I have something to tell you guys. I could tell this is the face you make when you're up to something. Yeah, I lied. Oh my God. So, there was a rumor that started at the beginning of this week here at Smosh that I booked something and that I was going to be going away for a while. It was a week-long rumor. You know, we let things spread. Um, what the hell? For the purpose of this episode. What the hell? You're kidding. We got so involved. We got so involved. You're kidding. That's so involved. I would love for you guys to continue to be involved in my presentation. So involved. More than me. So, please join me as I walk you through everything I did to scam you all and also most of the company here at Smosh. Um, did they not know? So, it all started when I first pitched what I wanted to do as my scam. Uh, this is our very first writer meeting, us being little devils. Oh my, I feel like in pain. So, this is where we came up with the scam that I am going to book a role and disappear. This is going to be my last week at Smosh. All to say that I want free donuts. That's going to be what I get in the end. Next slide. So, oh my God, what is this? You did this. On Monday is when I first needed to plant some seeds. So, I had Patrick write up some dummy sides because when you're auditioning for a big project, they usually give you some fake sides. These are the fake sides, like the script basically that they wanted me to read, and they are dumb. They are so, so, so stupid. I had Angela read them with me. Angela, tell me, stupid. You wrote these. Someone wrote these. I thought this was [ __ ] nuts. I thought these. Even told me she's like, "I had to do a self tape for Rasha. The sides were awful." Oh my God. I went to Angela during lunch and I was like, "Angela, I have a self tape I really need you to help me with," and we filmed this awful self tape. So, this is the horrific self tape that I had Angela help me with. What are we seeing? I don't know. You don't know? You graduated at the top of your class and you don't know. If what I do know is correct, and if what I'm seeing is real, then that aircraft is emitting higher vibrations than anything I've ever seen. What the hell? Okay. So bad. And then here's some behind the scenes, because Aaron sat in, which Angela just never questioned. The whole time I was like, "Why isn't Aaron reading? I want a lunch break." This is me telling Angela like, "Oh, the stakes are high. We got to be serious about this. Like, please really help me with this." Cool. All good. Thank you, Captain. Watch. I'm shocked because I'm like, "You want to do one take and send this to Marvel?" You literally said that. She goes, she goes, "And she did one take. They really wanted her." So, I started it by being like, "I've done this tape a million times. Like they just want to see it again." So Angela already is like, "Oh, like this is something you've taped over and over. Like they've seen you a ton of times." Like the stakes are raised immediately, and it's planted in Angela's head that something is getting booked. So then the next person that I obviously needed to plant the seed in was Amanda. Oh, that's not my good shirt. That's not a good shirt. Myself and Amanda were in the kitchen. I started talking to Garrett about how I wasn't going to be around for the next video and I didn't know anything, and I was like, "Oh, I guess maybe Arash is going to leave Smosh. Maybe." Yep. Y'all are. But it's just Amanda in the back and me telling Garrett that I'm going to be going away, and Amanda just kind of listening, making a bagel. I didn't get involved because I was like, "This isn't my business. I have other things to think about." So the seeds were planted. So, yeah. So then officially I had to make it a rumor to spread. So I set up a fake meeting with all of our big executives. There's Big Daddy Ian. Yeah. So, we've got this fake meeting. So, I am planting the heads of everybody at Smosh that I am going to be disappearing, that I've booked a movie that is going to be filming somewhere outside the country. There's a big glass right outside this conference room where everyone can just see this meeting happening. And then this is one of the conversations that Rachel filmed, speaking with Amanda and Angela talking about Holly in the movie. Really, [Music] says the lead from Ant-Man is from Lost. I have so much. I said, "No, the lead from Ant-Man is from Lost." Oh my God. And now there's so many details to this scam. So, this is when I started to really feel bad because people who were so far removed from this episode, I did not mean for them to get involved, started messaging me, and I had to keep up this character, this person that was just like, "Oh my God, thank you so much for your support." And it was completely fake. You're a good actor. Thank you. The rumor was going around that it was Marvel, right? Yes. Right. That's what I heard, and I was like, but if it was Marvel, she probably couldn't tell us. So, this all culminated into this morning, which had the ultimate explosion. I planned for before I came in that there would be donuts waiting for me, that our production assistant Marcus would have this whole setup, and it would say, "Congrats Arasha." And there would be several photos of my face on Marvel superheroes, basically like giving everything away. And for those of you that don't know, when you book something large