Try to keep up. ZM's all-woman breakfast show with Marvel Studios' new movie, Captain Marvel. Hello, good morning and welcome to the show. It is our all-women's show on ZM thanks to Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel because it is International Women's Day. I can't believe it. Hello girls, how are we? This is a bit special actually now we're here. Yeah, look out. We've been? This is a bit special, actually, now we're here. Yeah, look out. We've been teasing it for a long time. Only girls in here right now.

No, wait, let's check. Have we all got some boobies? Yep. Yep, even the producers. Should we do a wee? Okay, so around the room. So it's Megan, Bree and Belle. George is here.

She's pushing the buttons on the desk. Very talented. She's on our night show. Producers in the booth. Ellie, Caitlin, Anya, Dani is here and every all the like fancy things you hear on here, all made by Bryony. She's in the background doing

her thing. All females that are bringing you this show today, so it's pretty special. How cool is it that we're playing you know, all female artists today? Yeah. I mean, that's pretty exciting. We're kicking it off with Leona Lewis, Bleeding Love then we're going to go. I'm joking, I'm joking.

Coming up today, before seven o'clock, actually, we've got New Zealand's first transgender model, Manho Makai. She's joining us. Yeah, that's exciting. Also, I mean, you know, she's a little bit of a big deal. Not really. You might have heard of her, Jacinda Ardern. I mean, she runs the country.

She's on the show just before 7.30. And we also have an interview with Captain Marvel, Brie Larson, so that's very exciting. That is out today as well just by the way. I know. Just want to put it out there that while it's all women bringing you the show, it is about

celebration of International Women's Day, so it's for everyone. Guys can call. It's not going to be only female callers. No way. We want you to call. Anyone is welcome.

Anytime. You can text us on 9696 or you can call through on 0800-DALS-AT-M. So like Bree said, only females today playing on the station. We'll kick it off

with Ariana Grande. It's seven rings. I mean, who else will be kicking off with? Marvel Studios Captain Marvel presents the ZM All-Women Breakfast Show. Hey guys, it's Halsey, and you're listening to my girls,

Megan, Belle, and Brie on ZM for International Women's Day. It is Megan, Brie, and Belle here. It's our All-Women Show on ZM. And I have found exactly what your emoji, your top emoji says about you. I need to know because... We're talking about the big piece.

How good are emojis though? Like, honestly, and it's so exciting when you get to use one that's like really relevant. You're like, oh my God, there's actually an emoji for that. I love it. It's not good when your mum sends you the eggplant though. Oh no. My mum the other day, she goes,

oh, I'm making an eggplant lasagna, and she'll send the eggplant emoji. It's kind of cute, though, but she doesn't know. I'm like, mum, that doesn't mean what you think it does. And she goes, what does it mean? And then I had to explain to her it was a bad conversation. She's probably the only person that actually uses it legitimately. Probably no one else is.

So there's a few emojis. There's not a description for every single emoji because we'd be here forever. But there's a few emojis here that if it is your top, you know, your most popular emoji that you use,

what it says about your personality. So does anyone have the, so it's two hands together. Have we figured out if that's a high five or if that's a praying? I think it means both things. Like some people think it's praying. Some people if that's a high five or if that's a praying? I think it means both things. Some people think it's praying, some people think

it's a high five. You know what I mean? No one really knows. So, is that anyone's top emoji? No. Negative. Apparently that means you're quite spiritual and you are in tune with yourself and your emotions. You're a bit of a yogi, so maybe it is the

praying hands. I'm not sure. I do love to do the downward dog, so it could be me. Oh, that's not at yoga, though. I'm kidding. Not joking. The heart eyes emoji. Yes, that's one of my top ones.

Yeah, that's in my top. You see the world through rose-coloured glasses and you think everything is serendipity. I don't know what that means. It means everything happens for a reason. Yeah, I believe that. Okay. And your soulmate's waiting just around the corner.

Yeah, it means like, no. Your sickly sweet and your favourite Disney movie, Cinderella. No, that's not mine. Mine's... I did like that one. I don't know. Beauty and the Beast. Oh, I do love that film.

Yeah. The poop emoji? No, I can't say. Who's that one? You know me, Megan. It's definitely in my top. So these people are over-sharers? This is totally brief.

What do you mean? You're an over-sharer. You bet big money. You live life large. And you feel like everyone needs to know all of your business. Hey, if living life large is eating grated cheese for dinner last night out of the bag, then that's me. Why is grated cheese better than just slicing it?

Why is grated cheese out of a bag, not actual dinner? Does it lead up to pheromone or something? What's going on, you know? Is there something in there? The person who uses the sunglasses text, the sunglasses, that is a favourite of mine. It's on the top. I love that one.

You're completely un-egetic. Not un-egetic, un. Oh, yeah. The sunglasses. That is a favourite of mine. I love that one. You're completely un-a-getic. Not un-a-getic. Un-apologetic. You're out there living your best life. Thanks. Making it cool. Whether you actually are or not, you just believe that you're the coolest person out there.

The nail. No one's got that, has there, Tom? One getting your nails painted. I use that quite a bit. Oh, sorry. When I'm talking about girly shit, you know. Stop talking for Belle, Megan. She uses that one all the time.

It's in my tops. Okay. So you take care of yourself. Take care of yourself, excuse me. You value yourself. You love yourself. That's a good thing. Yeah.

Be careful you don't want to end up loving yourself too much. All right then. Back to hating myself then. The fire emoji. I use that quite a lot as well. I use that too. This is good. It says that you're a very supportive Instagram friend.

Oh, you're true. That's the most time you use it. You're like, fire girl. Yeah. What does it mean when you use the finger pointing into the other finger? The circle finger? Yeah. What does that mean?

Wow. Because they're both in my top. Oh, no. That and poo and. Gee. Okay. I mean, I think I need to cool it on the D. I am on Tinder a lot, though, so that's fair.

It's probably worse, isn't it? Oh, no. No, don't do that. And lastly, the cry laughing one. This is my number one. Yeah. Yeah. Laughing cries feel everything in a big way. To these people

every joke is the best yet and every video deserves applause. You live life large and everything is hilarious. Do you guys ever when you feel like not using emojis just send like a real bad selfie of you doing the emoji face? No.

I've tried but they're not always as good you know? Yeah. Nana, don't do that. Can't say her hair. No, just me. How do you do the vomit one? Like that.

I mean, very visual for radio. Yeah. Only you, Brie. Yeah, mate. Sorry. Next, we want to talk about cousins.

Interesting relationships between cousins. There is a story, and funnnily enough we all have our own stories. Funnily enough. New Zealand, eh? Yeah. ZM's all-woman breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel. You're on ZM with Megan, Bree and Belle. It's Halsey without me.

It is our International Women's Day show today thanks to Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel. And don't worry, Fletch, Vaughn and Megan, they're back on Monday. They're coming back. They're just getting a long weekend. They're having a holiday. I saw Fletch.

He's so good. He's just gone to the Able Taz. And I'm like, gee, he was fast. He's just off. Knowing Fletch, I thought he'd be in Europe by now. Yeah, like Brazil or something. Yeah. Hey, there's a story that's come out,

which I thought we'd chat about. Yeah, definitely a little bit interesting. So these cousins over in Utah, they have started a petition to get married. They're together. They're first cousins. Their parents are like brother and sister. Wait, so that's fine because you got your cousins and then you got your first cousins. That was a mean girl reference, guys.

Come on. Come on. Didn't quite pick up. No, so yeah, they've said they've been in love with each other for their whole lives, basically. Well, they say your cousins are your first best friends. Well, yeah. I can't think of a cousin that I want to hook up with.

I can't think of one. And I've got a few. So is that, I don't know what the laws are in America around that. Yeah, so they're starting a petition because they're not allowed to get married. Like, it's not legal for them to get married. It's probably for the best. Yeah, it must be

first cousins, you can't get married in America. Well, in New Zealand, there's no law. No, it's actually like, and the reason I know this is because I actually have,

I feel a bit bad talking about this, but I actually have first cousins. Well, it's factual. They did it. You didn't do it. They've been together

for like six years, maybe more. She might have been involved. You don't know. No, no. actually have first cousins. Well, it's factual. They did it. You didn't do it. They've been together for like six years, maybe more. She might have been involved. You don't know. No, no. It's not me. It's not me. Promise. No, they are. And it was like a secret for a really long time because they were like flatmates with another cousin of ours. We're a really close family, obviously.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. So wait. So is this your... My first cousins. We're a really close family. There's heaps of us. Obviously. Yeah, well on, hold on. So wait. So is this your... My first cousins. We're a really close family. There's heaps of us. Obviously. Yeah, well, like I said. No, but they have been together for like six plus years.

