This is a podcast from Rover. Hey, welcome to the podcast. The big show today. The five-star fact has made its grand return with a new lick of paint. I'm real angry. Why? We had a guest on the show on the podcast everyone's going to hear, and he insulted me. Did he?

Yeah, yeah, his name's Mr. Fantasy, and people are saying he looks like KJ. Upper. People are even saying it is KJ. Upper, but like doing a character on TikTok. Anyway, you'll hear the chat. We had him on. And you'll hear how he insult. insulted me. Because I was complimenting him. I was like, you look like KJ. Upper, like, it's so cool.

Like, imagine looking like a celebrity. And he, like, dissed me real hard. I feel like you ripped into his teeth quite a bit, though. Yeah, it was quite. I feel like he went light on you, considering. You'll hear it. He dissed me before I dissed him. So I was tip for tat.

Right. And I was the tat and he was the tip. Okay. And also, my parents had moved in with me. Yeah. Oh, that's happened. That's a shame. That's a shame.

Yeah, it's a shame. It's a shame. Okay, so chances are you're on your way to pick up, or waiting for the clock to finally tick down to knock off time. So while you're doing that, we're going. Oh, a fence-taker. There.

Even if you've still got two hours left of work, we're putting you off the clock. Yeah, feed up. Make a cup. Let's have some fun this afternoon. Feed-up. but not if you're driving because that sounds dangerous. What does feed up even mean? Feed up, you know, put your feet up.

Feet up. You sound like you're saying feed up. Or that. Or that. Stop your face, stop and listen to the show, you freaks. It sounds fun. Guys, big news for me. Big news and Harrison are going to be jealous of this. But first of September today doesn't only mark the first of a new season.

First day. Spring has sprung, but also the sticker game's finished at New World. And, oh, big, big moment happened with me this weekend. could not find one of those medium-sized baking trays, the smeg ones at New World's being dished out, anywhere. Called every single supermarket on the north shore of Auckland. None. They're gone.

Can I just say? How they're not? Because this morning I got one. Did you? Yeah, I got one. Awesome. Found one, show you. On the last day.

Yeah. It's amazing. I just want to say, thank God it's over. Yeah. It's a real punished for me. Why? Mentally. You've heard my stories of it?

It's consumed his life. I've got six catenary rests at home. It's been an awful time. Also, coming up on the show, we have a lot. We have a massive festival announcement at 5.30pm today. A full festival announcement, a full line-up, plus tickets to said music festival. Can we say what festival it is?

No, I think we can say nothing. Can we say, people in the office, can we say what music festival it is? No, I don't. No. I do you only think we're going to be major trouble. It's going to be huge. It's in Christchurch. And it's going to be at 530.

And it rhymes with Brosella. What? It doesn't, it doesn't rhyme with that at all. The one in L.A.? Not the one. I think we're going to announce Coachella? Yeah. No, no.

Have you got a little card-making kit at home? Yeah, so I brought the cards from Kema and then like little stickers and stencils and put them all together based on what someone likes. Oh, that's a bit cute. That's so awesome. I haven't had a handmade card in years. Yeah, I wonder why. Maybe I don't know why, but I don't think I'd appreciate it as much, probably. but I think it's beautiful, Kelsey.

So beautiful. All right, Kelsey, here are the rules with easy money. We will give you a letter. Your letter will be P. And I'm going to ask you to name 10 things. You need to come up with 10 different answers, starting with that letter P. P, P for pirate.

P for penis. P for pseudoephedrine. You cannot forget the silent P's. That's true. Jesus. And you can skip on any, or pass, P for pass, on any that you're finding hard, and hopefully we'll have time to get back.

to it. No repeated answers. Peated. Yeah, but it's all repeated. So peter actually isn't a word? True, true, true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, Kelsey, your time will begin when I finish saying the first category. Are you ready? Yes.

All righty, Kelsey, for a thousand bucks. Please name for us with the letter P, a herb or spice? A movie franchise. A Pirates of the Caribbean. A flower. Piening. A brand. Puma.

A European country. Paraguay. Something in the fridge. Pumpkin juice. A crime. Pirating. A book. Oh, Kelsey.

It's quite hard. It is hard. You got seven and it is hard and one of the hos go in your ear as well. I'm so sorry about that. Sorry. Gave me a fright. Sorry, European country. Blah, bled.

But you did end up saying Paraguay for that one. You did, which is in a country. And not in Europe. As a country in America, South America. Do you guys make it? I mean, I like the answer, Cass. But you think you'd find pumpkin juice in the fridge? Yeah, hell yeah.

Is it pumpkin juice, I think? It can be. Pumpkin, Paul. If you were to find pumpkin juice, I'd assume it would be in the fridge, but I don't know. I've never had it before. Hey, if you can juice it, then it exists, and it could be in the fridge, so you don't know.

I mean, you segment idea, does it juice? Oh, yeah, that sounds fun. No, I'm keen as. Let's try it. Let's try it. I would try it try pumpkin juice. Have you guys had pumpkin pie? Kelsey, have you ever had pumpkin pie?

No, I haven't. Guys, it's the greatest thing, and I reckon pumpkin juice would work too. Different things, though, I think, hey. But, I mean, one of the same. Still made a pumpkin. Yeah, like, Kelsey. Yeah, which I hate. So actually, oh, I don't know.

Okay, okay. Next chance to play tomorrow, same time, same place. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. So I went to a person who I'd never met before's house this weekend. because they were having a birthday party. They've got a kid turning two, and he goes to the same daycare as my one-year-old.

So they're friends at daycare, so or kindy. So were they at the party? Yeah, so they were at the party, so we're all there. Was it the kids party or the friend party? Sorry, it was the kids' party. New friends, new friends, kids party. And I was very excited because this was like his first proper invitation, and it was Mickey Mouse theme.

So, yeah, it was pretty cute. He was wearing his little Mickey Mouse overalls. and it was just adorable. Now, I made the mistake of having him in the party outfit all day. And he's a bit of a wriggly little guy. And before we went to the party, had lunch and staff, and changed his nappy, and then kind of put him in the car. And that's when I noticed a funky little smell that I've smelt many a time,

but never on a sock, mainly on the bottom I've smeltless. And it was poos. And thank God I smelled it and checked, because he, for some, I don't know how he's done this, but he's wriggled in a way that he's managed to get, yeah, his own feces on his, on his socks before the party. Oh, grim. No, it was pretty gross.

It was pretty gross. Little tiny bit on the inside of the Mickey Mouse overalls as well, but it was Mickey Mouse theme, so we don't have any other options, and we're still at home at this stage, so we could have, we just ran in and quickly got him all, you know, wiped up the poos, and just put new socks on him and stuff. So it was fine. No one knew.

And we turned up and it's amazing. So they've gone so hard out, which is just incredible. There's a Mickey Mouse balloon arrangement, you know, in like the classic ears and Mickey's face and stuff. There was incredible food, just amazing decorations. And there was a face painter. Oh. And because he's a wrigly little guy,

we did face paint him in stages because he wouldn't like sit still. And I'll show you guys a photo. but it's ended up just looking like a massive black mole on the side of his face. Oh, that looks cancerous. It looks like a black mole that kind of looks like maybe Mickey Mouse. Yeah, it's supposed to me. This is triggering for me actually because one of my first jobs in radio, believe it or not, I worked promos for a station.

They sent me to a might of 10 one Saturday, and I didn't realize what I was doing until I got there. They're like, oh, you're face painting children. I don't have the artistic ability to be able to face paint children. I would do the most horrendous. The kids would ask me, I'd like, what do you want? I had no book. They'd tell me.

and I'd just wing it. And I had parents coming back and be like, can you wipe this off? I don't know what this is. So empathy for whoever was face painting your child who can't sit still. The other children looked incredible, the ones that sat still. So she was a professional. She was really good.

