Speaker 1: think I have. I was once a matchmaker, you were
Speaker 1: I in New York City. You told me this, it's

Speaker 1: in New Jersey as well. It was the director there,
Speaker 1: and we used to set up people on lunch dates.
Speaker 1: Correct have one in Chicago started in Chicago.

Speaker 3: I'm always like, that's fun.
Speaker 1: Okay, listeners, I'm sorry, we digress. Get let's get back
Speaker 1: to it, the Kelly and the Pescal of it all. Okay, guys, first,
Speaker 1: did either one of you, let's be honest, watch the
Speaker 1: other on TV before coming to NAPA. Did you do
Speaker 1: any googling? No? No, that was easy.
Speaker 2: All right, that was great, Pascal.
Speaker 1: Did you get any intel on Kelly from Gary who
Speaker 1: went on the date with her?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: Actually, Gary speak very very highly about Kelly. He had
Speaker 6: a wonderful time. He was an incredible experience. He actually
Speaker 6: had a good feeling for you.
Speaker 2: You wish to see you more, That's what he says.
Speaker 2: I'm the matchmaker has the only nice time to say
Speaker 2: about you.
Speaker 6: You had a wonderful, wonderful experience, and you were a
Speaker 6: great host. And I think you still text messaging with
Speaker 6: your shadow time to time.
Speaker 2: I'm wi Yeah, he's so nice. Yeah, he's a great girl.
Speaker 3: By my Instagram, he's very sweet, sweet guy.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, okay, but well Gary's not here, so now
Speaker 1: that okay, sorry, okay, Now I'm moving.
Speaker 2: To Kelly question.
Speaker 3: Love Gary, But now we're moving on.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I have all these questions for you guys,
Speaker 1: but I feel like now that I've spoken to you
Speaker 1: each individually, I understand a little bit better about you
Speaker 1: know what's this? Very in this very small amount of time,
Speaker 1: I feel like we've all we're all sort of on
Speaker 1: the same page. And here's why. I'll say what I think,
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna ask you both what you think.
Speaker 1: It seems to me that you guys met, you both
Speaker 1: had very similar things to say. Both of you felt
Speaker 1: like the other was attractive, very attractive. As a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, you both were very complimentary of each other
Speaker 1: in terms of your physicality. No surprise there. You both
Speaker 1: happened to be gorgeous, okay, and you both have had
Speaker 1: only lovely things to say about the other. You know
Speaker 1: that that incredible person, so nice, all of the most
Speaker 1: fabulous adjectives. Kelly said first that she didn't get from
Speaker 1: you the feeling that you were so interested committed to
Speaker 1: the date you got up and left. You guys were
Speaker 1: sitting together and you were not there for a lot
Speaker 1: of that time period, and Pascal, you said to me
Speaker 1: that Kelly was so pretty and so charismatic, but you
Speaker 1: could just tell that there wasn't necessarily that spark, right, Yes,
Speaker 1: And so I feel like you guys were kind of Kelly.
Speaker 1: Kelly did say that she would have been more open
Speaker 1: because what she's been through in life, even though maybe
Speaker 1: she didn't feel doesn't feel always an initial spark. She
Speaker 1: likes to give it a little bit more of a chance.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm pretty correct me if I'm saying
Speaker 1: anything here that's not true.
Speaker 2: You guys are true, true, true.
Speaker 1: I mean, you both said lovely things about each other,
Speaker 1: but Kelly might have been a little more open because
Speaker 1: of what she's been through and she wants to be
Speaker 1: more open like that. Pascal. For you, it's either you
Speaker 1: feel it or you don't. You said that you would
Speaker 1: love to be friends with Kelly, keep it touch with
Speaker 1: Kelly because she's an amazing person. You just didn't feel
Speaker 1: that initial spark.
Speaker 2: Yes. Yes.
Speaker 5: One thing I thought that was really interesting is when
Speaker 5: you were sitting in the printer van and we were
Speaker 5: all talking about you and being on the Golden Bachelorette,
Speaker 5: and what you said about the like unraveling of the
Speaker 5: relationship between you and you're and the bachelorette that you
Speaker 5: instead of just like going into the fantasy in suites
Speaker 5: and having this moment that you wanted to like talk
Speaker 5: to her one on one and you know, have that moment.
Speaker 5: And I thought, I really like that just was like
Speaker 5: very I thought that was amazing.
Speaker 2: I thought that was really amazing. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6: But I want I want to say one tent because
Speaker 6: I thank you. You know I was sitting with you.
