This summer, I'm in London, performing in Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium. I'm playing King Herod, which is a role I have never imagined I'd ever get to say I was playing, but here we are, I'm having a lot of fun. What's interesting about being away for longer stretches of time is that after the excitement of the trip wears off, you start thinking about home, not in a homesick way, just in a practical way. You realize your home is sitting there empty while you're off having this incredible experience somewhere else.
That's what got me thinking about listing your space on Airbnb while you're away. Whether you're traveling for work, taking an extended vacation, or spending part of the summer somewhere else, it can be a great way to earn a little extra cash while you're gone. If the idea of hosting feels like a lot to manage, Airbnb's co-host network can help. You can partner with a local co-host who can take care of the day-to-day details for you like managing reservations, providing onsite support, or even helping to style your home so that it's even more enticing for guests. This kind of specialized help makes listing your home on Airbnb feel a lot more manageable. So if you've got summer plans or you're playing King Herod in London, this could be a great time to get started. Find a co-host at airbnb.com/host.
Sometimes we know something feels off, but it's hard to know what kind of help we actually need. Therapy can be incredibly valuable, but for some people, it isn't the whole answer. That's where talkiatry comes in. Talkiatry is a 100% online psychiatry practice that provides comprehensive evaluations, diagnosis, and ongoing medical management for conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and more. Unlike therapy-only platforms, talkiatry is psychiatry. You're seeing a medical provider who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication when it's appropriate. It's more than 800 clinicians except major insurers, so you can use your existing insurance instead of paying monthly subscriptions or out-of-network costs. You'll meet with a licensed psychiatrist who takes the time to understand what's going on, builds a personalized treatment plan, and supports you over time with consistent evidence-based care. Because you're continuing to see the same provider, you're not starting over every visit. Your treatment can evolve with you, so you're actually making progress over time.
Getting started takes just a few minutes. Complete a short online assessment, get matched with clinicians who fit your needs, and schedule your first visit in days, not months. More than 300,000 patients have already found high-quality psychiatric care through Talkiatry. Head to talkiatry.com/jtf to complete a short assessment and get matched with an in-network psychiatrist in just a few minutes. That's talkiatry.com/jtf to get matched in minutes. talkiatry.com/jtf.

Oh my God, well, at least my name gets clicks. At least they're talking about me. Thank God. Imagine if they were and I'd be doing a horrible job. And then I'd be more upset that they weren't talking about me.

This is Dinner's on Me and I'm your host, Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
Today, we're at Sogno Toscano Cafe in Santa Monica. It's this effortlessly cool Italian cafe and market that feels equal parts neighborhood hangout and celebrity lunch spot. The menu has everything you'd want for a long lunch, flaky pastries, truffle egg sandwiches, fresh focaccia, giant iced coffees, I'm eyeing a pomodoro. Sogno has this really great energy today. It's Memorial Day and it's a jazz band playing. And it seems like the perfect place to hang out and meet a new friend. I'm very excited to meet Jake. I think I've been in the vicinity of him a few times, but we've actually never met. So I'm very excited to hang out with him. All right, let's get to the conversation.

Here's the thing, is I love an Italian restaurant that sells Italian delicacies on the side.

**Jesse Tyler Ferguson** (4:15)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

**Jake Shane** (4:15)
Do you know what I mean?

**Jesse Tyler Ferguson** (4:16)
Like a little market attached?

**Jake Shane** (4:18)
Look, I love the market.

**Jesse Tyler Ferguson** (4:19)
Are you going to leave with some dry pastas?

**Jake Shane** (4:21)
I think I might. I think I might. It's my favorite thing. Thanks for having me. Thanks for coming.

Yes, but we didn't really talk. I'm super shy.
