This is a podcast from Rover. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Broadcasting live from the Mighty Hawks Bay, taking Harrison back to where it all started, bringing the cordon blur from Subway, straight to you, legends in Hawks Bay. So Harrison's back here, the hometown heroes.

Yeah. A cordon blur, Harrison Keith. And what we've learnt from me and Steph coming to the Hawks Bay with yourself, Harrison, and behind the scenes, one of the persons with us as well. Intern Lil Lil, who joins us on the mic right now. You guys are both, we thought you were both in the same place.

I don't know. Did you think they were from the same place there? Well, yeah, because, I mean, Hawks Bay locals, Lily from Napier and Harrison from Hastings. Thank you. One in the same, I would have thought. There's a beef. You have to tell me about the beef because I don't understand why there's beef.

I think to anyone outside of Hawks Bay, I go, yes, I'm from the same place as Harrison. fair and square, like that's okay. But when it comes to people from Napier and Hastings, it's on. Yeah, I think what I think is, I think it stems from, I'm from Hawks Bay. Oh, Napier? The place that Napier is is Hawks Bay.

Like, no, Hastings. Hastings' slogan is it's called the heart of Hawks Bay. Napier's, get what the Napier's is, the Art Deco Capital. Cool, eh? Beautiful architect. That she sounds really lovely. So we're known worldwide, Napier. Do I want to be known as the 19th,

this is what's been happening. This is what we're happening. Me and Steph didn't realize. It's a real New Zealand-Australia thing, except they're like the same size. But it's like when you go overseas and someone's like, are you from Australia and you feel that offended? I now realize that's how Harrison and Lily feel when you say they're from the other place.

Okay, guys. So what if you meet someone and they're like, hey, I'm from the Hawks Bay. My name's Steph. And you're like, oh, what part of Hawks Bay? And I'm like, have lock. Oh, I go, oh, nice. And now I back down because I'm not going to tell them where I'm from. Yeah.

Must be nice. straight away. So they're not even in a competition. That's when Napier and Hastings come together. And they go, oh. Yeah. There's a merger there against Havelock because there's money there. So, hi, I'm Steph and I'm from Hastings.

Yeah, legend. Nice to meet you. See, Lily, you're kind of looking at me like I'm beneath you. If I'm going somewhere in Hawke's Bay, I'm going to go to Havelock in the daytime for a nice little nibble. I'm not coming, like, why am I coming to Hastings? Oh, oh, Hastings. Like, there is literally nothing? What is there, Cool's Chips, BJ's bakery?

Is she right? Is she right? It's weird. Quickly, let's do this. Let's do this. Then quickly, 30 seconds. Harrison pitched to us Hastings, then Lily pitched to us Napier and men's therefore to decide which one we think

sounds best. Go Harrison. Hastings is the heart of Hawks Bay. It's heart of this country, actually. Backbone country is what we call it. Splash platoon's only water park is right here. Cool's chips. It is the best hot chips in the world.

You guys tried it today. We'll get the review later. BJs. We give out BJs here. Pies. Meat balls. It's a bakery. It's a bakery. It is the best place. It is for Fano, where it's the scenery, is for feeling the manner and pride of Hastings. Time. Lily, pitch to us Napier, please, in 30 seconds. Go.

We've got the museum. We've got the National Aquarium of New Zealand. We have got Oni-Carp pools. That's pretty cool as well. The Marine parade, a long walk, a nice, lovely beach, the SoundShart Shire where New Year's can be held. Fireworks, boom! We have beautiful tours around as well. Do you can get... Tours. We have a beautiful hill that is a lookout that you can actually walk out. Time. All right. I'm going to say, I think Havlock sounds the nicer. I agree. I would agree.

Havelock's got the front of. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. What's happened? There's a TV in the studio that plays tipping point. and they just didn't tip over. Tipping Point is so good. If you haven't seen Tipping Point,

it's one of the greatest game shows. You would have seen Tipping Point. If you're at home sick or you're at home with a young baby, you've definitely seen Tipping Point. It is, honestly, with how distracted we get, we can not have a TV playing Tipping Point.

