    So good!
    Love the episodes with Amir! And love Dr Mann! Those are definitely my favorite! Please more quick hits too
  • bananrama98
    Longevity.
    There is a reason why this pod is still at the top of its game. In an industry where many come and go, 6 months pod here and one year there, there’s something to be said about someone who brings it, successfully and humorously every single day for years and years and still keeps it fresh. Don’t ever go anywhere DY…

  • Tired Housewife of 6
    Funny and great insight!
    Love love love David! Great insight and spot on life advice I am also a nurse and listen to you and Sarah on my 20 min lunch break to decompress and you always make me laugh. You help me get through the day!

    WELSEWDD
    That’s right - WHAT ELSE WOULD DAVID DO? It’s a question I’m asking myself more and more lately as David seems to still be the only podcast host not afraid to speak his mind. Own it all honey!!!! If people wanted you to speak kindly about them, they should have behaved better!
  • Schilling1311
    Love
    I’ve been listening for years And keep coming back because you say it how it is. Love your thoughts on Tre. So true and love that you speak the truth! Living for it!
  • mugsy207
    Yes! More JLL!!
    I am quick to listen to any Jeff Lewis Live content. Patrik and Pol are hysterical—that show is like a daily reality show in real time. Thanks!
  • i want the lying game now!
    Word salad
    He repeats all the time to make his podcast longer so he can throw in more commercials. Must have been the speech writer for Kamala. Other podcasts covering those topics actually cover the topic and not talk about themselves all the time and repeat themselves constantly.
  • -so sick of it
    Occasional listener
    needs more inside scoops to make me a regular
  • candibold
    Ya know what I’m saying ?
    Flava flav needs to learn how to do an interview without asking if you know what I’m saying before and after every sentence ! That was a hard one to get through thank god it was only 29 minutes
  • lev.a7
    David has been crushing it with these guest appearances
    One of the best bravo podcasts! There’s a reason why he’s actually been on featured on show not once but twice!! Have been listening for years and will continue to!!!
  • Bulsonator
    One of my favorites!
    If you love bravo content you will love this podcast!!! I corrected the host on instagram and they immediately acknowledged the mistake (which many hosts do not do)

    David 🥇Sarah
    Best Reality Podcast Of Them ALL. Even Better When Sarah Joins In. David Your Hard Work Bringing Us The Hottest Tea Shows Time And Time Again. A Must Listen!! 🏆
  • MillsHills
    Used to love this
    Used to love this but it had become so negative. What used to be a guilty pleasure has become so insufferable.
  • I know this, much is…
    Painful
    Just brutal
  • TaffyDavenport
    Too Many Commercials
    I enjoy the show, but I’m sick of spending half of my time fast forwarding through the many commercials.
  • solomonsebastian
    Teddi
    Very serious for TM & I agree with you David! She should do whatever she wants! She should shut down two teas in a pod forever. She should shut down her Instagram forever. She should love her children forever while she can. She should stop with her forever. Those children will need their father Edwin for everything coming . Teddi saying that she was divorcing their father ; needs to stop. I don’t know how Teddi can physically get permission to ride horses, but whatever that’s about Good for her. Teddi should leave Bravo altogether and have her private life with her long-term friends and her family and just live out the rest of her life. With happiness.
  • KatienGuinness
    No
    I don’t usually bother to write bad reviews but the weird threats over the airwaves were off putting. I specifically listened to one show that had a recognizable name in the title only to hear him threatening her and saying she can BLANK “the 10 incher”….. gross obnoxious and rude…. Will never listen again.
  • MV4AR
    Daily Listen
    I think David is such a talented podcaster, and so much more. Loved the way he relaxes and gets so playful in a recent interview with Patrik and Pol. A really fun and informative listen. Thank you David!!
  • 410mstahl
    New interviews.
    Can you not get the housewives to come on anymore? The blasts from the past are so irrelevant. 🤦🏼‍♀️
  • Walker0629
    New find
    Great show and love your honesty and humor!! I’m a new listener so thanks!!
  • Ca$hhh
    Love the podcast
    Love how real David keeps it!!

    Psychic source
    I’ve always loved David & his straight shooting, funny, original & unapologetic podcast but I’m really loving his new psychic source segments!
  • xsjauny
    No
    No on Kathryn and patreek please
  • Gls.catolica
    Love it
    Love every minute
  • Mooooooorina
    Ditch Kathryn, Keep Sarah
    Kathryn brings absolutely nothing. I’ve been a die hard bravo fan for years and I cannot remember her to save my life. She’s giving Dana for trying to be relevant. On the other hand, love Sarah Frasure!! Great commentary and professional.

