Starting point is 00:00:00 Z-Dance! Let's go! Now let me see you dance! Z-Dance! Brie and Clint! Oh baby! Good afternoon! Brie and Clint, welcome to, I'm gonna go ahead and say it, a massive show this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:00:14 Happy Singles Day everyone! Oh and from me, the married one, Happy Valentine's Day. So we got both cats. Although we don't celebrate Valentine's Day. This morning when we woke up, and we listened to the radio, and then I heard Fletch, Fawn and Megan say Valentine's Day. This morning when we woke up and we listened to the radio and then I heard Fletch, Fawn and Megan say Valentine's Day and we both looked at each other and it was a race to say,
Starting point is 00:00:31 can we Valentine's Day first? I said it before her. So you win. I win. I win the Valentine's Day that we don't celebrate. There's some big stuff on the show today. We've got some Valentine's Day stuff happening, but we're talking to a lady who used to be married
Starting point is 00:00:44 to a 300-year-old pirate ghost. This is quite crazy. This is no BS. She's in Ireland. She is going to talk to us about it, but she believes it. I think she's left him now. They have left each other, but we're going to talk to her and chat to her about what that was like being married. Her last name is Sparrow
Starting point is 00:01:05 and the 300-year-old pirate's name is Jack. You can't write this stuff. You cannot write this stuff. You cannot. She's on the show at 4.30, okay? And before that, remember how yesterday we asked someone to call their parents and lie and say they won the $8 million in Lotto?
Starting point is 00:01:19 Well, someone's going to do it today. Someone is going to do it and I do not know what's going to happen. We're going to hear someone's heart break when we have to tell them that it's a lie. I feel a bit mean about that one. And also, we're heading down to Degree Bar in the Viaduct around five o'clock,
Starting point is 00:01:35 because we're going to kick off our float pre-party. Yes, we are, with Mitch James. Come and have a drink with us on Valentine's Day. There's a bar tab, Mitch James. We're going to be performing. Plus, Secret Sound, we haven't even mentioned the fact that today we could give away $20,000 with the DB Export Gold Extra Low Carb song.
Starting point is 00:01:53 If you hear, I'm Drinking It For You by Kashia and Tom. And to celebrate, I thought we'd get Kashia and Tom in to open the show. How about this? Let's do it. Two. $20,000 Going out to a lucky corner show. How about this? Let's do it. I love that.
Starting point is 00:02:27 All you have to do is listen out for that song and you have to be over 18 to win. You only need one hand to dial the phone. Yeah, that's absolutely right. You don't need two hands, my friend. Unless you've got one of those big iPhone Plus, you know, and then... Just sit it on the table and just dial with one hand. Great idea, Bree.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Great idea. When you hear that song in full, the first person that we talk to on ZM, $20,000. I hope it's today. Brie and Clint. Good afternoon, producer Ellie. Good afternoon.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Oh, this is getting serious. This is, isn't it? You told us a story off air about how you went to, was it Hungry Jack's? It's Burger King, yeah. Burger King. Oh, sorry. Yeah, New Zealand version of Hungry Jack's.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Stone the flaming crows, Brianna. Sorry, guys. Can I just ask, why do us bloody Aussies have to call it Hungry Jack's? I think the story I heard is when Burger King was looking to go global. Because it's not Hungry Jack's anywhere else. There was one restaurant in Australia called Burger King
Starting point is 00:03:22 and they had the copyright for it. And so this global corporation had to go and change the Australia called Burger King and they had the copyright for it. And so this global corporation had to go and change the name of Burger King just because this one burger bar was called that. That's the story I've heard. Could be an urban legend. No, that's probably right. You're the only country in the world
Starting point is 00:03:35 that has a Hungry Jack's. Also, Hungry Jack's is so far removed from Burger King. Just call it like Burger Dude or something. Burger Dude. I'd go eat there. So you were in the drive-thru? Yeah, I went to Burger Dude or something. Burger Dude. I'd go eat that. So you were in the drive-thru? Yeah, I went to Burger King and I was really starving. Me and my cousin went and we ordered. What time was
Starting point is 00:03:52 this around about? 20 past 4. Was it 4.20? Basically, it was mid-Arvo. We were 4.40ish. Yeah, maybe 4.40 just after that. And so we were very hungry and we got through the drive-thru, ordered the really quite a big meal and very specific. That's not like you. No, not at all. And so we were very hungry and we got through the drive-thru, ordered the really, quite a big meal and very like specific.
Starting point is 00:04:06 That's not like you. No, not at all. And then we got to the window and he was like, oh, that's $42 thanks. Whoa. Yeah, I know. That is a lot of Burger King.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah, that is a lot of Burger King. And so I went to find my card but I realised I hadn't brought my card. My cousin hadn't brought her card. So we'd ordered this massive order and couldn't pay for it. And we felt so awkward.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I was just actually like for five minutes in the window going, I'll just try and set up Apple Pay because there was no one behind me. I was actually freaking out. I was like, I need money and I just don't know what to do. What do I do? Do you not have Apple Pay set up? No, I really regretted it at that moment. I don't think they've got PayWave anyway. Oh, actually no, they
Starting point is 00:04:40 don't. Yeah, they don't. I think it's BK and KFC that don't have PayWave. Get with the program. And I think it's BK and KFC that don't have pay wave. Get with the program. And I can't believe that they arrested you for that. How was the cavity search? Yeah, how was it? It was quite enjoyable. No, and then we obviously had to just drive out and cancel the order.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And then we had to drive all the way home. And then we had to drive back through again. After you've done a real specific order too. Because you're a steamed bun person. Yes, I am. Exactly right. And I added honey mustard and stuff. So we got back to the window the second time.
