Ted Lasso S2E7: Sometimes It's Good to Bottle Things Up

Welcome back to the Dogtrack, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation about Season 2, Episode 7: Headspace.

We talk about the stress of Ted's professional therapeutic relationship with Dr. Sharon, the miscommunication between Keeley and Roy as they navigate their romantic relationship, and the unhealthy relationship Nate has with his father, his players, and social media.

But it's not all bad! We also appreciate the wisdom of Higgins (and his pipe!), stake our claim on the origins of couples' jazz scatting, marvel at Beard's mastery of disapparition, and applaud Roy's skills in the department of playlist curation. Plus, Christian helps us understand both the significance of that Sex and the City scene and the cultural event of being "dunked on."
