"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.
