We're locked in Roo Brie, okay, let's go
Welcome to the show everybody
Brie and Clint featuring Ruby Toey this afternoon filling in.
They said a whole week of just me by myself was too much.
I had to bring in some special help.
Yeah, it was too much for the people.
This is so buzzy.
Like, I came in before and pushed the wrong button.
We're like live, eh, into the world.
This is live into the world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
By everybody who's like driving your car at work or training at a gym.
I like you guys.
Yeah, yeah.
Working in a petrol station.
Oh, hi guys.
Ruby came in, took her seat before and I said,
there's your volume control.
And she goes, nah, turn the microphone on.
And all these lights come on, like, radio's so cool.
I wish everybody could see this.
We're very lucky to have you in the studio today.
Not just to do the show with us,
but to give us a bit of insight
into the upcoming Rugby World Cup as well.
This is huge, guys.
New Zealand probably already know,
but the Women's World Cup is the last World Cup we have in our shelves.
Men's 15s, the women's and the men's sevens,
all lost at the last couple.
So we really need to keep this one.
We've got to keep this one.
This is our national sport, fam.
So, yeah, anything you guys want to know,
send through questions.
Actually, sorry, I didn't ask Clint if I could say that.
No, you can say that.
Send through questions and I'll give you everything I know, like everything, because it's exciting.
I love that.
Ruby's going to do the whole show with us today.
So she's here for a good time and a long time.
She's also going to play the secret sound today.
We're going to play you the secret sound before 4 o'clock.
You haven't heard it yet, have you?
You guys will not tell me what it is.
I haven't even heard it, but this game is like...
We don't know what it is.
I don't know what it is.
Guys, should I believe him?
You're like my family, they're like, we know that you know what it is.
Why don't you want your own family to have $50,000?
I'm like, Mom.
There's like the starting line up of a team.
The family come for you.
They're like, we know you know.
No one knows.
No, but I really want to listen to it.
I think this is like OG.
Like you're an OG supporter if you know how good the game is, Secret Sound.
Yeah, hard out.
Okay, Ruby will hear it before four.
You'll get to guess it at four.
And first, Tradyverse Lady with Celebrity Quizmaster Ruby Toe.
You're in charge of the questions, okay?
Woo-hoo!
I've always wanted to be a builder, so go in the Trades.
Up the Trades, you reckon?
Yeah. Well, also, ladies. I love ladies, too.
Yep. Trades, ladies, if you're keen, 0800 dials at M.
The phone lines are open now.
Scores a 61 Trades, 68 ladies.
Who's going to take it out today, along with that $50 cash from KFC?
I love this song.
You love this song?
I love this song.
Justin Bieber and Daisies.
It's Rubri and Clint on ZM.
Play Zatim's Bree and Clint with Ruby Toey filling in.
Did you just say something on the microphone you shouldn't have said?
Just every time the record and the lights come on, bang, it's like, it's like the ref just blows the whistle, you're not even ready.
Yeah, well, are you ready?
Hey, live sport, live radio, we're here for all of it.
Let's do it.
It's Trady versus Ladies.
Three, two, one.
This is Trady versus Lady.
We're every day at three o'clock.
The Trades go head to head with the ladies.
Sometimes the Trady is also a lady.
It doesn't matter.
What matters is the score.
We keep score all year.
And Ruby at the moment, the ladies lead the tradies 68 to 61.
They've led all year the ladies.
Not surprised at all.
Really great opportunity today, though, to go ahead with that score line.
Just that one more number there.
They'd like to take it.
That's the one.
Let's meet our contestants.
Our lady is calling from Dunedin.
She's 15 and she drove a train when she was 14.
Welcome to the show, Charlie.
I said, um, trainee.
I'm pretty sure I said trady.
Oh, you wanted to be a tradie.
Oh, I'll go with a lady.
I'll go with a lady.
You can do both.
You're amazing.
You're just a hero.
You can be a lady.
I'm betraying my own kind.
Wait, are you a boy?
Yeah.
Oh, this is a real mix-up.
You can be whatever you want to be.
Hey, hey, are you open-minded enough to represent the ladies today?
Yes.
Good on you, Charlie.
Hey, thank you for that $50 KFC.
Oh, you'll do anything for $50, right, Charlie?
Yes.
Okay, you're taking on our tradie from Dunedin as well.
Oh, awesome.
They're 19, and he once shot himself in the leg with a nail gun.
Welcome to the show, Jack.
Hello.
Hello.
Just checking, you did want to be a tradie and not a lady, Jack?
Yeah, definitely, be a tradie.
Yeah, okay.
Very good.
Jack of all trades, are we?
Okay.
Charlie, your buzzer is lady.
Jack, your buzzer is tradie,
and the first person to give us three.
Correct answers is going home with that $50 cash.
Ruby Toey's got your questions.
Good luck, guys.
Okay, Charlie Jack, first question.
I'm going to give you a clue.
It's a cartoon series, okay?
Which fictional character famously said,
Eat My Shorts.
Charlie.
Jack.
The Simpsons?
Yeah.
Yeah, we'll give it.
We'll give it.
One point to the Trades.
I'm nervous, okay.
Next question.
Not going to lie, if you get this wrong,
might judge you a little bit.
Who are the current
women's rugby world champions?
Trades.
Jack.
Blackburn.
Blackburn.
I like Jack.
That's a goodie.
That's a goody.
Okay, Clint, I'm going to need you help on this one.
Guys, who sings this song?
Please, please, don't make me.
Charlie.
Sabrina Carpenter.
Well done.
Oh my God, no way.
You're on the board, Charlie.
I actually thought it was fair.
Oh, well, why'd you say Sabrina Carpenter then?
Because I don't know.
Because you were right.
What a lucky accident.
Yeah, one point ladies, two points tradies.
We're still in this thing.
Okay, Jack, you've got two.
Charlie, you've got one.
One more, Jack, and you win.
Charlie, you've got to come in here with the defence.
Okay, I'm going to take you guys to the gym with me.
We're going to lie down on the bench.
And the question is, which muscle group does a bench press work out?
Ready.
Jack for the win.
Picks.
Picks, chest.
Yep, that's right.
Jack, congratulations.
You're the tradie-versed lady champion today.
You get 50 bucks cash.
So you've got to get them on the board for the tradies.
You've got to get it for the tradies.
Charlie, what do you say to allegations that you threw that game
because you actually wanted the tradies to win?
How dare you?
I don't think to be a lady, bro?
Yeah.
I very clearly said trade.
We love you, Charlie.
We love you.
Yeah, yeah.
You can email complaints at ZMonline.com.
Or at Bree.
Yeah, yeah, send your messages to Bree.
ZDM's Brie and Clint podcast
The record button comes on so quick
You'll get used to it
You'll figure it out
The Black Ferns left Auckland
Last night for the Rugby World Cup
It's about to get underway
Over in England
Their first games against Spain
In 10 days time
Of course we're all gutted
That Ruby is not in the team
For this World Cup
But it was announced yesterday
That you will be there
You're going to be there in England
Absolutely first plan was like
I still got to go over there, like, support my team.
Because it's pretty amazing, like, making a World Cup squad in your career is, like,
whether it's your first one, your fourth one, like Calibrasia, it's always just such a massive occasion.
So I was like, nah, I'm going to go, like, be a punter, just support the girls.
Well, you're just going to get tickets and go in the stands?
