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, I'm currently out of town for work, and you know I don't

like to leave you hanging. So I recorded a special episode with Rob Raines, who is so funny,

where we preview the upcoming shows on Bravo this fall. We discussed the Real Housewives of New York, a little bit of Potomac. We get into Salt Lake,

and then we rounded out with Southern Charm, which I believe is coming back at some point this

fall. So I think you guys are going to really enjoy this episode. Rob is so hysterical. He was

previously on an episode that I did with him and my neighbor

Aruna and they're just the best and you guys love them and wanted them back. And Aruna was busy.

So we just had Rob, but both of them are going to come back at some point in the future. So

hope you guys enjoy as always. If you enjoy the podcast,

you know, rate it, give it a five-star rating, leave a kind review. And if you want to get in

touch with me, reach out at Mandy Sleutzger on Instagram. I'm also on Twitter a little bit.

I really enjoy hearing from all of you. And yeah, have a wonderful week.

Enjoy the Real Housewives of New York.

Hi, everyone. I am here with Rob Raines, who you guys might remember a couple months ago, he came on

the podcast with my neighbor Aruna,

and he got such, you know, critical acclaim from all of you listeners that I decided to bring him back.

Rob is an energy and utilities policy wonk. So if you have any questions about solar panels or, you know, I don't even know what else,

maybe the bipartisan infrastructure bill and how that impacts, you know, energy, you know,

Rob is, Rob is your go-to guy. How are you doing, Rob? I'm well, Mandy. Thank you so much for bringing me back.

And there's always time for me to tank the positive first impression. No, no, no. You were great.
