This is a podcast from Rover. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. How often do you put a new pair of socks on? And this is not a question that I thought I needed to ask in adult life. I think everyone knows. How often are you changing your socks, Steph? Every day.

Good. Sometimes multiple times a day. Yeah, I've been known to do that if I'm going out at night. I'll be honest, sometimes I'll roll the same pair of socks into a second day. if I'm like have stayed the night somewhere without meaning to you know you end up crashing

at your mate's place you have a couple of drinks and you throw the same socks onto your home or if I'm doing like an early morning workout class and I'm like they're going to get ruined

I'm not going to commit to a new pair of socks for this I'd say if you wear a pair of socks today and you sleep in them and then you wake up and go to the gym in the morning that's okay to still be wearing

the same socks so that's not sorry I've got to put you wear a pair of socks through the day those socks to bed. Yeah. That's insane.

Why is that insane? You can't wear outside clothes to bed, let alone a pair of socks that have been in your shoes all day. Outdoor clothes, of course you can. Like clothes that you've been wearing throughout the day, and then you just wear into bed. Yeah. And these socks. No. I sleep in the clothes that I wore that day.

So I have a t-shirt I'm wearing. I sleep in it. You sleep in that shirt? Yeah. No, no. You need a dedicated sleep shirt. Why? You can't be sleeping in your good shirts.

Well, I don't have good clothes. Well, I just have two shirts. Okay. Well, let me rephrase that. You can't be sleeping in the clothes you've worn all day. Why? Your sheets are going to get dirty. You're bringing it in the outside world.

You've got stuff on your shirt throughout the day. Your outside world. What do you think's out there? You spill a bit of stains on there and then that gets in the bed. No, because they're all dried by the time you go to bed. Sweeting through your stuff and it gets in bed. Yeah, but you're washing your sheets on a weekly basis anyway. Oh, that is crazy.

That's not that crazy. But we're not here. We're not talking about that right now. But why do you think that's crazy? I just, I don't know. I'm a shower before bed guy and I'm put on fresh clothes before I go to bed. No, no, no, no, no. Every night, so clean.

Yeah. I'm getting into bed, clean. But I'm just going to do all that in the morning. Yeah, but when you feel a bit yuck, sitting there in your bed, you're like, oh, I'm wearing my undies I've worn today, and my socks have worn today. Every night. They're a little sweaty. Every night.

Every night. Never questioned it. Don't think it's a big deal. Okay. All right. Produce a nurse, Sam. As a nurse, we've relied on producing nurse, Sam, too much for the show already. Are we talking about showering, or the socks one?

All of us. Is it weird? Is it weird that I go to bed wearing the clothes that I wore that day, including socks and underwear and t-shirt? Yeah, yeah. What do you wear? I will wear, like, a pajama top, like a t-shirt or something. And I will often have a shower before bed.

So you change your undies? Yeah. Oh, yeah, definitely change my undies, because my sleepy knickers are way more comfy than my day niggles. You're a day knickers. Now our listeners are excited. I get what Sam's saying because I've got like morning, I've got like day clothes, night clothes.

Like, I'll relegate, like, shirts I don't wear anymore to bed shirts, etc. I get this if you're living in, like, a big, like, polluted city. You know, if you're taking the subway in New York and, you know, a lot of public transport and there's a lot of, like, germs, maybe. But I'm just in my car. I'm either in this seat that I'm sitting in right now, in the seat in my car or my couch. But what about, like, the three places I am every day? No, I'm not sad, I'm just, I'm just me.

Interestingly, that's not even what we're going to talk about. We're talking about socks and this viral video clip on TikTok. How often do you change your socks? Every day. Whatever it feels right. Every week. Damn. Maybe like every three days in winter and more like every day in summer.

My socks daily. Why would you not change your socks on a daily basis? Every day, maybe twice a day. Every day. At least every day. Even in the winter? Yeah, of course. On today?

Okay, so that's what we're going to talk about. You know what? I'm scratching it. We're going people's court. Oh, God. I think when we need to do it, Steph. People's court. Does Steph need to wear fresh clothes to bed?

