The Hits with Jono and Ben's Burner Phone. Filling out a love language questionnaire, Ben Boyce. What is our love language? Yeah, so there's different sort of love languages that people offer in a relationship, right? Yeah, so there's five different ones. Tell you what I don't love doing is filling out a 30-question questionnaire. It's just the same question, like popping its way back in multiple times. Yeah, so it's kind of, I think it's trying to decipher whether you're more of a touchy-feely person or a material person. Yes, that's the gist I'm getting as well.

Yeah, so is it more meaningful when my partner and I kiss frequently or my partner has purchased me a gift as a surprise? Yeah, and then I'd just rather just hang out. Oh, that's nice. You know, do something, you know. And so there's no option C in these things. Activities. They need an activities category for Ben.

Yeah. Yeah. So what was your love language, Taylor, when you finally completed the survey? So mine is like words of affirmation. So like compliments. Okay. Right? And I also like to receive gifts as well.

Yeah. Shock. Not really. So you're like column A, column B. Yeah. So what are the different love languages? There's five not really so you're like column a column b yeah so what are the different love languages there's five of them right so there's like so there's touch which would be like if you like to have affection okay yeah yeah right to feel the love really yeah so touch and then words of affirmation which is being complimented then like company so being around each other gift giving or receiving quality time, producer Joel's saying in my ear.

Okay, oh yeah, so I've got my results, my five categories. Oh, here we go, awesome. And acts of service is the other one. Is that doing stuff for the other person sort of thing? Is that what we're saying? Yeah, yeah. So it does say warning your results are not saved. If you want to save them,

you're going to have to download those to the computer. Please do so. Not important right now. Leading the charge, quality time for me, 30%. Getting physical, physical touch,

23%. I'll never say those words again. Words of affirmation, 20%. And then access service, receiving gifts, tied on 13. Yeah.

So what does that mean? My love language is quality time. Yeah, so whatever's number one is what you're really fixated on. Yeah. So that could make or? My love language is quality time. Yeah. So whatever's number one is what you're really fixated on. Yeah. So it could make or break the relationship if that's not being given or received.

How long does this quiz go for? Oh, man. To be honest, I really blindly answered the last 10. Yeah. A five through the last 10. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Quality time, I guess. I'm a bit of a homebody. Bit of a hermit. Yeah. So yeah, spending time together. That's pretty bang on then. Yeah. What was your one again? Sorry. Gifts and compliments. Yeah. What yeah, spending time together. It's pretty bang on then. Yeah. What was your one again?

Sorry, gifts and compliments. Yeah. What have you been? Have you got your results yet? I haven't got them. I'm just in the trenches of this thing. I'm glad the election wasn't this tough to vote on. Otherwise I'd be like, ugh.

This is why I don't like it when the company sends out surveys. You know, when they're like, and it's lovely of the company to be worried about how we think they're performing. But I'm just like, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, because you've got to do it. It's mandatory. Yeah. I think a survey, like, if you really want people to give honest and truthful answers in a survey, you can't ask more than five

questions. You lose me after five. This has 30, so. What I found interesting, because you're an Australian native, is it's compulsory to vote in the election over there. In Oz, yeah. You have to get fined if you don't, right?

Yes, I've received a few fines since relocating. So you had to deregister yourself from the role? Yeah, because I don't know when I'm moving back, if ever. So if I was going to move back at the end of the year, I would have just kept it. But they say if you don't know when you're coming back, get off. Yeah, right. So are you over here indefinitely, are you?

Yeah, for now. Other people will disagree, but yeah, for now. It's good for the management to know. You're not going anywhere. Good for us to know too, Ben. A bit of consistency. I might leave you two, but in the country, yeah. Okay, I finally got mine.

Acts of service. Acts of service. Okay, so you like it when so true or not would you like it if Amanda just went out and did something for you that you had on your to-do list you love it

love it and I love doing that's probably what I do doing stuff you know I do stuff I'm probably the opposite to John I hate like

being I love doing stuff yeah you are I don't have a weekend I don't do three or four things and go I'll go out that night

And we're out that night And things like that Yeah Us two on holidays We'd kill each other Are you a doing stuff person? Shit no Remember I tried to avoid

I avoid everything Every social thing I hate activities But I'm comfortable Doing it by myself Or for people that want to do it I don't want to drag someone along To do something I don't

Because you know I hate people who drag you to it Someone doesn't want to do it Why do you want to don't. Because, you know. I hate people who drag you to it. Someone doesn't want to do it. Why do you want to take them along to something, you know? Well, that makes sense. The to-do lists. Yeah. Getting the extra service.

Access service and quality time. Nice. Yeah. Which those two kind of can go hand in hand. What is the nicest thing someone can do for their partner? For me, personally, it would be minding the dog so I can do something. So that's Marcello. If Marcello comes and he looks after little Louie.

Louie, yeah, because I'm always with him and I love him. He's my son. But sometimes I just need a bit of me time. Yeah, gotcha. That's nice. Because Marcello, he's a warrior, he's a league player. How does it go visually him walking down the road with little Louie the sausage? He actually gets beeped at a lot,

and I think it's because the dog is, like, up to his ankle, and then he's, like, six foot something. He's a tall guy. He is. He's quite broad, too. Feels like the dog-to-human ratio is way off, whereas Ben's dog's huge. Yeah, he should have a dog, like, a big dog.

I should have the smaller little Louie. That's the dog that I can handle. Like, Bo, my big, white, fluffy Samoy. That's a lot of dog. Too much dog. We can swap. Yeah. Well, that was the Burner Phone today.

What was that website if people want to fill out their, if people want to put themselves in it? Livelovelanguages.com is the one. There's a quiz on there. It'll take, you know, it'll take five hours to do, but you'll get there in the end. Well, thank you for listening to the Burner Phone, and if you want to leave a message.
