This is a podcast from Rover.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey guys, welcome to the podcast.
Big show today.
We got an update on our mascot, which has gone missing.
The Edge Hedge, turns out someone stole it,
and they sent us a very cryptic voice memo.
Yep, you're going to hear all about that.
You're also probably going to cry a little bit in a good way
because just wait until you hear Harrison's harrowing story
of how he almost murdered someone last night with a toilet brush.
And was the work cleaner.
Oh my God.
Scary stuff.
Scary stuff.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Happy slide day.
I say that because hump day, Wednesday, slide day into the weekend.
Yay.
On the way.
Yeah.
Happy Thursday.
Yeah.
God, this week's gone quick, eh?
Or is that just me?
Or is that everybody else?
It's felt long as.
This is the thing.
Every week.
Every week, someone goes, has this week been so long?
And someone else goes, this week's been so fast.
It's the same time.
Same every wing.
No, you're right, it is.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, it's a true fact.
Hey, you should do a fact segment.
Oh, I do.
It's coming up in about 40 minutes.
You two both tried to kill it.
Do you remember?
We remember.
But you failed.
And it stays true.
Also, I think we've got an update on a mascot costume
that we spent a lot of effort on,
the edge, which went missing yesterday.
So sad.
Very stressful behind the scenes here at the edge
that we've got this missing mascot outfit.
Yeah, someone in the office saw,
it get taken.
Yeah.
Yeah, we'll be inviting them on as a
key witness into this because we are
getting to the bottom of it
if it's the last thing we do.
Well, it's crazy. It's not even a funny gang,
it's just quite a serious thing.
It's just random, eh?
And so we're kind of reaching out to see
as anybody's seen this happen.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's just a crime.
It's just a crime.
Poor edge, I'm really worried for it.
I know, there's big eyes
and his wonky teeth and...
Yeah.
Your Arvo's Head Harder

Yeah there's a thing got a notebook
Which, you know, you could bring in.
Notebook, name tag, newspaper, I guess.
And one of the years was a type of fabric.
You could have said nylon or netting.
Oh, nylon.
That's a tricky.
If you don't think of nylon, it's not a lot of houses there.
Yeah.
And of course, you corrected yourself after you said for the body part one knee.
Yeah.
Famously, that little silent K that gets people.
But you said neck in the end.
So there we go, Corey.
Hey, you've still won a hundred bucks, though, thanks to BNZ.
So thank you so much for playing.
Oh, really? Oh, thank you.
Yeah.
Thanks to BNZ, wherever you start from.
B&Z has the expert advice and tools you need at every step of your journey and easy money is back.
Same time, same place tomorrow.
Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
It's everyone's worst nightmare.
You've got a kindi pick up and your kid's not there.
Oh, just the thought of it.
So this is what's happened in Australia and Sydney.
A toddler has briefly gone missing from their daycare after a different kid's grandfather got the mixed.
up. He took the wrong kid home.
How do you take the wrong kid home?
So this parent turned up to Kinney to pick up their kid and they were like, oh my God,
where is my child? And then that's when the Kinney realizes what they've done. It's like,
oh my God, they're not here. Like they panic, they freak out. And then they check the CCTV
footage. And they see that another child's grandfather came in while the kids were sleeping.
and the room's darkened.
In a baby kind of scenario,
there's like a baby's room
and it's darkened
and that's where they nap during the day.
So the baby was asleep.
They have the same dummy
and they have the same colored hair.
And so this grandfather saw this baby
thinking it was his grandson
or daughter, it actually doesn't say.
And then
proceeded to pick the child up and sign out
and then leave.
You know what, I get it.
It's not his kid.
To me, all children do kind of look the same.
No, but it's like you don't have...
No, no, no, but you don't have...
Pick one, the mum's not going to know.
Same dummy.
This is outrageous.
And so they take this child back to their house.
This grandfather takes his random kid home.
Who's still asleep, kind of...
He says in this interview that he kind of realized something
was a little bit strange when he didn't feel that comfortable getting into the car seat.
Because it's not his car.
You're not his grandfather.
And then they take him home.
He's still really sleepy.
And the grandfather's like, he's acting a bit strange.
He's just really cuddly.
He's not himself.
He mustn't be well.
You know, the thing is, this kid will turn out all right,
because parents drop the ball.
It happens a lot.
I remember a couple times growing up,
I got left at school.
I didn't get abducted by another person's granddad necessarily.
But I had a few times where I was waiting outside school
and my parents didn't come for a couple hours.
Kind of forgot about little old Sean?
That's common.
Yeah, that's it.
And I'm okay.
You've turned out all right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Question mark, still on that one?
Definitely the question about there.
Upwards inflections.
I don't love that.
My parents have definitely dropped the ball.
My mum has dropped the ball so hard.
I almost died.
We're at like the Topol swimming pools and she was standing there talking to her friend.
I was three years old and then I just went under the water.
And I just remember standing in the bottom of the pool like scratching and gnawing at her leg.
And she's kind of hitting me away.
I'm going to, oh my God, Harrison.
I'm talking to this woman.
And I'm like, literally about to drown.
And I'm tired.
It feels like forever.
And then she pulls me up.
I'm like, ugh.
And then she's just laughing.
And they just laugh because they're in so much chocolate.
Oh my God, we forgot Harry was under the water.
And I'm literally coughing out water and crying and screams because,
oh God, Harry Shushabler.
You almost killed me, Mom.
Like, I always drowned.
Harrison, you're making a scene.
Literally.
There are people around, stop making a scene.
But it's like now looking back on it, funny, but parents, you do drop the ball a little bit.
We drop it a little bit.
We drop the ball.
And happy endings to the story only for this topic, please.
So 0,800 the edge or text to 3-343.
Ball droppings.
When did you drop the ball?
Or maybe you growing up, your parents...
Got dropped.
Yeah, your parents dropped the ball.
Exactly.
No, not physically.
We don't want to hear babies getting dropped stories, I don't think.
Right.
When did your balls drop?
Nah, definitely not that one.
So it's when did you drop the ball as a parent.
Maybe you're listening, you're the parent, or your parents back when you're growing up.
Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Seems like a lot of people want to text this in.
Not a lot of people want to call up and actually admit it on the 4.
fine. I guess maybe because then your parents hear at or...
I reckon we're all balls drop us though, aren't we?
Yeah. At some point in our lives, our parents have dropped the ball on us or as parents, we've
dropped the ball. Like, it can be a minor thing. I remember accidentally when my son, he's 16
months old now, but when he was just a little baby like three or four months old, we were out
enjoying the sunshine and I thought it would be cute. He was very interested in looking at hedges and
trees and sticks and stuff. And so I let...
Boy, do we have the mascot for him? I know. Well, we don't have gone missing.
But anyway, I let him.
and play with a stick.
And that lasted about five seconds before, I mean, don't ever give a baby a sharp object
because he scratched him his cheek with it.
And I'm like, good parenting, Steph.
Really clever.
That's not good.
Deplanately, you can play with sticks there, Steph.
Silly, funny, silly, silly.
It's not great.
We have an amazing text here.
Sasha said, my parents forgot to bring me home from swimming lessons.
Didn't notice until they sat down for dinner and Mama asked Dad where I was and they realized
they'd left me at the pools without me.
That's so bad.
So long.
To sit down for tea and they go, wait, where is Sasha?
My favorite thing about this is it's not that they've left them.
It's when they realize.
This was me, I get left at like primary school and stuff.
Growing up, it was the moment they realized.
It was like, where's Sean?
Oh, God, he's at school.
It's when one parent thinks the other parent has them, and then that parent thinks the other one.
