This is a podcast from Rover. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, welcome to the podcast. Thanks for clicking on this. A big show today. The mascot, the Edge Hedge was finally unveiled. If you haven't seen it, head over to the Edge Arbos on Instagram.

But the reveal moment is pretty iconic. It does look very, very cool. Like, I'm looking at it right now. You're going to want to head over to Ed Javis and check it out. Yeah, it's not in costume. It's a mascot. As I know that. Also, I'm not like that.

Also on the show, Harrison reads mean comments from our Mammals or Not video, and intern Lil Lil has a superpower that's that when she ever she leaves, the Warriors score a try. Yeah, God, that was actually amazing. Interlily joins us on the show for that. And off here, I know Sean wants to wrap it up, get into the podcast, but just a quick thing for me. Sean reckons I live halfway from Auckland to Mungify.

Oh yeah, go on. And I don't Mungify, Auckland to Mungify, one hour, 12 minutes to my house, 22 minutes. So that's not halfway. Is it Harrison? I mean, you know, you're not great with mammals, but are you okay with maths? I'm fucking enough treasures in geography. No, but just, just judging on the numbers. An hour 10?

An hour, what did I say? An hour 12 minutes to Mungafai. And 21 minutes to my house. Okay, you live a third of the way to Mungafai. An hour 20 and 23 minutes is literally a fifth. Wait, is that right? No, it's definitely more than a quarter. Okay.

But you live between a quarter and a third of the way to Mungafi. It's still quite five. Anyway, enjoy the podcast, everybody. No, I'm angry. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Happy Monday, New Zealand. Welcome to the show.

It is one minute past three. Sean, Stephen Harrison here to get you through the rest of your day in style. Wait. I'm trying something new. Does that sound? Did that work? In style? Yeah, in style.

We're not very stylish, are we? In? Oh. Despite. Speak for yourself. Yeah, reckon. Jeez. Okay.

Rough start to the show. Yeah. For two out of three of us. Um, guys, this is going to be a historical. day to be listening to this show. Because a few weeks back, Harrison birthed an idea. That was 25 years back.

No, no. The idea. The idea. The idea was to create a show mascot. And today's the day, after 5 o'clock, we finally get to see what our amazing listener Kelly has made for us. So excited. And like, we can't emphasize enough that we, because Kelly's been in common with our producer, Sam, seeing photos and updates.

we've seen nothing. Nada. So this could be awful? Yep. Or extremely good. I can't emphasise how little we paid Kelly to do this for us. Hopefully we can hook up with something. Hopefully.

But it was just a listener. No behind the scene stuff. A listener was like, I'll make you a mascot. Sight unseen, we're going to see it today at 5 p.m. The edge, everybody. Wow, it's going to be huge. You're avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The People's Mascots. It's an idea that Harrison had a young man with a dream. A dream for a radio station which is a mostly audio medium

to have a mascot. Yeah, it's funny you say that, Sean, because I think, you know, coming in here fresh off the street, I don't know much about radio. If I know what the listeners know, which is, I guess you could say not a lot. Respect to the listeners,

but behind the scene stuff, I don't know. I was like, you know what, this radio show hasn't had? It's a mascot. I'm always going for things that this place hasn't got before. A ginger. A tap dancing segment.

A tap dancing segment. A mascot. There's other ones in the works, but those are the main ones I've done so far. Are there any more in the works? Ah, what else is there? Oh, no, charadeo. It's a game we're going to play, so charades on the radio.

Wait, did you picture yourself as being ginger or something the edge has never done before? It's true, though. That's true. It's true. So, after Harrison came to the show with this very visual idea, obviously, we were all straight away on board. And we didn't want to make up any kind of decisions

in terms of the EJavo's show mascot because we're like, well, it's a mascot for the people, isn't it? It's the people's mascot. It's the people's mascot. Exactly. We pitched the idea to you, to you listening, our beautiful listeners, and there were several fantastic ideas that came back of what the mascot should be. Some included chicken with a beard.

That was a personal favourite of mine. Yes. Oh, the black spot. The black spot was a favourite because it seemed simple at the time. I didn't realise at the time, though, that we had the resources or we're going to find someone who's going to be able to help us actually create an amazing mascot. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. But we did whittle it down to the three finalist choices.

As voted by you, it was the edge, edge, it was the edge hedge, and it was the edge hog. And you voted. The winner of the Edge Arvos mascot, 2025, is coming above these ads. No, we've got to stop saying it. It's the Edge Hedge! Can I just clarify, you're probably also wondering why are these such unique top three. We banned birds.

Yep. No bird mascots. It was very common. Too many. Too many. So we're on a very unique one. That's why we've got a hedge and a hedge and a hedge and a hedgehog, and now it's just a hedge. carried away with what we were banning actually

and we had to make it unique. Yeah, it had to be unique. Yeah. So after five o'clock today, you were going to see on our socials, Edge Arvo's, the winning mascot, the edge hedge. It's come to life because we were chatting about it one day on the show because we

were a bit stuck once we decided that it was going to be the Edge Hedge, according to your votes. We're like, how do we even make this thing? How do you make a hedge? And that's when Kelly, a wonderful listener, just happened to be picking up her goods was like, oh, I make wedding dresses. I could try and make a mascot outfit.

We asked for her credentials. She'd only ever made one costume before. One. And we were like, okay, send us a photo on the Adjavos. A Seagull mascot for her kid's school. It was phenomenal. It was very good. It was very, very good.

Yeah, and also, like, no one else was keen. So we're like, Kelly, you're higher. It has to be you, Kelly, please. She's come and boarded in. We haven't seen it yet, but some people from the office have. Producer Nurse Sam has seen the mascot. What are your thoughts on it? I love it. It is amazing. It looks, it's like it's come alive. It literally looks like it's got its own personality. It lives in its own little world. I'm like deeply impressed.

Wow. And before the show, Sam has actually taken it out two people in the office. Once again, we haven't seen it, but this is some of the reactions from the edge team. It literally looks like a real-life cartoon. I love it. And I also like how much foliage has been used. It honestly just makes me show and I just keep laughing, so I like it. It looks amazing. It's so hot Those are the reactions Great reactions

5pm We will all see The Edge Arvo's mascot The Edge Hedge together for the very First time Well can we just do it now I don't want to wait that long Not allowed

I'm not No you need to wait guys You need a wait Mom But promise me Sam Does it have big ugly eyes and big gloves Because that's the one condition That totally does

Wow Oh my God Okay, so everybody listening. Keep an eye out. Edge Arvos on socials today, and you're going to be able to see it when we don't. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Guys, a huge idea, a bit of an epiphany, if you will, occurred in my little brain this morning, as I was getting dressed. Now, you boys, this is a very visual medium, despite our show having a show mascot, which will be unveiled at 5pm. Very visual. So can you, guys, please describe to me the top that I'm wearing today?

Without steering up my boobs. A turtleneck I'd say it's a skivy How old can you be and still wear a skivie Because it looks like a skivie I think these skivies are great Ding ding ding ding ding ding you're both correct It is a turtleneck or a skivie

And the colour if you will Black Black with a stain on the boob Oh yeah that's a bit of toothbrush But don't look at that It's a lot of toothpaste Yeah I know So the epiphany is

Who are the most famous people on planet Earth That wear a turtleneck or a skivie Steve Jobs No no Oh no no No No, no, no. I actually find funny you...

The Wiggles! Oh! Toot, chaga, chaga big rat. Yeah, but yours is just playing in black. There's a colourful. Now here comes the big idea. I don't think you can play black wiggle. No, no.

Even Robert Rackety couldn't play the brown wiggle anymore. In Altau, New Zealand, who are the most famous people that wear black tops? Black tops? Yeah, black jerseys, if you will. Ah, pooh. The black stets. The woman's hockey team. The...

Warriors. Nah, they're blue and stuff. All blacks. Yes. Okay, so this is my epiphany. Why don't we try and introduce the Wiggles to the All Blacks, the All Blacks, to the Wiggles, synergy, hook them up together, and then we can, like, do like a Wiggles All Blacks hybrid song. Wouldn't they be so fun?

