  Speaker 2: Coming up eight ten this morning, we have your Lady
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: God Got tickets. She's coming to the garden very very soon.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: But you gotta be called twenty five and you need

  Speaker 2: to know the Lady Gaga Monster mash up, so we'll

• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and be called twenty five. You can win the tickets. Now.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not a cash guy. I'm a Venmo guy. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: typically do not carry cash, and I'm not alone here.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Gen Zers hay cash right, Lise.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Over half of gen Zer say that they find cash
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to be cringe. They're obsessed with tech apps like cash App,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Apple Pay, Venmo. They'd much rather use those apps because
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: they actually say that they are able to save more
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: money than when I have cash in their pocket. Because
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: when you know when you have cash in your pocket,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you spend it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I kind of believe that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I do carry cash, but I believe that because the
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: more cash you carry, or at least the more cash
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I carry, the faster I spend it. You're just throwing
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: it every Yeah, I'm not a problem.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I got this. Yeah, it's girl Math.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: So I still use cash because girl Math tells me
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: that if I pay with cash, it's free.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I get that. Listen. I'm not against cash. I don't
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: use it that much. I'm not a gen zer. I'm
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a millennial. But for me, it's just easier. It's easier
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to use Venmo and Apple Pay. It's more simple. And
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: when I go and I pay with cash and they
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: give you change, you know, dollar bills and stuff, it's fine.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: But then I have to carry it all and you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: my wallet it's like a you know, it has a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: money clip. Yeah, and it gets all jumped. It's just
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: easier to me. But I do get that it helps you,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: helps them save money. I do understand that. And I
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: always like getting Bill money when Billy gives me cash,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: because Bill does cash.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Well, what are you going to do if I stop
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: carrying cash? I mean, I'm cringe right now. What else
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: am I on.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: But you do have Venmo? I have? Yeah, you do
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: have Venmo. Yeah, I have used Venmo a bunch of times.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I do want to say that I have Venmo and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I use it a lot, and I feel like I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: actually spend more using the app I do because.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It's so easy to send no.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And plus it's like it's not real, like I feel
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: like when I use cash, it's real for me.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: It's physically coming out of your pocket exactly.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So I literally had this the opposite like situation.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It does seem like funny money. It does. You can't
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: see it. I get that too. You can see the cash.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I tip more on Venmo.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's digital money. It's you don't feel it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know when you're taking it out of your
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: pocket and watching it disappear into.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Someone else's hand.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say, you know, I don't Venmo a lot,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: but I have been hacked the result of the involve
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: and that's the only time I've been hacked.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Venmo got hacked. Yeah, did you get the money back? No? Really? Yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I mean that's what I mean.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Digital is great and I love it, but the more digital,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the more risk. I mean, you know, every day you're
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: finding more and more risk related to the online digital everything.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Watch out for your account numbers, everything, there is a
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: risk involved. I do agree with that. I like Venmo.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I like looking do you do this, Lisa.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: On your Venmo looking what other people are sending or
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you know who are sending it to. You can see
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: who your friends are sending to, not how much.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can, but you can also make that private.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Oh you can, oh, wide open yep. I write like
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you know, when I send my wife money, I write
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: like funny things. I can see how other people are
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: sending like my friends. Yeah, so I'll text them and
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I go, oh, oh, I did you send them money
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: for just a funny thing.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I find that to be weird that that level of
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like information is available, like how much money you're paying people?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you can't see how much, you can only
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: see that they sent.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: The bottom line is when I got hacked, I changed
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: my Venmo account. Now my Venmo account now is my
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: wife Michelle's Venmo account.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Oh then it's fun then it's free money. Yeah, it's funny.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: It's so funny.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: You say that because a few times that I've done
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and I'm saying, boy, this isn't even coming out of
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: my account.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the money I know. And of course
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: then I get the eye roll from Michelle when I
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: get home. Yeah, but in general, I feel like cash
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: is not used as much these days. It's not a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: lot of my friends don't have cash. My wife never
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: has cash.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I just you have cash on you right now?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I know nothing, no cash at all, no bill how
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: about you?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Just I have no. I have no cash, like nothing,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I never when. The only time I get cash, honestly
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: is if you like a Christmas or something for me
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: some cash or and I go right to the bank
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and put it in. I do not carry it, so
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I see, I see what's going on here.
