0:00 yeah I smack her butt all the way up the stairs this is how you know you've been together for a long time when their butt defense is like ████ it man like they butt defense yeah we go up and she knows my combo so she's like like left right left right block block ham Street and I'm like what how how did you know I was going to that's a spear Wu [Music] thing welcome back to careful boys where we are talking about what are we talking about we're talking about how to keep the spark alive during a longterm relationship who's been in the longest in this year um Nick Nick I don't know how many years Nick really um we've been married for three years including the

0:52 puppy love been dating since like the third grade yeah we've been dating since you've been dating since 14 14 years you've been dating her since she CHS with someone else no yeah yeah I'm a side piece I'm still a side piece dog wait 14 years yeah I think so yeah how long you 2008 was we're 2010 we're 2010 how many years is that 16 this year so take it away bar how do you keep the sparkle out 16 in September or do you flicker the light you flicker the switch flicker keeping the spark Alive by like sometimes he's making a stroll party yeah it blows out you got to light it up back up what does that mean is that code for something I don't know no I'm saying is you're doing barely just enough to keep the lights on no does the spark sometimes blow out you got to re we got to reignite he's got his Pilot how do you keep it going I would say I mean we

1:42 definitely had our ups and downs but as of recent probably like the last seven or eight years been really really good um I think honestly like talking to each other but having a open heart and open communication is really really good I've been doing that a little bit more we've been like ribbing each other a little bit more and talking a little more ████ and and not be a night not as nice as we used to be I feel like you know being like hey you didn't do this and then we have a conversation and like either make a fun joke about it and then leave it at that and then it's all good no other ████ in a way where it means something like there's no weight behind it you're just talking ████ cuz I feel like the most important thing is you got to like be best friends first M and then when you're best friends and you're like really look forward to living life and

2:33 enjoying experiences together that's number one like cuz once you start building Separate Lives is really hard to bring it back together that makes sense I remember we were having a Christmas party and ████ Steve and Nikki were just talking so much ████ and they're like we're going to ████ later oh yeah and it was so funny I was like oh yeah you guys whole ████ talk so much ████ yeah yeah dude Steve's got excited right now dude I I love that ████ man I love that ████ ████ ████ yeah no nobody can ever push my buttons like she can it's insane how well she can push my buttons like it's actually like stunning that woman can read me like a book and it's like oh my God good for her cuz like I never thought anyone ever could and then yeah so she hits my buttons and then like I pay it off inside of her ████ well with both legs on her head Fu

3:25 it I got my ████ you know Timberlands on the only time you wear them yeah yeah yeah soon CU I don't want to wreck the carpet upstairs he doesn't wear them outside they're fresh box bro never I would never noes carpet only carpet only the double foot on the head I was trying to picture there's a picture of it it's actually pretty feminine looking yeah you seen it no I don't know there's a picture there's a picture of it yeah it's feminine looking for the girl yeah yeah for sure Kamasutra February Edition yeah it's not feminine looking on me I'll tell you that not of Steve but oh just someone doing it let me make let me let me masculine this for you imagine but this is Nikki's head right here yeah but but then Steve you're you're doing yeah look there's a bunch of

4:15 different but it has to be both wait wait go back most of these are two guys so it's a little weird oh my God wait go back go back go back of course they're on Ryan's phone yeah yeah yeah yeah that's the one that's the one this gy this oh my god look that's it no but it has to be both you I'm thinking both got to be both both it's funnier I feel like I've seen that both Fe you is a hard P that's my move you just got to be flexible good hip flexers you know and thrusting at the same time I do think on the on the flip side the thing about all ████ access 247 changes how thirsty I am are you less thirsty yeah I forget about sex but when I'm single all I think about is sex all the time and I'm like I can't even get work done because I'm either masturbating or trying to go on a date

5:06 and then I'm like I wish one or the other that level of thirst when I first you know when you're like the first year just ████ everywhere ████ all the time and you just you don't ████ you just get like door Dash and you keep ████ you know and I'm like those days door are over I miss those days just leave it on the floor B H you're just sweating all the time cuz I feel like everything is now like sped up in a way where like you're you do more quickies or you try to fit it in here and then you're just there's no like let's just ████ get a cabin and ████ you know and I'm like you have to really like plan for that but then the the the difference is you already with that

5:56 person so then how do you have that um that feeling of like oh we're gonna rendevu cuz you know we haven't seen each other and that was my favorite thing about long distance is like I get to really miss her and then now we're going to ████ our ████ brains out you know yeah just your options and availability changes the nature I remember being younger and uh this is so silly um but like you know when you know uh when you knew you were going to bring somebody over and it's like oh man I'm not going to get ready for SX I'm going to clean the room like I'm going to get ready yeah you do things that are just hilarious that you wouldn't give a ████ about now as an older piece of ████ right but like I would do things like yeah for sure I would like clean the ████ out of the spot I would do like 100 push-ups before she showed up ████ your arms are super shaky and tired when

