You should watch Welcome to Wrexham!
What I think I appreciate the most is when Jamie punches his dad he’s not happy about it. It didn’t make him feel better. He wants what Sam has with his dad and he’s so broken that he doesn’t. And then that hug… I never not cry with that hug.
The stride Brett Goldstein uses in that scene - arms spaced away from his body making him seem wider/larger. The silence and direct approach lends a lot of intimidation to the scene which is reflected in what Jamie had to feel in dealing with his father. Then turning it around with brotherly embrace - perfect scene.
Always cry when Roy hugs him. The flinch of Jamie just before.
Right! How can you not cry
You can also see a little flinch from Jamie just before Roy hugged him.
I've seen that hug half-a-dozen times. The first time it filled me with a sense of dread seeing Roy come at a vulnerable Jaime. But even after half-a-dozen times seeing it that hug takes the wind out of me.
The flinch from Jamie before Roy hugs him 😭
Gets me every time
Same thing he did on S1 when Dani approached him for the first time (when he was introduced), everybody thought then that Jamie was an ah, when probably was just and instintctive reaction, ptsd.
@@susannariera Absolutely PTSD
@@susannariera rewatching ted lasso, i caught on many hints which proved jamie's abusive relationship with his dad in season 1. in season 1 episode 2, sam was talking about how his dad is so great towards him, and jamie makes a comment "give me a fucking break", we all thought he was just being an asshole for no reason but now we know WHY
One of my most anticipated specific reactions for this show was that Roy hugging Jamie scene, specifically Aaron's reaction to it. When it comes to emotional family-type moments, Aaron has some incredible reactions, and that did not disappoint.
Jamie's dad made it very clear that his behaviour is more than a common occurrence, and that is something Jamie had to endure all of his life. My interpretation is that when he was younger, his only solace was playing good football and looking up to the poster of Roy on his wall. So the hug was something that almost reverted him into a child and the floodgates were open. Great way of writing a character's arc
It definitely brought me back to the S1 finale when Jamie’s dad threw things at him in the locker room for making the extra pass that lead to the goal that won the match. Jaime should have been praised for the assist instead of berated for not trying to make the shot himself.
And suddenly the whole “I don’t quit” fucking hits.
Woah
Though not in your summary, I loved that when Beard confesses to being high on shrooms at one match, Roy instantly knows which match it was.
The fact that Roy was Jaime's idol growing up made this hug feel that much special. Roy was his childhood hero, he has his poster on the wall (season one episode 4).
When he finally met his hero in person as a teammate, Roy was old, washed and not the player anymore, so he was disapointed.
I think the scene with Jamie and his dad is the best scene in the show for me. It also shows that Jamie is trying to be better than his dad as he tried to diffuse the situation in a calm way with words but as soon as he is provoked, in that split second he reverts back to how his dad would act and you can see he hates it and is shocked at his punch. It's insanely good acting from Phil Dunster.
Jamie tensing up before Roy hugs him always breaks my heart!
Was lucky enough to film on this episode as an extra, You can catch a glimpse of me walking past Ted carry the Drs bike (maroon jacket, black hat) Had some other scenes as well :)
That is very cool to hear! Such a beautiful show to be part of in any way. I'm jealous.
Jamie's reaction was perfect, it was complete disassociaion. The team in shock, realizing what Jamie has been dealing with and why he is the way he is. No one stepping in at 1st to help him was heart breaking, but they were in shock and didn't know what to do and Ted walking away again was devastating but you understand why. Than Roy, they way Jamie flinched when he approached expecting violence, than Roy just holds him tighter. The way he opens his fist and puts a gentle hand on Jamie's back and just let's him breakdown.
Same way he flinched on S1, when Dani approached him...but back then we all thought that he was just being a jealous ah...poor Jamie.
@@susannariera Exactly, Jamie's abuse doesn't excuse his bad behavior, you don't get to hurt people because you're hurting, but it explains a lot and if people had see through his suppose prick behavior and realized what was happening he could have gotten help a lot sooner.
All therapists have their own therapists. It's kind of expected within the occupation.
The biggest problem with Sam and Rebecca's relationship is he's an athlete playing on a team sport and she's the owner of the team. There's a lot of conflict of interest problems that could arise from that relationship and it could potentially be problematic in the locker room as well.
