Is that men's netball? Yeah, I'm trying to flip it up, you know? Everyone's like, talk about women's rugby. I'm like, talk about men's netball. Is it sexist for me to say I didn't know there was like men's netball out there?

Starting point is 00:06:52 I just say As 15 minutes into the show Two men doing the show today This is dangerous territory to walk I don't think there's any danger in there I think there's only uplifting And women you're gonna get me You're gonna be like, yeah boy, finally
Starting point is 00:07:08 He's in, he's one of us Now with the last few days I've been filming my TV show Ahikaro which I go and film when I'm not here I'm doing that And in the show There's a big capahatta scene that we're doing a mid-eye.
Starting point is 00:07:25 And I have to, I'm spoilers, I'm in the team. So I have to perform kapa haka. And they were like, yeah, okay, you have to wear traditional Kappa Haka outfit. So no shirt, shirtless, guns out, I was okay with that, confident.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Not at all. Very subconscious. Slap a bit of oil on there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The classic thing you remember Kappa Haka is like a pu-poo. Now, Sean, you probably know what this is. It's kind of like a wooden, flax, bamboo skirt.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Like a skirt. Yeah, yeah. When they swing and kind of goes, shh, so I was told we were wearing that until the day before we were filming the next day, and they're like,
Starting point is 00:08:01 you're actually now wearing a muddle. I was like, oh, well, what's a muddle? And they're like, well, it's kind of this, like, triangle, this purple feathery triangle that you stick in front of your front bits.
Starting point is 00:08:13 So it's kind of like an actually arrow pointing down and then a string that goes around your waist. I was like, what about the back? They're like, there's no back to it? It's like nah
Starting point is 00:08:23 it's just kind of a front piece and then just ass out I was like what about when I bend over and stuff yeah it was traditional they don't wear anything I was like
Starting point is 00:08:30 okay guys that's not okay I can't do that and a lot of Māi people who do covering and stuff they have like

Starting point is 00:08:52 That's not a joke. It's convex. Yes. And so I was like, gosh, what am I going to do to get out of this? And they were like, you can wear a G string. And I was like, oh. What is happening? I was like, okay, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:09:06 I will have to wear the G string. And they're like, okay, do you want to take it home tonight before you come tomorrow to get used to it? I was like, no, no, don't worry about it. It's just, we're going to have to do in the day because. I don't know. What's getting used to it going to do? Just a feel of it.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Just sit around for a while. Yeah, I can get it. I don't know. I don't want to wear it and then, yeah, I don't know. And so like, come the day, they go in costume through here, I chuck it on. Ladies, what a feeling. What a feeling to feel naked, but you're covered. It was the best thing in the world.
Starting point is 00:09:43 I did this whole cup harker performance. My ass out, G-banger up. I feel so confident. That's the first end of the morning. We do it for an hour. For the rest of the day, the director comes out to me. And the afternoon goes, oh, yes, I'm. so crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:56 You're still rocking the G-banger? I was like, yep. Like, no, seriously, you're still wearing it? It's like, yeah, I haven't taken it off. We're wearing jeans. Yeah, I'm wearing jeans. I'm wearing a different costume. So I was right a G-banger all day.
Starting point is 00:10:07 How good? And the craziest part, when I went home, I went to the... I got changed in front of the costume at the end of the day. Pull my pants down, they're like, whoa, mate. It shouldn't look like that? I was like, gosh, it's comfy, isn't it? He's like, you're wearing it backwards.
Starting point is 00:10:23 You're wearing it backwards. Those shouldn't be out. I was like, oh. So put it on the right way. Not as comfy, quite a widgey. I enjoyed the back pouch a lot more. Okay, okay, I'm not sure. But I get you, ladies.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Gee-bangers. Feminism. Gee-bangers. Have you worn? You know what? I haven't, man. Maybe I... Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:10:49 I was going to say I'll borrow yours. I won't. Oh, dude. I'm trying to look into one. They change color afterwards. Your Arvos hit harder. With Sean. Steph and Harrison
Starting point is 00:10:58 The Edge And I am on a journey New Zealand a journey to provide you with a fact that is so shareable so original and performed to such a degree that it is Sean's five star fact So far I've had no five star facts
Starting point is 00:11:12 I've had a few high fours I have been part of five star facts I once got Tammy the Briscoes lady and she said a five star fact Yeah she did I fed her the fact And brought her in but I did you feed her the fact Yeah I gave her the fact
Starting point is 00:11:26 Did you? Yeah and then she did But there's a deem's not mine. Nah, to be honest, if you said it, probably a three. Because it was her. It was Brisco's Lady Tammy. It was the Brisco's lady doing a homewheres theme fact,
Starting point is 00:11:37 and I understand that. But the criteria is it's that shareability, originality and performance. Judges residing today, Harrison Keith. Nurse Sam, producer both. And should we get a third judge
Starting point is 00:11:53 on? I wait 100 of the edge. Yeah, get it at home. I think we need this. O 800 of the edge. Are you listening right now? Because usually Steph is the third judge and then in the past we've thought
Starting point is 00:12:01 we're just two judges and if I get a high score then Steph won't accept it the next day when she comes back. Yeah. So getting a bit of a listener judge, I feel like. And we're getting some tough judges. I mean I can be pretty tough.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Steph can be pretty tough. It's pretty hard to know. Nurse Andrew is pretty nice. Pretty nice. Yeah. It's good, yeah. It kind of depends which day you catch you on as well. But today's fact is, I've even themed this fact
Starting point is 00:12:23 today around the fact that it is national fashion day today. We've got Rome from Topor, who's our judge as well. Welcome, Rome. Cure to, my brain. Cure to Rome. All right. I'm going to give you a fact, man.
Starting point is 00:12:34 You just rated out of five, all right? Yeah, logic. All right. It's a fashion fact today. It's national fashion day. Today's fact is, In the United States, each person owns an average of seven pairs of blue jeans.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It's a lot of jeans. It's a lot of jeans. It's a lot of jeans. Rome, Judge Rome. How does that fact sound here, mate? What do you mean? How does that facts sound dear, mate? What's your first thoughts?
Starting point is 00:13:07 First thought. It sounds false. Sorry, bro. It's okay. Look, I've fact-checked this one because I have actually, Rome. I have said some false facts in the past, and they're deemed a non-facts, so I have put a bit more research into it. It is true that on average, if you combine all the genes in the US
Starting point is 00:13:27 with the amount of people, it is seven people, There's seven pairs. That does mean that some cowboys maybe have 20 pairs of jeans. Other people have two pairs. Yeah. Rome, how many pairs of jeans do you have, bro? I only have two, bro.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Two pairs of jeans. See, I'd say that's normal. That makes the fact interesting to me. Okay. You know the more we talk about this fact, Sean? Yeah. I think Rome may agree. And Nurse Sam, it's not very good.
