Harrison said this is the greatest marketing idea he's ever had, and he's shocked that no other radio show has done it. Genevue, I've done my research.
Starting point is 00:01:28 No one has. You guys have never, and it's genuine. genuinely going to change the game. I'm honest about that. Oh, I'm looking forward to this.

Starting point is 00:01:50 Yeah, I'm excited for that. I felt an appropriate saying that was going to be my favourite bit, but I am definitely most excited for what inside is desperate. Yes, so if I've been truthful to myself, that is also what I'm most excited. When are we doing that again? Uh, half a half a five. Oh, could be back quicker? Jeez,

Starting point is 00:05:20 Going to the Judge Harrison, how many did you get? You answered five, Jewel, but I'd probably give you four. Not bad effort, but you did a cartoon character who said Harry Potter. I don't think he's a cartoon character. Yeah, I don't think he's a cartoon character. No, and you skipped a famous Hollywood surname. You could have said Hasselhoff, Hemsworth, Hathaway, Hanks or Hopkins. But that, honestly, Joel, sorry about that.

Starting point is 00:06:12 The Edge. Now we've been a show together since the start of the year. Just coming up half a year now, I think Harrison, brand new to radio as of the start of this year. Yeah. So you guys have been there for a while, I'd say. Yeah. A few years.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Oh, yeah. Part of the furniture, mate. Exactly. And I just feel like I'm always trying to bring new things to the show. You know, trying to bring something different to each other. It's the brand new shows. It's the different around. What makes us different from other shows?
Starting point is 00:06:38 So I did a bit of research because I had this one idea. this amazing idea in my head and then I was like, I wonder if they've ever done that. I've looked back for the last 30 years of edge slash all radio stations content in Altaero. No one's done this.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Oh. Ever. Okay, well this is good research because we do want to do things differently on this show. Yep. We know there's plenty of other stations that people could be listening to so we really want to make our mark.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Yes. And I had a little meeting but three-hour meeting today with the three big bosses of the company. What? They're a three-hour-long meeting. Yep. And they have put forward
Starting point is 00:07:17 thousands of dollars for us to do this idea that you guys are keen. Really? Yep. They said, we'll pay for it. That is one of the best ideas ever heard in radio.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Well, they must believe in it if they're giving you cash because this place is pretty hard to find money. We give it all the way. What's the idea? Oh, you've got to tell us. How do you say that in English?
Starting point is 00:07:35 Oh, yeah. They've got my back. What are you in English? What other language? What do you think of? The idea, guys, is... Oh, here we go. What is it?
Starting point is 00:07:45 Our show, The Edge Arvos, is going to have a mascot. Oh. Wait, like a sports mascot. Yes. Oh, so like a character. Like a character. Like a character. Like, oh, when I was a kid going to birthday parties and stuff,
Starting point is 00:08:06 I'd go to a place called Lollipop's Playland, and they had a mascot, like a big tiger. Yeah. So something like that. Like The Warriors mascot, you know? Like Splash Planet and Hastings. They've got a dinosaur, it's named Squirt. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I think, like, I love the passion. Yeah. Do you think maybe one of the reasons no one's, like, no radio shows done the mascot is because it's an audio medium? No, no. Well, guys, we go out and about and do stuff all the time. We do. We are very out and about us, three. She said, Hucka Gingaday, we were in Christchurch about a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Do you not a lie? You know, like, dumb we look without a mascot? We look pretty dumb Do you reckon? And I just saw the AFC, the football club recently they had no mascot for the new team
Starting point is 00:08:44 So they went out and said, Public, what are you guys thinking about a mascot? What's your ideas? Send it through to us and we'll make that idea. Yeah. So I thought we should do that. Reach out to our listeners and they can pitch their ideas to us
Starting point is 00:08:56 and they can choose what mascot our show has and wherever we go, that mascot comes with us. Oh my God, I kind of love this idea. I genuinely think I do. So we've got this marketing budget that we could spend on anything for the show and you're going dump it all into a very, very high-level mascot costume. Yes, it's a bit of an old-school take, but I think it's such an old-school idea.
Starting point is 00:09:17 It's come full circle. It is come full circle. No one's do it. Name one of the radio station in New Zealand does this. It's so retro that it's new again. No, I can't name any. I can't name any. No, I can't name any.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Maybe for good reasons? No. This is a good reason. No, but you're right. Random brands have mascots. I got TVNZ Plus as a mascot. Plusy. There's also Chemist Warehouse as a mascot.
Starting point is 00:09:36 That's just like a chemist warehouse. Everyone has a mascot. They do all have a mascot. The mascot runs, you know, the rugby games and stuff. We can do so many things with a mascot. You keep referencing sports team. It's just important to me that you know that we're not a sports franchise. And that's why it's a good idea, Sean.
Starting point is 00:09:50 No one's done it in radio. Okay, okay. Well, let's put it out to the people because really it's, you listening at this is, if you want to see us have a mascot, it should be their decision. Yeah. But we want any idea, anything you want. I'm open. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:10:05 So you're not like sold on a particular mass. You just think having one is important. We just need one. Okay, 0800 of the edge is our number. Please, please call through or text to 33443. Quick poll, let's just gauge it. Yeah. the EJAvo hot dog.
Starting point is 00:10:38 It could be the ejavo, um, litter. What? I like that you put some thought into those. There's some ideas. Litter. Like rubbish. Yeah, like, be respectful and pick up your litter. That's a good message to send the kids. Okay. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:10:55 The Edge. And Harrison didn't have any help when he came up with what he said, I think, to quote him, the greatest marketing idea that a radio station's ever had. Thank you. I'm glad you've soaked that line in action. That's exactly what I said, guys. I bring in a mascot. I think we need a mascot for the Air Jarvo show. No one's ever done it.
Starting point is 00:11:13 No one's going to do it. Let's be the show that has a mascot wherever we go. I've been thinking about this a lot over the last couple of songs, and I am so 1,000% on board. I feel like you're so right, Harrison. It'll be so cute. It'd be so fun. We can take the mascot out and about, meet the people, meet the kids.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah. Sean's the only one on the show who's a little bit reluctant right now. You know what? I love your passion. And I do like the idea. It's just what you're suggesting is spending basically all of our budget on the show on a high quality costume. No. I can't quite get my head around. No, it's only $8,000 to $10,000 for a costume.
Starting point is 00:11:51 That's not our show budget. It's a little bit of our budget plus quite a lot more. It is more than our budget. Yeah, yeah. It's easy. We'll figure that stuff out later. But for now, we want to know an 0800 the edge. Should we even do it?
Starting point is 00:12:02 because we're not going to do it if the people don't want to do it, right? So let's go to Wanika first to you, Josh. What do you make of the mascot idea? Okay. Yeah, if you do, I reckon it should be a radio. Oh, so you think we should do it, but it should be a radio as the mascot.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah. Yeah. All right. Josh has a great idea, mate. But you're on board? Yeah. He doesn't sound convinced. He's a fairer on the fence, I don't.
