This is a podcast from Rover. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, welcome to the podcast. Thanks so much for clicking on this. Big show today. No Harrison, just Sean and Steph, but some great moments. Degrees of Stan Walker, that's always a highlight of my Wednesday.

Yeah, where people share any kind of story related to Stan Walker from their lives. And three really, really standout stories today. It was tough to pick a winner. My favorite part of the show was when we played a game of Ed Shearan or Ed St. for a double pass to go and see Ed Shearing where people had to, two listeners had to pick whether they'd share their tickets or steal their tickets and I didn't predict the ending.

It got very heated. It got awkward. But it's very good to listen to. Also, Steph and I had a fictitious child and named them a weird celebrity name. So a lot of weird stuff happening today. Since we had a fictitious child on today's podcast, does that mean we had to hypothetically do it?

Yep. And fictiously, I lasted about five seconds. But you also last that long in real life, so... What? That's what I've heard. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Thank you, Steph.

As we do on Wednesday's opening the show with the official recorder introduction there from Stephanie Marks. You know me. I'll never forget the official recorder intro on a Wednesday. Welcome, everybody. How are you? You good? Not too shabby.

Hey, Harrison's away today. So you're stuck with Sean, myself, Steph. But the creme de la creme of the show, she's our newest member, and she's our absolute favourite producer, Nurse Sam's on board with us. Hey guys. So if you call up,

because we're about to open up the phone lines, aren't we on 0,800 the edge to try and give away this 10K, you're going to... Yeah, 10,000 bucks. You're going to speak to the wonderful Nurse Sam. If you practice some phone etiquette there, Sam, what does your phone speaking voice sound like?

We're going to answer these phones. Yeah, yeah. Just pretend. Ring, ring, ring, ring. Oh, 800, the edge. Who am I speaking with? Oh, you sound so lovely and helpful. You're speaking with, Steph, I really want to play Easy Money, please, Sam, please. Awesome, that's really cool.

We just need to check a couple things. Make sure that you've got your radio turned down so we don't get any feedback. Good. And ideal if you're not using Bluetooth or speakerphone. You just recorded nice into our system. Wow. Wow. She's good.

And she was a registered nurse up until like two months ago. Yeah, true. The name Nurse Sam. So if you get through an 800 of the edge at any time during the show, just ask her some health questions at the same time. Honestly. Yeah, we've been double-diffing. I haven't gone to the hospital in ages. Yeah, true. Gosh, she's good. She's good. Yeah, hey, a big show today. We're also opening the Flatmate Hall of Shame.

Do you reckon she's all having a wee? What's she doing? Time. No! Are you muted? You muted? No, time. We've got to Rachel.

Rachel, you're there? Brutal, Sean. Hi, Rach. Hello. Have you got my number? Yeah, well, you must have won something before, or so I'm a stalker. Okay, right. Literally.

I was no one ready. One go. What are you doing? I work for New Zealand Post. I'm just on Bluetooth getting out of a driveway and I'm going to take it you off Bluetooth. I had to do a delivery. I had to do a delivery. Fair enough.

Fair enough. You guys work blim and hard, so no, I appreciate you guys. All right, Rachel, let us know when it's safe to play, because $10,000 on the line, we can't have your reversing out of a driveway, okay? You've got to be fully focused. No way. Yeah, I'm fully focused.

Usually if you pass, you can't really get back to it anyway. You went through them. You answered every single one. As you said, I think if it was a little bit faster, you probably would have got through all of them. But six is a bad. It's good. Lemon, Lyme, Lyme, Linesman. Lederman was the TV series that you took a little.

bit of extra time on. You could have said Love Island or lost. But hey, nailed it, Rach. Six out of ten, nothing to be upset about, and you've won $100 anyway. So well done. Oh, fabulous. Thank you so much. Cheers, Rachel. Appreciate you, mate. And that hundred bucks, all thanks to BNZ. They can help you master your money so you can start acing whatever you're doing from day one. Your Ivo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. Okay, Sean. I'm going to lift at my top and you're going to tell everybody what you can see. okay? Yeah, keeping it above board but I'm just gonna lift up my jumper. All right, it's finally happening this is the moment I've been waiting for

for a long, oh, there's a shirt underneath. There's a t-shirt. What can you see on the t-shirt? A stain. Yeah. Just the one? Multiple stones, quite a few stones. How long do you think I owned this t-shirt for

before I dropped food on it and I stained it and ruined it forever? It looks like an oil stain as well. That looks like a tough one to get off. That's exactly what it is. It's an oil stain. How long did you own that for? Oh, I'd say,

With you a couple days, a few days? Okay, so in summer, I went to a shop and I made the silly decision not to try on a pair of shorts. Stupid me, I thought X-L might fit me. But I got it home and it didn't. It was too small. So I returned it and they were like, oh, look, we can't give you your money back, but here just take some store credit and then just like pick something else. And I didn't have time at the time, so I forgot about it.

Up until this past weekend when I was like, oh yeah, I've got. like 55 bucks to spend at this shop. I kind of love that. I've done that before as well. Return something. They go, I can only do store credit. I kind of love it because then it feels like you've got to buy something.

You feel like it's free. It's like, all free. Yeah, it kind of felt like it was free. So I went in and I went browsing and I was like, okay, well, try it on this time, Steph. And I went for a T-shirt this time instead of shorts, much safer option. And I was like, oh my God, I love this T-shirt.

