For the first time ever, we take calls from people all over the world who need help finding love, keeping love, progressing love, spicing up love, and in one case, getting love to flush the toilet after 30 years of marriage. Today we answer all your burning questions: Is being real too early a problem, or is that how you find the right person? How do you know if you’ve found a forever Benny Blanco & Selena Gomez kind of love? How many instances of eye contact with your kickboxing instructor are enough before you actually have to speak to her? What is the ideal post-coital snack? And if your girlfriend is a Cancer, how do you love her correctly? Fortunately Selena happens to show up to coach Benny through his response on that last one. Please join us for this truly special episode. Realness is king! Thanks for watching. Thanks for calling. We love you! And we respect you.

Bethenny Frankel says the things about celebrities that most people would say to their friends, except she says them on a public platform to millions of people. And after today we completely understand why people like watching her do it. She has a very strong sense of self, she’s not afraid to be who she is, and she’s extremely charismatic. Benny already knew all of this because his mom talks about Bethenny basically every day, while Dave came in knowing almost nothing about her with zero preconceived notions and very quickly realized he loved her too. Today we also discover that Bethenny created the skinny margarita, find out whether she capitalized on it, taste the very best chicken salads Los Angeles has to offer, learn how to make a supermodel snack, and attempt to determine whether Bethenny is in fact the Michael Jordan of Jewish women. And somewhere along the way, we became friends. (Hopefully this means we’re one step closer to visiting her at her beautiful home in the Hamptons.) Either way, thanks for watching. We respect you!   What happens:0:00 going to the hamptons with bethenny2:49 teaser3:17 planning the day with bethenny6:01 this is a funny group6:15 why bethenny moved to florida6:25 bethenny's life story in 60 seconds6:54 bethenny's marriages7:26 bethenny's relationship with her ex7:45 co-parenting8:20 how dave & kristin met8:39 sandy meets bethenny9:47 bethenny's comments about benny & selena10:13 bethenny learns what benny & dave do11:23 bethenny’s dating community15:15 bethenny's type16:08 does bethenny's man have to be rich17:45 how benny found selena18:31 sandy's dating dealbreakers19:03 are we best friends19:54 is this a reality show21:25 does bethenny regret things she says23:19 who can hurt benny's feelings23:39 bethenny’s comments about taylor & travis24:37 what is bethenny insecure about25:09 being unfiltered26:34 how famous is bethenny27:39 bethenny's social media explosion28:22 tiktok vs. instagram29:11 benny's first day on tiktok30:24 benny’s tiktok31:13 bethenny's voice32:24 the michael jordan of jewish women32:57 does bethenny's daughter think she’s cool33:41 bethenny's childhood34:35 drugs35:00 losing her virginity35:52 raising her daughter differently37:11 raising a teenager when you're famous38:34 bethenny's relationship with her daughter39:08 what did bethenny think her life would be39:47 going to 13 different schools40:17 bethenny's biggest turnoffs41:05 inventing the skinny margarita41:28 capitalizing on the skinny margarita42:21 favorite snacks43:20 benny doesn't fly44:20 benny's tour bus45:21 planning restaurants months in advance45:42 never breaking plans45:50 benny & selena's approach to punctuality46:37 dave & kristin's approach to punctuality48:55 vacationing with benny49:58 the chicken salad olympics52:57 finding the best chicken salad in LA53:29 making a supermodel snack55:29 that's a wrap   Show socials:https://www.instagram.com/friendskeepsecretshttps://www.tiktok.com/@friendskeepsecretshttps://www.x.com/FKSpodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/FriendsKeepSecrets/https://friendskeepsecrets.com   Hosts socials:www.youtube.com/@bennyblancohttps://www.youtube.com/LilDickyRaphttps://www.instagram.com/itsbennyblanco/https://www.instagram.com/lildickygramhttps://www.tiktok.com/@itsbennyblancohttps://www.tiktok.com/@lildickyhttps://x.com/ItsBennyBlancohttps://x.com/lildickytweets?lang=enhttps://www.facebook.com/itsbennyblanco/https://www.facebook.com/LilDickyRap   Willie's is the #1 Green Infused Beverage in the US with over 350,000 happy customers and 1M+ bottles sold.

