Yeah, they're supposed to be called. in and around what, producer nurse Sam like 30 minutes from now? Yeah. Jeez, this is getting out of control.

I feel like, because I hate the idea that he's kidnapped. I like that he's going to give us $500 to whoever can guess who the mascot is. But I'm not comfortable with him being in here, and I feel like I'm going to get a bit angry. He's not going to get a bit angry. Sorry, over the phone. I'm going to be angry with him on the phone. You're fine. I don't know if I want to talk to him on the phone.

I think you guys are going to have to do that. Yeah, I know. Because I get a bit ragey with that kind of stuff. Harrison's taken the stealing of the edge hedge hedge hedge hedge. mascot very, um, quite bad. I'm shocked that you haven't, Steph. Yeah. My nickname in high school was Justice Keith, because it was all just about justice.

I just want justice. You'd be a good lawyer. I'm a great lawyer. Well, you would be a good lawyer. I studied law. I am an amazing lawyer. Okay. Legally, you're not, you just, it's important to me that you know that legally you're not allowed to practice law.

Legally, I am a lawyer though. So that's okay. Go and catch up on the clues. Edge Arvo's on Instagram. And yeah, we'll see what the culprit has to say for himself at 330. But you can text in Hedge and your guess on who. stolen the HHH mascot to 3343. Idiot. Sorry.

Me? No, the Hedge. I'm just already getting angry about him. Your Avos Hid Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The Edge. If you've never played before, the way this works, we'll give you a letter between E and Z, hence the name. 30 seconds on the clock, 10 questions. If you answer each one with a word or phrase starting with that letter, you will win $1,000 all thanks to B&Z.

All righty, let's play with Mike. Welcome to the show. You're from Waikowaiti, and you've got some fun plans if you were to win $1,000 right now. What would they be? Guadda. Oh, I'd be getting into surfing. So buying a board would be a star in a wetsuit. So that would be my goal.

Yeah, it's pretty good, Michael. I do a bit of surfing on the weekend. Well, I do a long serve on the weekend, but every morning I do back about 3 a.m. And just catch some barrels, really. I kind of barrel it, kind of fin it, and just really really roll. I can roll my life really with a bit of surfing so it is a good investment I reckon Mike and I can take you out and show you

a few tips and pointers here and there if you're free at three a year most days. Do you live an hour from the beach and you've never mentioned that you surf before? I love to surf. I'm a big surfer. Harrison, look at me and my eyeballs. Do you surf? Yes, I surf. I do surf. I got rid of my dreads like last year. I love surfing.

Well, that's cultural appropriation. There's ginger dread, so it's okay. Here we go. All right, Mike. Here are the rules for easy money. Let's try and get you a surfboard. Okay, dokey. 30 seconds. Your letter will be O. O for office.

O for Oval, which is kind of the shape of a surfboard. Offshore. Offshore? That's great. O for Oakley, which is a brand of sunnies. You can rock out on the board there. No, you don't wear studies on a surfboard, Sean. You can't.

That's the rule. It's the one rule in surfing. No way we're allowed. Remember that, Mike. I know you're a newbie at this, but yeah, crucial, crucial rule there. All right, so. I want Harrison's surfing tips coming up, yeah. You'll have 30 seconds.

Oh my God, can we? Okay, that's what's happening next on the show. Your letter's O. You can't repeat any answers there, Mike. And your time will begin when I finish saying the first one. If you get stuck, you can say pass, and we'll hopefully have time to get back to it, okay? Are you ready?

I'm ready. Here we go. For a thousand bucks. Please name for us with a letter O, something a bank can help you with. Uh overdraft Something you can eat

Orange Something you can wear Uh overalls A water creature Uh Ombus A brand Oakley

A song title Uh Only Girl A full letter word A shape Oval An occupation A donkey service

Oh that's insane Far out. What was the 10th one? It was going to be a movie. Oh, movie, Ocean's 11. Yeah. He would have got it. Although I don't think he would.

Oh, no, he is. Stephen Sanchez has a song called Only Girl. Because I think the song you were thinking of was Only Girl in the World. But Only Girl is a song by Stephen Sanchez. So congratulations, that was. Yeah, that was the one I was thinking of. That's okay, bro. We are going to give you $100, all thanks to BNZ,

who believe there's an artist starting something. you in like any art form you need the right tools to make it work. So 100 bucks, that'll get you a bit of a wetsuit. I might give me the ankle strap or whatever. Yeah, pretty much. Oh, yeah, very important. All those cute little rock shoes. You know, treat yourself, Mike.

Water shoes. The options are endless. Yeah, you meant you should go out and flippers. So actually wear flippers when you surf. You know, we wear flippers when you surf? Do you? It makes you way faster. Okay, so we've all learnt something here.

We've learned that Harrison's a surfer, but he's also got another hobby that we're about to learn about as well. Harrison has no idea what is happening next is about to happen. What? I don't know what's happening. Bro to yourself. Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Guys, it's spring. I was doing a bit of a josh up at home, and I came across some things that I think will make you both very, very happy. I'm just going to reach. Do you get us presents? Can we get presents? Hold on. You got his presents, but I feel like you said a spring clean did you just say.

Yeah. So you've cleared out the house and you're just giving us things that you don't want? Well, no, it's not things that I don't want It's the things I think you both will appreciate I think it's both Harrison Look at a glass half full please Now, Sean, let's start Instead of house half empty

Let's start with you You're gonna be thrilled With your gift Voila Oh, it's socks that I lent you Dare I say about a year ago And have been pestering you to get back And until I actually forgot they existed

Yeah, so I will admit these have been They were near new when I let them to you And they look like they've been worn about 50 times She's a little worn out. And washed so many times. They're stretched through. There's a hole in them.

Those are beyond repair, actually. So that's your socks back, Sean. So that's my present, is it? Yes, we're square. Is there anything else there? No. We're square. You've cleared out your whole house.

You've given me my socks back. Harrison. Yes. Now, recently. So, okay, guys listening, we do a podcast. It's the best moments from the radio show. And at the very, very, very end of every episode of the podcast, we do a little bonus chat. It's called the podcast, podcast, Outter.

and a couple of weeks ago we were talking in the podcast outro about a hobby that we, Sean and I were not aware that Harrison was into. And there's lots to unpack here but without further ado, Harrison, now when I give you this, it's on loan, okay?

I do want it back because it does mean kind of something today. Sorry, so I'm not even going to have it as a present. Well, you can have it temporarily. You've told us you're going to give us... So you're giving Sean's socks back. Hey, be grateful. All right, ready?

So one of the most of the most of the moment. is a return loan and one of them is a loan. These aren't gifts there. Are you ready? Yeah, I guess. Here's your present. It's a raccoon. It's a rat. It's a rat. It's a raccoon puppets. So this is Rocky Raccoon.

He's a puppet that I had in my childhood and my mom bought him up for my baby recently, but geez, he's got enough stuff. So I thought, Harrison, tell the people about your puppet hobby. Oh, yeah, yeah, I like puppets. He likes puppets. Yeah, I collect puppets. I used to having really in years.

I've got a giraffe, a crocodile, a monkey, a rascal, it's a monster. I've got an alien. I've got a lot of puppets. I do puppet shows for my parents every night before dinner, and then we could tuck in. Holy gosh, I'm so excited for a Air Jarvis on Instagram puppet show. Yeah, this is a... How long are you learning this to him before he needs to return it? Well, has it made you happy?