I need a new T-shirt. This looks good on me. It's kind of like a greyish colour. It's kind of on the baggy side. But I'm like so into it. and I took it home. I couldn't wait to wear it, so I put it on straight away,

and I was just like walking around the house, just like, look at me, look at me. No one was home, but I was still just like cat walking around. And then I had lunch. And then I sat on my couch and I ate my little tuna and cucumber sandwich. Tuna, it's oily stuff. It's a fish oil. A new shirt.

Gets me every single time. And then lo and behold, I look down in these three little oil dots. Now, I panic. and I do everything humanly possible to undo the disaster that's just happened. And I'm like soaking it in water and I'm like doing the dishwashing liquid. And I'm doing everything. No, thank you, Tiffany. 3343 is our text number.

Tiff just said, Steph, soak it in dishwashing liquid. Try that. Try it. I tried it. I didn't work. And so it was, I owned the T-shirt that morning. It would have been six hours. Ish.

Maybe less. That's not good. That's not a good rating. of finishing a t-shirt. So, I've decided, and you can't talk me out of this because I have already done the purchase, I've decided to do something about this. Because literally every single item of clothing I own is stained, whether it's a baby stain. I was going to say that's the bright side, as I didn't notice too much, because I'm kind of used to it now.

It's on everything. It's why I can't buy nice things, because I'll ruin it straight away. And I say a lot of the stains come from my baby. It's honestly all food. It's all food that's supposed to be going into my mouth and I'm missing. So... Wait, right. Sorry, are you saying that you'll blame some of your stains on your baby?

Yeah. Like when Harrison and I go, you've got a stain on your shirt and you go, I've got a one-year-old called Rocco. It's not actually your son. You're blaming him. No, it's me. It's my dribble. It's my mess.

It's my food. It's my lunch. It's my dinner. It's everything. So I have made the bold purchase of a whopping $10, 18 cents, New Zealand currency, down from $12. Is it Timo? A little Timo purchased there.

I was joking about an adult bib. It is an adult bib. It's the kind of thing you'd give someone who can't feed themselves so they don't spill food on it. And you're going to take that with you. You're going to wear that at mealtimes, are you? Yeah. You don't remember to put that on every time? I will.

I genuinely will now because it's a little floral number, so it's not but ugly. But yeah, it's described as a high-quality adult bib in a single package. Adjustable, washable keeps close. clean and tidy, ding, that's what I need. But the thing that I really, I'm unhappy about the description is suitable for the elderly. That's what I was thinking. Elderly and children.

She's a least 80. And this is, Steph, you're going to be wearing there. I can't wait to see it. I'll report back, everybody. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Sean's Five Star Fact. The Five Star Facts, it's part of the show

where I will grind for hours and hours online, scouring the internet and real life conversations and libraries Steph, real books. I mean, I even got you a book to try and help you out. Have you used that? Yeah, I've never used it. It is. I haven't used it today, a fact book. But I am trying to provide a fact to the team that is so shareable, original and perform so well that it is deemed a perfect fact, a five-star fact.

Is it from the pocket pal freaky facts that I got you? This particular one is not. All right. The judges today are producer Nurse Sam and Stephanie Marks. Killed up. All right, we're ready. Good luck. Today's factors.

Oh my gosh. Sharks are older than trees. Is that crazy? I need more. Sharks, what more do you need? I need more. What do you mean? Like, it seems like it's a half fact.

Like there needs to be more. What's great? What's great about this fact for you? How are they older than trees? How old is a tree? Like a tree could be like a year old. No, I understand what you mean. I don't mean like the lifespan of a tree.

You mean the existence of all trees. Sharks existed before trees existed on this planet. Well, that's a brand new fact there. You just said it totally different. No, I understand. Sorry, sorry. Today's five sub-facts. Oh, man.

Sharks have been around on this planet longer than trees have been around on this planet. Hmm. Now, again, so life formed, like, with a microorganism thing in the bottom of the ocean, right, according to evolution. I can hear you fact-checking me, producer Sam. It's patronising. What don't you say? All life existed, like, all, like, I guess, every animal existed before trees, because every animal came from that little microorganism. No.

Right? Sharks, as they currently exist, existed before trees. through that how they currently exist? Yes. He's right. Is that true? Fact checked. Yep.

That's what makes it a great fact. Yeah, shark fossils date back as far as 450 million years. See, that's what I needed to back up the fact, Sean. Come on. That's the information that lacked. Because I say that and then you guys go, oh, too much work, too many numbers. No, no. It's too wordy.

It's too many numbers. Just keep it simple. Here's the fact. Sharks predate trees by approximately. ultimately 90 million years. Boom. Too wordy. Too many numbers.

Sam, what a fact. You've lost me. Thanks, Steph. Well, well-referenced, well-researched, I appreciate it. I think you guys need to get your ducks in a row

in terms of what you're after with the criteria of this fact. Sam, I think your presentation needs to improve a little bit. God, I'm so happy you're on this team. I'm actually quite glad Harrison's not here today doing that thing.

It's a two and a half for me. It needed more, but I didn't hate it. Yeah, I don't hate it. Two and a half as well. That's fair. Two and a half! It's fair. Sharks are older than trees.

