A Simple Plan: Part 2 (with Rafi D'Angelo)
June 08, 2024 07:05 - 54 minutes - 50.3 MBSarah watches the OC trailer and immediately books an Uber Pool to the moon (what better location to dance with franchise stars, especially with BravoCon 2024's location confirmed as "your heart"). Deflated a bit by some of the stressors in Franklin Lakes, she takes a Via back to earth, thankful for a *two-hour* double episode with one of her absolute fave Bravoholic voices: writer Rafi D'Angelo (overpricedvodka.com).

Turning the Paige on West: Part 1 of the Summer House Reunion
June 07, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBSarah watches part 1 of the Summer House reunion, and runs to the cloffice to record a triage-style ep with such haste that she nearly falls over the desk. Undeterred by such small inconveniences, she focuses on the big picture: shocking new details about West and Ciara's post-filming situationship, petty puppetry (who is Geppetto in West's narrative? the audience?), good guy cosplay, Paige DeSorbo, girl's girl, Danielle's part time gig as the president and CEO of leaking ish, Captain Lee's ...
RHONJ: Classy, Boujie, Ratchet
June 04, 2024 07:00 - 56 minutes - 51.3 MBSarah hears about Frank's proposal to Dolo, and immediate takes a Benadryl (random mall diamonds and wind up toys? This is a crisis). Luckily, inspiration comes in many forms, and this week's NJ is no exception. She unpacks some nuanced forms of escapism when it comes to NJ's family matters, production's season goals (survival?), Jackie's promise ring of 'truth' to Teresa and Jen, Melissa and Danielle’s convo about family and possible regret, and Teresa's anger delay. Don't spell napalm unle...
Keeping Score: A RHONJ Deep Dive
June 02, 2024 07:05 - 53 minutes - 49.3 MBSarah volunteers to join Dolo's charity softball league (listen, if "Dr." Sara can use a title she doesn't deserve, then Sarah is a neurosurgeon). Undeterred after Dolo demures, she hits a home run (or at least day dreams about a certain RHONJ son and, ahem, second base), with a RHONJ deep dive catch-up: an evolving opinion on book gate, the importance of validating grief, Danielle's family fracture, the impact of Tre vs. Joe and Melissa for the kids, Rachel and Fessler's convo about Teresa ...
Your Reunion's in the Pool: Chaos in Franklin Lakes
June 02, 2024 07:00 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MBBreaking news from Bravo HQ (cough cough "sources" cough cough) - the RHONJ reunion is off, with an alleged alternate arrangement TBD. Sarah reacts to the breaking news that the RHONJ reunion has been demoted to friend-of. She shares the specifics about what those "sources" said, the future of RHONJ surely facing at *least* a massive cull, comparisons to the decision around RHONY S13, what "doing my job" actually means (bcc: Lala, who's obviously confused), and who is likely on the chopping ...
Deactivated: A Summer House Finale Deep Dive
May 31, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBSarah takes a silent drive with Carl from the Summer House. After realizing her cackle was being secretly recorded (very Jill Zarin coded, tbh), she realizes the best way to bring truth to light is mentioning it all. So Sarah power walks back to the cloff, where she unpacks the ups, downs, and yes, LOLs from tonight's intense finale ep, Carl's repositioning of his "chic c'est la vie" sit down with Linds, some Ariana-coded energy in Lindsay's girl code scene, a misinterpretation of what partn...
Breaking the Fourth Wall, and Each Other: Part 3 of the Pump Rules Reunion
May 29, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MBLord, lord, lord. Sarah watches the Vanderpump Rules reunion P3, and finds a safe space in which to unpack what she allegedly witnessed (the cloffice, natch). She deep dives her triage-style thoughts: Lala and Scheana's spiritual 1099, the impasse of breaking the fourth wall vs. displaying any interest in remaining friends, Lala Kent, lean, mean, fighting machine, the finale gotcha moment that landed with a thud, a lack of respect for Ariana's upset, and how the show moves forward after this...

