Summary

The presumably unreconstructed Nick of Chicago feeds “Old Wives’ Tales” into the Bean Machine which spew-jects it just at the moment the beans are after a topic so that’s what it is. Is there no such thing as an “Old Husbands’ Tale” because husbands have no tales? Or because they typically die younger and therefore before reaching tale-telling maturity? The beans don’t know and make no effort to go into it whatsoever.

With thanks to our editor Laura Grimshaw.

0:37.1	You like to have a little gnatur quite often before I join.
0:39.8	It's the best bit of the day.
0:41.0	It's the best bit of the day for everyone.
0:42.4	For all that as well.
0:43.2	I thought, if the fans already on when I join,
0:48.8	Ben might not notice.
0:49.9	A bit like the way no one notices when fridges are on.