Starting point is 00:12:32 reckon old Joshy. I don't love the idea of radio because it's just so ambiguous. It's just like we're on the radio. Yes. But, Steph, you've got a telly over there. I think mark it down as 100% from Josh, I'd say. No, I'm going to mark it down as a maybe because 100% did not sound convinced. Okay, thank you, Josh. Carter on 0800
Starting point is 00:12:49 the edge. Carter, yes, no to the mascot. Oh, I think yes, it should be a mascot. Yes. Thank you, Carter. Carter, what's your idea for the mascot? What would you want to see out there, mate? Oh, I would say a Kiwi with headphones and the edge on the side of the headphones. Carter, a great future marketing for you.
Starting point is 00:13:11 You're a genius, mate. Really smart, actually. What a good idea. Great idea. Thank you. Birds are quite a saturated market within mascots. Sean. It's a kid, mate.
Starting point is 00:13:20 All right, thank you, Carter. Marie from Auckland, what do you think? Should we have a radio show mascot? Absolutely 100% yes. Yes. Thank you, Marie. What's your idea? What would you like to see out there?
Starting point is 00:13:34 I've got a brilliant idea. I think it should be called the Edge Arvo Avalado. Jess. Quit your job. Marie, come and work for us. Get your job. Go to your boss and tell him to shove on his face. You've got a new job, Jess.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Oh, my God, you're a genius. I love it. Okay, it's a yes from Marie and a fantastic idea as well to back it up. Now, Sean, the people are on board. I'm on board. If everyone's on board with it, and Harrison, genuinely have got approval for the budget, then yeah, let's do it. I lean more towards the edge arbo avocado than I do towards like the radio.
Starting point is 00:14:07 But you're down? I'm down. Watch the space, everybody. That's good. I'm just going to have a bit with the bosses because I did make all of that up about what they said. And then we'll do it. It makes a lot more sense now that you say that. Your Arvos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:14:23 The Edge. Sean's five-star fact. I'm on a journey to bring you a fact that so darned, I'm good, so shareable, so original, that it gets five out of five stars from all three judges. I've not quite hit the nail on the head yet, but I've been close, eh? Close last few weeks. You've been close, you've been far, and you've been far more times than you've been close. Yeah, but I've also been close.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yeah, yeah. So, as your judges, myself Harrison and producer nurse Sam, we're looking for three things. An original fact, a shareable fact, and a well-performed fact. If we are blown away, Sean, we will each vote accordingly. But five stars is the goal. You've been close. You've been very far. But today's a new day.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I'm quite excited about today's fact. And I know I say this a lot, but today's fact is just a little bit different. It's one that really gets you thinking. And it's something that you might not have thought about before. Okay. Today's five star fact is, there was a short period of time when Picasso and Snoop Dogg We're both alive together
Starting point is 00:15:31 Drop it like it's hard Drop it like it's hard Drop it like it's hard Oh yeah I thought Um Piss Let him try
Starting point is 00:15:41 Let him try Don't correct them anyway I thought What's the name here is it The artist Pissaco Pistachio I thought Pissaco was
Starting point is 00:15:52 Um Older Jake Jake kid please It's not right Pusacko Sacco. Nah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:02 That guy, I thought he was way older. Yeah, 1800s. Then how was Snoop Dog alive? There was a two-year overlap. He lived until 91. He lived from 1890. Really? Yeah, he lived for like almost 100 years.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And Snoop Dog was born there. Snoop Dog was two when Picasso died. But isn't that just crazy? Picasso. Picasso. There was a period. Picasso. So, Picasso, who drew his own paintings and got famous 100 years after his death, was alive the same time as Snoved on.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Did you know that Picasso was a bad man? What do you do? Just saying. Oh, I just probably not the appropriate to talk about, yeah. Oh, that changed really. What did Picasso do? Yeah. Can I be honest? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Real tricky name. I think that annoys me about him a bit. Really? He's been nailing it. Yeah, no, he's real tricky. I don't know why you'd say that. All right. So the point of this is we have to rate this fact out of five, stars. Oh, he physically and emotionally abused
Starting point is 00:17:00 woman. Awesome. I didn't know that. Producer Nurse Sam, what do you rate this fact that Picasso and Snoop Dog were alive at the same time? Two. Okay. From my perspective, that feels a little harsh. What is the reason for giving
Starting point is 00:17:18 it less than half of the rating? I just don't think it doesn't... How do I use it? It's not going to improve my life. It's not really relevant to me. It doesn't... It doesn't help me. I don't know. It's kind of just a fun little gibbet,
Starting point is 00:17:32 and then I'll probably never repeat it again in my life. So not that shareable then. No. Well performed, though. I'll give you that. Yeah. The music's cool. Thanks, man.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Snook dog's pretty cool. Oh, yeah, I'd have to agree with producer, nurse, Sam. They're sure, not your best work. Not terrible, but not blow my mind. Can't wait to share this with everyone I know. So I'm going to go, it's a two and a half. Yeah. Two, man.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I don't like the backstory of him and, yeah. I don't like the names of riddles, I think. What was his name again? The artist? Snoop Dog. No, who was alive at the same time, the Snoop Dog? Pastario. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:18:15 The Edge. Over the weekend, I had the, well, it's a bit of a double-edged sword for me, honestly. I had to renew my passport, guys, which was the first time I've had to do that as an adult. That's when you're getting old, that you've had a passport yourself for 10 years, that you need to actually renew it.
Starting point is 00:18:29 So I had to do that. $300. I mean, I wouldn't go complaining about it because Harrison, have you seen Sean's now old passport photo? Yep, I have seen it. I don't even know how we can describe this. He's definitely had a glow-up.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Since how old were you in that old photo? 20. Shall I put it on the edge of those in Sestoria? Can I say, I wouldn't even call it a glow-up. I'd say you just shaved your face. Yeah. Your beard? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Come on, man. Out of confusion. It was bad. You had more hair on your face than your head. That's always an issue, I reckon. Do you know, the worst thing is, I grew that beard for, like, a couple months, and I took my passport photo, and then I shaved it and never grew it back. In my passport photo, I had, like, a three-inch beard.
Starting point is 00:19:11 I had a nose ring. I honestly have been getting randomly selected at airports for a decade because of that photo. Yeah, you look like you're in disguise. Yeah, it does. You look like you're impersonating Sean. It does. Is it because you're, like, an adolescent male, and it's like finally you can grow facial hair
Starting point is 00:19:29 and you get excited. You're like, look what I can do and then you just grow it all out. I think you've got to try it to see if it's your look. I got there, realize it wasn't my look, but unfortunately during that trial period, I did get my passport photo taken. So I'm getting a new one,
Starting point is 00:19:41 which is, you know, once again, $300. Seems quite steep for something I need to pay for. I'm sorry, you went with the moustache stubble look that you're rocking now? This one. Have you taken the photo? You've had this for five years. So you've gone with that look, have you? This look that I have every day.
Starting point is 00:19:57 That you're going to be stuck with for the next 10 years, have you? Yes. Just checking. Did you check that off with anybody? What, my look that I go with every day, it was good for a passport photo. Yes. No, I didn't feel like I needed to. Oh dear.
