Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

The journey continues. Over the course of this two-part mega episode, Sarah and AG guest cohost Louis Peitzman discuss all the highs, lows, and oh, omg, ohs on RHOM, RHOC, and The Valley, including Naked Wasted's return to Orange County, why Shannon Beador is the Daniel Day Lewis of Coto de Caza (she's a cobbler!), Tamra's turn against Gretchen and Katie, Lisa and Larsa's fight over Marcus and Jody, Kiki's heart-wrenching reveal about threats against her by loved ones/family, why Julia and Martina need to be literally anywhere but Bravo, Janet and Jason v. the world, and more. Sarah would like nothing more than a spiritual flamenco about a toxic ex (really, it's on her bucket list) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 701! Part 2!

Sarah watches the holy trinity - a double whopper of Miami and OC's mega-WTF moments - and realizes content this incredible is worthy of giving thanks. So after a day of silent contemplation (aka being up until 4am because of all the TV avail), she lights one of Carlton's fave serenity candles and invites her "Julia is bad" spiritual advisor, Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator). Over the course of this two-part mega episode, they discuss all the highs, lows, and oh, omg, ohs on RHOM, RHOC, and The Valley, including Naked Wasted's return to Orange County, why Shannon Beador is the Daniel Day Lewis of Coto de Caza (she's a cobbler!), Tamra's turn against Gretchen and Katie, Lisa and Larsa's fight over Marcus and Jody, Kiki's heart-wrenching reveal about threats against her by loved ones/family, why Julia and Martina need to be literally anywhere but Bravo, Janet and Jason v. the world, and more.

Sarah watches the new Orange County and immediately sends Shan a serenity candle (9-lemon scented, obvs). After noting some of Tamra's revisionist history, she decides to revisit said history itself, and re-watches "Naked Wasted" in its entirety (OC S4 episode 8-9). Clarity comes to the cloff. Sarah unpacks the newest allegations against Katie and Shannon's turning-the-table response, the way Tamra views nuance and grace (selectively), the surprising moments from the episode that compound an already gross event, why teaching one's kids about consent is important regardless of gender, and the myriad examples of a "nakedly" bad intent. Sarah needs a palate cleanser after that throwback, so here's to another new ep - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 701!

The journey continues. Over the course of this historic two-parter, Sarah and AG guest cohost Dylan Hafer discuss Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's love connection (and Andy's delightful town hall), Dylan's Criterion Collection selections for fave Housewives seasons, their status updates (timing: it's complicated) on RHOM, RHOC, Next Gen: NYC, The Valley, and so much more.

Happy AG 700-ish! Sarah celebrates fun math (spoiler alert, this episode did in fact come out in order), with one of her Bravoholic besties, Dylan Hafer (director of entertainment content at Betches Media, host of "Mention It All," and creator of @BravoByBetches, also known as SBBD). Recorded before Dylan went on vacation in PR, and Sarah went on vacation from loving Shan (JK SHE STILL LOVES HER, SILLY GOOSE!). Over the course of this historic two parter, they discuss Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's love connection (and Andy's delightful town hall), Dylan's Criterion Collection selections for fave Housewives seasons, their status updates (timing: it's complicated) on RHOM, RHOC, Next Gen: NYC, The Valley, and so much more.

The Valley concludes it's first-ever reunion, and Sarah thanks the good lord above (Andy Cohen) that it wasn't a 4-parter. After listening to Simon and Garfunkel for inspiration - the sound of silence, a dream - Sarah climbs to the top of her own Mount Everest, the final deep dive on this reunion cycle. While taking pics from the mountaintop, she leans into clear eyed takes (good and the opposite of that) on part 3: why holding multiple truths has proven complicated for the cast (but not the cloffice, lol), playing to a court of law vs. public opinion, the importance of clarifying language (including what is intentionally inflammatory, and/or full of intent), current views on Janet and Jason v. Nia and Danny, why Brittany's experience with Danny shouldn't have been so readily dismissed, Jesse's delightful talking-to about his girlfriend, Michelle, technically present for class, and more. Season 2 is finally over, but this convo is just getting started - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 699! The National Domestic V

The journey continues. Over the course of this two-part The Valley reunion deep dive, Sarah discusses Jax's continued redemption tour (and the importance of calling it what it is, even when the show does not), Janet's new allegations about Danny, Janet and Jason v. the world, Zack's blackout apology, how Brittany has handled feuding friends, Jesse's selective fury about cheating, and why his real estate comms differ just a wee bit from Million Dollar Listing HR.

Sarah decides to take a hilling sound bath to start her week right, until she realizes the good lord has declared a true "case of the Mondays" theme on her DVR. So after being presented with the option of last season of New New York, COVID OC, or Bethenny's Tik Tok after searching "Chanel," she decides the best foot forward is through the Valley reunion. Part deux! Speaking of twos, over the course of this two-parter, Sarah discusses Jax's continued redemption tour (and the importance of calling it what it is, even when the show does not), Janet's new allegations about Danny, Janet and Jason v. the world, Zack's blackout apology, how Brittany has handled feuding friends, Jesse's selective fury about cheating, and why his real estate comms differ just a wee bit from Million Dollar Listing HR.

