Andy Cohen’s Endless List of Cultural Offenses

0:00Hello and welcome to your final summer Friday edition of the Nerve. We bid summer to you. I am your host, Maureen Callahan, Marlena, surprised me yet again. Today's show is all about one of the Nerve's top repeat offenders, a top cultural repeat offender, Andrew Cohen, Andy Cohen, coming at you. Then tomorrow we have an all new mini-nerve. And when I tell you it was all hands on deck this week, Marlena and I were out in the field reporting, bringing original stuff back to you. This is another one. You guys love it when we bang this guy like the cultural pinnata he is. We cannot wait. Be sure to join us tomorrow. Brand new mini 10 am over on YouTube until then.

1:01Trouble makers. Are you ready? Are you ready? Let's go. Okay, Mobrose, listen up. This one's for you if you are still wearing the same basic underwear you've been buying forever.

It's s-h-e-a-t-h.com slash nerve and use code nerve for 20% off. Sheath, the underwear of legends. And thank you to Sheath for sponsoring this episode. Bravo zone, Andy Cohen, known in these parts as Andrew Cohen, has not only blocked the nerve on social media. He's blocked me. He's blocked Marlena. He's blocked our segment producer who identifies as such on social media. We died. We died when we realized this. We were talking about, should we do Andy? Should we do him this week? We've been- this one's been marinating for a bit.

3:03And then when we started to see what he was up to or tried to see what he was up to on social media, we were like, why can't we see anything? Why has he disappeared? He's disappeared. I- Marlena, I can't get him. Can you get him? Like is his social media down? Has he scrubbed it for some reason? You know, there's this lawsuit coming up in September and it's a banger. Perhaps he's just trying to get ahead of that. So we reached out to other people in our realm and they were able to get on to Andy's social media. And we said, that's it. He's getting it. He's getting it. So Andy, we know you're watching. We know. You know, it's very gratifying, very, very gratifying, not least because, you know, Andy would have us believe that he is a media mastermind for the ages. That not-since say Andy Warhol has someone really had a level of insight into how media

4:03works, how to dominate media, how to manipulate media, where media is going. And he thinks that by blocking me and Marlena, that we're not going to be able to figure out how to find out what this trick is up to on social media, he hasn't realized that by doing so, even he is one of his BFFs. Our favorite Spritly 900-year-old heroine, Sarah Jessica Parker, hasn't blocked me or the nerve or Marlena. She's smart enough to know you just make yourself a bigger target when you do that. Even Meghan Markle hasn't blocked the nerve or me. And we know, well, we suspect heavily with good reason, just our supposition that she reads my columns over at the Daily Mail that are highly, highly critical of her. And that's putting it mildly. But Andy Cohen, like all bullies, cannot take it. He cannot take it. And so he blocked us in a fit of rage.

5:05I mean, again, just my supposition, I don't know. Thanks, Andy. We begin. Now, as discussed, and we'll get into the meat of this lawsuit. But Andy and Bravo and NBC Universal, the parent company, attempted to have this lawsuit thrown out, brought by former Housewife of New York City, Leah McStreamer, and Leah McStweeney, who is alleging some very serious misconduct. And the judge said, no, this lawsuit is valid and this lawsuit is going to go forward in a court of law. And Andy's been playing clean up culturally. The nerve sees through it. People magazine plays along because that's what they do. They're forever in a supplicant position on their knees, you know, ready to do whatever. The nerve sees through it, Andy, whose attendance at and hosting of, and again, I'm just going to say, this is the open rumor in New York media circles, low these many years.

6:08Okay, I have heard it from someone in a direct position to know. One of Andy Cohen's favorite pastimes is a sex party. And when the nerve lays out reportedly allegedly, okay, now when the nerve lays out our evidence to you, the cultural jury, we think you'll probably find that believable. But because this lawsuit is coming up, we have got to domesticate ourselves and we've got to get wholesome. We've must get wholesome and feminist and feminist. It's not going to pass muster at the nerve. Now recently, and I mean recently, like in June, we got totally spontaneous, not at all planned paparazzi images of Andy recently spotted on vacation with rumored new boyfriend, Kevin Sobiaski, by the way, age appropriate, which is another thing that we're going to talk about. This one's age appropriate and this one's official.