Starting point is 00:20:08 One thing I did do, though. Something's definitely, you just can't control. When will he learn, you know? When will he learn? When will he learn? That's okay. You guys know that I've been on a journey recently, a journey of friendship. Of trying to make friends as an adult.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I'm 30. I'm getting a new passport. I have put a lot of effort into three relationships in my life. Three best friends, they've all moved overseas because no one wants to stay in New Zealand anymore. So I have only really got my partner and I've got friends, but I don't have any best friends. Yeah, he's on a quest at the moment. He's even doing jiu-jitsu to try and meet some new friends. And saunas.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Yeah, if you're listening to the show for the first time, that's been a journey for months. Are you going into the saunas with that moustache, are you? Just how I look every day. Yeah, just wondering. Yeah. Okay, so fine, just checking. So it said I needed a reference, personality reference. So obviously put my partner down and then I got to the end of it and it was like,
Starting point is 00:21:00 you can't put someone at the same address. And I was like, shook. Honestly, I was like, who do I use? It needs to be someone in New Zealand. Once again, all my friends have left. Who do I use for a reference? So I decided my best friend in New Zealand at the moment is probably Steph. Oh.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Why are you laughing at that? I'm known each other a decade. Yeah, we have. But it's just so sweet. And I get this random message on the weekend, not even a hi, hello, how's your weekend going? It's just a watch your passport number. And I thought you were getting hacked.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Genuinely, I was going to call you, being like, oh my God, some hacker wants my passport number. It's probably still on your passport number. But no, it's because you needed a reference. Yeah, I needed a reference. I thought you give me a good one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Ask me where Sean would rank on my best friend list. Yeah, well, that's, do you want to answer that? Actually, no, let's not ask me. No, no, no, no. Am I in the top 10? Well, honestly, Steph, would you consider Sean your best, like if you're only, ask my best friend? Yes, friend for this reference, would you go, Sean?
Starting point is 00:21:55 I'd say you're genuinely Top 30. That's quite low. That is a huge much. That's a lot. I couldn't name 30 people. I'm just joking. So, we spend a lot of time together. Anyway, Steph was a bit shocked.
Starting point is 00:22:12 She was like, you've got to give me a heads up when I'm putting you down as a reference. And I was like, oh, I thought you could be a good one anyway. But who else do I use? I don't have anyone else that I use. Do you guys have any suggestions for me of who I could? of use as a reference. I think you need to look for your best friends.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Yeah. I couldn't tell you. You know, I've been trying. You know, I've been trying. I've met that guy in the sauna the other day. I can't remember his name. That's not good. I did jiu-sitsu with Patty from upstairs, who works in engineering. You could have put Patty down.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I can't put Patty down. I've known Patty. I literally did Jiu-Sit with Patty once. But we are, our friendship is blossoming. We had lunch together the other day. Okay, Sean. Let's put yours and Patty's friendship up to the, to the, a big kind of reference test. Great.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Okay, because I mean, I know that we are close. We are close. But I do worry for you, Sean, and I feel like you do need another best friend. And you get attached quite quickly. You know, Steph's already your best friend. Patty already saying is your best friend. I think we should just, you just said a bit more careful. I'm saying Patty's not my best friend.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I'm saying I've known Steph a decade. I feel like that's not too quick. So let's get, because he won't recognise her voice, producer nurse Sam, to call up your new best friend Patty. No, don't do this. Or fake reference. You've done jiu-jitsu with once. And let's see if he thinks you're,
Starting point is 00:23:22 as tight as you think that you are as tight. You know? This is in your benefit, Sean. It's going to be revealing. Get out there. It is going to be revealing. There's no way this goes well for me. Oh, buddy.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Indestructible on the edge. Sean, Steph and Harrison, we don't need to do this, guys. Over the weekend, I got a new passport. I had to put someone down as a reference. I chose Stephanie Marks. Yeah, which isn't a great honour.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Huge. But all of Sean's like proper besties have all left Altero to go and live somewhere else And so we're on a bit of a quest to help you, Sean, trying to make some new friends And what a great opportunity That your new friend Patty missed out on Being your passport reference person
Starting point is 00:24:07 You chose me Because your best friend Steph took that job Yeah Well you guys, I'm trying, I'm on a journey of trying to make friends I've only hung out with Patty a couple times So Patty from me, he works upstairs in this building And that friendship is blossoming But I have known you a decade
Starting point is 00:24:19 So I figured I can't put him down as a reference He doesn't actually know the wrong enough. Were you guys even friends over the decade? Me and Steph. Were you though? We've been colleagues. Two friends. Okay, so we're going to put yours in
Starting point is 00:24:31 your new friend Patty's friendship to the test right now. And we're going to ask producer Nurse Sam to put on her best Harcourt's Cooper & Coe real estate agent voice. Barfoot. Barfoot. Good call. Nice.
Starting point is 00:24:45 And we're going to call Patty and see if he can create of a random and prompt you on the spot reference for his good friend Sean. Yes, yes. Okay, I hang out with this guy like twice. Engineering Patty speaking. Hi there. Is this Patrick Baines?
Starting point is 00:25:04 Yes, it is. Hi Patrick, it's Casey here from Barford and Thompson, CBD. I've just got an application here, a new tenancy application for Sean Hill, and he has popped you down as a reference. So I just wanted to do a quick reference check with you if you at a moment. Yeah, no worries. The first one here is he's said that you guys are a long time.
Starting point is 00:25:23 long-term friends, you're one of his long-term friends from Jiu-Jitsu. Was that it? Yes, yes, that's how we met. Okay, cool. And how long have you actually been doing Jiu-Jitsu together? Oh, we saw when we were teenagers. Teenagers? You've been doing it for quite a long time then?
Starting point is 00:25:38 Yeah, you think we're all good, but it's just we're not, but we love it. Oh, okay, no worries at all. So for the tenancy, of course, we want to select someone with, like, good values. We want to know that he's a good person. Do you have any examples of maybe, like, the kind of, things you know that he's ever done? Off the top of my head, he bought me some lovely birthday presents.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Oh, has he? For example, what has he got you? Like, what was the last birthday present he got you? I'm a big anime fan, so he got me this hand-drawn thing from an artist I like from my favourite anime. Oh, wow. Okay, that is lovely. That's very personal.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Okay, perfect. Next question here. So, okay, hypothetically, just to gauge how well you guys do know each other, if you were to get married, say, tomorrow, would he be on the guest list? And if yes, would he be your groomsman? He would be, my groomsman, yes. And if he wasn't available, he would find out what we've been learning at jutsu firsthand. You'd take him down, would you?
Starting point is 00:26:48 Yes. Oh, good. And then some. and then some I'll write that down here. I'd be very upset. All righty. Oh, that's good. Good friends, I see.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Okay, he's getting married soon, so I better be in his groom's party. Oh, is he? Okay, I'll make a note here. I'll be sure to pass that on. We're into the last two questions here. Sorry, it's taking a little long. We're nearly there. What is his biggest con?
Starting point is 00:27:13 Like, biggest downside, you'd say. He's too giving, like, to the point where he's quite often exhausted. because he just gives out all his time. He's always willing to help people, and it just wears him down sometimes. It doesn't really take much time for himself. Oh, wow. Gosh, that sounds really quite lovely.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I know that sounds too good to be true, right, but it's an honest-a-god truth. Big tick on this box. All righty, and then the last question we got is, what is his catchphrase? What is his catchphrase? God, I don't know. That kind of sounds like a trick question.
