The entire run of the Robert Stack era is streaming free on YouTube, so you can watch all six segments before or after listening to the show! Follow the links below to check ‘em out:

WAIT, DON’T GO! In addition to the new episode, we’ve still got another bonus show to drop before February ends. We’re thinking we wanna do a Q&A. (Been a long time since the last one!) We’ve already compiled a few listener questions, but we could use more. In the comments, ask us something and we might answer it on the next bonus show!

Not sure how it would work, but would you ever consider another Patreon tier that offers access to X-E archives?

EternianOverkill

curious about what y'all consider iconic scents. like moss man or a particular scratch n sniff sticker. 👃🏼

What was THE motivator (key object/moment/event) that compelled you to go from enthusiasts of Pop Culture, to content creators?

Brew Berry

If the Purple Stuff podcast could be celebrated in only one of these three ways, which would you choose? 1) Getting a shoutout from John Cena before a WWE match 2) a Weird Al tribute song 3) Purple Stuff Twinkies.

Josh Hankemeier

Would you consider doing an episode of the Purple Stuff Podcast featuring scary things from Disney productions? Pleasure Island and the witch from Snow White were mentioned in previous episodes about childhood fears. If you have more Disney-related picks that would make up an entire episode, I'd love to hear them! Thank you!

Big question: What's the best movie you made up in your head based on the video art, but never actually saw the movie itself? (Mine's Ghost Town. I just know nothing's gonna match the swagger of that cowboy skeleton on the cover)

Michael Lindner

A little off topic, but I actually filmed an episode of Unsolved Mysteries when the show moved to Lifetime... one of the last of the Robert Stack Episodes. I played an escaped convict accomplice in season 12 Episode 28. It was soooooo low budget, but crazy fun to be a part of.

Surprised this one hadn't been done but glad to see it! And this isn't really Q & A level question but... you guys have a red stuff episode, a green stuff episode... but is there a purple stuff episode? I don't see one, though I haven't made my way to the earliest episodes yet. 🤔💜

Question: Are you two in the same room/location when you record or do you record virtually?

Rodrigo Barros

Do you guys still follow WWE enough that you'd consider doing a minisode a month discussing the product, or at least a big 4 one ('Mania, Survivor Series, Summerslam and Rumble)?

Arcade Hunters hoarding all the Bigfoot 💩

What about an episode about your top 5 Saturday nights? Could be from elementary, middle, or high school, or even beyond. The type of nights that has stuck out in your mind since they happened.

Mark Dziak

One question: Do you have any memories from long ago that you were never able to identify that drive you crazy now? (Like old songs, shows, places, etc.)

Mark Dziak

Another question: Are either of you interested in creative writing, film-making, or anything like that?

Electrolux

What does Jay do for a living? He's pretty spendy. Must have a good job. Didn't he pay $42,000 for a He Man sword?

Mary!

Once everything has re-opened, and life is back to normal, what activity/destination are you most looking forward to? And I don't even mean big-deal things, like Disney World or whatever - stuff like "seeing a movie in the theatre" definitely counts (and is near the top of my own list)!

Mike McFly

If we had a time machine or a crystal ball I’d wager that the tallman family had just watched poltergeist on the nbc Sunday night movie right before the haunting began. I’m surprised Jay’s family never experienced haunting after his dad found that 1986 Barbie dreamhouse “on the curb”

Edgar Sutcliffe

I think I'm one of the few British fans of the show. My question would be what are your favourite toys/snacks/shows from the UK?

Lily W

How about what food mascot do you want to see or think deserves a comeback? (Not obvious choices)

Alice Bueno

Has there been any movies recently that have made your skin crawl? I really liked Possessor, but Saint Maud did make me feel a little unsettled!

Alice Bueno

Purple Stuff Podcast merchandise? 🤞💚💜

Candy

What podcasts do y’all listen to?

Bridget

maybe some more of y’all’s favorite product/food/toys/etc background cameos in older shows/movies/commercials?

Lily W

Thought of something else - modified desert island questionnaire. You land on an island and can have three things - a discontinued food item of your choice (snack food, candy, whatever), a single Dvd of either a retro movie or single season of a retro tv show, and a cassette tape of a retro album (or if you choose, a mix tape you had taped off the radio with your boom box with 5 songs on it). Much more complicated than I initially thought whilst lying here in bed going to sleep. But probably more interesting than my other idea.

Anita

! If you have a hoopla account with your local library they also have some unsolved mysteries episodes.

Brittany Hodge

I held some episodes back to save them, and I just now got around to listening to this one. I am beyond thrilled that you guys covered the Unsolved Mysteries episode with the Tallmans and the haunted bunk beds! When I was in the 6th grade (circa 1999), I had the flu, as did my friend Randy who lived nextdoor. We took turns staying at each others' houses while we were sick, and one day we watched a bunch of Unsolved Mysteries. This segment freaked us the hell out! I thought maybe I was the only person who remembered this, and I'm so glad to know that it wasn't just some crazy fever dream!
