Even going down in, you know, I mean, I just posted sometime in my Eastern ground went about 50, 50 miles an hour down the hills, which is, you know, I mean, it's a feeling you can explain if you're not a skier. So I have a question. Did you ever jump out of an airplane? Yes, yes. As in my years, I've done that, helicopter ski, back mountains, I've done, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:06:16 So that's on my bucket list, and I plan to do that this year. Okay. Yeah, I'm scared, but I'm going to do it. Susan is almost over. You know, I think the best time to do it, Susan, is to do it in the spring when we have, what they call a corn snow, which is a little icy on top of a soft snow. So it's much easy. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:06:37 No, I don't mean jumping out of an airplane and skiing. I meant just jumping out of an airplane. Susan doesn't ski. Oh, skydiving, you're talking about. Skydye. I've done that. I've done that as well, yeah. Is it fun?
Starting point is 00:06:49 It's fun. Yeah. I mean, there is the rush that, that 30, 35-second rush when you fell off and you feel like you really drive by the gravity. And then after that, you just, you know. Okay, Pascal, wait a second. You ski, you jump out of airplanes, you do back terrain, you travel. What's still on your bucket list to do? Oh, you know, I mean, I've done a lot in my lifetime.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I've covered almost 80 countries. I still want to go to Peru, to Montepichie. That's one of my... I've climbed. I did the trek in Machupecichu. I did it. It was incredible. I've done a lot of Asia.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I've done Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, India. Well, your 70th birthday is coming. So what are you going to do for your 70th birthday? You know what? I'm going to stay home and I'm going to let that day go by. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. I'm going to stay home and just forget about that day.
Starting point is 00:07:50 and move out to the next day. What have you been up to? What have you been up to since Jones' season? What I've been up to? I've done a lot of... I'm involved in a lot of charities, so I'm putting more effort into it. I still have a business around,
Starting point is 00:08:07 which from the... You know, I have a very good manager, Lisa, and social media directors who's taking care of that part of the business. So I make an appearance, I'm there. I'm just making sure that the operations running properly, I go to a lot of events, you know. I mean, I'm always, I have a very busy social life. I am
Starting point is 00:08:29 always out. As you know, I don't cook, I don't clean and I do laundry. And actually, I want to get back to that because some people, and I don't follow anything in social media. I'm not really there and responding. I don't look social media. I post few times of what I do, but I have someone in my office who is in charge of my social media. And there is a mixed emotion about mixed feeling about the person that I am. Okay. They think I'm a prima donna. They think I'm this. They think I'm that. You know, and I just think then without knowing the person, how could you judge the person? Okay? That's right. Number one. Number two, I believe then time is money. And with money, you could buy the time. So it is better for me to be in my salon, behind my chair,
Starting point is 00:09:17 making the kind of money I make and have a wonderful housekeeper who come up and take care of my home. And do the little things, yes. And then being, I thank you, Suzanne, I believe you were in the beauty industry, am I right? Yes, because I wrote you and you never responded to me. Maybe that's because you don't answer your own social media. Yeah, don't take it personally, Susan, because I really don't answer anything because I have hundreds and hundreds of text messages. and I'm really not very good at that stuff. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I didn't take it personally. However, what I shared with you was I felt you, especially the one episode on your show, when you bear bones, if you will, you told where you came from, what your life was like and what you do. And I definitely identified because I was behind the chair for 40 years as well. And it's a fabulous business.
Starting point is 00:10:13 People don't understand who we are. Yes, it is, and I think because of us being in the service business and catering to people all day long, okay, please them and make them feel good about themselves. So when I'm done working, I don't feel like going groceries and start making my meals, you know, I want to be taking care of because I take care of people all day long. So I'm going to step the record straight with all our fun. I am not a prima donna, okay. I'm a prima don't. I mean, he skis all over the world, he helis skis, he's been to every country in the world. But he's not a prima donna.
Starting point is 00:10:53 He enjoys his life. You enjoy your life. I work hard and I play hard. So I want to know, Pascal, you, your son, very handsome young man. How many children do you have? I have three children. I have been married twice. I have a daughter of a 30, three years of.
