Episode 310 - with Brian Moylan May 14, 2022

Show notes

Sarah feels an extra jolt of energy after another season upon us (stfu spring/summer, she means RHOBH!). In celebration, Sarah buys a child's admission ticket (Ageless by Ramona, ammiright) to the Real Housewives Institute, in order to mention it all with its founder and president (and New York Times bestselling author) Brian Moylan. Just a couple of dames, disagreeing about Erika Jayne. They discuss the ways that Housewives has made viewers better media consumers and critical thinkers, the difference between changing one's character and revealing it, and questions around questioning Dorit's response to trauma. It may be expensive to be Erika J, but this convo is priceless - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 310!

Episode 309 - with Alex Zaragoza May 10, 2022

Show notes

Sarah hops in one of Chris Manzo's dancer/car wash Uber Pools and heads to the Brownstone for turtle time with a dame who appreciates the fine art of Mafioso-style Housewives whose horoscope is extra leopard, tv writer Alex Zaragoza. They discuss the connection between family boundaries and communication incapability on NJ and Atlanta, the lessons Ralph and Drew could learn about choosing their marriage over (inappropriate relationships with) friends from an iconic reunion on Married to Med, and the difficult ways reality tv can weaponize vulnerability as ‘a price of admission.’ Sarah may not be into financial literacy, but that's just because she's watched a lot of Bev Hills - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 309!

Episode 308 - with Evan Real May 07, 2022

Show notes

Inspired by one of the greatest dance songs in the Housewives canon -obviously, it can be none other than "I'm Real" by spiritual EGOT Simon van Kempen - Sarah Zooms up one of her fave Housewives reporters - of truth and sass - Evan Real, senior tv reporter at PageSix.com. They discuss the difference between respecting the legacy of NY Housewives and creating fresh content, the impact of a patriarchal structure in how Teresa views Melissa and her future sisters-in-law, and Teresa's struggle to understand self-determination when it involves opinions different from her own. Page 6 may be an honorary cast member on RHONY, and this convo is headline news - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 308!

Episode 307 - with Michael Arceneaux May 03, 2022

Show notes

Sarah watches the effervescent Atlanta season premiere, and celebrates what looks like a fantastic season the best way she knows how - by sending Marlo's billionaire beau a 9 bajillion Venmo request, and using a portion of the funds to buy Marlo a company name that works in French. She realizes she has a few bajillion left to spare, and flies herself on Louie's (imaginary) tantrum PJ to Zoom in the clouds with one of her fave return guests, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times best-selling author of "I Can't Date Jesus" and its follow-up "I Don't Want to Die Poor." They discuss the job of an editor versus therapist when it comes to Teresa's explosive defensiveness, whether Kenya has passed the 'villain' baton to Marlo (and why Sanya's winning the race of being a terrific addition to the cast), and the difference between present vs past tense with regard to how Marlo vs Sonja present wealth. Sarah forgets the names of both Carmela Soprano and RHONY Legacy during this convo, and will therefore leave her certificate of Italian heritage and Peacock login at the door - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 307!

Episode 306 - with Brice Sander Apr 30, 2022

Show notes

Sarah (allegedly) watches part 2 of the OC reunion and thinks, ya know what I need right now, more than anything? Entertainment! Tonight! So she settles into the cloffice and Zooms up her fave Bravoholic from ET HQ, Brice Sander. They explore questions of emotional capacity that Erika Jayne and Teresa may share, the psychology behind Housewife fandoms (and why it's so often connected with a need for validation from their favored star), the difficulty when nuances are removed from "good vs evil" Housewife archetypes, and why Noella is a prime example of why the riskiest casting decision might be a Housewife who doesn't know who she is. Brice shares inside scoop on the BH premiere, and much like Erika's crisis comms team, Sarah's mouth is still ajar - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 306!

