We're back with Jason Sudeikis, and he
is the star of the Apple TV show, Ted Lasso.
Yes.
So Ted Lasso, very funny.
And you created it, you star in it.
Tell everyone what it's about.
Yeah, basically I play a small-time American college
football coach who gets hired to coach a professional soccer
team in England, in London.
And yeah.
He doesn't know anything about the game.
He travels with his one buddy, his assistant coach,
Coach Beard, right there.
The fellow, believe it or not, with the beard.
And yeah.
He's a fish out of water and he doesn't
know how to swim or walk.
It's very funny.
Thank you.
Very funny.
And it's picked up for a second season already.
Congratulations.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
So you give pep talks, and so we thought
that you would be able to give pep talks to people here
who need some help.
And so Karen Carnegie-- where's Karen Carnegie?
Raise your hand.
Here we go.
There.
Here, let me-- all right.
Karen?
Karen is it?
Yes, Karen.
Excuse me, my tail.
Hi, Karen.
How you doing?
I'm doing great.
You're gonna have to speak into the mic.
[LAUGHTER]
Here you go, up here.
Here you go.
All right, all right.
What is your-- what is-- what do you need a pep talk for, K-Dog?
Well, you know, I'm retired, and I love my wavy waterbed.
Right.
And it's that morning time, when to get up and out of bed,
it's hard.
Yeah.
Motivate me, please.
OK.
I'm living the dream, but it shouldn't include
sleeping until noon every day.
OK.
Right there-- right there.
Time is an illusion, Karen.
You know what I mean?
You sleeping till noon--
what I used to say to my folks when
I would sleep till noon as a teenager,
or as a community college dropout,
is I would just remind my mom and dad--
whose home I was living in.
I assume you don't live with your folks.
No.
OK, yeah.
Or my folks.
No.
Definitely no.
That I would--
I would've said we would've met by now.
But I would just remind them, I went to bed at 5:00 AM.
You know?
Get off my case.
So whoever the little mom and dad on your shoulder
is that is telling you that sleeping till noon is bad,
you don't listen to those people anymore.
You only listen to the sheep you count,
and the angels that sprinkle sleep fairy dust in your eyes
while you're-- while you're nodding off.
How about that?
All right.
Love it, thank you.
And then we have Jamie Brennan.
Where's Jamie Brennan?
Raise your hand.
Jamie?
Oh, hey!
There's Jamie.
Hey.
Hi, Jamie.
How you doing?
She's in the dark.
Hi, I'm great.
How are you?
It's nighttime where she is.
I'm sorry.
It's not-- I'm in front of a huge window
and it's still so dark.
Sorry.
Where-- I mean, what part of the world are you in?
I am from Montezuma, Iowa.
It's dark there now.
Yeah, Montezuma--
It is.
Montezuma, Iowa.
Lovely.
And what you need a pep talk on?
OK.
So I've been working at home since the pandemic,
since March.
Yep.
And I have no idea how to talk to people
outside of my house now.
I am so awkward, and I need some assistance with that.
Yeah.
Your social skills have atrophied.
Yes, major.
Yeah, well turning some lights on might help.
[LAUGHTER]
You know what I mean?
It just-- it makes things less scary.
That's one thing I'd say.
But you know what-- you know what--
you know what I would do?
This what I would do.
I would-- do would you have a favorite movie?
Drop Dead Fred.
Drop-- OK, great.
Drop Dead Fred, excellent.
[LAUGHTER]
You might be in bad shape once we get to talking people again,
you know.
It's like, this is gonna be tough.
But that's good.
That's OK.
No, this is fine because all you gotta
do is watch the movie with the remote control in your hand,
all right, when Fred--
I assume is a character in the film, I've never seen it--
but when Fred--
I know, I apologize.
I'll get on it right after this, trust me.
That you listen Fred speak, you mute it,
then you respond however you see fit.
Don't say the lines from the movie.
Then un-mute it when Fred speaks.
And then just get into that, and you'll
get back in the habit of hitting the ball back and forth.
How's that sound?
That's a-- yeah, that sounds great.
Yeah?
I'll try that, yeah.
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
Oh, absolutely, yeah.
You've really-- you've done it.
The season finale of Ted Lasso is available Friday
on Apple TV Plus.
And we'll be right back.
Jason Sudeikis, everybody.
