AtD translation: Is, it’s all these Utahans in town hollerin

[Mike Jing]

P205.21-26   “You kind of see the story here. Is, it’s all these Utahans in
town hollerin at Sage to get married, some Mormon boy she can’t hardly
remember from back when she lived there, Cooper meantime wants her to ride
off on that motor concern that never seems to get ‘em more’n a mile ‘fore
he’s down into the works with her passin him pry bars and things, so she’s
nobody to go looking to for advice of the heart . . .

Is "Is" here short for "The thing is"?
