Episode Date: March 12, 2023

Hey guys! Sean and Soph here, this week on the bottomless brunch podcast we cover everything big that happened in pop culture! 

This is a podcast from Rover. We don't want you thinking too hard on a Saturday morning. So kick back and let us get you up to speed on everything that's bigger music and pop culture right now. This is the Edge Bottomless Brunch with Sean and Sof. Hey morning, baby. Thanks for coming back, Sean. I thought you weren't going to show your face again. Yeah, no, that was just that I was sick.

Oh, I thought you decided that you were going to become an alpaca razor. I, no, I looked into it. They're quite expensive. You need a lot of seed money to start off. No, so you better come back here where we get no food, no drinks and slippery. Yeah, until I can save enough money to buy my first two alpacas. Coming up, we are breaking down the biggest news stories of the week.

Can we start off on a personal note? Oh, yeah. I've got a, you know how I feel the need to constantly add new personality traits so that I'm not too beige? You are the, Crocs were a personality trait for a while, then basketball, then you had the pearls going on. you're like, this is my personality trait. What's the new one?

Well, I'll tell you about it next. Okay. I think this is the biggest yet. Whoa. I'm becoming a different person. A lawn guy. I'm evolving. Oh, nah, not a lawn guy.

Bottomless brunch with Sean and Sov. So if you know how I always feel the need to, like, add different personality traits so that I'm a more interesting human? Yeah, you know, multifaceted, some would call it. You just have many areas of yourself that you really rely on to give you personality. Yeah, exactly. This week I bought a motorbike. I've sold my car Sean

Yeah I bought a motorbike I've never really ridden a motorbike Why did you buy a motorbike? Because it sort of made me cool Also it seems fun Sounds like fun to ride around And you give me Might join a gang

Okay where do I start You give me so much shit For stuff I wanted Yesterday you came into my show When I was like I want to get into gaming And you're like Oh you can't game You've gone and bought a motorbike

one, incredibly dangerous Two, you don't know how to drive a motorbike Three, it rains a lot in Auckland Why? You know what? I deserved all of that And as my friend, thank you for calling me out Always, that is one thing I will always do Let's see how it goes

Have you driven it yet? I got my learner's licence Okay, but have you driven it yet? I take it up this afternoon Oh my God Oh my God, we're not going to have you at bottomless brunch next week And the first thing I have to do is drive it on the motorway to get it home.

Oh no, Sean. So I'll let you know how it goes, but yeah, I'm that biker guy now. Okay. Fam, I don't know, do I need to change the way I look? I could probably wear more Harley T's. Definitely more leather. Some leather, some Harley T's. I might grow up beard.

Do you have a helmet? Yeah, of course. Do you have leather pants? No. Okay. Do you have leather jacket? Yeah, I got a leather jacket. Is all your skin going to be covered?

Yep, yep. Bottomless brunch with Sean and Soe. You're now a bad boy. I do like this as like a background song. And you've said, you know what? If you're going to add another personality trait, I might do the same. Yeah. I want something new to my personality.

And I feel like something like a motorbike becomes part of your personality. You are the motorbike guy. Yeah. So I thought we'd have a quick brainstorm. Okay. What personality traits or what things become personality traits of people. So you know, for instance, if you're a cross fitter, that is your personality trait.

If you're a vegan, that comes across as your personality trait. So what are some things that I could add that could enhance my personality? Well, you've taken my first two suggestions right there. Veganism and CrossFit. Okay. I was going to say you could become someone who's super into gardening. Ah, like a gardener. A botanist of sorts?

A botanist or an arborist. I could cut some trees. Yes, gardening. I'm not. I kill a lot of plants, so maybe next one. You have talked a lot about wanting to get into streaming video games, which is ironic because you don't really play video games. I've never played them in my life, actually.