like this, you cannot share any information. Like just even saying that you booked something is like a lot. Huge no-no. And that's an NDA, a non-disclosure agreement. That's how I knew you were being real the last two days, because you were being so quiet. I was like, "Oh, this is big." And the more quiet she is, the bigger the book. So, this was the setup that Marcus did for me. He was in on it. So, he wasn't just like, "Yay, congrats to Arasha," and put this all together. It was a very awkward time this morning. Marcus. Oh, yeah. It was. It was a tense morning. Here's the video of Angela coming in and seeing the donuts. Oh, no. She bumped [Laughter]. Oh my God, you're crazy. I love it. Let's do that again. I love you for the support. Like, that is the sound of somebody who's so happy for me. So I felt so, so, so bad. I will do it. Yeah, because I saw that and I went, "Okay, now we're talking about it," because now people are printing out. So now we're not worried about an NDA. And then we have myself coming in. I was in the doorway. My soul died. Yeah. So, I hated that whole moment. Essentially, I planned to walk in on this, be so confused, and just kind of take a second to be like, "What is this?" and then ask Marcus to talk to me on the side of the kitchen where I would essentially be chewing him out and be very upset at him, which we also have footage of. So they are all watching this kind of happen in the corner again. Marcus is in on it, so I would never yell at him without him knowing. I got upset with Marcus, and then I needed to tear down the signs that we had put up. This is my favorite part of this Mel Street right here. Angela goes, "She's tearing up the signs and she's throwing them away." And I go, "Yeah, she's very upset and they shouldn't have done them." And all the while I have to act like I'm so upset, whereas I got what I wanted, which was free donuts. I was like, "Yay, donuts." Oh no, she's going to be. I went up to Ian and I went, "This is not good." Yeah. And I was like, I didn't know we were going to talk about it. So the perfect cherry on top was my dear friends Amanda and Angela this morning saw me in distress. Oh boy. And they approached me. Amanda, Amanda's just in front of me there like kneeling in support of me. And Angela's in front, and they're both just like, they should not have done that. We are so sorry. And you were like, I love Marcus. I didn't want to yell at him. I was like, it's okay. Marcus will understand. Arasha, you're an incredible actor. Y

Speaker A
but who would have told Marcus? And I was like Aaron thank you. I am soing duped. I literally I pictured the whole movie in my head and and I fought for you today. Why did I fight like a knight
Speaker A

Me too. She is so young and it could happen for anyone at any time. Smash this to Marvel easy. Come on, Angela. Let's get this. Angel and I were both like, "Okay, we need new managers.
Speaker A
We can get on Marvel, too." Wait. Whoa. Courtney asked if I could fill in for you for a shoot this morning. I don't think Courtney doesn't know. Courtney Courtney doesn't know. Courtney has no idea. So, she was like, she's trying to

get Angela to fill in for Arasha for an upcoming video. And I was sitting there like, "Oh, this is like messing up future videos." Oh, no. I was like, tell. Oh, cuz cuz Arasha is not going to be there, huh?

Speaker A
You don't need We don't need to fill in for all the videos. She's got You don't Please don't replace me. And I still need I still need work. I'm literally gagged.
Speaker A
Holy. Yeah, that was me 10 minutes ago. My scam is going to suck. Spread the spread the news, too, so other other people are also aware now.
Speaker A
All right, that's it. Hello, Ian. Amanda, I believe the best way to get revenge is to do what was done to you better and harder.
Speaker A
I lied better. Oh what? I'm nervous. Um, this is me, my friend Patrick, and Arasha's best friend, Rowan.
Speaker A
Um, this was a group text that we started a month and a half ago. Oh my god. Everyone was on the prowl. We had to really go slow. Um, okay.
Speaker A
This is not what I was expecting. About a month ago, I told Arasha that I was becoming friends with one of her best friends. And I during sleepover rehearsals told Arasha that we following each other on Instagram. Here's a video
Speaker A
of that. [Music] Sorry, one sec, Tommy. That's fine. Yeah. Were you happy or It was nothing to see there besides just some fun DMs. Like we were like sending each other like smiley faces off of our stories and I didn't
Speaker A
want to throw Arasha off, so we started really slow. Um and then this is when um Rowan had texted Arasha and Arasha said, "Shut up. OMG, y'all exchanged numbers?" cuz then we told Arasha we had gotten off of Instagram and on to texting. So
Speaker A
we were just showing her, "Oh, we're friends." Um, next slide. Oh my god. This is when I began decoy pranks because I knew Arasha was on the lookout. So that's when I created a fake fan account for her to know somehow that
Speaker A
that was me and that would be my prank. So, I created another prank that was an Instagram account that for some reason keeps getting followers, and it's called Arasha should be a legit Marvel star, literally. And for the last like couple weeks, I've
Speaker A
just been making awful reels. Please put Arasha in a Marvel movie. Please. You are creating those.
