Bring on baby number two. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. We are live from Invercago for the fact tour. The Edge Avvo's Fact Tour.

You got to give him that a fact. So I do a segment on the show called The Five Star Fact and after about 150 facts I was unable to get a five-star. Harrison and Steph have held me hostage and going, you know what? You got until Friday to get a five-star factor. It's done. Yeah. So that's why we have headed around the country. We're in

in Vicaragal right now hearing facts from the people. We also have $1,000 to someone who can impress us the most with their fact who ends up getting a full five-star rating. It's going to be a beautiful thing when it happens. It hasn't quite happened yet. But who's full from the pies that we heard for lunche?

I'm so full. Fat Bastas pies. I'm iconic pie shop. It's from here in a vicargo. But yeah, I'm full for the pies, but as I also had a delicacy, a cheese roll. Oh, be rude not to. Did you?

Where'd you get that from? They did more than just pies. Yum. But there was an onion in it and dairy. I didn't think that the cheese roll would be onions and cheese. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You didn't think a cheese roll would have dairy in it? No, I didn't really think about it.

Did the word cheese not give that away? Not really. And then I'm also alluded to the onion. So it was just a rare. My guts and. not feeling good. This is day three of Harrison being like, I have just eaten some things I'm deathly allergic to it. I feel terrible.

It's tough. Like yesterday we were at Castle Street in Dunedin and one of the lovely girls from the juice box flat. Shout out, gave us all teas and poor Harrison felt so rude for not drinking the tea with milk in it and so you downed it. And how is your guts after that one? I haven't crept, so not good.

Harrison I was sharing a room and he opted to go into another one because he was so worried. Just a push all night and nothing. Who's going to tell Sean, that's not why Harrison opt-led out of shit. Yeah, with Sean. Sure, Sean, that's what we want to believe, mate. We're getting some great facts, though, when we were at Fat Baster Pires earlier.

Here's one from Mel. Scotland has 421 ways to say the word snow. That's pretty good. What? Wait, really? Yeah, I didn't know how, I tried to test her like, what are they? And she didn't know. Snow.

Snow. Smell. I thought that's pretty good. Here's one. from Beck's a great fact. A chameleon's tongue is longer than its body. It's a good fact. Oh, really?

That's good. That's crazy. Where are we at with the ban on animal facts? Poor. See, but when a good animal fact comes through, it's got really good. That confuses me. I know. I know. All right, let's check out Hannah's fact about the sky. The sky's not actually blue, but the sunlight has many different colors in it when it hits

out atmosphere gives the hue of blue. Uh, miss. Yeah, science confuses us. But I think it's a good fact. That's a weird one though. It's like the sky's not blue. It's just light bouncing off things. It's like yeah, but that's anything, isn't it?

Which makes it blue. Yeah, which makes it blue. It's everything. Grass is green. It's just light reflecting green back to you. Well, hey, if you are in Invercargo right now and you're desperate to give us a fact to get in the draw to win this $1,000. And you just happen to be driving past the Langland Hotel on the Main Street. Then just pull over.

Come see us and tell us your fact and get into the mix of things. We've also got a delightful little cheese. platter in front of us. That Harrison, don't even think about it, okay? I've already had some. Thank you, Puckoo. Harrison had no idea I had cheese in it, Steph. Yeah, God.

You're avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. We are live from Invercargo today. We were in Dunedin today. We're in Queensland tomorrow for the fact tour. The Ajabas Fact Tour. Spitting facts. We're trying to find the best fact in New Zealand. A five-star fact that will not only save my five-star fact segment,

but also be worthy of a thousand dollars prize money. that we have to give away. Yeah, and right now we are in Bacagel on our fact tour, hearing facts from the people, and we are broadcasting live from the Langlands Hotel, the lobby, is just beautiful. And can we just say a quick happy birthday to the lovely Langlands, turning three years old guys.

Oh, happy birthday, happy birthday. What a journey for the Langlands. You can follow them on Facebook or visit the langlands.com. And the lovely Deanna, who works nearby at shout out, Southland Business Chamber. Whoop, whoop, whoop. Hi, everybody listening. They all listen at your work, Deanna, to the edge.

Yes, today we are. Oh, tell us some work, gossip. Rag on some of your work, mates, live on the radio. Oh, do it. Ask for a pay rise, live on here. I will not name drop anything there. Okay, but what we do need from you, Deanna, is a fact. You give us a good fact, and you're in the running to win a thousand dollars.

It is impossible to hum while holding your nose. Harrison, give it a go. He is, he's giving... Oh, my God. Can you not do it? Wow, that is you really hard. Oh my God. That's a good fact.

That's incredible. It's not great radio. Just can't hear it, but it does work. That's a great fact. Everyone can try it right now in their cars. Everyone try it in your car, unless you need two hands on the serial. Try it to pass out. You do feel a bit like.

