Episode Date: January 6, 2026

Who Ya Gonna Call? Go Off Kings! we had Stefan Heck (Blocked Party)and Jesse Farrar (Your Kickstarter Sucks) on to talk about  Ghostbusters Guys! Wouldn't it be cool if you could invent a ghost trap? We catch up with some Ghostbusters Pet Peeves. Some interesting questions about how the business works, and Chris learns something distressing about Foo Fighters.

PO Box 10769 Columbus Ohio 43201

of the guys the podcast about guys who you're going to call it would have been better if you're like who are you going to but then I would be like oh the branding's all messed up because oh yeah I forgot you're really big on branding big on branding we have recently learned about marketing let's go branding yeah on the nice one on the podcast and we sometimes have meetings about it and I'm like who cares about branding and Brian's like uh me and then he sort of goes into the branding stuff the most we did that marketing guys episode and guys I kind of seemed like I was making fun of them but I wasn't yeah I get that on a lot of your episodes actually yeah oh god all right I got to tell you who the guests are we're doing ghostbusters guys and there's only two guys I could ever bring on to do it jesse farrar and

stephen heck hi guys hello yeah it was a no brainer for us when we saw ghostbusters guys come down the pipe we thought well we looked at each other and we were like obviously it's careful for what else comes out of that pipe it could be ecto Plus. Slime. Yeah. Well, it was like, because I know you guys like the Ghostbusters news guy. I was like, I'm not going to make fun of it.

I told Stefan this before we started record. I'll tell you where this episode came from. There's this group of guys and ladies. It's not all men that drive around in a white key of soul that's painted. Mostly men, I would assume, though. Yes. Okay. It's painted like the act.

Why are you still getting tripped up on guys as only men? Shouldn't you be disposing of that here in year four or whatever? of doing the show? I'm saying, but I'm saying there's some way worried about it. Because I didn't want to be like, are people, are people yelling at you? That's what I want to ask.

Are people getting mad at you? But I don't want to say that only, the only fans of Ghostbusters are. Damn, somebody say, only fans, ghostbusters? That's what I'm talking about. Jesse, relax, man. Let me Google that real quick and see. Sorry.

I had some erotic fan chick. I had a Diet Coke. Sorry, I'm kind of. But, um, you're Diet Coke, not Coke Zero? Yeah, my wife switched to Diet Coke. So I just, I just went with her, yeah.

I mean, I, you know, I love Diet Coke. I'm a diet guy, not a zero guy. I'm ambivalent about it. I don't know, whatever. I don't care. So, yeah, I just drink water, like, for the health benefits or whatever. But you guys keep, hey, keep drinking your fucking carbonated syrup. Diet Coke is healthy.

Zero percent all the way down. Yep. Yeah. I drink. It doesn't have anything in it. There's nothing. It doesn't either. Yeah, that's what it says on my zero sugar cherry seven up.

Not a significant source of anything, it says on the back of the camera. Anyway, this guy, these guys drive around town in a white Kia Soul that's kind of painted like Ecto 1. And like anytime there's a parade or something, they'll do it. And then they'll get out and they'll walk around with a little proton packs and like have a good time. Is the main one. Some of us don't know Ghostbusters. That's the car. Okay.

From Ghostbust. Yeah. And then I. Come on. No, I mean from, but I thought I did. But I don't know that name. I'd never heard that name. What did you think Ecto 1?

He's talking about a car. I mean, I assume, but I just want to be sure. Maybe Ecto 1 is like the bad guy's car. No, no, no, no. Oh, it's the bad guy's car? Chris knows so little about Ghostbusters. He thought Muncher was something you do at the Pearl Jam concert or whatever. I forget what band it is.

It's chomper. Whatever. Yeah, Muncher would be telling. That would be more like sort of what Brian would be doing a titney after the show. Muncher is not canon to me also, by the way. That's what you do at the at the Swinger Club. That's right. Chris is so dumb.

He thought that munching was a single. guy thing at the sex club. Yeah, but we weren't talking about much of a weird. They don't generally get to, they don't generally get to do much Muncheon either. We were talking about the car. So yeah. So anyway, this car, these guys do this. So then I'm out of town. The Columbus Ghostbusters you're talking about. Yes. There's a Column title. Alternate title for this episode. So anyways, as Brian continues to get to any of the content. How, how crazy is it that they're Ghostbusters and they're driving a soul? I like that. I do. He did say that before we're recording. That's a great. Can I be honest?

Don't tell them I said that before you got. I'll be honest with these stuff. I still think it's funny. That's barely funny. I didn't say it was a joke. So I, it's just interesting. So yeah,

I find out later. I'm on one of my rare trips out of town. You know what I mean? I'm somewhere doing something. What do I see? I see a fucking Ghostbusters car driving around. Where were you? I don't,

probably Asheville. I would get, because Asheville's last place I was went. Wonderful city. Highly recommend it. But if in Nashville, North Carolina, I see Ghostbusters there. And it's not a, it's not a Kia Soul. It's a different white car, but it's the same thing.

They're like, what is the kind of car that they use? Do we, do we know? It's a hearse. Oh, okay. But it's so it's a hearse in, in Ghostbusters 2016, which I just watched last night. But is it not like an old, like, ambulance or something in the first one? It might be, I don't know. I thought it was a hers.

I don't know the difference between cars. As you can tell, I drive a very plain car, like a gentleman. But it's not a model. It's not like a specific model that you could point to that you could go buy. Well, it's a 1959 Cadillac, Miller Meteor, Sentinel, limo-style end loader combination car, ambulance conversion. Okay. Yeah. So you're not going to get one of those.

They just don't have them anymore. So you got to put it on it. You just got to buy the biggest white car you can find in order to be a Ghostbusters. So then. I see these guys in Asheville. I'm like, so now we got to Asheville Ghostbusters too. So then I Google it. There's a Ghostbusters in every city in the country.

Makes sense. There's going to be ghosts aren't going to be all in one city. They're not actually busting ghosts. They more do they more like go to children's hospitals and say, you guys can touch my proton pack or whatever. That sounded nasty. Yeah. That's not what I mean. Sounded really bad.

I know. But they're saying like, because I always wanted to. touch a proton pack. I always wanted to hold the gun. You want to just touch the backpack? No, just hold the gun. Yeah, hold the gun. I get that. That's what I would have said. I remember even when I like, you know, I watched obviously Ghostbusters when I was younger and yeah, the gun did seem very cool. So is that, that seems like a toy they could have now where it would be like a realistic kind of and it would shoot some sort of fucked up shit out of it. Well, it doesn't shoot anything, which is a problem. Let's just take a look. I went to go spurt. G.B. Fans.com. Before you move on, Brian, can I just say

that it's actually not a Kia Soul, it's a Honda CRV. Oh, I drove a CRV until I just got my new car. Sorry, everybody. Wrong car. I just want people who are in Columbus on the lookout for the eccomobile. Yeah, because they'll be looking for the Kia Soul. Where's the Kia Soul? They'll see the, like, you know, they'll see the ghost special mobile, but it'll be a

whatever and they'll be like, well, that's not them. I guess that's not it. I guess that's a different home. And to tell you the truth, the second car that the Columbus, Ghostbusters have is a Toyota looks like maybe a Highlander or something. They've got two cars. And it's not even white. It's a black car.

So in this case, that's fucked up. People in Columbus looking for the Ghostbusters will be saying, well, I know I heard Brian say that it was a white Kia Soul, but that's a white Honda CRV and there's a black Toyota Highlander next to it. So I guess that must be the Ghostbusters from out of town. Or the bad guys.

Or the Cincinnati Ghostbusters. It could be the bad guys. It could be that or Brian was wrong about. something like ghosts it could be ghosts that are pretending to be ghostbusters as part of some kind of a thing yeah you need to write a movie slimer drives the car in ghostbuster 2016 i saw that in the trailer i never saw the movie but that was in the trailer with his wife for girlfriend i don't know if he's why there's like a situation ship kind of she was giving him roadhead which is why he crashed the ectomobile into he has a dick he has a yeah does he have a dick that's how he's a bunch of

That's how he died before he was a ghost, right? He eats a hot dog and it slides down and comes out like a dick. And then she goes, yeah. Anyway, I went to G.B. fans. That would be a funny scene. I got it. I know. And you're like, oh, they wouldn't do that.

But you remember they did the famous sucking off scene. So they did that's a controversial scene. Because it's not actually Slimer's penis. It's a hot dog. And also, by the way, shout out to the chair company for showing an erect penis getting sucked on television. That was a big, big moment for me. That was crazy. Really?

Yep, they did. So Ghostbusters equipment is the question. Ask on GBFans.com. This guy goes, who else wants the Ghostbusters equipment to actually work and exist? I do. Wait,

whoa, wait, whoa. Yeah, hang on. That's interesting. This was real. That's so, I mean,

that could be on any sort of fan. That could be on like a Jurassic Park fan forum, you know, any sort of, that's really good. But it feels like it's, so these are people who are also like, because we,

we dealt with some of them, paranormal guys as well who believe that that there are ghosts around and stuff. Oh. Are these people who want to have a machine that can actually, they could be dealing with ghosts? I do and I hope one day in the future will. Just imagine you hear something in the night and whip out the PKE meter. I would finally get my answer to the age old question, do ghost exist? I have started designing a ghost trap, but I have no idea if it will work.

Have fun, cleaning up the town. Okay. Can we hear more about that? I think it's not going to work. well we can hear more about that this guy goes i'm curious if you have not yet stumbled upon a scientific method to prove that ghosts do in fact exist how have you started designing a device to capture these as of yet unobserved or quantified phenomena uh even in the films the development of the proton pack and ghost trap came after years of collecting data culminating in the trove of data they got from the library

ghost at the start of the film okay so he's saying like hey so in the movie they figured out that it was real, but you haven't done that yet in real life. Yeah. Well, then this guy, the guy replies, he goes, for the first guy that replied, I'm a proud ghost believer. And though I've not found proof if I have, proof I have a strong feeling. And plus, if it doesn't work, it's still a cool prop to have. Thank you for your consideration and thank you for taking the time to reply.

I did not think people would be interested in this. If it doesn't work, you could just market it as a like ghost repeller. Sure. Right. And then you just say like, no ghosts around, you know, do the old Simpsons like the tiger, you know, like just like, look, there's no ghosts, right? And that would be the, that would be the angle I would take probably. It's really funny to post in on a Ghostbusters fan forum in a thread called, don't you wish Ghostbusters were real? And say, I'm designing my own Ghostbusters trap. And then you get a bunch of replies and you're like, why, I didn't think anyone would be interested in. Yeah. It's so funny to think of a guy like sitting at home like tinkering with his Ghostbusters trap.

I wonder what I would be very interested to know like what it's made up of. No pictures. What the like components of it are. Have you guys ever seen this thing? Maybe this is just a country thing, but maybe you've heard of it where the guys do, I forget the exact name of it, but it's where they take the brains of a microwave out and they use it to zap a piece of wood and sometimes it kills them. Yeah, I don't know what the name of it, but I've definitely heard of that phenomenon before. It's like they do it to get a cool design.

Like they just use that. It's like the bird like the wood burning, I guess it is. And it just like the electricity like arcs through the wood in a way that kind of makes it look cool if you're stupid. And some guys love doing it so much that it like shocked their heart and it kills them because they took a part of microwave without knowing what it was. So they died doing what they love. Sure. And they got like a $400 table on Craigslist out of it. But I do think that the whoever is thinking about how do you make a proton pack, I think their first move is going to be. let me get that Mitsubishi piece of shit off the shelf and let's see what's inside, right? Yeah, because the microwave almost seems magical to begin with. I agree. A microwave is a good starting point if you want to do something magical science. If you want to do some magical science. Yeah, it's nuclear. Because we're convinced it's nuclear.

