00:00Yes, I always want to hold a baby. That's not mine.
00:02And one day I will hold a baby that's mine.
00:13In kindergarten, I knew a guy who had anger issues
00:20and would go outside and kick the shed repeatedly,
00:23and now I think he's a professional baseball player.
00:27Underrated.
00:32Underrated. Are you kidding me?
00:33What a great, silky smooth voice. Melody King.
00:36He sampled my brother's song,
00:39and it came on in a jazzercise class I was in just a few weeks ago,
00:44and I really kicked it up a notch. Underrated.
00:48I came to Goon.
00:50Wait, well, yeah, that's a... whatever.
00:53He has a silky beautiful voice, and yeah, he's beautiful.
00:56And it is, I came to Goon 410.
00:58The Biscuits lose.
01:00You know?
01:01They'll know.
01:07Overrated a little bit. I don't know.
01:09Who... when did the world come to so many people thinking that I give a shit?
01:15You know?
01:16Some are good.
01:17I like podcasts that are story-based or true crime,
01:20and some people are really good at it.
01:22But what makes you think I want to sit there and listen?
01:27There have been times in my life that I've been into certain podcasts,
01:31but... and I'm not trying to bash anyone. That's their job.
01:37Um, but...
01:39I don't know. I don't know. I try not... I try not to... I don't know.
01:45I don't know.
01:46I think I sometimes like you more if you're quiet.
01:54Karaoke... okay, this is a tough one.
01:57I don't... I don't know if it's overrated or underrated,
02:01but I have to be in the mood.
02:03If I'm not in the mood, it's the last place I want to be.
02:05I had an experience like that, actually, recently,
02:07where I was at a karaoke spot, so tired,
02:10and I just was like... I don't have a song in my heart.
02:13And, um...
02:15Sometimes it's fun to watch other people do,
02:17but it's mostly just fun to do it.
02:18Like, I'm going to karaoke to sing.
02:20I'm not really going to karaoke to watch you sing.
02:22Like, I want to sing.
02:25Um...
02:26It's the truth.
02:27If I'm at karaoke, I cannot help myself.
02:30I am showing you how good I am, and I'm...
02:33I'm not just like, I can hit these notes.
02:35I'm like, listen to this tone.
02:37It's your ghostly karaoke song.
02:42It's Don't Rain On My Parade From Funny Girl,
02:45just because that song is... yeah.
02:48I don't know where else in my life I'd be singing that song for people.
02:52It's just an electrifying song to sing.
02:58Underrated.
02:59Adults who have a passion.
03:00You're obsessed with things like that when you're a kid.
03:04Um...
03:04And...
03:05Then it kind of dwindles out, I think, as you get older.
03:08And...
03:09I'm happy for those Disney adults.
03:11Am I one?
03:12No.
03:13Are any of my friends Disney adults?
03:14No.
03:15Would I befriend a Disney adult?
03:17He'd have to be really funny and smart.
03:20Is it weird?
03:22I think a little bit.
03:23But, again, just happy for anyone who loves something.
03:26I mean, listen, like, I like Pixar a lot.
03:29Like, I'll more often than not throw on something Pixar.
03:33Um...
03:34But that, I feel like, is really low spectrum of...
03:37Adult.
03:38Disney adult.
03:43Babies?
03:44Underrated.
03:45Babies?
03:45Babies are underrated.
03:46I love babies more than anything.
03:48I want one so badly.
03:49Not yet, but...
03:50I think babies are beautiful whenever I'm on a plane specifically and I see a baby pass through the aisle
03:57and they're just looking around at the plane like it's the most amazing thing ever.
04:00I cannot help but cry.
04:02They have the wonder of the whole world in their eyes.
04:06Babies are the most beautiful thing on the planet.
04:08I wish I were a baby all the time.
04:10I wish I were a baby.
04:11I love babies more than...
04:12I kind of don't...
04:14I mean, if anyone is this person in this room, I'm sorry, but people who are, like, obsessed with dogs
04:18and every dog on the street, they're like, look!
04:20I'm like...
04:23But it's not a baby.
04:25Like, I'm that way with babies.
04:26If I see a baby on the street, I start freaking out.
04:29I always wish I could hold random people's babies.
04:33And sometimes I even ask.
04:35Like, if I'm at an airport and it seems like the mom is stressed, it's always at the airport for
04:38some reason.
04:38I think I spend a lot of time in airports now.
