Also, Harrison had an on-screen kiss.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Yeah, big kiss today. My first big kiss on screen. And it's pretty wild. It went interesting. It was an interesting way to do it, I'd say.

Starting point is 00:00:54 Fire us? Well, he could, though. It's his last day. Yeah, but he won't because it's his last day. He says... This is his last day he could still fire us today. He said he's going to leave early. I don't think he was.
Starting point is 00:01:02 There's a lot of admin to fire someone, I think. So he's leaving early on his last day. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Gosh, you should get in trouble for that. So we're actually, hey, intern Lil Lil, have you found any rope or some kind of device
Starting point is 00:01:13 that we can tie boss Casey to a chair with for an idea that we've got? Yeah. I do, actually. It's actually just a cable. Perfect. No, you can just chip a bit of my car. I've got a couple ropes.

Starting point is 00:04:58 My head been to glass. But I think you guys you said great. Great's fine. That works. Yeah, perfect. Yeah. Glute. It's just hard to think.
Starting point is 00:05:03 think of like the amount of letters in a word. Yeah, you've got to like add them up really quickly and then carry out. Well, Brooke with the giraffe horse. It's been an absolute pleasure playing with you this afternoon. Try again. 7 a.m. 8 a.m. we play again, okay? Thanks, guys. See you later.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Bye-bye. The tone of her voice was so sad at the ear. We love you, Brooke. Was it because she lost or because we made fun of the giraffe horse? Probably the giraffe horse. There's nothing funny about a giraffe horse. Yeah. They want to be taken seriously.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Just like every other horse, you know? Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison The Edge On what is our boss, Casey the boss You may have heard of him mentioned on here before It's his last day at The Edge after about 10 years Or long of that, 20 years Oh my God knows how long he's been here
Starting point is 00:05:46 Anyways his last day here on the Edge He joins us in studio right now Hey Casey, how are you man? Oh well, been better actually Can you check your headphones on mate? Well no, I can't Because currently being tied up to a chair Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:05:57 Steph and intern little little tying him literally tying him to a chair. I won't have to do this in my new job. Tider. Well, you don't know that. I don't know. It's a weird blazer you got to do, man. We've come to a realisation today, boss Casey.
Starting point is 00:06:11 That's your last day, and that's really sad. We're all going to be sad to see you go. But also, for a brief moment, in what is quite a fickle career, we have found ourselves unfairable for the next three and a half hours. Because you're done. You're about to leave. We don't have a new boss yet. we can kind of get away with whatever we want.
Starting point is 00:06:31 I doubt you're going to go through the admin of fire. No, you're right. You got me on the fact that there's no way we could run an HR process in the next three hours. No. So, bearing that in mind, we've literally tied you to a chair. Your arms are behind your chair so you can't pull off your headphones. What do you think we're going to do? I don't know, but it's...
Starting point is 00:06:49 Whatever it is, it doesn't sound like it's going to be nice if we've had to tie me to the chair. Maybe we're going to throw a compliment at you, you don't know? Or why would I need to be tied to the chair for that? Because you like it. Now, Casey always gets the hebi-gibis and sometimes even leaves the room when he hears stories of gross injuries. I have an awful gag reflex.
Starting point is 00:07:11 So we've invited listeners to call through on 0800, on 0800 the edge, to share gruesome injuries that they've had in their lives too as our parting gift to you, Casey, the boss. So Sammy, this is Sammy, Casey,
Starting point is 00:07:28 Sammy, Sammy, what's your story? Hi, bossman. Hi, Sammy. Be nice. How are we? She's torsing. We're sourcing it. Torch her element on the line.
Starting point is 00:07:40 To the chair. Sammy, what was your injury? So, pitcher 10-year-old Sam playing baseball on the field. Using a medal baseball bat because, you know, that was the coolest thing to do. Chatterbox, baby Sammy, thought, I'll talk to the backstop.
Starting point is 00:07:58 but didn't tell the picture so my friend swung the bat hit me straight in the face my lip was hanging off three quarters of the way off six teeth were down to the gum and had to walk my bleeding face to the sick bay
Starting point is 00:08:18 eye swollen closed cheek puffed up not great you told it well though told it well a little bit squirmish You look there, Casey, a little bit. I don't, I don't like go.
Starting point is 00:08:32 We could go worse, I reckon. Let's go harder. This text, my brother chopped his little toe off when it got caught in the chain of his bike. My parents took it with them in a bag to A&E. They managed to readattention. That's horrible.
Starting point is 00:08:44 It had a happy ending. Gabby, your son or, who was it, lost more than a toe? What happened? Gabby? Hello? Hi, what's your gruesome injury story? About a year and a half ago, I got a phone call from school one Friday afternoon
Starting point is 00:09:04 because my son had cut his hand. That's a great story, Gabby, thank you. By the time we got to the hospital, they took the bandages off and he put a bandsaw through the middle of his hand between his index and finger and thumb and needed surgery and six months of rehabilitation. Oh, yuck. It's very tendon damage. Gaby, we're so sorry your son went through that, and Casey's crying now.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Casey, I've got one for you. Do you know what I used to do? This isn't bad. I used to do it. As a teenager, I used to always get the exact same pimple and right in the middle of my bottom lip. Like every week, and every week I'd ride it off and suck it past it. Okay, I'm done. I'm done as well.
Starting point is 00:09:51 There's so many more, though. Oh, well, Casey, we're going to miss you. We're going to use you a bit later on on the show as well. Sean doesn't wash his balls with soap. That's true. How did we forget that one? Imagine the buildup down there. It looks like I'm crying because I'm leaving.
Starting point is 00:10:08 But it's just the story. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Guys, I work on a TV show. Good. Thank you. I don't know if you've heard. I don't think we give you enough credit for it.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I don't think I ever mean sure. You're an actor. Yeah. But I work in that during the day. And then I come here during the afternoon. And then, yeah, a lot of acting. It's on Ahikado's TV show. And it's very fun.
Starting point is 00:10:37 And my favourite thing. What do you prefer? What's more fun? What's more fun? Acting or this? Tough. They're very different. I'm not saying one's better than the other.
Starting point is 00:10:49 There's very different jobs. Yeah, what do you prefer? Well, acting is always my dream. Oh, oh. That's smart to say that on the radio. to sing ain't as long as my dream. Yeah. Radio's a new thing for me.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Yeah, and... So all those years of auditioning and audition, and getting nothing to finally get a role, it's pretty heavenly. Yeah. You're pretty happy? Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:10 So I didn't go to radio school and stuff for this, so I haven't had the same... And people would have the same journey. No build up. No build up. Exactly. I've watched the video when you started at the edge. You listened to your whole life growing up.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Yeah. Yeah. Big fan of JJ. You modelled your look off JJ? Yep. Because she's good. Yeah. Okay. What? It's a joke.
Starting point is 00:11:36 So my favourite part about acting on these shows is the extras. I love extras. I've always wanted to be an extra. Oh, that's actually a slur. They're now, what are they called? No, they're called like background artists or something now. You actually can't say extras. Extra, so it's like background performing.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yeah, they're like background performing artists, please. Way too long. Yeah, it's quite long. Just call them extras. Call them backies. Backies? Yeah, backies. Backies.
