Richmond Til We Die: A Ted Lasso Podcast Gin + Kerosene Productions

Welcome back to the Dogtrack, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation about Season 3, Episode 1: Smells Like Mean Spirit.

The first episode of season three is a bit of a subdued number that sets the table for the show's brilliant and emotional third act. We chat about our expectations going into season three, where we find our favorite characters at the beginning of this season, and relish the fact that there is so much soccer stuff to nerd out about in this episode and this season.

Additionally, we appreciate how much Hannah Waddingham is filmed eating, note the differences between U.S. and British referential humor, wax philosophical on some Goethe, and share our thoughts on the musical choices and placements in this episode.

And, just as a general rule, you can expect our episodes this season to be a skosh longer than usual. What can we say? The TV show got longer. So did our podcast.

Richmond Til We Die is an episode-by-episode conversation about the Apple TV+ show Ted Lasso, where we explore the characters, their relationships to each other, and how they're able to make us laugh until we can hardly breathe one moment and then feel with the deepest parts of our hearts the next. When you're here, you're a greyhound!

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with sports journalist Alex McDaniel about their shared trust in the show's creators to end the series well.

Alex is the Managing Editor at USA Today’s For The Win - a social news hub that focuses on sports and entertainment. Of course, Alex is also a huge, huge fan of Ted Lasso, too. She’s written about Ted Lasso at For The Win, and had the opportunity to interview principal cast members for the site.

Alex co-hosts Ted Lasso-centered episodes for the Big Screen Sports podcast. She also happens to be one of our favorite Twitter follows, and as such is the primary reason we have a working knowledge of news emanating from the University of Mississippi athletic department.

We chatted with Alex about our shared love for the show, which led to some fun side conversations about Alex's Ted Lasso-themed Animal Crossing Island, her involvement in a formal press junket with the stars of the show, and how she's trusting the Ted Lasso team to land the plane as season three draws to a close.

Finally, let this serve as your official spoiler alert, as there is some light discussion of Ted Lasso plot points up through the fifth episode of season 3.

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation about Ted Lasso, hockey, sports media, and karaoke with Julie Stewart-Binks.

Julie is a Canadian journalist who has predominantly covered soccer and hockey for Fubo Sports, ESPN, CBS and Fox Sports. She’s what one might call ubiquitous in the sports reporting world. And she’s also hilarious, as anyone who follows her on twitter knows well.

Of course, Julie's also a massive fan of Ted Lasso, too. So we invited her on the show to chat about her love of the show as well as her work covering major sporting events like the Women's World Cup and the Stanley Cup Finals. We also ask how survived a close encounter with the stars of our favorite show at a recent Sirius XM media event and speculate about a duet betwen some of our favorite characters.

Finally, let this serve as your official spoiler alert, as there is some light discussion of Ted Lasso plot points up through the third episode of season 3.

Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation about Ted Lasso and the midwest's unique conversational style with author and comedy writer Taylor Kay Philips.

Taylor currently writes for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO, and her work has also appeared in publications like the The New Yorker and McSweeney’s. (Note: as of this publication, the 2023 WGA labor union strike, which affects Taylor and her colleagues, is ongoing. We support the WGA in their ongoing negotiations with the AMPTP.)

And though she currently lives and works in the New York City, Taylor originally hails from the Barbecue Capital of the World, Kansas City, and is a true midwesterner at heart! She loves the midwest so much, in fact, that she wrote a book called A Guide to Midwestern Conversation, which is a hilarious and heartfelt homage to the the midwest’s particular brand of communication.

Of course, Taylor’s a massive fan of Ted Lasso, too. So we invited her on the show to chat about Ted’s midwestern mannerisms, the unique culture and charm of Kansas City, and what it was like to be in attendance at the 2022 Emmy Awards Ceremony as the Ted Lasso cast and crew collected multiple awards.

Finally, let this serve as your official spoiler alert, as there is some light discussion of Ted Lasso plot points up through the third episode of season 3.
