Enjoy. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. All right, guys, you've got Christmas party season approaching. Silly season, it is right around the corner. If not, maybe it's really started in your workplace. We've got our massive company-wide party on Thursday night. Massive.

After the show. Massive party. Huge. So I'm thinking what. What I'll do is I'm going to help the people out there who are about to embark in a Christmas party to pretend to be smarter than you normally are. Because at a Christmas party, you're conversing,

you're making new friends maybe with people that you only really talk about shop you talk, work with normally. But we're going to break the ice and we're going to, I'm going to teach you some stuff that you can bring up organically at the Christmas party. And then everyone's going to be blown away by how intelligent you are. and it's a great kind of way to create conversation. Oh my God.

See, this is great. I haven't worked for like a big office corporation before. This is my first big Christmas party. Yeah. So I'm actually going to talk to people. Oh, okay. So this, I do actually need this. I've got some tidbits.

Make him think that you're really smarty. Impressive people at your Christmas party. So how do you want to roll this out? Harrison and I are just... Thank you. It's real clever, that little jingle. Thank you so much. Yeah.

It's a real high-level stuff. Harris and I are just having a chat like we're at a work party, and you're just going to come over and pitch us the thing. Is that how we're going to do it? Yeah, okay. We can try that way, sure. All right. It's all right.

It's all shame about Margaret, eh, man. Those layoffs are real tough. John, I know. She kind of deserved it. She had it come in with, you know, the smack that she was talking around the office behind people's back and stuff. Hey, guys. Hey, it's me, Steph.

Hey, sorry to interrupt. I hope you weren't talking about anything too grim. I'm going to tell you something. I love your sneakers. They're Adidas, right? But Dr. Madden's. Oh, sorry. You're minor Adidas.

Oh, yeah. Sorry, that's what I meant. I'm Sean. That's Harrison. I love Adidas. Does you know why Adidas is called Adidas? No idea. Oh, let me briefly explain to you.

It's because of its founder's first name and surname from Germany, Adolf, Dasler. So Addie is his nickname And then Das is the first bit of his last name And then he was a cobbler He was a shoemaker in Germany back in the 20s And that's how he made the brand So Hitler made those shoes Well no

Same first name Same first name Isn't that so interesting No that's an interesting fact Thanks much to drink Do you guys like Pepsi? What are you guys drinking? I don't have fizzy drinks

You're not allowed fizzy drinks I don't have them nah Why? Not good for me Okay well let me explain because if, like, if you were drinking a fizzy drink, maybe it would be a Pepsi. And can I explain to you why Pepsi's called Pepsi? I'm drinking a Coke.

They'd rather Coke if they did have to pick one. All the way back in 1893, there was a pharmacist who invented it. And actually, it comes from the word dyspepsia, which means indigestion. So it's a drink that helps you with indigestion. Sure, did you know, that Coke actually used to be a medicine, and then it turned to a fizzy drink? Oh, that's a cool fact. I don't know that. Those are both interesting facts.

I mean, we're both drinking beers, so I don't... Hey, here's a question. Do you guys drive Toyotas? Because I know why Toyota is called Toyota. God, I hate Toyotas. Racist. I don't mind Toyotas. Well, yeah.

Well, let me explain. Because Toyota's actually a Japanese brand. And the name Toyota was a family name, Toyota, with a D. But in order to be more lucky in Japanese... writing called Katakana they use 8 strokes in Toyota with a T

so that's why they changed it Kawaing Anyway, here Margaret gets out of hospital I don't have to get some food Okay bye Can I come Great to meet you Sally

Steph Sure it is It's gone Sorry I'm gonna go get some food as well Okay well That was So that's kind of the vibe is it Oh no you're gonna do that

As a Christmas party, yeah Okay, drop the Hitler one Straight off the bat Don't talk about that at the Christmas party? It's terrible Okay, cool So, sorry, your pictures You can move on

Jump into conversations Yes, and explain why things are called The things that they're called I'd rather know about you as a person Oh, really? Yep Then big brands, personally Okay, well, to work on

I think it's good I think there's something there I reckon every day that's week Leading out of the Christmas party You need to test these Okay On the show? On the show?

