So you guys are going to run me past a list of mammals and I'm going to say if they are or not, if I get all of them right, we are giving a list of $50,000. So I guarantee we won't be giving. We can't guarantee it because I may know. I don't know.

Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Little reminder for everybody. Do your smear test. Do your smear test. So this morning, I wasn't expecting that I... I thought it was a smear test. No.

And why do you boys put schmuh in front of everything? I thought it was called a shmere test. Nah, it's just smear. And is that the bobs one or the downstairs? It's a downstairs one. It's the what happens? And so basically this morning, I actually was going to the, our kind of medical centre for my 15-month-old Rocco.

He needed his vaccinations. And so that's why we were there. And he did this thing. COVID. No, just this 15-month-old. vaccinations, yeah, no, no, COVID. Oh, Jacinda won't be happy. But wait, he didn't even cry.

Didn't even cry. And I'm like, are you a robot? And I, you know what it was? It was Nino. It was Nihor and Dussi the Digger. It was incredible. He just put that in front of his face and he was so distracted. Not even a peep.

And two in his leg, one in his arm. It was amazing. I was like that at that age, too. So I used to ask the nurse to put the needle through my tongue and do it. Like, I found no pain. Is that way you've got so many holes in your tongue? Yeah. And when you drink water, it all kind of leaks.

That is why? That's why. I always wondered. So there I was at the doctor clinic and he was still on his thing, but I forgot his plunket book. And you guys will find this out one day that when you have kids, you have to bring this book all the time to get stamped that he's been vaccinated. You get your little stickers.

You get the sign off from the doctor, etc., etc. But I forgot it. So hours later, I've dropped the baby off at daycare and I've swung back home to pick up the book. And I give it back to the medical centre to do all the staff. And she was like, oh, I just looked you up in the system as well. and you're actually a year late for your smear test. And I was like, oh no.

They can tell you that when your son is getting injections. It's a bit stalkery. That's real weird. I don't think so. I think it's just, it would just pop up on the computers because I have been getting letters about it. Like I am on the system being like Steph Monks needs to come in kind of thing. And it's in every couple of years thing.

And my last one was like 2021. And yeah, it was time. But I wasn't expecting it. And I was a little bit scared at first because, because, you know, you're there on the table, wide open. You know, sometimes before an exam like that, I want to prep. I want to do a bit of prep. Yeah.

A bit of prep work. There's more of the story, but Harrison asked earlier, I genuinely want to know what is that. What do they do? I do not know what a smear test is. A smear test is testing for the, I mean, we do have a nurse on the show. What's the virus called? HPVC, PVA, glue virus.

It's for the virus. But they go inside you? It goes inside you, and it's also testing for, like, cervical cancer. Okay, so what do they do? Someone goes in there and has a lot. So normally, they used to, like, you'd lie on the table, you'd go to your happy place in your brain, and then they'd, like, use a clamp, and they would put up a big, long swab,

and they'd swab you and poke and prod around, and that's how they'd get their sample. But, and that's what I was expecting when she goes, it's time for your smear, should we just do it now? And I was like, okay. But then it's now that it's a DIY little number It's a little QR code No, it's a DIY number

So you can like get your own swab They give you a really long swab And you just go to the toilet You do it yourself and then it was so easy So basically I wanted to tell all the Wahini listening right now If you've been putting it off as well Because I know it's never like the most comfortable thing in the world Do it

Do it, it was actually so easy Way easier than the test used to be And you've got to put your health first And I know you put your family first and I know you put everyone else first except for you, but just book it in. And it's free, so go do it. Yeah.

That's great to know. It's always good when something gets less painful like that. They did that with the STD tests. I wouldn't know. I said it was a guy that used to have to do a cotton bud thing. Oh, okay. It was quite sore. The schmeg test.

No, it's just, no. I think that's the male one. It's not getting better than that. We're wrapping shmard. You're avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Sean's five-star fact. Man, I think I've got it now.

I think after all, 100 attempts and you two threatening to kill this segment is what I've needed to give me the kick and the caboots. More than 100 attempts. Way more. You started this segment in January. We are now approaching all the middle of August.

More or less 100 facts. The aim of the game is to impress us so much, the judging panel, Harris and myself, Stefan, producer, Sam, that we each give you a five-star rating that the fact is that good. Yet to be done. Yeah. So, hmm.

So yep, tomorrow, sorry, by next week, if by the end of next week I don't have a five-star fact, the segment is... Yeah, fittingly, man, it's just a... It's kind of a shod. It's a hard slog? It's coming a bit of a hard shlog every day. Well, I thought, because this week's facts have been really good, and I'm getting listeners on board as well, so we've got chances for you to say your fact later in the show, $1,000 for you if you do get the highest rated fact before the end of next week. So you can text yours in, 3343.

We'll be calling someone back. But I thought, like, yesterday, a listener, you gave them a five-star fact, Karas. Oh, yeah, yeah, we have, listeners give the great facts. Yeah. That's why we've turned to listeners to say this segment. Yeah. Because they give great facts.

Oh, so it's me. Exactly. Yeah. Literally, we're going to the people because they're way better at this than you are, Sean. Next week, we're going to Dunedin, Invercargill and Queenstown on our Factor. The Air Javut. You got to give them that a fact. Tud.

