- Not a normal episode (humma-heyyaaa).
- The only podcast to take a full month off after every two months of podcasts, much like cows in a field stop being cows for a month and focus on personal projects: writing policies for the UK government (or is Henry the policy wonk?).
- Plans for May: Henry – writing for the next series (heavily scripted), balgorithms using AI tech; Ben – putting together a writers' room with Bernie Taupin; Mike – writing using obscure passages from the Old Testament ('salt the earth').
- Henry needs clarification of who Bernie Taupin is. Extraordinary that Bernie delivers the song wholesale and he and Elton just respect each other's craft.
- Henry sings 'Monkey Times' (not as successful as 'Rocket Man'), which Ben compares to watching McCartney pull 'Get Back' out of his arse.
- Henry watched a freestyle Rap Battle (street word of mouth? wordplay?) online and came up with a theory that it was like Whose Line Is It Anyway in that you choose the word you're getting to and work back.
- Henry asks for a topic for a song: bleach (not beach) (Mike does not drop a beat, too cringeworthy). He rhymes 'expectant' with 'disinfectant'.
- Is Henry getting rid of thought? Next step: crab.
- Ben gives Henry 'CCTV' as the next theme for a rap but the same rhyme comes out (under the gaze of CCTV).
- Mike gives Henry 'cashmere' but Henry has lost interest and won't be making it big in the Rap Battle scene after all.
- Henry finishes with a cashmere rhyme nonetheless: lost my edge/high wool percentage.
