Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

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. Dolores loved this episode, because she's a big fan of both charity and jokes about balls - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 301!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 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.

Inspired by OG of the AG classic eps - when cocktails were made and expletives were flung - Sarah invites OG of the AG Damian Bellino (writer, producer, cohost of the pod "You Might Know Her From") to record IRL on the new People's People's Couch. 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.

Inspired by Marysol's season-long Jenny from the Block drinking accoutrement, Sarah bedazzles her fave Shan-inspired Starbucks glass ("because this isn't my cup you effing b"), and welcomes her first guest back to the (new!) People's People's Couch - Rafi D'Angelo, writer behind soletstalkabout.com, and future Shan Stan (maybe not). They discuss the difference between emotional intelligence and Tre's guttural instinct on RHONJ, reassessing Lisa's agency in choosing to stay with Lenny on Miami, and Sarah and Rafi's similar reaction to Dr. Jen's dinner drunkenness (it may not be what you think).

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.

Sarah locks herself in the cloffice, armed with a Zion producer, boom mic, and list of grievances about former Hinge DMs, as she 'privately monologues' (....) about various third dates for 700 hours, until she realizes she's actually on Instagram Live (hi baby gorgeous!). 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.

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.

It's a post-Sarah-had-COVID spectacular! Sarah awakens from her 'think positive and test negative until you test positive and think negative' viral slumber (filled with dreams of her romping about with Archie Beador), for a sure-to-go-viral AG kiki with America's Sweetheart, and top two contender for fave OG of the AG, Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From"). They sit on the People's People's (Zoom) Couch for a post-quarantine catchup about the cost of fame (and family) upon joining Housewives (and Jen's gamble on both counts), the ways that the universal Housewives storyline of 'fraudulent' marriages/friendships has been impeded by financial/criminal enterprise (and what Miami's blockbuster reboot says about a possible return to form), and what Noella's already-complicated entry to the show means for her future on OC.

Ho ho ho, did Erika know? With Christmas rapidly approaching (or as Sarah calls it, the National Day of Self-Gifting thankyousomuchHanukkahHarryandalsoMastercard), Sarah welcomes back a true holiday treat - no, not a beachside vacay with Archie and Shan - an open and vulnerable convo about Housewives psych with Vox senior editor, Rachel Miller (author, "The Art of Showing Up: How to Be There for Yourself and Your People"). They discuss RHONY's potentially homoerotic sensibilities examined through a queer lens, the difference between representation and expression, and Mary and Jen's binding standards for 'true' friendship on Salt Lake City.

They discuss a possible formulation behind why certain Bravolebs become personal faves, whether Heather and Shannon are the "oil and vinegar" of OC (thanks, Tre), and Alexia's possibly-surprising star turn on the Miami reboot.

Sarah signs up for family therapy, after sending Shannon a cameo request that included the requested copy "please agree that we're family" and "so...lunch?" Thrilled after Shan sends a 9 minute video of Archie napping instead, she Zooms up another Bravoholic with ties to the OC, Veronica Leventhal (Bravoholic fan who works in forensics social work and criminal justice). They discuss Veronica's journey from a Bravo viewer to someone discussed by members of the OC cast, whether or not NY can re-set as successfully as Orange County (and the changing valuation around polarizing personalities), the ripple effect trauma of Jen's arrest, and whether Shan stirs the pot, or steps in it.

Invigorated by a refreshing, delightful, dramatic, and surprising turn on Orange County - meaning of course, Shannon's high pony accoutrement - Sarah books an appt with whichever stylist Dr. Moon says is best for her mind, and Zooms up an iconic truth teller of all things Madame Storms Beador, and a man who knows himself a People's People's Couch: actor, producer, director, and "People's Couch" star, Emerson Collins. They discuss how Shannon would fare as a Myers Briggs personality type for Housewives, the surprising role reversal during Shane and Emily's nuanced conversation about faith, and why Lisa Barlow is a community theatre LVP.

Sarah hops a PJ to Vail, excited to infuriate Mary long enough to receive a Chanel wardrobe, until her captain says they don't have enough pre-paid gas to cross Laguardia. After offering to eat dairy to no avail, she heads back to the People's People's Couch for a spiritual snow day (not so fast, ladies night at Beautique) with one of her fave authors and Bravoholics, Gabrielle Bluestone (Emmy-nominated producer of Netflix's Fyre documentary and author of HYPE: How Scammers, Grifters, and Con Artists are Taking Over the Internet - and Why We're Following). They discuss the difference between 'facts' and proof in Meredith's mind, friendship as the ultimate Housewives grift, and a 1950s social experiment that helps explain Housewives' strategic majority rule.

Sarah celebrates another night of Hanukkah by opening the greatest gift of all - the premiere episode of Orange County, welcoming back fellow menorah holder and homeowner of what looks like a 750 room mega-sized Ritz Carlton in Aspen, Heather Dubrow (we are truly blessed). And who better to unpack such a porte cochère covered present, than one of Sarah's favorite people and guests - Brian Moylan, President and Founder of the Real Housewives Institute, New York Times bestselling author ("The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives"), contributor on the recent ABC News/Hulu doc about Jen Shah, and host of The Dipp's holiday podcast, "The Twelve Gays of Christmas." Agreeing to disagree on 107% of the topics discussed (a new goal on the pod!), they explore lessons Porsha and Kyle could learn about post-Housewives generational success by way of Nene and Bethenny's examples, what the current Renaissance period for Housewives means for its future, and what - if any - responsibility the network and its audience share for combining entertainment with unfolding criminal case storylines.