Now, I think you're about to eat your words, though, because this five-star fact from me today is very good. Today's five-star fact is Cahuas have fingerprints that are so close to a human fingerprint that apparently there have been several break-ins in Australia by the same person who they looked for for years and years turns out it was a koala the whole time.

Coalas have claws. Yeah, they haven't got fingerprints, ma'am. Well, they do have finger... Is it a fact? Is it a fact? It's a true fact, guys. Producer-in- Nurse Sam is not. Notting. Have you fact-checked this one, Sam?

Yes, I have. Coalas definitely do have fingerprints. Really? I still believe it. Yeah, I don't buy this. I need a clause. How did they, how do the Australian, like, police, are they a bit, like, not so, you know? What do they steal, like a bag of tea? What are they, you know, the koalas?

No, my TV's gone. It's bloody koala this whole time. They break into someone's house, right? And then someone goes, someone's breaking into my house. It's a koala who's sneaking in there to get some food or something. They look at the fingerprints. They think it's a guy. They're hunting for this.

criminal all over Australia. It's just koalas, stealing things. Kind of cute. So cute. Do you think he has a little, like, mask on? Bela clava. Yeah. Yeah, probably.

I don't think it's oceans koala. Like, I don't think they're trying to do it. Could be a great little Pixar movie, though. Yeah, it would be. Can I just say, I'm going to come straight out of the bat, and I... This fact just doesn't excite me. Oh, come on. I'm not even trying to be, as to say, I hear of the men, go.

I didn't feel much from there. It's quite cute. It's fine. I'm going to come out and say two and a half. Oh, that's pretty far. Yeah, I didn't feel much from that, sorry, man. Yeah, it didn't give me the tickle. You know, when you feel it, it didn't give me,

it wasn't lightning in a bottle kind of moment for me. So I'm going to give it, it's okay. It was a good three, three point five. Wow. Yeah. I give it a three point five as well. It's pretty funny. It's pretty cute.

It's funny. It's cute and funny. Yeah. Hey, but you guys listening, text in your one, your five star fact of three, three. and if it really is five stars you could be winning a thousand bucks. Your avos head harder

with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The People's Mascot. The People's Mascot. Three options were suggested. The Edge Wedge, a giant wedge mascot. The Edge Hedge, a giant like tree hedge mascot and the Edge Hodge.

The Edge Hedge won. You voted for it. It's your mascot. It is currently in production. We are so excited. because one of our incredible listeners, his name is Kelly. And Kelly was listening like two weeks ago when we were talking about the mascot, the early days.

The early days. We were still like pitching ideas and stuff. And Kelly, you texted into the show, didn't you? And you were hearing us talking about this dream mascot of ours. And you're like, I can do it. I can sew. I make dresses for a living. And we were like, oh my God, Kelly, could you make us our dream mascot?

The hedge ended up winning. Kelly, how's the hedge going? Um, great actually. Oh, good. Yeah, going pretty good. Tell us about it. Tell us about it. Um, so he's got some shoes. He's got one eyeball at the moment.

It's looking pretty good. Is he going to have two or just the one? Uh, probably two, yeah. Cool. Okay, cool. Now, shoes wasn't on the brief, but you've made shoes. This is incredible. Yeah, no, he's looking pretty cute, I think. What?

What kind of shoe is it? Let's just go with white sneaker. Now, but the hedge, in theory, like the edge hedge one, but there've been a few kind of descriptions of what it might look like. We're going to see it. I think from talking to you off here, you sound like you're nearing completion of it, but just verbally could you describe how the hedge looks to us so we can get a picture of it? Okay, so it's kind of rectangle shape.

Very bushy looking, big giggly eyes, got a few little teeth in there and some shoes. Oh, God, Kelly. I mean, cute, cute. We're so excited, Kelly. Thank you so much for doing this. Have your friends been like, hey, Cal want to hang out tonight once the kids are asleep? And you're like, nah, I'm making a hedge mascot for a radio station. Have you had to explain what you're doing to people?

Yeah, I have actually had to explain to a couple. of people and they're like, what? I'm like, don't worry. I'll show you when I'm done. Wow. That's so cool. Thank you so much, Kelly. It's such a good sport about this. You're very welcome. Very, very excited to see this.

When is this premiered again, guys? Well, Kelly, when do you think it'll be ready? I think Monday. I think it's going to come to you guys Monday. Wow. That's crazy. So on Monday's show, the official live reveal of the Edge Hedge, the People's Mascot.

I am not going to sleep a wink. weekend. I'm so excited. Yeah, probably neither. So, yeah, true. For different reasons, you're making the hedge. I'm just like a child on Christmas. Sure, Kelly, we are so excited.

Would you mind coming in on Monday? It would be awesome to meet you. Yes, I agree. Great, great, great, great. Oh my God, exciting. Well, we'll see you here on Monday at the Edge HQ with the Edge Arvo's mascot. The Edge. Hedge.

Thank you, Kelly. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Arvo, Polo! Challenge. Challenge. So we do a poll every week. I love the fact that we've just, we've done this all year.

