Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Sarah takes a walk down Madison Ave and runs into the entirety of Jen Shah's courtroom defense (an empty shopping bag littering the ground outside Dior). Thrilled with such a historic find (it's both worthless AND empty! Much like Rinna on social), Sarah runs back to the cloffice to kiki with her fave expert witness, and Bravo bestie, Dylan Hafer (manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pods Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss Andy's reaction to Jen's guilty plea and the likely whiplash energy of Salt Lake City S3, the problems with Diana's anti-improv instincts in her battle against Sutton, and what Caroline Brooks' dinner theatre performance has in common with Cherry Jones' role on Succession.

Sarah hears breaking news about Jen Shah's change of plea and races to the best place to mention it all, the Real Housewives Institute Reality Television Arts and Sciences study hall Zoom (admission: intelligence, je ne sais quoi/chic c'est la vie, and Dame as your honorific), where she meets up with the man, the myth, the legend, Dame Brian Moylan (author of the New York Times bestseller "The Housewives: The Real Story About Real Housewives," now out in paperback, creator of Vulture's Housewives Institute bulletin newsletter, and Sarah's personal lord and savior including when they scream at each other about Erika and Kyle). Dames Moylan and Galli react to Jen's shocking guilty plea and the reasons people with the most to hide choose to live their lives on camera, why alcohol is not an excuse for boundary crossing (and apologies), and yes, an intense exploration of the Fox Force Four's idea of selective accountability and silence.

Sarah realizes an additional side effect of her 3mg of nightly sleep aid is the nightmare of watching advance clips of this week's RHOBH days before the ep. She comforts herself - and her emotionally-exhausted state - the best way she knows how, by Zooming up one of her fave content creators, and a teller of truths, Samantha Bush (staff writer, The Dipp, creator of @BravoHistorian, and host of the pod 'Hot Off The Mess'). They discuss the ways Kyle stumbles trying to be Johnny Carson when she's really Ed McMahon, the Fox Force's confusing spin of Erica's inappropriate boundary crossing, and why Girls Trip could truly be renamed "Dorinda in the Shadows."

Sarah reads Diana's viral-in-all-the-worst-ways "Dear Garcelle" post on IG and immediately goes to her safe space (carbs and Hulu Plus). Feeling a spiritual triage is in order, she Zooms up one of her fave truth tellers and Bravoholics, a 4-time Olympian in mentioning it all, Erica Cobb (co-host, Daily Blast Live, host, 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' available on Ebony Podcast Network). They explore what's really behind Diana's deep seated anger against Garcelle, Lisa Rinna's inflexibility of thought, and what Dorinda's 'banana bread muffin with a dash of sadism' brunch says about her instinct to punish when she reacts.

Sarah puts on a knitted pussy hat she purloined from Carole's mom at the DC Women's March (what, they were all aglow with lady patriotism, and Sarah wanted RHONY swag), and decides a Bechdel test-approved episode is most certainly in order. So she Zooms up a writer girl featured on last week's BH, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the podcast Pot Psychology, proprietor of pipedreams.fun, and bee/cucumber truther). They discuss the ways that alcohol has been used as an invitation to escalate on Girl's Trip and underplay on Bev Hills, a coastal war over Housewife intellectual acumen, and Tracie's continued confusion over Diana's 'coffee table book' years after her viral Jezebel piece.

Sarah wakes up to another day in hell aka America aka seasons 15 and 13 of OC and NY. She turns to the only safe space that will distract her from the news cycle: the new season of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex Wives Club (it rolls off the tongue!). She Zooms up one of her Bravo besties, the multi-hyphenate James LaRosa (creator, writer, director, show runner, and ultimate truth teller about what to do when Vicki says "hi"), for a wide ranging convo about RHUGT, including whether being challenged is Dorinda's ultimate trigger, Brandi's unwillingness to choose personal growth, and the cancel culture that surrounds Sarah's reaction to Jill's Scary Island-inspired entry to the show.

