  Larry Wilson: Hi, this is Larry Wilson and this is How to Talk to Humans.
• 0:04
  Larry Wilson: This is the podcast that shows you how to improve your communication skills.
• 0:10
  Larry Wilson: Are you looking to get a better job?
• 0:12
  Larry Wilson: Are you looking to find a relationship?
• 0:15
  Larry Wilson: Are you trying to do things in your life that have frustrated you and improved you so far?
• 0:21
  Larry Wilson: I can show you so easily how to change that.
• 0:25
  Larry Wilson: Now, I can only do it with humans.
• 0:27
  Larry Wilson: If you're looking to deal with vampires with all of these extraterrestrials, this is not the show feel.
• 0:33
  Larry Wilson: But if you're really looking to improve your communication skills, I can show you what I've learned for 40 years in the show business working with the biggest celebrities and superstars in the world.
• 0:47
  Larry Wilson: And their secrets are unbelievable.
• 0:51
  Larry Wilson: What I'm going to be teaching you during the course of this podcast every week are tools that you can use to communicate toward success.
• 1:04
  Larry Wilson: Hi, thanks for joining me again for part two of last week's show.
• 1:12
  Larry Wilson: There was so much I wanted to share with you, I didn't want to take up too much of your time.
• 1:18
  Larry Wilson: So here's all the good stuff that follows up the good stuff from part one.
• 1:26
  Larry Wilson: It makes my brain hurt to think about learning a language at the level you have.
• 1:33
  Larry Wilson: When you tell me that you learned English in a year, it makes me simply want to weep.
• 1:40
  Larry Wilson: I mean, I I've said before, I I stand by this and I it's just my personal feeling.
• 1:47
  Larry Wilson: I don't know if I'm really right or not.
• 1:49
  Larry Wilson: But I think English is a very difficult language to learn.
• 1:52
  Rachel Pierre: Yes.
• 1:52
  Rachel Pierre: Yes.
• 1:53
  Larry Wilson: It's organic, as I frequently mention.
• 1:57
  Larry Wilson: It it changes in ways.
• 1:59
  Larry Wilson: Now I understand that French is um a little bit more rigid.
• 2:04
  Larry Wilson: Is that correct?
• 2:06
  Rachel Pierre: It's very true.
• 2:07
  Rachel Pierre: There are so many more rules.
• 2:08
  Rachel Pierre: French is even harder than English, yes.
• 2:10
  Rachel Pierre: Interesting.
• 2:12
  Larry Wilson: I mean, I'm told that French has not changed, the language has not changed uh so much in the last 500 years.
• 2:20
  Larry Wilson: That's right.
• 2:21
  Larry Wilson: That you can look at things written 500 years ago and read them easily.
• 2:27
  Rachel Pierre: Yes, and that's because French is rooted in Latin.
• 2:30
  Rachel Pierre: And so um, if you speak Latin, which is a language my dad also wanted me to learn, and I said, Dad, that's where I draw the line.
• 2:38
  Rachel Pierre: I am not learning this archaic language, I just know.
• 2:42
  Rachel Pierre: But um, he did manage to teach me why he wanted me to learn it, is because when you learn Latin, the etymology of the word comes to you very easily.
• 2:55
  Rachel Pierre: Even if it's a word that you've never heard before, you will be able to guess easily the spelling easily because of the yeah, yeah.
• 3:05
  Rachel Pierre: And so that's why it hasn't changed, is because it's so deeply rooted in in Latin.
• 3:11
  Rachel Pierre: The etymology is from there.
• 3:12
  Rachel Pierre: I mean, um most uh romance languages are written in Latin, Italian, Spanish, you know, but it is very true that French is, and that's why French is considered a classical language, because it's yeah, it's core is from is from Latin and yeah, it hasn't changed.
• 3:29
  Rachel Pierre: It hasn't changed, it's pretty much the same.
• 3:32
  Larry Wilson: It's fascinating.
• 3:32
  Larry Wilson: Uh that son of mine actually did learn Latin in school.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:37
  Larry Wilson: Uh and he did because he he's a character, but um he um he saw that uh exactly what you're saying, that on uh school tests, on college entrance exams, on things like that, even if you didn't know the correct answer, you might be able to determine what the meaning of a certain word was by its Latin roots.
