True Capitalist Radio

About

True Capitalist Radio is a podcast radio show airing on Blog Talk Radio, hosted by a Texan pundit known as Ghost. The show was originally titled True Conservative Radio but was changed to its current name in 2011. The radio show covers a variety of topics including markets and current politics.

Online History

The politically right-leaning radio show True Capitalist Radio mainly consists of the host giving his opinions on current topics, giving stock and investment advice, and a call in segment called Radio Graffiti. The show gained most of its popularity when a large group of 4chan users stared a raid on the call in segments of the show in an attempt to troll him. The prank calls generally play soundboards or YouTube videos, and accuse him of racism and homophobia. One of the earliest known raids took place on December 3rd, 2009 and a recording was uploaded to YouTube by user KinetiK001.

These raids continued, and before long the radio show became famous for the neverending stream of trolling attempts that would unfailingly drive Ghost to incoherent rage.

First Hiatus

The show’s final episode aired on May, 15, 2012. The exact reason for the termination for the show was never made clear, but Ghost’s Twitter was hacked and rumors spread that the man was doxxed.

Ghost made an official goodbye stream for a few private users in his “capitalist army”. He goes on to talk about how he will focus more on his personal life and the entire stream was done out of character.

Ghost Returns

On November 13th, 2015 after 3 years of his hiatus ghost returned to the internet for an “emergency broadcast” originally uploaded on his Youtube channel

After this broadcast Ghost again went dark for another 4 months until March, 20, 2016 Ghost returned again to blog talk radio with a 30 minute show. At the end of this broadcast Ghost says he will return in April with full shows, a promise he fulfilled. This began the show’s second major run.

Second Hiatus and Possible Finale

The return of True Capitalist Radio lasted for approximately one year. On May 8th, 2017, Ghost officially terminated the show again, this time citing the large influx of fetishists in his listener base as the reason alongside a desire to rein in his alcoholism (A goal which hosting the radio show was obviously not conducive toward).

Ghost expressed a desire to eventually return, but any and all plans toward that have fallen through and the show remains on indefinite hiatus.

cans.wav

cans.wav is the fan nickname for the sound effect accompanying Ghost’s rages. Often, when Ghost becomes angered, the sound of empty cans being knocked around and against each other can be heard amidst the yelling, generally assumed to be a collection of beer cans on Ghost’s desk. Ghost has occasionally denied this, claiming it’s “just crap on [his] desk”, but one piece of merchandise sold by Ghost was autographed beer cans “used in cans.wav”, confirming their nature.

Often, trolls treat each successfully-induced instance of cans.wav as points in a scoring system. The True Capitalist Wiki includes a page documenting the highest scoring episodes in the show’s run.^[5]

Ghost’s Catchphrases

Ghost commonly responds to prank callers by calling them all manner of derogatory terms, often racist or homophobic in nature (fruit bowls, g’damn Mexicans, internet buttstalker, the po’ (his term for black people or once every blue moon hippies)) the prank calls usually involve playing a sound clip from someone/something he hates; be it My Little Pony or the left wing politician du jour, remixing his voice clips into songs or self flagellating sentences, occasionally even sung live on the show and general trolling, derailing, insulting etc. When confronted with people that call him racist he usually flips out often time even resorting to “Guess the minority” if he believes they are “ethnic”, his little game that he swears isn’t racist. When he is particularly upset, a massive shuffling of cans can often be heard in the background. Ghost has spawned several catchphrases including “I’m an alcoholic”, “I’M A CAPITALIST!”, “Pooptickler? What kind of a name is Pooptickler?”, “I’m shooting pearls”, “TROLLTERRORISTS”, “You people will RUE the day…”, “I’m taking the necessary steps to ensure that… …PUNITIVEDAMAGESOUT OF YOURASS” and almost always before he rage quits during Radio Graffiti “Stick a fork in me, I’m done”.

