Why does this thing exist? (Podcast)

In this episode, Dean reads you an email with a surprising twist and then Simon presents you with his ugly mug. The programme ends with them almost learning something in the Random Wikipedia Article. Almost but not quite.

In this episode, Dean and Simon decide to dedicate an episode to graffiti for no apparent reason. Dean shows Simon some very offensive and possibly libellous messaging he saw on a lamppost in Cardiff and then Simon shows Dean some of that street art that they have in Bristol. Then, at the end of the show, they both decide to think the worst of someone and reminisce about Jersey.

In this episode, Dean and Simon remember a song from their childhood which might have contributed to them being such porky little boys. Simon then takes Dean shopping in the grotesque-cat-grooming-apparatus aisle over at Amazon dot com. They finish of by listing values and places in an odd little Random Wikipedia Section.
