DeepSummary

They reminisce about their days filming the reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, discussing their favorite memories, regrets, and the behind-the-scenes manipulation by producers.
They share stories of the wild antics they got into during high school, such as sneaking out, stealing their parents' cars, and underage drinking. They also delve into how the producers would set them up for certain storylines, splice their words out of context, and create drama that wasn't entirely representative of their real friendships.
