For years we've discussed dropping the Side Probe from the archives where we met a penis in a jar and now the time has come... For the ears of all, here is that historic episode where we probe Rasputin. Oh my, there is a lot to get through here and we brought it all to you in a single extended episode. The rumours say that Rasputin was a man of paranormal abilities but was he really? We establish that the Tsar or Czar, Nicolas (the Second) Romanov, had a regal moustache before diving straight in to Rasputin’s origin story. What is it about Rasputin’s eyes? Was Nickelodeon around in the early 1900’s? Or had the miracle healing powers of Rugrats plasters not been invented yet? Did you know that Rasputin actually changed his name? You’ll never believe what to as it’s such a big departure from Rasputin but why did he do it? Unfortunately, eventually, Rasputin would one day discover that with great power comes great responsibility. Once he did, where did Rasputin’s dick supposedly end up? All that and more on this episode from the archives. Sorry about the sound quality...

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe our most mischievous but kind of pointless festive trouble-makers yet, the Christmas Goblins. Known in ancient antiquity such as ancient greek culture as Kallikantzaros, these things have been rodeo’ing strangers and weeing on flowerbeds in between trying to cause the end of the world. For millennia. But can we find any evidence of their existence? What if we told you that we can? Allegedly. Truthfully. If you were born on one of the twelve days of Christmas, you just might turn in to one of these creatures. Unless someone singed your toes as a baby… All that and more on this week’s episode (released two days earlier than usual - Happy Christmas probers).

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a red light in the sky above Nanesti, Romania, witnessed by many. But also not captured by any. Was this a military device or spy technology, or was this of extraterrestrial origin? It was accompanied by a power cut. Does that make it more or less likely to be of extraterrestrial origin? Do you believe in ASFAN? All that and more on this episode.
