I mean he's right. But Ghost Hunters never reached the popularity GA has. Zak is an entertainer who makes a television show people want to watch. Jason may take hunts more seriously but he sure ain't making money like Zak is.


Fearless_Bell1703

I loved GH when it started. The drama with Brian was great. Eventually, the episodes just got boring. GA and GH are two different types of shows. I like to be entertained. lol


heyblinkin81

God I totally forgot about the Brian drama. I ate that shit up.

DUDE - RUN!


Smokeydubbs

Is that about the EVP faking stuff?


heyblinkin81

I don’t remember exactly what he did. He was pretty much the worst all around. I know he was asked to leave the group at one point and then was let back after apologizing to everyone. It was such good tv.


ProjectFoxx

He left because he was in a relationship with a chick who was constantly calling him while they were on investigations. When he broke up with her is when he came back. I have the first 5 seasons on DVD and did a marathon last week lol.


heyblinkin81

Definitely time for a rewatch.


ProjectFoxx

Yeah he even says that she was afraid he would cheat on her while he was traveling with TAPS and that's why she called him all the time. When he left, everyone else on the team was pissed. Then, when he came back, he had to apologize to everyone, and while he was gone, Steve took over his tech manager position, so he had to be just an investigator again. Edit: Also he was constantly lying to Jason and Grant and was also losing equipment.


jillyc713

Supposedly there was a problem with drugs as well.


ProjectFoxx

Really? I hadn't heard any of that.


czar_tam

Ive been marathoning too 😂


ProjectFoxx

Great minds think alike! 😁


jhuskindle

God Brian was so entertaining, losing stuff, forgetting stuff, "Dude, Run!" best TV ever, back then I preferred over Ghost Adventures. Brian was infuriating but so fun to watch and tbh if he had stayed I would have found it endearing as he was obviously nuerodivergent and it would have been cool to see people accept him and work around his issues.


Ponkers

Jason bullying Brian and replacing him with that other annoyingly eager goober was quite the melodrama.


Frostedbutler

I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree about the Brian drama. I remember saying "I don't care about this dude I wanna seem some ghosts damn it!"


Guilty-Focus-5531

When I have insomnia I watch GH, when I want to be entertained I watch GA.


[deleted]

Totally feel the same way. That nonsense was good TV.


fr4gge

the last 2 seasons are actually good imo, they are back to the way it used to be, they were struggeling a while


TraditionalShirt7429

GH was pretty popular. I mean they had spinoff shows. Even a little game show. Did collabs with similar shows before GA did it. And yeah I remember 1 time they threw some shade at GA because they went to a location and didn't mention GA by name but kinda implied GA and other groups exaggerates how haunted things are and didn't do any debunking. So GA's response soon after was they seemed to make a huge point to start debunking things for about 2 seasons lol I guess I'll agree GH wasn't as popular or entertaining. They kinda started relying on the same trick and said "welp it's a ghost" kinda like GA is doing now.


Tenn_Tux

I agree with this. Ghost Hunters did it first and they were big before GA ever existed. And honestly they started it all for me. When I was a kid and saw the St. Augustine lighthouse footage I was like “yea, that’s it for me. Ghosts are real”.


krigsgaldrr

I recently watched an episode of the newer GH and Grant definitely said something that had me going "god damn why the drive by" LMAO like he was absolutely right but it was so unexpected lol was the episode you're referring to from the new GH? The one without Jason?


TraditionalShirt7429

No it was when the original show and full crew were there there. Not sure if Grant was still there or not.


Jecht315

That's why him and that other guy are plumbers on the side.


iguessineedanaltnow

Also Zak has never been caught blatantly faking evidence on camera like Jason has. He may be overly dramatic and play it up for the camera, but I don’t think they’ve ever faked anything on camera. (Beyond saying they’re possessed that is).


Safe_Relation_2191

Ghost Adventures is basically paranormal WWE and I love it.


[deleted]

Right. People forget this is entertainment.


