Speaker:

Sure.

Speaker:

Welcome to the Emily and Paris fans podcast.

Speaker:

I created this podcast for fans, just like you will love Emily and Paris and

Speaker:

are super excited to binge out on the new season of Emily and Paris on Netflix.

Speaker:

Let's watch the new season together and talk about fashion, love,

Speaker:

relationships, and life in Paris.

Speaker:

I'm dimple.

Speaker:

Dang.

Speaker:

I'm your host.

Speaker:

I'm a marketing expert podcast, coach and podcaster state bar T.

Speaker:

Hey there.

Speaker:

So for those of you who did not get to tune in to season one of Emily and Paris,

Speaker:

and you just somehow discovered this amazing show right now, I'm going to

Speaker:

give you guys a quick recap of season one.

Speaker:

So you will not be lost when you go to season two.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

So Emily.

Speaker:

Is a Chicago girl, which is the same city that I'm originally from.

Speaker:

And she works at a marketing PR firm.

Speaker:

And her boss is actually supposed to go to Paris, but her boss cannot go.

Speaker:

And instead she sends Emily.

Speaker:

So Emily shows up to Paris for this job, not knowing an ounce of French or

Speaker:

anything, but she's very enthusiastic.

Speaker:

And she's very excited and Elise she's fashionable.

Speaker:

So she fits right in and she shows up and Sylvie, who is her boss?

Speaker:

Doesn't really like her too much in the beginning, but Sylvie seems like the

Speaker:

type of person who's hard on everyone.

Speaker:

So she probably doesn't open up to people too quickly.

Speaker:

I think it takes her some time and that's okay.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

Emily's in Paris now.

Speaker:

And she's so excited and she still has a boyfriend in Chicago, but

Speaker:

her boyfriend ends up not liking this whole long distance thing.

Speaker:

And he's like, Hey, Emily, either you move back to Chicago or I'm going

Speaker:

to break up with you and Emily's thinking, no, I don't think so.

Speaker:

I'm in Paris with this amazing job opportunity that is once in a lifetime.

Speaker:

And I'm not coming back to Chicago, at least not yet.

Speaker:

So Emily and her boyfriend break up and wherever Emily seems to

Speaker:

go, she just attracts all the men.

Speaker:

I think that it's because she's a little bit it's because she's not from there.

Speaker:

And she's American.

Speaker:

I think that they have an attraction to.

Speaker:

Americans and you have to admit, she is absolutely gorgeous and she's very sweet.

Speaker:

She's got that, you know, beautiful smile and she is quite fashionable and she's

Speaker:

also a little bit entertaining and funny.

Speaker:

So if you look at the little quirks that she has, it is probably appealing to.

Speaker:

So on season one, Emily moves into this building.

Speaker:

And as you guys know in Paris, if you don't know, I'll tell you now,

Speaker:

most buildings did not have elevators in Paris, so everything is stairs.

Speaker:

So she's got a neighbor, you know, that lives in her building and his name

Speaker:

is Gabriel and Gabriel's is like hot neighbor, young, sexy good-looking.

Speaker:

And he also happens to have a restaurant and he's a chef and Emily meets

Speaker:

him and he is just sweet as can be.

Speaker:

And he never really discloses that he has a girlfriend.

Speaker:

Emily had to find out the hard way, poor Emily, but you know, there's a little bit

Speaker:

of a traction, a little bit of flirtation and Emily leans in when she was at his

Speaker:

place and she kisses him one day for us.

Speaker:

He didn't stop her, but he's a guy, but on the same token, Emily at

Speaker:

the time did not know that Gabriel.

Speaker:

Has a girlfriend.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Gabriel has a girlfriend

Speaker:

and her name is Camille and Camille is beautiful.

Speaker:

She's got blonde hair and she comes from a very wealthy family.

Speaker:

And Gabriel's been trying to.

Speaker:

Open up his own restaurant, but he doesn't really have the funds to do it.

Speaker:

And she's been talking to her family and saying, Hey, you know, my family will

Speaker:

invest in your restaurant, but you know, Gabriel, he's a different kind of guy.

Speaker:

He's not like someone who's just going to use her for that

Speaker:

or take her family's money.

Speaker:

. He believes in working hard.

