Because I thought those callers stories were, yeah. We need to hear it. There's story tell us today on the show, actually. Yeah, yeah. Coolers.

Fantastic. Enjoy. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. I've just got back from the horse. Hawks Bay. We were there last night. Check it out of our hotels. A little bit of a rush this morning. Guys, I'm just, I annoy myself with how clumsy I am. So this morning I was like, oh, I'm so organised. We ordered, well, I ordered the Uber for everybody to go get from Hawks Bay.

We were in Hastings to Napier Airport. And it was about, it was about 10 to 8. Uber was arriving at 8. And I was like, oh, yeah, I'll just slap on some makeup. So I look somewhat presentable. kind of thing. I've got time. So I was just like scrolling on TikTok. It got to about seven to eight, six to eight, five to eight. I was like, oh, slap it on now and then I'll stroll on down. So I'm in the bathroom. It's a few minutes until we're supposed to be downstairs meeting. And I am brushing my teeth. Shout out intern Lil Lillel for supplying me with my toothpaste, which I also did not bring with me. And I had to knock on her door early this morning to use hers. Thank you. But I'm brushing my teeth. And then somehow

Can I say so quickly, I was worried about that because you mentioned you had to go past the supermarket for toothpaste and we did not go past the supermarket. So I thought you were raw dog in the teeth. No, Lily saved the day. Last night and this morning. So shout out Lily. But I'm like brushing my teeth

and somehow I knock my makeup bag to the floor and I hear a, like a gunshot. A sniper that shot her bag off the... It was a glass shattering. How do I do? that. I hear a smash.

Smash. Nice. And I don't even look down. I'm like, oh, I know. I know that that is my very expensive foundation. And I know it's broken and ruined. Now, I only

buy my expensive foundation twice a year. And it's about $70 to $80. It's NARs. It's the best. And it's a special treat because I can't afford it all the time. So a few weeks ago, I bought myself one. And I looked down

and there is foundation. I sent you guys photo everywhere up and like all over the walls all over the grouting all over the tiles everywhere the tiles looked beautiful and so i'm like oh my god the uber's downstairs it's like eight o'clock now what no so i'm frantically using tissue paper and i'm putting it under the water and of course what happens with tissue paper when it gets wet it kind of just like crumbles into this like yuck mess i'm like paper mashing the walls trying to clean up this horrible mess meanwhile stressed out because the car's waiting.

I finally, like, finish, and I do as best a job that I can. And I'm texting Lily again to my rescue. I'm sure she's at the cafe downstairs. I'm like, can you please ask a cafe if there's, like, an empty coffee cup that I could put in, like, the glass shards? Because there's, like, a little bit of makeup left

in one of the parts of it. It's like a week's worth, and, like, this stuff's expensive. I want to save it. So she's like, yep, all good. And so I clean it up as best I can. I let the receptionist know as we're leaving. There's a bit of a meal.

I did the best I can. And she's like, that's all good. So we leave, Lily gives me the cup. I'm like happy days. Happy days. I make Sean Carrier in the Uber because I'm busy. Don't trust it. You're busy sitting, but we can't trust that.

Why am I get this like smash glass thing I'm carrying it? Shaw, Stephie, I'll hold it. No worries for me. And then it goes all the way to Auckland. It goes all the way through the airport. Through during the flight. I put it in the little pocket in the front seat. Can I say?

It's concerning that you're able to get smashed glass onto a plane. No, well, that's a good point. Domestic. Don't check anything. It's what I bring. So it's sitting there. It's bringing a gun man, yeah. And then in the hasty, rushiness of leaving the flight, because you know how when you're taking a flight,

it's like one roll at a time, and you just have to wait until it's your turn? There was one man on there that was, like, desperate to push in front of me. So I was like, I know that is the incorrect plain etiquette. So I was like, oh my God, this guy wants to push in front of me. So I'm quickly gathering all my stuff. I wasn't ready. And then I leave my first. foundation in the coffee cup, on the plane, along with my water bottle that cost probably like 12 bucks at the Hastings airport.

Oh, you left the water bottle? Oh, you left everything. Oh, no. That's a nightmare. Guys. You got so close as well, Steph. You put it in the cup. You did everything along the journey and you couldn't quite get it back.

You're like, you're so reverending. I love these trips because it really reveals stuff about each other. You're like a bit of a clutz. Yeah. Like that happened, but we went to subway and gave out of subways at the subway. We're there for an hour. Like Steph dislocated her jaw And Lily put her arm around her.

