The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burnaphone do you know? Do you think internationally speaking? Guten Tag? Oh yeah, you've probably nailed a lot of them. What's the most, I mean obviously Kyoto in New Zealand is a great one, isn't it? I don't know any languages. I mean,

all I can do in French is Bonjour, Je m'appelle, Je n'étais. So what's that? Is that hello,

my name is Jonathan? Hello, my name is Jonathan. That's all I've got. And I remember that from Mrs. Fryer, my fourth form French teacher. That's good though.

It's still there. Great day too when she would bring croissants in. And she's like, we're going to experience the taste of France. We all got to have croissants. Really enjoyed that. Croissants and hot chocolate. That's nice. That's nice.

Isn't it amazing how quickly stuff drops out of your head? I mean, I would have done two years of that, and that's the only thing I can remember. It does go quickly, though, doesn't it? I really wish I'd learned a lot more, like more languages and stuff. Feels like something that if you get onto it early, you absorb it better. And that's what adults say when they get to a stage, you're like, oh, I'm too far gone.

Well, you did Toreo for a year or two. Yeah, and I liked it. Well, it was throughout one year, but I'd like to go back and do more. It ended up being online towards the end of it because of COVID, and I found that to, well, it was throughout one year, but I'd like to go back and do more. It ended up being online towards the end of it because of COVID and I found that a lot harder when you're not in the room

and you're doing it over Zoom. How are you digesting the language? Do you think you're learning it? Yeah, but not as well, definitely not as well over Zoom. Like I really like being in the room and just asking questions. It's, when you're on Zoom,

it takes a lot more to go, and now I'm going to unmute and now I'm going to talk to everyone. It just feels like an extra step in the process when you're in class. You just go, sorry, excuse me, how's that? Yeah, and it's always fumbly on Zoom if you both start talking at the same time because people are in the same position, Ben. No one wants to step out in front of a Zoom call, do they?

No, exactly. But there we go. Today's message. If you would like to call the Burner phone, feel free to text Burner phone to 4487 and you can leave a message on our voicemail like this.

Hello, is this Johnno in Burn? Where is my order of sharks with lasers on their heads? You know who to call back. This is Dr. Evil.

Okay? Dr. Evil. If you do not call me back, I will kidnap your family and I want one billion dollars. Okay? Thank you. Mimi, hang up the phone.

There you go. So that is a Dr. Evil impersonation there That was Dr. Evil That wasn't an impersonation, that was Dr. Evil I liked it, it was good I thought he was going to swear a few times, I won't lie He did well Far better than I can do at impersonations Yeah, baby

Yeah, Lost in Powers It was great, I mean, of its Powers was a, it was great. I mean, of its time, huge movie. And I do remember, I did love that scene the first time he saw it, where he'd been frozen for all those years, Dr. Evil, and then came back and he's like, we demanded a million dollars. And everyone's like, oh, that's not that much money now, you know? But it was.

For a while, a million dollars was like, oh, that was huge. It was a lot of cash. Yeah. Now to buy your bloody laundry room in a central city house. Oh, I know. So that was, I did, that was huge. It was a lot of cash. Yeah. Now to buy you a bloody laundry room in a central city house. Oh, I know. So that was, I did appreciate that gag. And, you know, shagadelic. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, baby. I mean, he created a whole new vernacular in that movie. I did put it on recently, and I know a lot of things don't, you know, like don't stand the test of time. But I did notice with the kids, I was like, oh, it's a fun movie. There's a lot of like, he's really quite horny, isn't he? He is very,

like he'd be a nightmare with HR, wouldn't he? And that's kind of, you forget about that. You forget it. For some reason, I was like, oh, Austin Powers, it's kind of like a fun, it's a comedy.