Starting point is 00:12:07 We're just at rugby lingo. We're in New Zealand backs and the forwards. The forwards are the main ones? Yeah. In the back. But they're my favourite people in set because they're the most interesting kind of people. Like, we all get in a shuttle and we travel to set at the moment from our home base where we get changed. And I'm a highlight of my lines and the extras have like some scripts as well.
Starting point is 00:12:24 The background performing artists has some scripts as well. I can be used it after you? and in my head I go oh, lines today. Oh, rude. Road! Yeah, we do. They're more than just background performing artists, Harrison, their people too.
Starting point is 00:12:39 They had two lines each, good on him. Yeah, they're in the scene. It was funny. Actually, the part that you might like, Steph, I thought, were you excited. There's that in the scene two girls had to share a bowl of fresh hot chips. Oh, yum. I know.
Starting point is 00:12:51 You know how much I love eating. I know. But they would make them reshoot that 20 times. Yeah. But the craziest story today from the extra was that one of the extras lovely ass guy. He had one line
Starting point is 00:13:04 at the very end to say, ki'o-ra. No word of a lie. Kiyoda. We shoot this scene, me and this girl. It's the longest scene I've ever shot in the show. It's about an eight-minute scene. It's a conversation. It's real heated, real late. We go through waves.
Starting point is 00:13:19 We both break down. We cry. We make up. It's the most intense scene. That he walks on the very end and says his line. So we do this whole scene, and he walks. in, face bright red, so nervous. And he goes, I, I, I, yeah. And I'm like, look at a loser. Ah, I forgot my line.
Starting point is 00:13:42 And that was like, why you've forgotten your line? They're like, it's Kiyoda. Oh no. Should we go from the top? Should we go from the top? Yeah, well, cut, mate. We're going to have to go to the top. So there's poor extra, but he had one line.
Starting point is 00:13:56 There's background performing artists. Say Kiyoda. Yeah, kind of set me off on a bad move for the rest of the day. So all that word we put in, mate, ah, what's the line? It's killed him, mate. He's trying. What's the line?
Starting point is 00:14:10 Yeah. But yeah, the extras are great. You guys should do it some time. And background before me and artists. We should do that some time. We should do that some time. Your Arvost Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. I'm on a journey New Zealand to give you a fact that is so damn good that it is.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Sean's five-star fact. There's quite a harsh judge and criteria that I have to abide by in order to get five stars from all of the judges, which is Harrison Caffe, intern Little L, and Stephanie Monks here. Harsh but fair. I think we're looking for a variety, exactly Harrison, a variety of things, such as a fact that is shareable, an original fact we've never heard,
Starting point is 00:14:49 and a fantastic performed fact. The delivery is very important. We want to feel the manner, feel the passion, we want to feel connected to the fact, Sean, no war chat, no numbers, because we don't like war chat and we will not remember numbers. And just a bit of pizzazz is another thing we're looking for. So if you provide those things, I think you'll get a good mark. Yeah, easy.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Okay. All right. Today's factors, more than half of the world's lakes are in Canada. Half of the Worlds. Huh. It's actually more than 60%, but I thought that number was too specific. Number? There's a more than half.
Starting point is 00:15:29 More than half. Hmm. In Canada, I do like lakes. You think we've got a lot of lakes? I love lakes. I love lakes. I'm a lake over sea guy. I'm a lake kind of gal. Love a lake. Love it. Love it. Any kind of body of water. Wow.
Starting point is 00:15:41 A lake special though, isn't it? Half in Canada. That's pretty crazy. That's pretty, there's a lot of lakes. How many lakes? Like, do you have a number? I don't have a number, no. Oh, you don't have a number. So I have a specific number. So sorry, I'm around the water cooler. I'm trying to impress my new colleagues
Starting point is 00:15:55 because I'm in this hypothetical situation at a new job. And I'm like, guys, guys, guys. heard this amazing fact on I Javos, six years, over half of the world's lakes are in Canada. Oh, how many of them are there? Oh, um, poor, don't know. You know what? There's so many, I've just googled it now,
Starting point is 00:16:11 because I was interested as well as you guys should have figured this out before. But there's so many that they actually do not know. They reckon it's about two million. Whoa, that should have been your fact. See, that's a two-part effect. Yeah, 100%. And you've done facts where you have done two-partes? Today should have been a two-part a day.
Starting point is 00:16:29 That's an amazing. fat. That was it's unfortunate we had to pry you for that extra information because otherwise that would have been a five
Starting point is 00:16:37 I'm looking in a four but only about 600 of them actually have a surface area that's like over 100 people Okay no you've gone too far I'm a little bit confused because I've searched it up and it says Canada
Starting point is 00:16:47 has the most lakes of any country around 8779,800 lakes so there is a specific number Are you on chat GPT again there sure? See this is the problem I don't know I gave the fact Okay, can I just, for clarification for me for next time, how, because I'm giving a fact,
Starting point is 00:17:04 but then what you guys are after is a different fact, and then I don't have the second fact. What I say to you, Sean, because I want you to succeed, put yourself in the fact reciters position, just like the hypothetical before. You need a backup fact in case the fact entices a colleague or another mum on pickup, whatever. You need some backup knowledge. You can't just say a little bit and not all of it. So a new part of the criteria is a good backup fact. Just in case.
Starting point is 00:17:29 So you're going to have a good fact, then a good backup fact, that I won't use most of the time, but just in case. If it creates a conversation. Okay, oh God, this is getting charged. Look, if you're going to use chat GBT, I think you need to use the right prompt. So you need to say it to them. I didn't put that as, I did not live. But for the research, you need to say, like, can you give me information from not reliable sources,
Starting point is 00:17:49 but there's like a uni source thing? And it will give you the research of universities. Good promise. I just Googled it. It was a Google way. The judge is giving you advice of how to do this. the facts. The fact was fine.
Starting point is 00:18:01 It's the backup facts. Yeah, the backup fact. What are you marking that fact? Intern Lulul? I'm giving it a toe. It's not in New Zealand. What? Harrison?
Starting point is 00:18:09 Wait, just because it's not New Zealand focus. No, I gave you advice. It's good advice. It was good advice, but the judge has to give you advice. I'm going to lock in 4.2, man.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I really like the fact. I just wish the follow up the fact was there. You know, I like a point two. Nathan is texting. That's harsh because you guys are the ones who've asked for no numbers. So I made the fact numberless. I already had to edit the original fact to meet your criteria. I feel like if I'd come out with that secondary fact, you go, numbers. Oh, God, two million? Can't think of it. Numbers when appropriate.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Numbers when appropriate. We don't want the specific number. We want over two million. That's a fantastic, broad number. It's incorrect. Due to judge little, little science. It's not over two million, but yeah. Numbers were appropriate. Yeah. Numbers when appropriate. Just an adjustment on that little quote. Yeah. Thanks, Nathan. Good luck for tomorrow. Sean. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. So I was at the supermarket.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Show sponsor, New World shout-out. And you decided to start a fire. No, God, no. Okay, don't joke about someone's business. Steph put out his cigarette in the supermarket. You hear about that, Harrison? She put a cigarette out of the New World down the road. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:19:19 No, I was actually in the beautiful suburb of Albany, which is north of Auckland. And I was at the New World there and doing out like a weekly shopping. and they've got a really great. I love that. You know, I just love when you collect the stickers and you get the free stuff. Shmig. It honestly brings me so much joy.
