In another special offseason episode, we get to know Forward Madison Sporting Director Matt Cairns and learn about how he's approaching the 2026 roster. We discuss:

- The kind of player he's looking for

- Whether Derek Gebhard will be the only returning player

- Whether the CBA standoff is affecting recruitment and signing

- How he's pitching Madison to prospective players

- Aaron Molloy, because why not

Then, Rob and Ethan talk through the four new roster additions announced since the last time we dropped a pod.
