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 cl

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

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

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 t

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.

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

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 wit

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

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 fo

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

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 t

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 mez

This episode might be a little shorter than you were expecting. But so is life, and that’s what you start to realize when you’re in your thirties. 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!   What happens: 0:00 intro 0:21 work crushes 2:08 freezing contest 4:31 fear of the silent moment 6:2

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 wo

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! What happens

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 o

People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2021 Paul Rudd comes over. The ageless man. America’s sweetheart. Ant-Man. Jobin. A man who has been in basically every classic comedy movie from our lifetime. We talk about acting, candy, anxiety, Marvel abs, Antiques Roadshow, whether Paul ever gets mad, and the best possible thing to say when your friend’s movie is bad. Thanks for watching. We respect you!   What happens: 0:00 intro 0:27 cracking skulls 2:56 people’s sexiest men alive 4:03 ant-man abs 5:46 candy 6:23 teeth 8:18 the ageless man 8:58 pressure to be extroverted 10:57 does paul rudd ever ge

This episode is all about fears... What would you do if an intruder invaded your home? What if your plane crashed? What if you and your partner suddenly became sexually unaligned? Would you be completely rocked? If so, this is the episode for you.

Finneas comes over and we go deeper than you're probably used to. We talk about childhood separation anxiety, songwriting with Billie, graduating a fake high school with a diploma written in ketchup, the OCD rituals Dave's parents bribed him to give up, the most time-efficient way to attain enlightenment, tofu, humanoid robots, and our weddings (past present and future). Later Finneas gets on the Wurlitzer and improvises a genuinely beautiful song about Kristin's ChatGPT habits. This man is such a musical genius it might make you mad. Thanks for watching - we respect you!  What happens: 0

Barry Keoghan comes over to hang. We talk about acting, fame, dating, social media’s impact on fame and dating, how he approaches roles, and that ending scene in Saltburn. Things get a little serious then fun as we bounce between career highs, personal life, and some questions that probably shouldn’t be asked but are asked anyway. Thanks for watching – we respect you!   What happens: 0:00 freestyle 1:00 tasty surprise 2:07 Barry arrives 3:34 public commentary 7:34 relationship in the public eye 12:34 skin condition 14:40 addiction and sobriety 15:25 near-death experience 18:30 bunch

Viewer discretion is advised.   Wiz Khalifa comes over for a very special 4/20 episode! We talk about what people actually call him in real life, his face tattoos, and how he became one of the most recognizable rappers in music. Things get young, wild and free as we discuss raising kids, the blog era of hip hop, rap beef, and clenching vs pushing at the climax of you-know-what. Thanks for watching - we re

Maybe we got overconfident after inventing this brand new form of multimedia entertainment. We thought coming up with another genius invention would be easy for us but we realized we don't know anything and we don't know how to do anything. Have you ever tried to be inventive? It's harder than it looks. Oh - but Dave does a full-on freestyle and at least he’s good at that. Thanks for watching - inventors and non-inventors, we respect you!   What happens: 00:00 Layup Line Freestyle 03:49 Intro 04:17 Who invented the dental floss toothpick 05:24 Dental dams 07:38 Do you think we could inv

Nick Kroll comes over to hang. We talk about how Nick became a pillar of the comedy landscape. We talk about Big Mouth, fashion, Jeremy Allen White's belly button, getting pantsed in 7th grade, whether Dave feels competitive towards Nick, Benny's wedding force field, and Dave and Benny's 2 biggest fights of all time. Later, we draw Dave's d*ck. Thanks for watching - we respect you!   What happens: 0:00 Intro 0:24 $100 smoothie 2:14 Immersive experience at Mel’s diner 3:16 Abs 5:07 The comedy movie of your life 6:13 Nick’s family 7:20 One of the leads 8:20 Creative origins 9:31 High

Lizzo comes over. We talk about Prince, losing our virginities, winning Grammy's, the best and worst days of Lizzo's life, idolizing Allen Iverson, and holding in farts. At one point Lizzo shows us her flautist skills and scores our fake movie trailers. Then we freestyle and things get very inappropriate so probably don't watch this with your parents! Unless you have that kind of relationship I guess. Thanks for watching - we respect you!   What happens: 00:00 Intro 01:43 Germs 02:31 Fart gender dynamics 03:24 Half Detroit half Houston 04:27 The coolest voice 05:04 Mike Jones’ phone nu

Kevin Gates comes by and hangs for a while. We talk about discipline, relationships, energy, and the mindset he tries to live by. It goes from funny to serious and back again pretty quickly.

Ed Sheeran stops by the house to talk about how he met Dave, being clumsy, sailing across the ocean with Benny, whether his kids know he’s Ed Sheeran yet, his Game of Thrones backlash, and how he acquired the Edward Scissorhands hands. Later he writes a song with all of us. It’s a really special moment. Thanks for watching!   What happens: 00:00 Teaser 00:34 What's this Chuck stuff 02:01 How Dave met Ed 03:48 Exercise & personal hygiene 06:24 Ed's clumsiness 09:26 English food vs American food 10:58 Ed's town 15:20 Creepy baby 17:28 Ed & Benny on the boat 18:19 Fame 27:07 Anxiety

We tried to write a proper description for this and couldn’t decide on what all to highlight so here’s a bunch. Selena comes over. At some point we decide to go through her DMs. We talk about her mental health. We get into her’s and Benny’s wedding. We talk about Taylor and the insanely thoughtful gift she gave Selena. There’s basketball. There are multiple arm wrestling contests with surprising end results. Selena bonks her head at one point. No one edits it out. It’s just us hanging out with our friend (and spouse). That’s really it. Thanks for watching, we appreciate you!!   What happens:

We’ve been writing this description for 15 minutes and haven’t made any real progress. It’s not even we, it’s just Dave here. All I can tell you guys, is that I’ve never had more fun doing anything in my life than when we’re recording these. Are we fun to hang out with? Who knows. All we can do is be our complete selves, live in the moment, and see what happens. Thank you for your time.
