What is interesting to me, is that in the first season there is an episode where Richmond loses a big game and the next day, Beard is sitting at his desk all exhausted and wearing the same clothes as the night before. Lasso says "Whoa! What time did you get home last night?" And Beard says "I didn't." This just must be what he does after a big loss.
Strangeness of this episode comes from the fact it was ordered late. Apparently Apple had originally ordered so many episodes then decided late into production they wanted two more so this and the Xmas episode (which also doesn't quite fit the ongoing story) were added after the season had been laid out.
That’s exactly correct. They had a full 10 episode story written out, and then season 1 came out and became a phenomenon so Apple asked them to write two more. They didn’t want to throw a wrench into the story they’d already written so they came up with those two episodes as bottle episodes that don’t impact the overall plot.
Both episodes are outside the narrative of the second season. I love the Xmas episode. This is more unusual. Based on a movie After Hours. The reveal at the end, he’s still got his disco trousers on. 😂
Thierry Henry is regarded by a lot of people as the best Forward to ever play in the premier league, so he's not just an announcer lol. Its actually insane they have so many huge people of actual football heritage in the show
factssss when i seen henry i was like holy shit they got someone in here thats been regarded as one of the best forwards if not the best forward when he was at his prime (not saying hes the literal best forward but when he was in his prime nobody else was tearing up the prem at the time)
It's crazy to me that they don't know who Thierry Henry is. I lived halfway across the world and never watched a full game of soccer but I knew who Thierry Henry was growing up
@@TheDaawesum1 I kinda wanna see their reactions to prime henry now cause a lot of comments are saying who he is and what he’s done😂he even played in the states at one point in his career
I really love when a series can take a pause from the usual to explore something a little different or dive into one of their characters a little deeper.
I love this episode for reasons I can’t really put into words, the fever like dream of it is just amazing. And I appreciate the little extra characterization of Beard and the 3 fans.
Couple of things: The sports analysts were both the superstar football players in their day. One of them is now the highest paid man at the BBC. The song playing when Beard’s phone goes dead and he freaks out is actually about a man planning to kill himself, so they really wanted you to think that’s what going to happen. Also: collecting men’s pants (trousers) as memories is one step away from keeping body parts of victims as trophies.
THe song 'Blue Moon' is the theme song of Man CIty and it appears numerous times in the background of the episode. The obvious homage to Scorsese's 'After Hours' really made this a blast for me to watch. Beard is a very complex character throughout the series. At this stage, we know that he is intensely loyal to Ted and we know he has a rather adventurous lifestyle. Gradually understanding more and more about Beard is one of the joys of the series for me. Also, Beard uses the name Declan McManus which is the real name of Elvis Costello.
I went to university in Leeds, UK, and there was at least one nightclub that was set up in an old church building. It’s obviously set up this way in the episode so Beard can have his confessional moment, but I would totally believe that basement club was a real thing in London.
This episode was, among other things, a love letter to Burning Man, and not just the poster in Beards apartment. What you saw there was what we burners call a Playa Walkabout, except it was London and not the Black Rock desert. Basically, a walkabout is wandering off into the city with no specific destination or having any agenda or expectations. Whatever happens, happens and frequently you’ll connect with strangers in unique ways, including receiving clothing and other gifts, you may get into an argument or five (although there is usually no violence involved) and as often as not you end the night dancing like a fool and connecting to your friends/lover in all new and beautiful ways. Every burner I know who has seen this episode 100% agrees that ep was one of the best representations of a night out at Burning Man ever presented on commercial media.
Fascinating. My imaginative side sees the appeal of the walkabout, but my rationalist side thinks it sounds like a good way to get kidnapped. What's your own experience with walkabouts been like?
I was coming here to say the exact same thing. It definitely resembles many of my walkabouts. Once in 2017 me and a couple friends found a giant swing in deep Playa and sat there with a bunch of strangers talking about some existentialist shit to after bike all together to a random fish disco art car parked next to a pirate art car with neon lights on. Fucking amazing night with great friends. Greetings fellow burner
She’s not crazy, she just doesn’t let shit stop her from just being herself and saying what she feels. And it turns out she feels a lot. It’s very condescending and judgmental to call someone crazy just because they’re doing something you wouldn’t, or that not most people you know would or that appear a little much it over the top to you.
Funnily enough, this vid went live for Patreon/Beyond members on the morning of Oct 29. The night of Oct 28 was a full moon. And as a hotel worker I am ever so grateful when I don't have to work on the nights of full moons. People are so damn weird on those nights!
Thierry Henry is a football legend and the greatest premier league player of all time who played for Arsenal. He's french and his name is pronounced (Tea-Air-Ree.....On-Ree)
Arguably, one of my favorites. In this one, they give us a glimpse into the life of Coach Beard. -- A film Noir, Existential tangle. -- And that is just the first layer of the onion. -- Don't get me started on Jane. There's a thesis worth of stuff to unpack there... Keep up the good work, guys! :)
Part of her taking Beard home I think was to make the big dude jealous, you could see the smile on her face when he was beating on the door. She got a kick out of it, and she may have known who Coach Beard was.
I know a lot of people really didn’t like this episode but personally I love it. It’s different, it’s fun, it’s got Brendan Hunt dancing with a hula hoop
@@rickykozak58 He's along those lines. Messi, Pele, Maradona and Cristiano Ronaldo are like gods, I think Thierry along with Beckham, Ronaldo Nazario, Ronaldinho, Lampard, Totti, Pirlo, Puyol, etc... are a tierbelow but very, very close to them.Thierry has a special place between those two tiers cause it was greatly because of him Arsenal could go in the invincibles run.
