BENNY BLANCO, LIL DICKY, KRISTIN Reveal This Fact About Their Weddings (Nobody Knows This)

Jay Shetty 0:00 Friends on Purpose on three.

Benny Blanco 0:01 One, two, three. Friends on Purpose! [laughs]

Jay Shetty 0:04 I thought you thought that was being loser-ish.

Lil Dicky 0:06 I do.

Jay Shetty 0:06 Yeah, right.

Lil Dicky 0:07 [laughs] We just are born to be best friends. Me and Benny met at this Mexican restaurant and-

Benny Blanco 0:14 He said, "What can you bring to the table?"

Lil Dicky 0:16 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 0:16 And I was like, "What?" [laughs]

Lil Dicky 0:18 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 0:19 I thought, he's so sweet and he's so himself. And he told me a story that lasted 40 minutes.

Lil Dicky 0:23 The story was about me pooping my pants.

Kristin Batalucco 0:25 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 0:25 And you chose that because?

Lil Dicky 0:27 It's my funniest, best story.

Jay Shetty 0:28 [laughs] What was your favorite thing about Benny and Selena's wedding?

Kristin Batalucco 0:32 Dave officiated.

Lil Dicky 0:33 To see Benny break. When Selena, when the curtain got revealed and she, his face was like ...

Jay Shetty 0:38 [laughs] Benny, Dave, Kristin, welcome to On Purpose.

Lil Dicky 0:45 Hey, Jay.

Benny Blanco 0:46 Hi. [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 0:48 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 0:48 Benny, come on. Come on.

Lil Dicky 0:50 Hey.

Jay Shetty 0:52 [laughs] Did, you know what? This is the first time we've had three people on the show together.

Lil Dicky 0:55 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 0:55 First ever time.

Lil Dicky 0:56 Did you know that?

Jay Shetty 0:57 This is the first time-

Benny Blanco 0:57 I did now

Jay Shetty 0:57 ... someone has come on their own with their fiance, then wife, and now with their best friends.

Lil Dicky 1:03 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:03 Aw.

Jay Shetty 1:03 So we've never done that before either.

Lil Dicky 1:05 Mm-hmm.

Jay Shetty 1:05 So Benny, you're-

Benny Blanco 1:05 I'm breaking all sorts of records.

Jay Shetty 1:07 You're breaking all sorts of records. You're competing with Michelle Obama, who's been on the show twice. You've been on three times. This is your third time, so. Dave, I'm a huge fan.

Lil Dicky 1:15 Thank you.

Jay Shetty 1:15 Always have been.

Lil Dicky 1:16 Right back at you.

Jay Shetty 1:16 I told you that the first time I met you.

Lil Dicky 1:18 I, I, I've known you for maybe under a year, but I love you.

Jay Shetty 1:21 Oh, thank you. And I-

Lil Dicky 1:22 It's been, ever since I've met you, I've loved you.

Jay Shetty 1:24 Wow, I appreciate that.

Lil Dicky 1:24 Yeah, I do. Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:25 That's-

Benny Blanco 1:25 Notice how he doesn't say it back.

Lil Dicky 1:27 I know he loves me.

Benny Blanco 1:28 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:28 Yes.

Lil Dicky 1:28 But, but-

Jay Shetty 1:28 I said it already.

Lil Dicky 1:29 Yeah, you sa- He just said it. He did say it.

Benny Blanco 1:30 Oh, he did?

Jay Shetty 1:30 Yeah. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 1:31 I was caught up in his eyes.

Lil Dicky 1:32 Yeah, yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:32 It's very hard, very hard to look.

Jay Shetty 1:34 And Kristin, I've become a huge fan of you. I can't believe that.

Kristin Batalucco 1:37 I'm glad.

Jay Shetty 1:38 Are you a fan of me?

Kristin Batalucco 1:38 I'm glad. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:39 We're here.

Kristin Batalucco 1:39 I'm glad that you still like me. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:42 [laughs] But honestly, the, guys, this is awesome. It's so great to have all

Jay Shetty 1:45 three of you in the room. I, I actually wanna know how you all three met, 'cause I have no idea. I don't think I've ever asked you that before.

Lil Dicky 1:51 Well, I, I guess I'm the glue between the two of the three. You know, I met Benny, he basically, from the day I put any music out, he ... Actually, the first day I released anything, he tweeted, like, something, uh, positive about me.

Jay Shetty 2:06 Wow.

Lil Dicky 2:07 Yeah, so he, like, it was, you know, what a first day to have a guy like him reach out.

Benny Blanco 2:11 Yeah, it was.

Lil Dicky 2:12 And then I, yeah, I, like, said something. We, like, kind of communicated back and forth a little bit and then we almost saw each other at one of my concerts, so we didn't really hang out. And then I don't ... The first time we met-

Benny Blanco 2:21 No, we don't know

Lil Dicky 2:22 ... we don't know for sure when the very fir- We can't place it. My memory of, like, the first, uh, real memory I have is we met at this, uh, Mexican restaurant, and I think he was maybe trying to sign me or maybe just trying to explain the value that he could add to my life and my career, and I really didn't see any value-added potential.

Benny Blanco 2:45 [laughs] That's what he said.

Kristin Batalucco 2:45 It was like a date?

Jay Shetty 2:46 Did he, did you say that to him on the-

Lil Dicky 2:47 No, he s-

Benny Blanco 2:47 He s- yeah, he said, he said, "Well, w- w- what, what can you bring to the table?"

Lil Dicky 2:51 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 2:51 And I was like, "What?"

Lil Dicky 2:53 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 2:53 That was, like, his first thing he said to me.

Lil Dicky 2:55 Now in hindsight, I was totally wrong.

Jay Shetty 2:56 Yeah. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 2:57 "What can I bring to the table?"

Lil Dicky 2:58 He brings everything.

Benny Blanco 2:59 Best friend.

Lil Dicky 3:00 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 3:00 All of your-

Lil Dicky 3:00 He brings everything

Benny Blanco 3:01 ... nightlife, everything, music.

Jay Shetty 3:02 Wait, so how did you win him over? How did you win him over?

Lil Dicky 3:05 Just proof in the pudding I think.

Benny Blanco 3:06 Yeah. I think it was instant.

Lil Dicky 3:07 Also, independent of our respective talents merging and being able to add to each other's talent careers, we would be best friends if we were, like, in Arkansas and we both were plumbers, you know what I mean?

Jay Shetty 3:17 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 3:17 Like, we just are born to be best friends. And then I met Kristin years later, and then they met because-

Jay Shetty 3:24 Wait, wait, wait. I wanna know how you guys met.

Benny Blanco 3:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't just gloss over Kristin.

Lil Dicky 3:26 I wasn't glasses then.

Jay Shetty 3:27 Yeah, yeah. That's an important detail.

Kristin Batalucco 3:27 I thought, yeah.

Lil Dicky 3:28 I wasn't.

Kristin Batalucco 3:28 You tell, you tell the story.

Lil Dicky 3:30 I met Kristin years later, uh, bowling alley. A writer on my TV show, Vanessa, kind of set us up, and Kristin didn't know that I was going to more or less-

Kristin Batalucco 3:42 Scout me

Lil Dicky 3:43 ... scout her.

Kristin Batalucco 3:43 I was being scouted that night.

Jay Shetty 3:44 As a romantic.

Lil Dicky 3:45 Wow.

Jay Shetty 3:45 Not, not for the show.

Lil Dicky 3:46 No, for life.

Kristin Batalucco 3:47 No, like as a romantic partner.

Jay Shetty 3:48 Wow.

Lil Dicky 3:49 I always told Vanessa, 'cause I love this woman Vanessa, who's one of the main writers on my show, and she's a great person. I always said, "Keep it..." 'Cause I was just a hopeless romantic, single guy for, like, a decade, and I would say, "Don't you have any friends? Don't you know anybody?" And then she would say, "Uh, yeah, I'm looking around." And then Kristin had been in a relationship for pretty much her whole life, and then she kind of got-

Kristin Batalucco 4:07 Separate ones

Lil Dicky 4:07 ... single for, like, a three-week period. And then Vanessa was bowling with her, and she realized, "Oh my God, Dave." And then she texted me while she was at the alley being like, "Hey, I don't know what you're doing." It was like 10:00 PM, and she was like, "I don't know what you're doing, but I'm with someone who might be your wife." And I dropped everything I was doing-

Jay Shetty 4:25 Wow

Lil Dicky 4:25 ... and immediately went over there late, joined them late. They were already done bowling by the time I got there, so I got to take everyone's turn. And then we just started talking about nachos.

Benny Blanco 4:33 Didn't you bowl a strike?

Kristin Batalucco 4:34 Bowled a strike.

Lil Dicky 4:34 I bowled, I bowled a strike. First thing I did, I bowled a strike. Like, that was my first-

Jay Shetty 4:37 Wow. How did you pull that out of the ... Yeah.

Lil Dicky 4:38 I just am a good athlete. High level athlete.

Kristin Batalucco 4:40 I didn't see it, though.

Jay Shetty 4:41 Oh, you didn't see it?

Kristin Batalucco 4:41 I didn't see it.

Jay Shetty 4:42 How?

Kristin Batalucco 4:42 So I, I think I was doing my own thing.

Lil Dicky 4:44 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 4:44 Chatting up the group.

Lil Dicky 4:45 Yeah, she was doing her own thing. Then, then we started talking about, uh ... I remember one of the first things I said to her were like, "What are those?" And I pointed to a plate of nachos. And she said, "Those are nachos." And I said, "I know. I'm just making small talk." [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 5:00 I liked that.

Lil Dicky 5:01 It was-

Kristin Batalucco 5:01 I thought that was such a good, like, uh, intro.

Lil Dicky 5:03 Yeah. And then-

Benny Blanco 5:04 That was his first intro?

Kristin Batalucco 5:05 Like, it was ... Yeah. I mean, he sat down next to me and said, "What are those?" And I liked that he was like, "I'm just making small talk." I feel like it was, like, the intro into his personality.

Benny Blanco 5:14 And you were trying. That was on purpose.

Lil Dicky 5:15 Oh, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 5:15 Were you trying?

Lil Dicky 5:16 Oh, yeah. Instantly I saw her and I was like, "Oh my God, Vanessa, good call."

Kristin Batalucco 5:19 Well, no, you said you didn't like it 'cause I was wearing glasses.

Lil Dicky 5:21 I said it wasn't love at first sight.

Jay Shetty 5:23 I was gonna ask, was it an instant connection for both of you?

Lil Dicky 5:25 Because she was wearing these big glasses, so I couldn't see her face.

Jay Shetty 5:28 I don't think I've ever seen you in glasses.

Lil Dicky 5:29 Yeah, she doesn't often wear glasses.

Kristin Batalucco 5:30 I was going through a lot.

Lil Dicky 5:31 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 5:31 And I was wearing the same clothes for like two weeks straight, and this was my first venture out.

Lil Dicky 5:36 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 5:36 Not shades, like-

Kristin Batalucco 5:37 No, they were like re- Because it was ... I think I drove there. Yeah, I, I ro-

Lil Dicky 5:40 Yeah, 'cause you drove me home.

Kristin Batalucco 5:41 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 5:42 'Cause she was, she never lives in Venice or lived in Venice, and I was living in Venice, and she happened to be staying in an Airbnb for that week in Venice, so it only made sense for her to be like, "Can I get a ride home?"

Jay Shetty 5:52 Wow.

Lil Dicky 5:52 So then I had like an extra 40-minute ride where we just talked.

Kristin Batalucco 5:55 No, he, he told me a story that-

Lil Dicky 5:56 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 5:57 ... lasted 40 minutes.

Benny Blanco 5:58 Really? What was the story?

Kristin Batalucco 5:59 I thought, he's so sweet and he's so himself, and I was, like, I was really happy to-I felt like you had such an ease to you that was rare. Like, you were really willing to be, like, um, vulnerable.

Lil Dicky 6:11 Mm.

Kristin Batalucco 6:11 But I also was like, "This story's very long." It's like a f-

Lil Dicky 6:13 The story is about me pooping my pants.

Kristin Batalucco 6:15 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 6:15 And you chose that because-

Lil Dicky 6:16 It's my best... It's my funniest, best story.

Kristin Batalucco 6:18 But it was, like, him talking the enti- the entire drive.

Benny Blanco 6:20 So you practiced it before.

Lil Dicky 6:20 It's, like, a 15-minute story.

Benny Blanco 6:22 Rehearsed.

Lil Dicky 6:22 And I was like, "Yeah, I've said it so many times." And then ironically, I believe that you guys probably met for the first time-

Kristin Batalucco 6:28 At a bowling alley

Lil Dicky 6:29 ... at a bowling alley. Because ri- remember right before-

Kristin Batalucco 6:31 Yeah

Lil Dicky 6:31 ... remember for my TV show premiere, season one, I had all my friends come in from out of town, and we all met at the bowling alley the one time, and Kristin was there, and I was like, "Don't make it that... Like, don't say anything that I don't want you to say." Remember that?

Benny Blanco 6:45 N- y- e- uh-

Lil Dicky 6:46 Okay.

Benny Blanco 6:46 Maybe. I remember two-

Lil Dicky 6:47 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 6:47 I remember two times specifically. I remember once, like, in the very beginning of their relationship. I remember once after your actual premiere and we, like, all walked up to my house.

Lil Dicky 6:59 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 6:59 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 6:59 I remember that time, and I remember, like, in, in that time being like, "This girl's really cool." I was like, like, nothing, not thinking, like-

Lil Dicky 7:07 That was your first impression when he's like-

Kristin Batalucco 7:09 That I was cool

Lil Dicky 7:09 ... "Meet my girlfriend."

Benny Blanco 7:10 No, no, no, no. They... It was not his girlfriend.

Lil Dicky 7:12 Oh, it was not?

Benny Blanco 7:12 It was a girl he was like-

Kristin Batalucco 7:14 I wasn't?

Benny Blanco 7:14 No, not then.

Lil Dicky 7:14 No, it was the beginning. It was a model.

Kristin Batalucco 7:15 I was like, in my mind I was his girlfriend.

Benny Blanco 7:16 Okay.

Lil Dicky 7:16 In, in your mind it was official.

Kristin Batalucco 7:17 Yeah. I'm, I was, I was the girlfriend.

Benny Blanco 7:17 And then-

Lil Dicky 7:18 Now you're fin- Is this the first time you're finding out about this? [laughs]

Benny Blanco 7:20 No. And then the turning point really in their relationship I think was that night at, like, our birthday party. That was like, that was... I remember it so clearly. Le- I do, I do. I remember-

Lil Dicky 7:34 Was that what it was for you, Kristin?

Kristin Batalucco 7:36 Uh...

Lil Dicky 7:36 You remember it differently.

Benny Blanco 7:37 It's a bad memory.

Kristin Batalucco 7:38 It was a, it was a, it wasn't

Kristin Batalucco 7:40 the best... You weren't the, you weren't, like, exhibiting the best behavior.

Lil Dicky 7:44 No, I was lashing out. Do you wanna hear what happened, Jay? [laughs]

Benny Blanco 7:46 Please. I do wanna hear what happened. Thank you.

Lil Dicky 7:49 We, it was r- we met in, like, January 31st. We had our birthday party, like, six weeks later. We have joint birthday parties every year, and look, what I'm about to say is pathetic, but they really were, like, the Super Bowl of, like, being a single man.

Benny Blanco 8:06 Right.

Lil Dicky 8:06 Like, i- i- I never would even have a bir- I never would even throw myself a birthday party if it weren't for Benny. So now all of a sudden every year I'm having, like, the most upscale birthday parties planned by him completely where all these people and women come-

Kristin Batalucco 8:20 Lots of women

Lil Dicky 8:21 ... and they know it's, like-

Kristin Batalucco 8:22 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 8:23 ... my party, and, like, so there's just this built-in icebreaker where, like, people wanna come up to me and talk to me. And I just had this feeling that we were gonna start dating, and I, you know, if you know me, you know that I have trouble, like, wrapping my head around, uh, not necessarily commitment, but just, like, I'm a turn over every stone kind of guy-

Benny Blanco 8:42 Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

Lil Dicky 8:42 ... in everything I do. And it really f-

Kristin Batalucco 8:44 The stone was here

Lil Dicky 8:44 ... stone was right there.

Kristin Batalucco 8:45 There was nothing else to turn over. [laughs]

Lil Dicky 8:47 Now, as I continue to tell this story, I want you to know that I'm ashamed of my behavior.

Benny Blanco 8:50 Go ahead.

Lil Dicky 8:50 This is not something that I'm proud of. But I think I just knew that we were going to end up dating and... But it was too early to be... Like, I didn't have to commit yet, to be quite honest, which is a really misogynistic thing to say. And I knew that I didn't have to commit, and I also knew my days were numbered of, of having romantic freedom because I felt like I was about to be totally in a committed relationship. And I think, I don't know, I just kind of, like, overreacted and, but for whatever reason I went into the night being like, "I'm not committed to Kristin tonight. We're not, I'm not necessarily going home with Kristin tonight. I'm gonna do my own thing."

Kristin Batalucco 9:23 But can I... 'Cause I, 'cause I didn't do a- You're making it seem like I went in there being like-

Lil Dicky 9:26 No

Kristin Batalucco 9:26 ... we have to be, we're married.

Lil Dicky 9:28 No, she didn't do any of that.

Benny Blanco 9:28 I'd like to hear Kristin.

Lil Dicky 9:29 Yes. Yeah, please.

Kristin Batalucco 9:30 I went in there with, like, I think there was, like, seven of girlfriends of mine, and I played it so... Like, I don't like to play it cool. It's very hard for me to play it cool.

Lil Dicky 9:39 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 9:39 I'm glad that Benny thought I was cool when he first met me, but that's not me.

Benny Blanco 9:41 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 9:41 Um, and so I was like, "Okay. Well, this is fun. I like a party. I'm just gonna be, like, free and not expect anything from him." So I didn't all night, and then as the night came to an end, it was kind of like, well, we all know the expectation that we're gonna, like, hang out if we haven't hung out yet. And he just had such a, like, um, you had such a-

Lil Dicky 10:01 Of winning

Kristin Batalucco 10:01 ... I knew exactly what he was doing. Like, I could sense what he was doing, and then I think I was like, "Well, this is lame." And then it got into a little bit of a, like, I would say at the end-

Lil Dicky 10:12 A flirt battle.

Benny Blanco 10:13 I'd, I'd, I'd like to interject here.

Lil Dicky 10:14 [laughs] A flirt battle with him.

Benny Blanco 10:15 I'd li- I'd like to, I'd li- I'd like to interject.

Lil Dicky 10:17 But she started talking to other guys in front of him.

Kristin Batalucco 10:18 Because he was talking to other girls.

Benny Blanco 10:19 I'd, I, I would like to interject at this moment.

Kristin Batalucco 10:21 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 10:21 There was a flirt battle going on back and forth, and it was, like, so strange. It was like, yeah. It was, like, so strange and, and childish in the moment. And-

Lil Dicky 10:32 It's like a scene out of a movie.

