And where are you from?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I'm originally from Paris, France, but I was born in Caso.
We move in France when I was one years old,
so I was most likely raised in Paris and see
I was about twenty three years old and then then
I'm moving to the city. I heard and your husband
was French?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (10:17):

Speaker 1 (10:43):
We'll bring our podcast live. Yes, I got a lot
of ideas here. I got a lot of ideas.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Why from the camel from the camp?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
All right, so I need to know. I need to
know how did you hear about Kelly and Guy and
Kelly and Gary and then everything that had gone down?
I mean, is it true that the men of the
Golden Bachelort actually have like a group chat like a
text threat? And how do I get in on this?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Okay, So when we when we all met in the mansion,
and that on the first night, I believe then guide
the Sally to get the number and email address of
all of us. So we create a thank a tread
of a thirteen or twelve people, which is the twelfth
finalist of the twelve reminding John the Golden Bachelorett and
(11:32):
then so we've been texting back and forth, you know,
happy holidays, what's going on with you? Are you going
to be in the Bachelor in Paradise? Oh, I'm doing
this and I'm doing that. And so I felt like
that was kind of interested to keep in contact with
those guys. I'm not very big on texting. I'm more
the type of guy who like to call. So I
(11:54):
have a group of four or five of them I
really bonded during my ex experience and so those I
usually give them a call, how are you, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And d dad. So that's that's how we we happened
to get in.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Touch with that and you. That's so nice.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Me and Geary Me, I mean you're talking me and
Geary or me and Guy?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Well both, I think I I understood you were relatively
close with both of them, aren't you?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And not not really.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I was more close with Mark. I was close more
with c k K. I love Greg, Greg does have.
I had the smaller room in the in the mansion,
so I had the Greg c K then and I
and then after about to rose ceremony, I ended up
having the room for myself, which is good. But so
(12:48):
everybody wanted to come up into the room and say, oh,
you know, I kind of I said, no, no, this
is bad luck for you guys.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
This is bad.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
That's one of those things I love that this is.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
This is bad luck.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Okay, you guys don't know want to come up here.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Now?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Let me ask you this. Have you ever d M?
You know a woman before that you didn't know? I
mean I or was this kind of because you're not
a big Texter so I wouldn't guess you're a big
d M or either Was this the first time you've
slated into someone's d MS? No?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
No, a few times, A few times.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
There is some some you know, after you done with
the show, as you've been in there and so is
you and how you call?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You know, you get bombardied with email.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
You get bombardied with messages from all over the place,
and the young, the older, the spectrum of whatever. So
so what happened is is sometime interesting happened when I
contacted Kelly is because I know then during Valentine you
did a little game about picking up three of the Bachelor,
which was Keith. There was guy Gary and Keith, I believe,
(13:58):
and yeah, asking him questions about how which one you're
going to take into that I Radio Music World event,
and to be quite an assuiss you. I'm a little
bit disappointed because I think I was one of the
third finalists and I think I you know, I mean,
obviously John was a wonderful woman, but that wasn't what
(14:19):
I'm looking for. And I never been invited to anything,
you know, I never benevded to the golf audiin, I
never benevaded to sit with the star. I'm never so
I felt like maybe I did something wrong. And so anyway,
so when I found out then the Kelly had talking
to those guys and they were a pitch. I believe
(14:41):
that you pick up guy? Am I right to go
with you in the award? And then there was an
email tread between guys and those guys about you know,
the guy behavior was a little bit bizarre by texting
you and whatever should it? That's what I that's what
I read about do you like my pocket in my jacket?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Or is my kid white enough? Or you know what
I mean, he's my most so good and.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
You know, oh my god, So guy called me and said,
oh you know what this is so fantastic. I'm invited
to go with Kary be Simon into the Music Award.
That's a great congligulation, which are the very best. And
then all over a sudden, I see you with Gary,
and I said, it's bizarre. I thought he was gonna
(15:27):
go and then that's Gary. So then all of a
sudden there was a tread of messages between the seven
of us, a calling and send us the article about
in one a little bit ballistic on you, about those
long text messages and whatever, and you end up going
with Gary.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I'm I right, I did. I had so much fun.
