Hi, welcome to the Smoshcast. I'm Shane Topp. And I'm Amanda Lee Hincanto. And today we are talking all about villainry. Every kind of villain, everyday villains. How to mess with people. You know, the good stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Yeah, just get right under their skin. And to help us, we have a special guest, Arasha Lalani. The most innocent person at Smosh. See, I devised this theme because I feel like by this point, Arasha, you've kind of I feel like you've positioned yourself as
Starting point is 00:01:40 the villain at Smosh in a lot of ways. Yes, your character type is the villain. Thank you. Yeah. Is it true? I think so, I think so. You know, people were quick to kind of see the ways that I was essentially trolling a lot of people on the channel, and they, like me, enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:02:01 And they found great pleasure in it, so I think it became a game that I was more than happy to keep playing. Spoken like a true villain. Yeah, really, really committed. Obviously, you've done your stunts on our videos. Where you did convince everyone here
Starting point is 00:02:22 that you booked a Marvel movie for a week. And that's become your magnum opus so far here at Smosh. I would say so. You're going to top it at some point. You're going to do something bigger. I know that's going to happen. I don't know if I'm going to enjoy it. Like, I think it's going to be a bummer for everyone here.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Probably. But it'll be funny. Well, you know, actually, that's a lot of the reception I've been getting from the Revenge episode, actually. A lot of people have said that that has actually topped uh the lies because what what greater harm can you cause than unleashing people's mothers on themselves my own mother calling me on the phone amanda that voice like triggered my teenage it brought you to tears it did i would say you were actually the champion of Let's Do This. I don't think anyone did Let's Do This better than you did.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Wow. Out of that entire series. Thank you. I think we put it to bed, and you won it. I will wholeheartedly agree with that, because I look back on my episodes, and it was me learning what Ligma balls mean. Yeah. Right. The easiest person to troll here. Using a fart machine. on my episodes and it was me learning what Ligma balls mean yeah and
Starting point is 00:03:25 the easiest person to troll here using a fart machine and getting Peter to be my doppelganger like I did
Starting point is 00:03:33 I did fake feet like I did the dumbest dumbest things which is art in itself and I respect it oh he's such a villain
Starting point is 00:03:41 you you got into this pretty quickly and I have to I have to ask like have you always messed with people in this way? Because you do it constantly. I want to point out, it's not just these stunts. But I'll be talking to you.
Starting point is 00:03:54 And I'll just be like, oh, yeah, do you like that movie? And you'll be like, I don't know, maybe. I'll be like, what? You'll be like, what do you think? And I'm like, this is weird, OK? Why can't you just be honest here? Why can't you just be a person? I'll figure like what? You're like what do you think? And I'm like this is weird okay? Why can't you just be honest here? And you're like you'll figure it out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I think you might not like this answer but I'm bored. Sometimes it's just more fun to change up the storyline a little bit and play pretend. I mean we're all actors here. Like, I feel like it's just fun to almost enter this different environment and just pretend, just pick what you actually want the true answer to be. And I find it so fascinating
Starting point is 00:04:42 that you are living a different reality than the people around you because they are thinking something is going on. But you're like, no, everyone died because she was bored. When did you start doing this? When did you start? Would you say that the stuff you've done on Smosh is your biggest pranks in life? Or have you have you messed with or trolled someone in a bigger way before? Have you topped Smosh pranks?
Starting point is 00:05:10 I mean, Smosh has definitely given me a platform to prank. As a kid, I was actually a pretty bad kid. Yeah? Weird. Yeah. I was often called to like principal's offices and stuff, not because I was like causing harm on anybody's account, but it was because I would just be disruptive
Starting point is 00:05:35 or distracting in class. And so people would just be like, shut up and go away. Disruptive how? Yeah, disruptive how? Just being like, I don't know. People are like, give me the math test answers. I don't know. More or less, I mean definitely less smart
Starting point is 00:05:52 or less clever, I would say, than the pranks here. Mostly as a kid, it was like, it was like the teacher would say something and I just had to toss my joke in after. I just had to be like, oh, punchline. You're a mom? Yeah. Oh, that makes so much sense.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Balls? Yep. I got it. Would you get laughs? Oh, yeah. The class loved me. So it worked. Class clown.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Class clown. Oh, my God. But you probably drove teachers insane. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Now, why did you feel the need to always get your joke in there? I I don't know. I guess there was always a calling for me to perform at a young age. It was always let me let me test out my talent. Let me see if these skills are real.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Again, like the the kid word, I think, for what I've been doing is to call it a troll. Like, just trolling people and being dumb because I think it's funny, even if other people don't really find it funny. And again, like, I want to say, like, I was tame through high school. And, like, I definitely was, like. You became a good person for a little bit. Yeah, I was good for a little bit. And then it got boring. So you started fucking with people again.
Starting point is 00:07:08 And then I was like, I gotta switch things back up. I gotta go back to my old ways. So you were more like a little fun troll when you were a kid and now you're like a full on villain in real life or is it just when you're in group settings? Are you a villain to your mom?
Starting point is 00:07:25 Oh yeah. Well, as many people also learned at small,, are you a villain to your mom? Oh, yeah. Well, as many people also learned at small, she is also a villain. She is very much a troll as well. Your mom is? Oh, yeah. Yeah. We were- Sweet woman that I met.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Oh, my gosh. No. I realized it, too, when we were just traveling in Canada. We had had people over, we had like catered some food and these people had come over and my mom was like, have some food, I cooked everybody. And everyone was like, no she didn't, she's a big liar, don't trust her,
Starting point is 00:07:54 she does this. And I was like, I'm my mother. I am my mother. Wait, she said she cooked but she didn't? Oh no, we had catered a bunch of food and she was like, I cooked everybody, have some food, like enjoy my delicious food. How serious did she say that? Oh, no, we had catered a bunch of food. And she was like, I cooked, everybody. Have some food. Like, enjoy my delicious food. How serious did she say that?
Starting point is 00:08:08 Like, what could you tell? Was she like, was it clearly a joke? Or was she like, no, guys, I actually made this food. She probably didn't commit as much as I would maybe. You commit. Yeah, I commit. And you do not stop. Even when people are like, I know you're joking.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Please, just say you're joking. Shane has clearly been through some trauma right now. We were filming something, and we were all sitting there, and you were just committed to a bit, and everyone was like, wait, I can't tell if she's serious or not. And I got to the point where I was just like, she's just trolling you. Just ignore it.
Starting point is 00:08:41 It was about the year I was born. Yeah, you refused to answer. It was about literally nothing important. It was nothing important but everyone was like what year were you born? And I was just giving looks around the room.
Starting point is 00:08:50 You were just like you just figured it out. 1976. I was like come on just say it. But it's so funny. See? It's because people
Starting point is 00:08:59 get involved. Yeah, yeah. I mean commitment I think is again like it parallels with acting and it parallels with these pranks and these lies like it's it's just about fully committing to the reality that you are putting yourself in and obviously there's a line because people don't like to be manipulated you know the only it's harmful. You always keep it contained to yourself and you're just being a little devious.
