Clint Megan Dan with Ash London at 7 a.m. and 8 a.m or you can play here tomorrow at 3pm. Next on the show, one photo had me blubbering like a baby this morning in public. Oh, did you like the photo that I sent you? No, you never messaged me, so no.

Your Arvos Hit Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. So I've got a 15-month-old baby, and this morning I was doing Kendi drop-off like I do every morning, but something happened. Something happened at the Kindi reception where they say, Steph, have you seen Rocco's photos yet? Oh, God, I think you said, have you seen Rocco? He's missing.

No, no, no, he was with me. And so a couple of weeks ago, he got his, like, class photo done, and, you know, like, back at school they take, like, solo shots of you? Well, I hadn't seen them yet, and so she finds his little folder, and she puts it on the reception desk for me, and I just start bawling. I it's not even like I mean I obviously think he's like the cutest thing in the world but like it's an okay photo

it's more just like I can't believe that he's in the big wide world and he's taking a class photo and he's like a real person and this is like the start of his life and his first little solo photo I just got me really really emotional just think like I still can't even believe

that he's mine and then I'm a mum and that I've got a baby like it still is mind-blowing to me and there he is in his first little photo. It's just crazy. And it got me thinking because like I've been to a fair few people's, you know, parents' houses especially, or just anyone's houses. And you know, those classic photographer photos on the wall, you know, like solo shots with the blue, blurry background and you're sitting there on the stool and you're smiling. And it's like from ages when Rock was 15 months all the way through school, it's like these classic

Kiwi photographer school photos. They're always so cheesy as well. They're always like looking at people's houses being like I would never have that on my wall. Like put it in a book, put it in a wardrobe, like tuck it away, like look at it every so often. Like I'm not walking past it every day like please.

But guys I can't wait to hangargo's photo on the wall. I've changed. Wow, did you buy them? I bought all of them. I bought the whole package. There's like eight different sizes of photo and I'm framing every single one of them and they are all going. I know they're the identical photo, but they're all going on a gallery wall in my hallway and I want to look at it every single day.

Like I get it. I finally get it. It's clearly to do with you being the mother of this child, but you just showed me and Sean the photo. And it's really cute. And you look at it and go like, oh my gosh, he's so grown up, it's so scary how grown up he is.

Yeah. To me, he looks like a 15-year-old baby. 50-month-old baby. Yeah, yeah. Like he looks like a baby to me. I'm just a cute baby photo. But you're going, man, look at him. He's starting in the office tomorrow.

I know. It's like all going so fast. It's so sad how quickly it all goes, right? I mean, producer, Sam, you're a mum. You've got a 14-year-old. So you know more than anybody how quickly it all goes. So fast. It's insane.

Do you have any school photos on your hallway wall gallery style? I actually don't, but only for the reason that I'm a photographer. So I can actually, I have the biggest gallery wall envisioned, and I just can't get around to doing it. True. Too many photos. The photos that they take are never really. up to par of what you'd do?

Oh, those, yeah. Oh, no, yeah, I'd put my photos in the wall, not my school photo, not the school photo. Can you talk about a second, Steph? When you got shown this photo at the kindergarten today, you just started weeping in the middle of the kindergarten. Did anyone react to you? Is this woman okay?

Yeah, no, not really. And there was another kind of mother just doing drop off at the same time as me who was just emotionless. And she was like, oh, yeah, gizzolip. I was like, oh, oh, my baby. See, I thought you were going to cry together. No, she was just like, oh, yeah, I'll buy those. Is that like the difference between someone maybe on kid number four?

Yeah. Who's like, Bruce and Nurse Sam's nodding. Yeah, definitely. Your first kid, it's like this new feeling and you see the photo and you're like, oh my God, I've created a human and I'm there in the world doing school things like other humans do. But then, yeah, second kid, you're like, oh yeah, more money. Same old, same old. Yeah, how much money did they want for me today?

Enjoy it well at last, their beautiful moment today. I cried all the way home, honestly. I'm surprised I'm not crying. Up next on the edge of us. A couple weeks ago, we were shocked to learn that. producer, Nurse Sam's Kids School Bell is Dave Dobbin, welcome home.

Oh, that's insane. That is insane. That really happened. Yeah, and so we put it out to other listeners or what their kids' school bell is and, yeah, we're pretty shocked at how unique they are. We're doing it again? Yeah, I'm doing it again.

Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Ding! Dong! Oh, the town bell's ringing, guys. Yeah, that name. ball really. And we're talking school bells, guys. Oh, it's more like...

No, it's more like... Well, that's the thing. These are your classic bells, you know? Like back in Ireland's in school, we had the hand bell. Oh, because you went to like a country school, eh? A country school, yeah, yeah. So we'd have turns of doing bell duty. Old school. But the other day, producer nurse Sam mentioned that one of her kids who goes to school, their song is Welcome Home by Dave Dobbin.

Welcome home. Yeah. Wait, so that's the bell. So when the school day starts, it goes welcome home. Wouldn't that make like a little kid who is like just starting out at school and a little bit shy and like just want to go home? Sadder? It's a sad song. Apparently it's meant to calm them or something.

So they have to play April royalties on that? Producer Sam, what's going on? Okay, first of all, it's not my daughter's school. It's a friend's child school in South Auckland. And it's the mouldy version of this song. The Tereo. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

But it's supposed to keep the kids calm. Because I guess hearing the bell is quite stressful, depending on the aggressiveness of the brr-r-ring. You know, it's kind of... It's harsh. I don't want to say that kids nowadays are all snowflakes, but that is what I loved about the bell. It was harsh.

You knew when the bell hit, you're like, God, that is letting me know that it's lunchtime. Get your butt to class. Exactly. So we posted this video of us talking about this on our Instagram at Air Javvos. And there's lots of comments within there of other bells that were being played. So I've gotten down. Wait, this is a thing nowadays schools just pick pop songs and make it the bell.

All over new. Like, Sean, you're away and we talked about this. But everyone was calling in an own age and telling us about what bells their kids have. And it's pretty out the gate. Like, you wouldn't expect it. That's insane. What are some of the comments? There's some sounds for you that you want to click on one of them.

Waka Waka. Waka. That's someone's school bell. That's somebody's school bell. It's like, it's recess. It's done for Africa. It's pretty good. E, eh, eh, waka, waka, eh, eh, eh.

It's pretty good. And I'd be happy at this much time. Helly. So this is someone's school bell as well. Yep. Trace and Maraz, I'm yours. Yeah, it's given nap time. Maybe it's a kindi.

Oh, yeah. No, it's nice to relax, though, isn't it? Really? But why would you pick? I'm still sick of this song. Kind of like 20 years ago. Yeah, so they need updating that. one I think.

Another one? I like to move it, move it. Yeah, I like to. Move it. I like to move it. Hell yeah. But if the intention is like producer, nurse Sam said to calm the children down, this song's not doing it.

