Is there any really, truly good reason why a married guy's not wearing his ring? That's what Megan wants to know.

Oh, yeah, because, you know, I met a listener and he stopped me and he said, me and my wife love the show. He was so nice. I have to give a shout out to his wife, Krista. Sorry, I was like, I'm going to remember. I promise I'm going to remember. Krista listens every single day and he's like, she's obsessed with you. She's always on your social medias, yada, yada, yada. And while he's talking, he talks a lot with his hands. And I noticed he's not wearing a wedding ring, but keeps talking about his wife over and over and over again. Now, but I had to ask him. I just couldn't hold it in any longer. And I go, if you have a wife, why are you not wearing a ring? And he said, you know, I work in construction and yada, yada, yada. I could not tell if this was a BS made up lie and if this is a major red flag or is there just jobs that you don't wear your ring at that it's okay? Because I know it's different for women. We get much prettier rings. I wouldn't want to not wear mine, but it seems weird to not wear yours on a construction site.

Yeah. And he seems like you said he's setting up for the downtown stuff. So he's doing the setup. I can't imagine that he's doing, like, it's not like he's hanging from ladders and things like that, is he? Right, he was building a stage. Oh, he was building a stage. Some of them out there are doing, like, jackhammer or some out there. Yeah. They're pulling concrete and a lot of stuff. Yeah. So, I mean, if you are working with your hands and it could get stuck somewhere, I could see that point. But are you trying to get him in trouble with Krista?

Yes. No I just thought it was weird To not wear A ring around It just seemed like a perfect opportunity To pretend like you didn't have a wife

If you're a radio guy And you're not wearing your ring Is there any reason why that should be We used to have a radio guy Midday guy that worked here that didn't wear

No he did In certain places And then he didn't in certain places

Sarah what's going on

Hey first thing caller

Hey, Sarah's on the phone. What's going on?

Yeah, so my husband is a fireman, and it's not safe for them to wear their wedding ring. So he doesn't, even on his day off, he just doesn't put it on because he's back and forth to work.

all the time, so my husband never wears

his wedding ring. By the way, what an occupation to not wear your wedding ring. They're hot and they're not wearing their wedding ring, right?

Absolutely. Did you ask him for the fine

print on that? I want to know if that's a true statement. He's just saying that.

No, none of the guys do. It's just not safe. God forbid it gets caught on something. They're going to lose a finger.

Well, thank you for him serving. We appreciate that. Thanks for what he does. Where's he a fireman? Hello to everybody at the firehouse there. What's going on, Alicia?

Hi. How are you guys doing today?

We're doing good. Megan's calling out the married guy without the ring. Is there a good reason to not have a ring?

Yeah. My husband's in construction, and he's been told, and I've seen lots of written things about the safety. You know, they're working with a lot of metal and sparks and things, and things can get caught and it's really dangerous so yeah he doesn't wear it and i'm a nurse and i don't wear it because one with the rubber gloves with you know the gloves the latex all that it can rip and all the diseases that i encounter i don't want to bring anything home to

my family boy that's an interesting thing i've never i never thought about that the nurses or hospital people that don't wear rings because you got to clean your hands so often right and the

gloves yep yep and jewelry i don't wear any jewelry at work because it's such a small amount of bacteria or any kind of pathogen and it can really you know travel uh you've heard thank you

for the call you've heard of tyler the creator well have you heard of tyler the plumber hi tyler hi what's up what's going on tyler do you wear a ring no i'm wearing plumbing so when we go to

solder um it's like you heat up the pipe and then that metal melts and it wraps around the plumbing while a buddy of mine that i used to work with he had some drip right on his finger and it wrapped right around his finger on his ring and it left the scar it burned ow not fun ow ow do plumbers

