It's the Lasso way around theseparts with Coach, coach and
Boss, without further ado, coachCastleton.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Okay, welcome back, beautiful people.
Today we are discussing TedLasso Season episode 12
inverting the pyramid of success.
This is part 7.
Part 7.
And it might be, this might beit, this might be it.
I am your host, coach CastletonWith me, as always, is Coach

(01:00):
Bishop.
We are going up, we are goingup.
And with us is our boss, EmilyChambers.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
It has nothing to do with Ted Lasso whatsoever, but
it is a fact that I learnedtoday that's continuing to blow
my mind.
Do you guys know who voices MrKrabs from SpongeBob SquarePants
?

Speaker 2 (01:22):
No idea, oh damn it.
I knew that, go ahead tell it.
I knew that, go ahead Tell me.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Fucking Clancy Brown.
Yes, yes, the weirdest thingfor me.
For those who are not familiar,clancy Brown is an extremely
prolific actor.
He was in Highlander.
He was the head guard in theShawshank Redemption.
He was in one episode of SleepyHollow which should have been

(01:46):
much better than the endingseasons of Sleepy Hollow were.
He is exactly, I should say,younger, younger Clancy Brown.
He's a bit old for me, butyounger Clancy Brown is exactly
the kind of Coach Beard, danielStern sort of kind of weird
looking but in a hot way typething.
Like pictures of young clancybrown for sure.

(02:08):
And it turns out themotherfucker has been on
spongebob's square pants allthese years.
I'm absolutely losing my mindover it.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
It's the wildest shit yeah, you would have you.
You would have me sitting hereguessing for the rest of time.
I mean, like what?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
that makes no sense he is a large seemingly he can
be a large intimidating man likehe.
He plays rough guys and here heis being a fucking crab near a
pineapple under the sea.
I I saw it on one of the socialmedias and I was like that,
that a joke.
It's past April Fools and Ifucking hate April Fools, so I

(02:48):
know it's not that.
And then it was real.
It's fucking bizarre.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
She really does hate April Fools folks.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
I fucking hate April Fools.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh wait, why Remind me?
Why?

Speaker 4 (03:02):
It's going to make you sad.
I'm going to go ahead and tellall of our Listeners I just out
of principle, why it's going tomake you sad.
I'm going to go ahead and tellall of our listeners I just out
of principle, I hate it.
That is not the purpose oflying.
People do it poorly.
Pranks are stupid.
There is nothing about theholiday itself that I care for.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
It is a day where people lie inorder not to get things or make

(03:25):
themselves sound good, but justso that somebody thinks
something for a second beforeyou reveal to them the truth.
It's the stupidest fuckingthing.
But, what coach was talkingabout is that one of our mutual
buddies sent me a Christmas cardwhen I was back in my old place
, the studio apartment, which Ididn't decorate at all.
I decorated not, I put nothings on the wall.

(03:45):
I did hang his Christmas cardwith him and his wife and their
beautiful child on myrefrigerator with a magnet.
And then when I was leaving,when I was moving out, I took a
picture, I texted him, Iexplained that he was the only
decoration in my apartment andthen a few days later he texted
back.
I just noticed this, but I'malso realizing the day you sent

(04:10):
it and maybe I shouldn't believeit and that's when I realized I
had sent it on April 1st and Iwrote back hey, buddy, my dad
killed himself on February 14thand Valentine's is still only my
second least favorite holiday.
I do not fuck with April Foolsand I stand by all of that.

(04:33):
I fucking mean it.
I hate April Fools.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
It's terrible.
I am as awestruck this time asI was last time.
I mean God damn.
Struck this time as I was lasttime.
I mean God damn.
I mean there's so many levels,the fact that that's true, the
fact that you are able toarticulate it yes, in such a

(04:58):
pithy powerful manner.
That's what I go for.
There's a lot there, man, and Ilove it.
Next time I hope we bump intosomebody else who don't know
that story.
That is just great.
That is just great.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
I really mean it.
I fucking hate April Fools, butanyway, clancy Brown, good
looking.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
I'm scrolling through Clancy Brown's filmography here
and it's I mean just on firstglance it's, it's going to be
close.
Uh, he's done so much voicework that it might outnumber
like clone wars um lego batman.

(05:40):
Obviously, you know, like kungfu, panda, pound puppies,
spongebob wander over yonder,doom patrol these are all
animated robot chicken.
Uh, I'm like family guy.
He was on the last airbenderrick and morty last year.
But yeah, I'm just like, oh mygod, sheriff callie's wild west

(06:01):
um pickle and peanut.
I'm just like, god damn, Icannot believe how much work.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
I knew he was in everything, constantly working.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Everybody knows him as Captain Hadley from.
Shawshank Redemption Shawshankright, or the Kurgan from
Highland.
He's been in them.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
And also to my discredit I just said attractive
when he was younger.
I should mention I did see somestills.
I didn't watch the newest StarWars show, oh shit, Ahsoka yes,
he was in that.
Didn't look bad in that either.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I mean, come on, I can't pretend that I know, I
would say no.
All right, there's a yeah, no,yeah, listen, he's a.
He's a talented son of a gun.
Start tales of the jedi.
I mentioned tales of the sithcoming out in just a few days.
Now may the fourth.

(06:56):
Um, everyone should watch,anyway, if you're a star wars
fan.
Tales of the jedi, uh isoutstanding.
Um, okay, let us jump into tedlasso.
When we, when we left and natehad ripped up the sign that guys
were cheering, we know we are,we're sure we are.
And then higgy baby comes inand sort of flags down sam in

(07:19):
the corner and I'm like you know, can we, can I just enjoy?
My'm like why is he gettingpulled out?
Oh yeah, oh right, business isbusiness, right now.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Business baby.
I hate the world.
There's a billionaire waitingon you.
You know they're going to comeget you.
Yeah, make him wait.
There's a lot of that going onin the world.
People just tell thembillionaires, hold your horses
there should be.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, I'm gonna say there's a lot more of it well,
the recent layoffs at teslasomebody should have said it but
there you go.
Yeah, billionaires do hirepeople to hold their horses for
them, so they don't have toworry about it too much that
part I mean, are we thinkingthat billionaires if you take
the whole cross-section ofbillionaires and put it up

(08:09):
against the cross-section ofsociety, that billionaires are
better?

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Wait, what Well they have more money.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
so no, no, no.
I'm talking like, just likethey're Whatever, Just to get to
be.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
We treat them better, does that make them somehow
intrinsically or inherentlybetter.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
No, but that doesn't have anything to do with.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, I mean, who's a better person?
Sam obisanya, who is not abillionaire, or yeah, but edwin
acufo, by what measure that?

Speaker 3 (08:39):
that's the trouble we always run into and in what
language?

Speaker 2 (08:41):
language and by what method?
In what religion?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
And I mean, I would argue that the bigger issue is
that, in the US at least, whatwe do is say these specific
characteristics make you a quoteunquote good person.
And I say that because I'm notinto this vibes based sort of
morality where it's like, ohwell, they seem really nice.
Therefore I think that they'rea good person.

(09:06):
It's like, well, what did youdo, what did you do today to be
a good person?
In which way did you improvethings?
Or in which way did you staythe fuck out of everybody else's
way so you didn't make thingsworse for them?
So, good is a hard thing todefine.
The things that we say make youa good person, do not make you
a billionaire Although, thens,society also exalts billionaires

(09:27):
, because we're all fucked up inalmost every conceivable way.
Billionaires are statisticallymore likely to be sociopaths and
to actually have, uh, sadistictendencies, like they are more
likely to be willing to hurtother people than your average
person.
And we, we say that's what I'msaying, so make them wait.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
No, but that's not how it works, sir.
No one makes a billionaire waitfor anything.
I'm trying to think of anexample of somebody making a
billionaire wait for something.
I'm actually right now activelytrying to think about that.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
And I can't think of a single time of jelena's
friends was dating a billionaireand I have had cobb salads with
more personality than this guy.
Yeah, um, and I'm just like Idon't.
And everybody tiptoes aroundhim and you know what I mean.
I was like, oh my god, like Imade him wait, I made him wait,

(10:26):
I'm gonna.
That's my new rule.
If I meet a billionaire,they're gonna fucking wait.
I'll tell you right now, coach,I'm doing it every single time.
I haven't met a billionaire oflike.
I've met a few of them.
I met one, two, I met fourbillionaires in my life I said
and it's not that it's notwhatever, it doesn't.
You know what, like I've onlylike talked to three of them one

(10:48):
it was just like a handshake,but still like none of them were
that impressive at all at all Iusually, usually.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
I know that you and I don't see exactly eye to eye in
this stuff, but I actually 100agree with you and, in
solidarity, the next time that Imeet a thousandaire, I'm just
gonna make them wait because youknow what.
No, no, no, I like that.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
They're probably no, no, they're probably lovely
people.
Hundredaires, hundredaires aremy people I'm.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
I mean, there's no fucking way I'm meeting a
billionaire.
There is no.
There is no world in which I ammeeting a billionaire.
It's not gonna happen.
If I meet a millionaire and Idon't even know, uh, I don't
know if I would know thatthey're a millionaire, I'd
probably treat them like shit.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
But that's just how I do general, just just copy that
yeah, yeah, yeah, no, yeah,well, um yeah I don't know
listen I was trying to thinklike, how do I know?
How have I met so manybillionaires?
It's not, I'm not wealthy.
So one of them was through,like when I, when I went to

(11:53):
college I'm sorry, when I wentto, I got, went to private
schools because I had a sportsscholarship and and then also
like an academic scholarship,and so, you know, I went to some
schools that we probablycouldn't afford at the time and
a lot of the kids of thosepeople you know have their names
on buildings and stuff likethat.
So I met a couple that way.
And then Juliana went toHarvard and so I met the other

(12:17):
one that way, and then one inthe film industry.
That was a good.
I told you about that one,though.
I think that was.
That was.
That was a good.
I told you about that one,though.
I think that was that was Idon't know if I all right.
So there was this one.
There was this one really quick.
We got to get to Ted Lasso.
But there was this moment wherewe got invited to.
It was when.

