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 Sleutzger. Let's get to it.
0:34.5	Hi, everyone. I hope you had a good week. I am back with Melissa Reich for M&M Hour. We had so much fun recording and talked about all kinds of stuff. There's a couple of things we didn't get to that I'll share just before we get into the recording. I would say on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion,
0:58.4	I thought it was interesting when Rachel Zoe was asked about how her ex-husband or estranged
1:06.2	husband Roger has handled her being on TV and talking about him and talking about the new girlfriend.
1:12.8	I just thought all that was really interesting because the girlfriend claims that she's been with
1:18.5	Roger now for two years and that she met the kids one year in and that Rachel is making
1:27.1	all of this up for a storyline. And I don't know what to believe.
1:33.2	I think I'm interested to see how Rachel is next season where this isn't like the main thing going on in her life.
1:41.1	And I'm glad to hear that her kids are happier and in a good place with Roger.
1:46.2	And hopefully they're in an okay place with the girlfriend, too. I did think it was, I don't know,
1:54.2	a little bit not baffling, because I understand where they're coming from, but Andy was asking her,
2:02.7	you know, do you have any relationship with Roger's girlfriend? And all the women were like,
2:07.4	are you crazy? Of course not. She's like, no, and I won't. But, and again, I'm not, I don't have
2:13.4	kids. I'm not like in this situation at all. But if I were her, I would be really curious as to who
2:21.3	my children were spending time with when they weren't with me. And as much as you're like
2:27.9	pissed off at this woman and at your ex and it seems like they were cheating. I don't know.
2:34.5	I still feel like it would just be better for the kids to have some sort of just like, okay,
2:42.5	we can talk or we can text kind of a thing going on.
2:46.9	I'm not sure.
2:48.5	This goes into a whole theme about this episode where I've just been noticing a lot on these shows women going after other women who are part of a cheating situation rather than the person that I think they should hold blame with, which is their partner.
3:07.0	Like, be mad at your husband for stepping out in your marriage.
