00:10
Thank you for joining us to be here.
00:14
I always wanted to come to visit you guys.
00:17
Yeah, that's awesome.
00:18
Well, I'm glad you're here and and it's crazy,
00:21
like I I've noticed that you like do a lot of like
00:23
red carpets like in events and interviews.
00:27
It's fun. I mean,
00:29
ever since I moved to LA,
00:30
I got to do way more like movie premieres and stuff like
00:34
that and it's fun in the beginning.
00:36
I didn't like them to be honest because they are so crazy
00:40
You have to kind of like fight for the highlight,
00:42
you know, like sometimes you have people like you and mostly
00:47
guys like grown up men.
00:50
They are the worst in red carpets.
00:52
That's true. I see.
00:54
They are like, this is my spot and he's like,
00:56
hey, let's be friends like you like I'm a lady.
01:01
Yeah, we get her over here.
01:02
Then you ask a question,
01:04
I'll ask one and then we get her.
01:06
Yes, it's not need to be rude,
01:09
right? Especially because it's like,
01:12
it's a fun time.
01:13
But I think with younger people we are always like,
01:15
hey, it is more fun but,
01:18
but now I like them but I like it better when I
01:21
have the chance to do interviews.
01:23
Like 101. Even if you have like 10 minutes,
01:27
like, here with big sell ups,
01:28
they just give you 10 minutes sometimes three minutes.
01:31
Like, what, how can I do an interview in three
01:33
minutes? And you don't know how they're going to react either
01:35
Like, what kind of personality you're going to get?
01:38
Like, if you're like,
01:38
bubbly, like, you know,
01:40
we're like, ah,
01:41
I like that too.
01:42
You're like, you're like super buena on that,
01:45
you know, you're like super fun and they're like,
01:48
yeah, and I'm like,
01:49
yes, it was not your energy or sometimes you ask one
01:54
question and they answer like,
01:56
short answers and you have a list.
01:59
Ok? If I have 10 minutes,
02:01
maybe I will be able to do five questions in 1010 minutes
02:06
I always prepare 30 just in case you never know.
02:09
Some artists are like,
02:11
yeah, I really liked it.
02:13
Well, I feel the same way honestly just with 10 more
02:15
years and you're like,
02:18
ok, so it's always better to have like,
02:21
a lot of questions.
02:22
And for me, the key is to do like a very
02:25
very deep research.
02:27
So, you know who they are and maybe sometimes you say
02:31
something that they feel like,
02:33
oh, no, but I'm Australian and it's like,
02:35
you have to know that that person is Australian even though it's
02:39
been like the lead in many movies in the States.
02:42
Like, I don't know,
02:43
some things is like,
02:44
you have to know a lot about the person.
02:47
I checked her Instagram and right off the bat.
02:48
I saw my bay,
02:50
sorry, wifey. But like dua lipa,
02:53
I was like, oh my God,
02:54
dua lipa. I was like,
02:55
that's something we can talk about.
02:56
Do you love her music?
02:57
What's your Yeah, it's like,
02:59
so it's like, how do you like,
03:01
you have to know little things,
03:02
like little research things about their person in the Dua Lipa situation
03:06
I just met her at the Critic Choice Awards.
03:09
I wasn't like, but I was like standing like this just
03:13
move my hair and she was like this close to me.
03:16
And I was like,
03:17
I have Dua Lipa right next to me.
03:19
She is absolutely amazing.
03:21
I saw her first show in Argentina when nobody knew her.
03:25
I just have to talk to her and like,
03:27
hi Dua, really nice to meet you.
03:29
You're amazing. And she was like,
03:31
oh, really nice to meet you.
03:32
She was super nice.
03:33
We were just having a conversation and I told her,
03:36
yes, I told her,
03:37
I'm from Argentina and I went to your first concert in Argentina
03:41
in that small theater and I told her the name of the
03:44
theater and she was like,
03:45
oh, yes, no,
03:47
that's amazing. And she started to tell me things about that
03:50
show and she was like,
03:52
oh, I love your names.
03:53
Can I see who they are?
03:54
Amazing, blah, blah.
03:55
And we were talking about whatever and it was,
03:58
well, really nice to meet you.
03:59
Bye bye. And then I was like,
04:00
wait, I didn't even take a selfie.
04:04
You were just like,
04:06
how do you bring the energy up?
04:07
Like if the guest is like,
04:09
too chill, you know,
04:10
I know we kind of touched on that earlier.
04:12
But how do you like,
04:13
well, I feel that the first seconds right before the interview
04:17
start are so important because first of all,
04:20
it is the first impression they are gonna have of you.
04:23
Last week when I interviewed Kate Blanchett and Jamie Dears,
04:26
I had my other favorite shoes today.
04:30
I have one of my favorite.
04:31
I have to see them on camera.
04:34
So I have two pairs of favorite shoes.
04:38
So I have a lot,
04:38
I don't know, but I,
04:40
I wore the other ones that were super colorful.
04:42
So every, like since I walk in the set,
04:46
they both were like talking nonstop about my outfit.
04:50
Like they were like those shoes,
04:52
blah, blah. And I only had 10 minutes.
04:55
They were like, ok,
04:56
say your name and your outlet.
04:58
I was like, I want to start,
04:59
but I didn't want to interrupt them.
05:00
Then I was like,
05:01
hey, this is my job.
05:02
I have to cut them I was like,
05:04
well, welcome, blah,
05:06
blah, blah. I think they kept talking about it,
05:09
but it was fun and then I post everything and everybody was
05:14
like, oh yes,
05:14
I would say the same about this show.
05:17
That's cool. But I feel like that,
05:19
like human interest. I agree.
05:21
It's so nice. Oh,
05:22
for sure. Like it just looks effortless.
05:25
Like it's not forced.
05:26
I feel like sometimes when,
05:27
I don't know when an interview is to interview e like it's
05:30
not as pleasant to watch,
05:33
but when people are genuinely connecting and having like a human conversation
05:36
connection, it's like something else.
05:38
It's beautiful to watch that with your advice.
05:41
Now, I feel like I can take that in too.
05:43
So like I really appreciate it.
05:45
Thank you. Thank you.
05:47
People follow you and keep up with the interview because everywhere is
05:53
DTA, I have a TV show called The Big Deal on
05:56
Latin Nation. You can watch it too.
05:58
It's about entertainment. So that's why I interview a lot of
06:02
like artists and red carpets and stuff.
06:06
Thank you so much.
06:08
Thank you guys. You guys.
