Jamie remembers every single detail from his trip with his mom to Amsterdam but almost nothing when he went with his dad, great subtle writing!! Love this show
Zlatan (who Zava is based on) actually paid for a full page in LA Times which he left blank except for the text: "Dear Los Angeles, you're welcome" when he signed for Galaxy
I still claim the only reason he came to the US was to prove that his knee was better, and get re-signed somewhere in Europe. Maybe I'm bitter? Never got to see him play. While he was there, it was the Galaxy's turn to come out east to Atlanta. He never even boarded the plane because "Zlatan does not play on plastic." Funny aside: engineers/architects here are working on how they're gonna keep real grass alive in a dome for our World Cup matches here.
The whole Dr. Jake thing is even worse when you factor in that he was Michelle’s individual therapist before they began marriage counseling. That was something that should never have happened-he should have told her to go to someone else when she and Ted started their sessions. He is just a walking ethics violation.
100%. He was Michelle’s personal therapist, then became their marriage therapist (super conflict right there), Ted said he often felt hanged up on in sessions, and then he recommended Ted take the job overseas, nudged then towards separation and then divorce… and now is dating her. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
@@kathyastrom1315 I don’t know if I just wasn’t paying attention or what but I completely missed this my first time watching. Recolored so much of the season once I learned that.
"I weren't being ironic, I was being hypocritical" is one of my favorite Jamie lines in the whole series. He's grown so much from the self-obsessed ignoramus he was in the first season.
I still say that the only reason Dunster didn't win an Emmy is because that fantastic performance was spread over three seasons, instead of just one. Writers' room thinking "long term" for that character. I hope Phil knows how much we appreciate his work in this thing.
If you go back and look Jade is cold to Nate whenever Nate tries to impress her or demand things. There first interaction is often confused because it looks like she will not give Nate the window table. If you rewatch that she has to ask Derek. Derek is the one who shoots down giving the table to Nate. She hates working for Derek because he is always fawning over people like Anastasia and Nate when he is a premier league coach. Once Nate acts real with her she opens up.
Yep. When Jade says of evil-Rupert "He's nice seeming" that both nails his character _and_ tells us a lot about her. Basically, she's sharp, sees right through bullshit and fakeness and clearly has no time for it.
You might be right, but watched the 1st season multiple times and I never read her as a nice person, she is cold to him from the start and not nice or accommodating, she is a host/ greeter, it’s her job to be nice and she has no time for him. Even if she can not give him the table she should have made an effort to console or make it right. I feel like she was retconned to be a love interest & if not they did a terrible job setting her up as a nice person for Nate to be with.
If I've got the timing of the series right, "Dr, Jacob" waited just long enough to start dating Michelle so that the state ethics board wouldn't be able to take away his license. Makes me wanna punch him even more.
When Nate's heel turn at the end of Season 2 was revealed, Sudeikis explained that there would only be three seasons. He said they would mirror the original Star Wars trilogy. Nate is Anakin. He was always going to be redeemed. Rupert is Palpatine. He was always going down the shaft.
And yes it is HIGHLY unethical for a therapist to date patients - current or former - for the reasons you stated. You can lose your f--king license over that.
Yeah I have never seen Star Wars and prob will never see it but I think it was pretty obvious that Nate was going to have a redemption arc. Me accepting it tho is a whole other thing. I didn’t. 😅
Lol Jade’s deal is she’s stereotypical polish no nonsense personality. Every time Nate tried showing off, including name dropping Roy when they first met and him showing off the model, she humbled him back down to earth. She made him likable again.
I totally suspected it was cultural! I knew it! But not because I know her culture but because I thought it was pretty obvious. How did you know it tho? Do you know Polish people?
I read or heard somewhere that Phil Dunster purposely did the accent that exaggerated on "poopeh" because he was trying to get Bret Goldstein to laugh.
Do a search for Phil Dunster, Elis James, John Robins, Dave Masterman. Phil Dunster admitted, on the Elis and John show, that he based Jamie's accent on the accent that Elis James (who is Welsh) did to take the Mickey out of Producer Dave Masterman (from Stockport). "4 Euros for a cheese toastie? You're having a laugh, ain't ya?"