Starting point is 00:13:50 It's quite a boring fact. Okay. You wouldn't repeat that if you're like, hey, you're wearing jeans today? People in the US have seven pairs of jeans. Yeah. Like, Rome, if you were out having some drinks with the boys, would you be talking about this fact to them or nah?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Nah, no, probably not. Yeah. All right, Rome, you give us the first vote, mate. Out of five, what would you rate that fact? Be honest, please. Yeah, there, Rome. Out of five, rate the fact. Four.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Four. Okay, not bad. Not badness, Sam. What are you thinking? I'm giving it a two. Okay. Yeah. Fair enough. Harrison.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Oh, one man. I didn't love that fact today. Sorry. You know what? It looked better ridden down. As I said it out loud, I might, I probably wouldn't repeat that either. Yeah. Oh, well, that's all about. We learn. We get stronger. Hey, up next on the show, we need someone. It's called 0-800 the edge. If you are a parent looking after your children this school holidays,
Starting point is 00:14:50 we want to talk to you about how it's going, and then Harrison and I are going to pitch to you what we would do to babysit your kids on a school holidays day, and you can decide who would be the best at looking after someone's children. Yeah, and if you've got kids, call up and they can listen to the pitch and they can decide. Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.
Starting point is 00:15:10 And it is school holidays right now. A lot of parents out there probably listening to the show. Looking forward to school holidays coming to an end can be a little stressful, especially with the weather. Harrison and I both have experience in childcare at different moments of our life. I don't know if you do. My mother is actually a home child care teacher. He has been with the last 20, 25 years.
Starting point is 00:15:32 And I have younger siblings. At one point I looked after them. Child care. Yeah, but they've always said you were kind of like, you know, the tough older brother. Exactly. One that abandoned them, the one that kind of just shoved and said, you're no good, I didn't get that when I was your age.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Stuff you. Yeah, thicken your skin up. So that's going to be hard for you to do your pitch today, I feel. So anyway, this is where we're at. We can't decide who would be the best caregiver. So we want to pitch to you right now. 0800 the edge. Are you a parent on school holidays?
Starting point is 00:15:59 Sarah joins the show from Auckland. Welcome, Sarah. school holidays going for you? It's going all right. It's going all right. Yeah, pretty hectic, is it? Yeah, well, with boys, it's always chaotic.
Starting point is 00:16:15 How many boys? I've got two boys. Okay, what's their names? And then I've got my son's name is Elijah and other son's name is Brooklyn, but I've got Elijah's friend here at the moment, Romeo. Oh, they're here right now? Yes, they are.
Starting point is 00:16:33 What's up, boys? What's up, lads? Hello. Hello, all right. Yeah, Scott Andrew one. All right, I'll start. I'll go first. I'll pitch what I do for a little school holidays,
Starting point is 00:16:43 you know, babysitting, and then Harrison will have a turn. You guys can decide which one sounds the best, all right? All right, all right. That's not in for this. Sounds good. All right, it's 9 p.m. We're getting ready for bed. You're getting settled in.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Tomorrow's a big day. It's another day of school holidays. All of a sudden, what are you here? What's that outside? It's a Harley Davidson. Ridden by Sean Hill from the edge. Oh, yeah. I thought he was meant to pick us up to look after us
Starting point is 00:17:11 to school holidays in the morning. Nah, man, he's here at 9pm. We're starting a day early. Road trip! Get on the back of the Harley. We're cruising down to the Adventure Capital of New Zealand. Rotorua. Or near enough to it,
Starting point is 00:17:25 Pataridu, which is 45 minutes away, and we will be sleeping on the floor of my mate, Damos' house. Yeah. Get a couple hours of shut-eye on the back of the Harley. We crash on Damos 4. Get up in the morning, bright and early. Cup of tea with Damo. He's a good yarn.
Starting point is 00:17:40 You'll love him. Then back on the road to Rotta Vegas. Straight to the luge. We're on there. They want us to go down the beginner track to learn how to use it. Nah, mate. Straight down the advance. Scrood!
Starting point is 00:17:52 We bump into each other, having a bit of fun. Not too much fun. Don't worry. No one's getting hurt, but we're not going to listen to these. bloody nancy pansy lefties telling us to go down the beginner track first. Am I right, boys? Then it's off to Macas for lunch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Get whatever you want. Nuggets. A Big Mac. Of course, we'll have a side of apple slices because health's important. Wink, wink, tell your mum we did that. I'm just kidding. You can have whatever you want. I'll get you a bear.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I don't care. Then it's off to the Redwoods. We'll go for a walk. I'll find the biggest stick we can find and we play nights for two to four hours before it's back to the big smoke. and back to bed. What a great day of the school holidays. That is pretty insane.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Lads, how did that sound to you? Good. Amazing. Yeah, good. And amazing. Awesome. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Harrison's a lame idea of what he's going to do. Okay. Your kids wake up. Where are we? They hear an announcement over a speaker from me saying, good morning, kids, and welcome to the jungle. Their beds are next to each other in the top of a tree house and the monkey enclosure at the Auckland Zoo.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Every kind of monkey is swinging around the trees. They sit down to the bottom of the enclosure. A massive orangutan sits there. They go in, they give them a big old hug. How nice. I escort them out of the enclosure and they put snorkels and wetsuits on. They slide down a big ice slide into a pool full of millions of different kind of fish, seals, dolphins.
Starting point is 00:19:25 The dolphins play with them, swim. They pop them up into this. slab of ice with these penguins and tap shoes. The boys put on their tap shoes. They tap dance with penguins. How insane is that? After that they get a warm jacket on and Milos and I go lunchtime labs, open up two doors. It's a buffet of any food you could ever want in your life. There's so much food. After the full, they go outside to the bird enclosure. They put on a harness and clip themselves with the feet of two eagles. The eagles fly up, fly them around Auckland City. They fly past the sky tower, past the windows. They waver all the people in there.
Starting point is 00:19:56 They drop them back home. On arrival, I have two hot chocolates for their arrival. They walk inside. We play a bit of fortnight. They go to sleep. The mum gets home. We take them to bed. And as I'm leaving, I go to get in my car and they open their window and yell out.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Thanks, Uncle Harry. I turn around and say, I just care. I'm going to... Pretty good. Yours are getting more and more unrealistic every time we do this. You don't train 100 zoo animals. Clearly here. She would have not been to the Auckland Zoo.
Starting point is 00:20:26 You want a child to hung in orangutan. That thing will... I'm not going to say what it will do, but you can't. Boys, what's your thoughts? Who do you want to vote for? Can we start with Elijah? What do you reckon, Bo? I reckon sleeping in a monkey enclosure,
Starting point is 00:20:41 not the best start. Oh, there's safety, there's cages and stuff, so you'll be safe if that changes your opinion. All right, which one do you reckon? Sean or Harrison's? What are we thinking, lads? I think I think I'm Sean. I think Sean is, well.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Cheers, Les. Hope the rest of the school, they suck, by the way. What's that, Sarah? Sean's as well. Amazing. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. When do you have to use a fake name at a cafe?
