Friends Keep Secrets

Gwyneth Paltrow came over today and it turns out we have a lot of Gwyneth Paltrow-related questions. This is the woman who introduced the world to yoni steaming and conscious uncoupling. A woman whose impact on culture is so specific, and so memorable, that we actually spent $600 of our own money to acquire a discontinued vagina candle on the black market. Today Gwyneth answers all of our most burning questions: Why’d she start Goop? Did she start the weird celebrity baby name trend? And why can’t Dave get the caesar dressing placed directly inside his Goop chicken caesar salad wraps? To be clear, he’s nitpicking only because he’s so passionate about the brand. In fact, Dave is such a genuine Goop fan that he was already eating it before Gwyneth arrived, but wants all of you to know this is not an ad, even though Benny is apparently a Goop investor, which does feel like a minor conflict of interest on some level. Anyways, thanks for watching! We respect you!

You might know Julia Louis-Dreyfus from Seinfeld. You might know her from Veep. You might know her just by knowing her. To be fully honest with you, we were all a little nervous today because of how important this woman is to our lives. For Benny, watching Seinfeld was a religious experience every week. He used to have a dog named Larry David. Kristin used to watch Elaine every day for confidence. Dave is actually from the Seinfeld coaching tree of comedy. So really, even this show you're watching right now would not be what it is without Seinfeld existing. And one of the biggest inspirations for us was trying to capture that feeling of a group of friends just hanging out. Well, today Julia comes over and does exactly that with the three of us, and what can you say about that except it's an honor. We were all very starstruck but we think we mostly held it together. We love Julia! Boy are we thankful she came. Thanks for watching us hang out with one of our comedy idols. We respect you!

Bryan Johnson is the longevity man. He has spent years measuring basically everything there is to measure about his body in an attempt not to die, and now he's brought his partner Kate Tolo over to measure us. This is concerning because we have been living very differently than these people. Bryan doesn't drink, doesn't eat at restaurants, goes to bed extremely early and has a list of 200 things that kill you in life. Kristin would like to know if she can still have wine and eat ten pounds of strawberries. Dave would like to know if sex holds value. Benny would like to know if Bryan ever sees another health man coming up behind him and wants to sprinkle a little microplastic in his smoothie. Along the way we eat a full Bryan Johnson meal, hear what prompted Bryan’s viral “just had sex with Kate” tweet, and find out how old Dave’s brain is (although he did smoke a little bit of weed beforehand, so maybe take the results with a grain of salt). The more we learn, the harder it is not to respect what these two are doing. Bryan has basically made himself the test subject for the rest of humanity, and Kate has somehow taken this extremely complicated human and put him in a comfy, confident, warm place where he can do it all. Thanks for watching and try not to die!

You may know Jake Shane as an octopus reviewer. You may know him from his podcast & Netflix show Therapuss. And at least one internet commenter knows him as demon twink Labubu. Well, before today Dave had never met Jake and didn't know much about him or his past. But that’s all about to change. Before Jake leaves today, Dave will have tasted his first octopus tentacle, connected over the importance of “laying a base” before a big night out, and significantly expanded his understanding of modern gay sexual power dynamics. By the way, now that Jake is our actual friend we can personally attest that he is incredibly funny, cool, and very, very genuine, regardless of what that one internet commenter said.

Today for the first time in Friends Keep Secrets history, we've left the house and hit the streets, with the goal of convincing one random stranger to enter our home and be interviewed. Honestly we were not prepared for how many people said no. We just weren't completely psychologically prepared to deal with that level of rejection, especially in our own neighborhood during a heatwave. But in our darkest hour, something truly magical happened. The universe aligned. They say you should never get in a stranger's car, but today we did exactly that, and then we let that stranger inside our house. The afternoon that followed ended up exceeding our wildest expectations, as we were introduced to not one but two unbelievable new talents. So lock in and prepare for an unforgettable multimedia experience, and if you see us wandering around your neighborhood someday, consider stopping and letting us into your vehicle. You just might be our next mystery guest. We respect you!

