We Signed An NDA

"You're a prize ... he is not the prize." This week on VPR, it's a tale of two (broken) relationships. It's also a tale of girl's girls and not-so-girl's girls. Plus: real estate drama (congrats on your new house Ariana!), a secret Vegas makeout, very guttural breathwork with Dr. Vu, and our dearest Ann shoots her shot with a potential new boss ... Amanda and Ann are here to gab about it all.

Then, the gals talk to comedy queen and podcaster extraordinaire Aricia Skidmore-Williams (22:44) about all her wild stories from the trenches of assistanthood. Aricia's building an empire; we have no choice but to stan.

For this week's final act, Lauren Payton (from last week!) is back to talk "Swag Runoff," cool/fun/weird hand-me-downs from previous bosses (1:13:13).

"I am the final boss in his video game of redemption." On the finale of VPR Season 11, things boil over in the Bay Area. Dan gets grilled, Scheana takes the stage, and the gang, led by Lala (and perhaps fueled by the green-eyed monster), turns on Ariana. Amanda and Ann get into it all (in a raw, remote, sleepy, silly haze).

Then the gals interview comedian Jessica Svendsgaard (36:14), the beautiful bartender featured on VPR S11 in the sexy singles episode, about what it was like working for Tom, the joys of being compensated for ones labor, and her many creative pursuits.

Before they say au revoir, Ann, Amanda, and Jess share the Taylor Swift eras in which they currently reside (1:25:00).

"I'm soft now." This was an emo episode of VPR (and it wasn't even emo night). Lots of deep convos: Ariana & Lala, Lala & Jo, Jo & Schwartz. Also, Katie opts to eat another jacket rather than do a group activity with Sandoval (jacket: leather, activity: paintball).

Next on the agenda: Summer House (17:28) -- welcome to the WSANDA rotation! Tensions are high in the Hamptons. We've got a flower boy, a fancy dinner (thrown by our Lord and Savior Paige DeSorbo), and several more fights. Amanda and Ann get into it.

Then the gals get their minds blown and their worlds rocked by sexy, insightful Brooklyn-based apprentice dominatrix "Holly" (29:22). They talk lube fairies, feet pics, pay pigs, pegging, and so much more. (Also, doesn't "The Dominatrix's Apprentice" sound like an incredible movie title?)

For this week's happy ending (1:10:40), Ann and Amanda play "Safe Word" a new game where they imagine what safe words various Bravolebs might choose (this quickly devolves into free word association).

“If he had HR, he’d be fucked.” This VPR episode is a doozy for our dear Ann. She's "professional and prepared," but she's also fired (or is she?!). There's a kitchen interview (that leads to an outburst about Ann), a sparkling water tasting party (where the VPR gang inquires about and then Ariana and Tom fight about Ann), and then a cursed beach day (during which another argument breaks out about Ann). Mercury is in fact in retrograde. Ann is here to share her side of the story and Amanda is here to defend her friend to the ends of the Earth.

"SECOND of all," the gals sit down with Rebecca Leib (42:06), former celebrity psychic’s assistant and current ghost girlie. She shares some of her favorite anecdotes from her support staff jobs, including a game show hosted by Jane Lynch and a ghost hunting show that had her stay at an extremely creepy haunted mansion while tipsy. They also talk about how teeny tiny Lala, Ariana, and celebrities in general are in real life.

Before class is dismissed, they play a new game, “True Crime, Fake Crime,” (1:24:36) and tell a truly unhinged tale about Taylor Armstrong of Real Housewives fame and her imagined untimely death by candle. If you don’t understand it, you’re paying attention.

"If you care about me, I certainly care about you." Happy New Year!!! This week, catch part 2 of Amanda and Ann's interview with amazing filmmaker and creator Myah Morgenstern -- get ready for more empathetic and nuanced takes on fame, Hollywood, and what it's like to date/love/break up with a famous person (as a non-famous person)!

This convo got super juicy, so we decided not to cut stuff out and just break it up into 2 parts (if Wicked can do it, we can do it too!). If you missed part 1 (from last year haha) we definitely recommend going back and checking it out!!

Betch of the Year!!!

NOTE: The WSANDA team is working remotely from various locations right now, so everything's a little fucked up. Thanks for bearing with us!
