Do we still call it hump day? Is that still a thing? I have not heard that in so long. Have you? I call it that. I've been a stream. On my stream, we always celebrate hump day. Okay, well, I mean, I love it.

We're celebrating today with a brand new episode of your second date podcast. Yeah. So, I mean, it does feel like it should always be a hump day special. There's got to be, I think hump day is a millennial thing now. Is it? Yeah, like Gen Z is not doing it. Yeah. What do you guys call it?

Wacky Wednesday. Uh-oh. Don't give them ideas. Yeah, wet Wednesdays, let's go. All right, before this goes off the rails more, let's jump to the comment section. What do you got, Alexis? Yeah, infamous Q said, I'm an OG. listeners since 2011.

Well, it was on the radio, which, hey, we're still here, by the way. I reached a new level of addiction. L.O., my toddler would always tell me to turn on Book and Effie. I'll be Book. I love it. I love it so much. Thank you so much. Well, here is a new episode of Book and Effie's Second Date update starts right now.

Book Day. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, Second Date Update. Have you ever been out having such a good? good time with someone that you accidentally rob them? What? What? What are you robbing them of? Like you're having fun, you're sipping a beer,

next thing you know, whoa, how did it all your credit cards get into my wallet? Gee! That's weird. Is that how identities get stolen? I'm not sure how it works, but I'm only asking, because one of our listeners, Will, reached out, saying he met a woman and is still in possession of something that belongs

to her. What? So, we'll get to that in a second, but first, Let's welcome the accidental thief to our show. Will, how you doing, man? Good, good, everybody. What's going on? Hey, listen, we understand pickpockets have hearts, too. That's true.

So you also deserve love. Please tell me you accidentally grabbed her card and you split the bill or something. Well, we'll get to what it is in a second. We want to know who did you meet. All right. So I met this girl named Terry. And we were out at the bar. So Terry is the victim of the crime.

Her name is Terry. Yeah. It's like we're building a case here. Exactly. You can be a victim of a crime and a victim of love at the same time, I believe. So what happened at the bar with Terry? It was a pretty busy night at the bar, and I went and got up to use the restroom. Okay.

And I happened to see this phone on the ground as go pick it up and turn around and just gave kind of like one of those bar shots. Like, hey, anybody lose this? Oh, okay. Or does anyone want to steal it for me? Yeah. Sell it on the dark web. Is this before or after you went through the phone just to see you're going to decide? Contrary to your belief, I am not a thief.

Okay, there you go. No, that's a good move. You sound like a good guy. That just means it was the face ID didn't work. Yeah, exactly. Okay. So did anybody claim it? Someone comes over, and to my surprise, it's this really cute girl, and that's happened to be Terry.

You're like, yes! That's the universe. Oh, yeah, the bar gods are smiling on you. So, okay. Opportunity has presented itself. What do you do? Yes, she is. because I didn't take her phone,

she offered to buy me a drink. That's awesome. And that's the cool thing to do. And what a way to strike a conversation up? Yeah. So now you're at the bar together. She's buying you drinks. I mean, how's that go?

She dragged me over to her table of friends. And it was good vibes all around until I said, all right, my friend at the bar, I got to go back to him because I didn't go there alone. I was my friend. Odd that you didn't invite your guy friend over the table full of women. Yeah. Where's your wingmanism, bro?

What the heck? He's kind of an introvert. I was trying to get the liquor to kind of extrovert him a little bit. But, yeah, he's kind of shy. We've all got that one friend that we're like, let's not introduce him to the rest of the people. We're not looking at him right now, I swear. Everybody in this room, their hat on backwards and a beard. We don't have people like that on this show.

I don't know anyone. Okay. So you went and got your friend and then... I actually went from the table. I left and she actually came with me. She just followed me to the bar with my friend. And then before I even made it back to my friend, she made the move on me and asked to hang out after.

Dude. That was pretty cool. We had to ISO it up. We had to do one-on-one on another bar. Ah. Isolation. Sports terms, yeah. That's a dumb analogy.