This is insane. There's no one hearing this. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Now a hot topic at the moment, bit of water cooler chat. Hot off the Zite, guys. Everyone's talking about it. I recently got engaged.

MBD. Got a woman's day spread coming out very shortly. Yeah, boy. Engagement photo shoot and an interview tell all, which I'll be doing after the show this evening. But I'm sure you've already heard about it. Oh, did you hear that Sean Hill from the Edge? got engaged. Of course I have. It's all everyone's talking about.

Oh, hell yeah. No, honestly, we are so pleased for you and Jeannie. Genuinely. Yeah, I know. You said to me, you never thought it would happen for me. You said what's wrong with her? I just think she could do better. But I'm really, I'm happy for you. I'm happy for you. Lock her in, honestly, before she changes her mind. Well, that's the idea. Now, I had an engagement dinner on Saturday night, a little surprise situation with some of her family. What do you mean to surprise situation? Well, they said to us they wanted to celebrate us with a little dinner

So we didn't know much about it They took us to a nice restaurant, her aunties and her mum Wait, wait, so it was a surprise dinner But they said, hey, we're going to take you up for dinner For your engagement Yeah, so the location was a surprise Oh, the location was surprised And then we got to a restaurant that I'd never heard of anyway

So you could have told me Oh, you're nice, yeah No, but there was a few other things like that They'd organised it with the restaurant You know when you go to a hotel or something And you always go, oh, it's in a... You have to say it's a birthday or something because you might get something free out of it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they said it's an engagement, and so they put a few flowers on the table for us, a little bottle of bubbly, one of those ones. And then during the night, we're having a great night, getting a little boisterous, a couple drinks flowing. There's a live band playing at this restaurant. It's quite nice live music.

At some point, the singer said to us, what's the special occasion? One of the aunties goes, she just got engaged. Which isn't a lie. We did just get engaged about a month ago. Yeah, but I would. would say that's pretty recently. She just got engaged. Yeah, it makes sense.

She goes, amazing. Get up here. The singer starts playing Bruno Mars Mary You, which is a beautiful song, beautiful moment. Yeah. We get up. It's in the middle of us, like, quite a busy restaurant. We get up there and start, like, having a little dance. Aw. So we're going to say, come over a dance, come over a dance. That's so cute. Give it up for these two. Just got engaged tonight. Tonight. She says that. Obviously, she's taken, she's taken, she's just assumed that. No. If anyone wants to buy them a drink or a shot,

these two. Cheers to the newly engaged couple. Cheers to them. Do this whole song. Everyone in the bars. You'd be like, no, no, no, no. About a month ago in Bali was beautiful. Show them a photo maybe.

Why don't want to embarrass her? She's before, she's singing. This is her. I can't stop her and go, excuse me, sorry, sorry. Engaged a month ago. We finished this. The bartender gives us a shot for the rest of the evening.

People, random people are coming up to us in this restaurant, offering us drinks. giving us free drinks, they're giving us free dessert. Amazing that you've chosen to do an engagement at our restaurant. Thank you so much. I've put, like, tag them in a story and they reshared it. I think they genuinely thought that I proposed that night. And I didn't.

I couldn't bring myself to tell them that I didn't. I think you've just hacked it. I think now, going forward, everyone listening right now, we'll know how to get free drinks on a night out. Just do a fake proposal. And the bar will be giving you all kinds of stuff. Oh my God. Have you never heard that?

I'll never stay at a whole whole. hotel without messaging them and going it's my engagement or it's my anniversary or something because it'll always do a little extra for you. This sounds like a lot extra though this sounds like an expensive night out this sounds great. What a life act, Sean.

If you can be bothered faking it for a whole night that you are engaged, you can get a bit tedious even for me who is engaged. It was a little march at the end. It's like, whoa, well, we'll set up. Put the spotlight on someone else really. Good on you, Sean. Hey, good stuff. Am I going to come to the wedding? You know what? You know what?

Not time to think about it? This is interesting because I think you will come to my wedding. But you are also, you've been engaged for like a decade. So will I come to your wedding? Who do you think we get married first? I don't know. Joint wedding? Oh, yeah, I'm busy that night.

Should we just get married? I love, you and I. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Ed Sharon. Next year, in January, he is heading down to New York. New Zealand on his loop world tour. He's hitting

Auckland Wellington and Christchurch. How nice is that for Christchurch, Steph? Yeah, sorry, Daneden. I know he's been to Duned before and Dunedin really loves Ed Shearing. But hey, you can go to Christchurch this time. They were so excited the Ed came that they put a mural in the city for him and no he's not coming back. I know, I know. But maybe

there can be a new mural in Christchurch. Now, we have a double pass to giveaway to whatever show you want to go to out of those three. And a little game called Ed Shearren or Ed Stealing. So two people who've called through an 0800 the edge will get to play. Now one at a time, one will go into a soundproof booth and the other person will be revealing to everybody whether they want to take one ticket or steal both.

If both listeners end up picking one ticket each, then that's great. That's one ticket each. Bada bidababum, yay, everyone's a winner. And they can go together. It'll be real cute. So cute. However, if one listener decides to steal and the other listener decides to take one ticket,

the person who's stealing gets both the tickets and the other person walks away with nothing. However, if they both choose to steal, the first person through an 0800 of the edge actually wins up, ends up winning both. Now, it's worked out that both these listeners today

are both from Christchurch, so if they did split, if they would be able to go together to the show. Jen from Outsahe, welcome. Hello. Jen, what does Ed Sheeran mean to you, my friend? Are you a big fan? I am a big fan, but my mother's a bigger fan. Oh, okay.

