Latest Episodes:

Page Sixth Sense: Part 1 (with Evan Real) Aug 22, 2024

Show notes

Sarah finds out the news that Bennifer is over (again) aka love is dead, and immediately turns into a werewolf and howls at the moon. Thankfully, the moon responds, by sending stars into her DMs. So she invites one of her faves to the cloff: LA transplant making his triumphant return back to NYC, Evan Real (host at Page Six, and co-host of Page Six's pod "Virtual Reali-tea). On part 1 of this two parter, they discuss Evan's Andy Cohen esque transition from senior TV reporter to full-time talent, maintaining relationships with Bravolebs, and what happens when Erika Jayne felt Evan was not deferential enough to collab, the difference between access and alliance (and how one can lead to the appearance of the other), Larsa's Kardashian cosplay, how an audience silent majority impacts the ways franchises are cast (bcc RHONJ), and what Vicki shared about her decision to get plastic surgery, following on-camera shaming from Slade. This ep is a BOGO bonanza, so head on over to the remix now - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 580! Part 1!

Tamra Judge, Jury, and Executioner (with Gibson Johns) Aug 21, 2024

Show notes

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Sarah rejoices in the prestige trailer drop of Salt Lake's upcoming season - one for the ages, blessed be the engaging - and celebrates with a hot cocoa in the icicle-cold cloff (it's still so hot in NYC, 'kinda like that NYC trailer, etc'). Sarah realizes her second round needs to be piping hot tea, so she invites over a Bravoholic pal ready to spill, Gibson Johns (host of the pod "Gabbing with Gib"). They deep dive the questions (and screams) from the SLC drop, how the women on Salt Lake use "the vault," the evolution/estrangements between Meredith and Lisa, Meredith and Mary, Heather and Whitney, and that unnamed 'arch nemesis,' questions about Rebecca Minkoff and whether the show will focus/address her....community sitch, Tamra's continued vendetta against Shan, John's time on iMovie themed around his obsession (punishing Shan), whether Emily has become more of a mean girl since becoming friends with Shan, and the curious pigeon edit in NY. Snowflakes are on the horizon, oranges are providing the freshest juice, and NY is up and coming - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 579!

The Real Housewives of Dubai: Ya Habibi! Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

It's time. Time to wrap up in the warmth of Stanbury's cool wit, throw on 15 foot platform stilettos like Ayan, pretend to be a model of humanity like Fake Dr. Sara, time to begin the second season of Real Housewives of Dubai. Sarah discusses her reasons for initially wanting to demote Dubai to friend-of on her DVR (and why she changed her mind), and reacts to the Season 2 premiere: Ayan's decision to continue/escalate her dramatic looks for filming (and potential pressure she might feel of constantly reaching for new heights, one that could be a distraction/challenge she doesn't need to undertake), Ayan's upset with "Dr." Sara about a "victimizing" narrative, why Ayan and Leesa's upcoming friendship fallout feels similar to Dallas' Brandi and Stephanie, Taleen's energetic entrance (and whether Brooks feels competitive or jealous of her friend's role on the show), and more. Sarah was promised Brooks and Fake Dr. Sara will flop hard, and she's flipping out with excitement - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 578!

What Would Jesus Jugs Do? (with Kiki Monique) Aug 17, 2024

Show notes

After a wild few weeks of Bravo, Sarah realizes she needs a day to chill. So she prepares her preferred kiki - a seltzer spritz with sodium supplements mixed in, obvs - and settles into the People's People's Couch for a night in. But wait, there's an even better Kiki to enjoy - Sarah's Bravoholic pal, Kiki Monique (aka @TheTalkOfShame, host of Reality Checked on Radio Andy and Pop Crime on Betches Media). They hop on a Zoom and have an epic deep dive: Kiki's experience covering Tom Girardi's trial, Alexis and John's obsession with Shan (and their newest threat to publicly humiliate her further), Alexis' manipulation of her 'Christian faith' in order to fight, the ways John is now verging into NJ husbands levels of toxicity, Tamra's attempts to explain her behavior with Shan ("naked wasted," anyone?), and Heather's upset on behalf of her kids. Bravo may not be exactly like OnlyFans, but Ryan says not to tell Jen - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 577!