Well, 100%.
Like, I love, I'm like, yeah, I love a good live sports game,
and it makes it so much cooler when your friends are there.
But it's been a really crazy time, but a really cool one.
super excited to announce
I'm actually going to be joining the BBC
media team and
covering the game so I'm actually working the
World Cup. Hell yes.
Yeah and it's pretty crazy like I didn't realize
how massive the BBC
are.
Yeah, yeah, that's fair enough.
Some of you remember that clip from the Olympics
where I think that's where
you truly got on the global
radar and it was
at that Tokyo
games where everyone was socially distancing
and the reporters had masks on
and the reporter from the BBC
goes Ruby Ruby can we have an interview
and Ruby turns around and goes oh BBC
better be
clear with your questions
at the Olympics when you come off the
ground off the pitch there's like
all these media people lined up for interview
so I just was like oh yeah like one's
a newsletter in Brazil and then
the next is the BBC they've all got masks
on like and I just treat everybody the same
So, yeah, I really didn't realize how serious it was.
But it worked the trade and all the girls from, like, the England team after that.
When I sent them, they were like, bro.
And I was like, bro, sorry, I don't know what I did.
They're like, don't you even know what our TV channels are.
That's going to make a great video, though,
where you transition from not knowing what the BBC is
to literally being on the BBC at this Rugby World Cup.
It's very cool.
I think a lot of people, like, know you for as much as your rugby as they do,
your post-match interviews.
And what did those interviews do for you
and getting that kind of coverage,
not just at the Olympics, but at the last World Cup as well?
How did it change your life, that sort of attention?
I definitely have to preface, like, I've always been,
I've been in the game a long time
and I've seen such huge transition,
and I've always really respected
and been extremely grateful for anyone
who covers any of our games.
So I've always kind of handled interviews like that,
like just authentically with gratitude.
And so, like, that was kind of the first one
that like just popped off and then you know like people from all around the world wanted to
all of a sudden link up and do stuff like it was it was pretty crazy but it's also been
cool being able to like help other players deal with that um because it does get in your head
and I think sometimes as a young and you're like oh let's go do all this stuff but it's like man
you got to do footy first figure out yourself first look after yourself and then that's when
the best version of yourself can come out here man there's not talking on the radio hey
Water?
You're doing a great job.
Can you tell me, and I don't mean this to sound as salty as it does,
but why are the women so much better at the post-match interviews than the men?
I've never seen a more boring interview than with an all-black
directly after winning one of the biggest games of their career.
Do you know that it's so buzzy that they're like that
because if you meet any of the boys,
I'm really good friends with lots of them,
they're so cool, they're so interesting.
Except for maybe Artie.
Artie gives a real interview.
The man, right?
He's really conscious about all that stuff,
really does stuff off the field,
which I think helps a lot of men, a lot of males.
But we've just, we've never been afraid of opening up
and we've understood the business concept of
if we want to inspire young girls
and get in the face of young girls,
it has to be through something.
It has to be through a medium.
So like, you know, let's talk about it.
Let's talk about how we feel.
Let's talk about how bloody hard that was.
Let's talk about what it feels like, you know,
like I just missed out on a World Cup.
pretty crushing but also if I've got all my ducks lined up
I'm actually just full of joy gratitude and I'm pumped
and look what's happened you know look what's come out of it
well there you go you hit it here first on ZM Ruby Toey will be at the Rugby World Cup
she's going to be on the BBC can you be on our show too can you be our official
Rugby World Cup correspondent correspondent that's the proper word isn't it I was just
going to be your plug like yeah yeah yeah call me up anytime I'll be at the grounds like
who played what but I'll
we'll say this is a really exciting tournament for the Black Ferns.
Yes.
And England are ranked number one.
We've got a pretty nice pool.
So if it all goes to plan, we have Canada and the semis, you know, maybe South Africa,
Italy and the quarterfinals.
So it's going to be an amazing tournament to watch.
Already sold out tickets to the Allianz, which was Twickenham Stadium.
Already record numbers.
Like, you don't want to miss out on this.
Oh, we go.
We're so excited.
And great to have your insight as well.
That is Franklin.
Ruby Toe filling in.
How you going?
You're all right?
We're still here.
We're still here.
I think there's a break coming up for Fadipuku break, okay.
Yes.
Ruby goes to me, hey, um, when do you go to the toilet?
We'll do it shortly.
First, though, Brooke's here with a new episode of Brock Explains.
Brooke Explains.
We've done Laboos.
We've done the Ibitha final boss.
But today, and actually this week, it's all been Taylor Swift, hasn't it, Brooke?
Yeah, the Swifties, I think they're finally getting everything that they wanted
and everything that they hope for.
So Ruby, you will want to hold your way in for this.
Okay, I'll stay with you, bro.
Well, definitely don't let it out.
Not now, not now anyway.
Okay, so the last 48 hours has been huge information overload for Swifties.
We got the countdown on her website that there is something coming,
and that's when we found out life of a show girl, her next, her 12th era is going to be out.
Okay, and take notes.
Take, yeah, yeah.
There's a quiz after this.
And then today, we knew that the podcast was going to come out on her boyfriend,
and Travis Kelsey's podcast with his brother.
So that was going to have more information
about this new album and era.
I did see that.
It's the ultimate cross-promotion.
She has brought her fame
to their already successful podcast
and just sent it through the fricking roof.
It's genius.
That's so good.
Like entertainment times entertainment.
Yeah.
But also I think it was trust for her
because if she was to let any other outlet
have that inside scoop,
they could have easily turned it on her.
Do you know what I mean?
Like this trust, that's my boyfriend.
He's not going to do me dirty or cut me in a funny, you know, get it.
You'd hope there's trust there in the relationship.
So she went on new heights today.
A lot of fans talking online about how touchy-feely they work.
We don't really get to see that very often, so it's quite nice to see Taylor's.
She looks AI.
She looks gorgeous, but it was great to see her and Travis holding hands.
That's cute.
Yeah, it is.
I've never seen a podcast where people were holding hands during it.
No, that's true.
That is true.
You know, it's a different kind of...
There was a visual.
Wait, is that the gag?
There was a visual.
We watched it on YouTube.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, that wasn't my gag.
I mean, any podcast you've ever listened to,
I've never imagined the host's holding hands.
No, and you could really hear it as well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The flirting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She talked largely on...
How much of a cuck was the brother, though?
He was just watching them.
He was in another room.
He wasn't even allowed in the same room as them.
Poor Jason, Kelsey's just like,
oh, yuck, guys.
Yeah, when they made, like...
jokes at each other and that's my brother you're talking my younger brother you're talking about
anyway a large chunk of the podcast was talking about like the reowning of her masters which was a
big deal yeah big deal for her to get them back so she owns all her music now this is obviously
the 12th is going to be like her first after the big ordeal of getting her masters back
and i found this very interesting we've got some audio she wrote this new album that comes out on
October 3rd during the ERAs tour.
It was something that I was working on while I was in Europe on the ERAs tour.
So while you're on tour?
I was working.
I would be on tour.
How on earth did she do this on the tour is still blowing my mind?
I just love it.
I just love it a lot.
I love music.
I would be playing shows.
I'd do like three shows in a row.
I'd have three days off.
I'd fly to Sweden, go back to the tour.
And actually like working on this, I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour,
but I was so.
mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating.
That's impressive.
