This is a podcast from Rover.
Hey, welcome to the podcast.
A big podcast today.
I've been called an asshole by a lot of listeners for leaving my girlfriend in regular cattle class.
I'll upgrade myself to a premium economy.
Turns out people are moving away from dating apps.
Steph achieved her dream.
And Harrison, um, what Harrison?
Oh, Harrison ate.
Isn't he to stop eating cheese?
Oh, yeah.
Revening stuff from me today.
Well, it was actually an interesting story.
Harrison shut down like a million-dollar.
set. Yep, because there's a stomach.
Pretty horrific. What was your
favorite moment, Steph? My favorite
moment on the show, thank you for asking
Sean, was a moment
when... Oh, hurry out then,
Jesus. I just loved it so much.
It was my favorite moment, and that's
got to be the time
on the show that we just...
I had such a fun. Okay.
I'm so tired. Hurry up.
What we're trying to do is make this podcast
intro's intro shorter and then do this long
waffly kind of thing at the end.
people who want it because some people don't want it.
Would you let me finish? Actually make my
my blood boy, hurry up, please. Okay, okay.
I'll tell everyone what my favourite bit was, okay?
Run out of time. Here's the podcast.
Okay, so chances are you're on your way to pick up
or waiting for the clock to finally tick down to knock off time.
So while you're doing that, we're going.
No offense, but.
Oh, a fence taker.
There.
A flashback all up my shirt.
And yeah, pretty much you wear.
And don't have minutes.
This is your all new.
Edge Arvots.
with Sean, Steph and Harrison
and it starts now.
Yeah, it does.
Welcome to the show, Sean, Steph and Harrison.
First of Harrison, how are you feeling, mate,
after hugging a thousand people yesterday?
Happy and tired.
Big day, guys, big days.
And I bet you guys are both tired too
because you had to like, well, I was there hugging,
but you're the salespeople, I'd say,
to get people to come over to me and hug.
Yeah, we did have to convince a lot of people.
Well, I mean, not too much.
A little bit.
Oh, what that?
You just didn't hear the convincing, I think.
Yeah, but no, I'm tired, but I'm happy.
I love yesterday.
I love crush you.
I genuinely can't wait to go back.
Me lots of cool people.
Thank you to everybody who hugged me.
How beautiful is the Southern Alps at the moment?
Oh, the snow.
Oh, the big dumpage the other day.
The big, what is it?
I don't.
I don't call something beautiful, a big dumpage.
Fifteen, 16 meters of it?
It's a beautiful.
It's a beautiful dumpage of snow.
16 meters.
Something like that.
Yeah, they couldn't open the ski fields
because there was 16 meters above the normal height.
Like the ski lifts were very much.
They had to dig out the cheer lifts, hey.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
I know.
We could see it.
It was definitely snowy when we came over there.
It's a beautiful dumpage.
Just fantastic stuff.
It's fantastic dumpage.
No, it's a technical time.
Big show today, guys.
The five-star fact.
I do this at about 3.30 every single day.
I bring a fact, and you guys rated out of five stars.
So far I've been unsuccessful after about 80.
Today,
I have a big surprise.
When it comes to the five-star fact.
What do you mean?
I don't want to ruin anything, but you two are going to be shocked.
In a good way?
In a really good way.
But not a literal way.
You're not bringing in like an electrifying device.
No, it's not an electricity-based fact, which I will shock you for.
But no, it's going to be amazing.
Got to stick around.
It's coming up in half an hour.
But first, as the phone lines are already going absolutely crazy, it is time for easy money.
Your Arvoh's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Win $10,000 right now.
with the H-10K-E-T.
Let's get into it.
She's from Gisbon.
Her dream TV show
to be on would be Master Chef.
Please welcome to the show, Janine, everybody.
Yeah, welcome, Janine.
Hey, Janine.
Hi, Janine.
What would be your, you know,
they had the Master Chef auditions
and everyone has to bring forward a dish to cook.
What would be your signature dish
that you auditioned with?
Chicken and bacon, set of cheese.
Jeannie.
Oh, the jelly and classic, Janine.
I love that.
A bit of bacon, a chook.
A bit of bacon in the air, and...
A little creamy delight.
Would you make a gluten-free option just in case...
Just in case one of the judges is gluten-tolerant, Janine?
Or you just know?
No.
Nah.
Nah.
Nah.
Oh, Janine, they've thrown a dessert,
and at the last minute.
What dessert are you going to quickly whip up in 30 minutes?
Um, let me.
Something fast.
Something fast.
A classic Spanish dish.
Oh, I'll send you a good mug cake recipe.
Have you guys ever had a mug cake?
A cup cake?
Yeah, it's like a cake that you put all the ingredients in a mug
and you put it in the microwave and it's done in like a minute and it's on a soup.
And that's why I'd suggest Janine to go and do master's just probably not Steph.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fair, fair, fair, fair.
All right, Janine, you will have 30 seconds.
your letter will be the letter
E.
E.
E for, no, elbows on the table
when you're eating.
That starts with the end.
Albows, none of them on the table.
E for EEO.
E for EO.
Yeah.
E for,
elbow.
E for EO.
Sean.
Good one, Sean.
All right, Sean.
Jeanine, you can pass whenever you like
and hopefully we'll have time to get back to it.
No repeated answers.
Harrison's our judge.
He's going to be keeping an ear out.
Ear out for that one.
Okay.
And your time will begin when I say
the first category at the end of that, okay?
End of that.
Yeah.
The end of when I say the first category.
Easy money.
Are you ready?
Ready.
Ready.
Yeah.
Janine from Gizzy with the letter E.
Please name for us a number.
A letter.
A body part
Elbow
A boy's name
Something you start

Eagle
Something loud
A character from a TV show
Something with no legs
Something in a magazine
Something expensive
I'm sorry but you only got
Devon, Janine.
Oh, so close.
You skipped something with no legs.
You could have, oh, you could see an eel.
Eel or...
Oh, you just said Eel.
You both said Eel.
He said Eel twice.
And then something in a magazine, you're going to see entertainment, Emmy winners, editorials.
But, oh, sorry, Jenny.
You honestly, you should have seen the boss's faces out there.
They were quite scared that were about to give away $10,000.
So you did it amazing.
Well done.
Well, thank you.
Amazing.
job, Janine, and amazing job.
Your Avos, hit harder with
Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
The Edge, Hugout Ganga Day.
She was about 1,0003 because three people
after the 1,000th winner and still
wanted a hug. Yeah.
So that was, you're really low-in-a-day.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
No, I said no one has to say with that.
It was a big day. It was a big day.
Big day. Sorry, I mean, I need to get a little
energy drink or something and perk up a bit.
I mean, hugging,
a few people at like a family reunion or like a get-together.
Like a few hugs is a lot.
Imagine a thousand.
Like it's a big number of hugs.
It was that vibe though.
I was kind of,
I joked about it a few times of people would have felt like a big family reunion.
Yeah.
Because everyone like, you know, they'd see my face everywhere.
They knew who I was.
They were excited.
And so I honestly felt like we know each other.
But I was like, I have no idea who you are.
Like, that's crazy.
Yeah, we're in Christchurch and it was honestly,
it was so awesome seeing everybody.
And while I've realized about hugging people,
You can't have a frown or just be neutral face when you hug.
You have to smile when you hug, otherwise it's a little bit weird.
And so to see so much happiness and so many smiles yesterday, it was like a joy.
Did you think a disproportionate amount of gingers showed up as well?
What is disproportionate?
Because I googled it.
Ginger's one in a hundred people are gingers.
I think out of 1,000 we had 100 gingers.
I think there's one.
Yeah.
There's a lot of them.
And a lot of people are hugging me stand up.
We've got ginger kids, got a ginger husband.
There's a lot of us, man.
Well, a thousand hugs and $1,000 to the person who hugged you that one thousandth time.
And we were there at the ice cream place.
Rollic in.
And it was a bit frantic because we had to pause the line because we were told that we were about to get to a thousand hugs.
And someone was about to win.
And this was the moment.
Bree.
Bree's going in for the hug.
Big squeeze.
It's Bree!
After hugging.
Wow.
Literally just Harrison.
Showing up, waiting for 10 minutes, giving him a month.
It's given him a hug, winning $1,000 she joins us on the line right now.
Bree from Christchurch, welcome.
Congratulations again.
Yeah.
Thank you so much, team.
Thank you so much.
Has it sunk in yet?
