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 Sleutzker. Let's get to it. Hi, everyone. I hope you had a good week. Well, since the world is a dumpster fire, I thought I'd start by sharing a cute story. So a few weeks ago, I visited my nieces and my sister-in-law while my brother was at a trip. And we hung out with one of my very close friends,

John and my other close friend, Josh, and John and Josh are married.

And tonight, my brother and sister-in-law and the girls ran into John and Josh in Minneapolis.

And my niece, Annie, was sharing with him her favorite thing to do at after school is to marry her best friend, Stevie. And Josh asked, oh, so, you know, when you get married

I was just confused as to where we really were. Like, what had happened, how long had it

been since they filmed the reunion, since they saw each other in New York, who's friends with

who, who has problems with who? Like, I couldn't remember it all. And they just started on this

RV. And it was hard to keep up. But by the end, I got pretty into it. And I laughed at, you know, the Blair Witch Project of it all, but really enjoyed hearing Whitney Rose talk about her business failing and just her being a little more honest. And Bronwyn saying that she lied about the $4 million necklace because she wanted to be cool. I really hope

that she just sticks to her guns and doesn't pay attention to what people are saying in the comments.

And she just lives her true life and her true self and we will enjoy. I feel like some of the
