The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burner Phone. Howdy doody. It's great to have you here, the Burner Phone. This is Jonathan and Benjamin. We are back and we like to clear a voicemail every day from a phone number. If you'd like to get that phone number, you can text BURNERPHONE to 4487. That's how it works. Now today, apparently we've got a roller roller coaster of a message, Ben Boyce.

Oh, okay. Dean, I have a friend called Dasha, and she's from Russia. Do you know where has a person from Russia or a lion go, like, fart your face out? Oh, okay. Okay. I might just have to replay that Just to get what the question was

I liked it though I have a friend called Dasha And she's from Russia Oh yeah Do you know where has A person from Russia Or A lion go like

Fart your face at So was that a question? Was that a question It was like I think it was a would you rather. Oh, like an option of. I'll play it again just so we can try and decipher it. I have a friend called Dasha and she's from Russia. Russia, great.

Do you know where has a person from Russia or a lion go like, fart your face up? A lion. A lion. Or is it a lion go andart your face up A lion A lion Or is it a lion Go and fart your face Is it a lion You're going to have the business

From Russia aren't you You can pick Dasha from Russia Yeah of course Over a lion Yeah Farting from my face Yeah Actually producer Joel

He's been banging on About this question all day I just thought of questions That like would you rather Yeah I I actually have a bit of a History with People from Russia Many ago uh on a radio station i used to work for we gave away a russian bride true story now producer taylor's new to us she's looking at us like did

you just regaling the tale of when we gave away a russian bride on the rock oh man i wasn't at the rock on those days but yes he did and But everything worked out great. It did. Yeah, no, she met a man. He won her. And 2023, I can hear it frowning upon that. But it was love. They found love in the end.

They did find love. That was the core value of that campaign. Love. Yeah. Okay, that's what we do it for. Now, Producer Joe, I brought you in here.

You're like, what's going on? Because we've just pitched a question on the burner phone, which we've dealt with. But you've been saying all day about a question for us. Oh, yes. That you've found. You've tweaked it from social media, right? Yeah, the hypothetical question that I've gone with today. So it's a bit of a long burner. Pretty much there's four different things you need to do. And you need to do one of

them six times, one of them 12 times, one of them 18 times, one of them six times one of them 12 times one of them 18 times one of them 24 times over a 24-hour period too right and if you can do them it sounds like some sort of saw movie or something yeah if you can do them you win yourself uh fifty thousand dollars which is a great prize okay this is the new promotion for the hit it's a new promotion yeah so the first one is uh six coffees that's we have to you have to drink oh no sorry the first one is six coffees. You have to drink, oh no, sorry. The first one is coffees. The second one is beers. The third one is distance in kilometres.

And the fourth one is donuts. So hypothetically you have to choose in the order which you want to do them. Okay, so that's six coffees. So what are the numbers? Six, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four. So you have to do an order. So would you have to drink all six coffees before I moved on to, say, running 12K?

12K and then drinking 18 beers. I can't drink 18 beers. I've struggled even to drink six beers, to be honest. Well, could you drink 18 coffees? Oh, gee. Six coffees in a row is going to really get the heart palpitations, isn't it? Yeah. But you could start with six coffees.

Then you're right, Ben. Then you go for a... 12K run, feeling like a million bucks at the end of that. Let's knock it off with 18 beers. See, I don't think... I could definitely not do 18 beers.

Like, not a chance in... What if they're... They can be non-alcoholic beers. Oh, that... Yeah, okay. I mean, you're going to be incredibly bloated, but then when you're bloated,

then you're squeezing 24 donuts. Yeah. Oh, 24 donuts. You could probably get a couple Sleeps in there as well I reckon I'm gathering when It's not like in a row Like we can have them

In one session Yeah Well the donuts I could eat Over a three hour period As long as I'm sitting down Eating donuts But then that's cutting Into your running time

Over 24 hours But you're right So what order would you Would you guys do it in I just yeah That was my order Okay so you were saying Six coffees

Six coffees Go for a run Go 12K run. Have the beers. 18 beers. And then eat the 24 donuts. 24 donuts, yeah. No, alcoholic.

What are you stipulating non-alcoholic? Okay, I would go. Full alcoholic. Oh, jeez. I would go. Do you know what? I would, and this is probably highly controversial. I'd go six beers.

Six beers? That's all I could handle. And then what are you doing after that? I couldn't do 12. Then I would do 12 coffees. A lot of liquid. 18K run. Right, yeah.

And then I'd eat 24 donuts. So he's drunk and alert while he's running. Yeah, and I don't think I could run 18Ks either, but I'll just, but I hopefully wouldn't mix it, yeah. Joel, can I also pull you aside too? You have spent an incredible amount of office resource and time on this question today. Going around the office. Asking everyone.

Let's weigh up how much time you spent on this, which is great, compared to stuff that needs to be done. Well, this is just content. I'm a content ideas guy. This is my speciality. Look, I saw a different version of it online. It was a more saucy version. So I went and pitched it to our great mates at the ACC as well.

There was the unfiltered version as well. You might be able to hear that at some stage. But this was the hits ones, you know, six coffees. Did you do it for the ACC? Well, I told them about it, but I said, well, mate, we've got out the idea first, so they probably haven't used it yet. They'll be reeling. But we've got out the family-friendly version.

Yeah. Well, 18 beers. Yeah. You had ciggies in there. So we tried to make it a little out the family-friendly version. Yeah. Well, 18 bears, family. Yeah. You had ciggies in there. So we tried to make it a little bit more family-friendly with non-alcoholic. What was the raw version? Is it really raw? Oh, it was really raw.

Yeah, one of them involved a bit of loving yourself. Yeah, a bit of self-love. Self-love Sundays. Yeah. You wouldn't want to be doing that 24 times. No, so that is a very random episode of the Burner Phone, and that's what you get with the Burner Phone. You can leave us a message.

You can just, well, I go to explain it, but then this person does it way better. If you want to join the Burner Phone podcast, text BURNERPHONE to 4487, and we'll send you our digits. You could be on tomorrow's episode.