$1,000.
It's life-changing stuff.
Yeah, it is life-changing.
I did think last night maybe I could look at turning in the old resignation letter,
but I thought I'd bet it had played a bit safe,
play it a bit safe and just hold on to the money.
but yeah
it was pretty life-changing, pretty exciting
Yeah, so it's pretty incredible as well
Like how there were people who came for coffee in the morning
And if it comes to Rollerkin the evening
And people would go around like twice
People were trying to strategise
Exactly when to turn up and be in that person
You were literally there for five to ten minutes
And you won a thousand bucks
Like it was a pretty good day for you
I think the universe was very in your favour of winning yesterday
So that's pretty cool
Yeah, definitely.
I think it was definitely in my favour
because I just came for the free hug
in the Rollican actually
because the cause you living is crazy at the moment.
That was the goal.
That was actually...
More of the best part of it
was being able to give away free donuts, free coffees,
as you said, nothing's free nowadays.
So fun.
So expensive.
Well, congratulations again, Brie, on the $1,000.
My advice would be absolutely let it change you,
become a different person to people around you,
treat everyone differently.
in the boss what you really think about it.
Yeah. You go tell him to stick it, you know.
Might be a woman.
Or her. Yeah, thanks.
Or anybody. Anybody. I do the bloods anything. I'd say, Steph, actually.
You can catch all the highlights of you missed it on Air Javvo's Instagram.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Journey to give you a fact that's so good it's Dean.
Sean's five-star fact.
So far we've been unsuccessful. Yesterday was a good fact.
You were close.
I got a four and a half from a lot of people.
people, that was good.
It hasn't quite been a five-star yet.
Ever?
Ever?
Ever?
Yeah.
Jebors.
Today, however, I've done things a little bit differently.
I know you guys have quite a strict judging criteria for the fact.
But today I've outsourced.
Intern Little Lill, bring in Tammy from Briscoes.
Oh, the Briscoe's lady just walked in.
What is happening?
So, me and Tammy from Briscoe's a close friends.
That's where?
Hello, Sean.
Hi, Tammy, great to see you.
Hi, hi, Harris.
Nice to be here with you guys.
And this isn't someone doing an impression of Tammy the briskos lady.
This is physically the Ristakins lady right here.
We get a social club up so you know, but I thought there was a great homeweeasy fact that I'd found.
And I thought part of it is performance.
Who better to perform the fact than Tammy from Briscoes?
Oh my God.
An icon of legend.
Well,
welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Tammy, the briskos lady,
I guess we should run through
the judging criteria
before you say the fact.
I'm nervous.
Okay, we're looking for a fact...
I'm nervous.
Oh my gosh, it's so crazy that you're here.
We were looking for an original fact,
one that we've never heard before.
We're looking for a fact that's got great shareability.
So a fact that people will hear and be like,
oh my God, I have to tell everyone I know.
And we're looking for a great performance
and already it's a stalableness.
performance.
Yeah.
Tammy from Briscoes, you've got this.
Take it away.
Okay, okay.
Small drum roll, thanks.
Okay, stop.
The average, the average mattress doubles in weight over 10 years.
Why?
Look at your face.
I think I see right.
Because of dust mites and dead skin.
Ooh.
Is that why all the old ones are so heavy to move?
around. Oh, I'm not going to tell you how old our mattress is at home. I'd say as weighs a lot more than there.
Oh, Sammy, that brisk goes, lady.
Timmy's good, who is?
Tettle. Intern Little L first. Out of five, what do you give Tammy's fact today?
The shock factor was amazing. I think I'm going to start it off high with a five.
Whoa! What? I'm going to back it up, baby. You're getting a five.
Time star for me too.
Okay.
Tammy the Biscos lady.
Thank you for coming in.
I must have a thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you Harrison with the pop-top with your name on it.
Yeah, great.
I know you are who you are, but it doesn't change my judging.
I'm going to give it a five.
My mom, I'd like to thank Jesus.
I'd like to thank Tammy from Briscoes.
Oh, show.
Hold on.
Sean, you didn't get the five-star effect, though.
It's my five-star fact.
I know, but...
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.
Tammy, the briskos lady got the five-star fact.
What are you saying?
But you have to deliver the fact for you to be your fact.
It's not...
It's not always right.
It's not always right.
It's not nothing to do with you.
What?
Oh my God, Briscoe's lady.
You are an absolute icon.
We've grown up with you.
We've grown up with you.
You tell us the deal is that Briscoe's all the time,
and now you've given us a fact that it has been worthy of five stars.
There's not a fact.
Any speech?
Any speech? Anything you'd like to tell the nation?
I want to tell you about the bed competition.
Oh, of course you do.
Can I?
Yeah, absolutely.
Is now the appropriate time?
What's the bed competition?
Well, we've got a competition running which is finding New Zealand's best bedmaker.
Our one lucky winner wins $10,000 cash.
Whoa!
So if you're a good bedmaker, you could be winning 10 grand.
You could be.
Oh, wow, that's really cool.
Yeah.
Okay, so briskos.co.NZ, go there and check it all out.
Wow, it's been an honor to have you on the show this afternoon.
What a five minutes.
It's just a life highlight.
Sean, well done on having a celebrity friend and the Briscoe's lady.
Thank you for your facts.
And thank you for letting me come on.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right, I'll see you for a wine this evening.
This, your avos head harder.
With Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The edge.
Stand Walker!
Degrees of Stan Walker.
Yeah, from one New Zealand icon, the Briscoe's Lady,
To Stan Walker, yeah.
Have you seen him?
What's your low-level connection to Stan Walker?
Quickly round the room.
Quick Stan Walker stories.
Mom moments. Harrison, you met Stan?
Have I met Stan?
Yeah, they're not cool stories.
I met him in an event and then I met him in a hotel lobby.
Perfect.
That's what we're after?
What happened in the hotel lobby?
That sounds interesting.
I was at home going and I said hi and he goes, hey.
Super interesting.
Oh, I take it back.
I take it back.
But my uncle, I said a story.
My uncle saw him at a hotel in tow pole, shaving his legs into the pool.
That was quite an iconic one.
That was good.
My Stan Walker story, I think he is such a legend.
I reckon love Stan Walker.
But remember, like yesterday,
you know how the breakfast show between 6 and 10 yesterday
was giving free flight vouchers,
thanks to Jet Star, to everyone who got on the year.
So we've done that a couple of different times
with different prizes and stuff.
And one of the times was like electronics
and like headphones and things.
And we called Stan Walker for some reason.
He was on the show
and we were like, well, technically you're on the air
so you get a prize, do you want some headphones
thinking that he'd be like, oh now pass them on to the next caller
or no, no, no, you keep them as a prize gift to someone else
and he was like, yep.
I'm like, okay, well, grab me details, we'll send them out.
You offered him headphones?
Yeah, I know, I know.
It's true.
What a weird story.
I just thought someone could maybe like,
he would probably have his own headphones, I don't know.
Gosh.
But no, he was on here, so he deserved to win them.
Legend.
I remember that.
I remember that story.
So this is the kind of stories we're after.
It could be anything.
The lowest level, this is what happened last week.
Stan and I were both hungry for a pie
because we were in the same line for a pie
at Muzers Pies at Mount Albert.
So that was one of our winners.
This is our winner the week before.
And one day I was parked at the liquor store
and I heard laughing and I turned around
and Stan Walker and all his mates were laughing at my car.
Oh, that was a funny story.
You'll always remember that moment
that Stan Walker laughed at your car, eh?
That's so good.
Every New Zealander has a great Stan Walker story
or knows someone who does.
800 The Edge, could you be our degrees of Stan winner this afternoon,
a prize going to what we deem is the best Stan Walker story?
If you think it might be bad, let us be the judge of that,
because we've given away some shocking stories.
Bad is good.
Bad is exactly what we're looking for.
Yeah.
0800 The Edge.
What is your degree of separation to Stan Walker?
We'll take your calls next.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Standwater!
Degrees of Stan Walker.
We do it every Wednesday.
This started off as degrees of separation
where we would throw out a different New Zealand celebrity every week
and ask for low-level stories of how you've seen them
or how your mate's mate knows them.
But it works so much better with Stan Walker than anyone else.
So we're on week six of asking for Stan Walker stories
and they have not failed yet.
Yep, they're still coming through.
0800 the edge.
Sonia from Christchurch is here.
What's your Stan Walker story, Sons?