I'll just take it home, if not. Yeah, you can definitely have it back. I think the pub because I was in quite a hobbyist with the puppets they were quite I'd save up for those puppets they were quite technical puppets This is a raccoon though You can't really get them in New Zealand That's from overseas that one

It looks like a stuffed toy And it's real like ratty and manky It's not that bad It's in good condition It's like you have a teddy for so long They literally form dreads That is what the fur is on this teddy That's so

I don't love it And I'm not being mean to your childhood It stinks It really smells Okay, well I also had another puppet in my bag for you Oh yeah

It's a penguin But you can absolutely just put that up yet Yeah That's um Oh, arguably worse That's another myth Up next on the Edge Arvos Someone has stolen our mascot

The Edgehead I can't believe you don't like the puppets Literally an oven at that's crazy I can't believe you're upset You told us all day That you brought us presents One of them was returning something And one of them can't even give it to him

Because you want them back You love puppets That's not a gift though Steph Oh, sorry of anger. How many of you were angry? Oh, you need to sort that out. How could I'm pigwood on a rackroom pub and make you... Bean with joy.

Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The People's Mascots. And hopefully we feel better about this by then. Our mascot, The Edge Hedge, got stolen. We found the CCTV footage. We published it on the Adjavo's Instagram. And the sacko has been leaving us close.

You saw the eye. I'm a man, but you might also be a bad. Don't either. Back to basics. Rank. It's even worse, or maybe better. He's also led left clues on our edge of his Instagram as well. He's left three there. He's got a photo of himself next to a urinal, stating that he's a man.

He's also got a photo with him holding a McDonald's burger, specifically at Big Mac. And then another one yesterday, him holding a guitar. Okay, so if you can figure out who this mystery person is, you can text Hedge, leave a space, write your guess, and send that to 3343. But it is exactly on the dot 330 now. Producer-N-Ham said that she's been in touch with the mystery person who's stolen the Edge Hedge mascot. And he's supposed to be calling in right now. So there is an number that's calling through. So I guess, okay, we'll just go live with it now.

Okay, hello? I'm Sean Seth and Harrison Oh my God Is this not a record Are we talking to live? This is him Ooh, you're a sicko

You're a sicker You're a freak You sicker You're sick bastard You have Ferral animal Look guys Chill

He might be giving us our mascot Back okay Hi Kidnapper What can we do for you Alright Some of your smart listeners Have actually surprised me

And are figuring out Who I am So I've decided I'll be coming into the Edge Studios at 4pm this afternoon and you can have your spanky mascot back

4 p.m. 4 p.m. he's coming in like I'm quick on that button. Oh my God. 4 p.m. he's coming in to give the mascot. So someone's someone's figured out the clothes, figured out who it is. 4 p.m. all will be revealed. Are you still going to be giving away the $500? Yeah, all right.

Yay! Wow. You know what, yeah, give us $500. I'm going to give you a piece of my mind, man. I'll take that mascot and put it up with a Sunday show, you bastard. No, because we just got it back. It's a horrible person. We just got it back.

We'll not be putting it anywhere in any on the first. That's actually been fun. You know what? You know what? Don't come in, actually. We don't want to see you. No, we don't want to see you. Don't come in.

Come in. Come in. $500. We do that way. We do. Okay. Hey, thanks, mate. We'll see you at 4 p.m.

Maybe. Yep. Yep. I'll be there. Okay, oh my God. Okay, so what we do is we get security, we call the place. Do you any refreshments? No, be kind, Sean and Harrison.

Don't be kind of him. He stole it. He's a thief. Yeah, but you have to give them what they want in return. We'll get what we want. What's your favorite drink? Never deal with a terrorist. Lemonade.

I want an iced decap latte. With a dash of milk. Just a dash. Is it oat milk or is that regular? Soy. Of course it's the hardest one to get you, idiot. Your Ivo's. Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. The Edge Five Star Fact. This is the part of the show where I present a fact to our judges of Steph Harrison and producer Nurse Sam. They will then rate it out of five stars based on the judging criteria of originality, shareability and performance. Now I wasn't successful in this for a long time, so we did take it around the country. We found a five star fact and that is why the segment has lived on. Over 200 unsuccessful five star facts. We travel the country and a listener gives it to us.

It was a good one though. And we're bringing it back again for another redemption. And today's a pick-a-path. So you guys can decide, would you like a fact about pilots or a fact about weddings? Weddings, please. Pilots, please. Okay. Producer Nurse Sam...

What? She's so down on this segment. She does not care about five-down. What are you on? First off, you are one of the judges of the segment. I am. Would you like to hear a fact about planes or a fact about weddings? There's pilots, you said.

Pilots, sorry. Pilots? Thank you. You go for pilots. Great. Today's fact about pilots is, the captain and the first officer are forced to eat different meals on every flight. Because of food poisoning.

Yeah. So if you like, you'd be like, oh God, I'm so glad I'm flying with Barry today because he's a vegan. So I'll get to eat the beef option. Because if he's in first. with the beef, you can't have it. You have to have whatever option they don't want. And, you know, sometimes the other option is like some weird seafood thing that you're not really into it.

So they don't both get food poisoning and can't fly the plane. So only one of them if that's the case. Yeah, so they can never eat the same food. Two pilots on a flight. So that would be a point of contention in the cockpit, wouldn't that? Mm, yeah. Logistically, though, you could get food poisoning from both meals, I mean if they are different too.

Yeah, you could also logistically deal with the food poisoning while staying in your seat. Like, it would be gross. But like, if it's a bit, you chill. If it's a matter of like pooing on a seat or the plane not crashing, then like just poo on the seat, you know. Yeah, it's not like you're going to fall asleep. You don't fall asleep when you get food posting to you. No, no. It's going to be horrible to fly a plane like that.

No, you just spew. You just get a bit of a sore tummy. And poo. So I think they can change that rule. Yeah. Yeah, but I think it's just a precaution just in case. Yeah, but if you have different ones so that you can't, like, what if it's really, really bad? They're like, oh, the stomach's cramping so much we can barely land the plane.

For me, it feels like you're saying, in comparison to if I can compare it or something, it would be like saying, Oh yeah, you wear a seatbelt in the car so you don't fall out of the front window when you crash. Right, you're comparing apples with oranges really. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, and I see what you... Oh, yeah, makes sense. I don't know, something about it.

Yeah. Is that not... You've never heard that before, though, right? I've never heard that before. It is very interesting. The interesting part to me is that, like, the conflict it must create. Because they've now, like, what do they do? Like, you picked first last time, I want to pick.

Surely the more senior of the two would pick first, like out of respect. You got pizza? Oh, I got rice crackers. Yeah, that would be stank. Oh, I got the cassava chips. Oh, damn it. I don't know if it works with the Air New Zealand. Like, just in case they get, like, poisoning from the bliss balls.

I don't know. Oh, I got the Red Lolley. I got the Jet Star Banana Loaf, damn it. Oh, I love that, though. Yeah. I love that Jet Star loaf. All right, wasn't too honest, was hoping for more of a reaction, but that's okay. Out of five stars on originality, shareability and overall performance, what are we rating it?

I think it's not shocking to me, Sean. It kind of does make sense. I'm going to go, it's a two and a half. Middle of the road. Okay, all right, I'll take that. I really like this one. I'm going to give it a three and a half. Oh, thank you, Sam.