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: Good morning guys.
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: So I am a like debit credit type of person,
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: but I'm also a bartender part time, so I always
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: have cash. But what I've been doing recently is taking
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: all the cash that I get, putting it into a
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: new bank account, not touching it, just using that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Oh that's smart, that's it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I do notice, like whenever you're doing a convenience store
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: or something, and if I have, you know, get a
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: couple of items and I go to pay cash, and
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: they look at you weird.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Well, there are some places now that just don't take
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: cash anymore either.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Right Fenway, Right, Fenway does not take cash. It's cash lists.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And also another thing that has to do with money too,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the penny. You see this story that pennies are rising
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: in value because they don't make them anymore, I hope.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: So I've got buckets of penny save them. You should
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: save them. If you go to McDonald's, they don't get pennies.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: They round up, I'll round down in some cases, which
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: is kind of an issue too, because businesses are actually
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: losing money, but they don't make the pennies because they
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: cost more to make than they will work.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: But here's the other side of the coin. Okay, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: this will probably come to an end. But no pun
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: intended a lot of not a lot. But there are
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: some restaurants that only take cash. And what bugs me
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: is they don't tell you in advance. This has happened
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: to be a few times in the last few months.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: There's no sign, no sign, they don't say anything on
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: their website and nothing at all about cash only. So
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: now you're sitting there, assuming you just drop your credit
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: card on the table and they say, oh, it's sorry,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: we only take cash.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: What how do we not know that?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Well, do they have an ATM?
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Like no, then you have to find the nearest ATM,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: leave your table and your friends and go get cash.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I love Alisa. I'm so glad you said that. I've
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: gone to places that don't take cash and when you
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: go to pay and they go, no cash, But there's
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: an ATM right there.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, then because they're making money.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Off of that too.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, they get a big they get a kick.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It's all. It's all part of the scam.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: From the Planet Fitness, Kiss One Await Studios. We're back
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: with Villy and Lisa.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: In the mar What if guys justin here Billy and
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Lisa's show a Thursday morning. Don't forget eight ten this morning.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: We do have your lady God got tickets. There is
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: a twist though, You're gonna have to be a big
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: lady gagat fan to win these b called twenty five
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: at eight ten you can shoot your shot. So a
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: couple of minutes ago, we were talking about cash and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: is it cringe or not. Gen Z hates cash. They
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: think it's cringe. They don't use it. I'm not a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: cash guy and myself. I'm all Venmo all the time.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: So go to line too, Ashley, I.
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: Wanted to say that for Venmo. For me, I'm in
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: my twenties.
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: I use Venmo for like everything, never carry cash. My dad,
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: on the other hand, solely carries cash.
• 7:36
  Speaker 11: And like I've never even seen him, like he's Venmo
• 7:39
  Speaker 11: in his life.
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: And to me, using cash, I'll use it as speak money.
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: I'll buy a scratch to get whatever.
• 7:43
  Speaker 11: But Venmo, I'm like budgeting, I'm knowing what I'm using
• 7:45
  Speaker 11: that money for.
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: So that's my take.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. If you're buying a Powerballer Mega millions,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: you gotta pay cash. Yes, she did, right, But then again,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: the convenience store will have an ATM like right to
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: your right or left.
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: They always death I don't want to say the feet.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Oh god, it okay. I buy my tickets on that
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: app a right see a jack pocket. Yeah, they have
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the fee. There was a hassle. Yeah, there is a fee. Yeah,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: but it's more convenient. I don't have to go to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the store. I can do it from my house. Yeah.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: My wife Michelle does it online if she buys Powerballer
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Mega millions. Both by the way are over the top
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: right now. One is over seven hundred million, the others
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: over eight hundred and who's up next? We got Ashley
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: and Taunton. Ashley, what's up?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 8:30
  Speaker 11: So you guys were talking about the penny shortage thing
• 8:33
  Speaker 11: and I'm a commercial manager for an auto parts store
• 8:36
  Speaker 11: and we went to go get you know, changed from
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: the bank and they were like, oh, no, we have nothing,
• 8:41
  Speaker 11: no pennies for you. You're going to have to figure
• 8:43
  Speaker 11: something out. So then I sent an email out saying, hey,
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: what are we doing with this? And they're like, well,
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: we're going to have to round. If it's eight or nine,
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: you go up. If it's you know, six or seven,
• 8:53
  Speaker 11: ha ha ha, you round down.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: So as a business, you need the pennies to issue,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: can't change right right.