Danny was lying down because the wall often jumps to try to block the free kick. Free kickers got wise to this and occasionally kicked the ball on the ground, underneath the wall. A defender lies on the ground to prevent this.
It's such a ridiculous thing, and they should just make a rule against it. Scoring a free kick is already difficult enough, no need to make it damn near impossible.
@@rickykozak58 That's why I said "damn near impossible", not "impossible". Choosing to jump or not is a gamble the defense has to make, not to mention timing it right and making sure everyone does the same thing. Having a single player lying down behind the wall completely eliminates the option of going under the wall, so it just becomes a chore for the poor guy designated to do it, and it looks ridiculous. Either make a rule against placing a player there or make a rule against shooting under the wall, that would take out the middle-man and save everyone the bother of having to put a player there. Also, there is a risk(albeit a small one) of the player laying down accidentally get a ball to the back of the head.
@@korganrocks3995 No they shouldn't! Excessive rules are for American sports. The rest of the world lets creativity drive the changes. That's why American/Canadian football is dumb. You're the centre, you hike the ball, and mess up blocking the people trying to rush the QB. The natural thing is to call to the QB to throw you the ball. But no! You're not an "eligible receiver". Instead of allowing the game to evolve in strategy, they just made it a rule that that particular player can't catch the ball. As coach Beard said in season one when explaining what American sports do in lieu of relegation, "it's dumb!"
@@TheNuje Bro, we've literally got a rule against taking your shirt off when you score, so get off your high horse. A player sneaking the ball under the wall and scoring was a spectacular event, the kind of thing kids would talk about on the playground the day after the game. Now every team just has a guy lay down behind the wall for every freekick, and that creative option is gone. Adding a rule would increase the creativity, not hamper it.
The Amsterdam episode is one of my favorites! Cultural stuff: houseboat guy - "He's not rude, he's just Dutch". Soccer fan things: "Three Little Birds" is actually the Ajax 'theme song'. IIRC they were playing in the UK, the 'away fans' had to be held in the stadium for some reason, and the PA announcer played the song to keep them entertained. They seized upon it. There's video of Marley's son singing it in their stadium. Which is named after Johan Cruyff, who (as Beard mentioned) helped invent "Total Football". The storytelling element where Ted figures it out on his own *in* Amsterdam nearly brought me to tears. Watched that episode with a mix of soccer and non-soccer fans, my half of the room was talking about how Brendan Hunt *really* knows football.
Such a good episode. there's not been much of a focus on the football a lot of the time in this show, but the introduction of the total football approach felt like it changed that, and like Trent said it isn't a sudden change, it's the philosophy Ted has been unwittingly working towards since day 1! Best thing about this episode was the credits for me though: "God - as herself"
@@control2XS , I still swear that was actually Hannah doing the God voiceover. Loved that they did it that way in the creds, though. My career was TV, I love that kind of fun stuff. 😆 And yeah, Trent's "It's going to work!!" had me laughing.
Episode 7 is by far my favourite episode! Colin's speech makes me tear up no matter how many times I hear it. I really like that they didn't go the Ted/Rebecca route, that they showed that a healthy, platonic, same sex relationship can exist, with no tension.
@@JohnDoe-xz1mw yeah it a total exaggeration. It's more like the internet Zlatan. The jokes people make, like Chuck Norris jokes. Zava is more like those jokes than the real Zlatan.
