  Speaker 2: Yeah you know, well you know there's perks and there's stress.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: It comes with any job, right.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Because I wanted to know, like we knew because we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: all watch We love watching the show, but when like
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: how much do you see or do you know what's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: going on? Until the show maybe comes out, you're like, oh,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the crew were doing what.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Yes all the time, Like when the viewers see it,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I see it for the first time. They're always on
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: their best behavior with me.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, and then do you reprimand them on the
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: show goes to it? No, No, what's under the bridge?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: That's right, that's you know, they got to live with
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: it now.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: You kept in the vocal the Wellington, Yeah, I did did,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: because we were Wellington here in New Zealand. Yeah.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Really, yeah. You know they changed the name for the show.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It was the Wellesley.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: What they changed the name so no one knew what
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: the boat was security reasons.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know about security, but sometimes they just change
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the name. No, the owner wants it changed, but it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: not for security, just for the bad behavior that's on board.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Ah yeah right. And so you would get very affluent
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: guests on board, I imagine, do any of them have
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: what's the wildest demand a guest has ever had?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Well, they're not. I don't know. In my opinion, when
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: you're paying that kind of money, there's no wild demand.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It's just a request that it's an expectation that we
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: should be able to provide. Unless you know, we've had
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: people want us to fly truffles in from Paris, fresh truffles.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: So did the truffles get flown in?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Of course they have the money, the budget. We're like, sure, no.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Problem, she's really gonna want treffles.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Don't you read like fresh lobster or fresh you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: but the wild requests are not They're attainable most often
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: times if they have the budget for it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: There's nothing that show money come by flying a helicopter
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: to pick up a couple of traffles doesn't rettle you.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, because that's part of the business, isn't it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So that's what they're used to. That doesn't really happen
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: since you know, that's kind of cost.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Of living crisis.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: You can't fuel prices, not every.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Day, once a week maybe like that because like as
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: glamorous in people's minds when you're working on the boat,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: as it would be.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Of course, but there is like I was just sharing,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: when you see us drop the tender in the water
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and people go, oh my god, your job is so cool.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We get to see all these places. We take the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: guests ashore and come back to the boat. The only
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: way we see the shore line is if we do
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: garbage runs. So we all like, I'll do the garbage run.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Why were you gone for three hours? But we go
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in so the guests go to lunch, like you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: before below deck I would say everybody in the water,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we'd play with the toys, and after we would you know, dock.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But because usually you stay around where you're you depart from,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you go explore.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Do you find when you come to New Zealand and
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: we say below dick, But does it have different to you?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You know, I've had a lot of Kiwi crew over
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the years.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: You've got used to them saying Dick, but right, And.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Like all nationalities, everybody has their thing and you learn
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to train your ear and say wait a minute. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and I've learned a lot like.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Is there anything in particular you know about Kiwi stuff?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Just Asia series? Yeah, so know just how much she
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: loves it here, that this is her base and she's
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: never going to leave it, which I love. Which is
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: such a beautiful representation of a country. So many people
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: that do the show don't want to live in their
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: country and they want to move wherever, but Asia comes
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: back here to live. So that speaks volumes about the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: quality of life here.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: This is a beautiful country. Okay, what's the worst nationalisty?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Sandals with us from below dick? Dick is with us?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: If pirates if you've come across cut across.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Really a few times like yeah, you know, pirates are
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: thieves at sea. So between Cuban and Haiti. We were
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: chased by pirates. That's called windward passage because they came
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: from Haiti and we tow very expensive boats and they're
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: just going for the boat. Now in the Red Sea,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: there was a threat of pirates. When I had a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: fire in the Red Sea, we had security on board
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and he goes, uh, the pirates also heard your call
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: for help. So let's see who gets here first. You
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: have to really tell me that who did get there first?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: The warship, Oh, thankfully, And next stations when pirates are
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: on the way, like what what's the what do you do?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: We train, We have training, we know what to do,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: like you know, we're taught how to how to deal
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: with pirates. We don't have guns, you know, we don't
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: carry guns on board. We have fire hoses, we have
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: other means to keep them off.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: And so because they generally come along like a little
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: dingy with a motor on the back of it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: With these we have a lot of fire hoses.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Like when they actually do get to the boat, like
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: how do they climb up.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: These suction cups? But a lot of boats put bob
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: wire around, just like you know, around their boats.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Before you go because so nice to have you there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: The people say the term mouth like a sailor sometimes
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: means you know, I swear words, which I'm sure it
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen too much. Well, what we've done is we've
• 5:50
