This is a podcast from Rover.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, welcome to the podcast, the big show today.
We touched base with Colin,
another guy who got a Warriors' 2025 champions tattoo
after they have lost and not been champions,
and he's pretty gutted.
Truthfully.
Yeah, that's true.
And then I got a tattoo.
I got a tattoo.
I got a Tamoko on the weekend,
so we talked about that and revealed that to you guys.
Also, I mean,
could have been learning your lines, actually,
during the tattoo process
because we both,
it turns out that Harrison and I
had a big audition this morning,
both vying for the same job.
It's stuffed.
It's insane that Steph is now
trying to be an actor
and auditing for the same roles as me.
Look, we got to the bottom of it
and we had a fair competition
on here for one of you
to have to withdraw your application
from this job.
Yeah, yeah, you'll hear,
you'll hear what happens.
And I was just, pre-morning,
you just get a bit nervous under pressure
when I'm very favorite things.
Also, remember at the end of every single podcast,
we do a podcast outro,
a bit of a bonus conversation.
and guys I've dreamed about something for a very long time
and I finally achieved my dreams on the weekend.
The boys are very proud of me.
Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Happy Monday at New Zealand.
A massive day, the 15th of September,
which as we all know is the day that the Bird of the Year voting opens.
Oh, yeah, that's in my calendar.
Guys, who cares about the election?
Bird of the Year, man.
I love Burrly. I supported the Rifleman last year.
I was an ambassador for the rifleman.
What does it look like?
Were you?
It's like a little bird.
It's hard to describe a bird, isn't it?
You're a good ambassador.
It's hard to describe a bird.
They had a cool name.
It's like, rifleman.
I like that.
Yeah, I saw a really beautiful bird
in my Fijowa tree on the weekend
and I was like to my partner,
Jake, Jake, come look at this bird.
I've literally never seen this bird before.
I thought I'd stumbled upon a new species.
Oh, yeah.
And he looks at it.
And I was like, look, I've never seen anything like it.
He goes, that's a pheasant.
I was like, oh.
Oh, good Eden.
Beautiful bird
Nice and tender
Turns out they
Yeah, I didn't discover anything
They're definitely a thing
But how beautiful is a pheasant?
Yeah, chucking on the barbie
Nice Sunday dinner
Oh, okay
Beautiful
All right
I wonder if they take that into the criteria
of bird of the year
Taste?
You hope not
Yeah
You hope not
They're all pretty native
And looked after an endanger
Yeah, that's a good point
It's a taste
So
Also on the show
Connor joins us
Who got a Warriors'
Tadoo Warriors 2025
Champions
If you haven't heard
the update
They are not
They lost on Saturday, so they're out of the running.
His tattoo, however, still very permanent.
So we'll touch base on him, but first, your chance to win $1,000 with easy money.
Next.
Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
The Edge.
EZ.
Easy money is the game.
A thousand bucks.
Up for grabs.
All thanks to B&Z.
We'll give you a letter between E and Z.
You'll have 30 seconds, 10 questions.
Answer each one with a word starting with that letter and win yourself a thousand bucks.
All righty.
Let's go to the phone's.
0,800 the edge if you want to play.
Shoes from Tadanaki.
She loves...
Pussy cats.
And her name's Caitlin.
Yay!
Congratulations, Caitlin, for getting through on the phones.
Welcome.
How are you?
I'm good, thank you.
How are you?
Oh, we're so good, Caitlin.
What are you going to do if you get a thousand bucks today, man?
Probably book a flight somewhere.
Oh, yeah.
Raro.
Fiji?
Japan.
Japan.
Japan.
Oh, I've heard it's lovely.
Yeah.
They love cats.
They've got a lot of cat cafes there.
Yes.
Yeah.
I've been to one of those before.
I'm unsure of those.
They do have, like, you know how cats?
I mean, Caitlin, you know about cats?
They have that smell to them.
When you've got a lot of cats in one place, there's definitely a smell to the year.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you'd hope it wouldn't smell like that.
Yeah, a lot of bits in the air, I'd say.
Yeah.
You have bits in your coffee and stuff.
It's like when you go to a restaurant outside, you're sitting a retreat,
and you go all the dandy, all the stuff.
in there.
Yeah, it'll be like that, but just cats, bad stuff on them.
It's a real hygiene issue, actually.
A tri-giene issue, I think.
Hey, look, here we go.
A bit of fur.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But hey, here we go.
A thousand bucks, up for grabs to go towards going to Japan.
And maybe avoiding those cat cafes.
Your letter will be the letter P.
Okay.
P for pet.
P for pussy.
P cat.
Poo.
Yep.
Okay.
Here are the rules.
Caitlin, you cannot repeat your answers.
Your time will begin when I finish saying the first category.
And if you do get stuck, you can say pass.
And hopefully we'll have time to get back to it, okay?
Okay, perfect.
Here we go.

Oh, cool.
Yeah, sorry about that.
It is pretty intense in the moment.
I'd never do it.
We encourage people to call, but I'd never call it, but I'd never get it.
No, but Caitlin, even though you have not succeeded and got $1,000,
here's why you should call, you've won $100, my friend.
Congratulations.
Awesome.
100 bucks.
There you go.
One tenth of the prize already, just for playing.
It's all thanks to BNZ.
Wherever you start from, BNZ has expert advice.
and tools you need it every step of your journey.
So make sure you play tomorrow, same time, same place,
a thousand bucks due to be won.
Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
The Warriors lost over the weekend.
NRL rugby team, which, you know, if you don't know,
they were in contention to go to the finals.
They've lost now, which means they won't play again until next year.
They can't win this year.
Yeah, and we had someone on the show last week,
who's a big Warriors fan.
His name's Connor, and he was so adamant
that it was this year, Warriors year.
that he got it permanently inked on his leg forever
that the Warriors were going to be the 2025 champions.
Yeah, we felt a little worried about him.
We thought we'd do a little health check on him today.
You don't want to say we were warriors.
True.
We were.
It's got life and attention.
We need that.
Connor, how are you feeling, mate?
Two days removed from this big game.
Yeah, I'm feeling all right.
I'm feeling acceptance over the whole situation, you know.
Yeah, we feel for you, Connor.
Can you paint a picture for us, mate?
So you watched the game.
Were you at the game?
Were you at your house, someone else's house?
And then really kind of tell us what went through your soul when the full-time whistle blew.
So yeah, I was at the game live.
Couldn't miss it.
During the first half really felt like up like we were in the game.
And then like as the second half went on, it was just like slowly like,
oh, you know, we can still win this.
Like we're still a chance.
And then just, I mean, after full times, it was just a bit like, oh, okay, realization is hit in.
You know, that's our season done.
But at the same time, like, proud through everything we went through this year to still make the finals with, like, yeah, all our injuries and whatnot happening.
That's good, man.
Love your sportsmanship.
Love your support.
Big question.
Are you removing the tat?
When are you removing the tat?
No, I'm keeping the tat.
I'm keeping the tat.
Okay, cool, cool, cool.
Is it anything you want to add to it or cross it out?
crossing it out or anything like that, man.
I'm just going to have to leave it for now.
And then when next year rolls around,
we'll see what happens.
Like, you know, if in 26, you know,
we're in the finals and we have a chance,
then, you know, I'll cross out the five to a six.
But, no, I'm content with it like as well.
I like your mentality of if the team's not very good next year,
you're not going to go ahead and cross it out now.
So it's possible it goes 2025, cross out 2028.
Like if we've got a good team in a few years.
It's smart.
And then you redo it there.
I quite like it.
Yeah, well, no, we'll have a good team next year, for sure.
But I'll maybe not jump the gun next year.
Well, I mean, you could jump the gun with other teams.
The Black Ferns, I'd say, pretty good.
Yeah, would you support women's rugby man?
Yeah.
Careful, would you?
Yeah.
Well, now, this is going to be my sports calf now
with the logos of all the teams I support,
so then it looks a bit better.
Yeah, I hate to be that guy,
but it would almost be sexist now
not to get a Black Fern's task.
tattoo, Connor.
So if we teamed that up for you.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got...
I'd be down.
Wait.
Would you?
If we teed up a tattoo artist to get a blackfin's tattoo for you, would you do it?
Yes.
Yeah, I would.
Oh, mate.
Oh, wow, that's so cool, Connor.
Let's tee it up, right?
Let's be real.
They're going to win the Rugby World Cup.
