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.

Ain't This a Mess? 17.02.2021 44:13
The Sad Bois are tired and confused as they discuss... Honestly there's no coherent plot to discuss, but they do discuss it. For at least 40-something minutes.
No More Fans! 10.02.2021 58:54
The Sad Bois have decided to make it known: Sports should not have fans. And Jiggly shouldn't be trusted to remember anything. That and some Premier League talk fill this episode of Sad Bois FC.
Babysitting Collier 27.01.2021 1:03:17
Adnan and Jiggly have been left alone with any of RJ's adult supervision and must now fend for themselves as they discuss the possible cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics, the resignation of Nelson Rodriguez, and why Jiggly thinks Alyse LaHue should replace him.
Listen to This Episode in Your "Frunchroom" 13.01.2021 55:19
This week the Sad Bois talk about how disappointed they are in Celtic, discuss the Chicago NISA team's final naming vote, and realize that Jiggly still can't speak French.
Return of the Bois! 06.01.2021 59:11
The Sad Bois are back from their winter break! Adnan still hates Ole, Jiggly is still complaining about money, and RJ takes a stand against the biggest fraud around. Already in mid-season form around here.
Welcome to Chicago Raccoon FC! 25.11.2020 56:04
The Sad Bois take another break and return with some exciting discussions on Barcelona's decline, MLS Playoff hijinks, and what to name the new Chicago NISA team (Hint: It's in the title).
The Chicago Fire 2020 Season Autopsy 11.11.2020 1:06:08
The Sad Bois give a quick update on world soccer before they jump into an in-depth discussion on what went wrong for the Chicago Fire this season and what things they need to improve on going into the next.
Please Clap FC 28.10.2020 54:23
After a week off due to *circumstances*, the Sad Bois are back with more content. RJ is concerned about the NWSL Expansion team, Jiggly is sad about the Yuki trade, and Adnan still hates Norway.
We Learned Nothing This Week 13.10.2020 42:50
Despite there being plenty of soccer this week, the Sad Bois find very little to actually discuss this episode. Adnan is annoyed by the Bosnian national team, RJ has some Premier League news, and Jiggly seems much more concerned with the new FIFA than he is with the Fire.
Mascot Talk 07.10.2020 55:55
This week the Sad Bois discuss the merits of being a mascot, why Timo Werner should play in MLS, and how Ben Olsen is just too handsome to fire.
Dier Ruins Everything 30.09.2020 41:01
The Sad Bois attempt to discuss Torres' vendetta against Adnan, Higuain attempting to fight three guys at once, and the Chicago Fire's inexplicable winning "streak"; but really they just talk about Eric Dier running off the pitch in the middle of a game to use the bathroom.
Embrace the Absurd. Embrace Fire. 23.09.2020 53:56
More Sad Bois content and more sadness! RJ hates Fernando Torres, Adnan realizes that the Red Stars actually deliver on their promises, and Jiggly somehow finds a way to compare Daniel Sturridge to Michael Jordan.
The Worst Episode... so far... 16.09.2020 43:26
The Sad Bois walk into this episode horribly underprepared, but still manage to bring you all the soccer news you need to know about this week. Like Shonan Bellmare's win, Savannah McCaskill's red card, and how much Adnan still hates Orlando (and Sky Blue FC for some reason).
How to Go Outside 09.09.2020 1:05:29
Jiggly has finally gone outside! In other news, the Chicago Fire continue to be depressing, the Chicago Red Stars are starting back up pretty soon, and the Sad Bois discuss how "The" MLS is a meme.
A Lack of Serotonin 02.09.2020 52:08
This week, the Sad Bois truly live up to their name. After a long discussion on the women's game in Europe, an increasingly confusing MLS season, and how to get Jiggly out of the house, the Bois finally go into the Fire's underlying issues at length.
A Very Messi Episode 26.08.2020 1:08:27
When the Chicago Fire win, the Sad Bois get very confused. Chris Brady starts for Madison, Messi is on the move, and Adnan still hates Sky Blue FC for some reason.
With Special Guest: Giarc! 19.08.2020 48:34
The Sad Bois are missing two very important members of the team, but fill at least one of the roles with a french recording bot. Discussions about Messi's next move, that weird Lavelle trade, and Ben Olsen follow in an episode that should've never made it this far.
We Laugh, But We Also Learn 12.08.2020 52:48
The Sad Bois are bringing you some fun learning this week as they discuss life in Alaska, the sports climate in India, and also they talk about soccer, which is what the podcast is supposed to be about.
We're Doing This Out of Genuine Concern 05.08.2020 52:39
The Sad Bois once again lose the plot for an entire episode, with discussions about goalkeeping, the J-League, and Jiggly's recent "purchase" of a "local" soccer team.
Disappointment Week 28.07.2020 1:03:17
In a crushing week for Chicago soccer, the Sad Bois discuss the Chicago Fire's collapse in the Mickey Mouse Cup and the Chicago Red Stars disappointing loss in the NWSL Challenge Cup Final. Meanwhile, we all remain concerned over Jiggly's refusal to leave his room.
Blame Kronholm 21.07.2020 1:05:49
The Fire record their first loss of the tournament and obviously everything has gone wrong. Meanwhile the Red Stars continue to float their way through the NWSL Challenge Cup. All of this while Jiggly's brain slowly melts over the course of the episode.
And we are BACK! 14.07.2020 1:08:11
The Chicago Fire are finally back and there's much to talk about with their first win of the year that is 2020. Jiggly wants to discuss body slamming defenders, RJ reminds everyone of what streaming anime was before the days of Crunchyroll, and Adnan still hates the country of Norway.
Ride the Slide 07.07.2020 53:41
The Sad Bois attempt to give their opinions on a game that probably won't happen. Meanwhile, Jiggly trashes La Liga again, Adnan approves of the NWSL Playground, and RJ gives everyone a history lesson.
No More Anthems 30.06.2020 55:23
With Liverpool handily winning the Premier League, the Sad Bois focus their attention on the return of American soccer in the form of the NWSL Challenge Cup. Also, they get easily distracted by loud noises for the second week in a row.
Orlando Has Been Liquidated 23.06.2020 50:59
The Sad Bois are back with hot takes about the greatest Argentine footballer, the NWSL Challenge Cup situation, and various loud background noises. Soccer shouldn't be back, but it is and we're gonna keep covering it as it happens.
