Sarah celebrates Thanksgiving the best way she knows how - by adorning a Sassgiving shrine to Shan (9 lemons in a bowl and a gravy boat filled with chaos), and welcoming her spiritual BFF back to the People's People's Couch. She is joined by Richie Skye (entertainment journalist and pop culture expert) as they discuss vulnerabilities on and off podcasts, the difference between story and storylines, and the complex narrative around colorism and accountability on Potomac. This Thanksgiving, Sarah wants everyone to know how thankful she is for the AG community and also this isn't her effing plate - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 268!

Episode 268 - with Richie Skye

Andy&#39;s Girls with Sarah Galli is a semiweekly podcast that dives deep into the drama on and off Bravo TV. A mix of C-SPAN and &#34;Iyanla Fix My Life,&#34; episodes focus on the psychology behind the Real Housewives franchise. Named a &#39;Certified Bravoholic&#39; by Bravo, Sarah is joined by rotating guest co-hosts, from Real Housewives themselves to prominent culture writers, comedians, and Bravoholics.

TV & Film

Sarah is joined by famed and frequent TIPper Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the podcast "Ruined") for a two-part Taking It Personally spectacular. Part 2: The Valley. They deep dive Michelle's brand of "quiet luxury" toxicity, Jesse's successful career as the most unlikeable husband/man currently on Bravo TV, Kristen's downward trend IRL (a special skill for any reality TV LinkedIn), Jax and Brittany's future (perhaps a new publicist, TBD), the difficulty of "working" on a relationship without actual work, Jasmine and Zach's friends-of energy (crucial cast roles regardless), and more.

Sweet Valley High: Part 2 of a Pump Rules and The Valley Spectacular (with Alison Leiby)

Sarah is joined by famed and frequent TIPper Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the podcast "Ruined") for a two-part Taking It Personally spectacular. Part 1: Pump Rules. They discuss Jax's impressive reach on VPR and The Valley, Lala's motivations behind her very public anger toward Ariana, and emotional reaction to recent backlash online, how breaking the fourth wall further would impact short-vs-long term storytelling on VPR, which cast members could get lost in a Valley re-shuffle, Schwartz and Katie's meet cute, and more.

Vanderpump Rules: Sandoval's Tortured Poets Department (with Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo)

Sarah wakes up to the news that Robyn has been fired from Potomac, and thinks 'well that's the big story of the day/nothing else will happen lolololololol." In the middle of the storm of Bravo news alerts, she seeks out her fave navigator of Bravo's past, present, and future, Richie Skye (news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert). They settle into a Zoom (thanks again for your understanding about the audio!) and deep dive the challenge of anointing a housewife its franchise 'star' (bcc Icarus, Vicki, and Linnethia, and Gizelle), what the future of Potomac will look like if Bravo continues to hold Gizelle's work performance in high regard, Nneka's rumored departure, why Richie prefers not to use 'storyline' as a metric in how he reacts to a Housewife's role, brainstorming ways to resolve the current cast stalemate (and how to extricate Dr. Wendy from a cycle of 'wow this new career path is hard'), whether Alexia and Todd's surprise split may alter a reported cast shakeup in Miami (heaven forbid!), and a mid-recording live reaction to Candiace's pregnancy news. This convo is a bundle of joy, and not just because Sarah screams now and again - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 532!
