Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, welcome to the podcast.
Thanks for clicking on this.
Big show today.
A lot of competitiveness.
I kept it pretty mellow, I reckon.
Yeah, different sides I saw to you guys today.
Oh, you knew I was like that.
Oh, no, I did not.
Really?
Even me?
Neither of you.
Yeah, you guys were locked in.
Ping-Pong championship you guys played today.
It was pretty intense.
Yeah, it was good.
also enjoyed Harrison
talking about how he almost
proposed to his girlfriend, but like as a joke
which was a bit tough. It didn't land
very well, I guess what you listened to it, but
didn't do great. Anyway, it's all coming up.
Enjoy it.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and
Harrison. The Edge.
Yay!
And the vibes on Friday here on the
Ajavo's extra long mix at 5pm.
We'll go as long as
you want. You can get your request through for the pick and mix
now you pick a song, I do a mix for it.
Also the Arvo Polo Challenge
happening today.
Yeah.
Prove to you, Sean, and everyone who voted that I'd lose at the Olympics on our poll yesterday
on Instagram that actually I can beat Sean in a sport.
And that's a great thing about the Arvopolo challenge.
It's the opportunity for you to actually put pen to paper and figure it out.
Because obviously the Arvolo just vibes.
Just vibes.
Surely vibes.
And we did a little, we did a lot of sporting challenge yesterday off the microphones.
Yeah, and I've wanted to pull to my neck.
A bit of volleyball.
You've actually come in today, injured, Steph.
Sore than usual.
It's very interesting for a day of today
where you did want to challenge the sports pole.
Got it.
Yeah, got it.
You might have to subbing for me.
Okay.
Oh no, I don't want him to subbing
because I genuinely think he is the most athletic on the show.
Remember when we played body boys today?
He was the best.
He was the best.
You're a good.
With Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
10,000 bucks to be given away right now.
Win $10,000 right now with the Edge.
10K.
A E Z money.
You've never played before.
The rules are very simple.
We'll give you a letter between E and Z.
Hence the name.
30 seconds on the clock, 10 questions.
Answer each one with a word of that letter.
Win 10,000 bucks?
All right, let's go to the phones.
And hopefully, Alan from Christchurch.
We'll be our lucky one of this Friday.
Oh, my God, Alan, $10,000.
What would you do with it?
Epic.
I'd get lots of tattoos.
Oh, nice to ads, Alan.
Nice to ads.
What tattoos would you get you mad?
dog?
Oh, look, it's getting in my arm sleeve finished and then the other arm started and possibly
the back, but just lots of bits to get done, eh?
The one thing people aren't talking about enough and cost of living is how expensive
tattoos are.
I'm with you, Alan.
I've got about 20.
I haven't got any in the last two years because it's so expensive.
That's it.
It's like $250 an hour, eh?
And you get bugger all done.
Ellen, if you want $10 grand right now from the edge, would one of your tattoos be like that?
One of us.
The edge logo.
Or I'm just like thinking maybe instead of one of our faces.
I can one of our faces.
What about faces?
If you win, mate, you're going to get all three.
Really?
If I win that 10 grand, I'd probably get all three somewhere.
So, yeah.
We're holding you to that, mate.
Make it easy.
Give them a very easy one.
Oh, my God.
Should we get some way to you now?
Some answers.
I've never won.
Give them answers, really.
Give them the letter.
The letter's S.
Okay.
All good letter.
There's your head start.
The letter's S for Sam.
S for Sam.
Or Steph?
Yep. Or salmon.
Okay, or Steph, yeah.
Which might be tattooed on your body forever in a minute.
Okay, here we go.
Alan from Christchurch.
Our boss is really worried about how many we're giving away to you right now, Alan.
He's not loving it from the...
We really want Ellen to win.
I really want to tattoo it.
For $10,000, Alan from Christchurch, with the letter S.
Please.
Wait, you know the rules, right?
You can pass and hopefully we'll have time to get back to it.
No repeated answers.
And your time will begin when I finish saying the first one.

Yep, yep.
On to it.

That's a sport star.
Oh.
Your time.
That a sport star was your tenth and final question.
Oh, are you kidding me?
Oh, mate, I'm so sorry.
You were so close.
What do we have accepted all of the others?
Like for a tourist attraction, you said Singapore.
Singapore.
What is an attraction?
No, the boss is saying thumbs down to that one.
That would have said, you said something you plug in.
You said sock it.
Oh.
That was the one I was going to pull you up for.
That literally is the plug.
It's the plug.
Yeah.
Mate, Alan, your speed, you ready, did you, mate?
Good effort, brother.
So, happy.
So speed.
I love that you didn't pass and you just rip through.
Yeah.
Just keep going.
That's the key.
That's the key.
Yeah, well, enjoy the $100, Alan, put it towards your tattoos
and maybe just Harrison's nose or something.
That could look good.
Yeah.
Cheers, guys.
Thank you.
Cheers, Alan.
That's right.
100 bucks coming your way.
All thanks to BNZ, who believe there is.
who believe there is an artist starting something new
and like any art form you need the right tools
to make it work. Hey your next chance to play
7 and 8 a.m with Clint Meg and Dan
Ash London filling in for me at the moment
on Monday morning. I read something
that all adults need to be doing
every single day. It's something that babies do.
In fact, we encourage babies to do this thing
and adults, we need tummy time too.
Oh, tummy time.
I think they say being burped. Yeah.
Although that would be. That would feel nice actually.
I was going to say eating vegetables, blend it up.
Vegetable mash.
Yeah.
I thought you were about to say, suck it on.
Nipples.
We'll go there next on the edge.
Your Avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The edge.
If you are a parent, you'll be very familiar with the term tummy time.
Harrison was saying off the year, he's never heard of it.
No, I don't know what tummy time is.
I think maybe it's like, it's for babies, eh?
For babies.
But maybe it's putting like the baby's ear up.
to your mum's tummy or something?
Like the mum lies down and the baby lies on its side onto the tummy.
What would they be listening for?
I don't know, just a heartbeat or something that they used to listen to.
That's very cute.
That's what I think.
Tummy time is?
I don't actually really know because I don't have a kid,
but is it something about like baby's heads not ending up weird or something?
Or like their spine or something?
Yeah, it's because babies can't really hold their head up properly.
Yeah, you'd always have their hand on the back of the head.
What?
You've got to have the hand on the back of the head.
Oh, when you're holding them, yeah, yeah.
But even like when they're sleeping and stuff,
they can't really move around.
And so it's to prevent like a bit of a flathead situation.
You want to kind of make sure.
Oh, flathead, that's it.
Yeah.
They're like flat at the back.
Because they're moldy.
You can mould the babies, eh?
Oh, their skulls aren't fully formed.
So yeah, at the top there, you have to be very careful with the fun stuff.
If they're asleep on a mouse, say computer mouse,
that have an indent in their head of a computer mouse.
Yeah, exactly.
Like that's the vibe.
What about the soft spot?
Is it to do with the soft spot?
No.
Anyway, no.
Like, patiae?
No, well, like, they're very soft.
Yeah, yeah.
Here at the top, at the very top of the forehead, that's like a very, very,
it's called the Fontenelle where the bones haven't joined yet,
so it's just a gap.
It's basically just like skin and then brain.
That's why it's like very, very kind of scary.
Yeah, truly.
And so that kind of closes up.
Why don't you put a helmet on Rocco?
No, you doesn't have to be careful.
Like rugby head gear?
And so tummy time is to prevent the back of the head,
like above the spine area from going flat
because when they're sleeping they can't move themselves
so you want to be able to
and also strengthen their neck
and have them you know like
you know strengthen their core
and it's just good exercise for them you know
well apparently we stopped doing tummy time
after we're all a baby
like you would have had it done to you
when you were a little baby as well Harrison
but um
the back of his head's pretty flat
yeah it's true I'm just looking at it now
maybe it is a weird bump in my head too
um but adults
is supposed to be having tummy time as well.