You hit it out on the loose. Pull over to the side of the road and then try it. Deanna, great fact. Great fact. We're hearing all the facts from the people in the finalist. be unveiled on Monday. So best of luck, Deanna. And shout out South and Business Chamber. And what were you saying about Kate from South and Business Chamber

off here, Deanna? No, no. Bit of an office. A bit of an office mattress did you say? That's a lucky guess. It's a lucky guess with the name of Kate. There's a... What do you say? Is there a Kate there? God, I'm good. Look out, Kate. She's spreading some wild gossip around over a cargle. The uncommon name of Kate. Yeah, it happens to work there.

Now, guys, I have a bone to pick with one of you. actually. Bye, Deana. Bye Deanna. Sean Harrison. I've heard a lot of chat about a certain movie on Netflix. It's a month old now called K-pop Demon Hunters. Oh, yeah. Just my favorite movie of the year. Right. So I downloaded it to watch on the plane from Auckland down south and I unfortunately decided that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was more my style.

So for the flight journey back here. But last night we were staying in Dunedin. And I decided to just stay and have a quiet night in and watch them to me entertainment. And so I put on K-pop Demon Hunters. Thank you. I've been begging you to watch this for honestly weeks, if not months. I gave up after five minutes. I don't want to do this bit next bit.

I gave up. Why did you give up? It wasn't realistic. It's an animated film that K-pop demon hunters. No, okay, okay, let's forget about the animation. Yeah. But there is a scene, and this isn't a spoiler because it's just, it's so stupid. There's a scene of them, there's like a girl group, three of them, and a plane,

and the wing of the plane snaps off. The front of the plane goes missing. I don't want to reveal how, but like the plane is destroyed in the air. It's still flying. They jump from the plane. That's still miraculously flying through the sky with no wings. It's a cartoon, so. They miraculously land in the stadium on the stage perfectly

where they're supposed to be scheduled for a performance. This is the opening sequence of the film. Yeah. It was just like, what am I watching? Like, this is so unrealistic. The only frustrates me the most is that your favourite movie for all time is Frozen 2. Arguably, one of the least successful, most horrible animated films of all time. Can I jump in here?

What are you talking about? You did go on about Frozen 2 a lot, and Harrison and I watched the entire thing, and we pained through it, and we both hated it. Yeah, the beautiful story between two sisters and trying to find where they're from. Talking about unrealistic, right? Okay, you've given his movie. You've given his movie five minutes.

Capeot Demon Hunters is the most usual. I was just because at least I had the respect to tell Harrison that I'm never going to watch it because it sounds bad. You said you would and then you didn't do it. No, I gave it a go and I just can't get over a plane not plummeting down to the earth with no wing. Why are you being so picky? It's not realistic, Harrison, and I think you should grow up. Oh my gosh.

It's serious. It's the most watched movie on Netflix of all. all time. Is it really? Literally, look it out, it literally is. It's broken records. We play the music on the edge. It's such an amazing music.

Yeah, give me $5,000,000 a thousand bucks. I deserve it. Go watch the movie, everybody. People love this movie. It's a great movie. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. And we are live from the Langlands Hotel in Invercargle for the Facts Tour,

$1,000 to give away for the best facts. The Edge Arvo's Fact Tour. You gotta give him that a fact. We got some great facts today, actually. We're handing up pies at Fat Baster Pies earlier. This is a fact that Tim gave us. So for every 40 people in Japan, there's one vending machine. It's a good fact, right?

It's a good fact. Shout out Corey, because we're taking, you know, your calls, your text throughout the entire show as well, if you're not in Invers, obviously, with your facts. And Corey says, did you know there are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way galaxy? Really?

Well, according to Corey. I reckon no. Well, but you get over with the galaxy is infinite. No, the galaxy is not infinite. Yes, it is. Stars are in space. Galaxy is the same thing. Galaxy is definitely not infinite.

It's because there's heaps of galaxies. No, galaxy is space. But space is infinite. But galaxies are inside of space. No, it's like the Milky Way. We're in a galaxy. Yeah. I think we should delete that.

Fact, sorry. You know how there's like, it was eight or nine planets? You know the planets? Yeah, nine of there's trillions, if not Googles of planets. Yeah, but in our solar system. Yeah. There are nine planets. Well, Pluto, eight, nine.

Where are we out with Pluto these days? I don't know. I think Pluto, that's why I'm saying eight or nine. Yeah, eight or nine. Because Pluto got, yeah, kind of canceled. Pluto got cancelled because Pluto was a bit handsy with Venus. I think that you guys just know too much, actually. Just the amount of facts that people like Google and go, this is a fact,

the amount of times Harrison goes false. False. It's kind of crazy. A lot of them do feel false. Now, something that we're not sure, we're not sure if this is a true fact or not, but does the egg it exist? Now this came up in conversation this morning over a delightful little eggy breakfast in Denny Don.

And we went around the room and we realized that it could be like a boy thing or a girl thing where the girls in the group, myself, Digital Girl Clara and our lovely Jamie, who's on tour with us, we all related to the fact that some days the thought of an egg completely aches you out. Like an egg for breakfast is the most revolting thought that can pop up into your brain.

