That's A Free Bee

We're diving into the hilariously bizarre world of the Emu War, where Australia took on a feathered foe that turned out to be tougher than expected. That’s right, 20,000 emus wreaked havoc on wheat farms, and in a case of misjudged bravado, the military was called in to save the day armed with machine guns and a plan that quickly spiraled into chaos. From guerrilla tactics executed by the emus to the military’s disastrous attempts at ambush, the story unfolds like a comedy of errors that leaves us both puzzled and amused. Alongside this absurd historical escapade, I’ll also share my recent wrist surgery saga and sprinkle in some gems of wisdom from children that are sure to tickle your funny bone. So, sit back, relax, and let’s explore the lessons from this wild chapter in history and some light-hearted moments from life!If you want even more then head to fluxo.media to see all my stuff and join That’s A Free Bee Plus.For only £4 a month you get:The members only feed, This includes the Pre Show and the Post Show, both include extra content that’s not in the final show.First access to specials.Members only discord.You get to be one of the first to support a new upand coming show, when I’m the next big thing you can say “I was there from the start” 🤣Keywords for YouTube:Emu War, Australian history, absurd military conflicts, emu facts, military failures, Great Depression Australia, farming challenges, humor in history, bizarre wars, children’s wisdom, surgery recovery, wrist surgery, machine guns in history, guerrilla tactics, Australian wildlife, historical anecdotes, military operations, humorous podcast episodes, parenting advice, health and recovery tips

Waterbeds, once the pinnacle of luxury that had us all dreaming of floating away into dreamland, have seen better days. We dive headfirst into the history of these infamous mattresses, tracing back to their origins when they were more about comfort for bedridden patients than romance. You'd think that sleeping on a giant bag of water would be nothing short of a blissful ride, right? Wrong!We explore the wild ride of waterbeds from their 22% market share in the '80s to a mere 5% today. It's a rollercoaster of nostalgia mixed with some serious reality checks about leaks and moving them. Who knew that the dream of waterbeds was just as fraught as trying to keep a straight face at a bad dad joke? We also share some wickedly funny anecdotes about our own experiences, or lack thereof, with waterbeds. So, grab your floaties and join us for some laughs and a good old-fashioned trip down memory lane!————————If you want even more then head to fluxo.media to see all my stuff and join That’s A Free Bee Plus.For only £4 a month you get:The members only feed, This includes the Pre Show and the Post Show, both include extra content that’s not in the final show.First access to specials.Members only discord.You get to be one of the first to support a new upand coming show, when I’m the next big thing you can say “I was there from the start” 🤣Keywords for YouTube:waterbeds, history of waterbeds, waterbed market, mattress trends, Charles Hall waterbed, waterbed innovations, 1980s waterbeds, waterbed maintenance, ice skating accident, wrist injury stories, morphine pain relief, parenting stories, humorous podcast, Dear Diggy questions, cultural icons in mattress industry, bed sore prevention, modern mattress technology, personal injury experiences, podcast comedy, Fluxo Media
