Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

"Everything Everywhere All at Once." The name of an Academy Award-winning film, and an apt descriptor for the wild, complicated, fascinating reunion finale to this season of Salt Lake. Sarah deep dives it all: the breaking news that Monica is "on pause" from the show, her missed opportunity/strategy to open up about Reality Von Tease as a Housewife and not troll account, Heather's explanation for her eye (and the communal experience of experiencing trauma at the hands of Jen Shah), inconsistencies around grace for Monica/Heather's external reactions to Jen's behavior (and their reactions around accountability/shame), and what the future of SLC and Housewives holds, on social and IRL. This episode's theme song should be "Something to Talk About" - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 499.986765!

Obvious spoiler alert, beep beep. Sarah watches the first four eps of The Traitors and floats to heaven above, where she meets up with AG guest co-host Richie Skye (news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert). They discuss a surprising cast exit, the ways Housewives and Bravolebs are particularly well suited for personality politics/relationship stewardship (and why Bravo-based reality TV has been held against them by the rest of the cast), Phaedra’s stunning monologue to Parvati (a historic serve), their ideal picks for Traitors S3, and, of course, casket/coffin culture.

Sarah watches the newest BH and immediately calls her local anesthesiologist, begging for any possible solution to sleep during scenes with Annemarie. After being told that 'skipping ahead' is the best prescription, she instead girds her loins, buckles in, and Zooms up the cure for what ails her, Richie Style (news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert). They settle in to spiritual triage, and discuss the discrepancies in Kyle's thoughts about Mauricio and their marriage, Erika's press-specific shade, Annemarie's 'role' in continuously fighting about Sutton's esophagus, Monica and Dorit's futures onscreen, and Richie's casting recommendations for Atlanta. Don't tell Kim and Kroy that they've been referenced in the same sentence, or heaven forbid they will continue to mention it all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 499 and three quarters!

Sarah goes to St. Patrick's Cathedral to light a candle for this season of Salt Lake (almost gone, but not forgotten). Inspired by the first snowfall to hit NYC in what feels like decades, she builds herself a snow-set (a better job than that shipwreck, and easier to melt) and discusses the latest reveals about Monica's relationship with her mom (and what LD Millionaire shared on Twitter as the reunion aired), Mary's surprising advocacy against faking an orgasm (#wesupportotherwomen), the ways Whitney delivered in discussing Jack's mission and her tension with Heather, and yes, the profound vulnerability shared on Potomac this week about surviving sexual violence. Monica has sent so many voice notes she fill several podcast eps (which is...probably coming) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 499.5!

Sarah watches the new BH and cries a river. A literal river. A river runs through it, except instead of seeing Brad Pitt and Tom Skeritt paddle by or whatever (who has actually seen this movie? Oh, many people? Ok), she dries her tears and Zooms up a member of the AG framily, content creator and host of the new pod "High & Low," Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They deep dive the nuanced and beautiful ways Kyle, Sutton, and Garcelle unpacked individual journeys with grief, the human equivalent of a blood pressure test that is Anna/Anne-Marie, PK's understanding of how Dorit should translate her PTSD (and a possible reason for his confessional barbs), and some hot takes after BBDB revisited the last 10 episodes of Salt Lake (that's right! She just re-watched the last 10, blessed be). Sarah gets verklempt, screechy, and talks once again about that veggie taco, so consider this convo its own holy trinity - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 499! Content warning: this episode includes conversation about suicide and eating

Sarah prays to Archangel Michael, to deliver upon us a reunion worthy of its own surprise deep dive. And lo, Mikey came through. So Sarah runs to the cloffice, out of breath from cardio/strength training (watching the reunion and not immediately booking a flight to Salt Lake), where she discusses Monica's confusing and inconsistent IDGAF strategy, Angie K's reunion reveal (a truly mesmerizing tissue), Lisa Barlow's stellar performance, and ever-evolving opinions after some secret (footage) revealed. Monica sent an email in November 2021 that this was her all-time fave convo - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 498!