Speaker A
That's That's my voice. I did that. Yes. So, this not the prank. Um, if anything, I I didn't want to I wanted to give her little hints. That is my voice.
Speaker A
I made sure the account followed everyone but me, so she thought I slipped up or something and she would catch me in the act. Meanwhile, my other prank is going very slow, very well, and just off on the side. Then, I wanted to
Speaker A
do what was done to me, but better. She made me do a self tape for her, so I made her do a self tape for me. No, no, no. I made Arasha two nights ago do a voiceover audition with me, which I
Speaker A
don't know why you would need a reader for this. Um, and it was a fake cartoon.
Speaker A
It was a fake cartoon. So, I tried to get as crazy as I could and I did the craziest voice ever and just watched her respond to it. This is some of the self tape. Let's do another one. I'll make
Speaker A
another bold choice. Yeah, I love it. These these are really good bold choices, too. It's It's super silly.
Speaker A
Thank you. The pictures certainly help. I know, right? It's like big woman. Yeah. Yeah. That's good that they provided you with that. I know. That's really nice. Okay. Uh, no, no, no, no, no, not that one. Ours has a whole lot
Speaker A
of tiny legs. No, in that case, you must be the lovely widow's musc. I don't think so. Our bug has two very cute antennas. Well, I didn't say so.
Speaker A
So the whole time I was like, I just need to make sure she knows that that's a prank, right? So then she'll never smell me and Rowan's prank. Right after that self tape, Arasha called me immediately. She called me and goes,
Speaker A
that was a prank. I got your ass. And I was like, he hung up and then recalled her back and filmed it. I didn't mean to hang up on you. Oh, you've come to apologize. I'm not coming to apologize.
Speaker A
I just didn't mean to hang up on you because I'm not lying. I believe you. This is This is Well, what's yours? Cuz you're getting revenge, too. I'm not in that video.
Speaker A
Yes, you are. That's a real self tape. If it's real, I wish you the best of luck. But if it's fake, I'm ahead of your game.
Speaker A
I'm ahead of your game. I'm in your You're in my head and I'm in your head.
Speaker A
I love you. Bye. Goodbye. Say I love you back. Say I love you. So then I started the other prank, the real prank, and um Rowan and I started planting seeds that we were actually hanging out. I got
Speaker A
random pictures of a brunch place. Rowan and I still haven't really met in person. Um and Rowan and I both posted pictures. So we both posted these on our main stories. Um Anarasha slid into both of our DMs. Shut up. You and Angela the
Speaker A
Insta story. I need deets. Um I try to be a good friend and [ __ ] set somebody up. Yeah, I tried to be a good [ __ ] friend and get you on Marvel and all of it's fake. You didn't help me at
Speaker A
all. I helped you. I put you on tape. What do you mean I didn't help you? I talked to Marcus and we hit finish your presentation.
Speaker A
That's why this is when I the prank started. My goal was to create drama between Rowan and I for Rasha to get in the middle of that she had to clean up.
Speaker A
And that's when I started being a little crazy to Rowan. Well, Rowan knew this, but I called Rowan five times at 9:00 a.m. Ha.
Speaker A
And we had Rowan send this to Arasha and was like, "Okay, this happened this morning." And I'm like, "Question mark question mark. Haha. I was asleep, but I'm afraid to ask." Well, I texted her, but she didn't answer. Arasha said,
Speaker A
"What if I missed calls? How do you feel about that?" I'd love it if she was like, "Sounds like Angela." This is when I went in for the kill.
Speaker A
This is a fake conversation I had with Rowan. And these are the screenshots that Rowan sent to Arasha. Okay, so this is me. I said, "I just did a self tape with Arasha." She goes, "Ugh, that angel. How'd it go? Good. She said, "You
Speaker A
guys are super close." And then Rome goes, "Oh, yeah. It's like one of my fave people ever. We always laugh so hard together. She's been a loyal friend. Wonderful." I was like, "I want to be like that." I mean, listen, I feel like our
Speaker A
friendship is really blossoming. Who knows? And I go, "Like Sex in the City. I don't know." And then, "Oh, yeah.