6:46 you're ████ yeah yeah I like that too your triceps are cramping one of the things I would do this is really funny and but it just worked for me I'm just saying it worked for me I would take like two shots of whiskey but then brush my teeth anyway just you don't have whiskey dick solid no because the thing is too much yeah when you don't drink too much not too much for me if I took two shots of whiskey I would be able to actually last like two times longer your liquid courage relax but not limp dick I see so it was just a whole thing now it's like I don't know maybe you get desensitized and it's like the same vagina that you had for a long time or like you know you just I don't same old same old you know what I mean I'm like give me my 2 minutes and I'm good unless you need it unless you need it it is different when you coexist with your part I kind of feel like the novelty wears off because there's no risk of rejection like it's not like in

7:37 the early where you're like oh I'm being accepted I know consensuality is wow i' be getting shot down all the time no but like if you if you if you could just wake up flip over stick it in and bust yeah I mean that's a little bit different from like all right man I go ████ fly halfway across the world let's get ready you know the ████ just give it up eventually they too easy okay that's the problem is you're too easy know it used to be a game it's a challenge my tip always goes you don't take me on dates anymore I'm like what are you talking about we just went on a date we went to collector go yeah I was like took you to dinner she we watch the Adam Sandy movie on Netflix she's like you don't buy me flowers and I was like I bought you flowers last week and she constantly does that at me like she she lies about the things I don't do for her she lies

11:48 I've done it for years this is how you know you've been together for a long time when their butt defense is like ████ it man like blindfolded it like they butt defense yeah we go up and she knows my combo so she's like like right right ████ hamstring ████ and I'm like what how how did you know I was going to go like this this this this this I'm trying to mix it up that's a spear Wu thing the ████ but it's with your ass three hit three hit combo stupid no eating on camera we've been together for way way way too long see y Nick come on Nick I love how that's our idea of spark keeping the spark alive ████ feeling up our women from time to time no we're

12:39 warming up the conversation we're starting for the most driving and just grabbing a titty out of nowhere we touching a boob whenever we want that's that's a it's no it it does add to the convers like if she's like oh babe I got to tell something like bad happened or whatever he like tell me what I'm gred okay tell me right now it changes the don't do that to my tits Bro ████ okay fine you can tell me but I have to be like this oh by the way all you haters out there who's say oh when I watch that JK so male dominated you think we could talk this openly if our ████ was here there no there's no chance like oh no like it's great I just love her so God you know it's a sick spark keeping alive move is you just start just dancing up on them for no reason you just start while they're cooking while they're cing or doing the

13:31 dishes yeah you just start shaking them up it's night it's a fun time whenever smack has like a really serious Zoom yeah yeah those are the ████ I get up on the bench and pull my pants down like you hit him with one of these you're just spitting on your head yeah I do everything I try everything so great and then like and then I got mad at her because one time she's like I'm sorry my boyf my boyfriend's just like pulling his pants down and and I was like don't tell them that's Levis might be good Brandy I don't know this recent thing happened that really sparked up our spark see we're just warm I like that I like that Vietnamese language in the bedroom I used like it but then Nick does like I don't um basically so we were talking about you know Christmas and Christmas gifts and stuff and you know we were getting gifts for everybody in our family and so we finally looked at each

14:21 other we're like what what do you want for Christmas what do you need to get me and then you know we came to that classic agreement in a long-term relationship where it's like you don't give me ████ I don't give you ████ yeah let's just save money and do like stocking stuffers like funny stocking stuffers so we put up two stockings like whatever you can put in the stocking that's it right oh that's a good idea kind cool yeah so in my mind I was like I'm going to be awesome and I'm going to lie to her I'm going to get her a little like like funny just like prank stocking stuffers and stuff but get still get her a sick gift that's a ████ move Fu dick that's that's a ████ very selfish very selfish I just wanted to win no wonder Nina said she had the worst Christmas ever yep why where' she say it she said in the girls private chat the girl private chat she told that to the girls in conference how do you guys know how do you guys know she has a block spot you don't know are you guys in the chat she got a I was reading her Tumblr the they tell us about it when

15:12 they tumblr's gone no when they have a little bit of wine she said it on our close friend [Laughter] story so um so so the beautiful thing is that I get her a bunch of like really little things for the stocking stuff right but then her stocking stuffers they all fit in the stocking but they're like sick I'm talking like it's like a new Rangefinder for my golfing it's like it's like a piece of paper I'm like what is this but it's like Broadway show tickets you know what I mean like a show that I wanted to see so it's like I'm like sitting there and I'm like I got her like this ████ thing that I saw off Amazon like it's like I got her a whoopy cusher I got her like a cell phone holder that she can clip to the bed post so that she can watch her Tik Tok you you got like novelty ████ just really really small stuff but the fact that she like went above and beyond

