Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host, Bravo, Bravo,

Ducking Bravo. And we're going to do something different today. We are going to speed run through

all of the Orange counties that I haven't seen. And then I'm also going to watch Reunion

Part 1. I'm doing this all in one. And I'm going to just rage about it. I'm going to talk about it and that's going to be the end of it until they do their final reunion, whatever that is. I think we have to normalize not having a three-part reunion for everybody. I'm just assuming I haven't looked at Orange County has a three-parter because now I feel like everybody feels like they have to have a three-parter and that's's just not true. Orange County, they could have sum this all up in one, I think. And I have been so busy this week. My apologies, first of all, that I had not put out pods in so long. I had pods half done, but I just, like, the week was so busy. I volunteered a lot. I stayed up really late watching like the election stuff come in.

It was a hell of a week. And on top of everything else, I finished Poldark. I finished it.

Was it yesterday or the day before? Completely done. All five seasons were done. It has released me.

I'm out of the grips of that show. I will say, I would very much enjoy it if they made a movie, because there's talk of that. Like, oh, we did five seasons, but, you know, the books went on a little bit, and it didn't really feel like it was the end. Make a movie. Go on and do it. Downabby squeaked out a couple of movies after the series ended. Poldart can do it too. But okay, let's get into Orange County. The last episode that I watched was called

Not So Funfetti. And since then, there has been Ho-Down-throwdown, which I have now watched. I'm halfway through going Dutch. And then I have to do Tulip Service, a source of discontent, and Reunion Part 1. Let's go. inown, Throwdown, that's where they had that cowboy party,

blah, blah, that's where, you know, Slade is there. Here's a thing. Here's the thing about Slade

and Gretchen. It's just so pathetic. Every time anything happens, she runs to him. She calls him.

She gets him involved. And yet she's on camera. I'm watching her, you know, in a confessional saying,

like, state doesn't get involved in anything. And it's a woman. And the women are the ones who get

slayed involved. No, you are. You get slayed involved in everything. Why? Because he got nothing else

going on. Then I saw Emily doing her same storyline of the Innocence Project. Now, you all know,

or Innocence Center, as it's called whatever she's allegedly contributing to, hopefully

doing good work with. You all know, I have a good friend who works for the Innocence Project.

The work that she did is astounding, heartbreaking, so important.

I'm very aware of the good that that program does.

What frustrates me, as you know, if you heard my recaps from last season and the season before that, and every time Emily does this, there's a complete disconnect between her

being like, and poor so-and-so was sent to prison when he was 15.

You know, he was convicted of a crime

that he didn't commit. And there's never a connection between, and this is why we shouldn't