I love the Hawks Bay. Can we please? We've just got to the Hawks Bay all the time. The reason we hear, by the way, is that Subway are bringing back one of their legends. The Cord-on Blur is back at Subway, but not for long as to order now in the Subway app. So we're bringing back one of our legends to Hawks Bay, Harrison, for the hometown takeover.

Harrison, you grew up here. Gilda. We went back to your high school actually this morning. Now, Steph, you didn't make it here because we'll talk about this later on, but our flights got cancelled last minute, and all three of us ended up on different flights. It took me in Harrison three to four hours to get here. He went via the South Island. Are you into Christchurch this morning?

So it was just up to me and Sean to go to my old high school. We literally rocked up to a high school in a van, opened the door, we popped out with food. So normally people say, don't go to people giving out free food and your schools. No, we went to them. We went into the school. In a van with quite tinted windows and free subway. Now Harrison went into his old music department and imagine the reaction. So so many kids here.

Harrison's coming back. A hometown hero. Listen to the reaction of these kids. Hello. Good. Whoa. Welcome to the year 12. Hi guys.

How's it going? Did not. Couldn't care less. Oh, Sean. That's me. He took away from it. Sean, I heard the excitement in that one very kind teacher's voice. He's a kind teacher. They were excited. They were very excited,

especially when the teacher then instantly hit Harrison up for something that he had said on the radio. Uh-oh. Recently about her. Not about not doing a lot in class. Did I name you? Apparently, she doesn't know you and she talked. To me. I did say that.

I did say that. The teacher that let you get away with doing nothing in class? Yeah. When you were already going to fail? Yeah. Said, probably shouldn't name her. Probably did. I'll be honest.

Sean, I thought there's going to be quite a fun reflective moment on the school. Sorry, sorry. There are some fun bits. There's two big rows from out the gate. Really fun bits. No one cared to see you and the teacher hated you. Oh. Well, it was fun.

Because it was a music class that we went to see. And you took music at school. Yes. And your instrument was... didn't have an instrument so they said let's all perform a song together and they decided to play creep

oh by um a creak radio head yeah by radio head and they said Harrison sing along Harrison juped over on the keys Kottamoo High School Southway town take of Harrison's here The legend is back Codon blur more like

Cordo and yeah because Harrison don't go to the photos I'm really happy to be here grateful for everybody spreading some chair want to come party hope because you guys really missed out this morning

I'm pretty cool It was the music class It was a fill of subject for me Really I don't know if you picked up on that Really And the kind teacher I won't name her again

But let me go to the class And sit out And you don't have to do anything You'll fail your test But you don't have to do anything You know and then yeah that's the result of it

but it was fun to go back and actually I'm not even joking I did music for probably like a year year 13 and that was the first instrument I ever touched in that room I'm not even joking so they were like go on this church

me like go on sing a song do an instrument he's a stage set up a stage for me yeah it didn't work wow and I want to say the kids were so excited to see Harrison I was like 1718 we're so excited to see Harrison I think he genuinely is a hometown hero They're all taking photos with them at the end of it.

Got their free subway. Yeah, it was cool. Like, I walked in and I was like, circle up. So I got in a semicircle. I got a chair and I sat on it backwards. Turned his hat backwards. I'm like, so I bet you wonder, what's my story, huh? I know that's got into it.

That's amazing. Yeah, it was awesome, man. It was awesome. Your Arvose Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Earlier today, we went to Harrison's old high school. We also went to the local subway where we handed out. 100 of the new cordon blur 6-inch subs, which are delicious.

But we got to meet a bunch of Hawks Bay characters through doing this. Oh, my God, we met the most amazing people on the earth. Yeah. Like, they were just some of our favorites that we've ever talked to. And we talked to a bunch of school kids whose school shall remain nameless. And especially this one person shall remain nameless, just because they told me about the end-of-year prank. Have you guys heard about the end-of-year school pranks that people do?

