Episode 511 - The Ghosts Of Big Feet

·38 min·3 clips

Larry and Chris, who admit they are unqualified, promise to teach you how to hunt and capture ghosts.

The episode opens with an ad for Horror Pack, a movie subscription box service. Larry introduces the episode's theme: learning how to hunt and capture ghosts. Chris joins, and they banter about calling Ghostbusters versus doing it themselves. The hosts begin a step-by-step guide, starting with locating ghosts. They suggest old houses, cemeteries, old schools, prisons, asylums, battlefields, and sites of murders or accidents. Each location is discussed with comedic tangents, like a '70s ghost with an afro or a ghost stuck at the DMV. The hosts act out capturing a ghost in a cemetery, with the ghost pleading to be released. Next, they cover confirming a ghost's presence with equipment like cameras, camcorders, and tape recorders. They joke about using a camcorder for ghost hunting versus making porn. The hosts then review ghost hunting apps and specific gear, including an EMF meter and 'cat ball motion light up cat balls,' reading a creepy user review about it. They move to catching ghosts, outlining two methods: the 'box and burial' method using hallowed soil and the 'candle method' with a glass jar. They debate if suffocating a ghost in the jar just creates another ghost. The episode concludes with Larry acknowledging they are unqualified teachers, followed by outro instructions on how to find the podcast.