Episode 305 - with James LaRosa Apr 24, 2022

Show notes

Sarah hears the devastating news via Shan's IG that Archie Beador is unwell, and doggy paddles into the spiritual abyss, until she realizes the best medicine for man's best friend is yelling about OC with Sarah's core one/three, James LaRosa (writer, producer, director, creator, show runner, and aspiring Real Housewife). They discuss the influence Heather and Teresa have over production (and why one is winning the edit battle while the other quasi-flails), the differences between Teresa and Nene's disconnections from their respective casts, and whether Marg has regret for considering Teresa a woman capable of friendship trust. Dearest Archie Beador, PK Kemsley-Galli is holding his fins in fish prayer, and not just about finding Shannon an alternate Rachel and second dress - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 305!

Episode 304 - with Matt Rogers Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Sarah takes an Uber to Watch What Happens Live, inspired by the performance of a certain star guest. She spots Sunday's Mazel of the Night, and Andrew Cohen's new BFF, Matt Rogers (comedian, writer, actor on the upcoming Showtime comedy "I Love That for You" and Hulu film "Fire Island," and co-host of Sarah's fave pod Las Culturistas). They Lyft Line (what, they still won't let her pay in shoes) back to the official Andy's Girls cloffice and explore Dolores' potentially codependent relationships with Marg and Tre, the ways Shannon has been a surrogate for Gina's internalized anger, and the connective thread between Jackie and Crystal's bravery sharing ED stories, and the hope for the Bravo community to learn about the danger of online remarks. I *do* think so honey, because after this convo Housewives culture has officially been reset - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 304!

TW: this episode includes discussion about eating disorders and body dysmorphia

Episode 303 - with Melissa Gorga Apr 17, 2022

Show notes

Thank you Jesus, it's an Easter Sunday NJ delight (Sarah's childhood rabbi also approves). Sarah welcomes Real Housewife of New Jersey Melissa Gorga to the People's People's (blessed) Couch, to discuss what the tabloids have gotten wrong about Joe's alleged walk-off during the upcoming reunion, whether Melissa can ever do enough to show her loyalty to Tre, and why Jen Aydin's 'fan' origin has worked against developing true relationships with the cast. Sarah also chats about the OC finale, explores Gina's motivations/goals in her ongoing arguments with Shannon, and unpacks the ways Dr. Jen is working against the opportunity to break from a dysfunctional marriage. Don't be green with Envy about this chat, because everyone looks better in pink - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 303!

Episode 302 - with Dylan Hafer Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Sarah returns from her week-long stay at one of Sonja Morgan's numerous silent retreat but double treatment island locales, tan (no), wearing paisley (never/how dare you even suggest), and with the brand new Beverly Hills trailer as her carry-on (the very first thing to unpack). So she opens up the cloffice to her Bravo bestie, a man who knows a wee bit about mentioning it all - since, ya know, it's the name of one of his pods - Dylan Hafer (manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the podcasts Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle into the cloff, surrounded by all of life's spiritual necessities (Manolos and vintage lace), and explore the complicated (and limiting) choice to silence Housewives discourse because of a difference in political ideology, whether Summer House is better equipped to handle delicate and complex conversations because of a generational vs situational environment, and what the Beverly Hills trailer reveals about Erika's disconcerting apathy toward victims of Tom's fraud. Lisa Rinna may have eaten Kathy's half-diamond, but in her defense (lol) doesn't that sound like the perfect lunch - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 302!

Episode 301 - with Ben Rimalower Apr 02, 2022

Show notes

Sarah takes an Uber Pool (RIP?) to New Jersey, determined to leave Chris Manzo a single rose outside the Brownstone. En route she picks up devout Jersey observer - just replace "Patti Issues" with Tre, and you've got yourself a monologue - Ben Rimalower (writer, performer, and director of Countess and Friends). They head to Caface for some blowouts and brass(y roots), and discuss the difference between perception and reality during Ben's collaborations with Luann, Bethenny, and Teresa, the ways Tre vs. Marg is analog vs. digital, and why the previous season hair pull may be the foundation of their war. Dolores loved this episode, because she's a big fan of both charity and jokes about balls - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 301!
