Speaker 1 (00:00):
Want is always like in his sort of not a relationship.
He's in a good relationship, but in some sort of
because he's still feeling his way around relationships. Yeah, your
latest dilemma is pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yeah, so you know your boy's a grand gesture person.
I love my girlfriend and I think she deserves the world.
And I'm already thinking about my girlfriend Alyssa. Our anniversary
is October tenth. It's on the way. We're walking around
Galleria a couple of weeks ago, and she sees this
Louis Louis Vuitton. It's like a card holder type I
think that's what it's called. It's like a small looking wallet. Yeah,
is that what it's called, Bailey a wallet? No, like
(00:30):
a card holder, yes, a wallead. Yeah, okay, two hundred
and eighty five dollars this small looking like it's not
an actual wallet or like a purse. And I know
it's LOI, but goodness gracious. So I'm texting some of
my friends from Jersey. Then they know Alyssa too, so
they know her and her taste and stuff. And my
friend Nick goes, well, don't spend two hundred and eighty
five dollars, I said, house way if you could send
(00:53):
me a buck, he said, send them a picture of
the thing or a link, and he knows a guy
who can probably get it for cheaper, like that.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Like a Louis Vauton or cheaper or like I want
to take Louis Vaton.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I don't want to say fake, or like a knockoff
instead of a la boo boo.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah, it's very similar, but it's not a Louis one, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And so when I said how much cheaper, he said, uh,
three to fifty blocks.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Somewhere around there.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And if I get dot fifty bucks, yes, And if
I can save that much money, why not.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It's but but you're going to give her a fake
Louis Vauton. But if it looks the same, but you'll
present it as a real one. Yeah, and she'll be like, oh,
look at that he's speaking too. She won't know how
much it well, she saw how much it costs, but
she won't know that it's not. It looks pretty identical.
I now, my gut says, do it. But this is
from the guy who gave Cricket a Cubic Zirconia one
(01:41):
carrot ring when I made three dollars and fifteen cents
an hour. There is no way. I think I paid
seventy five dollars for this ring, and I presented it
as a real diamond.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
She pretended that she believed it was real.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
She told me later, She's like, I knew it was fake,
but it was just such a sweet thing to do.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I don't think she would know. My friend Nick, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I've seen some of the things from this guy, and
they at least I can't tell the difference, So I
don't think Alyssa would.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Would it be funny though, if she went on a
how to Spot a fake Louis website and look at
the stitching, look at the logo, look at the way
the logo is positioned to whatever.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Instead of LV, it's LW. It's like Louis.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So they do sell them in New York, and they
sell them pretty openly.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I'm sure there's a little.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Source, someone's car in an alleyway.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You actually go into a store, and then they make
it feel special. Yeah, there's this, I'm not making this up.
A sliding, revolving bookcase that turns around and you go
into the back room, which is about the size of
a small bedroom and the walls are lined with fake products,
and then when you find your selection, you come back
out through and at least in my story, the revolving
(02:44):
bookcase or storecase, and then you come back out and
you pay your twenty dollars for it. He would you
if you were a woman, would you? I say, do it?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
There's already people text and calling me cheap, cheap, as cheap.
It's like, it's not it's you can't afford it. Yeah, well,
I'm worried about is it? Does it?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Is it like considered counterfeit merchandise? Like are you gonna
get in trouble for buying?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Not the cops in New York, No, it's there. They
look the other way. They're never going to be able
to stop it. There are bigger crimes than fai.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And if she doesn't know, like what what she doesn't
know won't hurt her.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
She should just be happy that I'm getting her a gift.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And I know my girlfriend Alyssa would be a less
will be happy if I got her a penny, a.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
String and a chip.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Well, girl's got champagne taste.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
I every time you say like she have champagne taste
I'm thinking getting this for her. I'm thinking of getting
that for her, because she like looked sideways at something
that's eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I'm like, why are you're looking sideways at that? I
just think my girlfriend deserves the world. I just can't
afford to give her a two hundred and eighty five
dollars card holder wallets type don't get it.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
The only thing is that I worry about is that
if she goes on the fake spot of fake website
and she finds out, what's her reaction going to be?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Then I don't think she would though.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, I mean it's I guess a risk I'm gonna take,
but I don't think she would. And if she does,
you liked it when I gave it to you, now
all of a sudden because you found now, oh this
is a Louis Wutan.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
You don't like it?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Louis thought that counts. Look in the trouble you went to,
you had your friend Nick. Yeah, who sounds shady, afy.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Little shady. But I mean, what do you say a book?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Text messages? Don't do it? Get the real one? Don't
do it? Us ladies know is another text messages. There's one.
I would love if my boyfriend save money. However, it'd
be real upset if they had a warranty on the
LV website and something broke, I wouldn't be able to
get it repaired for free. It happened to me with
a coach bag. She had a fake coach bag. I'm
on your side. I say do it because she'll love it,
(04:33):
and if she finds out that it was fake, she'll
be like, Oh, that's so sweet.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
He couldn't afford it, but he got me one. Anyway.
