Ted Lasso S3E1: It's Just Poopeh, Let It Flow Jun 21, 2023

Welcome back to the Dogtrack, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation about Season 3, Episode 1: Smells Like Mean Spirit.
The first episode of season three is a bit of a subdued number that sets the table for the show's brilliant and emotional third act. We chat about our expectations going into season three, where we find our favorite characters at the beginning of this season, and relish the fact that there is so much soccer stuff to nerd out about in this episode and this season.
Additionally, we appreciate how much Hannah Waddingham is filmed eating, note the differences between U.S. and British referential humor, wax philosophical on some Goethe, and share our thoughts on the musical choices and placements in this episode.
And, just as a general rule, you can expect our episodes this season to be a skosh longer than usual. What can we say? The TV show got longer. So did our podcast.

Trusting Ted Lasso to Stick the Landing (with Alex McDaniel) May 27, 2023

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with sports journalist Alex McDaniel about their shared trust in the show's creators to end the series well.
Alex is the Managing Editor at USA Today’s For The Win - a social news hub that focuses on sports and entertainment. Of course, Alex is also a huge, huge fan of Ted Lasso, too. She’s written about Ted Lasso at For The Win, and had the opportunity to interview principal cast members for the site.
Alex co-hosts Ted Lasso-centered episodes for the Big Screen Sports podcast. She also happens to be one of our favorite Twitter follows, and as such is the primary reason we have a working knowledge of news emanating from the University of Mississippi athletic department.
We chatted with Alex about our shared love for the show, which led to some fun side conversations about Alex's Ted Lasso-themed Animal Crossing Island, her involvement in a formal press junket with the stars of the show, and how she's trusting the Ted Lasso team to land the plane as season three draws to a close.

Julie is a Canadian journalist who has predominantly covered soccer and hockey for Fubo Sports, ESPN, CBS and Fox Sports. She’s what one might call ubiquitous in the sports reporting world. And she’s also hilarious, as anyone who follows her on twitter knows well.
Of course, Julie's also a massive fan of Ted Lasso, too. So we invited her on the show to chat about her love of the show as well as her work covering major sporting events like the Women's World Cup and the Stanley Cup Finals. We also ask how survived a close encounter with the stars of our favorite show at a recent Sirius XM media event and speculate about a duet betwen some of our favorite characters.

A Guide to Midwestern Conversation (with Taylor Kay Philips) May 09, 2023

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation about Ted Lasso and the midwest's unique conversational style with author and comedy writer Taylor Kay Philips.
Taylor currently writes for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO, and her work has also appeared in publications like the The New Yorker and McSweeney’s. (Note: as of this publication, the 2023 WGA labor union strike, which affects Taylor and her colleagues, is ongoing. We support the WGA in their ongoing negotiations with the AMPTP.)
And though she currently lives and works in the New York City, Taylor originally hails from the Barbecue Capital of the World, Kansas City, and is a true midwesterner at heart! She loves the midwest so much, in fact, that she wrote a book called A Guide to Midwestern Conversation, which is a hilarious and heartfelt homage to the the midwest’s particular brand of communication.
Of course, Taylor’s a massive fan of Ted Lasso, too. So we invited her on the show to chat about Ted’s midwestern mannerisms, the unique culture and charm of Kansas City, and what it was like to be in attendance at the 2022 Emmy Awards Ceremony as the Ted Lasso cast and crew collected multiple awards.
Finally, let this serve as your official spoiler alert, as there is some light discussion of Ted Lasso plot points up through the third episode of season 3.

