In this episode, the guys celebrate all-time win 1893 and ponder all-time loss ... 666. YIKES!

In Part One, Travis' throws some shout outs to some OFC members as Matt considers his favorite cliches, while both celebrate OFC Man of the Match winners - Enzo and Hiroki!

In Part Two the guys chat up not one but TWO big wins, the Pokal match at Nuremberg and the Bundesliga match at Bochum! The fellas talk optimism, Hoeneß and his background, players into comfortable positions, ugly matches at both FCN and BOC that ended with gorgeous results, old friend Philipp Förster and his shocking lack of facial hair, and reviews on a number of players including Luca, Sehrou, Enzo, Hiroki, Borna, Josha, and Silas.

Part Three is News, Headlines, and Questions with the Pokal draw, the club's potential emergency member's meeting, and Wehrle's claim of a hardcore post-season analysis. The segment ends with some Q and A, with answers touching on the coaching bump, who is responsible for Bruno 2.0, a return of hope, how important is Ito, and what's up with Silas.

Part Four's all about predicting the upcoming home match versus BVB in which Travis wagers with his heart while Matt goes with his brain. And as it turns out, Matt's brain is way, way better than Travis'!
