Sarah hides in steerage on Todd and Bronwyn's private jet - coincidentally, their luggage compartment is more comfortable than economy plus - and has her own ladies who launch (grenades) weekend in Palm Springs. With a balmy heat of precisely 130 degrees (and that's just measuring the temperature between Bronwyn and Barlow, natch). Sarah lounges in the bathtub meant for Meredith Marks (turns out hanging a sign that says "Welcome to Ohio" is the perfect way to steer her toward another door),...

Lord, lord, lord. This country has drained me. After a few days spent staring at various walls in her apartment (better content than New New York, so there's that), Sarah takes a deep breath, thinks about Archie Beador, and, technically speaking, talks. She shares her feelings on post-election feelings (breaking news: people have some), and deep dives RHOC: Tamra's change in volume and tone but perhaps not intention, Shannon's clear eyes, full hearts can't lose mission statement to the world,...

On a very important and critical day in this country's history (deciding whether or not RHONY's reboot can boot once more), Sarah gets out the vote. After voting (for herself for Future Bartender on WWHL Maybe But Like Also IDK TBD, Here's to 2029), she settles into her fave Miraval Spa satellite location, the cloffice, for a hilling Bravo themed sound bath. It's the number one way to calm nerves and cackle, recommended on both sides of the aisle. Ya know, groom's side (Chris Manzo's fam),...

The journey continues. On part 2, Sarah and Dylan Hafer ​​discuss whether Tamra has lost her ability to self regulate and self reflect, Jen’s heartwarming love story (...), what “done” means to Shan, the smoking gun about that babysitting convo, an extra WTF about that blog gossip involving Gina and Trav aka collateral damage, a genuinely enjoyable return to entertainment for the Potomac cast with an asterisk about Karen, Stacey’s Keyoncé energy and fight for narrative against Ashley, and an...

The cloffice is hilling, one cackle at a time. After a triumphant week in television and also New New York, Sarah realizes it's past time for her fave prescription: Vitamin SBBD. So she opens the Beador to her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD). They settle in for a short and sweet 18 hour two-part episode. On part 1: the differing ways each current franchise utilizes...

Boo! John Janssen sent a Venmo request. But this OC catchup is priceless! Sarah deep dives the last two episode of Orange County, just time to watch tonight's epic journey. And what a tale to tell: she unpacks Tamra and Shannon's text history of boundary crossing against co-stars, Gina and Emily's continued MVP championship season as the voices of reason, confusion around Katie's daughter's babysitting 411, and what on earth is going on with Heather Dubrow. Chateau Dubrow may be checked out,...

Leave the gun, take the cannoli. And a mob cash themed 25th anniversary cake. Sarah continues her hilling journey the best way she knows how: with a couple of extra thorny Roses, natch. She unpacks the last two eps of RHOSLC, a true delight: Bronwyn and Gwen's vulnerable conversation about being abandoned by a family continuing to push their self interest about their grandchild, Brittani, poor sweet poor Brittani, and her search for "safety" in all the wrong places (Jared Osmond is a bad...

Still on her hilling journey post-abdominal surgery, Sarah watches the new RHONY and finds the strength, the endurance, the willpower to screech. She settles into the cloffice for a deep dive: Brynn's manipulative interest in 'protecting' Ubah by policing her upset (coincidentally, upset aimed at her), Raquel's vulnerable moment sharing the reason why she and her mom changed their last names, Brynn's selective on-camera coaching, and Jenna's 'promise I won't tell you we're actually engaged'...

You know what brings Sarah joy? Having a bowl of 9 lemons (scientifically proven to increase one's standom of Shan), and an in-person cloffice kiki with one of her Bravoholic pals, Gibson Johns (host of the pod "Gabbing with Gib"). They send each other blink Morse code about perhaps ahem thinking about OG NY but not comparing but maybe, and unpack the difficulty of casting “grounded” Housewives (vs not of this earth), Gibson's convo with Abe (and why Househusbands are destined for a...

Still in the midst of her post-surgery hilling journey, Sarah is so so thankful for a deep dive with her fave vegan GF chicken noodle soup for the soul, and Bravoholic truth teller, Erica Cobb (recent co-host, "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP-nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show). They settle in for a round-the-world-in-60-minutes deep dive of their fave franchises, from the lack of empathy on Orange County, to the stunning interactions between Brittani...

Take off of work, because this ep is a national holiday: when the cackle has been heard, well, millions of times. Sarah turns AG 600 the best way she knows how: by talking about Shan. She lights her Pedro Pascal holy candle in the cloffice, and Zooms up one of her Bravoholic besties, also known as BBDB to AGs, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High and Low." High and low, also known as Tamra's strategy this season (more on the latter, tbh). And no better time to...

Sarah is writing show notes from the future, on her hilling journey post surgery. But who needs a future status update, when there's so much in the present to unpack. She deep dives the new episodes of RHONY and RHOP: Ubah and Sai's frustration with Brynn's apology, Stacey and Raquel's star quality, Karen's decision to create a Housewives moment (or simply be selfish AF) with Gizelle's event honoring her dad, and more. Two solid eps - we are truly blessed - it's Andy's Girls, Episode...

