Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Welcome to the show, Sean, Steph and Harrison. Sean and Harrison coming to you live from Tamaki Makoto. Steph live in the capital city today in Wellington. And I'll tell you what, Wellington. It is an absolute privilege to be inside of you this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:00:24 What a glorious day it is here. How about you fellas? It's good. Steph. Everyone's asking it. Is it windy or what? It's actually not. It's actually one of those days that I think.
Starting point is 00:00:35 I think people refer to it as you can't beat it. You can't be on a good day. You can't be welly on a good day. It's one of them. It's one of them guys. It's a good time. Yeah, they say that. But then you only get one of those good days in Wellington like five times a year.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Once every blood burn I heard. Yeah. The rest of it you're being blown off your feet. Upon my arrival this morning in the Capitol, I'm deeply, deeply saddened to tell everybody that, I mean, everyone's across the tooting tunnel, right? Yeah, definitely. So it's this tunnel that's in the CBD
Starting point is 00:01:06 and everyone toots when they go through the tunnel and it's like tradition and it's so much fun. Guess what, guys? Two pitiful little measly toots this morning. Oh, what's happened? The sad part is no one's tuning, but the sad part is, I want to put on anybody, but everyone who didn't to, that's bad luck for 10 years.
Starting point is 00:01:26 That's the rule of it. Is it? He's not cursed now, because it's about a dead one. woman, you toot for the respect to the dead woman who's buried by the tunnel, so now they're going to be cursed. So I'm sorry to all the Wellingtonians, you screwed yourself up. Quickly, Steph, did you two on your way through? Well, no, I did think about asking the Uber driver
Starting point is 00:01:41 if he could possibly toot, please. Your curse. Oh, my God, you're cursed as well. That sucks. That sucks. But I wasn't driving, does it still count? I think you have to do the rest of the show of the year. In Wellington, Seth, you can't come back. Nah, we'll get some sage. We'll sage out your side of the studio.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean. Steph and Harrison The Edge Easy Money is the game It's very simple We'll give you a letter between E and Z It's the name Easy Money You got 30 seconds
Starting point is 00:02:11 10 questions answer each one within the time Win 10,000 bucks Good luck Shoes Here to play Easy Money And she would spend $10,000 to stalk Joseph Momor in Hawaii Please welcome Jackie
Starting point is 00:02:25 To the show Hey Jackie Hey guys Guys, how like you? Great. Jackie Schneller, that reminds me of a famous skier from Canada called Fanny Smeller. Oh, thank you. Yeah, you remind me with that person. No, I think it's Schmeller.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Schmeller, Fanny Schmeller. But then Jackie's not, it's not spelled that way. Jackie's Nellar, Fanny Schmeller. Okay. Hey, come on, Keith. What's wrong with Keith? For alone. Oh, cheers, Tiff.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Jackie, I don't know if you can stalk Jason in a mile, mate. No, I don't know if I go to stalk him, but I definitely take my kids. Oh, yeah. You know, the truth is Steph's in Wellington right now, Jackie, so she can't see your name. A producer put in saying you'd go to Hawaii, and that's what you used the money on. And Steph asked for what she wrote,
Starting point is 00:03:09 and I said that you'd stalked Jason Amora, and that was a lie. I just wanted to prank Steph. And then I didn't know about that lie, so I thought there was an actual thing you said, so I'm sorry for now accusing you for being a stalker. All round. I'm sorry about that one.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Guys, we can't confuse Jackie before she's about to hopefully win $10,000. This is a big moment for you, Jackie. and great choice in Hawaii. What a destination. I mean, you've got the tropical island and you've got the American portion sizes. I mean, it's the best place. Have you seen the portion sizes there?
Starting point is 00:03:40 It's like humongous. Anyway, Jackie, you'll have 30 seconds. Your letter will be the letter T. T for tyrannosaurus rick-sized meal portions in America. Love that. That's great. T for Tlofa, which you could see. still years anywhere in the world. T for train wreck, which I felt like was kind of the beginning of this segment.
Starting point is 00:04:06 But now we're off to a good start. Back on the track. Now we're back on the track. All right, Jackie, you can pass and hopefully we'll have time to get back to the category that you've skipped. You can't repeat answers. And your time will begin when I finish saying the first category. Jackie, are you ready? Not sure, Anne.
Starting point is 00:04:23 All righty, Jackie, with the letter T for $10,000. Please name for us. A movie. Titanic. A car brand. Toyota. A type of dance. Tep.
Starting point is 00:04:42 A fabric. Pass. A type of pasta. Total eating. A cartoon character. Caffee. A body of water. That's a hard one.
Starting point is 00:05:06 What's a fabric that starts with tea? A fat break. You could have said, I don't know what these are, Jackie. Tool, Tweed or taffeta. Oh, that's so hard. It's so hard. That is real difficult. I do so well in the car. I know. Everyone says that.
Starting point is 00:05:21 It is easier in the car, but when you're on the station, you know, nerves get the best here. But congrats, Jackie. Not a bad if you got halfway, so good on you, mates. Short, Jackie. Thank you guys. Thank you, guys. Thank you, guys. Yeah, 100 bucks, coming your way.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Thank you, guys. Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. You've probably seen the news today. Taylor Swift's on a bloody podcast. Now, why is that a big deal? She's never done one before ever. And she did it with her partner, Travis Kelsey, and his brother, Jason Kelsey's podcast, New Heights, which is a football podcast.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Harrison, you got swept up in it. You watched the whole thing. My girlfriend woke up when we watched it together. The title of the podcast, Taylor Swift on reclaiming her masters, rapping the air is tour, and the life of a showgirl. It currently has 5 million views. dropped four hours ago. So what's that average?
Starting point is 00:06:10 Almost a million views an hour. It's insane. There's one clip in it where they talk about how he kind of asked Taylor out on the podcast. Now before we play the clip, Steph, who's live from Wellington with us today, you know a little bit more about the background of this day. He asked her out on the pod. Is that way he wrote his number on a bracelet or something? Yeah, he shared the story on the podcast about how he went to the concert
Starting point is 00:06:32 and he realized that friendship bracelets were like a Taylor Swift thing. He saw all the fans talking about it. You remember that, Boise, during the Erez tour, the friendship bracelet stuff. I made mine. Did you? Yeah, exactly. He had written his number, his phone number, on a friendship bracelet. And because he knew the stadium really well, he's played football there tons of times,
Starting point is 00:06:51 he was friends with the lady that ran the elevator. And so he tried to get backstage after the show to give his number on the friendship bracelet to Taylor Swift. And the elevator lady was very, very good at her job. And was like, well, no, because you don't have the right accreditation to go to Taylor Swift's dressing room. strange man but like footballer man that I kind of know um and so yeah then he took to the podcast and told that story and then it obviously popped up all over social media Taylor Swift isn't on social media but her friend saw her and showed her and she was like oh he's kind of cute and that's kind of how it all began so this is what they meant when they said this in the podcast today I guess like it was such a
Starting point is 00:07:29 wild romantic gesture to just be like I want to date you at first when I looked at it I was like this dude didn't get a meet and greet he's making it he's making it everyone's problem. And she kind of roast some for it, which I like. I don't know, I'm not a massive Swifty. Harrison likes Taylor Swift, you're a massive Swifty? Some particular albums.