It was just, yeah. Just Rocco, who was just a bit annoying. That's so crazy that you had to faceplate. Yeah, and didn't tell me. It didn't tell you. Until I got there. And I was like, I'm not qualified to do this. Amazing.

I love that. So it has inspired me going to an incredible birthday. party like this to do something similar for when, like this is the big balloon kind of arrangement, to do something extravagant when Rocco turns to. Oh, so you want to do like, you want a cool theme, like the Mickey Mouse theme for your son's birthday. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Any ideas? Oh, I've written a list like for when my kids, when I have kids, myself, what parties want to theme them. Any party is always good. Annie? So they're all orphans, then the parents are just like the Miss Hanigans. I've never seen the musical Annie Neither have I

I don't think you can make a bunch of kids Ani No, the orphans That's that clean really That's the whole thing But that's cool for the kids Because then they can Then they can have crap going down

Their legs and stuff Because that's what they were like In the movie So they all fit in very well Actually my one year old is obsessed With vacuuming right now So this could actually really good Yeah

It's a fun party Okay interesting theme idea Harrison Sure on any ideas from you Yeah well that's what I was saying Kids love mundane things I just theme it's something super mundane Like they'll have diggers and stuff

But yeah just make it a vacuum party It sounds stupid to parents, but kids would love it. Give them the vacuum, let them have a crack at the house. I'm on board with the anything. They actually would love that. Like on the weekend, I was like pottering around and cleaning and stuff, and I was like, Rocco, can you help me clean? I just gave him one of those blue cloths.

And he occupied him for about half an hour, just going around and like clean everything. I've got a real cute, cozy theme. The Boys in Stripe Pajamas. So it's just a bunch of him and his little friends, and they're all in a little PJs, a little cozy party. I don't think we do. No, no, no. Have you seen that movie?

Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. It's time for the five-star fact. Now I know you guys are experiencing a little bit of fact fatigue. We went on tour all around the bottom of the South Island to try and find the people's best fact. We gave away $1,000. And so we have heard hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of facts lately. And the reason we went on the tour was because before that, since this show started,

Sean has performed over 200 facts himself and none of them were going to five stars. So it went on tour to trying at a five stuff that we did get that And we're like, yeah That's enough Probably put that bit to rest I reckon But you want to do it You want to do it

It's back guys And it's back with a fresh lick of paint Instant coffee was invented in invicago Octopuses have three hearts It's great facts Best fact about the wombat Would be that wombat Do square poose

Pumping out square nuggies The Edge 5 Star Fact It is back Ladies and Gentlemen I feel alive again I feel like I've woken up from a big nap I've reset It's the first of September

It's time to chase another five star fact Okay I'm into it, I'm into it, I'm on board Judges residing, Stephanie Ann Mucks Harrison Michelle Keefe Keefe Kilda? I don't know And Lily Little Lil

Produce a little ill. Hello? Hello? Hello? Are this thing on? Can't hear you? No, can't hear you. No, no.

Anyway, we'll figure that out and get her on there. Today's five-star fact is, I thought I got to come back with a big one, guys. This is topical. It's about a guinea pig. A guinea pig now called Randy. In Warwickshire, it's earned the nickname Randy because it snuck into an enclosure with over 100 female guinea pigs and impregnated all of them. Oh, Randy.

In one night, one night the skinny pig snuck in there. With each guinea pig able to have litters of around four, the park's now preparing for up to 400 newborns, all fathered by Randy the horny guinea pig. My goodness me. Okay, Sean, thank you for the fact. Now it's our turn to judge it and see if it's worthy of a five-star rating. Now, what we're looking for with a good fact is good originality,

shareability, and a well-performed fact. Harrison, your first instinct? First instinct, first of all, mate, five-starry. our intro. Thank you. The great intro got me excited. I'm very excited for it. The fact, it's not a bad fact.

I don't know what to say. I don't connect with it hugely. Maybe because I'm human. And also both Harrison and I hate guinea pigs. Yeah, we do. Hate guinea pigs. Yeah, we do. It's a tough one, man, because I don't want to be negative, but I just think it was a great intro and then we've gone back to the five-star fact like he used to me. I'm just like, ah.

Yeah. So I don't know. For me, it's probably going to be a two. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm slightly higher than Harrison's judging. I hate guinea pigs, Sean. And also, it's not original for me. I did read that on Instagram

and I was doing the old Doom Scroll on the toilet, yeah. So I have seen that already, but it's a four for me. I didn't hate it. I didn't hate it. I didn't hate it. I didn't hate it. You're either doing a two or a peace sign.

Two. Oh, okay. I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure. Nah, two. I don't really remember it. It's been 0.5 seconds. You know what?

I don't miss you being a judge for this segment. because you barely remember the facts. Sophia texted in. It's not really a fact. It's more of a story. So actually, I'm marking you down a half a point. It's a three and a half for me.

Thanks. Okay. Sorry, I tried something new. We're back with a straightforward fact. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The Edge R&V. Flat Wars.

Rhythm and Vines, Flat Wars is back. We're sending one lucky flat to R&V this year to see Kid Cuddy Wilkinson, Good Neighb, and so much more. This New Year's Eve. They'll be given challenges every day to do with one, flat being eliminated every day until we're found a winner.

Of course, the winning flat going to R&V. Yeah, we're starting with five flats. We're going to meet a couple of the flats right now before we issue the first challenge in Flat Wars. Please welcome. Flat chicken coop. We have Zoe, Karma, Rachel, Amy, Riley and Arabella now here to talk about your flat as Zoe. Hello, Zoe.

Hi, are we here? Hey, hey, girls. We're very excited that you guys are going to be a part of Flat Wars this afternoon and all of this week, hopefully all going well. You guys will walk away with some tickets to R&V. Tell us about the flat girls. How do you guys all know each other? Well, we all went to Unicol together in Dunedin.

We studied together. Nice. Yeah, classic. And I presume none of you have you planned on going to go to R&V? Yes, we wanted to go. We haven't got tickets yet, but we want to go, yes. And is that because you want to go and have a good time and dance and stuff? But also I feel like Zoe might need a bit of inspiration to see what a real-life DJ does

because Zoe, tell everyone the story about what happened during a power cut. So a power cut was already like probably 10pm. And we had like, our phones were like dead. The lights were all out. We were like, okay, the guy's going to come. We probably need to wait for him to come so he can like get in the house and whatnot. So I was like, wait, guys. I'm learning my computer's charged, let me go on dick

So I'm not that great Like I'm just starting out So we all just sat in the lounge With a candle lit And I just pretty much played until like 2 a.m. We just had to keep going We were like, okay, we need a way We can stay up together at the flat

And then finally he came And he didn't even need to come inside the house Like we put it, this was a school night And yeah All that's a no reason It was a fuse box presumably Zoe You need to flick one switch and the lights came back on I reckon.

So fun though. Oh my God, so cool. All right, so you guys are in the running. You're a part of Flat Wars. Now, another flat I need you guys to get to know is a flat by the name of Horn Palace in Dunedin. With Iggy, Ben, Liam, Kieran and David. And here to represent the flat as Iggy. Hey, Iggy.

Hi. Hi. Yo! Yo! Horn Palace, where did you get the names from? I think we're not really sure. we have had a few minutes to think about it but nah yeah we think maybe

it's pretty humongous so it's a bit of a palace and I think yeah the start of it's probably self-explanet yeah it's giving like the sign of the front maybe lost a couple letters towards the end of it so dinner to horn palace which I love yeah we'll go for that tell us again about the state of your bathroom because I've heard what it was

that it's the worst on Castle Street yeah so we've been known to host a few parties and a common occurrence seems to be the day after we kind of get told by the majority of girls at our bathroom's disgusting. But it's not actually that bad. It looks a lot worse than it really is, I'd say. My parents came down and they used the toilet over the road in the library. When was the last time it was cleaned? Be honest. January?

