Before she was a WBC champion throwing punches on the world stage, Chloe Chaos was a shaved-head kid from Melbourne's outer north — taekwondo champion, angry at a world she couldn't make sense of and carrying a grief no twelve-year-old should ever know.

In this raw and wide-ranging conversation, Neil sits down with the professional boxer and all-round firecracker to unpack the story behind the name. Chloe takes us back to the moment everything changed — when her best friend Asia was killed by her own father the night before year seven — and how that single act of violence quietly shaped the fighter, the protector, and the survivor she would become.

Eslana Lower has rebuilt herself from the ground up - more than once. Raised in housing commission poverty, subjected to abuse and neglect from the age of five, she left home at fifteen with nothing and spent years forging herself into a nurse, a midwife and a mother of four. She had survived everything life had thrown at her. Until the morning she lost her daughter Rylee.

Eslana speaks about Rylee's life, her death, and what it means to survive something you were sure you couldn't. She talks about the online grooming that went undetected, the Snapchat bullying that told her daughter there was no place in the world for her and the four months it took before the family could access Rylee's messages.

He grew up in Broadmeadows, survived abuse, lived on the streets as a teenager, and ended up in Boggo Road Prison at seventeen — and somehow came out the other side as one of Australia's most unique entrepreneurs.

Bill Edgar is the man they call The Coffin Confessor. For a fee, he'll crash your funeral and read the message you were too scared to deliver in life. But that's just one chapter in a story Neil could barely believe — from sleeping in shopping centre change rooms and bowling alleys on the Gold Coast, to house-sweeping the possessions of the elderly before the family vultures move in.

This is a bloke who went from a stolen school uniform to a 42-year marriage, from jail at seventeen to an internationally recognised career built on death, dignity, and telling the truth. Neil sits down with Bill Edgar for a conversation that's raw, darkly funny, and at times genuinely hard to hear.
