Moustaches are undoubtedly overrated.

I'm with Noel Gallagher on this one, it definitely

means that you're putting too much energy, and thought,

and life into hair above your lip.

[drum roll]

[cymbal crash]

The Great British Bake Off is totally

overrated, overcooked, overhyped, over it.

[drum roll]

[cymbal crash]

Any kind of technology, sex becomes a,

kind of a function of it straight away.

So, it's just the way we are, it's

all about the sex isn't it?

No matter what the technology.

[drum roll]

[cymbal crash]

Morrissey, ah, enigma, ex partner, words, politics.

[drum roll]

[cymbal crash]

Love and hip hop.

I don't understand why I lost to a, a relate age really.

Actually if I think about Kendrick Lamar, I think that's

kind of underrated really, love and hip hop.

Yeah, I'm just getting a nice warm feeling right now.

I like that phrase, I'm gonna keep that

with me all day, love and hip hop.

So, Love and Hip Hop is a terrible reality TV show, I

really wanna see that right now.

Kendrick's not gonna be on that show, right?

No, no, no, no, no.

It's sounds great, ha.

[drum roll]

[cymbal crash]

Jazz, I'm gonna go there people, jazz is fuckin' awesome.

McCoy Tyner, awesome, John Coltrane, awesome, Cannonball

Adderley, off the scale, Miles Davis,

obviously, the jazz revival starts here.

[drum roll]

[cymbal crash]

Uh, okay, bone china, totally, totally overrated.

For some reason, in the 1980s, the Smiths made our

records, our albums, in these old

country houses, these residential studios.

You go in there and it was just all bone china in there,

like old cups and saucers from the family that lived there

before, so, I have this association with these tiny little

cups and trying to make a decent cup of tea there

when I'm trying to make a fucking hit record,

so, nah, nah, just remind me of cold, old, country houses

that charge me a thousand pounds a day.

[drum roll]

[cymbal crash]

Baseball, totally overrated.

One time I sat on a couch with someone who was a big fan

and got stoned and they explained it to me.

It was fascinating but I'm sure it was probably only

five minutes went by and, um, seemed like hours frankly.

It's an interesting five minutes,

probably something to do with the weed.

[drum roll]

[cymbal crash]

Uh, I'm not really involved with Red Bull, just because

of the whole inference of bovine testicles

is not really my jam, should we say?
