Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Latest Episodes:

A Doll's House (with Brian Moylan) Feb 13, 2024

Show notes

Sarah files paperwork to ascend the throne (not in the UK, but the Bravo Clubhouse downtown). She runs into some issues as she attempted to trademark "Dame" for sole use in the cloffice, as there is more than one royal head of the Bravo community. So who better to share a crown than her fellow writer girl with a heart of gold (Satchels of Gold), Founder and President of the Real Housewives Universe, Dame Brian Moylan (New York Times bestselling author behind "The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives"). They discuss the similarities and differences between Ariana, Lisa Hochstein, and Larsa's roles in their relationships (and breakups), potential nuance in the upcoming season of Summer House around Carl and Lindsay's "surprise" breakups, and how Sandoval and Erika Jayne frame toxic social media when questions arise about accountability and blame. Marcus Jordan's dad is having a pretty good week, just do it, indeed - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 507!

The Traitors: Torch Song Trilogy (with Dylan Hafer) Feb 12, 2024

Show notes

It's the golden age of television, and that's just from the castle confessionals between Phaedra and Parvati. So, of course, there's much to discuss. Sarah and AG guest co-host Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches) talk about their reactions to the shocking plot twist on The Traitors, Kevin's flop attachment style, who they're rooting for in the end, plus their obsession with Sad Nicole [Kidman] Energy in her latest prestige vehicle, Expats (an emotional experience for Sarah, cue Kleenex), and Sarah's latest fave TV binge, the super-sexy and fun reboot of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

The Brat Pact (with Dylan Hafer) Feb 10, 2024

Show notes

Sarah takes an Uber Pool to support Adriana's pride concert (whomever was running the sound mix for that lip-syncing is undoubtably an ally), where she drops off a sign for Julia with a correctly spelled name. After anointing herself a spelling b (don't finish sounding out that word), Sarah invites over one of her fave people to the cloff, who puts the B in SBBD, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the ongoing dynamics on Bev Hills about a cast "friend circle" allegiance to each other vs. production responsibility and comms, the difference between empathy and responsibility between Erika and the cast (spoiler alert: compassion is a hard thing to feel bad about), Lisa's Big Brat Era and her insistence around being the victim of her own poor behavior, and why Kiki deserves to be full-time. Miami faced an island of misfit toys, which is also the name of Lisa's perfume pricing dept. - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 506!

The Traitors: Castle Daddy (with Tom Smyth) Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

The Traitors is having one of those kinds of "watch this in real time or you will forever regret" seasons, and so of course Sarah needs to mention it all. She is joined by AG guest co-host and spiritual Faithful Tom Smyth, where they discuss Phaedra's SCOTUS-level roundtable against Dan, a round of "flop or bop" about Larsa and Kevin, misconceptions about Pilot Pete's ability to soar (and why Annemarie's husband might score him at a 6, apologies to 8.5), Parvati's Black Widow Brigade trilogy, Tom and Sarah's picks for S3, and more.

Inside the Authors Studio: Salt Lake City Secrets Revealed (with Kate Aurthur and Louis Staples) Feb 06, 2024

Show notes

Sarah wakes up on yet another day without new eps of Salt Lake (the inhumanity!!!!), until she realizes that, thank god, Variety and New York Mag published exclusive interviews with Monica, Heather, production, and Andy too! So she Zooms up the great minds behind these epic deep dives, two of her fave writer girls (spiritually, obvs) - Kate Aurthur (Variety's editor-at-large) and writer Louis Staples. They discuss secrets revealed from Kate and Louis' dramatic deep dives with the cast, a cast conspiracy about Monica from Season 3, the discrepancy around "selective truth" for both Monica and Heather, what morality means in the post-Jen Shah Era, whether production knew about Reality von Tease, the likelihood of whether Monica will be lifted from production purgatory aka "pause," and yes, thoughts on whether RHUGT: Morocco will (and should) air. Just call this episode a lending library, because it must be passed around - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 505!

