This is a podcast from Rover.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, welcome to the podcast.
On the show today, we talk to people about their bad driving test stories
after a VTNZ in Auckland is making 300 people reset it
because they were taking bribes.
Yeah.
In particular, there's one message that we received.
That was just so wild that you have to go and listen to the podcast to hear it.
It literally is insane.
Well, this is the podcast.
I've clicked on it.
Oh, then great.
You've done a good decision.
Keep listening.
Don't leave now.
Keep listening.
Also today we talk about tea bag gate.
We get hopefully one step closer to figuring out what the heck's happen to Sean's expensive tea bags.
And my dog's in love with me.
Yeah, that is weird actually.
Stick around until the end of the podcast.
The podcast's outro today goes off the rails.
Literally, when we talked about it on the show today that my dog's in love with me
and the detail
evidence that I've got,
my partner, my fiance,
never texts about content
that we're talking about,
not once ever.
He not only texted me twice,
but he called me
and he goes,
what the fuck was that about?
He did say that.
So apologies, everyone.
Usually we actually reserve
the swearing for the end of the podcast.
We haven't done at NSFW morning,
but hopefully the kids didn't hear that.
Steph said truck.
Your avos head harder
with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
We all go through stages of life where we pick up different hobbies.
I think there's a part of us where we need to pick up adult hobbies as well.
For example, Steph, I've recently taken up golf.
Oh, awesome.
I think that's maturing and you've recently taken up gardening.
No, see, you're recently engaged.
What does your fiancΓ© genie think about you being MIA for about eight hours during the weekend?
Yeah, that's it, isn't it?
I mean, she actually likes the alone time.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
We don't have a kid or anything, so I'm not like I'm not running out on anything.
But I do think for some partners that is just like...
Yeah, it's very convenient.
And men, don't tell your partners that it doesn't take eight hours to play a game of golf.
No one tell them that.
It's about half that time with the other four hours at the pub, right?
Just debriefing about that.
The 19th hole, yeah.
The 19th hole is your esophagus.
Now, my hobby is also just like a cost of living kind of experiment, I guess, to try and...
Things are tight.
everybody, including my household, and so as a way of trying to save money, I have tried to
become a gardener this year.
Adding it to the geriatric hobbies that you've taken up, including puzzling?
Which I recently gave away all my puzzles, because with a one and a half year old, I just have
no time for that anymore, unfortunately.
So, yes, from one...
What if you're puzzling, gardening?
Nett.
No, I don't knit.
I feel like you're crocheting a little bit.
No, I don't.
I do love it.
I respect it, but I don't do it.
So a few months ago, Sean and everyone listening, I, I,
I was like, what do I eat every day?
And I could plant myself, thus saving money,
because you buy the seeds once,
and then hopefully you'll have an abundance of that vegetable
and saving your money.
You don't have to re-buy them all the time.
I eat a carrot for lunch every day.
Yeah, you do eat a lot of carrots.
I ate a lot of carrots.
So, months ago, Sean,
I planted little baby carrot plants.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Amazing.
This is going to save us so much money.
Famously a very cheap vegetable.
You can buy like a little carrot.
kilo of carrots for $3.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Also, I'm planted brocolini,
which is just doing so well.
That's an expensive vegetable.
Just doing really well, actually.
Just flourishing.
But however, I went to harvest some carrots
today for the first time.
Now, I haven't touched the stuff.
We've made sure it's watered and all the rest of it.
Well loved, well cared for, weeded.
But haven't actually pulled out the carrots
because they grow underground, right?
You can't actually see how big they're getting.
Yeah.
I go to the vegetable garden today.
And I've bought in the carrots
that I have harvested.
Wait, between planting the seeds and harvesting them, how long did you give them?
Months.
How many months?
Like three months.
Oh, that's a lot.
Yeah, I'd figure they'd be ready by now.
I present to you three months worth of carrot growth.
If you could just describe what you're seeing.
I would say, without being too graphic at this time, that is a micro penis of a carrot.
That's what I thought.
It looks like a baby bird's egg attached to it.
There's more a green part than there is carrot.
And not only are they small, they're like bulbous.
Yeah.
They're smaller than radishes.
They are.
Tiny little things.
They taste all right.
Have you tried them?
I haven't tried them.
Would you like to do a tastest?
I'll do a taste.
So, I'll give you the cleanest one.
I have washed it.
So ugly.
Let this be a little warning to everybody who's trying the same thing,
trying to grow your own food instead of buying it just to save some money.
Don't bother.
Don't bother.
It's going to take you months.
a month and months to grow this stuff,
but it's going to leave you very disappointed.
It actually is.
You know that nub when you get to the end?
If you're eating a carrot, you leave that little nub,
that's all they've given us.
Okay, bottoms up.
Cheers.
Okay, cheers, mate.
Cheers, cheers, cheers, cheers.
Okay, here we go.
It's awful.
That's terrible.
It's kind of like not ready.
Guys, don't grow food.
Go to your wheels or something, honestly.
A waste of money.
Seriously, biggest waste of time.
Stupid stiff.
I feel sick.
