You could have said fox terrier. I couldn't think a one for that. Yeah, I would have gone foxtir. A foxhound, a French bulldog. Oh, yeah, okay. A couple of them. A few. Oh, sorry, mate, but seven not a bad score, bro, so well done.

Well done. Great job, mate. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. You've probably heard my segment, the five-star fact, at around this time every day. I've been unsuccessful for coming up a year now. So Stephen Harrison is saying that by the end of today,

if I don't have a five-star fact, the segment is done. So we've gone on a fact tour to the smartest part of New Zealand. Dunedin on Wednesday. Invercago yesterday, Queenstown today, looking for the best fact in New Zealand. This is one we got from Tim the Irishman earlier. Mount Everest grows three centimetres every year. Wow.

What do you say? Mount Everest grows three centimeters every year. Three centimeters every year. Oh, that'll be. be from Global Warming because the sea goes down. I think it's from tectonic plates moving, isn't it? No, I don't think so. I sounded so smart then, though, didn't I?

We did sound smart. I think I might be right. And we do have $1,000 up for grabs for the fact that is our favourite, and we deem worthy of a five-star rating. So, if you haven't submitted your fact yet, 3-34-3, text it in right now. We'd love to get you in the mix for this. But especially if you're in Queensland, come down and tell it to us in person. We are at Walters Tavern.

You can't miss us, really. wearing cowboy hats and we've got pink signage and orange signage everywhere. Actually, we're half on the road. Yeah. Half in the tavern. And you get a free cowboy hat too. Oh, it's pretty cool. That's very cool.

It's a feather on mine. It's very cool. Wait, there's a feather of mine, copy can. All right, original. Now, what do you do when you arrive in Queenstown, which is exactly what we did upon arrival last night? That is you go straight to a wonderful land known as Erg Burger. You're rushing, you line up for roughly three to four hours,

and then you have your delicious burger. You know, I've heard about this place for ages. Ed Schittes, there's a whole wall in there of those celebrities eating the burger. I didn't see that. Who's been here? Ed Sharon, Tupac. Oh, wow.

No way Tupac came here. He was here. He was here. I was impressed for a split second. But he was there. But I was like, man, there's a big line. It was pretty cool place. I was happy to try it for the first time.

Elvis. Martin Luther King, Einstein. He was there. He was there. He was there. He was there. Now, Harrison, you'd never. tried a delightful specimen that is a Ferg Burger before.

We were there, what, about 10 people? It was a late dinner for us because we drove from Inver's last night. Great driving, by the way, Harrison. Thank you. The car did beep a couple times going over lines, but that's okay, that's okay. All right, you'll be driving back. But what did you think of your first ever Fergberger experience? It was all right.

What? It was all right. You know what? I want to back Harrison up on this. One of my hot takes is Fergburger is incredible. but the gap between Ferg Burger and Burger Fuel, not that great. Oh, okay, I was kind of,

I actually, it's pretty incredible. I actually think it's very good. It's like a homemade burger, which I love. Yeah, it does have gourmet home burger vibes. I wouldn't, I loved the burger. I wouldn't order the chips again. No, no. Chips are big lead down.

And there's a reason no one talks about furg chips. You know, that's true. That's true. French fries, very salty. That's true. And what I'd love to point out to everybody about to visit Queenstown, go to the bakery because we went to the burger place for dinner

but today lunch was supplied to us by the goodness that is the Ferg Bakery and guys I've heard so much it's a bit of a TikTok trend I think is the is the cream donut the cream donut yeah the cream donut the cream donut just the trend just the trend is it's trending cream donut right it's been around for a while Charlie Demilio yeah right it's so delicious you guys and I'm not even exaggerating it was the freshest donut the creamiest cream I'm just like salivating

thinking about it right now you know I agree if you come down here Ferg Baker definitely better I mean Fergburger is good but you never have to line up for Fergbaker Yeah and no one says

Fugbaker No one does But I think at the end of the day Be honest Let's go around Fugburger Overrated or underrated I reckon medium rated

It's good But people talk about it Like it's the best thing in New Zealand It's not that good I think overrated But very good Yeah

Very good Exactly Yeah give me a great fact so you can save the five-star facts segment, $1,000 to give away. We're currently looking for facts in the smartest part of the country, Queensland for the fact tour. The Air Java's Fact Tour. Spinning facts.

And we've found an incredibly smart person by the name of Willa, who's come down to give us a fact in order to try and get in the mix to win a thousand dollars if we deem it worthy of a five-star rating. Hello, Willa. Hi. Willa is 10 years old, and she was just telling me that for school, on a Friday, they went skiing today. No. Is that every Friday or just this Friday?

Yeah, a couple amazing facts, actually. Really? Willa, did you do the survey recently? Probably not. But there's a census and school survey with 16,000 Kiwi kids, right? A census, 310 schools. And they'll take part in it with Auckland University to get a little insight into what some of them.