Lord Have Merce-y (with Tom Smyth) Feb 03, 2024

Show notes

Inspired by the Beverly Hills cast's Barcelona-set Supermarket Sweep, Sarah rushes to Etsy to see if she can find any $3 dupes for a 300-year-old fan. She stockpiles an array for the cloff (no better way to clear anti-Shan energy before OC inevitably airs), and enjoys an equally breezy convo with her Bravoholic pal (and renowned artiste), Tom Smyth (Vulture blogger, writer and proprietor behind Milk and Don't Call Me Honey). They Uber Eats some GF vegan paella with a size of Zaddy, and discuss Sutton’s devastating end of episode memory play (Tennessee Williams wishes, tbh), and her combined and complicated grief over the loss of Merce, her dad, and her marriage, the connection between Erika's dinner performance and Dorinda's interpretation of her own, Annemarie's push to be graded on a curve, Dorit and Garcelle's conversation about marginalized communities (and the ways to discuss privilege without invalidating trauma), and yes, the wild, wild, ride that was this week's Miami (an island of misfit toys, Larsa v. Lisa v. baby v. bully, and Kiki's juice box armor against a mid-tantrum brat). Erika takes two steps forward and one step back, which is equal parts due to Girardi and Fosse choreo combined - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 504!

Tomfoolery: The Scandoval Era Continues on Pump Rules Jan 31, 2024

Show notes

Break out your Pumptinis and GF vegan goat cheese balls (or whatever they'll be serving on The Valley aside from possibly-middling TV) - Vanderpump Rules is back, and yes, it's about Tom. And Tom. Sarah breaks down her highlights from the VPR premiere, whether or not Ariana can fully process her breakup while in a new relationship, what people are (possibly) getting wrong in comparing Lala's voice note to her boundaries over Rand, a likely-uncomfortable season for Schwartz (...hopefully?), and yes, Sandoval's constitutional right to annoy his neighbors (and the rest of the world). Sandoval ended the episode by bringing home baggage, which was certainly a window into this season's soul - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 503!

The Socialite Network (with Christine Biancavilla) Jan 27, 2024

Show notes

Inspired by the Beverly Hills haunted Barcelona casa, Sarah knocks on her own door, hoping that if the sound is eery enough, a PJ-clad Sutton and Garcelle will stop by. Alas, if these walls could talk, they'd say, "be smarter than what Annamarie says Crystal says about the cast." So she invites over one of her fave Housewives intellectuals, someone whose Roman Empire is Heather's eye, content creator and Bravoholic Christine Biancavilla. They discuss Caroline Manzo's shocking lawsuit against Bravo, Peacock, Shed, and NBC, why Monica's reunion girl math isn't mathing, the joy of a Beverly Hills battle that is low stakes framed as high, what Annemarie is finally doing right (hint: it's still about being very wrong), Dorit's confessional flop era, Erika Jayne's relapse into snarky apathy about those damn earrings, and more. Sutton doesn't want the little people ghosts to come out, but sass is still very welcome - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 502!

The Rühmors, the Nastiness (with Emerson Collins) Jan 26, 2024

Show notes

Sarah realizes she has become helpless to the constant pull of a Salt Lake reunion rewatch. So after another viewing of part 3 (for...more than a third time), she decides the best way to 'internalize' is to do the exact opposite: an external, extra-zesty cloffice kiki with her pal, actor, producer, writer, and People’s Couch alum, Emerson Collins. They settle into the cloff and deep dive whether Sandoval will receive a redemption season energy from his cast (and the Pump Rules audience), the ways recent exclusive media interviews have influenced a deeper dive of Monica and Heather's motivations, the ways to hold space for trauma and also accountability (a seemingly impossible practice with Bravo discourse these days), the cast's frequent comparison of Monica and Jen (and disconnect over righteous rage), Angie K. and Whitney's centered reunion performances, and how to trust Monica's truth about whether production knew about her trolling. Monica may not be back to Salt Lake, but this season will always have a full-time snowflake in Sarah's spiritual DVR - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 501!