They actually bought a house together. See, usually I'm all for like love in any form. Like, get it. If you can get it, get it. But, you know, within certain boundaries. Yeah, it was a tough one. That would be one of them. Once we all found out about it,

it was a tough one for everyone to get their head around. But like, I was just feeling for them more. I was like, it's a tough one. That would be one of them. Once we all found out about it, it was a tough one for everyone to get their head around. But, like, I was just feeling for them more. I was like, like, it's a hard one to get your head around. Yeah. You know, like, you probably feel really uncomfortable about it yourself. Like, oh, you can't help. I mean, family Christmas would be easy.

You go, well, will we go to your family or will we go to mine? Wait, we're just the same fam. Yeah. Just the same fam, right? I got kicked out of a flat once because one of the guys in there wanted his girlfriend to move in, but his girlfriend was his cousin. And I was like, oh.

First cousin? Yeah. But they didn't know each other. To be fair, they hadn't met each other before until a wedding. But I was like, that would have been the moment where I'm like, no, not okay. But they still were sweet with it. Yeah, then when you find that out, you make a decision from there. Well, maybe you just can't help who you fall in love with.

Yeah. You know, it's a sad thing if you fall in love with your cousin. You're like, too late. Oh, well, what are we going to do now? I'm just going to live a lie. When I was in high school, real weird situation. It was in grade 10. These two people in our grade started dating,

and I was from a small country town. Their last name was an unusual last name. And we all kind of went, are you guys cousins? You belittled? Are you guys cousins? And they were like, no, no, no, we're not cousins. We're not cousins.

And we're like, it's a really unusual last name. Anyway, two weeks later, they found out they were cousins. Oh, so that's the thing. Like, at least if you knew going into it, your cousins, you'd know. But that's horrible. Like, not knowing and then you're like into it, your cousins, you'd know. But that's horrible. Like, not knowing and then you're like, blah, blah, blah. You know?

C's, I've kissed my cousin. Got intimate with my cousin. You're like, oh, I hate your uncle because that's my dad. He's my least favourite. He's my least favourite of the uncles. Coming up, we want to talk about a guy. He's done a calculation how many tampons women should use. Right. Good on him

for delving into this space, but as you can imagine... Wouldn't have said delve. Going into. No, wouldn't have said that. Go on, you have a turn, Belle. You have a turn. I'm good. I'm just going to leave it. Talk about this coming up. Higher. Further. Faster.

ZDM's all-woman breakfast show. ZM's All Women Breakfast Show. Thanks to Marvel Studios. Captain Marvel. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show. If you've just joined us, it's our All Women's Breakfast Show with Megan, Brie and Belle. All thanks to Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel, which is in cinemas now. It's the story of Carol Danvers, who becomes the universe's most powerful superhero.

And she's also a female. Captain Marvel. I saw so many of my friends tag themselves on Facebook last night seeing this film. Oh, it's so good. I want to see it again. It was so good. It's a must see before Avengers Endgame. Yeah, so you've got to see this one before you see Avengers Endgame, which is coming out pretty soon.

In April, yeah. So next I want to talk about a man who has, I can't, Brie told me I can't say delved into. It's a hard one to talk about this one, like knowing the right thing to say into it. Take your words carefully. He has worked out how many tampons There you go.

females need to use per period. And obviously the internet was not happy about it. We'll talk about this next. ZM's all-woman breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel. That is our all-woman's breakfast show on ZM this morning. Thanks to Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel, we're celebrating International Women's Day.

And nothing pleases women more than when guys delve into conversation about menstruation. That time of the month. I mean, you know, the crimson wave. Oh, gosh. When you're riding the crimson wave. I've, you know, the crimson wave. Oh, gosh. When you're riding the crimson wave. I've got to say,

credit to a lot of them, though. They're really, like, they can be really good about it and kind and like, you know. All the men in my life are so good because as soon as you talk about it,

they're like, I'll do whatever you want, just don't talk about it. We were walking to the supermarket the other day and we walked past a guy on a picnic bench and Andrew said,

do you need any tampons, babe? Just to shame out the guy on the picnic bench who felt so uncomfortable. Andrew's great with it. But this guy online, I don't know quite why he thought this was a good idea, but he has delved, not delved into. You can say delved, you're a lady. He has worked out how many tampons the average period will need.

Does he have a uterus? Wow. No. I would guess that he's never had a period. Oh, wait. We're talking about periods. Do you want some themed music? Oh, no.

I've organised some themed music. Brie. No, we've got to play the themed music. Go on, Jordan. Everyone. Hand clap. I mean, she's not talking about something else, but I did say to

Brie before this break, I was like, you bloody watch yourself. What have you done? Sorry. Yeah, we're going to tone it down. He's worked out how many tampons we need and he's shown it's working. So this is his post. The average period's between 10 and 35 mils.

Each tampon holds about five mils. Okay. So seven tampons per cycle. Let's be generous and say 10. Wait. I thought that per cycle. Let's be generous and say 10. Wait, 10? I thought that, per cycle? Yeah, that's like. So let's be generous and say 10 for,

and what he said is inappropriate, nine periods per year. That's 90 tampons max. You can get a 64 pack on Amazon for 790 pounds, plus shipping, buy two packs, save on shipping, and have 128 tampons for the year. That's about 20 pounds here or there for a year. Cut down on your Starbucks venti frappuccinos

and stop whining. This isn't a first world problem. Oh, that guy needs to get. When you lost me at pounds, I can't do the conversion. Just double it. So he's saying like 40 New Zealand dollars a year should see us right. Oh.

But he hasn't taken into, he's just taking into account when one has maximised its liquid capacity rather than how often it should be in there, hence toxic shock syndrome. Yeah, has he heard a toxic shock? Like, that's

fatal. You're playing in, you know, this is a landmine, this topic, isn't it? I know, you see me dancing around. I'm trying my best, everyone. Do you want some more themed music? Is that what you need? Do you need some more themed music? Hit it off, Georgia.

Hit it off. Tell me when it kicks in. Okay. Bit edgier and bloodstream. How many of these have you got? There's quite a few different songs. Mate, I could go all day. Is there another one?

Maybe. Go on then. We'll move on. No, another one? Maybe. Go on then. Obviously, the internet had a lot to say about it. But someone was like, pretty sure I used 90 on one bad cycle alone. But I loved your mansplaining. Cheers for that. Appreciate it.

Coming up, Bree is going to... Guys, I think I've broken up a friendship. Your friendship? I'm pretty sure one of my friends is not going to get a house because of me. It's that bad. A house?

Yeah. That's coming up. I'll tell you what happened next. Marvel Studios Captain Marvel presents the ZM All-Woman Breakfast Show. Hey, guys, it's Halsey, and you're listening to my girls, Megan, Belle and Brie on ZM. Spy.co.nz Paris Jackson has tweeted following the documentary about her dad. So, Leaving Neverland is the doco.

It's two parts, two hours long. Comes out on Sunday, right? Yeah, you guys should watch it. TVNZ On Demand. Are you going to watch it? Yeah. I need to. It was like the R. Kelly documentary.

I was like, need to watch this and just educate myself on, you know. That's the thing. So ZM's not playing Michael Jackson. We didn't really anyway, but all of the stations at our company are not playing Michael Jackson, we didn't really anyway, but all of the stations at our company are not playing Michael Jackson. There's a lot of comments online that agree and disagree, and that's fine, everyone's allowed their opinion, but I'm going to wait until I watch the documentary because...

Yeah, because you need to see. I mean, it's like making a decision before you actually see the documentary, seems, yeah. It screamed at Sundance and it got a standing ovation, which is odd given the subject, but I think either way, it's going to be pretty intense

to watch. Now, if you're wondering if the kids have seen it, Paris Jackson has not seen the documentary. She said she wasn't given the chance to see it, the opportunity to see it before it's screened at Sundance, but she has tweeted and she said, well, because there were stories going around,

Paris Jackson believes her father, Michael, was innocent of sex abuse claims. She tweeted saying, I haven't actually made any statements yet, especially regarding how it affects my work life. You guys are reaching a bit. At least this wasn't a disgusting and attacking article, though. You all take my life more serious than I do.

Come y'all todays. Was her answer. Girl. I do feel bad for the kids and I think, you know, they've been brought into something without, you know, they didn't have a choice and they just kind of get wrapped up in all of this.

So I do feel bad for her. It's nothing like finding out something about your dad. And you would never like want to believe that about your parents or your family. Of course you wouldn't. I mean, Oprah's weighed in on the topic. And you would never want to believe that about your parents or your family. Of course you wouldn't. I mean, Oprah's weighed in on the topic. Did you see that? She spoke to the two victims.

Or the two people, yeah, the two guys that have come out on the film. But she's been wearing it as well because she did the interview. Absolutely wearing it for just talking to the two victims. Right. There you go. That's interesting. That is Spy. For more, you can go to ZM Online. Up next I'm going to tell you about how I think I've

pretty much implicated something where my friend's not going to be able to get a house anymore. Oh my god. Ah well, none of us are going to be able to buy them anyway so join the fold. ZM's all-woman breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel. It is our women's show. thanks to Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel, which is out today.

