They eat Christmas trees, they make humming noises and yes, they do spit but only for a good reason!

Alpacas are a mysterious animal and Dermot and Dave got to the bottom of the fuzzy beauties with Ellie Moonan of the Boyne Valley Alpaca Farm who also explained why they'll be eating our Christmas trees this year!

And at the end of the week, we'll be doing a special Mind Yourself Now panel, which will answer your questions.

It's that time of the year when friends and family who haven't been in touch pick up the phone and make the call, and that's no different for our pal Tony Cascarino.

It's been a weird and wonderful year, and we're just talking about what falls out of our Dermot's head.

It's a cold evening, it's raining sheets and you have watching telly for so long that Netflix are considering sending someone over to the house to see if you've been eaten by your couch. You know you need to leave the house and get out for a walk or run but you just do not want to.

The question is, if we know exercise is good for us, why have we evolved to avoid it?

Daniel Liberman is a Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University and he's written a new book which looks at the world that has left a lot of people anxious, worried and harassed by the commercialisation of exercise.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Daniel revealed how it's not a sign of laziness if you struggle to find the motivation to work out. It's human nature.

And also how he once raced against horses. Yes. Really.

Daniel's book 'Exercised: The Science of Physical Activity, Rest and the Pursuit of Health' is out now...

The puns...they write themselves!

Jeff McCarthy, who lives in Finland, got in touch with Dermot and Dave after he discovered something of a miracle involving his goldfish.