Kristin Batalucco 10:33 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 10:34 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 10:34 And we were in such a small area, 'cause now it was, like, the after party. It was, like, such a, like, it, it was, like, 50 people total. And I remember going to the bathroom. There was, like, a communal bathroom you go into, and I was, like, with Dave and, and we were drunk. And, and he was just like-

Kristin Batalucco 10:54 What'd he say?

Benny Blanco 10:55 He was talking about how this was, like, one of the best nights of his life, and he was like... No, he was-

Lil Dicky 10:59 Wait, is this the first time you're hearing this story?

Kristin Batalucco 11:00 Well, I have a-

Benny Blanco 11:01 No, she's not. She's seen it

Kristin Batalucco 11:01 ... sometimes I forget the details.

Benny Blanco 11:03 And then ba-

Kristin Batalucco 11:03 It was a, it was a sad time

Benny Blanco 11:04 ... basically-

Kristin Batalucco 11:05 But not really

Benny Blanco 11:06 ... he was-

Kristin Batalucco 11:07 It wasn't that sad.

Lil Dicky 11:08 It wasn't. It had a happy ending.

Kristin Batalucco 11:08 Happy ending.

Benny Blanco 11:08 In the moment-

Lil Dicky 11:09 Even that night

Benny Blanco 11:10 ... she was talking about, like, leaving and, like, before we went into the bathroom, and she was, like, visibly upset at this.

Lil Dicky 11:16 She was about to leave.

Benny Blanco 11:17 She was-

Lil Dicky 11:17 She might have even have just l- just walked out.

Benny Blanco 11:19 Ye- yeah, she did.

Lil Dicky 11:20 And I was like, "Okay."

Benny Blanco 11:21 And there was, like, there was, like, maybe-

Lil Dicky 11:22 You didn't run after her

Benny Blanco 11:23 ... I don't remember if it-

Kristin Batalucco 11:24 No, I didn't run after her

Benny Blanco 11:24 ... I don't remember if there was tears or anything, but yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 11:26 There were tears, but no one saw them, so that-

Benny Blanco 11:27 And then-

Kristin Batalucco 11:27 ... that's the tidbit that I'm providing

Benny Blanco 11:30 ... so, so she walks out, and I remember talking to Dave and I was like, "Dave." I was like, "What are you doing?" I was like, "She's so cool. She's beautiful." And I wa- And, and yeah, it was like his sentiment was kinda like the, what he was saying, where he's like, "What if there's more? Like, I'm so..." Like, he was like, "I'm about to-"

Lil Dicky 11:48 By the way, this is all the owners-

Kristin Batalucco 11:50 What if there's more? [laughs]

Benny Blanco 11:50 No, no.

Lil Dicky 11:51 That, that was... Everything he just said was the subtext, but really all you said, I remember specifically you were like, "I don't know." You were like, "I kinda like Batalucco."

Benny Blanco 11:59 Yeah, that's... Well, and then-

Lil Dicky 12:00 That's, that's all he had to say

Benny Blanco 12:01 ... well, and then, and then-

Lil Dicky 12:02 That's Kristin's last name right there

Benny Blanco 12:03 ... yeah, and then at the end I was like-

Kristin Batalucco 12:04 That's me

Benny Blanco 12:04 ... I was like, "I don't..." I was like, I was like, "I don't know, Chuck. Like, I really, I like Batalucco."

Lil Dicky 12:10 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 12:10 And then-

Lil Dicky 12:12 And then I called her

Kristin Batalucco 12:13 And then he called her and then-

Lil Dicky 12:14 She was like one foot in the car

Kristin Batalucco 12:15 Yeah

Lil Dicky 12:15 And then she turned around

Kristin Batalucco 12:15 It was like out of a movie.

Lil Dicky 12:16 It was

Jay Shetty 12:17 And then we, and then we never-

Kristin Batalucco 12:18 Yeah

Jay Shetty 12:18 ... split up for...

Jay Shetty 12:19 What, what was it for you that went, "This is it. No more stones to be turned over"?

Lil Dicky 12:26 Like, I'm not the kind of guy that did what I said I just did at the thing. So I just felt a little bit bad about, I'm just not that guy, and I don't... It's like what, what am I looking for someone else when I have such a great person who wants to hang out with me? Now, at that point, I don't think either one of us necessarily knew-

Kristin Batalucco 12:40 I know

Lil Dicky 12:40 ... we were going to get married. I don't think you knew-

Kristin Batalucco 12:42 I know

Lil Dicky 12:42 ... we were gonna get married six weeks in.

Kristin Batalucco 12:44 I know. Remember, I think the first thing I said, like, on our second date, I was like, "Is this a dead end?" Like-

Lil Dicky 12:48 Well, yeah, so-

Kristin Batalucco 12:49 I was, I was angling for marriage.

Lil Dicky 12:51 Mm-hmm. So our second date she said, "Is this a..."

Jay Shetty 12:52 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 12:52 She said, "Is this a dead end?" It was the second date.

Jay Shetty 12:55 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 12:56 If us, if us not getting married is a dead end, it's totally possible that this is a dead end. But if you're saying it's a dead end if we aren't actually married, I can't answer that question right-

Jay Shetty 13:05 Because it's a second date.

Lil Dicky 13:05 Exactly.

Kristin Batalucco 13:06 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 13:06 But Kristin, from your side, like, you're angling for marriage on the second date. Like, you're really clear about what you want.

Kristin Batalucco 13:11 Yeah, yeah.

Jay Shetty 13:11 A, what's making it clear that this is the guy you wanna be with, and B, what's making you confident to be so clear about what you want? Because I think so many people who listen to this show, I know they actually feel quite scared-

Kristin Batalucco 13:22 Yeah

Jay Shetty 13:23 ... on their second date to actually be honest about what they're looking for.

Kristin Batalucco 13:26 Well, I went into it being like, I was 30, and I'd come out of a long relationship, and I felt like, like I had this whole narrative in my head, which I think the narrative is true, that it's like why should women have to kind of play, like, this game of let them chase you or, like... I feel like there, so often, even with my friends, like, even with Dave, they'd be like, "Don't be too aggressive. Like, don't..." Because I very much always just said what I wanted, which was like, "I like hanging out with you. Let's hang out again." And I felt like I didn't wanna waste time, like, letting him drive the relationship. So I just thought I- it's better off that I figure out if we're a bad fit than, like, let it go too long. Also, I'm only getting older, and...

Lil Dicky 14:08 It is remarkable how infrequently... I went on a lot of dates. I dated a lot of people over a 10 year... N- not really any seriously, but I went on a lot of dates, and it's very rare that I was held accountable and, like, you know, where... I, I feel like oftentimes there are games that are played that, that are totally predisposed to advantage the man.

Jay Shetty 14:30 Mm-hmm.

Lil Dicky 14:30 And I was very much down to lean into that because it advantaged me.

Jay Shetty 14:35 Mm-hmm.

Kristin Batalucco 14:35 I was ready to debate. Like, I was w- I was, like, waiting for him to be like-

Jay Shetty 14:38 You were up for the challenge, yeah, immediately

Kristin Batalucco 14:39 ... yeah, like, "Here are all the reasons why-

Lil Dicky 14:41 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 14:41 ... it, like, why I'm not ready or whatever," and then I kind of always came into the situation. Like, we were always able to talk about it. Like, you would be overwhelmed with, like, your work, and you thought that because if you're dating somebody, that means that you c- can't work and have, like, a career.

Lil Dicky 14:55 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 14:55 So I was always up for the debate.

Jay Shetty 14:57 Do you wanna chime in, Benny? Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 14:58 [laughs] But we would talk about it, Ben and I. We would, I, I'd be like, "You have to go for these. You have to go after them." [laughs] But it was good that you were that way.

Lil Dicky 17:24 I mean, only, only reason I wasn't... But truly, the only reason I didn't see it was because of my own anxieties wouldn't even allow me-

Jay Shetty 17:29 Yeah

Lil Dicky 17:29 ... to see it. 'Cause as soon as we started spending more time together-

Jay Shetty 17:32 Yeah

Lil Dicky 17:32 ... I was like, she's the funniest-

Jay Shetty 17:34 Yeah

Lil Dicky 17:34 ... most beautiful-

Kristin Batalucco 17:34 Yeah

Lil Dicky 17:34 ... perfect... I couldn't even believe that I was, it was a debate.

Kristin Batalucco 17:37 And what I said to myself, I said I always, I feel like I was in a lot of relationships where I didn't always feel like I was the one that, like, chased or I had, like, all of the agency.

Lil Dicky 17:48 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 17:48 And I would s- after my last relationship before Dave, I was like, "I wanna chase the person I marry, and I wanna be the one that's, like, choosing," 'cause so often you kind of, I don't know. I, I felt like so, so many of my past relationships were more like-

Jay Shetty 18:00 Mm.

Kristin Batalucco 18:01 You know, like, you're-

Jay Shetty 18:01 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 18:02 ... I don't, I-

Jay Shetty 18:02 You're being pursued.

Kristin Batalucco 18:03 Yeah. Or some- or, like, it's just easier to stay, whatever-

Jay Shetty 18:07 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 18:07 ... than go. So with Dave, well, before Dave, I was like, "I wanna, like, chase-"

Lil Dicky 18:11 my husband. Like, I wanna be like, "I really know that I want this," not like-

Benny Blanco 18:15 Yeah

Lil Dicky 18:15 ... "This is easy."

Benny Blanco 18:15 But I feel like it set you- them up for such success, 'cause when I look at them, they're s- couldn't be more even in a rela- And, like, I feel like that's when a relationship wins. Like, no person has the upper hand in the relationship.

Jay Shetty 18:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Benny Blanco 18:27 There's no, like, ba- Like, there's, like, funny, like, banter back and forth.

Jay Shetty 18:32 Of course.

Benny Blanco 18:32 And I love that, but it's like they truly, like, watching both of them, they truly want each other to win.

Jay Shetty 18:39 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 18:40 And, a- and then that's when, I feel like that's when the relationship works. I've been in relationships where the person is secretly, like-

Jay Shetty 18:46 Competitive

Benny Blanco 18:47 ... n- yeah, they're, like, competitive. Or I've been in relationships where something good happens to me, and I'm keeping it from the person-

Lil Dicky 18:54 Yeah

Benny Blanco 18:54 ... because I'm scared-

Jay Shetty 18:55 Yeah

Benny Blanco 18:55 ... they're, or, like, I, I had a time where, like, I, like, won some big award, and I went into a closet to answer the call-

Lil Dicky 19:02 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 19:02 ... and be excited because I was too scared.

Lil Dicky 19:04 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 19:05 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 19:05 And, like, that's, like, the worst type of relationship to be in.

Jay Shetty 19:07 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 19:07 Like, I wanna be in a relationship where, like, my partner is, like, cares more about, like, they, they, like, feel like they care more about you than their own thing, and you feel that way, too, and you guys are just, like, the ultimate cheerleader for each other.

Lil Dicky 19:19 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 19:19 Yeah. Well, you guys, I mean, what's

Jay Shetty 19:21 amazing, though, is that you guys are living the dream because you guys are best friends, and then your wife and your best friend are really great friends.

Benny Blanco 19:29 Yeah. Yeah.

Jay Shetty 19:29 And that's so special, and the fact that you guys used to do your birthdays together.

Benny Blanco 19:33 Mm-hmm.

Jay Shetty 19:33 The fact that you also all got married in the same year.

Benny Blanco 19:36 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 19:36 Yeah, same, like, month pretty much.

Benny Blanco 19:37 Months apart.

Jay Shetty 19:37 Same month.

Lil Dicky 19:38 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 19:38 And, and she's so close with Selena, too.

Lil Dicky 19:39 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 19:40 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 19:40 It's like-

Lil Dicky 19:40 It's been, it's perfect

Benny Blanco 19:41 ... I'm so happy it wor- Like, you know when, you know when s- one of your friends dates someone that you're like, "Oh," and, like-

Lil Dicky 19:48 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 19:48 ... and you never... No, it's crazy.

Jay Shetty 19:49 What would you have done? What would you have done?

Benny Blanco 19:51 Oh, my God, I've been that guy. I've dated someone where my fr- I've dated multiple people where... I mean, one time I, I broke up with a person I was with, and my friends, uh, wanted to throw me a party. Like, and I said-

Jay Shetty 20:05 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 20:05 I said, "Well, why didn't anyone tell me when I was in it?" And they said-

Lil Dicky 20:08 You can't

Benny Blanco 20:08 ... "Well, what are we supposed to tell you?"

Jay Shetty 20:09 Yeah, it's tough.

Benny Blanco 20:10 They said, "We made, we made gestures and, and, and-"

Lil Dicky 20:14 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 20:14 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 20:15 Dave, have you ever made gestures to Benny in that way?

Lil Dicky 20:17 No, I wouldn't, I, I-

Benny Blanco 20:18 He has. Slightly. In his own way. Not as blunt as some of-

Lil Dicky 20:21 I keep it real. If anyone's beha- I, I don't care who you are. If anyone's behav- I just like to speak about the facts at hand, so I always-

Benny Blanco 20:27 He's a fact-based

Lil Dicky 20:28 ... I'm a helping hand with anyone who wants to analyze the facts at hand, but, you know, love is a particular thing that sometimes transcends fact.

Jay Shetty 20:35 Mm.

Lil Dicky 20:36 So-

Jay Shetty 20:36 Wow

Lil Dicky 20:36 ... pretty good, right, Jay?

Jay Shetty 20:37 That's, that's beautiful.

Lil Dicky 20:38 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 20:38 Yeah, that is beautiful. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 20:38 That's like, that's like you've, like, found something there.

Lil Dicky 20:41 Yeah. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 20:41 You were like... I was like, "Wow," like, that, that is beautiful.

Lil Dicky 20:44 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 20:44 Re- I get what you're saying. It's like when you, when you know someone, you have a friend, and they're, like, really into this person.

Lil Dicky 20:48 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 20:48 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 20:48 You're kinda like, "Well, maybe there's a part of that I don't wanna mess up 'cause they see something I don't see."

Lil Dicky 20:53 Yeah, it's just not your place necessarily to be like-

Jay Shetty 20:55 Yeah

Lil Dicky 20:55 ... you know, "You, I know you love this person, but just so you know"-

Jay Shetty 20:58 Yeah

Lil Dicky 20:59 ... "you shouldn't."

Benny Blanco 21:00 She's fat.

Lil Dicky 21:00 Yeah, like, I don't know.

Jay Shetty 21:01 Yeah, yeah. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 21:01 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 21:01 What, what was it like, though, going from those parties to actually getting married a month apart? Like, to be-

Benny Blanco 21:06 It was stressful

Jay Shetty 21:06 ... at each other's weddings.

Lil Dicky 21:07 High-level partying. High-level parties. No, stressful. We were so tired. I feel like we were all really tired. I was really tired. It was- I liked it. I mean, I really enjoyed it. To me, I was like, our wedding was the best night of our lives, and it was so great, and I just remember being so happy that I had his wedding. Like, I was like, "And the fun isn't done." And I remember telling, I said to her, I said, "We should really try to have as much fun as possible," because nights don't always have this upside potential of how fun a night can be the way, and, like, we just had the most, like, very rarely do you go into a night where it has the potential to be the most fun night of your life, and our wedding, of course, had that potential. It felt so good when it actually was. Like, s- you know, I would've called a fact a fact if it was in any way-

Benny Blanco 21:48 Mm-hmm

Lil Dicky 21:49 ... shorter than I would've wa- especially 'cause we're paying all this goddamn money.

Jay Shetty 21:52 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 21:52 But it really was- Yeah, it was the best night ... it was so perfect. It was perfect.

Benny Blanco 21:55 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 21:55 And then I just remember being so excited for his, and his was perfect, and- And we had The Bachelorette in between.

Jay Shetty 22:00 What, what was... Oh, go on. Sorry, Kristin. Go ahead.

Lil Dicky 22:00 No, we had, like, we had, it was like- Oh, yeah, bachelor party, Bachelorette ... we kept saying that we're, like, kicking off, like it was our wedding, and then we had, in between our wedding and their wedding, we each separately went on, like, you know, I went to, like, Selena's, and Dave went to Benny's, and then we had-

Jay Shetty 22:12 Oh, that's epic. That's, yeah.

Lil Dicky 22:12 Then we had the wedding.

Benny Blanco 22:13 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 22:13 So it was, like, a fun two months.

Jay Shetty 22:15 Kristin, what was your favorite thing about Ben- uh, Benny and Selena's wedding?

Lil Dicky 22:18 Probably the vows. It's so, like, watching your close friends get married and, like, hearing the... What?

Benny Blanco 22:24 No, no, I was thinking of-

Jay Shetty 22:25 Nice.

Lil Dicky 22:25 Remembering how his, his face moved when he would cry. I mean, I couldn't see anything 'cause I was behind a pole, but I heard the vows.

Jay Shetty 22:31 Oh, you didn't get, like, preferred seating or anything like that?

Lil Dicky 22:34 I did get the front row seat, but I s-

Jay Shetty 22:35 Yeah

Lil Dicky 22:35 ... I didn't know if people were gonna sit-

Benny Blanco 22:37 I was right there

Lil Dicky 22:37 ... between me and Benny's family, so I, like, sat all the way to the side.

Benny Blanco 22:41 She just had, she had, she had an architectural issue.

Jay Shetty 22:44 Yeah. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 22:44 Plaguing her.

Lil Dicky 22:45 But that was the best part.

Jay Shetty 22:46 Tell us about the vows.

Lil Dicky 22:47 Their vows were so good, and I think, well, and Dave officiated, which I also obviously enjoyed.

Benny Blanco 22:53 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 22:53 I just loved hearing, it's like, it was nice to kind of hear them be serious. Like, you're not, it's so rare that you're gonna, like, hear your friends p- you know, say their love is l- like what they're doing in your vows, you know. [laughs] Especially, okay, so my perspective, by the way, couldn't have a better view. Like, they're, like, I'm, like- Yeah ... right there, and they're right here.

Benny Blanco 23:13 Yeah, yeah.

Lil Dicky 23:14 And so-

Jay Shetty 23:14 Well, 'cause you're officiating.

Lil Dicky 23:15 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 23:16 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 23:16 So-

Jay Shetty 23:16 Have you done one before?

Lil Dicky 23:17 No.

Jay Shetty 23:18 Wow.

Lil Dicky 23:18 I've actually never even given a best man speech, so, like, the whole thing, and then it's also such a tricky, 'cause, like, on the, I'm almost giving a best man speech, but it's also right there at the altar, so-

Jay Shetty 23:28 Yeah

Lil Dicky 23:28 ... you can't even do certain-

Jay Shetty 23:29 There's a lot of pressure, those things.

