Well, we gave away each year and tickets today. Yeah, we sure did. in quite unique ways. My favourite way is actually we've ever given away prizes ever, both times. Very fun, very entertaining to listen to. The greatest tap that I've ever heard, genuinely. Thank you.

Thank you. And we did an edge here and impression competition to give away the other double pass. And you'll listen that it doesn't quite go how we envisioned. No, you'll hear it. You'll hear it. And the other big news is that we've got our three finalists for the mascot.

It's big show guys. Huge. Huge. Huge. Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show. How are we're going? We were a bit confused for a second.

I couldn't tell if that was a song or the intro. Me too. But no, this is normally The Edge, isn't it? Yes. Great radio station. God, it's my favourite one. Same. But today, it's the Ed. That's why.

Because... Ed Sharon is coming next year. Yes. And we're giving away tickets today on our show. Yes. I got there. Exactly. And how you could be winning these Ed Sharon tickets is actually going to be a lot of fun.

If you've never experienced the joy that is tap that, where Harrison taps an Edsharing song and you need to try and guess what it is to win, then stick around because we're going to be playing it in the next 30 minutes. Yeah, it's a pretty complex game, but it's worth it for a ticket. Or two. Or two? Are we getting away double passes? Double passes.

And I do have to apologise. I'm just going to, you know, just straight off the bat. I'm really sorry about how I sound. today. I feel fine. Like, I don't want you to be like, ooh, Steph, go home, you sound so sick. But, like, I totally feel all good. It's just my voice that's dying. No, text it on a 3343 if you think

Steph's raspy voice is hot. Oh, don't do that. It can be. I mean, you can't totally text that as well. Yeah, it'd be nice. It'll be lovely. It'll be lovely. You'd like that. Oh, it'll be lovely.

Appreciate that, appreciate that. I'd prefer it. Do you? Yeah. Stop looking at me like that. Sorry. with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

But playing a very simple game. Can I bring in the call of Steve? Absolutely can. Okay, I'm going to do what you do. Oh my gosh. She's all the way from Chitia. She's a flight attendant and her name is Sarah. Sarah, welcome to the show.

Hello. How's the planes? Plaining. Plaining. Yeah, nice. God, do you know what one of my dreams in life is is to learn the flight attendant speech at the start of the flight? Oh, yeah.

Like the, please do away your tray tables. make sure your fingers and toes are away from moving parts. You know that whole spiel? Yeah, and do you know what I like? I don't know what kind of planes you're working on, Sarah, but I love that. One airline company has a video, you know, lots of celebrities, but the other, they acted out.

And it's very fun to watch. Let's guess what company Sarah works for. How nice are the seats? Pretty nice. In New Zealand. New Zealand? Yeah, yeah. Nice.

All right, Sarah, these are the rules. You'll have 30 seconds. Your letter will be W. We're going to ask you 10 questions. And each one of your answers need to start with the letter W. No repeated answers. You can pass whenever you have trouble and hopefully we'll have time to get back to it. And your time will begin when Harrison today finishes saying the first category.

Are you ready? Ready. Sarah. With the letter W. Your first question. Name an animal. Whale? A cartoon.

A pass. A famous beach. A pass. A children's book. Wallace and Gromit. Something you can smash. Watermelon. A vegetable.

Wasabi. Something in Game of Thrones. Warhammer. A weather event. Oh Time there, Sarah. Time. Sarah.

That was tough. Sarah, that was a tough one. Really hard. How many did she get? Produced the nurse Sam is our judge this afternoon. Three. Three.

Oh, sorry, Sarah. You skipped a cartoon. You could have seen Wallace and Grummet. No, she did say that for her children's book. Oh. Cartoon Wallace and Grummer. and a famous beach, Waikiki, Whitehaven, oh, it's Sundays.

That's hard. That is hard. Sorry about that, Sarah. That's rough. That's rough. Your Arvo's head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. You're on The Edge, Arvo, Sean's Stephen Harrison.

Sean is away at the moment. Steph, his microphone doesn't work, which is, it's unplugged and just put that in. This is a good chat, actually. Do your story? My story? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm here. This is so hectic to watch.

Sorry, I can tell my story when you're doing that. Guys, professional broadcaster, but just forgot to plug in the microphone. I plug your microphone. That's okay. Yeah, that's all good. Anyway, this is the Ed. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Very soon we have free Ed sharing tickets to the Wellington gig to give away.

