Oh my God, they're so underrated

'cause they're so cute, I actually got my boyfriend

for Christmas, last Christmas, two pygmy goats

and they're two little goat sisters,

they're really cute, they're tiny,

they live on a farm, and they've just got

like the best personality.

They jump around and they wanna play

and they're really cuddly and they're just so cute

and more people need to have goats,

everyone needs to get a goat.

[drumming]

Miniskirts are underrated, wearing a miniskirt

could maybe get you some kind of unwanted attention

but I think we're also coming to a point

where we're claiming ownership of our bodies

and becoming very, very confident in that

and so I feel like miniskirts are definitely underrated

and we should bring it back because we bloody deserve it.

[drumming]

You know that game that people were playing

for ages on their phones,

and it was like trying to find the Pokemon

and then people were getting like bloody run over.

I definitely think that's overrated and should

not be happening in this day and age, I mean, that's insane.

But Pokemon in itself, I feel like I've got

quite a lot of fun childhood memories.

And so I feel like in itself, the rating is good,

but anything that exceeds just the like general Pokemon

and Pokemon cards, that goes one step further

into trying to bring it in to our everyday lives,

absolutely not, get rid of it, I don't wanna see it.

[drumming]

I don't know, I bloody love IKEA to be honest.

Lots of people love IKEA, I don't think

it's overrated or underrated, I think it's just perfect

exactly where it stands.

I remember moving into like my first apartment

and needing to buy like a bunch of furniture really quickly

and I just like ran and got everything

in IKEA, plus the food.

Well every time I go to IKEA, I get like a massive bag

of Dime chocolate, but it's like salted caramel chocolate

but it's like crunchy and it's covered in milk chocolate.

It's delicious and you can get it there.

I'm into like that little deli there.

[laughing]

[drumming]

I think selfies are a little bit underrated to be honest.

[laughing]

When you're on your own and you look kinda cute

and you wanna take a picture,

why are they just seen as such an embarrassing thing?

It's like why can you not just do the shameless selfie,

just take that picture, you know you want to.

[drumming]

I've had cheap beer but only out

of wanting to get drunk, to be honest.

So maybe it is a bit underrated, it's quite fun.

[drumming]

They're just like delicious and like they're soft

and a little bit sweet and salty and just amazing.

And my favorite place to get a bagel is in New York.

I love to go to that spot, Russ and Daughters,

on the lower east side, I will wait the line.

Underrated, overrated, I've no bloody idea, just love them.

[drumming]

Love that movie so much.

What's her name, Kate Winslet.

Like the hair changes are so iconic

and she's such a fun character.

I love it, maybe it is a bit of an underrated classic.

I feel like some other movies come at the top

of some peoples lists before that.

But it's definitely a really special one.

[drumming]

Overrated, you're just exhausted the next day

and you're just a shell of a person.

All you need is sleep.

I guess the only time to pull an all nighter,

is if you're sure you've got nothing to do the next day.

Then you can sleep all day, but definitely overrated.

It's so much more fun to go to the party for a bit

and go home at the right time

and feel really accomplished.

[drumming]

I think exercising is good exactly where it is.

I feel like there's always a positive message

around exercising, I think it's incredibly important.

It's really important for your mental health, I feel like,

to just get up and you know, get out

and work out and do something.

I think it makes a massive difference

and people feel like maybe, or at least I did,

until I found the things that I really loved,

that exercising was such a pain in the arse

and just a chore and I just couldn't be bothered.

But I think, once you kind of find certain things

that you love, like for me, I really enjoy yoga

and then occasionally I like to do some spinning,

or you know, something like that,

that I feel like I can get behind

and I really enjoy it, that makes me feel really good.

And I don't find it like annoying and like a chore

and I feel like a positive messaging around exercising,

I feel like that's really important.

[drumming]

He's underrated because you know, he's always been a fighter

for equality and human rights.

You know, I would've liked to have seen America

under his administration

but I don't think that the world was ready for that yet.

I love him, I think he's amazing

and I think he's gonna continue to do incredible things

and people will see that more and more.

[drumming]

I like tie dye, it's a bit maybe overrated,

a little bit, but it's also like

such an easy thing to do at home.

I think what's really cool actually,

is people like repurposing outfits

that they've already worn

and trying to make things different

and I think that's really important,

especially in this kind of age of fast fashion

and people are constantly just like buying clothes,

never wearing them again, or if they've been seen in it,

never wanting to wear it again.

And I think it's really important

that if you have something that you love,

yes, you wear it again, but if you want to,

you can like jazz it up and do something special to it

and make it so that you do love it

and if that involves tie dying it

and making it feel brand new, I think absolutely.

But I don't know, maybe in the fashion sense,

maybe a bit overrated.

Maybe there's too much tie dye in this world.
