(drum roll)

Fidget spinners, I'm gonna have to say overrated.

I don't know if it is over, the fad is over yet.

I think I'm still seeing it from time to time

on various social media but I totally missed the boat

on that, I've been so deep in the album preparation

that it just seemed like it was all around me suddenly

and then hopefully it's died, the trend has died.

(drum roll)

Overly distressed jeans, yeah that's always been

a weird one for me, I have to say overrated.

Especially the kind that the designer,

like $400 tattered jeans, yeah just go to like fucking

Goodwill or something, I'm sure you could find,

yeah definitely overrated on the tattered, distressed vibe.

(drum roll)

I feel like I have fond memories from my childhood

so I'll say underrated.

I don't think I would necessarily touch it now.

It is kinda gross, right, just the look of it.

The little meatballs.

But yeah, as like a eight-year-old, whatever, bring it on.

Yeah. (drum roll)

Cracker Barrel.

I'm gonna have to say underrated,

I don't know if it's like a southern thing.

I certainly feel like I see them everywhere in the South,

I live in Atlanta.

Yeah, I think underrated, it's like, get a ton of food

for like eight bucks, something like that,

breakfast all day.

(drum roll)

Pepsi Crystal, what was that, like in the '90s?

I think that was pretty rad, yeah,

Pepsi was like thinking outside the box a bit.

I feel like I've recently seen, there's like a museum

of failed products and that's one of their featured items

but I'll have to say underrated, I remember the days of 1992

when Clear Pepsi was the jam one summer, yeah.

(drum roll)

I can't sleep sitting up, I've tried the neck pillow,

doesn't work for me, so I have to say overrated,

I see them everywhere, I just don't get it,

I have to be like completely laying down flat to sleep.

So first class all the way for me.

(laughs)

If only I could afford it half the time, but yeah.

Indoor water parks, I only feel like I've been to a couple

but they have a very familiar smell, I guess.

It's like a hotel indoor pool,

which definitely grosses me out.

Kind of like the hotel pool, the thought of millions of kids

cycling through every day.

Wetting themselves or whatever.

Yeah, definitely overrated.

Bob Moog, have to say underrated.

Anyone who can put together

the mini Moog, I feel like it was

one of those products that kinda revolutionized music.

Yeah I think before the mini Moog, it was like pretty much,

if you wanted to go the synthesizer route,

it was like huge massive modular synthesizers

that would take up half a room.

So yeah, I'm definitely good with Bob Moog.

(drum roll)