Starting point is 00:07:45 We both came out of it, that watching that podcast, being like, I like them as a relationship. I'm quite obsessed with them now. I liked it. And I think because, you know, that's the whole thing about, everyone knows it's the first time Taylor Swift's
Starting point is 00:07:55 in on a podcast and talked. She's pretty good, man. Yes, I thought, um, I thought, um, Steph watching it that he might be quite a simp towards her and be like a little bit afraid of her. But he gives her a bit of slack. She gives him a bit of slack. so this is the moment here.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Just come outside and meet me. Just meet me once. Give me a chance. I was like, if this guy isn't crazy, which is a big if, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.
Starting point is 00:08:24 And I was sitting there at the Airst Tour listening to every single one of those songs. Like, I know what she wants me to do. Okay, so he basically shows up, tries to make his way down the elevator, tries to creep into her green room, is yelling out. out to her online. My thing is
Starting point is 00:08:39 a lot of people say this is romantic. I think if he's not a celebrity, he gets a restraining order. Oh yeah. It's a bit creepy. Oh yeah. No, that's such a good take from you, Sean. It was one of you boys who mentioned that restraining order alert. Doesn't work. Doesn't work. Doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:08:54 But I want to open it up, 0800 the edge. When did you make or receive a grand romantic gesture and did it work out or not? Because we've all got stories about doing it. I've done some cringe things in my time for X's Harrison. I'm guarantee you have. Oh, maybe once, not often though.
Starting point is 00:09:09 You, Steph, have you done anything or received a grand romantic gesture? Nah. I'm kind of feeling bummed out, but I can't wait to hear these stories. Was it both of you doing the romantic gestures or receiving? Doing for me.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I reckon I've bought, every girl I've ever had a fling with, I bought her like a teddy. Like, you know, that kind of thing. It's just embarrassing. Your Arvos, Hit Harder, with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. I'm talking about this new Taylor Swift podcast
Starting point is 00:09:34 with New Heights, her partner, Travis Kelsey and his brother, Jason Kelsey, and how he kind of did quite a bold romantic gesture to try and get them to date. He ended up trying to essentially break into her dressing room. She was performing at the arena where his football team plays, the Kansas City Chiefs. He tried to make his way down the elevator, but the elevator woman wouldn't let him.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Like, it was such a wild romantic gesture to just be like, I don't want to date you. At first when I looked at it, I was like, this dude didn't get a meet and greet. he's making it everyone's problem. So our philosophy on this is, you know what, if he wasn't a celebrity and he wasn't attractive, definitely a restraining order, right?
Starting point is 00:10:13 But he's also like he's 6'5, he's a unit, he looks a little bit scary. Like it's a bit, it's quite stalkerish behaviour. Definitely is. Yeah. Yeah, but it's like, it is exactly what every kind of girl wants. It's like romantic. It's like someone taking charge
Starting point is 00:10:28 and showing that you're interested and just kind of balls to the wall and going for it, No, I love it. So we want to know, 0-800-the-edge, grand romantic gestures. Have you done one? Have you received one? How did it go? Let's go to the phones right now.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Miranda, 0-800-the-edge. What was the grand romantic gesture that you received? So I was getting a new tattoo, and I decided to get my partner at the time's name tattooed on my back. But I made sure I got it put in an area that I could cover up because I knew the relationship wasn't going to last. So, yeah, it was a nice gesture, but I also protected myself, which was a win-win.
Starting point is 00:11:14 What? So why did you get it in the first place? I feel like, okay, well, I'm going to dump him eventually. Well, I just wanted to do something nice, like make them feel appreciated and make them feel loved, you know. Miranda, you are a. Yeah, I shouldn't have. No, but you're a gem, and that says a lot about your personality, Miranda.
Starting point is 00:11:34 You're probably kind to a fault perhaps. Like, that is such a lovely thing to do for somebody else. God, just take them through Maccas or something next time Miranda. That's all you need to do, right? Yeah. I get him for Sunday. I love that. The idea of being like, I'm going to get my partner's name tattered on me. We are going to break up, but I'm still going to go through with it.
Starting point is 00:11:55 But don't you guys think that says a lot about her? Like, what a beautiful soul, you know? I'm going to cheer him up by tattooing his name on me forever. And we've also got Norm B. waiting on hold as well in 0,800 the edge. Big romantic gestures. Was it you giving it or receiving it? Yeah, I definitely tried to give a big romantic gesture.
Starting point is 00:12:15 What'd you do? I'm a songwriter, and I met this girl that I really liked. I guess it's just in my nature that I truck, put pen to paper and pick up the guitar. I wrote her a song, and I went to an open mic night, and she came along, and I got to play it for her, and I kind of thought, this is perfect. and then, you know, we were flirting, I told her how I felt, and then, yeah, nothing really happened. She kind of said later, no, I'm not really interested.
Starting point is 00:12:43 I felt blindsided, and I was just like, okay, so I guess it's not always the awesome ending that you expect. But, yeah, I gave it a go and unfortunately missed. Normie, that is such a beautiful thing. I think that works for, Steph, surely that works for other women. I reckon, oh, I don't know, yeah. I'm so sorry. No, I reckon that was a beautiful thing you did.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I want to hear the song. Do you remember any of it? Don't make him sing a. Sing a line, Normie, please. We got you, Normie, we love it. The lyrics are very simple. The words were, there's only one sun in the sky. There's only one girl in my life.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Only one. There's only one whiskey I drink. There's only one thought that I sing. Only one. And then the last words were, there's only one moon that shines at night. There's only one girl in my life. Only one.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I put the video on TikTok. I made a wee video for TikTok, so it is on the issue. Normie! Normie! Normie! That's so cute! Normie! What's your handle if people want to go and hit you up and try and get on a date with you, man? Because I think there are some girls list thing you think that's romantic.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Yeah, it is. Okay, so on TikTok and Instagram, it's under Normie World, but the word world has no o in it. Love it. Producer, Sam, just throw a hand up. Would you date Normie, Sam? You see him interested. Based on that song, yeah, I'd give it a go. Maravos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:14:09 The Edge. Sean's five-star fact. The five-star fact is a part of the show where I will give our judges, Harrison, Steph and producer nurse stam a fact. They will rate it out of five stars. It's been going on for a minute now and we had an update earlier this week. I didn't realize, I guess, how you two felt about the five-star fact. Yeah, we're around the Fed. about it, mate, you're about 150 facts in, I think, and we've kind of put the stakes that
Starting point is 00:14:38 if you don't get a five-star fact, we're going to take it around the country. If you don't get a five-star fact, we're canning the segment. Yeah, you've got up until the end of next week, Sean, and the people are allowed to help you. And, in fact, we've got $1,000 on the line. If a fact is provided by the people, then whether you're five stars, then they could be winning a thousand bucks. So, I mean, it's desperate times, isn't it? that Harrison.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Very desperate measures. Yeah, very. So I guess it's never been more important than this next seven days for me to get a five-star fact. I'm going to have a go right now, but I will get a couple shots later in the show for you to deliver your five-star fact and try and win that thousand dollars and save the segment. So I just text in your factor three, three, three, four-three. We could be calling you back to, I have a crack at it.
