"Assistants don't have 'yes' and 'no' buttons." Ann and Amanda have more to say this week. They discuss Kenny Iwamasa (Matthew Perry's assistant) and the power dynamics involved when working for a celebrity boss. Then the gals cover Chappell Roan's recent statement about the predatory behavior she is facing and setting boundaries. We love Chappell. We want her to feel supported, respected, and safe enough to create the art she loves. Chappell is a treasure and we are not entitled to her! Protect Chappell!!

“He's all muscles and eyebrows.” Ann and Amanda discuss Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 (don't worry, if you haven't been watching they'll get you up to speed), the CW drama of the seas. [NOTE: Amanda is getting gum surgery this week (wish her luck!) so we won't be able to cover Monday night's Bachelorette and we're releasing this episode a couple days early! REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR WSANDA AT THE ARTAS -- see below for deets!!!]
Then you'll hear the rest of their interview with funny friend and editor extraordinaire Erin Kelly Smith (28:42)! This one's a two-parter, so if you didn't catch last week's episode, check out the first half of her interview there!
[SPOILER ALERT] Uh oh, you're TRAPPED and Ann is gonna try to get you to watch an M. Night Shyamalan movie in a new segment we're calling So Bad It's Good (1:18:04)! MANY SPOILERS! BEWARE!! But Ann promises there are many more gems in the movie (besides the plot, which she gives away 100%).

“I thought the Bachelorette was gonna be Daisy or Maria.” Ann and Amanda discuss week 6 of The Bachelorette (it's the final week before hometowns and MAN OH MAN does Sam not keep the main thing the main thing) and share some exciting nomination news (please vote for us -- see below for details).
Then they interview their funny-to-the-bone friend and esteemed Hollywood editor Erin Kelly Smith (27:02)! This one's a two-parter, so if it seems like it ends abruptly that's because it does -- come back next week to hear this wonderful woman share even more!
Before they sign off, Ann and Amanda play a word association game in the spirit of this week's disastrous group date (1:19:50)!

“His dong gets in the way ...” Ann and Amanda recap this week's episode of The Bachelorette ("deep" chats, mini mullets, sheep farming, etc.) and chat about the Paris Olympics (mostly just a penis-related pole vault mishap).
Then the gals interview very funny writer and self-proclaimed "Sabrina Carpenter gay" Jesse Esparza (23:14)! He worked at a Hollywood hotel and a celebrity Starbucks ... and he's seen some THINGS!
Before closing time, Ann and Amanda play a new game called Drunk Aunt PR (1:14:08) where they improvise very questionable advice to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

“I am clearly terrified and Sam’s not reading my emotions at all.” Ann and Amanda recap this week's episode of The Bachelorette (Devin continues to impress, Sam continues to exude republican vibes, and The Love Virgin continues to do waaaaaay too much) and chat about the Paris Olympics (really just the opening ceremony throuple).
Then a second Amanda, Friedman to be exact, enters the chat (35:49) to talk about life as a comedian and assistant to Vanderpump Rules Friend of Show Billie Lee!
Before they hop in their getaway car, Ann and Amanda offer up more Free Endorsements (1:24:21)! If you know what piece of media Amanda is referencing with soap guns (and/or if you find the part of the episode where they say what the title should have been) DM us!

"You haven't asked me to be your girlfriend yet." Ann and Amanda recap this week's episode of The Bachelorette (there's toxic thunder (down under) brewin') and the Love Island USA S6 Finale (PPG FOR LIFE).
Then the gals interview Chicago comedian, LA actor, and international delight Rebecca Shrom (24:14)! She has held many BTS jobs and likens assistant-ing to wizardry ... nice!
Before they dock this ship, Ann and Amanda talk about stuff they missed (Below Deck, The Mirage) (1:07:56)!

"We love a Robin Hood, but we don't love a stinky baby." Ann and Amanda talk The Bachelorette (feat. Dusty Devin and Dr. Dylan) and Love Island (feat. Nurse Leah aka The People's Princess).
Then the gals interview a woman who rocks ... ROCKS ... Shabana Malone (27:50)! She's been a therapist, she's been an assistant, and OH BOY does she have some juicy stories ....
To finish off this episode sandwich, Ann and Amanda talk about mayo and other goodies for our first installment of Free Endorsements (1:06:33)!