So stick around for that. Harrison, what happened at breakfast? Oh, yeah. So I went for Brecky this morning. Because as you know, I do this radio show. I do a bit of acting, but I also do a bit of social media. You know? So I go out and I, to meet up with these brands, you go out for breakfast.

You have a coffee and stuff. Yeah, it's pretty nice. Yeah, real nice. I usually pay for it, so I guess it's nice. Yeah, I'll order everything. I'll have that, that, that, that, that. And so I go out with this guy this morning and we're having breakfast together. And we're getting along really well, probably the first 15 minutes,

eating on a house and fire. We're choosing what to eat. Yeah. And then the waitress comes out and we're like, I'll get this, I'll get this. And she goes, oh, just before I leave, how would you like your eggs? And I was like, um, over easy. Over easy? Yeah.

What does that mean? So over easy. I've never heard of that. I've never heard of that. You cook like both sides of the egg. Of a fried egg. So it's fully white around the whole egg. Yeah.

Like fried? Yeah, it's kind of fried. I literally have that every morning. But you flip both sides. Yeah. That's over easy. Oh, I eat that every day. Okay, well this is good for my argument.

So I say over easy. And he gives me so much slack for saying that. Yeah. But like to a point, it was a bit far. Like he was like, oh God, you're a bit needy. and then the waitress starts to like smile but it encourages them to go even more and so he's like oh so what you think you're big time

you think you're American you think these chefs can do whatever you please I'm like what is happening this is a bit this is a client that I like want to work with in the future and he's just completely slagging me off weird and she's just like kind of smiling and then she starts feeling awkward oh do you want me to feed you this morning

real like what's his beef with a Friday I don't know but I think he thought he thought he was funny See, I thought, so I would never order a fried egg if I'm at a cafe. And the reason being is because I can make it myself. Right. But I cannot for the life of me make a good poached. So I'm always ordering what I can't actually make at home. I'm always ordering a poached.

No, Harrison, I think that's where you went wrong. I know, but I know over-easy sounds crazy to say maybe. But he's giving so much slack for it. And I was like, mate, we're trying to like to do. Well, maybe it's because no one calls it that here. Yeah. 3343. Have you ever heard of an over-easy egg?

I've never heard of it, but I eat it every day. And I was like so. shameful, like, terrible to my legs. Like, that's so embarrassed for this guy. And then she goes, how would you like your eggs? And he goes, curried. Did you rip into him? No, I'll be, I was the bigger person. Because I feel like that's more needy than what you're requesting.

And she was like, we don't do carried. And then he was having to go at her in the cafe for not doing carried eggs. Oh, I don't think you want to work with this guy. It was a horrible meaning. Were you like, oh, I need to go to the bathroom and then run away. We had to sit there for 40 more minutes and hear about, and hear it. I hope he's not listening now, although I kind of hope he is. I hope he's listening. But I think overall, it's a good experience.

So, I mean, I learned a lot from it, and I got bad vibes anyway. But I think it's a good idea because I didn't think investing into Bitcoin was a good idea. Oh, it was the Bitcoin guy. It was a Bitcoin guy. Well, no wonder he's a crap. I know. And I was like, well, I'm definitely not going to do that. Cheers, mate.

Yeah, cheers for the opportunity. Old curried eggs over here. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. This is not The Edge, actually. It's actually a little radio station by the name of The Edge. today. Oh, because of it cheeryn.

Yeah, because of Ed Shearing. He's coming back to the country, and we are supporting him on his loop tour hitting up Christch, Auckland and Wellington. It's all going down January at the start of next year. And right now we have your free tickets to head along to the Wellington show. With a little game called...

Tap that. Yeah, Sarah's in song. Tap that. You'll tap all day long. Tap that. It is tap, choose and gone. Tapet. Tickets, by the way, for all of those gigs

are on sale right now. All those details. torover.nz. But a free double pass to the Wellington gig up for grabs. If you can correctly guess what song Harrison, the tap dancer extraordinaire

is tapping. See, I get nervous for the, I usually do it for fun and maybe you want a couple of movie tickets. When it's Ed Shearing. It's a big one. People are, and rightly so, animals to get this.