We chatted about it yesterday on the show with a friend and I suck. So I would like to do that, but that could be a personality trait of a gamer. Roller skating? You could get into roller derby. I could get into roller derby. Is that big here in New Zealand? I was thinking crystals. Do you reckon I could be a crystal girl?

You could so be a crystal girl. What if I got into crystals and each week, like really early on our brunch show, I do a crystal of the week for everyone and I read out like what the crystals are saying this week. This is that. Yeah, you have to go deep. Astrology signs, the whole thing. Charge them when it's like a full moon. How do you charge a crystal?

Well, exactly. I don't believe you can. But people who believe you can say you put them out under the moon. Bottomless brunch with Sean and Sof. The biggest story of this week, Sof, has to be. Harry Styles, baby. If you missed it, he came to New Zealand. The photo went viral of him working out in a One Direction shirt.

He was running into Kiwis down the street, and then, of course, performed a sold-out Mount Smart. He revealed that that selfie actually on the 1D was an accident. He wasn't supposed to post it on a story, and he took it down a minute later, and think it was going to be like a close friend or maybe to a friend, like, hey, I'm in New Zealand, and then he shared it on a story.

Makes me like him so much more, because he had the shoot. Yeah, stunning. Do you reckon he bought it? No, he got throwing the shirt at a concert in Australia because people tend to throw things on stage. If you go to a Harry concert, it's 50% the music and 50% his personality, the vibes, the signs, what he says.

He has gotten up to so much on stage that just makes him, like, an incredible artist to be. You might have seen or heard when he saw someone dress as a banana. He's dressed as a banana. This isn't the end of that Oh Oh Wait we've got to wait

This is my favourite part here One two three mini bananas Yeah yeah It's so good It's so good And he talks about Obijines and there's none in the crowd He just has lost his mind

But Sean Yeah I think he listens to the edge Because on Monday when he touched down I was talking about how he played an iconic song in Australia and I said the equivalent would be Tutera Maina Iwi. And then what happened?

He played Tutera Maina Iui. But over the time he's been in Australia, he had a very special moment at his final concert. There's a song in Australia called The Horses and it's iconic. It's like for us singing Tutera Maina iwi. You know, everybody knows it because he is in New Zealand. I don't know. Harry, maybe you're in an Uber listening to this. Wow, and then this happened.

I know, and so I literally said that on the Monday, after his plane had touched down, and was like, Harry Sales, if you're in the Uber, the equivalent of Daryl Braithwaite horses is Tutera Mina iwi, and then he walks out and he sings it. So Harry Salis and I are friends, essentially. That's so exciting. When's the wedding? That was the most sarcastic. That's so exciting I've ever heard of my life.

It was exciting, okay? Bottomless brunch with Sean and Sof. Sof, earlier this week, rules in the country. I don't need to tell you. you that though. One of my favorite artists. We were both actually lucky to both interview him. I had him on Edge Days and he co-hosted for an hour which was amazing.

Learned some really crazy stuff. He got kidnapped in Manila, heard a song he never played but Sean, something wild went down when he jumped in with you at night. Yeah well he has some big co-labs right? Like at the moment in the charts. With Jake, I'm obsessed

with the song. Yeah, this one Golden Hour. So I asked him, hey, are there any Kiwi artists that you'd be looking to lab with. And he actually, he is in Ozzy, so he mentioned quite a few Kiwis. I was surprised. Benny. He mentioned Molly Payton, who's an Auckland artist. And of course, he mentioned

660. Enough is never enough. And I was like, this is my chance. Yeah, 660 are good friends of the edge. We have them in quite frequently. They're absolute lads, and you really capitalised on that. Yeah, I was like, you know what? I've got Chris

Mac, the bass player's number in my phone. Rule, if I call Chris right now and try and set up a studio time for you guys to meet. Are you okay with that? And he was like, yeah, that's fine. And I called Chris, he answered. I gave the phone to Rule.

