- All right, hello everyone.
Today, we are filming a double date
"Get Ready with Me" video.
Dakota and I are going on a double date with Bailey and Asa.
PSA to a couple of things in this video.
Number one, this is not a hickey, it's a rash okay.
Everyone was wondering, it's like all over me.
Number two, Dakota did just get stitches on his thumb.
He's gonna be using big white finger
to get ready this morning.
- This might be the first time I've gotten ready
with the thumb so it seems kinda hard.
- We'll see how it goes.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, first things first.
I'm in my pajamas.
We obviously have to get semi-decent.
My hair is literally a nightmare.
My face is not done, obviously.
So we're gonna get ready.
This was courtesy of Bailey and Asa,
they dropped off Starbucks this morning,
so shout out to them.
Also, everyone do not make fun.
- They're hating on our.
- On our blinds.
Moving does not always mean you have everything
all at the same time,
and we don't have blinds right now,
so we have a fitted sheet.
- I got a question. - [Brooklyn] Mm-hmm.
- You gonna do my hair today?
- [Brooklyn] Oh, I can.
- 'Cause I don't think I can do it.
- [Brooklyn] Okay, I can do it.
(upbeat music)
- All right, so getting ready for our date.
Typically, the first thing that I do is get my clothes on.
Then I'll fix my hair,
that way it doesn't mess with the hair,
you know what I'm saying?
I'm gonna change real quick.
Here we go. (fingers snap)
Boom, just like that.
Just gonna wear a sweater today
'cause it's really cold outside.
Gonna wear a sweater.
Let's fix my hair.
Of course I'm using Hairitage Stronger Hold Hairspray.
I love this stuff. (chuckling)
Yeah, just gonna tell you guys the story
of when Bailey and I first met,
because today is our seven year anniversary of when we met.
We met back in 2016, on January 30th.
I was a single 15 year old boy,
and hanging out at my grandparents' house with my cousins.
If you're not sure, if you've never heard of this,
my cousins are the "Duck Dynasty" family.
They were on reality TV for a couple of years,
and I was always just around,
like all of my family lives in a very close neighborhood.
So, I was around hanging out with my cousins,
and that day we were just laying on the couch,
and my grandma came in the room and said,
"Hey, wanna go get some lunch? Wanna go get pizza?"
"We're meeting some really cute YouTube girls there."
I mean I'm like "Oh, hmm, yes, yes, please".
- This is actually the craziest part
of my whole entire routine,
is when I do my foundation.
It literally just looks like this.
It all started in 2016, when I randomly,
me and my family randomly drove to Louisiana,
because we had a mutual friend
who decided our families should meet.
They thought we'd be friends.
We had a lot of stuff in common,
and they just said, you guys need to meet.
And so, we literally drove down.
I've never met these people in my life,
and they set up like a little pizza party when we get there,
so that we can all like eat pizza
and get to know each other basically.
So we show up at this pizza place,
and that's where I see Asa for the very first time.
I literally, vividly remember pulling up
to this random pizza place,
and I'm walking in,
and there being a ton of people there,
and there were three guys in a corner.
One of them was wearing a beanie,
one of them had shaggy, Justin Biebery hair,
and they were all sitting together, looking so cool,
and one of them was Asa.
- I just had a super ugly outfit on.
I had white jeans or something.
It was horrible.
And we got there and it was me,
my cousin, Will, and our friend Cameron.
Walked in the room,
Bailey's entire family was there,
already waiting for us at the tables
in the pizza restaurant,
and it was so awkward.
Literally, just like walked in the room,
I didn't know who they were, never heard of them before.
My sister and some of my cousins
had watched their videos before.
For me, it was like, "Okay, hey."
We just walked into the room, we said hi,
then all of a sudden my sister and cousins, girl cousins,
came in and totally just started screaming their heads off
when they saw Brooklyn and Bailey.
And I was like, "What the heck?
"Did I miss something, who is this?".
- Basically, I just ended up hanging out
at this pizza place for a little while
with all of my friends that I had just met,
and I just ignored the boys, which was Asa.
And quite frankly the whole day's a blur.
Do I remember what happened after that?
No, I know we were at that pizza place.
I know that we all clicked and we were having a lot of fun
with this new family that we just met,
and then I think we just dispersed
and went our own ways for the day.
Then either that night or the next day,
is when we hung out a little bit more.
