The hosts of Three Bean Salad record a brief, apologetic episode on a "5th Wednesday," a date they jokingly claim should not exist. They discuss the ongoing "Bernemane" political meme and its impact on their usual content, noting that Keir Starmer is scheduled to speak at the Labour Party conference shortly. As a result, they cancel the standard episode but direct listeners to a new Patreon bonus release. The segment concludes with a lighthearted, pessimistic outlook on the approaching month of October, describing it as damp and serious.