Starting point is 00:11:16 named Natalie. She's the one actually who signed me up for the golden bachelor. Yes, yeah. Beautiful. And I think you saw her when we did the homecoming. She was talking to John. So that's my older daughter, Natalie. I have a son, Maxim, which I raised. I was a single parent
Starting point is 00:11:32 for about since he was eight years old, so at least 22 years old. So I was raising by myself because he wanted to live with me. And I took the responsibility. I've been a single father. So that was a very challenging time of my life, having him and running my business because at the time
Starting point is 00:11:48 I had five locations and 175 employees. So imagine how shunky was. So I raised my son Maxim which is going to graduate actually in May 10 from Bloomington, Indiana, Kitties School of Business, which I'm very proud of him.
Starting point is 00:12:05 And that's for my second marriage. And I have a daughter for my second marriage named Sarah who actually am very proud of it. She made the Dean's List at the Loyola University which wants to be a nurse, which... Which loyola? Which one?
Starting point is 00:12:21 No, you know, there's one downtown in Chicago, on the lake. There's a lot of loyolas. Okay. Chicago in Chicago on the lake, yeah. Ah, good for her. I'm Jemail Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation
Starting point is 00:12:41 about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you, that they won't say publicly. Many of them are in fear of their political lives and that's been part of the challenge but we continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituents, to stand
Starting point is 00:12:58 up for your constituents and there's life after Congress and you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the House of Representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in
Starting point is 00:13:14 three and a half years but their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever.

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different.
Starting point is 00:15:23 On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. The 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club. A new podcast called Wisecrack,

My dating life is, you know, I'm single, and I'm not single because nobody wants me. okay, I'm single because the one I want don't want me.
Starting point is 00:17:18 So the rumor is, Pascal, this is your opportunity to set the rumor mill straight. We have heard through the grapevine and through social media that you tend to like much younger women. True or false? Absolutely wrong. I think I made a comment. You know, sometimes the language barrier makes me said, And when I look at back, I said, what did I said? When I went to interview and I said, I don't go out with a 72 years old woman.
Starting point is 00:17:51 That's not what I want to meet. That's not what I'm trying to say. I said, I want to go out with an age appropriate. I don't go out with anyone under 50, 55. Okay, so I want to set the record straight. I don't go out with a young kid. And actually, if you look at my social media and the message I got as from all those young girls, we think I'm fabulous and wonderful.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I will not go out with anyone who is under that age. So 50 or 55 is your minimum. 55, 60, 65, depend, depend, depend on the person, right. Exactly. You know, you could have a 65 years old woman who know how to take care of herself who's into health and fitness, who know how to dress to put yourself. I have no problem with the age, but it has to be age-appropriate, you know. And so again, the racco street, I do not go out with young women.
Starting point is 00:18:47 No 20-year-olds. Do not DM him. You can thank me later for that. Susan, I know then you have an interview, Michael, which I've had a very good friend of mine. And Michael came up and so Pascal came up and he put, he come up with his Astin Martin. And you ask him, did he come up with his 20 years old Wong? Okay. I want to set the record straight with you, Susan.
Starting point is 00:19:09 No, wasn't me? I didn't talk to Michael. I do not go out with young women. Okay, so let's set the record straight and down, okay? And you know what? If you did, I wouldn't care because I go out with younger men. Yeah, but I mean, it's not, you know, I mean, I just think 55 is still a younger woman. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:31 So I think to me it's not the age, is the energy, the bites, the what she has to offer. A woman has 65 years old who have more energy than me. I'm 70 and I got more energy than a 45 years old woman. You know what I mean? So Kathy talks, yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, I don't judge you. Never would.
Starting point is 00:19:52 I don't care. To me, it's about the person. I don't care how old you are. However, I'd like somebody on the same level as I am. Yes, yes. Energy, energy interests, like you said, Pascal, someone who takes care of themselves. It's all, you know, that's what's important.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, I mean, I try to live a healthy lifestyle. I don't drink alcohol. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I try to eat healthy. I go to the gym five days a week because that's sometimes who makes me feel good about myself. You know, I think I think you, if you take care of yourself, it's all about.