No. That's giving jump jam. It's moving to class. Yeah, maybe. All right, this is another one. This is crazy. I didn't know if people just use songs. These are all legit.

These are all from New Zealand, too. I want to hear them coming through those real tinny bell speakers, though. It won't sound like this. It sounds like the music and in-flight, like, when you land. It's like, whee- There's a good point. You'd be shocking. So, O eight hundred to the Edge, what is your school bell? What is your kid's school bell?

Okay, I like that. We've got a lot of texts coming through already of people suggesting what their school bells are. Heaps of pop songs, texting New Zealand songs. This is so interesting to me. I did not know this is a thing. Can we also next pitch, if we were a principal of a school, what school bell we'd do? Oh, yeah. Because I've got quite a good idea.

Since we last had this conversation, I've made a playlist. Okay, we're going to be next. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. I'm shocked to learn that the old school bells that I grew up on back in my day, which was or something like that. That's no longer. And kids nowadays are having songs play on their school into calm.

Yeah, we talked about this a couple weeks ago when you were away, Sean. And we made a video out of it. So many people left to comment about different schools across Altiroa. with not your generic boring ding-dong bell anymore. And they're normally really fun songs. So we want to know from you on 0800 The Edge, what is your kids' school bell, or maybe back in the day? You had a fun bell that wasn't a normal bell.

And Emma's here. Hello, Emma. Hi. Hi. So is it your kids' current school? No, I'm a teacher. So, teach at the school. Amazing.

And so instead of a boring, normal school bell, what have you guys got? It's in the Ba Dula Lita. Yeah, it's different ones during the day. Halfway through the day, they've got living on a prayer as well. Oh my gosh. It's funky. It's a groovy school. But my thing, Emma, is if I make, like, a song, my alarm in the morning,

I get really sick of that song and I start to hate that song. Does the same thing happen? Because I imagine training season from Dula Leapie, hearing that every single day would be heaven. Yeah, it starts singing and dancing, so it is quite wholesome. So cute. It's a good thing, though. It's really, really cute.

I think that song's like appropriate. to go out of class to lunch, but then come back to class. Yeah, but you're training your brain. It's training, it's training season. It's training season. Training and Matt, training and art. All the training. Thank you, Emma, and thank you for being

such an amazing teacher. Kelly's here from Hamilton and 0800 the edge. Kelly, your school used to do a fun bell, but the residents around the school complained. Yeah. My brain kids go and still in Frankton, and I was dropping them off one day, And I scared the heck out of me

that's just our start of school and our lunch break songs and I was like, oh, that's cool. A couple weeks later I dropped off my, hey, what happened to the cool song? Oh, our teachers told us we weren't allowed them anymore because some of the residents

around the school were complaining that this music that they were playing was disrupting their daily duties. Crazy. That's one sad old dude who's so lonely and so just looking for something to be upset about. It's drop their guard.

Yeah, and it really upset the kids because one of my granddaughters was dancing along to it on the way to her class. And when I was walking to her to a class, we would dance along with it and there were all the kids laughed and they were, all the kids laughed. And it was like, you've got to have fun when you get at school. This is so cute.

Yeah. Booze, the locals. That's so dumb that they made that go away. Now, since you found this out, Harrison, you started a playlist of songs that you think would make great school bells. Yeah, yeah, and I've just kind of cloud it for when I do become principal. Did you guys think of a song as well?

I've got an idea. Can I pitch to you mine? Sure. So imagine this. So you're in PE. And then, oh, the school bell goes, it's time to eat. Carol Baskin. Can't convince me that it didn't happen.

So none of the kid of the school will know this reference. Yeah, it's just still like kind of funky beat, isn't it? It's a funky beat. And all the teachers are like, oh, yeah. Few notes. Really triggering of lockdown, that song. It's references to someone being killed by a tiger, which I don't think is appropriate for children.

Interpretations. But it doesn't have a funky beat. Harrison, what are you? Mine is like, after a long lunch they're naked, this is the song that will definitely get them back to class. It's kind of scared. It's kind of scared the kids back in the class, you know. I don't know about playing Michael Jackson.

MJ's behind you. Yeah, that's quite terrifying, actually. It didn't get the reference at all, obviously. That's why. What if you go, Sean, instead of a normal school bowel, what would be your dream? Well, this would be mine, because this song evokes so much emotion within me. I think I've never heard this and felt stressed. I've never heard this and felt worried.

Is this. When you're going out to lunch, these are the positive ones, and then when you need to get back into class, it's this. So it's a little bit of a juxtaposition. Oh, we're back to work now and then we're going out to play, guys. I love that. But now it's serious time. I love these ideas. How about this text?

My son's school in Toeport doesn't use any bells at all. The kids just have to know what time every subject begins and they're just expected to be there. Jeez. That's more real-world application in that one, though. I love that. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

We're going to learn about what Harrison's doing to kind of procure a superhero powers for himself and I'm very interested to hear that. But some big Taylor Swift news is dropping in 40 seconds. So I figure we just have to do this live. Okay. down to 35 seconds, and I'm on her official website. There's been this countdown clock

for the last couple of hours. Something's happening and now 28 seconds. What's her website called? It's just taylorswift.com. Taylor. And there's been all these... Taylor. Twiff. Dot G-O-V-T. Is that with an E-R-O-W? 20 seconds. There's been all these clues all day long, alluding to the fact that

something big is coming 14 seconds. And so we know that she's going to be on Travis Kelsey her boyfriend's podcast tomorrow. So we know that that's happening. But this has got to be something else. Oh, my God, seven seconds. So the color scheme is like orange glittery, which is a new colour for her.

Every album corresponds to a different colour. Okay, we're on time. Okay, I'm on the website. The time's expired. What do I do now? Is anything going to happen? Should I refresh it? It just reads, expires August 12th at 12.

Yeah, that's exactly what it says for me as well. Okay, is anyone else in? Has anyone else seen anything? What's the website? Expires August 12 at 12. Oh, my connection's dropped out. Okay, it says, expires August 12.

That's... Oh, oh! Oh! Look, what does that... What does that mean? Gateway time out. The Wi-Fi's not working. The web page is not... Oh, it's taking me to a store.

It's taken me to a store. It means Wi-Fi's not working. Does it want to buy me... Is it making me buy something? Yeah, no, mine's crashed as well. It's crashed. It's crashed. There's too many Swifties around planet Earth trying to go to Taylor Swift.

I think everyone in the office is trying to do this at the same time, possibly, as well. Yeah. No, are you in? Are you guys in? No, everyone in the office is saying it's out for our head. Okay, it says 503, service temporarily unavailable. It's an interesting single title for you. What do you mean?

I'm not sure if it's... So you know a lot about the Taylor Law. What's the reasoning behind that? Well, okay, so the reasoning behind this title is, well, obviously 503, not her favorite number, but just numbers in general. Are you in? Pre-order the life of a show girl. She's got a new album.

