Last night, Jason and Grant came back from their summer hiatus by doing a live broadcast from the Beyond Reality Event at the Mount Washington hotel in New Hampshire. The audience consisted of 300 people taking part in the TAPS Event. As Jason and Grant usually do with their BRR show, the last hour is a Q & A session.
A question was asked by a member of the audience that was, in my opinion, in very poor taste. Someone asked Jason and Grant if they thought the lady curator from the Merchant's House Museum was really a man. Jason and Grant laughed at this one and made some jokes. Grant said that he was wondering why her (or his...Grant's words) Adam's apple was bigger. Grant continued on with his comments about her and so did Jason, but I can't remember all that was said because I was still in shock from what I heard! The audience roared with laughter at Jason and Grant's childish banter. I was both disgusted and appalled. How can Jason and Grant treat one of their own clients with such disrespect and humiliation, especially on a national broadcast? That's not very professional in my eyes.
Did anyone else happen to listen to the show last night?

I didn't hear it. Is there a rebroadcast of the event we can have a link to? The BRR shows are usually made into a podcast within the first couple days at planetparanormal.com; here is the link: www.beyondreality.planetparanormal.com/This particular question was posed during the first half of the 3rd hour of the show. The podcast should be at the above link by Monday.

What surprised me even more was that the comments came from Grant. I always viewed him as the more level headed and down to earth part of the duo.
TAPS should hold their clients in high regard, not make them the butt of a joke. Whether they were just trying to be funny has no grounds if it pertains to a client who came to them for help. What if the curator, her family, the staff of the museum, heard what was said? I doubt they would think that was humorous.

Doesn't surprise me. Look at what happened to Moss Beach. By the time they were through trashing them, the place was getting harassing calls like crazy.

Moss Beach is still a major topic with Jason and Grant. Another question asked last night to Jason was about the MBD. Someone asked how he kept from reaching across the table and killing Chef Gray during the Reveal (or something to that effect). Jason stated that in fact, he did mention to Grant that he wanted to, but he also said that he had a talk with the chef off camera. According to Jason, Chef Gray said that the owner of the MBD told him not to disclose that there are effects installed in the restaurant to TAPS. So now the blame is being directed toward the owner. This is the first I've heard of this. Chef Gray took a lot of flack from this episode. The harassment of the restaurant and Chef Gray from the die hard TAPS fans was deplorable.

I was in Cali when the MBD episode was aired. I was watching with my relatives and they thought it was absolutely ridiculous that TAPS didn't bother to do at least a little bit of research on it. Maybe if they did, they could have been aware of MBD's built in tricks.

A whole new level of class is achieved by TAPS. Good job guys. What's next, making fun of the physically challenged?
If this story is verifiable, we need to post it in as many places as possible. They should not be allowed to hide.

I can't imagine what Grant thought he would gain by making such comments. It was immature, obnoxious, and mindless. Doesn't he realize that his insolence to that client in front of 300+ people and countless listeners gave a severe blow to his character and also the character of the TAPS organization?
If this matter is ever brought before Jason and Grant, there is no way that they can play the denial card and whittle their way out.

For all we know the people that they make fun of are actors just like them...