Ice breakers, different ice breakers. Okay, okay. Okay, Kingie hated it. So she's for that text. But okay, cool, cool, all right, we'll work on it. Yeah, Kingie's not going to a Christmas party. Yeah, no, no, Kingie's going to be joining you at the buffet and trying to escape me. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.

The Edge. Guys, I went out to Hawks Bay this weekend. Back in the Bay, Seema Fano, went to this wine festival. Well, pretty fun Yeah, that sounds fun It's just like a concert And then a heat stalls around We just drink wine all day

Is it one of those ones Where you've got to spit the wine out again Or can you drink it You can just drink it I drink it It's like a wine tasting Oh okay You paid for it

Yeah Yeah yeah Yeah so it's not like a Yeah All you can drink I love those Because it's just like a bunch of mums Just getting steamed

It's like there It's like they're a year Like one night A year quota that they're allowed to just like have as many wines as they want. Well, it started at 11 and finished at 5. Yeah, perfect. It finished at 5.

Was it a hot day? Boiling. Oh, that would have been messy. I was tucked into the beta 8. It was pretty good. It was pretty messy day. But then the next day, I promised my niece that I'd take her for a driving lesson. She's 16 now.

And she's sitting her license this week. And so I was like, you know what? Why don't I, aren't you, I'd tell you for a driving lesson? and we can just like, you can just take me to McDonald's because I'm hung over. Yeah, great. Get us a breakfast.

I'll show you a breakfast. And so I go pick her up, bring her around. I'm like, all right, let's go, hop in the car, let's see how this goes. Hop to the car, forget to seep out. Straight away.

That's not weird. Oh, her name's India, by the way. Oh, India. Just seatbelt on. She's like, oh, yeah, it's right. First rule that is. How do I even say this?

It was shocking. Oh, is she listening? Oh, not the car I don't know I don't know It just wasn't very well She wasn't very good And I said how long

Harrison trying to find a polite way to say Incessantly what she wasn't very good And I was just like how long has your mum been teaching How many lessens have you head She goes oh we do like three a week How many weeks? The last six weeks Oh she's trying so hard

Yeah I don't know I don't really trust her mum anymore It's pretty insane You try really like she was going like So slow This is no joke she was driving so slow I hopped out of the car

and walked next to her how slow she was going No, that can't be true I promise you, I'm like India, look at this I'm walking fast in you aren't I sorry uncle, sorry uncle I'm like yeah well be good be better and I hop in

foot of lead hooning around the block I'm like India just relax a little bit and I'm feeling queasy I've got like the shakes I'm sweating because I'm just like

The wine festival The wine festival Yeah gotcha Not feeling good And then we're like So we're still gonna get to McDonald's At the end, I was like, oh, India, actually, I got to a point, but I hopped out and we swapped them and we drive back home. I was like, she can't drive.

She's not driving. She didn't even get McDonald's. I was pretty gutted. And my niece is an embarrassment with the driving community. Well, she is. But guys, I didn't tell it. I thought she goes, oh, Uncle Harry. So, my driving test is on Monday.

Today? Yeah, four o'clock. Oh, shoot. That's really sad. She's definitely waiting in the car right now listening to this. She'll listen to it She's going to her driving test In 14 minutes

She said like So do you reckon I'll be ready I'm like Babe I'm so proud of you You're gonna do this license First time round She's not guys

But I didn't have the gas To tell her She's not gonna get it Well hey she's probably listening now So why don't you give her Some words of encouragement Like you got this Like

Hey India Driving not for everybody It's good to do public transport It's very good The biking's very economical. Don't forget to put your seatbelt on. And remember, you do have to see out all of the mirrors. Because she kind of just flipped all the mirrors out the way.