Nah, it's such a waste of time. It's more washing. Because I'm going to wash the T-shirt I've worn that day anyway. So why am I changing it to another top that I'll eventually have to wash? I'm just washing one thing. It's actually more economical. I hear your point, and it does make sense. you've heard my opinion

I reckon three jurors whatever they say goes would you be willing to throw this in the hands of the people's court Yeah go on I think people will agree especially parents

Mums Come back for me please You've got to step up here Your Arvo's Head Harder With Sean Steph and Harrison The Edge Should Steph be allowed to wear her

clothes she's been wearing all day To bed at night Or should she need to chuck on a freshie Let's go to Ruby It's crazy that people are up Hi, Ruby. You're passionate about it. You've caught up.

Oh, Ruby, God, I hope you're team, Steph because I need some people on my team. A hundred percent I'm definitely team Steph. There is no chance I'm getting changed. Yeah. Like, I'm going to bed in the t-shirt and undies that I'm wearing unless it is an uncomfortable top. Yes.

If it's like a nice... Yes. Then I might get changed into some pajamas or... But... Exactly. It's good day. Ruby, I'm with you. So say it's a button-up shirt.

It's not, I'm not sleeping in there. I'm going to get changed into a t-shirt. Or if it's like a singlet, because the singlet's annoying to sleeping, because it's going to go down your arm through the night. It's going to, like, cause some discomfort. So, yeah, so, Ruby, thank God for you. Well, I'll be honest, I did not expect it to start off with someone in Steph's favour, but that's all right.

One out of three. Let's go to Aaron and Ashburden. Aaron, are you in favour or against Steph wearing the same clothes she's worn all day to bed? I'm against Steph, mate. That's just wrong. You need to be changing your clothes. Why, though? Every day.

Why? Every day. Well, do you sweat at all? No? You don't sweat at all. Erin, she does sweat. No? She does sweat.

Yeah, I'd say, like, you know, you're walking to your car, walking back to your home. Hold on, hold on. So, Aaron, Aaron, what difference does it make that if I'm having a shower at night or shower in the morning? Because your argument is sweat. But so what? I just, I'm like, I'm just going to go to bed, I'm going to sleep, and then in the morning I'll deal with the sweat. Yeah, no, that's gross for me. What about your sheets like?

How many times you could change your sheep? We're doing that week. I'm with you, mate. That is one vote for, one vote against, which means Adrian from Maniwa. We'll decide it all. Adrian, are you four against differing the same undies, socks and t-shirt that she's worn all day to bed? Well, hey, look, for a start, I work in my garage at home, a vinyl work on cars. And honestly, I didn't have a shower today.

I had a show yesterday, and I am a single parent, so I think I can speak for all single parents out there that, you know, when they want to have a little, you know, that all, you know, kind of weighs up on that sort of thing. Right. Yeah, so. Yeah, I'm picking up what you're laying down there, Adrian. So I don't understand.

Are you pro or against that? So Adrian saying it depends on... I'm trying depends if you're in the relationship or not. But also I think... It depends on what is happening in the bed on every particular night, whether you're alone or not. Unless it would just be, you know, casual, you know, cooking dinner, you know, no bra or whatnot, but, you know. Yeah, and then on those nights, on the nights that nothing's happening.

The airtime's turned up. You're just cooking dinner. You're just monging out on the couch and then you're just hopping on off to bed, right? Yeah, but you're single. Yeah. You know. Or not. You're just going to rock into bed with all the day.

and all the garage sort on your feet and, you know, whatnot. Exactly, and you know what? Even if you're not single, it's totally fine too. I can't believe that that is the consensus. What do you mean? You can't believe that. It's no big deal. Look, it's the people's court.

We threw it in the hands of the listeners. The text machine disagrees, but the three listeners have taken. So, wait. For Steph, you are not guilty. You are allowed to wear the same clothes to bed. Can I make one more point? People that are like, wear PJs, wear PJs. You're wearing them way more often than I'm wearing one t-shirt to bed.

