| 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. Hope you had a good week. I actually had one of my most favorite Thanksgiving's in recent |
| 0:41.3 | memory. And most of it probably had to do with the fact that my niece turned one and she is so funny. |
| 0:49.4 | Like she has a sense of humor, even though she can't talk yet and she can't walk yet. I don't know, |
| 0:55.0 | she just does the most hilarious stuff and then she laughs at herself. So we definitely know |
| 1:00.5 | she's a sleutskir. Also, on the flight to Minneapolis, I had a fantastic flight attendant. |
| 1:08.9 | I believe his name was Derek and I fly fly with Stasi. And he's like, |
| 1:13.6 | oh my gosh, what's your dog's name? She's so cute. And I said, Stasi. And he looks at me. |

| 2:04.8 | you should have come to the view. So we went to the view and Chris actually doesn't work there anymore. |
| 2:10.7 | It turns out he left in August and I believe he is a private chef now. So anyone in the D.C. area, if you're looking for a private |
| 2:19.7 | chef, you should reach out to him. But it was a really great venue. And it's so fun to be able to |
| 2:25.9 | see the whole city, especially with Christmas lights and being able to see the National Christmas |
| 2:30.8 | Tree on the ellipse and to see the White House from there and all the |
| 2:34.3 | monuments it was great so if you live in the DC area recommend going there they have nice |