Starting point is 00:20:30 And, you know, that's what is important to me. So what would you think is a fun date? Like if you were to take a woman out and you wanted to impress her and make her have a fabulous time, what kind of a date would that be? Me, I'm extravagance that date. I was just going to tell you an interesting story. I met somebody who was supposedly coming in town, and I told you earlier, I'm not single because there is nobody wants me.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I'm single because the one I want don't want me, okay? So I met a few months ago somebody who I met online, she thought I was great, whatever, and then we start FaceTime in each other and talking to each other for a while. I say, hey, why don't I fly you to Chicago, and let me show you a town. So the date was, we're going to go see a concert, okay? We're going to take an helicopter ride on top of Chicago to shoulder the city from the sky. I was going to take to the VIP opening of the James Bond exhibition in the Science and Museum.
Starting point is 00:21:29 That's a good date. Wait, I have to interrupt, Pascal. Susan, why were me invited on this date? We'll date you, okay? You can take us up. I've said, if I have, if I, if I was a woman, I would like to date me. Yes, yes. I think I leave, you know, I am very fortunate and blessed to have the lifestyle than I have
Starting point is 00:21:54 where money is not an issue and I could do anything I want, you know. Okay, wait, I have to interrupt, I have to interrupt Pascal. Tell me about, you know, obviously you did not get that accent in, in Chicago. Tell me, where did you, you grew up in Paris outside of, where did you grow up and did you make your money in this country? Like, where did this all come from? Okay, so I'm originally born in Casablanca, Morocco, from a Jewish family who immigrate in the late, the early 60s from Morocco. As you know, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco was a French colony. Yeah. And in the 1960s, early 60s,
Starting point is 00:22:38 the the Moroccan government turned over, the French give it back. And we had two way to go. My parents are a Jew from my father's side, the old one to Israel. And my mother said that she didn't want to go to Israel. So I moved to Paris when I was one years old. Okay, so I was raised in Paris. I was raised in Paris. When we moved to Paris, and I think I said that a little bit in the show,
Starting point is 00:23:05 And we're living in the Paris, you don't know. I mean, you know, when you say, oh, you're from Paris. The Paris, you see, that's not the Paris where I live. You understand? The Paris where I live are the project, are the substandard houses, are the struggling for monies. I come from a family of eight children. My mom and dad were working very hard to feed us all.
Starting point is 00:23:31 We were in food stamp. Life was very, very difficult as a young age. I had an opportunity to move into the state because I was in the beauty business. And, you know, being a Jew at the time, being into the beauty business was labeled at being homosexual, because at the time, there was a lot of homosexual wanted to be studies. And my parents were fighting me. They really put me to hell because that's what I wanted to do. I felt like that was my colleague.
Starting point is 00:24:02 That was my passion. That was my gift. I've always felt very comfortable with. woman. So I went to beauty school and after beauty school I had to go to the army because I've used to see in France. It's one year mandatory. We have to go to the army. I serve my country. And then after the army, I went back into the beauty industry. I graduated from beauty school. We went back to the beauty industry and I was working most likely in a fashion house where, you know, those runway, those Yves-Saron, Christian Jor, Ted Lapidus, Cardin, line doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:24:35 days, I was working in the backstage, doing the hair for the model and everything. It's a lot of work, isn't it? It's very hard of work. It was a lot of work. It was a lot of work. It was a lot of work dealing with a lot of in and out, and you've got to be quick and fast, the updo, the chignon and stuff like that. And then at time, I was running, I was running as a model. I've done a lot of wrong with model. One time also, I want to say something interesting, okay? When I go somewhere, people come up and say, oh, you're the bachelor, the bachelor, oh my God, you might. much taller than you. I said, what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:25:10 She said, yeah, in TV, you look like you're little guy. And I said to the same, I said, you know what, if you put me next to a six foot five, three hundred pounds. Of course, I'm five, eleven, I'm a hundred and sixty-five pound, okay? I'm not that little. Okay. Wait, Pascal, you know what they said to me when they see me? Oh my goodness, how did you lose so much weight? I said, I didn't lose any weight.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Oh, you look so much heavier on TV. I got great, thanks. Okay, so wait, I want to jump forward. I want to jump. So you came to the United States. I came to the United States, and I didn't speak a world of English. I had probably a couple dollars in my pocket, you know, but I had a lot of dreams. And then from there, I had an opportunity to walk from a salon named Charles.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I figured in downtown, who was very popular, who was looking to have. some studies from France and so I came up here but the problem is I didn't speak a word of English okay I had no obviously I didn't have much education because I went from high school to trade school trade school to the army army to do so I didn't speak a word of English and I had no money so I was working as an assistant sweeping the floor as you know shampo in the hair go buy you lunch clean up your station and what I was doing as an assistant you know you don't make any money and I needed to survive. So I had a job as a bass boy, okay, in a hotel.
