Benny Blanco has just launched a new show – and somehow his feet stole the limelight.
The Grammy-winning producer debuted Friends Keep Secrets on February 24 alongside Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco. But before fans could fully absorb the chaos (which included a very frivolous debate about Lil Dicky’s bump and future guests), viewers noticed something else.
Mid-chat – while insisting that the series should not be called a podcast – Benny casually put his bare feet on the couch. The camera did the rest. The soles? Noticeably coated with black dirt and dust.
YouTube commenters wasted no time.
“Good podcast, wash your feet benny and wash the floors,” one fan wrote.
Another added: “These daws need to be flushed down.”
Over on X, one viewer declared: “The year is 2026 but Benny Blanco is still stuck in the Stone Age.”
Yes, the internet went there.
The timing is especially spicy, as Benny – who married Selena Gomez in September – aimed to focus on friendship, not foot hygiene. (For those curious: wikiFeet currently rates the situation at three out of five stars.)
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on February 24, Benny explained his leap into space: “For all the Andrew Tates and horrible people in this world, I saw an opening because I love hanging out with my friends,” he said, “and it just so happens that my two best friends are the funniest people I know and maybe the funniest people in the world.”
He added, “And we have such an eclectic group of friends, so sometimes the person we’re talking to will be my mom, and sometimes it’ll be Selena Gomez.”
Suggestions for the next episode? Socks.
