0:00.0	Welcome to Is This Real Life, a Bravo podcast that relates our favorite shows to our own lives in the world around us.
0:18.5	I'm your host, Mandy Sleutzer. Let's get to it.
0:32.7	Hi, everyone. Thanks so much for tuning in. This episode is so fantastic. I think you are all going to love it. I have Jeff Epstein on the podcast. I find him absolutely hilarious. And we have a really interesting conversation, a lot about housewives nostalgia, because he's not really watching a lot of the current real housewives,
0:55.2	but we talk also about Stan culture and the housewives and really wanting to make
1:01.2	watching the housewives more fun again. So I think you guys are really going to enjoy the conversation
1:07.1	because we didn't get into a lot of what goes on this week in Bravo. I'm just going to give
1:12.5	you guys a little bit of a breakdown, but I've got Jeff in the show notes. So if you want to just
1:18.4	skip to him, then go right ahead. So this week in Bravo, we had a couple crazy stories breaking.

1:37.9	sitting next to Brandy Redmond on the flight up to New York, both her and Brandy had to quarantine. And so they were zooming
1:46.6	into the reunion while the other housewives were physically present at the reunion. I'm very
1:52.3	curious to see how it all goes. It also looked like the other Carrie Duber was there, but I'm
1:59.2	told it was due to some other event. But I would
2:02.4	absolutely love if they were announcing that Carrie Duber was back on the show or that they
2:07.5	were doing a married to medicine spinoff with Tiffany Moon and Carrie Duber, because I would be all
2:13.4	about that. Also, Andy shared that there's going to be a special Watch What Happens Live
2:19.0	episode with a lot of the children that were featured on the Real Housewives and that two of
2:25.5	the housewives called him to complain that their children were not invited. We don't know who,
2:31.0	but I would really be interested in hearing your guesses.
2:34.9	And then with Jen Shaw, it appears she has not gotten the $250,000 to the Southern District
2:42.7	of New York, like she said she would.