Rule and Chris talked for a bit. And then legitimately teed up a studio time. Chris messaged me after the fact, said he's pitched it to all the other boys in the band. They're all keen. Rules keen. His manager was asking me for their manager's details. So now I'm in the middle.

I'm the meat in this artist sandwich, if you will. Oh, the best bloody meat in any type of sandwich ever. And I've told them I want to get at least 20% of the phones for that. I was like, where is business savvy Sean coming in? Because he ain't doing this for free. That is so sick, though. And a couple of the video interviews will be coming out as well next week. So if you want to see all of the juicy stuff we talk about with rule,

make sure you check out the edge socials. And he is actually in the country performing on tour in May, if you would like to go along. You can buy tickets right now. Bottomless brunch with Sean and Sov. Often I am just roasting you mercilessless. Far out, hold on. Mercerless.

Wait, you're roasting me. What? Mercously. What is this really happening? The word you're looking for. Mercifully. Mercifully. Mercifully.

Mercifully. That right. That right. Mercifully. No. Mercilessly. Yes. Okay.

Okay. This is a shit. Mercos. Mercilessly. That is a hard word to say. Anyway, I roast you all the time. I thought I would do something nice and around 8 o'clock. I have a special guest coming in to join the show.

Really? I've teed up a present for you in the form of a human person. Oh my God. Is it Jack Hallow? Big smaller. Is it post Malone? Again, just a little bit smaller. New Zealand based, New Zealand based.

Oh, New Zealand based. Lord? Yeah, let's just go with that. Okay, Lord is coming in. Bottomless brunch with Sean and Sofe. You know how Harry Stiles was in New Zealand this week? Yeah, a little bit of where. Maybe he was here.

You saw an Insta story or two? Something. There was that photo that went viral of him doing a workout in a One Direction t-shirt And it had all of the young 1D members on the front of it Yeah and a fan had thrown it to him at a concert in Australia And he picked it up and decided you know what I'm gonna rock my old merch It accidentally posted it Yes he wasn't intending to and he revealed that in his New Zealand concert

He said look sometimes we have secrets Other times we accidentally post stories to the world without meaning to Which was that shit Made me love him more because he's gone, this is my guilty pleasure. Yeah. And it's relatable guilty pleasure.

So I want to know, do you have any old piece of merchandise or an old thing that you're wearing that's no longer relevant or cool, but you're still rocking? Because I've got like a couple pieces out there. I've got a Paramour t-shirt. Oh!

From back when they were like the coolest band, I've got a T-shirt from like Op Shops, 2008 winery tour. See, I thought you were talking like personal things that maybe you shouldn't still wear because it's no longer relevant and I still occasionally wear to the gym

I had a short stint playing New Zealand football for the secondary skills team I was like 16 and I will still wear my New Zealand football shirt to the gym because I think it makes me feel important and I'm like oh me back in the day look at me now

so I will still wear my New Zealand football shirt occasionally and I will also wear my weekbook triathlon ship. Weebix triathlon shirt. From when I was, I wear it as impressive that you can still fit it. I wear it as like a crop and I'm like, yeah, I'm sporty. Look at me going. That's a really good idea for a theme for a party. Weepix triathlon. Everyone needs to bust out the Weepix triathlon shirts.

That would be so great. If anyone else still has one, I'm with you. I'm with you. Let's all wear them on Monday to work. Bottomless branch with Sean and So. A brand new music right now from the one and only. This is big news, so. A, because Flowers is her biggest song of all time, statistically. Wow. So she's backing up her biggest track ever. And she's working again with producer Mike Will,

who you might remember made this song 23 with her. Mike Will made it. He's done quite a bit of music. He teamed up with Brianna for a couple as well. Nothing is promised. That was a really good one. So I feel like we may err back into this almost hip-hop style plot. That's what I thought, because everything he makes is hip-hop.