Starting point is 00:19:38 And yeah, they've got amazing smeg stuff at the moment. Crazy of the name is Shmeg. I think it's just smeg. Short four. Smeg. Shmeg. There's no shh in it. Shmeg.
Starting point is 00:19:47 No, I don't think that's right. I think it's just smeg. Sounds like, okay. Something else. So we were third in line at the aisle waiting to beep, beep, beep, beep and skin scan and buy-bye-bye-bye. And the lady... Lady-lady.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Was in front of another lady. So only two ladies. Lady and then lady. And the lady who was scanning her food... Is this self-serve or... No, we were with a real human being. Okay. Which was so exciting. Just to have some human contact at the supermarket,
Starting point is 00:20:17 like the good old days. And the lady who was buying her stuff had a massive trolley. And at the end of it, she got given a whole bunch of stickers. Amazing. But what we were all staring at her for was she requested that the young guy working at the aisle at the New World
Starting point is 00:20:36 one by one be the person that stuck on each individual sticker to her card. And we're kind of like just standing there like, we're holding out 13 month old, there's a lady in front of us or we're not even next in line. We've got so long to wait. And she is asking this poor guy to stick on her stickers. And we're like, there must be a reason for this. Maybe she's got bad eyes white.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Maybe she can't do it herself. Maybe she's got shaky hands. There must be. But no, no, no, no, no, no. Because we end up asking the guy when it's our turn. Like, what the heck was that about? It was like a four, five minute job of sticking each thing on. And he's like, oh, yeah, that was a bit weird.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And he goes, it's because she just wanted to spend enough money to get a certain amount of stickers to then get her free smeg item, like, on the spot. I'm going to buy one. And I was like, oh, my God, the rage in me. Oh, like. Some people are just so rude. Like the people who have, she strikes me as, was she real Karen energy? She was like late 60s, so oblivious to anyone else around her.
Starting point is 00:21:37 She just wanted her stickers and you have to be the one that puts them on my card. I thought because it was so, they're very small. I've lost like 24 of them so far since this whole campaign started. So that's about, I don't know, one tray that I've lost. Chuck them in your wallet, chuck them in your bag, put it. Look after them and just take them home and stick them on. And next time you go to the supermarket, get your friends. like don't do it on the spot in the line.
Starting point is 00:21:59 So rude, I felt it was very, very, very rude. Well, he's got a job to do as well. It's not his job to put the stickers in the thing. We've all work service jobs, all of us. Have you guys ever dealt with like really just customers who just have the most unbearable requests like that?
Starting point is 00:22:17 Put the stickers on and he's just trying to do his job and he doesn't want to get in trouble. So unaware. Like no social awareness. Yeah, 0-800 the edge. Give us a call if this has happened to you. We got the stories about, someone who sent a plate of food back nine times. Nine?
Starting point is 00:22:30 That's the kind of stuff we're after. Someone who's like, come out of a cinema after watching a movie and then complain to you that the movie wasn't good. Oh, yeah. You're just the popcorn person. So retail, hospitality, who is the worst customer you've ever dealt with and why? This will be so therapeutic for some people. You worked at a pub for a while, Harrison.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Did you have any horrible people there? Oh, I hate to start people, but like, oh my gosh, I'm celiac. I can't have that. And then we'd throw up an enchilana reward There's a Mexican place and they get all puffy and crying and ambulance would come and they were like, yeah, we told you
Starting point is 00:23:04 I was like, well yeah, because you're picky, you're picky. No, we don't want those stories. You put someone into anaphylactic shock. Yes, but like the neediness of us. Just get what you're given. Oh, 800 The Edge. Who's the worst customer you've ever dealt with? Your Arvos, Head Harder
Starting point is 00:23:18 with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Do you work in customer service and who's the worst customer you've ever dealt with? Yeah, retail hospo, what do you do? And what is the worst customer you've ever seen in your life? Christchurch is where we go now to you. Grace, hi, Grace.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Hi, Grace. Hi, this is Grace from Christchurch. So, yeah, I made coffee for about, I made coffee for about 10 years. So one weekend, it was mid-service on like a Sunday, busy as. Somebody comes up to me on the coffee machine and goes, hey, I'm just wondering, do you guys sell coffee here? And I didn't even know what to say back. I kind of just looked at them.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Oh, it was very clear that you did. So I wonder, is it our... is arrogance, or my other hypothesis is maybe they were just starting to, like, create some chat, create some banter, maybe even flirting with you. At the risk of being a boomer hater, I think
Starting point is 00:24:07 they just really did not know a coffee machine when they called on. Right. Got it got, got, got, got. Okay, okay, it's like, okay, quite clearly we make coffee. I think, I'd be interested just to know, we've got a few calls in text here, how many of these are bermers? Yeah, I'd say,

Starting point is 00:24:36 Francis, worst customer story. What have you got? Hi. I was working at Dunkin' Donuts. I was managing there at 17. And one time a guy came in and he was hitting on me and my co-worker for about an hour
Starting point is 00:24:53 and hadn't bought anything. So I was like, okay. you to buy something or get out. And he got very mad at that and he bought two donuts and took it to the toilet with him, which I thought was weird. And then he shacked in between the donuts and smushed them together. Yeah, it was bad. Where did he leave it in the toilet?
Starting point is 00:25:15 What the if? I know he was really creepy and like trying to like, you know. What he did he do? Did he have the donut back to you? What he did he do? He left it in the toilet. He left in the toilet. So do you know how he said that he was like trying to like hit on you and things?
Starting point is 00:25:30 Was he relatively like I know he seemed really intense and you were like creeped out But was he kind of like normal-ish You know? Like Or a bit off He was a bit off Like a very short man

Starting point is 00:25:54 But like Yeah it's extreme Like that just goes from one That's nuts I thought he's gonna go to the bathroom been ring toss himself. Whoa. And like we were so young.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Like I was the oldest there at 17. Like crazy. Oh, Francis. We're so sorry that happened to you. I think that is. The craziest story I've ever heard in my 10 years of doing this radio station. Can I ask, Francis? Yeah, I've been possible for like 10 years and I've never had anything since.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I'm not even being crass, Francis. But did you try and test it for a new flavor or no? Oh, Harrison. I don't know. if I had that power. Good self-control. We're right on there. That's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Okay, thank you so much, Francis, for sharing that story. We're so sorry that happened. And Charles is here. Charles, worst customer. What's your story? Well, that last one, that's cruel. The last one that just came on. Ours is on a similar sort of ilk to that.