Whereas other days, it's all you want. It's all you crave. Oh my God, give me the egg right now. Make it poach. Make it as running as possible. It's going to be the most loveliest experience. Well, we think it's a gender thing because one of you was like, I've got the egg act today. The other's like, oh, I get what you mean?

Me and Harrison, like, oh. You guys have never heard about it. And it may be a coincidence that the two guys don't have egg aches. But you all three of your girls like, oh, yeah, definitely. Like, what's up with that? Yeah. What is up with that? I don't know.

I don't know. It's a thing. egg, it's egg, just eat it. So it's your girlfriend, Sarah Harrison. She gets the eggick. She gets the eggick too. And like to all the women, just the ones that I know of, I'm just like, grow up a bit. Yeah.

No, but it is though. Like, not eggs on that. It scares me. That's what Jamie was saying. She goes, oh, it scares me today. Yeah. It scares you to have eggs on toast. It's totally a thing.

Some days it just is the, like, it just aches you. I've got the egg. Yeah. It's a thing. It was crazy. Nah. Eggs are just delicious. Eggs are good all the time.

Text in right now, 3343, however you identify. Everybody texting, do you ever get the air gig? I genuinely want to know. I want to know, like... Is it a boy thing? Is it a girl thing? Yeah. We haven't got much more to talk about it. It was just quite a shocking thing.

This is that. This is random. This is what we're going to talk about for the next hour. Yeah, yeah. Talk back. Oh, 100th edge. What's your favourite way to do? It's just the big issues this afternoon.

Your Arvos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. live from the Langlands Hotel here in Invercargill for the fact tour. The Ajava's Fact Tour. Spinning facts. So bad name. In an attempt to save the five-star fact segment I have until the end of this week to get a five-star fact, we have come to Dunedin, Invercargill today and Queensland tomorrow to try and

find a five-star fact. We've literally talked to hundreds and hundreds of people over the last few days. We've got so many facts. Quite a few repeats. Yep, yeah, quite a few. Now, a five-star fact is very hard to get. I mean, it's the thing that Sean, you've tried to get since January unsuccessfully.

And it's a fact that so mind-blowing, so shareable, so original, so well-performed that it is worthy of a five-star rating. Now, we're on the journey, and today in Invercago, we are at the lovely hotel that is the Langland Hotel, parked up in the lobby. So if you're in Invers, come on, swing by, tell us a fact. And if you are deserving of a five-star fact, you could be in with some money, honey. A thousand dollars is up for grabs. So get your name in the mix for that.

And we have the wonderful Emily who's just turned up. Hi Emily. Hi. How old are you? 12. And you've got a fact for everybody? Yes. Okay, we're ready.

Do you guys drink Instant Coffee? I do actually. I drink it every day. No, and I make fun of people who do. I do. I love it. I'm better than them. Typical.

Well, Instant Coffee was actually made an invicago by a guy called David. And there's like a, my... mural out and it's like a picture of his cat painted by somebody. Oh, Oh, instant coffee invented in invoccal. I actually didn't know that. Why is there a mural of his cat?

I don't know. I don't know either. That is what's his cat named coffee or what's up with that? I thought it was going to be a coffee mural. Looks to mum. Oh, her mum's got a picture of it. Oh, that is crazy. That is cool.

The cat's ginger as well, Harrison. Any more points for that? Oi, looks like me. And do you know I asked Emily, I was like, have you been on radio before? What did you say? Yes, that Harrison's a bit of poem about me. Do you guys remember this? I do remember you, Emily.

You're the dancer. Yes. What? Months ago, on a Friday, we were giving out speeches, eh? And Harrison was giving people who called in an impromptu speech, and Emily, you were a caller. Yeah. Oh, good times.

Now, I can see your mum over there, Emily, holding a trophy. Is that your trophy? Yes. It's my singing trophy. So you're a dancer and a singer. Oh my God. You win it today? No, we're just getting it in grave.

Oh, you're getting in grave. You just bowl around with it to kind of flex on people. Yes, like Emily. That's a great move. What song did you sing to get that trophy? Norty from Matilda the musical. An amazing song. Please.

Please do it for us, Emily. Please. Don't make Emily sing. We're at a hotel lobby. It's a lot of pleasure. Can you just sing the line? What is it? A little bit naughty.

Just do that. Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty. Oh, amazing. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The Edge of us fact tour. Spinning facts. So bad name.

We've heard the Southland, the Great South, the Deep South. Dunedin, Southland, and then going to Queenstown tomorrow to try and find a five-star fact. Yeah, we're at the Langlands Hotel here in Invercago, We're broadcasting live. So if you are in the area, swing on by, give us a fact, and we will put you in the mix to win a thousand dollars. And we have been very well looked after here at the Langland Hotel Lobby. We've had cheese, not you Harrison, because look after your gut. I have had cheese.