That is wildly impressive.
I would think my output of work during a time where I'm already at my wits
some of the song lyrics, you can imagine that you'd write if you were really tired
would not be good.
The typos on your iPhone, A, the autocorrect would just be out of the gate.
I just want to say, though, the hype from her partner, like, that is so cool.
Yeah.
You know, when you're doing something massive and your people like to support you through and
and he's like hyping her up, giving her that kudos.
Like, that's probably why she can do it.
He is her biggest cheerleader, right?
Yeah, and there is a lot of stick because obviously he's talking to a male-dominated sports
podcast who, any chance they get rip in on Taylor Swift, I think she made a gag as well
being like, you know what male sports spaces need?
More of my face, because everyone would boo when she was on the big jumbo jazz.
That's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah.
When I did a sabbatical over in America, and when I was staying there, Taylor Swift was on tour.
So I ended up in the same city as her tours.
And when I say, like, you couldn't get a coffee, you couldn't get a hotel room,
you couldn't even, like, walk through the town without 100,000 little mini Taylor Swift's
and their mums, who were also like Taylor Swift as well.
Yeah.
Like, you've got to respect, like, the power she's just dominated the world with.
And I think that will be really cool for that male audience, you know, like, man, they can do it.
We can do it too.
Let's all bloody do it together.
And the world will be a better place.
100%.
It was very informative.
It was a great episode of Brooke Explains.
Thank you.
I feel like I get it now.
I feel like I get the whole thing.
When does the album come out?
It comes out October 3rd.
There it is.
Z-N's Braynclin.
Brean Clinton and Ruby Toey.
It's okay.
You don't have to look like someone just jumped out of a bush
every time we turn the microphone on.
It just gives me such a fright.
Like you and Bree must be so useless.
But like, guys, if you're listening,
there's just like, I don't know how many fluorescent lights
that just turn on.
But you'd be used to floodlights.
They're just like floodlights in a stadium.
Yeah, but they don't like, you know, strobe light.
It's just, it's up.
Yeah, it's like someone forgot to turn the key on at the rugby fields
and then bang, it's on.
Also, you do give me warning.
I just like forget.
It's okay.
It's your first time.
We're an hour one of your new career as a radio host, so it's all good.
I've got Soundkeeper Brooke back in here because I thought you could have a guess at the secret sound, Ruby Toey.
I've always wanted to do this.
This is a lifelong dream.
Yeah.
Oh, it's secret sound.
Like you grow up guessing this.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
And it annoys the heck out of you.
What's going to be annoying for you is Brooke is unable to tell you if you get the sound right.
That's weird.
Am I allowed to tell her if she gets it wrong?
Yep.
Okay.
Yeah.
If you're willing to, yeah.
You can, it's going to be, it's going to be extra.
Can I hear her guess first?
It's going to be extra suss if you go, oh, I'm not going to answer that one.
Oh, yeah, true.
Pleased the fifth.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's just, let's just play.
You feel the vibes?
Yeah, I will.
Ruby hasn't heard the secret sound yet.
I haven't heard the secret sound yet, but just real quick.
I just really want to make a shout out to Brooke.
She is the only one here who knows her sound.
And I've just witnessed her do all this work.
Run around, she's been here.
She's 7 a.m. protecting the sound.
And I just, like, she's, you're pretty amazing, Brooke.
I've just met you, but I'm impressed by your work great.
I'm so sleep deprived.
I'm going to cry.
Don't compliment me, Ruby, too.
It will push me over the end.
You're like a flanker if anyone asks.
You have the work rate of a flanker.
I reckon she's buttering you up, so you give her the answer.
Oh, no.
No, typical winger.
Here it is.
This is the secret sound.
Ruby Toey, do you know what this is?
Oh, they're so good, bro.
They're so good because you want to just hear it again and again, but you can't.
That's so many things I've got to pick one.
Okay.
I'm not going to go with this, but the first time I heard it,
I thought it was like an electric fence.
but I'm not, that's not my guess, Brooke.
No, no, but that's the realm you're in.
Yeah, that electric.
That's where my mind went first,
which is always a good place to kind of dive into a little bit.
But then I'm going to go with, it's simply,
it's something turning on and off.
So I'm going to go, it's an oven element turning on and off.
Oh, come in it.
Like the gas ones?
Like a gas element.
Igniting.
Damn it, her face, I really know, it's not it.
Well, Brooke.
You can't tell me.
Can you tell me?
No.
That is not the secret.
But it's so good.
Do you know there has been some guesses where I'm like,
that does kind of sound like that though.
Yeah, yeah.
That sounds like that, doesn't it?
What that noise.
Shut up, what that noise.
Zat M's Bree and Clint podcast.
This is The Tea.
Brooks in with the tea.
There's a story about Jason Mamoa
who's come out and said that he nearly drowned.
Yeah, but it's weird because this has.
It happened all the way back in 2007.
Oh.
So it wasn't recently.
So he was out surfing in Hawaii.
He paddled 13 miles out.
He's with Surf Legend, Larry Hamilton and Dave Kamal.
So they're great surfers.
Jason Mamoa is just like superhuman, so that's all good.
But he got halfway out and then his little attachment, you know, oh no, it's on your ankle.
Yeah.
You've got your string attached to the board.
Boing!
Just snapped.
Jason Mamoa was free from his board and he started...
started slowly sinking down.
Oh, no.
It's like a worst nightmare, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Luckily, being with two surfers,
they eventually noticed that he was not with him anymore.
They turned around.
But this beach in Hawaii is known, like,
it's like our version of Pihar.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No one for sucking people in and just wild.
At the same time, though, he's Aquaman.
This was pre-Aquaman.
Ah.
It's still a little bit awkward, like if Aquaman drowned, though.
It is awkward, yeah.
Also, in 2007, he was on Baywatch.
What?
He was a lifeguard on Baywatch.
It's even worse.
It is even worse.
Would you say it's like Birdman not being able to fly?
Yeah.
It's like Superman dying in a plane crash.
It's like the flash going slow.
You said you've just been watching the new Jason Mamoa Chief of War show.
Good?
Oh, so cool.
Like, I think it's historical because it's kind of a story about war, ancient war and colonisation from the perspective of the
indigenous people.
Awesome, amazing.
But what makes it epic
is there's a whole bunch
of like all blacks in the opening scene.
Like I went to the premiere
and I sat in there like oh yeah
and there were actually a couple
all blacks there, like said hi to them
and sat down, had no idea.
Next minute off it just starts trying to kill
Jason Mamoa.
Yeah.
I was like, in the movie.
Sorry, sorry.
In the movie, in the movie.
Completely pretend.
But it's like epic.
Like it's not just a, like I remember
they were on Shortland Street one year
and the camera just had them on for two seconds.
No, no, no.
This is a full fight scene.
So the All Blacks that are in it
have actually got a decent part in that opening scene.
Especially awful, which is so cute
because he's huge and Musley Bay is actually really quiet.
Okay.
So this is really big.
Like, it's an epic scene.
I don't want to ruin it, but it's so cool.
The show is good?
Like, so good.
And he made a real point of, like, only speaking Hawaiian.
Like, all the characters had to learn Hawaiian.
And it was filmed here in Ontario.
Yeah.
Like, it's epic.
I think they shot a lot of it out at Pihar.
Oh.
He could have nearly drowned again.