That's awkward. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Have you been, has your mom or you been to see Ed Shearren before? No. No. So in an ideal world, you and your mum would go. Yes.

Interesting. If you were to split the tickets, Jen, and just get one, would you give it to your mother and let her go alone? Or then Jen could buy a ticket. And then you could buy one. Yeah. And I'd buy one. You'd buy one.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, Jen, we'll bear that in mind while we talk to Courtney, also from Aututahi. Courtney, what does Edgaren mean to you? Edgaren means a lot to me and my son.

My wee son next to me right now is absolutely obsessed. What's his favourite song, Courtney? What's your favourite song, right? I don't know what's here called? Well, I know one, Sapphire. Sapphire. He's obsessed with the new one at the moment. moment. It's a fan favourite.

He says he doesn't know what they're called. I'd say it's not a massive fan. He's a kid, Sean. He's only nine so he can't remember all the names, unfortunately. But he can sing the song. That is fair, Courtney. Okay, okay. Okay, Courtney.

So, I mean, I know you and your son would want to go, so I guess if you were to take one ticket, then you'd probably have to buy another one too, right? I would have to buy another one. Okay, okay. So bear that in mind. So here we go. Both Jen and Courtney,

they both really would love a double pass. However, both open to buying an extra ticket. All right, Jen, Courtney, while both of you are here, we're going to go a couple songs. In that time, you two can figure out with your mum, Jen, or with your son, Courtney, whether you guys would like to split. Be Ed Shearing or Ed Stealing these tickets.

Remember, if you do share them, you can both go together. If one of you chooses to steal, the other one shares, the other one will lose it. If you both steal, no one. We'll get the tickets, all right? Okay, so thanks. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Ed Shearren is coming to New Zealand next year. He just announced it yesterday, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in January. We have some Ed Shearin tickets to give away right now. We have one double pass, but we've got two callers on the show. Jen and Courtney for a good old-fashioned game of Ed Shearin or Ed Steelan. We're about to find out what they've locked in. But we've got Jen, who's a mum never been before. Sorry, she wants to bring her mum to Ed Sharon, go together.

Gail's night out, which would be fun. And then we've got Courtney, whose son, nine-year-old son is a massive, massive Ed Sharon fan. First concert for him, so it would be really special. Both playing the family card, both beautiful reasons to get both the tickets. Unfortunately, as we said earlier, only two tickets here up for grab. So they can decide to share them, Ed Sharon. In which case they get to go together, one ticket each. One ticket each.

One could steal, one could share, in which case the stealer will win. Or if they both steal, no one wins the tickets. And you have to be ready to call 0,800 the edge, because we will be giving them away to the next person. Yep. Okay, so we're going to put Courtney into the soundproof booth with our producer, Nurse Sam. And we're going to talk to Jen. So Courtney will not be able to hear us for the next minute while we talk to you, Jen, from Christchurch.

Jen, have you decided whether you want to Ed Shearron the table? tickets or Ed Stealing the tickets? I think I'm going to Ed Steerling the tickets. Okay. Jen. Okay. Jen, Jen, Jen.

Okay, all right. What's your thoughts behind that decision? What have I got to lose? I mean, I need sharing ticket. Yeah, one end sharing ticket would be the answer. Well, yeah, exactly. All right. Hopefully I'll get both of them and hopefully it will work in my favour.

Oh, the humanity of it, Jen. I love it. All right, let's put Jen on hold. Can we bring Courtney, producer, Nurse Sam, out of the soundproof both, please? And can we put Jen in there? Yeah. Here we go. All right, Courtney, Jen can't hear you.

Hey, Courtney, just to confirm you couldn't hear Jen's answer, could you? No. No, okay. So, Courtney, when you're ready, please tell us whether you would like to Ed Shearin or Ed Stealing the tickets. I am going to Ed Shearin. Okay. Okay. And your thoughts behind that decision? My son decided that. So I am just going to go with what he has said.

Okay. Beautiful values there, Courtney. Let's bring, can we bring Jen out of the soundproof jammer? We've put Chamberlestone. We've got Courtney on one line now. We've got Jen on the other line. You've both decided whether you're going to be Ed Sherin or Ed Steelerin. The listeners know both answers. The text machine's going wild. Okay. Well, Courtney, you decided that you would like to be Ed Sharon. And that was a decision, your son, mate, top lad. And Jen, do you want to tell Courtney what you decided?

Sorry, mate, I, Ed Salon. I thought that would happen, that's okay. Thank you guys anyway, and I hope you have the best time at the concert with your mum. Thank you. It's okay. Okay. So Courtney, unfortunately, that means you... Oh, my God.

You're very welcome. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. That is just the name of the game is. Thank you guys for giving me the chance. Oh, you're so welcome. And please pass on to your son that he's an absolute legend. Your nine-year-old son is a massive Ed Sharon fan who's right there with you right now.