(12:38):
Jesus it was I was.
It was when ArnoldSchwarzenegger was governor of
California.
He was the governor.
Yeah yeah, yeah.
And so I don't know how we gotinvited to this, but it was his
birthday party and it was thisbig thing in Brentwood and I

(13:00):
just got a job as a writer forthis.
It was like my first screenplayever sold and it's a really
exciting thing.
When you first saw a screenplayin hollywood, you're like, oh,
my god, you know it really feelslike it's, it's a, it's a big
deal, um, and I remember in thismeeting so I was like had all

(13:20):
these impressions of like whatit was going to be like to be in
Hollywood.
And I remember my first meeting, big meeting.
I was so nervous.
I went into this productioncompany and you just have all
these preconceived notions ofwhat Hollywood is.
And I remember that the guy whoowned the production company

(13:44):
was like picking at pimples andhe had his shoes off and I
remember his socks going backand forth like this and I was
like this is not a lot less coolthan what.
I thought yeah.
So he ended up buying myscreenplay.
So, uh, that was.

(14:07):
He ended up buying, uh, myscreenplay.
And then I had, you know, thisrelationship where you have in
hollywood, which is you, youhave a contract and there's
writers, guild minimums, and youknow it's more than I had ever
made in my life, and but then itgets contentious because you
like give them a draft and likethis doesn't count as a
technical draft.
You know, like what coach couldtell you he's already shaking
his head, just this whole sortof sort of whatever.
Um, so julianne and I go to this, this party, I, I set this up

(14:29):
to say, like the guy, theproduction company owner, you
know he said his name, you knowhe's made 100 movies, probably,
but it wasn't awesome to me um,and so, um, we go to this
governor's party, and that'swhere I met the other
billionaire who was like hostingit, and at his house in

(14:52):
Brentwood.
And then I was like this isnauseating.
I wanted to go, just to go.
Julianna didn't want to go, butI was like you know, I just
want to see what this is.
It'll be good for writing.
This is what we talked aboutlast episode the the pitfalls of
dating a writer, because youjust want to experience
everything and you say like,okay, just want, I want this
again.
Look at, I can talk about itnow.
If I didn't go, I wouldn't beable to talk about.

(15:13):
So, um, we go out and you had tovalet your car because you know
it's a neighborhood, basically.
And so julian and I are at thefront of the line waiting for
our car to get dropped off andthis Bentley pulls up onto the
street.
It's in Brentwood, bentleypulls up.
I never told you guys.
This Bentley pulls up and it'sthis big-time producer and he's

(15:36):
like he calls me over.
He's like, hey, he's like comehere and I go up to the driver's
door of his car he's got hiswindow down and I go up to the
driver's door of his car he'sgot his window down.
He's like what's going on here?
This is my neighborhood.
He's like I live right overthere and I was like, oh, I was
like it's the governor'sbirthday party, didn't you get
it, didn't you?

(15:57):
Get it Woo.
All right, that's pretty goodand he put his window up and
drove away and I've literallynever talked to the guy since.
I mean, but it was a great, itwas a Julian.
I was like you did not.
You're like you'll never workfor that production company
again, but it was worth it.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
You definitely pissed in that punch bowl.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
But yeah, I hear you it does seem like it was worth
it.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, it was fantastic, it was so great.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
Because we talked just a bit about billionaires
and the morality associated withthat.
I need to mention there are acouple of very weird things and
then I promise we'll move on.
But number one is that veryoften your contentment with your
own life is not how much moneyyou individually have, but how
much money you have compared tothe people that you consider
your peers.
So in your case, castleton,when you were going to a prep

(16:50):
school but going on ascholarship and going yeah you
know, not boarding there and notstaying there, I'm sure that
the difference might have beenvery accentuated for you, it was
a gulf, it was a gulf, it was agulf I will say that there is a
weird gulf for me, because theprivate schools in the chicago

(17:11):
suburb where I grew up wereexclusively religiously
affiliated and only day schools.
Like when you say prep schools,I'm like that is some old-timey
english aristocratic bullshit,like it's, it's it is.
It is like we had holy angelsand aurora christian and that

(17:33):
was where you're going toprivate school and if you
weren't gonna learn about jesus,you weren't going to their
fucking school.
So it's like, even within thethree of us now being
interesting it's.
Literally.
You're talking aboutbillionaires.
I could theoretically go to aplace where I might meet
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker,who is the only billionaire I
could name offhand who lives inIllinois.

(17:54):
It's just.
God bless the Midwest.
We got nothing going on in hereOutside of.
Chicago, chicago's fuckingamazing.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
That's interesting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's true, the Gulf isthere and you're right to say
yeah, you know, how are youcompared to your peers?
That was, I remember.
I remember, like for springbreak, I knew I would be going
to work for my dad's factory so,like, all my friends would go

(18:27):
off and they would literallygoing to stad and aspen and they
all had houses all over theworld, but they were definitely
going.
If they weren't going to, likeyou know, some resort, they were
going to another country forspring break and I would get up
the next morning super early togo into work with my dad and he
would save this big.
He is like a.
They would sort of.
They did a lot of die cutting sothey would have scrap rubber
and I remember the smell of therubber.

(18:48):
You'll never get it out of yournose.
It's like when someone burnstheir tires burning type of
rubber.
That's what the factory smelledlike all the time.
But they would cut all of thesethings out of big sheets of
rubber and I would have to gomeasure the scrap rubber with

(19:09):
calipers and sort it based onthickness to see if we could
reuse part of it.
Uh, you know, oh yeah, and itwas not.
It was not, but it's fun.
Hey, it's character building um, but it's um.
It's a different, you know,it's a different experience than
what most of my peers were yeah, this is um god, I'm going to
talk so much I was.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
It's because I was on the east coast recently and
there feels to be a certainlevel of character that has not
developed in some of yourmidwestern suburbs, like
everything.
A suburb is built in like 10years, so everything in a
specific area is from 76 to 86and everything looks the same

(19:47):
and everything is very boring.
There's not a lot to it.
There are a shit ton ofMcDonald's.
So I swear to God, number one,I did just have to look up what
Stott is Didn't know, did notknow what you were talking about
there.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Oh well, tell anybody .
Sorry, right, and I said it asif everyone knows what is it I
didn't find it.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
I was looking it up and then I had to start talking
and I couldn't even spell itstarts with.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
It starts with the g are you fucking kidding me?
G, s, t, a, a, d.
It's a skiing, it's a city inin switzerland, but it's like a,
you know, very exclusive.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
No, I don't know because it's so exclusive, I
don't know about it this is whatI'm this is what I'm trying to.
What I'm saying is that, likewhen I was at u of I and people
were going on spring break whichalso I, of course, was not
doing that because, come on, um,but I swear to god, one of the
things they were like we foundthis new place, cancun is over.
Nobody's going to cancunanymore.

(20:42):
We're so past canccun, nowwe're going to South Padre
Island, and they were like thatis the cool place, like that is
where we're going to go, fuckinghang out, jesus, this is what
I'm talking about.
I need you to know when youtalk to me about, like not being
able to do anything, I am I amI exceed at not being able to do
anything.
I am I exceed at not being ableto do anything.

(21:03):
I am so fucking far past mostpeople.
We're like hell, yeah, let'sfly through Brownsville, texas,
on our way to vacation.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
That's what's up.
Yeah, no, no, listen, I can't.
We got into this by saying Ithink we should make
billionaires wait.
They're not superior, they'renot better.
You know what I mean.
In my experience, I met MalcolmForbes one time and he was like
a blast.
He was really like, he was asgood as you know.

(21:34):
He was about the very, veryanimated and huge personality
and amazing and sort of really,really, that was like the only.
I guess there were fivebillionaires I forgot about them
, but so he was the only onethat was like um, you know big
personality.
But there was this one guy themost recent one I met, no, no,

(21:55):
the one before him and he and itwas like um, we were at this.
Uh, juliana went to Harvard, sowe went to these.
Every year they have like aHarvard or sorry, five years
class reunion kind of thing.
Coach can probably talk aboutthis at Yale too.
And what's funny is, you knowthey do these things like, oh,
class of whatever, right, and wewere able to.
You know our goal was to raiseblah, blah, blah.