Starting point is 00:26:49 We have an iconic business here in the Bucur. How on earth is it on a similar ilk to that? Oh, God. Are you okay, Jane? Go ahead. You listen. You listen. And we have a cafe attached to the shop that we have here
Starting point is 00:27:01 and it was just around the end of COVID. People were travelling north to be a part of the protest and that happened in Wellington. In this one particular day, we had a terrible day of just people not being very polite all day long. The top one was this elderly gentleman early in early 60s come up to the counter. It had to show his vaccine passport. Wouldn't do it because he was an anti-vax person. End up walked out.
Starting point is 00:27:24 And as he walked out through the doorway, there's a water urn there. And look at the lid on the water urn and saw. spats in the water you didn't tell any Oh my god That's nut That's so gross Just to be like
Starting point is 00:27:39 If you don't serve me because I've not had a vaccination What too? There's a crazy cause Once again all brothers Crazy calls Crazy calls Geez I can't get over the poo
Starting point is 00:27:48 The poo The poo is man Your Avos Head Harder With Sean Steph and Harrison Listen I did a new thing For the first time today guys I went to a
Starting point is 00:27:59 Strand bags Yeah, what's your beef with strand bags? Well, I've always thought... Have you ever been to a strand bags, Harrison? Yeah, I brought my girlfriend a bag for a birthday from there a few months ago. Yeah, you've been to strand bags, yeah. I bought, yeah, our suitcases are both from strand bags. I love strand bags.
Starting point is 00:28:17 And my carry-on, which you both complimented on our recent trip to Christchurch. Yeah, and I feel like unless you're a city person, I'm from the Bay, Hawks Bay, so I haven't got a strand bags. A lot of rural places don't have strand bags? So a lot of malls are a strand bags things. So for me, as a new mall goer. A large trampag. Yeah, it's just like a shop and a shopping mall. It just sells bags.
Starting point is 00:28:37 So they're not have any malls in the Hawks Bay? No, no malls. My first escalated ride was Wellington. Wait, really? How old were you? Yeah. 19. Oh, man, we should take course from people. Because that's like a lot of people listening right now from these places.
Starting point is 00:28:51 I'm from Tooronga, but even when I grew up there, there was a mall. Anyway, strand bags. I think I've always made fun of it because I've never been into one. I've never needed a bag, per se. So I've never... A purse, a purse, or a bag, do you know? I never need a purse, eh. Yeah, you never need a purse.
Starting point is 00:29:10 But now I need a bag and then you said maybe you should go to strand bags. Anyway, after thinking it's a money laundering scheme and how do all these strand bags exist at more throughout Altiaroa? Strandbags is incredible, guys. Why am we going to... I mean, you two are, obviously. Go to strand bags. What, so I mean, amazing sales.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Hashtag not sponsored. Not sponsored. Yeah, this is a shame because you kind of chat on... Stram bags a bit, eh. I'm sucking it back up. Yeah, so why, yeah, why do you like it? Because I still couldn't understand why you didn't like it. Well, I just thought it was like, who's going to a strand bags?
Starting point is 00:29:39 If you've been up in a strand bags, you'll probably lost. But then I had to buy a suitcase for a trip that I've got coming up. So I went to Stram bags. Boy, do they have some deals? They're like the briskos of bags. I think I'm the only one who's figuring this out. But I also want your guys opinions because I bought a bag, and then I didn't do enough research on it.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I kind of bought it based on the color, because I thought it would be easy to see when it comes out the conveyor. I bought an orange one and then I got home and I was like I better Google if it's a good quality bag we'll see the reviews and I googled it and it says woman's suitcase
Starting point is 00:30:07 So I've done it's I've bought a woman's suitcase What's the difference? Yeah I don't see what it could be a woman's suitcase What's I'm saying? But they're marketing it is a woman's suitcase And I've bought it It's just a suitcase It's just a suitcase
Starting point is 00:30:18 It's got like a shi wee out the top or something Yeah, tampons Like extra tampons in there Maybe Maybe, maybe Does it vibrate? Oh When you sit on it
Starting point is 00:30:28 Yeah When you ride the suitcase to the taxi. Do you want to swap suitcase or something? In that case? I'm mine already. You can borrow mine.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Does it want to buy it? Yeah. Wow. Okay. Anyway, a little bit about a little update of my life. Oh, congrats, ma'am. Yeah, thanks.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Thanks, Steve. Thanks, Steve. Thanks, thanks. Thanks, stren bags for the first time today. Well done. Oh, you're clapping yourself. I will join in. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:51 All right. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. So, in every Wednesday, we do a, or used to, do a segment called Degrees of separation where we throw out a New Zealand celebrity and whoever has the kind of
Starting point is 00:31:04 loosest connection to them. These are the stories that you'd never really brag about but you met the person. It works so well with one particular celebrity that we've just doubled down and this is now our sixth Wednesday doing. Degrees of Stan Walker. Degrees of Stan Walker. Oh, 800 the edge.
Starting point is 00:31:22 The lines are open. Any Stan Walker tale. The thing about this is Sean is convinced that most people in Ontario have a story about spotting the legendary Stan Walker at least once in their lives. I reckon we're done. I reckon we're out of stories.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I reckon everyone who's ever spotted Stan Walker in the wild out there, Dawn is saying, has called in and they've told us. I don't think more exist. Steph, there is somewhat millions of Kiwis in this country. I don't know exactly how many. And every week we do this, phone lines go crazy. I think we're out. Everyone knows.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Everyone has met Stan Walker. I think that's right. You know the one in every sheep. whatever fact that we have about this country. Five sheep to every person. I reckon one and every ten people have interacted with Stan Walker. Honestly, I think that's the truth. And that's the great part of the segment.
Starting point is 00:32:12 It doesn't even need to be you. It could be my brother met Stan Walker. The other ones that win. They're the best ones. So we will judge what the best connection to Stan Walker is. So you could say my brother once ran into him in a social rugby game and ran it straight against Stan Walker. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:32:27 You could win. You could say, I actually dated Stan Walker and that might not win. A winner recently was. someone who had Stan Walker laugh at their orange car. Oh, I did love that story. Yeah, it's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Cousins twice removed in-law, niece's party was, Stan Walker was the act or something. Yeah. The broadest thing. Yeah. Yeah. I like the low-level stories are always the best.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yes. But again, I reckon we've run dry. Well, the phones are dead at the moment. So, 0,800 the Edge. Old Danglid Edge must-see movie, at which point you may stumble into Stan Walker in that movie better because you know you're going to be them at some point if you haven't seen them already. Oh, 800 The Edge.
Starting point is 00:33:06 What is your degree of separation to Stan Walker? Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Harrison? Sam Watt! It is week six of degrees of Stan Walker, the regular radio segment
Starting point is 00:33:22 where every week you call up and tell us your stories about beating Stan Walker. Oh my God, I can't wait to get into these. I didn't, I had low hopes, I'm not going to lie. I thought we were all out of stories. Full phone lines, Steph. You guys have proven to be wrong. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Michael and 800 The Edge, what is your connection to Stan Walker? So my connection to Stan Walker is that my older sister's friend, her dad, owned the farm, which was one of the filming locations for Stan Walker's film, Mount Zion. Wow. That's so good. Michael, you've nailed it, mate. That's exactly what degrees of separation's about. Impeccable story.
