The Edge. $10,000 up for grabs right now. The H, E, Z, money. It is, as the name suggests, the easiest way to win $10,000. We'll give you a letter between E and Z. We'll have 30 seconds. Steph will ask you 10 questions.

Just answer with a word that starts with that letter. That fits the question. Ooh, $10,000 is up for grabs if you're successful. but an automatic $100. Thanks to BNZ for you, Vanessa, from Invercoraville. Oh, thank you. That's awesome.

Of course, yeah, big ups, BNZ. Wherever you start from, BNZ, has the expert advice and tools that you need it every step of the journey. Vanessa, 10 grand, what would you do with it? You're an incredible person, you're a nurse, and God you guys deserve more money. Thanks.

What would you spoil yourself? Oh, I'm pretty boring and sensible. I've got a door that needs braces at the moment, so something on that it may be a wee trip away. Fat bastard? Excuse me? Are you there? Excuse me?

Fat bar. It's the pie shop. She's from her cargles of the pies. Oh, fat bass with pies. Yeah, that's every Friday lunchtime. Oh, there we go. You can spend money on that. You were being rude from a minute.

Oh, God, no, no, no, no. Sorry, but isn't. And again, kids listening, Uncle Harrison, that's your one bad word for today. Yeah, that is my bad word for the day. There's a pie shop. It's very iconic. Right, Vanessa, it's great.

Every Friday, she said. Every Friday at lunchtime, yep. And Harrison always tells me off for saying that I reckon the seafood chowder pie there is the best. Would you have you, have you tried that one? I have, but it's kind of a top-up between that one and the farmhouse chicken. Farmhouse chicken, pretty good. Yeah, pretty much. Creamy.

What's creamier than a seafood chowder? I'd say that's the creamiest. So vomit. It's a chowder. Okay, Vanessa, 30 seconds. Your letter will be I. I for, I'm a go to fat. bastard pies next time I'm in Invercargall.

We could just be I for Imbecagel. I for Information Centre which you could find in Invercagel. True. Okay Vanessa, 30 seconds. Your letter is I. We need 10 answers. You can't repeat any answers. You can pass on any

tricky ones and hopefully we'll have time to get back to it and your time will begin when I finish saying the first one. Are you ready? Thanks so. Vanessa. An incredible... That starts with nurse from Invercargo for $10,000 with the letter I please name for us

something you'd buy in summer Ice A country Island A name Irene A band A five-letter word

A puff A movie franchise A bakery item A bakery cake A drink Um Oh, my God. That was really hard.

Five little word got me. I still can't think of him. No, me either. Yeah. Five little of a word, you could have said, image, ideal, index. But you're on a roll of a nest. You're going to roll with the top three. Three out for three, and then you do roll with the three passes as well.

You also, you're so Mr. Band. He said, Imagine Dragons, Iron Maiden. Oh, yeah, that's true. And a movie franchise, Indiana Jones, Ice Age, Iron Man. Oh, Iron Man. Oh, of course. The first three had a lot of hope for you, Vanessa. Hey, you're still in a hundred dollars, thanks a centred, so there you go, Vanessa.

Thanks guys. It's 10 fat bastards. Wow. Pies. That's a pie. Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Yesterday on the show, we were talking about whether you went into a toilet to fish things out or not.

After Steph dropped her work swipe card into a toilet. Yeah, mid-flush. So, you know, a little combo there. of ways and fresh water. But you're also one of those people when you've said this as you're a bit of an addict for it. It's like the fishing out of the toilet

is like another person's tip shop. You know, you go and see what you can find. You just kind of scoop your hand in there around lunchtime I've noticed and you go, oh, guys, guess what I found today? Another Tammy or whatever it is. What are you talking about? And then we got into the intricacies

of what you would fish out of a toilet. I think we settled on, you said no food. Harrison and I said if it's glad rat protected and sealed well. So I dropped my lunch a lot and I will be fishing that out every day. revolting. Yes, and that's when Briley called in and she revealed that she also unfortunately had dropped something in the loo before and fished it out.

But what was quite shocking is how short of a time she owned this for. I've dropped my phone in a port-a-loose. What phone was it? Brand new. I got it that day for my birthday. I had only used it for like not even half an hour and dropped it in the porta-loo. I had the light on and I went straight. and got it. Oh, Riley!

Amazing work, Briley. Love that for you. Brand new iPhone. You know those go for like $5,000 nowadays? Yeah, I heard it was doubled out. I thought it was about 10 grand. It's like a house deposit or the new iPhone. It's crazy.

And on her birthday too, birthday present. Brand new phone and a port-a-loo. I mean, it was heartbreaking stuff to listen to. But we thought we would put it out there. Call in on 0800 the edge or text to 33-443. What was the shortest amount of time that you owned something before completely wrecking it?

Yeah. I've got a little one from the other day is when I got like the new Superman movies out and I wanted an action figure of it. Oh, that's right. I got it online and I brought it. So you bought a doll from the internet.

You really shouldn't be allowed expendable income, Harrison. I know, so I got an action figure. So you bought a doll from the internet. I wouldn't call it a doll. Is that to match the eight soft toys that are on your bed? They're dolls.

This is more of an action figure. Okay, so a ninth doll. Yeah. But I think. thought the hands were detachable, so I snapped one off and it snapped the hand off. Why would you think Superman's hands are detachable? Because there were, I thought there were, because sometimes those toys come with other hands, like a fist or an open palm so you can change the action.