That song in the Zava episode is made by an Italian comedian who wanted to make a song that sounded like English but was pure jibberish. But it absolutely slaps. Look up Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol
6:56 To be fair, if I had Rupert's money, and a need for an office, I too would style it like the Emperor's Throne on the Death Star. 8:46 The first time a person hears "Poopeh" is a pivotal day in their life. 💩🤣 33:17 Good call Simone. The music is indeed from Jesus Christ Superstar. Fun Fact: The Rice & Webber concept album starred Murray Head, brother of Anthony Stewart Head, as Judas. 1:01:22 Every plot in this episode is excellent, but this is Certified Platinum.🤣🥲 1:06:05 I was so proud of myself for immediately getting "Piggy Stardust" that I actually hurt my shoulder a little. 🐽🌠
If my marriage counselor starting dating my wife, basically no matter how far afterward it was or whether or not an official board would do anything about it, I would promote it as much as possible around that guy's business for like the rest of that guy's career. Anybody who is thinking about seeing that guy for help absolutely has a need and a right to know that that's what that guy is like.
Scoring from the halfway line in Football is actually more common than you would think. There are a bunch of videos on RUclips that show them. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (who Zava is based on) was notorious for scoring outlandish goals from distance as well as scoring from odd angles and with uncommon techniques.
Yeah, it's virtually impossible if the goalie is actually in goal, but if he's out of position it's not too difficult for players of this caliber. Zava noticed the goalie off his line before kickoff and went for the spectacular.
I went to Amsterdam back in 2003 on Spring Break in college. Where Trent and Collin speak (@1:02:32) is called the Homomonument. And, it is definitely just right around the corner from where the Frank family hid during the occupation.
"I mean, you used to run like you were angry at the grass. You'd kick the ball like you'd caught it fucking your wife, for Christ's sake. But that anger doesn't come out anymore when you play. But it's still in here" *points to Roy's heart* "And I'm afraid of what it'll do to you if you just keep it all for yourself" -- Nathan Shelley (my fav moment in the whole show)
Dr Jacob was probably just *barely* not violating ethics rules because the American Psychological Association prohibits romantic/sexual relationships until 2 years after the end of the therapist-patient relationship. Since Ted's been in the U.K. just 2 years at this point & they seemed to have been in therapy not too long prior to his moving, Dr Jacob probably just squeaked over the 2 year limit. I still personally consider it unethical because he was specifically their marriage counselor- Ted mentioned before that it felt like Michelle and Dr Jacob had already decided things were his fault prior to him even going into a session & I think the viewers at the time were meant to sort of write that off as him feeling overly defensive (normal in that situation) But Dr Jacob dating Michelle puts that interpretation into question because it's entirely possible that Dr Jacob wasn't doing his job properly because he was attracted to Michelle and possibly wanted to see her relationship fail so he might have a chance with her.
"why is Danny laying down?" The idea against a free-kick is to build a wall, the 'top line' goes shoulder to shoulder and jumps to header height, and sometimes someone blocks the cheeky "under-the-wall" kick. Are you possibly sacrificing you face? Yes. 😅😅 The more you know 🌠🌈
I love the little hints we get of the secondary team members. Bumbercatch is a political junkie, conspiracy theorist, and mechanically minded-he is the one who figures out that the sign was ripped. He also fixes something in an upcoming episode.
I've been waiting for this forever (well, since the last one). I always love to see Simone's reactions to Ted Lasso. We get teary-eyed at the same things! ❤😎
Ted’s hallucinatory episode was an ester egg, about Fonald Duck in mathematics land or something similar. I remember watching it when I was a kid at school on the old real to real projector.
I think that Jade was like that with Nathan from the beginning because she had a gut feeling he wasn't being himself. The first time she really sees him is with the baklava which is why she starts relaxing. When she meets Rupert for the first time there is that coldness again. Its really good subtle acting on her part.
Everyone is a nerd about something. Nerds are not the stereotypical nerds from tv and movies. Nerd out about sports, comics, games, videos, makeup, celebs, life.❤🖖Be a happy nerd everyone !
So excited to see you two react to Sunflowers omg, such an amazing episode. Also it's been months since I watched the show, and if you told me Jamie would become my favorite character I wouldn't have believed you in the slightest 😂. In season 1 I hated him, knew the show was gonna try and make me love him later on, and yet they STILL succeeded lol. Like it's a perfect natural character growth and it's crazy how well they pulled it off.