We started as a show together in January and never once have we made a proper intro for this. No. It's just that it reflects the budget that we're operating with it. Yeah. But we do the Arvo poll every week on Edge Arvo's Instagram and then it kind of decides who wins and loses each day. And then at the end of the week, we reflect on

all the polls and one of us gets to choose to challenge one of those polls that they lost. Could it be any clearer. Yeah. Unhappy. Whoever's unhappy with a certain poll. So we'll go through each of the polls right now with producer nurse Sam. Monday to Thursday, Sam. What will we doing? All right, Monday was who is the fastest typer?

Steph won that one and Sean lost. Yeah, okay. Yeah, all right. Check that is Monday. All right. Coed Tuesday was who was the cutest kid. Steph won that one and Harrison lost. No, untrue.

I won that. I don't think I won that. I don't think I lost that. Sean won that one. Sorry. Definitely won that one. Producer Nurse Sam. And who lost that one? Harrison. Did you lose that one? I don't think so.

I thought Steph lost that one. How did I get it so wrong? Who was the worst producer? Okay. Don't worry. Sam, I'm already making that email to the box. God, it's Friday, oh my gosh. Can you just clip this? Sam, actually, while you're at it. Can you clip this off?

Steph will want to send it for someone. I don't think this is live. It's not on air, is it? No, no, no, no. No one can hear this. Okay, cool. Moving along then, or Wednesday was Who is the Best Swimmer?

I've got Sean won that one and Harrison lost. Probably, yeah. And then yesterday was who picks their nose the most with Harrison winning and Sean losing. Cheers. I think I won the most polls this week, which is unprecedented. It's the first time ever.

Ever, this is a historic week for you. That I've won the most polls. Guys, I reckon this week we don't challenge it. I reckon we're good. Let's play chapel row. Not so fast. Not so fast. Not so fast. I'd like to challenge.

I'd like to challenge. I'm unhappy with a certain poll. And it's quite obvious what one I'm unhappy with. Harrison picking his nose. If you all know you do a lot of nose digging. I did also bring my toogs if you wanted to the swimming one. No. I thought I was going to challenge.

that today, but you may, you're probably going to say it instead. No, no. I would like to challenge Sean winning the cutest child photo. Oh yeah, that's bull crap. Thank you, Harrison. You're hung up on this.

You don't think I'm cute. Believe it. Out of the three of us, no offense. I'll go kid. Oh, my God. Like, no offense. No offense out of the three of us. We are a far more attractive

two and three year old than you were. But 100% she's under it. No, that's insane because we did a vote. The listeners voted on our actual photos. I couldn't believe it. By a landslide. I couldn't believe the listeners voted. Okay, well, let's sort it then.

Let's sort it. Send the picture. You pick your cutest picture of you as a kid. Nurse Sam. We're going to send them to you right now. Can you go and get a vote in the next couple of songs by as many people as you can in the office? Yep, okay.

Get every single one of our co-workers to vote on who is the cutest baby. Don't tell them which photo is who, and we'll finally figure this out next. Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Oyo. Avo. Polo!

Challenge, challenge. Every day we do a poll on our Edge Avvo's Instagram. And then Friday, we look at all the polls that we've done and we get to challenge one of the polls that we lost. Steph's challenged the poll today. What poll are you challenging? The poll that people voted you as the cutest baby. So this is the results of that earlier this week.

Third place. with 69 votes inappropriate for a children's thing. So this would be the least attractive child? Yes. Is, shockingly, me. Second place is old Minge Fringe Steph. No! Sean is the cutest baby in the edge of.

See you guys. Cious baby, I won it, hands down. For those of you who missed the photos on Instagram for the poll the other day, I've just put it up again on our story so people can go and have a look for Sean. And honestly, disbelief. I was shocked that he won that one.

Truly. Like, you'll see on it, Sue. I'll say, you'll see it. No. Okay, take yourself out of this Harrison. I know it's hard to do that, but out of mine and Steph's baby photos, which one did you actually think was cute? Oz's Dev.

Did you really? That's insane. Yeah, it wasn't great, man. It's okay. The list is voted. You said 60%. Yeah, but honestly. Okay, well, it's been challenged.

It's been challenged. Producer Nurse Sam during those songs was running around the office. It looked like you basically got to every one of our co-workers. How many people do you think you got through? I got through, like, 35 people. It's a lot of, fast, man. Okay, so you've showed them photos

and you've asked them to vote on who they thought was the cutest baby. Yes, who is the cutest baby. Oh, I think I'm gonna have to go with one. One, three. I think number one. Yeah, one, two.

Oh my God, two. So cute. You're two. It's a bit of a spread. Is that all of it? No, there's more. There's more. Yeah, number two. Three.

One. Oh, two. Three. I'll go three. Three? Number three. It seems very close. So the people didn't know who they were voting for, obviously.

You just named them one, two or three. Yeah, one, two or three. And they just said, yeah. So they didn't actually know who was who. Yeah, but there's a female and ginger and another guy. I think we can figure it out. You'd think so. Some people will stop, though, guys.

Okay, so. So in third place, we have got... The ugliest baby is... Sean Hill. What? Yes! You take my one multiple polls. Honestly...

You've had a great glow up though. Wow. Yeah. Sam, do we need to hear the rest of the results? I'm pretty happy with that. I'm pretty happy with that. Screw you guys. Oh, how the tables were turned.

