Simon and Lee discuss Simon's experience of a root canal. Lee chimes in with buying a car and a bit about optometrists.

Things they discuss: Simon having a root canal, dealing with the unknown, teachers (for example) keeping in mind how unfamiliar an experience is and how important that is, getting the giggles while at the dentist, down-dogging to the dentist, Tonya Harding the shit out of the others, having five canals, not really knowing what a root canal is, three different approaches from people before Simon had the treatment, giving reassurance, buying a car online and having it delivered, Lee's list of five dream sofas, Simon's first job in a sports shoe store (in 1986?) and not having the necessary expertise (or training), Simon's reading glasses frames, not going to Specsavers, going to an independent Optometrist, the root canal not yet being finished, the possibility of getting a tooth prosthesis (followed by an inappropriate joke that Lee didn't edit out), Simon's incisors, Toothsavers, tooth-hurty, tooth infections, Sir Andy Murray and other Scottish lookalikes, Pamela and Fabio's wedding in Sardegna, auguri, Lil's linguistic advantages, those things called facts, male pattern building, dancing at the wedding, dancing like someone who can dance (and better than Andy Murray), antibiotics, and pre-emptive antibiotics (in case of emergency), probiotics.
