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

You can see our faces and the things we talk about on Spotify and YouTube.