Starting point is 00:27:47 What sort of tendency? What question is that? No, it's just so that we kind of put it here so that we go back to the tenancy applicant and we can kind of give them a good gauge that we've had a really good chat with their friend and it just helps us like, I don't know, create a personal relationship with them as well. So if I don't know as catchphrase, it means that I'm not that close with them. No, no, no, well, yes, I mean, you would probably know your best friend's catchphrase, wouldn't you? Close friends.
Starting point is 00:28:12 I wouldn't say best friend. Oh, not best friends. Yeah. Oh, okay. So when you said that... Close personal friend. Would he... That's why he's not my...
Starting point is 00:28:21 That's why he wouldn't be my best man. Oh, so he wouldn't be your best man, but your greatest man. My actual best friend would be very upset if I said someone else was my best friend. Just to clarify. Okay. Well, does Sean know that you guys aren't best friends? Well, I might be his best friend. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Do you know how many friends he has? He's a popular guy and he does work in radio, so he probably has a lot of people who say they're his friend. Oh, okay. Okay. No, that's cool. Hey, well, thank you so much for answering these questions. I'll be able to complete the rest of the forms and application process now. So really appreciate your time.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Thank you so much, Patty. No worries. Thank you for the call. Cheers. Bye. Bye. I'm changing it. Patty's going down as the reference.
Starting point is 00:29:06 He lied so good for you. It is incredible. And Nurse Sam, our producer, I'm definitely using you for every prank call in the future. That was amazing. Have you ever got him any presents before? Never. Never. It's all lied for you.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Everything in there was a lie. Your avos head harder. Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Yes, no. This is a part of the show where Harrison will give us a social scenario that is being put in this week. And Steph and I will help give some advice with some social cues. I don't know if you guys have been in this situation before, but my nephew has a parent-teacher interview coming up.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Oh, cool. So he's like, I think he's 11 now. I should be 11. My sister can't make it. So I'm actually going to step in and be representing as the parent. Okay. Have you guys done this before? I went to my very first parent teacher night.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I've got like a 13-month-old baby at home, or was like a month or two ago? It was super cute. So I can only assume it's way different once they reach like 11 years old. Yeah, probably quite different. Quite different, yeah. So I was going to run you through a few tactics and things I could say to the teacher. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Okay, have you never done this before? No, I've never done this before. And it's not your child. I'm very nervous and I have been rehearsing things to say to her. Okay. So walk in, sit down, F school, am I right? No. That's kind of a cool approach to it.
Starting point is 00:30:37 No, I love school. School's for losers, am I right, miss? No, it's not, but it's not. I lean back in my chair a bit. You know, I was talking literally to my partner Jake this morning about school. It's the highlight of Seth's life. Literally.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Really? You have like six, six or seven or whatever years of getting given so many opportunities and also you just hang out with your friends at lunchtime, you just eat. And after school, you just eat. So it's just eating and getting thrown fun opportunities. It's the best time.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Suck up. There's no teachers listening. They're your teachers. You don't have to win them over. Okay, don't say that in a parenting situation. What's another one? Okay. Another one. Sit down and say,
Starting point is 00:31:15 So why is he your favourite? Oh, that's good, eh? It's a good opening line. I get backs him into a corner, and if they say he's not, then that's telling. Yeah, I'm going to say yes to that one. That's good. sit down, look at my nephew, and then look at the teacher and go,
Starting point is 00:31:29 you know, I used to smoke cigies back at school just like him. So that's another cool approach, I think, because, you know, it was cool to smoke cigies back in the day at school. No. No, don't do that. No, don't do that. I don't know if he does or not. Yeah, no, I wouldn't suggest that he does.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I would suggest it. I'm not encouraging, I'm just saying that I used to. No, it just makes you look bad. Does it? Yeah. Okay, say no to that. say he said you swear in front of the kids a lot what words did you generally use
Starting point is 00:31:58 so kind of outing her out for being a potty mouth that she's the children so you're just taking the back foot instantly yeah just presuming that she swears and see what she does say oh I say you know whatever it is or she'll say that's a lie yeah and they go good
Starting point is 00:32:15 that's the right answer okay maybe then maybe yeah okay if it gets bad mark say to the teacher, God I hate liars. Because she'll be lying about the marks. Yeah, stick up for him. Stick up for him. I'd say that's all good. Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Say to her, why do you turn up but class thinking of alcohol? Oh. I don't know. It's what my nephew's been saying. A lot of these have to do with really attacking this quite underpaid teacher. I'm not a parent-shall. I don't know how these work. I want my kid to look the best.
Starting point is 00:32:46 No, but the teacher's working really hard, and I'd say, yeah, to go in and just... She's out of her own hours doing this. That clue. Okay, well, there's two more. Open mind, please, guys. Slip over a $10 note to her and ask how much will it take to get him top marks? And then continue to go until it ran out of money in the wallet.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I wonder if that would work, actually. If you can bribe a police officer, you can bribe a teacher. You can't bribe a police officer in this. Can you? In this country? Have you guys? Wow. Final one.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Any affairs with the students? Your avos head harder with Sean. Steph and Harrison. The Edge. That was Saturday morning. Thanks, Sean, for my microphone. It's okay. I'm always trying to silence woman.
Starting point is 00:33:29 And I realized something that I'd never realized before about myself. And that is I have a special skill. Now, imagine this. I'm on the beach. Saturday morning. Dog heaven. It's like Disneyland. Dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Everyone there's got a dog. No. No, Andy. You hear it sounds like dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs. Dogs galore. And I'm facing this way, and I hear a dog behind me barking. Now, normally it's my dog. He's so annoying with this barking.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It's quite anxious boy. He's gone retriever, four years old. And it's not my dog, because I recognise the bark. It's not Larry's bark. And I'm like, poor, I play a little game to myself in my brain. And I, dogs barking, barking, and I'm like, hmm, border collie. It's a border collie bark right there. And I turn around, lo and behold.
Starting point is 00:34:22 It's a blibbing border collie, isn't it? Wow. So that's when I realised to myself that I can distinguish a dog breed from the dog bark. Now, this has never been done on radio before, but I've asked you boys to come up with a few dog barks, sound effects of actual dogs barking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:43 And no word of a lie, I'm going to attempt to name each dog breed and proof that I can tell the breed from the bark. And fuller disclosure, Harrison and I both absolutely palmed this job off to produce a nurse Sam. So she'll have to join us to confirm whether or not this is the correct breed. While I am firing off these dog barks, I couldn't tell you what breed of dogs this is. I could tell you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Dog bark number one. Okay, I feel like that's a small dog. It's some kind of terrier. I'm going Jack Cross or terrier. It's a sausage dog, Steph. That was my second guess That was my second Okay, give me one more attempt
Starting point is 00:35:23 One more attempt I think I need to stand up actually Because I was standing up at the beach Okay sorry Concentrates So we recreate the moment Do you want to make some like Beach sound Harrison
Starting point is 00:35:32 Perfect I reckon it's got a big tail On that one It's a husky that one I Produce a new No No
Starting point is 00:35:49 No What's your second guess Second guess Would be Dream of Sheepin on that one Yes Okay so Steve Superabout is
Starting point is 00:35:56 On her second guess, she can tell you who what the dog is. That's pretty good, it's very niche. Thank you so much. That was right. Told you. For this next one, I just want to, I want you to get that first guess out of the way and then give us a second guess of what you think it really is.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Okay, my initial instinct is a king, Charles Cavalier. Is that your first guess or your secret? That's my first guess. Okay, yeah, go. My second guess is, um, can I hear it one more time please Sean. Poodle? What if it starts a shir?
