BONUS: Reluctantly Charmed by Ted Lasso (with Nadia Bolz-Weber) Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this bonus episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation with influential pastor and theologian Nadia Bolz-Weber.
Nadia is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (and former stand-up comic) who realized her call to ministry during a moment of tragedy after the loss of a dear friend in the local Denver comedy community. 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.

Ted Lasso S2E5: You Had Me at Coach Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to the Dogtrack, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation about Season 2, Episode 5: Rainbow.
We discuss Ted's rom-communism method of overcoming the "Dark Forest," get a vibe check on some of the fathering relationships in season two, and then take quite a bit of time to ask ourselves, "what is going on with Nate?"
We also dive pretty deep into the song "She's A Rainbow" by the Rolling Stones, make a Rilke detour, and muse over the possibility of pita undergoing transubstantiation in a kebab restaurant.
As a reminder, we recorded a full episode with guest Gwenda Bond which focused on the rom-communism aspects of this episode. Find the link below.
And if you want to get more into the theological weeds of this episode (and others this season), we've got a special conversation with Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber that is forthcoming!