Starting point is 00:09:26 No one ever feels threatened or in danger, but they also know that they're extremely confused. Absolutely. And that is always, and that's where my nice person era blends with my devious era, is that I obviously don't want to cause anybody actual harm um and the best way that i can talk about it is again with the
Starting point is 00:09:51 revenge episode like had either of them not had great relationships with their mothers like i absolutely would not have done this like there's there is a lot of uh insight that i would say i get first and then i'm like, okay, great. And, and the, the fun there was all of us like at the beginning of that day being like, I'm in your head. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:12 We were, we were so paranoid. Angela was so paranoid. She thought everything was fake. She thought that he, she thought like the announcement, she thought everything, the Smosh announcement,
Starting point is 00:10:24 she thought everything was fake and a lie. Which I was honored. I wish that that was me. I wish that I had done something even of that standard. I was like, you're giving me a lot of power. We were like, is this all fake? So you're kind of like Maleficent as a villain. The Angelina Jolie Maleficent, right?
Starting point is 00:10:40 Thank you. She helps out the little girl. But we all realized she got fucked over by that guy because he stole one of her wings. So maybe. Were you ever fucked over? I've definitely been wronged, as we've all been wronged. What?
Starting point is 00:10:55 Were your wings stolen? I was never wronged in my entire life. We've all been wronged. And this is a great way of getting back to the universe. By wronging other people um by slowly lying but it really started because you were like bored and wanted to have fun yeah pretty much i mean the the marvel lie is definitely the biggest one that had happened on the channel but before that you know we all played uh that card game and that i feel like was such a natural way of showing you all that I like to lie.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Secret Hitler? No, no, Let's Get Talking. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh. That's right. Yeah. It just did a lot of videos. You'll just tell a big lie.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah. It was back then, that was a lie. Do you ever feel bad? No. No. Again, no harm caused. Lying is just super fun. It's super fun. Obviously, again, no harm caused. Lying is just super fun. It's super fun.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Obviously, again, under the right circumstances, like after the video, we all hugged, and I was like, I'm sorry, was that okay? You have never, I've never felt like wronged by you at all. I think it's all fun. You are doing it for fun, we know that, but it's still people, especially like Angela, on edge all the time.
Starting point is 00:12:04 She was about to pull out every strand of hair that she has. Angela is terrified constantly nowadays. She is certain she's going to get pranked every day. Every day. I would say maybe you've wronged Angela's grounded. Her feet are not on the ground. She's just like. If there were a fourth chair and Angela were here, she'd be like, I feel wronged.
Starting point is 00:12:23 I feel wronged hard. Yeah. She would definitely be very upset. She'd be mad. But again, all within the fun. Like never to actually damage anybody's lives. Just to shake it up. Are you the main villain of your family? Because you said your mom's a bit of a villain.
Starting point is 00:12:37 But like of your siblings and everything, are you number one? Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. And my family kind of knows that place that I fit in as well. Again, like when my mom came beforehand too, she was like, do I need to know anything? And I was like, well, at Smosh, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:53 my reputation is to kind of lie. And so a lot of people when they meet you are going to be like, Arash is evil, right? So don't be like, what did she do? Like, it's all in good fun. And she was like, oh, okay, yeah, I figured that it was something about that. And I was like, oh, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I figured that's what you do. That's my daughter lying to everyone. My mom would be so like, what's going on? She would not be okay with that. I could never lie to my mom, though. She always knew everything. I mean, again, you gotta remember that my mom is the original liar. She's the OG.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Okay, so your mom's lying to you saying she wouldn't be able to tell a lie, but your mom would know immediately. Is that even your mom, Raj? Yeah. That was my aunt. Oh, shit. Oh, God. That's right.
Starting point is 00:13:43 This is the big reveal. Okay, so is your mom the OG or are you the OG? What we said in the episode, actually, I feel pretty good about. She is the queen of lies and I'm the princess of lies. That's pretty sweet. That's pretty sweet. I've taken after her a lot. Again, you guys will get to know her so much better and then you will be like like as all of my friends do like they meet her
Starting point is 00:14:05 and then they're like that is your mom. That is your mom. Oh my God. For sure. They're like hi Arash's mom and she's like
Starting point is 00:14:11 I'm not Arash's mom. And you don't know where you are right now. She's like when was I born? I don't know. I don't know. You're like whoa.
Starting point is 00:14:18 That stuff stresses me out. I feel like that's a Black Mirror episode. Like that stuff stresses me out. Like I I just don't have it in me. I just feel so guilty when I lie. Like that stuff stresses me out. Like I I just don't have it in me. I just feel so guilty
Starting point is 00:14:26 when I lie. Like maybe like a white lie. Like yeah you look you look great. You look great. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I'm bad about that shit. Yeah. I if I have a situation where I need to say something that's rude or gonna hurt someone I'm gonna back down
Starting point is 00:14:42 and I'm gonna lie. I'll be like yeah for sure. You do that to me all the time Shane. Yeah you just said that she looked back down and I'm gonna lie. I'll be like, yeah, for sure. You do that to me all the time, Shane. Yeah, you just said that she looks great. That's not a lie, though.
Starting point is 00:14:50 That's not a lie. Okay. No, I... I can give you some tips. It's my pinned tweet, but it's also very true that if a magician did a card trick in front of me
Starting point is 00:14:57 and he fucked it up, I'd be like, yeah, man, that's my card. Good job. I would not be able to be like... To escape the awkwardness. I would not be able to be like, oh, sorry, man, that's not my card Good job. I would not be able to be like, I would not be able to be like,
Starting point is 00:15:07 oh, sorry, man, that's not my card. I'd be like, you got it. But you know what? Woo! That sounds like a lie. It is a lie. I'm saying I would lie. So you're on board.
Starting point is 00:15:17 To support me. If it's a situation where I'm like, fuck, this is about to be awkward, and I'm gonna make someone feel bad. But you lie in ways that make someone feel bad but you lie in ways that make people feel confused and scared
Starting point is 00:15:28 you lie for the sport and fun of it yeah yeah yeah you're having fun I'm having so much fun I'm having a great time I lie out of necessity and I feel bad about it
Starting point is 00:15:39 and I don't want to do it you see I want to stop yeah the magician thing is like dude what if you were like for me I would just be like, is everything okay? Like, you didn't do the trick. Like, I would be like, let's improve this.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Oh, wow. And then he fucking cries. And then he cries so hard. He's like, what the fuck? And then I throw it in his face. Oh, hold on, I'm getting a call. It's his wife, she divorces him. Because he just fucked up that trick.
Starting point is 00:16:03 We're done, the show is live. She's like, how'd the trick go? He's like, I failed. She's like, I'm divorcing you, fuck you. I'm getting a call. It's his wife. She divorces him because he just fucked up that trick. The show is live. She's like, how'd the trick go? He's like, I failed. She's like, I'm divorcing you. Fuck you. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Meanwhile, there's a whole audience watching all of this go down. Yeah, this is at the Magic Castle on stage. Everyone starts laughing. They're throwing tomatoes at him. Is this something I think you should leave sketched right now? It feels like it. I think you should leave sketched. I can see it.
