0:00 Bart broke the ████ drying machine or Bark broke the doororknob. >> Did you? >> Which one did you break? >> It was just bad luck. It was just everything was on the verge of falling apart and I was just so happened to be the last person that touched them. >> Bark does break a lot of ████ >> dude. I believe it. >> Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys. I wanted to ask you guys, has anybody in your life um ever misread your closeness where like let's say that you know somebody, right? Yeah, you call them your friend maybe, but you wouldn't go as far as to I guess like call them your best friend, but then maybe they might have asked you to do something that was kind of reserved for people with a much more close relationship. Let's say that they invited you to a wedding or a very personal event or even

0:50 to the point where they asked you for like a ride to the airport where you're not even cool like that. What's an example of a time that's happened to you where a person you knew thought you were closer than you were and like kind of got uncomfortable? >> A one that comes to mind was uh when me and Gio first started dating, this might have been 2009ish. Um she was living in a house with like three other young working professionals. you know, people used to like just rent rooms out, >> like roommates.com or whatever. And then um I ended up moving into that house and uh the the young couple that owned the house, they were getting married and the the grooms, one of his homies dropped out and then he asked me if I could be one of his groomsmen. And I was like, the ████

1:40 >> He literally don't got that many friends then. We just chip in every week for a Costco order and then we divide it evenly every week. >> You guys meal prep together? >> Yeah. I'm like that's literally what we do. I don't know you like that. Whatever. And then but it seemed kind of desperate, you know, or he seemed kind of desperate. And I think like you know when you have a mar like marriage isn't just the like your love. It's like a ceremony. So there's this visual aspect like three bridesmaids, three groomsmen. So, you know, you wanted to like you want to look nice, symmetrical and all. I was like, all right, let's do it. But the whole time I was like, man, and then like even during the whole ceremony, you know, they walk around and they see that I'm in a different suit color than everyone else. This one got a blue one. You know, family that I hasn't seen in a while, they come up to me, oh, and then they're like, oh, how long have you guys

2:30 been friends? I was like, I just I just live with them. Wait, wait, what race was the couple? >> Uh, Chinese. Oh, >> okay. Okay. Did you have to do a a groomsman speech? >> No, but I was part of the ████ um >> Why is your tux a different color when yours when he's supposed to get everything? >> No. No. You know how the groomsmen are different color than everyone else? >> Yeah. >> Oh, >> they're matching in the same way. >> I thought you had a different color from the other groomsmen. The groomsman us three was different. >> That would be bad. >> Like us three are part of like a elite group compared to the wedding, you know? So >> his was different because he's best man. >> Oh dude. And then we have to do the whole ████ um you know that whole like you play that that that cosplay thing where you're like you're trying to get the girls out. The girls are like locked in the house. How much money you're going to give? We're not going to let her out. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> And I got to like pretend like I have this report like let her out. Let her

3:22 out. We're going to give you lots of money. >> That's ████ hilarious. >> And I'm like ████ Why am I stuck in this ████ >> That's so funny. >> That's so funny, dude. But but I felt bad too cuz I'm like ████ Like it sucks that you guys had a falling out and you got a you need an emergency ████ spare grooms. >> That's a nice favor you did for somebody though. >> Yeah, you're a good guy, dude. >> Did you ever like get close to this guy? >> No. >> They then they started blaming everything that broke in the house on me. >> No. >> They're like, "Oh, Bart broke the ████ drying machine or Bark broke the doororknob." >> Did you? >> Which one did you break? >> It's one of those. I didn't break them. I didn't break them, but it was a string of very >> He also ████ in the shower. Convenient f██████.

4:12 >> Oh. From different people. Was a collab. >> After you went to those things that broke. >> Yeah. It was like It was just bad luck. It was just everything was on the verge of falling apart and I was just so happened to be the last person that touched them. >> Like the printer ran out of ink on the page you were printing. >> Got it. >> Such an unlikely story. I mean, you do look like a guy who breaks doororknob. >> That's so convenient for only you. >> Mark does break a lot of ████ >> dude. I believe it. >> I do break things, so I like to buy industrial shrink stuff. >> It's cuz he's so strong. >> Okay. >> So, that was like I'm like, "F███, why' you have to ████ choose me?" But I I guess I'm like I live with you guys, so it's just close. If you guys have meetings, rehearsals, whatever, I'm just there. >> Just out of convenience. You're the convenient groomsman. >> Yeah.