Starting point is 00:21:13 Do you ever do it? Your name's Harrison, I'd assume if you're getting a coffee order and you go, what's your name for that, you're going with Harry? Yeah, I used just to Harrison. That was like for the show when I got the job. I was open. So, you know, a lot of radios are like, Sean Stephen has or Harry. I decided to keep Harrison.
Starting point is 00:21:32 So I didn't nickname it. As the person who has to say it every time we talk, what I'll punish. That's a long one. Three-syllable name. Who do you think you are? Sean Steph, our two names combined are shorter than yours. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:21:43 But it looks good because it's long. But most of that real estate. Yeah. I can't say I do for coffees, but if I go bowling, I went bowling recently. I changed my name to Simon. And my girlfriend called me out. I was like, oh, thank you two big time.
Starting point is 00:22:00 You think if people here see Harrison and they're going to come over and be like, oh my God, you're Harrison. And I said, no, that wasn't the reason why. But then I was like, but why did I then? So I think that might have been why. It's your version of Tom Cruise wearing a baseball cap. I think so.
Starting point is 00:22:16 I was a bit dusty. You didn't want to be seen. Simon. Aceta on the show, that's a tough one. Aceta, you've got to be changing your name at a coffee shop. No one's getting that correct. Yeah. Yeah, every time I say my name to the, like to the verista, they're always like,
Starting point is 00:22:32 oh, yeah, okay, I'll put your name down. Is that a seta? And then I'm like, oh, no, it's a cedar. They're like, oh, how do you spell it? And every time I spell it, they actually add in like an extra T-E or a T-A in my name. This is the problem. So what are you going? Just something easy.
Starting point is 00:22:51 You go by E. You go by E. You go by E. Yeah. And I find my name pretty easy to pronounce. Like, it's just vowels. What is it? Aceta.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Yeah. You're saying it right. Yeah. Come on. You should be able to figure it out. But it's so annoying. Yeah, I do this. I've noticed Jeannie, my girlfriend does it.
Starting point is 00:23:11 She never goes with Jeannie. Not that it's a hard, I think it's just like if you are so sick of trying to spell your name, then you just go by something easier. Yeah. But I think you should just be also proud of your name. It's not the English language. people just get bitter at it. But sometimes it's just convenient.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Like the amount of Uber's I've got on, they've gone Uber for sin. Yeah. Because it's how my name's written. I just go, yep, sure. I actually ask a few people in the office, do they change their names for their coffees? My name's Clara,
Starting point is 00:23:36 and I always just change it to Lara because that's what they write anyway, so it's no point. My name's Lisa or Lease. I always say my name's Sarah, wherever I go. I'm Georgia with a J, and I change it to just J.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Just make it easy. We never put the J in there, so... Yeah, well, they're always going to get it wrong, So just Jay. Okay, come on. These are like the most basic white names as well. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Oh, I've got to change my name from Lisa because it's too difficult. No, people don't really get Georgia. I reckon they've got it. Clara, you can't call yourself Lara. Put a C in front of there. No, it's too hard because then they go, Lara, is that for me? Cut up the metal man. Moldy names I get.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I've got a friend called Tuayrangi, you know? Yeah. And I remember saying when the first time met, I'm like, T. He also goes, my name's Toiranghi, and I felt like a piece of shit. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. What do you change your name to at a cafe?
Starting point is 00:24:34 You don't want them to spell it wrong. You're sick of correcting them. You're thinking your whole life. You're going stuff it. I'm something else. Benson Boone. That is a guy who is not going by Benson. He's going by Ben.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Oh, come on. Benson's easy. No, if I'm Benson Boone and I'm getting a flat wide at the Wild Ben Cafe. They'll go, what name is that? I'll go, Ben. Why are people so like slow with, sorry any cafe works out there, slow it not getting the names right? Like Starbucks was notoriously bad for doing there. But why?
Starting point is 00:25:02 Like I bet you get it because your name's Sean, S-E-A-N, different types of Sean. But other ones like Georgia or Lisa like we said before, I was like, well, you can write there. Well, I think it's just a hard. Benson. It's hard. Ben-son. No, because they're quite a while away. There's a counter between them.
Starting point is 00:25:19 There's always like this kind of music going on. there's some people talking like this, and then you go, say, what's your name? Hey, what's your coffee name, mate? Benson? Benson. Yeah. Benzen.
Starting point is 00:25:30 No. With a Zed? No. Benzen. Benson. Ben's son. Wait, sorry. They're not very far away.
Starting point is 00:25:37 They're right at the counter. It's loud in there. The busy cafe. What is your name? Yeah. Benson. See, this is it. And this is the problem with that.
Starting point is 00:25:46 No, that's a problem. I'll wait, 100, the edge. Shana Marie. You wouldn't give that to some, a barista, would you? Hello, no, I wouldn't. I've been a barista, and I certainly wouldn't want to try and spell that. Really? So you've got the old double name there, Shana Marie.
Starting point is 00:26:01 That's a... I do. That may overwhelm him a little bit. Well, Shana, on its own, is overwhelming. Everybody gets it wrong, so I just go by Marie, and they spell that wrong as well. But, hey, whatever, I don't care. It's just ordering coffee, right? Yes, I guess so.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Wow. The double barrel, we can't get the single one right. Aridus. Welcome to the show Hi How often do you Wait, you went to school with Harrison Oh
Starting point is 00:26:28 I think so Oh Yeah, Adidas, what's up Nah, jokes Hey, how are you That's a dumb joke Good, how are you Oh my gosh, yes
Starting point is 00:26:37 I remember you I remember this happening all the time All the time Yep, thanks Adidas And you say that And how do they write it usually Oh, people add in like
Starting point is 00:26:49 Extra D's or I Yeah, but it's like even... Or just even the pronunciation of it's, like, just annoying enough. Even at school, like, roll call, you know, Tudor comes in. Addidas! Yeah. Well, it's a beautiful name, Adidas, and I'm sorry it's rough out there for you. Who is it?
Starting point is 00:27:06 Wait, which group of people is it in the word who actually call Adidas, Adidas, anyway? There's some British people who do it. Yeah, I think it's a bit of a mix. I think Americans? Americans, yeah. Like, I was called the other one, Nikki. Yeah, you do that. Nicky, the big tick.
Starting point is 00:27:20 It's really annoying. Yeah, it has been annoying. Hey, Ardetus, thanks so much for calling in. Thanks, bye. Bye. Bye. See you. And Cobbon, Coben.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Coben, is it? Coben. Yeah, Coben. Coben. Coben. I've never heard of a Cobain, I'm going to say. It was after Kurt Cobain. Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Cobain, Cobain. Yeah, exactly. Wait, is your name Coben based after Cobain? Yes. So, Coben, what do you go by, man, at a cafe? What are you going for? I'm just right down bin, and then they, like, get real confused. Bin?