Like, there won't be any mistakes on this one.
So the tattoo is going to live up to it.
Yeah.
And we'll work out.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, because that brought some comfort after
the Warriors lost and then the All Blacks lost
and then thankfully stayed up to watch
the Black Ferns and yeah
like such a great game and
you know I'll definitely get a tattoo
for that for sure if you guys said something
got up with that. Let's do it man
done mate we will tee it up for you Connor
we're going to find a tattoo artist and we're going to get you this
blackburn's tattoo mate and you will have an accurate
New Zealand winning tattoo on your calf my friend
awesome I can't wait looking forward to it
I hate to put this out there into the universe but do we wait
until the black friends have actually got the gold medal.
No, no, no. We've got it. We've got it.
Yes, Tom.
Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Guys, this weekend, I went home and spent five hours of my time getting a tattoo at my leg.
So I got Ta-Moko, which is a traditional Māori tattoo.
So you're from the Hawks Bay right, and you wanted to go, why was it important?
important for you to go back there and get it.
Well, that's where I'm from.
My Iwi's from there.
Nati Pahua where to shout out from the East Coast.
And I always wanted to get this tattoo in my life, some kind of tamoko.
And tamoko, for reference, it's like kourus.
You know, like on the back of an Air New Zealand plane, that's a kuru, and a lot of those
patterns are in tamokos.
And it's like the story of your life, right?
Yeah.
So like, I went to see this guy, this tattoo artist, and we sit down.
and we have a cordiro, like we chat.
He's like, just tell me your story.
Like, tell me your story.
So I sit down for about an hour with him
and just talk about my whole life.
It was a bit awkward at the beginning.
I'm like, I tell him some things.
I'm like, what do you mean?
Like, just tell my story.
Like, he's like, I can't say anything.
It's up to you.
Like, it's up to you all right.
And I went way back.
Really?
And I was like, yeah, to the point of it was like,
oh, yeah, you know, at school,
the cultural lunches I always felt like a bit of an outcar
because I'm very pale skin.
Like, I'm a very pale ginger,
if you'd know what I'd look like.
but Moldy Dad, white mum
So that's where this little combination comes from
I was kind of talking about all that and stuff
And then my journey and everything
About how I'm here today
And then we get into it
And I lay on the table
And he just like free hands the whole thing
Just like free hands
What it might look like
Oh triggering Sean
Literally yesterday mate
Sorry literally yesterday
Is it still sore like after the fact
Like today is it still?
Oh look at it
It's quite rare
It's beautiful.
It's awesome, man.
It's so cool.
It goes from the, what's this area?
The ankle, back of the ankle?
Do you mind if we put a picture up on the air jarbos and the sorrows?
People can see it if they want?
So, like, yeah, absolutely.
So the back of my ankles are like up, you know, the opposite side of my knee.
Yeah, under your knee.
That's beautiful.
The lines are perfect.
It was the worst pain of experience in my life.
Yeah, again with the needle.
Sorry, sorry.
It was an eight out of ten pain for like four hours.
just like going at it
just over a hot,
it felt like a hot burning knife
to my legs.
I think it's interesting
that you've got this,
like it's amazing,
you've got the most cultural tattoo
I think of anyone I know.
It's this beautiful piece
that tells your story.
It covers your entire leg.
It's so significant to you.
But then on the other side of the coin
you've got like an outline
of Bubolo Bill on your arm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's really both ends of the spectrum.
I love that.
Honestly, and like I got a little flower tattoo
in the summer.
It's a tiny flower tattoo.
And like everyone was going like,
gosh, I hope you're ready for this, man.
It's going to really hurt.
Didn't even think about the pain.
I'm just so proud and really want to get it.
I haven't even thought about the pain.
I was like, oh, guys, I've had tattoos before.
Nothing like this.
Like, this was out the gate.
This was horrendous.
And so a few months ago, your dad actually got a leg tattoo, eh?
So, can you speak to, like, was he, like, super proud of you?
Because he was a little bit in the studio with you and, you know, he was there for you.
Is he, it must have been a beautiful, like, father-son moment.
It was really, it was.
He was quite emotional.
Yeah.
You know, and, like, we're all humble.
It was quite a big moment.
That's amazing.
And then he texts me,
he dropped me off at the airport last night,
and he texts me as soon as I walked into the airport.
It goes,
Love our weekend, G.
I'm so proud that you committed to the Tamuoko.
That means so much to me.
I love you and just wear it with pride.
You don't need to justify it to anyone.
You might be pale, but you're mouldy in your heart,
and you know that.
Your ancestors have got your back.
I love you.
Thank you for sharing that.
That's really beautiful.
That's so whole.
So, yeah, a pretty big moment, guys.
I'm very proud to wear it.
And, yeah.
So, see, it looks incredible.
Thank you.
We'll chuck a photo on EJAava's Instagram.
And shout out to Charles Paranghi Tai.
He was a tattoo artist, toy dark on Instagram and TikTok.
And hit him up.
Yeah, he'll give you a free hand job.
Pardon?
He'll give you a free hand job.
Oh, you may, like, but, oh, God.
No, no.
He's a free hand.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a free hand job.
Sorry, you're going to put us there.
Follow to Toy Dark on social.
He'll give you a free hand.
He'll give you a free hand space job.
Yeah.
Tattoo.
It doesn't use a stenture.
Yeah.
Up next on the edge Arvos.
I knew.
I was waiting.
I was waiting for some kind of games.
It was getting too serious and too emotional.
They had to change it up.
They'd change it up.
Your Arvose hit harder with Sean,
Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
The Edge 5 star fact.
This is the part of the show where I bring a fact to the table
and our judging panel will rate it on
relatability, shareability and
no,
originality.
shareability and performance got already stuffed it up.
There's a point, go on.
It's important that you know what we're looking for.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Right, and a guest judge today,
we might do this more regularly,
but we wanted you to call through on 0800 the edge
to partake in the judging.
And Tania, are you up for it?
Do you normally hear Sean's Five Stuff Act attempts?
No, not really.
Okay.
Oh, tough judge.
Yeah.
Not a pretty good judge, actually,
because he's got no preconceived notions.
on how this segment usually goes.
Usually.
Yeah, okay.
I'm very excited to have a guest charge.
And what exactly are you looking for, Tanya?
Well, I'm not exactly bright,
so anything to widen my horizon would be nice.
Love that, a blank canvas, if you will, Tanya.
Well, I'm hoping...
That's one way looking at it.
Tanya, you are as bright as the sun, okay?
Thanks.
You are a beautiful gift.
on planet Earth, Tanya, and it's an absolute
honour to have you joining us.
And we hope you had seen player, Tanya,
because we are very excited to have you on our judging panel.
Thank you.
All right, Tanya.
She's great.
Steph Harrison, are you married, Tanya?
Married?
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Great. Well, you'll relate to this.
The fact is about marriage today.
Today's five-star fact is
that in the Republic of Congo,
the bride and groom can't smile on their wedding
day.
Now the reason for this is it's a cultural thing throughout the entire day.
The ceremony, the reception and even in wedding photos, you do not smile.
And if you do, it shows that you're not serious about the commitment you're making.
Wow.
So if you ever see anyone from the Republic of Congo, you've got any friends from there and you see
their wedding photos and they just look very, very serious, that's what?
Because they're showing their commitment.
Wow.
What if someone does something, like slips over behind the camera and everyone cracks up?
They're like, ah!
And then it's caught on film.
That would be a big no-no.
Yeah, really bad.
I don't want to be insensitive, but like,
the wedding's a bit dire if no one's, like, you know.
It's a part of the fun.
It's having a good time.
Yeah.
Like, imagine if you've married the love of your life and you don't smile.
Do you know?
What do you think, Tanya?
Well, I don't know.
It was not ideal, is it?
But I think you could have done better with your fact, to be fair.
Oh.
Wait, you think the delivery wasn't ideal,
or you think the fact in general was not ideal that it exactly?
Well, that's not really relevant, is it?
Not really relatable.
Okay.
She's sticking in criteria.
She's only got to get her on that.
Tanya, it's hard.
Tanya's first comment, it goes,
not ideal.
Yeah, I mean, we all want to smile
on the way home right now, right?
You know, during your drive-time commute,
we want to feel uplifted and good
and smiley and giggly, and that's just kind of
kind of brought the vibe down.
Yeah, kind of telling us not to smile, man,
it's weird.
I don't know why you do that.
