I like that the show demonstrates that it's easy to love guys like Ted Lasso but that, in the real world, in the professional world, kindness needs to have perspective for more than just who is in front of you and in the moment
Have this exact problem at work. My boss has been failing in his role, is absent at long times with no explanation, doesn't get us what we need to do our jobs. But his boss is s really nice friendly guy. Does my boss need to be fired no, but he needs a reality check from his boss, a get it together moment. But because his boss is this really nice lasso like guy he doesn't have that talk, and we all suffer for it.
@@agoo7581 “I mean, what he said added more value than what you said”. How so? National simply repeated what the video already said, so if I watched the video Nationals comment was already covered…no value. What I said was point out National likely likes to hear themselves talk which was confirmed. So I added something that gave insight into Nationals post that wasn’t there before…that’s adding value.
Brendan Hunt's acting is masterful here. You can feel the irritation combined with the love he feels for Ted just from him staring, unblinking at his best friend, then looking slightly down when he's just about reached his limit, before exploding after he's had enough of the bullshit. Also, "And that's okay!" is such a perfect line. Too often we want to be super nice or super professional, when both sides can be correct and you need to find the best way to approach different situations. You always need people to remind you that just because you aren't nice doesn't mean you're wrong.
This is why I have such distaste for the American political system. The loud dramatic people are the ones who get the votes, and they drown out sensibility. The political climate has killed the sensible person from being listened to left right and centre.
Having coached in college athletics I often said to athletes “Winning is not what is important, but rather the pursuit of winning.” Winning us merely a momentary outcome that has been preceded by long hours of preparation. It’s the mindset that lends itself to have the discipline to train and work for something is what is truly great about competitive pursuits. Don’t get me wrong winning feels great, but the best feeling in my opinion is being able to look back and know that you gave it your all regardless of the outcome.
Agreed, and it's fascinating, upon achieving something you've worked and suffered so hard for, how quickly you go from that achievement to "okay, now what?"
So very true. Like anything you do there will be good days and bad but if you can look on those bad days and say "I gave everything I had" there's still a bit of a victory there.
Yeah, except the Premier league isn't college sport. Relegation means your budget goes from around 100m as a bottom team to 50-70m as top of championship league. Your team will get gutted and those who stay will have to spend a year out of the main spot light which takes away millions of potential value off their career. And then there's the staff, people will lose their jobs, the local area loses match day earnings. Like, there's the healthy competitive mindset but when you're the manager you're responsible for everyone on the team. Beard was right, "they're not kids, they're professionals."
Yes in college, high school and lower, but when it comes to professional sports WINNING IS THE ONLY THING. That's how you measure success. Football in Europe has relegations, so if you ain't winning you'll end up in the ditch.
This really highlights why Ted Lasso and Coach Beard make such a good couple: Beard couldn’t hope to match Ted’s enthusiasm or his ability to connect with people and work on their issues, but Ted needs Beard to keep him grounded and remind him that it’s still the real world
I love Beard's tough love here. With college kids yeah winning and losing doesn't really matter all that much. But in the professional world it absolutely does. Losing here will impact the future prospects of the players at Richmond and and beyond and it will impact the club's standing. Players earn more to play on a premiere league team. Clubs bring in more if they're in the premiere league. Losing will have consequences beyond "oh well success isn't measured by wins and losses"
Even though I love beard I never got him as a character. Was he the straight man to Ted? The goofy quippy sidekick? The smart depressed friend? Or maybe he was all them, and the coach beard episode did not help at all
Why do we have to pigeonhole him? He's himself. He defies categorization. He's everything he wants to be until he sees a need, a deficit. Then he's everything he HAS to be.
@@nickdfoxy nothing wrong with not fitting into the cliche tv tropes it’s just that with everyone else I understood where they stood in the plot and their interactions with one another made sense. But with Beard he was all over the place and was a wild card (which isn’t a bad thing) it just confused me a little especially since he doesn’t have as much screen time.
He was the close friend of Ted and was in charge of the technical parts of the game while on the other hand Ted was focused on building interpersonal relationships, a good locker room, and team morale
He's a straightforward and honest right hand man that shows no signs of arrogance and all the signs of accountability. Exactly the type of people you want to be around. Let's just leave it at that.
@@halilheyman21 Better? It's a total mess that has no consistency and has no basis in reality...unlike Season 1. Season 2 is popular among non-football fans who are either female or have low levels of testosterone. The show literally dissolved into a chick-flick.
Every Ted needs a Coach Beard to keep them grounded. Ted's philosophy is incredible but there's people he's going to hurt by living it. Caring more about the player's characters than results means hurting the town. Being there for everyone hurts people like Nate who need more support and have abandonment issues. Coach Beard knows Ted means well but he also knows the damage he can do. It's great to want to be more like Ted but make sure you find a Coach Beard!
You were doing well until you defended Nate like that. Nate has a power dynamics issue reinforced by abuse, he only feels abandoned because of how he associates Ted's position with power. Nate is obsessed with making himself the victim, something Ted will never be able to help him fix that because Nate will throw Ted under the bus the second Nate gets a better validation high.
Coach Beard is 💯 right about this, this ain't junior varsity league, these are professionals at the highest standard of english football, WINNING DOES MATTER.
I mean that’s the whole point in having a point system and competing. If it wasn’t about winning, players won’t challenge themselves as hard. It’s the difference between practice and game
Also, with relegation on the line and many clubs being the only large employer in their cities, the change in budget that can come with relegation and the loss of TV revenues, etc., puts more people out of work and depresses the economy of the whole city, not to mention what clubs' success means to their fans personally. Relegation and promotion both have cascading effects on everyone involved. @@jtgd
I've only seen this show in clips but he kept saying 'we don't measure success by winning' which is a great philosophy for a college team but just isn't the case in the pros.
This sort of reminds me of Water 7 when Usopp fights Luffy & when Luffy wants to go get Usopp back and Zoro was there to help the Captain in his roll & hold him accountable.
Yass that's what I felt like. Coach beard is the Zoro to Ted's Luffy. Guys like that keep the free spirited leader grounded and remind them of their tough responsibilities, things that must be done despite hurting people's feelings
Coach Beard is someone you want in your corner. He maybe seen weird, cold, and distant but he’s watching everyone and everything. He’s also the first person to give you a reality check or call you out on your bullshit. Ted needed to hear this from someone he cares and trust. He can mute out all the other people that are negative (put in loosely) but he will listen to those closest to him.
The fact that until the moment that Ted walked in there Beard was studying that chess game; every single move to the point where he figured out she was just prolonging the game, probably waiting for him to come over and take her away is so hilariously intense
Beard is the last person you would expect to raise his voice. It left me shocked and impressed the first time I saw it. Even tho it's a comedy show it does have depth, it gets serious when it needs to.
Ted is sacrificing the entire teams success and the pride of the town just for the sake of Roy’s feelings and his philosophy of success isn’t about winning therefore it is actually very selfish
I love the double meaning of " she's just playing her game" in this scene
There's a lot going on here jeans

