This is a podcast from Rover.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, welcome to the podcast.
Big old show today.
Oh, yes, we talked about awkward encounters for the first time meeting the in-laws.
And you have to listen to how Harrison's girlfriend Sarah met his parents.
And it was your mom's idea, which I'm quite shocked.
It was weird.
She doesn't really like that stuff either.
It was real weird.
Strange.
Maybe she was feeling anxious too.
And she was like, oh, this will help.
Yeah, maybe.
It involves screaming and people being handy.
Yeah.
Also, Harrison's on a journey of becoming amputexha.
It's been a long journey but I'm really trying for it.
All right.
Enjoy the podcast.
No more context needed.
Your Avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
The Edge.
What?
I didn't mean it like that.
I mean like, you shouldn't poke someone in the face.
Okay, okay.
All right, go on.
Easy money is the game.
Realize how that sounded.
Has it left on it.
Stop dwelling on it.
30 seconds, we'll give you a letter.
You get 10, bloody, 10 questions.
And if you answer them all within 30 seconds, you'll win $10,000.
Do you know what the best conversation is to quickly move on a conversation
and pretend the last 30 seconds never happened?
Hey, Derek from Auckland, how cold was it this morning?
Very cold, very, very cold.
Derek, how cold?
Oh, I've got the heat pump on the whole night,
but I'm not cold anymore because my heart rate's pumping at the moment.
I bet you're a bit nervous.
Now, what number are you running at night time there?
Derek, are you running a little 21?
I was a 20 on the heat pump last night.
You were 22?
I got a 23 on low, on low.
There's too hot.
Stand at 23 on heat.
No, Derek.
Too hot.
It's too hot.
It's too hot.
Sweating up in there.
Losing weight, it's dripping out of yourself.
It's why Derek needs to win 10K to pay for his power bill.
Yeah, all right, Derek.
10 G's up for grand right now.
What would you do with it?
Oh, I probably put it towards my trip to the South Island.
I've never been before, and I've been here for 30 years in New Zealand.
So, yeah, looking forward to that.
Oh, wow.
It's a great place, man.
Hell yeah.
It's bloody gold, Derek.
You might hate it, mate.
Yeah, yeah, I'd have to crank it up to 24 in the hotel room.
All right, Derek, well, fingers crossed for you, friend.
We are rooting for you.
30 seconds on the clock.
Your letter will be Q.
Yep.
O, that's hard.
Q. Very hard. That's a hard letter.
Yeah. Or easy, because
it eliminates a lot of the option. There's not that many
options. There's got to be an answer
for every question, so maybe it makes it easier.
Yeah, your letter's Q. You can pass
and hopefully we'll have time to get back to the tricky ones.
Your time will begin, Derek, when I finish
saying the first category.
Are you ready?
Oh, I'm ready.
Okay. With the letter Q for
$10,000, Derek,
please name for us
a country.
A cuveque
A food
A job
A job
A quota
A brand
Queenies
A music artist
Pass
A historical figure
Pass
A type of cheese
Sorry, what was that
A type of cheese
A pass
A name
Queenie
A word related to sport
I think that was the
hardest one of you ever seen.
They wrote these.
Oh man, the letter Q,
oh my goodness.
I think actually you were kind of out
after the first one, eh, because Quebec is in a
country. Yeah, there's only one old show.
Yeah. Qatar.
Yeah, Qatar.
Yeah. Qatar. Yeah.
Qatar, yes, of course.
Yeah. Yeah.
You passed about three, but you got four.
Well done, Derek. And just apologies on behalf
of the team here. That was a difficult
challenge today. I'm going to blame Sean.
I'm going to blame Sean too.
It's actually all Sean's fault, Derek.
I'm going to blame myself.
Yeah.
Good.
You know what though, Derek?
I can give you a hundred bucks.
Thanks to BNZ.
100 dollars.
There you go.
That's muchly appreciated and I'm just stoked I got through today.
Oh, cheers, mate.
Stay warm, Derek.
Thanks for you.
Thank you.
Derek. BNZ.
Giving them that 100 bucks.
They can help you mask to your money
so you can start acing whatever you're doing from day one.
Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
It's time for everyone's favorite segment
and the reason that a lot of people listen to this radio show
Sean's five-star fact
Confident, hey.
Just foreshadowing because I know you guys don't love it at the moment.
Well, I mean, it's a fact segment. You provide us with a fact
and then as you're judging committee, myself, Harrison and producer,
Sam have to judge it out of five stars.
And it's quite interesting to me that someone's so confident,
is so confident after never being able to get the five stars.
Ever, over a hundred facts.
Has it been that many?
It's been he's money.
Okay, well, today's one I'm very confident about.
today's five-star fact is
there is no specific time zone
in the South Pole.
This is because that's obviously where the longitude,
latitude lines line up
with each other. You lost me.
The Earth's not flat?
You lost me.
Okay.
Earth's not flat? It's a circle.
So it means that the stations in the South Pole
actually use the time zone of whatever country
they're from. So with all the stations
there, they all use different time zones.
So if we call Scott Bay,
is New Zealand's house there.
3pm.
So if you want to catch up with your mate, who's also at the South Pole,
you'd be like, hey mate, you want to catch up for a coffee at 3pm tomorrow?
That's at 2 a.m for you actually, but it's at 1pm for Phil,
so we'll have to make it work for all of us.
That can't be true.
That doesn't make sense how everyone would be running on different.
Would all their watches be different?
Yeah.
No, they're on the time zone of their base.
No.
No, they do, because they don't interact with each other.
They do interact with each other.
Not that much.
They do, they do like interbase activities.
Well, Nurse Sam's fact-checking it anyway,
but I'm pretty confident that that's a real fact.
Did you say South Pole or North Pole?
South Pole.
So in Antarctica, all the people on there are running off their own clocks
depending on where they're from.
I don't think it's true.
No, it's absolutely true.
No time zone has been assigned to the South Pole.
So any time can be used as local time.
This is insane, guys, because that's so cool.
And if you're at the top and the bottom
and you're not going around the wide part,
you're like in this time zone of not even being in time.
Because the sun's just always up in the summer
and always down in the winter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, this is way too much.
I'm sorry, this is way too much.
I love this.
I love this.
Yeah, this is right up producer in New Zealand's alley, by the way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Why don't you like it, Harrison?
That's too much for me, man.
I don't know.
To understand.
Yeah, I'm slower.
I'm a bit slower than you lot.
That's okay.
in that. That's just a lot of variables
in that. Okay. Well, so
South Pole, try it one more time. South Pole,
no time zone. Yeah.
Just go about whatever country they're from. Good on them.
Two and a half.
What? It's such a good fan. That's generous.
I don't really like that one.