@@korganrocks3995 definitely! I'm a coach at junior level and honestly it's just amazing how well they capture the caricature of certain players, Roy Kent (Roy Keane) etc. And I also loved the total football storyline (even if it was massively simplified) great to see some love for the game in the show, it's one of my favourite shows
I loved the little reference to "..his wife loves English dramas..". Beckham only played here in the US (for the Galaxy as well!) because that Spice Girl he married wanted to live in Los Angeles. Many of us who follow MLS call the Designated Player rule (you can break the salary cap for a DP) the "David Beckham Rule" because it was created for him to play here.
I love how Sassy greets her Uber driver after her conversation with Ted. He IS a mess, but he still has that Ted effect on people to be better somehow.
Still in the beginning of the video and already lmao at your enthusiasm for Rupert's death star office 😂 It really is an awesome villain office (lair?). Thank you for these Ted Lasso reactions, they are a blast!
Nate's grey hair is to make him look more like Jose Mourinho, the real life arrogant coach on whom Nate is based, his origin story is similar. How did you guys not learn about it in 5 months?
If you react to the movie Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, you'll find out what an awesome call out it was for Jamie to teach Roy how to ride a bike. That scene was one of my favorites for this entire series. I got a lump in my throat from the homage it was doing.
"Good old fashioned Orientalism." I must point out Kintsugi is a phenomenal art form that may have originated in the "Orient" (as George put it) but it doesn't mean it's it shouldn't be expanded on, or avoided by other cultures, because it has wonderful meaning and value. Kintsugi is very healing for those with scars. Why are you upset, George, that any humans can find health benefits from art, history, meaning or culture?
Nate is never sure of who he is or who he really wants to be. He is not even sure of who he is angry at and over what. He is so mistreated by people before Ted arrives that the lesson he learned is that successful and powerful people punch down at those with less power and disregard their existence, which is why he treats Will and Colin badly. He also doesn't get the lesson from Rebecca about finding your power. He instead is always spitting at himself. He's focused on the hate he has for the negative parts of himself and not reinforcing the positive parts of himself. As for Jade, I went back to rewatch the first time, she appears and actually she is very friendly at first and happy to make the reservation. When he asks for the window table, her smile drops and says she has to ask Derek. Incidentally Derek is the name of the manager at the American restaurant in Amsterdam that all the employees are complaining about. Same Derek? Who knows? Every other interaction between Jade and Nate is one where Nate is either trying to show off (friend of Roy), uncertain and flustered. He is never being being direct. Once she sees him being direct to Anastasi, defending this part of his life, being a human, then Jade is willing to connect with him.
The Amsterdam espisode is so good. I love how they gave Trent Crimm of the Independant more depth. The guy was laying down to block any shot on the ground since the wall often jumps. A sneaky way to score is to shoot low when they all jump. So one player will lay on the ground to block low shots. Re: 1:09:00 a teammate not supporting him the reality is the hypermasculine world of men's team sports openly gay players have been few and far between so lack of acceptance and public ridicule is a natural fear.
Not sure about something as simple as a counselor/therapist, but I believe I read when this came out that psychologist/psychiatrists aren’t supposed to date a patient for 3-5 years after they stop seeing a patient, because they can take advantage of the deep psychological knowledge they have of the patient. The years long delay allows the person to change as a person so that by the time the Dr dates them they are enough of a different person that you aren’t taking advantage of them. At least that is my understanding of it depending on which state you live in the U.S. There are similar rules about a high school teacher dating a former student, they are supposed to stay away to give the former student time to go out and live their own life and find someone on their own. If they decide years later they want to date a former teacher, at least they lived some life on their own for a few years.
Even when Nate was shy, he cared more than anything what others thought of him. How important it was that he got showed his Dad that he merited a window seat. Remember back when he was insulted that Roy didn't find him a threat after kissing Keeley? Or how Ted became the enemy as soon as he didn't completely dote on Nate? Major Daddy issues. Jade' presents a little weird but she uses acting obtuse to deflect behaviour and situations she doesn't feel like dealing with. When Nate finally gets completely human and stops grasping for attention, she likes him. It feels like she singled him out for that cold treatment because she saw him better than most do and saw another Nate in there. There's someone for everyone (foreshadowed by that "your baggage matches right up" Ted comment about Jane and Beard)
As someone who works at a museum, please do not take mushrooms or any other hallucinogenics before going. It has happened several times and every time the person leaves with either the police or the paramedics.
