Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Hot off the heels of Thursday night's Andy's Girls Live (replay tix avail!), Sarah realizes she's nowhere near done unpacking the BH premiere. So she Zooms up one of her podcast pals, Mary-Payne Gilbert (host of the podcast Pink Shade). They mention it all: prepping for Survivor: BravoCon, Erika's search for humility and empathy, mixed messaging online and IRL about Dorit and PK, Mauricio's seemin...

Sarah watches the RHOBH premiere (and an honestly fascinating WWHL), and is immediately inspired. So she rushes to the cloff to record an urgent ep. She discusses a seeming shift in energy (and visual aesthetic), Kyle's search for inner independence (and a truly off-kilter Mo), the impact of Garcelle's nuanced conversation with her sons about parenting/needs, performative sisterhood, and what on e...

Overwhelmed with emotion after watching the first part of the RHONY reunion, Sarah realizes the best kind of energy to enjoy is someone equal parts ASMR and calm. So, she sends out a Bravoholic bat signal to parts unknown (shoutout Texas!), and is delighted when her Bravo content creator pal, Dana Omari-Harrell (@IGFamousByDana) immediately flies to the cloffice for an epic deep dive. They discuss...

Talking about "The Morning Show" lasts all night. There's just so, so much to unpack. Luckily, Sarah is joined by the Laura to her Bradley (no), the Jon to her Jen (absolutely), and the Corey to her Cheshire Cat grin, 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: the evolution of viewing exp...

Inspired by Angie K's Greek Easter invite, Sarah asks a SLC production assistant to put on a bunny costume from Party City circa 1974 and invite her Bravo bestie to record an ep. Unfortunately the bunny does not have keys to his apt, but thankfully the door to the cloffice is open to all, especially Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All,...

Come one, come all! Inspired and energized by Southern Charm's wild season, Sarah invites AG guest co-host Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined") to mention it all. They deep dive the true definition of "hooking up," the ways Craig and Paige have become The Voice of the People, the toxic underbelly of Shep's plea/decree that the dinner party from fowl hell is "a place of...

Inspired by Brynn's bday wish for people to share lists of grievances, and the greatest gift of all (Salt Lake's mid-season trailer), Sarah makes her own half-birthday gift: another AG classic in the cloff, with one of her fave Bravo pals, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and cohost of the pod "Ruined"). They settle in a soup vs. sandwich debate, and then deep dive suspicions of Monica's involvemen...

Sarah realizes she needs an extra dose of TLC: Tender Loving Cackle. So she sends an urgent cloffice Google Cal to one of her Bravo pods, who flies from CA just for this recording: Ryan Bailey (pop culture commentator and host of the pod "So Good It's Bad with Ryan Bailey," presented by Betches). They settle into the cloff with some decaf tea (all the better to spill), and discuss the ways Bravo/e...

Sarah takes a moment in the cloffice to discuss how she is feeling right now around the terrorism in Israel and Gaza as a Jewish person. This episode may be difficult to hear, but it is an important one, and we can do hard things. Also Heather Gay looks great in her Gucci corset, TYVM. It's Andy's Girls, Episode 466. "They Found Us in the Attic" was written and performed by Sarah's friend Jesse Ru...

Sarah wakes from her cold med-induced slumber - possibly inspired by the chill between Shan and Gina, TBD - and sneezes a deep dive into fruition, with the true medical provider of sass whose copay is extra cackle: Dr. Damian Bellino (writer, producer, co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From, and OG of the AG). They settle into a girl-in-the-plastic-bubble style Zoom kiki, and discuss what Hou...

After re-watching the Orange County finale, Salt Lake, and yes that Erin v Ubah ep of RHONY, Sarah realizes she simply cannot go on without putting on a Housewives remix. Tardy for the Party, Chic C'est La Vie, Fly Above, all the greats are included. And what better theme for AG Classic than inviting this return guest back for another zesty Zoom kiki than Kiki herself, The Talk of Shame's Kiki Mon...

Sarah gets a call from lobbyists for Big Alpha, who are determined to disentangle their company's branding from Angie K (can you blame them?). After returning the special K back to cereal and the Kardashians, Sarah realizes she has to much to say about Angie's....performance art. So she invites over writer and NYC rainfall survivor, Tom Smyth. They settle into the cloff, and discuss Meredith's Ron...