And you know in Ghostbusters that they deal with like radiation and stuff, right? Whenever it comes to anything that you can't kind of figure out, you're like, well, there's some radiation involved in this. So yeah, that would be. I do understand, I understand that dumb guy brain mentality of being like, let's take apart this microwave to like, you know, make something cool. Plus, it's got a keypad on it. So you can use the keypad to activate the trap. Oh, yeah. You could put a code. You could have a code in. Easily have a code that's in the numerical code because they have a number. It's got a door. You have to press popcorn to catch the ghost.

Well, this guy goes, my idea for the ghost trap. So now he's going to explain. his idea for. Okay. Oh, good. Is that it has some kind of energy field. I suppose. Okay. Well, that's, yeah. Exactly what we're talking about. Yeah. That's a microwave. Microwave is basically an energy field, right? Some kind of energy. It feels like they'll often do that where they'll be like the really important scientific part. They'll really gloss over it. Like there'll be some sort of

this thing. And then they'll have all sorts of details about the other stuff that doesn't matter. Things that note that like engineers can't figure out. He goes, uh, I suppose tempered is the word to a ghost spirit energy force. It might be able to hold it, but I'm not sure. It will be pressurized so that the spirit is sucked in and kept trapped. It don't need to be powerful and it'll need a lot of energy. For this reason, I'm not sure if it'll work. I may need more research.

For that reason. I would agree that he needs more research. Yes. And I think we as like a species or whatever, we need maybe more research. Yeah, we don't know what we're up against guys. We have no idea. We've got a lot of movies, but they've all got conflicting reports. ports in them.

Right. You know, you can find all kinds of different stuff about it. I watch it any movie with the word ghost in it and being like, all right, it seems like we need an energy field. It seems like we need to get some sort of a pottery wheel and kills perhaps. This guy goes,

if you're serious about this endeavor, you need to begin with the way to actually detect what if you're serious about this endeavor is so funny. It comes the fucking ballbuster. Completely made up shit. This ghost bust. If you're, If you're serious about becoming a Ghostbuster, it's a crazy thing to say anyway.

Let me guess. This guy's a mod on the forum, right? Okay. Great. And he goes, by being able to detect it, you can then work backwards to consider what the data tells you about the makeup of the phenomena. So you can then develop other equipment to potentially manipulate those phenomena. As of right now, as of right now, you know, absolutely nothing.

You cannot make a trap for something you know nothing about. Or rather, you can. but it'll be meaningless as the trap and the phenomena will have no relation to one another and then the mod just comes in and goes, I think this is possibly a good point to lock the thread. Any effort to build a containment vessel to hold a ghost feels like putting the cart before the horse, seeing as the existence of ghosts is still heavily disputed, even after over a century of accounts of encounters. I'll reopen this topic once irrefutable evidence of the existence of ghosts has been presented

by the scientific community. This guy, like, it's like the biggest day in the world as like ghosts are proven real. This guy like logging on to his computer. That's the most cold behavior of all time. I'm a man of my word. I am unlucky. It's like the world is in like chaos. Like it's like, you know, it's a post-thaclyphal.

The dead are walking again on the earth. It changes everything we understand about metaphysics ourselves and the great beyond. Some of the greatest questions of all humanity, which we've only been trying to think about for the last 100 years or so. it sounds like. And we got to get that thread unlocked because I feel a little bit guilty about locking it now with all of the facts. Sorry everyone. Hey, sorry

MB, everyone. This turns out it was 100% real. Yeah, you can get to work on that trap now. It's like a ceremonial. Get to work on that trap now. So do we want to get together and start brainstorming or what?

I think the mod is a little short-sighted here because he didn't really engage with the premise of the preceding post, which is, okay, cart before the horse, that's one thing. But how, what's it, what's an excellent way of proving that ghosts are real, trapping them? Yeah. So it's true. It's a chicken egg thing here. Yeah.

Kind of saying, hey, we got to trap this ghost to prove to figure out how to trap the ghost. Well, that's not going. Yeah. Let me say this as well. The original thread was, wouldn't it be cool if Ghostbusters was real? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I forgot that. So I feel like you could let that discussion keep going from it. It doesn't seem like that bad, but I guess if it's like, People are going to come here looking for a proton pack or a trap instructions. And we're not going to be able to do it. And even if we can, it doesn't work. Because imagine if ghosts show up and then you bring out your trap and it doesn't work. Oh, yeah.

And it's like, I went to the thing and I did everything they said. And now the ghosts are fucking, they're flying around doing whatever. They're whipping around, you know. That would be a liability for whoever's hosting the forum. So in that sense, you should stop all discussion on it because you don't want to be held responsible. If somebody gets taken to the other side when they try to use a ghost trap, That's your best best bet is that the ghost takes to the other side. I'm imagining, you know, just a horrible.

I don't even know what it would do to reality, you know. Well, here's a guy that did do a little bit of the work that you guys have been asking for. He goes, this is a different thread. A conversation with chat GPT about the feasibility of creating a real life proton pack. Okay, here we go. The proton pack idea is fun. Chat GPT's explanation is created, but has scientific flu. Creating a real proton pack would be a major engineering challenge.

Now, what follows this is four or five different posts that say, please give me, chat, GBT, please give me a 100 page report on the feasibility of creating a proton pack. And then asking that in different ways and then posting the results. the first guy goes honestly it's probably way harder than it looks into movies all that crazy tech and energy stuff ain't easy to fake or build for real but if you want to make sure your idea stay original how would you need to fake it well he goes not just copies of someone else's work check out same day papers plagiarism checker it saved me a ton when i needed to double

check my projects might not build you a ghost trap but hey at least it keeps you your work clean while you dream big. What's that? What's the issue here that you would be stealing someone else's ghost trap? I've become confused by that. Yeah. Well, this guy goes, don't underestimate the phantom. I mean, hell, they figured a way to,

around it to build a real proto-saber. Did you say, don't underestimate the fandom or the phantom? Phantom. Okay, okay, okay. Because Phantom would be, I mean, that's good advice too. I know that he's always lurking and could take me down at any moment. Is that Billy Zane? or the other one.

Alex, no, that's, Billy Zane's the Phantom. A Phantom is a sort of specter that exists in between parallel dimensions. There's a movie and Billy Zane plays the lead role. I believe Billy Zane plays the Phantom. In it? A Kia Zol.

A car. Oh, okay. I don't think Kia souls were invented yet. Here's the thing about, do you know that I drive a white Kia mid-range SUV that I could, I'm just thinking about it now. Uh-oh. Wait, is there a Vancouver?

I might be able to become the Vancouver Ghost Bus. Guy. Ghostbusters of British Columbia. Okay, so there's a website called who you're going to call.org. Yeah. And then you can go. That's a good website. All of the,

the Ghostbusters teams around North America. And do they have one in Vancouver? Because I have been looking for a new thing to make my identity recently. Yeah, they have an email. You can just email them from the page here if you want. Yeah. If you go here, I'll link it in the chat.

We have Ghostbusters of BC. I will send a message over to ask them if I am allowed to become the Ghostbusters guy in Vancouver. well there's already got to be a goat there's like you're trying to take some guys like a thing away this guy like I'm not at the time he's like I'm the ghostbusters guy and everybody's like he's the ghostbusters guy and then Chris pops in and it's like hey you mind if I become the ghostbusters oh well hang on a second listen I don't know a lot about the film you guys know I'm not sure how many there were in the film but I think there's more than one ghostbusters there was but you want to be the main one all right I found

this guy I want to be the erin of the ghostbusters no the Brian I found this guy okay He has a 58 video playlist of Ghostbusters Pet Pete. Holy shit. And how many, how many movies were there? Well, total there's three, five.

There's five, yeah. Five. And the real Ghostbusters. Yeah. The cartoon as well. So he's got pet, I was just thinking of like how you can even.

And the video games. And the video games. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. There's different media, I guess, that he can find grapes with.

Because fifth, that's a lot of video. about pet peeves. It seems like almost like maybe you don't like it. By the way, Chris, I looked up the Ghostbusters of British Columbia's. Ghost butters? Ghost butters.

That's an honest mistake. Sorry, you're right. Yeah. We're going to spread. Sorry, Ghost butters. Hey, Brian,

don't, Brian, that's not. Brian, that's not. We don't do that here. We don't do that here. Very unbecoming of you.

Yeah. You're going to make a mistake. It happens. Brian, is it okay if I move on now? Is that okay with you or do we want to? No. The Ghostbusters of British Columbia says,

Thank you to everyone that came out to the vampire-free blood drive today. This was in 2024, November 23rd. I just have to say, Chris, if you want an angle on moving in on these guys, I would say maybe let's get ghost busting back to ghosts and away from this. You're not really qualified to do vampires stuff. I would like to see Ghostbusters. Yeah, Ghostbusters taking on vampires would actually be like Ghostbusters versus Dracula. They'd be totally outmatched.

Are you kidding? They're pro-ton packs. have no effect. You don't know that. He's undead, not dead. Yeah, but they would, they would simply invent something else to fight Dracula. Well, I don't know, because Egon's dead now. You got to keep him in the continuity. Egon it was the science brain, but he pays passed away, even though he did come back as a ghost. Does he not have an offspring who is in the new films? I don't acknowledge those as canon. I do. I've never seen the frozen empire one. Yeah, no, I haven't, again, I'm not kidding. I've not seen the movie. I've

seen the trailer a number of times and that's where all my information comes. I I've seen in the movies. I have I have cried watching the trailers and then uploaded video of myself crying to the trailers. Well, here we go. Here we go. This guy has a pet peeve. And he's in his car like every guy with pet peeves. And someone else is filming him. He's driving in this car. Yeah, with somebody filming from the passenger seat. Very close like Chris. Okay. So I have a follow up to a follow up. More people are chiming in on my Facebook about proton packs and why is there a big cardboard box in the middle of the street. Is that the pet peeve? No, that was, by the way, everyone, for you, you guys are just listening. So he just literally drove by, there was a bot. He was, that was like a stream of conscience as he saw a box in the street.

That could have been a ghost trap. And if he had hit it, it might have unleashed a ghost on the town. So it's a good thing he avoided it. Holy shit, I never even thought of that. It's almost certainly what it was. Yeah. Yeah. Well, here he goes.

This is where it gets here. Okay, here we go. About proton packs and when the term became widespread in the, public's mind. So the first comment came from Dan Harshman who said, looking at the phone while driving. And I said the novel came out in 85. That's the problem with it. And I showed a picture of the, you know, first printing August 85. Oh, he's showing it now.

And he fires back a photo of the printed in 1984 page of the Larry Milne novelization. Oh, you fucking moron. Oh boy. Oh, this is embarrassing. He brought out the Milne report. Yeah, he thought he had something. He thought he had something. So basically, just to be clear here, there's some sort of argument about whether or not,

where the first mention of it was or something. Of the term proton pack. Okay. When they started calling him proton pack. And he said it was in this one book that came out in 1985 and now this guy. Yeah, I don't know. Well, admittedly, I haven't reread since I started doing this. Busters Pet peeves video series.

Okay, step one. He showed a picture of page 56, I believe it was. It's the elevator scene. Oh. And it is referred to as a proton pack in that. So there's a publication from 84 itself that used the term proton pack. And then Derek Osborne. He looks down at his phone.

Yeah, he's reading at his stop sign looking at his phone while he's driving. Like he's driving, like, he's not like cruising. He's like doing a full, he's driving like to the store. Yeah. I hate this intersection. And chimed that it was also referred to as a proton pack in the press kit, which I don't have copy of. But he pointed out Spook Central does. Oh, Spook Central has a copy of this.

And it's a little interview piece with Harold Ramos transcribed who says that Dan had a friend of his make the first proton pack, parentheses, backpack out of stock. out of styrofoam and old radio parts. Now, I'd heard that quote before, but I didn't realize that it was in press materials that would have been out in 84. Okay. So the interesting thing there is... The intersection does suck.