See, I've played fashion polly in years, so I wouldn't know. Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. What's the shortest amount of time you owned something nice before you just ruined it yourself? Oh, we have to read this text first. Three, three, four, three's our number. Victoria, I got a new reconstructed jaw after a tumour removal,

had four plates put in and a bone graft. After surgery, I fainted and smashed my chin on a walker. I broke two of the new plates in my chin and I had to go back the following day into surgery to fix it. Oh, God. What did you have to do in the situation?

What calm was coming back to you? Because that's insane. That's so crazy. Another text. My lamp didn't last for long. I got annoyed and then I threw it over the fence. Been there. It's more self-inflicted, kind of when did something break straight away, I'd say. Oh, yeah, he broke yourself.

You've been there. You've threw a lamp over a fence. Constantly. Mark this morning brought a coffee and lifted it up by the cup. And it went everywhere in the barista wasn't happy. Did you get a free coffee in that situation? Sorry, the barista wasn't happy. How was Mark going? I'm not happy about that, Mark. Well, I mean, if you got another coffee out of it, then Mark's ecstatic.

They might have had to clean it up. I don't know where the coffee ended up, Mark. All right, let's go to the phone. So we want to know how long did you own something before you busted it. Rebecca from Christchurch, what was it for you? And can you see your radio down? Thank you. Oh, sorry.

No proud. The day of the Christchurch earthquakes, my brother had purchased a new bed and it had just got delivered and then the earthquakes hit and we got 50 tons of liquefaction in our backyard and at the time he was living in the sleep out. Oh, my God. That is so much more serious than I expected. Did it float?

Did it float on top of everything, or no, did it get submerged? He got submerged. The electrification at the time was like went up right up to the windowsills, so he didn't even get a chance of sleep in it. Could you get a refund or was that place bugged as well? I mean, the insurance covered it, so. I'm trying to find a silver lining here. Oh, it was just a queen.

It's not like it was a super king, eh? It was a queen. Yeah, yeah. Oh, no. That's like, my brother bought a new bed, and then we lost all of our belongings to a natural disaster. Yeah, yeah. That's horrible.

Rebecca, thanks for your message. Zara from Toranga, one of our faves, what did you buy and then it busted straight away? Oh, you can't put me after that. Yeah, true. True, but we can try. What was it? So I bought a woe stone at a farmer's market,

and I had it on my lap. on the drive home and then I opened the car door and stood up and it fell on the ground and broken half. What was that a worry stone? What's there? Yeah, it's just like a crystal that's supposed to help release stress and stuff like that. Clearly it did its job. Oh, yeah, maybe. That was the universe being like Zara? You don't need it. Or was it? Or did you smash your worry zone stone and then suddenly you were

pretty worried? Apparently it's supposed to break once it's like done its job and like has taken it. in as much like stress as it can and then it like free. Exactly. Oh, you're too stressed, Zara. You don't need it anymore after that morning.

There you go. Thanks, Zara. And Emmy from Christchurch, what did you own and how long for before it broke? So back in the old days I bought a bomb after work and I got back home

and I was like, what is the steel about this? I don't know if we could be on. Next on the edge of us. Did she say what I think she said? Yeah. Okay. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. The People's Mascots. We are on a journey to create a radio show mascot. Sorry, you're on a journey because it's the mascot of the people. Yes, the people's mascot. You guys got to devote your ideas and give our suggestions. I'll give your own suggestions and we're going to pick what is going to be the mascots for the Ajavos. It's between the Edge Wedge, which is Harrison's mascot.

The Edge Hedge, which is my mascot. And obviously the best of the bunch, the greatest idea of them all, the Edge Hodge, which is a cute little hedgehog. And I'm imagining sky blue, cute little spikes on the back. It's the best idea. And you know what? I'm not even going to be the one that convinces the people listening to go and vote for the Hedgehog today. Instead, since it is the people's mascot,

one of my favorite people, one of my favorite listeners, a big fan of the Hedgehog is Jennifer. Welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. Jen, you tell the people, you tell Otero, the mic is yours, why people should go and vote for the hedgehog. Well, not only is the edgehog going to be the cutest mascot, but I've got some amazing facts. Even Sean would love these facts. So here we go.

Here we go. Five star facts, you're going to love this, Sean. Okay, ready? Hedgehogs are actually lactose intolerance. Oh. Cute. That's a cute fact. It's pretty cute.

It is pretty cute. is called an array. Oh, good fact. You're going to love this one. This is my favorite. Hedgehogs are almost completely blind and get around by using their hearing. Like our listeners at the edge,

we all love to hear you in the afternoon. It's perfect to have the edgehog. Great facts, Jen. That is actually so encompassing of this medium that is radio, isn't it? I love it. Oh, Jen, fantastic homework from you. And in 10 seconds,

Why should someone listening to you right now, Jen, jump on Instagram on Edge Arvos and go and vote for the hedgehog? Edgehog. What is so good about it? What is so good about it? It is the cutest little animal that can be the cutest little mascot. And to be fair, guys, the other ones are just pretty meh. Whoa. Okay, Jen, don't come for the head, like, Jen.

A bit confident. Well, see. It's a bit sexist. Thank you, Jen. Have a good afternoon, guys. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph. Anne Harrison. The Edge.

Sean's five-star fact. If you're new to this, this is a bit of a journey I'm on. On a few journeys here on the Ajavo's, this one, to provide you with a fact that's so damn good that it receives an impeccable five-star rating. Okay. Like a great Uber ride. Let's hear it.

So we're your judges. We're looking for a good, performed fact. Yes. A fact that's original. And shareable. Yeah. Okay, so good luck. Good luck, man.

Do you know how many facts you know how many facts are in now? It's been a long journey. It's January. It was January. It's January. Oh man. Okay, we've got to be close to this, eh? I say you learn more from your failures than your successes.

