Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Oh happy day, oh happy day-yyy! Sarah awakes fresh as a daisy, because her favorite flower is in bloom (she's talking about Shan). Thrilled at the opportunity to see fresh confessional looks and seasonal giggles, with equal parts curiosity and inspo about Pump Rules and RHONJ, she invites one of her Bravoholic BFFs over to the cloff to mention it all (someone who braved an orange NYC to schlep to the cloffice, bless him): Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss what Sandoval's response to a lack of control has revealed about his internal life, the complicated dynamics of which truth is believed between Teresa and Melissa, and why Tamra made her triumphant return to OC with more upset towrd Shan than Heather.

There's Something About Her. And her. And her. And her. After watching the much anticipated Vanderpump Rules reunion finale, Sarah realizes there's one way to work through all of the secrets revealed - with an epic Shan-style Core Four special episode: a powerhouse panel that passes the Bechdel test (one of many Sandoval would fail). Justice is SURved with friends-of Kiki Monique aka The Talk of Shame (professional talker, social media journalist and CEO of deep dives), Emily D. Baker (the internet's go-to legal analyst and host of the podcast "The Emily Show"), and Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (Bravo content creator extraordinaire). They discuss Sandoval's love language with Ariana and Raquel (emotional manipulation meets Jerry Maguire), reactions to the "t-shirt" statement currently burned in America's brain, the ways Sandoval and Raquel saw Ariana as a vessel for projection, the complicated connection Raquel made with independence and an affair, responding to critiques around Ariana's successful monetization, and a surprising reason why that final confessional may have occurred.

This is a doozy. Sarah is joined by Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches), to unpack the unfortunate series premiere of "The Idol," on Max (there is no HBO to be found amidst this chaos). They discuss the history of the show's troubled production, the ways Sam Levinson and Abel "The Weekend" Tesfaye rejected the show's original premise - and director - as too driven by a woman's perspective, and the difference in execution between "The Idol's" overhauled storyline and Levinson's hit series "Euphoria."JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/Link to the Rolling Stone exposé: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/the-idol-hbo-next-euphoria-torture-porn-the-weeknd-sam-levinson-lily-rose-depp-blackpink-jennie-1234688754/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Hot off the heels of the Pump Rules reunion finale, Sarah records an urgent care (because we urgently! care!) deep dive of her conversation with Lala at Bravo's NYC viewing party, reaction to the uber-hyped last five minutes of the reunion, thoughts on why she is one of the many women in America who, as Andy predicted, hates Sandoval, and questions about where Raquel goes from here (and if it will be with Tom).

Equal parts inspired and unnerved by part 2 of the RHONJ reunion, Sarah records an emergency 90-min (LOL) deep dive to unpack RHONJ: a lesson in crime and punishment. Or rather, it's not about the crime, but the coverup. Or rather, what are these dark arts in private investigating, and how do we never sign up? Sarah discusses the differences between assumption and evidence pertaining many allegations of foul play and upset amongst the cast, updates to the release of information about the Melissa cheating rumors that now counteract season-long storylines, the difference between "spoofing" and potential harassment, and why empathy for Teresa can still exist for those who lean more on Melissa/Joe's side (or, ya know, not).

Extra! Extra! (Sarah's being...extra.) Inspired by one of many long form pieces on Scandoval and Bravo, Sarah puts down her VHS cassette tape of the Carol Burnett Show (to see which draperies best inspired some of VPR's previous reunion looks), and Zooms up another Variety extravaganza, Kate Aurthur (Variety's Editor-at-Large). They settle into the People's People's NYC-LA couch, and discuss the process of pre-writing a Housewife's exit before it's been announced, Kate's conversation with Andy about the Scandoval/future of VPR, whether Alex Baskin regrets his varsity-level hype of the Part 3 reveal (and WTF it could actually be!), the tricky baseline around Sandoval's character, and Raquel's level of 'awareness' on and off camera.

