Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. You're avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Can someone please remove these girls? No! Have me a list of animals? I couldn't tell you what was what really. Okay, bird.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Mammal. No, it's a bird. That's a trick question. That's my catchphrase. You want to play some games? Hey, you want to buy some leaves, man? Gravos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.
Starting point is 00:00:34 A Wednesday means degrees of Stan Walker people, week 15. Will we still get incredible stories of a degree of separation from a degree of separation from a degree of separation from Stan Walker? I love Wednesdays to hear people's Stan Walker stories. It's going to be a good time after 5 o'clock. Guys, I have just received a very exciting email in my inbox. You know how we have, well, the people have decided that the Edge Hedge is going to be the show mascot. Yeah. I've just seen a.
Starting point is 00:01:00 little sketch of what the hedge is going to look like. Really? Maybe. What does it look like? It's looking really good. Hedgy? Our incredible listener Kelly is making it for us and Monday next week will be the big reveal. But from the inbox photo, oh, the hedge is going to be something else.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Wow. So glad. I'm so ready. And today, of course, we've got to figure out if the hedges will sound like anything. Will the hedge have a voice? Yeah. Is it going to have a voice? Will it have a voice?
Starting point is 00:01:29 Because traditionally a lot of mascots don't have voices. But are we going to be different? Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Easy money is the game. You can play by calling O800 The Edge. We will give you a letter between E and Z. You have 30 seconds, 10 questions.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Answer each one with a word of that letter. Win 10,000 bucks. Good luck. He's from Christchurch. And he loves a good game of 10-pom bowling. Please welcome to the show. Jacob. Hey, how's it going? Good, Jacob.
Starting point is 00:02:04 You got a strong forie like me? A strong four. I've never even heard the term. I'm probably not as good of a bowler as you. Yeah, strong forearm. It's a strong forearm to really flick that off the wrist. Oh, there we go. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Nah, man. Weak forearm, that's, yeah, it's why I get a good spin on it. Yeah, Sean's got a week for you too. Yeah, I have to use the ramp. Oh, no. Yeah, the assist ramp. Oh, yeah. But there's no shame in using an assisted ramp in a temper
Starting point is 00:02:29 at a temperate and bowling facility. Jacob, do you wear the glove? No, no, no. I'm not, I'm not that into it. Nah, he's raw dogging those holes. Yeah, I'm raw dogging as a right. Okay, guys, I'll be honest, too many innuendos for 3 10pm.
Starting point is 00:02:44 I'm calling it, I'm calling it. All right, Jacob. Your letter is J, J for Jacob. Oh, how good. It's meant to be. You were literally born for this. I hope so. I usually suck when I play it long, so.
Starting point is 00:02:58 hopefully this is that. I usually suck when I play this game, but hopefully I'm a different person today. On the biggest stage, it's going to work out. Harrison, give him a hype up or something. He needs some confidence. Jacob. I've got it. I've got it. Oh, sweet. Okay, never mind then.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Actually, Harrison? Keep it down. Yeah, I'll pipe down. It's good. 30 seconds, Jacob, here are the rules. With the letter J, we need 10 answers from 10 different categories. You can skip by saying pass, and hopefully we'll have time to get back to the one that you've missed out on.
Starting point is 00:03:27 no repeated answers and your time will begin when I finish saying the first category. Are you ready? Wait, let's roll. I's bloody confident. I love it. I love it too. Okay, Jacob from Christch
Starting point is 00:03:41 with the letter J for $10,000 please name for us a word ending an R. Jasper. A male artist. A profession.
Starting point is 00:03:57 A genitre. Something black. A game kids play. Jump Jack. A Star Wars character. Um, job of the hut. A sport. Um, Jebelin.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Something hot. Jug. Something expensive. Jewelry. Time! Jacob! Oh, that's not good. You got A man.
Starting point is 00:04:27 That was good. It was great. Yeah, something black. It was a Jaguar. I had that in the back of my head ready to roll. That's the first one. Jaguar, jeans, Jeep, Jets. What was the last question?
Starting point is 00:04:38 Last one was something you'd find in your car. Oh, junk. Yeah. But you? Can I say, as the Judge Harrison, I don't know if you could have accepted his first answer. Something ending in R. He said Jaffer, Jaffer famously. No, I said Jepa.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Jaspah. Jaspah. Yeah. Oh, Jasper. Jasper's the name. I thought it was Jaffer too, Sean. I read the way. No, no, Jasper, like the emerald, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I love that. We might have had to go to the video ref and it probably would have worked out for you. Oh, well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you for playing Jacob. You're an absolute legend, mate. You still won a hundred dollar thanks to BNZ, so good on you, Jacob. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:05:20 The Edge. Look, it's always been a dream of mine to own a lemon tree. And I've got one in my garden, and it's... Oh, very. with beautiful little balls of yellow goodness lemons. And so last night put the baby to bed and then we've got a bowl of these delicious lemons in the kitchen and I crank one open to just put on fish taco.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Sorry, I've never ever heard of someone referred to it as cranked open a lemon before. A crank open a lemon. A crank open a lemon. Look at a big cook. I'm not that confident in the kitchen but I'm pretty sure people crank open lemons. What would you do? Cut open a lemon? Slice open a lemon.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Well, I cranked it open and I drizzled it over my fish. And that's when I made the statement because I could just smell the sweet aroma of the lemon. And I said out loud, I reckon lemon is the best natural scent. Not man-made scent. The best natural scent, given provided to us by Mother Earth.
Starting point is 00:06:14 And that's when my partner, Jake, who's the chef in our house, kind of looked at me and was like, lemon. And I was like, yeah, there's nothing that smells better than a lemon. You've got the lemon. I mean, again, I'm not a chef.
Starting point is 00:06:29 What's the skin of the lemon when you... The zest. The rind of the zest. Yeah, the rind of the zest. It is just so strong. The strength of that smell, there's nothing like it. Bottle it up and spray it on me forever and I'll be a happy girl. Like, make me a lemon perfume.
Starting point is 00:06:46 That actually should exist and it currently doesn't. A lemon perfume? It's the best natural sense. No, you're so wrong. And that's when Jake's like, no, no. And then he started thinking about it. And he's like, I reckon probably cinnamon's up there. I was like, cinnamon.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I was like lemon. He's like, nah, cinnamon. And I was like, no, I get it. Cinnamon's strong, but it's not as good as lemon. And that's honestly, we like argued for about 20 minutes about what's a better natural scent, lemon or cinnamon. And I got so kind of angry at him for not, like, thinking it was lemon, that I kind of went to bed angry.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Yeah, if I knew you guys had that conversation last night, I'd go to bed angry. You both have insane senses of smell. I agree. I agree. What do you mean? Cinnamon or lemon? What would you say is the best natural scent? Horrible option.
Starting point is 00:07:30 First, wait, before we give our opinion, lemon is famously used to cover up other scents because it's the strongest theft. They use it in cleaning products. It reminds me of toilet cleaner. It reminds me of dishwashing liquid. It's not the nicest scent. It's just the most overpowering,
Starting point is 00:07:43 so people put it in everything. Are you joking, man? There's a reason it doesn't exist in cologne. Yeah. It's because no one wants to smell like cleaning products. What would you say is the best natural scent then, Sean? I love... Sorry, to back Jake.
Starting point is 00:07:56 little bit on us, but I love a nutmeg. Oh, gosh. When are you using nutmeg? You're not ever getting that out of the peach. I love a nutmeg. I do. I love it. I love it. I'm going to get up and just sniff it. You guys are too into like foods and spices. I'd go like smoke from a chimney.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Oh, that smells good. That smells real good. Like in the middle of winter when you've got a fire crank in and you can smell that in the air. At the moment I wake, I open my window early in the morning someone's lit of fire. No, there's better natural sense than that. No, there's better natural sense than that. I can think of Jasmine. Jasmine would be better than...
