No business leader wakes up thinking, gee, I hope I can make some huge trade-offs today.

And yet that's exactly what most security solutions ask of you. Trade speed for safety, user

experience for control, trade keeping things simple for keeping them secure. Not so with

Octa. Octa gives you a unified solution to protect identity.

No friction, no frustration, no compromises.

Security that's a launch pad instead of a limiter?

It's possible.

It's Octor. It's OCTA. Hello everybody and welcome to the Total Soccer Show.

I'm your host Taylor Rockwell.

Daryl Grove is not with me.

He is instead in Boston. You will be hearing from him about halfway through the show. We talk to ads. We do a little Bundesliga quiz, and we get an update on his health because he's up in Boston for some treatment. But I'll let him explain that. But since Daryl is not here, I'm instead talking to Matt Herman of the Talking Fusball podcast. My German is not as good as his. That should be obvious. Matt has so much knowledge about the Bundesliga. It's kind of absurd.

the newly promoted teams with a few other more general topics in there.

I think Tyler Adams is probably the only American we get to on this episode.

Then on part two, which will be out tomorrow.

It's a little bit more focused on some of the Americans in the Bundesliga as well as their

clubs and the expectations for them.

And then some of the kind of like the rest of the best in there, say, your Leverkusens, your Glodbach, your Wolfsburgs, all of those good squads. So part one today, part two, tomorrow. And with that, I will turn it over to me and Matt, mostly Matt. With me now, I've got a man who I assume is wearing his full flamingo costume.

It's Matt Herman of the Talking Fusball podcast. Matt, hello, how are you doing today?

I'm doing good. I'm just wearing a plain red shirt, though, so, you know.

No flamingo for you?

No, no. It's actually been a couple of weeks since I've been to a forward game, so I haven't been