So all the countries with research bases
in Antarctica include Brazil, Chile,
China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland,
Russia, etc., etc., etc. So every single one of these
bases are running off their own country's time.
Isn't that incredible? I just don't see how
It's possible.
That's insane, eh?
But it's just incredible, yes, but it's also just like, it's annoying because it's not true.
I can't kind of true.
They could just run off the time of the South Pole.
But they go, nah, we're going to do our country's one instead.
That's why it's an interesting fact.
It's quite interesting because if the sun's always up, then I guess it kind of does work
because you're awake when your country's awake.
Thank you.
That's what I'm saying.
I like it now.
You want to get a coffee with Phil, and Phil works for the Chinese one.
Phil's like, you've got to find a time you're both awake to keep.
Catch a coffee?
100%.
I love this.
It's like magical.
You're like living in a no time zone of no time.
It's like that scene from Indistella.
Yes.
Okay.
See, not really.
Oh my God, I love this.
I'm giving it a 4.7.
It's a high 4.
What's to improve on?
It's just unlikely I'm going to repeat it.
I'm blown away in the moment,
but I don't think it's going to be with me long term.
Sorry, Sean.
That's okay.
I feel that.
I can't wipe the smile from my face.
Sean. I think it's so cool.
Is it a five?
It's a five for me.
And Harrison, 2.5.
Yeah, man.
It's just too much for me.
It was too much.
It was a lot.
We took a while to get there.
It was a big conversation.
Harrison's still getting there.
Yeah.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Then what's going on here, guys?
I just have a fantastic five-star fact.
It's a long-standing segment on the show.
It happens at 3.30 every day.
Yeah, we are, Sean, you give everybody a fact in.
And as you're judging committee,
we have to rate you out of five stars.
And Harrison, how many times has Sean achieved his goal of having the trifectar of the five stars?
Including today?
Yeah.
Never.
And not including today?
Still never.
Still never.
And it's a shame because, you know, it's funny.
It's like he knew.
This is what annoys me a little bit.
It's like, because we said, oh, yeah, you're going to be threatened today that your segment might go.
She's tried a little bit harder today.
And he actually got a pretty decent fact.
He had like background music and everything.
But that's only after we're going,
hey mate, we may have to pull the second from the show,
then he's trying a bit.
So that runs me the wrong way a little bit.
And you're listening, this might be,
or this will be new news to you,
that behind the scenes, producer,
New Sam, Harrison and I,
no offence to you show,
but we have kind of questioned
the longevity of the segment.
I mean, August, it's a long time to be like failure
after failure after, every day,
just lost after loss.
I've gone so close.
I mean, quite a few 4.9s.
Even today, I got a 5 from Sam.
I just need to get a 5 from all of you.
So we've had like guests come in and they've got on a five.
And a listener, a listener got a five-file?
A listener got a five.
Yeah, but you've never like, it's pretty grueling, man.
So it's doable, but just Sean...
Gruelling seems like.
Specifically, Sean has never been able to achieve it himself.
And so we've got a bit of an ultimatum, Sean.
Oh, I can't look at him.
Harrison, you tell him, you tell him.
What do you mean?
It's such a good bit.
Sean, we want to present this to you.
The Air Java's Fact Tour.
You gotta give him that a fact.
Sean, we're thinking...
Is that the Hawke Tour girl?
Yes, but it's fact tour.
We're thinking, Sean...
What on earth is happening?
We're thinking we're going to give you one last trial.
This is your final time.
We're thinking about travelling the country.
Okay, and finding a five-star fact from the listeners, from you.
And if you can't pull it off, in these three days what we're gone, the segment's over.
We're pulling it.
You want to travel the country looking for a fact.
We don't want it.
We will be.
We are 100% locked in.
We're going to Dunedin, Southland, and Queensland and Queensland at the end of next week.
Oh my God.
Wednesday onwards.
Exciting.
And we are going to be trying to find a five-staff act from the people.
Because this, mate, you haven't done it yet.
Oh, easy.
You give me three days.
I can have more than one shot a day, though, because that's the problem I only get one shot a day.
You can have an unlimited amount of shots.
Three days.
Three days.
As many lists as this can help me.
We're just going to text in today that goes, give me a chance, I'll get a five-star fact.
Listeners want to contribute to this.
Yeah.
But last time I got a list they're on for a fact and they got five-stars,
you guys said it didn't count as mine.
For this purpose, if a listening gets a five-star fact, that counts as mine.
If a listener gets a five-star fact, the segment's saved.
Okay, so if anyone gets a five-star fact.
Yeah.
Yeah. It has to be five-star.
That's hard to get.
And again, the judges, Harris and myself said from producer new saying,
we have to market a five for this segment to see another day.
So we're going to be hitting the road
Dunedin, South and Queensland next week.
Socials will be everywhere.
Ejavos and you can see where we're at
and you can come down and say a fact
and try and get five stars
and I'm sure we'll have out the freebies and stuff as well.
So that's how...
The Ejavos Fact Tour.
Spinning facts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is with love, Sean, because you know
you need a bit of help with us.
So this is our way of trying to help.
Okay, you know what?
That's fair.
I accept the ultimatum.
If I can't get a five-star fact
with unlimited goes in three days down south with a list of how time.
Then it probably should be cut.
I think I can do it.
I can absolutely do it.
I'm very excited.
Yay.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Guys, I started reading about a week ago.
Yeah, me too.
Thank you, Sean.
Hey, where's my clap?
This is my announcement.
Do you want to clap and then I can throw back to you?
Your announcement of...
I've started reading a week ago.
So, Cliff Harrison.
I mean, now you...
Guys, I also started reading about a week ago.
God, myself, I'll sleep at my moment.
Oh, I was going to clap her.
But it's like, it's been amazing.
It's been life-changing.
Steph, you know, you just started reading a week ago.
Thank you, finally.
You know I wanted the clap from Harrison.
Do you want to give her the clap now that you've announced it?
Yes.
Okay, right.
Yeah, yeah.
But I've noticed it's changed my life.
Steve can agree, like, I used to love watching TV.
I'm an actor.
I love watching TV.
God, I hate it.
Well, yeah, I mean, my mum's been visiting,
and on Saturday night it was the three of us, my partner, Jake,
and Mom and I just parked up on the couch,
and those two were watching a movie together, and I was reading.
I finished reading my book.
We've been reading the same book, Harrison, and I.
It's called the Housemade.
It's very good.
Sean did you get into it.
Oh, my God, I've read this book,
and I told you both to read it,
and then now that you're both reading it,
you've not acknowledged the fact that I gave you this issue.
Give it a go, I can borrow it from me next if you want.
You're gaslighting us.
Great, but recommend that to everybody.
It's a really good book.