I think it is the thought that counts.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
There's a lot of text messages, some people on the
phone saying like, don't lie, or you better just go
get her the real when she's worth it. I do
think she's worth it. But if I don't have the money,
I just don't have the money.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Rebecca. Should he buy her a fake Louis cardholder? Rebecca, I, yeah,
you're on the radio.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Should he?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
I don't know, no, because nowadays there are so many
places you can go online like posh and you can
get authentic stuff that half the price. It's kind of
like where people go to jump their last year's models.
I'm serious going to pash I mean, you're still paid,
probably more than you want to. But it will be real, dude,
(05:23):
It'll be real.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Real dude, something like that.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
You want to be real, trust me. I'm a woman.
I've got to take persons. I got a fake person
one touch A funny story. It was a Louis Vuita
and I left his work and I was in the
break room and a woman came in with a real
person next to mine, and I was like, oh, no,
I messed up.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Could you spot the difference? What's the difference with a
fake and a real?
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well, the fake ones, like the stitching is like cheap.
I mean, I go to.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Like I don't want to say the word ghetto.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
On the air.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
I don't think I should say that would but.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
I go to like different little shops and so like
you know, wigs, perfumes, makeups, all the knock up stuff,
and yeah, they display the stuff and it looks good
right when you're in store. But it's kind of like
you go to a used.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
Car dealership and the car is cued and.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
It runs and it drives me get home and then
the shoot.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Okay, right o, No, I know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yes, because they can polish up the exterior and vacuum
and put a car scent inside the used car. But
then you get home and you open up the spare
tire department and there's water in there because it's been
in a flood. Rebecca, thank you. I appreciate the perspective.
Let me talk to somebody else who says, Kathy, you
think that he should maybe.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Buy a fake.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Justify this.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Yeah, I have multiple knockoffs. What I noticed from knockoffs
is the fact that it's the quality. There are ones
that don't look anything like them, But I have two
Louis Vuitton knockoffs. They actually match perfectly to my girlfriends.
And the funny thing about it is that when people
say to me, oh, these are great bands, I'll be like,
they're total knockoffs, and then it's immediate like where do
(07:06):
I get it? So two of them I got in Spain,
they actually sell all the knockoffs that are as authentic
gifts can be on the streets. And then two of
them I got in New York right outside of Ellis Island.
There was a gentleman on the street and I got
a Christians you are a knockoff and a Gucci knockoff.
And when I say you cannot tell the difference, you
cannot tell. I have seen bad ones, but you really
need to know what they look like and as authentic
(07:30):
gifts can be. And everything was fifty dollars fifty fifty
dollars each, and I was going to treat myself to
real Louis after my divorce. I was going to be
my divorce gifts. And I thought, you know what, I'm
not doing this because I throw it on the floor.
You know you're in a restaurant. It might get on
the floor, or I would not take care of it.
(07:51):
So I love my knockoffs. And I'm a deal seeker,
so I appreciate if someone said to me, oh my gosh,
you love this. I got this for blah blah blah,
and it was such a deal. So I don't know
if she's like that, but I appreciate deals like nobody
else got it. I do not want a payful price.
I want a deal and I love my bags. I
(08:11):
would never pay for price.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And I love that cause you're right. You know what,
if it's a real life situation, you're gonna take that person.
That person's gonna get You're gonna spill your diet pepsi
on it, you're gonna put it on the floor at
a restaurant next to your feet, and yeah, might as
well get a fake one.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Might as well, thank you. I want how to be happy.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Well, okay, so somebody did say it's when you say
it's the thought that.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Counts as nice.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
But the thought is.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I'm going to lie to her, which is not good.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I get what you're saying in that regard.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
But somebody else texted I lost it, but they said
I'd rather have nothing than a fake I don't think
that's necessarily at least Alyssa, you know, list will be
upset if I came home and was like, I couldn't
get you anything. At least I got you something. It
might not be the brand, but I got you a gift.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Well, does she say get this for me or you
just think, oh, I just I'll get it for her.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I'm a good man that pays attention to my girlfriend.
When she points out things that she likes.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I say, just tell her it's fake, or just don't
get it.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Well, here's a great idea via text messaging. It says
vought by the expensive one first, and the cheap one
and then let her open the expensive one a couple
of days later, swap it out and return the expensive
one for the fake one.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Very complicated, though you can do it.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Disney Channel Lake switch.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
She catches you in her purse switching out the fake cardholder.
What are you doing? You're stealing money from me, aren't you?
And then she's convinced you're stealing money, so then you
have to confess. It sounds like an Olsen Twins movie.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Really, it does.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Sounds like, yeah, we'll see, we have so much time
to our anniversary.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Well, good luck, Thanks for all the input. Let's
