Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Latest Episodes:

I Have Been to the Mountaintop: Meditations on the Salt Lake City Finale Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

There are certain moments in American history that stand out. When the presidential vote in 2000 was decided by the Supreme Court. When Jlo inspired the creation of Google Image with a certain Versace dress. And when Monica joined her friend circle for a dinner tribunal, one night in Bermuda. Sarah is witness to this most recent, shocking event, one that has changed our nation and several others, forevermore. She discusses the moment that truly took her out (#BlondeAmbitionTour), what Monica and Danna shared in an IG Live immediately following the episode airing about Jen Shah's role in Heather's eye, why the BravoCon panel decision now makes complete sense, questions Heather may have to answer at the reunion about NBC/Universal HR, and the difficulty in comparing/equalizing the toxicity between Monica and Jen. Heather got her groove back, and what a sight to see - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 495!

Sliding Doors (with Erica Cobb) Jan 02, 2024

Show notes

Sarah greets the New Year in a fit of cackles (thanks, John Mayor, Anderson, Andy, and some feline friends). Inspired to start 2024 off right, she Zooms up one of her fave Bravoholic pals, prepared to mention it all: Erica Cobb (co-host Daily Blast Live and NAACP Awards nominated host, "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show). They discuss Erica's adventure at Kathy Hilton's Christmas party, the sliding doors effect on RHOBH, deciding what to disclose about romantic partnerships, the missing piece of Dorit's storyline, why Michael Darby is at least partially to blame for Potomac's lackluster season, and the difficulty in unpacking the Richards sister dynamics. Apologies in advance for mentioning Teddi so soon into 2024 - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 494!

Help is available: if you're in emotional distress or suicidal crisis, text or call The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

Taank Tops and Stangies, this ep is for you - it's Andy's Girls, 493!

A Rose By Any Other Name (with Lea Palmieri) Dec 30, 2023

Show notes

Sarah watches the newest SLC and immediately Googles "where can I buy Heather Gay's book or maybe just the Whitney excerpt and also PS BTW what are books and do they come with Peacock." Concerned by her search results (sweetie), she realizes the best way to process Salt Lake is with one of her fave writer girls, Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer, formerly at Spotify, Decider, and more). They do an Angie K-style trot to the cloffice, where they discuss Meredith's responses to conflict (and the difference in being centered on disengaging vs. processing), Lea's definition of a "shady" Housewife and which Bravoleb deserves the title, Monica's future on the show (and the cast's refusal to move forward with her), and yes, a reading of the very Bad Mormon excerpt that seemingly inspired so much contention from Whitney to Heather. Le vie en Rose, and Sarah's bungled French - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 492!

Southern Charm: In a World Filled With Austens, Be a Craig (with Lea Palmieri) Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

Sarah is joined by guest co-host Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer, formerly at Spotify, Decider, and more) to discuss the effervescent joy and delight that is this season of Southern Charm. They have a spirited debate about what it means to be "good" when it comes to Austen and Shep, what Vanderpump Rules and Southern Charm have taught us about the ways women view friendship betrayal when their partners/exes cheat, Craig Conover, America's Sweetheart, JT, Le Petit Prince, Taylor's ill-advised attempt to connect with Olivia by referencing her brother, and their picks for best dressed reunion looks.

RHUGT: Rebel Without a Pause (with Ben Rimalower) Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

Shiver me timbers: RHONY Legacy Tropics Girl's Trip Legacy is finally here, and of course Sarah and AG guest co-host Ben Rimalower have to mention it all. They discuss Ben's love for the current season (and why it's his fave UGT yet!), an Addams Family flavor to the cast roles, the differences in how Kelly and Kristen view the framework of UGT vs. Housewives trips, how Kelly views Scary Island and herself, whether Sonja in the city will finally include a sold townhouse, Ramona's future on the network (lol) and also ya know, if Zarin Fabrics can be woven back in, and the TBD status of UGT: Morocco.

