Oh, that is awful. What a big show we've got. We've got the boss joining us right now. Hey, mate. What a surprise. Hey, mate. Hello. We've brought you in here to make a decision at the start of the show.

All right, Steph, solo for you. Sevene. Eight. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold up. So Steph's insistent on doing the show today and Harrison and I can't put up with this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's better.

We've been thinking, Steph, I don't think you should be doing the show today. Whereas I think it's going to warm up. And I think I could bring a bit of sex appeal today with this bit of a grumble we've got going on, you know? It is sexy, isn't it? Yeah, a little bit. It's too sexy. That's what I'm afraid of. It's too sexy.

The boys think I sound too sick. But I think, you know, let's jazz up the show. For me, it's also more of the... Lots of those. Coffee. Is it coffee? Gagling. There's no coffee.

Glowing nose. So, what do you want to do? Well, I want to throw it in the hands of the boss. Yeah. He thinks. So we can either do the show without, Steph. We're going to plan B. We can do it with Steve today, but it's going to be on your word.

You're going to make the decision up for us right now. I feel fine. It's just a matter of if you want this. Should we try easy money? Yeah. You listen to us play Easy Money and then you come make a call. Yeah, okay. That's a good idea.

All right. Let's do that. Is Jeff going to read the questions? Oh, yeah. Oh, so they won't even be out of here. So no one's going to win. No one's going to win. Guys.

Bravo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The Edge. Easy Money. We'll give you a letter between E and Z. You have 30 seconds. 10 questions answer each one with a word of that letter and win a thousand dollars. Woo.

Now, this is a little. A little bit of a test for us. Yeah, because Steph, it doesn't really have much of a voice today. Speak for yourself. Oh. You should expect for yourself. It's actually improving, I think. It sounds better.

I'm going to give you more for you. Don't you think? Texting 3, 3, 4.3. What are you thinking on Steph's voice? Yeah. If it's going to be annoying, I'll go home. But I reckon it's all right. Okay.

So I think it's right. Oh, God. Sound like me with my balls dropped. Yeah. You sound like half of the Simpsons' characters. All of them are the same. The Krusty Burger. Yeah, Selma and...

Saddy. Like Selma and Paddy. And the Krusty Burger Kid mashed into one. Yeah. Anyone got a siggy. Awesome. How long's the show? Four hours.

Guys, okay, I'll go home. But let's just play with Lee, okay? From Pike here. Hi, Lee. Hi. Hi. Lee, what letter would you like? What letter?

Oh, I would like if. Yes, well, you got I, okay? Okay, so... Okay, I've got I. If you can't understand Steph, that's I. Aye. Eye for ice cream. Yeah.

Yeah, Incubis. Yeah. Incubis. And for the five-letter words you said the B word, we wouldn't have counted that, so you probably would have got five. Like what, really? For the five-letter word you said the B word?

I think she said itch. I thought she said, itch. No, I said itch. But I understand it. I said, excuse me? Itch, that's a good answer for that question, actually. Would you have accepted Italy for a city? Was that one of the questions?

A city? Yeah. You know what it doesn't imagine, does it? You had a great hand here, Liz. appreciate it. You would have? I don't travel much. Hold on everybody.

Hold on, sorry. Sit tightly. Harrison? Yeah. What's Italy? A city. A city in what country? Italy.

Yeah, there we go. See we made the connection there. Okay. Well, thank you for playing Lee. We appreciate your mates. Okay. Oh, thank you for the opportunity. Oh, thanks, Lee.

I think you make the call. Does Steph call it a day? Does Steph hang around and husk her way through the next three and a half and a half hours. I think it's totally up to Steph if she wants to go home, let her go home. Otherwise, let her stay.

Oh, lovely. Lovely. Lee, lovely. I think everyone's just too scared to be like, you, Steph, piss off. I'll go home, I'll go home. Go rest your voice, Steph. Have a lovely weekend, everybody.

Oh, you've got to stick around. You've got to listen to the next bit from the office. Oh, listen from my car. Yeah, this is... Bye. This is the thing I told you about, Steph, that Harrison Pocket. dialed me today.

Oh, I wanted to hear this. Yeah, he pocket dialed me and I instantly he was like, I realized it was a pocket dial and he started saying some kind of wild things, so I started recording it. Oh, I want to hear it. I'm so nervous because I don't remember this happening. Alley at all. I do not know I pocket dial jude. You've got the call on.

You know what happened. Because you said to me today, you're like, sorry I pocket dowel Julia. I don't know when or what I said. Your Arvose, hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The edge. Steph's just left us. She's actually left this day, guys. You will be missed Steph, but her voice was, it was a bit croaky to that.