Wow. Harrison, I'm rooting for you, man. I'm ready for you, sir. I'm ready for you, sir. I don't care of learns. That was awesome. Sean. Hey, at least you're not

I go anymore. Wow. It's crazy. Wait. Stop calling me an ugly child. I knew that was something good for that result on Instagram. I knew it. You were right.

We'd be to hack this week and it would have been them. Sorry, Sean, sorry, Sean. It is what it is. You okay? It is what it is. Yeah, I am okay because I'm happy with our listeners. And once again, that was hundreds and hundreds of listeners voting me the most attractive versus 30 of my peers.

It was the most attractive. It was the most attractive. She was the cutest kid and I won. And I was a hot kid. That creepy side again. Producer-neess, Sam, who came first? So the winner of the cutest kid in the Air Jarvo's 2015 is... 2015.

Oh, my God, 25. Sorry, I'm just going to win me into that email. Sam doesn't know date. Sorry, how is... Nurse Sam, could you grab that audio for us? That's okay. Okay, really not on it today. is they won by three points.

Steph Marks. Good game, Harrison. Good game, close game, close game. Sorry, Sean. Who gives a shame, Sean? Stuff you're a loser. Your Arvose hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

You might know her as someone who's had a few hits on this radio station and won the best pop artists awarded the AMAs last year, Cassie Henderson. If you're an Australian listener, you would know her. as the artist who killed it in her audition on the TV show The Voice recently. Cassie Henderson. Yes. Welcome back to New Zealand. Welcome back to The Edge.

Thanks for having these guys. Oh my God. You were everywhere on my feed the other day when the Voice Australia audition came out. You like, get her off. No, I was like, get her in. I was like messaging your manager. I was like, we've got to get her and got to talk to you about it. So, congratulations.

Thank you. Thanks so much. Yeah, it's been wild. It's been crazy. What's this week been like for you? I mean, your DMs must be like, I mean, your followers must have gone up a fair bit, the Australian audience.

Yeah, well, that's the thing. Being from New Zealand, I feel like I always forget how big Australia is. It's a lot bigger, eh? Sydney's whole population is bigger than New Zealand's whole population. So it's just mad, really, like numbers I can't really comprehend. But I've been sitting at home with my parents in my little dungeon bedroom. So not much has changed for me, but it feels like it has on my phone every day,

which is pretty wild. If you didn't see, all four of the Voice Australia judges turned their chairs for Cassie, Henderson's audition to Chapel Rhine. You got a smack of a big button, huh? Yeah. I've always wanted to hit one of those buttons. Yeah. I'm always, I feel like it would feel so good. Yeah, it's a big power move, right?

Oh, question. You're probably too caught up when you're singing, but does it make the dush sound? Yeah. You can hear that sound? Yeah, it does. It makes the dush sound. Behind the scenes. It's crazy.

Oh my God, a spice girl turned around for you. That is... Spice girl turned for me. That's a crazy headline. So this comes exactly 11 years after. 14-year-old Cassie Henderson is on the X-Fact New Zealand. Oh, my God. Playing Taylor Swift, you would have been so nervous at that point.

How funny was it going backstage to another singing show going, this is where it all began for me? Yeah. You've now got the reps. You've played main stage at New Zealand festivals. You've won awards. Were you still as nervous backstage? I mean, I think what was interesting about this one

was when I was doing it back then, I prepped for that audition when I was 14 so much and nothing changed when it came down to this one. Like, I was preparing the song for months, refining like 20 different versions of it until I got to my like perfect thing that I wanted to do. But it meant that when I got there, I was at all I've got to do is just do what I've been doing

for the past however many months and it's going to be okay. Yeah, 14-year-old cast was kind of just like, like unstoppable, had no fear. Kids are, right? So confident. I was more stressed about how people were going to see me this time than I was last time, I think.

How do you even, like, do you apply to be on The Voice Australia? How did that whole thing work? Did you see it online? You're like, oh, give that a go? Yeah, yeah. You just audition and, like, I've been so lucky with what's happened here. And that's like, down to you guys playing my song and down to people that have come to the shows. But I just wanted to be challenged.

Like, I've always wanted to reach as many people as I've always wanted to reach as many people as I possibly can. We're a small tight-knit community here in New Zealand and that's epic and my success from last year has been so insane to me that that happened but you know like this summer was probably the most successful I've been here

but I had like a week where I was living off snacks that I got from my green room because I was funding everything myself and you know it's not it's not the big dream that I think everybody thinks it is so yeah I just wanted to it's time for worldwide domination baby

Yeah, I wanted to level up. How yeah. Yeah, I'm proud. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the past three years and the support of everybody from home. So, that's very cool. Your Ravos, Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. Yes, no. If you're new to this, it's a part of the show where Harrison will run through some social cues for certain scenarios. Steph and I will help them out with them. Okay, first thing. I've never been to a concert before.

I've heard things about them. This is just, I've never been to a Taylor Swift concert before. Oh, you've been to our concert, though. A concert, yeah. These are things that I think you do, so just let me know if it's appropriate or not. Okay. Refuse friendship bracelets and tell them that ugly. Oh, I mean, it depends who you ask.

But I hated the friendship bracelet trend. Did you? Yeah, no, I hate. I just don't, nah, not for me. Not for me. I wouldn't go insulting people's work. Well, they're ugly. Oh, that ugly.

