The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burner Phone. your messages are kind of dictates what we talk about. Yeah, it's quite exciting not knowing what we're going to do from one moment to the next. One episode to the next. But Ben, you do know what we're doing today. I cleared it before. I cleared this before. Now, this has happened to us another time. The ACC, the Alternate Cometry Collective, they work out of the same building here. Don't try and claim your

injury niggles with them because they will be no use at all. A different sort of ACC. You're right. They do alternate commentary for rugby league. That's rugby slash league. Cricket slash indoor netball. Yeah, they've done netball. I don't know. Yes, the netball was played indoors.

You're right. I'd like it to be called indoor netball. And they do a really good job of bringing a bit more personality and humour to some of the broadcasts. And who do you think, if you Google ACC comes up first, do you think it's the Accident Compensation Corporation or the Alternate Commentary Collective? Who do you think would lead? Probably Accident Compensation, would it be?

Congratulations. You win this game. But they love to give nicknames to players. They don't have their bloody, they're not even on the first page, mate. What's going on here? This is ACC levies, you've got even nothing. Nothing about commentary.

But this is important, just like your ACC levies, that they give nicknames to certain players and they kind of take on a life of their own once these players have a nickname. And a few weeks ago on the Burner phone, we talked about a player that looks like a sort of a bigger more musclier version of you like you would be the you know if i bought you off wish i bought this person you'd be the wish version of this person right he's he's just a bit he's a bit better but cooler his name is hugh renton he plays you've never seen anything nicer thank you he

plays for the highlanders and apparently he looks a little bit like you. Yeah, he does. I mean, if I committed to the gym, fitness, health, just in general, then, yeah, I could aspire to be Hugh Renton. Very handsome guy. Looks fantastic in a pair of Speedos. He does it on his Instagram. We have stalked him since then.

But in the weekend, he must have scored a try because the message that's been left on our burner phone is commentary from the ACC, where you, Jono Pryor, you scored. Have a listen. Held in the back by Jono Pryor. Pryor to the blaster. Pryor will score.

Pryor will score. There you have it. And we've won. We've had money on Jono Pryor scoring. Hugh Renton, get it in there, you boy. Can we get hold of Jono Pryor? Now, this is great for me I love this, don't get me wrong But it's terrible for Hugh Renton He's trying to forge a career as a player He wants to be picked for the All Blacks

We've spoken to Hugh, I said where are we going mate Where are we taking this thing To the top level And you're getting all the branding out there Yeah I mean it's great I feel like it's fantastic for me For Hugh's branding though

Yeah It's great for you A great moment for you on the weekend And I think the ACC might have had some Because they put on the occasional bet From time to time And I think they had money on you To score a try

Oh shoot I mean he's doing He's impressing people more than I am. He's probably at training, but we do have his number. Should we give him a call? Oh, really? Hugh Renton. You want to give him a call?

I haven't organised this. You've handed me your phone. It says Hugh Renton on it. Yeah. Is this his number? Is that what he's text through? Yeah, yeah. Did you slide into his DMs?

Yeah, we slid into his DMs? Yeah, we slide into his DMs. If he's not there, we can leave a message on his phone. He is probably busy. Do they train on Monday? Well, they probably do. It sounds like they're very busy. Although they did it. Don't they have a day off on Monday, like hairdressers and fish and chip shops?

Yeah, for having working weekends. That would be the downside for being a super rugby player. You'd have to work weekends and late nights, wouldn't you? Yeah, wouldn't want that. You're like, oh, Saturday. Just got to go away this weekend. He's not going to answer, and I don't blame him. No, I wouldn't either.

We can leave a message. Sorry, I can't make the phone right now, but if you leave a text or voice message, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Cheers. When you've finished recording, press hash for more options. Hugh, it's your mates Jono and Ben here. Congratulations on the try in the weekend.

I couldn't be prouder of us, mate. Jono Pryor on the ACC got a lot of lip service, some great commentary. Held in the back by Jono Pryor. Pryor to the bloodstream. Pryor will score. Pryor will score. There you have it.

And we've won. That's heavy. We've got money on. There you go. Apologies to you for not getting the credit you deserve because you scored the try. But Jono. I feel like you did all the heavy lifting there and deserve because you scored the try, but Jono. I feel like you did all the heavy lifting there and I've done nothing.

Well, we're done. So keep up the great work. It's the coolest that Jono has ever sounded. We love your work, mate. Thanks, Hugh. We'll hang up there. There we go. So that was lovely.

So congratulations, Hugh. He's one to watch. He is one to watch. And what I love too is we've got an early with him. Well, I'm just riding this wave. The ACC have done all the again they have done the heavy lifting yeah we're benefiting from their hard work yeah and shu's doing all the heavy lifting on the field and i'm benefiting from his heart so

we've done nothing but i feel like we've come in early with our relationship with you which is a good thing so he might be a like a black captain yeah one day and and then he'll feel obliged to take our call because he's been like oh these guys have been with me they've been you know from the beginning of my uh yeah near the beginning of my career so he'll have an obligation where he's like oh don't really want to talk to them but better than these guys now he's already better than us let's be honest he's already a better version of you do you reckon there will ever be a player that will look like me? Probably not, eh? Maybe. We

bumped into your doppelganger in Tauranga. That's right, that guy who looks very similar to me. Named Ben as well. Yeah, which is uncanny. Yeah, he does, like, honestly you are identical. Very similar, but again, both our physiques not built for rugby. Like, you wouldn't

have thought we would be, you know. So maybe one day we'll see. We actually did a stitch up on our old boss. That's right. Andrew with Ben's lookalike and a lookalike of me. Insert bald man here. White bald man. Wasn't you, Brenton?

And it tricked our boss because it was kind of, if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't have noticed. Yeah, we had a meeting that we had to go to. We were like, oh, this meeting's going to be on. And it tricked our boss because it was kind of, if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't have noticed. Yeah, we had a meeting that we had to go to. We were like, oh, this meeting's going to be on. Let's see if we can get out of it. So you and I got two lookalikes. We tracked them down.

To be honest, it would have been easier just going to the meeting. But anyway. It was actually quite a fun experiment. And we got them dressed exactly the same as us. And then you and I went into the meeting. And we started the meeting. And then i think i excused myself and then i went out and then the fake ben came back in and then you excused yourself and the fake johnno came back in and then we watched on with us hidden cameras to see how long it would take for the boss to notice and he kind of looked over quickly a couple of times and

then you saw him sort of double take and then go all right what's going on yeah it's hard not to laugh in that situation okay that's probably probably the reason why we're no longer at the tv station that was probably a meeting of like do you guys want to continue how serious are you about this tv show thing and we weren't that serious because we weren't there we weren't there for the rest of the meeting uh if you want to leave us a message well here's how we'll be back with the burner phone again tomorrow if you want to join the burner phone podcast text burner phone to 4487 and we'll send you our digits you could be on back with the Burner Phone again tomorrow.