According to an expert, adults should be getting up off of their, like, seats.
A lot of people are sitting.
45% of the day adults are sitting, according to this new study.
So when you're at work, when you're at your medical centre job, your teaching job,
your whatever job you've got, you need to get on the floor on your tummy and lift up your head
and have some tummy time.
I'll show you a photo.
Here's a baby doing it.
Harrison. Oh yeah, they're doing the little play mats. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they're looking
around and they're getting strength behind their necks. And that's exactly why adults need to
do it as well. I'm not doing that. I love the idea of being in an office and men like, I'm just
going to work at the standing desk for a bit and then I'm going to go have some tummy time.
I know. Tummies on. Go back to sitting down. Yeah, it's to prevent bad posture and
relieve technique because we're always on our phones and stuff. So just for 10 minutes a day,
experts are encouraging everybody,
you listening to get on your tummy,
read a book, maybe watch TV that way tonight,
maybe on the floor of your lounge or something.
Really? Yeah, just...
I kind of get there, because you know you can slouch in your chair
and your spine kind of curls.
If you're on your tummy, you're doing the reverse of that.
Exactly.
You're curling it the other way.
That's exactly what it is.
Ah, okay.
Something to do this weekend.
Probably not in the club or in the pub tonight.
You might get voted out for that.
I mean, if you forget to do it,
the club's probably the perfect spot to do it.
because there's things to look at.
You know, this is going on.
It's a cool shoes.
It might get them in the way.
Your avos head harder with Sean,
Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Sean's five-star fact.
And I'm on a journey to provide you with a fact
that is so good that you'll just have to tell
every single person in your life this weekend.
And it's just unfaltable.
It's five-star fact.
Well, you've tried many, many, many, many, many attempts at this,
Sean, and you've never quite nailed it.
So, hey, maybe the 25th of July is,
is your magical day.
God, I hope so.
Same.
I've gotten close.
I've actually in the last two weeks
I've been tracking the data now
because I want to learn from my mistakes.
I've had two 4.9s.
Yeah, you did get close recently with a fact
and there's a really good feeling.
Although then I had a back-to-back day
where I had a 4.9 and then there's zero.
So, you know, it's...
Yeah.
Sometimes you miss, sometimes you hit.
Yesterday is when you did a dog fact
and my dog died the day before yesterday.
So that was sensitive for me yesterday,
so I didn't judge yesterday.
Yeah, that's right.
That was a non-judge yesterday.
Non-judge yesterday.
Sorry about that.
I thought it might cheer you up, but it's almost like the opposite.
Yeah.
Hey, today's new day and as your judges, we are looking for a fact that is original, a fact that is shareable,
and a fact that is well-performed.
Now, I'm going to be reading you out of five stars.
Harrison will be and producer Nurse Sam as well.
You need three five-star ratings.
Today's fact is it's not about dogs, it's not about cats.
It's about squirrels.
Today's five-s are fact is squirrels
lose 80% of the nuts that they hide.
How cute is that?
I saw all these nuts away and they can't find them again.
Stupid squirrels?
Oh, mate.
Imagine if you hid something, Sean,
and then 80% of the time you couldn't ever find it again.
And then we looked at you and said,
oh, cute, he's lost everything.
He's lost almost everything.
And also you...
No, it wouldn't be cute because then you can't speak back to us.
In your head you'd be like,
no please help me try and find my nut
and us humans are like
and you're like no
yeah look at them all distressed
you'd be like help me
they are they're cute
did you hear the noises
I do wish New Zealand has squirrels though
would they like murder the birds
yeah but everything's murdering the birds
they are they are they're all squirrels they can fly
they can fly no
yes they can't
flying squirrels but normal squirrels can't
I think all squirrels can fly
I don't think so
and also they jump
they don't actually fly
I'm not a screen of my life, but I'm pretty sure they can all fly.
All right, let's go to the judging panel, Sean, producer nurse, Sam.
Wait, do you look that that's cute, Sam?
They can't find that storing all the squirrel little nuts, and they can't find them.
Yeah, it's kind of cute.
It's kind of cute.
But I did some fact-checking, Sean.
Oh, good.
That's what we've got you.
And, however, there are other studies indicating that squirrels actually recover 90 to 95% of their buried nuts.
Oh, yay!
That's good.
So it's like a temporary loss, and then they find them a very loss.
Yes, yes. Some of their lost nuts are actually like intentionally re-buried somewhere else.
So again, he's read a headline, he hasn't fat checked and it's a half-fact.
To be honest, I read it and I thought that sounds pretty cute. I'll say that.
But isn't that even better now that there's a redemption story for these squirrels?
Yeah, from the judge-new Sam.
Yeah, now I'm doing the work for you, aren't I?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, yes.
Thank you.
I'm going to give it a two. A cute little two.
Yeah.
I'm going to give it a one.
I don't think it's cute at all.
It's real evil for you to go.
Isn't that cute?
I thought that it was an evil.
It's evil.
I don't like evil facts.
Okay.
Okay, I'm going to go three.
It's only in the middle and on average it's a two out of five.
So there you go.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I thought it was it better.
But that's okay.
Of course you did.
Of course you want to do.
We'll be back on Monday.
Back with a new five-star fact.
But up next on the show, Harrison, you,
as the one member of the show who isn't betrothed or engaged,
you were still trying to get benefits from that.
Yeah, I did a fake engagement surprise on my partner the other day
to get something for free and how do you reckon she took it?
That is crazy.
Not good.
My boyfriend of four years doing that, probably not the best.
No.
My God, I can't wait to find out.
We'll get the story next on the edge.
Clint, Megan Dan.
With Ash London.
Post-code playlist.
Does your town need an original son?
Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph,
Anne Harrison.
The Edge.
Guys, as you know, you're both engaged.
What?
Are we?
Don't make me marry him.
To each other.
I can't do a lifetime with him.
Because I propose to someone else.
I'm pretty sure I propose to someone else,
but sometimes I get these things wrong.
Yes.
We all know that Sean is definitely engaged to his partner, Jeannie.
That was very fresh news.
Okay, you don't act that excited that we're not engaged
because I do think we would work out.
Oh, God.
There's no way we would.
And Steve has been engaged for 10 years?
I don't know.
2011.
No, no, no, sorry, I was 19 then.
God, no, that's when we got together.
It was 2019.
Oh, yeah, but six years.
Yeah, about that.
Okay, and I'm not engaged.
L loser?
Why, why not?
But you have been with Sarah your girlfriend for like four years.
That probably is the next step.
Yeah, well, how long are you with Jenny before you get engaged?
Five, we have five.
That's crazy.
That's crazy to me.
What do you mean?
Is that, like, a short amount of time?
That feels right?
Yeah, like I love it.
I'm not going to engage anytime soon.
Although you're 25, I'm 30.
You are very old.
You are very old.
Yeah, Sean.
Oldie.
Oh, man.
But I decided, me and my girlfriend are lovely.
We had a day off last weekend to hang out.
So I thought I'd take her out for dinner to someone very nice.
And so I book us for, and it's very hard to book.
I always find I've tried it before, but it took us to the Sky Tower.
The old, the 360, you know, the restaurant.
The revolving restaurant.
The revolving restaurant.
It turns around.
I've never been there.
Is that cool?
It turns around.
It's awesome.
And it gives you city views of the whole thing, you know.
You're about to retire, Sean, in your old age.
You'll have plenty of time to do that.
Oh, I'm so old.
You're our old, man.
And to book, you have to, like, you book all the set menu and stuff,
and then there's an option to go, what is this occasion for?
Yeah.
Is it a recent graduation?
Is it a kid's birthday?