Speaker:

He believes that he wants to do it on his own.

Speaker:

He doesn't really want their relationship dynamic to be

Speaker:

about her family, helping him.

Speaker:

And I think he would just feel awkward.

Speaker:

And quite frankly, I don't blame him.

Speaker:

I think that that dynamic would not work out later.

Speaker:

I think there would be weird feelings.

Speaker:

He would feel like he was beneath them or they might feel like they.

Speaker:

Our better, they did something for him.

Speaker:

So then he owes them something.

Speaker:

And I think he was smart when he just declined.

Speaker:

So that's that.

Speaker:

And so Emily, you know, Scott, all these like different clients, and

Speaker:

then she's got this amazing Instagram page that she has set up for Emily

Speaker:

and Paris and wherever she goes.

Speaker:

She takes all of these amazing photos and she's posting them on Instagram and her

Speaker:

Instagram is really climbing up there.

Speaker:

It's growing and people are engaging they're following.

Speaker:

And she did a really good job of that.

Speaker:

So, great job on that.

Speaker:

And then, and then there was this, woman that's like, oh, Emily,

Speaker:

can I have a meeting with you?

Speaker:

So Emily goes to meet her at like their version of the Ralph Lauren restaurant.

Speaker:

And.

Speaker:

She tells Emily that there's going to be a fashion show.

Speaker:

And can she have Pierre donate a dress for charity?

Speaker:

And suddenly it's like, oh yeah, sure.

Speaker:

I can, I can work it out.

Speaker:

So she convinces pier to donate a dress to charity and this dresses, very couture.

Speaker:

It's beautiful.

Speaker:

And it's, one of those pieces that you would say, it's one of a kind.

Speaker:

And so the model who's supposed to model the dress was not able to make

Speaker:

it to the show and the person in charge of the models comes up and

Speaker:

says, Matthew, do you have like a list of backup models you can call?

Speaker:

Like, what can we do?

Speaker:

And Matthew is like, you know what?

Speaker:

I have the perfect person in mind.

Speaker:

And guess at that perfect person was, of course it was Emily

Speaker:

and Emily gets pushed into.

Speaker:

Modeling this amazing dress on stage and presenting.

Speaker:

And she's like, uh, okay, I guess I'll do it.

Speaker:

She doesn't really have a choice.

Speaker:

I mean, this is business and you know, when you're in that situation, you do what

Speaker:

you're supposed to do to get the job done.

Speaker:

And that's what she did.

Speaker:

But little does she know?

Speaker:

There's like these guys there that are like called gray space and

Speaker:

they're literally remind me of Ghostbusters and that survived.

Speaker:

And there was like an auction to bid on that dress and people are bidding

Speaker:

and they're driving the bid up.

Speaker:

So ultimately they won the bid and they go up to the front by the stage where

Speaker:

Emily was standing there in the dress and they have their, machine guns, like the

Speaker:

ones that you would see in Ghostbusters.

Speaker:

And they shoot at Emily.

Speaker:

And there's like paint and the paint comes out and they don't shoot one time.

Speaker:

They shoot one time, two times, three times, and her dress is

Speaker:

destroyed with all of this paint.

Speaker:

And as a result of that, Pierre is so upset because this is his creation and

Speaker:

everything that happened at that time.

Speaker:

Showed up in the newspapers, literally the next morning.

Speaker:

And he was really humiliated.

Speaker:

He was embarrassed.

Speaker:

He was really just not feeling like leaving his house even

Speaker:

because he just felt like it was so bad for his reputation.

Speaker:

What happened?

Speaker:

And do we blame Emily?

Speaker:

I don't know if I blame her.

Speaker:

I mean, the only thing that she really did is agreeing to donate a dress.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And I guess there's a, there's not really any harm in donating a dress.

Speaker:

the rest of it, it was that she got forced into modeling the dress.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

You guys.

Speaker:

So if she was forced into it, that's that, but she didn't volunteer and

Speaker:

say, oh, I want to model the dress.

Speaker:

And she didn't know, these guys were gonna do what they did and they did.

Speaker:

so the situation is what it is, but I really felt bad for Emily at that moment.

Speaker:

and not just did I feel bad, but at that moment, when Emily goes back

Speaker:

to the office, the next day Sylvie is furious because they lose the.