It's out today, yeah. I need to tell you about something that happened to me. A conversation went down a couple of days ago. My friend calls me and... How good a friend? Like one of my best mates. And I think I've nearly done something which might see her not be able to get a house. I think I've nearly done something which might see her not be able to get a house.

I'm trying to work out what you could have done. I think I've taken a joke too far. Oh, that's not like you. Alright, you're next. So she calls me up and she was not happy and we never fight and I was like, what have

I done? She goes, you know how and I don't know exactly because. And I was like, what have I done? She goes, you know how, and I don't know exactly because, I mean, I haven't bought a house myself, so I don't really know what happens or whatever, but she went and saw. I have once before. You bought a house? Yeah. Boss dog? Yeah, it was a while back.

Is that why you're wearing all those gold chains? Oh, yeah, mate. Baller over here. Baller. So she says to me, she's went and saw, I mean, what you need to see. You get a loan and talk to a broker or I don't know what you do. Something like that. Is that a term?

Yeah. Anyway, she says that they were going through, you know, they go through everything. Like all your bank history and your credit and all of that. Yeah, you can't buy a house with bad credit. She said to me, she goes. I don't know what you've done. And I'm sure everyone does this to their friends. Her and I transfer money to each other quite a lot. Oh no. She goes, I'm just going

to read out a few things. And you tell me if you recognise any of them. Strippers, drugs, blackjack, casino, Botox, burner phone, boob job, swingers party, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas. Do you know what? The worst of those is probably burner phone. Because like no judge on the rest of them. Exactly. Due to you. But they do look at what you're spending your money on.

Yeah. Whether you're frivolous and stuff, right? Yeah, because you've got to be able to pay your mortgage repayments. Yeah. I had to get on the phone to talk to this guy and say that it was a joke. What? They actually had to speak to you? Yeah, they were like, well, you know,

why are all these different payments coming into your bank account that say Burnaphone and Blackjack and all these different things. Were they substantial payments though or not really? No. That doesn't matter. It was like $30 for breakfast or, you know, just like small amounts. I mean, there was a few big ones for like, I think we stayed somewhere, so I transferred her money for like the accommodation.

And I mean, we got strippers one time. There was this one time that we actually did. And I mean, that cost a couple of, you know, $100. But in the reference, you don't need to write strippers one time. There was this one time that we actually did. And I mean, that cost a couple of, you know, $100. But in the reference, you don't need to write strippers. Oh. It's kind of a good PSA though

for everyone else because I think there's a few people that do that. They leave, they give three lines to write a lot of stuff on there. You do like

meticulous code reference. Yeah, also don't write lines or yeah, don't do any of that. You'll get your friends in trouble. Yeah, you can do it online. There won't be a house anytime soon.

I think I already have done it to you before. Great. Wonderful. You're welcome. Coming up before 7 o'clock, we have joining us in studio, New Zealand's first transgender model, Manaho Makai. We're going to talk to her soon. Try to keep up. ZM's all-woman breakfast show

with Marvel Studios' new movie, Captain Marvel. Woo! We would like to welcome special guests into the studio, our New Zealand's

first transgender model, Monho Makai. Woo! Welcome. Hello. Why was I the only one that clapped? Oh, sorry.

Yay! Can I clap for myself? Yeah, of course you can. Welcome. Hello, thank you. Can you tell for myself? Welcome. Hello, thank you. Can you tell us a bit about your journey and growing up trans in New Zealand? I feel like I always say this, but for me, I was really blessed to grow up in a really compassionate and supportive environment.

So I never really faced any discrimination or anything. Or if I did, I think I probably just mentally blocked it out. Like, as you should. That's how you should deal with trauma, you guys. You're strong, right? Just forget it. I love it. What were your parents like and, you know, did you have conversations with them and how supportive are they? Obviously, they're super supportive

and, you know. My parents are really good. My mum was actually the one who introduced me to my transition clinic when I was younger. So I guess obviously because I was wearing high heels to my ninth grade prize giving, everyone was like that's a tranny. That right there is

a tranny. Right. In a funny way, not in a mean way. Right. People didn't say that. I think that was just what was going through my head. Right. That's what I would say if I saw my little ass in high heels. Oh, can I say that if I saw my little ass and high heels. Oh, can I say that? You can say whatever you want.

You're the guest. You're the guest. Can you tell us what is the most frustrating thing people say to you or ask you? I've had people come up to me at events and ask me what my genitalia is. What? Like full random stranger,

first question. That's so not cool. We shouldn't even need to say that that's inappropriate. I feel like people just should know that. Yeah. I'm not going up to a guy going are you circumcised? Are you kidding me? I just wanted to know, just out of the blue. I like a turtle.

So it's but I want to know about the modelling because I read somewhere or I saw somewhere you didn't really have massive goals or aspirations to be a model. You just kind of fell into it, right? Yeah. Yeah, so how did that happen? Were you scouted?

Like everyone seems to be like on the street or whatever. So most of my friends were modelling at the time and I was asleep at my friend Harry Barclay's house. Hey, what's up? Shout out. I was asleep at his house. Oh, like I just had woken up and his agent was coming over to pick him up for a shoot. And that's how I met my first

agency, which is now closed, the others. But yeah, they were my first. So you got scouted when you just woke up? Yeah. You see me when I just woke up? Just woke up like this. You actually just woke up like this. So that's to say, you actually just woke up like this. So that's who they wrote the song about.

Right, I get it. What's your, like, you know, obviously being in the model industry now, what's, like, your ultimate, like, what's the show or the runway or what do you ultimately want to do or where do you want to take it? I don't really think that much about goals or aspirations in the modeling industry just because it is so fickle. You don't really have a lot of control over what you can get. So it's very easy to have your hopes let down because it's not really something you can like set steps

and work towards it. And if you work hard enough, you'll get that. Yeah, no, you're at the whim of other people. So it's kind of something that you should, I believe, you should just take things as they come, have no expectations and just live in the moment and enjoy meeting a lot of new people. What's the one thing you could say if there's a young trans person listening right now? What's the one thing that you could say to that person listening?

Don't be afraid to just let yourself be authentic 100% and those who care don't matter and those who matter don't care. Well, thank you so much for coming in. We're really proud of what you've done in New Zealand and I'm sure there's some young kids who will really look up to you. So, yeah, it's great to see your journey.

Thank you very much. Try to keep up. ZM's all-woman breakfast show with Marvel Studios' new movie, Captain Marvel. Yahoo! Yay! We're about to throw Brie under the bus just a little bit. I know it's International Women's Day and we're all very supportive of each other.

And we are. I can take it. I love the bants. Come on, bring it on. So we would like to know, on 0800 dial ZM, or you can text 9696. Your texts are very welcome this morning from everyone. What did you sleep through? What. What did you sleep through? What important event did you sleep through?

Because this morning. So we get here at 5 a.m. Usually in the breakfast show. So this morning we're like, we'll get here at 5 and we're going to go through everything we're doing today. Bree was very studious last night and she sent through lots of ideas at 10 past 10 p.m. Yep. I must say, when I saw that this morning, I was a little bit worried. and she's seen through lots of ideas at 10 past 10 p.m. Yep. I must say, when I saw that this morning, I was a little bit worried.

I mean, I do drive. I got off the air at 7 o'clock last night. You know, I went home, and I had dinner. I prepped, and then I went to sleep. Yeah. When did you go to sleep? I didn't get to sleep till about just after midnight. So I set one alarm and I'm not a snoozer, so I set an alarm and when the alarm goes off, I'm up.

That's it. How many alarms did you set? I set three. I have a few excuses that I'd like to run by you guys for being late this morning. Because something about me, I actually hate being late. It's my worst bugaboo. These are some of the, if you tell me if any of these excuses

are good enough, my fake tan needed one more hour of developing. So I just needed to. You needed to marinate a little more. I needed to get that in. I do drive radio, so I wasn't used to getting up early. Okay. I thought it was still night time. Yeah, right.

Okay. I had an adult sleepover. Did you? Oh, you should have just said that. I would have been like, yes, queen. That should have been number one excuse. I wish. Trust me.

My bed is so empty that I've now got a sink in the side that I sleep in. Yeah. So it was, what time? It was 20 minutes to the show and we actually were like, okay, well, what are we going to do here? Because it's not as if we've been promoting it as Megan Brambeau and all women's show for that long. We actually were going down, like trying to figure out what plan B would be. Maybe I was a little

worried, I'm not going to lie. To be honest, Vaughn told me the start time and I just came in whatever time he told me to come in. Equal rights. Melody is on the phone. Melody, what important event did you sleep through?

So I had my first trip to London. Really excited. Got dressed up for the nines. Dropped hundreds of pounds on tickets to the Lion King. The musical. It's so expensive. You're like, yeah, I'm going to go see a show at West End.

