- What's up, Brooklyn? I'm Dakota. (laugh)
That's Farmer Joe.
- Dirty Joe!
- I'm pretty excited for our date.
Be ready to give me some surfing lessons.
(music strum)
- Hello, everybody! We do have a date video today.
Number seven, which is crazy
'cause we're almost done with the dating videos.
But before we get to the video,
I kind of wanted to preface some events
that happened while I went on this date.
I don't know if any of y'all know but
while I was doing the "10 Dates for 10 Days" series,
I was staying with the Mikesell family.
If you don't know who they are,
they're a really fun little YouTube family
and they're some of our really really good family friends.
So I was staying with their family
and Betsy, the mom, she was the one
that was helping me set up all these dates
and was helping me film them
and all that kind of stuff.
We went down to a place in Utah
for this date, this video.
And it was the first date that Betsy didn't
go on with me, since we were going to be boating
and we didn't have tons of room in the boat.
But while I did that, they went and visited
their friends Shad and Jazlyn,
which they're also kind of influencers
And if you guys follow them, you know
that Shad has a six seater plane.
And that while they were visiting them,
the Mikesell family and Shad and Jazlyn
were in a plane wreck in that plane.
That actually happened while I was on this date.
So if you watch this video, I went boating
and did all these things.
I didn't have reception and had no idea
that they'd gotten in a plane wreck during the date.
And so we still have some video clips
but I did find out part way though the date.
And so things got a little chaotic and that's why...
If there isn't any context in the video,
it was because we were all trying to figure out
how to deal with this really big life crisis.
But if you guys want to hear more
about the story of the plane wreck,
if you guys want to hear about their healing process,
what they're going through now,
how they're raising money, all these kinds of things,
you can check out their YouTube channels
and all their socials.
I'm gonna pop up all of them right here.
They're literally the sweetest family
and they are champions.
They're all okay, everybody in the plane wreck.
They all survived and they're okay.
They're just, you know, trying to heal and stuff.
So if you guys want to know more about the story,
you can check it out here.
But I just wanted to give you guys some context
because if you've been following them,
you know that the time line does kind of match up
with my videos.
So that's kind of how it all went down.
After the plane wreck, I actually was planning
on not finishing the dating series.
And just focusing on Betsy and the Mikesell family
because that's what was important to me.
But Betsy, being the wonderful human that she is,
she was like, "I need you to finish the dating series
because it's bringing me joy and it's giving me
something to look forward to every day
when I have all these other really hard
and traumatic things going on at the time."
So I did finish the dating series.
I do have all these videos that I'm still putting up.
But I did want to give you guys some context
because the energy in those videos
is definitely a little bit different.
Because I was struggling with the Mikesell family
and Betsy's not there, and we just had a lot
of heavy things going on at the time.
So the next couple of videos, they're just gonna probably
be a little bit different energy.
Anyway, I just wanted to like preface this video
with all that information so you guys knew that.
If you want to know all the other plane wreck things,
and you want to know the story,
you guys can just check it out.
I'll put the links in description box
for all that kind of stuff.
So that is all and we are going to go on.
You guys can watch date number seven now.
Not gonna lie, I'm just like this much nervous
because I don't know how to wakeboard.
I don't know how to do all the, you know,
boating things.
that seems like a consistent theme for these dates:
doing things that Brooklyn is not good at.
(circus music)
(laugh)
But it's okay, because it's gonna be fun
and we're gonna meet a lot of new, fun people
and it's gonna be a blast, so yay!
- [Betsy] How are you feeling after like,
a three hour drive?
- I'm feeling good. I'm kind of nervous
but also pumped because this date is gonna be long
because we're boating, you know?
- [Betsy] Yeah
- So, I don't know, hopefully it's good, you know?
- [Betsy] Okay, so I talked to him on the phone before this
- Mhm
- [Betsy] and I really liked him. I feel like he seems
like a cool, chill guy.
- Oh, good.
- [Betsy] We're like, out in the country.
This is like her horse arena area.
- Yeah, we're like on a ranch right now.
- [Betsy] Oh my gosh,
I want you to really come riding horses too.
Maybe we'll have to sneak that in if we can.
- I do like riding horses.
(Betsy squeals)
(bottle squirts)
(hands rubbing together)
- [Betsy] He's here!
(people shouting excitedly)
- [Betsy] I didn't know you were there!
- I'm Brooklyn, nice to meet you.
- Dakota.
- Everyone, this is the camera.
- [Betsy] Say hello!
- Hello, everyone.
- So we're going boating today?
- Yep we are.
- (indistinct) Okay, I'm pumped!
- Doing a couple of things, so
- [Brooklyn] I want everyone to know that
I am about to ride on of these by myself.
Be proud of me.
Also, look at all their fun toys.
(music starts)
Seriously, this is crazy.
(laughter)
We're about to head off. Pretty pumped.
I've never been surfing before on a boat.
So this is gonna be an interesting experience
because I feel like I might be with a group
of experienced people.
I might just look like an infant,
but it'll be worth a shot.
- Excited?
- Well, hopefully maybe I'll figure it
- There you go.
(indistict)
(engine revving)
- Get your extension. Ready?
- I think so.
- Okay, get her, Blake.
(engine revving)
Oh, she almost...
Go.
(engine revving)
(people cheering)
- She had it!
- [Camera Person] Do you feel like a pro?
- Five seconds might be a record!
- [Driver] Tell me when you're ready.
- Go.
(engine revving)
(people cheering)
- Look at her go!
(people cheering)
- [Camera Person] Okay, on a scale of one to ten,
how good is she?
- Oh, a ten easy.
- [Camera Person] She's pro.
- I've never seen anyone get up that quick.
And throw the rope in.
- [Camera Person] Okay, okay, how do you feel?
- I feel good. I got up for a good amount of time.
I was pretty happy about that.
- [Camera Person] A pro.
- That last one, I was like, I think I'm gonna drown.
So I just let go. (laugh)