Starting point is 00:08:27 Jasmine, Jasmine. Well, Jasmine's better than the smoke, but not as good as the lemon. Fresh cut grass. Pine, I also like. Do you know I love? Sawdust. Yeah, sawdust is good. Now, hold on.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Are we including sawdust in this? Because technically you'd have to soar to get sawdust, and that is man-made. You have to get the smell of a lemon. You have to cut the lemon over and they get the smell, eh? Oh, yeah, I just suppose. Typically. Okay, oh, 800 of the edge. Let's figure this out.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Let's get to the bottom of us. Who's correct? And none of us correct. What can we find definitively what the best natural scent is? What does petrol come from? Dinosaur fossils. I guess that would be the best natural scent, would it? Oh, petrol's mine then, I like him.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Preparate. Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Not realise this would become such a massive debate until we kind of started having the conversation. And I understand while your relationship is now in turn, what else there? Well, my partner Jake was like cinnamon is the best natural scent,
Starting point is 00:09:20 like not man-made. Just something that Mother Earth gave us. And I was like, no. It's lemons, obviously. And so, yeah, a heated discussion occurred in my house last night, and we didn't get a winner. And now that we're talking about it, people are opening my mind up to a whole huge amount of natural sense
Starting point is 00:09:37 that I haven't even considered. Well, lemons is crazy. I think the problem with you and your partner, Jake's ones, they're palate cleanser sense. You know, like, I think that's what they are. They literally palate cleanser senses. Yeah, so they're better than smoke. No, but there's better ones out there because they've got more flavour to them.
Starting point is 00:09:52 They can engage your palate. I've been thinking about this for two songs. Can I throw a few out there? Coffee beans. Oh, yeah, I forgot about it. But good. I'm obviously a pallet cleanser. That's good.
Starting point is 00:10:03 I said sawdust earlier. Yeah, nah. You don't like sawdust? Nah. Rain on asphalt. Nah, not the best. It's good, but it's not the best. Okay, let's go to the phones.
Starting point is 00:10:14 O eight hundred of the edge. We're asking you, what is the best natural scent? And Rosa from Pukikor is here. What do you think, Rosa? Definitely. You have to go through a few steps. How natural? How natural is the fresh baked bread scent?
Starting point is 00:10:33 True, the ingredients are man-made, aren't they? But the actual bread itself, I'd say, is very man-made. Oh, technicalities. It smells good, though. It does. So it's a cake or biscuits. Yeah, true. Or any meal in the oven.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Yeah, true, we can't really accept bread, can we? Do you know what smells good? Butter in a pan. Oh, do you that smells good? Boiling water. What? It actually smells mean. Okay, whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:56 All right, let's go to add. Amber on 0800 the edge, Amber, what in your opinion is the best natural scent? I think it's lavender. I forgot about lavender. Lavender is very good. Oh, lavender. Lavender. I have a lavender eye mask pillow that I put over my eyes every night.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Of course you do. What? Bougie. You can't smell it. My girlfriend's mother made it for me. Can't smell it if it's on your eyes. Well, it's made it calm and be good for your skin and calm you down. That's so cute.
Starting point is 00:11:24 It's very yum. Oh my God. I reckon it's up there would leave. Has it, hold on, has it just overtaken my thought? Lemon or lavender? I think actually it's better than lemon. Yeah, yeah. Lavender.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Yeah, it's better than lemon. Yep. Yeah, I agree. Okay, well, lavender's number one so far. Okay, let's go to Danny. All right hundred the edge. The best natural scent, Danny. What you got?
Starting point is 00:11:45 It would be lemon grass. Ah. Yum. I can't think of what that smells like. It smells like Thai. It's in all the Thai dishes. It's like the actual little like long green. grass looking thing, right?
Starting point is 00:12:01 Yeah, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. Okay, I don't think it's better than lavender, though. What about the smell under your watch? Ew, sweat. Someone texted in it. There's just a smell under your watch. I'm going to wear a watch.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I'm taking my watch off. What does it smell like, Sean? Like your hand. Oh, yuck. It smells like soap because I washed my hands deep. I had a deep watch. Oh, shut up. You just screwed up your face.
Starting point is 00:12:21 It smells like soap. Someone said rain on a trampoline. Okay, yeah, I know what you're talking about? Okay. Matt is here in 0800 the edge. Matt, what is the best natural scent? I reckon it's burning coal. Like, I'm a delivery driver, and every time I go to Grey Mouse,
Starting point is 00:12:37 everyone's got their chimneys shut down, and they're burning coal, and just the smoke from that reminds you of the old days of the sting trains and that. Wow. It is good. No, I know what you mean. So that's one up. Harrison's one of chimney smoke, but it's coal. Yeah, coal.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah, terrible for the planet, but God it smells them. Guys, Frenchapani, Adrian just texted in. That is so good. Frenchapani. Japanis the flower. Hear me out. Yelang Yulang. Oh, Yoling's in everything.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I don't know what Yelang Yoling is. I don't know what Yelang Yolong. But it's in every like laundry powder. It's Ylang Ylang Yolang. Yeah, Yolang, sweet pea, Brittany, amazing. Oh, Jasmine, pineapple, sage, pine needles. Guys, I don't think there's an answer.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I think it's just, I think they're all in those. You have to put one, though. One is your place limit for you. Steph decide finally right now. What is the greatest scent? Please. The Great Ascent, given to us, by Mother Earth, I'm going to close my eyes and pick a text off random.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Is the smell of clean laundry. Not man, not natural. Your Arvos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. And usually this is quite a high point in the show for me. The five-star fact. It might be a high point for you as well. It might be the reason you listen to this show.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Doubt it. It might be. Oh, Harrison. I might be. Be more supportive of Sean. We need to. to get around Sean a little bit more, okay? He's tried to find a five-star fact for eight months.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yeah, almost 150 tries. He hasn't done it yet, so I feel like he needs a bit of support, okay? You got this, buddy? Okay, it seems patronising. Sean's five-star fact. So, as you said, I've been on a journey to get a five-star fact. You've given me an ultimatum if you missed it yesterday. I have one week to get a five-star fact.
Starting point is 00:14:20 If I don't get one, then this segment is gone. Bit longer than a week. End of next week. Yeah. End of next week. Gone forever. Like, you don't even get a chance to it. Sorry, eight days. Yeah. Eight days, sorry a week.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Eight days until you kill my brainchild, that is the five-star fact. But the great thing is you guys have given me an opportunity to do unlimited facts and also get as many listener facts as possible. So text in a great fact right now, 3343. We could be calling you back at any point during the show to do one. And $1,000 is up for grabs if you can get that five-star fact. But today's five-star fact is about the Matrix. After this, there is no turning back.
Starting point is 00:14:58 You guys seen The Matrix? Love The Matrix. Love The Matrix. It used to be one of my, you know how everyone growing up had like 10 DVDs that they just rotate and like every Saturday you just watch one of your 10 DVDs? The Matrix was one of mine. I've seen it a lot. It's a great one.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I had Home Alone one and two. Oh, that's cool. Watch those so many times. But the five-star fact today is the lead role of Neo in the Matrix was almost played by Sandra Bullock. Ha! The film's producers had such a hard time finding the right man for the role before they found Keanu Reeves that they almost changed Neo to a female
Starting point is 00:15:34 because Sandra Bullock had done such a good audition and they were like stuff up, we're going to make her, and then they found Keanu Reeves. I do know that a lot of guys tried out for her, and they couldn't find the right one. I think Will Smith was going to play at one point, and then Keanu Reeves was last resort. And it changed his old career.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Because he wasn't anyone, eh? Nah, not really at that point. So it was a big deal. Sandra Brilla, though, I didn't know that. I didn't even know they considered a female for that role. And Sandra Bullock, of all people, that's just not the kind of role she plays. I could imagine, I could look at her,
Starting point is 00:16:05 and I could see her in that role with the leather, black jacket and the glasses. She'd look great. Oh, she'd be so good. Hey, did you guys know? I hate to outfact you. But Keanu Reeves, his first name is actually Hawaiian, so we've all been pronouncing it wrong. It's actually Keanu Reeves.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Really? Truly. Truly, truly, truly. Actually? Promise. Wow. Keanu. Keanu.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Reeves. Wow. I know. I didn't know that. Are you sure that's a fact? Google it. Okay, there's something that would be insensitive if you made it up, so I'm pretty sure you're not making it up.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Wow, that's a good fact. Thank you so much, I know. Okay, but what about the fact at hand? The Hawaiian name. How was that, no, the fact that Sandra Bullock was almost the thing. What thing? Almost the lead role in the Matrix. Yes, that's what you said.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I guess after what I just told you, like, you're just kind of forget about Sean's fact, don't you? Stop trying to out fat for me. I do need a five-star fact rating from all three judges for it to be deemed a five-star fact. Producer Nurse Sam, thoughts? I think I forgot your fact already. Do you remember mine? Yeah, I remember yours, the Hawaiian thing. That's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:17:10 You remember my fact. It was a good fact. Yeah, I do. It's a good fact. It doesn't change my life. I give it a two. You are so harsh. Nurse Sam's judging criteria every time is it doesn't change my entire life.