Starting point is 00:16:23 So I also wanted to, since you're kind of the master of it, I was curious. I think something that would be fun, because I've been trying to experiment with messing with people a little bit more here at the office. On camera, off camera. And I want to devise more ways to do that. Something I was doing earlier this year that I felt pretty proud of is I slowly hid bananas in Ian's office. Fake bananas. They were styrofoam bananas, but they were the size of a regular banana. And every day I would hide another one in his office.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And I got up to about like 25 bananas in there. Because he probably didn't even know. No, he's in his office. He'd be sitting down at his desk, and I had a bunch taped to the underside of his chair. I had them taped underneath his desk. I had them taped underneath his desk. I had them taped underneath every single surface. This is great. I stuffed a bunch in the couch.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Good. I had a, you know, he has a big, you know, tall mirror in there, and I had bananas taped all along the backside of it. There were bananas everywhere. Did he know? No, he never found out until I told him. And we did a video. We posted it on Instagram of me telling him and him going through and finding all these bananas.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I love that. That had been there for weeks. He didn't even know? I mean, no, I hid them really well. That's great. That sounds like a perfect prank. I'm messing with him and he didn't even know it. But it's so harmless and you made sure to get styrofoam bananas
Starting point is 00:17:47 so that they wouldn't go bad too I could have done real bananas and really ruined his life but he also would have figured it out sooner maybe unless he opened it one day and there's just fruit flies everywhere which would have been really funny super funny but it also would have affected me too
Starting point is 00:18:04 because I work right outside of his office, and I don't want to deal with that. I don't want to hurt myself. See, that's a very sweet, sweet thing to do. I would want to bring back the fart machine. Interesting. I love the fart machine. I was thinking about taping it underneath his chair.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Yeah, didn't we talk about this in a meeting? Wait, what? Wait, didn't somebody do this? I think they actually, maybe they got arrested. It was the announcers at, like, a soccer game, like a FIFA game or something, and they put, like, moaning sounds underneath their chair while they were announcing things. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:18:43 This is a real, like, news story that came out. And I think, like, they got in trouble. Of course. I forget what it is. But, like, they would do, like, moaning sex noises as they were doing the announcement. That is so funny. Like, they were doing them. They had a machine.
Starting point is 00:18:56 They had a machine. A machine was doing it. Like, going off. They'd be like, and he shoots the goal. Oh, God. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Oh, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I'll look it up and find it. Bug there, fire. I do want to start hiding the fart machine places and taping it underneath places, and I think I'll start right now. I knew it. I knew it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I freaking knew it. I was like, this is giving. You guys are about to prank me. Amanda didn't know that I did that. I didn't know. See, I just got pranked with you. Bring it on. It's fine. God, I am the most gullible human being.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I swear to God I'm cool. I swear to God I'm cool. Okay, but do you see how much fun he is having? Like, I can't help but just be like, I'm so happy I was the target of that. This is just like the revenge episode all over again. But you have to go like this. Oh, whoa. Oh, whoa. Yikes. Sorry. Sorry. Stinky girl. Oh, wow. Yikes. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Sorry. Stinky girl. Yeah. Sorry. Just clearing it out. What did you eat? I love what an investment that machine has been. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I spent like $10 on it. That's it? It's not that expensive. It's pretty solid. It does some like big, long farts. They're all different. I don't know how well you can hear it. Greg, how well can we hear it?
Starting point is 00:20:04 Pretty decent. Pretty decent. Yeah. So don't know how well you can hear it. Greg, how well can we hear it? Pretty decent. Pretty decent, yeah. So like sometimes you'll get ones like this. Where you're like, check your underwear. That's like, that's like you've had bad food
Starting point is 00:20:15 and it was unexpected and you need to change and shower immediately. This one's not so bad. I shit myself. There's one that, the funniest one is the one that's like tiny. Quick.
Starting point is 00:20:27 It's like quick. It's like, hold on. Maybe it's this one. Not that one. Hold on. That one's heavy. We're about to get lucky. It's the same one. Okay, hold on.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Hold on. Okay, that one's like attacking. You're sitting on a fucking wood chair. There's more. There's more. It's gotta be. No. Come on. There's more. There's more. It's got to be. No. Come on.
Starting point is 00:20:46 There we go. It's just like, oh, quick one. That's the one where you cough at the same time. You go. Yeah. Except you miss the timing completely. You're like. And you're like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I don't know if we've laughed this hard on this episode. I love it. Farts are so funny. It makes me laugh every time. Farts are the funniest. They're the funniest thing. Who doesn't laugh at a fart? I need to.
Starting point is 00:21:15 I wish I had the. OK. I can take that thing to a public restroom and just have fun with it. Oh, yeah. And just be there being like, oh my god. Should we take it to VidCon? Well, I don't know if they have public restrooms.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I think those are more like... What if it's during the Q&A? Oh, we should bring this to the Q&A. Okay, who are we gonna get? Well, by the time this episode of the Smoshcast airs, VidCon's already been weeks behind. So now they'll remember it. They'll be like, oh, the time.
Starting point is 00:21:45 We just do it when Ian and Anthony are having their big moment. Like someone asks a really wonderful question. No, the fart machine should be specifically for very intense, serious moments. I should have it in a meeting, and we should wait until we're discussing something very serious. I wish we could choose which one it was, though, because that quick one could be inserted into so many. I like the surprise. Yeah, because you don't know what you're going to get.
Starting point is 00:22:11 It's just like, guys, we need to talk. So that video that came out, a lot of people are super offended by what was said in it. And we need to talk strategy. We lost his father. But, you know, our views are going down. People are unsubscribing. It's so dumb and I love it so much.
Starting point is 00:22:37 It helps define what was just said before a little bit. I love it so much. Okay, so Fart Machine is away. Fart Machine, absolute win. I'm trying to... Like, what? So something that I know I could do that I know people have done at Smosh before
Starting point is 00:22:52 is slowly moving someone's desk inch by inch. I love it. Like, you do it by like half an inch every day. And you slowly let their desk migrate. And then they'll suddenly be like, what the fuck? So funny. Like, you know. See, and what I love about little pranks like that too Slowly let their desk migrate. And then they'll suddenly be like, what the fuck? So funny.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Like, you know. See, and what I love about little pranks like that, too, is the long game. I love that it isn't revealed right away, which, of course, love the fart machine. Right away, you get the laugh. But it's not your favorite. But it's not my favorite because of the long con. If you are able to really drag something out, that's, I think, where the humor comes in. Because you are living in the lie. You are living in, again, that reality while everyone else is just kind of going along with it.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And you're like, I just cannot wait for this to be revealed. And you just wait it out. And the satisfaction is just palpable. Okay, you really are a villain. Like, I feel like I just, like, went into, like, a vortex of you and now I'm like, what's my name? Like, who am I?
Starting point is 00:23:53 Yeah, when were you born? Don't tell her. I don't know. I literally was about to be like, 1988. See, that's why, this is why, let's do this, it's a great, the triple A, because I'm just like, yeah, sure. I answer questions honestly. And then Angela just loses her mind.