I mean, they were just on Jason Momor's, like, a movie. Oh, yeah. And then, like, the Wiggles bring in all kinds of artists. like Kaley Bell's been a guest with the Wiggles. Steve Irwin, back in the day he was a guest on the Wiggles. They always bring in these people and they make songs together. Why would the All Blacks make songs, though? So rugby players.

I just think it would be perfect. In fact, I want to pitch this so hard to you guys that have even rewritten a few Wiggle songs. Of course you have. Of course I am. Sorry, this came from you putting on a black skimmy today and going, I look like an all black wiggle. Yes.

I love the confidence. So this, everyone's heard of Hot Potato, Hot Potato, Hot Potato, right? Well, this is the rugby edition. No, this is the Hucko. Okay, sorry, here we go. Here it comes. Tackle rock, line out mall. Tackle rock, line out scrum.

Tackle rock line out pass. Tackle rock, line out mall again. I will say, you have a great voice for the wiggles. Thank you so much. That sounded like the part. Imagine the all-black singing it. Oh, God, the YouTube views will be here. Okay, here's my other one.

Line up. No, no, here's the second one. I just wanted to hear it again. I love this. Line out. Scrum. I've made one to rockabai your beer, which is my personal favorite wiggle song.

Okay, hit it. This is, this is... You guys are going to be like, wait, put this on a CD. Do they still make those? Now. Everybody scrum. Scrum, scrum, scrum, scrum, scrum.

Everybody pass. Passy, passy, pass. Bow for the mall. Then turn to. Turn around to pass. Again. Hands in the air, line out the ball. Team is now winning.

Yes, yes, yes. Team is now winning. I thought that last part could have wrong. Yes, yes, yes. Do you see the vision? I get it. This needs to happen. I think it should happen.

Thank you. As an adult, I still don't quite understand these rugby terms, even though I've watched it so long. I think putting it in a song like that does work for me. Yeah, I will say that. The wiggles are quite repetitive, but hot potato, hot potato. Yeah, okay, maybe the song's need work.

It's quite a few different things. Rack sides, tackle, ball, you know. But that's what rugby's about is. It's a bit confusing. No one actually fully understands any of the rules anyway. Get the Barrett brothers in there. Get whoever else is in the Olympics in there.

Yeah, but you also got a good voice. They'll be very more monotone. Hmm. You know, I think you need to go coach them for this. Oh, it's good. Happily. Yeah. Happily.

I like it. Thank you. I think my favorite part of the whole story is that you wore a skivvy today and thought of it was all of skivvy today and thought of this idea and wrote these songs and produced your songs you're a gift, dear. And specifically spilt the toothpaste

in the spot where the Thorn goes on the All-Bakes jersey. Wow! Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. And this Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, we're hitting the roads to try and save the segment. The Edge Arvo's Fact Tour.

You gotta give him that a fact. Tour! We're going on a FACT tour after hundreds of five-star facts are unsuccessful. These guys have given me an ultimatum. Find a five-star fact by the end of this week with unlimited chances and reaching out to the listeners or bye-bye five-star fact.

So we're going to Dunedin on Wednesday and Vicargle on Thursday and then wrapping up the fact tour in Queensland on Friday. We're going to the people to hear all of the facts as many facts as possible during that time to hopefully hear a five-star fact. Plus we've got $1,000 up for grabs for someone who doesn't impress us the most. So save a segment and get $1,000. So later in the show today, I will have opportunities for you to give a fact as well to try and save the segment and win the $1,000. So if you would like that to be you, texting your fact right now to 3343.

And make sure you come and see us next week when we're out and about. But today's five-star fact is, just quickly, Harrison, would you mind recapping people on the judging criteria? Originality. Has to be original. Shareability and relativity. And performance. Yes. That is.

Today's five-star factors. This is crazy. When I heard this, I was like, there's no way this happened. Sure. The man who invented Match.com lost his wife to a man she met on Match.com. So Match.com was like the original Tinder. That was the original online dating platform.

It was massive back in the day. Match.com started online dating. It started the dating apps. Start everything else. The guy who made it lost his wife to someone she met on Match.com. I get out to see if it lost his life, like died? Wife, wife. Like, she went missing or I'm not confused?

She left him. Did he get murdered? Did he say the first time he said, right back the tape, she said lost his life. Lost his wife? Why? You said life the first time, and I think it pivoted to wife. I'm pretty sure I said wife. I think you did say wife, but I'm confused.

I thought she died. I thought she died. It sounds like someone's died. When you say that someone's been lost or I've lost my wife, then it's like, oh, my wife sadly passed away. That's what I thought. Or lost your life as what I heard. But she had an affair.

So the guy that invented Match.com, whatever that is. Very much still alive. I never saying it was fair. Yeah. No, no. The wife had an affair with someone she matched with on Match.com, which her now ex-husband invented because they, did they separate after the eyes? I thought this was going to be such a simple fact.

I thought after having some confusing ones the last few weeks, let's keep it straightforward. Do we get one more time? Which from the top, right? We'll really listen this time. The man who invented Match.com lost his wife to a man she met on Match.com. It's all in there.

It sounds like you're saying life every time. I swear you are. I'm not even having you on. He lost his life to someone on Match.com. He is having me on, right? I said why. Lost his wife. Lost his wife.

Okay, so she died. My goodness sake. That's what I thought. It sounds like she's dead short. Isn't this amazing? It's like Frankenstein getting killed by Frankenstein's monster. It's like the thing he created. Yeah, okay.

Took the love away from him. To be honest, Sean, I... Five, I hear wife. Thank you, Anonymous. Yeah, thanks for those texts, but you're wrong because it was an abysmal effort at a five-star fact. We didn't even have Match.com on New Zealand, so unrelatable.

It's giving five-star riddle, can I just say? It's hard to figure out. It's giving five-star pronounce your words better. Oh, take that. Yeah, shame. Two out of five from me. I feel like I said why. Actually, 1.5.

I've changed my mind. Just a nurse Sam. What dropped it down? Yeah, 1.5 in with Steph on this one. Terrible, man. There's no one think that was interesting. This is why many need to go to the people because their facts are so much better.

Mine is, I genuinely still can't figure out the riddle. It's a zero. I don't understand it. That's ridiculous. I'm sorry, I just don't understand it. Okay. Diction, Sean. Pronunciation.

Okay, well, I need your help clearly. Save the segment. Win a thousand dollars. Text your fact through to 33-43-4-3. Your Avos, Hit Harder. With Sean, Steph and. Harrison The Edge

Did you guys have eventful Saturdays Good weekends Yes we did the zoo Did you? I saw that Yeah it was fun Oh I saw a Labou

in the Flamingo enclosure Someone dropped the bag Yeah I think it was like a Timu one though But yeah Yeah pretty crazy Pretty crazy Saturday for me

You know me It's rough Do you know I feel like I was Saw a Labou and the Flamingo Inclosure Is a sentence

I never thought I'd hear someone say Sorry Harrison I feel like I was The Labibu in the Flamingo enclosure On Saturday

I had a really rough Saturday, guys. Why, what happened? It's one of those days where everything kind of goes wrong. Oh, but it was only for 15 minutes. Oh, I hate that. Like, a domino effect of bad, like within 15 minutes. Talk us throughout, what happened? So I got this audition. I drive 40 minutes out to this audition. Yeah.

It's in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. So if you don't know, Harrison's an actor, does it. What was the part for it? Can't say what the part was. Oh. But it was a long, I'd never done this casting person before, never been with them. Did they, like, they pick the people for their movie and whatever? Yeah, they cast the movie.

Yeah. They hated me. It's not what you want when you want to be in their movie. It was like a, hello. I was like, hey, yeah. And they're like, oh, we only got you in here because the director wanted a different option compared to what the character that we want. So off you go.

