Speaker 1: Any news on Hinge for you?
Speaker 3: No? But I think I met somebody, and I think
Speaker 3: I went on a date yesterday, but I'm not one
Speaker 3: hundred percent.
Speaker 1: How do you not How do you not know if
Speaker 1: you want on a date? Are you unclear?
Speaker 3: So we like hung out. We met at a concert,
Speaker 3: then we hung out in a group together, and then
Speaker 3: he just asked if I wanted to go out to
Speaker 3: Geddy and we did.
Speaker 2: But Gatty is if you go to a museum, that's
Speaker 2: a yeah, okay, But I mean for sure he's trying
Speaker 2: to make an impression. Wow, yeah, it's a date. Imagine
Speaker 2: if it lasted seventy nine days.
Speaker 1: Or eighty days? How did you feel with this guy?
Speaker 1: Would you feel good about that?
Speaker 3: I like them, so yeah, I think so all right.
Speaker 2: You know, you know, I'm so with you, which brings
Speaker 2: me to this conversation. I'm very excited to have it
Speaker 2: because everybody's got a little different point of view on this.
Speaker 2: So you meet someone on Hinge like Tanya did her
Speaker 2: soon to be hopefully fiance Robbie, and they're going strong.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And Connie and Matt, who are here now, Connie Lee,
Speaker 2: Matt Robertson. They meet on Hinge, they go out twice,
Speaker 2: and then Matt's like, let's go to Costa Rica.
Speaker 1: For a third date. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2: And they get trapped there for seventy nine days on
Speaker 2: this third date because COVID sets in. Aside from the
Speaker 2: COVID part of it, I find it's so romantic. And
Speaker 2: they're joining us right now. You can see all this
Speaker 2: on Netflix. It's a documentary. But Connie and Matt, good morning,
Speaker 2: how are you guys? Good morning?
Speaker 1: How are you so good? All right? Now?
Speaker 2: I have not seen all this, but I cannot wait.
Speaker 2: Isn'ting tanyet they've seen all of it? So tell me, Matt,
Speaker 2: what was what was your thinking in asking Connie after
Speaker 2: two nights out on a trip.
Speaker 4: The first couple of days were really good. I'll start
Speaker 4: by saying that. So I was already in a good place.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, you know, this is off to a great start.
Speaker 4: But to be honest, it was kind of a joke.
Speaker 4: I didn't know if she was joking. I didn't know
Speaker 4: if I was joking. We both kind of talked about
Speaker 4: needing a vacation, maybe somewhere warm, whether it's not that
Speaker 4: good in New York that time of the year. And
Speaker 4: then I couldn't tell if she was backing down. So
Speaker 4: I asked her, Hey, send me a picture of your passport,
Speaker 4: and then she sent it. So I thought, Okay, this
Speaker 4: is really happening.
Speaker 1: Connie.
Speaker 2: Were you excited about the invitation? Are you just saying, like,
Speaker 2: you know what, let's go for it. I had a
Speaker 2: good time. I think he's a normal guy. Let's just
Speaker 2: try it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I was just trying to take your
Speaker 5: risk with it. I thought it was exciting. I was,
Speaker 5: you know, a little bit nervous, not really sure what
Speaker 5: to expect. But you know, this is one of the
Speaker 5: things he's kind of just don't think about it and
Speaker 5: do it and see what happens.
Speaker 2: And so, Matt, you've vlogged so you had your camera
Speaker 2: with you. You guys get the news that, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: you can't get off the island, you cannot leave Costa Rica.
Speaker 1: What was your first reaction, Matt?
Speaker 4: At first, you know, I'm a generally optimistic person, so
Speaker 4: I wasn't freaking out. I was like, Okay, we're going
Speaker 4: to be in Paradise for a few extra days. Like
Speaker 4: for us, it's fine. Where we're drinking, we're hanging out.
Speaker 1: It's good.
Speaker 4: It's not a big deal. Only when we got later,
Speaker 4: you know, a series of cancelations and realized we had
Speaker 4: to like hunker down for weeks and then turn into months.
Speaker 4: Then I started to have a little bit of a
Speaker 4: panic attack.
Speaker 2: Now, Connie, did you would you guys fall for each
Speaker 2: other and then unfall for each other and then fall
Speaker 2: for each other, like.
Speaker 1: What was the seesaw of emotions?
Speaker 5: Like for you, it was a little bit of a
Speaker 5: battle of wills. We both didn't really want to show
Speaker 5: each other like vulnerability or showing that we were falling
Speaker 5: for each other. So it kind of just like built
Speaker 5: on top of that throughout the whole entire time. And
Speaker 5: then it wasn't until towards the end where we're just
Speaker 5: like love not deny it anymore, and yeah, the rest
Speaker 5: is history.
Speaker 2: And Matt, when did you fall in love with Connie
Speaker 2: in the seventy nine days?
Speaker 4: It was kind of like a cumulative effect that kept
Speaker 4: getting stronger and stronger, and then I would have a setback.
Speaker 4: I would try to like deny those feelings, like she said,
Speaker 4: or like push those aside, and like no, no, no, not
Speaker 4: like for a relationship, this is crazy, you know, And
Speaker 4: eventually it just kind of like wore down, and you know,
Speaker 4: we officially became a boyfriend and girlfriend.
Speaker 1: And now your boyfriend girlfriend.
Speaker 4: I accidentally declared it in one of these types of
Speaker 4: interviews because I felt like we were I didn't even
Speaker 4: realize it, and then she called me out. She was like, oh, hey, boyfriend,
Speaker 4: So she made me ask her actually when we got
Speaker 4: back in Dallas, and then I officially.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm a lady.
Speaker 1: It's called the Third Date. You can see all this
Speaker 1: on Netflix.
Speaker 2: So I love it, Like I love the idea that
Speaker 2: if you think you like someone, let's go on a weekend.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the desert, Let's go to Vegas, let's
Speaker 2: go to Cabo, Let's just do it, like let's let's
Speaker 2: go for it. And I think it'd be so cool
Speaker 2: because Tanya is like, well, why would you want to
Speaker 2: be trapped with somebody for seven nine days you didn't
Speaker 2: know if you liked them? Well, I would not in
Speaker 2: mind somebody somewhere like that if I didn't think I
Speaker 2: liked them, and then to get to know them, and
Speaker 2: I have no pressures of like having to go to
Speaker 2: work and all the stuff that gets in the way
Speaker 2: of cultivating relationship.
Speaker 1: I find it to be so romantic. You too, You
Speaker 1: learn a.
Speaker 4: Lot like traveling with somebody.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 4: I think test seventy nine days might be a little
Speaker 4: much for most people, even us. Maybe just the weekend
Speaker 4: that it was supposed to be would have been the
Speaker 4: perfect amount of time, but hey, everything happens.
Speaker 1: For a reason. But that's a true test.
Speaker 3: I think if you guys can get through that, you're
Speaker 3: gonna be able to get through anything.
Speaker 2: Well, don't break up, please, because like we're invested in
Speaker 2: all this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, So let's make this.
Speaker 2: Work longest third Date. It's streaming on Netflix. Connie Lean
Speaker 2: Matt Robertson, thank you guys for coming on. Nice to
Speaker 2: meet you.
Speaker 4: Likewise, thanks so much congratsak care bye.