The lord giveth, and the lord taketh away. Following an *impeccable* series finale of Succession (aka Sarah's #1 show, apologies to Manzo'd with Children), Sarah sits down with another superfan to deep dive the multilayered WTF final ep: Sami Sage (cofounder and chief creative officer, Betches Media, and host of the Morning Announcements podcast. They discuss the groundswell of online critique against Shiv's vote (and why that same fervor hasn't applied to Kendall as well), why an outsider position helped Tom in all the ways it held him back before Logan's passing, and what the show's producing/directing heads have discussed about Shiv, Kendall, and Roman's lives after cameras went down (hint: it's not a happy ending).JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Wow, Pump Rules, wow. After yet another episode of VPR Masterpiece Theatre, Sarah's cold is magically cured (not quite, but she internalized sniffles like Raquel did everything else). Inspired by Bravo's cinematic arts, Sarah invites a new guest to the People's People's Couch for an epic deep dive: Sami Sage (cofounder and chief creative officer, Betches Media, and host of the Morning Announcements pod). They settle into the cloff and discuss what Tom is getting so deeply wrong about standing as the victim of his own affair, Raquel's narrative centering the affair as a sign of emotional growth and independence, the devastating vulnerability Scheana shared as one of the many friends betrayed by Tom and Raquel, the problematic way James' behavior was used as a tool of distraction/shame by Sandoval, and Sandoval's work to manipulative the affair's origin story in front of the cameras.

Not even a deadly cold will keep Sarah away from unpacking the NJ reunion kick-off. So after waking from a 48-hour light coma (which included a dream about, you guessed it, the Toms), Sarah moves closer in convo to Toms River, aka Tre vs. Melissa: Endgame. She discusses Luis' on-camera motivations as a distraction from a deeper dive, revisionist history Teresa is now proclaiming as fact, and why convo around the kids (including off camera), is deepening a cast divide.

My cardsssssah! After watching part one of the already-historic Vanderpump Rules reunion, Sarah realizes the only way to process the 15 different dimensions of what was expressed is a (roughly)15-hour episode. With someone who is, truly, good as gold: Tracie Morrissey (writer, podcaster on "Pot Psychology" and owner of pipedreams.fun). They discuss Sandoval's strategic invalidation of his friendship with James and Scheana, a re-analysis of Katie and Schwartz' relationship and pre-Scandoval critiques, Ariana's shocking reveal about Sandoval's manipulative use of her mental health to offset critique, the Toms' consistent upset when women push back, and Raquel's motivations on and off camera. It's not the NJ convo was kept to the end per se, cloffice production said it needed to be 100 yards away - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 415!TW: this episode includes references to suicide, suicidal ideation, and self harm, while discussing the reunion and some of Tom's allegations.BUY TIX TO THE ONLINE RE-BROADCAST OF ANDY'S GIRLS LIVE: A SCANDOVAL SPRITZ WITH GUEST CO-HOST DYLAN HAFER!

"If it is to be said, so it be, so it is." As Greg so beautifully noted - probably while footstooling - today marks a Ramotional New Beginning in the history of AG's sassy social experiment: the premiere episode of "Taking it Personally!" TIP continues the kinds of conversations Sarah loves to have about Housewives: unpacking the psychology and community behind some of her favorite shows. And of course, she needed to deep dive her #1 GOAT: Succession. So she Zooms up one of her fave Bravoholic besties, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo, to discuss Logan's use of affection toward his children as both family currency and business strategy, whether Roman's breakdown was inevitable regardless of Ewan's remarks, the ways a death of innocence (and an innocent's death) became the framework of every season finale (and the show itself), and Marcia's surprising moment of emotional support for Kerry. You can't make a Tomlette without breaking some Greggs, and Shiv is a master chef - it's Taking it Personally, the premiere ep!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Sarah Googles her astrological chart, only to realize she's a Rising "Season 25: Oprah Winfrey Behind the Scenes." After sighing with relief - it just makes so much sense! - she heads into the cloffice to Zoom with someone who has a bit of experience on that show and, ya know, a few dozen others: mega producer and podcaster, Carlos King ("Reality with the King," "Belle Collective," "Love & Marriage" franchise, and of course RHOA and RHONJ). They deep dive the selective and strategic withholding of secrets on Potomac and RHONJ, whether Teresa's defensiveness about Luis is possibly connected to a trauma response from Juicy Joe/camp, whether Mama Joyce and Todd will ever get along, and what the RHOA cast is getting right - and wrong - about Martell.

Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this. Just call it Tom Sandoval's non-apology tour. After watching the Pump Rules finale, Sarah calls up her Bravo BFF, content creator and truth sayer Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo, and invites her to the People's People's Couch for a rewatch and deep dive. Yes, they began recording this episode at 2am, flying by the seat of their pants (spiritually, of course - Sarah was in a robe). They unpack Ariana's magnificent expression of rage as a rallying cry for countless women watching, Sandoval's attempt to weaponize Ariana's anger against herself, the breakdown of Sandoval and Schwartz's Toxic Adorability Complex, Raquel's Notebook-style romanticization of her affair with Sandoval (and why Ariana believes they haven't broken up, as earlier reported), and the difference in what the Toms vs their exes believe they deserve.

Child's pose, downward dog, cat/cow, and poo poo heads. These are the positions of yoga, of meditation, of growth. And after Sarah shares her thoughts on the New Jersey finale, including Luis' John Mahdessian Energy, a shocking VPR finale clip that raises additional questions about the Scandoval timeline, and the questions Sarah would ask Ariana about Sandoval, she limbers up in the cloffice for a sound(s) bath that Jax's reiki instructor Kelsey said is so good she's calling it Jason instead.

Sarah goes to Sandoval's concert in NYC (#writergirl #theultimatesacrifice) and spends the next several days trying to recover from what was a memory burned into her psyche - until she watches the newest VPR, and is plunged deeper into the rage abyss. After taking a series of cold showers and putting up a vision board comprised of the Something About Her greek salad wrap (you know Queen Ariana is gonna have gluten free!), Sarah realizes the best way to recover is to deep dive with someone who has mentioned it all on all things Scandoval, friend of the pod Ryan Bailey ("So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey"). After trying to figure out how quickly Raquel's $700 gold necklace will turn green with envy, they discuss Sandoval's history of asserting power by raging out against women, Raquel's disturbing use of Ariana's history of body and relationship insecurities in order to extract information pertinent to her affair, Schwartz' active disinterest in defending and protecting his mother-in-law against his best friend's attacks, and what Season 11 might look like if the cast stays intact.

Ask, believe, receive! Reinvigorated by a sublime RHOA premiere, and shaken by the breaking news of Kim and Kroy's surprise split, Sarah runs to the cloffice to nosh on RHOA's extra juicy news on and off TV. And who better to break it all down than one of Sarah's fave return guests, a star in his own right, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author, whose credits include "I Can't Date Jesus" and "I Don't Want to Die Poor."). They discuss the ways Kim and Kroy's split is reminiscent of a one-and-not-actually-done OC divorce, the difference in how Kandi and Todd currently view marital support, accommodations, and partnership, Shereé's active work against her own best interests in business and romance, a conspiracy theory circulating about Joe that allegedly comes up at the reunion, and the differences between Marg and Jen Aydin's arsenals (and armor).

Sarah watches the classic movie "Witness," and tells Harrison Ford that this will happen again in about 40 years with a cast member on VPR. So she Zooms up another witness to a horrible crime (Sandoval's interview with Howie Mandel), Jackelyn Shultz (producer and podcaster, whose credits include "Howie Mandel Does Stuff," which she hosts with her dad). They discuss the fallout from the Howie interview (and the reason why there wasn't a counter to Sandoval's ever-shifting narrative), a manipulative use of couples therapy in Tom's storytelling, why the Scandoval nearly cost Ariana Something About Her, Tom's possible use of a loan as a form of self preservation, and yes, why an 80 min monologue from Sandoval is probably the most revealing window into who he is.