We did it like probably a month ago. Iggy, we were on Castle Street last week, man. And if it's voted the worst toilet on Castle Street, that thing is third world, brother. Oh. But coming up next, guys, we will be giving you today's Flat Wars challenge. The first challenge, one team will be eliminated.

Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The Edge R&V. Flat Wars. We've got five flats. We'll issue a challenge every single day. Every day, one of the flats will be. eliminated, whittling it down to the final flat who can go to R&V for free

All right, we have officially met all five of our flats for Flat Wars. Would you guys like to know what your first challenge is? There will be an elimination at the end of this. Your first challenge is you have to be creative as possible and deck your flat out with the edge and R&V and make it into a festy flat. Be as wild and wonderful as you can be. We're going to check in tomorrow to see who is going to be making it into the next round.

So think living rooms, think signage, think flags and posters and music and fun and edge and R&V. Like turn it into an R&V. Got it. Turn it into a festive. Cool. Festi it up. Bring some porters in. Oh, that's good.

And if you want tickets to R&V, head to the edge. Dot rover. net. Popcorn. Phones on. Another trailer for Harrison's Movie Corner. Oh, God. Guys, this is where I review the hottest movies right now.

Watch three every weekend. That's my downtime. So I went to the cinema yesterday, and I watched a comedy film. Lieutenant Frank Draban, sorry. Lieutenant Frank Drabin Jr. becomes a police officer like his legendary father and must save the police department from shutting down by solving the case. And this movie was The Naked Gun. Who are you?

Drebin. Detective Frank Treman. Thanks. That's the time that I'm body. Now, this movie stars Liam Neeson. Hot. Hot. Pamela Anderson.

Hot. Beautiful. Beautiful. Cute. Yeah. Pretty. It's a reboot movie, which kind of follows from the, like, original trilogy from the 80s. And the whole style of this movie.

Have you guys seen this movie? Never. Have you seen any other ones? No. I watched this one in the movies last week. It took me 10 minutes to get into because it's just puns. Right? It's all movies.

The whole script is puns. I think Steve you'd like it I'd love it I think you'd like For 10 minutes I was like this is stupid And then after about 10 minutes I was like I'm in and I love this

Is it called the naked gun Or the naked fun So this movie It was pretty fun It was so silly though So silly So silly So silly

And so a handful of the puns Very funny Like cracking up The other 400 Bit flat It could have been executed A little bit better I'd say Did you find yourself

Trying to predict them Because I was like That was the movie For me It could sue me follow the plot. I was just trying to predict what the pun was going to be for every bit. Even though always a bit average. I describe it as a dad movie. Dads would love this movie.

So I gave that movie 1.5 cheesy garlic nons out of five. It's been a bit of that. Yeah. And then last night I watched a documentary on Netflix, Brian Johnson, a wealthy entrepreneur, puts his body and fortune on the line to defy an aging experience by expanding his life. This is Don't Die, the man who wants to live forever. My name is Brian Johnson. I've been spending millions of dollars creating an anti-aging protocol. I take 54 pills,

red light therapy, plasma exchanges, and I'm going to be injected with my first gene therapy. It's an insane documentary. Seems really unwell. No, he's far from it. He's very well.

No, but like so wants to live forever that it's kind of like that. Isn't that crazy? It's a crazy. So I've seen this guy online before. He's on TikTok. I've heard him on a podcast. Yeah, Brian Johnson's his name.

And so he's currently 45 and he's just trying to live forever. Who will still live forever? I don't know. No, your body's going to break down and things are going to happen, you know. In that little clip, there's 45 pills. It was for breakfast. He takes 400 pills a day. He works out for an hour. He does all these therapies and skin stuff, but he's a millionaire.

So he spends millions of dollars on this stuff. No, yeah, no. It's unhealthy to live like that. You become obsessed with it. And then like any obsession is unhealthy, right? And he's done it for three years. the stuff and it's only aged them back five years. Right. Doesn't seem like a lot. Evens up to two really. He can't go outside.

It's a whole life. He can't go outside. It's an hour and a half documentary on Netflix. I recommend it. What's the point of living as long as you can if you can't live? That's the thing. But then you hear his whole story before it and like he wanted to die and so he had this money so he tried to... It's like a real...

I honestly finished the documentary going I kind of get it. Wow. How insane is that? From wanting to die to Wanting to live forever is a real 180. It is huge, but go watch it. The Don't Die movie on Netflix, it's an amazing movie. And the, oh, 3.5 cheesy gun, nons at a 5. Oh, that's your top school.

I loved it. Finally, my niece and nephew were around on the weekends. My whole father was up here, and they love, like, YouTube and vlogging, all that kind of stuff that the kids do, so I thought I'd show them this movie. Three students decided to go into the Maryland backwards to cover the mystery behind certain incidents.

However, they lose their map, and things take an unexpected turn, and that was the Blair Witch Pro project. Oh, that's scary. No. Yeah, no. Couldn't sleep all weekend.

My sister's not talking to me. It's been real rough. Scarred. Five cheesy garlic nans out of five, though. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. So I reached a new rock bottom in terms of my sugar addiction on Saturday night. Again.

My partner, Jake, was out of town. Out of town? Not town. It was in town. He was out of town. What happened? He was in town. He was literally in town.

But I was home alone. Baby was asleep. I was bored and I was watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And that's when I was like, I need sugar right now. Now, if you're a new listen to the show, I'm Steph and I've got a sweet tooth, majorly. To the point where I've forbidden any kind of sweet anything to be in the house, otherwise I finish it. I'm not the type of person that can open a packet of timetams and have one. I have to annihilate the entire packet until there's nothing left.

I can't just have two little cute pieces of chocolate in a huge, like Whitaker's block. I have to eat the entire thing. I can't not finish it if it's open. So there's a new rule in the house. Just don't buy it. If it's on the house, I won't eat it. We've noticed that as well since Harrison started hiding his chocolate at work.

Which I found. I did find that, Stash. Did you find that? Well, that's actually a whole thing because Sean pulled a sickie that day. So he wasn't here. We got the chocolate. Yeah.

And then stepped in like that flavor of chocolate. Yeah. And so I've hidden it. Yeah, but I did find it and it's chocolate, so of course I'm going to eat it. It doesn't even like it. The thing is, I don't even like something, but if it's sweet, I'll eat it. And I'm so annoyed at myself for that. Anyway, I blame my mother.

Love you, Mum. She's the same. So anyway, so Saturday night, I'm craving some sugar. Nothing's in the house. I'm checking the pantry. There's no biscuits. There's no chocolate. There's no anything.

And while I'm checking the pantry, and literally going through every single bag that I own as well, just in the off chance there might happen to be a leftover time. chocolate bar of like a previous day. Nothing there. So while I'm looking through the cupboards, I'm like, oh, I forgot I had this. An unopened bottle of chocolate sauce that you'd put over ice cream. And we had no ice cream. So I ended up pouring some chocolate sauce into a bowl and eating it like chocolate sauce soup.

Oh, that's so sad. Thank you. Thank you. That's so sad. That's rock bottom. It's totally rock bottom. I didn't realize it at the time because I was like, yes. I was like a drud addict addict.

And I was just like, yes, get it in my veins. And it wasn't until the next morning when I had put the bowl in the sink and I went to bed and the next morning, my partner Jake was waking up and he's like, what's this in the sink? And I'm like, oh, it's a, I had a bowl of chocolate sauce last night. And he's like, what do you mean you to a bowl of chocolate sauce? And that's when I realized, oh, that's not normal. and I really do have a problem.

