0:00 actual joy is like forcing your friends to do stuff that like you do. >> Yeah, I agree. >> So imagine like forcing Bart to like drink margarita because it's your 40th birthday. >> See, but he wouldn't. He'd fall asleep instantly. >> That's funny, though. >> I don't want to force my friends to do the stuff I do. >> We're going to wake up at 4:00 a.m. >> We're going to go to sleep at 10. >> Yeah, dude. I'm good. Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Careful Boys where hey I know that Nikki's going to bust her balls for this potentially. So let's just elongate the celebration. Happy birthday Steve. >> Happy birthday to you. >> It's a big month celebration. >> Your birthday never ends. >> Yeah. And this video will come out in like three months. So it's like >> Yeah. It's literally September right now. My birthday's August 27th.

0:50 >> Uh okay. We know, dude. Jeez, >> it's the big 40. >> Yeah, big four zero. >> Dang. Why don't you say it with some gusto? Some >> Who's excited about turning 40? >> Nobody in the world. Nobody in the world. >> It's sick, guys. >> No, >> you haven't been there yet. I know. That's why it's sick. >> You know what? What was like the like that was when I hit 40. I'm like, ████ I'm ████ 10 years from 50. >> Oo, >> that's the first That's the first thing you thought. >> That's the first thing I thought. >> We're 20 years from 20. Wait, what? Okay. >> 20 years from 20. >> Yeah. See, I don't do that. That one I don't do. >> More math. More math. More math. >> We're >> So, that means we're closer to people in their 50s than we are to some of our fans. >> We could relate to them better. >> Closer to people in their 50s than 20 year olds are. >> Yeah.

1:40 >> But isn't that crazy? Cuz a 50-year-old is technically like we should be, you know, comrades. And then the the younger generation is like I technically could be your dad. >> No, we're closer to 50 year olds than 25 year olds, which is that's blows my mind. >> Yeah. But do you feel like in our profession or like lifestyle though? It's like we've kind of balanced it out a little bit more. I'm not saying like 25 year olds. >> No, I'm not that guy. I don't think that about I don't do that. That's weird. >> What don't you do? >> Oh, I'm still kind of young though. I don't do I'm not that guy. I could see you being that guy though. >> I'm a dancer. Dancing is literally the found of youth. That's true. >> Yeah, that's true. >> But I feel like when you're legend status in certain things, like Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg's grandpa status, but he's legend status, so he stays young or like cool. >> That's why he's uncle status. >> Very true. Very true.

2:30 >> But do you think he surrounds himself with 20 year olds or you think his peers are still closer to his age? >> Well, his camp or what do you call his squadron is probably closer, but he still does relevant ████ like he was just on Kaisenet's like live stream. He He's still >> He's still tapped in. >> He's good at like I think for us we kind of had our era and then we stayed millennials and we're growing with our millennial fan base whereas like he keeps doing newer and newer ████ >> Well, every time he pops up in he pops up in everything. Yeah. >> Every commercial. >> Every commercial. Yeah. So, he made himself It's like Shaq. They just made themselves forever, you know? >> Yeah. I mean, he has a book with Martha Stewart. >> Yeah. >> Like that's crazy. >> He tapped into the boomer. He tapped into the US. He Yeah, he's all over. >> Incredible. >> Yeah. >> And And they're both so likable. Him and Shaq are just so likable. Like to me, I just can't imagine not liking them.

3:21 >> But back to Steve Green. >> I'm good, bud. >> I'm chilling. Do >> Did you Did you feel more joy or more like anxiety turning 40? >> I don't really feel any way about it. It's just sort of like, all right, we're 40, dude. Whatever, dude. Let's move on. >> That seems like not the joy. That seems like the other version. Yeah, it's it is what it is, right? It's just not something you ever you never think you're going to be 40 one day. >> Were any any big revelations where you're like, "Oh ████ I am now the age of my pops when he was this age and this is what he was going through compared to >> Yeah. I remember when my parents turned 40. >> What? You were alive? >> Yeah. >> Whoa. >> I was born when my mom was like 27, I think. >> Oh my god, dude. That's >> Yeah, I remember when they when they turned 40, it was like a big deal. And do you feel like you're a grownup compared to them or do you feel like you're a kid compared to them? >> I feel like

