Osku Valtosen vieraaksi saapuu tällä kertaa Jaakko Koski, joka on ollut keskeisessä roolissa TPS:n kannatustoiminnan alkuvaiheissa ja kehityksessä. Jaksossa sukelletaan syvälle TPS-kannattajakulttuurin syntyyn ja kasvuun. Jaakko kertoo, miten kaikki sai alkunsa, minkälaista oli luoda yhteishenkeä katsomoissa, ja mitkä hetket ovat jääneet hänelle erityisesti mieleen vuosien varrella. Lisäksi Jaakko pohtii, mitä TPS merkitsee hänelle henkilökohtaisesti, ja jakaa näkemyksiään siitä, miten kannattajatoiminta voisi kehittyä tulevaisuudessa. Yhteisöllisyys, periksiantamattomuus ja rakkaus seuraan ovat keskiössä, kun Jaakko avaa sydämensä mustavalkoisille väreille. Mikä tekee TPS:stä jotain, mitä mikään muu seura ei voi tarjota? Sen kuulemme tässä jaksossa.