Yep, exactly. So I feel a bit of pressure, but I'm excited to tap for you guys. How many years experienced tap dancing do you have? I tap from the age of six to, 16. Okay, so 10 years. Well, now 25, so it's almost been 10 years off.

So 10 years on, 10 years off? Yeah. And now you're back on again. Just. So, 0800 the edge is our number. Harrison will perform, and then you will guess. Whoever gets it right first will win. Harrison, tap it away.

Oh, my gosh. I reckon that's an easy one today. I reckon I got it. Do you? Let's see if Esme from Taranaki got it. Esme, these tickets for the Wellington gig. What do you think? Harrison was tapping.

to win a double pass to Ed Sharon. Oh no, hold on. Hold on, can't hear you. One second. Esme, what was your guess? What? What are you saying? What are you saying, Esme?

Is it shivers? Shivers. Sorry, no, Esme, it is not shivers. Not shivers. Shivers. Shivers. Got it wrong. All right, let's go to Tash.

And now from Samark Kim Okato, Tash, for a double past to the Wellington Ed Sheeran's show. What song was Harrison tapping? Is it Sapphire? Who's on the phone right now? It's Tasha. Tasha. Hello. Hi, Tasha.

You're going to bloody head. Shoot, Tasha. Hey! Thank you so much. I'm shaking. My knees are shaking. You can make it from Auckland down to Wellington, January, can you? Thank you so much.

I'll do anything to get there. Who you're going to take? My husband. Oh, that's cute. Rodey, a little weekend getaway. Brody. Really bring the spark back, you know. Yeah.

Not that it's gone or anything. So, so, so much. Thank you. You know what? Thank you for respecting my tap and just getting it straight away. I really appreciate that, actually. That's the real winner here today. Should we hear it one more time with the song?

Yeah. Okay, here we go. A five, a six. A five. That's your best one. Thank you. You're really good at that. Your Avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. Arvo. Polo. So that's a poll that we do every day on our edge of his Instagram. And on Friday, we do the Avo Polo. challenge where our lovely producer, Nurse Sam, will read out the results from the week, and one of us get to challenge one of the polls to, you know, try and win that one, because they would have probably lost it.

Now, Sean's away sick today, so there's just the two of us, but we'll still go through all the results, even though poor Sean, he is sick, and he did lose a few of these. But producer nurse Sam, run us through the polls, my babe. All right, Monday we had, who has the longest tongue? Harrison won that one. Can I just also point out that Harrison comes up with all the poll questions? I was a bit weird about that one. Really? I mean, like, yeah, it's just a bit strange.

Well, like, honest, Steve, do you know how many poles I have to make up every day? There's so many, sometimes you just pick whatever comes into your brain. That's right. And were you happy with winning the longest tongue pole? Definitely not. Okay. Checking.

Okay, Tuesday's. Tuesday was, who has the best natural scent? And Steph won that one. Yeah, I don't love that one. Wednesday, who is the most likely to be recognised first? Harrison won that one. I'm okay with it. that? Are you? No, I'm totally happy with that.

I think it makes sense. You're the TikTok dancer guy. You're the radio host. Exactly. Radio. Radio. Right. Yeah, but famously, famously, that's how radio works. You can't see them. And Thursdays. Thursday was, who would look the best with blue hair? That's right.

Sean did. Yep, he won that one. Oh, go Seanies. Okay. Thank you for justiners, Sam. You're welcome. I'll be honest. One that is kind of bugging me. is one that you won. The smelly nice one.

Yeah, because I just don't agree with that. I knew that was going to get you bummed out because you lost that one. Yeah, well, it's either going to be that or blue hair. What are you going to do? Well, I'm happy to have people sniff me and prove once and for all that I smell the greatest out of the two of us, bigish ones away.

Okay. But it would be the three of us. Okay, well, I challenge the natural scent. And I think we need to get some people around the office, blindfold them, sniff us. And whoever has the best sniff, they win the poll. Okay. producer new Sam, can he recruits the jury?

Yep. We'll play a couple of songs. We bring some people in from the office. And what part of our body will they smell, Harrison? Just like the front of us. Like my chest? Yeah, just your chest, like just around you. Okay. And I know it sounds like we take this very seriously because we do,

because at the end of the year, we tally every week. So the end of the year, there's a big prize for the winner. And then Luzie gets a punishment. So we take these quite seriously. Very seriously. Okay, so stick around. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph, And Harrison.

