| 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. |
| 0:33.2 | Hi, everyone. I hope you had a great week. It's been very hectic here in D.C. with, you know, |
| 0:40.6 | the smoke from the wildfires and then the indictment of the former president. There's just, |
| 0:48.4 | there's a lot happening. It's hashtag, it's all happening, you know, and to happen the same week as the third part of the |
| 0:57.1 | Vanderpump Rules reunion, man, it's just a lot to handle. Well, I'm so excited for my guest this |
| 1:07.0 | week. I have Kelly Williams. You guys know her as Laguna Bioc on Instagram and on Twitter. |
| 1:13.0 | She is so funny and we have a great conversation about the Vanderpump rules like the ending of the |
| 1:21.4 | reunion. We talk some summer house and then we end up having this conversation I didn't expect about fame and blinds and |
| 1:31.0 | blind item culture. And it's really interesting. I think you guys are really going to like it. |

| 1:43.1 | to recap. So starting with the OC, oh my goodness, |
| 1:48.0 | it's back. I actually enjoyed watching the episode. I really, really appreciate them breaking the |
| 1:56.2 | fourth wall. They don't have to do it a ton, but just acknowledging the fact that Tamara was fired from the show |
| 2:03.7 | and it led to a fallout between her and Shannon. And that's actually why it's so awkward between |
| 2:11.0 | them. I also appreciate that Heather is alluding to the fact that Gina stopped talking to her after filming |
| 2:18.3 | wrapped. And now that cameras are up again, now they're friends. And she thought that |
| 2:22.7 | Gina was her real friend, not just someone who's a friend on the show. And these are exactly |
| 2:28.4 | the kinds of things that I think Bravo and production need to be doing to keep our interest |
| 2:33.7 | because they are real and they |
| 2:35.6 | are authentic. And we don't want to see these manufactured stories. We want to know what's actually |
| 2:41.3 | happening in these people's lives. And because they are on a show, acknowledging they're on a show |
