Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: This is Almost Famous Podcast.
Speaker 3: We have a very special episode today, a very unique episode,
Speaker 3: something we don't get to do very often, right because
Speaker 3: there's only one show that we can really do it
Speaker 3: with in this kind of format. Ashley, tell all of
Speaker 3: our listeners who we have today.
Speaker 4: We have Natalie who is Pascal's daughter, and we have
Speaker 4: her here today to give us all the deeds about
Speaker 4: her dad. Listen, we are so compelled by him, so
Speaker 4: we're so excited to know what it was like growing
Speaker 4: up with him and how he uses a dad. So
Speaker 4: can we start with like day one, the.
Speaker 5: Day one from birth?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have to say growing up with him is
Speaker 6: he honestly was like the best dad. He is very energetic,
Speaker 6: as you guys can tell. So we were always doing things.
Speaker 6: We went to every Disney on Ice show. Obviously, my
Speaker 6: hair was always pristine. Was actually the one to always
Speaker 6: do my hair in those cute little butterfly clips and
Speaker 6: those tight cute ponytails.
Speaker 5: He was a great dad growing up.
Speaker 4: Honestly, your dad owns a salon? Is it a medspo?
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, okay, it.
Speaker 3: Is Okay, hold up, I need to pause you there though.
Speaker 3: Is it multiple because we don't have to get into
Speaker 3: his personal finances or how you two have lived in
Speaker 3: the world, But at least from the first couple of weeks,
Speaker 3: it would seem that this medspa has done very well
Speaker 3: for him.
Speaker 5: It has done very well.
Speaker 6: Yes, he started with one downtown, so that's the one
Speaker 6: that he had when I was younger.
Speaker 5: Then yes, in Chicago.
Speaker 6: Then he opened another one in the suburb, and then
Speaker 6: he closed both of those and then opened a big one,
Speaker 6: and then he started to kind of branch out and
Speaker 6: then realized that he didn't really want to franchise, and
Speaker 6: now he just has the one and he's like semi
Speaker 6: retired and he only works a couple days a week
Speaker 6: now and travels a lot.
Speaker 4: So so did he start out as a hair stylist?
Speaker 5: He started sweeping the floors?
Speaker 4: Actually amazing, that's right. He told us that on the
Speaker 4: one episode, the one date.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was an assistant.
Speaker 4: What drew him to esthetics? And has he always been
Speaker 4: so metrosexual? Which we have kind of retired that word,
Speaker 4: but your dad fits it perfectly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess would you categorize him as like metro
Speaker 3: I would.
Speaker 6: Say that he definitely cares about the way he looks
Speaker 6: and the way he dresses and his appearance.
Speaker 5: For sure. Yeah, would I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't know if he can say he's Metro, but
Speaker 6: quite possibly, I would say it drew him to.
Speaker 5: Hair was his cousin.
Speaker 6: I believe it's his cousin, Charles Eifergen, and he started
Speaker 6: kind of working with him and then decided that he
Speaker 6: kind of wanted to go to hair school, and then
Speaker 6: saved up all of his dollars and opened up his
Speaker 6: first salon.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's a really cool story, uh, to
Speaker 3: see the progress when you when you take your dad
Speaker 3: and your family's life as a whole and see kind
Speaker 3: of how it has gotten to this point that now
Speaker 3: he's on national television. Yeah, we're going to get back
Speaker 3: to kind of the story of all that and how
Speaker 3: you grew up. You're obviously living in Canada now yourself.
Speaker 2: What brought you there? That's not where he's living, right.
Speaker 5: No, my dad lives in Chicago.
Speaker 6: So when my parents separated, my mom continued to work
Speaker 6: at the salon for years. Like they're there. They still
Speaker 6: get along like great to this day. They have a
Speaker 6: great like hope parenting relationship. And then my mom wasn't
Speaker 6: working at the salon anymore, and so she's like, I think.
Speaker 5: I'm going to go back. My mom's from Canada, so.
Speaker 6: Like, I think I'm to go back to Canada with
Speaker 6: my family and stuff like that. And so I moved
Speaker 6: to Canada when I was about eight, and then my
Speaker 6: dad flew me out to Chicago every Friday after school.
Speaker 6: Every Sunday, I'd get back on a plane to be
Speaker 6: back at school on Monday. And that happened for probably
Speaker 6: the first two years I lived here. I was a
Speaker 6: very frequent flyer. And then I started like getting friends
Speaker 6: and birthday parties, and I started getting into horses and
Speaker 6: having competitions, and I was like, I don't want to
Speaker 6: go every weekend anymore. And so it kind of started
Speaker 6: like getting slower and slower. And then I went to
Speaker 6: hair school in Chicago. I lived there for about a
Speaker 6: year again and then came back to Canada.
