Transcript

(drum roll)

Overrated.

What is that?

(laughs)

I don't know, I don't even really feel like

we should call it a horse at all.

Even in Pokemon, they give it like a dragon Pokemon rating.

It's not a dragon, you know, I don't really understand

our references for why we call seahorses seahorses.

They're not, what are they?

(drum roll)

Underrated.

I think karaoke's hella fun, you just gotta let go,

you know, I don't think a lot of people let go.

People are still like so worried

about other peoples' opinions, but when you get

the good round of no inhibitions karaoke,

it's hella fun.

I like feeling like Biggie, rapping Biggie lyrics.

(laughs)

And I'm not in a rush to sing in front

of a bunch of people either, so yeah.

(drum roll)

Underrated, definitely underrated.

A lot of jazz musicians that I got into for a time,

it actually started with a woman that just told me

she liked jazz music and I was just like oh yeah, me too,

you know what I'm saying?

This was back in high school so I had to like go rush home

and look up a bunch of shit and then when I was working

with Ungot on Trees and Truths we were

definitely experimenting with a lot

of different jazz artists and a lot of you know,

not just jazz artists, but artists

that are sampled and just currently only live on vinyl.

Underrated, for sure.

(drum roll)

I'm not a big baseball fan at all.

I would say, overrated.

This is not a super captivating sport in any moment

except for the action, you know what I'm saying?

I think the ratio of actual action to game time

is ridiculous for baseball.

I think I heard it was like 24 minutes of like action

of actual action to a like five hour game or something

like that, it was crazy so yeah, it's not for me.

(drum roll)

Overrated.

To the fullest extent.

Very fast I get into a mode of working all day.

If I go out at night, then I only get in at three AM

and then my schedule's jacked up and then I'm like

yo, what's today, Tuesday?

No, it's Friday, like oh shit, you know what I'm saying?

Like that happens every time I come here,

so definitely overrated.

I do love the shopping, though.

(drum roll)

Overrated, definitely overrated.

That's not cool, it's the staple for the uncle,

the old uncle with the leather sandals and the Bluetooth

and the phone case, you know the butt buckle,

all of those things are standard for the super lame.

(laughs)

(drum roll)
