It's over/under time, the MOST wonderful time of the year! Break out your scorecards and work through the season with us. Where did we go wrong? Where did we go right? And where did we go home? But before that, Jake & Trey have more to say about sporting directors, signed and unsigned contracts, and the future of New York City FC. Plus a fond farewell from the most fun season in years. Thank you to everyone who listens and double-thanks if you ever wrote a review or dropped a dollar in the tip jar. We'll see you in 2026! *Blue Balled Acquaintance Be Forgot...*

It's the season wrap-up, Blue Ballers! Jake & Trey review the eastern conference final flame-out against MLS' Miami monster before they similarly routed a top-shelf Vancouver to take the cup. But there's plenty else to talk about: World Cup draws and World Cup prices, broadcast rights and wrongs, and MLS joining the big kids table with a fall-to-spring schedule. And coming soon in part 2: Santa's on his sleigh with a big fat bag of Over Unders! Maybe put the butt flap in front: you've got Blue Balls!

Folks, we didn't think we'd be here. But you know what they say: when men make plans, Maxi Moralez laughs. A 1-0 victory over supporters' shield superstars Philly Union has given NYCFC the keys to the eastern conference finals, and your boys in blue are breaking it all down for you. We talk why the squad's goal was #squadgoals, the magnificent Maxi, False Nine Nico, transition positions, Jansen's triumphant triage, and more. Plus a check-in with league winners Gotham FC and a precap of the Messi we have yet to clean up. Careful around that gravy — you've got Blue Balls.

It took yer boys three goals, too many yellow cards, and one fallen soldier, but NYCFC is back in the eastern semifinals!! A white-knuckled ending to the Charlotte chronicle leaves NYCFC on top with a 3-1 victory. We chat Nico's wondergoals, performative Haaktivism, the Armchair Ignorance of Tayvon Gray, and the devastating consequences of Charlotte's concrete turf for perennial NYCFC protagonist Perea. Plus: Gotham FC's stunning upset and some potentially pessimistic predictions for Philadelphia. Eat your heart out, eastern conference: you've got Blue Balls!

Pour something to take the edge off, Blue Ballers; NYCFC's going to a third match. Jake & Trey pass the time waiting for the polls to close by recapping a frequently frustrating bout against visitors Charlotte that ended in a heartbreaking penalty shootout which broke for the away team. We talk Tayvon's Gray-test performance, load-bearing O'Neills, the gaffer's strategic struggles, and Julian's juiffed chance. Plus: a precap of what happens next and a touching eulogy for national hero and friendly fire enthusiast Richard "Dicked Down" Cheney. Careful where you point that thing - you've got Blue Balls.

Oh Baby, Blue Ballers, it is playoff time, and boy is it ever. Jake and Trey talk the whole shebang right after the big playoff road win - Alonzo's wonder goal, Freese's tidy night, Pascal's surprising choices, and how the boys held it down. Then, a quick precap of a Zaha return to the bronx and what else might change for the pigeons in flight. Strap in jiggle the harness, you've got Blue Balls.

Blue Ballers, it's October and the pigeons are still flying. Pascal Jansen's first season ends with an ignominious 1-2 defeat against Seattle, but NYCFC still in the 5-seed and facing perennial thorns-in-our-ass Charlotte FC over 3 matches. Jake & Trey talk Seattle's red flags and blue balls, punchy postmatch patter, AI-nxiety, Trey's 2025 ballot (not that one), and of course a playoffs precap. Jays fans will have to wait — you've got Blue Balls.

Blue ballers, the season is winding down but we're WOUND UP! Jake and Trey sit down to take some end of season lessons from the Philly phumble. Then: we talk about it and literally nothing else. David Lee, one of the true NYCFC originals, is leaving for greener pastures. What can we say about him? No, actually, what can we say? C-Lee-chet as it is, we must call it the end of an era. So take your yearbooks off your laps — you've got Blue Balls!

Blue ballers, you sound crazy. 0-4 loss? What Miami game? Your boys in blue are here to talk about a ROUTING in the Hudson River Rivalry which saw the New Jersey Red Bulls all but btfo of playoff contention with a 2-3 loss against the Pigeons. Jake and Trey are giddy to tap the spine of this team and examine just what turned a blowout into a blitz this week. We talk Martins mistakes and massive moments, Freese's fogs, Messi's magic, Nico's notes of nuance, Perea's parabolic arcs, and so much more. PLUS: Racial epithets? In supporter's sections? and the Mets crash out in spectacular fashion to give us a clearer run at the cup. AND: a quick n' dirty precap of Philadelphia. Time for that eleventh-inning stretch: you've got Blue Balls.

Your boys in blue are in fabulous spirits. Not only are we six points up from last time against conference titans Charlotte and Columbus, but the homie Jake returns triumphantly. We talk titillating tactics, the conditioning secrets of those beefy Dutch boys, Fernandez and Freese’s fabulous feats, and more. PLUS: Matty’s contract and Braddy’s hard tacks. AND: a messi little precap of Miami and Mahwah’s own. Don’t get the last bus seat at Port Authority — you’ve got Blue Balls.