It's like, oh, well, I just assumed you'd have that.
And as a kid, you go, excuses, somebody picked me out.
Someone's in trouble, and it's not me this time.
Right, let's go to the phones.
You can keep texting in those 3-33-4-3.
Chris from Farangare, your dad dropped the ball. What happened?
Yeah, he left me at Craft Club.
So, like, finished it like six at night, and when he didn't show up by seven, the teacher dropped me back home.
This is the thing. With these after-school classes, I remember, like, being, I used to teach guitar recreationally after school.
If the parents forget to bring the kids up, it does become your problem.
Yeah, and, like, speaking from a non-parent, how do you forget what your kid is?
Oh, my gosh.
Just text.
My child wandered off in a clothing store and proceeded to hang on the outside of the escalator
and went all the way up to the roof before the second floor.
And they had to drop because she had nowhere to go.
Ooh, no way.
I'm sure, I mean, we asked for an e-happy story.
Sorry, yeah, that's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay now.
Everyone was safe.
Really bad at the time, though.
Terrifying.
My mum forgot to collect me from the airport when I was 17, recently moved to Christchurch from Nelson.
I rang her to check on where she was.
She said, no, you're flying in tomorrow.
She said, no, mum, I'm here now.
It's deserted. That was the last flight. Come get me.
Jesus. Thank you, Chris, by the way, before.
And Kelly from Hamilton's here to wrap us up.
Did you drop the ball cow or was it your folks?
Oh, that was my folks.
My dad forgot me at his wedding reception when he married his new wife.
Oh, mate.
That's not harder when...
Yep, me and my sister.
It was approval, eh, with the new missus?
But I mean, if there was a place to forget your kids, I let it pass on a wedding day.
They've got other things.
He's getting married.
Come on.
How are we, though, Kelly?
I was two and my sister was five.
I'm going to project that comment.
I'm going to take that back.
I shouldn't have said that.
Take that back.
I'm sorry about that.
It's insane.
And isn't it crazy how these, like, humongous moments, and we were all so little when these things happen probably, you'll always remember them.
It's like hopping on a stranger's trolley in the supermarket.
You know, it's just ingrained in you.
It's just trolling in you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your Avos, Hit Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, here's a five-star fact for you, a little pre-fact.
Oh.
Post Malone got his rap name through a Facebook rap name generator.
Oh, like Childish Gambino.
Did he?
Oh, did he?
What was his one again?
Uh, it was some generator like that, Childish Gambino.
Yeah.
What was called?
I was thinking about Post Malone today while I was driving into the studio today,
listening to The Edge, obviously.
I was like, why do we call him a rapper?
Because he's a singer really, isn't he?
Used to be a rapper.
Now he's a country artist.
True.
He's changed a lot.
He's changed a lot.
Anyway, that is a prequel too.
Instant coffee was invented in Imbecargo.
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 five-star fact.
It is back, ladies and gentlemen.
Stefan Harrison tried to kill it, but they couldn't.
You were too great.
You came through with a five-star fact.
The segment remains, I will deliver a fact.
Harrison, Steph, Nurse Sam,
will rate it out of five stars based on the criteria,
originality, shareability, performance.
Today's fact is about typewriters.
If you're under the age of about 20 and don't know what a typewriter is,
it's like the original keyboard, but there was no computer.
It would just type straight on.
paper. So with a typewriter just before you get into
your fact, if you made a mistake, you can't go back, eh?
Just start again. Rip the page out, start again.
Yeah, I think you could go back like one letter.
Really? Not back a lot. I don't think you could even go about one letter.
Oh, maybe. Anyway, that's not the fact today. The fact is,
since 2004, there has been an orchestra made up entirely
of typewriters called the Boston Typewriter Orchestra. They've been playing
concerts, making and performing music using
only vintage tight priders. Have a listen to this.
Using the different sounds of the clacking, sliding cartridges, bells and spinning rollers,
they make the orchestra sound with no melody.
There's no melody that can be made with it, but there's like made up of seven typewriters.
They're all sitting there doing this.
This is cool.
Nurt.
I love this.
Let's make a song over it.
Let's put some lyrics down.
Oh, stop.
Oh, good.
Okay, you go on more.
Hang on.
Okay
Type writer
I'm making my news
With my sisters and my brothers
Um
Did I say
You go
Tight writer
Sisters brothers making news
Making news
It's really hard with the type of
The type of road
I'm only letting this fly
Because I really want that five-star rating
For both of you
But that was quite painful
I made a mistake
My typewriter
What do I do I can't delete her
Anyway
Okay
That's good
It's good
For me personally Sean
it's very musical theatre-esque
it's kind of something you probably just learn
and it plays something that you do
it's fun
it's cute
it's a cute fact
I'll give it a
I'll give it a two and a half
Why are you so difficult
Why are you so difficult
Who we're going to share that with
Guys guess what is an orchestra
They can do this in an orchestra
They can do this
Listen to this
Like cool man
That's what it gives
Producer's a new Sam
I think I give it a 3.5
What's the point of it?
A segment, kill it.
I loved it.
It was a five.
It was absolutely fantastic.
It was like barely a fact.
You go there to five stars.
It's not like a did you know kind of thing, but I really loved it.
I made a hot song out of that.
Barely.
Not fair.
You got them five stars.
I'm sorry, did you not hear me?
No, he's not even reacting to it.
Tap rudder.
She just gave you a five-star fact.
Yeah, I love it.
You don't even care about the second.
Well, I need three five stars for it to be a five-star fact.
And to be honest with you, I'm very thankful for Steph, because you two,
Simon Cowell, if he was.
Sporned with the devil
It's how difficult it is to get a five star out of you two
Typewriter, typewriter
I'm a reach of five stars
I wish I could reach you higher
Oh I love that
Your Avos Head Harder
With Sean, Steph and Harrison
The Edge
We went on a journey
We spent so much time
So much effort to create a mascot
The People's Mascots
Listener Kelly came on board
She created it for us
The Edge Hedge
Literal hundreds of hours
of mental effort put into designing this mascot,
listeners submitting ideas.
It's been made.
We were getting ready to make its debut later this week.
Then all of a sudden, it's gone.
Poof.
It is gone.
And I feel a bit bad already, just saying,
because it was my idea at the beginning
because I was thinking,
what I'm new to radio,
what hasn't radio done before?
And it was mascots.
And I pushed for it.
We got a budget from the boss for it,
and we got it,
and the studios want to do something with it,
It's now gone.
So I didn't kidnap this mascot, but I will say, team, I do feel a bit guilty, just from that.
Don't feel guilty, man.
Don't feel, unless you've done it, don't feel guilty.
Okay.
Yeah, why would you feel guilty?
Yeah, why would you feel guilty?
Ooh, no, no, I'm just saying.
No, I'm looking at you differently.
Well, no, I don't do anything.
Because you're expressing guilt and it's gone missing.
Well, they don't.
Why would you steal it?
Because it was your idea to have the mascot.
And then we challenged your idea.
We all came up with different types of the mascot.
Remember, you wanted a potato wedge.
Yeah, I wanted the head.
It was I that suggested the hedge
and then rallied a bunch of only fans
creators to get people to vote for it online
and you never wanted the hedge.
I think deep down you
were sick every time you looked at it.
This is what the Knapper wants us to do
and let us turn on each other and we can't leave that happen.
Now all we know
is our lovely edge hedge mascot
is not where we left it
and we have a key witness
making us believe it has been taken and kidnapped
and that is Jaden King.
Yes, hello team.
He's back in Alteiroa.
He was doing the old radio show right here on the edge last night.
Hell of a listen, seven to midnight.
Yeah, boy.
What did you see?