So much of his role is non-verbal.
But....when the writers decide to give him lines....they don't screw around.
That's true friendship. Holding each other accountable.
'Checkmate, mate.' Gold.
I loved the way she jumped up, spun around and was half-way out the door in one motion.
She was gonna take him home and do things with his body.

Something an old English lady would never say. Wish they’d use British idioms when appropriate.
This is proper Tough Love. It's keeping the people you care about accountable, and it comes from a place of love.
Thanks for finally uploading this
Got damn those eye bags
I can see your happy know.
I wonder if Ted's dad was laid off or lost his career somehow right before he killed himself.

"You're a beautiful man" love that guy
Edit his name is Paul
favourite side character
My favorite line of his:
"Beautiful family, though"
"Damnit! Don't humanize him!"
He’s the perfect side character. Nails the line every time

He's the British version of Ted.

Well Nate needs to man up and be accountable for his own actions, not blaming Ted for him not being there. He should just come to him.

God I love Coach Beard
I've only seen this show in clips but he kept saying 'we don't measure success by winning' which is a great philosophy for a college team but just isn't the case in the pros.
it’s a great show, i highly recommend it - there’s a ton of character nuance, especially in the second season
every clip ive seen of dean sanders coaching he follows that philosophy to a tee
it really emphasizes that although winning isn't the absolute most important thing, it is something you need to strive for.
Every Ted Lasso comment section is like cathartic therapy
People have an 'authentic' reaction.
I'll drink to that
Is it just me? I think Ted and Beard is like Phineas and Ferb but it's for adults
This is correct
For some reason, in this scene, Beard is giving me big Richard Schiff/Toby Ziegler energy.
This sort of reminds me of Water 7 when Usopp fights Luffy & when Luffy wants to go get Usopp back and Zoro was there to help the Captain in his roll & hold him accountable.

I never thought I'd see a One Piece comparison comment on a Ted Lasso video and I'm here for it.
Ted always calls the boys fellas .
Beard was brilliant here.
Coach beard reminds me of the lead singer of Cake.
That was lovely.
She’s right. That was sexy
Never understood the warm beer.
It's not warm, it's about 50 degrees F.
It isn't warm. It is actually a good temperature. Not too cold, not warm either. Good beer.
Zack Sabre Jr. taught me that “Ale is warm, Lager is cold” This was after some Japanese people gave him warm beer.

Ted needed to hear this from someone he cares and trust. He can mute out all the other people that are negative (put in loosely) but he will listen to those closest to him.
Coach was in Horrible Bosses in the sex addict support group lol
Taber because he looks like crhistopher lloyd, by the way.
And Ted loves when Beard does his Doc Brown impression.
"Checkmate, mate" is the most subtle yet effective American diss of the English ever. Great writing.
The fact that until the moment that Ted walked in there Beard was studying that chess game; every single move to the point where he figured out she was just prolonging the game, probably waiting for him to come over and take her away is so hilariously intense

The slightly rolled-up jacket as he swaggers out is the perfect touch
Omg the rizz on this guy Fockin hell
What episode is this
This is the first time I've heard the "will have v3" tense
Shhhhh
😢
Wouldnt that be unselfish move
Ted is sacrificing the entire teams success and the pride of the town just for the sake of Roy’s feelings and his philosophy of success isn’t about winning therefore it is actually very selfish
Coach Beard is a GM in rizz
The show ruins good moments of drama with things like Beard pointing at May. It’s always trying too hard.
It wasn’t intended to be like that anyways so they did fine.