And then it's really crazy expensive. Yeah, it's crazy expensive. It was amazing. Well, for the first 10 minutes it was and I fell asleep through the rest. I was with my best friend and I slept through the entire thing and woke up at the end. But was the start and end good? It was really great at the beginning and it's an incredible show. I've been wanting to see it.

I saved a lot of money to go over there. Yeah, most expensive nap you've ever had, right? Yeah, pretty much. I missed the whole thing. I mean, spoiler, Scar dies at the end. Thanks, Melanie. Spoilers alert. I mean, as if you haven't seen The Lion King.

So, she's here. You made it in the end. Yeah, you did. So, well done. Duncan. Oh, our first You made it in the end. Yeah, you did. So well done. Just. Duncan. Oh, our first dude joins us on the show. Yay.

Duncan, what did you sleep through, buddy? A burglar alarm. What? A burglar alarm? At your own place? Yeah, at my own place. So what happened? I was just malfunctioning, eh?

I was just naked from the day. It was a long day. And, yeah, I was going off for like three hours. But was it a false alarm or were you being burgled? Yeah, it was just a malfunction or something. Oh, okay. I was going to say, Duncan woke up and all of his stuff was gone. He wasn't even on his bed anymore. That was gone too.

He's sleeping on the floor. There's one on the text machine. Someone's text through and they said, I slept through the big Canterbury earthquake. Oh, wow. How do you do that? I'm a heavy sleeper. You know what I mean?

That's crazy. A lot of people got thrown out of their bed. Really? Yeah, like intense. Whoa. They need like seven alarms just for everyday life. Someone else's text through as well. I fell asleep during my auntie's wedding service. The actual

vows, not the reception. Oh, and someone else slept through their wife giving birth to their first child. I mean, that's probably a good thing to sleep through because, you know, it's like your favourite pub burning down if you sit through that. As long as she doesn't see you sleeping, because

good luck with that for the rest of your life. Joining us on the phone next, because it's International Women's Day, Prime Minister of the country, who is also a woman, Jacinda Ardern, is going to join us on the phone. ZM's all-woman breakfast show, thanks to Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel. Our all-women show today, thanks to Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel. It's out today. It is out today. You can see it right now.

And it is in celebration of International Women's Day, so we thought we'd get the woman that leads the country on the phone with us this morning. Jacinda Ardern, good morning. Morning. Good morning. How special is this? Oh, look, I think you guys have got it all around the wrong way, though.

It should be an all-men panel so that you're all having a day off. Now you all managed to get a free day off out of this. Out of this open. Yeah. I want to know though that is Vaughan doing the school run? Is he making the lunches? Yeah.

You know, I just want to know that he's just putting the effort in even if he's got the morning off. Can you actually message him that? Because it's doubtful. I could actually. I will. For you, I will.

Yeah, thank you. How are you actually spending International Women's Day? Well, I got up early in order to do media interviews. Yeah. But this is, I guess, this is indicative of our household. So I was up early getting ready for work and Clark was up early looking after needs.

So that's how it runs in our house. I feel like you've already done enough internationally for women, you know, being a prime minister of the country. Yeah, you're sort of running a country. It's kind of a big deal. You're killing it. You're killing it, girl. And you're a mum too, which I think is so cool,

especially seeing you take baby Neve over to New York, all those UN summits you had on. Yes, well, that was the first and so far the only time we've taken her internationally. Parents out there who have done long haul will know exactly what I'm talking about there. But yeah, I actually probably, you know, it's just one of those things where you don't think about it at the time. You just get on and do the job. But from time to time, I'll get the odd letter from someone saying, you know, when I found out I was pregnant,

I really think it made a difference in the way my boss treated me because you're doing it too. So that then reminds me that, yeah, it is a big deal. Jacinda, I've always wanted to ask, I mean, what's your favourite thing about being Prime Minister?

Is it the freer comm? Well, you mean Premier House in Wellington? Yes, delightful. That's where you are at the moment, right? In Wellington. It is. That is exactly right. I live in the upstairs of what used to be a dental school. Really? Yeah, little known fact. A lot of people in there, we still have the bottom part of it still used to open for events. And, you know, we do lots of things in the downstairs part.

The Thornham Fair still happens in the car park of the house. But a lot of people, when they come in, they say, oh, I had my teeth done here. Oh, good. Right. So great. So filling. But that is the plus. So thank you.

Yes, the ACOM. Everyone does it to the ACOM. Yeah, well, that's what I'd do it for. That's, yeah, pretty much it. I remember you saying when you were pregnant with Niamh that you got lots of presents. And you donated those and you gifted a lot of those. But if you get presents now, do you get to keep them? And I still do.

If I get something from a company or a corporate or something, we ask if we can donate it. But if someone hand-makes something for me, just yesterday a woman down in Christchurch gave me this beautiful hand-knitted woolen little jumper with a little cow on the front of it. So when people do that specially, we definitely keep them for her then. That's so cute. You can't tell we're all about the

freebies, right? Do you have to hashtag sponsor on your Instagram Jacinda? I'm not allowed to do any of that. I actually haven't met you in person before Jacinda, but I am a bit embarrassed. I do owe you

an apology. Oh, God. Oh, God. This is really the time for it. I mean, we can do this here if you'd like. Probably not, but I'm going to do it anyway. I actually was on a flight that you were on and you were pregnant with Niamh and I got very excited. I was like, oh, my God, the Prime Minister is on the plane.

And I happened to score a seat right up the front. I was about two rows back from you and producer Ellie, who was with me, we were sitting there and I was like, this is amazing. Like, this is like big time in my life. And halfway through the flight, I fluffed. And I couldn't believe that that's happened while sitting on a plane with Jacinda right there. She breathed.

You'll be so pleased to know I have absolutely no recollection of that flight. Good. It's been weighing on my mind for the last six months, so that's fantastic. Almost a given when you're in a human tin can that these things happen. And I thought, you know, Jacinda at the moment, she's pregnant. She can feel my pain.

You know, feeling it. Feel your pain, but still manage to keeping it inside. Well, don't make me feel bad. Don't fart shame me, Jacinda. Next time, please do say hello, though. I will, for sure. Before you have a mouth. Okay, great.

Thanks so much for joining us for our special women's show. Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand. Have an awesome... Happy International Women's Day. Yes. Thank you. Okay, bye. Marvel Studios Captain Marvel presents

the ZM All-Women Breakfast Show. Hey guys, it's Halsey, and you're listening to my girls, Megan, Belle, and Brie on ZM for International Women's Day. Happy International Women's Day. Yay! We've all synced up. I don't know how we did it, but pretty impressive. We would love to talk about what women actually want in this break, but I think that we need all the women in the room.

Yes. We've got producers, we've got behind the scenes. Everyone here today is all women in celebration of International Women's Day. So we need everyone in studio. Yeah, come on, gals. Because I think sometimes, you know, women might seem a little bit complicated, but I think we're pretty simple.

This is the ongoing plight. Guys are like, we are simple, but how often are they the ones that are playing the games? Like, we just want love, you know? Hey, sometimes I just want a tea and a lie down, you know? It's pretty simple. It's not hard. Put me to bed.

Tuck me in. That's pretty easy. So I think what we're going to do this morning, just to celebrate International Women's Day, we're just going to say what women really want. We're just going to go around the room. Do around the room. Do around the room. And I feel like it's going to be pretty insightful

even for us ladies. Okay. All right, who wants to kick it off? I think you should kick it off. All right, I'll kick it off. All right. All I really want is a beer and to undo my skinny jeans. What about you, Val?

What about you? I really want to not have to wear a bra all the time. I didn't ask for boobs, you know? I actually cried when I grew them. I'm not wearing a bra right now. I was in the fitting room with your parents and I was like crying. They just kept growing.

Producer Anya. I want flowers without hinting that I want flowers. Yeah, yeah. Producer Caitlin. I would like to openly cry in my car and not have people look at me funny. I didn't mean to judge you the other morning. I did see you.

I saw you looking at me. What about Producer Ellie? What I really want is to just let one rip and not be judged for it. Yeah, to be honest. Can I say, spending a lot of time with Producer Ellie, I don't want you to have that. I was going to say, the judgment's not there, but if it smells like shit.

And you do that anyway. Excuse me, sorry to you, have that. I was going to say the judgement's not there, but if it smells like shit. And you do that anyway. Excuse me, so do you Brianna. Very true. So what I really want in this world is flattering lighting. Oh yes. At all times. Amen. And producer Georgia, what do you really

want? Okay, I feel like I'm way too similar to my Ellie. I want to be able to go to the toilet with the door open and it be acceptable. Yes. Okay. No, you need Jesus. That's like a problem I have with my husband, except I want him to shut the door. Because I don't need to be privy to that. Why do you need the door? I just like to

have yarns. I'm like, hey, what are you doing? You get lonely. Shut the door! I can just imagine you. You're like, halfway through? Hey! So is he the one who has a problem with it? Oh, he hates it. So he doesn't... No, he keeps the door closed. And if he locks it because he doesn't like you walking in, like, if I

need to brush my teeth, he's like, nah, use someone else's toothbrush, I'm in the toilet. It ruins the illusion, doesn't it, for him? Of how sexy Georgia is. Obviously, we can't flat together, us three. No. Why do you want to be brushing your teeth while he's doing that? Because I've got to go.