They're like, don't go on the water.
please, Jason. We've spent a lot of money on this TV show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's the T.
The ZD.M. Podcast Network.
ZD.M.
Bree and Clint.
With Ruby Toey.
This is like a feel-good story
about someone getting their precious thing
returned to them.
That's nice.
It involves the Blue Bridge Ferry,
the other ferry in the Cook Strait.
They have successfully reunited an Australian family
who were crossing the strait going to Picton
with their monkey that they left on the boat.
And it got back to the, was it the little girls or was it like the dads?
Little boys toy monkey.
Oh, that's cute.
Kevin Bear, who's a four-year-old human, left George the toy monkey on the ship and they got off at Picton.
Anyone with kids, especially kids at that age, knows what a big deal it is if your kid is separated from that one special toy.
Like they can lose any toy except for that one toy.
100% like we're talking could be sleepless nights for everyone in the household.
Yeah.
You know, tantrums again.
You're like, we'll get you another monkey and I don't want.
another monkey I want George
Anyway long story short
They've moved heaven and earth
To get George the monkey back to Kevin
Which is great
They used Facebook and they used all kinds of things
And the Blue Bridge ferries documented the journey
Of George the monkey
Making it back to his family
It's so cool
It's really good
But would they have done that for your air pods
If you'd left them on the ferry?
Can you imagine the amount of air pods
That are secretly down
Like aeroplane chairs
I've rung-A and the people just
in the nicest way, like, there's no way
you're getting there back.
There's no way.
Because you can see them on that map too.
Yeah.
I lost a pair of Samsung earbuds in Perth
and I can see them.
I can see exactly where they are.
But I'm not going back to Perth.
Yeah, hard out.
I don't know when I'm going back to Perth.
I'm never getting those things back.
Yeah, and just when you, that moment,
that poor kid too, like that moment when you remember
that you've forgotten it.
Yes.
Like that's just your heart drops.
Can I out my teammate on live radio?
Is that?
Yeah.
That's all right?
Yeah.
I hope she doesn't mind.
one of the most powerful unreal wingers
in the Black Friends at moment,
Aisha Leti Inga, this is a true story.
We get to Eden Park for the final
of the Rugby World Cup.
Like, you know, get to, like, any rugby game.
The Pinnacle.
The fricking Pinnacle, Eden Park and she is like,
oh, I forgot my boots.
I was like, what do you mean?
Like, just, you know.
You could forget almost anything else
and be okay.
Oh, you know, like these days,
they've got your mouth card for you,
they're hanging your jersey up for it.
Like everything is,
there's just one thing you've got to remember
as a professional rugby player is your boots.
And I think in the end,
one of the front rollers,
because they always bring two pairs of boots.
Yeah.
This ever happens to you,
just go to a front rower.
She ended up having to give her scrumming boots
or something to age.
And were they the same size
or were they close enough?
I think it was one of those close enough.
Close enough.
Like just say a Karakia and run out.
I thought that a team like a professional rugby team
would have like a cupboard full of boots.
for that sort of situation.
There's, like, suit and boots for certain things,
spare clothes, spare mouthguards.
But as a player, like, your boots are like your, you know,
that's like your thing.
Did she tell the coaches or did she just tell us a couple of players
that she trusted and you guys went,
we'll find you some boots?
There was no way we were trying, it was smithy and, like, Ted.
There was no way we play the coaches.
And, like, the other funny thing is that Aish was always on the speaker,
just for outpost the bus.
And you could just see her, like, trying to cue the songs,
like running around.
I was like, oh, she's flustered.
Oh, it was, yeah, so I'm so glad that the monkey got back to the boy
because those moments when you realize, right?
Not all good.
We want to talk to people this afternoon who have got lost and found stories.
The thing that you lost that you thought you were never going to see again,
and then somehow it made it back to you.
There's a lot of people who have this with wedding and engagement rings
where it comes off and you then you do your mere culper
and you go to your partner and you're like, babe, it's gone.
And then somehow, you know those stories you see in the news
where someone pulls our carrot out of the veggie garden
30 years later and it's got the engagement ring
wrapped around the bottom of a carrot, that kind of thing?
Oh, man, that's crazy.
Do you have an incredible lost and found story
for us this afternoon?
0,800 dials at M or you can text it into 9-6-9-6.
So real-life people are going to ring up live, eh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, radio's so cool.
Bo, ring up with some cool stuff.
Go on and press Ruby.
It's ZAM's Bree and Clint podcast.
We're talking about stories
of lost and found when the thing that you lost
you thought I'd never come back to you but by some kind of
divine intervention it came back so beautiful like that's the universe
they are so yeah totally um and there are some good stories coming in
let's talk to Casey first of all hi Casey
hi how are you we're good what was the thing that you lost
and how did you get it back so I actually lost a ring my
dad got me when I was 11 at a friend's farm family friend
and when I was about
16
I got a letter in the mail in Christchurch
and they had found it
What? What? How long was it the time
between losing it and finding it?
A good couple of years, I'd say three years.
Four. How did you know it was your ring? Like was it
engraved? No, it was this
beautiful little parlor ring from a shop
somewhere up north and
I still remember it to the day. I've actually lost it since then
but...
No, see. Now that's all good.
Just wait a couple of years, it'll come back again, you know?
Yeah, I'm hoping so.
It's a power boomerang ring.
It will come back to you.
Wow.
Very good.
Let's talk to Willow.
I know 800 dials at him.
Hi, Willow.
Hi.
What's the thing that you lost?
And did it come back to you?
Yes.
So, a few years back, I lost my lunchbox on a school trip to the rec center in Kilbirney Wellington.
And then two days later, we had school cross-country.
and we had taken a bus
And then we had got out
And then in the middle of the field
I saw something bright purple
And I ran over
And it was my lost lunchbox
Just sitting there
And the cross-country park
And the Rickenter Ward
Like on the other side
How did your lunchbox get from the bus
To the middle of a field?
We still don't know to this day
That's buzzy
And then you're
How did it get there
And then how did you also find it?
So we had just gone to the park
across country and I walked over and saw my lunchbox with all the things they had left
sitting there.
Your lunch was still in there.
Did you eat it?
I ate half of it.
Yeah, you did.
Oh wow, well I.
That's so cold.
Do you still have the lunchbox?
Yes, I do.
Can't lose the magic lunchbox.
Get this story.
I'd given a bag of clothing to our local secondhand shop.
Suddenly, I couldn't find my greenstone that I got on my wedding day.
Weeks later, my mum.
goes to the same secondhand shop
and she's buying some bags
and she buys the bag that I donated
with the greenstone inside it
she recognised it straight away
Oh my goodness
That's buzzy
That's like you don't want to
If you lose a taunga
That's like that's like giving whale rider
When she goes and jumps back in the water
And she has to find it
Yeah yeah yeah
That must be a really important taunga
I never thought I would find my wife
Back in my arms again
But we are reunited
What did you do?
What did you do in the first place?
Did you just send that ticket?
No, that's...
Excuse you.
Paige is here.
Hi, Paige.
Hi.
We're taking life-changing stories of Lost and Found.
What's yours?
So, about four, maybe three years ago.
I lost my wedding ring while renovating our house.
Okay.