Starting point is 00:26:40 So after work, I was taking the boss, go to Macombie place, which I met somebody was at the head of a food and beverage. And so I was cleaning table. I was doing dishes. I was sweeping the floor. I was doing whatever I needed to do to get a little bit extra money. And on the two days I was going to the Y to learn the language. I was just going to say, where did you learn to speak English?
Starting point is 00:27:04 Yeah, to language and watching TV. So I learned my English. That's why my English is a broken. It's good. No, you're good. You just have an accent. So wait a minute. So you clearly have been very successful.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Your kids are successful. What your ex-wife, how long were you married to each of your wives? My first wife, I got married when I was very young. That was what we call fatuation. Yeah. And when we had the fatuation was gone. realized and we didn't have much in common and we get divorced in a very amicable way. And my first wife's from Canada, Calgary.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And we, as today, are very good friends. My second wife, I was in a rebound of a relationship. And, you know, I love her girly. She's a wonderful woman. We have two kids together. And unfortunately, we didn't have the same vision of life. So we were married for about five years. And we have two kids together.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yeah. Do you want to get married again? I mean, you know, I'm not... I mean, that was not a proposal, Pascoe. That was not a proposal. You know, I just think then, you know, in the age where we have, I think I would like to have a solid partner. Somebody, I would like, I'm looking for my best friend.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I'm looking for somebody. I'm looking for my best friend. Somebody I could talk to, somebody who is there for me, somebody who understands my need and value, who understand my lifestyle, who appreciate somebody, somebody who's got some time on their own. Because I'm a great believer in a marriage or in a relationship, there is your life, what you do with your friend.
Starting point is 00:28:46 There is my life. What I do with my friend in our life, what we do together as a couple. So I want a woman who is extremely secure, who is independent, who has a sense of style, who know how to hold a knife and fork. I mean, my son silly, but to hold and a half of the fork, who has a proper, you know, who has this, you know, I'm in the fashion. She has to chew with her mouth closed, too.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Exactly, exactly, exactly. Chew is about clothes and know how to cut the piece of. Can you imagine sitting across? You might be very surprised, Katty. You might be a surprise, yeah. Can you imagine sitting across the table and the person's chewing with their mouth wide open? I would, I would address it right now. Let me just say.
Starting point is 00:29:30 I could not do it. Pascal. What you're saying is so true for me. When I go on in a date with a man, of course, I expect the door to be opened for me and all those things. But I do. I watch how. Do they know how to use a knife and fork? Do they know what a difference between a salad fork and a dinner fork?
Starting point is 00:29:49 Do they know what side of the bread and butter plate? I mean, I look at those things. And a spoon on top of the plate in the front. Yes. So I have a question to ask you. On the show, you seemed like you bond it with several of the men. Can you tell me about the relationships that you built? You know, it's interesting because, you know, I mean,
Starting point is 00:30:12 when I walk into the mansion, I try to find my peers. You know, there's a lot of different people. You've experienced that. You've got 23 strangers and you try to find out where do you fit in those 23 people. And I'm a little bit, you know, I'm not shy, but I'm very selective about who I want to associate myself with. And so I was looking around the room and obviously, you know, when Mark walking to the bar, everybody said, oh, Mark is here, Mark is here, Mark is here. I didn't know who was Mark. And I said, who is Mark?
Starting point is 00:30:50 I mean, it's like, oh, he's the Kelsey. I haven't watched any of the show. And I have the chance to talk to him. And I definitely Mark abandoned with him because I like his kindness. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's got a very soft approach. He's a, how you call it, very gentle.