I found that when we did Karameh Old High School today. They were like, oh, it's our last week. Yeah. I forget school's finishing. School's finishing this week for a lot of students across Alteiroa. It is prank time. Pranks are on. It was tradition at my school that the seventh formers were the year 13s on their last day of school or a couple of days of school before the exam started and stuff would do some kind of prank.

Like there were goldfish put in the staff room's water cooler. Oh. there were plastic forks put all across our rugby field by the head boy in some of his mates at the time, stuck into the ground, stuck into the earth, pointing up. Oh, that's dangerous. I'm pretty sure he got expelled. Did he? For putting forks in the field. Yeah.

So we actually got a big talking to it at my school. We did a couple of things. We're this one history teacher that we really didn't like. And down the road from my school was this river. Like, no word of a lie, there's this river that you can just let your chickens go at. and there's just heaps of free-range chickens at this river. It's called Whitewater River. And there's just chickens.

You need your chickens go out. Yeah. So, like, if you've got an old chicken, you just, and you want to let it go. Oh, it's like a heaven river. Yeah. All these chickens just live around this river. Oh, they live? Oh, they live on the river.

Oh, they live on the water. No, no, you're not drowned the chicken. I thought you mean you take old chickens there to the... Oh, drown them. Yeah. Nah, you kind of don't want a chicken. You just take it there. And it's just no, there's just chickens there.

So anyway, we only got one and threw it in his offer. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So that's a good prank. And then another thing we did was they had a watercola in our teacher's staff room with all these little cups. So we filled them all to the point where they're almost at the brim and then lined the entire hallway outside their staff room with it. So they just couldn't get out. They had to individually pick the cups up one by one.

Yes, see, that's another great prank. So the high schooler that I talked to today here in Hastings, her and her mates are going to sneak into a teacher's house and sleep in. their lounge. So in the middle of the night or early in the morning when the teacher wakes up. When they said that, we had to be like, so what? And then what? And then boo, gotcha?

Like, it would be kind of crazy for the teacher to walk in and be like, oh, we God, what are you doing in my house? Is that weird? Yeah, it's kind of weird. A little bit, eh? But it's a good prank. Males hit you? I don't know.

I didn't ask. Not sure. I don't think so. You might wake up and go, am I dreaming? That's crazy. It's just not a prank. It's like, oh, we're going to break in, I mean, breaking into his house, for starters, like, massive law break. But then what do we get, I thought when she said, I was like, this is rogue, what are they going to do?

Are they going to, like, steal his fridge or, like, what's going to happen? Swap off all, like, the labels, like, are on his tins. Oh, great, great! Yeah, like, the peaches become baked beans and all that. Here's what we can do. We're sneak in, and we're just, and we're going to squat. We're just going to go to sleep. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like, that's not a... Yeah, you're halfway there. He doesn't even know you're there. It needs work. He's taken advantage, really, isn't it? The prank needed work. Yeah. Or as you know, the typical gladraper on the toilet prank, there's always that.

We would love to know on 0800 The Edge, what is or was your end-of-school prank? Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. And we're broadcasting live from the Hawks Bay today for Subways, hometown heroes. We met a lot of characters earlier today, including some students who had their final day of school this week. And we're telling us their epic prank that they were going to do on their teacher, which was what, Steph? Yeah, they're going to sneak into their teacher's house and sleep on their lounge floor.

So naughty. So naughty. So we're talking about end-of-year school pranks. It is, yeah, the end of school for a lot of students across Altaroa. And before we talk to your dad, Sean. Oh, he's got a great story. The thing he did is, like, insane. You'd get expelled for it.

I think his story wins. So we're going to have to wait for a Jeff story. But a few texts here on 3343, 3.3, Jess. We wrapped the entire staff room in tin foil. so it looked like a UFO. Nice. It's a massive waste of resources. This one's from Thai.

