Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Sarah watches clips of Isaac Mizrahi and Julia on WWHL and cleanses herself in a mikvah also known as The Real Housewives of Orange County. She deep dives Katie's performance on WWHL (plus Kim's “Truth Bomb” and Alexis’ response), a possible reason why the cast is especially upset about a call usually coming from 'inside the house,' whether an 'all against one' ethos may help Katie with the audien...

Sarah watches part one of The Valley and thinks to herself, "this is a television show I am watching right now, and that's something." She realizes it's a bit of a Mad Libs at points, and who better to string along a few words in fun and creative orders as a reaction to what was shared (and what the network chose not to highlight). Sarah discusses the newest piece of information about Jax's domest...

The journey continues. Over the course of this 42-hour mini episode, Sarah and AG guest cohost Rafi D'Angelo (writer, overpricedvodka.com) discuss Bethenny's Skinnygirl remix, the joy of watching Next Gen NYC and Bravochildren adulting (as well as their roses and thorns), RHOA's stellar reunion conclusion and Shamea's season performance, why Porsha v. Shamea remains TBD, the history of James Dolan...

Sarah prepares for a marathon cloffice catch-up with the perfect ingredientses: Georgia's renderings of Club Club Club, SPF 50 (to protect against the heat between several feuding Bravolebs), a container of whatever is the opposite of cottage cheese (A Bethenny contrarian, who can say), and of course her Bravoholic pal, writer Rafi D'Angelo (overpricedvodka.com). Over the course of this 42-hour mi...

After watching the newest RHOC, Sarah catches up on CA state law until she realizes she Googled sky tops and the fashion police. Undeterred by her ADHD and curiosity about Katie v. Shan, she realizes the best way to talk this week's receipts is a spiritual trip to Best Buy. AKA: mentioning it all. She unpacks Katie and Shannon's (almost dairy and gluten free) back and forth about recording without...

Sarah watches the finale of The Valley and slides into Aaron's honey company's DMs to ask for any spare stingers in which to frame her response to all things Jax. After counting to 10 (plus 8, to equal the financial peril he has put his child and her mom through because of ya know, being himself), she mentions it all: Michelle and Aaron's just-announced breakup (and how that may impact Michelle an...

Sarah finally unpacks the last of her emotional baggage from London in June (why can't Caroline Stanbury return to the UK full time to film, and also ya know, what's life), and realizes the best way to re-connect with her European dream is to kiki with a dream Bravoholic Brit: Elizabeth Day (award winning author, broadcaster, and host of the chart-topping podcast "How to Fail with Elizabeth Day,"...

Sarah starts binging The Gilded Age, and realizes days (weeks? years?) have gone by since she talked Bravo. So much has changed. The world of Housewives, somehow gilded and golden, Shan shining and aglow (some of that may be from all that hot air on Orange County creating a spa-esque facial). With so much to say, she Zooms up a Bravoholic pal ready to mention it all: Michael Arceneaux (New York Ti...

When life gives you lemons, remove said lemon from the cast. Jax Taylor just announced he's leaving The Valley to focus on desperately trying to return to The Valley. And Sarah has thoughts!

The journey continues. Over the course of this epic two-parter, Sarah and Abbey Bonadies (entertainment and pop culture content creator) mention it all about RHOM, Next Gen NYC, and The Valley: a cast argument that Guerdy needs to "get over" Julia's manipulative theatrics, Lisa v. Stephanie V. Father Time, Jody's role in Lisa's on-and-off-camera business, the difference in how Gia vs. the other Ho...

Sarah watches a clip of Stephanie on WWHL, and Uber Eats her a glass of water care of Julia's theatrics (how better to quench that thirst without available Chanel). She realizes that while Lisa is habitually late, a RHOM deep dive is just in time. So she invites over a Bravoholic pal who flows from one great franchise to the next, Abbey Bonadies (entertainment and pop culture content creator). Ove...

The journey continues. Over the course of this double ep, Sarah and Kiki Monique (aka The Talk of Shame, and host of "Reality Checked" on Radio Andy) discuss their impressions of the OC premiere and the latest explosive episode of The Valley, the rühmorz and nastiness around Katie vs. the rest of the cast, differing takes on Janet's villain reputation from much (but not all!) of the audience and c...

Sarah watches the RHOC premiere and another blockbuster episode of The Valley, and realizes it's only fair that two stellar West Coast shows are discussed with a West Coast Bravoholic. So after reminding herself that LA is not in fact the 6th NYC borough, she invites over her Bravoholic pal Kiki Monique (aka The Talk of Shame, and host of "Reality Checked" on Radio Andy, she reports on the news yo...

Sarah realizes the OC premiere is ready to watch, and she immediately runs to the grocery store to properly align the cloffice with positive energy. After adding 9 lemons in a bowl in front of her shrine to Shan, she settles into child's position (not estranged, no offense to Tam!) and mentions it all: Katie vs. the world, boundaries around cast members’ kids, Emily's struggle coping with Luke's A...

It's all happening. Sarah runs to the cloffice for a Reading Rainbow style emergency ep. She shares Scheana's just-published-by-Glamour book excerpt, in which Scheana details Brock's infidelity while she was pregnant with Summer Moon, and how that deepens/changes Vanderpump Rules S11, Scheana and Brock's future on The Valley, and Scheana's alliance with Lala (and Tom?) against Ariana. Collateral d...

Sarah follows Charlie's work schedule, and after a day dodging calls from friends, lenders, and The Box's ATM, realizes the only way to be a member of the 1% is Whole Foods' milk. After grabbing almond and oat instead - welcome back to the 99 - she mentions it all, including Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers' just-announced divorce (and Aaron's claims about their lifestyle), Next Gen NYC, Charlie'...

Just in time to honor the 4th of July and America's independence, Sarah loses affordable health care and protections for disabled and vulnerable loved ones.

Over the course of this two-parter, Sarah and AG guest cohost Erica Cobb unpack Julia's attacks against Guerdy (and the cast's muted response), Kiki and Lisa's vulnerability talking about parent/child relationships, estrangement, and the choices made amidst the nuance, Janet's dinner outburst, what Angela shared about Phaedra's potential/alleged role in that on-camera "momen...

Sarah watches the new Miami and immediately throws water in a mirror, hoping to someone cleanse herself of the toxins emanating from those final, bewildering minutes.

Sarah wakes up on yet another blisteringly hot day in NYC, when she realizes the temps on Bravo TV seem equally high. She fries an egg on her sidewalk, puts the cloffice AC into her veins, and realizes the only way to properly cool down is with an exhaustive 'round the world' convo of four Bravo shows (The Valley, RHOM, RHOA, and Next Gen NYC) with a fellow spiritual writer girl who has a few thin...

Sarah watches the newest episode of the Valley while reading a Variety feature on the show backwards, hoping to hear The Beatles or Pink Floyd whisper "Jax is leaving/stay tuned to Bravo TV dot com." Undeterred by off key notes reminiscent of Tom Sandoval being the most extras, she realizes the best notes are the ones made in Nia's dulcet tones. So she Zooms up one of her fave writer girls, and Va...

Sarah returns from her European adventure, having consumed enough cheese and champagne to fuel any number of environmentally friendly DeLorean time machines. And timing is everything, as there's so much Bravo breaking news to deep dive. So she unpacks her luggage, and BravoTV dot com: Rachel Zoe's casting on RHOBH, Monique's (friend-of) return to RHOP, Lexi's exit from Summer House (and Lindsay's...