Well, first of all, I just want to say,
I was more of a gingerbread man fan.
Don't ever get started.
When it comes to the mascot.
But anyway, that's okay.
I can move on.
It's a very problematic mascot.
I can move on from that.
And the hedge, yes.
I was doing my show last night.
It was quite late.
Between the hours of 11 and midnight,
I was having a bit of a set.
snack, a cookie time, triple chunk.
And I saw
someone zip past with the hedge.
And I honestly just thought it was one of you guys, because I
thought, okay, they've come in, it's their
kit, so they obviously need it
for some way, reason.
And yeah, so I didn't even
say anything. I didn't even bat an eyelid.
I just, oh, there goes one of Sean Steadwell Harrison,
taking the edge hedge. They were wearing
black trackies, a black hoodie, couldn't see
their face, couldn't tell their gender, ethnicity,
nothing. They may as well have been
a shadow.
It's not funny
The way he said it was funny
That was funny
What's what time did this happen
Yeah
I said between 11 and 12
Okay
Okay
Key witness
Calm down
So this moment
We kind of thought that maybe
Like someone
had just taken it
Maybe the Clint Meg and Dan
We're gonna do something
A funny word
Or someone else was doing something
I thought it was you guys
Yeah
No
No understandable
Key witness
Just chill me
Sorry
What about a cleaner
Maybe one of the cleaners
Took her
Don't you dare
Acuse Sina
No
Of course not
Of course not
Yeah
Now, what we have yet to listen to is something that our producer, nurse, Sam, has been sent.
And she's not going to tell us what it is.
We're all going to hear this for the first time next.
Is it from my show, from 11 to 12?
No, but I did hear that you bit your tongue and you can barely talk.
Oh, no, it's not that.
You're only at night.
Okay, you know what?
No.
Our key witness is getting hysterical.
And I think we're going to get a little bit, a step closer next as to figuring out what the heck's happen to our edge-hedge mascot.
A clue?
Maybe a clue.
Really?
I don't know.
You're just, uh, you're pretty soon as Sam?
Is it a clue?
Um, I guess so.
I don't know.
It's freaky.
You'll figure, yeah, I don't know.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
I'm hooked.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
The People's Mascots.
We created a mascot for our radio show.
The Edge Hedge.
We came up with the idea.
You voted for it.
Listener Kelly made this mascot.
It was sitting there ready to go.
going to launch it later this week, then all of a sudden, it vanished.
If you missed it, we just had a key witness.
Jaden, who's been doing the Edge Night Show, he witnessed it gets stolen just last night.
So we know someone's taken it.
He said he couldn't make out who the person was.
They were wearing dark clothing.
He couldn't figure out a gender or an ethnicity, but he did see while he was getting
his cookie time from the vending machine.
A figure walking across the...
office holding the edge hedge.
Someone's come in last night.
He said around between 11pm and midnight
and taken it.
So late. Weird, eh?
Jane's like the only one who'd be in the office at that time.
It's just strange. Like someone who'd have
access to the building, someone who would want the edge hedge?
That is crazy to think that someone has to have access
to this building. Do you need like swipe cards to get in?
You need like, there's so many different parts of getting into this building that you need
the swipe card as well. Like it's not just one door.
Or someone let them in.
Troos.
I'm not putting one down either, but like,
we should reassess our security team, eh?
Well, it's got me...
It's pretty bad.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just Jade in here.
It's fine.
He'll be right.
True, yeah, yeah.
Well, was he?
Because the mascot just got stolen.
Oh, yeah.
He's not doing great, is he?
Well, I mean, there's CCTV.
It's CCTV.
We need to get that.
Thinking of security.
Like, why have we thought of that before now?
Like, there's cameras everywhere.
Okay, let's definitely go and talk about it in there.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good idea.
We can see who it is.
That might figure it out, but in the meantime, producer Nurse Sam,
you said you were sent a DM voice note from a random number.
Yes, I was.
And it's freaky as, and so enjoy.
Sean, Steph and Harrison, I have your mascot.
You will never, ever see it again.
And you'll never figure out who I am.
Ha ha!
Ha ha! ha ha ha!
What is happening?
Insane, right?
Who is that?
I have no idea, guys.
I literally no idea.
Yes, you do.
You obviously don't.
Why would I know?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Sam, that kind of sounded like you.
I hate not knowing things.
Was it you, Sam?
Sorry.
It sounded like a guy to me, but it did have a voice disguised.
This is one more time.
Sean, Steph and Harrison.
That's not someone's real voice.
I have your mascot.
You will never, ever see it again.
And you'll never figure out who I am.
So wait, is it just like a random Instagram account and just deemed us?
Are they following anybody?
Is there anything?
Any trails there?
Nothing.
They follow no one and no one follows them.
What the hell is happening?
Who's gone to all this effort to take our mascot?
Now we look bad in front of the boss because you can't do anything with it.
We're going to report back tomorrow.
But Sam, producer new Sam and us, I don't know.
if we've got any people that work for like no contacts and security here at the edge.
But we'll look at the CCTV footage.
Yeah, yeah, I'll call.
No, I know.
I'll talk to Rebecca.
She'll be out of.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got someone.
Yeah, I've got someone who knows someone.
We'll pull the footage.
This is so weird.
And if any of your list is playing tricks on us and you know someone who knows someone who can get in.
You've taken it too far.
You've taken this too far.
You can be a fan of the show, but this is too much.
Jess text in Sharon.
Sharon's not a good guess.
Sharon's not coming in at 11 p.m.
I work with Sharon.
You couldn't even get her to stay late.
She's not coming in at 11 p.
She has a card, though.
She knows how to get in.
Guy William, someone just said.
Could be Guy Williams?
Does sound like Guy Williams.
He's trying to promote his new Netflix show.
Seems like the kind of thing, crazy thing he'd do.
Who has beef with us?
That's weird.
That's weird.
We will get to the bottom of this in time.
Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, Sean here.
Hi, Sean.
I don't have many friends.
Hi.
No, it's okay.
You can laugh.
Because the reason is not, because it's not.
I'm like a super weird dude or I push people away.
It's because I am, you might be experiencing this as well.
If you're like around my age, I'm 30.
I have always kept small friend groups.
I've put a lot of effort the last decade into like three or four really good friends.
And then since COVID, they've all moved overseas.
Like it's a big thing right now.
A lot of Kiwis are moving to Australia to chase more money, moving to the UK to kind
of make up for that travel.
And I've found myself in the moment where I'm like, oh man, a lot of my mates I've spent a lot
of time on have gone.
and, you know, I've got my fiancé, which is amazing,
but you don't want to be that guy, you want to have other friends.
This is a classic case of that movie, I love you, man.
It is, it is.
With Paul Wright and Jason Segal, and he has no one to be a groomsman
because he doesn't really have any friends.
I'd like to think if I got married, did come back for it.
We'll see.
So, yeah, so I'm trying to be open about it,
because I think people are experiencing this,
and it's tough.
It's tough to make friends at this stage in your life.
Like, I only meet people through work,
and that's about it, social sport and stuff.
So when someone does come into my life,
you know, I'm trying to make friends with them.
So this happened yesterday,
I have a new barber,
who I'd only been to once,
and you guys put me up to this.
I really didn't want to do this,
but I called him,
I'll just, I'll be honest with you, man,
who's ripped the Band-Aid off,
I don't have many friends, right?
A lot of my friends have moved overseas, right?
I'm 30, everyone's guys.
Oh, I've gone off to the UK.
Somehow, Lewis, you've come the opposite way.
It doesn't happen very often.
Anyway, you're cutting up here the other day.
I'm like, I was feeling a bit of a vibe.
