Matt and Patricia have a lot in common. One way being that they were both born and raised in Macomb, IL. Another is that they both are known exclusively by their nicknames in their hometown. Matt, christened as "Clemmens" because there were a billion other Matts, so they were all called by their last name, and Patricia as "Woob", "Wooby", or "Woobish", for reasons we're still trying to figure out. Growing up Clemmens attended the public elementary school and Woob went to the Catholic school. But worlds collided in 6th grade when band and choir brought both Edison and St. Paul students together. This is how Clemmens and Woob first met through mutual friends. They remain in the same friend circle to this very day, but it wasn't until after college that they actually got to know each other and become real friends. As fate would have it, they were starting to get close when Woob had to say goodbye and move to Chicago in pursuit of a job in television. But the long distance didn't pull them apart, and they continued to talk every day until Clemmens plucked up the courage to ask Woob out for dinner. It was the best and the last first date, because the rest is history.
