Transcript

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.