It keeps taking 15 minutes. Yeah, and don't shower when someone's on the toilet doing that either. It creates a bad vacuum in there. ZM's all-woman breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel. It's Ariana Grande. Break up with your girlfriend. I'm bored on ZM.

It is our all-woman show this morning. Thanks to Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel. And, of course, it wouldn't be an all-woman's breakfast show without Hilary Barry joining us in studio. Yay! Thank you so much for having me. Thank you so much for coming in. New Zealand superhero.

Oh, that's very sweet of you guys. I've got to say something first up. Okay, so I've been into the studio a number of times. This morning, the studio smells so good. It's because Vaughan's not following. Yeah. It smells so good. There's beautiful pernims in the air

I didn't shower I was going to say It's not my natural aroma This has nothing to do with Brie That's for sure So you're in here You're Hilary You're soundkeeper Barry this morning

But we want to have you in here It's Hilary Okay I'll take that hat off Put the other one on So today's International Women's Day And I love how you stand up for, I guess, yourself, but also, like, women just love your clapbacks to trolls.

People tweet you awful things. I think everyone loves those clapbacks. Well, that's very nice of you to say. Look, I could be clapping back every day. You have to be careful not to be too negative, Nancy. But occasionally, things will pop up on my feed or I'll get some feedback. And I just go, okay, either I'm not putting up with that and you've actually made me cross, or it's so ridiculous, I'm laughing.

So the other day I got one, and it was actually from a woman. It's kind of actually not. You get stuff every day. How do people not like you? I don't get it. Well, you know, you get lots of positive feedback too. I don't want to make it sound like it's only negative. So this woman took exception to the size of my thighs on the TV

because I was in a pair of light coloured pants. But it was so funny. I just thought it was so funny because you know, I'm okay with my body. And I'm nearly 50. And my thighs have always been this size from about the age of 13 or 14. Which was mortifying when I was 13 or 14. But you grew into them.

I grew into them, you know. And they are what they are. And I'm totally fine about it. So her sort of body shaming me on the thigh front, I thought I was laughing and laughing and laughing and so I thought, oh I'll show her. So I took a close up photo of my thighs and replied with the close up photo. Said I could send her a framed

copy if she liked. She'd be like they're a lot bigger up close. How do you decide what to, because I get texts as well. I get called lots of things but most of the time I'm like, my mum would say, just ignore it. How do you decide what you're going to reply to and what you're going to give the time of day?

Do you know what? It's kind of just, I don't know, if one is particularly, just strikes a nerve with you, I kind of would reply to that. Or if one makes you laugh. That's what I was going to say. And then I ignore the rest but the other thing you have to keep in mind and this is true for everybody not just people who

are in the public eye whose opinion do you care about? I care about the opinion of my family and close friends and I don't really care about the opinion of other people who are complete strangers. So when people are mean and they go,

yeah, I care, I don't know, I'd go, well, I don't care. And they don't really know you. Because I have lovely people around me who care about me and whose opinion I care about. It's very true. You're such a good example for especially, you know, young girls. And for us who, I mean, we all deal with it in here.

And I mean, I agree with you. I do love when they get creative. I appreciate a creative slur, you know, it's good. And if you can't hit back with humour, it's always that's the thing. Use humour. That's a really, really good point and I always try to, and the other thing too

is I'm really careful not to include the person's real name or anything like that because I don't want them to then be trolled by people who are trying to stand up for me. Because you know how it feels. Yeah. Exactly.

So I don't want to bring terrible things upon them. Not that I want to treat them like a piece of meat, but look, I have on my screen, ask about Jeremy Wells. Yeah, I was going to ask about him too. I sniffed him once. Hey! Well, sorry. It's not okay. Well, do you know what? He smells good though. You don't was going to ask about him too. I sniffed him once. Hey! Well, sorry. It's not okay.

He smells good though. You don't even need to sniff him. He will walk past and you'll get a waft. You just know. He wears some very high-end aftershave. The only other person I've known to wear that high-end aftershave was John Key. John Key had a very good aftershave game. Did he? Apparently Broner bought all

his stuff, but anyway. Jeremy smells good. Do you reckon he smells like cookies and puppies? That's what I kind of, you know, my two favourite things. No. No, it's more sandalwood and spice. Oh, wow. Do you know, everyone here has a crush on Jeremy Wells, including Ross Bowles.

Even the one? Yeah. Both? Yeah. He's such a good looking man. And he's really nice and funny and smart. Everything. Okay, we need to tone it down.

Well, he's like my little brother. So, you know, I see what you're saying. But he is like a little brother to me. And he is genuinely one of the loveliest people too. Good. Speaking of Jeremy, I mean, you're the top newsreader in the country. I mean, no one else is topping it like you are, Hilary. Well, I haven't done it for a while, but that's very kind of you to say.

I thought, I mean, this is a bucket list for me. I've always wanted to write you a news bulletin because I feel like you and comedy go together, but then newsreading and comedy don't usually. No, no. There have been bosses over the years who've reminded me of that. I love when you get the giggles though. It's one of the best things. We've all seen the videos. I've written you

a news bulletin this morning and I was wondering if you could all bless us with reading the comedic news bulletin that I've written for you. I'll give it a go. She hasn't pre-read by the way. She has not pre-read. It doesn't have any saucy words in it.

We've handed it over. There might be one saucy word. We've got a news bed for you as well. Oh, you've got a sting. This is full legit. Oh, I love it. Anya, our newsreader, is listening. Okay, she might get some tips from us.

Not that she needs any. Anya, you're amazing. Oh, thanks. So she will critique you after this. Okay, fair enough. All right, when you're amazing. Aw, thanks. So she will critique you after this. Okay, fair enough. When you're ready, George, head off the news bed for Hilary Barry. Here is the comedic news. Good morning. I'm award-winning female news presenter Hilary Barry. And I'm also two mimosas deep. Here's what's making the news this week.

Lime scooters are back on our roads after being temporarily suspended last week when a string of people claimed to experience braking malfunctions while riding the e-scooters. Turns out it was just another case of trying to catch me riding dirty gone wrong. In other news this week, a list of the top 10 most common things left behind in Ubers

was released. Some of the things making most common things left behind in Ubers was released. Oh, God. Some of the things making the list include wallets, keys, phones and umbrellas. But taking out the top spot was people's dignity after a long night out. Side note, I'm still on the lookout for mine, missing since 2003. In Sport This Week rugby

tackle scrum, all blacks are the best. Rugby. I figure that's, scrum, all blacks are the best. Rugby. I figure that's how the sport always is. Okay, love it. Oh, we're moving on to entertainment already. That was enough sport. To entertainment news now, and the Kardashian saga lives on with Jordan Wood's tell-all interview about what really happened

with Khloe's baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. In response, Khloe's launched an unexpected music career, releasing her first two singles, two singles, Thank You, Next Bitch, and Don't Kiss My Baby Daddy Cause You're Bored, You Get Dat Money Girl. This is so much written in my voice.

That's what's making news this week. I'm award-winning news presenter, style icon, and now six mimosas deep Hillary. Well done. Thank you. Thank you very much. She did not say that beforehand.

That was not pre-read. You're such a boss. Oh, dear. I don't think they'll be ringing me up anytime soon to read the news. And I can't believe you drank four mimosas while doing that. They're lovely. Thanks for making such strong ones. Higher, further, faster. four mimosas while doing that. They're lovely. Thanks for making such strong ones. Higher.

Further. Faster. ZDM's all-woman breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios. Captain Marvel. It's Megan Brie and Belle here this morning celebrating International Women's Day with the help of Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel,

which is out today. Yes, and it's the one you need to see before Avengers Endgame, which comes out in April. It is. today. Yes, and it's the one you need to see before Avengers Endgame, which comes out in April. It is. Yes. Now, we actually, with the help of the Head of Entertainment and Lifestyle at NZME, we have an interview with Brie Larson.

So I want to welcome into the studio Joanna Hunker. Good morning. Good morning. So you actually got to go and sit face-to-face with Brie Larson. I sure did. I got to fly to Singapore. I got to see about 15 minutes of the movie. Marvel's very tight lipped about these things.

Don't let you see the whole thing beforehand. And yeah, got to meet her. And she was just such a warm, open person and really cool. Just had a really great spirit to her. Because I mean, what a huge role for her to land. And, you know, did you get a vibe about how much that was riding on her shoulders? How did she feel about that? Yeah, definitely.