Benny Blanco 23:30 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 23:30 There was a lot of pressure, but I really felt born for that moment, and it was really, look, Selena, like, w- when the curtain went away, and it was her, and she started, she, like, literally- Oh, yeah ... I, I'm loathe to say that she looked like a princess, but she just looked like a fairy tale, like- The sun, the, it was, like, the most ama- the sun, like, was g- setting, setting behind her, and they had, like, these beautiful tents, so when she-

Jay Shetty 23:56 Wow

Lil Dicky 23:56 ... this is what I did see a little bit of. When she was, like, walking-

Jay Shetty 23:59 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 23:59 ... it was, like, it was, like, majestic. Yeah, and, like, you know, she pulls out this, likeI don't even, this-

Benny Blanco 24:05 Handwritten book

Lil Dicky 24:05 ... this hand, this book of scriptures-

Benny Blanco 24:08 [laughs] Yeah

Lil Dicky 24:08 ... that is like her vows that were like written by hand-

Benny Blanco 24:11 Mm-hmm

Lil Dicky 24:11 ... that she like lost five days earlier that Benny had ... She like lo- wrote her vows for like a year and then she lost them like right before the wedding.

Benny Blanco 24:17 I found them.

Jay Shetty 24:17 No.

Lil Dicky 24:18 And then Benny found them. She like pulled at the-

Benny Blanco 24:19 Double points.

Lil Dicky 24:20 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 24:21 You found it on the day and she told you on the day?

Benny Blanco 24:22 No, I found it a few days before.

Jay Shetty 24:24 Oh, okay.

Lil Dicky 24:24 But like her vows are just like, you know ... A- and, and then Benny like, you know, uh, uh, obviously Benny has a high level of emotional capacity and sensitivity, but he's definitely a joker.

Jay Shetty 24:34 Mm-hmm.

Lil Dicky 24:34 And to see him just break, like and become just a shell of a man.

Jay Shetty 24:42 [laughs] Wow.

Lil Dicky 24:42 Like his face was-

Jay Shetty 24:43 Like a little puddle

Lil Dicky 24:44 ... like, his, I've never, like when Selena, when the curtain got revealed and she, his face was like -

Benny Blanco 24:50 [laughs] 'Cause I was trying not to ... Okay. So when we did the first look, I was like, "Oh. Oh, that, that, this is easy. I'm not even crying." But when she came out to the music, my face, I was like, "I'm not ready to cry this early," so I was like, I was like ...

Lil Dicky 25:10 Yeah. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 25:10 Like I can't even do it. I was like ... I'd recently watched the video back and it's insane.

Lil Dicky 25:15 It's weird to ha- see someone's face so often and then realize you've never seen their face do a certain thing is a weird feeling to feel.

Jay Shetty 25:21 That's amazing.

Benny Blanco 25:22 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 25:22 That's amazing.

Benny Blanco 25:23 I'm never nervous and I was, before it happened, I all of a sudden got so nervous and like 10 times I was like, "Should I have them print mine out bigger? Should I do it small?" And like I asked-

Lil Dicky 25:34 Yeah

Benny Blanco 25:34 ... him all these questions. And then-

Lil Dicky 25:36 He made me walk out to, like everyone's seated thinking the thing's about to start, and he made me walk out alone, like down the aisle essentially-

Benny Blanco 25:45 Yeah

Lil Dicky 25:45 ... and like double check and he had multiple printouts of the thing already sitting up there.

Benny Blanco 25:49 [laughs] I remember being so nervous and then for some reason the second I turned into the room everything melted away and it was like I wasn't nervous at all anymore.

Jay Shetty 26:02 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 26:02 And it was, it, it was so cool to see. Theirs was like training.

Lil Dicky 26:06 I was gonna ask you that, yeah.

Benny Blanco 26:07 Their, yeah, theirs was like training and theirs was, I, I really can't stress this, it was the best wedding I'd ever been to in my life. I think also it's because it's like the people like I care about. I've never - like I cried so much at their wedding.

Jay Shetty 26:21 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 26:21 During their vows I was bawling and you think about your friends but then like to see them do this thing that's so like final.

Jay Shetty 26:32 Mm.

Benny Blanco 26:32 It was so beau- and they're both so well-spoken and funny but also serious and like yeah, I don't usually see Dave serious. I never see Kristen serious. Like we're all those people who kinda like make, like I'll probably be laughing at like my friend's funeral like 'cause I like can't-

Lil Dicky 26:48 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 26:48 Yeah

Benny Blanco 26:48 ... like it's, it's, it's, it's like a coping mechanism. And to watch them do that was so fun and everything was perfect and I, their week, their wedding was one of the best weekends of my life and then I was like, "Oh my God, I have my own to look forward to?"

Jay Shetty 27:03 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 27:03 And I had that feeling where I was so scared that mine wasn't gonna live up to what it was in my head and it was so far beyond what ... Like the only thing I didn't like is, um, cocktail hour 'cause I kept having to say hi to everyone and I said-

Jay Shetty 27:20 Yeah

Benny Blanco 27:20 ... "Am I gonna be doing this the whole night?"

Jay Shetty 27:22 It goes by so fast.

Lil Dicky 27:22 I tri- I tried to get you to do the thing.

Benny Blanco 27:24 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 27:24 You didn't wanna do it.

Benny Blanco 27:24 What was the thing?

Jay Shetty 27:25 No, we did do it. They did it.

Benny Blanco 27:25 We did do it.

Lil Dicky 27:26 And you said you thought we shouldn't have.

Benny Blanco 27:26 And Selena didn't like it.

Jay Shetty 27:28 We did.

Lil Dicky 27:28 What was the thing?

Jay Shetty 27:29 We took, we should've, we basically went, Dave and I like had to go to the bathroom so we, before Benny and Selena had seen their-

Lil Dicky 27:35 Well, well first it was our wedding. It was why-

Jay Shetty 27:36 Yeah

Lil Dicky 27:36 ... we even knew about this.

Jay Shetty 27:37 Did you do this like where they, they take you into the reception before-

Lil Dicky 27:41 Mm-hmm

Jay Shetty 27:41 ... the g- the guests come.

Lil Dicky 27:42 They pluck you from cocktail hour-

Benny Blanco 27:44 Mm-hmm

Lil Dicky 27:44 ... five minutes early, take you to where the band is and where dinner is and they like let you see it all-

Jay Shetty 27:50 Yeah

Lil Dicky 27:50 ... and the band's playing just for you.

Jay Shetty 27:52 First look.

Benny Blanco 27:52 Yes.

Lil Dicky 27:52 And it was like our favorite part of our wedding.

Jay Shetty 27:54 And then we had to go to the bathroom so we went into Benny and Selena's before they had seen it-

Benny Blanco 27:58 Yeah

Jay Shetty 27:58 ... and we were like, "Oh my God, this is incredible. They have to see it." So we were like, "Should we pull them away?" And pulling them away was like-

Benny Blanco 28:06 It was so hard.

Lil Dicky 28:07 It was so hard. Like I thought, you know what? I felt like they were being bombarded. They were, and I was just like they're miss- they're only gonna ... The tenting that they're thing, it was the most beautiful tent.

Jay Shetty 28:16 Oh, and you never got to see it empty.

Lil Dicky 28:17 And it was c- no, they got to see, not, not empty.

Jay Shetty 28:18 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 28:18 But they, but I, but I made them do it.

Jay Shetty 28:20 We dragged them.

Lil Dicky 28:21 I, I, I was just like I just had this instinct that I knew better and, and that they didn't know.

Benny Blanco 28:25 [laughs] What was your wedding like?

Lil Dicky 28:26 Gosh, I was like-

Benny Blanco 28:27 I think, do I remember this correctly? Was yours like some sort of thing like outside near like a bri- like-

Lil Dicky 28:32 No, no, n- no.

Benny Blanco 28:33 Oh.

Lil Dicky 28:33 That was just our photo shoot.

Benny Blanco 28:34 Were you there?

Lil Dicky 28:34 That was just our photo shoot afterwards.

Benny Blanco 28:36 Oh, oh, no. Ah, no.

Lil Dicky 28:37 We, this year's our 10-year wedding anniversary.

Jay Shetty 28:38 I was just gonna say when did you get married? Wow.

Lil Dicky 28:39 It's 10 years, yeah, 10 years.

Jay Shetty 28:41 Congrats.

Benny Blanco 28:41 Oh, actually I don't care about your wedding. I wanna know, I wanna know this. This is my real question.

Lil Dicky 28:45 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 28:46 My real-

Lil Dicky 28:46 This is not your podcast.

Benny Blanco 28:47 Well, yeah, yeah. I have a question for you.

Lil Dicky 28:49 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 28:49 I have a question.

Lil Dicky 28:50 Benny, I have, I have many more que- go on.

Benny Blanco 28:51 I got one question.

Lil Dicky 28:52 I'll let you ask one question.

Benny Blanco 28:53 I have one question.

Lil Dicky 28:54 You get one question.

Jay Shetty 28:56 He's gotta think of the question first. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 28:57 No, no, no, no. No, no. It's such a good question. I just wanna word it the right way. Okay. You're 10 years in.

Lil Dicky 29:04 Mm-hmm. Tooney by Jay. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 29:07 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 29:08 Okay.

Lil Dicky 29:08 I and my wife.

Benny Blanco 29:09 You're 10 years in. What have you learned in this time that you, that you thought you knew when it was 10 years before, and what do you want like-

Lil Dicky 29:19 Yeah

Benny Blanco 29:19 ... the next 10 years to be like? Yeah.

Lil Dicky 29:21 Yeah. Good question.

Jay Shetty 29:22 Good question. Good question.

Benny Blanco 29:23 Sorry, what? Only answer one.

Jay Shetty 29:24 It's similar to the way you're even talking about each other. I feel like you think you love your partner the most you could love them on your wedding day and then you realize you had no idea how much you could love them.

Lil Dicky 29:35 Hmm.

Jay Shetty 29:35 Like 10 years on it's just like I thought I loved my wife like the most I could ever love her and then you actually go through life, you go through challenges, you go through ups and downs. We, we got married, changed jobs, moved country, and moved home all in the same year.

Benny Blanco 29:52 Wow.

Jay Shetty 29:52 And so like we went through so much and I feel like that could either break you or make you closer and for us it just brought us closer. Then the pandemic, we were stuck together every day and it brought us closer and I think that could've been a ... So I feel like when you've been through so much life together you just have so much proof.

30:06 That-

Lil Dicky 30:07 Yeah

Jay Shetty 30:07 ... you love each other through so many different versions of each other. And I think that's the other thing, that I feel like I've been in love with a different person in 10 years because my wife has been so many different versions of herself.

Lil Dicky 30:20 Mm.

Jay Shetty 30:20 She'll probably say I've been pretty much the same, but-

Lil Dicky 30:22 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 30:22 [laughs] I feel, I feel like-

Lil Dicky 30:23 Yeah

Jay Shetty 30:24 ... I feel like she has changed so many times in beautiful ways.

Kristin Batalucco 30:27 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 30:28 And so you're learning to fall in love again. So this idea of, "Oh, I know your every move, and I know everything about you," it's like I actually don't.

Lil Dicky 30:35 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 30:35 And I feel like I'm constantly on my toes. And because we end up spending a bit of time away from each other every year because of work, I feel like we're still dating, which is really fun, actually.

Lil Dicky 30:44 Mm.

Jay Shetty 30:44 Like, I, I love the fact that we don't see each other all the time.

Kristin Batalucco 30:47 That's important.

Jay Shetty 30:47 'Cause then there's a sense of like, "I can't wait to get back to you."

Lil Dicky 30:50 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 30:50 And so, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 30:51 We see each other-

Lil Dicky 30:53 All the time

Kristin Batalucco 30:53 ... all day, every day.

Jay Shetty 30:54 Well-

Lil Dicky 30:54 Not too much for me, Jay

Kristin Batalucco 30:55 ... never too much for me.

Jay Shetty 30:55 Not too, yeah.

Lil Dicky 30:56 I love it.

Jay Shetty 30:56 I, I, yeah. I was like, I was trying to convince my wife to do a reality show with me 'cause I was like, "I just wanna be with you all day long."

Lil Dicky 31:00 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 31:01 Aw.

Jay Shetty 31:01 Like, that would be my dream.

Kristin Batalucco 31:02 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 31:02 She's like, "We're never doing-

Kristin Batalucco 31:04 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 31:04 ... a reality TV show."

Lil Dicky 31:05 Yeah. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 31:05 I'm like, "All right, then."

Kristin Batalucco 31:06 I'd watch it.

Jay Shetty 31:06 I gue- yeah. Yeah, thank you. I-

Kristin Batalucco 31:08 I, I'd watch

Jay Shetty 31:08 ... I wonder who else would because there wouldn't be much drama.

Kristin Batalucco 31:10 A lot of people.

Jay Shetty 31:11 We'd have to create some drama. Like, you'd have to find ways. I'd have to in- invite drama people.

Lil Dicky 31:15 Benny Blanco's-

Kristin Batalucco 31:15 We can give you some ideas

Lil Dicky 31:16 ... wicked creative.

Jay Shetty 31:17 Yeah. [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 31:18 Yeah. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 31:18 But did you guys ever think, like, we're here to talk about Friends Keep Secrets.

Lil Dicky 31:22 Mm-hmm.

Jay Shetty 31:23 The show, not a podcast, not a live stream. Did you ever believe that you guys would be doing a show together?

Kristin Batalucco 31:30 I think it makes sense.

Lil Dicky 31:31 Ever, yes, 'cause we... I, I wi- I, I don't think we saw... I didn't necessarily see it coming, but it really kind of was this perfect storm of things happening at the right time. And, like, Kristen was very... She was always, even as I was making Dave, in my... Just always on TikTok and always being like, there's something that's so rewarding about real human behavior. And she was always kind of on the forefront of knowing that consumption patterns are really changing, and that was something that I, I, I, I really respect her opinion-

Jay Shetty 32:03 Mm

Lil Dicky 32:03 ... about a lot of things. And that was something that was in my head. And separately, me and Benny had kind of just flirted with the idea of a podcast for years, but I never really saw it as a thing that I wanted to do. And-

Jay Shetty 32:15 What changed?

Kristin Batalucco 32:16 I think one day I was like, but what if, like, we, like, rigged our house? And what if you take the same, like, creativity that the two of you have and you try to change what this is versus trying to, like, fit the mold of what everything else is? And I feel like that's when you were... And I think Benny, like, separately had the same idea 'cause we all got on the phone, and he was like, "Yeah, we can literally..." Like, he was like, I was... So I, I just think it was the perfect storm for you to be like, "Oh, this is exciting."

Lil Dicky 32:42 Once I started thinking about the potential to reinvent things and make things different, then I got really excited about it. And then only when we started doing it did I, did I really, like, fall in love with everything because I say this to them all the time, m- my, me even going for it as a comedic presence only happened because I was trying to entertain my friends and be, like, the funny guy to my friends. And that is my, when I am the happiest, when I'm around my best friends and I'm, like, seeking the joke and trying to make them laugh. And then I went for it. I try, you know, I became a comedian, made my show Dave. And, like, a show like Dave, it requires so much, like, hard work.

Jay Shetty 33:20 I believe it.

Lil Dicky 33:21 And-

Jay Shetty 33:21 It's a great show

Lil Dicky 33:21 ... and, like, everything that seems like it's all so fun and light and, like, the amount of brain power that goes into executing it is so next level that actually making the show Dave can be torturous.

Jay Shetty 33:35 Mm.

Lil Dicky 33:36 Whereas as soon as we started doing this, I've never had more f- it's just like I was, the inner child in me was, like, now having fun with my best friends again. And then even seeing the footage of it and understanding how it all was working, to me, I think back to Kristen's original thesis, there's nothing more compelling. I think COVID actually caused this because, like, shows stopped being made, and people were just at home, and then TikTok was blowing up. And we were just seeing over and over again human beings being themselves and being really entertaining and fun to watch. And so I think at the end of the day, things are only as good as the, the characters that, that are there.

Jay Shetty 34:11 Mm-hmm.

Lil Dicky 34:11 And we're just being ourselves, and there really is nothing purer than, like, having a great time with your best friends. And it's all, everything that's happening is so real and organic and, like, they're, like, the amount of hard laughs that are happening with all three of us as we're filming it is... I've been talking for a long time.

Kristin Batalucco 34:28 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 34:29 I'm realizing that.

Jay Shetty 34:29 You know, it was making a lot-

Kristin Batalucco 34:30 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 34:30 It was resonating.

Lil Dicky 34:31 I realize how long I've been talking.

Jay Shetty 34:32 It was resonating. No, I-

Kristin Batalucco 34:33 No, I like it

Jay Shetty 34:33 ... I allow for that space-

Lil Dicky 34:35 Okay. Okay

Jay Shetty 34:35 ... on the show because it was resonant.

Lil Dicky 34:35 Yeah, he allows. Okay.

Jay Shetty 34:37 I still remember the first call when you called me up and was like-

Lil Dicky 34:39 I do too

Jay Shetty 34:40 ... "I think me and D- you know, me and Dave and Kristen wanna start this show." And in my head, I was like, "Oh, great. You know, we'll put some microphones down. We're gonna sit down. It'll be another interview show. You guys will have great guests." And then as this thing's evolved, I was just like, your guys' creative vision, the way you're shifting up the industry, the way this show is gonna change the way people think about what a podcast is, what an interview is, it's amazing. And, and honestly, it's been such a joy, like, seeing you guys put in the work, put in the hustle. But also, the most important thing is I feel like whenever I've seen y- I, I, I got to walk into one of your episodes when I was coming to do a photo shoot.

Lil Dicky 35:15 I love that.

Jay Shetty 35:16 But then I just got to walk into an episode-

Lil Dicky 35:18 It's a great moment

Jay Shetty 35:19 ... which is insane.

Lil Dicky 35:19 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 35:20 And, and I'm like, I couldn't believe just how crazy, real, authentic. And, and you know, people throw those words around.

Lil Dicky 35:26 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 35:26 And so I don't even like using those words 'cause nowadays everyone's like, "Oh, it's so authentic. It's so this." It, it's not even that. It just is what it is. Like, it is just three friends hanging out.

Lil Dicky 35:35 We don't even know what's coming.

Jay Shetty 35:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Lil Dicky 35:37 And we get in these random conversations and arguments that are, become so passionate that I feel like anyone watching a group or anyone in their own group of friends is able to relate to... Like, it's really just us kind of living and existing, and it's a fly-on-the-wall observation of that.

Jay Shetty 35:51 I think what's fascinating

Jay Shetty 35:52 about it on a, on a more thoughtful level is one of the things I'm trying to do with the work I'm, that we're putting out there in the world is trying to make people feel less alone.

Lil Dicky 35:59 Mm-hmm.

Kristin Batalucco 36:00 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 36:00 And, and I feel like this show makes people feel less alone.

Lil Dicky 36:03 She always says there's a loneliness, uh, epidemic.