Yeah I feel like they found their writing in those waters and diverted course immediately: I mean also consider Sam was also the guy over whom they started controversy with Dubai Air, and Rebecca could easily be correct in the perception of grooming
Apparently Bill Lawrence wasn’t as involved in Season 3, and I wonder if his absence might have contributed to them dropping it offscreen. That said, I also wouldn’t be surprised if they heard THAT criticism after the fact and balked at the realisation of what a minefield they were treading…
It always bothered me that Nate's "confession" wasn't on the same level as everybody else's. It was more along the lines of one of the humble brag answers to old standard interview questions - "What's your greatest weakness?" "I work too hard" - than it was an actual confession of something wrong or deeply personal. Ted had a panic attack during a key moment in a game, Beard coached while compromised, Roy shirked an aspect of his job. Those are things that would hurt their reputations as coaches if it got out. Nate copped to having great ideas and pretending they just came to him instead of him working hard behind the scenes to come up with them?
Jamie and Roy bromance is the best
"my body just flooded with equal amounts of testosterone and estrogen."
"Perfectly balanced"
"As all things should be." ❤❤❤ you guys are perfect!
The doctor who is helping the therapist when Ted picks her up is Roy Kent’s sister
Lol, for a second I read "Doctor Who is helping the therapist"...I'm too excited about the 60th anniversary I guess! 😂
@@susannariera lol Roy Kent for the 16th doctor
@@heesoo18 I see him more as a grumpy companion, lol. Imagine him and Donna together!
Going back and hearing Ted’s speech about Earl the dog in episode 1 after learning this information makes it so much more profound
That hug from Roy was so emotionally powerful and really well done.
I cry every time Roy hugs Jamie. It’s so beautiful and sad and Jamie just looks like a sad little boy and I just 😭😭😭😭
So this is the episode that might have been the biggest gut punch for me. I lost my dad to suicide when I was 10. I feel for Ted in this episode but I genuinely don’t have the words to describe the feelings of loss in a situation like this. Then you parallel that to Jamie and his dad. My dad had his demons and I have a lot of genuinely traumatic memories of him, but I also love that man with all that I am
I was 9 when my dad killed himself and I know what you mean about a gut punch, at the time when this season was airing, once a week after I got off work I would go to my moms house and cook dinner and we would watch the latest episode and when this scene came on I felt like I had been slapped across the face. It such an odd thing, I’m 30 now and it was so long ago but my skin still crawls when that subject comes up out of nowhere.
Rebecca in no way has groomed Sam, but they will always be at very different points in their lives. They're still sweet together.
The offside rule means that the attacking team cannot have a player (while receiving a ball) behind the other teams defense line. That way you cant just stand around the other goal and wait for a teammate to kick the ball
It’s not that Jamie’s dad wanted him to be a footballer, which they may both believe, it’s that he wanted to be a footballer and is drowning in jealousy and rage at his own failures which he then projects onto poor Jamie
Well spotted the doctor who treats Sharon is Roy’s sister.
I found it surprising how shocked American viewers are about football pitches being different sizes when baseball field are all kinds of shape, form and size.
True, but to be fair the diamond (with all the bases and pitcher's mound) _is_ standardized. The outfield can be different sizes, but that only matters sometimes.
I think shape has something to do with it as well. A pitch is most similar to an American football field, and those are standardized, so I think most Americans expect a pitch to be standard too.
@@theadamabrams the outfiel may only matter sometimes, but when those times are garunteed points with homeruns, then the differences are significant.
@@theadamabrams like baseball, the box, goals, middle circle, penalty spot are all the same size/distance too, it's just the outer limite that are of different size but still have a fixed possible range in the rule (with min and max for each side)
I've seen that hug a hundred times and it gets me every. single. time.
11:25 punch
11:59 hug
12:33 teds dad
18:46 my beard grew
The whole "brain development" argument feels spurious to me - we treat 21 year olds as adults in basically every way (at least in the UK). Sam is a grown man, end of. As Aaron says, they're not marrying or getting a mortgage together so his supposed inability to fully understand consequences because he's under 25 (ish) is irrelevant.
The _problem_ with Sam and Rebecca is the employer/employee issue, pure and simple (IMO).
If it helps, the offside rule is as follows.
When a player passes a ball to a teammate, and that teammate is positioned between the goalkeeper and the last defender when the ball leaves the foot of the passer, you're offside
That was a perfect placement for that George Harrison beware of darkness song. Just really encapsulated the whole mood.
Whoever put that song in there is a genius.
@@fayesouthall6604 Ten bucks says it was Bill Lawrence. Dude is in the upper echelon with James Gunn when it comes to perfectly executed needle drops.