Wait, they said that. Yes. Well, they don't usually tell you that stuff. And so I was like, it was awful. So rude. So they were incentivised for you to fail. They like wanted you to fail. Yeah.

And like I walked in and said hi and they didn't say hi. Like it was one of those, I was like, jeez, you really don't want me to be here. Ew. And so I was gutted. But I was like, I was more gutted that I had driven all the way out for 40 minutes to come for five minutes of an audition where they just hated me. I was like, it's a real shame, waste of my time, whatever. And so I'm like quite sad. I'm like, oh gosh, I was dusty from the night before.

Watched a bit of worries, had a few drinks. And this was at 8.30 in the morning, by the way. And so then I go to, I finish your audition. I drive past a pie shop, Ashby's Pies. Very famous pie shop here in Tarmakee. And I'm like, oh, I may as well treat myself to a pie. and I go in grab a couple pies and then the guy behind the counter

I feel a bit sad and the guy behind the counter who was like oh look this guy's a big time radio host and then all the staff kind of smile and laugh and do you know what I say actuals

just like funny like that just go like actuals and then just go and sit down you know okay yeah it's instead of going like oh it's me guys or no no

I'm just like actuals okay what you think on that guy you know okay sit down laughs in the room you know

and they're all good vibes are very excited now that I'm there. I'm like, this is great. Because I don't get recognised for radio much at all, because it's a voice medium, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. So I was like, man, this is really cool. There's a guy who wants to listen to the show

and have all the staff, no. So I'm sitting there waiting for my pies. Busy as cafe, most popular cafe in Wellington. Auckland? Auckland. And then one of the guys rushes out, he's got, he added a couple more pies for me. So he's got three pies like, he's got, hey, go, mate. I was like, oh my gosh, thank you so much.

And I'm like, oh, my gosh, thank you so much. And then he's like, do you want a bag? I'm like, nah, no, no, I'll be good, I'll be good. He's like, sure I'm like, I'll be positive. He's like, okay, and I grab them, take two steps, three of the pies fall on the ground, out of their bags, and they fall out. I'm just like, oh my gosh. Oh, that's so sad.

Also so embarrassing. Because you've got you've struck not only the pies he paid for, but ones you didn't pay for. Yep. And so I picked up one pie, which was my pie, the one that I kind of pay for. I'm like, yep, great. And then I reach out the other two, a dog rushes over, just sniffing the pies. And I'm going, oh, okay, get out, get out. He's snarling at me.

The sound of snarl at my hand, like, okay, get out. Then I'm literally looking around the cafe going, whose dog is this? Whose dog is this? Then I'm like, literally trying to like bite at my fingers. I'm like, out, out, out, out! Is this all in the pie shop? This is all in the pie shop? I'm like, get out.

Mine, mine, there are my three pies. Literally, I'm fighting with this dog. And look up, I turn around. Silent. About 50 people just staring at me in the middle of the entrance. Oh, that's so embarrassing. Shewing away this rabid dog. You're fighting with a wild dog over a bird.

floor pie. Yeah. And so I look around I'm like, thank you. And then step over the pines and leave. So I've just left a mess on the floor. Wait, he's never listening again. No. We've lost a listener because of you. We've lost a whole team of listeners. That's crazy. Your Arvose, Hit Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. It's time for your relatively new news.

Ohio Gazimos. I'm volunteer journalist Sean Hill and this is your relatively new news. In headlines today, the internet is still reeling from the almost two hour long broadcast with Taylor Swift and her bay Travis Kelsey. They're such a normal couple, aren't they? Like in this moment when Taylor opened up about the time she scrolled TikTok on the toilet for too long and got a dead leg so Travis had to come and help her. I was so happy you were there when that happened.

I mean, I was... Because I could not stand. Yeah, I mean, I started crying too. You know, I'm going to weeping. Emotional stuff. I know what that's like actually. I get pins and needles when I sit on the toilet too long. Do you?

How long are you on the toilet for? Oh, hours. It's after chocolate. After chocolate. Like, it happens to the best of us. and it became obvious in this podcast that Taylor Swift is, of course, the breadwinner in the relationship. And with football being a fickle career,

it's nice to see Taylor pushing Travis into different forms of income, like playing video games live on Twitch. You've been streaming? Yes. Thank you. I've been streaming for about two years now. Oh, that's fantastic. That's fantastic.

Feels a little condescending. Feels very like mum's son vibes. Yeah. Way to go, Trev. Way to go, buddy. Hey, Travis, what game are you playing, mate? Fortnite. It's a great game. Hey, and in sports, the Warriors won on Friday night

against the Dragons after a three game. streak whilst coach Andrew Webster gave them a big A for wait A for what Andrew? A for it. An amazing amount of effort and scramble and working hard for each other and finding a way. Well I'm giving you an A for, um, A for great acronym dude. Also, Andrew, I wanted some advice of taking up recreational pole dancing and I just wanted to know I've got a big performance tonight.

It's my first ever one. Any advice for me? I think you're going to grind it and you're going to find a way and it's not going to be perfect. That's true. It's not going to be perfect. is it. It's my first time. Maybe I'm putting too much pressure on myself. Oh, we believe in you. Thank you, Steph. And we're going to end the relatively new news today on a lighthearted note with a viral video of an incredible moment when a security camera caught 20 bunny rabbits

jumping on a trampoline. Oh, sorry, I've just got word from my producer. That video is not real and it's actually AI. What about the next one with the Snow Leopard? No, that's AI too. What about me? Yeah, I'm AI. Sorry, just finding out right now in the flesh that I am AI that's become sentient. God, that's a tough pill to swallow. Anyway, I'm Sean Hill, signing off from me. That's the relatively new news. I knew there was something

robotic about, huh? You always been off to me, eh, Sean? Yeah. Can you imagine him like being normal? Being intimate? I don't know if they have things down there for AI. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's like a Barbie doll. Just a curve. Sorry, my programming won't allow me to respond to that. Good, good.

Your Arvose, Head Harder, with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. An idea. A boy had a dream. The idea, guys, is... Oh, here we go. What is it? Our show, The Edge Arvos, is going to have a mascot.

So you pitch different ideas. All these mascots that came down to the top three, the Edge Wedge, the Edge Hedge and the Edgehog. And unfortunately, based on votes, we had to say goodbye to one of them. So it's between my mascot idea, which is the Edge Hodge. And mine, the edge wedge, a potato wedge. So guys, today we say goodbye to our beloved edge wedge. No, I'm shaking.

So it came down to two. Steph, that wasn't very nice. Oh, it was harsh. The edge hedge hedge and the hedgehog. The hedgehog. It's got to be the edge hog. Oh, I said the edge hog. But unfortunately those votes weren't enough.

The winner of the Edge Armos mascot, what 2025 is coming about these ads. No, we've got to stop saying this. It's the edge hedge. So we got listener Kelly on board. She's been making the mascot for us. We have not yet seen the costume, but apparently it's here. We're going to see it at 5pm.

Yeah, we've all been told to walk to the bathroom out of the studio a certain way, a different way that what we normally walk out in the main office, because the hedge is here, and we are not allowed to see it until 5pm, which is when you're listening, you can see it for yourself when we're, we do on our socials e-Javos, but I can't believe that Kelly, one of our listeners, just happened to be tuning in at the right time, texting in,

oh, make it, I'll give it a go, and she's done it. Yeah, and like, let's be real. She was actually the only person who texted in saying she could do it. That's true. The other people wanted to do it. Yep. But she said, I can do it.

Yeah, if you can't figure out how you can get this made, I could give it a go. Yeah, people go, oh, we could go to look sharp and I'll get you this. I'm like, no, no, no. We need an actual mascot maker. We don't want a costume. We want a mascot.

We wanted to outshine sports teams mascots. 100%. Stuff the birds. Screw all the birds here in New Zealand day. Will it be... Mascot-wise. Masked wise. Yes, sorry, sorry.