Starting point is 00:15:23 But today's five-star fact is a Wales fart bubble is so big that you could fit a Volkswagen golf inside of it. Okay, some initial feedback for me, if I may. The sound effects that you're using there, Sean, I mean, I'm only assume, I'm not in the same room as you right now, I'm in Wellington,
Starting point is 00:15:54 but I'm only assuming they're not coming from your bottom and their sound effects? What sound effects? What I'd say is you're talking about a whale fart and how they're huge, the size of a car. Yeah. The cute little sound. sound effects you've gone with are quite like,
Starting point is 00:16:08 they're quite little, like, their little baby farts. I want a big whale-sized, bo-sound effect. So, that's, truthfully, that's like, that's going to mark you down for me. Better.
Starting point is 00:16:22 That's a lot better. That was a whale fart. Steph, I'm in a similar vein, but I thought too many sound effects. I thought, what the first fart, it made me chuckle. From the second onwards, too many fart sounds.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Can I be honest with you? I was only going to do one. Yeah. I loved your reaction so much that it, like a child who was performing for someone, I was really, I was pushing it. See, but you're to tease it. You know, no one to stop. Let me laugh at that joke. Don't carry on with that.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Sorry. It's okay. Give me one fart that's more loud and bellowy, just like a whale fart would be. Okay, but let's strip it back from. So this is on the performance element, obviously, but there are three pillars of effect, as we know, the performance, the originality and the sheer ability. What are your thoughts on the other two pillars? Yeah, I mean, I've never heard it before. It's definitely original.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Will I share it? Hmm. Boy, you're so going to share that. Don't tell me you're not sharing that. You so will. I don't know I will. What was the car model again? It's, okay, sorry, let me perform it again.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Vodwagon. Yeah, Voltwagon, golf. See, can I just, a little editor here editing? I'd just say car. Yeah, I thought it would be funnier to give a specific make of a car. It's not funny. That's harsh. That's harsh.
Starting point is 00:17:32 It's true, but it's hard. Save it with the good fat. Damn it. Okay, producer nurse Sam, yeah. Producer Nurse Sam, what is your feedback
Starting point is 00:17:40 and you're racing on five feet? I'm going to see a tough judge. Yes, so I actually kind of like it. It's like science meets comedy. It's original. It's shareable. And we can all relate to a Volkswagen golf, right?
Starting point is 00:17:55 I think now whenever I see one, I'll be like, oh, yep, Wales butt. But again, it's just not quite a five star, Sean. So I'm going to give you today,
Starting point is 00:18:05 three. Oh, three. She loves a three. It's a trending three for Sam. I'm going to give you 2.5. Did love it.
Starting point is 00:18:18 And again, I've said too many farts. You've done 20 since I said that. Steph, what are you going to give it out of five? I'm giving you a 4.6. Wow. Had you given me a lower, more whale-like fart noise? It would have been a five.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I really liked it. Okay. Well, that wasn't the five-star. Sean. It's okay. I'll come back in Raleigh. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Taylor Swift's brand new, oh, it's not even a brand new podcast. The first podcast that she's ever been on.
Starting point is 00:18:49 She never does interviews. She's done this one with her boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, his brother, Jason Kelsey, an hour and 45 minutes. I've listened to 10 minutes of it. Harrison, you've listened to an hour. You loved it. I loved it. It gave me a whole new perspective on who Taylor Swift is. I really liked it. Steph, I assume you've listened to the entire thing three or four times.
Starting point is 00:19:07 That's about you could have it on loop since it started and get to that point. No, you'd think so. Oh, I can hear myself back. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello. Can you hear me twice? Oh yeah, here you go. Is that better? That's better.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I'm only halfway through because I've been working all day and visiting my lovely mother and grandmother in Wellington. So, no, boys, I'm desperate to finish it. But obviously, love doing the radio show with both of you. It's an honour and the privilege. Oh, so we're holding you up from that. Sorry, Steve. The Taylorst Drive.
Starting point is 00:19:36 It's okay. But I'm enjoying it so far. So there's a moment in it where at the very start where she talks about how she loves the podcast, like genuinely loves it. We've already been over this. You're a big fan of the show. You're a 92%er. What are your favorite segments that you hear Travis and I go into on a routinely basis? I love no dumb questions.
Starting point is 00:19:55 I really like it when you give people advice. It's kind of my personal favorite. I mean, I think that like you guys give such male-centric advice, which I think, which I think it's just like just dudes who don't want drama. Dudes who are trying to avoid the mess. So she loves the male-centric advice. And she's got a, I think I would say a lot of our fans are Taylor Swift fans, which makes me extrapolate from that.
Starting point is 00:20:19 We need to be giving more men's advice on this show. Absolutely. I think so too. And they're quite menly men those two footballers. You could almost say, very menly men. What are you cool? Like, not buffheads, but a meathead.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Meatheads. They're a bit meatheady. Lovely guys are a bit like that. Yeah, apparently they give great advice. We should give way more advice on the show. So let's open it up. Men's advice segment. Oh, 800 of the Edge.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Are you a man? Yeah. Or do you identify as a man? And you want a bit of lad's advice. And we are going to let Steph give you some man's advice. Yeah. I think you for letting me do that. Yeah, we'll let you.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Thank you. You know, Taylor Swift loves it. So clearly women love men's advice. Do you think you're equipped to? give men's advice and what men want to hear? I mean, I'm not sure because I would actually love to give genuine advice if
Starting point is 00:21:11 people have any struggles or questions and stuff, but I'm going to channel my inner, what, like toxic male. Is that what you want? Yeah. I don't say toxic, but advice for men, pretty much, is all it is. Okay, well, can you give me an example? What do you boys need help with?
Starting point is 00:21:28 So, look, I've got a problem. I'm 800 there. It's ring, ring, ring, ring. Hey, Steph, I want some men's advice. I'm a man and I'm struggling with a bit of a bit of a jock chaff. But a jock, a bit of jock itch. Okay, joc itch. Okay, well, first of all, congratulations, because it means that you've been sweating
Starting point is 00:21:49 and probably been like working out heaps and like moving your legs around and things and squatting and deadlifts and whatever else. So good on you. What you need to do to fix the jock itch is admit nothing. don't tell anyone you never admit weakness and if someone asks why you're walking funny just say you just lifted too much weight at the gym or something so don't admit it
Starting point is 00:22:13 but if anyone does catch you out and say oh you are itching your jock a little bit there Sean I'm just say that your penis is too big so it's just causing some chafeage okay it's impeccable men's advice I was going to say we're some like maybe some baby powder or something down there interesting though oh yeah yeah you could
Starting point is 00:22:32 Yeah. Okay, you threw me off there but, Steph. My advice is, I need some advice on, Ring me, Rangh, Oh, Hounder the Edge. Hey, Steph, I'm feeling a little sad and stressed at the moment. I don't know who to talk to. What should I do? Oh, I feel like this is too serious.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Reach out to someone. No, give him some proper man's advice. Reach out to a friend, take care of yourself. Your mental health is really important. But, okay, if I'm doing your man advising, I would say, I'd say, bring it in, mate. I'm going to give you a little nuzzle with them.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Just pretend your head's in my armpit right now. And I'm just going, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, like on top of your head. It's great advice. You just physically kind of harass him. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Probably heard Taylor Swift. Her big podcast came out today, an hour and 45 minutes of Taylor Swift fandom,
Starting point is 00:23:27 talking to her boyfriend, Travis Kelsey and his brother, Jason Kelsey. She talks about how she is actually a long-term fan of the show. We've already been over this. You're a big fan of the show. You're a 92%er. What are your favorite segments that you hear Travis and I go into on a routinely basis? I love no dumb questions. I really like it when you give people advice.