• 4:04
  Rachel Pierre: Yes.
• 4:05
  Larry Wilson: And it's fascinating.
• 4:07
  Larry Wilson: Uh you casually mentioned, but I want to hit it again so that people know, that Rachel is saying that uh French, Spanish, Italian are romance languages.
• 4:20
  Larry Wilson: Yes, and they evolved from Latin.
• 4:24
  Rachel Pierre: Yes.
• 4:25
  Larry Wilson: Now obviously uh English heavily uh influenced by French.
• 4:34
  Larry Wilson: If you take a look at a map, you can see, oh, they're separated by the English Channel.
• 4:40
  Larry Wilson: Yeah, oh so and then of course, um I should know more of this history.
• 4:46
  Larry Wilson: I don't.
• 4:47
  Larry Wilson: I could pretend I do, but I really don't.
• 4:49
  Larry Wilson: But but uh Norman uh French uh conquerors coming to England, and and it's kind of the um it's the etymology of why in English there's some words that have two different words.
• 5:08
  Larry Wilson: In other words, you have uh uh the first word pops to my mind is mutton or lamb, but right uh but mutton is mouton, which is French, yeah.
• 5:22
  Larry Wilson: From the French.
• 5:23
  Larry Wilson: So in other words, the people who came and conquered the Brits who were you know royalty spoke French.
• 5:32
  Larry Wilson: Yeah, but I mean well, the servants spoke English, and so if I was better prepared, I could think of half a dozen examples, but there's a lot of words like that in English where there's a French word, a word that has a French origin, and then there's an English word, and so there's a tremendous, you know, uh there's words are popping into my head.
• 6:00
  Larry Wilson: Words like garage or uh restaurant, um déjà vu déjà vu rendez-vous, rendez-vous, resume, resume, resume.
• 6:14
  Larry Wilson: Yeah, I mean we could we could go on for hours.
• 6:17
  Larry Wilson: I mean, there's so many words, and of course, I've I've mentioned this time and again with uh my people, that in some ways it's what makes English so powerful is that we have no proscriptions against borrowing these words from other languages.
• 6:39
  Larry Wilson: Yeah, you know, I I mentioned this friend of mine, uh Shut Ogawa, and he said in Japanese, there's a lot of words that are English words because they just don't have a Japanese word.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:54
  Larry Wilson: He said it to me at one point, he said, you know, if you take a lunch that's in a box or in a basket outside and sit on the ground and spread a cloth and put out all this food, he said, in Japanese that's a piku niku.
• 7:11
  Larry Wilson: Because they don't have the word picnic, they just don't have it, you know, and so in that same way, in English, we love, we see a word, oh, resume.
• 7:25
  Larry Wilson: I like that.
• 7:26
  Larry Wilson: We're taking that.
• 7:27
  Larry Wilson: Rendezvous, I like that.
• 7:29
  Larry Wilson: Yes, incredible.
• 7:31
  Larry Wilson: Now, I mean, uh the real the real question, uh, there's no answer for, I'm sorry.
• 7:38
  Larry Wilson: I I wish I could open the top of your head, Rachel Pierre.
• 7:42
  Larry Wilson: I I wish I could look at your brain because and again, maybe this is just a personal bias I have.
• 7:51
  Larry Wilson: The idea of being able to really communicate in a foreign language, terrifying to me.
• 7:59
  Larry Wilson: Terrifying.
• 8:01
  Larry Wilson: Um, the only good news is I don't seem to have a need to do it yet.
• 8:05
  Larry Wilson: But sometimes when people ask me about the Wilson method, I say, if you speak English well enough to understand what I'm saying, then I can definitely bring your communication up to a new level.
• 8:18
  Larry Wilson: But I think about it, I think about it all the time.
• 8:21
  Larry Wilson: Uh when I meet someone like you, I think, how can you make your brain do that?
• 8:29
  Larry Wilson: And I I know, having uh researched a little bit about uh Rachel's uh parlay method online, I saw that she has uh some very interesting techniques and some approaches to it.
• 8:46
  Larry Wilson: Yeah, and that's why I thought it was interesting that your um that your seven-day immersion is called a reset.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:53
  Larry Wilson: I can't imagine.