Is it a marriage?
Is it an engagement?
I was looking at all of them, and I was like, you know, the only one I could pick is probably
engagement.
And you're probably thinking why I haven't pick any?
Yeah.
Because I've seen that when you do these things,
they usually bring out like free cake or something.
I can attest to that.
Yeah.
Got free wine on Saturday.
And they treat you really nice.
I presume I'd predict that my head all the chefs would come out and stuff
and so happy engagement or whatever.
It says, oh, that would be a bit of a laugh.
Pretty funny.
Get a free slice of cake.
He wasn't planning and proposing or anything.
And then we go up and we get her.
She's stowed.
And we sit down.
And then the waitresses and waiters come out.
But a group of six of them were the cake and a candle.
and hand it to her
and it says in like
chocolate sauce
and play happy engagement
and she goes
oh my God
but like the kind of oh my god
is in
oh my god are you guys
is he gonna propose to me
and there's gonna be
you didn't give her a heads up
oh my god
you have to give her a heads up
I didn't think about giving her heads up
she would have been like oh my god
they've ruined it
they've bought the cake out too early
he has a proposed yet
that's what she thought
and I was like oh yeah thanks guys
thanks guys
and then I kind of winked at
my partner
And then they walked off and she was like, was that a joke?
I said, yeah, it was just to get the free, um, the free cake and stuff, isn't it?
Isn't it? I don't know what to select. Isn't that kind of funny?
No, no, no, no.
Yeah, yeah.
We're funny.
So you're, in your head, you're going, we've only been together four and a bit years.
She'd never expect it coming.
She's going, we've been together four and a bit years.
It's on the horizon.
Well, maybe that's what it was.
I think so.
And so the dinner, guys, it was like, we still, that was like between the entree.
the main course. For some reason, who does that? It wasn't for dessert.
It was between the first and second course.
They brought up the cake before dinner. Just a slice of cake.
Sorry, you're going to criticise the manner in which you got a free cake.
Not going to lie. I'm pretty gutted of when they gave me the cake. I'm like, wait for dessert.
You shouldn't have got the cake to start off me?
We had two more hours sitting there. Pretty unpleasant dinner for us.
Have you learned a big lesson? Yeah, but I was just like, oh, babe, it's a bit of a fun free time, but no, no.
No, I'm not getting engaged to you. What are you thinking?
Come on an actor. Play along.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Arvo! Polo!
That's a poll that we do every day on our Edge Arvo's Instagram.
And on Fridays, we do the Arvo Polo Challenge.
So this is where we'll recap all the polls for the week that we've run.
Who's won them, who's lost them,
and one person who's lost can challenge the polls.
Producer Nurse Sam, going to you in the booth right now
with today's this week's poll votes.
Oh, thanks to turning my mic on.
Whoa.
I love Sam, by the line.
Sorry, I'm getting carried away.
It's Friday.
Okay, so we've got two people in Thai this week and one winner.
Like the recap of the week.
Is that what we want?
Yes.
Yeah, cool.
So the two people in Thai are Sean and Steph.
First place, Harrison.
Shaw Harrison.
Okay, so what were the polls this week that we ran?
We had.
Who is the most photogenic?
And...
Who won that?
Okay.
Sean lost.
Who would be the best mayor?
Harrison won that and Sean lost.
Who parties the hardest?
Harrison won that and Steph lost that one.
And then who would represent New Zealand at the Olympics?
Sean won that.
Hmm.
And Steph lost.
I told you.
You're funny today, Sam.
You're crazy, man.
Sorry, you don't think I deserve to win that one?
No, I think you've just talked about.
We talked up a big game over the last 24 hours and yeah, you should be how to catamble.
In fact, Let's, can we listen to a few bits and pieces that Sean has said on the show about being the quite best athlete on the team?
Easy.
Easy.
It's not easy.
It's not easy.
It would be me, wouldn't it?
Well, why do you mean it would be me, wouldn't it?
Pure athletic ability.
What are you trying to say?
Why couldn't I represent New Zealand at the Olympics?
Just natural, just physical ability.
Look at that smirk.
Did you just see him?
I know.
And it went on and on and on, honestly.
Why is this an obvious choice for people to make short?
Physical prowess.
That's the same thing.
I stand by it.
And obviously the people do as well because they voted for it.
But you can challenge it?
You want to challenge it?
And then we had our pre-show meeting today.
That was ugly.
Yeah.
That was not a good meeting.
God hate it.
We mentioned it.
What did Sean say?
Sean said something like, oh, well, when was the last sports team you played on, Steph?
It feels like a fair call if you're going to represent the country at the Olympics.
picks.
You because you're all, just all of the things you're pulling back to, Steph, were from high school.
And you were an amazing athlete in high school.
This is where I need to defend myself here, and I have a witness waiting on 0800 the edge.
We've had to call Chris Parker joining us on the show right now.
He does have bad reception.
But Chris, I played in your indoor netball team one time.
Do you remember what was it called again?
Balls date.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that the name of the team?
Yeah.
I'm going to let you explain to Sean Chris how amazing I was.
Yeah.
I forgot.
I'm no like
Nipple ledge
but yeah
I would say your next answer
to Irene Van Dyke.
Your phone's really
really cutting out
but I heard
Steph's as good as Irene
Van Dyke.
I just heard Irene Van Dyke.
I heard Steph
something Van Dyke.
I heard as good as
if not better then.
You're as good as Irene
Van Dyke and then I crash
and that's the last word
to ever say.
Okay we'll let you continue
You're driving, Chris.
Sorry to bother you.
But see...
Stop, I shoot.
Still got to you.
He's gone.
He's gone.
He's gone.
Bye, Chris.
No, he's gone now.
See?
I told you, though, it wasn't even high school.
It was like a year or two or three or maybe four.
Four years ago.
Shame.
Four years ago, you filled in for his netball team once and you had a good game.
Is your argument.
Harrison, would you like to describe what you see in the studio before you?
Somebody has prepared a...
a ping pong table, which is the size of the studio.
It's massive.
I'm presuming someone wants to play ping pong.
God, I hope so.
That is a bit of an ice.
I challenge you, Sean, to a table tennis round,
where we will jump on Instagram live, literally right now,
eJavos, and everyone can watch once and for all,
me beating Sean in a sport.
After Sean quote said,
I'd beat you at every single sport that exists.
deal so this is the challenge today you're challenging that poll
yes all right so we'll start playing now and when we come back in two songs
whoever is up wins sure um Harrison do you want an umpire
I love to do you know the rules yeah
I've never played it before but sure
your Arvo's head harder with Sean Steph and Harrison
The Edge every day on our Edge afternoons
Edge Arbos is the name of it Instagram we do something called
Harrison
Arbo
Polo
So it's a poll.
Every Friday, we'll get a little recap on the polls of the week.
And one person who's lost the poll will have a chance to challenge it,
and Steph has done so this week.
The poll that I challenged was,
who do you think would represent New Zealand at the Olympics?
And out of the three of us, I lost.
Harrison came second, Sean won.
I'm challenging that because Sean was so cocky,
he was so arrogant.
He was like, oh, of course I was going to win that one.
Everyone was going to vote for me.
I play basketball.
And then he goes, I'd probably beat you in every single sport that exists.
No, no.
That is what you said.
No, I've got a list of all the sports I said I beat you at.
Two one second.
I said any athletic event, soccer, cricket, basketball, golf, any form of rugby, any martial arts, hockey,
volleyball, swimming and cycling.
Yeah, but originally it was every sport.
And so I've challenged you to a table tennis tournament that we've just been doing while
those songs were playing and everyone could have gone to watch on Instagram at your Javos.
And can I say how seriously?
silly it look because it's
pyjama day at work today
and then Steph was so heated
playing ping pong in the corner of the studio
in our pajamas.
