Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

This isn't even my effing plate! Oh wait, yeah it is, and it's filled with (vegan paleo) pumpkin pie and this delicious special ep! Sarah celebrates Thanksgiving the best way she knows how: by Zooming up three of her fave Bravoholic besties: Katie Mac Burdick (Bravo Betch), Dylan Hafer (Bravo by Betches), and B. Graeter (Petshopboy). They settle into the People's People Couch and unpack their reasons for saying thanks (and holiday wishes - not so fast, RHOC), Mia's chaotic attempt to pull focus (and what Robyn and Gizelle got wrong), and Salt Lake's identity crisis. Pick up nine lemons in a bowl, and make it a holiday spritz - it's an Andy's Girls Thanksgiving, Episode 363!

Sarah hears that the RHONY reboot has already gone through a cast shakeup (a potential record, mere few weeks into filming), and realizes the only way to discuss this breaking news is with Bravoholic C-SPAN: an AG kiki with news and entertainment journalist, and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They settle into the People's People's Zoom Couch and discuss the importance of a critical core 4 (and lessons the new New York could learn from old NJ), the ways friendship history has felt calculated on Salt Lake and organic on Potomac, and Ashley's selective financial acumen. Charisse may require a private bathroom, but this convo is perfect to share - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 362!

Sarah watches a classic episode of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and realizes that while she can also tie a shoe like the best in the biz, what she's really missing out on is hype (and Shahs of Sunset). So she combines both dreams by inviting a new guest over for a Zoom cloffice kiki: writer and content creator The Neighborhood Hype Girl. They mention it all: what Shahs has in common with RHOC and BH, the difference between Ashley's reliance on trust vs information as she navigates her divorce, and the potential for de-escalation between Ashley, Candiace, and Gizelle. Myspace says this episode is in its top 8, which is a joke Sarah insists she's too young to understand - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 361!

Sarah celebrates Bethenny's Housewives pod premiere the best way she knows how: by not listening and forming an opinion regardless (Bethenny would approve!). She Zooms up one of her fave Bethenny translators - who also hasn't listened to B's pod, because #BStrong starts from within - Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the pod Pot Psychology, and owner of pipedreams.fun). They discuss the resentment that has been long-simmering underneath Bethenny's post-Housewives projects, including in her critiques of her former cast, the curse of the third season friendship fracture (which now includes the entirety of the Salt Lake City cast), and the ways Heather is playing opposing roles in her battles with Lisa and Whitney, with mixed results.

Sarah heads to her local polling location, determined to cast her ballot on Candiace vs. Ashley, Gizelle and Robyn vs. Candiace, Dr. Wendy vs. incomplete note pads, and Karen vs. the wind. After voting for NY governor - Bethenny ran uncontested, smh - Sarah Zooms up one of her fave patriotic Bravoholics, Daniel Stokes (culture programs lead at Brex and cohost of the pod "Thots and Prayers"). They discuss the ways Dr. Wendy's on/off camera branding confusion intersects with her Housewives identity, what Candiace's reaction to Ashley's 'reveal' says about her personal growth, and the ever-changing and always prestige relationship storytelling on Married to Med. Gizelle has a storyline, and it's hiding from what Daniel has to say - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 359!

Sarah makes matching friendship bracelets to share with her best friend - Shan, obvs - and pops it in the mail, care of The Quiet Woman. She decides to continue her Celebration of Friendship Day - with more than a few opposing views, as God/Andy Cohen intended - by having a cloffice kiki with OG of the AG Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From"). They discuss whether RHOBH can move on from this season if Rinna stays in the cast, the battle by proxy on Salt Lake, Mia's Drew-esque energy (and creative freedom from facts), and what it means for Bethenny to host a Housewives-themed pod, in light of her "I'm up here" post-Bravo brand. Sarah has thoughts about the youthfulness of the RHONY reboot cast, as an expert in being Spiritually Mid-Twenties Plus - and fellow youth, it's Andy's Girls, Episode 358!

With just a week to go before the midterms, Sarah rushes to the polls (Team Candiace vs. Gizelle, Rinna vs. Humanity, Kyle vs. Kath). She realizes that the importance of voting when one is properly informed, so she immediately Zooms up one of her fave Bravoholic truth tellers, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author, "I Can't Date Jesus" and "I Don't Want to Die Poor"). They discuss the complicated journey watching Rinna act as Kyle's surrogate sister, the selective use of innocence and guilt with friendships on Salt Lake, and the ways Michael is continuing to assert control during his separation from Ashley. If Eric Adams becomes a friend-of on the new RHONY, hopefully he resolves NYC's biggest debate (who is on Legacy and when can we watch) - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 357!