Speaker:

And she thinks it's because of it's all Emily's fault.

Speaker:

So she fires Emiline.

Speaker:

But in France, from what I heard on the show, you can't really fire people

Speaker:

and it's not easy to get rid of them.

Speaker:

So Emily's colleagues and friends at the firm tell her like, listen,

Speaker:

Emily, you may not know this, but.

Speaker:

They can't fire you.

Speaker:

It's not that easy to get rid of you.

Speaker:

They have to go through all of these different things.

Speaker:

So just come back to work tomorrow.

Speaker:

And so Emily's like, okay, so Emily comes back to work tomorrow

Speaker:

and still be Caesar there.

Speaker:

And so it was like, what are you doing here?

Speaker:

And she's like, oh, you know, you actually can't fire me from what I hear.

Speaker:

So I might as well just come back.

Speaker:

And Sylvie's just kinda like, at this point, she's like, I

Speaker:

can't be bothered with Emily.

Speaker:

Fine.

Speaker:

Emily do whatever, but stat on my way kind of attitude.

Speaker:

And so, pier.

Speaker:

We'll go into this story is that peer also has a nephew and his name is

Speaker:

Matthew and Matthew, you know, has a little bit of a crush on Emily.

Speaker:

And he invites her to, meet up one night and she's like, oh, I have to go to

Speaker:

this art gallery thing with my friends.

Speaker:

He's like, oh, great.

Speaker:

Where is it?

Speaker:

Send me the address.

Speaker:

I'll meet you there.

Speaker:

And he didn't just say it.

Speaker:

He actually showed up.

Speaker:

And after that, I think they grabbed dinner and they were walking and, you

Speaker:

know, on, on a second, date, whatever you want to call it, he invited her

Speaker:

to meet him at this, restaurant.

Speaker:

And she gets there and he's like, she gets there and she doesn't see him.

Speaker:

And she's like, well, where are you?

Speaker:

And he's like, I didn't say.

Speaker:

In the restaurant.

Speaker:

I said, I was by the restaurant and he tells her to come outside.

Speaker:

She goes outside and he is waving to her on this boat in the river.

Speaker:

And that is just so romantic.

Speaker:

And it's exactly what Paris is all about.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

She goes out there and she gets in the boat with him and I think

Speaker:

they had this wonderful evening.

Speaker:

She goes back to his place and they are on the balcony.

Speaker:

He's got the most beautiful view ever.

Speaker:

, and they exchange a kiss and then his phone.

Speaker:

And he doesn't answer.

Speaker:

I think his cell phone rang and he didn't answer, but then the home phone rang

Speaker:

and he's like, oh, I have to get that.

Speaker:

Because the only person who calls me on the home phone is Pierre and

Speaker:

Pierre is really upset right now.

Speaker:

So I have to take this call.

Speaker:

So he got on the phone, he had to leave and Emily was

Speaker:

left there and showed herself.

Speaker:

And then also on the season, Emily, was supposed to arrange a dinner for

Speaker:

her coworkers and the restaurant that she thought she made reservations

Speaker:

that when she got there, they were like, no, we can't fit you in.

Speaker:

We're totally booked.

Speaker:

We don't have any vacancy.

Speaker:

Sorry.

Speaker:

So then she's thinking, well, what do I do?

Speaker:

So she thinks about the fact that Gabriel, you know, has his

Speaker:

restaurant and he's a chef and he's her friend, he's her neighbor.

Speaker:

And she arranges for everyone to go there.

Speaker:

So they go there and Sylvie can see that there's something going on between them,

Speaker:

even if it's just chemistry at this point.

Speaker:

And so after everyone leaves.

Speaker:

Emily goes to talk to Gabriel and she's thinking him and she

Speaker:

kisses him and he kisses her back.

Speaker:

And I think he was a little shocked, but this is not the first kiss you guys.

Speaker:

This is the second kiss.

Speaker:

And then he discloses to her that he's actually leaving and he's

Speaker:

moving to Normandy to open up, you know, a restaurant there.

Speaker:

And at this point, she wasn't expecting that.

Speaker:

So she's so shocked and she's like, wow, he's moving to Normandy.

Speaker:

And at this point, you know, she doesn't really want him

Speaker:

to move, but it is what it is.