A flag fell down, almost knocked Steph out. Water drowned her phone twice. Twice? Twice, yeah, yeah. I picked up her subway to give it to it, roll her out of the bag, went all over the concrete. You've got a little bit of a curse. You need to work on it.

This is my life. This was the real me, guys. Your Ravos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. I love museums. Okay, I, uh, in Hawks Bay, we have the National Aquarium. The National Aquarium. That's not a museum. That's an aquarium. It's an aquarium.

There's cutouts and stuff. Like, it's museum. It's a museum. Yeah, but wait, hold on. Is it a zoo a museum? I'd say an aquarium is more like a zoo. And a museum is more like an art gallery. Okay. Clearly you guys don't love museums. Okay, I'm a big fan. I lived in Wellington for five years. To Papa, every weekend I'll be it. No, we're talking.

Sorry, just quickly. Is the cutty-cutty bird gardens a museum? No. Okay. Thank you for that. We should do museum or not? Well, Amy, you're saying an aquariums, a museum is a museum. I'm a bird garden museum.

Not the point. What I'm saying is I know what a museum is. I know what museums I like. Okay. I'm doing a bit of edge work at the Auckland Museum, just outside of it on a field with the ads from the day show. And she was like, oh, if you're free after this, can we go hang out in the museum? Have you ever been there?

I was like, no, never been there. So I'm because you have to go. I'm like, oh, that good. I don't really have been walking around a museum on a Sunday afternoon right now. It's the building in Auckland that kind of looks like the White House, eh? It's incredibly. with the big pillars. Yeah, it's an incredible building.

So I was like, fine, let's go check it out. Foyer, beautiful. An amazing foyer. Text in 33, 4, 3, 3, 4th, what's your favourite museum? So we'll walk in... What do you like about the Auckland Museum? We're never going to read them out. It would never be read out, but read them out.

We'll read out every single one. Yeah, every single one. We'll read them out. We'll be here a long time. To Papa. So I walk around the foyer. Yeah, beautiful. Go in.

Have you guys been the Auckland? Museum? Yeah. Guys, I've DJed there. Is that a weird fix? You can do weddings and stuff there. Yeah, I've did it at school balls there. It is the mix of a garage sale and a tip shop.

That's a crazy thing to say. Whoa. Is the T-Rex? There's a literal dinosaur bones. No. It's a T-Rex skeleton. It's a beautiful... From millions of years ago.

No, all fakes. You don't know museums like I do. So I'm walking around. There's like glass cake. of literally like plates and stuff and I'm reading I wonder I wonder what Princess had these I wonder what you know significant person had these they're from Avondale an Avondale plate it must be the plates of the community it must be some kind of now that this one's from Christchurch oh cool so we've got this case

of lighting for plates did you keep did you keep reading though because if you well what else did it say about the plates Timaru plate like that is plates from around the community but okay cool got another room oh lots of frames of photos of you want what's a wonder who there's significant people are, the selfies, selfies of people around New Zealand. And I go, what's this, read the little writing, the people of New Zealand. Oh, you need to see that up. This is a museum.

At the window. Have you seen the building of it? Yeah. I'm just like, okay, this is, sorry, cheap. I don't like it. I don't like it. And then years goes to me, you wait until you see the tsunami, the tsunami simulator. There's like a house that you go into.

It's like the earthquake house, so I thought. So you go to the big tsunami. earthquake house in Wellington you literally have to hold onto the walls you're rolling around that's ridiculous this it shakes a bit because the tsunami

I compared it to just standing on the side of the street a bus drives past you that little bit of force that's what I felt I literally stood there a little bit of Yaj robbed my eyes left early

Was there at least a spray bottle or go just nothing there was nothing and you know what the worst part was this is the tipping point for me this really like YAS we're leaving It was almost the tsunami house. We go to the animal area.

I'm like, oh, this is amazing. Oh, yeah. Like we've got all these, like these big elephants. Like taxidermy? There's giraffes. Oh, cool. Yeah. I was like, man, there's a real taxidermy.

Yeah. Oh, look. And I go, they look a bit funny. Why don't they look a bit funny? They're a bit layered and stuff. I read the little printout on the side. They're all paper mashay. Oh.

