Sports EN ↓ 246 episodes

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.

Adnan is back and both he and Jiggly talk about a lot of things that make no sense, but are perfectly reasonable topics for this podcast.

I'M NOT DONE YET 08.06.2021

We Talk a Lot About a Lot of Things 31.03.2021
