Roseanne's / The Conners' Michael Fishman steps Behind The Rope. Little D.J. Conner all grown up.  Michael discusses what it was like being the youngest on a set that included Roseanne, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf and Lecy Goranson. Michael recalls the best and worst times during Roseanne's original nine year run from 1988-1997. Michael talks viral moments such as when Roseanne “performed” The National Anthem, guest stars such as Leo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Sandra Bernhard, Sharon Stone, and Bruce Willis, what it was like to be on a TV show that became a worldwide global hit overnight and had stellar ratings throughout the years and the harsh realities of Hollywood after the show went off the air. Finally, Michael talks about The Conners, Roseanne's now infamous tweet heard round the world, Roseanne's termination from the very show she created and so very much more! @reelmfishman @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) MICROPERFUMES - microperfumes.com/velvet (Up To 60% Your Favorite Perfumes In Pocket Sized Vials) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is a live, energetic dispatch from Dubai Watch Week 2025, where Felix is immersed in the new, vastly expanded, and culturally electric atmosphere of the Middle East's premier horological event. Felix reports on the show's massive scale at the Burj Park location, the wave of incredible new novelties released (like the Chopard Grands Sonnerie and new Louis Vuitton Escale stone dials), and the unprecedented level of CEO cooperation. Discover why DWW is quickly becoming the most engaging watch event for the global enthusiast and what the new trends, like colored stone dials and a community-first approach mean for the future of the watch industry. 1. Dubai Watch Week: Bigger, Better, and More Open (01:00:24) Live Dispatch from Dubai: Felix is reporting live from the event (DWW), held every two years.

Jeff Lewis' new show was announced this past weekend at BravoCon but it is not all good news for Jeff. He has F'd up in a big sorta way and the BravoHolics, Andy Cohen and powers that be are not happy. Andy sits down with Karen Huger to get to the bottom of her addiction. Mary Cosby may have won BravoCon but TLC says her church is a cult and they are coming for her big time. Speaking of BravoCon, the BC audience has come for Lisa Barlow in a big kinda way but other than a few boos here and there, Bravo these days seems to be full of love, love, love. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Two pilots fell asleep in the middle of their flight over Indonesia. While the commanding pilot had permission to nap once the plane reached cruising altitude, he woke up to find that his co-pilot had also dozed off. The two were asleep for about thirty minutes with more than 150 passengers and crew on board and while at approximately 36,000 feet altitude. The plane had veered off course, but thankfully, the plane still arrived at its destination safely. Human pilots may snooze mid-flight, but we can rest assured that God never falls asleep. I find such comfort in the words of Psalm 121. In eight verses, we’re reminded that God is omniscient, or all-knowing, about our life; omnipresent, or present all throughout our day; and omnipotent, or all-powerful, and can protect us. The psalmist declares that our help comes from God (v. 2). He is our keeper and shade (v. 5), and He guards us from all evil while preserving our soul (v. 7). God never gets tired. “He will not let your foot slip; he who watches over you will not slumber” (v. 3). “The Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore” (v. 8). When we’re wondering if God has forgotten us, we can rest assured that He is at the wheel. He is always awake and watching over us.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, David, and Ripley settle in for a wonderfully chaotic ride through the watch world as they pick apart the GPHG results with the kind of disbelief usually reserved for tax bills and airport delays, wondering aloud how a collection of chronographs that no human can physically read ended up representing the best of the year. After David signs off to begin his travels, Rick and Ripley carry on with a rapid-fire tour of the latest drops, including the Dryden Heartlander Solar, which somehow outperforms the previous MoonSwatch conversation without even trying, and the Benrus Ultra Deep, which weighs in as a certified THICC-BOI. They explore the Todd Snyder and Unimatic GMT collaboration, which proves that the moment David signs off is when the fashion talk suddenly spikes. The two give us a serious analysis of who, exactly, is spending $120,000 on a Harry Potter-themed tourbillon. To close the episode, David sits down in Geneva with famed Bulgari designer Fabrizio Buonamassa for a rare and thoughtful conversation about the evolution of the Octo Finissimo, the creative process behind his iconic sketch editions, the challenges and pride of producing movements in house, the role of human craft in a rapidly changing industry, and why true artistic vision will always outlast trends and technology. If you want the full range of watch talk, from award show absurdities to high-design philosophy, this is the episode to tune into.