They're all paper mashay puppets. Oh. So we've got this whole museum showing off the best things around the world. We've got op shops. We've got crockery. We've got selfies from people in New Zealand And we've got paper mashay animals There must be something good there

Um I got Actually I got this beautiful little quiche On the way out To die for it's delicious Your Avos head harder With Sean, Steph and Harrison The Edge

The Edge 5 star fact This is the part of the show Where I bring a facts to the table The subject matter of which And fact changes daily and our team of judges, Harrison, Steph, and a listener on 800 The Edge will judge it out of five stars.

Long-time listener, Hayden from Christchurch. Hayden, welcome, brother. Go to team again. Oh, so good, Hayden. I'm stoked for you. I think Hayden's going to be a good judge for me today. I don't know. Hayden are texting a lot,

and he's got a lot of opinions, Hayden. Yeah. He's the love, who he hates you. Is he going to be as brutal as Kylie was the other day? We'll see. We'll see. But we're looking for a good fact here, Hayden. You've heard this before.

But we want a fact that. that blows our socks off and we can't wait to tell everybody we know. Will that be today? We'll see. What you got, Sean? What are you doing, Hayden? I've got stuff on a scaffold on the roof. Oh, God, good on you, good on you.

God, strong. Don't fall off, please. We can't have that happen legally. But let's get into it. Today's fact is about Dubai. Hey, before we start. Oh, go on, Hayden. Sean, your microphone's real quiet, man.

Oh, is it? Yeah, it sounds like you're like on the other side of the room. No, no, no, I'm with you now. I'll fix it. Yeah, yeah, that's it, that's good. Wow. He's like asserting dominance before he gets you to the fact. This is the best thing ever.

What happened? Oh, what are the buttons? One of the buttons wasn't pushed down. Wow. See, only Hayden would call it. Good on you, Hayden. Thanks, mate. Okay, today's fact is about Dubai.

It takes three months to clean the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which is the tallest building in the world. it's done four times a year so technically the cleaning of the Birch Caliphate never stops it takes three months to clean they do it four times a year so it's perpetually being cleaned

on the outside? Yeah like windows yeah there's a photo of the people scailing down it but anytime you go to the Birch Caliphate there's someone abseiling on the side about cleaning a window

I think of ruins it are you like for photos It's a bit like going to see A landmark and seeing scaffolding all over it like the Big Ben in London for like 10 years it was so annoying Yeah

Hayden, what's your first thoughts, mate? Well, as a builder, I'm actually quite into that, so straight away five. Straight away! Hayden, are you sure? You can read your time, man. No, don't make him second guess it. I love it, Hayden. Thank you very much. Five stars. Thank you. Wow, he's so assertive.

Jeez, yeah. Okay. Well, I thought it was... I thought it was that, but wetter. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah, nah.

Cleaning facts. Cleaning facts. No, it was, yes, it was about cleaning. Window facts. Oh, but it's about a great monument. The tallest building in the world, that's cool. But it doesn't shock you. I like those facts, right?

It doesn't shock you because, yeah, there's a really tall building. It would take a long time to clean. So in your mind, you're just like, yeah, it would take a long time. Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, it makes sense. Oh, okay. It's not shocking. Right.

Nah, no, no, doesn't shock you. Yeah. Okay. We like shock. Ah, one and a half of me. One and a one. One, Peyton, you're very generous. Very generous, mate.

Oh, good. Hey, are we allowed to double facts? Well, you can have one. I don't have any more facts, if that's what you're asking for. I guess it's a similar, Shaveen. Isn't it like the Golden Gate Bridge is, like, constantly being painted? Isn't that a null and thing? Oh, now we're talking.

I don't know that. It's because we're being painted. Why? Oh, it's like red. Well, because it's by the sea. How how corrosion works, man? Oh. From the salt from the ocean.

Hayden? Yeah. Five. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's something I've heard. That's a five-star fan, mate. Well done. It's incredible. Guys, I'll take it.

Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We are very, very excited to have a man joining us right now who is in the news Cirque de Sole, which has just come to Auckland. He plays the ringmaster and a professional whistler? I am. Yeah. Is that your title? Wow.

It is Heret. Yeah, welcome. Thank you. Thank you, guys. The initiation right as well. It's hearth. Yeah, but it was close enough, really. Now, if we can just paint a picture, a beautiful grey top hat, a lovely red, is that

velvet or just a beautiful coat? Yeah. With a waistcoat of bowtie, the white shirt, you're the whole shebang. Well, you can say, picture of ringmaster, that's what he looks like. Yeah, it is here. Now, Corteo, it is the longest running Cirque de Soleil that's ever been. And you're a big part of it. You keep things moving.