16:03 I was like ████ I thought I was being like like funny and then I was going to give her a real gift but now she's whooping my ass so oofy doofy yeah you know what I mean you were looking at it before Christmas no not at all it's just like on on Christmas when we were like all it's time to share but the thing that I was able to at least get she really loves ████ handwritten cards which I never doz some piece of ████ she always writes me cards right you're son of a ████ but this time this time I wrote her a card and I got her a different gift outside of the stocking so it's like we I feel like we just kind of at least match what's the outside of the stocking gift she just wanted this particular little purse thing dang my bad basic ████ I mean but um but you know just the fact that like she went above and beyond and then I also was like shady and went Above and Beyond in a different way at the same time that's cute that's

16:54 ciece of ████ and then she Rose to the occasion yeah so it just it just we looked at each other and we were just like holy that is a Sparky spark yeah that was better than us just getting each other GI Christmas gifts like if it was like what do you want for Christmas I want this what do I want I want this and we just get it it would have been had no spark but you know we tried to like con each other in a different way actually she followed the rules in one and then I was a con but it was very when everybody wins we did the same rules we said no gifts for Christmas and we both did no gifts for Christmas ████ it I did give her a water bottle though I did go back on my word and get her water it was a Stanley you got the pink one huh I got a purple one I got a purple one that ain't the one no it's the one it's the one that that survived the fire it's the one you don't know ████ Ryan pink purple purple yeah and I got a matching one for myself I'm all about the aala what color

17:45 is yours purple yeah it's not rare oh I got a gray one purple purple one but aala you guys feel I got aala that's cool man that's really cool we're big water bottle family the purple one's cool we're super in water bottles sometimes you just need to grab her ████ I tried doing that I got yelled at the other day yeah I got yelled at sometimes I said hey can I sometimes if I wanted to wake you up with sex and she said absolutely not I said okay I'm so sorry so very sorry that's a veteran move I think yeah you wake up you're later in the middle of night that's a veteran question to ask oh yeah or are you could do a first year marriage I I don't think that's that's that crazy first year is always okay what's first year first year is just the it's ████ the easiest year of all time dude first year of marriage really Mar yeah bro cuz riding a high though first year was hard

18:37 and then the second year was easy I don't even know cut that because that goes against his narrative yeah yeah what the ████ cut you're three is the hardest for sure cuz that goes against the D no why why how come I think we got a really crash course on like relationship cuz like when we got together we moved really quick so we had the honeymoon like really quickly and then we had the like crazy phase of just like being married while having a new place how while living in three places and it was just crazy so we had to work 2023 2022 yeah 2022 so just yeah barely one year and then so we were I think there were layered things that we had to solve simultaneously while simultaneously

19:28 celebra things so it was just a it was just a crazy cluster ████ where it was like usually most people are like one one thing at a time hey we got a house all right let's marinate on that hey we got married all right let's marinate on that oh we had our first fight let's Mar you knowon dude it'll be like 10 eventful things within a week that makes sense and then so there was a lot of that where we worked out really quickly how to figure all these things out and it was really awesome but then since it was layered on top of each other it was like what happened it was it was pretty cool but now it's really like Smooth Sailing and we just understand each other much more how did you push through like the the toughest part there were a lot of tough Parts but I think both of us the way that we both are which made it like ultimately we

20:18 love each other a lot so we know that there's no bad intentions it's just miscommunication so when we chill out we go what did you really mean by that cuz we're really trying to each other and then it diffuses the feeling of anger and hate and then it we just get back to a normal space but I think where we do ████ up is like we're so in our heads and in the zone that we don't celebrate and take the time to be like hey we're married let's enjoy this we're just like we'll do spontaneous dates but not planned so that's really fun right cuz out of nowhere we're working our asses off and then we're night swimming and laughing and doing that ████ but then when things happen like Christmas or whatever it's like we're not getting gifts you know we're missing birthdays it's like so I think it's like it's just a weird situation yeah sure well it's circumstances though fits your life yeah

21:09 yeah you're a nomad dude yeah so there's a I think there's a balance to everything but it takes a nomad to get with a nomad like you and her have that energy together yeah I think that's what's cool but then one of us has to be a certain way or else we both never have events that makes sense yeah that's cool and we're just lost in the s yeah yeah keep the spark High by just grabbing her and ████ her I'm telling you that's such good about at least you guys are doing that though honestly there's that's something that I'm sure like out of all the dumb ████ we've said more women are hearing that and going that's what I'm saying just ████ me already