7:09This one's Instagram official. In Miami, this was posted on the gossip site, just Jared on June 4th. We're looking at three images of Andy with the boyfriend in Miami. Okay. And then, the magazine, their report updated June 9th, 2025, their headline, who is Andy Cohen's boyfriend, all about Kevin Sobiaski, I am electrified. I quote from this article, the reality TV mogul shared that they met in July 2025, trouble-maker jury, please note, July 2025, we have a timeline that has been established. Prosecutors love nothing more than a timeline. Myself included. So they met in July 2025 and have been going strong since, okay? Going strong since. Now that implies that it's been monogamous, right? Cohen says, I have to say it's been so easy.

8:1211 months, we've not had one fight. It's not a real relationship. It's my opinion, just my opinion. Cohen continues, we haven't had a disagreement. We just few life the same way. And one year later, I still can't believe I found him how sweet. This guy tells on himself all the time, when we get to what really lights Andy up, what Ryan, psycho arsonist Ryan, put that big lighter away. This is not about you today. It's not about you. Be thankful. Here's Andy on his eponymous Sirius XM channel radio Andy on June 8th, 2026, declaring his newfound domestic happiness. Here we go. Okay, so let's talk, real talk here. I feel like if you've been listening to this show, maybe you've gotten a sense that something's

9:13going on with me. And this fella and I have been holding hands all over town, you guys. So it's wild that there were photographs taken the other night and people are sent to me. You were at via Corota. What did you expect? I've been in that restaurant holding hands with him for the whole time in the restaurant outside of it. Never. I didn't see a paparazzi. Whatever. Because the nerve has well established through our year long tenure, year plus long tenure, long may we reign. These celebrities call these paparazzi themselves. Okay, these guys are not wandering around New York City, hoping that they encounter the likes of Andy Cohen with his new official boyfriend blowing this story wide open. No one really gives a shit Andy and no one really believes it either. At least over here. Now we're going to look at those images which were posted by Du Mour on June 3rd.

10:16And here is why I believe Andy staged these photos because Andy is a fame whore. They're Andy, Andy can spot a camera in the wild, a camera lens from a million miles away. And in this case, Andy is curiously not looking at the camera. Look at these images. He's curiously not looking at the camera. He is dressed by the way to be photographed. This isn't a like end of the day out of work clothes. Especially when you spend your day as Andy does shooting and being television ready. Most of the time, the impulse is to get out of said clothes into something a little more comfortable and out you go and you're not camera ready. Andy's got makeup on in that photo. I can tell you. I kind of look just also casual. It's like Megan Markle in Montecito, you know, when she goes out in 90 degree weather wearing her floor length Max Mara wool cashmere blend $4,000 coat and a paparazzi just happens to

11:21get that photo. It's all deliberate. It's all deliberate. Back to Andy on radio and the being nice and wholesome here. We go. I am really happy to say that I met. I met the person you guys. For now, for now, trust me once this once we're through this lawsuit, I guarantee you this guy is on retainer and Kevin, I'm just you think this is there's really no risk in doing something like this. If my theory of the case is correct, I would direct you to one step and ground. And if something should happen to you, should you go missing, I have to warn you ahead of time. Teddy Van Halen has his pause full. He is not going to be able to even deputize trouble to orchestrate a true search for you. Proceed with caution, my man. Proceed with caution. Radio Andy, by the way, has fewer than 43,000 subscribers on YouTube.