She's got a new album. Oh my mom! Wait, show me your computer! Oh my god, my God, my God, my God, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, so... The album is called The Life of a Showgirl. I'm sure if this is just a single or the name of an album, but it is on vinyl cassette and CD. So it is new Taylor Swift music. The color scheme is orange glittery, and that's all they're And it's like an orange padlock. Oh my God, so she wants us to buy all this. Okay, so if you just tuned in, there was an announcement.

Taylor still said this countdown on a website that finished exactly one minute ago. And the announcement seems to be a brand new album. Oh, I think if you buy it, because it's like the album's got like an orange padlock on it and blue with the image. So we can't see what the cover art is. Damn it. So maybe if you buy it, you get to see what the cover art is. So it's just pre-order at the moment. See?

Taylor. God. What a waste of Taylor. I'm invented pre-ordering. Honestly, I'm not pre-ordering it. I just want it now. Why would you announce us and blur out the album I would? Oh, I'm so mad, but I'm so excited at the same time.

Okay, anyway, guys, Taylor Swift is bringing out new music. It's called The Life of a Showgirl, and that's kind of all that we just found out. Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. But you're more exciting. Me. Okay, yeah. Really?

The way you looked at me both is actually outrageous. Well, you've said you're more exciting than Taylor Swift, so I thought you're going to follow it up with something really... Well, I'm trying to say I'm a superhuman. Okay? And no, I'm not taking droids, even though I may look at, but that is not why I'm becoming a superhuman. Guys, I started reading, as you know.

Yeah. And I feel so much smart. My brain feels like it's growing. Like, it's actually my scalp is cracking open. I've got so much knowledge in my heat at the moment. You read one book, and it's a fiction book. Yep. And it's a short read.

Yep. But it's good. I don't want to discourage it. It's good. It's the book that I just finished reading as well. It's called The House. made. Very short chapters, like two pages a chapter. Yeah, but it is a 350 page book.

Okay. I would call it a short read, large font. Sean, we're being bad friends here. We need to support Harrison and his reading journey, so you've done very well. I think it's really good, man. Thank you. I've already halfway through my second book, two days in. Pretty massive. You know, I started doing epidestrous. So that's something that I've been doing at the moment as well. You're doing ampedicrous.

I'm doing apodextrous. It sounds like a drug. No, no, no, I'm not doing drugs. I'm using both my hands. So my right hand is my don't want a hand, but I'm now using my left hand. So I'm drinking with my left. I'm wiping with my left.

Everything is to do with my left. Which is a very strong thing to do. Apparently it stops you from getting a stroke, my girlfriend told me. What your girlfriend told you is that if you get a stroke, you need to work to, if you get a stroke in the right half of your body, you need to be able to use your left hand.

No, she said, don't, she did say that. So it's not to prevent a stroke. It's to preempt getting a stroke and then be able to deal with it. And live life. It's really sad. Catch again.

Catch again. No No See Working on it It's a slow worker But something I started doing This morning

You guys will be proud of me I started drinking tea I don't drink tea It's good I was a coffee guy Maybe very anxious Riddle with anxiety Shits for days

So I decided to go for tea This morning is my first tea Which kind of tea you're rocking Peppermint Oh wow But I hit porter and then I went to go have a drink and I was like whoa that's really strong

and I pulled the mug down and the tea bag was stuck to my lip and so I just sucked the tea bag I was like oh that's pretty good though so here's a little hack that I've been doing I then went to the sink tipped out all the water and I'm just sucking bags I'm just sucking on the tea bag okay I don't like and it wakes me up it feels

Like my body feels good, my insides feel good. Are you legit? I swear this is a real thing. So now... How many tea bags are you going through in the morning? This morning was only three. Okay. And so how long would you suck a bag for?

Till it's dry. Which takes... Oh, 10? 10 minutes. That's disgusting. That's half an hour this morning of you sucking on a tea bag. Honest to God, you want to listen, you need to try it. You should go back to reading.

No, just suck the tea bags. Your Arvos hit harder with Sean. and Harrison. The Edge. The People's Mascots. You have decided the people's mascot will be the Edge Hedge. A hedge mascot. We're getting a mascot costume made at the moment.

But on this journey, we do need to learn a little bit more about what it takes to be a mascot, what makes a good mascot. Yeah, a huge question that we are still wondering to ourselves on what the answer is. What is a mascot? Nah. I reckon we've got that one. So I know, the question I was thinking was, will our mascot speak? And if it does talk, what will it sound like?

Yeah, because I think historically, mascots don't talk. Yeah, but there are some rare mascots out there that do have fun, funny voices. And one of those mascots, now retired, joins us on the phone right now. Please welcome to the show, mascot of Rainbow Zend, now retired, so you won't see them there anymore. But please welcome Kitty Cool to the show. Well, hey there, everyone. How are you going? That is the name that I haven't heard for the better half of a decade. Boy, was I cool.

Really? What made you so cool, Kitty cool? Well, I had a leather jacket on and used to attend many and lully scramble. And the kids used to absolutely love it. Those were the heydays. I see you mentioned my employer's name. I explicitly told you not to mention them after the incident. I was asked to sign a non-disclosure.

agreement. Can you give us just a like a headline of what the incident may have been? It was a very rough time. We used to do lolly scrambles on the center stage. What they don't tell you, the academy is 10% of children are complete psychopaths. Yeah. My colleagues at Priscilla Fitzgerald Puss. She came out looking as wonderful as ever with a basket of lollies.

She had a big head and a gorgeous smile. It was a beautiful day like today. she twisted her ankle and fell on the floor and lollies scattered everywhere. Before you know, the kids, they swarmed the stage and they tore her to pieces like a damn pinata. Okay, when I heard, producer nurse Sam Teatler's interview, she used to work at Rainbow's End,

just a mascot with a great voice. You do sound a little like Morgan Freeman narrating any movie he's ever been. I expect you to kind of high-pitch animated kiddie voice. I was thinking it way less sleazy. It's a little sleazy. A little sleazy. It's been a rough decade.

True. When I was Kitty Cool, we were ordered not to talk, so I just stayed silent. That big arm gestures and waved and smiled to the cameras. Kitty Cool, can I ask, how did that make you feel? Because we're in a process at the moment where we don't know whether our own mascot, the Edge Hedge, will indeed speak or not. Did you feel suppressed not having a voice? Should we give our Hedge the right to talk?

Well, my fear is if they heard my voice, they might, or the kids might freak out. So they kept me quiet and that was fine. I would just wave and give hugs. My employer, they preferred that we didn't speak. I think that's smart. I think going, come here, child, have a hug. Is it the wrong tone? Yeah.

Yes. Okay. Well, lots to think about. Yeah, we had a few questions, but I think we've got enough from Hiddy Call. Oh, are you sure? You don't get too much human contact these days. My psychiatrist is saying that I've moved. Thanks, I'm just going to bring it out.