Welcome to Schmicago! (with Cinco Paul) Apr 13, 2023

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation with Cinco Paul, the co-creator, executive producer, songwriter, and showrunner of Schmigadoon.
In addition to Schmigadoon, Cinco Paul is also known for his work as a screenwriter for beloved films like Horton Hears a Who, The Lorax, The Secret Life of Pets, and the Despicable Me trilogy – all of which he worked on with his longtime friend and collaborator Ken Daurio.
For the uninitiated, Schmigadoon is a musical comedy television series that centers on the relationship of two NYC doctors, Josh and Melissa – played by Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong, respectively. The show is a brilliant love letter to musical theater which also cleverly parodies many of the genre’s most recognizable features through hilarious and heartfelt performances from the A-list cast of musical theatre stars.
We here at Richmond Til We Die are huge fans of Schmigadoon. Luckily, Cinco’s a big fan of Ted Lasso too, and so we were thrilled to have an opportunity to chat with the man who helped create another one of our favorite shows!
And this is your official warning - there are some light spoilers for the first four episodes of Ted Lasso’s third season as well the first three episodes of Schmigadoon’s second season in this episode.

In Memory of Grant Wahl (with Eric Wahl & Julie Stewart-Binks) Apr 11, 2023

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett remember Grant Wahl's legacy in a conversation with his brother, Eric Wahl.
The fourth episode of Ted Lasso's third season is dedicated to sports journalist Grant Wahl, who died suddenly and unexpectedly while covering the 2022 Men's World Cup in Qatar, and his tragic passing left the soccer community in the United States in a state of shock and sadness. In this conversation, Grant's brother Eric shares some personal anecdotes about their relationship, discusses Grant's legacy in the world of soccer journalism, explains what it means to him to have an episode of the show dedicated to his brother, and shares about the incredible outpouring of support he and Grant's wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, have received since Grant's untimely death.
Grant was a massive fan of Ted Lasso, and it's safe to say that Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt were fans of his as well. After learning of Grant's passing, the creators of the show decided to dedicate an episode of the third season to his memory and legacy.
At the end of the episode, we've also included some closing comments from sports journalist Julie Stewart-Binks, who was a longtime friend and former colleague of Grant's. We had a full conversation with Julie about Ted Lasso and her work, which we'll release in the coming weeks. But we wanted to include her comments about Grant in this episode.
And finally, let this serve as your official spoiler alert. If you have not yet watched Season 3, Episode 4 of Ted Lasso, you might wanna pause this episode now and catch up. We promise we’ll be here waiting when y’all come back.

Tackling Homophobia in Football (with Lou Englefield) Apr 04, 2023

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with sports activist and Ted Lasso fan Lou Englefield!
Currently, Lou serves as the Director of Pride Sports UK, the Campaign Director of Football v Homophobia, the Co-Chair of Pride House International, and a board member of the Fare Network.
We connected with Lou on Twitter through her work with the organization Football vs Homophobia, which is an international initiative opposing homophobia in football (aka soccer). FvH tackles this issue at all levels of the game, all around the world, in creative ways that both support queer and trans folks while also educating and empowering others to be confident and effective allies.
Of course, Lou’s a big fan of Ted Lasso, too. So we invited her on our show to chat about Ted and AFC Richmond squad, the work she does as a sports activist, and the representation of queer characters on Ted Lasso generally as well as the newly-cemented status of Colin as a queer character specifically.
And finally, let this serve as your official spoiler alert. If you have not yet watched Season 3, Episode 3 of Ted Lasso, you might wanna pause this episode now and catch up. We promise we’ll be here waiting when y’all come back.

Maximilian Osinski • Zava on Ted Lasso Mar 31, 2023

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation with the man behind the myth behind the Zava – Maximilian Osinski!
We chatted with Max about how he came to be involved with Ted Lasso and asked him questions about Zava's persona, his wardrobe, and how Max was able to embody such a mysterious and enigmatic character. We also discussed the similarities between Zava and other iconic footballers like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo, and Eric Cantona.
For you Marvel fans, we also got into a bit of Max's experience playing Agent Davis in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. And, as an added bonus, we heard the story of Max's Polish folk-dancing performance for Pope John Paul II when he was a teenager. Trust us, this is one y'all don't want to miss!
For those of you who aren't caught up on season 3 of Ted Lasso - this is your official spoiler alert, as there are some light spoilers (about episodes that have already aired) contained within this episode.