12:26The nerve dwarfs him in many ways. I mean, he is a pocket. He's what they call a pocket guy. You know what I mean? Okay. Anyway. Andy is getting for nearly a year. Andy says dating for nearly a year. His self report as ratified in people magazine. Now people magazine culturally is our court stenographer, our celebrity court stenographer. So if it's in people, it's true. They are not in the business of alienating celebrities. He went on call her daddy October 29th, 2025. Okay. Months in to this happiest, smoothest, most wholesome of relationships. Here he is talking to Alex Cooper. This is a mere eight months ago about his grinder profile pick and how he curated that and remember. He said, I recall this phrase because I thought it was again, it felt so artificial that he

13:31had been teaking it with the new boyfriend, slow and smart. So this isn't sex party, Andy anymore. Allegedly, reportedly. Here we go. Okay. Are you going on dates? Yes. You are. I go on some dates. It's, you know, I have kids, obviously. And so dating is really children. And I meet two kind of people. People that I want to sleep with and people that I want to date. And we all do. So and people that I want to date and sleep with, obviously, that's the dream. That's the goal. But so, you know, yeah. If you are trying to impress a man, what are you doing on a first date? I don't try to impress. No. No. I mean, what do you mean try to impress? Like are you. Andy. Get rid of that. No. No. Because you're like working. I know. I don't. I wouldn't try to impress someone. Okay. I would go ahead. They would want to be with me or not.

14:31I don't want to be with some, you know, Slurpy twink. First of all, yes, he's Bravo's Andy Cohen. He's not going to try to impress anybody. Secondly, he doesn't want to be with some Slurpy twink. I would simply remove the adjective from that statement. I think a twink is fine. I think a twink is more than fine. And we will get to our evidence. Slurpy, he doesn't, he'd, he'd, that he would not, he would not prefer. Back to Andy Cohen, who still has the nerve and me and Marlena and Alyssa or segment producer blocked, blocked. I tell you blocked. We love it. We love it. I received an email, which I do have to open my laptop now because it's on my laptop. I'm a troublemaker named Jack. And this troublemaker said, love the mini about Andy's debauchery. And noted that we did bring up the radar online article that detailed Andy Cohen's relationship

15:36with a 28 year old when Andy was 47. And I also alluded to a well-sourced person having told me directly that Andy likes them even younger than 28. And by which I mean teenagers. That is the report that I have from a very well-sourced person directly. Jack, this troublemaker's rights, as you may know, Andy regularly features attractive male bartenders as I candy on watch what happens live. I do. He has admitted Jack writes to hooking up with one of them in the past. I did not realize that. Jack continues in 2016. Andy had on a 17 year old boy named Frankie Catania bartending on his show and openly flirted with him throughout the episode. I am familiar with Frankie Catania because he is the son of New Jersey housewife Doris

16:41Catania. And when I tell you how sick and fucked up this ecosystem is, if I had a teenage son, first of all, I wouldn't be anywhere near reality television, let alone the housewives. But secondly, I would never let him anywhere near the likes of Andy Cohen, who by the way probably thought he was being cute and clever and getting away with it by doing it in plain sight by doing it on television because people would think, oh, he's just being fun and cute and flirty. There's nothing sinister here. Otherwise, why would he do it on TV? That is exactly the point. That is the trick. That is the Jedi mind fuck right there. Catania Jack writes was born on October 8th. I love troublemakers. You guys are the fucking best. Catania was born on October 8th, 1998. This episode aired on July 31st, 2016. So Frank was indeed a minor. This episode season 13 episode 129. Hi Andy.

17:43Appears to be scrubbed from the internet. But here are some remaining screenshots and tweets from fans who are already calling it in appropriate at the time. Thank you Jack for sending these screenshots and these comments about Andy. Andy seemed like a perv last night. Andy Cohen is shamelessly hitting on Frank Catania. Andy, he's 17. Keep your tips coming. Keep your tips coming. We're going to get Andy fucking flushed out of the culture. As we head into colder months, it can be tough to stay on track with a wellness routine.

