This Sunday marks a major milestone—SHAKE IT OFF WITH MERT & LUCAS, LIVE! is turning one!
After a year of real talk, wild laughs, and powerhouse conversations, we’re pulling out all the stops for a birthday bash like no other. And who better to help us shake things up than two returning guests who brought fire the first time and are coming back even bolder?
HOUR 1: ARIELLE SCARCELLA
YouTube Content Creator • Cultural Commentator • Unfiltered Voice of the Internet
Arielle Scarcella is not your average YouTuber. With a fearless approach to controversy and an instinct for sparking conversations that matter, she’s spent over a decade building a fiercely loyal audience by saying the things others won’t. Her content dives into the complexities of identity, gender, sexuality, political correctness, and the minefield of online discourse—all with wit, grit, and a no-nonsense New York edge.
With millions of views and viral moments to her name, Arielle’s platform has become a lightning rod for those craving authenticity in a filtered world. Whether she’s breaking down hypocrisy in pop culture or challenging narratives that silence debate, she shows up with sharp insight and unapologetic candor.
On this anniversary special, Arielle joins Mert & Lucas to reflect on the state of free speech, the art of disagreement, and why shaking things up might just be the key to waking people up.
HOUR 2: DR. MONICA VERMANI
Clinical Psychologist • Author of A Deeper Wellness • Global Mental Health Advocate
Back by popular demand, Dr. Monica Vermani returns to Shake It Off with her signature blend of clinical precision, heartfelt wisdom, and compassionate storytelling. As one of Canada’s most respected voices in mental health, she’s helped thousands navigate anxiety, trauma, and burnout—and her bestselling book A Deeper Wellness offers readers a transformative roadmap to inner peace.
Drawing from Eastern and Western modalities, Dr. Vermani speaks to the human experience in a way that feels both grounded and expansive. She’s been featured everywhere from CTV to The Globe and Mail, and her guidance resonates with anyone seeking clarity and calm in a world that rarely slows down.
This hour, she’ll share tools for resilience, strategies for emotional balance, and fresh insights into what it really means to thrive—not just survive—in chaotic times.
✨ LET’S CELEBRATE!
This isn’t just another episode—it’s a celebration of bold voices, big ideas, and the power of honest conversation. Whether you’ve been with us from the start or you’re just tuning in, this is the perfect night to join the party.