This episode is about the biggest questions there are. We’re talking God, souls, reincarnation, fortune tellers, aliens, death, consciousness, cults, the afterlife, atoms and jury duty. We may not have concrete answers to many of these questions because ultimately nobody knows anything, but it’s hard to deny that something could certainly be afoot. Much respect to all organized religions (though it shouldn’t ever cause war). Thanks for watching!

Kenny G, our parents made love to thee. Honestly the smooth jazz station they did it to would not even exist without Kenny G. This man still practices 3 hours a day, he still has the hair, and today he woke up at 5:15am just to get his workout in before he came to our house. He can hold one note for half an hour without ever taking a breath. Does it require this level of unbelievable intensity to be this smooth? Or is this merely a man who has never truly tested his limits? Dave intends to get to the bottom of this, and many other things, on today’s episode. Thanks for watching us hang out with Kenny G. We respect you!

We got Wayne. The original, the godfather of everything we listen to, the ultimate intersection of lyricism and swag, one of the best rappers of all time no question. We’ve been waiting for this day so long we don’t even know what’s gonna happen, Benny's body might disintegrate. We have so many questions for this man. What was it like getting signed by Cash Money at age 11? Was Wayne the first Lil? Or at least the first big Lil? How did he record songs in jail, just, logistically? How did he discover Drake, what are the details behind that story? Does he ever feel like the chosen one? Who eats less healthy, Dave or Wayne? Why is the Sixth Sense his favorite movie of all time? What’s the real truth about ancient aliens? And why can't he look at milk? As a bonus we discuss best practices for crowdsurfing and Benny tells us about the time he was hospitalized by Eric Andre. Thanks for watching us hang out with Lil Wayne and Lil Twist. We respect you!

Today we cooked up a great episode, and we mean that in every possible sense you could imagine. Our guest is Matty Matheson, a chef who can cook Michelin star level but can also make something super approachable with heart and love. Benny puts Matty’s steakhouse among the top 1 or 2 steakhouse experiences of his entire life and the food is only where it starts. Matty is an actor. He gets voted most fashionable. He has a clothing company. He has a cookware company, he sells pans with a wait list. So when Matty comes to the house, Dave, who admits he is not a chef, decides he is going to cook for him and force him to rate his cuisine. Please have a seat at our table and prepare to feast upon this truly delicious hang with the one and only Matthew Matheson. Thanks for watching. We respect you!

Hunter Biden comes over and it gets real presidential in here. We know he’s not a president in any way, but he’s the closest we’ve ever had to a president on this show so Dave spends a lot of the episode trying not to get too political even though he’s not even sure if it’s fair to say that Hunter is a political person. It turns out Hunter has no secrets anymore and is willing to talk about anything. You want to talk about crack cocaine? He’ll talk about crack cocaine. He’ll also tell you all about getting his entire digital footprint stolen, what the White House is really like, his challenge to cage-fight Don Jr, getting sued by Melania for a billion dollars, whether aliens are real, whether his teeth are real, and whether Joe Biden would ever come on this show in sweats. Plus his story about meeting Melissa and marrying her 10 days later, and the mystical, magical moment between them that saved his life. After that, Dave and Benny convince Hunter to hop on the autotune and he convinces us to get in the streets. Thanks for watching us talk to Hunter Biden. We respect you!

Blake is our first baller we’ve had on the show and an absolute pleasure of a man. Being around a man like this, you can’t help but have questions. Was he born exceptional, or did he become exceptional? Does he miss the thrill of taking a big shot? Could he have gone pro in any of the other sports? Who’s the hardest guy he ever played against, in terms of fear? Did he ever use his sweat to his advantage in a game? Has he seen all of his teammates naked? And why are the locker room showers still built so the whole team can see everything? Why would it still be like this? We investigate all of these questions and more. Thanks for watching us talk to Blake. We respect you!