Yeah, I am, umpired it.
Production news, Sam's on there too.
The energy was tense.
So I know the score.
We were cutting it out.
No, see, this is, you guys need to just pull it back
a little bit, okay?
I think you should argue with the referee
or an umpire as much.
Okay.
But they were going, Sean, it's the score.
It's this score.
It's like, guys, I am watching very intently.
I do know the score.
So you have the score?
And at one point, you'd literally both said,
what's the score?
Okay, it's this.
It's like, well, you've lost it.
I know what the score is.
Okay, so you've got a winner?
But for our favours, can we please trust my score?
I don't want any...
Backchette, I don't want any question.
Oh, well, I'll trust your score if it's the same score I've got on my head.
Steve?
Okay, fine.
If you want to play the game fairly, you're going to trust my score.
Okay.
I judge very fairly.
Okay. Fine.
Competitiveness, aside with the scores for a second, guys, please.
Before we read out the results, can we just say, whoever wins is the best athlete on the show?
And would represent New Zealand the best at the Olympics?
Well, second best, because you didn't play with me.
Because I thought I was the best athlete and it was between you two.
Oh, okay, I said actually didn't get a chance.
Okay, okay, between Tchon and Steph, one of us.
One of you were the best between you two.
Okay.
Up there with me.
Fine.
There's a one point difference.
There wasn't.
I won.
Steph.
It was 17, 12.
Do you know what I'm taking out of this?
And Steph, sorry, Harrison, sorry, you've got your results.
Yeah.
You'll read them out of it.
I just want to say beforehand.
Yes.
In our school that we did, Steph did.
one by about five points.
But my problem with this is, right, we're all
competitive in the situation. I feel
like I'm wearing, everyone against
is against Sean today.
Everyone's like, Andrewsler
Sam is actively rooting for theft.
Sean, you might win in Harrison's scoring.
Can I also say in the game, that's crazy to
score. There was a lot of moves
that I wouldn't let fly, but you carried
on. Oh, double bounces, triple bounces.
And you're doing it and you go, yep, that's mine.
Yep, that's mine. Like, guys, you're not really, okay.
So from what I got genuinely seriously fairly
It was 1514
To Steph
Yes
It's good
So Steph is
Unless you want to argue my scoring
No please no judge
No Steve is the best player
On the team between Sean and Steph
Congratulations
The winner of the most likely
To represent New Zealand at the Olympics
Was that the poll
Yeah
Yeah that was the pole
Your Avos hit harder
With Sean
Steph and Harrison
the edge.
So we were asking you on, oh, we've lost him.
Sam, producer, I know Sam, could you please quickly call him back?
Oh, no.
We're asking the question, have you ever hooked up with a boss?
And, um, because I mean, she was, she was hooking up with the CEO at the time.
And a lot of people would do it.
And we're not condoning affairs here.
Maybe you were both single at the time.
Oh, so you work at a place every day.
Uh-huh.
Arguably more than your home a lot of the time.
Of course you're going to fall in love with people.
Right.
If you're single, of course, you're going to, you know, hoking up with them.
I reckon the stats will be so high of people who found love in a workplace.
I reckon our boss is hot too.
Okay.
The new one?
You're the new one, Adrian.
Okay.
Well, he's married.
Doesn't matter.
Okay.
I don't even have an affair with him.
I just think he's a whole guy.
Okay, all right.
Let's talk about a fear.
No, I'm not going to hook up with him.
Okay, but you did back in the day.
Yeah, not from here.
Back in the day in Hawks Bay, I did.
But I mean, Adrian.
Nurse Sam.
So there's always a Christmas party?
I don't think we're going to get him back on.
I don't think he wasn't soon.
Just here, Harrison, he said there's always the Christmas party.
Well, there's always a good money.
No, it happens.
I think that's honestly where it happens a lot of it, eh?
Yeah.
Drinks get flying.
It's okay, Nurse Sam.
Don't worry about it.
If Chris doesn't want to talk, it's fine.
But you actually, you did hook up with your boss once, right?
Are you happy to talk about it, producing a Sam?
Yeah, I don't mind.
Did I just out you?
Yeah, you totally did.
Oh, you don't need to talk about it if you want to.
No, it's okay.
No, yeah, okay.
Are we talk about it or we're not.
You're not.
That's you.
We can if you want.
Yeah.
It's not a big deal.
If you want, if you want.
Why'd you say we can
and put your thumbs down?
What?
I don't know if I'm so confused.
Well, guys, Chris is back now.
So Chris, do you want to ask us all right.
Yeah, thank God Chris.
What great timing that was.
Let's see it.
Go to Chris.
I don't think Sam would have to talk about it.
Sorry, Sam.
But Chris, what's your experience?
The question is, have you ever hooked up with a boss before?
If you could just put the radio off in the background,
that would be a big help.
But Chris, what's your story?
So, yeah.
So, back in,
In 2004, I was a manager of three establishments, and we had our Christmas function, and we all got a bit toasted, and I ended up going home with the boss to find out the next day that her husband was banging on the hotel room door demanding that she comes out.
Oh, it's all good.
Harrison hit the nail on the head, Christmas parties, though.
It happens, especially with the bosses.
Okay, wow.
What happened then?
Did you sneak out?
No, so they ended up getting a divorce.
She ended up moving back overseas, over to Europe,
and he is now, funnily enough, living three doors down from where I live.
Oh, you can't escape each other.
This is all because of you, Chris?
Yes, but he doesn't recognize me, so I'm okay.
He recognizes you.
He does exactly who you are, Chris.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
It's the part of the show where it's called Yes No Maybe.
Harrison will run a social scenario by Steph and myself,
and I will help him out with a few social cues.
Steph, you have a child, 14 months old, Rocco.
You're almost 15 months old in the first, yeah.
There we go.
Happy early birthday, Rocho.
Sean, you've recently engaged.
Probably going to have a kid very soon, I could imagine.
Yeah, we're not that safe.
You're ticking off all the life things.
It's probably going to go there.
I would love kids in my future.
So today's list is kind of preparation for that.
Things I'd do if I was running my five-year-olds birthday party.
Cute.
I'm excited to have birthday parties for my kids, you know.
That would be such a fun phase of life.
So imagining this child is five years old.
Yeah.
This is a party.
First thing on the list, always top the music on my kid during past the puzzle.
Steph, you're the only one who is a parent.
That's got to be an instinct day.
I mean, you want your kid to get something.
You want them to win.
You want them to win.
Yeah, the other's kind of a lollipop or so.
But producer nurse Sam's nodding.
She's her mother as well.
You've done that, Sam?
I haven't done it, but you do see it past your kid and want to be like, ooh.
Yeah, because even as kids, I remember seeing that and going, oh, they can just choose whoever they want.
I think the fairest way is if whoever's in charge of stopping the music has to face the wall.
It's just the fairest way to go out.
Yeah, that is fair.
But not at my birthday.
My kids winning every lollipop in the pride in the middle.
Make the kids cook their own party food.
So they're going to learn how to cook, I think.
Five years of them.
I think you need to grow up a little bit.
So I think they can cook the Cheerios.
They can do the soft rolls in the oven.
They can do it.
It's pretty easy stuff.
I mean, they could help for sure,
but probably dealing with boiling water is quite dangerous
and the elements and stoves and stuff.
Yeah, there'll be no periods.
It'll just be me and my partner.
But I don't know.
She can go shopping and I'm going to get a game for a bit in the bedroom.
No, I'm going to say no on that one.
No?
I put that as a maybe because I think it's good for them to learn stuff like that from a young age.
