0:00 Let's watch They Live and you give me a ████ >> [laughter] >> I'll give myself a ████ That's ████ sick. You could just watch me. >> I know exactly when I'll come, too. Let me surprise you. Right when the first time the specs go on. >> [laughter] >> Welcome back to Careful Boys. Check it out. Am I the a-hole for telling my wife "Forget it" and going out by myself for my birthday instead of going to her fancy dinner reservation? What? >> What do they fight about? This fool can't stand his wife. >> do they fight about, dude? She asked if I wanted anything fancy and I told her no. I just wanted a simple night for my birthday. Okay. Yesterday was the issue. I wanted Olive Garden. My dog. Okay. I wanted to go home, get some breadsticks, just chill the rest of the night. I get home around 5:00 p.m.

0:52 and my wife is all dressed up and I asked why. And she said she made reservations for the fancy sushi place in the Oh my god. >> so he told her he wanted Olive Garden? >> He wants a low-key yeah. >> listen to him. >> He just said I wanted a simple night. He didn't say Olive Garden specifically. >> Oh, he being gay. And the first clue was that my wife is all dressed up and he was like, "Huh?" Cuz he's like, "I just wanted Olive Garden." I asked why. She said she made reservations for the fancy sushi place in the city. She said it was a surprise and we needed to leave in about 20 minutes. Nothing has sounded so unappealing to me in my life. I told her I wanted to go to Olive Garden. I think this guy likes ████ >> [laughter] >> We got into an argument about how she spent all this effort to get a reservation. I told her I didn't want any of this. In the end, I left to go to Olive Garden by myself. We got into another argument after I got back.

1:42 So, am I the a-hole for that? You guys just think he's gay? I think this guy's like on fire, dude. >> But I you know what? I I get it though. What do you get? Okay, tell me tell me tell me what's the what's your take on it. >> because so you know when when women say I don't want anything, usually that's not true. Yeah. When men say they don't want anything, it's ████ true. >> It's true. That's exactly right. There's no subtext. Yeah, so I'm the same way every birthday I have, I'm pretty much the same way. I just don't want to put effort into anything. I want everything to be easy. I want I don't want to have to look at my watch that I got to be somewhere in 20 minutes. I just want to do nothing as much as possible and that's my perfect birthday. >> So you think she like woman-splained her birth his birthday pretty much? I think she made it about her. She made it about her. She's like this is what I think you should have. >> I want to go to sushi, douchebag sushi

2:32 tonight. And you said you just wanted a simple night. So I want my douchebag sushi and we'll use your birthday as an excuse. >> It's someone telling you how you should celebrate your birthday versus what you actually wanted. Do you guys Do you guys think uh he was um So I guess like if that happened to me, I would still just go with it cuz I am looking for >> part is him storming off. Yeah, cuz I'm cuz I'm looking for a go go with the flow night, right? And a go with the flow night, if I had in my mind it was just going to be on the couch. But now that you made reservation, then the go with the flow is now the sushi night. I'll give you a recent example for my birthday. Um we were pretty busy that week. So I was and then it was like the weather was kind of finicky, so it could have stormed. So I didn't want to plan anything and then like also I don't like planning my own birthday. I think it's pretty gay. >> [laughter] >> And then so like Only if you go to

3:23 Golden Steer. Yeah, but I didn't have any ideas. So like I think that was the biggest thing is I didn't have an inspiration of like this will be sick, right? So then she was what do you want to do for your birthday? And I'm like I don't know about the weather, so maybe we should just rain check until we know for sure cuz I was thinking we'll have like a barbecue at the beach. That that's a pretty solid birthday for me. And then she goes, "Okay." But she books reservations at this Turkish restaurant Ooh. that I've been wanting to go to. Wow. So like cuz like cuz we be driving by it and I'm like we should Oh, I want to take you there. I want to take you there. I keep telling her that, right? And it was ████ fire. And then um she found a bootleg ass circus that was like it was so good. So good. That's such a Joe thing. We went to like a five-star

