But It Was Aliens

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a dirty demon that just might be lurking in your bathroom. If you drop a noisy one, this thing might come for you. This creature has been around since before time and has caused chaos through olden times and modern times. In fact, you could say that when s**t goes down, the Šulak will usually be there. If the Šulak slaps you, this could leave a mark not just on your face but on the very function of your brain. Sure, some people may claim that this was just an early explanation for disease related to poor bathroom hygiene, pre-science, but can those same people explain the deaths of many well-known historical figures without Šulak? Science isn’t that powerful, folks, but Šulak is. Or are they? Don’t ask us about “sweet baby Jesus” because we genuinely have no idea. Keep up your cardio and you should be able to… All that and more on this week’s file.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether Santa Claus is evil. Is Santa an evil alien? This one dates back to before the Common Era and is evidenced in the Bible itself (Jeremiah 7:31, Leviticus 18:21 and Isaiah 63: 2-3). We move from the Bible to modern pop music as we outline a trail of evil hidden in plain sight. Every time Santa did bad and was noticed, Santa changed their name and moved on! Amidst that, we reflect on Christmas past. Alongside this, it is asked… Is Stranger Things worth watching? Mr Moonwalker has yet to confirm that he’s watched Squid Game, either (just saying). Can children sense true evil, before they are corrupted by the world? All that and more on this week’s file. But more importantly, Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! #probe

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the Betz Sphere. This metallic bowling ball turned up in Fort George Forman Grill Island in Florida in 1974. Was this sphere responsible for the fire that may or may not have burnt down the Betz’s house? Regardless, the life of the Betz family was thrown in to chaos as the media got hold of this story and sooner or later, Dr J. Allen Hynek got involved. The Navy also took a special interest. Would such bodies be interested if something fishy wasn’t going on? Alongside that this episode ponders Pogs. Do you folks remember Pogs? After the first couple of minutes folks may want to skip to about 10 minutes 30 seconds in because oh my that was a tangent… All that and more on this week’s file.

Kōji also composed the Staff Roll aka Credits Theme from 1990-1992’s Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the most haunted doll in the world, the world famous Robert The Doll. This doll has about four origin stories and we cover the most likely as well as a few less verifiable. Regardless, this is one old and creepy looking thing that has allegedly messed with people for more than a century at time of recording in late 2023. It is said that Robert Eugene ‘Gene’ Otto always had an unhealthy relationship with Robert the Doll and indeed, the doll appears to have been cared for much like a human. Did Robert return that care? There have been hundreds of witnesses to the power of Robert and those powers continue to this day as less thoughtful, less considerate individuals visit Robert in his current residence and take photos of Robert, without asking for permission. Those same individuals can experience misery until they write to Robert The Doll, apologising. The episode covers theories to explain these incidents including a voodoo curse, demon, negative energy manifesting and pure simple bad luck. But is Robert really responsible for misery, injury, divorce and death? All that and more on this week’s file.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the life and times of Tim Cullen, an allegedly true psychic who saw events before they happened and can definitely prove this. It all started on April Fools Day 1978 and went on past 1998 and possibly in to the 200’s. But did Tim really have a kidney bean removed from his arm aka hand aka pet? How long does it take to be seen in the Hospital Accident and Emergency department? All that and more on this weeks file.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the ancient First Nation legend of the Adlet. This cryptid is half-human, half-dog and totally crazy. The creature originates from a dalliance between a lady and a dog and from there, it doesn’t get much better. Are these monsters friend or foe? Are Adlet deadly fighters or are they too distractible because some doggy needs simply can’t be silenced? Another possibility is that these things are mixed up with the legend of the Dogman and that of the Werewolf. Or perhaps all these creatures are the same thing? Mr Moonwalker tries to explain this one away but he simply can’t deny the FACTS. Alongside that, we ponder as to whether Mr Moonwalker would be the big spoon or the little spoon (we all know the answer). Do wolves get their butts out? All that and more on this week’s file.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the life and times and afterlife and after times of legendary Gentleman Pirate, Stede Bonnet. Stede is kind of renowned in the 2020’s as having been a bit of a cr*p pirate, but was Stede really that bad? We’ll find out for in this episode we will probe all that Stede got up to from his early life to Stede’s marriage, possible difficulties that Stede had going on as outlined by North Carolina Maritime Museum archaeologist David Moore and that nagging feeling that Stede had. The call of the seas, if you will. Stede would answer that call and we have lots of records of the booty-looting Stede got up to from that point onwards. Along the way, as we’ve covered before, Stede got a little help from his friends. Well, an allegedly true friend, if you will (again). A black bearded friend, if you will, will, will (again, again). But when the heat would be on, the fleet would be gone for that friend had a cunning plan. Stede does not appear to have been party to that plan. But what happened to Stede after that? Stede held a grudge and revenge prospers no person it would appear because two shakes of a Stede later, Stede would be begging for his own life. There may also have been a cunning escape somewhere along the line and this one was the stuff of movies. Ultimately though, Stede would succumb to a grizzly death and be left to roam the world… All that and more on this week’s file.
