The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burner Phone Yeah, this is our Burner Phone where we check a message every day and you dictate what happens in the podcast This one we played on the radio this morning Yeah, we've already heard it, we know what it's about but we'll bring you up to speed Now, backstory, we are the godfathers, the co-godfathers of our listeners' baby, Kenzie

Well, yeah, I don't know if official You listen to this message, we're definitely the unofficial godfathers of a listener's baby, Kenzie. Well, yeah. I don't know if official. You listen to this message, we're definitely the unofficial Godfathers because Kenzie was a... But we are the official ATM machines. Well, yeah, that's right. Because we've also had Kenzie's father, Andy, on the podcast a few weeks ago, right? And he claimed that we needed to give some money if we wanted to be godparents.

Yeah, hey guys, it's your mate Andy here. You may remember me as the father of your unofficial, not quite legal goddaughter, Kenzie. When I say not legal, it's when you guys aren't quite legally the godparents. But, you know, basically, yeah, things are going great. Just wanted to update you. She was starting to take her first steps about three weeks ago.

She's walking now. Sorry, guys. You weren't at the top of the list to ring. However, today you are at the top of the list because where you guys come into it is we need to buy you some shoes. Now, I don't want this to be a relationship where I only ring you guys when we need money. Maybe talk to you in the morning? Now, the problem is when he said, I don't want this to be a relationship where I only ring you guys when I need money. Well, both the times he has rung us, he's asked for money.

Yeah. Am I? Yeah. Have you spoken to him any other time? No, I haven't. I haven't. Or been money-related calls? No, we appreciate it.

Andy seems like a great guy and loves his daughter very much and is trying to, you know, get her some shoes. She's walking now, which is pretty cool. Thank God you said he was a great guy because he's been on hold the whole time, hearing everything we've been saying. Andy, welcome to the burner phone again. Hello, boys. How are we?

We're doing alright. Let's talk turkey and the fact we can't hand out any more turkey. I don't know if there's anything left to say. There's nothing left to say. Andy's like, why did you bring me on then? The budgets are tight around here at the radio station. I know we did for her education, I think

we shelled out, what was it, $300? $300, yeah. That's great, Dan, and we definitely appreciate that. Oh, nice. No, education-wise, we're still a few years away from that. Well, you can never really start education too late. No, so what does she, where have you put the $300 towards? Well, you see, you can learn a lot from a babysitter

when mum and dad go out for dinner. So you've paid babysitters with the money? Oh, so they're providing the education. I see, I see. Social interaction was changing. It was good for her. And we got time away, and the heart grows fonder, stronger with the distance. We went out for her. And we got time away, and, you know, the heart grows fonder and stronger, you know, with the distance.

We went out for dinner. But, yeah, no, she definitely knows who you guys are, though, because we did do a framed photo of you both. Oh! So I was like, what are we getting for our throw-out of bucks here? Because we're not the official godparents. We're kind of on the peripheral. We're not being updated with any huge milestones in Kenzie's

life, but a framed picture, you say? Yeah, well, it actually works out really good because she feels very safe when it comes to you two because there's actually a photo of yourselves and myself when you were, you know, when you were these celebrities on TV.

Basically, I went along and got a photo of you two. So she knows you both just by recognising you as you're hugging me in the photo. Familiar faces. You're very safe. Okay, well, that's good to know. That's good to know. And you say that you went out for a date night as new parents.

Did you find on your date night all you ended up doing was talking about your baby? 100%. I felt like I should have gone gone alone my wife was basically on her phone texting the babysitter the whole time getting photos we might as well have just stayed in yeah that's that's the real like the start realization you come to as parents and as you're like we've got not much more to talk about than the uh the two humans we created no i i feel like i'm gonna catch up with my wife again in 17 years and we'll have a decent combo. Have a DNM then. So I'm sorry, listen, we'd

love to pay for new shoes. The best we can offer, we've got two tiny little cardboard boxes I can see out there in the office with some gaffer tape for footwear. Oh, like footwear. I was like, what are in the boxes? But I see what you're saying, you put them as shoes. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Would you be interested in the cardboard box shoes there, Andy? Oh, like footwear. I was like, what are in the boxes? But I see what you're saying. You put them as shoes. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Would you be interested in the cardboard box shoes there, Andy?

Hey, you know, it's better than nothing, and, you know, times are tough, you know. We'll take what we can get. Oh, hey, listen, lovely catching up with you. And how is Kenzie? She's doing well? She started walking. Yeah, started walking. It's just a blessing to see her walk around.

And, yeah, she's just a blessing to see her walk around. And, yeah, she's a little cutie. She's got two front teeth and two, oh, sorry, two top teeth and two bottom teeth at the moment. And she just looks absolutely gorgeous. Oh, they are adorable. Obviously, he takes after him, huh? Yeah, they are adorable at that age.

But the problem is now she's grabbing stuff, right? She's got that height. She can reach things. Yeah, that's true., but yeah, no, loving being a dad, best job in the world. Alright, well, love your work Andy. Thank you for being part of the Burner Phone again, and you know you can reach out
