Welcome to Is This Real Life, a Bravo podcast that relates our favorite shows to our own lives in the world around us.

I'm your host, Mandy Slutsger. Let's get to it.

Hi, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. Mine was a little taxing. About a week or so ago,

DC got hit with a pretty bad thunderstorm that had torrential rain and high winds. And I sustained

a couple of leaks as a result. And it has just been a lot to handle. And the drama

going on with my condo association rivals, housewives. It's just like absolutely crazy. And my guest,

Christina, had a pretty crazy week as well and had a sick kid.

And so we just did a shorter interview. So I'm going to share some more of my thoughts in the

beginning of this episode that we weren't able to get to. But rest assured, we chat about

absolutely everything, including all the latest Bravo gossip, what happened to Rachel and James's

dog Graham, stuff with Garcell and Diana and the supposed bots. Bravo con tickets.

Oh my God.

That's another thing that made the week taxing.

Oh, gosh.

So I tried to get VIP tickets both on the presale day and on the following day, the

Friday, with a friend of mine. And we just had no luck. So I got a general

admission ticket, and I'm hoping that this wait list that they put together actually pans out,

because I think I was one of the first on it. As soon as it said, joined the wait list, I was like,

yes, yes. So, you um you know gonna hold out hope

that i get a VIP ticket because i've saved up a lot of money to do this there's been

three bravo cons and i wasn't able to go to any of them the first year it sold out so quickly

and the last couple of years, I have had weddings.
