The boys behind The Best Soccer Show are back with a new name but the same nonsense. Listen each week as Jason and Jared cover soccer in the United States as only they can.
A quick message with the big news. We are now, once again and as it was willed, THE BEST SOCCER SHOW. JD & The Rod is dead, long live THE BEST SOCCER SHOW. Go subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
It's the last show before the first show: The final JD & The Rod before we pick up shop and resurrect The Best Soccer Show. This show went off-the-rails in the best way possible. After talking about the Portland Timbers win over the Union, Jason and Jared get into a debate about Jared's idea for an annual #MLSIsBack tourney that ties in the Open Cup somehow?

THIS IS THE PENULTIMATE JD & THE ROD. But don't worry. The boys will explain everything, including when the launch of the resurrected Best Soccer Show will happen (#BSSIsBack). CONCACAF has settled on a qualifying format (THE OCTAGONAL) and Jason and Jared have some nickname suggestions. There's a breakdown of the #MLSIsBack quarterfinal matchups, with some thoughts on the teams and their performances so far. Join the Cult of Almeyda today! The boys also hit on the NWSL Challenge Cup final, the joys of lockerroom celebrations and the new women's team coming to Los An-hel-es. This is Los Anheles, I need more than talent. I need stars.

THE BOYS GOT MLS IS BACK FEVER. There's a lot of talk of handsome men in this one, then some breakdown of the proceedings in Orlando (there's...a lot of soccer at MLS Is Back) and Jason goes wild and unveils a new character, "Bane Bradley". Then they boys discuss the differences between the 'augmented reality' of Fox versus the 'brunch vibe' of ESPN, before breaking down the latest Christian Pulisic performance for Chelsea. Finally, Jason tries to figure out why Austin FC is trolling Columbus fans with images of a Crew loss from when Anthony Precourt owned the Crew. It's....weird.

The boys went live during the first game of #MLSIsBack and it was...weird? Jason and Jared talked about the logos everywhere and the poor play and how Dom Dwyer is a maniac.

Jason and Jason dive into the Fyre Festival-like food situation at MLS Is Back before discussing the problem of FC Dallas's six positive test. Pick Your Poison time. The boys then get into the transfer market (it's soft), take a call from Eddie in Brooklyn on whether he should make the commitment to Inter Miami, and give some love to the very much in-form Christian Pulisic.

Jared is off on his beach vaca, so Jason and Nicky Soup & Sausage open up the show talking about the MLS Is Back schedule that just dropped. Then we reminisce about Landon Donovan's goal against Algeria at the 2010 World Cup, with some Besties getting in on the act with their own memories. Then Jared calls in from the key party...er, family vacation, to share his own 2010 memories. Check out Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Nick's FC Cincinnati podcast.

What is this? We don't know. It's a show about American soccer...but also about hair grooming and conspiracy theories and much more. The boys got into watching the Bundesliga...or not, the plan to play MLS and NWSL in a one place, Weston McKennie and whether he's good, how leagues should create atmosphere in empty stadiums (with sex dolls?), and soccer conspiracy theory (shoutout to Alex Jermaine Jones).
