As we mentioned, we're kicking off 2023 with *two* bonus shows for January. The first one was posted last week. For the second one, we're thinking it might be Q&A time again. It's been a while!

Hit us up with questions, in the comments! We'll select a bunch that we both can answer for an upcoming bonus episode. Questions can be about anything... the podcast, movies, toys, junk food, our favorite Monopoly properties, whatever.

Thanks in advance! We'll shout you out if we use your question, of course!

Why did you hide ghostbuster marshmallows for Jay to pick up from Big Lots? Why not buy them for him and give to him later? Also, are we at the end of nostalgia blogs? It seems most new content is coming out on social media feeds and pods. Not just you guys, everyone. I miss the old longer form writing. Is someone going to create a nostalgia blog about nostalgia blogs one day?

Nolan Hanson

A lot of these may have been covered by other comments, but here goes nothing: * What toy line would you bring back, and what toy line would you delete from existence? * What movie from your youth do you wish had a toy line when the film came out? * If you could live in a real-life version of any TV show set, what set/show would it be? * Who would you choose to be a co-host of the Purple Stuff Podcast (and why is that choice the version of Splinter that sings "12 Days of Christmas?")

Kay Braun

Out of all the ‘year spotlight’ episodes, which year would you want to actually go back and relive?

brian kent

If you could be the CEO of any one company (eg. Nabisco or Disney) which would you choose and what would be your first decree on the first day of work? For example, I would choose Budweiser and bring back the Bud Bowl campaign, even if it was the middle of August. (Now that I typed that, did they do that already?)

MattBearPig86

What comic book storyline and/or single issue had the biggest impact on you growing up? What theme park ride did you always want to go on but didn’t have the opportunity to ride?

Lee Brown

What do you guys do for a living outside of the podcasting and website stuff?

Scott Southworth

Any chance of the show going weekly for Halloween like in the first year?

Edgar Sutcliffe

As, I guess, one of your few British followers - what are your favourite British things/stuff? Anything particularly British you love?

Electrolux

Matt: What happened to shrunken Apple Head? Did the Feds finally catch up with him?

Nick Ozment

What song would a spy put on a loop to torture information out of you but would be completely flummoxed when you just smiled and sang along?

Electrolux

Where do babies come from?

Jason Sanity

What are your fave book books? Like novels. Do you try hunting down old Goosebumps or Hardy Boys Casefiles or Stephen King?

Neil Walker

If you had to live in the world of a life sized version of any toy line, which would you choose, & what would a day in the life look like?

Sarah Sepanek

Would you two ever consider doing any sort of live panel discussions/events or movie watch parties (in person or online), either PSP or teamed up with other pods/groups? I know you did the Grem ep for Salem horror fest, would be cool to see more stuff like that (especially here in Austin!)

Jon S.

Way back, Matt asked Jay how much he paid for his Macy’s Parade Power Sword replica. He dodged the question, understandable. But, it’s been like seven years. How about this - - how many (price inflated) cartons of eggs could Jay buy if he sold the sword?

Jon S.

I’m curious to know from Matt what the vintage/retro food collecting scene is like. What is Matt’s craziest/strangest experience from collecting? Or, what is an item that he can’t seem to track down?

Mike McFly

My question; what was Matt’s favorite game on the Atari 7800 and What was Jay’s favorite game on the sega master system? Also what was your school yard argument with the Nintendo kids, to prove your systems were “better” 😅

Vee Hoffman

Q for both of you: in the spirit of Freddy vs Jason and Alien v Predator, what's a big budget franchise crossover that never happened but would have whipped serious ass in its prime? For each of you, particularly.

Lily W

Question 3. Any memorable adventures or rather misadventures that were intended to have episodes or minisodes based on them, but failed so spectacularly that the episode had to be scrapped?

Am Rife

If you could create a TV crossover, what two shows would you cross, and what would happen?

Horror Movie BBQ

What obscure movie are you proud to admit you saw in the theater?

Slashersteve1031

The year is 1988, you have $50 to blow at the mall. What stores are you hitting and whats going home with you?