I'll take that. I'm going to give it at 4.5. I really liked it. What? Truly, I tell people that, it's good shareability. You were the hardest to read, because yesterday you guessed up my fact the whole time and gave it a 1.

And this time, and this time I shat on it and then gave you a 4.5, incredibly confusing. I think the pilot's the one that's shitting on things, to be honest. Hey, oh. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. Guys, our mascot went missing. The people's mascot. We made this beautiful mascot as a unit, as a collective, as a nation. The Edge Hedge was born and when the world needed him most, he vanished. Yeah, and that's when we started receiving weird clues in our DMs on Insta Ejavos. Some mystery person had... Sick, freak, bastard killer.

Relax. Relax. had stolen the edge-hedge mascot and started giving us clues to figure out who the person is. And they promised if people can figure out who the mystery person is, then they'll give away $500. So these were the voicemails were getting left. You saw that I'm a man, but you might also be a bad.

They're needed. Back to basic. There's a few visual ones as well, like holding a guitar and a burger. Yeah, by a urinal, so it's a man. man. Yeah. It's like a low-life piece of scummers

just toying with our brains and our brand and relax. At 3.30 this afternoon he called in and he said

that a lot of you have been guessing him right. So he's coming in he's got the cash he's ready to be revealed

is who the mystery person is and he's waiting outside the door. Actually, actually gonna have to hold me back guys. Seriously?

Let's bring in the thief who stole the edge hedge mascot outfit. The door's opening up. There you go. Oh, Mattie's back!

Oh, at least the mesca outfits in good note. Look at the smug as he comes in. He's wearing the costume. Who are you? Who is this? Oh, I see some tattoos on the arm. That's a little giveaway. He's also doing, I think he's trying to do peace, but he's doing the other way.

He's telling us to get up for ourselves. I was not trying to do it the other way, mate. He can talk. Oh, the voice. He can talk. Oh, that's the voice without the voice disguiser. Okay. Edge, Hedge,

stolen by a mystery person you can take off the costume and reveal yourself, should we give them a countdown or something guys? Watch what should do? And five four, three, two, one. It's a good idea but actually I might need a hand to be honest. I don't want to help him. You have to help me. Okay, fine. I think I don't.

I've been sleeping in that thing. Crazy. Wow. My favorite part of the gloves, to be quite honest. What's wrong with you? I see all this horrible I'm sorry about that. No, it was quite brutal, yeah. Why'd you do that? Why have you stolen our hedge?

Well, honestly, like, I was thinking, like, when I go grocery shopping, it'd be nice to have something so people don't recognize you. But as it turns out, if you walk around as, like, a shrubbery, people really got eyes on you immediately. Yeah, it was really backfired that plan. But it's very comfortable, I've got to say. Wow. Does it still kind of reek, like, glue? Yeah, it's disgusting and incredibly low visibility.

Yeah. Yeah, crossing the road was a mistake. Wow. Chris Mack from, the clues make sense now. The boots in a show. Yeah, they are. They are missing them, actually. So back to basics, you play bass guitar.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Obviously makes sense. A big Mac. A big Mac. DeNeedon, 660. Oh, wow. All the things.

Yeah, well done to the listeners who figure that out. Chris, a lot of people figured you out. Yeah, a lot of people did. Yeah, a lot of people did. Including Kristen, who is here. We've given you a call back. did hedge and your guess as to who had stolen the edge hedge to 3343. And you got Chris Mac, right, Kristen.

Congratulations. Just me clapping. That's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we've got some very exciting news, Kristen. You've won $500. What? Thank you.

Yes. You're a big fan of our 660. You know what? Yeah. Do you want two free tickets to our show, our next show coming up in Hastings? Wait, what? Really? Yeah.

Chris! Yeah, if you want. Honestly, no pressure. You don't have to take him if you don't want. I mean, if they were, say no. Okay, yeah, you're right. So she's chosen two free tickets of a $500. Good on her.

No, both, not both, no. Both. Hey, where were they're in the same glasses? That was the most Kiwi thing ever. You've won 660 tickets, all good if not. Yeah, all good if not. Yeah, it's coming the first. Speaking of, you do actually have an incredible show coming up in Hastings.

Of course, that one. You're going to play a bunch of new music. You've bought a friend of yours in here. with you. We see your... Hi, Marchu! Marchu! Yeah, Much is very embarrassed of me right now, but I did manage to drag him along.

Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. 660 are doing a one-off show this label weekend in Hastings at the Shed 530 Estates and Chris Mack and Machu join us

right now. Welcome, boys. Yay, good-day-gay. Very exciting. I read that this is a lot of new music as well, so it's before the new album and you'll be playing a bunch of unreleased stuff. It keeps snowballing. It started as like, we might play some new music tool.

They're definitely playing some music. And now it's a bunch of new music. That's what I heard. I don't know where it came from. Maybe suggested it somewhere, and now it's like an article in the herald day. Yeah. Oh, my.

Maybe, is it because maybe you guys have always done that? And maybe that's where the rumor begins. Because you have always kind of played to your live audience a new tune before it's released? Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Maybe people are just jumping to conclusions here and making assumptions. And honestly, we will be doing it anyway.

Yeah. We're basically coming straight from We'll be working on new music Leading right up to the gig So we'll be pumped on it It'll be like our new favourite Songs we've ever made And we'll be really excited to show everyone

So yeah, I can't wait for the show What is the style of the new music You guys are working on? Death metal Oh yes Quite a changer If the people what we want Hastings, great audience for it

Oh yeah A lot of Bergen's around there They're gonna love it Look at you, mate Yeah, but it's amazing Yeah why Hastings in particular? That was actually meant to be part of the last grassroots

tour that we did but because of like council problems and stuff with the venue we weren't, we couldn't get the guarantee that it would actually go ahead. So we decided to postpone it to now which is exciting because honestly the last tour which is

when was the last show I can't remember it just feels incomplete you know so we can like one we can put a bow on the last chapter and with this new music we can kind of like enter into this next. Love that. Hastings is playing a big part of the 660s future apparently. Yeah, and as a local from Hastings grew up there, we are very grateful that you guys are heading there, so thank you.

We're very excited. Where should they check out? What's your favourite? Give us some spots, mate. Best hot chips in the world, calls chicken and chips. The best hot chips in the world? The best hot chips in the world, genuinely. They've got a bit of a bigger budget than that, I reckon.

And meatballs, like from BJ's bakery. Oh, yeah. I'll check it out. From Subway. No, no. It's a deep-fried mince. You heard of dominoes? It's got it's pretty good.

It'll be the first time you guys have played down on the Hawks Bay in three years and the only show you're doing this year. So you guys can get tickets now if you're listening and you do want to go see 660 live there. We have one massive 660 fan on our show. Our new producer, producer nurse Sam. Ooh. Sam, I've got this moment the other day

of when Sam was talking about one of your tracks. There's definitely a point of my life when I was struggling and their song before you leave, kind of helped me shift my perspective, like, reminded me to put one foot in front of the other, and actually live life loudly while I'm here on Earth. Oh, Sam.

It means a lot to me that song. That's beautiful. Oh, my gosh, she's going to cry. She's the biggest fan of you guys. Even yesterday, pulling into the car park at the same time as Sam, she's blasting 6'6-0. As loud as I've ever heard music ever. Sam, come in here. Come join us in studio. Really?