That sucks. We'll be getting those pre-sale tickets on Monday. Good on you, Courtney. Good on you. So Jen and your mom you go to Edge. Sharon, congratulations. I don't know whether to celebrate so I'm pretty mad,

but I'm really excited at the same time. Thank you so much. Oh my God. Jen, that made some great radio. Enjoy guys. Great job. How you want to me and share tickets, mate. Congratulations, that's awesome.

Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. This is something that happened to me over the weekend. I went, I'll just, I'll say what store it was, right? Okay. Cotton on. Oh, clothing store. Okay, yeah.

I have... Oh, no. Sorry. Yep, okay, continue. I know all the... Am I the bad person in the situation? It always is yes. Like a young retail worker, you're usually the one of the wrong.

That's what I'm thinking. When I think Cotonon, I think, yeah, a youthful kind of young, maybe uni student kind of vibes. That's exactly it. Okay, all right. What did you do? What's happened is I've found a shirt that I wanted, a button-up shirt, right?

And I have this shirt. I like it. I wanted another colour. So I looked on the website to see if it was available in the store near me. He said, yes, available in store. So I walked to that store, right, on Saturday, left my house. I sense a tone here, Sean. I walked down to the store to buy the shirt that said on the website

that it was available in my size. Now, I'm looking around the floor. I don't want to bother anyone. I can find this shirt. After about 10 minutes, I realized I'm not capable of finding this shirt myself. So I pull the shop assistant to the side and you said, hey, excuse me. Can I put you for a chart?

Hey, yeah, exactly. Can I, I'm after this shirt here. Showed it with photo. I've got it on the website. I was wondering where this is. Please. Did you say please? I'm paraphrasing, of course.

Okay, good. Please, thank you, all of that. All right, cool. She goes, oh, I don't think it's on the floor anymore. I don't think we've got that on the floor anymore. And I was like, oh, okay. Could you see if it's out the back? She goes, no, I don't think it's out the back.

I was like, but it says on this website that it's in your store. she goes, oh yeah and then we're in a bit of a stale mate I was like oh hey thanks so much for being helpful would you mind checking out the back and seeing if it's She didn't check out the back

She said oh no I don't think it's out the back I think we've shipped them off I was like well You don't know that I think I love if you could check out the back I've got it says here on this phone that it's in the store She's like oh no it's not

But she so she works there right She's the one that kind of like does know what's there, apart from you. I know the internet's telling you that it's there, but she actually works there, so I'd say that she probably knows. Yeah, but she didn't seem like that hard of work.

But she is telling you that it's all been, they're not on sale anymore, so they're all being shipped off. So I would probably take your word for it. No, I didn't do it justice, but she said it with an air of ambiguity that made me feel that she might not know. Okay.

And it was quite a busy store, and she was trying to get rid of me. How long did this backwards and forwards? Please check out the back. No, I'm not going to. last a minute. But the thing is, I was being really polite, and so was she, but to the point we were both being quite condescending to each other,

but out of being overly polite. Oh, sure. Thank you so much, Keir, please. She went out of the back. Did she? I don't think she did. She went out of the back and came back instantly. I was like, no, it's not there.

I was like, well, can you go again? And, like, she for a longer... I didn't say that, obviously. Oh, God, thank God. It's a retail worker. I just cut my losses and left and bought it online and got it delivered to me for $4.50. But at the end of the day, I just wanted to clear up

what are the ethics around saying, can you check out the back? I've never worked in retail, so I don't know. But I'm asking a lot of people to check out the back. A lot of people I feel aren't actually checking out the back. I would say maybe a blanket rule is you wait for them to offer to check out the back for you. So you just kind of bite your tongue there, Sean, and just say, oh, I can't find it anywhere.

And then you just wait for them to be like, oh, I'll go check for you. And then like, okay, cool. And if that doesn't happen after a few minutes of an exchange, I would say, you don't think it could be, you know, you know, there's an out-the-back kind of pile of the show. You don't, you don't suppose. And you do it that way, you don't kind of demand it. So that's kind of my feedback for you.

So nonchalantly that the thing I've never even heard about the back. You know, I've heard of this out-the-back kind of place. You don't suppose it could be, yeah, that's kind of the vibe. So next time, next time. And to answer your first question, am I the asshole? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Yep, yep, yep. I thought I saw that come in, to be. Yeah. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. These celebrity baby names are getting out of hand, Steph. Crazy. The latest celebrity to have a very unique baby name was this week.

Trisha Paitis has had her third baby. She already has Elvis and Malibu Barbie. And now she's got Aquaman. So the challenge was just set by a producer, Nurse Sam. And that is hypothetically if Sean and myself were to have a baby right now, what would we call our baby? And I'm not going to lie and say I haven't thought about it. Having a baby with me? Yeah, not about us and what we'd call it.

I'd probably call it something like simple. Well, you really like basic names. Millie, Millicent. Beautiful. I like Millie. And Hill. Oh, we could hyphenate her name, Monks Hill. I don't mind. I'm modern. Let's think about the last name later.

But let's just focus on a very unique, never heard of before. strong first name. But would you take my last name or we'll be hyphenate? I think that's another, or would you keep your own name? Weird hypothetical for another time. I'm just saying if we want to get into character and we want to probably commit to it,

I think you need to decide. We are both engaged, but two different people. So I just think that we do need to think about that. Within the realms of this hypothetical, fictitious scenario, would you take my last name? Okay, yeah. Great. Yeah, actually.

