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 Slutszer. Let's get to it.

Hi, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. Well, these few weeks in September, I think,

are a little bit overwhelming, and at least for me as a Bravo viewer, because we have four

franchises on at the same time. Four Housewives franchises. I feel like I can't keep up. It's like all the time there's a new

episode, a new reunion, a premiere. There's so much going on. But I had a great time with my guest

Eddie chatting all things, literally almost every franchise we covered. I also was on Emily Hanks podcast.

She Speaks Bravo this week.

So if you want to hear some deep thoughts about this week's Real Housewives of Orange

County, as well as some crazy stories for when I lived in Bangladesh,

and other stuff definitely head over and

listen to that. In terms of Bravo news that's going around, it seems as though Kim and

Croy have called off their divorce for the second time and are trying to reconcile. At this point,

their relationship is honestly a joke. And if they're going to reconcile, like, is this because

they can't afford lawyers fees and they can't afford the divorce? Or is it because they really

want to figure out how to make things work?

Regardless, it's so dramatic and so unhealthy for their family for them to keep splitting up,

calling the police on each other, you know, saying, I'm taking the kids, full custody,

all the stuff, trashing each other in the press, and then being like,

never mind.

Like, JK.

Like, what is so crazy?
