Speaker 1 (00:01):
Over the years, we've seen couples who've bonded over both
being dog parents, or maybe they're both lizard lovers. Given
a few people who bonded because they are both owners
of human babies.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I love.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I'm pretty sure that's the casual way to say it,
But this might be the first time that we've ever
had two people connect over a different kind of living
creature to plant parents. Honestly, never expected this to turn
into one of the sweetest second date calls we did
all year. And what's better, we got an update on
(00:39):
their unique situation. It's coming up in your second Date
Update update right after this second Date Update date.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We are in the month of Love right now, and
because of that, today we're going to do this entire
second date update in the language of life of French.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Jose take it away, well.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I'll second Day that day known as.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
English second Day.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
I know how a French accent could be unsexy. You
made it happen, Jo.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
We're trying not to scare all of the women off
from listening to the show, just a couple of the
unwanted ones.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
So sorry, lady.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You know what, maybe we just stick to American style
English for this when we talk to our listener Cassie today. Cassie,
I'm sorry, are you okay if we do this in English?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I was loving the French. But you know what, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
You're gonna already she's started out of the gate line.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Just for the record, if you have any other language
requests or like do you want me to do, just
holler at me seriously, start keep talking like that. You're
not going to be single for long. So tell us
about this guy that you went out with recently. What's
his name?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Yeah? Names Derek.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
How'd you guys meet?
Speaker 6 (01:57):
I'm wine and the first date we went a super
upscale mall here in this area. We've got like a
I would say stancy mall because like it's spread out.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I don't have to tell us about upscale malls. We
got there explain nowadays it's like being on Amazon, but
I are, yeah, all the stores, that's okay, and bougie.
That sounds like a nice one. Yeah, it could be fun,
something something to do, things to look at.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
And talk about, like shop, you can drink, you can eat. Yeah,
So what was it like when you very first met Derek?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
So honestly, I felt like we hit it off, like
right off the bat. There was chemistry there. We walked
around just like looking at stuff, and we ended up
going to like a nursery, not like the baby like
the kind of plant plant nursery.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It was like, okay, sounds like a perfect day to me.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But they don't.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
They don't have stores where they sell babies, Jose at the.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Mall, even a baby watching day. I know. We just
got a brilliant business idea to sponsored by Brook and
Jeffrey in the morning window.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
You better work on your return policy.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We've got the discount band over here. We have the
whole business mine ready, but sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Okay, I mean cute plant shops are so fun right now.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
He was a little bit more into it than me,
but I was really feeling it, yeah because traditionally, like
I haven't really been a plant person, but I had.
I had a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
So sweet. So he was knowledgeable. He obviously has plans.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Yeah, and he was like, you know what I think
we should do. I think we should pick out a
plant for each other.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Oh and it's kind of forward thinking, like it's like
he wants to see if you could keep it alive,
you know what I mean? Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
I think it's like when you have some like picking
up for you, because it's like, Okay, what do you
really think of me? Let's see what you pick out
based off what you think my personality is.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
That's why you make someone plant a tree that's more
of a commitment.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Than Yeah, okay, that's an interesting idea.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
I like it. What did you take out for him?
Speaker 6 (03:54):
So the one I picked was super cute. It was
like very whimsical. It was called a figetty fig nice.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Better than a venus fly trap or something, you.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Know, right, Okay, So that's like literally what I'm getting
to because what he picked for me was a freaking snake.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Plant snake flip snake but average they live a long time.
They're hard to kill. They are very hard to kill.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
They're sturdy, they're a good first plant for people who
don't have the first plant.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So he obviously doesn't trust that you're able to maintain it,
which is why he bought you a super easy plant.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I didn't really think about it that way. Honestly, I
was like, should I be offended as.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Though because of the snake title? Is that why?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (04:36):
I was just like surprised, you know what, I mean,
because like the one I picked for him was flirty,
cute or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So how did you tell him that you didn't like
the plant that he bought.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I kind of just made a joke of it because
it's like he's still buying me something, right, So I'm
not going to be a jerk about it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You could be a jerk. I'm just saying that's always
on the table to slap the plant down out of
his hands and be like try again.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well I don't think she'd be called us and asking
why he's pretty obvious.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Well, it was like so fun because we acted that
we went out for drinks because there was like a
bar inside the mall, but we brought our plants with
and the whole time I felt super comfortable and like
it even ended with a kiss. So okay, yeah, all.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Right, this all sounds good, Like, I mean, I could
totally understand why you're so confused why he's not calling back.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Yeah, me too, especially since we even named our plants.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Oh they're real plant baby after.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Each other, like what you name them?