It was a bit of a hard listen to the old voice. And we saw her today and she goes, I can't talk, but I'll still be here at work. I was like, well, we do a radio show, Steve. It's the job. It's the only thing is talking. It's all you need to do in this job. You know, hats off to Steph team player.

She loves, she wants to be here for us. Yeah, I did got to the point where I was just, it was too annoying here. It was like, We'll turn into a drinking game. We said, I saw Sean off here. I was like, mate, let's drink every time. And she goes, I'm pretty steamed.

And I said Harrison's going to have to go home soon. Yes. In about 10 minutes' time, it will just be me. I know. So we had to do something. So, yeah, we had to make a call. So theft's gone. But that's all right.

And it's a shame because I actually had to talk to her about this incident that happened today. I received a call from you, Harrison. Now, I don't, you're not much of a caller. You voice memos message on a cage. I've never received a call from you. unless it's quite important. No, I totally cool. So when you called me, I kind of stopped what I was doing,

and I was like, oh, Harrison must be in strife. You know, he's called me, obviously. Poor guy's probably broken down, like flat tire or something, needs his big manly mate to come and help him change the tire or something. Yeah, right. I've answered the phone, going, Harrison, what's going on, mate? No, you're right? And some of the stuff I heard, I was like, oh, he's in trouble.

What's going on? Harrison, are you there? And then I realized at this point, you were pocket dialing me because some of the stuff I heard. So what I did was I switched my phone over and started recording it. Okay. I've recorded the audio of it and I thought I'll play it back to you just to wonder what was going on here. Really?

I'm quite no what was happening. Oh, Sean, I'm really nervous. Hmm. Because I remember, I know the moment that it happened because I literally heard, Hello! Hello? I looked over, it was like, oh crap. No, you hung up. You didn't talk to me.

You just went out. No, I was, I never called you. I was like, oh, crap. Oh, she hung up on me. Yeah, yeah. Okay, well, here's the moment. You okay, you're okay for me to play it? Do you remember what was happening at the time?

Maybe. Just play it just in case. Yeah, because I can't quite a piece together what was happening either. So this is what I recorded on my phone today. That's a big one. P-U, Sarah, babe. Come have a geez at this. Yikes, it's like King Kong's finger. It's like one of those chocolate log cakes.

Oh, damn. Why am I calling someone? So I was left confused. I was like, what's going on here? Why is Sarah? That's your girlfriend's name. Why are you getting here to come and look at it? whatever you were doing. I couldn't quite hear. Obviously a lot of echoes.

I thought maybe you were in a train station or something. I couldn't quite. Yeah, the thing that's hit me so hard is that it's exactly what I thought you'd. I'd like, looking back, I'm like, yep, that was the moment. But I thought you may have heard something else, but you've heard pretty, pretty clearly what has happened. I don't know, being serious, pretty deep in this relationship now, four and a half years, and I think you get to a point where you are open with each other.

So we open the door. We crap opening the door. That's what we do. but we'll take it even further where we like to do a bit of show and tell. So if it's an absolute record breaker, we get each other to come and have a look. Okay, well, I mean, at least you're being honest about it and I didn't catch anything quite bad.

I mean, it was bad. It was pretty bad. I didn't really appreciate you playing that on radio. I didn't know that was, I didn't know that's exactly what the conversation was going to be. Yeah. And honestly, I am sorry. I'm sorry.

No, it's okay. No worries, but I think it's probably not the worst thing anyone's ever caught over pocket dial. Yeah. Like what else has happened out there? I reckon we open this up. I'll 800 the edge. What have you heard over a pocket dial?

Yeah, was it like, was it like, if you caught someone out? Was it your ex talking to their friend going, oh, yeah, I think I want to break up with him. Like, I think it's just, it's just not going to work out. Or something like that? Like, imagine that. Or yeah, I think we should. Do you your boss? I'm like, yeah, I think we need to fire them.

A boss pocket dial. A partner pocket dial. Yeah, what is it? I know it's a tough thing to admit. I know we can keep you anonymous if you want to call throat. We've got a prize up for grabs for the best story as well, but I'm 800 The Edge. Give us a call. What have you heard in a pocket dial?

Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. But right now we're talking, when have you got pocket dialed and heard something that you weren't meant to hear? Now, this comes off the back of Harrison pocket dialing me today. I didn't realize you'd called me and I was like, oh, Harrison must be in trouble, you know, he needs my help. And then I heard just some crazy things down the other end of that line. Yeah, I was laying cables. I won't play it again.

Please don't. I won't play it again. If you want to hear it, I guess you listen to tonight's podcast, you can. Yeah, it's gruesome. But, 0-800-the-edge, when have you caught something you shouldn't have on a pocket-dial, Rachel from Christch? How are you? I'm good, thank you. How are you?