How much sauce is in there? Half a ball. How many, how many centimeters? Oh, like, so imagine a normal cereal bowl. Yeah. Half full. You finished the entire bottle. No, no, no, there's some left. There's not there.

Yeah, that's the one. I don't want to be rude. That's yuck. Yeah. That's yuck, yeah. Totally. It wasn't even yummy. It wasn't even delicious.

It was revolting, really. So what did you do to change yourself today? New Day? So today, I've resented. myself. It's the first of September. It's a Monday. It's the first of day of spring. First day of the Burrs. It's the last third of the year. So I am doing this thing and I've seen on TikTok all over my feet at the moment is this 2025 lock-in, the great lock-in of 2025, people are calling it, where it's like if

you haven't achieved your goals, my goal this year was to cut out the, like, really bad binge eating. Like, it's a problem. And it is September. Yeah, thanks. So, just accountability. So my mission in life now is to lock in for the last third of the year and accomplish my goal of not binge eating. Just so much better than that. I love that. Do you know how low it is to go into that pantry to have to get that chocolate sauce and I eat it?

You look at that self. You reflect on that self from you say you look at that person right now and go, you're disgusting. Oh. No, it's as good though. It's a positive thing. Okay, you're disgusting? I'm not sure this is the kind of self.

You're disgusting. I never want to be that person again. Say it. It's quite negative self-talk. You're disgusting and don't even do that again. Yes. Well done. You're better than that, Steph.

I'm better than that. Hold up what you're eating right now. It's a carrot. A carrot, Steph. You're better than that, Steph. You're amazing. Lock in September. Lock it in.

I went to the gym today and I did five weight machines and I did a brand new and they had never done before. And I was like, man, start up September. I'm locking in guys. Lock it in. I'm getting rid for the rest of the year. Yeah. Get rid now.

Lock in. Lock in. I love this. All right, if you want to lock in for the rest of the year, guys, I smell a motivational blend. The Edge, give us a call. And up next, we're going to hand out free motivation to you. What is it that you want to achieve in the next four months for free?

Yeah, we're going to hand out free motivation. It's good. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The first of September today, the first of spring. And Steph's found kind of a. an idea through TikTok of a lock-in? Yeah, it's called the great 2025 lock-in,

where you think about your goal, and maybe it's taken you a while this year to really kind of concentrate on that goal, whatever it is. Or lock in. Or lock in. And you need a bit of motivation, and September's the perfect time to start because you've got a third of the year to go,

plenty of time, four months, to lock in and achieve your goals. So mine is to stop, poisonick myself with sugar. Kealra. Yeah, thank you. Harrison, do you ever something you want to lock in

for the rest of this year? I want to go to the gym and actually work out. What do you normally do at the gym? I feel like, because I used to go on the treadmill but I got bored of that. So then I sat on the weights machines, I just watch so much YouTube. Right, yeah.

But I barely lift them. Because a personal trainer that was around and said, hey, you know, you know what I do so far back to, like, so close back to back to back? Like, take time so your muscles can, like, reset. So I take time. Yeah.

It's funny, just walking into a gym, I feel like that's enough. I'm like, oh, that was, I'm going to lose weight now, and you just walk back out, you've done nothing. I'm putting it on. It's bad. And I would like to spend less money on things I don't need, I think. A little bit of unnecessary spending happening here. There's a package turning up every day here at the Edge HQ.

Yeah, that's a notorious one in the office, Sean. They should dial it back. And that's what I'm going to lock in with. But 0,800 the edge right now, you would not believe it. We are handing out free motivation for it. Lock in 2025. It's a motivational blitz. 0800 the edge and tell us what your goal is

and we're going to kickstart your lock-in by giving you some motivation. Can me anything. Can be stop hoarding. Go to the supermarket more often. Drive less. Anything. Another one for me is to clean out my garage.

I was many to do that in January. Oh yeah. Come on. Lock-ins now. Look at in guys. Maybe you want to get a partner. Maybe you want to leave a partner. Maybe you want to get a car.

Maybe you want to sell a car. Things can go into life. Yeah, please. Oh, 800 of the edge. It's a motivational blitz. Neve's here. Hey, Neve. What's your goal?

To lock in and get my schoolwork done to send in the year exams. Hell yeah. You need to ask you welcome to the Blitz and then we go, and then we go, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, O. Neve, welcome to the motivational. Blit!

Dave's going to lock in because schools just started last week. He's just going to lock in to do the hard grind to the end of the year. Neve, what you're studying? Uh, lots of stuff. Oh, Ney, what are you going to do? You're going to get... Okay, gotcha.

N-C-A. Yeah, you're going to lock yourself in the room and then you can go over all the studying that you need to do for those amazing subjects and learn heaves or what? Uh, yeah, well, like... Yeah! All the best with your goals.

Now, Carl, you want some motivation. This blitz! They've forgotten how to do a blitz there. It goes, Carl, you want some motivation. Welcome to the motion. informational boy. Carl, what's your goal? I want to sell 10,000 magnets by Christmas.

Oh, Carl, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? You're going to go to the fridge and take all those magnets off and go, that's for five bucks, that's ten bucks, that's twenty chucking my line. It's out of the money. That's that. Yeah. I'm intrigued, Carl.

How can people buy your magnets? Visit me at the copy center on Instagram. Oh. Actually, I really, really love them, actually. They do cool key chains too. You know that's one of your things you need to stop buying so many magnets. Yeah.

The fridge is covered in them. I've got too many. All right, thank you, Carl and Ayla. Let's see if I've got this. Welcome to the motivational. Bula! What's your goal? I need to stop buying chocolate biscuits on the way home for work.

Oh, gosh. Oh, what are you going to do? You're going to go to the supermarket. I go out of the Bickeye Island and go, I'd love that. They go, actually, no, I'm not going to do that and put it back. What? Yeah, well, I think I've just not even got to go in the supermarket. Like, that's the key.

Because I'm purely going just for that. You are so loved. If I'm there, it's too late. Yeah! She's going to not buy food for the rest of the year to avoid biscuits. That's insane. I love it. Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Hey, everyone's heard of the news. Boring. Let's jazz it up a little. Here is the relatively new news. To Lofa, I'm Sean Hill, and this is your relatively new news. Despite so much happening in the world the past seven days, the only thing anyone online still wants to talk about is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's engagement. Will he take her last name? Was it staged?

And more importantly, are they even in love? Australian politician and Swiftie superfan Bob Katter had this to say to such accusations. Oh, mate, don't say that, because that irritates me, and I punch blokes in the mouth for saying that. A reporter then followed up suggesting maybe her music will lose some of its charm now that she's found, quote unquote, the one. Bob had this to say. And if you say anything like that, I have, on many occasions, punch bloods in the mouth, right?

So I'm restraining myself today. Don't say it. It's the specificity of where he's going to punch men that makes me scare that this guy's actually punch men. Yeah. And he terrifies me. It's in the mouth? Okay, he's done it.

Oh, yeah. I believe him. And in lighten news, it is the show. 1st of September today and officially the first day of spring. Australian politician Bob Kather, do you have any thoughts on that? I mean, let there be a thousand blossoms, blooms, froze,

God. Jesus. He's really changed this tune, that one. Going to sports news, The Warriors. Up the Wars. Lost on Friday to a team that they were a lot higher in the table then. The Parramatta Eels. Captain James Fisher Harris spoke on why they

like lost, like. Yeah, just like, we'll try and really hard and like really good like our field position like fox down the sideline and just little things like that and like... And then when asked if he could eloquently wrap up how the Warriors felt during

the loss, he had this to say. I thought like we're trying really hard. Got, not exactly the Shakespeare of our generation guys. No, I feel like I suspect like that. Like... Like that. Like... Like, like, like, like, like. The lighter side.