(22:16):
And if you go to a regularcollege, like I did, to raise
like 75 bucks from the wholeclass, right, but at at the ivs.
They're like our goal is, like,you know, we're trying to hit
200 million this year.
And you're like are you like?
What did you just like?
Like it's, it's, it's apreposterous number and that's

(22:38):
just what the class raised.
And then, as you dig into it,you find out like like oh,
everyone else raised, you know,840,000.
And then one billionaire gaveyou know 100 million because
he's got a kid that's about tobe legacied into the school.
You know things like that.
So, anyway, but have you donethat, coach?
Have you been to any of thosefancy?

Speaker 3 (22:57):
schmancy I have.
I usually don't pay a ton ofattention to the speeches that
would include what you just said, but yes, I've been around for
it and I and I, I hear it and Iget it, it's, it's, it is
outrageous, like beyond outrage,the amount of money.

(23:19):
That's just sort of likestrolling around campus and
sometimes I have to.
You know it's a littledifferent what you described
with terms of billionairespecifically, but certainly like
, uh, political and like publicfigures.
Like I'll be like oh yeah, Iknow so, and like I used to, I
used to hang out, like I havepartied with the attorney
general of california and andwas really great friends with

(23:40):
his I mean even better friendswith his wife, who's also a
politician, like you know, but Idon, but I don't think you know
what I mean Like I don't, Ithink of them as Robin Mielisa,
and then suddenly someone bringsit up and I'm like he is the
attorney general of California,that is true.
We have hung out at Harvard,yale, at a tailgate, and he now
is a big fucking shot caller.

(24:01):
You know there are a bunch ofpeople like that, but yeah,
anyway.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
In the infamous words of the great Van Halen 5150
album contact is all it takes,hello neighbor.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Come on, that's a pull.
That was impressive, nice, I dolove that.
Thank you.
A pull that was impressive.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
You did nice.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Nice, I do love that.
Thank you, coach Ted Lasso.
So Sam gets called out byHiggins and then boss.
Will you walk us through thisinteraction here please?

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Of course.
So Sam walks into the room and,jesus Christ, why am I blanking
on his name already?
Akufo, edwin, that's what I wasthinking of.
I kept wanting to call himEdward, not Edward.
Edward, no.
Edwin Akufo is saying Sam hey,sammo hey.
Excellent performance.

(24:58):
Yeah, the goal of course.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Sammo by the way.

They're so tight, sam-o, by the way.
Oh yeah, they're buddies,they're like they're so tight,
sam-o no I.
No, thank you, it's so.
Anyway, keep going.
Sam-o is worse in a coupleminutes than it is right now,
but keep going.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
I just I'm not sure if I I think I mentioned on here
there are three people in theworld that are allowed to call
me Emmy and you listening rightnow are not them?
When people do that informally,somebody it's so it's so
insulting when, like, I don'tknow anybody well enough and
they try to become that familiar, hey, emmy, no, no, absolutely

(25:40):
not.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Anyway, excellent performance.
Are Coach and I part of thethree.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
You could do it, I wouldn't get mad at you.
I would say like no, you couldcall me m, but like I wouldn't
get mad.
But no, not part m m likeauntie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, Iwould call it auntie m, but I
just talked about how I'm fromthe culturalist midwest, so but
yeah, no, no, no right, m isgreat.
A lot of people like I'm in alot of phones as M and that's
fine.
All right.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Okay, yeah, yeah, all right.
Well, thank you.
I thought you were going to sayfuck, fuck, no, no, you
wouldn't be doing it in aninsulting way.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
You would try it and I'd be like no, I don't really.
That's not really what I go infor.
I would yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I would be trying to get a rise out of you.
You would be trying to be anasshole, I would be putting it
after a comma after some sort ofdeclarative statement Like
maybe wash your feet.
Comma Emmy.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
You would be doing it in the same way as our buddy
who sent me the Christmas card.
He found out that I don't wantto be called Emma and would
refer to me as that exclusively,but this is also why I sent him
horrible texts about myfather's suicide.
So like fair play.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Kurt, sorry about it.
We're playing full contact atthis point.
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
Come on.
Excellent performance, yeah,the goal, of course, speaks for
itself, but your tacticaldiscipline, hey, they're
certainly going to miss youaround here.
And finally, sam speaks up asMr Akufo.
I truly enjoyed meeting you andI am so flattered by your offer
.
I'm sorry, but my answer is no,thank you, and I don't believe

(27:23):
my time here at Richmond is overand for that reason I have to
stay.
I hope you could understand,which, of course, being a
billionaire, edwin Okufo totallyunderstands.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
And shouts he's like thank you, I will have a great
day.
Home class, here's $100,000 foryou.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
You Nigerian motherfucker, you Yoruba trash.
Who the fuck do you think youare wasting my time?
You medium talent, piece ofshit.
I love that they called out themedium talent yeah, medium
talent yeah, that was great thatis well so.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
he goes Nigerian, he goes country, then he goes tribe
you, yoruba, piece of of.
That's like, oh, that's like,okay, here's the recent insult,
here's the ancient insult, yeah.
And then he's like and I'mgoing to insult your ability,
you like medium talent, piece ofshit.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Wait, but do we know about medium talent?

Speaker 3 (28:22):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
It's fucking one of my I, I, I refuse to believe
that it isn't 100 accurate.
I will not call it lore, uh,but apparently on the set of
saturday night live way back inthe day, uh, bill murray and
chevy chase got into it.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
It almost came to blows if it did not come to,
blows it almost came to blows.
I may heard this story, but Idon't remember the details Go
ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
I think we've said it on the show before.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
Yeah, as they were dragging Bill Murray away
Because Chevy Chase was the star.
He was it.
He was who everybody was thereto see.
I'm Chevy Chase and you're not,and as they're dragging Bill
Murray away, he shouts down thehall medium talent at Chevy
Chase.
It's such a perfect insult.

(29:09):
It's so fucking good.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
It is.
I stole directly from that sortof vibe.
A guy I went to high schoolwith became my youngest
brother's teacher, like he wasright out of college and my
younger brother was.
I had a couple situations likethat yep, yep yeah so I was like
oh, john, yeah, john prochko,john prochko is your teacher.
And apparently prochko wasgiving him shit.

(29:34):
I don't think because he knewme, but just because maybe my
brother was an asshole and Isaid that's fine.
Next time he yells at you, youtell him that his performance
and joseph in the amazingtechnicolor dream coat was
mediocre at best and that is sowrong, that is.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
So I was like let me tell you.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Let me tell you exactly, exactly how to get that
guy mediocre at best.
So wrong, that is so wrong.
Don't be a dick.
Um, I will dedicate my life todestroying you, you fucking
asshole, and you will never playon the Nigerian national team.

(30:12):
Hmm, you understand?
You understand me, pinky dick?
Never.
And I will buy your childhoodhome and I will take a shit in
every room and then I will burnthe place down.
Yeah, then I will sit there, Iwill eat uh kinky and I will
poop on the fucking ashes.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I promise you this um no, no, we just like all that
so I'd like to return to ourprevious conversation about the
practice of making billionaireswait.
Is there any?
Is there anything?
About this reaction thatsuggests that he was going to,
uh, patiently wait for anyone.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Oh, also, or the propensity of their of them to
be sociopath.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
This is like so mental, mental, and not only
that, but he starts out For mewhat it points to that we all
should keep in mind regardingall billionaires and those who
claim billionaire status nonames used is he'll say anything
Like literally a minute ago ago, this man was fawning fawning

(31:18):
is not too strong a word andbecause he was told no, this is
where we are, like sam has notsaid anything else since.
He said literally no, thank you, you could not be any more
polite, or I mean, that's hisbig transgression.
That this guy has lost his shitIs, uh, turns out.

(31:41):
I want to keep the job I haveand not leave with you.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Right.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
Well, I think, I think, even though he's making a
big deal about it right now,edwin will get over it.
Oh, 100%.
It seems like as he's.
As he's leaving, he makes sureI will never forget this
disrespect.
Fuck you, sam Obasanya, fuckingdare.
So maybe I was wrong, maybewhen he said I will never forget

(32:07):
this disrespect.
You know what?
Listen, I gotta respectsomebody that holds a grudge.
That's a t-shirt.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
You know what?
Listen, I got to respectsomebody that holds a grudge.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
That's a t-shirt.
So Francis goes for the fakehandshake, sam goes for it.
And then so Sam Richardsonplays Edwin Acufo.
Listen, it's really hard to dothis kind of physical comedy,
it's not.
I don't know how much thislanded and I don't know the
intelligence of like sort offinishing the season with it,

(32:42):
but whatever it was, it had tohappen.
Sam Richardson, sort of likewhen he said you know, I don't
think my time Richmond has done.
Like he had this, like flare ofhis eyes while he was listening
.
Like wait, you're about to sayno to me.
And it's like, dude, this isyour number one draft pick.
You're like, oh, you're thecore of my and listen, it's
smart.
You build a soccer team, youwant midfielders and but like he

(33:08):
go, the concept of like who areyou to waste my time?
Like you know what I mean.
Like I, that is so.
Oh my god, oh man, that rubs methe wrong way.
God damn, that rubs me thewrong.
I don't know if there'sanything you can like, because
it's such an iniquity and it'sjust like, are you like?
But he believes that it's, it'sno different than, uh, you know,

(33:32):
like a caste system.
Or you know one person thinkinglike, oh, I, I, I, by virtue of
whatever fill in the blanks Iam a more important being on
this planet than you.
It's like what?
The is great, we're all.
We all die the same way, we allhave.
You know, we're all mortal.
I don't, whatever just does notcompute for me.