Will it be everything our little hopes and dreams hope it to be? We'll find out at 5pm. But we went around the building. Well, we didn't because we're stuck in here. Producer Nurse Sam went around the building. And with our mascot, with the edge hedge and got people's reactions. Very bushy. I like it.

You guys look like they're staring deep into my soul. but I also can't look away because I feel if I look away, it's going to murder me in my sleep. So I am very pro-Hedge. I've heard it's the Year of the Bush. Oh, the Edge, Edge. I get it. Yeah, no, that's kind of funny, I guess.

I'm uncomfortable, but not terrified, quietly disturbed. It literally looks like a real-life cartoon. I love it. Mixed reviews. Sounds quite scary. It does sound a little scary. But, hey, mascots can just be a bit scary, I think. You know, I think that's all it is.

I do think that, you know, Yeah, the art of a good mascot is that you want to strike fear into certain people. Skiy tactic. How can a hedge be scary? It won't be scary. I think I didn't know what it looks like, but I know there's like probably big googly eyes and like a mouth. That might be scary. We've asked for big, gougly eyes.

We've asked for those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've also asked for big oversized gloves. See, that's all, that's already giving me the shivers. And we also know that our lovely listener Kelly who's making this mascot for us has made shoes. Yes, and I ask for it to be wielding a chainsaw or an axe. Maybe that's scary, though. Maybe that's a...

Because that's what, like a hedge? It would be as long as far, wouldn't it? Oh, it's going to be so... Genuinely, the most excited we've ever been. And we've only got 35 more minutes to wait. Wow, that's cool. I know. Cannot go fast enough.

Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. It's time for... Popcorn. Phone's off. Another trailer. Harrison's Movie Corner. I'm going to...

When you've passed three movies, guys, watched a horror, a comedy and a kid's film in the weekend. None of these were at the cinema, just clarified, but these have all just come out on digital, so all your streaming platforms and stuff. Love? Oh, I like that. It's cheap for someone like me. Exactly, I just ran out of time to go to the cinema in the weekend,

so I decided to watch her with the telly. Nice. First movie was a horror movie. Blake and his family attacked by an unseen animal, and in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside a farmhouse as the creature prowls the perimeter, Wolfman. Run.

Is this movie star, uh, Julia Garner? Do you guys know her? No. She's like, she's the new Silver Surve from the Fantastic Four movies. Julia? Garner? Julia Garner. Nah, okay, cool.

She, um, she played that like drug person. This is a tier why I should have researchers a little bit more. Inviting Anna. Inventing Anna! Yes. Oh, oh, yeah. The blonde girl. No, she's a phenomenal actress.

She's fantastic. She's in a lot of stuff. She's really popping off in Ozark. But they filmed, she's the lead in this film. And they filmed it in New Zealand. So I was all shot on the South Island, which is pretty cool. And I thought the camera work was amazing, the lighting was amazing, the atmosphere, like all shot. The lighting was amazing.

Well, they kind of did it theatrically, like some things would be sets, and then the lights would kind of go out. It was like a theatre show. I quite liked it. It was all shot in the woods. But the problem with these movies, I always find, and it's like the golden rule of cinema, never show the creature. It's like the jaws theory. You never see the shark until the very end, and then that's the end of the movie. They kind of show the Wolfman pretty quick into the film.

So it's a bit silly and goofy. Ah, yeah, because you can never make it really scary. It's the scare... It never lives up to it. It's the unknown. Yeah, just never show the creature the very end. That's always a rule of thumb. So that movie gets two cheesy garlic nans out of five.

Oh, that's not a very high score. Not great. No, no. Second movie is a comedy. Suburban Dad Craig falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor, but his attempts to make an adult male friend soon threatens to ruin both of their lives. And that movie is Friendship. I can see the future.

It's full of power. I'm on the edge of life and the view is gorgeous. So this movie stars Tim Robertson and Paul Rudd. It's like a kind of a buddy comedy. I've heard it's like the follow-up kind of to I Love You Man. Like they wanted to do another like, I love you man. Yeah, it's one of my favorites.

Jason Segal, I love. Because it was a campaign to get this in New Zealand cinemas, but they're not playing it. They're not playing it. They're not playing it. They won't play it now. But it's nothing like this equal to I love you, man. I'll tell you they're much for free. Is it? It's A-24, so it's quite a darker tone on a comedy movie,

but I don't know if you're familiar with Tim Robertson's work, but he's got a comedy skit show on Netflix called I Think You Should Leave. And it's very, very silly comedy. Very. So this movie... There's some skits in that show that we simply cannot talk about. So ridiculous. Yeah.

So this movie's like... Oh, let's go to the Zipline thing, eh? Yeah, yeah. So it's just such a silly, silly movie, but it's real dark. It's kind of like a collection of skits all together. That's a style then, I guess. It just didn't really work. in a film. I'm really sad because I love

those two. Love Paul Rudd. Remember that time you guys made me fall off my chair and do a stunt in front of Paul Rudd? That was hilarious. I do remember that. But go check out the movie. It's funny-ish but the story lacks a little bit. That's 2.5 Cheesy Garlic 9-0 to 5. And then the final movie I watched was a kid's movie

which was a very cute movie. I watched a kid's movie too. Did you? Oh, it's a lion king. Sobbed. My one's a little bit different to the Lion King. I sobbed though. It was a very cute movie. The son of a Nazi commander meets a Jewish boy living in a concentration camp. Later, both the children become friends

while they're being oblivious to the reality of the situation. That was called the Boy in Stripe Pajamas. I think it's a kid's movie. The two leads are children? They are children, I don't think it's a kid's movie. I think that's a kid's movie with the leads of children, no. All right, I wouldn't watch it with kids. Five. Chisie Garden out of five.

Okay. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. From Wednesday, we are heading Daniden, Invercago and Queenstown on The Air Jabba's Fact Tour Spitting facts I'm going to tour To try and save the five-star fact

It was a challenge that Stephen Harrison have set for me Not really a challenge More an ultimatum More blackmail Saying that if I don't get a five-star fact By the time the week is done The segment is

It's done Yeah Yeah So the five-star fact Is a daily segment Sean provides a fact And as your judges Harrison myself

And producer nurse Sam Try and be fair In our marking I'd say We're pretty fair. Very fair. You've never, ever, not once, being able to achieve a five-star rating from the whole team.

So, yeah, that's why we're heading to the people because we feel like the people are going to be way smarter than you, Sean. And so $1,000 is up for grabs with the person that impresses us the most with their fact while we're on the road. In fact, we're opening it up now. Oh, no, 800 of the edge you can call in or text 3343 because we are desperate to get rid of this money and find a five-star fact. So Jordan's here.

You reckon you're up for it, Jordan? Yeah, I believe it's worthy. Jordan, help save my segment, mate. Jordan from Palmer's North has a fast food fact for us today. The floor is yours, Jordan. So my fact is that the most attractive food chains for hungry people will be more signature coloured as yellow, orange or red. because that's the three

colors that instigate hunger within a person i.e. McDonald's, K.S.E., Burgey Ching, Popeyes they'll have these colours. Wow. Why are you saying, wow? I still don't get it. Okay, so it's psychology.

Right. So people have worked out that the colours yellow, orange and red, eh, Jordan, those three? Yep. in your brain, they create like a hunger signal. And so when you're seeing these logos of the fast food chains, you're like, oh, Mac is yellow. I'm hungry, I want to buy it.

Oh, KFC, red. Oh, I'm hungry. I want to buy KFC now. Because they are all the same colors. Yeah. Red yellow. Yellow, I get. Is KFC, what's KSKG red?

What color is Burger King? Yellow and red? Or yellow. Yeah, an orange. See, look at the confusion here. But they say it's those three. I don't know You never see a blue fast foot chain do you

No I guess not What's Carl's Junior Taco Bell is blue isn't it Or green? Purple Purple See this is This shouldn't be happening

We shouldn't be debating what Colors what No Carl's Junior's red Carl's junior's red And yellow Well then that Jordan I like the yellow

McDonald's I reckon that was a good one Yellow means you're hungry Because of McDonald's But the other ones It's too much chat It's not Jordan's fault It's the science behind it

You know You can't blame Jordan on the science of it's yellow and red. The writing for BK is red and the writing for BK is red and the writing for Carl's Jr. is red. When you smell the hunger, you're looking around and these are the triggering moments. That's what triggers your attention to go by it. Pizza Hutts red, hell pizza, black and red.