- By the way, I always take off my glasses to do hairspray.
That's a pro-tip,
because otherwise you'll get little grainy dots
on your glasses, so.
(hairspray spraying)
Lets just give some of that.
Instantly, when I met Bailey
I just noticed she had
the most incredible bubbly personality.
It was so cute.
She was just so friendly and easy to talk to,
and I'd never really experienced that with a girl.
Someone that was so magnetic, and easy to talk to, and cute,
and I was like, "Dang, girl",
and like instantly decided I had a crush on her.
(Asa laughing)
- We ended up going to their farm and meeting their llamas,
'cause they had llamas.
I'm not telling this story well,
'cause the memory's not jogging.
But basically we hung out at this farm,
and I got our very first picture together.
I'm standing at the edge,
and then Asa is three people in, standing next to Brooklyn,
and I just think that's so crazy,
I look at that picture and I'm literally like,
"I had no idea that my husband was right there, none."
That's so crazy.
Anyway, long story short,
we were at this farm,
we took our first picture together,
we were all hanging out just as friends,
even later that night we were hanging out as friends,
but Asa didn't see it as just friends.
He was flirting up a storm the entire time,
and at one point I know he tried to pull me outside,
and get me to ride on a golf cart with him.
You know, the typical like middle school,
16 year old flirtations of like,
"Oh, come ride this golf cart with me",
"and come flirt with me",
and all this stuff was happening.
I can't remember the order of things,
'cause I don't have a good memory like that,
but I know at one point,
we had a dinner together where he was sitting by himself
at a dinner table with a guitar,
and I felt bad that he was by himself,
and so I just took up my plate of food
and walked over to his table and sat down,
and I was like "hey",
like chit-chatting with him,
and he says that was the moment he knew.
He was like "she sat down at my table",
"I'm gonna date this girl."
- I was really awkward when I was 15,
I didn't really know how to talk to people in general.
So at dinner, instead of hanging out with everyone,
I just went inside, grabbed a guitar,
and sat at a table alone and played the guitar.
And maybe it was intentional to attract her attention,
I don't know.
Sure enough, Bailey comes strolling over to my table,
comes and sits with me,
and starts chatting with me while I'm playing guitar,
and I'm like "oh yeah, she totally likes me back."
In reality I think she was just being nice
because she's genuinely like a really nice person.
I misread that situation entirely.
Yikes.
- We ended up going to church together that weekend.
We grew up with going to different churches
so it was definitely a change for me.
I didn't know what the practices were that they did there,
and whenever we attended the church, Asa happened,
"happened", to sit right next to me
on the pew at the church.
- This morning we went to church.
All of our families went to church and I literally
went to bed dreaming about Bailey,
like, could not get her out of my head,
was thinking about her all night long,
like could not fall asleep because I was just so excited.
Thought she was the cutest girl in the world.
So we went to church the next day
and Bailey did not want to sit by me.
I didn't know this, I genuinely thought the whole time
she had a crush on me,
and apparently that wasn't the case,
but I was blind to that,
I saw what I wanted to see,
and we went to church and she tried to sit
as far away from me as possible.
Well, what did I do?
I managed to sit right beside her.
- At this point, I remember being like "bro".
This guy's gotta leave me alone,
I am just not at all interested, what the heck?
And so I just kept scooting closer and closer to Brooklyn,
like, get me away from him,
and he was not getting the signal
because he just kept scooting closer and closer to me.
Every time I scooted away, he would just scoot closer.
- At the end of church, I basically told her
"hey, we usually hold hands when we pray",
and she was like "oh, okay",
and so I reached out my hand, held her hand,
and in the middle of the prayer, she looks up
and no-one else is holding hands.
(Asa laughs)
- This kid.
Nobody else is holding hands, just me and Asa.
This guy tricked me into holding his hand.
I was furious.
16 year old me was like "excuse me".
I yanked my hand away from him so fast,
sat, like tucked it under my leg,
sat on my hand, scooted as far away from him
as I possibly could get and was glaring at him
the rest of the day.
Literally drama.
16 year old me was a bit dramatic.
I gotta give Asa credit though,
because the holding hands trick really did work.
It caught my interest enough
and I had a crush on somebody else,
I was not looking for somebody in my life,
and the holding hands thing really got me.
So, the next day,
because remember, this whole this is a weekend event
with his family,
but one of the days we went to this
formal restaurant together
and I finally was interested enough.
