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.

2026/01/20

YeeHaw Witches and Warlocks. Our new year reversal experiment is going off without a hitch! Well, one hitch, this episode is bad. Zak doesn't care, Billy smells poop, and Jay flexes hard. Join Joel and Erik as we devolve into an argument about memes as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 13, Episode 12: Condemned in Calico.

CFMITD Reversal: New Year, New Zak (Midnight at the Museum)

2026/01/06

Happy 2026 Witches and Warlocks! As part of a fresh start for this fresh new year, we are doing things a little different.

Join us as we get right to the debauchery as we discuss Ghost Adventures, Season 30, Episode 13: Midnight at the Museum).

CFMITD Holiday Special: Gary Pewssy

2025/12/24

Ho Ho oh no Witches and Warlocks. Erik and I decided to be selfish little Grinches this year and do something special just for US; watching a ghost show from 2006 staring Gary Busey, a nunnies alt comic, and 3 models. A delicious & decadent drink, or a terrifying trip? Watch with us as we discuss Celebrity Paranormal Project Episode 1: Waverly Hills (Its free to watch on Youtube!)

CFMITD Episode 92: Billy Tolley's First Kill (The Yost Theatre)

Uh oh Witches and Warlocks! Zak and the GAC turn into alt-right podcast chuds as they go to great lengths to convince the audience that orbs are the ghosts of aborted fetuses. Join Joel and Erik as we do so many bits that we almost trap ourselves into a Saint Vitus Dance esque loop of laughter that could have ended in our deaths as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 9, Episode 5: The Yost Theatre & Ritz Hotel (and Waffle-house).

CFMITD Episode 91: Noveto's Slurvilus Flavored Ravioli (Missouri State Prison)

2025/11/12

My oh my Witches and Warlocks. We didn't realize we would need our can openers when we started this episode. Sadly, Zak and the GAC force feed us cold, dry, Noveto's as they spend an eternity talking about how haunted this location is, while not getting evidence. Join Erik and Joel as we use baby birds to disprove god as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 9, Episode 4: Missouri State Prison

CFMITD HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: Transylvania

2025/10/28

BOO Witches' and Warlocks. We have bought the ticket and taken the ride to beautiful Romania to join Zak and the GAC as they track the infamous legend of Drac. Join Joel and Erik as we talk about orb based STDs as we discuss Ghost Adventures, Season 9, Episode 10: Transylvania

CFMITD Episode 90: Nick LITERALLY Gets Stabbed by Bill Gates (Tuolumne Hospital)

Salame Witches and Warlocks! The GAC are back in California to shoot an inordinate number of Ol' Prospector short films, and when they find the time, hunt for ghosts.

Join Joel and Erik as we rejoice in the abundance of evidence and Billy bumbles as we discuss Ghost Adventures, season 9, episode 3: Tuolumne Hospital.

CFMITD Episode 89: Haunting or Hantavirus? (Black Swan Inn)

2025/09/30

Witches and Warlocks, join us for a very special episode. Erik is on painkillers while his destroyed clavicle bones pinch his meat, and so, in solidarity, Joel also took drugs. Its a drug-a-sode filled with jokes about jelking utters and ghostly grand mothers as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 9, Episode 2: Victoria's Black Swan Inn.

CFMITD SPECIAL EPISODE! Paranormal Challenge, La Purisima Mission

2025/09/18

Well Witches and Warlocks, I have been out in nature and Erik has been flying over his handlebars as though his shoulders were made of something other than bones. To make up for the delay, here is one of our crowning achievements from the Patreon vault. A number of jokes were born in this episode (Billy's friend Grimace, Joshua Peepeepoopoo Warren's wish machine) and honestly, it just reaffirms that Paranormal Challenge is truly our muse. Please enjoy as we get back on our regularly scheduled program asap.

Come Fight Me In The Dark Episode 88: Night of the Cricket (The Pioner Saloon)

2025/08/26

We are BACK WITCHES AND WARLOCKS. Grab your boots, your mining helmets, and some Raid as we drive into the deserts of Nevada to the most haunted toilet in America, attached to the less haunted Pioneer Saloon. How will Zak and the GAC contend with a mine full of bats, a bar full of bullet holes, and a bathroom filled with the blood of prostitutes and/or movie stars?

Join Joel and Erik while we practice Squach shouts as we discuss Conjuring Kesha Season 1, Episode 4: Into Bigfoots Lair.

CFMITD: The Descent, Episode 3: Oops! All Schmendricks! (Dead Possessions Episode 1)

2025/07/22

Well Witches and Warlocks! Erik and Joel did some deep descending and realized that two whole shows that Zak has done are not worth talking about, so we landed on Deadly Possessions. This is a show where Zak dares you to look at his stuff, and asks, "isnt it neat?" Watch as he tries to make his collection complete with the introduction of the Dybbuk Box and Robert the Doll. One is a made up story so powerful it became real, and the other is a doll that does not appreciate being called the F slur. Join Joel and Erik as we dive into Deadly Possessions, Episode 1: The Dybbuk Box & Robert the Doll

CFMITD: The Descent Episode 2: Return of the ScatHat Man (House Calls Ep 2: Ellington Home Invasion)

2025/06/24

Witches and Warlocks, our side quest begins. On this first episode of CFMITD Presents THE DESCENT (of cfmitd) we take a dive into another Zak Bagans project: House Calls. The show where Zak rings in for 30 minutes on zoom deep in his haunted museum and makes his minions do all the actual work. Watch as the boys welcome a girl on the team, a man drops a cross from his pocket and acts like it was a ghost, and Billy ends up owing Aaron some serious money. Join Joel and Erik as we honor a fallen friend and then do a ten minute bit about god and foreskin as we discuss House Calls, Episode 1: Crisis in Long Beach