We snuck hundreds of rubber ducks into every toilet in the school, even the staffroom ones. Stuffed them into the toilets. No, like the yellow rubber duckies in the toilet. Yeah. That's quite good. I like that. I think that's quite cute. It's annoying to take out.

We're pissing and shitting all over them. This one's subtle, but effective, I think. This next one from Ellie. We changed every classroom clock time by 10 minutes. so the whole school's time was in chaos. I like that. It's the small ones for me that really make the biggest, the most annoying ones to fix.

And it's probably taken the school months to realize in cotton on. Yeah, what's going on? Like a technician to come fix the bell. Exactly. Oh, what's wrong with the bell? Like it's going over random times. Exactly. This one's a little bit crazy.

My partner on the senior prank day through hair removal at students. All students at all years, some of them resulting in skin burning. and losing all their hair on their head, he got suspended and almost had to shave his whole head off as a consequence. I don't reckon you should have read that one out. But he's instead he had to do community service for the school. Well, punishment first to crime.

Terrible. That's so scary. It's like acid attacks. Don't do that. No. Do the clock thing. Jeez. To the rubber duck thing.

Yeah. That's so dark. All right, let's talk to your dad, Sean. Are you here, Dad? Hi, Sean's dad. Hello. Here. Oh, hey, mate.

I had to call you because I've heard this story growing up, and I kind of didn't even believe it was true the first time I heard it. because it was so outrageous, and you'd definitely get expelled for doing this now. But was it a teacher that you guys didn't like? Yeah, yeah, we were at boarding school, and it was this evening. We had in the boarding, so I won't even mention the school, but we had this teacher that we didn't really like, but he was part of the boarding establishment too.

So we've got a group of us guys. I don't know how many guys, if we were six or eight, I don't know. But this guy had a Fiat Bambina car, and we had an old assembly hall, So it was the old assembly hall, not the new one. And it had a block of steps that went up and had these narrow doors. Anyway, we got around this guy's Fiat Bambina car. We found out where it was parked, and we picked it up and we carried it.

We carried it to the assembly hall, and we carried it up the stairs and through the doors, and we put it inside the assembly hall. I don't know how the hell he ever got it out, and I don't know. It was really funny at the time. We thought he would come looking for his car. He weren't going to find his car. do a mile panic and then he'll find it inside the assembly hall and I don't know what happened from there I never did ask I didn't want to know and um no one knew who did it wow that is a great

story that's a prank that's a story that you're like oh that that can't be true that's an old wives tale rumor kind of thing but it happened you're a part of it up a car up some stairs Tilling it on its side, putting it into a hall. So much, yeah. We didn't put it on its side. We just didn't tip it upside down or anything like that. We just carried it up and put it in there. Do you want to hear another good one?

Oh, no, no. Yeah, go on. We'll get it 20 seconds. What happened? 20 seconds, okay. We had this teacher that we didn't like also in a boarding school, and we had this upstairs fire escape, and the guys filled this big, you know,

there's big plastic buckets that you get. They have big plastic rubbish bin and it had handles on. So we filled it with slops and all the crap you could ever think of that you wouldn't want to think of into this bucket and we balanced it on the fire escape. And one of the guys got a rope on it and he went to a window. And this guy was walking along underneath and we pulled the handle and it tipped upside down,

covered this teacher with slops and crap and everything else. And he was fuming. He went running up the stairs. Meanwhile, this guy down the forest scape in a way, and he never found out who did that either. Oh, my God. You guys lived in the movies. This can't be real.

It was insane. My dad going to boarding school in small towns, and we'll go, when would it be in the 80s? Wow. Legend. Hey, cheers, dad. Appreciate out, mate. That's my father joining us talking.

Hey, you too. Bye, dad. Love you, love you, dad. Love you, dad. You're avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. We are live from the Hawks Bay today and Steph you were down in Wellington over the weekend with your lovely mother. Yeah, probably like a lot of people visiting fun over the long labour weekend. And my mum is one of those boomers that just uses old school sayings and language and stuff.