Now that the Giudice / Gorga reconciliation tour is in full effect, BravoCon and all, Joey Gorga has a strong message for Bravo, Andy and the fans. Speaking of BravoCon, Wendy Osefo took zero accountability for her alleged actions, seems to remain clueless about her potential future and chose her words very carefully none of which seemed to include her insistence that she is innocent. Last, but not least, Andy Cohen worked fast to dash everyone's hopes of the RHONY OG/Newbie combo but as the future of RHONY is expected to be announced any week now, let us not count the RHONY OGs out just yet.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast, Episode 728! We're joined by our good friend Mark Wheeler, writer, collector, and long-time Christopher Ward whisperer, who takes us through his recent travels... The post Scottish Watches Podcast #728 : When A Watch Enthusiast Goes To Switzerland appeared first on Scottish Watches.

How does a mechanical watch put out good vibes to the universe with every passing second? Listen in to the latest episode to find out! Our guest is the charming CEO of Sherpa Watches, Martin Klocke. I met Martin recently at Geneve Watch Days and the brand made quite an impression. Capturing authentic vintage vibes with superbly well executed dials in a true "Super-Compressor" case, the Sherpa line strikes quite a chord with a unique identity as a micro-brand out of Germany.  Listen in as we hear the full story of the inspiration behind this storied historical watch, first unveiled by Enicar in 1956 following a Swiss Expedition to Mt Everest. Enicar's SeaPearl watches proved to be incredibly reliable and suitable for extreme environments both deep underwater and as high as mankind would dare to explore, leading to the Sherpa rebranding. Martin shares with us his personal story of discovery of the famed Sherpa watches and his fascination with the 70 year old watches.  Today's faithful recreations provided many challenges to produce. It is wonderful to hear Martin talk about the production of the modern pieces and the technical brilliance of the original concept combined with further refinements. Only producing approximately 100 watches per year, today's Sherpa is a rare example of a passion project that celebrates technical brilliance, distinctive visual appeal and the rare achievement of faithfully respecting an original design with proportions that prove to be timeless. Combine all this with the world's first "Mantramatic" watch and there is far more than meets the eye with this incredibly compelling and fascinating wristwatch for the ages.  We hope that you enjoy Keeping Time podcast with host Jeremy Oster and co-host Doug Hoyt.

Watch collectors often discuss design, materials, and mechanical nuance, but the conversation frequently shifts toward something less tangible — the stories tied to these objects. Whether passed down through family, acquired during memorable moments, or simply worn through everyday life, watches tend to gather meaning in ways their manufacturers cannot always predict. On this week's episode of Fratello Talks, Nacho and RJ are joined by Fratello writer Henry, who is visiting Europe all the way from Australia. Together, they discuss how those stories form, what gives them weight, and how they influence the way enthusiasts relate to the watches in their collections.

Chris Stuckmann is out here living the dream that so many of us talking about movies on social media have, to go out and actually make something that people want to see, now as his debut film hits digital markets how did the first go round turn out? | Shelby Oaks | Mia Brennan searches for her sister Riley, a paranormal investigator who disappeared 12 years prior while filming in the abandoned town of Shelby Oaks. Mia's investigation intensifies after a mysterious man commits suicide on her doorstep, leaving behind a disturbing tape with clues about Riley's fate.