Kristin Batalucco 36:06 Epidemic. Well, 'cause there is. But I felt like I realized, I do think after COVID, like, all of our social lives have... slowed down or if they haven't, there was like, there was definitely like a period where socializing beyond the anxiety of like COVID kind of cre- th- th- there was like a learning curve to kind of get back into it and putting yourself out there. And I really resonate with like TikTok, and it's not... Like, I love watching people in like Michigan or like random sta- you know, like home videos essentially of like people hanging out. And I feel like one cool thing about us is, I mean, especially Benny, not... Dave is cool, but like, I feel like when we met, Benny, you are such a good host. You always like have us over, and like we have so much fun, and we meet new people. And I think we now have the opportunity to like bring people into that experience, which is what I like on TikTok. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 36:55 I'll, I'll, I'll tell you something. I was, I was with my friend the other day, and we were hanging out, and he w- he like just went through a breakup. You know, I don't ever watch myself back. I'm not like a guy that does that. I don't... Like, once it's there, it's there. I... Like, I'll ask my manager, I'll say, "Hey, did I say something stupid?" And he'll be like, "Yeah, this was stupid." And I'll say, "Okay, take it out." Like, I'm not like a, I don't wanna... I, I can't do that. I, in any... Like, I don't wanna look at a magazine. I don't wanna do any of that. But my friend wasn't feeling great, and I said, "Let me put on an episode of, uh, of, of our new show." And I put it on, and at first he's like staring at it. And he's laughing uncontrollably, and he's like, eh, just like following along to everything. And it got to the point where we start having our normal conversation, and it's just playing in the background. And it's just like, it just... We were like in it, but then we'd go do our own thing, and then we'd come back to it. And we were like, it, it was so cool to have... It's like a constant friend in the corner. And it was like whenever there was like a lull in the conversation, we would just start watching-

Jay Shetty 38:08 Yeah, that's nice

Benny Blanco 38:08 ... the, the thing again.

Kristin Batalucco 38:09 Cool.

Benny Blanco 38:09 And it was, and it, and, and we were laughing, and we would like pause it and then talk about like our own stories. We were like, "Oh my God, that reminds me of..." And it, to me, I feel like we live in a world where there's constantly so much static and noise of like not great things. And I feel like there's a way to put something good into the earth without like pushing, like, uh, pushing it down people's throats-

Jay Shetty 38:36 Yeah

Benny Blanco 38:36 ... like trying to do like some educational... Like, it, it, it's, it's like when we did Earth. Like, we made Earth, and it had a really good sentiment behind it, but it was talking about like your penis and a baboon's butt. Like, it's like, uh, like I think there's a way to do something good for the world-

Jay Shetty 38:53 Yeah

Benny Blanco 38:53 ... and not take yourself so seriously.

Jay Shetty 38:55 Totally.

Benny Blanco 38:56 And, and we talk about real-life shit on this podcast. It's not a podcast.

Jay Shetty 39:00 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 39:00 But, um, it-

Jay Shetty 39:01 I was waiting for that, Dave

Benny Blanco 39:02 ... he, he's thinking it.

Jay Shetty 39:03 You missed your cue. It's not only.

Benny Blanco 39:06 Yeah, it's multimedia.

Kristin Batalucco 39:08 Oh. Yeah, he wants to change the name to multimedia.

Jay Shetty 39:10 Multimedia.

Kristin Batalucco 39:11 No one liked it but me.

Benny Blanco 39:12 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 39:12 Yeah, right.

Kristin Batalucco 39:13 So.

Jay Shetty 39:13 I, it seems a bit like '90s.

Kristin Batalucco 39:14 That's what I-

Benny Blanco 39:15 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 39:15 Yeah, yeah.

Benny Blanco 39:15 It's cool. It's classic, vintage.

Jay Shetty 39:17 Vintage. Vintage.

Benny Blanco 39:18 No one wants it, though, so it's still Friends Keep Secrets.

Jay Shetty 39:20 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 39:20 I-

Jay Shetty 39:20 Oh, you wanted to change the name to Multimedia? [laughs]

Benny Blanco 39:23 Yeah. Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 39:23 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 39:23 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 39:23 He like sent a, a serious text the other day.

Jay Shetty 39:25 That's amazing.

Benny Blanco 39:26 No.

Jay Shetty 39:26 I never got that text.

Benny Blanco 39:27 I, I just-

Kristin Batalucco 39:28 [laughs] Yeah. But it hadn't made it to you yet.

Jay Shetty 39:29 Yeah, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 39:30 It got shot down.

Jay Shetty 39:31 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 39:31 It's not the right idea.

Jay Shetty 39:32 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 39:32 I don't think Benny replied to the text.

Benny Blanco 39:34 No.

Jay Shetty 39:34 No, but that's what I love about what you guys can do. Like, you guys are doing something that not a lot of people can do. You guys can have fun, be ridiculous, talk about crazy stuff, and have a moral message [laughs] to wrap it up with, which is insane. Or not.

Benny Blanco 39:47 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 39:47 And, and I think that's the beautiful thing, that you're making people feel close. But for you, Dave, like you're

Jay Shetty 39:51 working with your wife and your best friend-

Benny Blanco 39:52 Yeah

Jay Shetty 39:53 ... in the same space.

Benny Blanco 39:54 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 39:54 I feel like you have the hardest job.

Benny Blanco 39:55 Huh, well-

Jay Shetty 39:56 Because that sounds-

Benny Blanco 39:57 I'm happy to hear you say that, Jack

Jay Shetty 39:57 ... you know? Yeah. I'm, I just wanted to empathize.

Benny Blanco 39:59 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 39:59 I was like-

Benny Blanco 40:00 Yeah

Jay Shetty 40:00 ... take a moment to acknowledge that-

Benny Blanco 40:01 It is true

Jay Shetty 40:02 ... you're, you're in the middle. Like, how does, how does... Working with friends, loved ones is hard anyway.

Benny Blanco 40:07 Yeah, Jack.

Jay Shetty 40:08 How are you, uh-

Kristin Batalucco 40:09 Yeah, Chuck

Jay Shetty 40:10 ... how are you managing it?

Benny Blanco 40:11 Uh, look, I really had no fear going into it because I just know both of them so well, and I've, I just feel like I, I wouldn't become this close with anyone if they, if the person couldn't analyze whatever facts at hand that are and talk about them fairly, logically, whatever. So I'm, we get in little spats and arguments all the time.

Jay Shetty 40:34 What's the roles usually? Who starts the fight?

Benny Blanco 40:37 Oh.

Jay Shetty 40:37 Who continues it?

Benny Blanco 40:38 All three-

Jay Shetty 40:38 Who ends it?

Benny Blanco 40:38 ... of us are equally annoying to auth- like-

Kristin Batalucco 40:40 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 40:41 It really varies, and all of us do different things. I love, but I love all of them.

Kristin Batalucco 40:44 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 40:44 They're so fun.

Kristin Batalucco 40:45 It is-

Benny Blanco 40:45 But I just, I just... Sorry.

Kristin Batalucco 40:46 No, go on.

Benny Blanco 40:48 I just-

Jay Shetty 40:48 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 40:49 I just know that there's really no argument or moment that could ever be the type of thing that we couldn't logically talk about it-

Jay Shetty 40:56 Yeah, yeah

Benny Blanco 40:56 ... and arrive at the facts at hand, so ultimately I have no fear. I also have a pretty high tolerance for, like, understanding him, understanding her, understanding h- when to leave things be. And I think all of us kind of do, and we're all so close that, I don't know, for me, it's literally like I work so hard that nothing makes me happier than getting to work so hard and hang out with my best friend and wife while doing it.

Jay Shetty 41:17 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 41:18 And I think we all communicate the same way. Like, we can kind of get like revved up and get, like, not aggressive, but passionate.

Benny Blanco 41:26 Aggressive. We're all aggressive.

Kristin Batalucco 41:27 But we don't take it like-

Benny Blanco 41:28 We really are

Kristin Batalucco 41:28 ... I feel like we'll do it, and then like two seconds later we'll be like, we'll be fine. And I think that's like-

Benny Blanco 41:33 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 41:33 ... it's unique to kind of find people that communicate the same way that you do in these moments. I mean, we can definitely get on each other's nerves, but it's never like, like it's never like taken personal.

Benny Blanco 41:42 Really? I'm never mad at any of you guys.

Kristin Batalucco 41:44 That's what, that's what I'm saying.

Benny Blanco 41:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jay Shetty 41:45 No, you are annoyed. You get annoyed.

Benny Blanco 41:47 No, but I'm never... It's like what she's saying.

Kristin Batalucco 41:49 Yeah, like it, it goes away.

Benny Blanco 41:49 It's like, it's like the second the conversation-

Jay Shetty 41:51 No, no one's ever mad at anyone.

Benny Blanco 41:52 Like I get mad-

Kristin Batalucco 41:52 We get, we get revved up together.

Benny Blanco 41:54 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 41:54 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 41:54 Like I don't think I could ever, like, be like r- actually really angry at you guys.

Jay Shetty 41:59 No.

Benny Blanco 41:59 Like Pa- I don't think that could ever be a thing.

Jay Shetty 42:01 No.

Benny Blanco 42:02 We're also, none of us are that type of person.

Jay Shetty 42:04 Yeah. Yeah, I agree.

Benny Blanco 42:04 Like we're, he's only been angry at me one time in his entire life, and the reason was we were coming home from Coachella, and he was really tired, and he hadn't slept in the type of like situa- he hadn't had a full night's sleep in a few days, and he needs a full night's sleep. And he's getting his stuff out of the car, and I'm getting my stuff out of the car, and I kinda like, like, uh, kicked his knee or something. A- and, and then like-

Jay Shetty 42:30 Intentionally.

Benny Blanco 42:31 Yeah, I can't even remember.

Jay Shetty 42:31 I think you like-

Benny Blanco 42:33 I like was like, yeah, I was like-

Jay Shetty 42:34 Like, you like pushed me from behind playfully

Benny Blanco 42:35 ... yeah, I was like pu- yeah, I was like pushing him, like as a joke, and he was like, "Get-"

Jay Shetty 42:38 No, no, no.

Kristin Batalucco 42:39 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 42:40 No. He pushed me playfully.

Benny Blanco 42:41 Oh, yeah, you hit your shin.

Jay Shetty 42:42 And my shin-

Kristin Batalucco 42:43 Oh

Jay Shetty 42:43 ... hit the, like, the car.

Benny Blanco 42:46 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 42:46 And it hurt so much.

Kristin Batalucco 42:47 Ooh.

Jay Shetty 42:48 My shin.

Benny Blanco 42:49 And he goes, and he goes, "Get off of me."

Jay Shetty 42:50 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 42:50 And he, and he was ma-

Kristin Batalucco 42:51 That's funny

Benny Blanco 42:51 ... and then I laughed at him.

Jay Shetty 42:52 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 42:53 And it was, he was angry for about 15 seconds.

Kristin Batalucco 42:55 So how do you guys make decisions, then?

Kristin Batalucco 42:57 Like a group conversation?

Benny Blanco 42:59 Group conversations.

Kristin Batalucco 43:00 There's a vote? No? Well, we, I like to bring the vote in, but she, she'll never insert her opinion. I like the vote. He likes the v- We, we [laughs] ... So it's a two out of three like the vote. Yeah

Benny Blanco 43:13 ... we're seeing like every, like, nook and cranny. Like she like-

Kristin Batalucco 44:27 Yeah

Benny Blanco 44:28 ... she'll like, uh-

Kristin Batalucco 44:29 I'm sweating

Benny Blanco 44:29 ... she'll burp or be like sweat- Yeah, and she's so honest, and it's so rare that you see ... It's funny, I, I like her and Selena, I see why they're such good friends, 'cause it's like there's so many similarities where, like, I feel like sometimes, like you and Selena have this thing where you're both, like, so brutally honest about how you're feeling. And it's like, it's so comedic too. It's, like, funny. It's like har-

Kristin Batalucco 44:56 Yeah

Benny Blanco 44:56 ... I, I, like, can't explain it. Yeah, like you just saying, like, you're sweating. Like, I feel like mo- like most, like ... Well, especially 'cause you guys are, like, so well put together.

Kristin Batalucco 45:05 I would-

Benny Blanco 45:05 And like you're-

Kristin Batalucco 45:05 Not, I'm nothing like-

Benny Blanco 45:06 No, no. But like Selena-

Kristin Batalucco 45:07 I'm not put together

Benny Blanco 45:07 ... will say the same thing. She'll be like, "I'm sweating and I'm having, like, an anxiety attack right now."

Kristin Batalucco 45:12 Really?

Benny Blanco 45:12 Like, and I, I love that about you guys. And I do feel like there's also a lot of yous out there.

Kristin Batalucco 45:18 Oh, yeah.

Benny Blanco 45:19 That, and I think, like, you're gonna inspire people so much because you-

Kristin Batalucco 45:24 I wouldn't go that far, but [laughs]

Benny Blanco 45:24 ... no, but you wear your insecurities on your sleeve in a cool way.

Kristin Batalucco 45:28 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 45:29 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 45:29 And I like it. I, I love it. I love it how she-

Kristin Batalucco 45:31 I like that it's cool.

Benny Blanco 45:32 I like how you are.

Jay Shetty 45:32 How does it feel

Jay Shetty 45:33 for you, Kristin? Like, obviously this is a big deal. It is the first time you're gonna be-

Kristin Batalucco 45:36 Yeah

Jay Shetty 45:37 ... this is the first interview you're doing, right?

Kristin Batalucco 45:38 This is the first interv-

Jay Shetty 45:39 So-

Kristin Batalucco 45:39 I almost didn't come. I was gonna say that I had the stomach flu. I was like-

Jay Shetty 45:42 No.

Kristin Batalucco 45:43 I was, like, thinking of all-

Jay Shetty 45:43 I would've been so upset

Kristin Batalucco 45:44 ... I know.

Jay Shetty 45:44 I would've taken that so personally.

Kristin Batalucco 45:45 And you would've known. Well, I wouldn't have ... Well, you shouldn't have. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 45:48 We would've had more room.

Kristin Batalucco 45:49 I wouldn't have known about you.

Benny Blanco 45:49 We would've had more room.

Kristin Batalucco 45:51 No, but I, but I knew that, um ... No, I actually like this interview. I'm doing f- fine.

Jay Shetty 45:55 Yeah, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 45:55 There is, like, a spit bubble that keeps coming from my teeth.

Benny Blanco 45:58 Here, let me see you smile.

Jay Shetty 45:58 Right.

Kristin Batalucco 45:59 That's a little bit hard.

Jay Shetty 45:59 No one else is seeing that.

Benny Blanco 46:00 Can't see anything.

Jay Shetty 46:00 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 46:01 Oh, yeah.

Jay Shetty 46:02 Can't see anything. Yeah.

Benny Blanco 46:02 Right before we did this, she had a full thing of lip sick across her whole mouth.

Kristin Batalucco 46:07 I-

Benny Blanco 46:07 And I told her right before.

Kristin Batalucco 46:08 Yeah. Got it off.

Jay Shetty 46:09 There you go. Has an argument ever lasted longer than the recording of one of the episodes?

Kristin Batalucco 46:12 No.

Benny Blanco 46:13 No. Is anyone's butt asleep?

Jay Shetty 46:15 No.

Kristin Batalucco 46:15 No, you gotta reposition yourself.

Jay Shetty 46:16 Do you wanna, do you wanna have a little walk around?

Benny Blanco 46:18 No, no.

Jay Shetty 46:18 You can if you want.

Benny Blanco 46:19 I, no, I don't wanna be-

Jay Shetty 46:19 I can chat to these two.

Benny Blanco 46:20 No, I can't be the first man-

Jay Shetty 46:21 You should

Benny Blanco 46:21 ... to ever, uh-

Kristin Batalucco 46:22 Just reposition your butt

Benny Blanco 46:24 ... Jay said that nobody has ever used the bathroom during an interview, ever, except him once.

Jay Shetty 46:32 With Kevin Hart. I felt so embarrassed. I was like-

Benny Blanco 46:35 Yeah. I can't walk-

Jay Shetty 46:35 ... "Kevin, do you mind if I use the bathroom?" [laughs]

Benny Blanco 46:37 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 46:37 And did you use this one?

Jay Shetty 46:38 Yeah, the one back there.

Benny Blanco 46:39 You know, I always ask people, like, I always wonder, like-

Kristin Batalucco 46:42 Do they use the bathroom?

Benny Blanco 46:43 No, like, when, like, Adele is performing, like, is she ever just like, "Oh my gosh, I ate something cra-" Like, like, does, like, like, does anyone have to poop ever?

Jay Shetty 46:54 Well, don't the best, like, find a routine for moments-

Benny Blanco 46:57 Yeah

Jay Shetty 46:57 ... in their life, right?

Benny Blanco 46:57 Yeah, yeah.

Jay Shetty 46:57 Like, that's how athletes prepare.

Benny Blanco 46:58 My stuff is always right before.

Kristin Batalucco 47:00 Like some- I have to go to the bath- Like, I pee when I'm nervous, which is so nice for our podcast because I get up and go to the bathroom, like, I would say, like, four times an episode.

Jay Shetty 47:08 You also hydrate well, though.

Kristin Batalucco 47:10 Not really.

Benny Blanco 47:10 You have to pee.

Kristin Batalucco 47:11 It's, it's honestly ... Yeah, I had to as soon as I sat down, but I've already gone. It's just nerves. Like, it's like-

Benny Blanco 47:15 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 47:15 ... to me, it's a nerve-based thing. It's not actually ... I don't know. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 47:19 Chuck, do you think your pee is nerve-based?

Jay Shetty 47:21 It's not pee, but I, I'm surprised at how often I'll have to poop, like, 30 minutes before a concert.

Benny Blanco 47:25 Yeah, yeah.

Jay Shetty 47:25 Oh, yeah, that makes-

Benny Blanco 47:26 I absolutely-

Jay Shetty 47:26 Yeah, I can relate to that

Benny Blanco 47:27 ... I, I get that.

Jay Shetty 47:27 I can relate to that.

Kristin Batalucco 47:28 What is that, nerve? That's all your nerves.

Jay Shetty 47:29 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 47:29 I get that.

Jay Shetty 47:30 100%, 100%.

Benny Blanco 47:30 I have to, like, evacuate before.

Jay Shetty 47:32 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 47:32 And when I used to, like, uh-

Jay Shetty 47:34 I do it before, five minutes before going on stage.

Kristin Batalucco 47:35 Really?

Benny Blanco 47:36 Yeah. When I was-

Kristin Batalucco 47:36 Ugh

Benny Blanco 47:37 ... when, when I was younger, when I, like, first, like, really in New York, like, first got on the dating scene, I used to, any time I was gonna have a date with a girl and she was about to come over and we were gonna leave, I would, like, I'd have to poop, like, two minutes before.

Jay Shetty 47:55 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 47:55 It would happen every time until, like, I got really comfortable-

Jay Shetty 47:59 Yeah

Benny Blanco 47:59 ... with it. And I would, and I would be, I would be honest. Like, I used to use that as one of my, like, icebreakers. Or, like, my other-

Kristin Batalucco 48:06 You had to poop?

Benny Blanco 48:07 No, I would just, like, be-

Kristin Batalucco 48:08 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 48:08 Like, my other icebreaker I would say is I would say, "I don't usually do this, these, but what's the worst thing you've ever done in your entire life?" And then we'd both say the worst thing we ever did in our whole life. And I'd be like, "Okay. Now I feel like I know you, and I also have blackmail on you in case, like, this doesn't go well."