She's a little distracting. So she moved her out the way. I was like, no, no, make sure you can see out them. Okay. Okay, maybe it's a good thing if she does fail. And then she just doesn't. Actually, yeah. And if you're in the car right now with the driving instructor, mate,

fail her now. It's for your own good. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. So this morning, I open my fridge and I said that there's a thing of mints in there that we should have used the other day. And I'm like, damn it, okay, forgot to use the mints. So I get it out and I check the expiry date and it says the 23rd of November.

I'll still cook that. Yeah, well, we will tonight. But the thing about the 23rd of November is I'm like, oh, that's one of my best friend's birthdays. I'm like, I don't know what the date is this morning, truly, I don't. And so I'm like, oh, is it over expiry day? Does it kill his birthday? Like, where are we at? And so I checked the date.

I'll get out my phone and I'm like, oh, no, it's the 24th today. And then I panic. And then I go into Facebook and I go into my friend's profile and it says, her name, birthday yesterday. You know what tells you? Facebook tells you. And I'm like, no, this is the first time ever. I think I've missed someone close to me's birthday.

And I am so angry at myself of forgetting. Like I was up to not much yesterday. You know, like, I had all the time in the world to flick someone in a message. Yeah, you weren't even busy. I wasn't busy. I just forgot. And so I get up my phone and I quickly message her. And I'm like, I feel like the worst person ever.

I wish you the happiest birthday is yesterday. I hope you had a lovely day yesterday. And I can't wait for our, you know, we're going to catch up later this week for dinner. So I'm looking forward to that. And then she writes back and she's like, you're not the only one that forgot. And I'm like, oh, no, we're such bad friends. Like, I just felt terrible. So this is where I need to.

ask my friends, you guys, you listening as well, what are some fail-proof ways to never forget a birthday ever again? Well, like you're talking to the experts, I don't know about Harrison, but I can speak for myself. I've forgotten so many birthdays over the years.

That doesn't shock me with you, Sean. So many. I've gotten better at it as I've gotten older. You sometimes figure your own mother's birthday until the very end of the show one time. You're like, it's like 7 o'clock. You're like, oh, I haven't messaged my mum. Bad boy. That is bad. Bad. I meant that was bad. So I've come up with some ways. And Harrison, I don't know if you've

forgotten many birthdays. I never forget a birthday. Okay, great. Okay. Well, I need to know these techniques that you guys use. Great. Well, I don't have any techniques for not forgetting. What I do is techniques for when you forget, how to save it. Like, what I'd like to do is say, oh, I was just testing to see how needy you are as a friend and see if you were going to message me. But you haven't. So amazing. Great. You've passed. No, but why would they message you on their birthday? How needy are you? How much do you need me? And they've got... I think that's going to be taken quite negatively, I reckon.

Yeah. Yeah. This is a classic thing that my mother used to do is in our pantry. She had this big paper cutout of everyone's name, everyone phone number

and everyone's birthday. Cute. And so now, genuinely, all my contacts are blah, blah, blah, birthday. And your pantry?

No, on my phone. Oh. You've got everyone's birthday next to their name? Yes. Do they say the name and the birthday next to it?

Really? Easy hat. How does that help you though? Because you have to go through every single day and look at them all and say, who's birthday? You hope that they text on their birthday.

No, But that's what Sean was just saying, no, the birthday person's not going to message first. Yeah, okay, okay. If you miss someone's birthday, go, oh, I got you the sick present, but it was delayed tripping, and I didn't want to come and say happy birthday without the present. So I've waited a day, and now it's here. Sorry, thanks, New Zealand Post for missing his birthday. Past the blame, past the blame.