Starting point is 00:05:08 It was just really awkward. I would have went to KFC. Yeah, no, we probably should have. We want to know this afternoon, on our $800.00 ZM, where'd you get caught without money? Where were you in this situation where, like maybe it was like bigger than that.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Maybe you dined at a real fancy restaurant and you're on a date and then all of a sudden, oh. This happens to me a fair while. You know why? Because every time I go out, I'll take my cards out and I'll put them in my pocket because I have a massive wallet and then I'll forget about that.
Starting point is 00:05:37 And then I said to you, Ellie, I went to buy groceries one time, $250 worth of groceries. Like I'd taken everything off the shelves. They'd put it all into the bags when we still had bags. And then I was like, oh, can't pay for it. You need to get multiple cards. Or like the Apple Pay, Android Pay saves you in so many situations. That scares me. Scares me though.
Starting point is 00:05:56 It's fine. No one else has got your fingerprint. You never know. Have you seen that movie Face Off? They took his face off one face and put it on another face. I want $100,000. We want to know where you got caught without cash this afternoon. Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:06:12 We were just talking to producer Ellie who got caught in the BK drive-thru with a whopping big order. $43 worth of BK, no card. It was around 4.30. This happened, if you were interested. I was saying she needs to have like Android Pay, Apple Pay set up on her phone, like all the alternatives. My old boxing coach was listening and he just texted and said,
Starting point is 00:06:34 hmm, seems like you know a lot about paying for fast food. But I reassured him it's just for, they've got pay wave at the fruit and veggie store. You bought that massive thing of hot chips yesterday. That was a Valentine's Day present for you. And that gravy all over it. Yeah, that's one of your favourite foods. How come you didn't give me any? We want to know.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I know $800 at him this afternoon. Where'd you get caught without any cash, Celia? Pardon? Where'd you get caught without any cash? I went shopping today. My normal day shopping is yesterday. But yesterday we got busy with kids stuff. And when countdown, I was shopping today and I just thought I had enough in the cart and I had $200 worth of shopping and it got declined like three times.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Oh no, you just literally didn't have enough money. Absolutely nothing there. Yeah, I tried three times. I took out some stuff. First time, second time, and still it was declined. I was like, oh, empty. So did Countdown, this is what I hear happen, did Countdown just let you, like, have the stuff for free? That's what they do. No, I wish. What?
Starting point is 00:07:37 Okay, was it like one of those movies? Did someone behind you in the checkout go, Celia's obviously shopping for her family, I'm going to pay for her groceries? Yeah. It did. My child was me. No. Someone didn't pay for you. Someone paid for your groceries. No, she didn't. Oh.
Starting point is 00:07:53 They're just all staring at me like Can't believe what you see in the movies. Celia, wait there, okay? We're going to get you some free mobile fuel to help, okay? Oh, cool. Thank you so much for that. No worries, Celia. I love that someone on the text machine has said, thank God you guys are talking about this.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I've just gone to the warehouse to get a Valentine's Day present and realised I don't have my card with me. It's a big... Also, you've left your Valentine's Day shopping to Valentine's Day. You're a very forgetful person. Also, what are you getting at the warehouse? Oh, chocolate. There'd be heaps of stuff there, wouldn't there? You should get them like...
Starting point is 00:08:27 Undies, you could get them undies. Or some kit set furniture. I don't know, don't look at me like that. Hey, Josh. How you going? First of all, would you be happy if I bought you some undies from the warehouse for Valentine's Day? Oh, I'd be out of the moon, maybe. See, see.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Don't lie, Josh. Don't lie. I know what men want. Would you be more excited... Unfortunately, I'm attracted to women. Would you be more excited if I bought you a Nintendo Switch? Oh, no, they do sound pretty good. See, call me the man whisperer. I know.
Starting point is 00:08:56 You know everything, man. I know. That's why you wanted to have a rendezvous with Will Smith. Oh, no, Will Ferrell. Get your burns right. Josh, where did you get caught without any cash? So I was out on Sunday, probably lunchtime
Starting point is 00:09:12 last year and I was with my ex-girlfriend at the time and I was like, yeah, I'll take you out for lunch, it'll be nice and then we ordered this sort of big meal and I was like, yeah, yeah, I'll work I've got some money and all that stuff It was Saturday night the night before, obviously,
Starting point is 00:09:25 in Dunedin and I lost my card in town. I didn't actually realise. I went to pay, didn't have my card there. She had no money because she was a student.
Starting point is 00:09:34 I had to give my details and all that stuff. So you did a runner? Well, not really. I kind of got my dad to come down and pay for it.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Oh, Josh! Is that when she became your ex-girlfriend? Yeah, pretty much. Oh, Josh! Is that when she became your ex-girlfriend? Yeah, pretty much. Oh, Josh! Should have bought her undies. Oh, no. The man whisperer.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Hi, Nayo. Hi, how are you? Good. Where did you get caught with no cash? This morning at the warehouse. Oh, no, this morning? Yeah. I was going, on the way to school,
Starting point is 00:10:02 I was going to buy my grandkids their school box, and I realised that I'd just been at the countdown earlier, and I'd left my F-Pos cars in our grocery bag, and we went into the warehouse, we'd been around, and yeah, we got all their books, got to the checkout, and I couldn't pay for them. And I said to my granddaughter, I said, to have to shoot home and get our cars. The lady that works at the F-Post at the South Checkout, she came over to me and grabbed our docket, gave it to the lady where you pay the cash, and said, I'm going to fix these books up. She got you the books for free?
Starting point is 00:10:40 She did. Oh, there you go. She literally just about made me cry. There you go. Who was that? Who did that? The checkout person at the warehouse. Yep, there you go. She just about made me cry. There you go. Who was that? Who did that? The checkout person at the warehouse. Yep, her name was Jeanette.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Jeanette. And I went back later on, I paid her back, and I bought her some Valentine's roses. This is a beautiful ending to a Valentine's Day miracle. Thanks, Nio. Thanks for calling us. That's exactly what it was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Thanks very much. Thanks, Nio. Ellie didn't get her BK for free, unfortunately. Went home, chewed a hole through the floor. Let's get some Spy. Dean, are you literally on the ground? Like, are you on the ground right now? Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Yeah, good. I'm just checking. Sometimes Dean flies in private jets. That's what I've heard. And I've heard he can levitate as well. So I just needed to check. He's the new David Copperfield. That's exactly what he is.