This is a part of the news that offers a bit of escapism from the darkness of the world today. Today we go to the quaint town of Mottweke to celebrate the 32nd birthday of the oldest kitty in New Zealand, Mittens. Mittens was adopted by Marlene and her husband John in 1993 and since then has become a staple in the town, known for his playful nature and love of catching local birds. It's estimated that Middens has made an impact on over a thousand tourists and murdered over 10,000 locally native birds, decimating the population of both the speckled swamp, whitehead

and the yellow-breasted tit. It is unlikely that these species will ever make a full recovery and extinction is all but certain. Sorry, that got quite dark, quite quickly. Wait, that's an old pussycat. 2003? Yeah. Sorry, 1993. Shouldn't be alive.

Pologise. Probably the sooner the better for middens, really, isn't it? Anyway, and that was your relatively new news for Monday the 1st of September. I'm Sam Hill. Shit. I'm Sean Hill. I'm Sam Hill. I got it wrong.

Almost nailed it until the very end now. Got my own name wrong. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. my dad was being inappropriate in the weekend. Well, okay, so my fan who came up and stayed with me this weekend. Yeah, they live in the Hawksbane, normally, eh?

Yep, and they came out with my auntie and uncle, and we all hung out. You have a one-bedroom place, and they all come and stay with you. Yep, it was hectic. That's crazy. And we just, I don't know what we did. We just, like, went out for lunches, dinners,

walked around, a little of shopping. Anything but hang out in your one bed of your apartment? Literally. And they were like, oh, because I said, guys, get a motel or something. And then they're like, nah, but we think it'll be fun if we can all stay together. It wasn't super fun. It'll be cheap, not fun.

Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, we'll just sleep there. So I'm like, yep, we're going to do whatever we can to make sure we're never there then, ever. Also, I'm thinking, like, six people, including, like, because your girlfriend, Sarah, obviously, is there. And it's like, just sharing a bathroom with your, not that you're married, but, like, your in-law, so to speak, is always kind of, like, a daunting thing. I don't like sharing bathroom is anybody. Anyone. That's gross. Exactly.

So six of us all shared that shower? Yeah. Heary. But one day, we're going out for lunch, and my dad turned to, me and my girlfriend in the backseat. And my dad turned to my girlfriend and said, hey, I've got a gift for you. And I was like, okay, this is weird. Like, we never gives gifts. And what is this going to be?

And then he was like, what phone do you have? She's like, oh, I don't know, like a 12 or 13 or something. And then he goes, oh, awesome. See if these fit. give us some brand new headphones. But like the old kind of Apple ones where they got the cord, with the white apple cords. Awesome.

Yeah. And so you can plug them into air. He's like, oh, check if they work. Like it's being all cool. She goes, oh, thank you so much, Tom. That's so kind. Listening to them, all good. Happy.

She's dope. She needed headphones. Oh, cool. I don't know how he knew that, but she needed headphones. We got up for lunch. Me and my dad, talk, I'm like, can I just say, Dad? I'm so thankful that you got her a gift. You don't get me one.

It doesn't matter, but that's real kind. you got my girlfriend to give. He's like, far out, bro. You won't believe it. I went for a walk this morning just around the neighbourhood and you know, snap fitness over there, your gym.

I was like, yeah. And he's like, I've spent him on the footpath outside the gym. I was like, oh, dad, did you? Were they, like, wrapped up in a case? And they were, they're like, and they're lying there. Like, no, someone must have dropped them.

What a school ray? I haven't told Sarah about this. Oh, my God. I've told her yet. I know, but I was like, oh, dad. No, but is it? Is it disgusting if it looks clean? I would say it's fine.

It looked clean, but especially outside of gym. Someone's been sweating in those. In-air, in-air headphones from a stranger. You do not know what they've got to go on. In ear, I think, is the second grossest hole in a body. But what do you think is going on? It's not like diseases on it. No, but ear, so many diseases and things in your ears.

Yeah. I was so angry at him. I was like, run it past me. I was like, why would you ever do that to him? When he gave her the gift, tell her, be like, hey, I found these, would you like them? They might need a quick wipe down. Yeah, but I said he's like, oh, see if these fit.

Like, he's trying to be cool about it. She's stoked. So then me and my girlfriend go to the gym this morning. We get there. She goes, oh, I've forgot my headphones. I couldn't. I couldn't. I biffed him.

I haven't told her, but she's panicking. You're like, anywhere. I'm like, nah. That's wasteful. Clean them. They're disgusting. Hand them into lost and found. Someone's looking for their headphones.

So, Dad, please don't give her any more used gifts. That's inside. with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Rolling Meadows Music Festival is back. For 2025, it is in Christchurch. The lineup has just dropped right now with Grammy award-winning artist.

Oh. Oh! Jojo! A long headline is H. I can say my name. First class right to a layer as soon as a lamp at a... DJK motions. One double logo signed by breakfast.

A little too late is... Oh, the other one. Oh, God, she's... She's got so many shows. Icon. She's up there with the best female vocalist on par with Tori Kelly, I reckon, and they've got a duet together.

Oh, my God, I wonder if she was like that. Excited, right? We've got a free double past to giveaway right now to Rolling Meadows. That's it. She was 16 when the song came out. How old is she now? Like my age?

Whoa! Whoa, oh, it's not that. Careful. Careful. I'm happy. We do have a double pass. Are you from Christchurch? Do you want to go to Rolling Meadows?

Hayle, pumped to you with this line up. Oh my God, so excited. I'm so excited to get down. I'm all in came motions. It's amazing. Wow, you and a friend. Lock it in, Rolling Meadows. Two tickets coming your way.

Haley. Congrats, Haley. Of course, they've got increased transport and accommodation options this year as well. improved cell phone reception and plenty of natural shade. So it's going to be the best year yet for Rolling Meadows 2025. The lineup just announced, with such a good lineup,

I reckon we just give away another double pass. Surely, surely. Another one. Another one. Another one. How about this? Let's make it fair because it's quite hard to get through when the lines are jammed like this.

Text in your full name, first name, last name, to 33443. We're going to read out three names, the first person, to call back on 0800 The Edge will get the double pass. Good idea. So texting right now.

Your first name last name to 3343. Listen up for your name in the next kind of 5, 10 minutes. So if you hear your name, we're the first through on 0800 of the Edge to win. The Rolling Meadows Rollco. Oh, I love an audio brainstorm. We'll do it now. Marvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. And we just announced the full lineup for Rolling Meadows Music Festival. And in Christchurch, 2025, 2026, and New Year's Festival. We gave away a double pass, but we get stuff. Let's give away another one. Yeah. Yeah, let's do it.

So, we asked you to text in your full name to 33443. I am about to read out three names. If you hear your name be the first to call back on 0800 The Edge. In fact, why am I doing it? You read it out, Harrison. Read out a name. Yeah, but you've got to do it fast. You can't linger because then people have like an advantage over the other names.

You've got to be like that. So we read out one of these names here. All three. All three. All three. Three names, guys. Virginia Hogan, Angus Edwards, Charlotte Dunkley. Go, go, go, go!

First one I call through is going to Rolling Meadows to see Jojo. H. K-Motions. Cassie Henderson. Example. Oh my God, that is a deep lineup. Where are your floaties because you'll drown in how many bangers there are. Those names one more time.

Virginia Hogan, Angus Edwards and Charlotte Dunkley. actually all just text into win these tickets. Now you need to call us, 0,800 the edge. Anyone's game right now? Now, if I was going to Rolling Meadows, again, Virginia Hogan, Angus Edwards and Charlotte Dungley, I would be pumped to see this lovely lady. They're not calling. I'm going to shout out more names.

