Episode 330 - with Evan Real Jul 30, 2022

Show notes

Sarah is dismayed to realize that no matter how hard she hopes, it is *still* not yet BravoCon weekend (doesn't time understand how badly she wants to turtle?). So she Zooms up one of her fave parts of the 2019 BravoCon extravaganza, a man who could give a master class in how to discuss delicate matters about Housewifery panels with expert skill, Evan Real (senior tv reporter at PageSix.com and co-host of Page 6's new pod "Virtual Reali-Tea). After receiving confirmation that, yes, Evan's name did inspire Simon van Kempen's iconic musical hit (not really, but..spiritually), they explore the endearing quality of OG thirst, why Heather should be concerned with Tamra's media "amuse bouche," the ways that Kyle's inability to identify Erika's concerning behavior may be connected to her dynamics with Kim, and what's behind a lack of sensitivity about Crystal's eating disorder. Sarah's trigger is Bravo's use of "to be continued," so ya know, listen to this ep in full or murmur that to yourself when you press pause - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 330! Sarah said 340, so she's almost there!

Episode 329 - with Damian Bellino Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

After recording last week's AG Classic (editor voice: 30 min later) and AG Patreon (editor voice: 60 min later), Sarah realizes that she must take the pod triple crown (editor voice: 90 min later) with a record-breaking OG of the AG three! So Sarah Zooms up Damian Bellino (writer, producer, co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From," and RHOA dramaturg) for an Atlanta deep dive. Because let's keep it real, BH has gotten a lot of time on AG of late. But the new RHOA - unlike gem mining - has a lot to explore. Sarah and Damian discuss the connective thread between Marlo and Kenya's childhood trauma and abandonment to how they handle conflict and triggers as adults, why selective silence is not a neutral action (and can often provoke a heightened response), and, of course, Drew's Carrot Top Energy. Marlo and Kenya may be at an impasse, but this convo zooms right along - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 329!

Episode 328 - with Damian Bellino Jul 23, 2022

Show notes

After noting that 80% of Instagram is on girls' trips abroad, Sarah slides into Shan's DMs to invite her to fill a bowl with nine lemons from the IRL Capri (bcc'ng Dorit's Room, obvs). After her 75 messages go unanswered (has to be a tech issue! Silly 'net), Sarah Zooms up her other fave Bravo bestie, and OG of the AG, Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and cohost of the pod "You Might Know Her From"). They deep dive the the difference between crossing lines in Atlanta and crossing boundaries in Beverly Hills, the restorative power of a production pause for Sheree and Tamra (Dorinda, take note), and the value of a RHONY Legacy narrative that includes mother/daughter dynamics. Noel, Victoria, and Quincy agree, this convo is prestige modern art - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 328!

Episode 327 - with @BravoBravoDuckingBravo Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

Recently blocked by Lisa Rinna (some people just prefer matte over gloss), Sarah consoles herself with another iconic lip kit (childhood Lipsmackers at CVS), and deep diving with a fellow survivor of Rinna's blocking rampage, IG creator/investigator @BravoBravoDuckingBravo. They sit down in the cloffice (spiritually - thanks, Zoom) and explore what Lisa Wu's cameo on Atlanta reveals about the difficulty of repositioning a return Housewife, the pressure of Housewives monetization that lurks underneath Dorinda's hostess stress, and whether to consider Rinna's social media anger toward editors as a nuanced (and possibly strategic) exploration of grief. Sarah thinks her guest's voice is a perfect fit for the Calm app, just like her own cackle (HUSH) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 327!

Episode 326 - with Dylan Hafer Jul 16, 2022

Show notes

Sarah takes a walk down Madison Ave and runs into the entirety of Jen Shah's courtroom defense (an empty shopping bag littering the ground outside Dior). Thrilled with such a historic find (it's both worthless AND empty! Much like Rinna on social), Sarah runs back to the cloffice to kiki with her fave expert witness, and Bravo bestie, Dylan Hafer (manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pods Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss Andy's reaction to Jen's guilty plea and the likely whiplash energy of Salt Lake City S3, the problems with Diana's anti-improv instincts in her battle against Sutton, and what Caroline Brooks' dinner theatre performance has in common with Cherry Jones' role on Succession. Nobody puts baby in the corner, without ordering Sarah the housekeeper to do so first - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 326!