(33:53):
But um kufo goes out and thenhe does this.
Great, I think it's great.
I think it's um.
Again, I think it's great,because it's very difficult to
do and even harder to pull off,and he generally pulls it off.
He, there's a mannequin with nohead, he, he strangles it and
very slowly brings it down tothe ground and slams it down on

(34:16):
the ground.
Then he squats over it andpoops and he yells, poop, poop,
gives him the finger and thenwe're out.
Sam obviously thinks he madethe wrong decision.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Well, clearly, I mean , you definitely, definitely
want your future in the hands ofthis guy, definitely want your
future in the hands of this guy.
But I don't think it should belost that Higgins is taking in
the insanity down the hallwayand then looking in through the
window in the door at Sam,because, remember, for all

(34:50):
Higgins knows he's about to getthe hey, you've been great, but
I'm going to go the other way.
Higgins doesn't know what theanswer is.
So he's finding the way he findsout that Sam is staying in
Richmond is because a kufo isdown the hallway pantomiming,

(35:10):
shitting on the head of aheadless mannequin in a richmond
kit.
That's.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
That's how he got the news yeah, and you have to
think like a bunny rabbit likehiggins, uh, this would be a lot
of conflict.
Yes, you know, like I could youfigure higgins probably like
goes and sucks his thumb alittle bit after this, or you
know, he's like jesus christ,like there's just a lot, it's
just a lot people who are this,uh, you know, sort of overtly

(35:40):
attacking you, just go, wow, youknow it's it's not the same
thing, but I will say I grew upand I can't.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
I could rattle off scenes and the details of them
aren't as important as theoverall.
I grew up around a lot of chaos, like just in my life, like in
the neighborhood people would beblowing up, yelling at people.
You know, even in my own familyLike I can tell you a story of
time my brother threw a bottleat my father.
I mean it's crazy, right, it'sjust like fucking crazy.
And there's something everyonce in a while.

(36:13):
I'm around someone who didn'tgrow up around that kind of
chaos when some chaos goes downand I'm like, oh, poor thing.
Like I just want to hug becauseI'm like oh yeah, you must feel
like the world's coming to anend.
No, no, no no, let's go grablunch.
It's fine.
It's fine, but it's not fine.

(36:34):
It's actually not fine.
I am the one who's out of thethe ordinary here, but I'm
telling you, people getting likescreaming matches and I'm just
like, um, I think I'll have thefrench toast, like I don't okay,
whatever, it doesn't affect youif you grew up in it.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Boss talked about this a few episodes ago where
conflict is.
You know it was funny and Ishould have quoted this.
There was a.
I noticed some I was readingsome oh damn it, but they were
talking about conflict.
I forget what I was reading andthey're like, conflict is the
starting point of of resolution,like it like and so how you?
And so boss was saying, ohlisten, I don't mind people

(37:13):
yelling and getting if they knowthat they're.
It's not like threat ofphysical violence or anything
like that.
Boss didn't mind.
In her own family a little, someraised voices or people digging
in a little bit, because that'swhere that's how things are
worked out in a lot of differentfamilies.
But it is true when you have atleast.
I grew up in a crazy house,julianna grew up in the opposite

(37:35):
.
They're the loveliest people inthe world and so I'm totally
fine with, like, everythingexploding around me and you know
it's just a weird, it's a weird, it's a weird.
I don't know if it's anadvantage, but I, but I know it
makes you not as shy aroundconflict.
You know you're not as aseffective.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
I think it can be an advantage.
I don't think it automaticallygives you one, but it depends on
how you want to roll with thatIf you decide.
I have known people who havegrown up in conflict that
instead of leaning into it andsaying we can yell and fight and
it'll be fine, they instead sayconflict is bad, I can't ever

(38:17):
do it.
And so then they becomeconfrontation averse to the
point where they will let thingsgo even when they want to talk
about them, because they don'twant to have the confrontation
or the conflict.
So I don't think it necessarilyis one or the other.
It just it's how you process it.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
It's funny you mentioned that piece.
The thing that I've oftenreacted to is, to me, ok, if
there's a problem with me,doesn't go, doesn't have the

(38:58):
conflict, but it's just thissort of ongoing hum of we got a
problem here, like, like,there's definitely the portion
of me like that upbringing,there's a portion of me that
that brings me to look, man, yougot something to say?
Fucking say it.
Like there's a level to which Iwould if I'm Sam.

(39:18):
I appreciate everyone losingtheir shit over walking out like
we're good and then me here twomonths later that he said I was
an asshole, like I was, likeyou got a problem with me.
Now If I find out the other way?
Now I got a problem with you.
Yeah.
Now If I find out the?

Speaker 4 (39:32):
other way.
Now I got power too.
Yeah, I swear to God, if he hadshaken Sam's hand and said I'm
so sorry to hear that, I'd havebeen fucking terrified that
means that he is coming backwith some shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah Right, yeah,exactly right.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
It would be much more of a power move yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
It's very childish yeah this blowing up nonsense
like absolutely, the yeah, it'svery childish.
Yeah, this blowing up nonsenseLike absolutely, if the quieter
and quieter somebody gets, I'mlike, ah, I'm going to fucking
die, oh, they're going to,they're going to get me so good.
It's good If I ever get quietaround you.
Fucking not good.
Board, board it up.
I love, I love it.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
It's like I love.
It's like think of a riot anddo everything you would do to
get ready for said riot and thenmaybe you'll be ready.
That's great, it's true.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
So we cut from there to the appropriately, we cut to
press conference and Coach walkus through.
Ted is sitting at the front.
Okay, y'all, hey settle downy'all.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Hey, settle down y'all.
At this point, very reminiscentof Ted's first very nice
bookend to Ted not being able todrink water.
And Coach, walk us through thisone.
I want to address the articlewritten by our good friend Trent
Krim from the and he looks overat the seat where Trent's been
all that time and that seat isempty.
Cameras are going, or rather, Iwant to share with you all the
truth about my recent struggleswith anxiety and, well, my

(41:08):
overall concern about the way wediscuss and deal with mental
health in athletics.
We discuss and deal with mentalhealth in athletics, I was
really glad they put that inhere, and I know we've had other
PSA moments that we thought Iwas really, really glad they put
that in here, I think.
Yeah, anyway, I've shared myown stories in terms of dealing

(41:33):
with depression, anxiety and soon, and I think there's just
this fake.
It's sort of another version ofthe faking that we're okay and
shaking my hand and walking out.
I think we do people a realdisservice when we demand that
they show us okay, no matterwhat they're actually
experiencing.
So yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Anyway, I know it's a little psa, but I was glad I'm
such a fan I I every time someathlete talks about their mental
uh health and they I go.
I want to go to bat for him.
Um, one of my favorite footballplayers of all time is a
receiver named brandon marshallyeah, he got into so much shit

(42:12):
growing up he always made stupiddecisions.
He fucking just put himself.
He was just an idiot that puthimself in bad spots and all
he's done once I think what hegot was a great wife.
I'm pretty sure that's whathappened.
He married up and and she justopened his eyes and all he's
been working for for years andyears and years is mental health

(42:35):
awareness and he's been honestabout his problems and honest
about and I remember um nukehopkins, um, there's another
receiver, one of the bestreceivers to ever play the game,
and I remember him saying, yeah, I'm in therapy, like it was
this little thing, and I waslike wait, what?
Like it's one thing to say itin the in the sporting Like.

(42:55):
It's one thing to say it in thein the sporting community, it's
another thing to say it in theblack community and and and that
better than that.
But there's levels, right, andbut anytime someone that has
that kind of bravery and thatkind of honesty, it just
especially in the, in the, youknow we talk about toxic
masculinity and where is it moreprevalent than the NFL?