It's Pride Month, and there's no better way to celebrate than asking one of Sarah's Bravo besties, journalist and drag queen Ryan Houlihan, over to her rainbow-colored cloffice, where the LGBTQIA+ and ally communities meet weekly to bemoan the entirety of Lisa Rinna (bringing people together! It's what she's known for best). They discuss the value structure of Housewives notoriety vs fame, how to process sympathy and empathy to problematic Housewives, and the difference between clout chasing and ally collecting on ATL.

Sarah watches the new BH and realizes the entire ep is based on the beginning of a Jeopardy response: "who is/what is/where am I." Completely flustered by a confluence of inconsistency that is now leading to chaos, she immediately invites one of her fave Bravoholic/workaholic pals to the cloffice, Christine Biancavilla, for a deep dive of who/what/where/when/why. They explore the intention behind Crystal's apology, why some cast members get the benefit of the doubt while others do not, and Erika's warped sense of "girl power."

Sarah films a 15-min Youtube influencer-style apology, atoning to RHOA for not giving it the PROPER POD TIME it DESERVES. She shows her appreciation the best way she knows how, by inviting one of Marlo's sassiest superfans over to the cloffice, Gibson Johns (host of In The Know's podcast "We Should Talk"). They discuss whether or not Marlo is referencing second season curse energies in her tension with Kandi and Kenya, how Sheree's relationship with Tyrone speaks to the larger question around boundaries and power in unbalanced dating dynamics, and what the reunion may reveal about Ralph (if he shows up).

Sarah discovers that Bravo has announced a new show about young Americans in Paris, and immediately begins a one-woman-strike of Bravo content (c'est lol) to secure a role on S2, until she realizes that the second best impact is to, ya know, double down on RHOBH. So she Zooms up a Bravo pal with a French-sounding handle (c'est bon c'est bon!), Priscilla from @BonjourBitchesBlog and the merch shop @feministcringe. They unpack the ways that social media, WWHL reveals, and alliances are impacting and confusing on-camera storylines, the tension between potentially ignoring problematic behavior and potentially hiding problematic footage, and the secondhand embarrassment of Erika's ongoing attempts to paint herself as a victim of Sutton's honesty. Bravo likely has the footage that would put Tahoe-gate to rest, and it's prob locked in the same production closet as that boat ride in Cartagena - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 317!$15 TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR ANDY'S GIRLS: LIVE FROM THE CLOFFICE, AG's first-ever virtual show, on Thursday, 6/23, at 8:30pm EST.

Order in the Court! (not so quickly, Kam). Sarah invites one of her fave social media journalists to adjudicate a wild week of Housewives for the People's People's Court, none other than Kiki Monique aka @TheTalkofShame (professional talker, CEO of deep dives, and host of the podcast I'm Sorry with Lemonada Media). They pregame their hopes about covering Jen Shah's upcoming...federal spinoff, and explore getting to the root of mistrust and adultery on Housewives, and whether reality tv can push forth radical honesty, the ways Drew's business model may be closer to Sonja Morgan's toasters than All In, and the reasons Teddi has replaced Danielle as Sarah's #1 Housewives trigger (a baby carrot minus the carrot, need she say more/absolutely).

Hot off the heels of Dubai's scorching premiere, Sarah cools off the best way she knows how: by Amazon Priming a $12 ice cub tray she'll throw in her shower (just like the new Real Housewives!), and inviting one of her Bravo besties over to the cloff: The Caroline Brooks to her Caroline Stanbury (aka also Caroline Brooks), Dylan Hafer (manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pods Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They throw on some sunglasses indoors, and explore Dylan's reaction to the choice of Dubai as a LGBTQ content creator, Erika's false equivalency of 'bad friendship' according to herself vs Sutton, and the multifaceted and complicated reaction to "problematic" storylines.

Sarah continues to convalesce from her medical mishigoss the best way she knows how: by Google Imaging SUR's goat cheese balls (see, things could always be worse!), and Zooming up one of her fave content creators, a spiritual PhD in all things RHOBH, @BravoBravoDuckingBravo. They explore Bravo's inconsistent history of casting research (and what, if anything, Jenny's social media has done to shift a Housewife's interview process), the sensitive nature discussing Dubai's franchise location pick, and what Lisa Rinna appears to gets right about seeking excitement from doing harm (super villains united, says Erika Jayne).