Starting point is 00:17:26 One. It's pretty good though. I like that. And that's why a five-star fact is going to be so special that everyone's going to think about it forever. It will literally change your life. Yeah. Okay. I guess that's true.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And so I'm going to give you today, Sean, a four for that fact. Wow. Because it's a high rating for me because it then led to my fact. So that's why you get a four. Yeah. I only go three and a half purely because it's just fact. Thank you, man. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Your chance to get on later in the show. I keep them coming through 33443. I'm giving two listeners a shot today Two listeners You know Keanu, Ki-Anu Hawaii name It means the coolness Well he is cool Yeah's pretty cool
Starting point is 00:18:02 Okay all right Well speaking of cool What's cool in scandal Taylor Swift is super cool And guys I'm the type of person That reads the end chapter Of a book first
Starting point is 00:18:13 And so I love a spoiler And next I will be spoiling the track list And I know Taylor Swift fans Will come for me and be like No respect the artist But I can't I can't
Starting point is 00:18:24 I can't All right She like did herself honestly truly, so let's just talk about it. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The People's Mascots. After a week of voting and ideas, on Friday, the people finally spoke. The winner of the Edge Mascot.
Starting point is 00:18:42 The Edge Arvo's mascot, 2025, is coming about these ads. No, we've got to stop going. It's the Edge Hedge. Yes! You've spoken the Edge Hedge. Hedge is going to be the official mascot of the show. What will that look like? We will get the costume next week.
Starting point is 00:19:01 It's being made at the moment. I'm thinking a giant hedge with some googly eyes and a mouth. And it has to have big white gloves as well. Yeah. And that's for safety as part as looks, I think. Why safety? Because hands, that's a whole different that it doesn't hold up in court as well. If it's just bare hands.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Gloves, it's a lot better. Yeah. Okay. Now there's another conversation we've had. Does the mascot have a voice? Now, I think yes, mainly because I was a little questionable about the idea to start off with Harrison, just because we are a radio show and the mascot is a very visual idea. So if we now make it mute, it might be a little difficult.
Starting point is 00:19:36 It is tough. Yeah, it would be tough. Steph, what do you think about having a voice? I was kind of alluding to maybe no voice, but Sean's right, like it's a radio show. I think he definitely does need a voice, and I have the perfect idea. I am the show mascot, and this is how I think I should sound. I sound a bit like Santa. Ho, ho, ho.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Maybe you can put lights in me at Christmas time. Wahoo! Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha. That is my catchphrase. Yahoo! Who'd you get that to do that? That was her with a voice disguiser. How was it?
Starting point is 00:20:14 It took us ten minutes to do that. Try to do it with that, the voice disguiser. With a filter. I don't know. Because this is what's going to happen in real life. Yo-hoo. Oh, tro, cho, cho, cho, cho, cho, tro, that's exactly what it's been like that time. Yeah, I think something deep, I think something bellowing,
Starting point is 00:20:30 I think that he's just going to be quite big in stature, so I think a big bellowing voice. Yeah. I think that the mascot should have a voice, but I think it should communicate mainly with hand gestures. And I always thought it would be quite funny if the mascot was clearly sounded muffled. So it sounded like the guy in the soap couldn't really talk,
Starting point is 00:20:49 which is fun because it can kind of, you can still make the sounds emotively, but you can't hear what it's saying. So you'd be like, hey, Echich, how are you going? It would go, who, how are you going?
Starting point is 00:20:58 Oh, how does it say, so you can hear it. Yep, it's kind of Kenny from South Park. Can I try and have a conversation with your version of the Echage? Sure.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Hey, Hedge, well, how does it feel to be the show's mascot? Oh, awesome. Hey, got any birds nest in there today? Oh, ha, ha, ha. Oh, classic hedge. Always cracking me up. Yes, it's really old.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I don't know. I reckon I got a stronger pitch. Steve, I need you to play someone walking past, and I'll be up against a wall kind of camo as the hedge, okay? Okay. Is that what you want from the hedge to surprise people? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, here I go, walking past.
Starting point is 00:21:42 A... Hello? Hey, it's me there, Judge. There's someone there? They, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's my catch free. You want to play some games? Oh, so you're channeling, like, addicted to cigarettes.
Starting point is 00:21:58 No, is it friendly, vibing? No. It's from the edge of those. No, definitely. Fact, I spit on those facts. Like that stuff. Definitely feels... Hey, you want to buy some leaves, man?
Starting point is 00:22:08 Yeah, I don't know. I think it's like kind of gets everyone around, gets your attention. I got the good stuff. I got some acorns in here. Hey, you want to have five stuff, fact, with my scandal. I'll show you some scandal. Like that. Don't hate it.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Thank you. I hate both of your option. I hate it. Sorry, man You don't want the hedge to be dodgy? I don't want a seedy hedge It's not a seedy hedge I don't want someone who's a gun to his head
Starting point is 00:22:29 and he's tied up with a bandage around his face Okay, it's been, that's bad. Okay, they honestly brought all of our ideas suck So back to the drawing board, I think. Well, I think mine's pretty strong So we're probably going to rock with that If that's okay, guys. It would be fair
Starting point is 00:22:43 Because you didn't actually, your mascot got eliminated really. Thank you. Your Arvoh's Head Harder With Sean, Steph and Harrison The Edge. So you know how yesterday Taylor Swift announced the life of a showgirl, the brand new album from Taylor coming out October, doing this huge podcast episode tomorrow morning
Starting point is 00:23:00 with your boyfriend Travis Kelsey on New Heights, okay? We've all heard about that. So I'm trying to pitch to the boys, Harrison and Shaw, a segment that I can really own on the show. And for today's big pitch to you guys, I've been inspired by Taylor Swift. And this is a musical that I have written with Taylor Swift music being the music.
Starting point is 00:23:21 in the musical. Cool. So I'm going to give you the storyline and then I'm going to play bits and pieces of Taylor Swift music that'll go along with the plot. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:30 All right. Okay. So the lead character, her name's Harper, and it's her 22nd birthday. Okay, and this is the opening song. All of her mates are there. It's a big house party
Starting point is 00:23:40 and everyone's singing 22. Okay? Big ensemble number. Partying on stage. However, Harper realizes that her best friend Jess is not. noticeably absent, so she gets a bit bummed out when she blows her candles from the birthday cake. Next scene.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Harper, the main character, who is turning 22, she goes up to the bathroom in this musical, and she looks at her phone, and her ex-boyfriend has messaged her saying, Happy Birthday, Miss You, but she's reminded of, he's a bit of trouble. She sings this to herself in the bathroom. You know what, I'm in. Shame on me. Don't get caught up in that game again, Harper. Okay, and then the next scene.
Starting point is 00:24:26 she's going back down to the party with all of her friends and stuff, and that's when her best friend Jess shows up, who was absent before. And now she's rocked up with this whole new posse of friends and the girls that she arrives with. They hate lead character Harper. And Harper's like, what the hell? You've changed Jess.
Starting point is 00:24:43 And that's when she breaks into... Right? Mad, lovely, she's best friends. What you can't care is Steph standing up and doing all the actions, right, Harrison, of what the dance movies would look like within these are... song, musical pieces. So her ex-best friend
Starting point is 00:25:02 and all of her new bully friends are all like being mean to main character Harper and then Harper leaves her party and goes up to the deck and then she sings a song to herself like this is a slow rendition though so a little bit unlike the original of Out of the Woods.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Oh, we are sitting for her lost friendship? Oh, dramatic. You know, like, oh, are we out of the woods? Like, are we in the clear yet? Good. Oh, we're not? Oh, no. Okay, and that's when her ex-boyfriend, you remember how she got a text message in the bathroom a few scenes ago?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yeah, no, no, the one after the opening number. So he arrives to the party, sweeps her off her feet, and says, you know what, babes, look at you. You're 22, prime of your life, you look stunning. You're an incredible person. You should just shake it off. Okay, now I'm interested to hear Harrison's perspective because you are a trained actor.