And you're a professional whistler. I am, yes. So how is whistling a part of your act? Whistling is my act, actually. Yeah. They were searching for a whistler. They found me, so I got the job. I need to be a character as well.

So I'm Monsieur Loyal, Mr. Loyal, and that's a traditional circus character from back in the days. We are going to hear you, Wessel. I don't know we're all desperate to hear it. Please. Make it the dessert of the chat. You say they hired you as a whistler first. What qualifications do you bring to the table?

How did you grow up as a whistler? Yes, I was a young boy, four years old, when I started whistling. My dad was whistling around the house all the time, and for some reason I thought this is part of communication, so let's whistle along. And for some reason, I got the right tone immediately, and I really liked doing it. So I kept on doing it.

So I was whistling all my youth everywhere I came. I was just whistling, and I got better and better, and nobody ever paid attention. Because my dad whistled like me. It was just, okay. Until this moment in 2003 we're talking about now I was having a Christmas dinner with my parents-in-law and they had music on Christmas music

I didn't really like the music so I thought let's give it a bit of a other touch so I whistled along all the time and my sister-in-law was very annoyed with me and she said stop stop stop and after a bottle of wine I said well if there was a competition I would join and then three weeks later I received a text message on my phone Geert, you're going to America.

So I had no clue what she was talking about. This was my sister-in-law. No clue what she was talking about. So I phoned her and I said, what do you mean? You're going to, yeah, I entered you for the World Championships of Whistling because you said if there was a competition, you would join. And there is one.

So I decided, she thought I would never go. It was just bluff, you know. But I thought if something like this is really happening, I have to be there. So I went there and then I won. Wow. Yeah, I got a lot of media attention in the Netherlands and well, here I am. So this life found me and, yeah.

So that's an incredible story. Yeah. How many times did you go back to win? I'm sorry. How many times did you go back to America and compete? Oh, two more times. One time in America I won and one time in Japan I won as well. And after that, I have been a judge for quite some times.

Who knew that this world even existed? No, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. That's insane. Yeah, right? Wow. Whistle while your work?

You know that song? Whistle why you work? Literally. Yeah. He doesn't have a song. In the NASDA. He's the best wrestlers in the world. That's incredible.

Shall we hear you whistle? Yeah, okay. Is that okay? Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. Okay. Mozart made some variations on this tune that everybody will know. I will whistle a little bit and then a variation.

Is that okay? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, here we go. That's well known right. Yeah. That's good. And then Mozart in combination with Chattroux, that's me.

We made some various. Wow. Something like that. Oh my gosh. I want to see that tongue in there. No breath. I bet it's going crazy. Wow.

That was really, really incredible. Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hurt. Yes. Did I nail the name or did I mess it up again? No, it's good. Okay, all right.

A professional whistner. He's won the whistling champion. of the world. Multiple times over, he's now a professional whistling judge. Yeah, and so every week we do polls here on the show to see kind of what vibes we're giving off. They're called Avo, Polo! And people vote for this on social media, on Instagram,

and early this week I was very, very upset when I lost the poll, people thought I was the worst whistler. Now, I'm very angry with this result because I... She hasn't shut up about it here. It's been really bad. I reckon I'm not a bad whistler and I'm better than the boys So if it's okay

Mr Ringmaster Sir Could we please whistle for you one at a time And then you decide on who the best whistle is They paid me more How much did they pay you? I knew it Stop Don't talk about a place No no let's go let's go

I'm very curious I think I think oh Steve first No no no no no you guys go first No no no I think I insist I insist I think you I think you get fish We go.

We'll go. We'll go. Wow. That's my whistle. The facial expressions, they deserve points for sure. Oh, okay. Thank you very much.

Yeah, yeah. But I want to listen to the other ones first, please. Okay. Okay, me? Yeah, well, Ringmaster, sir. I just want to say that

I'll do the normal whistling in a second, but I can also do this. So. Yeah. I see, have you got so excited. He liked that. You like that?

I can't do it. Oh, you can't do it. Oh, you can't do it. Wow. What? What? You outbbed a professional whistling. So, guys, it is radio.