It's an Andy's Girls triage episode spectacular! Sarah nearly dies (and no, not just because tickets aren't yet on sale for Bravocon) and celebrates the second coming of pulsating sass the best way she knows how - by Zooming up one of her Bravo BFFs, news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They explore the disconcerting future of Beverly Hills friendships thanks to an overwhelming Fox Force, why Erika Jayne's play for victimhood against Sutton is a race to the bottom of the entertainment barrel, and what Kyle gets wrong about empathy (and age).

Sarah buys a table at Elton John's favorite Starbucks on La Brea (what? that's not the same thing as seats at a gala?), and messages Lisa and Harry to fill two seats. After being informed Rinna already reserved standing-room-only at the Dunkin Donuts in Brentwood, Sarah calls up one of her fave venti spillers of tea, a man who loves to share his AG Q2 quarterly report, Emerson Collins (actor, producer, director, and star of "The People's Couch"). They Zoom-sit on the People's People's Couch and explore Teresa's inability to process forgiveness as anything but as a sign of weakness, the hypocrisy surrounding Kyle and Sutton's conversation about empathy for Dorit, and Erika's misdirected rage.

It's time to really focus on healing the environment - the one in Franklin Lakes. So Sarah eye rolls past Chekhov's Cherry Orchard, throws The Giving Tree in the trash, and Zooms up one of her fave seedlingTre Huggers, Christian Gray Snow (host of the Slut Pig podcast and owner of the Slut Pig Shop on Etsy) for a Giudice-style Google Translate. They discuss a sociological study of Tre standom, valuing conflict engagement vs personal high-stakes storylines, and the differences between a Househusband's passive discomfort with production vs active disinterest in marriage (paging Lenny Hochstein).

Sarah feels an extra jolt of energy after another season upon us (stfu spring/summer, she means RHOBH!). In celebration, Sarah buys a child's admission ticket (Ageless by Ramona, ammiright) to the Real Housewives Institute, in order to mention it all with its founder and president (and New York Times bestselling author) Brian Moylan. Just a couple of dames, disagreeing about Erika Jayne. They discuss the ways that Housewives has made viewers better media consumers and critical thinkers, the difference between changing one's character and revealing it, and questions around questioning Dorit's response to trauma.

Sarah hops in one of Chris Manzo's dancer/car wash Uber Pools and heads to the Brownstone for turtle time with a dame who appreciates the fine art of Mafioso-style Housewives whose horoscope is extra leopard, tv writer Alex Zaragoza. They discuss the connection between family boundaries and communication incapability on NJ and Atlanta, the lessons Ralph and Drew could learn about choosing their marriage over (inappropriate relationships with) friends from an iconic reunion on Married to Med, and the difficult ways reality tv can weaponize vulnerability as ‘a price of admission.’ Sarah may not be into financial literacy, but that's just because she's watched a lot of Bev Hills - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 309!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.

They discuss the difference between respecting the legacy of NY Housewives and creating fresh content, the impact of a patriarchal structure in how Teresa views Melissa and her future sisters-in-law, and Teresa's struggle to understand self-determination when it involves opinions different from her own.

Sarah watches the effervescent Atlanta season premiere, and celebrates what looks like a fantastic season the best way she knows how - by sending Marlo's billionaire beau a 9 bajillion Venmo request, and using a portion of the funds to buy Marlo a company name that works in French. She realizes she has a few bajillion left to spare, and flies herself on Louie's (imaginary) tantrum PJ to Zoom in the clouds with one of her fave return guests, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times best-selling author of "I Can't Date Jesus" and its follow-up "I Don't Want to Die Poor." They discuss the job of an editor versus therapist when it comes to Teresa's explosive defensiveness, whether Kenya has passed the 'villain' baton to Marlo (and why Sanya's winning the race of being a terrific addition to the cast), and the difference between present vs past tense with regard to how Marlo vs Sonja present wealth.