Can we get up, producer nurse Sam? Can we get like a meal on wheels out to him or something? Sam, can we even block that number from the system? Is that? Kitty Cole, thank you so much. Thank you, Kitty, cool. A real-life mascot. Now retired, joining us on the show.

Calling from prison. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We just heard in scandal, a story about, Jaylo over the weekend performing in Kazakhstan my wife now he set you up there Harrison

It's really waiting for Harrison to go a more impression Yeah a little bit late Yeah and a massive cricket Was climbing up her body End up going on to her neck And the crowd was like ah And honestly if it was me I would be screaming

But she handled it like an absolute pro We want to know When you haven't handled an insect like a pro When did an insect ruin your day Courtney from Christchurch is here. Courtney, first of all, did you just win $20 million? Oh, God, I wish. No, I got a personal loan.

Ah, so the opposite. Same, same, same. Tell us about what happened to you at a hotel room. Yeah, so when I arrived in Raritonga, it was probably 2 in the morning, and I was like, okay, I'll block out the sunlight, so it doesn't wake me up in the morning. and as I'm placing a cushion and a towel near the door to block the sun that would come in,

my brain registered something, but my eyes didn't. And only seconds later, the most biggest Huntsman spider I have ever seen in my life climbs out from underneath the towel. And I absolutely freaked out and did not sleep that night. Of course, course not. What'd you do, fly spray? Yes, it galloped at.

me. They gallops. It's a big spider. Yeah, it doesn't run. They gallop. I'm imagining the big spider from Harry Potter right now. Anyone else? Yeah, absolutely.

Massive. If I see that, I'm getting the fly spray and maybe a lighter as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Terrifying, corny. A similar thing happened, not a spider, but again at a hotel room in Rarotonga in the kettle.

You know, just the biggest cockroach I've ever seen. In the kettle. In the kettle. Like, both empty. And so I went to fill it up and then What'd you do? Panicked.

Panicked and asked to change rooms, actually. You're joking. Yeah, no, I took the first flight home. Just jumped on a plane. You're so picky. There's something about Kiwis. We don't have that many scary bugs. I got a bit by a wetter once, but like when you go to these islands and stuff

and you see a giant spider or a giant cockroach for the first time, it's jarring. Yeah. A few texts here. A cockroach nearly made me drive off the road. Well, I used to get bullied in a primary school, and one of the things that my bully used to do was put a cockroach in my ear. Oh, no.

And then it crawl around just in my ear. So now I'm real scared of cockroaches. Oh, that's so sad. All because my hair was orange chairs. Oh, that's so mean. Is that a true story? True story. That's awful.

Yeah, it's not got a phobia with them. That's really awful. Yeah. Someone else, my mum crashed her car a couple of weeks ago. She's fine, but she got spooked by a spider in the car. And the car was a ride-off. Oh my God. I hate that to have it in a car.

You're scary. No, no. No. Scary, scary. All right, let's go to Kara from Invercargo, and 0-800 the edge. JLo. She handled a ginormous insect pretty well, but you didn't when it was a hornet. What happened to you, Kara?

I was in Bali in a pool living my best life, and a hornet sung me. And I was holding my eight months old at the time, and I just completely freaked out and just threw my eight months away into the pool and was just worried about myself and my forefinger. Oh, God. Sorry, sorry, I hope your finger's okay. How's the eight-month-old? Yeah, luckily my husband was in the pool to rescue said child. I'll feel off.

You didn't quite mention that bit, but, Cara, we were out to call cops. Sheepers. Through the child. I get it, though. It's like, you panic. Totally freaked out. But, yeah, did not handle it well. Absolutely not like J-Lo.

Also, I think the Hornet Sting is like extra, extra sore, like soarer than a wasp, right? Yeah, I didn't know. Yeah, and then I just had to spend my day just not exploring bail. and just feeling sorry for myself. True. True. That's a great story, Kara. We're going to hook you up with our Edge Musty Movie.

Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. On a journey, I've been a few journeys on this radio show, and one of them has been to provide you with. Sean's five-star fact. A five-star fact. Now, has it gone my way yet? No.

No. Have I received quite a few five stars individually of these facts? Yes. No. Not heaps. Not heaps. I think two maybe from guests. And you started in January, Sean.

Terrible, like, strike rate. Yeah, so that is the aim of the game, though. We're going to hear a fact from Sean and your judging committee, like it is every day. Harrison, myself, Steph and producer, nurse, Sam. We're going to hear this fact, and we're going to see if it's worthy of five stars. We're looking for a fact that's shareable,

that's original, and that's well-performed. I think today's one's going to shock everyone. Okay. This is the fact that when I learned it, I was like, wow, I will never look at this creature the same again. Well, that's exactly what we're looking for. Wow. Yeah, wow, well, factor. Today's five-star fact is dolphins can only hold their breath for 10 minutes.

Huh. Is that not crazy? Like, I know that they've got blowholes and that they don't, like, they need to hold their breath. But 10 minutes is not a lot of time. Where did they sleep? Sean, where do they sleep? Where do dolphins sleep? And they can only hold it for 10 minutes at a time.

Within 10 minutes of the surface, I assume. Is it like humans breathing? Like during sleep, we don't really think about breathing. We never think about breathing. But especially during sleep, you're just unconscious. So maybe a dolphin's like floating to the surface and out the blowhole. Yeah. And then going back down and they're just unconscious doing it.

See, I feel like with virtually discussing here. It's a bit of fact. I think dolphins never sleep or dolphins sleep swim. Something like that I think is actually the fact that they're in a knob Do dolphins sleep? Sleep swim. Sleep swimming. Actually not 10 minutes at a time do they sleep.

That's insane. Yeah, how do dolphins breathe while they sleep? Whoa, this is interesting. They can't afford to be completely unconscious because they need to control their breathing. Wow, so they never sleep. They half sleep. Great.

Had that been the fact? Come on, man. That would have been a great fact. Come on. Okay, sorry, allow me to do it again. Nope. Today's five stuff factors. Blah-la-la-la-la-la.

Sorry, we already heard that back. than your one. But is that not alone? That's quite interesting, right? You'd think a dolphin can hold its breath for longer than 10 minutes. Yeah, but they jump a lot. So I think the sleeping one's more impressive than that.

I agree. It's the first thing you think of. How do they sleep? It's the first thing you think of. But humans can hold their breath for 10 minutes. Probably. And we sleep in bed. Yeah, but...

Okay, well, let's go to the judging committee. Producer Nurse Sam. You guys just... Oh, I love when you guys just throw it to me. and I too am a little bit disappointed I feel real bad but yeah 10 minutes isn't that I mean it's not that long but

dolphins do live on the surface mostly Okay well sorry You guys are experts on dolphins I thought that was an amazing fact Yeah A back chat from our So much back chat I'm going to give it

I'm going to give it a three Wow generous Generous Sean I hate when we have to outfactor you on your five-star facts. It always feels a little bit good though too. It feels amazing, but it's just for judging wise, I hate it because it's hard to judge.

