Big Case of Imposter Syndrome

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.

Good - because I only do things with the best of intentions. I was blessed with this face that can clearly get, or keep, me out of trouble. I am glad you're not mad at me though, having Jason Sudeikis mad at you is NOT a flex I want to have in 2026 or ever so yeah. Actually no. Believe it or not I have never been that big of a fan of Winnie the Pooh so I went with a woodland creature/foresty vibes - lots of greens and browns, some blues. Its also got Ewoks and is modeled after Endor because of my love for Star Wars. I swear its cute, trust the vision. My god, where has the time gone? I can't believe they are already that age. I am ready for them to be here but also, I'm not ready for that part. The getting older part terrifies me. And no, not a shoe but I did chuck a water bottle (empty) at my ex.

And look perpetually refreshed no matter your physical age. Im trying to give you a compliment on your face without being either version of weird about it. Well according to the press this year I get mad easily and intentionally not give birthday presents so, I think you the sole sailor in that boat dear. I love that trust the vision is the official motto for mixing Endor, Ewoks, and a generic woodland palette. Honestly? Think the death star needs a little cameo in this forest of yours, be perfect. And hey, I completely get the whiplash of looking at how fast time is flying. It’s a massive trip. One minute you're just cruising along, and the next, you're staring at a milestone that makes you go, Wait, you couldn't do that yesterday. Well welcome to me reminding you about the worst part. Wait what he do?

i've noticed something lately. whenever people talk about comfort shows, ted lasso still seems to come up almost immediately. feels like that's a pretty rare thing to achieve, especially with how much television there is now. it's obviously struck a chord with a lot of people. @jcsonsudeikis

I dont want to be cocky in sounding like we are the only one to accomplish this but definitely think we hit the right time you know? I think timing and first impressions of something matter and I think not only cause of the writing or acting but also that we have found a way into people's hearts

"ted lasso" helped keep me in good spirits when i was tired on the tour bus. not so much the football element of it all, but the comedy? the drama? unmatched. do you play any football yourself? or didn't you ever learn, since you're american and all? [ @jcsonsudeikis ]

I love hearing these stories, never gets old hearing how it influenced others. I will say me too a lot of times, not on tour but you get it. Since I am american and all. No in high school and college I was much more a basketball guy. I didnt get into soccer till I actually met Coach beard in real life through our comedian tour company we were a part of. I know huge disappointment but I have been rocking and learning for it since the first Ted commercial

it's been since 2017 that we worked together, my friend, which means we're due to work together again. i'm not saying you have to put me in ted lasso or anything, but i could maybe play a good part in ted lasso, just in case that's what you were thinking. i could play like an asshole coach if you want me to, because people say i need to play more mean roles. // @jcsonsudeikis

Think that means we are dangerously overdue for another collab. Sorry I just said that like how my kids do. And look, far be it from me to read between the lines, but it sounds like you’ve really got your mind set on being a part of Ted? I mean, the contrast alone would be brilliant. There is nothing more terrifying than someone who is usually lovely suddenly tapping into their inner menace. We are fixing this hiatus either way. How have you been?

That decade was a very long decade, mate, everybody agrees that 2003 felt completely differently to 2009. Definitely felt like a whole different decade. If I was trying to butter you up, you'd know. I'd get out my guitar and start serenading you.

Rub it in a little more. I shouldnt sound like a jerk a lot of people would pay really good money for that serenade. Even though as your friend I wanted to be a little shit in that moment