I don't know about you.
Yeah, absolutely, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, I'll save you the pain of listening to that.
You can catch yesterday's podcast,
I want to hear the full thing.
I invited him on a date, mate date, to go get a beer.
He was kind of awkward about it, understandably.
Up date on this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you invited him to come to your family home in Mount Monga Nui.
Yeah, well, that was you put me up to that.
To stay there.
Well, you asked it.
You didn't have to ask it.
Okay.
That's when he almost automatically hung up on the
So last night, update on this, after that happened and went to air, I tried to call him back
because he didn't know about that.
I called his barbershop and that was just live in the moment.
So I called him back and said, I wanted to apologise and say, hey, bro, sorry if that was super weird.
He's just new to the country.
I was like, sorry, I'd do a radio show.
That was a bit of a gag.
But I honestly, you seem like a great dude.
I'd be keen to get a beer.
Couldn't get hold of him.
I called him three times.
Could not get hold of the guy.
And off there we had a debate because Steph was like, yes, call him back, call him.
No, I was saying text him.
Oh, yeah.
But I was going, don't contact him.
Just leave it.
Next time you see him, you can joke about what happened.
But you're acting worse if you try and get in contact with him right now.
So last night, I tried to call him obviously from our radio show a couple times.
That didn't work.
Last night, I get a follow request on Instagram.
Okay.
And it's this guy.
It's the barber.
Fantastic.
He's followed me.
I follow him back.
Right?
Guys, didn't make the first move.
Incredible.
Huge.
Well done, Sean.
Well done.
I did this.
then message him.
Yeah.
Because I felt he'd follow me.
He'd reached out.
I've gone, hey, mate, sorry about that again.
Super weird.
I do a radio show.
The guys put me up to it.
All of it's true, though.
You seem like a good dude, so I told them about that.
They said, give him a call.
And he said, he was so good about it.
A couple laugh emojis.
No worries, mate.
Sorry, I was really busy with a client.
Yeah, kind of out of the blue, but totally keen to grab a beer.
Oh.
Guys, he's keen.
Also, another update.
This is really kind of sad to a bit on the radio.
But I have some friends that I've been trying to, like,
You know, I'm like, oh man, I'd love to get in with this friend group.
There's a group that I really like, and I'm kind of hung up with them a few times.
Yeah.
You know Nipia who produces the morning breakfast show?
Work group.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
It's him and his friends.
Oh, yeah.
Nipia and Kells flatmates?
Now, one of them lives with them, and then, like, another two mates that are friends with NEPIA.
Okay, okay.
And they, I've been trying to get in with them.
They're good guys.
I was like, oh, I need a bit of, you know, hang out with these guys.
And I'd always kind of initiate it myself.
And then today, big news, they said,
Hey, mate, someone has dropped out
to go to the All Blacks with us this weekend.
We thought of you, we thought Sean would be cool to come with us.
Do you want to come?
Yeah, what I go.
God for Sean.
Holy heck.
You're making some friends, mate.
Wow.
Well done.
That's so good.
I'll let you know how it goes.
But yeah, it's sad, but I think you've got to celebrate these things.
How do you feel to get invited to something?
It felt so good.
Honestly, like, you should make the humor of it.
Because you do invite a lot of people to things and you make effort.
And then when they're like reciprocal,
I'm not just like being the annoying guy
who's trying to like pressure people to hang out with them.
Anyway, Scott.
We're so happy for you, Sean.
Thanks guys.
Your Arvo's 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 Neighbours and the rest.
It's this New Year's Eve in Gizzy on the winery.
How good?
They'll be given challenges every day to do with one flat being eliminated
daily until we have a winner.
We've got three flats at this point.
Yesterday's challenge was to create an outfit out of things you wouldn't usually wear
and then do a public fashion show.
All three are up right now at the Edge Arvo's Instagram story
and all three absolutely killed it to the point where we're actually having a debate in studio
right now as to who we're going to get rid of.
Oh, a horrifically headed debate.
It's very hard.
All the flats have strengths and weaknesses
because it's like you're going to make a costume,
but it's also going to be public.
Some people made amazing costumes, but weren't public.
Some people were very public, but didn't have great costumes.
So it's actually very hard to decide.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, well, let's go through all of the flats.
Let's talk to Chicken Coop first in Dunedin.
It's a girl's flat, and Zoe is here from that flat.
Zoe, you guys came up with heaps of different costumes.
Talk us through it, each and every one of them.
Because I saw there was some address just that I love you, bro Hill, at R&B.
What other ones did you want?
Well, we kind of branched off from where we made our huge R&B set up on the first night.
So we had a couple of signs that we'd made.
We'd made a power sign.
I love you brohill sign.
We bought some flags.
We made a 1NZ sign.
So we've got these signs.
Let's make it more outfits like designs.
So we just continued.
We'd just art and craft and we had to get it done at night because two of our flightmates were leaving in the morning.
So we just like got through it at night and went out, yeah.
Because this is where we have to mark you down ever so slightly
just because it was filmed at night time
and there's not many people in the public who could see you.
But in saying that, those outfits, you can wear them to R&V.
Like amazing outfits.
Arguably, you can wear those to R&V.
Their flat had the best outfits but the least public.
I think the inverse of that was maybe meat or mate.
You guys had a grape, you made like a grape, a DJ grape outfit?
Amazing.
Because it's a rhythm and vines, obviously, it's a vineyard.
So it's great
I think their outfit was one of the best
But it was only one outfit
All the others did multiple outfits for it
Yeah but Minnie who's here from
Meet on May the Flat
You guys were super public
How many people did you think
You went in front of yesterday
I'm probably gonna say thousands
I'm gonna go that far
Thousands
Wow there's a lot of people down there
He went to university
Yeah you showed up and was like really
Yeah we went to uni
In the middle of it
Yeah I mean that's got to count for a lot guys
because they were in front of a lot of people
when that was a part of the mission.
Yeah.
And then the final option,
the Ladsflat, Horn Palace in Dunedin,
Eger, you guys probably did the,
I say the most public.
It wasn't as public as theirs,
but you guys were in the middle of a busy supermarket
having a sword fight,
dressed up like nights.
One of you was wearing a dress,
a damsel in distress.
I would say your outfits weren't quite as creative,
but you put yourself in harm's way.
Security probably wanted to check you out, I imagine.
Yeah, we got questioned as we learned.
but we thought, um, world wearable arts, let's get some recycling going, you know, green Kiwis,
and we thought we'd give you a bit of a story.
It was very theatrical.
I loved it.
Everyone listening can go and see all of these three videos on our socials, EJavos.
They were all good.
They all have amazing things and they all have flaws.
I think the boys' flat was the most embarrassing.
They embarrassed themselves.
I honestly think the girls flat before that with the grape, they had the most people see it.
But then the first girls' flat, Mead on May, had the most outfits.
They were the best outfits, but no one really saw them.
It's so convoluted.
It's all over the show.
We need another three minutes.
Really?
We need another three minutes, and as soon as this breaks over,
we will reveal who's been eliminated from Flat Wars.
Moravos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
We've still got our three flats on the line for Flat Wars.
At the end of this week, one flat will be getting full tickets to R&B.
Hmm.
You all right?
Sorry, I'm on the buttons and I can't find the fun thing.
It goes.
Bebe, be, beep, be, be, boo, flat wars.
There are three flats.
They had to do a challenge yesterday.
One's going to be eliminated right now.
They had to do a public fashion show with clothes that aren't clothes.
Like make it out of other things.
And you can see them now on Ed Jarvo's Instagram.
They all did such a good job that we're literally all arguing about who we want to get rid of.