It got me into reading.
Got Steph, into reading.
Oh my God
And I was
John
Sorry it's not about me
And I was
Walking on the weekend
With my lovely girlfriend
Have you heard of walking?
Good one
And we were saying
I was saying her
What are the benefits of reading
Like I'm not exactly sure
I know it's good for you
What is actually good about it
Getting off the screen
I guess
Does she say that?
Yeah
She's using your imagination
Doing that kind of stuff
And I'm saying
I feel like
I don't know
Like I'm just growing as a person
I feel a bit brainier
I feel a bit stronger
what other things can I do to make me strong?
And then she, no word of a lie,
turns to me and says,
I've started wiping my bum with my non-dominant hand
in case I have a stroke.
Wait, your girlfriend's serious.
My girlfriend said that to me.
She turned and then walking.
That's what she's doing to try and get smarter.
Yeah, wiping the bum with her other hand in case.
She has a stroke.
I'm like, interesting?
I guess if you're like, it's not only a stroke,
but if you do break your right arm, I always feel for people,
you have to learn how to wipe left hand out.
She's getting ahead of it in case.
So unnatural.
And so now I'm on the journey of being apidextrous.
Ambidextrous.
Appy dexterous.
Ambidextrous.
You're still echoing what I'm saying.
Which is the thing where you can use both your hands for everything.
So you have tried what your girlfriend Sarah did, like the wiping?
Yes, I have my first trial this morning.
Oh yeah, how'd it go?
Hard.
I've got two words.
Sheep dags.
Oh, dude.
So are you using your left hand for other things as well or just that?
Are you eating like your knife and fork?
backwards? Yeah. No, because we came, we had a shared lunch here today, the office.
A bit of finger food action going on as well. Yeah.
Which wasn't good after the trial. Oh, God. I actually went through a phase back at school
where I really wanted to become ambidextrous. And all of my school books, you can tell
from when I went from right-handed to left-handed, because I was, like, adamant that it's
something that you can practice and get really good at. I figured out you can't.
Well, with that attitude, you can't, yes. But throw me this ball, the volleyball,
the always carry around. I mean, practicing throws to myself in morning.
I'll catch it with my non-dominant hand.
Okay, so throwing it to your left hand.
Just throwing it to me and I'll catch it with my non-dominant hand.
All right.
See, I still can't quite get it, but I'm on a journey
and I can't wait to check it next Monday and show how strong I am.
Narvo's Hit Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
No, you may have seen the news story over the weekend.
Our Prime Minister, Chris Luxem, was showing the Australian Prime Minister
around some of New Zealand's highlights down south.
That's his name, eh?
Who?
Australian Prime Minister, I'm pretty sure.
I think so.
Really?
Yeah.
Different name.
I like it.
Yeah.
I thought that was a place they were showing them.
But that was his name, was it?
Yeah, guys.
This is real cringe TikTok of them like splitting a pavlover
and then like arguing over who's pavlob...
We did it, we did it.
You know, it's my least favorite...
Thing that we're trying to claim?
Like, you have an icebreaker.
Oh.
I was talking to the boss, out of Australian boss the other day.
And someone comes over and says, oh, we had the pad,
first. I'm like, God, how old are you?
Such an old person debate.
I can't stand it these days.
It's also, like, have it. Yeah, who cares?
I don't want it. It's average. It's annoying to make.
It's not very yum. Take it.
You're bacon and have a pavlover and we'll have a meringue with some cream and fruit on top.
Way better. But you only have it at Christmas, so forget about it.
You're way better.
Yeah, I agree, man. But what it did happen is he was showing in Queensland. Great spot.
Like, if you're going to take someone to show them New Zealand, take them to Queensland.
The show's going to be there Friday next week on our fat floor.
is it confirmed.
Yeah, Friday.
Friday next week we'll be there
and you can come and find us
and give us a fact.
Are we hosting any international diplomats?
Oh, yeah, potentially.
Because that might help us.
I know we will intend to hit the luge down there,
but this is what...
Our new mascot may be an international diplomat.
True.
The hedge.
So, you know, could be.
Was it going to make its debut on the fact tour?
Yes, do we not say that?
We're going to plan.
This is crazy.
Yeah, no, yeah.
So, yeah, so that's what Christopher Luxon did,
our Prime Minister.
He managed to get the Queen's sound
Luge shut to the public for half an hour
so that him and the Prime Minister of
Australia could ride the Luge back to back
while everyone... There's great videos of it online
because they didn't really close it. Everyone was still there.
They didn't get told about it. There's paying customers.
Had to stay in the line. Hey,
can you guys just wait for half an hour while
Christopher Lutson rides it by himself?
Half an hour. You know what I finally agree
with something with him. That's awesome.
I'd do that. If you were Prime Minister, you'd do
that. It's only 30 minutes. It's 30 minutes. It's 30 minutes
of your time. Go grab a bit coffee.
Go have a sickie. That doesn't matter. It's just 30 minutes.
If no one bothering you, the people, the people that you're supposed to be representing.
Don't let them near me.
What did you guys do?
Oh my God, okay.
If I was Prime Minister and the power went to my head,
I would absolutely make it a law that I got to skip all the lines that came out.
I was there on the weekend.
You know when Kmart lines are so long that they wrap around the entire store?
They move pretty quick, but still we were there for about 10 minutes,
so I'd have like a little like Kmart skipping the line badge.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
What would you do?
I'd probably book out.
own pub every Sunday. Like my
favorite pub I book it out every Sunday.
And the Sunday Rose, get OTP,
and the band and the dance floor to myself,
that would be a dream.
Wait, so when people go to the pub
to socialise and hang out with the other people,
that you don't want that.
They're like, sorry, Prime Minister Harrison is here.
Everyone else get out.
And you just stay home and have a drink.
And just dance in your lounge.
Nah, it ain't like the pub though, is it?
Well, the pub, the reason the pub's got a vibe
is because there are other people there.
Yeah, they can look at it. They can look from the
windows. What would you do, Sean, if you're a Prime Minister for the day?
You know, I think Queensland, I think Fergburger, and I don't think, I think I've had
one Ferg Burger in my life because every time I go down there, I'm like, oh, I eat a Fergburger.
And then I'm like, what's the way? An hour and a half? No, thank you. No, I don't get it.
You skip that line. I'd be like, sorry, I'm taking the Australian Prime Minister,
we need a Fergburger. Or maybe Rainbow Zend. Oh, yeah.
You two suck. You just skip lines. No, I do, I'd do something else. So if I was Prime
Minister, I'd make it also a law that every single All Blacks game, I get to sing the national anthem.
Oh, God. Be so far.
Can you imagine it be so far and we're sack.
Ket the boys off to a pretty rough game, I'd say.