Something that I genuinely do a lot, not just for birthdays, but mostly for birthdays, is find out later the next day and literally say, oh my gosh, I typed out the whole message and I forgot to send it. just say that I'm so sorry but here's the message below could let type out of message send it

that's what you do I've done that before with the emails being like oh I'm so sorry I got lost in the outbox you should have done to your friend is in the you know that's a good one yeah okay okay all right

I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I missed it I'll never forget again do you know why because I've got your birthday tattooed on me I think that's an extreme you'll never forget my back is covered in random dates No, but if they're, if the Roman numerals, just looks like a normal tattoo.

True. Everyone's got those on their body. True. So I just do heated Roman numerals or like prison vibes. Yeah. So you've got like, you know, line, line, line, diagonal line. Yeah, for five. Yeah, I don't know how you'd notice who's birthday's who, though.

Tear drop. You've been here for a long time. Tear drop means 10. Oh, Rochelle texted in, saying my 10 year old just said one word, calendar. It's pretty simple. What's that? Set a reminder in your calendar. Oh, like the app.

Yeah. Oh. That's a good idea. The app. Everyone's saying use your phone. Is that a app? Is it a calendar or an app on your phone, is it? Wait, someone said, when you message someone

Happy Birthday, it will remember it and suggest to add it to your calendar for you. That's good. So you get a reminder. So message tonight, you go home. I've already met, yeah, I messaged this morning. No, but tonight and you message everyone happy birthday, everyone you know,

and it'll all go into your calendar. I don't think that's how it works. And the phone will sink today's everyone's birthday. I think let's just put it. to pin on birthdays. New Zealand, let's just cancel them for a bit. We'll re-grip to it. Because I can't figure it out.

I can't figure it out. Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Now, on Friday, Harrison opened up to us, and thanks again for doing that, man. I have an addiction. Really bad. I'm losing. I can't sleep because of this.

I think it's keeping me up all night. Oh, wow. I'm using so much. I've written out a message to my sister saying I can't make it this weekend. Oh, that is a problem. Because I just want to use. I don't know if you're wondering what the addiction was I'm addicted to gaming

Really? Yeah What are you playing? GTA 5 But guys, I can't put the controller down Wow A weekend's past Harrison You went back to the Hawks Bay Tried to get away from it

Removed yourself from it And I thought as friends We just wanted to touch base at you and see how you going Oh you got the shakes Look at my hands Yeah they're quiver right They don't stop They weren't doing that last second ago

They do stop I've been shaking all day. It's not true. Yeah, it's been a long weekend. Yeah, so did you use? No, no. My console's left here in Auckland. I went to Hawks Bay for the weekend.

Good job, well done. No, I couldn't sleep. I haven't slept since Thursday night. So you shouldn't go cold turkey with these things. You really should wean yourself off. Because I couldn't use on Friday because I had to drive. I used on Friday morning before I came to work. Probably inappropriate to do before work, but I had to.

Yeah. and then I had to go straight from work to Hawke's Bay so I didn't get to shoot up before I went home You don't? Oh, GTA 5? Yeah That does work Well, I had admission, sorry I had to shoot up a casino

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah But I didn't get to do that Yeah And so I just went straight home And then all the weekend And I haven't gone back to my Auckland house yet Right, so it's... I came straight to work from Hawks Bay this morning

Okay withdrawals, guys I didn't know you had this with the gaming stuff The withdrawals have been extreme You do look very kind of pale and sweety today. Skits, hey. Yeah. Skits and out, my eyes, a bloodshot, my hairs everywhere, got the shakes. Yeah, so how did your family kind of support you through this time over the weekend?

No, no, no. No, no, I couldn't tell you. You can't. Oh, do they not know? Absolutely not. Oh, no, Harrison. Why? But they'll be there for you. It's embarrassing.

I said my mum and dad, they raised me. Be a perfectly young, healthy, clean boy. But you're all those things. I'm at home, use them. Jake. You're using a PlayStation. GTAT's ruining my life, GTF-5. Derek, I want to talk about, let's talk about video games

because I wonder if you can get anyone to have met right now. Let's talk about it. Let's do the rest of the show about it, please. O-800 the edge. Will anyone admit that they've been so hooked on a video game? Because they are very addictive as Harrison's finding out. They have like, what have you missed for the game? Yeah, right.