I was so good, thank you. Who's your pocket-dial, Rach? Mine was my boss, so I was doing a delivery, so I was a delivery driver. And I was with my co-worker, and we delivered. the wrong order to a different shop. So it goes in the wrong order. And then we're talking about it and she's like, no, that's not cool.

And she said, I think she said something and Surrey picked up and like heard it and obviously called him because she heard his name because she said not cool and then I said his name. And yeah, he found out through, yeah, my butt dial that I delivered the wrong meat and he was not happy at all. So say your boss's name's Matt,

you said not cool Matt. And then it's Syri's pick. up call Matt. No. And then you've called him. So there's a Siri. Surrey's stretching people up, man. Siri's a little snake, man.

Oh, yeah. I don't like Surrey. But honestly, you have to be very careful. Yeah, you do. You do. Great feedback. Thank you for your call. Rachel, I'm at 100 the Edge.

When did a pocket dial go badly? Tom, also in Christchurch. Kiora Tom. Yo, good-day. It's kind of along the same lines as, like, listening and when they're talking. But my dad tends to, like, not hang up the phone when you,

when you say goodbye. So I like to listen in. No, you hang up. It's such a dance thing. I just be like, I'm not hanging up. I just put my phone back. Yeah, he does there all the time. But the same as my granddad.

So basically one time my dad and my granddad were having a conversation. My dad was on his way to Queenstown. And they just had a basic conversation. And they both said goodbye. And neither of them hung up. And it wasn't until my dad got to Queenstown from Christ. they realized they were still on the call. So it was about a...

How long is that? So they were just... It was like three, three, four hours. What a waste of minutes! That is such a waste! It's incredible, because no one under the age of 60s doing that, everyone's checking their phone so consistently. So to have two people pull that off, Tom, what are the chances?

Great, cool. Joseph in Rotter Vegas, welcome to the show, bro. Yeah, how's it going? Oh, fantastic. Who did you our pocket dial, brother? Oh, yeah, from an ex-girlfriend, yeah. So, yeah, I was just hanging out one day, having a cup of tea. And I see my mate Nigel walking past all this dog,

and I said, oh, hey, Nigel, come on for a cup of tea. And then Nigel comes in for a cup of tea. So we're just sitting there having a chat. And Nigel's a good lad. He worked back in the mines, back in the 70s. and yeah, so I was just hanging out and having a cup of tea with Nigel and then, yeah, I'll get a phone call

go to check my phone, who's giving me a call? Oh, it's me other mate. Frederick, mate. Oh, Frederick, how's it going? I'm just sitting here having a cup of tea with Nigel. Joseph, I've got to ask you to speed it up just a little bit, mate, if we get to the call there.

I love loving the characters, but a lot of set up. Yeah, mate. And then, oh, well, Frederick, Frederick. You know, he didn't actually mean to call me. But then I managed to get his attention. And I said, oh, mate, I'm just having a cup of tea with 90. You know, I'm going to bring down Joseph there. Put up, bra, bra.

We'll just let him keep going. He can go on the back on. Put it up. You know, having a good time. And then, oh, it's my mate. Lindsay, Lindsay comes down the road. Oh, come for a couple of tea, mate. Cheers, Joseph.

How many people are Joseph? Gulling Joseph. Rachel, he's still there. Good old time, sir. Oh, you're a legend. I think Joseph might have pocketed out. Harris Harrison, if I'm honest. Rachel, you're getting the past to our busty movie. It's bad guys versus bad girls. Rachel, congratulations, mate.

Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. No, Steph's gone home because she sounded like this. She sounded like she'd been smoking sickies and was about to hit puberty. Yeah, it was an e-a-sore, you could almost say, eh? It was tough and I felt bad for her. She was struggling, so she's gone home. She is listening at home, though, so we've got to be on our best behaviour. Yeah. But an intern, Little Lil,

join us? Oh, it's been a while. It has been. It's been a while. Thanks for jumping in. As a guest judge in... The Edge 5-star fact. Now, as well as Little Lil and Harrison,

we do need you to be a judge. So 0-800 The Edge. First one to call through can judge today's 5-star fact alongside Lily and Harrison. We need three judges. You will rate my fact out of 5 stars based on the criteria of...

originality shareability performance what about the no war chat and stuff or is that that's been gone we can't get that we ended up having like 30

subcategories little so we had to cut them all out because it's getting too much okay this is going to make it easier then so I'm at 100 the edge we need a guest judge here let's go to the phones who do I have here Joe

Joe welcome Joe you are our third judge what kind of fact do you after today Joe you're into animals, you're into food? Food? She wants a food fact, Sean. You get a food fact for Joe? Damn, I gave her two options there and the animals one was the one I'd prepped.