But then the song's not at all. No, you were mentioning before, and I think this is pretty accurate. It's almost old lady Gaga vibes. Bottomless brunch with Sean and Soff. Brand new Ed Shearhan has just been announced this week. His new album coming out in May, that's very exciting. Also, quite a short time between drinks for Ed Sharon. This is the shortest amount of time between albums, I think.

Yeah, it definitely is, but he has said that this album he, I guess, didn't necessarily think he would release, but he's worked on for a long time, and it's a lot deeper and definitely less poppy. So I don't think he's written it for other people or for money or for anything. It's more just therapy for him. It's interesting that you brought that up because, yeah, the long story is he had this album ready. At the time, Taylor Swift was trying to put him in touch with Aaron Destner.

Now, Aaron Destner is from the band The National. You might not have heard about them. We don't play them on the edge. But that guy wrote Taylor's last couple albums with her, folklore, Evermore. And they were quite different stylistically. So she was trying to get Ed Shearing in the studio with him. Ed didn't want to do it because he didn't want to take away from. Taylor. But then it had been long enough

since then. Between. He jumped in studio with him instantly, wanted to get rid of everything he'd worked on and wrote this album with Aaron Destner. And then, yeah, they only wrote it recently. Okay. That's, uh, it's a super sad story actually about the album, but I think we're going to really get

back to the whole Lego House A-team style, Ed Sheeran, a lot more of those like soft ballads. Oh, I cannot wait. I can't wait. I do get the name wrong in my production though. Oh yes. You made a definite faux pie and one that I'd say a lot of Kiwis would make, to be honest.

Well, you know, his song albums have been so predictable so far. It was obviously plus and then it was multiply. And then it was divide. You know, and then equals. Do you know what? If it was based on plus, I would back you and think that it should be minus. Yeah. Because that's like salt and pepper.

Plus minus. Plus minus. However, if he'd said addition, or a dish, you may think, subtract. Exactly. Exactly, Sophie. And he said this week his new album's called subtract. But it doesn't sound right. Plus subtract.

No, it doesn't. It should have been addition, subtract, multiply, divide. But then addition, then it should be division, multiplication, subtraction. So I do understand where he's going because the shortened version of addition is plus. Man, I love when we have math chat. Me too. It's the highlight of our show. Our boss gets so excited when us, a pop music station,

talking about relevant celebrity gossip, talk about math. We're going to do Cosin-Tan coming up next. Pi, 3.14. It really feels like a Kiwi thing to say minus. It is. I think it is. Wait, which one is it? Subtract is the album.

Yeah, subtract. And the album comes out in May, May 5th, to be exact. Bottomless Branch with Sean and Sov. Talking about all the biggest celeb gossip and news of the week, and one of the big stories were Rebel Wilson ended up getting banned from Disneyland for quite a crazy reason. She's looking great, by the way.

Yeah, she's doing great. She's in such good shape. And she's so happy. Like, she's with her partner. I think they actually ended up getting engaged at Disneyland, which is why they were talking about it. So, the reason she got banned is there is a secret room at Disneyland.

And you're not allowed to take photos in it. It's like a bathroom in underneath one of the castles or something. So she was there. And, of course, she takes a photo in the bathroom. Wait, why is there a secret? Okay, it doesn't matter. It's confusing. I didn't make Disneyland.

Ask Walt. You know? Oh, Walt. Damn it, Walt. So I don't know why there's a bathroom, but she took a photo on it and she got banned for six months. She could pick the six months she wasn't allowed to go to because she goes consistently. But I wanted to know, have you ever been banned from anywhere?

Wait, so she could go, oh, I'm not going to enforce that for another two years. Yes. That's wild. Because they love her. And like, she's a celebrity. They have different rules to us plebs. It's true. I have a lifelong ban from Wydar Park Pack and Save in Auckland.

A lifetime ban. Yeah. They haven't enforced it though because I've been back since. What do you do? What did you do? I don't want to talk about it. Well, you must now because we're speaking about it. Okay.