Starting point is 00:31:11 And I like that about him. Then the other guys, I would say, I think the guy was the most fascinating to me was Maroumet, Greg. Okay. Greg was the highest IQ of all of us. I enjoy the conversation I had with him He was just a debating conversation Which I found very very exciting to be able to
Starting point is 00:31:37 Learn so much from that guy So that was him Then it's funny because I had a small room So I had CK which I love CK CK needed a little bedtime story Before going to bed Which I thought it was very funny And then then obviously
Starting point is 00:31:54 Then I love Dan He's a great guy You had a good room. You had a good room. Yes. So what's happening is I think because of being so close with those four guys, I bonded with them more than the big room with all the rest of the guys. And, you know, that's basically the guys I was hanging with Mark.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I'm Jamil Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcast Politics. And on the latest episode of politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives, and that's been part of the challenge. But we continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituents, to stand up for your constituents. And there's life after Congress.
Starting point is 00:32:49 And you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your your time in the House of Representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years. But their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever.

Starting point is 00:37:54 and I love when you crack up that smile is worth a thousand million dollars you just smiled and laughed you know what I've always said you know to all the guys in the mansion I say guys you got to leave the moment you got to enjoy your time don't worry about yesterday
Starting point is 00:38:11 there is nothing you can do and don't worry about tomorrow because it's the unknown so enjoy where you are and have a great time with it So to me, that's been my philosophy over the years. And, you know, I've been to some challenging time in my life. I didn't claim the letter straight up.
Starting point is 00:38:28 He has been a lot of plateaus, a lot of peaks and valleys. And, you know, you've got to believe in yourself and move on forward. Very good. Very good. Pascal, we have asked you so many questions. It sounds like you had a great time on the show. Joan wasn't your girl. But we still want to get to know you better.
Starting point is 00:38:46 So we're going to go back a little bit. Who was your favorite band or musician when you were a teenager? Which was like 10 years ago. I would say, you know what, to be honest with you in France, when I was a kid, Elvis Presley had a huge influence on us. Okay. And then we have the French version of Elvis Presley was Johnny Alliday, which is the Elvis Presley of France. So basically what Elvis was singing in English, Johnny was singing. in French. So those were my, definitely
Starting point is 00:39:21 Elvis Prasley was my account. And have you seen the Beatles? I was a little bit young for the Beatles, but, you know, the Let It Be and, you know, those songs have a classic. Yes. I love Elvis as well. Okay. What's the favorite memory that you have when you first came to the United States? What stands out? What stands out? It's very first. funny, I felt
Starting point is 00:39:50 scared. I felt lost. I felt like where am I am I? I'm looking at those building and I see them so tall. I say, wow, this is America. You know, in France we don't have those high highways like you have in here. And then
Starting point is 00:40:06 the first day I arrived here, I went to the loop. I don't know if you know Chicago Loop and you get that L track. And I honestly, I got scared. I got scared about I was over realms, but the magnitude of the street, the magnitude of the cars, everything was big. And I said, wow, how am I going to fit in here?
Starting point is 00:40:29 And I got, that's the memory I will never forget. Then this is the most incredible part of looking at from the fresh eyes, Chicago and the size of it. Have you lived in any other cities, Pascal, besides Chicago? I mean, I've been through all over the country. I mean, I've been to New York, Calais, Florida, Miami, you know, but I think Chicago is still the best city in the state for me. So my ex-husband used to play for the Chicago Cubs, so I lived on the 42nd floor in the high-rise right on Lakeshore Drive, and it is absolutely a stunning of a city. I just loved it there. Did not like the winter.
Starting point is 00:41:11 The winter is very cold. You know, you know, you know what I love about Chicago versus Alley and Versa? versus Miami is we have what we call the four seasons, spring, summer, for winter. And I'm a very big in fashion. I love to dress. So to me, in the winter, I got my coat and my blazer and my letters. And in the spring, I got my light coat and my light sweater. Get to change it up.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Yeah. Exactly. I love. I love it. So to me Chicago gave me really a sense of passion versus California. Okay. Okay. I have a question.
