Jess, the turtle story made me mist up, but that probably doesn't surprise anyone here.

My household is re-watching Ted Lasso, and it's my first time through. I suddenly understand what you folks were saying about Ted (and Beard) going against the grain of toxic masculinity and machismo -- it's been a long time since I've seen a while male straight cis character on a TV show who I might actually want to invite into my home. They remind me of our own Hecubot in some very good ways.