Sarah goes up to the DJ at the Caribou Club and makes a special request that is immediately approved - playing "Survivor" on a 40 year loop, in honor of this season of BH finally coming to an end! Sarah replicates one of Kyle's party splits, during which her lower body holds its series finale. After returning from Urgent Care (also a plea to the production behind RHOBH), she Zooms up one of her Bravo besties, the multi-hyphenate James LaRosa (writer, producer, director, creator, show runner, and close personal friend of whomever Rinna hates most). They discuss the concept of active allyship that Kyle and Kathy seem to have trouble applying to their relationship on reality TV and IRL, silence vs. sisterhood, nefarious intent on Beverly Hills vs. Potomac vs. Salt Lake City, and why some Housewives are choosing alliances with bad actors vs. the truth. You could call BH Season 12 "Survivor: Blood vs. Water," but regardless, it's on appeal for legal reasons - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 356! JOIN/LEVEL UP TO TH

Sarah realizes this ep should take inspo from an iconic moment from Potomac, so she immediately calls Eric to the cloff so they can break the fourth wall. Unfortunately, he doesn't answer (and honestly the cloffice walls are kinda hard to break), so she makes an even better call - Zooming up the President of the Real Housewives Institute, and Sarah's religious deity in the world of Bravo writing, Brian Moylan (President and Founder of the Real Housewives Institute, and author of the New York Times bestseller, "The Housewives: The Real Story Behind The Real Housewives"). They discuss the differences between friendship value systems on Potomac vs Beverly Hills, Candiace's Meghan King Edmonds energy, and the differences in how the network responded to Teresa's guilty plea vs Bravo's potential plans for Jen Shah (let alone the reactions from their respective casts).

Welcome to the AG C-SPAN spectacular, because Rinna is losing her mind online (as opposed to any other day of the week). Sarah spots a widely inappropriate IG story that Rinna posted about Kyle and Paris, and immediately Zooms up her spiritual gummy, and a guide through the madness, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They unpack Rinna's manipulation of Paris' trauma in order to shame Kathy (apparently other children are not off-limits, unlike Rinna's own), Kyle's problematic description of "clean" microaggressions in her conversation with Crystal, and the ways Candiace's powerful fourth wall breaking on Potomac is miles above the storytelling on Bev Hills. The word "evil" is used, let's wait for the Fox Force to stop screaming in shock - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 354!

It's been a weekend of highs (Sarah finally met a certain future husband) and lows (the wedding has not yet taken place), and after 3 full days at BravoCon, she is ready to mention it all! So Sarah invites over her Bravo bestie and fellow BravoCon attendee, and someone who knows a thing or two about mentioning it all, Dylan Hafer (content manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss panel MVPs, the sometimes-fraught audience Q&As, viral BH panel chaos (LOL), WWHL's Legends Ball, and overall roses and thorns. BravoCon may be over, but Sarah's heart (and iPhone storage) are filled with love, love, love - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 353!

It's Bravocon weekend (!!), so Sarah preps for the journey to the motherland the best way she knows how: by Zooming up an expert in the fine art of Bravoholic Expressionism, Emerson Collins (actor, producer, nonprofit director, and former cast member on "The People's Couch"). Hot off the Beverly Hills reunion, they discuss remaining questions around what actually happened between Sutton and Crystal, the disconnection in a cast framework of crediting Dorit for courageously protecting her children during a violent act and judging/'correcting' Garcelle and Jax's responses to death threats he received, and why Kyle should consider retiring from her volunteer position as Diana's intention translator. Sarah may have gotten spiritual hives from BH, but luckily Potomac and Salt Lake are the perfect antidote (as might this deep dive) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 352!

Sarah downs a few mini tacos - likely not meant for human consumption - after opening the invite for Karen's Spring into Spring Kickoff/Celebration of Life Taco Party Event Because Let's Have Some FabFitFunBox-y Times OK Great, and celebrates the Potomac premiere the best way she knows how - with a supersized AG event! First, she invites one of her fave guest co-hosts over to the cloff: Erica Cobb (co-host Daily Blast Live, and host of 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' avail on Ebony Podcast Network). They explore the Wikipedia energy Rinna is using to define the extensive and complex relationship between Kathy and Kyle (bcc: Kim), and an empathetic approach to understanding Meredith's upset on Salt Lake (and the ways Jen seems to factor into multiple gossip-as-fact 'reveals'). Sarah also unpacks the Potomac premiere, including the continuing complications in Ashley and Michael's relationship, and why he seemingly relishes in breaking boundaries and maintaining control. Potomac is back, and so is the elusive chante

Turns out the High Holy Days were extended this year, because the RHOBH finale truly renewed Sarah's franchise faith. So she Zooms up her fave spiritual advisor for another important religious holiday (AG's 350th ep!): James LaRosa (writer, producer, director, creator, show runner, and Lisa Rinna's current/future nemesis). They explore the finale's Big Clue Energy on many fronts: the impact of Kyle's active opposition to the Fox Force company line, the cast's struggle between relevancy and truth, and a shocking editing decision/blunder that showed/disappeared a smoking gun reveal. Beverly Hills gave extra razzle dazzle, and so does this deep dive - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 350!

