Episode 118: TED LASSO S02E01 "Goodbye Earl"

[01:00:07] just like, what position does your mother play? And you know, you shouldn't be leaving early and

[01:00:11] blah, blah, blah, blah. And Ted is just like, okay, all right, all right, Will, have a wonderful

[01:00:17] time, blah, blah, blah. We'll see you later. And you see Nate kind of like look at Ted and

[01:00:21] bristle a little bit. And I look, I turned to Dave in that moment and I said, this, this is where it

[01:00:27] starts right here. This is where it starts is that he's mad because Ted just undermined him and

[01:00:33] embarrassed him in front of the new guy, the new kitman who he thought he had authority over and

[01:00:38] finds out that he does not have authority over him because Ted is top dog.

[01:00:43] But it's also kind of ignorant of Nate to think that he has authority supersedes Ted's.

[01:00:48] 100% 100%. You know, like that's a totally ignorant thought of Nate's to think that

[01:00:54] that he has more authority than Ted does. But insecure people are just like that. You know,

[01:01:00] they want to test to see where they are to see if they do have any power and maybe they do think

[01:01:05] that they do have power in this situation. And they're reminded that they don't and then embarrassment

[01:01:11] comes in and then resentment comes in and anger comes in. You know, I mean, you see all of those

[01:01:16] tenants happening in this one scene, you know, and it's very, very, very nuanced. But

[01:01:23] I'm excited to see what other small moments we see building up to this final confrontation that

[01:01:29] he does have with Ted at the end of the season. And that confrontation, I actually went and

[01:01:35] watched that confrontation just because I wanted to be reminded of the things that Nate said,

[01:01:41] because I wanted to be able to keep an eye out for it as I was watching. So that's a good

[01:01:45] pickup, the fact that he you can kind of see him feel a little undermined. Right. And which

[01:01:51] leads us into it. But the other thing I noticed too, when I went and I watched that is in the finale,

[01:01:57] we see, you know, now in the premiere, we saw it in the finale last season and then in the premiere of

[01:02:02] this one, how Nate is wearing the suit and the shirt and tie underneath in the finale before Nate,

[01:02:11] when they go out on the field, Nate's wearing a full suit. He's not wearing Richmond colors

[01:02:16] at all. He's wearing a black suit and tie. He has distanced himself from the team.

[01:02:23] And it is before he even goes off on Ted. He is wearing that. He has shed his skin

[01:02:32] at that point. Yeah, he's literally at that point, at that point, because he had the game winning,

[01:02:39] the game winning play, and he was the wunderkind or whatever.

[01:02:46] You know, I think that in that moment, he's probably thinking he is the coach. He is top dog. You know,

[01:02:52] this is his team. And that's the delusion, right? Delusions of grander. That's, that's, you know,

[01:02:59] Nate is completely off the rails at that point. Yeah. Like I said, like taking off, not wearing the

[01:03:05] AFC uniform or coaching uniform, Nate shed his skin. He's become the snake underneath.

[01:03:12] I'm wondering if, and I might go back and check if in the final episode of season three, the

[01:03:18] final episode of the series, if he is in just a regular. He's back to kit clothes.

[01:03:26] Right back to kit clothes, but no suit underneath is what I'm saying.

[01:03:29] If I remember correctly, there's not he is back to, because I think he is a kit man again.

[01:03:36] He's a kit man, but for that final game, he actually is promoted back to assistant coach.

[01:03:42] Is he? Because I don't remember him being promoted back to coach.

[01:03:45] I do. Okay. No, fair enough. I probably just probably forgot. Yeah.

[01:03:51] Um, let's, let's talk about the, the elephant in the room. There's one line in this episode

[01:04:00] that the moment I heard it, I was like, holy shit. Do it, do it. And it is the line when Ted is

[01:04:07] talking to beard, when he says, hold on, I, because I have it, I think I have it written down exactly

[01:04:14] what he says. Um, oh, no, I don't have it written down, but he makes mention that the therapist,

[01:04:23] that him and Michelle go to for marriage counseling is a therapist. Michelle has already been seeing

[01:04:30] for a while. This whole thing with her ending up dating that therapist, knowing now, because I

[01:04:39] don't think I ever picked up on that the first time that Michelle had already been seeing this

[01:04:44] therapist. Yeah. That was her therapist. That wasn't their marriage therapist. See,

[01:04:48] I thought it was just their marriage there. No. This whole thing makes her dating him even more

[01:04:56] disgusting. Agreed. So to anybody who sent us feedback, Greg,

[01:05:03] they almost said Greg at the same time as you defending like that relationship or whatever.

[01:05:11] This was planned. No, fuck that. This doctor broke up their marriage to be with her. Yeah.

[01:05:18] I don't care what anybody says. He is the reason they are not married. Yes. I 100% agree. Yeah,

[01:05:27] absolutely. And, and he said, I felt like I was being set up. Well, you were being set up. Yeah.

[01:05:33] You were 100% being set up. And so the fact that he even, he came to England, he took her to Paris,

[01:05:40] he like, of course, he knows all this about her too, because she's probably said, my dream is to go

[01:05:47] to Paris in, in therapy. You know, Ted never took me to Paris. Probably not only that, but like,

[01:05:53] it's just disgusting as a therapist. Oh, it's, it's all kinds of wrong. He could have reported him.

[01:06:01] Ted could have reported him and he could have lost his license. Yeah. And he is damn lucky that Ted

[01:06:06] is the person that he is. Yeah. And how many times does this even happen? I'm sure this happens a lot,

[01:06:13] which is even grosser. Yeah. It's like a teacher dating a student. So unethical. Yeah, it's, it's

[01:06:21] unethical is like the least word. It's like, it's fucking disgusting. But like, yes, I like,

[01:06:28] I don't care what anybody says now at this point, defending Michelle or anything like that. Like,

[01:06:34] this, this doctor, and I don't even remember the doctor's name now at this point, because I choose

[01:06:39] Dr. Who gives a fuck. Exactly. The seeds were planted by him that this, they should have gone

[01:06:48] to a completely different therapist for marriage. Yeah. Because this guy undermined Ted the whole

[01:06:55] time. Ted's fear and rationale that he felt like he was being undermined is 100% valid.

