Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Sarah reads Diana's viral-in-all-the-worst-ways "Dear Garcelle" post on IG and immediately goes to her safe space (carbs and Hulu Plus). Feeling a spiritual triage is in order, she Zooms up one of her fave truth tellers and Bravoholics, a 4-time Olympian in mentioning it all, Erica Cobb (co-host, Daily Blast Live, host, 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' available on Ebony Podcast Network). They explore what's really behind Diana's deep seated anger against Garcelle, Lisa Rinna's inflexibility of thought, and what Dorinda's 'banana bread muffin with a dash of sadism' brunch says about her instinct to punish when she reacts.

Sarah puts on a knitted pussy hat she purloined from Carole's mom at the DC Women's March (what, they were all aglow with lady patriotism, and Sarah wanted RHONY swag), and decides a Bechdel test-approved episode is most certainly in order. So she Zooms up a writer girl featured on last week's BH, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the podcast Pot Psychology, proprietor of pipedreams.fun, and bee/cucumber truther). They discuss the ways that alcohol has been used as an invitation to escalate on Girl's Trip and underplay on Bev Hills, a coastal war over Housewife intellectual acumen, and Tracie's continued confusion over Diana's 'coffee table book' years after her viral Jezebel piece.

Sarah wakes up to another day in hell aka America aka seasons 15 and 13 of OC and NY. She turns to the only safe space that will distract her from the news cycle: the new season of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex Wives Club (it rolls off the tongue!). She Zooms up one of her Bravo besties, the multi-hyphenate James LaRosa (creator, writer, director, show runner, and ultimate truth teller about what to do when Vicki says "hi"), for a wide ranging convo about RHUGT, including whether being challenged is Dorinda's ultimate trigger, Brandi's unwillingness to choose personal growth, and the cancel culture that surrounds Sarah's reaction to Jill's Scary Island-inspired entry to the show. Run to the Bravo women fundraiser for Planned Parenthood on Sarah's IG, and hope not to bump into any Housewives in the wild en route - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 231!

It's Pride Month, and there's no better way to celebrate than asking one of Sarah's Bravo besties, journalist and drag queen Ryan Houlihan, over to her rainbow-colored cloffice, where the LGBTQIA+ and ally communities meet weekly to bemoan the entirety of Lisa Rinna (bringing people together! It's what she's known for best).

Sarah watches the new BH and realizes the entire ep is based on the beginning of a Jeopardy response: "who is/what is/where am I." Completely flustered by a confluence of inconsistency that is now leading to chaos, she immediately invites one of her fave Bravoholic/workaholic pals to the cloffice, Christine Biancavilla, for a deep dive of who/what/where/when/why. They explore the intention behind Crystal's apology, why some cast members get the benefit of the doubt while others do not, and Erika's warped sense of "girl power."

Sarah films a 15-min Youtube influencer-style apology, atoning to RHOA for not giving it the PROPER POD TIME it DESERVES. She shows her appreciation the best way she knows how, by inviting one of Marlo's sassiest superfans over to the cloffice, Gibson Johns (host of In The Know's podcast "We Should Talk"). They discuss whether or not Marlo is referencing second season curse energies in her tension with Kandi and Kenya, how Sheree's relationship with Tyrone speaks to the larger question around boundaries and power in unbalanced dating dynamics, and what the reunion may reveal about Ralph (if he shows up). Sarah reveals the Housewife special guest joining AG Live's virtual livestreaming event, and let's just say this baby is gorgeous - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 318! $15 TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR ANDY'S GIRLS: LIVE FROM THE CLOFFICE, AG's first-ever virtual show, on Thursday, 6/23, at 8:30pm EST.