Speaker 6: I want you to understand that I'm a very hyper
Speaker 6: kind of guy. I can't I can't sit still for
Speaker 6: a long period of time. I need to move.
Speaker 2: No, you're so nice to get me if you want
Speaker 2: because I.
Speaker 6: Needed to move, If you want someone because I needed
Speaker 6: to move, I cannot see it.
Speaker 2: It's very hard for me to see.
Speaker 6: So right, I don't think that was trying to have
Speaker 6: boy the convexation with you because.
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying the conversation.
Speaker 6: She's trying to she's move my ears. I'm even sitting
Speaker 6: here away night. It's kind of hard for me alect you.
Speaker 1: Guys.
Speaker 2: This is what I have a question.
Speaker 3: What's signing virgo Virgo?
Speaker 2: I'm a Taurus.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means men.
Speaker 3: For high my name is gentleman le.
Speaker 5: I don't I don't actually know. I I know about
Speaker 5: like friendship relationships. I don't know about for male male
Speaker 5: and female relationships.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm thinking right now. I think that we
Speaker 1: are so evolved. I feel like this is the perfect
Speaker 1: I wish for our listeners to have this type of
Speaker 1: attitude and specifically what I'm commenting on Pescal You've been
Speaker 1: nothing but lovely, but you didn't feel the spark, and Kelly,
Speaker 1: You're like you're You're like, listen, you were so nice,
Speaker 1: you are lovely. This is the idea, guys, I think again,
Speaker 1: who am I idea? What I'm talking about?
Speaker 3: But you're a matchmaker.
Speaker 1: I was a matchmaker.
Speaker 3: Yes, no, no, was a matchmaker, always a matchmaker.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is how dating should be approached, right,
Speaker 1: like respectful kind and also like not it's not the
Speaker 1: end of the world, like Kelly. A million guys are
Speaker 1: gonna line up for Kelly, Ben Simone. We know this, right,
Speaker 1: She's not just because she's beautiful, because Piscal's you said.
Speaker 1: Not everything is about beautiful, right, It's about Kelly being
Speaker 1: Kelly and the experience it comes with that Pascal. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I don't think either one of you are going to
Speaker 1: have a hard time finding a date. But what a
Speaker 1: great opportunity to sit down in this way, get to
Speaker 1: know each other, you know, share some things about each other,
Speaker 1: become friends. Who knows. I hope that you'll keep in touch.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're going to meet someone or Kelly, because you
Speaker 1: said that happens to you a lot where you're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, he's not for me, but he might
Speaker 1: be for my friend, Pascal, I don't know. One of
Speaker 1: your friends might say, you know what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking for this woman with honey tawny honey,
Speaker 1: blonde hair, kind of tall and tan, model who also
Speaker 1: speaks French. That's my team. And you'll say, yes, he's
Speaker 1: and you'll know that. But like, what a lovely thing
Speaker 1: to have now been able to like have this experience
Speaker 1: and be friends. I'm looking down here at all the
Speaker 1: questions that I had. I mean, you guys ask each
Speaker 1: other things. Is there anything that you want to know
Speaker 1: from this experience, anything that you're wondering or you know,
Speaker 1: do you just.
Speaker 3: Want to I want to ask?
Speaker 5: So you know, there's just so many ways to like
Speaker 5: meet people, and how did you feel when you were
Speaker 5: when you met me over zoom? How did how did
Speaker 5: how did you feel? Did you like like being able
Speaker 5: to like see me and talk to me? I mean
Speaker 5: obviously like Bob was there and we were having fun
Speaker 5: with Bob, but like I'm just curious just in general,
Speaker 5: you know, do you like like being on a zoom
Speaker 5: and or being on a FaceTime and actually seeing the person?
Speaker 2: Definitely? I think to me, it's very important to see
Speaker 2: the person. Okay.

Speaker 6: texting after texting, after texting after texting, and sometimes you
Speaker 6: mass translate the text by the mood you are at

Speaker 2: Glass of water and wine.
Speaker 4: I have even active evening.
Speaker 3: You did popcorn water and wine.
Speaker 1: All I just I'm sorry to jump in, but I
Speaker 1: am so impressed with you. First of all, the way
Speaker 1: that you just you were so honest, because you complimented
Speaker 1: me earlier today about being like open and vulnerable, and
Speaker 1: the way you were like, you know, I said that
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would say that you were
Speaker 1: a dick. I don't know what that was dicky, but
Speaker 1: like you own it and you're like, and I apologize.
