The best bit of business on Early Breakfast came from a listener called Millie, who introduced herself as “Millie the Milker” while surrounded by more than 100 cows. She wanted Kings of Leon’s Revelry played for her, and when Danny Mylo and Rosie Madison said the price for two of them wanting the song was two cows, Millie agreed on the spot. The pair had to clarify afterwards that the show “does not require any of your actual personal tax” and begged listeners not to post them cows.

Rosie had her own tale of beauty treatment gone wrong, turning up with a visible rash after getting her eyebrows threaded ahead of a CBBC trip to Glasgow this weekend. She said the technician’s reaction worried her: “She sucked in and it was like the exact same sound as when I needed new brake discs.” Danny compared the look to a superhero mask, prompting a run of listener voice notes about professionals who’ve reacted badly mid-treatment.

The weekend’s “team captain” competition, where a listener looks after the show’s reins until Monday, went to Andy from Maidstone, who impressed the pair with a plan to finish work, head to the Lake District and still get the “invisible crown” back in time via an “overnight carrier” on Sunday night. Rosie and Danny also played back a snippet of Greg James’s Unpopular Opinion from the previous day, in which a caller argued pet owners should call themselves their animal’s “flatmate” rather than mummy or daddy.
