It was an odd week for our VfB as we reached the finals of the Pokal for the second year in a row thanks to some late dramatics but dropped - or gained? - points against a relegation threatened Bremen.

Oh, and...

I...

It's episode 183 and Matt, Ted, and Travis are so psyched about the SuperBowl that they ... record through it.

Along the way Travis' computer tries to crash, they keep checking out the score of the American football match,...

Along the way we tie in as many Nic Cage films as we can ... and as he's go...

It's episode 181 so we try something new with our audio intro and only mess it up for the first two minutes of the episode!

It's our first episode of the New Year and what a way to start 2026 on the pitch than a win away at Leverkusen, a club VfB hadn't enjoyed a win against in 15 matches (which gives Travis a chance to break out one of his favorite quotes of all-time from the great Vitus Gerulaitis!). The guys chat the match, the players, and the tactics before saying hello to one newbie and goodbye to an old...

THE MAULTASCHEN AWARD! The fellas then wrap up...
