I genuinely couldn’t imagine going out of my way to take these kind of actions to simply interview a guy I use to have respect for, definitely gotta give Mark props for taking such a ballzy move.
@@Folfah yes please, I’ve comment on many of his videos recently but he hasn’t made a post yet, i thought that, you know, TH-camrs kind of notice the first comments that appear on their video.
"What a story Mark." 😂 But seriously, I can only imagine how surreal it must've been to meet Butch after your history with him as well as your admiration for his older work. Also, I'm loving your podcast with Veronica. I look forward to every episode.
I have a friend who worked very close to butch Hartman. He says even before everyone started hating him, he was always maniacal and extremely egotistical. To the extent that he full on believed butch had narsasistic personality disorder. He says the only reason no one knew was because nickelodeon was managing his image. Now that he's on his own, cracks started to form. At one point, both him and Butch were up for different Emmies. He got it, but butch didn't. The next day at work, the first thing butch says when he walks in the door is "hey how'd it feel to win an Emmy? I wouldn't know having never gotten one"
This makes everything make so much more sense now lol. I can’t believe the entire creation of Meeting Halfway was solely to get the chance to interview Butch. What a brilliant mad lad
Its so satisfying to know as a person who has watched this channel for a long time that you have FINALLY MET THE GREAT BUTCH HARTMAN edit: this is my most liked comment lol thx everyone :)
I'm glad you could get your senses together and have fun interviewing Butch. Even though, despite the fact I can tell with some topics like the live action Fairy Oddparents reboot you couldn't really share your real thoughts about it. Anyway just wanted to say I've been enjoying the podcast a ton, and I'm really looking forward to the interview with Hugh Neutron's VA.
Can't believe you and Veronica made a podcast by accident. I hope Butch at least sees that there's no ill will, even if he doesn't want to work together again.
Even though I dislike butch, I am amazed with how professional and respectful you were during the interview. Yes you did trick Him with your identity. But you didn’t ask him uncomfortable questions or try to expose him unfairly. I do not like Butch and how he acts and how he believes autism can be cured (it can’t, I’m sick of people saying That) and people like that make me uncomfortable as someone with autism. And also the whole Oxasis streaming service. But you conducted the interview so well and with so much respect and not invading his privacy.
Honestly it's weirdly wholesome that you sat down for a normal interview despite everything that's happened, and I love that you decided to continue the podcast. I think Veronica's apparent nerves of steel helped sell the whole thing, because holy shit she seemed unfazed lmao
I was actually incredibly confused as to how you were able to get an interview with Butch. Like I kind of assumed he wouldn’t want anything to do with you after how much you’ve dunked on him. I’d unironically like to see you do another collab with him.
I love how absurd the premise of the gag was, to actually have happened and then spurred more like it. It reminds me of the video game detective work of Nick Robinson who’d constantly fly from California to Japan and back to talk to industry veterans (and in one instance the most popular American person on Japanese television). Honestly didn’t expect such incredible dedication from any cartoon discussion TH-camrs; it’s delightful to see. Definitely gonna check out everything on Meeting Halfway, and I look forward to each future episode
Memes aside its super cool you and Veronica managed to get an interview with him! Her animation for the intro is super cute, looking forward to who else you both get on! Because despite how easy it is to criticize him you and most of us can still respect his work over the years, and you did good in the end when you chose to do the interview seriously. Shame you had to practically lie and create a whole new channel but hey it worked out in the end lmao
This is like that Simpson's episode where Sideshow Bob finally captures Bart and instead of finishing him off, he realizes how alive their rivalry makes him feel and starts singing an opera.
Honestly I'm glad you guys just did a normal podcast instead of just fucking with the guy. He seems like a cool dude, just made a few dumb decisions in the past. I'm happy we got a fun interview where he answered some questions, rather than a video of him realizing he'd been tricked and never doing another interview ever again.

my favorite scene from breaking bad was walt's "i am the danger" speech directed at skyler. the witty one liner from heisenbones afterward really sells the scene for me
Genuinely fascinating video. You called it cold feet mate but I respect you for taking the high road and interviewing the creator butch hartman and not the eejit everyday butch hartman. Fair play
I'd like to say that I have never watched your channel before, so I didn't know your history with the guy. I saw the interview because I love digging up as much info on Butch as possible. I could never have guessed it was a fake podcast or that you actually disliked Butch. I really thought you guys were genuine fans who had a lifelong dream of meeting him. That's how convincing it was lol
What if his recorder turning off 60 seconds in wasn't an accident. Theory: he recognized you and got you to pay thousands to travel across the world and sixty seconds into the conversation he turned it off on purpose to mess with you as he was expecting you to mess with him.
Ngl, “how I almost interviewed Butch Hartman, but blew my chance and was sent home sad and defeated” sounds like an infinitely more interesting video than “interviewing Butch Hartman”
This has come full circle, couldn’t be more satisfied if this is the last time you talked about Butch, although that’s pretty unlikely, I’ve seen what you upload.
I think this is a perfect accidental setup for a podcast for you at the very least. And remember....we all started out liking the man and his work, even though we can only look fondly back at our memories of the cartoons there is still something good at the very least there still. I .GET. that seeing someone passionate about what they have made thing and feeling bad , it's a natural reaction I think
Hang on....I can't not asociate that ending song with TotallyNotMark at this point. But it' funny you both used it as a ending song lmao. Anyway, nice video. I think how you handled it was very respectful tbh, it shows a lot that you realized even for someone as definitely horrible as butch, doesn't deserve to essentially get tricked into an interview where you shit on him. The change to genuine questions and a heartfelt interview was a nice one. Also the dedication to the funny is incredible as always Mark keep it up.
Hey Mark, I don't know if you'll see this comment. But I bet that for the next person you can interview next with your podcast. I think you should try to get funny man Seth McFarlane to the show

I thought he was 70.
That's insane I thought the dude was in his 40's
Maybe the true troll this whole time was Butch scaring Mark into giving him a normal interview instead of going through with his prank interview.
I'm glad you could get your senses together and have fun interviewing Butch. Even though, despite the fact I can tell with some topics like the live action Fairy Oddparents reboot you couldn't really share your real thoughts about it.

Who would've thought that a podcast would come out of something like this? Best of luck for the future of Meeting Halfway.