50-50. Would you settle for an animal fact, Joe? Okay, then. It's okay. Sorry to hold you. Let's get on the fact, Sean. Sorry, Joe, you seem busy. Today's fact is about sea lions.

Sea lions are the only animals who can keep a beat. Now, in order for this fact to actually make sense, I do need to show a video to the team. Joe, you won't be able to see this, but you've got to maybe picture this. It's a video of a sea lion. Dancing? Okay.

Yeah, Joe, he's dancing right on beat. Wow, bobbing his head. Bombing his head on the beat. But he's on an angle. Now, Harrison, you're a dancer by trade. Yeah. How would you rate that sea lion's ability to stay in time.

Honestly, not everyone has rhythm, especially humans, but see, like, yeah, that's rhythm. That is beat. That is definitely dancing in time. So that is, it's a sea lion in Santa Cruz Zoo by the name of Ronan. And they found out he liked to dance the rhythm of ring. No, no one, Ronan. No, go on.

Is he a bloody seal, Joe? All right, Joe, you legend tied him with you. But they only discovered this in the last decade. They didn't know that any animals could keep a beat. and then they found this sea lion Ronan and turns out sea lions the only mammals that can actually hold a beat. That's quite cool.

The only mammal, that's what's cool about it. Do you remember what a mammal was? Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, see, Ed Jarvo's Instagram. I can't exactly say, but I know that seals are one. All right, let's start with Jo. Joe, you can rate that star out of that fact, sorry, out of five stars.

What are you going to give it? I think I'll give it a five. Yes. Let's go. Yes. He's a man, Ronan's also a five. Amazing. I think I'm going to give it like a 4.5.

I would get Ronan on the D4 with me for a boogie. Yeah, love that. Great, it seems like a great hang. Sean, I'm also giving you a 4.5, man. That's a fun fact. All right, cheers Joe. Have a great weekend, my friend. Okay, thank you.

Thank you. Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean, Steph, And Harrison. The Edge. You would know if you're listening that Harrison and I close personal friends with former Prime Minister

Jacinda Adirn. Yeah. Yeah, we've gone way back. We're in a group chat together. We are in a group chat called the Eiffel Tower. We all met in Paris. It's unrelated. That's where it's from.

Nothing else. So she's... So she's released a children's book. What's it called, Sean? Mum's busy work. Yeah. It's all written from her daughter, Neve.

She's seven years old. written from her perspective. So she's like the narrator of the book, I guess you could say. And an interesting take on it, quite modern, I guess, showing, you know, it's from, you know, her being too quite busy and her child trying to understand that. Yeah, busy as. So she sent us, I reached out, we say, Cindy, what's up, long time? Maybe you could send us some clips of this book so we could read it out on our show in New Zealand.

And she said, yeah, of course. Yeah, a couple of throw up a shaka. A couple of pre-released copies, which is very, very excited. Yeah, we've got very different looking books, though, so it's interesting to see how different they're going to be. Different covers. Yeah, completely different covers. So this is an excerpt that I've got from my book. This is Jacinda Adirne's new children's book.

It's called Mum's Busy Work. Okay. Mummy, Mommy, Mommy, do you want to go out and play? I'd love to, Little Bean, but I've got to work today. Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, would you mind if we walked up the hill? Sorry not today, little, Neve. I'm looking after the team of Five Mill. Mummy, can we go to the movies and watch the Max screen?

Not now, said Mummy, I'm firing people for not getting the vaccine. That doesn't... Mommy, let's hang out and eat ice cream by the liters. But Mummy was too steamed from having lunch with Winnie Peters. Actually, as I read ahead here, it gets worse and worse than this. No, worse than that? Yeah, I might say, yeah. That doesn't feel right.

What's your version that you got sent? Jesus. It's completely different to my version. Oh, they're different in time. Okay, I'll just say, yeah. This is the one I heard. This is from Jacinda Arden's new book, from the point of view of her daughter, Neve, seven years old.

Okay. My mummy is always away, working in the beehive most days. She used to have fun. She used to have an important, sorry, she used to have an important title and missed all of my dance recitals. Yeah, that's horrible. You got angry when I'd build, fun thoughts and always missed my winter sports.

It's hard never having you there. And I know, in my heart, that you don't care. And that's the end of the book. That's the last page of the book I read. That's just from the child's, that's awful. That can't be it. Seven years old. In hindsight, I'm not sure it is just into that we're in a group chat with.