Yeah. Yeah. He's really turning the wrong way. Like, he should have turned the other way and then gone and pulled into something to turn around. He's trying to take the left onto essentially it's like basically a freeway, you know, and he's like trying to go across all these lanes.

on. Yeah, and he's got no light there. So he just has a wait for the traffic. It looks like a valvoline on the corner too. So that thing's probably slammed all times a day. He is wearing a Ghostbuster shirt though, which I respect. Yeah. He seems to me to be the kind of guy who was often wearing a Ghostbuster shirt. Do you think

he left the house that day saying like, oh yeah, I'm going to film a video in my car while I'm driving? I don't think even maybe he did, but I just think that I don't think he put the shirt on for the video. I think it's just one of the shirts that he wears. He just has a lot of Ghostbuster shirts. I would also say this is a very Ken Domic-coded style of video and fit that he's wearing,

which is the leather jacket, the Took, as we say in Canada, and a graphic T. Yeah. But Ken Domic, just, you got to remember that not everybody who listeners or listens to the show knows who Ken Domic is. He's a big star. Do your own research. Yeah. He's a fast food. That's what I did with the actual legend.

He's a fast food reviewer and he's very bad, very uninteresting. The one thing I'll say about this guy is I think he did get in. to his car, which is a Nissan, by the way. I guess he thought, yeah, I think maybe I'll, I think maybe I'll drive along the freeway today and I won't lock my door manually or depend on the auto lock that probably exists on this late model Nissan Ultimate here because my driver's side door is totally unlocked could come open at any point if I just accidentally brush to the hand. I think you might be going a little.

I think that's a little nitpicky. I mean, this person's nerve. It's okay. You don't need to have your door locked while you're driving. I'm just saying for as long as he. was stopped at that intersection, somebody could have come up and opened his door. That's the type of fear you live at.

He would have no recourse. He'd totally caught off. They'd probably grabbed his phone right off his lap because he's looking at it the whole time. So they know there's something valuable in there. You don't know if he has a gun or proton pack. I think he has a proton pack maybe, but I don't think it works because it's made of styrofoam. Fair. If you, magazine, what

have you, could have been using the term in 1984. And the reason that I've been trying to investigate this, is because season two of Stranger Things is set in 1984 and the guys all dress up as Ghostbusters, that's fine, but a lot of people were nitpicking and saying that the...

That's fine. That's fine. It's okay. It's fine. You can dress like a Ghostbuster. I'm accepting that the children on the TV show dressed as Ghostbusters. I'm not writing letters about that or anything. Yeah, so the issue is that they used the...

Presumably they used the term proton pack in Stranger Things. season two. I think so. And we're expected to believe the children were, what, reading the press releases. Oh, yeah. Sorry. They saw a press and a press junket with Harold Ramis. Like, that's what we're supposed to believe. Yeah, that's a little far-fetched. They read the British, they read the British novelization of Ghostbusters. The Larry Milne. I just looked up Larry Milne. People, Eagle-eared listeners will probably pick up on the fact that the Ghostbusters novelization was not his only work. Larry Millen

was also known for writing the adaptation for Biggles, the movie. Oh. Biggles? I don't know what that is. Yeah, Biggles, the movie, well, it was released in the U.S. as Biggles Adventures in Time is probably how you knew it. This was Peter Cushing's last

role. I, oh, it's a book series. Well, it's about, no, it's a movie that he wrote the novelization of the movie that was adapted from the book series. It looks like Airplane. that is. A guy who's a caterer is transported to the Western Front in 1917.

That sounds good. Jesse, would you like to, would you have any interest in joining the podcast? You're in episode research is incredible. You bring stuff. You're like doing stuff. You're like looking up stuff. You're adding things to it. I don't want to single out another guest on this call here, but there's a certain

someone else maybe on the call who's just sitting there like, oh, just do my little jokes or whatever. I was looking up Rule 34 images of the Ghostbusters. Oh, interesting. The marshmallow man getting fucked. So. Who would be fucking him?

Oh, buddy. Forget about it. He gone? Listen, I, can I tell you, Stefan, you did create an image in my head that I was fascinated and interested by. I would like to see the marshmallow man doing sex stuff, no doubt. Here. Oh, no, not right now.

Let's, Brian, you want to So this one, well, this one, you know, I said Daphne from Scooby-Doo. Is she fucking a ghostbuster? Yeah. So here, I will, hold on a second. There's a lot of Velma stuff on Rule 34. Here's another Ghostbusters.

Check this out. Pet peeve, by the way. I will look at that. Here's another Ghostbusters pet peeve before we get some more posts. Okay. Oh, and welcome to another little video series that I've been wanting to do. Okay, he's inside now. place here. These are my Ghostbusters pet peeves. Today is January 17th, 2018. I'm snowed in and I'm just a

little bit stir crazy. So my number one, Ghostbusters pet peeve, mother pus bucket. Okay. Filled all the time. And I know where it comes from. It comes from the subtitle track of the 1999 DVD, but the subtitle track was wrong. Oh, the word pus is spelled P-U-S. That's all. If you add another letter, you change the meaning and the pronunciation of the word. If you want to spell it correctly, P-U-S. That's all, nothing else. Thank you for watching and stay tuned. I've got a few of these. So hold on a second. He's got more of those. People, some people are saying mother plus. That's number one. That's his first video. Yeah, that's the first pet peeve. That was the thing that made him start the thing. He's

getting so mad at everyone saying mother pus bucket. A transcription error in the 1999 Ghostbusters DVD is like, I need to do a series of my pet peeves. This is the first. I'm starting with this one. Yep, I got to get it in. There is a guy that does say the Stranger Things thing. There's a couple guys. One guy goes, the boys being nerds got a copy of the script. Maybe Bob had some friends in L.A. And Max overheard them used the term at some point off screen. Now, that's one possibility. Yep. Another possibility is I'm sure the term must have been used on TV spots, articles, or interviews at the time. Given how obsessed the boys were, it's not hard to imagine that they could have learned it from there. Yeah, yeah. It's not.

hard to imagine in this completely made up and inconsequential world. It's an important conversation. Does 11 have psychic powers? So couldn't she just be like reading somebody's mind when they were writing the script for Ghostbusters and then tell the other kids? Oh yeah. He's in Stranger Things is like sci-fi, right? They have like supernatural stuff.

They don't really need to. Yeah, they just say like, oh yeah, they just use supernatural. And then this guy goes, oh yeah. If there was any info out there. I just said Ghostbusters is a little more grounded in reality, I think, than Stranger things. No, that's not true. Stranger Things has like the upside down and stuff like, it's like, what the hell is this?

Oh, yeah. If there was any info out there floating around about what the packs were called, the boys would know. I just have no idea of such info was floating around. I guess that's the real question. Were they called proton packs anywhere before the real Ghostbusters around October of 1984 and any piece of promo material or interviews? So, yeah, that's a guy at the end of class restating what the entire class was about and he just figured it out.

Yeah. I think this guy asked a good question. This thread is interesting. This guy has a really interesting question. He goes, what if bad people hired the Ghostbusters? Oh, my God. I don't, can we, can we read this on here?

What if a family like the one from Father's Day and Creep show hired the Ghostbusters? Maybe the father is a ghost instead of a zombie. What do the guys do when they figure out the spirit's motivation and gold? Do they bail? Do they do the job but gouged the family? do the job and alert the police thoughts ethical ghost capturing only this is a this is an important question to think but wait a second though what i don't understand so in creep show that vignette

um the uh the the the patriarch of the family was like a bastard to his adult children and so he was killed and then buried and then he came back to life and then killed his children and I think grandchildren and then like some other guy that was there. So what they're saying is if the

family called in the Ghostbusters to deal with in this case a zombie but he's actually a ghost just to make it. I think this guy just watched Creep show maybe if the Ghostbanger were brought in to dispatch the ghost dad of the family, not

to be confused with ghosts. No, not to be confused or ghost that. Yeah. Now they would definitely take him out, obviously. Yeah. Yeah. Would they,

would they dispatch him for the bad family who killed him? I think is what they're saying. Right. And I say the Ghostbusters don't get involved in those kinds of things. Well, I think one of the ideas was that they would do the job and then overcharge them. Yeah. That one was a weird one.

That's actually an odd one. Good idea. Or do the job and call the police. like you're the ghost busters what what are the police going to do but then the other thing too is like hey man do they even have a problem with that it's like they are ghost busters yeah whether or not however the guy got there he's a ghost he got to get busted right we're here to bust goes we don't ask questions we don't ask questions about it we're here to yeah we can we collect our money is what it does right like we they they go into the jails all the time there's the criminal isn't it in the

first one where there's like the guy who was executed by electric chair and he's in the subway or is that 2016? That's 2016. That's 2016. So like, okay, what if that guy was falsely imprisoned and executed? It happens all the time. Like, they're not thinking about that. They're just fucking zapping his ass back to hell. That's what the Ghostbusters do. Well, I don't think they all go to hell. No, they do. Every single one. You think Slime went to heaven? Well, technically they're trapped inside the ghost prison.

Which is a form of hell, I would say. It's like purgatory kind. It's like a big swampy thing that's swirling around, yeah. In the context of the 1986 and 1997 cartoons that the Ghostbusters worked out that something nefarious was taking place regarding their client or the job they were on, they seemed to take a firm stand against the person who was doing the scheming. See Look Homeward, Ray, Ghost Busted Bustman's Holiday, casting the runes, the true face of a monster and Heart of Darkness is strong examples. Heart of Darkness. These are episode titles? Yeah.

As for the live action team. This does sound like a pretty adult title. Cool show. As for the live action team, it's trickier to definitively say due to the smaller number of live action examples we have to work with. I'd like to believe they generally aim

for the moral high ground. If they found out their employer was not on a level, I'd believe they'd let them know to their face. They may also let the ghost go if they found out it was peaceful rather than malevolent. I do love this type of stuff based on no evidence whatsoever. I like to think. Based on like your sort of vibes of them

and this story that you're there creating like it's like they're just world building their own stuff you know i really do sort of appreciate that where it's just like yeah well i just kind of imagine that they would be really nice and cool in the way i want them to be you know well he does say there was a phone conversation near the start of ghostbusters the video game where janine informed a potential customer that the ghostbusters don't summon spirits to retrieve combinations to safe so that might give some insight into what the live action team would do and wouldn't do for customers. Yeah, if we're to assume that the video game Ghostbusters, come on, that's ridiculous. We talked about what's canon and what's not, and we're assuming the video game Ghostbusters is

canon at this point. The only thing that's not canon is 2016. It's 2016. Yeah. And that is because of a lot of reasons. And we'll read some of those reasons later. This guy does so, assisting the family, the Ghostbusters being professionals and dealing with supernatural entities might choose to help the family despite the ghost malevolent nature.

They could devise a plan to contain or neutralize the ghost while ensuring the safety of the family members. Their ultimate goal would be to resolve the situation and bring peace to the household. That doesn't sound like some of the Ghostbusters. I don't think they ever mentioned peace in the movies. It's understood. It's understood. I'm just meant to understand that they are in favor of peace. I didn't get that from it. Well, I don't know. It's like why you think that go, go. You think that's peaceful? Fricking marshmallow man smash up a building, that's peace for you? You cherry picked an example.

If there's peace, they're out of a job, right? Well, there's that element to it. I guess, do they kind of sort of... These sells, but who's buying. You know, there is, of course, the Ghostbusters Industrial Complex where it's like, yeah, they're obviously benefiting a lot from it. Who's selling the cure? Follow the money.

Are they creating it? Is there like these proto-proton, whatever things they have? Are they actually maybe creating more ghosts? Earth. Who knows? Ghosts are showing up to do battle with the Ghostbusters, right? So it's almost like that thing. You got a superhero like Superman lives in Metropolis and then Brainiac shows up.

Well, what about fucking Miami Florida? Is Brainiac in Miami? No, he's in Metropolis where Superman is. So there's no Brainiacs in Miami. That's for sure, Jay. I'm going to Miami. That's disrespectful. There's a lot of smart people in my.

We love all over Miami listeners. I like to apologize to our Miami listeners. If you want to give me drugs when I'm there, I'd love to take them. Especially if they got big bazongos. Ryan, don't. solicit random drugs from listeners when you're going to Miami. I feel like you'll get the worst, nastiest, dirtiest fucking drugs in Miami.