Starting point is 00:11:32 He kind of looks like him too. Big news today, Dean, concerning... Oh, the lead story that I've just completely forgotten. No, I've got this. I've got it. Wait, let him know, Dean. Let him get this. I've got...
Starting point is 00:11:44 I know what it is. It is... No, you got got this. I've got it. Wait, let him know, Dean. Let him get this. I've got it. I know what it is. It is... No, you got it, mate. Misha Barden. Yes. Because you used to live in the same building as her, didn't you, Dean? Oh, good memory, Brett. Hey, Misha Barden.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Remember from Orange County? First of all, she crashed into my building with a U-Haul. This is shit. So she had a U-Haul that was like 10 feet tall, right? But the front of my room where I lived was 8 feet tall. She drove in, 12 o'clock at night, came flying up the hill like a bat out of hell, bang, smashed into the roof.
Starting point is 00:12:15 You would remember I had all these dreams that I'd become best friends with her. Like when I heard she was moving into the building, I was like, I'm going to be friends with her. We'll be hanging out. We'll have coffee dates. No, she'll be in the building forever. So that was Mishima.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Never met a fan from my building and never paid the $30,000 bill either. But now today, she's in the headlines because she was cast to be in a movie, right? Anyway, the movie was called, what was the movie called? Something, some terrible movie. No one's ever even heard of it. Anyway, she pulled out at the last minute, right? And it cost them $300,000 to cast a new lead character.
Starting point is 00:12:48 And she never paid the bill because she doesn't like paying bills, apparently. And they are now going, the new Hills. So she's starring in a new episode of The Hills. You might remember that from like 10 years ago or whatever with Heidi Monteith and Spencer Pratt and all that. And they're
Starting point is 00:13:03 now going just through The Hills to pay the $300,000 she never paid. But I still think I should get $30,000 in, I don't know, damages. Just an emotional trauma, right? So did she never move in? She never ended up moving into your apartment building? No. See, she drove off the next morning. The whole building was falling down.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Okay. Okay. Exaggeration. I was going to say. Really, Dean? He never paid the bill. Yeah. I think the main thing we're taking from this is that
Starting point is 00:13:30 Misha Barton was moving into the same apartment building as Dean McCarthy. That's how connected he is. Stars move into buildings just to be close to Dean. I literally have, I bring that story up at any opportunity. It doesn't matter what we're talking about, I'll bring that story into the topics of conversation. Everyone I know knows that story. And the other story, I mean, it's a ripping one today.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Tell us about it. Okay, so drama. Usher. Here's what happened today. Actually, he's a very lucky guy, Usher. Awesome dude. He was at a recording studio in West Hollywood today. And the second next door to the same recording studio is Rich the Kid.
Starting point is 00:14:03 It's all in the one building, right? Rich the Kid is like a rapper. You may or may not have heard of him. He armed robbers break into the recording studio, hold Rich the Kid up at gunpoint, rob him, jewelry and cash and everything. And as they're escaping the building, they fire 10 rounds of ammunition into the air.

Starting point is 00:18:13 Linda, you're a legend. Look, we put the idea out there. We said, who's willing to lie to their parents? And your dastardly daughter came through and said she'd do it. We wanted nothing to do with it, Linda. It was actually never our idea at all. It was Holly's idea. It was all Holly's idea.
Starting point is 00:18:26 All along. Oh, come on. Holly convinced us to do it. No way. Oh, Linda's a sweetie. I was starting to think, how the heck do you deal with $8 million? But you know what? Petrol's a thing of the past.
Starting point is 00:18:40 You don't want $8 million. It ruins your life. It'd be horrible. I mean, think of the tax on it. It's no 8 mil, but we're going to make sure you both get a generous helping of mobile fuel. At least the next week. Well, I'll just drive around the block for a while and empty my tank. Good one, Linda.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Love you guys. Thank you. Bye. Thank you. Bye. Thanks, Mum. Love you guys. Thank you. Bye. Thank you. Bye. Thanks, Mum. Love you. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Hey, happy Valentine's Day, everybody. So all the lovers, all the people who aren't in love anymore, but they're just sort of going through the motions and still in it, but you might get something nice on Valentine's Day. I've never had a Valentine. You've never had a Valentine? No. What do you mean you nice on Valentine's Day. I've never had a valentine. You've never had a valentine? No. What do you mean you've never had a valentine?
Starting point is 00:19:28 I've never had a valentine. Do you mean you've never been in a relationship on Valentine's Day? No, I have, but I feel like I've never celebrated Valentine's Day. No one's ever got you anything? No. I took a girlfriend to a park for Valentine's Day once. Did you? Did a special picnic.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Oh, did a special picnic. Oh, did you? I don't know if I like it or if it's cringe. What park was it? It was a park on the side of Mount Eden. Oh, I know that park. What food did you take? I bought a wheel of camembert
Starting point is 00:20:02 and some crackers and some of that pesto dip and some crackers and some of that pesto dip and some pieces of salami from the deli. And I took, as the main event, I took some fireworks. You took fireworks? Yeah. And then did you nearly take her eyebrow off? Well, you sat on one side of the field.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I went out into the middle of the field. It was still daylight. Isn't that illegal? I was like, time for fireworks. And I went out to the middle of the field and lit the firework. Wait, you said fireworks. I lit the first one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:30 I lit the first one. It fell over and pointed straight back at us and started shooting fireworks at us. We had to get the picnic blanket. I had to throw the picnic blanket over the top of us while we got shot with fireworks. And that is... What a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:20:46 I think that's the last time I actually organised anything for Valentine's Day. Yeah, disaster. Yeah. That relationship didn't survive either, so... I hope. You would have thought with a picnic like that. It went on for a while longer. I don't think it was the death knell, but you know.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Is that the most romantic thing you've ever done? Well, no, because I don't know that it's particularly... Like you said, it's probably a bit cringe. I think it's probably the most romantic thing you've ever done? Well, no, because I don't know that it's particularly, like you said, it's probably a bit cringe. I think it's probably the most romantic, behind my proposal, the most romantic thing I've ever tried to do. Yeah. But it's just not, I'm not good at it.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Like my proposal didn't go well either. Well, it did, but. Hey, it's the thought that counts. The proposal went really well. She said yes, but I got down on one knee to Lucy. For now. And she says to me, I stumbled through the speech that I'd gone over in my head a hundred times. And it came out bad.