I'll be honest, looking at that all, I want to get rid of the chicken coop.
Which sounds horrible.
They did the most outfits, but they did it at night.
It wasn't in public at all.
So this is the criteria.
You needed to dress up as R&V themed.
And I think the chicken coop absolutely nailed the brief.
They came up with a various amount of costumes.
They had a costume of the I Love You Bro Hill at R&V.
They had a Pals outfit.
They had a bunch of other R&V-inspired stuff.
They stuck to theme.
And it's not therefore the two of the flatmates had to leave this morning and get out of town.
They had to film last night.
They had no option.
So they were still in public.
It was just night time.
And for that, I think the chicken coop should stay.
I think the boys' flat should leave.
No, but like you said, the public thing,
the boys went to a supermarket that's open until midnight.
The girls could have gone to a supermarket and filmed something.
They could have gone to Maccas.
They could have gone anywhere.
The problem I've got with the boys flat,
and everyone, by the way, can go and watch these videos.
Edge Arvos on our stories right now.
And you might agree with us.
Hopefully you'll agree with me.
But the boys flat, they went to the supermarket, yes,
but their outfits were not R&V themes.
They were dressed up as coriander or something.
If you haven't seen it, they're not going to get this.
But basically, there's three flats,
all three of us want to eliminate a different flat is where we're at.
Yeah, we are.
Basically.
Because the grape one, meat or may, it's a grape.
It's a grape at a uni.
They were at the most public spot though.
They went all over.
They went all over the campus.
They were the best one.
Did look the coolest.
Yeah, okay, didn't look the coolest.
What do we do?
We decide this.
We can't agree.
So producer news, Sam has got the very hard decision of deciding who goes through to the final
the flat was the winning flat tomorrow will win free RMV tickets for all the flat.
So this is the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
But when I look at the brief and I actually critique the efforts
in all of the brief requirements,
I think we're going to have to say goodbye to the boys.
Oh, Sam.
Sorry, guys.
Sorry, Aggie.
Oh, that's all right.
I don't know.
I think we definitely heard the brief.
We were wrist and.
You were wristbands.
And improv in the supermarket as well.
Honestly, Aguie and the rest of the flat,
devastating news. But look, it was a tough
decision. So tough, we've had to, we've literally been
yelling at each other behind the scenes for half an hour.
So it was very hard. That was
incredible. Boy in fifth, four months.
Yeah, well done.
It was very tough. Sorry, guys. They made me do it.
slave Sam, guys.
All right. The Macon producers
Sam.
Your Arvos head harder.
With Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Right now, our flats are still on the line.
The Edge R&V.
Flat Wars.
We've got Zoe here from the chicken coop in Duned.
Welcome Zoe.
Minnie here from Hamilton.
Meet on May.
We realise we have not actually issued you the next challenge yet.
Sorry, we're dragging that out so long.
Such a debate on who are we going to get rid of.
We're fighting each other too hard, girls.
Sorry about that.
Congratulations.
Your flats are in the crew.
Yay.
Incredible job for the last challenge.
It was really amazing.
Really good.
And everyone else can go and see your work.
EJavo's on the stories right now on Insta.
But your fourth challenge is this.
You have to come up with a chant about R&V
and the edge and do it in public somewhere.
The bigger, the more public and the more outrageous, the better.
That is the brief.
Now, I know this is another public embarrassment, another public humiliation exercise, guys,
but it is the final one.
If you don't nail this one, everything you've done will be for nothing.
You see how tight we are with criteting and stuff, so literally give it you all.
Yeah, chicken coop.
No more nighttime stuff.
We need full public.
as many people as possible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We can do that.
You got this, guys.
We're touch base.
Same time, same place tomorrow
to see who makes it through to the new round
and tickets are on sale now.
Head to the edge.roba.com.
For all the details on R&V 2025-26.
Huge.
Guys, two more serious note.
I tried to help the cleaner
at our workplace after hours last night.
Hmm.
And I scared her.
What?
So after the show,
I stuck around a little bit, a little bit of work.
I was doing a bit of work
and I was going up for dinner after
so I was waiting around
pretty an hour and a half
and everyone in the office had left
apart from the nighttime host
Kreech
Jaden over there
but it was just me
and kind of the cleaner around
and I was like
you know what
before I go for dinner
I want to go lay a few cables
because I don't want to do it
in the restaurant
you know
so I go to the bathroom
oh no
I do my business
and then I stand up
and look behind my shoulder
and there's just
there's a little mark in there
and I'm like
I can't leave
that I've seen the cleaner. I can't leave
that for us. She's going to come in here next. Be so annoyed.
So I go, get the toilet brush,
brush, the bottom of the brush, you know, there's a little
hat at the top, a little round bit.
That falls off, and the brush of the brush falls into the toilet.
I'm like, oh, God.
I'm like, well, I'll pick it up. I don't want her to get it. I'll pick it up.
So I pick it up, screw it back on.
It's all good. I chuck it into
the toilet brush holder. The bottom
drops out into the holder, then I put the lid on.
And I walk away and go, that'd be fine. It's
in there.
But it's broken in there.
Well, then I turned back over my shoulder and go,
I can't leave that for her.
Because now she's going to have to reach it and screw that together.
Ooh.
And so I go, reach in, screw it back together,
falls back down.
I go, I'm like, I can't do anymore.
I wash my hands.
I look at myself in the mirror and I think,
I'm going to have to tell her it's broken.
So I get the toilet brush.
And I leave the bathroom.
And I'm walking down the hallway with the toilet brush.
That you just used.
Yes.
Why?
Don't take it with you.
Don't take your word for it.
I'm just caring too much about the situation.
And I was like, oh, it's dripping.
I'm like, oh gosh.
So I get literally.
You'll believe you, bro.
Literally.
So I get paper towel.
I go back, get paper towels.
I wipe the floors and then I wrap paper towels around the brush.
This is like it sounds like a lot, but I just got so hyper fixated on not letting her down.
She's a very lovely lady here.
And so I've got walking out now with a brush wrapped in like tissue paper.
And I'm walking down the hallway.
And at night, when it's like closed in this building, all the lights are out.
That's spooky.
And you walk and then sensors turn on the lights.
And at the end of this hallway is the cleaner.
And I'm at the other end.
And so I yell out, hey!
And she looks, like, scared.
This is true.
This is true.
And it haunts me.
And I'm running, but I'm running so fast.
The lights are so delayed that they turn on behind me.
So she can't see anybody just to see.
just a silhouette of a guy with a toilet brush
like wrapped in toilet paper, I'm like, hey,
and she literally goes, no!
Wait, wait, stop.
Did you just say she said, no?
She goes, no!
Our ball cleaner!
And jumps backwards, I'm like, no, no, the toilet brush goes, no, no!
I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!
And I just back away and just find a bit and just chuck it in the bed.
I'm like, I was just trying to help you.
How haunting for the poor cleaner!
She thought Noam was in the office.
Then his meat rang down with a toilet brush and,
Hey!
The light, doof, do, do, do, do.
Oh, no.
I wonder why I hadn't seen her around today.
I thought I haven't seen her today either.
She didn't sleep last night.
She's traumatized.
That is a logo, man.
Just put it in the bin yourself in the place.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
All right.
Coming up next on the show,
the blind ranking, the Blind 5.
Nurse M has found five things
We've got to rake them
No!
The fear in a voice
Today's theme, fictional couples
Death by toilet brush
Oh
Your Avos hit harder
With Sean, Steph and Harrison
The Edge
Time for the Blind Five
This is where we blind rank
Five Things from a different category
Today we were thinking
This summer
I turned pretty
Oh, such a good show
Probably the biggest show right now
Huge episode last night
No spoilers
But
It's getting icy.