(43:15):
And so to face those momentshead on and talk about mental
health is it's like when peoplesplit up healthcare and mental
healthcare.
It makes me I just want to Iknow, I know what part of basic
human.
I just do not get it.
And every time people assume weknow everything, doctors figure

(43:41):
out something else.
And again, coach and I bothwere diagnosed with ADHD much
later in our 40s.
We still have friends who rolltheir eyes and don't think it's
real.
I know, I know.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
But here's, yes, that is true and that can be
challenging.
Sometimes I have this what Iwill share if there's anybody
out there who's struggling, ormaybe you're in a circle where
people are less open to theconversation and so on for me me
, I've made humongous stridesforward over the last few years.
Personally, my own experienceof life and one of the key

(44:24):
elements of that, has been beingable to just sit with the thing
I'm actually feeling.
I am pissed off, I sit here andbe pissed off for a second.
Now, sometimes that means go dosomething about the pissed off.
Sometimes that means read abook, sometimes that means take
a nap, but just being with it.
So I think one of the reasons Ilove this here and I love

(44:46):
Brandon March from Luke Hopkinsand all the people who said hold
on a second, pay attention isif you'll do that, then there's
something you can do about itand there's something you can be
aware of and in charge of.
And until you do that, then itcomes out in all sorts of

(45:06):
bizarre ways and people behaveand they make you oh wait where
are you?
and I'm like the number ofdrunken you know, of hangover
apologies in my life would becut in half if I could have just
spent some time going.
All right, this is anxiety,right, but you know, we

(45:27):
encourage almost anything elsewhere it would have been far
more acceptable and far morebizarrely respectable to be
getting in bar fights a coupleof times a week than to say, oh
yeah, once a week I go sit on,you know, sit in somebody's
office and tell them what'sgoing on with me, and that's
insane.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
That is insane.
That is, that is.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
Yeah, that's it that that part is incredibly insane,
and the other thing that bothersme so much about it is there is
a very strong urge, especiallyin repressed, wasp-y Midwestern
culture, to pretend thateverything is fine, to ignore

(46:10):
the issues to not address them.
If you don't pay attention tothem, we'll be fine, like why
are you talking about the badthing?
Talking about the bad thingcalls attention to it, but there
are also times where justsaying out loud the bad thing
robs it of its power.
Like the way to feel better isyou say I am afraid I'm not
going to get this promotion andI don't know what's going to
happen after that.

(46:30):
And if you say it out loud tosomebody else, they're like
either we'll come up with a gameplan, or how about if we just
wait until we find out?
Like we will figure this out?
So it's.
It's saying it out loud is soimportant in order to help you
deal with it.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
and the fact that people are like don't talk about
your problems is the absoluteworst fucking thing yeah, no,
it's funny because the, thecultures that have taken over
big parts of the world, arehistorically, you know,
repressive and don't have aphilosophy of open communication
.
You know what I mean.

(47:05):
So it's like you're sort offighting it everywhere you look
and it's like, oh man, um, youknow, point to a, a world system
where openness and kindness and, you know, being honest about
your limitations, especially asa man, is the norm.
It's just like it's so crazyhow humans have allowed, you

(47:28):
know, this to become a point ofweakness instead of a point of
strength.
Insane Boss, will you walk usthrough now, ted, we, we, we.
We cut from from that scene toRebecca's office.
We get a, we get a shot of asingle of Rebecca at her desk.
And will you walk us throughthis boss?

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Yeah, absolutely so.
After he gets done, saying that, Ted comes up and says, hey
boss, just wanted tocongratulate you on your
promotion, and she says you too,Ted Champagne to celebrate Says
no, I'll just take a glass ofwater, please.
Big water day for him,apparently.
And she jokingly kind of saysstill, or sparkling.

(48:10):
He said, yes, still Right.
You know, before living here Iused to think that still water
was just folks saying that itwas still water.
You know, like it was water andit continues to remain to be
water.
At this point I need to I'msure I've said it before, but
call out Mitch Hedberg'sphenomenal joke of I used to do
drugs, I still do, but I used todo them also.

(48:33):
Yes, yes, Because I fuckinglove do drugs, I still do but I
used to do them also.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Yeah, yes, cause I fucking love that guy.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
Oh my God, every fucking line was like that.
Um, so after that, uh, uh, shesays well, there is no greater
education than travel.
And he says hey, freaking man.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
It's like the most dismissive, yeah, like british
well um anyway, so funny.
So on on brand for each one ofthem.
Okay, sorry, keep going uh uh.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
Says so well, hey, next season should be fun, right
?
Uh, well, that will include oneof our.
Well, that'll include an oldfriend.
Rupert bought west ham unitedand he says did?
He now said well, that'll be anice change, having our run-ins
with him being scheduled, asopposed to his normal sneak
attacks.
And which excellent point.

(49:26):
Because rupert is an assholeand will intentionally show up
at places that he shouldn't,when he shouldn't be there, in
order to ruin rebecca's day yeah, he's good.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
He's good with that he's great with that.
That's a sure sign that he'sover her and done with it uh,
it's funny ted and and keely hadgenerally the same response
about rupert, like oh okay, thiswill be.
This will standardize it alittle bit more.
It's funny that they both hadthat sort of yeah, I, I
generally like I.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
I could actually see, though, that the surprise of a
person would be somehow worse.
Um, oh yeah it, it, I, uh havesaid before that one of my
favorite things about jeremyallen white going from being the
love of my life as lipgallagher to being Carmen
Berzato on the Bear is that whenhe became, when he started

(50:18):
becoming a meme, when he startedshowing up, like on Twitter and
stuff, it was like running intoa crush, which is a thing that
doesn't happen to you whenyou're a 43-year-old woman in a
long-term relationship.
Right you never see somebodythat you aren't expecting to see
, that you have feelings for, so, like all of a sudden, he would
be on Twitter and so yes,there's.

(50:39):
In the same way, seeingsomebody you hate when you
weren't expecting to is not apleasant surprise.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
No, especially when it's Rupert.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
God, especially when it's fun, rupert.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
So Sam walks in and says hi, Rebecca, Ted is now
sitting on the couch.
So Sam walks in and says hi,Rebecca, Ted is now sitting on
the couch and you know he seesTed there.
And Coach oh, yes, yeah, oh,hey, Coach, Hi.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
Rebecca.
Oh, yes, it's.
If not, if everyone in the roomhad not known beforehand what
was going on with them, everyonein the room would have known
after this.
This is yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
I am hoping Ted would pick up on this at least.
Yeah for sure.
Rebecca looks like a deercaught in the headlights.
She's just kind of stuck.
It's a great shot.
Hannah Wattingham man.
Oh God damn, she's so good, soshe's just sitting there.
Sam is about to peace out andmaybe he's like sorry, and he's

(51:41):
about to hit the dusty trail.
Ted says no, hey, sam, go ahead, stick around.
I was getting ready to leave.
And you know, rebecca says no.
No, ted stay.
No, it's okay, so he sits down.
Why would you?
No, it's okay, so he, he sitsdown.

Speaker 4 (51:55):
Why would you tell him it's okay to stay Like?
I mean, this is not how youmake this less awkward.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Like there's not, it's just.
Yeah, I mean, it's just politein one way, but it's also.
It's also like trying to headoff, like I don't know, I don't
know it's so interesting, oh no,no, it's fine, I'm sure it's.
You know, like I don't know,it's really it's an interesting
choice.
He just sits down super awkwardand then what happens here,
boss?

Speaker 4 (52:21):
uh well.
Then he says oh okay, well, um,uh, in that case, I just wanted
to let you both know that I'vedecided to stay.
To which ted says hey, that'sgreat, sam.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
And rebecca finally says uh, yes, I'm glad to hear
that, sam how did rebeccabreathe for the first time since
he walked in there, like sheliterally like exhales.
He's like, oh, thank god, uh,and yeah, that's great sam oh,
that's great, oh, okay.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
And then, of course, how did Edwin Okufo take the
news?
Not well, he stormed off.
He's already halfway back toGhana.
Oh shoot, I was really lookingforward to getting that final
goodbye handshake from Francis.
Is Ted's only response?

(53:12):
Not that the billionaire whowas here trying to form a
professional team or poach oneof their best players, none of
that.
Just, I was really lookingforward to that other handshake.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Well, you know, listen, coach, if uh coach, uh
uh coach bishop.
Um god, I remember him so fun.
You remember him.
Uh, remember he used to be onthis podcast.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
I do Apparently power outages.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Power outages in Los Angeles have foiled Coach Bishop
so that he will miss the end ofthe final episode.

Speaker 4 (53:48):
Either that or he just decided to bounce, and this
was the easiest way of gettingit done.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
He just hates Ted Lasso.
He's like I I have no love leftfor the show and I can't
possibly talk about it for onemore second.
But yeah, coach Bishop, if hewere here he would definitely
say that it's on brand for Tedto appreciate the, the handshake

(54:14):
from the, from an assistant asmuch as, um, you know, any
interaction with the billionaire, because for ted there's no
such thing as a smallinteraction.
That goes right back to to ourvery first episode boss, very
first recording um, ted.
I remember coach bishop sayingI think ted would say, like what
is a small interaction?
There's no such thing.

(54:34):
So he says why did you decideto stay?