Starting point is 00:23:47 It's kind of my personal favorite. I mean, I think that, like, you guys give such male-centric advice, which I think is just like just dudes who don't want drama. Yeah. Dudes who are trying to avoid the mess. Guys, Taylor Swift loves male-centric lads advice. Yeah. Launch to the new segment.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Lads chat with Stephanie Monks. Lads, lads, lads. All right, who will be got lads on 0,800 the edge that needs some advice from me? We've got some great lads here. Matt, all the way from Todong and Matt. You're on with Steph here for some lads advice, mate. What do you need? Hey, guys, how's it going?
Starting point is 00:24:30 Unfortunately, about a month ago, my girlfriend, well, now ex-girlfriend, is dating one of my close mates who is no longer my mates. She kind of left me for him. Oh, that's really good. It's a tough one. Hey, Matt, my man, Matt, this is the universe doing you a favour king. You don't lose women, Matt. They lose you. Okay, we don't chase.
Starting point is 00:24:57 We just replace. All right, that's what I need you to say to yourself, Matt, and every second you spend thinking about her as a second that you're not levelling up, Matt, hit the gym. Build that body like it's revenge. That's my advice to you. Thank you. Would you like, did you need any more?
Starting point is 00:25:17 Or is that... No, that's perfect. Wow. Chase don't replace Matt. Jeez, Steph, that's... That's a tattoo right there is insane. All right. And Phil... Phil from Christchurch is here. Phil, you want some lads advice from Steph. What's going on, mate?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yes, Steph, can you please help me? I'm having a bit, a few issues with the old Todger. I can't really keep it up. The what? The old Todger. Oh, the old Frankenbeams. Oh, the old... The old...
Starting point is 00:25:48 The old sausage. All right. What's your name? Phil. Phil. Phil. Phil. Now, come here, Phil.
Starting point is 00:25:59 it in, bring it in, Phil, mate. Now, Phil, this is a mindset thing, okay? Now, next time you get lucky enough, you walk into that bedroom mate, like it's the blam and UFC, all right, and you just dominate, with consent, and you pretend that you're Triple H, you pretend that you're the rock and there's nothing to stop at you, with consent. And you've got this, Phil, I believe in you and your penis.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Thank you so much. I'll let you know how I get on. Please don't. I don't think that will be necessary. Thank you, Phil. That's good. That Triple H one's good because you can just like spit all over them. Is that what he does? He spits water out of them.
Starting point is 00:26:40 You spit all over them. That's pretty gruesome, Steph. You know what, Steph, I know you've been on the hunt for a segment for a while on the show. I think you've found it. Let's chat. Hey, women listening on 3343, 3.4. Did you like that? Let us know.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Quick poll. Quick poll. We could be bringing it back. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. I want to get a little volneys right now. You guys know about my stand-up comedy journey, and I started that a couple years ago.
Starting point is 00:27:13 It was something that I was always really afraid of. It was my biggest fear. And then I turned that into a love. And I love doing stand-up, and I was doing it at one point, kind of every week I was doing a stand-up comedy show, and it built up to me getting the pleasure of being able to do a show in the comedy festival. I did an hour show. And then since then, I haven't done anything.
Starting point is 00:27:31 I feel like I've reached this point. I kind of climbed this mountain that I wanted to climb. And then I was so fearful about getting it. Because then it was like, I had to throw everything out. That's the thing with stand-up comedy. You know you've done a little bit of it, Harrison. You know, Steph I hear you've got a lot of material in the bag there that you haven't quite made to a stage, but you intend to.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Too much. Too much material. It's just hard to narrow down. Once you do the hour, you have to write it all again. And I've had this feeling where I was like, oh, have I written the best stuff? And I have to write from scratch. And I was putting it off. I didn't like what I was writing.
Starting point is 00:28:01 I didn't like it. And then last night, for the first time in five months, I got back on stage. I went to a big comedy club here in Auckland, and I had 10 minute spots, and it was all brand new material. So I was a mix of nervous and excitement. I talked to you guys about it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I tried some of the jokes on you two in the room. You gave me a bit of feedback. We liked them. Hey, Steph. We enjoyed the jokes. Yep. Why'd you've always got that high? Oh, hold on.
Starting point is 00:28:27 I think you're really good. If you didn't, if you didn't like the jokes, you should have told me been in there. Because you might be the reason. I'm real proud of you, man. It was a good one. It was a good choice yesterday. We really like them.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Is there something wrong with your microphones? No. So, I must have been. Okay, there's not really like punchline to the story other than that I went up on stage and absolutely ate it. I think I did the worst stand-up comedy show. No, in a bad way. You ate, boy, get it.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I ate shiz. Oh, yeah. It was. Where were you in the show? Did you open the show? Did you close the show? Because it always depends on where you are in the lineup of people. I was late.
Starting point is 00:29:08 You were late. You were gay. No, I was later in the show. Oh, okay. So people expected big things. Obviously, it didn't help that I was following Reese Matthewson and Paul Douglas, who were like two of the greatest comics in New Zealand. Quite established.
Starting point is 00:29:19 But I was feeling good about it. After telling you guys my jokes, it's like, I'm excited. Brand new jokes. Let's get up there. Sean, you've done an hour. Let's do this. I get up on stage. And I kid you not, worst show I've ever done in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:29:30 I think at one point I delivered a joke and it was I think I heard a cough I had someone pity laughing and then the worst part was I'm gonna save this set stuff I'm not doing my new stuff I went back to one joke that I know works that I had in my hour probably the best joke I've ever ridden delivered it
Starting point is 00:29:48 one lady gave me a sympathy I got off the stage three minutes left on the clock I was like no I can't do this and just hung the mic up and two years into doing comedy I just hung the mic up and I left the stage and I was red in the face
Starting point is 00:30:01 and I was like, this sucks. I just bombed so hard. Sean, I was just kidding before. What you told us yesterday was really funny. And I think everyone, it's just everyone's worst nightmare to public speak. Like it's a really daunting thing, let alone trying to make them laugh.
Starting point is 00:30:19 It's a really, really scary thing that you're doing. And I think you need to cut yourself some slack. I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you thought it went in your head. Oh, it was. No, it absolutely was. It definitely was. I appreciate that, though. You have to go through.
Starting point is 00:30:31 the bad times to have the good times, you know? So just think next time it's going to go, anything is going to go better than how last night went. Put it that way. Is that reassuring? I don't know. I'm just trying to, I guess, be like, hey, it's funny that I really failed. But I guess maybe get the message across to anyone listening
Starting point is 00:30:48 that if anything bad happens to you today or if you embarrass yourself, just think, hey, at least I didn't get up on stage in front of 50 people, try to make them laugh when you're a professional radio host and just absolutely cake it. And someone said to me afterwards, a lady pulled me aside and said, like, it's really brave of you to do that. This is a lady who'd come to the show.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Yeah. She's really brave. And I'm like, that's nice of you to say that. That's not what I, that's not the feedback I want from you. Yeah. I think at the end of the day, Sean, you could have done better. Wait, better. I hardly know her.
