And you can stay at Lanark Castle You can book to stay there It's haunted It's very beautiful Some people say it's haunted But I feel like they say that about every castle All castles are haunted I thought it was our only castle

It is our only castle What do you mean? There's no wide castles in here It's not the only castle though It's our only castle The name we were looking for King of a castle I have a chair

I have a chair The name we're looking for Bridget Okay Okay Woman called CJ answers the phone Yep

That's not Bridget And I said Oh hi CJ Sorry it's Brian Brian Clint from ZM We play name in a haystack You know the normal gambit I said if your name was

Bridget You would have won $2,100 To which CJ replied There's not even someone Who works here called Bridget

Okay And I said Well that's a good thing Really Because then they won't be Disappointed There's no grey area And CJ said

Okay see ya She wanted us gone He literally did. This afternoon we get a text to the studio from someone who says, Oh my God, I just heard CJ who answered the phone at Larnock Castle and said no Bridget works there. I literally interact with her a few times a week because she's the duty manager. What the F, C.J. Bridget, according to this texter, is the duty manager at Larnat Castle.

What was CJ on? Was she just a random person that happened to be at the castle and heard the phone ringing and was like, I'll get that. Let's call this person and find out. I'm still confused. I'm not going to lie. So this person books things at Larnat Castle. And says that she talks to a Bridget.

Yes. Right. Okay, now I'm up to speed. I get it now. She's saying there is a Bridget that works there. She deals with her regularly. This is a cold call. Yeah.

Bridget Can't take your call now Wait When you've finished recording Press hash for more options Or just hang up What the Wait wait I dropped it

What the fuck This is a new plot twist Let me read it again Oh my God Just heard CJ who answered the phone At Larnat Castle Said no Bridget works here I literally interact with her

A few times a week Because she's the duty manager What the F CJ Loll Okay So that text is from someone who is Bridget That says that they interact with someone

who is the duty manager at Lanark Castle name Bridget No, she's saying CJ is the duty manager and this person Bridgett interacts with her Is CJ Bridget's duty manager And Bridget works there We've got to get

We have to get her When she said Bridget just then It's like I'd heard a ghost Maybe it is, maybe this is haunted The ghost of Bridgett's past Ella still in the toilet by the way for anyone who's running a timer. Come on, Bridget.

Come on, Bridget. Can't take your call now. When you've finished recording, for more options, or just hang up. Bridget, Brian Clint from Zidem. We just got your text about name and a haystack. We're a little confused. Are you saying that you are a Bridgett,

because clearly you are Bridgett, and you work at Larnet Castle? Is that what she's saying? I'm texting her now. I'm trying to text her. I'm pretty sure she's saying she works at the castle. Yeah. And her name is Bridget.

And she found out that CJ was like, We don't even have a Bridget that works here. There's no Bridget that works here. Bridget who? I mean, it's still not going to be a win. It's just. But we need to talk to her. It's another one of those spooky almost.

Yeah. I want to know how often Bridgett's working at the castle. Was she meant to be working yesterday? And is the castle haunted? If you could get back to us on all those things, Bridgett, we'd really appreciate it. Thank you, bye. Thank you bye. Oh, did you want to say anything, Claudia? Oh, is this a message?

Hi, and bye. Yeah. Oh, hi, Bridget. Okay. Okay, that's up. Oh, bye, Bridget. I've texted her saying, Bridget, answer your phone. Should we try one more time?

She's going to be so confused. I could try one more time. Should we pretend to be telemarketers? Yeah. No, because... Prank. She hasn't... She's already not answering.

I said, Bridget, how answer your phone? It's us calling. Bridget, it's CJ. You're late for your shift. Bridget, it's CJ here. Oh, my gosh, hello. Bridget, Bridget. Hello.

