#fingers crossed they'll still only be around S5E7 or so around that time

If they don't skip any weeks starting from next week and do only rewatch episodes (and that's a BIG if), they should drop S5 E11 Mac and Charlie Write a Movie on Monday 17 April. Since it seems like they only record a week in advance, if they did do episodes of Sunny at the live shows on 16th and 17th, they would be covering The Gang Reignites the Rivalry and potentially A Very Sunny Christmas because the DVD came out after season 5.

However, we know they want to do an episode with Marder and Rosell (which I am obviously looking forward to). Meg's also been planning to have Artemis on for months now, but there were scheduling issues last year. The filming period now might be their best chance to have on recurring cast members, writers and production staff on the podcast. They might have Uncle Jack or the Charmac mums on and season 5 might get them thinking of Brian Unger again...

Anyway, when was the last time they did a stretch of 9 episodes without any bonus content episodes in between lol?! I looked at the last 20 episodes and 50% of them have been non-recap/rewatch/commentary episodes, so if they continue with this trend, there's a good chance they won't be far enough along with season 5 to do Mac & Dennis Break Up in Dublin or London. This is the one thing giving me hope.

April 16/17 is distant enough that they may be done editing a few episodes by that point. Might they preview season 16 at the live shows then, considering they've shown episodes at events like San Diego Comic Con a couple of months before airing them on FX?

if they do mac and dennis break up at one of those love shows i am going to nuke the entire continent of europe