get hit on by uh by women well a little bit yeah that cracks i like that oh a little bit i like that where do you get hit on you get do you do residential plumbing or are you doing like industrial plumbing uh kind of both how big is your pipe that's what i want to know i went there before you went there mike i beat you to it i know i liked it oh god by the way i met a uh winner in our lobby picking up their prize the other day and they had their what i thought husband with them and it turned out that it wasn't it was her fiance but he was wearing an engagement ring which i thought was very interesting yeah he's a guy that was wearing an engagement ring it was his choice he wanted to do it logan what's going on how you doing

good what's happening do you wear a ring so no i'm just uh i'm 22 i'm just dating still uh but But I heard, it's crazy that the plumber came around. I was just going to say, would you want your husband really to wear something that's beautiful, it's delicate, it's probably costly, but you want to wear it on a job site or somewhere dirty where it can get messed up?

What about those rubber rings? I think those are kind of cool.

Those are cool. Those are cool. But yeah, I'm not a construction guy. If it is dangerous, that would suck. Also, some people just don't like wearing rings. I know my father has his ring tattooed on him because he doesn't like the feeling of the ring.

Yeah, that's a mistake. Why? Because. Kiss of death. That's a kiss of death. Any kind of tattoo like that. I'd be careful of that.

Yeah, I don't know. They've been together for 30 plus years now. That's right, Logan.

Are they still in love, do you think, after 30 plus years?

Some days.

Hey, Logan. Logan. How's his pipe? Yeah, right. Do you ever think, it's so funny, I was thinking about this the other day. I don't know why I was thinking about this. But I was thinking like my, to my kids, like, you know, Chelsea and I are like Logan's parents, right? Cause we've been married for such a long time. And I'm thinking that if I ever want to gross them out, all I sit there and do is like do sexual innuendo jokes. They get so worked up. Oh my God. Jacob actually said, this is the reason why I'm gay. Like he was like, this is just the idea of the thought of you and mom together. What's going on, Josh. Hey, how are you? Good. What's going on?

Not much. Just want to say a first time caller.

long time welcome to the club what's happening thanks man i just want to comment on that uh

wedding ring i work in corrections and uh a wedding ring on the finger is a good symbol to obviously a lot of people and especially dealing with inmates and uh whatnot it's just kind of unnecessary information you want them to

know type of oh so you don't want them to know that you have a family at home yes that is so

interesting makes sense though makes a lot of sense yeah terrifying yeah it avoids a lot of

questions and you know them getting to know you even more and lauren knows what they'll look up

on the outside when they get out can you tell if somebody is um trying to get information about you like if they you know ask you certain questions and stuff like that like do you ever wonder if

they're doing stuff like something like that uh yeah i mean i i me personally i'm have a lot of tattoos and one of them i have a sleeve a tattoo of with or my arm is a sleeve of my family uh so i get asked a lot of questions but uh you know i kind of just yeah avoid it and let them kind of think what they want to think i mean they even try to guess my first name because my name only my last name's on my uniform and uh i just i just let them keep guessing you know that's wild man i

get you got to think to yourself you don't and who knows i don't know what kind of you know people that you're uh you got there in your prison but any of them single for megan would you would you still date one uh from uh from a prison megan oh absolutely especially after watching unlocked on netflix i'm obsessed with inmates again uh what kind of inmate are you looking for are you looking for somebody that's done like i don't know like white collar crime or are you looking for somebody

that's like murder yeah no i'm looking for somebody with life without parole okay you know what i mean like i'll marry you but i never want to see you that's like a perfect husband right

Alexis?

Hi.

Hi.

Long-time listener, first-time caller. Man, we got a lot of first-timers.

Welcome.

Hi. I'd just like to say that my husband has commented this before, that he does wear his wedding ring to work, but he does get hit on often, and he said it's almost like an attraction for some women.

What kind of work does he do?

He is a physical therapist.

Wow, so he's adjusting people and stretching people and touching people and they start flirting with him, huh?

Yes.

Yeah, that's wild. Especially a lot of older women. Oh, really? That's flattering still. Who cares, right?

I was going to say, my sister's a PT and most of her patients are over the age of 80.

They're all 80-year-old people?