Starting point is 00:21:33 And then I got down on one knee with the ring. And I said, will you marry me? And she goes, oh my God, get up. And I was like, not the reaction I was after. She goes, yes, but get up. Why was she embarrassed? And I was like, not the reaction I was after. That's not how it's meant to go. She goes, well, yes, but get up. Why was she embarrassed? Yeah, she doesn't like public displays of affection.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Fair enough. I'm not a huge fan of them either, but I thought special occasion. Proposal. Proposal. But no, still. Because this is a tip for you ladies, because some ladies are getting proposed to tonight. By the way, it's Valentine's Day. What do you think about that? Some ladies are getting proposed to tonight. By the way, it's Valentine's Day.
Starting point is 00:22:05 What do you think about that? Some ladies are getting proposed to. Totally fine. If you guys like Valentine's Day, totally fine. I feel like it's a bit of a cop out. To do it on Valentine's? Yeah. When do you want to get proposed to?
Starting point is 00:22:14 I don't know. On a more significant day. On your birthday? No. On your anniversary? Yeah. Okay. That'd be nice.
Starting point is 00:22:20 At someone else's wedding. No. That is so not on. Can I give the ladies listening a tip? Yeah. Because if it's happening tonight, it's happening tonight. Okay? There is no going back.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Why can't you give my tip? Why can't you give me a tip? Are you saying that I'm never going to need a tip? You don't have a Valentine. You're not even dating anyone. You think someone's going to come out of the woodwork and just propose to you. You never know. There is a text message actually here.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Cam Mansell might propose to me. Cam could propose to you. There's a text here from someone who actually wants to date you when we go to Dun. You never know. There is a text message actually here. Cam Mansell might propose to me. Cam could propose to you. There's a text here from someone who actually wants to date you when we go to Dunedin next week. Do you want me to read that out? Do you want me to read that out?
Starting point is 00:22:51 I don't know about that. Or do you want me to just give out my advice? The advice. This is my advice for you tonight if you get proposed to by your boyfriend or your girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:22:59 2019. Girls can do anything. Give your response fairly quickly because the gap between them asking and you responding to them
Starting point is 00:23:10 honestly is daylight. You could drive a train through the middle of that thing and if you do have a response go in with the response before you go with oh my god, get up.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Today is Valentine's Day and on the Bree and Clint show we celebrate all types of love Clint Yes, joining us on the phone all the way from Ireland is Amanda Sparrow-Large Who married a 300 year old, deceased clearly, Haitian pirate ghost Good afternoon, Amanda. Hi, hi. Now, you're joining us from Ireland, is that correct? Yes, that's correct.
Starting point is 00:23:51 How did this even come about? How did you guys meet? What's his name? I practiced paganism, witchcraft, mediumship, that kind of thing for a good number of years. And he just really came in one night and tried to communicate with me. I didn't initially communicate with him. It was the third time before I decided I would talk to him.
Starting point is 00:24:10 He introduced himself as Jack and that he was from the 18th century, that he was a pirate. So wait a minute, wait a minute. I didn't believe him. Amanda, you're saying that you fell in love with a 300-year-old pirate ghost named Jack. Yeah, pretty much, yes. And forgive me if I'm wrong, but what's your last name? Well, my name actually is Amanda Lard.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I used to be a Jack Sparrow impersonator. When I say used to be, it was more like a hobby. I did it for charity and stuff. I did pull Sparrow into my name, but his last name was Teague. So now I'm Amanda Sparrow, large Teague. I have read online, Amanda, that you guys did get married, but you have since got divorced. Is that correct?
Starting point is 00:24:59 Well, no, we haven't got divorced. I ended up having to have a soul extraction or an exorcism because he did, in fact, turn out to be a negative attachment. No way. What does that mean? What does that mean by negative attachment? Well, pretty much the short version is almost like a possession, but just not quite as
Starting point is 00:25:17 bad. Did he try and take over your body? No, he didn't get to that point where he tried to take over my body. He'd attached to me, and he was draining my energy. But had I not really found out or copped on, it probably would have ended up in a false possession. So I was kind of lucky. God, typical husband's just mooching off you.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Am I right, Amanda? I don't know why I was so surprised at the end of the day. He was a pirate when he was alive. True. You know, he really, he was feeling bad. You've got to think for bad boys, clearly. Yeah, not trustworthy. This is Amanda Sparrow-Large.
Starting point is 00:25:49 She's on the phone with us from Ireland. She married a 300-year-old Haitian ghost who turned out to be not such a good guy. Amanda, because the guy that you married was a ghost, did you save a lot on the wedding? Because obviously none of his family were there because he was a 300-year-old ghost. Well, not really, because I ended up having to foot the bill for everything.
Starting point is 00:26:08 That's a good point. And another question I have, this is a weird one, but on your wedding night, did you consummate the marriage? Yes, yes, we've consummated it, so to speak, before the actual wedding night. What does it feel like, Amanda? It really doesn't feel that much different to a physical person in the sense that you actually feel what the spirit is doing.