So if you're wearing the same pajama top for five nights out of the week, that's five times longer than I'm wearing one t-shirt. Case dismissed, Steph. You've been seen non-guilty. So actually, you're sweating more in your pajamas that I am. Okay. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Steph claims to have a special set of skills that's whenever I'm about to play some audio to her of a celebrity,

she'll be like, oh, I'm watching a video on my phone. She'd go, that's that person. That's sight unseen. She'll go, I know who that is. Sight unseen, yeah. From their voices, I reckon I can guess any celebrity. Yeah, so from this, I thought I'd test you live on the show, put you on the biggest stage of all.

Okay. The Ajabo is at 10 past four. Okay. I'm going to play a clip from an interview. Yeah. Various celebrities. Can Steph tell me, based on a little snippet of their voice, who it is? Okay.

If anyone out there listening thinks that I suck in is better than me, please call an 0-800-the-edge. Yeah, sure. Because I'd love to, I'd love to... Get a little bit. All right. Clip number one. Okay.

I'll start easy. We'll get harder, so hopefully you get this. She was really polite about it. Like, she smiled politely, but she didn't say anything. Taylor Swift. Yes! Correct. Taylor Swift is number one.

Yeah. Clip number two, who's this? Just in general, I think some people are just like that. Adele. Correct. Amazing. Right, strong. Two for two to start off with.

Let's get a little harder. Who's this? I actually am a very big fan of yours. I just don't watch a lot of television. Ooh. Again, please? I actually am a very big fan of yours. I just don't watch a lot of television.

Oh, God, no! I don't know. Television. Can we play it one more time? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a red herring, I'll tell you now. What? The word television. No, I can feel like I know who it is when they say television.

I actually am a very big fan of yours I just don't watch a lot of television I don't know Have a guess It's not Drew Barrymore Is it? Bruce Sam you think you know who it is What

Do you think it was that Is it Drew Barrymore Is that? No Sheenae got it She's going to call out of the edge It was Lady Gaga Oh of course

All right, who's this Of course it was Annie got it right too Well done She's the person that I'm learning To you know Love unconditionally That's quite a tough one.

These are getting hard. You back yourself, so I thought I'd make it difficult for you. The vocal fry. Yeah, but vocal fry. She's the person that I'm learning to, you know, love unconditionally. Oh, Justin Bieber. Yeah.

Oh, good for him. All right, who's this? No, my heir my... Mike McRoberts. That's hoping you get McRobots. All right, who is this? We did have a very real conversation at the very beginning. Arenda.

Yeah, it's so easy. It's Arianei. All right, who's us? I know this is going to sound crazy, but like, do you want to be in a sports drama? Ooh. Again, please? You'll kick yourself if you don't get this one.

I know also is going to sound crazy, but like, do you want to mean a sports drama? Oh, is it Adam Brody? It is Adam Brody. Wow! So the only one you didn't really get is Gaga. All right, I've got a couple more to go through. This is where it gets really difficult.

Okay, okay. Oh my God. That sounds like the way. worst drink ever oh oh oh oh again oh my god that sounds like the worst drink ever is milacunas it is me lecunas i got it's from the oh my god she's like oh my god two more she knew everything that's probably the biggest loss is you lose the person that knows everything oh australian it was not Nicole Kimman. No, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, don't want to look it in. Okay, another one. Played again?

