Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Sarah goes to the Barbie portion of Barbieheimer, and thrilled to see that Greta Gerwig dedicated the film to the cloff. Amazed by such an esteemed and very real tribute, she runs back to the cloffice to deep dive with one of her fave Kens, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the power of women-focused storytelling in cinema aka BravoTV.com, what Bethenny's union organizing needs to include (the Milokksy clause), the impact of Kandi's worldwide cancellation policy on RHOA filming, and the bright, bright light that is Tamra v. Jen and Heather v. Gina. No matter who your spiritual Housewife is, this convo will make top 5 - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 435! Hey Barbie! Hi Ken!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood: when RHOC continues to serve. Sarah watches the new ep and slow jogs - ok, crawls, TYSM back injury acting up - to the cloff. After attempting to order Nobu on Uber Eats (where is the 'leftover food the cast never eats' section and is there a FancyPants promo code?), Sarah Zooms up a Bravoholic pal ready to mention it all: Jackelyn Shultz (producer and podcaster whose credits include the 'Howie Mandel Does Stuff' podcast with her dad, Howie “Future Bravo Viewer” Mandel). They deep dive the impact of reality TV on Housewives marriages (and the expectation of performing happiness on the show and off), Tamra's capacity for loyalty to 'friends' in the cast vs. the show and its audience, Gina's polarizing persona, the myriad ways to define/value/call out a Housewife as problematic, and what parts of the Howie and Lala convo were left on the cutting room floor (hint: it's about Tom). Heather Dubrow may be swiftly on the outs with her cast, but this season is pulling us in -

After continuing to reflect on And Just Like That, Sarah realized she had more to say. And who better to embrace that deep dive than OG of the AG Damian Bellino and Anne Rodeman (co-hosts, "You Might Know Her From"). They discuss whether it's truly possible to separate Sex and the City from the spinoff/reboot, why the show feels like it's been written by an intimacy coordinator, confusion about Miranda (and Cynthia Nixon's) role in the current universe, and Kim Cattrall's triumphant GTFOH press tour.

The RHONY premiere has finally arrived: it's Turtle Time! Inspired by a strong first ep, Sarah runs to the cloff (Jenna Lyons, you are cordially invited) to mention it all with a Zoom kiki for the ages. And of course there was one person with whom she had to deep dive, her date for the RHONY premiere party and a fellow New Yorker dame, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, podcaster, and owner of PipeDreams.fun). They discuss the new energy on RHONY as a re-set for the franchise, the ways fighting about cheese and Catch are a true return to form for cast fighting, the introduction of alliances between Erin v. Brynn, Jessel's Jen Aydin energy, and the complicated dynamics surrounding Lizzie's exit.

Chic c'est la vie? C'est bon, c'est bon! Sarah receives an invite to Bravo's RHONY premiere event at NYC's famed Rainbow Room. And of course, AGs need to friend-of! So post event (with a Lu-style vocal performance, natch) Sarah deep dives interactions with attendees, Andy, and the cast, the decision not to invite the original cast (and the guest she truly cannot process having attended), how to separate new NY from its not-so-distant past (and what Crappie Lake means for other HWs angling for a return to form), and why cast friendship bracelets and true intimacy may develop as so many have before - off camera. It's Turtle Time, unless Sarah takes an edible, in which case, maybe run out the clock - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 432!

Crappie, crappé: no matter how you say it, this show needs to be discussed. So Sarah mentions it all about LuAnn & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake, alongside AG guest co-host, Louis Peitzman. They discuss the connective thread between RHONY past and present, Lu and Sonja's flirting Learning Annex (a true gift to the people), a refreshing change in the definition of Housewives stakes, and the ways that comparison to "The Simple Life" only tells half the story.

Excited for the New Beginning that is this weekend's RHONY premiere, Sarah turns the cloffice into a reboot prayer circle, perfect to process the myriad of feelings transitioning from OG to brand new. Inspired to deep dive this even more, she invites over writer and culture commentator Louis Peitzman. They join hands and discuss a Bravoholic's understanding of the Kübler-Ross model of the five stages of grief, the uncertain future of RHOA casting (and why Sarah lives in a town called Hope), and the ways Tamra Judge has created a world of upside down for the rest of her cast (blessed be).

