For Viola fans, it’s the most exciting time of the year: the end of the transfer market and the start of a new Serie A season. The only way to celebrate is to get all three of your favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots together for the first time in nearly two months to discuss everything, starting with what’s shaping up to be a furious end to the transfer window, with Nico González, Albert Guðmundsson, Amir Richardson, Pietro Terracciano’s contract extension and whatever happens to Sofyan Amrabat set to be the main talking points.

We also dive into the first game of the new campaign, trying to squeeze as much as we can out of the uneven 90 minutes and find out what Palladinismo actually looks like, from start to finish and back again. Along the way we get a bit of Mike-on-Mike identity theft, McMike and Warren G’s Midfield Regulator Index, and Producer Mike’s degenerate past that we can’t talk about.

As always, we’d like to thank the Sport Social Podcast Network for their hospitality. Windchime Weather provides our theme song and check out Nate’s new and very different band Friends Friends. As always, we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy making it. Forza Viola!