If that's what they're doing at weddings,
what are they doing at funerals?
Oh, man, they're bloody happier funerals.
Smiles all around.
No, that's not a proven fact.
No, okay.
All right.
Judge Harrison, what will be your mark out of five for that one?
It's not the best fact, Shulma.
To give me a bit of a surprise, I was quite shocked at this.
I'd love to witness one of those weddings.
I'll give it a three and a half.
Okay.
Judge Steph, me, I quite like the music.
I love that little beat to that Congo song.
I thought it was cool.
But, oh, here it is again.
Beautiful stuff.
Oh, very good.
Paul, I'll be a three and a half.
Look it in, lock it in.
And Judge Tanya, out of five stars, what are you giving that fact?
A week, two.
Oh, no.
I love Tanya.
Tanya, our guest judge today.
No, no, me.
Never apologise, Tanya.
It's your opinion.
I appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Now, today is the day that the Emmy Awards are on.
but it's also the day that Bird of the Year voting has opened,
which is a prestigious New Zealand Award.
It's happened for the last decade.
Every year, people around the globe vote,
and a bird is named Bird of the Year.
Some big ones have been named there over the years.
We had the Kakapur back in 2020, the Kia, 2017.
In 2015, the bar-tailed Godwit.
Oh, for a bird.
Every year I learned that we have more and more birds
that I've never heard of before.
And that is, in lies the purpose of Bird of the Year.
year. Although one year, a few years back, we've gone like three, four years back. Remember the bat
one? That really, really... A bat one? Yeah, the bat one. The bat should have never been
considered in Bird of the Year. As a bird, though, isn't it? Well, it's not a bird. It's a mammal.
Yeah, exactly. You're referring to 2021 when the long-tailed bat did win Bird of the Year.
Very controversial. It still makes me mad. Now, Bird of Year became so popular when sitcom host
John Oliver got around it a few years ago. And then the more we looked at it, we realized it's not actually
restricted just to New Zealand this contest. Anyone can campaign for a bird. That seemed like
a vulnerability in their system that somebody could exploit. We were happy to be that somebody.
So we are now the official campaign manager for the Puteke-Tecchi, which is what I am right now.
So this particular year, it shot up from about 300 votes to 600,000 votes.
And that was after he inhaled with helium that night on that, shall I?
It does sound pretty high. He does have to finish that.
And then he's obviously campaigned for it hard. He's, he's, he's, he's,
slanded other birds.
How dare you say
I don't like birds? I love
them. I just don't like your bird
because it looks like Donkey Kong's
hairy testicle. That's him talking about the
Kiwi.
They won't even let some of these big
contenders come back in and be voted for
again like the Kia or the Kakapo.
If you've won at once, they kind of want it
to elevate these smaller birds. The world's
fattest parrot, the Kakapur, has been kicked out.
Melissa, why? Well, because
as won two times previously, 2020
and 2008,
too big for its boots.
Well, what they're worried about is that it's taking the spotlight from lesser-known birds.
I love how seriously we take bird of the year as a nation.
Yeah, oh, absolutely.
It's a big deal.
So this year, I'd love us all to get around a bird.
I've done a lot of research, and there's a bird that's never before we even been nominated,
and I'd love us to back it this year.
Okay, okay, well, hold on.
What bird?
The bird's called the long-tailed caku, or in Māori, the Koeia.
Alright, now I've got a photo on the desk
If you guys want to flip it over
This is the bird I think we should
Campaign for us
Oh, it looks like a...
Jeez, it's awful.
Cucobara?
Yeah, kind of.
The long tail?
Yeah, a little bit.
Oh.
Now the reason it's so...
It's got a long tail, obviously.
Beautiful plumage.
I love this bird because it breeds in New Zealand
and then when it gets cold,
it just efts off to the islands
for the whole year.
It spends its whole year in Raritonga
Summer Cook Islands.
It's kind of like most Kiwi, so in the window
it just bugs off.
Wow.
That's what this bird does.
It's quite lazy.
it never raises its own checks
instead it just lays eggs in other birds' nests
and then gets them to raise it
and they raise them on behalf of them.
Lazy?
Bastard.
And, yeah, the other bird will just raise its offspring.
Wow.
And then, yeah, when it does migrate over to the Cook Islands
every single year, just ditches its kids and goes over there.
They don't travel in flocks, they just go alone.
Which is like super unique for a bird.
So it's just a bit of a drop kick.
And I kind of love that.
What's the name again?
It is called the long-tailed caco.
or coer coer in Māori
Interesting
So he's just
He's a lazy bastard
Yeah he's kind of on the benefit
Do you want to afterback this bird as well
I would love if everyone
Yeah you two
The listeners as well
I'd love to vote for this
The Long Tail cucko
If we can get that in there
For a bird that doesn't really like being in our country
Yeah
Well I think let's raise awareness around it
And maybe we can encourage it to stay
Yeah
Can I vote one?
Yeah sure
Seagull.
Why are you voting for the seagull?
A seagull's a terrible bird.
It's a lovely bird.
The rat of the sky's always around.
It brings like a lot of memories for people.
Oh, the seagull can't be bird of the year.
I think it should definitely be a bit of the year.
Oh no.
Do you want to vote anybody, Steph?
Yeah, I'll vote for me.
If a bat can win, then surely a radio presenter can win
would bird of the year.
Hey, all.
You're avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Guys, I'm an actor, if you didn't know that.
did that before I did radio
and now I dabble in a bit of both
and probably the hardest part
of being an actor is auditioning
it's like it's a job of rejection
you get rejected every single audition
I reckon the math is
for me at least every 60 auditions I do
I might get one
and that could be like
a very small role in something
could be a stunt man
could be a guy drinking coffee in the back
when you're like oh bugger
after all that work
I just get one role.
So it's tough out there.
But I had a audition today.
It's top secret.
I can't say what it's for.
But it's to host a game show.
No, that's massive, man.
Yeah, it'll be a host.
On TV?
Yes.
Wow.
Yeah, like a TV show.
And I haven't really been a host.
I don't know, I'm a radio host,
but I'm just usually active characters, you know.
So to be myself in host, I was like, oh my God,
I'm so nervous.
And then I go in, and there's a few other people there.
I'm like, oh, I know that person.
I recognized a lot of these people.
I was like, oh my gosh, they're like presenters.
They're like, all these people.
Like, they've hosted shows before.
I've seen them host shows.
I was like, it's all right, man.
Like, give it a crack.
You got this.
So I walk in, I'm probably there for, honestly,
20 minutes because she just wants to keep doing it over and over.
She goes, better.
You can do it even better.
I do it again.
And like, we just push so hard to know it.
She goes, now that is perfect.
I was like, oh my gosh, thank you so much.
And I was like, what do you reckon?
Do you really got a chance?
She said, you definitely got a chance?
everyone's got a chance.
I was like, okay.
That's cool.
That's awesome.
It was perfect.
Yeah, and I felt it.
And because I never hosted.
I was very nervous, I just felt it.
And I just, do you mind if I perform some of it to you?
I love that.
I'm surprised you didn't get us to help you with it before.
I know, I know.
All right, so this is kind of like, so imagine I'm kind of, you know, on this island
and I'm looking at down the barrel of the lens.
Okay.
And I'm presenting to the TV.
So this is exactly how I did it in the audition.
and this is what I reckon is going to get me the job.
Kilda Koto!
And welcome to the exciting new game show, Catching Feelings.
Pardon?
Yeah.
I know the script.
You know the script?
Mm-hmm.
No, you don't know the script.
How do you know the script?
Just let me, sorry, hold on.
Maybe, yeah, I'll just do this, but, sorry.
Catching Fairling.
It's got this.
We're going to search the country to unearth some of the Nina singles along with their incredible partners.
No, I definitely.
I know the script, I auditioned as well.
I auditioned.
Oh!
I auditioned for the exact same thing that you audition.
Why are you auditioning?
What do you make?
Why am I auditioning?
You're like actor?
But I'm a host.
Why are you doing one?
No, this is my life.
I'm not being mad.
This is like, my thing I had to do the forecloth.
This is the first time ever that someone else's auditioned for the same thing as Harrison on the show.
Every 60 auditions, I get one and this is the one.
I've got this.
I've got this.
You did it.
Yeah, we're pretty good.