And then you're like, oh, he's got a pump for making his thing bigger and all sorts, you know, there's a lot of, I was like, oh, okay, maybe. He's almost borderline pesty isn't he yeah so i was like maybe and that was the time i guess not saying it was a randy time it was this he was like 70s or whatever that was the character so i guess it was free love and all that sort of

stuff but i'm like it seemed like everyone was obliging yeah didn't they yeah but i'm just like a lot of sex though with the kids i was like well then maybe this is maybe we should watch track where he voices the you know trick or something you know like a bloody dog on heat wasn't he and then i remember ladies with chesty guns didn't he yeah you're right yeah um but you know i thought that's that movie what's okay if you're gonna put let's rank your one movie if you were to play someone one movie that just summed up the human race. It's so hard, this. I was actually, we were talking to someone we know, Dom,

who works for a company. And he's a media guy, writes film reviews. And I think the company's called Letterboxd. And he was saying that he goes around and talks to famous actors about their four favorite movies. And I was like, I would struggle so much in the moment to think about my four favorite movies. I guess his actors do as would struggle so much in the moment to think about my four favorite movies his actors do as well because you're like you're like i like that movie

i like that movie and then but yeah it's just like you know if i was going to play anyone one movie yeah it would probably be shawshank redemption oh that is a really good yeah that is a great movie but then for me i'm like i wouldn't watch that every week, say. No. But if you've got one chance to impress someone with one movie. Google it. Oh, bloody Forrest, Forrest Gump. All time.

What are they saying is the greatest movie of all time? Box Office would be Titanic or something crazy, wouldn't it? Yeah, and also Avatar's pretty big. On IMDb, Shawshank Redemption is actually number one. You're right. So there you go. The Godfather, Dark Knight in there as well. Schindler's List, Lord of the Rings.

Pulp Fiction, great movie. Fantastic. Do you know Pulp Fiction? When it played at Cannes, the film festival, that was on this week actually, they gave Johnny Depp A seven minute standing ovation Jesus that's a lot of standing And clapping

Isn't it? Yeah There was the longest one 22 minutes the longest Standing ovation You'd need I think your hands Would go into trauma

That's huge Clapping so long But anyway Pulp Fiction Great Booed Booed when it played at Cannes Booed?

Really? It booed off Like at the end it was a Booed It was a stink movie And look at the market made on cinematic history. Looking through these

things there's a lot of great movies in there but yeah it's like you're right if you've got one chance to play a movie maybe something like Shawshank Redemption is a good

one. If I was going to watch something every week for some reason I'd watch something like Happy Gilmore or something for me you know.

If I was watching every week it's like it's easy. Anchorman for me probably yeah things like that I love Alf at Christmas time Will Ferrell I would watch that yearly

once a year I'd watch that you know but some of these movies great movies in there A Green Mile another great one oh yes boss

yeah it's a great movie it's a very very good movie that's in the top 20 as well so there we go this is John on bed just reminisce about movies that whatever we're saying

now, it doesn't matter. It's not going to make any impact on anyone. It's not going to change the film industry as it currently stands. But it might What? You just kind of trailed out there. I was just going to say something about your sex tape.

And then you stopped. And then you said, what were you going to say? And I brought it up. I shouldn't have brought it up. You should learn now. We've worked together long enough that if I stop myself, it's probably something

that you don't want to hear. Here's a fun thing. Here's a fun thing. Moving on from my sex tape. That was actually the name of it. It's not even in the top 100. Here's a fun thing. The bad boy sex tape.

Here's a fun thing. And it wasn't. There was no fun things at all. It was very misleading. Why don't you, if you're listening to, like, God forbid,

if you've gone all the way through this and you've got to this point here, God forbid. Why don't you message us on the burner phone with the one movie? The one movie. So just leave a message.

You just say the movie and we'll see how many of those we can play next time on the burner phone. Oh, yes. The one movie you'd play to impress someone who'd never watched movies. Yeah. So you on the Burner Phone. Oh, yes. The one movie you'd play to impress someone who'd never watched movies.