Starting point is 00:31:21 There it is. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Sean's five-star fact. I do this every single day on the show. I bring a fact to the team, our team of judges, Harrison, Steph, Nurse Sam, they rated out of five. I've been unsuccessful in quite a long time. So you guys have given me an ultimatum.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I've got seven days, sorry, eight days now until the end of next week. To get a five-star fact, if I don't, then the segment will be put to bed. But on the bright side, I get to get you involved. The Adjava's Fact Tour. You got to give them that a fact. Next Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, we're in Dunedin, Invercargo in Queensland, trying to get as many facts. as we can from you to try and save the segment and get a five-star fact. Also, 0-800-the-edge.
Starting point is 00:32:06 We're trying to get facts throughout the show. $1,000 up for grabs as an incentive. Yeah, and that goes for the people that share your fact with us while we're on the road as well. $1,000 could be all yours. You just need to come with a good fact. And let's be honest, all of Sean's fact have been kind of average. So it won't be that hard to impress us, eh, Harrison? Yeah, I reckon, sorry, Sean, they have been a little bit average, buddy.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I mean, it's over 150 facts you've done. But we'll agree to disagree. Champaroo. But I think that the text that come through from the list is, a lot of people text for the segment, and they're always very good facts. And even you look at them and go, oh, I wish I said that.
Starting point is 00:32:40 So I reckon we're going to find a five-star fact out there. And we could find it right now before we even hit the road, before the tour even begins with you, Sarah on 0800 the edge. Welcome to the show. Hello? Hello.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Sarah, I believe in you. As my champion today, I want you to get this $1,000 and I want you to, more importantly, selfishly save the five-star facts segment. So take it away. What is your fact today, Sarah? Well, I think this fact is kind of crazy,
Starting point is 00:33:12 and I've definitely told a few people since I found it out. But it's just the fact that high-fiving was not a thing people were doing until the late 70s. Oh, that's pretty cool. Yeah, so like our parents and stuff just were not high-fiving as kids, to celebrate stuff. Whoa, my grandparents never high-fived.
Starting point is 00:33:35 That is a great fact. Oh, gosh. It's a great fact. Wow. Okay, I'm doing a quick little fat check here. The high-five, it was credited to two Dodgers players, baseball players in America, who have said to invented it on the 1st of October, 1977.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Wow. This occurred when one of them hit a home run, and he raised his hand at the other one, and they slapped it in celebration. What? Yeah. That's a really, that's a really, really good event. I get nervous from that that that's good.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Same. I was so I looked further into it and found out that I was like, so what were they doing then? And it was like, oh yeah, sometimes doing a low five or some finger guns. What? Finger guns. Oh, wow. Oh, we love this.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Oh, gosh. This has blown my mind. So, like, back in the 60s, before the high five was invented and the Beatles were the one direction of the day instead of high-fiving fans and stuff they'd just do the finger guns at everybody. That's just honestly blown my mind, Sarah.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I know, it's pretty wild. Okay, well. This is tough. I'm producing nurse Sam. Do you want to give Sarah some feedback here? Give her a score? I love it. I absolutely love it. I give it a 4.5.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Oh, come on, guys. What's stopping it from being a 5? surely. Been a five, I don't know. It doesn't change the way I'm going to live. I don't know. It sounds like a broken record, do they? Every day, Sarah, she goes,
Starting point is 00:35:08 it doesn't change the trajectory of my life. Judge Steph, can you please go next? I'm still thinking. Yeah, so, Sarah, this is quite obviously one of the greatest facts we've heard in a long, long time. I mean, way better than whatever Sean provides on a daily basis. And I think this is just proof that we need help from the people, Sean, you need the help to save the segment because you suck by yourself.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I think this is proof. But to the judging, the only thing that I feel like this lacks is that connective New Zealand relatability factor that I'm personally looking for in a fact. Come on. It doesn't need to be New Zealand related. But I feel like... At a stretch. I feel like when we have a five-side fact, we'll just know and we'll feel it in our bones.
Starting point is 00:35:58 and it'll be just a part of culture. You know what I mean? And I just don't think that's quite it, but it's so close, it's a 4.8 from me. Wow. Great judging, Steph. Sarah, I'm sorry about these two judges. That deserves a big fat five.
Starting point is 00:36:13 That's insane. Wow. That's a five. That's incredible. Okay, Sarah, here's what that means. Has it saved a segment? No, because you need a five from all of them. But it does mean that's currently the highest rated fact we've got in this next week.
Starting point is 00:36:27 So if no one beats that rating, you will win the $1,000. Wow. All right. Well, here's looking forward to that. Hopefully people's facts are like Sean's facts. Well, hopefully we get a five and it saves the segments here. It's what I'm hoping you say. It's a bit selfish of you to warn us, but it's okay.
Starting point is 00:36:44 No, I think your facts are great. I've shared many of them. Oh, thank you. Oh, there we go. Thank you, sir. You can take... Nokia's on the phone. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:36:54 The Edge. Taylor Swift. She did her podcast with her partner, Travis Kelsey, brother Jason Kelsey, an hour and 45 minutes of Taylor Swift goodness. Do you know what the views are up to at the moment, Harrison? You were saying it was about a million in an hour. Let me count what it is, Sean. The views right now are at...
Starting point is 00:37:16 It's one of those ads that just popped up, actually, Manscapes. Okay, well, while you're looking at it, Steph. Seven million views. Wait, how budget that the Edge can't afford YouTube bloody premium? I don't even give you started, Steph. It's bloody annoying. Give all our money to the listeners for prizes. I know.
Starting point is 00:37:35 But I watched this this morning, this lovely podcast, and there's a segment in the podcast where she was talking about re-recording her old albums like she did and no one having her back. And then she said these people do have her back in this clip. Oh, no, I've immediately recorded over it. Sorry, Harrison, I've lost your clip. I've lost your clip.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Do you want me to reiterate it? I can act it out. One second, I reckon I can find it. Here we go, I've got it, I've got it back. This is not going to go well for her. Somebody knew though. And it was like I still was able to like reach out to friends of mine like like, like Phoebe Bridgers, Keith Urban, Merrin Morris, Chris Stapleton. Did you hear one of those names in there?
Starting point is 00:38:14 Chris Tableton? Keith Urban. And my partner looked at me and said, oh, you know Keith Urban. I was like, yeah, I guess I do know Keith Urban. and Keith Urban last year invited me, when I showed these vibe dancers online, invited me and my friend Nepiur to fly over to Sydney, flew us over,
Starting point is 00:38:32 we hung out with him for the day and for the night, and we opened the show by dancing for him. Lovely guy, had some beers afterwards, and he said to me afterwards, he was like, I was like, oh, is you, is Nicole around? He's like, no, but the reason I started watching you is because my wife actually loves your videos. Nicole Kibman?
Starting point is 00:38:49 Nicole Kibman. Watches you on Instagram. Yes, and that was crazy, but, What I'm thinking is, oh my gosh, I'm one, I'm literally one degree away from knowing Taylor Swift. I pretty much know Taylor Swift. Whoa, what do you reckon about it, Steph? It's a pretty crazy claim. Okay, we can roll with that.
Starting point is 00:39:11 That's a lot of laughing, Steph. Yeah, no, I mean, you know Keith Urban. Who knows Taylor Swift, so we pretty much know, I know Taylor Swift now. Pretty much. Well, in that, okay, well, how about this? How about this, then? How about this? I went to a school by the name of Takapuna Grammar School, right?
Starting point is 00:39:28 Right? Yeah, don't say you know Lord, because you don't. And Lord also went to Takapuna Grammar School, and so she knows Taylor, so actually I know Taylor? Oh. Yep, yep, okay, here's my one. I'm closer. Let me one up you.