No, so a friend of mine that I grew up with.
he has married Stan Walker's cousin
but she's also an amazing singer
A friend, gosh, practice out,
a friend that he grew up with married Stan Walker's cousin
and she's a good singer?
Yeah.
Now why I like this is because growing up for me in Tauronga Sonia
every single kid at school would claim that they were Stan Walker's cousin.
It was a big thing for me, big part of my childhood.
So the fact that you actually know Stan Walker's real cousin
He earns you a lot of points and degrees of sand.
Is you from Taronga?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Okay.
And Sonia's best friend was there at the same wedding.
Oh, okay.
And she can sing.
This is good.
He actually is my cousin, though.
This is a good start.
Oh, okay.
Is he Sean?
He is, though.
Chris is here.
Oh, no, it hunted the edge.
Chris, what's your Stan Walker story?
So I met him briefly in a movie theater.
I went to the movies, sat down,
seat to my left
there was a guy
and this was just after
read one idol
and he still had
all of the lines
all over his head
so I think I probably
recognized the haircut
before I recognized
the face
Wait you were sitting
right next to him
Yeah yeah
like he was in the seat
to my left
and whoever I was with
was to my right
More like this again
More extensive
He sort of said
Sorry Chris
Sorry Chris
Chris we don't have to stop your story
just for one minute
Sorry, Harrison did some kind of jog there.
Sorry, no one caught it.
What was it?
More like Stan Sitter.
Oh, okay, all right, sorry, Chris.
Was that worth interrupting you for, Chris?
Back to you, Chris.
Back to you, Chris.
Yeah, so he didn't encourage us to walk sharing the movie
if that's what you're just trying to do.
Oh, so basically you fought over the armory at a local movie theater.
That's what I'm picking up here, Chris.
Great story.
Wow.
Great story.
He didn't have iconic lines shaved into his head as I was about it.
He did.
He did.
It was great.
Vanessa.
is here. What's your Stan Walker story, Vanessa?
It's not a really funny story. It's just my sister
is best friends with him and has been for about 10 or more years,
so that's my degree of separation.
That's good. That's pretty funny.
Really good. Your sister is his best friend. So does he come over to your house?
Not to my house, to her house. Yep, they're at each other's place
pretty much every second day with their kids, and he did all the kids' birthday,
all my niece and nephew's birthday parties. And, yeah, my kids start out every time.
I'm like, oh my gosh, best day and Walker.
Wait, so you've been to the same.
kids' birthday party is Stan Walker then?
I shouldn't lead with that, Vanessa.
That's good.
That's good.
You have shared fairy bread and twisties with Stan Walker.
There you go.
There you go.
This is a good story.
Okay, we've got three great stories here, guys.
Who's our winner?
We've got Sonia, whose friend went to Stan Walker's cousin's wedding.
We've got Chris who sat next to him at a movie back in the day after Idol.
So like peak Stan Walker, kind of like Australian fame as well.
and Vanessa, who has been to the same kids' birthday party, Stan.
I personally love Sonia because it's so many degrees of separation with Stan.
That's quite funny.
I like that.
In the integrity of degrees of Stan, I would like to award it to Sonia.
Congratulations.
Oh, wow.
One of your friends grew up with it and is now married to his cousin who can kind of single right.
That is what it's all about.
So good.
Great stories, though.
All great stories.
Congrats, Sonia.
with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Listen, yesterday, if you missed any of the show,
we were in Christchurch all day long for...
The Edge, hug our Ginga Day.
Who has to change up?
Hug our Ginga Day.
Our Ginga being Harrison, we managed to successfully get you
a thousand and three hugs.
Yeah.
I think it was like, I think it was more like a thousand and twenty,
like after, because we still stuck around for two more hours.
And people still just wanted to give me a hug.
So we still keep going at it.
at it.
Attic?
No, not attic.
But it is
Hug Alginga boxing day.
I am, as you'd say,
a bit of a come down at the moment.
You know, endorphins were very high.
I'm exhausted.
Do you want to cuddle?
No.
Oh.
Yeah.
You have to be a stranger.
I think it's where the endorphins come from.
But I felt a little bit selfish.
It was a little bit self-indulgent yesterday.
I mean, it was for everybody.
But my face was on, you know, a Ute.
It was.
jerseys, everywhere.
The vouchers, everything, my face is everywhere.
And that's okay.
And we can admit it, you guys are
a little bit jealous.
Like, you felt, you seemed like a little bit
left out. There were a few comments
where little outbursts, where you're like, well, this whole day's
about you, isn't it? You know, out of nowhere.
Sure did that a couple times.
Yeah. Steph was, and he's trying to give it a hug.
Steph was going for a few hug. I'm like, come on, it's kind of my thing
right now. Yeah. I did feel like,
Oh, he's getting all the hugs and I'm just like
Just totally understandable.
I felt like, I felt a little bit weird for just watching, to be honest.
Be honest, how many hugs do you both honestly reckon you got yesterday?
Like three.
I got one.
I would say I was the cuck of the show yesterday.
I was watching a lot and I was not getting involved at all.
We were both just there just just just.
And literally filmed every single basically hug you got.
Then watch another person get a thousand.
It's pretty crazy.
So I thought today you guys should go and try and get hugs.
and there's not a thousand people at this office.
So I wanted you guys to go and try and find one person
and just hug them for as long as you could.
Now this is a challenge we just tried during those last couple songs.
Find someone who doesn't know that we're going to do it.
Secretly record the audio, Harrison films from a distance.
Walk up to them, go for a normal hug,
and then see who can hold it the longest.
Steph, you were very confident?
Yeah, I reckon I had it in the bag.
I was like, oh, this is going to be easy.
People love squeezing me.
Oh.
So you approach a good friend of yours, good tactic.
Reagan, who works at another station here,
and I'm going to save people the torture of listening to this,
because there's about 20 seconds long.
Oh, I got the Googles.
There's a clips of it.
Just hugging.
He starts to get worried a little bit.
He said, is everything okay at home in that one?
And it ends with Steph looking to the camera in Harrison and yelling.
I told you I get more than 20 seconds.
At which point Reagan seemed quite upset
The hug wasn't real
Yeah, sorry
But I did, it was a lengthy hug
And he did try and pull away many times
But I just like
You clasp on, don't you?
Yeah, and I was good on you
For giving a hoon at the challenge
A little bit cheetahish though
Because he did go for someone you knew
Yeah
Were sure
And then when he tried to pull away
You didn't actually let him
No, I didn't know
When he was trying to release it
You physically held him
I walked with him
Now the problem is if I tried to do that
HR all over it
That's what happened last time.
Why, who did you try and hug?
Well, I took the different approach, right?
Yeah, he went for the kind of rules of what it was yesterday as well.
A stranger.
You hugged a stranger?
Complete stranger.
For as long as you possibly could.
Yep.
Oh, Sean.
We walked upstairs and we found someone whose birthday was.
Oh, no.
Wait, now did you know what was their birthday?
You'll hear it here.
There were flowers on this person's desk, and this is what happened.
Look, is it someone's birthday today?
Hello, it's nine.
Is it a happy birthday, Fiona?
Thank you.
Thank you.
So, nice to meet you.
So happy birthday.
Oh, longer hug.
Yep.
That's all, oh, happy birthday, Fiona.
He's still hug you.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Sorry about the long breakaway.
Probably a bit too long in my inside.
Ooh, Sean.
Isn't it crazy?
Two seconds in, she goes, bit of a longer one.
I was like, oh, he's just, and like, no, it wasn't a breakaway.
It was breakaway earlier.
She got out of it pretty quick.
Sean.
It was a hard watch, Sean.
So who wins?
Oh,
leave it.
I can't give any of you anything right now.
No, if you do want to recap on Hague Al-Ginga Day,
here's to Edge Arvo's on Instagram.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, interesting stat for you, if you are in the dating world,
if you're on the dating apps, you're a bit single,
you're out there looking for the love of your life.
Turns out, how crazy is this?
50% less people are using dating apps in Al-Tiroa than they were five years ago.
Oh, wow.
So it's really on the decline.
Whoa. What do I?
Yeah, why is that?
Well, I think COVID at the time was a big part of it.
People were bored and they were on dating apps.
A lot of people broke up over COVID.
Another thing is, but aside from that, a lot of Gen Zs are trying to meet people
IRL.
They're trying to meet people in the flesh.
I think there's a little bit of stigma around dating apps.