Speaker 4: So all right, so I'm very interested on how your
Speaker 4: parents met and what their relationship was like, because that's
Speaker 4: something we didn't get from him on that date.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so my parents, Okay, so my mom was actually
Speaker 6: a model and my dad was a hairstylist, and they
Speaker 6: actually just learned the story the other day. They they
Speaker 6: ended up at the same event and he sent one
Speaker 6: of his friends to go talk to my mom and
Speaker 6: she was like no, like whatever, and then somehow she
Speaker 6: ended up giving her his friend her number, and the
Speaker 6: two girls kind of started communicating, and then she passed
Speaker 6: along the message to my dad, and my dad was like,
Speaker 6: just come out with me, come out with me, and
Speaker 6: she's like, okay, fine, and then they started dating. They
Speaker 6: moved in together after two months, and they were together
Speaker 6: for about seven or eight years, I.
Speaker 3: Believe, so in this time period in their life. Do
Speaker 3: you know how your dad, as a married man, never
Speaker 3: did his own laundry.
Speaker 6: Uh, honestly, I'm not gonna lie. Like from birth, I
Speaker 6: don't recall him ever doing it. I don't recall him
Speaker 6: ever cooking. The only thing he's actually made, actually I
Speaker 6: have a video of it somewhere, was him actually cooking
Speaker 6: a pasta one night, and I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 6: you use your pots and pants. I thought they were
Speaker 6: just here for show. He's done that and actually makes
Speaker 6: a really good salad dressing. I have to say, those
Speaker 6: are the two things that I've actually seen him kind
Speaker 6: of put together. And this was I think just like
Speaker 6: last year or the year before that, I saw him
Speaker 6: actually use his pots and pans for the first time.
Speaker 6: It was like a documenting moment. But no ever since then,
Speaker 6: ever since I was little, we went up for breakfast, lunch,
Speaker 6: and dinner, usually a nice dinner every night. He has
Speaker 6: his dinners planned out. He's very organized, even when we
Speaker 6: go on trips, like he pre plans where we're eating dinner. No,
Speaker 6: like we always had a housekeeper, Like I remember having
Speaker 6: a nanny and a housekeeper. And he just he's just
Speaker 6: never done it. And I think that maybe like since
Speaker 6: he started, maybe like the machines of like the laundry
Speaker 6: machines have changed. He's like this is just too complicated
Speaker 6: now and he just doesn't do it anymore. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I know, he's just he's just never done it.
Speaker 4: Okay, So the METSPA must be doing very well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's pretty he's pretty successful for sure. It's
Speaker 6: definitely in a pretty high end area in the North
Speaker 6: Shorre of Chicago. Yeah, and a lot of his clients,
Speaker 6: I would say the people that come to the sun
Speaker 6: are pretty well off and yeah, it's very busy every
Speaker 6: time I go in there.
Speaker 4: So my dad also has never done his laundry since
Speaker 4: they've been married. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 6: Really, Okay, so it's not that weird. Everyone's like freaking out.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: I no, I don't think that that's I personally growing
Speaker 4: up the way I did. My dad doesn't touch laundry.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like I hear have laundry when I was nineteen, Like,
Speaker 6: for the first time, my girlfriend I my launder off
Speaker 6: at my mom's house and she's like, natally, you have
Speaker 6: to stop doing this, like this is embarrassing.
Speaker 4: I did the same thing my freshman year of college.
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, Mom, I guess you should teach me.
Speaker 4: And then I ended up just bringing it home every weekend.
Speaker 5: That's what I did.
Speaker 4: If only I had known it was so easy to do,
Speaker 4: I would have been fine.
Speaker 6: So easy, I know, but it's just I just was like,
Speaker 6: oh my god, I'm to ruin something. Or my dad
Speaker 6: always like kind of made it seem kind of scary.
Speaker 6: He's like, well, you know, your clothes are gonna drink
Speaker 6: and like like.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Like, yeah, my mom has always been
Speaker 4: the one who's like he should dries jeans out of
Speaker 4: the dryer like ings them. So I thought that there
Speaker 4: was like some science to everything, and really I just.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's actually very simple.
Speaker 3: As interesting as this is, I do want to talk
Speaker 3: to you, Natalie uh And on the Almost Fumous podcast.