Starting point is 00:36:45 A shih. A shitsu? Shnoot. A shoodle? Yes, shoodle, that's it, Steve. Okay, well, you've had it to her. Wait, wait, but is it some kind of poodle, though? Yeah, it's a, like it's a shitsu weather poodle. She mowed it to the window.
Starting point is 00:37:01 I'm joking me? And you still didn't get it? Maybe you do need prescriptions. It's insane. Okay, the final one. Okay, no mouthing, no mouthing, don't she? Steph is a superpower, and that is that she can tell you the breed of the dog based on the bark on her second guess. Oh, God, that one's so annoying.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Chihuahua. That's your first guess. Okay, um, poor. Second guesses. God, there's so much pressure. Should so? No, no. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:37:43 It's a pug. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. I could determine what dog breed the dog is from just hearing the bark. I was adamant that it's my special power that I didn't realize I had until now until we tested it a few minutes ago. And look, it needs work. I need to really fine-tune my skill.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Yep. Oh, whatever. Well, you do it. Second-guess Steph at the moment. It was impressive that you got some of them, but they were all on at least the second-guet. So who has another mundane superpower? Sammy is here on 0-800-the-edge.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Sammy, what can you do? So I'm ridiculously good at doing animal impressions. Okay. So name the animal, I'll do it. So you don't have an arsenal. It's just kind of any animal. You'll be able to pull it off. Yeah, pretty much.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I don't think you can ask a caller if she's an arsenal or not. Can't you? Can you? Can you reverse this, Sammy? Can you do an animal sound of where you can guess what it is? Absolutely. I'm going to do like a nonchalant dog. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:54 I reckon it's going to be a dog. Steve. Woof. Oh, I see. I see what's happening here. I'm going to go nonchalant dog. Okay, well, let's just give you one. Can you give me a pig impression, please?
Starting point is 00:39:11 Oink. Okay, I see what's happened here. Hold on. You're pretty good. No, there's a good. Horse? Yep. No.
Starting point is 00:39:20 No, no, I don't know if you can't be with it, but yeah, horse would be good. Do you don't want to play anymore or something? Yeah, I'm not sure. Sammy, you don't have to do animal noises to us, but if you could do a horse, that would be good. Say yay, say yay if you'd like to do it. Yay. Okay, now do it. Now do it?
Starting point is 00:39:46 No. No, she still doesn't want to do it. You keep changing your mind, Sammy. We're not sure. It's okay. If you're not comfortable, Sammy, I think we'll move on. Thank you, though. That was really good.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Can't break it breaks to Sammy. That's good. And Kristen's here on 0800 The Edge. What is your low-key superpower? So whenever I go out, I can always find a park really close to the entrance of any, like, shopping centre or anything like that. Oh, that's a good one to have. Well, she can't. Prove it.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Prove it. I'm outside of your work right now, Sean. Wait, actual? No, I'm in Christ, Judge. Oh. That would be very impressive. How do we test this one? Hmm
Starting point is 00:40:26 We fly to Christchurch And we jump in the car With Kristen on a busy Saturday afternoon And we go to Rickerton Mall And try and find a car park Okay Yeah It'll be fun
Starting point is 00:40:35 We believe you Kristen Hey keep texting in by the way 3343 It would be fun to get as many Low-level Superpowers as we can And yeah Try and test them out I can smell cockroaches
Starting point is 00:40:45 That's a good one I'd love to see if they can Actually smell cockroaches I can smell ants I've got that You know how half people can Half people can't Yeah
Starting point is 00:40:53 I can't smell ants I can smell pie. I think everyone can smell pie. Can they? I can smell cock. Roaches. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. Right, if you're not a big viewer of the news like me and you kind of don't really know what's going on in the world,
Starting point is 00:41:13 well, Sean and Harrison are going to tell us what's been happening in the relatively new news. Bull of Anark, everybody, and welcome to relatively new news. I'm Harrison Keith and I'm Sean Hill. It is the 28th of July and currently earthquake free today. Following a big weekend of sport, the war is unfortunately losing for the first time in a few weeks. But up the tax! Am I right? As in the A&Z Premiership Netball Grand Final, the mainland tactics defeated the Northern Mystics. Prime Minister Christopher Luxem was there in support and said this is why he loves netball.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Actually, the cute part is seeing dads with their daughters and they've been all face painted up and the daughters are going off and they're dancing in the middle of the proceedings. and even the odd dad gets up and goes for a wiggle, so that's good. I don't know why, but I'm pretty sure that's sexist. Coke update back in April, five duffel bags were stacked with bricks of cocaine, valued at $30 million. They were found getting taken into a shipping container in Auckland here. Now, we have an update on this.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Prime Minister Christopher Luxon speaks on how expensive the drugs are, and as a professional, he has replaced the word coke with a code word. New Zealand has some of the most expensive plasterboard in the world. We're forced to pay six times the normal amount just to complete a job. A reporter asked, what if we tried to bring it through customs? It's a lot cheaper. He responded with this. And that is why, from tomorrow, will be automatically approved.
Starting point is 00:42:36 What a legend running our country. Pet Corner. Let's listen to Altaro's favourite pets. Petunia Nelson and her baby rabbit flopper. Bison from Gore with his Jack Russell Collin. And breathe from Flexmere with her Lama Persons. You know what? What is this news?
Starting point is 00:43:02 How is that news? You know what Harrison? Percy just cracks me up, doesn't she? Weather chat. Bit of a change for the worst in the old weather around Alteiroa this week. Heather Keats' head of weather news at Met Service describes the upcoming change as thus.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Very long, couple of fronts, quite warm, quite moister-laden. And just like that, I'm adding the term moistur laden to my daily water cooler weather chat vocabulary. Sounds a bit like a German delicacy, doesn't it? For dinners this evening, we will be servings in moisture laden. But in all seriousness, weather chat. Some strong winds approaching Alteaoroa.
Starting point is 00:43:37 It's an upticken winds by late this evening. They'll be gassing 90Ks. And then the rain follows a few hours after. 90 kilometre winds, Harrison. It's like step after one of those black bean and cheese burritos, am I right? Acidia. But yeah. And finally, remembering them.
Starting point is 00:43:55 It's the serious part of the show where we are. Pay our respect to the show or news? To the news, when ones that have lost, breaking news, hot of the press, Ozzy Osbourne has just passed away. This isn't news. This is... Well, it's relatively new news. But this is the point.
Starting point is 00:44:11 You know how it's the word news? It implies that it's new. It's relatively new news. Following day, Hulk Hogan has passed. We're all hulkimedia. That is sad. It's a lot of reality TV godfathers right there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:27 You okay? emotional. We're a big wrestling fan. And, yeah, and a really recent one. Justin, today. Betty White. That's not news. It's relatively new news, Steph. Relatively new news. Do you have a clip of her?
