I always like to know Welcome along to the Burner Phone Is where do they make sound effects? Like who made You know, who made that? And what is it? You know? Yeah, you're right

There would be something that would actually Make that noise A machine? Yeah Of some description? That's a good point Back in the day, I know how people were like,

you know, they'll make sound effects to actual practical. I saw something the other day on the telly where they needed sound effects for a TV show or whatever and they were walking on gravel

in the studio, you know, to make it sound like the footsteps. So actually, you know, with a microphone recording it. Do they still do that? Well,

that's what I guess. Foley, don't they? Foley artists. Oh, who knows? They probably have all that stuff set up. They'll make it look like that and then go online and go,

oh, no, that one's good. Yeah. You'd think AI could do that for them now. Yeah, totally. But, yeah, no, back in the day, you're right. If you wanted to have the sound of kissing, people would... That's all right. Yeah.

Okay. I don't know what I Google here. Like, go, interesting ways to make sounds for movies. Here we go. 10 unusual ways foley artists make sounds for movies. Is that something you'd like to find out? Yeah, I want seven of them though. Okay. Ambient sound effects usually is... Now I want less, I want five. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Fire. Do you want the sound of fire? Oh, yeah. Then crinkle cellophane or a potato chip bag.

Oh. Have we got a potato chip bag anywhere? Is there any? Oh, no. Oh, yeah, no, we might do it out there. Yeah, we'll try and see. Oh, Ben's, here we go. Ben, next door, has got himself a bag of potato chips.

Now, you can create the ambience of fire crackling. Okay? Okay, I'm going to put my headphones on. Professional Foley artist, Ben Boyce here. Okay, so you need to go. What's that? Oh, no, it's a fire. We need to get out of here.

It's not safe. But it's just a fire heating us up in the lounge. Oh, okay. Oh, sorry. You're right. It does remarkable. Yeah, it does sound like a crack of a fire. Wow.

That's cool. That's cool. Okay, that's the first one. Stack of cash. You want to have a stack of cash. You know how they flick through a stack of cash? Yeah. Flick through an old deck of cards.

No, I don't have those. And you'll get a... Oh, he's got... Producer Dole has got an old deck of cards. Would you be wanting some cash? You'd think so, but maybe this makes a clearer, crisper sound. Okay, okay. Hey, flick through.

Hey, man, you've got stacks of cash, bro. How much do you want? Hold on. I've got heaps. Does that like cash? Oh, yeah. Yeah. He sound like cash? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Heaps of cash, yeah, mate.

Where's your cash, yeah? Do you want to hit the clubs and make it rain? Yeah, mate. Here you go. Take a couple of hundy. Thank you. Handing that over doesn't make a noise. Okay, that's good.

Metal venetian blinds. A tape measure. So you pull out and release a tape measure. That would make sense, yeah. Animals, like horse hooves, use coconuts. I don't have those. Yeah, half a coconut and you go... Oh, chopping them together, Evan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Something inappropriate was just said in my ear then. Oh, was it? About the size of someone's testicles. Oh. Oh, what? Okay. We don't need that, Joel. None of this. Let's not lower the tone of the's testicles Oh And refer Yeah What Okay

We don't need that Joel None of this Let's not lower the tone of the burner phone my friend Humans So A cigarette inhale Use a saran wrap Which is glad wrap I think

Yeah right I think that's what they call it over there Footsteps on the grass Scrunched up magnetic tape Or a cassette You know cassette tape oh yeah yeah great and i won't i can just keep reading this but you know you get the idea okay cool so the sound of the object or whatever the action that's being executed on screen doesn't necessarily

equate to the sound that creates that noise oh that's very cool jeez we foley eh yeah you'd think again there's just a database of sounds that they could... Well, there probably is now, but in the back of the day, someone would be... Does that sound like a fire? Really does. That's a great tip. Great tip. We should do a bit on the radio on this.

Yeah, we should. Create all the items. This is the burner phone, though. Now, something a little different, taking a bit of a different angle on the burner phone today. We have had on the burner phone a missed call. Quite a few times, right? of a different angle on the burner phone today we have had on the burner phone uh missed call quite a few times right what's the pin for the burner phone sorry team zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero yeah that's a scammer's dream right there isn't it just uh but we've had a number of missed calls from the same number 11 missed calls from this number now we're going to go through to them just to see what they want

it might be a taylor swift thing i'm guessing but hey it might be wrong at the moment we're giving you a chance to win probably the last two tickets taylor swift in february next year in aussie yeah flights are calm hopefully this person answers as soon as we announce the taylor swift competition i think this this person called 11 times. Let's try and get in the drawer. This is the voicemail box of... No. Go away. Oh, good morning, John O'Beddon.

How are you? Oh! Ah! Oh, it's our mate Tanya? Yeah. Tanya from New Plymouth. Yeah. We missed a call from you.

Oh. Um. I can't remember what I was calling for It was probably a couple of days ago I think it was from a contest thingy But I dialed that number I don't know why Taylor Swift? Yes, Taylor Swift You're trying to get to Taylor Swift

Listen A lot of people trying to get in the draw for this, Tans. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Yeah, she's a busy one. I tell you what. What?

Next week we thought we might do a competition with whoever leaves the best voicemail on the burner phone. Oh, that'd be cool. Oh, okay. Which could be you. This could be your sweet spot. Yeah, because you leave great voicemails. Okay. Would you like my really funny ones?

