| 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 Slutsker. Let's get to it. |
| 0:41.7 | Hi, everyone. Well, it has been a very eventful and emotional week. I'm just trying to process everything. |
| 0:49.4 | So I think part of me is processing by talking on this podcast. So bear with me while I collect my thoughts on this week and then give you some of my thoughts on Miami and Summerhouse before going into |
| 0:55.9 | my interview with Aaron Martin. But my week began finding out about the death of Dr. Paul Farmer, |

| 2:17.1 | in a documentary called Bending the Arc, which I |
| 2:21.4 | also recommend if you're looking for a documentary to watch. I know a number of people in the |
| 2:27.3 | documentary, including a man named Machiaires, who is from Peru and was saved. He had multi-drug resistant TB, and he was treated by partners |
| 2:38.8 | in health. And you see his journey. And I actually was able to bring Machiazz to the United Nations |