Because you were very close at canceling the Rodey to the Hawks Bay because you were going for your niece's birthday. Imagine if you'd cancelled. I should have been gutter, but I genuinely was like, oh, do I stay back or do I go? You can't let... I got to a point and I'm like, yeah, I want to like game all day every day. Wow, see, this is a problem. I'm considering stepping off the shot.

Well, no, well, no. Wow. It's the GTA 5M clocked the end. I'm going to have to take some time off. To be honest, like, people's lives can be ruined by gaming. I know relationships that have ended because someone's addicted to gaming. I know people who have taken sick days for video games and live. about it to their employee. I know people who have literally...

Did you to go a clown in the office, does. What? Taking six days to game. Clara! You can't talk about it like that. She stood up, just pulling the finger at you. That's the support I need. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. And Harrison is addicted to playing a video game.

Yeah, I'm GTA 5. I've never gamed in my entire life. The last month, I can't stop gaming. Grand The Dordo. Yes, Grand The Daughter 5 The game was made in 2013 so it's quite old Is that like you get a car No, you steal a car

And then you go around and you can like kill people and things You can but you do like heists and stuff It's not so much about killing because it's like a heist and everything She really are intellectual game It's a lot more than you think about A lot of emotion and passion behind it You just said that your last mission was to shoot up a casino

You did other missions though Okay we want to know Served dinners at the city mission Not that not that No, not that. Harrison was very close to calling off a road trip to the Hawks Bay back home for his niece's 13th birthday, a big birthday. You were very close to being like, oh, I just want to stay home and game. Truly I was.

Oh, I've got a free weekend this weekend. We'll have my last free weekend for the year. But I chose her birthday instead. And we feel good about that, don't we? He's been shaking all days, cold sweats. So we want to know when did the gaming takeover. Maddie is here on 0800 the edge Hi Maddie

Hello guys Tell us about your partner So when I had to go into labour For our second child He actually had the tricks To bring his laptop So that he could game While I was waiting to give birth

All I'm saying Mattie is it can take a while The birth process can be You're there for 15 hours You can get a couple games in there Wow Squat up where we drop in What was your play? playing, Maddie. Do you know?

I have no idea. That's crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy to do that. So you're there, Maddie. Oh, yeah, that's insane. In Labor, like, the most, like, I can't eat. Words don't describe the level of pain that your body is in and the support that you need in those hours.

And he's sitting there on the laptop gaming. Yeah, and I was filming, and I was screaming to get, you know, to try to get him off the, laptop and he goes there's just one more game one more one more and yeah it got on my nerve and it's one thing that he's never getting past so yeah that's it passed a level though multiple level actually i don't know i i don't know mattie's a bit busy meddy's i'm pushing out a human being out of her parts okay how long how long did the birth take mattie how long sorry how long did the birth take like pushing the baby out well the actual active labor took a

about 10 hours. Active labour. Which is long for a second child. Maddie, Maddie, Maddie. That's ages. Maddie, my God. That's some great time for game. You can get a lot.

Imagine how many levels they could get up in that time. That's incredible to clock the game by then. That's actually quite good for him. You guys had time to do that stuff. That's something to do, didn't he? It's a couple. You were busy, he was busy.

There's nothing wrong with that. A bit of a long time. That's insane. Maddie, all my respect to you. Everyone bow down to Madie. Madie is an absolute agent. Hey, and the partner. No.