• 9:00
  Speaker 11: So now we have this, you know, little paper sign
• 9:03
  Speaker 11: on the door saying please come in, you know, with
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: the exact change because we don't have anything.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe we can do a deal because I have
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: an entire Belmont Springs giant bottle full of pennies.
• 9:14
  Speaker 11: You come right on it. I'm sure they'll be very happy.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Actually, just take them off my hands, you can have them.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying thank you for the call pennies. That's
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: a big story justin.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: You know, it really is. Yeah, I saw a whole
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: story on it. You should save your pennies. They could
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: be worth money in the future. Wow. So do you
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: have pennies at home?
• 9:30
  Speaker 12: Bill?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Tons of pennies. Yeah, hold on to them. They're not
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: making them anymore, like the dollar bill. I have two
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: dollar bills at home. I need to I have a
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: couple yea yeah, yeah. Who are the people are going
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to buy pennies? Well, coin collectors, people that you know
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: by You never know.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You could be sitting on some rare penny.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I could have a fortune in that plastic bottle if
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: you actually go by the dates and look it up online.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: But the penny was made, they could be worth some money.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Oh wow. Yeah, I'm just saying what.
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: You guys just said about the Venmo transactions and watching
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: what your friends had was so funny.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I left out loud.
• 10:06
  Speaker 13: My mom she doesn't really use a lot of social
• 10:08
  Speaker 13: media and stuff, but once in a while she'll call
• 10:10
  Speaker 13: me and just be like, oh, did you see your
• 10:13
  Speaker 13: friend Sarah from high school was sending money to this
• 10:15
  Speaker 13: other girl that we know, you know from high school.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Wonder what they were doing. I didn't know they were
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: still friends, and it's so weird.
• 10:21
  Speaker 13: She's like stalking people on venmo.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: It's pretty funny.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: It crashed me up.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. It's one of my favorite things to do.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And so when I send my wife money, I always
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: leave a funny comment or emoji. So I'll leave like
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: an eggplant or a peach emoji. God, so you know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: it could be my new pastime to track people on
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: venmo see what they're up to. Well, then my friends
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: will message me. They'll see it because they're scrolling too.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: They're scrolling the venmo too, and they'll be like, oh,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: that's interesting an eggplant emoji? You know, why'd you send
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: her money for? You know, it's fun. I'm telling you.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: I love to scroll Venmo.
• 10:54
  Speaker 14: It's so funny to see.
• 10:55
  Speaker 15: What like husband and wife were paying each other for.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: And also it's just like another one of my social
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: medias that I scrolled.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: It really is like a social media Okay, it's gonna
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: even my new hobby bill. You should do it. Yeah,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: come in with stories every morning. Yeah, hey wait, wait
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: to hear what happened on venmo yesterday? Oh why is
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: he sending HER's going on there? Sheap prick. I love cash,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: And the reason I love cash is because of girl math.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: If I have cash and I use.
• 11:25
  Speaker 16: It to go buy a cup of coffee or a
• 11:27
  Speaker 16: nice shirt, that shirt or.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Coffee is basically free.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Because it's not being taken out of my account.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So I'm team cash. Is so true. It's like you
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: just don't think about it. Yeah, I actually have like
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: magic money.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I have one hundred and twenty dollars in cash at
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: my house that was given to me like a week ago.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: It's in my cabinet and I'm gonna I'm gonna use
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: it this weekend. It is like free money. Yeah, even
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: though I lent it to somebody digitally, they gave it
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: back to me in cash. It's like, you know, free money. Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I go for that all the time because if I
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: pay cash for something, it doesn't appear in your accounts, right,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: you know, so there's no information available and it's just gone.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: It's free money.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Venmo feels like free money.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: It's just money that's sitting in an account.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: That you kind of forget about here and there.