What? Dylan Budge. Ruby Slater. Oh, I'm going to start doing that. Rosemary and Scombe. James Wilson. Brianna McKay. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Okay, someone's calling back. Talking to our producer. Megan Tancy. Lynn Jackson.

Oh, people are cool now. Breanna McKay. Trent Dumbull. Have we got someone? I think we've got someone. Made that up. Hello, The Edge. Are you one of the names we just read out?

Yes, you said my last name wrong, but it's Anskin. So I'm Rosemary Jane Anskin. Now all you need to do to secure your double pass is say, shame Virginia, Angus and Charlotte. Too slow. Shame Virginia, Angus and Charlotte. You're too slow. Yeah.

It's awful. Actually, we're taking those tickets back from your rosemary. It's not the kind of attitude. We assess that now. Congrats Rosemary. We have the best time. Tell Jojo I say hello. I will.

Oh, thank you so much. Seriously, I wanted to be her growing up. For all the Gen Zsies out there who are thinking it's Jojo Seaward, it's not Jojo Seaward. It's Jojo. Iconic artist. Jojo. No one's thinking it's Seaward, surely. Really?

Yeah. Your Arvos hit harder with Sean. And Harrison. The Edge. And a TikTok account that's popped up that you've probably seen over the weekend features someone who looks very similar and rumoured to be KJ Arpa.

Yeah, incredible Kiwi actor. Off doing amazing things over in America at the moment. He's just been on that show with Melin Klein on Amazon Prime. Movie, sorry. Yeah, he looks uncanny. Uncanny to KJ. Aupa, but his name is I am the real Mr. Fantasy.

Now, it's kind of like a character of an up-and-coming British musician. I'll tell you why. Because I love you. Each and every single one of you, I love you. I've been reading all the comments. I've been looking at your profiles. I've been looking at your profile.

It's taking the world by storm, especially in New Zealand, because everyone's like, there's no way this is KJ. Upper. The hot KJ. Upper is doing this kind of crazy, quirky thing. Well, I figured out it's not. It's not KJ. Upper. He's just got a doppelganger

because he is this legit British singer who has moved to L.A. from England to pursue his dreams. He's got black shoulder length hair with the fringe. And, I mean, he joins us on the throne right now, so I won't say anything too mean about his teeth. Does he? You know what the Brits are like with their teeth.

Harrison, isn't here right now. But Mr. Fantasy, hello. Oh, my God. Thank you guys. So much for talking too highly about me. I'm honored to be here. So sorry, Harrison can't be here. I don't know, where is he?

He's stomach issues. He had to run out. He does have obvious. It's unrelated. So, Mr. Fantasy, people are saying you look a lot like KJ. Aupa and that you might be KJ. Arpa. How would you respond to such accusations? Well, yes, it's pretty funny, or not it cut me, because I was a big fan of the Dale of River, which is the show he is on.

But I've got nothing to do with that. But it is exciting and feeling, and hopefully he gets me into parties. Right. Yeah, I mean, people tell me I always look like Angelina Jolie. I sent you a photo of... You doomed. Pardon? You don't. That's really mean, Mr. Fantasy.

I was about to say I can relate to looking like a celebrity, but I, whatever. So what's your singing like? Because, I mean, you're about to launch this new song. That's what you're saying on TikTok, your music's kind of why you've moved from England to LA to pursue that. Any inkling that's into how that's going to go? Yes, well, we are recording the sound live on the Hollywood Hills. It is all on bongos, and it is called bootlegged rascal. Okay, all right.

Okay. Have you just tuned in? Mr. Fantasy, joining us, the character on TikTok that a lot of people believe is played by KJ. Aper with the slightly eccentric teeth and the wig. Sorry to say that to you. What's with your teeth? You can't ask that. You just can't ask that.

Well, you said I didn't like what age. I didn't stop asking about my teeth because it is actually a cultural thing. from the UK. But my mother had horrendous teeth and that kind of went down to me. So I love it and it's making me beautiful. Yeah, so genetics then. Yeah, you can't really ask that.

It was just genetics, is that? Yes, no, and I also had the classic Charles fingers. They had the size of salami rules. Okay. All right, well, all the best. And if people want to follow you, I am the real Mr. Fantasy. 171,000 followers now.

You must be happy with that. Yes. I appreciate it, and I am excited for my journey. Go follow me, and as you Kiwi say, Keikarho. Okay, well, I can't believe we have one interview with KJ Arpa, and that is how we used it. It's not KJ.A.

It's not Harrison either, I promise. Your Arvos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Over the weekend, Harrison operating a little bit of a hostile situation in your little house there. Yeah, my family came to stay. So that was my mum, my dad, my auntie and uncle, and my girlfriend.

She lives with me. So six of you? Six of us in a one-bedroom apartment pretty much. Wow. That's all it is. Why would they do that to you? Yeah, I mean, they've visited you before from the Hawks Bay, but they normally don't stay with you away.

They'll get like a motel or something. Yeah. But then for some reason this time they're like, I think it'll be fun if we all stay together. And it's like, yeah, it is fun, but I can't emphasize enough. It is a small place. Like my auntie and uncle slept in the little office that me and my girlfriend have. And then my parents slept in the living of it.

So, okay, it's like, it's okay. We can just put the airbed to the side during the day. So, like, you know, we can hang out. There's nowhere to put it, though. There's no side to put the airbed on. And so it was just hectic. And I loved it. I loved them staying.

I'm so grateful for them. But it was just like little things just annoyed me a little bit. You right, Sean? Yeah, sorry, I lost something under the desk. Heck, you're busy, mate. What are you up to over there? I found out. I found out a little thing.

I lost. Okay. Hi, my snake. Okay, thanks, Steph. Like my mum, she's got OCD. So I thought that'd be amazing. She'll be so clean. And she is so clean, but like she's like a richer clean.

You know what I mean? Not they're saying that she's super rich, but it's more like as soon as they left, she put like all the hand towels and the tea towels and like the bathmats into the washing machine. But we're not going to wash that for another two weeks, you know what I mean? Because it's like, I guess it's your power bill, right? Yes, because that costs money. We're going to wash a bath mat every second day, are we? but she will back home.

So she thinks she's helping by setting up a situation in which you guys are not going to actually follow through. Yes, and like the towel rails. Like we've got a rule in the house, don't put on the towel rails. Right. They were on all weekend. Yeah. I'd keep going checking.

Someone would turn it on. Like, guys, that costs so much money. You just don't do that if you haven't got a lot of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they're older. They don't know that kind of stuff. They don't get it, eh? Lights on the bathroom, fans on in the bathroom.

Horrible, constantly. But, I mean, putting a... Are they using the bathroom when the lights are on? Or are they leaving the bathroom, leaving the lights on? Leaving the lights and fans on. Oh, okay, because I was going to say, showering in the dark is a little bit harder. I was just like, guys, me and my girlfriend are only like 24, 25,

like we're young people. We haven't got a lot of money. So every bit counts, every bill. But the bathroom was the hardest situation. My girlfriend didn't ship for two days. I don't know if she'd want you to say that. You don't reckon? I'm not entirely sure.

I mean, I don't really know her at all. Yeah. But I don't know if she would want you to say that. But does it make it more kind of that I didn't? No, but you're like, You didn't for two days. I don't think I could do that. Now, she couldn't because she was shy

because there's so many people using that bathroom. It's hard to ever get a quiet time. Yeah. I didn't because I had, we went to, like, Italian on Saturday night, and I can't have a month. I have, yes. You get clogged up. So I had to wake up, this is quite gross,

but I work at 8 a.m. in the morning, and I'm just super gassy if I've had Italian. I won't poo, or just gas. And so I, like, sat on the toilet, genuinely, farting for five minutes. But slowly trying to be quiet, so slowly to seep out, and then echo. and then went down for breakfast

my auntie was like, are you okay? You just sat in the bathroom and farted for five minutes. She heard you. Uncle came down, yep, I heard that parents. Oh yeah, we heard that too. Oh, so everyone heard me fart for five minutes. Because the thing is to stifle us sitting down and farting for five minutes is the tap on.