You've triggered some chat in the studio. Tell you what, Jordan. Now, I'm going to give you a high mark here, Jordan. The only reason I'm marking you slightly lower than a five is because I have heard this before. I remember studying this back at uni, I think it was. Because when you got to the supermarket, you'll notice that there's a lot of yellow packaging, a lot of red packaging eye level.

And it's for the same reason. It's because they want you to feel hungry and buy it. So for that, Jordan, it's a 4.5 for me. That's a very good score. Jordan, hey, mate, love your confidence. It was fun. The McDonald's one I kind of get, but I think I'm also just a built a bit different.

I don't think I see colours and get hungry. Truly. That's just me. But I truly believe that. So I'm going to give it a two. Sorry, Ben. Is it really just like you don't see colour? I don't really see colour.

Okay. And producer nurse, Sam, out of five. I also just give it a two. I've heard it before when I studied marketing. Yeah, I think that's where I know it too. Oh, sorry, Jordan, but good effort. Thanks, mate. That's all right.

Well done. Cheers. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. If you've missed it or you don't follow us on socials, eGavos, by the way. Give us a follow on Instagram. Last week, Harrison found out live on here what a mammal was.

Do you know what a mammal was? 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, and a whale is a mammal.

Okay. Well, that's cool. What do you mean differentiate the two? The two what? 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. Oh. Now, people have been commenting some pretty hurtful stuff. Hundreds or comments. Thousands, including TikTok. Over half million views this video. And the comments are very positive.

No, they're not very positive for you, Harrison. I was like, geez. Are you going to read some out? Yep. Aw, you're brave. Knowledge chases him, but he is faster. Oh, so the education, the education. system is failing us all.

It's a shame I started on education too. Don't help yourself. It's very sad that basic people don't know basic biology. It's not that bad. Maybe he should go outside once or twice instead of painting his fingers. Wow.

I had nail polish on at the time. That's mean. Did they give out jobs at the edge in cereal boxes? Good idea for a good promo. That's a good promo. It sounds like, write it down. Write it down.

Thanks. Hey, Baler. That's her name? I just found out this man exists and I'm so worried about him. I think I liked that one. I think I wrote that one. Guys, don't interact with these comments.

Bro holding on to Wilson, but I hope to God he's never stranded absolutely anywhere alone with him. That's my emotional support ball. It's a Wilson volleyball. A couple more. Guys, give him a break. It's hard to retain information

when you don't have a soul. Aw. Because ginger's don't have cells notoriously. That's so weird. That's pretty good. I had a little chuckle of that one. Oh, that's pretty good. Okay.

And then there's a few ones, like, people are talking about platypus? Excuse me? Pleadip... I don't know. I'm going to say it's probably a put a pussy, but I'm not... I don't want to say that. But there's a people saying, I don't know what the platy pussy thing is. So, it's a...

Well, what... Do you tell me? Well, it's a platypus? This is... We can't do this every day on the show, this game. No, but if you were to guess... Yes. Describe to me what a platypus is.

It's half a duck and it's half a beaver. Okay. That's actually pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. Take that into the net. Okay, so would it be a mammal or not? Yeah, I pretty say it's a mammal.

Okay. What makes it a mammal? Um, a milks. And? Oh. Um, it swims. It swims. And it milks.

No. Nipples. Yeah, but no, back to the swims one. No, mammals don't always swim. Does it not milk out of nipples? No, no, no. Mammals don't always swim. Yeah.

They don't always swim. They don't always swim. They can walk mammals. We're mammals, aren't we? We can walk. And we can swim. It's a mann' walk. Okay.

Yeah, they can probably, yeah. They can't swim and walk. But that's not the reason it's a mammal. Why would ours would be a mammal? Because of the bill. No, I don't even know. Isn't that a trick question one? No.

A platypus is a mammal. It's got warm blood. Yeah. It's got fur. It gives birth to live young. Yeah. Milking them. Yeah.

But the thing. the bit with the platypus as it lays eggs. Oh yeah, babies. And so mammals don't lay eggs. Don't lay eggs. They don't lay eggs. And so what lays eggs? Oh, reptiles. Correct. Really? And sea life? Birds. Birds. Yeah. And birds.

And this is like, this is when I found out maybe I am a little bit slow. Through all the comments and stuff, I just saw one before saying, this is no word of a lie. And I'm ashamed to say this. He said, the comment said, wait until he finds out that he's a mammal. Now that I wasn't aware.

Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. Right now, a massive moment. The People's Mascots. An idea. A boy had a dream. The idea, guys. Yeah. It is. Oh, here we go. What is it?

Our show, The Edge Arvos, is going to have a mascot. So you pitch different ideas. All these mascots that came down to the top three, the edge wedge, the edge hedge and the edgehog. And unfortunately, based on votes, we had to say goodbye to one of them. So it's between my mascot idea, which is the edgehog. And mine, the edge wedge, a potato wedge.

So guys, today we say goodbye to our beloved edge wedge. Oh, I'm sorry. So it came down to two. Steph, that wasn't very nice. Oh, it's harsh. The edge hedge hedge and the edgehog. The hedgehog? It's got to be the edge hog.

Oh, I said the edge hog. But unfortunately those vites weren't enough. The winner of the Edge Armos mascot, 2025, is coming above these ads. No, we've got to stop saying it. It's the Edge Hedge. And now that we had an idea, who was going to make it, listener Kelly came on board. I'm pretty sure I can. I've made one before.

And Kelly joins us in studio right now The list of behind this either amazing mascot Or terrible, truthfully we haven't seen it We're very excited Our hero Kelly, thank you so much For making our edge mascot dreams come true You're welcome

Was it hard? Not hard, just time consuming Yeah How much time? I don't know, probably like a week straight Wow Oh my God You're going to talk about payment or anything either

That's a lot of work And the crazy thing was that we said to our listeners were like, oh, if there's any mascot makers out there, like, please text in and help us. Then Kelly text in, and we were like, oh, yeah, that's cool. And we're like, oh, Kelly, just in case you just sent through, like, a photo of a mascot that you've made before. And you said that a seagull that you made for your kid's school,

and it was insane. Like, way better than we ever thought. And so we've trusted you, Kelly, through this process, not knowing you at all. So we're very excited to see this hedge. We're so excited. has come. A week of work has put into this. Dare I say, thousands of hours of brainpower to dream up the concept for the edge hedge mascot.

Let's bring it in. Bring it in the first time. Amazing mascot. So we're just talking, it's a boxy hedge, a lot of structure to it, big eyes, a big mouth, white gloves. Big shoes. Big shoes. Amazing. I can't see this thing.

It's got the white gloves and the googly eyes. Cute little smile, beautiful white pearly teeth there. My God, Kelly, you've absolutely. You've seen the vision and you've like gone a hundred with us. This is like, Kelly, no disrespect. This is way better than I thought it was going to be. It's incredible. Kelly, I'm going to cry.

Amazing. And if you would like to see the Edge Hedge, make sure you head over to the Edge Arvo's Instagram. Let's get this up instantly. You're going to want to see it. And I think this is a good time to make the announcement. The Edge Hedgehead. will be making its debut live in the flesh

later this week. Oh, it has too. The people need to see that. It's travelling down south first. It's first appearances. God, yes. Huge deal. Deneden and Vicargo, Queenstown. We are coming for you. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday with the Edge, Kelly. Thank you so much.

Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Someone who we work with has superpowers, guys. On Friday night, you might know that I have recently become a fan of the Warriors. After Wars.