There's actually a lot of good drugs in Miami. That's where the drugs come from. I feel like they got some real, some real like fucking nasty cocaine there. That's the way I, but maybe I'm wrong. Actually, now that I think of it, maybe it's like the purest best stuff.

I think it's probably the really good stuff. This guy goes, I think in the real Ghostbusters, there was bad people that hired them like Donald Crump during DefCon. and at the same time a Dennis convention. And what happened to him? Do you think Donald Trump came the president?

Yeah. Do you think that the Ghostbusters will bust ghost for Donald Trump now? Ooh, are they are the Ghostbusters leftists? They're a defense contractor. Are the Ghostbusters leftists? We know that Grady is leftist. Yes. And I'm interested to know if the Ghostbusters, if they have good politics.

I think, I think Dan Aykrod would be an Andrew Yang guy. Yeah, for sure. That's fair. That's fair. Oh, no. He'd be more of the other. He'd be a RFK Jr. guy, actually. I would say Bill Murray, Bill Murray, who, what would?

The Bill Murray character is kind of like a goofball in it, right? Is he the silly guy? I kind of see Peter Vankman is doing a Nicky Minaj thing where he shacks up with a bunch of pedophiles and then tries to placate Trump in order to get a pardon for all of his weird family members whose balls fell off because of the vaccine. Holy shit. Don't do that. Just got Nikki Minot. That's the first time anyone's ever gone after. Nikki Minaj on the pocket. Sorry, barbs. I don't know any of the stuff you're talking about either.

Sorry to the bar. That's the, that's the way it is. All of my fellow unks out there, we just have to come to terms with the fact that she's a psycho and we can't get a boner for her anymore. You can still get a boner. I see what's happened here. They can't stop you. You were getting very horny for her. And then at some point, yeah, for like a long time. Yeah, then you realize at they can't stop you from doing that. It was too crazy. Yeah. I'll get horny for anybody. I fucking want to get horny for. Who are you getting horny for lately, Brian? Yeah, that's a great question. My wife.

No one was going to stop that. What are her politics? She's got decent politics. She's going to go politics. Brian, she didn't like the latest knives out. This takes place like two months later. Yeah. Brian, Brian, but what like celebrities?

Is there any celebrities that have been getting you or any? What's your hall pass? I don't have a hall pass. I only love my wife and I only have eyes for my wife. What about Sidney's Sweeney? She's been in the news. You ever? I don't like her politics.

I did watch a chive A video of her being interviewed by the shy I just said this and you said No one's gonna stop me from being horny for anyone I said nobody can't stop me Yeah Well it sounds like you stopped yourself You and she

My wife told me I'm not allowed to be horny for celebrities Is that true? No So your wife did tell you you're not to be So okay What's celebrity? Just say it Just say who it's not being embarrassed by

Let me think I'm trying to think of someone who's like Who I found really attractive. It's hard for me to... Oh, sorry? It's hard for me to think of that. Because I know, I just...

Let's just go down a list. Get me in trouble. Let's just go down a list of sexy celebs and you say if they're sexy or not. Monica Balucci. Who's that? Come on. Come on. Let me Google her.

What the fuck? Jennifer Amistam. You know what? Oh, hello. Well, Brian has a membership card. Me being really... Oh, Pamela Anderson. All right.

Heather Locklear. Ghostbusters answer the call wins big at the kid's choice award. The world's most downloaded woman. You're saying she's good enough for all of us. Yeah. It was a different person. I personally don't mind the puppies on Sable. Ghostbusters answer the call, which is the name of Ghostbusters 2016.

I don't think you guys name of that. I will let you know. So I don't like that they did that. That might have been the working title. I don't know that that's like after the fact. That's like how they changed Edge of Tomorrow to, live dive repeat or whatever it was. I always call it edge of tomorrow.

I think the edge of tomorrow one was it did have two separate names. Like that was a little different, I think. But I think they have since changed the title of it like for like subsequent like home media releases. But I watched Ghostbusters 2016 last night opening title. Ghostbusters. That's it. It's just Ghostbusters.

No. They added that later. It wasn't added. It did win big at the Kids Choice Awards in 2016. Guy goes adults, many of whom still fondly remember the 1984 classic only partially embraced Paul Figgs's all-female Ghostbusters reboot. But the kid sure did. Did you say, episode?

Do you say rebuke? Yes, I did. Do you say rebuke? Because it was more of a rebuke of the original two movies, if you ask me. Well, he goes at Nickelodeon's 2017 Kids Choice Awards on Saturday night, the divisive film came away with a trio of orange blimps. The film itself won favorite movie over Rogue One and Marvel's yearly outings. that's crazy. Trio of Orange Blimps. What is this is a Trump family photo?

I was going to fucking say that. God. That is good. I wouldn't shut the fuck up so I couldn't say it. I could see JFF planning. I could see it. He keeps fucking talking and you can't say anything about that's a joke or something. God. You got to jump in. He has to read this stuff. Jesse. It's the basis of the whole thing. You know how you guys like you do your little kick starters or whatever? This is what we have to do. Otherwise we lose our podcast. Hey, why do you call the six pack anyway? They don't want to kill us. Somebody will kill us. We'll lose the podcast. Straight up. We stop reading these posts. We lose the podcast. Well, then maybe somebody else can move in and start doing it.

Don't, nope. Chris Hemsworth's portrayal of Kevin, the Ghostbusters, attractive dim winner reception has earned him a favorite movie actor. He was funny. He was funny in that.

He's funny in that. He's a very, I think he's a good actor and he's quite funny. I really do think that. I think so too, and he's hot. Oh, yeah.

And Melissa McCarthy, one favorite. Would Chris Hempworth be your, come on. What if he was your hall pass? He's not good enough for me. he's not good enough for you what do you mean you're insane what Liam Hemsworth is that who you want he's doing the eyebrow race thing yeah you're not gonna trap me into saying something that's because

I don't have to write energy field if I was 17 if I was fucking 17 I would tell you 18 attractive women right now we'll never give me an attractive number why did the number have to be more than your age that's strange so what is the relationship between those things I just my brain was an autopilot and sometimes when your brain's an audio audio audio audio it's sometimes when your brain's going autopilot autopilot you just in your mind you replace the actual real number with the word numbers and it just a number comes out what was the real number what I'm saying what I'm talking I do understand what he's saying there that does okay okay you tell me what he's saying because I understand what he's saying that like he's yeah his

frame goes on autopilot and he just thinks that he has to say a number. He doesn't actually think of the number. He's just like, okay, now a number comes here. And then so he just says, and the reason he said 18 there was because it was the next number after 17. I didn't realize that. That I'm

not going to. You didn't realize that? What did you think came after 17? Okay. Listen, listen, I feel like we're really, we're getting off with you. Listen, I love to you. Don't anyone else think they were kind of mean to Brian on this episode? Why don't they let Brian talk about his post more.

The thing is he prepped so hard to talk about on the fucking show. Desi, are you reading the Redd? What's going on? I'm searching my name on that subreddit every fucking day. I love it. As a grade school teacher,

I can say with the utmost authority, Brian actually froze. Oh, Brian actually says, okay, Brian, you completely froze there. We lost you. You were completely gone. We didn't hear what you just said. Well, he said, as a grade school teacher,

I can say with the utmost authority, Kids routinely make terrible decision. Oh, this is, this is crazy. So this is what I thought to myself. I was like, because this is obviously it's kids movie. Like, we know all this. It's the same with all those. Like, they're meant for kids first and foremost.

And so these are- There's some stuff for adults in there, though. I watched it last night. Yeah, there's a couple of things from there for daddy. I understand. Oh, yeah. I just, I feel like this was, I knew this was going to be the thing,

where it's like, they're so angry that the kids, who the movie was meant for, voted it as the best. movie of the year and we're like we love this and we think it's great that makes all these old nerds angry because they're like you guys don't know shit this movie's terrible like that is so fucking crazy to let me let me say this as well the kids choice awards is what they're talking about too that's what gets me the kids choice awards famously people get slimed there yeah you think there's not a connection between that and slimer and the ecoplasas they have a huge bias they're sort of tie in

they probably have to probably the award show has to contact ghost busters to even get all the Exactly. So like obviously they want. Yeah. They're like they obviously or they know the like slime reed, the dealer, like the wholesaler and stuff. And so they have to keep that relationship. Stefan, I appreciate that. Timeware. Timeware replied and he goes, do we know how the categories are set up for the kids choice awards? Not trying to rain on the parade here. But this is a show produced by Hollywood. How many movies were the kids offered? How did they tally the vote? How were the votes counted? They had voting online. Does anyone know if there was an organized social media effort to flood the website with non-child votes? Questions you have to ask. Yeah, I think it might be time for a full audit on this kid's choice awards vote. The voting machines were rigged. I really do I think there's a possibility. I mean, do we even know it was 2016?

Do these kids even get to see spotlight that year? I mean, that was a great movie. Did they even see it? Holy shit. That was a movie about kids too, right? The ending of spotlight, like the emotional impact of that. the way that that movie ends. Yeah, you got to, you got to, you got to just, just go over their head.

Like they just fucking did. Like, oh, yeah, like, oh, you think Ghostbusters better because of all the fucking ghosts and stuff. I really want which of spies, but I fought the weavenant was better that you. This guy goes, yeah. Well, Leo, I mean, that was his long deserved. Jesse, I assume you have a list of 2016 movies up in front of you right now. Yeah. Okay.

So can you, because that revenant, that. That was a good year for movies? I never saw that. Was there a normal movie? What else do we have? Can we run down a couple of 2016 films? Oh, I was looking at the nominees for Best Picture. Yeah, let's hear them.

Oh. Okay. I was busy doing politics stuff then because it was a big important election. Was it were you campaigning for your door knocking for the libertarian guy? Ron Paul. I think it's Gary. Gary something or Norris. I don't remember that.

Who's that guy? God damn. I can't remember his name, but I was, yeah, knocking doors for him. I was like, you guys like drugs? Spotlight, the big short, bridge of spies, Brooklyn, Mad Max, Fury Road, the Martian, the Revenant, and Room. Revenant, Martian. I like so many of those movies.

That was really. Well, I think, you haven't seen the Martian. The Martian is so good. It's good, yeah. I was a big fan of Marvin, the Martian. What were the other nominees for favorite movie at the Kids Choice Awards? That's a good. That's what they went up against.

This guy goes, I said from the beginning, this is what the detractors were truly worried about, that the new generation would enjoy this movie. Well, guys, the franchise- You're worried about that? Well, no, he's saying like, he's saying like, these fucking people that say the movie sucks. I see. They're just worried the kids will like this. I see.

You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, the future's all right, right? He goes, well, guys, the franchise has survived fans embracing Ghostbusters too, myself included. It will survive fans embracing answer the call. then he comes the other guy comes back and goes look at the wikipedia page there have been cases documented where adults either vote online or coerce their kids and they're voting what they want to vote for what plus a lot of these kids are actually dead if you look them up on the voter rolls

they're all these kids are yeah these the idea that yeah they're being influenced by their but why would that but so the parents liked it no they want I I that is that like that like Why is that an argument for your point? Leftist parents are being like, you got to, if it doesn't win at the kids' choice awards, and that's a tragedy for, I don't know, politics. Hang on now. It seems as a, why did I have a children? Oh, or why did I have children just to maybe to get fucking voting rights for the kids' choice awards?

Yeah, you age out at a certain. They want you voting for like a city comptroller or some shit at a certain point. I want to vote for best squishy moment. It's so he goes, people create multiple online accounts to do it. I don't care of kids like answer the call on their own. Parents have done this before. How do you trust voting tallies in Pizza Hut restaurants when the manager of the store can change votes at their leisure? Good point.