Jay Shetty 48:26 [laughs] How did you come up with that? Did it work?

Kristin Batalucco 48:29 No.

Jay Shetty 48:29 Did it break the ice? [laughs]

Benny Blanco 48:29 I didn't do it with, I didn't do it with Selena.

Jay Shetty 48:31 There you go.

Kristin Batalucco 48:32 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 48:33 I feel like you always think

Lil Dicky 48:34 Like, I, like, through dating, I was like, "Oh, like, I met my soulmate," or like-

Jay Shetty 48:38 Yeah

Lil Dicky 48:38 ... "Oh, I met the person I could spend the rest of my life with." But it's so different when you actually meet the person-

Jay Shetty 48:44 Yeah

Lil Dicky 48:44 ... that you are gonna spend the rest of your life with. It was such a different feeling. And a- and I, like, went back and I was like, "Whoa, those feelings when I was younger," like, the- it was so different. 'Cause it just clicks, you know what I'm saying?

Jay Shetty 48:56 Yeah, yeah.

Lil Dicky 48:56 It clicks in a different way.

Jay Shetty 48:58 What's Selena's reaction when she sees you cry at the altar? Like, at, on the wedding day. Like, what's her reaction to that? Trying to compare it to Radhi's reaction to me crying.

Lil Dicky 49:07 I think she cried.

Jay Shetty 49:10 Nice.

Lil Dicky 49:10 And then while it was all going on, we were laughing and just, like, talking to each other, like, while everything was happening. And I've cried, I've cried in front of her, uh-

Jay Shetty 49:20 Yeah, yeah

Lil Dicky 49:20 ... plenty of times.

Jay Shetty 49:21 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 49:21 No, I'm, I, I cry. I cry.

Jay Shetty 49:23 Yeah, I'm a crier too.

Lil Dicky 49:24 I'm a, I'm a, I'm a Pisces.

Jay Shetty 49:25 Yeah, I get that.

Lil Dicky 49:25 I'm a little fish. I-

Jay Shetty 49:26 Oh, you're a Pisces?

Lil Dicky 49:27 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 49:28 Dude, that, that

Jay Shetty 49:29 makes sense now.

Lil Dicky 49:29 Why, are you a Pisces?

Jay Shetty 49:30 No. All my, all my closest male friends are Pisces.

Lil Dicky 49:33 Really? What are you?

Jay Shetty 49:34 I'm a, I'm a Virgo.

Lil Dicky 49:36 Oh, that's-

Kristin Batalucco 49:36 I'm a Virgo

Lil Dicky 49:36 ... my mom is Virgo.

Jay Shetty 49:38 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 49:38 I'm a Virgo, but I don't really identify.

Lil Dicky 49:39 Okay.

Kristin Batalucco 49:39 I'm on the cusp.

Lil Dicky 49:40 You are-

Jay Shetty 49:40 I'm pretty-

Lil Dicky 49:42 Yeah, you're-

Jay Shetty 49:42 I'm pretty quite Virgo

Lil Dicky 49:42 ... you're like my mo- you do have similar-

Jay Shetty 49:44 Yeah, I'm very Virgo. My, uh-

Kristin Batalucco 49:45 When, when's your birthday?

Jay Shetty 49:46 6 September.

Kristin Batalucco 49:47 Oh.

Lil Dicky 49:47 Have you ever had, like, a person on here that's an expert at all that type of stuff?

Jay Shetty 49:50 Astrology?

Lil Dicky 49:50 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 49:51 Yes, I had an astrology expert-

Lil Dicky 49:52 And-

Jay Shetty 49:52 ... Chani Nicholas, a couple of weeks ago. A couple months ago

Lil Dicky 49:54 ... and did that, did that person make you feel like it's actual kind of scientific fact? Like, 'cause I'm al- you know, whenever anyone brings up sign or anything, I wanna be like, "What the [censored] are we talk-"

Jay Shetty 50:03 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 50:03 Like, that stuff's so inconsequential. But then there are so many times where it seems spot on.

Jay Shetty 50:08 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 50:08 Did that expert, uh, say that it's real?

Jay Shetty 50:12 You should have them on.

Lil Dicky 50:13 Yeah, we should.

Kristin Batalucco 50:13 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 50:14 Yeah, that would be really cool.

Kristin Batalucco 50:14 Yeah, I would like that.

Jay Shetty 50:15 I think you've got a lot of questions to ask.

Lil Dicky 50:16 Well, give, give us the-

Jay Shetty 50:17 Yeah

Lil Dicky 50:17 ... give us the cliff notes real quick.

Kristin Batalucco 50:18 You know what? That's-

Jay Shetty 50:18 Okay

Kristin Batalucco 50:19 ... well, you go.

Lil Dicky 50:19 No, no, no.

Jay Shetty 50:19 The cliff notes is I'm-

Kristin Batalucco 50:20 Yeah

Jay Shetty 50:20 ... I'm kind of like you. So I, I have an understanding of, like, Eastern astrology, which is very deeply scientific. The number of astrologers that are available are nonexistent now. Like, it's hard, but it does exist. And I've had people tell me crazy things, like predic- they predicted, like, how many kids they would have, and the first name of their partner, and all that kind of stuff. And then you have what we have today, where you have horoscopes, which, of course, the daily horoscope you read is, like, kind of made up.

Lil Dicky 50:46 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 50:46 And so it's kind of finding that balance. Her take was there's lots of truth to it. It's all based on the planets and how they align. There's lots of ways of checking the system and making sure that it's valuable insight. But the amount of people that are actually doing that today are very little.

Lil Dicky 51:01 Okay.

Kristin Batalucco 51:01 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 51:01 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 51:01 So it's almost like there's a lot of, uh, mics, not enough real MCs maybe. That kind of vibe. Like-

Lil Dicky 51:05 I feel like when I moved to LA, the amount of people that seem to operate off of that having so much consequence bloom, like, I, I feel like I'm on an island as the only guy who's like, "What? This isn't real."

Jay Shetty 51:17 Yeah. I've just spotted a weird pattern that all my best male friends are born in March.

Lil Dicky 51:22 Yeah, I'm a-

Jay Shetty 51:22 Like, it's just a strange-

Kristin Batalucco 51:23 I was March too

Lil Dicky 51:23 ... I was also born in March, Jay.

Jay Shetty 51:24 Wow. We haven't had enough time yet, but I'm looking forward to it. But seriously, my, my best friend growing up was 14th of March. My best friend who was m- my best man at the wedding, 16th of March.

Lil Dicky 51:33 I'm 15th.

Jay Shetty 51:33 My closest friend in LA is 18th of March.

Kristin Batalucco 51:35 Wow.

Jay Shetty 51:36 Like, it's just, it's crazy.

Lil Dicky 51:37 And I'm 8th of March.

Jay Shetty 51:39 Same as my sister, who I'm really good friends with.

Lil Dicky 51:40 Mm-hmm. 8th of March?

Jay Shetty 51:41 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 51:42 Do Pisces and Virgos click?

Jay Shetty 51:44 I as- well, I assume so. So many of my-

Kristin Batalucco 51:45 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 51:46 I know Pisces and Cancers really are. That's-

Jay Shetty 51:48 Oh, right

Lil Dicky 51:48 ... Selena's Cancer.

Jay Shetty 51:49 Thanks.

Lil Dicky 51:50 We gotta talk to that person.

Jay Shetty 51:51 Well, well, yeah, well, maybe you should have them on the show.

Lil Dicky 51:52 We should.

Jay Shetty 51:53 All right, what I wanted to do is I wanted to play a

Jay Shetty 51:55 game that we created for you.

Lil Dicky 51:56 Ooh.

Jay Shetty 51:56 So your show is called Friends Keep Secrets.

Lil Dicky 51:58 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 51:59 We came up with Friends Don't Keep Secrets.

Kristin Batalucco 52:01 Oh. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 52:01 Really creative. It was like, you know. But we played a couples game with Benny, so we thought we'd play a throuples game with, with you guys.

Kristin Batalucco 52:08 Fun, I love games.

Jay Shetty 52:09 So-

Lil Dicky 52:09 Throuple

Jay Shetty 52:09 ... I'm gonna give you one of these each.

Lil Dicky 52:13 Oh, I love this.

Jay Shetty 52:13 We did this.

Lil Dicky 52:14 Tech.

Jay Shetty 52:14 For Benny and Selena, there we go.

Lil Dicky 52:15 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 52:16 This is all about Kristin first.

Kristin Batalucco 52:18 [gasps] Cool.

Jay Shetty 52:18 So the way this work is the players will write down their partner's potential answers to questions before comparing answers. So this is all about Kristin. We're both gonna guess, we're all gonna guess what hopefully Kristin writes down.

Lil Dicky 52:29 Okay.

Jay Shetty 52:30 And then we're gonna see.

Kristin Batalucco 52:31 And I-

Jay Shetty 52:31 And then we're gonna do each of you. And you write down your answers.

Kristin Batalucco 52:33 Okay.

Lil Dicky 52:33 So we're writing down what we think Kristin is writing down.

Jay Shetty 52:34 Correct.

Lil Dicky 52:35 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 52:35 Correct. If Kristin could change one thing about Dave, what would it be?

Lil Dicky 52:39 I always had a fear of playing this type of game.

Kristin Batalucco 52:41 Can I-

Lil Dicky 52:42 Okay.

Jay Shetty 52:42 Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Kristin Batalucco 52:42 Why?

Lil Dicky 52:43 Hold on, hold on. 'Cause then I just would feel bad about, like, do I not know anything about the people that I'm so close with?

Jay Shetty 52:47 Yeah, yeah.

Lil Dicky 52:49 But I am confident.

Kristin Batalucco 52:50 In your answer? I feel like you know this answer.

Jay Shetty 52:51 It's also fun.

Lil Dicky 52:52 Okay.

Jay Shetty 52:52 Like, it's not like a therapy test.

Lil Dicky 52:54 Okay. Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 52:54 I literally say it out loud-

Lil Dicky 52:56 Okay, wait

Kristin Batalucco 52:56 ... all the time.

Lil Dicky 52:57 So- Mine's too

Jay Shetty 52:57 ... so the question is, if Kristin could change one thing about Dave, what would it be? Kristin, please reveal your answer. Read it to us.

Kristin Batalucco 53:02 That he likes wine.

Lil Dicky 53:04 What? What? I don't like wine. That's-

Jay Shetty 53:06 No, I-

Kristin Batalucco 53:07 The one thing I would change would be-

Lil Dicky 53:08 Yeah, change

Kristin Batalucco 53:08 ... that you'd like to drink wine. You don't like wine.

Lil Dicky 53:10 Yeah, but- You would change it.

Jay Shetty 53:11 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 53:11 I don't think you understand. H- hold on. Shouldn't she be-

Jay Shetty 53:14 No, if Kristin could change one thing-

Lil Dicky 53:16 I think-

Jay Shetty 53:16 ... about Dave, what would it be? She would change that you would like wine.

Kristin Batalucco 53:18 That you would enjoy drinking wine.

Lil Dicky 53:19 So she would change that I, that I don't like wine.

Jay Shetty 53:21 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 53:21 Correct.

Lil Dicky 53:21 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 53:22 Correct.

Lil Dicky 53:22 So what did you write? I thought this was definitely the answer. How I chew and smack my lips when I eat.

Kristin Batalucco 53:27 Oh.

Lil Dicky 53:27 Mine was-

Kristin Batalucco 53:28 That

Lil Dicky 53:29 ... going on dates or being more fun.

Kristin Batalucco 53:32 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 53:33 [laughs] What? I was amazing.

Kristin Batalucco 53:34 Well, I think that they're all-

Lil Dicky 53:36 I was certain she was gonna put that.

Jay Shetty 53:38 I thought you, I was 100% sure you were gonna say that.

Kristin Batalucco 53:40 I mean, I literally say this-

Lil Dicky 53:41 Seems like there's a long list

Kristin Batalucco 53:41 ... all the time. I say, "I wish you drank wine."

Lil Dicky 53:43 I mean, wine is kind of in, in the same world as that.

Jay Shetty 53:46 Yeah, it was the being fun.

Lil Dicky 53:47 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 53:47 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 53:48 The reason I didn't, I don't write this is be-

Lil Dicky 53:49 Did you think about that? [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 53:50 No, but you're also really good about not getting annoyed when I get annoyed with you about that.

Lil Dicky 53:54 But were you thinking about mine a little too? Well, I guess you were, 'cause you-

Kristin Batalucco 53:57 I figured you, I figured yours would be that.

Lil Dicky 53:59 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 53:59 Like, I knew what he was gonna write.

Lil Dicky 54:01 Right.

Kristin Batalucco 54:01 I thought-

Lil Dicky 54:01 My mom has been complaining about the way that I smack my lips my whole life.

Kristin Batalucco 54:05 Well, you have a little bit of a problem.

Lil Dicky 54:06 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 54:07 Okay, what's our next? All right, okay. So the next one is what's something Benny and Kristin always side with each other on that drives Dave crazy?

Kristin Batalucco 54:16 Actually, I'll just keep mine.

Lil Dicky 54:17 Okay.

Kristin Batalucco 54:17 There, there's two.

Lil Dicky 54:18 Okay.

Kristin Batalucco 54:18 There's two that I actually know.

Lil Dicky 54:19 Okay.

Jay Shetty 54:19 Okay, who, she's mine first.

Lil Dicky 54:20 All right, so the question was what's something Benny and Kristin always side with each other on that drives Dave crazy? Kristin, please reveal your answer.

Kristin Batalucco 54:27 Okay, I have two. The sec- well, the second one that I'm about to say I know he'll get mad about.

Lil Dicky 54:31 So you don't have to say it then.

Jay Shetty 54:32 Dave.

Kristin Batalucco 54:32 Okay. Well, I w- I like to stir the pot a little.

Lil Dicky 54:34 You can say both of them.

Jay Shetty 54:35 Go on then.

Kristin Batalucco 54:35 Okay. One, working less.

Lil Dicky 54:37 Oh, that was me.

Kristin Batalucco 54:39 Two is I would say

54:41 Putting music out?

Benny Blanco 54:42 No.

Lil Dicky 54:43 Oh. No, Benny's on my side.

Benny Blanco 54:45 Yeah, I'm on Dave's side.

Lil Dicky 54:46 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 54:46 Well, I'm some more-

Lil Dicky 54:47 No, you're on my side

Benny Blanco 54:48 ... coming off nicer while texting.

Lil Dicky 54:50 Oh, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 54:50 Oh, yeah, yeah.

Benny Blanco 54:50 That's what I thought was gonna be-

Lil Dicky 54:52 That's gonna be, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 54:52 I forgot, I forgot about that.

Benny Blanco 54:53 Hey. [laughs]

Lil Dicky 54:54 I, I, I wrote that I can be too hands-on.

Benny Blanco 54:57 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 54:57 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 54:57 Right.

Benny Blanco 54:57 No, I love that you're hands-on.

Kristin Batalucco 54:58 That's good though. We don't care about that.

Lil Dicky 54:59 So that's-

Jay Shetty 54:59 Wait, look, this is nice. This is good feedback.

Kristin Batalucco 55:01 We love your hands-on.

Benny Blanco 55:02 Okay.

Lil Dicky 55:02 No, but-

Benny Blanco 55:03 Chuck, I th- I thought you were gonna ... I thought one of you guys was gonna say mine.

Kristin Batalucco 55:05 Are we bad at this game?

Benny Blanco 55:07 No, it's hard.

Jay Shetty 55:07 No, you're good. No, this is good. It's a hard game.

Lil Dicky 55:08 I mean-

Jay Shetty 55:09 It's meant to be hard. It's meant to be challenging.

Lil Dicky 55:09 It's a hard game. Yeah, it should be hard.

Kristin Batalucco 55:11 We're, we're-

Jay Shetty 55:11 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 55:11 ... learning new things about our, about each other that we didn't know.

Lil Dicky 55:14 The texting was a good guess.

Benny Blanco 55:15 Yeah. All right. Thank you.

Jay Shetty 55:15 And the things is, you're, you're ... The things that you think you're, that people don't like you, actually they love about you.

Lil Dicky 55:19 Yeah. That was nice, Jay.

Benny Blanco 55:21 Yeah, that was-

Kristin Batalucco 55:21 We love you, Mochi.

Lil Dicky 55:22 I love you guys.

Jay Shetty 55:23 Yeah. Yeah. All right. When was the last time Kristin admitted that she was wrong?

Kristin Batalucco 55:28 [laughs] What makes you think I'm ever wrong?

Benny Blanco 55:32 [laughs] No, she, she ... It's, there's too much wavering to know, 'cause she'll go up and down about the right and wrong things.

Kristin Batalucco 55:38 Depends on what mood I'm in. I would say-

Lil Dicky 55:40 She was wrong.

Benny Blanco 55:42 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 55:42 I would say, I think d-

Benny Blanco 55:44 I can't remember

Kristin Batalucco 55:45 ... I'm just gonna have a little...

Lil Dicky 55:47 Do you know something? The last-

Kristin Batalucco 55:49 Mm-mm.

Jay Shetty 55:49 You can give a timeframe.

Kristin Batalucco 55:50 Yeah, I'm doing that.

Benny Blanco 55:51 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 55:51 Yeah. Good.

Lil Dicky 55:52 Long.

Jay Shetty 55:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 55:52 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 55:52 Like last month, 10 years ago.

Kristin Batalucco 55:54 They're gonna-

Jay Shetty 55:54 12 years ago

Kristin Batalucco 55:55 ... uh-

Jay Shetty 55:55 12 months ago.

Kristin Batalucco 55:56 [laughs] I mean, I don't even know if I'm actually wrong.

Jay Shetty 55:58 Yesterday? [laughs] You could write that down if you want, Kristin.

Kristin Batalucco 56:02 [laughs] I'm trying to think. I mean, I'm so in- infrequently wrong.

Benny Blanco 56:07 I don't remember.

Kristin Batalucco 56:07 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 56:09 [laughs] I love it. I love it.

Kristin Batalucco 56:09 I really ... It's hard to catch me.

Benny Blanco 56:12 When the last time did you ...

Jay Shetty 56:13 I like the thinking going on. This is good.

Benny Blanco 56:14 Think she's wrong.

Jay Shetty 56:16 When was the last time she goes, "Benny, you know what? I'm wrong. I admit it."

Kristin Batalucco 56:19 Well, we filmed-

Lil Dicky 56:19 Never. I know that. [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 56:19 It was the time that we filmed something.

Benny Blanco 56:22 Oh, only, only, only-

Kristin Batalucco 56:24 I just don't remember when it was

Benny Blanco 56:24 ... if she's caught in the act on the, like-

Kristin Batalucco 56:28 Only if I see the footage.

Benny Blanco 56:29 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 56:30 Oh, yeah.

Benny Blanco 56:30 Oh, she's-

Lil Dicky 56:30 Oh, yeah. That, that is, that is ... I know. Yeah.

Benny Blanco 56:32 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 56:32 Okay, go on.

Lil Dicky 56:33 It's just a specific argument.