• 8:54
  Larry Wilson: Can you tell me a little bit how do you make someone's brain reset to that?
• 8:59
  Rachel Pierre: So, great question.
• 9:01
  Rachel Pierre: Yes.
• 9:01
  Rachel Pierre: So my my parlay method has three steps.
• 9:03
  Rachel Pierre: It's it starts it's survive, function, command.
• 9:07
  Rachel Pierre: And survive speaks exactly to what you mentioned because yes, at first people are terrified.
• 9:12
  Rachel Pierre: And so it's like, okay, how do I survive in this other language that I know nothing about or that I know very little about?
• 9:18
  Rachel Pierre: How will I be able to communicate?
• 9:20
  Rachel Pierre: So, in that survival phase, that survival phase is the reset phase where is exactly what I mentioned before, where I have you change, you know, your laptop settings, your all your devices to to French.
• 9:33
  Rachel Pierre: We and and I I don't add to your routine because I don't want you to feel like it's extra work, but I just change your existing routine to a French routine.
• 9:43
  Rachel Pierre: So whatever you're accustomed to doing on a day-by-day, I have you put post-its everywhere with sentences that I know you'll be leveraging in a French environment.
• 9:54
  Rachel Pierre: So if every morning you say, I'm going to make coffee, I have you write that in French on the coffee maker, right?
• 10:02
  Rachel Pierre: Key conversations that you have in your English world that you would want to have with a francophone, I have you write those sentences so that by the time you're done with my program, you've practiced those sentences a million times that it'll come to you like water, right?
• 10:20
  Rachel Pierre: So the immersion is actually an on-ramp to my 90-day method.
• 10:25
  Rachel Pierre: So and it's a way for people to test the method, right?
• 10:28
  Rachel Pierre: They're like, okay, I don't want to sign up for the full 90-day because I'm skeptical.
• 10:31
  Rachel Pierre: I don't know if it'll work.
• 10:32
  Rachel Pierre: So then you have an option, sign up for, you know, get the seven-day immersion reset and just to test it out.
• 10:40
  Rachel Pierre: And you'll see, because you also have me in your ear every single day where I set the tone for you, I set the intention for the day, and then I give you tasks to accomplish.
• 10:49
  Rachel Pierre: Um, and again, it's not, it's not additional homework, it's just what you do on a day-to-day basis that I have you switch over to uh French.
• 10:59
  Rachel Pierre: For example, let's say every Tuesday night you like to watch a comedy show.
• 11:03
  Rachel Pierre: So I give you a French comedy show to relax, to distress, right?
• 11:08
  Rachel Pierre: Um and then when we meet um weekly, I have you talk to me about the French uh comedy that you watched.
• 11:18
  Rachel Pierre: What did you like about it?
• 11:19
  Rachel Pierre: What sentences resonated to you?
• 11:20
  Rachel Pierre: And then I ask questions to assess your improvement on a week-by-week basis.
• 11:25
  Rachel Pierre: And trust and believe, every single time people are shocked because they don't realize the new the neurological work that the brain is actually doing when you reset the basic structure from English to French.
• 11:40
  Rachel Pierre: It adapts very quickly.
• 11:43
  Rachel Pierre: And so, yes, that's how I remove the fear for my clients.
• 11:50
  Rachel Pierre: Uh, because yes, it can be scary.
• 11:52
  Rachel Pierre: Even when you change your settings to French, you can be like, oh my God, I don't understand anything.
• 11:56
  Rachel Pierre: At first, it could be crazy, it could be, you know, um frightening, but you have me in your ear telling you, don't change the settings.
• 12:03
  Rachel Pierre: Just stick with it, stick with it.
• 12:06
  Rachel Pierre: If you don't understand something, just Google it.
• 12:09
  Rachel Pierre: Don't, and I promise you, every single time after the first two weeks, after the first week or first two weeks, the fear is gone.
• 12:17
  Rachel Pierre: People start feeling more comfortable because they've repeated the same words and the same sentences over and over, they've listened to the same show.
• 12:26
  Rachel Pierre: So, you know, it those sentences are resonating.
