Mind-blowing, some of the footage show I was blown away and just started molding this weird narrative that I didn't know what it was or what to call it or anything, just started putting our journey together. And long story short, It unfolded into, you know, a documentary. And I called him and I said, hey, let's call it Ghost. It's like an adventure for us.
And, you know, he didn't really like the name in the beginning because he thought it was too Disneyland-ish. And I said, no, trust me, it's Ghost Adventures. Like, it's just, it's cool. It's like Adventure Bus and we're looking for ghosts. Ghost Adventures.
It aired in 2007 documentary and it did like 1.2 million viewership on cable. Cable television network back then was huge. And from there, we got introduced to another company who picked up the series in 2008 and aired on Travel Channel. So that's how it started, man. That's exactly how it kind of went down really quickly, summed up with all the blood, sweat and tears.
Yeah, I remember climbing the Statue of Liberty in Manhattan, New York. We were there pitching, you know, the documentary into a reality show. And I remember getting the call after we walked out of Travel Chill and they said that they want to pick up the series for eight episodes. And that's how it started.
Yeah, Mark and Debbie Constantino, I met them, let me think, way back was on Ghost Adventures. We were in Nevada. I think, oh, we were doing an event. It was one of our first events we did publicly right when the documentary came out. And back then, they were the EVP specialists, Electronic Voice Phenomena specialists, like Spirit Voices, Digital Recorder, playing back on their DR-60 back then.
They had an arsenal of digital recorders and different types of recorders.
And they were just really good at it. It was really weird. And I was always trying to figure them out. Like, you know, as a logical thinker, like I believe 100% in the unexplainable because we can't explain everything. But also I'm always trying to be like, all right, what are you doing? That voice was way too clear. How are you doing?
So I would ask them questions and I would talk to them and I would watch them and I'd be like, oh man, they're legitimately getting like,
some creepy freaking voices coming through that is very very validating some of uh the things that were happening um and it was like off camera too it wasn't even for tv it was like just investigating stuff with them personally talking them personally hanging out their house and when whenever we were on crossing pass in reno or virginia city we were up there a lot
I said ghosts.
Mark was very, not monotone, he would get excited if he heard a voice coming through or something, but Debbie was super energetic and she was definitely more of the alpha, I should say. She was more of the alpha of, You know, and rightfully so. She just had high energy. She was like an Italian like, you know, it was just her personality. But she was awesome. She was super genuine and nice to me.
Same thing with Mark. They were both really, really nice to me and both humble and liked me. And we got along great. But they were very interesting together, almost to the point where I should say like toxic.
In a relationship, you would almost think that brother-sister fighting all the time, like just kind of disliking each other, but loving each other at the same time. That kind of weird, passionate, like, yo, you guys shouldn't, like, why are you saying that? That's kind of off the cusp, you know? Very aggressive to each other, like vocally. Mark was more like subdued though.
Debbie was very outspoken. So Debbie was just very like, shut up, Mark, you don't know. And Mark would be like, all right, Debbie, come on, stop it. You know, that, seriously, that type of stuff all the time, constant.
So I actually pitched Mark and Debbie Constantino and their family with everything they do and their family to this company. We partnered up, all of us, and we had a crew go off, film everything at their house and film with them for a while and put a whole sizzle reel together that was produced. So yeah, and then that was being pitched around to different networks back then for the cable network.
So that's why I got really, really familiar with them. And I started learning a lot about the family and seeing them and talking to them and everything.
Being on the conference calls with them was very argumental. Not with them, but them two together were arguing all the time on the calls. You know, like, shut up, no, my turn to talk, no, my turn to talk. Like, it was very like a lot of that. But everyone else was cool with them, and they were super nice to everyone else.
But just, I was like, man, it's just, you know, it's just very toxic in that kind of relationship. I guess it wasn't my place, nor did I, like, dissect their marriage or them as people. It was more like being a third party, being there, present when someone is telling another person, like, shut up, stop talking. Like, I don't operate like that with my wife or my family.
I don't like talk or degrade or, you know, down my significant other. So for me mentally, I was like, man, you guys are some rough individuals. Maybe that's just your upbringing. Maybe that's how you guys are. I don't know. Maybe that's how it works. But it just kind of makes you feel uncomfortable at times, or it did for me. But other than that, I just kind of looked away from it.
would have never imagined in my million years i just thought that's how they were and that's just how they live life and maybe that's how some people are you know because you just don't know but i never imagined uh that i just thought you know i don't know i thought that they it's just weird it's like they're they're together for so long you think that okay they're at like a certain age and they're together and this is just how they'll and like they'll be the rest of their life right like older couple fighting all the time but loving too
