This is a podcast from Rover.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, welcome to the podcast today.
Some great moments.
Steph scratched your car coming into the car park and I made her call her partner of 14 years.
Jay can tell them about it live on the radio and it went really badly and it was funny to listen to.
But that's okay because we're going to be fine.
Rock solid in fact after the advice we got from people listening and the very public places they got spicy with their partners.
because, you know, it's nice to just like spice up a relationship,
especially if you've scraped a car.
Do you know, I think if you go home with a scraped up car and pitch to him,
making love in a cave, which is what one of the listeners suggested,
it's going to go very well for you.
Okay, maybe I'd do that and I record it for tomorrow.
Please.
Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
You're lucky to be alive, Steph.
No, okay.
So, okay.
I, please no one message to my partner, Jacob,
know him personally, please, for the love of God.
But I, unfortunately, was involved in a incident earlier today.
When I pulled up to the Edge Studios, there's a car park here, you drive down a little road thing,
and you turn right, and then you get to the car park.
And as I'm turning right, there's a pole where I've turned a thousand trillion times.
and for whatever reason today
I turned right a little bit early, too early
and then I heard a...
And then I realised that I have scraped
the entire right-hand side of my car
along a pole.
Yeah, you're not the other one who heard it.
People came out of the building.
People came out of neighbouring buildings.
No one came out of the building.
People thought it was an act of terrorism.
They're like, what was going on here?
But I was wondering if anyone was looking out the window
after hearing it and then just being like shame
because I was all alone out there in the car park
and I just looked at the damage that I'd just done
so avoidably.
Did you just turn up?
There was no one around.
It was just me and the pole and turning right
and I'm an idiot and I took it to really
and I've scraped the entire side of my car
and I'm just like, why?
Why me?
Why today?
Now luckily Sean, there is a silver lining here.
It's the crap car.
We have two cars.
There's a family-friendly, safe.
to drive a baby around car.
Okay.
It's not that one.
Are you sure you're safe
to drive a baby around
in any car?
After today,
I will have to rethink that.
But thank God
it was the crappy Toyota
that's covered in cobwebs
and no hubcaps
and like it's just
it's munted already.
So thank God.
It wasn't the nice car.
Yeah,
because your partner Jake
would be fuming
if it was the nice one.
No, yeah.
No, I can't know.
I mean, it'll probably
already be fuming that this is one.
No, no, no.
So I'm thinking,
I'm thinking this is my strategy.
never bring it up.
Because this is the car that I drive every day
to work and home.
Like he never really drives it.
He's going to see it.
It's like very noticeable stuff.
If I park it in a way
that he never actually sees the right-hand side
back end of the car,
I reckon I can get away with this.
This is delusional.
You have to bring it up with him.
There's no other solution
other than to mention it to him.
And the sooner the better,
because you're going to stress about it.
You've already been stressing about it today.
My hands are so clever.
Yeah, about what's he going to say tonight?
What's going to say tonight?
He's going to be so sad.
Get a head of it.
Get a head of it.
Let's take it.
Let's tell him now.
So annoying.
You've got to tell him now.
On the radio.
The thing with your partner, Jake, is whenever we call him on the radio to do something, he's so nice.
He's really nice when he knows that other people are listening.
He's nice all the time.
He's nice all the time.
But he's really nice when he knows other people are listening.
It's like when you bring up an argument with your partner when you're out for dinner with friends
so that they're nicer about it and they don't feed them for yourselves.
So his only solution is, we call him next.
I've got his number.
You tell him live on the radio show that you've crashed the car.
That way, off you.
You've told him already.
He has time to process that information before you get home.
Okay.
We'll do it next.
Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
So guys, I scraped my car when I pulled up to The Edge Studios today
in the car park against a huge pole.
Massive scrape.
Huge down the side of my car.
And Sean thinks it's a good idea to call my partner, Jake,
to confess what I've done live on the radio show right now
in the psychology that in front of people,
our listener, Fano, he wants to be.
get that mad. He's so nice
whenever we call him on the show. He's on his best
behaviour. So if you give him the...
He's always nice, but especially
in front of people, he won't, you know, lose it.
Yeah, if you're part to do something crazy and you're out
with friends for dinner, you wait until later.
You brew on it. So this is we're giving him
an opportunity. Someone texted in to
3343 saying, why don't you gaslight him
and make him think that he didn't?
Which I quite like
that idea. So you call him and go,
hey, I've noticed the scratch
on the car. A lot of damage you, Jay, and
I just want you to know I'm not happy about it.
What on earth's happened?
Well, look, the tactic that you choose to take in your relationship is up to you,
but I'm calling your partner Jake now and you have to tell them, okay?
Because if you don't, I will.
Okay.
Hello?
Jacob, Maurice, Eddale, Sean Hill here.
How are you?
Not bad.
Not bad, man.
How are you?
It's great.
I'm very well, thanks, man.
It's great to hear that you're not bad, Jake.
And hopefully that mood stays that way because I've got the love of your life here
and mother of your child, Stephanie Monks,
and she's got something that she wants to admit to you.
Oh, okay. I'm ready.
Okay. Promise you won't be mad.
I promise.
This isn't even a made-up story.
This is true real life.
Yeah.
So as I was pulling into the car park here at The Edge today,
there's a big pole that you have to drive around
to go into the car park area,
and I took it a little bit.
early.
So there's a high chance that when I heard a big boom,
that I've fully scraped like the back side, right-hand side of our car against the pole.
But silver lining, it's the crap car.
Got two cars.
There's a nicer car for the baby safety.
And then there's a crap car that I drive every day to work and back.
So it's a crap car.
It's a car that has no hub caps.
Silver lightning?
Do you reckon we can sell it now?
I honestly genuinely think we can't.
It's quite bad.
And this isn't even a bit, eh?
This is like legit.