I don't know. Trust me, I get it. It's nice. If a kid comes up to you and goes, I've made you a friendship bracelet, just take it now. I don't know you, we're not friends. Yeah, I don't know friends, yeah. So yes, man.

No, I get it. No, I get it here with it. Yes, say exactly. No, don't, sorry. Don't. You've already dinged the bell. Second of all, make friendship

necklaces. That's a good shout. Bracets are overdone. I can set up my own little necklace business in the moshy. Would it be like a little chokas? No, I don't want to choke anybody.

No, no, choke a necklaces. How long were they dangling? To above the groin. Oh, long. Long. I'm going to throw a suggestion again. Friendship lays. Friendship lays.

I am on board with a friendship lays. So you're not six to you because you wear one every day, but a friendship toe ring. Yeah, I do wear a toe ring every day. I wear six. Yeah, and it's real weird, but I thought you could like do it. Okay, I'll pivot. I'll do toe rings. Thank you.

That's a good idea. Say I hate this song or the start of every song. Ah, hate this song. But you can't do it every song. But every song. Well, I would say why you were to tell us. This comes on. I hate this song.

Make people look, I don't know. Nah, I don't know why I write that down. I was a dumb idea. No. Tell everyone around you to be quiet so you can hear her. Yeah, fair. That's a good one. I think fair.

Shut up. I've been to an Ed Shearing concert before, like nosebleed seats, like way at the back could barely see her. And all these annoying people around me were just like yelling out the lyrics, like trying to sing along. But that obviously couldn't sing. and I literally turned around and said... Yeah.

That's crazy. And then he brings up a child to sing allay girl. No, no, that's cute. No, that's cute. No, that's cute. No, shut up. Okay, so I'm going to say yes, I can say that. Okay, I've got a couple more.

Explain all the Easter eggs to everyone around you? They'll already know. They'll already know? Okay, I won't do that. You'll know better than you, I reckon. Yeah, true. We're a T-shirt with Mysterio from Spider-Man movie printed on it. You're the character of Mysterio from Spider-Man?

No. Played by Jake Gill on. Hall? Oh, I see it. Drama, eh? Drama. You know what? I'm not sure many of the Taylor Swift fans would get the reference. Really? I didn't. Oh, cool. So it'll be a subtle little jab at them. I like it.

Okay, two more. I honestly, yes, that one. Two more. Dress up as Kanye and try the storm the stage? No, that's a big no. That's a big no? Yeah, please. I just showed the head. I wouldn't do anything else. Okay, then maybe. Yeah, maybe.

Okay, final one, and I think you guys will like this one. I've tried it before and it works very well. Fart a lot to clear space around you so you have room to dance. Thank you. Don't clap that. It works every time. Okay. Well, great to have you on board as a Taylor's with fan mate.

Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. It has been said that if I do not finally get a five-star fact by the end of next week, the segment is going to be axed. Exactly. You've been running the segment for the past eight months and you've never found a fact worthy of a five-star rating. So next week, in fact, we're letting the people help you,

find a fact that's good enough for a five-star rating by getting in, like around the people. We're going to Dunedin, Invercargo and Queenstown on our fact tour. The Air Java's Fact Tour. You got to give them that a fact. So I can take unlimited facts. Previously, I've only had one a day. Now I can take as many listener facts as possible and my facts. If you get a five-star fact, you save the segment also I've rallied $1,000.

Yeah. For the highest rated facts. Yeah, yeah. So we do hit the road on Wednesday next week. But right up until then, Lake Shorn says we're taking people on the phone as well to try and find a five-star fact. Yeah, because you can't get the five-star fact, mate. We've found that out. So we're going to have to go to the listeners.

They're going to have to give the five-star fact, I reckon. Now, Harrison, if you could describe the perfect fact as a judge. Yeah. What are you looking for? I'm looking for shareability. I'm able to share it with my friends in Farno. I'm looking for relatability. I want to be able to relate to that fact.

Yeah. And I'm looking for originality. I want to be original. You said original. You said original? You said original? He said original?

No, she said shereble. He said original, original, original. He said original. Original, shareable, original. Turn on your tarding is Sean. I don't think that's what he said. I'm on your side. I'm on your side.

Thank you. Thank you. Okay, let's go to the point. Well, Justin, he did, eh? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I got it. It's all right, man. I've got you back.

Oh, Justin. Remember who the judges are? Remembering the judges are. I love Justin. Now, Justin, your judges are, producer news and myself, Stefan Harrison. Now, when you're ready, impress us with your potential five-star fact. A thousand dollars is up for grabs.

Nice, nice. So my five-star fact is if you go to the KFC Twitter page, they follow exactly 11 people. They follow the five spice girls, and they follow six men named herb. So KFC follows exactly 11 herbs and spices. No notes, man. no notes. I think that's greater than any... I'm happy to put my hand up and say

that's better than any fact I've ever done on the show. It is. That is a good fact. A great fact. It's very fun. It brought a smile to me. Great diction. I understood every word.

pronunciation was formidable. Yeah. Producer-in-a-s-sam. What do you reckon about that fact? I think it was cool. I already knew it. I did you. Damn it.

