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 friend. It was meant to be a short episode as we've got some more matches this week but can you blame the fellas for going over the top after such a big win?!

It's our final episode of 2025 and who better to join Matt, Ted, and Travis as they dish out some holiday dinner awards than ESPN's very own Derek Rae! After chatting about their fav holiday TV episodes, the quartet then hand out some major awards - The Roast Turkey Award ... the Glazed Ham Award ... the Fruit Cake Award ... and of course ... THE MAULTASCHEN AWARD! The fellas then wrap up episode 178 by putting some white and red gifts under the VfB tree before Derek "The Oracle" Rae makes his annual - and bold! - VfB prediction for the Rückrunde!

Happy holidays all!

It's episode 177 and Matt, Ted, and Travis attempt to break down an intense but somewhat forgettable match versus TSG, a club that we just can't seem to beat, even at home. After chatting the match, the guys jump into the potential awards they and the VfB Americana OFC will be handing out for the 2025/2026 season. Who will win the Roast Turkey Award? Glazed Ham? The dreaded Fruitcake Award?! Find out as the fellas unintentionally insult pretty much everyone ... but what would a family dinner be like without family members offending one another?!

Happy holidays all!
