Listen to a couple of the Burner Phone episodes Ben, over the weekend.
I find the appropriate duration between 6-10 minutes.
Anything over that, I think we're just waffling.
Alright well is this class is waffling, you waffling about the...
The waffling?
Yeah, ok so this is the Burner Phone, let's rip into it, what we've done,
we've bought a Burner Phone,, we bought it from a service station, you can leave a message at any stage, you can text BURNER to 4487 and leave a message and we'll clear one a day, whatever it is, whatever you question, whatever, we'll clear it and we'll try and get back to your messages.
I didn't mean when I brought that up at the beginning, I didn't mean for you to...
Shut up mate, get into it, Shut up. So awfully. Too much.
The next new voice message from received on Friday at 10.10am.
How's it going, guys?
Not sure if you will even read this message.
The chances of you going through your voicemail is probably quite slim to none.
I have actually interviewed you guys when you're working
with Sharon on the Edge and you made a comment that I was quite a good interviewer. I would like
the opportunity to interview you guys one more time. One question each and you can just answer however you
want. If
that is something that you
are interested in, please give me a call
back on 027.
Would love to get on the pipes.
Hear back soon.
Cheers.
So DJ Hamish wants to hit the pipes with us
a bit.
All right.
When was the last time you hit the pipes, mate?
I don't know what we're talking about.
The interview, the last time we were interviewed was the other day.
I felt like, again, you want to talk about waffle.
Jeez, we waffled in that interview.
Oh, that was an hour.
Yeah, we were interviewed.
It was good, though.
It was quite therapeutic, I found.
Yeah, but we do waffle.
And you just, you veer off into it.
Sometimes I start answering a question,
and I don't know what the end result's going to be
and you just keep talking and you're like,
hopefully I'm going to pull it back around.
And I'd also find the other day too that I would not think of an answer
until you were answering the next question
and then try and weave my previous answer into you,
which wasn't really related to what you were saying.
It was just because I didn't, I have a good,
and then I'd go, oh, that was how I should have answered that previous question.
And then I'd try and pick up on what you were saying,
which was kind of off topic, and go, yeah, but another thing.
And hope that they were smart enough to put it all together in the article.
So he's like, it was a strange interview.
He answered a question, but then re-answered it a question later
for the whole duration of the interview.
It was always just a question off.
Yeah.
It would be so hard being a politician and going into,
so,
you know,
Ryan bridge on the AM show,
going to give you a bloody roasting on a Monday.
And what you're not prepared for,
you don't know what's,
you can kind of,
I guess,
have some sort of game plan,
but really at the end of the day,
you've got to be good at just talking shit.
Yeah.
Convincingly.
What I also find
too where because our job on radio is is to fill in the gaps you know to you don't want too much
silence so i find that people that just let us talk sometimes we just you just keep talking and
you're like why am i still talking but they just stop and you're like i should shut up now but you
just want to keep filling that silence and then midway through you're like i just told a whole
lot of confidential information about the company
that I shouldn't be saying because I didn't say anything.
I thought they were happy just because I was talking.
Just keep talking.
Well, we should call Hamish back.
We should get on the pipes with Hamish.
Give him the chance to ask one question.
Remember, we've got that six-minute deadline hanging over our heads too.
Yeah, I've made Ben all jumpy about that now.
Six to ten. Four minutes, Grace. All right, well well does hamish know about this no probably not i wouldn't
imagine so did you call him no no okay hamish how's it it's jonathan ben here we're uh in the
middle of our podcast we're just clearing our message for the burner phone and we got your
message nice to hear from you all right how's it going we're going message. Nice to hear from you. Hi, how's it going? We're going good. Now,
I thought you'd be
a bit more surprised.
Well, I mean,
I figured it would take you guys
a bit longer
to check your messages
to be fair.
We got around quickly to it.
We did.
We liked your message
in particular
so we thought
we'd call you back now.
Just so you know,
there's a six minute deadline.
We're trying to get...
Yeah, oh yeah.
So,
you wanted to ask us
another question each
which is fine.
Now, do you want to do this as part of the podcast
or is this something we do at a...
How does this work?
Oh, I didn't really...
Did you not have any questions prepared?
Nothing prepared immediately, no.
Because you said, I've got a question for each of you,
and how you answer is up to you,
which led us to believe there was a question ready to go.
I could probably...
Or I could give you 24 hours.
