| 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. |
| 0:34.0 | Hi, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. I wanted to wish Shana Tova to all who celebrate. It was Rosh Hashanah this weekend. And I am recording this a tad early so that I can travel and be home with my family for the holiday. So this week's episode does not include anything on OC or on Southern |
| 0:58.1 | Charm, but I will be covering those next week. Speaking of Southern Charm, it seems as though |
| 1:05.4 | most of the Southern Charm and Summer House cast got axed from Winter House because Winterhouse season three actually has a lot more |
| 1:15.6 | people from the below deck franchises. There's even Brian Benny from Family Karma. So I am here for |
| 1:23.1 | kind of a reboot and a refresh. I think it'll be really interesting. It's odd that Tom Schwartz is there. |
| 1:29.9 | He just seems so out of place. But I think it'll be a lot of fun to watch. And yeah, very, |
| 1:37.0 | very interesting. You know, we've been following this Lindsay and Carl story for a bit of time, |
| 1:43.9 | a couple weeks now. And, you know, |
| 1:46.3 | there was a story that was an exclusive in people about the letter or the message or the email |
| 1:52.7 | that Carl sent to all of the invited wedding guests saying that the wedding is no longer happening. |
| 1:58.6 | But, you know, how he's devastated, how Lindsay's devastated, |
| 2:01.7 | and these are some options. You can go to Mexico anyhow, you can, whatever it is. And Sierra made |
| 2:08.5 | it sound as if a wedding guest sold that to People magazine. I don't know if that's the case, |
| 2:16.8 | but I, you know, my thoughts on it are Lindsay |
| 2:20.7 | is the PR pro. And she's probably like, you ended this. You have to deal with it now. You deal with |
| 2:26.8 | our wedding guests. You deal with letting people know. Like the burden is not on me. I did not |
| 2:31.5 | end this relationship. And so I bet Carl is like in over his head with the PR |
| 2:37.9 | stuff. And it's just very odd that they didn't have a joint statement saying how sad that they are, |
| 2:44.1 | but that they're moving forward in the best way. Like clearly it was not an amicable breakup. |
| 2:50.7 | And I'm just kind of interested to see how things move forward. |