Starting point is 00:24:14 And then you're just like in the background like. What they really meant by that question was this. Exactly. I've been the victim of pranks on Smosh over the years. I have not been the pranker and it's a bummer you've pranked me I did once on Let's Do This but it was not
Starting point is 00:24:32 like a super epic prank was it the breakup one? yeah where I just left and I filmed that video Let's Do This was really a hub for pranks so we gotta find ways to just we just gotta start doing it it doesn't even need to be for videos Let's Do This was really a hub for pranks. So we've got to find ways to just... I know. We've just got to start doing it.
Starting point is 00:24:48 It doesn't even need to be for videos. That's what I'm saying right now. And look, if people pull off successful pranks, they can come here and brag about it. Okay, but who can we not prank? I think there's a lot of people that you don't want to prank. But it's also like just what's, hmm. Other than myself?
Starting point is 00:25:09 Like who are the best people to prank? And I'm not saying name names. Like who are the best type of people to do pranks on? I think Noah and Keith are both people you could prank. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like they'd be like, okay. Frankly, because of, this is the problem. The way Angela has reacted To pranks Makes her now the best target
Starting point is 00:25:28 Because she freaks the fuck out But she's also so paranoid So it's really hard to prank her She now is It's going to be difficult Yes I also I want to take actually this moment to say
Starting point is 00:25:41 Originally I had a different idea For how to get revenge and the reason i didn't do it was because i knew that you guys would be too suspect of it but what was it i wanted to somehow prank you guys and say that because of the marvel lie scam i was actually reached out to by somebody from Marvel. And I started planning. I wouldn't have believed you. I started creating fake email threads.
Starting point is 00:26:12 I started creating just like all. You did this just as a prototype. You weren't even like. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is how far she goes. Yeah. Well, once I hatched the plan, I knew that I was like, okay, this is going to have to be like two months in advance. Like this is going to have to be like two months in advance. Like this is going to have to be like,
Starting point is 00:26:26 I need to tap on somebody who is going to do the job for me in terms of telling you. And then you and Angela will tell each other. Like I need it to be so well put together. But ultimately it was like. I was gone for a month. Yeah, ultimately you were gone, which is also why it made it hard to get your mom's phone number,
Starting point is 00:26:46 but I got it anyways. I know. Selena asked for emergency contacts, and my mom is not on there. Because she barely picks up her phone. Yeah. If I was dying, my mom would be like... She picked it up for Arasha.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Oh, well. Well, she... She did not. I reached out to Selena and Heidi and was like, I need Amanda's mom's phone number. Work your magic and get it for me please i love you get it get it get that number they were like mission failed like she only gave us her sister's number and i was like i can work with this so then i spoke with atlas
Starting point is 00:27:17 and i was like hey sis uh need your help i need your mom's phone number and this is the whole scam and we need your help um and she doesn't even talk number and this is the whole scam and we need your help. She doesn't even talk to me about that. Oh yeah and she was like here you go good luck let me know what else I can do. And I was like do we bring Atlas on too? Atlas is the best. Yes yes. So ultimately that prank proved to be a little more of a surprise because I knew that you guys would be like nope I don't buy it. I don't buy it for a second. And so I needed to stick to something that you guys could believe. So in a way, Angela, yes, is an ideal person to prank because of the reaction, but also because of the paranoia. You got to dodge it or you got to be extra smart about it so that they'll believe you.
Starting point is 00:27:58 She's always thinking that she's about to get pranked. I'm telling you, her soul is rocked. But maybe without, maybe now with this new pivot to the whole brand and everything, and let's do this being sunset, maybe Angela will let her guard down because there's no show where you can really get pranked right now. I mean, you can. Try not to laugh. Eat it or yeet it.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I think these are prime arenas for it. We just have not taken advantage of it. Eat it or yeet laugh. Eat it or yeet it. I think these are prime arenas for it. We just have not taken advantage of it. Eat it or yeet it. Eat it or yeet it. Oh, okay. I did ruin Angela's life when I did the eat it or yeet it where it was only good things. The just desserts.
Starting point is 00:28:34 And she lost it. And it is so funny because, like, so much energy from Angela. She's just like, what's going on? What's happening? Yeah. Oh's going on? What's happening? Oh my God, what's happening? I don't trust it. She was fed cat food. That's true.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Angela has really gotten screwed over here. Her soul has been rocked. In the span of like a year, she's dealt with more shit than most of us have dealt with in a long time here. But eat it or eat it is a really good way. Yeah, we have not taken advantage. I am so down to do more pranks.
Starting point is 00:29:11 I honestly, I want to pitch a show that centers around pranks or revenge and or rumors like gossip, all of that kind of stuff. I again, like with the reception of how the whole lying and revenge has gone, it feels like that's kind of what people want to see in a way, again, that isn't harming anybody. It'd be funny if every month, like throughout the whole month, or just throughout like a couple, yeah, every month, we know that everyone's trying to like pull some sort of stunt on each other or some sort of lie or some sort of rumor or some sort of trick.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And then you have a show that you film at the end of the month where you all get together and you finally reveal the plans that you've been working on the past month. And you show all the footage, you show what you've been doing, you show your work to show and tell of what deviousness
Starting point is 00:30:05 you've been up to and we see which one's successful what's unsuccessful i like that idea yeah i like that idea look at us we're in early brainstorming stages here yeah yeah just a prank show but just amongst us all here yeah yeah yeah not going out there and fucking with people in real life i hate that shit yeah i hate that shit when people are like at a Walmart or Target messing with people. I'm like, no, don't mess with people who are just out. It's so cringy. But I remember when I saw Bad Trip. If it's a flat or a squeal, a wobble or peel, your tread's worn down or you need a new wheel.

Starting point is 00:31:03 Discover the exciting action of Bed MGM Casino. Check out a wide variety of table games with a live dealer FedExPros.ca That movie is so hilarious. But they're actually acting out a movie in public. That's different. But for the most part, I could never do that stuff. I could never be a public prankster. I don't like it. I don't think it's different. Yes. But for the most part, I could never do that stuff. I could never be a public prankster. I don't like it. I don't think it's respectable. No, I also don't love the public scene like that.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I don't like, because again, like, yes, you guys aren't expecting my pranks, but we also are. Know each other. We know each other. We're also on camera. So we're kind of prepared for some kind of like tomfoolery for the content as opposed to
Starting point is 00:32:08 being in a public place shopping for groceries like you're not trying to be exposed it's gotta be fair game right yeah
Starting point is 00:32:17 like it's we all are aware that here stuff might be going on yeah exactly you might be you might get yeah. You might be, you might get. Yeah. I feel like
Starting point is 00:32:27 villains also deal with, I feel like villains have a confidence that can deal with like the cringe factor of being a villain. Like, that's probably why I feel like I'm not a villain because I can't stand the cringe when people are like, what are you, what? What's going on? Like,
Starting point is 00:32:43 people being pranked or people being lied to. Like I can't stand that cringe factor. Sure, sure. And again, you're going to get a lot of that when you're in public because you don't know the reaction that you're going to get. I mean, and again, like as a woman, as a woman of color, if I'm going out in public, people could get violent. People could get angry. People could get angry.