And so I brought this rusty guitar and I want to play a bit of that. song for you okay I too practice this morning too run before you walk sing before you told look until you see until you see fly before you leave thought I was holding up the world But I wasn't even standing

With Sean, Steph and Harrison The Edge Guys this morning I had chicken for breakfast And that's not even the most shocking part how the chicken got on my plate, that's the shocker. So Carole, my girlfriend's not home. She's gone back to Christchurch for a little week to see her fauna and everything.

So I've got the house for myself. It's a little bit messier. It's a little bit more free. You know, I'm like walking around my undies, making breakfast. That's what I decided this morning. Instead of just for crumpet and honey, I was going to make a big... Sorry, wait, is that your normal brecky? You have a crumpet and honey?

Yeah. That's the cutest thing I've ever heard. Well, it's the poorest thing. I just don't treat myself. I just go crump it, honey, yeah. I like that sounds like quite decadent That's it Like treat yourself girl

What Queen Lizzie would have for breakfast And a banana So I usually have those But today I was like no You know what I'm an adventure I'm gonna make a big brecky So that's what I had in my brecky

I got some toast Got some butter Pardon I said rich Are you sure Was it a table spread Or was it a butter? No

It was it was butter And then I had some mints It's the wrong animal I think mince comes from a cow. Pork mints. Oh, okay, yeah, all right. It's a mayonnaise. Did we need the sound effects?

You're just listing ingredients. I'm just making you picture the dream morning that I've had this morning. Before this, Harrison goes, the sound effects are crucial to this. Make sure you get them right. And then I had a little, I had a bit of avow as well. I think New Zealand grows avocados. I make guacamole, sorry. I made a little guacamole as well.

Delicious. What a dream brecky, right? What's missing? The chicken bit that you started the story with? The egg. And so, I go to crack the egg. How did you try and crack the egg? Did you fall over on it?

I'm tapping it against the oven. Did you throw it against an old woman? And the pan is sizzling hot, full of oil. So I'm like, oh, okay, this is really, like, it's not, it's so thick. I can't open it. Wait, hold on. You're telling me we've got all these sound effects. You don't have a sizzling pan sound effect.

Oh, amateur. God, I can't do everything. And so it's thick, it's uncrackable. I shove my thumbs in, rip it in half, and outslides a rotten, dead baby chick. Ooh. You're joking?

This is a true story. On a sizzling hot pan, it's green. It's, and goes, and I'm cooking the baby chick. No. And it's green, literally the smoke is like green. And I'm like, ugh, I'm gagging because it's rotten. Oh, God.

And I throw the pan into the sink, mist of the sink, onto the floor. No. Baby chick on the floor. I'm like, no, no, no, no. That's horrible. So I get paper towels. I'm wiping it out, wiping it up, wiping it up, and then biff it out the window. And I'm like, opening the windows walking around the room, going, eh.

Like, I'm just cars don't get gagging. Poor baby chip, but it was like, it was real horrific. Like, it was gross. I'd say it's more, yeah, for you, but more so for the baby chicken. Oh, for sure. But, you know, that's always the, fear when you've got open eggs, is there going to be a baby chicken it? I've never heard of that in my entire life.

I don't know. I think that you've just put thousands of people off having eggs. Literally just swam into the pan. I was like, oh no! Where'd you get the eggs from? Huh? What the eggs from? Like, supermarket ones? You should definitely complain. Really? Like, cooked it. What brand is it? You cooked it? I can't remember the brand. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, this is insane. I don't think, I think they

are not allowed to do that. Yeah, it was like rotten. I was cooking a a chicken. Yeah, no. I would have become... Okay, anyway. But at the end of the day, I was really annoyed. It was gross and it was sad, but I was so annoyed because I wanted eggs for breakfast, not fried chicken. Oh, that's the end sound you want to be to play. Oh, I see. So he's made up this whole story just to tell a joke about fried chicken.

It's a true story, though, but I didn't want fried chicken. I want a bloody eggs. It's definitely a true story. And why would I make that up? It's a true story. Okay. Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Big announcement. in Altiero today from my education minister. This will be of interest to you if you are a parent or you are currently at high school. A new bunch of subjects are set to be launched for years 11 to 13 and they're going to be in schools from 2028, which isn't that far away.

What are they? Well, one of them's AI. They're going to do an AI subject at school? How do you learn AI? AI, the thing about AI is that does all for you? I hope it's like to be, like, wary of AI. I hope that's what they're teaching and not like...

I'm going to teach a whole course on how to be wary of AI and it'll be how to integrate with it, how to use it in your job, how to use it to get a head. Oh no, I hope it's like careful students. The robots will take over and here's how to be really nice to the robot

so when they do take over they don't come and kill us all. Boring class though. Scary class. Very. What's like AI is coming, it's good for like people in high school to learn how to use it, you know?

Because people will use it in their jobs in the future a lot. Other subjects include different students, humanities and cultural studies, including politics, philosophy and media and journalism courses. Yeah. It's kind of interesting. They already do that. Yeah, they did media studies.

Media studies. Yeah, they're changing them a little bit. Yeah, to be more like journalistic, maybe. Yeah, and they're changing some of the Pacifica and Māori courses to include carving in different things like that. Cool. That is quite cool. But it got me thinking, if they're going to retool it, right, they're going to add an AI class and all these other things. What are the classes do you think they should teach in New Zealand schools that would actually help?

Because I reckon there's a few we can get rid of out the gate. Off the top of my head. History. No, but you have to have history. Get rid of it. You've got to have history. It's fascinating. Plus, it's learning from mistakes.

You know, if you think it's the important thing in life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. Anyway. I'll hear about that. Okay. There's a few things of, yeah, like geology. I don't know. Stats and all that, all the math stuff.

Do you know what I want? Tax class. I don't know how to do you know how to. do it. I'm so much like fraudulent activity that I'm up to now because I still don't know how to do my taxes. So I wish I'd learned that at school. No, that's a real problem. But on that, like mortgage rates, interest rates and all like that stuff, how to get a loan and how to not get into debt, I think should be absolutely taught in school. And if you do get a loan, like how not to be in debt, like how to pay back your money. Like budgeting? Budgeting should be a

class. Car class. Parallel parking? Yeah. I've got this idea for a class called handyman class. And in this class, you learn like how to change a car battery, how to change a light bulb, how to fix your dishwasher. It's just like things that you're going to have to do in the next decade. Here's another class idea. Housework class. So this is like cooking, but you make it a little bit cooking and then like how to fold a fitted sheet. How often are you meant to change your sheets?

Ironing. Can we put ironing in that class? Because I still don't really understand how people can iron. And these classes are open to any gender, eh? Yeah. Cool. Obviously. Well, you've got to check.

No, you said handyman class. That felt quite. Oh, sorry, handy person class. Handy person class. That sounds wrong. And the housework, that's for everybody. Yeah, cool. Housework class.

Yeah, what about a subscription class where they teach you how to, like, check what subscriptions you have and which ones you don't. I reckon I could lead a six-month elective on how to cancel a Hello Fresh. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's impossible. It might need to be longer than the six months.

Maybe. Can you put an Amazon subscription into that course as well? Anyone that involves you to have to go to the website and then do it, that should be a class that gets to one. No, good options. We should pitch this. to the government. And I haven't, I will.

The fatherly advice class, too. Fatherly advice, that's cute. Yeah, my dad just gives pretty shit advice to me, so I need to work on that. Oh. Yeah. Maybe that's a separate mentorship program that people can kind of look into.

