Yeah, this microphone looks like it's been around the block.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
I'll stop complaining.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Don't get your mouth too close to the I will.

Right, Chelsea.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Good morning and welcome, Good morning and welcome.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
To have you here in New Zealand. We've talked to
you a couple of times over zoom, but it's nice
to actually see it.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I love coming to different countries that are not my own.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
One thing that makes us very happy is that the
weathers okay cold, but we know you like the snow,
but it's nice and clear.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Skuys.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yes, we went yesterday to Wahiki. We went to a
winery and we sat outside for four hours.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
They gave me a blanket and we just looked at
this and we obviously we were drinking because we were
out of winery, which is another thing I never really do.
I never drink wine. So but I know, if I'm
in New Zealand, you know you have to try the line.
So yeah, it's nice to spend time here.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I have like two days of free time?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Do you give and you'll roll In my role as
a person, I got a nice balance of free time
and work time. I like to hit it hard so
that I can vacation hard.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Because last time you were here, you were put the
call out. You put a video out looking.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
For a lover, A lover.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I think I found one last time I was here. Yeah,
hopefully I don't see I don't run into him again.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
I was with a love a lot there. Has he
got your number or you're like, no, we speak of this.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I mean I just yeah, I think everyone has my number.
I think it's pretty public because I got a lot
of incoming calls. I've stopped answering my phone because I
don't want to change my number. Yeah, I don't think
it's hard to get my number. If you're trying to
contact I think you could find it online probably. I mean,
I'm not encouraging that. And by the way, like I said,
I don't, I don't answer it. I almost cursed, and

(01:47):
then I caught myself because I know we're on radio,
so you're welcome.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Someone like you would have multiple phones on the go.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, I'm pretty basic. I don't know I don't have
time for that. I'm not really you know, very good
with technology. So I just you know, if I can
answer the phone at all, that's gonna be a bonus.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
What kind of so you've answered the phone to a
couple of widow's, like, what kind of things do they say?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Do you want money? Is usually people?

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, people are always If you look through my DMS,
it's like, you know, my dog has some.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Disease and you're you're my last hope, and you want
to help these people.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
And in the beginning of my career, I would I
would give money to strangers, and then someone tried to
assue me for giving them money. So I was I
was advised by my business managers. Never, yes, I gave
somebody money to get their teeth fixed because I made
a joke about people who don't have teeth in the South.
And there was a Southern woman and she said, you know,
not everybody can afford teeth, and I was.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Like, well, I'll buy you teeth. Okay, you're right, not
everybody can afford And so.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
It was like ten or fifteen thousand dollars to get
this woman a full set of teeth, and then she
didn't like them and wanted another set of teeth. And
then my lawyers are like, please stop responding to people.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
You can't buy.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
People teeth, and I was like, message received out and clear.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
I love the goal of it too.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
They don't suit my mouth. I was like, yeah, exactly.
She was like I got her tea. It's like and
she wanted to return the tee. So I mean, you
really care you can't.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
I guess you can't try before you buy.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
No.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
No, Now, I just don't open my DMS.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's like, because you do feel sympathy for people, you
want to help people, but you can't help everybody, and
who knows what these people are up to?

Speaker 3 (03:23):
So Bet, I think that's why people are drawn to you,
because you're such a genuine person and I feel like
what you see is what you get with you. And
there's at one moment that I'd love to love to
play with you. It's one of my favorite moments. That's
you and Piers Morgan. So Piers Morgan's interviewing you and
then joying the air break, He's on his phone or something.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
I mean, you can't even pay attention for sixty seconds.
You're a terrible interviewer.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Well, you just want keeping my attention.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's my problem. Your problem. This is your show.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
You have to pay attention to the guests that you
invaded on your show. Interesting enough, Yeah, they listen. It
doesn't matter how interesting I am. You signed up for this,
that's why the job is coming to it.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, he's terrible's he's so terrible, the worst interviewer of
all time.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well, I wanted to know what was he looking at
on his phone?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Who knows? Probably born so annoying. I know, I'm pred
so many times. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'm pretty proud of that clip. When I watch it,
I was like, I mean, I laugh, like, oh my god,
that's so funny that I said that. I must have
been really tired that day and had no you know,
I can't curse, but you know, know what's left in me.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
But more than that, it's like you up against a bully,
and in that situation, most of the time we know
what we want to say, but nothing comes out eloquently.
You were so calm and you were just like calling
him out. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, it was an out of body experience at some point.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Is it awkward afterwards?

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh yeah yeah, I mean yeah, he hates me. I
mean I welcome that.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
But yeah, after the interview, he's like, wow, you really
did it. I'm like, you're you know, I kept going.
I was like I could have recorded that too, yelling
at him as I'm leaving his.
