Hey, what's up guys? Nicole Kotch in the Young Hollywood studio hanging out with Janelle Parrish. We're pretty little liars. How are you? Always happy to be the place to be. Good, how are you? Oh, really? Tell us more, tell us more. Just love you guys so much. And I, I planned my outfit accordingly. You really did. Yeah, just struttin' in the Young Hollywood today. Wow. Love it. So, the last time you were here, welcome back, by the way. Thank you. We tricked you. Yes, you did. So, you did really well. How does it feel to be fooled by a pretty little liar. I knew this was coming with the questions. Wait, what? Wait, what? Wait, what? How you've been fooled on Young Hollywood. I've lied. How did you You did. I lied. What do you mean? She knew all of them. I walked in today and I was like, no tricks today. You're not pranking me. Are you a little on edge today? I am a little bit on edge. I don't trust any of you. Like, someone's going to try to prank me at any second, but I'm ready. I'm really ready. Okay, we'll try to be nice to you. We'll see. Okay, cool. We can't promise anything though. I might be a little liar. Little trickster. Um, also, when you're here last, you said that you had 24 tattoos, so I'm dying to know, have you gotten any since you were last here? Nothing new since the last time, but it's only been what? Like two months, you know? So, next time you have me in, check back. But no, I think I'm running out of space. So. No. You look completely bare from where I can look at you. So, you have so much room. So much room. Yeah. Well, we'll see if inspiration, you know, strikes. Got it. Yeah. So, season 7, for people that don't know, it's a five-year jump. It's super cool. And you recently introduced a new character, right? Who's the board. Can we talk about that? The board game. As I call it, the games of hell. Yes. Liar's Lament. That thing is terrifying. It's actually kind of a genius idea to play with them in this way. Getting involved with the game and getting into the brain of the person who made it kind of messes with Mona a little bit and she might start to get a little seduced by the dark side. Will she end up on the good side or the bad side? Who knows? We'll have to wait and see. What was your reaction when you found out that there was going to be a board game like that? That's playing, it's playing such a strong character for this season. When I saw the game, I was like, oh, that's terrifying. It's just so creepy. Like the little people on the board and like just the little town and then there's like a graveyard and it says go to jail. You're like, what is this? Like Monopoly? A really demented person created it. That game specifically is about finding answers, you know, like people's answers in like their life. So, I'm kind of curious, if you could find out an answer to anything in the world, what would it be? You guys always make me speechless. Every time you come, you ask me a question and I'm like, I don't I don't know. Um, well, wait. Play some Jeopardy music when you do this to me. Yeah. I don't thank you. Any question in the world that I want to know the answer to? Yeah. Am I going to be nice to you and move on? I feel there's tension between us right now. Maybe I should move forward. You want our friendship to continue, maybe we should move forward. Oh, I love you so much. No, I can't. I honestly can't think of a good question though. Okay. Maybe at the end of the interview, you can think of it. Okay. Okay. We'll move on to something easier. Where where do we see Mona in like 10 years, if you had to choose? I'd kind of love her to be like the mayor of Rosewood. Then she can really control the entire town. I feel like that's a life goal for her, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm in for that. Somebody make that show. I'm down. We're down for it over here. Love it. Let's do it. And then if you had to choose one life lesson from PLL, just working on the show, what did it teach you? You should really be present in the moment and enjoy things because you know, it's like, you never know when it's going to be over. It just goes so fast, you know? Just appreciate everything that you have in every moment that is just special. Aww. Yeah. So sweet. And then we're going to go out with a would you rather game. Would you rather play the board game or hear the voices of dead people? Play the board game. Absolutely. Oh, really? Oh, okay. I didn't know that was going to be so easy for you. All right. Um, would you rather play the board game or be abducted by aliens? Play the board game. Okay. Would you rather play the board game or eat insects for every meal? Play the board game. Seriously? I love my meals. I have to have good meals or I'm just not happy. That game is here. Really? Okay. Would you rather play the board game or have nightmares every night? Oh, I stumped her for once. Have nightmares have nightmares every night because I'll wake up and it'll just be like, oh, never mind. Life's good. It's fine. It was just a nightmare. Right. Would you rather play the board game or spend the night in a haunted graveyard? Oh, oh, play the board game. No ghost stuff. Okay. I'm saying. I just realized my question. Oh my gosh. What is it? My question. Okay. My my one question that I could know the answer to. Are there ghosts? Yes. I just answered it for you. That was a good one, right? Was that a good one? Now I can move on because I've asked my question. Whether it's a good question or not, that's the question that I want because I'm terrified about ghosts. I have you never experienced anything? I've had weird experiences that are questionable, but it's like, are you there? Are you not there? Did I imagine that? So that's my question and I feel relaxed now that I answered it and that I don't have to go back to that. So now we can continue the game. Well, that was actually my last question for the interview. So you really did. I did. Until the last part of the interview to answer that question. Janelle, you're amazing. We had so much fun with you here.
