00:00All right, well, Ken has reached out to us.
00:01He is super confused right now why he has not heard back from Renee after just kind of a happy hour date.
00:08Yeah, they went to Jack Willey's.
00:09He said they both have kids.
00:12They're both a little bit older.
00:14He said she was well-established, and they kind of liked where they were in their lives.
00:17And so he felt good about going out, and they had talked about going out on another date,
00:23but he has not heard from her now that he has been trying to reach her.
00:27All right, we have Renee on hold right now.
00:30We're going to bring her back on.
00:32Renee, are you there?
00:33Hey, yeah.
00:34Hey, listen, I know this is super confusing, and I know you talked to Kevin off the air.
00:39We just want to ask you a couple questions about this date you went on with a guy named Ken.
00:45Okay.
00:45Is it okay if we talk to you real quick on the air?
00:48I mean, I don't really know what else there is to say, but yeah.
00:53Well, here's what we know.
00:54He said that you guys had a really good date, did a little happy hour drinks, appetizers
00:58over at Jack Willie's, and said that you guys kind of really shared a lot, and you had a
01:03lot to talk about, and he really felt that there was a connection there.
01:06Even when he dropped you off, he said that you guys talked about going out on another date.
01:11So did something happen since that date that you can tell us about?
01:15Look, he seems like a great guy.
01:21I had a good time when we were at the happy hour spot, but he's got a lot of stuff going
01:25on, and I don't need to get involved in any of that.
01:30He's got a lot of stuff going on?
01:31Is that what you said?
01:32Well, he's got an ex-wife, and he's got a child, and it seems like that stuff is messy.
01:38But you have kids too, right?
01:40I do have a child, yes.
01:41Okay.
01:43What's the problem with him having a kid then?
01:45I don't have a problem with him having a kid.
01:47I have a problem with the amount of time and the manner with which he seems to be kind
01:53of...
01:54All right, fine.
01:56So we go on this date.
01:57It goes great.
01:58He seems awesome.
01:59And on the way home, he's like, hey, I have to take this call, which is, you know, cool.
02:05And he pulls the car over, hops out, and for 20 minutes kind of paces around the car talking
02:11on the phone.
02:12And I'm just sitting there being like, oh, like, what, you know, what's going on?
02:17Like, this is kind of weird.
02:18I'm just, like, sitting in this guy's car, and then he gets back in, and I'm a little
02:23pissed because I'm just sitting there.
02:25Yeah.
02:25And he's like, you know, it was my ex-wife.
02:27We had to talk about my son.
02:29And immediately, I feel terrible because I was like, all right, I get that.
02:32Saying that he had, his son was having, you know, some issues at school, and his ex-wife
02:37wanted to catch him up on something because apparently there was a parent-teacher conference
02:41that night, and he didn't go.
02:44Oh.
02:44Like, his ex-wife went, and then she just, like, was catching him up.
02:48And I was just like, you know what?
02:50I'm not trying to come out hot against how anybody parents.
02:52I get it.
02:53I am co-parenting with my former spouse, too.
02:57But, like, I don't need to get involved in, like, I don't go to this.
03:01I do go to that.
03:02We can't speak.
03:03We can.
03:04We this.
03:04We that.
03:05It's just like, you know, I just, and I kind of, you know, gently was talking about
03:09it because we had both mentioned that we're both divorced at a happy hour, but we didn't
03:14really get into it because, you know, yuck.
03:16But then he, like, you know, I'm kind of pressing him a little bit to be like, okay, so, like,
03:20what's going on with your son?
03:21How is that relationship going?
03:23You know, this, that, the other.
03:24And they're basically trying to be like, why didn't you go to this parent-teacher conference?
03:30And he's just like, this is my only night to go out.
03:33Oh, wow.
03:34And I wanted to go out with you.
03:35I didn't want to be with my ex-wife, blah, blah, blah.
03:37And it's just like, there's still too much, like, emotion, and there's still too much.
03:41Everything just felt really loaded and weird.
03:43And I was just like, you know, I don't know that we have the same priorities.
03:47I'm not fine, but then I'm out.
03:49Renee, here's the deal.
03:50We have Ken on the other line.