I love the narration of what happened.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I can understand this weak am I right.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I'm the kind of guy who'll go direct to the point.
I always seen it, you know, like it's funny. Actually,
because something very funny when when I met Gilly and
the guy at the mission, and I love guy. Okay,
don't get me wrong, Okay, it's a great guy. But
guys goes with his story. If I said, what color
is that wall, he's going to take about it now
(16:16):
to tell me what the color of.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
The wool is.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
So I said, when you talk to me, tell me
the beginning and the end, I'll figure out everything in between.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Okay, get to the point. I like it. I like
this Pascal so far.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Kelly.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I mean, there's got to feel like some familiarity, right
because of the French and the Moroccan descent.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I know, I know am Illinois and Illinois.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And Kelly is known for her beautiful hair, and Pascal
I understand the business.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
So there, it's a good match.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Very good match. Well, you know I can sense it
in your voice, Pascal, when you were telling the story
of what happened with Guy and Gary and Keith, that
you felt a little bit left out. And so I'm
not leaving you out, buddy. I am bringing you in
to the iHeart family, especially into the ID Part two family.
I think what we're gonna do is we're gonna relive
this moment the way it was supposed to be when
(17:12):
we did this last time, Okay, and we're gonna do it.
We're gonna see how compatible the two of you are.
So I'm gonna ask you both some questions, and I
don't want you to tell me the answers until I
ask you, and I want you to write down your
answers and then we'll each give our answers and we'll
see how well aligned we are. And then in the
event that there is some type of match to be
made here, I will bestow upon the two of you
(17:36):
potentially a prize. And if this happens, this could be
a really amazing prize, a wonderful prize. And so well,
you know, we cross that bridge and we get to it.
Because I'm with Pascal, I want to I want the
beginning of the end, so I want to know the
end before I get to the to the possible prize
package here. So are you too ready to begin our
(17:57):
newest round of the love connection?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yes, I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yes, Okay, we're gonna see if there's a chemistry here, guys.
I'm very excited. Okay, first question, if the two of
you were to go on a first date, what would
that date look like? I know that leaves some space,
so take your.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Time, I'll go all right.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Okay, So what we're gonna do is, Kelly, why don't
you tell us if you were to go on a
first date, what would that date look like?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So Pascal and I we're going to go on a
first date. Because he's from Chicago and I'm from Rockford,
we would go to the Viagara Triangle and we would
go there was a restaurant, a very very well known
restaurant there, and there is the cover my cover of
Playboy is front and center.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Nice, and they have the.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Best beer and the best burgers are the best salads.
So you would like have like so much fun and
he could see like, who's with?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I love that which has.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Gibson's love gift sins, Yes, gifts us is a great restaurant.
Great would be all about me, you know what, as
it should be. All right, Pascal, let's hear your answer.
What would you think your first date would look like?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Okay, so first of all, if I was taking Kelly
for dinner, I would like to have an antimate dinner
where I wouldn't be distracted by anyone around.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
So we'll take her to something a little bit more
high hand, like.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Our hel restaurant, where there is a little bit more antimacy,
a little bit more quieter, where we could have an
engaging conversation about where we are at, what we're looking for,
versus being distracted by the noise and the and the
Viagra triangles.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
This is not for me.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I like it, Okay, I am.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
A little bit more vmentic. I like to get to know.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
I like to be close to the person and have
no distraction from anyone else and been with you present.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I love that too. I like it very much. All right,
very good answers, both of you, by the way, and I.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Am taking because he's more romantic.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
No, no loser. There's no losers here, you know, no losers,
Just winners, just winners.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
All every winners with mob only only smiley faces.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Okay, the next question, or not really question, but the
next thing. Write down three words that would describe your
ideal partner, just three. I think I'm going to allow
Pascal to go first.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Okay, my id partner will be a woman who is
very confident, who has a lot of confidence about herself,
a woman's very fashionable, and a woman with woodly and intelligence.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Wow, I think the game is over already. They described
Kelly Benson on to a t. Very well done, Pascal. Uh, Kelly,
why don't you tell us your three words? Because I
think I honestly think he just described you personally.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Bob, You're the best. Okay, So my words are smart, loving,
and creative.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I like all three of those things, and obviously I
was gonna say, obviously someone who is a stylist, and
that's all the things that Pascal does. Very creative.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But Pascal, you cannot cut my hair. Everyone wants to
cut my hair. Everyone's always wanting to cut my hair.