    Anti Christianity slurs
    We get that you are Jewish and respect you and have gone to bat for the Jewish community. Please stop saying Jesus. f— ing Christ. It is not cute. It is disgusting and it is an insult to those of us who listen to your podcast. You have enough education to know better- so do better.
  • Nmac30
    Wrong about super hero community
    I need Sarah to do a little more research on topics. I am part of the geek community. Who was a big Ryan fan. The geek community is talking about this controversy. Most are team Justin.
  • Jazzy JFS
    Thank you!
    Thank you so much for helping me escape my reality each day! I respect how hard you work to provide new and interesting programs multiple times a day, especially on Patreon! You’re making an escapism difference !!!! xoxo
  • Raleighsmomma
    My daily go-to
    This has quickly become my absolute favorite podcast and my daily fix for all celeb and BRAVO news! Love all the insider tea and nicknames. David and Sarah are a crack-up together. Love you guys! So authentic and fun!
  • Seetpea7
    ⭐️
    Not worth a listen, 2 weeks behind on all the gossip… and repeats himself over and over again! 🤮🤮
  • CLS/mom of five
    Sarah/Jen Shah
    I 100% agree with everything Sarah said about Jen & coach. I too will never watch her on TV. Thank you for saying exactly what I think.
  • TexasGirl12821
    Doing GREAT
    next 4 years are going to be a political nightmare, so I have decided to say something POSITIVE to everyday and send that out into the universe 🫶🏻 You are killing it David! YEAH YOU
  • samandkiki
    So good
    It was a grower not a shower, but it’s ones of my go to shows now!
  • rachelu
    Like David’s honesty
    David, your podcast inspires me because you speak your truth. You are a worker and observer of society and I agree with so many of your opinions. I like how you have a pulse on reality TV while also not being garaje to express your opinions even if they’re not popular. You also don’t care what people think. Love your rapport with Sara Fraser.
  • Stoney2322
    Not for me anymore
    I used to be a loyal listener and Patreon subscriber. I listened to an ep for the first time in a while and it’s just too negative. Pop culture is a clown show and I prefer pods that lead with humorous analysis. This podcast is mostly just housewives drama with a negative spin. It’s so tired. David can do whatever he wants-it’s his pod. But I’m moving on to pods that make me smile.
  • BOBBYAI1
    A Must-Listen for Pop Culture Enthusiasts!
    I can confidently say that “Behind the Velvet Rope” is a gem in the world of podcasts. David’s relaxed and friendly interview style makes every episode a delight to listen to. He has a unique ability to ask the pressing questions we all want answered, whether he’s chatting with Real Housewives, musicians, comedians, or reality stars. David’s dedication to bringing fresh content daily is truly impressive. The variety of guests and the depth of conversations keep me coming back for more. It’s no wonder this podcast has been recognized by so many major publications and ranked as the #1 Real Housewives/Reality TV podcast by BuzzFeed. If you’re a fan of pop culture and reality TV, this podcast is a must-listen. David’s insights and the behind-the-scenes stories he uncovers are both entertaining and enlightening. Highly recommend!
  • gofallonyourhead
    Not even worth a hate listen
    Edited to say now I check in to hear the inevitable breakup of Oscar & Elmo. You can tell it’s coming! Elmo, eventually he’ll be talking about you the way he talks about the others, and you know it. Want the most garbage take on just about anything? Then Yontef the Grouch and his trash can pal Elmo Fraser are perfect!
  • d cornejo
    Blah
    Don’t bother listening to this crappy show
  • labyke
    The psychic
    Sweet lady but doesn’t seem to have a gift just common knowledge
  • Taylor Krouse
    Big fan!
    I listen every week but I haven’t been loving the random guests…
  • robingrl💝
    Paris
    Paris is an original. The director Alexandra Dean was an amazing interview. The documentary was so superb and I feel this interview was at the that level too. Thank you David.
  • R/de
    No
    I simply can’t listen bc the intro song is so insane and terrible
  • Kody is a divil
    organically “out.”
    -David would, typically, elicit a 5-star review from me, but this guest he had… I didn’t stick around long enough to see who he is—- He kept using the word “organic”..and “organically” …DOZENS of times.. .I whispered “if he says it again, I’m out”. He did and I was.. guy needs to sift out some synonyms for the word organic. yikes. -It was as obnoxious as those who pepper their sentences with the phrase “at the end of the day.” Total tomfoolery…
  • Traverse6$
    Drama Queen
    Ummmm,I mean… Every other sentence. Delusions of grandeur!!! GO AWAY!
  • Marcella Berardi
    Karen’s DUI
    You were spot on tonight!!
  • PWade03
    Completely misleading podcast titles
    He never actually touches on anything he claims he’s going to, total fraud!
  • Stells181716
    Can’t anymore
    It just gets worse and worse. I’ve tried to hang on, but can’t anymore. You come off as thinking you’re a celebrity…which would be fine, but “real” celebrities don’t act as pompous as you do
  • Catfcatf
    Disappointed
    David I’ve always enjoyed listening to you. I even paid for your patron. But after a while it was the same stuff. You started to have like this I don’t care if you like me or not attitude, and you were constantly telling people that. For me that’s a big turn off, because you are not better than anyone else. Then you actually believed everything that wacky people said. She’s a narcissist, with multiple personalities. Wish you luck but I’m out
  • SPH723
    Long time fan!
    I have been listening since the beginning and I love the David solo’s and David interviews, but I also love the David Sara twice-weekly co hosted eps! Seriously? These two are so great together- a modern day Regis and Kelly. Love the way they can disagree on takes and be respectful, and I also love the humor these two have without even intending to be funny. I will cackle every time Sara says with sass “Ms. Yontef…” 😂. This show is my escapism and has genuinely helped my mental health improve over the years. 💜