Speaker 6 (05:32):
So his plant was Gertrude, yes, and my plant was
leif ericson the Explorer.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, all right, have you texted as leaf ericson.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I mean, that's the obvious, Like misses you ill, they considered.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
It now all I think it was the love for
from the rom com, you know, like you killed our.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Love for your plant is still alive, right?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Oh yeah. You know what's funny is I I did
find out I do have a bit of a green thumb.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
To keep alive.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
But yeah, I'm actually a little bit more concerned about
getting your guys's plants back together because I feel like
maybe they had the real love connection.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
You don't want a separated plant family.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We're gonna call plant daddy Derek and see why he
isn't arranging another date with you when we do your
second date update right after this second date update.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
You're in the middle of a second date update update,
and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing
right after you.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Here Part two, Cassy and Derek have been on one
date and already have two kids together.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Sweet wow, babies. They're babies, yea.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Plant children that they picked out for each other at
a nursery during their date. They even named their plants
Gertrude and leif Ericson.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It's solid solid day, they should Gertrude after.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Brought their plants to the restaurant together, put them in
high chairs with little bibs on, fed them. I mean,
you can assume, you can't assume that they're good parents
like that.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I'm pretty sure they ordered a rounded chicken tenders.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yes, nice and tiny, I mean, pretty normal first date
as far as we've heard.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
It's actually an adorable first date, and they bought plants together.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
The crazy thing is most of the plant enthusiasm was
actually led by Derek, which I didn't expect, so it
is weird that he is not initiating another meet up.
The thing is, we never asked, Cassie, how many days
has it been since that all happened.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
So I haven't seen in five days.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
That's four decades in plant years, so we can only
imagine how your children.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Pretty quick.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
So have you heard from him at all?
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Yeah? So there's been texting, but there's been no initiation
of a second day.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Okay, yeah, well let's call this dud beat dad and
figure out what.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
He's taking care of.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I mean, at least we hope. So I don't like
that he's not talking you, Cassie, So let's call him.
We'll see if he picks up.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Okay, Hello, Hey is this Derek. Yeahrek, Sorry to barge
into your day here, but you're on the radio right
now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
That's weird, you said. Sorry, your phone's a little hot
to hear, Derek.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, it seems is a little weird. I don't usually
get radio stations calling me in the morning.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't think most people do. So you're in the
general population with that one. That's fine, Derek.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I think we're calling you for a great reason though.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah, it's a second we do you called second date update.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I don't like that.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
He sound like one of our commentars from the podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, do you even know anything about it?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I mean, I figure it's you're calling me till somebody
wants to reach out.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, smart guy there. So yeah, you're right. There is
a girl that listens to our show who said she
went out with you recently, named Cassie.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Just so you know, she does know that you guys
have been texting a little bit. It just feels like
you're maybe not interested or something.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I mean, I'm I'm kind of interested, but at the
moment I'm not kind of interested.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Kind of but not kind of. Okay, you were pretty clear, So.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
No wonder she's so I don't know why she'd be computer.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Well, I hope you don't mind if we dive a
little bit deeper into that and ask you why.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I just need some more time.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Oh, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Are you in a relationship?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
No, I'm single. I'm single.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You're single.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Okay, I just made a big mistake.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Mistake. What no girlfriend?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
But you made a mistake.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But you like her, but you also don't like her yet.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
But a mistake with who? Because she really likes you.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Okay, I'll just tell you, but you can't tell her.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
We won't say we none of us here will say
anything to her. Yes, so I.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Don't know if she told you. But we bought each
other plants on our date.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, it seemed kind of like cute and movie ish.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Yeah, we even knew Gertrude and Leif Erickson.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Or the okay right right? Yeah we named them. Okay,
but when we were leaving them all I didn't realize.
