  The Jake Shane Episode

  Aug 18, 202655 min

  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! We respect you!    What happens: 0:00 intro 0:22 excited for shane 3:05 jake's here 3:33 hitting a pitch perfect note 3:55 jake's past with octopus 4:50 philly people 5:26 dave tastes his first tentacle 6:39 judging books by their covers 8:22 jake's dating life 9:12 dave wants to talk about being gay 10:37 top & bottom personalities 11:38 guess our sexual preferences 14:20 jake's dream man 15:15 the worst date jake had in LA 16:10 jake's best recent date 17:04 perfect man criteria 17:44 jake's double date 19:16 when jake interviewed selena 20:08 jake's dream guests 20:31 jake's confidence isn't real 21:20 are dave & benny sensitive 22:41 does jake read the comments 24:20 does benny watch himself 25:29 we're all gonna die 26:02 twink demon labubu 29:11 lebron, thank you 30:21 jake's perfect night out 35:04 jake's audition 36:48 jake's OCD 38:37 benny's OCD 43:10 adderall 44:12 dave's OCD 44:38 kristin's OCD 45:36 what color would jake say his hair is 48:53 vanity confessions 49:34 d**k made of nuts 50:32 roses & thorns & buds 53:31 actual friends   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.

  The Mystery Guest Episode

  Aug 11, 202650 min

  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!   What happens: 0:00 intro 0:26 searching for our mystery guest 3:20 dealing with rejection 5:05 meeting our mystery guest 5:33 convincing our mystery guest 6:14 welcome to home 6:45 who do you trust the least 8:04 making music with her best friend 10:17 LA film school 10:35 how natasha got into music 13:49 how natasha met bex 14:22 facetiming bex 15:44 we found the right people 16:18 what songs should we play 17:13 "blessed" world premiere 20:47 what to do with your body when you listen to music 21:35 "blessed" feedback 22:04 "dirty dishes" world premiere 24:09 "dirty dishes" feedback 25:12 what's the gameplan 26:36 best day of natasha's life 28:06 worst day of natasha's life 31:02 LA to oklahoma 32:04 kevin durant encounters 33:36 kristin's ideal celebrity acknowledgment 34:28 erykah badu acknowledgment 35:05 texting with andré 3000 36:38 hair talk 39:42 dave's old rapper voice 41:02 the first song dave ever put out 42:42 dave's music evolution 43:50 the universe aligned 44:36 handsomeness debate 45:50 we picked the right stranger 46:56 if natasha had the instacart order 48:32 group hug   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.

  The Spirituality Episode

  Aug 4, 202638 min

  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.

  The Kenny G Episode

  Jul 28, 202644 min

  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!   What happens: 0:00 intro 0:58 is kenny g's hair still good 1:50 smooth jazz impact 2:35 how kenny's first song blew up 3:47 the only guy who reminds dave of himself 4:18 explaining dave to kenny 5:20 explaining kristin to kenny 5:57 explaining benny to kenny 6:57 kenny's starbucks money 8:28 chatgbt 9:09 being called a dick for being factual 12:10 hoarding discontinued hair cream 14:04 kenny's hair commercial idea 14:55 kenny takes friendship slow 15:51 why rappers are ahead of the beat  17:41 practicing 3 hours every day 18:49 why kenny hates recording 20:16 the pressure to never miss 20:53 the best part of being friends with benny 22:21 kenny moistens the reed 23:27 is kenny addicted to practicing 27:21 is kenny the best in the world 27:37 organizing for fun 28:36 does kenny like stone 29:00 saxophone seduction 29:30 circular breathing 31:30 dave's h*tler d*ck 33:28 planning a future dinner 33:54 putting with kenny 35:09 super bowl commercial 35:28 dave burd, idea man 36:05 does kenny still get recognized 36:43 people magazine's sexiest man 37:24 is benny so ugly he's hot 38:29 being best friends with your best friend's partner 39:15 is kenny having fun 40:19 does kenny have a chip on his shoulder 41:23 do we stew 42:56 hashiba’s sax 43:23 does kenny listen to rap   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   Thank you KFC for sponsoring this episode: Prices and participation may vary, while supplies last.

  The Lil Wayne Episode

  Jul 21, 20261h 2m

  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!   What happens: 0:00 intro 0:25 waiting for wayne 0:58 wayne arrives 1:40 has wayne ever sat when he rapped 2:23 getting signed at 11 5:31 benny's first mentor 6:18 being a recording artist while still in school 7:40 becoming a dad at 14 9:07 wayne's first car 9:21 wayne's second car 12:13 watching his son become a rapper 13:23 recording songs in jail 14:28 was jail ever scary 16:05 ancient aliens & the age of disclosure 17:03 j-rod the roswell alien 19:57 would you trade your life for all the answers 21:09 wayne doesn't sleep 22:42 how wayne takes a vacation 24:19 does wayne get anxiety 25:50 ideal sleep temperatures 26:33 the sixth sense 27:37 haunted hotel 28:41 wayne's diet 32:43 has wayne always felt like the chosen one 33:04 how wayne picks songs 33:40 influences 35:28 wayne's favorite rappers 36:55 signing drake 37:47 signing nicki minaj 39:28 how wayne approaches a feature 40:12 who decides what's a hit 41:19 the first big lil 43:25 did wayne ever get starstruck 44:55 meeting lebron at 16 46:09 wayne's obama speech shout-out 46:50 performing at the white house 47:29 forgetting the words 48:19 performing in saudi arabia 50:16 crowd surfing strategies 51:19 hospitalized by eric andre 54:14 skate tricks 55:56 getting your voice to cut through 57:00 doing every beat in the pack 57:51 how wayne builds a verse 59:50 the year wayne became the best 1:01:03 did wayne invent bling bling 1:01:25 the intersection of lyricism and swag   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   Thank you KFC for sponsoring this episode: Prices and participation may vary, while supplies last.
