Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

The journey continues. The (not-so-conspiracy-but-maybe) theories, too. Sarah and AG guest co-host Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High & Low") continue their OC dive. They discuss Alexis' shocking reveal about that alleged video of Shan (and John's decision to keep quiet, aka, not), a timeline query that might impact a level of connection to Tamra during her chat with Shan, why Sarah wishes Tamra wore her "active listening" hat during her convo with Gina about identity and shame, BBDB's deep dive on Ryan's legal situation and how that may or may not impact Jen's future (....it may), and whether Katie's motivations match what Heather says is a "fan ID."

Sarah survives a near-hit on her life (the OC trailer dropped, and she started hyperventilating). Thrilled with a new lease (don't tell the cloff), she celebrates another new day in paradise (a season of Orange County fully focused on Shan). So she Zooms up fellow OC enthusiast, her own personal LifeAlert, and Bravoholic BFF, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High & Low"). They celebrate their brand new niche NJ merchandise collaboration (links in bio! Two size options! Extra cackle with both!), and deep dive the inspo behind Send it To Karen@Example.com, what it means to be a Tam stan, Gina and Emily's stress release, and of course a back-and-forth on Bennifer. It's a to be continued that makes Bravo proud - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 581! Part 1! Just Launched!

Extra! Hey, extra! Hey, look at the headline! The two parter spectacular continues. Sarah and AG guest co-host Evan Real (host at Page Six, and cohost of Page Six's podcast "Virtual Reali-tea") continue their deep dive, and discuss clarity on how leaking stories to Page Six has changed from those glorious early days (shoutout RHONY S3), Ramona's firing remix, after Page Six posted a screenshot of racist texts, what Alexis is losing by not sharing a storyline focused on herself, an expectation of growth that may or may not be deserved, Sarah's sassy feedback to Tamra's recent viral interview with Evan, what RHOC could learn from Maya Angelou, and a shiva call for Bennifer.

Sarah finds out the news that Bennifer is over (again) aka love is dead, and immediately turns into a werewolf and howls at the moon. Thankfully, the moon responds, by sending stars into her DMs. So she invites one of her faves to the cloff: LA transplant making his triumphant return back to NYC, Evan Real (host at Page Six, and co-host of Page Six's pod "Virtual Reali-tea). On part 1 of this two parter, they discuss Evan's Andy Cohen esque transition from senior TV reporter to full-time talent, maintaining relationships with Bravolebs, and what happens when Erika Jayne felt Evan was not deferential enough to collab, the difference between access and alliance (and how one can lead to the appearance of the other), Larsa's Kardashian cosplay, how an audience silent majority impacts the ways franchises are cast (bcc RHONJ), and what Vicki shared about her decision to get plastic surgery, following on-camera shaming from Slade. This ep is a BOGO bonanza, so head on over to the remix now - it's Andy's Girls, Episo

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Sarah rejoices in the prestige trailer drop of Salt Lake's upcoming season - one for the ages, blessed be the engaging - and celebrates with a hot cocoa in the icicle-cold cloff (it's still so hot in NYC, 'kinda like that NYC trailer, etc'). Sarah realizes her second round needs to be piping hot tea, so she invites over a Bravoholic pal ready to spill, Gibson Johns (host of the pod "Gabbing with Gib"). They deep dive the questions (and screams) from the SLC drop, how the women on Salt Lake use "the vault," the evolution/estrangements between Meredith and Lisa, Meredith and Mary, Heather and Whitney, and that unnamed 'arch nemesis,' questions about Rebecca Minkoff and whether the show will focus/address her....community sitch, Tamra's continued vendetta against Shan, John's time on iMovie themed around his obsession (punishing Shan), whether Emily has become more of a mean girl since becoming friends with Shan, and the curious pigeon edit in NY. Snowflakes are on the hori

It's time. Time to wrap up in the warmth of Stanbury's cool wit, throw on 15 foot platform stilettos like Ayan, pretend to be a model of humanity like Fake Dr. Sara, time to begin the second season of Real Housewives of Dubai. Sarah discusses her reasons for initially wanting to demote Dubai to friend-of on her DVR (and why she changed her mind), and reacts to the Season 2 premiere: Ayan's decision to continue/escalate her dramatic looks for filming (and potential pressure she might feel of constantly reaching for new heights, one that could be a distraction/challenge she doesn't need to undertake), Ayan's upset with "Dr." Sara about a "victimizing" narrative, why Ayan and Leesa's upcoming friendship fallout feels similar to Dallas' Brandi and Stephanie, Taleen's energetic entrance (and whether Brooks feels competitive or jealous of her friend's role on the show), and more. Sarah was promised Brooks and Fake Dr. Sara will flop hard, and she's flipping out with excitement - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 578! Supp