So now that you're alone with Terry, what happens? I found out that red flags are very manageable. Okay, what were they? Oh, just basic stuff like trust issues, crazy ex-boyfriend. Crazy ex. No kids, so that's a plus. All right. So stuff that everybody has.

Yeah. Yeah. Translation, she's fun. Okay, we got it. Remember, she's obviously the one not calling you back. So what are your red flags? I mean, if we're going to be open about this. This isn't about me.

I feel like maybe she was doing the same thing he was. Well, obviously. Saw something that wasn't manageable. I mean, Brooke, he collects the red flags, but he doesn't provide them. Yeah. Okay. Well, how does the date end? Let's go to, we're running out of time here.

Yeah. It went well. We had a bunch of drinks after that, and she ended up having a crash at my place. Oh, wow. Okay. Okay. Was that a crash or was that a cuddle set? I know.

Crash sounds like she slept on the couch. You slept in the bedroom. We didn't do anything. I don't get some tell. We didn't do anything. Oh, he said I don't get some tell, which means they did do stuff. No, I think it still means they didn't do it. Okay.

Okay, so nothing Exactly You were a gentleman about it She slept there and then in the morning Was there more interaction? No, she actually kind of took off Real quick after But she left one of her shoes behind

What? Ow That's the whole reason why we're doing this call here I didn't take her phone or wall And I have one of her Cinderella slippers she left behind Did she have flip flops on her? How drunk was she would still woke on

She forgot a shoe? Or how fast did she have to exit that she didn't even care she was only wearing one shoe. And what's going on? I don't know how anyone leaves the house that shoe, but I tried calling her because I have her number, tried texting her. She's not responding. So I'm trying to figure out why she ghosted me and leaving this shoe behind is like some

sort of token of our fun night or something. Okay. I think it's an accident if she's not calling you back. But he's thinking maybe she left it there on purpose. I know. That's what sucks about leaving something at a guy's house that you don't actually like. you're like, oh my God, he's going to think that, and that's not what I meant. Now I just have to be done with it.

Like, it's an item I'll never get back. She left her dentures here. I know what that means. But just only one side. Okay, so how long has it been since she left? I've spent about a week, a week and a half now. Oh. And I love to see her again.

I love to hang out. But I have her shoe on my mantle, and I kind of want to get back to her. Okay. That is a single man's decoration. No. Like a trophy? I feel like you have a couple paper posters hanging on the wall as well and one stark light in the corner. Have you been to my place or what?

She's been to a lot of places just like it. The black leather IKEA couch says it all. Oh, yeah, I just have one of those. But we don't want Brooke there. We want Terry to come back over and reclaim her stuff. Get you another date with her. We'll try when we come back and do your second date update right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Second date update. We mentioned in part one we have an accidental thief with no personal red flags on the line with us. His name is Will, who first was accidentally in possession of a woman's phone, and now is accidentally in possession of that same woman's shoe. I mean, it's kind of raccoonish almost at this point. You know, just little thieves. Yeah, but it's... It all belongs to a woman named Terry, who ended up spending the night at his place,

but was gone by the time that he woke up the next morning, leaving behind nothing except one cheeky little sneaker. How? Is it a sneaker? Or is it a heel? I mean, Will said shoe in part one. Do you know what type of shoe it is, Will? No, I really don't.

It's some kind of, like, lady shoe. I don't really have a lady shoe. Yeah. All women's clothing is weird. I'm going to guess kitten heel. What are kitten heels? I don't have time for this. Yeah, I don't think we have time to delve into all the,

weird stuff that women wear on their bodies. But the point is, we're trying to help Will return this shoe and possibly even get him a date with Terry. Because that is something that you want, right? Well, absolutely. I think we had a great time in kind of disbelief that she isn't calling me back to get her shoe. I can't wait to hear the story of how she left with only one. That's what I want to hear. I think this calls great, by the way, because you found her phone and now you're being a good guy calling her trying to get her other stuff back.

