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. I feel like I'm finally able to catch up with what has been on Bravo because there are only three shows that I'm watching now, The Valley, the Real Housewives of Miami, and the Real Housewives of the OC. And that feels very doable right now compared to having four shows. And pretty soon I think it's just

going to be Miami and OC. And you know what? I'm okay with that. I'm not sure if you guys got a

chance to watch. But the Culture Awards, which were on Bravo this past week, led by Bowen Yang and

Matt Rogers, were so funny. And I was at a work event last week. And

me and someone else who watches housewives were talking about, you know, some of our favorite

moments. And one of them is from last season of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City with

Angie talking to Brittany and saying that she has

high body count hair. And then in the culture awards, to have Angie, pillar of the Greek

community, be called on to recite those words. It was just, it was so funny. I really hope that

we're getting the Real Housewives of Salt

Lake City next season sooner than later because I just love those ladies and that show is so

funny to me. They released a small clip. It was like under 30 seconds of Meredith and Mary like like, fishing in very cold water and Mary telling Meredith to, like, do CPR on a dead fish.

I just, I love that show. I absolutely love it. And I don't know about you guys, but I really am liking the real housewives of Miami and the

real housewives of Orange County. I know not everyone is down with both of those, but I'm really

enjoying them. I'm so excited to see the ladies of Miami go to Spain. They're trying to cheer up

Alexia. Oh my goodness. That woman. I just, I love her, but I want to shake her and say, do not go back to Todd. It is not good for you. It is not good for your family and just like have some self-respect. I love her and Marisol's friendship. You know, her and Marisol have a very real friendship, and so do Gina and Emily

on O.C. And it's nice to see the kind of friendship that you think could actually last beyond

housewives. Kind of reminds me of Kyle Richards and Teddy Mellencamp, even though Teddy was fired.

You know, Kyle spends a lot of time with Teddy, and they're very, very close friends. And that's sort of what I would hope would happen with Marisol and Alexia and Emily and Gina.

Now, Julia and Adriana's friendship has been very interesting to watch. I feel like Julia is acting very, very strange, something me and my guest this week
