- 1:40Speaker 1: a little bit about how the night went.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Slim into the d M.
- 1:46Speaker 4: I think there was a little misunderstanding in here because
- 1:51Speaker 4: I think what I found out from Giddy then he
- 1:54Speaker 4: went into the you know, the story about the the
- 1:58Speaker 4: Valentine's Days, about the mystery that she was going to
- 2:01Speaker 4: take for the Music Award, and I found that. Then
- 2:07Speaker 4: the guy was going to go with her, and then
- 2:09Speaker 4: I ended up seeing her with Gary, and I talked
- 2:13Speaker 4: to Gary on the phone. I said, what happened? So
- 2:15Speaker 4: Gary start telling me a little bit about the story.
- 2:18Speaker 4: So you know, that's how we get in touch Killy
- 2:21Speaker 4: and I.
- 2:22Speaker 3: And then I think that's it.
- 2:25Speaker 1: You but you heard that she wasn't with guys, she
- 2:27Speaker 1: was Gary. And then you just listen to her DMS
- 2:30Speaker 1: because you thought, let me jump on board this.
- 2:33Speaker 3: She said, she said, trying to be funny. Yes, mostly
- 2:37Speaker 3: try to be funny.
- 2:38Speaker 4: And then you know she told her, I said, I
- 2:40Speaker 4: think I would have better better match as a as
- 2:43Speaker 4: a joke.
- 2:43Speaker 1: You know, by the way, did you know anything about

- 3:12Speaker 3: You know, she looked like not either, no, no, no, nothing.
- 3:16Speaker 1: It was just like, you know what she says, be funny,
- 3:20Speaker 1: all right, So you took a little chance there, that's
- 3:22Speaker 1: a little chance.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Okay.
- 3:24Speaker 1: So if I say it one more time, I'm going
- 3:27Speaker 1: to throw up. I hate the expression slid into her dms. Yes,

- 3:38Speaker 1: beautiful Napa Valley, California, and you meet the beautiful Kelly
- 3:41Speaker 1: ben Simon. So just tell me what was your first impression.

- 3:54Speaker 2: She met her when she was in a bikini from Actually.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Yeah, I was working out of my hotel oom. I
- 3:58Speaker 4: was walking downstairs and she was at the pool at
- 4:01Speaker 4: the time. She woke out of the pool and that's
- 4:03Speaker 4: how we met. So I met her in a bikini,
- 4:05Speaker 4: so I was it was there already, So.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Of course she's right, right.
- 4:09Speaker 4: She's attractive, she's she's well spoken, she's uh, she's got.
- 4:15Speaker 3: A good personality. She's she's a lot of fun.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Was she what you pictured when you were, you know,
- 4:20Speaker 1: talking to her on the pod?
- 4:23Speaker 4: I didn't, I didn't. I told she was she was, yes, yes,
- 4:27Speaker 4: me not taking the podcast. We were both sitting down
- 4:29Speaker 4: so we couldn't really see the high But.
- 4:32Speaker 2: That is that a turn on for you? Do you
- 4:33Speaker 2: like tall women?
- 4:36Speaker 4: I'm not.
- 4:37Speaker 3: I like to be the dominant. Yeah, you know I'm
- 4:40Speaker 3: five eleven.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Five eleven, Yeah that is tall, Yeah exactly.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Yeah, so you like I like to be a little
- 4:47Speaker 1: bit taller, yes, yes, yes, so tell me. I mean,
- 4:51Speaker 1: we just came back from this whole adventure, and I
- 4:54Speaker 1: guess you seem very confident to me.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Were you nervous at all.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I mean I watched you guys from the getting here,
- 5:01Speaker 1: and you seem very just, I don't know, sure of
- 5:03Speaker 1: yourself easy.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Did you feel that way? Were you nervous?
- 5:06Speaker 3: No, I wasn't nervous.
- 5:07Speaker 4: I mean remember one time, I mean, I mean nine
- 5:10Speaker 4: us toe where I deal with women all day long.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Okay, this is what I do for a living.
- 5:13Speaker 4: So I'm much more comfortable with women than i am
- 5:17Speaker 4: with men. Wow, So to me, it's very easy when
- 5:19Speaker 4: there is a woman around me. It's very easy for
- 5:22Speaker 4: me to engage your conversation because that's what I do.
- 5:25Speaker 4: So No, I wasn't insecure at all. I feel very confident.
- 5:29Speaker 3: I knew then.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Whatever happened after that experience is killing. I would be friend, okay,
- 5:35Speaker 4: And that's the best part of it is I get
- 5:37Speaker 4: a new friend today.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I wish that everyone.
- 5:40Speaker 1: I hope that everyone's listening who is single and who
- 5:43Speaker 1: is looking for love. Here's what Pascal just said, and
- 5:46Speaker 1: Kelly and I spoke about it a little bit and
- 5:48Speaker 1: takes it to heart, like at the end of the
- 5:51Speaker 1: day when you were out there and you were dating.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I think the best attitude is when you meet someone
- 5:57Speaker 1: who probably not going to be a love connection. But
- 6:00Speaker 1: guess what I'm going it to make a new friend.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Maybe who knows, we'll hit it off in a different way.