What are you joking me?
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Popcorn.
Phone's off.
Another trailer for Harrison's Movie Corner.
Guys, every weekend I watch a few movies.
For my sake, but to kind of keep everyone else like the public.
And you guys, up to date, what the hottest, freshest movies are right now?
and before you watch them, I'll tell you exactly what I feel about them.
Okay.
I'm surprised there are enough new movies to kind of keep this up.
You watch a new movie every week, but I feel like it's only a good new movie every two months.
Nah, well, that could be a problem.
But I go to the movies every Sunday, and then I watch something on a streaming platform.
So there's two, and then there's an old classic that I might watch as well.
Okay.
So it's at least three movies a weekend.
First one was an action comedy.
A routine cash pickup takes a wild-turb and two mismatched armored truck drivers get ambushed by
ruthless criminals.
This movie's called The Pickup.
It's on Amazon Prime, starring Kiki, Palmer,
Pete Davidson and Eddie Murphy.
It's a fun and classic action comedy.
Having had those in a while.
Some laugh out at our moments.
Very silly.
Is that new?
Because I saw that pop up on mine,
and I was like, oh, Pete Davidson and Eddie Murphy, but...
Yeah, Eddie's lost a bit of a spark, I think.
Yeah, he's just not as funny, and he's a bit slower.
What's Pete Davidson was good, though?
He was on.
I'll be honest, out of all the Pete Davidson movies,
that have been made from him
in the last rest of the news
this is the best one.
He's on fire.
And Kiki Parma's amazing.
Yeah, she's great too.
Where is it again?
Amazon Prime.
Amazon Prime.
Amazon Prime.
Yeah.
But I recommend you go and watch it.
I give that 2.5 cheesy garlic nans out of five.
I also watch the comedy.
Two decades after an identity crisis
and his blended family faces new challenges.
And that was freaky a Friday.
Oh, you went to see it?
Yes, at the cinema.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Llewine.
I'm interested in that because Freaky Friday was great
but how often do they nail a sequel
and I haven't heard too much about that one
which makes me concerned
Yeah it was a great ode to the original movie
I feel like you really had to see the original
to enjoy this one
Like it was too like reference based
Oh god this this this
And Lindsay Lawrence and mum's a mum now way
Of like teenagers and I'm like
Yeah and they like swap with the kids
So they're acting like children
Which I always feel weird about
Yeah
It's like Tom Hanks movie called Big where he plays
Like a nine year old boy
It's just a bit weird
when adults are like children.
So, yeah, but it's great to see Lindsay Lowen thriving.
Happy about that.
And there's a big return to the end of the movie, a blooper reel.
I love it.
Bring those back.
A bit of music, a bloopers, it's a fun time.
Oh, I love a blooper.
Yeah, what happened to them?
At the end of most movies, there was outtakes, silly.
So it's quite cute.
I give that 3.5 cheesy garlic nards out of five.
And the final movie I watched was a family film.
So you get your families and watchers at home.
A successful narcissistic German businessman
slowly starts worrying about the safety of his Jewish workforce
after witnessing their persecution in Poland during World War II.
And that was Shinler's List.
It's a good movie. Don't watch it with your kids.
There's kids in it, so I thought my niece and if you could watch it with me.
5.5, cheesy garlic nans out of five.
Okay, you've got to stop taking cheesy garlic nans into cinemas.
That's what I have to say about this whole segment.
But good to know.
So Freaky Friday worth watching?
Yeah, and Shinler's List.
Okay.
Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
The People's Mascot.
We've been on a journey to create the first people's mascot.
A radio show mascot created by the people.
And on Friday, we finally came to a decision.
Or the People did.
The winner of the Edge Mascot.
The Edge Arvost mascot, 2025, is coming about these ads.
No, we've got to stop going.
Okay, it's the Edge Hedge.
Yes!
The Edge Hedge will be our mascot,
which means currently we're getting it made.
A hedge mascot outfit, what that looks like will be decided.
But ready to debut hopefully in the coming weeks?
Well, yeah, I mean, we're going to be touring the bottom of the South Island next week
and hopefully bringing our Edge Hedge on the road with us.
So our incredible listener Kelly,
who was tuning in maybe like two weeks ago listening to the show
and happened to get in touch because we were a bit of an.
dilemma, weren't we? We don't know how the hedge, well, the mascot at that stage,
she didn't know what it was going to be, was going to get made. And she was like, oh,
I'll do it. We're like, we're like, Sean, you're away that day. We're like, what, what's
your CV like? Oh, I'm a bridal dressmaker. We're like, oh, yeah, okay. We will sign you up.
How do you feel, Harrison about it was your brainchild? And then we put it to the people,
obviously, they all voted, your idea got voted out first. Yeah. And now having the hedge as
our iconic, what people will come to know this show as. Yeah, thanks for bringing them back up. It's
been a long weekend to kind of wind down from all that fiasco last week.
I'm definitely not happy about it.
Steve even, just hold on this, Steve,
because you even actually went into Chat GPT and put in, like,
what the hedge would look like?
What is it, A-I?
Yeah, it's like an image creation, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, and it looked awesome, which is another negative to knock me back, I feel,
because you sent these fries, like, wouldn't that been cool?
I say, yep, that looks really cool.
Oh, I know what you mean.
So, yeah, I set up like a hedge, what Elmasco of the hedge could look like,
and I sent that to Kelly, I was there.
And then I also just, for Harrison's,
like did like a wedge AI creation and just to rub it in a little bit more, I suppose.
But I think at the end of the day, it is the people's mascot and I am happy for the people.
And the hedge, it's fun, man.
It's a good idea.
I'm excited for it.
Great.
I would like to know who out there has ever been a mascot.
Because, I mean, one of the team, producing her Sam or maybe wider edge team, they're going to have to be inside of the mascot.
and I want to hear some stories of when being a mascot has gone wrong.
It's an interesting thing you bring up because we only really got so far in our heads of like,
let's get the costume, we'll get a mascot.
But you do, someone has to be the mascot.
And speaking from experience, it's not an easy job.
I was a mascot for like one or two shifts.
What?
I knew Harrison had some experience as a mascot as like a lipped-a-nice-tee guy who almost fainted on the beach, right?
Unison Power guy and I fainted on the beach, but a kid's, yes.
Yeah, I know.
So what, you've also had some.
a masquoting experience.
Yeah, so my best friend growing up was
his main full-time job was
Steamy the Steamer, which is
the Bay of Plenty Steamer's mascot.
It's like the provincial rugby team.
Wow. Wow. That was your mate's job.
It's my mate's job. And he
was like, me and him were the same size
and we were both quite tall. So this was
made for him. It was him. So when he got
sick, they pulled me in to do it because I was the only other
person who kind of fit that mascot outfit.