No, look after your gut. We've got olives. We've got, now my favourite thing, lunch and sausage, which is a genuine thing. It's my favourite thing. Here's a fun fact. When Steph was a child, her mum threw away lunch and sausage because it was expired, and then she caught childhood Steph digging around in the bin outside for it later. It was so expired.

It was so delicious. And who do we have here who works at the Langland? Ella. Ella, welcome, welcome. Now Ella, do you have a fact for us? I do have a fact. This is when my girlies out there that just don't know and there are still girls that don't know. All right, so I only found this out when I was 16 and blew my mind.

There are still girls that don't know at my age at 21 that don't know. I know a 40-year-old that doesn't know this. I had to tell her. All right, did you know, you can pee ladies with a tampon in. You do not have to take the tampon out. Oh, great. There are three holes. Wow, I didn't know that.

This is a great fact, Ella, educational. There are three holes. Three, that's a lot. Yes. Sean. Also, it doesn't even go past the tampon then. No. You don't have to take the tampon out.

Wow. This is good. This is, we've always. We're all, I mean, the boys are learning stuff today. The girls are there hopefully learning stuff today. This is a great fact, Ella. Now, marking, in terms of five-star fact marking, we're not going to be doing it on the spot.

We're going to be waiting until Monday revealing our finalists. But, Ella, fantastic job. That will be getting a high mark, won't it? Truly, truly, well done. Now, do we have any other lovely people from the Langland who wants to give a fact? Or are you the only brave one? I was the only brave one, unfortunately.

Oh, come on. Well, we were parked up at Fat Bastard Pies earlier. What's your favourite fat bastard pie, Ella? Oh, just a mince and cheese. Classic there. So good, eh. That was so good. We got a whole bunch of facts from people.

Here's one that we got from Kelly. A giraffe is 30 times more likely to get struck by lightning than people. A giraffe is 30 times more likely. Three times. Oh, okay. Less impressive. To be stuck by lighting. That makes sense.

I don't know. 30, God, rate at high. Three. Nah. All right. Here's a fact from Ben. Did you know there's more? more planes in the ocean than boats in the sky.

I thought that was funny. There's more planes in the ocean than boats in the sky. There's more planes in the ocean. I think that's a joke. Oh, yeah. No, we don't want a riddle. We want a riddle. We don't do a riddle.

It's not five-star riddle. We're taking this very seriously. I'm going to make the call. Disqualify. Here's Beth's fact. Marilyn Monroe had a higher IQ than Albert Einstein. Oh, what? Okay, that's a myth.

I don't know how they knew that. Yeah, that doesn't seem plausible. Yeah, like nowadays the online IQ test feel a bit shady. I don't know what they were doing back in the like the Wednesday. When was Einstein alive? I think it's a bit Mandela thing though because I think he was around in like the early 90s. Was he? Einstein, yeah.

What was he was alive on the 1800s? No, no, it's early 90s is when he passed away. It's like Mandela. Same thing. In the 90s? Early 90s, Albert Einstein was really. Einstein died and the spy skills were like banging out churns. Yeah.

It can't be true. What about Mandela? On the same day as Mandela? Mandela was like 2014 or something. He was real late. Yeah, yeah. Wait, wait. What do you mean?

The Mandela effect. Albert Einstein and Nelson Mandela were alive at the same time. Yes. Huh? No, Einstein died in the 50s, bro. This is why we are going to the people for our facts, okay? Noravos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

The Adjava's Fat Tour. Spinning facts. No bad name. We're trying to find the best fact in New Zealand to save the five-star fact segment and get you $1,000, $1,000 prize for the best fact. In Dunedia News today, Invercago today and in Queensland tomorrow. We had a bit of time before the show. We went to Fat Bastard Pies, a great bakery in Invercogel. Harrison, you've got a tie there.

I got what? You got ties with Fat Bastard Pies. You've got to sent some. Oh, yeah, yeah, I've sent some. And then I hooked us up to go down and give away 100 free pies today. They were so good. But then after that, we had about an hour instead. If goes, don't worry guys, I know Invercargo.

Yeah, so last time I was in the beautiful Invers, I experienced something I'd never experienced before. It was like a five-story high op shop, basically. It's called Hubbard's Emporium, and everyone invicago knows exactly what it is. It's been around forever. And so I was like, boys, we've got to go see the Emporium. So we venture on down. It's just on the main road, and we arrive at the door.

And you know how, like, most stores would have operating hours on the window. it would be like open Monday to Friday, there'd be a sign. It's like 9 to 5, Saturday, 10 to 10, whatever, right? Their opening hour sign, I took a photo of it, it says this. Open most days, about 9 or 10, occasionally as early as 7, but some days as late as 12 or 1. We close about 5.30 or 6, but sometimes as late as 11 or 12. And then it continues. Some days or afternoons, we aren't here at all.

Lately, I've been here just about all the time, except when I've been. someplace else, but I should be here then too. It's very confusing. It's a pain in the ass. Very confusing. It's almost worth not listing it. It's very confusing. And so we arrive, unsure if it's open or not, obviously.