I was going to say, it was a deal break of me. No, your last name actually works perfectly for my options for our baby. Okay. So these are celebrity baby names that we'd call up. Yeah. Yeah. And we have to, agree on one and you're very traditional. I'm kind of more creative, I think, with names.

And remember, I have pushed out this hypothetical baby, or it's come out of my stomach through the little scar I've got down here. So that means you get more of a say. So I get a little bit more of a sway. Okay. Is that okay? Yeah, sure, of course. Okay, so I really like the name cabbage. What? Cabbage. Don't laugh. It's our child, Sean. What is the middle name? Locket. Locket. Cabbage Locket Hill. Yeah, well, I quite like Lockett for a first name, too. Okay, some other options. Zipper. Zip for short. I actually think that's really cute. Genuinely, I think that's cute. Cotton? Nah?

No, it's probably not my least. I've come up with some ideas as well. So this is a crazy celebrity name that we could call our baby. Ariola Princess. Ariola Princess. I do like the name Ariola. What about Ariola Cabbage? Sounds like a medical condition. What about first name Feta? Middle name Cheney.

I like the first name Feta. Feta Cheney. Yeah, Feta. Yeah, Feta. What about first name, Stan Walker. Middle name Lossange. Lounge. Stan Walker Lossange Hill.

I don't love using a actual celebrity name for a celebrity name baby. But I do like lozange. Why don't we do look at lozange? I love it. alliteration. Some other example, I've got Boulder on my list. Or rhubarb. Rubarb's quite cute. Yeah, because it's Barb

and Roo, which are two actual names, like Rubin, and then like put them together. What about we set up, mix in the middle? Our unborn child will be called Rubarb Lossange Hill. Oh, so cute. And I mean, any gender, like, it just works, doesn't it? Yeah,

plus. You pinkie promise. Right now, Sean, if we would ever have a baby, its name is going to be. rubarb loz and chill it's beautiful oh god let you rethink my whole existence

better than echo man your avos head harder with Sean Steph and Harrison The edge This is our 12th week of doing degrees of Stan Walker This segment started out

As degrees of separation We threw a different Kiwi Celeab each week We asked for low level stories We found out Stan Walker stories were the best and the most abundant So we decided to flip scripts

Steph and see kind of how long we could go just asking for loose Stan Walker degrees of separation stories. Yeah and like you say, 12 weeks of it. I mean, and today again, so many, so many stories. Let's get straight into them. Hannah's here from Auckland.

Hannah, what is your Stan Walker story, please? So this was back in 2012 and me and my family, we were shopping at the warehouse, and I noticed him at the checkout right in front of us and I freaked out and I told dad like that Stan Walker that Stan Walker

and I asked him if I could get a photo with him and he was wearing like a like a basketball like jersey like like sleeveless and so he put his arm around me we took a photo and I remember leaving the warehouse and I smelled this was so bad like no shade no shade to Stan Walker but I could smell like body odor and I sniffed my shoulder and it was Stan Walker's sweat on my shoulder. That is. It's so random. That is right in the vein of what we're after, Hannah.

It's an impeccable story. I would say points of originality off because it is our third story that involves running into Stan Walker at a warehouse, which is crazy. But then points of originality for his body odor. Great, yeah. No, I still really appreciated that. It's very fantastic. Because every time I've met him, he smells lovely.

Of course, yeah. It's got to be an anomaly. It's just nice to know he's human, isn't he? He's so blamming good at everything that, you know. It's true. Right, let's go to Shy now from Invers. Shy, what's your Stan Walker story? It's not really interesting or much.

It was just we were, I was at my dad's probably like 10 years ago, and he lived on Crinn Street, and Stan Walker was filming a music video on that street. Okay. This is perfect. Yeah, I was like, me and my friend just sat at the window and just watched him through the window. We didn't go talk to him or anything,

but it was quite interesting. Wow. It's a great story. And these are the stories you're never going to tell to anyone. Yeah, we didn't talk to him or anything, but it was just fun to watch. Yeah.

Wow. Does your dad still live there? No, not anymore. But his house was in the music video. Wow. Your dad's house was in a Stan Walker music video where you were spying on him. This is a great contender

for the Stan Walker story segment. Oh my God. It's really anyone. game at the moment for degrees of Stan. Two great stories. Truly. Okay, well let's go to Rebecca now from Hamilton. Bex, what is your Stan Walker story? I used to work at a BP

in the town where Stan Walker lives and I took his order one day, asked him for his name but he gave me a name that wasn't Stan, but it was definitely him and so I was making his coffee, just like, oh, how's your day going? You know, but he said his name

wasn't Stan so I didn't want to like Fang girl, but 10,000 was him. made his coffee, had a little chat with him. What was the fake name he gave Rebecca? I can't remember. It was years ago, but it was a thousand percent Stan Walker. Do you remember the vibe of it? Was it like Bruce or was it like Thomas? I think it might have been like Bob or Stu. It was just a random name. He obviously didn't want like a big deal made of it.

It's so good. But Stan, if you said Stan, like no one's going to go, oh. It's Stu's very close to Stan. Right. Or like Sam? Yeah, yeah. Oh, great story. What was his coffee order? Do you remember that one? Just a plain flat wipe.