He cute, he's nice, he's funny,
I might as well get his phone number
so I can just text him for fun, you know.
So I had the guts to ask him for his phone number.
- And guess what, she asked me for my number.
Come on.
That is a success.
She might say she didn't like it,
but I'm telling you, it worked.
Confidence works.
- But basically after that, I texted him, he texted me,
we mutually texted back and forth for a year
until I realized; hmm, I kinda like this guy,
and we started dating,
and since then it's been history.
We never took breaks, we never broke up,
we did long distance for two and half years,
and here we are.
And there is documentation of literally every step
of that whole process.
Also gotta give Lash Next Door a shout out
'cause y'all already know it's the best mascara.
(upbeat music)
(hairdryer blowing)
- I was gonna tell my story.
(Brooklyn laughing)
- Stop.
- I thought I would tell a funny story about Dakota and I
because I think that that feels fitting
since this is like a "Get Ready With Me" video
about the two of us.
Starting with Dakota and I met originally
on my "10 Dates in 10 Days" video.
Obviously our original date got cut down quite a bit
because the people I was with got in a plane crash
and that was a really big deal
and so we had to cut our date off
so that I could go be with them,
but Dakota was absolutely so persistent
about wanting to take me on a date.
He would text me once every two weeks for months,
I swear to you it was months.
He would pay for me to fly out to Utah,
he would come fly out to me in Texas,
he wanted to come do things,
and at the time I was like "no, I'm not interested in boys",
"I'm not doing that",
and then I decided to move to Utah to attend school
and Dakota caught wind that I was going out there
and he lived out in Utah and he probably was like
"this is my opportunity".
So he text me and he was like "I will fly to Texas,"
"I will move you, drive you and move you back in in Utah"
"if you will just let me basically"
"spend that time with you."
And me, being resourceful was like "I need someone strong"
"to lift my furniture, and I don't wanna drive"
"the 24 hours to Utah."
So I was like "done".
(Brooklyn laughing)
And I know some of you guys are gonna be like
"that's so mean, poor Dakota."
He was fine, I promise he was fine.
- When the time came, I volunteered to go to Texas
to help move, 'cause I figured that it could
get me down there to see her.
It worked.
Flew to Texas and I was thinking I could just spend
one on one time with Brooklyn the whole,
I think it's like 18 hour drive,
but no, I did not talk to her at all,
I talked to her mom Mindy and Carrie the whole way
while Brooklyn slept so I didn't really
get to know her too well.
So, yeah, that was the whole experience of driving
and moving her.
- He ended up moving me in and, you know,
at that point I was all like, all right,
he's like all right.
I could hang out with him some more.
So the next week I drove down to where he lived
and hung out with him,
and you guys, he was so smitten with me,
he asked me to be his girlfriend.
(Brooklyn laughing)
Literally that week, it was like, what,
it was like two or three weeks after he moved me,
it was not the right time,
but he was just like "be my girlfriend",
and I said "no".
(Brooklyn laughing)
And I made him wait till it was the right time.
- I don't know why she said I asked her in three weeks,
she asked me to be her boyfriend in three weeks,
so it was all her, not me.
(Dakota laughing)
- Before I kindly refresh Dakota's memory,
you guys need to go subscribe to our channel
so you can see more funny moments like this.
All right, let's go see what actually happened.
- Go in the other room. - That is such a lie.
- So she asked and I said "no, I need to give it some time."
- That is a lie.
- Okay, I did ask her to be my girlfriend.
It was three weeks and I asked her to be my girlfriend,
she said "no",
and then a month and half later, we made it official,
so Brooklyn played hard to get.
She definitely was hard so I'd keep chasing her.
- Okay, look at my hair.
- [Dakota] Cute.
- And I am gonna be totally honest with you,
I'm gonna stay in my pajamas
because I don't wanna change,
and this is a good enough outfit, I feel like.
This is my full outfit,
and it feel like it's good enough.
Like, it's a cute little set, you know.
So I feel like it's cute enough to go out
for a casual date, right?
- Yeah. - If I change my shoes.
- Can I wear my pajamas?
- No, you gotta change, sorry.
This is not as cute of a set as mine.
Sorry, hate to break it to ya.
Guys, I'm really liking this tripod.
I can carry it around so easily
and it just stands wherever I want it to,
it's so nice.