19:49Andy, one Andrew Cohen, okay, this was amazing. The timing of this stuff, impeccable. The nerves mini dropped almost two weeks ago now, okay? One week and one day after our mini aired in which we opened it by saying, guess what? Andy Cohen has blocked the nerve on social media along with me personally, Marlena personally, and one of our producers personally, he went Instagram official with his new boyfriend. Instagram official. We're no longer sex party, Andy. We're no longer drug taking sex party, Andy who's making lots of money off of the human carnage that we cultivate, promote, promulgate, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're whole semandi now. Yeah, of course there's like this major lawsuit coming up in September that's accusing

20:51him of all manner of degradation. This has nothing to do with that whatsoever. No, don't be silly. Now, Bravo officially announced this on their official website just to hammer it home, okay? And then before their report, they put some key takeaways on top of the report. So it's like a little cliff notes version for everybody in case they, in case reading the full report, it proves to challenging. So the key takeaways are, per the official Bravo report. Number one, Andy Cohen made his relationship with boyfriend Instagram official by sharing a date night photo on July 18th. To Bravo personalities, including Kyle Cook, Kate Chastain and aside, Kate Chastain being the Bravo Liberty who was next to Andy in that video that was sent allegedly to Brandy

21:51Glanville in which Andy's eyes were dead or the usual like they were blacker than usual. He looked fucking black out drunk. I don't know what he was on allegedly just my supposition, but it was, it was Andy and Kate Chastain saying to Brandy and this is graphic, I'm just going to warn you, hey, Brandy, guess what, guess what? We're fucking tonight. And you know what we're going to do? We're going to talk about you the whole time. So it's almost like you're here. It's like we're having a threesome. Do you want to join? Do you want to, do you want to join us on FaceTime? That was Brandy's boss. Other Bravo personalities, including Tamara Judge and Captain Sandy Yon publicly celebrated the couple in the comments, point number three, Andy Cohen revealed. I'm on pins and needles. The couple met at a Hamptons party in the summer of 2025. Definitely not a sex party. Definitely not. And said his boyfriend has formed a strong bond with his children after a slow and intentional

22:54introduction into family life. Here's the photo. Again, we're domesticated Andy now. Okay. Posted this pic on July 18th, five days later, a summer Friday, the caption date night, heart emoji star emoji rainbow emoji sun emoji thunder emoji. Days after that. Andy posted this video. Now this video wound up in my feed because it went out to page six and other news outlets. I guess Andy does want to make sure that we at the nerve can see what he's up to, even if he's peevishly, patchy-lently, childishly blocked us. I guess on principle, as if Andy Cohen has principles, moral, ethical or otherwise, get the fuck out. Because I mean, this thing, again, the the fates fortune what have you smiles upon the nerve. They want the nerve to continue growing and winning.

23:58And it was it was 12 minutes after when I checked Instagram and here this was top in my feed. You know how we talked in the mini? We we buttoned up Andy's sad life and career of just degradation and grossness and a lack of talent really because he stuck a bravo. He'll never get out of bravo. Despite, you know, openly lusting for like that chair next to Kelly Rippa, like one of his friends, one of his friends from the Hamptons. Kelly knows she's no dummy. Andy we we buttoned that whole segment up by reminding everybody that and that the possibly the worst thing Andy has ever done was dumping his dog. His dog of like seven years named Waka who he went on and on and on about on that satellite and talk show he hosts in any number of books that he's published on social media. Waka had changed his life.

24:58Waka had made him a different man, a better man. What's better than a dog? Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Seven years later he dumps the dog and he blames it on having a baby. Let's roll this video of Andy on July 22nd. It was posted on Andy's Instagram on July 22nd. Guess what he's doing now? He's definitely not reacting to the nerve. He's definitely not reacting to the nerve. He's simply reuniting with the dog he dumped. Here we go. I am happy to report that I am with an old old friend. Say hi. He hung over. Why the sunglasses? Say hi. You changed my life. The dog is thoroughly disinterested in him. He's like, yeah, I smell you. I don't I don't want to change my life. Give me up to everything. And I'm so lucky and I'm so much better for it. This dog is like getting out of here. I'm not expensive. We're having. Sure, Andy.