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yeah, exactly. Oh, and someone else. Another barista makes it, and then the other barista sees it sitting there ready and just chucks it. Ben? Bin's it. Yeah, exactly. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Sean, as you know, in my career, it's been a career. What have you worked here? Five months? Yeah, five months, but I do a bit of acting, did a bit of social media. Now I'm doing radio. Sorry, how long have those things gone? Two years? The acting, 2021, probably kicked off for me. Four years. Four years. The radio, five months, the social media, I'm going to say about a year and a bit.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Okay. But I've been slowly working with the highlight and scenes to get to this point, you know. It's been a hustle, but nobody's seen, but now they see. And now I'm getting these awesome opportunities. So, as someone should do, I'm going to write a book. Some people around the office have been saying, man, you should write a book. Here's some crazy tales, some crazy moments. Chris Pacher, he did this.
Starting point is 00:29:00 He used to be on the show. Yeah. And I got a copy of it. I was flicking through it. And I was like, I could do this. I can make it way thicker than this. It was more of a pamphlet. I could make, you know, I can make a Lord of the Rings Size book of my stories.
Starting point is 00:29:12 I'm not in the author's game, but is that what it comes down? Is that what separates a good book from a bad book is girth? Yeah, you want a pamphlet or do you want a brick? Yeah. I think of brick means man, you've got some stories. And I'm only 25. I'm thinking of trilogy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Every 25 years, I reckon there's going to be a new book out. And I've got a name for you. You get hit me. Here's the name. Harrowing Keefe. It's a sort of a play on words there with Harrison Keefe, but harrowing Keith. Because my life is harrowing.
Starting point is 00:29:42 what I've been through to get here. Okay. I mean, a lot more, let's be honest, easily and privileged to other people's lives, I'd say. See your life hasn't been that bad. A harrowing, mate. I didn't grow up rich, but, you know, I had a roof. I had water, so it's harder out there.
Starting point is 00:30:00 But, I mean, in the nicest way to sell copies, I think harrowing key, because it has been harrowing some things. I got a bit of sore throat today. Doing radio? Harrowing behaviour. So you wanted to read me an excerpt from this book, so I could kind of see.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Sorry, he speaking Spanish. Yes. Very multicultural. You'll read about it in the book. So this is the first opening monologue to the story of heroin keef, okay? Here's my first excerpt. Please text to it through on 3343.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Your opinions on this. And Sean, open your ears, please, mate. It's another late night hanging with the group. Then something unusual. A distant thump, near. The waves of sound throbbed through my body. Suddenly, I am propelled at the speed of light, thrown around like China in a shot when a bull storms through. I come to a sudden stop, floating in the abyss, alone, scared. My tribe has left me. A day goes by, a week, a month,
Starting point is 00:31:03 still alone, still naked. But over the time I age, I grow, then just when I've had a I see it. I see the light. I push myself towards it. I flush out to the hands from above. Oh, God. Sticky. Wet, gasping for air.
Starting point is 00:31:25 The screams and cry surround me. And Harrison Keefe was born. You know, I was wondering, the start of that, I was wondering what that was about? And obviously I've realized. Can you go just read the start part of that again, now that we've got the context? It's another late night hanging with the group.
Starting point is 00:31:43 We're not doing it. Yeah, but I make it, I'm alone. Then I come out. I don't think you can remember being a sperm, is all I'm saying. Well, Mike, like I said, because you're quite shocked on writing a book at this age. Yeah. I've got to do every detail of my life to fill that book up. You're starting before the start.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Yeah, I'm starting before the birth. Wow, not many people do that, really. I'm doing the transitional. No one does the transition. Yeah. From man to woman. You could even write a prequel. I could write a prequel.
Starting point is 00:32:07 About your parents. Yeah. Conceiving you. I mean, I don't know. I'm just saying I'm throwing options out there. But do you reckon that's a good opener? Because it's quite poetic, and then people are, oh my gosh, he's talking about, you know, pre-growing in mum's tummy. Sure, man.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I don't, like, I'm not interested in this. Swimming contest, you can almost call it. Your Avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. What is your interaction you've had with Stan Walker? Stam! Degrees of Stan is the game. A prize up for grabs for what Harrison and I deem is the best Stan Walker interaction story? Yes, and I'll give you a little hint.
Starting point is 00:32:44 you're calling, I still want him to call up and I'm under the edge. The best story that usually wins is the one with the most degrees. That's the sweet spot. That's the cousins,
Starting point is 00:32:52 aunties, Walker's dogs, brothers, sister. That'll win. I think this is a safe space for people to share the Stan Walker story
Starting point is 00:32:59 that you'd never feel like you'd normally share. Yeah. Be it too embarrassed. Like, I mean, you know, we've all past you once
Starting point is 00:33:04 but never say it. Say it. Tell us everything. Exactly. Let's go to Frankie and Topor. Frankie. How are you, I am?
Starting point is 00:33:12 Welcome to the show. Hi. Frankie, you've met Stan Walker. What happened? So me, my mum and my sister were in a home before the weekend and we went to this cafe and he was sitting there with his daughter eating lunch and my sister was saying to my mum,
Starting point is 00:33:34 that's him, that's him. And my mum kept on saying, no, it isn't. Oh, it's a pretty good story, Frankie. So you kind of technically, you had breakfast with Stan Walker. Yeah. That's pretty cool. It's amazing Frankie. Sorry, Frankie, just did you figure out whether it actually was Stan or not?
Starting point is 00:33:51 Or was your sister, like, was it Stan Walker? Yeah, it was. Okay. Right. That's pretty cool, Frankie. You're going to not give the prize to a kid, Harrison? I don't know. Should we hang up with the other calls or listen?
Starting point is 00:34:02 Your D-bag? It's good. as Dan Walker in the back of Patalado. I was off on a road trip with some friends and it was middle of the night and me being female and needed to go to the bathroom. And so I pulled up out the back of a gas station in Patalano where they had one of those dodgy old grotty toilets
Starting point is 00:34:32 and yeah, he was just coming out as I was going in and hanging out there with his mate. He's always hanging out of his mates in the weirdest places. That's an incredible story. Jasmine, that is so in the integrity of what this is. So he was, you used the bathroom right after Stan Walker at a Pataruru gas station. Yeah. That's great.
Starting point is 00:34:56 It's exactly what we're looking for. Thank you, Jasmine. Dawn, also in Tauranga. A lot of Tauranga people have these stories, Stan being a Taranga local himself. Dawn, what happened? Well, many months ago, I met Stavon Walker at the winery in Taronga, and we went up to get something signed, and my husband, because we had had a few, said, ask him to sign your cleavage.
Starting point is 00:35:15 And I'm like, no, no, I can't do that. And he went, go on a day, yes, so I went up there, got my piece of card signed, and then I said, can you sign these? And he looked at me and then looked at the husband and went, no, I'm sorry, mate, I can't do that. And my husband turned to him out to me and said, see, I told you he wouldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I felt like a idiot. Oh, jeez. You tried to get Stan Walker to sign your boots. Dawn. That's crazy, Dawn. He made me in Utah. I still can't stop laughing, and this is years ago. It's a pretty good story.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Dawn, if you ever see me in the streets of TGA and I've got a Sharpie on me, I'll sign him. Okay, I'll be there. I'm too keen there, Dawn. All right, and Alec, finally, it's got to Alec. Alec, welcome to the show. What's your degrees to stand? So I climb into my car. I turn it on, I turn the radio on, and I listen to it.
