The Insatiable Content Podcast

You've been asking for it and now wishes just became reality -- it's the long-awaited Ted Lasso episode of the Insatiable Content Podcast! We are as wise as goldfish on this episode as I'm joined by the one and only Danielle Vondrak to discuss the only show that could make even the most cynical amongst us relentless optimists. Our exuberance got the best of us and we go longer than normal to discuss:

• The infamous Lasso Christmas episode
• The conflict that makes the optimism in Lasso worth it
• The show's beautiful depictions of friendships
• How this is a sport show that really isn't about sports
• Jason Sudeikis' career, including Sleeping with Other People and Horrible Bosses
• The infamous dart scene
• Allen Iverson and "Practice, We're Talking About Practice?"
• The many cultural Easter eggs in Lasso
• Why y'all hard seltzer drinkers actually hate alcohol
• All the things you should do and all the places you should eat in Santa Fe (Meow Wolf, Paloma, La Choza ...)
• The book In The Distance, by Hernan Diaz
• Kyrie Irving being Kyrie Irving