Probably, eh. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Please welcome to the studio. He's on Taskmaster NZ this year. He is a very, very funny stand-up comedian, Jack and Sets.

Yeah. Oh, hello. So, um, so happy to be here. And sorry, quick, Cleet, Andrew. Also the only person in this room who came to my 30th birthday, despite my two co-hosts being here. Oh, I was unwell, Jack. You were?

Yeah. I was battling a horrific cold, and I made it out, so I don't know what that says about you guys. You know what, that's irresponsible, and that's who you're spreading to us. Yeah. And I was trying set up comedy, Jack, so maybe you'd be proud of me. Oh, yeah, wow. Awesome. Oh, my gosh.

Here we go, Sean, if you know, I thought I was on the bus like that. We've got reasons. Jack, you are very, very funny on the season of Taskmaster. They've had to have been a few viral clips. you doing different things. I think one's got four million of you having to get a balloon through a wall. Yes, yeah. Oh my God.

Oh, that's supposed to happen? Is what supposed to happen? Was that supposed to pop? I mean, you were the one doing it. Oh, it's in the water. Oh, great. Yeah. And you just walked straight through it.

And then one of you having to kick a ball into a caravan, which took you. How many attempts? Oh, I don't know. I don't have a number on it. But it was probably over, it was probably over 50 just to get it out of one. room into the next. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the most successful moment in the history of this

show. You've become a bit of a legend on this season of Taskmaster, even going viral all over the world with some of these moves. Oh, yeah, I know. It's crazy the reach the show has. Like, there's people calling me from the Czech Republic in the middle of the night wanting to talk to me about it. It's a wide reach.

Because I've noticed, I've been watching the episodes, I've noticed you've got this little piece of paper on your t-shirt that has your phone number and say, like, give me advice. How has your phone been popping off? No, it's feedback. It's asked for feedback.

And it pops off all the time. Yeah, calls from the Czech Republic. I've got this dude that calls me hires a kite every night and I don't answer to me. He leaves a voice message. And then halfway through the voice message, he forgets what he's doing.

And then he just starts talking to his friend. And then he'll end it with, oh shit I'm on a voicemail so you know is the number for an eventual comedy bit because I know Jack's the guy who does like practical stuff like he's in Facebook groups trolling people he's always like

you entered the literal Weepicks kids triathlon as an adult like you're the one adult comic who really commits to the bit and when I saw it I was like oh this is like you're going to try and write jokes out of the messages you've got from Taskmaster I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet Sean it's a good idea I just thought it would be good to see what people

really thought Is it a way to like a bit of a pick up the ladies kind of thing? Are you single? Like, what's your story there? No, I'm not single. How does your partner feel like you've put your phone number out there? Well, you're really putting me on the spot here. I can't say I've had any offers through the number yet.

That's a shame. Sorry to bring it up? I didn't thought about the fact that I hadn't. Sorry? Yeah, well. Anyway. But you are here to maybe some of those jokes make it into your new stand-up tour, which you announced yesterday.

Yes, that's correct. Yes, it's the biggest tour I've ever done. The three biggest rooms I've ever done. It's a bit ambitious, which is why I'm here talking to you guys, thanks for having me and letting me promote it. Incredible. Where are we going and when? So I'm going to the Rangatira Q Theatre in Auckland on the 1st of November.

And then the piano in Christchurch. And then Tiahua in Wellington on the 4th. 14th of November, yes. So very exciting. Huge. Is this the first time you've done like a stand-up tour before? No, I've done tours, but it's the first time I've done rooms this big. So, yeah, it's a bit scary.

So I'm hoping people come through, yes. I think the Taskmaster, you're already funny, you've already got a fantastic taskmasters. It's a great push and a great help to get people to come, you know, because they'll recognise you from that. That dude from the Czech Republic, he'll... Yeah, we got it, he's going to miss it. And speaking of Taskmaster, obviously those viral moments,

of you doing that kick, especially. The kick. Aconic. It was incredible. So before this interview, we took you outside. We recreated that task within our budget. Yes. We didn't have a caravan.

We had a carball box. We had a carball box, and we didn't have a fun ball. We had Harrison's volleyball to use. You didn't realize that all three of us have also had an attempt at this task. No, I didn't. So I've got the results next. Oh, gosh. On who is the most successful

The video going up on Air Jarvo's next as well There's good news and bad news And the bad news, Harrison, is that your ball's no longer with us Jack Look, I apologize profusely I had a lot to live up to They were trying to get me to recreate my kick It's my emotional support volleyball, Jack

I'll let you know the ball is in reach Your Arvos hit harder With Sean, Steph and Harrison The Edge Join and share right now by a comedian Jack Answers He's on the new season of Taskmaster. Oh yeah. Currently promoting his upcoming comedy tour.

Fire us off those dates and where you're going, Jack. Yes, it's Auckland on the 1st of November. Christchurch on the 7th and Wellington on the 14th. Huge, mate. What a month. And you've probably seen these clips of Jack on Taskmaster this season. One going exceptionally viral of Jack kicking a ball into a caravan on what seems like one attempt.

Turns out it was about 50 attempts just to get it out of the room. But here's the moment. That was the most successful. moment in the history of this show. You must have seen this online but if you haven't you're in a two-story building on the balcony like you it shouldn't have gone into the caravan oh it shouldn't have gone out of the sporting legends

that have now passed helping you that moment I know and Paul Williams the assistant who watches you the whole time he's usually very straight-faced and doesn't really show any emotion but he was visibly shook He was so amazed. Jack, the amount of times you've made Paul break this season is actually an incredible task in itself. Yes, thank you.

It's actually amazing. That was my intention. It was an incredible moment. So we thought we'd put you through a task of our own when you got here today, see if it was truly luck or whether it was skill. So we created within our budget a recreation of that task. Your task is to get the volleyball into the box.

You cannot step in front of your mark. What you didn't realize, Jack, is that all three of us had also attempted the same task right before you got here. Yes. So we're going to find out right now from producer Sam. The video is live on the Air Jarbo's Instagram if you want to go check it out. Who was the least successful at this task and who was the most successful at this task? So we didn't have a caravan. We had a driveway in a cardboard box.

Yes, budget cuts. There was no kicking, but we could throw it, right? Well, you could do anything with it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you'd even interpret the task, however you want to interpret the task. That's his good. taskmaster loopholes. Yeah.

Lurowls. All righty, so the person that took the most amount of times was Jack. Oh. It took him 20 tries. Oh. And I've got it. There's a note here. It says technically zero.

He actually never got it in. He kicked the ball on the roof and broke Harrison's heart. Oh. Is it still up there? Yes. It's in reach. Jack. Jack,

Harrison brings that ball in from home every single day just to bounce it and cuddle it. It's his support ball. Look, if you got a very long pole, and I mean a very, very long pole, you could very easily get it. The craziest thing is, I literally, before we Sean got this, like this beach volleyball,

and he was, like, beach blowout ball. He's like, do you want to use this? I'm like, nah, we can use my ball. I was sure you want Jack to use this ball. I was cautious. What could he possibly do with it? It's missing. That's insane, Jake.

It's not missing. It's on the road. All right, so Jack, Who did this? So I guess we found out this probably makes that kick you did on Taskmaster even more amazing. That's true.

That it was such a fluke. Yeah, well, people are throwing that word around. Okay. I'm like to see this video. All right. Producer Nurse Sam, between myself, Stefan Harrison. Who's next?

