    The Lil Wayne Episode

    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.

  2. The Kenny G Episode

    The Kenny G Episode

    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 Matty Matheson Episode

    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.

    The Halsey Episode

    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 of. You’ve been warned. Thanks for watching us talk to Ash.

On today’s episode of On Purpose, Jay sits down with global superstar Selena Gomez and acclaimed music producer Benny Blanco where they share their love story like they never have before. They open up about their personal journey—one that didn’t start with an immediate spark. Their story is full of humor, mixed signals, and that moment when it all clicked. Benny once thought Selena didn’t like him, while Selena, protecting her heart, kept her distance. But as their friendship grew, they built something real—a relationship rooted in trust, respect, open communication, and always supporting each other. Their story is a true testament that love unfolds when the timing is right. Together, Jay, Selena, and Benny reflect on the power of embracing love, letting go of past fears, and choosing a partner who helps you grow. Their journey serves as a beautiful reminder that love often comes when you least expect it—but when it’s right, you’ll know. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Build a Strong Friendship Before Dating How to Communicate Openly in a Relationship How to Maintain Trust in a Long-Distance Relationship How to Support Your Partner’s Emotional Needs How to Balance a Busy Career with a Healthy Relationship Selena and Benny’s story reminds us that true love isn’t defined by grand gestures or perfection—it’s about finding someone who sees you for who you are, supports you through life’s challenges, and makes even the simplest moments feel special.

    BENNY BLANCO, DAVE BURD & KRISTIN BATALUCCO: Friends Keep Secrets… Or Do They? (Friendship, Weddings, Love)

    Today, Jay sits down with Benny Blanco, Dave Burd, and Kristin Batalucco for a first-of-its-kind conversation - three best friends building something together in real time. They talk about what that really looks like: how friendship changes when work gets involved, how marriage fits into ambition, where insecurity still shows up, and how messy it can be to create with people you genuinely love. Dave and Kristin tell the story of meeting at a bowling alley and how they almost got in their own way at the beginning. Benny opens up about what it was like to chase success for years and what shifted when he realized it wasn’t giving him what he thought it would. It’s funny, and honest, and gives you a real sense of who they are with each other, not just as collaborators, but as friends figuring life out together. With Jay's guidance they open up about commitment anxiety, the courage it takes to be emotionally direct, and the power of choosing your partner not playing games, not waiting to be chosen, but stepping forward with clarity. Kristen shares what it means to battle self-doubt while stepping into the public eye. Dave opens up about perfectionism and the tension between ambition and contentment. Benny reflects on how success once held him in a chokehold and how love reshaped his priorities. Together, they reveal that the healthiest relationships aren’t built on avoiding conflict, but on being able to argue passionately and return to love just as quickly. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Be Honest About What You Want in Love How to Stop Playing Dating Games How to Turn Conflict Into Deeper Connection How to Support Your Partner’s Ambition Without Competing How to Work With Friends Without Ruining the Friendship How to Fall in Love With New Versions of Your Partner The strongest connections aren’t built by people who never argue, they’re built by people who know how to come back to each other after they do. Keep choosing openness. Keep choosing courage. Keep choosing each other.  With Love and Gratitude, Jay Shetty JAY’S DAILY WISDOM DELIVERED STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX Join 900,000+ readers discovering how small daily shifts create big life change with my free newsletter.