They settle into their London/NYC thrones, and throw down on unpacking the 3D chess of living one's life IRL and on reality TV, whether previous story planting influenced the Pump Rules cast's initial disbelief about an affair between Sandoval and Raquel, the discomfort and opportunity of accepting many truths at once about Raquel, and why Brian wants to see Tre's love bubble popped.

Sarah travels to Rhode Island, her home state, named in honor of Hailey Baldwin's cosmetics line (and whatever piece of land Bethenny will acquire next, in which she will base her thriving IG reel cottage industry of all things CVS Beauty). Homesick for some of her fave familial sass, she Zooms up one of her Bravo besties, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They discuss The Toms' suspended adolescence, how a distortion of feminism to support bad actors may be a part of Raquel discourse, the possibly performative nature of Tre and Melissa's mid trip bonding, and why Rachel and Danielle's feud feels like freshman year sports gameplay.

Hot on the heels of the just-announced AG Live: A Scandoval Spritz, Sarah realizes there's only one person whose presence she requires to unpack a shocking ep of VPR (and shockingly exciting season of NJ) - her live show cohost, and Bravo bestie, Dylan Hafer (senior content manager, entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle into the cloffice (a place that doesn't allow any other meaning of the word), and discuss a shared appreciation for the Tre v. Meliss and Joe swan song (and why nuance matters), why 'tit for tat' won't work for Teresa's convo about Antonia, Katie's joyful exodus from the Toms thanks to a respect and enforcement of boundaries, and Raquel's validation invalidation quandry.

Inspired by Whitney Rose, a SLC flower in bloom, Sarah realizes she needs to make the cloffice into a spiritual garden. So she Zooms up an expert on roses, Vanderpump rosé, and spilling the dirt: Nick Viall (award-winning podcast host, TV personality, and bestselling author, whose Viall Files YouTube channel is Sarah's new fave). They deep dive Nick's journey discussing Scandoval through the lens of empathy and reality TV experience, the difference in stakes and opportunity between The Bachelor, Love is Blind, and Pump Rules, the ways Schwartz and Sandoval appear to view boundaries as disloyalty, and the devaluation conundrum facing Raquel's confessional timeline.

Sarah settles into the People's People's Couch for a spiritual Day of Atonement: watching Sandoval's interview with Howie Mandel, start to finish, in one sitting. She then takes to the cloff for a deep dive of perhaps the only sit-down Sandoval will give for a min (#bless), and unpacks the weaponization of truth when it doesn't fit Tom's narrative, the concerning ways "openness about mental health" became about sharing - and repackaging - Ariana's mental health as reason for Tom and Raquel's affair, why Raquel's press statement about a "voluntary facility" is a confusing use of language, and what the latest Louie video circulating on social media means for Tre and Louie's strategy at the RHONJ reunion. When it comes to Howie's disinterest in watching Vanderpump Rules while talking about Vanderpump Rules for 80 min, Sarah says: no deal - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 403!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Easy like a Sunday morning (recorded on Saturday night). After watching Schwartz and Sandy implode on and off VPR (including with...Howie Mandel?), Sarah realizes there's only one duo to make sense of the senseless. So she dusts off the People's People's Couch to make room for the Kim to her Kyle, the Gabriella to her Milania, the Scheana Shay to her Scheana Marie: Damian Bellino (writer, producer, co-host of the podcast "You Might Know Her From, and OG of the AG). They discuss the importance of platonic love (and why the betrayal of a friend might cut deeper for some women), Ariana's second act (and the ways Sandoval is crediting himself with her success), and whether reinforcing the 4th wall helped deepen Teresa and Joe's family fracture. Katie doesn't need tequila to straight up drag Schwartz, and this convo is just as smooth - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 402!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/ Learn more about your ad choices.

AG 400 literally happened, and she has risen (again). Fresh off a personal dream come true, Sarah puts away her Rosie and Tom VHS tapes, and welcomes in a return guest to the cloff - the epitome of sunshine and sass, and fellow hearty laugher, Danny Murphy (comedian, writer, cohost of the podcasts "Virtual Reali-tea" for Page Six and "Not Another True Crime" for Betches Media). They discuss whether Louie is riling up Tre in order to control her response, how to handle a RHONJ reunion when warring cast members have seemingly tapped out, Skinnygirl creator Bethenny Skinnygirl Frankel's warrior stance on diet culture, and what WWHL and VPR has revealed about Tom Schwartz's toxic adorability.