You can't cut my hair.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
No, no, no, I like I like you. I think.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Guys, this is of the.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Problem is when you date someone that that's in the
hair business. Is that like people would be probably be
thinking that I would be like this, like you know,
golden locks all the time, but like, because you're in
the hair business, probably be like, oh, it's fine, just
let your hair naturally you like hair dry. I'd be like,
with this prizzy hair.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I've learned one ten other years old. The woman I
married to never never touched their hair. Yeah, jarguments. So
I let them use one of my stallies of east
and that's them.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Very see. And you said you wanted someone who was
very smart, very creative. There you go. You got both
of them. A very smart man. All right. This next
one is very simple. It's a simple yes or no answer.
Do you kiss on the first date? No? Oh, Bosco,
I like that not what I was expecting. From a frenchman. No,
(22:30):
Kelly ben Simon, what is your answer?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Suspense is killing?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I can't. We're gonna cut for commercial birds. Kelly ben Simon,
do you kiss on the first date? No? Oh no,
what are you an? Also?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh, my, guys going for the kiss of the first stay.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, Like this is like
a marathon, not a sprint.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I agree with you. Take plenty of time for kiss.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yes, I like this guy's we're playing the long game.
This is good, this is very good. I love this answer.
I can assure you that guy would have gone in
for the kiss on the first day.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Guy would have gone for the kiss.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
And it sounds like his DMZ went in for the kiss.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
And then wipe off, wipe it off with his pocket scarf.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Like exactly, and then Ice flicks his muscle after that.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
We guys so nice.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
He's super nice.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
We're just making fun. We're just making fun.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
This is a good time. Here we go. You guys
ready for your next one? Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
What are your three non negotiables? Right? Three things that
you gotta have in a partner and if they're not there,
you just cannot do it all right, and we're gonna
let Kelly. We're gonna let Kelly go first on this one. Kelly,
whenever you're ready.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Let's see three non negotiables. I would say, one who's
not good to their ex. So if they're not good
to your ex, like, that doesn't work for me. If
you are not a good provider, that doesn't work for me.
(24:25):
And if you're competitive with me, that would not work
at all. A lot of guys are very competitive with
me for some weird reason. I'm like, don't compete with me, please, right?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, And when you say when you say good good
to your ex, you know what's funny. So, as a
divorced man myself, I remember people thinking it was so
weird that I got along so well with my ex wife,
And I said, well, we loved each other and still do.
We just want to write for each other.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
So I was like, you know, in my and thankfully
my wife was always so cool with that, and she's like,
you know, I think it's it's great, you know, So
I think that should be the rule, not the exception.
I agree with you on that one. And then the
second one you said was to be a good provider.
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I mean you can't be like a dead bee dad
or like you know, you have to be a provider,
like you have.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
To able to like you know, he takes care of
the people around them, and it takes yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
You know, be able to like you know, live your life. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Sure, just and because I mean you you have always
been you know, you make your own money, so it's.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Never been something I've been the only provider.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, and then your last one was what was the
last one? Again? Oh? Not to be competitive with.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
You, Oh, not to be competitive yet.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, that's because I can see that happening too, especially
with you when you're with someone else in the public
eye and they feel almost like if you're noticed then
they're not like it's a I mean, that is crazy
to me. I agree with you one thousand percent. I
love that, all right. I like those, Pascal. I'm excited
to hear you answer. Go ahead when you're ready, sir.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
For me, will be the non negotiable is smoking drugs
and heavy alcohol.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
That's that's a no no no for me. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I don't mind the alcohol when it's a moderation, Okay,
when the other it's no no for me.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I don't drink, I don't smoke, and don't the drugs.
I'm living a very healthy lifestyle. I would like that person.
