206 - SCPVfB ... 0:2 and a bad win?
Ted and Travis chat the recent away win over newcomers SCP, a win that left a lot of the VfB faithful happy yet ... concerned. We chat the offense not yet clicking, the debut of a new keeper, the return of an old captain, and the man of the match himself, the former Paderborn man himself, Chris.…

205 - Fact or Fiction?
Peter joins Travis to talk some fact or fiction regarding the start of the VfB season so far! Should VfB start Fabian? Stay with a back four? Get a new Right Back? Start Ata?! Listen in and find out!

204 - VfBBVB ... 0:1 and what's more likely?
Matt, Ted, and Travis pop on to chat about both the match that was - a disappointing home loss to BVB - and the month that was - a disappointing three points out of a possible 12. Along the way, they ask "what's more likely" regarding a number of topics, ranging from points in the league to…
more -
203 - VfBVFK & TSGVfB ...
It's an odd week, so why not an odd episode as our technology at first doesn't work, then does work, then decides to end Travis probably just in time. David joins us to chat the week that was, a great opening win versus Viking FK to start VfB's UCL run followed by a disappointing loss on the road...
-
202 - VfBKOE ... 4:1 and redemption time!
Travis goes solo on this one as travel and technical issues keep Jake and David off the pod. As a result, Travis speed-runs through the week that was, from the Frauen "winning" a point in their third match of the season to the fellas getting their first win of the season at home in an impressive...
-
201 - FCBVfB ... and Prince Humperdinck
We're back to chat the opening match of the season, a loss that was either better than it could have been or worse than it could have been ... depending on how you look at it. So how do we look at it? We look at the historic Frauen win, the sweet kit, and the good and bad of the opening match of...
-
200 - Season Preview & FCBVfB
We're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Matt, Ted, and Travis take a sorta brief look at the season to come, including departures (see ya, Football God), arrivals (how do you pronounce Pejcinovic?), and expectations (another top four finish?!). It's a 30' opening episode that somehow, as usual, goes into...
-
The VfB Frauen - An Unprepared History
With the VfB Frauen's historic first season heading into the Bundesliga, we thought it was the perfect time for an unofficial, uninformed, and unprepared look at how they started, how it's gone, and how they earned a spot in the top league in all of Germany football!
-
198 - VfB from A to Z!
It's the final episode of 2025/2026 and Ted and Travis break down the entire season - with the help of Matt - from A to Z, covering the entire alphabet ... or at least as many of the letters as they know! Which is at least ... 1893 of them!
-
196 - SGEVfB ... 2:2 and champions!
The guys spend way too much time talking about a 2:2 draw but hey, it was a draw that ended up with the fellas in the brustring earning UCL qualification for the second time in three years! Along the way Matt, Ted, and Travis all chat the match that was - an away match to clinch big time UCL…
more -
195 - VfBB04 ... 3:1 and Demi'tastic!
The fellas break down the big happenings of the penultimate matchday of the season as the guys get a big win at home versus Bayer while the Frauen get a big win at home to seal the B.2 deal and earn promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time in club history! Along the way, Matt, Ted, and…
more -
194 - TSGVfB ... 3:3 and we won with a draw!
Matt, Ted, and Travis chat the draw that felt like a win, the 3:3 match on the road in our home away from home, Hoffenheim. The guys shout out the Frauen for all but sealing (fingers crossed!) promotion and then dive into a strange, strange match and ponder was it bad luck or good luck or ... no...
-
193 - VfBSCF and VfBSVW ... and win some, lose some?
It was an odd week for our VfB as we reached the finals of the Pokal for the second year in a row thanks to some late dramatics but dropped - or gained? - points against a relegation threatened Bremen. So what to think? Well, Matt and Travis attempt to break the match down via some major talking...
-
191 - VfBHSV ... and a boring 4:0 win?!
Ted and Travis struggle to talk about a match that was complete domination ... and jeez, how can you be bummed about a four goal win?! Well, listen in and find out!
-
190 - VfBBVB ... and Winners and Losers!
It's episode 190 and Matt, Ted, and Travis attempt to break down the international week in which several VfBers saw the field - in Stuttgart, no less - alongside the Bundesliga match versus second place BVB. To do so, the fellas give their "winners" and "losers" of the last two weeks, which, of...
-
189 - FCPVfB and FCAVfB ... and bouncing back!
Ted and Travis chat up the week that was, a rough end to VfB's UEL campaign at Porto and a fantastic bounce-back win over the Flaming Pineapples of Augsburg.

