- RMT strikes mainly because they are being forced to work on the fifth Wednesday of a month, the concept of which might even be Jurassic.
- Ben goes into suspended animation, Henry cocoons himself in a "chrysalis of gob".
- Nothing happens on a fifth Wednesday, for example the tides stop, Paul McCartney stops producing retrospective Beatles material etc.
- This is NOT an episode but there is admin (it's recorded beforehand so that is ok).
- Robots can work on the 5th Wednesday building their subterranean lava palace.
- Get well and birthday shout out for Mel Anderson.
- Ben interrupts information about live show tickets because all the tickets have gone to Patreon pre-sale (Beans did not expect this).
- Henry reveals some of the live show special effects (Abba show rejects).
- Ben reveals they will be in the big room, it is a hubris event.
- If you livestream after the event is it live?
- Last year's livestream was just hundreds of people writing "horse" and "honce".
- Saturday night starts at 4.30pm, perfect time to get to Zizzis and Phantom afterwards.
- Talk about a package deal where Elaine Paige takes you home in her mini-bus.
- Zizzi dumps ("salami dump fug") - Zizzi and Phantom synergy.
- The Bean live show will be the prequel for Phantom, and on the 17th it's a bean-themed show (Beango!) where Sarah Brightman is lowered onto the stage in a box of water, which she escapes from. She starts running but she has a large pepper grinder on her back, but she always goes to Zizzi because she is medically addicted.
- Last year Mike wore flip-flops and Ben had restless legs (nervous energy went into his knees). Henry suggests this year for BP to channel the nervous energy into his crotch.
- Henry has discovered sandals and also that he has foot-encasing athletes foot.
- Henry also has toothache (Mike suggests this is referred pain from his feet).
- Martin Kemp may be replacing Henry at the live show.
- Reminder that this is NOT an episode.
- Digestive Tract Talk (11.36)