No idea. And the lights are off. And so I'm like, damn, they look close. And just as we're pressing our little faces against the glass, looking through it, all the beautiful old crap that's inside, God, I was excited to get in the shop. There's a man that's coming towards the door from the inside. And I'm like, oh my God, he's open.

up it for us. We get to go win. I'm so happy. And he was like, nah, closing up. And we're like, please, can we please, can we have a look at your Emporium?

It's just the greatest thing in invoccal, please. He's like, nah, put the alarm on, we're leaving. He's like, come back on Saturday.

We're not going to be here on Saturday? Oh, I'm so gutted, guys, that you guys miss the Emporium because it is someplace special, truly. It is an amazing place. It is worth us coming back

just to go to the Emporium. I do think so as well. But also, everything looks so antique I don't think anything's for sale. It's one of those places that you're like, oh, how much is this? And you ask a guy, and he's like, not for sale.

He's just like a hoarder. So it's a five-story shop that's never open and nothing's for sale. I think it's like a museum. It's the most amazing place. Slash his house. Seems like a thriving business. Everyone who ever comes to Southland has to go to

if it's open. Hubbors and Porium, if it's open. You got no money? Don't worry about it. It's no good here. Just show up any time between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. Who knows?

But you probably have to keep coming back to make sure it. Yeah, yeah, all right. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. Live from Invercago today, the Langlands Hotel Lobby, come down and say hi. Give us a fact for the fact tour. The Edge Arvo's Fact Tour. You gotta give him that a fact. We're trying to find a five-star fact.

We've got $1,000 to give away to the best fact we find, and we were parked up outside fat bastard pies earlier today, 100 pies to give away, and 100 facts to receive. And here's one of the ones we got, which I thought was quite interesting. I hadn't said this one on here before. There are more men than women in the world. More men than women in the world. Which is it surprised me.

Yeah. Because I reckon men do more stupid things. So I'd assume they'd be more likely to die doing things. I think it's disgusting. I think it's disgusting. I think it's sexist. I think she was very sexist. She'd be even as.

It's very quiet even. How do they even work that out? Because it's like always changing, isn't it? Yeah, I don't know. There's a hundred babies born every second. Do you know that? It's a fine. That's a great fact, Harrison.

Must have been. Hey, there's a really good fact, actually. I wouldn't trust him. He just said Ironslam was born in the 90s. That's a great point. Died in the 90s. Hey, can we do, we are in Invercargo. We're collecting facts from the people.

Come on down, Langland Hotel. We're here until 7 o'clock. And we have just received letters from the wonderful Ruby and Louis. Ruby, how old are you? Louis's four. 12. Ruby's 12. Louis drew us pictures, four years old and wrote us a letter.

This is me and him on a jaundie attractor. What does your letter say? It says to Sean. This is a John Deer tractor. You're beside me and I'm driving. Honestly, Louie, you and I got a tractor, mate. I'd probably be behind the wheel, I reckon, just for safety reasons. Thank you for being on the radiator station from Louis.

That's good. That's a little tractor reference, I think. Louis, I'm going to cry. You're the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. Oh, my God. Can I read out my letter? Yep. So my picture that Louis drew for me is a picture of me holding a baby.

Oh. And it says two step. This is translated by This is you holding Rocco He's your baby Thank you for doing the guessing game From Louis The guessing game

Easy money Chance to win 10 grand at 3 o'clock every day It's fantastic stuff Louis And you wouldn't believe it I've got a photo of me and Louie And a tractor Really? I thought the trucker is unique to me You also wearing a tractor hoodie

The absolute legend and future tractor driver extraordinaire, I believe in you, Louis. Your Arvos, Hit Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. We're looking for the best fact in New Zealand. Yeah, and we have Calvin here at the lovely Langlam Hotel Lobby. Calvin, our last guest, drew us a picture and gave us a letter. What are you got for us? I've got a fact about water. Oh, okay.

Is that coming after the picture? I can draw you a picture. Okay, I've got to go. Okay. All right, Calvin. Hit us with your fact. So water is actually not wet. No, I've heard this.

People say this, it's not wet. Yeah, it's more of a riddle, Calvin. No, no. Let them explain. I've felt water. Let him explain. So scientists actually define wetness as a liquid's ability to maintain contact. so meaning that water itself is actually not wet.

So Calvin, what you're saying is an object can become wet when water's on it. But water itself, the actual property of water, is not wet. Correct. Because it's a liquid. That's right. See, this has blown my mind. It's making me think. Yeah.

No, I don't get it. It's like mine can't comprehend it just yet, but I like the... What do you mean you don't get it? You can get that. No, I just feel like it's a bit of a riddle. It's like a, oh, oh, do you get this? No, it's science. It's fact.

But it is wet. Things can become wet when water's on it, but the actual water can't be wet. Because in its nature, it's not wet. It can't become wet because it's always water. No, Calvin, I'm picking up what you're laying down. We're on the same wavelength. What's your job, Calvin? Sales.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, God. You're selling me, Calvin. Yeah, yeah, you're a good salesman. What do you sell, Calvin? What are they? Fasteners. screws are nuts.