After reading NJ's casting news on Page Six - the official friend-of on RHONY classic and likely NY new beginnings as well - Sarah realizes the best person to unpack all the latest breaking news (Teresa and Melissa will both return! The Atlanta mid season trailer is out! RHOC is back! And Kyle and Mauricio PS!) is the fabulous face of Page Six, Evan Real (senior tv reporter at Page Six, and co-host of Virtual Reali-tea). They deep dive like never before, unpacking if the Original Sin for Teresa about Melissa joining RHONJ could be potentially resolved, Evan's day with the cast of RHOC (including group side eye about Ryan), the ways betrayal and trauma may have impacted Gina's reaction to Jennifer's emotional affair (and upset around reactions from the rest of the cast), and the missing piece in weighing the impact of an emotional vs. physical affair.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have officially separated after 27 years of marriage: know that. And Sarah has a few things to say, about Allison DuBois' season one prediction, on and off camera whispers about their marriage, and more. The news broke as Sarah was in the midst of recording, so this is truly a processing caught on mic. A historical document, as it were. And, oh yes, also on the episode: Sarah shares what July 4 means for her family (put on your emotional seatbelts, babes), and answers questions about the past, present, and future of Bravo and Housewives, and some personal queries too!

Inspired by Shan's latest foray into theatrical performance, Cirque du Surprise, if you will, Sarah scrambles to find that iconic 70s costume Shan once wore "streaking." Despondent after realizing the cloffice does not, in fact, operate as a Spirit Halloween, she puts on a different role - deep diving all things RHOC with one of her Bravoholic besties, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They discuss what loyalty and trust looks like when filming reality TV, Emily's work to provide an environment of emotional security and stability to her children after a difficult childhood, the characteristics Shannon and Dorinda share (ahem), and another installment of AG Theatre, unpacking the different forms of role play between Heather and Taylor.

When talking "And Just Like That," it feels like a miracle to laugh for an hour: and yet that's exactly what happened during this ep. Sarah is joined by past and future AG guest co-host, Samantha Bush (Betches content manager, multi-hyphenate podcaster, and creator of @BravoHistorian) for a deep dive of their origin connections to "Sex and the City," very differing opinions on the levels of toxic energy from Carrie's past paramours (and behind the scenes drama with Kim), the ways the reboot's energy has been re-set according to current cultural dynamics (most especially conversation), and whether it's possible to separate the legacy of the original show from its current New Beginnings era. Whether you're a Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, or Stanford, this convo has something for everyone. So sayeth the cloff, and the many mutual gasps.

Sarah watches the new ATL ep and is utterly transfixed by Kandi and Shereé's one on one. So, she takes to the cloff for a deep dive on the dynamics around Housewives branding - and self awareness - and the difficulty of trying to monetize a Housewives persona, what the OG luncheon next week means for any potential returns to form (if not the cast), Marlo's difficult ascendance to her full-time role, and WTF is going on with Kyle and Mauricio.

Sarah has discovered many things through her obsession with the fantastic HBO (ahem) comedy series "The Other Two." She's thrilled to be joined in this exploration by AG Classic's guest co-host, writer and Bravoholic Tom Smyth. They discuss the seamless transition many comedic actors have with dramatic work, the sublime experience that is watching Molly Shannon triumph, and the show's 30 Rock-esque pacing. Oh yes, and a top 3 most embarrassing moment Sarah shared during summer theatre with one of the show's leads. They also deep dive Bethenny Frankel's response to being the subject of a joke on another HBO (ahem) series, "And Just Like That." Someone got Carried Away.

Inspired by Orange County's return to form, Sarah runs to the farmer's market to pick up nine lemons and a bowl. She places them where Dr. Moon most approves - the cloffice, natch! - where she's joined by another point of healing energy - and Bravoholic analysis - writer Tom Smyth. They discuss the difficulty navigating and connecting to Marlo v. Kandi amidst a difference in how the storyline engages with time, Tamra's orientation for Jen (and a wink to the audience about what she's prepared to give), and seeing RHONY: New Beginnings through a glass half full or empty perspective (Bethenny says it must include Skinnygirl).