How have we not? I kind of say Judge, Steph and Judge News, how have we not given him a five star yet? We've given him fives on different occasions, but you're looking for the trifectar, aren't you? Four of three of you. You did give me a five once when I got Tammy the Briscoe's lady in, but then you said that wasn't me, even though I orchestrated.

I just had three different producers give you different effects. That's how long it's been to give you. Giving you scores since you've actually given the five-star things. Oh yeah, we've rolled over the producer three times. Yeah. Okay, well today's fact I gave you a pick a path. I said you can pick between a dolphin fact

or a fact about children. And we picked children. You've picked a children fact. So today's five-star fact is children can't legally own anything until they're 16. Therefore, if you give your child something, you technically can't

until they're 16. They don't own anything. It's all yours. It's all yours. It's a great fact, isn't it? I mean, it's common sense, I would say. It's common sense. And I would say, I recently heard this fair. I read it, and the first thing I thought was... It's common sense. It's common sense. The 16 of the kids, aren't you? I feel like a 15-year-old could own something, because they can buy stuff.

If you're 15, you've got a job. You can buy something. If you're 15, I was out working at Pack and Save. I bought my first phone. Technically, I did not own that phone. Wow, okay. Okay, yeah. because I was thinking children, but like teenagers, yeah, yeah, true, true. Don't own anything until your 16. Yeah, got Val. Slightly more interesting, I guess.

Producer Nurse Sam, initial thoughts. Initial thoughts is I have a 14-year-old who buys her own stuff that I can now claim. You own it, Sam? I own a lot more than I thought I did. Your wardrobe just doubled. Yes. This is good. But it kind of is common sense because of like legal ages and just, you know,

responsibility and stuff so not maybe a three shareability yeah and it's kind of like you sound like a what do you call it like a narc if you told someone hey guess what do you know you actually own everything that you can't own it's like that attitude and it's like oh and if you had it could you

be like that's mine that's mine yeah yeah it's a bit nakey it's not even yours not even yours nah I'm gonna lock in a two and I'm gonna go I'll meet you in the middle two and a half okay what was a dolphin factor Just out of curiosity.

No, we have to say the dolphin fact, because the dolphin fact is incredible. I bet. Tomorrow, tomorrow. It is. Tomorrow. Your Arvo's head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. The People's Mascot. A mascot of the people. You decide it. We've whittled it down to the top three. Will it be the Edge Hedge? Will it be the Edge Wedge? Or will it be the Edge Hodge?

You can vote on Edge Arvo's Instagram. But right now we're waiting for a call to come through. Producer Nurse Sam's teed this up. Yeah, a mystery mascot apparently is who we're going to talk to for some tips and advice and stuff like that. Apparently we'd all know who it is. You're hoping for someone, Harrison? I was thinking, Camilla, the Gorilla,

because apparently they're an iconic New Zealand mascot. I want to talk to the Warriors mascot. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. They're here. Okay, so we got told there was going to be a mascot on the phone. Come in. And now there's a gingerbread band.

Mascoats joining us in studio. Hello. The microphone. It's a big, a big walking gingerbread man with green eyes. Hello, wow. And buttons. Wow!

Come on up to the microphone. Very consensual, gingerbread man, that's okay. The gingerbreadman was me from Harrison. That's good because I'm got gingerbread. Oh, geez, I was thinking of something dodgy happened now. Okay, gingerbread man. What are you the mascot for? Stop trying to do a DJ, Sam.

Oh, God. Please leave it. It's very expensive. Just a new. Sam, you said this is one of the most iconic. Like, New Zealand mascots. I'm not going to lie, I don't know who this is. I was the mascot for the muffin man.

From Shrek. Oh, for the Shrek. Yes. Are you a mascot or are you just a costumed person? I'm a mascot and I want to be a mascot for the Edge Harvows. The Al show mascot. Interesting. Oh God, he's destroying the studio.

He's tearing things apart. Hey, Ginger Red Man. Oh, God. Will you start hitting Steph with a pillow? This is off the rails. This is not what I thought. our first mascot interview would be. The last job I was the mascot for the upper head rams.

But I got fired. Okay, well, thank you for your interest in the position. We do have three mascots that we've already whittled it down to. A edge hedge, an edge wedge and the edge hog. The edge gingerbread man doesn't really go off the tongue. Yes, sorry, there are finalists. I'll do anything, I'll do anything. What about your top?

Pick the gingerbread man, the edge wedge, the edge hedge or the hedge hog. The gingerbread man. No. It's not you. You're going to put one of them because you're not the finalist. Someone's going to have to call security. I challenge security to a joust.

Okay. Hey, hey, gingerbread mascot, man, who's now climbing on a chair. Oh, yeah. I'm not, well, I'm not security. I'm not security. He's up and on a chair and jousting here, is it? Okay.

I'm going to clue myself to the studio. I'll never leave. Okay. I love it. I think I know who's. in this as well. I definitely know who's in this instantly. Take it off.

Take it off. Take it off. Take it off. Okay. He's leaving. Okay. Buy gingerbread man mascot for a company that, I mean, I don't really. He's really stuck to mascot law.

Did not take the head off. I think after all that, that's a lesson we've learned. You never take the head off. Never take the head off again. So I want to get the gingerbread man a glass of water. Definitely escorted him off the premises. Wow. Yeah, it's pretty bad.

What just happened? Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Is this not the cutest story of her today? Have you guys seen videos on TikTok and stuff of dog surfing? Oh, very cute. Oh, I've seen like dogs paddleboarding, I think, but never surfing. Like a proper wave?