And I asked her about that. The really interesting thing for me is that I would have thought the pressure was all about being the first female superhero. But for her, it was just about being in a blockbuster of this size and whether she would have to give up her anonymity. Right. Which is quite an interesting take. It's interesting how people react, you know, that what you think someone's reaction would be is completely the opposite. And the fact she was just very open about that.

Is it true that all the people there were women? She asked to only be interviewed by women. Not entirely true. She did have an inclusion rider which stated that at least 50% of people who interviewed her had to be women, but there also had to be people of colour or different religious groups. particularly for Marvel movies, obviously superheroes, very male dominated, male focus. Normally on those press junkets, the press pack is majority male and pretty geeky males, that I have to say. So, and it definitely was

a much more diverse room, much more diverse bunch of people going in to speak to her. And one of the points she made was that she was loving it because she was getting people sitting in front of her who she had never seen before,

who had never done these interviews before. One of the things, particularly up in LA, there is a circuit of journalists that do these things and they just are in and out every day and they are mostly males, but, and they've done 50,000 of these things, but she was deliberately championing people and trying to give people an opportunity who'd never had the chance to be there before. I love that. She's just an all-round boss babe in real life too. So cool. All right, well, let's hear it. This is Joanna Hunkin interviewing Brie Larson.

Brie, congratulations on this role. From what I've seen, it's awesome. Thanks. Captain Marvel is a badass, like a proper badass. But I understand initially you had some reservations about taking on this role. Tell me about that. It didn't have anything to do with the like, the character or the movie itself.

It was just the stuff that comes with doing a movie like this. The places your face goes, you know? The size and scale and the... Yeah, being... Everywhere. Yeah, and more people just, like, know you or know what you look like. And I'm an introvert, and I wasn't sure

if that was an experience that I would be able to handle or thrive in. And how have you been finding it so far? I've been fine, but nothing's changed. Like, I still was able to go walk around Singapore yesterday and it was fine. I got street food for dinner. It was totally fine. So my experience hasn't changed yet, and I'm grateful every day. The costume is fabulous, and one of the things I really like about it

is the fact that it is quite an androgynous costume, right? Yeah. It's not skimpy. It's not. really like about it is the fact that it is quite an androgynous costume, right? Yeah. It's not skimpy, it's not. Is that something that was consciously talked about and that was important to you? Or did you have any involvement in that? Well, I mean, we're kind of replicating and going off of the comics.

So that foundation was built long before we were making the movie. But really, it's about functionality. It's not about trying to say anything other than she's this person trying to accomplish this task and this is part of her tool that gets her there. So I love functional clothing personally. And it's something that I talk about with the costume designer on almost every film. It's what is this character trying to achieve and how can those clothes get us there? I want to ask you about your inclusion rider because obviously you've

publicly said that that's something that's important to you and that you're committed to and that has been in play for this film particularly I think on this publicity tour or something. Why is that something that really matters to you and that you're championing? Well, this film is giving me

a great opportunity to have a little bit of power and say. And I think the real Captain Marvel is interested in uplifting people. And that's what I'm interested in, too. And I remember every person who lifted me up, who gave me a shot, who got me in the door. And I'm just trying to freshen it up a little bit. Try and get some new people to get some new opportunities. Yeah, because new voices, new ideas makes for a bigger world yeah right yeah exactly have you how have you found

people have responded to that in terms of the industry or managers or execs and that kind of level the only thing that I've experienced is getting to meet new people and that they're excited about getting to try something new for the first time means a lot of people like sitting in that chair today is their first time doing it. And it's fun to be part of that experience with them. Yeah, that's awesome to be able to bring people on the journey and open up.

Yeah, I mean, that's what this movie's all about. Awesome. Hey, that's my time, but thank you very much. That was lovely. And yeah, it's very cool what you're doing, so keep on doing that. Thank you. Did you feel the pressure?

I always feel the pressure. Like, was someone that inspirational to wrap up and like, yeah, you're really awesome to me. Like, keep on doing what you're doing. I have to say, listening to that one, I was like, wow, I really had my shiz together. That was quite good, wasn't it, ladies? Jo, was your favourite thing that she said,

my favourite thing that I took from that was, we have to lift people up. Yeah. 100%. And I just have to say, one of thing that I took from that was we have to lift people up. 100%. And I just have to say one of the things I love about this morning is we're getting a plurality of voices, right? This is what's important because when you have lots of women and different perspectives, you start to realise that it's not about us all being in solidarity and having one voice or one point of view. We're allowed to have different points of view.

And that's why diversity matters. And that's why equality matters. And that's why this is rad, because having you ladies here, you're all different. You've all got different things to say. But often, there's often only one woman at the table. And that's true, not just in media,

but in boardrooms, in meetings, in all kinds of industries, where people go, oh, we've got women on our team. No, you've got one woman with one voice. But when you have many women and a variety of women, you realise that there's room for many different perspectives. Yeah. And that's what matters. It's all about coming together and, you know, building something as one. You know, we don't want more.

We just want to be there with the men because we've all got great men behind us. You know, I've got some amazing men in my life and I feel like it's about not only lifting them up but lifting each other up together. It's celebration, not segregation. Exactly. 100%. Totally.

Yeah. So off the back of that, and thank you for that, Jo. That was very well spoken. And off the back of that, and thank you for that, Jo. That was very well spoken. And off the back of that, International Women's Day, the three of us do have something a little bit more serious that we would like to touch on next. ZM's all-woman breakfast show, thanks to Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel.

It is International Women's Day today, and in the spirit of such, we did want to delve into a semi-uncomfortable space. I have written this down because when I talk about things that are quite dear to me and quite like...

A bit emotional. It makes me emotional. And look, behind the scenes here, if I can be candid for a little bit, you're very nervous about talking about this this morning and I think that's okay. It just means you really care. I do. But Belle and I and George and all the producers here,

we've got your back. Okay. You'll be fine. We're in this together. And just before I start, celebration, not segregation. Very much so this morning. It's about lifting people up this morning. Everyone.

Everyone. I have had a friend of mine fairly recently tell me that there was no gender pay gap, that there are women in his workplace that get paid more than him and the situation doesn't exist. My answer to that is always just because it isn't happening in your workplace doesn't mean it's not happening. I have females, plural, that tell me, oh, I'm not a feminist. I'm not one of those angry women that complain all the time. This to me is the most disappointing because as a feminist,

a feminist is someone who believes in the social, economic, cultural and political equality between genders. I think it's just being a feminist is about, you know, just wanting the same thing. That's all it's about. It's not about being angry. Wanting equality. We just want a piece of the pie. you know, just wanting the same thing. That's all it's about. It's not about being angry. Wanting equality. We just want a piece of the pie.

You know, that's it. And why would you not want that for yourself as a woman? Keep in mind men can be feminists too, and to me there is nothing sexy and nothing more endearing than a guy who stands up for the women in his life. It's hot. I have had many moments where I've felt less than merely for being a woman. And these are some of the legit comments

that have been said to me, both professionally and personally. And sadly, I still remember them today. I've been told, it was your fault he did that to you. You shouldn't have been there. It wasn't. She's slept with at least two people in that department

and she has a boyfriend. I hadn't. You should have told me you were in that unserious relationship because I would never have hired you. I didn't. Show me the tag on your dress. There's no way you're a size 10. I wouldn't.

Do you need someone to hold your hand through everything at work? No, I don't. If you perform the sex act on me, I'll get you on the radio. I didn't. These are some of the moments I feel I've been let down as a woman. And before anyone jumps on the defensive, just pause for a moment and listen to what we have to say, please.

Oh my goodness, babes. We're all a bit quiet in here right now. We're okay. We can do this. We're all very nervous having this conversation because it's not something we ever feel like we're able to speak about. You know, you just sort of feel like you have to suck it up, get on with it, you know, like, oh, you know.

And can I also say, those weren't all men. Those comments weren't all men. Yeah. Sorry. No, no, no, you're fine. We're here to support you, aren't we, Bill? It is an important conversation. It's important to let other women know that it doesn't matter

what industry you're in um how old you are what religion what race you are we all struggle with the same thing and we need to support each other I actually wrote something yesterday um I like write a bit and I have a podcast which is all about female amazing podcast yeah um so it's something that I'm really passionate about. So I wrote something down because that's kind of how you have to do it. So I'm just going to read a little portion of that. If you want to read the full thing, you can. Yeah, again, I'm a bit shaky doing this,

but it is International Women's Day. Now you may not know, but it's actually been observed since the 1900s, which was a completely different time for women. And how lucky are we to be women now? Our great grandmothers, grandmothers, even our mothers did not have the same opportunities we do now.

