It's episode 182 and Ted and Travis chat two big wins - a UEL win over Young Boys and a Buli win over Freiburg, both stressful in their own ways! We start off celebrating Nic Cage - as you'd expect! - and former #19's and then dive into the great start versus Young Boys and the great finish versus Freiburg. Along the way we tie in as many Nic Cage films as we can ... and as he's got over 117 to his name, we've plenty to choose from! So join us and "Get in the Cage" as we break down the Europa League and the derby-not-derby that is Freiburg!

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! But don't worry, we end up chatting about what is most important - THE RED KITS AND THE NON MATCHING RED SHORTS - so you know you've come to the right place to chat all things VfB (as long as it's about color schemes). We also chat the rough match in Italy, the get-right match in Gladbach, and the matches coming up - a seemingly easy one at home versus old friends Young Boys and a seemingly tough one versus local neighbors Freiburg. All that and Deniz as mayor?!

It's a short week so it's a short episode as Matt, Ted, and Travis quickly break down the matches against Frankfurt and Union and then preview the upcoming matches versus Roma and Gladbach!

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!

It's episode 176 and we're ... all over the place. Michigan. OSU. Winter lagers. PodCats. Children who don't appreciate VfB. Advent calendars. And somehow ... after a while ... VfB. We chat VfBMTA and the weird UEL match that was and how the entire club - from top to bottom - performed admirably. Then we talk SVWVfB and the big Buli match that was ... and how SVW's hair was pretty much all we paid attention to. We chat eight different goal scorers, Deniz, El K, Jamie, Ata, Jeff, Demi, Alex, and, of course ... PodCat.

Apologies for the intro and exit ... we ran out of free stuff on this platform!

Matt and Travis attempt to chat all the matches of the past two weeks, from "The Good" - the UEL win at Go Ahead Eagles and the Pokal win at Bochum - to "The Bad" - the late loss at HSV - to "The Ugly" - the big home loss versus Bayern.

Apologies for our editing - we weren't able to upload the intro or exit this time. But we're back all the same!

It's episode 174 and the fellas are back from the international break to talk a draw ... that felt like a win! Matt, Ted, and Travis start off by chatting about the Frauen's big win and VfB II's draw and then dive into the return match in the Bundesliga, playing versus a team the boys in white and red haven't lost to in five straight! Along the way they talk Finn, Chris, and of course, the man of the match, one Deniz "Hat Trick" Undav! The guys wrap up the episode pondering the status of Silas and what lies in the future as the fellas from Stuttgart look to pack their suitcases for away trips to both Go Ahead Eagles and HSV. And of course they chat Steven Seagal!

It's another home match and that means it's another home win as VfB took on both a UEL and Bundesliga opponent during another busy week before the international break! And to help break it all down is long-time friend of the show David, who joins to chit chat all things VfB! He and Travis quickly look at the UEL win over Feyenoord (check out our collaboration with The Bundesliga Show for a more in-depth reaction here!) before diving deep into the match against (former) bogey team Augsburg. They chat VAR, a gritty win, and the comeback of several players before explaining why Julian Nagelsmann is, in their unbiased* opinion, a dumb dumb. And they talk holiday gifts!
