The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burner Phone. and we don't know what the message is until we get to it. Did we actually buy it from a petrol station? I think so. We keep saying we bought it from a petrol station. I think so, yeah. It's a petrol station authentic burner phone. I think it might be, yeah. Well, I keep saying it, so I hope it is. Yeah.

Well, we'll roll with it. Yeah. We'll roll with it. Why are people buying these phones? Well, as I say, when I went to Taurus, you know, in a short time, I bought one in America once upon a time for work. It was good. It was actually a lot cheaper because when you pay roaming every day,

it was quite good to have a phone within the same country. So, yeah, that's a reason. But then also affairs and drugs and stuff. Yeah, drug dealers. This is a dream service for the drug dealers. Always changing their numbers. But today's message, Ben, a bit of a connection to you. Oh, really? What's this?

Always makes me nervous when you say that. So what does it mean? Let's have a listen. You have a message received yesterday. Oh wow! Guess who it is? It's somebody called Jennifer. It happens to be your mother and who

hasn't heard from her beautiful son for a long time. So, hopefully you're relaxing and having a lovely day. And maybe we can catch up when you've got five minutes. Even a minute. Okay. Lots of love.

Even a minute. Just catch up for five minutes. Even if you're too busy to do five, one would suffice. Have you not given your mum much? I thought I had lately, but maybe not enough for my mum. Jenny, wonderful Jenny. She's a wonderful lady, Jenny.

She's always bubbly and always singing. She's always just singing. What does she sing? What are her favourite jams? One that she'll just sing. She's like a Disney character. You know, where they're always just singing. She'll be singing, but put another nickel in, in the Nickelodeon.

There was one that she always, I don't know, it's probably like how you sing, it must be love, love, love all the time. And you don't even know you're doing it. I know, yeah. Mum sings that song. I only know, put another nickel in, in the Nickelodeon. All I want is kissing you and music, music. That's all she sings on loop Yeah, I do

For some reason I'm the same with that It must be love Love, love I don't I have no Affiliation with that song I remember it's from

A Nappies commercial Yeah, yeah Yeah But some songs About putting nickels Into, I don't know But anyway, yeah Shall we give Jenny a call?

Yeah, we can give her a call Surely you can spare her 60 seconds Yeah, she's actually Staying over the weekend But Yeah, I mean you can spare her 60 seconds. Yeah, she's actually staying over the weekend. Yeah, I mean, you can spare her 60 seconds because you're making content right now. So she becomes, she comes into your world. Yeah, true.

This is one of the great mums of New Zealand, Jenny Boyce. A lot of great mums out there, aren't there? Yeah, there are. A lot of great mums. And notice they never stop mumming. You're right. No matter how old you are. Shined your shirt last week, didn't she?

She did a wonderful job. Hello. Hello. We just wanted to book in some ironing for Saturday. Just got a couple more shirts and pants, stuff that needs to be ironed. Just wondering if the same weekend service is on offer again this weekend.

Oh, well, you just might be in luck. Good. Jenny, we're sparing you a minute. We couldn't do five, but we can do a minute. You ironed some shirts for us. We were hosting an event. Ben turned up. He's like, Jenny boy's been running the iron.

Socks? Socks? No. Undies, no. Fingerts, no.

You've got to look elsewhere. Iron Man might do that sort of stuff, but Iron Woman, no. Iron Mum. I'm selective. I don't do sheets either. Don't do sheets. No. No, fair enough.

There's some people who do iron their underpants, don't they? I know. I think, yes. There are some very who do iron their underpants, don't they? I know. I think, yes. There are some very odd people around, but I'm not one of them. My issue with ironing is it just takes time. And it looks great when it's done. It looks fantastic. But who in the history of fashion decided we must have clothes flat with lines down them?

Who decided that? Because they've created a hell of a chore for us. I know it's a trend, but you can watch TV. I'm listening to some silly people on the radio. What's your favorite show that you're watching at the moment? You've always got some shows. What's the one that Bridget in, and then there's that spinoff one you've been watching as well? Queen Charlotte.

