We Listen, and We Don't Judge (with Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo)

Tis the season for lists of grievances sent to Santa and Hanukkah Harry and Festivus Frank. Oh yes, and joy. Sarah is thankful to have received two great gifts from Bravo HQ this holiday season: Dorit's smoking-hot IDGAF era, and every single second that is Salt Lake. She Zooms up one of the Bravoholic community's greatest gifts, her pal affectionately known as BBDB, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High & Low"). They light a menorah next to Sarah's shrine to P...

The Sun Also Rises: Part 2 (with Tom Smyth)

The journey continues. Sarah and AG guest co-host Tom Smyth head on over to the land of diamonds and rosé, and ya know, denim. They unpack Dorit's continued flight into the stratosphere of entertainment, the name on everybody's lips but Camille's (...Erika Roxie Hart), tabloid speculation about Dorit's plans to file for divorce. Garcelle's decision to circle back to Dorit's robbery and 'clarify' her thinking on a possible inside job, and Kyle, sweet, sweet Kyle. It's the holiday season, and this...

The Sun Also Rises: Part 1 (with Tom Smyth)

Sarah puts on her best Santa/Hanukkah Harry ensemble (sweats and an Uber Pool to Bergdorf), and gives the gift of an early drop of this episode! She's joined by her Bravoholic pal, writer and artiste behind Milk and Don't Call Me Honey's iconique masterpiece's, Tom Smyth. On part 1: it's all about SLC, Santa baby! They deep dive the twists and turns behind Bronwyn's reveal about 'infidelity' (and her WWHL clarity, with Todd in the audience, natch), Heather's turnaround on that boat meltdown, Lis...

Closing the Beador on Alexis and John

Those seven lemons in a bowl were missing their friends! News breaks that Alexis aka Alexis and John aka John featuring Alexis aka John are not returning to RHOC for Season 19, and a nation breathes a sigh of relief. Shan nation, that is. Anyhoo, Alexis was dropped by the side of the road and Sarah had some thoughts. GOING ROGUE FROM THE CLOFFICE: NEWS AT 11.

I Can't Stop Thinking About: The Demise of Kandi and Phaedra (with Erica Cobb)

While Sarah takes a breather following the passing of her dad, affectionately known as Chard, she's excited to continue a brand new series thanks to some incredible Bravoholic pals: "I Can't Stop Thinking About" (inspired by an iconique New York Magazine series). Today's guest host is the amazing Erica Cobb, a Bravoholic frequent guest co-host on the pod, recent co-host of "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP Awards nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb."

There Are Giants in the Sky: Part 2 (with Dylan Hafer)

The journey continues. Sarah and guest co-host Dylan Hafer talk their highs, lows, and whoas from Salt Lake City and Beverly Hills: Kyle and Dorit's disagreement about Teddi Jo Carrot, Sutton's friendship ribbon cutting ceremony, Bronwyn and Lisa Barlow's battle of villas and friendship intimacy, the joy of watching Meredith's bat mitzvah (another mitzvah: gifting $200 bottles of shampoo and conditioner), Mary and Robert Junior's vulnerable and heartbreaking conversation, and the joy of watching...

There Are Giants In the Sky: Part 1 (with Dylan Hafer)

Sarah watches the newest episode of Salt Lake, and realizes that her hilling journey has high body count hair. Inspired by her spiritual blonde self, but dismayed that an Osmond hasn't yet gifted her crotchless lingerie (can someone please tell Donny or Marie to direct Santa to Nordstrom Rack), she realizes the greatest gift is time with one of her Bravoholic Besties, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetche...

Rules for Thee, Not for Me (A RHOBH Deep Dive)

Sarah is still taking a moment to breathe (after finding out Teddi has moved into Kyle's part time, a moment was needed), but found that a RHOBH catch-up viewing in RI necessitated a deep dive. Dorit is just that good! She unpacks the ever-winding road of Kyle v. Dorit, allegations (by Team Kyle?) about Dorit and PK's made-for-tv split, Mauricio's detached persona, Bozoma "Boz" Saint John's so-far-triumphant entrance to the franchise, and a perhaps surprising take on Erika Jayne. RHOBH is trucki...

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone But Alexis and John (An AG Throwback: Did Alexis Put 9 in a Bowl)

Need a break from Thanksgiving weekend? This throwback episode has just enough chaos to satiate. Straight from the cloffice archives, and a release inspired by RHOC's reunion finale. Truly one of the most important podcast episodes of all time. Tell the Pulitzer committee, and Susan Peabody: this is one for the books. Sarah receives a shocking text message from BBDB: did Alexis sneak a Shan joke into her proposal? Sarah drops everything to find out the truth. With thanks to Josh Lyman and Leo Mc...

