Episode 113: "The jazz of reading"
Ep. 113
•
In this episode, Dean and Simon get all cheesy as they watch a man waste food and then they have a look at some cubic dogs. This week's Random Wikipedia Article section brings up the rear as information on a historic publishing company leads to a discussion of poetry, peep-hole publicans and the mildly erotic French arts.