Third on the podium, if you will. Third on the podium, we've got Harrison with 15. 15? Yeah. Not bad. Ah, okay, that's all right. I counted 12, but that's all right.

That's pretty good. That's all right. Did you kick it or throw? I kicked it, I threw it. I tried everything. I told it different ways. I'll take it, I'll take it. So it's between Sean and I, the two people on the show that argue within, like with ourselves on who's the most athletic.

There's a lot of competitive tension between Steph and I when it comes to sporting, Jack. Yes. So there's a big moment for both of us. Okay. All righty. And second place with eight. Oh, wait. Why don't you go?

One of you got... Okay, yeah. No, that won't work because then I'll know. Well, second place got eight. Start again, start again, side again. In second place, with eight, was Sean.

Oh, gutted for you, mate. The social netball is a social basketballer. Do you want to know how many it takes it took me, Sean? And Harrison and Jack. How many? Of mailing Sean. How many? Look at the Sean in the eye when you tell them.

Two. Oh. There's nice. No way. Jack's the Rose Shogged. Oh my gosh. If you gave me a caravan out there, I would bloody. All right, if you would like to watch the video,

Edge Arvos on Instagram, make sure you check Jack Ann set out on his new comedy tour, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. It was so good. Well done, Steph. Well, no. Rat, Steph. Your Arvos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. So every job has like a niche skill, right, that you learn on the job, and it's quite particular. For example, I was at the supermarket, and I forgot my reusable bags. And I'm there putting my groceries on the conveyabout, and I said to the guy, oh, I might need a couple of bags. And he's like, how many? I'm like, oh, geez.

I don't know. And he eyeballs it. He looks at it. It only takes from him a few seconds. He's like, three. It's going to take three. And I was like, okay, let's go with three. He gets out three.

Bada bim, badeabom. Done. Three perfectly. My groceries fit perfectly in three of those brown bags. And I'm like, that is a niche. niche skill that someone can eyeball convey bottle of groceries and guess correctly. And like another example.

I live nearby a guy who works on a tractor or like a house that's just been demolished and they're like doing earthworks and stuff and there's a guy on a tractor there every day. And I'm watching this guy on the tractor and he's doing the joystick, one joystick on his left side, one on the right, he's got pedals, he's doing the whole thing.

I'm like, geez, that is a niche skill to have. I've always wanted to have a crack driving a tractor because I do look at it and I go wide in there. to a steering wheel. There's like seven different levers. It looks like so much. There's so much going on. And like, your average Joe, you're non-track to, um, did I say tractor? I mean digger. Digger driver.

Oh, Digger. That's what I meant as well. God, we're really not. I mean, I'm watching Clarkson's farm as well, which I should know. The average person would have no clue how to do a digger, right? So I was thinking what is our niche skill? As radio hosts, we turn on the microphone, we talk shit and then we play great music.

So, I mean, language? What else? Sorry. What else can we what else can we do? That's quite niche that no one else can do. And then it came to me and I was like, oh, ask radio people, we can sense when to stop talking

when a song started to play just before the singing starts. You know how radio people were just... We'll just know, we'll just instinctually. That was good, but you didn't finish your words so that you're terrible for a listener. Well, I was still, I'm having a conversation still. So, for example, so say the conversation's over on the radio

and you hear the song starting to play. and you'll just be like Chitty chat, chat, chat, chat, here's a song, you're on the edge. You know one. Oh, that's good. That was good. That's cool.

That's good usually get to do those. No. No, it's just me who gets to do them because I'm the one who's on the side of the computer, so I'll be honest, I don't want to brag. Quite good at that. Spend a lot of time on it. Let's hear you do it.

Let's not actually play the song, but I just want to hear you do it. Okay. So Chitty chat, chat. Yeah. I want to bring a chair, can I come with him and chat about. Hey, if you're having a foot long today,

Make sure it's meatball. Here's the subway, Chapplerone, on the Edge. Whoa! That's good. I never noticed there. A niche skill. Oh.

Harrison want to go? You'd love a go. Oh my gosh. Okay. Here we go. Hey, hey, Sean Ziven Harrison, here, Javos. You're on the Edge.

Listen to her a fun time with us today. Yeah, fun, everybody. Oh, too much. That's too much. Too long. I'm fine everybody. Here we are. I'm a big fun.

Okay, go try again. I'm trying to find a song that's not. Like, what should I say? Like, I'm on the edge, edge of us. I don't know. Well, here we go. He started. That was a good bit, guys.

You know what's coming up next? We've got, um, uh, Steph Sean Harrison. They're going to do a little bit of dancing. And when they dance, they're going to have a fun time. Guys, you know, I work up this morning and they cracked a chicken out of an egg. It was a disgusting breakfast because you're on the edge of yesterday. Not bad. It was better.

Not good. It was a bit shouty and a little rushed at the end. Okay. All right, that's fine. All right. This is a long one. It's a long one. I'll keep talking.

Oh, this is going to be awesome. You guys, honestly, I've been finding it hard at the moment with I'm going up and getting to work and waking up in the mornings at more of a depressing time of my life, I think, is when I got to sit in the living room and I just cry. They're just doing this kind of thing. Oh, my God. Why do I work here? Why do I come here?

Why do I even live where I live right now? Why am I in this world doing these things? You're in these children, Stephen Harrison. Well, dude, are you okay? Not really. Let's play a song and let's try and give Harrison a cuddle or something. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Guys, um, did you know that our work has an improv troupe? Yeah, I saw an email go around about that. Like a few months ago, people were looking for people to go and improvise. Yeah, I didn't check about emails more. Is it like local theatre kind of vibe? Yeah, so I, like, we were some workmates last night because there's some people from work who do this improv thing. And it's like at this theatre here in Auckland

and it's like different companies like just office people like people from BNDA people from Kiwi Bank and then people from Media Works. Oh cute. Well it's so cute and like we... I'm imagining the office vibes like David Brent like getting a bunch of the office people together to do an improv night.

It is because it's cute. And like you know, they're like people who are just like maybe they did theatre when they were growing up or maybe they just want to have a go at doing something funny and out there and the whole crowd is full, all full audience, but for everybody's work, so they're all supportive. How are the edge team?

Were we good? No, we were the best. Yay! I'm not saying that. I might say who wasn't the best, but we were definitely the best. Oh, name and shame. But it's, no. But it's so funny because it's like, it's cringe.

It's real cringe. Sometimes you're like, oh, gosh. And then sometimes you're like, why have you chosen to be in an improv group? So for people who don't know what improv is, is it like they were given like a scene to do? Like, act this scene out. Go, and you don't get to prep at all. So there's a guy kind of running it at, like, a direct.

to running her and he goes audience we need an occupation oh fun doctor we need an age well that relationship and action guys but this time you can only do it on one leg oh my god it's like who's on is anyway from back in the day yeah so fun i used to do theatre sports when i was at school i went to a theatre sports club after school for a few years it was so fun it was like that stuff you play those games and then you do like different silly things yeah well sure i'm gonna one up here i want to drama school i did improv every day oh that's true so that we do improv every day on the show guys and so we do kind of it's why i think all lots have abstained from this improv group with a bunch of like bankers

because it was kind of a little bit unfair if you're like a professional talker. Yeah, well that's kind of what I felt was like, but watching them, I'm like, yeah, you guys are good. MediaWorks is good. But why are we not up there? Like they were good, but I think we should be the team. Us three.