• 12:14
  Speaker 10: But I mean that's how I get all my free
• 12:17
  Speaker 10: Starbucks girl.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Mas see everyone's on board. You know, it's cringe taxes.
• 12:25
  Speaker 15: The last thing I want to do is a job
• 12:27
  Speaker 15: for someone and have them send me a Venmo to
• 12:32
  Speaker 15: create a paper trail to pay more taxes.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Ye know, that's actually a good point too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: it does create a paper trail. Well, I got a.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Text from a friend of mine said the cash is

  Speaker 9: Cash is not king?
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: Listen.
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: I used to live down.
• 13:46
  Speaker 14: In Fort Myers, Florida for a couple of years, and
• 13:49
  Speaker 14: I was downtown.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: I got mugged.
• 13:51
  Speaker 11: They took all my cash. I had like two hundred
• 13:53
  Speaker 11: dollars in cash and I have yet to carry cash
• 13:56
  Speaker 11: in my purse again.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: You got mugged in Fort Myers, Florida.
• 14:02
  Speaker 14: I did, and I went to the cops and there
• 14:05
  Speaker 14: was no like video anywhere around, so literally nothing could
• 14:09
  Speaker 14: be done.
• 14:09
  Speaker 18: They got away with it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Did you suffer injuries?
• 14:13
  Speaker 18: No?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Literally, this I stay mugged.
• 14:16
  Speaker 14: I got pushed to the ground, that grabbed my bag
• 14:18
  Speaker 14: and ran.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: But I had to get a whole new license, I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: had to get a whole new credit card, all everything.
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: It sucks so bad.
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: So now I will not carry.
• 14:26

• 15:13
  Speaker 2: of people at the airports, and a big topic is
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: what to wear on an airplane because a lot of
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: people are wearing pajamas and some people aren't happy about it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: What do you think. Let's go to.
• 15:23
  Speaker 14: Chris, So I think on the on the flight there,

  Speaker 14: to wear whatever you want, but on the flight back,
• 15:30
  Speaker 14: wear your heaviest.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: Clothes so you can get the most souvenirs.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: To bring home.
• 15:35
  Speaker 14: So I'll have my happiest pajamas in my heaviest sweatshirt
• 15:39
  Speaker 14: or like a comfort pants.
• 15:41
  Speaker 18: Just at the heaviest thing.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Right to create space in your carry on if you
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: bought something exactly.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: It's actually a pretty good chip I did.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've done that too. So the heavy shot is
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: just like dress and layers.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, going down, it's all on the shuitcase. Coming back,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: you're wearing it. You have got more room in the shuitcase.

  Speaker 3: That line and here's the whole thing about the pajamas
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: on a plane at leisure Ware our pajamas, but they're okay, yes,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you know, they're just as comfortable as pajamas.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: But you're not wearing your pajamas. You want to be comfortable.
• 18:06
  Speaker 12: Good morning, morning crew. You have to be wearing something
• 18:09
  Speaker 12: comfortable when you're flying. There's one reason and one reason
• 18:13
  Speaker 12: only in case of an emergency, you have to get
• 18:17
  Speaker 12: out of the airplane. You don't want to be wearing
• 18:19
  Speaker 12: high heels. They don't want to be wearing a coat
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: that you can't move your arms. I always think that
• 18:24
  Speaker 12: something can happen and you have to get out of
• 18:27
  Speaker 12: there as fast as you can.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: So dress appropriate. Please, that's a stressful thought.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: When was the last time you saw high heels on
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: the plane?
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Well sometimes for business like women or whatever, but you
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: don't see it very often. But like that other the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: previous colors said, they're like, there's at leisure you know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: at every price point. Yeah, and that high end h Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Target has great you know, joggers and stuff like that.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: So yeah, any outlet has it. You can guarantee I'm
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: wearing the VR when I go on vacation in a
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks on the plane with that for sure, when.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: The airline stopped treating us like cattle and Nickolan diving
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: us for every little thing from nuts.
