0:00 You are effeminite in a way because you're cool. >> Did you just say I'm cool? >> No. When I saw you looking for the extension cord earlier, I was like, that is an ass I would ████ tap. You know what I mean? >> Oh my god. >> What the ████ >> Point being is that >> wrong with you, man? [laughter] >> I'm always ready. >> No, I I know. I just crazy. That's all. >> Welcome back to another episode of the careful boys. >> Gentleman boys. >> All the gentleman boys. All of us [snorts] hit our midlife crisis at the same time. What are we doing? >> I thought we already passed it. >> Just kidding. >> We're just trying to be young again. >> I know. I'm just playing. I'm playing. I'm playing. >> Is that when you try to be young again? >> I'm not going against your prompt, dude. Don't I'm not like going against you. >> You derailed the prompt all the time. This is why you get this note off camera. >> Yeah. This is why you're getting this note again. >> Yeah, you're getting the note on camera now so you can be held accountable by

0:51 the fans cuz they need to know the truth about JK. This is office hours now. You ████ [laughter] up. All right. All of us hit our midlife crisis, same time. What are we doing, guys? >> Together. >> Yellow Corvettes. >> Yellow and red Corvettes. >> That's a stereotype, that's for sure. >> It's real, though. Buddy of mine, his midlife crisis, and all he talks about right now is buying a car. And I'm like, whatever. >> Hey, but isn't the actual millennial midlife crisis is to get um like a like a off-road car and then like go camping and ████ Like that's that's like >> not camping. Not camping. >> Camping is too normal. >> More like just off-roading. >> That that is normal. That's a thing. >> I think it's a thing. But I think camping happens when you're like 65 and plus. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You buy RV, >> you know what I mean? And you start like >> Yeah. But but getting the off-road car to look tough >> like No, like that's the modern minivan,

1:41 right? Or like you get the off-road card and you go you go on your like solo male adventures. Like that's kind of like the modern >> If that's the modern midlife crisis, I want to hit it now. ████ >> Isn't that the like find myself? I feel like that's like define myself >> cuz I feel like the uh that's still kind of practical. I feel like midlife crisis you do something completely impract. You have a family of five and you buy a two-seater Corvette >> and that is not you. >> Yeah. I feel like it's Yeah. And it's not who you are. >> Buddy of mine bought a boat recently that was too big for his garage, right? And he said, "When do I do anything for myself?" And all I could do in my brain instantly is just think about all the things he does for HIMSELF ALL [snorts] THE TIME. Like all the way up. But he's like, "When do I do anything for myself?" By the way, no man ever says that. No man ever says when I need anything for myself. It's like that is what a woman says when they're like wanting to go to a spa.

2:31 >> Yep. >> Like guys don't talk like that. But this guy's like, you know, Leo guy, like really into his birthday, ████ like that. You know, when when guys are like that, they're a little bit more effeminite into themselves and like he's just like when I never do anything for myself. It's >> Does he have a kid? >> He does. Yeah. >> Number one, it's so funny because I know who you're talking about. Number two, I can't wait to say that to you off camera sometime. Oh, about the same. >> Do I do anything for myself? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Just catch you off guard. Be serious. >> I would be stunned because you're not that guy. >> No, but I'm that guy. I'm super effeminite into myself. >> You are effeminite in a way because you're cool or whatever. In like a feminine way. >> Did you just say I'm cool? >> Then I find you attractive. >> Can we repeat that, editor? >> You are effeminite in a way because you're cool or whatever. In like a feminine way. No. When I saw you looking for the extension cord earlier, I was like, that is an ass I would ████ tap. You know what I Oh my god.

3:22 >> What the ████ >> Point being is that >> wrong with you, man? >> I don't think guys actually [laughter] >> I don't think that guys I'm always ready. >> No, I I know. I just It's crazy. [laughter] That's all. >> What do you I don't think that guys actually care about themselves that much. And so I thought it was very funny when he was saying this. [laughter] >> I think when guys say that stuff, they just want to do whatever they want. >> Correct. >> That day. >> Correct. But for for an excuse to say I'm going to go buy a boat, you shouldn't have said it like that. That's what I'm saying. >> Yeah. Just just saying I want a boat. >> Just I want to buy a boat. >> I don't respect it. When do I do anything for myself and then you buy a boat is like nuts to me. >> And then it doesn't fit in the garage is funny. >> It doesn't fit in the garage. >> I do anything for [laughter] myself. >> That's what I'm like that's like what a