Starting point is 00:39:45 How are you closer? I literally went to school with her. When she came here for her reputation tour, I met her face to face and we chatted for two minutes and then I watched the show with her mum and dad in a corporate box Oh, Sean wins
Starting point is 00:39:59 I've got a photo with her And I used it as Tinder bait for about five years To try and get girls into my DMs Because I had a photo with Taylor Swift Damn But that's... But that's just... There's no degrees though
Starting point is 00:40:11 You just hang out on Taylor Swift You're right In the instance of our game Degrees of Stan Walker Which we usually play We do want more of a story But I reckon we open this up right now 0.800 the edge. Is this a crazy thing to do?
Starting point is 00:40:23 Taylor Swift! That's great. Okay, I've put that together in minutes. No laughing. So it's like really, really loose tie-ins to Taylor Swift. So, for example, it could be like Camilla Cabo was in Fifth Harmony, right? And she performed on the Reputation Stadium Tour with Taylor Swift. And could it be like the person that served her dinner that night or something like that?
Starting point is 00:40:51 Yeah, it could be something like this great ideas, Dev, or you went and saw Taylor Swift Live and then the next day you were at a restaurant and you saw the security guard at the concert having dinner at the table next to you or something. That's it. There we go.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Yeah, both of those are great options. So, 0800 The Edge, we've got a prize up for grabs. We usually do this on Wednesday degrees of Stan Walker. We want Stan Walker stories. But today we're asking for Taylor Swift ones. We understand that's crazy, but we don't want you to have met Taylor Swift. As these guys have said,
Starting point is 00:41:18 we want you to, what's your story about Taylor Swift? Did you look her in the eyes at a concert? Did you stalk her security somewhere? Did you talk to someone who knows her? Surely someone has a friend out there who worked at the airport that at the time was like dealing with the private jets coming in and out or something like that? Like, do you know someone who knows someone who knows someone
Starting point is 00:41:37 that had something to do with Taylor Swift one time? Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Taylor Swift! Degrees of separation, it's a segment we usually do on this show on Wednesday's. We want stories about Stan Walker. You know, what's your degree to Stan Walker? But with the Taylor Swift podcast, the Taylor Swift fandom today,
Starting point is 00:42:00 and Harrison truly believing that he's one degree of separation away from Taylor Swift. Sorry, what was your story again? Well, I am. It was quite an iconic moment. Last year I got invited by Keith Urban to come hang out and perform with him. And what's his song right now, Sean? Keith Urban's song. And Pink?
Starting point is 00:42:16 Oh, is it? I thought Taylor Swift was in the song. Sorry. I'm also, I guess what me and Pink are so friends. And what I'm saying is, on the podcast, because someone who inspired me to re-record the albums again was Keith Durbin. And we are literally friends. So that's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:42:30 So me and Taylor are pretty tight? So what do you reckon, Steph? I mean, it's a good story. It's a great story. My God, yes. I love the story. But I just, I feel like there's looser tie-ins to Taylor Swift. I want to hear from people who one time met someone who worked somewhere,
Starting point is 00:42:48 whose cousin was her chef, or something. Like a real loose tie-in. going to win the segment right now, because that's the aim of the game. So let's go to the phones, and Ila, let's go to you first on 0800 the edge. Ila, what is your Taylor Swift story? How are you connected to her? My friend's teacher went to Taylor Swift's concert, and she touched Taylor's arm. Wow.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Your friend's teacher went to the concert and touched her arm, Ila. This is a fantastic start. Ila, how old are you? Nine. Oh, here's to Isla. Incredible story. And there's a lot of degrees of separation there, Isla, which is exactly what they're looking for,
Starting point is 00:43:35 so thank you for playing it on correctly. Yeah, that's exactly in the vein of it. Kara here from Auckland, what's your degree of separation to Taylor? Well, Taylor shot music video in Bessel's Beach in 2015, and I went to see my bestie, and she said she was working in Ward. or art department and had actually made a headpiece, but they didn't use it in the music video.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Oh, that's good! Wow. It's better than they didn't use it for the story. That's the fine. It's the icing of the cake that last bit. I said that might cancel me from the running, but the other thing is that I'm a primary school teacher and I do music and choral singing, and I wasn't allowed to tell anyone that my bestie was going to be in the same place as Taylor Swift,
Starting point is 00:44:22 which would have earned me the coolest credits ever as a teacher. So it was heartbreaking. Yeah, because I guess it's all top secret when they're doing music videos and things like that, eh? And your friend would have trusted you. Oh, that would have been so annoying. That is such a great story, Kara. Your friend made a headpiece
Starting point is 00:44:40 that was almost going to go on Taylor Swift's head bit of. It's just exactly what we're looking for. And Mark and Imphagel, take us into a journey, Mark. What's your degree of separation to Taylor Swift, mate? So, yeah, last year, I took my stepson to Perth to the WW Elimination Chamber. And we met Seth Rollins, had a meet and greet with Seth Rollins, who is married to Becky Lynch, who was in Happy Gilmore with Travis Kelsey. Good boyfriend. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:45:11 That is good. That is on degrees. You met a wrestler who's married to another wrestler who was in Happy Gilmore with Travis Kelsey. Correct. You basically know Taylor. Pretty much. That's good. Put him on hold, deliberate.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Quick deliberation. What are you leaning towards? Can I quickly say, in the vein of what the degrees segment is, all of these cores deserve to win. They do. It's amazing. I do. They deserve to win.
Starting point is 00:45:37 I'll be honest, guys. Ila, very cute. Love to story. Not enough degrees for me personally. She did it a few more degrees. Well, that's interesting. Because Harrison always wants to give the prize to the cute kids. I know, but I'm standing my ground today.
Starting point is 00:45:49 I'm tending to agree, and I also think because Mark did initially buy a meet and greet with a celebrity, it kind of does lose the spontaneity factor for me. So for that reason, I'm voting for Kara. Yeah, I'm voting Kara. Congratulations. A life-changing prize coming your way, mate. What will that be? I will find something for you. It's a great yarn.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Thank you, Kara. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and. Harrison. The Edge. So guys, I'm in the capital. An early flight for me. I had to wake up at 5 a.m. and I caught an Uber at about quarter to six to get to the airport to catch my flight
Starting point is 00:46:29 this morning from Auckland. And I booked an Uber and it arrived a little bit earlier than quarter to six. It was kind of parked outside my house at about 20 to 6. So a couple minutes early and I saw him outside and I was like, oh, brilliant. I'll just head out now because I was ready and I was just kind of sitting there. And I think he was. wasn't expecting me to arrive to open the door earlier. Like I hadn't received a message or anything that I'm waiting for you kind of thing. And the reason I think he wasn't expecting me to
Starting point is 00:47:00 be there early was because as soon as I opened the door and said, morning, and sat down, he said, he said, morning, like kind of surprised a little bit. But then that soon it occurred to me, there was a certain smell that was lingering and he absolutely had just farted. Like there's no denying it. There's no escaping it. I'm in a locked car, windows up because it's freezing.
