      @So Sexy i'm Sexy How is this bot so widespread but it's still describing one of its "Girls" as "Butter"?!

    I love the boys but Simone is the MVP of Watcher, running all of their social media. Their TikTok is incredible.

    Oh I'm loving this! As a non-native English speaker, I love getting to know this new info. And i love all the hosts!
    The fact that Simone mention her sign is really strange for me. I was raised not allowed to even get a whiff of zodiacs because it's a "sin" to "believe in superstitions". I only know *anything* about zodiacs in 2021 when I started befriending Homestuck fans, which is probably not what Simone was trying to convey. XD

    When he said "Ricky" I fully expected the next word to be "goldsworth". No hesitation. No questioning. Just "Oh hey, Ricky Goldsworth. That'll be cool."

    Haven’t finished the video but so far I’ve gotta say I applaud her for finding actual Gen-Z neologisms as opposed to AAVE that’s been around for decades but got adopted by Gen-Zs. 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