Medici and New Zealand think of different things. I thought this was quite interesting. One of the questions was, what are your favourite foods? What do you think most Kiwi kids said is their favourite food? Ask Willa. What's your favourite food, Willa? I was going to say spaghetti bolognais, maybe that one. I'd go for that, or like cheese.

You got to give him that a fat tour. In a last ditch effort to try and save the five-star fact segment, Stephen Harrison have given me an ultimatum, find a five-star fact from either myself or the public by the end of the week. We'll find out which fact is the highest rated on Monday's show, and that person will win $1,000. But also, if there is a five-star one in there, the segment is saved. Yeah, because, Sean, let's face it, you've done this segment since January,

giving a fact to us in the country every single day, and not once have you got a fact worthy of a full five stars. You never shoot a dead horse, and I feel like that's where it was headed. I think that's the saying. Yeah, no, that's absolutely saying. I think you don't lead a dead horse to water. No, it's dead, so you'd never leave it to water. Oh, yeah.

All I'm saying is, don't look a dead horse in the mouth. And then lead it to water. I think it's like you don't kiss a horse with the mouth. Don't cry. Would you kiss a horse with your mother's mouth or something like that? Don't cry of a spelt horse. Yep, that's it. That's it.

We've finally got there. But yes, we've gone to the people to try and get a five-star factual because it is very necessary and very needed. So these are just a few of the ones we've got today, and we're going to get some ratings. You guys have been not rating them live on here. You've been rating them secretly in the background. But I think we get some live rated from this fact here. This is from Lucy. Australia is wider than the moon.

Yep, that is a good fact. It's a good fact. I think I've heard it 24 times this trip. Yeah. And for that reason, we can't mark it high because originality. That's what we're looking for. We're looking for originality, shareability, a well-performed fact. It's shareable, it's well-performed, but I think it's like a two.

Two, yeah. All right, here's one from Kate. It's so she can do better. There is a town in Central Otago called Alexandra. It has a clock on a hill. It's the largest clock in the southern hemisphere. And it lights up with the color of the wheelie bin that needs to go out. It's so good.

Guys, that's quite cool. Practical facts. Wait, see you're saying if it's recycling day, the yellow one. one goes out. The clock goes yellow. Oh, that's cool. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. I want to get that at 3.5. Oh, no, surely it's worth more than that.

Okay, I've got a four. That is called pet pressure. I'm going to go 4.5 on that one. Oh, wow. Why? I haven't had a five-star fact, because you two, you're both Simon Cowles. And this is the final fact we've got here from GAV. In Japan, the meal of choice on Christmas Day is KFC. Yeah.

In Japan, the meal of choice is KFC. That's the Christmas dinner. Oh, yes. So in Japan on Christmas Day, that's what everyone has for dinner is KFC. Well, that's actually our, this is no way of late. It's our Christmas E tradition in our Fana. Is it? Is it?

Every Christmas Eve. I was in Bangkok one year for Christmas and we had McDonald's. Did you? Yep. Good story. Okay, so that's kind of unrelated. It's kind of unrelated, though, isn't it? Yeah.

Guys, sorry, once on Christmas, I was somewhere and we ate burritos. I'm going to say, I'm going to give it a two because it's not original because Steph actually had McDonald's. in Bangkok on Herkishman Zee. Well, I'm going to rate it highly for that reason because it's relatable to me. And it started a conversation. So it's a four for me for that one. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

Now we're getting some amazing facts up and down the country. We're currently in Queensland right now. And we have got two people here to give us facts. First of all, hello, Laura. Hi. What is your five-star fact for us? The most common prescribed medication in the country is paracetamol, followed up by a torvastatin.

What's it tovastatin do? Which is a cholesterol medication that is very, very common. Wow. Now, you were saying you work at a pharmacy, which is how you know these facts, which is very interesting. And off here, you said,

it's even more interesting, which is that you'd be surprised at what? Oh, I don't think I could probably say it. Can I say it? I need to keep my job. No, that's fair. Can I say it? No, no, no, that's fair.

But off here, it was a five-star fan. It was good. It was good. So great. And we have Chris here as well. Now, Chris, what five-star fact do you have to try and win $1,000 if we deem it our favorite? Asphalt is more common than chip sealing on the New Zealand roads. Great fact.

Never heard it. I don't even know what those things are, but that's a good thing. Oh, here we go. Harrison, what's asphalt? Is that? Close enough. Yeah. Yeah.

So you're a truck driver, right? See, it looks interesting because you guys have these facts from your life. You know, you've studied this stuff and you've brought them into us, which is great for the uneducated swines of myself, Stephen Harris. Is it true that when you truck drive for ages, do you, do you pee in buckets? No, I just pull over on the side of the road and go behind the cab. Okay, that probably makes sense. Yeah, probably.

