It turns out that even Sir David Attenborough can't teach us anything about curling.

BBC Radio's Greg James convinced the legendary British nature documentary narrator to provide an alternative commentary for winter's most mysterious sport. It won't clear up anything over how curling is played, but the giggles make up for it.

If the above YouTube clip isn't working for you, try the one below.

Attenborough takes his usual scientific nature doc approach to the sport, imagining it as a complicated animalistic ritual. His famous voice explains how a pack of "sliding curlers" mark their territory: The alpha female tosses an "oversized walnut" down a "frozen river" while the herd "gently frisks the foreground."

Anyway, Attenborough's commentary will probably make more sense to you than NBC's announcers.
