It's always nerve-wracking to be back on the dating scene when you haven't dated in a while. We deal with a lot of people that have that problem on the Second Date Update because they haven't dated for whatever reason and you finally get back out there and things are kind of difficult. That's the problem that the guy on the phone is having today. He hasn't dated in over two years for a very good reason.

Darren, how are you? I'm doing good. How are you guys doing? Pretty good. Thanks for your email. Thanks for agreeing to do a second date update. Now, you said that you hadn't dated in two years. Yeah, just about over two years because my wife had passed away. Oh, man. I'm so sorry to hear that. Well, you know, I had to take the time,

and I felt like after that two years, I was ready sorry to hear that. Well, you know, I had to take the time and I felt like after that two years, I was ready to try to give it a go again. And so I did kind of what everybody does and I got an online dating profile. Okay. And the girl that you want us to call today, what's her name? Her name is Stacey. Stacey. And what attracted you to Stacey on her internet dating profile? First and foremost, I thought she was a very attractive girl. I just really kind of liked how she represented herself there. And we sent a couple messages back and forth, and then we agreed on having dinner. And can I ask, this was your actual very first date since the passing of your wife two years ago?

Yeah, first date in the past two years. That's got to be a lot of pressure, and it's got to feel weird to be back on the dating scene. Yeah, I mean, I was nervous. There's no question. Full disclosure, I kind of had to psych myself up for it a little bit in the mirror. Just, you know, let myself know that this is going to happen. This is great. You're looking good.

You know. You gave yourself like a coach's pep talk before leaving the house? A little bit before I set myself on the front line. Yeah, just a little bit. You can looking good. You know. You gave yourself like a coach's pep talk before leaving the house? A little bit before I set myself on the front line. Yeah, just a little bit. Hey, whatever you got to do, man. I try and do that a little bit every day. I just kept saying, just breathe. Just breathe through it.

Get through dinner. It's going to be great, you know. But I felt like I was ready, and I felt like it actually went pretty well. We had good conversation, and I felt like it actually went pretty well. We had good conversation and I was a little sweaty. When you say a little sweaty, how sweaty do you mean? I mean, I felt it going down my back. We can say that, I guess. But was it going down your forehead and was your clothing soaked?

I mean, there was some wiping. Okay. All right. So you were sweaty and nervous do you think your date picked up on that she did i mean i was i kind of had to acknowledge it after a little bit was there like one moment that stands out to you as like the best moment of the date uh yeah i guess a nice moment was just in that dinner when our entrees came and just i was nervous and i know i was putting that energy out there, and there was a little bit of a tension, and I just acknowledged it and said, hey, I'm nervous. You are really attractive. And my fault, my bad, and we were able to kind of laugh about it, and she said she understood.

And, you know, it just kind of changed how I felt about the evening, and I felt like she was understanding of the whole situation of my life. That's good. If she wasn't understanding about that, I wouldn't want to be calling her back at all. Sound like an evil person. Yeah, that's the reason. Exactly. Yeah.

I mean, that's exactly how it felt. On a scale of one to 10, since you've been out of the dating world for a little while, what would you give this date? I mean, I would give it a strong 7-8. A strong 7-8? That's good. Do you feel like she felt the same way, though? I mean, I thought so. I really thought so.

That's why I emailed into the show. And how did you end things with her? I drove her back to her place, and we were saying goodnight, and she had kind of put her hand out, and I'm going to admit, it was awkward. I'm awkward. I can't help it and i just i literally said out loud or can we hug and i just did it before i got an answer yes or no

just jumped in on a hug that's cute that's all right i think that's not necessarily a bad thing i mean it's a hug it's not like you said screw it and just like started trying to make out with her i mean i'm six foot four and she's you know know, got to be five, four. So I'm much taller than her. All right. So she's tiny and you're a big dude and you just engulfed her with your big arms. I guess so. Yeah. Do you feel like that creeped her out? I hope it did it. I feel like, you know, that's not going to end everything is a giant bear hug. I hope not. Honestly, I was like, I, you know, I got to get out of here, not do something else awkward. How clear were you with her that this was like your first date? And did you bring up that your wife had passed? Yeah, you know, we brought it up just because