It was prior to having our car.
up it down and then I just made an assumption that I'd lost it either under the
carpet or under a bed and then I sold my daughter's nappy bag and about five or six
months later I got a random message on Facebook marketplace and like hey I've just washed
the nappy bag and I've just found a diamond ring in my washer machine oh my god what good
people to let you know that there was a diamond ring in there they didn't need to do that
did they page definitely not I thought I'm going to be honest I thought the story was going to
You made your partner rip up all the new carpet
to find your diamond ring
and then it was in the ashtray the whole time.
Oh my goodness.
Were you like nervous?
Were you super nervous when you lost it?
Did you tell your partner?
Wasn't overly nervous.
Just gagster.
Yeah.
Yolo.
Okay, thanks.
We're talking about stories of lost and found out.
I lost my cat.
He went missing in the 2023 Auckland floods.
Turns out he'd been living at Bunnings up the road.
Someone posted a photo.
of him on Facebook and we went and got him.
Oh my gosh, a bunnings care.
How good.
And this text is what we'll end with.
Someone said, one day I was driving down Mount Smart Road in Auckland when I saw a small child
aged two in the middle of the road.
I swerved to the side to avoid him, jumped out of the car and ran to pick him up.
There were no adults to be seen.
Another woman pulled over in her car and together we walked around and found which
house he had come out of.
In the panic of the moment, I left my keys in the car and
five minutes later came back out to find
someone had jumped in my car and driven
off with it. Stolen car.
I called the cops,
but I didn't hold out much hope.
A few days later, I was driving to the supermarket
in my mum's car that I'd borrowed.
I went down some back streets to avoid
traffic that I don't usually use
and there on the side of the road
was my car. I found my stolen car.
That was so emotional.
That was an emotional roller coaster.
I had no idea where that was going.
like a lost child and then I lost car
and had everything
Are you okay? Who was it?
I need to know how it ends. Did you then steal
your own car back? 100%.
Did the parents get found?
And who was the child?
Yeah, was it by a school?
Full on.
That was intense, man.
A ZM's Breinclin podcast.
Once upon a time
there was a girl. She was smart,
debatable, talented.
Eh, athletic, not really, but picking a movie title based on just the plot line
that she can do.
Bree and Clint's What's the Plot?
That's the intro for Brie, which actually, weirdly, is kind of reversed with you this week, isn't it?
That actually is really impressive.
That makes me rate, very hard.
Athletic, yes.
But guessing a movie based on just the plot line?
Probably not.
I take me out of that one.
It might be, no shade, the most winnable round of what's the plot in a long, long time.
Okay.
Because it's you versus Ruby Toey today, Jess.
Hi-da.
Hi, how are you?
We're good.
How are you going?
A bit nervous to be honest.
No need, Jess.
Absolutely no need.
Have you listened to this game when Brie is in the hot seat before?
Yeah, but it depends on the, like, what calls?
kind of movies it is.
Oh, totally.
So whether I'm getting anything or not.
Totally.
I back you, Jess.
Well, I can give you the theme for this week so you both know what it is.
Okay.
Today, all of our movies are New Zealand movies.
Oh, that's so cool.
Kiwi films, classic Kiwi films.
How does that sit with you, Jess?
We'll give it a go.
Sure.
Give it a go, okay.
So we're clear.
How this works is I read out plot lines.
You guys buzz in with your name, Jess or Ruby,
as soon as you think you know what that movie is
you don't wait for me to finish the plot
you just go for it when you think you'd got it
and the first person to guess
two movies correctly wins the whole game
let's go Jess
shake your hand good game all the best
here we go guys
movie number one
a juvenile delinquent
is sent to live with foster
parents in the New Zealand bush
but after his foster mum's
death he runs away to
avoid being sent back.
Ruby.
Hunt for the wilder people?
Hunt for the wilder people.
It's correct.
Ricky Baker, not Ricky, but that was a jam.
Sorry, Jess, I got so excited.
I could see it, but I just couldn't think of it.
Yeah, I was watching Ruby do the same thing.
It was right there on the tip of her tongue.
Oh my gosh.
It's okay, Jess.
You got this one, okay?
Come through, Jess, come on.
Movie number two in What's the Plot?
An 11-year-old lives on a farm with his younger brother, their grand and a goat.
Shortly after Grand leaves for a week, his father appears out of the blue.
Having imagined a heroic version of his...
Boy, I mean, Ruby.
Ruby.
Boy!
Boy!
Ah!
Sorry, Jess, bro.
That movie is iconic.
I can see that one as well
Yeah
Jackson
It's all right
I was looking at Ruby Toey
standing about four metres
away from her microphone
And I was like
How are you going to buzz in
From the other side of the room
She was pacing Jess
I'm not used to the mics
We can't give you the 650
But we can give you 50 KFC chicken dollars
As a consolation prize Jess
Sorry Jess
Okay thank you, that's all good
I hope you like some protein chicken
Who doesn't
Thank you for joining us
I really appreciate it
There you go.
You had, while you've obviously disappointed Jess,
you have avoided the wrath of Brie.
Yes.
Because if you had given that away,
we would start back at $50 next week.
And she would, you can't hide that.
No, she would know.
No, Bree spent 13 weeks building up that jackpot so far.
So she'll be happy.
Yes, they were good movies.
Play Z-N's Bree and Clint.
We were having a chat before you got here, Ruby, today with our producer Ella.
who is newly married, recently married.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Did you guys live together before you got married?
Yeah, at mom's house.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Save some money.
That's a hack.
Now you've got your own spot, kind of.
Yeah, it counts living in my friend's basement.
And you're doing that thing.
Even relationship does it, but particularly when you just get married,
you're furnishing your space, right?
You're setting up your home together.
We're buying some furniture.
You're not happy about the item of furniture.
that your new husband wants to bring into their house, are you?
Not really.
I was explaining to the team today
that Ryan is going to start working from home full time.
First of all, couldn't do that.
Second of all, he...
There's a lot of people's dream is doing from home.
I know, it is.
And respect.
People who don't have kids.
Yeah, I mentioned that.
Yeah, not good.
Yeah.
Not good.
But obviously, if he's working from home,
he needs a comfortable seat.
So now he's looking at comfortable chairs.
which, coincidentally, would also be great for his gaming.
So he's looking at gaming chairs.
And I was just explaining to everyone today how ugly gaming chairs are.
And the ones he's looking at a red, black, like red and black, like big bright colors.
And it will be, we look at the TV and in the corner of my eye will be that ugly chair.
I'm not having it.
So I'm trying to really not encourage him to get those chairs.
Cheers.
I got a foot in both camps.
First, you congratulate you.
Like, so cool.
You're married and go your own place.
Like, that's goals.
That's sweet.
Thank you.
But those gaming chairs just dominate a room.
They just completely change the feng shui.
That's exactly my thinking, yeah.
But also, I'd probably get one with a big, like, Black Spoon's logo on the back.
Oh, okay.
They serve a purpose, right?
I'm sure they're real good for gaming in.
But if you're in a small space...
Yeah.
And you guys watch TV on your bed and next to the TV is the gaming chair.
Yeah.
That's hideous.
It's just not, I imagine it's not, I've got nothing against gamers or gaming.
No, if it was in another room.
But I just admit, I assume it's not the, it's not the aesthetic you imagined for your first home together, is it?
Yeah, that's it's all about the, I can't say it, aesthetic.
Do you know what?
I think this is giving, it's giving game plan.
He's going to buy the most outrageous tier, so then he has to have a gaming room.
Yeah, right.
