Oh I'm so excited.

I happen to know all three of these gentlemen personally vouch for each of them.

I like them all very very much. Now.

Bachelor number one, our first bachelor, is a retired finance executive. When he's not golfing, he's either at spend class or enjoying the spa. Bachelor number one, you can unmute yourself real quick, but don't go on camera and go ahead and say hello to Kelly.

Please Hello, Kelly.

Oh hi, Hi, Bachelor number one.

In the words of Joey, How you doing? How you doing?

There you go Joey from friends and you're looking good?

Yeah, thank you, Bachelor number three, And don't get too chatty on us, brother. Okay, so you've gotten a chease to hear the beautiful, velvety voices of our three bachelors. So, now, Kelly, before we get into the question and answer portion of this whole thing, what are you looking for and a guy? I mean, you know you're pretty self sufficient. I think of Kelly ben Simon as someone who doesn't need a man, but might want to have a man in her life.

Tell us what you're looking for.

So that's interesting that you just said that I'm someone that you think that doesn't need a man. I of course want to have companionship. And you know, I've always wanted a family for my family, and so it's not that I need a man. I have great, great, great role models in my life that are male. Great. You know, my father was amazing. I have a twin brother, Broba. You love. He's so charismatic like you. So I am very used to very charismatic, charming, you know, renaissance men.

Oh.

I love that.

I love that that's saying, build a family for my family. I think that is really beautiful. Well, I will tell you what you described. I believe you will find in these guys. I've gotten to know them pretty well, and I think what you're describing is out there. It might even very well be on this call for you. So you know how the game is played, right, the old school dating game. Basically, we're going to allow you to ask a.

Series of questions. You keep track.

Whether it be in your head or on paper, doesn't matter to us as to which answers you seem to jive with the best. Just remember, when you ask these questions, you make sure you say you know bachelor number one, bachel number two, bachel number three, so they know who you're talking to. And at the end, we will we will, we will make sure that we get a chance to kind of do a little summation and give you a

Okay, thank you, Bob, You're welcome.

So, Bachelor number three for our first date, what would you do to make me laugh.

Well, Kelly, there's a lot of things I could do to make it laugh.

But one of my unknown talents is that I have a knack for knowing all the words to most of the TV shows from the sixties and seventies. So I could serenade you with anything from Welcome Back Cather to The Beverly Hillbillies to.

Gilligan's Island. So I think you would enjoy that.

If that doesn't make you laugh, at least you'd laugh at me.

Sos.

I like it.

My god, I love that. Bachelor number two, what would you do on our first day to make me laugh?

I just think you being with me is going to be such a fun time. You're just gonna laugh with me. We'll be skipping down the street, We'll be having fun with the people around us, and just the fun that we'll have with each other will make you laugh itself.

So I like to skip me very I'm professional in my professional role, but in my real world, I'm very, very playful. Okay, Bachelor number one, what would you do on our first day to make me laugh?

Well, you know, after hearing these two guys talking about the things he knows from Welcome Back Cotter fun, fun fund skipping a lot of fun. Also, I think a lot of smiles and laughter, touching with each other's hands, and just enjoying the moment. I think it's very important that we enjoy the moment and find something good and funny about those moments.

I love that.

I love that.

Okay, Bachelor number one, because you gave me such a sweet and authentic response. Boxers or briefs.

Definitely boxers.

Bachelor number two, boxers or briefs.

Oh, definitely boxers. I gave up.

Tidy whities were given up. I think in the middle school. Sometimes I have no idea when never again.

Bachelor number three, boxers or breefs.

Well, I'm going to go against these guys because I am a Calvin Klein black brief guy.

Okay, Bachelor number three, because you gave me such a provocative response. If you were here to see me at a restaurant, give me your big, biggest, your best pickup line.

I would maybe I did this because I'm a physician.

I'd go up and say, your heart is making me race, and I need to go to the r right away.

Fire up the engines. Okay, learn number two. If you were to see me at a restaurant, give me your best pickup line.

Excuse me, I seem to have lost my phone number? Can I have yours?

I lost my phone?

Oh that's a good.

Rue and Bachelor number one, if you were to see me at a restaurant, give me your best pickup line.

Darling, you are absolutely stunning. Have I seen you? I think I've seen you someplace before. Have we met? No? Maybe I think I've where Have we met before? And to strike a conversation in that way? I like that.

That's what I would do, just going in for the intimacy, trying to find out how we know each other and then putting me off guard. Oh my, oh my god, do I not know you from somewhere?

Kelly, You're so good at this. You're such a sweet bacherette.

Okay, if you all right? So that was so sweet Bachelor number one that I'm going to ask you the next question. If you were an animal in the zoo, what animal would you be? And why?

That's a good one. The big brown teddy bear, the bear in the in the zoo playful might even be a panda bear.

Oh that's so cute. I love that. They are so cute okay, Bachelor number two. If you were an animal in the zoo, what animal would you be and why?

My favorite animal is a tiger, and I think I relate to the tiger. It's a it's a beautiful animal and uh because no laughing from the goes. Uh, No, it's a beautiful animal. But uh can be very uh very strong, but yet also very uh. Your sleeksh sneaky, you know, in the grass coming up on you. You don't see me coming, and then you just love me so protective.

I love that. Okay, Pastil number three. If you were an animal in the zoo, what animal would you be and why?

Well, I think I would be a cheetah because a cheetah is the fastest animal in the h out in the wild, and uh, that way, I'd be able to chase you down at any moment, cover.

Up the engines, chase me down.

