0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Smosh reads Reddit stories. I'm Shane and today the theme is liars.
0:07.3	All things lying. And I am joined by someone who can only tell lies and someone who can only tell
0:14.5	the truth. But I don't know which one's which. Trevor and Arasha. Yeah, I don't know why I was
0:20.3	in Cassonis. Yeah. I've never lied in this. This is ridiculous. Oh, maybe it's because we've never lied. So we can offer some unique perspectives, you know, as strictly truth tellers. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah. You've got honesty over here. Mm-hmm. All right. All right. All right. Do you think, okay, we joke a lot about lying here at Smosh,
0:41.3	but how good do you think you are at spotting liars or catching people lying?
0:48.0	I'm really bad.
0:49.0	I'm like a very trusting person.
0:51.3	I think, like, maybe to a fault, I just really lean on the side of trusting
0:55.9	someone unless they give me a reason not to trust them. Yeah. And someone here at Smosh has
1:01.6	certainly given me reasons not to trust them. Totally, totally. Yeah, Amanda. Yeah, definitely. I don't

Right, because you thought Amanda was lying about being pregnant. Yeah, I mean, I'll believe it when I see it. Yeah. She's not, I just saw her a few days ago.
1:27.9	She's not pregnant.
1:28.8	Right, like where did it go?

1:32.8	Right. No idea. I don't know how it works. Exactly. You know. All right. Well, we're going to read some stories about liars. and we'll gauge who is the best liar by the end.
1:42.5	First story comes from Am I the Asshole?
1:45.7	Posted about August of
1:47.1	2023. Am I the asshole for lying to my girlfriend's parents about being on a diet so I won't have
1:53.9	to eat their cooking? Right off the bat, I'm going to say no. Food lies are tricky. Yeah. Yeah. From the start, it seems harmless, but I feel like with these, there's always, like, there's more context. There's more. More has to happen. And food lies are tough. I feel like they build. Because we had that guy who lied about having a peanut allergy. Yes. And then everyone started accommodating him. Yeah. And it got worse and worse. Totally. And he really loved peanut allergy. Yes. And then everyone started accommodating him and it got worse and worse.