Oh, what a man. Same order as me. Oh, God. Okay, well, three fantastic contenders. Sean, only one can win. We've got Hannah, who got the sweaty selfie in the warehouse in 2012. We've got Shy,

whose dad's old house appears in a Stan Wilco music video, and she was in that house when they were filming in that. spying on them through the window. Well, we've got Rebecca, who once served a coffee to the Stan Walker, who was pretending to be Bob or Stu. I'm going to stop you there, Steph.

We're giving it to Shai today. Congratulations, Shai. Oh, yay, thank you. You watched a music video from the comfort of your own home. You never met him. You never talked to him. You don't even have any video or photographic evidence that this happened. It's right in the vein of what we're after, Shai.

Congratulations. Woo-hoo! with Sean, Steph and Harrison. Perusing the depths of the interwebs today, Steph, as we so often do, I came across a list, a list that someone created, of the things that men do, hobbies, etc., that make them less attractive to women. Okay, fantastic, hit me.

Do you do all of these, or how many of them do you do? You just started jujitsu, so is that on the list? Not on the list. These are the 15 hobbies that make men less attractive. I'll bring producer nurse salmon on this as well. The number one thing, comic books. Do you agree with that? If you see a guy and he reads comic books,

that feels like an outdated stereotype to me. Once again, this just happened this week. Yeah, I think reading them, collating them, having anything to do with them. Yeah, pretty unattractive. Okay, I'd agree with that one. Number two, cosplay. Dressing up with his mates.

I'm in the end of that. No. Depends. You know what I'm saying? You naughty little girl? I don't know. Yeah. I don't know.

It doesn't... I wouldn't yuck someone else's yum, maybe. Debating. Like in a club? Yeah, these are hobbies. I don't know. That was like an adult hobby. I thought that was just something you do at school.

Sure. I mean, I don't know if that's unattractive. Because maybe they're trying to be a lawyer or something. Maybe they're just proud of, I don't know. I'm pregnant. Yeah, I don't know. That's a bit upy. I can't decide.

As a hobby, like they enjoy it? True, is that a bit of a red flag actually? Because it's like if you enjoy arguing. Yeah. I don't know. If you've just tuned in, these are the top 15 least attractive hobbies to women that men could do. Number four, drinking.

Yeah. Depends how the extent and how all frequent, but yeah, I'd agree with that. Yeah, absolutely. This is all over the show. Number five, Magic the Gathering, which is a card game. No. Oh, magic.

I love magic. No, ick, yuck. I used to want to marry a magician. No, Steph. It still opens. Not ring on this finger. This isn't a magician. This is like that nerdy card game called magic.

And they sit around and they play. It's like a trading card game. Happy, happy about that. You don't mind it. I love all magic, Sean. All magic. All every single little bit of it. I think you're confused.

I think you think that at some point they're going to pull a rabbit out of the hat, which they're not. They're just going to sit around and push. It's like Pokemon, but like a different version. Oh, okay. Does it involve magic? No. Oh, okay.

there no. The next thing on the list of top 15 least attractive hobbies that men could have according to women, anime? No. No way, Jose. This is funny. The next one, cryptocurrency.

Oh. I mean, it's great to have a guy with money, but isn't it so boring when someone tries to talk to you about crypto? Unless they've got millions in their bank account, in which case, heck yes. Yeah, that's a good point. The next one on the list, clubbing?

Oh, like a hobby of just clubbing? Nah, I'd find that pretty unattractive. too. Yeah, nah. Nah. The Devil's Lettis is the next one. It's quite far down the list, actually. Um, it doesn't face me.

As a regular hobby? Nah. Arguing with people online. Ooh, they're the words. Trolls. And then below those, the last two porn and gambling, which are lower than all the rest of those, which I found kind of interesting. I feel like those two are quite big ones.

Yeah, I mean, it depends on the extent of the problem, if it becomes a problem or not. But, yeah. Yeah, not as a regular hobby. Nah. Okay, so if you want to be more attractive to women, you're a man. No cosplaying, no comic books. Those are the two big takeaways from that. I hope you take something away from that, Sean,

and really change the way you've been living your life. I love cosplaying. I like love a Halloween party. I always go way too far with it. I'll get really dressed up. I've heard about your dress-up box. I do have a dress-up box. Oh, I know.

Oh, my God, we need to bring this to the show. I don't know about your dress-up box. I live in a two-bedroom apartment, and like a large portion of it is taken up by a dress-up box. We will be discussing tomorrow. To be continued. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

And today we are opening up, Steph, the flatmate hall of shame. This is a part of the show where you can call 0-800 the Edge and submit your flatmate who has either a current flatmate, an ex-flatmate who's done something pretty horrendous. What have we had in the past? Someone plastered over a wall with a pizza hot box. Oh, I think that was intern Lily. I didn't want to say that.