Speaker 1: I am falling in love with you, and I would
Speaker 1: like for us to go on a date. And I
Speaker 1: am married, so it'll be salacious. But I have to
Speaker 1: be honest with you. The way you just handled that
Speaker 1: whole thing was so high class.
Speaker 3: Thank you, here's my friend.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, there was no need that protagy.
Speaker 2: I don't think that was a she think that was
Speaker 2: a she's a conversation.
Speaker 3: And I was just having fun.
Speaker 2: I knew you were having fun, and I was said, it's.
Speaker 5: Also in my defense that is, you know, I'm from Rockford.
Speaker 5: I spent so much time in that area, and in
Speaker 5: all transparency when they asked for the cover and put
Speaker 5: it in Gibson's, which is which is is there's a
Speaker 5: lot of you know, there's there's mixed emotions, it's the
Speaker 5: best burger, it's the best bar. Like people love to
Speaker 5: go there, but it's also there's a lot of you know,
Speaker 5: it's it's it's.
Speaker 3: A hot spot for people that want to go on dates.
Speaker 5: And so when they asked me to sign the cover
Speaker 5: and to have it in Gibson's, I was hands down.
Speaker 5: That was like a very proud moment for definitely. So
Speaker 5: I I just it was I was just having fun
Speaker 5: with it. But it but you don't know me at all.
Speaker 5: You don't know anything about that. You don't know that,
Speaker 5: like you know, you're French from Paris. I'm from Rockford, Illinois,
Speaker 5: ninety miles northwest of Chicago. I'm not from Chicago.
Speaker 2: I'm not from.
Speaker 3: From very small town.
Speaker 5: And so that was just it was, I was just,
Speaker 5: I was just I was I was just having fun.
Speaker 6: But that's sometimes, Kenny, that's sometimes you should be part
Speaker 6: of Okay, I mean, have you still making the cover
Speaker 6: of Playboy. It's an accomplishment. I think that sometime we
Speaker 6: could have bought in the after we get to know
Speaker 6: his shadow in more details, that sometime you could have
Speaker 6: bought into the conversation later on in in in getting
Speaker 6: to know each shadow as you think for me that
Speaker 6: was I felt like you didn't need to do that.
Speaker 1: By the way, Kelly, there are men as you know,
Speaker 1: as Pascal, you know who would have thought that was
Speaker 1: the most adorable. No, I mean it like if you
Speaker 1: would said that to Jeff Essler, I don't know why,
Speaker 1: it's kind of gross. No, I just know him.
Speaker 2: I know them.
Speaker 1: Like you said we should go get a burger and
Speaker 1: go with my Playboy cover, he would have been like,
Speaker 1: let's go, where's it. I don't know if this is
Speaker 1: getting weird, I'm sorry you guys. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think that it just depends who you say it to.
Speaker 2: You that to that, to that, to that.
Speaker 5: And by the way, Jen's got a really good point
Speaker 5: the minute that I said that, and I was like
Speaker 5: smiling when I said it, and then I saw the
Speaker 5: look on your face and I was like that, did
Speaker 5: you know what you were like? Like, it's like we've
Speaker 5: been talking about like just a little like a lot
Speaker 5: of things, like how people present themselves, like what they're
Speaker 5: what they optically want people to see. And then if
Speaker 5: you say something you think it's like funny or charming,
Speaker 5: but then it just drops her.
Speaker 4: Don't don't And so like that's what happened.
Speaker 5: Is I said that to you because it was like
Speaker 5: I was having fun.
Speaker 1: Well, I will say this like also Kelly, at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, even if you, guys, let's say,
Speaker 1: word to have gone out again. The truth is, Pascal,
Speaker 1: she's been married to a Frenchman. She's not necessarily what
Speaker 1: she's looking for. Not nothing wrong with she loves Frenchmen.
Speaker 1: But there's probably some of that. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: could have been come from either one of you. So
Speaker 1: the best news here is like we went through it.
Speaker 5: We Pascal, I mean for all to the purpose is
Speaker 5: basically dating you is like going on with my ex husband.
Speaker 5: You know what, let me let me tell you what
Speaker 5: my god, let me tell you something, let me tell
Speaker 5: you something and teresting.
Speaker 2: Actually you said that, Okay.
Speaker 6: When I was in the last day with John and
Speaker 6: we were in the that before the fantasy, sweet I
Speaker 6: asked you a simple question and I said, twenty three guys,
Speaker 6: why me, Why did you choose me? And I was
Speaker 6: expecting her to say, I like your personality, I like
Speaker 6: you Carrissima, I like you so fashion, I like your accomplishment,
Speaker 6: I like that you funny. The answer was from her
Speaker 6: you remind me my husband. And I said to myself,
Speaker 6: I said, I don't want to live in the shadow
Speaker 6: of you.
