Speaker 6: Yeah, his name is Derek. How'd you guys meet online?
Speaker 6: And their first day? We went to a super upstille
Speaker 6: mall here in this area. We've got like I would say,
Speaker 6: stancy mom. It's because like it's spread out.
Speaker 4: I don't have to tell us about upscale malls.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got there.
Speaker 3: Explain nowadays it's like being on Amazon, but I.
Speaker 2: Are, yeah, the stores.
Speaker 4: That's okay, And that sounds like a nice yeah, it
Speaker 4: could be fun, something something to do, things to look
Speaker 4: at and.
Speaker 2: Talk about, like shop, you can drink.
Speaker 6: It's like in public, so if it gets weird, you're
Speaker 6: not alone.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, safety sure.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So what was it like when you very first met Derek?
Speaker 6: So honestly, I felt like we hit it off, like
Speaker 6: right off, that there was chemistry there. We walked around
Speaker 6: just like looking at stuff, and we ended up going
Speaker 6: to like a nursery, not like the baby like the
Speaker 6: kind of plants plant nursery.
Speaker 3: It was like, Okay, sounds like a perfect date to me.
Speaker 2: But they don't. They don't have stores where they sell
Speaker 2: babies Jose.
Speaker 3: At the mall, even a baby watching day.
Speaker 4: I know, we just got a brilliant business idea to
Speaker 4: sponsored by Brook and Jeffrey in the morning window.
Speaker 2: You better work on your return policy.
Speaker 4: I'm going, you know, we got the discount band over
Speaker 4: here for too long. We have the whole business plan ready.
Speaker 1: But sorry, okay, I mean cute plant shops are so
Speaker 1: fun right now.
Speaker 6: I'm not like a super big plant person, but I
Speaker 6: really loved looking at all the stuff they had, Like
Speaker 6: I'm into it. He was a little bit more into
Speaker 6: it than me, but I was really feeling it. Yeah,
Speaker 6: because traditionally, like I haven't really been a plant person,
Speaker 6: but I had it. I had a lot of fun,
Speaker 6: so sweet.
Speaker 2: So he was knowledgeable. He obviously has plans.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he was like, you know what I think
Speaker 6: we should do. I think we should pick out a
Speaker 6: plant for each other.
Speaker 2: Oh that's cute, and it's kind.
Speaker 1: Of forward thinking, like it's like he wants to see
Speaker 1: if you could keep it alive, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think it's like when you have some like
Speaker 6: picking up for you because it's like, Okay, what do
Speaker 6: you really think of me? Let's see what you pick
Speaker 6: out based off what you think my personality is.
Speaker 3: That's why you make someone plant a tree that's more
Speaker 3: of a commitment.
Speaker 4: Than y Yeah, okay, that's an interesting idea.
Speaker 2: I like it. What did you picked out for him?
Speaker 6: So the one I picked was super cute. It was
Speaker 6: like very whimsical. It was called a figety fig.
Speaker 2: Better than a venus fly trap or something, you know.
Speaker 6: Right, Okay, So that's like literally what I'm getting to
Speaker 6: because what he picked for me was a freaking snake.
Speaker 2: Plant snake flip snake. But average they live a long
Speaker 2: time though hard to kill. They are very hard to kill.
Speaker 2: They're sturdy, they're a good first plant for people. You
Speaker 2: don't have the first plant.
Speaker 4: So he obviously doesn't trust that you're able to maintain it,
Speaker 4: which is why he bought you a super easy plant.
Speaker 6: I didn't really think about it that way, honestly. I
Speaker 6: was like, should I be Offendedis.
Speaker 2: Because of the snake title? Is that why?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 6: I was just like surprised, you know what I mean,
Speaker 6: because like the one I picked for him was flirty,
Speaker 6: cute or whatever.
Speaker 4: So how did you tell him that you didn't like
Speaker 4: the plant that he bought.
Speaker 6: I kind of just made a joke of it, because
Speaker 6: it's like he's still buying me something, right, So I'm
Speaker 6: not going to be a jerk.
Speaker 4: You could be a jerk just saying that's always on
Speaker 4: the table to slap the plant down out of his
Speaker 4: hands and be like try again.
Speaker 1: Well, then I don't think she'd be calling us and
Speaker 1: asking why he's.
Speaker 2: Obvious?