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: To if we get three inches of extra redroom left
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: and maybe I'll consider putting some pants on.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Actually, she just made a lot of sense. The airlines
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: have to knock it off, start taking an inch by.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Inch from the language.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: True.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: So tight, yeah, so tight. It's almost like being imprisoned.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not tall and it's tight for me.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Like I'm like, I was sitting on the plane Yester
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. I was like, Ah, this is just this
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: is so tight.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: It feels like it gets smaller and smaller. Yeah, every time,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: every time you go on a plane.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: And you know what makes it worse when the person
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: behind you wants you to not recline.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I'm like, are you kidding me? I know we've talked
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: about this. Billy reclined, Tell me you're kidding me. Yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure you do it aggressively too.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: If you weren't supposed to recline, they wouldn't have put
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: the recline option in the seat, right, it's telling you
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: to recline the chair, right, Okay, my.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Mom trained us so well.
• 20:05
  Speaker 19: I'll just Doug by the way, my mom trained us
• 20:07
  Speaker 19: so well not swear pajamas in public that even when
• 20:09

• 20:11
  Speaker 19: work in my clothes, change into my pajamas at work,
• 20:14
  Speaker 19: and then change before I leaves.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not, you know, in public.
• 20:17
  Speaker 19: So the fact that people fly in pajamas is wild
• 20:20
  Speaker 19: to me.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: It's wait, everybody's got an opinion.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I know this.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: This is why this is sifty yeah topic. This is
• 20:26

  Speaker 2: talk back there, Doug. You know, I remember Doug when
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: he was just a chubby little kid. Look at him now.

  Speaker 2: I mean, what a great place to meet someone.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Or say, you're sitting next to someone and this person,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: you know, could potentially give you a job, Like you're
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: going to be sitting in your pajamas.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: True, Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good point. You never know.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: You never know, especially if you're single. You never know
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: when you're going to meet someone or where, and.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: You always strike up a conversation with the people next
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to you. You know, could be an executive from a
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: big company and there you are in your hush puppies.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: You want to be.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Prepared my pajamas to the airport.
• 21:51
  Speaker 14: If I'm going to be flying in the sky and
• 21:54
  Speaker 14: I'm going to be sleeping for half the time, why
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: not be comfortable.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: You can be just as comfortable. That's why they call
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: it at Felicia Ware, right, Yeah, yeah, it's it's really
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the pajama pants that have the designs on them. Yeah,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: those are the ones like the Mickey Mouse or maybe
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Wiser bod Wiser. I remember when I was a little kid,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: they had new Kids on the Block pajamas. Oh yeah,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: you know, with the designs on them. They had pillowcases too.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Really, and Lisa, we were.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Having a conversation this morning, and we thought it'd be
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: good to have everybody else join in on this conversation.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: So you have an article about real diamonds versus labs.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: So we're on the cusp of like wedding season. You
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people June, July, August, September, those
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: are big wedding months. So I was on Boston dot
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: com this morning and they had this really interesting sort
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: of question. Does a lab grown diamond mean he loves
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: me less? That was the question that was asked to
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Boston dot com. So here's the story behind it. The question.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: My sister thinks that my boyfriend doesn't value me. After
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I told her, we decided we would get a lab
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: grown engagement. Right, Okay, so that's the question.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, first of all, the sister needs to butt out.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Of it, and that's a whole separate topic.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes on, She says. The conversation has continuing
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to be an awkward one for us. This is the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: two sisters. It came to a head a few weeks
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: ago when she drunkenly told me that she's concerned that
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: my boyfriend doesn't value me. If he did, she said,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: he would insist on getting me a real diamond.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a popular topic here. Let me ask
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: you first, Lisa, Yeah, lab ground diamond.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Okay. So I did some research, and I think one
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of the reasons why young people, especially you know, you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: people in their twenties like it is because it's it's
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: more ethical. Okay, So put that at the top front.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: It is more much less expensive, so you can get
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a bigger ring for a lot less money. But the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: problem is is that, again I did a little bit
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: of research, the resale value really is not where it
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: should be. But then we were saying, like, well, why
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: are you looking at the ring as like an investment.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to be forever.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Right, supposed to You're already planning for the.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Breakup where you've been timing on. I have to say,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: so to answer your question, I think it would be great.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I think either one would be totally fine.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: You would take a lab grown on. Can I ask
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: you a follow up question? Yeah? Would you ask if
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: it's a lab grown or real?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think I would. I don't think I would
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: get a test cut?
