Sad Bois FC
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.

The Mickey Mouse Cup! 16.06.2020 47:03
The Sad Bois return from a week where so little happened that they couldn't even make an episode. But now with the return of La Liga, the Premier League, and MLS, we are back again! Just in time for Jiggly to talk about Pete's Fresh Market and Adnan to mix up his ducks.
A Necessary Discussion 03.06.2020 59:26
In a time of massive turmoil, the Sad Bois begin the podcast with conversations about Jesse Marsch, the NWSL Challenge Cup, and the possible MLS Lockout; but in the end we talk about what is truly important right now: the fact that Black Lives Matter.
The Clip Show! 28.05.2020 51:14
In an editing experiment that will never happen again, the Sad Bois spent too much time talking before the show than during the show, so we've added some fun in-between clips from that pre-show conversation. Join us as we discuss Der Klassiker, the Ponzi Scheme that is MLS, and Columbia College?
"I Don't Want To Be With Rockford" 20.05.2020 45:27
When describing a descent into madness, you expect chaos. Instead, the Sad Bois, who have clearly lost their minds, calmly discuss the K-League, the Bundesliga, and why soccer shouldn't come back in America or England.
The Lost Episode 05.05.2020 40:35
It's quarantine. There's finals for at least two of the hosts. This is just a whole mess, but of all the podcasts that the Sad Bois have produced, this is certainly one.
The Most Massive Club (in Newcastle) 21.04.2020 46:22
The Sad Bois are still trying to keep the faith as they record yet another podcast with very little new information. RJ talks about the time he went to Hawaii, Jiggly dishes out cool facts about Gumby, and we all love Newcastle United.
The "Bully Jiggly" Episode 15.04.2020 58:56
The Sad Bois have lost the plot. There is no time. There is no soccer. There is no plan. We are all criminals.
The Jesse Lingard Special 07.04.2020 58:10
As the Sad Bois continue their trot through the vast desert of the sports world, this episode is less about soccer and more about what each of the guys have on their mind at the moment. We find that RJ is a criminal, Adnan is willing to fight on a moment's notice, and Jiggly is still a bald fraud.
We Beat FIFA 25.03.2020 51:59
Although the world is still at a stand still, the Sad Bois continue to provide you all with some #content! This episode, the lads make fun of Naperville, become newly minter BSK Borča fans for life, and discover that Jiggly was a bald fraud all along.
The Descent Begins 18.03.2020 49:10
With the world of soccer essentially halted, the Sad Bois begin their descent into madness. In an episode that talks about Ronaldinho's prison tournament, the insanity of life at the moment, and other nonsensical topics, there's still room for a serious conversation about the USSF's recent comments. Join us as we begin the march towards nowhere.
Wash Your Dang Hands! 10.03.2020 50:27
This week the Sad Bois don't just talk about the Chicago Fire's last game, but also get into a lengthy discussion about COVID-19 (The "Coronavirus") and Peter Wilt (separately). Even among the sruprisingly serious moments of discussion, Adnan still has time to prove how bald Pep Guardiola really is and RJ proves that Robert Beric and Adam Buksa are both related and have something to do with the Be...
The Saga of Vending Machine-chan 03.03.2020 58:39
The 2020 MLS Season has begun and the Sad Bois have some thoughts about the Chicago Fire's first game. Jiggly's found a new friend, RJ teaches everyone how to wash their hands, and Adnan realizes that his Nan isn't actually on the bench. With some extra talk about the Red Stars' schedule, Liverpool's loss to Watford, and Jozef Martinez's injury, there's plenty of #content this week!
Season's Previews 25.02.2020 54:44
With the 2020 MLS season incoming, the Sad Bois spend most of their time trying to discuss recent signings and their outlook on the coming Chicago Fire season. Other topics include the many talents of Yuki Nagasato, analysis of our own credentials, and why Reddit probably hates us.
Jiggly Doesn't Have a Dollar 19.02.2020 49:12
The Sad Bois are back at it again! In the middle of their discussion on the start of the J-League, Manchester City's potential relegation, and the Chicago Fire preseason, they still find time to discuss lowering property values and the fact that Jiggly refuses to pay a single dollar for a video game.
At Jewel's with Lukaku 13.02.2020 53:17
Due to scheduling issues, this episode is a little late, but it's so much more than that. This week was both the most controlled and most off-the-rails episode so far. Truly a defining episode. RJ talks about his weekends shopping with Romelu Lukaku, Adnan dances with Elliot Collier, and Jiggly sits on a train for three hours. All of that while providing analysis on MLS and the Chicago Fire.
Bald 04.02.2020 47:29
The Sad Bois try to put together something after a fairly boring week in the soccer world. Jiggly drops some inside information as Adnan continues his quest to have the whole world show up at his door one day.
Craig Takes Over 28.01.2020 32:51
The wheels are already coming off the bus. Luckily for the Sad Bois, it's been a pretty slow week. This time around they talk about the FA Cup, the Bobby Shuttleworth signing, and discover a new enemy in their temperamental recording software (known as "Craig").
When Big Sam was Little Sam 21.01.2020 49:57
The Sad Bois take a bit of an off week from true analysis and focus on the really important things. Things like Adnan's theory of what makes a good coach, RJ's search for ice cream nachos, and Jiggly overcompensating for the way he pronounces "gif." Don't worry, there's still plenty of Premier League, NWSL, and Chicago Fire talk throughout.
My Wife Left Me 15.01.2020 43:55
*Orson Wells voice* AHHHHHH, The French! With a large amount of Chicago Fire news this past week, the Sad Bois dig into the concept of the MLS SuperDraft, the imminent Beric signing, and the rumor culture surrounding the club's supporter base. Make sure to stay tuned for our first giveaway!
Send Bread 07.01.2020 42:50
This week the Sad Bois discuss the recent rumors around the Chicago Fire becoming Manchester United's retirement home, the Chicago Red Stars' trade for Kealia Ohai, and what Kennedy Igboananike's been up to.
Vikings and Stans 29.12.2019 53:55
In the pilot episode, the Sad Bois try to lay out a general idea of what to expect. Hot takes are thrown around as they discuss the Premier League at Boxing Day and Adnan makes his decision on who to support in the J-League. Not to mention plenty of Chicago Fire talk!
