Rage Quit

Rage-quitting doesn't always lead to this, but it isn't uncommon for it to do so, either.|thumb

A rage quit is a general term used to describe when a user becomes enraged by something so much that they rage and abruptly end the session. Normally this term is used in gaming when someone is getting beat badly and shuts off their console. A rage quit within True Capitalist Radio, on the other hand, refers to when the trolls actually enrage Ghost to the point where he ends the show a few minutes early (or sometimes, an entire hour), or spends much of the rest of the show in rage and disbelief.

Actual rage quits, for the most part, are a rare occurrence on True Capitalist Radio. Ghost often threatens to end the show early, but instead usually moves on after calming down and takes more calls. The Chatroom, of course, fills with heckling comments daring him to end the show during one of these threats (which he occasionally takes note of, issuing an "Enough, alright?" or "Don't tempt me..." response to the chat). Show termination threats usually entail Ghost informing the listeners that he doesn't even need to do the broadcast and that he could instead be on Sixth Street right now. He may even mention the drink specials that happen to be available, such as Dollar-You-Call-It Night (these tend to be on all days but Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, according to Ghost.)

On even rarer occasions, Ghost has rage-quit only for the Engineer to take over the show in Ghost's absence. During these take-overs Ghost returns, reprimands the Engineer, and usually ended up finishing the show, Radio Graffiti included.

Ghost Rage Quits
Keep in mind that Ghost normally runs a three-hour broadcast (two hours in early-mid 2016, back to 3 hours again), and that if he rages hard enough, even while ending an episode at its normal time, he may not come back for at least a week because of his annoyance at being disrespected. This was the case for the final few months of the 2011-12 episodes of True Capitalist Radio. In other cases, Ghost may spend much of a show in a tirade, or go so far off topic in his rages that he misses completing some of his news commentary.

 * Episode Number: 312
 * Length: 2:53:20
 * Reason: The Ongoing coup in Turkey severely pissed off Ghost after hearing reports that the Radical Islamists were winning the coup instead of the military.

 * Listen


 * July 17th, 2016
 * Episode Number: 313
 * Length: 1:44:00

 * Episode Number: 324
 * Length: 2:40:48

 * August 10th, 2016
 * Episode Number: 328
 * Length: 2:32:50
 * Reason: Trolls kept making Ghost mad during Radio Graffiti with splices, remixes, and fruitbowls. At the end, a troll spliced him as an Islamic extremist. This made Ghost rant and leave the show, preventing an awaited KaraszKun to talk to Ghost.

After that, Trolls started using names related to the incident, pissing off Ghost. In Radio Graffiti, Ghost got splices, remixes, and calls from trolls about how Templeton bit his hand. This caused Ghost to not do a third hour after being wounded from his dog bite.


 * September 13th, 2016
 * Episode Number: 350
 * Length: 1:13:52
 * Reason: Ghost planned to start calling up members of the DNC based on numbers from his listeners. Shortly before the end of the first hour, Ghost got word that someone in The Brony Network's chatroom was planning to send him a number for the FBI and trick him into calling it. He ended up only doing shoutouts for the members of the Inner Circle before quitting just under 14 minutes into the second hour. This makes it the current shortest regular episode in the show's history.


 * September 16th, 2016
 * Episode Number: 353
 * Length: 2:02:00
 * Reason: Throughout the show, people kept tweeting Ghost pictures of Body Pillows, causing Ghost to go on an insane ramble for a while. In addition, Engineer took over the show, causing Ghost to get furious with him and potentially hit him. To add the icing on the cake, Tub Guy finished off the episode with a song making fun of Texas and the Texas Martyrs, which caused Ghost to end the show altogether.


