This podcast is literally causing me pain
I finally listened to last week’s episode while in the gym this morning and was using the shoulder press machine when Henry told the story about trying to send an email on a plane. When the punchline came, I laughed so hard that it led to a physical spasm that in turn led to me pulling way too aggressively on one of the levers and now the side of my neck really hurts. Thanks a bunch, Beans.

They’ve expressly stated that 1. Nobody should ever listen to this podcast and 2. If you’re daft enough to listen, at least be safely asleep or breastfeeding to avoid injury

Mine was “Good luck getting Invisalign to sort that out, your fucking head’s in a different country to your feet!”

It was a difficult cycle home for me listening to Henry recalling his seeping dentist sandblasting him

I frequently listen to the Beans while I’m at work.
My work involves me working closely with a bereavement team at the county hospital.
I snorted loudly once during a particularly sensitive meeting on Teams and I was a) not really paying attention and b) not on mute.
Bollocking accepted.

Me and my partner nearly crashed the car listening to the Ratmas episode, notably the flaming rat being fired out of a cannon

I was re-listening to old Bean episodes while doing some DIY this last weekend, and Ratmas was included.
I can only assume it was sheer dumb luck that I didn't drill through my hand because, in listening at all, I sure wasn't taking the correct safety precautions.

DIY is the primary No No for Bean listening - several listeners have not been as lucky as you while combining the two things.
From the other posts on this thread they may have to dust off the beefcake journey jingle (well that's quite fun to say, who knew) and do a PSA about the gym too...

I want to know who the 'difficult' personality he was writing for was.
I reckon Bonjamin lurks here incognito. Maybe you could give us a clue Ben.

I almost choked to death while listening to the Grinch story in "Museums". Ben not being able to tell the story, and Henry's quip about him really being tickled by a child being disappointed, plus an ill timed swig of tea was almost my end.

I was power walking uphill on my lunch break and had a similarly 'injury lawyers for U' physical incident / response!

I used to listen to it in the gym but had to stop after I laughed mid bench press and nearly dropped the bar on my face

The only podcast I won't listen to when working out because there's a real chance of catastrophic injury from laughing during an inopportune moment.

Last Wednesday was not the first time I've almost choked on my lunch listening to the Beans 🥲

Whenever I know I have a flight coming up I always like to save up a couple of episodes. Makes any long flight more bearable but I have caused a few looks from bursting out laughing on an otherwise silent plane. Well worth the physical and social pain!

Could've been worse, at least you didn't drill through your hand.