Sarah gets a sign from above -- BravoTV.com -- that RHOBH needs, née, requires, the deepest possible dive. So she Zooms up on of her fave anthropologists of Housewifery, Fran Tirado (writer, tv/film maker, and host of the pod "Like a Virgin!"). They pour some spiritual Casa Del Sol and have a nuanced kiki about the ways Rinna capitalized on the longstanding fractures between Kathy, Kyle, and Kim, the reasons capitalism may have played a friend-of role in Aspen's aftermath (and different takeaways about the Big Scene), and Meredith's changed views on handling friendship accountability with empathy vs revenge. Fran can't tell Kendall or Kylie apart, but this convo stands out from the rest - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 349!

Forget Christmas in July, it's Thanksgiving in late September. Sarah delights in the present Bravo has given its community - née, the world - a fantastic premiere ep of RHOSLC. So she Zooms up another gift, her Bravo pal Ryan Bailey (podcaster, "So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey" and "What The Kids Are Watching"), to compare and contrast Lisa B and Kathy's 'private' breakdowns with Meredith and Rinna's public response, Rinna's obfuscating work with Kathy (and why Kyle's belated push for a truce may have inspired the opposite), and an epic chapter of AG Theatre looking back at Bethenny's Miami meltdown. It's International Podcast Day, and this convo gets a star on the cal - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 348!

Put down the apples and honey, let's toast the new year right (with Vida tequila and a side of diet coke -- 44oz, easy ice, with lemon, natch). Today's a special ep, in honor of this week’s Salt Lake City season premiere: a chat Sarah and OG of the AG Damian Bellino shared with RHOSLC Lisa Barlow during June's AG Live online show. They discuss Lisa's pre-Housewives work with Bethenny Frankel and Kyle Richards, what Heather got wrong about Lisa's viral "miserable f**ks" tweet, and why the alliance of Heather/Jen/Meredith is so surprising. Yes, Sarah screeches when John Barlow says hi, it's the only sensible reaction - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 347!

Sarah rents Being John Malkovich and imagines a time, a place, a possibility of exploring what went through Rinna's mind from the moment "conga" was suggested through the rest of the night. Despondent that tickets seem to be sold out (much like Rinna herself), she finds answers elsewhere - by having one of her fave guests, comedian and writer Alison Leiby, back to the cloff! They discuss Alison's casting suggestion for the RHONY reboot (a Summer House graduation), Kyle's performative relatability, and whether or not Dorit is more of a 'true believer' about Erika's motivations and behavior than Rinna. PK may not love this ep, but Sarah loves him regardless - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 346!

Sarah awakens from a nightmare, where she was trapped underneath the bunk beds at Kyle's Aspen house listening to Lisa Rinna record a voice memo monologue about The Last Night in Aspen (like "Before Midnight," but endless and without artistic merit). She realizes the best solution to a bad night's sleep is a dream ep - recording AG IRL in the cloffice with OG of the AG Damian Bellino (writer, producer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From"). They discuss the value system of sisterhood vs strategy between Kyle, Kathy, and Rinna, how to decipher meaning and intention behind endless conspiracy theories about what actually occurred, and what this means for the reunion (let alone the future of the cast). How low can the Aspen aftermath go, we don't yet know - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 345!

Sarah watches this week's RHOBH and realizes -- an episode from Season 12 that feels like classic Housewives storytelling? It's a Hanukkah in September miracle! So she lights a cloffice menorah (the propofol candle from Dr. Tiffany Moon), and invites over a Bravoholic with a gift for unpacking plot, Ryan Bloomquist (actor, author, and audience member during Erika Jayne's "Chicago" Broadway run). They discuss the difficulties navigating humility for Erika Jayne and Lea Michele, the difference in how Kyle expresses anger toward her 'spiritual' sister Dorit vs her actual sister, Kathy, and Erika and Rinna's vested interest in exacerbating whatever comes next week. Just like Hanukkah, Sarah will stretch this one solid BH S12 ep into at least 8 hours of sass - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 344 JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirls Follow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/ Learn more about your ad