Well, what I did a couple years ago, it was actually before you worked here, but I got on a tier of doing something that I would call a pack and rave. I remember pack and rave, like seeing the video. So I would go to a pack and save at like peak time at night. with a DJ set up. Stunning. And a phone like mounted to me

that was live streaming it. And I would go and like a little speaker system. Yeah, a speaker system and I would just go into a DJ set in the middle of pack and save. And I would do it on the edge nights listen to the edge nights

from 7pm. We do crazy things like this. Listen to the edge days 10 to 3, I'm there. Plugging. But you know, it was just fun and we do it to all these supermarkets and you get booted out or whatever.

I think I did Whiteau Park one too many times and I got escorted it out by security and they were like, do not come back. We are banning you. And I have since gone back. In a disguise? No, I wanted to see if they had me on the wall or something, but I'm not.

I do wonder that. Maybe they've got you on a wall upstairs, though. You know how there's like a manager's room? Maybe your face is plastered everywhere. Like, do not let this guy into the room. Yeah, like in like Ocean's 11. Yes. They're up there.

They're like watching for me every day. And they've actually seen you come back and then they're just tracking you slowly because they're going to heist you back and they're going to rave inside your studio. Maybe you should run back, pack and run. this week. Let's do pack and race. Let's do it. Bottomless brunch with Sean and Sofe. I've found a love for country music recently and I know that it's not your favorite song right now. Look it's not my favorite but I understand a guilty pleasure. Mine's not so guilty. I'm loving the new Keen to Crow song. I'll be

waiting. That is the biggest banger on the station right now. I'm calling it. It's such a good song. If you ever want to fall in. I've been through something this year and I am waiting for that person to come back. I'll be waiting. Yeah it's important to have a little like kind of subgenre of music that you're into at any given time. For me right now, it happens to be country music. For Sof, it happens to be beautiful male Irish singer-songwriters. Exactly. I'm so glad we're on the same page. Like Dermit Kennedy is another one who kind of fits into that.

Nile Horan. I do love Nile Horan. Irish guys can sing. And they've got lovely accents. And interesting names. Nile. Kian de Kro. Dekro is French, actually.

Is it? Yes. Kean's Irish. Kian's Irish. And then his last name is French. Oh, interesting. You learn something new every day. Hey, coming up, Sof's last thought of the show.

Now, Sof is our resident philosopher. No, no, no, no. Pause. Why were you talking about country music? What were you going to do? Why just wanted to say that I love country music right now? No, no, what were you going to do? Were you going to try and be a country singer?

We're going to put it on a country accent? Were you about to try and do a rodeo? Go on. Do the country accent. I've already bought, Wait, should I sell my motorbike and buy a horse? Yes. Bottomless brunch with Sean and Sov.

Sending you into your Saturday with some positive, Vibes. Hashtag Pauzi Vibes. Hashtag Vibes, baby. I hope you've had a stunning morning with us and enjoy the rest of your weekend. We send you all our love. But we like to end the show on some philosophy. Yeah, Sif our resident philosopher usually likes to give us a little note going into the weekend. Yeah.

Usually it's unprepared and off the cuff. Take it away, safe. Okay, what's my life been doing this way? Oh, do you know what? I went on a date and cried, and it was not very nice. You cried on the date. Yes, that was quite embarrassing. There's a long story.

What happened? No, we've got time. Go on. No, this was going to be where my philosophy comes in, okay? Okay. If someone can't see your light, and they try to snuff your candle.

Oh, that's all weird saying. If someone can't see your light, do not dim yourself to fit into their room. Wait, hold on. I'm just trying to say, be bright and be you, and, you know, other people will enjoy your candle light and don't even diminish yourself because your light brings light to other people.

Are you fading me out right now? No, this sounds good. I really like it. I just think that people, it's the edge bottomless brunch. Thanks for hanging out. Saturday, baby. Who's getting their candle snuff tonight?

Bottomless brunch with Sean and soap.