100. We owe a lot to them. They paved the way. They put up with so much BS and they nurtured us so we could literally live our best lives. Now, International Women's Day is a global day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

It also marks a call to action of accelerating the gender gaps, including equal pay, equal rights for many parts of the world. Now, we can have this positive day to celebrate women, and I'm all for it, but we can't forget what is going on for so many women and men too. Like, this is all about including everyone. We need to focus on that. And while a lot of what International Women's Day is about

is equality for women, it's not... I just with men, but also inequality among women. You know, female empowerment is also about women being kind and lifting up other women. Don't let your insecurities drag another female down because that is your issue. There is enough success, love and beauty for all of us. And just because another woman is doing well, it doesn't mean you can't. Women have to fight every day to have a voice to be heard. And again, I want to make a disclaimer, nothing against men. But you know, we've been told in all different industries, certain things. I've told bosses things and had them ignore me, but then a male colleague tells them exactly the same thing and they listen. Or, you know, asking for exactly the same things. Like, you know, for example, I asked for the same microphone

as someone and I got called, I got told not to be an effing diva when I wasn't. And if the male or anyone else did that, they wouldn't say that. Again, I don't know if you wouldn't use diva when I wasn't and if the male or anyone else did that they wouldn't say that again um I don't know if um you wouldn't use diva for a male would you yeah I just think that yeah we we have to suck it up not make a fuss and fear of our careers and I think that um sorry I'm getting a little bit no I know we're here to support you, Belle. And I mean, look, I'm someone who I don't write stuff down and I get very uncomfortable and I use humour in a lot of my life. But I think it's important and sitting here right now in front of you two ladies and all these amazing women that work here at ZM, I'm so proud of us here today, you know.

And we were all scared about what was going to happen this morning, but we're still here. We're still speaking. And I hope that even just one person listening might sit there and say, you know what, I might think a little bit differently about something. And I feel so proud of you, Megan, and so proud of you, Belle, for standing up and speaking out because you know what, some people feel like proud of you, Megan, and so proud of you, Belle, for standing up and speaking out because you know what? Some people feel like they can't, but you've got to be bold for change and that's what's going to make a difference. So good on us.

Give ourselves a pat on the back and let's lift people up this morning. Each other. If you're a male, lift your females up around you. If you're a male, lift your females up around you. If you're a female, lift the females up around you. Let's just be a lot kinder to each other, I think. And equal rights is not a cake.

Just because you have a slice, like, just because I have a slice doesn't mean you get less of the cake. Let's all have cake. Yeah. Damn, I love some cake. Be real.

I always have to bring my analogies back to food. I love it. And I love you guys. Thanks. Love you, girls. We're moving on and next we're going to do our fact of the day, which is actually female related for International Women's Day. Marvel Studios Captain Marvel presents the ZM All

Women Breakfast Show. Hey guys, it's Halsey and you're listening to my girls Megan, Belle and Brie on ZM for International Women's Day. It is International Women's Day. I don't know about you guys. I feel powerful. It is time for Fact of the Day. I've just actually realised that we generally sing a jingle.

Yes, no one heard it. You guys actually do it every time in the studio. So this is a thing we get asked often if we actually sing a jingle. Yes, no one heard it. You guys actually do it every time in the studio. So this is the thing we get asked often if we actually sing it live. It's not good and it's different every time. It's definitely live every time. But we've done it for years and we haven't actually practised at all. No, I've only ever done it along with you on the radio. Can you give us a quick lesson?

So, you know the lyrics, eh? Yeah. Fact of the day. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Yes. Okay. The lyrics. It's lyrical genius.

Can you give us a little demo just so we get it right? So, the idea is we do a deep breath and that's like counting in. So, we'll go, fact of the day. Day, day, day, day, day. Yeah, we can do this. Okay. Oh, no. Can we?

I mean, I wish the producer producers mics were on because they could join in. Does anyone in the producers booth know the jingle? Okay, everyone who knows the jingle in studio

we're going to do an all... We need some backup, thanks. A women's choir for the fact of the day. And none of us

can sing. Forgive us because this has not at all been practiced so it could go pear-shaped. There's a lot of girls.

Okay, so I'm going to do the deep breath and then we're going to launch into it. Here we go. Oh wait, it's time for... Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Now I know what it's like at concerts when people sing Beyonce's music to her. Oh my God. Oh my God, they know my song.

You guys know the lyrics. I feel real nervous about this because I know that this is a big deal on your show. Oh yeah. And for some reason, I've taken on board fact of the day this morning. You're sitting in Bourne's seat. It's been given to me and they're big shoes to fill, but I'm going to do my best. I told you guys a fact the other day about what I heard from someone about how it came about why women shave their legs or when that started, why it came about.

Not that you have to. No, of course not. Not that you have to. You don't. But I do have the facts as to why that happened. So back in the early 1900s, the fancy women, the super fancy women, started wearing like silk stockings and that was like, because the dresses started getting shorter.

Right. So they started wearing these fancy stockings. And none of the, you know, poorer women could afford them. Okay. And then, of course, you know, marketing. They bought out the cheaper ones, which were nylon stockings and none of the, you know, poorer women could afford them. Okay. And then, of course, you know, marketing, they bought out the cheaper ones, which were nylon stockings. And then all the ladies jumped on board and everyone was wearing stockings and it was a big deal.

Yeah. So then in World War II, all the nylon factories actually were making stuff like parachutes and stuff for the war. Right. So they couldn't make these stockings anymore because it wasn't priority. So some of the poorer women who couldn't afford the more expensive ones started shaving their legs with their, you know, male counterparts' razors. So they started shaving their legs.

So it gave off the look of wearing stockings. Yeah, it gave off the illusion. And back in the day, stockings had that line up the back of the leg. They used to draw on the line. They'd shave their legs and then they'd draw the line up the back of their leg. I don't know. You get a wonky line. You get a wonky line. You're like, oh, your leg goes a little.

So they'd draw it on and then it just gave the illusion that they were wearing stockings. And that's how women started shaving their legs. And then they soon realised, we don't need to wear stockings. we can just shave our legs if we want to. I want to start though, you can't stop, can you? I mean, I've had laser on my whole body, I'm like a sexual slippery dip. Alright. I'm bald from the eyebrows

down, you know? Sorry, is that an overshare? Maybe a little. We have to do the jingle on the other end. Okay, cool. Are you ready? You bring it in. Is there a breath? Yep. Ready? Three, two, one.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I'm definitely off key. ZM's all-woman breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios Captain Marvel it's the Spice Girls wannabe it wouldn't be an all women's breakfast show

without without a bit of that the Spice Girls such a good song we need to discuss something oh really do we have to yeah

with Belle it's like we're all at brunch and we're like so tell us about him so when we came in this morning, we do like go through the show at 5am before we talk. And Belle kind of didn't bring this up

until partway through the show. I didn't think it was a big deal. I was just like, are you kidding? And then Caitlin's like, even use my full name, Annabelle, you mean to share this stuff with us? This is going to be on the show. Drops a bombshell that she's going on a first date tonight. Well, kind of.

It's kind of a first date. We've hung out a little bit. Can I say, this is one of the coolest first dates ever. You're going to the Chili Peppers. Yeah, we are. That's a hell of a thing to decide to go to together. Well, he asked me if I was going, and I was just like, I'm keen. They're literally one of my favourite bands.

I've been in love with Anthony Kiedis, like, since I was a kid, without sounding weird, but, like, I actually have. Like, I love them so much. So you've already bonded over a band? Yeah. It is actually quite smart, because if the band is not there, you just...

Well, you don't have to talk that much to him. Did he get the tickets, or did he want free tickets, because you work at the radio? Yeah, I did get the tickets. Oh! No, but I got them. Like, I'm very, you know, we're very lucky sometimes we get things. Right.

I don't know. I don't know. Come on, guys. I'm just joking. I'm just joking. No, but I did say to him, I hope you're all good with the fact that, like, I mean, I'm a complete dreamer, but I'm actually getting married tonight to Anthony Kiedis. I hope you're all good with that because, like with that because he's like, I'm all good.

You're like, he doesn't know about it but it's happening. As long as you're all good, that's the only condition. Are you all good with actually stalking the band with me after the show? I found a really good spot in the bushes outside their hotel. I've made a bed there. It'll be real comfy. So is this a dating app? No, no, it's really random actually. So, did you, is this a dating app? No, no.

It's really random, actually. Shouldn't be talking about this. It's so private. You don't have to if you don't want to. No, I feel fine about it. But, like, I actually met him. Yeah, I don't really use dating apps. You just meet people in real life. This is real life. You can meet people in real life? Yeah, honestly, I stopped using dating apps about two years ago. For me, personally, I'm just not about them. What, where you have to actually talk

to someone? Yeah. I met him at the beach. He's going for a beach swim. Yeah. What, did he, I just imagined him running out of the water and he's like shaking off his head

and it's like water going everywhere and he's wearing like Baywatch bathers. I've got to go have a lie down. Well, we'll be thinking of you now tonight.

At least I get to see Anthony Keeter so it doesn't matter either way. Like we said, Kendra Coxedge, a little bit of technical difficulties with her interview earlier. We're going to play her coming up after nine o'clock. It's our All Women's Breakfast Show on ZM.