This reminds me of the big Pizza Hut scandal. So I think maybe that guy works at Pizza Hut or something and has this happened to them. Well, no, that's pizza. You can vote at Pizza Hut. Let me tell you something I did. The Choice Award for the kids. for the kids choice or you can vote for the kids choice hot and then so the manager they're saying but the manager is like submitting the number after anyway so if the manager is like a big wokester

then he could just be like oh yeah no we'll change all these to ghost plus well here's the problem it says starting in 2010 Canadians were allowed to vote for the kids choice of words yeah no we have we're fucked we have no idea up here here's something i can tell you that from you know little little behind the scenes on Nickelodeon voting stuff or audience participation stuff I remember when I was a kid, they did something called the big help. I remember that. The big help. No.

So the point of it was to get, maybe it was around Earth Day. Like kids would volunteer to like clean up or do stuff around the neighborhood and the environment and stuff like that. And you could call into the 1-800 number to pledge a certain number of hours. And if you pledge different numbers of hours, you would get different messages like on the voicemail machine from all of your favorite. Nickelodeon stars. So I would just keep calling back and putting different numbers in so I could hear from Kell Mitchell and Kenan Thompson and Lori Beth Denberg to, and ultimately I never did anything for my neighborhood or environment.

But I did get to hear all of the messages. So by the end of it when they say there's like 50,000 hours committed, you know, it's like a lot of those are just fake. I didn't do shit. Probably most of them. Probably most of them. If that is the system they have set up, I would say almost all of them are fake. They need to get some security on these Nickelodeon votes.

I'm going to say that right now. But look at the 20, it was 2017, Kids Choice Awards. Favorite movie, Ghostbusters. Favorite movie actor, Chris Hemsworth as Kevin Beckman in Ghostbusters. Favorite movie actress, Melissa McCarthy as Dr. Abigail Abby Yates in Ghostbusters. They swept the big three categories of the Kids Choice Awards. I would also say I love Chris Hemsworth in Ghostbusters. answer the call, he's more of a supporting actor, right?

Yeah, but they don't have the same rules. They don't do that choice. They're not like, they're not so. That's ridiculous. Yeah, they, you think it you need more screen time to be like nominated for that even. I think that just brings the whole awards show into question, like the, the integrity of it. The integrity of the Nickelodeon, um, kids choice awards. I mean, I don't know that Nicolode as he was, take on integrity.

As good as he was, do you really think he was better than Chris, Evans in Captain America Civil War, Robert Downey Jr. in Captain America Civil War, Henry Cavill in Batman versus Superman, Dawn of Justice. Ben Affleck in Batman versus Superman, Don of Justice, or Will Arnett in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles out of the shadows? I think he was actually, now that you mention it, because I mean, of the stuff I saw of that, I think none of the, Ben Affleck was very bad, I thought. Oh, yeah, but he was still like a main role, though, right? He can beat up Kevin. The best Batman is Ben Affleck. So anyway, This guy goes the idea that, and I'm serious, I'm not even like,

the idea that a lot of children are straight up stupid. That's dumbest. That's the dumbest opinion. He looks more like Batman to me. And I never read the comics and Robert Pattinson's better than him. I never read the comics or anything. I'm not saying that like it's just, oh, yeah, Ben Affleck looks like what I would think Batman would look like.

You're going to get kicked out of the Columbus Justice League at this rate, my man. Well, you're not careful with all these kind of. The idea that a lot of children were introduced to Ghostbusters through Ghostbusters answer the call is advice. Brian has to walk through the Legion of Doom headquarters to take a ship. I quit going there. Okay. To the convention center.

Your picture's on the front of the Legion of Duke. They kick me out like three more times and I was like, I'm not going there anymore. It's like, he's honestly, he was like a month away from his pitcher being up. That's not a lie. Like they were literally like coming up to him regularly and being like, hey, you are like freaking out our clients. three times. Because of the stairs stuff

walking up the down the stairs or the shit. Most of the time they were cool with it. Like, I think I don't do it. Like he's exercise. Right.

He doesn't look like he's exercising. Right. He's not like dressed and exercise stuff. He's not like moving like, he's wearing a trench coat. Yeah, he's just wearing like, he's wearing whatever he normally wears.

And he's just kind of like, I only wear. He's kind of moping on my wife. Dressed like Kevin Smith walking around. Yeah. I'll show you how I mope kind of vibes. You got your hands in your pocket. You got your pocket.

Yeah, exactly. He just looks suspicious. Brian, you told me that it got to the point where the security guard was coming up to you and saying bend over and he had to put a finger on your butthole to see if there was a turd about to come out. And if there wasn't, then he would then he would ask you to leave because you were just there loitering. They thought I was cool. The security guys thought I was cool. He said, ew, I got a little poop on my finger. Okay, you can go to the bathroom.

But make sure that you really go this time and don't just go in there and smoke cigarettes. let's answer this question from the subreddit. How do the Ghostbusters work? I assume they'd have to run on a 24-7 basis. So when they have downtime, do they just have to drop everything to answer a call? What if they're all out? I've never even thought about how this works in real life. Well, that's interesting.

Maybe you should give it. What if they're all out? How do they know if there's an emergency? I mean, we see it in the movie. They're like sleeping in the fire. Firehouse. Yeah. This guy looking,

watching the movie going, huh, they're in some kind of empty building. I wonder what it is. He has no idea what anything related to fire houses are.

Okay. Yeah. The idea is, I think that like, there's not that many ghosts, right? So it's not like, well,

I wish I could believe that. Yeah. But there's not like, there's too many ghosts. If they're not ghosts, then it's whatever. They get, they'll get a call in there.

Like, five of them is enough, right? Like in most of them, that's enough to cover all the ghost calls. Right? I don't think so. Has it ever gotten, I'm sure it's been covered at some point where they're like, so they're slammed and they got too many ghost calls. Well, it usually happens at the end of every movie is the big climax of all the ghostbusters movies is there's like, there's a thousand ghosts at once. Yeah, they got to kill all the same place. It's not like, oh no, we got a call over there, call over there, call over there. Oh, we got nine calls. See, that would be sort of interesting where they're like, we need to hire more Ghostbusters movie. That is what I'm talking about. Or we need to prioritize calls. Like maybe we start to, you know, like that's, it becomes, yeah. And then, They get into politics. Sort of a commentary maybe on social commentary.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, see, for that to work, you would need an intelligent secretary, but as we know, Kevin Beckman was just not up to the task in Ghostbusters 2016,

was it? Yeah, that's the issue you think probably. He was a little bit. He's kind of a blonde moment. It does say you can see Janine booking appointments in the movie. She books them months in advance sometimes. Yep.

Yeah, because some of the ghosts aren't like necessarily threatening. They're not dangerous. They just eat hot dogs. Yeah. Okay. because that seems that seems odd like if i had a ghost i and they're like it will come out in two months i'd be like i might try somewhere else i wonder where well who you're going to call it's a good point

that's what they mean when they say who you're going to call it's like so this is and this is this shows you why we have anti-monopalization laws right boys and girls because this is when you're coming an issue and this is why the ghostbusters are able to just fucking rake people over the coals and just make so much bank off of this guy this guy goes as much as I love this franchise the business is just unsustainable with only four people oh that's just what we're talking about yeah and then this guy replies he goes not necessarily we have no idea how often calls come in there may be busier times than others slow days months etc it's not really addressed on screen what are they charging also you know yeah they don't well why don't we

ever he goes it kind of we see them going to the wash room or eating ever you know right 24 they show 24 you're always like well this guy didn't take a pistol one thing I think Ghostbusters as like a franchise as a mythos actually did do right is they hint at all of like the science or pseudoscience behind it without actually explaining any of it like they didn't do the John Wick thing where they were like now we're going to explain what all the different classifications or ghosts are and then we'll make a whole movie about that but it also feels like something that the Ghostbusters fanatic would latch on to and then start wondering like if Slimer is a class for a goo monster that I wonder what the other class one, two, and threes are. Is there anything about that, Ryan? A lot of there. I mean, there's so much arguing about what ghosts are, what they do, how the business works. This guy goes, it's kind of addressed on screen, though, like the quote says.

They couldn't get to whoever was on the phone trying to book an appointment until the new year. Somehow, I don't think it's going to be the beginning of January. And that I don't even understand. Well, he's just saying, like, you know, They said we won't be able to get to you until the beginning of the year. They probably got New Year's off. Yeah. And maybe they show up, I mean, March is still the beginning of year.

Yeah, you hear New Year and you're like January 1st. It could be, you know. I mean, that's somebody blowing you off if they say it like that. They got to be available on New Year's. They can't take New Year's off because as soon as they start taking a day off, the ghosts figure that out, then they're doing that thing. Well, that's true because the first day you would think of taking off is probably Christmas, but we all know what happens with ghosts around Christmas time, right?

Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh. Oh, if Scrooge had the Ghostbusters, I mean, that'd be a whole different story. He wouldn't have to learn no lessons. Yeah, he would still be a rich guy. I guess he's still rich after. That would be such a cool, cool movie.

That would be a really cool movie. I'm thinking Ryan Reynolds for this, maybe Kevin Hart. What do you think? Ryan Reynolds. We love Ryan Reynolds. Oh, you know what? I just searched Scrooge Ghostbusters, and there was an episode of the Ghostbusters cartoon with Scrooge.

They killed all the ghosts. They kill Scrooge. Oh, they kill Scrooge too. Yeah, they kill everybody. They're like, we're gonna fucking kill everything. Let's just kill everything. Yeah. Yeah.

This guy goes, this is a post this guy made. I love posts. These are, I love these kind of posts, right? He goes, I love. Realizing Ghostbusters answer the call was bad, was a bad movie. He made me feel like I was betraying something I love. Ghostbusters. And somebody in there.

Got it. Yeah. As someone who has genuinely loved every Ghostbusters project released thus far from the original to the real Ghostbusters to Ghostbusters to, to, I don't know what EGE Ghostbusters is. What's it E? I don't know.

And to 2009 video game. Oh, extreme ghostbusters. What's extreme? Is that like a porno thing? Let me see. Maybe it is. Oh, no,

it was a cartoon as well. You never said who the marshmallow man was fucking. No, it was it was, it was, it was Daphne from. Oh, oh, okay. Yeah. If you click on the link, it's in the, it's in the, it's in the, I was kind of picturing, I was kind of picturing the Michelin man. I just kind of picture him, picturing him fucking, uh, Melnitz and then all the, the four Ghostbusters walk in, they go, what the hell's going on? You better wait, give us our turn. Did you say the Michelin Man? Yeah, that's what he looks like. It was supposed to be. I, I, now I'm picturing the Michelin man and, and the marshmallow man tongue kiss.

Oh yeah Yeah they're sitting on each other's laps And they're dual stroking Yeah Oh I like that That's interesting isn't it Let's uh I'm not gonna look at it

Oh you know what okay no wait a second Here I'm gonna send you guys this one This makes a lot of sense I just want to be clear by the way Is fucking the statue I don't know where he's posting or sending these I'm not clicking on any of these things In the chat in the call

I'm not looking at the way to do my job Brian can you can you click on the I'm trying to do my job here. This is your job. Okay, I looked at it. I looked at it. It's the, here, I'll show it. I don't care.

What are they going to do? What are they going to do? That's the state puff marshmallow man having sex. Oh my God, he's coming. He already came to. Well, that might be. Statue of Liberty. Is he?

Yeah, I guess that's come. Yeah. There's a thing at that bottom that just says, Ard, not again. Like, it's happened before, you know. Man, if I lived in New York and I saw that, I'd be looking out the window. beaten my shit. That's for sure.

Watching answer the call was like a punch in the gut. I knew there was trouble from that infamous first trailer, but trailers aren't the finished movie. This was Ghostbusters. That's true, by the way. Paul Feig, he knew how to make comedies. His resume is outstanding. I still can remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach when I realized that this is going to be a rough ride. This wasn't the dry wit done in the wide shots of Ivan Reitman. everything was choppy and cut the pieces. The opening scene got no laughs.

The dry wit, by the way? Yeah. Like the ghost, the ghost blowjob scene or the scene where he's like, this guy doesn't have a penis. Yeah, that's funny. That's dry. That's pretty dry.