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: How would you know? Unless you I know, Lisa, she's
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: going to look for the receipt. She's going to find
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: out if it's lab or real.
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's the Honestly, it's the sentiment, right, it's
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the connection. It's the person asking you to marry him,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: like that's the most important.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, follow up question. Okay, you get proposed to, You
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: get the ring. It's beautiful, you love it, you're wearing it.
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: You bring to the jeweler to get cleaned, and the
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: jeweler says, wow, this is a beautiful lab grown ring.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: But he didn't tell you ahead of time. Oh what
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: do you think? Would you want to? I shouldn't care.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't. Honestly, I wouldn't care.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: First of all, what monster academy did the sister go to?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, on this little Q and A.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Bought a busy box?
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, why yeah exactly.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Nobody's offering her a ring, and so.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: She's trying to tarnish her sister's like whole beautiful experience.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because no one will even buy her a drink.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: So this is a conversation in my house now because
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: my wife lost her wedding ring, her diamond ring. Yeah,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: it broke off and it's just gone. So you know,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: she needs another one. So when it happened a couple
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: of months ago, she said, you know, I'd like a
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: new one, but I'll take a lab grown. I don't
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: want you to spend all this money, right, So that's
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: in my mind, and I'm kind of torn on what
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: to do, you know, because even though she gave me
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: the approval, it's kind of in the back of my head.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like, is it okay? Am I cheaping out? Because
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the price difference is substantial. It's so substantial, very much so,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: so I don't know what I'm gonna do yet. But
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: it's funny this topic came out because I've been thinking
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: about it on what to do, so we need some help.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's a plus if you're getting Labron lab.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Grown, you know you can I mean on the other
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: side of the coin here, you can get beautiful, you know,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: vintage rings and stuff like that for a lot less money.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: And those are real diamonds, so different ways of looking at.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Also, by the way, all jewelers sell both.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Well, actually we looked on the Tiffany website and they don't.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: They do not sell lat.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, the lab diamonds are forever. Yeah, you know what
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, again, it's about the meaning behind.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: It, correct, yeah, correct? Okay.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean if you're saying yes, I will, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: all you can think about is how much I can
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: get for this ring when the day comes.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: That's not a good sign.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: It's a deeper problem. That's not a good job.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: I was engaged on December thirty first of this past
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: year at Disney and Epcot, and he gave me a
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: lab grown.
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: And it's literally the exact.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Same thing as a regular diamond.
• 27:06
  Speaker 18: The diamonde you're just mining.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Lab grown is just you know, in a lab.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: It's the same thing. The ring costs about fifteen thousand dollars, so,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I mean he did show me the appraisal, but fifteen
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars it's absolutely beautiful.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Wow, how to show the appraisal? Oh?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: How big is that?
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: That's a big ring? Whoa the big rock? Can I
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: be honest with you? Okay? I got ear rings for
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Michelle for Christmas. Lab grown absolutely Wow, Okay, okay, Actually
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: she had the choice. She insisted on the lab because
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: she likes to save money. That's what it is. They're beautiful. Yeah,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: your wife is very We love her, but she's very
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: frugal with the money. Works for me.
• 27:53
  Speaker 18: Wow.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So you save some doughs.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Oh they sparkling shine at the side of her face
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: every time she ports them.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: All.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Wow, you buried the lead that cost well. I was
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: reluctant to share the leader.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Now it's topic time with Billy and Lisa in the.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Morning, and topic time that if I Catches Law Group,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: New England's Personal injury experts, if you've been heard on
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: the job through no fault of your own, especially nurses,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: if you're listening, set up a free consult at catches
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: law dot com. But we're having a fiery conversation all
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: of a sudden about diamond ring Should they be real?
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Should they be well lab diamonds? Is there a difference?
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Does anybody care? It's such a hot topic, so much
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: so that our first call is, well, what do you
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: know a jeweler and her name is Kendall.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Kendall.
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Top.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you want to start, Kendall.
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: It's a great topic. So I just want to give
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: a quick shout out to King Jewelers in Cohafen. That's
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: my family's jewelry store. So we talk about this often
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: and I will say, I just have to say, they're both.
