<p>Below Deck Med’s Malia White Steps Behind The Rope. Quarantining from a docked boat in France, Malia is here to discuss it all.&nbsp;Originally from Oregon, Malia had no idea the yachting industry was her true calling until a few years ago when she got a call from Below Deck casting. Having had past experience working on small boats and teaching scuba diving in Hawaii, Malia was working at a desk job in Colorado when the casting call came. Why not?, she said, and the rest is history.&nbsp;Malia discusses some of her more high maintenance guests, both on and off camera, some of the most over the top requests she has received during her yachting career, how to handle celebrities you need to say “no” to, and the biggest tip she has ever received. Malia also discusses being the Below Deck Franchise's first female Bosun, sexism and the role of women in the yachting industry and how some of these issues have played out both last season on Below Deck and this season on Below Deck Med.&nbsp;Of course, we discuss this current season of Below Deck Med, her relationship with Hannah Ferrier, the rules when it comes to hooking up on board, the perception of Below Deck in the industry and what Captain Sandy is really like in real life. Whew!!&nbsp;Tune into this jam packed episode now on Behind The Velvet Rope.</p><br><p>@maliakpwhite</p><br><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><br><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><strong>&nbsp;</strong></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>

<p>Lots to discuss people. Lots to discuss. Where to begin? Audience Appreciation Day is alive and well with avid listener David Goldberg. What's the most interesting thing about David Goldberg? The fact that he listens to the BTVR Podcast. Not even close, although thank you. The fact that he was both Jill Zarin as well as Dorinda Medley's Personal Assistant. Oh yes, we have 101 questions and David G. is kind enough to answer them all about his famous, or shall we say infamous, employers.&nbsp;What WAS working for&nbsp;each like, what was the interview process like, what is the most shocking thing he saw and heard? Oh my, thank you David G. for indulging us.&nbsp;These two Davids met, where else, at a Countess &amp; Friends Cabaret - do we see a pattern here? They reconnected at this season's anti bullying event that was filmed for RHONY. What was that event like? Who ended up doing what off camera? David Squared are here to discuss all. Finally, the two&nbsp;&nbsp;Davids bond over Bravocon where Yontef attended as press on behalf of BTVR and Goldberg assisted Miss Zarin in the sales of her rugs. Assisting Jill also got David Goldberg backstage in the green room at Bravocon's Infamous Watch What Happens Live. Rinna, Gizelle, EJ, oh my. Jealous much - yes yes and yes. What a jam packed episode. As we said, lots to&nbsp;discuss people.&nbsp;</p><br><p>@indigoboydavid</p><br><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><br><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>This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP <a href="https://open.acast.com/betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></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>

<p>Melissa Rivers Steps Behind The Rope. David and Melissa get right into it like old friends. They waste no time in talking about dating, or lack thereof, during Covid and ponder whether dating is ever really worth it if you can’t sleep with the air conditioning at the temperature you prefer or if you have to give up sleeping diagonal?. Melissa lets us know how quarantine has been going with son Cooper and what quarantining with Joan would have been like. One way Melissa has been keeping busy during quarantine is with her own “Group Text with Melissa Rivers” Podcast where she talks about, well, everything her friends and her talk about in a group text. #brilliant #funny. Reflecting back on her own life, as well as the life of her Icon, Comedic Genius, Legend of a Mother Joan Rivers, we discuss the origins of “Who Are You Wearing” and how that one phrase changed Red Carpets forever. That one phrase ultimately also helped lead to a little TV show known as “Fashion Police”, where Melissa was Executive Producer and later Host. Speaking of Fashion Police Hosts, we discuss Melissa’s colleagues Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic, George Kotsiopoulos, Nene Leakes, Brad Goreski, and Margaret Cho. Fashion has certainly taken a turn this year, but Melissa lets us know who is winning quarantine fashion and what Joan would think about wearing a mask. As far as comedy goes, Melissa discusses her favorite current female comics. Finally, we end with a game of rapid fire hot takes on some of life’s greatests: Madonna, Cher, Brad and Angie, Oprah, Beyonce and so much more!!</p><br><p>@melissariversofficial</p><p>@melissariversgrouptext</p><p>@behindvelvetrope&nbsp;</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episode Alert!!! <strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by<a href=" betterhelp.com/velvetrope (" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> betterhelp.com/velvetrope (</strong></a>Better Help)</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>