Yeah. Well, I'll tell you, when Slammer barfs all over, one of the Ghostbusters. Yeah, or when the Michelin Man starts sucking the Statue of Liberty and a dry seat in the house. They wanted to do the Michelin Man,

so I'm going to let that slide. That's actually fine. It's fine. I'm thinking it was so weird, like back then these, these like, these advert, like they were like, can we use the Michelin Man? And they're like, absolutely not. The Michelin Man's going to come and destroy New York. What would that do to our brand? They wouldn't like that, yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to use that anymore because of the movie where the Michelin Man, anyway, he goes, I still can remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach. Everything was choppy cut. The original didn't get any laughs, either most likely.

but it also wasn't trying to be funny. Anyway, I mentioned this to say, I felt bad. I didn't like something Ghostbusters. And it's not just any small thing. This wasn't a game or a cartoon. It was a movie. The movie. The first since 89.

And not only did I not like it, I like nothing about it. I felt like I was being betraying someone. I loved by disliking it. Seriously, I was angry at myself for not being able to just let it go and enjoy it. Sounds really healthy. It sounds like a healthy relationship with the. Yeah, sounds like you found your love and your passion,

and it's making, it's enriching your life. I was mad at Bill Murray. Because you didn't like. Wait, he was mad at Bill Murray. Well, because Bill Murray has a cameo in it. Yeah, I was mad at Bill Murray for dragging his feet so long to allow this travesty to happen. What's also weird is, I was worried. What if this movie is loved by audience?

Is this what Ghostbusters will be now? Something I don't like? Which isn't a good place to be in. Oh my God. He's catastrophizing about the future of the franchise. That's scary. But that's also like, oh man, that's really kind of a sad thing to hear somebody just say it so plainly like that to just be like, yeah, wait, am I going to start making

this thing that I don't like now? And they made a note of the fact that 17 years apart. So presumably you were probably. Well, more than that, 27 years apart. Wait, when was it? Because it was 1989 to 2016. So holy shit. So you were a child when it came out before and you loved.

loved it because it's a children's movie. And then you grew up and now you're watching it as an adult and you're like, hey, I don't like this anymore. Is this what's going to happen now with things? Yeah, coming to terms with the fact that you don't like stuff you liked as a child now. Yeah.

That's tough for anybody. I can't. I don't enjoy the food fighters anymore. And I used to really love them when I was a child. I love their music and, you know, but that's just how life goes. Well,

you like their political activism. I don't know what their politics are, but they probably are good, right? No. They're not. Are you serious? That is actually shocking. There's one specifically very bad thing.

They don't believe in AIDS. Yeah, they don't. Oh, oh, what? Yeah, it's bad. What the hell? It's as bad as you can think, right? That's one of the worst type of politics I've ever heard. Wait, how could you find, how could you, that's, I got to look into this one.

They gave interviews where they talked about it. Yeah, then they still do. They're still like, yeah, we still think that. Which isn't a play. The whole band together. How did they come to a consensus over something so. Well, when you have similar beliefs, you know, you just like, kind of. I just, I would imagine that might like cause some division in the band.

Like, everyone just kind of agrees. Yeah, no, definitely AIDS. But it's like us, right? Like, here's four guys on the call right here. We've worked together for years. We're friends and we talk and stuff like that. And I think we can go around now. We all say, I believe in AIDS.

Yeah. I do. I believe in AIDS. Did you, Chris, did you not hear their AIDS denialist version of the, there goes my hero song? AIDS is. It wasn't real. Oh. That was good.

I'm going to give him credit for that one. I'm going to have to assume Stefan's doing one of his signature jokes here, but the thing is real about them actually. Some of the stuff we've said in the last 30 seconds is real and some of it is not real. It's not you to figure it out. But the AIDS thing is fully real. That's the world that nowadays is real. You hear a bunch of stuff and then you got to spend the rest of the days figuring out

if it was real or not. I will say about this guy, Brian, I know he sounds crazy, but I am sympathetic with what he's saying about one thing. Ghostbusters 2016 is like, it's really choppy. Like, it got to the point where I was looking around for Charlton Copley.

What are you talking about? That's how choppy it was. Well, it was choppy for me watching on producer dance Plex last night, I'll tell you that much. Oh, he's not going to like to hear that.

Which isn't a, it's not a good place to be in. I don't want to actively wish people not like something so I can feel like I'm right, but this was Ghostbusters. Was this how Star Wars fans felt during the prequel area? Yep.

Yes. Christmas came and Holy crap I didn't ask for a single piece of Ghostbusters merch. I did not for Christmas. How old are you? How old are you? You ask for, you ask for presents?

Every year. I would love a piece of Ghostbusters. I like a Ghostbusters toy. I guess maybe I will, but usually what will happen is the people who buy me gifts. I'll say that we don't do a lot of gifts, but I'm thinking like my mom, you know, not my dad anymore.

Thanks for bringing that up, everyone. these pastelites. We can't buy me gifts. But my mom will ask me, what would you like for your birthday? Is there something you'd like or whatever? Right. I don't really like. I think.

Yeah, I know. But I just, yeah, I wonder what kind of like what age this person is. You figure they have to be at least 27, right? I think they're probably 40. When Ghostbusters 2 came out and then. Yeah. I would say they're 40. I believe they're 40 to 45.

That's what I believe. This is the first time I'm hearing that dead dads don't give Christmas gifts. So I'm just kind of wondering what it... Well, hang on a second. What have I been opening under the tree that says from dad these last 20 years? I just realized. I have my stepmom who shared finances with my dad and she got me a birthday present.

Okay. Same exact birthday present that my dad would get for me before he died. Ghostbusters related? It was a gift card to a place where I like to shop. It was a ghost buster's gift card. Hey, it was pretty close to my dad actually. still getting me again. It's just as good.com. Listen, they don't ask a question

at Arcterics. They're not like, hang on, guy who got this for you, he's still alive. No, no, they just hand them their merchandise. They cash that shit right there. Yeah, it works. It works all the same. His money still spends. I did not foresee that. Not the Blu-ray, not the extended cut. I envied all those who liked

this movie so much. And even though I didn't ask for the movie, friends and family knew me so well it was gifted to me. I watched it again and again. Then the extended cut and it went from passively disliking the movie to starting to hate it. Oh my god. This is, this is.

So they hated. They're like, this isn't a good movie. And then everyone got them the movie because like, hey, you're going to love this movie. You love Ghostbusters. Oh, it's Ghostbusters. So then they kept watching it over and over again to get more angry at it. That's what seems like.

I don't watch movies I like two times. I can't imagine watching something I don't like two times. I watched Friendship twice. I've mentioned that. I watched that back to back because I wanted to watch it in a theater with other people laughing. And that was a really good experience. And I loved it so much. But I'm the same.

I very rarely will watch even a movie I love twice in a row. Imagine this guys have watched this at least three times. What about you guys? I don't, not twice in a row, but just twice in general. I took my parents to see friendship and my dad liked it. And my mom was almost crying because she felt so bad for Tim Robinson's character. I see. Yeah.

I've met your parents and that does make sense. that does make. Jesse, do you rewatch movies? Are you a movie rewatcher? Well, my dad's dead, so I can't take him to go see a movie. Thanks for bringing that up. Do I watch movies over? I wouldn't say over and over. My wife is a big movie rewatcher. Okay. And I think I will watch, yeah, some things I think, I guess I'm more like to watch a movie at home after I saw it in theaters. Oh, yeah. That I am to watch things at home. I'm going to watch one battle after another at home. I saw that twice in theaters. Yeah, I watched it once in theaters.

I'll watch it again. More than once in the theater is so hard for me to understand because it costs the same amount of money every time. So that's why I would never do it. For a comedy movie, like for a comedy movie I wanted to go right away early on so with other people who love Tim Robinson.

Like minded people who are like, hey, I'm so excited to watch this movie. So the theaters were sold out when I went and watched it. Oh, I would never see movies if that was the case. Yeah. And it was like, it was genuinely one of my favorite movie going experience. I went to a sneak preview of it where it was like the biggest Tim Robinson fans

like me and it was just like people were going fucking crazy like it was like i've never experienced something like that at a movie and i was like i want to get close to that if i can go to something that's even half of what that was it was like such a fun experience so that's why i did it uh sounds horrible yeah i i only see it once i didn't think if i saw it again i'd probably laugh but does this is off a quora does the younger generation today know about ghost busters yes Craig answers and he says, oh yes, indeed, far more than math, science, philosophy, literature, government, civics, geography, or any of the previous educational disciplines. But this is an old franchise. So you're trying to do the thing where you're like kids nowadays, but kids are way more into star or... I can't tell if he thinks that's good or bad.

Yeah. What is he... What is his whole angle? But they have new movies out. So the kids would know them in that way that there's like a famous kind of movie that's out that's sort of meant for kids. Yeah. I know it better than fucking philosophy. I don't tell you that right now. That's probably true. I know, but that's like philosophers. When you're a child, you're not really into philosophy so much. I couldn't get into it when I was an adult.

Depends on what you mean by that, you know? Like a lot of kids might understand basic concepts like, I don't know, like ethics or religion. A lot of those things are. Yeah, but they're not going to be as interested in those concepts as they are with, you know, the Ghostbusters. Okay, you're saying that because you haven't seen the most recent two Ghostbusters movies. Yeah. Yeah. They are a lot less fun than reading like Kant.

Yeah. They're not good. Angles. I will say, I will say like the most embarrassing thing that happened to me in college. Oh my God. I mean, this is going to be a huge list. No, it's not that crazy. This is going to be the most insane thing I've ever heard in my entire life, right?

No, no, no, no. Because I was fucking 37 when I was doing. Oh, that's true. He went to college late and it was when he was like just a nice guy like he is now. I didn't I didn't I didn't major in advertising like I had originally plan when Queber signed up. Kreber was going to get into advertising. But yeah, Brian knew better.

Brian went to political science. So I'm taking these classes. I take this philosophy class. And I'm like reading it. I don't understand anything. It's an online class. I'm reading it. I don't understand a.

fucking thing any of it. And I go to take a test and I'm like, well, the very least I can do multiple choice. It's a multiple choice test. I'll just guess maybe I'll get a lot of them right. What college was this? This was a the community college at that time I was at. Ghostbusters University. This was an Ohio State. This was this was Ohio State. Ohio State was later. This was Columbus State, which is, uh, so I get in there and I sit down and it's essay questions. What I should have done is got up and fucking left, but I wrote essays. Oh my God. I don't even know what's on those things, but there were long essays.

And it was me just guessing what Socrates was taught. I was like, oh. Well, this is like, what's the, it'll, they would like ask you a question. I would just write. I don't even know what I wrote. I wish I could get my hands back on those steps. Oh, I need to read these so bad. I was so, I was, I couldn't have been, because I was good at writing.

This guy writing. When Socrates was 17, he had eight. different girls who live 19 miles away. I seriously, I didn't know a single answer to any of the questions and I answered every single one of them.

And it's like in my mind, I think at the time I was like, maybe I'll get some of it right. You don't fucking know. Yeah. You did poorly. I got a, I think I got,

you got kicked out of school. I got the worst grade. I got the worst grade I got in college. And it was bad. Because I mean, that was the only class. Statistics was a little tough. I got like a B minus average and that, but mostly everything up through Ohio State and stuff. I was.

But the philosophy thing just didn't click. That's like, yes. I don't understand any of it. That for like everyone has something like that where it's just like, hey, fancy myself okay. And I seem to get what's going on in life. And then something, you just can't wrap your head around at all. But if you're in college now, don't write essay. Just get up and leave.

I was in high school. That's not good. That's not good. That's not good. I mean, if you're not in the answer, of course. What are you going to do? Oh, yeah, don't waste your time. If it's an essay question, you literally don't know any of the answers.

I mean, don't show up probably. Try to figure out something with the school. I thought it was going to get my money back for this, maybe or something. You shouldn't think that your exams in college will be multiple choice. That's another thing. Maybe that'll start there. There were probably. Yeah, multiple choice is more of a, yeah, more of a school, high school kind of thing.

