IT'S A POST MATCH VICTORY POD AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT!

In an episode that becomes increasingly erratic as it goes on, Matt and Travis struggle to cope with ... winning!

Part One winds a long, long path before actually breaking down the first Bundesliga win of 2023, first discussing Bruno's fantastic lineup moves of Bredlow and Anton (ahem), Matt and/or Hannes nailing the impact of Silas up front, the return of a certain birthday boy, and luck finally being on the side of the boys in the brustring. Take THAT cross bar!

Part Two's News, Headlines, and Questions doesn't get much more organized, although the fellas go back in time to give Bruno some kudos for some of his much maligned moves before finally returning to form and mocking him for no real reason at all. Sorry, Bruno. It's what they do! What they also do is answer some listener questions, including thoughts on Waldy, Silas, the Pokal run, Bruno, 'Rino in Hoffenheim, and the number one selling antacid in Norway. ALL OF NORWAY!

Part Three is all about the future as the guys are uncharacteristically bullish about the enormous match coming up on the road versus Schalke ... despite the club's poor run of form against the team in blue over the last 10. Sigh.

BUT THIS IS NO TIME TO DWELL ON SADNESS!!!
