| 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. |
| 0:35.0 | Hi, everyone. Hope you had a great week. Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes. |
| 0:39.2 | Unfortunately, I got pretty sick last weekend, but I am doing so much better thanks to antibiotics |
| 0:44.8 | and some prednisone. So we are back at it. Oh my goodness. So much went on this week. |
| 0:53.6 | There were so many trailers that were released. A number of divorces announced. Oh, my gosh. I, guys, I think I'm really, really naive when it comes to Bravo divorces. I did not want to believe that Tom and Katie Schwartz stuff until it like was very obvious when I was |
| 1:13.9 | in L.A. that it was happening. And I really didn't want to believe the stuff between Kenny and |
| 1:19.2 | Lisa Hawstein, but, ooh, it looks bad. I can't believe that she went with Larsa to confront him and his new girlfriend out at |
| 1:31.3 | some club and threw a drink and that cameras weren't there. We need cameras for that exact moment. |
| 1:39.5 | I hope somebody has video footage and it ends up in the show. And obviously, I'm entirely team Lisa on this. |
| 1:47.0 | I really, really wanted to like Lenny because he was a Russian Jewish refugee that left the Soviet |
| 1:56.8 | Union around the same time as my dad. And I've always wanted to have him on my podcast just to hear his |
| 2:03.0 | immigrant and refugee story. But yeah, I don't know. He's kind of dead to me now. And then, of course, |
| 2:12.5 | Dr. Jen has filed for legal separation from Rhine. And I think most of us saw that coming. They were just |
| 2:23.6 | such an odd pair that looked like they had no like communication skills. It's so painful to |
| 2:31.9 | watch these couples on TV that truly can't communicate with one another. |
| 2:37.9 | And part of me is like trying to be empathetic. Maybe it's because cameras are there and |
| 2:43.2 | they're not saying exactly what they would normally say if the cameras weren't around. |
| 2:48.3 | But I don't know. The cameras don't lie. And most of you have noticed that both |
| 2:54.1 | Lisa and Kenny didn't seem to be very happy and Dr. Jen and her husband didn't seem to be very |
| 2:59.5 | happy and look at where we are. Well, one of the big stories that has been playing out this week, both on the Real Housewives |
| 3:09.9 | of Beverly Hills, but also out on social media in real time, is Tablegate, which my guest |
