Summary

With Chris currently fixing up his fixie for a two-wheeled jaunt across Northern Japan, we thought we'd take a step back in time to those home-based records during Covid - starting with Sharla and Chris figuring out what the best mackerel-based hotel is, followed up by Dogen telling us all how to perform the very best backflip, and the best way to learn Japanese!


Pete and Chris will return Thursday for the next show!

We thought we'd dip into the archives, so a little COVID-era Charlotte and Chris action from 2020.

1:24.6

This may very well have been recorded around about five years ago, but doesn't Chris sound young here?
