ARDEN MYRIN: What's up Spaces?
It's Arden Myrin, actress, comedian, and nosy interior
design fanatic.
If you are anything like me, when I look at people I
wonder, what do their apartments look like?
I want to see their homes.
So today, I'm going to find out if the curtains match the
drapes, so to speak, and I'm going to see if one of these
people on the Upper West Side of Manhattan
will take me home.
Check it out.
Would you like to take me home?
No?
No?
Would you like to take me home?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Sure.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh thank you!
You would like to take me home!
Hi!
JODIE: Hi, just going into work, so good to see you!
ARDEN MYRIN: You look beautiful!
I'm doing a little design show.
I'm very popular on the Upper West Side.
You sir--
MALE SPEAKER: Don't talk to me.
ARDEN MYRIN: Hello.
People are busy, and going to work, we need to find some
people who are going to take me home, let's do it.
Hello sir, may I talk to you for a second?
JEFF: Sure.
ARDEN MYRIN: What's your name?
JEFF: Jeff.
ARDEN MYRIN: Hi Jeff, I'm Arden.
Do you live near here?
JEFF: I do Arden, how are you doing?
ARDEN MYRIN: I'm good, what are you doing today?
JEFF: Just out, taking a stroll, getting
something to eat.
ARDEN MYRIN: Would you like to take me home?
JEFF: Sure, I'll take you home.
[LAUGHTER]
ARDEN MYRIN: All right.
I'm guessing, look at you, you look very physically fit.
JEFF: OK.
ARDEN MYRIN: I'm going to guess that you work in
banking, but that you think about being a trainer.
JEFF: No, I'm a bricklayer.
ARDEN MYRIN: Are you?
JEFF: I'm a mason.
ARDEN MYRIN: You're a mason.
And, I'm going to guess your apartment; is your apartment
gorgeous because you can do handiwork?
JEFF: I didn't do any of the work on it, just, you know,
supervised.
ARDEN MYRIN: All right.
JEFF: No, I'm not a mason, I'm kidding, you were closer with
the first guess.
ARDEN MYRIN: Banker.
JEFF: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: We're doing an interior design show, would
you be willing to give me a tour of your apartment?
JEFF: Sure, absolutely.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god, I love the Upper West Side.
Tell me about the Upper West Side.
I mean, if you'd never been here before, what's your
favorite part about it?
JEFF: Oh, wow, the Upper West Side, that's a big question.
I mean you have everything from, of course, Central Park,
which is incredible.
ARDEN MYRIN: Gorgeous.
JEFF: You have the arts and the entertainment, you have
Lincoln Center.
ARDEN MYRIN: Yeah, you're really
close to Lincoln Center.
JEFF: Of course you've got great shopping, great
restaurants, all the attributes of what's great
about New York.
ARDEN MYRIN: OK.
I'm just saying, this is definitely high roller.
This is kind of better than what I thought.
JEFF: OK.
ARDEN MYRIN: I'm not going to look.
JEFF: Here we go.
ARDEN MYRIN: Here we go.
JEFF: I didn't clean anything.
ARDEN MYRIN: OK, good!
JEFF: God knows what my son left its condition in.
ARDEN MYRIN: I hope it's crazy.
JEFF: All right, you ready?
Come on in.
ARDEN MYRIN: OK, here we go.
[GASP]
Whoa, the mother lode!
You must lay really good bricks!
Holy--
what?
JEFF: I was kidding about the brick thing.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god--
JEFF: I don't know the first thing about how to do it.
ARDEN MYRIN: What is this?
JEFF: OK, so this is a Crestron control system, so--
ARDEN MYRIN: I've never even heard that word.
JEFF: --you know, basically, you can just come in if you
want, I mean, I'll show you one thing at a time, but--
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god.
JEFF: --you know, it controls everything.
From the shades--
ARDEN MYRIN: This is like Jetsons!
JEFF: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: This is like glam Jetsons.
JEFF: You can do lights, you can do, whole scenes.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god, and this is a
double sided fireplace.
JEFF: Yeah, well, three sides.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god.
This is something that I thought was like a mythical
creature, like a centaur.