Speaker 6: Well, it was like so fun because we after that
Speaker 6: we went out for drinks because there was like a
Speaker 6: bar inside them all, but we brought our plants with
Speaker 6: and it was like super cute and like everybody was
Speaker 6: like coming by and looking at them and saying, like,
Speaker 6: what's the story on this? It was funny and the
Speaker 6: whole time I felt super comfortable and like it even
Speaker 6: ended with a kiss.
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, all right, this all sounds good, Like
Speaker 1: I mean, I could totally understand why you're so confused
Speaker 1: why he's not calling back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, me too, especially since we even named our plants.
Speaker 1: Oh they're real plant baby after each other, like what
Speaker 1: you name them?
Speaker 6: So his plant was Gertrude, yes, okay, and my plan
Speaker 6: was leaf Ericson like the Explorer.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, have you texted as leif Ericson?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the obvious, like misses you.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 4: Anybody worried here that maybe the plant joke went on
Speaker 4: a little bit too long?
Speaker 2: All I think it was the love forern from the
Speaker 2: rom com. You know, you killed our love for your
Speaker 2: plant is still alive? Right?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah. You know what's funny is I did find out
Speaker 6: I do have a bit of a green thumbhil to
Speaker 6: keep alive.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm actually a little bit more concerned about
Speaker 4: getting your guys's plants back together because I feel like
Speaker 4: maybe they had the real love connection.
Speaker 2: You don't want a separated plant family.
Speaker 4: Well, but also you don't want like plant parents hooking
Speaker 4: up with the plant kids.
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think they're the same family. Now you're
Speaker 2: making it weird.
Speaker 3: I'm making it weird.
Speaker 4: Okay, I took it too far.
Speaker 6: You know what.
Speaker 4: Fine, We're gonna call plant daddy Derek and see why
Speaker 4: he isn't arranging another date with you when we do
Speaker 4: your second date update. Right after this second date update,
Speaker 4: Cassie and Derek have been on one date and already
Speaker 4: have two kids together.
Speaker 2: Babies babies.
Speaker 4: Plant children that they picked out for each other at
Speaker 4: a nursery during their date. They even named their plants
Speaker 4: Gertrude and Leif.
Speaker 7: Ericsson Solid Solid Day, brought their plants to the restaurant together,
Speaker 7: put them in high chairs with little bibs on, fed them.
Speaker 4: I mean, you can assume, you can assume that they're
Speaker 4: good parents like that.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure the rounded chicken tenders.
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, pretty normal first date as far as
Speaker 4: we've heard.
Speaker 2: It's actually an adorable first date, and they.
Speaker 3: Bought plants together.
Speaker 4: The crazy thing is most of the plant enthusiasm was
Speaker 4: actually led by Derek which I didn't expect. So it
Speaker 4: is weird that he is not initiating another meet up.
Speaker 4: The thing is, we never asked, Cassie, how many days
Speaker 4: has it been since that all happened.
Speaker 6: So I haven't seen him in five days.
Speaker 4: That's four decades in plant years. So we can only
Speaker 4: imagine how your children.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but.
Speaker 4: Pretty quick.
Speaker 2: So have you heard from him at all?
Speaker 6: Yeah? So there's been texting, but there's been no initiation
Speaker 6: of a second day.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, so you're in communication, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: It just feels like it fell off a little bit.
Speaker 6: Yeah all right, I don't think you're help in figuring
Speaker 6: this out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let's call this deadbeat plant dad and figure
Speaker 4: out what.
Speaker 2: He's taking care of? Gtrude, Okay, I mean.
Speaker 4: At least we hope. So I don't like that he's
Speaker 4: not talking to you, Cassie, So let's call him. We'll
Speaker 4: see if he picks up.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, I thank you.
Speaker 3: If he does an answer, can we do textual healing
Speaker 3: at least?
Speaker 4: Because I really want to do good idea?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 4: All plant therapy maybe too, So here we go. I'm
Speaker 4: going right now. Hello, Hey, is this Derek?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek.
Speaker 4: Sorry to barge into your day here, but you're on
Speaker 4: the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: Good morning.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's weird. You said. Sorry, your phone's a
Speaker 2: little hot to hear, Derek.
Speaker 5: Yeah, seems is a little weird. I don't usually get
Speaker 5: radio stations calling me in the morning.
Speaker 4: I don't think most people do. So you're in the
Speaker 4: general population with that one. That's fine, Derek.
Speaker 2: I think we're calling you for a great reason though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a second we do you call it second
Speaker 4: date update.
Speaker 1: I don't like that you sound like one of our
Speaker 1: commentors from the podcast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, do you even know anything about it?