Because that's hard to sit through that in game two. Have you ever tried to play a video game on a laptop and a hospital chair? It's not the easiest place to play. Kirstie's the same. I was induced with my first on my partner would announce at the phone when my water's broke, eventually got hold of him after 30 minutes for text, ringing and even a message on PlayStation Network

still have the message on their lol. He was too busy playing Fortnite. Yeah, we'll leave the headphones on and stuff. I could get that, it can be distracting. And Kirstie, can you follow up and let us know, did he get the double knot on that one? It depends, that makes it. That's a lot of info we're missing.

Earth your own children, bellows. See how you like it. Your Arvos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. So Harrison is wearing the darkest sunglasses I've ever seen. Speed dealers. Yeah. Hey guys, I'm Harrison.

Hi Harrison. Hi Harrison. I'm changing. You're changing? I'm changing. As you notice, for most of the show, you listeners haven't, but you guys have, I haven't been wearing sunnies in here. No, normally you have orange sunglasses that you like wearing.

These orange ones with like a brown rim. You're not really sunny They're kind of in between sunnies And glasses They're like a blue lighty kind of Yeah Light tinty thing So today I haven't worn them

Trying to push it out But I've had to put these speed dealers on now It gives me headaches in here Oh the lights are quite intense The lights are intense in here But the first thing you saw me You probably thinking Where is his glasses?

I thought Harrison looks great today You know he wears the Oh really Yeah I thought you look great today Without the glasses I thought you looked awful Yeah thank you Sean

And that's the honesty I want You know I've got ginger curly here in these kind of yellow lens glasses. That's my look, you know? But they're gone, guys. What happened? I was at the wine festival in the weekends. Yeah.

Went to Hawksbay, went to a wine festival. Enough said. So many bad things have come out of this wine festival that you're into. And I can't take these glasses off though. People go to me, like, I saw a guy in Australia recently. He shook my hand and goes, mate, there's the coolest glasses I've seen. I've always tried to find prescription glasses just like those.

I can see fine. They're not prescription. No. But I'm doing a point of, I'm like, oh, yeah, man. I get, like, spec savers of them for me. Like, I lie about it. I tell people that prescription now. That's how often I wear them.

As a glasses wear myself, when I first met, I was actually quite gutted to find out that your glasses are performative and not real. It's not to say your, what's it, what's it, culture vulture? Is that what you call it? I don't know what that is. Oh, so, like, you're encroaching on the bad eyesight's community. Oh, yeah. Oh, right.

I didn't know that was a thing. Why's a disability? But there's a styley, though. You can get more stylish ones, Sean. Yeah, I could get more stylish ones. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, probably. Well, you could get the fine coloured lens, couldn't you?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you haven't. No. But your ones aren't actually to see the just aesthetic. Just to see, yeah, to see more bright colours. Anyway, I'm at this wine festival. Go to the bathroom.

Yeah. Big line for the bathroom. Finally getting in there. I'm looking down. Someone's done a number. Is this a port-a-loo or a normal bathroom? It's kind of like a bathroom trailer that you walk upstairs and do it.

Yeah, yeah, it's like the VIP port-lou. Yeah, yeah. Nice, very nice. Well, we all use the same toilet. No sections. You think Harrison is rolling VIP at the Hawks Bay wine? Nah. He's rolling in his own toilet.

Nice one, Steph. And he's been a bit of number in there, number two in there. All right? And so I'm looking down, a couple wines deep. I'm wee-in. Two-story, my glasses fall off into Mount Turd And I let it rain

Oh Over the sunnies And I'm just watching Go no Why don't you stop midstream You can't stop Wait can't stop Wait can boys not stop

No No not really It just kind of expands Like a balloon into a tap You know like it's bad It's bad And so I was like what do I pick them up

Went to the basin Put the money and just rinse them off a bit Yeah, great Got a hands out No, but they've been covered in someone else's shirt Yeah In my piss It's disgusting

I go out, I start wearing them I'm like, ooh There's a bit of a stench to them I get back To the house No word of a lie Bit of an itchy eye There's so much

And quiet itchy So they're currently now At my house in a hawks bay Sitting in a bowl of boiling water Because I need them back I don't think it's boiling now, babe, so I think it was probably boiling at the time. Oh, yeah, no, but I boiled it this morning, then drove there, so, like, that's probably cold now. Yeah, oh, yeah, okay.