Make them bring one person from a kid and one for me.
that's good
I don't hate that one
I do like getting gifts
Come on
It's the least they can do
I'm hosting a birthday party
What kind of gift
Not to the value of like
The kids present
But like something small
For me
Yeah
Oh like Apple Watch
That's pretty small
It's a lot to ask
I don't even had one though
It's a lot to ask for you
If you're just putting on like a game of past
A console
Gaming controller
No I get it
Because it's like
It's celebration of your parenting as well
But also a five year on's birthday
It's there
day.
Okay, if they bring me one cigarette each, I'll be happy.
When the kids are tired, pop balloons behind them.
Because you know they get really tired at parties.
They're dozing off, just go, bam, right behind them, and they'll wake up.
I think they'll get upset.
But the thing is, David, it's good because the parents aren't at least you can do whatever
you want.
Yeah, but then you have a bunch of crying children on your hand.
Oh, God, that would be annoying.
Yeah, true.
Maybe no, then.
Put tripping wire down the driveway, so every kid that arrives carcks it for a laugh.
What's wrong with you?
I think you just think
I don't know I'm not a parent
I don't know this works
Who hurt you man
Nobody
Okay
Trip children
Yeah okay well let's get that one
Play bull rush
And I'm in the middle
How do you play bulrush
You stand in them and go
Bullrush
And then they run
And then they run and you tackle any person
And runs past
Oh no no
No no
Well I'm not in remonstra
I won't tackle my kid
He needs to win
But he's gonna be
G-roll in these other five-year-olds
Yeah
No
I'm gonna say yes to that
Why?
Why do you want to hurt children
I'm not trying to hurt them
Gosh, okay, two more.
If one kid treats my kid badly,
make them sit on the side of the road
until their parents can pick them up.
Now that's fair,
because I don't want them bullying my child.
I would say there's other ways to maybe discipline a little bit
rather than kicking them out of the house
and making them go on, they're five.
I could tell them to shut up.
No, no.
You know, a lot of emotions at that age.
True.
You can't really regulate it properly like an adult can.
Alex is sex in its character building.
No, no, no.
Thank you, Alex.
I think it's just explaining the situation.
sitting them down, maybe separating the two of them.
Yes, explain to that this is why you're sitting out here, mate.
Parents will be here at five.
You can wait.
It's one p.m.
No, final one.
Now, Steph, you're going to agree with this one finally, I think.
There'll be a bouncy castle.
Love.
Love a bouncy castle.
Pop the bouncy castle so the kids can get some fire and emergency training.
Now, that is important.
It's not a burning building, sort of earthquake, just a bouncy castle.
It's a harmless.
but they need to learn how to get out of a situation
very fast and safely.
I think they can get really dangerous,
so I wouldn't go doing that.
No, I wouldn't do that.
I think it's also, I mean, you're dangerous
for a bunch of five-year-olds
in a deflating bouncy castle.
But also, um, expensive.
It is expensive.
It's not cheap.
Yeah.
Say no.
Maybe no, they're just for the expensive part,
but I think the training's very good.
Maybe it was burn the shed up.
They're five.
Okay.
So no.
I'm at a gardening shed.
That's real cheap.
Oh, God.
Honestly, you need help.
Okay, I'm looking forward to my kids.
Okay, I'm next on the show.
I'm glad you're already having to.
Steph is going to help us all the head of the weekend.
If you're going out to a cafe,
you have a guaranteed hack to make us all be the favourite at our local cafe, right?
Four easy steps on how your local cafe are going to favour you over all the other suckers.
Does it involve putting a trip wire down for some five-year-olds?
No. No.
I'm going to. You're going to make me wee ones up.
Your Arvose Hit Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge
You guys go to a local cafe
Do you on your weekends?
Yeah, shout out
Brown Street in Navendale
Yeah, yeah, shout out
whatever cafe I end up going to
There's a lot around where I love
Oh so you don't go to one
Like the same spot every single time
No, but God, that's my dream
To have a cafe that's, I'm also like
Don't buy coffees in the midweek
But my dream is to have a cafe that I walk in
They go, just the usual?
Yeah, I do that now
You've got that.
It's real nice.
I bet it feels so good.
It's real cool.
I don't want to be out here
being like, well, it's all about me.
But I am the favourite
at our local cafe.
Literally, we go every day.
They're not even like, oh, you're all to
coming right up. They're like
asking questions about our lives and
our dog Larry's there every time.
And Larry almost goes almost into the kitchen.
He's that much of a beloved member.
Pisses himself. He's so excited.
No, I don't even have that. And it keeps it very hygienic.
But no, absolutely, we are the
favorites at our local cafe.
And that is a step further when they go,
how so and so?
No, literally.
Like, follow everybody on Instagram,
like just really, really thick as thieves.
And when our favourite barista leaves,
like two of our favourite baristas there have since left,
and it's honestly devastating
because it's like a friend you see every single day
it's not in your life anymore.
It's really sad.
Well, if you want to be like me and Harrison
and have a rapport going on with your local cafe
and become the favourites,
and not like Sean,
who,
I mean, you don't really have that.
Have you a new cafe yet?
True.
I'm in the searching process.
True.
Okay.
Well, once you've found a local cafe,
if you want to become the favour,
I've got four easy steps.
The first step,
and this is according to experts
in the area
online.
Experts in the area online.
Seems very vague.
This is according to the Huffington Post.
Okay.
Dine regularly.
at quieter times.
So that's the first step.
Now, the reason this is the first step
is because when a cafe's real busy,
like it's Saturday morning, it's 9 a.m.,
don't go then, because everyone's going then.
And they want to be, have any time
to create a connection with your barista
because they're too busy working.
So go more often, but at quieter times.
So leave your workplace at like 11.30.
You'd be like, sorry, guys, I can't make that meeting.
I've got to go to my cafe because it's a quiet time
and I'll get FaceTime with the barista.
Exactly. Or first thing, maybe.
Doors open 7 a.m.
you're there.
You know, just to really,
I mean, don't come across too strong,
but you're there, you're ready to have some chat.
Just waiting outside, eh?
Just waiting outside, can't we.
I would argue, though, I think any time is okay.
They should record, if you go every day, anytime,
they'll recognise you.
They'll recognise you, but you won't be able to have that connection,
that chat, you know, and they'll be good with that.
The second step in order to be your local cafe's favourite customer
is learn names.
Learn them, learn all them.
How long are you, that you're at now, they love you,
How long did it take you to tell each other your names?
It takes after the first, I'm going to say, like, three really quality interactions.
Thank you.
I think the same.
Yeah.
It'll be a while to get the names out.
Yeah.
But aren't you just going?
Yes, that's the thing.
It's like a great interaction and you leave and you're like, oh, that was a great interaction.
You have another great interaction with your barista and you go away and you're like, oh my God,
I have to know their name because we get along so well.
And that third interaction, it's like, what is your name, by the way?
Yeah.
Here's my tip for that to get it early when they go,
what's your name for the coffee?
I go, you first?
Oh, Sean.
Not too shabby.
No, so it's good.
Quite like that.
The third step in how to become your local cafe's favorite customer
is be flexible and forgiving.
You know, they screw up your coffee order.
Don't worry about it, Sean.
Oh, next time.
I'm happy with an Americano with soy milk.
That would be my backup choice.
But you should stand up for yourself as a consumer.
No, no, no, no.
Not if you want to become a favourite.
No, everything is fine.
People pleasing is the key.
Everything is right for them.
And the fourth thing is do something nice
for them. You know, if it's
your local cafe, you go there all the time. Maybe
bake some muffins. I'm out. I'm out.
Let's swap today. I'll buy you a coffee.
Let's swap today. Just jump behind the machine.
Yeah. That's good.
Isn't that lovely? So Sean, this is why
Harrison and I? Yeah. Too much work.
It's not a lot, really. Not really. Pretty natural.
It's being nice. You're offered to do their
job for them and break them cookies. It seems
like a lot of work.