4:13 restaurant and afterwards we went to this ████ circus. >> She knows you. That's for you, dude. That's dope. That's romantic as hell. That's her doing what she knows you like, yeah. That's tight. >> But that that to me is like we're doing what's fun to me. Yeah. And then like but in that case they did what's what what's fun to her. >> Yeah. And it shows that she's been listening to you. Yeah. >> not listening to him. If Hannah's like we're going to get chips and fish. Let's get chips and fish. >> I like chips and fish. [laughter] But you know what I mean? Yeah. You you're like nah, I wanted to go to this Turkish place and so she didn't make it about her and her limey ass taste. Yeah. We're going to get mashed peas. >> [laughter] >> LET'S GO TO THE LOLLY. I'm glad she planned some ████ out cuz it ended up being pretty fun. Sick, actually. And then like but it was still low-key

5:03 >> But it was you. That was you. >> She took care to make sure it was based on what you liked. This chick's like get ready, we're leaving in 20. Put on your ████ suit. Dude, yeah. I hate that ████ If if if I said low-key and you say suit, I'm out. Oh god, suit. Yeah, the first year that I was with Smack she kind of did that to me. No way. And I had to tell her, yeah. >> [laughter] >> She did uh cuz like I've I was always telling her like hey, I don't want to do nothing. Like my birthday just that's my favorite day to just have low effort, you know, cuz if I have to work or do whatever I I want to make sure on my birthday I don't do nothing. Does she cuz she thought you were just saying that just to be cool like how she tells >> Yeah, I think so. I mean our first year it was kind of like rough in in the ways of a lot of that because she was too scared to like take it seriously and then I get mad and go damn, you didn't do nothing for my birthday. Cuz you didn't know me all the way yet. So like what happened is like she doesn't know

5:53 she didn't know really that when I say like I ████ hate camping, I was ████ serious about that. So like on my birthday she like set up and it was really cute I guess like in theory, but she set up this thing where like and this is when I was still living in Hollywood and she's like, yeah, I got this thing set up as a surprise. And already I was like, oh my god, come on man. Like I really didn't want to do nothing. So we get in the car, we drive up >> let her know that right then and there or did I told her that all leading up and everything and then we go we go up to like we drive hell of far to like some like into the mountains and ████ and she takes us to some glamping place where it's like a bunch of like airstream trailers which is pretty cool. But then like it's one of those things where we just get to stay out there at night and there's like hell of mosquitoes coming in through these windows like that the windows can't close. So we're like I just was like I remember like I felt bad she started crying because she was like this isn't what you want

6:44 and I'm like Yeah, no ████ Yeah, I GOT I'M GETTING TYPHOID. I GOT TYPHOID RIGHT NOW. So we had like a ████ we got in a fight because I was like I was like dude I I want to like not be like upset because like I don't want you to feel bad but like you've done the exact opposite of what I like dude. And I felt so bad and then she never did that again but like it now we laugh about it but it was like that was our first like year and then I think my birthday came up pretty quick to us being together so she didn't have a whole lot of time to make sure I wasn't just jazzing myself I really don't want to do nothing. But like I remember telling her I'm like if we if you ever want to do anything for me it's never like over the top like big things. Like I just like give me a ████ Hot Wheels and that's already way better than this. Like a little little tiny thing. >> And then order pizza and watch like a 80s movie. >> OH, EXACTLY. BRO, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN

7:34 so dope. It's like if you want low key that's low key. Low effort, no thinking, no going out. Yeah, and then and then she ████ understood it 1 million percent after that, but yeah. >> Let's watch They Live and you give me a hand job. >> [laughter] >> I'll give myself a hand job. That's ████ sick. You could just watch me. I know exactly when I'll come, too. >> [laughter] >> Let me surprise you. Right when the first time the specs go on. But you think it's worth storming off, though? No, I would like see that He handled it like a like a little boy, yeah. >> Cuz to me, it's such a it's a throw it's like Again, get dressed. Okay. I we're getting sushi, I guess. And then when you're there, you're just cracking up cuz I'm like, I ████ hate this ████ Cuz like if you just stuck with the program and gave her a hard time the whole night, you're still doing your birthday with her and whatever. Yeah. But like

8:24 storming off and doing your own ████ it makes you feel spoiled cuz you're like, well, if I can do the birthday my way, I'm going to do my own birthday my own way. And you're like, wait, what the ████ >> But that's his wife, right? Yeah. >> been together long enough for her to ████ know. She's doing that ████ on purpose by that point. Yeah, I don't know how long they're married. It could be like first year kind of ████ but it is rough that he went to Olive Garden on his own and probably thought about nothing else but like, ████ my wife. Yes, I will have more breadsticks. Thank >> [laughter] >> you. You know what I mean? He's like the guy doing the guy's doing the salad cheese thing and he's like Oh, no, keep going. Keep going. I wish my wife was here to see how much I like cheese on my ████ salad. Right. You know what I mean? What would you do cuz I know you don't like doing ████ on your birthday, but what if Nikki threw you like a party with ████ 50 people and ████ >> So that's where like yeah, in our first year, I don't think she would understood

