Sam Champion and Husband Rubem Robierb step Behind The Rope. We dive deep into the careers of one of the most famous weathermen of all time and one of the most prolific artists of our time. Sam and Rubem chat meeting, getting married in New York City before gay marriage was legalized in their other home state, Florida, coming out in the public eye, their commitment to the LGBTQ+ Community and other world issues and just how far / not far we “have come”. Of course, we also talk Sam and Rubem’s guilty pleasures, Reality TV, Bravo and Real Housewives! @samchampion @rubemrobierbart @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ATHLETIC GREENS - www.athleticgreens.com/VELVET (Free 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D and Five Free Travel Packs With Your First Purchase) BOMBAS - www.bombas.com/VELVET (Get 20% Off Any Purchase) INDEED - www.indeed.com/VELVET ($75 Job Credit to Upgrade Your Job Post.