Interim little Lil, we're talking to her before the show,
and she's Gen Z.
She's not on any dating app.
She's very single.
I've actually realized that
something else like my little cousins,
they're like, well, 15, 16,
and Snapchat is the new dating app.
So Snapchat premium?
So you can buy Snapchat premium,
then it adds you all these random and stuff.
It's a whole, like, it's like a dating app.
I didn't know this.
I ran me through everything.
I was shocked.
So I think that's where everyone's going to.
The Snapchat, or the young ones coming up.
So it gives you a whole bunch of
random profiles.
Yeah, random boys and stuff that they were like talking to and they're
from, oh, he's from Hawks Bay, blah, blah, and this, this how we met
and they meet up from, so they both met up with boys from Snapchat and the parents
were like, everyone's all good, but that's what it is the new thing.
That's crazy, yeah.
I should ask some more about it, give some more information for you tomorrow, but yeah, yeah.
Snapchat's the new dating app, I found out.
That's interesting.
Everyone wants a good story of how you met.
Like, for example, I met my partner Jeannie on Bumble five years ago, and we lied,
I lied to my mum about it for years.
I told her that we met through a mutual friend.
Because I was just embarrassed that that was our story, you know?
It's not a great meet cute where like something so unique happened
and our hands both reached for the same thing.
Yeah, that's the thing.
It's like meeting when you're not on a dating app
or not at work or not like at school or uni or something,
so no study is always just a better yarn.
Yeah.
Like telling people how you met, you know what I mean?
Equivalents are like a kid having an iPad
and sort of toys. You're like, yeah, it's the way the world's
going, but it's a shame. It's that kind of equivalence.
So we discussed this last week on the show
of like unique ways that you've met a partner before.
We still cannot get over the story
you're about to hear of how one of our listeners found love.
I met my now husband
when we had a head-on-head crash.
How the hell do you go from having a head-on collision
to falling in love with that person?
I got his number for a number for,
like insurance purposes.
We were talking and I don't know,
we kind of hit it off.
We decided to go on a date.
Here we are.
It's so good to hear these stories
because, I mean, as the decline of dating apps happen,
let's give some single people a little bit of hope.
Let's open up the phones again this afternoon.
Oh, 800 at the edge.
How did you meet your partner that wasn't at work,
wasn't at uni, wasn't at school?
Yeah, and no house parties, because, like...
Oh.
No, like a magical, could be a movie scene.
script meeting. That's what I'm looking for.
You know what I mean? Sorry Harrison.
I know you met your girlfriend at a house party.
Yeah, it's fine. No, it's a shit way to meet somebody.
It's not a shit way. But it's not just for this phone topic.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Quite interestingly, if you are single and you're looking for love out there and you are on dating apps and you're not having a lot of success, it may be because 50% there's a stat that came out this week.
50% less users are on dating apps now than there were five years ago in Altearoa.
Yeah, so we want to hear from your 180-the-edge.
What unique way.
IRL you met your partner.
No school, no uni.
No house parties, no work.
We want a unique way you met each other.
And D, Serrano 800 the Edge,
D, you got knocked off a bar still and ended up marrying them.
What happened?
Yes.
Yes, I met him at a bar in Christchurch in Kutasker, a long time ago.
and he was there with his rugby friends
and I'd been on a mystery bus trip with my girlfriend
and he fell into me while I was sitting on a bar still
and knocked me flat on my back
and helped me up and then it was that
but then I went back to that bar the following week
and met him again
and he took me out for lunch
and 26 years later
we'd been married we've been together over 30
but married 26
Holy he did
were you like
Dee I mean what's his name
Your husband?
Bevan.
Were you like,
Bevan?
I normally wait for the second date to have you put me in a position that involves me on my back.
I was more like, you're just a dick, get away from me.
But then once I got to know him, it was different.
That is very much a rom-com cliche.
Like, the guy knocks you over at a bar, you hate him,
and then you fall in love with the guy.
It's amazing. What a story.
Debbie,
What unique way did you meet somebody?
I picked him up hitchhiking.
Oh, that could have gone either way, Debbie.
Oh, my God.
How did that then turn into love?
What happened?
Well, I don't know, actually.
My friends were, we were driving back from my hometown down to Dunedin
and coming out of Timoru.
And I was, you know, that hill that you're kind of coming out of Timuru
and kind of going into 100K,
and they screamed at me to stop for this guy
and we pulled over, picked him up
and then I was with him for about three more years.
So what, you exchanged numbers
and then you just like meet up?
Pretty much, yeah.
I don't know, we just hit it off on the four-hour drive
from Christchurch to Eden.
That's a great story.
Whoa, my auntie did that, picked up a hitchhiker,
she then got kidnapped, held captive for four days.
It turns out they got along really,
well and he is now my uncle.
Okay.
Is she all right?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
I think he's joking.
I think he's joking.
And Courtney's here.
Courtney, you were doing a TikTok live and then you met somebody.
What the heck?
Yep, I met my now husband on TikTok.
How does that even happen?
Like he sent you a rose or something or one of those gifts?
A lion or?
Yeah, so I was doing a live because I like to sing and play guitar and all that stuff.
And then he was just scrolling through and then started commenting on my live.
And then we started private messaging.
And, yeah, he was living up in Cambridge and I was down south in Christchurch.
And then he flew down and we went camping.
And that was beautiful.
And now we're married.
Oh, my goodness.
Was the first date you went on camping?
Like, away from people, away from society.
Just go into the bush.
Just us.
No technology.
Literally.
Terrify.
No, no reception.
Oh, Courtney.
Okay, Courtney, now this worked out for you,
but it's important that we say, if you are a young woman listening,
do not go camping with a man that you met from the internet.
Yeah, please, please.
But it has read out for Courtney in this situation, Sean, though.
So maybe you can't say that.
God, that was dicey, though.
Shot Courtney.
Great stories.
In hindsight, I'd like to take back this whole segment.
Don't pick up hitchhikers.
Don't go camping with random men.
This is going to come back to us in the worst way.
Obviously, you should do all these things because all these people have fallen in love.
It's how they've met their love with their lives, Sean.
Pick up all the hitchhikers.
You're camping with all the strangers that you meet on live.
the internet.
What about the people it doesn't go well for?
What about Harrison's auntie?
It's real 80-20 ratio.
Yeah, they can't call in.
Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
As yesterday, I had a near-death experience, and I haven't told you about this.
I was sure I was going to die yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
Why?
What you did you get hugged all day?
It was the craziest thing that's happened to me in so long.
Okay, well, Harrison and I were there.
No, on the flight.
back from Christchurch to Auckland
last night. Which we were all on.
8pm, we get on this flight, right?
Flying into Auckland,
it's raining so heavy.
I look out the plane, there's ice on the wing.
And some of the most
tumultuous turbulence that I've ever felt
in my entire life
is happening consistently for about
15 minutes of the flight. The pilot even had to come on guys
and say, hey, don't worry, we
are safe. Don't panic. We are
going to be safe. We're just going to go north of Auckland, get out of
these and then come back in. It was so scary.
I thought it was going to die. How terrifying is that?
The pilot did come on and have to be like, it's alright guys.
Don't worry, we are safe. That literally
did happen. However,
I was kind of enjoying it.
You know how it's like... Oh, you're also? You were there
as well. I forgot you guys went on the plane.
When you're a baby, we don't remember when you're
a baby, but, you know, like, having a baby and they
go to sleep when you're in the car
because it's like bumpy and it's kind of like relaxing.
So you're like doing some train travel or whatever.
It's just like the bump's kind of like it's quite relaxing.
That's how I found it.
I didn't think it was too scary.
But I've got a theory because Sean was sitting a little bit in front of me.
And you know when you leave the plane you go row by row,
or you're supposed to if you've got good plane etiquette?
And Sean wasn't getting up and getting his luggage out of the top.
And he just stayed sitting there.
And then I was getting mine and I was passing him.
And I was like, you're going to get off the plane.
He's like, no, no, no.
You go ahead.
I think he crapped himself.
he was so scared of the two books.
Oh, really? That's your theory.
They wanted to be the last one off the flight.
Did you wait a little bit away?
Was it a little bit away?
Truthfully,
I did not, I did not shit myself.
But I did want to wait to get off the plane
because I was listening to a good podcast
and I thought that my baggage was checked in.
Oh, sure.
How did you find it, Harrison?
Can I be completely honest with you?