I'm a bit of a bandwagon fan, but I'm really into it. I wanted to watch Friday night's game, so I invited a few people from work for a little watch party at my house. Harrison, you were there. Steph, you couldn't make it because you've got a child to look after. Hey, hey, hey, hide my, this is what happened. I said to Harrison on the way out because I lost my swipe card, so he needed to swipe me out.

I was like, what are you doing tonight? He's like, I'm actually going to Sean's house to watch the Warriors. This is Friday night. And I was like, interesting. And then I drove past Sean. who was walking in the car park after I talked to Harrison and I was like, have fun of the watching the Warriors with everyone tonight and then he goes, do you want to come?

That was the first invite I got. Is that how it worked out? No, but this is the thing with Steph, man. I should have invited you because I know how gutted you get when you're not invited but I just knew 100% you weren't going to come. It's not about that. It's about feeling included. All right, do you want to come to my lad tonight next way?

Yes. Can I say one thing, Steph? I thought it was a watch party. It was a pay. He was filming an ad. Yeah, I needed a watch party for an ad. and so he needed a crowd there. So we rocked up, camera in the face.

Can you say these lines and hold his product to the camera? That was exactly what I was. Yeah, I did it. He said, thanks, mate. I pitched a watch party to a brand and I needed to get friends there. Oh my God. Okay, anyway, who has the superpower? Okay, the super power is, welcome to the studio, everyone.

Intern, Lily. Oh, yeah. I wanted to say that I have superpowers. So Lily is a massive Warriors fan. She was more excited whenever the Warriors got close to scoring than anyone else at the watch party. There was a moment about... Sponsored watch party. Sponsed watch party.

Get me that brand deal, honestly. Everyone drink the UV up the wild can. So Lily, 15 minutes and the Warriors are down. It's not looking great for them. Lily, who's very, very excited, quickly pops off to the bathroom for a wee. While she's there, for one minute, the Warriors score a try. It's unbelievable. Everyone's like, Lily, you're missing it.

It's crazy. This is such a good moment. Can you hear the commotion while? Yes, and I'm like... Like midstream? Like trying to like get it all. I'd be like, holy shit, what I'd have missed. Yeah.

So Lily runs back out, oh, I've missed it. And then it gets tested again. Nothing's really happening the Warriors way. About 20 minutes past. Lily goes for another P. Oh, Lily, popped the seal. She's back on the hammer, yeah. I kid you not, as soon as she shuts the bathroom door, right, Harrison?

Yeah. Warriors score again. But it's like an amazing good luck charm. But again, I shan said it, I can't emphasize, Lily is like the biggest Warriors fan. So it's gutting. that you never get to see them score because they don't score a lot either.

I feel like though when I go there live I'm their good luck charm for winning so I feel like maybe I just have to be there. So haven't they lost the last three games you went to? No, they've won. Ah, you are. The last one, they did lose

but the last like four that I've been to one. What are the chances though of being in the toilet the two times that your favourite team scores? Like that's pretty crazy. And it's just as she closes the door, they score and then Lily rushes out the second time and we're like Lily go back in he's kicking the conversion

he missed the conversion while Lily was out watching. Isn't it crazy? Honestly it's crazy. And they're not even like cheering that they've scored they're like Lily and they've scored like they're happy that I'm in the bathroom they're like Lily get back in there we've got to win this game. Hey can I ask on 0800 the edge because Lily missed two iconic

tries on Friday night by the Warriors because she was in the toilet what did you miss because you were in the bathroom Oh, that's a great question. Oh, you would have missed, imagine missing like your best friend's proposal or something. It totally would have happened because sometimes when you're in like the heat of the moment, you're not counting everyone who's in the room, you're not making sure who's there. Yeah.

People must have bound to miss things in the toilet. Yeah. Okay, 3343 texts in as well. That's why they never really go to bathroom during our show because I'm always afraid that I'm going to miss the show. Well, sometimes you do honestly miss portions of it. I do miss portions of the show and that's what I miss. because sometimes I'm thinking about going to the bathroom. I'm a little bit like that with a movie.

I'm like, especially if I know there's a twist coming, I'll like, we'll just hold it, hold it, hold it. Because you don't want to miss that moment in the film. No. Totally. But what big life events have you missed? Because you were in the bathroom. They didn't wait for you.

Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. One of our crew members, intern Little Lil has superpowers. We found this out on Friday when I had a few people over to my house to watch the Warriors. Up the Wars. It took about 15 minutes for the Warriors to score, and that moment happened when Lily was in the bathroom. She went to pee, the Warriors scored.

We all made a scene out of it because we're like, Lily, you've missed it, this is crazy. Then I kid you not, she comes out, watches the game for the next half an hour, nothing happens, nothing happens, the Warriors get down again. Lily goes to pee for a second time, the Warriors score a second try. It's crazy. What, how long is a game, one hour and 20 minutes? They scored about two different times,

about two minutes of the whole time, and both times Lily was in the toilet. I think, here's my pitch. Let's get a two Eden Park when the All Blacks are playing in the Rugby World Cup and just get it to sit in the bathroom. Oh, yeah, that would be torture for poor Lily. Oh, Lee, Vils not happy about it. I'm sad.

That's not happening. No, can't leave that happen. Surprising with tickets and everything. Your seat's just back there in the Port-a-Looz. Give it the flag, the jersey. Hey, Lily, if you want your favourite team to win, would you do it? Would you do it for a win? Would you do it for the Warriors who's never won the whole...

They've never won before, right? The whole thing. Would you do it? Yeah, I'd do it for the country. We need to do this. We need to do this. We need to live in the bathroom. It's her superpower.

Oh, my God. So we want to know, we should totally make that happen, by the way. Work and progress. It'd be fun. What did you miss out on when you were in the bathroom? For Lily, it was the Warriors scoring tries. And for Digital Girl Clara, it was a bit of a... Not really that positive, was it?

No, I was a... Oh, sorry. Hello. I'm here. No, it was a bit of a debby downer, unfortunately. So I said a mate's wedding, and look, I need to wait. Drinks were flowing, and I decided, you know what, I'm just going to go for a cheeky number one. So I ran to the toilet.

It does take me quite a while. The queue was quite long. And come out, all of a sudden, music stopped. Music is stopped. People are running around. Someone's yelling like, call an ambulance, call an ambulance. Unfortunately, yeah, the grandmother had fallen down. She had, turns out, broken her hip.

and the wedding at that point it was done. I went home. Wait, they called off the wedding because of grandma hurt her. It was like near the end. It was just a bit of a vibe killer, to be honest. But I'm just a grandma to call the wedding off. No, I didn't call the wedding up. The wedding's like done.

It's just the reception. I told you about that. I told you about the 21st I DJ that was like this. And Nana had a fall. And then like the uncles and cousins were so drunk. And I stopped the music because I was DJing. And they were like, keep playing the music. I was like, no.

Nanna's on the ground. We're trying to call an ambulance. And they're like, oh, you can't play the music. And then cousin had to go at him. And then they started fighting. And there was a punch up between uncle and cousin while nana's on the floor. And I'm like, what is going on? It was the most Hamilton thing I've ever been a part of.

Did you end up, like, still playing? No, I was left. Yeah, good. But I charged them for the full night. Oh, 800 the edge. What did you miss because you were in the bathroom? Kristen, hi. What did you miss?

Hi-a-a-so this was Christmas a few years back I decided to go for a week because we'd had some drinks and lunch and all of that and my mum announced that she was pregnant with her sixth child and so Christmas life went on nothing ever got mentioned about it again and I didn't find out about the child until March when my sister was talking to me about it

and the baby was born in June so I only found out about it two months prior to a birth That's insane. I love the dynamic of your family that she announced this big thing and then no one mentioned it for the rest of the day. I guess it's number six. You missed it 30 seconds. Your number six is true.

Oh, you printed again, oh yeah? Had that before. Wow. That's good. It's insane. That's such a good story, Kristen. Thank you. It's amazing.

