Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host Bravo Bravo, Bravo, Ducking, Bravo. I am back from a trip.

Do you call camping a vacation? I don't. I survived something. I don't know if I had a vacation, though.

And service was spotty, but I was keeping an eye on things. I saw

stuff that was happening in the Bravo sphere. So today we're going to recap episode six of Real Housewives

of New Jersey, and we're going to talk about some topical things going on in the world.

Once a year. Once a year, I let my family convince me to go on a camping trip. And at some point during the trip, I almost have a breakdown. And I look at myself in the mirror where I just say to myself, this is not who you are. This is not what you're about. And that's okay. Now, the issue for me is cleanliness. I really like to be clean. I don't like to do the swamp shower, the shower where you just take a little bit of

wetness and you slip, slap it on your underarms. I don't like that. I want a full head to toe

scrub as if I have been exposed to radioactive waste at the end of every single day, especially a day

when I have been out of doors, sweating. I don't want to have to turn off the water and keep soaping up with no water flow. I don't want it to be cold water. I want it to be hot water. I want to work up a good lather. I want to fully wash my hair, brush it out, the whole thing. I don't want to be rushed. I don't want people watching me asking me what I'm doing. When am I going to be done?

And that, in a nutshell, is why camping is not for me.

I'm spoiled by the first world that I live in, but I also look back upon those who came before me and say, they worked so hard to get me here.

So many sacrifices were made for me to have a home with hot water that I can take shower with.

And why would I purposely say, no, I don't want that.

Like I'll go out there and enjoy it.

But I just think when it comes time to go night night, that's when I got to peel off.

And that's when I need to go do what I need to do.

And why is that bad? I'll come back for breakfast. Because the whole time I'm on display, on display, on display. People ask me what's going on? What's you doing? You're taking, yeah, yeah, I'm trying to do some self-care. And there was a beach. A beach was involved. so we're relaxing on the beach.

And the second I said beach,

hopefully any of you

who were questioning the beach. And the second I said beach,

hopefully any of you who were questioning the shower, now you get it. Because when you're in a

beach, especially a beach on the east coast, which we were, the wind blows, the surf is active.
