Oh, it’s on. All July long, a new Purple Stuff Podcast will drop every Saturday night. It’s our first-ever SUMMER SATURDAYS event, where we’ll be tackling all sorts of weird & awesome summertime nonsense over the course of four full-length episodes.

(Plus a bonus show, if you’re on our $6+ tier!)

You guys who support us here are the lead reason why we’re doing this. We thought we’d give ya more than usual next month, as a thank-you. This Patreon campaign has way exceeded our initial expectations and we’re super motivated about the show’s future.

We also figured, hey, summer is this thing we remember being SO GREAT, and now we’re all old and “responsible,” and there aren’t as many opportunities to grab at everything the hot months offer. So at least now you’ve got us to look forward to on Saturday nights, all July long.

Stay tuned -- the first of our SUMMER SATURDAYS shows will drop on July 6th.

WAIT, DON’T GO YET!

In the comments, drop us some summer-related questions for an upcoming Q&A episode. (We’re not sure if that episode will be a main or bonus show yet, or a mix of both.) Questions can be about ANYTHING somehow related to the summertime -- big summer movies, old memories, summer foods, giant sharks, whatever you can think of. Hope to hear from you!

Holy shit! Ok my question is what is your favorite summer toy memory, something you cherish playing with in your backyard on a summer day when you were a kid

Geddy Lee

I have a question for you guys, from one jersey boy to the next! What is your favorite boardwalk in NJ, and any special reasons/memories why? Looking forward to these!

Alex BigGeek

If you could re-create a summertime experience from your youth to experience again, what would it be?

Greg Mesheau

What would be your ideal Summer Drive-In Tripple Feature & build the snack combo (extinct or still existing) of your dreams to get you through the evening.

scott

What's the most mischievous (possibly even illegal) thing you did as a kid during summer break?

Denise

What are your favorite summer songs? I'm way past having a summer vacation, but I still think about The Party's Summer Vacation (had to look up the band's name) and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's Summertime every summer.

Robert Rath

What kind of neighborhood games did you play as kids, and are there any great stories about them? I'm thinking of "wide games" like Manhunt, Flashlight Tag, Capture the Flag, park games like dodgeball, or even big water fights with intricate rules.

Casey Reagan

What movie was least deserving of its big summer roll out? One where the movie stunk so bad that all the Doritos bags, Pepsi cans, cardboard displays, Twinkies and toys seem comical in retrospect.

Shaun Anderson

Summertime as kids were you more inclined to be outside on a slip n slide eatin goldfish crackers? Or wandering a mall eating a food court pretzel?

Patrick Lacey

Fondest summer blockbuster memories? Best super soakers? Thunderstorm antics?

Geoff Bartlett

What’s an obsession you had that you spent an entire summer doing? For example, when I was like 11 my friend and I spent a full summer playing Doom II. Did you have anything like that? Can’t wait for Summer Saturdays!

PhDeath

How did you survive those long summer car rides to vacation destinations? (For me, that was the 4+ hours to get from northeastern PA to Wildwood; "down the shore" as we called it!)

🕷️@Lindz_Jay🕷️

Summer road trip vacation memories in the car with the family. What items did you bring with you? What kept you entertained? Any funny stories or specific memories being stuck in the car with your family?

Ryan Hawthorne

What daytime tv shows did you watch, not because you liked them, but out if boredom. Also Pizza Hut is going back to using their classic logo. Not really a summertime thing but still interesting news.

Sal

Do you guys have memories of watching WWF Summerslam live back in the day? If so, what are your favorite WWF Summerslam memories?

Foxy Cleave

At what point during the summer do you start checking the craft stores for Halloween stuff?

DJ D

Summers for me as a kid often meant killing an entire afternoon beating a video game. 'Contra' was perfect for that. Did you have any games that you liked playing from beginning to end all in one go?

DJ D

Another one -- Summers were also all about roaming the neighborhood. We had one house down the street where it was rumored that a woman drowned her kids and killed herself, so the house was haunted. The kids in my neighborhood would dare each other to go into the yard and look in the windows. Did you grow up with any local urban legends or scary houses that you didn't want to go near?

Lily W

Summer memories at an amusement park? Like one year my best friend and I tried to ride all the roller coasters at Cedar Point (we got most of them). Another summer we rode one of them - the Iron Dragon - 17 times. Another year, when pepsi (?) had Starwars Episode I tie in, we spotted tons of discarded bottles, trying to see if we could spot them all. There were a LOT of Darth Maul!

Lily W

Best/worst memories at the beach? How many suggestions are we allowed each? I can probably come up with lots, but don’t want to overdo it.

Mary!

What's your favorite thing to eat at a summertime cookout? I feel like certain foods just taste so much better in that setting!

SevenYearsThisSunday

One fond summer memory was the summer movie programs my local theater ran(these days it's dollar tickets, I think back then it was a free movie and dollar popcorn and drinks), I'll be honest the only movie I distinctly remember seeing at one of those showings was the "Carebear" movie, but that was actually surprisingly dark if I remember correctly. Do either one of you have a memory of one of these summer movie series? Anyone else?

SevenYearsThisSunday

Last day of school memories? Sometimes that last day of school can get pretty crazy, doing nothing in class but playing games or watching movies, water gun fights at dismissal, all sorts of zaniness!

Deathcrunch

In the spirit of Saturdays, what is your dream Saturday morning line up?

Deathcrunch

Oh, and if you were in charge of creating the ultimate cereal mash up, what would it be? How would your box look like? What about commercials?

Alice Bueno

What are some of your “must-watch” movies during the summer season?

Alice Bueno

Also, do you guys have any spooky summer traditions to keep the Halloween spirit alive?

Josh Bell

What are your favorite summer blockbusters ever?

Zarsheesh Divecha

I have a (slightly weird) question - was there ever a summer thing (event / movie / experieince / toy?....anything at all!) that you had missed out on as a kid, that you wish you could go back in time and have? What would be your number one picks, to go back in time and experience?

Theo Lusitano

What non-"Jaws" shark movie is something everyone should see? And what is the greatest ever shark toy?

Tony Spielmaker

While growing up did you ever have an ice cream truck in your neighborhood and if so what was your “go to” purchase?

Michael Henderson

Did either of you go to summer camp? If so do you have any good/bad stories from it? If not did you ever want to go?

KIRK OLDFORD

What is the best use for a vibrantly colored trapper keeper over summer break? Answers could be reality based or not :)

Lily W

Favorite summer themed toy or toy or toy line? Maybe one that you were jealous a friend got but you never did?

Lily W

What classic summer movie would you like to see a Rankin/Bass version of?

Joe Doyle

What part of the summer do you start getting that Halloween itch? What signals the switch from Summer to Halloween season?

brian kent

Was there anything in particular that happened that signaled the Official End of Summer for you guys? Usually I would hold out hope that Summer might never end until that last day before school started, but sometimes that flyer would come in the mail with the list of school supplies and I'd know that my days were numbered. BONUS: Favorite firework?
