Hey, it's good to be back, guys. Nice to talk to you. Last week, you had a former president arrested over there. This week, it's the president's son. Is it you next week? I mean, who's getting arrested next? I mean, I'm surprised at this point in my life that I've never been arrested. I mean, the way that I live my college years,

I'm very shocked that I never got in serious trouble. Very lucky. I'm knocking on wood right now. Yeah, sometimes you do look back at your late teens, early 20s, and you're like, how did I make it through? Totally. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son,

he's had a bit of a rough history with drug abuse and addiction, and he lied about having a crack cocaine addiction to get a gun. Yeah, you know, the thing is, I feel like there's drug addiction right and there's like messing around with drugs and then there's crack it's just like they're two different groups i just feel like crack like every president has had their family be in scandals and had some sort of you know drama going on in the family but you rarely hear about someone in the presidential families uh that's addicted to crack.

Crack is just, it's on a whole other level. I don't think anybody has the patience or the time or is able to be like, it's no big deal. It's just a little bit of marijuana. So we're confused by the charges. So he lied about his drug use, but then he was trying to get a firearm illegally. You know, your guess is as good as mine. We're all actually quite just as confused as you are across the world. Nobody really knows because we're sort of fed a bunch of different stories.

And on social media, you hear from different sides what everybody's saying. But all I know is that he's done crack, and I just don't feel like that's a great thing. Because it feels like he lied, from what I understand. Is that like when the doctor says, how many drinks do you have a week? And you're like, Oh yeah. Is that like one of those situations or is a bit more like full on? I think so. And everybody lies on those, right?

There's no way. Like, like if you actually were honest, it'd be like, yeah, like, I don't know, 50 a week. Like, I mean, it's probably closer to that, but I don't know. It's like, again, yeah. It's like the crack and the hookers and like, there's a whole rap sheet of stuff. I mean, I'm probably closer to that. But I don't know. It's like, again, yeah, it's like the crack and the hookers. And, like, there's a whole rap sheet of stuff that, I mean, half of it we probably don't even know about. Again, as soon as you hear crack, let's just move along. You know what I mean?

I just, this is no good. Every time my doctor's like, how much crack have you had this week? I'm always pretty honest. I only four or five times this week. Socially, one time, like once a day. And then I remember one of the chicks that he was like hooking up with or sleeping with or having an affair with said something like

he would wake up and use crack. So there's crack and then there's the morning crack usage. Again, it's just not. Actually, when you look into President Biden's history, he's had a lot of trauma in his life, hasn't he? Because his first wife and his baby died in a car crash. Yeah, really sad.

Yeah. I mean, I can't imagine. And again, we've had so many presidents in U.S. history that have had. I mean, you look at JFK, like think of all of the trauma that those families have had and all the scandals and all the secrets. I mean, again, I don't think any of us will ever know half of the true stories of most of those families. What I want to ask you, actually, because I get fed all these videos and I don't know if they're like edits of Joe Biden acting daughtery and old on stage and have to be sort of fed lines. Is that is that actually what's happening or are these just terrible internet edits?

Yes. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Listen, I mean, I think any president is going to have like they'll have somebody help write things for them. And when they get up, they have you know, they're prepared with their speech or whatever they're going to say to the country or to whoever is at whatever meeting or thing. But and they're going to have it in a teleprompter. But I don't even think that he knows what he's reading. I don't think anybody preps him before. I think they're saying it in his ear. And then even when it's in front of him he can barely make sense of it. I mean, my husband, his father, whom I adored so much, actually

passed away from Alzheimer's and my husband even says jokes. He literally is like having my dad lead the country when he had Alzheimer's. It's scary. I mean, the man is senile and I love him but he's not somebody who should be in charge of our country. But then I do feel sorry for you guys because the other option is Donald Trump.

Yeah, yes, we've got a sociopath and somebody who's senile. They're both terrible options. Maybe get Hunter Biden out there. He'll never sleep. He'll get the job done. He'll certainly have a little bit more energy and gusto than his dad okay we're gonna talk movies right now because it's been not great for the movies we understand particularly in america but it seems like bad boys this new one uh the fourth one i

think with will smith is he back from slapgate i mean listen i think everybody's over slapgate it's just whether he's relevant or not i think he wasn't even really that relevant when slap gate happened and then that just sent him down into like a very deep dark ditch but at the same time he's a very beloved person prior to that he's always brought like i feel like joy to people and he's always been this like he's always given back and he's always just been this like jovial dude and then you saw that he was secretly in one of the movie theaters here and surprised everybody at one of the screenings right i saw that one yeah it was that he was secretly in one of the movie theaters here and surprised everybody at one of the screenings, right? Oh, really? Yeah, it was awesome.