Screws and nuts? Yeah, sack, man. I'll buy something. Let's have a chat afterwards. Convincing guy. Your Avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

The Edge Avvo's Fact Tour. Spinning facts. Oh, that thing. Topical reference with the Hawk Tour lady who was massive on the internet roughly 12 months ago. It's been such a blasts tour. Queenstown tomorrow. But Langland Hotel right now in Invers,

if you are in the area, swing on by. Come and say good-day. We've got some cheese and some bestri. Yeah, Harrison's order us a platter of cold cuts. A hummus. And can I be honest, you guys haven't touched it. I have. You've had about five bits of bread and seven pieces of luncheon.

All the luncheon's gone. But these dips, just everything are cheese. You guys haven't, why are you eating it? I am. I have, man. I've had two crackers. You have not had two crackers. Oh, what have I had then?

You've had more than two crackers. Cheers, Steph. Okay. Cheers for that. Anyway, we stayed at a hotel last night, and you two, you two reckon, You've had a few hotel horror stories. Well, okay, I'll let Harrison go first, because mine is maybe just in my head.

Yeah, mine was weird because I got, so I got into my hotel room, went to the kitchen. On that bench, pub. Black pub on the kitchen bench. Now, how do we know that it's a pub and not just like someone's hair? You can tell it. You can tell it's a pub by the length and the curl. Was it thick? Yep.

Did it have a white bit at the end? Oh, I didn't get my magnifying glass out. there, Steph, so I'm not sure. Probably. Like the follicle? The follicle bit? Maybe. Okay. And then I go to the dining room table to put my phone down. Pube. I go to the bathroom. How big is this hotel room you got?

To go to the bathroom. Oh, well yeah, I change rooms that you got like a whole suite. Yeah. And then I go to the bathroom. Next to the toilet baby. Pube. Go to the second bathroom downstairs. Another Pube. I go to my king-sized California Baird. King-sized California. Six pubes. I was haunted and riddled with pubes. So, okay, without the exaggeration, how many were they actually? Honestly, six.

Oh, my God. And like, and I go, like, six in the bed or six total? Six total around the room. And it was like a classic girl, my God, is that me? Definitely not. Nah, because yours are. Well, they were black. Yeah, exactly.

What are you saying? Just like, just, you're a ginger. Yeah, what are you trying to say? I don't know. I've never seen a ginger's pubs. Neither have I. No. Is the carpet actually?

Are you allowed to ask that? Is that rude to ask? Um, it's not rude to ask. Would you mind answering it? Um, yeah. I would mind answer. Do you or do you not? No, would mind.

Do you or not have ginger carpet? I don't know. I think it's going to be a mystery for people. Oh, no, I like the mystery. No, I like the mystery. That could be a good fun fact. All I say is imagine being naked, pale white, red hair, and then just black pews. Imagine that.

Oh, yeah, that's true. Shocker. So it probably is. So just, yeah. Wait, do you really have red pews? I reckon what did you see in your hotel, Steph? This is getting out of control. Quite a public place is where you're going to have.

I've never thought about it. I've never thought about it either. You've got a red moustache. Yep. That's kind of cool, I think. Same. I'm, like, blown away. Guys, can you please put your eyes up?

Please. Okay, so what I was going to say for Hotel Horror Stories. In fact, we invite you to text in yours to 3343 or call on 0-800 the edge before. Sorry, just not before, just, oh, 800 the edge, you're blushing. Last night, I went to wash my hair. And in the shower, you know how instead of... What? Just the story?

Go on, bro. You know how usually there are, in some places there are cute little bottles of your throwaway shampoos and conditions and stuff, which is terrible for the environment. So a lot of places have turned into the stuff stuck on the wall that's reusable. You just like refill it, refill it, refill it. Yeah. Now, the conditioner consistency was very like another thing I've seen before. No, I don't know.

Which made me worried who last stayed in this room have the. they refilled a certain other substance in the conditioner, so to speak. Seamen? I think that's what she's implying, but yeah. No, did you see, oh. Oh, I was like, did you see men in the room because maybe they... Oh, okay. Yeah, I think it's what she was in.

Sorry. Did you see any men? So, secondary question to any kind of staff who's ever worked at a hotel, motel, wherever, accommodation before, is this a thing? Should we be wary of this of psychopaths out there, refilling it with stuff that shouldn't be there? Opening the phones, oh, 800 the years? Edge, Hotel horror stories, what have you seen in a hotel?

And have you worked at a hotel? Does this happen? Does this happen? And do people boil their undies in the kettle? Because I heard that people do that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. As I heard people do that.

I did think of it. Yeah, it's a clean their undies. I said, never use a kettle. Yeah. It's disgusting. Last night, I made a beautiful hot chalky, and I did think of that as I was filling in the kettle. Yeah, I was making some lovely undie tea.

