Speaker 1: It's a special type of Thursday. Hey, it's Burg and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning on your Second Date Update podcast,
Speaker 1: and we've got an update update, which is always so
Speaker 1: fun because it's when one of our couples contacts us
Speaker 1: with something that's happened since they've been on the show,
Speaker 1: which we love.
Speaker 2: I know, we do love it.
Speaker 1: So the way these work is we do play the
Speaker 1: original call so that we're all on the same page
Speaker 1: when we talk to the couple, and so you will
Speaker 1: have to sit through like two commercials okay to get
Speaker 1: to the update update. I know that that can be
Speaker 1: very upsetting. I understand, don't you know it'll be worth it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll just skip them. But before we start anything, we
Speaker 1: love to highlight some of our comments here. What do
Speaker 1: you got, Alexis?
Speaker 3: Yes, I saw one from Rafaela from Munich who said,
Speaker 3: I binge listen. I binge listened to this entire playlist
Speaker 3: in four months while working, commuting, doing dishes, laundry and more.
Speaker 3: You make boring tasks feel way more entertaining.
Speaker 1: I think it's so cool. People listen all over the world.
Speaker 4: Ye, I think my stream is split in half, right, No,
Speaker 4: European people and Americans.
Speaker 1: It is crazy, all these people speaking multiple languages and
Speaker 1: US idiots over here, all you know, though, which are
Speaker 1: straight to your heart.
Speaker 2: Alright, let's get started.
Speaker 1: Here's your update update.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Over the years, we've seen couples who've bonded over both
Speaker 4: being dog parents, or maybe they're both lizard lovers. Given
Speaker 4: a few people who bonded because they are both owners
Speaker 4: of human babies.
Speaker 1: I love those babies.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's the casual way to say.
Speaker 1: All. I kind of like it.
Speaker 4: But this might be the first time that we've ever
Speaker 4: had two people connect over a different kind of living
Speaker 4: creature to plant parents. Honestly, never expected this to turn
Speaker 4: into one of the sweetest second date calls we did
Speaker 4: all year, and what's better, we got an update on
Speaker 4: their unique situation. It's coming up in your second date
Speaker 4: up date update right after this second date updated. We
Speaker 4: are in the month of Love right now, and because
Speaker 4: of that, today we're gonna do this entire second date

Speaker 4: a welcome.
Speaker 1: I'll second Date up date a known as English update
Speaker 1: second Date. I do know how a French accent could
Speaker 1: be unsexy you made it happen.
Speaker 4: We're trying not to scare all of the women off
Speaker 4: from listening to the show, just a couple of the
Speaker 4: unwanted ones. Sorry, you know what, maybe we just stick
Speaker 4: to American style English for this when we talk to
Speaker 4: our listener Cassie today, Cassie, I'm sorry, Are you okay
Speaker 4: if we do this in English?
Speaker 5: I love the French? But you know what, it's okay.
Speaker 1: You're gonna already she's starting out of the gate line.
Speaker 4: Just for the record, if you have any other language
Speaker 4: requests or like, do you want me to do, just
Speaker 4: holler at me seriously, start keep talking like that. You're
Speaker 4: not going to be single for long. So tell us
Speaker 4: about this guy that you went out with recently.
Speaker 2: What's his name?
Speaker 5: Yeah, his name is Derek. How'd you guys meet online?
Speaker 5: And their first day? We went to a super upscale
Speaker 5: mall here in this area. We've got like a I
Speaker 5: would say stancy mall is because like it's spread out.
Speaker 2: I don't have to tell us about upscale malls. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we got there. Explain nowadays it's like being on Amazon.
Speaker 1: But I are Yeah, the stores.
Speaker 2: That's okay, And that sounds like it could be nice one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it could be fun, something something to do, things
Speaker 4: to look at and.
Speaker 1: Talk about, like shop, you can drink, you can eat. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So what was it like when you very first met Derek?
Speaker 5: So honestly, I felt like we hit it off, like
Speaker 5: right off the bat. There was comistry there. We walked
Speaker 5: around just like looking at stuff, and we ended up
Speaker 5: going to like a nursery, not like the baby the
Speaker 5: kind of plant plant nursery.
Speaker 2: It was like, Okay, sounds like a perfect date to me.
Speaker 5: But they don't.
Speaker 1: They don't have stores where they sell babies Jose at the.
Speaker 2: Mall, even a baby watching day.
Speaker 4: I know, we just got a brilliant business ideas long
Speaker 4: sponsored by Brook and Jeffrey in the morning window.
