Underrated.

I'm circumcised, never done me any issues.

Never done me any problems.

I mean what?

You're gonna ask me a question,

I'm not gonna like not.

Everyone's like, why you saying that you're circumcised?

Why say I'm not circumcised?

We're talking about circumcision.

You've either got two images in your head,

neither are good, both are a penis.

No one wants to be thinking about those things.

So, there's no difference.

I don't think that I've ever had any issues.

It's cleaner, is it, I hear?

Well, any party, nightmare.

Overrated, get me out of there, thanks very much.

See you later, I'm going home.

Especially not surprise.

What if I've got like a headache?

I'm not gonna be obliged to knock around

with you losers, I'm going home.

I don't know whether they're overrated or underrated,

I suppose it depends what kind of time or night

or how much sleep you've gotten, those kind of things.

I find it kind of easier to be with the kids,

there's no agenda with kids, right, really?

Like there's a real kind of purity

and I'm quite up for having a baby, as well,

to be honest with you.

I just haven't really had the time.

But I'm not particularly scared of it,

like I had a bit of a,

me and my girlfriend had a bit of

a pregnancy scare not long ago,

and I was a bit like, yeah, bring it on.

Logistically, it'd probably be a bit of a nightmare

but I think philosophically it might sort me out.

Give me this really direct purpose

that's really understandable, do you know what I mean?

Instead of just walking around life,

just worrying about myself.

Overrated, 'cause why is he a bunny?

What's that about?

I don't know why it's a rabbit,

I don't know why eggs are knocking around.

It's like this really confused set of visual ideas.

A rabbit who does eggs,

who's also a bit like a fairy that knows Jesus.

It's like, what?

In the studio, someone did that to me not long ago.

Hann was on Amazon and fake shit was like suggested

to him for like a $1.

Like, it was do you also want some shit?

He's like, yeah, sure, I'll have that.

Ended up in my bed.

I thought a raccoon had come in or something,

I was really trying to figure out what happened.

Overrated yeah, I wasn't into that.

Oh, probably underrated,

but I'm not very good with multivitamins ever since I did,

I had never had them before,

and my tour manager was like,

have some of these it'll make you feel better.

And I hadn't had breakfast, and I was on live radio.

And you know if you eat them without food,

they make you really sick, I wasn't aware of that.

I threw up all over live Australian radio

after multivitamins,

and the taste of it has kind of scarred my life.

So, I really don't like multivitamins.

I like to go hard though

if I'm gonna try something for the first time.

Like when I went to South by Southwest, do you remember?

And Nick, who was our radio guy,

I asked him for some like Pro Plus

and he have me three Adderall.

I'd never had, didn't know what this was.

So, he held them out so I just necked them,

I didn't sleep for four days, it was wild.

Eight shows with no sleep, that was a trip.

I fucking loved that week, it was so good.

But like yeah,

America you can really get some crazy shit over here.

Underrated seeing as I think the,

how important or integral it is

to any kind of cultural movement.

Tell me a really,

really important band that didn't start out like that.

Tell me an important band that seeds on in teenage drama.

My whole career has been presenting the apocalyptic sense

of being a teenager in a major key.

That's like my whole thing,

so I have to go along with teenage angst being underrated

'cause it's so important to me.