Really? Do you think we've got what it takes? Like I'm not being cocky, but I was watching it going, I would just say something different. You know, like watching it. You're a professional radio host and improviser. You guys will be itching. You'll be itching to do that too if you were there. You must admit, I've seen theatre sports in the past, and I'm like,

could do that. Oh, yeah, I reckon we're going to be good. So, producerist Sam is going to give us a few key words and stuff, and we're going to have a little improv together. Okay, now? Right now, and we're just going to be, hopefully the people are listening, we can send this off to the theatre, and hopefully we can be the new MediaWorks team. I don't think there's a waiting list.

We can probably get in there. Yeah, well, this is our audition, guys. Lock in. Lock in. Lock in. Okay, lock in. All right. Who's excited?

Yeah! All righty. Hey, we're the improv trip from here. First up, your occupation is builders. Oh! Your relationship is a thruple. Ah, cheeky. And the last thing, please keep in mind that you can only say three words at a time.

Okay. Who wants the hammering? Why, I think they could, so you're going to call action. Whoa. Was that part of the scene? Well, that was actually four words, Steph. But yeah, I'll call action. Okay, good.

Ready? Okay. Okay. Okay. Places. Ready and action. Sorry, Sean, you're going to have to stop that banging. I'm hammering.

Okay. What? Huh? You've messed the words up and I'm into the scene. Reset. I'm in the scene. Reset, reset, reset, cruise. I'm going to play an action.

Okay. Ready and action. Rolling. Action. Harrison. Okay. No, sorry. Sorry, it's a stop there.

I think you said want to screw. Wanar. One word. You're going to roll with it. That's three words. Action. Action. Ah, big day.

I'm on lunch. Something else big. Can we call cut if we're in it as well? I'm not able with that. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. What do you mean? Oh, we're in a thruple. We need to make it sexy.

Oh, we're in a triple. Oh, we are in a thruple. Bang bang, haughty. Whoa, man. No Building is fun Looking at boobs My boobs

Really We should stop there I don't know if we can do that Yeah it's quite You guys I don't reckon it's our thing But I'm glad we're trying I don't think we need to do it

Let's give it a mess Let's give it a mass I loved it I hated it Your Avos hit harder With Sean Steph and Harrison The Edge

And now today's Would You Rather Who Would You Rather Who Would You Rather Hang out with Postie or Morgan Wallin That's actually not the one That was a little precursor

Post Malone. Pice Malone too. Yeah. Harrison? Post Malone. Morgan Wallen's done some horrible things. Is he? Yeah.

Is he cancelled? Is he? From his ex, yeah. She hears to say. That's right. Yeah, real bad. Real bad. Oh, that's awful.

Well, today's real would you rather is. Would you rather earn a million dollars every month for the rest of your life? Wow. But you have to live in the same house you're in now and you're never allowed to move ever and you're never allowed to live anywhere else. Okay, yes, that one. Really? I love where I live now. I never want to move.

Oh, you do live in a good spot. A million dollars a month for living in my house. What's the other, yeah, I think. Because your house is already worth millions. Okay, leaving up the stakes. Or you're not allowed to leave the city. You're not allowed to leave the city. You're not allowed to leave anywhere else.

You're not allowed to travel. So you get this money, but you can't experience anything else really outside of what you've got now. You can't travel. You can't live anywhere else. You can't stay in a hotel. You have to sleep in your house every night. So you can't travel. Unless you do a day.

day trip. Yeah, that changes that. What would you even spend the money on? Paying off the house and then what? Exactly. Nothing. Money, I mean, I love to save for travel. That's what I spend my savings on.

So, yeah, be it's a bit different now. It's a bit different. But you'd never have to work. I mean, you'd get quite depressed, wouldn't you? You'd just sit around watching TV all day. No, but Auckland's a big city. You can still do day trips. Yeah, can really get to know the city.

You really get to know. After a year of day tripping around Auckland with millions of dollars, everyone would know who you are and be like, oh God, here she comes. Yeah. Yeah. with a backpack and it. No, I'd do it.

I'd absolutely do it. I would forfeit travel to help as many people as possible. Because once you've clocked your life a bit, financially, you can start helping a bunch of people. Every month, he'll be like, Harrison, a million bucks this month. I don't need it.

You know, you can start, like, going around. It just feels old. Oh, that's a loophole. All right, I'm going to cover that loophole. Can't give it away. God. See, I'm going to go, I don't want a million dollars a month. I'm going to do what I do and work

hard enough to be able to get a million dollars a month, but I don't buy that I can travel and stuff and still earn that money. I mean, that's very doable. That's very good. Doable. There's a great mentality to have. It's a good goal. Yeah, optimistic.

It's not real, though. Like, it's real. That can happen. It can totally happen, but it's not like a... Clip this moment right now. Sean is going to be on the street, dirt poor. Yeah. No job, no money, nothing.

I'm going to be a millionaire. Because remember when I said it that I would give you money. so just remember that clip that clip that bit too yeah sure's gonna go oh can i it's shaking his bowl can i have some look him in the eye and go piss off were you even just buy me a cheeseburger

Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot. Your Avos, hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Big Alien news. If you're a listener of this show, you'll know that I love an alien story. And this isn't even just like a weird conspiracy. Can I say? Maybe you used to talk about alien stories, but ever since I've started this job with you,

I don't think you've ever talked about aliens. Oh, really? No. This is the first time you've brought it up? Yeah. Maybe it's because they talked about aliens too much. You guys know me, classic aliens. I don't think that's what they know you is.

Oh, I need to talk about them way more there. Yeah, you do. Yeah, so I love aliens Harrison. Great. Love an alien conspiracy. But this is actual real life. So NASA did a whole press conference on this and everything, like this is true news. So, you know how there's like a rover on Mars at the moment?

And they're looking at all the rocks and figuring stuff out over there, and I don't really know what they're up to, but they're doing some stuff. And they found a rock. Now, like, huh, this rock looks different because of the markings on the rock. So on the rock there's like tiny little black speckles. They're calling them they kind of look like sesame seeds.

And then there's other kind of circular formations on the rock that they're calling like not leopard print, but leopard spots with a darkened outline. And they're kind of like leopard looking spots here and there on this rock. And they found this rock. They were like, oh my God, this looks weird. We have to investigate further. And so the results have come out that the markings on this rock

could have only been left. Now, I'm going to show you guys a photo, but it's really not going to mean much, but that is the markings on the rock. Which one? Well, like, those are the leopard print ones and the little tiny black dots. Oh, that's it. You've zoomed in on a rock.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was zoomed in on a rock. And it has been left these imprints by ancient life. How do they know that, though? Okay. I feel like they don't know that. This is proof that aliens

maybe don't live on Mars now, but in an ancient time, Remember it's how old's Earth? Like 400 million years old or something? Maybe billion? I don't know. I don't know. Maybe in ancient time, billions of years ago,

there was, now proof, there was life on Mars. That's just, honestly, from the photo you just shown, it is just a rock was spot. Yeah, but that's us. We don't have any kind of scientific background. We don't work for NASA. The NASA people have, like, discovered this. This is big news today.

The world's not talking about it because I know a lot of other things is happening. on planet Earth right now. But big alien news. I love that. I just want them to come already. Come visit us. Take over America. It needs help. Be our alien overlords and just give us some technology. I think the UFOs see, this is kind of my conspiracy here I'm at. And this is what I've talked about previously. But I think UFOs come back to visit the humanoids from the past. And that's us. So the UFOs that we see are actually humans from the future.