[01:07:03] And you can see why he is so upset and jumpy around Dr. Sharon. Yeah. Yeah. His life was smashed to

[01:07:12] pieces by this therapist of Michelle's. And now he has something that he is building,

[01:07:19] something he believes in, something that he is spearheading. And what happens,

[01:07:24] therapist comes in and starts fixing things. This is his marriage again. Mm hmm. I, it's, it's just,

[01:07:32] when you know the whole story and you watch this again, you're totally team Ted. Yeah. You know,

[01:07:38] 100% watching. And I love it because we're watching it through the lens of Ted this entire time.

[01:07:47] And I just, I'm so glad that it is, that the show is from his perspective. It's not from

[01:07:54] Beards. It's not from Nates. It's not from, you know, even Rebecca's. It is strictly from Ted's

[01:08:00] point of view. And that I think is why the show works as well as it does. Yeah.

[01:08:08] I apologize to Greg for calling him out because I know I'll hear it, but it's fine.

[01:08:16] Greg, I love you, but you were dead wrong in that. Please don't stop sending feedback.

[01:08:21] It is, it is just, when I heard that line, that kind of just snapped in me, like, it's, it snapped

[01:08:30] a realization in me like, yeah, this guy's been undermining their marriage the whole time. This

[01:08:37] guy has been planting seeds. He, he saw a woman who was his patient that he grew an interest in,

[01:08:45] to undermine that marriage so that he could date this woman. Right.

[01:08:53] So sorry. If that was, Kristin was, Kristin was so unnerved by it that her microphone just fell

[01:08:57] over. It did. This fell right over. So the moment I brought that up, I was like, I know Kristin's

[01:09:05] gonna want to talk about this deal. Yeah, of course. It was like one of my first notes.

[01:09:10] It's what I've been talking about. Yeah. So yeah, that was, it's a little unnerving, but

[01:09:17] like, I'm standing by it now. Like, no. Yeah. Every time I see his stupid face, I get mad.

[01:09:28] I agree. Yep. So, uh, all right. So we are now officially back from spoilers.

[01:09:37] Let's talk about the quotes because there's a lot of them. There's a number of quotes that I just

[01:09:43] couldn't help laugh at. I'm starting right from the beginning. The first quote in this,

[01:09:49] in this episode that made me laugh was right after Danny kicks the kick and kills poor Earl Greyhound

[01:09:57] and Nate is just, oh my God, I promise that's not what I wished for.

[01:10:02] I mean, it goes to opening credits.

[01:10:07] Oh, God. I really enjoyed the one where Ted walks in to Rebecca's office and Rebecca wanted

[01:10:17] Keeley to be there and he goes, I haven't seen someone that disappointed to see me since I

[01:10:20] wore a red ball cap to a Planned Parenthood fundraiser. I have that as one of mine as well.

[01:10:28] Yeah. Like, you like poke and fun at conservatives so much in that life.

[01:10:32] Not conservatives, but maggots. Yeah, maggots. Yeah, because there are conservatives out there

[01:10:39] that are normal, decent human beings. Normal, decent human beings. Yes. And then there are maggots.

[01:10:46] I mentioned the Miss Bowen quote already. You mentioned that one.

[01:10:51] So, there's a little bit of a nod in this episode through a line. And I wonder if,

[01:10:56] how many people pick up on it because of the nod is.

[01:11:00] There's the, when Rebecca, when Ted first walks into Rebecca's office the first time and Higgins

[01:11:06] and Keeley, they're all in there having drinks. And he comes in and says, howdy, y'all. And everybody's

[01:11:11] like, Ted, that is absolutely a nod to Cheers. Yep. And Norm, because George Went is Jason

[01:11:20] Sudeikis his uncle. Seriously? Yes. George Went who plays Norm in Cheers is Sudeikis his uncle

[01:11:30] in real life. You seem shocked by this. I never knew that. Yeah. That George Went and Jason Sudeikis

[01:11:43] are related. Trying to put those two together. I can't. Like, what recessive gene went wrong.

[01:11:50] I just, there's, I cannot put those two together. But that is a total nod to Cheers and Norm.

[01:11:58] Okay. Oh, I love that. Because of their relation. I love that. That's awesome.

[01:12:03] I also like in that scene, Danny's a lot like an expensive tape measure. He snaps right back quick.

[01:12:08] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He snaps right back quick. I do like that. Yeah. I've said a lot of my quotes already.

[01:12:16] Um, let's see. What are some of the other ones? You mentioned that one.

[01:12:21] We mentioned the pricks. I know I have more. Um, Ted says when, when, when Ted walks into Rebecca's

[01:12:29] office door in the, the conversation of girl talk and he's like, oh, I wish you were Keeley and Ted's

[01:12:34] like, I wish I was Keeley three or four times a day. Three or four times a day.

[01:12:39] I love, I love when they're talking, when Ted and Roy or Ted and coach are talking,

[01:12:47] Ted and beer and talking about something and nobody understands them and Ted turns the

[01:12:51] coaches like sometimes living here's like living in a foreign country. Yeah. Which is so funny

[01:12:57] because they aren't a foreign country. I know. But which is the joke. I, I realize that. But it's,

[01:13:02] it's funny that, you know, we were like, Oh, you speak English there? Then you're just like us.

[01:13:07] No, no, very not true. Um, I do like the, the one where I said, hold on a second,

[01:13:14] his name is John Wingsnight, like at a sports bar, like Monday night's Wingsnight down at PJ

[01:13:19] Flats like that. Ted, would you please stop? Rule number one, even though it's called girl talk,

[01:13:24] sometimes needs to be more like girl, listen. Yeah. Um, the other, I have two more. Um, they both

[01:13:32] happen in the same scene. Actually, they're pretty back to back. Um, oh, no, there's a couple

[01:13:36] from this scene because I have another one too. Um, shame what happened to Earl, him and his owner

[01:13:42] Nigel used to come in here all the time. Then he started shitting and pissing all over the place.

[01:13:46] Yeah, that's pretty common with older dogs. No, I'm talking about Nigel.

[01:13:53] Oh, that love may. Um, and then immediately following, uh, was hate coach. Can I get real

[01:13:59] a second? Forget my meal a second, put down your beer and tell your buddy how you feel a second.

[01:14:06] But my other favorite line from that scene too is, um, beer talking to tennis says,

[01:14:12] do you remember what you said when I got dumped by that cruise ship dancer? And I said, I would

[01:14:16] never date another dancer again. Can I have your tap shoes? Oh, I'm going to sneeze again. Oh, well,

[01:14:26] fair enough. Get it out. Nice. Sorry. Um, I do like, we've got a situation coach. He's underselling.

[01:14:35] We have a Shakespearean fucking tragedy. That's a good one too. Well, a lot more stumped

[01:14:40] in Paul Bunyan's local forest. Uh, let's see. Uh, wow, we're watching the end of someone's career.

[01:14:47] Not now, Jan. Not now, Jan. Is Tom Cruise with a little ponytail? No, I think you're thinking about

[01:14:54] the last samurai. He's got a little tiny ponytail magnolia too. Coach, thank you coach. My apologies,

[01:14:59] Annie. Tom Cruise was rocking a little tiny ponytail and booked those films.

[01:15:04] There's a, there, this isn't really a quote, but there is another nod to another movie in this

[01:15:08] episode. And it's a movie that it's like, it's not a great movie, but I love the nod to it.

[01:15:15] It's the scene where they're trying to, before they bring in Dr. Sharon, Ted pools Danny aside,

[01:15:23] and it's when they're walking over to the corner. That's right when you said that line. Um,

[01:15:28] and he tells Danny, like, you know, kick this corner, kick it, help you get comfortable.

[01:15:32] And he kind of steps forward a little bit and kind of off the side. And it's the scene where

[01:15:36] Danny kicks the ball and hits Ted in the air. Hilarious, hilarious, but he says to Danny,

[01:15:41] like be the ball, Danny, be the ball. That is a total nod to catty shack two.

[01:15:47] Which again, is not a great movie at all. Is it not a great movie like the Last Supper is not a

[01:15:54] great movie? Oh God. Uh, no, because I will watch catty shack two again. Hey, you watch Last Supper

[01:16:03] twice. All right. I know. Oh man, we'll talk about that in recommendations. Um,

[01:16:11] um, any quote, any more quotes or anything, anything we've said most of them.

[01:16:19] All right. Let's dive into some feedback then for the episode in which we got a couple.

[01:16:25] Uh, we got some stuff from Facebook. We got a couple, we got an email and a couple of voicemails

[01:16:30] as well. So let's start with some of the, uh, the Facebook feedback. Um, I'll kick it off with

[01:16:38] the first one and then you can go into the second one. That one. Yeah. Uh, so the first one comes from

[01:16:43] Kirk Manley, which I'm very excited to see Kirk leave feedback for the podcast, which is great.

[01:16:48] Thank you, Kirk. Kirk is an amazing artist. Who I recommend you check out if you have an

[01:16:53] opportunity. Uh, but Kirk says Ted Lasso might just be the best TV ever produced in my opinion.

[01:17:00] Uh, season one was better, I think than season two, but I enjoyed them both more than any other

[01:17:05] TV I can remember. Watching the show always made me want to work harder at being a good person,

[01:17:10] a positive person, and someone who supports others. I'm sure I'm failing epically. Uh,

[01:17:17] but it was nice to be motivated that way by a piece of art. Hope you guys have a blast casting

[01:17:23] about season two. I will try to check out some episodes, uh, signed, uh, AKA, Kirk Manley.

[01:17:30] Thank you, Kirk. I very much, and I have a piece of his artwork, actually, um,

[01:17:35] I do too in my house. So yeah, I do as well. I know a number of our friends have some Kirk Manley

[01:17:41] uh, artwork, which is good. Yes, I only have one. Um, but I love it. And I'm still trying to

[01:17:48] figure out how to get it framed because it's, uh, the walker stalker, um, from when we were all

[01:17:52] there the last time we were all there. Um, um, like 2018, 2019, something like that.

[01:17:58] But, um, it's two pieces that go together into one. And it's really, really nice. So I want to

[01:18:05] get a nice double frame for it, where it's like kind of close together, but still separated and

[01:18:09] matted. I think it'll be really nice, but I'm gonna have to go to Michaels and have a custom made

[01:18:15] and yeah, probably. Yeah. And that just gets pricey. Yes. Yes. I mean, trust me, I have a whole wall

[01:18:23] of artwork. So I've spent my share of Michaels frames, but most of the stuff is already like

[01:18:29] customs. It's already like pre size. So I haven't had to do the custom thing yet. Yeah. Mine is mine

[01:18:35] will be that that particular one, the way that I want it framed will have to be custom.

[01:18:41] So I have so much artwork. I haven't even framed yet. Um, that is pretty much sitting here waiting

[01:18:48] for my studio to be like a permanent fixture in my apartment. Yeah. So when that happens,

[01:18:53] there will be so much more artwork going up. But anyway, we're getting up. You digress. Yeah,

[01:18:58] I digress. All right, Lindsey schlick. Hi, Lindsey. It speaks how much it speaks to how much I love

[01:19:06] this show when an episode can include dog death. And I don't immediately turn it off and say,

[01:19:11] never again, girl, I am with you. I almost turned off John Wick. Um, but I didn't. You did well in

[01:19:20] knots. Yeah. Because that is if you are an animal person, you need to watch John Wick.

[01:19:27] Okay. Sorry. I still hated it, but at least I could also continue watching red baseball cap to a

[01:19:33] Planned Parenthood fundraiser almost made me choke on my coffee. These little one liners are gold.

[01:19:40] A few more hints of Nate's nasty side in this episode. Besides Rupert, he's the one character

[01:19:45] on the show I really just don't care for. Roy's don't you dare settle for fine. It's one of the

[01:19:50] best speeches of the series. I love Rebecca's shocked look. Keely was definitely impressed too.

[01:19:56] Roy is absolutely my favorite character. You know, I agree, Lindsey, I think that that speech is

[01:20:03] one of one of the best, if not the best speech of the series. Because I think it's really a call to

[01:20:09] action for a lot of women is that so many women settle because we have been conditioned to think

[01:20:15] that we're not going to be any good without, you know, a man or a partner. And I love it that in

[01:20:23] recent years, women are breaking out of that mold. And I think that that's really great

[01:20:28] to see. However, there's still a lot of that stigma that's left. Um, you know, my daughter,

[01:20:34] the other day, we're driving and we were talking about Disney movies and she goes,

[01:20:37] Mom, I have not seen like any Disney Disney movies. I go because most of them are princesses

[01:20:43] that are told that they cannot amount to anything unless they find their prints. And I started saying,

[01:20:48] you know, Snow White has us some day my prints will come. Um, I think that that's what it is. Yeah,

[01:20:55] I'm wishing for the one I love to find me. You know, you have Cinderella who, you know, is in a bad

[01:21:01] way until her Prince Charming comes and whisks her away with a glass slipper. I said, you know,

[01:21:05] that's just garbage. Um, you know, you saw frozen because frozen was about sisters. You saw

[01:21:11] tangled because tangled was about a woman who got out of her own mess. You know, you love,

[01:21:17] you love Star Wars because Princess Leia is a boss. And she looks at me and she goes,

[01:21:24] thank you so much for never showing me those movies. And I was like, yes.