Speaker 5: I mean, I figure it's you're calling me till somebody
Speaker 5: wants to reach out.
Speaker 4: Okay, smart Derek. So, yeah, you're right. There is a
Speaker 4: girl that listens to our show who said she went
Speaker 4: out with you recently, named Cassie.
Speaker 1: And it sounded like an adorable date. So just so
Speaker 1: you know, she does know that you guys have been
Speaker 1: texting a little bit. It just feels like you're maybe
Speaker 1: not interested or something.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm I'm kind of interested, but at the
Speaker 5: moment I'm not kind of interested, kind.
Speaker 4: Of but not kind of? Okay, you were pretty clear, So.
Speaker 2: No, wonder she's so I don't know why she should
Speaker 2: be complete.
Speaker 4: Well, I hope you don't mind if we dive a
Speaker 4: little bit deeper into that and ask you why.
Speaker 5: I just need some more time.
Speaker 3: Oh, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Are you in a relationship?
Speaker 5: No, I'm single.
Speaker 2: I'm sing you're single? Okay? And you and you liked
Speaker 2: Cassie right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I like her. I just made a
Speaker 5: big mistake mistake.
Speaker 3: What no, girlfriend, but you made a mistake. But you
Speaker 3: like her, but you also don't like her yet?
Speaker 2: But a mistake with who? Because she really likes you?
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll just tell you, but you can't tell her.
Speaker 4: You We won't say we none of us here will
Speaker 4: say anything to her.
Speaker 5: Yes, deal, So I don't know if she told you.
Speaker 5: But we bought each other plants on our date.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seemed kind of like cute and movie ish.
Speaker 2: Yeah we even knew Gertrude and Leif Erickson or.
Speaker 5: Okay right right?
Speaker 4: Yeah we named him Okay.
Speaker 5: But when we weren't eating them all, I didn't realize
Speaker 5: I left Gertrude the roof of my car. So I
Speaker 5: drove away. Yeah, I heard a bump. I didn't know
Speaker 5: what it was, so I backed up and I ran over.
Speaker 7: Your own plants, baby killed Trude?
Speaker 4: Hello, yeah, Derek, she was supposed to wait. But that
Speaker 4: that's Cassie. I wanted to talk to you on the
Speaker 4: other line. Okay, Gertrude, Oh god, oh my god.
Speaker 6: Didn't you try it to seame her?
Speaker 5: So wait, Cassie, I really didn't know you were on
Speaker 5: the phone. I didn't know you heard any of that.
Speaker 6: I cannot believe because I can't believe this. She's dead.
Speaker 6: Did you try at least bring her back to life?
Speaker 4: What did you do with Gertrude afterwards?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Where in her body?
Speaker 5: I mean, my god, like plants just as much as
Speaker 5: everybody else, but you guys directly like it's a human being.
Speaker 1: But listen, listen, why would you not be calling her
Speaker 1: back just because the plant fell off the car.
Speaker 5: I was gonna go ahead and get a new plant to.
Speaker 4: Try and take it the second day.
Speaker 6: You were going to try and replace her, you mean
Speaker 6: with the.
Speaker 4: Same exact plan.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I went back the next day to see
Speaker 5: if they had the same plant, and they didn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were going to pass off the new plane
Speaker 4: as Gertrude and try and trick Cassie to thinking it
Speaker 4: was the same one.
Speaker 2: Just tell her the truth. Cassie would think it's a
Speaker 2: cute story.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: She sounds pretty upset.
Speaker 6: I don't even know what to say. I mean, Gertrude. Man,
Speaker 6: there's only one Girtrude, I.
Speaker 3: Know, the only one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Cassie, you're.
Speaker 2: Being like funny right now, right, you're not being serious.
Speaker 7: Kind of my guys.
Speaker 6: It's really troubling though.
Speaker 4: Well, because he ran it back over agains come up
Speaker 4: and then disposed of the body.
Speaker 2: It's not like it says anything about who he is.
Speaker 2: You're a good person.
Speaker 6: She meant something to you, just grows back.
Speaker 2: Obviously did mean something to you, Cassie. That's why he
Speaker 2: went back to the store the next day.
Speaker 5: That's a good I'm a good guy. I don't murder
Speaker 5: plants all the time. I buy them. I try and
Speaker 5: keep them alive.
Speaker 2: He tries to keep.
Speaker 5: I mean, Cassie, I never run over one before.
