Sarah marks Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar known as the Day of Atonement, by watching the new ep of RHONY and immediately sending Erin a Paperless Post for shul. She realizes a true Scary Island would be not speaking about the new ep, and Zooms up one of her fave (Kim Richards voice) "Daily Beasts," Kevin Fallon (editor of the Daily Beast Obsessed, a pop culture website). They settle into the People's People's Couch's People's Court for a, shall we say, spicy convo that includes differing opinions on Erin v. Ubah's upset, the complicated history around tropes that work to silence/criticize Black women's feelings, whether the hot tub time machine was a moment of hashtag systematic bullying or a water treatment of accountability, sighs about Sai, the ways reactions and overreactions are received and judged, Erin's potentially strategic tears, an inconsistent use of grace, and the ways that cancel culture impacts Bravo discourse (and personalities). Sai may not have Main Housewife Energy, but this convo certainly does - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 461!

Sarah watches the new Salt Lake episodes and levitates to another universe, filled with hope and possibility. Luckily, she learned several languages/dialects, ones Duolingo only wishes it had heard of first. She realizes the universe is in need of another episode stat, so she Uber Pools back to the cloff, where she meets Los Angelino Ryan Bailey (pop culture commentator and host of "So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey," presented by Betches Media). They make some espresso martinis (JK, Heather accomplished a caffeine and vodka-themed Scared Straight) and discuss the Survivor-esque roles Tamra and Heather Dubrow are currently playing on Orange County, searching for Jen's identity -- separate from Ryan -- on and off TV, Shan's reported decision to seek treatment (and why her continued relationship with John is a seemingly toxic state), Angie K as the epitome of a 'so bad it's good' ethos, differing opinions on Whitney's upset toward Meredith, and the grounding, communal impact of Heather Gay's "Who Among Us" post-cocktail ride. Lisa Barlow lost her 60k ring, and thank goodness this convo was found - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 460!

Sarah celebrates the High Holidays with a mazel of the day: inviting RHONJ star, lawyer, and author Jackie Goldschneider over to the cloffice, where they discuss her new book, The Weight of Beautiful, and of course, her experiences as a New Jersey Real Housewife.

They truly mentioned it all: the nuanced use of "recovery" when talking about eating disorders, Bravo's role in Jackie's treatment and recovery (and yes, rumors about Jackie’s friendships with Teresa and Marg), how control impacts sharing vulnerability on a public platform, a misconception that EDs include a beginning, middle, and end, how an obsession with weight loss injections has brought back a renewed focus on "thin" and weight loss as a competition (including in the NJ cast), trauma as a connective thread, and finding a way back to light. 

If AG had a book club, this would be its companion listen - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 459!

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

"I've been traveling, I've been to prison." A perfect line delivery by Luann de Lesseps, one Shannon Storms Beador can unfortunately more fully appreciate. Capping off a wild, wild, day with all the highs and lows one can associate with being a Shan stan, Sarah realizes she really needs some light. And ribald humor. And sass. The perfect ingredient to brighten the cloff? Sarah's Bravo bestie, of course - Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle in for a seltzer spritz and discuss perceptions of Shannon's relationship with alcohol, John, and herself, the challenge of recognizing coping mechanisms that have become foundational, and updates from Shan's lawyer, Bravoleb friend (s/o JLL Chumps!). And oh yes, other things too: the definition of a Wifetime Achievement Award (and the connection Vicki now shares with Clint Howard), examining Gina's performance on Housewives through an updated lens, Erin and Sai's upset toward Jessel, and yes a bit of a debate about the definition of a prank. Archie Beador is an empath, and if you're listening to this convo, you might be one too - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 458!

Hashtag this is too Real for Real. News broke today that Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Storms Beador was allegedly arrested for DUI alcohol and hit-and-run late Saturday night. And as a Shan stan, Sarah had a few triage-style thoughts. On Shan, Archie, Gina, John, Sarah is truly mentioning it all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 457.

Update following recording: Shannon Beador's lawyer, Michael Fell tells TMZ ... "I spent quite a bit of time with Shannon yesterday. She is extremely apologetic and remorseful. We will be awaiting the official information on this case as it becomes available, and Shannon is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions."