Speaker 4 (54:39):
Ted wants to know and he says I wish I could say it
was because of my feelings foryou, but the truth is, I think I
need to stop worrying about howothers feel about me.
I'm staying because it's what'sbest for me in my personal
journey, because it's what'sbest for me in my personal
journey, which so I understandwhy.
I have mentioned before havingissues with platitudes and how

(55:05):
they are often insufficient in alot of circumstances.
I was talking this weekendabout the idea of he'd give you
the shirt off his back.
He's such a nice guy, he'd giveyou the shirt off his back and
I think, if you stop to thinkabout it for a second, what's
sort of underneath that?
Number one does that mean hehas a shirt at home?
Are we giving somebody creditbecause they have the privilege

(55:26):
of being able to give awaythings and we need to keep that
in perspective.
Number two it's definitely aman, because a woman couldn't
give you the shirt off her back,because the woman giving you
the shirt off her back would bearrested for indecency.
That'd be a whole fucking thingwhat a, what a hard invited in
by me there he is, he's back hi,welcome back, coach, welcome

(55:47):
back um, but so just a lot ofwhat he is doing is recognizing
that basing the decisions in hislife on other people's wants or
needs isn't going to ultimatelyserve him or the other people.
So when he says I need tofigure this out for myself that
focusing on what is best for youisn't inherently selfish, and I

(56:09):
think sometimes, especially inour bifurcated sort of way, we
say if you do for other people,that's good, and if you do for
yourself, that's bad and he isfiguring out that there is
actually the much better middleground where you take care of
yourself so that you can takecare of other people.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Yeah, no, no, no.
This is very well said.
It's something I've learned, Ithink, the hard way that you
have to take care of yourself.
I remember, uh, growing up, mymom would eat last and, and it
was like a thing that she woulddo to be like, oh, look, how I
love my family, and I naturallyadopted it with my, with my
family, and then I was like,wait a second, this is like some

(56:54):
martyrdom bullshit, like thisis like some, yeah, performative
.
I'm like, no, I'm likesometimes, when I'm cooking,
I'll be like I do most of thecooking for our family, um, and
I'll be like, no, I'm gonna, I'mgonna eat some, I'm gonna eat
some of whatever I'm cooking.
So I have the energy to finishthe goddamn cooking.
Sometimes, especially, I tendto be one of those people where,

(57:14):
um, there's like a period, it'slike right around dinner time,
like between 5 and 5 30, my, my,just my.
I don't know if it's insulinlevel dips or whatever I just
get.
I get worn out, and that's aperfect time.
It's usually when I'm cookingand, uh, so you get a little
snack, you get a little, uhlittle bite of dinner before
everybody else and all of asudden, you have the energy to

(57:36):
push through.
So, yeah, you do have to and II like this about what Sam says,
like I've taken the time tothink about my personal journey
and this is the.
This is the right move.
It does not feel selfish.

Speaker 4 (57:48):
Did you ever consider how it was that mama bear's
porridge was too cold, eventhough papa bear's was too hot
and baby bear's was just right?

Speaker 2 (57:58):
right.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Yeah, no, I never thought of that, but you're out,
you're absolutely right, yeahshe absolutely didn't eat so
that she could get a dish foreither one of them yeah, yep,
yeah, that's very wow yeah no, Ireally am like, yeah, my one
got if it's very Wow, yeah, no,I really Mind blown.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
It's funny that just came up because I'm trying to
remember where, but somebody wasreferencing that story recently
and pointed out that we weretaught Was it you?

Speaker 4 (58:27):
No, no, no, but that might have been on threads or
someplace yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
Oh, maybe because they pointed out that we were
taught to root against the bearswhen all they were doing was
protecting their house.
It's our house, it's ourparrots, it's our beds.
What the fuck's going on?

Speaker 4 (58:43):
here, A blonde bitch rolls into your house and steals
your food and passes out inyour bed and we're like oh,
those mean bears no.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Absolute, bullshit.
No, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
No, no, no.
This is exactly Look no furtherthan fairy tales.
I mean, Jack and the Beanstalkis about a little shit that
comes up in the schools.
He's an asshole.
Yeah, he's a total asshole.
Steals from some giants mindingtheir own business.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Minding their own business.
Anyway, sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
So Sam says this very profound thing, Rebecca is kind
of just shocked and Ted sayswhat here, coach?

Speaker 3 (59:21):
So Rebecca sits down, they're right in there, win the
whole fucking thing blockingand Ted is processing.
That was kind of intense foreverybody and he says he might
have been talking to you when heyes, I know that, ted, which I
don't know why I enjoyed that asmuch as I did, but I very much

(59:42):
enjoyed it I laughed out loud.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
He might have been talking to you when he was
looking at me.
No, fucking shit that's great.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
And then she frankly inhales and the entire flute of
champagne oh yeah and yes, tedsays, oh hell, you crushed that,
which it just makes me think,like ted has had many a drinking
night.
Like we are catching ted on themaybe I shouldn't quite drink
as much as I do.
Part of his life which I've had, I've had that phase, so I get

(01:00:16):
it.
But he still, like he knows themechanics of it, like he knows
what to say, he knows how itgoes, he knows where beer's
headed after that crushingdefeat, he knows all of it.
And yeah, so you crushed that.
Yeah, it was a lot Sam, sam,sam, sam.
Be all grown up.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yes, sir, no, he really, yeah, no, it's a
powerful moment.
Rebecca's going to have to takea beat To absorb All of the
ramifications Of Sam staying.
I think you, you know, in thatsame way, it feels like a lot of
people had prepared for theworst.
With sam, it's a very difficultoffer to to pass up.

(01:01:04):
You know, sort of be the hub ofa whole franchise and um, it's,
uh, I also, it's how I preparemy kids.
I'm like assume it's not goingto go your way and then, if it
does, you know, I don't know ifit's good parenting or not, but
it's a trick that I always usewhere I just say like okay, like
I'm not going to slide all mychips in and bank on like the
best possible outcome happeningbecause it so rarely does.

(01:01:26):
Ted then walks.
We cut to Ted walking outsidethrough the gates, through the
door that goes to the innards ofNelson Road, and he's out in
the parking lot where I mean somany things.
It's like when first we saw,kind of fell in love with Roy

(01:01:47):
and so many other great momentsin this parking lot and as he
walks past-.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
By the way, he also waited here for jamie.
When jamie tried, just forflash, we saw jamie's potential.
Uh, lasso away, goodness, butthe exact same configuration.
Now it's day.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Yes, exactly right, that's right.
Trent was waiting here andjamie almost got away with it
and then turned back and was atotal early, early era.
Jamie tart, that's right.
Um, and trent says what here?
Uh, coach coach lasso.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
And, uh, ted's excited.
Hey, there he is.
I was worried about you.
I thought you might have beenin a bike accident.
Which very specific thing tosay, um, but we understand why
he might've said thatspecifically.
And then, actually, I don'tknow how to ride a bicycle.
I didn't remember that linesignificant.
And then, really, thatsurprises me.

(01:02:46):
Why?
Because of the hair and thewhole vibe, yeah, I guess.
So why the heck weren't you atthe press conference?
Because I am no longer areporter.
I was fired.
When they found out I revealedan anonymous source.
Oh snap, I didn't say anything,I promise.
No, I know, ted, I did.
I'm looking for somethingdifferent.

(01:03:07):
Deeper says you got to followyour bliss, right, sorry, you're
out of a job.
You know what this makes you.
Now, though, right, trent cramindependent.
And then, uh, trent chucklesand says yeah, my father made
the same joke.
Um, and then the next line mademe laugh out loud, which was

(01:03:29):
yeah, he sounds like a cool guy.
No, he does not sound like acool guy, ted, he sounds.
He does not sound like a coolguy, ted.
He sounds like the fuckingopposite of a cool guy.
So I just, oh God, I love thisman.
It's so funny.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
It's so brutal.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Oh God awful.
Well, I hope our paths crossagain soon, trent, as do I, ted,
I love our chats.
He offers him a ride.
Well, I prefer to walk, but Iappreciate you and Ted, good
luck next season.
He calls after him, they partways and he goes to open.

(01:04:05):
And Trent goes to open his carand realizes he has locked
himself out of his car.
He's going nowhere Interestinghimself out of his car.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
He's going nowhere.
Interesting.
I mean I, I was like that issuch a weird cut, like what.
I was like what is thestatement why?
I was like they just needed anout and they're like, oh, maybe
he locked himself out of his car, like, okay, yeah, keep that.
I'm like what is?
Because?
Trend is like very, he's drawntight, like he's, he's, he's,
he's, he's not, he doesn't youknow, sort of present as a fuck

(01:04:40):
up.
Well, it's interesting.
Oh, now that he's not ajournalist, now everything's
going to fall apart.
For I was like what is well?

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
anyway, I don't, I'm not sure, I'm not sure about
that, but I but I'll, but I'll.
Sometimes I think we do thingsDespite ourselves and when you
know you forget something atsomeone's place, or this or that
, I think, we leave there andTrent Is at the moment unable to

(01:05:07):
leave Richmond behind.
I think that's an interestingpiece of writing, yeah that's
very interesting, I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Take quite a bit of writing.
Yeah, that's very interesting,I like that.
I like that take quite a bit.
I just thought it would havebeen like, oh, we would have cut
on.
Oh, why don't we get someIndian food, or why don't we
like?
Yeah, I'd like that, and then Ibelieve there's a hundred ways
to cut out of this, but then wego to black.
I Shit season's over.