Are you on it yet, Steph?
Doesn't Conrad like die in last night's episode?
No, that's not what it was.
No, don't suppose.
If you get like, he gets like rabies or something from a monkey?
Don't spoil it, Steph.
Cutty inside into this.
Harrison and I are both watching this very heavily chick flick show and you're not watching it.
Nah, I just, I'm not interested in shows about like teenagers dating.
I don't know, it's weird to me.
Yeah, I just got to the end of the first season.
It's all weird.
But I'm into it.
Nurse Sam's prep this, so we don't know what's to come.
What's today's theme?
Today's theme is fictional movie couples.
Oh.
Okay, so it's a big, this show's all about, like, Team Conrad, Team Jeremiah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so you've got different clips here from different movies.
We'll play it.
Figure out who it is and then blind rank them out of five.
Yes, definitely. That's it.
Clip number one, guys.
Have you never done this before?
Well, not myself, but I know other people that have.
Now Harrison won't know who that is because he's never seen.
You've never seen Friends.
That is the iconic couple of Ross and Rachel.
Okay.
Now here's my thing.
While iconic, they break up so many times.
So many times.
So many times, so many times.
They're together.
They're not.
They were on a break.
They weren't.
Five.
I think so too, because I hate Ross.
Oh my God.
What is the greatest character?
Oh my God.
Are you serious?
Are you joking me?
He just moaps around.
He's got no personality.
It's been like critical analysis of who's the greatest character on Friends and Ross always comes out on top.
If Ross was in my friend group, I'd have to let him go.
No, but he's done, we'll get into this.
He's only in there.
You're still trying to find a friend group.
So don't let him go.
Hold on tight.
Okay, beggars can't be chooseless.
But even I would let Ross go.
He's only in there because he's brother with Monica.
Let's go for.
Let's go for.
Let's go for.
That's lucky because I only know these guys.
Okay.
Couple number two.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were going back to Australia.
We had to change a plan.
Oh, is that Danny and Sandy?
Yeah.
Nice.
Is that grace?
Yeah.
Hate that.
I mean, it's a bit.
toxic, isn't it?
Super toxic.
It's a movie from the 60s, right?
But it's set early than that.
But I think it was filmed in like the,
oh, maybe later than that.
But she...
It's crazy to say I haven't seen it.
What happens?
Why is it toxic?
It's a great musical, awesome music,
but the character of Sandy
completely changes her personality
to build the guy.
It's like the worst message ever.
Like at the end of the movie,
she's a complete different person.
Oh, five.
Yeah, toxic.
Yeah, toxic.
Yeah, yeah.
Danny and Sandy number five.
Great dancers.
Yes.
We've filled the bottom two,
though, so crazy you can't slip will come
throw.
Uh-oh,
uh-oh.
How old are you?
17.
How long you've been 17?
A while.
That's Edward Cullen and Bella from Twilight.
That's number one.
No way.
No way.
It's so controversial.
He's been 17 for like 300 years.
He's a disgusting old great, great, great, great, great, great, great-grandfather who's
like sleezing it up with a sculch.
It is so gross.
Yeah, but he sparkles when the sun shines.
And I guess the alternative is.
the guy that turns into like a hairy werewolf which could kill you.
I reckon two or three, not one.
Yeah, definitely not one.
Can we go three?
Okay, fine.
Three, three.
So we've got one and two here.
Oh, I didn't mean to suggest, uh...
I just don't know who I have without you.
Oh, is that a notebook?
Sorry?
What did your mouth?
Barbie and Ken.
Oh, Barbie and Ken.
Oh, too.
Doesn't she end up single at the end of the movie?
Yeah, they don't end up to get...
Because he's really dumb?
Yeah.
And also, she's like a boss, babe, and she can do it on her own.
It's not number one, is it.
We'll go number two.
Which means by default versus the number one.
Yes.
Yeah, what do you want?
My husband by my side.
Do you know what?
Respectively.
They deserve to be number one.
They're a beautiful married couple, Homer-a-March Simpson.
They go through the ups and the downs.
There's a lot more downs than there are ups.
But you know what?
They always end up together and their love for each other never crumbles.
Yeah, and all the stuff they do, and you know what they do on the Simpsons, those two?
They always have the sexual chemistry.
Have you noticed that?
They always get the Sikhs engine.
It was like, God, you two.
Doesn't he strangle her, or is that just Bart?
Bart, yeah, he does abuse his son.
Come here, homie.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, wow.
Why is that doing it for me?
Oh, homie.
Okay.
I'll invite my sister's Patty and Selma over to have a really good time.
You will probably wrap that up.
Thank you, Sam.
That's good.
That's probably good.
Great job, Sam.
That's good.
You're avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
I'm jumping back on the stand-up comedy stage tonight, guys.
I haven't done stand-up in a wee while.
And I've not really ever tried jokes on the show.
You guys always push me like, Sean, come try some jokes.
It's just crazy because you talk about being a stand-up comedian,
but you've never done a joke on air, mate.
Well, that's the thing.
It's hard to do a joke, isn't it?
Because, you know, especially most comedy jokes,
they're not really short one-liner, so they don't work for radio.
Also, you guys are incentivised to see me fail,
which is quite funny to listen to.
but I don't love putting myself in that situation
because no one will actually come see me do comedy.
But today I'm going to do it, guys.
I've written some one line of jokes,
some of them probably are inappropriate,
which is why I'm doing them at this time,
and I thought I'd run them past you guys
before I try them out at a comedy night.
This is huge.
This is a big moment.
This is huge for you to do this.
You've never done this.
Yeah, no, it's just one line as once again.
It's something a little bit different.
I'm going to get some post notes.
I'm going to do, like, you know,
gymnastics or whatever,
I'll Apollo at the moment,
go on the vote for who you think would be the best gymnast.
They give scores
I'm going to give live scores
Live it, live scores
Harrison, you're emceeing the comedy night
Please welcome me to the stage
Give it up
For an up and coming comedian
Dr Sean Hill
Good evening, New Zealand
Hello
I went to Kmart
And said I'm having Lydia Coe's sister round
For a cup of tea later
And need a new kettle
The sales assistant replied
Anko
I said I believe her name's Sarah
I don't get it
No, okay
Can you please start through that one again?
I'm having Lydia Coe's sister around
For a cup of tea later and need a new kettle
The sales assistant replied
Anco?
I said no I believe her name's Sarah
Anco
It's a joke because her name's Co
and then there's a brand
Ancoe, to be honest
Haven't yet? It's the Kmart brand
Oh, okay
It's out of 10 isn't it?
It's a two.
It's a two. It's all right.
All right.
Joke number two.
I reintroduce myself every single time.
It's just a thing I do.
Hey, did you hear that cornflakes were invented
to stop men from playing with themselves?
Didn't work on me.
I love corn flakes.
I like that one.
I like that one.
I don't know.
Yeah, okay.
I like that one.
Okay, all right, next joke.
660 just got announced a headline
Homegrown in Hamilton, which is ironic,
because Hamiltonians think,
don't forget your roots is about keeping track of sexual partners
to trace back the chlamydia.
Yeah.
Lo-hanging fruit.
There's a nurse and shaking her head.
They did, and they were the clap capital of New Zealand.
Yeah, I think they got overtaken by a little Palmie North action.
But that's a four from me.
I didn't hate it.
All right, the next one is, hey, you know the Black Ferns?
Currently the Women's Rugby World Cup's going on.
I hear they're struggling because the players keep getting injured,
and they're trying to find you players.
And I heard that a coach was up on Kay Road the other day looking for a new hooker.