I'm going to give you a zero. It's just outfactored you and it just, yeah. Sorry, man. You bought it up, I googled it and found the info. And on that, and on that reason, I give you a 0.5 because we wouldn't have got to the sleep without Sean's initial facts. That's very true. But yours just kind of sucked there, Sean.

And this is exactly why we're hitting the road to help you. Cue the other. Spitting facts. Sean sucks at finding facts, guys. And this is just more evidence of it, what you just witnessed over the last few minutes. So next week, we're going to be going to Deneiden, going to Invercargo, going to Queensland, to find once and for all finally a five-star fact. And you listening, the people, I hear you.

listening, the people I know will have the goods. Well, speaking of, I've got an update on that because I've accepted this ultimatum. I firmly believe I will get a five-star fact in this week of the Fact Tour. I've talked to the big boss today and I've managed to secure an incentive for people to come out and deliver the facts.

A financial incentive. All right, so I'll give it to you next. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The Edge Avos Fact Tour. You got to give him that a fact. Every day on the show, Sean gives us a fact and we have to rate it out of five,

and he's never got a five-star fact. You've done the segment from January all the way through until now, and Harrison and I were like, we think it might be time for the segment too. You think maybe we're too harsh on the judging? Maybe he has had one. It's getting a bit dry, mate. Really?

It's just over 100, almost 150 times doing the segment. It's just like, I need something else. Yeah, so we've given you an ultimatum, either find a five-star fact. by the end of next week or the segment dies. Or the segment dies, is the other one. Oh yeah, and it dies.

You don't need to suck anything. So we are going to the people because I feel like our listeners, they're a lot smarter than us, and they'll be able to find a five-star fact. We've got the faith. If a listener provides the show with a five-star fact, the segment is saved,

the five-star fact segment continues. Happy days. Okay, so I've accepted this ultimatum. got until the end of next week. We will be doing the fact tour. We're going to go to Invercargo, Dunedin, and Queenstown. Yep. So it's unlimited facts, right?

Listener facts, near you giving facts. Yeah. If we can get just one five start, the segment remains. If we can't, the segment dies. Correct. Now, you guys were worried about whether I'd get enough people to come out and give it a go. I was a little worried about it as well, to be honest.

So I made a power move today. I went to our new second in charge here at the edge, Honeybone Second and charge Yeah well I don't want to go straight to the top dog Second in charge

Not really in power move That's quite inferior to go I don't want to go see the boss So I pulled him to the side And I had this conversation with him I was wondering if I could get a little bit of Show budget or money To kind of incentivise people

How much money $1,000? Right Okay A thousand bucks right Yeah How many more people are going to come out And give their facts

Because $1,000 is up for grass A thousand dollars goes a long way these days. I don't know, it kind of sounds like this might be dead in the water already. People honestly listen to our show because of the five-size-sac faxing. Do you hear me messages I get every week from listeners being like, just do my fact, please do my fact. I can hear the desperation in your voice. Is it that that crucial?

It's passion. People love it. Okay, okay. You can have a grand. Can I really? Yeah, sure. Shake on her. No give back.

Thousand bucks. Yeah. To whoever has the best facts. Sure. Legend. This is a game changer for me. So there you go. You're here first.

That's the incentive. A thousand dollars will go to someone who delivers a fact on the show in the next seven days. So I thought let's open it right now. O800 the edge. Call me right now. Let's give the first fact. Wow. Let's try and get this thing done right now.

Maybe we won't even have to do the tour. Good job on that hustle, Sean. A thousand dollars. All right. Let's go to Carl in Auckland. Hi, Carl. Hello, Tim. Hello, Carl.

Carl, hit us with your Sean's five-star fact. So the car manufacturer of Volkswagen, their most produced part isn't any sort of car part. It is in fact a hot dog. The Volkswagen hot dog. Yep.

And it's even got its own part number. Wow. I've never heard of it before. I've never heard of the Volkswagon. I feel like Carl, do you have any more information there? Or is that the end of the fact? Oh, that's the end of the fact. Okay, all right.

See, I feel yearning for more. Steph, we're going to be real tough judges traveling the country. I already know. I feel like we need to know more about the sausages. Yeah. Okay. I like the start of it. Good start to effect there, Carl.

It's needed a bit of a end. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They needed to be more there, Carl. So unfortunately, quick judging, deliberation. I'm holding some fingers up. Yeah?

Yeah, we're locking a three. That's a three from us, Carl. Yeah. Sorry, Carl. Thanks, mate. That's okay. Cheers, Carl. They gave me a 0.5 earlier, man,

so I wouldn't stress about it. We're heading to Needan, Invercago in Queensland next week. A thousand dollars is on the line for the fact tour. But up next, a big announcement, a new festival coming to Christchurch. We've got tickets to give away.

O 800 the edge. Give us a call right now if you are in Christchurch and you want to win tickets to Lakes Festival, the full line-up announced next. And we're going to put you through a festival scenario. Hit Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

A massive announcement, The Edge is stoked to bring you Lakes Festival hitting Christchurch's Hagueley Park. Great location for a feste. 28th of December with headliners. Wilkinson. Good neighbours. You're going to live a while. And heaps more.

We'll get your chance to win a double pass right now on 0800 The Edge. We're going to put you through a little scenario, though. Because you do need to be prepared, if you're going to represent the edge, at Lakes Festival, we want to make sure that you are the right person for the job. Yeah, think of it maybe as an audition. Yeah, an audition. It's just a bit of improv. Exactly.

So, for example, I'm going to fire a little festival scenario at the two of you, Sean and Harrison. Okay. And you're going to reenact what you would do in this particular scenario. And then we're going to play with a listener to try and win tickets, okay? So your scenario, Sean, is you've lost your group that you're at the festival with. But you've also got a really bad tummy ache, probably a bit of IBS from the excitement of being there, okay? Yeah. So you're alone and sore, and then you see TikTok dancer extraordinaire Harrison Keefe at the festival.

So you go over to him and you see if he wants to include you in one of his videos. Go. Okay. First thing I'd say is, hey Harrison. We were probably at the festival together anyway, so I was probably found my friends there by finding Harrison. Or in this scenario, am I not know Harrison? You don't know each other. Just live in the scenario.

Don't talk third person in here. Hey Harrison. Sorry. Hey Harrison, I listen to you on the radio all the time, man, and I hear that you have bowel issues. I was wondering, my tummy's a bit sore. Do you have any probiotics I could borrow or some charcoal tablets? Can I just like, it doesn't sound sore?

Harrison, my tummy's really sore, dude. Can I borrow some probiotics? And also, can I be in your video so I get heaps of followers? Hey, man, me and the guys have noticed, can you stop following us around this festival? I promise I'm not. We just happen to be going to the same artist. You followed us back to a hotel last night.

