Oh No: Glenn Beck’s Wife Accidentally Flushes Her Wedding Ring Down the Toilet…Before Their Anniversary Celebration

Jan. 17, 2013 6:44pm Jason Howerton

In case you didn’t know, Glenn Beck and his wife, Tania, were set to start their anniversary celebration on Thursday. But after an unforeseen incident, those plans temporarily went down the drain — literally.

Thursday evening, Beck tweeted via his official Twitter account: “Just leaving for my anniversary and my wife tells me she ‘accidentally’ flushed her wedding ring down the toilet.”

He also noted how his “insurance guy may cry” when he finds out that the couple’s wedding ring is now floating somewhere in the Dallas-area sewage system.

Beck’s tweets from tonight really tell the whole story:

Just leaving for my anniversary and my wife tells me she “accidentally” flushed her wedding ring down the toilet.

— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) January 17, 2013

Currently digging up the ground and cutting pipes. Any advice?

— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) January 17, 2013

Hope we have honest workers at the sewage treatment plant…

— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) January 17, 2013

My insurance guy may cry.

Not like they can’t afford to buy another one! So why is this a big story??? People do work regular jobs you know! Many whom are having a rough time in just keeping afloat! As time goes It will be even harder to keep your job, let alone find any! It’s going to get rough soon, because when the taxes hit, Obama care hits and businesses fold, people will feel lucky just to put food on their tables! BTW… Notice food has been going up and up??? Now States are introducing marijuana into the equation, which will cause even more crimes! Homosexuality is rampant more than ever before and less people are going to church! You can bet things won’t get any better for a long time to come! Get ready America!

I haven’t been posting on the blaze because they seem to be having PROBLEMS .. I have been using the BLAZE since day 1 and it’s gotten BAD.. I just spent 3 minutes typing a response only to be told I have to sign in (which when I look at the upper right hand corner my sign in name appears as logged in).. than when I tried to copy my response in case it got deleted when I tried to sign in and when I went to highlight it it deleted itself without even highlighting,. IF this doesn’t get fixed soon I won’t bother with this site anymore.. NOT worth my time there are other sites that are easier to work since they have a thumbs up/down sign so you can agree without having to even leave a response..

  I think it’s happening to everyone. I’m getting the same thing.
  
  One post, then I have to hit the home page, circle around and back into the thread, for the “Reply” or “Submit” buttons to appear.
  
  Refreshing the page doesn’t do it.
  
  At least now they know about it. I didn’t say anything because my entire LIFE is full of engineered SNAFUs like that, so I figured it was just me.
  
  Again.

Why do we care about this? Seriously, is Glenn so full of himself that he now needs to even share private family crap on his own news network. That’s really sad as hell.

Your insurance guy is going to cry? I get the tongue in cheek humor. I also get the message that you are filthy rich (known as the double entendre.) No, being rich is not a bad thing until you keep rubbing people’s faces in it like with your “Family Christmas Special” and now this. Many people out there are struggling badly man, telling them your wedding ring is worth a fortune just makes them feel even smaller when everything they try for in this economy leaves them empty and desperate. Have SOME semblance of a heart at the very least, kid.

You want to flaunt your wealth… go right ahead man. It just makes you more of an overall target in the end. But that’s your skin, not mine.

“OH NO: GLENN BECK’S WIFE ACCIDENTALLY FLUSHES HER WEDDING RING DOWN THE TOILET…BEFORE THEIR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION”
“Accidentally”? Maybe she was trying to send you a signal. No, I kid, I kid–I know GB probably has an obscene enough amount of wealth from his miniature celebrity to replace it 20 times over, but I do honestly wish for them that they recover the original. You can’t put a price on sentimentality–that is what we call in economics “idiosyncratic value” (i.e. the value to a particular individual) and for the Becks the original wedding ring probably has immeasurable value in memories and sentimental fondness. So all politics aside, I DO hope they have some way to recover it–the love and devotion of another human is the only thing worth living for.

Hopefully the plumber has one of those super-long snake camera thingies.

  If they get a camera, he will find it! My husband is a plumber and as long as they haven’t used any water, they should be able to locate it. If they can’t, we are moving to Texas to show them how it’s done ;-)

Glenn and Tania sound like they’re having the same luck my husband and I have on our anniversaries. Our first, we lost the chains on our truck which then wrapped around our brake lines and severed them leaving us on an ice covered hill with no brakes or traction so we missed that anniversary. Our second our jeep had an electrical short and we were stuck and again missed our anniversary. Our third, we locked our only set of keys in our truck and had to pop the lock out to get in to get our keys, our fourth and fifth actually went smooth, and last years, my husband lost his wallet and we were stuck at dinner with no way to pay because our banks of course were closed by then (thankfully the manager took pitty and picked up our tab, we returned the next day with a thank you tip) we celebrate our 7th on Sunday and we’re hoping to have a boring evening.

  If she didn’t flush it has to be inside S-trap. If she did – still 90% chance it’s there still in S-Trap of toilet.

Have a plumber come in with a sewer camers. pull that toilet and you will find it.
Once he locates it he will know what you will need to open up to retrieve the ring.
Quit using any fixtures that flow down that pipe ASAP.

The only trap is the toilet. Your looking at it when you use it.
If the Toilet was on the second floor you need to find the stack that drains to the first floor.
Discontinue running water on that floor and call a professional plumber.
It is unlikely that it would make it out of the house on one flush.

I’m only a casual Beck observer these days. (It was quite a different story a two or three years ago.)

Even though I don’t pay that much attention, I somehow seem to have picked up on two other insurance-claim related situations that happened to Glenn in recent history.

First was something about a rare fishbowl being destroyed by a housekeeper, and the second had something to do with the SUV rolling into a lake. I don’t remember the exact details of either.

At what point does the insurance company become suspicious? Maybe they were insured by different companies?

  I am a regular listener so I can fill you in on the details that he mentioned on air. The car was a weekend rental and he bought rental insurance. Rainy weekend. Parked car on a muddy hill in front of rented cabin. Wife and children were barely were out of car when it slid down the hill in the mud, tumbling to the bottom. – He never mentioned if the collectible fish bowl was insured which he just won a day or two prior in a public auction. Company cleaning lady was overzealous and de-valued the bowl, poor thing. He never talked about an insurance claim. The details on the ring are still out. I’m tuning in tomorrow on TheBlazeTV at 9am to get the details.

Of course, there is NO RELATIONSHIP between Tania/Glenn talk over him losing weight this morning AND Glenn ending his show tonight rolling in a pile of M&Ms AND Tania’s ring being flushed down the toilet, all on the eve of their anniversary. No relationship at all :-) Happy Anniversary you Two!

Material items are replacable, even if it wrenches the gut to lose them sometimes. Thank God for Tania and don’ t be upset with her. Happy Anniversary!

PS: If it’s an comfort to you, my wife lost wedding band down the sink at church and we never did find it…… She was more angry at herself than I could ever have gotten.

Glenn, if you’ve got one of those government mandated low-flow toilets, her ring is probably still floating around in the bowl.