Someone just sex and saying, do you just linger right by the coffee machine to make small talk?
How do you get so close?
Um, yeah, you do. You just stand.
You just linger.
Sometimes they deal with someone else and then they go to make coffers and you talk again with them behind the machine.
While they're trying to work.
Yeah, and you just put your arm up and when you go, by the way, by the way, I've just got something else to say.
Sorry, just serve with them and then come back to me.
Shotgun, shotgun talking to you.
Maybe we're a little bit needy, Steph.
It's like the baby reindeer chick.
Oh, it is giving me that actually.
Yeah, that's good that.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Steph Harrison, I've got a real bad habit of letting kind of viral moments just encourage me to listen to the artist, if that makes sense.
Like when Justin Timberlake went through that whole trial thing with Brittany last year,
I just started listening to Future Sex Love sounds so much.
Wait, what trial with Brittany?
Oh, no, it wasn't a trial, but, like, you know, they were saying they were back and forth with each other and he was getting like cancel.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, he wrote a book.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.
And there were some chapters about her and people weren't liking it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And see, I can't remember that, but I can remember I listened to a lot of Justin Timberlake over that time.
Because the name just comes up and you're like, oh, bang it.
And this happened recently for Coldplay and me.
Oh, okay.
Yep.
So obviously the affair that happened on the Kiss Cam and I was just like,
listened to, started listening to Coldplay.
And then recently it's become my workout music.
And I've been talking to you guys a bit about this.
I was like, does anyone else listen to music that doesn't line up with the workout you're doing
when you're working out.
Like I think traditionally people want to work out
to heavy music or dance music.
I think Coldplay, honestly,
and like vanilla pop rock
is the best genre to work out to it.
I've been working out to Colplay all week.
I've been working out to Imagine Dragons.
I've been working out to a bit of One Republic.
What?
It's so random.
Yeah.
I would say so many other kind of genres out there
would kind of match exercising a lot better.
Why?
There's just something about it.
There's something about the...
It's a bit relaxed, though.
That's it.
You're working out.
Nah.
I'd get bored.
I'd get so bored.
I'm literally yawn.
I'm literally yawning.
Especially cold like, ooh.
It will go.
Oh, wait you're home.
Imagine a waste of that.
God, you'd be like, sleep on the treadmill.
Well, this is it.
So today at my gym, at the Les Mills in Auckland City,
I decided to approach people at my gym,
because I was saying this,
you guys were kind of ragging on me saying no one's listening to Coldplay.
I was like, I'll prove they are.
So I stopped a bunch of gym goers and asked them this.
Hey, sorry to interrupt you.
What song are you listening to are working out right now?
Miracle by sub-focus.
So that first guy was listening to a drum and bass.
This is the second person I found.
Hey, sorry to interrupt you.
What song are you listening to are working out right now?
Tiago Silver.
A.J. Tracy.
Yeah, that's right.
Shoot.
A lot upbeat music.
Yeah, you're a bit more 30 with her, wouldn't you?
You know, actually, I know how I interrupted her workout.
She was like, are you the guy from the edge with Crohn's disease?
And I said, no, that's Cal from the night show.
And she goes, oh, I've got Crohn's disease.
I made a bit of a chat about Crohn's.
Anyway.
Well, you're using Cal's Crohn's disease to flirt with us all under the gym.
Low Blow.
Victory lap by Freddy Gain and Skepta.
They're all quite...
She sounded like she was a gunpoint.
No, I found one guy.
Hey, bro, sorry to interrupt my workout, man.
What song are you listening to him?
Uh, uh, Justin Bieber baby?
No, he wasn't.
He was.
Thank you.
Do you want to hear the other 15?
No, I can't believe you did this.
I'm like kind of proud of you in a weird way.
Like I would never ever dream of interrupting anyone else's workout just to kind of ask them what song they're listening to.
Take the special human being to interrupt someone on the treadmill for me.
I just, that's pretty crazy though, that you've just recently engaged a couple weeks ago.
And as soon as you get back, you sign up to Les Mill, the gym full of hot people.
And you were going around talking to them.
I don't think it's time to, your honeymoon for engagement, you shouldn't be flirting another woman, Sean.
It was a 50-50 of men and women.
I don't know.
I did think afterwards, I thought it would be easy because I've done these street-style interviews before with people when they're walking on the street.
But it does involve really stopping something.
So you hear me apologising.
Like, someone would be in the middle of a set.
And I'd be like, sorry, mate, what are you listening to it?
He's like, what?
You were that guy.
Sorry, mate, can you stop?
Stop working out, please.
What are you listening to?
Sure.
One of them said there's this new song called F off.
The Pizzle-Oh, yeah, yeah.
You want, I have to look that one up.
Look that one up.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Guys, speaking of affairs, I was a bit of a late bloomer.
Sorry, I just want to know the tenuous link to affairs that that has.
I'm interested.
I don't know.
That's to do with sex and love, doesn't it?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, like puberty and stuff.
Puberty, I guess.
So I would delay it Blumen.
What do you mean by that?
No, Harrison, you wouldn't leave Blumen?
That shocked us.
Oh, no.
No, Harrison.
No, how are we supposed to know?
Well, I don't know, fella.
You'd probably go to hammer and tongs from a very young age, my boy.
Oh, you mean?
You grew up very quickly.
I will never, ever say that to you.
I literally thought you meant growing pubes.
Oh, that's what I thought.
I don't know what you're referring to.
I don't know what you're referring to.
Did you mean sex?
No.
No.
Are you talking about them?
I just did like, I did things late in life.
Did you ever do a thing in life that was very late.
Like, learn to ride a bike at like 15.
I've got a friend who learned to ride a bike at 16.
Is this your way of saying you're still a virgin?
No, don't talk about it right now.
Because that's fine if you are.
It's actually quite something to celebrate nowadays.
I actually would respect that.
Well, I'm going to say something that I want you to respect.
And you can be embarrassed about it for 10 seconds and that's it.
Okay.
Okay.
Yep.
You can shame me out for 10 seconds and that's it.
Okay.
Because I've had this thing and I've been telling people about it at my other job recently
and they're just like, what?
What are you talking about?
That's so embarrassing.
It's so icky.
You're icking me out.
Oh, okay.
Embarrassing.
Yep.
Right?
Okay.
So I was a late bloomer for tie my shoelaces.
Any guesses at what age I wanted to tie my shoelace?
Just quit.
Don't have children.
Steph's kid, Rocco, 14 months.
Producer Nurse Sam, you've got older kids.
What age did they learn to tie their shoes?
shoes. What's like normal?
Sorry, say that again? What age did your children learn
to tie their shoes? Five.
Okay, all right, so that's normal, but it's about five.
They're miracle children, clearly.
What's a late bloomer? Like eight?
A late bloomer? No, it's got to,
he's got to have been an adult, surely.
What about, adult? You'll learn to tie your shoes as an adult is crazy.
Okay, well, what age do, like, the kids start getting cool sneakers?
Twelve would be embarrassing. I reckon like 15.
I reckon you're 15, 16, walking around.
Twelve, we've got an intermediate. I reckon it, I reckon, but he said it wasn't going to be
embarrassing.
So I reckon a 16-year-old
getting his mum to
tie his laces before school
would be embarrassing.
I had my foot up
on my dad's knee
every morning
for him to tie my shoe laces
until I was 14.
I was close.
Very close.
Close.
At any point did your dad not go
learn how to tie your own shoes?
He loved me.
No, the bunny goes in the burrow
and around the road.
So I didn't learn there.
I don't know what that thing is.
I don't know to 14, I learn my own way.
So you put your finger on, you're tied up,
and you take your finger out, and it's a knot.
Yeah, so why don't you learn that earlier?
I mean, it's a big deal.
I used to have those shoelaces that are like pigs tails, you know?