An AG Christmas Spectacular: Two Jews Yelling About Kyle (with Ben Rimalower) Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

Just call this a slay ride, ammiright. Sarah awakens on Christmas Eve Eve Eve, and realizes the greatest gift Santa/Hanukkah Harry could bring is a *spirited* AG double ep. So she invites one of her fave presents over to the North Pole of the UES also known as Yorkville, Ben Rimalower (writer, performer, and most recently director of Countess and Friends). They put some menorah themed stockings on a cloffice wall, and deep dive the ways reality TV can impact a Housewife's disconnection from their own reality, the difficulty of feeling one must compete against a previous season's storyline/stakes, opining on Denise's behavior at the dinner party from hell, and some, shall we say, spirited debate about Kyle, Kyle v. Mauricio, Ben v. Sutton, and Ben v. Sarah v. Sutton v. the greater unknown. Mrs. Clause says she's the Kathy of her family, and don't you forget it - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 491!

Merry Christmas from the Cloff!

The Girl in the Plastic Bubble (with Evan Real) Dec 23, 2023

Show notes

Sarah sees Dorit's IG response to her scene with Garcelle and rolls her eyes so far that the cloffice suggests she make an appointment with her optometrist. Sarah realizes the next best counsel is Kiki'ing with a Bravoholic pal who has 20/20 vision about BH and SLC: Evan Real (senior TV reporter, PageSix.com, and co-host of Virtual Reali-tea). They discuss concern and confusion over Dorit's double down on Instagram, the ways removing nuances can complicate understanding Garcelle's perspective, whether the cast is mimicking some of Rinna’s behavior in her stead, reactions to the Salt Lake finale trailer, Monica's unpaid internship at the Jen Shah school of practical magic, Whitney's upset toward Heather about Bad Mormon, and the reasons Lisa and Meredith's selfie sass is at the core of what many viewers like most on Housewives. Dorit may live in a bubble, but this convo floats above the rest - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 490!

Let's Talk About the Husband (with Julian Hagins) Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

Sarah does some winter cleaning in the cloffice (gotta get those skeletons out of the closet, and pitch a show to Peacock), and realizes cleanliness is next to godliness, and there's nothing holier than hearing about an extremely VIP creator meet-up with a Bev Hill OG. So she Zooms up a Bravoholic pal (and fellow Shan Stan) who just attended an intimate hotel kiki with Kyle Richards, content creator Julian Hagins. They discuss Julian's experience watching the most recent (very Kyle-heavy) episode of BH next to Kyle herself, the comments she had about Sutton and Garcelle as she reacted to what came out onscreen (and the moment Sarah is shaken that was missed), the complicated and nuanced journey of finding a new safe space (and the difficulty of rejecting relationships of obligation with family when obligated to 'befriend' a filmed circle of friends), similarities in Robyn's difficulty finding a place to be vulnerable when Juan (and Mauricio) are not avail, what the future of Potomac might look like without a few OGs, and the difficulty of a season focused on what was seen on TV and not living in real life. Lisa Rinna was mentioned twice in this convo, once more and she magically appears - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 489!

Stangies (with Petshopboy) Dec 16, 2023

Show notes

Sarah Google Images "Angie K sunglasses" in order to save an iconic alternate wallpaper for her phone (Pedro Pascal is shaking), and realizes the only thing more iconic - ok, equally iconic - would be inviting her Bravoholic pal Petshopboy aka B. Graeter (host of the podcast "The B List") to the cloffice for a true Epcot-style Bravo deep dive (they're going around the franchises in 70 minutes). They discuss which Housewife they'd want to represent them in Congress, Potomac's identity shift, a surprising lack of stakes in questioning Robyn's relationship, the underground community of OG Angie K. stans, Anna-Annemarie's pride over her scoreboard remationship (and wildly inappropriate interpretation of Sutton's esophagus condition as an ED), shared confusion over next season's Jackie/Marg feud, and whether Miami passes the Bechdel test. Larsa needs to work on her active listening skills, and maybe this convo can help - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 488!