At least you're an honest person. Honest people are not the type of men that most women are going. No, we're going to give him the X. She obviously doesn't want the shoe if she's not answering his call. Something's up and we need to figure out what it is. So let's just call Terry and we'll see if she answers. Hopefully she has an explanation for why she left it. But here we go.

Hey, is this Terry? Yes. Hey, Terry. Yes. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We are so excited to talk to you, Terry. Yes.

Oh, I? Just warning you, this is going to be a little bit weird, but you might like it. It's a good story that you're going to tell your girlfriends later. I can guarantee that. Hopefully. We do something on this show called a second date update. Okay. So that's where if you ever hang out with somebody and you really like them, but you're not getting a call back, you can reach out to us and we can try and get a hold of them for you.

I'm not trying to reach anybody. No, no, no. Someone likes you and wants us to reach out to you on their behalf. Yeah, a guy named Will. Okay. Do you remember Will? Remember Will? The guy who found your phone at the bar?

I mean, sure. I know him. Okay. Okay. That's not actually, that wasn't a bad response. We've gotten much worse than that. It sounds like you're still smiling, which is a good sign. She wasn't like, Will.

But you don't sound thrilled about it either. So, I mean. I don't know. What? I mean, it sounds like it was a pretty heavy night of drinking that you guys shared together. Not to accuse you or anything. He said it was a great time. He said a lot of drinks.

She just may still have a headache 10 days later. The point is we know a lot about what happened that night. And Will has a lot of questions along with a shoe. Yeah. I mean, I don't get why he would tell you guys that. That's kind of an interesting part of the story that you left with only one. He thought maybe a sign that you wanted it back. I mean, I didn't leave with one shoe.

I don't know. Like, I'm kind of like... So you actually love with both shoes? That's not what we heard. Yeah, tell us what happened. I just like got dressed in the dark, but I definitely put two shoes on. I'm not going to leave with one. It wasn't like, I wasn't like running out with my bra in my purse or anything.

Like, you know, I've done that before too, so don't even worry about it. Yeah. I hear you, sister. Okay. But by the time I get in the Uber, that's when I look down and I realize that, one shoe is mine and then the other is actually his shoe. Oh, you put it on by accident? Wait, does he have little band feet?

Which is fine. I'm so glad you said it because like literally that's it. Like I have the ick. Because like I don't have like super big feet or anything. Let me just like preface it by saying. Like I'm pretty average. I don't know. I wear an eight and a half.

You have the ick because you could fit into his shoe? Yeah. Like I don't. I don't. Like, I'm not trying to... It kind of makes sense to me. I don't know. Eight and a half is a pretty...

It's not that small of a woman's foot. I mean... Oh, so she has like a larger woman's foot and he has a smaller man's feet. Obviously, you saw him in person. Like, he obviously wasn't that short or, like, tiny that it was an ick. Just the... Yeah. I mean, Terry, I think on our side, we're in agreement.

That shouldn't be a huge deal breaker where you never want to see or speak to him again. I mean, it's just like an ick factor for me. And, like, I don't know. Feet are like a whole... Like, they're a whole... It's so... that you can't even see him again to get to, like, recollect your shoe?

I mean, you can't come back from the ire, bro. I agree. I agree with her in the fact that men's feet are kind of gross. Like, just as general, like, all over the board. They're, like, they're hairy. Their toes don't look good. Right. And now I'm thinking they're, like, stumpy or something.

Because, like, it's like, I don't know. Like, I have this a vision in my head of, like, what they might. Okay. Well, I don't know. We don't want to say too much, Terry, because you probably need to know that Will is actually listening to this right now on the other line. Foot and mouth, am I right?

Yikes. Yeah, that's good. But she can still talk because it doesn't take up much space. Yeah, so. Oh, okay. Terry. This is already like very grinching me and like. Sorry.

Are you still talking about his feet or what? No, no. We're sorry, Terry. It's honestly, we've heard way worse insults than that. But we'll talk to her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You did not fit perfectly in my shoe.

