Today for the first time in Friends Keep Secrets history, we've left the house and hit the streets, with the goal of convincing one random stranger to enter our home and be interviewed. Honestly we were not prepared for how many people said no. We just weren't completely psychologically prepared to deal with that level of rejection, especially in our own neighborhood during a heatwave. But in our darkest hour, something truly magical happened. The universe aligned. They say you should never get in a stranger's car, but today we did exactly that, and then we let that stranger inside our house. The afternoon that followed ended up exceeding our wildest expectations, as we were introduced to not one but two unbelievable new talents. So lock in and prepare for an unforgettable multimedia experience, and if you see us wandering around your neighborhood someday, consider stopping and letting us into your vehicle. You just might be our next mystery guest. We respect you!

This episode is about the biggest questions there are. We’re talking God, souls, reincarnation, fortune tellers, aliens, death, consciousness, cults, the afterlife, atoms and jury duty. We may not have concrete answers to many of these questions because ultimately nobody knows anything, but it’s hard to deny that something could certainly be afoot. Much respect to all organized religions (though it shouldn’t ever cause war). Thanks for watching!

Kenny G, our parents made love to thee. Honestly the smooth jazz station they did it to would not even exist without Kenny G. This man still practices 3 hours a day, he still has the hair, and today he woke up at 5:15am just to get his workout in before he came to our house. He can hold one note for half an hour without ever taking a breath. Does it require this level of unbelievable intensity to be this smooth? Or is this merely a man who has never truly tested his limits? Dave intends to get to the bottom of this, and many other things, on today’s episode. Thanks for watching us hang out with Kenny G. We respect you!
