ARDEN MYRIN: Hi, I'm Arden Myrin, actress, comedian and
host of Spaces TV.
I don't know if you're like me, but when I see people on
the street, I'm like, I want to know what that person's
apartment or house is like.
And I think today we're gonna find out.
I'm going to ambush some people on the street and see
if I can get them to take me home.
Come on!
Hi!
Will you guys take me home?
They laughed in my face.
They laughed in my face!
Laughed in my face.
Hi, what's your name?
PATRICK: I'm Patrick.
ARDEN MYRIN: Hi Patrick.
I'm Arden.
PATRICK: Nice to meet you.
ARDEN MYRIN: Nice to meet you.
What do you do for a living, Patrick?
PATRICK: I'm a musician.
ARDEN MYRIN: And how long have you lived in your apartment?
PATRICK: Just moved in a couple months ago.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh, he just looked at my ***!
Let's go check out Patrick's space!
OK, so you were eight years old when you
first came to New York.
PATRICK: Something like that, yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: And was your mind just blown?
PATRICK: Yeah, I just knew I wanted to be here, you know?
ARDEN MYRIN: And has it lived up to that?
PATRICK: Oh yeah.
I love it.
Just the freedom, you know?
ARDEN MYRIN: This is your castle!
PATRICK: This is me.
ARDEN MYRIN: Mm hmm, where's your doorman?
PATRICK: He's not working today.
ARDEN MYRIN: [LAUGHING]
All right.
Cool, I like it.
Hummina, hummina, hummina, hummina.
PATRICK: Here we are.
ARDEN MYRIN: OK, you didn't tell me this
was the fourth floor.
I should have asked.
PATRICK: That's false advertising.
ARDEN MYRIN: I'll say.
I'm all about false advertising.
Wah wah wah.
They're mine, they're mine, they're mine!
Hi!
PATRICK: My beautiful roommate Rod.
ARDEN MYRIN: Rod, hi!
How are you?
I'm Arden Myrin.
It's so nice to meet you.
Do you want to put a shirt on, or are you all right?
You look good.
PATRICK: Great.
ROD: Yeah, I'll put a shirt on.
ARDEN MYRIN: You don't need to.
It's just for your own sake.
I prefer you like this.
Are these swim trunks?
What's happening here?
ROD: Yeah.
You know, they're stretchy.
ARDEN MYRIN: Yeah, they are we.
What do you do?
Are you a musician too?
ROD: No, I'm a student.
I was actually about to continue with my homework
until you guys interrupted me.
ARDEN MYRIN: All right, we let Rod get his shirt on, and now
I'm gonna get the grand tour.
PATRICK: You are.
ARDEN MYRIN: This is such a guys' apartment.
No art on the wall.
What is this?
PATRICK: We got some Nintendo 64 classic.
ARDEN MYRIN: Some Nintendo 64?
PATRICK: And some-- what is that?
ROD: This is a Xbox.
PATRICK: Xbox 360.
ARDEN MYRIN: Xbox.
PATRICK: We prefer the floor for, you know.
ARDEN MYRIN: Right.
Who needs a table?
And that's where your flat screen TV is balanced against
the radiator.
ROD: We actually have a wall mount that we're getting
installed on Saturday morning.
ARDEN MYRIN: Do you guys bring girls back here?
ROD: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: And they don't care.
They really don't care.
ROD: No, I think they're impressed with
how clean it is usually.
PATRICK: It's usually cleaner than this.
ARDEN MYRIN: I have to say it is tidy.
There's a bit of a serial killer vibe in certain areas.
There's no personal effects.
PATRICK: [INAUDIBLE] everywhere.
ARDEN MYRIN: No personal effects.
It's like you could just grab your bag and be gone and just
never be gone.
ROD: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: OK, let's see the rooms!
Whose rooms are this?
ROD: OK, this is my room.
ARDEN MYRIN: This is yours?
This is Rod's lair.
I love what you've done with the place.
ROD: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: First of all, no art on the walls.
No art in the apartment.
Not even a picture of--
ROD: There's actually this fountain over here.
ARDEN MYRIN: What?
Wait a minute!
That's a fountain?
PATRICK: It runs.
ROD: It is a fountain when I turn it on.
ARDEN MYRIN: Can I be gross?
It looks like lady bits?