Speaker A
Squad. Let's be besties right now." No, you don't mean it. Like, I mean it. I mean, how do you mean it exactly?
Speaker A
Other people's friendships sometimes make me jealous. Like I want that me. I go, I get that. Well, I think you're awesome. Let's see what happens.
Speaker A
No, no, no, no. You're being nice about it again. Stop that. So then Rowan sent these screenshots to Arasha being like, I don't know what you're going to show my messages, aren't you? Really sweet. You should Don't even
Speaker A
get me started. Next one. Rowan sent these to Arasha. Either I'm not getting her sense of humor or this is weird. I cannot tell.
Speaker A
And then Rasha, the sweet, sweet angel that Thanks for saying that, Boo. You can always come to blah blah blah. So, if I'm being honest, these texts are like kind of wait. This is Arasha responding to Rowan. Yeah. So, if I'm being honest
Speaker A
about these texts, it's like kind of ick. Like, it's a bit cringy, but I think it might be her tone for sure. In person, as you know, she's super nuts and super sweet, and she's a super specific type of crazy, which is loving
Speaker A
and endearing. However, it's up to you if you like that vibe or it's an it.
Speaker A
Oh my god. I know, man. This is intense. I tried asking her about you guys and she kept it pretty casual and she said, "We're just friends. We moved on." Blah blah. So, Orasha being the sweetest angel ever, she called you crazy. No,
Speaker A
but that's No, I find that sweet. Wait, it might be a five. I think you're all it. Oh my god, I was so worried. I was like, Angela's being such a freak to Rowan, but I thought I was so worried
Speaker A
that you were going to get fired from Marvel cuz we broke the NDA. Next slide. This is so good. I was so worried about you.
Speaker A
You show I barely touched your life. You touched my life in so many other ways.
Speaker A
You I thought you and Rowan were real friends. This was a month and a half ago. Now we are friends and I love Rowan and we're all going to hang out. No, I hate both of you. No, don't do this.
Speaker A
[Applause] I You're such a good If anything, this made you look amazing. I don't need that. I love you.
Speaker A
[Music] I love you, guys. That was [ __ ] disgusting. So gross. I'm so pissed. I guess you guys can hug. I'm so pissed.
Speaker A
You don't respect the hustle. I do. Booked it. I lied again. Actually, technically, I've been lying to you all for 4 months.
Speaker A
Wait, I'm not getting married. What? What the? We talked about your wedding venue for like 20 minutes this morning.
Speaker A
Wait, you're literallying kidding. Listen, is wrong with you, guys? No. No. I'm really sorry. You had pictures. No.
Speaker A
I I don't believe this. I don't believe this. You told me not to book anything, [ __ ] Okay. May I say I can't believe it.
Speaker A
So, let me first address this photo right here. Um, for obviously the entirety of the lie, we had to draw from something that was believable. So, this is my very real, very lovely boyfriend, Fabian, who we employed. out at an event
Speaker A
when I told him congratulations. He goes "Sh." So, oh my god. So, let's maybe take it all the way back to the beginning. Okay.
Speaker A
Uh, in January, Aaron and Emily contacted me and they were like, "Hey, we're doing an episode on lying again." And it would be so awesome if we could do a lie that spanned like half of the year. So, I started thinking and I was
Speaker A
like, what was the most like recent viral moment in the Smosh space? And that was of course Shane and Courtney's wedding, right? Everyone was like, "Is it real? Is it not?" And I was like, "Well, that's that's my job. That's my
Speaker A
bit." So I quite literally topped the lie by suggesting that I should suggest that I'm getting married. Remember we checked in? Do you remember like months ago? Yeah. We said, "How's your weekend going?" And we talked to Oh my god. What
Speaker A
I said? I said I don't know if he's going to propose. Arasha, you better be careful. Don't get your hopes up. You just nevering know. There was a specific day that I told like the whole cast. Um, everybody knew that, you know, I was
Speaker A
traveling one weekend to Canada with Fabian. So, so I sort of planted it then and was like, "You guys, I think I think he might propose this weekend. Like, I'm not sure." While I don't have footage of telling all of you, I actually have a
Speaker A
recording of my telling Tommy. He's gonna pronounce. What makes you think that? He's not the best at keeping secrets. Is he acting? Yes, I remember. He's acting a little weird. And like I think I might have told you like last year he was like
Speaker A
he was sort of hinting at it with just like I mean like obviously people were getting married here and like a lot of like stuff was happening and like discussions. He's been specifically being like, "We should get dinner in
Speaker A
Canada." So much information. I should have obviously told Tommy, told everybody. They were incredibly supportive. What do you mean told us? We we conversed about it for hours. We're talking phases. Like this is like soing layered. This is crazy. And then of
Speaker A
course phase two, the proposal. So we went off, we did our trip, nothing ended up happening there. Um, of course, but then when we landed back uh here, we actually went straight to Aaron's apartment where we set this
Speaker A
up. Um, so so this is like uh this is like in an alleyway. You guys are sick in the where do you live? Aaron, Erin, you need friends and and and another job. This is too much. You know, we we made it look
Speaker A
really nice and pretty. We we like hung up lights and and we got this dinner.
