Summer is coming, and with the temperatures rising on RHORI, Sarah realizes she needs a spiritual WaterFire in the cloff: an artistic expression of love for her home town and thriving Housewives franchise. And who better to mention it all than a fellow RI native living in NYC, who has more than a few things to say - and celebrate - Matty Maggiacomo (Peloton instructor, pop culture enthusiast, and theatre queen, who is also the host of "Drama Club with Matty"). After lighting a shiva candle near a bottle of Mayor's Own, they unpack a surprising family connection (a true RI story!), their thoughts on the highs, lows (none), and whoas of the season so far, Bravo 101 and the skill of Real Housewives technique, Matty's experience kiki'ing with the cast at Peloton HQ (and the advice he gave them), pizza chips v. strips (important!), reactions to the mid-season trailer, and what the show is getting so right about mixing high drama, camp, comedy, and grounding, connective experiences with marriage and family dynamics. Chard and Ed, this convo is for you - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 794!

Highlighted Organizations Supporting Civilians in Israel and Palestine:

Women Wage Peace: Women Wage Peace is the largest grassroots peace movement in Israel whose purpose is to promote a political agreement, involving women in the process. Today the movement has more than 44,000 members.

NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation. The organization empowers Muslims, Jews and allies to bridge divisions and leverage shared values to strengthen our communities and our fragile democracy.

Standing Together: Standing Together  is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible.

Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/