I would take you that and I wouldn't necessarily.

Oh my god, you guys are so much fun now, like SMA, like Bob, I am loving this.

This is good. It's good. I told you you're gonna like these guys.

Batchelumber three, Why aren't you married?

I'm not married because I haven't met you yet.

Okay, Bache number one, why aren't you married?

Okay? So you know, being uh the matured and and and well traveled man, I have to tell you. One thing I've learned is don't chase. It will come to you. It's like a professional athlete who's in a slump and the game has to come to him in order for him to get back in rhythm. And so I'm waiting for mine to arrive and to come to me as opposed to chasing.

You know, I love that because that's how I feel. I feel like the minute you start to chase something, just then it's just like the energy. I mean, I don't need to be like all energy, but I really genuinely agree with that that when you chase people, they're just like they can feel the chase. They can feel and chase. Okay, if you were shipping on an island, how would you make me feel safe, Bachelor number two.

Well, that's easy. We would get our little hut all set up. Number one. I would keep you protected from the wild, from the other tigers that were out there. The fire would be there, I would I would go. We would have our own little cozy spots safe from everyone else, and I would hold you in my arms and just keep you warm at night. You'd be very romantic as well.

I love that you're handy, I mean not hands.

E although, although if you want that, what are you.

Watched it over three? What would you do to make me feel safe on a shipwork down an island?

Well?

When you talk about being shipwrecked on an island reminds me of the movie cast Away with Tom Hanks. And the first thing is I would do is I learned how to make fire.

I've made fire. From there, I'd be able to go out.

I'd be able to catch fish, we would eat, we'd have lots of warmth, and then i'd have you instead of spalding. If you saw, you'll understand it's not I just fell flat on my face.

So if we're on the chipwrek on this island and you make you make a fire for me a UK and I have like a big bag of luggage with all my clothes in case I have to chase.

Something work, I'm really definitely glad about that.

How do you feel about that, Bachelor number two? If I bring a huge bag.

With me on our deserted island, Well, Yeah, you're not deserted until you're there, right, so obviously you were preparing to go somewhere else.

I like that guy like that.

I have no I have no problem with you bringing that bag, but you won't need any of it to while we're on there.

It's just the two of us.

Will you carry it for me?

Of course I carry it first.

Shoulders. Why not you? Bachelor number one? How do you feel about lots and lots of luck? Not like emotional I'm talking, Mike.

Real baggage. Yeah, that baggage.

That baggage.

Yeah, thank you for that clarification, because I was going to ask you mean that's it those skeletons in the closet.

Yeah, no, no, no, I don't bring baggage with me. I've been on ID Part two for too long. I can't. I can't bring it on anymore. Only a carry on.

Kelly, I absolutely love that response. But here's what I would do to ensure you'd be safe. I would keep you close to me. I'd hold your hand, I'd keep you close to me at every turn, and everything that I'd be doing, you would be right there with me, supporting and ensuring that you felt comfortable as far as the luggage goes, I think that would be wonderful and a great way for us to play and act out in different roles or different things and associated with the

I'll be like, okay, batch the number one, you be your favorite housewife and I will be my least favorite house wife.

I will that could be.

So blessed to bring humor to it and try to beat the house.

Oh my god, I feel so sorry for you guys. You're like, what, who is the housewife? Oh? That's my number one? Can you cook a meal first with the twofer? Can you cook a meal in thirty minutes? And number two describe the meal?

So the short answer is yes, within thirty minutes. And the second part of that would be pasta with your choice of of meats or shrimp or whatever. But that's the route. I would go us pasta with a great bottle of wine that we could talk over while everything is prepping. But it would be it would be pasta nice Italian meal.

It's like giving me picture memory of that scene where they're like, we's like making the pasa so cute. I love that. Okay, Bachelor number two, because we haven't hadn't heard from you in a second as number two. If you're going to cook for me and do you cook?

What do you cook? But I'm not going to do it, lady in a tramp pasta like that.

We're going to do in thirty minutes, not a problem. Probably might go to would just be a nice salmon filet, sautata spa, I guess, roasted potatoes. Definitely a bottle of wine to start. Definitely a bottle of wine diring and a little after drink after dinner.

First of all, I love salmon. It's like one of my favorite it's my like, it's my like food my if I could love food, it's salmon. Don't ask me why. I just love it.

Your comfort food always.

I've always had since I was a kid. Don't ask me. I'm from Rockford, Illinois. Where were we getting salmon? But like whenever they had salmon, I was like, oh, love of it.

That's one of the fresh Kroger waters.

Yes, love I love that. Love the wine. That's a vibe. Okay, since you were such a great vine with the wine and the salmon. Bachelor number two, I'm a chicken and you're a rooster. Give me your sexiest mating call.

I almost screwed up and did a turkey.

That works.

Let's see.

Doodle doo here, A little one that's good?

A doodle do I want to do you a little one?

Is that your choice? Bachelor number two.

Bastally number three, if you were a If I'm a chicken and your rooster, give me your sexiest meeting.

I don't get to tell you what I would make it for dinner, yet you can.

You can tell me.

I don't seale from Batslan number two, but it would be a grilled filet at one hundred and twenty five degrees in internal temperature, followed by grilled salmon seven minutes on the skin side and flip it over to the other cooked at four hundred and forty five.

That would be.

Along with that, there'd be caprisy salad girl, the girled asparagus same time, sweet potato fries, and very nice glass of shardon I if that's what you'd like.

One and forty five. Now you're intimidate.

It's easy.

It's so hot so listen.