Speaker 3: You can always tell us what we're wrong, please, Like
Speaker 3: if I say something here and you're like, no, you're
Speaker 3: actually so far off for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like I definitely do that. As it
Speaker 5: is with my dad.
Speaker 2: Good good, I'm comfortable with that. I am. I am married.
Speaker 2: So's there.
Speaker 3: Your dad is an interesting I think he's been compelling
Speaker 3: to me for multiple reasons. One, he is a personality.
Speaker 3: The other side of it is it feels like out
Speaker 3: of a lot of the guys, and he's not the
Speaker 3: only one, but it feels I mean, he's definitely one
Speaker 3: of a few that came in with just a lot
Speaker 3: of joy I mean, there wasn't this like, you know, hey,
Speaker 3: I'm going to wait to tell you this story moment
Speaker 3: where it's like this has been a pivotal point in
Speaker 3: my life and I'm still trying to get over it
Speaker 3: kind of thing. It's like he didn't have that story. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And so it was always a I'm here for a
Speaker 3: different reason. So I wanted to say that and see
Speaker 3: if you agreed or disagreed. And then the question of
Speaker 3: that is, what reason did he even go on this
Speaker 3: show for outside of the obvious of potentially finding love
Speaker 3: one day?
Speaker 2: Like what, what do you think is real?
Speaker 3: Like, because Ashley and I've been on the show, one
Speaker 3: person gets picked, you know, it's not the only reason
Speaker 3: you go on the show, So what was it?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 6: So for your first question, I actually just talked to
Speaker 6: him about this yesterday and I was like, I feel like.
Speaker 5: You can kind of see it in the show.
Speaker 6: I think that she kind of gravitates towards him because
Speaker 6: her dates with him are like lighthearted, do you know
Speaker 6: what I mean? Whereas like some of those other dates
Speaker 6: are so heavy, and you know, at the age that
Speaker 6: all these men are at, you know, some of their wives,
Speaker 6: you know, have died, and some of them you know,
Speaker 6: like have been through a divorce or two and things
Speaker 6: like that. You know, like they've had all these things
Speaker 6: and maybe they're not over them. And you can see
Speaker 6: that a lot in the show. And I think that
Speaker 6: my dad kind of just brings that like lightness out
Speaker 6: kind of in her, and I think that it's really
Speaker 6: nice to see. Like I've talked to many of my
Speaker 6: friends and people who are watching the show and they're like,
Speaker 6: they just have fun. So yeah, I definitely have noticed
Speaker 6: that as well. And I was just talking to him
Speaker 6: about that yesterday as well, because I've been obviously watching it.
Speaker 6: And for the second question, so, I don't know if
Speaker 6: you guys know what. I signed him up for the
Speaker 6: show in januey you know, yeah, so I signed him
Speaker 6: up in January. It was actually really funny. We were
Speaker 6: in Mexico and I was asking all these questions because
Speaker 6: it's a long questionnaire, and I was.
Speaker 5: Like, so like who, like what would your ideal date be?
Speaker 5: And then I'm like typing on my phone.
Speaker 6: He's like what are you doing? Like what I was like,
Speaker 6: I'm signing up for a show. He's like, what show?
Speaker 5: And then I told him. He's like, you're joking me.
Speaker 5: I'm like, nope, we have forty more questions to go.
Speaker 5: Let's let's keep moving here.
Speaker 6: And so, uh, we were kind of I was showing
Speaker 6: him who the women are and kind of like an
Speaker 6: inclination of you know who I thought was potentially going
Speaker 6: to be the Golden Bacherette, and he actually picked her
Speaker 6: like out of everyone too. He's like, I'm just I'm
Speaker 6: really attracted her. We kind of like did a little
Speaker 6: deep dive on her and he's like, no, he's like that,
Speaker 6: like that's her. And so on his first night there
Speaker 6: when he said, I'm telling you, like I wouldn't be
Speaker 6: here if it wasn't you, it's that's one hundred percent true.
Speaker 6: He was actually really excited, like he's been really excited
Speaker 6: to you know, get to know her and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: So it's been It definitely was her from from the
Speaker 6: second he found out.
Speaker 5: He was excited.
Speaker 6: He went through a lot of the process not knowing
Speaker 6: and he was one hundred percent certain about going on
Speaker 6: the show when he actually found out that it was Joan.
Speaker 4: Gosh, so cute. Well, next week we're seeing hometowns. Were
Speaker 4: you there? I was there, Yeah, so give us a
Speaker 4: little review.