Oh man.
Were you guys planning on selling the car, Jake?
One of us was.
Yeah, okay.
Jake wants to sell it, but I'm just holding on to it because it's just like,
hard-bucket.
Just to, like, kind of spite him, so he can't tell it.
It's fully an accident.
But...
You drive past that pole every day.
I know.
I genuinely know.
I can't believe what's happened.
It's huge.
Anyway, so you're not mad, eh?
No, just disappointed.
Yeah.
And see, this is why she did and tell him in a public medium.
He's never going to get that upset.
Because, Sean, we're saving at the moment.
We're saving.
Things are tight, you know.
We're trying to, like, scrape up money together.
And now I've actually scraped the car.
It's going to, like, cost heaps to fix.
We're just hard to sell.
So anyway, I'm glad we did this one here.
You're right, Sean.
This does feel awesome.
Yeah, cheers Jake.
Cheers, Jake.
All right, thanks guys.
All right.
Love you.
Thank you.
He's hung up.
Man, he's going to let you have it when you get home.
My heart is phrasing.
He's so upset.
Nah.
Oh, no, he'll be fine.
He's never ever letting you drive the flash car.
Oie, I'll put on this face when I get home.
Ah, you're in the clear, I reckon.
I'll be on the clear.
Yeah, you'll be in the clear.
It's a great face.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison
The Edge
Hey quick pre-facts before the five-star fact
Demi Lovato, a producer on the new Camp Rock movie
Oh, she's got to do a cameo, surely.
Yeah, because that was the thing
They said the Jonas Brothers are coming back, is Demi Lovato.
Yeah, she's coming back as a producer.
So she's like helping making it, but not going to be in it, does that mean?
But sometimes the producers are in it.
Yeah, yeah.
Fingers crossed.
You'd think so.
The Edge Five Star Fact.
It's the part of the show where I bring a fact.
our judges, which is usually Harrison, Steph and you listening,
will judge it out of five stars.
Today, Harrison, not here.
So producer, Nurse Sam, we're tapping into you as the third judge, okay?
Alongside Alec from Auckland.
Alec, welcome.
You texted earlier saying that you also crashed your car recently.
Make Steph feel better about that.
Please.
Yeah, I crashed my car yesterday as I was leaving work.
It's the work car park, hey.
It's so annoying.
What part of the car was damaged for you, Alec?
the front right
So I'm back right
So it's almost a full set
You guys should never
A road trip to get that
No never
Never never never
All right Alex
So as our guest judge this afternoon
We are looking for a number of things
With Sean's fact
We're looking for one
That is original
A fact we've never heard before
We're looking for a fact that's shareable
That Alec you feel so compelled
To go and share with all of your friends in Fano
And we're looking for a well-performed fact
Which let's be honest Sean
You nail most of the time
Yeah, thanks.
Always trying to find some sound effects or wacky kind of music.
You know what?
I've heard feedback before, Alec.
I don't know about you.
The other two judges, they don't like it when the facts are too long
because they find them hard to kind of retain
and then share with other people.
So I've stripped it way back today.
Super short, super simple.
Oh, there is such a thing as a too short fact, though, Sean.
We'll see.
Okay, we'll see.
Today's five-star fact is.
A single strand of spaghetti is called a spaghetti.
That is short.
Now, I thought this is topical, Alex,
because I don't know about you, but Steph loves to eat just plain pasta by the hamfill like a toddler.
I literally ate it last night for dinner when I got home after the show.
I had some spoonfuls of plain orzo.
It's delicious.
It's delicious.
It's my favorite.
Five plus a day.
Alec, how is that sitting with you?
I do like me a food fact.
Okay, we've really tapped into what Alec likes them.
Producer Nurse Sam?
I love this fact.
I'm giggling.
A spigito.
I real love it.
You can bring it up.
You go out for an Italian dinner.
Spaghetti's eating all the time.
Oh, can I have a spaghetti?
Wow.
You just say spaghetti wrong?
No, I didn't.
You're idiot.
It means one.
Exactly.
How good.
Like, you know, Steph, with a toddler,
you give him little spaghetti noodles for dinner.
Oh, no.
All my cat eats at the moment is chicken nuggets and tomato sauce.
I got one of those ones.
So annoying.
Watch the iPad and eat some dinoos.
You'll get to the noodle stage, I promise.
But now I can be like, oh no.
A spaghetti.
Oh, okay.
Oh, it's promising here, Sean.
All right, Alec, we need a rating out of five stars from you.
Okay, Sean.
Yes.
Food fact, you got me, right?
I love spaghetti.
And this is something that is made very frequently in households,
very easy to come across on the topic,
which is very shareable when my mom makes it.
So this is a five-star fact.
Yay!
Wow!
What a start from crashing your car to a five-star fact.
Producing her Sam.
Oh, how your week has turned around.
Sam, what are you got?
The Simon Cow of the judging panel.
I'm stuck with this.
And I also, today, Sean, give you five stars.
Wow.
Oh, no.
That means, in order for it to be a bona fide five-star fact,
Stephanie Monks will have to also get me five stars.
Sean, you know I love you as a friend.
I unfortunately.
have heard it before.
So I have to mark you down
for originality points.
No.
No. No.
No.
Sorry.
Why?
No.
It's a do like this.
Can you not just jump on the vibe
and go, yeah, let's give them the five.
Hey, you've got to be.
You've got to have integrity
with the segment.
You know?
That's fair.
Thank you, Alec.
If you've heard it, I can't change it.
Thank you, Alec.
Appreciate it, mate.
That's all good.
That's the closest you've gotten since the Red Bull fact.
Is it ever?
No.
Is it ever?
Good one, Alec.
Damn, Red Bull.
That's a throwback.
Alex locked in.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
And after this recent news story, I'll be honest, I'm actually worried for him
and his partner, Abby Chatfield, because they are heavy into the PDA.