Benny Blanco 56:34 Yeah, it's too specific.

Kristin Batalucco 56:34 What, what's the argument?

Benny Blanco 56:35 Uh, there's a bunch.

Lil Dicky 56:36 The trunk at the top.

Benny Blanco 56:36 Yeah, there's a few. Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 56:38 What was I... Oh.

Benny Blanco 56:39 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 56:39 You, you-

Kristin Batalucco 56:39 I don't know if I'm wrong. I have to see the footage. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 56:41 We saw the footage.

Lil Dicky 56:42 Basically-

Benny Blanco 56:43 No, you don't even need to. It doesn't matter.

Kristin Batalucco 56:45 I don't ... I'm free.

Benny Blanco 56:46 It doesn't-

Lil Dicky 56:47 I, I won't get into details

Benny Blanco 56:47 ... it's too, too much nuance.

Lil Dicky 56:48 Basically, they got in an argument that Kristin was claiming that Benny kind of-

Benny Blanco 56:55 Said something

Lil Dicky 56:56 ... brought something up to get under her skin.

Jay Shetty 57:00 Right.

Lil Dicky 57:00 And Benny was like, "You're the one who brought this thing up in the first place."

Kristin Batalucco 57:03 Oh, yeah, yeah.

Benny Blanco 57:03 Oh.

Lil Dicky 57:03 And she was like, "No, I wasn't." And then we went into the control room and we said-

Kristin Batalucco 57:06 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 57:06 ... "Play us back the or- how we even got here." And then we watched the footage as we're filming the thing, and Kristin did actually bring it up.

Kristin Batalucco 57:14 I brought it up.

Lil Dicky 57:14 She, she brought it up.

Benny Blanco 57:15 You'll, you'll, you'll see what we're talking about.

Kristin Batalucco 57:16 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 57:16 Wow. [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 57:16 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 57:16 It's gonna... [laughs]

Jay Shetty 57:18 Yeah, he was so happy.

Benny Blanco 57:19 That's amazing.

Kristin Batalucco 57:19 I just, I, I brought it up, but I-

Jay Shetty 57:21 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 57:21 ... but, but, you know-

Benny Blanco 57:22 No, but I get it

Kristin Batalucco 57:22 ... tensions, tensions were high

Benny Blanco 57:23 ... I get her, I get her side as well

Kristin Batalucco 57:25 ... I'm a new girl. I'm a new, I'm, I'm-

Benny Blanco 57:26 I get her side as well.

Lil Dicky 57:26 Okay.

Benny Blanco 57:26 Okay, next one, team.

Jay Shetty 57:27 All right. We did good. All right, all right, we're gonna switch to Dave now-

Benny Blanco 57:28 Oh

Jay Shetty 57:29 ... 'cause it's all about Dave.

Benny Blanco 57:29 Bread and butter.

Jay Shetty 57:30 Who does Dave trust most for honest feedback? Not just in the group, in the world.

Benny Blanco 57:36 Oh.

Lil Dicky 57:37 I know exactly what you're doing.

Benny Blanco 57:39 What?

Lil Dicky 57:40 Well, I think I know what you're th- what, what you're-

Jay Shetty 57:41 Do your-

Lil Dicky 57:41 ... what's going through your brain.

Jay Shetty 57:42 Don't let Kristin see.

Kristin Batalucco 57:44 Oh, yeah.

Lil Dicky 57:44 But to me, the answer is, is actually pretty simple.

Kristin Batalucco 57:47 The answer is ... Answers.

Jay Shetty 57:50 All right. So the question was, who does Dave trust most for honest feedback? Dave, please reveal.

Lil Dicky 57:55 Benny and Kristin is the answer to that question.

Benny Blanco 57:57 Wow.

Lil Dicky 57:57 Now, I know they both probably think Jack and Henry.

Kristin Batalucco 58:00 No.

Benny Blanco 58:00 What?

Lil Dicky 58:01 Oh. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 58:01 I said-

Jay Shetty 58:02 What did you write?

Benny Blanco 58:03 I said me and Kristin, and then I said-

Lil Dicky 58:06 Oh

Benny Blanco 58:06 ... friends from home, but I was thinking of the Joyner situation. But it wasn't, it was just that he was right, so.

Lil Dicky 58:12 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 58:12 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 58:13 Uh, both of them ... Like, look, Benny for music, I, I ... No song would ever come out without having him hear it and analyze it, critique it, say it's worthy, point out whatever flaws could exist. Kristin's the, the exact same thing for, like, TV and film. Like, any script-

Jay Shetty 58:30 Wow

Lil Dicky 58:30 ... or thing, like, I, I really trust both of their instincts.

Benny Blanco 58:33 What did you write?

Kristin Batalucco 58:34 I wrote his mom or me or Jeff Schaffer or Benny.

Lil Dicky 58:39 My mom told me not to be a rapper. She said, so-

Jay Shetty 58:42 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 58:42 Okay, so-

Benny Blanco 58:43 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 58:43 But I think, yeah. Okay.

Jay Shetty 58:44 It's you-

Lil Dicky 58:45 And-

Jay Shetty 58:45 ... on the list. You're just third on-

Lil Dicky 58:46 It's tho- it's those two, no question.

Benny Blanco 58:47 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 58:47 I love that.

Lil Dicky 58:48 For sure.

Benny Blanco 58:48 All right.

Kristin Batalucco 58:49 And so we got some of it, right?

Jay Shetty 58:49 And B, both of you are not narcissists. You didn't write yourselves, right?

Benny Blanco 58:52 No, I wrote-

Kristin Batalucco 58:52 No, I wrote myself.

Jay Shetty 58:53 Oh, you did? Oh, yeah, okay.

Benny Blanco 58:54 Yes. Yeah, that's she.

Jay Shetty 58:54 Okay. There you go. You both narciss-

Benny Blanco 58:55 Yes, that is she.

Jay Shetty 58:56 Okay, that's great. I love it.

Benny Blanco 58:56 I knew the an- it's not being a nar- I just knew the answer.

Jay Shetty 58:59 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, that's amazing.

Benny Blanco 58:59 Okay. What's our next?

Jay Shetty 59:00 All right. So if you called Dave because you ran someone over, would he help you bury the body, would he call the cops, or would he tell you to call the cops?

Lil Dicky 59:13 Those were my only three options? Bury the body, call the cops-

Benny Blanco 59:15 Whose, whose, whose fault is it?

Jay Shetty 59:16 It's Dave's fault.

Kristin Batalucco 59:17 Wait. He ... No, you're saying if he-

Lil Dicky 59:18 Oh, I kill- I ran someone over?

Jay Shetty 59:19 Yeah, yeah. You ran someone over.

Lil Dicky 59:21 Wait, yeah.

Jay Shetty 59:22 Yeah. And then you call these guys, and I'm saying would you tell them to ... Wait, wait, wait. I got confused myself. [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 59:30 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 59:30 No, no, no. It's all right. It's-

Jay Shetty 59:31 I confused myself

Lil Dicky 59:31 ... what if one of them did it?

Benny Blanco 59:32 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 59:33 Yeah, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 59:33 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 59:33 Sorry, sorry. If you called it... Sorry. If, yes. My bad. Thank you so much for correcting me. I was wrong.

Kristin Batalucco 59:38 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 59:38 Let this be-

Lil Dicky 59:39 Thank you. Thank you, Jay

Jay Shetty 59:39 ... in my statement that I admit I was wrong.

Lil Dicky 59:41 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 59:41 If you ran someone over and you called Dave-

Lil Dicky 59:45 What's he gonna tell him?

Jay Shetty 59:45 ... to tell him what happened-

Kristin Batalucco 59:46 Yeah

Jay Shetty 59:46 ... would he help you bury the body, would he call the cops himself, or would he tell you to disappear?

Benny Blanco 59:53 What-

Lil Dicky 59:53 Disappear is a new, new one.

Jay Shetty 59:54 Yeah, I'm adding a third. I'm changing it.

Benny Blanco 59:56 What if-

Jay Shetty 59:56 I had the opportunity to change it.

Kristin Batalucco 59:58 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 59:58 But, but is it our fault though, or was it an accident?

Jay Shetty 1:00:01 It's an accident. Obviously you didn't do it on purpose.

Kristin Batalucco 1:00:04 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:00:04 What would Dave tell you to do? This is, this is a test of Dave's character.

Kristin Batalucco 1:00:08 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:00:08 I don't know. It's-

Kristin Batalucco 1:00:08 I like framing it that way.

Jay Shetty 1:00:10 Yeah. [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 1:00:11 [laughs] I feel like I, I know. I feel like I have the black marker all over 'cause I've been doodling.

Jay Shetty 1:00:20 All right, Dave. What would you do?

Kristin Batalucco 1:00:22 I can see yours, Dave, but I don't look

Jay Shetty 1:00:23 Dave would disappear. They would tell you to... You tell them to disappear. I never wanna see you again.

Lil Dicky 1:00:28 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:00:28 Wow.

Jay Shetty 1:00:29 Wow.

Lil Dicky 1:00:30 I was kidding about the second sentence.

Jay Shetty 1:00:31 I-

Lil Dicky 1:00:31 But disappear. I, I, you know, disappear. Get out of here. Get, go, get-

Jay Shetty 1:00:34 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:00:34 I said he would analyze all the facts at hand. [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:00:36 That's what I would do.

Benny Blanco 1:00:37 That's another- [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:00:38 That's a great answer back to that conversation.

Benny Blanco 1:00:40 Thanks, buddy.

Jay Shetty 1:00:40 Kristin, what did you write?

Kristin Batalucco 1:00:41 I said he would tell, he would tell us to, to call the cops. I think at the end of the day-

Benny Blanco 1:00:44 Uh, I think he would have to analyze all the facts at hand.

Kristin Batalucco 1:00:46 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:00:46 Yeah, let's talk about this. There's a... This is the first question we've really had a-

Benny Blanco 1:00:49 Took- Don't you agree?

Lil Dicky 1:00:51 I definitely wouldn't bury the bo- Like, I, I, I think I would talk to... I, I can't get, I can't get wrapped up in criminal-

Jay Shetty 1:00:57 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:00:57 ... activity like that. Uh, but nor would I call the cops, like, like, behind their back ever.

Jay Shetty 1:01:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:01:02 I think I would try to convince that person why the thing to do is just call the cops and-

Benny Blanco 1:01:06 I think you'd have to analyze all the facts at hand

Lil Dicky 1:01:08 ... or disappear. Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:09 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:01:09 Disa- disappear. Like-

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:10 You would do the right thing ultimately.

Lil Dicky 1:01:11 Yes, but here's what... I'm not willing-

Benny Blanco 1:01:13 The right thing

Lil Dicky 1:01:13 ... to bury a body for you or anyone. I am willing to perhaps hear of something and just pretend that I never heard of it. Yeah. Uh, let's, uh, let's change the subject.

Jay Shetty 1:01:26 Yeah, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:26 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:01:27 We change, yeah, we'll change the subject.

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:28 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:01:28 We'll change the subject.

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:29 He does. You do a lot of OCD around that subject.

Lil Dicky 1:01:32 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:01:32 All right, all right. Okay. Uh, we'll do, we'll do Benny. We'll do Benny. Couple of questions on Benny. Good stuff for Dave. What's something Benny pretends doesn't bother him but actually does?

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:41 He doesn't really ever pretend.

Lil Dicky 1:01:43 Yes, he does.

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:44 Okay.

Benny Blanco 1:01:44 He... I do? Okay. Let me try to think.

Lil Dicky 1:01:47 I'm, I'm gonna try two.

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:48 I'm gonna do-

Lil Dicky 1:01:48 Can I do two options?

Benny Blanco 1:01:49 You can have two. Kristin could get this right. What is it? Or do I do mine first?

Jay Shetty 1:01:54 Yes. Benny reveal.

Benny Blanco 1:01:55 Putting things in my fridge incorrectly.

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:57 I was gonna say that.

Jay Shetty 1:01:58 Oh, that's a good answer.

Kristin Batalucco 1:01:59 I was gonna say that.

Lil Dicky 1:02:00 I don't think you pretend that that doesn't bother you.

Kristin Batalucco 1:02:01 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:02:01 I do for anyone else except Kristin. I, I, I-

Kristin Batalucco 1:02:04 I was gonna say, I was gonna say it, but then I'm like, "You're so overtly o-"

Jay Shetty 1:02:06 That's why you didn't let me put your stuff in the fridge today.

Benny Blanco 1:02:09 No, no, no.

Jay Shetty 1:02:09 Oh, no.

Benny Blanco 1:02:10 I didn't put it in the fridge.

Jay Shetty 1:02:10 What I was offering. What I was offering.

Benny Blanco 1:02:11 I just want it to be taken out.

Jay Shetty 1:02:12 All right. All right.

Benny Blanco 1:02:13 A, a little bit.

Jay Shetty 1:02:13 All right.

Lil Dicky 1:02:14 If he puts out something musically that has the potential to go number one, and it doesn't go number one, he'll say to, to everyone else, "I'm not bothered by not going number one."

Jay Shetty 1:02:29 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:02:29 But I think it bothers him to not go number one, to go number two.

Jay Shetty 1:02:33 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:02:34 If number one is achiev- You know, certain songs, they have no chance. Certain albums, they have no chance.

Jay Shetty 1:02:38 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:02:39 Um, so not going number one, there's-

Benny Blanco 1:02:40 You're saying if it's achievable.

Lil Dicky 1:02:42 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:02:42 You're saying if it's achie- If, like, if I'm gonna go... Like, if I'm gonna go 60, doesn't matter. But if I'm gonna go number two, one-

Lil Dicky 1:02:49 Yeah, yeah

Benny Blanco 1:02:49 ... and like, okay.

Lil Dicky 1:02:50 But number 60, you don't have-

Jay Shetty 1:02:50 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:02:51 Okay.

Lil Dicky 1:02:51 If you have the expectation that a number one is within reach, and you go three or two-

Benny Blanco 1:02:54 Okay

Lil Dicky 1:02:54 ... or 10-

Jay Shetty 1:02:56 I can relate to that

Lil Dicky 1:02:56 ... you're annoyed.

Benny Blanco 1:02:57 Okay.

Lil Dicky 1:02:57 Which I would be.

Benny Blanco 1:02:57 I'll tell you, I'm gonna tell you my answer after.

Lil Dicky 1:03:00 Which I am too.

Jay Shetty 1:03:00 Yeah. Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:03:00 Um, and then my other thing is, uh, Benny's favorite line-

Benny Blanco 1:03:05 That's related

Lil Dicky 1:03:05 ... as of this year is, "I don't care about anything."

Jay Shetty 1:03:08 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:03:08 I've never heard Benny say anything more than, "I don't care about y- about anything." And I think, uh, oftentimes that, he'll say that when we're talking about something that we both care about, and if it seems like I want something that he doesn't want-

Jay Shetty 1:03:23 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:03:24 ... he will say, "I don't care about anything."

Jay Shetty 1:03:26 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:03:26 But I know he cares.

Jay Shetty 1:03:28 Well-

Lil Dicky 1:03:28 He just wants to stop talking about it.

Jay Shetty 1:03:29 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:03:30 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:03:30 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:03:30 Okay. And then I'll answer them all after.

Jay Shetty 1:03:32 Go ahead, Be- Yeah, go on, Kristin.

Kristin Batalucco 1:03:33 Mine is not sticking with the plan. Like, with a plan-

Jay Shetty 1:03:36 Oh, yeah

Kristin Batalucco 1:03:36 ... or the plan, which is kind of-

Jay Shetty 1:03:37 Oh, yeah

Kristin Batalucco 1:03:38 ... in relation to, like-

Lil Dicky 1:03:39 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 1:03:39 ... I think I don't care about anything. If you, I- I think if you, if you start to feel the loss of control, instead of... Be- Benny will just be like, "I don't care about anything. Doesn't matter."

Lil Dicky 1:03:48 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:03:48 Ah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:03:48 But we, it does.

Jay Shetty 1:03:48 Go on, Benny. Get to defend yourself.

Benny Blanco 1:03:51 This thing I don't feel, I don't, uh, uh, un, even understand it really.

Kristin Batalucco 1:03:56 [laughs]

Benny Blanco 1:03:57 But I, I don't. But, um-

Kristin Batalucco 1:03:58 What do you mean? It's not sticking with the plan

Benny Blanco 1:03:59 ... the I don't care-

Kristin Batalucco 1:04:00 What, what more do you need to understand?

Benny Blanco 1:04:02 Uh, I don't understand the context.

Kristin Batalucco 1:04:03 Which part? Which part?

Benny Blanco 1:04:04 The I don't care about anything is like this to me. When I'm having a conversation with someone, I'll just use Dave as the example. When I'm talking to someone and, like, usually pretty quickly into a conversation, I can figure out whether this person is gonna be, like, even receptive to, like, the information that I'm saying, or whether I think that they're, they have, like, something made up in their mind, and, like, there's such a minute chance of me changing it, and then I say, in my head I say, "Well, is this ever gonna change? Is it that important if it doesn't?" And then just to nip it in the bud-

Lil Dicky 1:04:50 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm

Benny Blanco 1:04:50 ... I'll be like, "I don't really care about anything."

Lil Dicky 1:04:52 Mm-hmm.

Benny Blanco 1:04:52 And then that's my thing. With the number one thing, it used to be very true to me. That used to be so true to me. I was fixated on getting the number one at any cost. Like, even if it was number 40, like, I was like, I, I, like, had to... I used to be, w- when I was younger, I used to really, really care.

Lil Dicky 1:05:12 Mm-hmm.

Benny Blanco 1:05:13 So much that I'd felt like I wasn't even enjoying the things in front of me because I was, like, so... Like, I'd get the number one, like, i- in something. I'd be the best at it. Like, I'd have, like, a number one Billboard record, and then I'd be not even, like, celebrating. I'd be like, "Yeah, yeah, that's cool," and then, like, move on to the next thing, and I wouldn't even think about it. And I feel like, I feel like that was so true to me for so many years of my life, and honestly until pretty recently, until probably, like, four years ago. And then it was really solidified honestly with, with Selena because I felt like I won. I won it, and I already did. I already know that, like, I solidified what I wanted to do, and it was, like, the first time in my life where I didn't care. That doesn't mean that if it is in sight, I'm gonna do everything in my physical power to try to do the best thing I can, because that's just the type of person I am. I love the competition. I love striving for the greatness. But it doesn't have the same importance that it did have on me for so long. It used to have me in, like, a chokehold.

Lil Dicky 1:06:17 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:06:17 And then, like, I felt like I was finally freed of that, like, in the last, like, four or five years, and it was likeSo freeing. But I understand both sides. I completely do.

Jay Shetty 1:06:28 Yeah, yeah, I can relate to it, yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:06:29 And I understand, like, I used to be the guy looking every week at the chart, seeing if we were getting clo- And I was so... I put so much importance on it. And I don't even know why I did, because I didn't even care when I got it. Like, but I think I did care, but I was so fixated on getting the ne- I don't know.

Lil Dicky 1:06:45 You were probably just relieved when you got it.