But people treat you terribly when you're a
mascot. I remember being kicked by children. I remember
kids jumping on you, they're always trying to kick you in the nuts that you get used to just blocking it.
But there's something about, maybe it was just Toonga in the mid-2000s, but kids just want to nutshot the mascot.
What?
So wait, what is the steamer, like a mop?
What were you?
A turd.
No, I was...
That would have been a great mascot idea.
No, I think the steamers is based on like steam ships or something, but it was just a boy.
It was just a giant, like, human mascot of a boy.
Oh, what? Random.
You're a mascot boy?
It was creepy.
Like, I'll show you the mascot up.
Like, I'm imagining like, um...
Skin colour and stuff.
Like Squid Games, dull.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, this.
Let's have a look.
Oh, he's showing me on his phone.
Oh, yeah, it's super creepy.
It looks like Rugger from, um, small blacks.
The All Blacks TV show, Small Black.
But, man, no, it's probably, after your time.
I was just really up there.
Okay.
Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
We are going to blow our entire show budget on a mascot.
On Friday, the people have spoken.
After voting for weeks, the Edge Hedge was voted our mascot,
which we don't know what it looks like yet.
Katie is currently making it a listener friend of ours.
Kelly.
Good one.
Good one, Sean.
Damn it, and she's doing it so cheap as well so that we can...
She's actually doing it for free.
For free.
Yeah, for free it is.
Just so we can mention her and say how good she's doing.
Kelly, yeah, yeah.
Kelly, is it?
Name's a good start.
Oh, sure.
Anyway, I call her Katie for short.
We want to know if you have any masquotting experience,
and Ellie was a cow.
Excuse me?
Hi, Ellie.
Hi.
Ellie, tell us about how you were a cow.
Yes, so in year nine or ten,
I got asked to dress up as Rosie the Cow
for a dairy NZ event.
Oh.
Cute.
That is pretty cute.
Any advice for our potential mascot person,
Ellie, what did you learn from it?
Peak of summer sucks.
Make sure it's been dry, clean, because it stinks.
Oh, good point.
And yes, stay away from children.
Some love you, some hate you.
That's it.
Stay away from children.
I feel like children are very attracted to the mascots.
That's a big issue.
That's what I found when I was a mascot is kids just like do not treat you like a human.
They want to kick you, punch you.
Jeez, all right.
Thank you, Ellie.
Great.
Great advice here.
Kevin from Napier's here.
Kevin, you were a mascot.
Yes, I was.
Yes, for the magpies, rugby team, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
What were you?
I'll go to the magpie, so I'd go to walk around the whole field
and play, yeah, dance with the kids and wave to the fans and get photos.
And, yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Question.
So when you were inside of a mascot outfit and you're, like, posing for photos and things,
are you Kevin smiling or are you just, like, standing there?
Because no one can see your face.
Good point.
Oh, I'm smiling too.
No, I love it.
I love all the dance moves and moving around.
Yeah.
I always like to think that everyone's smiling under there.
Yeah.
It's hard to know because you can't see.
And Kevin, do you talk?
No, no, no talking, no.
No talking.
No talking.
Yeah, we're unsure if he's just going to be, yeah, what his vibe is going to be.
Yeah.
We're in progress.
Thank you, Kevin.
Great, great, great, great.
And Matt from Auckland's here on 0800 the Edge as well.
We're talking mascots.
We have the Edge Hedge that is being born this week.
Matt, what's your advice?
Oh, God.
I'd argue stay away from adults.
Oh, why?
I used to work as the Colonel Sanders mascot for KFC for a couple of years.
I used to do it as a job and some of the experiences with some of the adults at the Super Rugby
Games especially.
Yeah, my advice, stay away from the adults.
So you're saying your advice is stay away from the drunk adults at the rugby games, I think, is what you're saying.
Yeah, pretty much.
What would they do to you?
I mean, I had one experience where an incredibly intoxicated fella decided that he wanted
to give the Colonel a patch, and unfortunately the Colonel's mouth is my eye.
line.
So I got a whole lot of tongue, a whole lot of tongue in my
eye line.
It stink as well, a vomit of beer.
Yeah.
We've got a pink eye mate.
Yeah, that was pretty atrocious.
A drunk guy at the super angry, but I'm going to bash Colonel Sanders is the
funny.
Yeah, no, he got tackle by security.
And once again, Matt, I cannot apologize enough for doing that to you back then, man.
I've sorted it out.
Sure, Matt.
Thanks for you cool.
And if The Edgehead, you know, if you see our mascot out and about, you can pass Al Bush.
It's all good.
Don't pass our Bush.
I don't mind it.
You don't.
But for the mascot, don't pass it.
Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
But right now, time to get you updated on all things newsworthy.
Goodenitia and welcome to relative new news.
I'm Harrison.
I'm Sean Hill.
And I'm Steph.
Starting off the relatively new news, Disney on Ice.
is currently here in Tamaki Makoto
with Disney fans travelling from far and wide
to see the spectacle,
featuring Disney characters of all kinds,
including The Little Mermaid.
It starts with our beautiful Little Mermaid,
it also features a very, very nice aerial act.
An Arial act, and The Little Mermaid,
eye skating through the air.
Sign me up!
Oh no, wait, I've just heard from our producer
that Ariel is actually the name of the Little Mermaid.
That's disappointing.
She goes, like, so many feet up in the air.
Oh, wait, sorry.
So she does get airborne.
It's confusing to use the word aerial
as a verb to describe the character Ariel,
but I guess it makes sense
since she's got a tail
and the air could kind of be her water.
She just got legs,
so then she goes and does this beautiful routine in the air.
You know what, that's on May for not watching the show.
This is very confusing.
To you, Harrison.
Trump hates the homeless.
China.
He's asking people to immediately move out of Washington, D.C.
He went out to the homeless crowd today
and tried his best to let them down easy.
Today we give our everlasting thanks
to you and your...
We're unbelievable families.
We want to thank you very much for being here.
He decides to give them the old compliment sandwich technique.
Nice crowd.
I even hear a young, beautiful voice in the background.
I sense a negative coming up here.
We got rid of ISIS in record time.
They said it was going to take four to five years.
He did it in four weeks.
There it is.
Oh, look at you.
You better look at than I am, I'll tell you that.
And finish the speech with his classic pervy ways.
Over to you, Steph.
I don't quite get it
What?
What's the ISIS thing about?
Well, he says you got rid of ISIS in record time
and then he said he's going to take it for it
so he did it in weeks
and he's going to kick the homeless out in weeks.
For ISIS, it's a good thing
ISIS has gone.
Is it?
They're terrorists.
They kill people.
Yes.
And Steph, over to you.