Goals from the midfield, farther and even in open play (not a free kick) are not the rule but they are not uncommon by any means either, there have been goals scored by the opponent golie from end to end.
I actually really started to like Rupert's character. He wasn't entirely awful. I did like how he treated Nate and seemed like he truly believed in him.
I’m confused about what you’re confused about with Jade. It’s intended to be like she’s cold to him when he’s being a huge douchebag. When he stops, she opens up and lets him in. Also I still get the icky feeling whenever someone brings up Ted and Rebecca together. It’s the same feeling I get watching Luke and Leia kiss. Just gross
Even though it had some great moments the first half of this season was a hit off due to Shandy, Jack and Zava. From the Amsterdam episode onwards it’s back to being a masterpiece.
The ethics for therapists is 5 years after termination of services for a romantic relationship and 2 years for non-romantic friendships. I’m a therapist; this is in place bc there’s a power dynamic which can easily get messy
Jamie remembers every single detail from his trip with his mom to Amsterdam but almost nothing when he went with his dad, great subtle writing!! Love this show
Zlatan (who Zava is based on) actually paid for a full page in LA Times which he left blank except for the text: "Dear Los Angeles, you're welcome" when he signed for Galaxy
Looks like them too
I wish they built another statue of him so i could pull it down.
I still claim the only reason he came to the US was to prove that his knee was better, and get re-signed somewhere in Europe. Maybe I'm bitter? Never got to see him play. While he was there, it was the Galaxy's turn to come out east to Atlanta. He never even boarded the plane because "Zlatan does not play on plastic." Funny aside: engineers/architects here are working on how they're gonna keep real grass alive in a dome for our World Cup matches here.
Lebron James also sent him a shirt to welcome him to LA, and Zlatan signed it and sent it back.
@@Robalogot , I didn't know that! That's hilarious. I'm from North Carolina (go Wolfpack!), I like basketball, too. Thanks!

And kind of a dick
Ted also mentioned that Dr. Joke had recommended their separation. The guy might be a bigger villain than Rupert, and that's saying something.

I went to Amsterdam back in 2003 on Spring Break in college. Where Trent and Collin speak (@1:02:32) is called the Homomonument. And, it is definitely just right around the corner from where the Frank family hid during the occupation.
19:19 Simone & George's reaction to Mae serving food is one of the many reasons I love their reactions, interactions and this channel!
"I mean, you used to run like you were angry at the grass. You'd kick the ball like you'd caught it fucking your wife, for Christ's sake. But that anger doesn't come out anymore when you play. But it's still in here" *points to Roy's heart* "And I'm afraid of what it'll do to you if you just keep it all for yourself" -- Nathan Shelley (my fav moment in the whole show)
I think that might be my favorite too!
Dr Jacob was probably just *barely* not violating ethics rules because the American Psychological Association prohibits romantic/sexual relationships until 2 years after the end of the therapist-patient relationship. Since Ted's been in the U.K. just 2 years at this point & they seemed to have been in therapy not too long prior to his moving, Dr Jacob probably just squeaked over the 2 year limit. I still personally consider it unethical because he was specifically their marriage counselor- Ted mentioned before that it felt like Michelle and Dr Jacob had already decided things were his fault prior to him even going into a session & I think the viewers at the time were meant to sort of write that off as him feeling overly defensive (normal in that situation) But Dr Jacob dating Michelle puts that interpretation into question because it's entirely possible that Dr Jacob wasn't doing his job properly because he was attracted to Michelle and possibly wanted to see her relationship fail so he might have a chance with her.
He started off as her individual therapist, and I think at some point it's mentioned it was his idea they start coming together.
