Description

For over a decade, Zak Bagans has dominated the paranormal investigation world. Amassing armies of followers and an entire museum of powerful haunted artifacts, Zak Bagans is the undisputed king of the afterlife. Now, two man-boys set out on the most dangerous podcast project in the history of the internet: to challenge Zak Bagans to Come Fight Us In The Dark. Join hosts Joel Klineburger (stand-up comic and prolific media consumer) and Erik Hoofnagle (animator whose childhood has been a meme once) on their quest to study Zak Bagans through watching every episode of Ghost Adventures. Each week, we follow the antics of the Ghost Adventures Crew, talk trash, and set intense stipulations to our inevitable confrontation with Zak Bagans and his team, all while putting hard hitting questions like ”Has Zak ever made love to a spirit?” and ”How many ghosts can Zak bench?” into the world.

CFMITD Halloween Special 2026: Grave Snooki Encounters

2026/10/20

Boo Witches and Warlocks. Its OUR time of year and to celebrate we tried to bring you some spooky cheer in the form of a new celebrity ghost hunting show and a movie that is talking directly ABOUT Zak. Sadly, both were a bit lacking. So join us with your union approved seasonal drink of choice as we discuss Snooki: Paranormal Rookie and Grave Encounters.

Get ready for one FRICKIN FRICK of an episode as Zak and the GAC get locked the FRICK down in America's most famous Michael Bay movie set...FRICKIN DEATH (or Pelican) ISLAND. Join Joel and Erik as we make each other uncomfortable by role play Zak as the narcissistic boyfriend in Midsommar as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 9, Episode 8: Alcatraz

CFMITD Episode 94: The Power of Novito's Compels You (Exorcist House)

2026/08/18

Happy 100 episodes of GAC Witches and Warlocks (give or take. No one at Discovery+ gives a care about airing order) Zak treats himself and his boys to a trip to the setting of his favorite movie that isn't Bram Stoker's Dracula. The Exorcist House, sight of an exorcism in the 1940s and current sight of...well...not too much. Join Joel and Erik as we really get into a couple of bits for probably too long to keep being funny as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 9, Episode 7: The Exorcist House

CFMITD Episode 93: Return to Innocence & the Cuck Truck (Haunted Victorian Mansion)

2026/07/21

WE ARE BACK BABY, back on our regularly scheduled program after nearly a year of flipping and reversing it, and what a joy it is to be here. Nick isn't allowed to be a home town hero, Aaron gets big dogged, Jay and Billy are forced to watch in silence, and Zak wears cool shoes.

CFMITD Reversal FINALE: What a salty load of crap (Pioche Hospital of Hell)

2026/07/07

Witches and Warlocks you may hear burpin' and slurin' because we made good on our promise. This episode blew so we had to drink some brews. Zak goes high, Aaron goes below, Billy gets a devastating cold bite on his knee from an interdimensional boss monster from a 1998 computer game, and Jeff comments on how BIG it is. Oh and Jay gets high. Join Joel and Erik as we veer off course constantly as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 14: Pioche Hospital of Hell.

CFMITD Reversal: The Mountain of MEH (Mountain of Madness Pt 1&2)

2026/06/23

Witches and Warlocks, our bellies are distended with the dry slop of a Costco sized double dose of Novitos. Who knew Zak could not only ruin ALIENS but also Witchcraft? Join Erik and Joel as we talk about caked up boys and Bill Chan's ruined toys as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 1&2, Mountain of Madness.

CFMITD Reversal: Zak's Throat Game is Weak (Hollydale Asylum of Hell)

2026/06/10

Egg on our face WItches and Warlocks. The GAC is in LA and they decided that instead of a regular episode of Ghost Adventures, they would treat us to one of the most terrifying episodes of reality TV ever. Sacrificed animals, thieves in the night, buttcrack sweat, this episode has it all. Join Erik and Joel as we are both possessed by RFK Jr as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 3: Hollydale Asylum of Hell.

CFMITD Reversal: Mold Man by PenisKillin' ft. Meatz n' Raskal (Hospital of the Damned)

2026/05/13

Witches and Warlocks, our bellies are so full of Novitos ravioli at this point that we may as well be on the goddamn can. Zak thinks the Satanic Panic was legit, Jay is becoming sub-Billy, Billy is Vibrating, but not as much as Aaron, who vibrates so much he almost dies. Join Joel and Erik as we laugh through the pain as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 4: Hospital of the Damned

CFMITD Reversal: Why Don't You Take a Seat Zak? (Darkness of Belmont Park)

2026/04/28

Witches and Warlocks, this episode is presented by our least favorite sponsors; Noveto's Ravioli. We have opened the cans, breathed in the dust, and swallowed our medicine as we observe Aaron ride a roller coaster, Billy hitting clowns with balls, Jay lose all his aura, and Zak goes on the worst hunt ever. Join Joel and Erik as we attempt to avoid TOASTY legal action as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 5: Darkness of Belmont Park

CFMITD Reversal: The Shadow of Beverly (Rage on the River)

2026/04/14

Witches and Warlocks, pour one out for a fallen elder Witch whose life is shown to burn so bright in this episode. Aaron has fun in the water, Billy puts a camera under his chin and we see into his brain via his nose, and Zak forms a bond with a 98 year old man. Join Erik and Joel as we both laugh at the unceasing march of time as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 6: Rage on the River

CFMITD Reversal: The Fall of (cave) Man (Gold Town Terror)

2026/03/31

Witches and Warlocks, step off the edge and fall into the pit of despair that is this episode with us. Zak gets sleepy, Jay comes out as pro human sacrifice, Billy nods a lot, and Aaron is excited for cave exploration. Join Joel and Erik as we pitch a new paranormal police procedural show (and Paul Blart 3) as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 7: Gold Town Terror.

CFMITD Reversal: The Salty Pendleton (Pendleton Part 2)

2026/03/17

Witches and Warlocks, you may want to avert your eyes, because in this episode, Billy Tolley leads us as close as humans dare to gazing upon the divine. Aaron hears a vampire, Jeff cries because of feedback loop, and Zak informs a woman in a dark basement that he can smell her fear. Join Erik and Joel as we say LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH as we discuss Ghost Adventures, Season 30, Episode 9: Buried Souls of Pendleton Part 2

CFMITD Reversal: In Search of Little Butt (Pendleton Part 1)

2026/03/03

Hey ho Witches and Beyotchlocks! The boys are in Pendleton to scare up the ghosts of mole people and their consorts. Zak proves ghosts are real, Billy sucks his lips, and Aaron wears a HAT. Join Joel and Erik as we go so far that even we question why anyone listens as we discuss Ghost Adventures, Season 30, Episode 8: Buried Souls of Pendleton)