I don't mind the drinking, as long as they they
know their limitation.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Sometimes is no negotiable. Young children. Okay, I've raised my children.
I've I'm part to be to love my children. But

(26:57):
So to me, the children as to be gone out.
Speaker 3 (27:01):

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Okay, and but you are my baby, Okay, I'm talking
about chldren. The third one is independent. I want a
woman who is independent, the woman who has own ideas
on the own values. A woman who could raise their
(27:23):
opinion and debate issue I agree to disagree.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I like the deep conversation. A woman who has her
own who make her own living. It doesn't have to
be allowed of money.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
But it's a woman who is independent to our who
has wake up in the morning, got something to do.
I don't need I don't want a housewife. I want
an asset. I don't want a liability. I've had liability
all my life.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Okay, sounds like you two might have been dating the
same people.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Said liability.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
It doesn't goar very similar.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You guys are very similar. I'm loving this, guys. This
is that's what I'm doing. You know, y'all knew. He
knew then when he was DMS.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
That's when I contacted you actuality, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
And no, it was sweet. It was so sweet. It
was very sweet.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
All right. So far, guys, I've asked let's see here, one, two, three,
four or five five questions. I think we're we're really
doing well here. We're at least the five for five
with my if my numbers are correct. What's that?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Who know?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You guys are evenly tied. The score here is remarkable.
I've never seen anything like it. Okay, so we're gonna
get one more question. Okay, and this question. I'm gonna
look over my questions really quickly here.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Actually you ask a three question?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Have I only asked three? Well, I'll see. Math is
actually technically my strong suit. So I don't know what
that's what's going on with me there? Okay, I'm gonna
ask one more. Actually, I'm gonna ask two more. I'm
gonna ask two Okay, yeah, so we'll be fine assuming
Pascal's math is correct. So here we are. What is
your favorite movie genre? This is just a real you know,
(29:12):
lighthearted like you know what type of movie? Like do
you like a romance or an action film or you
know crime or you know drama. I don't know like
that type of thing. So like a type of movie
you know, is it romance, is it mystery? Is it action?
Science fiction? You can use my topics if you'd like
(29:35):
romantic comedies. All right, here we go. I'm gonna start
with Kelly on this one. Kelly, if you had to
determine what particular types of movie you like best, what
would they be?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I mean, I love rom coms, but I'm also you know,
I'd like have such a strong affection for Disney movies.
Nice like throwing some aristocrats and pizza and a grilly
good glass of wine and I'm your girl.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
There you go. Okay, I love that. Yeah, very nice.
That could be The Tramp with spaghetti. There you go.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
All right, Pascal, you're finding out that Kelly is playful
yet at the same time, Uh, you know, enjoys a
little Disney magic, which I think is lovely. How about you, Pascal,
if you had the name like you could even make
it like name your favorite movie if you wanted to,
But what would be your favorite movie type?
Speaker 4 (30:29):
I have a very wide range of movie I like, Okay,
I like your Murder Mystery. I like a peak movie.
I think one of my favorite of all time is
the Shindler's List. I think when when I watch a movie,
is not used the movies, the cinematographees, the acting is
the core graphy. It's a lot of de film them
(30:51):
to me, what appeeled your movie? I think the Shimler least.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Has it all for me.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
It's got He's got that, that passion, he's got that
that's troug all it that that cinematographic is that the
acting is got bitten. I like Disney, and I think
I spent a lot of time with my children watching
Ladin on the Trump Too, which wasn't my favorite.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I love.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
My favorite woman me and like I said, I like
I like Evitan. You know, I mean, there is no
just I can't pick point one type of movie.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I like it all.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I like it all.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, And as I understand, you're also a grandfather, so
you're probably back in the Disney genre again. All right,
you probably watching it.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Yeah, my my, my, my grandchildren live in Calgury, Canada,
so we don't see We see Shadow a couple of
times a year, so I don't have the chance to
watch those Disney movies, but I have a whole collection
from Actually I still have the v h s and
the DVD from all those Disney movie which I used
(31:53):
to go to the ice Ice Disney on Ice and mean,
I love that.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Sure, yeah, no, I love guys, that scal that's so cute.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
There's differing math here, but I think we're still at
one hundred percent for each of you. So this is
this is our last question right here, guys.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Okay, question number five, Question number five, Question.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Number five, that's your question, never five?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Okay, Yes, what kind of relationship are you wanting right now?