Elastic pig tails.
I have velcro, and I slip on vans.
And sometimes at school I'd have my shoes tied up,
but I'd just like, you know, slip in and out of them.
True.
I broke the backs on every shoe that I have because I'd never untie them.
But 14, it's slightly embarrassing.
That's probably my deepest secret I have.
So what happens?
If your shoes come in tired
in the middle of the day
do you have to ask your friend
to tie it up for you?
At 14, I'd just walk around
like, your shoelace are in time
and you go, no.
Can't do anything about it.
Would you have any advice
to 14 year olds out there listening
who are like, oh my God,
I don't know how to do that
and I'm his age?
Learn, learn, learn as soon as you can.
Know what ever lie,
my five-year-old cousin at the time
taught me how to do it
because she'd just learned.
Don't embarrass yourself.
Tie your shoelace, grow up.
Your avos head harder
with Sean.
Steph and Harrison.
This morning, the fright of my life happened in a New World car park.
I dropped off my baby at daycare, and I like to prep before a weekend and get all the snacks.
Get all the snacks for the household on a Friday morning, so that's what I did.
So I'm sorry, most people are shopping on a Sunday for work, work lunches.
Steph's prepping Friday for the snacks for the weekends.
For the weekends.
Snacks.
Like your baby snacks for Rocco?
Yeah.
Yeah, baby snacks.
Your mandarin's, your nannies, your musli.
baby musley bars.
Potato sticks.
Your potato sticks,
all of that.
Classic thing for try.
Today, actually, I went and bought some dried harvest peas.
There we go.
They love to suckle on them.
Thought he might like that.
Yeah.
As a parent,
do you have to stop yourself eating all the baby snacks.
Yes.
Because I do look at a lot of those things and go, yum.
They are yum.
No, trust me.
No, they are really good.
But I was just parked up at New World.
Just like, I don't know, just needed a minute before I went and did my shopping.
And I was just sitting there.
And then I think I was just like scrolling on my phone.
something. And then a kid hops in my car.
The door opens in the back. And a kid literally hops up and then a woman is behind him and she's talking to him being like, come on, come on.
And I'm like, no.
And you're a car.
Oh.
That's not good.
And he gave me such a jump.
And then like he's just like, and then he sees me and he gets a fright.
And then the lady's still kind of like out on the concrete.
She gets a fright.
And she's like, oh.
I'm so sorry I thought this was our car.
And the kid must have been like six or seven.
He was like, I told you, mum, it wasn't our car.
He was inside my vehicle.
It was really weird.
But it was funny.
And then, like, me and the mum kind of had some chat.
We were like, oh, my God, so crack up, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm like, oh, my God, proud of my life.
Have you guys ever done that before?
I didn't go to an Uber once.
I had an Uber coming and I only look at the first three digits.
And I kid you not, there was a Prius that had the exact same first three digits.
And I got in the back of the car.
And the lady was like, what are you doing?
I was like, is this not PJD?
It is, but this is my other number.
I looked at it.
I was like, I have the wrong vehicle.
But one of the chances of two Priuses
with the same three letters on the same street.
I did that in a petrol station as a kid.
Like back, oh, maybe like eight or nine.
Yeah.
And jumped in the car.
This was in Hawks Bay.
And fell asleep, didn't know it was a different person's car.
Woke up in Gore.
It was the longest ride.
It was a police search.
It was pretty insane.
Well, they took you over the...
Cook straight.
It's like, we won't wake him up.
Who is he?
Don't know, don't wake him.
Gore.
I was like, oh, that's not mum, that's not dad.
Your Avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
It's time for the top three.
You guys may have heard today big news story in Al-Tero.
The government has confirmed that our passports will display the English text above the Tera.
Moldi text.
So in the past it's been Maldi first, then English second,
but it's confusing people in other countries.
So they swap them around.
And I have the top three features that our new passport port
should feature.
Now at the start of the top three,
I do an intro,
and Stefan Harrison,
you've asked if you can have a crack today.
It's that time of the day.
The time to get your news.
Brought to you by...
When you put five teaspoons of Milo
into a thing of milk to make a Milo
and you're like,
oh, that looks like not enough
so you then just like keep putting in
teaspoons of Milo.
Classic.
And presented by...
You do a massacre of a dumb
and you finish it off with the ghost wipe.
It's the edge top three.
I think we nailed the brief.
Great John, guys.
Absolutely nailed it.
One.
Top three feet.
features our new passport should have.
Number one, a paint-by-numbers feature for the inside pages.
Those boring long-haul flights will turn into a very entertaining sip and paint.
Sorry, I was just straight.
I missed all this.
You're too focused on killing the intro.
I was replaying.
We just mailed that intro.
I was so proud of us in our head.
It was so quick.
And Sean Alvarez goes, do not just do it.
Sorry, Sean missed all that one.
Can he please say to you?
No, it's okay.
I was just saying, the first thing I was.
passport should have, you know how all the pages are colourful?
Yeah.
Waterflake, some of the pages.
You go through the passport?
There's different colours.
If one of them was like a paint by numbers.
Okay.
Okay.
It doesn't matter.
We nailed it though.
Did you hear us?
Yeah, it was really good.
Two.
The second thing our passport should feature is a dual language pages.
You know, obviously we've got Tereo, Māori and English is our national language.
We should have a third one of Kiwi slang, just so if you're in another country and you throw out a couple
cheers or she'll be right, they'll kind of, they've got a translation page so that the person
at the chicken kind of knows what's going on. A sweet ass. Yeah. Why are you saying you've got a sweet
ass? No, no, it's never mind. Exactly.
Three. And the third thing that our new passport should have is a caveat on the front of it
that says New Zealand, Al-Tiroa, bracket's not part of Australia, it's its own country.
Because God, if I have another American ask me where an Australian New Zealand is, I will
literally, I don't know what I'll do. I won't do anything. But I will be upset.
I'm with you.
That is.
It's The Edge Top 3.
Did you guys hear a word?
I said,
you just both stocked on that intro still.
No, I'm just,
I'm already thinking we need to do every intro every day.
We should do that.
Your Avos head harder with Sean,
Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, hope you enjoyed the podcast.
Today at work was Pajama Friday,
where everyone had to wear pajamas.
And I am happy to say that all of us wore pajamas today.
I did think that there'd be,
I don't know who,
but I thought out of four of us,
at least someone wouldn't wear pajamas.
And you know what I was.
I even did to go an extra mile,
I went to a meeting before this
and I wore proper clothes
and brought my pyjamas in the car
and got changed in the car to my pajamas.
So I didn't need to wear pajamas,
I have to do for the show.
You know what? I also did the same
because I rode my motorbike here to work
and then I changed to my pyjamas at work.
Wow. I just came in my PJs.
My robes in the car, got a bit hot,
so der robed, left that in the end.
Well, your poo jays, because they're the...
Sorry?
Your poo jays. Why are you calling them my poojays?
It was just a brown set of
PJs.
So, chocolate brown
and bakes.
Chocolate brown is pure.
It looks very chic.
Actually, someone said to me today,
Steph's not in her pyjamas.
And I was like, what?
And then I saw you, and you're wearing
such chic brown collared pajamas
that someone genuinely thought it was like
an outfit.
They're breastfeeding pajamas.
Because these buttons here are fake buttons.
You just go, I won't do it.
Whoa.
I said I won't do it, but I kind of did it.
Sorry.
What do you mean?
They're fake buttons.
So they like a real.
They're just like domes.
Domes.
Fyletes.
Fake buttons.
Eye lit.
So for easy access, so the infant can...
Oh.
Yeah.
And what shoes are you wearing?
Normal shoes?
No, they're like my slipper crocs.
Fluffy crocs.
Oh, fluffy crocs.
So I've literally never been more comfortable at work every my life.