Wow.
Okay, welcome to our closet.
It's very big, and also kind of messy,
so sorry about that.
(upbeat music)
This flannel, and a plain white tee.
Try that on.
Dakota just did this.
Apparently I'm supposed to now dress him.
- Yeah.
I have a hurt finger.
- All right, show the camera your outfit,
what do we think?
- Yeah.
- Ah no, I'm not the biggest fan now that it's all on.
I think I'm gonna switch out the flannel
for something else.
Okay, this was the second choice
and I really don't like that.
So no jean jacket.
Okay, final outfit.
With black boots.
Do you like it, or no?
- Yep.
- Yeah. - This'll work.
- All right.
We are headed to the first part of our double date,
which is lunch.
We are going to a local Mexican restaurant
that Dakota and Asa went to the other day
and said that their queso and food is delicious.
So that is where we're headed right now,
we're gonna meet Bailey and Asa there.
Dakota is driving.
- It is cold here, what the heck?
- Yes, and before anyone asks,
he is totally capable of driving with his thumb,
also, I did not force him to drive,
he wanted to drive.
Okay, we beat Bailey and Asa.
Now we're gonna take a good long look at the menu.
- [Dakota] Oh yeah.
- See what we're gonna order.
I'm gonna guess they're late by 10 minutes.
- 10.
- Oh, you can't say the same time as me.
- I said 10 before you.
- Okay, I'll say eight, eight minutes.
So, what time is it right now?
12:24. - 12:25.
- Okay.
Let's see when they arrive.
- 12:24 and they said they'd be here at 12:25.
- Let's see.
- Ta-da, now I'm all ready for this date,
and now I really feel like I gotta go say hi to Asa
because after telling all those stories.
I'm probably butchering the story telling by the way,
'cause I feel like that was a very,
a jumbled mess of story telling,
'cause that whole weekend was crazy
and it is all a blur,
every part of that is a blur.
Let me go see if I can find him
so we can go say hi to Asa.
The man, the myth, the legend.
Here he is.
There you are.
- I decided I'm getting brisket tacos.
Oh, that sounds delicious, and queso.
Dakota is getting.
- I don't know. - Oh.
- [Dakota] There's so many things.
- I thought he'd figured out his order.
It's been eight minutes and they're not here.
- I think I'm gonna lose too.
- Dakota said 10, so they've got two more minutes
and then we both lose the bet.
- We're off to the date night.
Yay.
Time to go on a double date, double date.
- [Asa] Double date. - I feel like it's funny
that we're so excited for this
when we literally lived together for year.
- We hang out with them every day.
- We lived together for a year,
we've shared a common space.
- It's been 10 minutes.
I think we might be getting stood up.
- Hey, on the bright side, we've had some dank queso.
- I think we just got stood up,
I think we're getting stood up.
- Then it's a date for you and I.
- Yeah.
On the bright side, we freaking demolished that queso.
- Okay, we're here. - We're here
dinner time. - Time to go in
for our double date. - I'm so hungry.
- [Brooklyn] Hey, hey. - What's up.
- [Brooklyn] What's up?
What's up? - Wow.
- [Asa] Look at your phone.
- We thought we were getting stood up.
Asa told us 12:22 to 25.
- 25 is not 30.
- [Bailey] It's 12:36.
We took bets on who was gonna be right
about how late you were and both of us were wrong.
- [Brooklyn] What's up.
- Well, we demolished the queso, sorry.
- [Brooklyn] Okay, rude. - We ordered another one,
we ordered another one. - [Brooklyn] That's so rude.
- [Brooklyn] All right, check it out.
I mean that looks freaking delicious.
Bailey copied me.
- I did.
- [Brooklyn] And got my same meal.
Asa's going 12 year old style. - Quesadilla.
- [Brooklyn] Quesadilla.
Dakota's looks bigger than his face.
- It is.
[Brooklyn] Time to devour.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, well, we were gonna go and extend this date,
but now it's hailing on us.
- It's little teeny tiny hail pieces on the ground.
- [Brooklyn] Literally hailing so I think
we're gonna call it. - I think that's it for today.
Sorry guys.
- Goodbye double date.
- Bye. - Bye.
- [Bailey] Until next time. - See ya.
See you literally in like five seconds, probably later.
All right guys, as I'm getting currently hailed on,
I will see y'all next week, bye.
(upbeat music)