Okay, cool, cool, cool. Probably. What about number two? You'd wait for a public toilet then. But you have a certain time you have to go in the bush. Oh, there we go. Five stars, five stars. And what radio station do you listen to in your truck?

The edge. Oh, no. Why did you win when you should have? Now, we're going to reveal our finalists on Monday's show. We're collecting all the facts at this stage. But we have had plenty of people chipping in to the Five Star Fact to try and impress us. So let's do a good old first. With the facts, Kevin, what's your facts?

Inver Gargo is the second most windy city in New Zealand apart from Wellington. It's a great fact. They don't know that. All right, Lisa, what's your facts? Did you know that a giraffe's eyelashes can grow up to the length of a human leg? That's cool! I like that one a lot. Oh, we have banned animal facts, but that one's going to slide on.

I like that one. Yeah, it's a close five. Shane, what's your pack? The Earth's continents move at the same speed that your fingernails grow. What does that even mean? Wow, what a fact! That's a great fact. Your Arvost Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harris.

at the edge. Big big news today in a complete drought of massive artists deciding to come to New Zealand. A drip of water has fallen on the tongue of Altauroa.

everyone. No, we're going to give away. You didn't specify that. I didn't, that's on me. Unless, hello Jasmine from Auckland. Kiyoda. Hey guys. Unless you know Jasmine would love to give you one of her tickets.

You know. Oh yeah, Jasmine. Do you know me? Of course. Would you want to go with me? Sure, no worries. Man, she's stoked. I can't believe you just ask the list of that.

We're giving tickets away to lowly. If you can go with her and have half a ticket. Yeah, absolutely. We can go together. Not convinced, but I'm pretty sure this contractual obligations I'm saying, yeah. Socialising, it's friendship, but that's great. We're locking that in, Jasmine,

lock it in, look it in, Jasmine. You're going to doja cat, Miguel. Congratulations. Oh, my goodness. Woo-hoo, thank you. Now, oh my goodness. While we've got you... Does she just win them like that? Yeah, she's just won them like that.

That's so mean. Yeah, we've seen of a big week, Harrison. We're going to make her jump through any hoops. We're going to make you do some crazy things. No, no, no. We will make her do one thing. and that is to give us a fact because we are on the fact tour at the moment.

We're traveling the country, hearing people's facts, trying to give away $1,000 to someone who's impressing us with their fact. Now, Jasmine, what is your fact? My fact is that 30% of our country is a National Reserve. Like a park? Yeah, like a park.

Yeah, like 30%. 30%? Oh, yeah. They're not allowed to build on it. It's pretty cool. Yeah. Hell yeah. I wish it was more, to be honest. I wish it was more of it.

Yeah. It's the saddest thing as I thought I was like, wow, I thought it would be 35. I thought it would be more. Sad fact. It's very sad. Gutted, actually. Oh, hey Jasmine, it's a great fact. Take the tickets off for Jasmine.

You're in the draw for the money. The finalists for our favourite facts will be unveiled on Monday. But you're going to doja cat with Harrison, I think. Oh, congratulations. Jasmine, where do you want to grab a drink before the show? Wait, now you're coming on a bit strong. Am I? Bit strong, bit strong.

And Jasmine, no contractual obligation. You can take a friend. But you do have to take me. You don't have to take me. You do have to take me. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. From Queensland today, wrapping up our Facts Tour and Thunderdunk Whiskey are looking after us in Queensland,

setting us up with a whole bunch of epic adrenaline-filled activities. New Zealand flavored whiskey, ride the thunder, chase the storm. If you've never tried Thunderdunk, get around it. And we went to Eyefly earlier today. Okay, so I've always dreamed of skydiving, but I would never do it. because I don't want to die. No. And I know you probably don't die skydiving,

but even just the thought of being up in a plane and jumping up. Like I physically wouldn't never be able to do that. And I thought you just said people do die. True. So today at I Fly, it was genuinely one of like the best days of my life. Because you get the sensation of skydiving without any of the risk. Yeah. You're in like a see-through tube.

It's like a glass tube. Huge tube. Like a lava lamp. Yeah. With a fan at the brink. bottom, a fan at the top, and it's so windy in there that you have the sensation and instructors in there with you, and you have the sensation of skydiving. Yeah.

You're going up and down and around and around. It's like, honestly, it's like one of the best things I've done in my life. It was the coolest thing. And you could do like a safety tutorial at the beginning of how to position your back, like your hand, your head has to be up. Like, they turn the fan up and down. It was so good. You don't have more, you go higher and lower.

It's so cool. It was so fun. And so our incredible instructor, his name is Ollie. He was the absolute man. And of course, we told Oli that, you know, we're on this fact tour, hitting different locations around Ontario, trying to find great facts from everybody. And we're like, Ollie, give us a skydiving fact, my friend.