Oh, I know what news story you're talking about.
They are PDA all day.
You're about to talk about this couple that was on a domestic flight.
Was it Nelson, Auckland?
Auckland, Nelson.
Nelson, somewhere.
And they were sitting near the front of the plane,
and they were asked repeatedly by,
flight attendants on the flight
to stop making out with each other.
Yeah.
Yep, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
It happened in New Zealand as well.
This is crazy.
I know.
On a domestic, a quarter hour.
On a little, like, propeller plane.
Like, it's a very small plane.
I know that they serve a lovely salve
and a bit of bree cheese,
and that may be an aphrodisiac.
But keep your hands to yourself
when in the sky.
Look, public displays of affection is always,
it always makes other people feel uncomfortable.
but imagine being on a small little regional flight like that
and you're seeing people going at it on each other
like full-on smoochies
to the point where a staff member of New Zealand,
a flight attendant has had to kind of bend down
to be like, probably tap them on the shoulder as they're passionate,
be like, sorry, sorry, interrupts.
Being very polite, very professional.
And they've had to look at her.
And they look at her and go, oh, I'll have the bliss balls, please.
They're like the Kasavajibati.
The Kasso's.
They're really well right now.
No, no, no.
Sorry, just the kissing, the extensive PDA that you're doing at the moment, that has to stop.
And then they stop, and then they go back.
So I've done some research on this.
I've watched some videos.
Of course you have.
Of course you.
I've read some articles.
You've seen all the CCTV.
I downloaded a browser that leads me onto the dark web.
I found some things about this flight, because I hate PDA.
I honestly do.
I can't stand it.
Do you hate watching it or being a part of it?
Both.
Okay.
It's something that makes me uncomfortable.
comfortable. I grew up in a household where we did not show physical affection.
No love.
There's not a lot of love physically.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Fervily.
Yeah, of course.
Parents love me.
Would you like hug each other ever, like your family?
If you're going away for some time.
Oh, okay.
And funerals.
And, of course, funerals.
So I was like, I don't like PDA.
That explains a lot, by the way.
Anyway, continue.
So I think a kiss on the lips, a little fine, maybe a hug's fine, arm around, hold hands,
that's okay.
Yep.
It's the passion, it's the French kissing.
And that stuff happens, and I'm like, how did it get to the point where they had to stop it?
And I've done some research.
And apparently there was quite heavy petting.
Hands going in different places.
Hands under shirts.
Hands under jumpers overlaps.
I'm wondering why people complained.
I mean, there's not much to do on a domestic flight.
If you're getting given free entertainment, just enjoy it.
just sit back, relax, enjoy the flight.
That's a crazy take.
Because they didn't have in-flight entertainment on a domestic,
you're like, this is amazing.
You don't get the quiz.
So you can watch some adults going at it.
It's just insane to do that to the point where you get in trouble.
And they've ended up in court.
Yeah.
It's in court at the moment for this case of PDA,
which is just insane.
If someone knows this couple, please get them on the show.
I've got to know what happened.
If it's okay with you, Sean, and everyone listening,
I would love to take calls on O'Noh,
100 the edge to give me and my relationship of 14 years a bit of advice.
Because we're very, I mean, we're very conventional in the way that business time
is only ever done in the boudoir.
Yeah, okay.
We don't venture out like PDA or more ever into different places.
It's just the funny.
That's where the fun happens.
Yeah, no public displays of affection.
We're not even having private displays of affection.
Well, you know, after a baby takes well.
But I would love some advice
Please call and tell us
We're the most public places
That you've ever
Bompchika wow wow
The beach
Really
Yeah the beach for me
Really
In the water or just on the sand
Was it night time?
Yeah
Was it did it get in the annoying places?
Wasn't good yeah
No yeah I can't imagine it being very good
But that's quite boring as is
I think there'd be more exciting ones than that
Friend of mine did it night time again
No one was around
But in the tunnel
of a children's playground.
Well, that won't hold up in court.
Yeah, really problematic.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
And everyone's decided to stay anonymous today, which feels smart.
Okay, Anonymous number one.
Did they know what numbers?
Did they say?
Anonymous from Palmer's the North.
I feel like we can say that.
Can we say that, producer Nessam?
Thumbs up.
We can say that.
All right.
Hi, Anonymous from Parmi.
Today, how's it going?
Not as well as you, you, you dirty dog.
Where'd you do it?
So, yeah, that was quite a long, long time ago,
so I can't exactly remember how it all panned out.
But, yeah, me and an ex at the time did it
in the warehouse changing rooms.
There's nothing sexier than the quite decrepit.
Fluorescent lighting.
Fluorescent lighting of a warehouse changing room.
They don't even closed either.
They're very open.
Normally it's just a curtain, I mean, if your warehouse is anything like my warehouse.
Open top, I believe, as well.
Yeah.
I'm probably sure I had a door at the time from memory.
Okay.
Okay, damn.
So what made you, we just like in the moment, you're just like, oh man, you're looking at each other.
You're like, damn, you're hot, you're hot too, let's go.
Trying on some warehouse themed active wear on a Steinlager t-shirt and you're like, let's see where this goes.
Yeah, something like that.
Damn, anonymous.
Love that for you.
Is that giving you any ideas?
Yeah, absolutely is.
No, I'm not lying.
I think that's a bit roomy as well.
Roomier than other the stores changing rooms, the warehouse ones.
Fantastic stuff.
All right, let's go to To Runga now to our another anonymous caller.
Where'd you do it?
On a holiday in a cave in Mercury Island in the Coramandel.
Hot.
Time of day?
Like middle of the day
Maybe like two o'clock
In a cave
That is something out of a movie
Wow
stranded on an island together
Were you?