Regular Callers, Trolls, And Characters

Ghost has many regular guests on his radio graffiti show. A lot of his trolls put on a persona or play exaggerated versions of themselves to make him angry. Ghost refers to many of these people as “Troll Terrorists” Some note worthy callers include:

Ghetto Capitalist

Ghetto Capitalist– Ghetto Capitalist normally calls Ghost with the sound of a crying baby in the background. As his name suggests, he makes his living by scamming welfare programs such as food stamps and government assistance checks, to agitate Ghost’s capitalistic ideals.
h6. Tub Guy

Tub Guy– A caller who initially attempted to troll Ghost with a George Takei impression, but after Ghost mistook some background noise for the sound of bathtub water sloshing around, the character of Tub Guy was born. He will almost always call the show with a sexual remark followed by his catchphrase “OOOOH, MYYYY”.

Tri$ha

Tri$ha- Tri$ha is a transsexual (or “trans-testicle”, a term Ghost coined) female who calls in with a very high raspy voice. She will often make sexual advances toward Ghost or talk about her post-op surgery which will usually get ghost ganging over the mic.

Asho

Asho– Asho (at the time) was a 14 year old kid who would call into the show with fake child abuse stories, which often set Ghost off into ranting about single mothers. After Ghost’s return in 2016, Asho developed a new trolling tactic of bootlegging True Capitalist Radio merchandise, much to Ghost’s frustration.

Internet Buttstalker

Internet Buttstalker– Often called up with sexual advancements toward Ghost, and was one of the first major trolls. Ghost gave him the nickname Internet Buttstalker after repeated calls.

Suck Mah Dick Guy

Suck Mah Dick Guy– His pranks started with him calling up and just repeating “suck mah dick”, but over time his troll tactics got more elaborate. Occasionally he would call in pretending to have a serious conversation with Ghost, only to revert to his catchphrase once Ghost’s guard was lowered. On other occasions he would impersonate other callers for a while before yelling for Ghost to suck his dick.

Xarahox

Xarahox- Also known as The Piano Man, calls into play a short song on his digital keyboard nearly every show. Though initially on Ghost’s good side, Xarahox eventually started playing songs that would set off Ghost, such as playing the Inspector Gadget theme the day after a particularly infuriating Inspector Gadget-themed audio splice.

Coodoo17

Coodoo17– Calls up and sings parody songs to Ghost. Coodoo started trolling Ghost toward the end of the show’s original run, and would often cause Ghost to end the show early in sheer rage. After Ghost’s return, Coodoo developed the character of “Germit the Gay Frog”, a parody of Kermit the Frog who would, again, make unwanted sexual advances on Ghost.

Tzeki

Tzeki- Tzeki claims to be a part of Anonymous, and is known for being British, very calm and somewhat intellectual. Tzeki calls the show into the show to antagonize and insult other callers like GOOFY_BONE.

GOOFY_BONE

GOOFY_BONE -GOOFY_BONE is a long-time caller that claims he has been persuaded by Ghost’s broadcasts to identify himself as a capitalist, and has produced several rap music videos that are available on his YouTube channel STR8LOCRec . At one time GOOFY had his own podcast show on Blog Talk Radio where he would take calls and play pre recorded sound files of The Engineer pretending as if he was in the room with him.

The African Booty Scratcher

The African Booty Scratcher is a caller ostensibly from central Africa (actually from Ukraine) who primarily trolls Ghost by agitating his racial biases and making unwanted sexual advances upon both Ghost and his wife.

The Engineer

The Engineer is a character that can be heard in the background of the show who is supposed to screen Ghost’s calls for him and manage all of the technical aspects of the show. The Engineer’s voice is an unintelligible mumble. Notably, the Engineer and Ghost have never been heard speaking at the same time, leading most fans to speculate that the Engineer is just Ghost. Fans of the show coined the term “The Engineer is a spy” in reference to Team Fortress 2 and also because The Engineer sometimes takes part in trolling Ghost by allowing blocked numbers to be put on the air or playing unfavorable music on the broadcast. On some occasions, the Engineer has even taken over the show by taking calls after Ghost leaves the room for one reason or another.

Trolling Tools

Soundboards and remixes using clips of Ghost are often used to troll the show. Trolls will play songs over the microphone in order to anger Ghost. The most notable songs are Fuck You Texas,Boss Nigger,The My Little Pony theme song,My EBT, Various Eminem songs and many more. Trolls will often take audio clips of him talking and play them out of context. Trolls have made faked clips of him beating his children or saying racist remarks. Some examples:
