Where Were We?

·1 hr 1 min·5 clips
Bitches trivia is back, and BJ is delivering quality questions after a long hiatus.
The episode opens with hosts Gally and others welcoming listeners back and noting Bickler's absence due to work trips. They reintroduce the popular trivia segment, with BJ providing questions, starting with one about Liverpool's fewest Premier League goals conceded by match week 11. The answer is five goals in the 2018-19 season, surprising the hosts who expected more. Discussion shifts to Liverpool's current style under Slot, with hosts debating whether the controlled, less chaotic play is more impressive given the Premier League's competitiveness. They compare Slot's takeover to a hostile retail takeover, where he must improve a team already seen as successful. Transfer rumors are explored, including potential moves for Zuba Mendy, Lloyd Kelly, and young players like Pepi, with hosts skeptical of major January activity. Contract situations for Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are analyzed, with concerns about wage demands and fit. The hosts preview upcoming fixtures, emphasizing the importance of beating Southampton and Manchester City, and debate when to get optimistic about the title race. One host promises to appear naked on the podcast if Liverpool wins 12 points from the next four games. They conclude with lineup predictions for the Southampton match, prioritizing the league over the Champions League game against Real Madrid.
