0:00 [Music] so maybe it's a a nice little conversation for the uh for the married men here who uh bought rings who bought rings who bought diamonds how was the diamond shopping for uh your ladies cakewalk cakewalk should i ever do well as a cakewalk you tell me everything well i already had paid attention over the years like what she liked and ████ the biggest thing was like making sure i had the size right because i forget ████ like that so i wrote it down oh yeah cause it's ████ like eight and a quarter dollars yeah yeah yeah but so i i went to the jeweler right and i i i had my family with me which was cool and i was like yo can you put that one with that one and they're like yeah we could do that so they like like like in terms of the diamond in the band yeah yeah you knew the design and awesome that she liked how did you why were you able to get that information
0:51 out that's the tough part over the years whenever we went into anywhere anytime we were in in any mall and she would look at any jewelry ████ i would just pay attention to that ████ and write down my phone little notes that's the tough part about being a dude where you need to be able to do your own clue scouring mm-hmm to hit them with the ████ you're gonna be a sleuth where they go uh yeah i mean yeah they gotta you want that yeah and it works yeah it works what did what kind of ring did you get them well i used a website called rare carrot which was really easy that sounds like a ████ brand deal right this is a brand new for what does it do you just upload a picture of tiff's face and they're like i don't know what she's like no no what did that that would have been cool no but i knew like steve i kind of knew what kind of cut she wanted and what kind of like band she wanted so that was the easy part but then it was finding the diamond
1:41 and then making sure it had all the qualities that you would want like it it's like there's so many ████ like different qualities that people pay like uh and get up charged for vs1 vs2 yeah and clarity clarity gray g great j like and it's all depends and no blood diamonds yeah nobody like a diamond this small could be more expensive than this one because of clarity these best yeah the clarity the size the way the light hits it and the way it like refracts and all that ████ but yeah it was easy for me i uh in the early part of our relationship knowing when i already knew in my mind i would do it like way early in the relationship before she thought i would i kept on joking about her i was like if you ████ know what you want you better give me a pdf of that info otherwise if i ████ up it's your fault that's what i do so i kept on i kept on
2:31 pressing this keep it romantic like one day she one day sends me a pdf of all the information i'm like ████ solid gold oh she's like she sends me a pdf i'm holding diamonds i'm sitting on this pdf for a while until the right time right do you renew that pdf every year so she stays up no no no no no but here's your interests are gonna change exactly i finally get the ring and literally i'm holding the ring for maybe like four months before the right time and within that four month period after like maybe i had the pf for like two years ago i'm traveling all the time so it wasn't like the appropriate time yet and then i get the ring i'm holding on to four months in between that time frame she finally goes i need to update this pdf no whoa ████ be crazy ████ are nuts dude so what did you do i ████ did not change the ring how much different was what it was barely well the thing is it was she still ████ loves it it's still like almost exactly well obviously i had to
3:22 add my own flair to you she wanted a slightly different shape oh god i'm going to change you're like i can't change the band i can't you know what i mean because you got the diamond yeah so she wanted to round her princess or what no so i ended up getting her pear shaped but then i think she ended up wanting uh something just slightly altered from that after um tear drop yeah it's too late it's too late whose fault is it then is it your fault for not updating it or her fault it's my fault wow you're a romantic man because i love you but regardless of that there is a man who's been praised i'm so glad i got my story up but keep going amanda's been praised for his genius test on his wife that shows that real diamonds are actually pointless we're going to watch this right what do you mean what do you mean pointless you just get cubic zirconium dude he's talking about how like how it's all it's all uh a big market that's suppressed right cubic zirconium is definitely good this is a tick tock right here uh that you can see where a man puts his wife to the
4:13 test on some diamond earrings where he gives her diamond earrings and he gives her cubic zirconium dude ████ can't ████ tell ████ packaging and he goes there he goes you get to choose which one you want one's real one's fake the one that you uh don't choose i'm gonna return dude i'd be sweating i did okay oh please please pick the cubic nobody can it's so hard so one of those are real and one of them oh my god [Music]
5:03 yeah she ████ up i don't even know what the difference is like like what that's that's the whole concept that's what i'm saying yeah like and that ████ is even hard to even spot like because on every diamond there's like a bar there's like a code that matches up with dude you know what you do if you guys give me a diamond and a cubic i can tell the difference what's the difference the shine you got to get it under a lot of light sunlight sunlight helps a lot and you got it and you got to put on like a white piece of paper too you know so you can see the difference than gundam you can do we should just give joe two cubics oh my god [Laughter] we have it we haven't kicked orders is this one every time oh but you know how you know how you can it's like you get the lowest ████ quality diamond that's hard as ████ to tell and then you get that but then if it's low lit and it's like the difference is two is that like let's say uh where uh ryan is and he's holding the two up and he's like shaking him that's
5:54 how you could tell like the distance the diamond will like sparkle like easier and and and usually the way that it's cut to like there's some good cubics out there man i don't know man there are but we're at the point where we're doing lab grown diamonds and ████ well lab girl diamond's actually different and they're expensive and if you are holding it it's gonna pick up your skin color that's why you need a white piece of paper you need ████ tweezers the amount it takes to discern one from the other is crazy yeah which is why like low-key i mean what's really the difference at the end of the day you know what i mean one has children hands that picked it out of a ████ yeah yeah it's like nike yeah right that's what you want yeah yeah i'm so ████ glad though that like um my girls are part of uh uh like just cost like brands designing