Starting point is 00:44:48 Could have been bothered with that one. Okay, I see how old is. Is there a clip there? Got nothing. Got nothing. Rest in peace, Auntie Betty. Remembering them. Not Auntie.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Betty, she's a dessert lady. Betty White. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. There's no radio show in the history of Altiaroa who's had a mascot, did you say Harrison? Yeah, a mascot. Never heard of
Starting point is 00:45:14 a show having that before, have you? No, only like sports teams. Chemist warehouse. Yeah, and I know people are thinking, people have already texting about this on 334, 3.4. That's going to be complicated to have a radio mascot. Like how will it work? Yeah, so this is for when we go out in public and do things.
Starting point is 00:45:32 We'll go to you things coming up up and down the country, so our mascot is going to come with us. You want to spend a large chunk actually more than what we've got for our whole show budget on just the costume. But isn't that fun? Guys, it's going to be our Mickey Mouse. No, I can't wait. It's going to be our Ray and Bo.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Oh, yes. You know, like we need that. It's going to be like lollipops playland tiger. Yes. It's going to be such a misuse of company spend. I'm kind of on board for it. But this is all for the listers as well because people are texting and calling in their ideas
Starting point is 00:46:02 so keep texting your ideas of what you want in 33-4-3. Well, it's not for them because we could give away that money on the radio and you're wanting to buy a very high-quality mascot album. But we're spending the money, but we're giving them whatever they dream of, we're making it. That's a pretty good response. It's pretty joy, Sean. Jeez, man.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Try it sometime. Now, Harrison, God, what a creative brain you've got. You're a genius, honestly, truly. Thank you. Now, do you have any experience mascoting? Because is this an idea that's kind of been plucked out of nowhere? Thank you for asking, Steph. I did want to be able to relate to an idea.
Starting point is 00:46:33 If I come in strong with that, I can always relate to it. You know, I come from the heart. And yes, I'll be honest, guys, I was previously a mascot. Where? Who are you a mascot for? I'm not, no, Sean, I'm not proud of it. Okay, but I was... What do you mean? You're not proud of it? I wasn't proud of being the mascot, but I was a mascot.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Well, for what? It's hard to... Yeah. Get it out, mate. Yes, I don't know, I'm going to be this open. But the Unison Man. Who? The Unison Man.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Is that a chemist? No, it's a power company. Oh. Unison Power Company. Oh, that's exciting. I'm going to Google this. See, he's kind of like a superhero guy. Wow.
Starting point is 00:47:12 And he's one of those weird mascots where he's kind of a human. You know, just human on a human is always weird. Oh, that is super weird. Yeah, it is. What kind of places would you have to appear as this mascot? Parades, Blossom Parades in Hawks Bay. Just kind of events for the kids. But one day,
Starting point is 00:47:29 poor, this, the one day that scared me was the Hawks Bay Beach Day, the Wymudama Beach Day. It's a big day in Hawks Bay. We're not the hottest days of the year. Everyone's at the beach doing games,
Starting point is 00:47:41 and everyone turns up to do Miss Wymarama, all that kind of stuff. And the Unison guy's there. And I've just made this connection. This is when I used to be a little intern for the Hawks Bay Edge. Back in the day. Back at high school. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:56 And I was 17, they were like, hey, Udison want someone to be a mascot, can you step in, the guy doesn't want to do it. Wow. I was like, the edge, I'll do whatever you want me to do, absolutely. And so I chuck on this massive outfit, you can't see out of it. No one's guiding me. Bloody edge, they're doing other things. Like, yeah, you can do it. Oh, Albed.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Nah, it's all right. It's hawksbady. You know, when you're doing that position, you're just kind of doing all those jobs. Yeah, did you bump into lots of walls then if no one was guiding you? Lots of what? Walls. That's the beach? No, it's at the beach.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Oh, true. Kids. Oh, who even worse? Genuinely, kids. Oh, no. And I was a Superman, so I was kicking and punch. Oh, my God. You punched a kid.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Well, it was so hot, I couldn't stop sweating. And with all these kids in the beach, this lolly scramble thing, I'm throwing out the lollies of the kids as the Unison Power Man, hitting the kids in the face of the lollies, feeling faint, no word of a light, straight in my back onto the sand.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Fainted. Fainted. Wow. Everyone's like, What is the Unison man sleeping? Jump on top of you. And then a lot of, yeah, I was like, well, why is he by himself? Someone was there to help me.
Starting point is 00:49:02 And then I woke up in the Gungy, Wiamma Beach Club's public changing room, took off my head and, yeah, got some water, came to, and I was all good. So did people help you? Did they, like, take off your head and then carry you to the changing room? Like, how did you get there? Yeah, they must have me. They are around my arms. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:49:21 And I was so shocked. And then I went back to the edge people who were sitting under the sun drinking on some free Fri-up juice, yeah, that was that. And they were drinking that. They're like, where have you been? I was like, oh, I just turned some mascot and I felt really faint. They're like, cool, can you go get the things from the car, please? We need the signage.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Classic. Yep. We need the pull-ups up. Well, fantastic. I didn't realize you had such, like, a great experience, but also quite traumatic experience. Well, let's change all that. Very traumatic. Yeah, so I've been through the hard year.
Starting point is 00:49:49 I don't know it's a positive mascot for us, you know? We're not going to treat with my dirt. They're going to be very well looked after. We'll give our mascot a water. And they'll always be with us, so they'll always going to have a person. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. It's time for everyone's favourite moment of the day.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Watson? No, no. No, Steph. I saw what happened there. Off here I said, let's do a real fun intro. We'll all say it together. And then Steph said in the middle of it, we're Harrison, let's not do it and make Sean look like a big dick loser.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Okay, we'll do, we'll do it. Okay, ready? It's time for what? What? Nah, if you're back. What's in Steph's Bra? Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:50:31 No, you've lost me. Stupid bit. Okay, so. I was reading a pretty actually quite sad story. A woman in America, guess what state, by the way? Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:50:42 No, damn it. Memphis. No. Well, you know all the weird stories come out of Florida. You guys know that. Tennessee. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:51 No, Florida. So anyway, a woman was trying to fly from Miami to Florida. And the TSA has had to, which is like the important airline security people, have had to release this statement. Friends, please, we cannot emphasize this enough. Stop hiding animals in weird places on your body
Starting point is 00:51:08 and then trying to sneak them through airport security. That's literally a statement put out by the TSA because she, this is the sad bit, she had wrapped living turtles up in what appeared to be gauze and plastic wrap. hid them in her breasts, like her bra, to try and transport them from one place to another in America. One, unfortunately, did die, which is so sad.
Starting point is 00:51:37 But there is a surviving turtle, and it's been turned over to the Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife. Imagine dying from being suffocated from breasts. Yeah, well. If you were going to go out. Yeah. Should we just leave you to have a moment visualising that? Nah.
Starting point is 00:51:51 You're happy to move on? It's not cool. No, no, no, no. But... Okay, anyways. If I was really sick, and that was a euthanasia option, you can drown or... You know?