How's that sound?
That'll be fine.
Should we give you a call back tomorrow at this time,
and for the next episode of The Burner Phone,
this is like a cliffhanger, we'll come back to the question.
Perfect.
All right.
What are you thinking?
What are you wanting to know about Ben?
Oh, geez.
Just ask something, then shut up,
and I'll just keep talking.
So, yeah, I'll just fill in silence.
So that's a little trick for you.
It was less about what I wanted to know,
more just the fact that last time
that I interviewed you guys,
you seemed to really, because it was during your 24 hours on air,
and you seemed to really appreciate it.
I do remember.
It was awesome.
I enjoyed that interview.
Yeah, it was good.
It was great to have someone asking us questions too as well,
which was really nice because we tried to do 24 hours
and nonstop interviews.
And then it was nice to have Hamish interviewing us,
because suddenly Hamish was doing the heavy lifting.
Exactly, yeah.
All right, Hamish, tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow it is.
We've got to wrap it up, mate.
Six minutes.
Sorry, there's a deadline that Jono's put on us.
I haven't put it yet.
I regret saying it, to be honest, Hamish.
He's run into the six-minute clock now.
Hey, love your work, buddy, and we'll speak tomorrow.
No worries.
Cheers.
You never know what's going to happen On the burner phone
No
You do
Well
What I like about it
Is I don't know where it's going to lead us
You know
In our conversation
Because
You know
So that's good
What's the worst question you've been asked
Because I don't know
Hamish could come in
With an absolute blinder tomorrow
Like
You know
What's your
Read out your internet history
Oh that would
Don't do that one Hamish
No I don't know Yeah Normally you make a you read out your internet history? Oh, that would be... Don't do that one, Hamish.
No.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Normally you try and make a gag about something if it's something that you, you know.
What's the worst question?
Oh, sometimes the worst question is, can you go to this event that you don't want to go to?
Oh, you mean not just for an interview, just in general?
Just in general.
Oh, I'd love you to turn up to this fundraiser.
And you're like,
God.
And then the best feeling,
you go from the worst feeling in the world
to the best feeling in the world,
which is going,
looking at your calendar
and having something legitimate on that day.
Otherwise you have to lie about it
and say you've got something else on.
There you go.
Is that one of the worst questions you get asked?
Well, no.
Yeah.
Well, no.
Sometimes it's nice to do those things depending on what it is. But you got something else on. Is that one of the worst questions you get asked? Yeah. Sometimes it's nice to do
those things depending on what it is.
We can't do everything.
It's nice to give you time. You do raffles
and all sorts and MC stuff, don't you?
Yeah, I do. It is fun.
You're right. But sometimes there's things
of like, oh, have you heard about
the plight of the bloody otters?
And you're like,
I could give or take otters.
I know you get a bit weary about the school fundraiser, don't you? plight of the bloody otters. And you're like, I could give or take otters. Yeah.
I know you get a bit weary about the school fundraiser, don't you?
Yeah, I managed to palm the last one off to Clinton Randall.
Oh, on the edge.
Yeah, who's the edge.
Because our kids went to the same school at the time.
I'd done one the previous year.
You'd done your time?
I'd enjoyed it.
And then it came back round again.
Did the people enjoy it?
Well, yeah, I think they did. But the people enjoy it? And it was Well yeah
I think they did
But the people enjoyed
The occasion far more than me
Because they were partaking
In a lot more fun
And I was the guy on stage
Going guys listen up

You know
Yeah yeah
You're not quite
And I was like
Next time I want to come back

So I asked again
Which was lovely
They asked me to do it again
And I went
You know what
Do you know who's at the school?
Have you seen that show The The Masked Singer on television?
See Dancing with the Stars?
Dancing with the Stars.
The guy that hosts that, he's got the school, mate.
I've got his details.
You should get on.
Did he end up hosting it?
I think it was one of those ones that he agreed to,
and then COVID happened, and I don't think they ended up doing it. Jeez, you ought to be loving that. But yeah, but I think it was one of those ones he agreed to and then COVID happened and I don't think they ended up doing it.
Jeez, you ought to be loving that.
But, yeah, but I think, yeah.
COVID got you out of some stuff, didn't it?
A booking agent for Clint Randall.
Great, too.
And if I had the choice of me or Clint Randall,
every day of the week I'm taking Clint Randall.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Well, the bird of a phone.