I left Gertrude the roof of my car, so I
drove away. Yeah, I heard her bump. I didn't know
what it was. So I backed up and I ran.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Over your own plants.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
So dramatic, Baby, you killed Trude?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hello, yeah, dere she was supposed to wait. But that
that's Cassie to talk to you on the other line. Okay,
rest in peace, Gertrude.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Oh god, Kathy, I really didn't know you were on
the phone. I didn't know you heard any of that.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I cannot believe. I can't believe this.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
She got it?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Did you try and leave it? Bring her to life?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
What did you do with Gertrude afterwards?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
We're in her body.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I mean, my god, like plants just as much as
everybody else. But you guys directing like it's a human being.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
But listen, listen. Why would you not be calling her
back just because the plant fell off the car?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
So I went back the next day to see if
they had the same plant and they didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, you were going to pass off the new plant
as Gertrude and try and trick Cassie to thinking it
was the same one.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Just tell her the truth. Cassie would think it's a
cute story.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
She sounds pretty upset.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
I don't even know what to say. I mean, grude, man,
there's only one gutrue is the only one?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, Cassie, you're being like funny right now, right,
you're not being serious kind of, my guys.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
It's really troubling, though, is it?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Because he ran it back over again, come on, and
then disposed of the body.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
It's not like it says anything about who he is.
You're a good person.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
She meant something to you, just grows back.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Obviously did mean something to you, Cassie. That's why he
went back to the store the next day.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That's a good I'm a good guy. I don't murder
plants all the time. I buy them. I try and
keep them alive.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
He tries to keep I mean, Cassie, I've.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Never run over one before.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
This was the first, Jimmy.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Technically, if you ever driven on grass, you've ever driven
I mean, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Mean that he hasn't been driven over his own own
plant child. Your husband does work, okay, I mean, Cassie,
can you see what he's saying? Like only a good
guy would go through all of that effort to hide
the evidence of destroying your plant baby together and try
and cover it up with a different plant and then
ghost you until the new plant comes in.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Oh wait, so the new plant is coming.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So, yes, it took five days to get here. It's
coming tomorrow. That's what I've been waiting for.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Okay, so you were gonna one more day, you were
gonna just ask her out then?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, I was waiting for tomorrow making sure the plank
got here. So in case she came over and saw
that there was no plant, I wouldn't get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh, Caess, is a lot for you to process. What
are you thinking right now?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
I mean, I am, I'm honestly heartbroken. I'm surprised at
how heartbroken I am over true, but I can understand
the sentiment.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I think he is so cute and he's going to
all this effort just to make sure that you feel
good and feel happy.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Cassie, that should be a huge plus for you.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It's not like I goos to you. We've been texting
back and.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
True, he's been talking, just not committing well. So instead
of asking him first, I'm gonna ask Cassie, would you
like to see Derek again despite what you've heard here
on the show today.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Honestly I would. I think I'd give it another try
and you'll.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Have to come up with a new name for that
plant if Derek says yes to the second day, because
we will pay for it. Derek, it's up to you, Gertrude.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
This is your opportunity to I don't want any reminder
of Gertrude. We have to call her something out the plant.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Murderer's Daughter is a good place to start.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
That sounds like a novel, three.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Part series coming soon to Amazon. Get your orders in now.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
By the way, By the way, how's Lee Perrickson doing.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Oh he's thriving. He is thriving and surviving driving.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
He's growing up so fast.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
You guys, play and cars do not mix.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's the murder.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Mystery Leaf killed the insurance money for themself.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
No, I'm not going to read it Freaking Jeffrey in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's only been a couple months since that aired, but
already we're getting an update from it. Looks like just
Derek is on the phone right now. And before we
get into it, Derek, I just have to tell you
that was probably one of the more memorable calls that
we've had all years on the show.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
So cute, Jeffrey, You're too really adorable, Derek Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It was really good for us too. A lot of
our friends ended up hearing it.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Did you get lots of feedback?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, they really loved it. So we actually thought it'd
be a good idea as start bringing our plans with
us When we went out to the bar.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
You became the plant parent couple at the bar.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
People were coming up to us and asking about us,
and we'd tell him we were on the show and
they'd be they'd go crazy. They'd all got heard that
we were like celebrities for a minute.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Oh my celebrities.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
That sounds awesome. So wait, how come it's only you
on the phone today?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Well, okay, the problem was that got a little old
and we stopped taking them, and then it just seemed
like with other plants, it just wasn't the same.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Wait, so you guys broke up because you realized the
only connection you had was your plant babies.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah, it took a couple of weeks, but yeah, Oh
the chemistry wasn't there between me and Cassie anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Oh no, what happened with the plants? You have joint
custody or.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I mean I got mine and uh, I'm kind of
looking for a new plant step mom.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Oh oh okay, so there's a lot of listeners who
would love to step in and fill that role. Wow, okay, cut.
