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.
0:21.7	So, hi, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. So this week's episode is so special. To me,
0:42.9	to all of you probably, who listen, but mainly because my guest, Brian Moylan, is someone that I
0:49.5	have looked up to for so long in this Housewives universe. You know, I've read his books. I've listened to him on so
0:56.4	many different podcasts. I read his recaps. I just find him endlessly talented and entertaining.
1:03.9	And we have an almost two-hour chat today where we discuss everything from like summer house summer house martha's
1:13.8	vineyard atlanta jersey how we might remake the cast of jersey following this season and of course

2:27.7	last few years with regards to Raquel. And I know I am overstepping by talking about that,
2:37.8	but I hope you guys find at least the conversation in lightning.
2:45.9	But I want to get out ahead of that and say, yeah, I shouldn't talk about people's mental health or personality disorders. It's just we talk about what we witness on TV and we try and relate it to our own lives and the world
2:53.0	around us. That's what this podcast is. So that's sort of the way in which I was thinking about
3:00.9	this and talking about it. That all being said, I would really love to talk to someone who is an actual trained psychologist,
