Transcript
I can't afford to propose to my girlfriend, so today is day 22 of Good Dashing for a $6,500 diamond rank. But I only made one delivery today. My girlfriend woke up this morning with a terrible headache, a bad cough, and a sore throat that hurt so much she she could barely sleep. And with the little strength she had, she told me she felt cool. So to help her feel better while she napped, I drove to Panera. Not to DoorDash, but to pick up and deliver something warm. Because one day it's going to be in sickness and in health, but today, it's creamy tomato soup. Tier two days down, $902.13 out of 6,500. Follow to see how long it takes.