Speaker 1: You better work on your return policy.
Speaker 6: I'm going.
Speaker 4: You know, we've got the discount ban over here in
Speaker 4: store for too long.
Speaker 2: We have the whole businessman ready but sorry.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean cute plant shops are so fun right now.
Speaker 5: He was a little bit more into it than me,
Speaker 5: but I was really feeling it. Yeah, because traditionally, like
Speaker 5: I haven't really been a plant person, but I had it.
Speaker 5: I had a lot of fun.
Speaker 7: So sweet.
Speaker 1: So he was knowledgeable he obviously has plans.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he was like, you know what I think
Speaker 5: we should do. I think we should pick out a
Speaker 5: plant for each other.
Speaker 1: Oh and it's kind of forward thinking, like it's like
Speaker 1: he wants to see if you could keep it alive,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think it's like when you have some like picking
Speaker 5: up it for you, because it's like, Okay, what do
Speaker 5: you really think of me? Let's see what you pick
Speaker 5: out based off what you think my personality is that.
Speaker 2: Someone plant a tree that's more of a commitment than y. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: that's an interesting idea.
Speaker 1: I like it. What did you pick out for him?
Speaker 5: So the one I picked was super cute. It was
Speaker 5: like very whimsical. It was called a figetty fig.
Speaker 1: Better than a venus fly trap or something, you know.
Speaker 5: Right, Okay, So that's like literally what I'm getting to,
Speaker 5: because what he picked for me was a freaking snake plant.
Speaker 3: Snake flip snake, but average little, long time though hard
Speaker 3: to kill.
Speaker 1: They are very hard to kill. They're sturdy. They're a
Speaker 1: good first plant for people who don't have the first plant.
Speaker 4: Okay, So he obviously doesn't trust that you're able to
Speaker 4: maintain it, which is why he bought you a super
Speaker 4: easy plant.
Speaker 5: I didn't really think about it that way, honestly, I
Speaker 5: was like, should I be offended.
Speaker 1: Because of the snake title? Is that why?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 5: I was just like surprised, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: because like the one I picked for him was slurty cute.
Speaker 2: Or so, how did you tell him that you didn't
Speaker 2: like the plant that he bought.
Speaker 5: I kind of just made a joke of it because
Speaker 5: it's like he's still buying me something, right, So I'm
Speaker 5: not going to be a jerk about it.
Speaker 2: You could be a jerk.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that's always on the table to slap
Speaker 4: the plant down out of his hands and be like
Speaker 4: try again.
Speaker 1: Well I don't think she'd be calling us and asking
Speaker 1: why he's obvious.
Speaker 5: Well, it was like so fun because we acted that
Speaker 5: we went out for drinks because there was like a
Speaker 5: bar inside the mall, but we brought our plants with
Speaker 5: and the whole time I felt super comfortable and like
Speaker 5: it even ended with a kiss. So yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: This all sounds good, Like I mean, I could totally
Speaker 1: understand why you're so confused why he's not calling back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, me too, especially since we even named our plants.
Speaker 1: Oh they're real plant baby after each.
Speaker 2: Other, Like would you name so?
Speaker 5: His plant was Gertrude, Yes, okay, and my plane was
Speaker 5: leap Eric said leave Erickson.
Speaker 2: Like the explorer, Yeah, okay, all right?
Speaker 1: Have you texted as Leif ericson? I mean, that's the obvious,
Speaker 1: like Leif misses you.
Speaker 3: They considered it now all I think it was the
Speaker 3: love forern from the rom com. You know, it's like
Speaker 3: you killed.
Speaker 1: Our love for your plant is still alive, right?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what's funny is I I did find
Speaker 5: out I do have a bit of a green thumb.
Speaker 1: Oh the plan to 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 1: You don't want a separated plant family.
Speaker 4: We're gonna call plant daddy Derek and see why he
Speaker 4: isn't arranging another date with you when we do your
Speaker 4: second date update.
Speaker 2: Right after this second date update, you're in the middle.
Speaker 1: Of a second date update update, and we're gonna find
Speaker 1: out how the couple is doing right after you. Here
Speaker 1: Part two, Cassy.
Speaker 4: And Derek have been on one date and already have
Speaker 4: two kids together.
Speaker 1: 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 Ericsson.
Speaker 1: It's solid, solid day.
Speaker 4: Brought their plants to the restaurant together, put them in
Speaker 4: high chairs with little.
