I think you're telling the truth.
- It was a lie! - Aah!
I just made it up.
That's pretty good.
Hi, I'm Iliza Shlesinger.
And I'm Margaret Cho and we're
in the new Netflix film, Good on Paper.
We're gonna play Pants on Fire,
where we each take turns saying a fact about ourselves.
And we see if everyone can guess
whether they're true or not.
So the movie is all about dating, con artists
and people making things up to get what they want.
So this game is perfect for us.
My cousin just got married
and she had a bachelorette party.
It was in Solvang, which is like a lot
of girls go there for like wine tasting.
And I was on my way up there and then I got a call
for like a last minute gig in another state.
And I turned the car around
and like caught a connecting flight.
And I told her that I had gotten sick, sorry, Harley,
and that I couldn't make it, but I did the gig
and it wasn't even sold out, so I couldn't post any pictures
because then she would know that like I wasn't sick.
See, I think you’re telling the truth.
- It was a lie! - Aah!
I just made it up.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, I just didn't go to her bachelorette party
because I didn't wanna go.
I got my belly button pierced
and I got it pierced in 1987.
So this is, was that before you were born or?
Thank you so much, no, I was four.
I could still put a ring in there
and I sometimes put my actual earrings in.
They'll take them out of my ear and then I'll put them
on my belly button and then I'll put them back my ear.
I want to say that's true cause it seems like you would,
but I think it's a lie just cause
that's not the same type of ring.
It's true.
It is true, cause it seems like something you would do.
Yeah.
Like a fancy Chanel.
Yeah.
- Dangling piece. - Dangly thing.
I was on, it was like a regional flight.
It was very small plane.
They said, is there a doctor on board?
And there wasn't one, but I,
because it was such a small plane,
I like poked my head in to see what it was.
I know that if somebody like isn't breathing
you have to like clear the mouth.
And I know how to do CPR because when I did that movie
Instant Family they made us take a CPR class.
And so I was, I did CPR on a person
and we did it and they started to breathe
and I did it all the way until we like landed.
And the person got carted off to the hospital.
I don't think they died cause I think I would've found out.
Amazing, I think it's true.
It is false.
Wow, you did really good.
Yeah, thank you.
Good liar.
Thank you so much.
I was in a hot air balloon accident.
We landed in a cow field, this is in Napa Valley
and the other basket next to us, somebody died in it.
It's like a really bad accident, like 10 balloons went down.
After we got up, I was like covered in dirt.
And then my date and I went to the hospital.
We got all bandaged up and then we went back to my apartment
and we tried to have sex, but it was so painful,
we had to stop.
And then he never called me again.
I think it's false, I think you're lying.
No, it's true.
Oh my God, the whole time I just kept thinking like,
oh my God, did somebody have to like list
“Cause of Death: balloon accident.”
Yeah.
- That's so awful. - It was awful.
I went on a date one time, it was years ago,
we met up for a drink and we're sitting there
and I order a vodka soda and I noticed
that he doesn't get a drink and I'm like "Do you not drink?"
And he was like, "No, I do."
And I was like, “Okay,” and he pulls out a vial of GHB
and he downs it and he goes, "I just think
this works really well and it's a really good buzz
if you don't take it with alcohol."
We made out anyway, but like he drugged himself on our date.
We never went out again.
I think it's true.
It is true.
That's the kind of guy that we would meet.
- Yeah. - That's cute.
But like.
But hasn't worked, has a different thing going.
Does something weird.
Cause it makes it sound like I was a bad date, but I wasn't.
I listened a lot to his story.
Yeah.
I wonder if I was the only girl he did that with.
If you're thirsty for some lies, some tasty lies,
some true stories based on lies,
then check out Good on Paper.
She's telling the truth.
Truth is, it's a very good movie.
I wouldn't lie to you.
