Tennis Balls: Keep One in Your Pocket (just in case)

Dave & Chris make a racquet by taking the small yellow Wimbledon balls and discovering the very unexpected influence David Attenborough had on them. They also find out why love is zero, how it feels to have one in your pocket and what bagels are. As standard, the long rally descends into a chat about sport small talk, snooker, football and golf because these boys are definitely 100% sports people who watch sport all the time. #sports Watch the match of faces and words on YouTube and Spotify.

The Common Ballpoint Pen: Our Ink Squidging Connection with The Universe

Chris & Dave doodle along with mouth words instead of ink shapes about a miracle of modern engineering that you definitely own at least one of: the common household ballpoint pen. As well as the fascinating history of that balltipped inker, we cover birthday cards, LEAKS, lids, and even tips on how to make your tiny ball tipped writers work again. PLUS SPACE PENS. We also include a bonus ASMR-lite pen twisting and clicking section for all you twistyclicky freaks out there. You can witness the pens we click on YouTube and Spotify.

Yawning: This will make YOU do that (sorry)

Dave & Chris can't stop opening their mouths, but you already know that. This time they are doing that tired (or scared?!) thing when they do it, and it turns out that nobody can agree WHY we do it. We share some theories, some rhymes, then somehow dive into hiccups, salt poisoning, and the reliability of Japanese trains.  WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS LOTS OF YAWNING AND WILL DEFINITELY MAKE YOU YAWN. You can see/judge our yawns on YouTube and Spotify.

What Makes a Perfect Remote? (More about Selectas)

Chris & Dave stay on the same channel by diving deeper into that quadrimagical object that controls the large screens in our lives.

Remote Controls (and what you call them)

Dave & Chris change the channel on that magical rectangle that doesn't even have a screen because it controls the big one! These two chizzits accidentally do a deep plonk into all of the amazing names the people of the UK call their TV guns and even come up with a BRAND NEW NICKNAME. To be continued...
