Welcome to Is This Real Life, a podcast that relates the quirkiest aspects of pop culture and reality TV to our own lives.

This is your host, Mandy Sleutzer.

Let's get to it. Let's get to it.

Hi, everyone. Hope that you had a great week. Mine has been really interesting. I feel like all the worlds are colliding. My world, housewives worlds. This is one of the

only times of year where we have four housewives shows on Bravo with the real housewives of Atlanta

and New Jersey both premiering this week. It also was the midterm elections in the United States, and I live and work

in Washington, D.C., which is sort of the political epicenter in the U.S., and it's also been so

interesting to see my favorite reality stars also tweeting about politics and getting involved,

especially the cast of Vanderpump

rules. If you would have told me years ago that I would be looking for political information

from Kristen Doty or Katie Maloney Schwartz, I would have laughed in your face. But let me tell

you these ladies are on point. Also, in my daily work, I would have laughed in your face. But let me tell you, these ladies are on point.

Also, in my daily work, I work in public health. And I was at a conference a couple weeks ago

and met a really hilarious and brilliant guy. His name is Andrew Codlin, and he will be this

week's guest. So I've got my work worlds colliding.

We've got the Housewives universe all colliding. And it is going to be a fantastic episode.

Also, later this week, I am going to be releasing a bonus episode with Captain Sandy from

Below Deck Med to do a deep dive into her life and what everything was like

on Below Deck Med, as well as recapping Below Deck this season in Tahiti.