He was watching it and then afterwards everyone went crazy. I don't know if he's back, but he's certainly made people happy and people were nostalgic for him and, you know, dying for the old Will Smith. So if anything, it helped that he put a Band-Aid on things, to put a Band-Aid on Slapgate. And also, like, in terms of what's happening in the world right now, him slapping Chris Rock.

Right. I mean, not great, but not, yeah, you're right. Yeah. Yeah, and I think everybody wants to just sort of, like, zone out and they want to laugh or be distracted, and I think that's exactly what that does, you know, in a movie like that. That did wonders for Chris Rock's career too, didn't it?

I mean, seriously. Seriously, how long did he make people wait for him to speak? Right? I mean, you really like just built the suspense about that. He was like, I'll speak when I'm ready to speak. And once he was finally ready to speak, he made millions and millions of dollars waiting, you know,

with us waiting and ready to breath. I'd take 10 slaps. I'd take 10 slaps if I did. Oh, totally, yeah. Especially at the Oscars. Punch me all day long. Nicole, now we've got you with us right now. And Megan, we've been debating Travis Kelsey relationship with Taylor Swift. Now, Megan's starting to feel like there's some red flags going on, right, Megan? So, yeah, they're giving me rub.

I just feel like Taylor Swift, she's kissed a lot of frogs. And so I'm just looking out for her. I feel like there's been a couple of red flags with Travis Kelsey. We feel she's being a bit too hard on Travis Kelsey. He's a bit of a lab at the same time. He speaks well on his podcast. What are your thoughts on Travis Kelsey? Don't talk

bad about my man. That's my man. I like it. I'm like obsessed with him and yes, she has kissed a lot of frogs. I'm interested to know what the red flags that are, like, kind of alerting you are because I feel like she's never dated someone like this. It's always been some, like, super artsy-fartsy actor, someone who's, like, this, like, seriously, like, deep, you know, musician. Like, she's never dated, like, a man. Like, he's a man.

He is a man. He could toss her around. Right? a man like he's a man he is a man he could toss her around right like he's a man and he's like like he's just all-american and i think he really is genuinely sweet so tell me the red flags that you're worried about the first one was the aggression at his coach at the super bowl which i know he apologized for that's what a man does yes that's what men do they yell at people she's scoffing no I know I know and they did

and he did apologise but I do think that he sort of lost control and I think I've seen we've seen lots of athletes do that but go ahead

it's okay Viva Las Vegas the bender that went for weeks and even I think she even got the ick at one point she was like

oh god not again he's singing this again that was I mean sort of an ick sort of a red flag I love a bender so that's like me so i mean no i think that he did you know listen he just did he just had this world

romance with one of the hugest pop stars ever probably the biggest pop star ever and then won the super bowl so i expected the bender to happen he had a lot of celebrating to do and unfortunately the camera was on him more than he normally would have yes it was a little bit much but i feel like it's nothing that my husband or my friends wouldn't have done if they had won the super bowl okay red flag number two cancelled yeah number three has just come out i don't know if you've seen it is a clip from six years ago uh but it is from watch what happens live he was asked um is it a deal breaker if the uh female doesn't sleep with you after the third date? And he said yes.

He kind of went, yeah. He said yes. Could be, yeah. He said yes. We're sticking up for him. We're sticking up for him. But do we know when they slept together? No.

No, we don't. Okay. So, like, maybe they slept together that first night. I'm pretty – actually, I'm not pretty sure. I'm actually positive that I slept with my now husband 15 minutes after we met. So don't judge me again. We're not getting into, like, what we did. I know, I know.

Listen, I think also anybody that goes on Watch What Happens Live is trying to, like, you know, they were doing things for shock value. So I think he was trying to probably, like, have fun and get Andy all riled up because that's what Andy likes. Do you know what? She's turned me. Oh, Nicole. Maybe I'm giving him a hard time. I hear you. 15 minutes with your now husband.

You went from zero to 100 there, Nicole. Did you? Yeah. I mean, listen, it was not, like, the norm for me, but I was extremely intoxicated, and it was 3.30 a.m., and I was on my way out, and then he found me. Nicole Rowan with us. Now, Nicole, you have a radio show, you have podcasts in America,

and New Zealand, we've talked about this before, we're fascinated by celebrities because we don't really have too many, and not too many come over this way. So we're going to check out some names from time to time and just find out if you've had any interaction with them. Any of the Kardashians ever come across? Have you been face-to-face with any of the Kardashians ever come up? Have you been face to face with any of the Kardashians ever? Yes.