I do so good on multiple choice. Like, I have absolutely brilliant at multiple choice. if I don't know. People like that are just so good. People who think this like this is such a delusional way to think. Like you've convinced yourself you've gotten a couple answers right a few times or whatever. But there's just no way.

I was good at trivia because there's multiple choice like that. And my, all my friends. Your trivia was multiple choice. Yeah. And all my friends and my family. It's not fucking just not even trivia. He doesn't even.

Yeah. The trivia. Like he doesn't practice. Last time we were on, J.F. We did the whole. We talked about it was like. like analog they didn't even have the computer system set up.

Well, no, he was cheating, of course. I know he was cheating, but I didn't know it was multiple choice. Well, yeah, all trivia is multiple choice. No, it is not. That's the crazy that I've never done. Most trivia is not multiple choice. Most of it is like name five songs that you do this or name this song and they play it for you or like what is this question?

You have to say the answer to write it down on a piece of paper and write it down. And then you don't mark your own like you do. you fucking somebody else. I only got once. Yeah, when you were cheating. I'm saying that everybody when they would ask a question and they didn't know the answer,

they're like, Brian, go for it because they respected my ability to answer multiple choice questions, even if I don't know the answer. Because I'm good at the process of elimination. Maybe you weren't participating so much in the answering and they wanted to make you feel like you're a part of it.

That's not fair. I answer mostly quick. They all think I'm like the smartest guy. No, you are, I want to, I want to like pull back a little. Brian, I think, because I've talked to Katie about it and stuff too, but I think Brian is actually pretty good at trivia. There are like, there's stuff that he knows a lot about. And he is, he is pretty decent at trivia. But I don't think he's like. Well, and they give you four. I'm saying. He's never legitimately one. That's a lie. But he is. No, I didn't legitimately win. And it's called process of elimination. If you know a little bit about something, you can eliminate till you're down the one. That's how I do. But anyway, this guy asks. You don't get to just move on. You don't just keep talking. I wasn't done talking yet, Brian.

You don't get to move the show for. Well, he does. He gets to it. It's all multiple choice. We have a thing. It's what I'm saying. You guys keep changing the rules on this fucking show. It doesn't make any sense to me.

We have an insane amount of rules on here. It sounds like we don't know what's going on. Now it's no more flubs. It's okay to say the wrong stuff. I don't know anymore, man. No, no. For you, it's okay. What's an honest mistake when you do it.

If you or I say something incorrect, it's known as an honest mistake. We move on. don't cause a big stir about it. If Brian does it, then we deal with it, you know, accordingly. Brian said audio pilot earlier. Yeah, like, we'll deal with that. People will make signs of it. People will make fun of them.

They'll call him. They'll find his phone number. I'm glad to hear some things haven't changed around here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we're not very corporate. We've gone very corporate. We've sold out. We, you know, we're doing a lot of our stuff as AI now.

Does anybody else think that their guys hosts have kind of sold out a little bit ever since their big live show the other day with John Gameres. Oh, get out of here. We didn't sell out. A lot of people said that. We're using a lot of AI now, a lot of AI. What would the Ghostbusters do if they met Danny Phantom?

Is it Danny Phantom or Danny Fandom? Danny Phantom. And I had to Google Danny Phantom. Wait, was it Danny Phantom or Danny Femdom? I know. Oh, hello. Somebody searched that up. Hang on.

Somebody search that up. Y'all do it. Fuck it. I'll do it. I'll do it. You guys go ahead. I know Danny. Fandom. He's like another, you know, he's like a kid's cartoon character, whatever. He's a ghost.

You think he could beat Ghostbusters? I don't know about beating them. Is that what they're asking? I think they're saying, like, what would they do? Would they be friends, maybe? Well, luckily, this guy answered, Simon says, uh, well, and he's a Sigma male. So we know he's right. Sigma, INFJ. So he's good. Well, I may be biased as I've shown my disdain to Danny Phantom and my love for Ghostbusters. and he had, I believe he has shown his distinct. I'll think of it in a different way. And now he's going to do a little script here. Egon.

That's weird. My PKE meter seems to be playing up. Winston, what the hell are you talking about? You're never wrong. You're never wrong with that thing. Brian, can you put the script up on the screen for us and we can read it? I mean, are there only like three lines? It's very short.

Okay. No, never, he goes. And by the way, Chris, look up the movie. the other side of AIDS. That is where they, uh, foo fighters are around. Why did you just remember that now?

Why did you bring that? Well, I just googled it. I googled while I clicked the link. You were Googling an AIDS denialist movie while reading a script about Ghostbusters and Danny Phantom at the same time. Oh shit. He left. He left the fucking call.

Stefan, I told you if you pushed him too hard, he would leave and he left. Brian, why did you leave? Brian. I got mad. I'm trying to talk about Danny Phantom here.

No, I just, I hit back because I wanted to see what I was searching for. And I clicked over on one of my open tabs and it said AIDS foo fighter. So I was like, oh, I'll click that tab that I had already searched and didn't look at answer. Anyway,

Winston, what the hell are you talking about? You're never wrong with that thing. Vankman. Don't tell me you program that thing to feel love again, Egon. Ray, come on, guys.

I'm starting to get nervous. Danny. Hey, I'm Danny Phantom. Okay. That's good. That's a good lie. That's how you know it's the character. Uh-huh.

All Ghostbusters together. Oh, right. So it was a ghost. And that's a script. So he wrote that. Oh, right. So it was a ghost. Yeah, that's pretty good.

That's what would happen, I think. Yeah. I had to go to Rotten Tomatoes. We got to read a few reviews from Rotten Tomatoes, British. I am looking at the, I'm looking at some of this stuff, this document. the other side of AIDS and it

it seems as if it's a bit of a spicy documentary in that it was written and directed by Robin Scoville. Just trying to keep a little bit of levity here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In all seriousness, this is really horrifying

and horrible and the story behind it and the reason it became famous I'm not going to get into is really, really horrible and really shocking and I am genuinely taken back. The food fighters. You would have missed this question on trivia night.

If the trivia question was, which of the following bands is comprised chiefly of AIDS denialists? And it was like, A, blues traveler, B, Rolling Stone, C, corn. Brian, are there three answers or four? How many choices do you get? Four, that's a multiple choices of four.

So is three. Three is multiple choices. That's not true. We just don't know. Nobody would ever do that. We've never been to one of these kind of weird trivia notes. They don't go to them anymore either.

Yeah, because you're not allowed you because you cheated last time. No, the food's bad. We just were like the food's bad. We can't do this anymore. You were going to trivia night for the food? Well, yeah. I don't care. Yeah, I won't ever come back because I ate the food.

It's disgusting. Being dragged out of the Wi-Fi, the network closet. I hated the food there. Chris, you know, do you have those things in Vancouver where it's like, it's not a daycare? It's more like a night care. like drop your kid off here and you can go on a date with the misses and we'll watch them for a couple hours they'll play or whatever. I mean,

we might. We don't. Can you, uh, we send me some reference? I've never done it. We have daycare. So, you know,

it's just standard daycare or whatever. But no, I've never, I don't, I don't, I haven't heard of that idea. It's like, whatever.

It makes, you know, whatever. It makes total sense. I've never done it myself. But yeah, like, yeah, I just, yeah,

we just haven't. But I know people who have or whatever. They'll have like, you know, the Xbox set up or have a little play jungle gym or something like that reading area homework area if they're a little bit older that kind of stuff yeah just kind of feels like sometimes that's where Brian goes when he has these sort of these different experiences that don't line up necessarily with what the rest of us understood to be happening Brian has sort of hey you guys ever you

you guys ever know when you go to the store there's that big ball pit in the middle of it and you can play around the ball pit you know you just I don't have one you just unlock something crazy in my brain because when I was 19 years old, I worked at Kroger at grocery. I remember that. And I tried to fight my boss. That was the end. That was like at the end. But this is in the middle. That was at the end. Okay. When I quit, I was like, I'm going to fuck this guy up and went in and got dragged out. He would have beat the food here sucks. He would have beat the shit out. He would have beat me up so badly. Yeah, you were like a scrawny little kid. Yeah, but Sean was with me.

So anyway, uh, there was a thing called Pepe's playhouse. Pepe was like their little penguin, uh, mascot. And you could just drop your kids off at a little spot in a grocery store and they could play their games and stuff. And every once in a while, they'd put me in charge of that for a whole shift. And it's like, now when I think about it, it's like, it's like, I can't even believe somebody dropped their kids off with me. I mean, I'm standing. It's actually crazy how many times you were like so pilled out and,

and in charge of children. I know, two times at least like the two different jobs. The two different jobs. Chuckie cheese as well, obviously. Well, you were,

kid check there. You were there to make sure that someone wasn't getting abducted. Yeah, but I mean, come on. I'm 16. Yeah, yeah, yeah. that's what I'm saying. It's like the amount of times where you were like, you were like in charge of children's safety.

And yet you were so, so like you were just the worst person at the. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't put my kid in a pin with me at the grocery store at all. No. Just because I see me irresponsible. Yeah. I have that at IKEA too, but I don't, I don't think that respect with respect. I don't think Brian could get a job at IKEA. Just respectfully, I'll say, I don't. don't think IKEA. He wouldn't be able to do that work, but he could get a job. I go to IKEA and Vancouver all the time. They're all kind of guys. Look, like, but bring out my furniture sometimes. If I got some furniture on the thing, they'll bring it out.

They're nice. They're just kind of cool, dude. Are they Brian guys, though? Yeah, they are. I said there's Brian Coda guys. There's Brian Cota guys for sure, but they are mostly, please don't take this wrong way, Brian, working in the back. Yeah, I always was a guy that worked in the back,

except for the Chucky Cheese thing when they put me in the front. Brian's got a back of house demeanor. You don't seem like you want to be like engaging with, which is the truth. You don't. You don't want to be engaging with people and having conversation and stuff like that. That's the thing with it's weird. It's one of the most important skills when it comes to being on a trivia team is like engaging with the other people and kind of determining. He does his own thing on the trivia.

It's like he thinks himself as like a one man. He looks on his phone for the answers. No, I don't. So we do need to read some rotten tomatoes. to the shudder again and they believe them. And they believe them. Ghostbusters 1984.

This guy gives it five stars. Ghostbusters rules. Excellent pacing, perfect length. Editing was lacking. Great ending epic cast. I love that he understands editing. Editing was lacking?

Yeah, I don't know what editors do. I wouldn't be able to watch a movie. Yeah, we've heard the show. Thank you. I He edited though That's rude

What you just said About Chris Not me This guy goes Five stars One of the best Best movies Ever made

The formula was Comedy In the face of scary slash spooky And they haven't been able to repeat it since If you want Ghostbusters to continue

Make the next one Dark and scary And let the Ghostbusters Make the jokes Yeah Gritty We need a gritty

One And believe me A lot Gritty does kind of feel A little Slimer-Code Like he could be

in Ghostbusters. But you know what I meant, Stefan. And it actually sucks that I think every time you're on, for some reason I have to mention something. Yeah, you fucking bring up pretty every time. I was just listening to this the other day. He did it on the last one. It's a very important descriptive word that I use.

And I think it's very applicable. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? I'm picturing this. There's like, okay, let's say Ghostbusters moved to Philadelphia. And there's a ghost haunting the Wells Fargo Arena or whatever. We're going to sub. What do they have there?

Cheese steak. Cheese steak. There could be a scene where they're getting a cheesecake. Water ice. They got water ice. But they go to the Flyers game because there's apparently a ghost there. And they see Gritty. And they're like, that's the ghost.

And they like kill him with the proton packs. No, that wasn't the ghost. That was our mascot. I don't think they should kill him. I think they should beat him up really bad. And he gets like flung around with the proton pack. And then his head falls off. And inside is Kevin Hart.

And he goes, what the hell were you guys doing? I was just trying to be the Gritty at the game. That's just gritty. He's your favorite guy. I don't feel like he gets enough work. Hey, shut out. Hey, shout out everybody. Make sure if you are going to clip something out of this episode, clip out Jesse's Kevin Hart.