Starting point is 00:34:02 The potato farm. The farm where they shot the take it. Easy music video. Wow. And Puckikoi, that's where that is? Yes, that's the one. My sister's friend is one of the farming families there
Starting point is 00:34:15 and I believe that my sister went with their friend to the film premiere in Pococchio. Oh, come on. Very cool. Wow. That's a really great connection. I really good. I really actually think we need to keep going. I don't think you can talk that. He's in the running. He's in the running.
Starting point is 00:34:31 He's in the running for the best family story. It was his sister's friend's boss or something? Oldest sister's friends, Dad's Farm. That's incredible. That's pretty serious. See what I can beat it, but that's pretty tall. All right. Sam from Hamilton, can you beat it?
Starting point is 00:34:42 We're looking for a connection to Stan Walker. What's you got? I don't know if I can beat it, but me and my sister used to work as driver testing officers of ETNZ. And she worked in Wanganui, and one of her colleague took Stan Walker for his full license driving test. That's pretty good. That's a great one. That's clever. Is it not bad, yeah
Starting point is 00:35:06 That's a big moment in somebody's life, man Massive Wow, on any other week I think that cleans house This is so tough Wow, these are good stories Do you know if you passed or not? I don't, unfortunately
Starting point is 00:35:19 She does have a photo with him Though, she didn't say whether he passed a lot of I wonder if she also had to take his driver's license photo That would have been iconic Can I jump in for this next one? That's such a good one, Sam Oh, it's tight between Michael and Sam, eh? Okay, one more story.
Starting point is 00:35:36 We're looking for the best Stan Walker connection. Low level, as low level as it can be. Kate's here. Hi, Kate. Hello, how you going? We're really good. What's your connection to Stan? So I organised a photo shoot where I basically talked to everyone
Starting point is 00:35:52 and organised all the people on the photo shoot, but I actually never went on the photo shoot and never met Stan Walker, but it was a shoot for one of his magazine covers. Wow. That's good. That's good. But had you not organised it, he wouldn't have been there.
Starting point is 00:36:06 So thanks to you, the photo shoot happened, but you just never saw him. I mean, basically, I can't take all the credit, but I'll take some. Oh, that's a lot of pressure to organise all that kind of stuff. Yeah. I don't think we've ever had three better callers for degrees of Stan Walker. That is amazing. On any other day, you all would have won. 100%.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I can't believe our series. We're now taking the segment. So hard. Someone's caught up used to date him. Don't want to take you. No, that's what we're looking for. It's not the vein of the segment. That's not one lacking for it all.
Starting point is 00:36:35 That's too close. Okay, so we've got Michael, whose oldest sister's friend's dad, owned the potato farm from the movie he was in Mount Zion and Puckacoit. That's so good. We've got Sam from Hamilton, whose sister's co-worker,
Starting point is 00:36:49 used to work at VTNZ, took him for a driving test. That's great. And we've got Kate from Auckland who organized a full-day photo shoot for Stan Walker appearing in a magazine, but didn't actually go to the photo shoot to herself. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Kate, double past our edge must-see movie, which is Megan 2 in cinemas next week. I am going to vote for Michael. Sure. I think it's Michael. It's the oldest, sisters, friends, dad. Congratulations, Michael. Nice, Mike.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Speech. Speech. Oh, no worries. That was, yeah, I didn't think that that was going to do it, but. It's a great story, Michael. It's a phenomenal story, mate. How could that have possibly a bit bit today? It's making me crave potatoes now, too.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Sure, Michael, we're going to hook you up with our must-have. Yeah, a must-in-movie. Megan Toon, Cynamos next week. You're Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. You know, I'm learning just now
Starting point is 00:37:42 that our text machine can read emojis. So we get enough emoji text. You said, oh, so we're doing a kissy face. Cat did. Wow. Wait, how about we do a segment on the show where you just text in an emoji of how you're reacting to what we're talking about?
Starting point is 00:37:53 Okay, well, let's try for this next part of the show where Harrison's going to talk about what happened on set this morning. I can't wait to hear those. Yes. So as you guys know, I act in the morning on a TV show called Ahikarro. And I come here.
Starting point is 00:38:04 the radio show and then I go and do a night shoot and a lot of them in the exterior at the moment so we did a scene last night that was at a park and without spoiling anything I may have a love interest of this season. Oh spoiler! That's quite a spoiler isn't it?
Starting point is 00:38:20 But there may or may not be a thing and there may or may not be a big build-up into us having our first kiss maybe. Maybe! I don't know. That could be so wrong. Mojis are coming in hot. Yeah, blah.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Thanks for you plants. Sick emoji. Okay, I need to do the sick one of Rebecca, thank you. But it's our big first kiss, and this is meant to be a super romantic moment in the show. And we're on set. We're shooting all these other scenes outside, and the last hour was meant to be for this kiss. Water, water, water, water, yawn. Great.
Starting point is 00:38:53 And a stunt as well as a part of it. And so we're behind on schedule. So we've got 10 minutes now to rehearse the kiss, do the kiss, and do a stunt. And I'm like, okay, this is quite a romantic moment. I'm nervous as to do the kiss. You know guys, no, I've talked about how nervous I've been about doing this kiss. Did you have clammy hands? Clammy hands.
Starting point is 00:39:11 But the good thing was, it was like six degrees last night. Oh, y'all. Frozen. Great. They said, do you want a heat packs for your hands? I'm like, please no. It's the one time they're actually playing right, you know? I'm not playing up for me right now.
Starting point is 00:39:24 And so we go to do the kiss and we rehearse it. We don't actually kiss. We just play our cheeks, needs to each other. You're great. Fantastic. We're excited. There's an intimacy coordinator there. We're all good.
Starting point is 00:39:32 We're excited. It's not kiss until it's on camera. There's no, like, practice kiss. There's a closed set to all the crew leaving stuff. So it's just me, cameraman, Mike Guy, director, and a stunt guy. Is that what closed set means? I always wondered that. It just means people don't watch. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:39:45 It's very comfortable. Yeah. And the stunt guy, there's the kiss. And there's a stunt that you did before at Harrison before you get into the kiss. Oh, God. You're not like roly-polying into the kiss, are you? No. Thank God. Worse.
Starting point is 00:39:56 What? So we're in a playground and I've got to do monkey bars. That was unsexy thing in the worst. Had to bring a stunt doubling because you couldn't do monkey bars. No. No, okay, so I need to do monkey bars. And then I fall and then she helps me up and then we kiss. And so they're like, get in the monkey bars, I'm like, yep.