Nervous little bit
Go ahead
Okay so the beach was empty
But we left our
Our parents-in-law
On the boat that we pulled up on
And we went on a little walk
And we saw the cave
And we were like, let's go in there
And then
Obviously my partner
I was like, should we do it?
But I was so nervous that his parents hopped off the boat and decided to like follow us.
Oh, no.
Then what happened?
Oh, well, like, we walked out and we like looked at the rocks and the fish and stuff.
We went to back to the boat.
Like, nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
You were like coast is clear.
No parents in sight.
Let's go for it.
Oh, my gosh, anonymous.
You dirty devil.
It's a good one.
It's a great one.
I could see you guys popping out to a coastal cave.
Yeah, I mean, I'm getting inspired right now.
Now, let's wrap it up with Invercargill Anonymous Caller.
Where's the most public place you've ever done the deed?
Well, there's a little story behind this one.
Me and my partner were, like, dairy farming out in the middle of nowhere,
and we were playing darts one night, and we were quite bored,
so we decided to spice it up a bit.
And if I won, he had to do a lap around the entire...
said naked and if he won we had to do it on a motorbike in the middle of the paddock.
Who won?
Fair trade?
He won.
See, wait, you did it on the motorbike?
Yeah.
While it was on?
No.
In the middle of a paddock.
You can't do it while riding in a bike.
You mean like a quad bike?
Yeah, but it wasn't like moving, but it was on.
Wow.
I guess extra vibration.
Okay, right, wrapping it up.
Thank you anonymous and infamous.
This is infamous infical shit I've ever heard doing it on the back of a quad bike on a
I'm very inspired, everybody.
This is fantastic stuff. Can we do this again?
No, you're too into it.
I'm so into it.
Your Ivo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
In 2017, the Pirateship at Rainbow's End lost its life.
It was murdered.
No, it wasn't murdered.
It was killed and it was gone forever.
However, it sailed its last sale.
Recently, Rainbow's End, the beloved theme park in Tamiki Makoto
have revealed that the pirate ship, just like Jesus,
has been resurrected.
In the next couple of weeks,
there is going to be a new pirate ship
at Rainbow's End,
and we're working behind the scenes
to try and get there,
to cut the ribbon,
to make it official,
to get like a whole squad of people
to ride this thing.
We want to ride it together.
I'm so excited.
I never read the pirate ship originally.
I would love to dress up like a pirate
and kind of see what all the fuss is about.
Arami Hardy, it's time to party.
Arami Harty, it's time to party.
That's a song that I wrote once.
So we need a voice.
vibe check Rambo Zend right now because, I mean, Alpha's levels are high.
I know a lot of people listening right now.
You want to be in the squad that goes on the new pirate ship for the first time with us.
But how are Rambozend feeling?
Welcome to Rainbow Zend. You're speaking with Gabby.
Gabby, our Rainbow Zend roaming reporter on the ground there.
It's the Edge Radio station.
Sean and Steph, how are you, Gabby?
Gahy, Gabb's.
Good, thank you.
I think I've just picked up the call by mistake.
No, Gabby, you haven't.
This is intentional.
we meant to touch base with you.
Absolutely.
Because we know how excited you are, Gabby,
for the return of the pirate ship.
Yes, yeah.
Just a moment, just because I've picked up the line from another office,
so that's time thinking it was supposed to be for another person.
Okay.
Well, no, we're happy to talk to you, Gabby.
We'd love to talk to you, Gabby.
We just want to know how the vibes are at Rainbow's End,
the head of the pirate ship coming back in action.
Yeah, everyone's excited.
Yes, that's what I was hopping for.
Yeah.
Oh, no, that's a cowboy.
Is it true that it's going to go higher than the last time the pirate ship was there?
Sorry, guys, I can't see any information about the Pirateship
because we haven't been briefed on any of the information at all.
Fair enough. But Gabby, you can confirm that the vibes are high at Rainbow's End in anticipation.
Yes, yes, yeah.
Okay, can you give us some off the book information, Gabby?
No, she can't.
I don't have any information at all, sorry.
That's why they haven't briefed us.
No, Gabby, it's given us more than enough.
The vibes are high, just like the pirate ship's going to be.
Gabby, I'm just going to cut to the chase.
We'd love to cut the ribbon.
Do you know if there's a ribbon cutting situation?
And would you be willing...
I have no idea.
I'm so sorry.
Would you be willing to pitch it in the staff meeting?
Sean, we've got our people working behind the scenes to talk to the Ramazin people.
Do I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay, sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So let's leave Gabby alone.
But just to confirm...
Thank you.
Gabby, the vibes are high.
Definitely, the vibes are high.
Yeah.
That is some good roaming reporting from you, Gabi.
Thank you so much.
Amazing.
Love that, Gail.
Thank you.
Hey, take care.
Bye.
Bye.
Can we get a couple of media passes?
Oh, no, she's left.
Just gone.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
How do you know Stan Walker?
100th grade.
Stam Walker!
Every Wednesday we do this.
0800 the Edge, best degree of separation to Stan wins.
All right, let's rip into it.
From Riverhead.
Christine is here.
Christine, what is your Stan Walker story?
Okay.
I go down to the Henderson pools and I like waterwalking during the sauna.
And when I was in there, Stan Walker and a few of the people that were in the competition that he was doing at the time was in the sauna, topless and hot.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Christine, did you walk into a sauna with Stan Walker?
That is a lot of people's dream right there.
We're not only Stan Walker, Hopless and hot Stan Walker.
It's a great story.
And humming away music.
Oh, good.
Oh my gosh.
Kay, Christine, we are off to a great start.
I may.
You start to frequent the Henderson Pools.
I don't live anywhere near it, but I'll be there.
That's going to be hard to beat.
All right, let's see if Sharon's Stan Walker story is up to scratch.
Right, Sharon, have you seen him?