Bravo's August Era (with Alison Leiby) Aug 15, 2024

Show notes

Sarah takes note of the raging temps outside (as hot as her love for Chris Manzo and Pedro Pascal) and realizes what she really needs in her life, in addition to SPF 900, is a cool-as-a-cucumber convo on the past, present, and future of Bravo TV/Housewives. And who better to discuss the impact of OG RHONY than New York Bravoholic Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined"). They settle into the cloff for a seltzer spritz, and discuss the challenges ahead for NJ's current cast, Jackie's new pod announcement (...lol?), Southern Charm's confusing decision to cut Olivia (upholding the cast patriarchy, not quite as big a shock), the difference between OG RHONY and current Housewives (external world vs. interior world), the ways storytelling used to be shaped by 'society,' which has been replaced on NY by influence/content creation, and Orange County's Crucible vibe. Katie may need to let the mouse go, aka that paparazzi text, and pick up this convo instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 576!

Popping the Love Bubble of a Gorgita Crunch: Part 2 (with Michael Arceneaux) Aug 14, 2024

Show notes

And they're back! On part 2 of this double episode extravaganza, Sarah and AG guest co-host Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author) unpack all things Orange County, with a dash of Atlanta and Dubai! They discuss Tamra vs. Tammy Sue, the difficulty of navigating a job in the 'real world' when it intersects with your gig on reality TV, assumptions about Jen's interest in financial independence (or at least, bettering her knowledge), the joy of watching Heather Dubrow in defense mode, Kenya's exit, and Caroline Brooks' insolence. No need to call the paps about this convo, because an audio file is worth a thousand pics, just don't tell Sarah's Hinge profile - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 575! Part 2!

Popping the Love Bubble of a Gorgita Crunch: Part 1 (with Michael Arceneaux) Aug 14, 2024

Show notes

Sarah sends an early co-pay for therapy, in advance of a NJ non-reunion reunion alternative spiel. It gave so little, and yet there is still more to say. A true miracle, indeed. Another miracle: a double episode with Sarah's Bravoholic pal, New York Times best-selling author, Michael Arceneaux (Jackie, take note). On part 1? NJ, obvs. Sarah and Michael discuss differing opinions on the toxicity scale for NJ husbands and wives, Dolo's perhaps subdued pushback about Luis' "suffering" diatribe, and Teresa's response, whether Tre has capacity for empathy outside of her immediate world, and how that compares with a sense of protectiveness, and why Michael feels Tre may be the key to NJ's future. It's Opposite Day, which explains Sarah typing that last convo point - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 575! Part 1!

Frenemy of the State: Part 2 (with Erica Cobb) Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

It's off to Franklin Lakes! Sarah and AG guest co-host Erica Cobb (co-host of "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP Awards nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb") discuss the not-special special episode of NJ that technically aired: the network's decision to wrap the season, and possibly much of its cast, not with a roar or a whimper but a dull 44 minutes of TV, Teresa's strong hold on Marg as enemy number one (and two, and three), what actually happened between Jackie and Melissa (no really, what happened), the ways Dolores' defense of Marg's child came into conflict with Teresa's delayed appreciation of empathy, and whether any of these people actually want to be friends (including, ya know, the audience). The Garden State left viewers in the weeds, just make sure poison ivy isn't nearby - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 574! Part 2!

Frenemy of the State: Part 1 (with Erica Cobb) Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

Inspired by the non-reunion reunion alternative that technically aired on Sunday, Sarah sits in silence for an hour, watching an ant fight itself. A day's work is never done, so after telling said ant that Radar online says his S15 contract is in jeopardy, she heads to a day spa for some much needed zen. Who does she see in line at reception but someone who is always receptive to talking about NJ and OC, Erica Cobb (co-host of "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP Awards nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb"). They check in with aliases - necessary when publicly discussing Marg v. Tre - and record a deep dive double ep. Part 1: Orange County! They unpack Alexis' impersonation of Shan, Tamra's use of alcoholism as a pejorative, Shannon's continued growth, Jennifer and Gina's fascinating battle, and more. Buckle up, because part 2 is ready, unlike RHONJ - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 574! Part 1!

A Tre Hugger Grows in Brooklyn (with Andrea Lopez) Aug 11, 2024

Show notes

Sarah realizes she's spent too much time on the metaphorical side of the highway (aka "dream real estate" for Jen Aydin), wondering what direction RHONJ will go after tonight's non-reunion Splenda alternative special ep. It's a convo reacting to an ep after all, so who better to bring some light than another recent episode star, straight from WWHL where she brought the house down with her heaven-sent Teresa impersonation, Andrea Lopez (comedian, impressionist, actress, and host of the pod Big Wigs). They settle into the cloff and unpack Andrea's time on WWHL, her relationship with Teresa as an impressionist and Bravoholic, Tre's journey on and off TV, and the impact of her new love, love, love, the complication positioning of NJ without a true reunion, Jen Aydin's (figurative) punching down, and of course, an exclusive interview with "Teresa Giudice." This convo may as well be the fifth dorter, because it's joined the AG family of all-time greats - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 573!
