Absolutely overrated.

Disgusting.

Honestly, when people show up in flip flops for like

a flight, for instance, like on an airplane?

And then they just like, they do that kick off thing

where they like kick the flip flop off?

No!

I think there should be a whole section in the plane

for people who wear shorts, flip flops, just...

Even T-shirts, I think covers much of your skin.

The longer you're on an airplane, like, we've all read

the statistics about how much skin and hair you lose.

I would fully support being given like a surgical outfit,

like a suit that's been--

[Tegan] A plastic bag to sit in.

Like just when you get on the airplane,

you're just like at Delta, you know, putting on this suit.

Everybody has to put one on.

Put one of those masks on, put gloves on

and then everyone just sits on the plane.

Sorry, we're getting hysterical.

We have to calm down.

Ask us something serious.

This one?

I don't think I use--

Oh, I use it every once now when I'm like, ha-huh.

Like, I use that one.

If you're asking me specifically if in my own emoti

language if I use that very often, I don't.

So it's probably quite underrated in my world.

I don't really ever seeing myself ever winking

and sticking my toungue out.

Like, even inside I don't do that really.

I don't like it when heterosexuals people wear bow ties.

Like, if one of my gay guy friends wore a bow tie

I'd be like, that's a great bow tie.

But for some reason when I see like a straight guy wearing

a bow tie, I'm like, oh, fuck off.

Wow, Sara's taking bow ties from heterosexual men.

It's about time we took bow ties back.

Gays are out of control!

We want in your bathrooms, we want in your chapels,

and now we want your bow ties.

Tegan thinks they're overrated, she does not like clowns.

No, I feel like they are overrated.

I was at a parade, it was the pride parade,

and it was a group of LGBT

therapists who were like promoting their businesses

in the parade or whatever and they were all dressed

as clowns, and then I saw my therapist

and she was dressed as a clown.

And it was pretty upsetting.

I think overrated, people really blow it out of proportion.

I think people make it seem like we have super powers

and this built in best friend.

We were asked a few days ago if we sleep in bunk beds,

and I think there's a little bit of a sort of deranged idea

that Tegan and I sort of--

It's either like people make us too sexual,

or they remove sexuality all together.

It's like Tegan and I are smooth Barbies and we just like--

I am actually a smooth Barbie.

And we just like live in our dollhouse and like, you know,

make like food together and then like, you know,

pull the blanket up in our twin beds.

And like, you know, Goodnight, Tegan.

Goodnight, Sara.

Like, it's creepy.

There's something sort of weird about him.

I mean, my brain just went to this place where I was like,

have people done weird sex--

Like, have they made weird sex things about Waldo?

Like, Waldo like now would be very funny.

He's like a cartoon but he's like in Kanye's and Kim's

sex tape or like, you know, where's Waldo?

It's just like, would that be a funny thing?

I don't know, that didn't make me laugh.

I'm sorry that I went there, but eh.

Underrated, Waldo.
