00:00Commercial free new country 99.5 QIK. This is the second date update. We are trying to help out Rob this morning and we want to match him back up with Katie after their date.
00:10We'll see if we can make that happen. But Rob has not heard from Katie since their date. He has gone over this date in his head.
00:16He thought that they kind of both wanted the same things, but nothing since their date. So I don't know what's going on.
00:22Kevin was able to get her on hold. So let's just bring her on right now and see if we can get some answers from her.
00:27Katie, you there?
00:28Yeah, I'm here.
00:29Katie, thank you. I know this is kind of a taking apart out of your morning here and we apologize, but we just wanted to ask you straight up about this date with Rob.
00:38You just heard me kind of recap everything that we know. Is there anything that we're missing from this that may be a reason why you're not getting back to him?
00:46Yeah, I mean, he wears a ring.
00:48He wears a ring?
00:49He wears his old wedding ring as a necklace, like on a chain around his neck.
00:56He does?
00:56That is, like, not okay with me.
00:59That is kind of weird.
01:01So you obviously noticed that he was wearing a necklace with a ring on a chain and you just asked him straight up about this and he told you, hey, that's my old wedding ring?
01:09Of course. Like, I noticed there's a ring on a chain around his neck.
01:14I mean, it's pretty, like, ornate.
01:16And I was just like, hey, what's, you know, what's the story with that?
01:21And it's his wedding band.
01:23I'm like, what?
01:25So, like, I don't want to be with some dude that, like, is, like, literally I'm looking at him the whole time and I'm just reminded of, like, okay, like, his past.
01:34He has an ex-wife.
01:35He's got probably drama there.
01:37Why is he wearing it?
01:39Because that's ridiculous.
01:41There's got to be some reason he still wears it.
01:43I mean, that's what I thought.
01:44Like, I don't know.
01:45Like, the whole time we were talking, I was just ring staring at me.
01:49And I'm like, oh, my God.
01:50Like, ugh.
01:51Okay.
01:52And obviously this is what just kind of scared you off, Katie.
01:54You're just like, I'm not going to sit here and look at this.
01:57And that just kind of was weird to you, right?
01:59It's just a constant reminder of the past.
02:02And, like, I'm just trying to move forward.
02:04And, like, he's nice and all and, like, good looking.
02:07And, like, you know, you've got, like, most boxes would tick off.
02:10But then when I, like, thought about it more and more, I'm just like, man, like, I just, like, that's weird.
02:15Like, take that off.
02:16Like, what?
02:18I totally get it.
02:19I wouldn't want to date a guy who was wearing his wedding ring.
02:23Well, let's figure out why he's doing this, Katie.
02:25We actually have Rob with us as well.
02:28And that's how we got your phone number today.
02:30I'd love just to ask him if you're cool with us talking to him.
02:33Do you mind?
02:34Whatever.
02:35Yeah.
02:36Okay.
02:36Rob?
02:37Yeah.
02:37Well, okay.
02:38So, I'm confused because I'm not wearing the ring.
02:41Like, on my finger, like, I'm still married, obviously.
02:44It's around my neck.
02:46Like, so, I'm not, like, pretending like I'm still married or anything like that.
02:50And you're thinking of it as my wedding ring from my marriage from my wife that didn't work out.
02:57Of course, yeah.
02:59No, it's a family heirloom.
03:01It's my grandfather's ring.
03:03Okay?
03:03He used it, and he wore it his entire life, married to my grandmother, obviously, then my parents, and now me.
03:10So, the ring is my ring.
03:11It's not my ex-wife's ring.
03:13The ring is my ring that belonged to my grandfather.
03:17And that man basically raised me.
03:21That man was my idol and my hero.
03:23And it reminds me of him.
03:24So, I'm not thinking of my ex-wife when I put that shit, you know, like, when I have it on.
03:30I'm thinking of my grandfather.
03:32But you used it, though.
03:33But it was the symbol of your marriage.
03:35Your marriage.
03:36You wore it as your wedding ring.
03:38Like, you have to understand where I'm coming from.
03:40Like, that's sentimental for more than one reason, apparently.
03:44Like, I mean, I see it as, I mean, you told me, like, that was your wedding ring.
03:49That's the first thing that came out of your mouth.
03:52Right, okay.
03:52But, I mean, I guess I don't view it as that.
03:55Like, in that ring's lifetime, it was only my wedding ring for, like, a very short amount of time.
04:00It was my grandfather's wedding ring for a long time.
04:02Then my father's.
04:03And now it was mine briefly.
04:05And it will be again.
04:07That's going to be the ring that I wear when I get married again.
04:10Oh.
04:11Oh, God.
04:12Wait, you're going to use the same ring when you get married again as your last ring?
04:18Yeah.
04:19It's darn near 100 years old.
04:21Like, it's just generations of men in my family have worn it.
04:24And if I have a son, I'll give it to him.
04:26Wow, this ring is really, means a lot to you.
04:29I mean, I understand it being passed down and all that.
04:33But, you know, it was a wedding ring at one point.
04:36It's going to be again.
04:38And, Rob, so this is something you wear around your neck every day?
04:41I never take it off.
04:43Okay.
04:43Katie, you did say he was a good-looking guy and he was nice and all.
04:46I mean, would you be willing to give him another shot?
04:49I mean, it sounds like this has, like, a lot of strong meaning to him and not really about his ex, but about his family.
04:55Yeah, it's more about that.
04:57Like, I feel like it was like I was looking at him and looking at the ring.
05:01So, like, I mean, it's...
05:03I don't know.
05:04Would that bug you?
05:04It doesn't take it off.
05:06I don't know.
05:07I don't know.
05:08Like, it's just for me, it was a constant reminder of, like, his marriage and past and, like, I don't know.
05:15So is that a no from you?
05:17I'm going to pass right now.
05:19Okay.
05:19It's just not lining up for me.
05:21Oh, man, that's tough.
05:23All right.
05:23Well, Rob, you now know what's going on, and I respect the fact that you show so much respect to your grandfather and your dad and all that.
05:32So it's just not going to be for Katie.
05:35I apologize for that, and I wish you the best of luck.
05:38And, Katie, thanks for coming on today as well.
05:41No, thanks for coming, y'all.
05:42Sorry it didn't work out.
05:44Yeah.
05:44Hmm.
05:45I don't know.
05:45It was the other way around, and she was wearing her ring around her neck and just said, oh, yeah, it's a family heirloom.
05:52I may have a problem with it, too.
05:53I mean, I understand keeping it and in a box, but he also said he's going to be using it again if he gets married again.
05:58You're not going out with a girl who's wearing a ring from her past marriage.
06:03I just said that.
06:04Yeah, yeah.
06:05But I got to be honest with you.
06:06I don't know if I could either.
06:08That would bother me.
06:10And then to know that that's the ring he wants to use the next time he gets married.
06:14Uh-uh.
06:15You don't do that.
06:16All right.
06:16Let's see if this would have been a deal breaker for you, or are you going to look past this?
