The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burner Phone going to phone today. How are you, Kyra? I'm good, thank you. How are you guys? Yeah, doing really well. Now, you just had what I thought was a very interesting life hack for those that like to indulge in stocking wearing. Now, what is your hack? If you get

a ladder or a hole in your stockings, put some clear nail polish on it and it prevents the ladder from getting any longer. Did you know that, Ben? No, I didn't. I don't know why you would know that, but if you start to get holes in the stockings, paint some clear nail polish on it. It'll stop

the ripping. That's a really good hack. Yeah. Who on earth gave that a bash and found out that that worked? It's just glue. Oh! I suppose it is. You're right, actually. And so you've used this? You've done this before? Yes, I have, and

it was very successful. I threw the tights out afterwards, but it's a hack you use if you're stuck in a tight position. Yeah, literally, with the tights on. And a good luck... I mean, if you're at the office, you're out at a function, restaurant,

you don't want a big rip up the stocks, do you? You're robbing someone and you're like, on my face with the stocking over the top, it's got a rip, you know, all that sort of stuff. With the clear nail polish on it. Yeah, well, maybe not that one, but you know, yeah. Useful for, you don't see too many bank robbers with the stocking over their head nowadays, do you? No.

It didn't really conceal much. No, it kind of just mushed your nose a little bit, didn't it? It kind of looks the same guy, but just with a mushed nose. Hey, really appreciate that, Kyra. That's great. Thanks for joining the Burner Fund. That's alright. Thanks for the call. Look after yourself. Thank you. So there you go, yeah.

The old stocking bank robber. You're right, Ben. It did just squash your nose. Was it breathable? I guess it was breathable. Yeah, it would have been breathable, wouldn't it, through the stocking bank robber. You're right, Ben. It did just squash your nose. Was it breathable? I guess it was breathable. Yeah, it would have been breathable, wouldn't it, through the stocking? But they really, yeah. If you go to the trouble of robbing a bank, let's invest in some balaclavas.

You were talking, you saw someone in a balaclava the other day. Yeah, there was an Australian show that was very good for many years called The Chasers. And they did a segment I remember seeing online where they were like, the stocking over the head, it's got a bad rap. And so the guy, as a social experiment, would go around town wearing a stocking over his head, not to rob anything, but just to go in places. A lot of people were very concerned.

They were like, hey, I'll just get this can of Coke or something. Yeah, so it is one of those. Understandably, that would be a concern. Much like if you walked into a bank With a balaclava on Yeah at least the balaclava's got a practical Like it is designed to keep your face warm The stocking's not designed to be put on your face As far as I'm concerned

No as far as you're concerned As far as anyone's concerned It's like more for the legs You know It's great for your legs Stockings are a very nice feeling on your legs Aren't they Yeah

Make your legs just feel all together. And make them look tanned. Yeah. I could do with some stockings on my legs. I probably have the whitest thighs, I'd say, in New Zealand. Because, you know, my thighs don't get out much, even in summer. Neither do mine, really, to be fair. Because I'm not really a Speedos at the beach person.

I'm not really a, you know me, I love, I always want to be wearing NRL Warrior shorts, but I just don't have the legs for them. So even that's, they're too, you know, it has to be longer than that. Yeah. That's an interesting life hack though, the nail polish. I was going to go, let's go, go. Five of the world's greatest life hacks. Here we go.

Store your natural peanut butter, Ben. Yeah. I know you're a picks guy, aren't you? Yeah, I do love my picks, yeah. Store it upside down so the oil won't separate as much. That's a great idea. That's a great little hack, isn't it? Yeah, because you often have to stir it up or whatever,

or, you know, with your knife. Not if it's stored upside down, baby. That's a great little hack, isn't it? Yeah, because you often have to stir it up or whatever, or, you know, with your knife. Not if it's stored upside down, baby. That's a great idea. If you put something down temporarily, say it out loud so you don't lose things. It engages more areas of the brain, which create a richer memory. So I've put my cell phone on the top of the toilet seat,

and then you'll remember where, you know, if you walk off and do something that's not as good as the peanut butter one That's quite good, say it out loud If you have a spare minute at home, do you have any of those? I can't imagine you're a spare minute guy How many spare minutes have you got on the day?

You end up filling it with something else, so what am I going to fill my spare minute with now? Just sit down and pet your dog or cat and appreciate them That's actually a nice thing to do You had a great saying Which I think you found somewhere What is it?

A dog is only part of your life A part of your world but for everything But for them they are Sorry I never get it right A dog is a part of your world But for the dog you are their world Oh and amen to that I think that's how it went

Every day I get home Little Milo is just He's just been waiting for one of us to come home Couldn't be happier And I suppose too He's like mate I'm stuck here alone I don't know when you're coming back I can't understand

You haven't told me Can't structure my day around it stuck here alone. I don't know when you're coming back. I can't understand. You haven't told me. Can't structure my day around it. If you have trouble making a decision, flip a coin. That's not a great idea. I feel like we started with peanut butter and then they're really going downhill now. I did like that one.

Yeah. No, brush your teeth. This is just like basic life stuff. If there's a jar or container that you can't open, you run it under hot water for 30 seconds. And that apparently loosens the seal. Okay. Yeah, that's a good one.

Yeah. Changing your pillowcase daily will lessen acne. Oh, yeah. Because you won't have all your face filth. Geez, imagine the pillowcases. How often are you changing your sheets?

Once a week? Once a week. Yeah, we do once a week. Apparently you're meant to change your pillowcases at least every second day. Really? Well, just because of the...

Oh, you flip them around. There's two sides. Surely you get a cup, you know, and there's other... If you have a rotate of a few pillows, you don't know which... You know, luck of the draw.

You may not use the same pillow twice. Yeah. And those, to be honest, those are probably the big bangers out of this list. Nothing else hack wise. I did like your talcum powder one. Yeah. I loved your dog saying as well that you kind of got out there. It was a real rollercoaster on today's Burner Phone.