Nice.
So if you're unfamiliar with Auckland,
That's where the sex workers are work.
It's an 8 out of 10 for the stage.
I will not be trying any of those in my comedy show tonight,
but thank you for being a wonderful audience.
Appreciate it, guys.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Yeah, don't do any of those.
I didn't hate the Corn Flakes one.
Yeah, that was a good one.
When I first heard of Pokemon, I thought it was how Jamaican people wake each other up.
Can I say that one?
No.
I think you can say that one.
Get Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Now, yesterday on the show, we talked about a news story where a woman in the States opted to spend 20 days in prison instead of spending two years on probation, which was an option she was given.
So it started a fun little game of us doing a Would You Rather?
I think we all said we'd rather do the 20 days in prison, right?
Yep.
No, I decided on probation just because it's a good excuse to get out of everything.
I've got a new one today.
I think this is, I think this will divide the room.
Today's what you rather is
Would you rather have an obsessive, insane person
Love you or hate you?
So either way you've got this person who's obsessed with you
They won't leave you alone
Would you rather them obsessively love you or obsessively hate you?
Oh gosh, that's...
I think I'm going to go first and I'm going to go hate
Because I think they'd leave you alone a little bit more
You can easily convince them
To not be around you
Hate.
The loved one, that person
is following you.
Yeah.
Yeah, but like imagine.
Like I just watched it.
Oh, what's the documentary?
It's a documentary on Netflix right now.
It's like number one.
It's all about like catfishing.
Like these two teenagers get catfish and they get hate messages for over like a year.
And it is the most horrible thing ever.
And the messages are disgusting.
Like imagine getting those messages every day.
True.
Like I'd rather than be like, like, oh, it's called an unknown number of the high school catfish.
Go watch it.
It's insane.
Oh, that's sad.
True.
But imagine those messages horrible.
probably rather love you, love ones.
Yeah.
I love you. You're amazing. Oh my God.
Obsessive, but it's better than, you know, do something harmful, blah, blah, blah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, not cool.
Yeah, not cool at all.
So I'd go love.
See, I, my first impression is I'd rather the hate, but then now I'm back thinking maybe
that would be the, yeah, I think I would actually rather the love.
Although, John Lennon's biggest fan in the world killed him.
He was obsessed, he loved him so much, and he was the one that killed him.
Really?
Yeah.
I already die?
He got shot?
By fan.
By fan.
Why'd they shoot him?
Because he loved him
He just wanted to feel connected to him
So he shot him
Is that the real story?
Yeah, yeah
He's in prison
What?
Yeah
I didn't know that
Yeah
Do you guys want another one?
Okay
Is that as deep
No it's not as
This one's light as
I was gonna try to get past
That one quickly
Okay
Oh okay
Okay
Would you rather own a rhino
The size of a hamster
Or a hamster the size of a rhino
Oof
I'd rather a miniature rhino
It's so cute
Yeah cute
Yeah so cute
Try a hamster though
Can you imagine
The guinea pig that we saw
in Otago at the needle
at the size of a what, a size of a rhino?
Yeah, absolutely, rhino.
Absolutely.
Would you rather dinosaurs were real and existed right now?
No.
Ghosts.
We'd all be killed.
We wouldn't last a second if dinosaurs were on Earth.
Are you joking me?
Is anyone in the Rosa World?
Yeah.
Are you joking?
Preaches everywhere you go.
Yeah, ghosts.
This is a funny one.
Would you rather your food always be a little bit too spicy?
No matter how you get used to the spice,
it will always be just slightly out of your spice zone,
or you've got no knees.
Oh, a little too spicy.
What are these?
But everything for the rest of your life is too spicy.
It's uncomfortable.
Absolutely.
It's so skinny.
I'm like, oh, I probably wouldn't have enough.
That sounds good, actually.
We should rather be so hot and have diarrhea for the rest of your life
or be not very attractive,
but you never get diarrhea ever again?
You're asking the wrong people?
Yes.
Do not ask us that.
Do you both already have that?
Yep.
You know how those head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison?
The Edge.
You know how people say, guess what?
Guess what I did?
I did something for the very, very, very, very, very first time in my whole life.
Very first time?
Very first time.
And I genuinely want you guys to guess.
Guess what I did.
Oh, I'm going to guess what's quite trendy right now that a lot of people are doing is ice baths.
So you want a bit of a health journey?
I imagine you've done an ice bath.
Nope.
Have I done an ice bath?
No, I've done an ice bath.
for it was like for a heart challenge years ago.
God, they're awful up.
Everyone's going on about the health benefits.
It's for charity. Oh yeah, charity's good.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to say drive with your knees.
I do that all the time.
Do you?
Yeah.
You shouldn't do that.
Well, if it's a straight line.
You've got a child on the back side.
And you've got a good YouTube video going.
Then, no, no, no.
Yeah, I get you in that actually.
What did you do for the first time?
Yeah, okay, I'll give you a clue.
Harrison, you're very into this.
Oh.
Tap dancing.
Sure.
I'd say you're pretty into it too
and I think you'll both be proud of me.
Oh God God.
You watch the summer I turn pretty?
No, God, no.
You've been walking in the treadmill.
I have been doing that but no, that's not what I'm talking about.
Harrison's really into it.
I'm a little into it.
I'm really into it.
What's Harrison into?
I'm a little into.
What do I like doing?
Watching TV?
He likes movies, cinema.
What else do you like?
Acting?
Does I do with acting?
Sabrina Carpenter's album?
Nope.
Dancing.
Nothing to do with puppets.
You like puppets?
Do you?
Do you?
What's your favourite puppet?
I had a crocodile.
I got a crocodile puppet.
You've got a puppet.
I've got like 20.
Usually when people ask your favourite puppet
I expected you'd say like a well-known one.
No, I've got my puppets.
Oh okay, I didn't know.
I thought you were going to say Kermit or something.
Sorry, how are we nine months into a radio show and you haven't launched a segment where you're a puppet?
Yeah, I've got a box of puppets at home.
You've got to bring them out.
Like a container of puppets.
Yeah, they've got to come here.
I'll bring one next time.
We need to be.
Can show them off, we'll do a few breaks with them.
Okay, what does Harrison love at Steph's done?
What are they at puppets do you have?
Got a giraffe, a monster called rascal,
got a monkey, got the crocodile.
They're all puppets.
You can put your hand in them.
They're all puppets.
I got a marionette, which is a clown.
Floppy.
Oh, scary.
You don't want that.
He's a defying clown.
Clown?
Why do you, why?
I slight them as a kid, though, are real cool.
My favorite of his kid was puppets, magic and dancing, probably.
God, it checks out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's so cute.
It's cool, though.
Makes you a bit unique.
Yeah, so any of those things?
No, no.
But back to that.
Did you like magic growing up?
Love magic.
Oh, I always wanted to marry a magician.
Oh, I loved it growing up.
You don't like it anymore?
Not really.
Because you know what?
My parents moved houses when I was at university without telling me.
So they moved houses.
And I used to have like a weekly magic subscription.
And I get a magic box into my house.
And I literally had like 50 magic kids.
Like so many.
It was so cool.
And when we moved houses,
my dad threw them all in the bin.
Tom!
He threw them all the way.
And so I've never really touched a wand again.
She's traumatized.
You know, we're out of time.
You have to tune in to our podcast to hear what Steve's never done.
I don't know, no, there's build-ups.
I went to the library and I put my name down to rent a book.
I've never been to a library.
No, neither have I.
Can't see it out.
You like reading.
True.
It's the housemaid sequel.
Oh, no.
Bravo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, I hope you enjoyed the podcast.
This is the outro, a little bit extra.
