Chapter 2: The Four C's (Part 2) Episode Overview Andy finishes the Four C's conversation with Clarity and Carat Weight, delivers his legendary Diamond-to-Steak conversion chart, and cuts through the industry's microscopic bullshit to give you what actually matters when you're standing in that jewelry store. Key Takeaways The Clarity Reality Check: She doesn't need a flawless diamond unless she specifically asked for one - she just wants it to look that way Clarity grades are determined by gemologists with microscopes, not naked eyes in natural lighting The difference between technically flawless and "looks flawless" can save you thousands 99% of diamond inclusions are invisible without specialized equipment Focus on VS2-SI1 for best value - they look identical to higher grades but cost significantly less Carat Weight - Size vs. Reality: One carat = 0.2 grams = about one Skittle (finally, a measurement that makes sense) Carat measures weight, not size - two diamonds can weigh the same but look completely different Diamond cutters face a constant battle: preserve weight (money) vs. create ideal proportions (beauty) The real artists sacrifice weight for performance every time The Money-Saving Secret: Diamonds jump in price at half and whole carat marks A 0.9 carat might cost 20% less than a 1.0 carat of identical quality Nobody can spot the difference with the naked eye Buy just under those magic thresholds: 0.9 instead of 1.0, 1.4 instead of 1.5 The Quick Decision Guide: Cut Grade: Excellent/Ideal worth every penny, Very Good is the sweet spot, Good or lower proceed with caution Color: G-H is the sweet spot, I-J smart value, D-F if you have the budget and appreciate the difference Clarity: VS2-SI1 best value, SI2 can work if inspected, Flawless-VVS for bragging rights The Diamond-to-Steak Conversion Chart: Cut = Chef's Skill: Best beef poorly cooked is a travesty, average beef perfectly cooked is a religious experience Color & Clarity = Grade of Beef: Prime costs more than choice, you're paying for rarity within rarity Carat Weight = Portion Size: An 8-ounce filet costs more than a 6-ounce of the same quality Memorable Quote "A good diamond will be good forever. A bad diamond will be bad forever." - Andy's reminder that this decision has permanent consequences. What's Next The "investment value" of diamonds - and dear Lord, they've got it so wrong.

For this episode, the latest in our series on the films of Christopher Nolan, we're diving into The Prestige — the movie that proves Nolan can turn two magicians battling it out for “Most Extra” into a work of art. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale destroy their lives for a trick, but it's the kind of destruction that makes you think, “Maybe I should be that obsessed with something.” We're here to praise Nolan's genius, David Bowie's perfect cameo, and the mind games at play. No, we still don't fully get the ending, but wow — what a ride. Warning: Contains deep admiration for The Prestige's intricate layers, confusing plot twists, and the sheer audacity of its brilliance. ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

Episode Overview Andy breaks down the diamond industry's "sacred scripture" - the Four C's - but cuts through the BS to give you what you actually need to know. This is part one of a two-part deep dive into diamond grading, focusing on Cut and Color. Key Takeaways The Bottom Line on Diamond Education: You'll spend roughly 2 hours of your entire life discussing the Four C's Don't overthink it - learn enough to have an intelligent conversation with a pro Find someone you trust to guide you through the rest Why the Four C's Exist: Created by GIA in the 1940s to standardize diamond grading Before this, buying diamonds was like the Wild West Gave everyone a common language (that's why color starts at D) Cut - The King of the Four C's: Cut is everything - it's what makes a diamond come alive Not about shape (round, oval, etc.) - it's about proportions and craftsmanship A great cut can make a diamond worth twice as much as a poorly cut one Andy's advice: "Get the best damn cut you can afford. Everything else is negotiable." Color Demystified: Scale runs D (colorless) to Z (noticeably yellow/brown) D-F: Exceptional white, priced accordingly G-H: Looks white to most people I-J: Still looks great, especially in yellow gold Most people can't tell D from H without training and special equipment The Reality Check: Your fiancé won't be carrying master stones around to compare Don't pay for colorless if near colorless looks the same to you But some guys want top shelf just for the satisfaction of knowing what they have Memorable Quote "I'll know." - The client who taught Andy that sometimes it's not about what others can see, it's about personal satisfaction. What's Next Part 2 will cover Clarity and Carat Weight - the remaining two C's that complete the diamond grading system.

Travis and Jesse are back with another chaotic mix of topics that somehow all connect in the most ridiculous way possible. This week we're covering road trip conversatoins, why wind turbines might be the devil, the age-old question of whether aliens are just demons with better PR, and how Disney World is rad but the new lightning lane is TRASH. Just another week of married people connecting dots that shouldn't be connected.WARNING: Contains conspiracy theories, travel stories, and probably some opinions that'll get us on a government watchlist.

Episode Overview Andy reads Chapter 1 from his new book, "The Inappropriate Guide to Buying An Engagement Ring" - a no-bullshit diamond and ring buying guide for guys who'd rather be anywhere else than a jewelry store. This episode covers the single most important piece of advice for buying an engagement ring without getting screwed over. Key Takeaways The Golden Rule: Find a jewelry store where you feel comfortable going. That's it. That's the secret. Why This Matters: Walking into most jewelry stores feels unnatural for guys Everything's behind glass, salespeople hover like vultures You suddenly don't know what to do with your hands It's a special kind of hell for men who've fallen in love Finding Your Unicorn Jewelry Store: Ask friends who actually know you and get your style Search for independent jewelers online Check their reviews, website, and social media Look for their vibe - stuffy/formal vs. laid back/approachable How to Find Your "Guy on the Inside" Three Methods: Email the store - Tell them you need help. If the response feels too formal or generic, move on. Call them - A good jeweler on the phone is like a good first date - there's either chemistry or there isn't. Walk in and get down to business - Most terrifying but nothing beats face-to-face. You'll know within 5 minutes if it's your place. What Your "Guy" Should Do Ask questions about her taste and what you want to give her Address your budget head-on (it's part of the equation) Guide you like that bartender who remembers your drink and steers you toward the good stuff Make you feel like a human being, not a walking wallet with commitment issues Andy's Controversial Advice When it feels right - buy it. Don't do the "I need to look around" dance that fear makes you think you have to do. When it clicks, it clicks. Pull the trigger and be done with it. Why this works: Saves weeks of second-guessing Prevents comparing minute details that won't matter in 5 years You don't need to become a diamond expert - you need someone you trust who does this for a living The Bottom Line Find a jewelry store where you don't feel like you're standing there with your zipper open (but check that before you go in, just to be safe). Connect with someone who speaks your language, not "diamond-ese." When it feels right, trust your gut and pull the trigger.

Chris Chipman joins us again as we journey to a long lost age of monsters and movie magic and do battle with 1981's Dragonslayer. Listen as we marvel over the film's incredible animatronic and go-motion effects, examine how the film's portrayal of religion and authority reflects post-Vietnam cynicism, and discuss the movie's place among other 1980s fantasy films. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and a crazy, murdering nutbar. Our theme song is "Nostalgia TV" by Edward Jonathan Blakeley through Lynne Publishing.
Shawn Vulliez from SRSLY Wrong joins me to discuss the new collection of David Graeber essays, The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World.

Stay away if you just can't handle it anymore. I understand.