Sarah (allegedly) watches part 2 of the OC reunion and thinks, ya know what I need right now, more than anything? Entertainment! Tonight! So she settles into the cloffice and Zooms up her fave Bravoholic from ET HQ, Brice Sander. They explore questions of emotional capacity that Erika Jayne and Teresa may share, the psychology behind Housewife fandoms (and why it's so often connected with a need for validation from their favored star), the difficulty when nuances are removed from "good vs evil" Housewife archetypes, and why Noella is a prime example of why the riskiest casting decision might be a Housewife who doesn't know who she is.

They discuss the influence Heather and Teresa have over production (and why one is winning the edit battle while the other quasi-flails), the differences between Teresa and Nene's disconnections from their respective casts, and whether Marg has regret for considering Teresa a woman capable of friendship trust.

Sarah returns from her week-long stay at one of Sonja Morgan's numerous silent retreat but double treatment island locales, tan (no), wearing paisley (never/how dare you even suggest), and with the brand new Beverly Hills trailer as her carry-on (the very first thing to unpack). So she opens up the cloffice to her Bravo bestie, a man who knows a wee bit about mentioning it all - since, ya know, it's the name of one of his pods - Dylan Hafer (manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the podcasts Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle into the cloff, surrounded by all of life's spiritual necessities (Manolos and vintage lace), and explore the complicated (and limiting) choice to silence Housewives discourse because of a difference in political ideology, whether Summer House is better equipped to handle delicate and complex conversations because of a generational vs situational environment, and what the Beverly Hills trailer reveals about Erika's disconcerting apathy toward victims of Tom's fraud. Lisa Rinna may have eaten Kathy's half-diamond, but in her defense (lol) doesn't that sound like the perfect lunch - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 302!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 takes an Uber Pool (RIP?) to New Jersey, determined to leave Chris Manzo a single rose outside the Brownstone. En route she picks up devout Jersey observer - just replace "Patti Issues" with Tre, and you've got yourself a monologue - Ben Rimalower (writer, performer, and director of Countess and Friends). They head to Caface for some blowouts and brass(y roots), and discuss the difference between perception and reality during Ben's collaborations with Luann, Bethenny, and Teresa, the ways Tre vs. Marg is analog vs. digital, and why the previous season hair pull may be the foundation of their war.

Sarah heads to the mikvah to cleanse herself of podcast tech, until she realizes the best precursor to AG 300 is with a solo ep exploring complicated figures in Housewives. So she pulls up a chair in the cloffice and mentions it all: the differences between 'spiritual Housewives' and a framework of understanding, the similarities between Shan v Gina and Lu v Bethenny, how Jen Aydin's friendship with Tre may come at the cost of her own personal growth, and the tightrope Dolores walks trying to translate everything to everyone.

With the cloffice nearly complete, Sarah celebrates her "redone home" as only Melissa and Tre would - by buying herself sprinkle cookies and then throwing them in the trash. She opens the doors to #clofftalk with one of her fave guests, actor and entertainment writer for TheGrio, Jared Alexander. They discuss the lack of breakup boundaries for Dolores and David (and why they're deserved), what Eboni's recent remarks about Ramona means for a future cast, and Shannon's low key power on OC (even if she doesn't recognize it, along with her cast).

In full preparation for AG 300 (tix link below, cough cough), Sarah tries to book a ticket to Warrior beach, until she's told her rage about Danielle Staub's behavior S2-beyond isn't enough of a reason to attend. Undeterred, she finds an even better safe space in which to express her thoughts and feels - Zooming up her fave SLC scholar, Lauren Ashley Smith (Emmy--nominated TV writer and producer, and a co-host on Smith Sisters Live on Sirius XM Radio Andy). They discuss what Katie and Tom's divorce announcement reveals about a reality tv social contract, Teresa's possibly conflicting primal desires as a wife (soon to be!) and mom, and why Lisa's processing skill makes her the Olivia Pope of Salt Lake City.