If you missed it, a little bit not safer work sometimes.
That's Sharon's podcast.
We can't say that.
Yes, we absolutely can talk about that.
No, we said this is a little bit extra.
This is not.
This is the Edge of us podcast.
Can we just use this opportunity to talk about Sharon's podcast,
who obviously used to host the show?
It's so, so good.
Everyone needs to go and listen to it.
Genuinely, and I'm just saying that because she's my friend,
But I feel like there was a space missing in New Zealand
podcasting media where it's just like your mate talking to you
and you feel like you're one-on-one.
She's just like telling like great stories.
And it's just really, really, really good.
So everyone needs to go and check that out.
Yeah.
But it's just asked that just the girls uninterrupted here.
That's another podcast.
Steve, what's happened to you?
Sex, she had sex.
Not another podcast.
Oh, gosh.
So bad.
Gosh.
So I have been
For a top secret project
That we shan't talk too much about
But we've been sliding into some
DEMs on Instagram
To some people that we look up to
Things like that
Don't worry everybody listening
It'll all make sense the next few weeks
Promise
But there is someone who is a big media
Media personality
And TV host who is from the UK
And I slid into her DMs
about this secret project
and about how would you like to be on the show
and how I'm a big fan
and how I think she's amazing
and all this stuff.
Nice, nice.
And she responded and I've been too scared to check
I saw a notification.
So who it is?
Her name's Angela Scanlan.
Who is that?
She's an Irish personality in the UK
and she does a podcast with Vicky
who's to be on Geordy Shore.
It's a new podcast and it's really great.
And she hosts one of my favorite shows.
I'm obsessed with DIY
house do up shows and she
host that one that you put the reality headset
on and you can see what the architect's designed
for you. Oh wow, I haven't seen that. It's really good.
Anyway, it's called like my perfect
garden, my perfect house or something.
Your garden made perfect? Yeah, that's it. That's it.
Robot Wars? Stratly come dancing. She's pretty famous.
She's really famous. What's Robo? I'm intrigued by Robot
Wars. Same, I haven't heard about that one. But
she has responded and I always saw
a notification and I've just clicked into it
and guys, it's not good.
No.
Guys, look
at the length of my
message to her.
Huge.
Look at the length of the message
she's just written to me.
What's your eye?
Hey.
She wrote Hey with four explanation marks.
That's fucking huge.
Hey!
She's like, hey!
No.
Stop.
Nothing more.
Do you think the rest is coming?
Hey!
And then she's typing the rest.
Do you think she's typing right the second?
100%.
Like right now she's typing to me.
Well, does it say she is?
Nah.
I'm okay, maybe not.
Maybe she's going to get back to it.
Does that happen on Instagram?
can you tell us one's typing on Instagram
on EKin on Facebook
Maybe you can't on Instagram
Let's just hope and pray
Go out of it
Go out of it and back into it
And just see it'll be
You know like
Nah, she was active six minutes ago
Fuck yeah there we go
She was like
She would say type out
We're all we're doing this
Just DMing random people
And it's hard
It's embarrassing to send a wild DM
It's so embarrassing
But I've been seen
By a couple people
It's so random
She just said hey to you
With four exclamations
Yeah I reckon she's gonna follow
That it's real random
I hope so
Because while she would like, you know, if people message me,
yeah.
Like I get requests.
I don't just reply and go, hey.
Yeah.
I'd leave it if that was the case.
Yeah, you'd just not reply at all.
Or respond to what they were saying.
I put in our Instagram handle, the EdgeNZ,
so maybe she's there checking it out, seeing if I'm like legit before she, like, responds
properly to my proposition.
Yeah, and she'll have to like, you know, when you look at that stuff,
you can see it all without accepting that you've actually seen it.
Yeah, yeah.
So you have to accept it.
Accept it.
And then go, right.
So, you know.
What if I became friends?
Angelus Candler.
Fuck, you're about to.
Head of yourself.
You're about to.
No, because you've done this before.
You've got to hit to yourself.
What was the time, last time you,
you deemed a celebrity, and they replied to you?
And then you offered to hang out with them, and they ghosted you.
No, no, no.
So I've deemed Shane Mitchell so many times, and she's always just like,
not seen it.
Well, she saw it once and replied.
She's so too cool.
She's so too cool.
But, you know.
You asked to hang out with her.
She said, I'm in town.
Do you want to get a coffee?
Yeah, this was years ago.
I was in L.A. to interview.
Wolf Farrell, I think, which was pretty cool.
That's so funny
She's a celebrity
This never met you're no fucking
She's a fucking
No but you know when you feel a connection
With a celebrity
You just know you'll be good friends
But you don't want to be like
Hey we'd get along really well
Hello
But you know that you would
But you can't be that crazy
Because then you just ruin your chances
Yeah
I'm I ruin my chance every time
Every single time
We should do a break in that on the show
It's more like how to message a celebrity
And be cool
Just all have a go
Because I've got an approach
On how I'd message somebody
You're good at it
because heaps of actual celebs follow you.
So you must be quite good at that.
But I have to message people.
I messes them before.
Right.
I've been an approach about a deal.
I think we should all bring forward our approach
about a message to everybody
and see if one of them replies to us.
Let's do that.
I mean, you probably messaged most of them now today.
You know, back in the day, like years ago,
I was so embarrassing
and this would be horrible if you guys bring it up to her,
but you know her.
You know Ash London who's filling in for Meg's maternity leave
on the breakfast show at the moment.
No.
I...
No.
She's our work colleague
She's our work, mate
Is it funny because I don't know Ash like this
I know, Steph, Fang Girls of Ash
And so does our old co-host
I never really knew who she was until she started working
So she's just Ash from the office for me
No, she's one of the greatest broadcasters
On Planet Earth
She is without a doubt the best interviewer ever
And years ago
I just looked up to her still do
But really looked up to her so much back in the day
I was in the night show here on the edge
And she was on the equivalent night show
Over in Australia
And I just thought she was so amazing
We actually, I think maybe on that LA trip or a different LA trip, we were both there, and I was like so scared to talk to her.
She was so cool and I was like this lame frizzy-haired freak from New Zealand and she was just like this like amazing person.
She's a frizzy-head freak from Australia.
No, but I was so...
You guys actually, looking from the outside, you both are very, very similar.
I know, but I was just like so scared.
I'm actually quite shy and it comes off as standoffish, but it's not.
I'm actually quite shy.
So I was a bit too scared to talk to it.
Anyway, so I like, this was after that trip, but I was...
I reached, I tweeted her, like something really complimentary,
and I don't think she saw her.
And then I reached out to her manager.
Oh, wow.
Oh, no.
Not the fucking word you want for the manager.
Just to be like, hey, I think.
She hasn't replied yet.
Just checking in.
You can't remember.
I think it must have been like, hey, I just think Ash is wonderful.
And if she ever wanted to, like, be on the show,
I don't even, I don't remember what the conversation was.
But I never heard back from the manager either.
It's not bad.
It's funny that she now works with us.
You know what, Steph, I've got a contact,
and tomorrow I'm going to make the stream a reality for you.
We can talk to Ash London.
I know how to get hold of her.
Hey, guess what?
And it's not only that I say hi to her every day when I come to work.
We're mates now.
It's all good.
I'm a bit more chill these days.
But you guys did one of your episodes of her podcast here, though.
Yeah, like we messengers.
Like, we're friends.
So look at, yeah, look at you.
For me and Angela Scanlan, it could happen.
And if you talk...
No, it's not, couldn't.
She's not a radio host who's going to move to New Zealand and work with you.
Anyway, guys, it's fun to dream and sometimes your dreams come true.