She knew everything. That's probably the biggest loss is you lose the person that knows everything. It is Nicole Kimmer. I didn't think you get that one. Wow, Steph, all right, and finally, to round it out, can Steph name the celebrity just by hearing their voice? You are now eight for nine. Who's this? This whole last year of my life has really reminded me that I just love doing what I'm doing, even... Ooh. This whole last year of my life has really reminded me that I just love doing what I'm doing

Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Steph, you're off to Oasis tomorrow because you're obviously such a citizen band. Yeah, heading to Sydney. Got an early, got an early, got Ticket. So excited. You know me. Rock Girlie. You've called it Wonder Walls three times in the last 24

hours. My partner Jake is the big Oasis fan. I'm kind of going as moral support and I'm really just using this trip to Australia as an excuse for my birthday's on Monday. So I'm going to, I'm going shopping. I'm going shopping with a tad of concert on the side. It's a good place to shop. Sydney's great shops. Yeah. The credit card is going to have fun paying off the credit card. when I get back, not so fun. But look, I am travelling with an 18 month old. And so, okay, we booked

just us originally, just my partner Jake and I is like a weekend away, like fuel away from the kid, let's give ourselves a break kind of vibes back in February. Fun. And then now that Rocco is a bit older, he's quite hard. He's quite

difficult at the moment. He's heavy. He is on the move a lot. and no one really wants to look after him to be honest As I'm hearing you say this I'm like what's encouraging you to take this child with you but it's the lack of options We have no choice

Why wouldn't you, I'll look after him Okay How would you look after an 18 month old What do they eat for dinner? I don't know what does he like? No tell me what do you think an 18 month old eats for dinner What's his Maca's order? Exactly

Damn it Is that the wrong answer Okay how well Okay What would be your morning routine with an 18 month old? iPad, whack it in front of him Angry Birds, Temple Run Yeah

So I'll put that Kids mode on Cocoa Mellon Oh my God, he loves Cocoa Mellon How did you know about Cocoa Mellon?

No I plead the fifth Yes, your favourite show So anyway He's coming with us now It's like sorry Made to be like scientifically Addictive to children

Really Like the colours and stuff Really It is There's a cocoa Melon little four-minute clip on YouTube called Peekaboo. Oh my God, gets a laugh every time. It's so good.

Literally, he's so hard. It takes two adults to get him in a car seat, truly, and a screen. But anyway, so he's coming along. And my help Steph become a better parent question to you listening and you, Sean, I guess, is how do I travel internationally with an 18-month-old? Yeah. And it's tomorrow. So I'm running out of time.

I've got a few toys that he's never seen, which should excite him. it's like a midday flight so hopefully he's a little bit drowsy and tired he's not going to be like as fidgety I've got a bottle and take off and landing for the airs situation and I've got lots of snacks so what else should I do?

Well you talked a while ago about how he went to his first birthday party and you loaded up on sugar and just went berserk and then crashed afterwards what I'd recommend you do he's not sleeping tonight like we're keeping him up and we give him no sleep tonight and we're

We're giving him theory bread. We're giving him lollies. We're giving him sugar. Run, Rocco, run. Run. Run around the lounge. Then you're keeping him awake. Don't shake him.

Don't shake a baby. But like, nudge him. Keep him awake. And then tomorrow when he gets on the flight, boom, he is out, man. He'll sleep for 13 hours. Carrying right through customs. It'll be great.

Wow. Okay. All right. I'll write that one down. What could be some other options, though? Lie to him. My parents lied to me a lot growing up. I used to only eat broccoli because mom would say it's little trees.

and that worked really well for me. So I'd say something to him along the lines of, Rocco, this plane's not going to take off fella unless you sit still and fall asleep or something like that. You don't fully get things like that. Okay, he doesn't understand it? Nah, nah.

Bit slow. No, I just... He's really advanced, actually. He's actually way ahead of his time, actually. Well, I've talked about this before when you flew domestically, the unaccompanied minor thing. They're in New Zealand especially take care of them so well. So what I'd do is I'd check him in

as a solo travelling child. Let your staff just look after him. and then I'd go check myself on at the back of the plane. And then if he's crying throughout the flight, you just, you disassociate to it. You go, who's kids that? Crazy. And then you get to the airport and you go get him.

Yeah, that's not a bad shout, except he doesn't have a seat. He has to be sitting on my lap for four hours. Doesn't he? Yeah, nah. What a cheap scale. He's under two, yeah. But that could be an option for next time.