Thee Kim Reaper

Are there any movies (horror or otherwise) that you feel define you or really affected you as a person? Mine has always been Dawn of the Dead. No matter how many times I've watched it, I always feel a certain way by the end.

Broderick Goodnight

What are some Purple Stuff episodes you got close to doing but probably won’t ever get back to again?

Andrew Shaw

When did you two decide you would never smile in pictures? I honestly think it's pretty funny- but a bit curious. I figure this is why you may never do a "filmed" podcast. But that would be SO great if you did!

Erik Erickson

What can you buy on ebay that still smells like it did in the 80s or 90s?

Blaine Ferguson

Greetings from the frozen north (aka Canada). I’ve wondered this for a while, and I’m fairly certain Matt was born very close to my birth year (1979) just from so many of our childhood touchstones being nearly identical in so many ways. Jay I’m not so sure about. Would you guys be comfortable letting us know your birth years?

Shaun Anderson

So the movie “Prey” was a really well done prequel to the Predator. What other 80s-90s movies could have a good prequel ?

DJ D

How likely are you to haggle over the price of a car?

Jack Kearney

You’re going to have to do 10 of these Q&A shows….

Jack Kearney

You guys don’t get overly personal on the podcast but might as well ask… Pretty sure neither of you are married, how important is it for a partner to get obscure references to MOTU toys or old WWE storylines? You both seemed to have pretty great childhoods, at least in regards to the topics discussed on the pod, any desire to try to recreate that kind of magic for children of your own? How much do you think growing up in the tristate area played into your love of nostalgia? Have you ever considered having guests on the show?

Louie Romo

What are your favorite fast food restaurants, and your favorite thing on the menu there?

Lark McManus

What's the "one that got away" item you wanted to buy or considered buying but missed your chance?

Mark Dziak

I'm a big fan of flea markets so I'd like to know what your best flea finds were. ("Best" can be your favorite or the most valuable.) BTW, thanks! I always enjoy the show.

Cobb Webs

In a Freaky Friday scenario, Laurie Strode and Nancy Thompson switch places. Does this change the outcome of each other's fate? Also, if you could switch another two movie protagonists or antagonists for fun, who would it be?

Anita

Best Candle of all Time?

Matthew Austin

Movie with a made-for-TV edit that actually improves the movie?

Scott P

So you guys have an uncle, and this uncle wins a TV station in a poker game. And lo and behold he hands you the deed! - What new shows do you green light? - What classic shows do you re-run or bring back? - What's your killer Friday night lineup? Your lazy Sunday afternoon filler? Your Wednesday 4am hidden gem?

Brett H

If you could bring back one discontinued junk food item what would it be?

RyanD

I just watched Color if money &tom cruise works at child world. What's the most unexpected toy or kid thing to pop up in an adult drama you've seen?

Mark Dziak

Do you guys believe in 1.) aliens, 2.) ghosts, or 3.) Bigfoot?

Mike Tansey

Can Leviathan make a guest appearance? Or is it a “Pee wee’s playhouse Vs Pee wee’s big adventure “ situation?

Mike Tansey

If you could add a new Monster cereal mascot, what would it be and what flavor would it be?

Electrolux

To Jay: What do you do for a living? Do you work in a stone quarry like Fred Flintstone or make sprockets for Spacely like George Jetson? Seriously, where do you get your scratch?

Doug B

Would you two ever do live Purple Stuff shows? I'd totally grab a ticket.

hogan getting a blowjob from warrior @ mania 6

Does the re-release of some of these nostalgia items ever make them feel less special to you? Like, I don't really want to get the new Crystal Pepsi or the new Mt. Dew Pitch Black. I'm happy others can get them, but they don't scratch the same itch for me.

Michael Larson

What's the best thing you've found in a vending machine?

Cameron Fowler

The holy grail of collectibles - a fully intact teenage mutant ninja turtle pie…. How much would you be willing to pay for it and how much would it take to get it off your hands after acquiring one?

Matthew Zmijewski

You're in charge of conceptualizing (flavor, packaging, marketing approach, etc.) a new soda or candy - what're you coming out with?

Jason Buchwald

Favorite 5 wrestlers who should be made into a LJN figure.