I know you followed us around the festival, that's a bit weird. Well, I thought we were friends, but then I've been informed We're not friends. I don't know who you are. I don't know who you are. I don't know where my friends are. My tummy hurts. Can you help me out a little bit?

Yeah, you're a creep. Security. Don't throw me out. I lost my friends, I promise. They were promos. Oh, wow. I felt that. They felt that.

That was good. Commitment to the character. It was good. All right. Jane from... God, flashbacks. Jane from Christch. Your scenario, please, Harrison.

Jane. You at the front... Hello, Jane. You at the front of... or the drinks line, but you don't have your card on you. Okay, so therefore we're playing the bartender and three, two, one action. Oh, Smearn off double ice, nice choice. And Jane, that will be, I don't know how I know your name, that will be $8.

Oh my God, I have totally forgotten my wallet. How about we do a game of Papers' Rock? If I win, I get the drink for free, and if you win, you can have my number. Sorry to jump in now. I'm the manager of the bar, love. But you just said that you're going to play papersons rock with my staff member. That's not how it works here. Okay.

That's all right. Let me just quickly turn around and see if someone wants to shout me, and then I'll do them a favour. What kind of thing? Hey, I'm the guy behind Jane. What did you say? Oh, I could do you a favour if you buy me a drink. What are you talking?

No, I'm talking. Same and insane. Sean took in the brother. She's going to win. I was saying, I said, could you give me a probiotic for my sore tummy? I'm always there is tribute. Oh, congratulations.

Jane, we'll see you. Thank you. She will represent us so well, team. I'm very excited. Your Ravos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Now, on this show, I do the five-star fact.

I do the top three. Harrison does tap that at the relatively new news. Steph doesn't quite have a segment other than scandal. And you're on a bit of a mission. to try and create one. Yeah, so I'm going to pitch this one to you, and I want to see if you guys like it. You have to play along, though.

It is a bit of an interactive one. Cool. So the segment's called, On This Day, or was it? So I'm going to tell you things that happened on the 12th of August in history, and you need to try and guess if what I'm saying is true or not.

I'll read off like things that happen in history, and you just guess if, yeah, that definitely happened. True or false. Or not, that really didn't happen. ahead of doing this already, I really like this idea. Oh, thank you. Is unique? I haven't heard it before.

I'm interested. I'm excited about it. I'm on the fence just judging straight off the bank. Okay, sure. But he came into this prepared for failure. Well, I think I need a bit of faith from you, actually. For this to work, you need to buy it into it. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. The first one. On this day, the 12th of August, in 1877, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph.

which is a device for recording and replaying sound. Okay, so we have to decide. So now you guys have to guess if it's a true fact, like if it's actually happened in history or if I'm just making it up. Do we rate it out of five? No. No, we just guess if it's real or not. Yeah.

No, I think, I know Thomas Edison did invent that because he invented he heaps. Also, a fast game's a good game. Sorry, yes, let's go yes. I'm going to say no. Okay. Okay, no, that is true. It is. Ah, yeah, yeah, me.

Okay, on this day, what was it? In 2018, a couple in Christchurch, moved their couch a couple of centimetres to the left and said that's better. Ah, I'm going to lock it true. It's a safe true. I see what happens most days.

No. How do you know that though? But it might have happened. That wasn't true. Okay, next one. Wait, that's not... In 1960 on this day, NASA launched Echo One, the first successful communication satellite.

False. I feel like she's going to trick us with that because it's too specific. Unless she's just Google that made that up. I'm going for the multi-choice. idea that I've always had, which is if there are two truths, you don't go for a third true. I'm going false. That's true. It did happen on the 12th of August of 1960. Okay, the next one. 1979, a man in Ohio, America, dropped a biscuit in his tea, fished it out, and then still laid it.

I think I've picked up the pattern. I think the ones that seem very colloquial are made up by Steph, and then the ones that are big historic events are real. I don't know, because my dad told me about that. I'm not looking true for that. I'm definitely going false. It's false. On this day, or did it, in 1974, a man in Hamilton successfully alphabetized his spice rat.

False. True. False. So! In 1990, the largest T-Rex fossil ever discovered was discovered, and they've named her Sue. True. False. It is true.

I'm figuring out the pattern here. I know that Steph's brain operates. That is true. And the final one, on this. day, or was it, in 1989, a cat in Auckland, slept in exactly the same spot it was sleeping the day before.

True, remember that happening. False. True, it was true. Yes, Emma. And that is, on this day or was it? 3343. You vote on that segment, segment. Do you want it to return, or you reckon Steph is another crack at it tomorrow? Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. Now there's a photo that's going viral. in New Zealand today. You may have seen it Jason Mamoa's Instagram account, Pride of Gypsies, is a photo that he's cross-posted with the All-Blacks of them shooting this iconic scene on his new TV show. It's available on Apple Plus in New Zealand called Chief of War. So he brought the show to New Zealand.

They've been filming it the last few years. He loves the All-Blacks so much, Jason Mamoy, that one day he got them all on set. There's a great scene in the first episode where they're all there. And they've posted this photo of all the All-Blacks in front of this hut that's an amazing set. And in the background is one person who's not wearing costumes, who's just in their kind of muffly clothes, who was obviously working on the film set that day,

who is photobonged this iconic image. Oh my God, you had one job, and your one job is to get out of the photo. Surely, surely, they took lots of photos, and that person's clearly running away in the background. Why they'll select the one where the person has exited the frame? Well, maybe it's one of those people, because, like, I know my partner, Jake is well trained.

He, I've trained him well, that he will take, like, a hundred different options when it comes to photos, so you, like, pick one, that everyone looks good, no one's blinking, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Maybe that was the one photo. Maybe someone did take all the photos, but that was the one that Jason Monroe was looking like extra good

and right there in the centre, and it just happened to be the one that this person, this poor person working on the set. And everyone else is like in their, like, characters' vibe. Like, everything's looking very authentic. Yeah. And then there's someone in blue jeans and blonde hair, puffer jacket, looking very out of place.

Well, guys, I hunted down who this person is. I found out last night. You won't believe it when I tell you. But you know how my fiancé genie was working on Chief of War with Jason Maher and the All Blacks? She was one of the assistant directors on set. Does she know her? I kid you not, that is my fiancé.

No. My fiancé genie photo bombed this image of Jason Mamar and the All Blacks, which has millions of views that went out yesterday. Wait, I promise to God. What are you swearing it on? That is Jeannie. Sweer it on Jeannie. That's her jacket.

It's her North Face Parfair. her iPad, like, slung around her waist that she wears, her hat on set. I promise you, this hat that I'm wearing right now, she is wearing in that shot. Wait, what? I wore this today to prove to you. I'm calling her. I don't believe you. It is.

You know, Harrison, you work in film sets. You know, these ADs are always going to be back on. You can't even see your face or it's just someone on a puff jacket. You don't know exactly there's Jeannie. I promise it to her. Hello, Jamie speaking. Hi, Jeannie. It's Steph.