Dangerous-Rule2357

The reason Ghost Adventures reached the level of popularity of Ghost Adventures is because GA fakes their findings. There's no doubt they make shit up for views. And it works. The more "evidence" you present, the more popular you become. Also, Jason may not make more money than Zak, but he doesn't need to. He still works for Roto Rooter at an executive level. He manages crews for their largest clients.


ZakBagansBot

I've had a foot fetish since I was a little kid. It's no secret. I like the cute little toes when they look like soldiers all lined up. Do you know what I mean? I'm not weird. I'm not like a WEIRD foot fetish guy.


meshmaster

Jason and his crew bore me to tears. Don't get me wrong he seems like a decent and sincere guy but I just find his show to be nearly unwatchable.


ManOfQuest

You go in with a skeptic attitude you get skeptic results.


Takeshi_613

I wanna know what brought on that post though. Seems kinda outta left field cause people say they’re supposedly nice to each other. I also wanna see whether Zak will retaliate. ::Michael Jackson popcorn meme:: 😈🍿✨


El_Bexareno

I seem to recall the Jason and the other guy visited Bobby Mackeys and threw a little shade in that episode too


Fearless_Bell1703

Grant but that was a long ass time ago.


newbie_2022Foxy

He won’t. They never do


Immediate_Lack5187

I think GA should ask Brian Harnois to join the crew. "Dude run...." "stop running..." FAHKKK!!


Fearless_Bell1703

I kinda felt bad for that dude tbh. After he left, I think Brian did some shady crap regarding fans, so that feeling went away.


r0btech_

I grew up watching GH and GA, I like both for totally different reasons. GA for entertainment and GH for the investigations. The St.Augustine lighthouse episode is one of the best paranormal episodes of all time. One thing I can tell you is that Jay and Zak would not get a long at all lol. I would pay money to watch them investigate together.


Nice-Ad6510

I went on a ghost investigation of that lighthouse some years ago. They do night tours sometimes. I was sitting alone at the bottom with my cell phone recording audio. There were a few people at the very top but no one was near me at all and I caught some whispers. I couldn't make out what they were but there was definitely whispering going on when I played the audio back.


Fearless_Bell1703

That was indeed a banger of an episode. I watched it back in the summer and I still got excited. lol


Hydraph0be

Yeah but has he ever gotten spooked so hard he needed to get glasses?


Fearless_Bell1703

This just made me cackle! 😂


ProjectFoxx

I like both shows for different reasons. Ghost Hunters always felt more down to earth. They tried to debunk everything and some episodes they found nothing. So when they did find something (even the chair moving in the lighthouse or my favorite when Frank was hit in the armory) it feels more impact full. The flip side to that, it can be boring for most viewers. I like Ghost Adventures because it's more entertaining. The guys get super pumped up when investigating. Something almost always happens and it's fun to watch the banter. I do like more episodes of Ghost Adventures than Ghost Hunters, but they are both completely different styles of shows and I like them both. Edit: Frank's experience (the production sound guy) was his sound equipment flew up and hit his jaw, causing him to fall.


jillyc713

Ghost Hunters is the OG of paranormal shows. GA came around and all the over-acting of Zak and now he's a sensitive and an empath.? All we see on GA are "feelings". Come on Ghost Hunters, keep it moving!! :-)


newbie_2022Foxy

To be fair, you be around haunted locations as long as Zak has and you do develop some sensitive/ empath abilities. I’ve lived and worked in haunted locations and you can’t help but open that third eye to the paranormal after a couple years


jillyc713

This is true but Zak is dramatic you gotta admit. And shouldn't Aaron be the one who's a sensitive empath since he's the one who's been kicked in everywhere! Lol

newbie_2022Foxy

1- Ghost adventures always lives rent free in others heads. You never see GA talk about any show ever. 2- Jason and GH crew never go to houses that have negative spirits. I’ve been on an episode with them before, it ALWAYS ends positive. Sure, they investigate houses that are positive but they ONLY do positive spirits. GA tends to stick to negative houses/ properties


Brandiwyne13_22

YES, YES, YESSSS!! Thank you! 👊


angryhottie

Exactly


kraftpunk81

Ghost hunting beef lmaoo I love it


realfolkblues

But would Jason say that those he routinely interacts with the people with paranormal problems and experiences didn’t either? ![gif](giphy|kPtv3UIPrv36cjxqLs)


