    Introducing You Can't Read This Book (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE) from MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories. Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories This is a special bonus episode of "You Can't" One night in 2020, a woman named Beth Van Oss paced back and forth in a small room in the house she shared with her boyfriend, Mike, in rural Colorado. She dialed Mike’s phone number again, and put her phone to her ear. But just like the last time she’d called – he didn’t answer. Now, Beth was afraid. He had left that morning, headed for the woods, promising her that when he came back – they would finally have everything they had ever dreamed of. And he had taken something with him. Something that he had become obsessed with. Something that Beth had begged him to forget about, and throw away. But he had refused. And now, he was gone. Beth dialed the phone again, but this time, she called the police.  For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballen See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Andy Doubles Down On RHONJ Cancelation, Sonja Morgan Dines & Dashes and Teresa's 5 Stages of Grief Post RHONJ

    A hysterical Sonja Morgan is blacklisted from a NYC hotspot after refusing to pay a $1,000 bill she thought was comped. The more things change, the more they stay the same with certain housewives who are broke, entitled and, for lack of a better word, arrogant. Thinking one is a celebrity when they are not… In other news, Andy Cohen doubles down on how The Real Housewives of Rhode Island - RHORI - is a group of tight knit Italian American women in a coastal town who live a certain lifestyle. In other words, a replacement for the once wildly popular RHONJ. Finally, RHONJ casting notices surface but all is not as it seems. Teresa makes changes in her “inner circle” and “organization” and remains, for many reasons, in denial about her TV future.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

    Dorit & PK's Latest Setback, RHOC Cast Trip Scandal & Meredith Mark's Suspension / RHOSLC Filming Leaks

    With Dorit having now formally filed for divorce from her husband of over ten years, PK, we cannot help but wonder, what next? Today we get answers to the many questions we have surrounding PK and Dorit’s divorce. How does Dorit really feel about PK’s very public kiss? What is going to happen to Dorit’s motion for sole custody of the kids and what motivated that request? Meanwhile, heading south, Katie Ginella skipped the RHOC cast trip due to an epic rumored feud with Emily Simpson. We discuss what we know about this feud, the real reasons why she was absent from the trip and how this will affect her and Emily’s RHOC future. Finally, Meredith Marks speaks out on her suspension but, based on her own words that she used, did she just “out herself” to what really happened and went down. Shocking details arise regarding Ms. Mark’s suspension as this currently filming season of RHOSLC prepares to finish with a bang. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SPOT & TANGO - ⁠⁠⁠spotandtango.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) THRIVE MARKET - ⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) PIQUE LIFE - ⁠⁠piquelife.com/velvet⁠⁠ (20% Off Plus a Free Rechargeable Frother & Glass Beaker If You’re Tired of Feeling Depleted & Want to Finally Nourish Your Body the Right Way) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CORNBREAD - ⁠⁠⁠cornbreadhemp.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠ (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠Redrazz.org⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) STRAWBERRY - ⁠⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠⁠⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) SELFUP - ⁠selfup.com⁠ (Use Code VELVET20 For 20% Off For a Fun Night Out of Cooking Classes) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Coming To Hulu May 15th) 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.

    RHONJ & RHONY Cancelled, Why Housewives of Rhode Island Is The New RHONJ & Another New Gorga Show Coming

    Bravo announced four new shows which are being added to its line up. Glaringly absent from the full list of their returning shows, in addition to these new shows, was RHONY and RHONJ. Despite all the fake news, tabloid fodder, network chatter, blogger speculation and cast statements, we break down exactly what is going on with RHONY and RHONJ, the likelihood either will be back ever and which cast members will be most affected by this. Next, we discuss the new cast for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, why this franchise will effectively replace RHONJ and when we can expect this new franchise to actually appear on our Bravo screens. Finally, we discuss the remaining new shows - Shahs Valley Style, Ladies of London and Wife Swap and explain what these shows mean for Teresa Giudice’s future on Bravo and why things are looking very good for Melissa and Joe Gorga and their new upcoming Bravo show. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CARAWAY HOME - ⁠Carawayhome.com/VELVET⁠ (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) STRAWBERRY - ⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo Gift Set For Free) RO - ⁠ro.co/velvet⁠ (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - ⁠rakuten.com⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

    With many of the current Real Housewives franchises past their prime, it is uncertain if more franchises are actually needed.

Morgan and Kyle make moves to “come out” despite the possible longevity of this relationship as Kyle’s role in Garcelle’s exit is exposed. Jax Taylor is in trouble as he loses real world business due to his behavior on The Valley. Also, Morgan may not be as innocent as people originally thought. Finally, we break down our worst Housewife interviews of all time as well as current and past feuds with other Podcasts, Housewives and Ex-Housewives.