So you know, I liked I liked one of the
things I saw that Pascal had said, you know, that
he felt like that he was the guy you should
be looking for. And I liked that, and I liked
his confidence. I know I should stop talking now, but
I see you both writing, so I want to give
(32:38):
you a moment. So, Kelly, if you had to say
what type of relationship you are looking for right now,
what would it be.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
I'm looking for a forever relationship, not just dating around,
not just having fun, but an actual, real forever. I've
learned so much about myself Bob on the show, like
from therapy and just talking to all of my new friends,
including you, and you know, even just listening to Pascal today,
like I would never I am a playful human, but
(33:10):
to really like listen to what the other person is
saying is something that I wasn't doing before, and I
just am ready for that forever person.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I love that answer because you do have to be
ready for that person to recognize that they're there, right,
I mean you have to be ready or you have
to not be looking at all and then be blindsided
by it. There's really no ine between, right, you can't
be going into it, like you know, I love that answer.
That's a great answer, all right, pass.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
My meaning like I'm open to it. So if I
if it, like you know, if it if it hit
me in the phase today, like I'd be like, oh okay,
because I was I'm ready for it.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
You'd recognize it. You know it all right, Pascal, You've
got a chance to knock this thing out of the
part having to knocking down.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
What I'm looking for in the stage of my life
is my best friend, Somebody who have for me, somebody
you understand my needs, Somebody who could count down, Somebody
who I could trust. Have you see, Somebody who have
chemistry with which I think it's still very important in
our age. Somebody who has a sense of passion, Somebody
who could take out and be part of. Somebody who's
(34:25):
confident and secure by yourself. I don't have to watch
a bit to me or watching me what I'm doing,
because I've experience in the past relationship I had the
women I go out with are very insecure.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
And then they.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Spend more time watching what I'm doing than I enjoying
the event. To me, so I think security, confidence, best friend, chemistry, longevt.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
I mean, have you see you know?
Speaker 4 (34:54):
I mean I want a lifetime partner, and that's what
I'm looking for.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Incidentally, for for listeners and viewers at home. If I'm
not mistaken, Pascal, you recently turned down going on The
Golden Bachelor, in Paradise or The Golden Bachelor in Paradise,
And that's probably why, right, because you you're not looking
for why you know.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I turned down.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
I turned on The Golden in Paradise for for a
couple of reasons. Number one, as you don't think it's
a good fit for who I am as a person,
you know, I mean, as you don't thank me being
the beach.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
With bench of a senior citizen, which I am. Okay, uh,
the bringing the mean.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
I don't want to criticize anybody because that's my personality.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
But I think when I went when I went into.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
The Bachelor, the Bachelor of It, I was very specific
about who I wanted to be the Bachelor of It,
and do you know I had the chance.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I've never watched the show.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
I'm not into the The Bachelor of show, and now
it seems like I am into it because it's.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Kind of fun to watch.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Okay, but so so so when I when my daughter
signed me up and everybody, so you got to do it,
I said, look at time out, I got to see
what it's all about. So I want to watch three
episodes of The Golden Bachelor with Gary, and I had
the chance to meet the first one.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Every woman and one.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
So I got the concept. Okay, I don't need my
five minutes of fame. I don't need the glories. I
don't need to be in TV. I live a beautiful life.