I mean, I'm not here doing like a whole moment on radio.
about it but like I'm pretty confident
I'm like pretty confident
guys I've got something to have Matt's
no I wasn't asked to do it
but I think we've got to put this to
we're got to settle this because I can't we can't have
you two both going for a role
did you actually audition for it today I promise why do you not say
anything because it's like an outside of the edge thing
oh you're just being so cool about it what you're being called about it
it's hard work
okay well I'm yeah well done
maybe for you all the best
No, but I'm glad she said it was perfect for you.
It was perfect.
What did they say for you?
I mean, again, I'm going to keep my cars close to my chest,
but imagine a word better than perfect.
That's what I can't think of one.
Exactly.
Okay, well, here's what I'm thinking, right?
We can't let this divide the team.
Okay, if Steph does get it, Harrison, we can't, you know,
and vice versa, if Harrison gets it, Steph.
So I think one of you, the only way to do this,
and I don't have a horse in the race,
it's easy for me to say, I think one of you needs to withdraw from contention.
Yeah, cheers.
Thank you, Steph.
One of you needs to step back
And I think we need a listener to decide who
It's my whole career
I'm working with the most kind of stuff to do so
You won't tell me what it is
You said it's embargoed that's okay
It's a game show, we know that
We'll give you two songs
You two have to prep a game show
I'll 800 the edge if you would like
To be our listener judge
You can decide right now
I think we will have to agree
To let one listener
Decide which one of you
Pulls themselves from contention for this role
It's fair
It's just got so nervous
Where the people's show
The people should decide
Who gets to do this
Your Arvose Head Harder
With Sean
Steph and Harrison
The Edge
No, a bit of an awkward moment
just happened if you just missed it
first time ever on the show
Harrison's an actor
if you didn't know
there's a few acting auditions
in the morning before work
Steph does a bit of presenting
and stuff as well
and Harrison was just
kind of talking about
an audition that he did this morning
that went very well
The best I'd ever done
honestly the best audition I'd ever done
Turns out, Steph foursies
Funny, confident
Also had the same audition
Yeah so we're both going for the same job
essentially aren't we?
It's crazy though, I didn't know
and you know he did acting, so that's pretty great.
It's only acting as I was doing, isn't it?
Right, sure.
No, look, you can cut the tension with a knife.
I've gone, guys, I think,
just for the good of the show,
we can't have this kind of competitive spirit.
I think one of you needs to withdraw yourself
from competition.
Okay.
One of you needs to go look and remove yourself from it.
I think there's only one fair way to do it.
Stanley from Timoroo is going to decide.
Stanley, welcome to the show.
Thank you.
Good to have you here, Stanley.
So the way this is going to work,
these two are both auditioning,
host the game show. So what's going to happen is
Stanley, you're going to be the viewer at home. These two
are both going to pitch their game show to me. I'll be the
contestant. You just watch it in the background, Stanley,
and then you will be the be-all and say,
or you'll decide which one of them
is the best at it and which one of them has to
withdraw themselves, okay?
Okay, this sounds good. All right.
Who we go first? Steph? All right, I don't am I going
first. Give it a crack. Stanley's judging our
hosting, not the game itself, right? Yeah.
Okay. How long do I have?
Let's go one minute age.
Okay, okay. You got a minute of material there?
We'll see.
Aki-do.
Just let me know when to begin.
Okay, take it away.
Kiyo!
Koto and welcome along to Audible Olympics.
It is an honour and a privilege to be on your television screens tonight,
New Zealand.
Othero, what a beautiful gutray!
Let's get going!
So, our contestant is Sean.
Hello, you are 30 years old.
You're from the beautiful Mount Monga Nui
and your task in Audio Olympics.
You'll be on a children's playground.
I'm going to give you different
noises that you have to say while you're doing different activities on the children's playground
but be careful Sean of course with any good game show there's a twist and your twist is
open the box in front of you contestant Sean um okay oh it's a big box of mosquitoes
so oh god this is awful while you're being chased by mosquitoes Sean please go on the audio
monkey bars yeah okay
All right, now we're going through the tunnel.
Oh, I'm going through the tunnel.
Conclusion, please, Sean, down the slide.
What a fantastic time.
That's going to be hard to beat 15.4 seconds.
Well done, Sean.
So is it like an Ultimate Ninja Warrior show kind of thing?
Yeah, I think so.
Okay.
All right, Stanley, what did you think of that?
Of Steph's presenting style for that game show?
I think it's pretty good.
I think I focus too much on the actual...
What's what Harrison has to bring.
Like the game show aspect of it?
Thanks, yeah.
Yeah, you're a bit mumbly of a words and stuff too.
Oh, okay.
If you've just tuned in, these two are both auditioning for a game show at the moment,
so we're going to decide on here which one actually gets to audition for it.
All right, Harrison, take it away.
For four billion years, humankind has always...
Uh, poor.
He's reading a script, by the way, Stanley.
Yeah, yeah, no, just...
Human kind has always...
Human kind has always been so kind.
But why?
Because you ugly.
That's right.
Kiora Koto.
New Zealand and welcome back to who's the ugliest.
Sean,
oh, that's pretty bad, eh?
Who's the ugliest?
Sorry, I wasn't really at you.
Sorry, yeah, okay, well, I'm here now.
I didn't know.
Is this all your audition?
Four teams of three will, uh, three,
14, two will fight.
Ah, geez, do get nervous.
Okay, uh, four,
four threes will fight sand.
Although we're on a beach, don't want a beach doing this.
Cash, big prize.
Five million dollars, Sean.
Five million.
bucks?
$500. $500. $500.
You ugly.
Sorry, you said your audition for a game show today as a host and they said it was perfect.
I got by the vice.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm nervous, mate.
We're out there.
Yeah, that's so.
Bring it on, Steph.
Good luck with that.
But I reckon, yeah.
All right, Stanley, I'm going to leave this one to you, mate.
What do you reckon?
Who has to withdraw themselves from contention for this job?
Yeah, look.
I really had high hopes to Harrison.
It could have been a lot better.
What was, name one thing that was wrong with it, please.
No, don't worry about that.
Rip the band out of Stanley.
It's Harrison who needs to withdraw himself.
Steph can keep going for it.
Correct?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's going to be correct.
Sorry, Harrison.
Thank you, Ted.
It's all good standards.
Work your whole life.
You're at least school and everything, and this is what happens, when you?
When you're in the spotlight, you're fumble.
Wait, wait.
You're a professional, eh, though, so.
You've got it.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Thanks, Stan.
You're avos head harder
With Sean, Steph and Harrison
The Edge
And one member of the show, our producer,
our brand new producer, Nurse Sam,
will never forget what happened to her on Friday.
660, we're live in studio
and Sam, you've talked about this before,
you are a massive 660 fan.
I am, I am.
We actually clip this moment off from last week's show.
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's nice. It means a lot to me that song.
So that happened earlier in the week.
We wanted to do something nicely.
We had 660 coming in.
So we actually clipped that video off.
We sent it to Marchu, the lead singer,
and we said, hey, this is our producer.
She really loves you.
She loves the song.
Is there any way you'd do something special for her?
And this happened when they came in on Thursday.
Sam, we want to come in here.
Come join us in the studio.
Really?
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on.
Get on in here.
You take my seat.
March, you've got a surprise he wants to tell you.
Hey, that was really sweet.
Well, I was sent the video yesterday, and it's really beautiful.
And thank you for being such a supporter and for listening to the music.
And so I brought this rusty guitar and I want to play a bit of that song.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay?
I had to practice this morning.
I know.
Yeah.
Run.
you walk
sing
before you talk
look
until you see
fly
before you leave
thought I was holding up the world
but I wasn't even standing
looked down and I was
empty-handed
Oh, it was until I felt the way
You can kind of hear Sam crying in the background
The video's live now if you want to see it
Yes
How's it to relive that and watch the video now
On the internet of you being all so emotional
No, it's cool because in the moment
I don't know, my heart was racing
And you're wanting to take everything in in the moment
But afterwards, I don't know
I guess I was flustered so it's hard to relive it
It's good to have the video so that I can relive it
And everyone else can watch it as well.
EJAVos on Insta.
It's not every day that you get a private concert
from your favorite artist
doing the favorite song of yours as well.
No, not at all.
It's incredible.
Like, amazing.
Who if you guys had a private concert,
like one on one,
just like Sam with Muchie from 660
the other day on the show,
and they performed a song.
Who would you guys pick and why?
Take McCrow.
Oh, okay.
I don't even need to ask you why.
