The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burnaphone. It used to be back in the day, but now I kind of, I don't know, it really freaks out the dog. The dog barks every time. And so you spend the whole evening going, it's okay, it's okay. And they're, oh, you know, like, yeah. And you're like, mate, it's going to keep going all night. Unfortunately, it's like you can't really reason with the poor thing, you know. And you saying, it's okay, it's okay, doesn't mean anything to him. And he's like, there it goes again. We heard it, yeah, it's fireworks.

And he doesn't have no concept what fireworks is. So, yeah, just all of a sudden there's a whole lot of loud banging noises for a little bit. He doesn't know it only happens once a year. I don't mind the big public displays, you know. I think they're pretty cool. But, yeah, I don't know. But it feels like that's maybe more the general consensus nowadays, that people have kind of, the love of fireworks are not quite there like they used to be.

Yeah, it feels like the popularity, the tide's turning on the fireworks. It feels like, you know, just towards the end of Jacinda's reign. Yeah. The tide's slowly turning. Used to be. I mean, maybe I didn't think about consequences as much, neighbours and stuff back in the day, although I was from the Wairarapa, so we didn't really have neighbours around too close.

So, yeah. Yeah. It is one of those things that maybe if you didn't have a dog around too close so yeah yeah it uh it is one of those things that maybe if you didn't have a dog you wouldn't be yeah as aware yeah of the collateral of of fireworks i do remember one time uh a new year's party and we'd all had young you know younger younger kids it was kind of like a group of friends getting together and we'd put the kids down for bed and someone brought along fireworks for New Year's and you know there was plenty of room to to let them off but geez they woke up all the kids like they've already just spent the whole evening trying to get the kids

down to bed fireworks everywhere all the kids are up and you're like oh that was a terrible idea they uh they really do when they're next to house, they really do come in with a big bang, don't they? Yeah. Yeah, a big thud. Yeah, I didn't even see any fireworks. I think I saw one. All right. No. Maybe I should have looked outside the window.

Yeah. But yeah, no, it's certainly, I think, a topic of ongoing conversation, isn't it? Eventually, I reckon, they will ban them, public access to them. Yeah. And we'll look back on this in 20 years' time, Eventually I reckon They will ban them Public Public access to them Yeah And We'll look back on this In 20 years time

And it'll be like You know We'll look back on How we look back on party pills Being sold at dairies Well it was wild You used to be able to Buy these things

And let them off And you know And those Yeah I tell you Well that party pill era That we had in New Zealand Yeah Where you could just buy

Essentially Sort of You could say Borderline ecstasy Couldn't you From the dairy Yeah from the where you could just buy essentially sort of, you could say borderline ecstasy, couldn't you? From the dairy. Yeah. Wild time. Jeez, they would make you.

You'd wake up the next morning and feel like you'd been run over by 10 trains. It was all, yeah, it was all legal at the time. We had to give them out at radio stations. Yeah, it was all, yeah. There was bowls of them just in the office of the radio station. And everyone would just kind of be wandering around the office, gurning their jaws, getting stuff done.

Yeah. We'd pay interns and party pills. It was a wild time, wasn't it? But then, yeah, that's what happened. And then that got stopped. So I feel like the fireworks in 20 years, we're going to be like, wow, you used to be able to just light those yourself and burn houses down. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Burn a phone, though. We're not here talking about fireworks. This is the message for today. Hi, guys. You said we could ask anything on the burner phones. My question for you is, are you guys cut or uncut? Thanks.

It's Kurt here, by the way. Bye-bye. Carrot. Is that carrot? I'm sorry, there was terrible quality from carrot. I thought bye Carrot Is that carrot I'm sorry There's terrible quality From carrot I thought it was

Carrot I'm not sure Let's go carrot Carrot's a cooler name If it's carrot It's probably Kurt Carrot sounds cooler though Carrot

I like carrot Carrot's question was Wanting to know If we're cut or uncut Listen my parents Didn't put me through That as a child They didn't put me

Through the torment of pain Full sock situation. Were they party-peeling it up at the time? Were they too busy girding their face off? Is that what, in regards to that, is it? I assume so. A very left-field question, I guess you would ask. And if not, I've been incredibly open, incredibly forthcoming with the information.

Maybe he's just talking about my lawn at home. He's got to be talking about my hair. There's a whole lot that you really have jumped to. I mean, he probably is. That's what he means. Maybe not. If he is talking in regards to lawn, well, no, it hasn't been cut in a long time

and I need to give it a trim. If he's talking in regards to hair, yeah, I shave it myself. What other options would there be? Your steak, always prefer that cut. Nirvana's classic album, do you like the uncut version of it? Oh, there's many options, yes.

The director's cut version of it. Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings, yeah. Are you going cut or uncut? I'd probably go cut. I'd probably get cut on Lord of the Rings, just because I feel like it's a long movie, but you got it to a good length.