Speaker 1: This was the first, Jemmy, technically, you've ever driven on grass,
Speaker 1: you've ever driven I.
Speaker 4: Mean, yeah, we mean that he hasn't been driven over
Speaker 4: his own plant child, like your husband does work? Okay,
Speaker 4: I mean, Cassie, can you see what he's saying? Like
Speaker 4: only a good guy would go through all of that
Speaker 4: effort to hide the evidence of destroying your plant, baiting together,
Speaker 4: and try and cover it up with a different plant.
Speaker 3: And then ghost you until the new plant comes in.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, so the new plant is coming.
Speaker 5: So yes, it took five days to get here. It's
Speaker 5: coming tomorrow. That's what I've been waiting for.
Speaker 3: Okay, So you were.
Speaker 2: Gonna one more day, you were going to just ask
Speaker 2: her out?
Speaker 7: Then?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was waiting for tomorrow making sure the plane
Speaker 5: got here. So in case she came over and saw
Speaker 5: that there was no plant, I wouldn't get in trouble.
Speaker 4: Caess is a lot for you to process. What are
Speaker 4: you thinking right now?
Speaker 6: I mean, I am, I'm honestly heartbroken. I'm surprised at
Speaker 6: how heartbroken I am over true, but I can understand
Speaker 6: the sentiment. Okay.
Speaker 4: Well, the good news is it's sounds like if you
Speaker 4: guys ever got married, he definitely wouldn't be the type
Speaker 4: of person try and hide money from you or like
Speaker 4: keep secrets until like they came up years later Yeah, that.
Speaker 2: Was a weird jump there.
Speaker 3: You want to ask.
Speaker 1: I think he is so cute and he's going to
Speaker 1: all this effort just to make sure that you feel
Speaker 1: good and feel happy, Cassie, that should be a huge
Speaker 1: plus for you.
Speaker 5: It's not like we've been texting back and forth.
Speaker 3: True, he's been talking, just not committing well.
Speaker 4: So instead of asking him first, I'm gonna ask Cassie,
Speaker 4: would you like to see Derek again despite what you've
Speaker 4: heard here on the show today?
Speaker 6: Honestly I would. I think I'd give it another try.
Speaker 4: Wow, you have to come with a new name for
Speaker 4: that plant if Derek says yes to the second day,
Speaker 4: because we will pay for it. Derek, It's up to you,
Speaker 4: the dame.
Speaker 6: This is your opportunity to get any reminder of Gertrude.
Speaker 6: We have to call her something out.
Speaker 4: Okay, the plant Murderer's Daughter is a good place to start.
Speaker 2: That sounds like a novel.
Speaker 4: Read Yeah, three part series coming soon to Amazon and
Speaker 4: get your orders in now.
Speaker 5: By the way, By the way, how's Lee Ferrison doing.
Speaker 6: Oh he's thriving. He is thriving and surviving.
Speaker 3: Driving is growing up so fast, you guys, Plants and
Speaker 3: cars do not mix.
Speaker 4: That's the murder mystery. Leaf killed Gertrude the insurance money
Speaker 4: for himself.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to read it.
Speaker 4: Looking Jeffrey in the morning, I think we were all
Speaker 4: kind of leaning heavy into the drama of what happened
Speaker 4: there when Derek's.
Speaker 2: Playing Yeah, let's crack that statement real quick. Well way
Speaker 2: you mean you and jose Yeah, you were doing lots
Speaker 2: of like.
Speaker 4: WHOA, I know we're being dramatic. The good news is
Speaker 4: that Clearer did prevail in the end, and Cassie was
Speaker 4: I don't want to say like able to get over Gertrude,
Speaker 4: because we never will. She's always going to be in
Speaker 4: our hearts and in our compost bins. But to Gertrude,
Speaker 4: we just want to say you were a bright light
Speaker 4: in this world and in all of our lives and
Speaker 4: in the lives of all of our listeners. Taken from
Speaker 4: us far too soon.
Speaker 2: Can you just start this with maybe we were a
Speaker 2: little over dramatic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but now I'm getting back into it now, just
Speaker 4: because I know, Gertrude, you are smiling down at us
Speaker 4: from Plant Heaven right now, watching over all of us
Speaker 4: and blessing our show with your good green vibes.
Speaker 3: I'm still confident if we bury a plant and it
Speaker 3: gets sunlight and water, it will just regrow again.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Brooke is forgetting her name for sure
Speaker 2: in one hour.
Speaker 4: We'll never forget, Gertrude, never forget.