BravoCon may have come and gone but there is still oh so very much to talk about from this past weekend. Sutton is happy Garcelle is gone. Ashley Darby started a rumor about Kyle and Erika. Kathy Hilton broke down exactly what Kyle is looking for and needs in a life partner and it seems there may have been some Morgan Wade shade. Wendy refuses to accept Ashley's apology. Kyle Cooke tries to clarify the status of his marriage to Amanda. Adriana and Gizelle try to squash their beef and oh, so very much more.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

On Today's show, Three confessions that prove sometimes the hottest part is NOT touching… yet.Nicole's boyfriend cancels on the double date, so she stays anyway, sits on the couch fully dressed, and purrs the words every man dreams of: “I want to watch.” What follows is a masterclass in cuckquean restraint — licking, spanking, directing, and one very impressed audience of one.A married man grabs spray paint at the hardware store, locks eyes with a stranger over “Pineapple Yellow,” and twenty minutes later she's naked and screaming his name in the bathroom while employees bang on the door.

Today, we address the elevated risk profile resulting from a slow-moving western storm that encompasses the desert Southwest and the Southern Plains. Flood watches and warnings have been issued across parts of Arizona, southeast California, and southern Nevada as persistent rainfall continues to impact these regions. Additionally, southern Utah is experiencing mountain snow, while parts of North Texas through Oklahoma are under a marginal risk for severe storms, which may include damaging winds and hail. We also note that Hawaii's Big Island summits remain under a winter weather advisory due to anticipated wintry conditions. As we navigate these varied weather phenomena, we emphasize the importance of remaining situationally aware and prepared for potential hazards.Takeaways:* A slow-moving western storm significantly elevates the risk profile across multiple states today. * Flood watches are currently in effect across parts of Arizona, California, and Nevada due to persistent rain. * Southern Utah is under a winter weather advisory with ongoing mountain snow expected to impact travel. * Texas has activated emergency resources in anticipation of heavy rain and flooding threats over the coming days. * The Storm Prediction Center has designated a marginal risk for severe weather from North Texas to southern Missouri. * Hawaii's Big Island summits continue to face winter weather advisories due to potential snowfall and icy conditions.

Now that we are in the home stretch of the RHOC reunion, it is time to look back on the season, reflect and say, wtf. The good, the bad, the strange, we cover it all.

On this episode of Superlative, host Ariel Adams sits down with Josh Shapiro, the founder and CEO of J.N. Shapiro Watches, for a deep look into how one of the most impressive independent American watchmaking operations has taken shape in Southern California. Josh shares the evolution of his brand from a garage guilloche hobby into a fully verticalized manufacturing facility producing movements, cases, and dials with a focus on rare craft techniques and extraordinary hand finishing. He and Ariel discuss the balance between artistic authenticity and operational growth, the realities of creating American made movements, the unique personalities and skills on Josh's expanding team, and the long term vision for advanced manufacturing, education, and industry infrastructure in the United States. They also examine the impact of tariffs, supply chain shifts, retailer relationships, and the type of collector who is drawn to J.N. Shapiro's work. This conversation offers an in depth perspective on craftsmanship, business discipline, and the future of independent horology through the lens of one of America's most ambitious modern watchmakers.Keep up with Josh and J.N.

She didn't believe in ghosts—only in the way a room can bristle like a fight just happened. At a living-history park, she opened the same log house each morning and was often hit by a wave of anger, like walking into someone else's argument. She'd quietly “greet the lady of the house,” and most days the air would settle… until it didn't. From her chair with a clear view of the swollen, heavy door, she'd hear it yanked open—groaning, scraping—while it never actually moved. Children's laughter rose from the empty grass court. Men's voices murmured from the cemetery. And some afternoons, heel-to-toe footsteps climbed the stairs above her, a dress whispering across the boards, a window forcing open, a lone rocking chair creaking by the light—yet no one was there when she looked. Was it a spirit still pacing its home, or history replaying itself like an afterimage on an old screen? She isn't sure. She just knows that house had a way of answering back.  #RealGhostStory #HistoricalPark #HauntedHouse #ResidualEnergy #ParanormalActivity #Footsteps #RockingChair #LivingHistory #CreepyStories #Ghosts Love real ghost stories?