We're going to stop. That's hard. That's a lot to take it. I'd like to eat those special mushrooms before the show anymore. Oh, it's true. Yeah, okay. All right. The reason they don't communicate with us is because we try to communicate with an ant. You just can't. You're our voice head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Hey, I hope you enjoyed the podcast. This is the podcast outro, a little bit extra for your experts. A little bit where you can just, you know, vent a little bit. You know, actually, we're so busy doing this radio show. We don't actually have a time to talk to each other. Catch up. What? Our job is literally to talk to each other.

I thought we haven't talked in ages. Oh my gosh. Fuck, I'm tired today. And we can swear. What are your opinions in New Zealand? I think we have talked about this on the show before, but I forgot where you guys said on this. But...

Homelessness. Sorry, I was listening and then I've put my phone down now. What are you doing? Why are you doing? You're on your phone. I'm looking at my ideas list. Okay. So I would like to talk about tipping in New Zealand. Oh, yeah.

So usually I go to the tips, and find... Nunu? No. So at the end of a dinner, say? And then you go up to the... You're done it in the bins and then I put the up at the end of the year

and we'll drop them to the tip. No. Oh, is that a thing Mormon's there only put the end in? No. He's bouncing the bed. Soaking. Soaking.

Is it called soaking? No. Not soaking. No. It's technically not... It's after a dinner and you're at a restaurant and you go up to the counter. First of all, New Zealand,

we need to stop going up to the counter. It's a New Zealand. thing. They don't do this overseas. We need to stay seated at the table and then the restaurant needs to come to you to pay. It's so annoying having to go up to the counter and line up. It's so not done. No, it's way better because it's like not the awkward of like, oh, who's going to pay? Because someone will just sneak away and go pay, you know? No, I respectfully disagree. When I'm overseas and they do that, they always take so long to come to you. I like that in New Zealand, if you want to leave, go up and pay and go.

I'll be with you in 15 minutes. You're like, I want to leave. No, I think it's good to have the option. Option would be nice. I want to line up like a, I'm lazy. I want to stay in my comfortable chair and I want to pay and I want to stay seated as long as humanly possible. And I want to stand and still be in the restaurant standing. And it takes so long sometimes because if you've got a big group, everyone's got a

paying and pay and pay. I just want to sit down. Everyone pay when they're ready. Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, so that's my one bugger boo. My second bugaboo is tipping. Like, it's so awkward when you say, no, I don't want to tip on the F-point. thing and it's like well I don't want to tip.

A bit of a juxtaposition to what you're saying here. I feel like if they do bring it to you at the table, they will expect a tip. Why? Because that's like an extra service. It's not a service. It's the person staring you in the eyes. It's not an extra service. It's taking an EFPOS machine and walking over to you and going like this.

It's an extra service. It's not an extra service. I get it in America. They pick it up and take it to you. I get it in America. I get it in America because of the history of tipping and how that began. They make nothing either. And how they make nothing and how they rely on tips.

totally get that, happy to do that, great. But we don't live in America, and I understand that cost of living is extremely bad here as well. But it's, like, what is the average wage in America for a waiter? Average wage and US for waiter. So they rely on it so much. $16 an hour. And America, L.A., New York, like, so expensive to live there.

So I get it. Timbing's important over there. $33,000 a year. You need tips to live in America, right? I got tricked into tipping once when I was in Mexico. It was Christmas Eve and me and I was like traveling for three months. I had no money. I was trying to travel real cheap.

And my girlfriend came to stay with me for a couple weeks. And we were there together on Christmas. And so we decided to go to a nice restaurant, went to a nice steakhouse. And I googled it before because you don't tip in Mexico. They're never tipping culture. But in the like real resorty places, they do all of them ask you and they're real pushy about it

because heaps of Americans go there and tip them, so they really want you to tip. But you don't have to, like, they get paid enough. They get paid and stuff. And so we went to this restaurant, and I was like, man, this is going to be the most expensive meal of this entire trip. And I don't have much money left, and I've got two weeks left. So me and Jeannie, like, Googled it as my partner.

We're like, do you need to tip this chain? Like, no, you don't. This is a UK chain of steakhouses. It's a very nice restaurant. That waiters all get paid a nice wage. You do not need to tip there. Like, Googled it and everything. Went there.

Beautiful dinner. As I said, the most I paid this whole trip. We put like a couple of bucks or something, beautiful steakhouse. The guy serving us was like a, in a sushi and everything, so nice. And at the end, when he's like, do you want to tip? And for me, tipping is like 20% on the $200 meal. I didn't have like 40 bucks to throw out this guy. And I was like, no.

And then he like had a crack at me. He started arguing. He's like, are you serious? You're not going to tip. This is how I make my money. And I was like, oh, sorry, dude. I come from a place. It's not tipping culture.

Like if you, I'm just, I googled it and it said that you don't have, you don't really tip here. And he goes, no, no, no, if you don't tip, and this guy, by the way, like, did ignore us all night. Like, did not give us great service and everything. And he goes, no, if you don't tip, like, I can't make my living. Like, I can't. And I'm like, well, if you're not lying to me and you seriously need the tip, then that's how you make money, then I'll tip me. He goes, yeah, I need the tip of it. That's how I make money.

And so I tip him, I just got juba. I googled it again afterwards. He was lying to me. He just lied to me to get $40. Really? What country is this again? Mexico. Hmm.

Hustler. So I'm just on this super interesting website. It's of all of the different states in America. And I didn't realize this. But you know how every state is like kind of, they've got their own rules and laws and stuff? They're actually like basically 50 countries in the whole of America.

It's like the United States, the state. And so in every state is a different, like wage that waiters get paid. Like in Arkansas, minimum wage, is $2.63. That's not very much. It's not a lot of money. I also thought it was Arkansas. New. Delaware, $2.23.

Maryland $3.63. So obviously people in these places have to rely on tips because it's just like unsustainable and it's quite fair. But in like New Zealand, when you can earn a living wage, I just feel weird about the tipping thing. And then when they kind of like look at you and you're like, oh, and you like press the decline button with like the no, I don't accept giving a tip at the counter.

It's like awkward. Yeah, because they watch it. They watch it. I hate how they've added it to everything now. Everything. Every place you go. It annoys me so much. Me too.

I think Steph, if they've seen you go out for dinner with a group and go, I'm not splitting the meal because I don't want to have to pay for everyone else to shit. You get your side and then you go up, I don't think I expect a massive tip. The thing is, I do split the meal. Oh, okay. Because I'm a big deal now. When did that happen for you? No, I've always split the meal, but I hate it.

I split the meal, but do you know what was amazing? Which was amazing. And so cheap was we went for dinner instead of going out to a restaurant at my friend's house, just got Uber rates, $25 each. And I was like, oh, fuck yeah, this is what we should have been doing the whole time. You get your own food, get your own, you know exactly what you're spending. I loved it. No, I loved it.

Was you all got different Uber-Eats? No, same Uber-Eats. Oh, because you get them at different times. No, same Uber-Ats? Yep, no, that's good. That was great. One restaurant? One restaurant.

Cool. That's a great hack. Have you been there as well? It's called one restaurant. No, I haven't been in one restaurant. W-U-N? No, I don't think it's a place. One restaurant.

Is it? What cuisine do they serve? Um. Careful. Ah. Ah. We're the hero. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