Ooh. Well, I want to, oh, sorry. What are you say? No, I don't need to say this. I was just going to say, when to the resept. before I went to sleep and she said, don't worry, I filled up the gun pump in the shower. I said, what is that?

She goes with where the body wash comes out. But she said like the air quotes. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We are currently on a pursuit, trying to find the best fact in New Zealand. But while we're here, we were in Dunedin' last night. We stayed at a hotel. Harrison and Steph both think that there was a little bit,

something all fishy about things that happen in their hotel rooms. Yeah, I had a pub infestation. Yeah, no, I technically had nothing wrong with my room. But the thought crossed my mind with those. You know, in the showers, the refillable, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, etc. Who can refill those things? Slash, has anyone ever put anything untoward in there? It got me worried.

You're worried about the consistency of the conditioner. Basically. I think they probably should use a low-budget conditioner. Now, let's go to the phones because we're asking you about your hotel room horror stories. Jade is here on 0800 the edge. Jade, talk to us. What have you seen before? Hi, Laura.

So you spare flight attendant for any feeling and one time when I went to LA, checked into my hotel, was super tired, got into bed and I pulled back the covers and there was a pair of undies in there. Oh, did you sniff them?

No, oh my God. What is it a matter with you? There's an insane and truth of thought to not only think but then say on the radio at this time. This is crazy. Jake, I want to know, Was it women's underwear or like male underwear? They were women's underwear, yeah.

And I think they were like definitely used as well. So it wasn't like they were packing the bag and just left them behind. Yeah, it was pretty traumatic. Owee. Did you try them on? Okay. Were they your size though? Score!

That's so crazy. That's so yuck. That's crazy. That's so gross. A text here to 3343. Thank you, Jade. My cousin once saw the cleaning people use the toilet brush to clean the coffee cups in their room. No.

And boy, oh boy, did that hotel freak out when they reported it. That is not what any hotel owner was. Why would you do this? I've heard that coffee cups and stuff. I've seen people clean them with just like the rag that they use for like other things. That's crazy. And then the jugs and stuff. The jugs, people boil the undies and the jugs.

No, see, I've heard of that in like a hostel. But not in like a... No, a hotel. You're travelling for work. You want to clean your undies. You boil them in the jug. No, you just go and buy some undies if you need undies. No, you boil them in the jug.

You make a lovely cup of undie tea and you clean them. Let's wrap it up with Hope from Funga Day. Hope. Oh no. What have you seen in a hotel before? So I was travelling somewhere where there was a big event on. There wasn't much accommodation available. So in full disclosure, this is a motel, not a hotel.

and we got put in this really old villa-type building. There were holes in the floor where I'm pretty sure that's where the mice that we saw were coming up out of the holes in the floor in the bathrooms. And there was cigarette holes all through our bedding. And then I also found in the wardrobe some wacky-backy, quite a substantial amount of it. Some what? Some wacky-backy. some electric pooha. Oh, where was this motel?

Yeah. In Wellington. Oh, what year? Hold on. What year was it? I lost a wind of motel. Only a couple of years ago. Yeah.

I apologize. I couldn't find my hash tray. I left my wacky back here. And the rodents were a problem. Even for you. Even for me. Even for Harrison. Sure, Hope, thank you for calling.

You did living well. He did a couple of years ago. He did not do a hotel for myself. Let's hook you up. Hope, with a double pass to Naked Gunn. It's a must-see movie. It is out. From today, the 21st of August, across Al-Teroa, Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson.

If you've missed it, this is a segment I've done on the show, since the dawn of the show, which was roughly eight months ago, where I'm looking for a five-star fact. Have I gotten close? Yes. Have I gotten a five-star fact? Some would say yes. But then you guys said no, because it was one time when I got Tammy from Briscoes to do it. Yeah, yeah.

But it's still counting. No, but it wasn't your fact. Fair. So you've said, if I don't get a five-star fact by the end of the week, the segment is done. So we've come down south to the smartest part of the country. Dan Eden yesterday, Invercargo today, Queen's Sound tomorrow, put $1,000 up on the line. We're trying to get as many facts as possible to find a five-star fact. At earlier today, we were at the fat bastard pies.

We've got a bunch of great facts from some great listeners here in Invercargo. Here's one of them. Men's float in water, but lime sink. That's a good fact, right? Lemon's float but lime sink. Yeah, isn't that crazy? Sean, I'm going to be honest. there? It's not that impressive.

Okay, well, I'm trying. I'm trying to go. I've got one more day. Okay, we do have one more day. Otherwise, the fact's literally going to be murdered. How should we kill it, Harrison? We haven't even thought about it. I don't know. We'll light it on fire. Should we hurt Sean a bit? Okay, that sounds fun. Whoa. I reckon we should. No need.

But right now, we do have your chance. Oh, 800 at the edge. If you would like to win, of course, not only $1,000 for a great fact, but a double pass to Netskeyes, Black Box 2.0 World Tour. He's coming to Auckland. Christchurch, along with audiology touring this August and September. Oh, 800 of the Edge right now.