Waking up in the morning, thinking about so many things. In celebration of AG's 400th episode, Sarah crosses a few items off her list: winning the Powerball, getting a rent reduction on next year's cloffice lease (LOL), and yes, receiving an AG kiki RSVP from (NBD NBD) Christopher Middle Name Manzo (a familiar face from RHONJ and Manzo'd with Children, host of the new podcast Christory, and friend-of, family style, on Caroline Manzo's cooking show "Food, Love, & Chaos" and the podcast Dear Albie). After calming herself with whatever Vicki took before that post-Brooks reunion ep (you know the one), Sarah and Chris discuss the weaponization of memory, how to process conflict and conflict resolution as the child of a Housewife often embroiled in both, subverting the use of "relevancy" as an online attack, why Team Manzo doesn't come with a lifetime loyalty card, and the impact of leveraged trust between long-term producers and their cast.

Sarah sits shiva after the unfortunate loss of her beloved fish son, PK Kemsley Galli. She lights a Yahrzeit candle - really one of Dr. Tiffany's Moon's, but ya know, intention counts - and realizes the best way to grieve PK's loss is to remember the good times - like recording an episode steps away from his memorial tank. So she invites over one of her Bravoholic pals, and Raquel interpreter, Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator). They settle into the cloff and discuss the ways Raquel attempted VPR's bad behavior mission statement (a decade past OG storylines), James' valley after a #hillingjourney storyline, what the confusing narrative around Joe and Louie's pizza oven partnership says about both men's motivations, whether Heather and Whitney can get past their current Bad Weather, and why Leah is in over her head.

Sarah watches the newest ep of RHUGT and realizes Survivor has nothing on Heather v. Whitney, Marysol vs. water, and Leah vs. everyone but Candiace. So she Zooms up Housewives Survivalist, anthropologist, and writer, Louis Staples. They form their own black widow alliance (shoutout Parvati), and discuss Ultimate Girls Trip through the lens of Survivor and competition reality TV, RHONJ as a show ultimately about authenticity and symbolism, the difference in toxicity between Housewives and Vanderpump Rules, and the ultimate conundrum Housewives face in believing their persona over personhood.

It's Sarah's birthday, and magically, she's once again turning spiritually mid-twenties plus! After unwrapping a series of Pedro Pascal nesting dolls, she realizes there's no time like the present to kiki with one of her favorite gifts: Dylan Hafer (senior content manager, entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the ways RHUGT is continuing Candiace's Renaissance period (and the different ways vulnerability is processed by the cast), the difficulty of traversing cast trust and production loyalty on RHONJ, the meaning behind reconciliation for Adriana, Alexia, and Marysol, and how to reckon with Scandoval Easter eggs without knowing when the affair really began. Sandoval thinks he's the Most Extra, which is true, since his spirit does closely resemble chewed up gum - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 397!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Sarah watches the ground-shifting VPR mid-season trailer and immediately realizes who she wants to invite to the cloff to mention it all: Pedro Pascal. Mysteriously, he doesn't appear to have noticed Sarah's Instagram DM/Paperless Post/carrier pigeon/voicemail at CAA/drive by that abandoned mall set somewhere in Canada/Craigslist Missed Connection/MySpace top 8/swipe on Hinge. So Sarah resolves herself to not only "endure and survive," but thrive, with a cloffice kiki alongside one of her fave Bravoholic translators, and a VPR super-stan, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, co-host of the podcast "Ruined," and possible Tre Hugger nemesis). They throw on their shared gold wired eyeglasses (better to see the truth that Sandoval never will), and discuss a myriad of reasons why the Scandoval continues to be a "choose your own adventure" for the ages, how to consciously uncouple in an environment that rebukes boundaries/healing, why showing up to the reunion may be Raquel's first real step of accountability (one Sandoval may be less interested in seeing happen), which RHONJ has become symbolic for both distancing viewers from the series or connecting them deeper, and the interpretive dance of connection, critique, and projection between Bravolebs and Bravo fans.