Starting point is 00:26:00 You've done musicals. How did you feel about that? My instant feedback, and once again, never seen a musical in my life that felt short to me. You've never seen a music in your life. Oh no, that's exactly how they go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:11 They're all just one scene. I'll say it was a little bit short. It was a little bit short. I was, I have to fit into a three-minute radio break. Yeah, there might be more songs. But I think that musicals were very on the nose, very literal, and that was very on the nose and very literal. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Thank you. I think it could very well be a musical. Well, done, Steph. So I could do a different pop star every day, and the segment segment is called Popstar, the music. So tomorrow could be Benson Boone. And he's sipping on his little,
Starting point is 00:26:38 looking his moonbeam ice cream and whatever, you know? Yeah. Sean, what are you? He could, you want? Once a month? Yeah, it seems like once a month. I'd love if we could just pass him
Starting point is 00:26:46 a Benson Boone as well. Go straight to do a lever or something. Yeah, okay, all right. Your Avos, Head Harder, with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. No, I don't want to complain. I want to be a complainer,
Starting point is 00:26:57 but this is one of me the first time on the show that I've mentioned that my fiancé is not a good cook. God, yeah, you... bang on about that one. It's not actually that she's not a good cook. She's not willing to try it. She doesn't cook.
Starting point is 00:27:10 No, but she probably, I mean, I'm not the chef in my house either. So to represent your fiancé, Jeannie, I would say maybe she sees the joy that it brings you. No. Also different situations, eh? Because your partner Jake, Steph, will cook for you because you, I don't know, maybe because you're at work. And so you come home and there's a cook meal for you? Sean, does Jenny get home before you after you?
Starting point is 00:27:34 Oh, well before me. Interesting. I feel like I tap into trying to do cooking if that was my situation. Yeah. Now, I do enjoy cooking. I'll be honest with you. And she knows that, but not all the time. Sometimes you just want it to be done.
Starting point is 00:27:47 So I'm trying to encourage her to cook a little bit more. I actually couldn't think of anything worse than wrapping up a radio show that you've just talked to for like four hours nonstop and then go home to cook. Like it would be, I do feel it. Yeah, me and my girlfriend's here, we split it. There's no. schedule, but we just feel like that and go,
Starting point is 00:28:06 oh yeah, I can do this. We do it together. That's our kind of our bonding when we get at home is to cook together. That's nice. Why don't you do that to cook together? Yeah, we're moving towards that. You know, so this is what I want to preface this, because I'm big on not discouraging her from cooking at the moment, which is why last night
Starting point is 00:28:24 I stomached through one of the worst things I've eaten in my life. Oh, what did she make for you? She made for me tomato soup from a can. Now I don't think there's anything wrong with tin tomato soup. You know what? In winter I actually think it's not that bad. Put a bit of bread with it. I was
Starting point is 00:28:42 kind of eating this soup going, what has she done to this? This is dreadful. What do you mean what she done? Is tin soap? Isn't it just like you reheat it out of the tin, obviously? And then it's done? That's kind of what I thought. And I was like, she's done something to us. She's put salt in it or something. And she's
Starting point is 00:28:58 put way too much salt in it. It's like, it was very strong and hard to digest. But I just went, hmm, thanks so much. Once again, all she's done is I've been a dinner soup. But I don't want to discourage that. She's cooked. She's prepared me a meal. I'll never complain. Amazing. And then I kind of get
Starting point is 00:29:14 to the end of it, and I look at the soup can that's now in our recycling, and it says condensed tomato soap on it. And I was like, hey, did you, when you whip this up, did you realize this is condensed? You meant to water it down and put something with it, put some water, put a bit of cream with it or something. She goes, oh,
Starting point is 00:29:30 are you? I don't know. No, I just ripped it off and just heated it up. And I was like, okay. I thought it was a concentrated. Yeah. So it was basically like a stomach down a bowl of tomato sauce. With a couple pieces of bread. Did you finish it? I did finish it.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Yeah, because he's got to be encouraging to her. And my insides are turning. I didn't even know condensed tomato is it was a thing. Yeah, you can buy... I'm kind of on genie's side here. I just pour that into the pot and cook. I don't have no idea. Read the tin.
Starting point is 00:30:00 You don't know what condensed is. I don't know what it means. You don't know what the word condensed means. Not really. Condensed milk. I don't know what that means. Creamy. Even condensed might mean creamy.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Genuinely. Okay, so this is now I go back to her and... I don't know. I don't know what I go from here. I think I'm just venting... I think, bite your tongue. I think, honestly, you want her to feel confident and you want her to try again.
Starting point is 00:30:21 And so the last thing you want to do is making her feel like a bit rattled. So I think just... And you're listening, you just keep this in the little trust tree right now. Don't go tell on anyone. And I think, praise her. Good girl, Jeannie. A tap on their head always goes well.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Little tickle under the chin. It seems for me. A little condescending. Not to be confused, Harrison, with condensed. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. A word that I would use to describe this segment. Sean's five-star fact.
Starting point is 00:30:49 But a word that Harrison and Steph obviously won't because you're trying to kill it. Yep. Look, we've given you an ultimatum because for eight months now, you've been trying to get a five-star rating every afternoon giving us a fact and we have to judge it. You've never been successful. We're kind of sick of it.
Starting point is 00:31:07 So we said by the end of next week, if you haven't given us a fact that we deem worthy of five stars, then it's gone. The segment dies. It's rough, man. But it's fair enough. Like, we all have different segments
Starting point is 00:31:18 and if it doesn't work, we have it a week off, and we get back into it, you've been adamant every day for over 100 days. It is fair. So I've got one week, next week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Starting point is 00:31:28 The Java's Fat Tour. You gotta give him that a fact. We're actually touring the country. Yeah, we're going to the people because you're allowed help. You're allowed help from the people. And let's face it, our listeners are always smarter than us. So Wednesday next week, we're going to be in Dunedin, Thursday in Vicargle and Friday, Queensland on our fact tour. And hopefully, getting as many facts as possible from the people and finding Sean finally a five-star fact.
Starting point is 00:31:56 So I'm rallying my people. If you've got one, text it through 3343, we'll be taking facts throughout the show. the next week leading up to it. Of course, the best fact of the lot will win $1,000. My tribute today is Alex from Taranaki. Alex, I've heard your fact off here. It is a heater, my friend. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:15 It's one of those ones that you picked up many, many years ago, and it turned out to be true. Great. Well, we love a fact that sticks to the brain because that is what we're looking for as your judging committee, Harris and myself from producer nurse Sam. we need a fact that's shareable, that's original, and that's well-performed. So over to you, when you're ready, Alex.
Starting point is 00:32:42 So the fact is that Hippo's milk has a pink hue to it. So they produce a two acid secretion that can turn their milk pink and also acts like a sunscreen. Straight off the bat, I have no idea hippos produced milk. What? They're mammals. All mammals produce milk. Really?
Starting point is 00:33:05 Yeah. Oh my God, this is at the time Harrison gave a five-star fact to the fact that extra virgin olive oil shouldn't be used to cook. Can kangaroos produce milk? Well, they're marsupial, so actually, yeah, I think so. Zebras? Yeah, zebras are mammals. They all milk? All mammals produce milk.
Starting point is 00:33:21 When does it all come out of? To their yarn. Okay. No, seriously, where does it all come out? To their nipples? From the female animal's nipples. Wow. I didn't know this. I didn't know it.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Do you know what a mammal is? I, a little bit. Like, I couldn't fully differentiate the two. The two. One's in the water and one's out of the water. What do you mean? It's not even true because dolphins are mammals. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And a whale is a mammal. Okay. Well, that's cool. What do you mean differentiate the two? The two more. No, like, if it's a mammal or not, if you gave me a list of animals, I couldn't tell you what was what really. Okay, bird.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Mammal. No, it's a bird. That's a trick question. Alex is just patiently waiting for you guys to review her fact I think Harrison's blown away by this I'm pretty blown away honestly I can't believe hippos can produce milk A hippo's milk is sunscreen and pink This is an amazing fact and already Alex
Starting point is 00:34:20 I think you've blown us away more than Sean ever has To be honest This is a great fact And I'm okay with that because once again Alex is a champion of myself Okay I'm just happy that Harrison now knows that other things produce milk. Yeah, we all are.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Alex, I'm very happy. We all are. I'm stoked that things produce milk. Yeah, try this. Do we all give individual scores here? Yeah, yeah, let's do that. Production nurse, Sam, what are you going to school, Alex? I'm going to give her a three.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Nice. Any feedback? Feedback is, again, it doesn't change my life. I do know that they're a mammal, and I do know that they have milk. I just didn't really consider the color of it, and that's kind of it for me. You're such a harsh judge. I thought it was a great fact, Alex.