The Edge. We're doing a bit of a challenge. Yeah, the Arvo. Polo! Shut. It is the Arvo Polo Challenge. And Into Lily is in studio with Josh and Kel from Knights because we needed a jury. Yeah, guys, you'll probably disagree with me when I say what the challenge is.

Who is the most natural scent? Steph won that? Who's got the best natural scent? He's got the best natural sense? Yeah, yeah. You guys, you don't seem as outraged. Okay, cool. Kind of makes sense.

It doesn't really. You just look like you'd smell delicious. Yeah. That is the biggest, like, compliment of ever had. Thank you so much. That is like the biggest dig to me. A whole time. Well, I mean, you did lose the pole.

I did lose the pole. So I want to challenge that pole, and I want you guys to blindly sniff us. And whoever smells the best with the best natural scent, they actually will now win the pole. Yeah, we do a challenge every Friday. So if our jury could just line up over there, please. Get us a wall, please.

And please close your eyes. and we'll get the sniff test started. Now, Harrison, what part of the body once again will they be sniffing? Groyd. Oh, God. Kelly yelled out groin. Just like torso area.

It was whatever was in front of them. So when we come up to you guys, don't move your heads, just take in what you smell. Yeah? Yeah. Okay, perfect. Okay, so. Steph, you come around here.

I'm going to come around there and we'll get the challenge underway. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to figure out how to do this. well, kind of rehearsed this. Okay, okay. So we're going to do a little mix and match little number.

Listeners, you'll not know who's going to go first or second. We're going to point to each other. Exactly, exactly. So we'll do a little run around first. Okay. Oh, yes, and now, so they're running around, they've switched. So now our first person is going to walk past our judges. She's walking past.

They're whiffing, they're getting her whiffing. She's saying she. This is producing her Zam, everybody. Okay, let's fix it up all the time. All right. One time. Okay, we're doing the Arvopolo Challenge. Our two hosts are now mixing themselves up.

The first host is now going to walk past our judges who are going to sniff. They're getting a whiff of host number one. As we figure out the Arvopolo challenge today, our second host is now walking past the judges. getting a bit of a whiff of the host, soaking it up, breathing it all in. Perfect. Okay, now the hosts are just mixing themselves up again.

They're going to jump back on their mic so that producer nurse Sam can get behind her desk. Okay, okay, okay, okay, we're back. Okay, the jury snuffed. Fantastic narration commentary. Producer Nurse Sam, well done. So, jury, intern Lil Lil, Josh and Cal from Edge Nights. one at a time, please name for us

or host one or host two, who smelt best? All right, so I think the first one needs to get some of your washing powder because I think the second one had great washing powder scent. Okay, interesting. I disagree. I thought host one was a clear winner.

That smelled the best. Wow. Okay, so it all lies on you. Cal from Edge Nights. You know, I'll do, I think, it was host I don't know I'm going to

firstly I will say both smelt delicious but in terms of my favourite if I was to have that person lie down with me and I could like enjoy that smell at all times especially at night I'm going to go host

one yes thank you thank you thank you Carol thank you Josh Lily get out I was hosted I knew it was Harrison

So that's why You actually smell really good though, Steph. I don't believe you. No, yeah. It's no better. It's no better on the end. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

This part of the show on a Friday, we let you pick the playlist where we pitch to you our ideas for what song we want to have the nation drive home to. And we let one listener who's calling through on 0800 The Edge decide. Now let's go To the Tron To you, Jacko Suh How did you know?

Just guest Just guest your name's Jacko, bro Am I right? How are you? Yeah, we're good, mate All right Jacko The theme for Choo Choon this Friday Is The Warriors are playing this weekend

Oh, yeah, it'll be that. Will it be that? It'll be dolphins. We're going to take your word for it, Jacko. Anyway, point is, doesn't matter who they're playing. The point is, the theme is what is the best pump-up song to get the Warriors ready to play. They're in the changing rooms.

Hi everybody, my name's Steph And I have been on a bit of a journey this year, 2025 glow up Looking great, don't need to Thank you, well trained Now I've been eating really well this week And this isn't just a point in the show Where I just want to brag about that I was left devastated last night

Because here I am on a Thursday night Being like, look what I've done I've eaten so healthy Because normally honestly I'm the biggest binge eater and it's really bad. And then my partner is like, there's some chocolate in the pantry. And I'm like, what are you doing to me?