I don't know who sent this to us. I feel sorry for her daughter, man. I thought I grew a kid's book I'll be a lot It's pretty heavy actually Absolutely is Your Avos Hit Harder with Sean

Steph and Harrison The Edge This is a part of the show I wanted to tell quite a serious story and get some I couldn't get a little vulnerable and honest and ask for your feedback

but then you also had this idea of the last few days we've given you some buttons you like to you quite like to play with things so yeah yeah so I've got you're giving this kind of

this button pad where I get to kind of just press buttons whenever I want just because you you guys can't see in the studio but Sean gets a plethora of buttons around him. Yeah, I never get to, because I walk over and goes ah! Back, get back, get back, get back! So I'm never allowed to cross to that part of the rim, press the buttons

is really sad. I don't like you touching my things. Yeah, I know. But I know you are, you're a bit handsy with it, so you love a button to touch. Yeah. So yeah, we've crossed it up. I don't know if this is the right time for it though. The story's quite serious. I didn't think it was going to be serious stories, so that's probably, it's my bad for not organizing that earlier. It's my bad for not explaining what the story was.

Usually I'll do a silly story, but this is quite a choice. Yeah, tell each other at Catamore. I appreciate that. Yeah, for sure. Okay, so you just feel free to fire off any buttons. You do your thing, I do my thing. Easy. Okay, so truthfully, I'm just going to take my hat off.

Do you notice anything now that I lift my hair up? My hair lines, not what it used to be. It's back a little bit. I've got the McDonald's M. Well, hold up. Because first you said you didn't know what this bit was going to be, and you were going to appear things, and you thought it was a comedy bit,

but you're pre-prepared a razor, which makes me feel like... No. You know you're making fun out of me. Why, I didn't know as well as you're here, though. That's how to be... I thought that sounded cool. It was nothing to do with your hair line.

I think definitely don't shave that off. Holy hair, it's all you got. Okay, I'll take your word for it. Maybe you're some... Whoa. See, that again, that feels like another pre-prepared thing. But it's not, though. Like, I'll move past.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But I've been thinking about it. You know, my hair line's been going backwards. My dad lost all is here. My granddad lost all is here. And I've always been like, you know what? That's part of life. Yeah.

And I'm okay with it. I'm okay with going bored. I truthfully am. And then recently I've seen Harry Stiles, you know, he's done his hair transplant. And I've seen other people do a hair transplant. And it made it look quite good. And this technology gets better. It gets cheaper.

You can go to them in Turkey. And you know, it's quite expensive to get over there. But if I do manage to make it to Europe at some point, which I'd like to do, and I'm not saying I'm going to do it now, but maybe it's something I say for in the future. Oh my God, who the hell cares? So if you just tuned in, sorry, Harrison's got some buttons now, and he didn't know the story that I was going to tell me. I didn't know you can tell this, man.

Sorry, it's awkward. No, it's all right. So I guess I wanted to just maybe ask you as a friend, do you think it's worth me looking into doing a hair transplant? Or is it? Yeah, for sure, man. Go for it, I reckon. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. It might be good for my confidence and stuff, and I wear hats a lot recently. Yeah. So what does that mean? You're going to shave off all your head. You're going to have the old slippery dome.

I don't think they shave it all off. I think they just take some from the back and put her on the front. Oh, really? It looks quite sore. I mean, honestly, from my heart, I'm all for a hair transplant. Yeah.

Okay, I'm going to write this up. And I think you look really cool with it. Yeah, thanks, man. Up next on the edge avos. We'll agree that was a miscommunication. Can I just say? Yeah. Buttons aside,

thank you for coming out and saying that, man. You're welcome. Okay. All right. You've lost it. You've lost your button. Probably does. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. Now, we started today with that whole team, Sean, Steph and Harrison. Since then, it's just down to two of us. Steph had to go home. Yeah, she lost her voice, which was difficult. Because we went in for a pre-we have a pre-show meeting every day before we do the show, just discuss ideas. And Steph was trying to talk.

You can't talk. Let's still a little reenactment of what that meeting was like. All right. So we walk in the door. Hey Harrison, how are you? Well, you talk. Good, thank you, Sean. How are you?

Oh, good, man. Hey, Steph, how are you? Yeah, I'm good, guys. Really excited for the show today. Okay, now redo it. And I'll play, Steph. Okay, hey, Steph, how are you? Yeah, she sounded like you were letting you're out of a balloon.

