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

Ducking Bravo, and we are about to recap slash summarize the first six and a half episodes

of what I believe to be perhaps the best launch of any Real Housewise franchise. It's Real Housewives of Rhode Island time. You all kept telling me, you were DMing me, you're messaging me, you're posting on Patreon, you were saying you've got to check out Real Housewives of Rhode Island. I don't know anything about Rhode Island. Why would that show be good? I'll watch it later, but I kept seeing these, like, you've got to watch it. I know you're

burnt out on Beverly Hills. You're rolling your eyes at the different franchises. Please watch Rhode Island.

Like once I watch something, it's locked in.

camera. And everybody who said like, hey, times are dark. Things are stressful. There's a lot of
