Sad Bois FC

With a special guest, the Bois discuss the state of Korean soccer, what's going on with Lewandowski and the Chicago Fire, and Jiggly's (somewhat graphic) visit to the doctor.

Despite the postponement of the Fire's return to play, the Bois had an episode with our Uncle Nick. We talk about movies, the USMNT youth soccer setup, and all sorts of other things that have been ruined by private equity.

In a very quick (for our standards) and very unplanned recording, Adnan and Jiggly discuss the past couple weeks in the World Cup and the Fire's newest and biggest signing, all while playing the brand new College Football game.

Despite barely being into the tournament, the Bois come together to talk about the early days of the World Cup, Adnan's travels, and Jiggly's battle with a pole. Also, Lewandowski's coming to the Chicago Fire.

After a first half filled with baseball and surprisingly high amount of theology, the Bois get into the World Cup. And while we're probably wrong, there's a chance that we have one of the wildest tournaments since 2002.

A normal episode. Adnan talks about how much he loves basketball. Jiggly talks about trans rights. And at the end of the day, we all hate the way FIFA works.

With a guest that's been a long time coming, the Bois are met with similar energy from John of MIR97. There's some basketball talk, football talk, and of course, lore. I mean, Chicago Fire talk.

With the international break taking us down to only one Fire game to catch you up on, Adnan gets to spend as much time as he likes to be excited about Bosnia's return to the World Cup (and genuine chances of leaving the group).

Finally past Ramadan, Adnan is available to join Jiggly in discussing the Chicago Fire's opening matches, college basketball, and symptoms of hypertension.

The Bois get around to a full Chicago Fire season preview, just after a long, confused explanations of the NYC property tax fiasco and the gender spectrum.

The Bois are back from Bowl Season and immediately remind everyone that this is, in fact, a soccer podcast. One where most of the discussion is about "the preview of the Super Bowl".

For one last episode before Bowl Season in 2025, the Bois have on Alex to talk about all the hijinks and adventures of being a journalist covering the Chicago Fire. Also, Philip Rivers. He wasn't on the show, but you should know this is all about him.

This is a Sad Bois episode titled "Rotisserie Chicken". A K-League update, MLS playoff formatting, and lots of college football is inside.

We're a bit late to the playoff party. So what? You only get this kind of distracted analysis from us!Also, Adnan needs to find Logan Pause again.

In a very special episode, the WHOLE crew is back to reminisce on just how special it is for the Chicago Fire to finally make it back to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.

Nick is here to help the Bois navigate through the complicated (but fairly simple) issues surrounding MLS support this season. But also, some wrestling talk, some learning about Korean phonics, and a quick NFL season preview.

The Bois get back together to talk about the month of Chicago Fire soccer that they've missed. But not before discussing a lot of NFL hot takes and anime horse girls.

Tim's a bit late, but he's HERE to help the Sad Bois discuss all the important things. Things like the Fire's new stadium, the Chicago (Red) Stars' organizational struggles, and whether or not Jiggly would die if he attempted a backflip.

We talk a bit about the Chicago Fire's amazing run recently and what they need to keep it going. But mostly we discuss Jiggly's trip to Hongdae, the new College Football game, and how referees may not deserve rights.

CHICAGO POPE CHICAGO POPE CHICAGO POPEJiggly teaches us all about the implications of Pope Leo XIV (or, "Pope Bob"), Adnan's life has absolutely no meaning to it, and the Fire still can't find a win at home.

In an episode more about football and hockey than it is about the Chicago Fire, the Bois discuss various misadventures in their travels. Adnan makes it into the press box at Bremen and Jiggly laced up some ice skates for the first time. And that was all after Sergio Oregel absolutely shut down Messi in the Fire's 0-0 draw a couple weeks back.

This is the first episode in which both Jiggly and Adnan are in a bathroom at the same time. Not the same bathroom.Also, the Fire are good now, it's weird.

In quite possibly the shortest episode ever, the Bois hop onto a call directly after a Fire game while each are in the middle of their own "tutorial" arcs. Just some quick talk about the open of the Fire's season, the Bears' third consecutive "Best Offseason" award, and some news about the K2 League.

Jiggly's in Korea now. The Fire season is about to start. Joe Chatz is here. Could this be the end of Sad Bois FC?

This episode starts fairly normal with Jiggly talking about film and art for way too long. Then there's some soccer stuff, sure.Then the last half hour of the episode is the audio of Jiggly demolishing Adnan in 2k.

The Bois are finally in the same room together to do an episode! And we brought along Tim! Audio quality is terrible, but the vibes are palpable. There is literally no news to report.

The Chiefs are in the Super Bowl again. Nothing ever happens. Also, the Fire signed a few dudes and Bremen is still in 9th.

Sad Bois is back again! Now it's everyone's problem.

The Chicago Fire will be liquidated on New Year's Eve and we will be free from the curse.

Jiggly's still trying to process the second season of Arcane, Adnan's found his love of College Football again, and nobody wants to watch this season's MLS Cup.

Yo, but imagine if he actually were tho. We talk way too long about that.

This week has been rough and there's not much soccer to even talk about. Yet this episode is still 90 minutes long.

"I love looking at the woodland animals"

Joe Chatz is here. This episode is a lot, but very informative. Plenty of Fire, NWSL, and Bears talk around here.

Can't keep track of all of them. Fire season over, btw. Or, I guess, there's still Fire II who won the first men's playoff game in Bridgeview since 2009.

Wait, we made an episode around an hour and it's actually about the Chicago Fire? How the heck did that happen? Oh, right. Cause Berhalter was finally announced.

The Fire's season is still over, but the House's Open Cup journey has just begun. But the Bois are too busy talking about the XBox Game Pass.

"The Chicago Fire play in the same league as Lionel Messi. And there are three porta-potties."

The Fire seem to be closing in on Berhalter as their next coach, but they did just lose two games in one week. So we'll see how it goes, ya know?

Fire win and there may be good news on the way for the supporters, but like... Do any of these games matter anymore this season?

Neither of us even watched the Fire game this week. It doesn't matter anymore.

WHERE ARE YOU HIDING THEM?! WHO CARES ABOUT A 4-1 LOSS, I WANT MY ICE CREAM NACHOS!

Never trust tequila.

Tim's back to fill in for Adnan. Shaqiri's gone now. This episode is long.

Heitz finally left, but neither of the Bois seem too happy about it. But also, CJ Stroud is a Top 5 QB? Or is it Justin Herbert?

Jiggly has one(1) can of Busch Light and suddenly the podcast is running a whole lot smoother. But there's really nothing to talk about this week except how much nothing the Fire seem to be doing for the rest of the month.

It's Olympics time. And Mansueto is gonna pay for a new Chicago Fire stadium all by himself?

The Fire are still passengers in their own games and we still mostly just want to talk about College Football 25 instead.

Adnan spends the entire episode reminding all of us that Early Access to College Football 25 is open. But also, the Euros, Copa, and even the Fire in their own way are done for the summer.

The Fire does Fire things, England and Canada are in the semifinals of their tournaments, and one of us had an existential crisis again. This is Sad Bois.