[01:21:29] And I was, it's funny because when you were talking about all these different movies,

[01:21:32] I really do agree with you. I think frozen is really the one that kind of broke the stigma a

[01:21:36] little bit because there's even a lot of four frozen and tangled is higher on the list than frozen

[01:21:42] for me. I love tangled. Oh, tangled is, I think my favorite. I tell people all the time tangled is

[01:21:48] better than frozen. I mean, I can watch tangled over and I have, I have tangled was the one DVD that

[01:21:56] we had in our car. So I love, I love that movie. I mean, I like that. I'm a big,

[01:22:03] exactly by fan. So like that was what drew me to it. But well, and Mandy Moore is perfect.

[01:22:07] Mandy Moore is great for it. But but yeah, like those two movies really broke the stigma.

[01:22:12] I mean, there's even a line in, in frozen where, you know, after Anna meets Hans,

[01:22:17] like, and like Elsa tells her, like, you don't have to marry the guy that you just met. Like,

[01:22:23] like those movies really broke the stigma about it. And then even

[01:22:29] she's not really a princess, but there's a scene in Ralph breaks the internet with,

[01:22:37] I think the character's name is Penelope. Yeah, I only see that movie once.

[01:22:42] There's a scene where she's in the room with all the Disney princesses. Yeah. And it's,

[01:22:48] it's hysterical. Yeah, I do remember that. I do. Even, I mean, even Jasmine from Aladdin was,

[01:22:55] you know, I mean, she was the first one that I think was like, I don't need no man, but she did.

[01:23:02] You know, she still did in the end. Yeah, she still did in the end. Yes. She needed to be saved,

[01:23:07] you know, and I just, it's years of that kind of conditioning for girls. And so it's nice to see

[01:23:16] that everywhere you look, women are now, women and girls are being empowered to be their own

[01:23:22] people and to, and to take charge of their own identities. And I think that this speech really

[01:23:27] resonates with that. And he's saying this to two very strong women and these women feel empowered

[01:23:34] and they also see that they have, they have people around them that take up for their cause. And it's

[01:23:42] not a very in-your-face kind of speech about that per se, but it is at the same time. And Roy,

[01:23:49] or Bernstein, Stan, no, Carl, no, Ron. What do you, what is, what is Roy Kent's name?

[01:24:04] Oh, Brett Goldstein. Oh, thank you, Brett Goldstein. Oh my gosh. I was like, what are you getting at?

[01:24:09] A brain fart on that one. But Brett Goldstein just delivers that speech with such perfection.

[01:24:15] So I'm, I agree, Lindsey. Basically, that was my really, really long version of saying, yes, girl.

[01:24:24] Which speaking of Brett Goldstein, I am incredibly excited because he has been touring for a while.

[01:24:32] And I audibly yelled when I found out he was coming to my area. Oh, I got a ticket.

[01:24:38] Jill got tickets. I know she did. Because she asked, she's like, when's your show? And

[01:24:42] she's like, my show's in March. I'm like, well, mine's in January. So, and it sold out

[01:24:49] within, I think, in like two or three hours, it sold out. And so much so that they added a second show.

[01:24:59] Good. Which, look, I'm going to give you a little insight to stuff like that when they say like,

[01:25:06] oh, sold out so fast, so much popular to make me already a second show. That second show was

[01:25:11] already on the schedule. They just didn't announce it because they want to make sure that first show

[01:25:18] sells out. Yeah. Very. They weren't just going to be like, hey, it's so popular, Brett. Can you do

[01:25:24] another show? No, it was already there. So it, uh, yeah.

[01:25:38] Dog was sitting here just scratching at the door and barking the whole time. I didn't even hear

[01:25:43] the dog barking. That's good. Then my micro, my, you know, eight year old microphone is doing really well.

[01:25:48] All right. Um, okay. All right. So we still have an email as well. I'm going to let you do this one

[01:25:58] too. Okay, because it's from my husband. Yes. Okay. All right. So this one is from Dave. You hear

[01:26:07] about him a lot. Okay. He says greetings all before we get into get goodbye Earl. I wanted to

[01:26:12] mention something I noticed while listening to the season one finale when Jamie holds his army

[01:26:17] man that he's got along with the note from Ted. We see it's the one with binoculars.

[01:26:21] I believe Ted chose this one for Jamie because the one with binos is most likely the lieutenant,

[01:26:27] the leader of the pack of army men. He has a sidearm, not a rifle, and he's looking and he's

[01:26:32] holding the binos. I think it's indicative of Ted's desire and belief that Jamie can be a leader,

[01:26:37] just my two cents. I see that on to goodbye Earl. Nate is a great example of what happens to some

[01:26:46] people when they get a little juice, they treat people below them like shit. As Sirius Black said,

[01:26:51] if you want to know what a man is like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors,

[01:26:56] not his equals. Of course, Sirius goes on to verbally abuse, abuse,

[01:27:01] creature, the house elf, but still, Nate is such a dick to will. We're starting to see who he really

[01:27:07] is. Love the intro of yawn, the Dutch player, who is a dick, who is a dick, not a dick. Keep up the

[01:27:13] strong work. I love that we're finally like, I know Dave's a huge fan of huge fan of Ted Lasso.

