00:16good show which lauren did not okay want to see at first because she was like i don't like i don't
00:22think i will like it you started off very aggressive well the truth needs to be told
00:27and we're gonna back up a little bit the truth needs to be told this show is so good and at first
00:33i was like i'm not watching this see this like teen telenovela i'm not doing it and then i had
00:41nothing to do on sunday and i binged the whole series and i fell in love with every single one
00:48of these little darling children she never says thank you but i'm gonna say you're welcome because
00:52i did suggest that you watch the show thank you sydney you're welcome okay who should we start
00:59with so let's start with monce because okay she her situation becomes kind of like a thing for the
01:06first half of the season so monce is like very the tomboy of the group oh absolutely she was ready
01:15to throw down super weird about growing boobs over the summer which i totally remember that summer as
01:21well when i was like what are these and i had no idea what to do with my life
01:26my boobs came late so it was just kind of like a sad yikes just like living my life and then one day
01:34i woke up and had boobs okay i was like oh that's that's cool that's awesome but now i gotta buy more
01:38to take care of it like
01:40that's why expensive i get why she's mad yeah i am too to be quite honest
01:46these things are not fun but anyway monce and caesar specifically their relationship
01:54which was fake then it was real then it was fake again because she like let olivia
02:00take him and i just really feel like we need to discuss that okay first i'm gonna we're not gonna
02:08slander olivia because why not she didn't know about monce and caesar because monce never said anything
02:13however you could read from everybody's body language that that was a thing any who until
02:19you verbally speak it it's not a thing who said that everybody it's like in the bible that's i would
02:26like to see the the chapter and the book it's in um leviticus 3 25 let's pull that up
02:37we don't have time for that but i would pull it up
02:41anyway i'm not gonna slander olivia i ended up liking her character okay monce and caesar's
02:50situation is very much kind of first of all they're just entering high school yes they are
02:55the thing that shook me a little bit was like they're having sex already
02:59okay but wait can we talk about how in the beginning of the series he kind of like exposed
03:08their relationship yes because he didn't want to get in trouble with his brother who is a gangbanger
03:12and like okay i get it like all right you wanted the reputation of like being the cool kid right
03:18but you like totally played your friend and then the truth was exposed that they were actually having
03:23sex and i was like first of all y'all are children second of all girl you still get to be mad at him
03:28because he still let the cat out of the back he definitely put her on that y'all should have
03:31kept between y'all yeah although i do kind of agree with caesar about like wanting to take the
03:36relationship public like you can only stay in the shadows with somebody for so long before you're
03:41like i'm proud of us why aren't you proud of us right so i get that i understand that but she
03:47definitely should have stayed mad about the whole like hookup thing because like that was between us
03:51oh i would have always held that against him be like remember that time go give me some ice cream
03:55remember that time give me 20 bucks remember that time
03:57you
03:59you