Would it actually be Tate McCray?
I mean, I love the music.
She's pretty cool.
I'd like a private concert from her.
Would it be any particular song?
Nah, would it be,
nah, any song would say for a great,
but also that, an emotional one,
like Coldplay,
like Chris Martin's singing to you.
Yeah, like yellow or something.
Something fixed you.
Yeah, songs that have got you through tough moments in life.
Like for Sam, for example, before you leave,
right, that's a song that's got you through some tough places.
So maybe take, with Coldplay, great one.
Coldplay, it's fixed you.
I've got one.
I've got one.
I've got one.
Mine is a song that means the world to me
because when I was, you guys have heard about this
but when I was 16, I got dumped
and I got my heart torn to shreds
and smithereens and stomped on.
And what song got me through
my very first heartbreak
was every time by Britney Spears.
This is the song?
This is it.
So this is, if you're going to have any artists, it would be Brittany performing this to you.
We'd have to hide the knives and the candles.
What?
You know.
That's from new Brittany.
Have you seen her Instagram?
I thought when you listen to the song, you bring out the knives and candles.
Jeez, girl.
Do some spots listen to a Britann.
Crab to be dumb, but fun.
Come on now.
Mine would be a song that I've actually got tattooed on myself.
This is I went through a bit of an emotional period in my life.
I'm not going to talk too much about it.
but Bonnevour, Resacks, this song here.
Oh, man.
What's going on?
Can you say a little bit?
Nah, I don't really want to talk about it, to be honest.
Probably there's a big shift in my life,
kind of left me overseas for a bit.
And I got this tattooed on my body, this song here.
So I've tried to see him live twice.
He's cancelled coming to New Zealand twice.
I've never seen him live before.
And it's like my goal to see the song live.
So for me, it would be this one.
So let's open this up to you.
I would hand with the edge.
Because in an ideal situation, we'd love to be able to be able to make
this happened for someone else. It was so cool seeing it happen for Sam. It's something that you
never get an opportunity to do. So I wait 100 The Edge. What is a song that means a lot to you?
Here's the artist that you would love to see live performing one song to you in the flesh in a one-on-one
concert. And why? What's the story behind it? Yeah.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.
Ed Shearin, Arzy-Zam on the Edge. Sean, Stefan Harrison, obviously that would be an iconic
song to see live and intimate in the flesh.
This comes off the back of last week.
You can see the video right now on Edge Arvo's
Instagram if you'd like to.
Producer Nurse Sam is such a big
fan of 660. We teed up
March you to perform
Before you leave. Before you leave
for Sam. So we'd love to be able to do it
for someone else. In theory, 0-800
What is the song that you'd love to see
Live and Intimate performed to you
by an artist and what does it mean to you?
Rebecca from Auckland. What did you think of
Much you're singing that to Sam one-on-one.
It's pretty cool, eh?
Oh, he's got an absolutely beautiful voice.
Doesn't he?
Like, it's just so special.
The most talented man...
He's on no fault in his voice at all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Incredible, eh?
Rebecca, what would it be for you?
A one-on-one concert.
It's just you and sitting opposite you,
just like Sam and Mutu from 660 videos online, EJavos.
And just you're being serenated with one song, one artist.
Who would it be for you?
Mine would be
The Wonderful Teddy Swims
And the song Amazing
Oh
Male vocalist
He, his voice
Yeah
He is spectacular
And what's the story behind this one
Rebecca
As a mother of teenagers
You know
It's hard to express yourself sometimes
And songs like that can be
A way for
for you to be able to express yourself,
especially when they're teenagers
and they don't want to communicate with you.
You know, just letting them know that they are amazing human beings.
Oh, Rebecca, you can hear that you're getting emotional.
You are an incredible mum for saying that.
What a wonderful woman you are.
It's bringing a tear to my eye now.
That's real good.
Sharon Harrison, you guys have been teenage boys.
Yep.
I've definitely been a teenage boy and I've looked back and gone.
I wish I didn't have so much attitude towards my mum back then and stuff.
But Rebecca, when they do grow up, they'll know that they might have been a bit rude or a bit cheeky and they'll give you love, but they will.
Yeah, for sure.
They'll regret it and they'll love you.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, they're very hard to deal with, but at the end of the day, you love them and you want them to know they're amazing.
But gosh, it can be hard sometimes to express it.
100%.
Oh, well, thanks so much for sharing that with us.
I don't know Teddy Swims is actually in the country soon.
Yeah, in October.
So we'll see what we can do.
Yeah, absolutely.
can do.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Join in studio right now by a brand new member of the team,
first day in the office.
I mean, we all remember our first day, Emma.
Emma's her name.
Welcome, by the way.
Welcome, Emma.
You listen to The Edge your whole life.
And then you come here and you finally get to see how the sausage is made.
You get your first day on the job.
How has it been today?
Oh, it's been a whirlwind.
Don't get me wrong.
Lots of people, lots of friendly faces, you know.
Just getting into it.
It's really nice, though.
Yeah.
It is nice and it is nice to have you here, Emma.
I, just on behalf of the team here, we feel that when new people come,
we usually get to have like the final kind of interview with them.
Oh, I see.
Like after the decisions, you know, then the decision kind of gets made,
but it's kind of like, oh, what does the edge avish think about the new people?
Yeah.
And so we must have, I don't know, missed an email, slip past us.
I'm normally pretty good at checking my email, so I don't know why we're not included in this one.
We usually have the final say this one wasn't run past us.
Yeah, yeah.
Right, right.
a few questions to make sure that you are, make sure you can have this job.
Let's be real.
We do hold a bit of power and I reckon this will be the final interview for you.
Perfect.
Even though it's your first day of the job.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, yeah, we'll figure that out.
Perfect.
Yeah, we're still dealing with this news that you're headed out.
You know, that stuff.
Once again, don't want to freak you out on your first day.
Welcome to the team.
Could not be more excited to have you here.
Possibly.
But you'll be able to pass in the team.
So we're just going to be careful around that wedding.
Perfect.
First question
Who is Taylor Swift?
She is about to marry Travis Kelsey
Pretty good
I think we'll just keep our comments
Silence
We don't want to leave
You know
Apologise
Lead any false impressions
But yep
Which female pop artist
Recently released an album
Oh
Sabrina Carpenter
Not reacting
Not reacting
When was the Edge founded
Oh okay
You've lost me there
Interesting
Do you know the answer to that thing?
I don't know.
I mean, on behalf of Emma, whose first date is at the edge in the office today,
I mean, I wouldn't even know that answer.
Yeah, okay.
I'm actually not sure either.
Okay, thank you.
Those are all the questions.
So you can breathe.
Oh, thank God.
For the second, because the big reason we actually do want to get you in here, Emma, is your name.
What's wrong with my name?
This is awkward.
This is kind of in the radio.
They do this a lot with shows and people.
If there's two people with the same name, can't be in.
Someone has to change.
Yeah.
And we've got another person in the office called Emma.
We do.
And she was here before you.
So actually now falls on you to change the name.
Me.
Okay.
And this is, yeah.
Sorry, the boss maybe didn't run this past you,
but this is a serious thing.
It's taken this seriously.
It's very normal.
Very normal in radio.
Like there were two Clints on here at the same time.
One of them had to change their name.
Al Clinton had to be known as Randall for a bit there.
No way we won't make you go through the legal process just yet
of legally changing your name.
We will need to come up with an alternative name to refer to you as,
because I'm sure you understand.
We go Emma from the office,
listeners go,
which Emma from the office.
It's becomes more complicated
than it needs to be.
So I'd like to throw out
just an idea.
Yeah, open to ideas.
Absolutely, yeah.
Wendy.
Hold on, let me just check
if there's any Wendy's in the office
at the moment.
There is actually.
There is a Wendy.
Yeah, Wendy.
See you.
Hort, there hasn't been to Rebecca
for a few years
and she was the boss years ago,
so it's like a powerful name.
Yeah, yeah.
And then, you know, some good connotations.
Yeah.
Power.
Okay, it's an option.
It's an option.
This is my grandmother.
Gwendolyn.
Oh, I like Gwen.
Interesting.
I quite like that.
Yeah, I could go, you know, nice little...
Gwen from the office.
Yeah.
Okay, what about my grandmother's name?
Maureen?
Moraine, that's another good option.
No, that sounds like Moore FM.
Oh, okay, yeah.
It's confusing.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, couple more.