Why are you doing this? And he's listening right now. He's just picked up our son Rocco from daycare. And I do love you very much. But please stop buying chocolate. Does he like it? Well, he's a type of person that can have two squares and stop. And I'm like, how do you stop after two squares?

I eat an entire block. Last night I had my two little cheeky squares with him and I was like, I have to keep going. I ate half a block last night until I like physically. I was literally hunched over my kitchen bench scoffing it. Wow. It's a real problem. It is.

And you know what? You don't smoke. You don't vape. You don't really drink. I think that everyone needs their vice and everyone's addicted to something like that. True. You're just chocolate. It is so chocolate.

I know what you mean. When I was a teenager, I was addicted to it. Same thing, I'd finish a block every night. I'd come home and go buy a block and finish it every night. I was like, fully addicted to chocolate. One time I went to a gym class, I was like, oh, I'll eat half a block first, and then I went to, like, pump at Les Mills or something, and then I came back and finished the other half.

Like, it's so stupid. Yeah, and, like, you've been really strong here and proud of you. Thank you. Thank you. We're going to vending machine, and you'd get two Whitaker's penthouse slabs every day. Just one, just one, just one? Just one? Yeah, yeah.

You haven't told your partner, Jake, about the two? No, no, no, no. Okay, he is listening right now. He is listening right now. He is listening. Okay, just the one there. Wink. But you've done what you've done in ages. And the most annoying part of all of this, and listeners out, please tell me you've tried this. And there's a Whitaker's new flavor out called Banana Caramel. Oh, I've seen this online. It is like, if you've ever had, like, Puky Nana, the Cadbury Chocolate Bar, it is like that on steroids. Like, it is like the bougie version of banana caramel of Puky Nana. And it is the most insane flavor. And it's buggy me because I come and talk about it. about it every day.

No, yeah, I can't. I can't start. I've had three blocks this week from Whitakers. Really? Three blocks. And like I go like Steph... That would cost you like 50 bucks. I know, but I'm not an addict.

You're an addict. I'm an addict. And I'm like, you need to try that. It's a buggy me that you haven't tried it before. I've avoided it. I've seen it at the supermarket. You know how it's sold out all the time? It was sold out.

And then I literally saw them restocking. You didn't bring it in. Huh? You didn't. You haven't done that to me. What are you doing? Oh, this? You've put it in.

A banana caramel. Support. This is bad timing. How are you eating that in front of me? Oh my God. This is really good. Guys. Sorry, I know it's a bad segment.

I haven't had lunch today. But I don't think you should have that. Just because you're addicted to it. I don't know what to do. But I noticed that if you're addicted to things, the best thing to do, shove it in their face. But can you actually, I'll give you one chance. Just try.

People are testing in how good it is. It is genuinely the best wheelie-a-ch chocolate. This is the most unsupportive a friend has ever. I've got two pieces. Have it. I'm not having it. Just have it. I'm not having it. I'm not having it. Everyone loves it. It's the best wedding trolley ever. Give it to me. Have it. Give it to me. Have a little bit. Oh, my God.

Well, Steph, don't leave you doing this to me. Oh God. Don't eat the paper. Oh, God. Steph. How good is that? This is the best one of my life. Your Avos, hit harder. With Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We are on a journey.

Bless you. Thank you. Child. Gave me a fright The music. Do you sneeze when you You get scared? Yeah.

You learn something new about Harrison every day. And this journey is a mascot. Yeah. It's the one thing, one of the things, that's lacking from this radio show. It is. And it came from an idea that our show, when we started the show,

and we met each other, we started the show this year, one of our things was how we make the show different. How are we the show that's always on? We're always out there. What's different that other stations aren't doing? other stations don't have mascots. Yeah, and you might be thinking, why do you need a mascot?

Which is, to be honest, a question that I did ask Harrison when he came to us with the idea. Yes. But the answer to that is, well, why not? Thank you. You know what? I'm glad you're understanding it. It brings joy. It brings joy.