Pretend to have a medical emergency. Oh, now we're talking. So if you pretend to have a medical emergency, nothing serious. No. But just something enough that you need. need to be taken to a larger area. Yeah. They might upgrade you and then provide someone to look after a rocker.

Okay. I like that one more. Maybe. You can't get too serious with it because they might do an emergency landing. We've just had Halloween. I could get some fake blood and then pretend I've got a nosebleed. Perfect. Oh, you've nailed it. That's exactly what you've got to do. Good luck for the trip, Steph. Thanks for the brainstorm. Appreciate it. Can you use any of those ideas? No.

Every Wednesday for roughly 40 weeks We've asked for your loose degrees of separation To the great Stan Walker Last week we thought we might have to put the segment to bed But then it was resurrected by a couple of listeners Who came through with some great yarns Yeah, and wow, this week We've been inundated with people wanting to save the segment

With their Stan Walker stories Hallelujah! It's like when you have, you know someone who's a bit older And they have a health crisis Oh, it's not like that at all. No, it is, it is. And then they get a new leaf. on life. And they turn their life around. They go, oh, living is amazing. That's what's

happened with degrees of Stan Walker. Realised how great it was. We're about to hear a few incredible Stan Walker stories. Remember, the more levels that we have to go through, the better degrees. So let's start with Maddie from Christchurch. Maddie, what is your Stan Walker story, please? I had a cousin who was on the X factor like 10 years ago, and Stan was one of her mentor? No, name-dropper. Who was it? It was my cousin Sally. Sally. I don't remember Sally. Was she in a group? She got sent home pretty early, but... I remember Stan Walker being on the... He tried to stay on.

Yeah, great. Well, she must have been great. Because he was on the same panel as like the Willie Moon and then Natalia Kill's controversy. Oh, you was. I remember that. Because then he was like, well you don't invent your look clear patron i was like yes stan can't believe it's our first expector related story yeah true all right mattie great great story to start us off let's go to aleck next to norcland a stan walker story please i guess i actually found this up very recently but my friend's dad um works with somebody whose son saw him at new world um can you dial it back and tell us how that conversation went so he's gone Well, I was actually talking to him.

I was like, he was sitting in the car on last week, Wednesday, and we were listening to The Edge. And I was telling him, oh, this is the segment that they talk about Stan Walker things. And he's like, oh, really? My dad's like boss or friend's son, saw him at New World. I was like, oh, is there a photo? He's like, no, no, he was like with family or something. But, yeah, I was like, how long ago did this happen?

I was like, I don't know. It's not very, I don't know the kid. Alec, this is a perfect story. no details. It was your friends, dad's, co-worker, sons. We've got four degrees of separation there. It's just such a nothing story and I love that. It's going to be hard to be, in all honesty. No, it's exactly what we're after. Ella, sorry, Alek you wait there. Let's go to you, Ella.

Tough competition. What's your Stan Walker story? So one of my friends from school's mum and dad used to live next door to him. I think they actually might still live next door to him. Great. I love a lack of detail. I love a lack of like full knowledge. Perfect. So you kind of loosely know someone who may or may not still live next to him. But you've never seen it. No, I've never seen it.

How tight are you and your high school friend these days? Oh, not so much these days. We still catch up for a coffee now and then. Perfect. Perfect. If it was your best friend, then the story would get worse. Not as good? Not as good.

You're not even in touch anymore. Perfect. No, we're not. No, a coffee here and there. That's exactly the right answer. All right, guys. We've got Maddie, whose cousin was on X-Factor 10 years ago, and Stan was Maddie's cousin's mentor.

Yeah. We've got Alec, whose friend's dad was... Friends dad's co-worker. Was working with someone whose son saw him a new world, but didn't get a photo. And Ella, whose friend, who she kind of knows still from high school, but not really used to be, or not so sure, maybe still as neighbours were pumped.

You know, God, these are so good, Steph. I don't know who to give it to. Well, I think we go with the most degrees. Ella, you were close, but I think Alec. Alex, congratulations. Thank you guys. Incredible. Speech!

