Ooh, so now that episode 3x08 of Ted Lasso has aired, I can finally post my video of Dr Jake being denied from the side 😁

(I promise I took this when the cameras weren’t rolling, don’t kill me, Chip)

A video like this could motivate a team, perhaps.

A month ago I went to Amsterdam and visited all the filming locations for Ted Lasso‘s „Sunflowers“, so I figured I‘ll finally put something together here.

First of all, basically all the scenes involving the majority of the Richmond himbos were not shot on location - their epic discussion followed by pillow fight was filmed in an abandoned hotel in London. (Info per David Elsendoorn). The same would go for Ted & Beard‘s room. Scenes on the bus or outside it were also filmed in Richmond.

The only Greyhound who doesn‘t have his own larger plotline in the episode who was actually in Amsterdam was David Elsendoorn, because they did film the first scenes at Johan Cruijff (you know how to pronounce it now!) ArenA, the home of Ajax Amsterdam (which is also the one place I didn‘t have time to visit). They could have easily filmed that in London in a different stadium but I guess they didn‘t want to pass up the opportunity - and give David something to do on his home turf.

Edit: I visited 3 months later, so here‘s some pics from the ArenA, I couldn‘t find out which hallway they used/dressed up for the press interviews, but here‘s some shots from the stadium and the VIP lounge we see at the beginning.

So, first up is Roy & Jamie‘s adventure: Jamie takes him sightseeing against his will, and the first place they stop on is Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge). (They run up the street to that before.)

Edit thanks to @warriorhoneybee: Roy grabs Jamie’s wrist at Diamond Factory on Rokin and then tells him he can‘t ride a bike outside Lyppens Jeweler at Langebruugsteg.

They go around the corner to Oude Turfmarkt (which is what I took a picture of) for Jamie to teach him how. For Grandad!!!

The fucking windmill they see before they lovingly gaze into each other’s eyes is De Riekermolen at the Southern end of Amstelpark, where they also cycle. (It‘s actually realistic for them to do that, it would be about half an hour between those locations by bike).

Rebecca doesn‘t see the obvious bike lane (that doesn‘t actually exist there) and falls into the gracht at Raamgracht. Boaty McBoatface‘s houseboat is still there, they just had it dressed up a bit with plants and such when they filmed. (Unclear if anyone currently lives there). The interiors were shot in a studio.

Trent follows Colin to Prik night club (which was absolutely buzzing when I was there, I really want to go back).

And then they sit at the Homomonument, the Pink Triangle memorial at Westerkerk, having that tearjerker of a conversation, before returning to party. (It walked that distance at night, it‘s a beautiful stroll and less than 10 minutes). When I visited someone had left sunflowers. 🌻

Leslie & Will first go to Hotel Prins Hendrik in the Red Light district (and steps away from Amsterdam main station) where Chet Baker died. They then make their way to Jazz Café Alto, which is just down the road from where Boom Chicago used to be on Leidseplein. (It‘s about 30 mins on foot between those two locations so they could have walked or just taken the tram for a few stops. The interiors were done at a studio though).

Ted of course visits the studio-filmed fictional themed restaurant where he has a BBQ sauce induced, Corey Burton-narrated epiphany about triangles, but first he sees Vincent‘s „Sunflowers“ at Van Gogh Museum during Museumnacht (which btw would mean the episode is set first weekend of November). As you can tell they moved some things around, so at least currently the painting isn‘t hung on that beautiful blue wall anymore.

As a bonus, here is a picture of where Boom Chicago used to be when Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly performed there - Brendan also used to live above the McDonald‘s on Leidseplein just steps away for a while. And the other picture is the current Boom Chicago on Rozengracht, definitely go enjoy a show there if you can.

Anyway thus concludeth my trip around Ted Lasso‘s Amsterdam. I visited for the Boom Chicago Comedy Festival and fell in love with the city, it was … magical / gezellig. I will never forget it, but then again, some people get Alzheimer’s.

Save us in Gaza City Yes

Is this what you call the southern sector? This is the safe zone that the occupier is talking about. The area that displaced us from our homes so that we would not lose our women and children And now we are being displaced from it And bombed it And committing massacres God is with us in Gaza City

Save my family and help them through the link below

Stand with your family in Gaza and help and do not be angry 🙏🏼🚨

Thinking about Roy teaching Phoebe how to ride a bike now that he knows how as another way to honor his grandfathers memory. I feel like his sister barely even remembers their grandfather (I’m assuming Roy is the older sibling based on looks). And so it’s all on Roy to tell Phoebe about him and pass down his memory. And it’s hard for him to fully talk about his grandfather for too long so he teaches her like Jamie taught him

Jason Sudeikis talking about the 2x08 locker room scene/royjamie hug on the latest episode of Brett's podcast.

Transcript:

"It's one of those times that, one of those things we talked about in the writer's room here and there. It's like, yeah, a scene can take its time when it has a good, you know I would say punchline. Like even if it's not for a laugh, it's like, oh but if you know what it is, like we can take...we can have James Tartt keep needling his son and make that slow walk across the room, because we know that Roy's going to make that quick walk across after he gets escorted out. And then, we didn't even have the George Harrison song at that point but you knew it was one of those things where you just, I know it'll present itself when it's supposed to be...just, we didn't need it there. It already had music to it. Already had you know, lifts and drops and falls and it felt orchestrated in a way that was just... I mean we pretty much worked backwards from that hug, if I remember correctly. Or to a degree. I just remember seeing the hug very clearly, and just being like 'okay.'"