Speaker A
And this picture, remember she sent it to us. I was like, it's a good picture.
Speaker A
It's kind of foggy, which means they're having a good time. Well, so I'm glad you brought brought up the the blurriness of the photo. And the reason for that was actually because this ring from Amazon hadn't arrived yet. So, we were using a different ring
Speaker A
and I didn't want you guys to know. So that's why we just kind of had it shaky so that you wouldn't know that it was two different rings. And can I have this ring for one second? Of course. This is
Speaker A
the cheapest mothering piece of [ __ ] I've ever held in my hand. These were among the very great photos that we took. If you look really closely, we were crossing our fingers actually just in broad right in front of the photo
Speaker A
just right there. You don't look for aes you love. When you're celebrating someone, you don't go where in the [ __ ] ring. You don't look for age when you trust somebody. The announcement. These are the screenshots of our text. So, oh my god, these are
Speaker A
two girls. I didn't remember. Horrible [ __ ] And like my great friends that you are, you guys were so happy for me. Oh my god. I have to find this out looking like this. So, here was the tricky part.
Speaker A
I had to make opportunities for footage of me talking about the marriage. So, this is me in a smash theater. Right before we get into it, uh, announcing it to the cast and crew. Before we get started, um, I just wanted to make a little
Speaker A
announcement. This is my first video as an engaged woman. Tik Tok comments and Tik Tok. Tik Tok.
Speaker A
Tik Tok. No. Yay. Roger. They say you're funnier when you're taken. Oh. Oh my god. You guys could have cut the part where I absolutely bombed in front of the whole There's one more person that I had to tell on the cast as well,
Speaker A
and that was Shane. So, I actually also did it before we were rolling on a games video. Um, so if we go to the next slide, this is me informing Shane on camera. Cool. Sick. Cool. I'm getting married.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. What? Not supposed to. She's doing it at a really prank time. Don't do what? Sorry. I just remember that I didn't tell you and I was like, "Holy [ __ ] congrats." I'm like, "Wait, we're roll. Are you Is
Speaker A
this Are you pranking me?" No, it's for real. Whoa. Congrats. Oh my gosh. He's never going to forgive you.
Speaker A
He did it. That was like a crazy time to do it right after the slate. Right. The games team was also in on it. So Spencer also is another person who was in on it.
Speaker A
the entire crew and company uh they are in on it. We needed to add some like a little bit of trouble, a little like turmoil to the whole thing. Like it couldn't just be like I'm married. Just kidding. I'm not. So, we had to add this
Speaker A
uh element of it that there was some uh conflict. I'm going to sleep in this shirt. Oh, me. What happened? Oh, I literally told myself that there was one thing that I had to do, and that was not
Speaker A
wear my ring in my video. You got to take it from the top. Yeah. Can we just film again? Can we just do that again?
Speaker A
Well, when does this come out? We can. It's fine. No, it's it's totally fine.
Speaker A
Not a big deal. You'll figure something. Yeah, I'm I'm wearing other rings. Like, they're probably exactly what I did for a long time. It's fine. They're going to be fine. It's going to be fine. You guys are great, supportive friends. You had
Speaker A
my back there. You were like, you don't have to answer to anybody. Okay. And listen, it was incredibly difficult.
Speaker A
Okay, this is crazy. It was incredibly hard. Multiple times I reached out to Aaron throughout this and was like, I am too guilty. I cannot do this because you guys were so happy for me. Yeah, you guys were so incredibly supportive.
Speaker A
Phase three. Okay. Okay. I'm excited for this. Oh, no. I'm not excited for this. So, we wanted to make it a little weird. What if we just made everything involving my engagement a little strange and see how the rest of the cast responds to that?