Let's be honest. Come on now. I mean, I literally didn't even notice that it wasn't mine until I was in daylight. Listen, shoe size does not mean everything, all right? I don't have small man feet. I think you have big women feet. Oh. Okay.

Why would you do that route? Also, I don't. Like, the average is legit, like an eight. Like, I wear like an eight and a half. Like, yeah, but what does shoe size have to do with anybody's person? Like, I'm, like, wired to think that, like, I don't. I don't know, like a man is like a big man. I don't know.

And like, I don't need like a big man on tiny feet. It's probably not even safe for your center of gravity. That's all me. I'm going to tell you, my husband's feet are size 13, and you do not want that in your house because he leaves him in every doorway, walkway, forever. And I'm tripping on these ginormous boat shoes. They're terrible. And they're so expensive.

I mean, Will, talk to her. Terry, we had a great time. Like, I, what's the issue? I mean, come on. Like, really, are you looking for a clown? That's a funny visual. Well, I think you're the one who needs to be honest about your foot size. Own your truth.

I fit in your shoes. I mean, I mean, we can. Where's the shame, Will? We can test it right now. He's got the shoe on the mantle. He could just slip her shoe on his foot. Well, why is my shoe on your mantle? Start there.

Hey, you got good style. It's pretty. I don't know where else to put it. Oh, really? Because, like, two minutes ago, you're like, oh, your feet are big. Like, which is it? That doesn't take with the fact of your shoes look good. You have style.

I'll give you that big feet. Yeah. Come on. Terry, he's pretty fun. Like, you had a great time with him that night. You introduced him to your friends. He returns your phone out of the kindness of his heart. He didn't pressure you or try to into anything when you stayed the night.

Like, come on. He sounds like a good guy. guy. Yeah, come over. We can talk about it over some drinks. Hey. You can cuddle up inside of her. Yeah.

Okay. Let me be so for real right now. Well, let me be the more real. It's more real. Even more so for real. I'm the most real. And I'm going to really offer a second date between the two of you. If you're willing to see Will one more time, we would pay for it.

Okay. There's one thing that's like really important to me in like finding somebody who I like to talk to and vibe with. And that's like honestly, like, can you make me laugh? And like, I will give you this. Well, you do make me laugh. Even in this, I'm mad at like how funny some of this is me. Because it's making me rethink like a little bit of, you know, my position.

Because I truly was really embarrassed about this whole thing. All right. What's a few drinks? You know, like if you do want to hang out, I would hang out again. What? She just did our job for us. Look at that. That's a yes.

We did a lot of work before that, Alexis. Listen, I admire that you. giving me this chance besides the fact that this stallion here has hosts her feet. I appreciate that. Let me she laughed again. That was good. And going forward, the two of you can share closets. That part is actually a fear of mine.

Could be cute. If my husband can fit into my pants, things need to change. Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Eating well shouldn't be complicated.

Brooke, I just got a text from your husband. Oh. And he's trying on your podcast. pants right now. Dude, I am serious. I am serious. If he could button those things, I am going to be so mad. So bad.

I disagree. I say if they fit hello romance. Oh, yeah. That skinny mother. Sorry. Now when he says he wants to get in your pants, it means something totally different. Yeah. And maybe your blouse.

I'll be honest. I was pretty blindsided by how that ended, because she full 180ed after telling us how much she had the ick at the thought of his feet. Well, I think that we talk some reason into her. I actually truly think we helped. By we, I mean me. Oh, but yes.

Truly, I'm amazed because I thought once you had the ick, you cut the cord quick. It's irreversible. So that means she just never really happened. I mean, it rhymes, so I want that to be accurate. But I didn't think there was ever coming back from the ick. There's not. I think you could be open, can't you? No.

She never had it to start. Yeah, I don't think it was really that. But whatever it was. I see, it was a false diagnosis. Yeah. But we did get it to work out, so we're happy about that. And trust me, you probably won't get the ick if you visit our podcast. Don't look at our pictures.