GaTa has been coming to this house since long before there was a show happening in it. And despite us knowing this man for years, there are apparently still major pieces of GaTa lore we were not aware of. Lil Wayne once woke him up from a nap and told him to get on a song. He has a song with Kendrick Lamar. He has considered shaving his head as an acting rebrand. He gives himself pep talks in the mirror. And now he’s a dad, which is especially meaningful to him because he never had one himself. Today we revisit the events that occurred one morning in this very house, just days before GaTa and Dave started filming DAVE, that could have ended everything before it started. We love GaTa. A man who has spent a lot of his life hyping other people up, but today the tables turn, as we get to hype up the world’s greatest hype man. Thanks for watching us hang out with GaTa. We respect you!     What happens: 0:00 gata's favorite foods 1:19 someone's here 2:00 missing a whole tooth type 3:37 would gata get a facelift 3:51 would gata shave his head 4:26 life as a working actor 6:28 gata beat the odds 7:15 the manic episode gata had in this kitchen 10:49 before his diagnosis 11:42 when gata found out he was bipolar 13:16 how gata got started with tyga 14:11 meeting lil wayne 15:01 song with kendrick 15:27 getting woken up by lil wayne to get on a song 16:25 gata's comeback 16:46 seeing tyga post-fallout 19:13 how gata & dave met 22:09 talking to yourself in the mirror 23:08 what's it like having a son 24:25 the hardest part of being a father 24:49 gata's cooking 25:11 pause 26:12 teaching kristin slang 28:49 the number game 30:23 the craziest thing gata has done for money 31:10 life on tour 32:22 tour fight with mike hertz 34:16 changing mike hertz's locks 34:59 learning from conflict 36:16 the umbrella 38:31 filming dave after the facility 40:09 crossroads 41:14 gata's current crossroads 41:28 is gata a good freestyler 42:54 gata freestyle 47:28 the best day of gata's life 48:08 the worst day of gata's life 48:27 gata's biological parents 50:42 gata's support system 52:08 paranormal activity 52:53 gata's last meal 56:08 actor to actor 59:46 gata's favorite episode of dave 1:00:53 dave's favorite episodes of dave 1:01:59 how gata cries on cue 1:03:32 did gata ever envision being an actor 1:04:25 gata's dream ten years out 1:05:19 a true guest of this home Show socials: https://www.instagram.com/friendskeepsecrets https://www.tiktok.com/@friendskeepsecrets https://www.x.com/FKSpodcast https://www.facebook.com/FriendsKeepSecrets/ https://friendskeepsecrets.com   Hosts socials: www.youtube.com/@bennyblanco https://www.youtube.com/LilDickyRap https://www.instagram.com/itsbennyblanco/ https://www.instagram.com/lildickygram https://www.tiktok.com/@itsbennyblanco https://www.tiktok.com/@lildicky https://x.com/ItsBennyBlanco https://x.com/lildickytweets?lang=en https://www.facebook.com/itsbennyblanco/ https://www.facebook.com/LilDickyRap See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we are taking on the very important task of trying to find love for Benny’s mom, Sandy. We scoured Los Angeles for the cream of the crop, the very best single men over the age of 55 in this city. These are not actors. These are men. Men looking for love. And we have to say, we were blown away by this group of men. As for Sandy, she’s looking for someone responsible, smart, has a sense of humor, dedicated, loyal, and kind. Tall would be nice, but they don’t have to be tall. She wants a best friend. Someone to spend her time with. And maybe there’s a world where a man walks through the door and it’s just love at first sight. Honestly, him being able to walk at all is apparently a very strong selling point in Sandy’s book. In this episode eleven men come over, Sandy meets every single one of them, and we do everything in our power to let a love bloom. At the end of the day, it’s really just about human connection. Thanks for watching us try to find Benny’s mom a best friend. We respect you!   What happens:0:00 waiting for the men 2:08 teaser 2:29 the beautiful sandy 3:09 sandy's dream man 4:27 sandy's potential suitors 5:01 what sandy is looking for 6:31 sandy's dating history 8:00 preparing to bring out the men 8:39 bring out the men 9:17 meet the bachelors 13:29 speed dating begins 15:46 choosing the finalists 17:26 the sunflower ceremony 18:55 sandy's first 1-on-1 date 21:41 staying active as you get older 25:33 sandy's current dating life 26:18 sandy's second 1-on-1 date 26:48 photography 28:58 cooking & food 30:30 family & getting older 33:09 sandy's third 1-on-1 date 33:48 dating after divorce 35:08 experiencing life 36:09 favorite books & movies 37:27 comfort in silence 38:57 the boomerang penis 39:31 sandy's fourth 1-on-1 date 40:23 dating in LA 40:51 past relationships 42:10 clive's pasta sauce 43:33 a world of brilliance 46:43 sandy's final decision Show socials: https://www.instagram.com/friendskeepsecrets https://www.tiktok.com/@friendskeepsecrets https://www.x.com/FKSpodcast https://www.facebook.com/FriendsKeepSecrets/ https://friendskeepsecrets.com Hosts socials: www.youtube.com/@bennyblanco https://www.youtube.com/LilDickyRap https://www.instagram.com/itsbennyblanco/ https://www.instagram.com/lildickygram https://www.tiktok.com/@itsbennyblanco https://www.tiktok.com/@lildicky https://x.com/ItsBennyBlanco https://x.com/lildickytweets?lang=en https://www.facebook.com/itsbennyblanco/ https://www.facebook.com/LilDickyRap   Helix Sleep makes premium mattresses and bedding that are customized to fit your personal needs, and conveniently shipped to your door.

