Andrew Phelps leads off with a question, one he’s never spoken out loud before — “Am I creative?”

Oof, isn’t that a straight jab to the ol’ imposter syndrome funny bone? If you’re like us, you’ve grappled with this very question many times before (especially when you’re in the midst of a creative drought).

So this Friday, we’re talking about ideas — how we get them, how we keep them coming, and how anyone can come up with good ones if they put in the work.

Also, stay for the outtakes at the end. It’s possible we’ve never laughed harder in our lives?

NB: The Andrews are publishing biweekly for the summer season.
