Episode 108 - VfB:RBL ... 5:2 and Maultaschen for Everyone!

VfB Stuttgart Americana

It's a celebratory episode as Rob joins Travis to chat the big, big win over RBL!

Part One’s Shout Outs throw some praise to Legos, vice-champion Chris, and the pronunciation king that is Derek Rae for being the first commentator to nail VfBingo!

Part Two is a lengthy look at an historic match - the first time VfB has ever beaten RB Leipzig … and boy howdy, what a win it was! The guys break the match down with their usual alliteration, covering items such as focus, flexibility, finishing, and, finally, the feeding of the fellas off of the Stuttgart home cooking! From Rouault’s defense to Enzo playing as a #6 to Jamie up front and finally to the loud and proud home crowd, there was a lot to celebrate, and the guys do their best to do just that.

Part Three’s News, Headlines, and Questions cover the international play of the guys in Africa and Asia as well as the impact of that sweet, sweet, Porsche money as well as fun phrases like “Turbo for Talent,” Global Brand Alliance, the Federal Cartel Office, and whatever the heck “future proof” means! The segment wraps up with Questions in which listeners ask how euphoric this win may have been as well as the importance of this particular victory.

Part Four concludes with a look at the next match, a trip on the road to another top table competitor, Baden rival SC Freiberg.

All that and Rob tells us why he’s so so happy - combination of VfB’s success and tasty, tasty maultaschen! - while Derek's audio ends episode 108 with some commentary we can all agree upon!