Yeah. I was going to say that too. I did already know. I did already know it. I did already know it. I didn't. I didn't know it. Hmm.

Yeah, I liked it. It was fun. I'm going to give it a 4.5. It's pretty up the effect for me. That was a good time. It was a fun time. Producer News Sam? I'll give it a three.

Oh, she's famously harsh. She's tough, mate. She's tough, man. She's tough, man. And Justin, it's a four from me, matey. Oh, not bad. Not bad. There we go.

I'll take it. I'll take it. All right, legend, Justin. Appreciate it, mate. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Now there's a clip. put up from the show earlier this week that's

gone semi-viral, I think, almost 200,000 views on it, of Harrison not quite knowing what a mammal is. Do you know what a mammal is? 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 are. 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.

It's all fun and games for you guys. You know, I woke up this morning and I was like, oh my gosh, I said to my girlfriend, man, the video's done pretty well that someone posted last night at our Air Java's Instagram. Hundreds of comments. Not very nice.

Can I read you through just a few of them? Please. No one else finds this kind of scary and all sad. bruh, maybe we need to change NCAA tests. They are. They are doing it. Maybe this is why.

It's about too late, I think. Yeah. Good effing God, man. This is my favourite one. My hot take is that this is bad and not funny. Idiocracy is becoming closer to reality each day. I mean... That was only four of them.

Yeah. There are hundreds of them. They're brutal. Brutal. But I mean, knowing what a mammal is, is something that I'm sure everyone remembers learning at primary school. Like heaps, we learned about it. I feel like not just once, but like all the time.

You must have grown a very privileged then. No. In the public school system, I think we learned it. I'm genuinely worried about hasting schools because that's where you used to. Hey, take that back. No. So Harrison, dear sweet, Harrison. I have a list of animals in front of me.

Do you know what an animal is? Yeah. Okay. You're going to tell me whether it's a mammal or not. Okay. And mammal or not. Okay, are you ready? Yeah, I think so.

Because between, you know, reading all the comments this morning and feeling down about it, you must have, like, brushed up on what a mammal is, right? It's something that produces milk to its yarn. You are, noticed that a lot. I know now that a lot of animals can milk. Warm-blooded, it's another one. That's good to know. But about from snakes.

Pardon? Let's get into the game. No, no, wait, wait. What did you just say about snakes? I don't think snakes have cold blood. Which would make them are? Animal And specifically a

lizard kind Which is known as a mammal A mammal Is what we're doing mammal or not? Yeah, well it's not a mammal So what could it be? Yeah, a snake is a

Venomous This is Sunday Father's Day Happening live in the flesh A venomous snake is a A predator I don't know what you want me to say with it I've done every word I can think of reptile?

Ah, that's mostly lizards, but your snakes can too. I've heard. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Okay. That wasn't even on my list.

No. Is that the game or is it more? No. What is a dolphin? Mammal. She said this last time. Yeah, Sean told you that yesterday. Yeah.

A penguin? Mammal or not mammal? Not mammal. Because it's a... A sea creature. Bird. Bird. Birds.

It lays... Eggs. Eggs. Yeah? That's what birds do. A dozen milk. Bat. What's a bat?

Bird. Reptile? Bird. Not a mammal. Mammal. Mammle. Mammle. Nice.

Nice. Three for three. Okay. This is mammal or not mammal. A frog. Frog. Frog. Reptile.

Nice. Sean. Is it not amphibian? Yes. Oh, is a different one. You're wrong. Saddie it. My bad.

It's mammal or not mammal? He decided it wasn't a mammal, so I gave him a tick for it. Okay. A seal. Mammal. Correct. A hedgehog. Mammal?

Correct. A turtle. Mammle? Not a mammal. Not mammal. Because it is a... Reptile. Correct.

Is it? Yeah! Nice! That's it! No. Doesn't milk a little. No. Okay.

We have to play this again. No. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Time for the top three. You've probably seen the news. The Education Minister, Erica Stanford, has imposed a total ban on more Māori words

in the series of books used to teach five-year-olds to read. Now, people are extrapolating this and going, oh, they're not teaching Māori to kids anymore. That's not true. It's kind of just some books that are meant to teach them English, but there were too many Māori words, and they thought it was confusing. Yeah, no, no, yeah, some people are getting it confused.

But still it sucks because, like, it could be the start of it getting, like, worse, you know? That's the scary bit about it. It is Year 1 books and like six of them or something. But still, what's scary about this is it, is this just the start of what our grandparents' generation kind of went there as well? Yeah, is it enough. Our mouldy stuff removed in this country. You don't need to remove it anymore.

Yeah, let's just what, just leave it be. Leave it be. Well, so here's my point, right? There's five-year-old kids. They can understand multiple languages. It's actually the best time to learn languages when you're at that age. So my top three today are the top three things that I could do at five years of age, which proves definitively that five-year-olds can retain words from the Māori language.

It's that time of the day. The time to get your news. Brought to you by... That awkward five seconds that you have to sit through an ad when you're watching YouTube, and then finally that beautiful skip button appears and you're like, boom! And presented by... When you see somebody with a sore leg and they're in crutches and you jab your mate in the side and go, hey, look, that guy's holding his crutch.