Sarah discovers that Bravo has announced a new show about young Americans in Paris, and immediately begins a one-woman-strike of Bravo content (c'est lol) to secure a role on S2, until she realizes that the second best impact is to, ya know, double down on RHOBH. So she Zooms up a Bravo pal with a French-sounding handle (c'est bon c'est bon!), Priscilla from @BonjourBitchesBlog and the merch shop @feministcringe. They unpack the ways that social media, WWHL reveals, and alliances are impacting and confusing on-camera storylines, the tension between potentially ignoring problematic behavior and potentially hiding problematic footage, and the secondhand embarrassment of Erika's ongoing attempts to paint herself as a victim of Sutton's honesty. Bravo likely has the footage that would put Tahoe-gate to rest, and it's prob locked in the same production closet as that boat ride in Cartagena - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 317! $15 TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR ANDY'S GIRLS: LIVE FROM THE CLOFFICE, AG's first-ever virtual sh

Order in the Court! (not so quickly, Kam). Sarah invites one of her fave social media journalists to adjudicate a wild week of Housewives for the People's People's Court, none other than Kiki Monique aka @TheTalkofShame (professional talker, CEO of deep dives, and host of the podcast I'm Sorry with Lemonada Media). They pregame their hopes about covering Jen Shah's upcoming...federal spinoff, and explore getting to the root of mistrust and adultery on Housewives, and whether reality tv can push forth radical honesty, the ways Drew's business model may be closer to Sonja Morgan's toasters than All In, and the reasons Teddi has replaced Danielle as Sarah's #1 Housewives trigger (a baby carrot minus the carrot, need she say more/absolutely). Sarah can think of a few four letter words to encapsulate the Fox Force, and they're not what Crystal has said - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 316! $15 TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR ANDY'S GIRLS: LIVE FROM THE CLOFFICE, AG's first-ever virtual show, on Thursday, 6/23, at 8:30pm EST.

Hot off the heels of Dubai's scorching premiere, Sarah cools off the best way she knows how: by Amazon Priming a $12 ice cub tray she'll throw in her shower (just like the new Real Housewives!), and inviting one of her Bravo besties over to the cloff: The Caroline Brooks to her Caroline Stanbury (aka also Caroline Brooks), Dylan Hafer (manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pods Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They throw on some sunglasses indoors, and explore Dylan's reaction to the choice of Dubai as a LGBTQ content creator, Erika's false equivalency of 'bad friendship' according to herself vs Sutton, and the multifaceted and complicated reaction to "problematic" storylines. Sarah's got a big announcement at the end of the ep, so consider these show notes a Bravo-style "to be continued" - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 315! $15 TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR ANDY'S GIRLS: LIVE FROM THE CLOFFICE, AG's first-ever virtual show, on Thursday, 6/23, at 8:30pm EST.

Sarah continues to convalesce from her medical mishigoss the best way she knows how: by Google Imaging SUR's goat cheese balls (see, things could always be worse!), and Zooming up one of her fave content creators, a spiritual PhD in all things RHOBH, @BravoBravoDuckingBravo. They explore Bravo's inconsistent history of casting research (and what, if anything, Jenny's social media has done to shift a Housewife's interview process), the sensitive nature discussing Dubai's franchise location pick, and what Lisa Rinna appears to gets right about seeking excitement from doing harm (super villains united, says Erika Jayne). Rinna may 'own it,' but it would be great if someone would return it back now and again - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 314!

It's an Andy's Girls triage episode spectacular! Sarah nearly dies (and no, not just because tickets aren't yet on sale for Bravocon) and celebrates the second coming of pulsating sass the best way she knows how - by Zooming up one of her Bravo BFFs, news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They explore the disconcerting future of Beverly Hills friendships thanks to an overwhelming Fox Force, why Erika Jayne's play for victimhood against Sutton is a race to the bottom of the entertainment barrel, and what Kyle gets wrong about empathy (and age). Sarah says to call 911 only in an emergency, like to ask when she's going to bartend on WWHL - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 313!

Sarah buys a table at Elton John's favorite Starbucks on La Brea (what? that's not the same thing as seats at a gala?), and messages Lisa and Harry to fill two seats. After being informed Rinna already reserved standing-room-only at the Dunkin Donuts in Brentwood, Sarah calls up one of her fave venti spillers of tea, a man who loves to share his AG Q2 quarterly report, Emerson Collins (actor, producer, director, and star of "The People's Couch"). They Zoom-sit on the People's People's Couch and explore Teresa's inability to process forgiveness as anything but as a sign of weakness, the hypocrisy surrounding Kyle and Sutton's conversation about empathy for Dorit, and Erika's misdirected rage. Diana says she's nouveau riche, and Sarah would love to be nouveau breaking even - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 312!