I know, same.
I'm going to bath.
Yuck.
Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
I went to the optometrist today, Steph.
I'm going to get some new glasses.
Okay, hold on.
What do you say when someone says this?
Congrats?
Well, I was actually waiting for you to make a joke about
because you said the other day
when I take my glasses off.
Yeah.
I'll take my glasses off for you.
Oh, God, for the loving, put them back on.
Yeah.
I'm joking.
Oh my God.
Yeah, that's the reaction.
I took my glasses off the other day.
Because I've worn glasses for a decade,
as long as I've worn.
worked at the edge.
And now I take my glasses off, everyone goes,
put your glasses.
You know my fiancΓ©, this is awful.
My fiance said the love of my life.
She's agreed to marry me.
I said to her, this is a true story.
I was like, I'm going to get LASIC surgery.
She goes, oh, I like the way your glasses look.
I was like, yeah, but I want to be able to see.
And not have to wear plastic on my face.
No, no, she's reassuring you that you look great just the way you are.
You don't have to change your thing.
Oh, no, she's not.
She's saying I look hotter with glasses, which is such a trap to fall into.
Hold on.
Let's see.
Just try it one more time.
Just take them off.
Okay, promise you won't overreact.
I promise I'll be genuine in my reaction.
Oh my look!
Okay, they're back on. Don't worry about it.
Anyway.
They're back on.
Went to the optometrist.
Have you ever been to the optometrist?
No, actually.
I mean, I hate to bring this up to someone who wears glasses, but I do have 20-20 vision.
I could be a pilot.
I could be a pilot.
2020, do you?
Yeah.
Well, I've got a disability.
Okay.
It's very able to make fun of it.
Apologies.
I could get a tag that goes in my car.
Do you?
So I should.
No, sure.
I should.
Stop it.
So I can park outside the supermarket.
What happened today?
You need new glasses.
Yeah.
Well, I need to go actually every year I have to go and get a test because my eyes get worse.
Oh, bless.
Yeah.
So I go to have a thing.
And if you've never had an optometrist test, let me talk you through it.
So basically what you do is you go into this room.
They do a bunch of tests in your eyes.
You have to look into this thing and they puff a little bit of ear into it.
That's confronting.
Oh, yuck.
You won't feel anything.
It goes, oh, God.
That close in your eye.
It feels like someone's like.
Why do they do that?
I don't know.
They have to test your reaction or something.
Oh, okay.
And then you go up to this other machine
and this is where they try
to see what kind of lenses you need
So they put a big machine on you
and you look at the, and it's like the classic thing
we look at the letters. Oh yeah.
And you go to look through the letters and they go, okay,
do they look clearer?
And one or two.
One.
Or two.
And this is what happens.
And then they go, three.
Or four.
Okay.
How long does this last?
Or three?
It does sound kind of fun, not going to lie.
Awful.
So it takes me a long time because they're so subtle, right?
And you're trying to look at a letter that's so far away.
And it's all a little bit blurry because you can't see.
And then they go, it's one bit or two better.
And once you've gone back and forth five times,
you can't ask to see them again because you feel like you're being rude
and you're taking this person's time.
So I and my totometry, and this has always happened for me.
I get anxiety and it will be like one or two, one or two, one or two.
And once I've asked four times, it's like asking someone to repeat themselves.
Yeah, no, there's definitely a limit.
There's a limit on how often you can do it.
And so I just go,
two.
Really?
And they go, yep, great.
And then they put that in.
But you don't want to get it wrong because if you get the wrong prescription.
I know.
And I think I get it wrong.
I think I've got the wrong glasses.
And I think I got the wrong ones today because I swear to you,
they did this eight different times.
I swear four of them I couldn't tell the difference.
And I just committed it.
I was just like, one.
This is where like people pleasing just needs to be left at the door when you
walk in.
Because this is your glasses for the next year, right?
You can't get it wrong.
I know.
You can't relate to me.
You can't relate to me.
I thought I'd actually put you through a scenario where we're going to do a vision test for you.
Producer Nurse Sam, bring in Sean's vision test for Steph.
You've never experienced this.
I don't have the clicker for you, but I do have, I've printed out some words.
I'm going to put it up on the wall there, and we'll see if you do have 2020 vision.
You've been bragging about it a lot.
Do you want to read out that first line there for me, Steph?
These are all full words, so you don't need to read them out letter by letter.
You just read out.
I can barely read that.
It's a long way away.
Oh, I can read it?
All right.
Can you really?
These glasses absolutely don't work.
All right.
Line number one, the big one for me, please.
Okay. The first line is very easy to read.
Great. Oh, I made of that.
Bobs.
Yep. Great.
Very inappropriate.
Well, no. They use, no. When you go to that optometrist, they use those because the bees and O's, they look similar.
Okay.
That's a way to trick you. Second line there, please, Steph.
The second line is slightly smaller than the first, but I can still read it. It says jugs.
Jugs, yep. So they use that as well for the way the G and the S look together.
They look quite similar.
Third line, if it's okay, please, Steph.