Starting point is 00:35:06 She's the Simon Cowell of the group. I'm obviously the Paula. What do you rate it? Paula? Paula who? Abdul from the original American Idol. Chris Harrison. Randy Jackson.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Yeah, what's up, dog? You're a bit pitchy. What's this thing? Not... No, he said the pitchy thing. No, what does he say it? Not to say dog or something? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:25 No, I don't know. Right, Alex, it's a high four for me. It's a 4.8. It's very, very good. I loved everything about it. Well performed. It's going to stick in the brain. But just...
Starting point is 00:35:34 It's just not a five-star fact, unfortunately. Alex, I know this is rough because you can't possibly be here, but if you were here, I probably would have given you a five. It's a 4.9 for me. I love that. Not bad, Alex. I love that fact. Now, if that's the highest rating at the end of the fact tour,
Starting point is 00:35:49 you will be winning a thousand bucks, but once again, still a chance for someone else to get in there. Thanks so much, Alex. No worries. Thank you, bye. It's a no for me, dog. That's what I was thinking of, Brandy Jackson. I'm really cool. We've never sounded more uncool.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Your Arvoh's Hit Harder. With Sean. Steph and Harrison The Edge Guys, I'm really growing up Yeah Don't know if you can tell Well you can't tell with this
Starting point is 00:36:11 But when you grow up I feel like You put your money towards things Which Things you don't really Ever want to put your money towards Sorry didn't you buy action figures last week Yeah
Starting point is 00:36:21 Doles Doles? Doles Which are Doles? You broke them instantly Action figures Because you made for children If you fixed it actually

Starting point is 00:36:38 See, people like action figures. You guys liked that. No, we always got, because Superman's Superglue. Yeah, well, I think more that he's undefeatable. Oh, no, I was thinking the Superclue, though. You thought that. Yeah, it was good. Play-O words.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Superman, Superglue, yeah, yeah. That's not what I thought at all. Gosh, you guys need to really stand up on your action figures. Oh, yeah. Sorry. But what I did buy on the weekend was a brand new TV. Oh, did you... Oh, come on.
Starting point is 00:37:07 No, it's great. It's nice. I've seen this. I've seen yours in person, Sean. Very nice TV. I remember seeing watching Frozen tour, Sean's house. Steph, that was your demand. Demand's a crazy word to you.
Starting point is 00:37:18 I remember flicking through and going, man, this remote's so like seamless. Like, it's so beautiful. It just all move so smoothly. It's not so janky. What does your remote look like? Oh, was it Apple TV. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Now, the TV, like the buttons, there's Netflix on the remote and everything. Well, I was a weird. Pretty normal. I mean, Apple TV. This is insane that you guys are calling that normal. That's insane. And Steph, I've seen stories and Instagrams.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Your TV's a bit of a home cinema. Nah, I wish. We've got a sound bar and then it's like, I don't even know how many inches it is, but we'd love an upgrade. What inch do you reckon? How many inches? I don't really know how it works, to be honest, genuinely.
Starting point is 00:37:58 How many inches do you reckon, Sean? Mine's 55, I think. which is like that's a standard large television size. Yeah, I think ours is 57 from memory or whatever the next one is. Wow. 30, my last one was. Yeah. 30 inch television. It was quite a small.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I got used to it. And then we, yeah, we went to J.B. High Fire. Got her. Like, man, this is amazing. Brought it home. It's a 55 inch. It is like, I'm at the movies. It is incredible.
Starting point is 00:38:26 And I didn't know this in the shop. But like, me and my partner were like took it out of the box. And it was like we were picking up a piece of glass. glass. It was like picking up a blanket. It was so thin. It's a centimetre thin. So delicate. It is, and why a TV is so thin? I'm going to need to be that thin.
Starting point is 00:38:42 You're right, because you're looking at it from the front. What's the point? We're looking at them from the side. What's the shop and gone? I'm like, far as that's thin? I have no idea. Why would they make them that thin? It's for nobody. I guess everything's going thinner, isn't it? Like Sean's computer? It's pretty thin. Yeah, but that's just...
Starting point is 00:38:56 Celebrities, OZem-Pick? Yeah. What else? Have you peeled the place, the thing off the cover? Well, this is the thing we couldn't afford Since this is my man of the people We couldn't afford a brand new one So we got the display one
Starting point is 00:39:08 You got the display one I didn't know that was an option Harvard in fingerprints It's a mess How much cheaper is it to buy the display one 800 bucks Cheaper? Cheaper?
Starting point is 00:39:18 Yep What was the price? Two That's actually quite I didn't know that was a thing It's $2,000 which I also thought I know that's a lot of money But I thought TV is even more expensive
Starting point is 00:39:28 than that Oh no I bought mine from the warehouse for like 600 bucks. Oh really? Have you got one of those V-ons? Yeah, I've got a V-on. Oh, that rubbish, mate. Are they?
Starting point is 00:39:36 Or they crap house. Well, for you, mate. You thought it was the smoothest remote you ever used. Your mother? It was a nice TV. Your Ravos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Stand work!
Starting point is 00:39:52 Degrees of Stan Walker. Week 15 of asking for your loose connection to Stan Walker via a story. It's a really week 15. Week 15 this week. Whoa, it's a lot of week. A lot of Stan Walker stories. A lot of Sam Walker stories.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Now, we are looking for our favourite San Walker story, and normally our favourite stories have a very low-level connection to the actual Stan Walker. It's normally, I went to the dairy and I stood behind someone who looked like Stan Walker. Or it could be I was at the supermarket
Starting point is 00:40:21 and then I saw him in the same aisle as me and I asked for a photo and he said no. We get a lot of those actually. Yeah, he waved at my car as I drove past. I walked down a driver that he once walked down 10 years ago. That kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:34 The ones that we're not looking for are... I'm a close personal friend of Stan Walkers and I know him very, very well. Nope, that doesn't count. Not interested. This is last week's winner. He was on an episode of What Now that I went to? And at the end of the show, we got to go up and, like, I guess, go up and talk to him. And I basically explained to him the plot of Twilight.
Starting point is 00:40:53 And he responded with, sounds like a good movie, I might have to see it. Wow. Impeccable. Wow. No notes. That's great. And every week, we do this. we go, is this the week that we'll run out of Stan Walker stories?
Starting point is 00:41:06 But I firmly believe, 0-800 the edge, I think every Kiwi, if you dig deep and up on your brain, has a story about Stan Walker, about something that happened to do with Stan Walker. Your best friend has a cousin that has something to do with Stan Walker or something. Your Ivo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Standwater!
Starting point is 00:41:28 Right, should we just get straight into it? Becky. Hello, welcome to the show. What is your Stan Walker story? Hi. So my Stan Walker story is many years ago, probably like 10 years ago, I was at drama school. And one of the guys in my class was going to be a dancer in a Stan Walker music video. And he came to class and was like, oh, you girls can come and like be dancers in the video too.
Starting point is 00:41:52 So we were like, super excited that we were going to be in a Stan Walker music video. So we like got all dressed up and like got our heels on, bust over into the city. And then like we rocked up to the set and like walked in and nobody in. who we were all, like, why we were there. And our friends was like, hey, stay, and these are girls that, like, I've brought along to be in the music video. And he was just like, can someone please remove these girls?
Starting point is 00:42:15 I'm like, no. That's good. That's a good story. Yeah, we just stood too awkwardly and then got us called it out. Oh, I feel that. Getting already, you're so nervous all morning the night before you rock up. When he wants us, he specifically asked for us. Literally, he's like, can you leave, please?
Starting point is 00:42:34 Yeah. Can you please leave? I don't know why you're here. Oh, great. Thank you. Becky. Hard to beat that one. Let's go to Joanne from Auckland.
Starting point is 00:42:43 What is your Stan Walker story? Hi. So I think in 2012, Beyonce came to New Zealand. And I was a huge fan of Beyonce. So we actually stalked her security guard. And we saw that he went to Denny. So we followed him to Denny. And then while we found Beyonce's security guard in Denny's,
Starting point is 00:43:04 So we asked this random man in the line to take a photo of me and the security guard. The guy that we asked got a bit funny and he was like, why do you want a photo? And we were like, can you just get the photo? So he took a photo of me and Beyonce's security guard and then took a photo of himself as well. And then I looked at him to go to the photo again like years later. And I found out of Stan Walker because he opened for Beyonce. So he thought that we were pranking him. That might be the first time ever that someone's asked Stan Walker for a photo
Starting point is 00:43:33 and meant can you take a photo of me and someone else? Wow. I like that one too. A really good one. Beyonce's security guard. Yeah. I love that you thought that Beyonce might show up at Denny's at like 2 in the morning. No, no, I know.
