Arden Myrin, actress and comedian extraordinaire, steps Behind The Rope. She may be an actress and comedian who has starred in some of our favorite TV shows, Orange Is The New Black, Grey’s Anatomy, Hot in Cleveland, 2 Broke Girls, Suburgatory and Teachers, but Arden is a Pop Culture Aficionado who loves Reality TV and Bravo. Arden covers it all - RHOC, RHOSLC is a blockbuster addition to the franchise, why Mary Cosby, Sonja Morgan and Jen Shah need a good hug, Below Deck, the classics like The Real World, Laguna Beach, Survivor, The Hills, The Simple Life, The Swan, Bachelor Nation and Love Island. Of course, we also chatted with Arden about her recurring role in Netflix’s past mega-hit Insatiable, all the controversy surrounding the show as well as what it was like to star alongside Alyssa Milano. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Arden Myrin.

Show notes

The RHONJ Taglines have arrived just in time for tomorrow night’s premiere of RHONJ. We break down the taglines one by one, rank them from worst to best, deep dive the meaning behind each and discuss what we can expect this season on RHONJ. Next we pause and take a moment of silence for the passing of one of our very own, The Namaste B$tches Podcast. We discuss what led to the end of that Podcast versus the fake narrative that is being put out there, the BravoCon of it all, the DM’s being sent around and other Housewives Podcasts that have failed. Vicki Gunvalson we see you. Heading west, we discuss Vanderpump Rules’ pause - the reasons behind it, how it will affect the show and when we can realistically expect this top rated Bravo show to return to our screens. Finally, we deep dive Rachel Leviss’ rumored new situationship / boyfriend Investment CEO Matthew Dunn.

DAVID MEISTER (on Lisa Rinna, Fashion Police, Project Runway, & His Best/Worst Dressed List) Apr 28, 2024

Show notes

Fashion Icon David Meister steps Behind The Rope. From a young age, David knew fashion was his calling, inspired by such fashion conscious TV shows like The Sonny & Cher show. Yes, Cher was his inspiration! He has dressed them all as well. In this case all includes, but is not limited too, Olivia Palermo, Debra Messing, Whitney Port, Pamela Anderson, The Jane’s Lynch and Fonda, Sofia Vergra, Sharon Stone, and Julia Louis Dreyfus. We also chat with David about Awards Shows, which is the most exciting to dress someone for and which is the biggest hassle. We also chat about some of the best and worst dressed celebrities - men and women. Of course, no chat with us leaves out Real Housewives. David has a new collection for HSN and let’s face it, when we think of HSN, we think of everyone’s favorite QVC icon, Lisa Rinna. We chat with David about what advice Rinna gave him as he ventures into this exciting new partnership with HSN and that time he dressed and attended the CFDA Awards with Rinna offspring and Fashion Icon, Miss Delilah Belle Hamlin!! Finally, we chat about Fashion in TV throughout the years - Fashion Police, Joan and Melissa Rivers and Project Runway. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only David Meister.