"I think he's weird ... I think he's a weird man." Ann and Amanda talk Lindsay Hubbard's (Summer House) pregnancy announcement, Ann's drug-induced kindness towards Something About Her patrons, and Katie Maloney's (VPR) defense of Ann on a popular podcast.
Then the gals interview writer, comedian, and polite, kind boy, Max Kliman (27:03) about the many things angry Hollywood people have put him through -- one of which is another harrowing tale involving soup. If I had a nickel for every time a guest has shared their soup-related work trauma on this show, I'd have two nickels ... which isn't that many, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Before they exit, Amanda and Ann recap some memorable entrances from the season premiere of The Bachelorette featuring Jenn "Jenny" Tran (1:07:31)!

"Be the water, bitch!" Ann and Amanda talk Summer House Season 9 pre-filming drama (Danielle's exit letter ... ) and speculate wildly. They also discuss the recent US presidential debate and it's reality TV-ness (and there are some striking parallels between these guys and the cast of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City).
Then the gals interview writer, comedian, and woman-who-is-so-clearly-intelligent-and-yet-so-fucking-goofy, May Darmon (27:34) about her time in the trenches of Hollywood, including a very harrowing tale about soup ... dun dun dunnnnn.
Before signing off, Amanda and Ann ask the Question of the Week: what email would ruin your workday (1:18:48)? And they end up talking about pinworms a lot ... idk why. Send us your answers please (submissions email & insta handle below)!

"I hate it, I hate it, more more more!" Ann and Amanda discuss Wet Katie's (for any first time listeners, that's VPR's Katie Maloney when wet) latest Instagram appearance, Love Island USA S6, and Traitors S3.
Then the gals interview comedian, writer, and certified sweetheart Joe Corcoran (23:08) about his 10+ years of assistant-ing in the big, wide world of entertainment. NBC Page Program, anyone?!
Before calling it quits, Amanda and Ann role play some tough Love Island breakup scenarios (1:05:28)! Maybe one of these gals will be on Love Island one day ... who knows?! (As Scar from The Lion King and the Scouts of America say, "Be Prepared!")

"So you're telling me there's a chance." Ann and Amanda discuss part 2 of the Summer House Season 8 reunion and OH how the turn tables ... no matter whose side you're on, hopefully we can all agree that it was the right decision for Carl and Lindsay to break their engagement. Also, Ann gives us an update on her first official week at Something About Her!
NOTE: We recorded this episode's intro segment on Father's Day, which was definitely challenging for Ann -- to any NDAngels who need a little extra support around Father's Day for whatever reason, the WSANDA team sends you love <3
Then the gals interview undeniably hilarious comedian and former celebrity dog walker Jackie Michele Johnson (25:28) about the A-list dogs that won her heart and destroyed her car. Tune in to hear about a disastrous girls trip, horrible boyfriends, and all the excrement that might escape you or your canine passengers in LA traffic.
Before letting Jackie go, Ann and Amanda get her expert opinions on celebrity makeup and skincare brands (1:17:32). Listen to Jackie's beauty and self care podcast Natch Beaut!

"I don't hate you. I just see you." If one thing's for sure on this season of Summer House, it's that Paige freakin' DeSorbo rides HARD for her girls. In the first installment of the SH8 Reunion, we graze the Carl-Lindsay breakup, but the real drama starts when Andy steers the conversation toward the Ciara-West summer situationship. The girlies rush to Ciara's defense and it is both beautiful and terrifying. Wonder what West's DMs are lookin like now ... ("We were all rooting for you!" - Tyra Banks)
Ann also recaps an unhinged YouTube Live show (aka verbal car crash) featuring Kyle Chan and Victoria Lee that is currently melting her brain (16:40).
Then the gals interview mensch, daytime television survivor, and supportive husband Travis Helwig (28:24). A non-Japanese writer and comedian, he worked for Ellen (Shmellen DeShmeneres), Billy on the Street, and Adam Ruins Everything, among others ... and all of that was totally fine and chill! Tune in to hear some WILD BTS stories, Travis's thoughts on NDAs, and the tale of how he made it "to Hollywood from Asbestos, Connecticut."
As we near the finish line on our 20th episode, Ann and Amanda pay homage to another volume-challenged comedian, Mr. Billy Eichner, borrowing his "For a Dollar" segment and yelling at lovely Travis who did absolutely nothing to deserve such treatment (1:20:15).