She's gonna ride on my shoulders.
- [Camera Person] How do we feel about that?
- I mean, he seems like he knows what he's doing.
(camera person laughing)
I'm sure I'll survive.
(engine revving)
(camera person cheering)
- Let me see your hand.
- Why don't you go ahead and try.
(people cheering)
(people screaming)
(people cheering)
- Standing up: hard as hard as I thought it would be.
It's the balance that is the toughest part.
I thought him being on a surfboard would be difficult,
but it's actually me trying to stand on his body
that is the hardest part.
But we got up for like two seconds
so I'm pretty proud of myself.

- Food was A1. We're all stuffed.
I think ready to take a nap.
But we're headed out the restaurant.
And we're pumped.
About to go up this, like, straight up hill.
- [Brooklyn] I don't know if you guys can see that.
But we're gonna go up that.
He's doing it, not me, he's doing it.
(engine revving)
Oh my gosh. (laughs)
(engine roaring)
What are we about to do?
- We are headed to the top of that mountain over there.
- [Brooklyn] This one. Like, I thought that one was bad.
Now we're doing this one, which from the camera
doesn't look that steep,
but from my point of view, looks very steep so...
- Stay tuned.
(Brooklyn laughs)
- [Brooklyn] I am literally laying flat
against my seat right now.
I don't know if you can see behind me.
Laying flat.
- Oh my God. (laughs)
- [Brooklyn] This is the view.
(lighthearted music)
- I don't understand how these tiny little machines do it
but (screams)
We are on the ground. Nose on the ground.
(screams)
I do not. My brain, blown. Mind (explosion sound)
I'm gonna drive this thing.
I'm a little scared. But we're gonna just do it.
Hopefully we don't die because that would be sad so,
wish me luck!

♪ lalalalalalalala ♪
- [Brooklyn] Since we don't have Betsy here with us,
I'm going to interview you.
Pretend like I'm not here.
- Okay.
- [Brooklyn] Okay, how did the date go?
- It was awesome. We got some surfing lessons from Brooklyn.
She got up her first time.
(rewinding sound)
(slow motion) She got up her first time.
(circus music)
And we went RZR riding and I thought I was gonna die
but we didn't.
- [Brooklyn] 'Cause I was driving.
On a scale of one to ten, what would you have given it?
- Oh definitely a ten.
- [Brooklyn] Sweet! (indistinct) Pretend that I'm not here!
I'm just kidding, I'm hearing all the commentary.
Yeah, what was your favorite part of the day?
- It was all really good.
I did not think Brooklyn was such a good driver.
(Brooklyn laughing)
Scary driver actually.
- [Brooklyn] Yeah, whoops.
- She's really good though.
- [Brooklyn] Yeah, he had to grab the handle bars
a few times.
- Yep.
(laughing)
- Okay, y'all. So on the ride home from my date,
I realized I didn't do my interview
but it was like a three hour drive.
So now I'm home, just washed my face,
which is why it's pink.
But also I got a little sunburned
which is why it's also pink.
This is all beside the point. I need to do an interview
so I'm going to just interview myself cause its really late
and I don't want to wake anyone up to interview me.
Number one, how did I feel about the date?
I thought it was literally so freaking fun.
We did so many things that I have never done before
and I love doing crap like that
so I really liked that we were able to do
some adventurous stuff.
I also, number two, thought that not only was my date
easy to get along with and super nice and really fun,
but also so were all his friends.
So I was like, I kind of fit into the friend group
that was cool.
But yeah, and my date himself was so sweet
the whole time he was like hyping me up
any time I was doing anything he was like,
"You go girl, you can beat me".
Just such a nice guy, he's so sweet.
Had so much fun. I don't know if you guys could see that
in the video,
but it was literally like, I was having a blast all day
just laughing till my stomach hurt.
Yeah, I don't know.
Another really good date, guys.
(squealing)