4:12 chick says when she gets her nails done. >> Yeah. No, that's I pictured a girl with a face mask on eating ice cream and watching some ████ TV romcom >> and being like, I'm unapologetically going to enjoy my time right now. >> That's what I'm saying. It's unbelievable. >> Cuz she's always giving herself up for other people. >> Yeah. And the same cat is already talking about getting a car, too. And I'm like, >> ████ >> Jesus, dude. So, I called it midlife crisis by by sea and by land. >> What's the What's the actual definition of a midlife crisis? I think they're they're nailing it on the dot in terms of uh or or that's you >> the second part that they didn't say was like when they do something out of character, right? Let's say they have a five five person family and then they buy like a two-seater like sports car. But I think the crisis is that you hit in midlife everything's downhill from now. So you're like wait a minute like did I just give myself to this uh kind

5:04 of concept of a life? Like when do I do anything for myself? [laughter] So, let me do something that's not out of character. It would have been in character if I didn't just do everything I was supposed to do. >> And you're looking for that big random dopamine hit, I think. Yeah. >> But do you think it happens to everybody or >> only to guys that didn't do what they wanted in life? >> I think it's it it happens harder to people that didn't do what they want in life. >> Maybe a bigger example to highlight it. Like it's more like a firework instead of like a little like light show. >> Yeah. Yeah, cuz I do think you get to a certain age and then you realize, oh ████ I'm around my halfway point. Did I do a good job or did I live it the way I want to? How does this play into the next half? And there's that self-reflective moment. But yeah, the people that are like, "Oh, ████ I ████ up. >> Time to get a Corvette or go frost my

5:55 ████ tips or some ████ you know, like >> stuff like that." >> I feel like I I was like [cough] honestly I feel like like the opposite like the inverted midlife crisis. >> What's that? I feel like we ████ had such a great time ████ around doing everything we wanted, you know, achieving the goals that we wanted and actually doing things. Yeah. >> That like I turned 39, I was like, "Oh, I should have a kid and settle down." >> Well, you're 39. >> Yeah. >> ████ you. >> That didn't that >> No, that is inverted cuz I think most people they had the kid, whatever first, and then they're like, >> "But where's my time?" And then >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. >> Yeah. So, I I feel like that's my midlife. My midlife crisis now is like, "Oh my god, I need to max out my Roth IRA retirement fund. I need to start saving. I like it's a completely different thing." >> Yeah, >> I I agree. >> Out of character and like totally in

6:45 character if I was just responsible from the beginning. >> I think I'm going to have my life crisis later. >> I think you need one. >> I don't think so. You do all kinds of crazy ████ I think you do all kinds of crazy. >> Just kidding. I think you're you have such a uh and I mean this respectfully like you have such a childish brain in a way that it's good. It's like Joe's brain. Like Joe knows how to have fun still. >> Yeah. >> Well, I'm not Yeah, that's true. Somebody Somebody just hit me up about that. He's like, "How are you doing so much different random s███?" >> And I just remember telling them like, >> "Oh, it's really hard to stick to one ████ [laughter] thing." >> He's like, "It's not a magic trick. It's >> Yeah. It's just like I can't I just I can't stay at one spot. one job or one car, you know, I just constantly move. I can only stick to one thing, which one thing, and that's my lady. >> I think midlife crisis sounds like people that um didn't have the courage

7:38 to just do fun things or whatever. And then now they're like, "Oh my god, I better do it now before it's too late." >> But I don't even think they know that. I don't think that they sit there and they have the self-awareness to know, "Oh my god, it's about to be too I just think they have this yearning to do something crazy all of a sudden and like they just slam ████ it into existence. >> I've been midlife crisis. >> I think it's like this feeling of maybe you start to lose your childlike wonder and you have one last flame left and does it get blown out or do you go ████ what's that car I always wanted as a kid or whatever and you go >> I need a Dodge Viper V8. >> Yeah. My friend actually just going through that cuz for 10 years straight, same job, always providing family, always taking care of the kids, and then one day he's like, "Yo, ████ it, bro. I'm buying 370Z." >> Why can't he just have burst of fun? >> Because he was very It's It's weird

8:30 because he he sees me and my story. My story, I'm I'm always doing random ████ and he's doing the same thing every single day of his life. Same routine, same hour, same day. And then he just watches my story where he's like, "Where are you now? What do you ████ are you? Where the ████ are you?" >> Yeah. What the ████ are you doing? I don't get it. And I'm just like, I don't understand what you're trying to tell me. >> I cuz I'm kind of like, why can't you just enjoy bits and pieces of life so you don't have to ████ have this big blue ball and you have to feel like you have to explode. And then you know what the thing is? It's like making a purchase is filling their void. But I know that that never fills a void. But like that's >> me that fills my void every day, dude. Come on. >> You should really retail therapy. >> I love it, dude. I make money to spend money, brother. It's so fun. >> You do spend it well though, like on cool gadgets and stuff like I think