And because we travel around New Zealand a lot and do things and we've got a few more travel things coming up this year, like all around the country. So we want to have a mascot with us. How fun is that going to be? Yeah, we've started the journey this week and we have been inviting you to get in touch, 3343 by texting that number with any creative mascot ideas you might have. Yeah. Now, we are opening up our text line one last time. Hence the dramatic music.

That's why. Yeah. Yeah, we, in the next five minutes, us here at the edge of the office, us host everybody, we're going to make a top three finalists list. Currently, there's some really good ideas, but we need more. Yep.

If you have a wonderful idea for a show mascot that could represent the edge avos perfectly, then please text in to 3343. We've had hundreds of votes. We've got about a top five. We need to drop two within the next break

and we want you to have one last opportunity to send in your idea. You got one last opportunity. You could completely knock the three that we have now and put other people in. Your Arvos hit harder. With Sean. Steph and Harrison

The Edge Arguably bigger stakes are at hand right now Steph. We are finding our official E.H.Avo's mascot. The last week we've been in the hunt

from you guys sending in your amazing votes because this is the people's mascot. You guys choose exactly what we want and we are about to announce our three finalists. Now we did just ask you

for any last minute entries because God we've been on such a journey this week and everyone who has contributed their suggestions has been brilliant, honestly, super creative. But the ones that have just come through, like Danielle, literally a second ago,

what about a peach with a sassy face wearing DJ headphones? Yes, that's good, like the sassiness. That's good, too. What about another one from Danny? A microphone with a funny facial expression. Yeah, the edge anaconda. Love. Oh, this is good.

The Edge Arvo's bulldog, Carlo, an English bulldog. He could have the white gloves and gougly eyes. That's cool. See, these are good. Okay, Miranda, I love this. I think a little grey mouse wearing headphones. Ironic because you guys are the opposite of a quiet little mouse. But think it'll be super cute or decked out with a cap and an edge logo on it.

That's good. And my favourite one from Annabelle and Ed Shearron look alike because you guys are obsessed with them. We are today, actually. We are very much today. Yep. Okay, well, thank you for the last minute entries. Every single suggestion has been put to us. To us.

We were actually in the border room. them today. We were. We're just, they've been sitting up there right now with our final say just communicated.

Yeah, all the suits and ties. Honestly, it's a board of 20 guys and girls up there. Massive. It's pretty insane.

Yeah. How are we going to read these out? I'm excited to read this out. You do it. You do it. Me read this out? Yeah, you do it.

Okay, guys. Oh my gosh. Our three finalists for the EJavas mascot. First finalist, the edge wedge. That's a potato wedge.

That's pretty much it. I love that. It's really good. The second final, I'll go... Sorry, I just want to... Do you think there's like sour cream or sweet chili sauce involved? Because it's like a potato wedge, right? Yeah.

You'd order from the pub. Yeah, I think that's like sour cream eyes, sweet chili mouth. Because, I mean, it's open to interpretation. We're not imagining a lemon wedge, are we? No. Potato wedge. And then over the next couple weeks, you're going to really crack down exactly how that looks from your listeners. Does it have Googly eyes?

I think it's going to have to have a googly eyes. Okay, so option one for our edge mascot, the edge wedge. Sounds good. What's option too? Second option, the edgehog. So it's a hedgehog. So cute. That's really cute.

Oh, that's so cute. It's a cute idea. I love the hedgehog. It's less unique, but I like it. I love it, actually, because I kind of, it would be quite a traditional looking mascot, I think. Yeah. Maybe you can do, like, you know, like teenage mutant turtles with the, what's that called? The band dandah over the eyes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe over the edge. It'll be so cute. And our final, what do you call it? A finalist. A finalist. Well, third option. Sorry, yeah. Is the edge hedge.

Just a green hedge. These are good. Oh my God. The edge wedge, the edge hog and the edge hedge. What is the edge? So is it just someone who has kind of just looks like a walking, talking bush? I'm thinking a green cut bush. Yeah.

Or a gilly suit. Oh, yeah. Something like that. That'd be quite easy to do. So it's pretty fun. So you can text on in 13343 what one you want to win. And also, I'm going to press share. But do you.

Sorry to punish you. But it's a fun way for us and for the listeners. I think for us and everyone not playing along, it's going to be a lot of fun to listen to. If you're a contestant, mortifying. Yeah. So we're just going to ask who you are. You're probably going to say, I'm Ed Sharon.

