Sad Bois FC was formed when three amateur/semi-pro soccer writers decided to join together and talk about how sad their favorite teams make them. Join Adnan, Jiggly, and RJ as they discuss the soccer that they care about. With a healthy mix of Premier League, MLS, and even J-League talk, this podcast is a free roam around the world of soccer.
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.
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!
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.
For once, Adnan's the one being bullied. But really, everyone's struggling. Despite putting on a good fight, most of the fun Euros teams lost. And the Fire are back to sucking out loud in the second half of games again. But at least we got a special guest in our second half.
This week, the Bois talk about trains, kung fu kicks, and the failures of the Chicago Fire's fan base.
The Fire have won two games in a row. This is certainly a development. Also, Jiggly leaves in the middle of the episode to go get tacos.
The Fire didn't play, barely anything happened. So Jiggly gets to read off a list of names while Adnan tries not to fall asleep!
Look, things got weird this week. The Fire actually won a game and there's a Canadian team in the Stanley Cup Finals.
This week, Alex Calabrese comes along to bring some joy into the Sad Bois episode. This was not taken very well, but that did mean a detailed discussion of Chelsea and the Fire's potential coaching changes.
It is Monday. Klopas is still coach. How? With special guest, Nick.
Adnan's back and the Fire lost to St. Louis, but Jiggly is somehow unbothered by it all.
The Chicago Fire suck and Adnan abandoned us, but Joe Chatz is here this week to talk about gaming, beer, and how much worse things can get.
It says a lot about a team when you've given up the most goals in the league, but your best player is your goalkeeper. Adnan asked for Midwest Emo at some point, so we used "midwest emo on crack riff" by Yvette Young. Please don't yell at us.
The Fire are funny again! And that also means they sucked so much that we need to talk about it in great detail. From Kellyn Acosta playing peekaboo, to needing to save Frank Klopas from himself, this episode has a lot going on.
Joe Chatz is back to talk about the NFL Draft, Millwall, and what everyone should know about Fire II. Also, a very lengthy discussion about music.
Adnan's out, so Tim is here to fill and for both him and a very distracted Jiggly. The Fire won a game and it means... almost nothing.
The Fire were exactly who we thought they were, but we do have a special guest.
In an effort to keep Jiggly from completely losing his mind this weekend, Adnan has decided to hop onto MLB The Show 24 with him as both struggle to both do a soccer podcast and understand the basic rules of baseball. We here at Sad Bois do some weird stuff sometimes. And sometimes it's fun. And hopefully it's fun for you guys as well.
No one has felt the passage of time except us.
In a special guest episode with Nick back on to talk about the US Open Cup and Jerry Reinsdorf, Jiggly attempts to explain how he doesn't pay taxes and Adnan welcomes Ole back to Manchester United.
The Bois attempt to figure out the format of how to talk about the Fire nowadays after the first game of the season. Because they actually played pretty well.
This week, the Bois bring on Tim for his first time in a full studio. Some laughs about life are had, but ultimately the important things are discussed: MLS's refusal to play in the US Open Cup and a Chicago Fire season preview.