Starting point is 00:36:11 about, on average, three or four people every Wednesday talk about how they met Stan Walker. Where do you listen to that, man? In my car on the edge. Oh, so he listens to his degree is listening to the segment every week, which is probably, you probably had a lot of degrees to Stan Walker. That's like almost some of the most degrees of Stan Walker doing that. It's a full, massive circle.
Starting point is 00:36:33 It's a good gag. I appreciate that, Ale, I am going to vote for Dawn. Yes. because she tried to get her cleavage signed by Stan Walker and he didn't do it and I think that's the greatest story ever. That is good. Can I just say one thing though? Yeah. You know what I'm going to say?
Starting point is 00:36:49 Frankie, the child, had breakfast to Stan Walker and I feel really bad if we don't let Frankie win. I don't give it to a kid just because you feel bad. No, but it's curious a cute story. Look, she caught up on the station. I'd really talk to any kids and she did it. Nurse Sam, who do you want to give it to?
Starting point is 00:37:05 Cleavage Dorn or kid Frankie? Oh, I can't hear you. Sorry, rookie, didn't turn my mic on. I think, little Frankie. All right, Little Frankie, congratulations. Hey. Oh, well, don't Frankie, you're a legend. Your Arvo's Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:37:26 The Edge. Yes, no. So it's basically a little game, yeah. I'm going to read out some things, which today's theme is, things I do in a jury. I've actually been a part of a jury recently and it was a horrible that was a drink driving case and there's a bit of
Starting point is 00:37:51 accidents, yeah, it was a pretty bad one. Topical though, because of the P. Diddy thing and everyone learned a lot about jury and I didn't realize they all have to be unanimous. All have to be unanimous. Yeah, so a jury, you know, well, I think there's like 12 of us all together and it'll be a case two sides
Starting point is 00:38:05 and then we'll go out and we decide we all have to agree on the same outcome for the same person. So it lasted, oh, I think this one was like a week and a half. There's lots of days. And everyone has to do it at some point in their life. It's not usually this long, but that's what I had to do.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Did they give you a good lunch? Great lunch. Oh, that's good then. Honestly, that was kind of one of my first priorities on the list, but sometimes we'll push it out just so we get up the good lunch. We're still unsure. Because the catering was insane back there. Some guys waiting to hear his verdict.
Starting point is 00:38:34 You're like, do you have any more of those clubs, Samas? Exactly. All right. First one, to tell me you snow made for these. I clapped for both parties. Because we haven't got a verdict yet, so you had to be supported at both parties. I don't think you're meant to applaud. The victims family, who!
Starting point is 00:38:50 And the drink driver. Woo! Because you don't know exactly at that point what's actually happened. I say it's a big note. It's a big note. I've watched enough law and order to know that you do not clap in a courtroom at any point. True. I'm surprised that you stay on the jury after that.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Well, once you're in, you're in. You can't get out of it. Do whatever you want. I'm going to write a May because I've sworn like, you know, don't support every year. No, I'm just right down the middle. Every day we'd start off with a pre-rehears flash mob just to get the vibes up. So, jury, enter. We'll end up, let's go, girls, and we'll start, like, Shania Twain or whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:24 We'll kind of all dance together just to get the vibes up from the courtroom. It's pretty bleak, man. Thank you. That's the jury! We're all coming out? No, I'm going to say no, because the man's life's at stake. It's incensitive, isn't it? Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:41 I'll write maybe because it was probably the highlight of the day. It was pretty boring after that. Never listened to us. I would always, there's never worked. It worked once. I'd always try and start Mexican waves. So I'd sit on the end of the journey and go, woo, and stand up with the arms in the air.
Starting point is 00:39:56 They'd never get into it. I think we just call them sports waves now. Oh, they are sports waves. Oh, damn it. I'm going to say no, because you can't say Mexican wave. Damn it. But I'm going to say maybe. Oh, interesting, you'd say that.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Some other crowd stuff, state dive. So I get up on the side. It's not a stage dive. There's not a stage. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's kind of the size. It's a plight. It's a plight.
Starting point is 00:40:18 It's a plight. The morning. Or if something juicy was happening, I'd always go, ooh, that's pretty good, eh? I like that, actually. That would make it very entertaining for me.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Yeah. And final one, this is probably, I'll probably cross the line a bit with this one. The guy I was getting done for drink driving. I found out from the first day, the second day, I rocked up in full.
Starting point is 00:40:44 year-right to-e gear's. And they said, what's that? What's that jury's verdict? Can't say. I didn't go for him, but it's war just to throw him off a little bit. See if it'd fess up even more. It's a no. It's a no for me.
Starting point is 00:40:58 He lost. He's locked up now. Your avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. It was my birthday last week. 30. I'm 30 years old. Man, that's old. You are old, man.
Starting point is 00:41:13 That's crazy. You're 30. God, do you feel like shit? What do you feel good? I was actually really hoping you'd be like, oh, you're not that old, mate. Oh. 30?
Starting point is 00:41:25 No, 30's not... You're a young buck? 30's not old, but it is like... No, you just said you're old, do you feel like shit? Sorry, okay, it's not old, but I could imagine for all the 30-year-olds out there listening as well, that transition from 20s to 30, that's eye-opening.
Starting point is 00:41:38 It's the birthday where you're like, okay, I'm meant to have it figured out by now and I don't. Yeah. It's the moment in my life where I'm looking at, like, what are my parents... have sorted by the time they were 30 and I'm pretty sure they were like homeowners and had a kid and I'm not even just crazy. In the last month you've been banging on about trying to find a house and then got engaged as well.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Oh that is actually quite engaged. So you actually like, I think you're going through a bit of a third life crisis and gone, I need to hurry things up. I'm behind. Another thing that's happened to me that I've realized it, I wouldn't have done this last week, but now that I'm 30 I've done it. I knocked on someone for where they parked. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:42:15 It was Saturday morning. I was down in Auckland City. And we went to a little cafe that me and my girlfriend, Jeannie, usually go to. It's a lovely little cafe. Not a lot of parking around the city centre. So we kind of walk down there. It's quite nice. There's not many parks.
Starting point is 00:42:29 And this car pulls up. Quite a nice car. SUV, 2 to 3 years old. Yep. pulls into the disabled park right outside. Oh, it's dogs. And I'm kind of sitting there. There's a disabled park.