But it was definitely into believe. And we invite you to call through on 0800 The Edge or text to 3343 and share your past horrific flatmate experiences for fun. Chris joins us right now. Chris, who are you putting into the flatmate Hall of Shame today, my friends? I'm putting in a flat. I lived in about two and a half years ago. There were five people, including me,

but the other four were all in a polyamorous relationship with about 12 or 13 other people, give or take. yeah you would just like come home from work to like group relations like if I do a bit of night works you'd come home quite late at night and be huge parties you know sometimes the bath would be locked up for a couple hours just all hours of the night really hearing some some kind of group relationship going on I am just shocked that is just crazy so when you moved into the flat criss did the other four flatmates go hey mate by the way we're all dating and we're all so all dating 12 other people and sometimes they come over and we just have a little group session

in the lounge. There was a bit of like organic creep. One guy sort of fell into this group and then the rest of the flat were like, actually that seems kind of sick. And then yeah, just over time our house turned into like a low key like hippie commune. So you'd have like RVs like parked out on our lawn and stuff just plugged in, siphoning power out of our house and stuff. Chris, did they ever offer you the invitation to do.

join in on any of the fun? I did have a girlfriend at the time, and there was offers made, but it was very respectful when we reiterated that we were monogamous. Yes. Okay. Wow. Really? Any regrets there?

In the nicest way possible, because they were very nice people, but nothing breaks up a polyamorous group like an actual good-looking person. Yeah, I love the confidence. Oh, my God. Wow, that's so insane. How long did you last in a flat? About two years? What?

I thought you were about to say two weeks. Like, you moved in, you realised the situation, you moved right back out again. Wow. So what? It was close to work. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah, convenience.

Convenience. Close to work. So you didn't spend much on transport to and from work and you got some little, like, I don't know, orgy action. Or just the sounds of it at least. That's good. It's a good deal. It's a good deal. Really?

At your own house. Hey, who could ask for more? Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The Flatmate Hall of Shame is open right now. O-800 The Edge. Okay, let's start with Sarah. On 0800 the Edge, tell us about your flatmate of shame.

So we had a flatmate who kept to himself in his room and just, like, ordered over-eats constantly. And his room stank. And so the landlords gave us all of work. week's notice of inspections because we'd complained and he had a full week's notice and the only clean-up that he did was that he

organized all of the fast food into the larger KFC bags and so there was to his credit a path now to his bed and there was a tower of pizza boxes in front of his PC tower, fire hazards it still stank

and his excuse to the landlord was, well, I have cleaned up, it's now clean rubbish because he's thrown out the chicken bones. And what we say to that, Sarah? Shame. A huge shame. Shame on his name. Oh my God. Yuck. How can people live like that? That is disgusting. A great call there, Sarah. Thanks, Sarah. Kristen from Christchurch. How are you, May? Good to hear from you.

Good, isn't you? Yeah, good, thanks. Who is your flatmate that you're putting in the hall of shame? So it was actually my brother and we were flatting together and I was away for the weekend and he had his girlfriend come over and stay and rather than texting me and saying, hey, we've just be a roomkey. I need to borrow some clothes for my girlfriend or anything like that. He kicked open my door and helped himself to whatever clothes his partner wanted. Weird. Weird. Where did they draw the line there? We're talking hoodies and jumpers or are we talking t-shirts? Or are we talking, God forbid, underwe? Oh yeah, bras and underwear No! No, you're joking, Kristen.

He took some photos off of wearing it and sent it to me. You're joking me. I'm kind of like, that's bloody disgusting, mate. Yeah, it's a little incesty. That's insane. Okay, Kristen. Sheem. Shame.

Shame on his name. Oh my God. Did you like rip him to shreds after that? I moved out. Yeah. And I've never talked to my brother-sunts. Yeah. Oh, actually?

Yeah. Oh. Okay. Oh. Just one more time. Shee. I mean, it was pretty weird. Your Ravos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. We had some Ed Shearing tickets to give away earlier today. We decided to do it in a fun game of Ed Shearerun or Ed Steelerin. Yeah, we are two callers. Either chose to share one ticket each. or steal the ticket from the other person. They couldn't hear each other's answers. Courtney and her son came out on the bottom

and didn't end up with any tickets, but we love the values that you've taught your son, Courtney. I mean, it was a pretty wholesome thing to do, and we thought it deserved a little prize that we give away here on the show. Yeah, 100%. Oh, thank you guys. But he is the best boy.

Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, I hope you enjoyed the podcast. It's just Steph and I today, but you've listened to the podcast. You're aware of that, and you've still made it this far. This is the podcast outro.

Go a little off script here. Producer Nurse Sam's giving us a hat full of prompts that we can pull out here to try and, I don't know, I guess create funny vibes and chat. We'll just get to know each other. Well, Harrison's not hearing you and I have known each other. decade, so this feels like a moot point. They're the very AI.

That one said, do a radio break intro and your best American pop station voice. Sam, Sam, you came up with, though. You're going to give us a live prompt. I can't hear you. What was that? Hello?

Hello. We're looking through your incredibly AI generated prompts. Oh, yes. No, I thought of them myself. Do a radio break intro in your best American pop station voice. I want to hear yours, Sam, actually. American.

Yeah, pop station. To me honest with you, when I was thinking, let's do this, but like, what are you preparing for it? I was thinking when we're thinking of these prompts because this is kind of the looser, this is the outro, this is sparking things. I thought maybe prompts like, where'd you lose your virginity?

Like those kind of things. Oh, so needy. I'm just saying that, like, that's, you know? I can definitely add some more in, but I kind of whip that up in life. five minutes. So yeah, thanks Chair GPT for that. But if you want an American American radio host intro,

you're tuning in to 994. Point B, freak, I don't know. Point B, point B, I don't know. So what our listeners might not know about Sam actually, and we haven't really kind of fully... Oh, get to know Sam. Like, oh dear. Juiced all of her talents out yet.
