Strap in for a wild ride through chaotic hospital visits, airborne fundraising disasters, and philosophical questions about the value of metal. Oh—and someone may have prank-called a stranger 30 times from the bath.

This week’s highlights include:

💨 Make Me Laugh:

🎈 PodTales – BalloonFest ‘86:

• The United Way’s record-breaking balloon release over Cleveland.
• 1.5 million balloons in the sky—what could possibly go wrong? (Answer: everything.)

🏥 Hospital Waiting Room Mayhem:

• A final wrist check-up turns into a full-blown admin disaster.

🛁 Sound Healing & Accidental Prank Calls:

• Can oat baths and ambient audio soothe chronic urticaria?
• Also, how to (accidentally) call a stranger 30 times using a £4 bathroom speaker.

🚲 Bike Rack Fiasco:

• The kids finally learn to ride—but the new bike rack only fits adult bikes.
• A “universal fit” turns into a universal fail.
• Some bonus DIY and mild rage included.

💎 A Very Pricey Charm:

• A trip to Pandora reveals the shocking truth: numbers cost more than hearts.
• I channel my inner grumpy economist and questions reality.

This week on That’s a Free Bee — what do a thieving cat, a soggy tram seat, and the sound of rain have in common? Honestly, too much.

• Bob from Nebraska actually makes me laugh. You’ll have to hear the joke for yourself.
• Meet Dusty the Klepto Kitty, who stole everything but your heart (because he already had that too).
• I reflect on eating better, giving up McDonald’s (sort of), and how coffee points have powered my mornings.
• Ever sat in orange juice on public transport? I have. Learn my tram seat safety tip—your butt will thank you.
• School admin chaos: Our ongoing saga navigating SEND placement gets another thrilling twist.
• Listener Susie shares her battle with chronic urticaria and angioedema—and a surprising new therapy: sound healing.
• I talk about my own experience using the Endel app to help with focus, productivity, and potentially even flare-up relief.

What happens when animals infiltrate the education system? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today! We’re uncovering the ridiculous yet fascinating world of pets that have somehow earned diplomas, from cats with MBAs to dogs with medical degrees. I mean, if a pug can snag an MBA, maybe we should all rethink our student loans, right? We also share some chuckles with a new segment called "Make Me Laugh," where I test out jokes submitted by you guys—fair warning, my laughter gauge might be a bit skewed! Plus, I’ll catch you up on my recent adventures, including a chaotic bank holiday trip to a farm that turned out to be more of a playground than a petting zoo. So grab your headphones and prepare for a wild ride through the world of overqualified animals and my own not-so-glamorous car troubles!