After a wild few weeks of Bravo, Sarah realizes she needs a day to chill. So she prepares her preferred kiki - a seltzer spritz with sodium supplements mixed in, obvs - and settles into the People's People's Couch for a night in. But wait, there's an even better Kiki to enjoy - Sarah's Bravoholic pal, Kiki Monique (aka @TheTalkOfShame, host of Reality Checked on Radio Andy and Pop Crime on Betches Media). They hop on a Zoom and have an epic deep dive: Kiki's experience covering Tom Girardi's trial, Alexis and John's obsession with Shan (and their newest threat to publicly humiliate her further), Alexis' manipulation of her 'Christian faith' in order to fight, the ways John is now verging into NJ husbands levels of toxicity, Tamra's attempts to explain her behavior with Shan ("naked wasted," anyone?), and Heather's upset on behalf of her kids. Bravo may not be exactly like OnlyFans, but Ryan says not to tell Jen - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 577! Support the sass: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/damegalli JOIN/LEV

Sarah takes note of the raging temps outside (as hot as her love for Chris Manzo and Pedro Pascal) and realizes what she really needs in her life, in addition to SPF 900, is a cool-as-a-cucumber convo on the past, present, and future of Bravo TV/Housewives. And who better to discuss the impact of OG RHONY than New York Bravoholic Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined"). They settle into the cloff for a seltzer spritz, and discuss the challenges ahead for NJ's current cast, Jackie's new pod announcement (...lol?), Southern Charm's confusing decision to cut Olivia (upholding the cast patriarchy, not quite as big a shock), the difference between OG RHONY and current Housewives (external world vs. interior world), the ways storytelling used to be shaped by 'society,' which has been replaced on NY by influence/content creation, and Orange County's Crucible vibe. Katie may need to let the mouse go, aka that paparazzi text, and pick up this convo instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 576! Sup

And they're back! On part 2 of this double episode extravaganza, Sarah and AG guest co-host Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author) unpack all things Orange County, with a dash of Atlanta and Dubai! They discuss Tamra vs. Tammy Sue, the difficulty of navigating a job in the 'real world' when it intersects with your gig on reality TV, assumptions about Jen's interest in financial independence (or at least, bettering her knowledge), the joy of watching Heather Dubrow in defense mode, Kenya's exit, and Caroline Brooks' insolence.

Sarah sends an early co-pay for therapy, in advance of a NJ non-reunion reunion alternative spiel. It gave so little, and yet there is still more to say. A true miracle, indeed. Another miracle: a double episode with Sarah's Bravoholic pal, New York Times best-selling author, Michael Arceneaux (Jackie, take note). On part 1? NJ, obvs. Sarah and Michael discuss differing opinions on the toxicity scale for NJ husbands and wives, Dolo's perhaps subdued pushback about Luis' "suffering" diatribe, and Teresa's response, whether Tre has capacity for empathy outside of her immediate world, and how that compares with a sense of protectiveness, and why Michael feels Tre may be the key to NJ's future.

It's off to Franklin Lakes! Sarah and AG guest co-host Erica Cobb (co-host of "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP Awards nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb") discuss the not-special special episode of NJ that technically aired: the network's decision to wrap the season, and possibly much of its cast, not with a roar or a whimper but a dull 44 minutes of TV, Teresa's strong hold on Marg as enemy number one (and two, and three), what actually happened between Jackie and Melissa (no really, what happened), the ways Dolores' defense of Marg's child came into conflict with Teresa's delayed appreciation of empathy, and whether any of these people actually want to be friends (including, ya know, the audience).

Inspired by the non-reunion reunion alternative that technically aired on Sunday, Sarah sits in silence for an hour, watching an ant fight itself. A day's work is never done, so after telling said ant that Radar online says his S15 contract is in jeopardy, she heads to a day spa for some much needed zen. Who does she see in line at reception but someone who is always receptive to talking about NJ and OC, Erica Cobb (co-host of "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP Awards nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb"). They check in with aliases - necessary when publicly discussing Marg v. Tre - and record a deep dive double ep. Part 1: Orange County! They unpack Alexis' impersonation of Shan, Tamra's use of alcoholism as a pejorative, Shannon's continued growth, Jennifer and Gina's fascinating battle, and more.

Sarah realizes she's spent too much time on the metaphorical side of the highway (aka "dream real estate" for Jen Aydin), wondering what direction RHONJ will go after tonight's non-reunion Splenda alternative special ep. It's a convo reacting to an ep after all, so who better to bring some light than another recent episode star, straight from WWHL where she brought the house down with her heaven-sent Teresa impersonation, Andrea Lopez (comedian, impressionist, actress, and host of the pod Big Wigs). They settle into the cloff and unpack Andrea's time on WWHL, her relationship with Teresa as an impressionist and Bravoholic, Tre's journey on and off TV, and the impact of her new love, love, love, the complication positioning of NJ without a true reunion, Jen Aydin's (figurative) punching down, and of course, an exclusive interview with "Teresa Giudice." This convo may as well be the fifth dorter, because it's joined the AG family of all-time greats - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 573! Support the sass: https://www

