‘How to Rob a Bank’ stars Pete Davidson, Nicholas Hoult and Anna Sawai face off in an outrageous game of Lie v. Lie, swapping embarrassing confessions, unbelievable Hollywood stories and convincing bluffs to see who can separate fact from fiction. All three claim to be terrible liars, but as Nicholas suspects, they might be better at it than they think.

How far did Pete really go to escape a terrible dinner with a costar? Which harrowing audition still has Nicholas Hoult traumatized to this day? And should we add not just lying, but horseback riding too to the list of Anna Sawai's hidden talents? Between Pete's bizarre rejected 'Saturday Night Live' sketch pitches, awkward attempts to impress crushes and a head-scratching case of mistaken celebrity identity, discover how well these costars know each other, and whether you can beat them at picking out the lies.

00:00You know when you pee, and then you put it back in your underwear, and then
00:07there's sometimes like one drop or two? Never. Okay, well I have a leaky pipe, so.
00:17Morning everyone. Hi. Are you a good liar? No. I mean, well, no. No. I think we're all lying.
00:27I think it means very good lines. Yeah. Let's find out.
00:33I'll go first. Tell your best audition story. Okay. I got offered a part, and I was like,
00:43oh, this is a director I want to work with. Great. And then like a few weeks later, they
00:47were like, hey, they want you to audition. I was like, wasn't that an offer? I'm like,
00:51going to go back and check the email out. And I was like, it said offer, right? And they
00:55like, yeah, it was an offer, but they just want to make sure. And I was like, okay. Went
00:59in, did the audition. And then the director was like, hey, will you improvise a traumatic
01:06event from the character's childhood? And I did. Very traumatic event. Improvised. They
01:14were stunned, silent in the room. Didn't get the part. Auditioned for a part that I was
01:19offered and didn't get it. I think that's true. Because you told me he didn't start.
01:26Wait, but I also heard the story, but I didn't hear the, I heard the story, but he didn't
01:31tell me the whole part. The improvising bit? Yeah. So I thought that part was a lot. The
01:35improvising bit was the most painful part. Oh gosh. Oh gosh, indeed. It's all right. I'm over
01:42right now. In your new film, you play bank robbers. Tell me a time you stole something
01:47off set. Okay. Um, I was on a show and there were a couple of things that I wanted from
01:56the
01:57show. And so I obviously asked the people, costume designer props and you know, everyone,
02:03which items I wanted from every department. And the props department didn't give me a yes.
02:10They were like, Oh, we'll ask. But they never gave it to me. So I snuck it off set.
02:16What was it? Yeah. It was a cross. A cross. Yes. A necklace. True. I think probably true.
02:27It's a lie. No. Oh, that was good. Yeah. You liar. Yeah. What was true about it?
02:34They gave it to me. Oh, they just gave it to you? Yeah. I didn't steal it. Oh. God damn.
02:38Okay.
02:39So you are a good liar. Yeah. What's the most ridiculous law you told to get out of something?
02:45Uh, I was working on this, uh, movie co-star lovely guy, but like a lot and, uh, invited me
02:54out to dinner
02:55with one of his friends and his friend also a lot. And, uh, I was so bored and overstimulated that
03:04I
03:05told them I my pants. And then I did a, uh, a waddle like out of the restaurant. And I
03:12was like,
03:12I'm so sorry guys. I fully crapped my pants. I have to go. And he was like, Oh my God.
03:17Like,
03:17yeah, get out of here. I was like, see ya. Sorry. I was like, I'll see you on set tomorrow.
03:23It gets live. It's true. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The best part was the waddle. And then I was like,
03:30you're such a good actor. Yeah. But imagine how painful someone has to be to be like,
03:36I'm dookied my pants. Yeah. Who was it?
03:42What was the wildest thing you ever did to impress a crush? There was a girl I fancied, um,
03:48at school. We were doing a play together. And after school, we'd gone,
03:52got into town to get lunch. And then I climbed to the top of a lamp post
03:58and hung upside down for my knees to pretend to be a bat.
04:05Because I don't know why. I just thought it was perhaps.
04:10Really? Yeah.
04:13It's a lie. I had nothing. I wanted, I wanted that to be true.
04:17I don't know where I was going with it. I wanted that so badly to be true.
04:19Yeah, it should have been true. It's kind of ridiculous.
04:22It's so stupid that I thought it was true.
04:24It's kind of. You know what I mean?
04:25I don't know why that would have been impressive.
04:29I get a point.
04:31What's a piece of advice you once got that stuck with you?
04:37That stuck with me. I'm thinking of the advice you gave me.
04:41That was good advice. True.
04:45Oh, you know what? Yes.
04:47When I was working with, you know, a group of people,
04:51I was worried about one of the girls. And I asked my manager,
04:58she doing okay. And well, he said, yeah, she's doing fine because she says yes to everything.
05:03And his advice was for me to say yes to everything. It stuck with me in a negative way.
05:09I think that's bad advice.
05:10Say yes to any job?
05:12No, just say yes. Like whatever they tell me to do, I say yes.
05:15I think that's bad advice.
05:16Yeah. But may be true.
05:18I'm going to say it's a lie.
05:20It's true.
05:21I suck at this game. I hate this game so much.
05:24Come on, we're having fun.
05:25I hate it. I must win.
05:28What are your worst SNL sketch pitch?