Starting point is 00:40:15 And they go, all right, now pull yourself up. I don't move. Oh, no. And they're like, yep, pull yourself up. I was like, stung like, Craig, this is far. I'm doing a chin up now. That's as far as I can go. And he goes, oh, this is a real issue because we can't come in and help you.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Yeah. But with the camera shot kind of starts. my face, I fall out a shot and then she helps me up but that crew couldn't be in the shot so the girl I was kissing had to wrap around around my legs hoist me up
Starting point is 00:40:47 onto the monkey buzz. Like a prop like a prop and then I go whoop I fall back she gently puts me down and stands up and then I kiss her how embarrassing just before we patched can you just quickly give me a boost up on the monkey buzz because I can't do a
Starting point is 00:41:03 Chin up. I can't do a chinna. To me, yeah. Got it. Yeah. So, it was all right. The kiss went well, but it was just embarrassing. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:15 And after we kissed, it was all good. The kiss for worse, just goes, oh, God, you're going to do a lot tonight. It's a bit embarrassing, huh? So, yeah, it's a bit embarrassing, thanks. Wow, Harrison. Itchy. Yeah. Well, yeah, like, the whole situation isn't it.
Starting point is 00:41:29 You having to be hoisted up to pretend you're doing a chin up, But then also your character falling off a monkey bars and then that leads to a kiss. There's no way. A girl's seeing a guy that she fancies fall off monkey bars. You're running a mile. I know.
Starting point is 00:41:41 That's the iciest ick. But like who would have thought? I was more nervous. I was less nervous for the kiss now. I can't do a chin up. I can't do a chin up. They're like, you hurry up, mate, we've got two minutes. I can't get up.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Okay. And tune in tomorrow when we hear about them bringing in a stunt double for Harrison to make it up a flight of stairs. Oh. Your avos head harder. with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Some big news today.
Starting point is 00:42:06 The government has dumped the census. If you don't know what the census is, every five years they do it. And they seem like forms, it's still written, which is pretty old school. And you have to fill out a thing. And it's how they get all the data for New Zealand. So every five years, they'd be like, okay, fill it out. How many people in your family? How much do you make?
Starting point is 00:42:21 How many cars do you drive? Are they important? It is important because it's like all the data they've got on our country. But then the problem with the census is that they go like, oh, based on the last census, which was like four years ago, country has this many people, but then like it's every five years, so we don't really know. I didn't fill one out. I don't know if that's scandalous to say.
Starting point is 00:42:40 How old are you 25? No, you definitely should have filled one out. No, I haven't. I don't remember. Now what they're doing is they're like, well, every, all these online companies have your data or you know, we're just going to buy it from them, and then we'll have updated data all the time. But what if the corporations that are getting the data, like, has some kind of, like,
Starting point is 00:42:55 hack or something and they get it wrong and then suddenly, like, there's all this disemm-what's the word, uninformation, disinformation, disinformation, disinformation, information. Wrong information. As my boy Trump says, alternative facts. Exactly. Anyway, I don't know. But I know it cost 300 million last time we did it. And it's every five years. So they're getting rid of the census. But I've always thought that the information's neff.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Like, who cares? How many cars? Yeah, who cares? It costs 300 million to do the census. $325 million in 2020. Oh, thank God we're getting rid of that. Crazy. Jesus Christ. So I've got the top three today, the top three pieces of data that we need to have about the average New Zealander. It's that time of the day.
Starting point is 00:43:32 The time to get your news. Brought to you by. Lord, not being proud of her address, but growing up on the second richest street in Auckland. And presented by Aaron Simpson's only fans. It's the Edge Top Three. Oh, Erin Simpson. Sad her hard, guys.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Rest in peace. The... She's not dead. Doesn't she? Top three. Pieces of information that we need about the average New Zealander. Number one. One.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Do your scrunch or fold? I've always wanted to know what's more popular. and we've got a chance to find out guys. Ooh, what are we all? Fold. I'm like a rat round my finger. Of course you are. Wait, guys listening,
Starting point is 00:44:13 Harrison uses so much toilet paper more than any human I've ever known to exist. How many bags do you go through a week? One. One full family-sized thing of toilet paper. A bag of 12. I've watched Harrison because he leaves the toilet cubicle door open in the men's bathroom when he goes
Starting point is 00:44:29 and he just takes the whole roll off and just wipes him on the roll. He throws the roll straight down there and he gets another roll. Got one of those key records, unlock the actual... Oh, yeah. The toilet paper thing, yeah. Okay, top three pieces of information we need from every New Zealander. Two. Which super rugby team do you support?
Starting point is 00:44:45 It's New Zealand, right? It's our national sport. We need to know, truthfully, how many Chiefs fans we have, how many Crusaders fans we have, how many kids do you have? What's your household income? Who cares? Chiefs or Sators, mate? What are you thinking?
Starting point is 00:44:57 Yeah, and that's a good question to ask everybody. I do think you've hit the nail on the head. I do think the Chiefs and the Crusaders would be the top two. Sorry Highlanders, Blues, or the Hurricanes fans. But I do think population would be up there with Chiefs and Crusaders, don't you think?
Starting point is 00:45:12 I don't know. I think a better sense of this question would be league or rugby. So as you know, the Warriors become such a big thing. Quite trendy, you could almost say in the last couple of years. There's more league fans out there. Rugby's getting boring. I said it. Getting boring.
Starting point is 00:45:25 You want to know what code he runs into. Yeah, rugby's, uh, There's a younger generation that enjoy it. It's way too formal. Have you been in all that's game recently? It's so corporate. It's so corporate. All the money and all the like everything.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Yeah. That's what I'm saying. So then they could say, oh, in 2010, more people like Union, but in 20205. This is the information we need. Yes. A third bit of info. Three. What's your favourite 660 song?
Starting point is 00:45:47 I like finest wine, but I'm probably the minority. I'd say white lions might be the favorite, but it's information once again that we really should know. It's the Edge Top Three. And I thought, let's actually do it right now. a live survey, a census, if you will, on the show. We can do this weekly. Ichavo survey, a census. So since they're not doing it anymore,
Starting point is 00:46:06 clever. We'll do it. Yeah. We'll call the Ejavo survey, I mean census. That's clever. That's the full name, the title. So the way it works is every week, all three of us come up with one bit of data that we want to know. And then you call 0-800 the edge, we fill the phone lines. All you do is give us that data. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:21 Okay. So what piece of information do you want to know? Oh, God. Oh, do you own a cat or a dog at your house? I want to know if there's more... It's too close to sexual sex. Something like... Oh, God, okay.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Did you wear braces at school? Sure. Is this two bored ago? What's your favourite chip flavour? Love that. Great. It's right. Favorite chip flavour?
Starting point is 00:46:46 Did you want to change yours? You're happy with that? Oh my gosh. You're so hard, please. Favorite milkshake flavor? Is that too true? Let's let's go with a super rakey-wise. Okay, I'll go with the super rakey on.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Hey, I've got a good idea. I'll go, what's your favourite, super rugby team? How about that? Great idea. Get great. Great, do that. Super rugby team, chip flavour. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:04 And I want to know what song is overplayed in bars in New Zealand. Great. Okay, so these are the three bits of information. So, 0,800 the edge, just call up. Nothing else. So you just call up and go, what was your one again? The one you're forcing me to do, the super rugby one. Okay, so you go chiefs, salt and vinegar, into club.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Maine. That's all we want to know. Easy. Okay. O800 the edge. The Edge Census is underway and we will be accepting a government subsidy for it.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. The New Zealand government have decided to stop doing the census today. It cost too much money. Too much bloody, mate. $325 million it cost to do in 2023 and they do it every five years. So we've taken up the mantle

Please call 800 of the edge just for our data, just for our senses, just for our survey here. And the questions are, what Super Rugby team do you follow? So that's your question. Mine is, what's your favourite chip flavour?