Sarah checks in to her weekly Tuesday meeting at Housewives Anonymous (catered by Caroline Manzo's chef brother Jamie, party planned by Jen Gilbert). She's thrilled to recognize a new member at the meeting of the minds, and a Salt Lake City scholar, Fran Tirado (writer, tv/film maker, and host of the new podcast Like A Virgin!). Sparks fly - and not just because LVP and Ken are smoking outside - as they discuss potential reasons behind the differing on-and-off-screen questions of culpability between Erika Jayne vs Jen Shah, what Duy gets very wrong about project managing his wife's physical and emotional trauma, and the impact of Mormon culture on Heather's full throated support of Jen.

They break open a few bottles of prosecco - or as Sonja calls it, Amalfi yacht water - as they discuss whether Lisa is a trigger for Heather's religious/cultural shunning, the iffy choice of including Jennie's remarks about Mary in absentia, and whether personality politics have helped protect Jen Shah from accountability vs her cast.

People's People's Couch - Rafi D'Angelo, writer behind soletstalkabout.com, and future Shan Stan (maybe not).

Sarah sneaks out of Mary's closet after a day of charity work (introducing herself to Mary as "Charity," and asking for 6 Chanels), and hops on a Zoom with her fave duo breaths of fresh air, and noted Housewives empaths, Brendan Davis and Dan Calabrese (hosts of the pod "Come Thru Queen"). They discuss what a future RHONJ without Tre could look like (and if her protests about filming Louie plot are planting a future Tre-less seed), the complicated narrative of assuming Mary's intentions in absentia, and the possibility of a future Housewife/Housedaughter sharing full-time roles on a show.

Disinformation is one of Russia’s favorite weapons of war, and accidentally amplifying it can harm civilians. Another easy step is to donate money. Most large international aid organizations, including UNICEF, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the International Committee of the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and the International Rescue Committee, are currently working in Ukraine and neighboring countries, where a growing number of displaced people are fleeing.Here are a few local/grassroots organizations who are accepting online donations:Voices of Children is a Ukraine-based aid organization that provides psychological support to children who have witnessed war. It uses art therapy and storytelling to support children’s wellbeing, and provides financial support to families who have suffered as a result of war.The International Rescue Committee has a long history of providing resources to refugees fleeing countries facing humanitarian crisis. Its leaders have responded to the situation in Ukraine by meeting with organizations in Poland and Ukraine to gauge the potential number of refugees and their needs so it can quickly mobilize and provide whatever assistance is needed. You can make a donation via its website. While the organization will accept donations of any size, it states on the site that a monthly donation of $108 will provide eight families with temporary shelter.Vostok SOS, which is also based in Ukraine, partners with German-Swiss NGO Liberico to provide immediate evacuation support to Ukrainians attempting to flee their homes. Vostok maintains a hotline for Ukrainians in need and, going forward, hopes to provide trauma support to victims of the Russian invasion.Malteser International, a nonprofit based in Malta, has been collecting “everyday” supplies for Ukrainians who have been forced to flee their homes. “What is especially needed are everyday medicines, as well as cots, blankets, food, and cash to provide for the many people affected,” Oliver Hochedez, head of Malteser International’s emergency relief department, said in a public statement.Sunflower of Peace was started five years ago as a fundraiser to provide backpacks with first aid and medical supplies to front-line doctors, and is currently providing backpacks to Ukrainian soldiers, citizens, and volunteers. According to its fundraising information, “Each backpack is designed for groups of 5 to 10 people and includes a variety of first aid supplies: bandages, anti hemorrhagic medicine like Quikclot and Celox, medical instruments, and a means for survival in extreme conditions.” Donate through the fundraising page on Facebook. Revived Soldiers Ukraine funds medication and medical supplies for field and army hospitals at the front lines of eastern Ukraine. It was founded in 2016 and has since brought 50 wounded Ukrainian soldiers to U.S. hospitals for care. How you can help: The organization’s president, Iryna Vashchuk Discipio, said they urgently need monetary donations to buy medication and to repair a car used to rush injured soldiers away from the front lines.BStrong, founded by Bethenny Frankel, provides emergency assistance to people in crisis, in partnership with Global Empowerment Mission. They've committed to $10M in aid distribution to help those affected in Ukraine, in addition to on-the-ground support. Donate here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sarah hitches a ride with her folks to the local food court, equal parts inspired by Lisa Barlow's finale party, and intrigued by what life in the 80s/90s must have been like (she is, after all, very young). She stops by and picks up one of her fave fountains of youth, whose laugh is as iconic as her own, Daniel Stokes (Bravoholic and culture programs lead at Brex). They open up some Dunkaroos and Capri Sun, and unpack the challenge second season Housewives face of falling into trope behavior, Jennie's role as her own personal hype woman, when microaggressions turn macro between Jennie and Mary, and how SLC alliances may shift following the reunion into Season 3.