03:51I want to bring him back on because he's the one that reached out.
03:53That's how he got your number.
03:54You just heard everything you've had to say about dating.
03:58Hey, Ken, you there?
04:01Yes, I am.
04:01Hey, so, does that sound accurate?
04:04I mean, you missed out on maybe a parent-teacher conference because of your date?
04:08Listen, yes, yes.
04:10Look, I have my two weeks.
04:13She has her two weeks, okay?
04:15This was her two weeks.
04:17Every month.
04:18I always give up at least one of my weeks to go and do stuff because she can't make it.
04:25And this wasn't going to be one of those times.
04:27I have to have time for myself.
04:29All right, so this time it happened to be pretty bad.
04:31The kid gets suspended.
04:33So, whatever.
04:34When she called me, I told her, listen, you know, sit in the car, get on your phone, play.
04:40I just need to talk to my wife for a minute.
04:42So, I talked to her for a minute.
04:44Ex-wife, by the way.
04:45Not a big deal.
04:46Yeah, there's a lot.
04:47See, like, there's a lot going on with this.
04:48I, yeah.
04:49No, no thank you.
04:51Well, Ken, let me ask you a question.
04:52Do you think you could have taken that phone call somewhere else?
04:56Well, I mean, she called twice.
04:58So, it seemed important.
05:00Well, it's about your son.
05:01I'm like, yeah.
05:02You knew she was coming to go meet with the school, so.
05:05I know, I know.
05:06And so, I was worried about my child.
05:08I really think you're making too much of this.
05:11Well, you're in the middle of a date.
05:12You're taking a call from your ex-wife.
05:14However, it is about your son.
05:15You're not at a parent-teacher conference.
05:18Well, I told you.
05:19It was her two weeks.
05:20This was her time.
05:22I've got to have a life.
05:23I have to move forward.
05:25How am I ever going to meet someone if I can't move forward?
05:29Yeah.
05:30It's not with me, dude.
05:31So, whoever you get, it's amazing.
05:33Okay.
05:34All right.
05:34Whatever.
05:35Yeah.
05:35Call me a bad...
05:35Okay.
05:36Sure.
05:36I'm bad.
05:36I'm a bad dad.
05:38Didn't say that.
05:38Go ahead.
05:39I'm just getting it from everybody, I guess.
05:41Well, no, man.
05:41I'm not trying to pass any judgment.
05:43We were just trying to get to the bottom of this.
05:44And Renee expressed what bothered her about the date.
05:47You asked us to get a hold of Renee.
05:49So, that's what we were just trying to do.
05:50Yeah.
05:51It doesn't seem like I can win.
05:52It seems like I'm getting blamed from both sides.
05:54I'm just trying to make this work.
05:56That's all.
05:57All right.
05:57Well, Renee, I'll ask you the question, even though I think I know the answer.
06:00I mean, is this going to be a deal breaker for you?
06:03I'm not going out with him again.
06:04Okay.
06:05Well, Ken, at least you got an answer on that.
06:07Great.
06:08All right.
06:09That's great.
06:10Well, I wish you luck, Ken.
06:11Renee, thanks for your time.
06:12You guys have a great day.
06:14Yeah.
06:15Oh.
06:17Renee ain't joking.
06:18There's a lot going on in that guy's life.
06:2120 minutes is a significant amount of time.
06:24I know it's your kid, but man, can't you cut that down just a little bit on a first date?
06:29That's excessive time.
06:31But he goes, it was her two weeks.
06:33And it's like, well, but it's your kid.
06:35That's right.
06:36Full-time parent, right?
06:36I think I was kind of feeling bad for Ken a little bit because I think he's just trying
06:40to do, but then he was like, it was her weeks.
06:42And I'm like, yeah, but when it comes to your kid, you don't, everybody's weeks or days are
06:47off the table.
06:48That's your kid.
06:49You got to show up.
06:50You know, it doesn't matter if it's your time to have the kids or her time to have the kids.
06:54I don't.
06:55A lot of parents in the QYK family.
06:56Can't wait to hear from them right now.
06:58800-992-1099.
07:00800-992-1099.
07:02Hit us up right now.