Give us a call. Me and Harrison are going to play on your behalf. Steph has, because it's the black box tour, she's got a black box with her right now. She's going to reach inside it. She's got something in there. She will describe it using no innuendos at all to meet in Harrison, and we'll have to guess what it is so we can win your tickets. No, all the clues are innuendos.

I want to make that very clear. These are normal objects, but my clues are quite sexual. Okay. Are you guys ready? Yes. You're allowed a guess after each clue. There's only five clues. Okay.

Your first clue as to what's inside my black box is, it's designed to be filled deep and often. It's why do we feel often? Drink bottle. Yeah, oh, that's good. That's a good guess, Sarah. Incorrect. Your next clue is this.

They come in all shapes and sizes, but the best ones have a very nice wide opening. A shoehorn. No. Two horns do Your next clue. Number three These things love something long and firm standing inside of them.

Wait, this isn't the one you used yesterday, is it? No, it's too much. It was a sneaker yesterday. It's not a sneaker today. This is not an item of clothing. A long... It's not an item of clothing. So I can you hit one more time?

So they love something long and firm, upright, inside of them. Oh, a plant pot? So close. Clue number four. Sorry, I'm just remembering what I wrote earlier. Okay, here we go. If you don't keep it wet, what's inside starts to droop. A plant.

No. How can it all be a pot or a plant? No, it's close to a pot. You're not saying the right word. Your last clue is... Better kiddos. They're often just found lying around looking pretty and waiting for attention. Come on, there's one literally like two metres away from you.

A vase. Correct! Let's go. All right, I'm 100 to the edge. Emily on the line. Congratulations, Emily. Because Harrison and I are geniuses, you have won yourself a double past a next guy, my friend. Yay, awesome.

Thank you. Woo-hoo! Get it. How good. We're about to you in the country, Emily. I'm in Auckland. I thought I was going to have to get that answer, so I'm glad I didn't have to. Would you have got it?

Did you guess Vars? No. No, you're good. It was pretty bloody hard. Emily, Emily, I was pointing at the damn thing. So you guys didn't really get it. But we'll give you the tickets anyway. Well done to you, Emily.

Have the best time at Nets Guy. God, he's a good time live, eh? Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We're trying to find a five-star fact, a fact that it's worthy of five stars in three categories. Shareability, originality and performance. to save my five-star fact segment. Also, we've got $1,000 up for grabs.

We're here from the Langland's Hotel until 6 to 7, sorry, and then tomorrow live from Queens. This is up for 6 now. We're still here at the moment. Still here. And then live from Queensland tomorrow. But we were at Fat Bastard Pires earlier today. Yeah, we were given away delicious little fat bastard numbers.

They weren't that little? Not a big, girthy, big fat bastard of things, weren't they? We've actually made for the fat bastards and invocard. Yeah. If I lived here, that is me. Yeah. We were giving away free ones. I didn't help that Harrison keep going,

hey, you fat bastard to people. Yeah, I did. It was confusing. It was okay. It was okay. It was a lot of people away. No, well. A couple of swear words,

couple of middle fingers. That's all right. While we were giving away these delicious pies, we were receiving great facts in return. Now, some people didn't, you know, know why we were there, which is fair enough. And so when we explained,

oh, we're trying to find a great fact, giving away $1,000 to the person that gives us our favorite fact of the fact tour. And they were like, oh, oh, so they quickly go. Googled facts, right, as you would, because you want to win some money. Perfect. But we ran into a bit of trouble because if people are Googling facts, typing into Google,

giving me a great fact, usually it's the same top Googled answers that we are then receiving. Yeah, as someone who's done this segment every week for coming up a year now, if you Google Fun Facts, it will go Google AI, number one fact, and it gives you a fact about octopuses. Oh, my God, the octopus facts. First thing that comes up on Google. Like, we have heard this octopus fact. so many times. And again, it popped up today.

All right, run the compilation. Octopuses have three hearts. Octopuses have three brains. Octopuses have three hearts, and two of them stop beating when they swim. No, that was only three of them. I reckon we got that about ten times today. The guy who said the brains was just wrong. He like read it off Google.

He Googled the first thing and he said brains. That was like in Dunedin yesterday, we had to ban the octopus fact. Yeah. We said, no more. You need to stop because everyone's doing it. Yeah. I didn't realize it was the first thing that popped up. I never clicked.

Yeah. Yeah. So no more. Can we hereby proclaim that the factor will no longer accept any octopus fact? I'd like to object to that. I think that exact fact about the three brands, no longer. But what if there's an amazing octopus fact that we haven't heard yet? It's just not going to win.

Like I'm so turned off octopus sees. Octopus sees? Pusai. Pusai. I'm so turned off octopus eye, thank you, Harrison. that I just don't think it's going to have the umph to win. Yeah. So I think we can make that rule.

Yeah, I think we'll say that. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. Sure one's been hanging around for this. Harrison's birthday hacks. Guys, birthdays are expensive.