And he blew us away with this one. Fun fact is that about two hours in the wind tunnel is about a year's worth of skydiving for the average skydiver. So normal skydives are about 40 seconds. And the average skydover will do about maybe two jumps a week. So, yeah, that's why a lot of skydivers coming to train, military, Air Force, S-A-S, and all the pros from out of town. they come here to fly.

Isn't that cool? That's so interesting. It's like fact, eh? It's so, so good. And honestly, if you are ever in Queenstown, that is the adrenaline activity that I think you should be booking. It was like the funest thing in the world.

And it's like fun and it's so funny. Like watching each other do it is the funniest thing because it's pretty hard. Yeah, it is hard. I just look back at the footage, the video that you guys took of me and all I can see is my big butt crack. Yeah, Steph had a hungry bum.

I'd say, Harrison. You didn't tell me at the time. I could have. Harrison absolutely. natural at the i fly steff it's great that there was an instructor there with us because if not you say it's not that dangerous it could have been I needed work now now everybody needs to go to instagram right now

because you everyone should see what a natural harrison was at the ifly we did a video because i had the instructor room with me and then he went away to the bathroom and i was like guys fill me i'm going to go by myself and do a few tricks and i went in seriously go watch it if there's any video you need to watch tonight it's harrison on the eye fly Yeah, edge avos. Edge Arvos. It's good, man.

It makes me laugh. No, what else happened, though, Harrison? What do you mean? I heard there was something else that happened. It wasn't all highs. There were a couple of hours. Oh, like, I went to the bathroom before I did the skydiving and wheedled all over my jumpsuit. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The edge. You got to give him that a fact. We're trying to find the best fact in New Zealand. We've got $1,000 up for grabs. We've been heading Dunedin, Invercargo, now in Queenstown and Thunderdog. absolutely looking after us in Queensland, Flavoured Whiskey, Ride the Thunder, Chase the Storm, Award winning New Zealand Flavid Whiskey,

and they've taken us to some incredible adventure activities earlier today. It is delicious. And we're very lucky we did the eye fly today. It's basically indoor skydiving. It was so much fun. A huge thank you to Thunderdong for putting that on for us. And, well, I was like pretty wheeze-free when I was doing my eye fly. There wasn't any ways to be seen.

Look, I was extremely nervous, okay? You actually were. And I'm like, I feel like I'm confident with these things. I was so nervous for everything today. Yeah. So stuff I've never done. Harrison before going like indoor skydiving and I fly was like, guys, I've got vertigo.

I'm not good with the heights. We're like, you go like three metres in the air there. Like, you're all going to be fine. Oh, it was still scary. They've done this, they've got this cool like VR thing. We didn't do it today, but there is an option to do it. and you wear like a virtual reality headset, so it kind of looks like,

like it feels like you're skydiving, and actually it looks like you're looking out at mountains and it's up, it looks like your skydiving. Her says, no, I'm too scared of that because I've got rid of go, man, I can't do it, man. It has to be scary, though, because you can't, like, see your surroundings,

I'd be worried I was going to hit into something. Yeah, now you're with an instructor the whole time, you're all good. And so we get in there, we get our, like, and we get outfits. So we're in, like, mechanic jumpsuits. We looked like Charlie's Angels. We did.

It was so hot. We looked cool. And we had helmets. We look like that guy from top gear. We look like the band Slipknot. Yeah, that's the one. And I was really nervous. I need to go bathroom.

So I was like, okay, I'm going to quickly go to the bathroom and go pee. And woman, my woman out there, I know that you think it's really cool that guys can pee anywhere they want. And it is cool, but I don't think you suffer from splashback. Explain. So, as I was peeing, I was going, God, imagine, because the zip went just underneath my genitals. And finish there. With the jumpsuit. With the jumpsuit.

Zipped it down to there. And I started to be. Oh my God, imagine how embarrassing it would be. If it's a splash back off the urinal and hit my jumpsuit because I'm about to go like skydame. My arms and legs open. Yeah. Exposed to everybody.

Yeah. I was like, imagine if that happened. Yeah. And I walked back and I walked to the sink. Wash my hands. I'm like, you're joking. And I've got like two big blotches of piss. Oh, no.

And I'm like, oh, there's no way. What do you do? What do you do? You're already nervous enough. You're already nervous enough. got the hand towel trying to dry it or spills. No, this is disgusting. Did you stand under the, like the blower, like the warm blower, hand blower?

Paper towels. Oh. Yeah, so I was rubbing. I was like, oh, God. And then I walk out. I got my phone, like, just over, like, my area. So I'm walking around there. And then I get to the skydiving area.

Yeah. And I'm like, oh, it's okay, because the fan's going to blow it off. Because you're set to start with. We're going to go really low over this net, like almost on the floor. Yeah. And the fan's going to dry it up. Yeah. Yeah.

And so we go in and I humbly nail it. I do so good on the floor. And he's like, and he's like pointing out. Let's go up on no, no, no, no, no. And he pushes me up. I'm like, no, no. So I'm up on the roof and just pass all of my judges to expose. And I'm like, people come and watch.