Yep. Pretty much like that. And then we're just going to ask you a question or two, and that's all we need. But you've got to stay in character. You've got to be Ed Sharon. And we're going to vote for who's the best Ed Sheron. impersonate it and you'll win the tickets.

Okay, contestant number one in Christchurch is Bella, or actually, what's your name, sorry? Hi, my name's Ed. Oh, Ed, sorry I got it wrong. Ed, what's your favourite thing about New Zealand, man?

Oh, I love the chocolate. Good, good, good, good. What are you looking forward to about the tour, Ed, and bring in your songs to your Al-Tero audience? I'm looking forward to jamming out with the whole audience. But Geordie there, Ed. Okay, cool.

Thank you, Ed. Thank you. All right. Who have we got? It's not Leanne, is it? No, no, I'm getting your name wrong again. What's your name, sorry? Leanne.

It is Leanne. Ed Shearing. Dingo. Wait, and who we're talking to Ed right now? Yeah, Ed Shearing. Oh, yeah. Ed, this is an impression competition, by the way. Just want to make that clear.

Sharon. What is your favourite song from the new album, man? Probably Sapphire. Oh, yeah. Whereabouts from London? I'm sorry, from England. Do you from Ed? Yeah, a bit all over. Bit all over? Yeah.

Cool. Now tell me, Ed, what's it like travelling with the fam? I know your wife and your two kids are on the road with you. It must be quality time. Yeah, but yeah, it's very, it's very, It's good to see the world. Nice and family and the two kids.

Man, that I actually... Give me goosebumps the fact that we're talking to each year right now. That is like, that is insane. Okay, just to clarify the brief. The person that can put on an Ed Shearing voice is what we're looking for, an Ed Shearing impression. Yeah. Yep, so thank you for that one.

So let's go to Millie here. Was it Millie? or am I getting your name wrong, sorry? Hi, who's this? In the recording studio at the moment, is this important? Oh, this is pretty important here this conversation with us. We're just from the Edge radio station over here. What's your favourite radio station to listen to over in the UK?

Yeah, look, we don't have anything that comes nearly close to the Ed, but, you know, when I can, when I'm in the area, I love to log into the Rover app and have a wee listen. Great app. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you. Thank you for answering that.

Now, we have a real lack of English accent. Can we do one more just to really mail the accent? I honestly think we're going to have to. Okay. Hello, is this Ed Sharon or is this Chenet? It must be Ed Sharon. It's Ed Sharon. Ah, I thought so. Here we go.

Ed. Are you excited to come to this country, bro? So excited to come to the country. Oh, what's a fond memory? You're excited to see me. We are. I've got a bit of a cold at the moment. I'm excited to see you.

What's a fond memory? You've been a few times, Ed Shearan. What's your fondest memory? You know, it's going to be really, really good to meet some more of my family members. We've had a child in the family in New Zealand, and it's going to be really cool to see them in Christchurch when I get to come and play. All right. Thanks very much.

Okay. All right. tougher than I thought. You know what's crazy? The New Zealand language, quite different to the English one, I think. So quite hard to know that impression. So we had four Ed Shearing impressions.

Now, Steve, we had one Ed Sherer impression. Do we just award it to Ed Sherer number one because she was the only one that did the exit? Yeah, I think so. Bella, congratulations. You're going to Ed Sherer. Well done to all the Eds. Well done, Eds. Quite Kiwi though. Quite a...

Very Kiwi. I know he said that your name is E-Cherom, but he served to talk like him. Now one more time, Bella, let's hear your best edge. You're an impression. Hi, this is Ed Sharon. And that one who took it? That one. Hey, guys, anything's possible. That one? How good. Shot Bella. Harrison. Steve.

You need a bit of our help sometimes, don't you, with certain social situations? Yeah, I do. I just, I'm always learning. Yep. Just a young fella. There's a lot of experiences in my life that I haven't quite figured out how to act in yet. Yeah, so you can share with everybody listening and what you're going through and what situation.

And we'll decide whether it's inappropriate and no, you should stop doing it or, yeah, it's totally fine. Okay, thank you. Well, today's thing is that I'm going on a bit of a roadie this weekend. Oh, where are you going? I just Hamilton for the day. Oh, fun. How's that?