This seems like it could be one of those cases that is structured backwards, or as some English practitioners refer to the backwards case structuring - round tripping of the U.S. debt. The court closes the hearing with that parties shouldn't rely on what the court did in this case as precedent for future cases.Per Google AI:Fossil (UK) Global Services Ltd. is a UK subsidiary of the fashion accessories company Fossil Group, Inc. that has recently been involved in a debt restructuring. It is now the entity used for the UK restructuring plan which was sanctioned by the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, and also recognized by a U.S. bankruptcy court. The restructuring plan involved canceling $150 million in unsecured notes and issuing new notes to create a more durable capital structure. Purpose: The entity was created to implement a restructuring plan in the UK to deal with the company's debt.Restructuring details: The plan was a court-sanctioned restructuring of $150 million in unsecured notes, with the High Court sanctioning the plan in early November 2025.International recognition: Fossil (UK) Global Services Ltd. also sought and received recognition of its UK restructuring plan from a U.S. bankruptcy court under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. This ensures the plan is binding on U.S. creditors.Legal status: The company was registered in the UK on August 8, 2025. It is a private limited company with a registered office in Milton Keynes.Information: For investors holding the notes, an information agent is available for password-protected website access, and more information can be found on the Fossil Group's investor relations page.

When Brandi inherited her grandmother's mirror, she thought it was just an antique. She didn't know it came with company. Late at night, the reflection began to change — a faint glow, a breath in the silence, and a man's shadow that never moved… except to speak. He told stories no child should hear, whispered in the dark through glass that seemed to breathe. Years later, the mirror still moves on its own, still knocks three times, still turns itself toward her bed. Brandi has learned to live with it. To accept that some mirrors aren't meant to reflect — they're meant to remember. But when the knocking comes again, when the air turns cold and the reflection lingers a beat too long… she wonders if the man she called Jack is still waiting on the other side. Because some family heirlooms don't pass down love. They pass down ghosts. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedMirror #ParanormalActivity #RealHaunting #Supernatural #GhostStories #CreepyEncounters #HauntedObject #RealGhostStoriesOnline #MirrorGhost Love real ghost stories?

Get your 10-minute fantasy football edge: Bob Harris & Mike Dempsey break down today's NFL news + what it means for your team.  

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we chat about the legendary five-digit Rolex era and how it's probably the greatest collection of modern watches. We discuss why and mention some of our favorite models. Enjoy the show!For many of us, it seems that the five-digit Rolex period was around forever. In fact, the watches debuted in the late 1970s and stayed in production until 2012! That's a long time! Of course, there were tweaks over the 30-plus years, but the watches remain relevant today. We discuss their impact and why owning one can be an endgame move.HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off our show with a discussion about Mike's recent trip to the United States and his proximity to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Then, we move on to watches. Mike recently spent a lengthy amount of time with the new Ming 37.11 Odyssey, a diver GMT that truly struck his fancy. Yes, he has ordered one. Then, Balazs mentions the new Louis Erard 2340, an attractive take on the integrated-bracelet sports watch. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, both of us are wearing a Ming 22.01 GMT. Mike's Gilt version is on the titanium Ming Universal Bracelet. However, Balazs scores the win with his Kyoto variant on the new titanium Ming Polymesh. It's fabulous!Five-digit RolexFor our main topic, we move on to five-digit Rolex and why it still reigns supreme as the greatest modern collection of watches. These pieces all had one foot in the modern era and one in the vintage period. Slim cases, stamped clasps, and mostly stamped end links are just some of the lovely old-world characteristics. Modern movements finally brought a quick-setting date function and modern frequencies. For those who enjoy aging, aluminum bezels, and the chance to find tritium, these watches tick a lot of boxes. Most importantly, though, these pieces can all be worn daily and should remain usable for decades to come. We also discuss how values are rising again after a post-pandemic drop.It's hard to go wrong with any five-digit Rolex, but each of us shares our favorite three models. Balazs enjoys the Submariner 14060 with tritium markers, an Explorer II 16570 with a polar-white dial, and the watch that brought Rolex into the mainstream, the Submariner Date 16610. As for Mike, he's in love with the flashy Submariner 16618 with blue dial, the ultimate classic Explorer 14270, and the under-the-radar Datejust 16200 or Turn-O-Graph 16264. Really, there's no wrong choice within the entire catalog, but we'd love to hear yours!We hope you enjoy today's episode. As always, thanks for listening, and feel free to share any topics that you'd like us to cover in the future.