I don't remember any of this happening.
Sound asleep.
I was sound asleep
and I woke up to
a round I have applause
from all the passengers.
Oh we couldn't hear the applause
from...
Harrison was sitting up in Kourou
who was up in like
first or second
was it first or second row
We didn't hear the claps
from all the way
At the back of the plane
I think we were all in the Kudu Club
actually before we...
No, no!
Are you lying?
You're lying?
I was row 19.
You're like, you were in the Kudu Club
before the fly, weren't you?
Yeah, but only because I snuck in.
Oh my gosh, you rich, privileged.
Oh, my don't.
talking about.
Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Otero are absolutely loved and everyone has very fond memories of is the Lysnack.
A little lunchbox treaty with a couple of crackers in there and some liquidy cheese.
Goodness.
And a couple of years back it was discontinued.
Well, right now at a supermarket that shall not be named,
there are some
lasnacks that have been spotted
across the country.
Now these lasnacks are the Australian
variety. So not
the OG Kiwi le snack that
we knew and loved from our lunchboxes
but we have got our hands
on a couple.
Stop it. Do we have lasnacks?
We have some
lasnacks. So
guys, crazy
idea. How about a
snack?
Blu-hack.
Every person who calls up 0,800 the edge right now will win the snacks for a good old-fashioned
lasnack.
Blu-A-what I mean, Sean, so our number is 0-800-the-edge, and if you want to get some
snacks in your mouth, then just call us up and you could be winning just like Prashela.
You've won some lasnacks and outless snack.
B'u-la-la-sha.
Priscilla, you've got to go home eat all those really fast, so no one else can have any or what?
I don't know.
The kids are in the car.
Me so. No hiding them.
Sorry, because you're not getting any.
All right, let's go to Crouchage now and 0-800 the edge to you.
Theo, hi, Theo.
Hi, Theo.
Hi.
Welcome to the Lus snack.
Blu-Wey!
What are you going to do when you get home?
You're going to rip off in that lid and you're going to throw the crackers out
and just get your big fat thumb in there and scoop that cheese out and suck it all night.
There's no other way.
Yeah!
Shot, Theo.
Let's go to Kerry and now and I'm 800 the edge.
have also won Kerrian with a little snack.
That's so awesome, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are you going to?
You're going to rip off the top and put your lips into the cheese
and then crush up the cracks into a powder
and then kiss all those cracks and then walk in.
They work tomorrow and go, uh-oh, a snack, Mo, or what?
Definitely, I think I'm going to share with my toddler, actually.
Oh, all that.
Yeah!
All right, do we have time for one more?
Absolutely.
It's a blitz.
Nicole, welcome to the less snack.
Hi, Nicole.
Spaceless.
Absolutely speechless.
Nicole, Nicole, what are you going to do?
You're going to take all the crackers and cheese out and eat all of it
and then keep the top of them.
Yeah.
I would have got one biscuit and then I'm just going to scoop all the cheese
and then look at those other biscuits like you did not deserve to be in the package.
Hey, Nicole, you use up all the cheese on the first two biscuits
and you're like, what am I doing here?
Guys, we've got to stop calling the biscuits.
They're clearly crackers.
Clearly crackers.
Clearly crackers.
You guys are crackers.
Okay.
Can I just say it first off, if they're going to bring back the snacks, which is amazing,
can we bring back those starburst babies with the stuff in them?
Do you remember those ones?
No.
No, Sean.
Let's not bring them back.
Tangie fruits?
No.
Anyone?
None of those are either.
Who?
No.
How old is it?
Your Arvos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
So we were in a cry shirt yesterday, guys.
you remember yesterday.
You know, when we had to hug a thousand people.
Oh, yeah, I recall that.
Was it yesterday?
Yeah, yesterday.
That was only yesterday, which is actually kind of crazy.
I just can't believe it's Wednesday.
It feels like Friday.
It's insane, anyway.
And all day, I had a very upset tummy.
I vocalised it to you guys.
Probably shed about five times yesterday.
Yesterday, yeah.
And between the hugs here and the toilet a lot.
Constantly.
And how awkward that is.
To have to go to the toilet, come out as a lot.
line of people waiting.
And my hands are so damp and everyone's like, yep, he's just gone and taken a dump.
Why are your hands damp?
Why are you drying your hands?
Well, because, you know, there's just hand dryers and paper towels are out.
No, no.
No, you simply must dry your hands.
If you are knowing that you're about to have some social interactions with people,
please, please dry your hands.
Yeah.
Question, do you think there's science behind why you had to go so much because people were
literally squeezing it out of you?
Like a tube of toothpaste?
There totally could be.
That totally could be the way.
But also, I've had it today
and no one's hugged me today.
I know exactly what's causing the explosive poise.
What do you think?
It's the amount of cheese that you ate
for over the last couple of days.
I've never seen a human being eat so much cheese in all my life.
And your lactose intolerant, Harrison.
Yeah, well, that's the issue.
Oh my God, and I've just realised because I've had it's a bad tummy today.
Cheese is dairy?
Yes, but rollic and gelat yesterday.
Yes.
I tasted all those gelatis.
Yes.
A lot of times.
Oh, yeah.
You've got to stop eating so much dairy.
And so, yeah, last night, we're in the Kudu Lounge,
and I had two plates of cheese.
Why do you eat so much cheese if you can't eat cheese?
Because a bottle of wine.
I was like, man, two plates of cheese will go well with this.
They're like, ding-dong, blah, blah, blah flight is boarding now,
and Harrison's like, oh, cool, cool, cool, I'll see you guys at the gate.
I'm just going to get a bunch of cheese and just wrap it up and serve it as a little snack.
That was real mean.
Cheese on the flight.
And then today...
So, I want to get into the etiquette of leaving the Kourou Lounge with food.
Every time you go in there you come up with a little parcel of food.
Yeah, you have to.
You have to.
You get your money's worth.
I think it's a free, so you get your money's worth.
You absolutely do.
But then today, I had to get up at 5.30 this morning to go shoot my TV show that I shoot during the day.
And my tummy was horrific.
I was like, oh, and someone said, would you like a coffee?
And I'm like, just kind of a coffee.
But you can't help it.
It was a freezing one, so I got a coffee.
So I made it worse.
And my stomach, guys, how do I even?
Just like, constantly.
Like, bubbling.
burgling and fell on my guts, my intestines
were doing backflips on themselves.
It's like the scary movie The Grudge.
It is, but it was so loud
that we were doing serious scenes today.
They'd be doing a scene and you hear,
and the mic go out like gesture to the director
like, you know, put it across his neck on like this.
How do you describe this?
Yeah, like cut, stop, stop.
Yeah, yeah.
Dreda goes, oh, cut, what's going on?
Sorry, we're picking up on the mics
there's some noise from some of the crew or something.
I don't know what it is, someone's tummy's going off.
Oh, no.
And I couldn't own it.
I was like, oh yeah, come on, guys, who is it?
Someone's going to do it.
Someone else in the scene,
but I was doing the scene
with one other person.
So that worked one time,
second time,
okay, it's not this person,
it's me.
It's like farting in an elevator
with one other person,
blaming it on the end.
Harrison, you go to bathroom?
I was like, oh no,
I end up going to the bathroom,
come back,
and for the rest of the day,
constant gurgling,
a 20 minute scene,
nowhere to lie,
hour and a half
because my stomach
picked up on the microphones
and was horrific
and I should probably stop eating
so much cheese,
maybe.
Please stop eating dairy,
Harrison.
For the love of girls.
Now.
Oh my God.
Well, hopefully this is you just learning a little lesson, isn't it?
Yeah.
Do you know the girl Bree, who won the $1,000 yesterday for the 1,000th person to hug me?
Yeah.
Her name is spelled like the cheese.
Oh, God.
Oh, I.e.
Yeah.
So I'm attracting a lot of cheese into my life.
It's just on the brain.
Yeah.
Manifesting.
Up next on the show, I mentioned something on our trip yesterday when we were flying to Christchurch,
and it had you two quite shocked that I would do this to my partner.
Steph, you went and told some people in the office today.
Yeah, that was shot too.
And this was their reaction.
Oh, come on, Sean.
Learn some manners.
And you and Jenny can sit at the back by yourselves and you treat mum.
Okay, well, this is going to explain what it is if I play any more of that.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, yesterday we were in Christchurch, and thanks to the 1,000 and 20 people who came out and hugged Harrison for...