Yeah, she sounded horrific. So we're like, this isn't good. So she's gone, she's popped off. Yeah, which is okay. The right move. Um, an excuse that probably doesn't work in many other jobs. No, especially not Because she was like, I can be here, I just can't talk

We're like, yeah, that's an issue That's the job It's a talking, it's a talking medium, the old radio there's deaf One thing we've got in common with call centres Yeah Intercom workers at Maca's drive-thrus You've got to be able to use your Larix Yeah, but she came in and proved to us

That, you know, she couldn't be here But we want you to tell us O-800 the Edge What is the stupidest excuse You've given to your boss or your work to not come in that day. The amount of times about old jobs, I'm so sorry, my car's broken down,

and I'm on the other side of town, I can't make it in today. Or I'm vomiting everywhere, seriously. I must have had some bad food poisoning last night. The vomiting one's good, because no one can challenge that. The car one, it's like, okay, I'll see you in an hour, I get the bus. Yeah, and it's like, oh, no, I haven't got enough money for the bus.

Like, he just kept going and going and going. I was notorious for excuses back in the day. It's an Alice in the Wonderland rabbit hole, though, if you keep going on. I can have time for the bar, and then you're at lunch the next day you're buying sushi. I don't want to be, yeah, and I don't want to be too dark,

but be honest, have you ever, and I have, said that a family member's sick. Oh, yeah. I haven't done it, but I've heard. I know the guy at work who's like, man, do you have nine grandmas?

What's going on? Yeah, I know. My nan is still thriving, but man, have I slanded her name with her sickness? I know it's really, really bad. But I've had to him, like, oh, Nan's sick again. Oh, yeah, I heard last time it was really bad.

You can go, you don't have to come out. I know. Oh, 800 The Edge. Or text to 33443. Excuses that you've used to get off work or that you've heard a co-worker use. Or maybe you are a boss. Yeah. And you've heard someone throw an excuse and you're like, mate.

Come on. There's no way. Nah. Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. No, Steph today. she has gone home because she sounded like this. I love you guys.

Yeah, her voice kind of sounded like you are slowly letting air out of a balloon. Yeah, it wasn't good. So she's taking the time off. And we've been talking about that. Oh, funny, like you couldn't use that excuse in most jobs. Hmm. You're a builder. So what, mate?

Yeah, don't need to talk, ma'am. Do your arms work? Get out there. Just hammer it away. Slap on the bike. Oh, you're in there. Exactly. So we opened up to the listeners.

What is the stupidest excuse you've given to have the doubt? day off work. A lot of crazy ones. Harrison's gone through multiple grandparents. Honestly, it's so bad and I regret it. It's so, oh, that's some good days off. But it was me always said, oh, my nana's sick again. She's still alive, so.

Look, I know you've got a big family tree, but everyone only has at least how many nannas? Yeah, a couple of them have passed, so, you know, yeah. You know, once my boss, this is a true story. I took bereavement leave because my grandma died. And while I was off on those three days of bereavement leave at her funeral, my nana died. Truly? True story.

Okay. True story. Sure. Both in Tauranga and I stayed around for the second funeral. And my boss at the time, obviously, he told me, believe me. When I got back, I looked at my pay and he'd taken holiday leave off because he didn't believe that it was two funerals. He was like, I should have got more?

I was like, nah, dude, they both died. That's like in the multicultural, a tangy that can go on for weeks. Mm. So sometimes it'll wrap up after a week, usually. Well, people just keep dying. I still at the tangy. Or it's just one that goes for ages. One that goes for ages.

And you're like, yeah, it's two-week tongue in this one. Oh, really? Just stay off work for like two weeks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And if the boss is like... You can't even like... Oh, the boss is like a straight white guy.

He's not going to tell you can't do that. It's appropriate, man, you know? That's great. All right, what are the text we got coming through? I've got a few texts on 3343. A work mate used. My window broke in the storm and my teenagers were at home so I can't come in today. I thought the teenagers thing that's going to happen either way.

Yep. I took the... Sarah texting. I took the day off work to sort out my washing machine, domestic leave. It's not a thing. Yeah. It should be. If you could have a day off a month to just do your laundry and everything, I'll be into that.

Yeah, sorry, I've got anonymous text here. I called into work saying I was in a car accident, and another time was I actually got hit by a car. Oh, God. Okay, I feel like she's lied about being in the car accident, and then she got hit by a car. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm going to say with Ella as well, because Ella had quite a serious one. Ella, you lied on behalf of your cousin. What happened?

So she called it and said that her house was flooded, but she actually lived up on a hill and we actually worked together at the time, and they were like questioning me about it. And I kind of just ran with it. Wow. Was it like, was it during one of the big floods, like here in Auckland or something? No, it had just been like crazy rain that weekend. And then she was like, oh, I can't get into work. Our house is flooded.

But we live on the same street. And then they were like, oh, how did you get to work? And I was like, oh, my house was fine. No. Did you commit to the bit though, Ella? Did you back her up or did you? Yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't not.