25:59Okay, that's it. Here's, you want my impression of Andy? Just based on things that most of everyone in the media has heard low these many years. This would be a more accurate depiction of what Andy's up to on a sunny summer day. Andy Cohen wants to be in with all the real deal. I mean, it's dying anyway. Why does he care? But when Stephen Colbert was leaving and all the late night guys got together for that podcast and Stephen Colbert talked about how he wanted to fuck Scarlett Johansson and all that. And he's like, why aren't I invited to this round table of wits? I have a late night talk show. Why aren't I included? And they're like, we don't want you. We don't want to talk to you about it. They don't like him. They just don't like him. When Jimmy, when Jimmy Kibble came back after exiting for a few days, I don't think it's we go.

27:00So it's just a few days. He found to all his fellow late night co-hosts and he forgot to mention Andy. He didn't forget. He didn't mention Andy. And then the next day he apologized. So this is not the first time this has happened. Andy, yes, strictly, desperately wants to be part of this club. Vanity Fair, great and Carter did a piece on all the late night hosts many years ago. And it was a, they didn't include Andy. They just, no. And I think it's because that show, they looked down then, knows that. They think it's a silly reality show. And you know, Andy can be annoying. There's no doubt about that. But he's one of them. That's so I believe. Do you know who asked that? They don't include Greg on Fox News. He's a late night show host. I am. And he gets more ratings than all of them combined. And so Andy here, I think, yeah, it's just that, it's that click, it's that thing that happened at school when you're either in the cool crowd or you weren't. And it's just not part of that group. And the more he tries to be accepted, the meaner they are. They are mean girls, Andy. I'm not, I don't often defend Andy Cohen, but I'm going to hear you better off without

28:01the man. You are better off without it. He is better off. He is better off. He is better off. He is better off. He is better off. He is better off. I'm not this, you know, Andy made a big deal about going public with this age appropriate man. I think he's 42 who Andy says he's been seeing for like the past year. And he said something akin to like, I think this is right. I was taking it slow and smart now. Many of us in the New York media world have heard tell of sex parties at Andrew Cohen's house. Okay. I'm not allegedly reportedly nothing wrong with it, consenting adults and all. But I wonder if Andy trying to now portray himself as a serious adult in a committed monogamous relationship is Andy trying to get ahead of something. There's a lot to come and go up in just a few weeks. Liam McSwainy, one of the real high size of New York suits brother and she's got the receipt. She's got the email. She was on Bravo when Andy was at his sloppiest when we'd see him as drunk or looking

29:03appearing to be drunk maybe even something else. And all bunch into Andy at the boom boom boom where he was there five nights away. We've all seen him out like it's not like he's Mary Poppins. We know that he is and those kids never see him. Those children never see him. These kids and oldest kids are going to need a lifetime of surfing. We're on the cover of People magazine. Have we met? Have we met? I hope the heck they're familiar but you're having back after the shoot. And so they all let me tell you this. This is such a good gossip. So we also came magazine. We used to pay millions of dollars to photograph the babies and there was one celebrity that wanted the check. We couldn't give them the check until the issue. It's news stands because if a picture leaks out and million dollars for it, it's blowing. And so the babies, so there's somebody baby when should you shoot the baby? This one celebrity wanted us to shoot the baby within like days of the birth to get the check quickly. I think we blinded this baby like this baby had opened his eyes.

30:04This baby had it after birth on its tail. This baby, we could have bled the baby. We can't keep shooting the baby. The baby's eyes are like twitching like this. So these celebrities, when you see a kid on the cover of a magazine, it's not always there for the right reasons after money. But the bad to Andy is lawsuits coming up and not my words. I got it right about Ryan and Blake. I'm going to get it right about Andy. We're going to see Andy pushing his kids around in Australia. We're going to see the kids. They're going to be at the park with this new nice guy. Andy has had a very colorful voice. And when he was enjoying that, he was also on the house twice. She knows this. He's got the receipt. She's got the text. She's got the e-bals. So what she's about to present is going to be so delicious and he's going to try and counter it by having lots of pictures of him. Happy nice sensible boyfriend and kids.

