In this episode, Dean presents Simon with a truly mysterious artefact of unknown provenance. Any information the listener can provide on the matter will be gratefully received. Simon shows Dean a tube that can help him shape his meat into a nice sausage shape and then they speculate wildly about a retired sportswoman, rudely insult Dutch cuisine and patronisingly compliment the Dutch people on their ability to speak English.

In this episode, Dean and Simon draw on their detective instinct to speculate about a discarded box of Viagra that Dean found frozen on the pavement. They continue the wintery theme by taking a look at a daft product that’s meant to protect a specific part of your body from the cold and then finish off by being dismissive of a ground-breaking scientist’s achievements.