They all come and watch you. It's like, the higher I go, the more I get pushed, no, no, no. Wait, I promise no one noticed. Really? I promise you. You were fine. I would say the bright side of it being an indoor skydiving is it would have dried and Incredibly quickly, Harrison, because you were literally on a giant fan.

Oh, so insecure about it. No, you did actually so well. And everyone listening, I know he just mentioned it, but Edge Arvo's got on Instagram right now and look at how good Harrison is at skydiving. Like, genuinely, his first ever time indoor skydiving, like 10 out of 10, more than 10 out of 10. Yeah. So everyone copied on the video. Look up with the wheeze.

Everyone coming on the video, is that a blockch of piss? Yeah. Your Arvos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We are giving away $1,000 to someone who gives us a few. fact that is our favorite fact and it's deemed worthy of a five-star rating. So if you are in Queensland, we are at the lovely Walters Tavern, stop by, tell us a fact. We're not going to reveal our ratings straight off the bat.

We're going to wait until the big reveal. Our three finalists will be revealed on Monday's show. We've been to Invercargo, Daniedon, now, Queenstown. Very, very impressed with all these facts that we're getting. Oh, so good. And I have noticed, guys, that my fiancé, Jeannie, has used this opportunity of me being out of their house for three days to entirely rearrange all of our belongings. We rent an apartment together in Auckland and she's wanted for a while to buy a few new

things. She wanted to go to Kmart, get a rug, she wanted to get a rug, she wanted to get a few pieces, just jazz it up a bit. And I'm kind of in her ear, like, I'm going to say it's a little bit unnecessary. We're going to move out of this place in the next six months. So let's just wait. It's fine. It looks good.

We don't need it. We don't need it. Because you don't know a junk from Kmart. Yeah, you don't want your house to smell like Kmart. Like if you get a rug, like, like, let's just wait a rug. Like, that's going to take a while to get rid of the Kmart smell in that rock. Yeah. Okay, so we had this chat and we decided that we weren't going to buy a whole bunch of new things for the house because we're going to move out.

And then I come on this work trip down here and she sends me a video last night going, hey, went to Kmart, look at this new rug that's in our bedroom. Look at this new stuff I bought. Look at this new shelfing unit. Look at this new. It's gone to Kmart. We bought all the things that we agreed we didn't need and just filled our house with it. And is absolutely taken advantage of me not being there.

Why do you think she's waited until you've gone to. way and she's home alone to do this? Do you say no normally? Well, I mean, she's never pushed the issue if she was like, I really, really want it, then I'm not going to be like, no, you can't. You do whatever she wants. But I've just been the voice of reason, I think. And maybe she's had a moment of weakness without the voice of reason around,

and she's gone, stuff it. I'm going to just buy it all. Is she the spender, you're the saver? Normally. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, probably. You do get a package delivered to work every day. Do you?

No. You don't have to be notorious around the office for it. what that is, though. Spending. No, that's just that I'll post anything for free on my Instagram if someone sends it to me. So that's usually what that is. Okay.

Also, you've got a very small apartment. Yes. Where's all the stuff going? That's what I'm saying. This is exactly what I'm saying. We do not need all these things. We've got a tiny apartment. Jeannie goes, no, I want to freshen it up.

No, I'm freshen it up. I get it, though. I love, like, rearranging my room growing up. I was doing that every couple of weeks. I've always changed my room. It was like the funest part. It gives the room a new aura, A new vibe.

But I was like 10. Yeah, same. I ain't got money all time for that. That's what it is. You're same. Should we put it out there? 0800, the edge is the number. 3343 can text in as well.

What did you do when your partner went away? Well, what did you do when you were home alone? Maybe your flatmates were all out as well. And you're like, finally, I get to do this. I'd done that with my flat. So I rearranged the living room to the flat. Did you actually? Of course.

I was like, oh, it's a shithole. You guys are all gone and fix it. Oh, we need to know whose partners also do this to their partner. Like, or who's doing this to their partner? Did you go away for a weekend and your partner got a dog? Has that happened? Or did you get a dog when your partner was away? If anyone's done that, then I'll feel better about my situation.

When your flatmates were away, you can walk around the flat naked. I went away to uni for like two months and they came back and mum and dad have moved out of home. They had a new house and they never told me. It's a true story. What the hell? I never said goodbye. Yeah, sorry. Oh my God, you never.

I forgot to tell you. Oh my God, saying goodbye to my family home was the saddest thing. in the world. You never got to do that? Never felt that. Oh my God. You don't have closure. Nope. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. The Fact Tour. Improred facts on that thing. Life Edgy Harrison. What tour? So basically this has come about because we do a segment called the five-star facts. I was unsuccessful.

I'll be honest. I'll throw my hand up. Guys, I didn't get a five-star fags. Oh, we know. After a couple hundred attempts. We're all very aware of that. Yep. All right.