The Edge Hugout Ganga Day.
No, of course, flying down to Christchurch and back,
We had a lot of time to spend with each other on a plane,
sitting in waiting loungers,
and I started talking about a trip that I've got coming up to Bali
next week, actually, next Friday.
Must be nice.
Very excited.
I'll also be honest.
I sat in the courty lounge at first time.
You guys didn't come in and we never sat next to each other on the flight.
So I actually didn't see much of you guys.
Yeah, that's true.
This conversation did just happen between Steph and I.
Yeah.
Are we just trying to include you, Hazer?
Oh, thanks.
Maybe include me in the actual chat next time, yeah?
You were literally in Kudu.
I called you up and I invited you guys.
We came to the Kudu Lounge and did a shout out over the speaker for you.
And you didn't come in.
I invited you guys to come in.
But you only allowed one of us.
Anyway.
And you had a voucher to cut.
Okay, we go.
Let's not even.
Let's not even.
Okay.
Steph was shocked.
Shocked.
And maybe.
No, sorry.
Shocked, disappointed, repulsed,
um, mortified, embarrassed and just.
maybe really thinking about whether I think you're a good person or not, Sean.
I bought it up in front of the team today at the edge,
and the consensus was that as well.
I didn't think it was that bad,
but the story is that next Friday we're flying to Bali,
myself, my girlfriend and her family,
and a couple of my family members as well.
Now, every year with my credit card that I've got,
my AirPoint's credit card,
I get a free recognition upgrade to use with an Air New Zealand flight.
Now, this is like if you're flying economy, they'll upgrade you one class, so they'll put you on premium.
Every year.
Every year I get a free one.
How's you there?
It's just with my credit card I've got.
Oh, credit card, yes.
Yeah, they give it to you.
It's free.
It's not true.
Credit card must be nice.
It's not free.
It actually isn't free.
It actually isn't free.
Oh, it costs like 100 bucks, yeah, yeah.
No, it costs way more than that.
And also, you have to earn a certain salary in order to qualify for this credit card.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
You're missing that point, sure.
One of these stories, sure.
Yeah.
irrelevant of it.
Quite relevant.
This upgrade has expired every year I've had it.
I've never had a chance to use it.
Because I never fly in New Zealand internationally.
I'm always flying like cheap airlines, Eurasia and stuff.
So I've never had a chance to use it.
So this year, it's not just me and my partner.
It's her family as well.
So I actually said to her, I was like,
Jeannie, with my girlfriend,
do you mind if I put in for my free upgrade
and I might leave you,
I've only got one of them,
and go and sit up in premium economy
because you'll be with your sister and your mom
and she said, that's fine.
Use your upgrade, go up here.
I asked her for her permission.
She was cool with her.
So I put in for my free recognition upgrade
and it's possible that on our flight to Bali
I will not be sitting with the family.
I'll be up the front.
When your girlfriend Jenny said that's fine,
what was the pitch level when she said that's fine?
Was it a, that's fine?
Or was it a, it's fine?
It's fine.
It was like a, that's fine.
Oh, wow.
That's fine, fine.
Fine.
It's fine.
It's not fine.
It's not fine.
It's not fine.
Can I say, premium economy, that's just in the economy area.
It's the first euro.
It's just a comfy chair.
No, you do get a few extras.
You get like the hot towel and stuff.
You should do.
You get a menu.
You can pick from two meals instead of just.
Oh, this is so chill.
Jeannie, it's all good.
Are you joking about?
Who cares?
It's like this.
Oh, my God.
It's the smallest upgrade ever.
No, it's not.
It's literally not.
You're about to spend a week in barley together.
Gosh, it's a two-hour flight.
Get over it, you're all good.
What are you talking about Harrison?
If your girlfriend went to premium economy on this like trip that you've looked forward to for
to for ages and ditched you.
Oh, we didn't care of it.
Go for it, babe.
Yeah, you get a hot towel and another meal choice.
What do you do?
But shouldn't Sean give it?
Same movies, everything.
Who cares?
Shouldn't Sean give it to Jeannie?
Oh, that doesn't really matter, does it?
Shouldn't you give it to maybe the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they're both going to fall asleep.
Who cares?
Are you...
How are you both in relationships?
It's beyond me.
So Steph went out to the office earlier
and pitched this to people without me being present
so they give their real feelings
and this is what people thought.
Oh, come on, Sean.
Learn some manners.
I want to say I'm surprised,
but because it's Sean,
I'm actually not surprised.
That's exactly what I'd expect from him.
Nah, I reckon do it.
I reckon it's fine because when is he probably
ever going to go on a solo trip
where he's going to be able to have the chance to fly.
Here go, Sean.
I would.
I'd save it for something else.
All right, what do you think?
Oh, 800 the Edge, because I haven't actually made the call yet
of whether I give it to her or give it to her mum
or whether I keep it myself or whether I even cancel the upgrade.
What do I do in this situation?
Am I the asshole if I do this?
Give it to my girlfriend.
Give it to her mum.
Give it to her mum.
God, what about your mum?
That's true.
My mum's also.
Wow.
Oh, 800.
See, I honestly need your help listeners.
O 800 the Edge or text the 3-343.
Is it a dick move to do?
If you were someone I was dating, would you break up with me if I did this to you?
She's not going to break up with you,
but she's going to be so guttered that this holiday is starting off this way.
She wants to sit next to her boyfriend on the, like a 12-hour flight, Sean.
We'll take your course.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Listen, am I the asshole is what we're kind of asking?
I'm going on a flight to Bali with my girlfriend and her family next week.
The story is I get one free upgrade every year from a credit card that I've got.
Now I pay for this credit card for these benefits.
I've never been able to use it yet.
I've had that free upgrade expire the last four years.
guys because I never fly in New Zealand
internationally. I'm always flying with like
budget airlines. Or I'm flying with my girlfriend.
I don't want to leave her, right? I can only upgrade one of us.
Until now. You don't want to leave her until now?
Until now is the moment you want to leave her.
Because her sister's on the flight with us and so is her
mom. So I'm like, if I do leave you, and I've asked
her about this. If I do leave you, you're okay
with it. You're not going to be alone. You'll be with your sister.
Is that all good if I try and go for this upgrade?
She said it's absolutely fine. Steph,
you've come at me. Even if the officers come at me
and said it's a horrible decision.
And you know what? We invite you to come at Sean as well.
And the best comer of Sean right now will win a Peter Pitt voucher of $50 value.
Look, you can also support Sean like Harrison here.
Appreciate it.
No.
I back, Sean.
Do you know what I've thought about this, long and heart.
Yeah.
Why don't you do the upgrade?
So like there's a seat there and then just like alternate.
And if there's so many of you, like you, your girlfriend, Jeannie, her mom, your might,
there's a bunch of you going over there to celebrate your 30th birthday,
Why don't you just have like tag and tag out
Like one hour, it could be you
And then the next hour at someone else
And do it that way
It's so annoying
That is the worst option
Sorry, but it's Sean's upgrade this time
When his partner Jeannie gets an upgrade
It's her turn
That's just how life works
That might not ever happen
Well pay for one
Maybe Sean can pay for one for her or something
Oh that's a good idea
There we go
That's a good idea
Don't have the money for it
Okay well 0800 the edge
Georgia surely
You're gonna rip into Sean
right now for being the world's worst boyfriend?
No, I didn't even know that it was for his birthday as well,
but I mean, who pays the credit card bills
and whose idea was it to get the credit card
and whose birthday is it now as well?
Wow.
To answer your questions, Georgia, that would all be me.
It's my card, it's my birthday.
Go, Georgia.
And so who should get the upgrade?
Yeah, Georgia.
I don't know.
You say it, Georgia.
What do you reckon?
Oh, you, obviously.
Wait, hold on.
I don't care about the moms as well.
They can't get them about.
Yeah, they've had a longer life.
They've had more chances to sort of the fight.
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Sean, is it a joint credit card?
Are you paying for joint bills on the credit card or is it solely your card?
My credit card.
That's Sean's thing.
That's problem's wrong.
Yeah.
Okay, well, thank you, Georgia.
One second.
Mani's here on 0800 the edge.
Mani, this has happened to you.
Yeah.
My parents are degrading themselves and left me in the economy.
By yourself?
Yeah, by myself.
Oh, mj.
Yeah, I was a bit gutted.
Did you share it? Was your mom like, oh, I'll tag and tag out.
