[ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: DAN, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT "GHOSTBUSTERS," WHERE THE
IDEA CAME FROM >> WELL, YOU KNOW, MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER SAM WAS
A DENTIST UP THERE IN KINGSTON, ONTARIO. SO SOMETIMES WITH NOT MUCH TO
DO IN THE WINTER, HE BEGAN TO RESEARCH SPIRITUALISM IN THE 1920s.
AND HE WAS REALLY INTO THE CONCEPT OF THE IDEA OF MEDIUM SHIFT, THAT THE CONSCIOUSNESS
SURVIVES AFTER DEATH NOT ONLY THE SOUL, BUT THE CONSCIOUSNESS SURVIVES AFTER
DEATH. SO HE HAD ALL THESE JOURNALS SITTING AROUND THE HOUSE AND I
WAS SITTING IN THE OLD SEANCE ROOM ONE AFTERNOON IN THE SUMMER AND I WAS READING SOME
OF THE JOURNALS THAT HE WAS WRITING AND I JUST THOUGHT, WOW, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE GOOD
TO DO AN OLD STYLE BOB HOPE, BING CROSBY, ABBOTT AND COSTELLO, BWERY BOYS STYLE
COMEDY LIKE THEY USED TO DO IN THE '30s GHOST BREAKERS AND GHOST
CHASERS. AND I THOUGHT IF HE USED ALL OF THE RESEARCH THAT'S REALLY BEEN
DONE AND COMBINE IT TOGETHER, WE COULD HAVE SOMETHING THERE. NOW, NO ONE KNEW WHAT ECTOPLASM
WAS BEFORE THE "GHOSTBUSTERS" MOVIE, RIGHT NOW MILLIONS OF PEOPLE KNOW
WHAT ECTOPLASM IS NOW. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
NOW, AND EVERY COUNTY, THERE IS A GHOST BUSTING SOCIETY WITH THE EQUIPMENT, THEY GO OUT
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF SHOWS OF THE PARANORMAL AND THE SUPERNATURAL
THAT'S ALL FROM MY GREAT GRANDFATHER'S WORK AND THE MOVIE WE ALL PUT TOGETHER.
I BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE. >> Jimmy: WOW. THAT'S FANTASTIC

CAN IDENTIFY WITH. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND THAT'S GHOSTBUSTING IN
