Bouchard predicted an Atlanta Falcons victory on Twitter with the team ahead 21-0 during the Super Bowl, but Goehrke challenged her and said she would have to go on a date with him if the New England Patriots won, which they did 34-28.
When podcaster Dan Katz recently asked her how close she was to going on a date with a loser weirdo and a complete stranger, she replied: “I was completely terrified because his profile picture on Twitter was a picture of Tiger Woods. I thought this is obviously not [Tiger] Woods. It’s just amazing how the date turned out.”
She explained how she went on to become a good friends of Goehrke. “It was one of those crazy stories. It was the worst score ever and I was betting against Tom Brady and we saw the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history. The timing of it all was outrageous. The next day people were stopping me and asking, ‘hey, are you that Twitter girl?’ ” remarked Bouchard.
