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.