9:20 >> and it's all for me. I never like post about it. >> I spend it and then I feel empty the next day. Unless it's something I actually want. >> Everything I spend on I actually want. >> Okay. >> I don't buy anything unless I just want it or need it. >> Yeah. Anyways, continue. I cut you off. I'm not sticking to the prompt. I'm sorry. Well, [laughter] when you But then I guess what I'm taking from all of this is what it sounds like is midlife crisis guys are like they haven't really lived. So then they're trying to fill the void with a material thing, whether it be a car or a boat or a thing >> or they lived maybe and then they kind of uh scaled back on the that what was living before and now they're kind of chasing that those little pings of that. >> Yeah. >> Or they they or they like did everything they think they're supposed to do and

10:12 then they realized that still didn't bring them satisfaction. >> So wouldn't they just like cheat on their wife or something? That might be more exciting than buying something. >> Well, that's like the common thing people That's the common thing people do and they realize it's just a f███████ of headache. >> I think I think it's the most accessible crazy thing. >> You can't get a girlfriend at that age. >> Buddy of mine's dad went through a midlife crisis. Probably the all-time midlife crisis I've ever witnessed. I saw it from Soup to Nuts, the whole jam. >> He left his wife. I've talked about this before, but he left his wife. Went with this chick in Romania. She's like this young gal, like 20 years old. What a >> had a baby with her. >> Then >> that's winning, >> right? Then like realized he ████ up his whole life, asked his f his ex-wife if she can get back with him and she's like, "Go ████ yourself, dude. Go ████

11:02 yourself." But he was like floored that she said that cuz he was like, "Maybe." He's like, "I think she'll probably want to get back with me." Like that's how ████ nuts guys get when they go into the midlife ████ >> Yeah. Yeah. And can I just be honest? One thing I have to say for the people, >> but he got 20-year-old poo poo though >> who going through midlife crisis like that just I noticed a lot of them stay in the one state forever. >> What do you mean? Like >> they stay in their own >> like California >> like they need to move to Nevada >> though their whole life like they've never left and experienced what it's like to adventure. >> That could be. >> Oh yeah. >> See that's why I'm saying I feel like I'm going through my midlife crisis. >> Yeah. I was like, "Yo, dude. I'm like doing everything I want to do in my life." Yeah. And then suddenly I'm like, "S███, I'm staying in one spot. Move to Nevada. We get pregnant right away. Buy a house." And I'm like, "I'm starting to

11:52 do all the responsible, regular stuff that people who have midlife crisises that are stereotypical probably did 20 years ago." >> Do you feel good about it >> now? I do because I feel like I'm out of character in the right way. >> I just think you were too cool for too long. And now you're getting lame like the rest of us. Oh my god, that hurt so much. >> No, no, no, no. I think it's a compliment. >> Wait, why do we got to be the lame ones? >> No, no, hang on. He stretched. Think about it like this. Anthony Lee stretched being cool to the brink and now it's like it's like Laffy Taffy. It's about the break. The little thread stretch. >> How many 40-year-olds are dancing at Coachella? >> That's what I'm saying. And so >> I'm not 40 yet. I'm not 40 yet. I'm holding on to 30. >> Phil, that's that's a compliment though. A almost 40-year-old is dancing at Coachella >> behind Jackson Wang

12:42 >> and that is ████ cool. >> That's cool. >> But you stretch. >> Like think about it. Think about it, dude. That's that's like that's like no one's looking at you. These >> are deep cuts. >> No, they're not even looking at you like ████ lame uncle. >> Like when I walk into Jubie, all the ████ kids shut the ████ up cuz they're like, "Here comes Uncle Joe." >> No, they go, "Oh, brother. >> Boba for me." >> They go, "Oh, brother. Uncle Joe here. Uncle Joe here. Relax. Relax." Sh. And then they're going to, oh, I can't believe I got to go to Coachella and then they see you dancing with Jackson Wang and ████ They're like, that guy is so cool. >> Yep. You stretch it to >> No one looks at me like that. >> No. Hell no. Not. >> But keep in mind, the dance industry is different. It's not like, oh, this ████ old and he doing all this ████ Dance industry is like, >> well, it's cuz they wear mask. >> They look at your age by the way you dance. >> Oh. >> Oh, yeah. Say that to the minors. If you're like 42 and you dance, do the people think you're lame or no?

13:33 >> If you look like you're 25, you're fine. So sick. >> No one's going to say nothing about age. >> That's why Ken just futurep proofed with having masks, which was smart. >> Yep. >> That's the smartest thing they ever >> It's actually more, I think, impressive when you find out that someone's 55 and they're break dancing. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. >> They got to do it good, though. >> Should still hurt, Steve. >> I don't mean it to hurt. I genuinely don't. >> All Steve Day is going down. >> I don't know. Why? Why? It's like when you see a ████ surfing, [laughter] it's like, "Wow, that's crazy." It's like, "Good for them. That's awesome. They could do that." >> [laughter]