Sarah realizes it's always the perfect time to Turtle Time - with a heavy pour of VPR. So she puts Countess Lu's classic dance hit "Girl Code," and invites over a pal with thoughts on all things Scandoval: Gibson Johns (host of the podcast "We Should Talk"). They settle into a stage whisper (the first min or so of audio for this ep is more of a general attention test), and unpack the nuanced reasons why some women are particularly upset at the idea of Raquel/Rachel's girl-on-girl crime (and friendship betrayal), Sandoval's wildly inappropriate refusal to alleviate Ariana's stress in real time, why Schwartz' TMZ meanderings are raising real questions (including for Katie) about when he found out, and yes, thoughts on Housewives too! From whether the women are truly afraid of Marg to whether Alexia can ever humble herself into accountability, this is a supersized ep that covers all the bases, including ones Sandoval likely skipped at T-ball (a cheater to his core) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 395!LISTEN TO AN EMERGENCY PATREON EP ABOUT ARIANA, RAQUEL, AND TOM: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Sarah listens to Bethenny's most sage counsel about how to prep for Daylight Savings Time ("go to sleep!!") and wakes up refreshed and ready for a Birthday Month Big Aries Energy new beginning. And who better to set the intentions right than one of Sarah's Bravo pals, and recent NAACP Awards nominee, Erica Cobb (cohost, "Daily Blast Live," and host of the pod The Comeback with Erica Cobb). They settle into full Giudice/Namaste vibes, and discuss the differences between maturity and growth on Potomac, the expression of anger as a rebuke to hurt in New Jersey, Teresa and Joe's family legacy, and how father-daughter boundaries are viewed on Miami.

Rule of Culture #75: the best convos are ones that begin in the Clubhouse and end in the cloffice. Sarah realizes that in order to deep dive the cultural environment that surrounds RHONJ, she needs an expert in the field (Long Island childhood: check). So she invites over a return guest one ep-ish away from the SNL 5, Matt Rogers (multi-hyphenate comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster whose credits include "I Love That for You," "Fire Island," "Love Trip: Paris," "Have You Heard of Christmas?" and Las Culturistas with Bowen Yang.) They deep dive the ways some contestants on The Traitors assume morality should matter on a show about deception (spoiler alert for US and UK Traitors!), the current communication imbalance between Tre and Joe (and the difference between moving forward and moving on), Larsa and Alexia's inability to understand the boundaries Dr. Nicole has set with her dad, and how Potomac moves forward after an uneven season and rumors about casting cuts.

Another day in paradise. Sarah orders a round of Pumptinis and all the latest news and allegations surrounding the universe-shifting Scandoval, and realizes she needs someone to guide her along the path. Let's have a kiki! So she Zooms up her Bravo pal, VPR superfan, and social media journalist, Kiki Monqiue (aka The Talk of Shame), to unpack all things Scandoval and Potomac. They discuss the ways Drive Back was a prophecy (perhaps not as Candiace intended), Tom's continued inability to accept being seen as a villain, Robyn's allergic reaction to receipts, and Gizelle's refusal to acknowledge sexualizing Chris.

Turns out, Tom Sandoval might be the #1 guy in this group - in all the worst ways. After the Bravo world blows up following the shocking news that VPR star Tom Sandoval has been cheating on his longtime partner Ariana Madix with costar Raquel Viess, Sarah records a special ep to discuss a timeline of what has occurred through now, Easter eggs Tom and Raquel left in the current season (and on WWHL), WTF did Schwartz know and when, and why everyone is losing their minds about lightning bolt necklaces.