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!

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!     What happens:0:00 benny’s nutty professor foot 0:57 teaser 1:20 brian & kate come over 1:49 maximizing for fun vs. maximizing for longevs 4:21 a crash course in changing your life 5:31 microdosing penis pills 6:59 measuring nighttime erections 7:35 bryan’s live-streamed psilocybin experience 12:19 why bryan does this 17:08 is immortality really possible 19:56 ridding your body of all microplastics 21:34 does sex hold value 24:29 dave has a great touch 25:47 nipple rumors 26:30 sexual speed 27:05 is bryan competitive with other longevity guys 28:15 brain measurement setup 30:34 measuring dave’s brain 32:05 200 things that kill you in life 34:49 do bryan & kate ever feel like giving up 35:57 bryan doesn’t eat food from restaurants 36:50 what if humanity gets wiped out first 37:38 how bryan & kate met 39:48 how kate created bryan’s brand 41:17 how bryan & kate got together 45:54 dave & kristin’s first kiss 46:33 bryan’s sweet demeanor 48:33 kate is a masterpiece of a human 49:07 bryan before kate vs. bryan after kate 50:07 bryan’s “I just had sex with kate” tweet 50:29 being recognized 51:43 did bryan's mormonism precondition his brain 52:18 benny's willpower 52:40 therapy 54:35 has bryan got a six-pack 54:52 what about laughter 56:11 dave's brain scan results 56:58 bryan's open-mindedness 57:48 the next generation of bryan johnsons 59:44 does bryan want a cheese puff 1:01:36 top 3 things bryan misses 1:02:38 bryan's haters 1:04:33 dave shows bryan & kate a video 1:07:02 video reactions 1:08:38 ten out of ten Show socials: https://www.instagram.com/friendskeepsecrets https://www.tiktok.com/@friendskeepsecrets https://www.x.com/FKSpodcast https://www.facebook.com/FriendsKeepSecrets/ https://friendskeepsecrets.com Hosts socials: www.youtube.com/@bennyblanco https://www.youtube.com/LilDickyRap https://www.instagram.com/itsbennyblanco/ https://www.instagram.com/lildickygram https://www.tiktok.com/@itsbennyblanco https://www.tiktok.com/@lildicky https://x.com/ItsBennyBlanco https://x.com/lildickytweets?lang=en https://www.facebook.com/itsbennyblanco/ https://www.facebook.com/LilDickyRap   Offered by FanDuel Prediction Markets LLC, a registered futures commission merchant. 18+.

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. We also played rose and thorn. Thanks for watching!

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.

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!   What happens:0:00 intro 1:02 the mail 1:51 jury duty 2:57 swearing on the bible 3:47 do you believe in Gawd 5:18 disasters & tragedies 6:16 fear of dying 7:51 did God create Jupiter 8:53 do you believe in heaven 9:47 judaism 11:40 dave's fortune teller story 13:35 benny's fortune teller story 15:02 the point of life 15:37 life outside earth 16:24 reincarnation 18:00 what are we supposed to be doing 19:41 starting a cult 22:04 dave's cult pitch 23:09 kristin's cult pitch 24:07 benny's cult pitch 26:27 atoms 27:10 do plants have consciousness 27:44 do dogs have consciousness 28:06 do insects have souls 29:02 God's data center 29:41 manifesting 31:18 the spirit chief 32:15 benny's fear of flying 32:38 free will & determinism 35:37 if benny died 36:50 hope   Show socials: https://www.instagram.com/friendskeepsecrets https://www.tiktok.com/@friendskeepsecrets https://www.x.com/FKSpodcast https://www.facebook.com/FriendsKeepSecrets/ https://friendskeepsecrets.com   Hosts socials: www.youtube.com/@bennyblanco https://www.youtube.com/LilDickyRap https://www.instagram.com/itsbennyblanco/ https://www.instagram.com/lildickygram https://www.tiktok.com/@itsbennyblanco https://www.tiktok.com/@lildicky https://x.com/ItsBennyBlanco https://x.com/lildickytweets?lang=en https://www.facebook.com/itsbennyblanco/ https://www.facebook.com/LilDickyRap See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