[01:27:22] Huge fan, yeah. And I love that he's like actually listening to us now and he's starting to leave

[01:27:27] feedback. It's, you know, it's fun. He's totally into it. Like, as much as he didn't like lost,

[01:27:32] he loves lasso. Like loves lasso. Yeah. Last night. Last night, I was just as an aside,

[01:27:41] I was talking to another teacher at my old school that I just stopped working where I just stopped

[01:27:49] working. We were at a basketball game and we were talking about cruise lines. I said, yeah, my mom

[01:27:54] is on a cruise and she went on the Oceana cruise, right? Oceana. And she goes, oh, I don't go on

[01:28:01] anything that's named anything close to Oceanic. I go, oh, yeah, Oceana 815. I go if it was Oceana

[01:28:07] cruise line, I'd go on going for 815, 16, 22, like over and over while like blasting it all

[01:28:15] with holy water. She goes, okay, just the fact that you just said all those things, you're my new

[01:28:19] favorite person. And I said, and so Danny's sitting next to me, she goes, you should listen to her lost

[01:28:24] podcast. And she looks at me, she goes, you have a podcast, Danny has turned into my hype man.

[01:28:31] That's awesome. I would, man, if there was an Oceana cruise line, I would go on it too,

[01:28:36] but I would purposely make sure my cabin number was one of the numbers.

[01:28:41] Oh, well, I think that I think that a lot of people would feel that way. Like a lost themed

[01:28:48] cruise ship would be phenomenal. Yeah, I would go smoke monster that comes out like every day at the

[01:28:56] same hour. It's just a fog machine. Like, yeah, just like a fog like tinted fog. Everybody comes

[01:29:02] in with like, it looks like Mascara's running down like their face all the time.

[01:29:07] I would go on that. I would go on that. But thank you to Dave and Lindsey and of course,

[01:29:15] cork, cork, cork. You messed it up. You're stupid.

[01:29:20] It.

[01:29:27] But we have a couple of voicemails to play as well, starting first with Jason. So let's play that now.

[01:29:36] He starts with, I've been in Kristin. This is Jason in San Jose and I am back finally to leave

[01:29:43] feedback for season two of Ted Lasso. I've been easing up on my recording schedule for my weekly

[01:29:48] recovery podcast during the holidays and consequently, recording feedback for the

[01:29:54] revisited podcast. Life has been quite hectic at work and at home. And in all honesty, I have

[01:30:00] been dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety lately, thankfully, none of which is tied to the

[01:30:08] holidays. And by the way, I did watch Hannah wadding in home for Christmas and hope to hear

[01:30:15] your thoughts on the show. So before we're getting to this week's episode, I did want to

[01:30:19] comment on the last few from season one. Ted Lasso has been one of those go to shows for me

[01:30:26] when I'm feeling the anxiety creep back in. So I am so grateful to be rewatching this now.

[01:30:33] I did also want to talk about Rebecca's arc in season one. I love the episode All Apologies

[01:30:40] and this really ties into 12 step recovery in making amends for our harms caused. And that is

[01:30:46] steps eight and nine. It was so incredibly touching to hear Ted say, I forgive you. That was so

[01:30:54] beautiful. And yeah, that moment brought some tears to my eyes. And after watching the finale a

[01:31:00] few weeks ago, I just had to watch the first few minutes of season two, and was really hoping to

[01:31:06] lead feedback for that. But like I had mentioned, I wasn't really filling up to being behind the

[01:31:11] microphone and providing feedback to get that recorded on time. So I am here this week with

[01:31:19] goodbye Earl. My wife and I had just gotten into the show and binge the first season a week before

[01:31:27] season two was about to start. And so we watched season two episode by episode. And this one was a

[01:31:35] great way to ease back into the story. And I just felt so sorry for Danny Rojas. Anyway,

[01:31:43] I love the new edition of Dr. Sharon to the team and the way therapy will play out over the season

[01:31:50] and no spoilers here. But yeah, it was interesting for me rewatching this, seeing Ted's reaction to

[01:31:58] adding a therapist. And the first time I had watched it, I didn't really take into consideration

[01:32:04] that his wife was having an affair with their therapist. And that might cause some problems

[01:32:11] in Ted's mind. But on this rewatch, it all of a sudden made sense. And I love the way that Dr. Sharon

[01:32:18] addressed Ted asking him if he was good at his job. And her reply that she is twice as good at hers.

[01:32:27] I really love the dynamics between these two. I cannot wait to move on to the rest of season

[01:32:33] two. I'm really looking forward to it. Every watch this season once before. And it has been a while.

[01:32:40] So I'm excited to see what's coming up. So until then, this has been Jason and San Jose. Namaste,

[01:32:50] baby.

[01:32:56] Thank you for that, Jason. And yeah, we talked a little bit about that already about seeing things

[01:33:01] a little differently now hearing that conversation with coach with Ted and Beard in the pub about

[01:33:07] his being feeling like railroaded with the therapy. So it's nice to see other people are seeing that

[01:33:14] now too. He was being set up. He felt he was being set up. Yeah. Jason, I love that Jason's

[01:33:23] feedbacks are always like many podcasts. I will say, and I'll send this to Jason separately as well.

[01:33:30] But I'm sure Jason will hear it this way. That feedback was a little longer. It was almost like

[01:33:35] twice the length. But he did give us permission to kind of edit some stuff out. And I want to say

[01:33:40] to Jason, I did listen to the section that we cut out. He talked a little bit about I mentioned last week

[01:33:45] the speech that David Dremen from Disturbed gives during his concert about being alone and depression

[01:33:52] and such. So that didn't make it into the episode. I apologize for that, Jason, but I did listen to it.

[01:33:59] I appreciate the fact that you sent that over. We just try and keep the feedbacks to

[01:34:05] usually two to three minutes, Max, just to kind of get through them a little bit quicker.

[01:34:10] Yes. But that does leave us with one more voice mail. And of course, that comes from our friend

[01:34:16] Steve Brown and his live Steveings that he is. So let's go ahead and play that now.

[01:34:23] Hello, Ben and Kristen. This is Steve and this is going to be for Ted Lasso, season two,

[01:34:28] episode one. Ooh, that opening on Nate's face. Wow. Interesting. Which would be more important

[01:34:34] to the team to get that first win or to tie the record for the draws. I don't know. Think of

[01:34:40] wins. They made Michael Jordan cry. Is he saying the Hail Mary in Spanish? Is that what

[01:34:46] Danny Rojas is praying here in the shower? He's just being dutch. Oh, easy Nate. You

[01:34:51] have to be so hard on what's the new kid's name, Colin? Well, that's his name. Ted just said it.