I had to back her up. Yeah, you're a good friend, mate. You're a good friend. I love that. Great form. See, I can never tell a lie that big. I feel like it's going to come back to you with karma. I think it's hard.

It's hard when you tell a lie due to natural disaster. That's a hard blood. Yeah. But I appreciate it. Did it work out for you, Ella? It did. I think they're not that silly, though. but they didn't question me further,

so I kind of just took the win, and she had her day off, so. Take the win. Well done. Your Avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Now, every day on the show, we do a social media poll as well. You can go and vote on Edge Arvos on Instagram.

It's called Arvo, Polo. Challenge, Challenge, Challenge, Challenge. So we do that poll every single down at Air Jarvis' Instagram. And then on Friday, we look back at all the polls that we've done over the week. And producing Nurse Sam reads them out to us. And then one of us, Sean Stever Harrison, who weren't happy with the result that we'd lost to,

gets to challenge one of those polls. Yeah, so today's one's up there if you want to go have a look. Who understands daylight savings the most? So that's just up there at the moment if you want to vote. But quick recap, producer Nurse Sam, if you don't mind. What were the polls we've had this week and who won them? All right. On Monday, we had Who Floats the longest?

Steph won that and you guys came tie. Damn it. At least we lost together, man. Yeah, who floats the longest. Okay, I'm okay to lose that. I'm okay to lose that. All right, next up we had, who has the most dandruff,

and Harrison won that. I won that? Yep, Sean and Steph, they came tie. Okay. It's interesting when two of the people tie because it really feels like a this-vers-them, which the pole is not meant to do. Yeah.

Okay, two ties this week. And then we had, who'd make the best flagpole? Nice. Sean won that, and Steph lost. Nah, Sean does. give flagpole energy, so that's okay for me. Well, I'm taller, and Steph's got a bad shoulder. And you got a good grip on you, so you can really hold a flag in place.

Yeah, I do. Yeah. All righty and yesterday we had, who's the best sign flipper? Harrison won that and Steph lost. I think you take one look at Harrison's come vibe with me and you go put a domino sign in this guy's hand. Boy, can he flip a sign? Business is coming in the door. Okay.

How do you feel about the results, Sean? I'm actually quite okay with them. I feel like I've meddled this week. I won the flagpole thing. Couldn't care less about that one, truthfully. I'm okay. I'm not offended. At least I didn't lose the dandruff one, I think, is what I'm thinking.

Yeah, and that's what sprigs are feeling in me. I'm not happy because I've been voted by the people of the show that I have the most dandruff. And I'm offended and it's disgusting and I don't want to lose that pulse. So I'm challenging that today. Okay. Is that okay? Yeah, absolutely. I'm challenging that.

Okay. So how do we figure out, how do we figure out who's, have you, have you been preempted for this before Steph left? Did you get into do some challenges? I actually did. I figured it was Friday and you couldn't be bothered doing anything else. So the easiest one that would be to do the dandruff.

You thought it would be such a loss for me that I'd try and challenge it? Thank you producer, Sue. That's why I love you. Why do you get paid the big bucks for this and nurse Sam because you preempted our every move. Exactly. I know you guys. What did you do with her? So I got some black paper from the stationery cupboard upstairs and I made her shake

your head on it and I literally took a photo as well in case it got knocked off but it's still over there I can see I can see the dandruff from here no okay up next let's do it bring in some black card for me and harrison as well I've got two for you here the dandruff she's already prepared got sam you're good I know guys all right we'll do the challenge next on the edge your avos head harder with Sean Steph and Harrison the edge Arvo polo challenge challenge challenge we do a poll every day down to Edge Arva's Instagram. We do other poll, and we do

challenges. Yeah, man, you've really nailed the explanation. If you don't mind, if I could piggyback on that and give a little more info. Yeah, try that again. What happens is it's a daily poll, just a vibe of what you think of us, and at the end of the week, we can challenge one of them

that we don't agree with. So this is like Harrison's decided to challenge the poll of who has the most dandruff. Because I lost it. Well, you won it. Yeah, well, you lost it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

And so I didn't sit right. right with me, so I wanted to challenge that. And a lovely producer nurse, Sam, had the honours of getting black paper for us to go out and itch your heads on to to get some dandruff. And Steph,

just in case I challenged us, is actually already done some before the show. Yeah, I got Steph to do it before she left. So, Nurse Sam, we call you that because you were a nurse in your older life. You've collected samples from people. Is this the weirdest sample? Do you want talk through the procedure and how you got us to do it?

It is. Yeah, no. So I grabbed some black paper from the storage, from the stationary cupboard, and asked Steph before she left to scratch her head over the paper. How long are you talking for the scratch? I said about 20 to 30 seconds. Oh, that's quite a while. Okay. That's what I'm sorry.