• 12:30
  Rachel Pierre: And then also because of the fact that English, 40% of the English vocabulary is based on French.
• 12:36
  Rachel Pierre: So now they are hearing those words in the French settings.
• 12:40
  Rachel Pierre: And they're like, oh, okay, I know this word.
• 12:42
  Rachel Pierre: I don't, for example, if it's if you listen to the news and they talk about coup d'etat or you know, parliament, or these are words that you, you know, you hear in the English language, but now it's in the French settings.
• 12:53
  Rachel Pierre: And so it helps you memorize, retain the information.
• 12:56
  Rachel Pierre: Um, so yeah, so that's the survival phase.
• 12:59
  Rachel Pierre: And then I take you to function phase where, okay, now you're getting, you know, more comfortable.
• 13:06
  Rachel Pierre: Okay, so how do you function in a language?
• 13:08
  Rachel Pierre: Can you actually have a conversation now?
• 13:10
  Rachel Pierre: Yes, I can, because I've been repeating these sentences every every morning for the past two weeks.
• 13:14
  Rachel Pierre: So now I can go into work.
• 13:16
  Rachel Pierre: Let's say if I go to France, um, let's say your company has a branch in France or in Switzerland, Geneva, or, you know, a French-African country like Côte d'Ivoire, um, and you have a meeting with your friend, Francophone counterpart, and you're like, you know, would you like to get some coffee?
• 13:34
  Rachel Pierre: Well, you've been repeating that sentence for the past, you know, several weeks at home.
• 13:38
  Rachel Pierre: So you know exactly how to how to communicate, how to connect with your counterpart.
• 13:42
  Rachel Pierre: So that's function.
• 13:43
  Rachel Pierre: Now, everything that the basis that you've learned, you know, uh in a survival phase, you get to put in practice and function.
• 13:50
  Rachel Pierre: Um, ordering coffee, ordering croissant, talk to your counterparts, um, and you know, how to order an Uber.
• 13:58
  Rachel Pierre: Whatever you're used to doing at home, now you're doing in a francophone environment, you're functioning.
• 14:02
  Rachel Pierre: And then so that's a second month.
• 14:03
  Rachel Pierre: And then the last month, now that you've gotten comfortable functioning, we get to command, right?
• 14:10
  Rachel Pierre: Because I say that all the time.
• 14:12
  Rachel Pierre: Executives who are so used to commending rooms in English, but when you get to a French environment and the language in the room switches to French, then they feel, you know, smaller because they don't understand what's being communicated.
• 14:26
  Rachel Pierre: And people have sub bars in French.
• 14:28
  Rachel Pierre: And so they lose control of the room.
• 14:30
  Rachel Pierre: And so that's not a great feeling, right?
• 14:32
  Rachel Pierre: And so many times they hire me, they're like, Rachel, I don't ever want to feel like that again.
• 14:36
  Rachel Pierre: Can you help me commend the room in in French?
• 14:39
  Rachel Pierre: And so that's where we give you negotiation uh phrases that are commonly used in the language, in French.
• 14:46
  Rachel Pierre: We give you boardroom uh uh phrases, we give you um I mentioned negotiation, dinner phrases, right?
• 14:54
  Rachel Pierre: Like when you have uh a business dinner, what's typically communicated.
• 14:57
  Rachel Pierre: And also I teach you about culture, for example, knowing that the French, for them, business starts with relationships, it's building relationships because they want to know who they do business with.
• 15:08
  Rachel Pierre: So they're go you're going to find yourself making trips to friends and perhaps 10% business talk and 90% relational.
• 15:20
  Rachel Pierre: Where did you grow up?
• 15:21
  Rachel Pierre: What's important to you?
• 15:22
  Rachel Pierre: What are your values?
• 15:23
  Rachel Pierre: They want to get to know the person behind you know the business because it's like a marriage.
• 15:30
  Rachel Pierre: Before I sign a contract with you, I want to know who I'm doing business with.
• 15:34
  Rachel Pierre: So yeah, yeah.
• 15:36
  Rachel Pierre: So um, all that factors in your ability to come in the room, knowing the culture, you know.
• 15:43
  Rachel Pierre: Um, and yes, so I get you ready in 90 days.