Sarah plants a tree in Zion in memory of every cast member but Meredith and Mary having forgotten Jen's federal indictment is hey, maybe a tad more important to discuss than Mr. Marks' shiva, after which she retires under its delightful shade for a shade-filled ep. She's joined by the absolute treasure that is Chris Murphy (comedian, staff writer at Vanity Fair, and co-author of VF's "Real Housewives: A Beginner's Guide") to discuss Mary's standing as "the funniest woman in America," what Meredith and Lisa's fight says about the complicated dynamics when female friendships fall apart, whether Lisa's accusations about infidelity are influenced by her Mormon culture, and why Jen is actively listening to unrealistic gossip about Meredith's history with the FBI, but not Stu.

Sarah celebrates the magical premiere of RHONJ - what better term for the absolute spell Luis/"Louie" has over Tre - by buying a gift certificate to Chateau, and leaving an extra copy of Danielle's fave tome ("Beverly to Beverly: Please Call Me Danielle") outside the door. Overwhelmed with excitement about discussing NJ and NY, she calls one of her faves for a Northeast-specific special ep, Erica Cobb (co-host of Daily Blast Live and host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show). They explore the "inside out" vs "outside in" criticism of Eboni's time on RHONY, the difference between traditional 'love bombing' and Louie's history of toxic romantic relationships, and the uneven pursuit of respect that Gia demands toward her dad but not her uncle Joe.

Undeterred by the Big Lisa Energy, she meets up with the Marks to her Barlow, the Brooks to her Wild Stallion Body Wash Fresh Bear Soap (please tell the Barlow Boys to work on branding after homework), Ryan Houlihan (senior gaming editor, inputmag.com). They discuss Meredith's selective silence around friendship accountability on and off camera, the ways Heather and Whitney's pack mentality and selective morality have be influenced by restrictive religious and cultural environments, and whether confidences between former BFFs should still be kept.

After creating a shoe box cut out version of Sonja's toaster oven (...where is it tho), Sarah searches wildly for the best GF paleo vegan bagel in NYC (what, like this is a big ask), until she realizes there's only one person to ask: IG's official bagel influencer, Kiki Monique (aka @TheTalkOfShame, and host of the podcast I'm Sorry, with Lemonada Media). They take a bite out the Mercury in retrograde-style craziness that is the Bravo universe this week, and discuss what Jennie's "special presentation" revealed about Bravo's possibly cursory casting process, the importance of separating political parties from racist acts (and why Jennie's response was the perfect example of how to get *everything* wrong), the differences between engaging content and absolute chaos on Salt Lake, and possibly surprising thoughts on whether they'd ever join Housewives.

Sarah takes Kevin's sprinter van to Zion in order to reflect on her top 5 Housewives (Shannon, Archie, and Archie, Archie, and Shan), until she reaches her peak-engaged moment of Zen (the ability to count the number of times Meredith left and then immediately returned to that dining table chaos). She Zooms up one of her fave spiritual advisors on culture and more, Matt Rogers (actor, comedian, television host, and the host of the iconic pod "Las Culturistas"). They discuss the difference between a b-story and beta Housewife, the ways RHONJ is built around a patriarchal structure, and share details on recent convos with SLC Housewives which have influenced their perspectives on network silence about Jennie's racism. This ep is so good the women of SLC are going to release mostly muddled statements about "finding the light" - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 282!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO THE AG LIVE FULL EPISODE, BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirls Learn more about your ad choices.