The best series often have episodes that mostly feature “secondary” characters, like “Peter” from Mythic Quest or “Teddy Perkins” from Atlanta. I love these stand alone excursions.
Aside from being based on After Hours, there are a ton of other movie references in here like the Lady in Red from The Matrix, Jamie's dad scene being Clockwork Orange, the night club crosses being Romeo+Juliette. Few others but can't remember them all offhand. There are also other things like the metaphors to discuss, most notably the key. Absolutely love this episode as it stands out from the rest because it is the only time we experience Beard's reality which is very different from Ted Lasso's.
A lot of older churches will have a night vigil of some sort, especially ones attached to traditional monasteries. I think it's a holdover from when churches really were a place of sanctuary, and people could go there for safety, protection and comfort. The doors are basically open 24/7, and it was absolutely taboo to cause harm inside the walls of a church.
You guys should react to a Thierry Henry compilation after having been "introduced" to him here. As an Arsenal fan who grew up in the 90s/early 2000s, I was blessed to watch this guy represent our team. Absolute legend, and widely considered the best striker in Premier League history.
Part of the reason for this episode is that Brendan Hunt is really good at hula hooping and they wanted a reason for beard to get to the point where he could
The first time I watched this episode it didn’t sit well immediately. It was an odd one. Then as it progressed, I realized they were showing how, this man of few words may have more life that we don’t know of. Beard is always seem to be a quiet genius, knows a lot of stuff but doesn’t really tell everyone unless he’s asked. And then comes season 3 and it will all be unveiled. So I can’t wait for you to react to it. So hurry and watch them! 😁
Have you guys noticed beard is the hitchhiker from community when Anne moves in with Troy and Abed? "This song is about race mixing; it's called don't you do it..."
Thierry Henry is a legend, he was an Arsenal player and, along with his team won the premier league as invincibles, they went a whole league season without losing a single game. It has only been achieved twice in history of football, he's an incredible player and would love to see you react to some of this best goals and actions. The other rpesenter if I remember correctly are Gary Lineker who was a Tottenham player, We also see Ian Wright and Gary Neville in other episodes. Brendan Hunt is a massive Arsenal fan and along with Jason Sudeikis have attended several Arsenal games and have met players and coaches. Mikel Arteta, current Arsenal Coach says he's a big fan of the show and have use some of the coaching stuff from the show in his coaching style, and you can see it. There's a video of Arteta giving the word to one of the club photographers so he can lift the spirit of the players, it's the same exact thing Ted did with Nate last season. On the other side, Brett Goldstein is a Tottenham fan, and Arsenal and Tottenham have a strong rivalry, everytime they play is the north london derby, one of the biggest matches in England.
_"they went a whole season without losing a single game"_ - Yes, Arsenal supporters do like to throw this claim about, but that's not exactly the case, is it? Or you would have won the European Cup, the FA Cup and even the Whatever-sponsor-they're-using-this-year aka The Mickey Mouse Cup, wouldn't you? Because the truth is that you went unbeaten _in the Premier League_ that season. And that is an absolutely awesome record to have, so I can never understand why anyone would try to misrepresent it. It would be gilding the lily.
Fixed it, Iput it that way so they can understand better, cause they are not used to the idea of playing differente cups and league at the same time@@noneofyourbeeswax01
So the reason this episode is kinda random is because there were originally supposed to be 10 episodes but the network wanted 2 more episodes. So this one and the Christmas one were added!!
Since he talked about being on shrooms last episode, I assumed he was tripping. But it's also fun to think this is just how Beard experiences the world.
29:11 Aaron is right actually, he's basically saying if all for one is good on one side of the fence then it's good on the other as well. While Eric wants to do a Batman lol
This (along with the Christmas episode) were the two “extra” episodes that Apple ordered. While some shows would have them be filler…not this show character development all the way!
Glad they gave us some Beard backstory but I don’t know if we can take any more lol. Great ep tho. Very good eccentricity in showing someone who is so reserved otherwise
I thought he was going to die, especially when the woman in red dress showed up. She even had pants of her previous lovers (thought it was a clear refference that se was death).
I feel like I'm in the minority of really hating this episode. The previous episode is phenomenal and then you transition to this and it just takes all the wind out of your sails. Makes no sense, has no contribution to the overall story, and you don't even learn anything new about Beard.
I've got no problem with anyone hating this episode, but I must argue that it DOES give you glimpses into Beard's personality, whether or not you learn anything "new" about him.
The "dropping keys" motif really made me think something happened on his doorstep and this was all playing out in his head. So, when it turned out to all be real, I was actually disappointed on a narrative level (but pleased Beard was okay).
Dammit Erin... Jamies dad insulted and tried instigating an entire room of people. Then he found one of the guys in the street with a group and tried to take out his humiliation on 1 person with a pipe. Calvins right. If you initiate shit be a man and take what comes back at you.
Enjoying Ted Lasso while it lasts, especially for the wild ride that is this episode, but I'd be lying if I didnt say I'm not impatiently waiting for Doctor Who. :)
Why would they think he would die? They never gave an inkling of that lol. I was excited to see his night out after they hinted it at the end of last episode