Life is Gucci, you guys. So Gucci, and other youthful words stuff. After watching a *solid* episode - meaningful, even - of RHOA, Sarah is inspired to discuss some questions around Kenya's embryo decision, Marlo's optimistic work on de-escalating, and why Shereé is giving Kyle Richards energy (a compliment! Truly!). She then sits down with Perrie Samotin (Glamour's digital director and host of the podcast "What I Wore When" to discuss Perrie's cover story on Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix, the ways that selection is showing mainstream media about reality TV's influence and value, critiques that Raquel's birth mother is sharing about Ariana (but not Tom), and the gender politics around a woman's rage. Sarah's pumped for an episode celebrating RHOA and VPR, so send it to Darrell, stat - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 425!

Sarah receives a RHONJ-style spoof call, which she immediately answers (maybe it's from WWHL and she's being asked to bartend for Shan). She's met with a moment of breathy silence, before being asked if she wants to buy a stockpile of Fabellini pizza ovens - because who needs a margarita pizza when you can have bellini instead. She politely declines the opportunity, for a different slice of heaven - a 900-hour deep dive with OG of the AG Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and cohost of the podcast "You Might Know Her From.") They settle into the cloffice for a zesty and spirited deep dive of how Pump Rules and RHONJ might adapt to cast members refusing to film with each other, the ways conversation about Teresa often infantilizes her (and why agency is key), and the level of reality vs reality tv behind Marlo v. Kandi and Shan v. Tamra. This episode covers the Housewives triple crown (talking about all three shows currently on tv), and it's good as gold - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 424!

Namaste, bitches. After a wildly cringe third part of the RHONJ finale, Sarah girds her loins for Franklin Lakes' future ahead. The only way to process what happened is to discuss, so Sarah unpacks the reasons the battle between Melissa and Tre doesn't really involve Melissa herself, why John Fuda is America's Sweetheart (apologies to Evan), Luis' concerning activation and why his history seems to align with the current chaos, the true meaning underneath Dolores' STFU response, and why uncertainty around Luis is inhibiting the cast. And yes, a meditative sound bath to restore love and light to RHONJ (and us). Dolores is from Patterson, and you won't forget this deep dive - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 423!

Oh happy day, oh happy day-yyy! Sarah awakes fresh as a daisy, because her favorite flower is in bloom (she's talking about Shan). Thrilled at the opportunity to see fresh confessional looks and seasonal giggles, with equal parts curiosity and inspo about Pump Rules and RHONJ, she invites one of her Bravoholic BFFs over to the cloff to mention it all (someone who braved an orange NYC to schlep to the cloffice, bless him): Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss what Sandoval's response to a lack of control has revealed about his internal life, the complicated dynamics of which truth is believed between Teresa and Melissa, and why Tamra made her triumphant return to OC with more upset towrd Shan than Heather.

There's Something About Her. And her. And her. And her. After watching the much anticipated Vanderpump Rules reunion finale, Sarah realizes there's one way to work through all of the secrets revealed - with an epic Shan-style Core Four special episode: a powerhouse panel that passes the Bechdel test (one of many Sandoval would fail). Justice is SURved with friends-of Kiki Monique aka The Talk of Shame (professional talker, social media journalist and CEO of deep dives), Emily D. Baker (the internet's go-to legal analyst and host of the podcast "The Emily Show"), and Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (Bravo content creator extraordinaire). They discuss Sandoval's love language with Ariana and Raquel (emotional manipulation meets Jerry Maguire), reactions to the "t-shirt" statement currently burned in America's brain, the ways Sandoval and Raquel saw Ariana as a vessel for projection, the complicated connection Raquel made with independence and an affair, responding to critiques around Ariana's successful monetization,

This is a doozy. Sarah is joined by Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches), to unpack the unfortunate series premiere of "The Idol," on Max (there is no HBO to be found amidst this chaos). They discuss the history of the show's troubled production, the ways Sam Levinson and Abel "The Weekend" Tesfaye rejected the show's original premise - and director - as too driven by a woman's perspective, and the difference in execution between "The Idol's" overhauled storyline and Levinson's hit series "Euphoria."