But I'm about to, like, what do you go? Sterilize the glasses. Got you, got, to go. Yeah, wow. That's commitment to still wearing them, eh? Yeah. Covered in someone else's feces and your ways. Yep.

That's kind of the end of the story. I don't know why that's insane. Do you reckon, like, once it's sanitised and, like, it's been some time to, like, anti-smell? Do you think you'll pop them back on? 100%. I don't know what the boiling water is going to do to them. Might get the paint off, maybe pop the lenses, but... I think you put it in a bowl of rice, don't you? Is that what you do with...

No, that's like... To get fecesy out of glasses. I should have done that. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. And we're joined right now by one of our favourite Kiwi artists, Kaylee Bell, ladies and gentlemen. Yay!

Yeha! Welcome, Kaylee. Busy year for you, mate. Jeez, you've been everywhere. Yeah, it's been a bit like that. I just feel like the last few weeks alone have been kind of like the cool of whole year sort of wrapped up but we've done some really cool stuff this year like I feel like I started the year with the baby

and I've ended it with a Christmas song somewhere this is probably pretty horrible to admit but how stoked were you when jelly roll got cancelled because you had a show on the same night and you sold the heck out of that venue as soon as jelly roll I mean something people might have seen I got to sing with him in Australia

and it was on the cards for New Zealand so I'm actually kind of sad does he really sick yeah that schedule was pretty hectic we got to just do a little little snippet of that schedule and I can see how he got sick. It was full on. Like we flew from Perth straight into Wellington

like no sleep for a show and he was kind of doing those sorts of crazy things too so yikes. But I did feel sad. I did feel sad for the fans, you know, they were right there. The gates were almost over. I mean the country community is a beautiful tight net growth. And everyone celebrates each other which is really

beautiful. Now let's celebrate your new Christmas song because oh my God it's so good. But we were just having a conversation. It's called Wake me up when it's Christmas time. When the sleigh bells come in, you're like, oh my God, yeah, it's, it's Christmas time. It had to have sleigh bells. It had to. Like, it wouldn't feel right. No, it's criminal, right? Yeah, yeah. And I wanted to do something up. Like, I think a lot of covers that you hear of new Christmas songs are like quite slow and down and it was like, nah, it feels like a type of year that we just need some like

joy and something upbeat in the world. It's a beautiful song. Now, I don't want to challenge a creative, The integrity of the lyrics, we were talking about how kind of, we think the lead-up to Christmas is actually the best time. So you were to be woken up on Christmas time. You really miss out a large portion of it. Well, I've ever missed that, haven't I? No, you're not saying wake me up on Christmas Day. You're saying when it's Christmas time, which I think is the weeks before Christmas. I was such, yeah.

I feel like you've nailed it, though. The lead up to Christmas is the thing. And growing up in a small town, like Christmas Eve was always the thing. And like the whole town goes to the pub. The bagpipes coming. through the pump and the shuts at midnight. So everyone's home, early to bed. It's like a win-win. Yeah, I don't think this is discredited

in your song at all. Christmas kind of sucks. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day sucks. I agree. No, it's the lead-in, right? Yeah. That's what everyone likes the height. And the day comes and it's over, you know. Like, oh, I did get that thing that I didn't want. Yeah, see, it's a miserable day. And all the family starts fighting and bickering

and your mum's like, I've taken three hours to make this. And then, you know, it's just... Too much pressure, right? Yeah. It's just a lot. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Wake me up when it's Christmas.

Now, we have a Christmas game. We'd love to play with you, Kaylee, Bout. We're going to give you two Christmas song options. Ooh. And then as we go through the rounds, you're going to pick your favourite. Okay. And then the remaining favourite will battle all the new versions.