Starting point is 00:41:46 This leads right into it. What would the name of your autobiography be, Pascal? I've got it. I know what the name should be, but you tell me. What do you think should be? I would, your book, if I were right it, it would be my sense of, my sense is fashion. No, I will say more, there is so much to learn. There is so much to learn.
Starting point is 00:42:16 That's a good one. I like it. much to learn. Yes. I think, I think, you know, regardless how old you are, there is different experience in different stage of your life. You're right. And we still have so much to learn. Then we always got to keep up learning to grow as a person. I think to me, that's very important. Mine was enjoy who you are. Yes, a good one. Yes. Good one. Mine was run between the drops. You got to run really fast, Katsi. You got to run.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Okay. How about in America, your favorite food? In America, my favorite food, you know, to be quite in a Swiss, you have a foodie. So I don't eat fast food. I don't eat burgers. I don't eat pizza. No pizza? You live in Chicago and you don't eat a pizza?
Starting point is 00:43:11 Yeah, that's not my time. Give me a nice piece of salmon, sea bass, tuna, groupers. you know, I mean more a fish than I am meat and I don't eat fast food, no, I don't, I don't I don't go to Chipotle or pat bellies or all those This is not my belly. I don't know what that is. Do you eat barbecue?
Starting point is 00:43:34 Pascal, do you eat barbecue? I mean, I've been invited to a lot of barbecue, yes, but I don't. Yeah, I do. If it's some time I like, I would eat the barbecue chicken, but I wouldn't eat ribs or, you know. So I live in Texas where barbecue means
Starting point is 00:43:52 and steak. Pork. Barbecue means pork, ribs, turkey, you know, it's a thing in Texas. And a cowboy steak.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Yeah, yeah. I like a steak. Okay, one more question. If you were stuck on a deserted island and you could only bring
Starting point is 00:44:10 three guys. No, wait, stop, Susan. He can only bring three people. He's bringing three people. He's bringing
Starting point is 00:44:15 in you and me. You get one more, Pascal. Okay, so let me tell you, if I was going in a Dersed Island with the two of you, I'd be honest with you, I wouldn't bring anybody because I want you dedicated attention. So I will be alone. I'll have your attention. I'll entertain you and then we'll have a great time so I don't have no competitions. We would survive, yes. We would survive. Wait, before he answers that question, I have one, I had a question for him. You know, well, I don't know if you know or not, but I used to have much longer hair, and Susan cut my hair. As a hair sounds, is my hair cut good or bad?
Starting point is 00:44:50 You know what? I think it looks good, but again, I see you in a minuscule way, so I can't really, but I trust Susan, been 40 years in the business, I guarantee you then you have a good haircut. Okay, I like it. You got to show them a before and after. That's what you need to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:08 She wait, Pascal, she had it here. It was flipping up. She had all this light in there. I said, mm-mm. yeah no this looks good this looks good yeah okay three men from the shelf you had the only pick
Starting point is 00:45:19 three men from the show okay I will definitely bring a Greg with me because I like that conversation that stimulate back and forth and agree to disagree and come up to a compromise I think he's a
Starting point is 00:45:36 is a man who will definitely entertain me and then and then he does my laundry so I can't Wait, did he really do your laundry? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's one. The second man I will take is definitely Mark, okay, because I think Mark is, Mark calm me. He brings me down a bit.
Starting point is 00:45:59 He's very soothing. I love talking to him because he's a man of soft world, which I am. And by the way, he's dating a beautiful woman. He just entertained them. I know I entertained them to Chicago. I invited him to, we went to a fantastic restaurant, and I took him to the House of Blue, not to the House of Blues, to sow a house for a drink.
Starting point is 00:46:23 We had a great time. She is absolutely fantastic. I am so happy for him. The third guy, oh, my God, my God, the third guy I would take, I would say, K. K. K. K. K. I take K. I take him on a desert island. I take CK because CK and I will create a new fashion or wardrobe in the island because I think he's a very sharp dresser.
Starting point is 00:46:56 He is. And then he always liked the way I dress. So I think the two of us could create a new island's fashion. Which one would make you laugh? all of them I think Greg he's the funniest guy of all he's got a wicked sense of humor okay
