The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burner Phone. It's heating up, the Burner Phone. It's getting hot because lots of messages have been left there. But before we get on to new messages. Which you can text Burner Phone to 4487 to find our Burner Phone number and leave a voicemail. You've got to get the admin out of the way. Yeah, sorry, you're right.

You just like to plow. I know you're a plow on sort of guy. Well, you hovered over my head the time restraints about this you're like mate if it gets over 10 minutes you've lost me yeah you lost it's too and i'm on it you know so i'm like i'm conscious of how long you're gonna want you know okay now yesterday we left on a bit of a cliffhanger you made some pretty big accusations towards our manager harriet yeah i did actually she had prepared lovingly with her bare hands baked goods for a birthday party.

It was actually producer Joel's birthday party on Monday. Troll Harrison, yeah. Troll Harrison, Ben calls him, because he's a Gen Z-er. He likes to troll. He likes troll people, doesn't he? He does. He rolls his eyes.

He's one of those, you know. So anyway, Troll Harrison, he had his birthday and there was a bevy of baked goods, all provided by Harriet. Lovely. And you made a huge accusation that she had bought

the biscuits from Subway. Oh, they were delicious biscuits. I have eaten those biscuits many, many times from Subway. So that's why you know. The cookies,

I'm like, these, either you've got the recipe and you've nailed it or you've just swung past Subway and bought it. Now, we pestered her

multiple times yesterday and she was denying us, putting us straight to voicemail. People were coming in going, don't call her. She's in a meeting. And I'm like, what is she hiding from? She's hiding. Hello, Harriet speaking. Oh, Harriet.

Oh, you're finally prepared to talk to us today, are you? Well, I'm actually on safety training, so I really shouldn't be answering the phone. Safety? That's not very safe. I know. I thought you were dodging my phone. Safety? That's not very safe. I know. I thought you were dodging my questions. I feel like an investigative journalist here. You don't want to answer my questions.

That's what it felt like yesterday. It just felt like you were a bit needy. Yeah, it was. We called you it like eight times in a row. It was really needy. So Harriet. It really was needy. I'm making some accusations.

Now, you did a lovely thing the other day. Producer Troll, or Joel as he likes to be called, he had a birthday, and you, you know, even though you're one of our bosses here, you went and you baked a cake and you baked some cookies, question mark, for the occasion, which was lovely. But I haven't... Just because they were good doesn't mean I didn't bake them.

Well, I feel like you've whipped past Subway on the way here and you got the cookies, because they were good doesn't mean I didn't bake them. Well, I feel like you've whipped past Subway on the way here and you got the cookies because they were delicious, but they tasted like Subway cookies, Harriet. I did not go to Subway. I promise you they were homemade. You can ask my housemates and my boyfriend. They can vouch for me because we ate about 10 of them on Sunday before I brought the rest in to work.

Harriet's got no reason to lie. They were perfect. They were perfect shaped. I think they were perfect. They were perfect shaped. I think they tasted good. They were really good. Okay, here's a question. Were they the same recipe? Oh. Well, they're not the same recipe. They're actually a Donna Hay chewy chocolate and I add M&M's

to it. Because the M&M ones my kids love those ones from Subway so I'm like. Well, if you want to ask anyone, maybe go talk to Donna Hay. Hit her up about her recipe. All right, so you're on the record right now on the Bird of Fine prestigious podcast that you didn't whip past Subway on the way here

and get those cookies. I did not whip past Subway on the way here. Okay, it's been winding them up. Okay, Harriet, thank you. I take it back. Lovely cookies. I always said they were lovely, but, well, amazing.

I'm glad you're complimenting them. Can I also ask, what safety training are you learning? Like, what could go wrong in a radio station? Actually, a lot. A lot with events. And, you know, you guys like those big ideas. Oh, I see. Ass-covering course, is it?

Yes. The NZME ass-covering course. Yeah, learning about a said bomb comp that happened a few years ago and holes were dug into lakes and people were slipping into them. So, you know, if you want a bomb comp,

I'll be your person to make sure the health of the people Oh, well, I hadn't planned on doing any sort of jumping in water exercises, but hey. We can now because it'll be safe. Yeah. All right, good on you, Harriet.

See you later. There we go. We got to the bottom of that. Now, this all spurned off a voicemail that we received from a listener who wanted to send us some baked goods. So mostly what I wanted to let you know is I've been baking biscuits today and I would be happy to give you a batch if you'd like. But let me know because my number should come up after the beep on this message.

So you let me know. I'll be more than happy to do it. But I've done red, yellow, and green icing, so you're going to have to pick another color. There we go. So someone wanting to provide a batch of biscuits, red, yellow, and green icing, out of the question. Yeah.

And we are going to go through them now. You said you'd love to eat them. Well, I wasn't ruling it out, whereas you were. I was like, listener goods. Listener baked goods, never. But I thought, you know, the fine people of the hits. You could trust them. You could trust the hits.

Hi, this is Bryn. I can't take your call at the moment. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you. Now, again, we're leaving another voicemail from a voicemail. It happens in life. It's very Inception. It's Jono and Ben calling here.

We're ringing back. You're on the Burn a Phone podcast. We got your lovely, lovely message about how we're going to bake us some goods. Now, there were specific colors of icing we have to ignore. We can't pick those. So we couldn't theme it for the King's Coronation or anything because it sounds like the blue, the red, the white. They're gone.

They're gone. Green, was that an option? That was an option. Yellow, maybe. I'm guessing could be an option. Yeah, let's go yellow. If you send us some yellow biscuits, that would be great. Now, full transparency, I'm a little hesitant

about eating baked goods from a listener. Ben Boyce, he doesn't mind. I feel like it sounded very lovely. Genuine. Lovely, genuine offer, and you sound very trustworthy. I was like, hey, I'm prepared to, you know, but you don't have to do that, you know, you enjoy them. We'll give them to someone that really

needs them or wants them right now, you know, out and about closer to you rather than trying to post them or whatever. But thank you very much for the offer. If they arrive, we will be very happy and pleased and thankful. If they don't, no stress. We can all get on with our lives, but thank you for being part of the Burner Phone. It was a lovely message.

You take care of yourself. And that's another episode. And that's been a lovely message and a lovely ending to the Burner Phone. Ben, you'll be happy. It's under the 10 minute mark. You haven't lost me. I've still got Jono. I'm going to have to get the life support out and sort of just kick him back into gear. Go to a safety course.

Yeah. Yeah, we're going to plan our jumping in the water. It's the thing we've got to do later. You know, we'll get all that planned. But right now, that's another edition of the Burner Phone. If you'd like the number, text BURNER PHONE to 4487.