I'm sorry that the relationship didn't work out, but.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
It sounds like you had fun and you enjoyed the
experience got some.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Fame out of it as it was quite a few months.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh well, anyway, man, thanks for the update, and if
you want us to call your future plant stepmom, we're
happy to do it for you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):

phone this time.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Wait what, I don't think he wants to talk to
us again? Okay, Oh no, with.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Her, it's just with her every day.
Speaker 5 (17:21):

Over the years, we've seen couples who've bonded over both
being dog parents, or maybe they're both lizard lovers. Given
a few people who bonded because they are both owners
of human babies.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I love.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I'm pretty sure that's the casual way to say it,
But this might be the first time that we've ever
had two people connect over a different kind of living
creature to plant parents. Honestly, never expected this to turn
into one of the sweetest second date calls we did
all year. And what's better, we got an update on

Speaker 5 (02:22):
And talk about, like shop, you can drink, you can eat. Yeah,
So what was it like when you very first met Derek?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
So honestly, I felt like we hit it off, like

around just like looking at stuff, and we ended up
going to like a nursery, not like the baby like
the kind of plant plant nursery.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It was like, okay, sounds like a perfect day to me.

They don't have stores where they sell babies, Jose at the.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Mall, even a baby watching day. I know. We just
got a brilliant business idea to sponsored by Brook and
Jeffrey in the morning window.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
You better work on your return policy.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We've got the discount band over here. We have the
whole business mine ready, but sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Okay, I mean cute plant shops are so fun right now.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
He was a little bit more into it than me,
but I was really feeling it, yeah because traditionally, like
I haven't really been a plant person, but I had.
I had a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
So sweet. So he was knowledgeable. He obviously has plans.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Yeah, and he was like, you know what I think
we should do. I think we should pick out a
plant for each other.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Oh and it's kind of forward thinking, like it's like
he wants to see if you could keep it alive,
you know what I mean? Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
I think it's like when you have some like picking
up for you, because it's like, Okay, what do you
really think of me? Let's see what you pick out
based off what you think my personality is.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
That's why you make someone plant a tree that's more
of a commitment.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Than Yeah, okay, that's an interesting idea.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
I like it. What did you take out for him?
Speaker 6 (03:54):
So the one I picked was super cute. It was
like very whimsical. It was called a figetty fig nice.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Better than a venus fly trap or something, you.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Know, right, Okay, So that's like literally what I'm getting
to because what he picked for me was a freaking snake.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Plant snake flip snake but average they live a long time.
They're hard to kill. They are very hard to kill.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
They're sturdy, they're a good first plant for people who
don't have the first plant.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So he obviously doesn't trust that you're able to maintain it,
which is why he bought you a super easy plant.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I didn't really think about it that way. Honestly, I
was like, should I be offended as.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Though because of the snake title? Is that why?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (04:36):
I was just like surprised, you know what, I mean,
because like the one I picked for him was flirty,
cute or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So how did you tell him that you didn't like
the plant that he bought.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I kind of just made a joke of it because
it's like he's still buying me something, right, So I'm
not going to be a jerk about it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You could be a jerk. I'm just saying that's always
on the table to slap the plant down out of
his hands and be like try again.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well I don't think she'd be called us and asking
why he's pretty obvious.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Well, it was like so fun because we acted that
we went out for drinks because there was like a
bar inside the mall, but we brought our plants with
and the whole time I felt super comfortable and like
it even ended with a kiss. So okay, yeah, all.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Right, this all sounds good, Like, I mean, I could
totally understand why you're so confused why he's not calling back.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Yeah, me too, especially since we even named our plants.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Oh they're real plant baby after.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Each other, like what you name them?
