Overrated.

I don't know.

We're not eating them.

They're so cute.

I saw this picture of a snail with popcorn in its mouth.

You know, they're so cute and expressionless.

I love them.

(drum roll playing)

Underrated.

Uh, I sincerely really like One Direction.

I have a huge poster of them on my wall

at home at my parents' house.

In middle school, I was the alt girl,

and so I couldn't like One Direction

and that was a big conflict for me 'cause

I really like their songs.

And I think they're all so cute.

Rest In Peace.

(drum roll playing)

Overrated.

I don't like Gritty.

I've looked into those eyes.

I've seen pictures of him.

I've been seeing pictures of his all week.

There's nothing behind those eyes.

Dead behind the eyes.

Terrifying, disgusting, abomination.

I don't wanna look at it anymore.

Let's get Gritty off of our timelines.

(drum roll playing)

Yes!

I literally came to this

hoping you'd ask me about Lil Xan.

I don't have my phone, but he's my background.

I think he's so cute.

(laughs)

(drum roll playing)

Third Eye Blind, they're underrated.

That red album, I don't know what it's called.

I still play it in the van all the time

and I, like,

there are times

in the Snail Mail set

that I can hear where I was thinking about Third Eye Blind

and I love the lyrics in How's It Gonna Be?

I think it's an insane tell-off, like, diss track.

I also, if I recall correctly,

I think they're called Sleater-Kinney sellouts.

So, overrated (laughs)

but the songs are incredible.

(drum roll playing)

Um, (laughs)

definitely overrated.

Everything is still trash (laughs).

I think, um,

I think that being indie famous

has gotten a lot of people to be mad at me

and it's gotten me, like,

it doesn't really change anything about

your actual life.

I think I'm busy

and I have a lot to do and I work really hard,

but people are either like, ugh,

'cause they think I'm a jerk now

or they just don't care.

'Cause being indie famous isn't a thing.

It's not like I walk down the street

and people are like, oh my God.

It's like, my friends are just mad at me now (laughs).

(drum roll playing)

Porta potties are overrated.

We've done enough festivals

that I just like,

it was cute, it was funny,

it was fine when I went to girl scout camp

when I was little.

It was acceptable,

but the fact that this is my adult job

and my everyday life and I still be using porta potties

is just like, it's belittling

and the worst is when it's cold,

like one of those England festivals

and the porta potty's cold and covered in bugs

and smells like cold pee.

It's just like,

I just wanna be an adult and can't (laughs).

(drum roll playing)

I went to girls' sleepaway hockey camp for so many years,

surrounded by the gayest gay people, literally,

of all time without realizing I was gay

and they also didn't realize they were gay.

It was like, I think about all the time.

I literally just remember like,

and looking back, we're still,

all of us are friends on Facebook

and I'm like, oh yeah,

Cheryl's gay, Sarah's gay, Jackie's gay,

of course, of course we were.

It's just like, I don't know.

I talk about it constantly.

I went to girls' sleepaway hockey camp

for so many years where everyone was gay

but we all tried to force ourselves to talk about boys

and it was like,

I wish I could go back and watch it in a movie,

'cause I could just, I don't know.

Looking back, none of us liked boys.