Yeah, like you're the owners on there as well, and they put their dog on the front of the surfboard. Yeah, it emphasizes the owners on the board, right? Yeah. Not as a dog surfing. Yeah, because if that happens, it's probably AI. Or Scooby-Doo. Oh yes No Scooby-Do's favourite pastime

And in amongst the solving murder mysteries Is surfing? Surfing. Yeah. He loves getting pitted. Oh, is that surfing term? Surf term. Shaka.

Burled. Yeah, it's another one. Shaka. Kababanga. Yeah, nailed it. So there's a surfing competition for dogs that I came across. It happened this weekend in San Francisco.

Woof. Now, dogs would compete against similar sized dogs, so they've got different brackets. There's like the big dogs, the medium dogs and the little dogs. And it is like their owners are out there with them, swimming, and they're holding the surfboards,

and the dog is up there on a little life jacket. And they push the dog onto the waves, and then the dog surf in by themselves. It is so cute. So the one that took out the main prize was a French bulldog called Isa. See, I don't, when I picture a surfing dog, I'm picturing your terriers, your retrievers, that kind of thing. Like your water dogs.

I'm not picturing a French bulldog. It would drown. It can hardly breathe. He's got goggles and a life jacket. What? Oh my God, it's adorable. So cute! You can't judge your dog by its cover.

My point with this is, if you had a dog that could surf, and your dog won the surfing championship, I don't think anyone would believe you. Like, if you're sitting next to someone on a plane, like, what do you do? You're like, I train my dog who's a surfer, and he just won the competition because he just surfed a half pipe 50 metres.

You'd be like, no, he didn't. Yeah, he wouldn't buy it. But it's legit. It happened. Oh, 800 the edge. I want to open the phones up. Or 3343, Texas, and say, do you have an animal

that does something that we wouldn't believe? I have heard of a dog that was living in a house and then it like kind of sprinted away and jumped literally over the fence to the next-door neighbor's house and started barking heaps, like non-stop? And then the owners of the dog were like,

oh my God, that's our dog. Sounds like our dog went to checking it on it and then went next door. It's barking at someone that's in trouble in the swimming pool at the house. Like the person was drowning. their dog sensed it,

maybe heard the person call out and splash and stuff, and then jumped the fence to alert everyone that they were in trouble. A life-saving dog. Life-saving dog. That's pretty good. Amazing, oh. My dog used to do funny things, but it was way lighter than that. Like, rest and peace hours.

No, he didn't fart and, but he, like, someone would knock on the door who'd be visiting, and would get this like a trick, or it was like a trigger for him. You put a fedora on my dogie outvice, he'd stand up on his high legs. So someone would knock, we'd put a fedora on him. He'd stand on his high and legs, And he'd go and answer the door for the people?

They're like, what the? Did he train him to do that? But you don't like a... And he's like, yeah, it's a dog. But we train him to stand up and answer the door. That is the kind of call that I want. Yeah, it's all I is. Don't believe you.

And that is a lot of time. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We want to know why your pet was so incredible, a story that we won't believe. I think Jimmy's about to blow our minds, everybody. What did your granddad teach a bird to do, Jimmy? He had nothing to do all day because he was retired So he taught this bird how to tell a short story

And it full on did tell the story But it mixed up what the old lady and the old man did Do you want to hear it? Please, and your best canary voice, please The bird used to say Once upon a time there was an old lady and old man And the old man used to go to the river And the clothes

and the old lady used to go into the woods and cut wood. That's a story. That's a short story. That is a short story. But you know what? The old lady, you know, she can cut wood and he can go down to the river. So, you know, the bird maybe didn't get it wrong.

You know, maybe the bird was just ahead of its time. Change the narrative. Exactly. This was a woke bird. A woke bird. A white bird. You know, your granddad, Jimmy, had a... I love that.

A gender progressive canary. That's actually amazing. I thought birds could only be like, well, no, you could teach them to say like one word. Well, I thought he was going to tell us like a joke story, but he just told us the actual story that be it told. A whole story. It's legit. There's so many words left for one bird. Maybe it does have a good ending, but he just got that far into it.

Oh, I can't say. He gave up. Thank you for that, Jimmy. What a legend your granddad was. And Bonnie Teranoid 100 the edge, talk an incredible pet stories we won't believe. What have you got? So I've got a cat that climbs letters. No way.

Well, a letter. No, like a human, like one leg, one leg. Yeah, well, a human with four legs, yeah, yeah. That's pretty good. It's a ladder up to my daughter's top bunk, and he wants to sleep up there. And honestly, there's much easier ways for the cat to get up there, but he's taught himself to climb the ladder. Yeah, surely it can just jump.

That'll be scary to watch a cat. Well, you wake up? But it also goes down the ladder, which is really bizarre because... too lifelike. Surely it can just jump. Does it go down, like, head up or head first? Head first. Head first.

Oh, he first. Doesn't swing the sleds off the bed, turn around, go behind its shoulder and go down. That would be scary. Yeah. It is, like, I thought she was fibbing when she kept saying, Mo's Coco's climbing up the ladder, and I'm like, surely not. And we caught it on video. We actually had dead there.

Yeah, is sleep paralysis demon, but it's just a tabby cat climbing up the, the, the, The ladder next to you on the bottom bike. That is terrifying. Ian joins the show from Auckland. Ian. Hello. Hello. Is it Ian?

Yes, this is. Hello. What can your dog do? Well, when I was like three years old, and I was three years old, when the mailman came by, the dog would, name Kabami, would come

to the front door and would go through the dog door and then he would grab the mail and bring it to us. Oh, he grabs the mail. I taught my dog to do that as well, newspapers. It was good times.