Starting point is 00:33:05 People could threaten me. Like, I definitely don't feel safe to be the villain. But even here, even here, like, you just don't know, like, how people will react. Well, it's almost the flip side of it. It's people that you know and care about. So seeing them squirm and be uncomfortable could make you feel a certain way clearly not a rasha like a true villain does not care you guys were like appallant like you guys were consoling her during the marvel week you guys were like hey it's okay like because you thought people were
Starting point is 00:33:40 leaking the news that you booked it and you were making a big deal out of it and amanda was getting pissed at people i was yeah. I went up to Erin and I was like, Erin, this is not right. This is not right. And she goes, I don't know, she like booked something
Starting point is 00:33:53 or whatever. She was like, DC, Marvel, whatever. Yeah, she was like, DC, Marvel, same thing. Who cares? And I was like, Erin, you have no regard
Starting point is 00:33:59 for humans. Okay, and that, I admit, I don't know if I remember if this was in the video or not, but that was the hardest part of the break. You almost said, did you almost break? Did you almost? Oh, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:34:12 That was the hardest part, but I was never going to ruin the break. No, I was never going to break at that point. I mean, because, again, it had been, like, a few weeks in at that point. Like, this was not going to shatter because of this. But that moment that Angela and Amanda just come to my side by wardrobe, I was just doing my makeup and just, it actually did feel real.
Starting point is 00:34:35 It felt like that was the reality because I had these two friends, these two good friends of mine who were ready to back me up and they were like, like hey it's gonna be okay and we have your back and what they did was not okay but you did not do anything wrong and I had to just lean into that and I was like crying to them I know I was like I know I just I don't know and I was channeling the emotion that I was feeling hurt like lying to you guys
Starting point is 00:35:04 I was channeling it into the urgency of needing you guys to believe it. But I was like, we are so close. We are about to film this video in 10 minutes. Oh my God. I know we can just write it out for another 10. And I was like, where are you going? You were like, I signed an NDA.
Starting point is 00:35:20 And you were like, when are you leaving? And I was like, tomorrow. And I was like, oh. Tomorrow. I was like, oh I was like oh tomorrow I was like oh my god they need me tomorrow they need me tomorrow and then I'm gonna disappear
Starting point is 00:35:30 for a while I'm going to Georgia tomorrow I know I was like oh wow it was so real it was real
Starting point is 00:35:35 like I told my husband I was like Rasha booked Marvel and super proud of her yeah it'll happen for yeah
Starting point is 00:35:41 you know and Sarah Whittle had come in as well and she participated in it as well when she had come in and we were doing the whole conference meeting she was a part of all of that too so she messages me and she was like i told i told people i was like oh my gosh i'm so happy that this is happening that's why it worked is that people really leaked the news oh yeah everyone told everyone i found out through other people like like Courtney told me, and she was like, yeah, did you hear?
Starting point is 00:36:06 She booked like a Marvel thing. And I guess I believed, I didn't have that big of a reaction to both elements of it, because I think both were believable to me. I 100% believe you could book a role in a Marvel film. I was not surprised. When she told me, I was like, oh, that's awesome. And I don't think I understood the scope of maybe that you were trying to push.
Starting point is 00:36:28 I thought you booked like, you know, I don't know, a speaking part, but I didn't think that you were like the next Ant-Man. Ant-Man. That angel was like, she's the next Ant-Man. I was like, that's Paul Rudd. What are we talking about? I fully believed like, oh yeah, you booked a part and we'll get to go and see you in this movie.
Starting point is 00:36:44 So I believed it. I was like, that's awesome. That's so cool. And then later on, Courtney came up to me and she was just like, oh, it was a lie. It was it was all a prank for Let's Do This. And I was like, I was like, oh, that makes sense. That's awesome. I was like, I was like, I believe that I've been so desensitized from being at Smosh for so long that like nothing surprises me anymore. I'm like, OK, yeah, for sure. I mean, really, what I was doing was a commentary on gossip around the office. So have you heard about what happened to me years ago? The prank that that happened to me?
Starting point is 00:37:14 I don't think so. So this video didn't even do. I don't know if it did huge numbers. So it's one that's kind of forgotten about this back in like 20. God, I don't know when this was. 2018? 2017? It was when the second Pacific Rim movie was coming out. And what if it had nothing to do with the thing?
Starting point is 00:37:37 So it was around when Pacific Rim 2 was coming out. Anyways, we go to Sahara Desert in Africa. No. So Pacific Rim 2 is coming out starring John Boyega. And it's got Charlie Day and Scott Eastwood and whatever. They're the cast. They're the main cast. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:54 And they're doing press at Universal Studios. And I get pulled to help do this prank on Ian. And so Ian has done this before. I know this. Where Ian has an earpiece in and he has people behind the scenes like feeding him lines on what to say and he has to say this to them.
Starting point is 00:38:11 So I get called kind of like the day of to be like, hey, can you come and help out? So we're gonna have, some of the other cast of this movie is gonna be in this room. You're gonna be there with them feeding lines to Ian who's gonna be interviewing John Boyega.
Starting point is 00:38:26 And I'm like, all right, cool. And so I'm kind of just hanging out. I'm like, you know, it's really very chill, like a chill day. I just show up there with them and hanging out. And we get to, and they're like, oh, yeah, we're going to put him into a kaiju suit, like a big Godzilla-looking suit.
Starting point is 00:38:43 We're going to have him have to interview them. And so we get to the tent to where it's at and I'm standing there just kind of like, all right, cool, I'm being part of this. And all of a sudden,
Starting point is 00:38:52 Ian and all of them look at me and they're like, all right, Shane, get the suit on. And I was like, oh my God. Shoot.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Oh no. And I am the one being sent in to interview John Boyega. The whole time I was being convinced like we're about to do this to ian no and then it gets flipped last second and i'm like oh my god i was mentally not in the space to be like i'm part of this i didn't think i was really like in this video featured that i would have had a panic attack and so so I just am like, alright, I put on this whole kaiju outfit, this green, stupid suit,
Starting point is 00:39:28 and I get sent in, and I've never done an interview before. I've never interviewed someone, I've never... Was your face protected? No, it was, my face was out in the open. Oh no. It just was like a hat. Oh no. And I go and I enter the room and John Boyega's there, and he's, his reactions
Starting point is 00:39:44 were incredible. It's like Angela level being like freaked out and just being like, what the fuck? He's laughing, but it's also like confusion. And I'm sitting down. They're feeding me insane shit. And I'm saying it. I'm like, I'm just having an out-of-body experience. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:00 It comes to the end of the interview. And so one, it's like, give him a hug. I give him a hug at one point. It's like all this crazy stuff. Luckily, he reacted really well. But then at the end, they're like, all right, Shane, run. Now, mind you, my mic pack was kind of like tucked into the chair
Starting point is 00:40:15 and not into just my suit. I get up to run and I get caught and I'm like, I just run. I get stuck. I get thrown back at my chair. And then I'm just like, oh, oh, oh, oh. And I'm like, he's just staring at me, freaked out. And I run out of the room.
