No. And it involved a jewellery from an ex. Have a listen.

We do this on iHeartRadio. We've got a phone number. You can text 4487. Text Burner Phone to 4487. It'll bounce back the number. You can leave us a voicemail. Ask us anything. The scope is wide open.

And it really just varies from one episode to the next. But one message we thought, it was too good for just the internet. One message we thought, this needed to come on old school, terrestrial radio, Ben. And it came through last night. Hi, gentlemen, Ben. It's Sophie here. Hey, I'd just love your advice on something that I'm going through. So my ex gave me a really nice ring.

And I've currently got a new boyfriend that I've been with for a long time. I still wear the ring that my ex gave me. But now my current boyfriend is asking me that I don't wear it anymore. I do love the ring. And I don't have any feelings behind it or anything. I don't really want to stop wearing it, but I don't want to hurt my current boyfriend. So what do you reckon I should do in this situation?

I'd love any advice that you have to give me. Cause yeah, it's a bit of a sticky situation. It's sticky. It doesn't get much stickier too. And I love that people come to us with these. What we had an issue with was someone's marriage was on the rocks, and they decided to phone the burner phone as well.

Well, it's probably less. I feel like it's less about us. It's more about the people that we can put them in front of, the people that can hear this, the hundreds of thousands of people around the country that can listen to that right now and offer their opinion. So what would you feel? Okay, Amanda, your wife, she's still rocking around

with a saucy necklace That her ex gave her How's that sitting with you Ben Boyce I don't know how comfortable I mean I do I don't know how comfortable I'd be To me it depends what the jewellery is Like I've still got both of my nipple rings

That my ex girlfriend gave me Ben They mean there's no sentimental value. They're just a couple of little ornaments from a chest. And I like those. You know they look good on me. So I feel like if it's a pendant or a necklace with even their picture in there, maybe not. Oh, definitely.

Yeah, pictures. That's definitely holding her. Pictures of them kissing, snogging. Yeah, what if it's a bracelet? Okay, so Jen's wearing a bracelet from a previous partner. I'm going, mate, let's go to the gold house opposite the casino. Get what we can for it. Then I'll top it up and try and buy you something that we can have as our own thing.

Yeah. And you can buy me more nipple rings. I'll replace mine. But then at the same time, you're like, well, it's just a piece of jewelry. It doesn't matter. I mean, like if someone bought them a T-shirt or a pair of boots, is it kind of the same thing? Or is the jewellery different? Well, this is what we need to chuck open.

Can you rock around with your ex's jewellery on? Oh, 800 the hits. 4487. It's a ring that she has. I guess he wouldn't have known otherwise. If it came from the ex, it's just a ring. So she's obviously front-footed or told. Where'd you get that?

Don't ask me that. You don't want to know the answer. Andrew, that's 4487. Can you wear a jewellery that was given to you from your ex? Are you okay with that if you're in a relationship? Are you doing it? Yeah. Someone's in a new relationship and they're wearing jewellery

from the previous relationship the ex has given them. Is it okay to do it? Many texts coming through there. Yeah. Someone's in a new relationship and they're wearing jewellery from the previous relationship the ex has given them. Is it okay to do it? Many texts coming through there. Absolutely. I've got five rings from ex-partners and I'm still wearing them now. My husband doesn't have a problem with them. Thank you from Jennifer Lopez there. Also, if she's been wearing it a long

time, why is it all of a sudden bothering him now? Lizzie says. He's just found out where it's from. Maybe that's where the bother comes in. Oh, okay. If she loves the ring, she should keep it. This wrecks of control, guys. Linda. Yes,

I was supposed to get married in March, and, well, didn't. But I still have the, and it's actually the full set of the wedding thing, so some days I wear the whole set, some days none. Do you mind me asking why? I'm not in a new relationship though, but I agree with the other lady that said about maybe if it was a bracelet or something like that.

Yeah. Why didn't you get married? What happened? Yeah, no. Basically, yeah. Fair enough. You don't you get married? What happened? Yeah, no. Basically, yeah. Fair enough. You don't have to talk about it. It's fine. What a great question from me, though. I know. I'm like, you definitely didn't want to answer that. It's fine.

If I talk about it too much, there will be tears. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, good. I hope you're okay, Linda. Listen, you go and have a great day. It is tough, but I think, as they say, each day it gets better. Oh, good on you, mate. Well, listen, love your work, Linda. You're a good person. You go and have a good day. Thanks very much.

Good. And that was one of those questions you instantly regret asking. I was like, why are you asking that? No. Kerry, you're on from Kitty Kitty. Welcome. How are you? Good to have you on.

Can you wear your partner X ex's jewellery? No, I'm triggered. I'm almost having an anxiety attack thinking about it myself. Geez, I've had one lady almost crying on me, one lady almost having an anxiety attack. Oh, if he was wearing his ex-girlfriend's ring, that would do your head in. Yeah.

She should give it to someone and then go buy a new ring. Or maybe he could buy a ring. Yeah, but she could just go and buy herself something special. But necklaces and rings, I don't know, they're quite personal. Earrings, anything else, any piercings or anything are sort of insignificant. But yeah, no, the ring. I know what you're saying. There is, for some reason, that line of jewellery does have a personal touch to it, doesn't it?

You're dead right, Kerry. She's playing with fire. She keeps it. Oh, no, fair enough. Okay, no, fair enough. Feels like this has happened to you before. I'm not going to pry into any details. Yeah, there's a significance there.

What happened? What happened? I want to know. Oh, come on. Someone tell me something this morning. That's a lie to everyone on the radio. No, because someone might recognise you. No, because no one might recognise you. No, fair enough.

Good on you, Kerry. You're going to have a great day. All right? You too. Thanks. See you. Now, another text here, 4487. I sold all my ex's jewellery and I went on holiday to the Gold Coast with my hot new boyfriend.

I think that's the best way to do it, right? Sell the jewellery, go on holiday with a hot boyfriend. 60% of people saying you might as well just hold on to it. It's not a big issue. I guess it really does depend on your partner. Some people it would be an issue, and other people, I don't really care. You're dead right, Ben. Horses for cool.

Do what works for you. Yeah. And that was the Burner Phone. If you would like to leave us a message. 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.