Jimmy hung up his cleats in 2011, but has continued his career in sports media as a host and analyst since then. Currently, he co-hosts the CBS Sports podcast In Soccer We Trust alongside his pals (and former Men’s National Teamers) Charlie Davies and Heath Pearce.
In addition to his hosting duties, Jimmy oversees a production company called Radical Creative Group as well as the ever-growing community of do-gooders known simply as the “Warmballers.” He also currently serves as the Sporting Director for the San Francisco Glens Soccer Club.
Of course, Jimmy’s a massive fan of Ted Lasso, too. So we invited him on the show to talk about Ted, Jose Mourinho, Zlatan, MLS, the US National Team, warm balls, and lots, lots more.

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation about Ted Lasso and college basketball with author and journalist Eric Garcia!

Eric is also the author of a book titled We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation, which was released back in August 2021.

In addition to his work in political reporting and writing, Eric is a huge fan of Ted Lasso and UNC basketball - which is how we connected with him on Twitter. So, we invited him on to chat about college basketball and Ted Lasso - particularly the parallels between Ted’s character and the real-life, iconic men’s college basketball coaches Dean Smith and Roy Williams.

What You Discover When Creativity Is Gone (with Marylee Fairbanks) Mar 21, 2023

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa and Brett have a conversation about Ted Lasso and musical theatre with Marylee Fairbanks.

In addition to her work on stage, Marylee is the co-producer and co-host of the Stages Podcast alongside her longtime friend and Broadway star Stephanie J. Block, who has starred in megahits like Wicked, The Cher Show, and Into the Woods.
Given her subject-matter expertise, we invited Marylee on the show to chat about Ted Lasso and musical theatre. We also talked a lot about how Ted Lasso the show fosters connection, community, and empathy in ways that mirror many classics of the musical theatre genre and how creativity is still absolutely necessary – even in times of seeming scarcity.

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In our spoiler-free "Season 3 Preview-in-air-quotes" Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation about some of the key information for fans to bear in mind as we head into Season 3 of Ted Lasso!
Marisa has all but run out of patience. Brett is an emotional wreck. Christian is... aroused??? All that can only mean one thing: the third season of our beloved show Ted Lasso is coming soon!
In this episode, we chat about the official pieces of marketing and media that have been released by Apple and the Ted Lasso team in advance of the premier, and we recap the facts and figures that even casual Ted Lasso fans need to know before commencing their season 3 journey.
We also highlight some of the key plot points that we expect this third installment to address and/or resolve while simultaneously trying (and Brett definitely failing) to refrain from spending too much energy hypothesizing about what lies in store.

How to Put Belief Back Together Once You've Torn It Apart (with Diana Butler Bass) Mar 08, 2023

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with Diana Butler Bass.
Diana Butler Bass is an independent scholar with a specialty in American ecclesiastical history who writes on American religion and culture. She is the author of eleven books, many of which have won research or writing awards.
As an award-winning author, popular speaker, inspiring preacher, and one of America’s most sought-after commentators on religion and contemporary spirituality, Dr. Butler Bass' work has appeared in many prominent publications and media outlets including: The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The Atlantic, USA Today, Huffington Post, NPR, TIME, the Rolling Stone, and honestly, pretty much everywhere else too.
We have been fans of Dr. Bass' work for years, and were excited to learn that she was a fellow Ted Lasso fan when we read a Ted Lasso essay she published in her online newsletter, The Cottage. In this particular reflection she wrote about how her favorite character in Ted Lasso is the "Believe Sign," which is linked in the show notes on our website.
We chatted about hope, belief, community, found family, and whether it's possible to tape our beliefs back together after they are ripped apart. The conversation doesn't get too "churchy," but we do go deep on the inherent spirituality that manifests in a community with a shared meaning and purpose. It's a wonderful conversation, and we hope y'all enjoy the episode!