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
Yeah, no, they just.
They really wanted you to knowabout Trent, what was happening
with him.
I would only like to brieflyI'm not going to relitigate any
of this I would like to brieflymention that reminded me a lot
of the line from Star Wars abouthow a lot of Bothan spies died
in order to get the Death Starplans out.
And when you make a sacrifice,the sacrifice needs to be

(01:05:52):
honored.
So ifrent was the one that gaveted the information and then
ratted himself out so that itwould be on the up and up.

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
I do feel like ted owed that information a bit more
than he did with it yeah, starwars rogue one huh, you know,
that's an interesting angle onthat part of the conversation
and I I hear what you're sayingabout not relitigating it, but I
do think.
But I'm gonna do it anyway no,no but no, but I drop in america

(01:06:23):
, but I think, ted, I think,yeah, I didn't think about it
that way, but is there a levelof it was done like almost like
in vain, like I told you whatwas happening, you allowed the
chaos to continue.
Trent must know that Nate wason the sideline today.

(01:06:44):
I mean, I don't know, I don'tget the sense from this exchange
that he's like what the fuck?
What's he still doing workinghere.
But I get what you're saying.
I think there's something there.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
I don't think it was expressed, but it felt that way
for me.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
So five days later, boss, five days later, and what
happens?

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
Um Keely is moving out of her office at Richmond in
order to go form her ownstartup and be the CEO.
Uh, roy walks in.
This is the last of it.
Uh, yeah, just these andTrixabel.
And he says right, I got you alast day working in the same
building, present here, and shesays airplane tickets, you got

(01:07:27):
me airplane tickets.
Uh, to Maribel, how did you getthese actually printed tickets?
She said for my travel agent,kathy.
She's old school, not like you,roy, not like having a travel
agent.
Definitely Kathy is the onethat's old school, not that's
really funny.
Roy, are you sure they stillTake paper tickets at airports?

(01:07:47):
Like is the plane going to havePropellers?
Oh my god, am I going to havepropellers?
Oh my god, am I going to beable to smoke on the flight
Right?
Stop it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
That was great.

Speaker 4 (01:07:56):
Yeah, that does, that's.
Funny.
That's very funny, I have seenJust flying in the past Flying
in the past you still shouldn'tsmoke on airplanes.
I can't believe they tell youto turn off your cell phones,
but they used to let you fuckingsmoke cigarettes on an airplane
.
It's fine, fine, whatever thatcell phone is it's a lie keep
going um, it's a lie, right,stop it.

(01:08:18):
You are missing the point.
Tomorrow, you and I are goingto a villa by the sea for six
weeks so you can chill outbefore you start kicking ass in
your new job.
And I'm going to take the firstholiday since I was a child
where I don't have to stay inshape or rehab my fucking knee.
I'm going to gorge myself todeath on tapas and it'll take

(01:08:41):
fucking ages.
And she says babe, thank you,but I can't go.
What?
Why not?
I don't start work in six weeks?
I started like a week ago.
And he says yeah, I know, that'swhy I made sure the place had
proper Wi-Fi and everything andyou could do your emails and
shit, but from the balcony witha sea view.

(01:09:01):
And she says Roy, I'd love to,but I can't.
I just can't, which is exactlywhat you want your partner to
say when you plan a an excitinggetaway.
We'll talk about this in asecond.
But maybe six weeks is a bitmuch, roy.
Maybe a weekend would have beena better way of starting A
little aggressive a littleaggressive a little aggressive,

(01:09:24):
Um.
But then she says but you shouldgo.
And he says are we breaking up?
And she says, no, why would yousay that?
Of course not.
You are going to take awell-earned holiday, while I
lock myself in a dark room andwork nonstop and I will see you
in six weeks.
And he says Keely.
And she says, Roy, I love you,We'll be fine, I'll see you in

(01:09:46):
six weeks.
It doesn't bode well for themactually seeing each other in
six weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
Well, it's interesting because I had a lot
of reactions to this, because Iremember I was more with Roy
emotionally, like I was feelinghis, I guess, because he's the
one that's hurting in the scene.
So I'm kind of like, oh no,emotionally, like I was feeling
his, I guess, because he's theone that's hurting in the scene.
So I'm kind of like, oh no, andand I got where he had been
already feeling, um, anxious orwhatever the right word is, and

(01:10:21):
this would only add to it.
Got that part.
I think it's a real, um, okay,I, I think it's a real, okay, I
think it is.
It says a lot about how much webring to conversations in terms
of what's being said to us andhow we process it.

(01:10:42):
That she could not say anythinghere that actually was going to
help him get rid of the anxiety.

Speaker 4 (01:10:50):
Yes, yeah, that's in the same way.
Right, get rid of the anxiety.
Yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
That's in the same way, right, she's crystal clear,
right, she's not.
Like you know what?
Why don't you go?
You know?
It's like I will see you in sixweeks, I love you.
Like it's all the right things,perfectly said, and he can't
hear it.
He's like, yeah, that's whatyou say now Interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:11:12):
Well, because I watch too much TV, I will say that
this was already cursed, becauseDiane Chambers said to Sam
Malone I'll see you in sixmonths.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
Is that real, that's real.

Speaker 4 (01:11:26):
Yeah, these bastards.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
They're so slick with it.
Oh my God.

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
Yeah, so we had.
We had to know that that wasnot going to be ideal.
It wasn't ideal Also that Royallowed his anxiety to convince
him to plan the six weekvacation without consulting her
or or without considering whatit does.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:11:53):
This was him saying I'm giving you this great thing.
Hang on, please.
Stay here, please.
And it's like no if you hadgiven her what she needed what
she needed was a little bit ofspace right now and your
security in the relationship.
I think it would have gone waybetter.

Speaker 2 (01:12:17):
I really love hearing both of you have have takes on
this.
I I was wounded because I waslike I thought roy did a really
good job.
I thought he put a lot ofeffort, he got the wi-fi.
He's like it's not like he'slike clueless about what she's
up to, but yet still, even withall that, she's like for
whatever reason, she just can't.
And I'm like man, that's likebecause he, he put the effort in
, he really thought about this.
Yeah, he, you know, found theright situation.

(01:12:37):
He's like you're just at yourdesk at home I know you started
already, but you don't have tobe here for this and then she's
like like it just was, it waslike a non-starter for her.
She's like, yeah, no, I can't.
I just in her mind, shecouldn't get past it.
And, and she gets, she has theright to you know well the
decision for herself.
Obviously she definitely hasthe right.
It felt like a rejection, right,I don't, certainly she didn't

(01:13:00):
mean it for for it to be arejection, but it's hard to.
It's actually like hyperrational.
Because she's like, well, no, Ican't, and that sucks.
I don't want to go into why.
There's like, well, no, I can't, and that sucks, I don't want
to go into why.
There's like a million reasons.
Maybe it's just she just can'tbecause mentally she needs to be
near Whatever, who knows, itdoesn't matter.
But she's like well, you shouldgo.
She doesn't want to limit him.
She's actually saying somethingkind to be starting this

(01:13:22):
business, but I don't know.
It's tough.
I know where he was hearing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
It definitely could be, because I felt from I think
in part it's funny.
I don't know that I was intouch with him until you just
said that, but there's so mucharound that I'm aware of around
women talking about the guyplanning things or thinking
through and, you know, it seemedlike he checked all the boxes,
like even when she said I'vebeen working for a week and he's

(01:14:00):
like I know, like it wasn'tlike you have, which I could
totally see happening even in asolid relationship.
So, yeah, I guess I was likeoof.
Looking at it now, I think Iwould have if I'm, you know, if
I'm a diamond dog and Roy bringsit to us, I think I say, well,

(01:14:21):
don't go, then you don't go.
Go when both of you can go.
Yeah, don't go alone and sitthere and be upset, or bring a
friend go alone and bring afriend, bring me.

Speaker 4 (01:14:34):
If I'm beard, I'm like I have six weeks yeah,
let's go have a romantic.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
He leaves the tickets on, yeah, yeah, he leaves the
tickets on the desk and growlsthe tricksy bell and I'm like,
wow, okay, that's the end of uh,season two.
But lo and behold, nope.
Now, three weeks later, this,this is a real, this is a like
in the in the industry.
These little car like this islike sort of a mark of shame I

(01:14:56):
don't know how to describe, butit's like you couldn't fit it
into the main narrative.
So now you're like, oh tack ona few extra bullshit things and
and every time.
So every time there's a new one,I my insides tense up.

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
I'm like yeah, I definitely had.
I definitely had some of that.
Like now you guys, you knowyou're not supposed to be doing
but yeah, it's fine, I love tedlasso, but yeah, I definitely
was aware that.
Like what do you mean?
Five weeks later, three weeks,what's going on here?

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
yeah, what and why is it different increment anyway.
So three weeks later coach whathappens here all right.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
So three weeks later, we fade up and sam obisanya is
staring at something, and thenthere's a woman standing next to
him.
She hands him some keys, hepulls out his phone and takes a
picture.
What, what's it going to be?
I want to know too.