Sarah watches the new episode of Potomac and wonders if those evil geniuses over at AI HQ can create a Karen Huger only edit for Peacock. Thinking about the Pickleball Queen (whose triple 20s is very reminiscent of a "spiritual mid-twenties-plus mentality, natch), she zooms up another absolute delight, Bravoholic and New York Times bestselling author, Michael Arceneaux ("I Can't Date Jesus," "I Don't Want to Die Poor," and the upcoming "I Finally Bought Some Jordans"). They discuss the difference between respecting your villains and co-signing their behavior (ahem, Monica), how to view the cast reactions to Monica's trolling vs. Jen's indictments/guilty plea, the breakup of the Tres Amigas (and how Shannon and Tamra's fallout will impact her journey once filming begins), Ashley's refusal to see Candiace's hurt underneath her upset, Sonja's punchline on UGT and IRL, and Dorit's, ahem, theatrical tour. Sarah finally needs to buy some Jordans, so please join the Patreon while she googles "laces, pink" - it's And

Still flying high after the impeccable SLC finale (sidebar someone please create a GoFundMe: Bermuda so that Sarah can trace the steps to such a historic episode, like a ghost tour), Sarah realizes the only way to process what happened during the ep - and since - is a cloff kiki with her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They sip some spiritual Vida (water, natch), and discuss the difference in how cast members have evaded truth on Housewives, Sarah's a-ha moment about the boutique shopping scene (and whether or not an adjusted timeline of when Heather found out impacts a review of her finale performance), Monica's future Monica'ing, Guerdy's impactful and emotional cancer journey (and how the cast has done her a disservice), Kim Richards' role as a caregiver and emotional vulnerability guide, and some, well, deep thoughts on the Garcelle and Dorit mishegoss. Life is a journey, and so is this

Paging Dr. Simone, Dr. Jackie (more on that on this ep), Toya, and...Quad? Sarah is joined by AG guest co-host Erica Cobb (co-host Daily Blast Live and NAACP Awards nominated host, "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show) to discuss Sarah's #1 favorite show on Bravo, the iconic Married to Medicine. They have a nuanced and spirited convo about how the cast (and production) treated Quad this season, and whether it makes sense for her to return, the complicated dynamics in discussing Dr. Jackie's historic convo with VP Harris in light of a now-viral video from 2020 (and Erica's thoughts on Dr. Jackie's response), and why Erica believes the show is currently facing "stormy weather."

There are certain moments in American history that stand out. When the presidential vote in 2000 was decided by the Supreme Court. When Jlo inspired the creation of Google Image with a certain Versace dress. And when Monica joined her friend circle for a dinner tribunal, one night in Bermuda. Sarah is witness to this most recent, shocking event, one that has changed our nation and several others, forevermore. She discusses the moment that truly took her out (#BlondeAmbitionTour), what Monica and Danna shared in an IG Live immediately following the episode airing about Jen Shah's role in Heather's eye, why the BravoCon panel decision now makes complete sense, questions Heather may have to answer at the reunion about NBC/Universal HR, and the difficulty in comparing/equalizing the toxicity between Monica and Jen.

Sarah greets the New Year in a fit of cackles (thanks, John Mayor, Anderson, Andy, and some feline friends). Inspired to start 2024 off right, she Zooms up one of her fave Bravoholic pals, prepared to mention it all: Erica Cobb (co-host Daily Blast Live and NAACP Awards nominated host, "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show). They discuss Erica's adventure at Kathy Hilton's Christmas party, the sliding doors effect on RHOBH, deciding what to disclose about romantic partnerships, the missing piece of Dorit's storyline, why Michael Darby is at least partially to blame for Potomac's lackluster season, and the difficulty in unpacking the Richards sister dynamics.

Sarah can't start 2024's new beginnings without mentioning it all about 2023. This countdown includes her personal picks (backed by science) of moments big and small from Bravo, from the Scandoval (heard of it?) to Lisa Hochstein's Honda trial run, Kristen Taekman's big toe, Monica's content creation, AG moments, and Bethenny's reality reckoning wreck.

Sarah watches the newest SLC and immediately Googles "where can I buy Heather Gay's book or maybe just the Whitney excerpt and also PS BTW what are books and do they come with Peacock." Concerned by her search results (sweetie), she realizes the best way to process Salt Lake is with one of her fave writer girls, Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer, formerly at Spotify, Decider, and more). They do an Angie K-style trot to the cloffice, where they discuss Meredith's responses to conflict (and the difference in being centered on disengaging vs. processing), Lea's definition of a "shady" Housewife and which Bravoleb deserves the title, Monica's future on the show (and the cast's refusal to move forward with her), and yes, a reading of the very Bad Mormon excerpt that seemingly inspired so much contention from Whitney to Heather.

Sarah is joined by guest co-host Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer, formerly at Spotify, Decider, and more) to discuss the effervescent joy and delight that is this season of Southern Charm. They have a spirited debate about what it means to be "good" when it comes to Austen and Shep, what Vanderpump Rules and Southern Charm have taught us about the ways women view friendship betrayal when their partners/exes cheat, Craig Conover, America's Sweetheart, JT, Le Petit Prince, Taylor's ill-advised attempt to connect with Olivia by referencing her brother, and their picks for best dressed reunion looks.

