Why have people throughout human history drawn penises everywhere? What compels (usually) dudes to mark dirty cars, classroom desks, and their sleeping friend’s forehead with penis art? Much to Kathleen’s delight, Bethany goes through examples of dick-scriptions, from ancient archeological finds to current day. Plus, she goes into the psychology behind why people draw them!

Plus, Bethany goes off on tripod lamps, because how dare they?