Sarah wakes up on surgery day with a pit in her stomach. No, not what doctors will be removing on this holy day. She hasn't had her fave travel guide Bravoholic on the pod in a minute - and not a moment too soon. So she books a trip to Wisconsin (not because her guest lives there, she wants to build a monument to Britani’s toast), and Zooms up her pal, Richie Skye (pop culture expert and travel enthusiast). After discussing Richie's love of self care through globe trotting, they unpack...

Sarah realizes she needs to make some self improvements in her life, so after signing a billion-year contract with the Sea Org, and mourning that Chris Manzo and Pedro Pascal have been declared suppressive people, she heads to the new celebrity center (Nordstrom Rack). It's the perfect location for a RHONY deep dive: the somewhat baffling normalization over Becky Minkoff's very chill and normal community, remaining questions over that Bitcoin reveal between Erin and Abe, Sai and Ubah's...

Sarah goes to Whole Foods for some RHOC London themed accoutrement: Cheerios, obviously, and a $2,000 hotel suite in the organic aisle. She adds a union jack hat to her cart, and zooms home for an epic deep dive: unpacking Shannon's smoking gun text (and how Alexis and Tamra may respond), Heather's hurt about not being included in conversation about her mammogram results, a fact check on Jen's glam team, the use of "propaganda" in describing Shannon's post-accident picture reveal, John...

Sarah books a ticket to the happiest place on Earth: Milwaukee, Wisconsin (universally considered the Finland of the Midwest). Delighted by a vegan GF tofu corn dog and any number of Greek paraphernalia Angie K. left behind, she catches up on the last two eps of Salt Lake City and, wouldn't ya know, has a couple thoughts to share: Bronwyn's crash course in a first season initiation (which she has no interest in taking on without a fight), cast misconceptions about Britani 'crossing the line'...

All we (must) do is drive back, drive back. To Sunday's RHOP premiere, and a short list of 1500 follow-ups. Sarah seats herself in the cloff, and after a spiritual status update on being Hebrew in these United States (aka, lord help us, online), she deep dives the surprisingly pleasant (ahem) Potomac premiere: the editors' artistic license around that 'reenactment' (hopefully one in good standing, unlike Karen's), what it means to have a grande dame platforming seatbelt safety and not also...

A day meant for singing: praise, heckles, zest. Sarah finally, blessedly catches up on the last two episodes of Orange County, a true Rosh Hashanah gift. And what a series of New Beginnings she has to unpack. An almost entirely cough-free episode, that's how amazing Archie Beador is as a spiritual therapy guide from afar. Bedtime carrots for everyone! (Don't tell Teddi Jo.) Sarah unpacks the devastatingly funny high points (Katie and Matt's dinner party, Shannon's 60th shiva call, Alexis'...

Pneumonia won't stop the cloffice lights from going on, and neither will some other yada. Sarah welcomes herself back to the land of the living, introduces everyone to a new friend-of (Barbra Streisand-Mellencamp, soon to be surgically demoted), and deep dives the RHONY S2 premiere: Brynn's "I'm too cute to have ulterior motives" persona, a change of perspective on Sai, Jenna's spiritual (literal?) mother-in-law's Anne Meara energy, Becky Minkoff's cluelessness, the revelation that is Raquel,...

Sarah crawls out of her pneumonia cave and thinks, is the temp in the Bravo world too hot right now, or is that just a residual fever? Undeterred thanks to cough drops, ginger ale, and (true) faith, she begins her journey back to health, one DVR'd episode at a time. First up: two Orange Counties ago (time flies), where she unpacks Emily's vulnerable conversation with Heather and the cast about whether or not she is being seen/dismissed/devalued, Katie and Tamra's conversations with their kids...

Auntie Sarah has pneumonia, and realizes the best prescription (aside from hexagonal ice, obvs) is this prestige two part AG with Kristen Taekman from the cloffice archives! Original show notes from "Shmorit: Part 2" are below! "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy" star, and RHONY alum, Kristen Taekman makes her triumphant return to the pod. In this two-parter, Sarah and Kristen discuss Kristen's experiences on RHUGT, thoughts on Kelly's breakup, Bethenny's recent dinner date...

Auntie Sarah has pneumonia, and realizes the best prescription (aside from hexagonal ice, obvs) is this prestige two part AG with Kristen Taekman from the cloffice archives! Original show notes from "Shmorit: Part 1" are below! Sarah hangs a banner outside the cloffice: come, all ye Housewives, to deep dive. Immediately, the Bravoleb bat call is answered, by "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy" star, and RHONY alum, Kristen Taekman (a true double threat: Bravoholic and...

It's true. Auntie Sarah is fighting the fight for Shan stans everywhere, and also against an infection attempting to take down her cackle and lungs. For the record, the reason she got pneumonia is because of Alexis and John. Don't question the logic, it's definitely there. Just enjoy a re-listen to the Most Important Andy's Girls of All Time - Sarah's sit down in the cloffice with Sweet, Sweet Shan. Original show notes below! Well it's official, Sarah has seen the face of God. And her name is...

Time hills all, except for this insane tummy x non-COVID seasonal cough and fever sitch that has had Sarah in bed for days. Luckily, she's stopped en route to the pearly gates when her Uber Pool driver (Luis found work!) informs her that a blessed miracle hath occurred - an all-new AG recorded a day or so before she lost her voice, with her Bravoholic pal and pop culture artiste, Ryan Casey (aka DrunkDrawn). They discuss their highs, lows, and whoas of the Salt Lake City premiere, as well as,...