Sarah drives to Chateau salon in Franklin Lakes, excited to meet Santa Claus during his "Cop Without a Badge" book signing. After discovering the spa is out of books, tables, and with a 'discerning' 'friend' of 'Danielle' outside, Sarah high tails it back to NYC and the security blanket of a true Bravo stan - Justin Anderson (celebrity colorist, co-founder of the haircare brand dpHUE, and co-star on Very Cavallari).

She is joined by Richie Skye (entertainment journalist and pop culture expert) as they discuss vulnerabilities on and off podcasts, the difference between story and storylines, and the complex narrative around colorism and accountability on Potomac.

Ramotional now more than ever, she Zooms up a return guest to the People's People's Couch, and honorary PhD in Potomac in Salt Lake City, Joel Kim Booster (actor, comedian, writer, and Bassett Hound). They discuss the difference between denial and silence regarding Jen vs Mary's 'creative cash flows,' whether Lisa's efforts to discuss Mary's church have been influenced by last season's Bad Weather, and why one of Andy's questions to Candiace should have also been asked of a certain BH Housewife.

Sarah draws herself a bath, Meredith Marks style (fully pruned after 6 hours of waiting for camera crews). She realizes her personality is bubbly enough without some extra suds, and realizes what she really needs is a shower of insight (go with it). So she Zooms up one of her all-time faves, writer, podcaster (Shut Up Evan, Drop Your Buffs), Gizelle Bryant historian, and the Doris Kearns Goodwin of Bravo, Evan Ross Katz. They discuss the ways Candiace is viewed more harshly in the eyes of the public and less harshly in the eyes of her mind, where Meredith's reaction to Jen's shocking arrest lands on the performative/iconique spectrum, and Evan shares a voice note from an Emmy-winning Bravoholic celeb about the fashion on Salt Lake.

And who answers her Bravo bat call but Sarah's fave Bravoholic BFF, a bubble bath for the soul, a multimillion dollar Vail promotional consideration kind of pal, and someone who would never need to steal an $800 green clutch from Meredith's store because his takes make you green with envy (s/o RHONJ!), Dylan Hafer (content manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pods Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches).

Sarah hits the comedy circuit in NYC, excited to discover more laughable reasons Bravo may keep Ramona. In between sets by famed comedians Sonja Morgan and Joe Gorga, she runs into a true stand up icon: comedian and co-host of the pod Ruined, Alison Leiby. They discuss the presumption of innocence Erika is demanding while in turn refusing to extend to Tom's victims, opposing views on the impact of Kyle Richards' production power, and 3-6 seconds on Salt Lake.

Sarah hears about the newest Housewives franchise, and attempts to sign up for a nonexistent Bravo Amazing Race, in order to potentially fly over filming in Dubai. Undeterred after both corporate and Visa debit tell her this is non negosh, she jets to her other happy place instead - a discussion of MVP Housewives with the hosts of the pod "Come Thru Queen," Dan Calabrese and Brendan Davis. They explore the market value of Kyle Richards, star of screen and screen (ya know, movies and tv), why Dan and Brendan's picks for the top 10 most valuable Housewives include erasure of some historic OGs, and whether or not Jennie and Duy's disconcerting conversations about expanding their family may have been influenced by an increased need for storyline behind the scenes.

Distraught over news of Dorit's upsetting break-in, Sarah blocks Edwin's phone number (...kidding) and hides in her shoes (it's a joke, Teddi. The vitamins in carrots add humor). Feeling the need to find comfort on the People's People's Couch, Sarah Zooms up Youtuber - and former TomTom employee! - Adam Coy Newell. They explore the nuanced navigation writing about Housewives, the connection between performative wealth and Kim Kardashian and Dorit's deeply troubling robberies, and an exclusive clip from the AG Live special ep, featuring a chat with Dallas Housewife Dr. Tiffany Moon.

Absolutely feeling Zen Wen after the sold-out Andy's Girls Live (ep coming next week!), Sarah wraps Bravoholic Appreciation Week the best way she knows how - with two of her absolute fave Bravo content creators, Abby and Vanessa from the pod and IG account Real Moms of Bravo. They discuss what Rinna's reaction to Amelia and Scott's breakup says about her capacity for non-performative personal storylines, the ways Erika's reaction to Tom's crimes is more about her 'hope' than 'belief,' and whether Candiace's delayed-empathy about Mia's childhood is really a next-gen echo of her mom.

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

Sarah watches the new Potomac and immediately Venmos her therapist a bonus since the only topics she plans to discuss concern Candiace, Mia, and their moms. After being told said therapist doesn't watch Bravo and prefers something called 'magazines,' Sarah immediately blocks her, buys shoes, and Zooms up Bravoholic bliss: a Potomac-heavy AG kiki with Team Monique whisperer, Danielle Prescod (author, podcast host, and DEI consultant). They explore the many layers navigating Candiace's sensitivity training ('don't have none, won't be none'), Wendy's work ascending the Housewives Inc corporate ladder one single-wicked candle at a time, and what the women of Salt Lake City understand about independent streams of income for independent women. Eating your greens is almost as important as spending them, and Andy's Girls Live is the perfect supplement- it's Andy's Girls, Episode 257!

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

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

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

En route to LA to get Lisa Rinna's friendship bracelet surgically removed, Sarah watches the Potomac Reasonably Shady ep and realizes the only thing unreasonable would be missing the chance to unpack this perfect scene. She Zooms up one of her fave IG content creators - a Bravo investigative translator like no other - @BravoBravoDuckingBravo. They discuss the ways that Askala and Mia are further strengthening the Potomac playing field (while turning on each other), the ways that Rinna is strategically refusing to take accountability for anything but being the 'perfect' friend (to Erika alone), and whether the Fox Force Yada could ever split their majority vote. Watch out diamonds and rosé, here comes Delta middle aisle - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 253!