Starting point is 00:48:06 And mine is, what song is overplayed in the bars of New Zealand? So for me, I think Evichi levels gets played a lot. Oh, yeah, that would be a good one. It's a good song. What about Indy Club? Indy Club gets played a lot. So much. So much.
Starting point is 00:48:21 We get played a lot. I don't say Geronimo. I always hear that one at the club. It's a great. Hey, just on the Indy Club thing. You don't. All the time. If the song Indy Club isn't played
Starting point is 00:48:30 under club, but where would it get played anymore? That's what I'm saying. You don't play Indy Club into birthday. Tough. All right, we got to Charlie first. Welcome to the Edge Arvo's census, Charlie. Your three answers, please.

I've got to go with classic salt and vinegar. Oh, yum. And then for the overplayed song, I think Pink Pony Club. It's a good song, but it's hard to dance too.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Good work, Jamie. That's actually good song. Nailed the brief. So we need to do this. This was good. This was good. Haley, hello, Haley. Hello.

Starting point is 00:51:26 Maybe one day. Where were we revealing the census results? I don't know, Sean. Have you thought about when we're revealing the census results? I've got to monetise it, obviously. We'll go through the process and we'll get back to you. Cool. Anyway, thanks filling out the census for 2025.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Our boss Casey joins us in studio right now for what may be the very last time. You may have heard of Boss Casey, his name thrown around, been at the Edge for roughly 20 years. And today is your last day, mate. congratulations on a great innings. We've also realised that because it's your last day
Starting point is 00:52:00 and you're kind of in the departure lounge, we, for a brief period in our career in the career that's quite fickle, things come and go, we found ourselves unfirable for the next three hours. Yeah, you're in the golden zone right now. I know. I honestly don't care. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:16 We actually caught him. And that's genuine, too. We'll call him as he's on his way out the door. He's like, on last day, let me go. Okay. I'm going to run a week-long HR process. I don't think so. Just before you, we're listening,
Starting point is 00:52:27 but we asked people to text in what they would dream about texting or saying to their own boss. And through radio and through us talking to you, our boss, we're going to do their messages in a way. I know what's going to happen here, though, is that you're going to sneak in a few things that you just want to say yourself
Starting point is 00:52:46 and pretend that, you know? No, but genuinely, no. Genuinely, it sounds like on our text machine there are some horrible bosses out there that people would love to say these things that you're about to hear to them. But genuinely, Casey, you've been an amazing boss and we're all going to miss you very much.
Starting point is 00:53:00 You're very, very funny and very awesome. And we owe all three of us owe our jobs and lives to you. But also, you're an evil dictator and no one likes you. Sorry, no one's Emma. Emma texts that on three, three, three. Okay, can I read this one out? Yeah, go through.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Okay, this is from Anonymous. I hope you step in a large puddle after work on the way to dinner. And the bottom of your trousers get so, smoking wet and you don't even have time to go home and get changed. It would be awful. That would be awful. So I'd ask Texan, I'd love to shag your mum.
Starting point is 00:53:34 I made that one up. I thought it might have been my dad. Oh, that would have been. Sorry about it. So it's our boss's last day if you just tuned in. These are texts that you've always wanted to say to your boss. And we thought we'd just say them to our boss since he's out of here anyway. So he can be the sounding board for it.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Someone's texting. You've got coffee breath and your kids are annoying? Okay. Just wondering, do you micromanage because you're insecure or you just enjoy the power trip? I don't reckon you're getting fired for these yet? Okay. Casey, I reckon you should just own the micro penis.
Starting point is 00:54:10 We're the first warning on that, I reckon. Really? Okay, okay. We're getting close. I'm glad your wife left you, you're a motionless asshole. I mean, sucks for whoever that's about. Yeah, yeah. For the person and the person texting it, I guess.
Starting point is 00:54:27 What about this one? Another anonymous person. I've learned so much from my boss, mostly how not to treat people. Yeah. Imagine having the balls, if your boss is genuinely so awful to you, imagine actually saying this stuff to them. It must make it feel. You should just do it, you guys.
Starting point is 00:54:45 Yeah. Just try it. Just say it. Maybe not the mic can penis one, but what have you got? Or this one. I'm going to miss your rectum puffs. No. I think the farts.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Ah. Yeah. Okay. Maybe. I don't know. Okay. This is good? It's impressive how confident you are for someone who clearly has no idea what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Fair. Any of these hitting home at all? That one's probably the closest. And this one just says, you're an ugly a-hole and I hate you. And I wish I could leave, but cosy lives. Yeah. Yeah. We feel you.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Someone texts in. It's definitely come from in the building. No, definitely not. Someone texted, I can't believe you're leaving your stable radio job to work in a declining alcohol industry. It's such a bad idea, and you're never going to get a gig as good as this one. So that was obviously about their boss.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Sit on your face and tell me you're my favourite. Are we meant to be reading text or making these up in our head? Are we finally saying the last words to him we want to say to him before he leaves? Okay, boss Casey, hey, thanks to being a sounding board, mate. I appreciate it. Well, let's actually go home now. Any last words? Your last time on The Edge?
Starting point is 00:55:55 You're going to say the last thing that ever announces on the last time? No, because that's a specifically announcement. You're wanting the peace out. Mother Ever. No, no. I'll leave that for you, guys. It's been a real pleasure. It's been a real pleasure.
Starting point is 00:56:06 It's been a bit buttoned it anyway. Oh, okay. No, it's been a pleasure and a privilege. And I love you all. And you're amazing. And now I can't wait to just listen and be a fan. Aww. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:56:20 The Edge. Ree. JZ on the Edge. Sean Stephen Harrison, she did a pretty good bloody Superval halftime show, did she did the worst one. I mean, they're all pretty good. None of them are bad. She was like six months pregnant.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Yeah, but just don't do it, then do it the next year. I'm sorry. Are you? That's so true, though, because you can't give it your rule. You're six months pregnant. But she did give it her all. She didn't. They danced around her. She didn't move, which is okay, you're pregnant. But her dancers were amazing and they were Periscopal dances. They were incredible. Yeah, problematic.
Starting point is 00:56:51 What's problematic about that? Paras gobble. No, I mean, yeah. So I've come across this guy on TikTok, who's gone viral for this. The BBC Radio won't have had him on. He's not only as he predicted what the Super Bowl halftime show should be for next year, but he's pitched these three artists. And you know I'm a fan of all three of these artists.
Starting point is 00:57:07 I don't think a better Super Bowl halftime show has ever been pitched. Listen to this. Tassau, it would work. Okay, Pitbull starts, you guys. I'm sorry. He's pitched Pitbull, Keshah. Kasha. Kasha and Flowrider.
