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:

• How Lasso's positivity avoids becoming saccharine
• 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

We're bloody back with a quick take episode on the new James Bond movie, No Time To Die. Jadi Mwendo joins host Vincent Rossmeier (two men often mistaken for Bond in real-life) to discuss this long-delayed, but ultimately very entertaining finale to Daniel Craig's five-film reign as the world's most famous spy. The discussion covers how Craig made Bond self-aware, how the next 007 can and should be a woman of color, and why it's alright to not remember anything about the plots of the previous Craig bond movies. So grab yourself a martini (preferably not made with Stoli) and dive in.

On this week's Insatiable Content podcast, you're in for a real treat. The one and only Bob Payne stops by to join me, Vincent Rossmeier, to discuss the new Sopranos prequel movie, The Many Saints of Newark. It was a lively discussion, as Bob tried to convince me that my take of the movie being an utter mess was wrong -- it's debatable if he succeeded. On the show, we cover:

• Wokeness and racism in The Sopranos
• Rewatching The Sopranos
• Fan service in The Many Saints of Newark and El Camino (The Breaking Bad movie)
• Better Call Saul being underrated
• Bob's mom's star turn in the movie
• Blaming progressive Democrats for everything
• The joys of New Orleans food and music, with shoutouts to Jewel of the South, Josephine Estelle, N7, and Ancora, as well as shows at Tipitina's
• Lord Huron -- possible greatest Western band of all time?
• Michael Lewis' The Premonition

And be on the lookout for a special pod this week -- I promise, it'll be shaken not stirred.

On the 5th episode of "The Insatiable Content" Podcast, the always amazing Ron Gubitz joins me to analyze FX's "Dave", an inventive comedy about the aspiring hip hop artist Lil' Dicky. Based loosely on the real life of Dave Burd, the show is a hilarious take on fame, celebrity, and hip hop in general. On this episode we cover:

• The history of white rappers
• Popular depictions of bromances and male friendships
• The endless cameos on the show (including Doja Cat, Justin Bieber, Young Thug, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar)
• The Ben Simmons situation in Philadelphia

She joins me to discuss Taylor Swift's new re-recording of her song "Wildest Dreams" and all things Taylor. This is decidedly the best episode of the podcast yet and Norrie Kay is clearly coming for my job. In this episode we cover:
