Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Hours before the world changed forever (RIP beer cheese, permanently out of season), Sarah sets out her HanuKaren holiday shrine (5 identical blonde wigs that are a likely fire hazard, directly in front of a La' Dame holiday candle) and then calls up one of her fave bright lights - writer and Team Candee translator, Rafi D'Angelo. They discuss a myriad of points defended by Team Candiace along with several rebuttals, taking care when discussing Braunwyn's coming out, and the differences between Tom and Erika's alleged fraud vs the Met Ball's favorite holy spirit. The tech troubleshooting for this ep may not have killed as many people as Mary's lunch champagne, but the resulting convo is just as delish - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 188!

Note: Thank you for your understanding about the sound for this week's episode. Troubleshooting audio during a pandemic is almost as fun as attending a party at Karen's salon!

Sarah begins to cook a bountiful meal for her Zoom Friendsgiving, when she realizes she's forgotten the most important ingredient - the acclaimed writer and founder of the Real Housewives Institute, Brian Moylan! They discuss the complicated casting of Mary Cosby, and whether her church's 'cult' following will be addressed on the reunion, the difference between accountability and punitive measures on Potomac, and why Bravo's legal team sent a notice to Brian (spoiler alert: it wasn't a friendship contract). Two thumbs up for this sassy chat - and that's meant as a compliment, Lisa and Heather - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 187!

Sarah gets ready for Thanksgiving by stocking up on her favorite ingredients (Jen, Meredith, Heather, Mary, Lisa, and Whitney). She sets a table for two and calls her fave quarantini straw that stirs the drink, writer and comedian Phillip Henry. They discuss the similarities between SLC casting and an OG reality tv show, Lisa Barlow's Mariah-esque inspo regarding friendship (and casting), and whether or not the green-eyed bandits are in for a reunion twist. No need for extra stuffing, because this episode covers every side - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 186!

Sarah wakes up to a winter wonderland: a deluge of DMs calling her a snowflake (aka RHOSLC super fans!). She celebrates the historic and already-legendary series premiere with another devout Salt Lake City stan: news and entertainment journalist, and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They discuss the Big Cult Energy whispers surrounding Mother Mary, how Heather Gay may prove herself to be a less problematic - and more joyful - Shannon Beador, and how Candiace's greatest current feud is against herself. Make yourself a snow angel (just kidding, Jen Shah can't be replaced) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 185!

Sarah wakes up feeling blue (another day not being married to Dr. Damon, why God why) - and very patriotic. She sends a Paperless Post for a Biden/Harris win watch party, but realizes her invitees - Vicki, Sigalit, the entirety of Dallas, 96% of Orange County, and at least half of RHONJ, have gone MIA. So she Zooms up her Bravo bestie, registered voter and sassafrass, Dylan Hafer (assistant editor at Betches Media, cohost of the podcast "Mention it All," and creator of @BravoByBetches). They unpack the significance of Bravolebrity silence following the election results, using platform for purpose between Black Housewife franchises vs non-Black shows, and why Monique and Candiace's war of the roses/spilled rosé was destined to end with a (legal) counter punch. America the beautiful, or at least whatever pageant win Candiace's mother bought - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 184!

Ahead of a tense week for the United States (due to not having immediate access to the RHOSLC premiere - why, is something else happening?), Sarah indulges in necessary TLC for self-care survival: a case of expired Tipsy Girl, a signed headshot from T'Challa Samuels, and an epic AG kiki with cultural anthropologist, and host of "Las Culturistas" and HBO Max's "Haute Dog," Matt Rogers. They unpack the divide between Karen's focus on accountability vs shame and Gizelle's interest in performative offense, why the RHOP reunion may uncover more behind the scenes tea than what production is prepared to reveal, and a Satchel of Gold connecting Candiace's reaction to the 'altercation' to her tense relationship with Dorothy. Vote early, and not just about Team Candiace vs. Monique - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 183!

Sarah decides to get out the vote, and canvasses the Upper East Side about the importance of watching Potomac 6-8 times. After running into Ramona Singer, and explaining that yes, there are Housewives franchises other than those located on opposing coasts, Sarah meets up with her favorite registered voter: "You Might Know Her From" co-host, and OG of the AG, Damian Bellino. They discuss the 'sink or swim' challenge facing RHOBH casting, the differences between reveals about Brandi Glanville and Michael Darby, and why friendship means never having to say you're sorry (once charges have been filed). It's election season, and this duo always wins the popular vote - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 182!

Sarah and Pilar Jhena play three rounds of "rock paper scissors" to determine who will win the vaunted role of flower girl at Cynthia's wedding. After losing in a landslide (apparently pointing to a diamond does not count?), Sarah consoles herself with the real reward, an AG kiki with Rachel Wilkerson Miller, VICE Life Deputy Editor and author of "The Art of Showing Up: How To Be There for Yourself and Your People." They discuss Rachel's now-viral piece unpacking the role of respectability politics during the Potomac altercation aftermath, what a just-unearthed video of Michael Darby means for his future on the show (and in his marriage), and the difference between accountability and shame. Much like T'Challa Samuels, this conversation soared to new heights - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 181!

With Shannon and Sarah's imaginary best friendship going through a one-season trial separation, Sarah holds close to Archie Beador Galli, the beta fish to her alpha personality. She realizes the only thing to bring her joy during RHOC's version of Kell on Earth is a deep dive with podcaster 'mixologist' @MixingWithMani. They discuss the tense energy surrounding Orange County's upcoming season, how respectability politics played into the Potomac altercation aftermath, and the importance of telling new stories (with new money) on Salt Lake City. Winter is coming, and much like rumors about certain NY Housewives, Sarah's ready to hit the slopes - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 180!

Sarah sneaks into the Tamron Hall taping, disguised as one of the many, *many* people in Nene's hotel lobby walking in and out of frame. After realizing she was in for a whole lot of emo but much less info, Sarah instead calls up the Doris Kearns Goodwin of Bravo, Evan Ross Katz, writer, editor, and host of the podcast "Shut Up Evan." They discuss what happens when an OG's power falls out of favor, the inherent nuances in discussing Candiace vs Monique, and why so many Househusbands seem to self-sabotage in front of cameras and their wives. Gizelle's father says this double episode has his full approval, and he is a man of impeccable taste - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 179!