Starting point is 00:26:32 The nearest I can say to somebody who wouldn't have experienced that is if they go into a building that's haunted and they kind of feel like a shiver up their spine or they've been to a medium and a medium will be able to say, the spirit's touching your hand or your shoulder and they may have felt that right amanda are you attracted to living people or just spirits um i am asexual so um i've always had an issue with with being attracted to a physical body so um so yeah i guess that that's why a spiritual relationship would have been
Starting point is 00:27:06 appealing to me because obviously there's no, you know, it is all about the energy or the chemistry if you want to put it like that. But I did start up a group for people that are in spiritual relationships and not all of them are demisexual or asexual. But I do see the reason why more
Starting point is 00:27:22 people that are asexual would be attracted to that kind of relationship. It wouldn't be for everybody. Fascinating. Okay, I'm sure you are getting global interest from this. So thanks for taking time out. Well, yeah, I have almost for the last year. It's crazy. Yeah, I bet. You're a pirate
Starting point is 00:27:38 ghost lady all of a sudden. So thank you for taking time out to talk to us. Amanda Sparrow-Large, all the way from Ireland, the ex-wife of the 300-year-old pirate Jack. Thanks so much. Thanks, Amanda. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Have a good day. Okay, she's gone. 0800 dial ZM. What do you think? We can't just play an interview with a lady who's dating a pirate, a dead pirate, ghost, and not talk about it, okay? What do you mean? I think we conducted our interview politely and respectfully.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Now we need to debrief. Now we need to, we really need to. I think it's legit. We need to unpack everything that just happened. 0800 dial ZM. Have your say. What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? You can text us on 9696.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Can you get married and consummate the marriage with a ghost? Call us. 0800 dial ZM. Bree and Clint. We just spoke. How fitting was that song? To a lady. Oh, she married a ghost, but she's a little bit psycho.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Who believes she married a 300-year-old pirate ghost? Pirate ghost. You heard correct. Her name's Amanda. Her last name or middle name, Sparrow. His name, Jack. She is a former Jack Sparrow impersonator. She is a spiritual medium who practices paganism.
Starting point is 00:29:05 And she said not only did she marry that ghost, she's been sleeping with him. Yeah, they've been sleeping together and they had to break up after a little while after marriage because he was trying to take over her body. Like a pirate who was trying to steal her ship. Literally. So let's unpack that conversation together.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Hi, Georgia. Hi, Georgia. Hi. Now, what do you make of all of this? Well, I do believe in spirits, but I don't believe you can marry them or have physical intimacy with them. And I just think that's a wee bit of a load of shit. Okay, that's totally fine. That's totally fine. What's your thoughts? Adam, good afternoon. What do you reckon, Adam? Oh, I think it's just a complete load of garbage.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Well, do you believe in spirits? Yes and no, but I don't think there's any way she could consummate the marriage. Like, what if the ghost didn't consent to the marriage? How does she know? That is a fantastic point, Adam. Well, she's, I mean, we just have to believe her. She's saying that he did. But, but. No, no, he's totally right. Consent just have to believe her. She's saying that he did. I, but.
Starting point is 00:30:05 No, no, he's totally right. Consent in the spiritual realm is a whole nother conversation that we're not even ready for. But like when they got married, was she just standing up the front by herself? Like, is that how it went down? I could have talked to her for hours. I honestly could.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Bex, you're on with us. You heard Amanda who married the pirate ghost. What are your thoughts? I just, I just, I'm gobsmacked. I think she said she divorced because he was starting a takeover, etc. I think the whole possession thing was way before she married this ghost of mine, to be honest. You think she was possessed way back then? Oh, come on.
Starting point is 00:30:44 You've got to be if you're marrying a ghost, don't you think? You're a little bit batshit, aren't you? Who gets what in the separation, Bex? That's what I want to know. He is entitled to half of her stuff and he's entitled to half of his, but all of his stuff's invisible.
Starting point is 00:30:57 So what good is that? Yeah, I know. I mean, he might have some great pirate booty, but if you can't see it, you can't spend it unless you take it to a ghost band. Technically, he wouldn't have anything because he would have given it up when he died. That's another great point.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Unless he had a map. AJ, how are you? G'day, mate. G'day, mate. Hello, mate. Now, you've heard all the facts and you're entitled to an opinion. What is that opinion?
Starting point is 00:31:22 I tell you what, mate. I think there's a special little place for her. It's called a home. She needs some care. Mm-hmm. And, yeah, I think it's a great question. AJ, though. AJ, though, one question.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Yeah, mate. Would you steal? Would I steal what? You know what I'm talking about. That's a rough question. Oh, mate, come on, no. That is no. No.
Starting point is 00:31:49 I mean, if that's what's possible, absolutely not. I think we need to stage a bit of an intervention with her, maybe. She's in Ireland. Seriously, don't worry about it. But just finally, AJ, if it makes her happy, do you believe in her right to marry a 300-year-old pirate ghost? Well, you see, it didn't make her happy because it wouldn't possess her. He screwed her over.
Starting point is 00:32:14 He's really got us there. He's got us there. All right, well, there you go. Actually, maybe to get my dad off my back about getting together with someone, I'll just say I married a ghost. Yeah, well, it would answer a lot of questions. It would. Yeah. Can't argue with that it would answer a lot of questions. It would. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Can't argue with that. Christmas is a little bit awkward. Is your boyfriend vegetarian? Yeah, he's sitting right there. Come on, guys, that is so rude. So rude. Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl.
Starting point is 00:32:41 She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic. Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plotline? That she can do. Brie and Clintz. What the plot?
Starting point is 00:33:00 I have three movies in front of me and Kimberly, you're gonna try and guess more of them than Bree to win a double pass to M. Night Shyamalan's Glass. Run at me, Kim. Run at me. I will definitely try. The score for the year is four games to Bree, one game to the people. Are you the person that's going to get the second win of 2019, Kimberley?
Starting point is 00:33:24 Definitely, definitely. Good. Here we go. So what are the rules? Your buzzers are your names. Okay. And it's best of three. Yep.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Can I use Kim as my name? Of course you can. Oh, you're competitive, Kim. I can feel it. Kim, if you just want to go, if you just want to go, I'll take that as well. Oh, what?