But then again, that's a waste of water. It's a waste of money. Five minutes. Yeah, it's a long time. I reckon here's the thing. They stayed at your place in lieu of accommodation. Send them a bill. Yeah, well, I will be.

Good on you. Yeah. And also, I think the rule should be, if it's your rectum, you can talk about it. Sorry. Sorry, Sarah. I mean that. Hey, I hope you enjoyed the podcast.

Steph's just drinking from a water bottle that she said isn't hers. Yeah, I found it in my kitchen. I've never seen it before. But hey. And also, God. You spill it on yourself. It's just water, so it's okay. Hey?

Yeah, you do spit a lot. Do spill a lot. But spilly, old Steph. But so we call her spilly silly, Steph. Yeah. Well, I'm grateful to be here, guys. I can't believe we're back at work already. Yeah, it was a quickie, wasn't it, that weekend?

Time's going fast. Time does go fast, especially this time of the year. Now we're in the burrs. And listeners, you can take that phrase with you in life because it makes sense because it's September, October, November December. So as soon as you reach the burrs, it just flashes by. Yeah, I also on this weekend, I feel I've been at work because I brought my family in, they were here this weekend.

I brought them in for a tour of the studio. Because my auntie and my uncle, I like, she's like a super fan. She is like if Women's Day was a person. She knows everything about everybody Just in pop culture in New Zealand That's so cool Who's her favourite radio host on the edge?

Oh I don't know I couldn't say it shouldn't tell me my favour was But just put your hand up Steph No sorry I'm itching my eyes Well hopefully she should say me Yeah that's true But she does really like Ash London

Yeah Who doesn't I know I know but they were like Fuck we love Ash London at the moment She's fantastic Yeah I was like yeah

But so she had so many questions to me And then they came into the studio They were buzzing They loved it. Will you take some photos in here? Yeah, they did take some photos behind the mic, by the door, but I've never met like, I mean, people like the radio,

I've never met like such a fan. That's so cute. And it's my auntie and uncle. I'm like, cute. You're like, that's where I sit, this is my microphone. Literally. She's like, oh yeah, out there's the, um, what do you, what the fuck, she knows what's called? The producer booth? No, the courtyard thing. Oh, the pavilion?

She's, oh, the pavilions out there. It's where you guys do all your videos. It's where you and Lily Dats. we did the water videos and the bleat, you know, I'm like, fucking hell. She was like, oh yeah, producer needs it sits here. I'm like, oh my God. Oh, that's so cute. She was like, I was like, I work at this desk sometimes.

And next to me, she goes, did you go Clara? I was like, yeah. Like super fan. What did she say about me and Sean? Good things. No, she liked it. Well, it seems like she had a lot of specifics to say about digital girl Clara. Yeah.

And the pavilion. Mention the pavilion. She mentioned, honestly, she mentioned more about the team. about the team in the office than any presenter on the station. That's when you know someone's an edge super fan when they were like, oh Mitch from promos, you're like, whoa. Yeah, well, I think she knows that everyone's good. She likes all the host, so she loves the edge.

But everything else she was like... Yeah, that's very exciting. She was like, oh, Josh is what she told about. Josh just moved around. How do you know Josh moved over me? How would you know that? She must listen all the time. Yeah.

It's like going on a tour of Shortland Street, the set. It's like, oh, my God. It just honestly is the most exciting thing if you're a superfan or something. Yeah. It's like, oh, you imagined it bigger or smaller or that there or that there. and she's probably seen all the videos she knows exactly what she's walking into though that's cute.

Yeah, she thought the studio was going to be a lot bigger. There we go. I thought it was quite big. It's quite big, yeah. You wouldn't want any more room in here, would you? Yeah, and then I got to see the whole book. I took them everywhere. Like I went upstairs and stuff.

You went to places you've never been to. I've never been there before. You should have boss dogged it and be like, this is my desk and you go up to the CEO's room and you just put your feet on the desk. You're like, this is where I make all big decisions. I low-key boss dog it. like when I, because I work at a desk out in the office a little bit

and my one's always standard, but for some reason I didn't put it down, so it was the only one standing, and I go, that's my desk there. And I looked down. So I boxed out, as in like, everyone's like, oh, do you not, like, do you not get a chair? I'm like, don't need one. Don't need one. I stand. Down upon all these peasants who are going to have bad posture.

And then I, yeah, and then I lied, you know, the big boardroom upstairs, got the massive long table and a hundred chairs around it. I was like, that's when I found out I got the job in there. I didn't. I was like, whoa. You were shitting your pants after an ice cream on the road, weren't you? Yeah, I was in a car at Qualify Park, wherever that is. Yeah, it's not as exciting to take them there.

Nah, it wasn't, it wasn't. But out of the way as well. But yeah, you know, big fans, they're big fans. Oh, good. Oh, good. Love to hear that. Shout to Harrison's auntie and uncle. What are the name?

Kay and Warren. Kay and Warren. Shout to you guys. Corrin. Hey, I've got something that is kind of weird. I want to know if it's a weird thing to do or not. My sister is 26 and she now... That is weird to do your sister.

Don't do your sister, bro. No, she's 26. Okay. Doesn't matter how old she is. That's not what I mean. I mean, she is in her first, she's got her first proper boyfriend. That, obviously she's had relationships before, she's 26, but her first one that she's telling us about.

She's got this boyfriend now. She's telling us that she's got a boyfriend. She told me, I know who it is. It's actually a guy who's my age, who went to a different school than me, but it's from Tauronga, and I knew him from different circles from back then. Anyway, she's disclosed this information to me in the last few months. to me and my fiancee Jeannie. She's talked to mom and dad about it.

She wants us to meet him. The other day, this is like a month into them dating, boyfriend, girlfriend. He's got a private Instagram. I've not really met him before or talked to him. Followed him on Instagram. Mm-hmm. Is that a weird thing to do? No.

Never met him. No. Do you have to meet someone before you follow them, as I'm saying? Nah. Nah. Not if it's your sister's new boyfriend, who you've probably heard a lot of You can just follow them? Yeah, you can just follow them.

Absolutely, you can just follow them. In fact, it would be kind of weird, well, it wouldn't be weird not to. He didn't follow me? So I was like, do you go in like... No, I think you as the older brother have to make the first move because otherwise it's a little bit like, what's this guy doing? So I think as the big brother, you're like, hey, I'm going to put out my virtual hand. It's olive branch?

Well, no, like, as a handshake. Oh, because there's nothing like to bury the hatchet or anything. There's no olive branch yet. Oh, okay, I don't know what a whole bunch. No, no, it symbolises. It symbolises if there's a feud or something, you want to reach out and make. No, so you've reached out your symbolic virtual right hand as the friend request,

and then he has accepted it, and he has virtually given you like it. He's dapped you up, basically, on Insta, before you've ever met him. Yeah, that's my take. Yeah, my brothers had, like, three girlfriends of the last five years, and I'd never met any of them, and I follow all of them on Instagram. There we go.