Shiver me timbers: RHONY Legacy Tropics Girl's Trip Legacy is finally here, and of course Sarah and AG guest co-host Ben Rimalower have to mention it all. They discuss Ben's love for the current season (and why it's his fave UGT yet!), an Addams Family flavor to the cast roles, the differences in how Kelly and Kristen view the framework of UGT vs. Housewives trips, how Kelly views Scary Island and herself, whether Sonja in the city will finally include a sold townhouse, Ramona's future on the network (lol) and also ya know, if Zarin Fabrics can be woven back in, and the TBD status of UGT: Morocco.

Just call this a slay ride, ammiright. Sarah awakens on Christmas Eve Eve Eve, and realizes the greatest gift Santa/Hanukkah Harry could bring is a *spirited* AG double ep. So she invites one of her fave presents over to the North Pole of the UES also known as Yorkville, Ben Rimalower (writer, performer, and most recently director of Countess and Friends). They put some menorah themed stockings on a cloffice wall, and deep dive the ways reality TV can impact a Housewife's disconnection from their own reality, the difficulty of feeling one must compete against a previous season's storyline/stakes, opining on Denise's behavior at the dinner party from hell, and some, shall we say, spirited debate about Kyle, Kyle v. Mauricio, Ben v. Sutton, and Ben v. Sarah v. Sutton v. the greater unknown. Mrs. Clause says she's the Kathy of her family, and don't you forget it - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 491!

Sarah sees Dorit's IG response to her scene with Garcelle and rolls her eyes so far that the cloffice suggests she make an appointment with her optometrist. Sarah realizes the next best counsel is Kiki'ing with a Bravoholic pal who has 20/20 vision about BH and SLC: Evan Real (senior TV reporter, PageSix.com, and co-host of Virtual Reali-tea). They discuss concern and confusion over Dorit's double down on Instagram, the ways removing nuances can complicate understanding Garcelle's perspective, whether the cast is mimicking some of Rinna’s behavior in her stead, reactions to the Salt Lake finale trailer, Monica's unpaid internship at the Jen Shah school of practical magic, Whitney's upset toward Heather about Bad Mormon, and the reasons Lisa and Meredith's selfie sass is at the core of what many viewers like most on Housewives.

Sarah does some winter cleaning in the cloffice (gotta get those skeletons out of the closet, and pitch a show to Peacock), and realizes cleanliness is next to godliness, and there's nothing holier than hearing about an extremely VIP creator meet-up with a Bev Hill OG. So she Zooms up a Bravoholic pal (and fellow Shan Stan) who just attended an intimate hotel kiki with Kyle Richards, content creator Julian Hagins. They discuss Julian's experience watching the most recent (very Kyle-heavy) episode of BH next to Kyle herself, the comments she had about Sutton and Garcelle as she reacted to what came out onscreen (and the moment Sarah is shaken that was missed), the complicated and nuanced journey of finding a new safe space (and the difficulty of rejecting relationships of obligation with family when obligated to 'befriend' a filmed circle of friends), similarities in Robyn's difficulty finding a place to be vulnerable when Juan (and Mauricio) are not avail, what the future of Potomac might look like without a

Sarah Google Images "Angie K sunglasses" in order to save an iconic alternate wallpaper for her phone (Pedro Pascal is shaking), and realizes the only thing more iconic - ok, equally iconic - would be inviting her Bravoholic pal Petshopboy aka B. Graeter (host of the podcast "The B List") to the cloffice for a true Epcot-style Bravo deep dive (they're going around the franchises in 70 minutes). They discuss which Housewife they'd want to represent them in Congress, Potomac's identity shift, a surprising lack of stakes in questioning Robyn's relationship, the underground community of OG Angie K. stans, Anna-Annemarie's pride over her scoreboard remationship (and wildly inappropriate interpretation of Sutton's esophagus condition as an ED), shared confusion over next season's Jackie/Marg feud, and whether Miami passes the Bechdel test.

Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. With the second part of The Crown's final season upon us, Sarah has to unpack the first. So she sits down with her pal, writer Tom Smyth, to deep dive Peter Morgan's origin story (The Queen), the difference in connection/observation on The Queen vs The Crown, the decision to use Diana/Dodi ghosts for storytelling (and the cost of attempting to bring creative closure), and the audience's own unique 'ownership' over how the Firm is portrayed.