Ted Lasso S2E12: You Gotta Follow Your Bliss, Right? Mar 03, 2023

Welcome back to the Dogtrack, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation about Season 2, Episode 12: Inverting the Pyramid of Success.
The final episode of season two crams in so many story lines, there's no way we could possibly devote enough enough attention to them all in one episode. But we chat for a long time about the growth of our favorite characters (both positive and negative) and their status at the end of this show's brilliant middle act.
Fair warning, this conversation is a long one. We get into Nate's scary-similar path to Jose Mourinho, talk "Yankee and the Brave" and Run The Jewels 4, dispel some rumors about Jason Sudeikis and Ed Helms, pour one out for Richmond's old (fictional) kit sponsor, and admire Kathy Sudeikis' old-school business acumen. And there's definitely still stuff we missed.

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with John U. Bacon, who is a journalist and author of books on sports and business as well as a sports commentator on TV and radio.
We chatted with John about his book "Let Them Lead: Unexpected Lessons in Leadership from America's Worst High School Hockey Team" and really got into the Ted Lasso of it all. John's story about turning around his alma mater's flailing high school hockey team is a tale fit for anyone who is a fan of the show TED LASSO.
John's a fan of TED LASSO, too, and so we of course chatted about Ted's leadership philosophy and asked John a few questions pertaining to the show (including whether he thought Ted Lasso or Jim Harbaugh looked better in khakis).

Welcome back to the Dogtrack, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation about Season 2, Episode 11: Midnight Train to Royston
The penultimate episode of season two is fraught with tenuous relationship statuses: Roy and Keeley, Sam and Rebecca, Sharon and Ted, Keeley and... Nate??? So we have a long conversation about the looming tensions that seem to be dividing our beloved AFC Richmond family and what it might mean for the future of these characters who we care about so deeply.
Not to worry, though – we do have a bit of fun, as well. We talk about grown men learning choreography, praise the brilliant use of props in this episode, admire the staying power of "Seven Nation Army," and wonder whether we may have actually met the real-life Banksy in a museum?

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett preview the rapidly-approaching FIFA Men's World Cup!
We offer a brief explainer on the tournament - how it works and how nations qualify - before chatting a bit about the human rights disaster that this competition is already shaping up to be for host country Qatar, mostly due to gross corruption within organizing body FIFA.
But it's not all doom and gloom! We also take a quick look at all the squads that have connections to Ted Lasso, rate our favorite kits and jersey designs, and discuss the impact that music continues to have upon this fabled competition.

This episode is one of our absolute favorites of the entire series! As we navigate both the hilarity and the heaviness of this episode, we discuss the weirdness of funerals, the end of Sam and Rebecca's relationship, and the respective breakdowns and breakthroughs of Ted and Rebecca.
We also talk a bit about shoes (the expensive and the uncomfortable), the awkwardness of grief, the cultural staying power of the almighty Rick Roll, and the masterful music choices in this episode.

She also details her experience as a gay African-American woman making strides and spearheading change in a sport that was at the time predominately-white, predominately-suburban sport.
In our conversation with Briana, we discussed her story and got into many of the themes of the book, including perseverance, mental health, and, ultimately – hope (be advised that there is some discussion of suicidal ideation in this episode). We also chatted about some of the similarities between her high school soccer coach and Ted Lasso. And Briana revealed which of her soccer-playing friends she'd most like to see make a cameo appearance on the show!
Pick up Briana's incredible book (or download the audiobook), MY GREATEST SAVE, wherever you buy such things. We can't recommend it highly enough.

Ted Lasso S2E9: Reason Is Powerless in the Expression of Love Sep 07, 2022

WE'RE BACK ON THE DOGTRACK, GREYHOUNDS! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation about Season 2, Episode 9: Beard After Hours.
As we make our way through this absurd episode of Ted Lasso, we talk about the major differences in tone, style, and aesthetic between this offering and every other installment of this incredible show.
Our discussion brought up a few interesting questions, like: what (if anything) do creators owe fans of their work (if anything), and how charitable should fans be when presented with art that contrasts from a creator's usual offering?
The three of us each had different reactions to this admittedly divisive episode, but our conversation helped us to mine a few luminous gems from the general darkness of the late-night Beard saga.
We also took some time to examine what we learned about the character of Beard in this episode–particularly when it comes to his relationship with Jane and the things in his life which bring him meaning.
There was also a record-amount of music used in this episode, and we know it goes without saying, but we definitely took some time to discuss a bunch of the needle drops as well.

