00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: Chelsea? Absolutely if you're wearing a football jersey in the

16
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: middle of all black country.

17
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: I am. But you've got a black Oh.

18
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: But you've got an all black jersey. You've got one?

Speaker 2: I've got loads of them. Chelsea are playing last night.

21
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: So you.

22
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: And you're here to do quizzers, Yes, but not as

23
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: a quiz person, but as the quiz master.

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: Well taking part in quizes to try and raise money

25
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: for a wonderful charity. So over the last six occasions

26
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: I've been to New Zealand, I've always basically used my

27
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: phone to try and raise and shine a spotlight on,

28
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: you know, charities who need to help, need to support.

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: So this year it's going to be Cure Kids, which

30
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: is fantastic.

31
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Now on the quizzing, which we all we

32
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: know that seventy percent of your life is quizzing. Thirty

33
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: percent is am Barrisster. Yeah, still the story. But the

34
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: quizzing is how you've got international fame, you know, and

35
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: you have the worst win rate out of any chaser

36
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: seventy percent compared to end seventy nine percent. And my

37
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: question for you on this, yeah, do you throw them

38
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: on purpose? No?

39
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: If I don't know the answer, I don't know the answer.

40
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: It's just simple as that. I would never ever throw

41
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: a game. If I don't know the answer, I don't

42
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: know the answer. Conversely, on beat the chasers, I've got

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: the highest percentage rade of ninety five percent.

44
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: And if the chase is always won, who watch it?

45
00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Who would watch it?

46
00:01:59,800 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: No?

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well that's good. Do you prefer but do

48
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: you like being a quiz master instead of being.

49
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: I like doing both. I can pick and choose by

50
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: appear in courts nowadays, but more and more I'm sort

51
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: of gravitating towards that, you know, taking part in quizes,

52
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: hosting quizzes, using my fame in an altruistic way to

53
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: try and raise money for charities. It's good.

54
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: Are the questions for the New Zealand two are going

55
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: to be as hard as the UK show?

56
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: We'll wait and see, but I'm really looking forward to

57
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: hosting the twenty fifth anniversary of the New Zealand Quiz

58
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: Championships in Eden Park. So that's going to be fantastic.

59
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: New Zealand's having their own version of the Chasers.

60
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really really good. So Paul Henry is going

61
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: to be the new host. I think it's really good

62
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: that they've got some professional Chasers who are experienced in

63
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: doing the show in terms of the Superherder now, but

64
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: I would really and dearly like to see a New

65
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: Zealand Chaser, yeah, because there's some very very good quizzes

66
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: over here and it would be really really good to

67
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: New Zealand build up their own sort of quizzing heroes.

68
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely so eight quizzers, Christ You, Jimmercargo wiped it up

Speaker 2: Well I'm having some fun. But as I said to

74
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: you Andrew, for me, sometimes, what's the point in being

75
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: famous if you can't use your fame in an artistic

76
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: way to chry and help others.

77
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: And all backs versus Island. Who's going to win?

78
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: I hope you All Blacks win, but I do remember

79
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: three years ago when in the same venue that Ireland

80
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: basically beat you All Blacks and they became the number

81
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: one ranked team in the world, and everybody was thinking

82
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: that Island we're going to then going to win the

83
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: World Cup.

84
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: It's a bit like Seaun Wallace being the chaser, you know,

85
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: if we win all the time who had watched.

86
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: Exactly, So it's going to be an interesting game, very

87
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: good stuff.

88
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,000

89
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,480