It's time to really focus on healing the environment - the one in Franklin Lakes. So Sarah eye rolls past Chekhov's Cherry Orchard, throws The Giving Tree in the trash, and Zooms up one of her fave seedlingTre Huggers, Christian Gray Snow (host of the Slut Pig podcast and owner of the Slut Pig Shop on Etsy) for a Giudice-style Google Translate. They discuss a sociological study of Tre standom, valuing conflict engagement vs personal high-stakes storylines, and the differences between a Househusband's passive discomfort with production vs active disinterest in marriage (paging Lenny Hochstein).

Sarah feels an extra jolt of energy after another season upon us (stfu spring/summer, she means RHOBH!). In celebration, Sarah buys a child's admission ticket (Ageless by Ramona, ammiright) to the Real Housewives Institute, in order to mention it all with its founder and president (and New York Times bestselling author) Brian Moylan. Just a couple of dames, disagreeing about Erika Jayne.

Sarah hops in one of Chris Manzo's dancer/car wash Uber Pools and heads to the Brownstone for turtle time with a dame who appreciates the fine art of Mafioso-style Housewives whose horoscope is extra leopard, tv writer Alex Zaragoza. They discuss the connection between family boundaries and communication incapability on NJ and Atlanta, the lessons Ralph and Drew could learn about choosing their marriage over (inappropriate relationships with) friends from an iconic reunion on Married to Med, and the difficult ways reality tv can weaponize vulnerability as ‘a price of admission.’ Sarah may not be into financial literacy, but that's just because she's watched a lot of Bev Hills - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 309!

Inspired by one of the greatest dance songs in the Housewives canon -obviously, it can be none other than "I'm Real" by spiritual EGOT Simon van Kempen - Sarah Zooms up one of her fave Housewives reporters - of truth and sass - Evan Real, senior tv reporter at PageSix.com. They discuss the difference between respecting the legacy of NY Housewives and creating fresh content, the impact of a patriarchal structure in how Teresa views Melissa and her future sisters-in-law, and Teresa's struggle to understand self-determination when it involves opinions different from her own.

Sarah watches the effervescent Atlanta season premiere, and celebrates what looks like a fantastic season the best way she knows how - by sending Marlo's billionaire beau a 9 bajillion Venmo request, and using a portion of the funds to buy Marlo a company name that works in French. She realizes she has a few bajillion left to spare, and flies herself on Louie's (imaginary) tantrum PJ to Zoom in the clouds with one of her fave return guests, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times best-selling author of "I Can't Date Jesus" and its follow-up "I Don't Want to Die Poor." They discuss the job of an editor versus therapist when it comes to Teresa's explosive defensiveness, whether Kenya has passed the 'villain' baton to Marlo (and why Sanya's winning the race of being a terrific addition to the cast), and the difference between present vs past tense with regard to how Marlo vs Sonja present wealth. Sarah forgets the names of both Carmela Soprano and RHONY Legacy during this convo, and will therefore leave her certificat

Sarah (allegedly) watches part 2 of the OC reunion and thinks, ya know what I need right now, more than anything? Entertainment! Tonight! So she settles into the cloffice and Zooms up her fave Bravoholic from ET HQ, Brice Sander. They explore questions of emotional capacity that Erika Jayne and Teresa may share, the psychology behind Housewife fandoms (and why it's so often connected with a need for validation from their favored star), the difficulty when nuances are removed from "good vs evil" Housewife archetypes, and why Noella is a prime example of why the riskiest casting decision might be a Housewife who doesn't know who she is. Brice shares inside scoop on the BH premiere, and much like Erika's crisis comms team, Sarah's mouth is still ajar - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 306!

They discuss the influence Heather and Teresa have over production (and why one is winning the edit battle while the other quasi-flails), the differences between Teresa and Nene's disconnections from their respective casts, and whether Marg has regret for considering Teresa a woman capable of friendship trust.
