"Chester drawers!" Pete said, to which co-host Luke Craig corrected him "chest of drawers".
"F**k off. Is it? Is it chest of drawers?" Pete exclaimed.
"I thought it was chest of drawers. Chester drawers."
"Who's Chester?" Luke asked, giggling.
"I don't know... the type of drawers they are? They're all called chest of drawers," Pete insisted.
"No it's not chest of drawers, it's chest of drawers man!"
He then got his phone out to Google it, at which point he said "Oh my God, it's chest of drawers!"
"That's so annoying. I've said that like that my whole life!" he sighed.
"I don't know how I've never heard of that!"
But he quickly found out in the comments of the TikTok video of the podcast that he wasn't the only one to have made the mistake for years on end.

"I;ve literally just found out that it's not chester drawers!" a third exclaimed.
"It's chester drawers. That's what I've always called them!" someone else insisted.
As another wrote: "I've seen people getting dragged on fb marketplace for advertising 'chester drawers'."
While others used the comments to share their own wordy mishaps.

"I work a corporate job and only just realised that OOO stands for out of office and isn't just people making a giddy little noise about going on their holidays," one sighed.
"That's nothing. I spend years wondering why someone would call their kid 'Huge'…. Turns out it's not Huge Ackman!" another admitted.
"My missus thought chocolate éclairs was choclatey Clares," a third laughed.

Expert says look for penny with 'strange' error worth £600
Brits have been urged to check their loose change for a valuable penny coin worth up to £600 that has a "strange" error - and it can be very difficult to spot. Brits are being encouraged to keep their eyes peeled for a rare penny coin that could be worth a small fortune. This particular bronze coin, potentially fetching up to £600 at auction, boasts an unusual error that collectors covet. Spotting the flaw might prove challenging, yet it's certainly worth the search. A coin enthusiast, known on TikTok as the Coin Collecting Wizard, delved into the details. Showcasing a 1893 penny in a video, he said: "Hey no biggie, just another old penny worth £600. This penny has a date of 1893 and you need to check this one for a very strange error that makes the coin valuable." As reported by the Daily Record, the coin displays the customary Britannia figure on its reverse, trident in hand. The obverse features the familiar 'bun head' portrait of Queen Victoria. But what elevates its value is a peculiar mistake in the date. He continued: "Known as the '1893 over two penny' what you need to pay close attention to is the number '3'. As you can see under the number three it looks like there is the start of a number two." In his video, he pointed out where the three in 1893 appears to have an additional line emerging from its centre. "The best way to notice this is where the three joins up in the middle," he advised. "If it doesn't look like they join up neatly then you have found it. The obverse of the coin is the usual Queen Victoria bun head and the reverse is Britannia seated holding a trident." The specialist commented: "This is such a difficult error to spot but it is well worth your time as uncirculated versions of this coin have sold for £600." He further guided treasure hunters: "So just remember you are looking for an old English penny from 1893 but that's only the first part. The next bit you need to look for is that 'three over two error'." Adding a tip for his followers, he said: "Save this for future reference so you know exactly what to look for. Good luck." Despite over eight million being produced, the 1893 penny's value remains not just in the rarity of its errors; even standard versions fetch a tidy sum due to their age. At the time of reporting, the Dorset Coin Company was selling a mint condition version of the non-error coin for £275.

'I went to Wimbledon and was floored by price of strawberries and cream'
Wimbledon's strawberries and cream have been served at the tournament since it first started in 1877 and the dish proves to be popular year after year. The price took one customer by surprise Wimbledon, the oldest tennis championship in the world and one of the four Grand Slam events, is currently taking place. It's held annually at the All England Club in Wimbledon, southwest London, and is known for its traditional grass courts and strict all-white dress code for players. While watching tennis stars like Emma Raducanu and Novak Djokovic in action is the highlight of the event, the refreshments are also a big draw and the one food item most associated with Wimbledon is strawberries and cream. This classic summer combination has been served at the tournament since it began in 1877 and every year, hundreds of people in the crowd are spotted tucking into this fruity delight. The strawberries and cream alone are popular enough to make some spectators want to attend Wimbledon, like the TikTok user Sofia Petrillo. In a video on the social media platform she confessed: 'I don't know anything about tennis. I'm just here for the strawberries and cream if I'm being honest. 'Apparently these are insane so let's try Wimbledon's strawberries and cream.' Sofia was met with a huge queue of customers waiting in line to try the iconic dish, leading her to remark: 'I hope these are worth it.' She was pleased to see that the queue was 'moving pretty quickly' so she didn't have to wait too long for her strawberries and cream. Sofia couldn't believe how much it cost. One portion is £2.70 which she thought was very reasonable, considering how high food and drink prices usually are at major sporting events. She shared her first thoughts on the treat: 'I'm not gonna lie, it's not giving like any sort of aesthetic at all.' Even though she wasn't impressed with how the strawberries and cream looked, that didn't stop her from tasting it to see if it is 'worth the hype.' Sofia tried her first strawberry covered in cream and couldn't help but smile. She said: 'Mmm, wait, that's actually really refreshing. I feel like I would prefer it if it was just strawberries though. 'They're really good and they were only like £2.70.' After eating some more of the strawberries and cream, she decided 'they could definitely charge more, a hundred per cent.' Although Sofia was amazed by the price, it has actually increased by 20p from 2024 and it's also the first time the cost of the strawberries and cream has risen in 15 years. The Wimbledon website states: 'On average there are 200,000 portions of strawberries and cream enjoyed during The Championships!' For many years, Wimbledon has sourced its strawberries from Hugh Lowe Farms, a family-run business spanning about 500 hectares near Mereworth, just 31 miles away. Throughout the two weeks of the tournament, the farm delivers freshly picked strawberries to the grounds each morning.
