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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
with the letter J
for $10,000
please name for us
a word ending
an R.
Jasper.
A male artist.

Jacob!
Oh, that's not good.
You got A man.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
Really?
Truly.
Truly, truly, truly.
Actually?
Promise.
Wow.
Keanu.
Keanu.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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,
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.
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
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
Doles
Doles?
Doles
Which are Doles?
You broke them instantly
Action figures
Because you made for children
If you fixed it actually
I had to go eat some super glue
Oh yo
That's an adult purchase
Yeah
Not to fix your dolls
Ironically
The broken doll was Superman
Ah.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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?
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
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?
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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!
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.
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?
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
down the barrels of their eyes
and push out my first ever words
you
little
and then some you
crackers
End of chapter
So
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
No.
That's a big column.
Is it?
Is it?
Yeah.
Ah, he's very unintimidating.
Oh.
Who does yours be, Harrison?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