Speaker 2: Bibs on, they fed them. I mean, you can assume,
Speaker 2: you can assume that they're good parents like that, and.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they ordered round the chicken tenders.
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, pretty normal first date as far as
Speaker 4: we've heard.
Speaker 1: It's actually an adorable first date, and they 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.
Speaker 2: That all happened.
Speaker 5: So I haven't seen five days.
Speaker 4: That's four decades in plant years, so we can only
Speaker 4: imagine how your children.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but.
Speaker 2: Pretty quick.
Speaker 1: So have you heard from him at all?
Speaker 5: Yeah? So there's been texting, but there's been no initiation
Speaker 5: of a second day.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, well, let's call this deadbeat plant dad and figure.
Speaker 2: Out what.
Speaker 1: He's taking care of. Gtrude, Okay, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, at least we hope. So.
Speaker 4: I don't like that he's not talking you, Cassie, so
Speaker 4: let's call him. We'll see if he picks up.
Speaker 7: Okay, Hello, Hey is this Derek?
Speaker 5: 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 7: Good morning.
Speaker 1: That's weird, you said, Sorry, your phone's a little hard
Speaker 1: to hear, Derek.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was just a little weird. I don't usually
Speaker 8: get radio stations calling me in the morning.
Speaker 2: I don't think most people do.
Speaker 4: So you're in the general population with that one.
Speaker 2: That's fine, Derek.
Speaker 1: I think we're calling you for a great reason though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a second we do you call it second
Speaker 2: date update.
Speaker 1: I don't like that you sound like one of our
Speaker 1: commentors from the podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you even know anything about it?
Speaker 8: I mean, I figure as you're calling me till somebody
Speaker 8: wants to reach out.
Speaker 2: Okay, smart guy there. So yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4: There is a girl that listens to our show who
Speaker 4: said she went out with you recently.
Speaker 2: Named Cassie.
Speaker 1: Just so you know, she does know that you guys
Speaker 1: have been texting a little bit. It just feels like
Speaker 1: you're maybe not interested or something.
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm I'm kind of interested, but at the moment,
Speaker 8: I'm not kind of.
Speaker 2: Interested, kind of but not kind of.
Speaker 4: Okay, you were pretty clear, So.
Speaker 1: No, wonder she's so I don't know why she'd be.
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 8: I just need some more time.
Speaker 7: What's going on?
Speaker 1: Are you in a relationship?
Speaker 8: No, I'm single, I'm single, you're single. Okay, I just
Speaker 8: made a big mistake.
Speaker 2: Mistake what no girlfriend? But you made a mistake. But
Speaker 2: you like her, but you also don't like her yet?
Speaker 1: But a mistake with who? Because she really likes you?
Speaker 8: Okay, I'll just tell you, but you can't tell her.
Speaker 2: We won't say we none of us here will say
Speaker 2: anything to her.
Speaker 6: Yes, so I don't know if she told you. But
Speaker 6: we bought each other plants on our date.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seemed kind of like cute and movie ish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we even knew Gertrude and Leif Erickson.
Speaker 2: Okay, right right, Yeah, we named them.
Speaker 8: Okay, but when we weren'taving them all, I didn't realize.
Speaker 8: I left Gertrude the roof of my car, so I
Speaker 8: drove away. Yeah, I heard her bump. I didn't know
Speaker 8: what it was, so I backed up and I ran over.
Speaker 2: Your own plants.
Speaker 7: So dramatic, baby, you killed Trude?
Speaker 2: Hello, yeah, dere she was supposed to wait. But that
Speaker 2: that's Cassie. I wanted to talk to you on the
Speaker 2: other line. Okay, rest in peace, Gertrude.
Speaker 8: Oh God, Cassy, I really didn't know you were on
Speaker 8: the phone. I didn't know you heard any of that.
Speaker 5: I cannot believe because I can't believe this.
Speaker 1: She's got it.
Speaker 5: Did you try and least bring her back to life?
Speaker 2: What did you do with Gertrude afterwards? Yeah, we're in
Speaker 2: her body.
Speaker 5: I mean, my.
Speaker 6: God, plants just as much as everybody else.
Speaker 8: 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: Yeah?
Speaker 8: So I went back the next day to see if
Speaker 8: they had the same plant, and they didn't.
Speaker 2: Even went back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to pass off the new planet as
Speaker 4: Gertrude and try and trick Cassie to thinking it was
Speaker 4: the same one.
Speaker 1: Just tell her the truth. Cassie would think it's a
Speaker 1: cute story.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: She sounds pretty upset.
