  1. The Colman Domingo Episode

    Show notes

    Colman Domingo came over to our house. The first thing you learn about him is that he goes for the embrace. It’s a Philly thing. This man is truly West Philadelphia, born and raised, to a level where he literally went to high school with Will Smith. He is also a true actor’s actor. He’s the most fashionable man. He’s Mr. Vacation. He’s 56 and looks 38. We want to know how to look like him. We want to know how he transforms into an entirely different human being right in front of your eyes. We want to know, would he wear a fat suit or gain the weight for real? We want to know whether he considers Dave a historical figure. In short, we want to know everything about this fascinating man. Thanks for watching us learn about the craft of acting from Colman. We respect you!

  2. The Halloween Episode

    Show notes

    It’s Halloween. This year, why don’t we be each other? I am you, you are her, she is me. Today we each take a crack at being the other two and quickly discover two things: 1. Kristin is a secret genius at doing impressions and 2. unshackled by the burdens of being ourselves, all three of us are willing to say things that we may never be able to take back. And in a way, isn’t the unfiltered honesty of your best friends sometimes the scariest thing of all? If that doesn’t scare you, this episode has also got needles, razorblades in candy, the actual witches who may or may not have lived in Dave’s hometown, Benny’s OCD childhood obsession with Austin Powers, and an ending that some would consider truly shameful. Happy Halloween and thanks for watching. We respect you!

  3. The Adam Scott Episode

    Show notes

    Adam Scott is a man who pulls off comedy and drama at a level that’s so high it’s unbelievable. Well, today he came over and he really left his mark. For starters he has a calm energy that gave us a calm energy, which gave Reggie a calm energy. And he sits in a way that no guest on this show ever has, which was thrilling. Along the way we learn whether he carries existential dread, how he and Ben Stiller linked up, and challenge him to a folding competition. He also takes us through the whole timeline of his friendship with Paul Rudd, whether his kids can beat him up, and what it was like being a struggling actor for 15 years balancing on dental floss. At the end he puts 5 drops of medicine in Dave’s ear. Thanks for watching us hang out with Adam Scott! We respect you!

  4. The Keke Palmer Episode

    Show notes

    Keke Palmer has range, and we’re not just talking about acting. Her taste in men goes from Michael Jordan to Adam Sandler. She can talk cognitive profiles, food deserts, shower sex, motherhood. She’s doing Pilates in the morning, and at night men are trying to flirt with her by biting the back of her head as their opening move. Actually she’s in school to become a Pilates instructor, which is good news for Dave who has recently been grappling with a glitch in his pelvic system. We also learn the shocking revelation that Pilates is named after a man named Joseph Pilates, which you have to admit is a very good last name for the thing. We love Keke. We love Lauren.

  6. The Bethenny Frankel Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  7. The GaTa Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  8. The Benny’s Mom Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  9. The Gwyneth Paltrow Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  10. The Julia Louis-Dreyfus Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  11. The Bryan Johnson & Kate Tolo Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  12. The Jake Shane Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  13. The Mystery Guest Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  14. The Spirituality Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  15. The Kenny G Episode

    Show notes

    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.

  16. The Lil Wayne Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  17. The Matty Matheson Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  18. The Hunter Biden Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  19. The Blake Griffin Episode

    Show notes

    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!

  20. The Breaking Bad Episode

    Show notes

    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!