Speaker:

And then she also didn't realize that he had a girlfriend.

Speaker:

. So then she sees Camille who she had become friends with,

Speaker:

from meeting her out and about.

Speaker:

And Camille was really friendly towards her and, you know,

Speaker:

always like was inviting her to events and things like that.

Speaker:

So Camille comes by and she's like, oh, Hey honey.

Speaker:

And she gives Gabriel a kiss and Emily's like, I can just see the look on her face.

Speaker:

She's like, oh my God, I didn't know.

Speaker:

You had a boyfriend.

Speaker:

Yeah, Emily, he didn't tell you Diddy.

Speaker:

Hmm.

Speaker:

But you didn't ask him, did you?

Speaker:

But then again, he seemed pretty single to me if I say so myself, but you never know.

Speaker:

So I think it's always a good idea to ask, but Emily's like, oh my

Speaker:

God, like he's leaving and I can just see the look on her face, but

Speaker:

she's also like, oh, I didn't know.

Speaker:

He had a girlfriend.

Speaker:

So I think a little bit, she's kind of like, well, might as well give up on

Speaker:

him, like, where's this going to go?

Speaker:

I'm just going to be the other woman.

Speaker:

And that's no fun.

Speaker:

And the problem is that she can't get him off of her mind and she knows that

Speaker:

he's going to be leaving the next day.

Speaker:

So she goes to the restaurant and the restaurants like.

Speaker:

And she's banging on the door and then he, he come and then Gabriel comes out from

Speaker:

the side door and he's like, are you okay?

Speaker:

Are you looking for me?

Speaker:

What's going on?

Speaker:

And she's like, yeah, I was looking for you.

Speaker:

And then she, you know, she, she talks to him and he's like, yeah, I'm pretty

Speaker:

much, you know, going to be gone tomorrow morning and this is happening.

Speaker:

And she's like, oh my God, like really?

Speaker:

Are you sure?

Speaker:

And he's like, yeah, it's for the best.

Speaker:

And so one thing leads to another and Emily and Gabriel ended up hooking

Speaker:

up and she has the most amazing sex.

Speaker:

At least that's what you says on episode two.

Speaker:

And she can't get him out of her mind.

Speaker:

And then she rushes over in the morning.

Speaker:

Cause she just has to see him one last time before he goes and she misses

Speaker:

him and she goes to the restaurant and everything seems locked up

Speaker:

and she gets her and she says that Anton is sitting there and

Speaker:

Antone's like, oh, Hey Emily.

Speaker:

And she's like, Hey, what are you doing here?

Speaker:

I was like, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm buying this place.

Speaker:

So Anton ends up being the investor.

Speaker:

For the restaurant and he wants to rename it, redo it.

Speaker:

And guess what you guys, Gabriel is not going to Normandy.

Speaker:

Gabriel is staying in Paris and now the drummer really begins because

Speaker:

Emily finds herself in a little bit of a love triangle, and she feels

Speaker:

very guilty because Camille is supposedly her friend and Gabriel.

Speaker:

Well, we don't know what he is yet, but he's definitely hot.

Speaker:

And you guys would just have to tune in to see what happens.

Speaker:

And if you listen to my next episode, I'm going to give you guys a sneak

Speaker:

peek into, into season two episode.

Speaker:

One of some of the things that are going to happen, as well as the

Speaker:

sneak peek into some of the new characters that are going to be.

Speaker:

On this season.

Speaker:

And I will say so myself, that there is a new character that is

Speaker:

going to be a little bit of a love interest for Emily spoiler alert.

Speaker:

And his name is Elfie on the show and he's a sarcastic Brit and he is a he's.

Speaker:

Like he's got some serious sex appeal.

Speaker:

So you guys will just have to tune in on Netflix to see who this new guy

Speaker:

is and see the chemistry between them because you know, Gabriel's hot too.

Speaker:

So just like, oh, Emily, you are a rockstar because you get

Speaker:

all the hot guys, all of them.

Speaker:

And you know what, in Chicago.

Speaker:

I don't know what you're doing at that guy.

Speaker:

He seemed a little boring.

Speaker:

Emily.

Speaker:

I'm glad you got rid of them.

Speaker:

All right.