05:32I had this sketch idea for, you know, when you, it's more for guys.
05:36You know, when you pee and then you put, you put it back in your underwear.
05:43And then there's sometimes like one drop or two.
05:47Never.
05:48Okay. Well, I have a leaky pipe.
05:50So my pitch was to invent a tiny cloth tip that goes on the tip of your wiener after you
06:00pee
06:00to absorb the extra drop or two so it doesn't get into your underwear.
06:06And where does this cloth tip live?
06:08It's in your pocket.
06:10And then after you pee, you willy handkerchief.
06:12Yes. So you picture your helmet and then this tiny little cloth.
06:16And then you just bring your helmet.
06:17Yeah. You picture my helmet.
06:18And then it's, it's almost like a shower cap for your pee pee head.
06:22And this was, oh, it's a cap.
06:23This was a, this was a sketch slash.
06:25I also think it's a phenomenal idea.
06:27So it's not a handkerchief.
06:28No, it's a penis tip chip chip.
06:31It's a tiny handkerchief for your wiener tip.
06:34And I pitched this dead seriously along with another sketch called snortable vitamins for drug addicts.
06:44Because if you snort healthy stuff, snortables.
06:50Yeah, it's all true.
06:52True.
06:53True.
06:53Yeah.
06:54I'm willing to invest in this company.
06:55Snortables?
06:56Is it afraid?
06:56No, no, no, no, the willy handkerchief.
06:57Oh, the willy handkerchief.
06:58Yeah.
06:59Yeah, yeah.
06:59I think snortables is a terrible idea.
07:00The willy handkerchief is good.
07:02What was the reaction to that sketch pitch?
07:05The reaction to that sketch pitch?
07:06Yeah, did Lauren give you a name?
07:07He just went like this.
07:10And then he turned to someone else and said their name and was like, what's your idea?
07:14Like, he didn't say anything, which just says a lot.
07:18Maybe it was too close to home for him.
07:20Yeah.
07:21I know you're all, you know, you're super well oiled machine, but some of us have leaky tips, okay?
07:27I just think the handkerchief.
07:28Just a helmet kerchief.
07:30Yeah.
07:30It's like putting a little, like when it's winter, you put a little.
07:34I think you want it hanging close by on like a key chain, like an old pocket watch.
07:37Well, then it would get dirty.
07:38You got to put it in the little pocket.
07:40Yeah.
07:41And then, you know, at the urinal, you know, I stand by it, dude.
07:47Yeah.
07:49You wait, you wait, you're going to sit around one day and see that infomercial and be like,
07:54I really slept on that idea.
07:56Be like, damn, Mr. Allen ring doorbell.
08:00And now this.
08:02Can I go?
08:03Yeah.
08:04Do you believe completely?
08:07Oh, okay.
08:08Tell me about a time you did something amazing, but no one was there to see it.
08:12Oh, that's a good one.
08:16I was horse training for work and we were just doing, like I'd never ridden a horse.
08:24So we were just doing everything from the basic stuff.
08:27And they, you know how they have the little thing that you can jump over.
08:31I was, I wasn't training to do that.
08:34But when I was like balloping with the horse, the horse just jumped it.
08:38But no one was really there like properly videotaping it.
08:41So I have no proof.
08:43That's true.
08:44True.
08:45That's awesome.
08:46Whoa.
08:47See, you said you were the worst at it.
08:48You're crushing.
08:49I had time to think.
08:50You're crushing.
08:51Damn.
08:52She's winning, right?
08:54What's the most unusual skill you've had to learn for a role?
08:58You would be my friend.
09:01Well, OK, so I voiced a rabbit for an animated thing.
09:05So I had to learn how to speak like a rabbit.
09:08And be a rabbit.
09:08And be a rabbit.
09:09So we were, me and the rest of the cast, like four or five of us,
09:12had to meet up for these workshops before we began.
09:14It was all in English.
09:15But beforehand, we like as part of, I don't know, bonding slash.
09:25I haven't finished yet.
09:26You got to learn how to be a rabbit.
09:28Yeah.
09:29For an animated movie?
09:30Yeah.
09:31No way, dude.
09:31OK, well, yeah, it's a lie.
09:33Yeah, of course.
09:33I was just trying to get into the game a little bit.
09:35Yeah.
09:36Sorry, dude.
09:37You know, I didn't get to the funniest bit of the story.
09:39What is it?
09:40No, it doesn't matter.
09:40OK, it's a lie.
09:42You said you'd rain throw me.
09:46Have you ever pretended to know someone famous and got caught?
09:51Oh, well, I have an adjacent answer.
09:54It's like a question that's sort of similar.
09:56I go to Flushing.
09:58You go, like, get dumplings in Queens.
10:01I went into this restaurant and the waiter thought that I was Steve-O from Jackass.
10:11And then I went along with it and then took pictures with all of the staff and they kept
10:16saying, that's Steve-O, that's Steve-O.
10:24That's true.
10:26Really?
10:27It's good.
10:28It's good.
10:28How were the dumplings?
10:29Phenomenal.
10:31I'm the winner.
10:32Congratulations.
10:33Are you proud to be the best liar?
10:35I'm proud that I can do something that I thought I couldn't.
10:37I promise no, it's a lie to me.
10:39Yeah, I'll never lie to you guys.
10:41Ever.
10:42I will.
