With Andy's Girls Live nearly here (someone cue "One More Day" from Les Misérables aka RHONY) along with the start of Bravoholic Appreciation Week, and having just rewatched the excellent start to the RHOBH reunion, Sarah works on her breathing exercises ("less Girardi, less Jayne"), and calls up her fave breath of fresh air, actor and writer for theGrio, Jared Alexander. They unpack the sacrificial lamb-style friendship contract that everyone in the cast seems to want Garcelle and Sutton to sign, Dorit's fascinating performance as a woman scorned (by...reality tv rules of engagement?), and Erika's interest in closing the chapter to a book at its start. Andy's Girls Live is almost sold out, kind of like Rinna the last couple years - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 258!

Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Episode 258 - with Jared Alexander

Sarah watches the new Potomac and immediately Venmos her therapist a bonus since the only topics she plans to discuss concern Candiace, Mia, and their moms. After being told said therapist doesn't watch Bravo and prefers something called 'magazines,' Sarah immediately blocks her, buys shoes, and Zooms up Bravoholic bliss: a Potomac-heavy AG kiki with Team Monique whisperer, Danielle Prescod (author, podcast host, and DEI consultant). They explore the many layers  navigating Candiace's sensitivity training ('don't have none, won't be none'), Wendy's work ascending the Housewives Inc corporate ladder one single-wicked candle at a time, and what the women of Salt Lake City understand about independent streams of income for independent women. Eating your greens is almost as important as spending them, and Andy's Girls Live is the perfect supplement- it's Andy's Girls, Episode 257!   BUY TICKETS TO ANDY'S GIRLS LIVE (October 17 at Club Cumming in NYC!): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/andys-girls-live-tickets-177427960807 JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY EXCLUSIVE BONUS EPS AND ACCESS TO ZOOM EVENTS: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirls   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 257 - with Danielle Prescod

Sarah celebrates Chinese New Year (the year of the ox and also cackle), by watching the RHOBH finale and per Crystal's counsel, waiting to take out the trash (Tom). Instead, she Zooms up one of her fave Bravoholic institutions, and Lisa Rinna's spiritual nemesis, Ryan Bailey (host, So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey). They continue this week's pod swap - make sure to listen to P1 on his show! - by discussing the ways that the RHOBH audience resembles virtual reality, if Rinna can ever come back from her role as Erika's primary consigliere, and what Sutton has taught the other women about creating and maintaining boundaries, no matter what. Erika may threaten lawsuits to keep people silent, but this convo will keep you talking - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 256!

Episode 256 - with Ryan Bailey

Spiritually still in LA, land of dreamers and Kyle and Kim, Sarah hops on a trolley Kathy originally bought for Paris and Nicky as a joke, and takes in the CA sights (TomTom, Pump, the dried carcass of what once lived Villa Blanca), before Zooming up her fave podcast whisperer, Ryan Houlihan (senior gaming editor, inputmag.com). They discuss the joie de vivre that is Meredith Marks' magical mystery tour, the losing gamble Lisa played introducing a real-life pal as an on-camera friend-of, and whether Candiace is immune to understanding low blows because of her lower-blow relationship with her therapist mom.

Episode 255 - with Ryan Houlihan

Sarah jets to the City of Angels (hi Sutton and Garcelle!) for a few days of R&R (rewatch and repeat). She checks in at the historic setting of Pantygate - the Sofitel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills - and meets up with LA resident and RHOBH linguist, James LaRosa (multi-hyphenated writer, director, and showrunner). They explore the ways the Fox Force Whomever may further punish Sutton for being in the audience's favor, whether Never Have I Ever was an idea 'stolen' by production (and Rinna's interest in exploiting Garcelle's first Q, regardless), and why Dorit may need to learn a 5th language (taking responsibility for saying dumb ish). The Dame is in LA, and off to Groupon Erika's glam - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 254!

Episode 254 - with James LaRosa

En route to LA to get Lisa Rinna's friendship bracelet surgically removed, Sarah watches the Potomac Reasonably Shady ep and realizes the only thing unreasonable would be missing the chance to unpack this perfect scene. She Zooms up one of her fave IG content creators - a Bravo investigative translator like no other - @BravoBravoDuckingBravo. They discuss the ways that Askala and Mia are further strengthening the Potomac playing field (while turning on each other), the ways that Rinna is strategically refusing to take accountability for anything but being the 'perfect' friend (to Erika alone), and whether the Fox Force Yada could ever split their majority vote.

Inspired by Big BravoCon Energy - and a VERY exciting announcement at the end of this ep! - Sarah heads over to the Regency for an AG kiki with her Bravoholic BFF. She watches the day's View en route, and decides if emergency Zoom is good enough for Joy and the VP, it's good enough for the OGs of the AG! Separated by neighborhoods and some opinions on BH, Sarah is joined by Damian Bellino (comedian, co-host of the podcast You Might Know Her From), for a double ep's worth of convo about Erika Jayne. They discuss the ways that Erika deigns to discuss family matters when in service to an empathetic narrative arc, the impact of groupthink with the Fox Force Yada plus Crystal vs Sutton and Garcelle, and the "unsavory" idea of choosing friendship with a falsehood. Sarah and Damian are going live in October, someone save a row for the Dame's cackle - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 252!

