Today, I have an exciting announcement to share with you. 

The secret is out… Friends Keep Secrets, the very first podcast produced by Perfect Strangers, is out now!

benny blanco, Lil Dicky (Dave Burd), and Kristin Batalucco, are the hosts of Friends Keep Secrets, and they have completely reimagined what a podcast can be. 

This is not your typical podcast that’s filmed in a studio, under bright lights, in a formal sit-down interview. 

This is a first-of-its-kind show that blends podcast, streaming, and sitcom all in one. 

Friends Keep Secrets is filmed in Dave and Kristin’s home in Venice, California, where more than eighteen cameras are set up throughout the house, organically capturing how the three best friends move through the space while hanging out with their guests.

There’s no rigid format or forced scripts in Friends Keep Secrets. Just real conversation, creative energy, hilarious moments, and the unpredictable rhythm of true friendship.

You might see benny blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco cook a meal, record a song, argue about nonsense, dress up in costumes, crack joke after joke, or sit on the couch and talk about life. 

At its core, Friends Keep Secrets is focused on authentic connection, and each week you’re invited to hang out with guests like: Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Gates, Kai Cenat, Paul Rudd, Meta AI chief Alexandr Wang, and more.

I’m so excited to see this project come to life. We created Perfect Strangers to build meaningful, culture-shifting conversations, and this show captures that spirit in a way that feels fresh, captivating, and completely original.

You can find Friends Keep Secrets on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music, iHeart, Pandora, and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Today’s Wiser Choice

Try This: I want you to choose one interaction today, at work, at home, or with a friend, and try “dropping the script”.

That might mean:

  • Say how you actually feel.

  • Admit something small and real.

  • Share a random thought you’d normally filter out.

  • Ask a question you’re genuinely curious about.

Afterward, notice how it felt.

  • Did you energy shift?

  • Did you feel lighter?

  • Did the conversation feel more human?

This exercise is a reminder that not every interaction has to be polished or perfect. It’s okay to show up exactly as you are.