Like that this didn't actually exist, it just only existed on
HGTV shows.
I could actually fit in there.
That could be my studio apartment.
My in-laws annex.
What are these counter tops?
JEFF: These counter tops, believe it or
not, are called agate.
And what they do is they take rare gemstones,
they put them together--
they come from overseas, these came from Israel-- but they
put them together with like an epoxy.
They're also translucent, so--
ARDEN MYRIN: What, what, what--
JEFF: --if you, sorry guys.
ARDEN MYRIN: What!
Oh my god!
Oh my god, do you think your son would marry me?
This is spectacular.
How do I get in line for this?
This is unreal!
JEFF: So, this is the dining room.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god.
JEFF: Pretty self apparent.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god.
JEFF: The wine refrigerator.
ARDEN MYRIN: This is spectacular.
First of all, you can see the river.
Look at that, you've got water views.
JEFF: Water view, yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: Wow.
JEFF: Look up at the Hearst Tower, and Lincoln Center, and
Julliard, and AOL Tower.
ARDEN MYRIN: And, at night, this just must be like you're
in an alley of stars and magic.
JEFF: It's beautiful.
OK, so, there's coat closets, and then this leads you into
the bedroom area.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh, I love wings, I love wings.
Let's go to the other wing.
Guest bathroom.
Guest bathroom, with marble tile and a rain shower.
And I love all the molding, I love the inset, gorgeous.
JEFF: Thank you.
Laundry room.
ARDEN MYRIN: Lundry room, laundry room!
JEFF: And my yet to have a bed again.
The mattress is sitting on the floor.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god, I love your light fixture.
I love the ceiling.
It's not your typical tin ceiling, it's gorgeous!
JEFF: A Little bit more contemporary, yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my God, walk in closet in New York City!
I feel like Carrie Bradshaw.
This is the greatest moment of my life.
This is the holy grail.
I spoke too soon, this is the mother lode.
And you've got a TV in the bathroom.
JEFF: Yes, so this is the master bathroom.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god, gorgeous tub.
I love the shape of the tub.
JEFF: Speakers are off, but you could sit
here and watch a movie.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god.
I love the tile.
JEFF: Let me show you, what's one of the neat features of
this bathroom is that it fills up from the ceiling.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god.
Wow!
That's incredible!
That's where the faucet is.
JEFF: That's the tub filler, yes.
ARDEN MYRIN: That is incredible.
JEFF: My favorite part is the master shower.
[MUSIC - "HALLELUJAH"]
JEFF: It has heat on in here and then--
ARDEN MYRIN: What?
JEFF: --you have jets coming from the other side, and all
that stuff.
ARDEN MYRIN: Wait a minute.
JEFF: I actually wind up drowning myself.
ARDEN MYRIN: Wait a minute.
JEFF: I didn't turn these on though.
ARDEN MYRIN: There's five shower heads.
JEFF: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: And the world's largest shower head on top.
JEFF: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: It's like the size of a pizza.
JEFF: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: OK.
Jeff, thank you so much for taking me home.
This is a magical palace that you live in.
JEFF: Thank you, yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: You know, I wouldn't be a very good house
guest if I didn't come bearing a house warming gift.
And I notice that your wine rack is empty, and I wanted to
bring you a bottle of my very fancy vintage wine.
I've been brewing this for you.
This is for you.
JEFF: Thank you, that's very cool.
ARDEN MYRIN: You're welcome.
I'm actually feeling kind of dirty and sticky, would it be
OK if I went into Niagara Falls for like, 20 seconds?
Because, you know the viewers at home are kind of
grossed out by me.
JEFF: Yeah, I'll have to obviously excuse myself.
ARDEN MYRIN: You're a gentleman, of course.
JEFF: I'll go to the other end of the apartment.
ARDEN MYRIN: All right, I'll see you guys later, and can I
use this towel, is that all right?
JEFF: Sure, absolutely.
ARDEN MYRIN: All right.
JEFF: All clean.
ARDEN MYRIN: Bye!
JEFF: Bye now.
ARDEN MYRIN: Jeff was brave enough to take me how.
Who am I going to find next?