Sports!
In sport, the Warriors lost abysmally
to the Bulldogs 3214 on the weekend,
but the reason for the loss,
As coach Andrew Webster explains, many of the team's players are currently haunted by evil ghosts.
A lot of spirit in that group and we'll keep fighting.
Number 6'10, Boyd is so scared of ghosts, he avoided the game entirely.
The rest of the team are getting around him.
Yeah, we're confident we can do it together.
We've got a good group in there that believe in each other and they support each other.
Remembering them.
This is at the moment in the news where we acknowledge and just kind of sit in with the people that we've just recently lost.
A sudden break in news death
Hulk Hogan passed away today.
And what's it going to do
when Hulkomania in the largest honor in the world?
No, no, no.
No, weeks ago.
Two weeks ago.
Two weeks ago.
Followed by another shocking death.
Ozbourne recently passed.
Sherrod!
I say this is the third week in a row.
It's relatively new, isn't it?
But you know, you've got to remember them always.
And finally, shocking death.
Well, I only just found it today.
but Walt Disney passed away.
Disneyland is your land.
So it's just relatively new deaths.
What year? Did he die?
1714.
That's not true.
Famously, massively anti-Semitic as well.
Was he?
Anyway, that was your relatively new news.
A couple of problematic stories from you.
It's so bad.
Oh, that was really heavy.
Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
In the weekend, my lovely girlfriend, Sarah and I were taking a walk.
We were thinking about what to do on the weekend.
We're like, what can we do in Auckland?
And we both, we lived in Wellington for a long time.
And she was saying, you know, there's a lot more to do here than there is doing Wellington.
And I was like, oh, like, what can we even do in Wellington?
And I was like, oh, yeah.
I remember my little cousins.
They were like 12 and 13.
They came up to Wellington one weekend and we took them to the Fair Factory, which is like spookers here.
It's like a haunted house.
In the middle of town, you just walk through it,
and you hold onto each other's shoulders in front of you.
Does scary people jump out at you?
Yeah, and it's all dark, and it's stroves,
and there's screaming and stuff.
I've seen the one in Queenstown, but it's like you can go in the middle of the day, eh?
Yeah, it's just on the, it's in Cuba Street in Wellington.
What is it?
You just go and get scared?
Yeah, it's like a 10-minute walk around.
I mean, it's pitch black.
It's horrible.
And my auntie and uncle cousins came up,
and I was like, you guys can do it.
my uncle was really funny
I've got my cousins to do it
I'm not doing it
I've done that before
and then I was like yeah
and then Sarah's like yeah
we did it with your parents
and I was like yeah
that was horrible
she goes you know
it was the first time
I'd ever meet your parents
I was like what do you mean
she goes
they came down to Wellington
and the first thing we ever did
was go to Fair Factory together
so the first we met up
at Fair Factory
gave a hug Sarah
mom and dad
all right guys
when you're in there
hold on to each other tightly
like straight into it
and then we go to Fair Factory
she comes out in tears
His mom and dad are laughing just so that thing it's all so funny.
I hate that kind of stuff.
So I'm shaking.
Whose idea was it?
My mum's.
What?
But she's like, I think we just kind of forgot this the first time that we're going to meet.
Because Sarah, your lovely girlfriend would have been so, like, anxious anyway.
Like, meeting anyone's parents for the first time.
It's always quite like, ugh.
Yeah, she was like the first time I've met your parents.
It was like, ghosts behind me, like, feeling me up and yelling my name in my ear, like, screaming.
I was like, that's a horrible way to meet your in-laws.
That is my literal night.
compounding, as you said, Steph,
like the anxiety that comes with making sure you make a first impression,
with the literal physical anxiety that comes from going through a haunted mansion.
Yeah, but can I say, they're now that are real tight.
It was a real good bonding experience, I think after that.
You automatically, like, create stories and memories straight off the bat.
Yeah.
Like, first minute in, remember that time that we got chased by a ghost?
Like, you've got a story straight away.
It's a strategy.
So next time we meet someone's in-law is getting, like, a traffic accident or something.
Just a small one, but something that creates memories.
Oh, yeah.
Or like ice skating or something.
Ice skating?
Yeah, yeah.
Robber dairy.
No, no, no, no.
Look, okay.
Can we put it out there to see who else made the in-laws in-laws in-laws in-laws in-laws in-law?
Because that is a scary time meeting the in-laws.
Let's emphasise that.
Totally.
You know.
0-800 the edge or text of 3-343.
Think back to when you met someone's parents for the first time.
You don't need to still be with it.
Someone's parents.
You're in a relationship with them.
You met the parents during a weird activity or just.
Just something stands out.
I don't think anyone will have a worse story
than the first time they ever meet their in-laws
doing a haunted house.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
I was still living at home at the time
and I bought my partner still with Jake home
and he was a little bit tidily
so he walked into the wrong bedroom,
walking into my mum's room.
Oh, he woke her up, right?
The first time they met, yeah.
And that's when they met.
Yeah, for the first time.
Your Arvos Head Harder
with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Oh, 800, The Edge.
Got a prize up for grabs for whoever has the worst story about meeting their partner's parents.
Because I didn't realize how many shockers we've got in this room here.
Yeah, like when my lovely girlfriend, Sierra, met my parents.
It was at the Fair Factory, which is a haunted house in Wellington.
The first time they'd ever meet each other.
So it's quite a bonding experience, but it was horrible at the same time.
Anxiety's already high enough, like meeting someone's parents for the first time,
let alone getting spooked at, like, a hoarder.
Jump scares.
It's crazy.
It's insane that you didn't get ahead of that and be like, this is probably isn't right.
Yeah, I was too worried about myself.
I 800 The Edge if you've got a story as well
My partner met my mum for the first time
Me, his name's Jake
And we were out in town
And I was like, I want to come back to my house
And I was still living with my parents
And he's like, okay
And so we both had some drinks and things
And then he comes back
And then he walks into my mum's room
And she's awake
Because like, poor wee thing
She always used to stay awake
When her daughter would be up
because, you know, nervous mum and all that.
You guys probably came back like, this is my house.
This is the living room.
And then he's like, nice to meet you.
And mum's like, nice to meet you too.
She's like in and nighty in her bed in her room.
Oh, that's kind of cute.
It is not.
It's a funny story.
All right.
He almost got into bed with her mother.
That's not cute.
Oh, 800, the edge.
Let's go to Kristen in Christchurch.
Kristen, you didn't just won $20 million.
Someone won Powerball in Christchurch.
Was it you?
Oh, I'd love that, but no.
Kristen, would you tell us if you did?
Because they say don't tell your friends and family if you went Lotto.
I'd show up to the edge and I'd be coming on for an interview.
Oh, good shout.