So I just did the old sheep whistle with the one hand thing. So, like, just pretty good, pretty good stuff there. Now, for the real whistling. Okay. Steph has stood to her feet. Oh, no. Come on a move. False start.

Yeah. Okay, that's it. I don't remember. Yeah, okay. And finally, Harrison steps up to the mic for the whistling competition. If you just tuned in, we have the, uh, The whistler from Cirque de SLA, professional whistler. He is a judge in the World Whistling Championships judging Sean and Stephen Harrison's whistling.

Take it away, Harrison. What is it called? Was it called? It's like windy today. Quite triggering for that woman in Wellington. Oh, he's laughing. He's laughing because he laughed. And now the results.

Good. The whistling master, you've heard Steph, Sean and Harrison's whistle. Please rank us from worst to best. Oh, no. But the worst was easy. Harrison, that was not very impressive. Why you're like a dog. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Damn it. I don't think that's what they call that. Harrison was not good at the blue job. Damn it. For the last time. Fair enough.

Fair enough. They don't call it the blow job. Yeah, no. Yeah, although your, your loud whistle was very impressive. Thank you so much. That's very hard. I think, I think Sean won this competition.

Yeah. I think you're right. Thank you, Ringmaster. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We're taking your calls right now. What did you send back for the most horrific reason? Or what did you get?

And you were like, no, I'm too polite to send this back because this morning. Steph, I overcome a fear, guys, of being considered slightly ruined a cafe and sent back some very, very hard boiled eggs. Yeah. And this is so low level. But I feel like it was a first step. And because I'm not the girl that if a hair's in food, if a bugs in food, whatever. I just grin and bear it. And I'm like, oh, well, you know, it's going to happen to me this time.

I'll eat it anyway. But I feel like hearing other people's stories, like horror stories, it'll help coach me and coach others like you Harrison and you're listening potentially to be a bit more, have a bit more courage to do the same. Yeah, I need courage. Sometimes it is necessary. So, should we go to Roger first? Hello, Roger.

Hi, guys, how are you? Good. Great, Roger. So talk us through it. What arrived and did you send it back or not? So we're out of a Christmas staff to a number of years ago and we're down to dessert and I ordered a sort of a caramelly saucy cheesecake. So I was quite excited about that because I like the cheesecake. When it came out, it just didn't taste right.

But like what you guys are saying before, I didn't really want to complain. And I was a big group of people around me. So I just keep going, keep going. I ate about, I'd say about half of it. And then thought, you know, something's just something's not right. here. I've got to say something. So I asked the waitress, the young waitress, and she went back and went out the back

and they had mixed up the bottles of sauce, so she had poured barbecue sauce all over the cheesecake instead of caramel sauce. That'll be... And so, yeah, and they sent, they brought out another one and I just couldn't, I just couldn't do it. I just couldn't do it. I was too traumatized, so gave it away, but

the most annoying thing was when I went up to pay at the end, and I was a bit younger then, they just charge me for it anyway. But I think these days I'd probably just say, you know, it's probably fair enough if I just don't have to pay for it. Yeah, I think so, because you're actually doing the kitchen of service because they were the ones that made the mistake. They definitely shouldn't have. Yeah. Roger, how many barbecue cheese do you serve that day? Could be heaps, so, you know, you help the community, brother.

Yeah, sure, Roger, that's a great story. I thought the outcome was going to be, he's like, I actually preferred the barbecue one. Can I get that? It does sound kind of nice. Yeah, onto something. Ryan, hello, welcome to the phone topic of what you send back. Oh, yeah, hey guys, how are you? So I ordered a, this was a little while ago as well, and I ordered a potato and gravy, it was a bit of a family dinner,

and we were dishing it all up, and luckily we had the large ones, so we were serving out into a separate plate, and there was a big bit of chewed-up chewing gum in the potato and gravy. Oh, yeah. Oh, you hear it. about this stuff but like never from the person that actually happened to.

No, it's unbelievable when you see it. You're just like, yeah, like you say, you hear about it, but you never see it. Ryan, that's disgusting. You know what, actually, Ryan, we're going to give you our $50 Subway voucher, bro. So they definitely won't do that, yeah. Awesome. The cordon blue is back at participating restaurants. The web part of it was they hooked us up with some food vouchers to go back there

with and we're a bit like, we don't really want to go back after that experience. Fair enough, mate. There you go. You can go to subway and enjoy that. Should we go one more call, though? Yeah, shot, Ryan. Tyler from Wellies, what did you have to return and why? I returned it definitely, but I got a burger and had a finger from a disposable glove and sandwich in between the burger ingredients.