You can have it for a bit, watch a movie, and then we can, like, swap.
No, she tried to actually, she was trying to send me cheese,
but then the hostess said no.
Aw.
While my dad was just teasing me with glasses of champagne,
because I could see them from where I was.
And you know what, that's going to be Sean.
He's going to be sending selfies back to Jenny and everyone else.
being like, look where I am.
Oh my God, it's premium economy.
He gets a face-town and another option for dinner.
That's it.
He gets more leg room, Harrison.
I'm very excited about it.
He's tall.
Georgia, let's give you the Peterpit voucher.
Thank you so much.
Manny, I wish we could get...
Can we give her two?
We'll give you both a Peterpit voucher as well, Maddie.
Congratulations.
Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
So yesterday we were in Christchurch.
Harrison was living out his dream.
He had a dream of bringing back
Hugging a day
a day where back in the day
the edge radio station ran it
and people with Ginger here
got hugs all day.
But our 2025
jujushed up version
was hug our Ginga Day
where Alginga Harrison received
1,000 hugs from 1,000 strangers
and we gave away $1,000.
Yeah.
And one back hug and two kisses.
Oh yeah, I remember that.
From the same lady, shout out, Tanya.
So that was Harrison's dream
and can we just say Harrison
Congratulations
Tick
Yeah
We've done it
I felt awesome
I loved it very positive day
I was very happy
And I got to live out my side dream
Of fist a brunette
Where I fist bumped
A thousand people as well
Yeah okay
Now what you guys might not know
Is that I also had a dream
And my dream
I haven't been as vocal about it
As maybe Harrison Withers Hugging
And maybe now Sean Withers fisting
But my
dream is to
ride in a Tesla.
I'd never done it.
I had never done it.
Have we known that? That would have been a way easier
dream to achieve than flying the whole show to
Christchurch and hugging a thousand people. We should have done that one.
That's a good point. But yesterday, after
we flew back from Autotahi Christchurch to Auckland,
we
all went our separate ways
and I ordered an Uber
and voila
there is a beautiful Tesla
that appears in front of my eyes.
Now, I don't know how to get in.
Is that where you were yelling at me when you were leaving?
I had my headphones on the stuff,
yelled at me as she left.
So I'm there, and there's a Tesla.
He's picking me up.
I don't know how to get in,
and I'm yelling, first of all, at the driver
being like, help, I don't know how to enter your vehicle.
And he kind of explains, because then there's no door handles.
It was like a button or something.
I don't know how it was open,
but suddenly he's opened it.
And I'm getting in, and I realize
that I'm about to get into the Tesla.
for the, like, our Tesla for the very first time in my life.
I'm very excited.
And then that's when, Sean, who's still waiting for your regular boring Uber.
Wait, was it?
It was a pre-us, yeah.
Oh, yeah, boring.
It's still waiting there with those.
Yeah, your headphones on.
And I'm like, oh, sir, sir, can you help me?
I don't know how to wind down the window because I've never been into Tesla before.
And everything's, like, digital and buttons and stuff.
Can you wind down the window for me?
Because I need to yell at my friend.
And he's like, okay.
And then he winds down to my window.
And so I'm yelling at the window.
I'm like, sure, I'm in a Tesla.
It's like raining and, like, thunderstorms and stuff.
hears me. I thought she was telling me I'd left something on a plane or something
she'd left her. Yeah, no, I'm yelling at. I'm in a Tesla. And so,
excuse me, so you can we just wind up the window now that I've finished yelling at my
friend and he does it. And then I said to him, I was like, I promise I knew him. I'm not
a weirdo. He's like, okay. And that's when I realize, there's no
blemin, uh, what, uh, um, steering wheel? Behind a steering wheel, what do you call that? Dashboard.
There's no dashboard in a Tesla. It just goes steering wheel car.
Because everything's on the massive iPad-looking screen in the middle console.
Everything, like the speedometer.
There's like a satellite camera that he can see, like, his car moving around, like, other cars, but like a 3D version.
I'm asking him a thousand questions on my, like, 48-minute drive.
So you're like the kid who's like, what does that do?
What does that do?
I've never been on a Tesla before.
Was there a sky roof?
Like it was all glassed roof?
Oh, my God, I can't even remember Harrison.
It was such a haze of the excitement.
excitement of no dashboard behind the steering wheel.
I was like, what does that do? How do you know how fast
you're going? Where is the camera? How does the satellite work? All these questions.
Now, I pride myself on my Uber rating and I know it off
by heart. And then, I don't know what overcame me, but after my
very, very excitable, very quite annoying from my point of view, trip home,
I checked my Uber rating after I gave my beautiful Tesla driver a five star.
My rating had decreased. It had gone down
by a mark.
He, I think
I annoyed him so much
with the Tesla chat for 48 minutes
that he gave me,
he must have given me like a two or a three star.
It's gone.
And this was at like 10.30 at night.
My over driver was so scared
I talked to him because the rain was
sparketing down.
He had to yell at him.
It was quite hard to hear.
Shut up.
What is this part of do?
No wonder you lost your bloody rating.
It was so annoying.
It was so exciting.
I just want to point out
two of us lived our dreams yesterday.
Thank you.
No, I'm a huge.
Huge.
Amazing.
Big ride, huge ride.
Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Yesterday in my top three segment where I take a topical news story and come up with three different things from it.
It was on a family that were really good at spelling bees.
And Harrison and Steph, being the quite competitive sibling energy, co-hosts that they are,
started competing to spell different words that I was throwing out in the middle of the chat.
Family.
Family.
Family.
Family.
Genetic.
G.
E-N-E-T-I-C, genetic.
Free, F-R-E-E-E-E-E-O-A-S-I-E.
Anyway, you get the just to that.
DeF-D-E-A-E.
I've taken this to a new level.
There's been a lot of debates, a lot of arguments about who is the best speller on the show,
so I've prepared your proper spelling bee.
I'd like to try you both right now.
Quickly, Harrison, Seth, either of you actually ever do spelling days?
Yes, plenty of times and a lot of championships from it.
Ah, man, I keep the medals in my garage, because I'm a bit embarrassed, but I should be proud.
Yeah, but you never went.
I went to internationals.
You just did to nationals.
I went to internationals.
Did you?
International.
I'm to an Australasia champion.
You grew up a very wealthy.
You did.
Have you seen your house that you grow up in?
Yeah, it's very poor.
You had two bedrooms.
First word is...
Too true.
Well, let's figure out what the first word is.
I'm going to make the first word definitely.
Do we...
How do the house is work?
Do we buzz in?
Buzz!
No, Steph, go and say the...
I'll give you words each.
Okay, okay.
So, Steph, your word is definitely.
Definitely.
E-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y, definitely.
Congratulations.
Harrison, your word is separate.
Oh, my God.
Separate.
S-E-P-E-R-A-T-E.
And he's got speed.
Really?
It was A-R-A-T-E.
Yes, correct.
Yes, why he is.
Steph, your word is, embarrassed.
Oh, that's what Harrison's feeling right now.
Embarrassed.
Em, B, A, R-R-A-S-E-D.
Embarrassed.
Correct.
I thought the word was embarrass.
That is correct, Steph.
You're incorrect.
What's not embarrassed?
Embarrassed.
Embarrassed.
You said embarrassed, duh.
Harrison, your word is effect.
Effect.
Sorry, can I have that again, please.
Your word is effect.
A F-E-C-T
Oh, sorry, mate
It was the other one
Oh, no, it wasn't!
No, it was the E-1
Steph, your word is
Except.
Can you please use it in a sentence?
Accept that thing.
Origin
That's one, that's it.
Except that thing.
Accept that thing?
Yeah.
Except that thing.
Accept that thing.
Except or accept?
Can not be clearer.
Accept that thing.
ACC, E-P-T.
I'm sorry.
It was every thing.
except that thing.
Oh, you guys, what you're doing now.
Harrison, your word is break.
Can I please
you have that in a sentence?
Break!
B-R-E-A-K.
Wrong, it was someone telling someone
on their shift to go on a break.
Sorry, it's correct then.
That was clear.
Yes, thank you.
I think that means Harrison's the best
speller on the show.
Bullsh-shirt.
Bullshit. B-U-L-S-H-I-T.
Thank you.
Oh, I've changed it.
Steph's the best best.
about it was incredible.
This is Drake, Nokia.
This is Nokia.
This is Nokia on the edge.
We'll have a chat here.
No, no need to use language like that.