Starting point is 00:52:04 Death by boobies. Yeah. So I'm going to invite producer nurse Sam to join in here because as the bra wearers on the show, I mean, I can only... I mean, that's a big assumption from me to you, actually, Sam. Well, weekdays, yep. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:18 After 7pm when the show's over, can confirm it comes straight off. But I think you can help educate the boys with me here, Sam, that the brine is a wonderful place. Now, not for turtles, but we have, as Wahina, this amazing ability to hide... No, we'll get breastfeeding, yes. But this wonderful ability to hide things in our bra.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Yes, yep, yep. What have you hidden before, Sam? Hidden? Or just, you know, kept there for a night out? Phone, money, lip, Glass, lipstick. ID. Tampon.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Tampon's always a great one actually, because that's just not something you want to have in your pocket. No, yeah. And back in the day, like, handbags weren't a thing for me growing up when we went out. You'd wear your little dress in heels and a handbag was like a hassle. Yeah. So we used to just, yeah, shove it all in your bra.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Shove it all in. For me, rotissory chicken. What? Steph. How much rotissory chicken? It's a lot. You put a whole rotissory chook up there. You guys are saying, well, there's room.
Starting point is 00:53:22 TV remote. If I ever want to like dibs the channel, then I'll just like change it, change the channel to whatever I'm going to watch, hide the TV remote in my bra. Be like, no, I can't find it anywhere. It's gone. Yep. You know the toddler sucky pouches? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you can fill it with like vodka and.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Festivals and things. Oh, good idea, Sam. Yeah. Monopoly deal. Just crazy. I actually understand all of these because I feel like I hide it in my mail.
Starting point is 00:53:52 area, all these things you just said. All these things? Yeah. What's your mail area? My go out there. All that stuff can live in there. You also fit, so on paper shakers down there.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Oh yeah. That's what I've got. Yep. Really? Knife and fork? You never know when you'll need them. I do sporks. Oh, just the one.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Yeah, two is a, yeah. What about a soft cover dictionary? You guys know how I love to correct people spelling. Yep. Steve paper cuts. Steve goes, actually, and then pulls an entire dictionary out of her bra. And then Harrison goes, no, well, actually, and then he pulls a dictionary out of there.
Starting point is 00:54:29 It's crazy. When I used to, when I used to, when I used to say, when I was younger, I used to put shots on my gooch. They pre-made shots. Surely you put those in your brow. Brow shots. Oh, shots are rough but warm gooch shots. Oh, yeah. The flavour?
Starting point is 00:54:46 I'm imagining one of those Baileys and Midori ripped out. The viper. The green one, Joe. Oh, so go. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. One man has spent his whole weekend watching movies, and we're going to get the review. Popcorn.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Phone's off. Another trailer. Harrison's movie corner. Guys, I love movies. Okay, and I want to give you listeners, and you two in the room, are my honest thoughts on the new movies out before you watch them. Oh, okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Good. Disclaiming, this is all going to be spoiler-free. Thank God. Oh, that's good, because I do want to watch that new Fantastic Four. I saw that came out over the weekend. Oh, well, I did watch a superhero movie on the weekend, Sean. Mr. Fantastic, a visible on the human torch, and the thing faced their most daunting challenge year as they defeat Earth from Galactus and the Silver Surfer.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Oh. That is the Fantastic Four, the first steps. No, I already know. This is not for me. It's a lot of jargon words. I don't quite pick up on that. Yeah. Cal from the Edge Nightshot has come over very intently listening.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Big marble fan. Don't watch me, Cal. There's my little review here. The score, the world, the action scene. 10 out of 10. It really was. It was set in the 60s. Oh, cool. Future 60s, very good, very good style.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Actions amazing. Their powers are amazing. But overall, Marvel is still in their ruts of being safe, predictable and boring. They are. They're very safe, very family-friendly. Take a risk, I think. Especially after watching the new Superman, that was out the gate amazing. This was just like, yep, you're still a bit crap. Oh, Cal from the Night Show is giving you a gesture now. It's like his favourite.
Starting point is 00:56:20 movie ever right now. And can I just say, Cal, you might agree. Bring back Jessica Alba? I do like Jessica Alba. I did like the originals. I just want to say that I looked through Harrison's letterboxed and he voted, what was it? What's that one that's on
Starting point is 00:56:37 Netflix, the demon hunters, K-pop Demon Hunters. You gave that like a three and a half. It's a great movie. But you gave Fantastic Four or three? Yeah. I don't think we should be trusting your reviews after that. So, the movie review site.
Starting point is 00:56:51 All right. So what was your second movie, Harrison? Second movie, it was a comedy. Gilmore returns to the sport of golf since his retirement after winning the first tour championship to his fiancé, his daughter's ballet classes, to finance. I've misread that. Sorry, Happy Gilmore 2 was the movie, actually. Yeah, happy Gilmore's back and he's trying to raise money to take his daughter to a ballet
Starting point is 00:57:12 school in Paris, and it's like hundreds and thousands of dollars, so he used to get back into golf to try and afford it. Yeah. Yeah. So I want to say is it's a very fun. movie. It's not as good as the first one and it's not a great movie. It's terrible. I watch it on the weekend. No, but how can
Starting point is 00:57:26 you not watch Adam Sandler movie and just have the best time? Like it's funny. He seemed depressed in it. He is depressed in it. He's like to be. But also like just I don't know, the vibes weren't on. Really? There were so many great cameos. A million good cameos.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Really great cameos. My favorite Bad Bunny. He played his... He was great in it. His caddy for a little bit. Travis Kelsey. Yeah, he's pretty good. Very good. That were the two highlights for me. But it's just like a movie that I'd watch again. I'd watch it again over Fantastic Four. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:57:57 That's huge. Lovely movie. Go watch it. It's on Netflix. And finally, I rated that movie out of five. Okay. You rated it lower than Fantastic Four, but you say you watch it again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:09 It's a confusing system. The final movie that I watched was a romantic comedy. Description here is, an insane scientist has a Maccabee fantasy. He gets a chance to realize his fantasy when he meets a troika of tourists. Sorry, the words are a bit jumbled there. Did you write?
Starting point is 00:58:29 These was the chat d'Eptych. No, this was from Google. This was the description. It was like a different language film. It wasn't English. The movie was The Human Centipede. Okay. What did you think of it?
Starting point is 00:58:42 I just wrote Hot, Funny Five Stars. Hot! It's a romantic comedy. It's not a romantic. I don't think it is. Your Ravos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. What nickname have you given your partners downstairs?

Starting point is 01:04:45 Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge Hey, that was the podcast. Hope you've enjoyed if you did and, well, you would, you still be here, you're still here. If you're listening to this, you've enjoyed it. Hello, everybody.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Thank you for that. Guys, I'm getting clucky, which is crazy. You got a baby. I know, I've already got one. And a dog. That one you mean another baby, eh? So many of my friends are having babies.
Starting point is 01:05:07 Wow. I know. What's wrong? I just can't, I just know. Just no. Can I use an analogy from my life for what I think might be similar to having a baby?
Starting point is 01:05:17 Yeah. And that is getting a tattoo. hear me out. I know it's not exactly the same. But with a tattoo, every time we get a tattoo, you're in so much pain and you're like, why did I do this? And then afterwards you're like, that's pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:05:29 And then like a year later, you kind of, like, I want to get another tattoo. You kind of forget about all the stuff that isn't good about it, and you just think about cool stuff. A tattoo's cool. Do you get to that point with a baby while a year after you're like, I want another baby?