Shana Tova, Friends of Jill! Sarah celebrates the Jewish New Year by dipping RHONY apples into honey (talk about sweet New Beginnings). She realizes the best resolution to have is to be real - and who better to AG Kiki with than Evan Real (senior TV reporter, PageSix.com, and co-host of the pod Virtual Realitea). They discuss the similarities in storyline and character critiques on The Hills and Vanderpump Rules, the astrology and psychology behind Lindsay and Carl's breakup, Tamra and Jen's continued war of words about Ryan, possible toxic power dynamics between Shannon and John, the refreshing change in friendship dynamics on Salt Lake, beginning with Lisa and Meredith, and Monica's fresh-air introduction to the franchise (while being connected to Jen). When life gives you lemons, try not to date them - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 456!

Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo? Tampa, prob. After watching the...shall we say, confounding, reunion finale for Atlanta, Sarah looks for one of the remaining peaches Drew brought to set as a prop. She realizes it's past its expiration date (kind of like this season) and instead Zooms up someone with the freshest takes on all things Housewives (maybe Sherée should skip this one), New York Times best-selling author, Michael Arceneaux (I Can't Date Jesus, I Don't Want to Die Poor). They settle into their respective Zoom windows (shoutout muscle relaxers and prayer), and deep dive the disconcerting narrative around Drew's sexuality, Ralph's continued emotional manipulation about and toward his wife (and truly odd energy with his 'cousin' Courtney), Kenya's powerhouse aside (and Ralph's unsuccessful effort to shame her into silence), and the wildest part of the reunion (surprisingly, not Drew's scene-into-song). Meanwhile, RHONY once again pulled through, and Sarah and Michael mentioned it all: the difference between sharing vulnerability and emotion, the connection between Jenna's childhood-into-adulthood circumstances and her reluctance to engage in some group dialogue, Jessel's definition of privilege, and Brynn's misplaced upset about Jenna's name reveal. Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 455!

Sarah watches the newest ep of Orange County and immediately orders various "SG" branded pillows, rugs, toothpaste, and sand. After realizing she also needs an AG Kiki that is anything but standard, she sends an engraved mirrored invite to Bravo pal Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, Pot Psychology podcaster, and owner of pipe dreams.fun). They discuss continued speculation about Carl and Lindsay's breakup (and the complicated dynamics in relation to addiction recovery on reality TV), why Heather Dubrow's display of wealth is not at the core of cast upset, Shannon's toxic togetherness with David and John, Heather Gay's diminished credibility, why a fight about bathtub PDA is reminiscent of classic RHONY, and the concerning financial education Kim is teaching her kids before and during her split from Kroy. Sarah is dealing with back pain, which she prefers to seeing Jen Shah be a pain in the neck - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 454!

And the lord said, Lo - not you Bosworth, the other meaning of the word - I shall pass on to thee season 4 of Salt Lake City, and anoint you, dear viewers, to tell the tale of everyone not named Shah. And the people said, yay-ish. Sarah receives the biblical scroll also known as RHOSLC's season opener, and feels the need to spread the good word. And some of those words? Perhaps not only good. But hopeful! She deep dives the ways to understand a previously idealized Housewife as one living her life in a complicated but human parallel (Heather, ahem), the possibly-forced hope placed upon Housewife friendships that seemed truly beyond repair at/after the reunion (Heather and Lisa, Heather and Whitney, Meredith and Whitney, Meredith and Lisa, Sarah and Heather, Jen Shah and the Secret Service), Mary's complicated return (in all the ways), Monica's Jen Aydin energy, and yes, oh yes, Angie K's biblically bad style. And this episode wouldn't be complete without a meditation/prayer for Salt Lake, in a moment of faith that will bring the Bravo community together. Blessed be the snowflake (not so fast - the literal kind) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 453! Winter is here.

What better way to mark Labor Day than appreciating a guest for doing some heavy lifting. Inspired by a RHONY ep all about taking flight (of fancy, and sass), Sarah books a steerage ticket with multiple stops en route to the Real Housewives Institute. While there, she Zooms up Founder and President (and the New York Times bestselling author of The Housewives: The Real Story of the Real Housewives), Dame Brian Moylan. They settle into row 53, and buckle up for a bumpy ride (only when discussing Kim Zolciak-Biermann-Zolciak Again, bless). Among this journey: deep diving possible reasons behind a continued animus for Emily and Gina, what to do with Atlanta's present and future (and why the cast need not carry the brunt of the critique), whether a few return OGs could help re-focus the franchise, the othering of Jenna from the rest of her RHONY cast, an unfortunate equalization of Jenna's health condition with her interest in flying in a premium section (and the minimization of her expressed feelings through positivity instead of active listening), and which RHONY may be in for a rude awakening between self-perception and audience critique. Beware the ides of March, and march into Delta's Sky Club instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 452!