@@Wallopy_Joe Oh, that somehow makes it even grosser.
@@vadalia3860 Yeah. Very predatory behaviour. Crimson red flags all around.
I really appreciated the James Randy reference. 👍
Isaac's reaction to the bird whistle getting zava's attention will always be the funniest thing to me.
After the " your dad a tree " line ted goes " hey, speaking of trees who we all rooting for today? "
Yeah, we all watched the same show, so… we know.
@thatgirlwearingglasses4133 damn, you see someone enjoying a line and have to act like that??? That's really sad actually
"why is Danny laying down?"
The idea against a free-kick is to build a wall, the 'top line' goes shoulder to shoulder and jumps to header height, and sometimes someone blocks the cheeky "under-the-wall" kick.
Are you possibly sacrificing you face?
Yes.
😅😅
The more you know 🌠🌈
I love the little hints we get of the secondary team members. Bumbercatch is a political junkie, conspiracy theorist, and mechanically minded-he is the one who figures out that the sign was ripped. He also fixes something in an upcoming episode.
The song playing during the bike riding scene with Jamie and Roy is a nod to the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
I've been waiting for this forever (well, since the last one). I always love to see Simone's reactions to Ted Lasso. We get teary-eyed at the same things! ❤😎
22:18 the asparagus line had me laughing for a good 5 minutes when i first saw this.
Ted’s hallucinatory episode was an ester egg, about Fonald Duck in mathematics land or something similar. I remember watching it when I was a kid at school on the old real to real projector.
I think that Jade was like that with Nathan from the beginning because she had a gut feeling he wasn't being himself. The first time she really sees him is with the baklava which is why she starts relaxing. When she meets Rupert for the first time there is that coldness again. Its really good subtle acting on her part.
I totally agree although I would add that you have to grow some spine to overcome our own insecurities, and seeing that growth is attractive too.
Nah. It was just cultural. She’s polish.
Episode 6 might be my favorite of the series.
GEORGE 😂 “they only dry thing there” 1:04:02 🤣🤣🤣💀
My biggest laugh of the video for sure! 😄
@@korganrocks3995 I spit out a little of my cocktail 🍹
@@alisong826 So nothing was dry there, eh? 😄
Everyone is a nerd about something. Nerds are not the stereotypical nerds from tv and movies. Nerd out about sports, comics, games, videos, makeup, celebs, life.❤🖖Be a happy nerd everyone !
So excited to see you two react to Sunflowers omg, such an amazing episode. Also it's been months since I watched the show, and if you told me Jamie would become my favorite character I wouldn't have believed you in the slightest 😂. In season 1 I hated him, knew the show was gonna try and make me love him later on, and yet they STILL succeeded lol. Like it's a perfect natural character growth and it's crazy how well they pulled it off.
I love that Zava is quite clearly Zlatan Ibrahimavic, even down to referring to himself by his name 🤣 I hope other people caught that
Everyone who knows football definitely did, but I wouldn't blame non-football fans for thinking it was too outrageous a character to be real... 😄
@@korganrocks3995 definitely! I'm a coach at junior level and honestly it's just amazing how well they capture the caricature of certain players, Roy Kent (Roy Keane) etc. And I also loved the total football storyline (even if it was massively simplified) great to see some love for the game in the show, it's one of my favourite shows
I loved the little reference to "..his wife loves English dramas..". Beckham only played here in the US (for the Galaxy as well!) because that Spice Girl he married wanted to live in Los Angeles. Many of us who follow MLS call the Designated Player rule (you can break the salary cap for a DP) the "David Beckham Rule" because it was created for him to play here.
Everyone caught it😂
@@rickykozak58 was hardly subtle was it but you'd be surprised
I love how Sassy greets her Uber driver after her conversation with Ted. He IS a mess, but he still has that Ted effect on people to be better somehow.
Still in the beginning of the video and already lmao at your enthusiasm for Rupert's death star office 😂 It really is an awesome villain office (lair?). Thank you for these Ted Lasso reactions, they are a blast!