Starting point is 01:05:39 You forget about childbirth and all that. When you first started talking, I think I was going to walk over and hit you. But actually, I think you were spot on. I think that is the exact kind of like mind frame of like oh my god this is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life I'm never doing this again
Starting point is 01:05:54 So you're saying it's an addiction Well not an addiction Just like you do forget about the pain And you just get to the cool bit And you're like Oh yeah I could do that again Harrison's got a great analogy as well For having a baby that you were talking about earlier
Starting point is 01:06:05 What was it? Was I? Yeah About having a baby Yeah you said this is just like having a baby Did I just? Yeah Yeah no yeah you're right
Starting point is 01:06:15 You're right you're right I think it's the thing is soon as things for you personally as a human being on this earth to get like a really annoying or just over saturate and you go oh I'm over this I want something new in my life want something else that's when you have a baby oh so when he gets so bored you're like I need to jazz my life up a bit no matter what you love roco yeah no matter what yeah I want to emphasize that very heavily here but new things are cool right do you know so I'm like oh kind of sick of him kind of Bit old.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Bit old. It's like buying you clothes. You know in the nicest way, but you're kind of stuck here. No, it's not that at all. It's like mum and dad with the swinging that I was stuck here, but we'll start swinging on ears because that's new for us. No, I wouldn't say that. It's just everyone around me is just having little babies. Yeah, clucky.
Starting point is 01:07:01 That's funny. Have you guys ever experienced that in your life? Like even one time, have you seen someone else's baby and it's made you be like, oh, I could have one of them. Yeah, a lot of like my young, a lot of my mouldy friends have babies. I feel like they all have it quite young. and their fauna support the baby. That's kind of how the culture works.
Starting point is 01:07:17 They all look after that baby. Yeah, it's like a real village. And they're so just like, you know, we're going to pop to the shop to usually go after the baby. Whereas I feel like, not saying it's different to any other culture, but they're a bit more like, oh, we'll hold on to the baby, we'll take with a very like, oh yeah, whatever. And seeing that, I go, yeah, I could have a baby.
Starting point is 01:07:33 And that was probably three years ago. Wow. Now, fuck, man. In Auckland. I'm not having a baby right now. Oh, my gosh. It'll be so stressful. I am at the point right now we're engaged
Starting point is 01:07:46 and we've been together a while, we live together for three years and Jeannie, my partner is pushing 30 so she's like switched in the last couple years where genetically she's now predisposed to like think everything's adorable. And I actually have to have a chat with people when they bring a cute baby around her. I'll pull the guy aside and be like, hey mate,
Starting point is 01:08:03 what fuck are you doing? Take it away. I said to her cousin. Her cousin had the cutest baby and we were at a party the other day that was there and it's like two months old. And actually he's like, and we had a chat over in the corner
Starting point is 01:08:13 And I was like, Tim, you can't bring this baby around. That's kind of the thing, man, you know, like you're engaged, you live together, you're looking for her house together. It's like my girlfriend's brother, he had, they had a baby, got married and moved into her house all in one year. You're getting a bit of a role, you know? Yeah. And I reckon, you know, she was, you know, you're saying she was like, vibing about engagement. She had a bit, she was a bit clucky for engagement, I feel.
Starting point is 01:08:39 Yeah. And now what's next? Oh, baby would be nice. Oh, yes. I reckon, I'm going to call it right now. She'll want to be like hot bride though. So like hot bride and then as soon as she's, she's got a ring on it, then it'll be like,
Starting point is 01:08:51 all right, can have a baby now please? No, it'll be at the reception going, why aren't you drinking? That'll be it. That's what I reckon it would be. You know, it was up to her probably, but I actually had a serious chat with her where I'm like, no kids for four years.
Starting point is 01:09:02 I had a serious chat with her and she was a bit upset, but. Well, it's because, and can I just say it how it is, and it was my experience as well, literally, and I might have told you this before, but literally on my 30th birthday, the actual day, I remember because I was in the staff kitchen, I heard my biological clock.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Like I heard it in my brain. I was like, oh my God. Like, because your whole 20s, you avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid at all costs. And then something happened on my 30th birthday that I was like, oh my God, I need to actually take this seriously now and think I've probably got to start. getting cracking kind of thing. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:09:44 Yeah, it was something weird. So I'm just saying, from her point of view, Sean, if she is knocking on 30, then that probably is likely to be her thought. She's one carrying it, man. It's one up to you, okay? It's not up for me. She's ready.
Starting point is 01:09:55 She's ready to her body. I feel like it's a little bit up to me. No, man, I think it's all on her. You reckon? Okay, 5% for you. I have been hiding condoms in case she pokes holes in them. How much do you reckon, Steph, from having a child, how much percentage do you reckon it is your choice to have the baby?
Starting point is 01:10:11 Well, I think it does need to be bogged. Like, I'm not ready, but you're like, oh, you know, Jake's like, I'm not ready, but I'm ready for it, though. And you get pregnant. I don't know. It's an interesting question. But maybe if she's ready before you're ready, but you start trying anyway, because you never know how long it's going to take to try, right?
Starting point is 01:10:29 But it could be a year away once you start trying two years away. Yeah. So maybe. That's a scary part. It's like if it takes ages. Yeah, you just never know. You don't want to push it too late. That was kind of why we started trying sooner rather than later.
Starting point is 01:10:41 just in case it did take ages. But also, if she got pregnant, you're like not 100% ready. But as soon as she's like, sure, and I'm pregnant, I reckon something in your brain will be like, all right, we're on here. And you'll like just like forget about everything else. And that'll be all your concern. And you'll be ready, even though you think that you won't be.
Starting point is 01:11:00 And plus, there's never a reedy ever. No, exactly. It's literally four years off because I've got so many extracurricular things I want to do. I just don't want to stay home all the time with a baby at the moment. Yeah. Got to get to your basketball, your social netball, your jitzu. Honestly, honestly, I'm back doing stand up once a week and then DJing once a week as well. It's literally, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:20 I'm just like the next four years. I just want to do all these things that I want to do in my life and try and take some boxes. And then be happy with staying home and doing it. It's not yet. You know you don't have to stay home when you have a kid as well. Yeah, but probably can't be out six nights a week. You're not out six nights a week. Probably between doing social sport and doing like DJ gigs and stuff.
Starting point is 01:11:39 That's where I'm trying to. Six nights a week, you're out. Okay, maybe not. What am I doing? That's every night, bar one. That's crazy. That's like what his lifestyle. That's Harrison's lifestyle.
Starting point is 01:11:49 That's a lot of nights. Let's say four nights a week. I'm doing some kind of thing, whether it's a sport or a gag or a comedy. It's almost 50-50. You can have three nights with your child. I think you should have a baby now, man. I'm calling it.
Starting point is 01:12:02 I do too. I want Jenny to be a mum. I know. It's imminent to me that you both want it to happen. Jenny will be a hot bride. And then let the hot bride have a baby. Come on. Literally ever, baby.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Come on. Okay. Well, this was a weird chat. I didn't realize how you two felt about my off-string, but it's pretty strong. I think I had a dream about her. You'd make a great dad. Oh, thanks. You both would.
Starting point is 01:12:21 Oh, thanks. Together? Yeah. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