Go to the gardens, love. Okay, I'll go to the gardens. But I want to do things that I need to do on a roadie. Okay, okay. Well, things I do in a roadie. I always do these things. Yeah. I just want you to see, because I do this with a bunch of friends.

Okay. That I don't really know very well. Then why are you going with it? Well, that's because we could become better friends. Okay. new. Okay. So I just want you to see if this behaviour is going to be appropriate.

Okay. Okay. Sure. First one, yes, no, maybe. Dutch up in the car. Nah, I wouldn't do that. I mean, I reckon you could probably do that because it's funny with, like, best friends, but not new friends who are trying to impress.

My idea was that it's, you know, because we're going to get up at 3.30 for this trip, because we've got to be there by, like, seven or something. To wake everybody up, it's going to Dutch over in the car and just... Nah. Start the trip off with a laugh? No. Nah? Nah.

Maybe. Oh, just wait for you and have a coffee first. Okay, don't want to shut the car. Yeah, alright, maybe. No. It's pretty, okay, just, oh no, sweet. What a dear? Okay, ask every kilometre.

Are we there yet? Yep. That's all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to keep these friends, eh? Yeah, well, obviously. Okay. These are fun things.

I don't really cut road trip much. That could be actually quite funny. Yeah. I've only ever road trip my parents. This is why it's quite different. Okay. Yeah, you could do that. It's not a big deal.

I think it's fine. It'll be a little bit annoying, but it's okay. Yeah. If I'm sitting behind the driver, lean up to their ear, into a really loud siren noise. No. Because that keeps them on, you know, keeps them on lock. They're like, what's happening?

Is there police around? What would it sound like? Woo! Nah. And it'll keep them awake. Nah, because he might distract them. I'm going to say yes, because Dad just would like that. Okay.

In the passenger seat, hopefully, if I am. If I'm in the passenger seat, pull the handbrake and see how far the car skids. Nah. That's a bit of a laugh. Please don't touch that. That's just a bit extreme, but that'll be funny. We don't. Really?

Yeah. Okay. Three more. This is it. Shoulder massage the driver from behind them. With consent, yeah. If they're feeling a little bit tight, sometimes my knee's a bit sore driving. Okay.

You want to come drive behind me? Um, no, sorry, see, we're going to move into the next one, ring at a time. Next one, play I spy, but don't have an answer in mind. That's pretty good. How am I never thought of doing that? Just get that going forever. Forever and ever. Yes, do that.

I think that's funny. That, all right. I want to stop it then. That's all I need to know. Thank you. Wait, eyes fly with my little eye. Let's play in the studio, okay? For hours.

For hours. We never leaving. Your Arvos, Head Harder, with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Oh, hi everybody. Welcome to the little bonus, little content at the end of the podcast. producer nurse sam just walked in hi sam what are you going to ask us hi i just wanted to um ask you guys

I know where it's going as yuck not the wheeze bit it wasn't a poos or anything so anyway so I finished and off stood up and then I've like turned around to flash and then I as I'm turning and I'm pressing the button I think, it must have been with my left hand. I'm wiping the top of the toilet paper holder where I placed my swipe card.

Yeah. I'm yanking it off somehow. I'm like during the flush, it falls in and it's going around and around with my wheeze in the toilet paper. And I'm like, well, thank God it wasn't the time of the month. Honestly, that would have been revolting. But it was going down. And I'm like, oh my God, I'm about to flush my swipe card down here. I was like literally it's been, I've lost it a thousand times, but I've always managed to find it again. been through so much together and this was goodbye.

I was like watching it go down. I was like, bye, thank you for all the memories. And then the flush ends and it's still just at the bottom there of the toilet bowl. Where is it? Currently. Yes. No. Yuck!

You're holding in your fucking hand. It's me in my pocket. I fished it out. Was your hand? Yeah. Good. Because he'd flushed it. So it was like, she sent a video in the group chat.

It was hilarious. Public toilet water. Yeah, but it was like it had. been flush so like yeah it's not that man and then so I wiped I like I wrapped it in toilet paper as I exited the cubicle and then I washed it with soap in the in the basin and then I washed my hands then I rewashed my hands a second time just I would have loved if it did get flush a little bit and it clogged up the toilet water's coming out and then they're like the plumber comes like who did this and you pull out the card and now like that ID cards are like a passport
