Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Show Notes

The journey continues. Over the course of this two-parter, Sarah and AG guest cohost Lukas Thimm unpack his family's longtime friendship with "Uncle Andy" Cohen, Andy's ever-evolving relationships with Housewives over the years (hilling with Carole, never'ing with Bethenny, and a TBD on Linnethia), the WWHL that Sarah believes could hill the world, the different forms of performance/producing on RHONY (and why this season is hitting the right notes), the difference between rehearsing lines and rehearsing behaviors (bcc: Jessel and Erin), Hailey's complicated relationship with her mom (and how this impacted pre-post Gosselin decisions), Carole's ease as the secret sauce (vs. the inflexibility of the RHOC cast), which RHOSLC OG could reinvigorate the franchise with a demotion or exit, mixed emotions on the journey that is Heather Gay, amplifying women's voices on and off Bravo, and the community and connection between women and gay men. The Heather Gay curse may be the new way to describe former America's Sweethearts, and we're not talking DCC - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 835! Part 2! Thank You to AG's Sponsors!

Sarah returns refreshed and rejuvenated after a delightful 44-min-plus-commercials PJ to Moskito Island, where the only sounds heard above the ocean waves were Carole and Sai yelling about Daddy Warbucks. After singing "The sun will come out tomorrow" (a lyric named in honor of the hiatus between Seasons 15 and 16), she realizes that after an incredible week in Housewives, it's time to spend an afternoon with a Bravoholic pal ready to mention it all: Troy McEady (host of the pods "Beyond the Blinds" and "What's Your Issue"). Tofu makes them almond lattes (sorry Daisy, good help is easy to find) and leads them to the cloffice to discuss new details on Rob's dating-while-married profile (amid Tia's reaction), Robyn's work as a friend-of, Dr. Wendy vs. Gizelle, Mary's role as mediator and counselor-at-large, Whitney's turn on Quai (and her earlier promises of friendship to Meredith), unanswered questions about Bronwyn's role as a Housewife, Carole and Sai's conversation about Daddy Warbucks (and a failed argument about equalizing), Troy and Sarah's Trigger Housewives, and Jill's historic series of implosions.

The journey continues. Over the course of this two-parter, Sarah and AG guest cohost Tom Smyth deep dive their reactions to the Golden Life premiere (and whether nostalgia can carry through a season of technically new content), Sonja's upset about a RHONY interaction from a decade prior, how upset is viewed/judged when the focus is on Sai v. Carole v. Daisy, Erin's gossip about Pavit, a very strong start for Potomac, Tom's love of a possible lightning-rod RHOSLC cast member, and why he's enjoying RHOC.

Sarah realizes before taking a trip that she absolutely didn't end up taking, she needs to unpack some emotional baggage. So after putting a variety of neutrals back into the Chic Europe Sass section of the cloffice, she invites over her Bravoholic pal, writer Tom Smyth, for a spiritual opposite day (very different Housewives opinions, how blessed!). Over the course of this two-parter, Sarah and Tom deep dive their reactions to the Golden Life premiere (and whether nostalgia can carry through a season of technically new content), Sonja's upset about a RHONY interaction from a decade prior, how upset is viewed/judged when the focus is on Sai v. Carole v. Daisy, Erin's gossip about Pavit, a very strong start for Potomac, Tom's love of a possible lightning-rod RHOSLC cast member, and why he's enjoying RHOC.