04:40But...
04:41Yes, I always want to hold a baby.
04:43That's not mine.
04:44And one day I will hold a baby that's mine.
04:52I'm just gonna go with rated because it can be very helpful if you have a good therapist.
04:56It can be very helpful if you even don't have a good therapist, but you've just got a lot of
05:01shit on your plate and you need to get it out for an hour once a week to someone who's
05:06not in your personal life.
05:08I don't really believe in therapy as like a...
05:11I don't want to concern my friends and family with my woe, so I'm just gonna go talk to this
05:16random lady once a week.
05:18I really think therapy is probably the most helpful when your therapist is good.
05:21I've had, I think, six or seven therapists in my life and I think one of them was good.
05:27Sorry if you're my therapist and you once were my therapist and you're watching this.
05:32It's probably not you.
05:37Oh God.
05:39Overrated.
05:39I don't want to talk.
05:40I really don't want to talk at a party.
05:42Like, if I want to talk at a...
05:43If you see me at a party and it seems like I'm having fun, it's genuine.
05:46Cause I'm really comfortable and happy to find the corner and be with whoever I came with and just chain
05:53smoke and be a bitch.
05:57I'm not in the mood to party lately. I'm so tired.
06:04Girls, a TV show.
06:06Underrated always.
06:07It's brilliant.
06:08Every episode's good.
06:09Every word that's spoken by every single character is funny.
06:14It has heart.
06:15I feel like that's what is so amazing about that show.
06:18It's like, yes, it's funny.
06:19Yes.
06:20It's relatable.
06:21Yes.
06:23You know, I can see myself in these characters, but it's, it's the heart of that show.
06:28It pulls at your heartstrings.
06:30It doesn't matter how, you know, funny or accurate or fascinating your show is.
06:38If I don't care about the people I'm watching, then it's to me not worth watching.
06:44Girls is a show that I walked in on my mom watching when I was in middle school and it
06:49was like a full on sex scene.
06:51And she paused and she was like, you can't watch the show.
06:53Um, but I was hooked.
06:55I, I just watched it behind my mom's back for a few years.
06:58And then senior year was when the finale was, um, the final season was, was airing and her and I
07:03watched the finale together.
07:05My mom and I.
07:05Which character would you say you are of the four girls?
07:10Of the four girls?
07:12Um, I'm probably Hannah now.
07:17I feel like I've had some Shoshana in my life.
07:21I want to be Jessa, but I'm not.
07:24And Marnie is just like, as I've watched the show more and more, my favorite character.
07:30Alison Williams is unbelievable.
07:32So brilliant.
07:33Um, but I probably am mostly Hannah now.
07:40Headboards.
07:44I kind of want to say overrated just cause I think you can have a really nice setup without one.
07:50And I know I have a lyric about judging a guy cause he didn't have one, but I don't know
07:56if I really do.
07:57I think it's less about the headboard and more about the entire room.
07:59And also sometimes you can't afford a headboard and there's something to say about that.
08:03That's something to be said for.
08:08Oh, underrated always.
08:11I think she's so inspiring and funny and interesting and natural.
08:16And I think she is the prototype of a kind of girl specifically that is quite aspirational, but she just
08:26is the actual embodiment of it.
08:28I just dropped my book.
08:30Oh, I'm a brilliant director and writer.
08:36Underrated.
08:38There's so much out there that I haven't seen yet.
08:45Oh God, I don't live in New York.
08:47So I'm sure everyone would say overrated, but I, to me, it's underrated.
08:51I think it's a really cool place.
08:52Um, I love all the restaurants.
08:54I love to see the people around, um, sort of malnourished, beautiful people around.
08:58And, um, I, yeah, I spend time there when I'm there.
09:05So I like it.
09:07Underrated.
09:13Underrated.
09:15Always.
09:16Always.
09:16He has.
09:18He has.
09:19He's been.
09:22I can't even speak.
09:24I actually did just see the Odyssey in 40X.
09:28So the chair was shaken and I was front row.
09:33Not, I don't know who would want to see the Odyssey in that way, but I still walked away having
09:38been shook and sprayed with water for three hours.
09:41And I was like, that was a great movie.
09:42Tenet was like a movie that came out when I was in college and every guy I knew was like,
09:47it is the greatest movie ever.
09:49And I didn't even see it.
09:50I just knew it made no sense.
09:53Based on the guys that I, that loved it, you know.
