| 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 Slutszer. Let's get to it. |
| 0:34.6 | Hi, Real Lifers. Welcome to episode 163. I am recording this in advance because I'm going to be away for |
| 0:41.1 | the weekend at a wedding in California. So if any major Bravo news breaks, you know, sorry, |
| 0:48.7 | I won't be covering it. Although there was a lot of news that broke this past Monday, October 11th, |
| 0:58.0 | when Megan King, former Real Housewives of the O.C. star, married Cuff Owens, who is President Biden's nephew. |
| 1:09.5 | So that was exciting. |
| 1:11.5 | I hope they're super happy. |
| 1:13.4 | And I hope all wonderful things happen for Megan. |
| 1:18.3 | I feel like she's had it rough with those three little kids and that terrible public, |
| 1:23.7 | nasty divorce from that awful human being, Jim Edmonds, you know, or maybe not an awful |

| 1:50.3 | So of course, I invited Amanda Page at It's All Happening to Come On because she's the only other person I know that feels as strongly about the show as I do. |
| 2:02.7 | I mean, you all know that I named my dog Stasi for better for worse. But before we get into that, I want to share some brief |
| 2:09.2 | thoughts on the Housewives episodes this week. So on Potomac, I absolutely loved the scene of them in that van with Giselle, Karen, and |
| 2:22.7 | Ashley just laughing, talking about tea bagging, salad tossing. When Giselle and Karen are getting |
| 2:30.7 | along, there is nothing better. And it makes their sort of frenemy dynamic more |
| 2:36.8 | compelling. And I feel like that we've seen more of their hate to one another or distaste or |
| 2:43.5 | nastiness to one another. And I felt like the first few episodes of this season went a little too |
| 2:49.4 | far with the whole hotbox and Sing Sing. And I want it to be, |
| 2:54.1 | I want to remember why they were friends in the first place. And this, this reminded me. So I really |
