Big Case of Imposter Syndrome

I've always been bold. Much to my own dismay, honestly. My mouth has been making decisions on my behalf for years. The difference is that most people politely pretend not to notice. You, apparently, are choosing to encourage me. And listen, my fridge isn't the danger. My fridge is perfectly civilized. It's what happens when I start looking at the leftovers and start thinking weird things. That's where history gets made. So yes, come over. I'll feed you something that will either restore your faith in my cooking or become another story you tell people with the sentence, you are never going to believe what Jennifer Lawrence made me eat.

Did you really just say that? It made me laugh for a whole five minutes because nothing else could be more true. I enjoy watching you twist yourself around and get all riled up. You've officially set the stakes incredibly high on this I hope you know. I am 100% coming over now and I can only see it resulting in a winwin for me. Either I first hand get to see this chaos genius or I get the absolute story to tell everyone else for the rest of my life. I'm willing to risk my digestive tract just to see how the sentence , 'you wont believe what she made me eat' ends. But I also feel this is just a ploy to get me in your place. Ill go willingly though I wont put up a fight.

your nine year old clearly has great taste. and let's be real ― you probably used that towel once or twice yourself while they weren't around. how would you rate it on the softness level ? i'm a little confused how we got here in the first place, but i'm perfectly capable of cleaning my own stuff. and if someone else would do it for me, who's critiquing who in your eyes ? me their cleaning abilities or them my chaos ? oh, okay. texture probably making a larger impact is something i can get behind. i think we should try a frozen strawberry magarita for you then. you might actually keep the tequila in mind that way. yeah, sometimes it's the small things you never really paid that much attention to that'll break you in the end.

As much as you call me the hell out I will plead the fifth. Dont' make that towel in that fabric if you dont want it used. It’s like drying off with a cloud. Alright you may have raised a elite philosophical question there. If someone else is willing to step in to clean up your mess, who really has the upper hand? I’m going to go ahead and say it's a mutual truce. Are you teasing me with a frozen strawberry margarita experiment? Just promise me it's blended to perfection, no chunky ice allowed. I am really not high maintenance. Just when you think everything is completely under control, then boom something comes along to slap you in the face.

Have you never had anything with Tajín on it? Because if the answer is no, my god, we need to change that right away. Especially fruit, Tajín was meant for fruit. Obviously your kids are the coolest, and I'm happy to be right along with them. Oh, okay, I like where you're going with that because I love a good burger and I love a good fruity drink. Though right now I'm stuck on these drinks called Super Lytes, they're a vodka cocktail in a can that tastes like Gatorade, they're so good and perfect for summer. But now you've got me wanting to go to a good barbecue and get a burger and have a chelada. Lucky for me, I'm at home in Nashville right now, and finding a barbecue shouldn't be hard. Which, if you're ever down for some good burgers and drinks, I'll just say right now you should come to Nashville, and I'll show you the best places.

Oh, man, you're killing me here. No, I haven't dared to mix them but judging by your level of immediate moral outrage, I am clearly missing out on something I should be in on. If it's as life-changing as you claim, I will be gladly proven wrong. That’s no easy feat to be on the same level as my kids, so consider yourself part of a very elite inner circle now. Hold on ....a vodka cocktail that tastes like Gatorade? Are you for real? That sounds dangerously easy to drink on a basketball playing day. You are speaking my language. One of my good friends visited Nashville recently. You guys absolutely dominate the food and drink scene down there. I am 100% taking you up on that food tour next time I am in the area. Just promise me no Tajín on new fruit.

Well, watermelon was honestly the first thing that popped into my head but it could be because I'm currently shoving my face full of watermelon. Though what's more summer than cold watermelon with a little bit of tajín on it? But I'm not shocked that food would be the first thing that pops into my head, because food reminds me of everything. I really love food. What about you though? What's the first thing that summer brings to your mind?

That was proximity answer I get it. Tajin? Shit you sound like my kids with their hip food notions right now. Also summer just warrants it I feel like. If it wasnt watermelon it could be burgers or something on the grill or a fruity drink. That's what comes to mind for me a burger and a chelado always puts me in the summer mood. And Im in high summer time for myself right now

i don't think it'd be cocky, especially if it's the truth. the show did come at the right time and it's something that stands out. sometimes it can be hard to accomplish that. i think that you are right about that, but also the writing and the acting clearly have struck a chord with people. i have the feeling it's going to end up in the league of shows like friends or how i met your mother, people will always revisit it.