- 6:06Speaker 1: But that is the best, healthiest attitude in my humble opinion.
- 6:10Speaker 1: I'm sorry to interrupt, Please go on.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Yes, I mean I think to me, that's the way
- 6:13Speaker 3: I look at it.
- 6:14Speaker 4: You know, sometimes you look at somebody and you're very
- 6:16Speaker 4: attractive to them, and then when you meet them there
- 6:19Speaker 4: is not that spark. But it doesn't mean because there
- 6:21Speaker 4: is not that spark, then you cannot be friends. So
- 6:24Speaker 4: I think you you know, sometimes you meet some people
- 6:27Speaker 4: and you look at them and say, you know, you
- 6:28Speaker 4: better keep them as a friend and lovers. And I
- 6:31Speaker 4: think Kelly is a very attractive looking woman. I think
- 6:34Speaker 4: she's got a lot of class, she's got a great personality.
- 6:37Speaker 4: But I see her more as a friend than a partners.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Okay, so interesting.
- 6:43Speaker 1: What was there anything specific that she said did that
- 6:47Speaker 1: made you feel that way that?
- 6:49Speaker 4: No? I don't know, No, no, not at all. I
- 6:51Speaker 4: think I think we're a wonderful conversation. You're on that
- 6:54Speaker 4: event where we're together, you know, I mean the as
- 6:58Speaker 4: I need, you know, to meet all about chemistry. You know,
- 7:01Speaker 4: you know when the chemistry is.
- 7:03Speaker 3: There or not.
- 7:04Speaker 4: You know, have enough experience over over the years my daddy,
- 7:08Speaker 4: in my marriage. I know then to me, chemistry is
- 7:11Speaker 4: extremely important.
- 7:12Speaker 2: And it gets like, yes.
- 7:15Speaker 4: She sees somebody will say, you know, that's the person
- 7:18Speaker 4: you want to get to know. You know there is
- 7:20Speaker 4: there is fire there, okay. And to me, when I
- 7:24Speaker 4: see Kelly, I see, don't get me wrong, Katy is.
- 7:26Speaker 3: Kelly is a beautiful woman.
- 7:28Speaker 4: She's an out Okay, she's she's mean, she's got a
- 7:32Speaker 4: lot of confidence, and I thank you she's she's a
- 7:34Speaker 4: wonderful woman.
- 7:35Speaker 3: But I need that spark.
- 7:38Speaker 4: And I had the same problem when I was in
- 7:40Speaker 4: the Bachelor. I didn't have I didn't have the spark
- 7:43Speaker 4: for John. And John is a wonderful woman. She's classy,
- 7:46Speaker 4: well spoken, well dressed, elegant, easy to talk to, but
- 7:51Speaker 4: I just didn't have that spark.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I think that Kelly could tell and we'll bring her
- 8:05Speaker 1: in and we'll talk a little more about that that
- 8:09Speaker 1: you weren't feeling that spark. I don't think she Maybe
- 8:14Speaker 1: we should save this from when she's actually in the room.
- 8:16Speaker 1: But yeah, I think you guys are a little simpotical,
- 8:19Speaker 1: like she was feeling what you were putting out.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Yeah, she was, she was getting that.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Did you was there anything that you may have learned
- 8:29Speaker 1: about her about I don't know her parenting style or
- 8:33Speaker 1: her type, like do you think about her and do
- 8:36Speaker 1: you think listen, she's a great woman. I'm sure you
- 8:38Speaker 1: do think this, but not for me. Do you think
- 8:40Speaker 1: of anybody else you would want to set her up with?
- 8:42Speaker 1: You see, do you have any ideas in terms of
- 8:44Speaker 1: like who she would click with if it wasn't you
- 8:46Speaker 1: or why?
- 8:47Speaker 4: You know, you know what, I'm not a good matchmakers,
- 8:52Speaker 4: you know, as you just don't know her that well.
- 8:54Speaker 4: Mean I did spend all the time we serve and
- 8:57Speaker 4: we talked a little bit about her.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Marie Gievo was flirting going on. Was there anything?
- 9:02Speaker 4: No, no, no, nothing like that. I think you know,
- 9:06Speaker 4: we talked a little bit about her ex husband or children.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Where she live?
- 9:11Speaker 4: How long did you have found out? And she was
- 9:14Speaker 4: even in France in publish for quite a few years.
- 9:17Speaker 4: She speaks French fluently, so we engage a bit of
- 9:19Speaker 4: the French conversation together.
- 9:21Speaker 3: That was wonderful.
- 9:22Speaker 4: But no, she didn't do anything to turn me off
- 9:26Speaker 4: or make me get away from it to enjoy your company,
- 9:30Speaker 4: as you just don't think this is a good fit
- 9:32Speaker 4: for me.