So you know, I've gone for the Wiggles Pajama pants that I got...
Yeah.
Lund the weekend, actually.
They're crazy.
Yeah, they're cool.
But they're a private pyjama.
You don't feel super proud we're wearing these.
And, of course, the fucking weekend after I own my first pair of pajamas.
I don't do a pajama day.
Oh my God, I've only got the Wiggles Jammies.
I love that you called them a private
pyjamas.
Well, it is the Wiggles.
All pajamas are really private.
Isn't it a little bit weird for a 25-year-old male
I would be walking around on the Wiggles?
Yes.
But I saw Dan from the Big Shore were Bluey Jammies.
Oh, why are you guys...
Well, he's got a kid.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, it's still weird.
It's weird, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah, I just like the Wiggles growing up.
I love the way.
And these are all the old Wiggles on there?
Who is your favourite?
Anthony.
Really?
Well, he's still in it?
He is still in it?
Yeah, he's definitely.
Who's your second favorite?
It's got to be Jeff.
That's probably Greg.
I really liked Greg.
Greg seemed good vibes.
Captain Fethersaw was like one of my favorite characters.
Oh, he's still in it too.
He's still in it too.
But you love the Wiggles.
Him and Anthony did like a, like a, I think some cover band was playing in a pub.
Yeah, and they were both up on stage.
Greg, the yellow one.
Yeah, he's one that almost died.
Yeah.
How do you almost die?
Have you not seen this?
Have you seen the good documentary?
Yes.
Recently.
Watch it the other weekend.
Sobbed.
Oh my gosh.
That is the most saddest documentary.
It's such a doco.
It's really good.
He almost died because during the bushfires,
2020, they were doing a concert in January,
somewhere in Australia to try and raise money to help the bushfires.
And they had him performed in ages because it's all the originals.
And so Greg, Yellow Wiggle,
as soon as the last song happened,
he went off stage and he has had lots of health issues before
where he's faintered a lot and things like that.
And people just thought it was that.
But actually, he was having a heart attack and he kind of died on the spot.
Oh, my God.
He had to get resuscitated.
back to life.
He was getting CPR,
but then also there was one of those machines
at the venue,
a defibrillator,
which is like an electronic
shocking thing that
restarts the heart.
I think used it twice on him.
There was a nurse in the crowd that also helped.
And yeah, there's like footage of it's all on YouTube.
It's in the documentary.
It's like pretty for long.
Anthony runs out.
He's like, sorry guys, we're going to stop there.
Greg's not doing so well.
Like, they're all fucking terrified.
Yeah, like he's dying.
It's real sad.
So crazy, yeah.
And it happened again.
Somewhere else, off, not on camera, but it happened again to her.
He's like, yeah, I really need to stop.
Wow.
But, you know, Fraser Grout, you know, the 10,000 Dreams Kid.
He made that documentary.
No, he did.
That's him.
He made it.
He directed it, produced it, it's all him.
Really?
Yes.
Pretty cool, eh?
That's incredible.
I had no idea.
So that's when he was like saying, he did my dream when he was like, I love to be in the work.
I was like, I know the words, I'll text them for you.
And so he texted Anthony.
See, I'm with Harrison Keith, like, he's like, loves your work
and inspired him to be here today.
And I can't remember Anthony said back, so much.
I'm sure like, oh, yeah, fuck, I'm a great kid, I think, blah, blah, blah.
I was like, well, Anthony said something to me, kind of.
Kind of.
Is your dream, really, to be in the Wiggles?
It was.
Is it still?
Nah, not anymore.
Fuck no.
But they inspired me.
Like, Anthony was like my biggest inspiration.
I love Anthony.
Very cool.
That is so amazing.
But watch the documentary show on pride.
It's a very good documentary.
Did you watch The Lugals growing up?
Yeah.
Yeah, if you did, you'll.
You'll love it. It's very sad.
The only bit that I was like, I wanted more,
was when they kind of brushed over
because there was a guy called Sam who joined the Wiggles after Greg left.
I didn't know this shit.
Yeah, so this guy, Sam, was there for like four years or something.
And then they were kind of like, by Sam, Greg's coming back,
and it was like super awkward.
And so Sam was interviewed.
And then he, because after watching the documentary,
I was like on YouTube and stuff,
and he was unhappy with how they told the story in the documentary
because it's not quite how he remembered things.
So it's very definitely still two sides to the story.
Like, where's the truth kind of lies?
I didn't know that drama.
I remember as a kid when Sam came and I stopped watching.
I was who the fuck is that?
Yeah, yeah.
But he said like, yeah, oh, it's found every watch it.
And then in the documentary, there's this clip of them all being interviewed
live on some breakfast television over in Australia.
This is after Greg's come back into the wiggles.
And the interview was like, well, is Sam all good?
Like, what's happening to Sam?
And then he's like, what do you mean what's having to Sam?
And he just plays it off so like, he needed to really front foot it and be like, well, Sam, you know, we decided to part ways.
And it was just like, what about Sam?
And he's like, well, Sam was a wiggle.
No, he's not.
What do you mean?
And he's like, oh, well, Sam, you know, came to the end of his contract.
And we thought it was just right, the right thing to do was to bring Greg back.
And did he go on to the rights of it?
Because didn't Anthony buy the wiggles?
like at the start of it, he like bought the IP for it,
and that's why he like is in charge of it now or something.
Like I think very early on he...
I think they all have the rights to it.
It wasn't all, it was all four of them.
Yeah, it's them though, eh?
But it's not like a TV network who owns it.
It's like they own the girls.
They own it.
And Sam was always an employee.
Yeah, that's it.
So now, I think because Anthony's the only...
Maybe I just say Anthony because he's the only one who's still there.
He treats it like he's the boss and he recycles them out.
There might be truth to that because there were rumors that Greg did own some of it,
or like his fourth of it and then sold it to the...
remaining Wiggles when he left and then ran out of money
or something and that's why he had to come back.
I don't know how true that is though.
But yeah.
I just think it was Fraser Groot.
That's so cool.
It's owned by a combination of the original Wiggles.
Yeah, Anthony has the largest stake.
I think he must have bought it from the other guy.
But yeah, he owns, like, Anthony owns most of it, but all the
original ones share it.
He needs to just let the new ones take over now, I think.
Everyone's own a bit of it.
Wow.
He bought it.
They own 10%.
Locky and Emma Wiggle were married.
Yeah.
Got a divorce during the time of the Wiggles.
Yeah.
Huge.
I opened for them in the DJ set for the Legals in Auckland when they'd just got divorced
and they were both there.
I was trying to read the tension of it.
They were very chill.
No, but they were like amicable.
They talk about everything in the documentary.
Sam married Dorothy.
Really?
Who's Dorothy?
The dinosaur.
I know, but what is the fuck?
I don't know.
What is that person?
Who's the person?
I don't know.
Some girl.
And there was another one.
Feather sword married wax or something like that.
I don't know.
There's another one.
I love all this shit.
Yeah, it was good.
Pirate and the dog.
Did anyone marry the big red car?
No.
I was like the door with the eyes.
Oh my gosh.
And remember after tour?
Remember when Anthony, when he was touring and he got real sick?
Like, touring is so excited.
He got real depressed.
Yeah.
From touring in New York and missing his kid and he never got to see his daughter until she was like 18.
Yeah.
Fuck.
It was like a real dark side to the week.
It was like never yet, sister.
Like making all these other kids so happy but never sang your own?
No.
Why don't have gone to drinking or something?
I can't remember.
Fuck, man.
Yeah.
I'd love to get on the purse of those guys.
They were so good when I hung up with them backstage at Spark Arena.
Like, they were actually, there was Aussie, like, legends.
Yeah, they're great guys.
Anyway, hey, I hope you enjoyed the podcast.
Have a great weekend.