And we'd be charging you for it.
20 mil.
Yeah, I'd pay years for me to have me on.
Oh, yeah.
Well, this one's a freebie then, Kristen.
Tell us about when you met your partner's dad.
So I met him when I was about eight years old,
and he was actually good friends with my stepdad at the time.
and then they ended up getting into a bit of an argument and had a fooling out,
and it was pretty bad.
And then eight years later, I befriended my partner, his sister,
because we went to school together, and I showed up to his house with my stepdad dropping me off,
and he did not like me.
It took a bit of convincing to tell him that this is not my actual father.
This is my stepdad, and I know that he's a POS, but I'm not him, and I'm not related to him.
Yeah, yeah, separate me away from whatever's going on here with you guys.
Yeah, good on you for sticking up for yourself.
It's hard.
It's falling up with family about eight years prior and you're like, oh, forgot about that.
That's tough.
Something bad must have happened.
Let's go to CJ in Christchurch.
You don't win 20 mil did you see J?
No, no.
Okay, never mind.
Did you?
Did you, C.J.
C.
Okay, talking, meeting, in-laws for the first time.
What's you got?
Yeah.
Okay.
So when I first met them, my emmels, I put on Bad Boy Bobby.
I put on Bad Boy Bobby when I first met them.
What's Bad Boy Bobby?
It's a movie.
What's Bad Boy?
A very interesting one.
Oh, wait, wait, Harrison's Googling it.
Is it safe to Google at a workplace?
The Wi-Fi.
Probably.
Probably, okay.
Bad boy.
What's so awkward about it?
Oh, it's a comedy movie.
Well, um,
just like,
you're horrified.
Oh, it seems like it's quite a weird
but killing parents and stuff.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's a crazy thing to do, man,
CJ.
First time you met your partner's parents
you put on a movie about killing a partner's parents.
Let's block CJ's number, I reckon.
That's not.
Your Arvose Head Harder with Sean,
Steph and Harrison
The Edge
And you may have heard
the viral clips
or seen them on TikTok
of The Edge Breakfast
Clint Meg and Dan
doing their Hit the Spot challenge
Yeah we're just a song
that where you play on The Edge
would start
And then normally Dan we'd be
Or any of them
But mainly Dan will start singing along
With the song
And then the music disappears
And it goes silent
But Dan singing continues
And then the point of the game
Is to match
Exactly when the beat comes back up
perfectly with the song.
You sunk your teeth into me.
Sucker, fame crusher, bleed me dry like a goddamn vampire.
A great example.
Yeah, he's really good.
Can I be honest?
That is very cool.
I had to know that was a thing.
What?
Well, I sleep through the breakfast show.
I don't know that was a thing on their show.
What is that called?
Hit the Spot.
Yeah, the Hit the Spot Challenge.
Because I was in the kitchen having lunch, and I saw a pot,
and there was a drumstick line.
I was like, oh, hit the Pot Challenge would be quite,
fun if I had it right on the beat of a song.
Wait, so you've never heard...
I didn't know, oh, this is awkward.
It's awkward.
I have no idea about that one.
Because it seems to me like you've heard that and then just changed one word and brought
in a pot into the studio.
Wiped the yes off it?
Yeah.
Nah.
Yeah, it seems very inspired by the viral Hit the Spot Challenge from our exact same radio station.
Really?
So is this why there's a pot and a drumstick in studio?
Yes.
For Hit the Pot.
The Pot challenge.
How does this work then?
So the song, Phil Collins, something in the air is going to play.
And on the classic drum solo
I'm going to do it
in the silence.
Okay.
I'm going to keep the beat
and I'm going to hit it on
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
Do you keep singing like Dan it would hit the spot
or no it's just the drums.
It's all in here pointing to my head.
So people are here like dead air for a bit.
Yeah and then they'll hear the drums
or go straight into music and it'll just be like the perfect timing.
Okay cool.
Let's do it.
All righty.
Sure.
This is the first ever hit the pot challenge
on the edge, Arvos.
Focus, Harrison.
You can do this, mate.
I believe in you.
Nervous.
So close.
One more?
One more?
I don't think so, yeah.
One more.
One more.
Okay, give him one more shot.
Get harder.
With Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Sean's five-star fact.
You know, I've been doing a five-star fact on the show every day for you to have pointed it out today.
Eight months.
which does seem like a lot of time.
I don't feel like I'm in need of an ultimatum,
but you two have pitched.
Yeah, we want the people to help you out, Sean,
so we are hitting the road.
Next Wednesday, Daniedon,
next Thursday, in Vercorgal,
next Friday, the beautiful Queensland.
We are going to be in your hood,
if you live in those areas,
and we invite you to come down
and share any fact with us,
and if we find a five-star fact by the people,
a fact good enough that us, judges,
deem it five star is worthy,
then the segment will be saved.
Now I'm a little, I guess, upset at this
because I've had so many great facts
over my tenure here doing these five-star facts.
I'd love to take us down memory lane a little bit
to some of the greatest facts from the last eight months
if it's okay with you guys.
All the ones that didn't get fives?
Yeah.
Every fact that didn't.
And did.
Like this one.
Bring in Tammy from Briscoes.
Oh my God, the Briscoes lady just are all good.
is happening.
So me and Tammy from Briscoes are close friends.
That's where?
Hello, Sean.
There was a great home wearsey fact that I'd found and I thought,
part of it is performance.
Who better to perform the fact than Tammy from Briscoe's.
Oh, much.
Take it away.
Okay.
The average mattress doubles in weight over 10 years.
Why?
I think I see right.
Because of dust mites and dead.
skin.
I'm going to give it a five.
There you go, guys.
That's a five-star fact.
From Tammy the Briscoe's lady, yes.
Which I brought her in for and did the performance.
I kind of got her in for it.
No, no, no, no, no.
You can't claim that one.
You can't claim that one.
Okay, what about this one?
This deserved high ratings.
Today's five-star factors.
There is a smoke alarm for the deaf.
It was invented by a Japanese scientist.
This life-saving device works by spraying vaporized
wasabi into the air,
which notifies deaf people of a fond.
and can even wake them up when they're sleeping.
I don't know, it doesn't feel like a cool fact.
Just not feeling it.
Care what you say, Sam.
Famously hates deaf people.
I do, absolutely do not.
Nearly a one.
Nearly a one.
A one.
Okay.
See, that felt on fear.
That was funny.
That was funny.
What about this historically accurate fact
that you guys couldn't get past one little bit of information?
In World War II, the Germans were specifically trained to eat with their left hand,
so that finding spies from other countries were
would be easier to spot as nine out of ten people are right-handed.
Pull up in a German.
Oh, it's good.
And the Nazis.
Yeah.