What do you know?
No, I haven't seen him.
So a few years ago, Stan Walker had a concert in Christchurch.
he went back to his hotel and hosted a after-party at the hotel,
and the after-party guests ended up breaking the list in the hotel,
and the company I worked for had to go and repair the list.
Sensational.
I feel like applauding that.
Sharon, that is actually the greatest degrees of separation story I've ever heard.
You're so far removed from it.
The fact that you even have this in your head is a story you can tell.
is shocking to me.
Yeah.
And I love that.
Sharon works for a company that fixed lifts,
and you had to fix the lift that Stan Morga broke at a hotel at an after party.
It's just fantastic.
You could have, you could, chat jeeput can't put all this stuff, can it?
Is this sensational?
Shazza, there's no need.
No, I mean.
There's no need to go through any more.
Because I think Nicole's story's going to be on par.
Okay, Nicole, hit us.
Hey, so when it was during COVID times,
and I worked for MIQ and I helped with the testing
and Stan Walker and his mum came, were in my hotel.
I helped with the testing and his mum walked off
and she didn't have her mask on.
So I had to yell at her across the room.
Mum put your mask on to wear most of the room last.
And then that night I was watching Stan Walker doing a live from Instagram
where he was talking about how he got a massive trouble,
him and his mother for not following the rules in MIQ.
It's a great story too.
Oh, that's a great story.
Oh my God, great.
Man, have we wish I'm going to tell off not only Stan Walker,
but the woman who told Stan Walker off his whole life, his mum?
His mum.
Your degrees away from telling off Stan Walker.
Oh, that's good.
Well, I wasn't, he was just laughing.
It's so good.
Okay.
The fact that he'd ended alive and talked about it.
All right, so our contenders this afternoon to try and find the best.
Our favourite Stan Walker story is Christine,
who saw Stan Walker topless and hot at a sauna.
Sharon, who were.
works for a broken lift company that fix lifts.
And Stan Walker and his friends broke a lift that she then had to fix at an after party.
Not even her.
Not even her.
Her company.
Her company had to fix.
In an after party.
And Nicole, who worked at a COVID-E-My queue and his mum wasn't wearing her mask properly so she did tell him off.
This segment, Steph, is a fine wine because I feel like any other day all of these stories would win.
Yeah.
I would give them all these stories winners in the past weeks.
but today, for me...
Hold on look at me.
Do we agree?
For me, it's got to be that person.
Absolutely.
Congratulations.
Sharon from Christchurch.
Whose company helped fix a lift
that his friends broke
in an after party
that his friends had at his place
in a hotel.
So good.
Shot Sharon.
Thank you.
Your avos head harder
with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Well, I'm struggling because you
I'd have noticed this that I've been really into my light blue milk recently when I make coffees at work.
First of all, how does anyone else notice how anyone else at work takes their coffee?
Like, I'm not...
Well, I see the way you look at me.
Yeah, but you just stare at me all the time.
That's something else.
But I'm not looking at what kind of milk you're working.
Okay, regardless of how much attention you're paying to me.
A light blue?
Yeah, I've decided that the regular blue is too much, permence, too heavy.
I tried to go to a green, too watery.
I think a light blue is perfect
And I'm struggling with
When I go to a cafe
How to order a light blue flat white
Without sounding like a loser
I've never thought about it
You're so right
Because if you go
I have a flat white
They give you full dark blue
Blue, yeah
And then if you go can I have a trim
They'll go green
Thank you
Oh my god, I've literally never thought about it
I'm gonna call a cafe right now
And see if they've got the answer
Hi, I didn't some coffee comment
I don't speak and how can I help?
Hey, how are you doing?
Sean Hill here from the Edge Radio Station
How are you?
Good, how are you?
I'm very well, thank you.
Thanks. I have recently gotten quite into a light blue top milk with my coffee.
Okay.
And I don't know how to order that at a cafe. I feel like it's not an option.
You either get a flat white or you get a trim flat white.
A light flat white?
Is it a skim?
Yeah, so white blue top, is it a skim milk or trim milk?
Either way works, I think.
But then I always was under the impression that if you said trim milk or skim milk, they're going to give you a green top.
I think it depends on the cafe.
You can probably ask what colour of the milk they use.
If I was to go, hey, can I have a flat white, make it light blue?
The barista's going to make fun of me behind my back.
No.
I don't think they won.
But they said light blue.
If they're good, the baristas.
And they're saying, oh, we don't have light blue milk,
but instead we have yellow top, a green top.
And then you can decide.
Perfect.
Thank you very much.
You've been very helpful.
It's okay.
It's okay.
All right.
Have a great afternoon.
You too, bye.
Bye.
That was my big fear.
I just have to keep going.
Light blue milk, please.
I see, I don't think you'd be able to taste a difference if they put in green, yellow, blue.
Oh, I can.
I honestly can.
I don't think you can.
I reckon I can.
It's like when people say that you can't taste the difference between Pepsi and Coke.
Okay, producer new Sam, bring in the cups.
In front of you, Sean, you're about to be presented with...
Oh, I'm not sleeping tonight.
Two cups.
Now, unfortunately, I ran out of time to put coffee in it, so it's just frothed milk.
Are you kidding me?
In one cup you've got...
How about me to tell the difference if it's just fluffies?
In one cup, you've got light blue frothed milk, your personal favourite.
And in the other cup, we have a light green frothed milk.
You really haven't even made me a coffee.
Thus, we will confirm that you actually can't taste the difference and just stop being a big crybaby
and just like deal with the coffee you get given.
Okay, bottoms up.
This is milk number one.
Milk number one.
Taking a look at it.
It's awful.
I don't want to drink.
Actually, it's kind of quite nice.
Yeah, well, milk is lovely.
It'll get you sleepy.
I feel like a baby goat.
Yeah.