Oh, there you go. And who reached out, who was the adder? Was always them. Was them? Yeah, it's always been them. Maybe because he was a little brother. Yeah, maybe Maybe

But it's not too weird No Yeah, okay Oh that's good Because I thought it was kind of weird As I did it As I clicked it And you can't unfollow

Someone on trade away If they were to break up If that's to happen At any time in the future Immediately you must Delete them from Instagram Do you follow any of the boyfriend still The girlfriends I do

That's why the girlfriends Yeah Yes I do Uh oh Uh oh Then other time I might Unfollow them Yeah

Yeah I do you have unfollow anyone I still follow my exes Yeah, but it's probably different because it's like amicable. But it's like people that you follow. You should have a reason that you follow everybody. No, I think what you're saying,

but I think if that person's not very active, like a lot of people I follow, they're not very active. You forget that you follow them. And then you go, oh, yeah, I'll unfollow that person. Once you realize you follow them, it's like, okay, I'll get rid of them. Yeah, that happens. Some people have quite an interesting method,

and it kind of works if you're still, like, kind of active on Facebook more than the rest of them. But when it's the person's birthday, you're like, oh, I wouldn't wish that person a happy birthday. So I'm just going to delete them. And it's like a really interesting way of like culling your social media circles. I unfriend more people on their birthdays than any other time. Because on Facebook, it's so-and-so's birthday.

I'm like, who's that? Yeah, who's that? Maybe they've changed their name because they've got married. You've got no idea who they are anymore. I don't know who you are. I don't know who you are. Goodbye. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Brutal, eh. Also, what's your take on wishing people happy birthday these days? I don't do it. I cold turkey. Don't do it. If I see someone in real life and I'm all like, oh, they're a really good friend of mine. Yeah.

Really, really good friend of mine and I knew it's your birthday. I knew the date top of mind. Yeah. Or it gets around the office at someone's birthday and I run into them. Those are the two times. I don't blanket message everyone on their birthday. Because remember back in the day, I'm talking maybe even like five years ago, probably, maybe sooner than that.

But around then it was like peak. As soon as it's someone's birthday, you're messaging them. It doesn't really matter if you're close or not. You're just like, happy birthday. More like Facebook walls, I suppose. And then then. that kind of branched out into Instagram and then people would reach out because you'd repost the stories and people would be very aware when it was your birthday.

Less and less of the Insta story shoutouts on your birthday these days. So, and just way less DMs on your birthday these days. So I feel like it's just a thing that people just don't wish Happy Birthday really anymore. And they're too really tight. I've kind of stopped posting people on their birthdays on my story. Yeah. I don't really do that anymore. Nah, yeah.

But I had to message a lot. I probably messaged someone every second day. Happy birthday. Really? Always. I think it's real, I think you remember it. Yeah.

If it's real random and comes across CD, don't. Just jump and go to my messages on my birthday, yeah, man. So how do you know it's their birthday?

If you've seen it on its back? No, nothing from you. You've done this gag twice for and I did wish you happy birthday. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I'll reply or go, oh, maybe you missed that person.

I'm got it's their birthday today. Yes. It's a good reminder. Good reminder. Yeah, I think it's nice. What's your take on re-sharing a birthday story for you?

So someone's put up a story It's about you It's your birthday And then you're resharing it I don't do it anymore I can't It's a hard It's a hard

It's hard Because the person's put in so much energy Because I just feel bad But I don't like I don't need to share that Yeah Like you've posted You've shared it

I need to go Oh look what they're sharing about me Yeah Yeah I'm the same as you I do that as well When I say that

I'm going This person wants Everyone tonight's their birthday No I don't think it's That's a Because you're reshering A birthday thing I don't think it's

Everyone needs to know this I think it's a Oh lovely thing about me. It's taken, you know, sometimes people are quite, you know, picky and not a bad way of, like, putting things on the Instagram stories. Like, not everyone does it. And so when people put it up and it's about you, it's like, oh my God, like, I need to show that I respect it. And I'm so grateful that you've, like, given up a minute of your day just to, like, give me some love publicly. So I'll repost it. I think it's being polite.

Yeah, it's been polite. But I think I'm polite with it, but now I'm just going, no, sorry, I still polite, I still care, but I'm just not going to repost it again. Yeah. Thank you though. You do a message, yeah, message. This is so nice. This is so lovely. But do you guys get what I mean a little bit where on some people's birthdays,

as you can see that they are making it evident that they want everyone to know it's their birthday? But I don't think there's anything wrong with that because I love a birthday. Do a birthday and you've got friends? I love a birthday. On some of his birthday, they're like, posting a lot about it. This is going to be the first birthday experience of both of you working with me. I have a birthday week and I am very, very passionate about making sure everyone is aware of it's my birthday.

You see birth weeks are crazy to me. Nah. I think that's a crazy thing. Nah, why? A week? Yeah. You get a day. You get one day.

I get a day and maybe either side. So I'm like, tomorrow's my birthday. And then I'm like, today's my birthday. And then I'm like, oh, yesterday's my birthday. Cheap me up because it's like. Well, that's normal. Yeah. No, a birthday ago, right, starting this week.

A week from now, it's going to be my birthday. Let me start celebrating now. Okay, no. I'm more of like a bat. Even boxing day. Birthday sits in the middle of the week. So it's three days prior, two days after. What day of the week is my birthday on?

I'll be so sad if it's the weekend and I don't get to see you guys. Yes, it's a Monday. Fuck. What month's your birthday, Harrison? You can have days off for your birthday, all right? Yeah. I'm in January.

Are you going to take the day off for your birthday? You're going to come in? I don't know. Fuck. You've had a birthday on here before? Hell yeah. Every single song we play is my pick. Oh my God.

Every single prize we give away is something that I like. Yeah. Birthdays really split people into two categories. You're either someone who loves your birthday and you want to celebrate and you love it or you're someone who doesn't want to make a fuss about it and you don't really like your birthday. You don't want people to kick up a fuss.

And I don't think there's too much middle ground there. You either love it, you're a birthday person or you're just not. Do you remember old boss Casey used to just hate his birthday? He'd like take it off because you just could not stand the amount of people who would talk to him about his birthday. He hates small talk though. You get a lot of that on your birthday. How's your birthday?

And it's so awkward if you like, see someone to say Sean I've turned up to work and you've forgotten it's my birthday and I'm like, hey shoo, like waiting for the... But it doesn't come and then it's like you have a chat and it's like a few minutes. It's like, oh I have a good day and staff kitchen or something. Okay bye, have a good day, okay, see her. And then later that person realizes

your birthday and they're like, oh I didn't say it's like the most awkwardest thing like realizing it's like oh no. I hate that energy. Yeah, I hate that energy. It's like, I'm going to say it, are they going to say it? And it's like, oh, it's come and then it's awkward. You've got to pretend that you always knew. You can't go to them the second time. No, I think it's up to

the person who's birthday it is to be like, hi Sean, and then if it doesn't come and then first like 10 seconds, it's like, how's your morning going, oh good, it's my birthday. You do have to be the person, you need to. Is it rude to say on someone's birthday, what did you get? Oh, as an adult, it's not a year. Conversation.

No, as an adult, it's fucking weird to ask that. Is it? Yeah. Because that's it, when you stop getting presents, like as an adult, you kind of stop getting presents. Maybe your partner buys you something, but if someone's single, maybe no one's buying them a present. What did you get?

It's such a 10-year-old question. Exactly. Well, Harrison just said it's all good. I just said, like, did you get any presents? Really? Yeah, just making chat. Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, I mean, yep, I don't think there's a rule about it.

I think that's a better way to phrase it. I love that we've all got three complete different takes on birthdays. It's interesting. What day on January is yours? Slash, are you on summer holidays during your birthday? I'm always on holidays, 14th. Oh, no, we might be back then. Yeah, probably.

Is that a Monday? Usually 20th, we're back. Let's have a lot. 14th is up Wednesday Yeah, we'll still be on holiday Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, okay
