| 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. |
| 0:32.8 | Hi, everyone. I hope you're doing well. It's been a little bit of a hectic week in my household in that I was |
| 0:40.0 | still struggling with COVID and then my dog Stasi's been getting sick and it turns out that |
| 0:47.4 | she had Chiardia, which triggered her inflammatory bowel disease. But like my dad says, how else would we know she was Jewish? |
| 0:57.4 | So, yeah, it's been a lot of sickness in the households, |
| 1:00.9 | but we are both getting to be on the mend. |
| 1:06.3 | There's so much that went on this week in Bravo, |

| 1:46.3 | I feel like it's really lost the element of charm and that very few people on the cast have any charm whatsoever. |
| 1:55.9 | And it's especially jarring to watch Shep and Whitney, who are in their 40s and 50s, |
| 2:03.9 | behave as if there are these, like, guys who are 22, and we're supposed to think it's cute. |
| 2:11.9 | And it's, it's not cute. |
| 2:13.5 | It's pretty concerning. |
| 2:16.0 | And I know, like, Shep has been known to be a bit of a jerk. |
| 2:21.6 | And we saw the video that he released himself of him just berating this homeless man |
| 2:28.9 | who had a bunch of cans. |
| 2:30.5 | I don't know if you guys remember that. |