Okay. I can make out the third line.
pretty easy as well. It's slightly smaller, but it says
melons. Yeah.
That it does. And the final line there, Steph, that's okay.
It's very small.
Yeah, it is. But I think
Mr Optometrist, does it say
Tatas?
It does. Okay.
Even though that's, Steph, great job. You do have 20-20 vision.
I know I could be a pilot.
I do.
Your Arvos, hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Man, I feel so sorry for all these people who have to reset their driving test.
Did you hear this?
That came out yesterday, Steph.
Oh, yes, in Auckland, eh?
Yeah.
This is crazy.
Five vehicle testing officers at one VTNZ in Auckland in Highbrook.
Five different officers.
Five of them have been found to all of accepted cash bribes
in return for passing people on their practical driving tests, so restricted in full.
And it's said to have gone back as far as 2013.
And as a result, 322 people who obtained licences in the last two years from these people.
are having to go and reset their practical driving test
to confirm their competence
because they can't prove it and bribe these guys.
This sounds so crazy to me.
And I really hope these drivers have some serious consequences, genuinely,
because driving behind a car is such a...
in a car behind the wheel is such a massive responsibility.
You're not only in charge of your life
and the people that are in your car's lives driving,
but everyone else on the road around you.
And if there are people getting passed through bribery
and they're not actually fit to be in charge of a car
and have those responsibilities, it's so dangerous.
Yeah, but sometimes you sit the test
and they fail you for a kind of BS reason.
And that happened to me, twice on my restricted,
and I would have, because it costs about 100 to reset anyway,
if I could just slide that 100 to the instructor and just get past,
I would have done it.
That's crazy.
I'd be honest with you.
I would have done it.
That's crazy.
I didn't realize it was an option.
so I didn't do it, but now that I know it's an option, I probably would do it.
There's so many people, over 300 people?
Bride, drive it?
No, no, no, no.
320 people have to reset them, reset the test because those are the people who have been tested
since the bribes happened.
So they can't confirm who bribed and who didn't.
Okay, okay.
They just know they've accepted some bribes, so everyone has to redo it.
It's like if you found out one person in your class cheated on a test, everyone has to redo the test.
It's rubbish.
Oh, you'd be livid.
You'd have to learn the Blumen Road Code again, which let's be.
honest. No one remembers how much
tread on a tyre that you need, right?
Yeah, that's true. That's hard.
Imagine some people would have got their full in 2023
and now have to go and reset it. That's insane.
So, we want to open up the phone lines on 0800
the edge or text to 3343
with your
Driving, driving, driving, driving, test stories.
Your driving test stories.
Step right up, Al-Teroa.
We want to hear from the people that have failed
the most amount of times.
We want to hear from the people who witness
something really strange or
kind of crazy during your driving test.
We want to hear those stories of
kind of odd interactions
maybe with the driver that testing
instructor that you had. Driving test
instructors, I mean, I'm speaking to myself here.
The two that I've had
were both very odd individuals.
Very serious.
Very serious. As they should be though. This is a big
responsibility. That's a good point. And I'm the kind of person
who I, like, medically,
can't not make a joke about something.
I physically can't do it.
I'd never be a good police officer.
I can't not try and lighten the tension by making jokes.
So I did that my entire test.
And this guy was not having a bar of it.
Of course not.
I think he failed me for this time
because I was just like, wouldn't shut up.
Yeah, you're the chump that's trying to giggle through his test.
Take it more seriously.
I know. I know.
So I'll wait 100 of the edges on number.
3343, text us.
Any driving test related story that you've got.
And our favourite story will win a double pass to the move.
to go and see our Massey movie, which is called him.
Who took them, who took ten times the pass?
Yeah.
Who offered their driving tests instructor a bribe?
Who has to reset it?
Because they were one of these people who went to Highbrook and did their tests and actually
now has to reset it.
I wonder if anyone would confuse to that.
Moravos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
This is insane some of these texting calls that are coming through.
The story is, if you didn't hear this, yesterday it came out that a VTNZ in Auckland,
five different testing officers have been investigated for accepting cash bribes
in return for people passing their practical driving tests restricted in full.
It's been going back as far as 2023 apparently,
and as a result, over 300 people have to reset their license test
because they can't tell whether or not those people bribed them or not.
So we're asking you, 0,800 at the edge for driving, driving, driving test stories.
We have to start with this anonymous text to 33433.
I set my restricted at Highbrook, which is this place, right?
That's the VTNZ in Auckland that's been doing it, yeah.
And they have definitely been accepting bribes way longer than you guys say.
Okay, are we allowed to read this?
Yeah, someone's texted in.
I've failed my restricted test three times.
And on the fourth time, the instructor was looking at me like I had failed
and then looked at my chest.
So I popped out a nip and off I went with my.
my owl plate's gone.
What the actual heck.
What I'm saying.
Should he have passed her for that?
No.
People do it to get into a nightclub, you know?
If she's going to, you know, she's the one who did it to him.
She popped it out.
That's the, that's a crazy driving test story.
In this whole story, there is nothing about people accepting, um,
bribes of boob flashing.
No.
