Chris is on the hotline and Julie's on the warm line. Hey, how are you guys? No complaints other than missing something. Yeah, we got to know the history of how this all happened before we even get into where the the diamond is. This is a family heirloom. It was, I think Chris's great grandmother's ring. It's from the 1800s, which is why I am just so upset about this because that's something

2:02that I was looking at handing down to my kids and having them hand down to their children. And it's not a situation where you kind of jimmyed at least in hopes of getting something a little newer and more trendy. No, not at all. At that point, you're just jogging and it pops out? We went for a 13 mile run. Okay, so we covered all of it. I hope you are not to do that again. Maybe that's a lesson to be learned from this. But we went for a 13 mile run and had it happen anywhere in the middle of run, we would have at least known the vicinity that it was in, but it wasn't until the very end of the run and we were stretching that Chris noticed that it was gone. What happens when you notice that, like? It's like looking at your wife and her front two fell out. So who notices at Chris, you notice that? Yeah, as we were stretching, I looked down and I was like, holy cow.

3:04That is not good. And I was like, Julie, you're ring. And then at that point, it's like, okay, now where do we start looking? I mean, the good part about it is even though it was 13 miles, it was an out and back. And we did do a couple loops along the column's drive area. I sent you the actual map to the area that we covered. But still, it's a diamond literally in the rough, you know? Now, you said that, I mean, there's sentimental value at this thing also. So are you on here saying, look, go ahead and take the ring. I mean, if you find it, it's yours. Are you saying we'll give you $17,000 if you find it for us? I personally, I would love to have that diamond back. So you would buy the ring back? You would buy the stone back from somebody who found it. I think I would like to do that. Yes. This sounds like, because like I said, this is from the 1800s that it's been in Chris's family. I just don't know if you can really put any value on that.

4:05Sounds like we're not on the same page yet. Chris's family though. Yeah, Chris, where are you with all that? It's a lot of money. I mean, we got the insurance check. And so, my first inclination was like, cubic, they're corny, you know? Like, let's replace this thing. Like, let me pocket the $17,000 grand, and then we'll just throw something that looks like a diamond in there. But obviously, you know, we're not going to do that. My brother was like, dude, Chris, pocket the money. Pay off your debt. Go on vacation. Okay, so if you're the person lucky enough, really, to win the golden ticket out of the Wonka Bar here, you can do anything. I mean, you could keep the ring for yourself, the diamond for yourself, or you can get in touch with Jeff, and then maybe you can have some negotiations going on. But that's a decision that you can make if you find the ring. So, really, what we got to do is get out what's important here, and that four-mile stretch you're talking about, give us solid details on exactly where that is.

5:06It was at the Chauhu Chi River Trail off of Interstate North Parkway, and it's the trail that connects with columns drive. It's a 3.1-mile loop, and then it attaches or connects to columns drive, which is about a two-mile, two-and-a-half-mile stretch. You guys ran 13 miles, so you did that loop a couple times. Yes, so that's the good thing. There's already a lot of athletes along this route. It's slow there, a pace down today. I was going to say, so when people are driving up and down columns drive, and they see like three times the amount of athletes, and some that probably don't look like they've been athletic a day in their life, they don't wonder what's going on. You know what would be so ingest about this whole thing, because if you jog or you drive down that road, it's the most massive homes, if it's the road that I think it is. It's the most massive, beautiful homes that you can see in Atlanta. I call it Motivation Row, when you drive down there, and you see all those houses, wouldn't it be unjust if somebody in one of those houses

6:07just happened to be taking a stroll one day, and already has all that cash? Finds the diamond. Was that shiny thing in the front yard? All right, so let's be very clear on exactly where this is. One more time, you guys. It was the Chattahoochi Park right off of Interstate Parkway. There's a park on both sides of the Chattahoochi, but it's the one that connects with columns drive. And that's considered Marietta. Yes. All right, and what Jeff has done is he's actually put a map up online right now, and it's there for you guys to check out. So if it's unclear to you exactly where it is, just go to q100Atlanta.com and you'll see it right there. He brought up the fact that it has been raining a whole lot too, so it may make it easier. Maybe it can easier. It may make it harder for us. Yeah. Good morning, Q100. What side of the trail were you guys running on, man? And on columns drive? We were on both sides, because we ran down on one side, and it's back on the other. OK. So that's a very large trail to be canned in both sides to look for. Yeah, it's not going to be easy. It's not going to be easy. It's not going to be easy.

7:08I mean, if it was easy to find them, it would've done that already. Right. Yeah. Morning, Q100. Hey, how many carrots is the diamond? Just under two carrots. I mean, if you look at the diamond itself, like you're not going to be like, oh my gosh, I think it's huge. It's just the cut is a Christian cut, so it's very short and very fat. We'll have pictures. We have a before and after picture, and I have to tell you, it's been so heartbreaking. The after picture, seeing the ring on our hand with the big hole in the middle, is a little bit. Here, I'll pull it up now. Is it a little, it's a little got wrenching. It's like, oh, do you wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it? Well, I have a little tiny ring on that finger right now, and there are several times during the day that I'm just like, I panic because I'm like, oh my gosh, where's my ring? And then I realize what happened to it. And it's like a cycle that I go through several times a day.

8:09Jen's looking at the picture online right now. Oh, with the ring. It's just a little bit in the middle of it. It's a point that just got knocked out of me. Sam! All right, so that's actually what she felt. She felt wind on her finger. She's like, I'm not supposed to feel that right here. What's going on? All right, so that ring is still out there, and we've got a map to sort of its whereabouts. And you could see the ring, the diamond, and the diamond-less ring. And if you find it, you got a couple of things you can do with it, either you could take the cash yourself, or you can get in touch with Jeff and Jeff will get in touch with his friends, and maybe you guys can negotiate. They're gonna swap it. The people that live in those mansions that are driving out today and see all these people just stopping and looking around and looking down. All right. All right. Because you know those people aren't listening to this show. You know what happens? What happens is people will call the police on the people that are sitting there just loitering around Colin's drive today. Should I mean it's a classical station right now? Seriously, if you, if it's a situation where you take your dog out for a walk every day, head over there. What do you have to lose?

9:10Take that, if you're gonna spend an hour walking a dog, make 17 grand, maybe. Too bad you can have a sniffing dog like sniff that setting. Sniffing diamonds. No, sniff her setting. Yeah. And see if they can, if there's not a same sin on that dime. Look, Melissa, what's 17 grand? That's right. You can all see a sign. That's right. You're gonna be doing that with Katie Goesdom. Oh, man. No, man. She'll get distracted by burden right away. All right, you guys. Thanks a lot for joining us. And with that, I'd like it all the first in the final is it will call you guys and somehow some way they'll negotiate and you'll get that ring back. All right. Thanks for your help. Good luck.
