"True Confessions."

My opponents tonight are co-hosting

-Came out hot. -What up?
-Wow! Great to see you. Nice to see you.
That's -- Come on! -How are you?
-Looking fantastic.
-We came in hot. -You really came in hot.
Now, guys, here's how this works.
In front of us each
are two envelopes containing confessions.
One is true. The other is a lie.
Once you read your confession,
the other two players get to interrogate you.
Then they have to come to a unanimous decision --
is it the truth or is it a lie?
Miley, you will go first.
Audience, which envelope should she open?
1 or 2?

-Always. -Always 1?
-Number 1. Let's go. -Let's start taking notes.

It's still happening somewhere in another universe.
It's still happening. -I think that's true.
-And did you come out?
Did you say like,
"Hey, everybody, I'm not Gwen Stefani"?
-Well, I was very excited to debut what I thought was
a new and original look with my red lipstick and blonde hair.
And it was kind of disappointing,
'cause I love Flavor Flav.
-And you were also dating
Blake Shelton at the time.
-Yes. -So that's very confusing.
-Yeah, it was very confusing.
-I think this is funny and I think it's a true story.

You know, I was with my dad,
and he said like, "Who is Gwen Stefani?"
And that made me feel better. -Okay, good, good. Yeah.
-But my dad lives on another planet
and hasn't left the farm since 1992, but...
-That's not bad. I love that. Okay, here we go.
It's my turn.
Which envelope should I open, guys?

But you got caught by the cops
the first time you ever smoked a joint?

-Alright, so, did you know you were going to smoke pot?
-We made a plan.
I skipped math class, because I was like,
"I'm never going to figure it out, ever.
Why...
You know, might as well get into this thing for the next --
I guess rest of my life."
And I went with this guy I met, Mike.
And we went out to the train station.
We rolled up a blunt at the train station
and smoked it there.
-Don't they always say that, like,
a lie just has way too many details?

There's no way you remember -- You smoke a lot of weed.
You don't remember this story in this much detail

I'm going to say -- But, also -- Wait.
Pete's luck. Pete Davidson's luck.
-Pete don't miss.

We walked back up.

And they wrote down all my information.
They wrote down my buddy's information.
And they were like, "Alright.
You can go back to class because you're a stand-up guy.
As for your friend? Right to the slammer."