Maybe a sore loser.
Underwater rugby.
It's a new sport.
It's taken over the UK.
There's a new club that's just started in London for underwater rugby.
How do you play underwater rugby?
Oh, I have a guess.
No, I get that it's in a pool with a rugby ball.
Is it like water polo about with a rugby ball?
Kind of.
It's underwater.
actually have to swim down. Oh, so the ball like sinks. Yeah, it's a heavy ball. To be honest,
I haven't done too much research on the sport itself. I kind of looked at it, looked at some
photos, thought that's hilarious. How can I do a top three from this? And I thought the top three
ways to make boring sports way more extreme. It's that time of the day. The time to get your news.
Brought to you by chess. Chess boxing. The real sport that's 10 rounds, a round of speedchairs,
a round of boxing. You win by checkmating your opponent or knocking them out. That's a true sport.
And presented by
Dan Carter's
Chemist Warehouse Photo Shoots
It's the Edge Top Three
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
How is it brought to you by
Dan Carter's Chemist Warehouse Photoshoots?
They're sponsoring this segment.
Are they?
Specifically the photo shirts.
Yeah.
Okay.
Bizarre.
One.
How to make regular sports
Way more extreme.
Darts, but make them play on a trampoline.
Oh, yeah.
Fun.
Good idea.
It's a good game.
Oh my God, we should do that.
We should literally do that.
Nah, actually, Bounty Castle.
Oh, that's a bit too much work.
A dark boy, and you've got to nail the dartboard.
That's good.
All the bouncy castle.
If you miss, it ruins the whole game, games over.
Oh, that's way better.
Oh, there's a lot of jeopardy.
I know.
I wouldn't be allowed to play that.
I'd ruin the game instantly.
That would sound fun, though.
How much is a bouncy castle?
How much?
Yeah.
Do some Googling.
Do some research.
Tuck, type, type, type.
Oh, heaps.
Can't afford that.
Two.
Sumo wrestling, but
They're on ice skates, so they just slide each other out of the circle.
Oh my God.
I think that's cute.
Do you know how summer resters get large?
Oh, hold on let me Google it.
Type, type, type, type, type.
I don't say.
Should you move on?
They eat bowls of rice at 10pm at night so it doesn't,
they can't burn off any fat, and that's how they get fat.
It's by eating bowls of rice every night at 10pm.
True fact.
Really?
I might start a segment.
Off about facts.
Yeah, that was pretty good.
That's the first one.
Three.
Um, tennis, but the ball is a functioning beehive.
Would that be a bit more exciting?
Hit the bees away.
No, no, no, we need to protect the bees, protect the bees.
Waspive.
Yeah, waspice pipe, better.
Way better, way better.
Anyway, that was.
It's The Edge Top Three.
Your Arvos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
The Edge.
Hey, thanks for listening to the podcast.
Hey, guys, Sean, can you just chuck up the old blower?
I'm about to dial a number.
I need to call.
We might do this on the show tomorrow if this is successful,
but there's this guy who on, you know, like the supermarket notice boards at New World,
put up the words free compliments, make your day a bit better.
His name's Nathan, and he's given a cell phone number.
So let's see.
The number you have called is not currently active or is invalid.
So wait, what's happened is he's either given a false number or so many people have called him that he's had to change it.
Or Steph's typed it wrong.
The last one could be a zero.
Should we try zero instead of a set?
for this bit to work, Steph.
No, no, I'm just say, just let's see how we go, you know.
Don't say shame, Steve.
Shame, Steve.
It's a team effort.
No.
No.
Let's say his name's Nathan.
Nathan.
It's quite a cute thing putting up a little no-day free compliments, because he doesn't know us.
So how is he going to compliment us?
Un adorable.
Yeah, that's really cute.
Should we come up with alter egos?
Yeah.
Let's give him real cancelable traits.
Hello?
Hello?
Sorry, I've missed you.
Can to get back in touch.
Leave us a message.
Call him again.
Better yet.
Send me a text.
Cheers.
Oh,
cinema text and then
report back tomorrow
and see what he says.
No, no, no,
I want to see him a text.
Yeah, fuck me,
it's a stupid idea.
That is the fuck is you right here.
Just tell to me.
Because in a person
has my cell phone number.
We're going to have a number anyway.
We're so tired.
How was it going to have my number?
We were up all day yesterday
hugging a thousand people
in Harrison filmed a show tonight
and this show has just been
so delirious.
Look at all.
Since Nathan's not answering.
God go on moving.
Do you ever.
for a fucking problem.
Sorry, I've missed you.
So since Nathan's not going to do it.
I've locked the doors until
we all give each other ones.
Why?
I give you compliments all the time.
What's interesting is Steph's love language,
Steph loves compliments.
It's like a thing.
Steph loves being tortured as in a good job.
And Harrison hates giving compliments.
It's a really interesting juxtaposition.
I hate giving compliments.
Yeah.
What the fuck you?
The showdown of the century.
You do.
I love it.
always give
condiments. Oh my God.
I've never, ever got one from Harrison.
Unsolicited. I've got them solicited,
but not unsolicited. And I do realize
that this is also solicited. You solicit for a lot
of compliments, but I'll give you one.
I think
that
you
are a good person to sit next door on a plane.
I sat next to you on a plane down and I've sat next to
on a plane a lot of times.
What a fucking awesome
continent of them. Thank you so much.
Well, you ask, and you're fucking,
Hey, Steph, you're awesome to sit next to.
I want to play.
Yeah.
You've got a good chat.
We feel like we can chat if we need to,
but you also don't want to talk to me the whole time.
You actually want to do their things.
Yeah.
Some people are bad playing companions.
Like, people who don't want to talk at all,
it's like, all right, mate.
But people who do want to talk to you the entire flight,
you're like, shut up.
I think I pick up some good social cues.
That's cool.
Pride myself on that.
And, uh...
Jeff, I've always thought, I've always thought,
I've always thought your two,
biggest front teeth are really cool.
Oh, fuck out. You're such a dick.
That's a fucking goal of it. That's mean. That's mean.
What is that? Oh my gosh. Your front teeth are cool.
That's so mean.
That's not. See, that's why I don't give you column of us.
Because you're really bad. Everyone else would love that. You're the only one who wouldn't like that.
That's insane.
That's so funny. Go on. What's mine?
Oh, did you want some?
Yeah, just from you.
You pitched it as a compliment circle. Then I've got both your compliments.
No, I said I'd look the door until.
I'll get calm with that.
No, do you want to run back the tape?
He said till we all compliment each other.
We.
Come on then.
Rapid fire.
Get to it.
I don't know what you guys are sitting.
Both back, feet on the desk.
So disrespectful.
Feet on the fucking deer, actually.
Because tapu up there.
Yeah, me too.
Me too.
Okay, Sean, your compliment can be.
Look at the way.
She wanted it so bad.
No, let me get to it.
Sean.
You understand me with just a look.
I understand you with just a look
We don't even have to talk to each other
But we get it
I don't even know if that's a compliment
Or just that we've known each other too long
Harrison
That's not a comp, okay, it doesn't matter
I'm not needy, don't need one
That's a shit call on, Seth
I thought that was beautiful
Sean
Oh you don't have to give me one dude
No no no
Honestly don't care
It's weird
I don't want a compliment from you
I really like your hat
Because it's a starting letter of my name
Oh yeah, it's got 8-on.
So self-obsessed.
Yeah.
No, no, fuck on, I'm not self-obsessed.
For Harrison.
Harrison, I love the way, genuinely.
Now, I'm in the bottom of my heart here.
Oh, no.
Bottom of my little old heart.
Harrison Keith.
Look at me.
No, this is going to be really special.
Look at me.
Open your eyes.
Come on.
Sit up.
Sit up.
Come on.
Just hate the compliment.
Harrison.
The way.
You shook your mayonnaise out today.
It was really good.
Cool.
It got on the screen.
The way I put mail on my lunch.
That's worse than sitting next to you in a playing compliment.
That is shit.
No, it was a great, it was a good,
choo, to, too, too!
I liked it.
All right, Harrison, my comment for you.
You're a great guy to sit in the back of a car with.
That's good.
I'll take that one.
It's one of the best comment on the day.
Sat in the back of the car.
Thanks.
A long time.
Great people to travel with you.
Both, you.
All right, probably the show is it?
Probably done for the day.
So you try Nathan again.
No way!
Rover, Music, radio, podcasts.