It was the plonk heard ‘round the world. Bethenny posts a surprise conversation with Nene on her pod, and Sarah *immediately* gives it a listen. Her deep dive of Part 1: the ways Nene's childhood affected her relationships as an adult, the differences in how Bethenny and Nene view their time on reality TV (and a lot of crossover), how Nene indirectly led to Bethenny's marriage (YUP), how Nene's su...

Sarah marks Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar known as the Day of Atonement, by watching the new ep of RHONY and immediately sending Erin a Paperless Post for shul. She realizes a true Scary Island would be not speaking about the new ep, and Zooms up one of her fave (Kim Richards voice) "Daily Beasts," Kevin Fallon (editor of the Daily Beast Obsessed, a pop culture website). They...

Sarah watches the new Salt Lake episodes and levitates to another universe, filled with hope and possibility. Luckily, she learned several languages/dialects, ones Duolingo only wishes it had heard of first. She realizes the universe is in need of another episode stat, so she Uber Pools back to the cloff, where she meets Los Angelino Ryan Bailey (pop culture commentator and host of "So Bad It's Go...

Sarah celebrates the High Holidays with a mazel of the day: inviting RHONJ star, lawyer, and author Jackie Goldschneider over to the cloffice, where they discuss her new book, The Weight of Beautiful, and of course, her experiences as a New Jersey Real Housewife. They truly mentioned it all: the nuanced use of "recovery" when talking about eating disorders, Bravo's role in Jackie's treatment and r...

"I've been traveling, I've been to prison." A perfect line delivery by Luann de Lesseps, one Shannon Storms Beador can unfortunately more fully appreciate. Capping off a wild, wild, day with all the highs and lows one can associate with being a Shan stan, Sarah realizes she really needs some light. And ribald humor. And sass. The perfect ingredient to brighten the cloff? Sarah's Bravo bestie, of c...

Hashtag this is too Real for Real. News broke today that Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Storms Beador was allegedly arrested for DUI alcohol and hit-and-run late Saturday night. And as a Shan stan, Sarah had a few triage-style thoughts. On Shan, Archie, Gina, John, Sarah is truly mentioning it all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 457. Update following recording:  Shannon Beador 's lawye...

Shana Tova, Friends of Jill! Sarah celebrates the Jewish New Year by dipping RHONY apples into honey (talk about sweet New Beginnings). She realizes the best resolution to have is to be real - and who better to AG Kiki with than Evan Real (senior TV reporter, PageSix.com, and co-host of the pod Virtual Realitea). They discuss the similarities in storyline and character critiques on The Hills and V...

Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo? Tampa, prob. After watching the...shall we say, confounding, reunion finale for Atlanta, Sarah looks for one of the remaining peaches Drew brought to set as a prop. She realizes it's past its expiration date (kind of like this season) and instead Zooms up someone with the freshest takes on all things Housewives (maybe Sherée should skip this one), New York T...

Sarah watches the newest ep of Orange County and immediately orders various "SG" branded pillows, rugs, toothpaste, and sand. After realizing she also needs an AG Kiki that is anything but standard, she sends an engraved mirrored invite to Bravo pal Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, Pot Psychology podcaster, and owner of pipe dreams.fun). They discuss continued speculation about Carl and Lindsay...

And the lord said, Lo - not you Bosworth, the other meaning of the word - I shall pass on to thee season 4 of Salt Lake City, and anoint you, dear viewers, to tell the tale of everyone not named Shah. And the people said, yay-ish. Sarah receives the biblical scroll also known as RHOSLC's season opener, and feels the need to spread the good word. And some of those words? Perhaps not only good. But...

What better way to mark Labor Day than appreciating a guest for doing some heavy lifting. Inspired by a RHONY ep all about taking flight (of fancy, and sass), Sarah books a steerage ticket with multiple stops en route to the Real Housewives Institute. While there, she Zooms up Founder and President (and the New York Times bestselling author of The Housewives: The Real Story of the Real Housewives)...

There have been several historic moments in AG's recording history: when the spirit of Bobby Zarin turned off the electricity in Sarah's apt; when breaking news confirmed the death of Dennis Shields; when Scandoval broke. And lo, another shocker hath arrived: when Sarah and Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo find out mid-recording that betrothed Summer House stars Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard have ended...

Just a couple New Yorkers, trying to find Hoboken on a map. Sarah runs to the cloffice armed with dirty laundry (Ralph's BS, and socks), and realizes there's only one person with whom she wants to deep dive: eternal NYC treasure, and a Bravoholic pal, Christine Biancavilla. Sarah charges her a roll of quarters to enter the cloff, where they deep dive Ralph's intrinsic disinterest in his wife, Cour...