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: They're both real diamonds. The ring happens to be you know, original.
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: I'm old, so I guess you know, a quote unquote
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: real diamond. But they're both great in different ways. Obviously,
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: you can get a bigger diamond. I think a lot
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: of people today are waiting to get married later, so
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: they might be in their thirties when some of their
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: friends have like upgraded their diamond to a bigger diamond,
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: So they want the big one, which you can obviously get.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: And the fact that they're you know, ethically sourced is great.
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: But just to they're both real. Can you tell the
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: difference their own ways? But my aunt can, she's a gemologist,
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: so for sure. And I think when you go to
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: get it appraised, obviously you're going to know if you
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: don't already know, that you've gotten a lab grown diamond.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: At the stone through one of those glasses.
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, who's doing that all the stuff.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question about real Like I'm
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: putting this in quotes real diamonds, are they stamped at all?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: That is that? How can you tell it's real?
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: So you would have to have it appraised as far
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: as I know. That's how I know mine is. I mean,
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: I obviously we bought it from my family, so we knew.
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: But yeah, you for sure would have it appraised, and
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: you can tell. I can't tell because I'm not a gyminisis,
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: but you can definitely tell.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: But can you think of anything negative about having the
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: lab versus the real They're both real, but a lab done?
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't. I don't think so. I think. I
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: mean my personal preference again because I'm old. I have
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: a you know, quote unquote real diamond and I love it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: But I can totally see why you would want a
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: lab grown. Sure, there's there's really no there's no con
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: unless you know, again, you own it. You can't resell that.
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: But if you're being you know, hopefully you're in a
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: marriage for ever and you don't need to resell it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know you don't have to
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: sell it for profit. You're going to get what you
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: paid for it or close to it, right, I don't think.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Is that true? Like, what's what would be the resale value?
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: You're not you're not getting anything on it. I mean
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: you'll get you'll get something, not a penny.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: We'll throw it away and it's the same thing.
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it doesn't appreciate like a real.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: But who cares. You're in it for the marriage, right,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: It's all all love exactly.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: A little behind the scenes producer Riley said off the air,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I'll just be happy if somebody wanted to marry him.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: A sentiment, right, who cares if he's going to get
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: down on a bended knee. Who can? Yeah, let's go that.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: You know what, you guys as a couple are the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: real prize. That's the thing together exactly.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Alison, she's in Avon. Hey Alison, what
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: do you think lab diamonds?
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: Okay, Well, I agree with Riley. First off, if you
• 31:56
  Speaker 14: can find someone nice to marry you that isn't going
• 31:58
  Speaker 14: to be rible person, That's that's the one right there.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:02
  Speaker 14: I actually just recently went to three different pawn shots
• 32:06
  Speaker 14: because I've had my engagement ring and wedding ring of
• 32:09
  Speaker 14: almost eleven years, sitting in a draw and a pair
• 32:12
  Speaker 14: of two thousand dollars earrings that my cheating ex boyfriend
• 32:16
  Speaker 14: gave me sitting there, and I don't want to look
• 32:18
  Speaker 14: at him anymore. And I was hoping that.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, you don't want to look at them
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: or him?
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Oh either, Okay, all.
• 32:26
  Speaker 14: Right, I don't want to look at the jewelry anymore.
• 32:29
  Speaker 14: So I took them to hopefully get myself a nice
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: chunk of cash, and they pretty much told me at
• 32:35
  Speaker 14: every single shop that I was going to get nothing
• 32:39
  Speaker 14: for them, maybe six hundred dollars at the most, five
• 32:41
  Speaker 14: six hundred dollars because of lap grown diamonds.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah again. I just believe the message is
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: the important thing. It's the message behind the diamond. Absolutely
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: not so much for you because you can't catch it.
• 32:59
  Speaker 14: No, I need to spend my money on a match
• 33:00
  Speaker 14: maker next time.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, damn, cheater. Nice for the call. Let's go to
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Sarah in Pembroke. Oh, hey, Sarah, good morning. What do
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: Hi, good morning morning.
• 33:12
  Speaker 16: Well, I am actually pro lab diamonds.
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: I'm forty one and my husband and I have been
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: married for fifteen years and I wanted to upgrade my.