Episode 252 -with Damian Bellino

Sarah attempts to reserve an orchestra seat at Jen Shah's upcoming trial, until she's told there are no advance sales aside of TKTS. Sarah immediately hires a Task Rabbit to wait in line until March (Kim K. better be on the defense during sweeps), and Zooms up her favorite legal commentator, former prosecutor. and host of The Emily Show, Emily D. Baker. They sit on the spiritual People's People's (Court's) Couch, and discuss the many complexities inherent in Erika's latest car accident reveal, the tension inherent in demanding trust without providing it, what Bethenny's viral scoop on Erika tells us about 'who knew' inside the network, and why Jen may be reveling in the federal court version of 'there's no such thing as bad press.' PK is the voice of reason, and this convo adds more than a dash of sass - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 251!

Episode 251 - with Emily D. Baker

It's the Andy's Girls 250th episode extravaganza!!!! And in order to celebrate, Sarah eschews the 25th anniv symbol(in the words of Scheana Shay, this pod is good as gold, not silver), and Zooms up her fave glistening diamond, and Bravo bestie, Dylan Hafer (content manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pods Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @bravobybetches). They discuss the absolutely extraordinary premiere of Salt Lake City, and the fascinating ways to reevaluate Jen Shah's performative nature in light of her federal charges, whether or not a Gizelle/Karen stalemate can ever stay fresh, and their predictions for the upcoming BH reunion (which doesn't bode well for the People vs Lisa Rinna).

Episode 250 - with Dylan Hafer

Sarah sneaks into the Beverly Hills reunion disguised as one of Kathy Hilton's puppies/fur stoles. After running away as fast as she can from Lisa "Erika said what? oh look a dog" Rinna, she trots on back to the People's People's Couch for an epic double ep kiki with Erica Cobb, co-host of "Daily Blast Live," host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show, and the screenwriter behind "Conspiracy Theory 2: Still Conspirin'" (not really). They discuss the spectrum of empathy to accountability when discussing Candiace's weaponization of shame, the problem with assigning weakness and strength to Sutton and Erika's showdown, and a few shocking conspiracy theories that Erica has about Erika Jayne. In honor of Salt Lake City premiere weekend, Sarah and Erica are fully engaged - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 249!

Episode 249 - with Erica Cobb

Sarah unravels after one of the greatest eps of Housewives in recent history - a dinner party from hell, heaven sent - so she immediately races to Beverly Hills (jk, a Zoom from her NYC bed), to unpack all things Erika Jayne with one of her fave culture critics - and Erika Jayne spiritual investigator - Alex Zaragoza (screenwriter, producer, and senior culture writer at Vice). They unpack whether or not objectivity is a goal when discussing Housewives, the differences between reputation and recognition, and of course 1756 hours on Erika Jayne. Turns out when it comes to Erika's behavior, Sarah and Alex give many f**ks - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 248!

Episode 248 - with Alex Zaragoza

Sarah watches the newest episode of Potomac, and is horrified to realize she has never ONCE been offered the key to Karen's hometown. She soothes herself the best way she knows how: with human sunshine, and fellow Kyle apologist, Daniel Stokes (senior program lead of employee interactions, Door Dash). They unpack whether Wendy's horoscope was actually a prophecy for her latest tirade against Gizelle, whether Gizelle's First Lady visage inhibits her own capacity for empathy, and how the Beverly Hills cast may adapt to ongoing audience reaction on the reunion.

Sarah the private rehearsal for Sonja Morgan's upcoming cabaret tour (really!), and is lifted up into heaven during and after. Following a historic - and singular - performance, she is lowered below the earth's surface, the current season of RHONY's spiritual lower level. She puts on a few coats of SPF 9 billion, and Zooms up one of her fave guest co-hosts who always brings hot takes, writer Rafi D'Angelo (SoLetsTalkAbout.com). They discuss Sarah's wild night at Sonja's show, and what happened when the only straight man in the audience was livestreamed on OnlyFans, how and why the cast of RHOBH is better equipped for nuanced convos around race than, ya know, Ramona and LuAnn, Ashley's resume as the official Housewife LinkedIn, and Dorit's split perspective on 'bullying,' while sitting at the same table as Erika Jayne.

Feeling stung by the latest flyover Singer Stinger, Sarah hides in Lu's fave bush and calls up her fave Bravoholic pal - and Jameela Jamil truther - Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, and host of the podcast Pot Psychology). They disregard whatever garbage is currently being burned on NY, and instead discuss Zen Wen's pulpit-worthy dragging of Gizelle, why Robyn needs more than "tough love" (perhaps...empathy?), and the ways that Erika's narrative seems to be falling apart, even with Rinna's potential coaching behind the scenes.

Sarah decides to add some Zen Wen positive energy in her humble abode with nine lemons and a bowl, until she realizes she accidentally bought six (turns out, unlike Sutton, she's not great at math). After screaming "this isn't even my effing plate" into the abyss as lemons run for the door, she ambles over to the People's People's Couch for a breath of fresh air, the host of Lemonada Media's new pod "I'm Sorry," Kiki Monique aka The Talk of Shame. They discuss whether an apologizer like Ramona can ever feel regret, Sutton's elevation to GOAT-level handler of receipts, and why Erika Jayne's storyline is rapidly approaching her house of cards' garage.
