(drum roll)

Maybe in their day, overrated.

People just forgot to rate 'em, now.

Have nothing to do with chia seeds, it turns out.

Sort of thought that was gonna be their comeback.

You've got your seeds and your kombucha.

They have nothing to do with chia seeds?

Chia seeds, Chia pets.

It's not chia seeds that's planted in them?

Well, I mean, I'm just saying strictly from

a marketing perspective, when you get

the chia seeds now, that's kind of like the new kale.

But there's no Obama head involved,

you know what I'm saying?

Chia seeds.

What are we talking about?

(drum roll)

Overrated.

I think just buy new clothes every time.

That's what I do.

Underrated if you can do it at home

because it just gives you some time to do your laundry

at home?

I got a good laundry situation.

My coin place is at the corner of my block,

so I don't have to hang out there and watch TV.

I can go home and do my thing,

come back and check on it.

I'm not worried about anybody stealing my clothes, so.

Yeah, my underwear store's on the corner of my block,

so just buy new ones.

(drum roll)

You know what, I would roll with Jar Jar in my squad.

Would you?

Yeah, he's a wild card.

Jar Jar and Bucket Cat?

You need a wild card in your squad,

and Jar Jar, if nothing else, is a wild card.

Yeah, he is the wild card.

He's kind of the guy that you gotta be like,

look, I mean, he's my friend, but we don't hang out.

We're not cool, really.

I mean, we go back.

But you never know what's gonna happen

when he walks into a party.

He's gonna knock something over for sure.

Get his tongue stuck on ice or something.

Yeah.

I mean, underrated.

(drum roll)

Overrated.

Overrated.

Why do you want to be that old?

It's just a point where it's like, come on.

Yeah.

I don't- (laughs)

That sounds nice.

A hundred?

But so many of your-

We have a few hundred year old fans out there.

Fuck life.

I don't know.

It's just at that point, so many of your,

you're the last of your group of friends.

And maybe you made some new young friends.

I just think it'd be sad.

I just think that if I was 100 years old

and someone told me that that was sad,

I would have my feelings hurt.

They're not paying attention to this.

Hundred year olds?

Sorry.

(drum roll)

Oh, under.

I'm vegan.

I'm the only one that's gonna say that, I think.

It's overrated.

Aw, go ahead, tell 'em.

Put it on blast, I don't care.

Nah, it's fine.

(drum roll)

You know, underrated.

I was on the giraffe Wikipedia page recently,

and there's so much going on with that animal.

What would you call a giraffe, even?

Yeah, is it a dog?

It's a tall horse.

A tall horse, right?

Underrated, I mean, they're disappearing, you know?

Animals in general, underrated.

(drum roll)

There's 649 Pokemon?

Oh my god.

I guess overrated just by just sheer volume.

Do people still feel that they need

to collect them all?

I mean at 150, that seems reasonable.

Yeah, is that still the popular opinion,

you gotta get 'em all?

Pokemon just seems kinda fascist to me.

You're going around the countryside just abducting

these creatures from their natural habitat,

and just confining them to this tiny fucking ball.

And then you make them fight each other.

And then making them fight each other,

and then just for what, bragging rights?

Yeah.

Overrated.

Fuck you, Ash.

(laughs)
