Trey Parker and Matt Stone talks real life characters behind South Park and more...

Matt Stone and Trey Parker interviewed in The 7PM Project (February 2, 2017). They talk about the creative process, controversy,the best reaction they’ve had from a celebrity and the real life characters behind South Park.

[@AcidAroma]

“We’re thinking of owning restaurants.” Not a year later Matt Stone and Trey Parker are now the proud owners of the real life Casa Bonita Mexican restaurant. Amazing.

[@klammyvagikarp7578]

I think people assumed they were joking since they're comedians. Aussies are used to speaking in sarcasm, so they probably thought they were taking the piss. I also saw a KZbin video about how they have to watch the cable schedules because whenever that episode gets broadcast, Casa Bonita gets a spike in customers.