Speaker 5: I don't even know what to say. I mean, Gertrude. Man,
Speaker 5: there's only one Girtrude, I know, the only one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean Cassie.
Speaker 1: You're being like funny right now, right, you're not being
Speaker 1: serious kind of my guys.
Speaker 5: It's really troubling, though, is it?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 4: Because he ran it back over a guys, Oh, come
Speaker 4: up and then disposed of the body.
Speaker 1: It's not like it says anything about who he is.
Speaker 1: You're a good person.
Speaker 5: I thought she meant something to you.
Speaker 2: Grows back.
Speaker 1: Obviously did mean something to you, Cassie. That's why he
Speaker 1: went back to the store the next day.
Speaker 2: That's a good boy.
Speaker 8: I'm a good guy. Murder plants all the time. I
Speaker 8: buy them. I try and keep them alive.
Speaker 1: He tries to keep.
Speaker 8: I mean, Cassie, I've never run over one before.
Speaker 2: This was the first.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Tech. If you ever driven on grass, you've ever
Speaker 1: driven I mean yeah, we.
Speaker 2: Mean that he hasn't been driven over his own plant
Speaker 2: child like your husband does work? Okay, I mean, Cassie,
Speaker 2: can you see what he's saying? Like only a.
Speaker 4: Good guy would go through all of that effort to
Speaker 4: hide the evidence of destroying your plant baby together and
Speaker 4: try and cover it up with a different plant and
Speaker 4: then ghost you until the new plant comes in.
Speaker 1: H Wait, so the new plant is coming.
Speaker 8: So yes, it took five days to get here. It's
Speaker 8: coming tomorrow. That's what I've been waiting for.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you were gonna one more day, you were
Speaker 1: going to just ask her out?
Speaker 6: Then? Yeah, I was waiting for tomorrow making sure the
Speaker 6: plane got here. So in case she came over and
Speaker 6: saw that there was no plant, I wouldn't get in trouble.
Speaker 4: Cass is a lot for you to process. What do
Speaker 4: you think right now?
Speaker 5: I mean, I am, I'm honestly heartbroken. I'm surprised at
Speaker 5: how heartbroken I am over true, but I can understand
Speaker 5: the sentiment.
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 8: It's not like I got you. We've been texting back
Speaker 8: and forth.
Speaker 2: 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 5: Honestly I would. I think I'd give it another try.
Speaker 1: Wow, And you'll have to.
Speaker 4: Come up with a new name for that plant if
Speaker 4: Derek says yes to the second date, because we will
Speaker 4: pay for it.
Speaker 2: Derek, it's up to you the.
Speaker 8: Date Gertrude too.
Speaker 5: This is your opportunity to get any reminder of Gertrude.
Speaker 5: We have to call her something out o the plant.
Speaker 2: Murderer's Daughter is a good place used to start.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a novel I read Yeah, three.
Speaker 2: Part series coming soon to Amazon. Get your orders in now.
Speaker 6: By the way.

Speaker 4: already we're getting an update from it looks like just
Speaker 4: Derek is on the phone right now.
Speaker 2: And before we get into it, Derek.
Speaker 4: I just have to tell you that was probably one
Speaker 4: of the more memorable calls that we've had all years
Speaker 4: on the show.
Speaker 1: So cute, Jeffy, you were adorable, Derek.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was really good for us too. A lot
Speaker 6: of our friends ended up hearing it.
Speaker 1: Oh did you get lots of feedback?
Speaker 6: Yeah, they really loved it. So we actually thought it'd
Speaker 6: be a good idea and start bringing our plants with
Speaker 6: us when we went out to the bar.
Speaker 1: You became the plant parent couple at the bar.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 6: People were coming off to us and asking about us,
Speaker 6: and we'd tell them we were on the show and
Speaker 6: they'd be they'd go crazy, they'd got I heard that
Speaker 6: we were. We were like celebrities for a minute.
Speaker 1: Oh my celebrities.
Speaker 4: That sounds awesome. So wait, how come it's only you
Speaker 4: on the phone today?
Speaker 6: Well, okay, the problem was that got a little old
Speaker 6: and we stopped taking them, and then it just seemed
Speaker 6: like with out the plants, it just wasn't the same.
Speaker 1: Wait, so you guys broke up because you realized the
Speaker 1: only connection you had was your plant babies.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it took a couple of weeks, but yeah, oh
Speaker 6: the chemistry wasn't there between me and Cassie anymore.
Speaker 1: Oh no, what happened with the plants? You have joined
Speaker 1: custody or.