Starting point is 00:33:40 First movie, Don't Wait For Me To Finish. Forced out of his company By a former protege Dr. Hank Pym Recruits the talents Of a master thief Just released from prison
Starting point is 00:33:54 Lang becomes a tiny superhero Brie Ant-Man Ant-Man is Yeah Yeah yeah Oh my god I haven't even given it I haven't even given it to her yet.
Starting point is 00:34:06 I haven't even given her the point. Could be wrong, but it's not. Yeah. It's a point to Brie. I hate that stuff. I hate that movie. But if you know it, you've still got to say it, okay? It's not what's the movie I like.
Starting point is 00:34:20 It's what's the plot. Here we go. Second one. You need this to stay in the game, Kim, alright? Okay. Ever since her father drilled into her head that monogamy is not realistic, magazine writer Amy has made
Starting point is 00:34:33 promiscuity her mission. As much as she enjoys an uninhibited life free of commitment, Amy is really in a rut. While writing a profile about a charming and successful sport... Bree. I want to say...
Starting point is 00:34:49 How to lose a guy in 10 days? How to lose a guy in 10 days is incorrect. That means, Kim, you get a free guess, and if you get it wrong, I'll continue with the plot. Oh, okay. What's your guess? The longer you take, the more time Bree has to figure it out as well.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I can't think of the movie. You can't think of it. That's okay. I'll continue with the plot. I think Isla Fish is in it. I'll continue. While it. That's okay. I'll continue with the plot. I think Isla Fish is in it. I'll continue. While writing a profile, Bree. The Girl in the Green Scarf? The Girl in the Green Scarf is incorrect. Kimberly, you got any more?
Starting point is 00:35:33 You want to have another guess or no? No, keep going. Okay. While writing a profile about a charming and successful sports doctor, Erin Connors, she wrote Bree. Oh. I know it. It's got the comedian in it.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Five, four, three... Kim. Kim. The game or something like that. Wrong. No, no. What is it? While writing a profile about a charming and successful doctor,
Starting point is 00:36:02 Erin Connors, she finds herself actually falling in love for the first time. And what's more, Aaron seems to like her too. Amy starts to wonder if it's time for her to clean up her act. I'm going to start spelling out the name of the star in the movie. A-M-Y S-H-U
Starting point is 00:36:20 M-H-I-M Oh, I knew it was this one and it was just coming out. Oh, what is the name of that damn movie? I'm going to start spelling the name of the movie. T-R-A. Trainwreck. Kim.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Kim. Trainwreck is correct. My brain has literally got rid of the name of that movie. That was a tough point. We're at tie break, okay? Here we go. Let's get into this. A 16-year-old cancer patient meets and falls in love with Kim.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Fault in Our Stars. The Fault in Our Stars is correct! Yes! Kim, you've done it! Kim, you've done it! Oh, that was so hard. Oh, my gosh. My brother's going to be laughing at me because he took me to Ant-Man
Starting point is 00:37:06 and then we went and saw the second one. He's like, I'm sure I haven't seen the first one. He's like, I was there with you. We're going to send you a double pass to Glass and you have the second victory of the year over Bree in What's the Plot. Congratulations. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Thank you so much. I'm going to go have a cry over here. Bree and Clint. And also it's Valentine's Day. It is Valentine's Day. Me, desperately single, as we all know on our show. Yeah. I don't have a Valentine this year.
Starting point is 00:37:32 A walking relationship desert. All right. Okay. I thought... Drier than the Sahara. Okay, mate. I am getting old. I thought I would test out my skills this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:37:43 And earlier today, I put in a call to make someone my valentine. But I haven't done it for a while. And I thought, I need something to write on the card. And I was going to push myself. And I thought that I could use lyrics from a Drax Project song. I like it. If you don't know the song, I've decided to go with these lyrics. Last night, we met at one.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Drink till two. Dance till four. Walk to home. Wait till dawn. Sleep till noon. And now one more. Very romantic. Super romantic.
Starting point is 00:38:22 And one of the biggest songs of the last year and a half. Exactly. So it should be very recognisable. You should know it. You should know it. Unfortunately, the florist that we called earlier this afternoon didn't recognise it. Take a listen.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Good afternoon, girls. Franklin, this is Brianna speaking. Sorry, what was your name? Brianna. That's so funny. That's my name too. Sorry, what was your name? Brianna. That's so funny. That's my name too. Oh, no way. There you go.
Starting point is 00:38:49 With one N? With two Ns. Oh, two Ns. I'm a one N. Oh, there you go. Hey, this is a bit of a weird one. Do people call you Bri? Can I call you Bri?
Starting point is 00:38:58 Yes, go ahead. Cool. So what happened was, I know this is late notice for Valentine's Day, but I was wondering if you could help me out. I met this guy last night, and I was wondering if I could send him possibly today just maybe one rose or whatever you had, whatever I can get my hands on.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Yes, absolutely. Okay, cool. I've got single red roses for you. Amazing. They're $20. Just whereabouts would we be sending that one to? Auckland CBD. I actually don't know where he lives. I just know where he works. Okay, perfect. Yeah. What time is he working till? I think he works pretty late. I think he works like till around
Starting point is 00:39:36 7.30ish. Okay, perfect. And the name of the person we're sending the flowers to there? I actually don't know his last name, but I know that his first name is Clint. Clint. And am I able to write like a message for him on the card that goes with the rose? Yeah, absolutely. What do you want to say? Sweet.
Starting point is 00:39:53 So I want to write something because obviously I met him last night. So I was thinking last night we met at one. Last night at one. Drank till two. Drank till two. Drink till two. This sounds like a song. Yeah, kind of.
Starting point is 00:40:10 And dance till four. Till four, yes. Walk to you home. Walk to you home. Awake till dawn. Awake till dawn. Slept till noon and now I want more. And now I want more?
