Jeff Tweedy Rates Stuffed Crust Pizza, Men’s Jewelry, and High School Reunions

[upbeat drum music]

I would say it's overrated,

but also I blame myself for not having the patience

or the work ethic to wear jewelry.

Do you take them off?

Do you put them on in the morning?

At the same time, that's how they portray pirates.

And you would think

that pirates would not have that kinda time.

Yeah, they really portray pirates

as being very image-conscious.

[drum roll]

I, like a lot of people in this day and age,

have a complicated relationship with bread.

I really wish that I could give my whole-hearted endorsement

of a bread bowl because in my heart of hearts,

it's a very, very comforting notion

to have a bowl that you can eat.

But I have successfully avoided bread bowls

for some years now, and now I want one.

Thanks for reminding me.

[drum roll]

[chuckles] High school reunions,

overrated, just the thought of it,

fills me with anxiety.

Coincidentally we're in Belleville

for one of my high school reunions.

It's actually a story in my book.

I ran into some of my classmates, and they thought

I was in town to go to the high school reunion.

And they asked me if I still had a little band,

and they reminded why I didn't want to go

to the high school reunion.

[drum roll]

All metal is underrated.

All metal musicians, all genres of metal is underrated.

Say for example you listen to an indie rock station,

like if you have Sirius XMU or something like that,

and you listen to those bands and they're trying so hard

to sound like they don't care about anything.

And then you switch to liquid metal

or some like super hard-core like black metal band

or something like that,

there is no mistaking that they give a shit.

You can't do that without fucking working your ass off.

So I'm always inspired by metal bands.

[drum roll]

He's a genius, Weird Al is underrated.

Name another artist that has

their own completely self-contained genre.

He's one of the only ones you know,

just has made his own world of what he does

and you can't go anywhere else for Weird Al.

If you want some Weird Al, you have to go to Weird Al.

[drum roll]

Stuffed crust pizza is just overrated,

seems pretty disgusting to me.

What difference does it make whether it's in the crust

or on top of the crust?

Is it just because they didn't think

they could get enough cheese on top of the pizza?

Is it because people didn't eat the crusts enough?

Is it like the crust lobby?
