Reality Stars from Two Different Worlds Jan 07, 2020

Show notes

Matt and Tiffany are no strangers to dating in front of a camera. Between his experience on Bachelor in Paradise and hers on Fetch Me a Date, the two already have plenty in common, which is why Kendall Long thought they'd be a perfect pair to experience a podcast date together! This date proves to show they had even more in common than they had originally anticipated - they're both from the south, both grew up playing soccer, and they even open up enough to reveal that they both want 3 kids someday. But Matt and Tiffany have been burned before from their on-camera dating experiences, which they discuss during the In-Depth Questions sections. Will their past experiences keep them from experiencing something new and exciting with each other?