Starting point is 00:43:47 I was still thinking his security, her security guard, Julius, because he was at Denny. Julian. But with the intention of obviously trying to meet Beyonce. No, I don't think that's the intention. I was a Beyonce super fan, so I was also a fan of Julius. Yeah. I think anyone associated with somewhat. like a pop star that you love. It's like, that's great.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Getting crazy. Go for her nail artist. Go for her person that, you know, gave her a sunglasses that one time. Yeah, no, I get it. I like it. I get it. All right, great stories, guys. Okay, let's wrap it up with Fiona. What is your Stan Walker story? I don't think I can beat the last one, but we were in Rarachanga,
Starting point is 00:44:22 2019, on a family holiday. My daughter went off on one of those bus cruise things to all the pub. And they ended up in a nightclub, and Stan Walker was there, so she was dancing with him and all of her friends, all of his friends, and were taking photos. Fun. And again, it wasn't you, Fiona, it was your daughter.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Yes. Not me, it was my daughter. Very into part to this. Perfect. I do think every week we get a story of someone running into Stan and Raritonga. That's so true. The travels are a lot, I think. Okay, so three contenders.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Do we award Becky with the prize for the best Stan Walker's story? Her story was she was invited by Stan Walker to be a backup dancer in his music video but then got turned away when she arrived. I was like, what are he doing you? We don't want you. Or is it Joanne, who went to the Beyonce concert. Stan Walker was opening for Beyonce, then stalked Beyonce's security guard all the way to
Starting point is 00:45:14 Denny's and then by accident, ended up asking Stan Walker to take a photo of her in the security guard and Stan Walker was very confused. Or do we award it to... No, I'm voting for Joanne. Do you want to... Okay. Or Fiona with the Raro, with the daughter, with the Bas, no. No, Joanne, Joanne.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Joanne, Joanne, Joanne's for me too. Joanne, congratulations. Thank you. It's just such a good story. You're Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Guys, I've got an audition coming up and I still am unsure whether I'm going to do it or not. I usually say used to every single audition that I do.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Every single one. But this one's a bit controversial. Yeah, because if you are new listening to the show, Harrison is an actor. He went to Toy Fikari Acting School and he does radio on the after. and acting and stuff in the mornings. You've been doing heaps of auditions lately. Heads of auditions lately, which has been very good, and I'm so grateful, and we're really short on auditions at the moment in New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:46:10 with a lot of what's happening. So any of that come by, I automatically say yes. And I never really run this past you guys, because I'm always going to say yes. I don't need your opinion on whether I should do it or not. But this one I truly do any of opinion on. It's, this... Is it an adult movie?
Starting point is 00:46:27 It's not an adult movie. And I really, I really sound very... No, it's not. It does sound like it. Well, it is an adult movie, technically, but I'm really, I shouldn't even be talking about this. I'm actually, I'm signed a contrary, but I'm definitely not about to talk about this. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:39 But I have this big audition coming up. It's in two days. Got the lines and everything. I'm unsure to do it because it is a hallmark movie. Do you know what these hallmark movies are? Oh my God. On Netflix? I don't know. Hallmark, like, the cards.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like romantic comedies, but like notoriously, really, really. really bad. Yes. So they're like huge in America. They're huge in American and Canadian movies. There's hundreds and hundreds of them. But they're just a bit shocking.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Like here's some examples, like the fixer up and mysteries. A Christmas visitor. A Christmas card. A Christmas reindeer. They're all Christmas. They're all Christmas move. Very low budget, eh? Very low budget.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Oh my God, do it. Have you seen that movie The Room with Tommy Wise? It's like that. Oh, it's not that bad. That's not that bad. But I don't know what the... AI. Yeah, and the acting's all pretty shoddy and stuff. It's just very like, hello Harrison. I see you're blowing on that hot coffee right there. Come over here. I'll help
Starting point is 00:47:39 warm you up. Yeah. It's like cheesy as. So like my agents clearly have sent me this for a reason. You know, they think you can do it. They think I can do it. Yeah. But am I selling out if I do a Hallmark movie? No. I think you are. I think you are. And here's my question. How many big actors like in the world started off in Hallmark? If you can point to a few of them, then do it. If you can't point to anyone successful who's gone through Hallmark, then don't do it, because it could be the dead end that you don't want. How many actors did a couple of things, didn't do so well, and then went to Hallmark movies?
Starting point is 00:48:11 A lot. Yeah, yeah. And I looked at the average score for Hallmark movies, five out of ten. I think everyone's got to start somewhere. Yeah. And like you say, the industry is quite small in New Zealand. I think you shouldn't say no to anything, really. Just like seize, Carpe freaking DM, you know, like cease the day.
Starting point is 00:48:28 And also, look at Megan Markle. One minute, she's opening briefcases on deal or no deal. Next minute, she's on suits. Yeah. And then next, next minute, she's a blooming princess. I'd say all of those are better than the Hallmark movies. So I'm grateful for Hallmark. Shout at Hallmark.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Shout at Hallmark. Shout out Hallmark. I love to do it. But I'm on the fence about it. But you know what the selling point is for me? It shoots in Fiji. Oh, that's good. You didn't say that.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Do it? Definitely do it. Shits in Fiji. Yeah. Should I do it? So the lines will be like, oh, you're... Bull of vernarka. Yeah, your cocktail's looking... I've got nothing.
Starting point is 00:49:06 That's what I'll do the audition. Yeah, you do I, you do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm doing it? Do it! Okay, cool. I think I should come over as your manager, though, just to make sure. Why?
Starting point is 00:49:16 To Fiji? I'd love to go to Fiji. Nah, nah, man, I reckon I got it. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Sean's five-star fact. I've been looking for a five-star fact for eight months. Stephen Harrison have deemed that too long.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Yeah, so the segment could die. You've got up until the end of next week to save the segment by finding a five-star fact. The people can help you out, and that is why we're going to the people on a fat tour. The Air Java's Fact Tour. You've got to give them that a fact. Next week, Daniedon, Invercargill in Queensland. A bunch of smarty pants is there, so hopefully we'll find a five-star fact. Is there?
Starting point is 00:49:53 Yeah, heaps. Yeah, heaps around there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because I want the five-star fact so bad. that I did some research on the smartest places in New Zealand and I got feedback in Vicago. Really? So that's where I'm going.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Where are you from Harrison? Hawks Bay. Oh yeah, bottom of the list. Is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. But right now, your chance to, of course, the best fact of the lot will win a thousand dollars cash.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Wow. Incentive, I think so. Also, if it's five stars, it will save the segment. My champion this afternoon is Steve all the way from the mighty Hamilton. Welcome, Steve. How's it going? Very well, my friend. We're Hamilton on the Smarty Pants list and your research.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Oh, it was up there. Oh, don't say that. It was down there. It was right beside Huntley. All right, Steve, well, $1,000 is up for grabs. Your judging committee, like it is always. Well, I really like to... Just one second.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Sorry, I was going to say, oh, yeah. Go on. Just sorry, just explaining who the judges are. Stop making it awkward, Sam. I'm just explaining who the judges are. It's Harrison, myself, and producer, Sue. Sam, we're looking for a fact worth of your five stars. Go. Okay, so I know that you've been itching for these. So my facts, I came about this few years ago and I didn't believe it. I had to
Starting point is 00:51:10 look it up and it's true. And that is humans can detect rain further than what a shark can sense a drop of blood in water. Wow. What's the definition of detect, Steve? Detect. Detect. Yeah, so basically we can smell rain coming over the hills, obviously in the Waikato. It's quite common. And we can smell it further away than what a shark can smell blood and water. Right. It's an interesting fact.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I believe it. I've fact-checked it. I know it's real. I've never been able to smell rain coming personally. No, you can, though. You can smell it in the air. Yeah. Oh, they just have that musky smell.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Yeah. Is it like a special superpower? Because I know some people can smell ants. I can smell ants and a lot of people can't. Maybe some people can smell rain and some people can't, perhaps. We never smell rain before? I mean, you can see it coming with the rain clouds. I reckon I can smell rain?
Starting point is 00:52:09 Smell rain? I can. I don't know. What it's smell like? Wet. But it's not raining yet when you can smell it. I don't mind that fact. No, I'm not into it.