Pour cet troisième opus des Sessions Vintage, Anthony et moi-même avons souhaité nous livrer un à jeu très amusant et pourtant jamais fait auparavant. Nous avons défini 4 catégories de montres : Sportives, GMT, Chronographes et habillées auquel chacun devait proposer une montre. Mais pour corser le tout, la règle interdisait de citer des refs connues...il fallait que cela sorte des sentiers battus. Nous avons donc le plaisir de vous proposer un épisode au cours duquel chacun livre ses refs préférées, espérant gagner chaque manche ! Et c'est d'ailleurs là que vous intervenez, en commentant sous cette vidéo la ou les montres que vous avez préféré et pour qui vous auriez vôté ! Bref, un petit jeu auquel nous nous sommes beaucoup amusés et qui devrait, non seulement vous ravir, mais également apporter encore plus d'eau au moulin de votre passion. Bonne écoute ! Sachez tout d'abord que cet épisode est, comme d'habitude, disponible en version audio sur toutes les plateformes de podcast mais également en vidéo sur ma chaine Youtube Des Montres & Vous.

Thinking about buying your first real watch? Here's what the dealers won't tell you about ghost listings, fake prices, and why that "deal" you found online doesn't actually exist. Part II of Andy's conversation with Christian Bruhn from The Art of Time dives into the messy reality of buying luxury watches in 2025 — where online listings lie, auction prices mislead, and first-time buyers get burned by doing their own "research."   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Ghost listings exposed: Why that Rolex Daytona you found online for $8K cheaper probably doesn't exist (and what luxury drop-shipping really means) The trust problem: How to find an honest watch dealer when everyone online claims to be an expert Watches as art, not commodities: Why buying for resale value is the wrong approach for your first luxury timepiece The secondary market advantage: How to get a better watch for 25-40% less than authorized dealer pricing (with full warranty transfer) First-time buyer mistakes: What guys get wrong when shopping for Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and other high-end watches Where to actually start: The 3 questions you need to answer before you spend $5K-$50K on a watch Key Quotes from Christian Bruhn: "You'll have individuals interested in a watch doing their own research, and their research leads them to ghost listings that aren't in stock and bottom auction pricing that isn't realistic. Then they come to me saying they want it for X, Y, and Z." "For first-time buyers, I would say trust the dealer. Trust the person doing this every day, because it's getting harder and harder to tell what's real online." "When you go into a boutique and walk outside, that watch settles into the secondary market and is now competing against every single boutique in the mall versus just the one you walked in." Why This Matters for First-Time Watch Buyers: If you're the guy who's always said "someday I'm gonna get a nice watch," this episode will save you thousands of dollars and massive headaches. Christian breaks down: How online watch pricing is flooded with fake listings for SEO purposes Why authorized dealer pricing doesn't reflect real market value The smart way to buy gold watches as an investment (hint: melt value matters) How to avoid the hype and buy what actually fits your style and lifestyle Christian Bruhn is a former 75th Ranger Regiment member who founded The Art of Time, a luxury watch dealership focused on authenticity, education, and helping collectors buy smart. He sources rare timepieces, navigates the secondary market daily, and calls out the BS that confuses first-time buyers.

