This week, Dolly discovers a woman who loves a chandelier, Jared O’Mara resigns after assault charges and his press chief sensationally quit via Jared’s own Twitter, and justice is served as the 4 teenagers who assaulted Melania Geymonat and Chris, in May, are charged.

We also discuss how young people get their news and the pros and cons to less television.
The High Low is now on a break for August and will be back in September!