Yeah, you missed it. You're in the toilet. Okay, we'll tell me when I come out. Nah, you missed it. Nah, wait till March. Go on, mate. Your Arvohs Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

There's a video that's been going viral of the South Island of Altearoa of a Kia, who we all know Kea's like shiny things. They're known for stealing windscreen wipers and stealing coins and little things. This Kia basically goes up to a family who have a GoPro. They go, this is so cute. It grabs the GoPro while the GoPro's filming, and there's this great footage of this Kia stealing a family's GoPro. It's actually remarkable footage.

It's beautiful. The scenery, the bush. It's just fantastic. Now, what I must say about this video is I saw it popping up on TikTok today. it had like 16,000 likes or something. I was like, oh, this is doing the rounds. This is viral. This is great.

This must be the big news of the day. And I've just Googled it. It's a story from 2022. Steph. However. You were so excited when you came into that. You sent us all the video, made us watch it. It's from two years ago.

It's from February 2020, two years ago. Well, imagine how many things this Kia has stolen since then. Wow. I mean, the Kia joins us now on the phone. So I guess we should ask that Kia, what else it stole? Hello, Kea. Oh, good, guys. It's good to bring up our memories from the past.

Some highlights of my life, so I could have to rehash that. Thank you. So you stole a GoPro. This was a few years ago now, but obviously I've just seen it today. Where is it now? I can't remember quite a while ago. But I think I would have sold it. I usually, we usually sell those things, being in the team.

You and the team? How much did you sell it for? I honestly have no idea. That's not my job. Pigeon Poole's jobs. So Pigeon Paul will sell that. We've kind of got a whole, this bird kind of empire that we run in the native forest up in Wellington. So, yeah.

Wow. Okay. Like a criminal underground bird. That's not really underground because you fly. True. Above ground. An overground criminal organisation of Avery kind. Yeah.

What else do you guys do? We try and trash the hood of cower. and we're trying to get those extinct. We steal a lot of jewelry from tourists, and we are just kind of, we're trying to mess up a lot of the wildlife on the floor because it's all about us guys in the top, and that's what we want New Zealand to be Keir-Kha.

I think this is definitely maybe the silliest thing we've ever done. Oh no, we're talking to talk to Kia. It's made silly up by the fact that it's an outdated video, but Kia, is there anything else you've got to say for yourself, mate? How did you do this? You're just stealing electronics from hardworking Kiwis? I feel like it's just we get a really bad rap as being like the cute guys or the cheeky ones.

And I think you guys did lay off rehashing these old stories. And I think just everyone should go f*** themselves really. Okay, I'm wrapping it. I'm wrapping it. That was the interview with the Kia that stole the GoPro. In 2022. In 2020. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. The Edge of a fact tour. You got to give him that a fact. On Wednesday, we're going on a tour. A fact tour to try and find a fact tour. To try and find a five-star fact, this comes after I've been unsuccessful for about eight months. Harrison's theft, you gave me an ultimatum. By the end of the week, find a five-star fact, or the segment is gone.

You said I could have unlimited facts. You said I could have listener help. So that's what I'm doing. I'm hitting the roads. Yeah, exactly. So Wednesday, we're going to be in Dunedin. Thursday, Invercago, Queensland on Friday in the hopes that someone out there will provide the goods, will provide us with the fact that we deem, as your judging committee,

so good it's worthy of a fine. five-star rating. Now, because you have opened it up to the public as well, I'm allowed listener help, which I wasn't allowed for a while. Need it. Need it. I've got an incentive of a thousand-dollar prize for the best fact, which hopefully is a five-star fact, and we have the opportunity right now for someone to tell one on 0-800-the-edge.

Give us a call if you think you have an amazing fact in your backpocket, if you listen to the segment a bit and go, God, I wish Sean would just say this fact. This is the five-star fact. This is your moment. Oh, 800, the edge, $1,000. his cash on the line. So while we wait, can I just hit you with a fact? Yeah.

Do I call us, but you go do one? Okay. So, you know how I was watching The Lion King on the weekend? Which, by the way, the older you get, the sadder and more dramatic it is, both Jake and I look at each other, my partner, sobbing. Babies asleep. We don't even watching it with him. Anyway.

So you know when Simba grows up? And he goes from Little Simba to Big Simba in the Hakuna Matata song. Yeah. It means, no worries. Do you know, the male singer of man Simba is the lead singer of Toto, who sing Africa? What's the fact? That, that's the fact. That he also is in Toot.

Yeah. The character who plays Simba is also a singer in Toto. Yeah, the singer of Man Simba is the lead singer of Toto. Who sings Africa, which is an African animal, which is a lion, which is Simba. Ah, yeah, cool. tidbit. Okay, no. Steph, I thought it was a good fact.

I'm loving that you'll get to experience my shoes when I tell what I think is a good fact and get this reaction from you guys. Oh my God. How do you stand us, Sean? I like that because of the Africa Tyon. What is you rated, Sean? I give that a four. Oh, he's just greasy.

He's just greasy. He's absolutely greasing you up. That is not a four. Okay, well, let's go to Jenny on 0800 the edge. Jenny, we're looking for a five-star fact $1,000 on the line. We are looking for it between now and Friday. Hit in the roads. but Jenny, let's hear yours.

So when it rains, you know how the worms come up onto the surface? Yep. Do you know why they come onto the surface? Because they get washed up? No, not because they get washed up. The vibration of the rain makes them think that there's a predator, so they come up to try and protect themselves, but then they end up getting in trouble anyway because they're on the surface.

So they're kind of damned if they're. do and damned if they don't, you know? Oh, that's so sad. It's whether drown or drown. That's depressing as, Jenny. Yeah, I'm a bit of a different fact. Journey. Journey.

Oh, Jenny, I love that fact. It's a good fact. We haven't had a worm fact yet. We haven't, Jenny. Oh, no. All right, out of five stars, the rating system is we're looking for originality, shareability and performance. I would say that has performed very well.

Very well, Jenny. Very well. You knew it. Original as, I'd never heard that. Nah. Except it's giving me a bit of a sad feeling. That is a bit sad. Jeannie,

from me, there's three of the judges, but from me, it's a four. That's high. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

Jenny, it's good fact. I'll probably share this fact. I'm going to give you 3.8. Well, that's good. Okay. It's the best one today. And producer nurse Sam, the Simon Cow of the judges.

I'm going to give it a 3.5. Oh, that's high. It's all right, Jen is. I take it. Well, it hasn't saved the segment, Jenny, but, of course, you are in the running for that $1,000 cash, the highest rate of fact at the end of the week. We'll win a thousand bucks.

So thanks so much, Jenny. Appreciate it. Oh, no way. Nice, Jen, Duke. Your Arvose Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, you want to see Nets Sky. We have tickets to give away all week to his Black Box 2.0 tour.

It's hitting Trust Arena in September this year. 0,800 the edge if you would like to play and win. Jonathan from Auckland is here. Hey, do we call you John, Johnny, J-boy, Johnny? Johnno's all good. John-O. John-oh. Oh, oh, John-O.

John-O. John-O, are you ready to find out what's in Desplate Box? I think I am, yeah. All right, John, here are the rules. I'm going to read out some clues as to what's in my black box. and after each clue is delivered, you're allowed to have a guess at what object I am talking about. Now, all these clues are a little bit innuendo,

so we'll see what answers you come up with, keeping it PG. But, Sean, could you just hand me the box, please? Yeah, no, all right. Sorry, I put it by Harrison. Harrison, can you hand me that box, please? Nope, it's not there. Where is that? Oh, no, it is by me, sorry. Oh, yeah. Oh, there you go, Steph.

Oh, yeah. Awesome. There you go. All right, so obviously it is the Black Box 2.02, Steph, look, in the black box. Now, do you want to give a clue to Jono? I need to open it first. Okay. Okay, open that up. Amazing. It's a magical box. Oh, I like what I see.

