The Miracle of Hope (with Joe Tapper)

Sarah takes in a night of theatre (watching old eps of Salt Lake when Jen Shah proclaimed her innocence), followed by a performance that has stayed with her ever since, featuring today's guest co-host. After watching and bawling during "The White Chip," she invites its star, actor Joe Tapper, over to the cloffice, for a hilling journey. They discuss how Joe's journey with sobriety influenced his decision to take on a play about alcohol addition, a fluency and connection between Housewives fans which can often bridge a gap around how to broach otherwise delicate convos, the ways Housewives/Vanderpump Rules/Summer House portray the complicated narrative around addiction and recovery, the complicated comms on Beverly Hills around Kyle's decision to stop drinking (and her own dynamics around Kim's alcoholism), Carl and Lala's journeys with sobriety, and more. Joe's technically been on AG before after a delightful prior cameo with his wife, and Sarah's college pal, Annaleigh Ashford, and thank goodness for a return role - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 513!