6:46 all that ████ because it's easy to uh it's uh yeah it's ████ ████ i do i do see those moments they they know the facade right so when you're outside want rubies or some ████ huh this is the welsh side with some rubies yeah i heard that too yeah no i mean like it's it's well when you're when you're behind the scenes and you get it all it's different i think but isn't there something to like the ability to like it's like knowing that if you took this to a pawn shop somebody's like yes i agree this is valuable versus like this is worth 35 dollars you know what i'm saying yeah yeah but but but right after you buy the diamond though it loses value like crazy new car yeah it's like it was like uh i think we did i think we did another article here a while back where there was a kid in school we had like a diamond tester machine or some ████ like that you know yeah and it's fake yeah
7:36 you started going around to all like the teachers in the school and then like oh it's real it's real but you'd find a teacher and be like oh this this isn't real and then you'd see them like sneaking behind the door recording and she's like calling her husband and ████ like that yelling funny well the concept of giving diamonds for like wedding and all that ████ is a new idea that's a ████ monopoly dude that whole industry is where did that start but isn't that genius the uh the diamond industry they they market it and said like you could look it up it's recent as in like you know within the past hundred years it's like humans weren't doing this you know yeah not at all and there's so many diamonds there's an abundance of diamonds in the world they're just like monopolizing like tires we talked about this right yeah same ████ but i think it's crazy because like you know think about like the pandemic and weddings in general so
8:26 many people because of the pandemic we're like oh dude we can't host a giant wedding so you know we'll just get married blah blah now they're not going to do giant ceremonies and i'm like you ████ just saved like 40 grand yo best decision of my life you know what i mean like that's yeah did that yep ████ i'm so jealous of my life dude how come you want to waste money no i'm just waiting for luna to pop up you know i mean if you got the money to spend and have a good time and have a really memorable night i think it's ████ sick yeah but most people aren't in the position to drop 50 grand in a day or even 20. if you start your marriage in a debt it's pretty tough it is and most people start life in the debt yeah because you're already gonna have your own like you know like trials tribulations in the marriage and now you add a financial stress to it it's like what's the tribulation i don't know they just put a total next trouser [Laughter] they're only together tribulation i feel
9:17 like it's like our generation and younger they're seeing what a ████ up situation it is to so you you leave college right and then like you have school debt and then you get your job but then you want to keep up because like you have scrutiny from society like oh what you have this nice job but you don't have the nice car in the ████ house so people get into debt there and then you wanna like oh well i'm gonna start my life and i gotta get a wedding so you ████ blow money on the wedding and even if at the cheapest what is like a more conservative price in la for a wedding like 20 20 20 yeah 20k dude so like you're starting life husband and wife in ████ hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt just so you can keep up with appearances ████ that ████ dude yeah i get it but for me it's it goes down the same thing like it's like if i
10:08 like people look at this and they go that is valuable like whereas and and for me like okay so look see this this little titanium ring i got yeah i was telling nikki i was like i'll buy one of these ████ things on amazon look at this ████ it's 26 dollars she gives a ████ we don't have to spend 400 on one and she's like no no i want you to get the 400 one because you won't lose it and i'm like that's so true because this is the same one that i had when i got married right and i do think about it like oh i don't want to lose it because it you know i mean because it's valuable because i had it from there but also because it was worth more i've definitely thought about it more and cherished it a little bit yeah yeah yeah i just think there's something to that i think yeah it also depends on where you place value and stuff yeah and then i think people can make their own symbolism and value like it doesn't have to be a dime like i guess the idea of the diamond thing it's people have to understand it it was a marketing ploy it's not a real tradition it's something
10:58 that the ████ love valentine's day too yeah they love that ████ yeah i love it but i but i think like things are changing like crazy though right like it's it's gonna change a little faster no because i had an expensive ring too right but then since like i work out and stuff i got this little rubber one but when i like really had a heart-to-heart with geo to understand like what the meaning because i didn't wear a wedding ring for like maybe the first like three years of our wedding um i didn't understand why i thought marriage was in the heart is my commitment to you your commitment to me but then when she told me what it meant to her i was like okay so now if i like it like let's have the training he's like so then other ████ don't look at you boy maybe but if i put off to the side like as soon as i'm done doing whatever i'm doing like it i know it means something to her so this ████ seven dollar amazon silicone ring like i i treat it as if as my other expensive one yeah yeah i think
11:49 it's just now up to the right well i didn't know that dude they have those this rubber one there's a you pay seven bucks and it comes with a pack of six of them if you lose one you just keep getting change the color yo genius gray i have black i have green and ████ and it's the most comfortable one hey gl this this is this is it's sweet dude it's so comfortable i don't even remember have it on i think it's kind of cool though like now people can just make up what they want like and it's it should be your own thing like between you and your you know lover yeah like why is it up to ████ society to pressure to sales sales ████ sales ████ that ████ sales ████ sales bro yeah it's easy i think we're good on that [Music]
12:58 you