- 9:32Speaker 1: So I just want to say this to our listeners.
- 9:35Speaker 1: And I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm not a relationship expert.
- 9:39Speaker 1: I'm just putting it out there, like what I'm hearing
- 9:42Speaker 1: from you is so interesting, Like it just because Kelly
- 9:47Speaker 1: is a knockout and smart and successful and a wonderful mother.
- 9:52Speaker 1: But for some whatever it was, the planets were not aligning.
- 9:56Speaker 1: You didn't feel it, and there wasn't that little tiny
- 10:00Speaker 1: bit of chemistry. And I think that where from where
- 10:04Speaker 1: Kelly's coming from. I think maybe she would have given
- 10:07Speaker 1: it a little more time in space and maybe, you know,
- 10:10Speaker 1: seeing it out.
- 10:11Speaker 2: I don't know what the right thing here is.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Again, I'm not a relationship expert, but it sounds like
- 10:15Speaker 1: for you, you're the type of man that if you don't
- 10:17Speaker 1: feel it, you don't feel it, You're not going to
- 10:18Speaker 1: feel it. Let's be friends. You can appreciate the fact
- 10:21Speaker 1: that she's beautiful and desirable and wonderful time about her,
- 10:25Speaker 1: but the chemistry wasn't there, and so you.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Know, it's not It's not always about beauty. Okay, you
- 10:32Speaker 4: know it's not always a baud beauty. I think I
- 10:34Speaker 4: think beauty is we we have a tendency to be
- 10:37Speaker 4: a little bit too superficial by looking at a woman
- 10:41Speaker 4: who want her to be beautiful. I mean, I've been
- 10:43Speaker 4: out with some beautiful woman where the chemistry wasn't there,
- 10:46Speaker 4: and I went out with some women weren't so attractive
- 10:50Speaker 4: where the chemistry was there.
- 10:51Speaker 3: I think it's not it's not about a beauty.
- 10:54Speaker 2: It's just something chemical.
- 10:56Speaker 3: The chemical.
- 10:56Speaker 4: The chemistry wasn't there, and that's not Sometimes you could
- 11:00Speaker 4: you could develop you have it or you don't mean
- 11:02Speaker 4: sometimes you know, I've meet someone it's there. I know.
- 11:06Speaker 4: I wanted to get to need this person. I want
- 11:08Speaker 4: to engage your competion.
- 11:09Speaker 3: I wanted to.
- 11:10Speaker 4: Get to know her and Kallie, I want to get
- 11:14Speaker 4: to know her as a friend. I was I don't
- 11:16Speaker 4: think there is any physical attraction. And again, she's a
- 11:21Speaker 4: very attractive looking woman, but she's not the type of
- 11:24Speaker 4: woman I'm looking for.
- 11:25Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm thinking that this is so
- 11:28Speaker 1: healthy and fabulous that we could like talk about it.
- 11:31Speaker 1: You can be you know, so appreciative of who she
- 11:35Speaker 1: is and yet say it just didn't there was no
- 11:38Speaker 1: spark for me, And I don't know, like it just
- 11:42Speaker 1: makes to me if I'm single, I feel like that's
- 11:45Speaker 1: so encouraging.
- 11:46Speaker 2: You know, you can go out with someone.
- 11:47Speaker 1: They could see that you're a wonderful person, interesting, beautiful, intelligent,
- 11:50Speaker 1: and just that's okay that there's not a spark there,
- 11:53Speaker 1: and so you just we just keep moving, right because
- 11:55Speaker 1: you can spark with someone else. Yes, yes, yes, it's
- 11:59Speaker 1: not about Kelly or you necessarily or it's just it's there.
- 12:04Speaker 4: It's not and that's I mean, you know you know
- 12:07Speaker 4: it when he's there, now, you know. I mean I
- 12:08Speaker 4: I've got enough experience over the years we's dating and Madge, yeah,
- 12:15Speaker 4: and I know then you know he has to be
- 12:17Speaker 4: that special sense, that special touch, the special you want.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I think that some people feel like like maybe Kelly
- 12:26Speaker 1: felt like she would have given it some more time,
- 12:29Speaker 1: and maybe that would have you guys could have found that,
- 12:32Speaker 1: But it doesn't really matter in the end. You both
- 12:36Speaker 1: it seems to me you both thought that she thought
- 12:38Speaker 1: wonderful things about you as well. She had all nice
- 12:41Speaker 1: things to say. Okay, so now we move on, But
- 12:43Speaker 1: before we move on, we're bringing Kelly back in Okay, Okay,
- 12:48Speaker 1: which you know is going to be fun.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Okay, you're all adults. Yes, I think this is so evolved.
- 12:53Speaker 2: We've handled it all so beautifully. Yeah, and we're going
- 12:56Speaker 2: to bring back your new friends. Okay, Kelly be love
- 12:59Speaker 2: to two