 * October 3rd, 2016
 * Episode Number: 363
 * Length: 2:35:00
 * Reason: Ghost broke down crying after a call with various members of the Capitalist Army (including Teutonic Plague and Donald Trump) endorsing Team Engineer, leading to him ending the show nearly 30 minutes early, citing that he couldn't take this betrayal anymore. After the show, both 727 Caller and Teutonic Plague, concerned with Ghost's well being, said it was a joke and they're on Team Ghost. Teutonic Plague also claimed after the show that his brown-nosing was an act, however he still likes the show and is a member of the Capitalist Army.


 * October 6th, 2016
 * Episode Number: 366
 * Length: 2:59:49

 * Episode Number: 367
 * Length: 2:43:25

 * Episode Number: 369
 * Length: 2:59:44
 * Reason: thisissparta789789 called in with "True Incest Radio" involving Ghost having sexual intercourse with his granddaughter, resulting in Ghost raging hard before praying to his God to smite Sparta. A caller played a spice about multiple Inner Circle members, including G, boycotting Ghost and his show, causing Ghost to go on a very quick rage before leaving at almost exactly 3 hours.


 * October 12th, 2016
 * Episode Number: 371
 * Length: 2:46:00
 * Reason: Ghost had been played a choir and orchestral versions of the theme from "Boss N*****". Ghost then ended the show with taking trolls to the woodshed.


 * October 21st, 2016
 * Episode Number: 377
 * Length: 2:47:00
 * Reason: Before Radio Graffiti, Ghost was bit by Templeton again, leading to Templeton splices and #TeamTempleton on Twitter. The icing on the cake was when Ghost heard a police siren and thought they were coming to get him, causing him to end the show early. (He later revealed on Twitter that his neighbor called 911 for noise disturbance)


 * October 28th, 2016
 * Episode Number: 382
 * Length: 2:59:10
 * Reason: 20 minutes before the end of the show, Ghost called up Teutonic to speak with him one last time. Both agreed that the banning was simply a deal between Ghost and his audience, and Ghost thanked Teutonic for his support while Teutonic seemed to accept his defeat gracefully. However, Ghost let Teutonic make one final statement, which he used to confess that he was a brony. Learning this instantly erased any regret Ghost might have had about the ban, and sent him into an extended rage for the rest of the show, including multiple Cans.wav and Puke.wav, bringing the total cans count to 25 and making this episode the second highest on the Cans High Score.


 * November 25th, 2016
 * Episode Number: 399
 * Length: 2:45:10
 * Reason: Ghost quit the show 15 minutes early due to being tired from Black Friday and managing his Brick and Mortar businesses. What finally ended it was a splice of Ghost having gay sex with The Internet Buttstalker and Barack Obama.

 * January 13th, 2017
 * Episode Number: 433
 * Length: 2:44:09
 * Reason: A failtroll, supposedly the cleveland caller, would make a Pizzagate joke. Ghost would call the caller back along with confronting him. After calling him back, Ghost would quit in a rage without throwing cans with almost 16 minutes in the broadcast left.


 * January 27th, 2017
 * Episode Number: 441
 * Length: 1:35:18
 * Reason: Ghost had his fill of the Alt-Right, raging on how his show has been only listened to by Troll Terrorists.

Another possible reason is that he possibly wanted to enjoy Valentine's Day with his wife.


 * May 3rd, 2017
 * Episode Number: 498
 * Length: 2:43:18
 * Reason: Ghost was already in a bad mood due to how he saw his listeners as "cartoon fetish freaks". During Radio Graffiti, someone played a conversation of Ghost arguing with Trumping to the song "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, causing Ghost to rage quit.


 * November 23rd, 2017
 * Episode Number: 510
 * Length: 2:16:00
 * Reason: Ghost took random numbers for most of the show, both before and after Gab shoutouts. This essentially led to a non-stop Radio Graffiti, eventually causing him to rage quit after a splice of him and Roy Moore getting it on.

 * Length: 1:48:18
 * Reason: After going on a long rant that his listeners are mostly 'asperger autists', Ghost would take random calls, effectively making it a Radio Graffiti without Shoutouts. The calls would infuriate him greatly, with a splice of him having sex with Bernie Sanders causing him to rage quit.