On part 2 of this two part Sassafrass Spectacular, Sarah and Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo deep dive all things RHONJ. They discuss Teresa and Louis' love match, the difficulty of bypassing 'that' phone call without more information, Jen Fessler's friend/friend-of energy, Paulie's proposal sass, and a more relaxed tenor to the franchise. Don't be fooled by the rocks that he got - because they may be fraudulent Cartier - it's Andy's Girls,...
This Is Me...Now (Part 1 with Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo)
May 26, 2024 07:00 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBSarah jumps into her Back to the Future style Uber Pool Lyft Line, and takes a little journey to the early aughts. On part 1 of this two part Sassafrass Spectacular, she debates all things Bennifer now and then, with one of her fave truth tellers: content creator and host of the pod "High & Low," Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They discuss the evolution (or not) of all things Jen and Ben, the impact of her not quite creative or financial success on Prime, and whether or not they would choose a b...
Lala Land: Part 2 of the Pump Rules Reunion
May 25, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 55.2 MBSarah watches part 2 of the Pump Rules reunion, and listens to latest update cast pods, and realizes, dear lord, for an episode that wasn't great, there's still some ish to say. So she discusses Kristen and Schwartz' latest feels about Jo (and a SATC-era book someone should Prime her, stat), Lala's version - and vision - of "truth" on and off TV, Scheana's upset about an audience/Ariana perspective that challenges her record of loyalty, and the show's inconsistent appraisal of rage (girls ca...
RHONJ: Tinker Tailor Is Jen a Soldier Spy
May 23, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBSarah takes a break from watching La La Land (the VPR reunion cycle), and takes a little visit to Franklin Lakes. Remember that show, RHONJ? The one that is currently airing, right now? She has, spoiler alert, a couple things to say: Jen Fessler's reasoning for maintaining a cordial relationship with Tre (a seedling has been planted, Tre Huggers), the differences in how Marg and Rachel express upset about her disloyalty, manila folders on RHONJ vs. Miami, Danielle's active listening, and the...

They deep dive all things VPR: Lala's "soft girl era," support of Brock as an active parent, what Jeremiah and production got very wrong about a male gaze on women's rage (and empathy), putting an expiration date on Ariana's feels, and whether or not Katie is "playing a friend," as Lala suggests.

Intent vs. Impact: Part 1 of the Pump Rules Reunion
May 17, 2024 07:00 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MBSarah unpacks P1 of the VPR reunion.

The Giving Tre (with Abbey Bonadies)
May 14, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBSarah pulls out her back (sympathy pains after watching Ariana and Katie carry VPR).

They grab spots on the People's People's Couch, and discuss RHONJ's current cast stalemate, the difficulty of talking about RHONJ teams through a purity test, some spiritual...

May 11, 2024 07:00 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MBSarah Uber Pools to Satriale's to pick up a RHONJ premiere watch nosh: the best vegan GF a gal can find in the land of Sopranos and baritones. After being laughed out of Tony’s HQ and Bada-Bing (so, no green juice then?) she drives immediately to Peacock to triple watch the premiere ep.

Dorit and PK Separate (Who Gets Custody of Boy George?)
May 10, 2024 07:00 - 52 minutes - 47.7 MBSarah hears the news about Dorit and PK's separation (in Celine, natch), and rushes to the cloff to record an emergency ep: what this news means for the show, their reported (everywhere but Bravo) debts, Dorit's estranged friendship with Kyle, and the breaking news that Andy has been cleared by an outside investigation over allegations made by Leah McSweeney and Brandi Glanville (and what their lawyers said in response), and his latest thoughts on the reality reckoning.

Moments before a shelf in the cloff collapses, she's joined by her Bravoholic pal, Gibson Johns (host of the pod, "Gabbing with Gib").

April 30, 2024 07:00 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MBSarah watched the most recent Summer House about 14 times, and has some things to say. She mentions it all: the "why these people shouldn't get married" episode bookends between Carl and Lindsay (with special guest stars Carl's mom and stepdad, and also LinkedIn), confusion around the choice to feature an extremely-not pixelated shot of Danielle's tush and her reactions to Gabby's upset, why the after show is an absolute much watch companion piece to main episodes (complicating everything, S...