I will take your word for it cause you look like a guy whose incredibly grounded. Right? Ive seen great shows get sucked up in the fact it wasnt their time yet and that is sad. I do think people were looking for some kind words from a strong positive male. Makes me happy to know I may have that in me as a dad too Ah I mean it be good for the mailbox money.

no, it doesn't. i like knowing ted is always there for me. he is like my own cheerleader. thank you. that really means a whole bunch because i just want to do her proud. she deserves it, being an icon and all. it was so much fun. those girls and i are friends for life. ha! i love the commitment to it all. feel the english have a good chance this year. although their game against congo had me doubting.

Well this is going to be a selling point for season 5. Just say your name and say you cant be without him and poof I have another season locked in. I know one day Dais wont wait to watch it. She goes to all the Liberty games now with me the kid is really getting into sports for being a princess girl her first 6 years...well princess and spiderman girl. Well that didnt age well...

you have yourself a deal. an easy one that that, too.

I went to the game without you last night, you know how sad that was for me. Not actually I kept your seat warm though.

so when is this duel happening? you can talk the big talk, but let's put your money where your mouth is. vacation? never heard of her. even when i try to relax, there is always some form of inspo happening up in my brain so i am running away to record voice notes of songs. the teens? that is insane because i remember her as a toddler, i can't cope with any of it. i am sure that they will always want to hang with you. you are too cool not to. even if they distance a little, they will always come home. i don't blame you for that. what do you mena get better, i am already better, jase!

Oh, it is on. I am ready to back up every single bit of this big talk and let's meet up this weekend. What are we wagering here? Do I get Eras tour collectibles out of this? Also, "vacation? never heard of her" is the absolute one line of what I can relate to in your world. But I happen to think literally waits until you sit down with a drink and a sunset to drop a killer hook into your head. Yeah we need to talk about the toddler to teen pipeline they are in. It defies the laws of physics and time in my mind every damn day. I’m choosing to believe your prediction that I'll still somehow be cool then but if they start hitting me with the aggressive teenage eye-rolls, I'm not only holding you personally responsible I will be heartbroken. Lastly... "already better"? Alright, alright! let's see then!

that's cool. i've always wanted to learn a few things about producing, i just don't know if i'd ever have enough time to really dive into it. and i imagine you have to be incredibly creative too, right? coming up with a story for a tv show sounds practically impossible to me. i can talk for hours, throw around ideas and tell stories from my own life, but creating an entire world from scratch? i don't think so. we've had some amazing guests on the podcast, but you're definitely one of them, man. just accept the title because it's true, i'm not taking arguments at this time. thank you, i'll always help when i can. you can count on me anytime. season 5? hell yeah! i'm ready.

Hey if it's calling to you why not explore it, but timing is everything and yeah maybe things will one day slow down so that you can. And don't sell yourself short on the creative side. The fact that you can talk for hours, throw around ideas, and pull from your own life? That is literally 90% of what a writer's room is. Nobody actually creates a whole world completely from scratch by themselves; it all starts with those little bubble ideas and flows from there. I had literally nothing till ted and I wrote it on a push from my ex with three of my best friends. That is incredibly kind of you, man, seriously. I’ll shut up and accept the title—no arguments here! It means a lot coming from you, especially since you guys host such a killer show. But hey, Season 5 is officially locked, loaded, and ready to rollout.

do you have a favorite fan interaction that you think about often that makes you smile? i can only imagine how hard that might be but those type of interactions are always so wholesome. plus i am here to hear some positivity. @jcsonsudeikis

Oh gosh I do. This woman who was affected by the same condition as my mom previously was, so you know that puts you at a weepy space already...but she came up to me and said Ted saved her life. I usually give a quirky 'me too' back but this time I had to fight back tears. Everytime we do Big Slick softball games and visit the kids in the hospital who the charity is for, same feeling. It is such a honor and privilege to effect someone's life like that.