Speaker 6: I don't want to say too much, but I definitely
Speaker 6: think that she's lovely and as you guys probably saw
Speaker 6: in the previewly curR interaction with my son was absolutely adorable.
Speaker 5: My son really liked her, and.
Speaker 4: I knew that would have been his grandson because they
Speaker 4: didn't really specify, but I was like, that guy has
Speaker 4: like a look, he's got his hair done perfectly. That
Speaker 4: is not to be Pascal's. It's a grandson. Adorable. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's a good looking kid.
Speaker 5: He's a cutie for sure.
Speaker 6: I would say that the hometown I think went pretty
Speaker 6: well and I'm excited to see kind of episode.
Speaker 3: I guess, have you seen your dad date here in
Speaker 3: the last few years just in real life?
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say, like anything serious. I think that he's
Speaker 6: like casually kind of dated. I think that my dad,
Speaker 6: I know that he has like deep down, I know
Speaker 6: he doesn't really talk about on the show. I know
Speaker 6: he does have a little bit of of fear. I
Speaker 6: would say, I do think that it doesn't always like
Speaker 6: come out as fear, but I feel like there is
Speaker 6: a little bit of fear just from you know, his
Speaker 6: past relationships. I think that his relationships have been very
Speaker 6: like surface level. It's been like a couple of dates
Speaker 6: type thing, never really leading anywhere type relationships. Is kind
Speaker 6: of what I've seen or heard of. Yeah, it's been
Speaker 6: very casual. But I mean the past year and a half,
Speaker 6: I have heard him say like I want to find
Speaker 6: that person like I just I want to find that
Speaker 6: person that wants to adventure him at that point in
Speaker 6: my life where like I want a partner that we
Speaker 6: can just like go to Paris and go to Italy
Speaker 6: and go to Africa and go do all these things.
Speaker 6: And he wants to have that person that wants the
Speaker 6: same adventure as him.
Speaker 5: And yeah, from the sounds of Retizan's life, Jones kind
Speaker 5: of making the.
Speaker 2: Cat Yeah she's down for that.
Speaker 3: It's uh so okay, So is it weird to see
Speaker 3: him on TV then taking off his shirt showing uh
Speaker 3: an actually insane amount of abs for a man his age.
Speaker 5: Yeah, his abs are definitely circulating the internet at the moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like is it weird for you, Like, what does
Speaker 3: it feel like as a child? Yeah, seeing that, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm not having friends probably tell you, hey, like he
Speaker 3: doesn't work out?
Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, I was definitely doing a little bit of this.
Speaker 6: I feel like he's a very funny guy and I
Speaker 6: wouldn't expect any less of him, but I definitely wasn't
Speaker 6: expecting to see so much of that.
Speaker 4: Speaking of Yeah, he's very.
Speaker 5: Confident in who he is and I mean, yeah.
Speaker 4: Go dad, Well, we got hometowns coming up, and if
Speaker 4: your dad gets through oh hometowns, Yes, we have hometowns
Speaker 4: coming up, but if he gets through those, we have
Speaker 4: the fantasy suites. How how weird awkward is that conversation?
Speaker 4: Did you think this far ahead when you signed him up?
Speaker 6: Honestly, No, I know that my dad's such a big personality,
Speaker 6: and I knew that it was going to go one
Speaker 6: of two ways. I knew that she was either really
Speaker 6: gonna like like him or she wasn't gonna like him
Speaker 6: at all, and so I wasn't really thinking too far
Speaker 6: ahead with what that was going to look like.
Speaker 5: Now that we're almost potentially there.
Speaker 6: I'm definitely wondering how that's gonna go. Just even watching
Speaker 6: my dad like make out with her, I'm like, that's
Speaker 6: a lot, that's a lot. But no, I I mean,
Speaker 6: we're just gonna have to see him.
Speaker 2: It's so good.
Speaker 3: I can't you know what I hope for, just after
Speaker 3: meeting you and just the way you shine and the
Speaker 3: way you're handling this. I hope because this is how
Speaker 3: I am as a human. I hope we see them
Speaker 3: that morning scene where they're both like cook a coffee
Speaker 3: and I just want to. I'm going to watch it
Speaker 3: and think, Oh, Natalie's watching this too, and she hates this, and.
Speaker 4: I think, you know, all assuming that he makes it
Speaker 4: that far, Yeah, the assumption has to be there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think that now that we're kind
Speaker 6: of getting down to the wire, I think people are
Speaker 6: really starting to think about who that last person's going to,
Speaker 6: because I mean, there's not many guys left, and after Hometowns,
Speaker 6: it's really down to the final wire.