I think a lot of it comes from because her mum is from London. So there's a lot of British sayings that my mum learnt from her mum that now I've learnt kind of what's, they mean. So I have prepared a boomer slang quiz for everybody. Harrison versus Sean. And yeah, this kind of started because I had to keep telling my

mum to call, she's got two cats but for some reason she doesn't call them cats, she calls them pussies and so I had to keep saying, Mom, can you just call them cats? Can you please use it in a sentence? Like my mum would say because my baby, my 18 month old was

there. Can you use it in a sentence? know what you're doing. And she'd say things like, do you want to see Nana's pussy? And then she'd point to the cat. She didn't say that. You know. She didn't say, do you want to see Nana's pussy? There's no way she said that.

No, but she's talking about the cat. Yeah, right. The cat's outside. The cat was terrified of him, honestly, like, just terrified. But so it was quite hard to get them together. So whenever the cat would run past outside, she'd be like, oh, there's the pussy things like that they're weird in a different room and stuff and you would just

rock over the cat and your nana and your nana would have been narrating going oh rocko you laugh like with nana's pussy don't you no because they never got to play because it was scared what of the questions the phrases a scared cat so I kept being like mom call it a cat so anyway there's a few things that I've got here and you guys are going to try and guess what boomers mean by these okay yeah all right

I'll be blowed oh I'll be blowed. Yeah. Oh, I'll be bloated. Oh, I'll be blown away. Surprised. Okay.

Yeah. I need to go and spend a penny. I need to go shop. Yeah, spend some money. Go to the toilet. No. Go to the toilet. It comes from a British slang where it would cost a penny to use a public bathroom.

Oh. I need to go powder my nose. Drugs. Yeah. No, go to the toilet again. Right. Yeah. Same time.

I need to go see a man about a dog. Oh, that's not, no, that's... It's a boomer saying. Did it kill one out? Ooh, no. I don't get to see a man about a dog. Well, actually, yeah, I need to go outside and fart. I need to go away, like...

Is that what it means? Yeah, we'll go to the toilet. I don't think I'm going to, I need to go outside and fart even a saying. Yeah, it is. You don't know outside and fart. No one's out. You don't even say that. You're subtly walking.

Okay, what about, um, it's brass monkeys out there. It's brass monkeys out there. It's brass monkeys out there. No, it's not funny. No. Brass monkeys. Hailing. No, it's very cold.

Very cold. Why is it brass monkeys? It's brus monkeys out there. Sean, you know what? You're a proper Charlie. Oh, having you on? Yeah, you're a full. You're a fool.

Oh, okay, yeah, Charlie horse, yeah. As sure is eggs as eggs. Wait, sorry, was that part of the game? Well, you just calling me that. No, that was part of the game. I thought it was a half time. Almost, as sure as eggs is eggs. As sure as eggs.

Or something sure. Eggs or eggs? For dogs a dog, dogs are dogs, dogs are eggs. Does the Pope shit in the words? Absolutely certain. Yeah. Correct.

If a tree falls down in the woods, would you hear it? No, different. Different, way different. Okay. He's not the full shilling. The full shilling? Yeah, he's, Harrison's definitely not the full shilling.

Oh, like a couple of Sammy Shorn of a picnic. Correct. Calling me poor. Now, dumb. Okay, true. Checks out. And the last one. For God.

Gordon, bed it. One more time. Oh, Gordon, Bennett. Go to bed. Someone farted. I think that's not him fart. It's just an exclamation of surprise. Okay.

The edge. Your Arvo's Hid Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Harrison put a video up yesterday on Instagram. You sure did. Yeah. Now, out of, like, I don't want to sound like a creep here. So I do want to point out to people that you insisted that we watched the video.

And I did one yesterday, yesterday, yeah. To Lewis Capaldi's, forgive me. So he pulls up the dancing video on his phone and he shows it to Sean and I.

And asking you guys, everyone in the office, can I post that? Everyone in mixed reactions. I'm like, oh my God, yes, I'm going to go record it. And so there's a lot of comments.