Next Jess explains her “relationship" with Dorit.&nbsp;Her “relationship” with Dorit includes that one time Dorit bought baby furniture from the store she worked at. With Dorit, all roads lead back to her finances and Jess is happy to explain exactly how Dorit bought her house, the “real" story behind Beverly Beach, and so on.&nbsp;It is in the small details people.&nbsp;Jess also talks to us about her very checkered past with Kyle Richards (spoiler alert - she isn’t a fan) and her less checkered past with Mauricio Umansky.&nbsp;We do a deep dive on BFF Eden Sassoon - no really they are BFFs and the past and current state of Kyle’s relationship with Eden.&nbsp;Oh yea, she has also run in to Rinna several times. Last but certainly not least there was that one time she confronted Teddi Mellencamp in the locker room at Soul Cycle after getting rejected from her ALL IN by Teddi program. Say whaaat? Tune in now to hear all the real life RHOBH behind the scenes from the always unfiltered blond Unfiltered Podcast host, Jess Z.</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@blonde_unfiltered***</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@behindvelvelvetrope***</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@davidyontef***</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</a> ***</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP - &nbsp;<a href="https://open.acast.com/shows/5e2de045153eb2964a758d46/episodes/betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">betterhelp.com/velvetrope</a></blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><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>

<blockquote>Colin Macy-O’Toole from Below Deck Med steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Colin discusses why he thinks the Below Deck Franchise (Below Deck, Below Deck Med and Sailing Yacht) is amongst the highest rated of all of Bravo’s shows.&nbsp;He then enlightens us on the reputation of the Below Deck series in the real life “yachting” industry and the differences between a real life charter and&nbsp;that which we see on TV.&nbsp;Of course, we need answers to some of life's most burning questions - the highest tip he has ever received, the best charter guest, the worst charter guest, Chef Adam or Chef Ben and the most outrageous demand a guest has ever made. We then discuss this current season of Below Deck Med and his relationships with both Captain Sandy and Hannah Ferrier.&nbsp;Colin explains how he got hired to work on the Below Deck yacht and cast on the Bravo juggernaut, which was supposed to&nbsp;originally be for a different season with Captain Lee.&nbsp;Colin also shares his thoughts on his relationships off&nbsp;camera with Below Deck past and present: Kate&nbsp;Chastain, Malia White,&nbsp;Joao Franco, and Anastasia Surmava.&nbsp;Colin lets us know how his Podcast&nbsp;“Radio Check” is going as well as his&nbsp;“booming” Rap Career.&nbsp;Finally,&nbsp;having been a Fire Island Ferry Captain he talks, with our prodding, about some of his famous guests such as Scar Jo, Jimmy Fallon, and Wanda Sykes. Of course, we also&nbsp;discuss one of Fire&nbsp;Island’s most&nbsp;famous Summer Residents, Andy Cohen, and that one time he and&nbsp;Colin met in a rather&nbsp;“compromising” situation. Pull up those anchors and listen in.</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote class="ql-indent-1">@colin_macyotoole</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote class="ql-indent-1">@behindvelvetrope</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote class="ql-indent-1">@davidyontef</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote class="ql-indent-1">This Episode is brought to you by Better H-E-L-P <a href="betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">betterhelp.com/velvetrope</a></blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote class="ql-indent-1"><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</a></blockquote><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>

<blockquote>Vanderpump Rules may be over for the season but Jeremy Madix Steps Behind The Rope. Taking time out of his busy work day running Madix cannabis, Jeremy chats about his day job, when not seen working at Sur on Vanderpump Rules. Jeremy is busier more now than ever with work. Ok, on to some&nbsp;Vanderpump Rules talk. What was it like being there in the beginning&nbsp;before the VanderWorld became as big as it now is? What is it like hanging with The Toms and rest of the cast? How did Jeremy end up living in&nbsp;Tom and Ariana’s old apartment? Does he think Tom and Ariana will ever tie the knot? What does his family think about Fancy AF&nbsp;Cocktails and all the&nbsp;success Ariana has achieved at such a young age? Jeremy's favorite drink at Sur and the most popular drink at Sur? These and&nbsp;other&nbsp;burning questions in the VanderVerse are answered. Thank you Jeremy!</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@jeremymadix</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@behindvelvetrope</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@davidyontef</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</a></blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><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>
