Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Tonight is Atlanta's season finale, and with the reunion trailer just released, Sarah realizes she needs an expert to discuss which peaches are fresh (and why this season feels stale). So she Zooms up one of her Bravoholic pals, news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They discuss processing forms of trauma as entertainment, what a shocking Rolling Stone exposé on Be...

When life hands you lemons, put 9 contract extensions in a bowl for Shan. Inspired by another triumphant episode for Sarah's broken bird queen, she invites Bravoholic pal and writer girl Tom Smyth to the cloffice, in order to fully unpack all things Orange County and more. Before that happens, however, they had to react to the And Just Like That Finale (spoiler alert!), what Mary's return to Salt...

Desperado for a Bethenny news blackout after last week, Sarah attends a 24-hour silent retreat, where she almost achieves Zen until her spidey senses tingle and she realizes that yes, Bethenny Ann is now unloading on commentors on IG and releasing yet another Scandoval ep. So she finds TLC by breaking it down with one of her besties, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Med...

Watch What Happens Five is on hiatus, and AG Classic is readying for its crown! Continuing a record-breaking week of episode drops, Sarah decides to BReal - with a return to form, an episode that yes, includes some Bethenny/Rachel discourse, but also so much more. And who better to join her for a New Beginning than a new guest, Bravoholic, social media manager, and "Twitter gay" (we love a brand I...

It's the home stretch and Sarah's bewildered that she has actually made it to the end. Consider this the final part of the holy trinity - the final (for now) chapter in Bethenny's storied interview with Rachel Leviss. Sarah mentions it all, with gusto (that might be the mocha frap): Bethenny's possible motivations for focusing network/employer responsibility repeatedly on Andy's shoulders, the dif...

Sarah dreams of an alternate universe when she can go five seconds without a life disruption from Bethenny Ann. But until that moment happens in time, she spends an hour or six unpacking part two of Bethenny's 15-part sit down with Rachel Leviss. Sarah mentions it all, with some extra zest (trademark pending for an upcoming Skinnygirl flavor). She discusses an a-ha moment relating to Bethenny's in...

Bethenny dropped a bombshell: and Sarah had some thoughts. After listening to both Bethenny's Reality Wreckoning and Rachel Leviss surprise drops, Sarah mentions it all, in unpacking what's discussed: the similarities and differences between Sandoval's interview with Howie Mandel and Rachel/Raquel's choice to BStrong, the ways Ariana needed to be held more accountable in both Bethenny and Rachel's...

Sarah watches Jenna Lyons IG Story auction off some of her fashion treasures on the RHONY and immediately starts to build a DeLorean from Back to the Future in order to buy half a sequined skirt. After Marty McFly tells her to try Poshmark instead, Sarah realizes another fave ensemble is an ensemble pod, one joined by her Housewives fan and friend, Alison Leiby (comedian, writer, and cohost of the...

Sarah watches the new RHOC and immediately contacts the Olympic Games to ask that Orange County vaults be added to gymnastics. Undeterred after her emails, calls, and Change.org petitions are left on read, she limbers up for an Olympic level deep dive alongside drag artist, YouTuber, and fellow Housewives athlete, Ryan Houlihan. They discuss the differences in emotional labor expectations between...

Sarah continues to feel somewhat bewildered by And Just Like That, and realizes the best way to process is with a one-on-one. So she Zooms up recent AG guest co-host to discuss how the reboot's extended timing has impacted the show's pace, Louis’ possibly-surprising hypothesis about Carrie and Aiden's future (cue Sarah's mega gasp), how RHONY's reboot factors into AJLT's current universe, and why...

Sarah watches the Brynnsgiving ep of RHONY and realizes how thankful she is for the reboot. So what better way to celebrate a true New Beginning than with an epic deep dive, thanks to someone who is always happy to mention it all, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They put various greenery and branches around their computer screens (inspired by Sai's tablescape, obvs), and discuss Brynn’s...

Sarah reads about the shocking legal letter sent to NBC/Bravo about unsafe working conditions, and realizes the only way to begin to unpack the allegations is with a fellow Housewives anthropologist. And better yet, one with a location befitting Ladies of London. So she Zooms up writer and British Bravoholic Louis Staples, and they unpack whether the allegations against Bravo humanize reality TV s...

A surprise Wednesday ep? We are truly blessed. Inspired by the many many news alerts across the Bravo land, Sarah Zooms up one of her fave entertainment journalists, the Barbara Walters of Housewifery, Brice Sander (Chief Housewives correspondent at Entertainment Tonight). They discuss the difficult lesson Shannon is learning about the Streisand Effect, the definition of what makes a Housewife a "...

Sarah receives a text message from Ralph, letting her know he doesn't appreciate what she's been saying about - oh wait, he got a digit wrong from her cell. Off to copy/paste for Marlo! Relieved to avoid any long-form about Ralph and Drew's marriage, Sarah does some vocal warm-ups to get ready to: long-form about Ralph and Drew's marriage. And who better to deep dive the ins and outs of all things...

Sarah interprets Tamra's steely eyed gaze as some sort of Morse Code to invite a new guest to the People's People's Couch - and there's no need for a video village intervention on this one. So Sarah welcomes a new guest over for an AG kiki, Hannah Wright (co-host of the podcast "You Could Do That on Television," and WGA writer currently on strike whose credits include "Stephen Colbert Presents Too...

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...

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 pod...

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 Mi...

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 Pi...

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 se...

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 wa...

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.

They join hands and discuss a Bravoholic's understanding of the Kübler-Ross model of the five sta...

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-hos...

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 e...

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. Th...
