Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

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 eyes than Sandoval (and the ways gender politics played into both their argument and the result), how Andy factored in to Bethenny's through-line of complicit behavior, and an interest in exposing 'performative friendship' as the exact opposite (at least for people who've watched more than the reunion eps, ahem ahem).

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 podcast Ruined). They settle into another fashion destination - the cloffice, obvs - and discuss confusing levels of transparency in Bethenny's unionization drive, Orange County's continued triumph (a universe that's blessedly 5 years behind), Jessel's accidental genius, differing opinions on Erin's alpha energy and how perceived desirability may have influenced her "cackling hags" response, whether single Housewives like Brynn are infantilized by married members of the cast, reasons why RHONY is the true inverse of Salt Lake, and what two New Yorkers really think about TriBeCa.

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 Shannon and Emily’s significant others, The Slade Smiley Accord (wanting a partner who is supportive of a Housewife's career without wanting to be center stage), the impact of gender politics on Shannon and John's relationship, Heather and Tamra's differing motivations in how they discuss Shannon and John, and oh yes, reactions to the RHOSLC trailer (and the disadvantage of being perceived/celebrated as a "grounded" Housewife).

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 Cynthia's present intern arc continues to ignore her very specific past.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/Read Louis' Vogue piece on AJLT: https://www.vogue.com/article/and-just-like-that-is-the-most-addicting-thing-on-tv Learn more about your ad choices.

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 strength and vulnerability (and boundaries set in her producer confessional between discussing circumstance vs. hurt), a convo around imposter syndrome inspired by Ubah's concern about seeking investors, Jenna's "sensible humanity," and how projection vs. performance might impact Jessel's behavior.

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 stars typically caricatured, deepening opinions on Jessel, the difference in how Americans and Brits discuss class, money, and access (inspired by Sai and Brynn's conversation), another failed attempt to make Ryan appear mature, Heather's possible crisis of confidence and identity crossroads, and oh yes, Shan.

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 "star," the difference between focusing on optics vs. behavior (bcc: Jen), and Heather's uncertain future.

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 Housewifery than Kara Berry (not Katy Perry!), host of the podcast "Everyone's Business But Mine." Sarah and Kara (say that five times fast) discuss the toxic cycle when a Housewife tries to convince her cast (and audience) that her partner isn't the devil incarnate (BCC, Lenny and Lisa, Jen and Ryan, and, you guessed it, Drew and Ralph). They also unpack a cast repositioning of Jenna's vulnerability as a sign of elitism, whether Jessel was looking at the 'sexiness' of her gifted lingerie through the male gaze (and why Uba's understanding was so key), the origin story of Sai's chameleon-esque ability which was based out of survival, and a conversation on how women dress through the lens of gender, identity, and sexuality (inspired by Jenna's comments).

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 Tooning Out the News"). They settle into the cloff (a place with no other settling), and discuss Bethenny Frankel's Swiftie energy, the long game Tamra is currently playing against Heather, the great debate over Housewife home hospitality (welcome, Erin!), and what "likability" means in the context of discussing Housewives - and women.

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 of women-focused storytelling in cinema aka BravoTV.com, what Bethenny's union organizing needs to include (the Milokksy clause), the impact of Kandi's worldwide cancellation policy on RHOA filming, and the bright, bright light that is Tamra v. Jen and Heather v. Gina. No matter who your spiritual Housewife is, this convo will make top 5 - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 435!Hey Barbie! Hi Ken!

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 podcaster whose credits include the 'Howie Mandel Does Stuff' podcast with her dad, Howie “Future Bravo Viewer” Mandel). They deep dive the impact of reality TV on Housewives marriages (and the expectation of performing happiness on the show and off), Tamra's capacity for loyalty to 'friends' in the cast vs. the show and its audience, Gina's polarizing persona, the myriad ways to define/value/call out a Housewife as problematic, and what parts of the Howie and Lala convo were left on the cutting room floor (hint: it's about Tom).

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 Miranda (and Cynthia Nixon's) role in the current universe, and Kim Cattrall's triumphant GTFOH press tour.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.

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 PipeDreams.fun). They discuss the new energy on RHONY as a re-set for the franchise, the ways fighting about cheese and Catch are a true return to form for cast fighting, the introduction of alliances between Erin v. Brynn, Jessel's Jen Aydin energy, and the complicated dynamics surrounding Lizzie's exit.

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 separate new NY from its not-so-distant past (and what Crappie Lake means for other HWs angling for a return to form), and why cast friendship bracelets and true intimacy may develop as so many have before - off camera.

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 ways that comparison to "The Simple Life" only tells half the story.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.

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. Inspired to deep dive this even more, she invites over writer and culture commentator Louis Peitzman. They join hands and discuss a Bravoholic's understanding of the Kübler-Ross model of the five stages of grief, the uncertain future of RHOA casting (and why Sarah lives in a town called Hope), and the ways Tamra Judge has created a world of upside down for the rest of her cast (blessed be).