Hold on. A finger. A finger. A glove finger from a disposable glove. Okay. That's crazy. Like just the finger part of a glove. Just the finger part of the gloves.

How does that even happen? That's a prank. There's to be a prank. In a burger? Yeah. You could have choked on that. Like that's really dangerous. It's more dangerous than the whole glove. Yeah. That's insane.

Maybe it was meant to be a prank for someone else. I think so. It's weird to cut off some of that. It looked like it had been burnt around the bottom of it. So like it could have been an accident. But yeah, it was pretty gross. What happened to the person's hand? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Bravo's Hit Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. He has 2,253 names in his name. It takes over 20 minutes to recite, which I won't do now. So let shorten it to Lawrence Watkins, everybody. Lawrence.

Hello, hello. Thanks for having me. Wow. Lawrence, does it feel like an absolute stitch-up or an absolute privilege to have this name? Privilege, privilege. which, yes, yes. Names, my only regret is that I can't pronounce a lot of them properly. So you did this in the 90s. You weren't born this way, Lawrence.

You changed your name to include over 2,000 middle names to try and win a Guinness World Record. How did you go about the process of selecting the 2,000 words? I imagine it got to the point where just like, what's the next word that comes to my mind, I'm putting it down. Yeah, so I worked at the Auckland Public Library so I found most of my names there. We typed them up all up,

and I lodged them at the local district court in Albert Street, and the registrar accepted it. Wow. So with over 2,000... What a time waste? 2,000 middle names. You've got to have a favourite. What's your favourite middle name?

My favourite is AZ 2000, meaning I got names from... Yeah, meaning I got names from A to Z, and I got 2,000 names. Is that actually one of your names? Yes, yes, it's on page six If you went to my website How many pages are there?

Six pages from my birth certificate I'd like to pull to your website Lawrence Watkins.com Page number four of your full name, please, if it's okay, Lawrence Where it's gone Dick, Dickie, Dickon What inspired that part? Probably booze

right's interesting it's kind of alphabetical but then it's not it's like all C words and then all D words then all W words then all S words

it's like you can tell he's got on a roll of like words that start with a letter and then he's pivoted yeah I think I got fed up it started off because my father's Lawrence and my grandfather's Lawrence

so I kept the Lawrence but it was starting off alphabetically but then it got mixed up Lawrence, do you have any kids? Do you have any children? No, I got no children, no. Okay, I was just going to ask what their names are. I got a dog. I got a Jack Russell. Wait, let's guess.

We do not have time. What's his name? Tony. Rex, Rex. That's the shortest name ever. Lauren, you can't choose a three-letter name for your dog and then 2,000 middle names for yourself. Amazing. Well, this is Lawrence Watkins, the owner of the world's longest name.

Be rude. Full name, please. With 2,310 middle names. Congratulations. No, no, that was the old record. A couple of weeks ago, Guinness re- recounted the names. Wow. They came up with 2,2503s. They gave me another certificate.

My apologies. I've got the old certificate and a new certificate. Well, legend. Cheers, Lawrence. Well, done. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We're talking right now.

Who's got the second longest name? in New Zealand. We just had a man on the show who legally has the longest name in the world. Guinness World Record, Lawrence Watkins is his name. You can go to his website. He's a Kiwi guy. His website has four, he's got six pages, sorry, for his official birth certificate.

His birth certificate's on a website. And his name is Lawrence, Alon, Aloys, Aloiasis, so it goes in alphabetical. It's a lot of A's, a lot of B's. It's incredible. His favorite middle name is AZ1-2. 2000. Oh, oh, oh, or something. Yeah.

2000. Yes. Because all his names are over 2,000 names from A to Z. He worked at a library, so he picked up a lot of names and books there, some Tiro-Malai names, some Samoan names, some Anderan names. It's a bit of appropriation, eh? Well, yeah, we did ask him to read some out, and he said no, because he doesn't know how to pronounce some of them. Yeah, he's an interesting fella.

It's his own name. Anyway, so who is the second longest-named person in Al-Teroa? Let's go to Vicky first. Hey, Vicki? Hi. Hit us. What you got? I'm the second longest, but my name's Vicki, Josephina, Petronella, Maria Mitchell.

