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. I'm your host, Mandy Sleutzer. Let's get to it.
0:34.7	Hi, everyone. I hope you had a good week. Thank you all so much for the kind messages that you have sent me.
0:40.8	I was just not feeling in a great place last weekend when I recorded and, you know, shared a lot of my feelings with you all.
0:48.5	And thank you for coming out of the woodwork, people who've never messaged me before, just to introduce yourself, say
0:54.6	a little bit about yourself, that you listen to the podcast, that you enjoy it. It really warmed
0:59.7	my heart. Unfortunately, I got a little sick last weekend. I had kind of a tickle in my throat
1:06.1	and tried to lay low for a few days, thought I was better, and then traveled to Minnesota to see
1:12.7	family. And the afternoon that I, after I got in, I started feeling a lot worse. And then the next day
1:20.2	had some pretty hard time breathing. So ended up actually in the ER, and I have pneumonia and an ear infection, which Lord knows I had no idea
1:31.9	adults could get those. So it's been a week. Another reminder of the importance of taking care of
1:40.1	myself and being a little more in tune with my body. I think I'm not the best in tune. So for part one of
1:46.3	Eminem hour, we actually recorded it more recently. So you're hearing me after I'm on antibiotics
1:53.7	and prednisone. But for part two, we recorded earlier in the week on Wednesday afternoon when I
2:00.0	was really not feeling well,
2:01.7	but was pushing through. And so apologies in advance, if you listen to Part 2 on the Yerbish
2:07.6	Therapist podcast, I probably do not sound that wonderful. So you can actually find Part 2,
2:13.7	because Melissa's doing her break, you can find it on your Bish therapist YouTube or on her
2:19.8	Patreon. And we discuss The Valley. We also discuss NextGen NYC. We talk a little bit about
2:28.3	real house or not real housewives, the secret lives of Mormon wives, which I finally finished and cannot wait for the coming reunion that is going to air this week.
2:39.7	I am all in on Mormon Wives. I am fascinated by it. And I'm all in on the shows that we have airing. So today we talk about the Real Housewives of Atlanta and the real housewives of Miami.
2:52.4	And Melissa provides such incredible insight on what's going on with Gertie and with Julia.
2:58.7	I give her a little bit of background about Julia and some of the trauma that she has in her background and how that may be playing into how she's behaving, which is
