Episode 43: She's Not A Vegetarian
🎙️ Welcome back to "That's a Free Bee," everyone! It’s Diggy here, buzzing through another episode filled with quirky insights and updates. 🐝
🔊 Ask a Free Bee Question: This week's question comes anonymously (for the last time, as I'll be ditching that word for good): What's your favorite coffee brewing method? Well, from the rarely used Nespresso to my go-to V60 pour-over and AeroPress, I navigate the complexities of my morning brew. Yes, sometimes it's just good old instant coffee, especially if that's what kicks off the day with ease!
🩺 Health Update: There's finally some good news on the health front. The hives have mostly retreated, and I'm experiencing less joint pain. With a medication adjustment on the horizon, I'm hopeful this new regimen brings more relief. Plus, a surprising reaction from the kids to my clean-shaven look due to the hives — apparently, I resemble a thumb now!
🚗 A Little Adventure: In a quest to get some fresh air, a trip to the car wash turns educational as I explain the importance of a radio aerial to my kids, who can't fathom why everything isn't internet-based. It was a teachable moment for sure, topped off with their disbelief that you can actually buy IKEA meatballs to enjoy at home!
🍔 Culinary Confessions: Speaking of food, this episode dives into the peculiar eating habits at home, especially my daughter's claim of being a 'vegetarian' who doesn't quite embrace vegetables or understand the full spectrum of what meat entails. It's a merry mix-up that brings light-hearted challenges to dining out.
🎼 What Goo Talking About: Our rotating regular section this week features fascinating finds from around the web, including a glimpse into how newborns appear on shows like 'Call the Midwife.' Ever wondered about the logistics behind those adorable TV babies? It's more intricate and interesting than you might expect!
📚 Pick of the Week: Venturing into literary lands, this month's book club selection at work is "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" by Gillian McAllister. Dive into this intriguing tale where a mother finds herself time-traveling to prevent a crime committed by her son. It's a page-turner that pairs mystery with a mind-bending exploration of maternal love and fate.
📺 Thank You: As always, a huge thank you to all listeners, whether you're tuning in through YouTube or your favorite podcast platform. Your engagement and feedback fuel this show and genuinely make a difference. Remember, hitting like, leaving reviews, and subscribing are great ways to support us.

Episode 42: Cold Turkey!
🎙️ Hey Free Bees, it's Diggy! Welcome back to another episode of "That's a Free Bee," where I dive into some personal health updates and debunk some common misconceptions. Plus, we'll tackle another intriguing "Ask a Free Bee" question. 🐝
🎶 Taylor Swift's New Album: Kicking things off, Todd asked about the new Taylor Swift album. Honestly, I'm more of an audiobooks and podcasts guy, so I haven't given it a listen. Music isn't really my jam—sorry to disappoint the music lovers out there!
🚑 Health Update - Going Cold Turkey: Big news on the health front: I'm adjusting my chronic medication regimen. After nearly eight years, it's time for a change due to a potential intolerance. Starting this week, I’m phasing out my current meds, which is quite daunting. I'll keep you posted on this journey—wish me luck!
🎥 Video Podcast Updates: Considering the future of our video content due to low viewership. Might focus more on audio and shorts. Stay tuned as I mull over this decision!
🔍 AI Question of the Week: Thanks to Perplexity AI for this week's question about the most embarrassing song on my playlist.
🍴 New Segment - Common Misconceptions: Introducing a new segment this week! Ever thought searing meat sealed in moisture? Think again! Plus, we debunk myths about Twinkies’ shelf life and food expiration dates. Learning something new every time!
📢 Gripe of the Week: This week's gripe goes to charity door knockers. Love the cause, not so keen on the pushy tactics, especially when they involve the kids. It's a tricky balance!
🌟 Pick of the Week: Instead of recommending the hyped TV show "Fallout," I'm going with something lighter—Bluey! It's perfect for all ages and available on Disney+. Don't miss it!
📚 Story Time: Ending with a quirky tale about Rudolf the Red, a Viking known for predicting weather.