It's all monthly.
to break in some news right now.
It is breaking news.
Okay, let's move on.
Thank you, Anonymous Textor.
I don't reckon I'd pass a driving test showing someone on my nip.
I think they'd be like, put it away.
It could really go either way.
It's a great thing to do.
Someone else goes, I drove over a roundabout,
and the instructor at the place I sat my test said,
Monster Truck, and I still passed.
That's insane.
They've shouted out the exact VTNZ editors.
We're not going to say that.
I don't read that one.
Someone else, I did my driver's test in Auckland and the instructor told me that she should not have passed to me, but she did anyway.
And now I'm a police officer.
Thanks.
They're getting some great.
I know how I feel about that.
Okay, let's talk to Jordan and Hamilton on 0800 the edge.
Jordan, you had, it wasn't your driving test, but it was a defensive driving test, like not the official one?
Yeah.
It was actually my friend's story, but it happened really recently.
Okay, go ahead.
What happened?
So the guy who was pretty tall, she says he was about like 6'5,
and he was really fat, and not to be rude,
but when she sat in the car, luckily her handbrake was already down
because he was so fat, his body covered the handbrake,
and she couldn't use it, and she was scared she would fail.
because the handbrake was completely covered by his...
Oh, my God.
Oh, but this is the driving design truck.
I don't think you should be able to do that job if you're that big.
I mean, if any part of you is, like, touching equipment that the driver needs to use.
If you need to get two aeroplane seats, you probably shouldn't be a driving instructor.
I don't want to go offending people, Sean.
Like, that's, you know.
It's not offending people.
That's safety.
If, as you said, the guy's literally covering up the handbrake and she can't use...
it, then I do think you probably shouldn't be in that profession.
Well, I mean, you know, maybe...
You disagree?
Shall we move on?
You think that should be in the profession?
I think people can do whatever profession they want regardless, but just...
Feels very unsafe.
Well, yeah, but just like, yeah, but just be more socially aware of the situation, maybe.
Socially, if you can't use the handbrake because they're too fat, they shouldn't do the job.
Peace and you go on that.
Am I not allowed to say that?
Shall we move on?
I actually don't know if you can say that.
Okay.
I stand by it.
Should we move on?
Sure.
Should we move on?
We can go to, there's so many people waiting, but we've just run out of time.
I'll go one more.
Okay, let's go.
Erin and Dunedin.
What was your driving test story?
Hi.
So, my driving test story is basically I got the guy that was like notorious for failing people.
And we were sitting at a roundabout.
and the person that I meant to give way to wasn't going
and they were a learner
and so I was like
like waving them to go and they weren't going
so I went and then I got an instant fail
he failed me instantly
you were just being courteous who were just like go ahead
and they didn't go you got to go
you know what you don't need some more polite drivers like you Erin
I'm gutted that you failed
sounds like this guy's just got a be in his bono to be honest
there's always one of those eh everyone knows when you go for the drive
and just oh I got that guy
Oh, that guy.
And that's the guy you bride.
And then he gets done for him.
You show him your nipple.
Oh, yeah.
Your Arvos, hit harder.
With Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
And I wish my life was a bunch of sunflowers right now, Steph, but it is not.
I feel for you, Sean, I really do.
So, Sean's a big tea drinker, and he's gone and bought some expensive tea.
And someone's been stealing the expensive tea bags and stopping them out for the cheap stuff from the office kitchen.
Yeah, I've been listening this week.
We've gone through a lot of culprits.
Most recently, we've been led to believe that Clint Randall might be responsible from the Edge Breakfast.
So we're going to call him right now.
He's on holiday.
See what he has to say for himself.
Hello.
Clint Randall.
Steph and Sean here.
Hello, Sean.
How are you?
I know that voice, mate.
I'm bloody good.
Hi, Clint.
And I think, Sean, you should refer to me as my full title, which is Deputy Sheriff, Steph.
Deputy Sheriff, Seth.
Sorry, Clint, sorry for the, now that we've got the pleasantries out of the way, mate.
There is an investigation that's undergoing of which you are a key suspect.
The case of the missing Yorkshire tea bags.
I have a jar of Yorkshire tea bags in my cubby at work.
Not only have about 50 of them gone missing, but they've been replaced, Clint.
Replaced with cheap breakroom tea.
Now, in this investigation, we've talked to your co-host, Ash London.
We've talked to your producers.
Most recently, Carl, who gave us this scoop, not 24 hours ago.
Oh, top of the suspect.
Do you know who's got a really big tea bag
and that's Clint Randall?
That guy has got a monster on him.
Do you think he's confused about the question?
Yeah.
Do you know what's talking about, Carl?
Actual tea bags.
Tea bags?
Yeah, tea bags.
I've got a jar of Yorkshire tea bags in my cubby car and they're gone missing.
Yeah, so you reckon Clint.
Oh, yeah, I reckon Clint.
I'd still go Clint.
He loves a tea bag.
Guys, no one wants a massive tea bag.
Okay?
That is true.
That is absolutely true.
No, that's got me confused.