Benny Blanco 1:06:46 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:06:47 Yeah, yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:06:47 Yeah, I, I think I was probably just relieved. And it was, like, such a rat race, and I'm so happy to be free of it. But I do also understand that side of me-

Jay Shetty 1:06:55 Mm-hmm

Benny Blanco 1:06:55 ... when I was so into it. 'Cause I'm like, "Yeah, I, that's cool to do that."

Jay Shetty 1:06:59 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:06:59 But it is also cool to be, like, totally free of it. And I think the healthy medium is probably somewhere in the middle.

Jay Shetty 1:07:05 Somewhere in the middle, yeah. Well, thank you, guys. Thank you for playing. That started off some really, uh-

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:09 I like this game

Jay Shetty 1:07:10 ... intense conversations.

Lil Dicky 1:07:11 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:07:12 We can do a few more, or I can take you to our ending three questions.

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:14 I'll do whatever.

Benny Blanco 1:07:15 I'd, I'd, I'd like to do a few more.

Jay Shetty 1:07:16 Okay, let's do a few.

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:17 Yeah, I'm having fun.

Lil Dicky 1:07:17 I'm good with writing on the board.

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:17 You guys should cancel all your plans afterwards.

Jay Shetty 1:07:19 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:19 I'm, I'm staying. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:07:20 Yeah. All right, okay. These are more fun ones. Who is most likely to survive a zombie apocalypse? Now you get to free-for-all. Write down anyone.

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:29 We, and it has to be out of the three of us?

Jay Shetty 1:07:30 Yes.

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:32 Okay.

Jay Shetty 1:07:32 Three, two, one, reveal.

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:35 What'd you say?

Jay Shetty 1:07:36 Oh, why Benny?

Benny Blanco 1:07:37 Ben.

Jay Shetty 1:07:37 Everyone chose the same person. Why Benny?

Benny Blanco 1:07:39 I just have s- more skill, like-

Lil Dicky 1:07:41 Da- I'm the last, no question.

Benny Blanco 1:07:42 Yeah. [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:07:42 If it's between those two, and I just think men physically are stronger than women.

Benny Blanco 1:07:46 What?

Lil Dicky 1:07:46 Physically.

Jay Shetty 1:07:47 All right.

Benny Blanco 1:07:48 But why would that have to come into it?

Lil Dicky 1:07:50 It's just me too.

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:50 Well, you have to battle the zombies.

Lil Dicky 1:07:51 I, I'm gone.

Benny Blanco 1:07:52 Oh, I thought it was, like, going by, like, the resourcefulness, the smartness.

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:55 Well, then I definitely would win.

Lil Dicky 1:07:56 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 1:07:57 'Cause I feel like I can strategically-

Lil Dicky 1:08:00 Kristin's pretty athletic too.

Jay Shetty 1:08:01 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:08:02 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:02 No, I just mean... Well, yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:08:04 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:05 I don't know. My instinct was to say Benny and-

Lil Dicky 1:08:06 All I know is it's not me.

Benny Blanco 1:08:07 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:08:07 I'm the, I'm the last.

Jay Shetty 1:08:08 Well, everyone rated each other on different scorecards, so.

Benny Blanco 1:08:10 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:10 Yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:08:10 Okay, what's the next one?

Jay Shetty 1:08:11 All right, the next question is, who takes the longest to reply to texts? [laughs] You're pretty responsive with me, is it?

Lil Dicky 1:08:17 Oh, Dave responds to every... Oh, Kristin. Ooh.

Benny Blanco 1:08:20 No, Kristin's so good. Oh, I guess-

Lil Dicky 1:08:22 No, she, Kristin's terrible. I d- I don't even-

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:24 I thought you always made fun of me 'cause I would never respond.

Lil Dicky 1:08:26 I actually think, I actually think-

Benny Blanco 1:08:27 Wow

Lil Dicky 1:08:27 ... I actually think Kristin's worse than you.

Benny Blanco 1:08:29 Wow.

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:29 I just don't respond.

Lil Dicky 1:08:30 Because both of them-

Benny Blanco 1:08:31 Does she respond to you?

Jay Shetty 1:08:32 Kristin has never texted me since we met, so that-

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:34 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:08:34 ... that, that says a lot, like.

Lil Dicky 1:08:35 Kristin will respond to only me.

Jay Shetty 1:08:37 Yeah. Yeah. Right.

Lil Dicky 1:08:37 And she responds to me relatively timely. Benny will respond to e- And she doesn't respond to anyone else ever.

Benny Blanco 1:08:42 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:42 No, it, it, that's not true. Let me say this. I mean, I do, I did, I do have a little bit of anxiety with texting.

Jay Shetty 1:08:48 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:48 So I, and I don't like to ever feel like I have to do some- Like, I don't wake up in the morning and read my texts.

Jay Shetty 1:08:55 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:55 Like, I think that's where I am going wrong.

Jay Shetty 1:08:57 Yep.

Kristin Batalucco 1:08:57 And now I have, like, I think 1,600 unread text messages.

Jay Shetty 1:09:01 Ooh.

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:01 It's-

Jay Shetty 1:09:01 It's gonna be, it's gonna be a lot more, DMs and... Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:04 Well, I don't look at my DMs. I've never looked at DMs.

Benny Blanco 1:09:06 She's not public. No, but now-

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:07 But I don't even look at my friends'. Dave-

Benny Blanco 1:09:09 She's still not gonna be public

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:09 ... Dave has-

Jay Shetty 1:09:10 You're still not gonna be public?

Benny Blanco 1:09:11 No.

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:11 Well, we'll see.

Jay Shetty 1:09:12 Wow.

Benny Blanco 1:09:13 I don't think you should. I like that it's cool.

Lil Dicky 1:09:14 Benny, Benny responds to every text, like, no matter what.

Jay Shetty 1:09:18 Yes, agreed, yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:09:18 It's just it's, there's like a 72-hour backup here.

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:21 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:09:21 Oh, see, that's not... You're pretty good, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:22 And he, and he does it, you know he's doing it in the morning, and it will, like, sometimes he'll respond to, like, a text that doesn't even make sense anymore, and you'll just get, like, "Ha ha ha ha ha."

Benny Blanco 1:09:29 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:09:29 Yeah, he'll respond to, like, a group chat, like, two days later, and, uh, and it's so not relevant anymore.

Benny Blanco 1:09:36 [laughs] But-

Jay Shetty 1:09:37 But everyone's moved on. Like, the conversation's done, he moved, uh-

Lil Dicky 1:09:38 Yeah, he's, but he's, but he's still, you know.

Benny Blanco 1:09:40 Well, I'm catching up.

Lil Dicky 1:09:41 Yeah, he's catching up.

Jay Shetty 1:09:41 Yeah, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:41 I text in spurts. Like, you'll, you'll, if, if, if I'm, like, paying attention to my phone, I'll have a, I'll be there.

Lil Dicky 1:09:47 Kristin, like, you know, her parents will be like, "Hey, do you think you could tell Kristin to respond to..."

Jay Shetty 1:09:52 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:52 I got a text on the way here from my mom that was saying, "Hey, could you read the family text and please respond?"

Jay Shetty 1:09:58 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:09:58 No way.

Kristin Batalucco 1:09:59 And I thought, "I am in the car."

Lil Dicky 1:10:00 She's, she's the worst at, at texts.

Benny Blanco 1:10:02 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:10:02 She really is.

Jay Shetty 1:10:02 Yeah. Roddy's the same.

Kristin Batalucco 1:10:04 It's hard.

Jay Shetty 1:10:04 I get... Yeah, Roddy's the same.

Kristin Batalucco 1:10:05 My phone's a beeper. It's just for emergencies.

Lil Dicky 1:10:08 I'll respond instantly with way too much.

Jay Shetty 1:10:10 Yeah, but-

Lil Dicky 1:10:10 With too much. Like-

Jay Shetty 1:10:11 I appreciate that though-

Lil Dicky 1:10:12 Yeah

Jay Shetty 1:10:12 ... because then I feel like there's texture to the text.

Lil Dicky 1:10:14 Yes. Thank you.

Jay Shetty 1:10:14 And, like, we can actually get somewhere.

Lil Dicky 1:10:15 Yes. Thank you, Jay.

Kristin Batalucco 1:10:16 Jay, I'll text you, just so you know that I'm capable.

Jay Shetty 1:10:18 I'm, I'm waiting for that text.

Kristin Batalucco 1:10:19 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:10:19 I've been texting with these guys for, like, a year and a half now.

Kristin Batalucco 1:10:22 Yeah, well...

Jay Shetty 1:10:22 All right.

Kristin Batalucco 1:10:23 Okay.

Jay Shetty 1:10:23 Okay, next one. Who would accidentally start a cult? Go for it. Reveal. [laughs] Oh, me? You put me in it.

Kristin Batalucco 1:10:32 [laughs] Benny.

Jay Shetty 1:10:33 I'm not one of the people. I'm not a cult leader.

Kristin Batalucco 1:10:35 I like, I... [laughs]

Benny Blanco 1:10:37 No, I was trying to think. I, we wouldn't be... Your, yours, your, you have more of, like, the soothing thing. Like, your, your, your message could, like, re- like, being, like, tranquil. Like, no one wants to join our cult.

Lil Dicky 1:10:48 The reason I said Kristin, I only said Kristin because-

Kristin Batalucco 1:10:51 We don't wa- I, I could definitely be, like, a cult leader. [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:10:54 Kristin, everyone likes Kristin, and Kristin loves everyone she meets and thinks she's gonna be the best friend.

Benny Blanco 1:11:00 That is true.

Lil Dicky 1:11:01 So it's, like, so many people that she runs into, she, she could end up thinking that they're gonna be close, and then all of a sudden there's, like, you know, a cult somehow. I don't know.

Jay Shetty 1:11:08 Wow.

Lil Dicky 1:11:08 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:11:09 I'd say I'll keep that.

Benny Blanco 1:11:09 Did you style your hair to be like us today? Yeah, I was like [laughs] ...

Lil Dicky 1:11:13 It's very styled and like-

Benny Blanco 1:11:14 My hair's always like this.

Kristin Batalucco 1:11:15 Yeah. You guys all have, like, a similar look.

Benny Blanco 1:11:16 It's different. It's different.

Jay Shetty 1:11:17 It's the first time we've had three people with curly hair on the show at the same time. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 1:11:20 You got a lot of staff. Did they give you all these? No.

Jay Shetty 1:11:23 No, I'm making them up. I'm making them up as I go. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 1:11:25 The first time we've had three people with curly hair. [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:11:28 Yeah, three people with curly hair.

Kristin Batalucco 1:11:29 It's true. You guys do have the same hairstyle.

Jay Shetty 1:11:30 We do.

Benny Blanco 1:11:31 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:11:31 Sim- We have, like, variations of.

Benny Blanco 1:11:33 Yeah, Jay-

Lil Dicky 1:11:33 Does your hair grow as long or will it, like, fro out?

Jay Shetty 1:11:36 Yeah, it's like, my hair's like-

Lil Dicky 1:11:37 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:11:37 My hair's like this naturally. This is my hair.

Lil Dicky 1:11:38 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:11:39 But it's like, I feel like it's, it's like evolution of hair. It's like me to Dave to Benny.

Benny Blanco 1:11:43 Evolution.

Kristin Batalucco 1:11:43 Yeah, yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:11:43 It's like, it's like that. It's like-

Benny Blanco 1:11:44 Evolution.

Jay Shetty 1:11:45 It is. Evolution. What do you guys say?

Benny Blanco 1:11:47 E-

Kristin Batalucco 1:11:47 Evolution.

Benny Blanco 1:11:47 Evolution.

Lil Dicky 1:11:48 Evolution.

Kristin Batalucco 1:11:48 But we, I like evolution. [laughs]

Benny Blanco 1:11:50 Aluminium.

Jay Shetty 1:11:51 Aluminium, yeah.

Benny Blanco 1:11:52 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:11:52 Huh?

Jay Shetty 1:11:52 Aluminum is what you guys say.

Benny Blanco 1:11:54 Aluminium.

Kristin Batalucco 1:11:54 Oh, you call it aluminium?

Benny Blanco 1:11:55 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:11:55 Aluminium.

Kristin Batalucco 1:11:56 Huh.

Jay Shetty 1:11:56 Aluminium. Yeah, there's an I in it.

Lil Dicky 1:11:58 There are, there are a few word- There's one word that you, I can't think of it now, and it's unfortunate.

Kristin Batalucco 1:12:01 The, the, the food. The food. What do you call it?

Benny Blanco 1:12:02 Courgette.

Lil Dicky 1:12:03 No.

Benny Blanco 1:12:04 Aubergine.

Lil Dicky 1:12:04 No.

Jay Shetty 1:12:04 Courgette.

Benny Blanco 1:12:04 Aubergine.

Lil Dicky 1:12:04 There's one word you always say.

Benny Blanco 1:12:05 Aubergine.

Lil Dicky 1:12:05 I can't remember it, but you say it different.

Jay Shetty 1:12:07 Oregano?

Lil Dicky 1:12:07 No, it's like-

Benny Blanco 1:12:08 Also, people say, they say, so you, in America you would say, like, "His name is Dave." But, like, if we were British, we would say, "He's called Dave."

Lil Dicky 1:12:17 How do you say innovative?

Kristin Batalucco 1:12:18 I like that.

Jay Shetty 1:12:19 Innovative.

Lil Dicky 1:12:19 That, that's what it is.

Benny Blanco 1:12:20 Innovative.

Jay Shetty 1:12:20 Yeah, innovative.

Lil Dicky 1:12:21 That's what you say.

Jay Shetty 1:12:22 Yeah, innovative.

Lil Dicky 1:12:22 Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:12:22 I had to think about it now 'cause I hear it that way.

Benny Blanco 1:12:24 And nonchalant you said funny too.

Jay Shetty 1:12:26 Is it? What is nonchalant?

Kristin Batalucco 1:12:26 I don't think you say nonchalant.

Lil Dicky 1:12:27 No, I say nonchalant normal.

Benny Blanco 1:12:28 Oh, no, you said it, said something different. Okay.

Jay Shetty 1:12:30 I say, I say, "Do you want me to be le shalant?" Like, are you joking around?

Benny Blanco 1:12:33 Le shalant.

Kristin Batalucco 1:12:33 Wow, I like, I like shalant.

Benny Blanco 1:12:35 Shalant.

Lil Dicky 1:12:35 Yeah. Yeah.

Jay Shetty 1:12:36 Yeah, shalant.

Kristin Batalucco 1:12:37 Maybe I should change my-

Jay Shetty 1:12:37 Okay, all right. These are the last three, because these, you don't have to write for these anymore. These were questions given by-

Benny Blanco 1:12:42 Oh.

Jay Shetty 1:12:42 So before the show... You can keep those whiteboards. They're yours.

Benny Blanco 1:12:45 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:12:45 I'll sign them later.

Benny Blanco 1:12:46 No, no, we won't keep them.

Jay Shetty 1:12:47 Uh-

Benny Blanco 1:12:47 We gotta res- ab- abrogate.

Jay Shetty 1:12:49 Asked you each for a question you'd like me to ask the other two people in the room

Kristin Batalucco 1:12:55 Oh yeah. This is hard

Jay Shetty 1:12:56 So these are the ans- questions you gave. We'll start with Benny. So Benny's question to both of you, and the answer has to be in one sentence. I'll maybe let you expand. The question from Benny

Jay Shetty 1:13:09 is: how do you separate work from your relationship? If you're disagreeing in work, does it spill over into personal and vice versa?

Kristin Batalucco 1:13:18 I would say that we... Well, I think you've been a part of it. I- Dave and I are real- This is, like, the one thing that's great about our relationship, and now I feel similarly with Benny, is that we can, we can, like, have arguments, and we can get upset with each other, and then, like, instantly kind of once we feel like we've turned over the stones in the argument or, like, gotten to a place, it's never carried over. Like, we've never been... Have we ever been mad more than a day? If even if a day

Jay Shetty 1:13:46 A day

Kristin Batalucco 1:13:46 I don't even think we've ever been mad for a full day

Lil Dicky 1:13:48 I've never been mad for-

Jay Shetty 1:13:49 No

Lil Dicky 1:13:50 Oh, oh, you guys. You two

Kristin Batalucco 1:13:50 Yeah

Jay Shetty 1:13:51 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 1:13:51 Are you asking about us two?

Jay Shetty 1:13:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lil Dicky 1:13:53 Yeah, I was

Kristin Batalucco 1:13:53 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:13:53 But then you said something about me

Kristin Batalucco 1:13:55 Yeah, sorry

Jay Shetty 1:13:55 Yeah. Let's go on, Dave

Lil Dicky 1:13:56 Kicking my foot

Jay Shetty 1:13:57 Take it away

Lil Dicky 1:13:58 Uh, I think he asked the question because we work so- we- like, beyond even just, uh, our multimedia-

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:05 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:14:06 ... uh, creation, um-

Jay Shetty 1:14:08 [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:14:09 ... you know, any script she writes, I'm, I'm a part of that with her. Any script I write, she's a part of that with me. So it's really... I mean, she's not a part of my musical process, though. That's my... I, I get separation there, um, because she likes more poppy stuff that I- I'm just like-

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:21 No, that's not true

Lil Dicky 1:14:22 No, she doesn't like pop music

Jay Shetty 1:14:23 No, she's the opposite. She likes less poppy

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:25 Well, d- one time I gave you a bunch of bops

Lil Dicky 1:14:27 Separation. She doesn't, you know-

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:28 He doesn't like to show me his music

Lil Dicky 1:14:29 I hate showing her my music

Jay Shetty 1:14:30 Oh

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:30 But let me just like-

Lil Dicky 1:14:31 She doesn't listen to lyrics

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:32 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:14:33 So I could show her-

Jay Shetty 1:14:34 Oh

Lil Dicky 1:14:34 ... a recording of me where the verses are " [singing] " and she would like that just as much as me, like, doing really clever lyrics. So-

Jay Shetty 1:14:42 Wow

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:42 No, but-

Lil Dicky 1:14:42 ... it's hard to-

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:43 He also, the... We, we, we tried, he tried to show me his music once, but it was so... I had to-

Lil Dicky 1:14:49 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:49 ... he literally, like, pulled up the chair directly in front of the computer. It was blasting the, the speakers were blasting, and I wasn't allowed to move, and I just... It had to be-

Lil Dicky 1:14:58 Yeah, I-

Kristin Batalucco 1:14:58 ... under his circumstances

Lil Dicky 1:14:58 ... I hate the way he sets up the experience

Kristin Batalucco 1:15:01 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:15:01 'Cause you have to sit there. I'm, I tell him, "I'm not sitting there. Don't show me the music"

Kristin Batalucco 1:15:04 I wanted to sit... Yeah, you-

Jay Shetty 1:15:06 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 1:15:06 So then I feel like it was a bad, bad experience

Jay Shetty 1:15:07 Wait, this has become about what we don't like about Dave again.