Noice! Y'all have just improved an already pretty sweet Saturday. Cheers and Happy Weekend form the East Coast.🥃☮❤
Cool reaction as always Simone & George, you both take care and have a nice day
Nate's grey hair is to make him look more like Jose Mourinho, the real life arrogant coach on whom Nate is based, his origin story is similar. How did you guys not learn about it in 5 months?
i was just in ampsterdam and took some pictures at both bridges from this episode. the van gogh museum was AMAZING
I went from "Oh F*** off Jamie" to "That my boy Jamie Tartt !"
I love that both Beard and Roy dated Gina Gershon.
such a great series!
Mascara Simone is ready to shoot daggers at Nate 😅
If you react to the movie Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, you'll find out what an awesome call out it was for Jamie to teach Roy how to ride a bike. That scene was one of my favorites for this entire series. I got a lump in my throat from the homage it was doing.
Oh, when that song started, I damn near fell out of my chair from laughing so hard.
I loved the use of that tune for the very same reason.
Sidenote: young Marja’s first and only tap dance routine was to this song, in 1969.
Simone calling Jamie and Roy "Nerds" was the best thing ever.
ALSO: Magic Tea is the best.
"Good old fashioned Orientalism." I must point out Kintsugi is a phenomenal art form that may have originated in the "Orient" (as George put it) but it doesn't mean it's it shouldn't be expanded on, or avoided by other cultures, because it has wonderful meaning and value. Kintsugi is very healing for those with scars. Why are you upset, George, that any humans can find health benefits from art, history, meaning or culture?
Nate is never sure of who he is or who he really wants to be. He is not even sure of who he is angry at and over what. He is so mistreated by people before Ted arrives that the lesson he learned is that successful and powerful people punch down at those with less power and disregard their existence, which is why he treats Will and Colin badly. He also doesn't get the lesson from Rebecca about finding your power. He instead is always spitting at himself. He's focused on the hate he has for the negative parts of himself and not reinforcing the positive parts of himself.
As for Jade, I went back to rewatch the first time, she appears and actually she is very friendly at first and happy to make the reservation. When he asks for the window table, her smile drops and says she has to ask Derek. Incidentally Derek is the name of the manager at the American restaurant in Amsterdam that all the employees are complaining about. Same Derek? Who knows? Every other interaction between Jade and Nate is one where Nate is either trying to show off (friend of Roy), uncertain and flustered. He is never being being direct. Once she sees him being direct to Anastasi, defending this part of his life, being a human, then Jade is willing to connect with him.
You guys should do Shrinking after this, Brett Goldstein (Roy) created it, has a similar tone.
I needed this today. Thank you.
The guy is lying down, so that when the wall jumps, the kicker won't attempt to put it under the wall (Messi has done that a few times) ....
31:57 Bro that can happen David Beckham did it and a few others over 20 years ago. They weren't from a movie.😂🤣😂🤣 Shaolin Soccer ⚽ good one though👍🏾🙏😇
The Amsterdam espisode is so good. I love how they gave Trent Crimm of the Independant more depth.
The guy was laying down to block any shot on the ground since the wall often jumps. A sneaky way to score is to shoot low when they all jump. So one player will lay on the ground to block low shots.
Re: 1:09:00 a teammate not supporting him the reality is the hypermasculine world of men's team sports openly gay players have been few and far between so lack of acceptance and public ridicule is a natural fear.
I’ve also got myself a Silly Goose sweater. My spirit animal!
Rupert has an Emperor Palpatine throne room window.
These always go by so fast!
I once saw a guy walking down the street sideways like a crab in Amsterdam🤔 my favourite city😅
This season did have a few missteps - notably the Keeley storyline. But it’s still Ted Lasso and it still has the heart .