31:05The dog's mind when he comes back. He might get the dog back. My dog is exactly. That's what he is. You know, NBC Universal tried to get the judge to throw Liam McSweeney's lawsuit out. And the judge said no, no, no, this can go forward. She's got it. She should go forward. Guess what else we're going to brace yourselves to see in your Instagram feed. Andy driving out to the Hamptons with the two kids. And oh, my God, they're driving me crazy. I'm just trying to get through the L.I.E. Andy Cohen accused of hiring still blocked, still blocked. I don't know gratifying. He's accused of hiring Madonna's daughter, Mercy James, who is 20 to work backstage at watch what happens live. Madonna come and get your daughter. Nothing good happens around Andy Cohen. We know this. That's right. To run for the hills. So, Andy's been a longtime Madonna fan. If he's asked me and asked many times, what's the one guess? Who's the one guess you'd like to be on your show that you've never got?

32:07He always says Madonna. I've been to Madonna concerts and I've seen him try to get her attention. He puts it all on. He's jumping up and down. It really hurts him that Madonna does have some relationship with Anderson Cooper, who is his friend, but she doesn't have a relationship with Andy Cohen. There is no way that Andy would have hired this young lady to work at his show if it didn't benefit Andy. He's going to use this as bait to get the queen there, but I don't think going on his show is enough. I think he wants to be friends with Madonna. Oh, yeah. Not going to happen. He's dying. He's gagging for it. I just want to show this really funny clip of Andy. This is how Andy will debase himself. A television camera wherever it is. On QVC Rob. On busy Philipses. Short-lived, failed talk show. On QVC. Two years ago. Okay. She's asking him about his failure to secure Madonna for a watch, what happens live appearance. This is one year before the nerve ever existed.

33:10Team Madonna all fucking day long. Here we go. Patty LaPone did come. Did, did come Madonna. A movie killer. A movie killer. She did. That was rough. Yes. I called me a trouble making queen last time I saw her in concert. She's like, you're talking about me on your show. You're a trouble making queen. That's our, that's our appellation for Andy from now until Kingdom come. Trouble making queen. Trouble making queen. Trouble making queen. It's a, it's a title here. He wears it as an art of band and then. He loves her so much. He wants her so much and it really does give me so much pleasure that she just flicks him away like a fly. She's like an ad. She doesn't want it. No. If you're someone who loves the ritual of coffee but you don't always love the actual caffeine, check out mud water. It's a great alternative for your mornings.

35:15Please support our show. Tell them you are a troublemaker and that the nerve sent you. Your exclusive rob from naughty but nice Andy Cohen's CNN days are numbered under new owners sources telling naughty but nice that insiders increasingly believe Cohen could be among the first high profile casualties once the network's ownership changes. People are already talking inside the business as though his time is winding down. He is a liberal New Yorker who has never hidden his disdain for Trump and Maga world. Many insiders don't see him fitting into the next chapter. Now this we're talking about Barry Weiss coming in. She's already she's rolling heads over at CBS. It's a mess over there. Andy's best friend Anderson Cooper quit 60 minutes. He said he did not want to work for Barry Weiss.

