On this week's episode of Going Deutsch: the first round of the DFB Pokal sees Bundesliga side Bochum go out at the hands of Jahn Regensburg, fourth tier Kickers Offenbach defeat Magdeburg, and Dynamo Dresden go through against Fortuna Düsseldorf. Many Bundesliga sides get close to losing their spot in the competition: Hoffenheim, St. Pauli, and Mainz all require extra time, whilst Bayern, Dortmund, and Freiburg pummel their opponents in the managerial debuts of Kompany, Sahin, and Schuster. Also on the pod: a redacted stadium name, Alex's belief in nominative determinism, the St. Pauli connection, and literally the most baffling story you will ever hear in your life.