Starting point is 00:40:33 And I was like, oh my god. I leave and I'm like, what the hell? And then we actually did, and Ian didn't know this, we flipped the prank back on him. And he then did have to do an interview with charlie day and scott eastwood wow and they were they were not as stoked they didn't like as john boyega john boyega stoked having a great time laughing charlie day and scott eastwood were a little tired i think from a long day of interviews and they were like all right we're done wow and i was like whoo i need to know
Starting point is 00:41:02 who was behind this because that is such a mastermind to plot twist, throw it on you, plot twist, back to Ian, get him to, I love it,
Starting point is 00:41:11 no notes. Yeah, yeah. It was master work. Your prank worked out better than Ian's because the worst thing is to have them hate you
Starting point is 00:41:21 and be so tired. They didn't hate him, but they just, you could just tell they were like, all right, man, we know what this is. We've had this. I'm sure they've had... How many prank interviews do you think celebrities deal with on every single press circuit?
Starting point is 00:41:35 I can't watch those interviews. See, the cringe factor. I can't handle it. It sucked. I just can't. Killeen Murphy, I watch a lot of his interviews, and he's not on the internet and he knows nothing about social media like someone's like oh have you seen this
Starting point is 00:41:49 uh disappointed meme of you and he's like what's a meme i love it what's a meme he's like i don't try to care he's like i don't yeah he's from ireland he's like okay i don't care yeah what's a meme uh i don't like watching those interview things. They're crazy. Yeah, no, we, it was funny. Why it's funny is because it's mostly on us being embarrassed and we're not making the celebrity look bad. We just look stupid.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Well, in a way though, you are catching somebody off guard. And I think sometimes people don't like that. Maybe, even though I was the one being pranked, maybe I was the villain. Maybe. You were definitely the villain. Okay, even though I was the one being pranked, maybe I was the villain. Maybe. You were definitely the villain. Okay, I guess I'm the villain. That was established.
Starting point is 00:42:30 In that fact, I mean, you ran off, your mic pack was the villain at the end. Yeah, switched it up on you real quick there. Arasha, have you ever had villains in your life? Have you been out-villained by anyone? Other than your mom. Other than your mom. Your mom doesn't count.
Starting point is 00:42:47 I mean, certainly on a deeper level, absolutely. I mean, I, of course, went through some hardships growing up and stuff, and that has only ever served
Starting point is 00:43:00 to toughen me up, get me some character. Those are like, you're talking like legit bad people. I'm talking like villains just kind of like, we were talking earlier about- Everyday villains. We were talking about everyday villains.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Like, I would say- Like trolls on the internet. Trolls on the internet. Karens are kind of like, they teeter. They can become real, legitimate villains. Yeah. But sometimes they're just kind of everyday villains. People who put the toilet paper the wrong way,
Starting point is 00:43:27 that to me is a villain. Ooh, yeah. You mean upward or downward? They put it upward. Oh, okay. Which is just horrendous. Okay. Upward that you have to search for it.
Starting point is 00:43:39 You know though, I've accidentally done it before. I don't think it's too bad. Yeah, I don't think it's too different. Because you get to just, you just kind of like, you just do a it before. I don't think it's too bad. Yeah, I don't think you do difference. Because you get to just kind of like, you just do a little tap. I don't want to flick. I don't want to flick the beam. You just flick it up, and then you just grab it. You're not flicking that. You're not flicking that.
Starting point is 00:43:54 It's the toilet paper roll that you're flicking. Let's be clear. What are we talking about here? Well, the real thing that matters to me more is if people fold or people scrunch. I do not understand the scrunch. That's a villain. Wait, what do you mean scrunch? Anyone who scrunches their toilet paper is a villain.
Starting point is 00:44:09 They scrunch it up and then use it to clean instead of folding it. Like into a weird ball. Oh, I love scrunch. You are not a scrunch. I like to scrunch and really just wipe from the back to the front. You're a scrunch? You're a scrunch? Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Yeah, sometimes I'm in a rush, y'all. Sometimes you really don't know people. That's just weird. It just doesn't seem efficient. Yeah. I feel like, no, the fold is far better. The scrunch is for chaotic villains. The fold covers your hand, basically.
Starting point is 00:44:32 There's all different types of villains. Altogether. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yes. I guess I'm a villain in the scrunch land. In the toilet community.
Starting point is 00:44:39 So who has out-villained you as an everyday villain? I can't say. No one's beaten you at your game? I can't say. I know anybody else who really does constant deception. Nasty stuff. Just stupid, mean shit. Stupid, mean shit.
Starting point is 00:44:56 No. Again, like, it's just, it's, I find that the humor that I really have, like, my comedy, I think, is so specific sometimes. And I find the funny in some things in a completely different way. Like someone might laugh at something because of this, but I'm thinking about the concept of it and I'm laughing to myself because that is what tickles me. Like that's what fun that's what's funny to me. So, I feel like that's what I do a lot of the times here where everyone's like, why would you lie there?
Starting point is 00:45:27 Like that makes no sense. And I'm like, no, but I think it's hilarious. I think it's so funny. So no one is on that because your villainry is connected to your comedy also. I believe so, yes. And again, like I had kind of started in the beginning as well, the thematic journey is also the parallel of acting, right? I love this. I pursued acting and being on camera and all of that stuff was, you know, obviously a huge
Starting point is 00:46:08 sense of diversity and representation. But, you know, I would be lying if I was saying that I was a pioneer for South Asians, South Asian women. Like, there are already some out there. And it's fantastic to see that. My goal, though, is to change the narrative a little bit. Because what I see for South Asian women right now on TV is that a lot of the times they are losers. They are like this high schooler who can't fit in. It's like this virgin girl. It's this immigrant who doesn't know what she's doing. All of these, I shouldn't say all,
Starting point is 00:46:50 but many of these South Asian women that I've watched on TV suggest that narrative. But a long time ago, I thought, how much more influencing would it be if the Indian girl was the mean girl? If she was the popular girl? If she was the one who didn't have to fight for friends or find friends or fit in? She just was already. And the story doesn't even have to be about that because then subconsciously audiences worldwide start to think South Asian women can also be mean. They can also be funny. They can be popular. Yes. So a little bit of
Starting point is 00:47:36 this reputation that I've kind of built is because I kind of do want to play a villain. And you want it to be seen. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. I absolutely love that. Thank you. Yeah. Your villainry, in a way, is a form of good.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Yes, you're, see, Maleficent. You're actually a hero. Maleficent. I mean, I didn't say it. Your villainry is actually very, very good. And you're right, I don't see many women like you as that character type. I feel like the mean popular girl is always the blonde white girl. And it's always like, okay, but women can be multiple different things.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Absolutely. The villain can also be the wonderful woman whose wing got cut off and she helped the little girl become a princess. That's what I'm saying. Maleficent. Yes. I think it could be just, I think it could be new and unique.