[01:34:57] I don't mean to make light of the dog's passing because it's bad. But did we ever see this dog in

[01:35:03] the first season? Roy's coaching the girls football team. I forgot about that. The VB is keeping a

[01:35:10] record of Roy's cursing. Okay. I don't know what British money is. How many quid are in a pound?

[01:35:18] Because she just said, you owe me one quid and then it's 1,236 pounds.

[01:35:23] Ted is not very good at girl talk. Ever seen Magnolia? But I haven't seen the last Samurai. So

[01:35:28] Tom Cruise of the ponytail? Yeah. Ted just said to Danny, be the ball.

[01:35:33] Settle catty shack reference there. Oh, Nate. I really pick it up on this Nate being kind of

[01:35:39] aggressive here in this confab between the coaches and Leslie. They can't say the why word. And then

[01:35:45] as Ted is saying, yeah, let's do it. He's also shaking his head. No. He referencing Roy's retirement

[01:35:50] speech. And I don't remember. Do we ever get to actually see his retirement speech? I don't

[01:35:54] remember. Yes. The answer to that question would come in spoiler section. So I'll wait for a spoiler

[01:35:58] section. I love the quick little Jim blossoms explanation. Hey, GLS is there their best song

[01:36:03] would follow you down is my favorite of the little little hints into Beards backstory that we get

[01:36:08] that he dated a cruise dancer, a cruise ship dancer. And oh, yeah. Now he's dated too many.

[01:36:13] Roy, don't you dare settle for fine. Oh, no, this is difficult or not. But Nate just said

[01:36:17] the record is 1,236. Wasn't that the same amount of pounds that Roy owed Phoebe? Looks like Danny

[01:36:22] was back after just one session. Oh, how many languages does this doctor speak? French and Spanish

[01:36:27] and English. That's right. I forgot Jamie's on this reality show. Right. On to next week.

[01:36:34] I love when Steve picks up on a bunch of stuff that we talked about. I do. We get like,

[01:36:40] by the time we get to this part and listening, most of his questions have already been answered.

[01:36:45] Which is great. Yeah. Because we don't have to discuss it. That's true.

[01:36:51] He did mention, I don't think we talked about it, but he did mention the the the Jim blossoms

[01:36:56] thing with follow you down or Hey, jealousy, which are two great songs by the Jim blossoms.

[01:37:02] The Jim blossoms Jim blossoms and collective soul. Collective soul was great.

[01:37:09] The collective school soul is still is still great. So great. I almost knocked my water over.

[01:37:14] Yeah. I'm I miss really good 90s alternative music.

[01:37:20] Serious XM lithium V best worth everything.

[01:37:24] I I have serious and I don't listen to it nearly as much as I should.

[01:37:27] Channel 37's lithium. They do go through these phases where they seem to only play like a lot of

[01:37:35] REM and we're just like guys, guys, come on, enough with the REM.

[01:37:41] I enjoy REM, but yeah, every once in a while.

[01:37:47] For all of you at home, Kristin just shot me a look.

[01:37:51] Very good at my looks.

[01:37:53] But apparently it was the kind of look that speaks. Why?

[01:38:02] That friends was supposed to be call was supposed to have their original theme song was to be

[01:38:08] REM's shiny happy people. That wouldn't work. Of course it wouldn't have that would not

[01:38:14] work. But every time I hear that song, I always think this was supposed to be the friend's theme

[01:38:18] song because nowhere in shiny happy people do you get exactly. And if you can't clap five times,

[01:38:26] then why are you watching? Four times. It's four times. I just did it.

[01:38:33] But thank you everybody for the feedback for this week's episode, which we encourage you guys

[01:38:37] to leave. Easiest way to do that is go to revisitedpod.com. There you can find links on everything where

[01:38:59] on Monday. Next Monday is Christmas Day. So we will not be doing another episode of Ted Lasso

[01:39:08] but we are bringing you an episode of the podcast in that as Jason had mentioned during his his

[01:39:14] feedback, it is going to be like a little revisited podcast Christmas special in which Kristin and I

[01:39:21] are going to give you our thoughts on how to wanting Tim's Christmas special. So it's going to be a

[01:39:28] nice short little episode. We're not going to do listener feedback for it, but it's going to release

[01:39:34] on Christmas Day. We're going to take a little bit of a break from that and give you a little bit of a

[01:39:38] break from having to watch Ted Lasso or leave his feedback. Yes, it's just so stressful having to

[01:39:45] watch Ted Lasso every week. My heart just can't take all the joy. But the following Monday is New

[01:39:52] Year's Day in which we will be bringing you another episode of Ted Lasso. We're going to be talking

[01:39:57] about season two, episode two, Lavender. So feel free to leave us feedback for that episode

[01:40:06] which you have two weeks to get us feedback for it. So do it. So do it. No excuse. You get two weeks.

[01:40:13] Leave us your New Year's resolutions. Ooh, that's not a bad idea

[01:40:20] because it'll be New Year's Day. I need inspiration. Okay, fair enough. Other than I need to lose some

[01:40:26] weight, which I do. That's almost everybody's resolution constantly. I'm still carrying a lot of

[01:40:34] my COVID weight. You and me both. I'm I've gotten to the point where I even posted this on social

[01:40:43] media. I think I'm to the point in my life where I might just accept it grow up my beard and become

[01:40:49] a Santa. Well, you already have like kind of a gray beard. So white beard. Your old is what I'm saying.

[01:41:04] Thank you for that. We're the same age. You're a year older than me. I'm a year older. It's the

[01:41:13] same age. It's not. No. It's basically the same. No, no. Recommendations for the week. We got,

[01:41:21] we'll do our normal recommendation and then of course our final holiday recommendation.

[01:41:26] Any normal regular recommendation for the week. So we just started watching a new show.

[01:41:32] We've only seen the first episode but so far so good. It is a British show starring Gary Oldman

[01:41:38] called Slow Horses, Slow Horse, Slow Horses. It's new, isn't it? There's three seasons.

[01:41:47] Oh, then it's not new. Yeah. But Gary Oldman plays a character that I have never seen him play

[01:41:54] before. He is this old alcoholic, very, very disgustingly sloppy leader of the reject pile of

[01:42:06] MI5. Like if you if you have messed up as an MI5 operative, you are sent to a slow house,

[01:42:17] slow house. It's spelled S-L-O-U-G-H house but they call it Slow Horses, the Slow Horse. And so

[01:42:27] it's like all of these rejects but one guy that is there is there because somebody threw him under

[01:42:36] the bus and he's actually a good agent among all of these terrible agents and this alcoholic,

[01:42:42] slovenly disgusting person, excuse for a person leader. And that's Gary Oldman who of course he

[01:42:50] plays this brilliantly. So it's Gary Oldman. It's Gary Oldman. I would watch him do anything

[01:42:57] honestly. Although I got to tell you, he's so gross in this that I feel like I can smell him

[01:43:02] and it's really screwing with me like a lot. That's method acting right there.