A Very Bravo Friendsgiving (with The Talk of Shame's Kiki Monique)

It's Thanksgiving, a holiday named after Sarah’s feelings for Shannon Beador, and the cloffice is feeling thanks. Picture AGs and creators gathered around their dining tables, with accompanied table setting shrines to Chris Manzo, and GF vegan tofurky splendor for all to share. Fun fact: the name turkey came from the Greek orgin, Turkeyopolous, and is defined as "what a person feels about dating John." Sarah's feeling the holiday spirit, and Zooms up birthday girl Kiki Monique (aka content creat...

The United States of Shan (An OC Reunion Deep Dive)

The holy trinity is completed. As this season of OC comes to its ending, Sarah googles "fountain of youth" in an attempt to get a couple extra eps. Devastated that the only Google Images results are pictures of herself, she settles into downward dog position - named in honor of Alexis' trajectory and how exes have described John - and breathes through some thoughts and feels about the OC reunion completion - what Shan and Alexis shared on IG post-reunion that truly sums up a victor/victim state,...

Holly Didn't Golightly: A RHOSLC Deep Dive

Sarah stands outside of Tiffany & Co. wearing wildly spirited blunt bags that appear in every direction (much like a Salt Lake City cast lunch). Inspired by Mary's Audrey Hepburn themed event, she adds a few strands of pearls and strands a few words together about another iconic ep in Salt Lake: Bronwyn and Heather's back-and-forth about friendship loyalty and forgiveness (lol), the difference between how BH and SLC view manipulation vs. manipulation, Angie K's vulnerable and honest conversa...

Six Degrees of Separation: A RHOBH Premiere Deep Dive

Sarah puts on her best Surrealist garb (a Team Tamra t-shirt, cause ya know, it's not real life), and hitches a ride to Sutton's premiere party. She watches Kyle and Dorit tangle, and realizes this ep is in and of itself a work of art. And all masterpieces have layers to unpack: she deep dives the missing pieces about Dorit and PK's separation that the cast fills in on the after show, Dorit's decision to share Kyle's text on camera, the possibility of loving Kyle and being Team Dorit, the differ...

You in Trouble, Girl (with The Bravo Docket's Angela Angotti)

Sarah watches an episode of the People's Court, and realizes that it wouldn't take a jury to acquit Shan of all charges (Johnny J read that sentence and filed an immediate appeal). Inspired, Sarah Zooms up her Bravoholic pal, and a lawyer in practice at the Bravo Supreme Court, Angela Angotti (co-host of The Bravo Docket pod). They put on their best girl boss attire (literally anything, cause that's how girl bosses roll), and unpack the latest legal developments in the Bravo universe (and how Br...

Don't Put Me In, Coach (with Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo)

Sarah watches the Orange County reunion and Salt Lake City extended ep and is almost able to successfully erase memories of New New York. Almost. Deterred by the fact that that silver memory stick remote yada from Men in Black is not yet avail on Amazon Prime, she realizes the next best option is a Bravoholic bestie in the prime of her (pod) life: content creator and host of the pod "High & Low," Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. After forgetting to fully introduce her until a solid 30 minutes into...

Based on New Information (An OC Deep Dive Follow-Up)

Call it a to be continued, "Back From the Future"-style. Thanks to some updated receipts (thanks, Bravo Docket), and Sarah's AG mission statement ("normalize changing your mind based on new information"), Sarah sits down for an OC reunion part 1 rewatch, and deepens perspectives on the dynamics between Emily, Katie, Heather...and us. Orange County may be over next week (waaaaaa), but the convo is ongoing - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 611! Support the sass: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/damegalli J...

Get Off Your High Horse: A Teddi Jo Mellencamp Accountability Coaching (with Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo)

If this is Teddi's definition of All In... Sarah hears the breaking news details about Teddi Mellencamp's alleged affair with her horse trainer while his wife was giving birth, and knows immediately that she simply has to record an emergency ep. So she sends an SOS bat call to AG's official accountability coach, content creator and "High & Low" podcast host, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. BBDB and Sarah put on a few thousand-dollar cowboy hats (it's what Kyle would want, in addition to silence),...

Calling the Shots (A RHOSLC Deep Dive)

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), and ...

In the Words of Heather Dubrow: I'm Still Speaking (A RHOC Deep Dive)

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, a ...

Red, White, and Ramona Blue: An Election Day Bravo Sound Bath (For Hilling)

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), and S...

How Could You Do This to Me Question Mark: Part 2 (with Dylan Hafer)

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 in ...

How Could You Do This to Me Question Mark: Part 1 (with Dylan Hafer)

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 sta...

Tamra's Halloween Costume is Being a Good Friend (A RHOC Deep Dive Halloween Spectacular)

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, but...

Mob Scene (A RHOSLC Deep Dive)

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 place t...

Match Pointless (A RHONY Deep Dive)

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' diam...

Grounded (with Gibson Johns)

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 background e...

Across the Universe (with Erica Cobb)

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 and ...

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 unp...