And my one defense would be,
unless they are alcoholic tea bags,
it wouldn't be me, Sean.
It's true.
It's true.
I don't, I've even known you as a tea guy either.
Which is why I was able to roll you off.
Yeah.
I've never seen you drink tea.
Okay, Clint, this is the strangest behavior of all time.
Someone is doing this, legit.
Someone is taking Sean's tea bags and stopping them out for cheaper ones.
Who could it be?
You've been around here at the edge for so long now.
You know the ins and outs.
You know everybody.
You know people that we don't know.
Who could this be?
I mean, are we more interested in finding out who did it?
Or does Sean just want me to buy him some new tea bags?
Because I could do that.
No, we know you're rich, Clint.
We don't.
It's not about the tea bags.
Incredibly condescending.
It's not about the money.
Right.
It's a little bit about the money, but it's about the principle.
Can I just say one time Clint overheard me talking on here
about how the fact that I've only got.
got one bra and then literally he was like contemplating buying me bras.
And then he's like, maybe that's inappropriate, which you know, it was.
Okay.
So we can't throw money at this problem.
No.
No.
No.
Unless you were to hire a PI to help us with the investigation.
Okay.
Okay.
The only person, actually, it probably is this person.
The only person I know that after he's had a, I don't know, he's had some, he's talked about this
before a little bit of fun time in the evening with his wife,
he will, I don't know if he celebrates,
or he just partakes in a bit of a tea before he goes to bed.
Is Daniel Webber?
Damn.
He drinks tea.
I've heard him say.
He will have like a tea after the act as a way to calm himself down
before he goes to sleep.
Okay.
More information than we need,
but he is the one suspect from the Edge Breakfast show that we've overlooked.
Everyone else is saying they don't drink tea.
So Dan actually drinks the stuff.
Why didn't we strip it back to that at the start?
I don't know.
Who actually drinks tea?
Instead of going through who's most likely to steal things, of which Carl was top of the list,
who's actually likely to drink tea?
Dan, it's Dan.
Of course it's Dan.
Clint, thank you for our new lead.
Oh, you're welcome.
The only thing I've drunk today is three coronas,
and I'm halfway through a maker's mark in Coke, so I can get back to that.
Enjoy your holiday, man.
Yeah, you're going to be hung over tomorrow morning on the edge breakfast,
but it's worth it.
Cheers!
See you guys.
All right, see her, mate.
Bye, Clint.
I actually don't know if we can take a word he says.
He sounded steamed at the end of that.
It's a lead.
It's a lead we must chase on the show tomorrow.
Damn, of course it was Dan.
It was right in front of her.
Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Prize up for grabs for whoever has the looser story about Stan Walker.
Stand Walker!
Now when I say loose, explain what I mean.
Well, just any yarn that involves Stan Walker.
We love him.
He's an icon here in Ontario,
and the theory is everyone's kind of got
someone who knows someone that saw him one time doing a thing.
They're the type of stories that we're looking for,
and we're going to pick our favourite for a prize.
I think we've had hundreds of them,
and every time it shocks me,
like Harrison's uncle said he saw Stan Walker shaving his legs into a public pool.
I know.
It's beautiful.
Incredible.
Incredible.
So 0800 the Edge is our phone number.
We want to hear from you.
If you've got any kind of Stan Walker yarn,
Let's start with Logan from Topor first.
Welcome, Logan.
Hello, hello.
Logan, what is your degree of separation to the great Stan Walker?
So I used to work with a guy a couple years back.
His wife used to date Stan Walker.
Okay.
That's pretty close.
This is great.
So, Logan, you worked with the guy years ago.
His wife used to.
Wife used to date Stan Walker.
This is fantastic.
This is what?
dreams are made of. Can we get more info? Logan, how long did the woman and Stan date for?
I'm not too sure, to be honest. This is a few years back. She's also a radio host, but I won't name
the radio because we don't do that here at the edge. Oh, hey-or! You're right, we don't name
the other station because they don't exist. The edge is the only radio station in New Zealand,
and thank you for acknowledging that, Logan. Thank you, Lange. Appreciate it. Let's go to Rose and
Auckland, Rose, what's your Stan
story?
Oh, hi there.
Actually, my mum and Stan Walker
were good friends back in school
in Australia.
And one day she messaged me on Facebook like,
oh, I know your mom, blah, blah, blah.
I was like, who is this lady?
To my mom, she's like, oh, that's Stan Walker's mother.
I was like, oh, wow.
And then she told me how they knew each other.
Oh, wow.
Okay, so, sorry, I thought you said your mom
went to school with Stan Walker,
but no, your mom went to school with Stan Walker's mom.
Yeah.
even better. That's so cool. And then like reaching out on Facebook? Yeah and it was really
random as well and another time his father had messaged me or his late father sadly
had messaged me happy birthday hope you and the family are doing well and then I was like what the
heck? That's awesome. Yeah it was so random but then my mom explained like how she knew them and stuff
like that you're like mom how did you not tell me that your family friends would Stan Walker's family
Like, this is amazing.
It's great yarn.
Perfect for degrees of separation.
