Id suggest looking up and watching this part of the interview to make sure that the context is right. There appears to be more said between the last two lines that are edited out of the clip and in this post. And they all seem to come from conservative sources.

Ooh, yeah. I had the ones with the springs that you shoved the wires into. Made all kinds of things with it.

In our neck of the woods, we called them "stiffies" which caused many a young'n to smirk or giggle.

Nice. I have fond memories of using 110 cartridges in cameras when I was a kid. Had one camera that did not automatically wind to the next frame when I was ~10. Got some very unintentional but super cool double and triple exposures with that one.