So I said, if it's not that person, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Going to do it. When I went then.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I felt like I was going had a purpose. But
I'm not the kind of guy who was going to
go into the show and pretend and then play the
games used to be in TVs and and it's not
my personality. And the unfortunately, you know, John wasn't what
I was looking for, okay, for whatever reason is. And
(36:49):
so when they offered me the Golden Bachelor in parise,
and I look at all the women in the Golden Bachelor,
which I have no antists and any of them okay,
And they were telling me, then they'll bring him fifteen
new woman. That would have been a different game that
sometimes I would have considered. But as you stand, than
me going on the beach and drinking and party and
(37:09):
kissing everybody, which as you still, Kelly, I'm not. I
don't get me wrong, I'm a kisser, okay, but I
don't I don't kiss on the first, second, or third date.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
I need to know who it is.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Before I'm getting involved more physically.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
So going into the Golden Bachelor in.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Powders and have to pick up a girls and and
try to play this is not my personality. I mean,
if they were offering me the Golden Bachelor, that will
be a different thing, because that's more who I am
as a person than being on the beach with a
bunch of guys who could care less about So.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I love it you are not afraid to give you
a real answer, which I appreciate I have around that stuff. Yes, Kelly,
of course.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Do you wear a speed out or would you wear
box like boxer like swim trunks?
Speaker 3 (37:59):
So like swim trunks or more speed boxer boxer?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Would you wear like trunks on the beach or would
you wear a speedo?
Speaker 3 (38:07):
I wouldn't wear a speedo, No, no speedo.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Right, but he probably would wear more like I would.
Guess you wear European cut type of bathing suit though
like not the big long ones down pass now.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
I wouldn't wear the American show up when he goes
to the knees, you know, I will wear the nice one,
you know, me.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
I'm a roupier, okay.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
And and and and and and you know, I'm in
the gym about six days a week, so then I
have a very nice physique. I still have my six
packs that had eight at one time that they went
down to six. So I'm not a freat to be
on a bidding. I'm not a freat to walk on
the beach. But I just don't think deseas my tenth
(38:45):
for me, Pascal.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
I am fifty three and I still don't have a
six pack, and I work hard. I love it. I'm
gonna borrow a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
All right, guys, what you eat, it's what you eat, Bob,
It's what.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
That's what they say. Yeah, they say that all the time.
It's ninety five percent what you put here and five
percent what to do.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Here is your mom sending you, like all these goodies
from home, Bob. I'm sure she is, just.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Like my little Bob.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
On the podcast. I'm gonna send them some yummy food.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
I'm gonna send them some bunk cake. That's my life.
My life's always like, here's some more bunk cake. Okay, cake, guys,
I have some very good note. I'm waiting for our
tabulations to come in and it looks as.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Though it's a match.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
It's a match for everyone ten out of ten. I
was gonna go to commercial break, but we're running up
against time, so I got a hurry, guys. I feel
like I'm a matchmaker, you know, like what I use.
I try to weave the hearts and souls of America
together when I find them, and once in a while,
I've got to go international to make it work. And
this time I.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Call Global Matchmakings.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
It's a global matchmaking service here and I do part two.
So I think it's time to let you guys know
what your prize is because I have deemed the two
of you a wonderful match. Now you're already getting along great.
I think the next step is to get to meet
in person, which according to both of you, will not
evolve a kiss, but it might if the right kind
(40:10):
of vibe is going on. I mean, I'm never gonna
say never, right. So, Pascal, you mentioned earlier that you
feel like you've been left out a little bit. You
haven't gotten to go cool places. My friend, I am
sending you somewhere very cool with your date Kelly Ben Simone.
We are going to send you both to live in
the vineyard in Napa in Napa Valley, California. It's an
(40:31):
amazing music festival. You get to meet each other. Actually,

Do you like dancing? Do you like?
Speaker 3 (40:58):
Do you like?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
I mean, because this is primarily more country music, which
there's a lot of ballads, there's a lot, but there's
a lot of great music that's gonna be played. Do
you enjoy dancing?
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Actually? I do love country music.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
I do. It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (41:11):

like YouTube Coldplay, I like that, Oka like Actually I

she's selective, you know, and we've global global. We always
combed the earth for this, but I do feel like,
(42:39):
you know, it's really lovely though. Is there are some
really wonderful threads of commonality between the two of you
that I think are very organic. It's not like someone's
just saying the right things, you know, because they know
the right things they're supposed to say. You guys are
really responding naturally to this, And I think it's really
awesome because I'm feeling good about this one, Kelly, I