@@peteryang5056 His wife picks a lot of the music apparently. She’s an actress who plays the neighbour in Shrinking on Apple TV a great series produced by Bill and written by Brett Goldstein.
Damn Aaron gets so emotional with these scenes 😢
Offsides are very hard to explain and it has nothing to do with what Calvin said. But even for people playing football sometimes get mixed, so don't worry about it haha
If you don't have the ball, you need two opposition players in front of you at all times....
@@archmaester6594Two? I thought it was one.. Does the goalkeeper count?
@@archmaester6594 Nope.
@@a1iriceit does't matter. It's two players. Usually the keeper and a defender. There are situation where keepers go forward.
@@a1iricethe goalkeeper is normally one of the two
I’m really excited because the next episode is one of if not my favorite episode
I love the next episode
a player in the midfield can pass the ball to the wing while a striker is offside (passively), at the same time the winger starts running for the ball and hypothetically crosses the ball into the box for the striker to score a goal. The striker wasn't actively participating in the pass the midfielder made to the wing/winger. He was passively offside in the play leading up to the goal. Once the winger makes the cross into the box, the striker has to be behind the defensive line (as long as the player is not ahead of the last defender, then he's not offside).
It's kind of akin to a lateral pass in american football. Say the person receiving the pass was ahead of the passer but he took a step back to catch the ball. it wasn't an illegal forward pass, but it appeared that way.
In soccer, it's a similar principle. As long as the player receiving the pass is behind the last defender (not including the GK) when the passer kicks the ball, then the player receiving the pass is not offside.
Jamie flinched when Roy hugged him. 😢
Roy hugging Jaime and Leaves from the Vine always get me, no matter what and no matter how many times I see it.
I thought Ted's dad commited suicide in 2x02 but the way they revealed it was perfect and still shocked me
Yeah when Ted says his dad was harder on himself than he was on Ted
Been waiting for this episode it'd probably my favorite in the entire series it's just so good
Cannot wait to see your reaction to the next episode, definitely one of the best.
Great discussion!
This episode is such a rollercoaster of emotions. Wow, what a wild ride!
This episode is HEAVY
This is the first time i have noticed zirough (the goalie) was the first player to stand up when jamie punches his dad.
I fuckin love this show and miss it so much 😩😩😩
i’ve been waiting for this for so long, here we go!!
Such an emotional episode
Probably my favorite episode of the entire series
15:07
Tim Duncan’s last game with the ✌🏽 to the sky as he gracefully left the court for the last time …..
“Did she die?!!!!” … No, only greyhounds die in Ted Lasso. Sam’s dad also did the voice of the big robot body in “The Husbands of River Song.”
The Beard dying predictions... they're gonna like the next episode
These reactions are the best thing of the week since they finished B99
Man. Ted's call to Dr. Sharon about his dad really got to Arron. Feel you man. Lots of hard emotion here. Erki calling the death call for Beard???? OMG. Rebecca and Hannah looked incredible this episode.
Everyone is surprised about the size of the pitch, but no two baseball fields are the same size...
is Rick ok? He hasn't been in many reactions on any shows lately. He really seemed to like Ted Lasso?
Been having some personal issues for a while so he’s been taking a hiatus from a lot of reactions
Medical issues
so to explain, if you are on the attacking side, and you have the ball, now u wanna pass it to the Attacker.
cause Attackers, 1, 2 or however many, plays along with opponent defenders, in order to quickly beat them WHEN they receive the ball.
so, when you would pass the Attacker the ball, you need to make sure the Attacker is BEHIND the LAST defender atleast. if, by the moment the ball left your foot, the Attacker which will receive the ball is AHEAD of the last defender, then its offside. cause it would give the attacker unfair advantage, being him closer to the goal than the defender. (ahead and behind, based on a vertical line checked in replays or deemed by the referees)
and to clear WHY 'footballers' cant play on certain area of the field is because the opponent can or cannot play a HIGHER defense line. Your or the opponent defenders(or last man except GK) can create offside traps.
Offside traps are nothing but a defense line playing higher up the field and not allowing opponent's attackers to play close to your goal.
And to trigger the offside trap, the last defender usually runs up when they see the final critical pass is about to be made. better the defender, better the timing he can pull off being behind the attacker when the pass was made. And the last critical pass can be any sort of pass, lob pass, crosses, chip pass, or normal too. hope this helped :P
The next episode is gold
It’s like hockey; Each arena has its own measurements.
The nurse on 4:36 is actually Roy' sister in the show. Phoebe's mom.
