The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe penis-snatching. Mr Moonwalker today makes the choice that Kev in the John, never, had. Twice. In 2023 Nigeria, the most awful of pandemic’s broke out. Worse than life-ending disease, this pandemic resulted in people temporarily losing their penis. It’s not just d*cks either, for some folks were losing nipples. These incidents have resulted in much pain and suffering via mob justice. There have also been police prosecutions related to these cases of vanishing penis. Alongside these horrific events we ponder whether a micropenis is the size of a nose? If you had the power to inflict people with a micro-organ, would you use it? Ultimately we ask whether this unusual epidemic was a case of aliens, a cryptid, demons, voodoo, a ghost, or telekinesis? Then we give Mr Moonwalker a gift he will never forget. All that and more on this week’s file.

Drinking rules:

Kev filled the research notes with photos and artwork of the common human penis. Many, many hogs. These hogs were not directly referenced in the research, they were just hanging around. Every time Mr Moonwalker commented on any such image, he had to do a shot aka a mini-Moonie.