Starting point is 00:40:25 Yeah. Just that? Yeah. Can you read that back to me nice and clear, please? Last night we met at one, drank till two and danced till four, walked you home awake till dawn, slept till noon and now I want more. Amazing. You nailed it.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Lovely. That's all sorted for you, Brianna, and I'll get those ones out this afternoon for you. Amazing. Thanks, Bri. No trouble. Thanks for calling. Have a good day. Bye. Bye. Fantastic. So Bri the florist has absolutely nailed the Drax Project lyrics. Let's see how she would go in a remix. I know that's alright. Last night we met at one, drank till two, danced till four, walked you home,
Starting point is 00:41:12 awake till dawn, slept till noon, and now I want more. Oh, that is... Get rid of Hayley Steinfeld. Bree the Florist is in. Also, if you're looking for a romantic gesture for your loved one this next Valentine's Day, their birthday coming up, go with some song lyrics.
Starting point is 00:41:30 And can I suggest Akon? Damn, you a sexy bitch. Let's do a birthday banger. We're live from Degree Bar in Auckland's Viaduct for our final rehearsal performance of the Hot Mess Express. Mitch James is here. He'll be on very soon too. If you want to come say Mitch James and you want a free drink,
Starting point is 00:41:52 get down to Degree. And we're going to do a live birthday banger this afternoon. You've never done one of these before? No, this is our first time. Not 100% sure how it's going to go, but we're going to give it our best. We'll give it a shot. We're all trying, okay? So we've got Fonz here with us this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Hello, how are you guys? Fonz, you've shown up for the first ever Hot Mess Express performance. What are you expecting? Good times and great fun. There you go. He's lying. Good attitude. Give us your birthday, Fonz. What's your birthday, Fonz? 27 September. What year? 1978. Okay, Fonz,
Starting point is 00:42:22 you were 16 in 1984 on the 27th of September. And on that day, this was number one. Stevie Wonder! What a great song for Valentine's Day. I called to say I love you. What do you reckon? Yeah, not bad.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Fonz, you were hoping for, like, David Guetta or something, right? Is that right? Something more up-beat in here. Yeah. Well, you were hoping for like David Guetta or something, right? Is that right? Something more up-beaten, yeah. Well, you were born in the 70s, so that was a long shot, Fonz. Got to remember your own birthday. Okay, next up is... Mike. Hey, Mike.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Hello, Mike. Hiya. Where have you come from this afternoon, Mike? Work, mate. Work. Whereabouts do you work? KPMG, just down the road. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 00:43:02 Cool. Good to have you. What's your birthday? 21st of February, 1998. Well yeah, cool. Good to have you. What's your birthday? 21st of February 1998. Well, that's opposite ends of the spectrum. We've got a 78. Now we've got a 98. You were 16 Mike, in 2014
Starting point is 00:43:13 on the 21st of Feb. And this is your birthday bag up. Okay. Has the PTSD of hearing Pharrell happy so many times passed enough yet that we can celebrate it as a birthday banger? Mike? No, it hasn't. I agree, Mike.
Starting point is 00:43:34 I agree. It's horrific. I mean, a great song when it came out. The whole country was just punished by that song for about three years. So, well, I don't rate your chances, unfortunately. Your birthday banger chooses you, unfortunately, Mike. All right, let's move on to our last birthday banger contestant. Live from Degree Bar in the Viaduct, it's the Mitch James himself.
Starting point is 00:43:53 The Mitch James himself. Kia ora, bro. How are you guys? Hello, mate. How old are you, first of all? I'm 23. 23. Okay, so we're looking for a song that's about, let me do some math, seven years old.
Starting point is 00:44:05 God, you're like a fetus. I know. You're so successful. I think you meant me. That offends me. I think like some Katy Perry might. Oh, some Katy Perry. Katy Perry, all right.
Starting point is 00:44:14 That could go really good. We'll see what you get. I reckon Raw maybe. Raw is a jam. Is that what you remember on your 16th birthday? I can't believe I just publicly admitted that, but yeah. I don't think I've ever heard someone say Raw was a jam. Okay, give us your actual birthday.
Starting point is 00:44:27 26th of June, 1995. Okay, Mitch James, you were 16 in 2011 on the 26th of June, and on that day, this was number one. Oh, no. Check that. Mitch doesn't like it, but I think it's a banger. Put this in the Hot Mess Express.
Starting point is 00:44:48 We should put this in the Hot Mess Express. This would go off. We are not putting LMFAO in the Hot Mess Express. Mitch James gets LMFAO Party Rock Anthem. Can you cover that song? Do you know how to play that song? I don't think there's a song that sums me up more as a human being than Party Rock Anthem.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I'm going to give that a hard pass, Clint. A hard pass? That's tough because I'm going to vote for it. I think I'm voting for it. Oh, it's two against one. Load it up, Harry. Let's do it. This is Mitch James' birthday banger.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Live from Degree Bar, this is Party Rock Anthem. Against his will. Bree and Clint, ZM. Bree and Clint, ZM. Bree and Clint. There he is. Live. That's Mitch James' brand new song, Bright Blue Skies. He's here with us now at Degree Bar.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Hey, man. Good to see you guys. Good tune. We love that. We're really looking forward to seeing it float. It's so catchy already. I've only heard it probably five times already. I know the lyrics.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Oh, yes. That's what I'm after. That's what you want. That's what heard it probably five times already. I know the lyrics. Oh, yes. That's what I'm after. That's what you want. That's what I'm after. And I promise we are not just kissing your butt because you are the artist who has promised to come
Starting point is 00:45:51 and open for us at our gig tonight. The honour is mine. The honour is all mine. How good. Are you a single man or are you taken? Yes, I'm a heartbroken man,
Starting point is 00:46:00 unfortunately. You're a heartbroken man. So Valentine's Day may be a bit rough but raw for you? It's all good, you know. Just here to spread the positivity, the positive message. Good man.