Or just a baby anything, really.
You know, he heap the milk up, Sam?
Pretty soon.
Okay, milk number two.
Bottoms up.
Big slur.
Yeah, milk number two is the green one.
Milk number one's the blue one.
Or they're both green and it's a prank.
Sean's nailed it.
No, Sean's nailed it.
The first one was blue, the second one was green.
You can actually taste it.
I can taste it.
Wow.
Yeah, is that really what it is?
It might be different if you make it into a coffee.
I didn't have time.
Okay, well, I take back the crybaby thing.
Oh, do I?
No, I don't.
I don't give up that.
Yeah, you still have cried a day.
And can you text in if you're a barista and let me know how I can order a light blue coffee.
Oh, I just suck it up.
I just pick one out.
You're avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
It is time for the blind ranking.
This is when producer, Nurse Sam, gives us a category and gives us
five things that we are unaware of and we will blind rank them.
Ready, so today we have got, we are going to blind rank nostalgic school holiday activities.
Oh, I love the school holidays.
Yeah.
There was one school holidays that me and my best friend were inseparable and we did one night at her house,
one night at my house and then did it did it do.
Like the whole school holidays was the best.
Oh, that's so fun.
Oh, so fun.
I once did that, but I just ended up staying at my friend's house for like two weeks and then
their parents got really sick of me and asked my mum if she could take me back.
My mum used to have to drop, like, groceries to my friend's houses
because I stayed there and ate all their food for ages.
She felt bad.
It's what you do in the school holidays.
You, like, sleepover.
Yeah, it's the funnest thing.
Totally.
Bring back the, like, adult besty sleepover, right?
Oh, my God, how good.
So cute.
I saw that on TikTok this week.
It was, like, guys in their 30s were, like, we're bringing back the sleepover.
Come over, we're playing, like, some PlayStation games, some pizza.
So fun.
Yeah.
Love it.
What do you imagine that we do on our sleepovers?
Pillow Fight and Make Out.
Yeah, thought so.
How close am I?
Pretty close.
Bang on.
Alrighty, so first one today is going to the mall,
dressed in your cool clothes,
and mixing every soft drink flavor together at the Burger King Food Corps.
We grew up on the North Shore.
I know exactly what Burger View you are.
Jungle juice.
That is, look, I grew up in Tauronga.
I did the exact same thing.
I'd be going to Bayfair.
I'd be rolling around in my drop crotch jeans.
No money to my name.
I'd maybe get like a small frozen Coke in that, was it?
And I'd be never two hours at the mall.
So where the Burger King that I know Sam's referring to is in Takapuna
And it's right by a movie theatre
So he used to go to BK and then get like a BK chicken burger
And just smuggle it into the movies
And the Hershey's Pie
Oh, how good were Hershey's Pie?
Yes
Oh that's great, I think we've got to rank it too
It's can't be number one
But it's a pretty elite high school
It's pretty good
Holiday activity
Love that, okay, yeah let's go number two
Sam
Okay next one is going to video easy
hiring out horror movies, then staying up at 3 a.m. watching them with your friends acting like you're okay,
but you're actually not, and then you never ever could sleep in the dark again for ages.
Oh my God, you're so right.
If you just tuned in, we're blind-ranking school holiday activities, but we are all in our 30, so this is quite...
I might not relate to someone nowadays.
I first saw a Texas Train So Massacre that way during a school holiday, horror movie.
Blair Witch Project.
Rental.
I've never been the same.
I want to rank it low because it's quite horrific, actually, for me.
So traumatic.
like horror movies? I'm going to go five for that one if it's okay.
Can we go four? We'll go four. We'll go four.
We'll go to the dairy. All right. Next we've got going to the dairy with all the five
and ten cent pieces you could find and buying the best mixed bag of lollies, cola ice block tubes
and tattoo bubblegums that you can. But being jealous of your mate who's rich because they get
hubba-bubba and a bubble obel. Yes. Or even better, the chocolate lolly scramble.
You know the one that came in the little tub?
Yes, Riches.
Yeah, we're back checking the spacesuit on the front.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hot.
And you used to get, like, the fake cigarette lollies.
Let's go three for that, I think.
Yeah, three.
So we're leaving one in five on the board, which is never safe.
Already.
Next is catching tadpoles and eels at the creek and collecting them in buckets,
but they're getting sad because, like, a few hours later,
they all start dying, and then you just got buckets of dead fish and eels,
and then you feel pretty stink.
I feel like this is a sand thing.
I never did that.
I could not relate less to the same way.
I'd be like producer new Sam, that is all you.
That's going number five.
Fish murder.
Number five.
I feel so seen.
Polluting a creek, I'm going to go five.
Cool. And then the last one is shoving a plastic bottle and your bicycle spoke so that you sounded like you were riding a motorbike and you just hoon around your neighborhood until it was dark.
And then you heard your mum yelling on the deck.
And she's like, come home for dinner.
But you couldn't because you're like, you got motorbike stuff to do.
Again, I don't know.
Once again.
But I think that's a Sam special.
Never heard of it.
South Auckland.
Put it in a more.
Put it in a more, baby.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Our road trips, Steph, that I used to take with my fiancé Jeannie,
used to sound a little bit like that.
We'll be listening to Ed Shearing albums.
Recently, they sound a little bit like this.
Any sign of that.
You never got a sense that your son.
If I had had any.
sense of it, I would have taken action.
Bill seemed to still struggle
with what his son was accused of.
We just listen to True Crime Podcasts.
Okay. I wasn't sure what that was.
What true crime podcast is this?
This one's called 15 A Killers Mind.
Oh, my gosh. Oh my gosh.
See, I don't know. I watched,
I mean, I listened to, what was that first?
The one that really did the rounds
a few years back.
Syriot? No.
The Silk Road one.
Nah, it was Adnan.