Oh, that's long. One more time, please, Vicki, if we may. Christina, Petronella, Maria Mitchell. Beautiful. A lot of my family has three middle names, and we all have Maria, including my dad. Wow. That's so interesting thing from the Pacea. Maria's the Patron St.

And that's like faith and a lot of people in the Netherlands have Maria because she like looks after the children. So, yeah. How cool. Amazing. I can also have three middle names, not as long as mine. So cool. What's your initials?

Mickey J. T.M. Mitchell, yeah, M. You don't even know. J. P. M. Amazing.

It's an acronym. I love that. Thank you, Vicki. All right. So five to beat. Five to beat. Courtney, how many names do you have? I've only got four names, but my brother has a super long name.

Okay, go do yours and your brothers. Okay, so I'm Courtney Greer, got Switihira. Beautiful. Nice. And my brother is Rihiri, Tornir, Pada, Kahurangi, Got Swetihara. You've got the widest name of that, and he's got the Maoiest name I've ever heard. Are you full-blood relatives? Yeah, yeah.

There's some Moldy had a name. Oh, I was like a minute. Yeah. How many names do you have all together? Tarahari, Honorepaida, Kahirangi got Sweetsy Heather, so that's six. Wow. Beautiful.

I like it. Amazing. Courtney, at the moment, you are winning for the second longest name in New Zealand. Can it be beaten? I think Henne Moore possibly can. Hello? Hi. Now, is it your name that you reckon's pretty long or someone else is?

No, it's my name. All right, Henne Moa. Hit us. What's you got? Hennemua, Hamanu, Yama, and Walker Grace Gray. Wow. We found out. What's the count, though? What's the number? How many names is that? I've got ten names all up.

That's it. That's it, Hennemoi. One more time, one more time. Sheenamo a hamua Tarangi, Kouranui,ama, and Walker Grace Grey. That's mean. She's got it down, she says it in a way that's faster

than other people have said. You've really nailed saying that. That's a stunning name. When you, like, fill out documents and stuff, do you shorten it, or do you need, like, more extra squares? Yeah, I either make more squares or I just give them my last name. Oh, my God, what does your driver's license look like? Oh, that's a good question.

I've got two lines, I think. Oh, actually, no, sorry, it's cut off. It cuts off. It cuts off. Runs out of spaces. Wow. Oh my gosh, I love that. Yeah, thank you so much for calling in for us. Wow, we bloody love it.

Far. Far. I'm, I'm going to know. Behind the scenes, I'll be wearing burk and stock, and I think they might be a little stinky because I called a whiff or something earlier and then I kicked it off. Wait. So we told you this yesterday and you were quite offended. My burkenstock? Well, I mean, there was a wift.

Oh, no. You told me, you just saw my armpit smell it. yesterday and I was offended by that. Yeah, it was bad. Because Harrison said it as a joke and then intern Lily thought it was real. I don't think there was ever a joke in there. We're going to be honest. I've got good hygiene.

She always exploded. Don't start it. You do. You're fishing for it. Behind the scenes chair, I'm leaving. I'm going away for a couple weeks. A couple weeks from going back to Hawke's Bay. Dude, we were there this.

morning. Yeah, you shouldn't have come back. Yeah, I know. Technically, bit fucked. Yeah, it doesn't be but. Stayed there. I guess you needed to pack some things. Yeah, now I was going away for my holiday.

I haven't really had a holiday this year. I actually used all of my leave to shoot Ahikato, which came out today, a TV show. And my boss kindly has let me have some time off. Yeah, nice. Radio's pretty hectic. Life's pretty hectic at the moment. so it'd be good to have just a bit of reset time

I've just burnt up and just burn I've burnt out, I've burnt out. I never liked to admit. I never wanted to admit that. Because I feel like I'm a pussy for admitting that. No, no, no, no, never, never. But I think it was you, Sean, and someone out, my agent, and I think Adrian, all three of them were like,

oh yeah, you're burning out. Like, this is what it is. This is what it is. It feels like, well, it's this what it is. I've never had this before. Yes. I'm sorry for not noticing it. You didn't say it.

Maybe you checked in this year, which is nice. But yeah, so I'm just going away for a couple weeks, which would be nice, see how it goes, see when I come back.

It's always the end of the year. I might just leave till the end of the year. Yeah, might just do a rod from the rock and just stay off the rest of the year. What are your plans while you're during the day? Be home. Yeah. Just with my mum and my dad and my father. Like, literally, like, clock off a bit.