Starting point is 00:42:41 You know, I'm sitting there watching this happen. and four quite able-bodied young people about my age get out, dressed to the nines, flash car, they're all dressed nicely, they walk off going into a restaurant down the road. I see. Lock the car and leave it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:56 So there's a car and always sitting there kind of having our coffee because we like to sit outside of this cafe. And I'm there for about 15 minutes and they're not coming back to this disabled car park. They've parked at there. I did, this is very Karen of me because I've watched a few videos on TikTok where people were like,
Starting point is 00:43:10 don't say I can't park in a disabled car park if I don't look disabled. Like I might be, and it might be, like, you know, not a visual disability. So I looked to see if they had a sticker because I didn't want to be that guy. They didn't have a sticker or a hanging thing. This is so much.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Such a 30-year-old admin thing here. This is crazy. Then a parking warden comes past. Oh, Sean. And we're about a street over by now. We're walking away and I see the parking warden. And I go, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it. And I get closer.
Starting point is 00:43:40 I go, hey, mate, just so you know, disabled car, over there, no disabled sticker on that car. Not meant to be there. That one there. I'd get it towed if I were you. He said, oh, we don't do that. I just give it a ticket. I was like, oh, yeah, that as well.
Starting point is 00:43:52 And that went about my merry way. I support you. It's just a bit naicky, man. But naarky, but you're parking a... See, I wouldn't do that. It angered me because it was a disabled car park. Can I be honest with you, man? Something I haven't told you yet.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Where was this happening? Just in the Auckland kind of city. He would go to her for the cafe, Amano Cafo. Cafe down there by the water. I was out this weekend, man. I actually saw this happen. I saw you. Didn't want to say how was the weekend last him next week.
Starting point is 00:44:24 You saw me on a Saturday. And the worst end of this story, man, is that you complained of Warden Nassau. He was kind of straying it rolling as I was like, who's this narc? You walked off on your merry way. The three, it was actually three young people, came back with a mate in a wheelchair, man.
Starting point is 00:44:40 That's not what happened. And they lifted him into the car. It's not happening. It's not a habit. And they were, mate, can I be honest? I'm not lying. I think it was the guys in the wheelchair, his car. He was in tears, mate.
Starting point is 00:44:51 He was beside himself. $85 ticket that was, bro. And so you've gone, ha-ha. I'm going to get you. And you've actually just, you've actually ruined a disabled person's day. All I'm saying is display the tag. It's disabledist, I'd say.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Your Avos hit harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. See, I don't usually have Road Rage, okay? I'm pretty good at not too. hurting. I'm pretty good. Like, sorry. And someone pulls out in front of me, I do something dumb. I just kind of in my head or just like, tell you, oh, you idiot,
Starting point is 00:45:21 or whatever? I never make a scene of it. Until the other morning, a couple days ago, I was going to go to my other job on my TV show, and this was about, this was 5.45 in the morning. And I'm driving to work. Freezing. Tired. Just feel about under the weather. I'm just not on a great mood. and we're at traffic lights and someone behind me
Starting point is 00:45:44 toots at me I look up it's green why would you two to me toots again oh you mean it's red sorry I look up
Starting point is 00:45:52 it was green he's probably within his right yeah sorry it wasn't great it was red I'm like what he toots me and I go
Starting point is 00:45:57 another little to and I go what the F pull the finger behind me now that's something you should never
Starting point is 00:46:06 I don't encourage it to anybody but I was really angry I was real riled up I was like, you done it twice to me. I made a red light. I can't go anywhere. I pulled the finger at him.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Oh, here. And then we drive, and I drive to set, and the car passes me. I kind of look out the window at them. They're just looking forward and going to look at me. And they park, gosh, probably 50 metres down the road. I was like, huh, interesting. So they're going to the same place as you. Yeah, going to the same place as me.
Starting point is 00:46:36 So I got out of the car. I walked up. I didn't know that. And then they walk in. I'm like, oh my gosh. That's the guy who I just had road rage to. And it's our new director. So we get a few directors for this TV show.
Starting point is 00:46:48 It's a brandy starts today. It's a brand new director. Oh my gosh. Shut up. Your new boss and you flipped him off, you beeped at him and you yelled F you at him. Yeah, F you pulled the finger. I was like, you know. And like when the light went green, I waited for a bit, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:00 and startled forward a little bit just to throw him off. Like, oh, you can bloody wait for me. Can you break chicken? Nah. Well, what does that mean? When you like, you just hit the brakes? That's what I mean. Yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Break check him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I go up to him, I feel awful. This is a really awkward. And I go, hey, bro, I'm Harrison. I was like, man, I'm sorry about this morning. I'm just a bit tired. He's like, oh, what happened?
Starting point is 00:47:23 I'm like, oh, you know, I pulled the finger at you and stuff. He's like, was that you? And I was like, oh, yeah, that was me. He's like, oh, man, what a dick. I was like, oh, yeah, no, no. I was like, I'm sorry, man, it was just a big morning. I was tired. He's like, foo, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:40 That's quite a first impression, Harrison. I was like, yeah, it's definitely quite a first impression. Why did you tell him? Yeah, I know. Why did you tell him? He never would have known. He was seeing you from behind. I wanted to break the eyes.
Starting point is 00:47:52 I don't want to not tell him. I was like, sorry, he's like, oh, that was you? I was like, ah. And then I just kind of told a few more jokes and just got him to light me again, I think. I don't know. But how awful is that? Why didn't you hit him up? I'm like, mate, what are you beeping at me in a red light for you?
Starting point is 00:48:06 Yeah, I can't even remember asking him. I think he's just more worried about me pulling the bird and doing the up and down hand sign like I'm pumping something at him. Okay, well that's not. You can't say that. That's what I was doing.
Starting point is 00:48:17 I don't think we call it pulling the bird either. Oh, you can't say that. You said that. You said pulling the bird. I think you said pulling the bird. I didn't say pulling the bird. You said pumping the bird. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Okay. Pumping the gears too. Your avos head harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. We're opening for you right now the flatmate hall of shame. This is an opportunity for you to come through.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Oh, 800 the edge, or text to 3, 3, 343, just those awful flatmates that you've had, or maybe do have. We've all had them. We've all had them. I've had, like, I probably lived in about five or six flats in my time, and every flat has over five people in it. Can I say that's insane for someone your age?
Starting point is 00:48:57 You're 25, you reckon you've lived in six flats? Yeah. Yeah. Jumped around a lot. I was never with a problem. Other people were just a oyster. Sounds pretty bad. You're saying, you've been in six.
Starting point is 00:49:09 slats before 25 and everyone else was the problem. Well, I reckon the first, I remember the first bad flat encounter I had was my first ever flat in Wellington, first time flatting and they had a go at me and yelled at me for blocking the incinerator because I had chicken bones. I put chicken bones out like Wicked Wings from KFC down it.
Starting point is 00:49:30 And at the time, I was the only one in the house who was vegetarian. Oh, so there's no way you could have done. I was like, God, it's impossible to be me in the couple were like, well, it's definitely not us. And the other guy was like, no, it's not me. I'm like, well, guys, it's definitely not me. I'm the only one in the house who doesn't eat meat.