Speech! I just like to thank my friend's dad's co-worker's son for making this all happen. Amazing. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. I hear some stats out of a study in a mirror. about adult friendships and how quickly we're losing them.

So over the last decade's death. Oh, Grim. Yeah, a bit grim, bit grim, hey. Hey, here's a hot and sexy song about tell us his boyfriend's wang, and then, actually, guys, we won't have any friends left, so. Precision to Sam, don't point at me and go, you've lost all your friends. You're like, your whole personality for this last six months has been helped me find friends.

That's so true. Or maybe me seeing this study has made me feel more related to, because, yeah. I'll be honest, I've lost a lot of friends to overseas travel and stuff, but this is crazy, right? So over the last decade, apparently the average adult has lost nine friends. It's gone down about one a year. This is drastic. The average adult, according to the study in America, has three to four friends. Oh, okay.

So like close circle, very tight group. Three to four friends is the average. How many close friends that people have? So it declines over time, like you have a big group at school and then you've got less and less and less and less. and the average adult has about three friends. And honestly, I think I've got two. You're not including me in that, are you? I've got one.

Yeah, that's more like... Sam, not you? I think Harrison's my mate. No, I mean, outside of work colleagues and stuff, I think I've got two, like, good friends. Okay. And then I've got other mates, like acquaintances, but two like friends if I needed to talk to.

Brad, I met. Yeah? Brad is the exact same person as you, Sean. It's like, it's crazy how similar you guys are. Who's the other one? Oh, I've got a friend called Matt, but he lives over. sees as well. Okay, never met Matt. How many friends do you have done? I've got another friend called Matt. He looks down and sees the rug on the floor. His name's Matt.

First thing that came to his wife. I don't think Matt is everybody. Oh, uh, uh, uh, Fern. Rubber plant. Uh, coffee mug. Go on then. How many friends do you have, Mrs. Friendship? So my close circle is a bit more than that, but not by many. So it's a high school group and there's six of us. Two of us live overseas. Four of us in Auckland. But everyone's kind of rotated. People have been away at different times. But at the moment, there's two overseas, four here and six in total.

Well, interesting, that's what the study gets into, that, like, the main reason friendships fade is actually, is distance. So it's not just busy life and kids and stuff. It's people moving overseas. I just don't think that could be an excuse these days, with voice notes, FaceTime. Who's doing that? My group.

You are? Yeah. How often are you FaceTiming your friend in London? Actually, I should be doing away more often Not often enough Reminder for everyone Because I'm the same I think of this mate I've got overseas

He lives in London And I'm like, I never really Maybe the odd tag in a funny Instagram thing Or like a message every hour of month We've got a good group chat Yeah, group chat pops off But that's not as personal, is it Anyway, and the ones who are losing friends

The fastest, interestingly enough, Gen Zs Apparently one thing happens With like Gen Zs and they're like, nah, done they just cut people out they're just not having a bar of it whereas like millennials and the generations going up are a little more lenient

you'll give people a few more chances Gen Z's are like nah you've scorned me we're done I wonder what that's about maybe maybe us millennials we're so keen to be liked and like quite people pleasing but I think

Gen Z it's no boundaries a lot more than we do like in a good way like they won't stand for crap yeah they've been brought up in a world where we're literally killing Earth, you know, and they're like, why are we killing Earth? They'll send food back. Yeah, they won't stand for crap.

So I feel like maybe, yeah. You're right, millennials are very like, like, if you think about millennials, we were brought up on Bebo, we were ranking friends, we were giving out love to one person every day. We grew up in MySpace where it was all about how, Facebook, all about how many friends you could have. Yeah. That's not the case these days. It's like, it's like close.

It's like close friends. the green ring on your Instagram. It's all very, like, insular, very small. So we've just been brought up differently. So there you go. I think maybe this is a little all insight for you. Yeah. Or study.

Maybe you could go and reach out to your friends overseas. Yeah. Spam that group a little bit. But if you need a new friend, Sean is still looking. Seems needy. I am, but it seems needy. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.