5:02 What about you guys? >> That's pretty funny, though. I don't know if we're going to top that. >> Yeah, we're not going to top that. >> Really? Really? >> That's out of a movie, bro. >> Mine doesn't top that. I I just remembered I was just very embarrassed, but it was because I I um I worked pretty closely with this one um like very I guess you could say like successful like high-profile like choreographer for a little bit and then um like I wouldn't have even said we were like friends like that. At least I didn't think we were. I thought we just kind of >> That's very funny. >> That's very cute. >> That's cute. That's cute. But um but then we were like I I guess like she had a birthday and then she's like, "Yeah, it's my birthday thing at my house." I was like, "Okay, cool. I'll be there." And then I go and then um it's like really like close friends of her. And so like these are people that are like starstudded in my like dance history

5:52 like encyclopedia. I'm like, "Wow, that's very cool." And then um one of them like decides to be like, "Okay, so now we're all going to sit in a circle and I think we should each like give a speech about like our best memories with this person." And I have no memories with this person at all. Like I I kind of just barely know her. And so like we sit in this circle and >> she flirting with you? >> No, I don't think it was like that at all. I think it's it was just like a I don't know. It was kind of like I guess it would have been normal if we hadn't done this activity. >> Sure. Yeah. Yeah. It's because they decided to do this thing because they're all so close and I don't I'm I don't know them like that at all. So then we go in the circle and I just kept trying to move so that I'm not next. >> As it's going around you're like go behind that guy, go behind this guy. >> Yeah, >> you you should have gone the other way. >> Yeah, you got to cut back. >> It's like you're playing duck duck goose

6:43 and you're trying to like avoid being tapped on. >> I think once it got to me I just I just bullshitted my way through it and just was so it was so like embarrassingly bad that I just was like ████ this. I suck. >> What did the What did the choreographer say? Were they like >> They were just They're very earthy and happy and and positive. They're just smiling, but like I was just like that's the who the ████ am I? Like the whole time everyone must have been like how why is he here? Who's this? But yeah, that's that what happened to me. It's a very simple smaller thing. I didn't have to do a whole wedding. Thank god. >> That's crazy. You know like everyone in that room by the way >> cuz he's of that caliber. Is it? >> Cuz he's of that caliber. >> Yeah. Those are your cooworkers. I can't recall like when the the relationship was like, "Bro, it's not even like that." Or like even when I'm like friend-zoned with a friend, but the um like breast best friend zoned is is

7:34 instead of a best friend zone, I'm a friend. >> No, you're not you're not getting away with that one, Joe. >> Nice. >> Breast friend. >> Friend zone. But breasts, I mean tits, I mean. No, but what makes me super uncomfortable is you ever have those Hollywood ass ████ friends where like you just hung out and then oh this is cool, you know, and then all of a sudden they talk to you like this. Oh, I love you, bro. I love you. Like I don't trust ████ like that. >> We got to see Oh. >> Oh, we got to see each other. We got to see Oh, we haven't seen my best friend. >> What were you saying? >> You're stupid. You know how when they pull that ████ it is or even people that I've known for a couple years like all of a sudden they get Hollywood >> those are white people huh >> kind of but kind of but there's Asians

8:24 that do it too because they hung around those ████ agents too much. You know what I mean? They hang around that crowd. They get Hollywood for a little bit and then they start talking like a goddamn agent and I'm like I've known you ████ You never said you love me ever. And why do you choose to say it now? Like so fake like a goddamn ████ Hollywood agent. >> Wait, agents say they love you. >> The way they talk is like they gas you so hard. >> I love you, baby. >> Yeah, you're so talented. They go, "Oh, we got to do lunch, man. I love you. I miss you. I love you. I miss you so much." >> Damn. You know what I'm talking about. >> Agent thing. >> No, sounds like that guy was in love with you, dude. No, like not agents, but like a lot of people talk like that somehow like when when they get too much into into entertainment, but like not digital. Like digital people are like

9:14 nerds, right? They don't really do that. But then like there's just some industry people. >> Yeah, that's true. That does happen a lot. >> I've known you for years or maybe I just met you 6 months ago. You were so chill. Like we would go work out, we would chill, whatever. And then somehow you started working on set and you picked up on that lingo and then now you're like telling me this ████ because artists are super emotional, right? You have to be you have to gas them up cuz they're so insecure. And then I'm like don't ████ do that ████ to me cuz it's so inauthentic. >> And then I'll ghost them cuz I'm like ████ you. You don't ever ████ tell me that you love me. That's that's not I don't want to hear that ████ >> Is a weird thing to yell at someone about. >> Don't ever say that ████ to me. I love you, bro. I miss you. No, don't you No, you don't. Yeah, >> but what if they do? >> I know it's fake. It's so fake. It's so fake. >> Yeah, it's fake.