she asked like, you know, dating a lot or why are you dating? And I kind of had to bring it up. I didn't want to lie and have it be something else. Yeah, totally. So I just kind of mentioned it, and she seemed okay with it. How many times have you tried to get a hold of her after your date? Well, like two days later, I hadn't heard anything. So I sent her a text that was just, you know, hey, it was great to see you. How's your date going? And I didn't hear anything. So I was like, well, maybe I should give her a call.

So I gave her one call and left her a voice message that was basically the same. Did you send her another text? Like, what about the hug? Don't you remember the great hug? How dare you do this to me? You know, I did not bring that up again. Okay. Do you know?

Do you think, I mean, you haven't dated in two years. Why not just, like, chalk this one up to, well, that was the first time out. We're going to give it another go with somebody else next. It just felt right. It felt right. And, you know, I figured if i think it feels right i should probably go after them okay well we'll play a song come back caller and then get your second date update okay all right sounds good all right man hang on i don't make this promise very often in second date updates,

but I promise that I'm going to get the guy who's on the phone a second date today. What? Really? I promise him, no matter what, because I like him. He's a nice guy. He's been through some stuff, and he deserves to get a date. If not with the girl that we're about to call for him, with somebody who texts in, I don't know. I think that's fine.

Or if I have to put on a dress and go out on a date with him i don't care i am guaranteeing darren that you are going to get a date out of this phone call we're about to make okay i hope so all right you know what i kind of hope she says no so that i can go out with you yeah if you're just tuning in for the second date update darren wants us to call a girl named stacy they met online he hasn't dated in a couple years for good reason. His wife passed away and he was ready to date again. So he decided to go online and he met Stacy. They went out for dinner.

He was a little bit nervous and that showed. He's sweating and just a little like awkward during the whole date. He says the date ended with a very big sweaty hug from him that she didn't really seem like she wanted. So Darren, you ready to make the phone call oh yeah let's do it all right man here we go man be confident you've got a hundred percent guaranteed success rate right now look at it

this way it doesn't matter what she says darren you're still getting a date could be with a dude but you're still getting a date i mean i am a big fan well there you go all right okay i'm gonna dial the phone number right now see if we can get her on the phone. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Stacy, please? This is Stacy. Hey, Stacy, how are you? This is Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. Um, it's okay. I, Stacy. How are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. It's okay.

I'm fine. Good. It's good to hear. Just calling to check in on you, see how you're doing. It's a courtesy call. Do you ever listen to our show at all? I think so. I've listened to it a few times. My mom really likes it. Cool. Alright. How old is your mom? 61. Nice. That's who we it. Cool. All right. How old is your mom? 61. Nice. That's who we're going for. We kill it with 61-year-old moms.

So she's the right person that we want listening. Stacey, have you ever heard a second date update before? What does that mean? That means that you recently went out on a date with somebody who listens to the show, and you haven't been calling them back since your date. So they emailed us to get you on the phone and ask if they did something wrong wow that's weird it is kind of weird but it is a segment that we do on our show and the guy's name is darren do you remember going out with darren

yeah yeah okay did you like darren um yeah yeah i did you sound very hesitant stacy no he was sweet i remember he was really nice and yeah it was a fine time okay if it was a fine time why haven't you called him back after he's texted you and tried to call you um i don't want to like you know put all his business out there but like it was i think that maybe we're just not... We're kind of at different points in our life in regards to dating and things like that. Well, in regards to putting his whole business out there, we talked to Darren, and he told us everything, that he hasn't dated in a while because his wife passed away. He also said that he was very nervous the entire time and was sweaty and gave you an awkward hug at the end of the date.