Yeah. I think I'm going to do, like, a writing retreat. Cool. Like I think I'm just, I mean, it's just being creative. I'm just going to write scripts, like TV shows and films, I think. Because I don't even want to do social media. So I've stocked up a few videos. Yeah.

It's been a goal I've been trying to do. I stock up some videos and I'm just going to like... Drip feed them. Schedule them. Yeah. To come out. Nice. And instead of me every day.

Because I do social media on the silos and every day you're like, fuck, what should I make today? Yeah. It's another job. It's not source of income. It's like another, if this doesn't work out, I've always got that. So it's good to keep all the pots on. Mm-hmm.

So, yeah, I'm just going to try and just clock out from it a bit. Yeah, detox. Like, literally, really dead. Like, whenever I go to Hawksbilt, like, you guys saw it. Well, they're yesterday. You just go like, fuck, it feels like, what a peaceful place. Yeah. Man, this is a slow town.

Yeah. I felt that. I felt the pace, like, when we were giving away free subway, the amount of people who would have said no to that in Auckland or just ignored you. There are people who actually, when I yelled at them in the car, you're on free subway, even if they didn't, they went on the window and stopped moving. And was like, nah, bro, thanks, though. Everyone's like got time for you

I look at the sun I look at the sky and the bushes I'm like man it's just peaceful yeah I love some peace That'll be so good for you It will be nice and then yeah Back of December's busy as Yeah back into it

It's just me for the rest of this week. Come on, guys. There's only one more day to go. Sean, you also get quite sickly. Are you never not? It's true. That is tough. I'd say that I get sickly.

Sean, you're so funny the other day, we were like, being stiff yesterday, the day before we were in the meeting room, we were both like, I, you feel a bit sick today? And she was like, no, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? Sean, you always blow your nose out? You're always quite sick.

No, I think that's why I was worried about you too because I knew I was going to catch it instantly. Yeah, you do. So it was more about, selfishly, it was more about self-preservation. Yeah, than it was about you guys. So maybe there were some solo shows while in my way. Yeah.

Potentially. That would be fun. Potential. Potential. Definitely potential for that. Yeah. You guys going to Cirque de Soleil tonight? Yes.

Yeah. I will be telling a story on the radio show tomorrow, which will explain why I'll never go to a Cirque to Salé again, because something quite triggering happened to me at Cirque to Salee. Oh. I want to know now. True story. It's just, but it's one of those.

I think we'll have to actually turn and listen. You're not going to do that. I'm not going to be a signal up there. Oh, Rover? No, there's no way. It's got a signal. True. Oh, yeah.

Do we talk about that? Tong and Arrow crossing you're walking tomorrow. Yeah, it's a big walk. It's where they filled all the rings. Oh, I'd love to do that. They know the best part about the crossing. I've done it twice now. The best part, this sounds bad, but it's mean as.

Because you walk your knacket, the biggest day ever, is always like, we organise like a shuttle at the end to come pick us up. And the shuttle driver, same guy every year, his name's Keith. Keith brings a chili bin of beers. Oh. And you're like, you know, you're a bit dizzy. You're sitting at a beer. You're like, I'm pissed.

It's so cool. The epitome of like, do the mahi get the tree. He feels a nice crack out of a cold be like, fuck. It's probably the epitome as well of the last thing you need after doing that trip. You probably need to rehydrate with some electrolytes. You probably need some good food. He's like, here's a beer. You're like, all right.

That's so mean. Oh, that's going to be fun. I'm excited. We're going to miss you. But we know that you're going to have such a great break with your family. Fuck, it would be great. I miss you guys. Guys, sorry, just quickly.

I had a premonition just then. Like a prediction. Yeah, you had a prediction the other day. I think this is going to happen. Oh, I think David Edinburgh is going to die on Christmas Day. Yeah. You have that weird feeling. I just had a premonition that I think Harrison's going to meet Elijah Wood.

Elijah Wood, who plays photos in the country right now. They film all the rings on Tongadero. He's back in New Zealand. Harrison's going to do it. I have a premonition right now that Harrison's going to meet Elijah Wood. I'm just going to say that. So if it happens, I hope so. If that happens, can you just ditch your digital detox for a minute and just give me a face time.

No, I can't. Oh my God, no place. I can't. Big stories when I'm back. Big stories when I'm back. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. Rover, music, radio, podcasts.