10:04 >> They're trying to get something out of you cuz they'll be the ones that are like, "Oh, we should grab lunch. Oh, remember back in the dayah blah blah." All right, cool. Then you text them literally the next week. Are you going to grab lunch? And they don't even reply. >> Yep. >> Oh, I hate those. >> They're like, "What the ████ What the hell was that?" It's like, "I got so horny, but you don't want to f███." You know, that's that's that's how I feel, >> dude. That that just happened to me like the other week. >> My best friend. >> I I ran to a old friend of mine at at one of the Spiegel World shows. >> Best friend. >> And then he's like, "Yo, let's let's meet up. I moved out here. Let's go get like coffee next week." And I was like, "Cool, let's do it." And I texted him like he gave me his number and everything. He's like, "Text me right now." Like I got to text you now. And I was like, "Okay, well." I texted him like, "How about next Tuesday or Wednesday? Which one are you free?" Didn't respond at all. And he's still there. I can see him across the thing. And didn't respond. And then a week

10:54 later, he sends me a he's like, "Hey, can he's like, "Come to my show. I'm performing at this thing." And I'm like, "Did you just not see I was trying to meet up with you already?" And he's like, "Oh, my bad. I didn't see that." And I just was like, "F███ it. I'm not going to answer anymore. That's stupid." He wanted you to just go buy tickets to a show. >> You want me to buy tickets to your show now? Like I have an unread text right up there about >> meeting up with you for coffee. But you know what would have been dope? If you texted him and then like he's standing there and he wrote, "Who's this? NEW NEW PHONE. WHO THIS? Who this is already? Doesn't that doesn't this happen to girls sometimes? Like, haven't you ever been invited to like I don't know, like close girls thing and you weren't that close >> or you just close with every girl you meet? >> She has real fans >> cuz you've been so many you've been to so many weddings. I feel like

11:44 >> Yeah. I feel like you're in a a wedding every weekend. Every one of the weddings, every one of the wedding things you've ever gone to has been like up top. >> I'm in the season in my life where everyone's getting married though. >> You're on the bridal party every single We're saying she's popular. You know, >> it's very expensive for girls to be invited to weddings. >> It's different than guys. Yeah. >> In the last 2 years, my four closest people got married. >> Oh, so those are your four closest your four horsemen. >> So, no more weddings. >> What do you mean it's very expensive for girls to get invited? >> When girls get invited to be in a wedding, they have to spend more money than guys to be in a wedding. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, even even invited to one, they have to try a little harder. >> I wear the same ████ Oh, it's cuz you got to like even like do your hair, which could be a couple hundred bucks. Or you got to do makeup. >> Yeah. And depending on what season it is, you got to look appropriate. It's like >> And then the bachelorette and the whole the whole thing. >> Corages. Oh, yeah. Like

12:35 >> it was an expensive two years. >> That's your fault. >> But now I'm done. I'm not going to be a bridesmaid anymore. >> You're done. That's it. >> Yeah. I'm I'm done. >> But what if your friends get divorced and they get remarried? Then they ask you, >> "Yeah, what about that? Did you think about that?" >> M I didn't think about that. >> That happens. >> That'll be a different season in life. >> You got to keep thinking about that. >> But I've never been like a bridesmaid for someone I wasn't close to. >> I don't even talk to them anymore. >> You might have examples of this where you're like not that close to somebody. Let's say you're not that close to two separate people that start beefing and then one of them thinks you should be on their side against another guy that you also don't give a ████ about. Those are pretty funny. That sounds really fun actually cuz she's just entertaining at that point because you don't care about anybody. >> I don't think you should ever expect another adult to take a side. It's not your fight. Yeah, but guys are smart,