It didn't do it. So you guys have said. to me, Sean, you know what, mate, your segment sucks. And you've got until the end of the week, to get a five-stuff act, all the segment's done. And I said, let's go to the people. Yeah, so we're on tour. We've been an invocago Dunedin in today, Queenstown Live. Right now, from Walters Tavern, if you're swinging on by, you could be winning $1,000

with a fact that impresses us the most. But while we've been away, your girlfriend, Sean Jeannie, is her name. She has gone and bought an incredible amount of things from Kmart and just redone your whole apartment. That's what I'm saying. While I'm taking advantage of the people to get facts, Jeannie, my fiance, is taking advantage of me being out of the house and being a bit of a block when it comes to buying a bunch of unnecessary Kmart things. And it's just bought them. We've got a new rug in my house. I've got all new cutlery. You called her a block? I was going to say, I was a block. She would be great on the block.

Great eye for design. Oh, actually. Great eye for define. Yeah. So we want to know when you were home alone, maybe your flatmates are out of town or your partner, your parents, whatever it was. What did you do when you were home by yourself? Debbie on 0800 the edge, you caught two animals. You're not the animals that first come to mind when your partner's out of town. What did you get? I got a horse and a cow.

Together. Right. They're friends. Basically, someone I know had, they're besties. They've grown up together. And they were moving and they wanted them to go somewhere good. And I've got a farm. And these two are adorable.

They cuddle up at night and sleep together or, you know, one will be having a snooze in the middle of the day and the other one would like stand over them and like watch out for them. And yeah, so I, while my partner was away, I went and picked them up. And he came home and he's like, what are those? And I was like, that's Toodles and that's Rocket. A horse and a cow. A horse and a cow.

A little, well, pony and a mini cow. And they are besties. Just when you thought it couldn't get cuter. It was a pony and a miniature. Oh my God. Yeah, a little miniature cow. Was he mad? Was he like, what are you doing, Debbie?

We've got to get rid of this cow and this horse. Nope. He, I'm pretty sure, loved him more than. He goes out there And because the cat Both of them are totally friendly And basically overgrown dogs Goes out and gives them cuddles

And I'll like Find him out there just chilling out with them And he's actually terrified of horses And now he is He loves this cow This cow and this horse They are his little buddies And it's adorable

And my girlfriend did that And um Yeah If my girlfriend did that I had a rock time She goes Honey like I've got your horse on the cow I'll just go, yum.

Oh. No. Well, I would. Those animals. Folly, thank you for providing, darling. No, no, no. Debbie, what a wonderful story. Thank you so much for calling.

And Jess is here on 0800 The Edge. Jess, not quite a cow or a horse, but it was an animal. When your dad was away, what did you get? It was. My dad was away for a week when we were younger, and mum took my brother and I shopping, and we purchased a cat. This is so common, eh? Wait until the partner leaves

when they're stopping you from buying something that you want to buy and as soon as they're gone, you just buy it. Especially when you've got kids because I guess when your dad came home, he's not going to make you return the cat and the kids are now attached to. Oh, God, no. Thank you, Jess.

A text here as well, when my husband was away for the weekend, I bought two alpacres. These are all yum. Oh, shut up. What, the cat? And the alpacers? Okay, you know what?

I feel better instantly. about my fianc buying a rug while I'm away. No, see, I'd rather the horse in the couch. You got the Kmart smell with that rug. It's going to take years to get that smell out. You've got to bring home the meat. You've got to bring home your protein. Once again, Harrison, it wasn't for the chest freezer.

These were pets. Ah, boring. Your Avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The Adjava's Factor. Spinning facts. Oh, that name. Now Harrison has been our designated drive

of the past few days. He does a segment called Yes No Maybe, where he'll just run us through some social scenarios. and me and Steph will help him with them. Hit the intro. Now today's theme for yes no maybe is about being the captain of the car. You mean pilot?

I was the captain, really. You mean driver. I called all the shots because no one was willing to drive apart from Harrison. I offered to drive almost every 20 minutes for the entire track. No, but you've got a cold now.

So you might put snot on the steering wheel. We drove for 10 minutes. You said, I'm falling asleep. Okay, that was a different. Yes, okay. And so I said I will be driving. You did drive. And so I drove for the rest of the trip.

Okay. So here's a few things that I was doing in the drive. I just wanted to check if it's okay if it was okay for you guys. Say yes, no, maybe if it was or not, yeah? Yeah. Okay, first thing, eating while driving. Is this like in general? Or what you did on our road trip?

I didn't know. I didn't notice that you ate anything. What did you eat? A sandwich. Did you? Did you? For the petrol station? What was in it?

Is it relevant? Well, not really, because if there's like any. Kind of dried, not dried, shaved your meats or sauces, I would say no, because you're likely it's going to spill out of the sandwich, isn't it? However, if it's like a toasty, if it's just like if it's all wrapped up together, I'd feel like that's safe. It was spilly. Yeah, no, no spilly foods. Driving in silence. At some points in the trip, I said to you guys, quiet and we just sat in silence because I wanted no distractions.