Starting point is 00:57:21 All right. Here's how it would work. Okay, pit bull starts. He goes, I know you want me. Total silence, total silence in the arena. You know I want you. He rises, one, two, three, four does that into hotel room service. Keep it high Angie, keep it Dalai, keep in Miami. From there, we go into Fireball, total crowd pleaser.
Starting point is 00:57:41 From there, we go into Give Me Everything. And then he ends his little set with, don't stop the party. And here's some little footsteps. The party don't start to that. Oh, cool. Walking, it's going down Everyone with me, I'm yelling timber Proud's growing apes shit
Starting point is 00:57:58 Like at this point Pitbull then leaves And then cash-shot, it's all about cash-shop We hear TikTok and to take it off Okay, so this is, we're at 30 seconds This video goes for two and a half minutes Where he breaks down the entire performance Song for song and it eats
Starting point is 00:58:11 Incredible I said that it's not happening That needs to happen It's brilliant How incredible And then he's got this whole thing about Flowrider coming in on a bike And it's like
Starting point is 00:58:21 welcome to my house and then wild ones That's cool I'd love to see that Okay who would be on your dream Super Bowl Halftime show list You know that's
Starting point is 00:58:30 You know Pitbull is my favourite artist Of all time Is it? Pitbull is the greatest rapper in DJ That this industry has ever known And I think the two things He didn't do
Starting point is 00:58:40 Was rapping in DJ It means disrespectful That people don't give him Those flowers Pitbull needs to be If we're gonna give one To call play Or we're gonna give one to who
Starting point is 00:58:48 Kendrick Lamar Who's that Pit bull The pave the way for Kendrick Lamar. If people walk down the street, I would not recognise who it was. I would just, what does he look? I know he's bald. I just don't know what he looks like.
Starting point is 00:58:59 It's like a less attractive Jason Statham. Right, okay. You know, I want to my Super Bowl halftime show, my dream would be like a big field, you know? Headstones all around. So it looks like a big cemetery with the grass and the headstones. And then we've got wires attached all these artists who are lying down on the ground, ready to be pulled up.
Starting point is 00:59:16 And then they yanked up and the old artists that nobody really likes to listen to anymore. Not really relevant. Like Stevie Wonder's going to pop out of there You know So he's going to pop out Oh like genuinely like literally old Yeah
Starting point is 00:59:30 Kiss they're pretty old eh Yeah Shuey Lewis in the news Phil Collins He's going to pull out Then all his drums are going to come up One by one of different gravestones And the final one
Starting point is 00:59:41 And he's a big yanked out Flies up lands on the ground Is Frankie Valley And then four other ones Three other ones come out It's Frankie Valley In the four season they sing Sherry Literally, they're doing that with Frankie Valley
Starting point is 00:59:54 Yeah, but make me do it at the Super Bowl But he's like, you guys seen these videos He's like 99 He's like a robot And he's like, his family's like forcing him to go on tour And like lip sync to his old songs It's so sad Yeah, but wouldn't that be amazing
Starting point is 01:00:06 At the Super Bowl? Yeah, I could be like he's like I had different thinking than you I'm kind of like the like old school artist that we haven't heard from in a while So I'm but I'm thinking more close to home Like imagine saying like a Jackie Thomas Who?
Starting point is 01:00:19 A Benny Tipini. Oh, you want you. You want Kiwis that have fallen off the New Zealand To play the Super Bowl Ex-X-X Factor, New Zealand Specifically, I want X-X Factor Bowmonger. Yeah, I want that Super Bowl performance.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Hey, thanks for listening to the podcast. Hope you enjoyed it. So, you suckers. Actually, we haven't talked about this much on here, Harrison. You've been doing night shoots at the moment. You're leaving from this right now at the end of our radio show
Starting point is 01:00:50 and you're going to go off to shoot your show again? Yes. You were shooting it this morning as well? Yes. Isn't it every day this week? Morning and night? Yes. You must be exhausted.
Starting point is 01:01:00 It's a lot. And then I go home, probably about 10.30, and I'll learn on my line for the next day. Poor. And then go to sleep. I've been saying, I've been talking about it. I've got like a tummy ache at the moment. I think it's because I'm so stressed or tired.
Starting point is 01:01:14 So, okay, can I visualize you on your day? Yes. So you're up at what hour? 5.30? 530, the alarm goes off. You shower, get in the car, you drive to set, you try and learn your lines probably in the car on the way as well as the night before.
Starting point is 01:01:29 You are on set, you're working, you're acting, you're in the zone, you're maybe emotional, depending on what your character's doing, but like it's a lot of energy expelling. A lot. And then you drive here to the radio show where you're expected to come up with ideas, be wacky, be crazy, be the funny guy,
Starting point is 01:01:45 be rah-w-w-rah on here. And then after the radio, show, you go back to set, you probably learn your lines on the way in the drive, and then do more acting, acting, acting, energy, energy, energy, and you get home at 1030, you learn lines the best you can, and then you maybe finally get to sleep at about midnight-ish, if you can even sleep at all because you're so wired. Yeah. And then your alarm goes off at 5.30
Starting point is 01:02:04 again. Yes. Fuck. Pretty crazy. Pretty grateful. Yeah. Greatful of the jobs. But that's so full on. It is. It's a pretty crazy time. And that's why I do apologize to you, too. There's definitely a bit a few days where I'm just like bad. Like I struggled to speak to anybody, struggle to socialise. It's tough. It's tough to go and do a radio show.
Starting point is 01:02:27 I'm just going to tell you the honest truth at the moment. It's like fuck, it's a lot to come in and talk. God. Because like the set, it's like, I mean, yes, it's tiring, acting so much, but it's just like the adrenaline of remembering the hit the spot, hit the lines, hit the beats. Concentrating so hard. Everyone's on you. If you fuck up.
Starting point is 01:02:46 You've fucked up a crew of 60 people. All right, let's reset everything you've just done because you've forgot your line or you haven't done this mark. So I think that, and then I come in here and I'm just like, oh, fuck, I'm tired. And then go back. And yeah. It's so much energy expelling and not much rest. No.
Starting point is 01:03:03 And a lot of concentrating, a lot of using your brain power. So, God, you must be shattered. Yes. Well, I will be off tomorrow. Yes. I'll not be on the show tomorrow. Acting, acting, acting. Full day.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Full intimacy day. You're not off. You've taken a day off. but you're going to be, just so you can work your other job. I've taken a day off to shag. But make, make-breden, make-believe. I want to hear about it. Do you wear the loin cloths?
Starting point is 01:03:25 What is the loin cloth? Like a, I don't have like... No, it's like a shield. Skin-coloured cocksock, yeah. It's like a pouch that you pull the sides and it goes over your penis. They still see your bum? At this point, if we've ever done this yet, so I'm really new. I've wore one before, actually.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Oh, I can't wait to hear about it. But anyway, let's let you go. Yeah, go. Because you clearly have had a bit. very long day. I hope you enjoyed the podcast.
