I rate it well.

Long, but I like a long movie.

I like that genre.

I rate it perfectly.

You should have asked me about Taxi Driver.

I would have told you what I thought.

[Interviewer] How do you feel about that?

It might be overrated.

I think think Irishman is better than Taxi Driver.

[drum beat]

Underrated, man.

Bring the vibes back.

Come on.

I want a Grammy.

[drum beat]

Underrated for sure.

Passing's one of the most beautiful things

that happens in basketball.

He mastered it,

so I have to go underrated.

[drum beat]

Overrated.

A lot of airhead action out there.

And let's just get down to it.

I don't like earthquakes.

And I've read a lot of articles

that they're only supposed to get worse from here.

I don't have any interest in that.

I don't wanna be there when that happens.

I also think Eastern Time is the superior time on earth.

I was raised on Eastern Time.

So I'm cut from a different cloth.

Over there, they're so behind

and I don't like waking up

and everybody else has been up for three hours.

I don't like -

I don't like being on the West Coast, really.

I like The Bay.

I like Seattle a little bit.

But L.A. is like, come on.

It's cool to visit.

Can't set up a real lifestyle there.

[drum beat]

These days? Underrated.

Eminem catching a lot of slander from the new generation.

Think they don't have the context of what he was.

Truly a icon.

When I was nine through 13,

that's really who I wanted to be.

I used to watch 8 Mile

and I'd watch the scene of him in the warehouse

and just get off like -

That movie and the freestyles at the end,

I knew the lyrics to all of them.

I love Eminem.

And I don't like -

I don't like the new slander.

I don't like that it's the new way to slander him.

[drum beat]

Underrated.

Packs a punch, it's real.

You can just sip on it and you'll get somewhere.

[drum beat]

Now you did something.

That is the most underrated thing you've said so far.

I love that show.

During the top of quarantine,

me and my best friend, Irvin,

binge watching that show.

It's about as good as television gets.

Thank you for bring that [bleep] up.

[Interviewer] How would you do on Survivor you think?

I think I'd be able to be political.

I'd do alright.

No telling, no telling, no telling.

I'm a sneaky bastard, you know?

[drum beat]

Overrated.

Big time.

Mob boss.

[drum beat]

Now you're talking that [bleep].

Underrated.

I was raised on country music.

Classic country.

Not the new digital sound.

I'm talking about -

the classic.

Willie Nelson.

Johnny Cash.

Johnny Paycheck.

It has a true effect on my songwriting.

My dad played country in the house,

so I love country music.

I hate the rep it gets, but -

Underrated.

[drum beat]

Might be overrated.

And this is coming from someone that showers religiously.

But I'm not someone who spends 40 minutes in there.

And those are the people that I have an issue with

and that's why I say something like that could be overrated

because a lot of people,

they spend that extra time in there.

There's no need for that.

I'm five minutes.

Five minutes.

And some people,

I'm environmental.

[drum beat]

It's a hot seat right now.

Perfectly rated.

I gotta tap in.

It's not my style.

I don't like all the noise.

But perfectly rated.

I see, I see it.

I get it.

[Interviewer] Do you think a grunge revival is coming?

[Jack sighs]

I hope not.
