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

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.

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.

Chris & Dave gently place their thoughts on those not-so-new surfaces that people put their things on top of that ARE NOT BOOKCASES.

Buckle up as it descends into Chris' very strong thoughts towards stuff/crap, we also learn about the first ever funko pop (related), and these wannabe shelfologists work out what kind of shelf they are.