(01:15:52):
What are we looking at?
A Nigerian restaurant.
Edwin Akufo planted a seed adifferent and it played out
different than he thought.
Instead of Sam having to gohome, he's going to bring a bit
of home to his new home, andthat's pretty powerful stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
So I thought I was like oh, and then, okay, that's
it for the season.
That's it, we go to black.
That's it for the season and nocode, is that?

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
wait.
Oh, I see, I see more words.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
I see more words on the screen oh no, it can't
possibly be so we, what do wejump?
Five weeks later, three.

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
Three weeks, then three weeks and now two months,
oh wait Five days, it can't bemonths.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
Five days, oh, no, five days, oh excuse me, then
the three weeks, three weeks Twomonths.

Speaker 4 (01:16:37):
Yes, Right.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
And here we go.
No, that can't be, that can'tbe.
Oh, okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
What coach?
So we get move.
I want to fast to move.
We've got players all in white.
It's all very orchestrated,very sharp players move when
they're told coaches arestanding and watching.
We've got one coach standing infaith.
Wait is that?
Wait is that rupert?
Rupert comes in and whispers towhoever is supervising all of
this, and this person, it's Nate.
Nate, the not very great, isnow coaching West Ham and we end

(01:17:21):
the season on a close-up ofNate's barely smirking face.
He is fully turned on the goodguys and he is totally on the
side of the dark forces.
Dark lord.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
Yeah, that is it.
There's no more leaps forwardin time, no more.
Eight years later, that is theend of season two of Ted Lasso.

Speaker 3 (01:17:55):
It was it was interesting in how you can get
things in it, because we were sohappy for Nate or I guess we
were supposed to be at the endat this point season one.
He's just become an assistantcoach.
I mean, players are actuallylike lifting him up.
There's a whole elaborate, youknow prank to bring back our

(01:18:16):
April Fool's theme.
There's this whole elaborateprank to get him and tell him
about his promotion.
And how far is that from wherewe land now that he has
completely betrayed everythingRichmond stands for and is, uh,
working for Rupert?

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
That's how.
That's how coach is going to doit with the, with the black
star, la black star, you'regoing to betray everything.
Oh yeah, you wait and see.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
You wait and see.

Speaker 4 (01:18:47):
What else is why?
Why even have a team if you'renot going to betray it?
That's the best part aboutsports, just loving the shit out
of something for you know like5, 6 decades, and then being
like nah, fuck it, I'm justgoing to get a due team, I'm
just going to roll.
I don't know, are the Yankeesgood?

(01:19:07):
Maybe I'll be a fan of that.
Are the Yankees good?

Speaker 3 (01:19:09):
Maybe I'll be a fan of that.
Are the Yankees good?
That's funny.
That's funny I am, so I'm sotrue to like my own rules around
teams.
So I officially put the Knicksdown because I root for Nick,
since I was like a little kidLike when basketball players
were wearing the short shortsI'm talking about Trent Tucker,
roy Sparrow, google it, kids.
Basketball players were wearingthe short shorts.

(01:19:30):
I'm talking about Trent Tucker,rory Sparrow, google it, kids.
And I, finally, with their newownership, or with the ownership
with James Dolan, was like Ican't, I can't be a part of this
anymore.
So I put them down and they arepresently on an amazing run and
I am so happy for every singleKnicks fan that has suffered and
gone through this, but I havemade it clear Like I cannot hop

(01:19:53):
back on now.
He's still the owner.
I said I'm out, I'm happy fory'all, but I'm not a Knicks fan
right now.
I just can't, I can't do it.
I cannot do it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
So yeah we all have our rules.
We all have our rules.
No, I like it.
Yeah, no, it's got to feelright.
Especially, it doesn't feelright to root for a team, of all
things.
It's so.
It's such a construct to rootfor sports or whatever, to jump

(01:20:24):
on a bandwagon if your heart'snot in it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:27):
Now I'm going to jump around and go oh yeah, no, but
I'm happy for them that I'm gladfor them I like sports, I like
sport, sport, I like sport.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
Yep, how do?

Speaker 4 (01:20:40):
you do about math?

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
I can't get enough.
Yeah, there you go.
Uh, not as much into math.
Actually I have a.
I have a much largerappreciation for maths since I
had a child who likes the maths.
He was a math prodigy and hasexplained it to me in a way that
I finally understand maths forthe first time in my 50s.

(01:21:02):
It's crazy, they don't do agood job teaching maths.
My son always laughs about.
He did this great video wherehe's like I know everybody hates
math, but can you just not hatemath?
Please don't hate math.
He's like math is great, mathis the language of the universe.
When they put you in school andthey cram you into a corner

(01:21:23):
with math and they go oh, you'regoing to like math, you're
going to learn math, math isimportant.
He's like that's not math, math, that's society.
You want to be mad at society?
That's fine, don't be mad atmath.

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
Math is beautiful.
That's great.
I love.
I love every.
I love every bit of that.
I love every.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
I don't know if I ever shared that video with you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:42):
Coach it is no, I don't know that it was just like
he got frustrated one day andmade this little video.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
Uh, that's really, really great um, yeah, no, I, I
love it.
I love sports.
I love Ted Lasso, always willlove Ted Lasso.
This is it for our coverage ofTed Lasso.
This is our last official TedLasso.
I never was certain that wewould get here to this moment,

(01:22:09):
was certain that we would gethere to this moment.
Coach and boss, I want to thankyou for all of the hours.
I mean.
Luckily we got Rich off thispodcast.
Thank God, I was so tired ofbeing nice to people Made a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:22:25):
I'll never wait for anyone again.
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:22:29):
Can you imagine?
I mean, that's the point.
No, for those.
All we do is lose money, but welove it.
We love it.
It's worth it.
The people we've met make itall worth it.
Someday, maybe we'll break evenwith this podcast.
We are not vanishing.
We will finish up Wayne.
We have a couple episodes ofWayne the best probably two

(01:22:51):
episodes.
Oh man, I cannot wait for Bossand Coach to see these two
episodes.
It's not what you think.
And yeah, I want to thankeveryone.
So many of you have been withus from the very beginning,
suffering through Boss's laugh,which is you know Horrific.

(01:23:11):
Yeah, horrific, yeah.
And you know putting up with,you know Coach is.
Let's face it, he's a hard manto like.
You don't naturally gravitatetoward him.
He's not just a lot of funsmart, funny, engaging.
I've been so honored to spendthis time with Emily and with

(01:23:35):
Orlando.
It is one of the greatest sortof vocational things I've ever
been part of.
It really means the world torespect the people you work with
, and that extends to the familythat we've built here on the
podcast, our buttercups.
Everyone that listens.
There are so many of you thatare just out there listening

(01:23:58):
every single episode, no matterwhat we're talking about.
Sometimes we have very specialepisodes.
Sometimes it's Ted Lasso,sometimes it's Wayne.
We have other shows coming up,but no matter what, we have a
diehard audience all over theworld, which is crazy.
We thought if we had like 200total downloads in the beginning

(01:24:19):
, we would have been thrilled.
We're counting ours in thehundreds of thousands now, so it
just defies logic.
But we're glad that we struck anerve.
We're so happy and honored thatyou've taken any time of your
day to have us in it and ifwe've done anything to improve

(01:24:41):
your life with a laugh here andthere or maybe an insight into
something you hadn't thought ofwith one of the shows we cover.
That's incredibly gratifyingfor us.
Thank you, we really mean itfrom the bottom of our hearts.
We are not going away.
We will be back.
We have so much more comingdown the pike, but I want to say
a heartfelt thank you to thepeople who have stuck with us.

(01:25:05):
It means everything to us.
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
Go ahead, coach.
No, no, us okay.
Uh, go ahead, coach.
No, no, I didn't know if you, Ididn't.
I didn't know if you werepassing it or if that was.
So I I just, um, quickly wantto say, for those of you who may
be going through this, uh, youknow, long after we've recorded,
or after we've recorded orplaying catch up, um, obviously
maybe a tad confused and nothave picked up on the fact that
we are finishing season two,there is a season three, but

(01:25:37):
it's the end of our recording ofthis.
Um, but I did want to call outcoach, uh, because we give him
really at least his share ofshit and I would.
I don't know that I ever wouldhave.
Well, maybe eventually when itbecame like a big sensation, but
I certainly wouldn't have knownabout Ted Lasso when I did, if

(01:25:57):
coach doesn't immediately,knowing me and knowing what I
believe in and knowing what I'mabout, doesn't call me and say
you have to watch this and youhave to watch this now.
And the timing was amazing, Iso needed it.
I've talked about that in theseason one recordings and, yeah,
this has been a blast.

(01:26:18):
I actually discovered somethings about myself in this
process and I'm really enjoyingdoing this.
So thanks, coach, thank you,coach.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
We learned a lot about Boss too.
None of it was fun.
No, I'm just here, to watchpeople.

Speaker 3 (01:26:29):
The Blood Guy thing was pretty fun.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
I gotta say that was pretty fun okay, well, there was
a yeah, the blood guy wasn'tbad everything else was terrible
.