Kristin Batalucco 1:15:09 [laughs]

Jay Shetty 1:15:09 That was not the question-

Kristin Batalucco 1:15:11 No

Jay Shetty 1:15:11 ... that Benny asked

Lil Dicky 1:15:11 To answer Benny's original question, how do we separate? I mean, we, we... I, I selfishly don't always feel the need to because I, when we're talking about work or whatever we're working on, I f- I find it so inspiring and fun, and, like, I'm just like, to me, there's, like, nothing more fun to talk about. Now, so I look at it as, like, this is great. I get to have fun with my best friend, and we're being productive at the same time. Now, you know, sometimes I feel like, you know, I remember when I originally started dating Kristin, and I learned that she kind of has the same exact interests and passions professionally as I do. I did have the thought, "Oh, man," like, "Would I... Is it, would I be better off marrying someone who was, like, an English teacher, and there was, like, complete separation of church and state?" But now seeing the opposite, I'm so happy that we get to connect over the thing because, like, you know, I think there's just such a joy to me when I get to talk about the things I care the most about in life, which unfortunately is work. Now, I'm not working, like, some corporate drudgery job. I'm working on, like, the self-expression of my soul. So-

Kristin Batalucco 1:16:19 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:16:19 ... it's, it's different to be like, oh, there's no separ- I'm not, like, working at an accounting firm.

Jay Shetty 1:16:23 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:16:23 Like, I'm talking about, you know, how to tell these stories that I feel born to tell, and she's... It's fun. Like, we're talking about fun-

Kristin Batalucco 1:16:30 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:16:30 ... and creative shit. But-

Kristin Batalucco 1:16:31 You, you've helped me become, I would say, the... Like, you've, you've given me more confidence professionally. The good thing about us working together is you've given, like, I feel like over the few years that we've kind of, like, really co-meshed our professional lives, I kind of come from a, come from a place of, like, more self-doubt and, like, insecurity, and he's really helped me get, like, the kind of confidence to even be doing this.

Lil Dicky 1:16:54 Mm-hmm

Kristin Batalucco 1:16:54 And writing and stuff.

Lil Dicky 1:16:56 I love that

Kristin Batalucco 1:16:56 I feel like it's been really... I'm so thankful that I, you're, like, a good mentor and a husband

Jay Shetty 1:17:02 Great answers, guys. Beautiful. Really nice. That felt good

Lil Dicky 1:17:05 But we should, we should, we should go on more dates without talking about-

Kristin Batalucco 1:17:08 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:17:09 ... the tasks at hand

Kristin Batalucco 1:17:09 That's the newest thing-

Lil Dicky 1:17:10 That, that's the goal

Kristin Batalucco 1:17:10 ... that I've had to say. I, I think sometimes I'll be like, especially with the anxiety that I've had, which I'm on a new path forward, and I'm a new person, and I no longer create the self-inflicted torture of, like, anxiety about the podcast in particular. But there was a period where I was like, "We have to stop talking about work all the time 'cause I can't, like, mentally break away-

Lil Dicky 1:17:33 Mm-hmm

Kristin Batalucco 1:17:34 ... from it."

Lil Dicky 1:17:34 Mm.

Kristin Batalucco 1:17:34 And it was, I just, I, I wasn't... But now I'm, now you can sign me up for it

Lil Dicky 1:17:38 What was the time where I was like, "I don't wanna talk about this right now," and you kept talking? Oh, yeah, you were home. It doesn't matter. Who cares?

Kristin Batalucco 1:17:43 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:17:43 [laughs] 'Cause I was about to, like, do something with music where I just had to be in, like, the state of mind that-

Jay Shetty 1:17:48 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:17:49 ... and I was in such a good mood. I had no anxiety about anything with, like, the m- the podcast or whatever you wanna call it, and she, I said, "I don't wanna talk about it right now," and she just wanted to talk about it

Kristin Batalucco 1:18:01 Yeah. Well, th- this is an interesting... I did start going to therapy because I was like, it's important that he can't always be the, like... I have such a tendency when I have anxiety to, like, for me to get over my anxiety, I have to say every thought that I have, which it used to be okay. I mean, I'm sure it's exhausting for him, but it used to not be so related to what he was doing. So therapy has been helpful because instead of, like, taking him on, which he's still very supportive, but, like, I don't have to... Like, I felt like I was, like, bringing him down.

Lil Dicky 1:18:31 Mm-hmm.

Kristin Batalucco 1:18:31 So the therapy now is a lot easier for me to, like, just mentally spiral, and then I'm not putting it on you. So we've learned a little. We've, we've kind of, like, started to create some boundaries

Lil Dicky 1:18:41 And I learned, know now not to get her worked up when she's in bed

Kristin Batalucco 1:18:44 Mm

Lil Dicky 1:18:45 And I know not to, like, if I, sometimes I'm, I come in and I come up with an idea of, like, "We should do this, that," and then, then she, and sh- sh, and then she starts-

Kristin Batalucco 1:18:50 I'm very easily-

Jay Shetty 1:18:51 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:18:52 She needs to sleep

Jay Shetty 1:18:53 Yeah. Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 1:18:53 Well, no, I just would get, like, revved up and excited

Lil Dicky 1:18:55 Yeah

Jay Shetty 1:18:55 Yeah. Me and my wife are like, so, like, I'm the one who comes to bed and wants to chat and talk and, like-

Lil Dicky 1:18:59 Yeah

Jay Shetty 1:19:00 ... and she does not want to.

Lil Dicky 1:19:01 Yeah

Jay Shetty 1:19:01 And she's like, first thing in the morning wants to chat and talk, and I'm like-

Lil Dicky 1:19:05 Yeah

Jay Shetty 1:19:05 ... I need to, like-

Lil Dicky 1:19:06 Gear up slowly. So I get that.

Kristin Batalucco 1:19:07 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:19:08 And that's beautiful. Thank you.

Kristin Batalucco 1:19:08 We need to thaw out. I have to thaw out in the morning, though.

Lil Dicky 1:19:11 So this was Kristin's question for Benny and Dave. [laughs] "Do you guys talk about me when I leave the room?"

Kristin Batalucco 1:19:17 [laughs] You have to answer honestly.

Lil Dicky 1:19:22 Not really.

Speaker 1:19:23 Not, not really, no.

Kristin Batalucco 1:19:24 Cool.

Speaker 1:19:24 Not, not really. Uh-

Kristin Batalucco 1:19:25 This was a hard thing to- hard question. I couldn't even think of a-

Lil Dicky 1:19:28 The only- It's a good question. I like it

Speaker 1:19:29 ... the only time I remember, uh, that is at New Year's when I was like, "What are you guys talking about?" And then you, you- Dave said, "I'm not at liberty to tell you." And then he said-

Kristin Batalucco 1:19:42 Oh

Speaker 1:19:42 ... he said, and he was just, and then I was like, "All right." And then we just started talking about something else. And then when you came over, you were like, "Are you talking about me?" And we weren't talking about you at that time.

Kristin Batalucco 1:19:51 It's a question I ask a lot.

Lil Dicky 1:19:53 Mm.

Kristin Batalucco 1:19:53 This paranoia that as soon as I leave the room. But I know that I'm, it's mostly more of a joke. I know you guys aren't-

Speaker 1:19:58 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:19:58 No, we never really talk crap about her

Kristin Batalucco 1:19:59 ... like, shit-talking me.

Speaker 1:20:00 No.

Lil Dicky 1:20:00 No, we- Or, no, we're positive [laughs] We're positive.

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:02 Ooh, do you guys say positive things behind my back?

Lil Dicky 1:20:03 She's pretty impeccable to both of us. No.

Speaker 1:20:05 [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:06 Do you say positive things behind my back? Like, wow.

Lil Dicky 1:20:08 I said no to you. He said no. He just said no.

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:10 Ugh.

Lil Dicky 1:20:10 No.

Speaker 1:20:10 Yeah, I've said, like-

Lil Dicky 1:20:11 We do

Speaker 1:20:12 ... I've said, like, I was so blown away by how well, uh, Kristin's done. Like, I remember we talked about that before.

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:19 So you guys see me in the room?

Speaker 1:20:20 But I told you too.

Lil Dicky 1:20:20 We talk about you the way-

Speaker 1:20:22 I don't know, we-

Lil Dicky 1:20:23 ... guys talk about their wives or it's not like, we're not, like, talking about you professionally that often.

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:27 Good.

Speaker 1:20:27 Yeah, there's never, and there's never ... Dave's, like, never come in.

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:30 Do you guys not have this? Do you not have this fear?

Speaker 1:20:31 Dave's never come-

Lil Dicky 1:20:32 No. No, I don't think-

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:32 'Cause no, I live in a, a, I always am like, as soon as I leave-

Speaker 1:20:34 Think about the, like-

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:36 ... are they all talking about me?

Speaker 1:20:36 ... you guys are talking about me. No.

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:38 [laughs]

Speaker 1:20:38 And if they, and if you guys are talking about me-

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:40 I'm 10

Speaker 1:20:40 ... I'm like, oh. The, either there's a reason or, like, they're upset with something or I don't care.

Lil Dicky 1:20:45 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:45 Yeah.

Speaker 1:20:45 Like, I don't think about it.

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:45 I think I care, I, I care too much what people think, so I'm always like, even though it's, like, kind of half joking-

Lil Dicky 1:20:51 Mm

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:51 ... I will, I thought everybody felt this way, be like-

Lil Dicky 1:20:54 A lot of people do feel this way.

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:55 Yeah. Like, be like-

Speaker 1:20:55 Yeah, yeah

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:55 ... as soon as I leave I'll be like, I wonder, even if it's not bad-

Lil Dicky 1:20:58 Yeah

Kristin Batalucco 1:20:58 ... I just wonder if they're being like, "Yeah, she was talked a lot that time," or, "She said that really bad question."

Lil Dicky 1:21:06 She has so much self-doubt-

Speaker 1:21:08 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:21:08 ... and, like, s- circular thoughts of negativity that are the, our brains are, like, on hum positive.

Speaker 1:21:12 But I think so much, I think so much of that is women's conditioning in society.

Lil Dicky 1:21:16 Yeah.

Speaker 1:21:17 Treatment of women in-

Lil Dicky 1:21:18 Yeah

Speaker 1:21:18 ... in society.

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:18 Yeah.

Speaker 1:21:18 Like, that's my take on it.

Lil Dicky 1:21:19 I was gonna say that.

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:20 For sure.

Lil Dicky 1:21:20 I was gonna say that.

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:21 And AD- and ADD.

Speaker 1:21:22 [laughs] No, I'm being serious.

Lil Dicky 1:21:23 I know.

Speaker 1:21:23 I'm being deadly serious, though.

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:25 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:21:25 Me too.

Speaker 1:21:25 And like, when I talk to all my male friends, they all feel the same way.

Lil Dicky 1:21:27 Yeah.

Speaker 1:21:27 And then I talk to my female friends, they all feel that way.

Lil Dicky 1:21:30 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:31 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1:21:31 So I'm like, wait, what? That's, that's, you know, you can't then just ignore it.

Lil Dicky 1:21:34 Yeah. Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:35 And I think it's been a little bit more, um, it's been more exaggerated just because of the, like, the uncertainty about all of this being public. I feel like I live-

Speaker 1:21:46 Your hair's in your mouth.

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:47 Ugh.

Speaker 1:21:47 I'm sorry.

Lil Dicky 1:21:48 I can't see it from here at all.

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:49 Good.

Speaker 1:21:49 I didn't see it either.

Lil Dicky 1:21:50 It just was. It was. That's-

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:51 No, I appreciate it. I told you to do it

Lil Dicky 1:21:52 ... that was really beautiful. It was in her mouth.

Kristin Batalucco 1:21:53 I, I tell him to do this thing. Thank you.

Lil Dicky 1:21:54 Yeah. Yeah, it's beautiful.

Speaker 1:21:55 It's awesome.

Lil Dicky 1:21:56 Yeah, it's been exacerbated because you're dealing, me and Benny are also, even though, yes, we're men, we're like the-

Speaker 1:22:02 You've been public for so long.

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:03 Yeah

Lil Dicky 1:22:03 ... but we're like the two, no one believes in themselves more than me and Benny. Like, we don't think we're just-

Speaker 1:22:07 Oh, I know that. [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:22:08 Like, so it's like that compared to self-doubt, it, it, it makes it feel even more of a-

Speaker 1:22:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lil Dicky 1:22:14 ... cushion.

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:14 But I'm doing a lot better 'cause I realized that, I realized that so much of my self-doubt is, like, my default narrator, like, in my head.

Lil Dicky 1:22:22 Mm.

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:23 And I feel like this podcast will help me. I don't know. I could just crumble.

Lil Dicky 1:22:28 No.

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:28 You guys-

Speaker 1:22:29 I doubt it. I doubt it

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:29 ... you might never see me again. Not in a bad way. [laughs]

Speaker 1:22:31 No, you're so aware. You're so aware. I think, you know, I think part of it is just as hard as you are on yourself, you don't give yourself enough credit as well, but, like, you're so aware of-

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:39 Yeah

Speaker 1:22:40 ... what's going on in your mind.

Lil Dicky 1:22:41 Yeah.

Speaker 1:22:41 I think, I think if you're not aware, that's when it's really, really hard.

Lil Dicky 1:22:43 I agree.

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:43 True.

Lil Dicky 1:22:43 She's very, you're right.

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:44 Yeah. I like to hear that.

Speaker 1:22:45 You're very, yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:22:46 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:46 Yeah.

Speaker 1:22:46 You're very self-aware.

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:46 I'm doing okay.

Speaker 1:22:47 Yeah. All right. Final question.

Speaker 1:22:49 This was Dave's question. I saved what I believed to be the best for last.

Lil Dicky 1:22:55 Thank you, Jay.

Speaker 1:22:55 This is Dave's question.

Kristin Batalucco 1:22:56 [laughs]

Speaker 1:22:56 So Dave's question to Kristin and Benny is, "If I died, how often would you guys hang out or see each other?"

Kristin Batalucco 1:23:05 Wow. I, I feel like if you die, that'd be so heartbreaking and we'd be sharing, we'd be, like, experiencing similar pain. Well, me more, but I can't speak on behalf of B- Benny, but yeah, I don't know. Frequently? I don't know. Like, as much as we could. But-

Speaker 1:23:23 Jack, first I'd-

Kristin Batalucco 1:23:24 [laughs]

Speaker 1:23:25 ... obviously I would edit all the things to I know how you would like them, and I'd find a way-

Lil Dicky 1:23:32 You'd get the right features?

Speaker 1:23:33 ... to make ... Yeah, I'd find ... I, first I was talking about the show.

Lil Dicky 1:23:36 Oh.

Kristin Batalucco 1:23:37 [laughs]

Speaker 1:23:37 Then for, then I'd edit. I'd, yeah, I'd make sure to get the right features. We've spoken enough about-

Kristin Batalucco 1:23:43 Yeah

Speaker 1:23:43 ... I'd, I'd be able to at least, there's, like, 15 songs I could cobble together to something great, and I would, and I would do that, and I would make sure not-

Kristin Batalucco 1:23:51 But would you hang out with me?

Speaker 1:23:51 ... cobble together.

Lil Dicky 1:23:53 15 songs I could cobble together.

Speaker 1:23:54 No, no, no, no, no. To make something, like, truly, like-

Lil Dicky 1:23:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:23:58 But would you do it hanging out with me? Isn't that the que-

Speaker 1:24:00 That's the question.

Lil Dicky 1:24:00 No, no, no. This was a side.

Speaker 1:24:01 This is what, yeah. Would she, would she, would she be involved?

Lil Dicky 1:24:03 This is a side note.

Speaker 1:24:04 Would you involve her in the album process?

Kristin Batalucco 1:24:06 No, clearly he's not. [laughs]

Speaker 1:24:07 In that? No, no, no, no. But I would involve her in-

Lil Dicky 1:24:09 Like, the rollout.

Speaker 1:24:11 No, no. I'd involve her-

Kristin Batalucco 1:24:12 Would I still be invited to, like, the dinner parties?

Speaker 1:24:14 Y-

Lil Dicky 1:24:14 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1:24:15 Yeah, I think I would hang out with you. I think you would, well, I'd like you to fill, like, my, my Dave ro-

Kristin Batalucco 1:24:20 Yeah.

Speaker 1:24:20 Like, I feel like you'd, I feel like I'd be calling you, like, e- every day and-

Kristin Batalucco 1:24:26 That would be so, you can't, you have to, we have to protect you at all costs.

Lil Dicky 1:24:29 Or, or would you guys be so reminded of me when you saw each other that you'd actually have to never see each other ever again?

Speaker 1:24:36 No, no, no. We'd see each other all the time.

Kristin Batalucco 1:24:38 If I died, would you guys just replace me?

Lil Dicky 1:24:41 No. What? [laughs]

Kristin Batalucco 1:24:43 In the show.

Lil Dicky 1:24:45 No, it would just be a two-person show.

Kristin Batalucco 1:24:47 You would keep going. Yeah.

Speaker 1:24:47 What? No, it would be done.

Lil Dicky 1:24:49 Yeah.

Speaker 1:24:50 Or would we keep, I don't think we would keep you.

Lil Dicky 1:24:51 No, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be that interested anymore.

Kristin Batalucco 1:24:53 You wouldn't be able to. I'm glad you got all the footage, though.

Speaker 1:24:54 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:24:55 No one's dying. I hate talking about this-

Speaker 1:24:57 Yeah.

Lil Dicky 1:24:57 ... even though I-

Speaker 1:24:57 It's your question. [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:24:58 I know. No one's dying.

Speaker 1:24:59 We've got footage again.

Lil Dicky 1:25:00 I know.

Speaker 1:25:00 If everyone needs facts and footage.

Kristin Batalucco 1:25:01 Yeah. You brought it up.

Speaker 1:25:03 But guys, I am so, I mean, just spending time with you makes me just love the show even more, but I want to say to all of you, like, truly, you guys trusting me, giving me this opportunity to do this with you has been, uh, a highlight of my professional career, like, to work with all three of you because it's very rare that when you're like, you know, when I started my podcast seven years ago, I never thought I'd be helping create something amazing with the vision of all three of you, and I am feel so lucky and fortunate. So thank you for the gift, thank you for the blessing, and, uh, thank you-

Kristin Batalucco 1:25:32 Thank you for all your help

Speaker 1:25:33 ... for the opportunity.

Kristin Batalucco 1:25:34 Yeah.

Kristin Batalucco 1:25:35 We love you, Jay.

Lil Dicky 1:25:39 I'm definitely-

Kristin Batalucco 1:25:39 You help. [laughs]

Lil Dicky 1:25:39 No, don't, don't start making me this cult leader now. [laughs]

Speaker 1:25:41 Oh, no, no. I wasn't.

Kristin Batalucco 1:25:43 Yeah.

Speaker 1:25:43 No, you're, you're, you're, you're, like, the, you're, you're so good to balance all this stuff. I feel like you've already laid, you know, laid the ground. We're just trying to- I don't think it's that. You guys had a vision. You know what you're building. I think it's been, it's, it's been fun getting the opportunity to be a part of it. That's how I feel about it, so thank you for letting me be a part of your crazy, creative vision.
