Episode 270 - with Brian Moylan Dec 04, 2021

Show notes

Sarah celebrates another night of Hanukkah by opening the greatest gift of all - the premiere episode of Orange County, welcoming back fellow menorah holder and homeowner of what looks like a 750 room mega-sized Ritz Carlton in Aspen, Heather Dubrow (we are truly blessed). And who better to unpack such a porte cochère covered present, than one of Sarah's favorite people and guests - Brian Moylan, President and Founder of the Real Housewives Institute, New York Times bestselling author ("The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives"), contributor on the recent ABC News/Hulu doc about Jen Shah, and host of The Dipp's holiday podcast, "The Twelve Gays of Christmas." Agreeing to disagree on 107% of the topics discussed (a new goal on the pod!), they explore lessons Porsha and Kyle could learn about post-Housewives generational success by way of Nene and Bethenny's examples, what the current Renaissance period for Housewives means for its future, and what - if any - responsibility the network and its audience share for combining entertainment with unfolding criminal case storylines. This ep is a double, and so is Sarah's never-ending love for Shan (you may have heard- she stans!) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 270!

Episode 269 - with Justin Anderson Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

Sarah drives to Chateau salon in Franklin Lakes, excited to meet Santa Claus during his "Cop Without a Badge" book signing. After discovering the spa is out of books, tables, and with a 'discerning' 'friend' of 'Danielle' outside, Sarah high tails it back to NYC and the security blanket of a true Bravo stan - Justin Anderson (celebrity colorist, co-founder of the haircare brand dpHUE, and co-star on Very Cavallari). They discuss perception vs. reality on reality tv, the difficulty in the Bravo community of disagreeing without disemboweling, and why Erika Jayne's pre-RHOBH nickname was "7-Eleven." In honor of Hanukkah, please listen to this eight times - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 269!

Episode 267 - with Joel Kim Booster Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

Sarah engages in some cheater brand biz against Ramona Singer, Inc - DESERVED - and trademarks "new beginnings" to best encapsulate her thoughts about a prestige week for Housewives content. Ramotional now more than ever, she Zooms up a return guest to the People's People's Couch, and honorary PhD in Potomac in Salt Lake City, Joel Kim Booster (actor, comedian, writer, and Bassett Hound). They discuss the difference between denial and silence regarding Jen vs Mary's 'creative cash flows,' whether Lisa's efforts to discuss Mary's church have been influenced by last season's Bad Weather, and why one of Andy's questions to Candiace should have also been asked of a certain BH Housewife. This convo is so good Nick Minaj is waiting backstage - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 267!

Episode 266 - with Evan Ross Katz Nov 20, 2021

Show notes

Sarah draws herself a bath, Meredith Marks style (fully pruned after 6 hours of waiting for camera crews). She realizes her personality is bubbly enough without some extra suds, and realizes what she really needs is a shower of insight (go with it). So she Zooms up one of her all-time faves, writer, podcaster (Shut Up Evan, Drop Your Buffs), Gizelle Bryant historian, and the Doris Kearns Goodwin of Bravo, Evan Ross Katz. They discuss the ways Candiace is viewed more harshly in the eyes of the public and less harshly in the eyes of her mind, where Meredith's reaction to Jen's shocking arrest lands on the performative/iconique spectrum, and Evan shares a voice note from an Emmy-winning Bravoholic celeb about the fashion on Salt Lake. Ryan Murphy needs to make a Netflix series about Housewives, unless he casts Lea Michele as Heather Dubrow, in which case it's a wrap - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 266!

Episode 265 - with Dylan Hafer Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

After anxiously checking on her beloved fish son PK - perhaps he caught internal bleeding from Jen's imagination - Sarah calls 411 to glean as much Shahking information as she can from a historic and Shahmazing episode of SLC. And who answers her Bravo bat call but Sarah's fave Bravoholic BFF, a bubble bath for the soul, a multimillion dollar Vail promotional consideration kind of pal, and someone who would never need to steal an $800 green clutch from Meredith's store because his takes make you green with envy (s/o RHONJ!), Dylan Hafer (content manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pods Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the tension between Meredith's engagement on all things Jen Shah vs rumors about Mary's church, what Jen's shocking participation in the after show says about her strategy off camera, and the ways that Salt Lake is playing against type (aka Erika Jayne). Potomac also happened, and that's nice too - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 265!

Episode 264 - with Kevin Fallon and Louis Peitzman Nov 13, 2021

Show notes

Feelin Jovani and also Pat Kiernan, Sarah goes to read the daily papers, and realizes that there are only so many times she can start a trial subscription for Sutton Stracke Presents the LA Times. Inspired by some fantastic long form pieces on Erika Jayne written by today's guests (Andy agrees!), Sarah Zooms up noted Housewives historians Kevin Fallon (senior entertainment reporter, The Daily Beast) and Louis Peitzman (Vulture, among others) for a wide ranging and very deep dive convo of all things Erika Jayne. They discuss what Andy's surprising reaction to Erika Jayne critique says about managing Erika and the audience on-and-off camera, the differences between how Erika and Candiace's outbursts are critiqued by their respective casts, and the troubling pattern of rewarding bad behavior with regard to Housewives and alleged crime. This panel deserves a Pulitzer, so please let Suzanne in HR know to add it to the list - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 264!

Episode 263 - with Damian Bellino Nov 09, 2021

Show notes

Realizing her DVR likely has internal bleeding after the sonic boom level screeching Sarah uttered during the last 10 min of SLC, she calls up her spiritual Homeland Security advisor (more for the heart than federal gov), Potomac super stan, and OG of the AG, Damian Bellino (writer, producer, co-host of the podcast You Might Know Her From). They discuss the differences between a subject vs. object Housewife, the potentially difficult translation when a Bravoholic becomes a Bravoleb, and what Andy got right about Candiace's inability to account for her problematic behavior. Gizelle's relationship history may be a puzzle, but this episode is putting all the pieces (and Jamal) together - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 263!

Episode 262 - with Alison Leiby Nov 07, 2021

Show notes

Sarah hits the comedy circuit in NYC, excited to discover more laughable reasons Bravo may keep Ramona. In between sets by famed comedians Sonja Morgan and Joe Gorga, she runs into a true stand up icon: comedian and co-host of the pod Ruined, Alison Leiby. They discuss the presumption of innocence Erika is demanding while in turn refusing to extend to Tom's victims, opposing views on the impact of Kyle Richards' production power, and 3-6 seconds on Salt Lake. Sarah is unwilling to accept that BH is over, so consider this P5 of a ten part addendum - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 262!

Episode 261 - with Dan Calabrese and Brendan Davis Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

Sarah hears about the newest Housewives franchise, and attempts to sign up for a nonexistent Bravo Amazing Race, in order to potentially fly over filming in Dubai. Undeterred after both corporate and Visa debit tell her this is non negosh, she jets to her other happy place instead - a discussion of MVP Housewives with the hosts of the pod "Come Thru Queen," Dan Calabrese and Brendan Davis. They explore the market value of Kyle Richards, star of screen and screen (ya know, movies and tv), why Dan and Brendan's picks for the top 10 most valuable Housewives include erasure of some historic OGs, and whether or not Jennie and Duy's disconcerting conversations about expanding their family may have been influenced by an increased need for storyline behind the scenes. Archie Beador is back home, and so is this fab Bravoholic throuple - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 261!
