Had a great time with Coach Beard, a big Chicago Bears fan, actually. Got to meet Jamie Tarp and Roy Kent as well. They were very nice, but it was fun. It’s fun to be around them. It looks like they got a really close-knit group. We’ll see how many more seasons they do but I know they enjoy being over there.”
“I think the English audience is embracing. I was asking Jason [Sudeikis] about that. You know obviously in America, Ted Lasso is humongous but as a big and in England and Europe and he said he said it feels like its more embraced and coach beard was saying his level of fame has risen,” He added.