Speaker 6 (05:32):
So his plant was Gertrude, yes, and my plant was
leif ericson the Explorer.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, all right, have you texted as leaf ericson.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I mean, that's the obvious, Like misses you ill, they considered.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
It now all I think it was the love for
from the rom com, you know, like you killed our.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Love for your plant is still alive, right?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Oh yeah. You know what's funny is I I did
find out I do have a bit of a green thumb.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
To keep alive.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
But yeah, I'm actually a little bit more concerned about
getting your guys's plants back together because I feel like
maybe they had the real love connection.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
You don't want a separated plant family.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We're gonna call plant daddy Derek and see why he
isn't arranging another date with you when we do your
second date update right after this second date update.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
You're in the middle of a second date update update,
and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing
right after you.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Here Part two, Cassy and Derek have been on one
date and already have two kids together.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Sweet wow, babies. They're babies, yea.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Plant children that they picked out for each other at
a nursery during their date. They even named their plants
Gertrude and leif Ericson.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It's solid solid day, they should Gertrude after.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Brought their plants to the restaurant together, put them in
high chairs with little bibs on, fed them. I mean,
you can assume, you can't assume that they're good parents
like that.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I'm pretty sure they ordered a rounded chicken tenders.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yes, nice and tiny, I mean, pretty normal first date
as far as we've heard.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
It's actually an adorable first date, and they bought plants together.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
The crazy thing is most of the plant enthusiasm was
actually led by Derek, which I didn't expect, so it
is weird that he is not initiating another meet up.
The thing is, we never asked, Cassie, how many days
has it been since that all happened.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
So I haven't seen in five days.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
That's four decades in plant years, so we can only
imagine how your children.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Pretty quick.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
So have you heard from him at all?
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Yeah? So there's been texting, but there's been no initiation
of a second day.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Okay, yeah, well let's call this dud beat dad and
figure out what.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
He's taking care of.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I mean, at least we hope. So I don't like
that he's not talking you, Cassie, So let's call him.
We'll see if he picks up.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Okay, Hello, Hey is this Derek. Yeahrek, Sorry to barge
into your day here, but you're on the radio right
now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
That's weird, you said. Sorry, your phone's a little hot
to hear, Derek.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, it seems is a little weird. I don't usually
get radio stations calling me in the morning.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't think most people do. So you're in the
general population with that one. That's fine, Derek.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I think we're calling you for a great reason though.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah, it's a second we do you called second date update.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I don't like that.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
He sound like one of our commentars from the podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, do you even know anything about it?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I mean, I figure it's you're calling me till somebody
wants to reach out.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, smart guy there. So yeah, you're right. There is
a girl that listens to our show who said she
went out with you recently, named Cassie.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Just so you know, she does know that you guys
have been texting a little bit. It just feels like
you're maybe not interested or something.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I mean, I'm I'm kind of interested, but at the
moment I'm not kind of interested.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Kind of but not kind of. Okay, you were pretty clear, So.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
No wonder she's so I don't know why she'd be computer.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Well, I hope you don't mind if we dive a
little bit deeper into that and ask you why.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I just need some more time.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Oh, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Are you in a relationship?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
No, I'm single. I'm single.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You're single.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Okay, I just made a big mistake.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Mistake. What no girlfriend?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
But you made a mistake.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But you like her, but you also don't like her yet.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
But a mistake with who? Because she really likes you.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Okay, I'll just tell you, but you can't tell her.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
We won't say we none of us here will say
anything to her. Yes, so I.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Don't know if she told you. But we bought each
other plants on our date.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, it seemed kind of like cute and movie ish.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Yeah, we even knew Gertrude and Leif Erickson.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Or the okay right right? Yeah we named them. Okay,
but when we were leaving them all I didn't realize.
I left Gertrude the roof of my car, so I
drove away. Yeah, I heard her bump. I didn't know
what it was. So I backed up and I ran.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Over your own plants.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
So dramatic, Baby, you killed Trude?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hello, yeah, dere she was supposed to wait. But that
that's Cassie to talk to you on the other line. Okay,
rest in peace, Gertrude.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Oh god, Kathy, I really didn't know you were on
the phone. I didn't know you heard any of that.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I cannot believe. I can't believe this.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
She got it?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Did you try and leave it? Bring her to life?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
What did you do with Gertrude afterwards?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
We're in her body.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I mean, my god, like plants just as much as
everybody else. But you guys directing like it's a human being.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
But listen, listen. Why would you not be calling her
back just because the plant fell off the car?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
So I went back the next day to see if
they had the same plant and they didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, you were going to pass off the new plant
as Gertrude and try and trick Cassie to thinking it
was the same one.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Just tell her the truth. Cassie would think it's a
cute story.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
She sounds pretty upset.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
I don't even know what to say. I mean, grude, man,
there's only one gutrue is the only one?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, Cassie, you're being like funny right now, right,
you're not being serious kind of, my guys.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
It's really troubling, though, is it?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Because he ran it back over again, come on, and
then disposed of the body.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
It's not like it says anything about who he is.
