| 0:00.0 | Mayo, did you watch the Ted Lasso season 4 teaser trailer thingy that they released? |
| 0:06.0 | Yeah, I did, yeah. |
| 0:06.9 | Looks good. |
| 0:07.9 | I'm nervous. |
| 0:08.9 | So, season three was not my favorite season at all. |
| 0:13.1 | I think it was actually the worst of the three. |
| 0:15.2 | I agree. |
| 0:15.7 | But they did nail the ending. |
| 0:17.7 | So I'm nervous about them coming back and kind of restarting the ship again. |
| 0:23.5 | Yeah, I don't know if this was like a trailer, trailer trickery, but Sadecas himself was quite |
| 0:29.1 | heavily featured in it, right? And there was a lot of rumors that he'd kind of like, you know, |
| 0:33.1 | stepped back, was taking time off, had to be convinced to return. And maybe part of the reason they were doing it around a women's team is that they would have other people kind of running the show. But based on the trailer, it seems like Ted himself is actually going to be the women's team coach, so presumably it would be in it quite a lot. It sounds like he's going to be in all of it. If he's the women's coach, like, I don't know. |
| 0:54.6 | I'm excited for it. I hope it's a return to form after kind of what I thought was a little bit. Like season three, I saw somebody describe it as kind of self-indulgent, and I think that's fair. They just kind of tried to do too much. The episodes got too long, and they kind of lost the charm of what made season one |
| 1:10.9 | and most of season two? I mean, people say season |
| 1:12.9 | one was like a pandemic darling and if too long and they kind of lost the charm of what made season one in most of season two i mean |
| 1:12.0 | people say season one was like a pandemic darling and that if it came out now it was like wouldn't be as |
| 1:16.5 | good but that's not true i don't really agree that's not true i think season one is just fantastic |
| 1:20.1 | um self-contained almost yes perfect little story and there's nothing wrong with two and three |
| 1:26.5 | but they're not anywhere near the |
| 1:27.8 | same level as what season one is in my, in my view. But people love it. You know, it's, when did it come out? Like, 2023 was the end of Ted Asa and it's still in the top 10 Apple TV charts that's that popular. It's like, you know, easily, more recently, they've said that, you know, like severance and pluribus are their most popular shows |
| 1:45.4 | ever but until those two came around it was like Ted Lassau was like the most popular thing |
| 1:49.3 | by an absolute country mile and i expect that in august it will dominate the chai again for ages |