Speaker 5: So we'll have to see how she goes.
Speaker 3: One storyline that I was curious about that didn't that
Speaker 3: hasn't got talked about, but I thought it was really
Speaker 3: sweet and I do think it was a moment for Mark,
Speaker 3: but it was also a moment for your dad. I know. Well, yeah,
Speaker 3: like your dad says, he was my best friend. You know,
Speaker 3: Mark's obviously gone from the show. No matter what happens
Speaker 3: with your dad. Have they kept in contact? You know,
Speaker 3: we have friendships that last from this show. We Asha
Speaker 3: and I both have that ourselves. Does it feel did
Speaker 3: it like what made them connect so much? And have
Speaker 3: they talked?
Speaker 6: My dad definitely has stayed in contact with some of
Speaker 6: the guys, for sure. There was an article that Greg
Speaker 6: wrote saying that they're all planned. They're going to plan
Speaker 6: like this big trip, like all like the guys, and
Speaker 6: they're all excited to hang out outside of the show.
Speaker 6: I think with Mark they had a lot of really
Speaker 6: in depth conversations. And I think that my dad has
Speaker 6: a really tough time being vulnerable, and he actually says
Speaker 6: that in the show. And I think that Mark is
Speaker 6: just such like a calming presence.
Speaker 5: To him that he.
Speaker 6: Kind of opened up a lot to Mark, and Mark
Speaker 6: definitely opened up a lot to him. And yeah, I
Speaker 6: think he was He was very sad to see him.
Speaker 4: Go oh, I was so sad and yet so sweet.
Speaker 6: I know, I'm going to say, I've never seen my
Speaker 6: dad cry in thirty three years. I've never seen him cry.
Speaker 6: So to see him cry on the show, I was like, what.
Speaker 4: Over Mars elimination?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, oh my god, that's so sweet.
Speaker 4: That's what makes this show so good is that there
Speaker 4: is the relationships between men.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: So, your dad had a conversation with Joan a couple
Speaker 4: of weeks ago where she felt like he wasn't pursuing
Speaker 4: her enough on a group date. How did you feel
Speaker 4: about that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I mean, I know my dad, and I
Speaker 6: know he's not aggressive. He's just not like that. And
Speaker 6: I know that, Like we kind of talked about it
Speaker 6: before the show. I asked him kind of like what
Speaker 6: he was thinking, Like, it's he's gonna like I mean,
Speaker 6: he was the first person to grab her, which I
Speaker 6: was like, wow, well the first night, but he's like,
Speaker 6: I'm just He's like, I'm just not an aggressive personality
Speaker 6: like that. He's like, I'm just not going to be
Speaker 6: the one kind of trying to take up all of
Speaker 6: her attention. And so I think that that's kind of
Speaker 6: where he was going with that. He's just like, I
Speaker 6: am who I am, and we're going to get time
Speaker 6: to talk, but I'm not gonna be like talking the
Speaker 6: last episode, he's like, I'm just not gonna hover and
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna kind of let her have her time
Speaker 6: and then when we get time to get time type thing.
Speaker 6: And I know that's kind of been his approach the
Speaker 6: whole time. I think now you saw him saying, well,
Speaker 6: you didn't even let anyone else talk to her, And
Speaker 6: now it's kind of getting real where he's like, okay,
Speaker 6: like everyone, we need to all like be on the
Speaker 6: same page here. Everyone needs time with her type thing,
Speaker 6: like we're getting down to the wire and we need
Speaker 6: those moments.
Speaker 3: So it's a breath of fresh air, especially with the
Speaker 3: background check some of these guys are getting. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm pretty yeah, I'm pretty stoked to have a guy
Speaker 3: be like, hey, you know what, there's an appropriate time
Speaker 3: and not. And I've enjoyed seeing that evolution in him,
Speaker 3: honestly with when it comes to saying no, you know what,
Speaker 3: I'm actually feeling something for Joan now, I'd like to
Speaker 3: stand up and like get time with her. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: this is kind of where this closes for me, and
Speaker 3: it take as much time as you need. Obviously, you
Speaker 3: sign him up for the show. We know that now.
Speaker 3: So you believe in your dad and you love your
Speaker 3: dad and you want to see him happy.
Speaker 2: Yes, But if.