Starting point is 00:52:22 I quite like it and the sharks and the blood because they're no one for blood, you know? Sharks famously. I just like to think, you know, it just makes a superhuman for us that can smell it, you know? Yeah, right. I reckon I might be a superhuman as well. Stephen, I'm giving that a four, mate. I love that effect. Oh, awesome.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Producing nurse, Sam, what are you going to give him? I give him a four as well. When you think of sharks smelling blood and then just like beelining it for like whatever they're going to kill an eat, you're like, wow, that's like a superpower. But we have that even better than them. Can you smell rain, Sam? Yeah, I can. See, I don't buy this.
Starting point is 00:53:00 I don't get it either. I'm sorry, Steve. I loved the performance, though. I really enjoyed the passion. It's a one and a half from me. Oh, Steve. Not as low as she has gone, Steve. Still in the running for that $1,000, mate.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Okay, guys, when do you get to an age where I fell over, turned two? I had a fall. Because I don't think I'm there yet. But I, um, I tripped over today and I, like, landed on my knees. And I was walking to the, just to the letterbox down, like, literally I've got no driveway, really.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I was just walking to my front door to the letterbox. And I've got, like, a really bung leg at the moment. I'm honestly, think I've got, what's that thing? Sciatica? Like a shooting pain all the way down my leg, especially when I'm sitting cross-legged. Like, how your feet, when you walk, your, like, how your feet are inverted when you walk. Oh, like, pigeon toe. He's you got pigeon toe.
Starting point is 00:53:58 No, I don't. I don't need a pigeon toe. You don't think I do. Maybe I've got a slight pigeon toe. Maybe it's from the side of it. And recently my dog, he was a humongous golden retriever, not to fat shame or anything. But, you know, he's eating a lot of the babies drop downs at the moment. He's put on some kilos.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Okay. He is. He's a big boy. And so recently he got so excited. He was still on the lead and he was running to try and get another dog. And he ran straight into the front of my knee and kind of like, like, be. my whole leg back a little bit, not to the point where I had to go and see someone about it, but it's just been sore since.
Starting point is 00:54:32 So I'm dealing with Cyrica, a bung, knee, and so something was just a bit off. And my leg just gave way today, walking to the letterbox. Well, you didn't even trip over anything, you just gave out. It just gave out. That's not a good science, dear. And then, I landed on my knees, my terrible knee, and just my normal knees, and maybe now they're both bad. And I just, no one was around, so I wasn't embarrassed or anything.
Starting point is 00:54:53 I was just kind of just stood up, and I was like, what just happened? And then I was like, oh my God, did I just have a fall? Because I didn't, there was nothing in my way. There was no one around. There was no reason for me to fall at all, really. What age range are you in? What's the age ranges? 20 to 30, 30 to 40.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Um. We can do 25 to 35. Oh, no, I'm like, I'm like 21 to 33. You're up a echel on a day. I like the term she's had a fall. I don't like that term, but it's quite a funny thing to say for someone who's in their 30s. I always do it to my fiancé genie. If she's done something little that's wrong at home, I'll say that she's had an episode.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Aw, an episode. So she'd be like, she breaks a glass of it. Did you have another episode? Oh, that's so sad. It's just broke a glass. It's an old person, too, mate. Don't worry, she's had an episode. A former nurse, producer Sam, working on the show at the moment.
Starting point is 00:55:54 And, I mean, you would have seen a lot of people who's, had falls. And we don't want to make too much fun because my granddad literally did die from this. It's a good reason to not make too much fun. We did guys, so I just wanted to take this a bit more seriously. Sorry. So yeah. But Sam,
Starting point is 00:56:11 from your experience, is it a 33 year old kind of thing having a fall or can I still say I just fell over? I... This is a hard one because you're creeping on that era. No, I am not. Are you joking me? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:56:29 Well, I just mean like when people have early onset things, it can kick in now. Science. Science. This is true. This is true. You asked the news that stuff. I know. I know it's a reality check.
Starting point is 00:56:42 So what do you think she's got early onset? What? I don't know. We're going to have to do some test guys. It's serious. That's okay. So we'll get one of those buttons that she can push in her house. Yes, we need to get rails on the side.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Yeah, rails on the side of your bed. On the bath. And what are they doing? Seat in the shower? Seat in the shower. Lovely. Now we're talking. Grippy socks.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Grippy socks so you don't slip. Is that what you provide at the hospital? We do. Wow. And someone just to go and make sure she takes her pills every morning. Get someone to pop over there. He's getting old rocks. Oh, you got a real fast man.
Starting point is 00:57:17 It's crazy. It happened instantly. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Harrison are the latter of the three of us currently on a process. of writing an autobiography, which I think is brave, considering you're only 25 years of age. I know, but I feel like I've done so much in my life.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Hence why the title of this autobiography is called Harrowing Keith. I think my life's been pretty harrowing. Really? Yeah, harrowing life, man. Really? Honestly. Didn't you have, like, really lovely supportive parents, and you've just followed all your dreams?
Starting point is 00:57:47 Yeah, but it's not all swings you round about. It's not all perfect, you know? Yeah, I guess so. It's definitely some haught and some harrowingness in there. So I've seen people do it. Someone used to work in the show, Chris, Mark did it. Easy.
Starting point is 00:57:58 He wrote a book, yeah. Ghost writers I heard as well. I don't think that's true. I think Chris Parker did write as own doing it. No, I've heard ghost riders, but I'm writing as myself. All of this myself. Ex-all blacks do it. They will do it.
Starting point is 00:58:09 And so I've ridden it. Ex-all blacks. Yeah, X all blacks. That's who old are to be writing. You know, I'm fresh. I'm in it. Let's write right now. I hope it's a trilogy too, so I think it's ever been done an autobiography for trilogy.
Starting point is 00:58:21 That's kind of the goal, so I'm going to start this one now. But I've read a chapter to you. It was the birth chapter. and now I've got another draft chapter Are you guys open to hearing this? And just give me some notes at the end If you have any, you don't need to But if you have any, I'm definitely open to hearing some.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Please. I feel like he doesn't really want to hear nights. No, no, you can. Just write them down and I'll read them later. I need to hear them right now. Oh, so you don't want notes? Write them down and hand them to producer Sam and then she'll definitely hand them to me.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Okay. Okay. Here we go. Chapter 5. The first speech It was a cool winter morning The hairs individually stood tall On my back of my neck
Starting point is 00:59:04 I gazed in the clouds As my toes sung to the ever-growing greenery Mother and father walk out The reader of the home Placing themselves on the porch Proud, loved I feel the saliva trickled down my chin Drenching the collar of my shirt
Starting point is 00:59:19 The corner of my upper left Please don't laugh It's an autobiography It's harrowing stuff Sorry The corner of my upper left lip twitches I feel a growing power in my body I look at the birth givers
Starting point is 00:59:32 down the barrels of their eyes and push out my first ever words you little and then some you crackers End of chapter So
Starting point is 00:59:49 Geez Terry I'm reading it As So that chapter was your first word As I'm going to guess like a two year old or something like that. And you swore at your parents, six months. Yeah, so I could walk and run and say words at six months.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Wow. I had first words. So I had a sentence. Full, seen it, swearing, swearing in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Wow, so what were you after some crackers? You just really wanted them.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Nah, I called them, I said, you guys are crackers. Oh, I see, I see, I see, okay. But they're just a, crackers. Do you know? Your dad's Maori. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so you could run and walk before you could speak,
Starting point is 01:00:31 and then when you did decide to speak, you spoke an entire sentence listed with explicits. Yeah, it was a third. They had two more than house. It's quite amazing. It's quite amazing. I'll read this book. It's interesting to me.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Yeah, you'll read it up. I'll write down my notes, so I'll pass them on to the producer to pass them on to you. Thank you. I've got a few notes. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Taylor Swift announced a new album. Did you hear?
Starting point is 01:00:54 You've been on the internet in the last 24 hours? Pretty big deal. I've got in the top three today. The top three things that I hope feature on this brand new Taylor Swift album. It's that time of the day. The time to get your news. Brought to you by...
Starting point is 01:01:07 That empty feeling, knowing that Love Island UK is over and you don't know what to do with your life anymore. And presented by... When you argue with your partner and you go to the storm off and you stub your tone and embarrass yourself. It's the edge top three. There's nothing worse. I think the only thing worse than that is having a real good argument
Starting point is 01:01:25 with someone and then like, stuttering over your words or saying something wrong? Yeah. It's embarrassing. Hey, our top three things that I think should be on the new Taylor Swift album or is a big Swifty myself. You are not, please. You both of you know what a big Swifty I am.
