The Geekiness of Ted Lasso LIVE at Fan Expo St. Louis 2022 Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

Hello all you Lasso fans! We are back with another episode of the show, this one our first attempt at a live PB&B episode. We were invited to participate in Fan Expo St. Louis back in May, and we wanted to make sure we released our show from the creator stage to you. Being a Fan Expo, we thought what better way to talk about our beloved Ted than to mention all the ways the show plays to the geeky audience that might be out there. Our apologies if audio quality is not the best, we actually had some difficulties recording directly through their board. Hope you enjoy the show!

Show notes

Hello all you Lasso fans! Today we bring you something really special to celebrate the premier of Survivor Season 42. We sat down with a Survivor simulator called Brantsteele to simulate which Ted Lasso character would reign supreme over all others on the island.

Josh had his own Ted Lasso podcast as well as podcasts on many popular shows, like Better Call Saul. Part of the "Rob Has a Podcast" family, Josh is no stranger to Survivor having recorded a 300+ hour audio guide called The Evolution of Strategy about the game.

It is Brains vs. Brawns vs, Beauty in this 18 player matchup... Who will the tribe ultimately vote as sole survivor?
