Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

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. Taank Tops and Stangies, this ep is for you -...

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). The...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 creat...

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). Th...

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 attem...

Gird your loins and embrace a world of chaos, because this episode covers the gamut. Sarah realizes that in order to move forward in storytelling for BH, she needs to take a step back, and have a 5-minute (90-minute) friendly (yelling) cloffice peace accord (cage match) about, you guessed it, Kyle. So she Zooms up friend of the pod and enemy of Kyle and possibly German Shepards everywhere, content...

Sarah orders a pink feather jacket she intends to wear upside down, just as the good lord intended (blessed be, Denise). After setting a tablescape for her own dinner party from hell (a Hanukkah dinner without latkes? For shame), she Zooms up a heavenly guest: Jackelyn Shultz (producer and podcaster, "Howie Mandel Does Stuff," featuring her dad). They deep dive whether or not Denise's upset toward...

Paging Dr. Heavenly, Dr. Simone, Dr. Jackie, maybe Quad. Sarah watches the new Married to Med, and immediately searches ZocDoc to see if Dr. Heavenly can take a consultation over Zoom. Undeterred by an "Lol" response, she fills a prescription for a deep dive, joined by Gibson Johns (host of the new pod "Gabbing with Gib"). They settle in for a Married to Med and Potomac deep dive, and discuss the...

Will you accept this rosé? Sarah realizes the best way to celebrate happy hour (her 19th re-watch of the dinner party from hell, part trois), is to Zoom up someone who can definitely mention it all: fellow Bravoholic, and BravoCon MVP, Rachel Lindsay (media personality, author, attorney, co-host of the pods Higher Learning and Morally Corrupt, and the first Black lead in franchise history on ABC's...

Sarah applies to be a cater waiter in order to be in the room where it happens: the dinner party from hell, part 3 (a not-so-holy trinity). After being told by the hot pot chefs that her ability to balance conversation is less important than carrying some plates, she realizes she'd rather serve a great convo instead of some shards of Hermes china. So, she invites over one of her fave dinner convo...

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first Housewives practice to deceive. Beginning with: pickleball is a thing. And also, ya know, marital strife, friends on the outs, and possibly misrepresenting close relationships. Sarah reflects on the glorious current generation of Housewives (and the difficulty in picking her overall top pick), and realizes the best way to deep dive is with one of her fave...

Sarah gathers her family around the Thanksgiving table, and says a blessing over her life's most treasured gifts (Chris Manzo, Pedro Pascal, Dr. Simone, Garcelle's parenting, and the cloffice). After indulging in some 'delicious' GF vegan treats, she invites over another special gift - a deep dive of all things Housewives with return guest Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ru...

This season of Southern Charm is truly a Thanksgiving gift - so how better to accompany some gluten free vegan paleo stuffing (....), or cookin dat turkey, or watching the balloons meander down Central Park South, than with this deep dive ep of TIP. Sarah is joined by her pal, a fellow member of Pillow Talk nation, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the podcast Ruined). They deep dive...

After a weekend-long slumber (Sleeping Beauty needs to give her cackle a break), Sarah awakens to the realization that this is, in fact, Thanksgiving week - and the new Potomac was anything but a turkey. So she invites over one of her Bravoholic besties to the cloff: Tom Smyth (Vulture blogger and writer, whose credits include Vogue, the Cut, and the LA Times). They order takeout from Oz (who need...

After a magical week in LA, and a cough-heavy return to NY, Sarah realizes the prescription she needs most is not a 25 second electronic bull ride at a Las Vegas dive, but a cough and cackle 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 mention it all: relationship intimacy awkwa...

Sarah wraps up her week in LA by arranging a very special "City of Angels" edition People's (People's) Court. She knows there's only one person with whom to mix and mingle law 101 with a psychology spin: her Bravoholic pal Cesie from the Bravo Docket. They deep dive the legalities behind Housewives storylines (and what the show and audience gets right and...less so), lingering questions around Eri...

Sarah heads to Los Angeles for a few days of post-Bravocon TLC (Tender Loving Cackle). She realizes the best way to work through her weekend, is with someone with whom she shares many things in common, including a royal title: Dame Brian Moylan (President and Founder of the Real Housewives Institute and author of the New York Times bestseller "The Housewives: The Real Story of the Real Housewives....

Viva Las Vegas! Sarah deep dives her thoughts on BravoCon Day 3, which included the most emotionally intense, and absolutely chaotic, panel moments of the weekend (shoutout Beverly Hills and New Jersey), how different cast members responded to guttural reactions from Bravo fans, the joy of an 84-year-old BravoConlebrity anointed to her throne, the difficulty of watching a former Housewife seemingl...

The perfect ingredientses for the second day at BravoCon? Emotional vulnerability and extra cackle, duh! Sarah is joined by one of her absolute fave Bravoholic pals, and a NAACP-nominated one at that - Erica Cobb (co-host, "Daily Blast Live," and host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show. They settle into an Uber-sassy hotel suite (as one does), and pod/show swap (video o...

Sarah hits the jackpot: she heads to Las Vegas to cover BravoCon! Recording this late last night, she deep dives the experience of day 1: the ways 2023 already feels energetically different from the first two years, what surprised her the most about the Jeff Lewis-hosted Ask Andy Panel (and the improvised question that truly seemed to piss Andy off), the tension surrounding Carl and Lindsay's firs...

The much-anticipated Vanity Fair exposé on Bravo just dropped, but who, and what, did it expose? Sarah puts on her writer girl hat, sends Adam out to shop for a sexy salad (helps with all the daily vitamins), and cooks herself an entree: unpacking the greater conversation around a reality reckoning and audience responses to Vanity Fair, the Bethenny binary, the differences between separating and s...