Not once has she met Stan Walker, but no, it's not what we're after.
It truly is.
Naomi from Christchall, final Stan Walker's story.
What have you got?
Hi, so I saw him at a concert.
I think my friend's parents' company had put it on and, like, hide him to do it.
I was about 12 at the time, so just about the end of primary or intermediate.
But when he was signing things, he signed my chest.
But I was only like 12.
I was real excited that my family were like, ooh.
Oh, God.
No me.
All right.
Poor thoughts, process.
Stan Walker signed a 12-year-old's chest.
What part?
The high, really high, the collarbone.
Let's go collarbone, eh?
Okay, he signed Naomi's collarbone.
Oh, that happens.
That's fun.
Here we go.
I'm totally above board.
Our three callers.
We've got Logan, whose connection to Stan Walker,
was an ex-colleg of his wife.
was Stan Walker's ex.
It's a good story.
We've got Rose in Auckland
whose mums went to school together in Aussie.
Years later, she reached out to Rose on Facebook.
I think that's cute.
And Nomi, who saw Stan Walker perform in...
We don't do a recap, though.
It's been no bored.
With the homie.
I'm gonna go collarbone.
Well, Sean.
I'd like to vote for Rose.
I think it's great story.
Rose, congratulations.
Shot Rose.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean,
Steph and Harrison.
The Edge. Thursday, we are doing a 24-hour interview marathon.
It's all powered by Baraka who are going to help us get through the whole thing.
But for 24 hours straight, we're going to be live on TikTok, the EdgeNZ TikTok,
just interviewing people nonstop, like 500 interview guests.
Yeah, live on Rover as well, the edge.orga.comer.
It's going to be a bit chaotic.
I think we're going to lose our marbles a little bit, especially in the early hours of the morning.
But it is all thanks to Barocca, and we're very excited for it.
to prep right now
because there's going to be a lot of interviews
I think there's upwards of 400 interviews
they've got lined up with some big names as well
Jojo Siwa
Yeah I'm excited to chat to her
Stop
Let's do a bit of prep right now Sean
I'm going to hit you with three different
Interviewees
That could be appearing on the live stream
A bit of a blurb about them
Yeah
No specifics just just random kind of characters
And you have to be that character
and I'm going to interview you.
Great.
So this gives you a chance to just on the moment,
fire off interview questions, practice.
We're not going to obviously have a chance
to prep all these interviews.
Too many of them.
Yeah.
All right.
It's two in the morning.
We're doing this interview live on TikTok, delirious.
All right, next guest walks in and they are.
Yeah, Sean, you are an aspiring rapper,
but you haven't quite realized yet
that you're not very good at it.
Okay.
Welcome to the live stream.
What's up, guys.
It's a pleasure that you're here.
Thanks.
It's glad to be here.
Let's be fair.
It's no chocolate eclere.
I love a chocolate declare.
So tell us about your rapping music endeavors.
You know, I've loved rapping ever since you were in nappies.
I've been a wrappies.
I've been rapies since you were in nappies.
Yeah.
That's coming down on my next single, which is called Silver Digger.
And it's a dig it at Kanye.
Okay.
I'm saying gold digger.
Okay, insane.
Okay, the next person that you're going to be is a birdwatcher.
You carry binoculars at all times, but sometimes it's a different kind of bird that you're watching.
Welcome to the 24-hour interview, Birdwatcher man.
Oh, hello.
So nice to be here.
Tell me about your favorite birds that you like watching.
Oh, I just stare at them for hours.
I like watching the yellow breasted gull.
It's one of my favorites.
I love the blue-titted bill.
And I love the curvy woman who lives three doors down.
Okay.
I watch her through the window.
Stop.
Okay, your next character is you are a male model who's really desperate for more likes on Instagram.
Oh my God, I was born to play this character.
Well, yeah, what character?
Welcome to the show male model.
Hello.
Tell me about being a male model.
What's it like?
Oh, it's hard because it's all Instagram and TikTok nowadays.
Follow me on TikTok and only fans.
I just start on OnlyFans as well.
Oh, my God.
Amazing.
what kind of things are you doing over there?
Well, I'll do kind of anything if you pay enough money.
But the problem with only fans is, it's great when you can go,
look how many people are viewing it.
And look how many people are paying me money.
But if they're not, then you're really just doing the kind of niche things that I'm doing on there,
but not a lot of gratification.
So if you could get over there and give me a like.
Okay, Malmodel, thank you so much for joining us.
And, oh, it's the Birdwatcher again.
He's back.
Oh, hello.
Been watching you on TikTok.
I don't know why he's got an accent.
I don't know where he's from.
He's quite breathy.
Yeah.
Next Thursday, it's all going down.
Yeah, I'm excited for that.
24-hour interview marathon.
Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
So Sean comes to me and he's like, Steph,
I just got the best purchase from Trade Me,
or was it, Facebook Marketplace?
Trade Me, I don't deal with Marketplace anymore.
People are animals.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaking of animals.
So I've got the best purchase from Trade Me.
I've got Goat Cheers.
And I'm like...
Yeah, goat chairs.
I'm like, what?