4:11 >> I think we know the answer. >> I feel Yeah, probably that one. But >> that's not a cool dancer. >> I don't know. In a way, like I feel like I've taught my parents to chill out a lot. Like we're they're they're sort of strict like religiousish people. I think I got them to chill out a little bit. So I think I taught them a little bit. They taught me mostly and I taught them a little bit in return. Do you feel like that uh because you know generation generationally we're we're at such a huge difference from like our our parents' generation where like the idea of like uh we're not going to have kids, we're going to push that. I'm going to get married later. I'm going to worry about this stuff later. You know what I mean? Like so many people now like uh when our parents were getting married at like 20 something >> or or making sure that their career and their life was a certain way like no no 30 is the new 20, 40 is the new 30. Do you feel any of that? Like cuz you cuz you're saying your mom was like 40 when

5:02 you were already like 13. >> Yeah. I don't I don't find myself coping like that. I think that's a coping thing. >> I'm a coper. >> Yeah. >> You don't feel you think that's a coping thing? You don't just feel it? >> No. I think I I just don't think like that. >> Like I compare myself when I'm 40 to when my dad is. And I don't feel like I'm giving up on surfing, man. >> Like I like if I go to Hawaii, I'm still going to surf. I don't you know I don't feel like my life's over. >> Got grandpa surfing over there. >> Yeah. But when I see my dad, I just felt like he was like, I'm done. Like, if I'm 40, I'm this is my job. It's all I do. I'm going to read the newspaper, smoke cigarettes, and that's it. But I'm like, what the ████ There's still a hell of life to live. >> Yeah, I'm with I'm with you on that. Yeah, I think that's >> So, that makes me go, "Oh, 40 is a new 30 or even 20 even." >> I just don't say that out loud, I guess. >> Do you say like daddy daughter day out loud or anything? >> Yeah, I probably don't. Yeah, I probably wouldn't punch myself in the face if I did. >> But, you know what I mean? I just don't

5:52 like to me it's like oh 40 is the new 30 all that stuff. I just don't I just don't think that way like you know what I mean. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. Yeah. For sure. >> Yeah. >> Does like Nikki ever think that way or feel like that kind of when it comes to like kids or anything? >> Nikki is such a deep person that um and I don't think like deeply like that if that makes sense. >> It makes sense that you don't think deep. >> Yeah. >> Like I think about like I'm like oh dude big game this weekend. That's true. >> You know what I mean? Like I don't like sit around and go like man life. >> You're not a duality guy. >> Yeah. I'm not a duality of life man. >> That's why when Anthony goes deep and Steve goes boring. >> I do find it interest when people are interested in something. I I love hearing people who are interested in something talk about what they're

6:42 interested in, but I just don't personally think like that. Do you feel or do you accept that like life milestones oftentimes are not actually for you? They're for other people to celebrate. >> Definitely that. Definitely that. And that's why I kind of had to suffer through the happy birthday stuff because I know people do like me and sometimes you have to remember that >> cuz your birthday stuff is definitely for us. >> I know. I'm glad that you guys get a kick out of it. >> Yeah. Cigar lounge was sick. >> Went to Texas Day Brazil or Tahas Day Brazil if you're cultured man of the world. >> It's he doesn't know how to say Texas. He just says Teahas. >> I say Texas day, Brazil. And then so I'm like, you know what? Teahjas is funnier. And then so he just believes it's teas and it's spelled with a J. >> That's hella funny, dude. >> He looked on the map with Teahas with a J. I was like, where is it? >> Are you supposed to say it Spanish or Brazilian or Portuguese?

7:32 >> I I just actually I think it's just Texas de Brazil. >> But you know, like Gio, if Gio was here, she'd be like that kind of ████ and you're like, >> "But if I do that, I sound like a vacation dad who's like trying to show off in a foreign country." >> I think from now we'll just say it the like very cultured way. >> Yeah. >> That's fun though. That's our We finally got five people to go to. >> That was sick. Nick even Nick even came on a FaceTime real quick. >> Oh yeah, cuz it started off with it was just us three, maybe twice like that, right? >> Yep. >> And then >> your birthday, your birthday. >> No, no, no. Your two birthdays. And then when it was supposed to be my birthday, he hijacked it because it was supposed to be all about me. >> That's true. >> But then we're both Gemini. So then we shared it. Yeah, we co-irked it. >> And then Joe, >> it's five. Now we just need Nick to come. >> We do need Nick to come. >> Do you feel like you got everything you

8:23 wanted for your birthday? >> You're just really trying to do this to me, aren't you? >> I'm happy. I'm happy. >> Like I just want to make sure your hopes weren't higher than like what happened, you know? >> Or like it's also okay to want. >> Listen, dude. I got what I wanted for my birthday. I got a um I got a ████ beach chair. >> A beach chair? >> Yeah, I got a beach chair. >> A sick one >> for me cuz I had another one. See, this is how simple I am. I'm a simple man. >> But is it a sick one? >> Have a cup holder. >> So now it has a cup holder. You You seen the one that I had. Ryan seen the one that I had. It's a Colts beach chair. >> Yeah, it's cool. >> But it's it's fine. It's not cool. >> The one I just got is cool. >> Is it also Colts? >> What's different? What's different about it? It's got a cup holder and it's got a pocket so you can put stuff in the pocket. >> Does it rock too? >> No, it will. >> Does it rock?

