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.

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!
