Sad Bois FC was formed when three amateur/semi-pro soccer writers covering the Chicago Fire decided to join together and talk about how sad their favorite teams make them. RJ left to buy some milk a couple years back, but you can still join Adnan and Jiggly as they discuss the soccer that they care about. With a healthy mix of Bundesliga, MLS, and even J-League talk, this podcast is a free roam around the world of soccer.

Episodes

Bosnia Finally Goes to Golden Gate 04.07.2026

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.

It's a Whole World (Cup) Out There 13.06.2026

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.

A Chaotic World Cup Preview 30.05.2026

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.

The Donut is in The Fridge 09.05.2026

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.

Too Many Johns 25.04.2026

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.

A War on Tanking 11.04.2026

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).

Trying Not To Die 28.03.2026

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

Two Whole Bagels 20.02.2026

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.

Korean Paczkis 06.02.2026

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".

This Is All About Philip Rivers, BTW 20.12.2025

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.

Rotisserie Chicken 30.11.2025

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

Looking for Logan (Pause) 09.11.2025

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.

When Losing Becomes a Memory 03.10.2025

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.

Sometimes Maybe Good, Sometimes Maybe- 23.08.2025

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.

i wanna go home 27.07.2025

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.

I'm Afraid to Face God 21.06.2025

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.

Finding God at the Maid Cafe 03.06.2025

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.

A Normal Amount of Donuts 10.05.2025

CHICAGO POPE CHICAGO POPE CHICAGO POPE Jiggly 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.

Who is Tyler Shogun? 26.04.2025

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.

Stuck in the Bathroom 06.04.2025

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.

The Tutorial Stage 16.03.2025

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.

The End of Sad Bois? 18.02.2025

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?

Kobe Drops 30 Points in 30 Minutes 11.02.2025

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 Live Episode 03.02.2025

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 End of History 28.01.2025

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