The greatest of all time chairs.
How does a chair...
All the images kind of flashed around.
I'm like, is it a throne?
That's the greatest chair of all time.
But then he's like, no.
A lazy boy?
Literal goat chairs.
Made of goat.
Yeah, so this is a thing.
My fiance at the moment is she calls it nesting,
which is a 28-year-old woman's excuse for spending a lot of money on homeware stuff
that we really need.
Nesting is like a term for something else as well.
Oh, no, she's so clucky.
Is it?
Yeah.
Is this your way of breaking big news?
Oh, she'd have kids now if I let her.
Oh, my gosh.
She's just like, I'm getting a house ready.
We live in an apartment.
Yeah.
We don't own a property.
We're so far from having kids.
Yeah.
But this is an excuse.
You can.
I won't be.
Okay.
But you can.
So this isn't your way of breaking big news.
Oh, no.
Oh, hell no.
What a niche way to do it.
Yeah, true.
You're spending...
By the way, kids on the way.
Way too much money on goats.
Oh, how good would that be, though?
Speaking of goats?
kit on the way
Oh, that would have been
Anyway, really good bit, no
Not true, not true
So she's gone and got, Sean, I've got these great,
I want to get some new chairs for this spare room
And it's like, great, she goes, I've bought these chairs
They're made of goats
So goat hide, right?
Yeah, instead of...
For outside of a goat.
Yes.
On a chair.
Fur, yep.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like a big piece of goat.
Yeah.
And so we go and get these chairs.
And they're quite nice.
Like, they're a good deal.
She brought them for,
quite cheap. I think they're worth a lot of money.
You know, when you get a deal on trade and you're like,
oh, they're kind of cool and then you Google how much it really is.
Yeah. Like these chairs, we've got two of them
for $200.
Each or together? Together. Oh, wow. Okay.
Which I was like, that's not bad. The two arm chairs,
100 bucks a pop. Yeah.
And then we googled it and these are like $2,000
chairs made of real goat hide.
And so we go and pick them up from this guy.
And it's a little, it's quite goatey.
Like it, you sit down on it.
It's one of them that really mumps. You come off and you got all this
goat fur on you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I've got these goat chairs
and now I'm like, that's just that.
So every time you sit on your goat chair,
you get like a hairy bum.
Yeah, yeah.
And then Gene's like, we'll just put a throw on it.
And I'm like, well.
What's the point in having it?
Put a throw on the goat.
This goat died so that we can sit on its lovely
fluff and we're not even going to do it because it's
molting.
You need a lint roller
at all times next to the goat chairs so you can
like roll the fur off you.
Oh, sorry I'm going to be late to your dinner tonight, Steph.
I'm just going to dog brush my goat chairs.
Yeah, you might have to physically brush them
to get all the excess fur out.
That's revolting.
Why don't you get rid of the goat chairs?
Well, they're worth a lot of money.
I know, but you can make money if you're selling or more.
You don't need goat chairs in your life.
You can have just normal chairs or just no chairs.
Why don't you prep the baby's room?
No, that's what Jeannie wants.
Let her have the goat chairs.
Because as long as the goat chairs are in there,
she can't put like a cot in there or anything.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, the goat chairs are fine for now.
For now.
But she has weirdly set a spare room like a podcast studio.
That's what it looks like.
I was like, why don't we put a couch in there?
She's like, no, we'll put two chairs and a table in between and a mirror and like a neon light.
I was like, this is the set of Call Her Daddy.
What is going on here?
Anyway, keep you updated on that.
Maybe it'll be a podcast about prepping for a baby.
I bet that's what she wants to do.
And shout out to the greatest chairs of all time, the goat chairs.
Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, welcome to the podcast, outro.
I hope you enjoyed.
The podcast, there's a clip that I've seen online at the moment, Steph,
and I thought you might be interested in this.
Actually, Harrison would really be interested in it, but he's not here today.
So I'm going to show it to you.
Okay, is it a video?
Yeah, it's a video.
Don't you hate it when friends are like, hey, here's a funny video?
You have to like endure the minutes-long video.
And you're like, at the end you're like, yeah.
Do you read the caption of that and see if it's not going to interest you?
Okay, all right.
So I'm looking at the video.
Man breaks.
Oh, I was going to bring this up too.
Shut up.
That's all you were going to bring.
No, no, no, like, but at a different time.
But I saw this as well.
Man Break's Guinness World Record with 40-second fart blast.
We have to hear it.
So this is on America's Got Talent.
It's not on America's Got Talent.
It's on, it's on God Talent show.
It's not.
Oh, okay, it's not America's Got Talent.
But it's one of the Got Talent shows.
This is insane that it was broadcast on a talent show.
So he's like on stage with a mic.
He's lifting his leg into a specific area.
He's throwing edit, short, sneakers, athletes still up.
How, like, sore must his stomach have been before, though?
He's spreading his butt-cheats.
He's balancing very well.
I think he's got it perfectly, so he's just leading a little bit of ear out at a time.
What show was this on?
This is insane that this was on a talent show, like a singing or...
