The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burnaphone Hello there, welcome. The current time as it stands, 10.21 on the 2nd of August. It's a bit of a historical timestamp, Ben, if we look back on these episodes. Do you think at the end of your career you're going to look back and listen to old podcasts we've done while you're sitting in the bloody Ryman? No, I wouldn't imagine listening to all the podcasts. You might listen to Pockets a bit. There was a time when I first started out in radio, you had to tape your show on cassette

because you have to legally legally there has to be some recording of radio for the Broadcasting Standards Authority. Well now it's the computers and the systems that record stuff. Far more convenient. I honestly had about, without a word of like 200 cassettes on Rotate

because you have to keep them for I, a three or four month period. Ah, I got you. Then you have to record it again. Yeah. Anyway, they're all sitting in the attic, and one day I'll go back through all 200 of those cassettes. I don't know why I keep them. You keep so much stuff for-

Yeah. There's a lot of stuff that you're like, oh, I can't get rid of this, and you can't. Why? Sentimental purposes. Yeah. And then, yeah, kids are going to come along when you're gone and go, well, get rid of that. You're just like delaying the inevitable. Someone's going to chuck it out at some point.

Your mum's a big hoarder, isn't she? I get a lot of satisfaction of just getting rid of something. I just love it. Just love that whole, it's got, you know. But do you chuck stuff out and you're like, damn it. Sometimes. You do it in a frenzy too. Sometimes I'm like, get rid of it all. Get rid of it all, you know. And I'm like get rid of it all get rid of it all you know

so yeah and I'm not I'm yeah I was like people are quite I admire people that go we can sell that

we can do this thing I'm like just give it away put it on the side of the thing someone will take it gone you know whatever

it's done it's cleared it's done and then that task is off your list I know what you're saying because you like to be a list ticker

and you don't want like someone will go that kid's bike was $200 or something we've got to sell it oh well it's gone now someone else is taking it

they're having a good time with the bike it'll be great they've probably sold it I don't know whatever move on let's keep going on with life

I'm notorious at chucking things out happened to me yesterday actually my wife every sort of two or three weeks where's this and then I get this

sinking feeling in my stomach of like i've probably chucked it out yeah but then i pretend i haven't i was like i haven't seen that but i'm like in all honesty i've probably chucked it out we all know we all know uh this is the burner phone podcast and you can leave us a message all you have to do is text 4487 burner and it'll bounce back the phone number we've've got a backlog of messages too. Here's today's. Hey, guys. I've got a quick challenge for you guys, which could expose you in some way.

Wanting to know, what's the last thing on your browser history? I'll go first. Mine, Jacinda Ardern, greeted by a giant sad dancing kiwi fruit, which is something you guys were talking about on a previous episode. But yeah, thank you. Lovely, it's been a fun

And have a great day What a lovely message I just remember the thing with the kiwifruit It's very funny, that's when she went I think it was Japan, and they had big Zespri or kiwifruit costumes The kiwifruits looked a little Dead inside, didn't they?

I've never seen depressed kiwifruit before I think because they had music that didn't quite like it was violin music and they were kind of just swaying side to side behind jacinda yeah as she was proudly displaying our one of our finest exports kiwi fruit but yeah they were uh they had names and i think we spoke to her about them that's right and uh she's like because she's in her role as Prime Minister obviously had to be positive about everything. She can't go off and cause an international incident saying they were the most depressing kiwi fruit I've ever

seen. We said it to her. Yeah, but she was like, no, no, they were lovely. They were lovely. She's like, later on that day the media weren't there and they were dancing to a bit more jazzed up music. So she was like, they looked a lot happier when they were dancing to sort of dance music and things like that.

But last thing on the browser history, let's have a look back. It is a weird one when you look at that. I'm just having a look at my computer now because I'm trying to find stuff that's not work related.

How do you go back on your history? You can go here, history. Where's that? Is that on the Google? On the Google. I delete everything for you and I go on there and I'm like, you might get the cookies as well. But everything is all kind of, you know, research for things. I've got swept up in the FIFA World Cup, I've been looking at the schedules of the draw, it's on there as well. Trying to find something embarrassing that would be.

Yeah, a lot of it is just inane work-related content, isn't it? Which is, yeah. Like, you know, Challenge Petrol Service Station Penrose. If you want to know the honest last thing I looked up. Yeah, that would be. Well, that's not very exciting for the podcast. No. Turns out there's not a Challenge Petrol Station in Penrose, though, any longer.

Oh. Yeah. Does that excite you? No. Yeah, so that's just like yeah I looked up yeah that we're doing an interview with a guy uh about a book that dogs with stories that was the honest thing that I looked up last which again is not is not exciting so that's fine something that's you know when you type in my google history guess what the first thing comes up what's that how do I delete my google history oh what do you mean that's the that's the search like in google yeah yeah how do I delete my Google history? Oh, what do you mean? That's the search. Like in Google?

Yeah. Yeah. How do I view my search history? Go to Google account. On the left, navigation panel. That's quite a fun game. All right, type a word into Google, and we'll see what comes up in your thing.

Let's go the. The. The. First thing that comes up is the. Hits breakfast Facebook. Oh, I've got the Lakers. For me, I've been looking up a lot of basketball content. All right.