It's the edge top three. I've never heard that one. Hey, the top three things I could do at five years of age, which proves that five-year-olds can retain words from the Māori language. One. Name upwards of 50 Pokemon. I reckon I could. And that's Japanese, so you tell me.

Okay, I'm going to try. Gigali puff. Gigali puff. Squirtle, Bulbazore. Um, poor. Snorlack. Pokemon is the, the yellow one? Yeah, Pikachu.

Pikachu. Pikachu. You thought his name was Pokemon. Yeah. It makes sense. The way of into characters being the name of the show. Anyway, number two things that I think kids can do at five years old. It's that they can definitely learn today.

Maori. Charazard. Thank you, Steph. Remember the rules to the game's bulrush, handball and stuck in the mud and perform them excellently. It's been a dream of mine to do a nationwide adult stuck in the mud. Like have thousands of people on a rugby field and play stuck in the mud. You know, when I was a kid, I could really get through someone.

legs with like swift dexterity that I could not manage nowadays. Especially in like the gym or the assembly hall, you know, and you can swing the side slide up between those legs. It's beautiful. Oh, glorious. Good. Three. The third in the top three things I think five-year-olds can do, which proves they can learn

today. A maori, sing and perform the dance to the ketchup song by Las Ketchup. Oh my God, I don't remember the dance. No, neither can I, truthfully. I was five, I nailed it. Wait, is it like the macarona? Different to him. Different, different.

Different. Yeah, different moves. It's like shaky, something, shaky, and then something. And then this. Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's it. Can I say, this is the second time we've seen Sean dance today. We need to do something with time.

Oh, we have to. It's the funniest thing watching him dance. We have to. Okay, I'm just trying to get in, guys. We have to. Next week on the show, we're going to do TikTok dance, and it will be Sean. Just Sean. Does not have enough points of things that you make fun of me for?

No, man, I'm too... Never, never empty, never, never, never. It's The Edge Top Three. Your Arvo's Hit Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Nice to have everyone back in the same room, as my family says, under the same roof. Again, you know, because Steph was in Wellington yesterday. Yes, you were.

Miss looking at you. Was I? That was weird, because I get talking hearing your voice, but you weren't there. What? I don't know. Yes, so via the power of the internet, Steph was able to be on the show, but in a different location. We live in the future.

I'm always used to it though because Sean's always doing long weekends. Oh yeah. No, I got quite sick. Takes a lot of time off. I got quite sick and I took two days off. I've got two days off this year and I've got so much slack from you guys for it.

Where did you go? Bali. I did have a holiday in Bali but I got sick. Where might he be going in October? Japan. Japan. Japan, Bali. Do you guys know where I'm going this year for a holiday? Oh, where?

Now where. Yeah, but that's on you. That's because you've chosen to. to have like four jobs. Ah, work ethic. Every time I'm like, I'm going on holiday, Harrison's like, how? How can one's 25-year-old with no children manage a holiday? That's true.

How, Sean? Well, yes, I was in Wellington yesterday, and straight after the show, I had to catch a flight from Wellies to Auckland, and I hopped into an Uber. And as soon as I got in, the guy driving, oh, my God, he was so nice, you guys. He was so lovely. He was like, oh, are you Steph? And I was like, yeah. And that's when I noticed he's listening to The Edge.

And I was like, he must have just been listening to the show and me talking about my nipples, classic. And so I was like, yeah. And he's like, oh, I'm a big fan of the show. I listen all the time. I love The Edge Breakfast Show. I love you guys in the afternoon. Oh, that's cute.

He was so nice. And I was like, his name was Hakeem. And I was like, well, I mean, Sean and Harrison aren't here to meet you in person like I am. But how about? We go down in Wellies. Well, yeah, next time we're in Welles, we'll definitely hang out. But also, how about leaving Sean and Harrison a little audio message to play for them on the show? Please tell me you fired into the microphone.

Oh yeah, because he farted in an Uber, didn't you? No, no, no, no. Didn't he farted in the Uber? No, no, no. This is a different Uber story. And the driver farted when I was just getting it. No, no, no, no. This is someone else.

No, this is someone else. Okay. So this is my Uber driver yesterday, Hakeem, with a little message to you guys. Hi, Sean and Harrison. It's me, Hakeem, Overdriver. Got to stay with me today from Wellington to, yeah, she heading off to Auckland guys, and I do admire you guys.

You guys are cool. Keep up the great job. I love Heim already. It's so cute. Content idea. Can we fly to Wellington and somehow find budget to pay Hakeem to drive us, Uber drive us up to Auckland? Oh, fun.

Take like a nine-hour Uber ride with Hakeem. I loved him. we go to Wellington and just get Uber's all day until we get Hakeem. That's good. And then we do the show from Hakeem's Uber. No, but lots of Uber's and then we just do the year. It's good. Then we one seat left because we'd be us three and Akeem and we can just do Uber pull

that other seat with me. And we do Uber pool interviews where everyone we pick up, we have to like get on the show and talk and just learn about. I've always wanted to do the radio show from an Uber and then like pick people up. I thought it would be real fun. Yeah, it'd be so fun. Well, I did pitch an idea to him. I was like, we should get you on to do like Uber stories.