It's mere moments before the world is rocked with the devastating news that Tom Sandoval lived up to his first name (never eff a Tom!!). And before finding out VPR's Bambi is the villain in her own Disney story, Sarah lives like it's truly one of the best days of her life: by having an IRL cloffice kiki with her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (senior content manager, entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the nuances in Teresa's "chosen family" - and why choosing a side continues to be a slippery slope, the difference between enabling and escalating behavior for Jen Aydin and Bill, and why Adriana's search for validation from Marysol and Alexia may remain undiscovered.

Sarah watches the second part of the Potomac reunion, and immediately lights a 7-wick candle (paying homage to Karen and Dr. Wendy, huzzah). Since the heat of the episode needs a perfect match, she Zooms up one of her Bravoholic BFFs, a Potomac dramaturg of the highest order, Richie Skye (news and entertainment journalist, pop culture expert, and author of the forthcoming book, "The Wickedest Wives: Desiree's Desire"). They discuss the difficulty of placing expectations on unwilling participants, Gizelle's empathy imbalance, and whether or not a different grieving process may have impacted Joe and Tre's later divide.

Sarah almost sprains her ankle in Miami Beach after running along the ocean toward Chris Manzo, and wonders how she'll ever be able to go on with such a life-altering non-injury (Adriana didn't answer her call). Then she wakes up. Annoyed by a moment that wasn't real, she has a different kind of dream come true instead: a new guest on the People's People's Couch, Kara Berry (podcast host, "Everyone's Business But Mine"). They discuss the differences in how a family member's financial support is perceived as an "accomplishment" by Ashley vs Candiace, how to have empathy for Adriana's current life anxieties while holding her accountable for her shocking Frankie overreach, and kids' on-camera roles in NJ.

Sarah watches the newest ep of The Last of Us, and realizes she didn't finish processing her change of name forms with the DMV (Sarah Galli-Pascal has such a nice ring to it). With RHONJ social media looming, and the Potomac reunion booming, she realizes the best thing to do is some Zoom-Zooming with another HBO aficionado - and Bravoholic, obvs - content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They discuss the nuanced journey behind Gia's public rebuke of her father and uncle's weekend reunion, the difference between an admission of responsibility and acknowledgement of feelings with Gizelle and Chris, and why Candiace can't seem to take women's bodies out of her weapons arsenal.

NYC may have skipped winter this year, but Sarah loves a good comfort blanket and chill (also known as The Real Housewives of Miami). So she Zooms up one of her Bravoholic besties, and fellow "Adriana! No" aficionado, Ryan Houlihan (drag artist, YouTuber, and member of Team Tre). They discuss Adriana's alternate universe style of self-victimization (and ability to turn questions of empathy into direct warfare), the ways select NJ Housewives use group conflict as a substitute for personal storyline, how symbolism around perceived intentions/behavior is leading to much of Teresa and Melissa's strife, and why Joe Giudice may be the missing piece of the "when did this all go so horribly awry" puzzle for Teresa and her brother.

Happy Gallitines Day, AGs! Sarah celebrates this holy occasion the best way she knows how: by sending Chris Manzo a valentine (herself wrapped up with a bow). But after she realizes she can't FedEx a human-sized package to someone's DMs, Sarah realizes another option is really the best gift of all: a super-sized AG with pal Evan Real (senior tv reporter at PageSix.com, and cohost of Page 6's podcast Virtual Reali-tea). They settle into the cloffice and discuss trigger Housewives, a Gorga tradition of explosive reactions/family feuds passed down to Teresa and Joe, and an important - albeit difficult - lesson in how Dolores stays true to her friends, and herself.

Sarah realizes this season of RHONJ is going to be a marathon, not a sprint, so she trains like a marathon runner would - by carbo loading and pretending Danielle Staub is chasing her (helps achieve that 2-min mile). Limber and ready to race, she Zooms up two athletes in the field of Tre Huggers/Loggers/the middle of the pack, Abby and Vanessa from Real Moms of Bravo. They discuss Potomac's Fox Force Five energy, what's really behind upset around Tre's bridal party, and why Dolores' prediction about a permanent split between Teresa, Joe, and Meliss may be the healthiest option for everyone but the casting dept.