36:17If she comes over to CNN Anderson may walk from CNN but she is reportedly allegedly no fan of Andy's what do you know? Yeah, that's exactly right. Barry Weiss the sky, skydance sky horse. They're going to get CNN. It's it's the L.S. and it's it's going to happen. And so these are the same people that bought CBS and you know surprise when you get a new boss they bring in their people that there's no there's no shame in that. There's nothing about that that that that is wrong. What is wrong is is thinking that you can somehow somehow you're you're so important to an organization that it can't continue with. Actually and is a really easy person to fire. He works for four hours once a year under year. This year he was on a few days ago because of the Fourth of July but that it that was a special and that show was always very controversial within CNN. The drinking the maddening off. The going after the mayor. The going after Trump. The going after public officials. He always made journalists at CNN very very uncomfortable but the ratings were good and

37:21he's best friend got him the job. I get that Anderson Cooper has a lot of power at CNN but the staff the people that really do the work not on camera the people behind the scenes working day in day out on on real credible journalism they never liked Andy Cohen. He turned up as a show pony and he's ridiculous. And he would admit that and his and his success is that he's so over the top and he has very strong opinions and an away do Williams type of way. He would say them and that's what has made him so successful. A brother and what has made him so successful doing that New Year's Eve countdown at CNN. The difference now is the new bosses are not like that. They don't want a show pony. They don't want somebody standing on ceremony. They don't want somebody insulting the president and his family. Andy to insulted them. He used to be an intern at CBS. He was a book when I first met Andy. He was a booker on the morning show at CBS and so they asked him what he thought about

38:22the new management and he said it's a mess and it's falling apart. You can't criticize people. This isn't just in TV. It's any job. I can't say terrible things about somebody who's going to be my boss. If I'm buying your company, I'm going to come in and I'm going to give you all a chance. But if you can't keep that mouth shut, you're going to be gone. And Andy doesn't need this job financially. I think he likes it because it's another job he loves being on TV. Although he gets enough hours on TV every day. You think he would be happy. But Andy's going to be out. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Andy's easy to fire. They can fire Andy and nobody will notice. The big questions are going to be Anderson. What are they going to do with Anderson? He's made it very clear. He won't work with Barry Weiss. Well, guess what? She's in the new boss. So leave. Anderson will leave. Andy will be fired and the two of them will start a podcast together. That's exactly what it is. That's what's going to happen. And by the way, I think that this will really hurt Andy Cohen. I think emotionally this will be a huge blow to his ego, Rob, because forever he has

39:25been trying to catapult himself out of Bravo into media gigs that feel more credible at least to him. For ever, he has wanted that chair next to Kelly Ripa. Yes. One of his BFFs. Yeah, I knew it when he's Instagram. He's Twitter changed from Bravo Andy to Andy. He took the bravo. Oh. Yeah, he used to be Bravo Andy and that's not his Andy. He loves the money from the high slides. He loves the fact that he's just bought a new house in the Hamptons. He loves the bravo. He doesn't talk about that on a future Nervat night. He doesn't want the stench of Bravo. And so Andy would love to legitimize himself. And I think that's what he's trying to do, particularly if this big court case coming up, Liam is one of the high-spice in New York is, as she said, she's got receipts, she's got emails, she's got the receipts, and she's going to show them. You're right. Andy, CNN legitimized Andy. He would have loved and so it's going to hurt him more than Anderson Cooper. Andy Cohen, OK, this is too good.

40:29There were members of Nerv HQ texting this to me and it's an immediate yes. OK, so we all know how Andy Cohen is out there in these mean streets squawking on and on about being in a very happy relationship with his boyfriend who doesn't care about the housewives. He told Craig Melvin, like the guy, like he doesn't care about celebrity junk and like he doesn't even, he's never even seen an episode of Housewives, which is code for like he's with me for me, not because I'm like famous or I'm like paying him a monthly retainer. Just a guess, just my guess. Because as you know, Andy is facing a very, very serious lawsuit in New York in September or October in which many, many nefarious things are alleged. And Andy is I think, you know, the nurse theory of the case is that Andy's trying to clean himself up and domesticate himself.