Not a nurse, a doctor.
A football pitch can be between 80m-120m long and 60m-80m wide. So technically it can be a square. The larger the pitch, the more it favors better teams as it's harder to defend. So smaller teams often opt for a narrow field.
Hannah Waddingham is around 47 when they filmed this. May/December romances are something for water cooler talk, but like Erik, I just want them to be happy, if they work.
5:19 I know that Black-owned barbershops are really important spaces in the Black community and I know that Black hairstyles are a way of expressing one’s identity. In the US, discrimination on the basis of hairstyle is legal because it’s an attribute about yourself you can change, which is fucked. My point is, hair and haircuts are probably significant to Sam and Isaac in a way we whites might not understand.
In the context of the show, it’s a big deal because you can only get one haircut from Isaac per season.
Not sure if it's been mentioned before but i just realised that Roy Kent played Hercules in Thor: Love and Thunder and my mind is blown
Sam & Rebecca.
The whole point of that Bantr dating app was to get to know the person without all these hangups (body shape, physical attractiveness, age, etc).
They are compatible & should be allowed to date.
One thing i'm picking up from this on a rewatch is the reaction to Sam being 21 being more visceral than UK viewers/reactors. I know he's Nigerian and only been in the UK a couple of years, but while America has this weird aplit adult hood of not drinking and going out until your 21 in the UK it's 18 and i was running around between pubs underaged vetting served.
He's very mature for his age and would be as a 25 year old to be honest, particularly as a footballer, but in UK we have experienced much more of life before then than yourselves in the states
The offsides rule you mentioned about numbers of offensive and defensive players on a side of the field is a lacrosse rule not a soccer/football rule.
It's funny to me that they thought the size being slightly different was weird when MLB fields are different shapes
I’m pretty sure confidentiality would apply with a coworker. It doesn’t apply with a therapist though.
It's really interesting to hear Aaron talking about a 21 year old not being that young. It makes sense considering he either already had or was close to having kids at that point
But it is actually really young still. You are indeed responsible for your own actions but it's still a time were you learning impulse control. You haven't been an actual adult that long.
I'm gathering you might be an American? i know you guys are at school until 21 right? makes 21 seem really young to you, whereas in the UK a 21 year old has left school at 16 been in further education for a few years and probably has a job and a place of their own (maybe even have started a family)@@bethanychatman9531
@@bethanychatman9531and Melanie is not double his age, nor his boss (I assume).
@@bethanychatman9531 I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying it's an interesting perspective
21 years old is still pretty much a kid in my eyes. They obviously are responsible for their own actions but a 21 years still has no idea what fuck they're doing most the time.
I agree that they are at very different points in their lives, but I do think there's a big contrast between Sam and Rebecca and Rupert being with younger women.
Rebecca did not groom Sam, they got to know each other organically over the app, and her age and position of power were unknown at that time, whereas Rupert's age and status were up front for his situations. He was also married, which is a huge difference.
And Sam is the one who is eager to pursue the relationship. Rebecca's initial reaction to the idea is really negative. She's not trying to do the really creepy and nasty thing that so many famous and/or rich guys do when they get older of effectively 'trading up' their similar-age partner/wife for a younger model.
What an amazing story arc Jamie this show has. Just wow.
I appreciate Aarons approach to the age difference discussion but there is that unwritten line that just gives you pause when the difference is so vast. It’s a completely different generation between 50 and 21. That’s just too big a difference. But again-kudos to Aaron for not having an issue with them just trying something.
The way I explain offsides in soccer/football to make it as close of an analogy to American football is that the quarterback cannot throw a pass to a receiver who is behind the defense at the time the quarterback lets go of the ball. He can only throw it to someone who is at least even with the last defender. This obviously isn't a 1:1 translation, but I feel like it gets the point across.
Maybe I'm just naturally anti-social, but I prefer more alone time than time with others. Although I do need a balance of both. It took me a looong time to find a girl who is the same way and didn't take it personally. I don't have kids, so I guess I can get away with it...but I find that I enjoy my time together with people more when I've had some time to miss them. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" kinda thing.
Oh man as a lifelong soccer fan. You guys have no idea how much the lack of standardized pitch sizes thing bothers me.
At 21 I was making life and death decisions in the military, and any crime I committed I would have been tried as an adult, no questions. So I don't understand the argument about consensual relationships. The part that should be more disturbing here is the *huge* power disparity, which isn't a problem for me, until someone abuses that power, which is all too common with breakups. If the genders were reversed, the power disparity would still be the main issue here.