• 33:23
  Speaker 16: Real diamond rings that he gave me fifteen years ago.
• 33:26
  Speaker 16: That was beautiful, but I had just always wanted a
• 33:30
  Speaker 16: different shape center stone. So I actually upgraded to a
• 33:34
  Speaker 16: lab diamond and took my real diamond out.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Wow. So are you looking to up the value or
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: the size of the ring?
• 33:42
  Speaker 10: No?
• 33:43
  Speaker 16: No, I just wanted to upgrade the size of the ring, okay,
• 33:46
  Speaker 16: and the shape and the shape yeah, and.
• 33:48
  Speaker 10: The shape yeah, and no one can tell the difference.
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: And I mean, we have three kids and a mortgage,
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: and so why would I spend thirty thousand when I
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: could spend eighteen.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: You know, It's just not the best thing for the family. Uh.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: And again I'm telling you, I got lab for the
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: ear rings for Christmas and they are beautiful.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:06
  Speaker 10: Oh, my ring is gorgeous. Everyone comments on it. And
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: now I have my real diamond that I can hand
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: down to my daughter one day.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: There you go, You've got both worlds. That's great, all right.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Nice for the call.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: She might not want it. She might just want a
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: lab grown diamonds, right.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: They are nice.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Josh and Lowell.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: The man's perspective Josh, good morning. What do you want
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: to say?
• 34:30
  Speaker 18: Okay, so I just recently got engaged. So I've been
• 34:34
  Speaker 18: floating around and gone to a whole bunch of jewels
• 34:37
  Speaker 18: and heard it from both ends of the aisle. And
• 34:40
  Speaker 18: the most convincing argument that I've heard is nobody goes
• 34:45
  Speaker 18: around saying that IVF babies aren't real babies, even though
• 34:49
  Speaker 18: they would you could like logically call them flab grown babies,
• 34:53
  Speaker 18: right like that that that's messed up. And then also,
• 34:58
  Speaker 18: nobody goes around saying apple's grown on apple orchard aren't
• 35:02
  Speaker 18: real because they're like, that's a farmed apple. You No
• 35:05
  Speaker 18: one goes around saying, oh, I have to go find
• 35:07
  Speaker 18: it in the middle of the woods for a real apple.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:13
  Speaker 18: Those are the two most valley arguments I've heard for
• 35:15
  Speaker 18: pro lab ground. Right I personally, actually I went down
• 35:22
  Speaker 18: the middle of the road. So the main stone on
• 35:24
  Speaker 18: mine is lab grown, but all of the decorative side stones,
• 35:28
  Speaker 18: which they're thirty five of them, those are all natural.
• 35:31
  Speaker 18: Oh wow, Yeah, So that's like that's the best balance.
• 35:37
  Speaker 18: Like if you're the type of person that you can't
• 35:39
  Speaker 18: make up your mind.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: But wait a minute, why did you go with both
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: are you looking to legitimize the ring?
• 35:45
  Speaker 18: The honest answer, I didn't know which one my girl wanted,
• 35:49
  Speaker 18: but I didn't want to give it away, so I
• 35:50
  Speaker 18: went with books.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh she doesn't know, No, she never asked. Yeah,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: good for her and she probably never will ring. Everything
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to and.
• 36:04
  Speaker 18: So but then for the pro natural ones that I
• 36:08
  Speaker 18: understand that I can kind of see it from that
• 36:10
  Speaker 18: because my mom was like that too, and she was
• 36:12
  Speaker 18: kind of she was worried that my fiancee was gonna
• 36:15
  Speaker 18: agree with her and not want anything live growth. So
• 36:19
  Speaker 18: that was that was the compromise that came up with.
• 36:21
  Speaker 18: But the way my mom was explaining it was that
• 36:24
  Speaker 18: it's it's the thought that somebody put in probably an
• 36:30
  Speaker 18: equal amount of effort that you have hopefully put into
• 36:32
  Speaker 18: your relationship to obtain this.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we agree with you, Josh.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Josh is very nice. Thank you for the call, Josh.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Let's take one call here. Oh, let's go to this one.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go to mic online one. Hey there, Riley, will
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: you Riley, will you marry