Was that okay? You know, I loved that because I just felt like we needed a little bit of quiet time. We're all quite a talkative bunch. and that was a nice reset for me. I thought it was a bit weird. But weird? Yeah. I'm going to do maybe because now I feel like you're judging me for that.

Yeah, I am. Silent! Okay, third one. It's a flash car that we're driving. Oh, yeah. The safety is crazy. And so a thing that you can do is if you start going over the left line, the steering wheel stairs you back in to line.

Yeah. And so quite a few times I just lift my hands off the steering wheel just to see if it would save us. Did you notice that? No. I did notice that it was a bit kind of. kind of like herky jerky. It was a bit different.

Was that okay? Yes, no, maybe. It is a very intelligent car. It's like so much tech with that stuff. Like so many safety features. But I would say probably no, not okay because maybe keep your hands on the steering wheel. You know, just, yeah, I think that's the best. I don't know it maybe because it's a safe one.

I don't think you need to test the safety feature. You don't need to test the ABS brakes. It's good to know their VIR, but you don't need to test them. Okay. Got a few more driving with my knees. Sometimes I had no hands into my knees. I love doing that. Yeah.

Yeah. That was all good? I think it's a good challenge to yourself. It's not, no. I think a 50K max, though, for that one. At one point, I put my phone on the dashboard and watch K-pop Demon Hunters. I missed that. I would have told you all by the way.

Is that okay? Definitely not okay, never, no. No? Nah. Okay. Cover the speedometer just to feel it out. Just to feel the speed. Is it like a game?

It was a game to see how safe I'd be. So you'd be driving, you'd be like, oh, this feels like a 94. And then you'd check, you'd be like, oh, 95, pretty close. Yeah. Did it right? Nah. No, probably not. If you can pull it off, sure, but no, I don't think so.

Okay, two more. Power nap, 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off. No, Harrison, Keith. Do you know how late it was? No Harrison Keith. I was the width of the South Island. I was bloody tired. No Harrison Keith.

What's your last one? Fart and lock the window. Did you notice that? I did. There was a couple times I tried to put the window down. Yep. And it stunk? And then when I said, Harrison, unlock them, you said silence!

Yeah, I did. I actually thought it was Digital Girl Clara doing those farts. No comment. Ew. Well, thank guys. Thank you, God. That helped me. Thank you for letting me be the designated captain. I really appreciated it. Driver.

Thank you for being Elkider. Captain, it wasn't a boat. Leader. And you keep calling it Port and Starbent as well in the car. That was real weird. Car president. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

And will someone win a thousand dollars. Well, someone will win $1,000. But a couple more facts here. These are some we grabbed earlier today. Barnacles have the biggest penis to body ratio in the animal kingdom. Sometimes on a rare occasion being too dumb can actually be a defense from a crime. I talked to her. She was a lawyer, a lawyer student, and she said that it's like a true fact that sometimes the judge can be like,

you were too stupid. It's a proper defense. That's crazy. For some people, they're like, you're so stupid, you didn't realize what you're doing. That's a great fact That's crazy But right now We've got your double pass

We're travelling the South Island, the smartest part of the country, looking for a five-star facts. We've ended up in Queenstown today and have been very much supported and looked after by Thunder

New Zealand flavoured whiskey, ride the thunder, chase the storm. Delicious, delicious whiskey. And they've put us up with some adventure activities here in Queenstown. We did the eye fly indoor skydiving, which Harrison's incredible at. I'm a literal pro. Go on the edge of us and watch our new reel. I'm pretty insane. No, like the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Pretty good. I was shot my first time. And the other thing that we did, bright early this morning, was something that we've all not ever done, was all on our bucket list, and that is jetboat riding here in Queenstown. And we went on to the KJ. They were very lovely there. Sam was our driver. And it was just glorious. The view, the scenery. I didn't realize this. But when you're jetboating in Queensland, like, around the shot over part of the river and stuff, you're in like 40 centimetres of water. This is massive. You're like skim across the water. You got kind of feeler under the boat at some point. It's like all the rocks and stuff.

It was so, so exciting. And a part of the jet boat experience as well, the driver, our driver Sam, does like the old helicopter move. What's this move? He's turning your finger in a circle. Exactly. He's turn around. And when you see that, then you know that the boat's about to do a massive spin. Doys.

And that's exactly what's happening in this clip right here. You Harris is like, oh, oh. All I hear is clown. Those are digital your club. are wailing in the back. Those are screams of joy, people. Not screams of terror. No, I think in that clip, in particular,

Clara was, like, falling out of the boat almost because she was like, she's our digital girl, right? She's incredible. She makes out of the videos and stuff. There she is again. And she's busy filming Harrison and I, and, like, she's not holding on. We weren't expecting the turn when it happened.

