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

and we are going to recap The Valley in a timely fashion. You know, high and low, it's the name of the pod.

It's also my mental state. I ebb and I flow. I'm feeling very alert right now because the hot water heater is broken in my house and I just had to take a cold shower. Now some psycho people like my husband enjoy taking a cold shower. They yell through it. They say, oh, that was so good for me. I don't like it. I cursed the whole time and then that made me start laughing. And so I'm just cursing and laughing in there like a crazy person. And then Margo, my God, she has such a fetish. I'm actually really concerned. You know, there's a heat wave going on right now in America. And I've got a little little side porch area and Margo will not come inside. She likes the heat. Margo is my cat for anyone who's not aware of that. She's panting under a little table. I'm like, come inside. I'm

begging her. I'm shaking treats. I'm like, come inside. She likes it. I'm putting a little bowl of ice water right near her, tapping it, touching her little nose. Like, Margo, please drink a little water. I have my alarm set because in an hour, I'm going to go up there and just, I'm going to grab her and make her come inside. It's like 95 degrees. She's in a full fur coat out there just panting under a table. What is this? And then I'm already concerned for people delivering mail and packages because they keep seeing on my TikTok for you page where people are almost having heat stroke out here trying to deliver the mail and stuff. And it's like, why don't they have a door? I know because

they're supposed to like reach out and it would, but they could do a little open and closed side door and they could be, they could have an air-conditioned vehicle. I don't know what the best thing to do is. I was going to offer popsicles. You know what I could do? I could get little gatorades. I don't even really drink Gatorade, but I could get little Gatorades and maybe like little coconut waters

and put them in like a cooler at the driveway. I could do that. Okay, good talk. I'm glad we found the solution. Now let's do this. Let's recap the Valley. This is season two, episode 11, L. Coyote Ugly. Other than previews from the one I just recapped, I don't know what's going to happen in this episode. I haven't seen anything about it. I haven't read one comment. The very first thing we see is a warning about flashing light and strobing for any photosensitive viewers. What's happening in this episode? We kick it off with a scene between Luke and Kristen at their new home. They're having a lovely lunch. They're discussing her fertility. And Luke stands out to me so much in this scene. He's saying, first of all, he's like rocking a gold chain. He's looking good. Like his style evolution, I'm enjoying it on the show. So that's first of all. Secondly, what he's saying to her, which is, I want to help you. I want to make sure that I'm helping you to keep your stress down. I don't want you to feel like it's all on your shoulders. If there's anything else that you feel like I can be doing, I want to be doing it. Love it! In a confessional, he's saying that they're not alike in all ways, but they're alike in the ways that matter. The way they want to have a family, the way they care for each other and love each other. This is amazing. He's saying in the confessional, I'm not going anywhere. I'm here for the long haul. I'm here forever. Back in the kitchen, she tells him, I think you're doing everything that you can. It's a really sweet moment. He is so endearing with her. Very direct. No BS. I really like Luke. Don't disappoint us, Luke. Don't do it. Never do it. Now we have Danny and Nia going to lunch with Zach and Benji, and they're talking about

a whole world. Luke. Don't disappoint us, Luke. Don't do it. Never do it. Now we have Danny and Nia going to lunch

with Zach and Benji and they're talking about Hawaii. And Nia says to Zach, I know that you know when

he smiles. How did Zach figure it out? He said it's just from seeing how Luke has been behaving with

Kristen. He's observant. But this is useful, though, because Nia is saying, look,

we're supposed to be the ones that are leading this trip. It's supposed to be hosted by us,

but we would never invite Janet and Jason the way that they're treating us right now. So can you

please do that? Which is wild because Zach and Janet are still kind of, are they okay now? Maybe, but all right.

In a confessional, Zach is saying that it's so ironic to him that now he's going to be inviting

Janet on a group trip when last year, and this is exactly what I thought of too, Zach,

last year you were the only one not invited. Was it to Big Bear? I think so. Yes, it was Big Bear. And they showed the clip of Jack's announcing it to big bear i think so yes it was big bear and they showed the clip of

jacks announcing it to everyone saying and unfortunately you're not invited to zach oh that was so mean

and members zach cried but the same time now we know why now we know because there were absolutely

horrible things that were said to janet or she heard about them and that's why she didn't invite him.

Being a Valley Watcher is not for the faint of heart. So right there at the table, the four of them

decide, you know what? Let's go ahead and just do a FaceTime call to Kristen, invite her right now

as the four of us all deciding, let's just go to Maui. So they call her, it goes great. She's so