The primary focus of today's discourse pertains to the impending atmospheric conditions that are anticipated to impact various regions across the western United States, particularly California. A rapidly advancing atmospheric river is expected to instigate flood watch conditions spanning from the Yosemite Valley and Sierra foothills into the Southern Cascades, while a robust onshore flow will generate wind advisories within the Sacramento Valley and inclement winter weather in the High Sierra. Furthermore, the Weather Prediction Center has indicated a significant likelihood of flash flooding across central Northern California, particularly in urban areas. In addition, the episode delineates the potential hazards of rock falls and debris flows in proximity to recently burned areas, emphasizing the manifold risks associated with these weather patterns. As we navigate through these forecasts, we remain committed to providing timely and pertinent information to ensure the safety and preparedness of our listeners.Takeaways:* The atmospheric river is bringing significant flood watch conditions across various regions in California. * Flash flooding is highly probable in central Northern California, particularly in urban areas today. * Winter storm warnings are in effect for Mono County, predicting hazardous travel conditions. * High surf advisories are in place for Hawaii's east-facing shores, with surf reaching heights of 14 feet. * Nevada is experiencing expanded winter headlines, indicating severe weather near the Sierra front. * Coastal regions of Oregon and Washington are under small craft advisories due to rough sea conditions.

This one is for the Lange fans. Saying Anthony de Haas is an incredibly important part of my personal watch journey would most definitely be an understatement. As the Director of Product Development for A. Lange & Söhne, he has had his hands in creating what happen to be some of my favorite watches ever produced. We kick off the conversation talking about his hobby playing drums, the equipment he prefers, which leads us into the watch talk. A standout aspect of this conversation is his humility and clear appreciation for his team. We really get a peek behind the curtain on what the development of these watches is like - it almost feels like an audible tour of the factory in a sense, which I thoroughly appreciate, and I hope you do, too. We talk about the inspirations behind the Zeitwerk, the various tactile experiences with watch functions, we geek out on fonts, and why he considered the Odysseus to be their hardest project. Please enjoy my conversation with Tony.Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_A.

Andy Cohen seems to have a lot to say about Wendy Osefo as of late, but as this season of RHOP chugs along, one thing has become very clear, Wendy Osefo's RHOP exit is expected in 3,2,1… Lisa Barlow is accused of ruining RHOSLC, keeping all her private biz to herself, not sharing anything with the group and oh so much more in what is clearly a hard season of Miss Vida Tequila. The idea of Jen Shah returning resurfaces again now that she has less than a year til she is out of the slammer. Vicki Gunvalson remains out of touch, Lala refuses to talk about Scheana and Vanderpump 2.0 prepares to premiere at BravoCon but all is not as it seems. Patrik and Pol stop by to help us break it all down. @polatteu @patriksimpson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

There have been so many rumors, and nastiness, about whether RHONJ's future will be announced in five short days when BravoCon 2025 begins, but today we expose the real reasons this once top rated show is still on pause and the likelihood that it will come off pause any time in the future. Speaking of BravoCon, for those going, we break down how to navigate this large convention which can feel overwhelming to many, how to get the most bang for your buck and, most importantly, how to get maximum tea and meet as many Bravolebrities as possible. Finally, with two parts of the reunion to go, we discuss the likelihood that RHOC will go on pause now that it has become as toxic as RHONJ with bloggers, leaked stories, private investigators and oh, so very much more that we have not even begun to scratch the surface! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Teresa may be the first guest on Jennifer Aydin's new podcast but all is not as it seems. Who is using who, who is really mad at who, what role did BravoCon play in all of this and why RHIONJ will not be back to filming anytime even remotely soon.  Aaron Phypers may be playing it real cool with a huge smile on his face but the future does not look so bright so he can keep his shades at home. A new well known actress' name is being tossed around to throw into the RHOBH mix and we are so very much here for it. Tia and Angel make their mark and let their voices be heard again the OG's on RHOP. Selling Sunset's new season drama is in full effect both on and off the show. Last, but not least, Bethenny Frankel takes a break from TikTok and saving the world to let us know she is gonna help us all find love and other stuff.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com Learn more about your ad choices.

He$$ hath frozen over. It is official. Teresa, Louie, Joe and Melissa Gorga have all met for dinner. Who, what, when, where and let's be honest, despite what Teresa claims, we all know the why. Dolores tries to enter the reconciliation convo but Gia Junior G shuts that shi$ down as fast as you can flip a table. The rumors grow stronger that the RHONY OG's are making a return to Bravo sooner than later. Finally, it seems Tamra Judge and Lisa Barlow have a lot more in common than meets the eye. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