ROD: You know Georgia O'Keefe?
ARDEN MYRIN: Yes.
ROD: It kind of looks like one of her works.
ARDEN MYRIN: That is amazing.
So there is only one that is total serial killer.
No art, but some weird creepy Georgia O'Keefe lady bit
[INAUDIBLE].
ROD: And it leaks.
There's some like--
ARDEN MYRIN: There's six leaky lady bits!
Also though, your wine cellar.
There's--
ROD: Actually, I went to Astor Wines today.
ARDEN MYRIN: Shut up!
OK, I'm sorry.
There's nothing in the apartment but *** rubber
gloves, a *** fountain, and bottles of
wine, and 17 old school--
This guy [LAUGHING].
We have found American Psycho without the stainless steel
and chrome.
ROD: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: This is like Christian Bale's starter
apartment for his character.
ROD: I actually have one of those ice masks.
When I'm doing my crunches in the morning, if my face is a
little puffy, I put that on.
ARDEN MYRIN: All right, here we go into my gentleman
caller's room.
Patrick, I'll let you lead the way.
PATRICK: Thank you, thank you.
This is it.
You can't open the door too far.
ARDEN MYRIN: OK.
That's OK.
I have that as well.
PATRICK: I like my drawers.
ARDEN MYRIN: I love it.
You keep it organized.
PATRICK: I try to.
ARDEN MYRIN: All right.
You know what?
I like the old school record player.
PATRICK: The record player, yep.
ARDEN MYRIN: I like the table.
PATRICK: Table.
ARDEN MYRIN: And the lamp.
Where'd you get the table?
PATRICK: My mom.
But it's still manly, you know.
ARDEN MYRIN: It's really good.
It is, it's still manly.
PATRICK: Completes the room.
ARDEN MYRIN: No, no.
It's really good.
PATRICK: I have my manly stuff on it.
My cologne, my scents.
ARDEN MYRIN: Yeah.
Oh my god!
You have a lot of cologne!
You did smell good.
I noticed that on the street.
PATRICK: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: Who is EC?
PATRICK: Eric Clapton.
I love Eric Clapton.
ARDEN MYRIN: Come on!
PATRICK: Joni Mitchell.
[INAUDIBLE].
ARDEN MYRIN: Come on, this is great.
And then do you record music in here?
PATRICK: Yeah, I do a lot of writing in here.
The exposed brick really inspires me.
ARDEN MYRIN: All right.
PATRICK: All right.
ARDEN MYRIN: Patrick's gonna sing us a song.
PATRICK: All right, I'll make it sweet for you.
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh god, this is the greatest part of my day!
PATRICK: A real ballad.
ARDEN MYRIN: Play it.
This is the best.
ROD: He's taking some time to [INAUDIBLE].
ARDEN MYRIN: [LAUGHING]
[INAUDIBLE].
ROD: [INAUDIBLE].
[MUSIC PLAYING--PATRICK DRONEY, "STILL WE GO"]
ARDEN MYRIN: Don't fight this!
Don't fight this, Patrick!
PATRICK: I'm not fighting it.
ARDEN MYRIN: We're good together, right?
Patrick and I are gonna go to his apartment.
PATRICK: It's a good height ratio.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ARDEN MYRIN: Yay!
[APPLAUSE]
ARDEN MYRIN: Oh my god!
That's the thing about New York.
I'm sorry, at the end of the day, you
don't need a huge place.
ROD: Yeah.
ARDEN MYRIN: Magic happens in small spaces.
OK, I wouldn't be very good house guest if I didn't bring
a housewarming gift.
ROD: This is true.
ARDEN MYRIN: I brought you a very expensive bottle of wine.
PATRICK: Oh, you really are overboard.
ARDEN MYRIN: Really.
Yes.
With my photo on it.
It's my vineyards.
Arden Myrin vineyards.
ROD: Oh yeah?
PATRICK: Yeah, look at that!
ARDEN MYRIN: That's how you do it.
That's how you do it.
So that's it.
Thank you, guys.
PATRICK: Thanks for having us.
ARDEN MYRIN: Patrick.
Thanks Rod for taking me home!
ROD: You're welcome.
ARDEN MYRIN: Bye!
OK, I am sitting here with two hunky gentlemen, Patrick and
Rod, who were brave enough to just take me home.