Oh, that's evil genius.
You know, he's just slowly planting the seed.
Oh, babe.
just one thing.
Are you willing to put your foot down over the gaming chair?
Yeah, we've discussed it.
So then I start helping him, which he regrets asking for my help,
because then I'm like showing him nice chairs that look good,
but maybe sitting on them wouldn't be the most comfortable thing.
So we need like a nice medium.
Oh no, it's got to be comfortable.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah.
But like, cute, please.
I need it to be cute.
It's kind of giving like at the, in my team,
like you get a catalogue from the Adidas and you pick all your casual clothes.
So like you're but like can you imagine like some people like very different people in a 15s team like front rollers to like outside back so like you can imagine some people are like yeah that one and then the front row is like mate if you pick that I'm going to probably break your finger like you know it's it gets real it's really competitive so what we do is you have to pick styles from like you know everybody's so it's like some items you will love and there's a couple you're like eh that was obviously for the front rowers so like would you compromise yeah would you kind of compromise
I might maybe get a couple of chairs.
Is there something that you really want that he doesn't want
where you can go, okay, you can have your ugly A-F gaming chair
if I can have...
My big fat rocking chair.
Oh yeah, Ella wants a rocking chair.
Ella wants a rocking chair.
That sounds fair.
What's your husband's name?
Ryan.
That sounds fair if Ryan gives you a rocking chair.
You two have gone to the two most opposite, but also ugliest chairs on the chair spectrum.
What are you talking about?
It's quite cozy.
We want to talk to people with this afternoon about the ugly item that your partner
I wanted to bring into the house.
It could have been anything.
It could have been an item of furniture, an item of clothing.
It could have been a type of car.
But you, whether you put your foot down or not, you were like,
I cannot bear the idea of this thing being in my house.
For me, it was my mink blanket.
My wife said no to, when we first started sharing a bed full-time.
She said no to my mink blanket.
Can you explain what a mink is?
And what does it look like?
It's just a black mink blanket.
Like?
Oh, that's not too well.
That's right.
Yeah, I thought so.
I think I'm going to say like bright red or bright pink.
No, it hasn't got like a tiger on it or something like that.
Oh, $100 at him or text 9669696.
When the ugly item you or your partner didn't want in the house.
ZDM's Bree and Clint podcast.
ZM's Bree and Clint with guest host Ruby Toey.
We're just having a very relatable conversation with our producer Ella,
whose new husband wants to get a gaming chair in their very small first home together.
So funny.
So funny.
But also not.
Yeah, yeah, we're on Alice side, right?
On Alice side.
Some people are texting in Ella and they said,
can't you just throw a blanket over it each night
so you don't have to look at the gaming chair?
Or can you just roll it out of the room at the end of the day?
Someone else said, think about the ergonomics.
It'll be wonderful for his overall health if he gets a gaming chair.
Oh, that's a breather.
That's a gamer.
Yeah.
So we want to know what's the item, the ugly item that your partner tried to bring into the house.
Matt's here. Hey, Matt.
Hello.
Hi, Matt.
What was it?
My partner really, really wanted to get purple velvet curtains.
Oh.
And I was like absolutely not.
That is not happening whatsoever.
It's giving grimace, Matt.
100%.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not against the color of purple, but I can't do purple velvet curtains.
Did you know you were in a relationship with someone with such bad.
taste?
I mean, I've got it, like, yes and no, but it mainly stems from her parents, and it's kind
of just that growing up in the up of, like, 1980, not the shots fired at the in-laws as well, Matt.
Did I tell you feel, Matt?
You're living dangerously.
Thanks, Matt.
It's curtains for Matt.
Someone said, we asked, what's the ugly thing that you didn't want in your house?
We just moved into our beautiful, grown-up new home.
driving simulator right in the lounge.
Bro, that's the only thing worse in a driving simulator
would be a golf simulator right in the centre of your lounge.
Yes, you're so right.
I ended up with a gun safe in the corner of our lounge.
It was apparently the only place that it could go.
It's a monstrosity.
That's giving purge, bro.
A gun safe in the lounge.
Put in the garage.
Anywhere else?
We asked, what's the ugly thing that you didn't want in your house?
Someone said all of his linen.
Gorn
Is it purple and velvet,
Linden?
Someone else said
Any Warriors merch?
Up there was.
Sorry, Rhys.
We've compromised
after six years together
and he has a little
Warriors sign in the lounge.
Hopefully it's of Michaela Blyde.
Oh yeah.
Let the man have like a
Warrior's mug to drink out of.
100%.
And he brings out on game day.
In the car like the air freshener.
Oh, Warriors air freshener?
You know, just move to the car.
That's how starts though.
You start feeding the little.
things in and before you know it you're back to a
warrior's duvet spread. And then you're at the game.
What's the ugly thing that you didn't want
your partner to bring into the house? Someone said
I wasn't allowed to put my Ford duvet
cover on our bed when we moved in together.
It was a bit Ford.
It was a bit Ford of them, yeah. Oh, you don't
know, maybe you married a Holden driver.
100% or they work at Toyota like.
Yeah, you don't know. Yeah.
My husband
put his Keggerator in our lounge.
Those are those machines that
brew. Is it a, do they
make beer in the keg or do they tap a keg of beer and then you've got like keg beer in

Inclient.
Ruby Toey, who's currently fan-girling out.
Oh, this is so cool.
You're my first, like, love guest.
So I'm, like, so excited.
Over the weekend, Cassie Henderson debuted and absolutely destroyed the Voice Australia.
And she joins us in studio.
Now, Kura, Cassie.
Oh, how we going?
What a ride.
What a ride.
What a ride.
It's been bad.
It's been crazy.
These clips are all over social media at the moment, which I'm glad for, because we can't actually
watch the voice here in New Zealand yet,
but you're keeping us updated through your
Instagram account. Yes, yeah, I am
bombarding people with imagery
of me at the moment, but yeah, I am.
Sadly, it isn't available here for
maybe like a month or so.
Oh, okay, but we are going to get it?
Yeah, it will be on TV and Zense.
Ruby, have you heard this audition?
I've heard like a little clip of it,
and I'm like losing it, like,
Ron and Keating, the things he's saying about you,
like, and I'm so glad you're here
because it's really important that, you know,
New Zealand entertainers get on the world stage,
and you are just doing that for New Zealand.
So thank you so much, Roeb.
It's so cool.
Thank you, dude.
No, it's honestly like, yeah, well,
my dad used to have a Ronan Keating City in his truck.
So, like, it was mad sitting there,
just having his eyes on me even.
It was just freaky.
So, and I was so cool.
Cassie, if you missed it, did a Chapel Roan song
as part of your audition.
Sounded like this.
What you could hear there is the iconic,
You got four chairs, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
He was mad. He was so mad.
He's a little bit of the judges,
including Ronan Keating, waxing lyrical, about Kessie.
I've done the voice all around the world,
and we get big international artists to come and perform.
And it felt like you were already established as an artist,
and you were coming to perform your new single here on the voice.
That's what that felt like.
You know what? You are born to do this.
You just own that stage.
no natural to you.
That's a spice girl.
That was Mousier.
Yeah.
That's out the gate.
Oh, I mean, she is just the coolest person I think I've ever met in my life.
And she's so chill.
Yeah.
So calm and so chill.
And then she's sporty spice and she's giving me a hug.
Right.
