In this episode JD is fortunate enough to interview yet another Guinness World Record holder, Robert O'Connor about his Ghostbusters Collection.

Robert almost makes me cry as we discuss the emotional ties to Ghostbusters throughout his childhood and how this eventually led to his record setting collection, the local fan community and years of charity work. He also reveals that they have a familiar connection that led to his being on the podcast as we dare to cross the collector streams.