9:13 >> 50. >> The new beach chairs. I've been scoping them out. They're crazy. >> They're crazy. They're crazy. >> There's ones that are like ████ rocking chairs. A whole ████ like it's like a canopies on them. >> Wow. >> That's too bougie for me, dude. I don't deserve that, >> dude. When you're 50 or when >> Yeah, >> bro. When Woo hits, you're getting that beach. >> Sick. Sick. But no, I I'm the simple man like that. Like I got it. I took it out. I was looking at it. I was like, "Hell yeah." Saddened it real quick. I was like, "Yep, >> yep. Yep. Yep. >> That's it. >> Happy birthday." >> Yeah. That's tight. >> Well, what about Nikki? Does she like enjoy birthdays >> or your birthday specifically? >> She loves birthdays. Yeah. >> Or like her own. So, like, do you go off for her birthday? >> For sure. I love celebrating Nikki, so it's really easy. You know what I mean? >> See, that's the whole point. It's like you want to kind of celebrate other people. >> No, totally. But when you're, you know, a tuber scum, tuber comedian person, you don't think you deserve a lot in life,

10:03 right? you look very down on yourself, right? So, you don't want to be celebrated. But with somebody like Nikki, I'm like, "Oh, yeah. Let's ████ go." You know what I mean? Does that make sense? >> Uh I don't know if I relate on the I don't deserve a lot of celebration cuz I'm tuber scum comedian, but >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Let's dive into that. >> Go for it. Ask me. >> Yeah. Why do you feel like you don't deserve to be celebrated? >> No, it's not that. It's not like I don't deserve it. It's just like what's the big deal? >> Oh, okay. That's fair. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, it's a little depressing. >> Well, what's the big deal about Nikki? >> She likes it. >> So, she likes it. So, you're feeding her love language. You don't like it. So, don't My love Everyone just chill out. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm not like, "Oh, I'm going to my birthday right now or anything." Like when I was I was I was thrilled to hang out with you guys. Like, like we were saying at dinner, like it's a great excuse to just hang out with everybody.

10:53 >> I agree. I hate planning my own birthday. That's for sure. >> It feels weird. But like at the same time, I know that when a milestone thing comes up, like just the idea of you guys squirming at like having to do stuff like when I turn 40 next year and I'm gonna force you guys to do like really gay stuff. >> I'm coming out in 2026. >> Uh I just that's fun to me. Yeah. >> Because it's like it's not about you. It's about like the celebration with people, right? Right. Or like planning birthdays for like your homies or your wives or something like that. Like that's super ████ fun because you know that they wouldn't do that for themselves but they do deserve it. >> Yeah. Totally. >> That's like the whole point, right? >> Well, and before everybody thinks I'm just a total kromogen or whatever, I used to do a birthday thing every single year at El Padre in LA. Like every year I did it for like 15 years or something like that. And it was just a good excuse to get all my friends in the same room at the same time and just like, "Hey, all right. I'm glad you came." And all

11:43 that stuff. We got to drink >> expose them to the salsa. >> Drink Margs, which are very bomb there. They get the flaming margaritas and the the salsa is the bomb, dude. The food is mid as hell. >> But I think that's the actual joy about birthdays. Bless you. The actual joy is like forcing your friends to do stuff that like you do. >> Yeah, I agree. >> So imagine like forcing Bart to like drink margarita because it's your 40th birthday. >> See, but he wouldn't. He'd fall asleep instantly. >> That's funny though. >> I don't want to force my friends to do the stuff I do. >> I Because I know you guys are going to have a bad time. >> We're going to wake up at 4:00 a.m. >> We're going to go to sleep at 10:00. Yeah, dude. I'm good. >> That's a bad birthday. >> Yeah, >> but it's funny. Once a Once every 40 years. >> Every four years. 40. >> Dude, we should have done a We should have done an improv show for Steve. >> Oh my god. >> Like he's the only one in the crowd. Can

12:33 we get some suggestions from the audience and it's just him? >> I would have left. >> Give us a word. Any word. >> Put him through his own personal hell. >> Yeah, lock the doors. Good. >> Well, happy birthday, Steve. >> Thanks, guys. >> Yay. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. >> That was really fun, too. Thanks for that. I really appreciate it. >> Land was that?