So sorry to annoy you on this lovely afternoon. But as you know, I do it. radio show with your fiancé Sean and he's telling us this yarn and I have to hear it from your mouth first without actually telling you what it. You're not currently listening to the show are you? No, no. Because Sean's just told us a huge whopping lie, I think, but do you have anything, do you know what he could possibly say to do with Chief of War with Jason Momor? I've got no idea. Don't do that. You know what you told me last night, you came into the room and you said, look at this photo. What did he tell you?

Oh my god me photo bombing Jason Mama and the All Blacks I told you It was her Did you quickly text her No I did it It's fine

Oh my god What it's real That's insane Jeannie That's so cool You're famous That is my That's my claim to fame That's it I've made it

I'm on Jason Mamaa's Instagram Wow So be honest At this point Jenny Because it's like Collaborators and Jason Maura The All Blacks Why have you not asked

To collaborate in the pub That's great point As you're in the photo. Maybe I should send a request. I think she's a great idea, Harrison. That's great proof, I feel, you know. Oh, can we do? Just in case our listeners haven't seen the photo of Jason Momor and the All Blacks and your bottom,

then can you please text photo to 3343 and we'll fire it back to you? I don't like you saying it's my fiancé's bottom. Why did you say that? Because it's your backside, isn't it? It's just the back of it. It's just the back of her. Your bum is in a photo with Jason Memorial. She does have a great caboose.

I know. It's fantastic. All right, my famous fiance, Jeannie Grace, making it into the back of Jason Mamoers and the All Blacks photo. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Steph has our top three for us today. Yeah. It turns out it's a young couple from Christch that won the big $20 million in Lotto from the weekend.

They've just done their first interview. They want to remain anonymous, but they talk about how they just couldn't believe it. Their lives have changed. They ended up getting an email. I guess because with the My Lotto app, you have to register and stuff. So you get to send her an email if you've won over $1,000. And so they received the email. They're like, oh my God, well, let's check together.

Kaching, $20 million. And then the woman admitted that she made her husband check the ticket again at 3 a.m. Just to be sure. What are they going to be doing with their 20 mill? They've got plans of paying off their mortgage, buying a new car, and updating their passports. So they're about to go on a holiday as well. Dreamy.

Poor, okay. That's how you'd spend about half a million. There's still 19 million to be spent. Funny you mention that, because today's top three is more interesting ways that you could be spending $20 million. It's that time of the day. The time to get your news. Brought to you by visiting the SBCA and holding all the puppies

and then getting them all excited and then leaving and actually not getting out the puppies and making them sad that you didn't adopt any of them. And presented by an incredibly persistent Jehovah's Witness. It's the Edge Top Three. Number three Three On the list of what I do with $20 million

First of all I'd see what Morgan Freeman's up to You know how he's got like a beautiful voice Yes He's really good at narrating isn't he He does that penguin one doesn't he the movie Yeah the march much of the penguins Yeah so I would hire Morgan Freeman To just narrate my life

So he'd follow me everywhere I go What do you reckon his hourly rate would be Oh hi Hi hi He's like oh now Yeah so maybe I'd do like a couple of days with Morgan Freeman and then maybe lower tear some other narrators, but just follows me. And then they're like, Steph's opening the door to the edge radio station.

Steph's pouring a drink of water. Steph's opening the door to the edge radio station. That's really good. Kind of. And it needs to be more American. Sorry, you want to take Morgan Freeman's twilight years from him? Yeah, to work for me. Because I'm rich now.

Okay. Here's number two. Two. Well, I would hire a plane, but you know, like one of those small planes with the banners, kind of like what we did a couple of months ago. we did the pizza journey. We invented our own pizza, put it on the back of a plane. So I would get my own plane and my own banner,

and the banner would say, Steph Monks is rich, shame all you losers who used to bully her and laugh at her back at school. And then go, but somehow do that as part of the text. I just haven't figured out of spell. I just already flagged that. Too many letters.

Yeah, maybe multiple planes then. So some people give the advice of don't tell anyone you've won lotto. Steph's going, I'm flying a plane saying, shame, I won, you guys suck. Correct. Love the mentality. Okay. And number one.

One. On the list of what I would do if I won the lotto, I would create a statue made of gold of myself. And it would be like I'd have a cape on, my pose would be like superwoman pose, and I would erect it at the local park. So everyone knows that I won lotto. Yeah.

How would you do it? Would you get them to do a different take on you or just you for you? Because if I'm getting a statue made of myself, I'm probably getting them to sharpen up my jawline a little bit. Yeah, I probably get rid of some of the wrinkles. Maybe like no kind of grey hairs and things like that. So I'd look real hot as superwoman. And why am I even stopping at one park?

A wrecked my statue in every single public domain in my city. Yeah, I reckon. Well, it's maybe good for you, but I'd never walk around parks saying I wrecked my statue. You wouldn't want a statue erected it? Nah, I wouldn't say that around public parks, probably. It's the official term for when you put a statue up is you have to erect it. Oh, that's not. Yeah, you erect a fence, you erect a statue?

You erect it. You erect it. Jeez, what do you do to erect it? Flash your boobs. Hey, you can come and polish my erection. It's The Edge Top Three. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Now, you might be listening to the show because of an iconic segment that I do every day called The Five Star Facts. Sean's Five Star Facts. And don't roll your eyes at me, Stephanie Marks. It's a great. You do. You say that every time we do. at the moment. Because you're trying to kill it.

Someone's got to stand up for it. So the whole point in the segment is to try and find a fact worthy of a five-star rating. And we've done it for eight months and you still haven't given us a fact worth a five-star rating. So we've given you an ultimatum, Sean. It's either find one in the next end of 10 days, so the end of next week you've got up until, or it dies.

Yep. So we're going on a... Here Java's Fact Tour. You gotta give him that a fact. We're going on a tour, heading Dunedinidin and Vicargle, Queensland, Now, $1,000 up for grabs, unlimited facts. We're going to be fact in all week next week.

So come out and see us. But right now, I do feel like it's been treated a little harshly this segment. I've put a lot into it. And I thought right now we could take a trip down memory lane to some of the most iconic facts that have happened in the last week while and someone's that may, dare I say, have probably been deserving of a little higher ratings than what they were given. It's a fashion fact today.

Today's fact is In the United States, each person owns an average of seven pairs of blue jeans. Oh, one man, I didn't love that fact today, sorry. See, that felt harsh. Yeah, no, that's still weird stuff. I reckon I'm not changing it. And it was stats from America, eh? Yeah, it was unrelatable to New Zealand.

Yeah. Okay, what about this one? Today's five-star fact is, there was a short period of time when Picasso and Snoop. We're both alive together. I thought Piss, um... Let him try.

Let him try. Don't correct them anyway. I thought Pes. What's his name Harrison? The artist. Pesaco. Pardon? Pistachio.