Sarah unpacks the delightful RHONJ premiere, from the ways Teresa's inability to withstand discomfort has impacted her relationship with Melissa and Joe, to Louie's less-than-Namaste name calling, and why this may well be the last season to feature Tre vs. Meliss, full time.

Sarah realizes the best way to get through winter chill is with "Entertainment Tonight" (Also known as The Real Housewives of Miami). So she Zooms up a friend with insights on both, ET's chief Real Housewives correspondent, Brice Sander. They discuss Robyn's confusing asterisk about Juan (and what this means for the upcoming reunion), Meredith's confounding narrative about Jen as an "underdog" vs criminal victimizer, and Alexia and Dr. Nicole's argument about intent vs. impact.

So, a new chapter on her Salt Lake recovery hath maybe begun: hilling. Joining Sarah on this journey: fellow recovering Bethenny stan, Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator). They discuss differing views on Heather v. Whitney, the difficulty of ignoring accountability when choosing to stan, the importance of centering consent in conversation about Brandi's behavior on RHUGT S4, and Robyn's confusing reveal about Juan.

After Sarah finds her true calling in life -- watching Dr. Nicole throw a black Amex on a flustered attorney's lap -- she realizes her ideal billable hour is a priceless kiki with a certain beloved return guest. So Sarah Zooms up her pal, New York Times bestselling author Michael Arceneaux ("I Can't Date Jesus," "I Don't Want to Die Poor"), for a deep dive on the bitterness Lenny has toward a marital dynamic he created, Dr. Nicole's struggle to meet her father in the present while defending childhood and adult trauma from the past, a lesson in the harm of indifference that Meredith and Heather could learn from Elie Wiesel, and the irony behind Heather’s book tour.

Sarah awakens from a horrifying, melatonin induced nightmare, where she dreamt that Jen Shah wasn't fired by Bravo after literally bankrupting grandmas and grandpas all over the land. She realizes the best salve is AG therapy with a dream guest: Ryan Houlihan (journalist, drag performer, and Bravoholic). They discuss the-now cancelled Frost/Nixon/Shah/Cohen, a Jentervention for Heather and Meredith (and the ways nuance seems less important at times than prioritizing accountability with a smidge of rage), and the ways Miami is currently carrying the light (bouncing off of Larsa's feet).

Sarah receives the results of her Myers-Briggs personality test, and discovers she's an EIMY (Extremely Into Miami Yes). Thrilled to know that her extroversion toward her fave franchise is tried and true, she Zooms up another fave: news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They discuss the perception of beta Housewives personalities as a potentially negative character trait (and the role of gender in using 'beta' as a pejorative), Karen and Charrisse's divide about supporting a friend in mourning as a potentially transactional exchange, whether or not Jen should have attended the Salt Lake reunion, and how Andy's remarks about Jen's future with Bravo intersect with an audience expectation around accountability. Sarah may not be able to answer whether or not Salt Lake is "worthy" of a visit, but this convo definitely is - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 378!Read Sarah's Daily Beast piece about the Bravo community's response to the Jentencing: https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/bravo-fans-react-to-jen-shahs-prison-sentencing-with-shockJOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Sarah watches the Salt Lake City finale and realizes that the only thing editors left on the cutting room floor -- aside from Danna's moment in the sun -- is everything. The only way to get to the other side of this slog is to get through it, and who better to join her for this journey than Sarah's Bravoholic pal, Daniel Stokes (culture programs lead at Brex and cohost of the pod "Thots & Prayers"). They discuss the Salt Lake finale's High School Musical: The Musical energy, the lack of a voice of the audience when it's needed now more than ever before, what Jen's likely sit-down with Andy means for the network's confusing tone, and what reunion accountability could look like for Gizelle. This convo doesn't need the green eyed bandits, because the combo of Sarah and Daniel's laughs is the greatest alliance of all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 377!Read Sarah's Daily Beast piece about the Bravo community's response to the Jentencing: https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/bravo-fans-react-to-jen-shahs-prison-sentencing-with-shockJOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/ Learn more about your ad choices.