Starting point is 00:46:10 He's got an absolute grisly look on his face as he says that, like through his teeth. He's like, yeah, I'm so happy for everyone else. Why did you bring up that? That's why I deleted Facebook. That's why I deleted Facebook, so I don't have to see everyone going, oh my God, I love him so much. Oh my God, I'm pregnant. Oh my God, I'm married. Is it? So I don't have to see everyone going, oh, my God, I love him so much.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Oh, my God, I'm pregnant. Oh, my God, I'm married. Oh, I know. And I'm like, oh, my God. I'm on Netflix. I ate a whole pizza to myself. Good news, though. They say breakups make fantastic albums. Oh, they do.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Look at Sam Smith. I wrote the best, I think the best song that I've ever written I wrote last week. Really? No way. Yeah, yeah. It's really special. It's called I Hate You, I I'm really no way yeah yeah it's um it's really special it's called I hate you I wish you'd die it's called a picture of you in Japan oh really yeah it's uh I'm really really happy with it it's a beautiful song so I'm really happy see it's those things where you're like I couldn't have done this if I hadn't gone through that
Starting point is 00:47:00 really shit time you know yeah it's a silver lining. I guess I'm super grateful right now to just be working on myself and just improving myself and trying to be the best version of me, I guess. Said like the person who just had a breakup. That makes this next idea somewhat inappropriate. We thought we could use and abuse you to make other people's Valentine's Day that much more special. Well, I love love. I love love.
Starting point is 00:47:24 So I'm on board for this. Okay, cool. We thought this afternoon, if you're listening right now, maybe you're driving home and you thought, oh, shit, I haven't got anything for Valentine's Day for my significant other. We thought we could use Mitch James to get you that something for your partner. How does a personalised love song from Mitch James to your partner broadcast to the whole damn country sound for Valentine's Day?
Starting point is 00:47:50 You can't buy that. Pretty damn good to me. You can get anything you want from Michael Hill Jewellery. You can't buy that. You cannot buy that. If you would like that this afternoon, and it doesn't cost anything, we're going to give it to you for free. Well, Mitch James might bill you for it.
Starting point is 00:48:04 I'm kind of broke. He might get an invoice. Maybe if I just give you my bank account details, we can work something out. That'd be good. Just plug it into your MYOB or something and send them an invoice. That's fine. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:14 So you call us. Yes, you call us and we'll get the number of your partner and we'll try and call them, get you both on the phone, and then we will get Mitch James to sing your partner a love song on the radio. I'm excited about this. Me too. Because I've heard Mitch's covers too. So this is a great...
Starting point is 00:48:31 Happy days. Happy days. 0800 dial ZM. If that's you, call us and we'll get Mitch to do a special message for your Valentine next. We are live from Degree Bar where a small but dedicated crew
Starting point is 00:48:43 are assembling themselves for the second ever Hot Mess Express DJ set. The bar is open. The tab is running. If you're in the area and you'd like to join us. Plenty of drinks on the bar. Absolutely fine. We're also joined by Mitch James.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Hey, Mitch. How are you guys? Valentine's Day. Yes, it is. And we put the call out earlier and said if you hadn't got your significant other a Valentine's Day gift, we could use Mitch James' services and he could sing a love song to your partner on the radio.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Welcome to the show, Melissa. Hello, how are you? Happy Valentine's Day, first of all, Melissa. Thank you. Are you in a relationship? Yes, I'm married. You're married, wonderful. I'm newly married.
Starting point is 00:49:24 This is my second ever Valentine's Day married. Do're married. Wonderful. I'm newly married. This is my second eve of Valentine's Day married. Do married people do Valentine's Day? Yes and no. I think we love each other every day. We don't need to commercialise it. I like that. No, I want gifts. I want gifts and I want...
Starting point is 00:49:39 You've got to take it where you can get it, right? What is your partner's name? Martin. Okay, your partner's name is Martin. This could be a bit awkward. Yeah, Melissa, I'm not going to lie. I'd sort of thought that I was going to be singing to a female, and now I'm about to sing some Ed Sheeran to a man,
Starting point is 00:49:58 and this is going to be intimate. Bucket list? Bucket list, yeah, I reckon, yeah. Martin, you said you love love. I mean, it comes in all shapes and sizes, so let's do it. I don't know. Did we manage to get Martin on the line as well, or? No, Martin.
Starting point is 00:50:13 No, because this is a no-caller idea, and he doesn't answer from no-caller ideas. Oh, bloody Martin. No, Martin's got some bad debts that he hasn't repaid, and he's scared of Baycorp. I'm with you, Martin. He's listening now, though, so if he's not at court, he would answer. He's listening.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Right. Okay, so he is listening to the radio. What do you feel, Mitch? A love song for Martin. What's in your gut? What does your musical intuition tell you? What's Martin's energy and what would he like? Mitch, you could just sing him hello like I did at Dave's 50th.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Oh, my goodness. Wait, do you know Melissa? Well, I was just at my manager's dad's 60th, and karaoke got pretty wild that night. Right. Me and my manager were up there singing Creed, and, yeah, it was something. No way.
Starting point is 00:51:01 So you guys know each other. Your manager's dad, that's such an intimate connection. Almost as intimate as me and Martin. Yeah, and it's about to be too. Melissa, here we go. This is from Mitch James to Martin via you for Valentine's Day. Awesome, thank you. I don't know hello, but I'll just play some Ed Sheeran.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah. All good. Baby, I'm dancing in the dark All good. You looked a mess I whispered underneath my breath You heard it Martin, you look perfect tonight There it is! Mitch James, personalised valentines for Martin. How did he go, Melissa?
Starting point is 00:51:58 It was awesome! I love you, Martin. Martin, you better be stepping it up tonight. I don't know what you're going to get to top that. No, Melissa's getting laid. We're live from Degree Bar in Auckland for our final ever warm-up gig, Bree. This is it.