You will soon know what beard is up to😂😂😂😂😂
Offside rule.
Basically any player cannot be further than the last defender of the opposite team at the moment the ball is given to him by another teammate. Without it, you''d just have one guy at the top waiting for a long ball and that wouls surely be a goal.
Thing with the offiside rule is that right now is very extremist and detailed. so if the tip of your foot is an inch further than the last defender, that's offside, basically your whole body has to be on the same line or before than the last defender at the moment my teammate makes the pass and I have to be faster than the defender in order to catch the pass and have a goal.
Even among football fans is still a topic of debate of how is it understood and how it is being used in a real match, a lot of referees hve been in the eye for declairng something onside or offside.
While there aren't exact standardized field sizes in soccer, most other field measurements are standardized. The size of the goals, the size of the penalty area "18 yard box", and the location of the penalty spot are consistent across all fields. It's just the overall length and width of the field could change by a couple yards. The IFAB laws of the game give a range that the length and width must be, and then each individual competition, such as the Premier League, can further narrow the range that the field dimensions must be. I would compare it to the MLB. All of the stadiums have different outfield dimensions, but the bases, their sizes, and the distance between them are consistent on all fields. Also, across many sports, some fields are grass, and some are different kinds of artificial turf.
As for the passive offside that you were talking about, a player can be in an offside position as long as they aren't involved in the play. Once they become involved in the play, that is when it is an offside offense. A player becomes involved in the play when they pay/touch or attempt to play/touch the ball, or if they interfere with an opponent, impacting on the opponent's ability to play or challenge for the ball. It is only an offside offense if the player in an offside position becomes involved in play when the preceding touch of the ball was from a teammate, or it was a deliberate play of the ball by an opponent.
Offside Position:
A player is in an offside position if any part of their head, body, or feet is in their opponents half, and if any part of their head, body, or feet is nearer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the 2nd last defender. The reason it's the 2nd last defender is because usually the goalkeeper is considered to be the last defender, and the entire point of the offside rule is to prevent cherry picking/goal hanging. However, there are rare instances where the goalkeeper isn't either of the last 2 defenders.
They rally need to watch an offside vid it would make it easier for them
Eric’s alone time: does the term “relaxing in the gentleman’s way” mean anything in America?
Calvin is a bit off with the offside rule. A player is in an offside position if: any part of their body is nearer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent, when a teamate plays a pass to them.
👍🏾
They really need to watch an offside vid it would make it easier for them
Smoove Sam
Imagine being one of the players in that room when that happens with Jamie's dad. What do you even do? Attack your friend's father? I'm not proud of it but I think I'd freeze.
the next episode is gonna hit diffrent, if yall know what i mean 🤣 hello 🎶🎶....
Within the context of this show with these two characters, the age difference is not as cringy because both characters approach from a sincere perspective. In the real world not so much because one's character is layered with more complex emotion, motivation and intention.
Are you seriously implying that it's impossible for there to be a large age gap irl without one person being predatory? Or what exactly are you getting at?
👍
There’s literally 0 reason for me to think this as I’ve never met him but did not have Eric down as a smoker!
You know what, am at that point were if folks are so miffed about age gaps in relationships, why not start a petition or movement to change the age of consent to 25 or 30, that way you legally can't ehgage in adult behavior, jobs or consent until you 25. I always thought 'Love was Love' no matter who.
The pitch measurements are nearly always the same. The ones with different sizes are really not that different to one another. You can't have like an absolutely tiny pitch or an absolutely huge pitch, there's very little difference between each one.
Offside rule confusing Americans will always be funny to me.
Its one of those things where It can't be explained unless you have an example to look at it in front of you. But its pretty simple
Excited to see their reaction to the next episode. A Very divisive one. Some people love it, me included but tons of other people hate it and consider it the worse episode.
People don’t worry this much when guys date 21 year old girls, as if she is fully aware she’s dating someone more than twice her age. 20:47
Offside: passing to an attacker behind the enemy defense
you guys should know by now that Ted Lasso is not like other shows 😉
AFL (Aussie Rules) players run further in a game than football (soccer) players.
I forget was this before or after they encounter is dad on the street? Either way, what an asshole.
I love Sam and I love Rebecca, but together? Just no. Also, Jamie's reaction on S1, first time he met Dani, makes more sense now. We all thougth that he was being an ah, when probably was just and instintctive reaction due to ptsd, just like the flinch when Roy came to hug him.