41:29He's going public with a boyfriend who is age appropriate 12 years younger, but still generationally appropriate. He's reunited with the dog that he dumped and we're going to show trouble maker art involving Teddy and Andy's former dog. And he's showing architectural digest the house he built on the ocean in the Hamptons that is definitely not designed for sex parties. No, no, no. It's designed for his small children. I defy him to give me their current whereabouts at the moment. Like the nannies are raising those kids. Anyway, so there's this guy named Rob, excuse me, Robert, Sepul that a junior. Who went on Instagram and wanted to let Andy's official boyfriend, Kevin Sobiaski, know that he saw Andy on a dating app called Field and it's spelled F-E-E-L-D.

42:32Now I asked a member of Team Nurf who is definitely not Marlena because Marlena will do a lot for the show, but there are two things she will not do. She will not buy a cafe on Amazon for any sort of set or prop work we want to do because she is afraid of what the algorithm will push her way and or that Homeland Security may knock on her door. Number two, she will not go on dating apps that are designed for promissuous gay men. She won't do it. I don't know why, but she pushed that off to somebody else on Team Nurf, who I don't know. But anyway, this person came back and reported, I think everybody just wants their anonymity here. That Field is an alternative location based dating and social app designed for open-minded individuals, couples and the curious. Reddit says it's kink friendly. So we know, I think, just my opinion that Robert Sepul of a junior is telling the truth.

43:35Okay, this is a post that we're going to show from someone who goes by Mr. Housewives directed toward Andy's boyfriend, Kevin Sobiaski. Kevin get out of this man. Your name is already getting muddied on August 5th, 2026. And Robert himself is a practitioner of the reality show Arts. He was on a dating show called Finding Prince Charming that aired on logo back in 2016. So Robert is an out game man as well. And he took to Instagram to publicly claim that none other than Andrew Cohen messaged him on field on July 8th of this year. July 8th. He claims he got a voice message from Andy on the app. Okay? On said date. And he also sent to DM to Kevin directly informing him Andy's activity. Want to know what he wrote? Yeah, here's what he wrote. Hey, Kevin. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

44:37Andy is on field with an anonymous profile. I have a profile there too, but my face is hidden. He actually messaged me thinking I was someone else. Once I told him it was me, I've known him for about 10 years. He said it would be quote dangerous if anything happened. Dangerous is a weird word. I think Andy Stark. I think the guy is fucking dark. It would be dangerous if anything happened because I've been on a few TV shows. So what? So what? Andy just rolls around in that reality world. He loves people who've been on TV. Robert continues to Kevin in this alleged DM, which I believe. Hey, if you two have an open relationship, then no worries at all. If not, I'd probably pay attention because he's clearly looking for someone. Or something else. Andy has always been a bit of a flanderer. Here's the name of the app, along with the voice memo I sent him before I blocked him.

45:40I think every day, Andy wakes up and thinks that one of the smartest things he's ever done was blocking the nerve and me and Marlena, at least one of our producers. I also think that Robert is being very generous in this assessment because I just think Kevin's a botan-paid for public relations beard. Kevin's supposed to make Andy look respectable now. You saw the same slimy sludgy guy he ever was, just my opinion. Now, Trouble Maker, Alison, sent this art in and it was so good. We put it on our substack. I put it on my personal Instagram account. Now, I'm sharing it with all the Trouble Makers. This is Teddy taking Walker's statement. That's Teddy from the back. That's Walker. We think Walker's being very truthful.

46:42He's got both paws on the table. He's not even looking at the bowl of treats. Teddy's taking notes from Walker's report that he was minding his own business when he's former owner, accosted him on the street and poor Walker wants nothing to do with this. As I said, number one, it's cut out of that. The whole image, you can see a bunch of other dogs in the background waiting to give their own report to Ted. Secondly, a cup of coffee to which I said, I didn't even know Teddy was drinking coffee now. I'm really worried about that, dude. He is fully grown, but like, how he stunts everything and he's already so compact. I'm very proud of him for being the kind of investigator that I think a traumatized dog like Walker feels he can trust. I think, you know, Teddy does believe he is the Olivia Benson of Canine Criminal Investigations.
