| 0:04.8 | In reality television, the people are represented by two separate but equally obsessed attorneys. |
| 0:11.7 | This is their podcast. |
| 0:25.1 | Hi, I'm Sessie. And I'm Angela. |
| 0:26.1 | And this is the Bravo docket. |
| 0:27.5 | All right, guys. |
| 0:29.5 | So Sessie and I are bag. |
| 0:30.9 | We're just going to jump right in. |
| 0:32.8 | From this point forward, we're going to focus really heavily on the legal aspects of the case because there are |
| 0:39.8 | a lot of legal proceedings coming up. We're going to play some clips and we're going to talk about |

| 1:24.9 | And in part of it, he's just explaining their history and he's going through |
| 1:29.1 | and he's like, she has this pattern and he brings up the other cases or the other men where she |
| 1:36.2 | allegedly has done the same thing before. And he says that he believes she falsified her medical |