• 15:47
  Rachel Pierre: Some people renew for another 90 days.
• 15:50
  Rachel Pierre: Sometimes because they're extremely busy, they can't commit to, you know, the schedule.
• 15:54
  Rachel Pierre: And so we extend it out to, you know, 180 days uh just to accommodate their schedule, especially, you know, busy travelers.
• 16:01
  Rachel Pierre: However, what I do love about my program is that you can do it from anywhere in the world.
• 16:07
  Rachel Pierre: We can have one-on-one sessions from anywhere in the world because it's virtual, and I can create the immersion for you wherever you are because it's it, but it starts with you.
• 16:17
  Rachel Pierre: You have to commit.
• 16:18
  Rachel Pierre: And I also have that as a requirement in my program.
• 16:21
  Rachel Pierre: I say, do you promise to commit to the program?
• 16:25
  Rachel Pierre: Otherwise, it won't work.
• 16:27
  Rachel Pierre: Yes.
• 16:27
  Larry Wilson: Well, yes.
• 16:28
  Larry Wilson: Now, you know, I've already I've gone longer with you than I'm supposed to, but I don't care.
• 16:35
  Larry Wilson: No, no, I don't care.
• 16:37
  Larry Wilson: I I'm gonna if if you're amenable at some point in the future, I'd love to have you back on to go on and on with this.
• 16:45
  Larry Wilson: But let me ask you something, because you touched on a really interesting thing.
• 16:49
  Larry Wilson: When you talked in the second phase of your three phases, you talked about um hearing these words and recognizing certain words.
• 17:00
  Larry Wilson: You know, uh about a million years ago, I took a couple of years of uh high school French.
• 17:11
  Rachel Pierre: Okay.
• 17:12
  Larry Wilson: I was never uh able to speak uh in the way that you're able to speak English here, I was never able to do that.
• 17:21
  Larry Wilson: But uh what was interesting is I have a fairly good memory.
• 17:26
  Larry Wilson: Okay, and I have a an ability to uh mimic things, but I could not I don't know how to explain this, but when I would hear someone speaking French, I I I couldn't I couldn't process it if it was very simple, you know, and they were speaking slowly, yes, but I have friends, and I had friends then who were in class with me who could watch a French television show, they could get a lot of parts of it, you know.
• 18:06
  Rachel Pierre: Um it makes sense, it makes sense because your brain, you know, is not a because you're listening to those French words in an English bubble.
• 18:18
  Rachel Pierre: So that's why your brain is having a hard time um adapting, is because you're still in the English bubble and you're hearing the French, you're like, oh, it doesn't resonate.
• 18:28
  Rachel Pierre: So that's why the reset starts with the immersion.
• 18:32
  Rachel Pierre: The program starts with doing a reset because you really need to do a fundamental uh baseline reset in order to yeah, in order to really communicate.
• 18:46
  Larry Wilson: I remember uh again a million years ago seeing a a French film Borsolino with uh Jean-Paul Belmondo in it.
• 18:54
  Larry Wilson: Oh yes, Jean-Paul Belmondo.
• 18:56
  Larry Wilson: Of course, it was subtitled in English, so but I remember the very last line I think in the film when one of the main characters has been shot and dying, it's about gangsters and so he says, Chance, ça n'existe pas.
• 19:12
  Larry Wilson: And I literally thought, I have no idea what you said.
• 19:18
  Larry Wilson: He said it slowly.
• 19:19
  Larry Wilson: I thought, and then I saw the subtitle said there's no such thing as luck.
• 19:25
  Larry Wilson: Yes.
• 19:26
  Larry Wilson: Now, as soon as I saw the subtitle, I could say, Oh, chance, luck.
• 19:32
  Larry Wilson: Yes, n'existe pas, doesn't exist.
• 19:35
  Larry Wilson: Okay, but it's very interesting what you're saying about immersion, yes.
• 19:41
  Larry Wilson: Um very, very interesting.
• 19:45
  Larry Wilson: Uh, Rachel Pierre.
• 19:46
  Larry Wilson: Uh, this, you know, I have to say a couple things again.
• 19:50
  Larry Wilson: I have to cut this short because I'm gonna be tormented unmercifully by my producer.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I'll also have to jump on a close soons, yes.