Okay. So obviously you've written a Christmas song, a big fan of Christmas songs. Oh, yeah. Okay, let's start up for the couple pop, pop Christmas anthems. Ariana Grande. Santa Tell Me or the Bebes, Mistletoe. Oh, Missilever.

Yeah, Chironay, got to be. Wow. Controversial. Missletoe or Snoopy's Christmas, a classic. Oh, God, yeah, okay, okay. I kind of hate it, though, because I've heard it so many times. I'm sticking with Missletoe for now. What about another classic, Last Christmas by Wham or Missletoe?

Oh, last Christmas. It kills me. Wow. All right, Last Christmas or Mariah Carey? Harrison's not impressed. I like the last Christmas. I've never got mistletoe out. Missile toes in June.

Okay, last Christmas wham or Mariah Carey. No, Mariah all day, baby. She is Christmas, isn't she? Mariah or Bariah or this B-side Christmas tune from Britney Spears in the year 2000, my only way. Brittany did Christmas? I do know this song. Nah, Mariah.

Okay, still Mariah. Sticking by it. Mariah or this song here How can you not love this song? It evokes so much emotion It's the most wonderful time Oh no

Nah Did you watch Alan? Yes You know she's the 12 days of goaways And they'd come out to this I was going to say Yes Was it a big dancing snowman

Is that what came out? It was a reindeer's death A reindeer sorry I kind of miss Alan I actually even watched her in New York recently It was cool Yeah

Anyway Mariah Still Mariah All right Mariah I think it Because it also reminds me of love

actually, which is the greatest movie of all the time. Do you do like Christmas, eh? I love Christmas. Mariah or Ed Shearing and Elton John. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm going to go with Ed and Alton because this is like the best new Christmas song I've heard in a long time.

And I love that like they didn't know what to call it and they were like, do we just call it Merry Christmas? And they're like, no, there'll be a million songs called Merry Christmas. And then they went to look and they're like, there's not a single song called Merry Christmas. All right, finally, though, Merry Christmas, Elton John and Ed Shearan, or Christmas Tree Farm by Taylor Swift, a song that you've covered. It's not Taylor's best work. It's not Taylor's best work.

What is this on Christmas tree farm? She was, she wrote it. She was bored up on a Christmas tree farm. Oh, okay. Pennsylvania or something, right? This is actually Kaylee singing it right now. Wow. Is it?

This is you singing it. You don't like it. You're choosing somebody. I mean, we're talking about the greatest song of all time here. It's got to be Ed and Elton. All right. Yeah. You go, Kaylee Bell's best Christmas song.

And best humans. Edshire and Elton, John. Have you met them both? I have not met Elton, but I would love to meet Elton. Because I really love how he, like, he picks up other artists. Like, he raises them up. He's like, he's not, like, done and bitter. Like, he wants to see, you know, stuff come through.

And he's a big, you know, advocate for new music. I love him. Beautiful. Kiwis as well. I think he's had, like, Benny and Marchu on his. radio show. He's very aware isn't he? He's like globally aware which you couldn't say that about every

artist. True. I feel like there's tea here but we won't be filling it today. I think artists that age a lot of them don't want to big up the young artists. No they don't and he honestly goes out of his way and I think him and I mean obviously we've met Ed and Ed is like my favourite human I've met in a long time in terms of the industry so I'll always

have good things to say about him as well. Yay well go in download it, stream it by it, wake me up then it's Christmas time, brand new from Kay. But also don't. Like, wake me up now. I want to do the read-up. Some proceeds of every single purchase goes to an incredible cause. Yeah, I think it's important to obviously give back at Christmas. We were in Starship at the start of the year with my baby, and I was like,

when it makes sense, I want to give back to them, and Christmas feels like the perfect time to do that. They're the best. I was that last week with my baby. So there you go. Well, well, well done. There you go. Thanks, guys. Yay. Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