And she's giving my dad a fist bump.
And I was like, what is going on?
Let's address the elephant in the room here.
It's the line from Ronan where he says you have the aura of an already established artist.
and to us here in New Zealand
you are an established artist
you've got three or four songs that are already on ZM
you're playing festivals here
so let me put it to you straight Cassie Henderson
Are you an industry plant
Oh I love this question
I've always wanted to be an industry plant
No sadly I'm not
I have been working so hard for the past five years
I think people think
I'm too established to do something like this
because there's a misconception
that I have like a big label deal
and this big team behind me
but the reality is
I'm living with my parents
in like a dungeon
doing all of this
mostly myself
so I think like you said
Ruby like it's really important
for us to get out
onto the international stage
and I really just wanted to try
and challenge myself
and see if I could rise up to that
and try and make Kiwi's proud
so
round of a pause for you
yeah you pass the test there
well done
yeah yeah yeah yeah and I got asked
it was really stressful
does did sporty spice like in her training because is that your mentor yes yeah that is
does she make you do push-ups like does she take you for runs any sport involved like what she
like I really hope she does because she's gonna get you in a pair of tearaways as well for one of your
performances all addie-dass it'd be sick um no she's like I was like my god you are shredded
girl oh it's for real she's ripped she's ripped well she's sporty spice you know she's so ripped but
Yeah, I was like, drop the workout routine, please, sis.
Has she FaceTimed any of the other Spice Girls in your presence yet?
No.
They haven't, like, called through.
There hasn't been like baby flash up on the screen on her phone or anything?
Oh, imagine.
No, it is just wild because she's, you know,
she's one of the biggest superstars in the world and, like, it's just so chill.
Why do you, it might be an obvious one, but why did you choose her over Ronan?
I think for me, the really cool thing about Mel is her, like, work ethic.
I feel like she's so
Her big thing is just like
consistency, hard work
even if you are doing well
if you keep doing that
you're going to have a long, happy career
and that's just quite inspiring for me
So it sounds like a bit of you as well
Like it sounds like this ain't no fluke
This ain't no luck
This is just your hard work consistency
True Kiwi spirit
Absolutely love it
And also probably too
She actually like the Spice Girls
How they were put together
Was a bit of a show right
Like it was a bit of an audition
Come through
so she's probably got experience of exactly where you're sitting.
Is any inside advice she's given you?
Like, Ronan, take him out, mate.
No, yeah, like that was another thing.
Like, obviously she started really young in the industry
and I had my start when I was 14
and I like had to deal with what that meant.
But she was really nice about the whole thing
and she's like, look, you're just,
you're going to get commentary on you
and you know this already from when you were younger.
but that's just part of being in the industry, the good and the bad.
That's so exciting.
Last question for you, Cassie Henderson.
You're on the Australian voice.
If any of them refer to you as an up-and-coming Australian artist,
will you be correcting them?
Oh, 100%.
That's the right answer.
So good.
Oh, we're so excited to see how this goes.
Yeah, man.
If you want to keep up to date before we can see it on Kiwi screens,
you should go and follow Cassie on her Instagram account
because she's posting the clips as we go through it.
Come on over.
So cool.
Very cool.
Best of luck.
We're all rooting for you, Cassie.
Thanks, guys.
Z-Eames, Brian Clint.
We are about to head into another
Rugby World Cup cycle.
The girls are on the plane right now
heading to England for the 2025
Rugby World Cup.
Ruby Toey is going over there soon.
She's not in the squad this year,
unfortunately, but you're going to be there
covering it for us, which is amazing.
And I thought you could talk us through a bit
about what this World Cup means,
not just for the girls, but for everybody else.
Yeah, look, the girls are currently
on their Dubai to
England leg. They've just finished
the stop in Dubai.
So they won't get to hear this, but
it's actually a huge
moment in
women's rugby, but also in this country.
Like that's genuinely what I believe.
I'm super excited to go over there and still be able to
grow the game, but just
like I wanted to say to everybody
who's listening, you have
led the world in a pretty
impactful way, which is
woman's rugby, just by the support
you gave that last World Cup. Like, it was
life-changing is one word,
but I think it was generational changing.
And since that World Cup,
no longer do we just have a couple of little
girls who are fans. It's little girls, little
boys, older girls, older girls, like
it's just broken down
so many boundaries for this country.
And so the next
World Cup, like guys,
the Allian Stadium, which used to be Twickenham
Stadium, is, like I've played there a couple
of times. It's like one of the pinnacle
places to play as a rugby player.
Rugby is our national sport.
So if you're going to change the world, that's where you're going to do it.
The games, the final has already sold out.
It's already going to break a world record.
Like it's women's sports globally.
It's not will it blow up.
It is blowing up.
And, you know, I think it's a really important time for New Zealand to stand up and go,
I'm going to watch these games.
I'm going to like these.
I'm going to like and follow these pages.
Yeah.
And I'm going to speak up in everyday conversations.
about how important our sport is for this World Cup.
You're right about it being a generational change.
It's been in the last five or six years you've seen,
because the Black Ferns have always been there.
They've always been world champs or thereabout and grinding away.
But in the last five or six years,
you've seen that sport go from being a curtain razor game
to being the main event, to selling out Eden Park
and to now selling out something like Twickenham,
which I don't know the number off the top of my head,
but I think it's close to an 80,000.
Yeah, is it?
can't hear when they're, and the way it's designed, it's like an acoustic, like it's just,
it's a lot bigger than Eden Park.
Yeah.
And you guys did that, like you guys did that by humanising the game and by giving people,
not just, you're right, not just little girls, you are my little girls' heroes,
but everybody got to watch that team and go, oh my God, these are Kiwis on the world stage
dominating, and then you went on and won the damn thing as well.
So the foundation is there, but my God, the pressure on these girls to do it again, right?
Absolutely, and like, you know, just to, like, contextualise it,
it was, I won't call them out who did it,
but somebody posted online, you know,
the Springboks could be the first team to win three World Cups in a row.
Black fans have already won four.
Yeah.
Like, there's so many facts that I think as a country we can be so proud about internationally.
Like, you know, you want to stand up for something,
the team is right here.
We're right here to be stood up with.
There's that amazing clip of, is it Brian Hibana,
where they ask him who the leading,
Rugby World Cup tri-scorer of all-timers, and he goes, Portia Woodman.
And everyone goes, oh, shit, of course.
And I feel like that conversation has changed.
And I don't know if people are as jeed up for this World Cup as they are going to be yet,
or if they've quite realised.
But in 10 days' time, the Black Ferns kick off their campaign,
they're playing against Spain, and then we're into it.
Absolutely into it.
And why is the World Cup so important for Warms Rugby?
So many World Cup, 2010, even though 6 was debatable,
England is always number one.
We're not even number two.
We're like a close number third.
Why is that?
Why is England so dominant?
They, just their winning rate has been so impeccable.
I mean, you know, there is the factual evidence of they went pro a long time before anybody else to.
If you, like, if I'm honest, I'm only probably can say this because I'm not in the squad
because I'd be too competitive to admit it.
But they probably do lead the women's rugby world and their resources and everything.
But it doesn't mean they are going to win this World Cup.
Last World Cup, it was the same.
We weren't ranked number one.
but World Cups are different.
We know this.
Like, if you've ever watched
North Blacks at a World Cup,
it's not easy and it's never the same.