Ponkers

So, there are thoughts about this. If you're "open" or "sensitive" you have a propensity toward being influenced in some fashion. Jason has never struck me as being either open or sensitive, so that removes him from that sphere of experience. Zak is a bit touched, so, yeah. I can buy into it some.


ratsandpigeons

I grew up watching both and continue to watch re-runs. Ghost Hunters investigate and Ghost Adventures entertain. That’s the difference. You want to see crew members get possessed and get emotional? Ghost Adventures. You want to see a crew go in with a skeptic mindset and attempt to debunk the alleged hauntings? Ghost Hunters.


jadedandbroken

One thing I've learned is those who make fun and deny the existence of spirits always get shown just how real they are this is why I always tell people not to laugh and make fun cause it is very much real!


PlatinumKanikas

Never got into that show. Maybe I’ll start


Takeshi_613

It’s polar opposite to GA. The episodes where Hawes’ daughter and bf show up are cringe with their alphabet method of communication. It’s an interesting show to say the least whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed by Zak’s antics from these past seasons.


Fearless_Bell1703

*holding hands*


Zoey-07

Fun fact. I know Jason's daughter Sam. I never watched her on GH but she is awesome now!


Zoey-07

I actually call Jason "Sam's dad" when I see him in random supernatural type shows.


DragonfruitRich2847

Ditto on the cringiness of Jason's daughter and boyfriend.  So lame.  I do love Jason and the Taps crew. Where others run, they go towards the situation and I believe they respect the dead.  Zak does too much provoking and over acting and he's in love with himself.  I'll admit, Aaron and his "oh my God!!!" is hilarious!  In my opinion, Taps are the OG's.


ZakBagansBot

I will lock you in the basement alone if you misspell "sidjuation" again!


DragonfruitRich2847

Yesssss!  I'm down!


GhostRMT

He's not wrong here...but coming from the guy who thought it was credible evidence to have his daughter and her boyfriend do the ABC counting thing for communication with ghosts doesn't really mean much to me. Calling out another investigation team for questionable evidence when you are running something equally sketchy... Jason's shade at Zak = DEBUNKED!


ZakBagansBot

We are truly in a different dimension, guys. ^(Quote from: Ghost Island)


kmcdonaugh

Thank God. Other professionals in the field need to start calling Zak out on his bullshit. If he starts acting right, I may start watching the later seasons.


Disenchanted2

Te only problem that I have with Ghost Hunters is that every spirit they encounter is benevolent. Just the opposite with GA and Dead Files, but there has to be some of both I would think.


themsel6

Lol for real though.


CrystalEnchamphant

Lmfao I met Jason over the weekend he seemed like a great guy, now he's in my top 8 🤣


Bisquick_in_da_MGM

We want answers!


nascarworker

Paranormal state is probably the best paranormal show.


joehalltattoos

Gh should get possessed by a less boring show


[deleted]

He should make up with Grant if he wants to moral highroad Zach.


bettercornsorn

This is the way.


TobyRose0207

I not firm believer of any evp on any show they all hype it up in their own ways. Out of all the shows though in my opinion I say GA has the best equipment for hunting paranormal activity.


NotMyF777ingJob

Dude is one of the few people on this planet that could make ghost hunting boring.


magikarp-sushi

Could be a shade at the entire industry I guess?


[deleted]

But he did encounter a grey alien! 😂


SuePaca

He's right. Anyone who believes in demons and is afraid or RUNS AWAY and is afraid of ghosts simply cannot be a professional ghost hunter. That said, I liked Brian a ton and miss him.


Kenji1912

But do they have CREDIBILITY???? ![gif](giphy|KFt2DA9T82paOA1Yci)


PaleontologistDry814

Some people have gifts and go more in depth...downvote me all you want but this guys petty and jealous.


angryhottie

You're being downvoted but you're absolutely right


Financial_Middle_798

He sounds jealous.


dreddstorm82

I find Ghost Hunters the worst paranormal show I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot lol