There have been several historic moments in AG's recording history: when the spirit of Bobby Zarin turned off the electricity in Sarah's apt; when breaking news confirmed the death of Dennis Shields; when Scandoval broke. And lo, another shocker hath arrived: when Sarah and Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo find out mid-recording that betrothed Summer House stars Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard have ended their engagement. A deactivation mere weeks after her bridal shower. And not a sandwich could be found. Instead, this episode is quite a dish: reactions in the moment to Carl and Lindsay's shocking split, the difficulty navigating moments of vulnerability in public, let alone with a partner who is also in the cast, and what this means for the show. And speaking of shows: Shan! They deep dive this week's RHOC: Heather's continued tension with everyone not named Terry Dubrow, the contradictory spin around Shannon's CPS 'reveal' (and why Emily's counter was so key), and the mutual mistrust between Shan and Gina underneath their battle royale. Summer should be fun, and this breakup, not fun (ahem, Paige) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 451!

Just a couple New Yorkers, trying to find Hoboken on a map. Sarah runs to the cloffice armed with dirty laundry (Ralph's BS, and socks), and realizes there's only one person with whom she wants to deep dive: eternal NYC treasure, and a Bravoholic pal, Christine Biancavilla. Sarah charges her a roll of quarters to enter the cloff, where they deep dive Ralph's intrinsic disinterest in his wife, Courtney's work as a friend-of (to Ralph and Ralph alone), how to process stakes when discussing Drew, Jessel Taank, a RHONY treasure (regardless of how long she's actually lived in New York), whether Erin was overreacting to Sai's appetite for honesty and Nobu, Brynn's flirting with Abe, and how on earth a Real Housewife could fly coach. Sarah needs to Uber Pool on the Dubrow PJ to Vegas, and this convo soars just as much - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 450!

Sarah would like to humbly extend a Ramona-style apology to the state of New Jersey, city of Vegas, and cats.

Tonight is Atlanta's season finale, and with the reunion trailer just released, Sarah realizes she needs an expert to discuss which peaches are fresh (and why this season feels stale). So she Zooms up one of her Bravoholic pals, news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They discuss processing forms of trauma as entertainment, what a shocking Rolling Stone exposé on Below Deck says about the ways toxic men are protected, their reactions to the Atlanta reunion trailer (and how to calibrate stakes when discussing Drew and Ralph), a possibly-surprising comparison between RHOA and Married to Medicine, and the difficulties in critiquing a Housewife for not having a "storyline." Hold on to your shoes, and this convo - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 449!

TW: this episode includes discussion about sexual misconduct and sexual assault.

When life hands you lemons, put 9 contract extensions in a bowl for Shan. Inspired by another triumphant episode for Sarah's broken bird queen, she invites Bravoholic pal and writer girl Tom Smyth to the cloffice, in order to fully unpack all things Orange County and more. Before that happens, however, they had to react to the And Just Like That Finale (spoiler alert!), what Mary's return to Salt Lake means for friends-of the world over, and yes, oh yes, so much about Shan. Orange County giveth and giveth more: Shan's definition of friendship as a selectively silent vessel and her spiritual kinship with Valerie Cherish, what's really underneath Emily and Heather's upset (and Tamra's slowly building narrative against Madame Chateau Dubrow), what Gina's boundaries re-set says about the sometimes-performative nature of Housewives friendships, and a connection between Heather's shocking reveal about John Janssen's interest in the limelight and the difference between privacy and control. Shan might be Seeing Red, and we *do* need to see that - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 448!

Desperado for a Bethenny news blackout after last week, Sarah attends a 24-hour silent retreat, where she almost achieves Zen until her spidey senses tingle and she realizes that yes, Bethenny Ann is now unloading on commentors on IG and releasing yet another Scandoval ep. So she finds TLC by breaking it down with one of her besties, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of Mention it All, and creator of Bravo By Betches). They settle into the cloff to discuss Bethenny's disconcerting narrative with one person's truth vs fact, Jessel's focus on opportunity for her kids' education (access to fancypants adults), why Erin's sister was attempting to produce the rest of the cast (a spectacular failure, god bless), Brynn's reality TV birthright (the woman was meant to be on RHONY), and what on earth is going to happen to RHUGT 4 (amid a Bravocon clue). Diamonds are a girl's best friend, and this convo is a sparkler - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 447!