188 - VfBFCP and VfBRBL ... and win or go home!
It's a big week of ups and downs for the fellas (and Ffrauen!) in the brustring, so Matt, Ted, and Travis try to cover all the big news, from the frustrating loss at home to Porto in the UEL to the fantastic result at home versus RBL. Along the way the guys chat the big Frauen match versus Mainz,...
-
187 - M05VfB ... and deservedly ... unlucky?
It's another odd match versus Mainz and why not bring back self-professed Mainz expert Rob! Rob, who has actually visited the place, flew back home just for this episode while Ted wanted to express his thanks to whoever came up with daylight savings time. Along the way they also find time to chat...
-
186 - VfBCEL & VfBWOB
The crew of Matt, Ted, and Travis are back together and chatting a wild couple weeks, focusing on the loss at home versus Celtic - which was basically a win - and the big win versus Wolfsburg - which cemented both clubs' status at various ends of the table. To dive into this one, the guys steal...
-
185 - Heidenheim > Celtic?!
It's episode 185 and with Matt on international duty and Ted on daddy duty it's up to Travis to attempt to break down a wild week in which VfB destroyed one of the most iconic clubs in the world but then almost lost to one of the worst clubs in the Bundesliga. But ... if you're a VfB fan, you…
more -
184 - VfBKOE ... 3:1 and talking to a lover of the Goat!
Jake from 50+ Döner, an "unbiased" KOE supporter, joins us for the third time to talk the most recent match, a tough 3:1 win for the fellas in the Brustring. While avoiding talking about the match as much as possible, the guys do talk the VfBFrauen, the 108 matches between these two, coaching,...
-
183 - KSVVfB and FCSPVfB ... and the SuperBowl!
It's episode 183 and Matt, Ted, and Travis are so psyched about the SuperBowl that they ... record through it. Anyway, they chat two gritty matches, two tough results, one big win, and one disappointing - but perhaps expected? - loss, both in the cold, cold confines of the north. Along the way...
-
182 - Spätzle Derbysieger and Get in the Cage!
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…
more -
181 - Roma & BMGVfB
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…

180 - VfBSGE & VfBFCU ... and 7 points in 3 matches!
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!
-
179 - B04VfB ... 1:4 and Vitus Gerulaitis!
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…
more -
178 - Holiday Hinrunde Review!
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!

-
177 - VfBTSG & Xmas Dinner Awards!
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.

-
176 - VfBMTA & SVWVfB ... 8 Goals and ... 8 goals?!
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.

-
175 - VfBFCB ... and too heavy?
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...

174 - BVBVfB ... 3:3 and Deniz the Bogey Man!
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…
more -
173 - VfBFCA ... 3:2 and THEY'RE back!
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...
-
172 - VfBM05 ... and even more M05 ... and UEL ... and RBL!
After a week off, we're back! And we've got a lot to talk about, from Europa League matches to Pokal matches, to Bundesliga matches to Mainz ... and then Mainz again! We talk rotation, rotation, rotation, and try to highlight the highs - and lows - of the last four matches!
-
171 - WOBVfB ... and the team is the man of the match!
As Maxi said post-match, the whole team deserved the MOTM award, so we decided to bring our whole team back together post-international break to talk the most recent VfB win, this one on the road and former bogey team WOB! We talk the guys that showed up big - Tiago, Maxi, and Angelo - and if...
-
170 - VfBFCH ... 1:0 and whining about 4th place!
Ted and Travis chat up the last two matches for the boys in the brustring, the loss at Basel in the UEL and the win at home in the Buli. They cover the disappointing second match of the Europa League but spend more time - because positivity is key! - on the win over bogey team Heidenheim, a...

169 - VfBCelta, KOEVfB ... and what an englische woche!
It's a short week so it's a short episode as Matt and Travis briefly chat VfB Celta and KOE VfB ... two big wins in one big week! The guys also take a look at the upcoming match versus the spicey team Basel (get it?!) and hope to take down Fortress Heidenheim as well! All the while mocking one...

167 - SCFVfB ... 3:1 and whhhhhhhhhhat?
It's Matt, Ted, and Travis for an hour long "whhhhhhhat" just happened episode as we try to break down what is going on with our VfB after three Bundesliga matches. We chat SCFVfB, Ted's cat, Matt's refusal to sit down, and Travis' kolsch. And that's ... pretty much it. But we do it for an hour!
-
166 - Two Wins & VfB & the Brustring!
Matt, Ted, and Travis return to chat two wins in a short week ... a week that witnessed the 100th birthday of VfB's beloved brustring! In a random and somewhat scattered episode, we chat Nick, the Pokal, the brustring, Derek, VfBBMG, tifo, new signings, and new schedule reveals! It's a…
more -
165 - FCUVfB ... 2:1 and feeling sluggish!
It's the opening match of the Bundesliga season which means it's the opening episode for us, and we bench Matt and Ted for disciplinary reasons and bring in super-sub Hannes to help us break down what was a rather lackluster start to the 2025/2026 season. Along the way the guys shout out the…

more -
158 - STPVfB ... 0:1 and back on track?
After a weekend off, Matt, Ted, and Travis return to talk about a rare VfB win and ask a basic question - was this performance good enough to give confidence heading to the Pokal final? Of course, because it's these guys, it takes them 44 minutes to attempt to answer said question, but along the...
-
157 - FCUVfB ... 4:4 and WTF was THAT?!
Matt, Ted, and Travis attempt to analyze a match that simply makes no sense ... eight goals in the first half, none in the second, and another disappointing result - at least this time on the road - for the fellas from Stuttgart. Along the way the guys try to answer WTF happened for each and…
more -
156 - VfBSVW ... and Sloppy, Schlager, & Savior!
It's a rough one as Travis takes on for the team and goes solo. He chats VfBSVW, slow starts, Schlager, and sloppy play. ALL BY HIMSELF! But also with Kai. It's a "we had to to do this episode to keep our episode streak going" episode, so ... enjoy?