You know, it's like, I don't know, I always think like you get nervous at the beginning of the date and you kind of ease into it, but it seems kind of like the opposite for him. Like he got more nervous as the date went on. You know, he was like the most nervous at the very end and, you know, he like straight up like asked me if he could hug me and then before I could respond, he just did it. You can understand the nerves though if the dude hasn't dated for two years because of something like that. Oh, for sure, he just did it. Right. You can understand the nerves, though, if the dude hasn't dated for two years

because of something like that. Oh, for sure, for sure, yeah. And, you know, I don't have, like, any will towards him at all. I just don't think we're really compatible in that way, I think. Yeah, but he was just nervous. He hasn't been out in two years. Look, Stacey, I really want to get him a second date with you.

That's my goal here, is to make you go out with him again and give him one more shot. Yeah, is is to make you go out with him again and give him one more shot is to force you to go out with him again yeah I mean like I totally understand the nerves but it was like we were talking about his ex-wife and you know I'm completely understanding I know how it goes but like

essentially what he said was that she is watching over him all the time, which at first I thought was kind of sweet. And then he said that throughout the date he could feel her, like, aura or her spirit at the dinner table judging me. Judging you? Did he actually say the words judging you? Yes, he said the word judging me and it freaked me out like as if her spirit is

jealous or as in she's hoping things go well i took it as like she was like jealous like she was judging me like how dare thinking that i'm like you know some easy girl you know trying to pick up a dude you know maybe yeah maybe he said it wrong, and he meant to say, like, I feel like her presence is around me all the time, and she would want me to be doing this. Look, it's probably a weird thing to say either way. Of course. But I doubt he was saying, like, my wife who passed away

is sitting next to me right now, her spirit is, and it thinks you're a skank. Like, I doubt that's what he meant by that, Stacey. Well, regardless of any of it, it just really're a skank. Like, I doubt that's what he meant by that, Stacey. Well, regardless of any of it, it just really creeped me out. Did you say anything to him after he brought up the dead wife judging you? No, it was just weird. It was just really creepy.

And I think he just needs to take some time. Stacey, I hate to get weird on you too, but there is another presence that's listening to this phone call right now. What do you mean i mean that darren is actually on the phone and heard everything that you just said who's judging are you kidding me no i'm not hey look i'm i didn't i had no idea that you would like be listening to this they called me out of nowhere you know like I'm sorry I mean are you okay like are you really upset like I mean you know uh no it's I mean it's fine it's good I guess well I'm really sorry but I know that you were really nervous and like I you know I felt like I was as patient as i possibly could be but it's just kind

of weird you know it's weird to like go on a date with somebody and like have the person say that their dead wife is judging me you know it's like my uncle passed away last year and i can't just say like oh my uncle bob is you know judging you you have to understand how that would freak someone out well but it was a like, a good thing. Like, it was good that she was there and good that, like, she approved of you, you know? Like, she liked you, and I felt like if she likes you, then this is a good thing. That's kind of weird, okay? I just don't want to know what your ex-wife is thinking.

Well, can we do it again? And, like, we can go out again, and, I mean, I could leave her at home, you know? Could we do it again? And, like, we can go out again? And, I mean, I could leave her at home? You know, could we make it happen? Look, Darren, like, the whole spiritual thing, like, it just kind of freaked me out. Look, Stacey, you're really screwing the second date update up for me because I promised Darren that I would get him a second date with you. Will you go out with Darren one more time?

I will pay for a second date. No, I'm sorry. I appreciate it. I appreciate your time, but no. Okay, well, at least Darren learned a little bit of a lesson here. And, you know. Sure, sure. Next time you go out on a date, don't bring your dead wife's spirit.

Or just make her wait in the car or something. I guess so. I guess so. And I'm saying that because you know the promise i made you at the beginning of this was you were going to get a second date with somebody no matter who it is and i don't want you to be awkward when you and i go out yeah looks like i gotta pick out a nice evening dress don't i darren you better look nice john stewart is back at the Daily Show