Starting point is 00:47:35 And I can smell it. And there's no, like this is a complete stranger. It's not like a mate. And I can be like, oh, classic, did you just like let rip? Like, it's a, like, what are you supposed to do? He was probably sitting there early being like, oh, okay, It's probably, it's safe to let one go. I've got time for a quick fart before I pick up this passenger.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Exactly. Exactly. I put five minutes for it to kind of waft away in time. But I was right there and it must have been seconds afterwards because it was so bad. What would you do? What would you? I just sat there and did nothing, but I was like holding my breath to try not to gag. What would you guys do? I definitely, definitely put the window down. That's just a given. And then it's obvious. It's so obvious. Yeah, well, too bad.
Starting point is 00:48:20 That's your, because I'd want to say, ooh, you farted, but I wouldn't. So I just put the window down there. And he'll be, it's not going to be like, oh, it's freezing, put it up. He's like, yeah, I know. I get it, I farted. That's exactly how he was going to react. What I'd do is I'd two hand the door as I'm going to open it
Starting point is 00:48:34 and just be waving it in and out like a fan? Like outside, in and out, waving the door. Well, classy, they just open the door, get and go, you know, just make a scene of it. That's punishment. He farted. Exactly. Is this just like a lesson to us? Maybe because you're right, he is the one that did the damage. Maybe we are totally in the right to be like, oi, did you just fart? Like are we, should we call them out? Because why should we be the ones they're suffering and embarrassed, you know, and we're innocent in the situation? I'd love to quickly sympathise with your Uber driver, because I actually did this this morning to some poor people in my building and my elevator. I was coming to work. And I just, I bombed my elevator.
Starting point is 00:49:16 and it stopped. I thought I was safe because I was on the 10th floor and my car's in the basement and I got to like one and I was like no one else was getting in. Let it rip.
Starting point is 00:49:25 It stopped on one. Someone else got in for two floors and just had to get into a minimal ventilation elevator that I had just gassed out. See that's good then. I think actually what I've found now I've even hearing your story Sean
Starting point is 00:49:39 as I think the best thing to do is walking in the situations, e.g. the elevator, walk in and just go musely? Oh That's where you lean into it Make them feel good about it maybe
Starting point is 00:49:50 I think that's the solution Okay Okay Well it's something to think about How's your Uber ratings stuff Is it dropped at all? No God no I'm innocent
Starting point is 00:49:57 I don't know about that Yeah sure I've heard that before Your Avos head harder With Sean Steph and Harrison The Edge Sean's five-star fact
Starting point is 00:50:07 Yeah Sean That's a wee little segment You have wedged into every show that we do For the last 150 shows maybe that we've done?
Starting point is 00:50:16 Yeah, I think it's been the backbone of the show. It's been a staple since day one. Yeah, it's definitely been around. It's definitely been here. 150 facts in, you haven't got one five-star fact. Gotten very close, though. Very close. So Steph and I are actually
Starting point is 00:50:32 threatening you that we are going to take away the segment. Just as it's not quite living up to what we thought was going to happen. So next week, we're going to go around the South Island to the people to try and find a five-star fact and give them a thousand bucks if they do and if they do give us a five-star fact your segment is saved that's exactly it so we need you to call oh 800 the edge we're going to take callers
Starting point is 00:50:54 all this week and then of course next wednesday thursday friday we're going on the fact tour sorry sorry spit facts on that food it's interesting that you guys have lent into the hawk tour girl only a year after her popularity oh i think it's still uh you know what my dad and my uncle still laugh about that one. Okay. All right. If a listener does get a fact, then that counts as a five-star fact for me as well.
Starting point is 00:51:19 We'll be saved. We've got Lucy on the show today. Lucy from Oamaru. Are you confident in your fact today, Lucy? Yeah, I am. It's something you've never heard. Well, Lucy, we're excited. That is a part of the judging criteria.
Starting point is 00:51:33 We want to hear a fact we've never heard. It needs to be original. It needs to be shareable, which means it's so mind-blowing. We can't wait to tell everybody that we know. and it also needs to be well-performed. They are the three main criteria. And Sean sucks at this, Lucy,
Starting point is 00:51:50 so I'm sure whatever you're about to say is going to be 100 times better than what he's done. I did a great fact today. Did you hear it, Lucy? It was about whale farts. Yeah, no, I didn't. Probably for the better. Yeah, you're right, Lucy.
Starting point is 00:52:02 It was one of his worst ones. Who is team are you on? It was terrible. Okay, Lucy. Hit us with your five-star fact, my friend. What are we going for? So if you are allergic to shellfish, you're also allergic to cicadas. And you know how people get like chocolate-covered cicadas and bugs and stuff?
Starting point is 00:52:21 They can't eat them because they're allergic to shellfish. What? You know that common thing you get at a dairy, the old chocolate-covered crickets, cicadas? You actually can't eat those if you're allergic to shellfish. How did you They come from the same They come from the same Like body skeleton
Starting point is 00:52:42 Oh Yeah because they are they do Now that you kind of Put them together like a shell Like a prawn or something I guess would be quite close to a cicator But I want to know how someone found that out Did they eat the cicator
Starting point is 00:52:56 And then like get the same allergic reaction Yeah and I don't want to be dumb But Lucy can you please just educate me What is shellfish I don't know prawns and crayfish and stuff like that. Oh, like with shells on them? With shells.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Is that what they're shellfish? Shellfish are. Is that why they're shellfish? Yeah. Crustations. Things from the bottom of the ocean that have shells on them. I learned, I only learned yesterday, Lucy, that hippos can lactate milk. I learned so much on the show.
Starting point is 00:53:23 That is insane. Whoa. Okay, first takeaway, maybe we're going too far with the facts with Harrison. He seems amazed by the simplest of things, so maybe you dial it back a little bit. Pull it back. It's all right Lucy, this is a great fact Now of course we are your judges
Starting point is 00:53:38 Harris and myself Steph But also producer nurse Sam Who we've now crowned The Simon Cowell of the judging panel Because she's quite harsh Sam what do you think I really like this one guys It's applicable to life
Starting point is 00:53:54 There's the science behind it You know the kidding Don't laugh at me Stephanie It's applicable to life It's a plicable to life It is And you know what Lucy, this is exactly what Sam's looking for in effect, something that she can use in her life.
Starting point is 00:54:07 She always talks about how the facts aren't going to help her in life, and this one actually will. Yes, I'll be a high mark. Exactly. I'm going to be able to warn people off. Like, if you're allergic to shellfish, oh my gosh, don't eat that cicada. Get it out of your mouth. Get it out.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Put it out. Exactly. So common. Yeah, no. I give it a 4.5. Wow. Oh, Lucy, I'd be happy with that. That's a great score from Sam there, Lucy.
Starting point is 00:54:36 But for me, it's going to be a two because I was more fascinated by the fact that shellfish called shellfish because of the shells. So good try, Lucy. Okay. Oh, that's rough. Oh, is that rough? It's not.
