Football is Life! - Watching "Ted Lasso"

Latest Episodes:

45: "Being Alive" (S4E10) Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

Season 4 is a wrap! Kathy, Chip, and Brian check in on our “Low Risk Prediction” list while recapping the final episode of the season. Yes, “Being Alive”, much like life, is a little messy, but we sure did grow attached to the new people we met along the way.

Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.

"When Death Comes" by Mary Oliver

The poem Mae reads at the end of the episode.

44: "Mae Rides the Bus" (S4E9) Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

In this penultimate episode of Season 4, we get quite the rollercoaster of emotions (Brian admits to crying at least 3 times); but, there’s plenty of reason to get excited, too. For one, our guest panelist, Erika Ensign, is back again! Join Chip, Erika, and Brian for the ride. In fact, why don’t you ride the bus with us to Ashton Gate to cheer on the Greyhounds?

Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Erika Ensign.

43: "Follow the Anger" (S4E8) Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

Episode 8 is chock full of injuries, intrigue, and investigations (and perhaps other “in-” words this blurb writer can’t think of at this late hour)! Higgins gets the tip to “follow the anger”, but Brian, Kathy, and Chip are certainly not angry today. Grab a high heel, break a window, and settle in for another episode of Football Is Life.

42: "Yes & Baby" (S4E7) Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

The team is back on the pitch, and Brian, Kathy, & Chip are reunited to discuss it. Whether it’s Beard’s eyes, Boots’ truck, Ted’s profile, or Roy’s knee (and heart!); everybody seems to be going through a little bit of something this week. So, we invite you to take a sip of some spicy cognac and say “yes” to listening to this episode of Football Is Life.

41: Don't Jump Around Much Anymore (S4E6) Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

It’s New Year’s Eve! Ted Lasso the Show commits possibly the best pre-titles sequence in its history. Ted Lasso the character commits to something new after a heart-to-heart. Alice Chilton commits to party clothes, eventually. Coach Beard commits a party foul. Roy Kent and a special guest star commit to an explosive bit that panelist Chip’s Roy Kent Blind Spot (TM) totally didn’t see coming. Panelist Kathy commits a shady no-shade, and returning panelist Erika commits the worst pun in Football is Life history.

Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell and Erika Ensign.

40: "Riches of Embarrassment" (S4E5) Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

Are you ready for some football? Football is Life is back and your friends Chip, Brian, and Kathy are excited to see some actual football in this show. The Greyhounds are up against Chelsea in the FA Cup, which is certainly exciting; but, there’s also a fair bit of quality time spent with the many relationships on the show. Tune in for some predictions from Chip and Kathy on where things might end up by the season’s end!

39: "Greyhounds' Day Off" (S4E4) Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

Episode 4 opens with some familiar and most welcome voices as we soon realize the team needs a common goal, a common enemy, or perhaps both! It’s a wild, funny, and somewhat comforting episode, and your pals Chip, Kathy, & Brian are here to discuss it. Hopefully nobody gets injured or arrested.

38: "Richmond's Got Talent" (S4E3) Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

While our coaching staff appears to be settled in and working well together, the Greyhounds need to find a striker, even if it means going to the streets. Meanwhile, Ted really has to learn to knock. If that doesn’t make sense to you, not to worry. Kathy, Chip, and Brian talk it through, but do watch the episode first.

37: "Curiouser and Curiouser!" (S4E2) Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

We’re back at Nelson Road, where some things have changed and some are exactly the same. Some familiar faces, some new faces, and some faces not there anymore. We start to get a peek into the challenges Ted and the gang will be up against this year, but as Chip, Kathy, and Brian are happy to say, it feels like we’re in good hands.
