That was your proud of my... Okay, that was that. I was proud, I was so proud of you for that. These aren't secrets. It's all of my show. Second question. Why don't we say E DGE out loud?

And that's the first part of their question. Yeah. That's from Kea and Edinburgh. We don't, oh, so... The EG is a radio station. The radio station we used to work for. That's a giant list. Yeah, we used to work on...

The radio station or the edge. On the Hedge. Cuff. Pre me, I never did. I've never did. Rocked up here. And then we were poached. We were poached.

We were poached. We were lured across to work for ZM Radio. Yeah. And it was a whole thing. Yeah. It's just an ongoing joke. Yeah. Why we don't say it.

Oh, we don't say that word around here. But how long has it been now? Because it's between 12 years because August was 12. Yeah. And August was born just after we started here. Twelve years of early mornings. Look at this face. It's falling off.

I think you're doing all right for 12 years of early mornings. I simply won't last. Pretty rich because we're just. started in Vaughan Bales had a few days off. I was like, this is so fucked. Oh, with his baby. With a baby, yeah. That's fucked.

Isn't that fucked? Yeah. That's fucked. I'm just meant to work by myself. Do you know what that is? That's selfish. Whereas when I get a new cat, there's no catternity. No, exactly. It is as perternity.

Or paternity. Paternity. Just like if we need some equal, you know, let's get some fortuneity. Yeah, I think so. That's feminism because it's about equality. Well, just five three days. It all comes out in the wash. You didn't have to pay another $85 for a school sweatshirt that you just paid $85 for because somebody lost it.

Yeah, and you don't get to go to Paris. That's exactly. You know what I mean? I don't get to go to Paris and I have to buy another school uniform and I get a few measly days off right at the start. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Keir, who's in Edinburgh, also asks Hayley or any plans on playing Edinburgh Fringe? I've done Edinburgh Fringe like 10 years ago. For people that don't know, it's the start of Baby Rindier, eh?

Yeah, baby Rindier. saw, like, it's really, yeah, it's massive. And then I did it pre, kind of being good at comedy, and I struggled. And then I got into television, and now I'm back doing comedy. I'd love to go to Edinburgh,

but I can't take a month off of radio. Absolutely not. I'm a corporate slut, you know? But if you did, if you broadcast from Edinburgh, it'd be like evening, which is when you'd kind of be playing. I know, but I take the piss a bit with work. And I do like a month in Australia as well, and that's a little bit closer to home and a goal I want to tick off.

I will do Edinburgh once I leave here. I'll bring the Edinburgh studio in my suitcase and I'll stay there as well. Because it's August. So when we holiday in July as we are now, just stay there. You just stay here, I reckon. No.

No. You can't afford it. You've got kids. You can't afford what we can afford. You've got kids. You've got kids. How much money would you spend on feeding a child for the week? I don't know.

Couple hundred? Yeah, probably a couple of hundred. Do you know how that's a bag of meth for Haley? Were you on mess now? Haley! I'm not on it, yeah. Haley! I'm going to get bored of the vices I do have.

Don't try meth. She could, is my point. I'm asking you, please, both of you. Just because you don't have children doesn't mean you should be doing meth. But it's no way. It wouldn't be terrible because I'm not a mother. People do judge mums. Harsher.

Yeah, they do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Those are today's today's. Those are today's questions. We'll be back tomorrow with another couple. They got laughs, they got tears, they got meth, everything.