Try to keep up. ZM's All Women Breakfast Show with Marvel Studios' new movie, Captain Marvel. Yahoo! Special guest joining us on the phone right now, Kendra Coxedge, who just happens to be the 2018 Progby Player of the Year. Good morning. Oh, hey, girl.

Hey, how's it going? Very well. So good to have you on the show, Kendra. Look, being a fellow sportswoman myself, I mean, I've exercised two days in a row now, Kendra. I mean, what... Take it easy. Take it easy. I wish, what... Take it easy. Take it easy.

She has... I wish she'd said something, Free. I mean, I'm so... I'm so muscly and thin now, Kendra. It's great. I need to ask you, what's been the biggest struggle, I mean, in your career,

being a female in rugby union? Probably for me, it's just been around working full-time and obviously having to train. Got to work, you know, train before work and train after work and it can be quite challenging in terms of you don't have many hours in a day. Yeah.

I find that you guys, given the fact that you don't get the same platform as the All Blacks, you guys are always so, like, you're so chill about it. You're so humble about it. You never, like, bite the hand that feeds and you're always just so positive. Yeah, I mean, I guess we don't really want to compare ourselves with all blacks. You know, they have their own legacy, and we have our own, and, you know, we've always kind of been this way,

and we're just really positive about, you know, getting that Black Ferns brand out there. What would you like to see in the world of women's rugby happen in the next, say, five to ten years? I mean, what's it going to take where women will be able to play full-time professionally and not have to go to their job as a teacher or go to their, you know, what's it going to take? I guess what we need is, you know, more people to come and watch us play, you know, and watch

us on TV and more media to report on us and get more sponsors on board. And the more that happens and the faster that happens, then I hope to see that the game will go professional in the future. I was going to say you need to win more games, but you can't because you win them all. The Blackbirds win everything. Yeah, we're pretty successful. Because Bree's going on and on about how much exercise she's done,

two days in a row. Two days, yeah, guys, two days. How much training is involved for you guys? Every day. We probably get a Sunday off. That's more of an active recovery. So you jump in the pool and do a bit of swimming.

But other than that, every day we're either lifting or running or doing something. Active recovery. Wow. So doing water exercises is your recovery. Okay, I'd count that

as like a gym day. You're like, yeah, that totally counts as a workout. No, in the pool, just like a relax, you know, just kind of walk around and do some stretches or yoga or something. Oh, my God, have you tried aqua-robics? No, I haven't actually done that.

What's a normal week look like for you? Like, are you getting up at 5 a.m., training, and then going to a full-time job and then training in the afternoon? Can you run us through that? Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what happens. You know, we have times when we have to be up at 5.30, start training at 6, 6 o'clock. in the afternoon. Can you run us through that? Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what happens. You know, we have times when we have to be up at 5.30, start training at 6 o'clock, then go to work for the day.

And then after that, we tend to have a session or maybe our club training at night time and then get home at, you know, 8 o'clock-ish and then, you know, have some dinner and shower and then go to bed and do it all again the next day. I'm never going to complain about being busy, you know, have some dinner and shower and then go to bed and do it all again the next day. I'm never going to complain about being busy. You know? Or tired. Do you get downtime ever to watch a movie or something?

Well, I guess that can happen. Like, we have games on Saturday, so, you know, a Saturday morning you can kind of just relax a little bit, or Sunday is probably a time to be able to do that. We have one night off a week, a Wednesday night, so it's a good time to catch up with friends and stuff. I was going to say, there's this thing called Netflix.

I know. I was going to say, yeah, what are you watching on Netflix? But probably nothing. No, I watch a bit of Netflix. I get time to do that. I do a bit of travel, so that's when I get a chance to watch a few things on there. And what's your favourite at the moment? I'm actually watching a show called The Punisher at the moment. That's a comic. I've seen that. Punisher.

Right. Does it give you inspiration? It's an action. No, it doesn't really give me inspiration. It's a bit gruesome at times. One last question, Kendra. I need to know, what is the bloody go with getting a Black Ferns jersey? We can't buy them anywhere.

Adidas, are you listening? We need them in the stores. Rebel Sport, let's do this thing. Let's get the Black Ferns jerseys out there. Yeah, I mean, that'll be cool if we can have that happen, especially, you know, World Cup's here in 2021 and we want to, you know, make sure they're out there and we're getting people out there and people know the brand and we get, you know, full crowds at games and I think that's

what's going to be real important leading into 2021. We're right behind you, mate. Oh, well, Kendra, congratulations again. I know it was last year, but... Yeah, I know, right? Rugby player of the year. Old news, eh? Old news. Yeah, old news. Nah. Not for us. I'd be putting on that on my resume for the next 80 years if I was you.

So which one of you three is Captain Marvel then? Me. No, that's me because my name is Brie. Brie Larson. We're all superheroes but none so much as you, Kendra. That's super exciting because we're about to launch off the back of that. We're taking a stand here at ZM. We want the Black Ferns jerseys in stores by 2020 in the lead up for the Rugby World Cup.

We need them before 2021. I didn't even know that they weren't. It's something that I have known for a little while and I've been putting on my social media. They need to be in the stores. Adidas, if you're listening, your move. So we actually, we want to start a wee petition. Yeah.

First of all, do you think they should be in stores and would you buy one? We're going to get this petition up and this is something that we're going to back over the next few weeks at the very least to try and get their jerseys in store for purchase. I mean, we've got a post on the ZM Facebook page right now if you want to show your support at the least.

Give it a like and we'll do our best. We want to see these Black Ferns jerseys in stores for everyone to buy. We need to support the girls. They're the best in the least. Give it a like and we'll do our best. We want to see these Black Ferns jerseys in stores for everyone to buy. We need to support the girls. They're the best in the world. And what better day to launch this than International Women's Day. You said it girl. Perfect. ZM's All Women Breakfast Show.

Thanks to Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel. Oh it's TLC on ZM No Scrubbers on our All Women Breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel. It is out today. We're having an all-women show celebration because it's International... Women's Day. Women's Day.

It's pretty special today. I've been talking about it all morning and I was like, what's it called? Hey, we're nearly done, mate. Oh my God. We're nearly done. Also, that post, we're starting a petition to get the Black Ferns jerseys in stores by 2020. The post is live on our ZM Facebook page. Go show your support.

Give it a like. Let's get these jerseys in stores. I'm just amazed that they're not already. Same. We need this to happen. ZM's all-woman breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel. Happy International Women's Day. That is it for us. It's been our all--woman breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel. Happy International Women's Day.

That is it for us. It's been our all-women's breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel, Megan Brie and Belle. We've brought you this show in the front, like, face value, but I just, I want to say thank you to all of the girls who have been part of it.

It's all women that have brought you everything today. And there is a crew of us who have brought this together. And I'm just so proud and so thankful for having a bunch of amazing girls around us. I mean, it's so cool to live in a day and age where there's so many talented women doing something that they love and being able to do that. And I mean, I'm grateful every day that we get to do a job that we love and we get to speak out for people that might not be able to. And, I mean, what a day today has been. Yeah.

Thanks to the guys too at ZM. Let's not forget them. I mean, which one got the day off? It's not like it was hard for them. But I would consider them both feminists. I get a lot of support from those guys. And I think everyone at ZM, very encouraging. So encouraging. Couldn't be happier with the everyone at ZM, very encouraging and I couldn't be happier

with the crew that we have, both men and women. Everyone's great here and everyone's so supportive of each other and I think that's the main thing to take from today. Be supportive of one another. This is about lifting each other up and rising together. I want to say thanks to

the amazing feedback we've had. Everyone who has sent in messages, we've read them. Bell was reading out a few before. Georgia, you were reading out a few, making us cry. We're working our way through them. Thank you so much for taking the time to text in. We were nervous. This doesn't happen in New Zealand radio at all.

I mean, there's only one other show we can think of right now that has two females on it, let alone an all-woman breakfast show. So, thank you to the men and to the women who have texted in today. And the good news is, it's continuing all day as well. It's not just this show, but during the day, we've got Anna on,

we've got Petra doing drive. And then someone's coming in. Celia. Celia's coming in to do the night show. We've had a bit of a shift, shuffle, because Georgia, I mean, you're on your deathbed and you're still here. And I mean, we really appreciate it. Because women are strong.

Thank you so much, George, for coming in today. I really appreciate it. Well, hey, you nearly kind of got like half. I mean, your laugh is just. I don't even know what I was going to say there. So I'm glad I'm not doing drive anymore today because I don't know what would be coming out of my mouth. But you've pushed the buttons so well.

Thank you. You've done an amazing job this morning, George. So I guess we're saying goodbye. Have a great International Women's Day. Love you. Happy International Women's Day. And have a great day. Woo!

Higher. Further. Faster. ZM's all-woman breakfast show. Thanks to Marvel Studios. Captain Marvel. In cinemas now.