We've had the whole family. I've had Chris, Chloe, Kylie, Courtney. I've never had Kendall and Kylie. I've had Chloe, Courtney,

like the actual Kardashians. I haven't had, yes, I haven't had the Jenner girls, but I've had them. And honestly, I know you're going to hate hearing this, but like,

they're probably the nicest celebrities I've ever met. And honestly, I know you're going to hate hearing this, but they're probably the nicest celebrities I've ever met. I feel like we pick up that vibe. For some reason, they get a lot of hate, but I feel like they seem like lovely, genuine people in a lot of ways. I've met Chloe, and that's always my line, is that she and Malika, her best friend,

went out of their way to be so nice. And I feel like you can't have a career for that long in Hollywood without being a nice person because people are so keen to cancel you. I think that they're so used to getting hate and they know that they could be cancelled in two seconds, that they're famous for being famous.

And even though they should be like, you know, get a pat on the back for how far they've come and they've built like billion dollar empires, I think they know that if they do, if they're one misstep, you know, one nasty mood mood one weird side eye or line when they're in the middle of it they know how to turn it on that it could all be over so they're really i think they're grateful for what they have

and it shows when they're in a studio or on tv or doing an interview what's the uh what's the vibe when they're in the room the vibe is like like fun. Like they're there to have fun. Like they're, they'll nothing's off limits. You could ask them anything, which is one of the things I respect because like, we'll get people come in. Like we'll get like a Taylor who comes in and before she sits down, they're like,

don't talk about this. Don't talk about this. Don't talk about this. And the Kardashians like, and I'm always like, it's my job to ask those questions. If they don't want to ask, it's like,

it's not my vibe to be like push and push and push. They don't want to ask it's like it's not my vibe to be like push and push and push they don't want to like talk about something they're a big girl or a big boy and they can say hey i don't want to talk about that and that's what the girls do they'll be like well they'll laugh it off and be like oh i don't know can we maybe do something else you know like that like you have to be media trained and they are and it's nice that i never i never have to deal with the public as being like no no no you do get that with the Taylor Swifts do you? A big rule list

most of them we get sometimes they ask for us to like they'll ask us to they want questions ahead of time and they want approval of the questions you get that we got that with Dua Lipa we got that with Zayn we got that with and we get that with a lot of them and I understand it's like the managers and the

public and the publicist's job to protect them but also we have a job to do so they make it a little bit difficult sometimes. So do you ever get a list of questions you're not allowed to ask and then just ask them anyway? Yes, of course you're joking. Listen, sometimes I get

creative, right? I'll try to like, I know the question they don't want me to ask and I'll find like a roundabout way to get there. You got to get creative because you don't want to piss them off and not have them bring that celebrity back or the other celebrities that they, you know, manage or their clients. You're more gutsy than us. We've even had the occasion where we've said

not to be asked questions about this topic and then the person has brought it up. I mean, you're like, what do we do now? They brought it up. You know, sometimes it feels like the artist or the entertainer doesn't even know about this list of questions that we can't ask. Exactly.

That happens often. Like, they'll say, don't talk about, like, so Zayn, I just said Zayn. So Zayn was here recently. They were like, don't talk about his kid. Okay, well, I mean, he lives with her. He's got his kid all the time. Don't talk about it.

And then all of a sudden, he wants to talk about his kid. So, like, am I supposed to be like, no, I let him go. He doesn't know about it. His people are telling us not to about it. And then all of a sudden he wants to talk about his kids. So like, am I supposed to be like, no, I let him go. He doesn't know about it. His people are telling us not to do it. When someone like Taylor Swift comes in, how many people are with her? How many people on that management team? There would be what, 20?

I mean, probably more. And then when she's like, we saw it change because we had her when she was like 14 or 15, like right when she started, we interviewed her. And then as she came, I mean, she's's never changed like she is a person is always amazing to us and is a sweetheart but that like the machine behind taylor swift is not so like the last time she was in the studio with us it felt like there was secret service it like anytime she moved around anywhere in the studio or in the like the lobby area there was like six or seven

bodyguards around her now granted she gets death threats she's got stalkers i mean she has like a you know they have to protect her and then everybody that's on the floor that day has to have a background check that is done so i had my daughter come up the last time she was there and they did a background check on a five-year-old they were gonna find but they they did do that. So yeah, it's intense. What about on the other end of the scale? Has anyone ever come up with no entourage and you're like, wow, they really should have been traveling

with a lot of people? Yeah, like Zedd came up with no entourage. A lot of the DJs do. Marshmello came up with no entourage, Zedd. Well, I mean, I'm sure Marshmello doesn't even worry. No one's going to see the actual face, right? Yeah, I wouldn't know what Marshmello looks like behind that helmet. Does he interview with his helmet on say it again

does he interview with his helmet on yes yes we had like special headphones that went into it there was he was never taking that thing off wow he was never he was so fun um it sounds perfect he's got a microphone in there he's got it all worked out thank you so much for your time we really love catching up with you it's a really fun thing to do every weekend well hopefully we'll do it again next week absolutely have a good one guys see ya hey thanks mate that was that was that was awesome very interesting thanks to cole yeah anytime guys