Backna.
Backner.
I like that, unique.
And if someone else comes with that name,
we're probably not going to have to change their name
because it's unlikely.
That's true.
Yeah, that makes it easy.
It's a backner out there.
It's a process.
Bushley.
I'm so, where are you finding that one?
Well, these are names
because there's already other people.
Lots of people work in this office.
We don't want to double up.
Right, right, right.
P.
Just pur.
Hey, P, up over there on the computer, what's up?
And then when you're saying, what's up, Pah, P.
You're like, what's up?
Pupp.
Yeah.
No?
That could get a bit, yeah.
Slither shin.
Okay, I think we need to go back to regular.
The name.
This is words.
What we're going to do.
Day one, Emma from the office,
joining us in studio.
Text in, everyone listening to 33443
with why Emma should be renamed your name.
Text us why she should be known as whatever you're called.
Give us a reason.
And Emma, you're going to have 24 hours left known as Emma
because you will be reborn this time tomorrow
to one of our listeners' names.
Perfect.
I'll let my family know to...
Yeah, yeah.
I've born them.
Family, friends, Facebook name.
We've started that process now.
You don't really like the name in the Emma anyway, eh?
No, no, too common.
Thank you.
This is why we do this process.
That's actually perfect.
Well, welcome to the team.
Thanks, guys.
I would not be happier to have you.
Welcome.
Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
A few minutes ago, we asked you to text in 3343.
Who you think out of Sean, Steph or Harrison,
a soul to a woman at a cafe over the weekend.
A few texts here, Sean, Harrison,
I'm not going to lie.
Not many cents.
All I can see is Sean.
Sean, Sean.
No, no, he spelled my name wrong.
Harris is a nice tat.
Yeah, it's for something different.
I'm going to get ahead of that.
It wasn't me.
It was actually Steph.
It's out of character for you, Steph,
so we thought we'd bring it up as friends of yours
just to try and, I know,
because the news cycle is going to get around this.
Is it true that you assaulted a woman with a bike?
Was that it?
Okay.
You hit her with a bike.
Steve, we've all been cancelled.
It's okay.
So we just want to try and have you out here.
right?
What were you cancelled for?
I can't talk about it anymore.
Okay.
Obviously.
I forgot.
Okay, let me clear up the rumours, everybody,
because I don't want this...
I don't want people to freak out, thinking Steph's, like, hurt somebody.
I haven't.
I accidentally...
All I'm going to say is Bieber came back.
Who?
Bieber, he came back.
He had a few assault things.
He came back.
Oh, right, right, right, right.
No, here, he threw toilet paper on a house.
I'm really real with you.
I'm really just out the gate just to, this is just for court and everything.
You can't say you were sold with someone and said you didn't hurt them because I think you did hurt them.
Okay, so let me clarify.
I accidentally hit somebody, but I didn't hurt them.
And so what happened was, now really listen, because I really want you guys all listening to know
that I would never in a thousand million years purposefully hurt somebody.
But look, it was a busy Saturday morning, and I had the dog lead in one hand.
And he's a golden retriever.
He's a monster.
He's huge.
He's very strong and he's pulling, right?
So he's kind of out of control.
We're walking into this cafe, dog-friendly cafe.
And then in my other hand, I'm holding the massive napy bag.
Now, you guys...
Jeez, how much was the boy unload?
No, no, no.
So it's just the bag of, like, clean naffies for just in case.
You said a massive nappy bag.
Does you bring heaps out?
In case my baby does a poo when we're out and about,
then we're prepared.
We've got a change of clothes in there.
We've got a snacks in there.
We've got all of his be nappies in there is everything.
It's jam-packed and it's on my back and it kind of acts me
but it's balance a bit, especially when it's on one shoulder,
hanging off one shoulder, the dog's in the other hand.
Under my armpit, because I'm out of hands at this point,
is my son's trike.
And as I'm walking into the cafe, there's a thousand things happening.
Sean, why are you playing Sirens?
It's going to freak everyone out driving right now.
I'm just sitting in the crime scene.
I happened.
I accidentally knocked a lady who was,
sitting at the table eating her breakfast at this cafe with the trike in the back of her head.
Oh.
Now, I want to point out the trach's made of plastic.
I also want to point out she didn't even move.
Okay, she didn't even look behind her to be like, oi, or like anything.
How old do you reckon?
Oh, my 60s?
No way.
Oh, my God.
She was unaffected.
So she's probably not coming back from it, you reckon?
No, she continued with her breakfast.
She's fine.
I did say sorry.
I kind of like swore under my breath a bit.
I was like, oh my God, I'm so embarrassed.
I'm so sorry.
So that's...
And you had her so hard that she didn't even read us
that someone was talking to her.
She was out cold.
I want to quash the rumors.
Woman's day, stop calling me.
There's no story here.
Okay?
Okay.
Well, thank you for clearing that up.
Someone just texted in.
I pulled over thinking it was the police.
Oh, sorry.
That wasn't the police that was made.
Steph, that is good you've cleared that,
but I did get flooded with messages over the weekend.
And it was a bit sad.
I think we can ring it out.
It was a bit sad.
But people were sending me photos of you.
True story.
At a cafe
and they go,
I think she needs help.
She soiled herself in public.
And like from different angles
and different people are going,
oh my God,
is Steph okay?
She's off her rocker.
Like she's lost it.
Did you get photos?
Yeah, yeah.
They were like, oh my God,
is she addicted to something?
Like she's out in public
at a cafe.
Did you have an episode?
Yeah, crap all over your pants.
Episode.
Look, okay.
Can I clarify that rumor as well?
Yeah.
And I hate that you've got little minions
around sharing photos of me to you.
Yeah.
But what happened?
And it was the following day.
It was Sunday.
It was yesterday.
And I was at a different cafe.
Right.
And I was sitting there again with my baby in the high chair next to me.
Stop with the sirens, Sean.
Thank you.
And I was holding my flat white and it was,
I don't want to blame the barista here.
But it was very full.
It was too full.
I should have done the suck thing before I pull the mug to my mouth.
But it was very full.
I spilled the coffee.
It went all over my jeans, thus creating the illusion of soilage.
however it was on my lap.
So it was all over my thighs, a big wet,
and then when it dried, brown stain.
So that, I was going to clarify the rumours.
And look, if you think you did something foolish
on the weekend at a cafe, you didn't,
because I'm kind of ticking all those boxes for everybody,
so don't worry.
Yeah, there were no cups in the photos,
and one of the people who said,
she sent one of the photos of you,
went to the cafe staff and said,
what does she order the lake?
She hasn't ordered anything.
She just came in, sat down, shat and left.
Are you sure the bag of diapers were your sons?
Your Arvos Head Harder
with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Let's find out what the movies of the moment are.
Popcorn.
Phones off.
Another trailer for Harrison's movie corner.
Ah, guys, the movies, don't we love them?
Yeah?
Except those weird daybeds down the bottom
because I went and laid on one month with my brother
because I thought it would be nice
because we could lie down and watch the movie
and then I realise it was in bed with my brother.
Flash, though.
It's not always bad.
So I watched a few movies over the weekend.
Here's one that I watched at the cinema.
Teens participate in a grueling high-stakes contest
where they must continuously walk
or be shot by a member of the military.
And this movie's called The Long Walk.
They say you should make friends in the Long Walk.
I sort of like you three.
Let's be much serious.
All for one.
One for all.
And again, I need to hear it louder.
Off one.
And one for all.
So this movie's based off a Stephen King?
Yeah.
Stephen King book.
He's the horror author.
Yeah, and these boys, it's just boys.
dystopian movie.
Same director as the Hunger Gaines movies.
Oh, cool.
So it gives that vibe.
And they had to walk along a road for like 300 miles, just like keep walking.
That's the movie?
Yeah, that's the movie.
I saw that the PR like screening for this, a friend went to it in Australia,
and you watched it on a treadmill.
You had to walk while watching the movie.
Literally.
Uh-huh.
And like, it's a great, it's a real sad, emotional film.
Because they're like, oh, yeah, simple cons.
It's all that's going to happen.
But they get three strikes, three warnings, because he can stop or slow it out.
and by the third strike, you're dead.
Oh, it was like Squid Games?
Yeah, it was only one person standing,
and that person, well, they win,
they win whatever you want for the rest of your life.
Oh, whoa.
So do people try and stop each other?
Yeah, it gets a bit like that.
Oh, I want to watch that.