The journey continues: and this time, Sarah and AG guest co-host Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD) are talking Salt Lake City/Franklin Lakes. They unpack Sarah's theory around why Jackie's reveal wasn't leaked before the finale aired (and how that compares with SLC), Teresa and Luis' love, love, love, how to discuss Luis' possible influence on Tre's behavior without removing her own agency/accountability, the difficulty in trying to counter conspiracy theorists with facts, whether Jackie and Teresa's friendship will last, how to discuss a possible cast cull (amid very strategic 'ruhmorz' and nastiness on social), the network's seeming indifference/passive accountability toward a franchise that has become centered around going way too far, and which cast members Dylan would like to keep around. Just a casual convo with eviscerating takes on the single most toxic Bravo franchise and fandom, so this should

It's a rainy, stormy Friday. Or as Edgar Allan Poe called it, the perfect time to talk about Tam. Sarah dances in the rain because life, ammiright, when she spots her fave partner in storm chasing, and general sass, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD). They dry off with humor (Sarah's fave), and settle into the cloff for a two part episode that does anything but. Part 1: Orange County! They discuss Alexis' PR skill set (less skill, more set) around defending 'her' reputation as John's girlfriend, Tamra's calculation around shaming Shan, Emily and Gina's continued growth as Housewives and human people, Gina's spot-on analysis/accountability on what she owes Katie (and Katie's perhaps miscalculated initiation to the group), whether Vicki should be promoted from cameo-plus to friend-of/full time, and more.

An unfortunate side effect of melatonin is wild nightmares, which would explain some of the behaviors Sarah "3 mg for beddy bye" wishes she dreamt up coming from the RHONJ cast. Alas, so much of it is real, so Sarah puts on her jammies (the pattern: Chris Manzo throwing ham against a fridge), and deep dives more on the RHONJ finale: Andy's thoughts on *that* scene about suffering, translating Luis' apology (TLDR: blame Marg), the difficulties around nuance and projection when it comes to Housewives commentary (and fandom), Jen's obsession with weaponizing bodies and gender politics, and Jackie's "friendship" theatre.

It's finally here. Our national nightmare is almost over - but not before a few well-deserved gasps. Sarah celebrates the RHONJ finale by going to Crate and Barrel to buy a glass pitcher, since it's missing from the finale edit. She pours herself a tall glass of water (the thirst from some cast members is contagious), and deep dives initial finale reactions: the ways loyalty and ethics intersect on RHONJ (often in diametric opposition to an alleged 'above-line' ethos), Dolores and Marg's fight about the "summit" descriptor and invite (and how that scene compares to Dolo's more subdued reactions involving Tre/Luis), Jackie's shocking reveal and possible Depends sponsorship, breaking down the timeline of Teresa's allegations (updated on the RHONJ after show!) against Marg and Melissa, and what it means to have cast members want families of Housewives to suffer. Bo Dietl hasn't made a dossier about this deep dive, but that's just because he's, ya know, in no way associated with the show and cast etc etc lol - it

The journey continues. Sarah and guest co-host Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator) continue their deep dive on Orange County, Tamra, and Shan, and the breaking news announcement (caught in the cloff!) about Dorinda’s in-development spinoff, before putting on some hazmat suits to talk Franklin Lakes. They discuss the network's confusing edit/strategy around the RHONJ finale and reunion video night thing, how to move forward if anyone currently in the cast remains, the Luis pickle, which Housewife husband they think is number 1, Marg's update on Joe B.'s health, and yes, some positive thinking about the future of the franchise.

Sarah draws a Venn diagram of good TV, Bravo viewers, and everything but RHONJ, and sighs with delight. It's been a journey, these last few months on Bravo. And Sarah can see the light. It's so sunny, in fact, that after applying SPF 9 bajillion, she invites over another ray of sunshine, Housewives writer and culture commentator Louis Peitzman, for a brief mini 2.5hr episode. On part 1, they discuss Sarah's status update on Dubai (and Louis' mixed feelings about the season), and of course the continued triumph that is Orange County: Katie's fascinating decision to take on Heather Dubrow (and what defines a proper 'receipt' vs. screenshot), how Tamra may be feeling about the audience reaction to her behavior this season, choosing to side with Alexis/John Janssen as a form of punishment/revenge, Teddi Jo Carrot, and more.

Well, the cat's outta the bag. And a squirrel immediately said, I'm not a cat and this isn't a bag. After watching Teresa's shocking reveal that - oh my god - things and stuff, Sarah decides to quickly attend law school and adjudicate whatever she allegedly witnessed in an episode of The People's People's Court. She unpacks Teresa and Jim/James "my law firm has a website and it's exactly what you'd expect" Leonard's narratives around Marg, line crossing, and Luis' gag order (minus the order), Luis' absolutely not-rehearsed choice to film a devotional toward Teresa, and its similarity to that beach video which has allegedly brought him much undue shame and embarrassment, Teresa's stress levels before going to prison vs. this current chapter in her marriage, Dolo's strategic 8-second delay, and what all of this means for next week's 'shocking' finale ep.