I thought Pesaco was older. Take it. Pesaco. It's not right. Pesaco. Pistar. Not your best work. Not terrible.

It's a two and a half. I thought you mark me down because Harrison couldn't say Picasso. That was my favourite part of the fact was Harrison couldn't say Picasso. I already forgot what the fact was. Yeah. Also, Picasso's a bad man and we don't really need to give him any airtime, I feel like. Yeah, right. Yeah.

Separate the art from the artist? Well, yeah. What do you do? Just like abused women and things like that. Oh, sick. Sorry, guys. What about this one, though? It is Matariki this weekend.

Today's fact is about public holidays. Today's Five Star Facts New Year's Day is the most popular public holiday on earth with 90% of the globe enjoying a day off on that day. It's evident that you and Lily are not going to give me a five. 3.5, there we go. They're never going to give you a five.

No, one day... They'll never, ever, ever. Vanessa, we will. When it's deserving of a five, I promise you that we will. Today, Sean, it's not happening. It's a two from me. Vanessa was not happy. Yeah, I did.

like the soundscape at the start of that it's like a little sound effect. Happy New Year. I thought that was quite cute. Okay, so next week the fact tour commences on Wednesday. Bring out your best stuff. Yeah. And we've got a thousand dollars up for grabs for our favourite fact during the fact tour.

So yeah, come out. Spitting facts on the thing. Please help me people. We've got to keep this segment alive. Your Arvos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, thank you for listening to the podcast. Hope you enjoyed.

we're recording this during the radio show at the moment this little bit. I just went to the bathroom and went to the kitchen, made myself a little beverage and someone just quartered me in the kitchen and said, hey, you're a DJ, right? And I said, yeah, I'm a DJ. And they said, I want you to make a mash-up for me. Do you think you could mash-up creed in Swedish House Mafia?

Oh, that sounds like a good challenge. But then I said, why? Creed. She said, oh, I heard it in a mix at my gym, but I can't find it anywhere. So could you make it for me? I was like, oh, what do you want to use it for? I just want to listen to it.

Who was this person? Charge them. Anita, the person who runs at the social club here at work that you guys make fun of things we're being part of. So you know Anita. I know her. Well, you've emailed her. Yeah, emailed her.

You haven't rocked up to many club events. Oh yeah, when's the next one coming up? What's up to social club? I don't know. There's not actually any updates. I haven't been followed up at my Santa performance at the social club either. I am quitting the social club if they pay you. Well, that was literally the genuine plan.

They're going to get you to come and do a stand-up night. There wasn't a joke. I haven't heard about it for ages. I know that you talk about social club if it was happening. Like if a social club is happening, but I haven't heard about a social club in a while. Yeah, if you've missed it, this is something that I pay for. You can do it at the work, you take it a little bit of your wages. This is tiny amounts.

It's something that I get paid for. So I work at the social club. I perform at the social club. So Sean's money goes to Harrison. No, there was one idea that they had about a stand-up thing and they were going to hit you up, which is crazy. You've done two stand-up gigs. I've done.

They stopped me with a hundred. good to work. Why don't we just cut out the middleman, cut out the social club, and Sean just pays Harrison. Pay Harrison and Harrison to tell a good story. What? I'd tell a good story.

Yeah, so cut out the social club middleman. Yeah. And just Sean give money directly to you. Oh, pretty much should, eh? And then you should just tell a good story, like tell a joke. Yeah. And then that's basically just cutting out the middleman.

Well, it's not, because the concept of the social club is you know. And I get it for free. That I'm on a journey of trying to make friends, and that's what the social club is good for for me. I hang out with Harrison a lot anyway, so I don't need to pay Harrison to hang out. When do you guys hang out? When do you guys hang out? Here now.

Yeah, but when do you actually hang out? Right now. This is your paid employment. That's what I'm saying. So I'm not going to keep paying him to hang out with me, because then that would really border on not being friendship. I would appreciate if you paid me for it. Hey man, you want to catch up on Saturday? What's your budget?

Yeah, do you want me to, I can't weekend in the weekends. I can do some stand-up for you. So I ask you, hey, you want to catch up and get a coffee on Saturday morning, and you're going to go to me, I charge by the hour. I'd be like, do you want to see some stand-up? I say, no, I just want to hang out trying to make friends. Yeah, that's true. Are you going to come watch my stand-up performance, Steve?

With the social club? Yeah, I'll get you for free. I'll put you on the door. Because I wasn't going to pay for it, but if you can give me in for free. It's a ripper of a set. Yeah, but I'll think about it. I'll think about it. You guys should honestly try the social club.

I am. Yeah, so she said it was this song Oh, this is one last breath Yeah, this is it, yeah Six feet from you You should probably make the mix So you make a new friend So it was that one mixed up with this song here

Okay, let's try Yeah, let's try Turn it up Don't you Don't you wear it Don't you wear it Do you bring Fuck that's good

I think we hit the wrong beat off It works, that's working. It's on the wrong bat. Yeah, but you get the idea. It would sound quite good, I think. This Anita, this is Anita. This is Anita person. She's got good, good ideas.

Yeah, but I also don't think I want to be trying to make friends by doing things for everyone to make friends. Because that's you end up being the weird dude who just is hanging out with people. She leads to the social club. Yeah. It's important to impress it. Is it? Because I think we're already paid to be part of the social club. So I'm already contributing.

Do you want to come and hang out with me on the weekend? I won't be as expensive as Harrison. Yeah, I'll come hang out with you. Okay, well, um, 10 buck? I'm not going to pay you guys to hang out with me outside of work. 10 buck. No tax. 10 bucks.

To get to your, sorry, producer Sam wanted to say something. What do you want to say? Five bucks. To hang out with you. Five bucks, Sean. I can't go that way. That's good. Don't save yourself short.

Secondly, no, I'm not paying to hang out with you either. Also, it would cost me $20 petrol just to get to your house, Steph. So you're happy to give your money to pay, to hang up. strangers in the workplace, but not your actual friends. You pay for the event that you do. Which is eating a pie and drinking a pill rate at this stage. Which costs money? You're a pie to power raid nowadays.

You're not getting that for less than 10 bucks. Hey, no, I'm sorry. When they have an event next, not the Harrison gig, but another one, can you let me know because I want to make fun of you some more? And also honestly, like, you know, honestly, the friends I've actually made at this workplace, who I know it on the social club, I have made friends through being in the kitchen

through walking out in the office. Hey, what are their names? Gigi, Clara. Clara, our web girl. Kara. Kara, the receptionist. Ben. You just get a name wrong.

Ben, the newsreader. Who else? Reagan, that's your friend. Reagan, yeah. He's not on the social club. I can't list all of them. Why not? There's some other people I talk to.

Whose names are? I know everyone's names. You should? I know I should. I'm terrible with names. Come to the. the social club, you'll know them. Nah.

Yeah. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