Now, I live in an apartment building, which I think... Yeah, penthouse. Well, it's not. It's high up there, but it's not, you guys say it's a penthouse. You know, when you go into a lift at a hotel and stuff like that, and you see the letter's P-H where all the numbers are, but you can't click it because your swipe card won't let you because it's the penthouse.

That's Sean's swipe card. I'm sure the swipe card works on it. Well, yeah, not entirely true, but it is. It's a high-up apartment in Auckland City. And now I understand that for a lot of people listening around the country, that's like not, that might be like kind of gross lifestyle to some people, apartment living. And it's got its pros and cons.

Like, I love it. because every day in my life feels like when you're kind of staying at a hotel and it's got its benefits and cons like the pros of it are right in the city all the time I walk to work very close noisy cons is that it's noisy

yeah we open the doors up at the moment because it's getting warmer at night every morning we're woken up every single morning at 5.30 in the morning we're woken up by a garbage truck that slams down a skip about 100 meters from our house and we just dozh it wakes us up

and every morning we think we're going to die and then we go oh it's just the garbage truck back to sleep Every single day. But then the other benefit of it is it's like, oh, fun. It's like we're in a hotel. But how is it like a hotel? Because it looks like a hotel.

Because it's small. And you're in the city. And we, you know, you don't have to, we save a lot on petrol and stuff. So we love it. It works if you've got the kind of lifestyle for it. So like, for example, tonight I'm going to do some stand-up comedy. The comedy club that I do stuff at is 200 meters from my house. I'm walking to that.

I'm doing a DJ gig this weekend. I can walk to that as well. Great view. Great views. You can see the Sky Tower. The Harbour Bridge. You got a social lifestyle in the city, it's good. Anyway, I don't know.

I'm not trying to pitch apartment living in Auckland to you if you're on a beautiful farm out in Temaru or something. I'm sure it's even nicer than that. Yeah, but they've got the cocks of waking them up. Waking them up. Sorry? They've got the cocks making them up. The roosters.

You can get that anywhere. Oh, the roosters. You can't get that anywhere. I really butcher that gag. Okay. What I was going with this, though, is I think I've reached my end with apartment living because my partner's genie, my fiancé, her office has moved buildings and they've moved to what could only be described as the closest possible building

to our apartment building. Oh, great for her. It's amazing for her. She's like rolling out of bed 15 minutes before she needs to be at work. Incredible. She's walking across the way. But today, I was sitting outside on my balcony. once again

one of the highlights of apartment living I've got a good view getting the sun and having my morning coffee she texts me and goes

hey I see you out there is it that close yeah well it's like far enough away that she'd have to like really look but she is

eye level for my like think my balcony faces her work building it's the only one it does and her desk at her work building

looks out that window like she didn't have to go oh I'm going to stand up go to the other side of the building and see if I can see Sean, she just looked up from her desk and goes, oh, I see Sean having his coffee.

There he is, right there. And then I told you, yesterday it was quite sunny. I'm in an apartment. I didn't want to smoke up the place. I had some saucies. I wanted to cook for lunch. So I cooked them out on the barbecue. Yeah.

And she texted me and goes, why are you barbecuing for lunch? Oh my God. What's happening? Well, it's like you've got a stalker, but she's her fiancé. It's kind of exciting. We used to go stalking apartment buildings at night. And we used to drive around. And a lot of people staying in hotels and stuff, don't close their curtains.

And they leave the car. lights on so we used to take binoculars and drop around and try and spy on people. You creep. What were you hoping to see? Sex. No, I don't know. Well, that's it, isn't it? Why else you're hoping to see? I'm joking. I'm joking. I never did that. I don't think you are. You did that. Because that's not the first time you've said it. It's the first time you've said it on here. It's not the first time you've said it.

You have no proof. Okay, anyway, don't know what I have a point with this is. The point is I now, yeah, I feel like minimal privacy I had has been taken away from me. What time will you be out there tonight? Okay. We're done with this. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.
