This is an IHeart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Welcome back to I-Depart 2.

It's Kelly Ben-Simon, one of your celebrity mentors here on the pod.

I am having so much fun with this show. And I've been really open about putting myself back out there into the dating scene and just being really open to meeting people and having a good time.

So today we're going to talk about setups, not only in the romantic, but also in the

platonic.

So we're meeting Cheryl Burke, who I love so much.

And also my producers, Amy Sugarman and Heather Mundy, are also have set me up and are going to set me up with a platonic relationship,

a new friend, and a romantic one. So I have a lot of fun intel. So what we want people to

know is this is real, right? It's not, it's not like we didn't cast this person. It's not a celebrity.

This is an actual real setup that we hope on the romantic one that you'll really possibly like

this guy. So it's totally real, but we do have his permission to give all the details.

So we want to take everyone on this journey with you.

Yes.

This has been very exciting and very fun.

So Amy Sugarman introduced me to a really nice guy.

He's a lawyer. What do we call him? Do we call him tennis man? Do we call him? Yeah, because he's a real guy, because this is a real guy. Not a famous person, not a person on a dating show, not a person who wants to be on the reality show. It's a real guy. So we just got to give him a nickname. what are we calling him the tennis man no we're going to call mr tennis oh mr tennis okay that's really good okay