Because he must pick people up all the time with great yarns. So anyway, we'll work it out. Watch the space. And Hakeem, if you're listening, we bloody love you. Shout out. Shout out to Hakeem. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Hey, hope you enjoyed the podcast. If you're one of the very few people who's made it to this point and goes, you know what I want? More of these guys. Here you go. This is the unfiltered podcast outro. Now, guys, you know how this week's been like Taylor Swift Week? She did her first podcast.

Well, I'd say the first half of the week wasn't really dominated by her. No, but it was the anticipation. It's just been just such a great week for Taylor Swift fans this week. So exciting. Because being a Swifty, not that I'm like Dye Hard Swifty, but I'm like, I kind of meddle. Could afford me. And part of the fun of being a Taylor Swift fan is the hype and the anticipation and trying to figure things out ahead of time.

Yeah. So, God, it's just been so fun. But can I, and we are recording this, and I want to save this for when the album comes out on the, I think the third of October. But you guys know how there's going to be a song on it with Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah, so excited. So excited. So I had a dream last night.

I had like the most vivid dream of how that song's going to go. And I woke up this morning. And I could remember the melody like as soon as I woke up. But then like, you know how you remember dreams as soon as you wake up? But then they kind of go away. It kind of went away after a few minutes. And I can't remember the melody, which I'm so mad about. But what I do remember.

I dreamed about there being a lyric about a bouquet of flowers, a bouquet, and kitty. The word kitty, I remember. So you can't sing it for us, but kitty and bouquet of flowers. And I reckon if I dreamed last night of what the song is maybe going to sound like, we'll save this audio, we'll replay it when the song comes out and I want to see if I'm right. because I reckon I'm some kind of spooky Taylor Swift, like FortuneTeller or something. I don't know. Imagine if I'm right. That is cool.

Time capsule this. Yeah, we will. I honestly, this is a true story. I had a dream last night. Nothing to do with what you said. So if you're ready to get off Taylor Swift chat, let me know. Do you have anything else? No, no, no.

Okay, cool, go. No, I'm ready for your story. Okay, cool, go, this is dream chat. Okay. I had a dream last night that genuinely is out of his office. And then the boss yelled at me. From upstairs Oh

My name names The short one Which one? It's a dream I don't think it really The short one The short one yelled at you Yeah the short one

Yell him from upstairs Like vicious vile yelling Oh What did you? I don't know What did you do? I was just like laughing And make people laugh

No word of lie An hour before the show I got yelled at From someone upstairs Was it huh? No, it wasn't him Oh What did you get yelled at for?

I was just being loud Really? And someone was like Be quiet place Yeah she like A woman lent over and then somebody from the office

I can't remember my name someone at a desk with curly hair you know what I'm talking about Who? Someone at a desk, I don't know with their name with the curly hair at the bottom Yeah? Said to me like, Harrison, Harrison, I'm like, I'm like,

I walk, because I was still out laughing and talking and she's like points and the lady's that leaning over because I'm kind of under the roof but she's leaning over to see me on her side from upstairs going Can you keep it down please? You're very loud.

Really? And I was like, sorry! Yeah, this is an insight. And so we moved into this new beautiful building as an office a couple years ago. And like the building, our old building was so run down and derelict. But it was so nice because every single, we're in a building with a bunch of other radio stations and then corporate, which is upstairs. It's like a real like the others and lost when you go upstairs. It's people in so selling it.

And everyone in modern offices is like, open plan. It'll be so good. Now everyone's like, we can't have fun. And if you are too loud, they tell you to shut up. In our old building. It felt like a classroom. It was a classroom. It was like a door.

It was like a door. It was a classroom. It even had the classroom, like, oldest-best-off panels on the ceiling and stuff. Like, it felt like... It was crazy. It was just amazing. You would have thrived, mate. You would have absolutely thrived.

For the listeners, to imagine this new one. I obviously know what this new one. It's like imagine a two-story house. And on the floor of the second story is a big hole in it. Yeah. That's exactly what this looks like. It's like every other corporate office in New Zealand. It's such a dumb idea.

Why'd they do that? I don't like it. It's quite flashed when you walk in, but it's not very practical. I think it's more professional, but if you want to be an idiot like us and it's we can't put, we piss people off. That's the second time I've been yelled at this year from upstairs. It'll happen, man. It happens to me as well.

It's not. No, it doesn't. You go and yelled at it. I've been told off by them. Oh my God, I would cry. I cry immediately when I get told off. Oh. Yeah, it's low-key embarrassing.

As an adult being told off is like quite confined. It's so scary. And I always notice, I notice that the times I have been told off because our bosses kind of sit out here too, those bosses are never around. So I know they've been peeping a few days. I reckon they peep over and go, hmm, Okay, the bosses are there.

I'm not going to yell. And then when they're not there, I get yelled at. Really? I'm like, well, tell, say that when the boss is here then. Let's do this on the show on Monday. When have you been told off as an adult? Because I think that's quite funny. It's really confronting.

It was like, icky. I was like, oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean it. And you dreamed about it the night before. I dreamed by someone else. I dreamed about getting told off. And today was told me. Oh, God, you wouldn't believe that.

They're so crazy. Yeah, I hate getting told off as an adult. It's really demoralizing. All right, Monday on the show we'll do it. But hey, hope you enjoyed the podcast. Have a great day. Love you. Love you.