Episode 325 - with Brian Moylan Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

Sarah hears breaking news about Jen Shah's change of plea and races to the best place to mention it all, the Real Housewives Institute Reality Television Arts and Sciences study hall Zoom (admission: intelligence, je ne sais quoi/chic c'est la vie, and Dame as your honorific), where she meets up with the man, the myth, the legend, Dame Brian Moylan (author of the New York Times bestseller "The Housewives: The Real Story About Real Housewives," now out in paperback, creator of Vulture's Housewives Institute bulletin newsletter, and Sarah's personal lord and savior including when they scream at each other about Erika and Kyle). Dames Moylan and Galli react to Jen's shocking guilty plea and the reasons people with the most to hide choose to live their lives on camera, why alcohol is not an excuse for boundary crossing (and apologies), and yes, an intense exploration of the Fox Force Four's idea of selective accountability and silence. Erika and Kyle may not love this deep dive, and your eardrums - well those also might not stan a couple parts- it's Andy's Girls, Episode 325!

Episode 324 - with Samantha Bush Jul 09, 2022

Show notes

Sarah realizes an additional side effect of her 3mg of nightly sleep aid is the nightmare of watching advance clips of this week's RHOBH days before the ep. She comforts herself - and her emotionally-exhausted state - the best way she knows how, by Zooming up one of her fave content creators, and a teller of truths, Samantha Bush (staff writer, The Dipp, creator of @BravoHistorian, and host of the pod 'Hot Off The Mess'). They discuss the ways Kyle stumbles trying to be Johnny Carson when she's really Ed McMahon, the Fox Force's confusing spin of Erica's inappropriate boundary crossing, and why Girls Trip could truly be renamed "Dorinda in the Shadows." This is a Justice for Jill convo, because Shalom means peace ("and goodbye for anyone who crosses my child" - Gloria) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 324!

Episode 323 - with Erica Cobb Jul 02, 2022

Show notes

Sarah reads Diana's viral-in-all-the-worst-ways "Dear Garcelle" post on IG and immediately goes to her safe space (carbs and Hulu Plus). Feeling a spiritual triage is in order, she Zooms up one of her fave truth tellers and Bravoholics, a 4-time Olympian in mentioning it all, Erica Cobb (co-host, Daily Blast Live, host, 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' available on Ebony Podcast Network). They explore what's really behind Diana's deep seated anger against Garcelle, Lisa Rinna's inflexibility of thought, and what Dorinda's 'banana bread muffin with a dash of sadism' brunch says about her instinct to punish when she reacts. Someone tell Netflix that "Cobb Conspiracies" needs an immediate series pickup - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 323!

Episode 322 - with Tracie Morrissey Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

Sarah puts on a knitted pussy hat she purloined from Carole's mom at the DC Women's March (what, they were all aglow with lady patriotism, and Sarah wanted RHONY swag), and decides a Bechdel test-approved episode is most certainly in order. So she Zooms up a writer girl featured on last week's BH, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the podcast Pot Psychology, proprietor of pipedreams.fun, and bee/cucumber truther). They discuss the ways that alcohol has been used as an invitation to escalate on Girl's Trip and underplay on Bev Hills, a coastal war over Housewife intellectual acumen, and Tracie's continued confusion over Diana's 'coffee table book' years after her viral Jezebel piece. You don't need a reservation to Chateau Marmont to cuddle up to this comfort blanket of a convo, mostly because Sarah's cackle will surely keep you up - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 232!

Episode 321 - with James LaRosa Jun 25, 2022

Show notes

Sarah wakes up to another day in hell aka America aka seasons 15 and 13 of OC and NY. She turns to the only safe space that will distract her from the news cycle: the new season of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex Wives Club (it rolls off the tongue!). She Zooms up one of her Bravo besties, the multi-hyphenate James LaRosa (creator, writer, director, show runner, and ultimate truth teller about what to do when Vicki says "hi"), for a wide ranging convo about RHUGT, including whether being challenged is Dorinda's ultimate trigger, Brandi's unwillingness to choose personal growth, and the cancel culture that surrounds Sarah's reaction to Jill's Scary Island-inspired entry to the show. Run to the Bravo women fundraiser for Planned Parenthood on Sarah's IG, and hope not to bump into any Housewives in the wild en route - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 231!
