| 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. |
| 0:34.9 | Hi, everyone. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah and happy new year. This is actually going to be the last |
| 0:42.3 | podcast of 2022. I am taking next week off. I have not taken a week off this year from the podcast yet. |
| 0:51.5 | Even when I was traveling, I made sure to record in advance. And I just, |

| 1:59.8 | through the Housewives universe. You know, |
| 2:02.0 | we all joke and laugh at these garbage, quote-unquote, shows, but these shows have brought me |
| 2:07.3 | so much. And this week, you'll hear from two people I met through the podcast that I would |
| 2:14.1 | have never met otherwise. Sean Richardson, who's been a longtime listener, |
| 2:19.0 | and Terea Faisan, who has become a very close friend of mine. |