I'm Kevin Hart. That was a good Kevin Hart. All of a sudden, not looking so bad. They bring everyone together because they were never scared. They just kept cracking jokes in the face of fear. That was the secret to the success. that guy. I do, I don't think that's totally wrong as like dumb as it is. I don't know that it would be successful again, but I do think that was kind of the formula in the first one was that it was like

for children. It was a little scary for children, right? That it was like kind of the whatever, but it was. There is some, like the dog statues were kind of scary, you know? Yeah. And I just feel like it was, and the humor, it was, I mean, it had Dan Aykroy and Bill Murray. Like these, those guys are legitimately very funny. Bill Murray. He's good. I mean, Bill Murray was funny. man, you know, we can, whatever. He's on the chive now and everything. And who knows what he's up to in his old age. But he was, he was, he was fucking funny.

The original Ghostbusters is not funny. It isn't. It's not funny. I'm not saying it's not trying to be funny. I'm saying watching it now, it is not funny. Okay, I'm going to watch it now, honestly, because I, I, again, but is it, it's just childish humor? It's meant, like, it's just stupid.

It's not. There's no such thing as ghosts. Well, we don't know that for a fact. We don't know because they've never been trapped. Ghostbusters, too, reviews. you. Mike gives it five stars and he says the Ghostbusters have done it again. That's D. A.D. says, I love it more than the first one. I mean, Vigo was a good villain. The River of

slime. Slym? Come on. Classic. Splime. Yeah, I feel I don't remember them enough. Like, I remember the big characters and stuff. But like, I just imagine how is Bill Murray not funny in it? Isn't he always funny? Like he doesn't even make you laugh at all. He's like a prick. He's just an asshole. It's not like, it doesn't read as funny unless you, unless you never got sick of like the Bill Murray Chevy Chase.

And then Craig Kilbourne. Like the guy who's just, who's only a fucking asshole all the time doesn't have like another gear to it at all. It's just that. And I don't think that's. I don't like a lot of Bill Murray's work. I don't like any of it. What do you like?

That's great. I like, I like zombie land. When I grew up, when I grew up, like when I was younger, I used to love Groundhog Day, but I am trying to think of what. He actually has a moral arc in Groundhog Day that redeems his asshole character. And so Groundhog Day, all right, that's a classic. I understand why that one's funny. And that does, it is funny.

Because in that scene, or in the air, Scrooge is the same way, right? Like, he's literally the same fucking guy. But he's the same fucking guy. Or he's like, I'm fucking over. Oh, he's. Yeah. And that's what I'm saying. It's those are the same movie, basically.

What about Bob? What about Bob was my favorite? What about Bob was my favorite. Yeah. Caddyshack I like. Yeah, Caddyshack, I think he's funny in Caddyshack as well. He just plays a dumb guy in Caddyshack. I've never seen that.

Okay, this is the one. This is what made me actually love him. I'm realizing now 100% was Kingpin. Yeah, Kingpin. That was the thing that that character is so fucking funny. But he's an asshole too. You're right. He's just a asshole.

What about Garfield, the tale of two kitties? Yeah, I never didn't see that. Isn't he just in Garfield? Is he not in the second Garfield? He's in Tale of Two Kitties as well, I believe. He is a reassure. or is it his brother? He might just be in Garfield.

Sometimes his brother does his voice. He's also the prototype of the guy that's like people think are funny but then they're like, I'm not going to do any more comedy. Like Jim Carrey. Like where it's like, oh, this guy's funny. And then all the rest of his movies are like the number 27 or whatever that movie was.

That's 23. Well, now it would be the number six, seven probably. Whoa. I would actually want to see that movie. I just want to clarify before the final post, Gil Murray did return. for Garfield, The Tale of Two Kitties. He was in that. Okay. But isn't that the one

he said he was confused about who was directing it? The first one? I don't know that he necessarily knew what was going on while he did it. He thought it was the Cohen brothers. But then he came back for the sequel even after he got tricked for the first one? I think they probably gave him some money to do it. Wow. I can't believe it. He's doing it for free. He loves doing Garfield. That's like his favorite thing.

Well, he hates Odie and he wants him dead. So he came back for the second movie. He doesn't want him dead. He wants him send off to Abu Dhabi. Yeah. Breckenmeyer is played John Arbuckle. Now that's a guy. That guy sucks. But that is good casting as John though.

That's a funny guy. Because John Arbuckle sucks. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Okay, well, yeah, it's great to watch him for an hour and a half. He sucks really well. Wait, Carfield, the tale of two kiddies also has Tim Curry and Billy Connolly. Two like old, like, playing characters or are they voicing characters? I probably voicing out of that.

I love Breck and Meyer. He's in like 80 of my favorite movies. What the fuck? I think you had 18 He's in rat race Uh road trip You know Those two movies

I really liked them Finally I'm gonna say something else After road trip That was weird wasn't it My brain just stopped Go on finally One review of Ghostbusters

Afterlife Which one's That's the most recent one where Harold Ramos is CG because he's dead in real life Harold Ramos is The most recent one is Frozen Empire. Oh, sorry.

You're right. Afterlife was the, yeah, the modern. Where they go to like a small town and they find the Ecto 1 and it's all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, but he's dead in real life. And so they do a CGI ghost of Ramos and he helps them do whatever. Kill a ghost. Yeah.

Yeah. That movie sucks so bad. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Jesus Christ. That's why I didn't watch Frozen Empire. I was like Ghostbusters Afterlife is a shity movie. Because they take the original Ghostbusters movies so seriously, like the fans do, which is so, and they made the worst piece of shit ever. You don't want to make fun of it.

I have some posts left in here that I'm not going to be able to get to where people are like very angry because it seems like they were being made fun of by the Ghostbusters 2016. They were. They were. Four stars. My favorite Ghostbusters movie so far. The return of the old cast is one of the best decisions ever because I love that. The CGI You know what?

That's very honest though, right? Yeah. I just wanted to see the old guys back. I love that. I liked it because I loved it. Yeah. The CGI is very good. Yeah.

The new cast is also likable, but not as charming as the originals. The ending is beautiful and emotional. The action slash chase scene with the car is the best scene of the movie, in my opinion. the movie does feel slow at points and there are a few unlikable characters the story is almost the same thing

as the first one and I wanted to see something new overall a really fun movie yeah you didn't want to see anything new you wanted to see the same guys from the other movie that's what you said you love I want to see them do something new they did something like what if they were doing like a cool new dance like the macarena

or the worm or something that would be funny it would just be cool they want to see the exact same people that they grew up with their entire life doing slightly different things. No, wait, not even doing the exact things that they sort of picture in their mind. You know, it's funny, you say, because the other day I'm reading, I've, it's been said on the show already, so I'm just going to say it again.

The other day, I'm reading variety. I know. It sucks that I read that. It does. It makes me feel bad. I'm reading variety and they canceled a teenage mutant indian. an R-rated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. And I like legitimately got a little sad about that.

I was like, I wanted to see a rated R. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Were the turtles say fuck and stuff? Well, yeah, it's called The Last Ronan. I've read the comic book. It's like the last, there's only one Ninja Turtle left alive. And he has to go and kill Shredder. Anyway, the story is almost the same as the first one.

And I wanted to see something new. Overall, a really fun movie. And I'm very excited for Ghostbusters Frozen Em. Empire. I bought it a few days ago on DVD. So he's going to watch Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. Got to get on 4K at this point, by the way. What does he mean he bought it? He hasn't seen it yet, but already bought it on DVD? Sure. Of course. I mean, I did that. Listen, I can't make fun of people buying stuff they

haven't seen on DVD because I bought so many DVDs that I never actually watched in the end. I actually find, Brian, that if you do something, it's a lot easier to make fun of somebody for doing it. It's not. It's been my. It's been my. It's been. my experience is that if Brian does it. You didn't buy DVDs like without seeing. Oh, because you're pirating. You're too cool. Yeah, you guys, they're younger than we are. Jesse's younger than we are as well. Yeah. He's too cool to have a DVD collection. And so it is, I did have DVD. Well, we would rent. Oh, I got a bunch of DVDs up there behind me on the shelf. Yeah, we would go to the Rogers video or sometimes Blockbuster, mostly Rogers video around here. I'd head down to the Scotia Bank and pick up a few new discs. Yeah, Scoti Bank is a movie theater. That's where you go to watch.

also. I think they had for a brief time they had little kiosha bank is a movie theater. It's a scochebent. It sponsors the movie theater. It's a synaplex. It's called Scotiabank. And Rogers are just too much for me. I'm trying to think I would occasionally, I think that when I was younger, I would do that sometimes. It's like, oh, I love these guys. I love this thing. This DVD's on

special for $999 or whatever. I'm just going to fucking buy it. It's in a bin? Yeah, it's in a bin. I would get paid. I'd go to Best Buy. I'd go to Best Buy. I buy a few CDs and a few DVDs. I didn't need to hear or see any of them before I bought them. That's bad ass, man. It was cool. I wanted a huge collection. And believe me, I think a lot of people do that because I've said this before.

When I was the cable guy, I was obsessed with looking at everybody's DVD collection. Like that was just, you get to go in a guy's house and look at his DVD collection. That was like the big perk of the job. That basically, I think there, I think the big perk of the job is something else. that I think about it. It was literally perks. Oh, yeah, I got a lot of perk.

It says, all right. But I would go into everybody's house. Every single dumb guy, every single guy, like, from the age of, like,

20 to fucking 45, own the movie, Electra. Like, that was the thing I noticed. And for some reason, like, everybody had Electra.

That's the Daredevil spin-off. Yes. Well, it's not really fair to call it a spin-off. That's not a direct sequel, though, is it? No,

but she's a character in her own right. Yeah, What is that? The women superheroes can't have their own movies. That's to be a spin-off of a man superhero movie. Do you fucking hear yourself, dude? They can't. Yeah.

And I just watched, I just watched Deadpool and Wolverine like six months ago. And Electra's in it. She's in it, you know. Did you buy it first or did you? No. I could go on my TV on my Apple. I turn my Apple TV on and see the movies I bought because it wasn't out for rent yet.

and they're fucking crazy when you're going through it. It's like, I really need to hear what these are. Like Harley Quinn, the Birds of Prey movie is in there. I know I own that. You bought that on Apple TV? I did. Wait like a week to rent it? No, I couldn't.

I absolutely couldn't wait. How many times have you watched it since you bought it? Well, come on. I know the answer. Yeah. But my wife liked it too. I love the idea of somebody looking at the episode length and being like, oh nice an hour 45 minutes on on this subject I'm really interested in and then now they're listening to

it like what the fuck you didn't even talk about ghostbuster's news we didn't do anything we're supposed to do it was we did an hour 45 minutes we have I have 50 pages of ghostbuster you don't have any idea how much stuff I'm not using the good news is we have guys plus and uh you can on the patreon on patreon I even had erotic fan fiction and we didn't read that Fuck me. Okay. Said the Michelin Man. At the firehouse and back from a call, Egon just admitted to his friends about being gay.

Soon after Peter admitted to being in love and having a kid with Janine. That's how it starts. Egon. That's an interesting intro. Get to the good stuff. Yeah, I get to it. I like that it introduces it. It introduces he's gay so that they can be gay stuff.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's not, there's no. I think it's, oh, Egon fucks the boogeman. Anyway. We'll see you guys next week. Oh, you got the Go Off Kings, your Kickstarter sucked and Block Party. Yeah. Check them out.

Check them out. We love these guys. They're the best. Thanks, Brian. That sounded like Jay Leno. Oh, we, honestly, these are good friends of ours. No, no, we love everything they're doing. Honestly, like, it's like we're friends, but honestly, I just, I respect you guys.

You got a lot of good things in the works. right now. Check these guys out. Stefan and Jesse, they got their show together, but they've also got their own projects going out as well. Such a generous plug at the end. Yeah. And check out Ghostbusters News. Check out Ghostbusters