• 19:58
  Larry Wilson: Oh, good, all right.
• 19:59
  Larry Wilson: Well, but um could we do this again sometime?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I'd love to.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I'd love to.
• 20:06
  Larry Wilson: My I it makes me wish I had some reason to speak French.
• 20:11
  Larry Wilson: Um I'll have to try and see if I can come up with some excuse.
• 20:15
  Larry Wilson: But um, but the stuff you're talking about is so in line with Wilson method.
• 20:21
  Larry Wilson: And and what Rachel's talking about here when she's talking about immersion and putting these phrases, which I think is great, on all these items, on the mirror where you brush your teeth, on the coffee maker.
• 20:35
  Larry Wilson: It's so much in keeping with when I encourage people.
• 20:40
  Larry Wilson: I always say you have to learn the material so well that you don't have to think about it.
• 20:51
  Larry Wilson: And I'm I'm the most guilty person of all when it comes to another language.
• 20:58
  Larry Wilson: I've not yet been able to do that.
• 21:00
  Larry Wilson: I haven't fortunately had the pressing need to be able to do it, but uh it's so interesting to hear you say this.
• 21:06
  Larry Wilson: Now, I also have to ask you uh tell me in in English you have the faintest accent.
• 21:15
  Larry Wilson: Faintest.
• 21:16
  Larry Wilson: It sounds to me Haitian.
• 21:21
  Larry Wilson: Yes.
• 21:21
  Larry Wilson: It sounds, but it's very faint.
• 21:24
  Larry Wilson: It's almost undetectable.
• 21:26
  Larry Wilson: But tell me the couple of uh sentences you've rattled off in French in French sound like Parisian French.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Um sounds like Parisian French, okay.
• 21:42
  Larry Wilson: Is that is that accurate or am I imagining that?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, you said this the sentences that you heard me say in French sounds like Parisian French.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: So that is an amazing uh that's actually a a great compliment.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And great observation because a lot of people ask me, but so if you're Haitian, then you speak Haitian French.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: And I can appreciate that comment because yes, it is true that most Haitians do not speak Parisian French or French French.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: It is very, and they do that on purpose, is because you know the history between Haiti and French, back when French colonized the country.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: And so for a lot of Haitians, they see speaking French as speaking the language of the colonizers.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And so, yeah, so their French sounds a little different.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: It it sounds more um tropical, it sounds more Caribbean, right?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And so it does make people skeptical where they're like, so you speak Haitian French, not Haitian French, not French French.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: And I say, no, I speak French French.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, in 2018, I was chatting with locals, and I had told them that I was from New York, which at this time I did live in New York for like 20 years.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And um they said, Rachel, I I think you lied to us.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: You're not from New York because your French is better than most Parisians we know.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: That was such an amazing compliment.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I wish my dad was there to hear it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: And I laughed, but they weren't laughing.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: They're like, no, no, no, no, no.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Don't tell us you're American because there's no American speaks French better than us.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna take that.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: And I said, well, guess what?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I'm still not Parisian, I'm from Haiti.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: And there was this silence where it it felt like they saw me differently.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: You know, I felt so respected.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Like, wow, this woman from the Caribbean, her French is like, you know, almost perfect.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: And that was the best appointment ever.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: And that's what encouraged me to do this because um I and then at the at the time, a businessman overheard the conversation, walked over to me, told me that he overheard the conversation and he has a business negotiation coming up in three months.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Can I cook can I coach him?
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: That's where this and turns out he was a billionaire that nobody knew.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: So I'm so glad you picked up on that.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, my French is definitely Parisian French, French French.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: And because I I grew up, you know, in the school that I went to uh up until high school was a you know uh French Catholic school.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So that's why.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: And also my dad made sure that I um spent my foundational years speaking just French, you know, no Creole, no other language.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: He wanted it to be impeccable.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Also, my dad was a lawyer, a DA, a judge, and so he spoke French day in and day out, you know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Um, and he wanted to his daughter to be as eloquent as he is, and so he was very rigid, very, you know, about it, very strict about it.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: And that's why.
• 25:06
  Larry Wilson: Wow.
• 25:07

• 26:09