Starting point is 00:48:28 And again, it would shed light on South Asian women who aren't like that. Because I'm sure there's a lot of us who are funny and devious a little bit. Like there's fun in that. And so I feel grateful that I was able to bring that at least to our digital platform i love it great thank you i love being around it personally it is
Starting point is 00:48:53 very see how i just manipulated both of you oh my god is she lying i'm not even an actor oh god i can't see i can't handle that I was your postmates driver and then I convinced you South Asian? well you didn't even technically get the audition for you're not Italian you accidentally got the audition
Starting point is 00:49:12 for Smosh oh yeah which is still mind blowing to me yeah I cannot believe I didn't share that story earlier too it's so weird
Starting point is 00:49:19 you were gone but I feel like I caught you up on that yeah yeah yeah which is crazy it's just you just found your way into it. Just weaseled my way in.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Oh, my God. It makes me feel good because I feel like I've been seen, because I'm like taller, I don't know, darker looking that people are like, oh, you're a bitch. Like, you're kind of a bitch, right? Okay. Like, people are always like, you're intimidating. You're kind of a bitch and so
Starting point is 00:49:46 i'm like but actually i have a good soul it's fun to be a little bit angry you have a great soul but it's fun to like not be i could see you playing that role oh yeah yes it's very fun to play but it's nice to like i think you bring out a different side of me that is always there, like the kind of goofy, gullible, like, what's happening side that I don't often get to do around other women. And I'm so glad to hear that because just as we've been saying, there can be many dimensions to people. We're layered. We're layered. Like two, three, even four things can be true at the same time. Yeah. layered like two three even four things can be true at the same time yeah um and instead at least
Starting point is 00:50:27 in my experience what i've seen in tv is because of the shortage of how much we are seeing indian families or or really i'm sure this is across the board for many cultures in many communities because we're seeing so few we're like oh okay so that's every so that's every Indian family then. Yeah. And you're like, no, no, no, no, no. That's one. Exactly. But take a look at this one and there's this one
Starting point is 00:50:49 and there's this one and it's all nuanced. Yeah, exactly. We need to represent other, we need to show the world that we are all layered. Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:57 All of us. That every single person on the planet is a villain. Everybody's got a little bit of a villain in them. Everybody's a little bit of a villain. All of it. We've got a villain in them. A little bit of a villain. All of it.
Starting point is 00:51:05 We've got it. It's okay. We're all villains here. Everyday villains. Oh, God. Are you getting a message from... No, I was going to make a pun. What's the...
Starting point is 00:51:14 Oh, civilian is what I was thinking of. And inside of civilian is villain. Civilian is not... Civilian. A word. Yes, you just made up.
Starting point is 00:51:25 I think it is. Amanda, didn't you hear? You can't make up words. You're not Shakespeare. You can't just invent a new word right now. No, guys, literally ask anybody else in the room that is a word right now. So they all agree with me. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Is civilian a word? Did you guys see that? But it's not spelled like villain. No, it is. No. You know what I think? Oh, my God. I actually forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:51:49 I just really didn't get that. You have to let it sit for a while. He's really letting it loose today. You gotta let it go. He's been farting so much on the podcast. Oh, good. All he does is fart. That's great.
Starting point is 00:52:01 What are you eating? Oh, just... Trash. I can't eat from the trash can. He eats from the trash. Okay, actually eating? Oh, just... Trash. I can eat from the trash can. He eats from the trash. Okay, actually really funny way to fuck with people. If you empty out the trash can, you put a fresh trash bag in, and then you dump
Starting point is 00:52:13 some fresh food in there, you could just eat out of the trash can and pretend that it's trash, right? That's a fun way to prank someone. Wait, we should totally do that prank. That's a really funny one. Let's do it. Oh my god, this is so good. During lunch. And you just start eating from the trash. Wait a we should totally do that prank. That's a really funny one. Let's do it. To be like, oh my God, this is so good. During lunch. And you just start eating
Starting point is 00:52:26 from the trash. Wait a second. It's all during lunch. Everyone's gotten in line, gotten their food, and sit down. And then it's just, you look over and you're like,
Starting point is 00:52:33 you wanted to throw it out, but you're like, ah, damn. And then you go into the trash and you start eating it. You don't call attention to it, so just one person notices you. Yeah. And then they spread the rumor
Starting point is 00:52:42 that you eat trash. That's actually so true. That's the key to really mess with people is, you do it, you commit to it, even when no one's you. Yeah. And then they spread the rumor that you eat trash. That's actually so true. That's the key to really mess with people is you do it, you commit to it even when no one's watching. Yep. So that you hope that they catch you.
Starting point is 00:52:51 That, again, was huge in the Marvel lie scam. If you go around, like, there's, like, specific people that I did tiny, tiny,
Starting point is 00:53:00 tiny baby bits to in the case that it would need to come up like I think Selena was a big target of it too that morning I like went over and I was like do you know where this is
Starting point is 00:53:10 and she was like yeah like over there and then after the bit she was like Arasha this morning when you were like kind of mean to me and I was like I'm so sorry
Starting point is 00:53:18 it was just in case Amanda and Angela were watching like it's just the smallest thing you did it to me and I did not pick up on it you were like talking about your business and i was just cream cheesing a bagel like i'm not gonna involve myself yes yes and then the morning meeting like i was pissed but again not calling attention to it
Starting point is 00:53:37 that is exactly what it is yeah you have to just fly under the radar and hope that other people are watching and just continue to do that. That's a good prank. So we can trash eat. Trash eat. We can eat trash. So we know that's a prank we can do. We can just prank Selena all day long until she just falls apart because poor Selena.
Starting point is 00:53:58 We could keep coming up with multiple pranks and just get people. Yeah, we've just announced it all here. Yeah, but we're going to... Stay tuned for our launch. This is where we really test out if people listen to our podcast or not. That's the whole point of it. It's actually research to make sure the team is focused and respecting us. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:19 So if they listen to this, they can be prepared. I wonder if Angela is going to listen to this podcast on a regular basis so we can really we can really mess with her let's just come up with all angela let's do a few let's do a few and then we'll come back and then we'll revisit yeah yeah we should okay let's start pitching them here and then we can we can revisit on this podcast and let people know if we've done them successfully or not yeah Yeah. Obviously, I'm gonna, like, post this shit online if I do it. Yeah. But here's where I'll reassess. Yeah, trash eating. Trash eating is a good one.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Fart machine. I liked what you did with the bananas, and I think we can keep doing stuff like that. Yeah, slowly hiding things, places. You know, I sit right next to Damien and Spencer. I could really start messing with them. Moving their desks. You could even just, like,
Starting point is 00:55:03 switch things on their desks. Yeah, I think switch or, like like just, yeah, swap things in. Or what if I start adding little tiny things to their desk and that they may not notice and then over time or. Yeah, could like crumb up their keyboard. You know, Spencer would feel so bad. That's like vandalism. So maybe he would hate that.
Starting point is 00:55:20 You know what's a really good one? And I don't know if this is a thing anymore, but when I was a teenager, I was obsessed with prank calls. Like, obsessed. And we would do conference prank calls. So it was where we would call someone and have them call the other person. So they'd
Starting point is 00:55:35 both pick up and go, hello, hello. And we could listen in on the third line and have them talk to each other and be like, you called me. No, you called me. Oh my God, yeah. And then they either hang up or they keep talking. Is that still available or is that only on landline?