[01:43:08] Well, you'll see like his first scene really sets up how disgusting he is.

[01:43:15] Okay, all right. But anyways, I recommend it. I've only watched one one episode but

[01:43:21] it's enough for me to feel like I feel strong and recommending it was it was pretty solid pilot.

[01:43:28] Okay, all right. I might have to check it out then.

[01:43:31] My recommendation is a movie called The Last Supper. No, it's not.

[01:43:39] My recommendation actually is though Kristen and I do. It's the first one we've done in a while.

[01:43:45] We took a little bit of a break but we do over on the Wilhelm podcast. We do the

[01:43:51] the movie swap. And this last episode that we did is seriously one of the most fun episodes we

[01:44:01] have done in a long time. We laughed so much during this episode because we both hated the movies.

[01:44:13] So on on movie swap, if you haven't listened to it yet, is where Kristen and I give each other

[01:44:17] homework of a movie we've never seen before. I give her something she's never seen and she gives

[01:44:22] me something I've never seen. And for the first time, we both hated the movies that we're given to us.

[01:44:29] And the conversation that ensues is just

[01:44:34] chaos. It was an hour of chaos. We have not laughed that much during a podcast recording. So

[01:44:42] go over and check out that episode. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

[01:44:48] You will not. Even if you've never seen the movies, it's just fun to listen to us just

[01:44:54] trash each other's movies. Yeah. Wilhelmpodcast.com. Go over and listen to the latest episode of

[01:45:00] movie swap. It's absolutely hysterical. Christmas recommendations for the holidays.

[01:45:07] You go first. So I was actually just with friends last night and we were talking about our

[01:45:13] memories of seeing this movie. It's relatively new. It's only within like the last two years,

[01:45:17] I think. Yeah, 2021. But we talked about how much we all love this movie. It's a movie called

[01:45:22] eight bit Christmas. It starts Neil Patrick Harris. And it's basically it's a little bit of a modern

[01:45:30] a Christmas story in that it's Neil Patrick Harris and his daughter are going home for Christmas

[01:45:36] to his parents house. His daughter is like pressuring him to buy him or to buy her a cell phone.

[01:45:42] And it leads him into it leads into him telling the story to his daughter about him and his friends

[01:45:48] back in like the the 80s and 90s about how badly they wanted an original Nintendo NES.

[01:45:57] And how they banded together to raise money to buy a joint like jointly buy an NES. It is

[01:46:04] such a great family film. It's Neil Patrick Harris is great in it, but Steve Zahn is phenomenal.

[01:46:12] I love him. He played a killer gay ice dancer on Friends. Yes, yes, he did. But he plays Neil

[01:46:20] Patrick Harris's father's that Neil Patrick's character is character's father. And he's old enough

[01:46:26] to play Neil in the in the in the flashback. Got it. Thank you. I was like, wait a minute. Wait,

[01:46:33] stop of when he's telling the story of his childhood. Okay, he plays his dad. Okay, it's like a Christmas

[01:46:41] princess bride almost. Sort of. Yeah, maybe. But no, it's it's so incredibly well done. It's so

[01:46:49] heartfelt. It is just a great movie. So I ate bit Christmas is my holiday recommendation.

[01:46:56] Very nice. Very nice. What about me? What about me? I don't have anything. I

[01:47:07] hang on. You should watch. I don't know. I don't know. You know what? I tried to introduce my

[01:47:21] daughter to one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time a couple days ago. And I'm not sure

[01:47:26] that it really qualifies as a Christmas movie, but it does take place during Christmas at times

[01:47:31] in the movie. So I don't know. I always equate it with a Christmas movie, but it's the little

[01:47:37] princess with Shirley Temple. I don't know if you've ever seen it, but it's just this adorable movie.

[01:47:45] And Shirley Temple is fantastic in it. She plays this very spoiled little girl who goes to

[01:47:54] stay at this school while her father goes off to war. It's set in the 1800s, like 1899, I think,

[01:48:01] or something like that in in England. And what happens is is that he comes from a lot of money,

[01:48:11] so he just like showers the school with so much money just to keep her with her horse in this nice

[01:48:17] room and all the best stuff. But then he news comes that he actually died and there's no more money

[01:48:26] coming in. And so they throw Shirley Temple's character in the attic with the rest of the servants

[01:48:32] and she has to work at the school instead. Anyways, it's actually a really heartwarming,

[01:48:40] beautiful story. It sounds like it being locked in the attic. No, she gets to leave the attic

[01:48:48] to clean the rooms. Come on. Is this like a Christmas version of Flowers in the Attic? Like it's...

[01:48:53] No, just you have to watch it. It's very good. It's very good. Anyways,

[01:48:58] that movie I always equate with Christmas time, maybe because I always watched it at Christmas

[01:49:03] time. I don't know. Danny wasn't into it, so we had to turn it off. But I will watch the rest of

[01:49:08] it. I used to watch it every single year. Like it's a core memory movie for me.

[01:49:14] Yeah, so that movie. I love it. And what's it called again? The Little Princess.

[01:49:19] Okay. I think I actually have heard of that before. Somebody redid it.

[01:49:25] Okay. And the Shirley Temple version is just better because it's Shirley Temple and any Shirley

[01:49:30] Temple movie is magic to me. Okay. I was obsessed with Shirley Temple when I was a kid.

[01:49:37] I and you know, it's funny too how you say like you just equate it to Christmas because like the

[01:49:41] other movie that I watch on a regular basis around the holidays, it's not even to call it a Christmas

[01:49:48] movie is a stretch because it's literally maybe like the last five minutes of the movie. I think

[01:49:54] that that's Little Princess. Like it's like the last... The end of the movie is the only part of the

[01:49:59] movie that takes place at Christmas. But grumpy old men. That is such a good movie.

[01:50:06] I watch it every year around the holidays because like the end of the movie takes place at Christmas.