Not sure about something as simple as a counselor/therapist, but I believe I read when this came out that psychologist/psychiatrists aren’t supposed to date a patient for 3-5 years after they stop seeing a patient, because they can take advantage of the deep psychological knowledge they have of the patient. The years long delay allows the person to change as a person so that by the time the Dr dates them they are enough of a different person that you aren’t taking advantage of them. At least that is my understanding of it depending on which state you live in the U.S. There are similar rules about a high school teacher dating a former student, they are supposed to stay away to give the former student time to go out and live their own life and find someone on their own. If they decide years later they want to date a former teacher, at least they lived some life on their own for a few years.
Thanks for putting these together! I know the editing must have been a lot!
George doing Jamie's accent gives massive Benny Wong vibes.
I love the pillow fight call back to season one.
Jade isn't cold. She's just Polish
Yes!!! I've waited so much for this reaction.
I think the casting of Teds son is physically based on the boy in the iron giant.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
The music selection that they chose for Nate was Rakim “Fallow the Leader” Rakim is the GOAT rapper…. He is the best that ever did it.
Even when Nate was shy, he cared more than anything what others thought of him. How important it was that he got showed his Dad that he merited a window seat. Remember back when he was insulted that Roy didn't find him a threat after kissing Keeley? Or how Ted became the enemy as soon as he didn't completely dote on Nate? Major Daddy issues. Jade' presents a little weird but she uses acting obtuse to deflect behaviour and situations she doesn't feel like dealing with. When Nate finally gets completely human and stops grasping for attention, she likes him. It feels like she singled him out for that cold treatment because she saw him better than most do and saw another Nate in there. There's someone for everyone (foreshadowed by that "your baggage matches right up" Ted comment about Jane and Beard)
George: do you like that dress?
Simone: no 😃
As someone who works at a museum, please do not take mushrooms or any other hallucinogenics before going. It has happened several times and every time the person leaves with either the police or the paramedics.
Goals from the midfield, farther and even in open play (not a free kick) are not the rule but they are not uncommon by any means either, there have been goals scored by the opponent golie from end to end.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the real football player Zava resembles scored more difficult goals from a similar distance.
Just the intro has me super excited
You’ve talked about the therapist driving them apart. But I was thinking maybe she feel for the therapist and stopped trying.
I actually really started to like Rupert's character. He wasn't entirely awful. I did like how he treated Nate and seemed like he truly believed in him.
hey man studying tape hittin the weights looking good bud!
Somehow i must think of Liverpool and Klopp when i watch Ted Lasso.
Ironically Nick Mohammed has just been in a series of Taskmaster here in the UK and a lovelier, sweeter man you couldn't wish to find.
31:55 - those goals happened really, take Alex Alves for Hertha 20 years ago as exacmple.
Now that you've seen Ted, and Ted Lasso.... it's time for Better Off Ted!
I will echo what everyone else has said. The snake oils saleswoman is just saying that she will be a mother, that’s all she is saying.
Oh but I thought it was going to go down a much darker path, Rebecca is god mother to Sassy's daughter, and how could she become her legal guardian...
I’m confused about what you’re confused about with Jade. It’s intended to be like she’s cold to him when he’s being a huge douchebag. When he stops, she opens up and lets him in. Also I still get the icky feeling whenever someone brings up Ted and Rebecca together. It’s the same feeling I get watching Luke and Leia kiss. Just gross
I never clicked so fast on a video 😍
two Ted's in two days we're spoilt xD
I wish more people who watch this show would take the ‘be curious, not judgmental’ lesson to heart. Most reactors forget it within 5 minutes.
Bears George, I saw and had a long conversation with Smoky The Bear when I tried.
Day 1 of recommending the 2011 Adventures of Tintin film. One of the best animated films I’ve ever seen
Even though it had some great moments the first half of this season was a hit off due to Shandy, Jack and Zava. From the Amsterdam episode onwards it’s back to being a masterpiece.
I would love to see what Canadians think of Letterkenny and Shorsey
The ethics for therapists is 5 years after termination of services for a romantic relationship and 2 years for non-romantic friendships. I’m a therapist; this is in place bc there’s a power dynamic which can easily get messy
Been waiting for this sooo long xD
FINALLY!!!!! I’ve been waiting SOOOO LOOONNNGG!!!
P.s. love you guys