"He did you a favor." Ann and Amanda recap the Summer House Season 8 Finale ... that's right, we've reached the highly anticipated Carl-Lindsay breakup brawl. Chivalry may be dead, but girlhood is very much alive!
Then the gals talk to the wickedly talented Erin Byrne (26:48) -- comedian, writer, poet, and niche coffee order expert -- about their bonkers time working as an assistant at a heavyweight animation studio (codename: The Bears). For legal reasons, we cannot stress enough how much this studio is NOT DISNEY.
Before they tap out, Amanda and Ann play a new game called "KO Line for the Supertease" (1:18:42). To help Lindsay Hubbard prepare for the Summer House reunion tomorrow (which was filmed weeks ago WE KNOW), our hosts pitch some mic drop material for her to use on Carl.

"Choke. I don't care." In the third and final installment of the VPR Season 11 reunion*, Lala doubles down on her statements from the final moments of the season finale, but Ann and Amanda think there's more than meets the delulu. As one of our nation's tallest (and saddest) president's once said, "United we stand. Divided we fall, Lala." (You'll get it when you listen). Plus, Ann delivers Something About Her sandwiches on screen and some behind-the-scenes tidbits on pod.
*CW: This episode's VPR reunion recap includes a discussion about abuse, violence, and PTSD. If you'd prefer to skip this section, pause at 14 minutes and skip to (28:55).
Then the gals interview writer, comedian, and "Sick Little Freak" star Sarah Bebb (31:17) about her time as a mashed-potato-loving intern at "Shmeorge Shmooney's" production company and other delightfully awkward Hollywood moments!
To finish off our final VPR S11 episode, Ann, Amanda, and Sarah revisit one of their favorite segments, "Meet Me in the Sprinter Van" (01:14:20). Let us know what shows, pop culture topics, and whatever else you want us to cover next!!

“I do fetal position sobbing in private.” Amanda and Ann dive right into VPR Season 11 Reunion Part 2. Lala continues to "not understand" (read: completely disregard) her friends' boundaries. Jo pulls up a chair to address her situationship with Schwartz (and the other women defend her in a true feat of girlhood). Andy loves Ann (and we love Andy right back).
Then the gals talk to Aviel Mann Ballo (31:15), a musician, agency survivor, and absolute sweetheart who most recently worked as a writer's room assistant on the upcoming series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Warning: Interview contains adorable nerd love story. (A note from our producer: "Go Bears")
Before they relieve themselves, Ann and Amanda give us a new segment called "Freeze, NY-Pee-Pee!" (1:24:27). That's right, we're not above potty humor.

"I was very impressionable..." The VPR gang reunites (part 1) to rehash Season 11 and things start to re-heat up. Sandoval says some stupid stuff. Katie and Lala argue. Lisa is Lisa-ish.**
Next, Amanda and Ann discuss Ann's debut appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen (20:08)! Dreams really do come true!! Who brought soup to the Clubhouse? Were the gals offered coke in the bathroom? Was Ann allowed to drink her lemon drop?? You'll have to listen to find out!! (Also, if you're the PA who makes drinks at WWHL, dm us please - thanks!)
Then, the gals talk to comedian, musician, and all-around Renaissance man Zach Olsen (30:50), who was also (briefly) an assistant to Tom Sandoval (dun dun duuuuun).
To close out the show, Ann and Amanda play a game inspired by their recent trip to the WWHL Clubhouse (1:15:50)!

"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).
