The tragic time is almost upon us. The series finale of Ted Lasso will be released on Wednesday, May 31st, and no one is emotionally ready for this. So in honor of the end of one the greatest shows of all time, I decided to get the gang back together from the first Ted Lasso episode for us to cover Season 3 up until the final episode. If you haven't watched any of Season 3 yet...this episode contains MAJOR SPOILERS. So don't listen. We also make our predictions for what is going to happen with all of the storylines that have been unanswered thus far. So listen, and get ready for finale, after which, I predict, we will all have to be a goldfish. The Bardcast: It's Shakespeare You Dick Setting Inn Support the Show.