Yes, what's that? I'm watching Tom Jones at the moment. Oh, I bet you are. Tom Jones, you've got a new doco out, has he? Well, I'm not sure, but it's a three-part series. It's not a movie. I watched the movie years ago, but now it's something on TV. So part three is happening this Saturday.

While I'm mining, I'll watch it. Oh, well, that's good. Well, I look forward to having you in your stay. And also passing on, it's very good. Especially in the current environment, people are cash-saving tips. You like to keep things, don't you, Mum? I know. I'm a very good recycler.

Yeah, the little sushi things you were using for mouthwash or something you were telling me about at some stage. Oh, I know. But actually, you know, you can make little flowers out of the little, what are they called, the fish? The little fish you get the soy sauce. Oh, yeah. How are you making flowers out of it?

Oh, well, you just add it to a little decoration. It's quite fun. Flowers out of the little plastic containers. The little fish. Okay. The little fish, yeah. It's amazing what you can do if you feel like being silly. I thought of a great cash-saving tip, too.

Floss. You only use it once. You can at least get a couple of runs out of floss, can't you? I think that's probably not a no. That's a no from me. That's a no from us. That's too far. You pushed it too far there.

You pushed it way too far. Oh, Jenny, thank you very much again. You're welcome. Lovely to hear from you. Yeah. I, Jenny, thank you very much again. You're welcome. Lovely to hear from you. Yeah, look forward to seeing you again soon. And we'll get that ironing ready for you for Saturday. Thank you. Love you, Mum.

Bye. Love you. Bye. I didn't want to talk to Jenny about this before, but Tom Jones, very sexual character. Oh, yeah, that's why I was like, yeah, she's been waiting for the third part to come out. The third part of Tom Jones.

So is that who your mum had a crush on growing up oh well yeah I would imagine my mum was Julio Iglesias oh yeah she loved Julio Iglesias and

I remember dad my parents had a record of Julio Iglesias all the girls I loved before I'm travelling in and out my door I'm glad they came along and Carlos Santana was a big one for Andy Pryor

as well oh yeah loved a bit of Carlos. The way he ran his fingers up and down that guitar. Christaberg? Mum had the cassette of Lady In Red. Lady In Red

dancing with me. I remember that on many car trips. It's funny the songs you remember from your parents on car trips. Mum was a huge fan of Christaberg. That's right. I couldn't even tell you what Christaberg looks like. To be honest, probably the first time I've said that name in like 20 years.

Do you know, I'm going to play you what was honestly the soundtrack to my childhood. Mum and John Boy in the Air Force, they were in the Air Force and they were based in America, liked to party. Mum America, liked to party. Mum said we liked to party. Oh yeah? And one of their favourite artists, they would go hard. They said until you came along, we had a great life basically.

And I'm like, I know these songs. And I didn't even know I knew these songs. But from Mum playing them in car trips and stuff. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Phantom of the Opera. All that stuff is ingrained in my head because of car trips. I've never performed in any of these shows. Okay, what I'm going to play a game with you, I'm going to name the musical.

You've got to sing two lines of the song for the musical. Okay. Phantom of the Opera. The Phantom of the Opera is here inside my mind. That's an easy one. Okay. Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. I wore my coat with golden towers.

Cats, cats. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. Rob Tom Tucker is a curious cat. Lamers. Oh, Lamers. What's that? Oh, no, the Lamers was one.

What's that one? One Day More, but I didn't know. Mum wouldn't really. I know that one from a flatmate who used to, who we know, a mate of ours. He was in the performance of Lamers. And also Dan, who we used to work with as well. But I don't know, one day more. The mum wasn't in Les Mis.

Yeah, wasn't with her bag. Cats. Oh, cats again. Midnight, not a cell phone department. Chosen for the Deadly On The Dread Girl. Oh, geez. All right. Well, that was fun.
