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. Well, if you're listening on Sunday, it's December 17th,

and that marks eight years since my mom passed away. And the date is always very overwhelming for me,

but I honor her memory at two different times of year. The English date, which is December 17th

when she died, and then the date on

the Hebrew calendar, which commemorates her York site, which just means remembrance when you

honor the death of a loved one. And in the Hebrew calendar, it's the sixth of Teivet. But this year,

the sixth of Teavet falls on the evening of Sunday, December 17th.

So I think it's very interesting and serendipitous that the two days fall at the same time

this year. So I'm going to be taking a little bit of time off social media. I'm still going to

post about the podcast and some other things, but not really going to be in my DMs and stuff like that. So bear with me while I take a little bit of time for myself this coming week.

So getting into Bravo related stuff, Ultimate Girls Trip, New York Legacy Edition is out. I have not had a chance

to watch it yet, but cannot wait to get into it. I've heard it is fabulous and so fun. One thing I'm

kind of sad about is hearing today that Ultimate Girls Trip that was filmed in Morocco is unlikely to make it to air

because of all of the legal stuff and accusations that were made, and it's just all a bit of a mess.

Brandy Glanville, however, is not going quietly into the night. She is very upset that it's not making

it to air. She wants a chance to clear her name, and she wants to prove to everyone that

production was the one that was telling her to drink more and telling her to do certain things.

And, you know, we've kind of heard some of this stuff

from the reality reckoning articles

that have come out about production,