LGBT+ Inclusion in Sports Media (with Jon Holmes) Jun 14, 2022

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with journalist Jon Holmes. Jon is the founder of Sports Media LGBT+, an organization that advocates for inclusion in media and journalism specifically, and sports in general.
Jon is an experienced journalist and writer, and for many years led Sky Sports’ support for Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign. He launched Sports Media LGBT+ in August 2017 with the idea to harness the power of media and journalism in order to advocate for and amplify the voices of athletes, coaches, officials, administrators, and all others involved in sport who are LGBT+.
In our conversation with Jon, we discussed the origins of Sports Media LGBT+, inclusion in sports media, supporters groups, and football clubs in general, as well as the recent coverage of 17-year-old Jake Daniels, the Blackpool FC midfielder who became the UK’s first active male professional footballer to come out publicly as gay in May 2022.
Of course, Jon is also a fan of Ted Lasso, so we took some time to chat with him about his love for the show, its lack of representation when it comes to gay and queer characters, and the ways in which Ted Lasso (the show and the character) helps to address and dismantle toxic masculinity in sport.

A Pro Footballer on the Set of Ted Lasso (with Eniola Aluko) May 31, 2022

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa and Christian have a conversation with former England National Team player and current Sporting Director of Angel City FC, Eniola Aluko!
Ted Lasso fans may also recognize Eniola from her brief cameo appearance on the show in Season 2, Episode 5: "Rainbow." Eniola appears as a player in the scene where Roy and Ted encourage Isaac to participate in a pickup football match to help him find his joy in the game again.
Of course, it didn't take much acting for Eniola to look like one of the best players on the pitch. Though she recently retired from playing professionally, Eniola played for some of the biggest clubs in the world including the England & Great Britain National Teams, Chelsea, and Juventus. Post-retirement, she has worked as a television commentator and football executive, and is currently the Sporting Director of NWSL club Angel City FC in Los Angeles, California.
We chatted with Eniola about her experience on the Ted Lasso set, her career in professional football, and the incredible start that Angel City FC have experienced during their inaugural season in the National Women's Soccer League.

Welcome back to the Dogtrack, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have part one of a two-part conversation about part Season 2, Episode 8: Man City.
Yes, you read that right – so much happened in this episode that we thought it would be best to split up our conversation into two parts so that we could be sure to cover everything.
We spend some time appreciating the visuals and the music in the magnificent haircut scene, talk a lot about fathers and sons (so tricky – they should really write songs about it), and discuss the development of two awkward-but-sweet relationships in this episode: one platonic (Ted & Sharon), and one romantic (Rebecca & Sam).
We also marvel at that AMAZING Wizard of Oz themed pinball machine, put some respect on Dr. Sharon's vocal prowess, and recognize that there ain't no policy like a hospital policy, 'cuz a hospital policy don't stop.

Breaking Down the Ted Lasso Soundtrack (with Charlie Harding) May 17, 2022

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Brett visits with Charlie Harding, host of Switched On Pop, as they discuss the incredible Ted Lasso Soundtrack.
Since Charlie has spent a lot of time thinking about pop music, we thought he’d be the perfect guest to help us figure out why the Ted Lasso soundtrack works with the on-screen action so darn well.
Charlie is a songwriter, music producer, author, music journalist, and the host of Switched On Pop. On their podcast Charlie and his co-host, musicologist Nate Sloan, explore the making and meaning of popular music.
In this episode, Brett and Charlie take some time to appreciate the incredible work done by the music supervision team in the series by examining several songs and their placement in the show.
Charlie also shares how he nearly (literally) bumped into Jason Sudeikis, pitches a song for next season's soundtrack, and speculates as to which American pop star could make a cameo in Ted Lasso's third season.