[01:50:11] The rest of the movie is it's just it's just in winter. Yeah, it's over like Thanksgiving and

[01:50:17] but that movie, man, the outtakes at the end of that movie are hysterical. With the old old man.

[01:50:23] Burgess Meredith. Yeah. Come on. I want to lay up. It's still hilarious to me.

[01:50:29] That's the second one when he's naming all the islands. Yeah. Yeah. That's grumpy old men.

[01:50:35] Grumpy old man is just as good as the first one. I love both of those movies and I love it that

[01:50:39] it was Walter Mathau and Jack Lemond. Jack Lemond. Yeah. The Odd Couple. The original Odd Couple.

[01:50:45] The original Odd Couple. Exactly. See, you get it. We get it. And I will say I did enjoy the reboot

[01:50:52] of the Odd Couple. Oh, me too. With Matthew Perry and oh why can't I think of his name?

[01:51:00] Wasn't it the two and a half men guy? No. No, that's John Cryer. Oh, no, no, no. It was the

[01:51:08] shoot. Hang on. It was it was Joey's hand model. Yeah, it was Joey's hand model in friends.

[01:51:16] Thomas Lennon. Tom Lennon. That's it.

[01:51:20] Yeah, it only ran for like I think like two season three seasons. Oh, but I didn't realize

[01:51:26] around that long. I didn't either. Oops. Sorry, buddy. Yeah, but no, that was that was good.

[01:51:33] Their chemistry was really good on screen too. Yeah. But Walter Mathau and Jack Lemond are just

[01:51:38] well Walter Mathau is the perfect hermajin. I mean, he's just wonderful in that role. Well, he was.

[01:51:44] And again, I watch it every Christmas. I just watched it the other night actually.

[01:51:48] Oh, that's awesome. Because it's again, it's a stretch to call it a Christmas movie.

[01:51:53] Yeah, but I still watch it at Christmas. Is this the last week we're doing

[01:51:59] Recommendations for Christmas movies? Yes. So honorable mentions, I would say would be

[01:52:05] Elf, of course. I love Elf so much. Home Alone 1. Home Alone 2 is better than Home Alone 1.

[01:52:11] Yes, it is. I agree. 100%. And Miracle on 34th Street, the original

[01:52:20] is still a favorite of mine. I like the the remade one, but the original in Black and White

[01:52:28] is just wonderful. And White Christmas, I grew up watching that movie as well.

[01:52:33] Okay. You know what? Then I'll throw a couple of recommended honorable mentions out there as well.

[01:52:38] Maybe some lesser known ones are ones that I think fly under the radar a little bit.

[01:52:43] Christmas with the Cranks with Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis is it's not a great movie,

[01:52:49] but the ending is one of, in my opinion, one of the most touching endings of any Christmas

[01:52:55] movie I've ever seen. What else is there? Let's see kind of off the beaten path. Well,

[01:53:04] just friends, I know how your feelings on Ryan Reynolds, but that movie always makes me laugh.

[01:53:11] The movie Jack Frost with Michael Keaton and Kelly Preston, where Michael Keaton's character

[01:53:18] turns into a snowman. I'm sorry, dies and comes back as a snowman. I think is a great movie.

[01:53:28] You mentioned Muppet Christmas Carol, obviously. Scrooge with Bill Murray is a great telling

[01:53:35] of a Christmas Carol. Let's see. The two kind of off the beaten pathlands that I will mention,

[01:53:42] and I'll wrap up my honorable mentions, are one trapped in paradise, which is Nick Cage,

[01:53:50] John Lovitz and Dana Carvey. What a cast. It is. They are, they are three brothers who

[01:53:59] rob a bank in a small Pennsylvania town. And because of the weather, end up getting trapped

[01:54:05] in the town. They can't get out. So they end up staying with a family. And the family, they end

[01:54:11] up staying with the family that brings them in is the family that owns the bank. Oh, my gosh.

[01:54:20] Who this family obviously has no idea that they're the people that robbed the bank. It is.

[01:54:26] That's awesome. It is. To me, it's such an underrated movie, just because of the cast in it and the

[01:54:34] fact of what? Like what's it called again? It's called trapped in paradise. Yeah, I'm gonna watch

[01:54:39] that too. Yeah, it's fun. And then the other off the beaten pathland that I will mention just because

[01:54:45] it's freaking raunchy. It's not really raunchy, but it's it's bad. And when I tell you the cast,

[01:54:51] you will know why it is Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn, TJ, Office, Office party,

[01:54:57] Office Christmas party. Yep. Yep.

[01:55:00] Courtney B. Vance, Rob Cordury. Oh, Courtney B. Vance. He was in the Last Supper. Yes, he was.

[01:55:09] I love office Christmas party. It is just such a Bateman's another one of those guys that like I

[01:55:15] will give almost anything he does a shot. Especially if it comes with a red band trailer.

[01:55:21] That's like, okay, it's it's going to be good. So, so yeah, so as I mentioned, next week will be

[01:55:29] the revisited Christmas episode, which we're going to talk about Hannah Waddington's Christmas

[01:55:34] special. No need to leave feedback for that. But we have two weeks to leave us feedback for

[01:55:39] episode two lavender of Ted Lasso. But Mary Christmas, happy holidays to everybody who celebrates.

[01:55:49] Yes, yes, yes. I believe Hanukkah is over. It is over. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's over. I think it's

[01:55:59] over at this point. But from I'm sure I can speak for Kristen when I say have a great holiday,

[01:56:08] be safe, be well, and just enjoy the time with your loved ones that are around you.

[01:56:16] Yes. And I'm sure we will be doing the same thing. Maybe. Yeah. Any final notes before we head out?

[01:56:28] No, you I think you hit it all. There's a lot of ladybugs in my view right now, so.

[01:56:37] Okay. Yeah. I can't think of that away. That's my final note.

[01:56:42] Can't think of a better way to end it than ladybugs.

[01:56:46] So with that being said, thank you guys so much for everything. Thank you for being a part of this

[01:56:54] next episode of the Ted Lasso portion is on New Year's Day. So if you don't listen to the Christmas

[01:57:02] episode, have a safe New Year as well. But until then, we will see you guys out on the pitch.

[01:57:09] Take care. Namaste. Bye-bye. Transcription results written to '/home/forge/transcribe.sonicengage.com/releases/20240210005325' directory
