The Hits with Jono and of the Burner phone, Ben Boyce. Off the charts. Off the charts. Joe Rogan, watch out. We're coming for you, buddy. Well, hey, there's a long way to go. But we do appreciate everyone listening to it because we really enjoy this part of the podcast where we get to clear a message. Let's have a listen to today's message. Jono and Ben,

I would like to know the etiquette of hanging towels on a heated towel rail in your en suite. At the moment, it's hand towel, my hubby's towel on the top, then bath mat and my towel on the bottom rung. Been that way for about 30 odd years now. Is that the correct etiquette? I'd be interested to know. Thank you. Bye. Is it the correct etiquette? I'd be interested to know. Thank you. Bye. Is it the correct etiquette?

I love it. So it's what we're thinking about, the sort of order of where you should put it. The priority of household members and where their towels are placed. Hand towel always at the top. Yeah, do you know what happens sometimes in our bathrooms? The hand towel will somehow get, you know, you'll go to replace, but you don't replace it and so then

the towels that you will use for your face what they suddenly become hand towels slash also the towel that are the flannels no no just the normal towel normal you don't have a specific one for hands then of course your one gets used your towel gets used as you know i was using that that's not the hand towel my body towel yeah but no suddenly that becomes hand towel slash body towel um so yeah so that's sometimes that happens in our house we we don't have the hand towel. This is my body towel. Yeah, but no, suddenly that becomes hand towel slash body towel. So yeah, sometimes that happens in our house. We don't have the hand towel. The hand towel goes mysteriously missing.

In my house, the hand towel gets covered in toothpaste. Toothpaste all day. You have kids, toothpaste ends up everywhere in the bathroom. It's like, how are you brushing like? Toothpaste everywhere.

Everywhere. But yeah, no, that is an interesting, the order of towels and the household personalities. So in this instance, hand towel, hubby's towel sitting at the top, which is an interesting one.

Then the foot towel, she's way down the bottom of the priority list, of the drying priority list, sitting last place there. I get told off for two things to do with towels in the bathroom. One, not putting the bath mat. Do you not put it back? Well, back,

but I go on the rationale that I get up early and have the first shower. In an hour or so, Amanda's going to have one. I'm like, well, let's just, you know, how dry is it going to really get

in an hour? Just leave it there and then you can, you know. It's adding, I think, maybe 0.5 to maybe a second of your day to put a towel on her. I'm taking it down. I put it there

and then afterwards, you know. But she doesn't want a soggy foot towel. So that's the way. At least taking it down. I put it there and then afterwards, you know. But she doesn't want a soggy foot towel. So that's the way. At least she's going to get an hour's worth of some sort of shine. I get in trouble for that one

and the other thing as well was not remembering which towel was my towel and using the towel that suddenly was her towel as well. I feel like, I want towels named.

I think we need to get to that stage where I'm like, okay, I don't know. I didn't pay attention to that. Well, this is why the ordering system comes into play beautifully. We don't have an ordering system. Maybe you should get an ordering system.

A big thing for one of our friends, you were actually flatting with him at the time, was people getting out and not drying themselves in the shower. Me. You get out and you sog up the towel. It's like a flood. Flood stricken region when you get out of the shower.

I'm out. I hate drying myself in the shower. Why? I just feel like I'm out. I'm out. I'm moving on with my day. The shower's done. I'm moving on.

But what you leave is you leave a soggy towel. Not only do you leave a soggy towel, you don't even bother putting it back on the heated towel. You leave it sogging sodden on the floor for the next person to use. I do, actually. I'm sorry. I apologise about that. And it would wind him up, wouldn't it?

Yeah. Sometimes I'd hear, like I'd be getting ready because I would have felt first shower, I'd be getting ready for work. I'd hear, Ben! Like I'm on a sitcom or something, like some character yelling. I'd be like, uh-oh. I forgot to put the soggy towels. I put the bath towel up.

How hard is it to put a towel up? And it's not that hard. And it's not. It was right. It was 100% right. So that's on me. So I feel like I'm going to exit out of this conversation, not because I'm not enjoying it,

but because I don't have an order at home. So I don't know the order. We do have an order, but it's just happened naturally. You're at the top, I have, mate? Of course I'm at the top. Of course, it's all about me, Ben. I've got my own rack. I just leave hers in a pile on the ground

No we do have an order But the problem is We do have an order And come on in here Megan Puffis is coming She's in here on another assignment But we'll bring you into this So we just had a question on our burner phone.

We're in the middle of the burner phone podcast. So a towel rack at home, where is the order of the towels placed? Do you have an order that maybe your towel would go at the top or near the bottom? Yeah. No, mine's on the right and my husband's on the left. Is that what you mean? That's a great order. He's getting in trouble for using his wrong towel,

not remembering and not putting out the bath mat up. The shower, you know. How do you know which is yours? I don't. To be honest, most of the time I don't. But I'm very good at, I do a lot of the washing most of the time. So I'm very good at rotating the system. So I'm like, you know, it's a couple of days.

This will be getting washed anyway. We're all in the same family. We're all clinging out of the shower. My wife and I. But I get like, have you used my towel again? For some reason, I mean, you get all up in each other's grill anyway because you're married, but that grosses me out

to be using each other's towel. It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes I'll wear it. Would you go and use her knickers? That's a good point. Very comfy sometimes. I like the feel, the soft feel they have on my skin. The support. Now when you're drying, I don't know if you do this, Megan, do you do the feel the soft feel they have on my skin the support do you

now when you're drawing I don't know if you do this Megan do you do the under the legs do you do that do you do that Ben no I don't I always feel sorry

for the towel in that instance I'm like I was the towel sitting there and brisk goes one day hoping to be you know to go to a home

and then I get I'm like this is it then suddenly you know but the towel knows what it's going to be. It knows it's destiny. It doesn't know that's its destiny. Jono Pryor's standing there at four in the morning. Deep in my caves.

They're like, this wasn't in the job description. I resign, I resign. Anyway, to answer the messenger's question, do you think she's worthy of changing order? She's sitting at the bottom of the towel rack, this lady, her husband's at the top, the foot towel in between in second place. Who does the washing and is supposed to be at the top? Or more often?

That's a great answer. That is a great answer. And that is another episode of the Burner Phone. Thank you very much for listening. Go and have a wonderful day. The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burner Phone.