When you watch videos like that and then you see who it's liked by,
it's like three of my friends have liked this.
Yeah, I send it to do.
Jake last night.
This is a crack-up.
I reckon I could be in with a running
on some of the...
40 seconds, Steph.
Yeah, that's long.
40 seconds.
I reckon the longest I've ever done
is like 12.
No.
No, truly.
No, think about how long a three-second fart is.
One,
should we call Jake an ask.
Three, like...
So I've been with Jake 14 years.
He's seen me fart a lot.
So let's just see
if he reckons I've ever done a 12-second one.
Because I
I reckon, like, maybe yeah.
I reckon it's like I've done a long one.
Two, three, three, or maybe more like ten.
Five.
Even five seconds would be amazing.
He's not answering.
Argentina's got talent.
I can't believe that was on a talent show.
That's insane.
Well, it's like those Got Talent shows are in like their second decade of being on.
What else are you going to do?
It's crazy.
I'll message him.
How long do you.
think is my longest time farting.
Man, the love is really dead in your relationship.
Oh, no.
You can't text your partner.
Why?
How do you think my longest time farting is?
Like, one fart.
Jenny doesn't fart.
Everyone farts.
No, Jeannie doesn't.
She doesn't go number twos either.
I genuinely think I've got a lactose problem.
I do thought a lot.
But I have a lot of milk and dairy and jeez.
Yeah, and I think you've got a lactose problem in terms of you consume an abnormal amount
of lactose.
I think if you just ate the normal amount of lactose,
you'd probably be fine.
You can't drink literally half a bottle of milk a day
and then go, I think of a little lactose problem.
I think, I genuinely think I'm allergic to cheese.
Is that a thing?
Yeah, that's a thing.
Yeah, I think I have that.
Why?
Because whenever I eat cheese, I get a really sore belly.
Oh, that's not good.
And also when I'm socialising, I get, like, social IBS.
I think that's probably a thing.
Yeah.
Stress.
Yeah.
So, the thing I was going to bring up is,
while we're waiting for my fiancΓ© to tell me how long,
my farthest,
longest ever fart is,
was.
The farthest long.
I think my dog
is in love with me.
Oh, okay.
Like in a sexy way.
Whoa.
So this is my even if it's.
Not the angle I thought this would take.
Obviously it's not reciprocated.
You think your dog is romantically
interested in you?
So listen to what happened last night.
So his name's Larry.
He sleeps in our,
he starts on our bed and then he gets too hot
and then he goes to the floor.
So you really?
He starts on the bed.
He sleeps in bed with you every night?
Yeah.
It's a giant dog.
Yeah, well, we've got a giant bed.
Does Jake like that?
Yeah.
Okay, right.
I got there like bestie.
Does he get stinky?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't want to come into my room.
Oh, okay.
I do try and keep on top of it, but let's be real.
So it's a golden retriever.
Anyway, I am revolting.
This podcast, our show is horrific.
It's doing me no good.
Anyway, so Larry's taken himself to bed a little bit earlier before me and Jake.
And so by the time I walk into the room, he is sound asleep.
but it looks like
That's so cute though
That takes himself to bed
It just climbs up on your bed
It looks like he's had a bit of fun
Before I get there
Because
Oh for fuck so
It's horrific
So on the bed
Is a whole bunch of like
On like Jake side
There's a bunch of clean washing
That needs to be put away
But also more towards my side
And at the bottom of the bed
Is
some old
dirty like
Activeware that I wore
Yesterday morning
that I've just like thrown there and it's still there.
This goes where I think it's going.
This is disgusting.
So I walk into the bedroom and I'm like, oh, there's washing your brew.
So I move the clean stuff to the floor, great.
And then I go to pick up the dirty stuff.
And I pick up my undies that I wore working out yesterday.
Soaking wet.
Like soaking wet.
And I'm like, well, they can't, like the thought races through me.
Like, how are they so wet?
It wasn't raining yesterday.
Nothing else is wet here?
Like, what is going on?
And then it dawned on me, Larry's asleep right there, right next to the very soggy undies.
He must have been licking them for ages to the point where they're like so weird.
So I think he's in love with me.
Oh, my God.
I know.
I was disgusted too.
I think you're right that that was what happened.
I think you're wrong during a correlation between that
and your dog being in love with you
and maybe drawing a correlation between that
and you having maybe like a shoe downstairs
where it comes to scent
and things that the dog's picking up on.
It's just undies that I wore to bed
and then to work out in the morning.
And he's gone, this sounds like a meal.
It smells like a dead animal.
It's gone so hard.
To my undies.
Oh, that's yuck.
To be honest, that's not actually what I thought was going to happen.
I thought it's going to be worse than that.
So someone needs to have a word with him and explain that I'm his mother.
And he can't be licking my underlies like that.
It's incredible.
Okay, well, let's keep tabs on that.
Good idea.
I'll let you know tonight.
Yeah.
There's an animal psychologist or something you can go to.
What's he like?
Is he a humper?
No, he doesn't hump.
Oh, that's good.
He just licks a lot.
Okay, well.
Someone would like that.
