Andy Cohen (0:01)

Hey, it's Andy Cohen here with this week's chapter of Andy Cohen's Daddy Diaries Podcast. The high highs and low lows of my life as a daddy to two kids and dozens of housewives. Joining me as always is my co-host, John Hill.

SPEAKER_2 (0:16)

Hey, John.

Andy Cohen (0:17)

Hola. This week was a short one.

SPEAKER_2 (0:19)

We had a lot to talk about. My son is hustling people out of money at school. I don't know.

Andy Cohen (0:26)

We did a lot of listener mail. Let me tell you this. It was a real hodgepodge of conversations and a lot of laughs.

SPEAKER_2 (0:37)

All right.

This is Andy Cohen's Daddy Diaries Podcast.

Wednesday, October 7, 2026 Good morning, everybody. I am Andrew Joseph Cohen. That's my government name. Don't wear it out. I'm here with John Arthur Hill. Hey, John.

John Hill (1:01)

Good morning.

Andy Cohen (1:02)

It is Wednesday. It's a big day. I've been up since six. My kids are cute. My boyfriend's cute. Y'all are cute. There is so much to talk about. I was in LA last Friday. I did the Orange County Reunion.

That was a really great day.

SPEAKER_2 (1:24)

Wait until you see Vicky at this reunion.

Andy Cohen (1:27)

I don't even want to spoil it, but 20 years in, the woman remains the same.

John Hill (1:34)

I did finish Girls Trip.

Andy Cohen (1:36)

Wasn't it great?

John Hill (1:38)

You were right. She has a redemption arc.

Andy Cohen (1:41)

She does. She does. And they all really, I mean, you also, listen, I think, I loved Ultimate Girls Trip. I think Portia and Giselle were like, the Greek chorus, we all didn't realize we needed. They were so great.

But you really saw them start to kind of get and appreciate Vicky. And as the viewer, it makes you kind of start to forgive her a little bit, I feel like. When I tell you that it was so surreal for me walking into Bluestone Manor and you saw me drive in in that 1920s car. By the way, it was, I was supposed to surprise them and land in a helicopter on the lawn.

It was torrential snow and it was also below zero. It was so cold.

John Hill (2:39)

You did look like the Monopoly man.

Andy Cohen (2:40)

Yes, I was in tails. I had my hair did.

They had me waiting at the bottom of the driveway and they had me get in this car with no heat, by the way, of course, in this 1920s car. I had to learn how to drive it. They had me drive up this, by the way, her driveway is long. And then, of course, when I saw the show, I was like, why don't y'all make me drive up that whole driveway in that cold car? They had me miked. I was talking in the car. They're like, you can say anything. I'm like, this is so exciting. I'm doing all thing.

Well, I mean, none of it was shown. By the way, I can't complain.

SPEAKER_2 (3:25)

That's how the edit works.

Andy Cohen (3:27)

It was much more interesting to see what was going on in the party than out of the party. But walking in to that place that I had seen on TV so many times.

John Hill (3:39)

You'd never been there before.

SPEAKER_2 (3:40)

I had never.

John Hill (3:41)

I assumed you had. Everybody's been there.

Andy Cohen (3:44)

I know.

I had never been there, but also it was Housewives from everywhere. I wrote that speech on the way up there. I was like, I want to make a toast. So I wrote it. It was a long drive up there. Wrote the speech on the way. I read it off my phone. I wish I had memorized it. I wish I had really done better with the speech, but it is what it is. And I had so much fun pulling people aside for chats and stuff and throwing a little wood into the fire. And it was really fun. I didn't want to leave. I was there like 90 minutes at the party, and I went into Video Village. And then I was like, I could tell the producers were like, Get out. Okay, it's a wrap on you. I was like, I was ready to stay and party, but it was really fun.

That show was everything we wanted it to be.

SPEAKER_2 (4:52)

I have to say, it was really, it was quite fun.

John Hill (4:56)

I wish we would have had the luxury of shooting a little bit longer with them, maybe, but it was the only thing. But it was exactly right.