And then me and Harrison have just done that. We've got the samples here for you in front of you. Pass mine over. Sam, there you go. I'm keeping it. There's a bit on there. Sorry. I don't have gloves.

This is a bit. Sam, who's dandals should we reveal first for us? to see. Can you go in declining order? Yeah, should we do that? Are you a third, second, first? I already know, I already know, just from looking, just from one second of looking at your supples. All right.

Who has the most dandruff? Sean Stiefle Harrison in third place. Third place? Goes to Sean. Okay, show it. Now, you've put, you've, she's lifted it up vertically, which it's all slid off right under the desk. Well, it's actually sticking pretty good

No, there sticks to the paper Is this a few little... Is that your head? You know, you know I'm balding So I've got less hair So there's less part for it And also I got quite a short hair Yesterday

And I've washed my hair twice since then Oh Because you've told me, you don't wash your hair as much I've washed my hair once every three weeks So there you go I've washed it twice in the last 24 hours Yeah, about three weeks It should be every week at least

It's such avon It's really bad for you Yeah Yeah Yeah Sean that's really, man That's black paper So the white's going to show out

I can't really see anything. Yeah. Truly. It's like a pinch of salt. It's a pinch of salt. Pretty much. All right.

Now, out of these last two, honestly, if you could see what I'm seeing, it looks like you might believe that you're not in the radio studio. You're actually on Happy Valley at Mount Ruahehu because there is just so much snow on the desk right now. These are pretty close.

But second place. It's insane. Please be me. It's so much dandruff. I don't want to be the dandruff guy. This is yoke. What do we do with them after? lemonade them.

Lick him if you want. No, ooh. Okay, rip it off. Who has the most down draft? Steph or Harrison? Steph. Yes!

Can we have a look? Can we have a look? This is Steph here. Which one's? This one. Oh, it's close. She covers the whole page, though. Harrison, you're missing a corner.

Oh, Steph is bad. Steff's is like a snow globe. It's like a Dalmatian dog. It is terrible. We can see if we get it up on the Adjavo's Instagram. I don't think we don't. No. That is bad, Steph.

Jesus. I'm next to talking daylight savings, and I know a lot of people listening right now are listening to Harrison and myself for the intellectuals that we are. I'm just sick seeing that. I just hope that Sean and Harrison will at some point break down

the intricacies of daylight savings and how it all works. We've got you. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. On a big, big weekend. Daylight savings happening this weekend. Huge. I think that's happening Saturday.

If I'm correct? Yep, it happens Saturday in the night, I think, from between in the middle of the night at some point. So I think we should come in here, Sean, and just come out of the gate and tell everybody what daylight savings is, because there's so much confusion about it. And I don't know, it's kind of like,

do you not know what it is? It's just kind of like get to the point. What happens? How do we do it? How do we work with that? And that's what we're going to do right now, Sean. Yeah, and a lot of people listening probably going, look, guys, I don't understand daylight savings.

Sean Harrison, you guys are kind of extant. Can you help me out? And to them, I'd say, daylight savings is a phenomenon. Sorry, I just want to confer with you. Would you call it that? It's a phenomenal. It's a bit of a trend. It's a trend.

It's a trend. Yeah. Twice a year they change, they move an hour either way. Yeah, so, from what I believe, God moves the sun. Yes. And so he can move it in different ways. And I think half the year he moves it backwards. Half the year he moves it forward of it.

Okay. But it's also a bolder. ball-shaped sun. So you can kind of roll it. And the, what do you call it, the velocity of that roll can really speed up time, which makes the time... You're confusing me. I don't think we need the reason of why.

Speed that time to go an hour. And so you get to choose whether you want to move your clock an hour backwards or forwards. Two times a year. But you only get two times. And so you get to choose backwards or forwards twice a year and that's it. So I don't have to do it this weekend. Well, you do. to move it backwards or forwards.

Oh, okay. And then I pick which one. So let's say, uh... I don't think this is that, man. You know, let's say it's 11 o'clock in the morning. Yeah. You move your clock an hour forward. Yeah.

12. For me, it's 10. So you're gonna go... Okay, so hopefully going into this weekend, you'll take that and you'll go, Dalit Savings. You know what? I know all about that

because I listen to Sean Stephen Harrison on the edge. And then you can explain it to your friends as well. But if... Yeah, yeah. So just quickly, though, do we lose an hour or get an hour? And what does that mean? Does it mean we wake up

earlier or later. All together we get two. Because you get to choose because you get to choose. Okay, you know what? We're going around in circles. Yeah, it's not going to help. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