I reckon the canary could have told that quicker. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The People's Mascots. Sorry, I love our new intro Guys, look, people behind the curtain We play all the people if nobody could click on to that

Really? Yeah. Play it again, I don't believe it. The people's mascot Oh yeah, it is a Is that incredible? Look, I put that together in mere minutes, guys, I'm proud of that. I loved it, and today we're all taking a turn

getting a person to represent our mascot and pitch it for us. So Steph's had to go with Yeah, with the lovely Jennifer, who's backing my idea for our show mascot, which is the edge hog. Yeah. Harrison's still to come. Your mascot, the...

Edge wedge. The edge wedge. But right now... The people's mascot. Emphasis on people. We need listeners to back it. It's not our mascot. I can push the edge hedge as much as I possibly want to.

I can say, is it the most feminine one and would it be sexist to choose anything else? Yeah, probably. but that's not my job it's the people's mascot who is more reflective of the people than regional queen and long-time listener of the edge

it's Danielle from Goon Daniel from Goon it's Danielle calling all the way from Goon she's an icon she is an icon she is a national treasure Danny

welcome to the show hello thank you Danielle from Goon is going to pitch to you guys why the edge edge is the number one people's mascot the regional people's mascot Sorry, has Danny been on the show before? Yeah, heaps! Are you joking me?

This show? Oh my gosh. Not this show. Yeah, no, sorry, it's just not to me, Danielle. I don't know, just for the first time you guys have been here. Oh, sorry, Danielle, sorry. It's so fun. It's so fun.

Long-time contributor to my night shows have passed. There we go. Yeah. Okay. So Zara supports this show. That's good. Okay. Thanks, we'll do it, yes. Danielle, the Edge Hedge, explain to the people why they should get around it. Okay, guys, she's feminine and she's fierce, and she's 100% New Zealand made,

just like your favourite Marmard on Toast and the Edge Radio combo. The Edge Hedge isn't just a mascot. She's a whole mood. Wild and tidy, cute and chaotic, bold and not afraid to show it, she's iconic. It's the mascot that always has your back, even if it is a little rough around the edges. Vote for the Eighty. edge that's got more edge than your ex's hair count. Daddy L from Goona.

Amazing pitch. Great pitch. She's got a win. She's just, she's actually iconic. Exactly. And thank you for referring to her as a she, because it is the feminine option. Well, it could be a she, it could be a he, it could be a name,

it could be whatever it wants to be. It's a shrub. I love it. I love you, Daddy. Do we just close voting then? We'll just make it the edge hedge, I think. I reckon the hedge when I want a chicken dinner

Thank you Danielle I don't think there's anything more to dough Don't worry we'll scratch the rest of them That's perfect Danielle Yeah thanks Danny The huge hedge is currently in the lead On Instagram Edge Arvo So

Oh well do you know what I'll get all my friends to keep it going Thank you Danielle from Goan The entirety of Going behind it The Regional option Your Avos head harder With Sean Steph and Harrison

The Edge And tonight If you're watching Love Island on TVNZ and haven't been watching your heads. Yeah, it's very good. Actually, give me an Ian Sterling. Ian Sterling. No.

Is he going to say it? Ian Sterling. Like the way that he says it. What are you going to say? Tonight. Tonight. Is that helping you, Steph? Love Island.

What? Love Island ends tonight, as a lot of people know. And it's going to leave a hole in the hearts of many people. If you do watch the show like Steph and like me, I would say I watch it. Steph really watches this. to a new level. I am, like, so obsessed to a level that's unhealthy. It's all that consumes me when I get home after the show.

I'm watching Love Island. I watch all of the after Suns, which is like the episode after Love Island, that really technically only really is in the UK, but I somehow get to watch it on my laptop. Don't tell anyone. And it's like all the interviews and stuff of all the contestants that get dumped from the island, blah, blah, blah.

And then I'm on YouTube looking of tours of the villa. And I, like, I know what street it's on, like the villa. I just, I'm just, it is, all-consuming and it's one of those things that when you're so deeply invested in any television show, it doesn't need to be Love Island, doesn't need to be a reality show, just any series. Or if you're

not into TV, any book that you might be reading, when you're so invested and it takes up so much of your life and so much of your brain capacity. Don't you dare try and compare how much Love Island you've watched to reading a book? That's an insane parallel to draw. I know what you're saying. And a movie's different, because

a movie you turn it on, you know you're in for it for a two-hour thing and then it's over. Like you go into it knowing it's going to end soon. But with a series, you get so into it. It's devastation when it's over. And it's like, what do I do now? What are I going to, literally what am I going to do with my life?

I feel you. And it's like, he's like, when I watch TV series and I look up with there's no season two. I'm gutted. Totally. I feel the feeling. It feels empty. So what should I do? We're worried about you.

Yeah. Yeah. Because you've invested so much your life into this. So Harrison and I've come up with a few ideas of things that you might be able to do to get your life back on track. how you might feel that gaping void within yourself. Okay. And maybe listeners, if you can relate to this,

maybe things that they can try to. Relates to all listeners who are coming off the back of Love Island is very specific to that. Okay, okay. Because you've got to go cold turkey as well. You can't go, you know, you're not weaned off it. Oh, it's over. Yeah, no, it's done.

First thing I'd say is you, like you've got a 15-month-old son, Rocco. Spend some time with him. He's asleep. That's the thing. Talk. Okay, you're fiancé. Yeah, no. He's there.

You've ignored him for months. Yeah, no, he is there, yeah. Talk to him. Yeah, I guess so. Maybe. Be intimate with each other. Oh, that's a bit far. I've got another one.

