21 JUN 2023 · 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. Full show notes and transcript will be available at https://www.tedlassopod.com/ted-lasso-episode-03-01-smells-like-mean-spirit Richmond Til We Die is a 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!

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.

9 MAY 2023 · Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds!

(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.

13 APR 2023 · Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation with Cinco Paul, the co-creator, executive producer, songwriter, and showrunner of Schmigadoon. In addition to Schmigadoon, Cinco Paul is also known for his work as a screenwriter for beloved films like Horton Hears a Who, The Lorax, The Secret Life of Pets, and the Despicable Me trilogy – all of which he worked on with his longtime friend and collaborator Ken Daurio. For the uninitiated, Schmigadoon is a musical comedy television series that centers on the relationship of two NYC doctors, Josh and Melissa – played by Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong, respectively. The show is a brilliant love letter to musical theater which also cleverly parodies many of the genre’s most recognizable features through hilarious and heartfelt performances from the A-list cast of musical theatre stars. We here at Richmond Til We Die are huge fans of Schmigadoon. Luckily, Cinco’s a big fan of Ted Lasso too, and so we were thrilled to have an opportunity to chat with the man who helped create another one of our favorite shows! And this is your official warning - there are some light spoilers for the first four episodes of Ted Lasso’s third season as well the first three episodes of Schmigadoon’s second season in this episode.

11 APR 2023 · Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett remember Grant Wahl's legacy in a conversation with his brother, Eric Wahl. The fourth episode of Ted Lasso's third season is dedicated to sports journalist Grant Wahl, who died suddenly and unexpectedly while covering the 2022 Men's World Cup in Qatar, and his tragic passing left the soccer community in the United States in a state of shock and sadness. In this conversation, Grant's brother Eric shares some personal anecdotes about their relationship, discusses Grant's legacy in the world of soccer journalism, explains what it means to him to have an episode of the show dedicated to his brother, and shares about the incredible outpouring of support he and Grant's wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, have received since Grant's untimely death. Grant was a massive fan of Ted Lasso, and it's safe to say that Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt were fans of his as well. After learning of Grant's passing, the creators of the show decided to dedicate an episode of the third season to his memory and legacy. At the end of the episode, we've also included some closing comments from sports journalist Julie Stewart-Binks, who was a longtime friend and former colleague of Grant's. We had a full conversation with Julie about Ted Lasso and her work, which we'll release in the coming weeks. But we wanted to include her comments about Grant in this episode.

Currently, Lou serves as the Director of Pride Sports UK, the Campaign Director of Football v Homophobia, the Co-Chair of Pride House International, and a board member of the Fare Network. We connected with Lou on Twitter through her work with the organization Football vs Homophobia, which is an international initiative opposing homophobia in football (aka soccer). FvH tackles this issue at all levels of the game, all around the world, in creative ways that both support queer and trans folks while also educating and empowering others to be confident and effective allies. Of course, Lou’s a big fan of Ted Lasso, too. So we invited her on our show to chat about Ted and AFC Richmond squad, the work she does as a sports activist, and the representation of queer characters on Ted Lasso generally as well as the newly-cemented status of Colin as a queer character specifically.