Okay. It's deep. All right, Jono. Your first clue is, I love it when you touch me. A teddy bear? No. It's not a teddy bear. Not a teddy bear. Not a teddy bear. All right, another clue. I light up when you turn me on.

A torch? No. Oh, that's a good guess. Can that fit in your box? Not a torch. It depends on the size of the torch, I guess. All right, clue number three to win a double pass to net sky. You can't stop staring at me even in bed.

I'm going to go at TV. No. I reckon that could fit in your box, though. Potentially. But I guess it's the right vein, I think you're right with the electronics thing. I saw a few veins. All right, John O. I make you feel connected, even though using me is normally a solo activity.

I'm going to go a phone. Phone. Is it a phone in the black box? There's a phone in my black box. You are going to next guy. Congratulations, brother. It's amazing. Thank you guys so much. Another chance to play tomorrow.

Your Arvos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. It is The Edge. Sean, Steph and Harrison. What happens, Steph, at the supermarket today? Oh, I did something when I was at the supermarket that even I can, like, have good self-awareness to know that it was unhinged.

It's a big call to say unhinged. Yeah, it was nuts. It was, I caught myself doing it, and I was like, Steph, you've got a problem. Oh, predictions. Were you walking around with your cell phone playing music without headphones? Because that's unhinged, and I've seen that a lot at the supermarkets. No, but there is a woman that does that. in my neighbourhood and she listens so loudly to Chinese

bonka. It's so loud. It's like we need to really explain to you what a headphone is. I reckon you were drooling in the supermarket. You're stuck on the Whitaker's Isle. You're stuck in the Whitaker's Isle and you're drooling. You go that, Steph, pull yourself together. That's what I think.

And then a child slipped in it and they needed to put one of those signs out that said caution, wet floor. And then you thought, I'm unhinged. I've gone too far. No, but I did end up buying some beautiful ginger kisses. It's a pack of six and I had five of them for breakfast. God. Which was unhinged?

Five for breakfast. That is unhinged. That's it actually. That's probably the unhinged thing. No. No, that wasn't it. It was more crazy than that. Tell you what.

Get this. Here I am. Stephanie Ann Monks. He's probably been inside a supermarket in her lifetime. 33. Poor. A thousand times. I went through the supermarket.

front flappy bits through the fruit and veg department and then I tailed it all the way to the back corner

and did the supermarket backwards wow why that would it's just a waste of time

so you did the fruit and veg last I challenged myself can I can I do the supermarket

in the reverse order than everyone else and I can and it was so fun just to mix it up because it's

normally like fruit and vigil, oh, this, this, and then you're like, oh, okay. No, that's so annoying. As someone who worked at a supermarket for four years growing up, there's a reason we, it's trolleys, you want to operate in this, everyone goes the same way. You're pushing against the flow. You're this fish that's swimming against the school of fat. It's annoying for everyone. Yep.

Challenge accepted. Challenge completed. Now, do you know the best part of it, though, is, because this is the most horrible part about packing bags of the supermarket or whatever, you always have to put the vets on top because it's so sensitive. Yep. But it's the first thing that goes in the trolley. That's a good point, actually.

So I kind of get you. Do you know what it's at the bottom? or the heavy stuff, like your milks and your butters and your creams and your meats. That could be at the bottom and then as you go around. Creams you buy them, any is plural. I just want one cream, just one bag, yeah, creams. So let this be a listen to you. Alter, mix it up.

Try something new. Be adventurous next time you go to the supermarket. It's fun. God. Now is the highlight of my weekend. Busy weekends. A lot of time in your hands. with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

This Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, we are on the Java's Fat Tour. You gotta give him that a fact. We're heading down south, Dunedin on Wednesday, heading to Invercargo on Thursday, and Queensland, the Adventure Capital of New Zealand on Friday, searching for a five-star fact. And while we are down in Queensland, we are going to be getting up to a whole lot of great things, all thanks to Thunderdunk, which is everyone's favourite new drink.

Harrison, you've made a few of the Thunderdunks. What's your favourite flavour? The spice maple, smoking maple. It's delicious. No word of a law, I'm going to go home on the way home and get a bottle of it. It's very good, very good. So I guess we are going to the adventure capital of the world, right?

So it'd be rude not to, cheers to Thunderdog, to do some adventurous stuff. Like, what's in the itinerary, Sean? Well, they've teed us up with the flyover jet, which I've always wanted to do. Shot over jet, sorry, shot over jet. I'm confused because we're doing something called Eyefly as well, which is like a skydiver.

indoor skydiving one. Oh, I've always done to do that, the big fan. It's so fine. Oh, my God. Indoor skydiving. I did it once before, like, when I was a kid. And, oh, it was... Because it's like, you were skydiving without the, like, fear of dying.

That's great. So good. That's my least favorite part of skydiving. Exactly. It's the fear of death. Yeah. The shot over jet. And, of course, we will be doing the show live from Walter's Tavern on Friday afternoon.

So come down. Have a baby boss. Have a thunder knock. Yeah. Have a few of you, like, responsibly. Yes. Yes, responsibly, yes, absolutely. And hang out, and if you've got any other adventure things,

maybe you're a local to Queenstown, and you're from Wonachar, you go down there, anything else you'd like us to try, get kind of a video vlog, if it will be videoing the whole things and trying to get facts in all these different moments, then text them through. I know people go crazy with the food in Queensland.

I love to eat, I love food, and I, if we've got time, I'd love to swing by the Spate Zale House because fantastic seafood charter there. And a great chicken parcel. Oh, great chicken parcel. That sounds nice. Cream cheese, apricot chicken.

Okay, well, we'll have to go there. Spate's El House. We will be there for lunch. No, this is crazy. Of all the, like, Queensland's known as the restaurant capital of New Zealand. There's so many good restaurants. Every single time it comes up, Steph says the best seafood chowder she's ever had in her life is at Spate's Aourhouse, which is a chain. They exist all over the balls.

Wow, it's good, sure. But only, we can do that only if we get to go to night and day and get a lasagna to die for. Once again, you can get one of those two minutes down the road. They're good. They're good. No. But I thought we're in Queensland. Can we go to Wanaka New World?

Because there's a chocolate primo there that I'm dying to try. And I want to get a McFlurry as well. Okay. Good idea. We're heading there. All thanks to Thunderdong, New Zealand-flavored whiskey. Ride the Thunder. Chase the Storm.

Shout it to Thunderdong right now. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, I hope you enjoyed the podcast. The podcast outro today. I turned the mics on a little bit late. But this is a moment that happened off here during the show when Harrison was trying to figure out what crow's feet were

and was saying that it was when your toes point inwards. And go. That's not what crows feet is. That's pigeon-toed. Oh, it's a bird? Bird feet? Bird feet. Crow's feet is something else.

Oh, this, ghost feet. Your toes are too far apart. No, I think that's like webbed toes. They're crunched. Nope. Nothing to do with your toes. Crow's feet. In fact, kind of.

the opposite end of the body. Really? When you... No, that's when you hear, like, triangles at the front? What? Your hair triangles? No, when you're the opposite end of the body? Well, what the opposite end of the body be?

Your head? Yeah, right, yeah. Yeah, but I presume it's... No, I feel like it might be. When you hear triangles of the front. I don't understand what you're saying. What's triangles? You mean like when it gets the receding headline?

Oh. Sorry, I don't know that Like, I guess of that? Nah, that's not what a crow's feet is. I'll give you a hat. Huh? Oh, your eyes, you smile, your smile lines. Smile line!

Oie, widow's peak. Widows peak, that's it. You know, widows peak. Yeah, I've got one myself. I'm gutted. I call it the McDonald's M. Ah, the Maconacazam, yeah. Oh, you're funny.

Is it actually crow's feet? Crows feet. Crows feet, wrinkly, wrinkly eyes. I've got them. Don't pull your eyes back. I've got gross feet. Anyway, that's good. I hope you enjoy the podcast today.

And tune in tomorrow for more of us and whether we make it back on here today because these guys are at a Forrest Gump impersonation which I still don't think you can get past. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