Puzzles. Because you really like puzzles. No, I've just given away all my puzzles. You did, you say that you sold like 20. No, I just gave them away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How many have you left just to? A couple.

There's a couple left. Okay. Think about that. Maybe. Maybe. It's been entertaining. I do love a puzzle. You can swap it out for another show that I've been pitching for a while

that you watch Clarkson's farm. Oh, I tried that, Sean. You have tried that? I tried it for 90 seconds, and I was like, I know. Maybe try it. This isn't for me. For 180 seconds. This comes to the back of the Lov Island.

Ultimate Frisbee. Who would I play with? You joined a team. At night time, I have to be at home at nighttime, because, like, Sean said I've got a glow in the dark ones. No, no, I just have to be at home. You're at home. I think you're in a big backyard. Yeah, but.

You could start a small business. No, too much, you fat. You could knit T-coysies. Oh, God. Plants. Invest in some plants. They've done that a long of time. Yeah.

Yeah, okay. But at night time, like, well... You can do that at nighttime as well? Well, just buy plants online. You're not, can I just... You're not even over any of these? It's not really a little bit. It's not very receptive as time, but it's night time.

It says, oh, constantly broken record. Oh, someone's got a great idea that just came through on 3343. Watch the USA one. No, do... Done. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Stand, work!

We do this every win. is they degrees of Stan Walker is the game. 0,800 the edge, a movie passed up for grabs is the prize. Who has the best story about an interaction with Stan Walker? Because I believe firmly that every Kiwi has one. And every week, the phone lines and the text lines get flooded. So I think everyone has a story every time. You've got a kind of incredible story.

Is it incredible? Yeah, you saw him shaving his legs. My uncle saw him at a resort in Toepo shame his legs in the swimming pool of the resort. That's a good one. Such a good one. Well, we have three listeners lined up. So we're going to hear three Samuco Stories and pick our favourite. But can I just do a special mention to a person that texts it in 33443?

I know his neighbour. And one day I was sitting at the kitchen bench at the person that they know, the neighbour, and saw him across the fence planting daffodils. Oh, that's cute. That's such a good. That's nice. It's such a good story. Right, let's go to the phones.

Now, Vanessa, oh no, 800 the edge. Looking for the best Stan Walker story. What you got? I used to play social indoor neckball, and he did too. And one day they played on the court before me, and he came off. And I just said, good game. Good game. That was my interaction.

Did he reply? That's amazing. That's exactly what we're after. Did he say anything back? He said thanks. What an interaction. It's iconic. It was amazing.

Amazing. Oh, I love that. That's so good. Was he any good? Yeah, no, he was. Yeah. It was a good game, truly. Truly was.

Great story, Vanessa. Now let's move on to Adam. Can you beat that one? Adam, what's your best Stan Walker story? Hey, Azeem. So back in 2020, I used to manage a bottle store in Blenham, and at the time Stan Walker was playing this free gig, and picked it on the foreshore,

and must have finished up pretty late, and then did the drive from Blenham to Pick to, sorry, picked him to Blenham, and rocked up to our bottle store, and mom in his fancy Mercedes van, and then bought a whole bunch of liquor for him and his mates, and I was just sitting at home. My mom, he messaged me,

and then I was looking on the cameras, watching, oh, Stan Walker, just chilling at the counter, and then rocking around. So Adam wasn't actually there. He was watching the security cameras from his home. Oh, that is awesome. Because his mate texted up. Wow.

Wow. There's lots of degrees there. I love that. Adam, were you gutted that you actually weren't in store that particular night? Because, I mean, that must have been really gutting. A hundred percent. I was like, oh, man, maybe I should have taken that extra shift instead. But, yeah, no, I was like, oh, right, I'll just look.

And then, sure enough, I thought they were joking initially. And then, yep, he got to be Stan Walker and his mate rocking around. And if you were there, you could have jump into his van and drank Stan Walker's piss. Exactly. I've been like, oh, here's a free case here, buddy. You deserve it. You're a true legend. It's a great story.

Great story. All right. Our final contender for the Best Stan Walker story this week is you. Kristen from Christchurch. What have you got? So he was on an episode of What Now that I went to? And at the end of the show, we got to go up and, like, I guess, go up and talk to him. And I basically explained to him the plot of Twilight.

And he responded with, sounds like a good movie. I might have to see it. Wow. Shut up. There's no point even judging. Kristen, your Y winner today. Really? Oh, really?

No deliberation. She described the plot of Twilight. At Stan Walker. That's insane. It's a crazy thing to do. I love it. It's pretty iconic. Kristen, congratulations.

You are our winner this week. A double pass to... Twilight, New Moon. No. Yeah. The people that brought you... In The Conjuring, a brand new age thriller weapons comes out on the seventh. Tomorrow across off their doors, so there you go.

It's no twilight, but thanks. A bit scarier, I think. It's just so good. I want to get a run down, Kristen, off here of how that conversation went down. Will you team Ed, would or were you team Jacob is what I really want to know. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. his wife Haley Bieber

And then we did it for Steph yesterday And I thought Harrison you can't be left out mate So we've got to write a little version for you I'm nervous for them because let's be real I wrote mine from the heart But some of them are a bit pranky or joky From you two I think I took mine quite seriously

Were that because this is you doing one for Steph That's how Steffie She loves freebie If every meal is a peanut slab With God is cheesy And this is your one for me That's our creep He's so creepy

What? Love's a fit chick He's so creepy Would you say they were from the heart? That all very heartfelt And like you just pointed to Someone from the Edge Officers can't bought you a box of freebies Yeah appreciate that, thank you Katie

Yeah Okay A song about our dear dear Harrison KFee Ready? From the heart please From the heart All right, Steph, take it away. That's our Harry.