Speaker A
So, we started first with wedding dresses. Okay. I thought Okay, this is I'm glad we're breaking this down cuz you asked if it was too much lace and I was like maybe a little bit. When you sent this one, I was like, I think she's
Speaker A
younger than me and I can't connect with the sty. It's literally all this is the best part. As you can see, I sent very questionable wedding dresses. If if this was your wedding dress, that's okay. This is just not my
Speaker A
style. Essentially, we started to see if they would tell me the truth. Oh, absolutely not. I'm sorry. It's your wedding. It's your wedding. Here are the screenshots from the girls chat. I sent a couple of these dresses. Angela coming
Speaker A
in right in with the support, telling me the third will literally kill people around you on site if they set eyes on you. Maybe you were trying to tell me something there. Courtney loves the textures. You know, everyone is really,
Speaker A
really supportive. Oh my god, I went way too hard. I'm like, love, love, love.
Speaker A
Three is the best then. Okay. Okay. Okay. This is when this is when you let me do this. Your skirt is and he's looking up. Arasha, when you said these, I was soing. What is this?
Speaker A
And why is baby pregnant? What is this? Listen. What's this? Listen. What's that? I thought you were rushing the process just a little bit. I was like, these are good people with a terrible photographer.
Speaker A
This is so brilliant and so smallly like in a just a little weird. just a little weird. I like you checking that the Chipotle settled in really well. No joke. I was like, I feel like all of the
Speaker A
photo shoots she does for her shows and stuff are gorgeous. And I was like, she dropped the ball and I was like, I don't know if I want to like say like you should do it again. It like I it felt
Speaker A
wrong. I I also felt like sometimes the partner's like, "Oh, I know this guy and he's going to take our photos and it's we got a deal." And then you get him and you're like, "Oh, oh, but they're too
Speaker A
late." And I'm so glad that you guys brought our photographer. Next slide. because it was in fact Brennan. Um, let's let's let's let's check this out.
Speaker A
So, we took these photos in a random park. You guys, are you getting into this?
Speaker A
Here are all the wonderful reactions from the photos. Um, I love that all you could say is just that I looked really happy.
Speaker A
Yeah, I I I looked through all of them and my favorite was it was just that one. Pure joy. Courtney goes, "Love the posing." We just get OMG from Angela. It's great.
Speaker A
Amazing. These were weird, but they weren't weird enough, right? We had to push the envelope just that much further. And that's when you all received our save the dates, which is 420. It is on my fridge and I discussed it. It's awful. It's
Speaker A
terrible. I mean, the pink and the orange. First of all, who would choose this awful freaking photo? And then you have And then you have this western font up here and this other font. And yes, please. 420 of next year, which is a
Speaker A
Monday. It's a Monday. You said that you got a deal at the venue. Yeah. I said, 420? That's weird. And you're like, yeah, hey, it was a good deal at the venue. And I went, I believe, my friend.
Speaker A
I can't believe this happened to us again. And I hope you all got the chance to peruse the lovely website that we made. Well, you know what happened this morning? If you did click on the link uh and and go to this website, you would
Speaker A
see everything that we constructed. Pop the bubbly. I'm getting a hubby. And this Yeah. Doesn't even rhyme. Yeah.
Speaker A
We have a huge huge pink and lime green. Like this photo that looks like I'm announcing my pregnancy. Like we are really not sure what's happening here.
Speaker A
Our ship name, if you put it together, is Arabian. So we have # Arabian Nights 2026.
Speaker A
Yeah, I saw that. I thought it was a little like a this is the craziesting [ __ ] Bold colors. There is a specific line that says you know what they say cest unf which is French fore is a
Speaker A
prank. Here was our registry which only had four items. I did see this and I thought damn girl. A $4,000 couch. Some people do it. Yep. $2,000 espresso machine, a $650 dog bike, trailer, and stroller.
Speaker A
You don't like dogs. Or you can contribute to the open bar at the wedding, which you know what? Not a bad idea. In the end, you guys, next slide.
Speaker A
There can really only be one trickster, and that is me. You copied the pose. Are you mad? Are you guys sad? I thought it was a fun idea. I cannot believe you did this for that long. Listen, listen.
Speaker A
Okay, all jokes aside, you guys, I will share one vow, okay? And my vow is that I will never lie again. I don't believe it. I'm retired. I'm done. I don't believe it. Do you believe it? I don't
Speaker A
believe