Starting point is 00:55:51 That might be tough. That's really funny. Oh, I used to do it forever. That's very funny. Prank calls are so, I feel like that's too obvious. I think people are going to figure that out. No, what about conference calls? We could do that.
Starting point is 00:56:02 What we could also do. Shane hates my idea. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. But I didn't see you write it down. How often do we have conference calls? Listen, I don't think it exists anymore. We don't have conference calls much.
Starting point is 00:56:12 I don't think conference calls exist anymore. We're getting it all out there. Yeah, just keep throwing it out there. What if we all made fan accounts for Angela, and we have a bunch, and we start having them respond to every single tweet she makes. But then they start fighting amongst each other.
Starting point is 00:56:29 They start like, or they're like, they get mean and toxic. Yeah. But in like a non-harmful way. I think we need to fuck with Angela. I think, I hate to say it, but I think Angela's not going to be our main target. Yeah. No matter what. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Ian's a good target. Ian's a good target i don't want to bring him up i don't want to fuck with anthony yet no not yet give it time but also but also like he's an easy target so you think anthony's an easy target well he's he's like everybody's gonna be all nice and welcoming and we're gonna be like bam that is true eat out of the trash. Now is the time. Welcome to Smosh. Welcome to Smosh. We missed you. Sorry, I'm so hungry, sir. Thanks for coming back, dad. Ian hasn't fed us.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Especially to those that he doesn't really know all that well. He could be like, what kind of ship are they running here? He doesn't know me all that well at all. At all. So I can definitely be the one to eat out of the trash. Yeah, you know what? Man, Smosh cut their budgets. And that might work well too
Starting point is 00:57:29 because if I do something, he can easily catch word and be like, oh, Arasha lies. Like, I'm not gonna buy that. With Amanda, he's like, oh my God, Amanda's the most genuine angel
Starting point is 00:57:38 on this planet. Why is she eating out of the trash? Yeah, that is what people say. Okay, no, you know, okay, no, here's, guys, here's the ultimate goal. Here's an ultimate one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Make a Reddit account and post a fake, like try to devise a very believable am I the asshole post. Post it on the am I the asshole thread and try to get it
Starting point is 00:57:58 to get picked up. Well, can't you pick it up? Look, I'm saying this is an opportunity to prank even me. I don't select all of them. Kiana and Kimmy and I think Courtney's doing one. Other producers will
Starting point is 00:58:11 garner all these stories. I usually am reading them for the first time on the video. If someone can make a fake one and get it posted and then we can point it out and be like, nope, this was actually fake. I wrote this. That would be great great or have it be about something that happened here like but it's i don't know i do i do like the idea that would be that would be the ultimate if
Starting point is 00:58:33 someone did that i'd have so much respect for them yeah oh my god you just set a rasha if someone if okay no for real arasha amanda anyone if they can make an Am I the Asshole post, and it makes it onto Reddit stories, and I read it, and I don't clock it as fake and being made by someone here. Then you pay us. I will give you. Donuts. I'll give you a hundred. I've had those. Money.
Starting point is 00:58:56 I'll give you a hundred dollar gift card to wherever you want. Each. But it's got to make it onto Redditdit stories and i've got to okay i've got to read it and i have to read the whole story and move on and not go oh wait okay we're gonna talk after but i pitched this so i'm i'm gonna be looking out for it now right well see i was gonna say i do like the idea of within the like that's also super funny is the three of us being like, all right, who are we going to prank? Like we're going to plan something.
Starting point is 00:59:29 But then internally prank one of us. Look, that's free reign. That's the kind of next level that I want to do. Free reign to try to prank me. Look. $100 each, right, you said? Just – no. Whoever writes it, are you writing it together?
Starting point is 00:59:42 $1,000 each. If both of you write it together, then that's $50 each. And your social security number. Yeah. And trash. And also, you get to eat out of the trash. Yeah. Guys, I'm going to do that and go, smash!
Starting point is 00:59:57 I really do. I really do. I really do. Please put Arasha in a Marvel movie. Anthony's going to be like, OK, I don't want this company back. I actually am selling it again. I will take my 50 back. Oh, my god.
Starting point is 01:00:14 OK. So we'll talk about pranks. And we'll talk, me and myself and I, we'll talk about pranking each other. All right. Just don't pull one on me. I gave you guys such a perfect setup to prank me in a way that's fair. Here's our prank. We're never going to prank you on Reddit
Starting point is 01:00:33 stories. That's actually funny. I'll spend the rest of that series looking out for it. Or do we reverse it and actually pull that prank thinking that you won't think that we'll do that prank? Or when one of you guys is on Reddit stories, and I write a fake one, and I write it out, and you guys believe it, and I'm like, ha ha, I wrote that.
Starting point is 01:00:53 And you give yourself $100? Yeah, you have to pay me $100. I have every reason to believe that every story that you read to me is going to be true under that circumstance. So you want us to be able to pull that apart. I read every story assuming they're true. Not the potato story. Not the potato story. That was me. You called that out.
Starting point is 01:01:11 Forever? Years ago? Yeah. You wrote the potato story? No. No, you didn't. No, I did. It's an Andy Samberg sketch. And give me my $100, Shane. It's an Andy Samberg sketch. I'm not stupid. Liar. You're a liar. Check the OP. OP?
Starting point is 01:01:29 Original poster. Organic pot. Check my organic pot to figure out that I was the one who did that. Okay, sure. All right, fair. All right, the prank war has begun. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Prank war has begun. Prank war has begun. And every episode, at some point, Amanda and I, even when you're not the guest, we're going to just acknowledge, have we been pranked this week? Yes. Have we successfully pranked someone? Yes. All right.
Starting point is 01:01:54 But we can't reveal that. Well, I guess we can successfully reveal the prank if it's done. If it's already done and been done. Look, it's probably going to take a little bit. Yeah. It's already done and been done. Look, it's probably gonna take a little bit. You know, it's gonna take some work. So just for everyone watching and listening, just keep in mind this is beginning. This is the start.
Starting point is 01:02:13 But it might be a little quiet for a little bit. But when it happens, it's gonna happen big. Yeah, and you're gonna wanna be around for all of the little Easter eggs. You're gonna wanna pick up on every subtle hint that is dropped. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Well, Arasha, it was great having you here. Yeah, it was great having you here, Arasha. You guys, I had so much fun. You were incredible. So you're a villain that we love, that you're doing good for the world. It seems that way. Okay, is that a villain response? I'm just glad to finally be recognized for what I'm doing.
Starting point is 01:02:50 Because it's more than what's on the surface. Now I'm scared again. You should always be scared. Oh, God. Just a little bit. Okay. Well, before we go, one last question. Who is the best Jonas brother? Okay. Well, before we go, one last question. Who is the best Jonas brother?
Starting point is 01:03:08 Okay. Well. It's a limited time here, you guys. I've been liking Joe lately. That is incorrect. Oh, my God. Incorrect. Big time.