Surprise us. Well, yeah, surprise us next week. With us again? Surprise us next week. Okay. All right. Over the five-day period, whoever leaves the best voicemail, we will put in the drawer to go and see Taylor Swift.

What's been happening in your life, Tarns? Anything important? Yeah, just looking forward to surgery coming up. I don't know, sometime in the next six months. But other than that, nah. What's your surgery? I broke my leg last year because I'm quite tiny. I've got crumbs.

The pins are sticking out of the leg. Oh, jeez. Ouch. Yeah, yeah, so they have to get them taken out. Oh, mate, well, I hope you get into surgery sooner rather than later. Yeah, no, no, they're already, well, because I used to work at Bates Hospital as an emergency nurse. Now, being an emergency nurse, former emergency nurse, you must have seen some stuff.

Oh, God, yeah. Nothing that you wouldn't have seen. A lot of people come. This is a conversation I've had with a friend previously who worked in the medical industry. She's like an enormous number of people come in with various objects that have ended up inside of them. Yes.

In places. Inside the wrong places. Inside the wrong places. And she's like, they always come up with these elaborate, oh, I slipped in the shower or accident. Yeah, yeah. You know, I was actually bending down to pat the dog and I fell on this thing. What I feel sorry for is the person that actually that did happen.

Like, there's got to be someone's got to tell the truth. But everyone's like, oh, sure it did. You know? Like, there's someone probably out there that did slip in the shower and something did. The shampoo bottle ended up somewhere, you know? Yes, there have been some that are kind of accidents, but, you know what I mean, for the majority of the part.

That is an unfortunate accident, slipping and ending up with a shampoo bottle inside you. But, you know, that could happen. It could happen. And then you'd be like... Conditions would have to be pinpoint perfect. Yeah, yeah. It's one in a billion.

One in a billion. But, hey, it could happen. And then they'd go in there and be like, yeah, whatever, buddy. Yeah. Kids can be funny, too. They come in with all kinds of stuff up their nose. Oh, yeah.

My sister stuck a Barbie doll earring up her nose. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We had one kid that, you know, those giant marshmallows? Oh, yeah. Trying to get one of those her nose. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We had one kid that, you know, those giant marshmallows? Oh, yeah. Trying to get one of those up there. Oh, yeah. And it was melting.

The ratio's all off. It's three times wider than a nostril. It's like a boxer when they get a blood nose. The kid managed to squish and squish and squish and squish it up there. Yeah. And you're just like, what is the logic behind that? Yeah, I know, I know. What is the most...

Say again? What is the most interesting object you've had to remove from someone? There's so many. There's been, of course, light bulbs. Oh, light bulbs. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah, usually they end up with a colostomy bag. Oh, because there's a doubt.

I don't know if I'm... It's not a bright idea. Normally a light bulb is associated with a... I've got an idea, and that would be... We've had flashlights that were still on, but, you know, it really shone the light as to where it was. Oh, interesting. I mean, you've got to take a gamble

in life, don't you? You've got to see what's... These are the heroes that are seeing what's possible. How far you can push the human body. Oh, exactly. And, you know, we get people who, you know, swallow a lot of bizarre things

like razor blades. Yeah. A lot of kids swallow marbles. I've like razor blades. Yeah. A lot of kids swallow marbles. We were actually watching it before. Producer Joel was showing us something on TikTok where a guy was eating, very incredible. He could pretty much eat like a hot dog without the bread, but just the hot dog meat and just sort of suck it through. And put it right down.

How would that, as a nurse, how would that work through? You did three in a row, which is impressive, but how would that digest? Would that be a horrible thing to digest? A whole hot dog? Yeah. Probably because you know how your intestines and everything and even your colon and everything, it twines. You know what I mean? It snakes back and forth and back and forth so yeah quite painful it would be quite painful to

digest that yeah a bit especially because it hasn't been chewed and using you know the saliva and stuff and um these acids and whatever that break down food, you know, it takes quite a bit longer time to get down and to, you know, exit. You mentioned the marbles. My son, Ozzy, when he was about two or three years old, he did exactly that. And the advice from the medical industry was, well, you're going to have to sift through the sample, the stool for the remaining, you know, for the next few days. Yeah, my brother did the same, and he would constantly swallow the marbles because, and then he'd go, come on, come on, come on.

There was five of us kids, you know, and two boys, three girls. And anyways, you did everything to entertain yourself, but he'd swallow the marbles, and then you'd be like, okay. He goes, I'm ready to go to the toilet. He goes, just wait outside the door, and you could hear it go kerplunk. Kerplunk? Yeah. That job fell upon me for some reason.

Jennifer had done a lot of heavy lifting when it came to producing Oscars, so it was the least I could do. And, yeah, I found one eventually. It was a good day. Good day. Pulled it out. I was like, nah. Held it up high.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, listen, lovely to hear from you, Tanya. Now, next week, make sure you leave us an exciting message, and you'll hopefully go on the draw to see Taylor Swift. I definitely will. And, yep, I'll either wing it or just put my thinking cap on. But I'm usually better at kind of winging it.

Yeah, good. Just add a little bit. Don't overthink it. All right. Well, thanks for giving me a call. You guys have a great day. You too, Tanya. Lovely to hear from you.

I definitely will leave a message on the burner phone. Yeah, nice. Do some brainstorming, you have a lovely day alright you too bye bye, see you guys