Bridget, it's Bree and Clint from Z-M. Hi, Bridget. Hi. We're so confused. Yeah, what the hell is going on, Bridget? So, so can you just clarify for us? You heard name in a haystack. You heard CJ say that there's no one at Larnet Castle with the name Bridget,

which was the name we were looking for in a name in a haystack. That's all correct, right? That bitch. Okay, like, I didn't hear her say that, but that's just, like, I work here. I was here, that she... Wait, you were there! You were there? Yes.

Okay, this is... Oh, you're joking. Oh, no. Do you ever answer the phone when it rings at Larnet Castle? Yes. Oh, Bridget. Because it's like CJ and then like I'm next. So I'm in the office.

Now and then I pop in and out. Oh, my God. Are you shitting me, Bridgett? Oh, man. How did you hear about it? From another manager. She was like, oh, did you like here? And then she told me the story.

I was like, no way. What the fuck? Why would you tell me that? I know, but I was just freaking out because I listen to it usually on the way to work, but I would hear earlier. Yeah, I love the game. Oh, my goodness. Because we've talked about how when this game eventually does go, there's no guarantee that it's going to be someone who listens to ZM, you know, and it could be totally random to them. They'll be like, oh, cool.

I don't understand how I'm getting this money. But if it was you and you actually knew the feature, yeah. And I literally think, oh, I wonder that you've a call on at Castle. I was just freaking out. I had to tell almost everyone. Oh, my God. Is CJ on your list now, Bridget? She would be on my list.

You should take CJ off phone privileges. Yeah. CJ's getting fired tomorrow. I know. I haven't seen CJ yet, but when I do. Oh, shit. I said all the other question for us. You've got a very long voicemail from us.

You can probably just delete it. Okay. Is Linnat Castle haunted? I've heard many stories, but I choose not to believe in that, so I don't have to come in contact with them. Yeah, good idea. How old are you, Bridget? They say it is.

I'm 29. Okay. But have you ever had any experiences that you can't explain? Hello. Hello. Are you there? Did you hear that? Oh my goodness.

Why are you talking about the ghost? Did they come in? What the fuck? What the hell? Have you ever had a duty manager just randomly forget that you exist? Yes. Yeah. She didn't want you to have the limelight, Bridget.

I'm telling you. No, I will be honest. She's relatively new to being up like here and I'm like new coming back off maternity leave. So I still talk to her mom. multiple times a week. Is she still in her three-month period? Because it'll be easy to get rid of it. I'm just kidding, Pritch.

The mystery of the disappearing CJ. Oh, Bridget, I'm so gutted for you. What if, here's the question. Let's say. She's gone. Whoa. They got her. They got her indeed.

Either that or she had enough about a shit chat. Both probably. She was probably at work as well. Probably CJ cut the phone line I'd be Fuming Go back and listen to yesterday's podcast I think it's all chopped up into chapters now

So you can skip straight to the name in a haystack If we can I ask Because this might happen one day And it could have happened yesterday If we call a place And someone answers Not the name And we say

Does someone with that name work there And they say yeah they're sitting next to me does that count? No, it doesn't count. They have to answer the phone. They have to answer the phone. Because you're diluting it then and we can't guarantee that that is real.

True. Because then we've given them the name that we're looking for and then they've possibly heard it like Bridget has and they go, I know what to do here. And then they go, oh yeah, they look at it in the elbow and they go, oh yeah, Gavin is right here and they hand the phone and they goes, what the fuck, one way? Bridget texts back.

She said, I'm sorry, a guest. came to the door. A ghost came to the door. A ghost or a guest? Ella's back, by the way. For anyone keeping cats? Oh yes, Ella's back. I'm not well.

What do you reckon it is? We assumed. What do you reckon it is? My tummy bug. It's a ghost. Oh, it's a tummy bug. I don't know. It's just crazy.

You might have mild IBS. It'll be a ghost. It'll be a ghost. It'll be a vegan diet. Don't eat beans at the moment. She just. eight beans and it went straight through Yeah, beans will get you

All right, all right Beans, beans, good for the heart Beans, beans will make you have explosive diarrhea That's the same. That's the same See you guys tomorrow Oh boy, you're in a fire Who
