Special Episode - Marc Bernardin on the WGA Strike
Hello all you Lasso fans! Today we take a little timeout to discuss a matter of great importance to Hollywood and all of us that love entertainment. The WGA strike has been going on for over 70 days, and last week the writers were joined by SAG-AFTRA representing many of the actors in Hollywood on the picket line. We sat down with Marc Bernardin (Batman Beyond, Picard, Caste Rock) to discuss the issues that lead to the strike, and the conditions on the ground. It is an insightful conversation, and we hope you get a lot out of it.

It's the showdown we've all been waiting for since the end of last season as Richmond is gearing up for a top-of-the-table matchup with Nate and West Ham United.

What Would Ted Lasso Do (with author Lucy Broadbent)
Hello all you Lasso fans! Today we get a chance to speak with journalist and author, Lucy Broadbent. We speak to her about her own fish out of water story, being British and ending up in California. We also discuss how she came to write What Would Ted Lasso Do: How Ted's Positive Approach Can Help You. It is an excellent short read that uses not only episodes of the show, but also direct quotes from outside interviews to come up with a roadmap for how Ted uses positive psychology to get us through the day.

Ted Lasso and Fatherhood with Jason Mewes
Hello all you Lasso fans! Today is a much different kind of interview. Craig and Jeremy had the chance recently to speak with Jason Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks) about his new podcast with Kevin Smith, Father's Day. Once we found out that Jason was also a Ted Lasso fan it seemed like a perfect fit to have him on the show. In this episode you get more Dad talk then we've been able to have in any previous episode of PB&B. We also discuss what Jason does for his own mental health, and that leads to a very happy discussion of Lego.
In addition to the main interview, at the end of the episode you'll hear an interview Craig was able to of with Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson about the upcoming DVD/Blu-ray release of Clerks 3.

Hello all you Lasso fans! We are back with another episode featuring some amazing content creators from the Ted Lasso community. It was great to be asked to join Coach Beard's Book Club to speak to them all about One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.

The Geekiness of Ted Lasso LIVE at Fan Expo St. Louis 2022
Hello all you Lasso fans! We are back with another episode of the show, this one our first attempt at a live PB&B episode. We were invited to participate in Fan Expo St. Louis back in May, and we wanted to make sure we released our show from the creator stage to you. Being a Fan Expo, we thought what better way to talk about our beloved Ted than to mention all the ways the show plays to the geeky audience that might be out there. Our apologies if audio quality is not the best, we actually had some difficulties recording directly through their board. Hope you enjoy the show!