9:15 me cuz I don't think that we had a good understanding of each other yet. So we got into most fights our first year. But by now, she knows like just have the just have like you guys around and like let's just go somewhere that I like like like Area 15 or some ████ And let's wear like douchey tracksuits so everyone judges us while we go by. Like stuff like that like makes me laugh, you know? I like that stuff. >> Looking like a dumb stag party or something. >> And and go like, oh god, these people are tacky." Like I like that kind of ████ you know? That's cool. Yeah, so I and I did that literally 2 years ago and I had to Anthony wear like a tracksuit with me and we went to ████ Area 15 and like it was perfect. Yeah. That's very on brand for you. Yeah, but I'm not um and I'm not like oh, please don't celebrate my birthday. It's more like let's just have fun, you know? Let's just have fun together, like But would you guys have ran off like that? Like The storming off is a lot, yeah. >> In my younger days I would have because

10:06 I wasn't developed like like I think emotional EQ-wise. >> Yeah, the storming off is a lot. Cuz sometimes you just want to be heard and the storm off you feel like is like the max volume way of communicating your point. It's just not the best way to get it across. You're ruining your own day. >> It's ████ man. It's ████ ████ >> Cuz I still like would have got sushi. Yeah, me too. You know what I mean? Like >> And by the way, like uh Not getting stinky tofu or whatever. >> But it's also different if it's an honest mistake of misunderstanding or if she's doing that ████ on purpose because she knows it's going to piss you off, which some women do. >> Yeah, if it happened like year 20 then you're like, ████ this ████ dude. >> already know that. >> Yeah. By the way, last year Nikki took me to uh what's that show? The Spiegelworld show? >> Absinthe? Yeah. Oh, great. And I didn't even know anything about it other than people said it was tight and it was my birthday and that was

10:56 a ████ dope. >> ass birthday. >> And I had zero expectations going into it. I was just like >> Oh, that's dope. You So you cold didn't know nothing. >> Nothing. Oh, that's great. >> great. But But she knows me better than I know me. So she knew like let's do this cuz I think he'll dig it and I ████ did, you know? >> Oh, wow. Okay, cool. And she saved my dick, boy. Damn, dude. There is funny cuz like first year ████ uh Smag did a different thing. Like this was we weren't even together yet, but uh she thought it would be romantic to do this and I felt really bad again. >> [laughter] >> But this is way before. This is like early early times, right? You know that thing where like girls surprise you uh by showing up somewhere where they didn't think they'd be at. So she did that to me mad early when I was still touring and then I had to go to Atlantic City to do a gig playing keyboard for Redfoo and stuff and then I got out the bus and then she was there and everybody was like

11:47 Everybody else was like oh yeah we did it for you like it was like a big thing. >> Oh like they were in on it? >> Yeah they helped her like know when to show up and when to be there and I was like oh what the ████ dude. Clingy ████ >> [laughter] >> No it's just like one of those things where like that that's like work to me still. You know what I mean? Like it's not It's not like I'm going out to ████ have fun somewhere. It it really is like work to me. So I just felt like damn that's a little weird. So I had to talk to her like we get to the room and everything and then she's like yeah are you surprised? I was like yo to be honest like don't ever do this again. I was like this is not cool. >> Did that freeze the night over like ████ completely? >> No we made a I made a a joke out of it and everything. We still made the best out of it and and all that but I just told her like like it's not like I know that's in theory that's really romantic

12:37 but like imagine if I was just showing up to your ████ like you're trying to be in the zone on set at a commercial and they're ████ there you know like it's not really I we I just don't have that kind of personality. >> Are you like I could have been with some groupie chick? >> [laughter] >> I don't even have groupies. I'm not the main guy dude. I'm just a ████ keyboardist but like at that point I'm just like telling her like you don't if you want to come you don't even have to surprise me we could just know that you're coming. I always forget you never had a million subs so you don't know what it's like. >> [laughter] >> I don't I definitely don't have one of those cool plaques man. >> [laughter] >> I'm so cool I have two million subs. >> [laughter]