I don't love that it's a Nazi fact.
I think it's crazy.
We've stripped back the criteria.
The day after you have found out you do a Nazi fact.
Great to Nazi facts.
I haven't let it with it.
It's not a Nazi fact.
No, literally that's one of this.
You've tiptoed very much around him.
At the end of the day, it's a Nazi fact.
The German soldier from World War II fact.
It kind of has brought the mood.
down, to be honest.
0.5.
Shocking you'd even replay that one, man.
Controversial, bro.
So if you've just joined us,
these are all facts
that we're not worthy of a five-star rating.
And now you see,
maybe you start something to understand
this is why we need to hit the road next week
for the people's help
because you suck at this, Sean.
Okay, three days, unlimited facts
to need in, Queenstown and Invercargo
come through.
Help me get this five-star fact.
Your avos head harder.
With Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Over the weekend, guys, something occurred to me.
I had an epiphany that, you know, like the Prime Minister's solving other problems like,
like, oh, getting rid of the credit card surcharges when you pay for things
and you won't have to pay your surcharge anymore.
So he's doing that stuff.
He's changing NCAA or getting rid of it or whatever.
He's up to all this other stuff.
But what I've realized over the weekend is he actually needs to be solving a much bigger issue
than our education and people's money troubles.
Bigger than those issues you say?
Which are pretty big now that I say that out loud.
Oh, the racism maybe?
No, no.
Well, yes that.
Bigger than racism.
But this is just a little thought that I've had over the weekend
and where I think our tax money could go.
I just can't interrupt you here and say it's pretty a very big thought
if you think it's bigger than those things that we've just listed out.
Well, now that I'm saying it out, maybe on par.
Maybe on par.
Well, all the rest of them.
but have you guys ever been in the pickle that I was in on the weekend
where I'm about to go to a social event
but I'm like crashing hard with energy and I need a coffee
and so I swing by a little drive-thru
and I get a little ice latte number
and then I go to my social event
and I've got like anxiety the whole time because I haven't had time to
Because you've just had a coffee?
No no.
Because it's a double-truck coffee for the fourth time in the day.
So I'm like panicking because I'm like oh my God
I've got coffee breath and everyone's going to smell it on me
and I couldn't like stop anywhere because of the baby in the back
and I can't stop anywhere and go to the dairy
because it's impossible.
You can't.
So with every coffee sale in New Zealand,
you should absolutely be offered a mint
or at least one stick of gum.
I actually like that.
I think you should make it like an opt-in policy
like the flake and an ice cream.
By law.
I think to the policy you know when you go to a cafe
and you get a hot chocolate,
you get a chocolate fish or a marshmallow on top of the cup,
make it a mint.
Yeah.
That's a good idea.
Exactly.
Exactly, because...
Not with a hot chocolate.
Well, no, you can keep the fish with the hot chocolate.
But with the coffee, because so often you're, like, drinking a coffee and then you're like,
oh no, I stink, and then there's nowhere to, like, get anything.
So I think it should be law that whenever you purchase a coffee, you have to either be given a mentor or a stick of gum.
You drink a lot of coffee, eh?
Yeah.
Like, today, how many coffers you had?
Three.
Does it not affect you?
I've had to just quit coffee because it affects me so much.
Yeah, in my early 20s, I went through really bad anxiety.
I stopped drinking coffee for two years
because it was really bad.
I reckon I'm on that right now.
Yeah.
Oh really?
Yeah, yeah, I've had to stop.
Yeah, nah.
It's okay, but I look at you going three.
I'm like, oh my God.
My heart may stop if I have three.
I would, I could do more, but I have to, I have to really stop myself at three.
No, I reckon I could do five.
Oh my gosh, truly, truly, truly.
Only six of gum did you have today?
No, none.
That's my point.
And it shows.
Ad says, my.
Yeah.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, I hope you enjoyed the podcast.
Thanks so much for listening to it.
Harrison, I've noticed that you have started labeling your emotional support volleyball.
Yes.
For context, do you want to explain what's going on with it?
That's because there's just been a few, what do you call it?
Fucking sticky fingers around the office.
I don't know.
People have been nipping the volleyball away and keeping on their desk.
When you explain first that Harrison got given a volleyball as what I assume is like a PR package gift.
and now I love carrying it around so much
that he takes it home and brings it back every day.
But it was a bit of a sign, like, I didn't need one.
Well, actually, my dog died,
and then a day later there was a box at work,
and this box had a volleyball in it.
And it was just a volleyball.
I was like, cool.
I just haven't let it go.
Well, no, the timing's a bit off there
because my dog came in, played with the volleyball.
I see the teeth marks, and then your dog died.
So nothing to do with my dead dog.
No, but it could be.
I don't know.
And now I just have it.
And it's just like, it's like your fidget spinner.
It's like your, it's like your hair tie and your wrist you love to play it with.
Mine just happens to be a Wilson volleyball that has the handprint from the movie castaway,
which I've never seen.
And I just carry everywhere.
So my question is everywhere, even on the weekends, or just Monday to Friday?
Me and I, Lollipanda Sarah, walk every Sunday around the bays here in Auckland,
and this always comes out with us.
Really?
Does it?
Yeah, but like at home and stuff, no.
It's just kind of a work thing
So the update is that you use the label maker
Just say it's Harrison on it
And you put it on the volleyball
Is that because people keep taking it?
Yeah, they do
Well, I can always recognise it from your dog Larry's bite marks
Yeah, sorry
That's okay
It helps but I don't have to put Harrison on as well
Because people just kind of
Keeping it their desk like that
I think people think
Because I always have it
I think people were taking that as
It must be a workplace ball
Oh yeah
Because we've got basketball hoops outside
You know what to buy
I think this is like
No no no
It's not
I can give it back
I've had awkward conversations
Like how to go
Hey sorry I've got my ball
People are like
There's no way he'd take that home
And bring it back every day
Yeah because I put it in my car every night
I'm bringing it into work
It's just like good
To bounce around a ball
It's
Yeah
I don't know
There's not much to it
I click a pen
Maybe the equivalent
Maybe I fiddle
I'm with you
I'm such a fidgeter
I'll fiddle with this little
Hedgehog key ring
Oh see that's
See that didn't
feel right for me. Grateful for the headchild who
ever sent those. But it doesn't
feel right in my hands. Don't a good fidget thing for me
personally. You want more of a
more girth to it? Yeah. Who's someone
else's a ball as well, like a tennis ball. I can't remember. Someone from the
office is a tennis ball that they always have.
Hmm. Yeah. So I guess
it was like it's normalise having something to fidget
with. If you like it.
Yeah. If you like it, give it a fiddle.
That's it. Within reason.
My uncle told me that.
Oh.
The Edge.