Serial.
Yeah, Adnan, yeah.
Oh, that's good.
I got into that big time.
Yeah, that's really good.
That's a lot of, it's a big commitment to listen to a true life real crime podcast because it's like hours and hours and hours of pretty gruesome stuff.
Yeah, so we've found this out that the Venn diagram, which is like those graphs with the two circles and the cross in the middle.
The part with me and my partner meet in the middle on podcast interest is very small.
I'll listen to like a sports thing.
or a music thing that I like.
She'll listen to, like, call her daddy.
I'm not really into that.
She's got her girly kind of lifestyle things.
And in the middle where both of us meet is quite horrific true crime podcasts.
Wow.
On a road trip.
A road trip is supposed to be exciting.
And you're like sharing snacks and like choosing a playlist.
Yeah, and listening to some people who like hit a body in a river.
That's crazy.
And then we're dug up years later.
You know, I just was just thinking about it because we recently road trip down to Rottorua on the weekend.
And we were listening to quite a heinous.
like true crime podcast on the way back
and I was like we were both loving it as well
sitting in silence for like two hours listening to this
and I want to talk to you as a friend who's been in a relationship
a lot longer than me. Is this healthy?
Well look I can't
yes I think it's fine
my partner Jake and I
we've been we love a whodunit kind of thriller
in terms of like watching stuff at once a baby's gone to bed at night
so I can't see the difference really
and I feel like it's absolutely not just you
and your partner Jeannie who's into true crime
at all
because I've just chat GPTed
the reason why we're into this stuff.
Amazing.
Why does anyone pay for therapy anymore?
Just chat GPT it.
And it's so normal.
People's fascination with true crime podcast
is a blend of psychological,
emotional and social factors.
You've got morbid curiosity, Sean.
You're naturally quite curious
and things that are like
are dangerous
and outside of the normal experience.
Yeah.
You've got a desire to understand
and control.
Does that ring any bells?
No, I like that.
I don't want to, I can't stress this enough.
I'm not interested in committing a crime.
No, no.
Like this.
But I do, I'm interested in listening to it.
You want to understand how and why crimes happen.
So you have like a bit of more control.
If anything was to ever happen in your life, then you'd like be able to like know what to do maybe a little bit more.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
So, maybe.
It's just morbid curiosity.
Maybe.
Problem solving.
What about that?
Oh, that's a good one.
It's predict what happens.
Who's done it.
Yeah.
Is this person telling the truth or not, that kind of thing.
Exposure to fear.
But like horror movies, you would kind of like get off a little bit on like being spooked a little bit, but in the comfort of our own lounge.
Maybe the same with a true crime podcast.
Maybe.
I resent the implication that I get off.
I'm listening to True Crime Podcasts in the car with my girlfriend.
But it's like, you know, being spooked a bit.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
You don't think you should be concerned.
However, I will be linking you to a fantastic documentary series by the name of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Please do.
Yeah, yeah.
Does it come an audio format for a road trip?
I'll make sure it does.
Okay, great.
Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, hope you enjoyed the podcast.
Some exciting moments today.
This is the podcast outro, a little bit extra for you.
This stuff didn't quite make it to hear.
And I think we've just got to address, again, the fact that Steph did quite badly scrape your car coming into the car park today, as you heard.
I'm so annoyed at myself.
So avoidable.
You know, I have a fear every time I drive my partner's car because it's really not my car.
So you guys share two cars.
I don't have a car, but my partner has a nice car.
And I take her car to work maybe half the time.
And I am very, my biggest fear,
and now that I've spoken it out loud,
it will probably happen at some point.
But my biggest fear is like having to return her car to her with a dent.
And I was like, she bought it new.
She spent all her money on it.
And she's kept in such good nick.
And my fear is I come back.
And thank God, I haven't done anything yet,
but I come back with a scrape on it or a dent.
It's so hard to keep a car in Goodnick.
I bought the car I have now.
The reason there's no hubcaps on it
is because the wheels that it came with
weren't like oxygen wheels.
They were like some other gas in there
and it had mags and it was so pretty
but I kept scraping the mags along the
curve when I'd park
to the point where it was so consistent
with the scraping. They were all munted
and so I just replaced all of the wheels
You had beautiful wheels
Beautiful
Beautiful mag wheels
You know you're doing very little
To help the stereotype
That female drivers scrape the curb
That's so true
I can't remember the last time
I was scrape the curb
I'm not saying that it's a gender thing
No I do it every day
Yeah yeah yeah oh yeah
Is it because you're fearful of parking too far away from the curb
So you go so close
No it's just because I'm bad
You're bad at it
Yeah no I just say I'm not fearful
I'm just bad
Do you do the classic cliche thing
That once again
Don't want to make
This is a sex thing
But there is I guess a stereotype
hope that when women drivers do do that, they go, whoopsie.
Yeah, I think that words come out of my mouth a couple of times.
Luckily, touch wood, it's only ever been a little scrape or a bump.
There was a time that I bumped the car in front of me because, to be honest, it was his
fault because he didn't leave the red light to the green light quickly enough, and he was
at the front.
And it's his responsibility to go as soon as it's grain.
And I...
So you just started going even though he wasn't there.
I was behind him.
I saw the green.
and I was like, okay, we'll give it a beat before I go.
But I was down turning up the radio,
or I think I liked the song or something.
So my eyes were on the radio,
and I just gently nudged him
to the point where his bumper fell off.
Just a gentle nudge.
How have I not heard the story?
What did he do?
He kind of signalled to pull over.
He checked it out.
He's like, it'll be fine.
His bumper came off, though.
Yeah.
That's not fine.
Did he put it in the back and just go out?
No, it was just loose.
Oh, loose.
I mean, that's not good.
It's not great.
But he got my contact deal with details.
Never heard from him.
Oh, that's good.
