Welcome to Is This Real Life, a Bravo podcast that relates our favorite shows to our own lives in the world around us.

I'm your host, Mandy Slutsker. Let's get to it.

Hi, everyone. I hope you had a great week. Thank you so much to everyone who reached out to me about my car

situation. Last week, I backed into a cement column in a parking garage and I proceeded to cry,

not just because I messed up my car, but it really reminded me of my mom, who was a terrible driver and always

hit things with her car. Usually not other cars, just like our front porch, you know, a trash can,

a tree. She was a telephone bowl. She was just awful. And it just really made me miss her.

And thanks to everyone who that resonated with, it's unusual sometimes to have situations

like that.

And your reaction is that you miss your mom.

But that was what happened.

Regardless, I got the taillight replaced and the paint scratches off of my car this week. So it looks and feels

good as new. And I also went out on a little adventure this past Thursday night. I typically

home in bed, like at, you know, 10, 1030, you know, lights out pretty shortly thereafter.

And this Thursday, I ended up going not just out, but like to a club slash lounge, which like,

I don't remember the last time I was at a club slash lounge to see Kyle and Carl from Summerhouse. They were in the D.C.

Virginia area on Thursday. I didn't want to go all the way out to Virginia. It's not that far, but I was

like, I don't really want to deal with that. This event was at least ticketed. So I was like,

okay, it may be crowded, but it can't be like as crowded as

a non-ticketed event. So me and two friends went there and we had a great time. It was a really

cool sort of rooftop lounge and at a new hotel that I didn't even know existed. So it was,

it was so fun. Ran into Samaj there.
