This is a very special interview with Imagineer Lanny Smoot. Recently, it was announced that Lanny would be inducted into the National Inventor's Hall of Fame this year.

Hello fellow Lasso-holics and WELCOME BACK TO NEW EPISODES OF TED LASSO! This week we welcome special guest and host of Front Row Classics Brandon Davis to join in the fun! It's the showdown we've all been waiting for since the end of last season as Richmond is gearing up for a top-of-the-table matchup with Nate and West Ham United. The coaching staff is busy trying to outthink the Wonder Kid, while Nate's world at West Ham becomes increasingly more isolated from any kind of good influences. The team is feeling the pressure and uncertainty as they make a shocking discovery in their locker room. Keeley is on edge as Jack, the VC financier behind her company is attending the big match and she wants to make a good impression. But perhaps no one is feeling the pressure more than Rebecca as she desperately wants to get one up on Rupert. And in the midst of all of this, Ted must deal with his own inner mess as he tries to navigate the deep emotions felt from that fateful phone call in the last episode. How will all of these events converge on the pitch and who will come out on top? We're here to break it all down! It's the best part of your week, it's Lasso time! Come along with us as we break down Season 3 Episode 4 "Big Week".