I don't think I've ever hit into another...
I've scraped my car up on like a pole and a shopping centre when I had a crappy car,
but I've never hit into someone else.
I'm so thankful for that.
Yeah, thank God.
Anyway, one of those days.
Do you hear about the time I almost died in a car?
Oh, I don't know if I do.
No, no, it's honestly fate.
And I think about it every time I go past this turn.
I save my friend's life.
Oh, God.
It was like meant to happen that day.
So I used to teach, there's a true story, and this is great, it haunts me whenever I think about it.
I used to teach guitar when I was in high school because I didn't want to get like a, I was trying to get extra money.
So I would do guitar lessons from my parents' house maybe a couple times a week and I had a few different students and they'd come over and they'd just do half an hour lessons with me.
And I always remember, I was very good at it.
I was only 16 and I was running this thing and I was trying to be very professional about it.
And one day, which is so unlike me, I forgot that I had a student.
I never forget that I had a student
And my mum called me
She goes, the student at your house
I said oh my God, I'm so sorry
It's so embarrassing
I'll be back in five minutes
I was at my friend's house
Around the corner
Five minutes from my house
And we were in his pool
Having a swim
And there's a bunch of us
Maybe five of us
And my friend John
I didn't have a car at the time
I was 16
I said oh I've got to get home
I'll get home
And mom is like can come get you
I'm like and John
My friend just got his restricted license
And just bought a car that day
And he goes
I can drop you home
I'm gonna go past your house
I'm leaving now
And I was okay
That's all right
It's just like two minutes
drop me home. She goes, no worries. He shouldn't have yet as restricted, but he just got a car.
He was excited. He was coming up the road. I was like, what could happen? Yeah.
So I get in the car with John. I'm going home. Once again, not even that good of friends with
John. First time I've ever been in a car with him. Never forget that I've got a guitar lesson.
I never even go to this mate's house. I was just with a bunch of like other friends.
And we're coming out in his house. His driveway pulls onto another side road that pulls onto a main road
in Tohung. You'd not if you come into Tohung. It goes past the Mariah into Bethlehem.
it's a hundred kilometer road
I think I know that plot
yeah 100 kilometre road
and it turns out right onto this 100 kilometre
road yeah so he's turning there
cars coming cars coming cars coming
but scary cars coming both ways it's by 4pm
pretty decent traffic 100K road
he I'm looking to the right where cars are coming
at us he's looking straight ahead
he starts to just drive out onto the road
I go John stop and rip his handbrake
he stops a logging truck
goes in front of our car so close
that the wind moves our car.
I'm like, bro, what were you doing?
He goes, I thought they were turning left.
I thought they were turning into this.
Oh my gosh.
And we were pale as ghosts
and drove out and got back to my house.
And I guarantee if I wasn't in the car with John,
he absolutely dies.
He drives in front of a logging truck
and it hits his side.
And now he's married, he's got a business,
he's got a kid on the way.
I think about it all the time.
And this guy wasn't even like a good maid of mine.
Would he have still been driving that way
had he not been dropping you off?
Yeah, that's the way to just get out of the road.
And everything about,
So you were made me feel so...
Late to that guitar lesson on purpose.
Everything about that was so abnormal as to what would normally happen to me.
Oh, I've got a shiver down my spine.
I felt like goosebumps.
And every time I think about it, I feel good.
I feel like that was divine intervention for me to be there.
Were you invited?
No.
No, one thing I'm not that good of friends with him.
Okay, no, that's okay.
I wonder if he thinks about it the same amount I think about it.
I feel like he brushed it off and I was like, you...
He was looking left and driving out.
He absolutely dies.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
And this truck, like, this truck was so close.
to us.
Oh no.
Like, and the truck swerved.
Like this log truck almost went over to the other side of the road and killed someone.
Oh, it's so scary.
You know, I've been a intense story for the podcast.
Don't like that.
But thank God.
Thank God it all worked out.
Yeah.
Really?
Really, thank God.
It's crazy.
Oh, it's horrible.
I mean, like, fantastic result, but just so scary.
But I like, I remember, you know, you don't remember much from high school.
I remember it so vividly.
I feel as like I'm in the car when I'm saying.
I remember exactly what, like, I remember the color of the truck.
It's just like, it puts you right back.
You can smell everything.
You can feel everything.
you're right back there.
And I didn't think too much of it at the time
until I looked back on it
because you're like 16
you don't really think about it that much.
Oh, that was like, oh, that was close.
Yeah.
I think about there's another thing that,
so my friend was leaving to go move overseas
and a bunch, so many people were going to the airport
to say goodbye.
There was no room for me in the car
that I think I was too late to be like,
can I come with you?
And it's like, the car's full,
but go with this person.
His car was full too,
but he's like, why don't you just lie in the back?
in the boot.
So it was Station Megan.
I lay in the boot the whole time
from the North Shore to Auckland Airport.
He was...
It's a long drive.
It's a long drive and he was speeding.
You know, there's like...
How'd you know if you're in the boot?
Because you can feel it.
And also the guys in the car were like, whoa.
Like, it was horrific.
And there's like roundabouts...
As you're approaching the airport,
well, they used to be.
Yeah, there are some of it.
He was flying through them.
Like you can tell when your mate's like taking,
like he was flying through these.
How old was this guy?
It would have been 16, about the same age.
I think young men with cars are so dangerous.
Yeah, it was terrible.
But like stupid step for getting in the back.
Like what an idiot.
My parents wouldn't even know that.
Yeah, terrifying.
Ew.
Like, ugh.
Young guys showing off with the car who shouldn't probably be driving it is like the scariest thing of it.
Because they don't realize you can just kill yourself,
you can kill someone else so easily.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like literally, it's like giving someone a gun.
The wall of a cart when you run one, it feels invincible, but it's this then.