Sarah hops on Stephanie's PJ for an afternoon in Nola (inspired by RHOC). After freeing the turtles from Gina's soup and telling Pierre there are no skeletons in her closet, just whole bodies and shoes, she realizes the best kind of trip to take is one focused on RHOC. Sarah unpacks Gina's shocking (shocking? Shocking!) reveal on WWHL about Heather Dubrow, Tamra's 'this is a crisis' AMA on IG, a single white female-off that could've been better served by looking at everyone around them, toxic ex-spouses (and WTF Travis' ex is doing?!), William's magical thinking around parental responsibility, and more.

Sarah takes a break from another Bravo marathon and hits DoorDash to order a pizza bagel with a new recipe. And in a moment of kismet and mixed messaging, receives a new Bravoholic pal for the cloffice! She's joined by Jolenta Greenberg (comedian, pop culture critic, and host of the new pod "Hot Mess-terpiece Theatre"). They discuss measuring Katie vs. the universe on RHOC, what it means to be a 'con artist' on a cast with ever-changing bad acts, Jen vs. Tamra's 'singe white female' volley, a sneak preview of Julia and Martina's estrangement from Julia's kids (and how that intersects with Julia v. Guerdy), Dorinda's journey processing grief as rage, and a Bethenny moment of RHONY mess-terpiece theatre.

Sarah watches clips of Isaac Mizrahi and Julia on WWHL and cleanses herself in a mikvah also known as The Real Housewives of Orange County. She deep dives Katie's performance on WWHL (plus Kim's “Truth Bomb” and Alexis’ response), a possible reason why the cast is especially upset about a call usually coming from 'inside the house,' whether an 'all against one' ethos may help Katie with the audience (but probably not a lie detector test), Tamra and Jen's ongoing battle, and more.

Sarah watches part one of The Valley and thinks to herself, "this is a television show I am watching right now, and that's something." She realizes it's a bit of a Mad Libs at points, and who better to string along a few words in fun and creative orders as a reaction to what was shared (and what the network chose not to highlight). Sarah discusses the newest piece of information about Jax's domestic violence against his now-estranged wife, Michelle and Jesse's continued entanglement as they work through their divorce, inconsistent boundaries on and off TV, and what it means to provide resources for one sensitive discussion but not another. The couches were miles long, just like Sarah's thoughts on Jax - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 694! The National Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org and 800.799.SAFE (7233).

The journey continues. Over the course of this 42-hour mini episode, Sarah and AG guest cohost Rafi D'Angelo (writer, overpricedvodka.com) discuss Bethenny's Skinnygirl remix, the joy of watching Next Gen NYC and Bravochildren adulting (as well as their roses and thorns), RHOA's stellar reunion conclusion and Shamea's season performance, why Porsha v. Shamea remains TBD, the history of James Dolan (booooo) vs. Charles Oakley, Guerdy's revenge against Julia, and Katie's battle to tell the truth (quantity over quality).

Sarah prepares for a marathon cloffice catch-up with the perfect ingredientses: Georgia's renderings of Club Club Club, SPF 50 (to protect against the heat between several feuding Bravolebs), a container of whatever is the opposite of cottage cheese (A Bethenny contrarian, who can say), and of course her Bravoholic pal, writer Rafi D'Angelo (overpricedvodka.com).

After watching the newest RHOC, Sarah catches up on CA state law until she realizes she Googled sky tops and the fashion police. Undeterred by her ADHD and curiosity about Katie v. Shan, she realizes the best way to talk this week's receipts is a spiritual trip to Best Buy. AKA: mentioning it all. She unpacks Katie and Shannon's (almost dairy and gluten free) back and forth about recording without consent, Shan's current betrayal top 3, Jen and Ryan's conversation with Dawson about co-signing his brother's college loans (and his dad's fascinating decision making), and whether Tamra will be allowed to say, "that's my opinion!!!!"

Sarah watches the finale of The Valley and slides into Aaron's honey company's DMs to ask for any spare stingers in which to frame her response to all things Jax. After counting to 10 (plus 8, to equal the financial peril he has put his child and her mom through because of ya know, being himself), she mentions it all: Michelle and Aaron's just-announced breakup (and how that may impact Michelle and Jesse's dynamic, plus filming for Season 3), Janet and Jason's obsession with punishing Danny and Nia for things they feel haven't been quadruple-said (with selective silence for Jax), Jason's false equivalency about girl-on-girl crime, Jax's continued anger that Brittany chose to leave, and the future of the show (low on Zen, high on energy).

Sarah finally unpacks the last of her emotional baggage from London in June (why can't Caroline Stanbury return to the UK full time to film, and also ya know, what's life), and realizes the best way to re-connect with her European dream is to kiki with a dream Bravoholic Brit: Elizabeth Day (award winning author, broadcaster, and host of the chart-topping podcast "How to Fail with Elizabeth Day," whose upcoming novel "One Of Us" is currently available to pre-order). They discuss Elizabeth's spiritual Housewife, rose and thorn stories of Housewives in the wild (and which Bravoleb reached her full Ramona potential at Wimbledon), Bravo storytelling around failure and vulnerability, Atlanta's current reunion cycle (and concerns around NY's hard reboot-soft reboot status), and whether Elizabeth is a Tre Hugger or Gorgita Crunch.

Sarah starts binging The Gilded Age, and realizes days (weeks? years?) have gone by since she talked Bravo. So much has changed.