Starting point is 00:54:48 It's all right. One of the judges is a dumb dump. Oh, well, that's rough. Okay, Steph. Lucy, I think that fact was really great. I'm with Sam. It's going to be high fours for me. I'm 4.7.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Love that. Your Avos Head Harder With Sean, Steph and Harrison The Edge Hey, if you haven't heard Taylor Swift did a podcast I don't think anyone's heard about it We haven't talked about it, that's for sure
Starting point is 00:55:11 She did an hour and 45 minute podcast With their partner, Travis Kelsey on his podcast And my favorite part of the whole thing Is the first minute When Jason Kelsey's introducing Taylor Swift And he sounds like he's gonna pass it Worth! He has 14 Grammy Awards
Starting point is 00:55:27 It is the only artist in the history To an album of the year Four times It's annoying me, so I'm going to pull it down. Sorry, that was quite loud. They gave me a fright. He's still going. He goes through 45 seconds, and it seems like he's genuinely going to pass out.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Of all time. I'm still going, hold on for him. This keeps going. So today in the top three, I have the top three people who need to dial it back a little bit. It's that time of the day. The time to get your news. Brought to you by... The spoon you use to stir your tea, but then you leave it on the side of your sink,
Starting point is 00:56:00 because you might use it again, but you never do. And presented by... When you're at work and you get a drink from the Vena Machine and then your mate goes, can I have somebody go, yeah, sure, and they lips to the can, so it ruined the whole drink for you. It's the edge top three. Yeah, through the shirt, bro.
Starting point is 00:56:14 You've got to stop asking me for a sip of my drink, please, Sean. Through the shirt. Yeah, that was an old trick we used to do at school. No lips gee? You go through the shirt. You drink it through your shirt? Never heard of them alive. You put the drink up to your t-shirt,
Starting point is 00:56:26 and then you drink it through the shirt, and then it's like you don't see your cooties with your mate. Pour it. Pour it in your shirt. your mouth, you freak. I don't have the coordination. Anyway, the top three people who need to tone it down a bit after Jason Kelsey did the most hectic Taylor Swift podcast intro that you ever heard in your life.
Starting point is 00:56:40 One. My Les Mills gym class instructor, specifically the one who leads my strength class. She is great, let me say. If you want someone to just really pressure you while you're working out, she's so into it. She's so into it that actually she starts singing to the songs that are playing in the background. And for me, dial it back a sec. Yeah, it's a bit much.
Starting point is 00:57:01 It's a bit much. Two. Youth pastors. I'm here for you, bro. You can come to me whenever bro. You want to hang out. Dial it back a bit. Maybe hang out with a few people your own age.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Yeah. I think the youth pastors, I think pastors in general can just dial it back. It was inviting people to come hang out after hours. Just a little bit. Little bit. Quite a lot. Quite a lot. Three.
Starting point is 00:57:23 People who sell Hello Fresh boxes. Oh, God. They are like, if they've been in the news for calling. people harassing them, trying to get it. Don't make it so hard to cancel the Hello Fresh, right? Let's dial it back a little bit. If someone doesn't want to be part of Hello Fresh, that's okay. I genuinely haven't had Hallow Fresh in four years and I still get emails.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Still get them this morning. Really? I got my last call from them a couple of months ago, and I think I scared them so much that they stopped calling. So maybe if people have Hello Fresh people bombarding them, just pass the phone over to me. I will make sure they never call you again. I might threaten them, but they'll never call back. Look, sometimes that's what it takes in this occasion.
Starting point is 00:58:01 It's The Edge Top Three. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Steph, uh, live from Wellington today. Uh, how's it going, Steph? You enjoying the Windy City? Oh, it's beautiful. Not windy today, guys.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Not windy today. I refuse to believe it. I've never been to Wellington and not been like, oh, it looks like a beautiful day and then go outside and freeze my ass off because of how windy it is. Yeah, but even if it's no windy, it's still freezing. It's kind of, it's a real sick sad city to be. honest. You live there. You love it. Five years I lived, I loved it, but I was bloody sick and sad. Oh, no, it is a beautiful city. The sun is out, but the nipples are hard. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Because I'm cold. Yeah. Um, not because I'm horny. Um, now, the story that I would love to share with everybody is, so to get here this morning, I caught an early flight, which meant I to leave really early, which meant last night I had to pack my bag, so I was all sorted. And last night, the reason I'm here this morning I had to host this kind of industry event kind of thing. And it comes with a script when you're an emcee. I mean, people listening must have done it at weddings and their own workplaces. There's a lot to read when you're doing like a presentation thing. And so it was me and one other person. And so I went through my lines last night. I guess Harrison, you're an actor. You do auditions. You do with scripts all the time.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Do you highlight like all of your parts? Yeah, I get emailed all my. script so I highlight them on my phone. You get this little thing and you edit it. But yeah, you have to. Absolutely highlight. Don't not do that. Yeah, yeah. So I spent so long last night highlighting every single line.
Starting point is 00:59:36 There were a lot of like introducing people in my part of the script. So I was practicing all the names. I really didn't want to mucking anything up. And I probably rehearsed for about an hour last night with the script. Now, I thought I put it in my bag. the one thing that is the most important thing that had to come with me from Auckland to Wellington. I thought I put it in my bag.
Starting point is 01:00:01 And I was like, I'm going to get out on the plane and go over my lines and make sure I'm across everything, like the nerd that I am. And then I go on the plane and I look at my bag, empty. It's not there. I've got three musli bars, which is the other most important thing, food. And apart from that, nothing. And I'm like, what have I done? And so as soon as we land, I call my partner Jake.
Starting point is 01:00:21 And I'm like, where's the script? It's highlighted. It's the most important thing ever. I know no one in the CBD, so I can't go anywhere to print it out. The thing starts in 10 minutes. Oh my God. And then he's like, yeah, it's on the dining room table.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Oh, my God. And I was like, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. What did you do? I just flew home. Just left a job? I, yeah. I just went to the event, and, I mean, it turns out they're way more organized than I am, and they had heaps of copies.
Starting point is 01:00:51 so it was totally fine. But can you guys imagine my panic? I'm such a type A personality that if anything doesn't go to plan, I just have a meltdown. Yeah, it wasn't a good time for me today, guys. But at least the sun's out and the nipples are hard. Yes, that's insane.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Twice now, Stan. Twice you said that. Because it's cold. I know, but we know your nipples may be hard. We don't need it twice. Brisk. What's the AC in here? We can't see her, so it is nice to have a visual update.
Starting point is 01:01:20 I'm liking it. And that was for you, and that was for you, Sean. Thank you. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, that's all from us today.

So if you see me on the flight, if you're on the way to the airport right now, and I'm on your flight, then, poor, a foot rub would be love. I'll get the dogs out and I'll just do a big old stretch It's been a long day for all stiffy
Starting point is 01:01:56 So yeah, they'll be good actually Maybe a neck rub Boy you know, even maybe just because you've pointed it out multiple times on the show maybe a nipple rub Because they're quite stiff at the moment like you said Oy! That's what you've been saying Oye! Inappropriate
Starting point is 01:02:11 You have bought up the dexterity of your ariola multiple times Yeah No, no no no no it's not my ariola It's the pointy out bit That's not the ariola. Oh, you know what? It's the nipple.
Starting point is 01:02:22 The nipple. So the are ariola. Do you guys not know this? The ariola is the skin around the nipple. No, I do know that, but I don't know the name of the tips. I'm going to our producer Sam, who's a nurse. The nipple. Is it called the nipple, Sam?
Starting point is 01:02:35 What's the name of the pointy part? The antennae. It is my understanding that the tip of the ariola is just called the ariola tip. Oi. It wasn't wrong. It was not wrong. Wait, wait. Does that mean the ariola?
Starting point is 01:02:49 and the ariola tip form the nipple? Yeah. Right, okay. I think the nipple is like the whole thing combined. So what should the people on the plane rub? Probably not anything to do with the aerial. Oh yeah, okay, cool. Oh, Sam, speak for yourself.