That's our Harry. Perfect vision. Wears glasses, though. Oh, and he's on television. Okay. Okay, I like half of it. Okay. No way of his work.

That's our Harry. Loves a pillow fort. Carries a volleyball for emotional support. Did you just try and find something that rhymed with support? Absolutely. He does have a pillow for it, though. Never mentioned it. No, but I know.

Sometimes I watch you through your window. My two again. Harrison Keefe got a big heart. Nighttime before sleep. Punches a few dots. Not anymore, Steph. More, either. They've hit the whole week off now.

Very triggered. It's very triggered thanks to you. Harrison took up smoking like a month ago, then gave it up two weeks. You're talking like you've smoked for a decade. You took it up. Recently. That's my hairy. He's got dollars.

His dog Dougie. Licked his bollas. Yeah. That's the reference to the story you told us of your childhood dog. Which we're not allowed... We're not allowed to talk about it. Sean, we're not allowed to tell that story

in the radio anymore. Guys... And my other dog died two weeks ago, so... So many complaints. Stop, stop, stop, stop. I love when you talk about dogs, man. It's really cool. Anyway, did you like the song from the heart?

It's bullshit. It's the worst thing we've ever heard. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The People's mascot. Your mascot. We have whittled this down to three options. The best option, in my opinion, the Edge Hedge.

I'm campaigning for the Edge Hog. And Harrison's idea is the Edge Wedge, which honestly needs a bit of love. Potato Wedge. But right now, because it is the People's Mascot, we've been getting different listeners. the people themselves to help us pitch it this afternoon. Guys, for my pitch of the EdgeWedge, I have the Edge Arvo's number one fan on.

This Wahina listens every day to the show. Oh, is it your mum? No, she doesn't listen to every day to the show, sadly. My mum does. Have you got Sue on? No, haven't got Sue on. I have, and you'll both be familiar with this name, please welcome Zara to the show. Zara, how are you? Oh, Zara! Zara! Hi, guys!

Hi, Zara! Now Zara, as told, I said, A quarter-up, said, hey, Edge Wed, are you a fan? She goes, don't even worry, Harrison. I can talk your ear off about the Edge Wed. I love it. So, Zara, when you're ready, please present your thoughts on the Edge Wedge. Okay, well, I'm the Edge Arbor's number one fan,

and I do listen every day, so I know you guys pretty well. Someone who has always compelled me with his incredibly original ideas is the nation's favorite ginger harrison. His ideas for the edge wedge makes the hog and the hedge look pathetic and honestly makes every mascot in New Zealand pathetic too. A potato wedge with big googly eyes, sweet chilly hair, sour cream all over his face and big white gloves. Isn't that just perfection?

I thought you were the show that is different and takes risk and most importantly puts the people first. So if that is your show, you'd let the edge wedge to watch. win. Wow, just off the cuff. Just top of the head, Zara. Zara, it was from your heart, wasn't it? Definitely.

Thanks, Sarah. Well said, actually. Very well said. Very well said. We love Zara. Yeah, it was tonally sounded a little bit like you. You think Sarah sounds like me? Yeah, a little bit.

We're very different people. I think we sound very similar. Yeah, kind of did feel like it was being read by text message that maybe Harrison sent us out. How is she read a text message? I don't know. I was an hour list is on speakerphone, so she couldn't have read that from her phone. She sounds like she might not be on speakerphone.

Well, Zara, I mean, thank you so much for being a big fan of the people's mascot. Specifically, the edge wedge. It does need some extra votes. So hopefully that did the trick. Don't get it. Thank you. Thank you so much, Zara. Zara, cough twice if you're in trouble, mate, if you need help.

She's fine. She got to laugh. There was a laugh. She's laughing. Actually, I was not reading from a text message. Can confirm that. Thank you, Zara. Just an email.

Don't comment, Zare. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The People's Mascots. Now, the three options have got Harrison's Edge Wedge, Steph's Edgehog, and My Edge Hedge. Now, we got celebrity endorsements yesterday

because it's a hedge, it's a bush. I decided I would tap into someone who's a bit of a female positive icon. Layla Kelly, who is New Zealand's top adult content creator. Hey, I'm Leila Kelly, New Zealand's top spicy content creator, and I'm backing the Edge Hedge as the official mascot of the Edge Arvos. And let's be honest, nothing says empowered like a big, thick bush. Now, since I got into contact with Leila and played that out on the show,

have you guys noticed the edge hedge went from last place to first place in the boating? I also noticed that your fiancé, Jeannie, hasn't been texting or calling during the show like she usually does. No, she had. During the break, she was on Find her, I'm going to miss you, babe, miss you. But you guys have been talking to her? You go? It goes on the rocks. It's all good?

You've been blowing up in adult entertainers' DMs to get her on the show. Like, she'd message me first. Oh, she's unfollowed you. I've just seen on Instagram as well. What is your fiancé? Who's Laila Kelly? Oh. Okay, so go and vote if you haven't already.

Friday will be the big reveal day. Oh, my fiancé. On what our show mascot will be. The people's mascot. It's entirely up to the people and what that's going to look like. But when we had Layla on yesterday, a voice like that, I mean, it's captivating. It's to have a sexy voice, it's earning a lot of money. And I'm like, could we do that?

Who out of the three of us would have the saltriest, spiciest voice? Wait, let's listen one more time. Hey, I'm Leila Kelly. Oh, hey. No, I can't do it. I think guys, you want to take a different approach for it. You don't want to do the, like, sexy. I'll never be Layla Kelly.

