<p>Randall Emmett steps back Behind The Rope.<strong>&nbsp;</strong>Back in a simpler time, before the exciting news of Randall and Lala’s pregnancy announcement, before the cast changes on Vanderpump Rules, back when all our favorite VanderKids were still a part of the gang, before Scheana and Jax and who knows who next was with child, we sat down with Randall for a special two part chat (Part I aired June 24th 220. Feel free to check it out).&nbsp;Today we bring you the very special second part to that chat.&nbsp;How interesting to listen to just how much things gave changed in what, six short months? Randall talks to us about his friendships in the Vander Group, how he became one of the boys, and what couple date nights with Lala and the other VanderKids is like.&nbsp;Randall and David discuss the evolution of the cast from living in small apartments to being “on top of the world”.&nbsp;Where else do you get a job as a waiter and end up a millionaire. From a Producer point of view, and Randall is one of the best, we discuss. We talk about how he would never be able to do Lala's job, or the job of any reality TV star who has to “put it all out there”.&nbsp;We chat about Randall’s upcoming nuptials to Lala and the cast, sorry Sandoval, who are most likely going to be part of the wedding.&nbsp;We also discuss whether his upcoming wedding will be part of the upcoming Vanderpump Rules season. Speaking of Sandoval, we chat about his current relationship with Jax and the tumultuous past season of Vanderpump Rules.&nbsp;We talk about other cast members such as Kristen, Scheana and James.&nbsp;Being a fellow Podcast host, we discuss “Give them Lala with Randall”. We also discuss Randall's new film as a first time director and his matchmaker abilities, think Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. Finally, Randall is kind enough to entertain all of David’s questions regarding 50 Cent and the legend that will forever be “FOFTY”!!!</p><br><p>@randallemmett</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p><br></p><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Brought to you by <a href="http://www.adamandeve.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.adamandeve.com</strong></a> (use code ROPE)</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p>Brought to you by Better HELP <a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Flipping Out’s Megan Weaver steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Checking in from her bed, no really Megan is in bed, in The Valley, Megan is here to tell it all. Owning her Valley Girl status, Megan takes us back to the beginning, her first job was working as a Production Assistant for Steven Spielberg. She worked on them all, Jurassic Park, Men in Black, Twister, Schindler’s List and saw them all Antonio Banderas, Tom Hanks, and oh, there was that one time she stayed in Leo DiCaprio’s Malibu Beach House. How did Megan get from Spielberg to Megan Weaver Design? One day she met Jeff Lewis in a restaurant bathroom, and soon Megan found herself working for our favorite House Flipper and starring on Bravo’s Hit Show, “Flipping Out”.&nbsp;Megan, being a prior fan of the show, recalls how excited she was during her interview when Zoila and Jenni were there, floating around working at Jeff Lewis Design. We discuss the first time she realized Jeff Lewis’ work style may be a “little different" than Megan was used to. Ok fine, that is an understatement.&nbsp;We talk about some of Megan and Jeff’s Housewife BFFS, Kelly Dodd, Shannon Storms Beador and Teddi Mellencamp.&nbsp;Yes Megan and Jeff did Teddi’s much criticized ALL IN Program. Do tell. She does! Megan discusses the fall out between Jeff and Jenni Pulos, the current status of that relationship, how that affected her own relationship with Jenni and what she predicts for the future of that relationship.&nbsp;Megan also opens up about Jeff’s relationship with Gage Edward, the end of that relationship and Jeff’s new man, Scott Anderson.&nbsp;We also discuss her work on Lala and Randall’s house as well as Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green's house.&nbsp;Speaking of Brian Austin Green (anything for a shameless 90210 reference), Jeff’s current neighbor is Machine Gun Kelly which leads to a very interesting conversation!&nbsp;</p><br><p>@megancatalina</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p><br></p><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Brought to you by <a href="http://www.adamandeve.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.adamandeve.com</strong></a> (use code ROPE)</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p>Brought to you by Better HELP <a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>The OG of the OC Miss Vicki Gunvalson steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;First Vicki fills us all in on what she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens.&nbsp;For those of you who don’t know, she bought a house in Mexico, had a stellar Whoop It Up Podcast (which BTVR appeared on), has been running Coto Insurance, and has just been enjoying time with her family (Steve, Michael, Brianna, Ryan &amp; The Boys).&nbsp;Vicki and David discuss the trajectory of being a Housewife - the beginning (so hopeful), the middle (save your $), the inevitable end (Cue The Five Stages of grief).&nbsp;We discuss the concept of resigning and quitting versus being fired and let go.&nbsp;Vicki lets us know what advice she would give, not only to Season One Vicki, but other Housewives starting out and what she has learned throughout the years during her tenure on the hit Bravo show.&nbsp;Speaking of the beginning, Vicki and David discuss how much the show has changed since the beginning - the salaries, the vacations, the women, the drama!&nbsp;We discuss the involvement of producers and editing throughout the years and the concept of “reality” as it exists, or lack thereof, in any reality TV show these days.&nbsp;Vicki opens up about her highs and lows during her fourteen years on the show.&nbsp;We discuss the evolution of her relationships that we saw play out on national TV - Don, Brooks, Steve.&nbsp;Vicki discusses her relationships with Kelly Dodd (where she thinks it all went wrong), Tamra Judge (going strong), Shannon Beador (can it be repaired?) as well as RHOC past Jeana Keough, Meghan King Edmonds, Heather Durbrow and Alexis (“Jesus Jugs”) Bellino. Vicki is honest about what she misses the most about Housewives and answers the age old question, would you ever go back?&nbsp;Finally, no sit down with The OG of the OC would be complete without a trip down memory lane regarding some of Vicki’s most iconic moments - the State of Oklahoma. Slade Smiley’s infamous comment and her plastic surgeries throughout the years, Lauri Peterson’s Ski Slope “multiple partners” and of course, last but certainly not least, just how many people can you fit into a family van?</p><br><p>@vickigunvalson</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Brought to you by Better HELP <a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Brought to you by Trivia Star (a Super Lucky Game).

So many questions, so little time.&nbsp;Ronita tells us how she went from a past career of stability and perks, at Apple nonetheless, to taking a chance on herself in the shark infested waters of New York Real Estate.&nbsp;She explains how she met Luis on her first day of work at Douglas Elliman (she has just accepted a new position at Compass), how getting on his team wasn't as easy as she thought and how she eventually wore Luis down and secured the coveted position of learning from one of NYC's best.&nbsp;We discuss their ever changing relationship, her breaking away and becoming an agent of her own, Luis' shocking decision to leave not only MDLNY, but also New York City and Real Estate in general, and the status of their relationship today. Knowing them all, we also discuss those other New York Super Agents,&nbsp;Fredrik Eklund, Ryan Serhant, Steve Gold and Tyler Whitman.&nbsp;We discuss the lack of women on the franchise, the important role of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles’ Tracy Tutor, and how MDLNY is, in fact, casting a female for the new upcoming season (any spoilers Ronnie on who that may be? Hmm). Being a huge BravoHolic herself, we talk about some of her favorites, Teresa Giudice, Kyle Richards, and Bethenny Frankel.&nbsp;We also talk about that one time her and Luis went to dinner with Dorinda and John and that one time her and Luis went dinner with Miss Sonja Morgan. Do tell. She does. Then there was the time she ran into Tinsley at the bar at The Marmara Hotel, where Tins was living at the time. Ahh, New York. Finally we talk about those other brillant Real Estate Shows, MDLLA and Selling Sunset, the differences, similarities, and why Real Estate reality shows are a genre we will never tire of. A fun, jam packed episode with Miss Ronnie Kalra.</p><br><p><br></p><p>@ronniekalra</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p><br></p><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP <a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p>This episode is brought to you by HelloFresh<a href="https://www.hellofresh.com/10velvet" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> https://www.HelloFresh.com/10velvet</strong></a><strong> (Use code 10velvet for 10 FREE meals, including free shipping.)</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