AJ Catoline • Editor on Ted Lasso May 10, 2022

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with Ted Lasso's emmy-winning editor, AJ Catoline.
AJ and his counterpart Melissa McCoy are responsible for compiling the final edits of each Ted Lasso episode – AJ edits the even-numbered episodes while Melissa edits the odd-numbered ones. AJ's work on Season 1 Episode 10: The Hope That Kills You was recognized with an Emmy win in 2021 for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series. And AJ has also worked on a lot of shows we personally enjoy, such as Brockmire, Black Jesus, Flavor of Love and The Standups.
In our conversation with AJ, he walks us through the editing process - also sometimes known as the "final re-write." We get into the editing choices for Ted's panic attack sequences, the jaw-dropping amount of visual effects that are seamlessly woven into the show, and ask AJ the most important question of all: When will we get a Ted Lasso blooper/outtakes reel?!

We talk about the stress of Ted's professional therapeutic relationship with Dr. Sharon, the miscommunication between Keeley and Roy as they navigate their romantic relationship, and the unhealthy relationship Nate has with his father, his players, and social media.
But it's not all bad! We also appreciate the wisdom of Higgins (and his pipe!), stake our claim on the origins of couples' jazz scatting, marvel at Beard's mastery of disapparition, and applaud Roy's skills in the department of playlist curation. Plus, Christian helps us understand both the significance of that Sex and the City scene and the cultural event of being "dunked on."

In the book, Bennett traces the origins of his love affair with America, and how he went from a depraved, pimply faced Jewish boy in 1980’s Liverpool to become the quintessential Englishman in New York.

She is a renowned teacher and theologian, the founder of the House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, Colorado, as well as a three-time New York Times bestselling author.
Once we began to notice all the spiritual imagery and high church references in Ted Lasso's second season, we knew we needed to have somebody on to discuss it all. We were so incredibly privileged to be joined by a someone as gracious and perceptive as Pastor Nadia, who is a door-opener rather than a gatekeeper when it comes to church, religion, and spirituality. Plus, she's a huge Ted Lasso fan (and we have Brené Brown to thank for that!).
In addition to the show's religious imagery and high church jokes, we chatted with Nadia about the show's radical stance on grace and forgiveness, how fans can continue to love Nate, and why the show's tone and humor resonate with such a wide audience.

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds!
On this bonus episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with not just one - but two - amazing guests from the #MedLasso community - Dr. Mark Shapiro and Dr. Sayed Tatatabai! Dr. Shapiro is a full-time hospitalist in California and the creator and host of the Explore The Space Podcast, a show focused on bringing those who provide healthcare and those who seek healthcare closer together through conversations with leaders from across the spectrum. And Mark was recently the recipient of the “I Stand With Her #HeForShe” Award at The 2021 Women In Medicine Summit. Dr. Tabatabai, who was able to join us partway through the episode, is a Nephrology Specialist in San Antonio, Texas. Sayed spends some of his free time writing fiction on the internet (which has been featured on NPR';s Weekend Edition Sunday) and the rest of it portraying the role of Darth Vader for the Star Wars Society of San Antonio for various charitable causes. Dr. Tabatabai regularly teams up with Dr. Shapiro on the Explore the Space podcast to talk about Ted Lasso. Together they started the #MedLasso hashtag on twitter, which has now become a virtual gathering place for medical professionals to bond over the show online.
In our conversation with Mark and Sayed, we discussed some of their experiences with the show, the #MedLasso community, and the experience of pandemic medicine. We asked Mark how he came up with the idea of integrating Ted Lasso into his work on Explore the Space and chatted with Sayed about his fiction writing as a creative outlet. We talked about Robin Williams, the television show Scrubs, and the way the show champions the idea of "aspirational masculinity." We also wondered what Ted Lasso's specialization would be if he were a physician.

In our conversation with Gwenda, we discuss the hallmarks of the rom-com genre, the ways in which the show adheres to and subverts rom-com conventions, and point out our favorite references in the "Rainbow" episode of Ted Lasso season 2.