Speaker 3: Joan was sitting this, because she does listen to the
Speaker 3: most famous podcast she does, and she'll definitely be listening
Speaker 3: to this.
Speaker 2: One, I know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you were to sit down with Joan before
Speaker 3: this whole thing start and say this is who my
Speaker 3: dad is and this is why I want to see
Speaker 3: him happy, what would you have said?
Speaker 6: I probably would have said that my dad has honestly
Speaker 6: one of the biggest hearts out there, and he genuinely
Speaker 6: does like he is the most giving, caring person that
Speaker 6: you will ever meet. He does sometimes have walls up,
Speaker 6: and you know, I mean rightfully, so I know I'm
Speaker 6: kind of the same way. It does take him a
Speaker 6: little bit to kind of get there. And if she's
Speaker 6: patient with him and really just you know, gives him
Speaker 6: that time to like get to know her, that I
Speaker 6: think that they could have like such an incredible relationship.
Speaker 6: And just the fact that you know, she wants adventured
Speaker 6: and she seems to want all the things that he wants.
Speaker 6: I think that, you know, they could actually have a
Speaker 6: really amazing life together and to give him the chance
Speaker 6: for sure.
Speaker 4: My last question for you is your dad has such
Speaker 4: a rags to riches story. He talked about how you know,
Speaker 4: his father said you can get a pair of new
Speaker 4: shoes once you've earned the money to buy it. And
Speaker 4: he moved to America. He obviously did very well for himself. Yeah,
Speaker 4: is your grandpa still around and how did they feel
Speaker 4: about No about.
Speaker 6: Your grandpa did pass away. My Grandma's still alive. I
Speaker 6: actually haven't asked him if he told her about any
Speaker 6: of this. But my next question, like his grandma watching
Speaker 6: this because like hopefully you'll have a heart of that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: so she's still alive. Actually went and visited her and
Speaker 6: some of my family in Paris a couple of years
Speaker 6: ago as my sister. But no, my grandpa is not
Speaker 6: alive anymore. I think that you know my dad's story still,
Speaker 6: it kind of makes me tear up to this day
Speaker 6: a little bit. I think that he definitely has come
Speaker 6: a long way and he's definitely made something of him
Speaker 6: and he hasn't he hasn't he hasn't come from like
Speaker 6: he's come from nothing basically, and just kind of seeing
Speaker 6: where he is today is like a huge inspiration to
Speaker 6: me and hopefully to a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Natalie closed us out here. Obviously, we've talked about your
Speaker 3: dad a lot. We've talked about how great he is,
Speaker 3: how great he was to you, is to you, all
Speaker 3: those things. A little bit about Joan, just to close
Speaker 3: us out here, as you've watched Joan on this journey
Speaker 3: through her kind of struggles moving on from the past,
Speaker 3: but also excitement towards the future, her curiosity towards your dad,
Speaker 3: do you still believe they could be a great match.
Speaker 3: You just said it earlier, but about Joan specifically, do
Speaker 3: you think she would make a great match for your dad.
Speaker 6: I do, and obviously after meeting her, I feel strongly
Speaker 6: about that. I feel like she definitely has a young spirit,
Speaker 6: and I think that that's kind of what my dad's
Speaker 6: looking for.
Speaker 5: I think she presents herself well. She's a very classy lady,
Speaker 5: which my dad said.
Speaker 6: I think she, you know, is family oriented, she has grandkids,
Speaker 6: and I feel like she's looking for adventure and someone
Speaker 6: who's just gonna not make her forget her husband necessarily,
Speaker 6: but just like make her how do I word that,
Speaker 6: I feel like, just make her kind of bring like
Speaker 6: that happiness back out and make her feel.
Speaker 5: Like it's possible to fall in love again.
Speaker 6: And I do think that their relationships just not very
Speaker 6: not very heavy, and it's lighthearted, and I think that's
Speaker 6: maybe what's she's looking for as someone just to kind
Speaker 6: of have fun with and enjoy the rest of her
Speaker 6: life with. So I think that they are a good fit,
Speaker 6: and I think Joan is a good fit for my dad.
Speaker 6: So we'll have to see what happens.
Speaker 3: Your dad is definitely somebody you can have a good
Speaker 3: time with.

Speaker 6: good time guy, for sure.

Speaker 3: a perspective on Pascal. I'm rooting for him right now
Speaker 3: like he already was. But I really want to see
Speaker 3: them together.

Speaker 4: think Chock was a little bit aggressed. I don't know
Speaker 4: how I felt about Shock after this last episode. So
