On this Speed Dates episode, host Joel Kim Booster talks to the hilarious Zach Zimmerman about growing up in and escaping the church, and the reality show moment that’s making him believe in love, but really he is here to tell us not about a bad date, but about the viral fallout from a date that never even happened! And actually, the joke’s on you, because Zach’s mom DID buy him those shoes.