And, like, I kind of saved her life a little bit, guys. Would you say so? You did. You were panicking. I remember you were like, Clara, Clara! And you guys were so tough Can I just say how bloody cold it was? It was like 9.30 in the morning

It was 2 degrees And like we had to film stuff for social So I had to have like my face out and stuff But like Timra's in the ride I had like what do you call that neck thing they gave us? Yeah like a net warmer Like a balaclava almost A balaclava had been

I just had the slits of my eyes sticking out I looked like I was undercover Yeah you were cold Yeah it was freezing It was so much fun Yeah it was glorious It was so so so fun And then we were starting to get facts on the boat

and I was like, Harrison, give us a fact while we're doing the fun spin on the jet. You guys have never asked me that yet. Yeah, we're like, give us a fact from this fact tour. We've heard facts from all kinds of people, all kinds of facts, trying to find our favorite one to win $1,000. And Harrison, why did you say this one? Ready? Octopus have three. Yes, I just Google.

Yeah. I'd actually been brewing on that one for like since before the fact tour. And then we went on the fact tour And everyone said the same fact It was the first fact that pops up when you search up On Google. Yeah, Google AI pops up and tells you. We're brewing on it for like weeks and weeks

And then it was a shame that I had to say that. No, no. You were there in the room doing this very radio show When we declared to everybody That no more octopussy facts were allowed. Yeah. Do you remember? I think I almost made that rule up. Yeah.

That's a shame. It's a shame from you. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The Edge of us fact tour. Spitting facts. Try to find a five-star fact. We've been cruising the South Island. Today we are being looked after very well in Queensland,

the adventure capital of New Zealand by the best whiskey in New Zealand. Thunderdunk. It is our favourite. It is the best. Its name is Thunderdunk. And it's New Zealand's flavoured whiskey. I personally love the little salted caramel number. I love the maple one.

It's so yum. And I like mixing them together like a BK fizzy drinks. Oh, you don't do that at Bika. Mix, mix, mix, put a bit of banter in there. Right to Thunder, Chase the Storm, award-winning New Zealand flavoured whiskey, let's donk. Now, Harrison, after our very action-packed morning with the eye flying

and the jetboating and all the rest of it, we were kind of like just chilling at the hotel, etc., etc. You had to go driving? Yeah, all I'm saying is I haven't left a good impression on the drivers here in Queenstown. So I had to do one mission before the show. I had to go with our lovely producer Jamie and drop off some equipment here just before the show

I had to drive in. And so we're jumping the car together. We're leaving the hotel and then it's like an intersection. So I'm turning right and some other guy, the opposite side is going straight. Okay, so you're having to give way to him? But I didn't. Oh, Harrison.

I never know that rule. What are you talking about? The rule of giving way to cars are coming? I didn't. I didn't know it. And he's, of course, he's wearing ski goggles, classic Queenstown. and he like breaks and he pulls the fingers at me

and so I go one in the one and oh just chill bro it's Queenstown because everyone's so nicer usually I'm like just chill it's Queenstown You almost cause the head on collusion Literally and then we drive here drop Jamie off And then I'm like the car is so flash it's like a smart car Yeah, it's ridiculous and I'm like okay it saves the handbrakes on But there's no handbrake thing No there is no handbrake

There's no handbrake yeah When the car's gone there's no handbrake and I put my phone the accelerator And it's quite hard to move I was like, all right, I'm just going to floor it. And so I just push on the accelerator so much. I look behind me, everyone's going, oh, yo, aye, oy. Smoke is coming at the car. I'm burning rubber outside the pub here.

Everyone's looking like, stop, stop. And I'm like, oh my gosh, what? And I'm like half on the road. Jamie runs over, like a psycho. I put down my window. She goes, you've got to put your seatbelt on, love. Yes. When you put your seatbelt on, it turns the handbrake on.

When we hired the car, the guy sat us all down and told us them. I don't remember that. We had a safety briefing and the one rule, the one rule he said, the one rule he said was put on your seatbelt before using the car because the handbrake's on with the seatbelt. Gosh, yeah, I didn't know that. And then we come here later to the show and there's people at the bar going, you're the guy who like was a really crap driver. And the worst part of it all is that I drove back to the hotel,

went to go to the one park that I had, it was taken. Do you know who got out of that car? Oh, not the guy. No. The boy with the ski goggles. It's all the part blocks away. You want to go to the car later tonight? Yep, it's quite a hike.

Oh my God. I cannot believe that story. We have to teach you how to give way and how to put on a seatbelt. I was doing Iraqis on the road. Honestly. All right. Well, obviously, everyone in Queensland who saw that. It's not an accurate representation of how Aucklanders do drive, although it's not far off it, truthfully.

Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. We're live from Queensland or we're live from Queensland today for the fact tour. That's it, guys. No more facts.