Starting point is 01:01:42 What I'm looking forward to maybe hearing on the new Taylor Swift album, Life of a Showgirl. I hope she talks about her time being employed by the New Zealand business showgirls because that would be really eye-opening, wouldn't it? It would be shocking to see what Taylor Swift. with experience at her time at showgirls. Why had for a showgirl? I think she worked at show girls.
Starting point is 01:02:01 She definitely worked at show girls. Did she? You'd know. 55 Customs Street East in Auckland. Great establishment. Ask for Mary Ann. To worry. Two. I hope she uses it as a springboard to announce a tour.
Starting point is 01:02:14 What? Crazy little dress. Yeah, it was too fast. Too fast. Anyway, number two. Number two. I hope she uses it as a springboard to announce a tour where she goes through all of her albums
Starting point is 01:02:24 and the time periods that she's had. She just did that. Did she? Yeah, the biggest grossing tour of all time. Did she? Yeah. I don't hear anything about it. Three.
Starting point is 01:02:33 And the things I hope Taylor Swift features on this brand new album. I hope she writes a disc track about Jason Kelsey, who's Travis Kelsey's brother, because he's a real nice guy, and it would force Travis Kelsey to have to choose sides, and then a documentary crew could start following them, and there'll be like the new Kardashians, but with less BBLs. Not no BBLs, just less BBLs. Why, who's got a BBL?
Starting point is 01:02:55 You know. Who? You know he's got a BBL. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, thanks for listening to the podcast. Hope you enjoyed. This is a little extra, but we do. The podcast outro sometimes goes a little off-scrape.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Sometimes a way for you to get to know us a little bit better. So today I thought I'd bring a game to the table. It's called Truth or Truth. Now, similar to the game, Truth or Deer, although it's not because deer is not an option. So it's just a way for us to get to know each other. By asking questions to each other, none of which are off limits. Once again, podcast outro, not on the radio.
Starting point is 01:03:27 No BSA complaints come in. Ask away whatever you would like to know or whatever, you know. Have you got some pre-done? Yes. Okay, cool. I'll drop my head. So, no, I haven't. So first question I would ask is,
Starting point is 01:03:41 what is the strangest animal you've ever eaten? Oh, easy one for me. Go on. It's been heaps of weird stuff. I had turtle soup. I'd scorpion. I had snake. I had puffer fish, which can kill you.
Starting point is 01:03:53 If it's not cooked properly, you had to eat. them. Tarantula. Yeah, it's about it, probably. Snails. Yeah, mine's probably like a lamb's tail. Lamb's tails. Is that really it?
Starting point is 01:04:09 I haven't lived New Zealand, really. You guys have been very, very well-traveled. Kudos to you both. I'd love to do that. But even, like, weird, like, seafood or anything? Oh, I'd been, like, awful. What's that? Oh, it's stomach, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:04:22 Yeah, sweet breads. it's like sheep's intestines A lot of mouldy delicacy You're like Fucking guts That's actually horrific to eat Apparently they're really good for you though Like eating organs
Starting point is 01:04:35 It's really like heaps and uterins It's in the organs We don't eat them I've let it lots of like cow neck Sleep neck Sleep neck Real random shit Yeah
Starting point is 01:04:46 See that's good I feel like we've got to know each other A little bit better Me too Do you know else have a question I haven't I haven't breached you at all I've got another question for you
Starting point is 01:04:56 Yes Alright If you could introduce A celebrity Third wheel into your bedroom And ride the tricycle With a third person Who would you choose
Starting point is 01:05:07 Can we say who we think It will be for the others Yeah I love that He was a Sydney for sure Yeah no absolutely Oh my god blink Your eyes widened Pop out of his
Starting point is 01:05:17 It can stop them from hitting the floor You know that cartoon of Oh Go with the eyes light up. Yeah, that's what just happened in the studio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're okay there? So who are yours be?
Starting point is 01:05:28 I don't know, who do you think? Sydney, Sweeney as well. Tini Swaney? I don't know who yours be. Nah, I'm not very, I'm not confident sexually. So it would have to be someone pretty low-key. I reckon the... Like a Jack Black or someone.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Who'd just make it fun. That's a funny take on it. I'm not confident sexually. Someone who's nice and will just watch and not tell anyone. Oh. It's because Cindy Sweetie's going over to Hollywood after fucking Umb and telling everyone, you know. But Jack Lake would just keep it fun, and he'll be like just happy to be there. Steph has a good, if you heard Steph's reasoning on the celebrity crush all the hall pass, Harrison,
Starting point is 01:06:05 she wants someone who's like attainable so that like... You're not intimidated. Yeah. Like if your hall pass or whatever is, like Jason... You're not disappointed by it. Jason Moore, then it's like... Then it's like, oh my God, like... Well, he's an animal.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Yeah, but I'd be like... intimidated, I'd freeze up, I'd just starfish, because there's nothing, I'd have a panic attack, and then he'd think that I'm really shit. So you want to pick someone more like, hmm, oh, like the lead guy from Severance, Adam Scott. Yeah. Someone like him, because like, not intimidating. And he'd be like, oh, fuck, she's a bit of all right, because he's like, I'm probably the killer, but, you know. Also, you hate to think the whole time that, like, oh, they're not enjoying this.
Starting point is 01:06:43 I like what he's thinking, but it makes me think the question, why even answer the question of who's your whole past, you know, if you go, I don't. want anyone that's been an average bloke. Yeah, because if it's like someone say, poor, Harry Stiles or something, then he's comparing you to every supermodel that he's ever banged, which is so many hot people.
Starting point is 01:07:05 And I'm like, he wouldn't forget about it. No, so you just forget about it. Try and get out of your head in that moment, you know. Poor. I mean, he'd be it for me, by the way. Harry Stiles. Yeah. Do you know what I think would suit you?
Starting point is 01:07:19 Hit me. I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm sure you do, is the priest from Fleabag? Oh, the Irish guy. Yeah. Oh, that's not. That's not in a woman. I'm good.
Starting point is 01:07:31 It's an economist? I don't think so. He's hot. I just thought you'd find him hot. Is he? He's notoriously known for being very hot. Is he? Yes.
Starting point is 01:07:40 He's like... Maybe I'm not remembering him right then. The whole thing is like, I'm going to get the priest from Fleabagberg. He goes to obsessed with the priest from Fleabag. Okay, let me quickly Google. Yeah, he's not... Unattractional. He looks like Adrian Brody a little bit.
Starting point is 01:07:54 No. That's a big column. Is it? Is it? Yeah. Ah, he's very unintimidating. Oh. Who does yours be, Harrison?
Starting point is 01:08:10 Uh. Who to choose, really, isn't it? Probably just tape McRoehry. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And doable. Pardon? So you think that's attainable?
Starting point is 01:08:20 You know, I've always on my head, like some celebrity, like, you're like, oh, you know, one day you could, it could happen. Yeah. And this job, you mean, that's what I mean. I'm like, oh, that could actually happen, one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Filed a full single. Yeah, yeah. To be Craig was there?
Starting point is 01:08:33 Full single. I don't know if that's the phrase. But, like, tell you what, it could happen. And the amount of famous people I've had to turn down over the years. I mean, I've lost count. I know. It's just hard life. It annoys me.
Starting point is 01:08:46 I once hooked up with, that doesn't matter. Oh, my God. It's not even a good. Garn. Just who? No, the chick who was the Bachelor at. Oh, yeah. Fuck's sakes.
Starting point is 01:08:58 That's pretty. As far as I've got as New Zealand shit liberties. Oh, sad. Do you remember there was a guy who used to be a producer here? I'm not going to say who his name is. But The Bachelor was on at the time. And I remember because he produced one of the shows.
Starting point is 01:09:10 And all of the woman who got eliminated from the Bachelor would come through the radio station and do interviews. And he would tear up all the interviews. And he just went on dates with every single one of them. It just went like one after another after. I think we were on dates. It was the season with NAS, I think.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Yeah. He was that one or the one after the Lily one. But he just dated like five bachelorette. Just straight off the show and he was just like, let's go grab a drink. What? It's very smart. It's a great time to do it. And if you're young and single and they're young and single, then it's just a good time, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:09:42 That's a great little bit. Yeah. Yeah. They're vulnerable. They're on the edge. They're happy to be there. Yeah. They're vulnerable.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Want to go on a date. Yeah. Well, they are von. vulnerable. I'd say they're bloody, you know, just keen to mix and mingle. Yeah. Anyway, on that note, I hope you learned something a little bit about ourselves. I shall have. That's a fun game. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.
Starting point is 01:10:08 Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