Oh, like tripping each other up at things.
Yeah, it's sabotaging each other.
Oh, cool.
It's a real good movie.
I highly recommend.
I gave that movie 3.5 cheesy garlic nuns out of five.
Okay.
Quite good.
Yeah.
Second movie, a 1986.
Paranormal Investigator's Ed and Lorraine Warren
and travel to Pennsylvania
to vanquish a demon
from a family's home.
This is called
The Conjuring Last Rights.
Jack and Janet Smirl Clinton,
evil presence has found its way into their home.
Eight people live in this house.
Eight people have experienced this.
Sorry, but scary.
No, I don't do that.
No, I don't do that.
Yep, these movies,
this is the 10th installment
in the Conjuring universe.
Oh, I had no idea.
Because they had, like, the nun, Annabelle,
like they had all those other ones.
A fast and furious of horror movies.
Literally.
The people that can watch.
horror movies, I just don't get those people.
Yeah, I kind of enjoy it, but I always
watch horror movies with my ears
blocked. Like I put my fingers in my ears?
Oh, that's so cute. Literally the whole movie, I'm like
this. Oh, that's so cute. Because some people
go pillow, some people go blanket, but you just go, finger in the ear holes.
Especially in the cinema, it's around sound.
It's very visual, though, I'd say, with all this stuff.
Yeah, yeah, as well as block it's, I know it's happening.
If you're watching a horror film in a cinema, you're a psychopath.
I've never done that in my life. Block you ears.
Because at least if you're at home, you've got an option to
to go, no, can't do this.
In a cinema, oh, no, no, no.
But those movies are falling off a little bit.
Still scary.
How many garlic narns?
Two.
Two.
Two cheesy garlic nans.
In the final movie, you can watch this one on Netflix, guys.
So watch you know how I'm the other two at the cinema.
When superstars Rumi, Mira and Zoe,
aren't selling out stadiums were topping the Billboard charts.
They are moonlighting as hunters to protect their fans from ever-present supernatural danger.
That's K-pop demon hunters.
Oh.
I watched it for the fifth time.
Really?
I have cheesy garden arts at a fine.
You guys are going to watch that movie.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
A question I find myself asking to a lot of my close personal friends who have, like you, you might relate to this.
Your friends move overseas.
I'm 30, I just turn 30.
I've got like three really good friends.
And I've put a lot of effort into them over the last decade.
They've all moved overseas.
So I am finding myself in a situation where I don't want to be the guy who just hangs out with my fiancé.
And I'm on a bit of a journey to make some more.
more friends. And part of that, as an adult, it's a little difficult. You join some social
sports, of course. You make friends at work. And this opportunity presented itself for me to join
the Work Social Club, which is a club that meet once every couple weeks, once a month, and
you do a social event together. So it's all great. I don't really socialize with people at work
outside of Harrison and Steph. This is a great way to meet new people. And normally, you know,
I would criticize a little bit joining the Social Club, but only because of past events, because
it costs. How much money does it cost to belong to the Social Club? I think they take about $4 a
something five dollars a week what is it so in the office four dollars a week so yeah
round it up your paycheck yeah yeah four bucks a week adds up adds up and so past things it's like
it's so weird that you guys are fixated on that part of it's because it's because of the maths of it all
so if i'm paying like say round it up five bucks a week don't round it up down it's where it is
five make it a five make it a five maybe ten bucks yeah we're ten bucks then one of the
events is like oh here's a power power rate and a pie
and I'm like, well, I don't need to be losing money every week
to buy a power in a pie and socialise about it, you know?
Like, I can do that.
That's where I...
But my thing is I can't do that.
I'll get a pie and a power rate on my own.
Exactly.
I'm paying for the friendship.
And the other issue that we've had with you at the social club, Sean,
is that you've made a friend Patty.
We all know you've made a friend Patty,
but you just keep going to them and just hang out with Patty.
Yeah, that was interesting.
You guys can just hang out outside of the social club.
For free.
For free, don't even if you pay for it.
Don't pay for it.
Don't pay for it.
pay anything.
That's a good point.
You're defeating the purpose
of the social club
because you're not very socialising
with them.
That's a good point
you bring up because I did meet Patty
early and then now he's
become my crutch at the social club.
I've been trying to distance myself
from Patty when we go to social club.
I hang out with him outside of it like you say
but you go to social club
obviously you're drawn to the person
you know and I'm like I've got to remind myself
no that's not the purpose.
It's a social club.
So actually at the latest social club
event I did make an effort
to go and sit with someone
completely new.
Yay, that is good.
That's what I've been trying to train you to do?
Very proud of you.
Thanks man.
So how was the conversation?
So there wasn't much conversation
because this latest social club was a movie.
See, they're just not nailing the Averex are they?
You're doing it to yourself at that point.
So you watched a movie, like in a cinema
or was it outdoors and some beanbags and food trucks and stuff?
Like, was it cool like that?
It was a cinema, but it was a nice cinema.
They hired a private cinema,
and they actually did do, like, food and drinks,
but I missed them because I was doing this radio show.
So I showed up just kind of in time.
for the movie and I
went in there and
hold the door
you are no
save a seat for you there Sean
Patty oh hey Patty
thanks mate
oh it's actually not
it's not true
and then you just like
don't talk to anybody
so what happens is I walked in
last minute
said hi hi how are you
oh this cinema
okay I'm running in
seat at the front
I didn't know the guys
who were next to me
there were some guys
good good good
little bit older than me
from working from upstairs
I'll sit next to these guys
hey boys you don't mind if I sit here
no no worries
I'm sure her
and then Patty comes
and pops himself on the other side of me.
That's okay.
And he goes, I saw you from the back, Sean.
I thought I'd come sit with you out.
Oh, that's awesome.
No, that's cool.
We love that.
So you go to one of the girls.
You go, hey, buddy, sorry, that's my best.
He'd mind if we could swap seats.
That'll be real cool, man.
So, social club.
Meeting new people, making your friendships, at a movie theater where you have to not talk.
How did that go for you?
Well, this didn't go.
I did talk a little bit during the movie,
and then I got, because I was trying to get to know the guy next to that.
Well, I found that out.
You don't talk during a movie.
I was so it's crazy.
social club.
That's the most unsocial place for a social club.
Yeah, I think that heavy emphasis was on the drinks and nibbles beforehand,
which once again, due to my commitment of this job, I did miss.
What are you guys going to do next?
I couldn't tell you.
I think we're all going to go read and silence at a library.
Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
And this is the part of the show where I pose a philosophical question to the team.
It's Would You Rather?
I found this one on Reddit today.
Would you rather, every time...
It's a little blue, I'll be honest.
A little blue?
Yeah, maybe not for the young ears.
Smurf?
Yeah, something like that.
Abadibaba da.
Would you rather every time...
I love that.
That is a throwback.
Every time you have, I'll say the big O.
Oh.
Okay, every time you have the big O.
Oh, Harrison's confused.
Hold on, I'll act it out.
Okay, ready?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's called...
the big O.
Yeah.
Like...
You know, the O stands for.
Like...
Yeah, no, but it's not just that bit.
It's the end of it.
The...
Oh, yeah.
Organics.
Yeah, that's it.
Sure.
Yeah. Yeah.
Um, organism.
Yeah, yes.
You know, actually, when I was in biology in year nine,
I got those two words mixed up.
Nerd.
It's embarrassing.
Both the opposite of a nerd.
I didn't know.
Yeah, you make some up.
Yeah, you're right, yeah, right.
So, okay, would you rather,
every time you have the big O,
the song All Star by Smashmouth Players?
Hey now.
Or, hear me out, every time the song all star by Smashmouth plays, you have the big O.
I watched a documentary once where a woman has involuntary big O's, like throughout her day.
And it would be so hard to live your life.
Like it was, like, poor lady, it was debilitating for it.
No, truly.
Can you imagine just having, like, you know, going out to the vending machine and having a big O?
I'd work from home.
I wouldn't get out, mate.
You would not be throwing on Shrek.
No.
Unless you were that way inclined.
You wouldn't be listening to other radio stations say that play that kind of music.
I reckon for me, definitely, if I hear the song, I let out the Big O.
No.
I'm going to avoid the song at all cost and not telling anyone that's a thing.
Oh, yeah, hold on.
Imagine every time you big O, that song plays.
Oh, you go mental.
No secrecy.
You know it's coming.
It would like get in your head.