But I am sexy how my voice is now, I'd say. You've got quite a low-rised voice. I don't put anything on. So we're going to put this to the test right now. I've sent you each a short little sexy script. And we each have to have a go at doing our genuinely most sexy voice that we can do. Genuinely. This is the most chat, GBT-ridden thing I'm going to say.

What I predict will happen is I'll be, oh no, what. Harrison, you're going to really use your low tones there. and you've got a phenomenal voice. Thank you. Truly. Sean, please everyone stick around in here, Sean. What's wrong with my nasally...

I'm worried for sure. My nasally little voice. This is not fair. So I'll go first. Sure. They always ask what makes a voice sexy. Is it the tone, the timing? Or maybe it's how it lingers.

Just a second too long on your favourite word. I speak So you lean in closer And once you do Well You won't want to leave Wow You've been practicing

Your turn your turn You've been practising That was Very good Thank you Okay Close your eyes for a second Now imagine my voice

Is the only thing in the room With you Low Steady Wrapping around your thoughts Like warm velvet. I just let the silence lean in.

Because when I speak, I don't talk to your ears. I talk to every inch of your skin. Producer Nurse Sam's losing it after that one. Slip it off her chair. Gosh, that serial killer or sex, you don't know. You should be on that calm app. The calm app, calm app. Well, she's looking at you in a whole year, right.

All right, well, prepare to be shocked. Producer Nurse Sam. Okay, if you've just joined us, this is a... Who has a sexiest voice contest and the best of last, Sean actually tried properly. Don't do a joke here. Actually try and do it. I will.

Okay. I would never do a joke. They say a voice can touch... Sorry, can I start again. Start again. I think it's best if you start again. They say a voice can touch places, hands. Don't have a sexy voice.

Try, try. So here I am. letting mine wander slow and deliberate you don't need to see this see me you just feel it like thunder before the rain

so tell me how close do I need to get for you I'm done scary you're scary your avos head harder with Sean

Steph and Harrison The Edge Hey you know yesterday on the show how we were getting celebrity endorsements for our mascots and because mine's the Edge Hedge, I chose to get adult content creator Layla Kelly on to promote the Edge Hedge. Hey, I'm Leila Kelly,

New Zealand's top spicy content creator and I'm backing the Edge Hedge as the official mascot of the Edge Arvos. Yeah, because she's an advocate for the bush. I think what you did there, but I mean, you could have talked to, you could have got like a person from Plant Barn on. Jim from Jim's Mullen or he just ought to be a good one you know

But you went for the one you subscribed to Rayleigh Kelly The monster I'm trying to rally feminism Yeah So I'm for a female mattress actress Well I must say it did work You did get a couple of votes after that actually And you guys were asking me

How do I know the person who won the adult Entertainer of the year 2015 Lila Kelly How did I think we can fill in the gaps No well I don't follow her I do you bought a bundle One of the things with a voice note she sent you there and you used it on the show.

No, that's not. We're not donating to a charity called O-F every payday, are you? I don't subscribe to her OF. International career. Weird. You know, because she offered me, I did a podcast for a while with the Uncle Ticks,

the Tickokker who's got Tourette's podcast, and it was called Tickheads podcast. And towards the end of it, he was friends with all these people who are adult content creators, so we end up having them through the podcast to do interviews with them. And Laila Kelly was one of them. And I kind of became friends with her through it.

Oh, is that? Because Clint Randall used to host the podcast and you jumped on. Yeah. Was it because of that? Actually, I'm, oh, you, the, the porn star is coming. Awesome, I'll jump on that. I'll host as well.

Is that, that, that makes sense to me. No, that's actually not how it happened, but it ended up, like, kind of happening like that. Interesting. They have been side by side. But there's, do you know, Girtmaster? Yeah. The other guy who's got the biggest. He's got the best, we've been interviewed him before.

Yeah. He's famous for the biggest. The widest schlong. In the world. Yeah. It's Harrison. I don't want to see. No, no, no, no.

No, no. No, no. Is it a photo of him next to a wine bottle? Oh, I was not to say that. Oh, sorry. You can say it. Really? No, you say it.

No, so it's as long as as as as as gurthy as a wine bottle. Really? It's insane. Genually. It's crazy. So this is what it comes back to it. When I was interviewing these adult entertainers, they'd always like, it was weird because I became friends with that guy because we hung up for a few days. And then like, after the interview and stuff, he was like, oh, do you want to see some of my stuff?

And I was like, nah, not really. He's like, I'll give you a couple. Cobra, you can watch some of it. And I was like, nah. For me, it's weird to now like... Wait, wait, wait, wait. A corn star that you like kind of interviewed in like... We had bears together, like, dapped him up.

Nicest dude, massive hands. Was like, here's a link to my self-having sex with someone. He said, oh, do you want to watch this? Because you're talking about one of his videos. He goes, I'll send you a link, bro. You want to watch? And I was like, nah, man, not really. Oh, shut up.

You were giddy for it. No, I do. I do. I don't. I thought it was so weird. Have you watched? No. Did you meet him and then go watch?

me on his phone. Have you ever watched him? Did he? He's the only time. He showed you him doing it. He goes, this is it. Do you want to see? And I was like, whoa, that's you with your thing out. But like, imagine being that comfortable that you're just like, hey, bro, you're to see me

absolutely going. Rips down. Yeah, and that was it. That's like, no, man. I'm not in this lifestyle. To me, watching a video of someone your friends with doing that act isn't a normal thing. That's literally, literally ripping, though. Literally hurting people.

I know. It's all farts. It's far out. That is crazy. Anyway, I don't know where I was going with that, but I guess that's it. Show up. Showed off your cool friends. Guys, Sean really needs a new friends.

I need some mates, guys. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