Today at our house, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are the ones who knock. If you’ve seen Breaking Bad you get that reference. If you haven’t seen Breaking Bad, I think you’ll still enjoy this because Bryan & Aaron are the best men you could ever meet, but just be forewarned that we do end up spoiling a lot of Breaking Bad, and a little bit of The Wire if I’m being honest. These guys are two best friends who made one of the best shows ever together. Are they better best friends than Dave and Benny? Let's look at the facts at hand. They spent years together on Breaking Bad and then started a mezcal business because they missed each other. Also Bryan is getting his shoulder replaced and he's giving the old one to Aaron. It's not a competition but we can all agree this is a best friendship operating at a very high level. We talk to them about life after being on the biggest show ever, how Bryan approached his iconic crawl space laugh, Aaron dreaming as Jesse, and Bryan & Aaron’s marriage tips. It’s one of our favorite afternoons we’ve ever had. Thanks for watching. We respect you!

Your thirties might be the time when the body starts shutting down and kids start coming out of you. You may start asking questions: Is reality satisfying enough? Have you misplayed your hand? Do you believe in free will? Where does the pee come out of a woman? The 30s are a time to reflect and take it all in. Thanks for watching. We respect you!

Does being a UFC champion automatically make Sean O’Malley a better overall athlete than Dave? That’s what we’re all wondering. Because obviously Sean is unbelievable at UFC. He’s fast. He has big hands. He can cut from 160 to 135 pounds. He can get beat up by grown men in Arizona, cry after practice, and then go back the next day. And he’s about to fight at the White House. These are all strong points for Sean. Nobody is denying Sean has points. But can he ball? Does he have unbelievable hand-eye coordination? Is he more athletic in every combine version? I mean the dribble is not what you would expect from the best overall athlete in the room. So where does that leave us? Sean is clearly one of the best fighters in the world. But best overall athlete in this room? I think we need more data, but judge for yourself. Thanks for watching. We respect you!

Jason Sudeikis has no sense of smell, and Dave thinks he may personally possess the one scent powerful enough to activate it for the first time. If that’s not enough of a tease for you, what about finding out Benny’s favorite place to cry, how to write two #1 songs in one night, the best response when your kid starts asking questions about death, and what exactly Dave plans to do with Jason, the laxatives he ordered online, and a bag. You'll also get to see an Emmy winner and absolute pillar of comedy play PIG in our kitchen. We love Jason! Thanks for watching. We respect you!

Halsey comes over. Her name is Ashley, we call her Ash. Did you know Ash used to throw parties so people would like her and then hide in the bedroom like Gatsby? Did you know she has to get an Airbnb in Japan and become someone else for a little bit before writing an album? Did you know she can draw you perfectly, in seconds? We put this last one to the test with some art supplies from the garage. Dave prefers to paint and he can stroke genius every now and then, just be warned that if you watch this episode you will witness a work of art that you can’t help but be both shocked by and in awe of. You’ve been warned. Thanks for watching us talk to Ash. We respect you!

Dave says he can gain ten pounds in two hours. Benny says there’s no chance. They decide to settle it the only way that makes sense: with a bet. What follows is a rollercoaster discussion about math, pizza weight, digestion, and whether any of this is remotely possible. There are rules. There is a scale. There is a lot of food.

Welcome to Friends Keep Secrets: a first-of-its-kind show from best friends benny blanco, Lil Dicky (Dave Burd), and Dave’s wife, Kristin Batalucco.  With more than 18 hidden cameras rigged throughout Dave and Kristin’s LA home, the show brings viewers inside an intimate hang with the hosts' real-life friendships and the guests that pop in.

This isn’t a formal interview show. They might cook, record a song, play a game, or simply hang out. Blending elements of a podcast, livestream, and sitcom, Friends Keep Secrets captures the magic of being in the room with the hosts and the people they cherish most.