You're a good person.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
She meant something to you, just grows back.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Obviously did mean something to you, Cassie. That's why he
went back to the store the next day.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That's a good I'm a good guy. I don't murder
plants all the time. I buy them. I try and
keep them alive.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
He tries to keep I mean, Cassie, I've.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Never run over one before.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
This was the first, Jimmy.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Technically, if you ever driven on grass, you've ever driven
I mean, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Mean that he hasn't been driven over his own own
plant child. Your husband does work, okay, I mean, Cassie,
can you see what he's saying? Like only a good
guy would go through all of that effort to hide
the evidence of destroying your plant baby together and try
and cover it up with a different plant and then
ghost you until the new plant comes in.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Oh wait, so the new plant is coming.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So, yes, it took five days to get here. It's
coming tomorrow. That's what I've been waiting for.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Okay, so you were gonna one more day, you were
gonna just ask her out then?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, I was waiting for tomorrow making sure the plank
got here. So in case she came over and saw
that there was no plant, I wouldn't get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh, Caess, is a lot for you to process. What
are you thinking right now?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
I mean, I am, I'm honestly heartbroken. I'm surprised at
how heartbroken I am over true, but I can understand
the sentiment.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I think he is so cute and he's going to
all this effort just to make sure that you feel
good and feel happy.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Cassie, that should be a huge plus for you.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It's not like I goos to you. We've been texting
back and.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
True, he's been talking, just not committing well. So instead
of asking him first, I'm gonna ask Cassie, would you
like to see Derek again despite what you've heard here
on the show today.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Honestly I would. I think I'd give it another try
and you'll.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Have to come up with a new name for that
plant if Derek says yes to the second day, because
we will pay for it. Derek, it's up to you, Gertrude.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
This is your opportunity to I don't want any reminder
of Gertrude. We have to call her something out the plant.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Murderer's Daughter is a good place to start.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
That sounds like a novel, three.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Part series coming soon to Amazon. Get your orders in now.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
By the way, By the way, how's Lee Perrickson doing.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Oh he's thriving. He is thriving and surviving driving.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
He's growing up so fast.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
You guys, play and cars do not mix.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's the murder.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Mystery Leaf killed the insurance money for themself.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
No, I'm not going to read it Freaking Jeffrey in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's only been a couple months since that aired, but
already we're getting an update from it. Looks like just
Derek is on the phone right now. And before we
get into it, Derek, I just have to tell you
that was probably one of the more memorable calls that
we've had all years on the show.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
So cute, Jeffrey, You're too really adorable, Derek Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It was really good for us too. A lot of
our friends ended up hearing it.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Did you get lots of feedback?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, they really loved it. So we actually thought it'd
be a good idea as start bringing our plans with
us When we went out to the bar.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
You became the plant parent couple at the bar.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
People were coming up to us and asking about us,
and we'd tell him we were on the show and
they'd be they'd go crazy. They'd all got heard that
we were like celebrities for a minute.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Oh my celebrities.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
That sounds awesome. So wait, how come it's only you
on the phone today?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Well, okay, the problem was that got a little old
and we stopped taking them, and then it just seemed
like with other plants, it just wasn't the same.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Wait, so you guys broke up because you realized the
only connection you had was your plant babies.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah, it took a couple of weeks, but yeah, Oh
the chemistry wasn't there between me and Cassie anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Oh no, what happened with the plants? You have joint
custody or.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I mean I got mine and uh, I'm kind of
looking for a new plant step mom.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Oh oh okay, so there's a lot of listeners who
would love to step in and fill that role. Wow, okay, cut.
I'm sorry that the relationship didn't work out, but.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
It sounds like you had fun and you enjoyed the
experience got some.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Fame out of it as it was quite a few months.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh well, anyway, man, thanks for the update, and if
you want us to call your future plant stepmom, we're
happy to do it for you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Okay, yeah, I just don't want to be on the
phone this time.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Wait what, I don't think he wants to talk to
us again? Okay, Oh no, with.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