No.
So I just, when I say,
I think the New Zealand support,
the support of Altero is what is going to get the girls across the line.
Like, I so mean it.
How do, how, so you've been there,
you've played for New Zealand,
outside of New Zealand,
how does the support of people back home get to the players?
Like, what can you do from here
that is going to make an impactful difference
on the Black Ferns at this World Cup?
Hunt, that's such a great question.
Look, if there's any, if you notice any particular company, business or group,
prioritising Black Ferns coverage, you know, supporting messages,
the players feel it.
Like we do see it, especially online.
If you can get your whatever groups you're in, get together, send a video,
tag the Black Ferns, watch the shows that are put in place.
Like, I am working for the BBC over there.
So, like, if you see anything that's relatable, share it.
All coverage is going to be great
Like I'm literally going to work
Eight days a week over there
To make sure that people realize
How amazing the black friends are
Because I'm so excited for this opportunity
But I'm not only black friend in the media group
Everybody else is England
Or you know like it's
I'm in a room full of people
That aren't going to be going for the black friends
You have to shout the loudest
So I need Altaire to shout with me
You know like this is this is a moment man
Oh my God I'm so excited
You just got me completely hyped for this thing
So it kicks off
very soon. The opening match is between
England and Alona Mars
USA team. That's going to be
explosive and then we're into Black Ferns
and we've got our
girl on the ground Ruby Toey to give us
the plug here on ZEM. Absolutely
like if you want a message in ZEM at any time
tell Ruby to ask anything
the team, I can do that and set your
alarms guys. Set your alarms. I love
you so much. Up the Black Fern
very good. Thank you Ruby Toey.
We've got an extra space available in birthday banger.
Someone's just dropped off.
If you would like it, you can call through now on 0800 dial ZM.
The ZM Podcast Network.

Bree and Clint with Ruby Toey.
Apologies to anybody who had that song up really loud and then got a really big fright
when I came in in the middle of it.
Someone texted and said, I'm not going to lie, Clint.
You scared the absolute shit out of me
when you interrupted Sabrina just then.
Unintentional, my bad, everybody.
But this is birthday banger, Ruby,
where we find out the number one song
on people's 16th birthdays.
Oh my God, we should have done your birthday banger.
This is cool. This is cool.
I like this.
We should have figured out what it was for you.
Let's start with Jude first.
Hey, Jude.
Hi.
How's your day been?
Pretty good, thank you.
Very good.
What's your day to birth, Jude?
We'll work out your birthday banger.
This is May 74.
Okay, Jude, you were 16 on the 5th of May 1990.
And on that day, this was number one.
Madonna and Vogue, you've got to be happy with that, Jude.
Wow, can't go wrong with Madonna and Vogue.
I'll say.
What a banger.
Okay, wait there.
Jordy's going to do a birthday banger.
Hi, Jordy.
Hi, how's it going?
We're doing well.
Ruby Tui is going to have a go doing your birthday banger.
Do you want to give this a go?
Okay, so when...
Okay, I'm going to try my best, okay, bear with me.
When was your birthday?
And then I've got to try and do this time machine thing.
So what date were you...
Was your date of birth, sorry?
12 of October 1990.
Oh, that's a cool birthday.
That's a cool birthday.
You were 16.
16 in 2006.
Thank you, Clint.
And your number one hit was...
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Is that a bit of you, Jimmy?
Not really.
You were bringing sexy back.
You didn't even know it.
You were not bringing sexy back, were you, Jordie?
No, I'm 16.
I dance for you.
You can't win them all.
Let's do one more for Martain.
Kura, Martane.
Hey, how's it going?
We're good.
We're good.
How's your day been?
Yeah, good, thank you.
I'm going to hand the controls back to Ruby Toe
to do this last birthday banger.
Okay, it's all up to you guys.
Okay, Martin, what is your date of birth?
25-094.
Okay, one moment.
I'm a machine.
That means you were 16 in 2010.
Good year.
And your number one hit was
Hey
Go to Katie Perry

My daughter would be proud
Don't pretend you're not into it as well Martang
Not as much as it
We know you're a California girl
Okay wait there
I'm going to give you complete control today
You need to choose which one of those three songs is the winner
And for that winning it gets played out on ZM
Which one?
Oh my goodness, is this what happens?
This is cool.
That's how it works.
Okay.
Jude, I love you, but I'm probably not going to pick Madonna.
You know what?
For the girls, Martane.
Shout out your daughter, teenage dream, Katie Perry.
Martang, congratulations.
What's your daughter's name?
Elle.
Elle.
You and Elle have won birthday banger today.

From the year 2010, here's your birthday banger on ZM.
I think I'm pretty
Without any makeup on
It's ZAM's Brie and Clint Podcast
Ruby is going to shoot very shortly
She's got to get to Counties Monaco training
Up the heat
God, you're a hustler
This is all over the place
Radio, counties, off to England
to do the Rugby World Cup
Before you go, I thought I'd give you
your choice of challenges
We have two challenges on this show
One is the Dochi Challenge
We've got to figure out
Whether it's the Dochey version
Or the Kimbra version of the song
Of, you know, you know
You got to say
You've got to tell me which one's going to come in, whether it's Dochi or Kimbra.
Or you can do the Modjo Challenge, which we haven't done for a long time.
And correctly guess when the lady is going to come in.
Like, do you have to say, ladies?
Yeah.
That'll be fun.
You want to do that one?
That would be fun.
Okay, Ruby Toey, before you leave, please give us your best attempt at nailing the lady in the modjo challenge.
It must be a while.
I can't help you.
Feels like a setup because I was about to literally say lady.
Oh, that's a long intro, bro.
Is it there?
That.
Oh, damn it!
Oh, damn it!
She had too cocky.
I should have to go with my gut.
Do you want to do the don't she one before you go?
I've got time to do both.
Okay, so obviously the don't she one comes in with anxiety.
You've got to say it.
Yeah, and the Kimbra one comes in with,
now and then I think of
You know, yeah?
Yeah?
Which one is it going to be?
See if you can nail it
in the Dochi Challenge.
Ruby Toey.
Not yet.
This one.
Damn it.
Keep on trying me.
No.
I feel it quietly.
Not the two from two fails
No, Bree's never got it right either
That's hard
That's harder than the movie thing
Don't let that
Don't let that
Colour what has been an otherwise
Very successful show
We've had great fun with you this afternoon
That's a little bit of a chip on the old shoulder
It makes me want to come back
And like just verse free live or something
Yeah you've got to have something to build up to right
Well Ruby Tui
Best of luck over in England for the Rugby World Cup
We're looking forward to your coverage
Thank you so much Clint
Thank you, Bree, and thank you to all the listeners.
You guys have been fun.

Who did a great job?
I reckon she's got a bright future that girl.
She's going places.
Yeah, that Ruby Toey, she's got something.
Untapped potential.

I think we might of.
Tell Simon Cowell.
Yeah, tell Simon Cowell.
He'll put her in a boy band.
And Bree's back on Monday, so still no Bree tomorrow.
But what you will be excited about is no Friday Oaky tomorrow.
Oh, that's my favorite segment.
If Ruby was filling it on the Friday, I reckon we would have done Ruby Oaky.
Damn it.
She would have made us do some R&B song.
We'll have to have it back and we'll have to arrange it for a Friday.
Yeah.
Or a whole week.
