The Morning Show: Reese's Pieces (with Dylan Hafer) Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

Talking about "The Morning Show" lasts all night. There's just so, so much to unpack. Luckily, Sarah is joined by the Laura to her Bradley (no), the Jon to her Jen (absolutely), and the Corey to her Cheshire Cat grin, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They mention it all: the evolution of viewing experience from hate watch to 'huh, this is...nice? Where am I and why is Reese still there," forgetting that a plot point took place in space (the sky is full of stars, much like Jon Hamm), what a show ostensibly centered around news production needed to learn from "Broadcast News" and absolutely did not, and, of course, justice for Karen Pittman.

Mother's Day (with Dylan Hafer) Oct 21, 2023

Show notes

Inspired by Angie K's Greek Easter invite, Sarah asks a SLC production assistant to put on a bunny costume from Party City circa 1974 and invite her Bravo bestie to record an ep. Unfortunately the bunny does not have keys to his apt, but thankfully the door to the cloffice is open to all, especially Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss which Housewives franchise panel they plan to skip at BravoCon, the conflict between Monica's "inner child" and triggering behavior from her mom, similarities between Linda and Mama Joyce, how the 4th wall is impacting Angie K.'s upset toward Monica, and tension between Heather and Lisa's experiences and identities as Mormons. Mary's son said "I do," and this convo is worthy of vows - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 469!

Southern Charm: Shep and Austen's Mojo Dojo Casa House (with Alison Leiby) Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

Come one, come all! Inspired and energized by Southern Charm's wild season, Sarah invites AG guest co-host Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined") to mention it all. They deep dive the true definition of "hooking up," the ways Craig and Paige have become The Voice of the People, the toxic underbelly of Shep's plea/decree that the dinner party from fowl hell is "a place of joy," Austen's continued charm (sorry, height) and the power dynamics at play that likely impacted his kiss with Taylor, and Olivia's newfound voice. Consider this an epic lesson in boy math, which only Craig knows how to solve.

Angie? K. (with Alison Leiby) Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

Inspired by Brynn's bday wish for people to share lists of grievances, and the greatest gift of all (Salt Lake's mid-season trailer), Sarah makes her own half-birthday gift: another AG classic in the cloff, with one of her fave Bravo pals, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and cohost of the pod "Ruined"). They settle in a soup vs. sandwich debate, and then deep dive suspicions of Monica's involvement in Heather's mid-vacation shocker phone call, mixed opinions on Angie K.'s performance, Heather's confusion about how Jack's mission was received by Whitney, Meredith's rühmehr route, whether Sai's "cool girl" energy is a dynamic that fits within New New York, a "systematic bullying" vibe that comes at the cost of overall storytelling (and a missing ingredient: NYC), the difference between withholding aspects of your life vs. having a front-facing withholding sensibility, and more. Pavvit has Sarah's heart, and so does this convo - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 468!

Rumor Has It (with Ryan Bailey) Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

Sarah realizes she needs an extra dose of TLC: Tender Loving Cackle. So she sends an urgent cloffice Google Cal to one of her Bravo pods, who flies from CA just for this recording: Ryan Bailey (pop culture commentator and host of the pod "So Good It's Bad with Ryan Bailey," presented by Betches). They settle into the cloff with some decaf tea (all the better to spill), and discuss the ways Bravo/escapism/community can help during extremely upsetting times, the nature of compounded grief, Shan's growth about her divorce while seemingly repeating patterns with John, misdirected anger toward Heather Dubrow, which rumors (rümuhrz) Meredith shared about Angie and her hubs, a possibly-surprising opinion about Jenna's future on RHONY, and Jessel's devoted audience support. Consider this an hour-long respite from the world, unless the world also cackles and snorts every 10 seconds, in which case, kadooze to you - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 467!

I'll Tell Ya How I'm Doing Oct 12, 2023

Show notes

Sarah takes a moment in the cloffice to discuss how she is feeling right now around the terrorism in Israel and Gaza as a Jewish person.

This episode may be difficult to hear, but it is an important one, and we can do hard things.

Also Heather Gay looks great in her Gucci corset, TYVM.

It's Andy's Girls, Episode 466.

"They Found Us in the Attic" was written and performed by Sarah's friend Jesse Ruben, who is a delight. Follow Jesse at @JesseRuben for more.

Square Pegs and Friendship Circles (with Damian Bellino) Oct 08, 2023

Show notes

Sarah wakes from her cold med-induced slumber - possibly inspired by the chill between Shan and Gina, TBD - and sneezes a deep dive into fruition, with the true medical provider of sass whose copay is extra cackle: Dr. Damian Bellino (writer, producer, co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From, and OG of the AG). They settle into a girl-in-the-plastic-bubble style Zoom kiki, and discuss what Housewives "friendships" mean from casting through crises, Shan's unfortunate missteps during the reunion (and what her friendship with Tamra might mean behind the scenes), Jenna's end-goal on RHONY and whether Brynn's flirtation crosses a queer baiting line, Sai's lack of empathy toward Jessel (but not the clock), and Salt Lake City's continued Disney Fantasia. Another Andy's Girls Live is on the horizon, and so is this OG kiki - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 465!

Chaos Theory (with Kiki Monique aka The Talk of Shame) Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

After re-watching the Orange County finale, Salt Lake, and yes that Erin v Ubah ep of RHONY, Sarah realizes she simply cannot go on without putting on a Housewives remix. Tardy for the Party, Chic C'est La Vie, Fly Above, all the greats are included. And what better theme for AG Classic than inviting this return guest back for another zesty Zoom kiki than Kiki herself, The Talk of Shame's Kiki Monique. They settle into the spiritual cloff (East Coast/West Coast are fully represented), and discuss a status check on new New York and Erin and Ubah, Taylor's future career in mukbang, whether Gina and Emily's animus for Heather is consistent on camera versus off, Shannon's creative math business strategy for the Sitalonic, who wins the Worst Boyfriend award between John Janssen and Ryan, and Monica's similarities to OG Brandi Glanville. Were you silent or were you silenced (and was that before or after trying Shan’s colonic) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 464!

Send in the Clowns (with Tom Smyth) Sep 30, 2023

Show notes

Sarah gets a call from lobbyists for Big Alpha, who are determined to disentangle their company's branding from Angie K (can you blame them?). After returning the special K back to cereal and the Kardashians, Sarah realizes she has to much to say about Angie's....performance art. So she invites over writer and NYC rainfall survivor, Tom Smyth. They settle into the cloff, and discuss Meredith's Ron Swanson energy, Monica's criticism of Lisa's 60k ring (and what it represents), Whitney's failed job as mediator between, truly, anyone, the moment of connection between Heather Dubrow and Emily stemming from conversation about their childhoods, Tamra's control of the narrative, Gina's confusing discrepancies about her trust for Heather vs. Tamra, and their strained relationships with Bethenny Now. There are no Trix in this convo, only treats - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 463!

Now Why Am I In It: Nene’s Reality Reckoning Sep 29, 2023

Show notes

It was the plonk heard ‘round the world. Bethenny posts a surprise conversation with Nene on her pod, and Sarah *immediately* gives it a listen. Her deep dive of Part 1: the ways Nene's childhood affected her relationships as an adult, the differences in how Bethenny and Nene view their time on reality TV (and a lot of crossover), how Nene indirectly led to Bethenny's marriage (YUP), how Nene's success on Housewives changed her marriage, and so much more. Once you hear about Nene's first time meeting Kim Zolciak Biermann (probably) Zolciak Again, you will be forever changed - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 462!
