Is This Real Life? With Mandy Slutsker

Diana Espir, host of the 'You Can’t Sit With Me' podcast joins Mandy to break down all the craziness that was the #RHOC reunion. Apparently in the OC, when they go low, you accuse them of doing blow! Mandy and Diana breakdown the epic fight between Kelly and Vicki, whether the Housewives re-watching their drama pulls them back in, Diana’s advice for Vicki when she gets called a pig, and speculations about what ended Gina's marriage. Plus recaps of #RHOD, #RHONJ and #RHOA.

Dr. James Mercer joins Mandy to recap the RHOC finale. They discuss his friendship with Emily Simpson, Housewives Derangement Syndrome, everyone’s confrontations with Shannon, and what we’re looking forward to on the reunion. Plus, James dishes on his thoughts on his friends from #RHOD, why he’s #TeamDAndra, and whether D’Andra and LeeAnne’s friendship is reparable. Finally, in the spirit of Thanksgiving and #NationalAdoptionMonth, James shares how you can support foster care children through Lonestar Social Services (lonestarsocialservices.com) and Captain Sandy Yawn shares how to support the Jacksonville School for Autism (jsakids.org), which was founded by her sister.

Mandy's neighbor Robert Block joins to dish on this week's episode of #RHOC! They discuss Vicki and Shannon’s surgeries, the excessive amount of pillows in Gina’s casita, if Emily's comments about Shannon's alleged depression will dominate the reunion, and if there's any truth to tea leaf readings. Plus, Mandy recaps the craziness that is #RHOA, #RHONJ, and #RHOD.

Captain Sandy Yawn of #BelowDeckMed joins Mandy for a special bonus episode to share the fun (and challenges!) of running a yacht while filming a reality show, how she handles difficult passengers and crew, her thoughts on this season of #BelowDeck in Tahiti, and her experience as a woman in a male dominated field. Captain Sandy also shares how she navigates difficult waters - including a run in with pirates on the Red Sea! It’s a great and inspiring listen.

Housewives super fan Andrew Codlin joins from Vietnam to chat with Mandy this exciting time of year when FOUR Housewives franchises are on at once! They discuss distinct regional identities of Housewives and recap Andrew’s favorite #RHOA, the epic #RHOD Copenhagen fights, Andrews insight into Dallas society, and Mandy’s first experience with #RHONJ. Plus they spill some tea on #SouthernCharm and Mandy preps Andrew for an epic season of #PumpRules!

Erin Martin joins Mandy to tell us about her new podcast “Cult Talk” and throw some shade on the #BelowDeck off camera drama, the symptoms of “reality TV derangement syndrome” as exhibited by Shannon Beador, and Erin’s theory behind why #RHOD’s LeeAnne is delaying her marriage. Mandy and Erin ponder some of Bravo’s biggest questions, like how to remedy the OC cast for next season and why the Dallas ladies are obsessed with what society thinks. Plus, Mandy shares her experimentation with Mama Dee’s Green Miracle powder!

This week Mandy takes a look into the fading friendships on #RHOC and #RHOD. Is the OC's Shannon really that self absorbed? Why is Tamra gossiping about her BFF to Gina and Emily? And things get real nasty down in Dallas when LeeAnne confronts D'Andra, leaving us wondering: Is it ever a good idea to imply your friend is an alcoholic on national TV?

Grant Rutter joins Mandy to give his famous rants on the latest pop culture and Housewives gossip! They also recap the latest on #RHOC (Is 12 year old Jolie the only level-headed person on the show?)and dissect the LeeAnne and D'Andra feud on #RHOD (did the show come between their friendship?). Come for the gossip, stay for the ranting!

Shira Weiss joins Mandy to give the scoop on all the recent Bravo scandals including from the latest on #SouthernCharm's Thomas Ravenel’s rape charges and arrest (& the unlikely reaction from a victim’s daughter) to reasons behind the feuding on #RHOBH to Mauricio’s bad real estate deal of a house featured on the show. Plus, Shira and Mandy break down the latest from #RHOC and #RHOD - and reveal which Housewife is causing the biggest headache for Bravo’s PR department!

Kati joins Mandy to discuss some of the latest scandals hitting the Bravo universe, plus full recaps of #RHOC and #RHOD. Topics of discussion include "Is Tamra this season's shit stirrer?" "What's the deal with Gina's divorce?" "How would you get out of a conversation with Kameron?" and - most importantly - why is there a baby kangaroo in Stephanie's bathroom!?!?