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-host of Virtual Reali-tea). They deep dive like never before, unpacking if the Original Sin for Teresa about Melissa joining RHONJ could be potentially resolved, Evan's day with the cast of RHOC (including group side eye about Ryan), the ways betrayal and trauma may have impacted Gina's reaction to Jennifer's emotional affair (and upset around reactions from the rest of the cast), and the missing piece in weighing the impact of an emotional vs. physical affair.

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 episode: Sarah shares what July 4 means for her family (put on your emotional seatbelts, babes), and answers questions about the past, present, and future of Bravo and Housewives, and some personal queries too!

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. They discuss what loyalty and trust looks like when filming reality TV, Emily's work to provide an environment of emotional security and stability to her children after a difficult childhood, the characteristics Shannon and Dorinda share (ahem), and another installment of AG Theatre, unpacking the different forms of role play between Heather and Taylor.

When talking "And Just Like That," it feels like a miracle to laugh for an hour: and yet that's exactly what happened during this ep. Sarah is joined by past and future AG guest co-host, Samantha Bush (Betches content manager, multi-hyphenate podcaster, and creator of @BravoHistorian) for a deep dive of their origin connections to "Sex and the City," very differing opinions on the levels of toxic energy from Carrie's past paramours (and behind the scenes drama with Kim), the ways the reboot's energy has been re-set according to current cultural dynamics (most especially conversation), and whether it's possible to separate the legacy of the original show from its current New Beginnings era.

So, she takes to the cloff for a deep dive on the dynamics around Housewives branding - and self awareness - and the difficulty of trying to monetize a Housewives persona, what the OG luncheon next week means for any potential returns to form (if not the cast), Marlo's difficult ascendance to her full-time role, and WTF is going on with Kyle and Mauricio.

She's thrilled to be joined in this exploration by AG Classic's guest co-host, writer and Bravoholic Tom Smyth. They discuss the seamless transition many comedic actors have with dramatic work, the sublime experience that is watching Molly Shannon triumph, and the show's 30 Rock-esque pacing.

Inspired by Orange County's return to form, Sarah runs to the farmer's market to pick up nine lemons and a bowl. She places them where Dr. Moon most approves - the cloffice, natch! - where she's joined by another point of healing energy - and Bravoholic analysis - writer Tom Smyth. They discuss the difficulty navigating and connecting to Marlo v. Kandi amidst a difference in how the storyline engages with time, Tamra's orientation for Jen (and a wink to the audience about what she's prepared to give), and seeing RHONY: New Beginnings through a glass half full or empty perspective (Bethenny says it must include Skinnygirl).

Life is Gucci, you guys. So Gucci, and other youthful words stuff. After watching a *solid* episode - meaningful, even - of RHOA, Sarah is inspired to discuss some questions around Kenya's embryo decision, Marlo's optimistic work on de-escalating, and why Shereé is giving Kyle Richards energy (a compliment! Truly!). She then sits down with Perrie Samotin (Glamour's digital director and host of the podcast "What I Wore When" to discuss Perrie's cover story on Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix, the ways that selection is showing mainstream media about reality TV's influence and value, critiques that Raquel's birth mother is sharing about Ariana (but not Tom), and the gender politics around a woman's rage.

Sarah receives a RHONJ-style spoof call, which she immediately answers (maybe it's from WWHL and she's being asked to bartend for Shan). She's met with a moment of breathy silence, before being asked if she wants to buy a stockpile of Fabellini pizza ovens - because who needs a margarita pizza when you can have bellini instead. She politely declines the opportunity, for a different slice of heaven - a 900-hour deep dive with OG of the AG Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and cohost of the podcast "You Might Know Her From.") They settle into the cloffice for a zesty and spirited deep dive of how Pump Rules and RHONJ might adapt to cast members refusing to film with each other, the ways conversation about Teresa often infantilizes her (and why agency is key), and the level of reality vs reality tv behind Marlo v. Kandi and Shan v. Tamra.

Namaste, bitches. After a wildly cringe third part of the RHONJ finale, Sarah girds her loins for Franklin Lakes' future ahead. The only way to process what happened is to discuss, so Sarah unpacks the reasons the battle between Melissa and Tre doesn't really involve Melissa herself, why John Fuda is America's Sweetheart (apologies to Evan), Luis' concerning activation and why his history seems to align with the current chaos, the true meaning underneath Dolores' STFU response, and why uncertainty around Luis is inhibiting the cast. And yes, a meditative sound bath to restore love and light to RHONJ (and us).

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.

"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.

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.

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 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. Happy Easter and Pesach, Ramadan Mubarak, and consider this convo a holiday treat - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 401!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.
