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.

You can see/judge our yawns on YouTube and Spotify.

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

These two old men accidentally avoid getting into the history of the doofah and instead establish what you need for a perfect zapper and ways to avoid losing them.

You can see our chins wag on YouTube and Spotify, where you can also find part one, if you want to (plus whatever you're listening to this podcast one now).