Speaker 2: That has been right, Okay, So she was that was
Speaker 2: that was.
Speaker 3: It was a compliment from me and from her. I
Speaker 3: totally totally understand that.
Speaker 6: I totally and as you as you feel like you
Speaker 6: know me and I think I want her to like
Speaker 6: me for who I am.
Speaker 2: Okay, now, but.
Speaker 3: Here's something that's interesting. So you're a Frenchman.
Speaker 5: So most people think when they think of a Frenchman,
Speaker 5: they think like, oh, he's so debonnair. He was raised
Speaker 5: in Paris. He spends all these times at the cafe
Speaker 5: watching those beautiful women in the world. He's touched the
Speaker 5: head upon head upon head, taken photos, worked with the
Speaker 5: best of the best.
Speaker 3: Are this business, that business.
Speaker 5: He's married, all these beautiful women, has all these amazing children.
Speaker 2: Da YadA, YadA.
Speaker 5: One thing that is very interesting about Frenchmen is that
Speaker 5: you guys are and this is a generalization, clearly, but
Speaker 5: there's one thing about Frenchmen that people do not understand,
Speaker 5: and that that you guys are wildly sensitive in a
Speaker 5: good way, and you're also extremely thought provoking. You like
Speaker 5: to talk about things interest you're not you don't like
Speaker 5: to talk about like my I'm not going to say
Speaker 5: what I was just going to say, but a lot
Speaker 5: of french Men who I've met outside of my past
Speaker 5: are like you, and so that's a compliment to you
Speaker 5: and to like to.
Speaker 3: I think that people.
Speaker 5: I think that people aren't expecting you to be so thoughtful,
Speaker 5: and I don't think I don't think people were. Probably
Speaker 5: I think that probably the viewers were taken aback that
Speaker 5: you asked her something that was really like heartfelt versus
Speaker 5: something that was like topical. I mean, I mean, I
Speaker 5: think it was probably like people were like, whoa.
Speaker 6: You know, I was you know, actually today I was
Speaker 6: going into the social media and I saw you posting
Speaker 6: sometimes white frenchmen like fog legs.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, what did they call frenchmen FuG Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, Because we were asking these questions.
Speaker 2: I was supposed to ask you.
Speaker 6: On my day so so so I'm gonna and you
Speaker 6: never asked me that, So I'm gonna so.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna say, I'm gonna saw you.
Speaker 3: You Why do you frenchmen? Why are Frenchmen called frogs?
Speaker 2: Okay, in the twelfth century.
Speaker 6: Okay, here was the monaster Okay, had a period of
Speaker 6: time where they were not allowed to eat meat. So
Speaker 6: they were eating fish, yes, and frogs are in.
Speaker 2: The water, so they considered as a fish. Okay.
Speaker 6: So they were eating frog legs and the British thought
Speaker 6: that was.
Speaker 2: Gross and ridicule.
Speaker 6: Actually calling a Frenchman a frog is an assault, Okay,
Speaker 6: there is.
Speaker 2: Do we call the Italian pizza? Do we call the
Speaker 2: the the how you call?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: My god? Do we call the Japanese sushi? Okay?
Speaker 6: But we do call the Germans fought for the sausage okay, yes,
Speaker 6: and actually yeah brushed, yeah, the Germans.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 6: So in the fifteenth century the British called as soul
Speaker 6: to the French the frogsmen.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: So that's that's that's that's.
Speaker 1: I never heard of any of this. I only know
Speaker 1: that I heard of frog legs.
Speaker 6: Actually, we should call us, we should call a snail,
Speaker 6: because we eat way more escago than we froglets, and
Speaker 6: frog legs become apodlicates. And actually, if you ever eat
Speaker 6: frog legs, it will taste like chicken.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Okay, on that note, my beautiful friends. Neither one of
Speaker 1: you look like a frog or a chicken. I think
Speaker 1: that this when I'm sorry, I don't know. Maybe you'll agree,
Speaker 1: maybe you won. I think this was a ten ten.
Speaker 1: I think this worked out beautiful. I think we got
Speaker 1: some insight. We're all gonna ends up friends, nobody. This
Speaker 1: is how it should be. This is dating.
Speaker 2: I do part two.
Speaker 1: This is how the part two should go in my
Speaker 1: humble opinion, maybe because I'm facilitating it.

Speaker 2: We have to. We have to. We have to work
Speaker 2: on that.