But it's different with boys and girls, right?
because there'd be like a little mess
to clean up as well
I just feel like
I could walk around life
whenever I hear it and I'll be like
fun and then there's nothing like more to it
Right
Whereas you guys there's a bit of a mess
To clean up
That's what I'm saying
So it's good to clear up to what song are you saying
No I'm just like
It might be more difficult
Yeah that's what I'm saying
As if like if someone did find out your big secret
And when you and like played
All Star by SmashBack
Maybe your best friend was like
Oh, I'm going to mess with Harrison, and then, like, would always play it for you,
and then you constantly have to change your pants.
Oh, yeah, or if you're sharing a flat, and then from your Ruby just hear all-star play.
Yeah.
Oh, why don't why Harrison's up?
Yeah.
That's it.
You wouldn't, yeah.
Right, anyway.
Yeah.
Something to think about.
Yeah.
Um, yeah.
When you said this was going to be blue, I thought you meant it was going to be sad as well.
Oh, no.
This excites me.
Okay.
No, that's what I meant.
Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
And that concludes the Sean Stephen Harrison podcast, the Air Jarvos as we are for short.
But don't worry.
Here's a little bit extra.
Hello.
Oh my gosh, I'm just watching a video about a dog who drowned but then got brought back to life by the pool cleaner.
Fantastic stuff.
God, I love Instagram.
Oh, it's called Good News underscore movement.
Do you guys follow that?
No.
I haven't, but I've always been curious about how you would perform CPR on a dog because you can't get a seal with its mouth?
Or do you have to put your...
This guy didn't even do the mouth bit.
He just went do, dov, dof, do.
Because if it was a small enough dog, here's what I'd do.
I'd take the kind of mouth of the dog, the long way,
and I'd put it all in my mouth, like you're eating a hot dog.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's how I'd do it, if I was going to resist.
It's a great Instagram follow, by the way.
Now, look, it was a life-changing weekend for a lot of us.
Harrison, you got tattooed permanently forever.
Beautiful Tamoko, which we covered in the podcast.
A beautiful moment with your dad.
Sean
You made a bit of money
You went around Auckland
CBD doing some fun stuff
Yes
I saw I was shooting a bit of content over the weekend
Yeah which we'll come out later
Now as you guys are
You know
You know just doing all kinds of
You know big life stuff
Yeah
A huge moment happened in my life
That I didn't cover today on the radio show
Mainly just because I probably would
Honestly cry if I talked about this
It's something that I've wanted to do for so long
You know I like setting goals
and dreams and things, it's like, oh, just aim high,
even if that sounds ridiculous.
Like, just go for it.
Yeah.
Shoot for the moon, you land in the stars, so to speak.
Nice.
Now, for the longest time,
I have wanted.
To be on the traders.
No.
God, I want to.
Let's project things that's wanted, though.
Taskmaster.
No, no, no.
It's nothing to do with career stuff.
I know.
I know.
To be...
Still seems sour about that.
To be shredded.
A bit of a health thing.
No, nothing to do.
to do that.
You're locking in.
I am locked in, but no.
What house could they possibly be?
To hook up with Orlando Bloom?
For the longest time ever.
They say drink big.
I have wanted to mount my television to the wall.
Mount it?
Mount it.
Right.
So it's when fancy people at their fancy houses have the TV on the wall.
You do go into someone's house with their TV on the wall and you go, you are better than me.
Yeah.
It's like so adult, right?
It's very adult.
It means you're not.
moving out for a while. Yeah. And without any wires hanging down, don't want a wire hanging down,
I want it in the wall, all hidden no wires. Oh, I noticed that on your Instagram story.
Thank you so much. But I didn't know whether it was ever not mount-mailed. Did you think it was
AI potentially? No, no. I did look at that photo in that living room and go, that's actually
a very beautiful setup. Oh, thank you so much. Like the speakers and the cabinet? I was like, wow.
The speakers aren't staying because the speakers are in the airs right. Is that why you posted the photo
of you watching the rugby? Was it because the new TV and the new couch? I was thinking this looks
A lot nicer than last time I went to your house.
It looks amazing.
I feel like so flash.
We had a friend come over on the weekend.
He's a builder electrician and it was just like the greatest thing ever.
And I've wanted it for so long.
And guys, I feel professional.
I'm wearing a blazer today and my TV's mounted.
I mean, who am I?
That's crazy.
It's incredible stuff.
You didn't say to me that we were leaning on a friend to do it for you.
Did you pay the friend?
Yeah, absolutely.
I love my TV mounted.
Trust me.
Yeah.
You'll get there one day.
Yeah, I need a house one day that our own.
Yeah, no, just mount it.
I wouldn't mount it on a house that you're renting
I'm like, yeah, my guy to come over.
No, I don't think I can.
We've got a mount a TV at our place, but that was because
we're renting as well, an apartment and our
landlords when we moved in. They're like, we've got a
mounted TV. We can take that off for you if you want, or we can just leave the
TV up there. We're just looking to store it somewhere anyway.
So we're like, yes, we'll take your TV and leave it mounted on our wall.
Yeah. That's so amazing.
So we're like, oh yeah, we'll just leave it up there and then
we put our TV in storage and we'll just get it back
and we can move out. Oh my God.
There's nothing like it.
So yeah, that was a big moment for me
If you want to send any supportive emails
Steph at theedge.com.com.
If you want to see any photos
just DME, I'm happy to give you a tour.
So you've also knocked back a creamy milk chocolate bar there.
Pardon?
You've knocked back a creamy milk chocolate bar?
Pardon?
You want us to hold your accountable.
You're locking in and stuff
and I've just noticed it's your first witty
because you've had in a while that I've seen.
Now you might be listening to this and go
that's pretty rude for Harrison to call her out
but what you don't experience off here
is that every time Steph eats a chocolate
She wants us to call it.
No, hold on.
She's asked us.
She's just, why didn't you stop me?
You know, I'm in cloud nine.
And you've just dragged me right back down onto your cloud.
Well, I bet you're in cloud nine because you just had a lovely block of chocolate.
Back to Cloud 8.
The endorphins running through me.
Actually, more like Cloud 10.
Oh, wow.
Down, okay, yeah.
Yeah, no.
Wouldn't Cloud 8 be below, cloud 9?
Yeah, but the chocolates made it go higher.
Oh, nice.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a good thing.
Just like my weight.
Which would bring you back down to Cloud 8.
Oh.
So yeah, I have polished off a creamy milk chocolate.
Well, now I feel like a piece of shit.
Cheers, sorry?
No, no, no, no.
I deserve this one.
It's a Monday.
It's been a big day.
Been a big weekend.
Yeah.
Whole TV.
So anyway, that's a whole break about that.
Love that.
Anyone got any other riveting conversations?
I don't know what we'll top there.
Yeah.
Great.
Fair question.
Hey, some texts that we didn't get to on today's show.
We did talk about bird of the year on today's podcast,
and someone texts it in something very interesting.
There's a burdle.
You know like Werdle?
You know, like Werdle?
Yeah, yeah.
Which, funnily enough, I actually did Wirtle during the show today.
Did you?
We should play Burtle on here.
You should absolutely do.
That sounds fun.
I've got one more thing.
I live in an apartment and usually you can't hear the neighbours.
It's pretty soundproof.
But the other day I heard my neighbour having sex for the first time you were.
Which is like, they must have been going so loud for us to hear it.
Whoa.
It was fucking loud.
Like I could hear quietly that they were being very loud.
And I was like, oh my God, this is awful.
Whoa.
Never been able to hear my name for sex.
Do you share a, like a bedroom wall with them?
No
It was on the other side of my apartment
That shares their wall
And I could hear it
It was like on a Saturday night
And they were like yelling
Wow
Do you reckon it was the normal couple there
Or maybe one of the couple was out of town
And then that's why they were like getting jiggie
With it like different than normal
I think a lot of people come and go
And I think that one next was a B&B
So I think people
I think someone was B&B for the weekend
And just
Their like mentality was
I don't know these neighbours
I don't care
Well no good on
No
No
Look on them.
Yeah, good on them.
No.
Get a girl.
You go get a girl.
No.
Boy, or whoever you were.
Yeah, I don't know what genders are in there, but they were loud.
They were loving it.
Yeah.
McDonald's wrote a song about that.
About sex.
Yeah.
Okay, well, that's on.
I love it.
Yeah, yeah, got that.
Okay, cool.