Starting point is 00:49:49 And I left because they were trying to kick me out after that. Like, you got the plumber, and then you refused to pay for the plumber when he came over. I was like, well, I'm not going to pay for the plumber. I didn't do that. All I'm thinking is you can munch down those KFC bones. I'm surprised the Insincorator couldn't hack it. I used to swallow them whole before I was veggie. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:50:09 Maybe that's why. they thought it was you. Yeah. I had some bad flatmates in my time. I had one particular one who, she just, like, was a bit of a clean freak, which is usually good in a flitting situation. It's like, oh, you want that person.
Starting point is 00:50:21 But to the point where, like, she would get on your case if you did anything that was, like, out of what she was specifically after. And another thing that was annoying is she'd rearrange our furniture all the time. Oh, I hate that. We'd have it set up the way, like, it was, but it was, like, every month, man.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Yeah. She'd rearrange the entire lounge. And then she'd get upset with you for not helping. She's like, you're just going to sit there? I'm like, I don't want to rearrange our lounge for the fifth time. Yeah. I'm okay with us. It's Saturday at 2pm.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Yeah. Just sit down and chill. She's like, you're just going to sit there and watch me trying to bring the couch over the other side of the room? I'm like, yeah. That's annoying. Just leave shit, man. So annoying. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:51:02 The Edge. Worst flatmate you've ever had. What do they do? We both have pretty bad. Flatmates, man. Like, I was once accused of blocking the insuffer. Incinerator and getting the plumber into fixer not paying for that plumber because there were chicken bones down the Insincorator at the time was a heavy vegetarian. Ah, so it couldn't have been me, but still I was to blame.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Yeah, that's tough. I've had multiple bad flatmates. One kept rearranging our living room furniture every kind of couple weekends and then getting upset at us for not helping her with it. That's so annoying. I don't know if flatmates to clean everybody's rooms when they weren't there. Oh, you can't do it. I have a rule that you shouldn't be able to go into someone's room or they're not home. I think so too.
Starting point is 00:51:41 And there's just like, even family members, like, no, don't do it. Yeah. Someone's room, it's their space. Yeah. Don't do it. Oh, 800 at the edge, or you can text to 3, 3, 4, 3, 4. You read some of these texts here, so. Yeah, it's a crazy one.
Starting point is 00:51:56 I moved out of home after I got a divorce. My new flatmate slash landlord was super nice and friendly. He's like a 60-year-old man. Okay, he gives granddad vibes. Anyway, about a week later, he asked if we could have a chat. He said that to help me save to buy my own house, I could sleep with him once a week instead of paying rent.
Starting point is 00:52:13 So yeah, I'm moving out. And they're 25. So instead of paying rent, you just make love to the landlord. Would you do it? No. So she was a 25-year-old female, she said, and she was living with a 60-year-old dude who had granddad vibes.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Sometimes you do that. Sometimes you do live with an older person because the rent's cheap or whatever. But when they want to shag you, yeah, that's a one-on-one situation. I'd say. That's horrific. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Here's another text. My old flatmate paid his rent and cash. Then went into my room whenever I was out, opened my bag, stole $270 from my wallet, and then denied it. We caught him out saying that we had a camera in the room, but we didn't. Oh, nice, nice.
Starting point is 00:52:57 I got my money back and lend us to say we kicked him out. Worst part was he would have seen us right across the road at the park sunbathing when he did it. Oh, so quite a lot. and a creepy, so he went and stole money and caught a cheeky peek. There's a horrible story. Guys, living with women.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Tying it down. Have you ever sold anything from a flatmate, Sean? I've taken food from a flatmate. But then I always come forward about it. I had a flatmate who had like a cake out on the thing. It was a really good cake. And they're like, who ate a slice? I did eat a slice.
Starting point is 00:53:33 You said me, you ate you a female. The flatmate's cake. Yeah. You ate her cake. Yes, I ate her cake. I don't think you can say that either No, I ate her cake and it was good But I gave her some of my cake
Starting point is 00:53:45 I gave her some of my... I bought some more cake Oh, you brought some cake for her. So you ate her cake and in between you bought her a cake. I think both of those going into the Hall of Shame this week Yep, and I think we'll put you on there too. Put me in the air. That's just gross, man, it's gross. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:54:04 The Edge. Did you see that the lady, the Australian one who, she killed her in-laws with that poisonous mushroom? Oh, yeah. Yeah. She got the trial, you know, she got sentenced to prison that all wrapped up this week. Turns out she's in the prison kitchens already. She's worked, they've put her to work in the kitchens.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Yeah, that just doesn't seem right, does it? Doesn't feel like the move. The interesting thing I found about reading the story, I was like, what dish did she make out of it? She made a beef Wellington for them. Oh, does she try and kill them or? Well, yeah, apparently. She was found guilty. Delicious dish to go out or no.
Starting point is 00:54:37 I did think that. What a dish to serve. to serve. So my top three today is top meals I'd make if I was trying to poison my in-laws. And just want to say, just for the record, all recipes are 100% hypothetical and meant for comedic purposes only. Please don't poison your in-laws. It's that time of the day. The time to get your news. Brought to you by...
Starting point is 00:54:56 Fast food company created replacement words. No Peter Pitt. I will not call your small Peter a patita. And presented by Nigella Lawson's only fans. It's the edge top three. are the top three meals I would make if I was trying to poison my in-laws. One. You've got to take the mushroom thing. It worked for her.
Starting point is 00:55:15 She didn't get away with it. Maybe throw them into a carbunara though. It was a bit suss putting them on top of a beef Wellington, I think. Different dishes there. They should not be in a beef Wellington. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Two.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Puffer Fish, Paialla. You know puff of fish if you don't prepare it correctly? You can die. Like it's very poisonous. So get my 12-year-old nephew to hack it up. Hey, buddy. Give this a cut. Paella.
Starting point is 00:55:39 You can't actually see much in there because there's so much stuff. Exactly. And the third dish that I would cook, this is a crazy concept. I'm realizing, as I say. If I were to potentially poison my in-laws, three. A lovely spicy Vindaloo curry. Now, there's nothing wrong with the curry. It's just a normal curry, but next to it, I put a big glass of bleach there.
Starting point is 00:56:01 So they yum, yum, yum, yum. Oh, that's spicy. That wasn't water. Ugh. This feels illegal to even. and say. That one felt illegal to say because that wasn't even very clever.
Starting point is 00:56:12 It was clever, but you know, hide in the dish. Yeah, yeah, hide it in there. Don't just say, probably on radio, I hope my in-laws drink a glass of bleach. No, I don't love my in-laws. I'm suggesting for other people. You don't love your in-laws. I do love your in-laws.
Starting point is 00:56:24 You said, no, I don't love my in-laws. No. Did I say that? You did say that. You did say that. It's not making it better. I don't want it. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean,
Starting point is 00:56:33 Steph and Harrison. The Edge. It's time for the blind ranking. You may have seen these on TikTok. People get given a list of five things within a category. They've got to rank them without knowing what's coming next. We do this every week. Sometimes it goes quite poorly.