Watch What Happens Five is on hiatus, and AG Classic is readying for its crown! Continuing a record-breaking week of episode drops, Sarah decides to BReal - with a return to form, an episode that yes, includes some Bethenny/Rachel discourse, but also so much more. And who better to join her for a New Beginning than a new guest, Bravoholic, social media manager, and "Twitter gay" (we love a brand ID), Jarett Wieselman. They settle into a AG Zoom kiki and discuss the process of osmosis for Housewives and perception vs. reality brand identity, the trust fall exercise around vulnerability sharing, Sanya and Drew's complicated dynamics with their sisters, Kenya's "Defining Gravity" sea change/reveal, whether to internally compartmentalize or combine OG RHONY with New New York, Shannon's (romantic panic) Family Feud, and what Bethenny is getting wrong about Andy, Sandoval, Graham, VPR, and the reality reckoning equilibrium. Sarah needs a nap, so please tell Chris Manzo to stop by at four - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 446!

It's the home stretch and Sarah's bewildered that she has actually made it to the end. Consider this the final part of the holy trinity - the final (for now) chapter in Bethenny's storied interview with Rachel Leviss. Sarah mentions it all, with gusto (that might be the mocha frap): Bethenny's possible motivations for focusing network/employer responsibility repeatedly on Andy's shoulders, the differences between a PSA and media campaign, what Bethenny and Rachel get wrong about HIPAA (and why that matters when considering Bethenny's plans), the unfortunate choice to focus on one dog over another, and what Kelly Bensimon (and Carole, Sonja, Dorinda, Ramona, and Luann) might think about Bethenny's assessment of a drawn line in the sand.

Sarah dreams of an alternate universe when she can go five seconds without a life disruption from Bethenny Ann. But until that moment happens in time, she spends an hour or six unpacking part two of Bethenny's 15-part sit down with Rachel Leviss. Sarah mentions it all, with some extra zest (trademark pending for an upcoming Skinnygirl flavor). She discusses an a-ha moment relating to Bethenny's interview strategy (and what that means for Bethenny's reality reckoning campaign, Rachel, and her cast), Rachel's explosive allegations against Sandoval and the network (and Bravo's response), a therapeutic critique of one of the more staggering moments in the convo (when Bethenny reads back to Rachel what members of the cast have said), and sight-specific reflections of grace. Pass the Tipsy Girl, get a haircut like Luann, and talk about New Beginnings - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 444!

Bethenny dropped a bombshell: and Sarah had some thoughts. After listening to both Bethenny's Reality Wreckoning and Rachel Leviss surprise drops, Sarah mentions it all, in unpacking what's discussed: the similarities and differences between Sandoval's interview with Howie Mandel and Rachel/Raquel's choice to BStrong, the ways Ariana needed to be held more accountable in both Bethenny and Rachel's eyes than Sandoval (and the ways gender politics played into both their argument and the result), how Andy factored in to Bethenny's through-line of complicit behavior, and an interest in exposing 'performative friendship' as the exact opposite (at least for people who've watched more than the reunion eps, ahem ahem). This is a crisis, so BStrong - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 443!

Sarah watches Jenna Lyons IG Story auction off some of her fashion treasures on the RHONY and immediately starts to build a DeLorean from Back to the Future in order to buy half a sequined skirt. After Marty McFly tells her to try Poshmark instead, Sarah realizes another fave ensemble is an ensemble pod, one joined by her Housewives fan and friend, Alison Leiby (comedian, writer, and cohost of the podcast Ruined). They settle into another fashion destination - the cloffice, obvs - and discuss confusing levels of transparency in Bethenny's unionization drive, Orange County's continued triumph (a universe that's blessedly 5 years behind), Jessel's accidental genius, differing opinions on Erin's alpha energy and how perceived desirability may have influenced her "cackling hags" response, whether single Housewives like Brynn are infantilized by married members of the cast, reasons why RHONY is the true inverse of Salt Lake, and what two New Yorkers really think about TriBeCa. No need to serve caviar and emergency hummus quite yet, because this convo will satiate and sass - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 442!
