| 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. |
| 0:18.4 | I'm your host, Mandy Sleutzer. Let's get to it. |
| 0:32.7 | Hi, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. My week was pretty good because my friend Jody and I got tickets to |
| 0:40.7 | BravoCon. So I'll be in Las Vegas in mid-November. And luckily enough, we also got tickets to |
| 0:48.9 | Kelly Clarkson's show. She is doing a residency in Vegas. and her last night is actually during the weekend of |
| 0:58.4 | BravoCon. So we're going to watch her on her last night, and I'm really excited about that. |
| 1:05.4 | Well, for today's show, I have B. You guys know him as Pet Shop Boy on. We talk about Summer House, Next Gen NYC, and the |
| 1:14.6 | Real Housewives of Atlanta. But he doesn't watch The Valley. And let me tell you, I don't blame him. |
| 1:21.2 | It is so dark. So I'm going to share some of my thoughts right now. Before I get into this week's episode about The Valley, however, I wanted to point out that the New York Times Magazine did an article this past week about the darkness of Bravo shows. |
| 1:42.3 | And it's kind of posing the question, is Bravo sort of chasing after |
| 1:46.7 | these storylines and this very dark material, including domestic abuse? Or is this stuff that had |
| 1:54.5 | gone on and now it's finally maybe being shown on camera? But regardless, I think it begs the question, why is someone like |
| 2:03.8 | Jacks Taylor continuing to get business opportunities with the production company, with Bravo, |
| 2:11.1 | with NBC Universal, when, you know, he has displayed this type of behavior, not just towards his wife, but his co-worker. |
| 2:20.8 | And, you know, they have a responsibility to keep the set safe. And I don't believe the set has been safe for Brittany. |
| 2:29.3 | And I saw that Jax was supposed to have some sort of a podcast tour and that got canceled and he said he was going to take time off of social media. |
| 2:39.0 | Okay, sure, Jan. |
| 2:41.1 | Whatever it is, this man is not capable of getting better. |
| 2:46.0 | He has gotten so many chances. |
| 2:48.1 | He is now, quote unquote, sober. |
| 2:53.6 | So, okay, maybe he's not using cocaine and alcohol anymore, but he's still behaving in a way that is very dangerous to those around him. |
| 3:00.6 | And I'm so confused why he is on the list of Bravo Leopardy's going to BravoCon. I think we all kind of have to ask ourselves, |