Starting point is 00:56:46 The comedy being, you know, you might save a bad thing for lust. Producer Nurse Sam has got our list today, the topic of which we are unaware. What is it today, Sam? The topic today is going to be hangover cures. Ah, always Google those. Always Google those. It's good for me. It's topical because I have my 30th birthday on Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:57:05 And they say you feel hangovers more when you're 30. I was like, yeah, whatever, that's not going to be a milestone that happens. I still think I'm hung over. It's a Wednesday. Yeah. And we had karaoke the night before. That was a rough weekend. I think it's from that.
Starting point is 00:57:20 It was a double. That was horrific. All right. Okay, Blind Five hangover cures. Alrighty. First one. Greasy takeaways. See, uh...
Starting point is 00:57:33 Oh, what's the word? I don't agree with that. It never helps me feel better. No. I think in the... it's like you have it and it makes you feel better in the moment and then you feel instantly worse after it is. I'm going to chuck that down as like a five for me.
Starting point is 00:57:45 I think it's a myth. Yeah, let's go five. We're healthy boys. Yeah. All righty then. Next up we have got a quick spew and then rally. What's rally? Get into it.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Carry on. Get on with your day. Okay. See, Omer. I love a little vong when you drink. It's not a good thing to promote. It's not a good thing to promote. It's not a good thing to promote.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Four, give it a four. Give it a four, but sometimes it helps. Alrighty, number four. Okay, cool. Next up then, we've got a coffee, Marmite on Toast, and a nap. Go off. That sounds amazing.
Starting point is 00:58:17 I love all right. I got to love the specificity of it, too. You presume we'd love Marmite. Mammaeat, Marmite, dry you out. That's got to be two. I'm going to have two for sure. That's great. Two, okay.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Next up, second to last. Here are the dog. Oh, I mean, I'm going to go three. because it will, it's the thing that will make you feel the best, but then the next day you're going to feel terrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Every time I agree. You're like, oh, why don't I do this every time?
Starting point is 00:58:45 I feel amazing. And then the next day you're like, oh, yeah, long term, no good. Three. So we've got only one left. This never goes. One left. Are you guys ready? You guys ready?
Starting point is 00:58:54 Go on. A pie, a V energy drink, a dart on the porch. And that's why we keep that to number one. That is amazing. Why do you, how does this always work with you? You always give us the best one to last. I love it. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison.
Starting point is 00:59:13 The Edge. And that was the podcast. Hope you enjoyed it. Steph will be back next week. Just Sean and Harrison for the rest of this week, though. Fuck, she on holiday, eh? Yeah, she's on holiday. Although she's, poor things got sick.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Yeah, but when you're on holiday, it's great. Sick on holidays, it's great. Wow. It's not great. No, I guess it's not great. No, because she's used to a holiday leave. But she's at home looking after her kid. That's it. She's not overseas.
Starting point is 00:59:39 So, like, it's a good story. That's what I'm saying. It's a good time to be sick. Yeah. Instead of then coming to work and so I need more days off and it's like, well, we can't pay you for that or whatever you know. So I think it's a double. I mean, it's shit, but it's also it's double. Hey, speaking of paying for things, I opted for Hello Fresh this week.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Nice. That's like scam of the century. Is that Nadia Lums thing, eh? No, that's bargain box. Nadi Lums is it? Anyway, someone's thing. You pick your meals and then it. arrives and I was like oh two person meals for me and my girlfriend Jeannie we live together
Starting point is 01:00:10 and put four different meals and it'll be good for us because you know they only give you the amount that you're going to cook with like for two people so that's why it's good I've done them so many times I haven't done the last two years we used to in the heat I love them yeah they're real fun we're all good meals yeah good meals and they only give you if you try and make a dish like that obviously you buy too many ingredients because it's something for like two people yeah one thing I haven't enjoyed is I will look at them I'll be oh because I finish work here at about seven, right? I usually cook in our house which is usually fine. I can get home and get dinner
Starting point is 01:00:37 whipped up in half an hour. Two of these meals out of this box are like prep time, 30 minutes. Cook time, 25 minutes. I don't have an hour. Yeah, right. To cook a two-person pork meatballs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the issue here? It's just taking too long.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Too long, man. Can I be honest? And I think the issue is, and I don't want to overstep anything here. Genie needs to get off her ass and start prepping shit. Sorry. That may have came out aggressive, but if you're looking, I've got an hour to cook,
Starting point is 01:01:09 you rock up, I'm presumed she's finished work, she's at home. Yeah, she's there. Lunged over the couch. Yeah, usually you just got a, wine and hand. Monging out, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Yeah, I reckon if you just go, hey, babe, could you even just open the box? Get everything out. No, I never ask. Get all the ingredients ready. I couldn't. Yeah, but you work till seven.
Starting point is 01:01:28 Oh, no, no, no. That's crazy to then go home and cook. See, I'd do it. I'll admit, I usually actually go to the supermarket on the way home and then go home and cook with my partner. And then sometimes, once in a blue moon, she may
Starting point is 01:01:40 cook for me. It's fuck to say. What is with the modern... It's a very modern show in that way, actually. All three of them. The men cook, even Steph. I know. Steve doesn't cook. What the fuck our show is so ahead of the times?
Starting point is 01:01:54 Which is crazy that in our poll the other day, Arvopolo, who cooks the most, Steph won by our landslide. I didn't give you the results, but it was like 60%. Yeah, that's the sexist part of the show. That's crazy. It's fucked up. You draw outside, Father Hello Fresh,
Starting point is 01:02:06 it's so much rubbish. There is a lot of wasted packaging. Every thing is, you know, a packet of salt or spice that'll be out of, you know, fuck do it.
Starting point is 01:02:13 We need a plastic bag for that. And then they put it in a cooler and then another box and then another thing. Ice wrapped up in plastic. Yeah. It's intense. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Anyway, good meals. Hell of Fresh sponsor the show. Watch your meals as week. That's the other thing. Jeannie's so picky, my partner, then it's all like.
Starting point is 01:02:30 She only really eats beef and fish. Which is crazy. Like, there's no rhyme or reason to what she eats, but she won't eat chicken, lamb, pork. Oof. Anything fun. So, we're basically eating all variations of beef dishes, which I kind of could make anyway, but...
Starting point is 01:02:44 Fucking, you know, honestly, beef fucking sucks, eh? You ever got... Like, I don't know why in New Zealand's like, a beef sausage, please. A beef sausage is the boringest sausage ever. Go for a pork. Go for a venison.
Starting point is 01:02:57 I like a venison. Same. Anyway, go to chat. I like a fresh. Chat, Lance. I love it. Let's chatting about some food. Hey, hope you enjoyed the podcast.
Starting point is 01:03:06 We'll be back tomorrow, 3pm. Bright and early. See you there. Your Avos Head Harder with Sean, Steph and Harrison. The Edge. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