Spiraling into a puddle of WTF after a wild week of headlines in the Bravo sphere ("JENNIE POSTED WHAT?" - pages 1-10), Sarah takes herself to a spiritual mikvah (aka a Mikvah), for a very necessary cleansing for the soul and also ears and eyes, by Zooming up one of her fave tellers of truth and an IG safe space for all, B. Graeter aka Petshopboy (content creator and host of the podcast, The B List). They discuss taking a critical eye to Jennie's reunion strategy in light of this week's shocking social media reveal, Dr. Nicole's Ashley Darby energy (we stan!), and what makes a good Housewives spinoff (bcc: Porsha et al).

Sarah hitches a ride to Salt Lake City, determined to set up an AG HQ in Mary's abandoned - and possibly condemned? - church, until she hears the voice of God (Manolo Blahnik), telling her to settle into the cloffice for an epic Zoom with one of her close friends and/or random acquaintances - when he talks about Shan, for whom he does not stan - James LaRosa (a multi-hyphenate writer, producer, director, creator, show runner, and aspiring Real Housewife). They settle into the spiritual People's People's Couch for a wide ranging discussion about why Whitney keeps fighting for a one-sided friendship/moment of accountability with Mary, Jen's inability to process filters and boundaries as anything but signs of weakness, and the difference between scripting and self producing on Orange County. Meredith may have left this convo as soon as Brooks was mentioned, but everyone else is fully clothed and very engaged - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 280!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO THE AG LIVE FULL EPISODE, BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirls Learn more about your ad choices.

Sarah hears that back row mezzanine seats have become available for Jen Shah's upcoming trial, and immediately contacts the SarSquad (her fish, PK), to arrange for tickets to opening night (it's a limited run/support the arts!). She thinks of no better person to unpack all the baggage associated with Jen's on and off camera work than AG's official legal correspondent, Emily D. Baker (former prosecutor, legal commentator, and the host of The Emily Show). They discuss how Jen's legal future may be impacted by her positioning herself as a victim onscreen, the complicated reality behind Whitney's booby prize (giving Seth a boob cake), and how the pressure of focusing on women's bodies often falls on women to resolve, and why it's important to see Heather as an imperfect person when it comes to the Lisa debate.

Sarah decides that friendship starts at home, so she slides a Zillow link for Gina's casita into Jen's DMs. She then books a little family van (driven by Kevin, natch), and speeds on over to one of her fave friends-of on AG, and an investigative journalist every Housewife should have on speed dial, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, and cohost of the podcast "Pot Psychology"). They discuss what happens when cameras capture ongoing trauma with Alexia's family, the potential impact of Jen's on-screen behavior on her upcoming legal battle, and Meredith's friendship capital with the rest of the cast. If the world never sees Seth licking an edible birthday boob ever again, it will be too soon, but this convo is just in time - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 278!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO THE AG LIVE FULL EPISODE, BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirls Learn more about your ad choices.

Sarah arrives to Chateau Dubrow with a map provided by Noella and a warrant for receipts tucked into a bouquet provided by Sweet James, as she looks for secret footage from Heather's party that a producer may have left in the gifting room. She immediately gets lost in the entryway (who has a foyer connected to a foyer melded with 15 different shades of grey?), but thankfully finds her footing with an epic deep dive alongside content creator and spiritual advisor @BravoBravoDuckingBravo. They discuss the differences between friendship and alliance on Orange County and Salt Lake, the ways that the performative illusion of wealth colors storylines, the impact of trauma on Mary's emotional growth, and reports (since confirmed) that she skipped the reunion. Turns out Adrienne Maloof really does do magic, because her historic absence from a reunion has inspired other Housewives to disappear - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 277!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO THE AG LIVE FULL EPISODE, BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirls Learn more about your ad choices.
