Jake & Trey barrel through the smog to give YOU a non-hazardous level of Blue Balls this morning. And what's on the docket? Frustrating scorelines! Testy supporters section exchanges! Mystery slurs! Knee surgeries! Major deals in the league, and the lack thereof at NYCFC! The vibes, friends, are not on -- and your cohorsts are on the ground talking about it. We chat about all the elements that are conspiring to sabotage our season and go looking for positives to cling to in the meantime. Hope springs eternal, but will NYCFC be able to rescue this season, or will it be, in the words of CFG's Brian Marwood, "tough titties"? Those with respiratory or heart conditions should be informed: you've got Blue Balls.

Blue Boys got you covered this week to break down three straight NYCFC road losses -- including an early-stage crash out of the Open Cup, and some groan-worthy losses to both Toronto and Charlotte. It's not a good week, blue ballers -- but Trey and Jake get into it anyway, discussing what we learned from minutes snatched by some rarely-seen NYCFC'ers, talking over the usual attacking woes, set piece despair, and mentality mishigas. THEN: a derby day precap and just to keep us from slitting our wrists with rusty knives, we hit the new stadium renderings. Take your hypercube out of your pocket -- you've got Blue Balls.

Your boys in blue break down a massive win at home against FC Dallas and the rise of the Santi Rodriguez False Nine in what feels like a paradigm-shifting mid-season match. Jake and Trey take to the booth to break down this 3-1 victory, Ledezma on the push and the press, and how NYCFC finally found a system that optimizes its talent. Plus: James Sands on the USMNT, Taty Castellanos delivering some Girona Gjramatics, a brand new brit in the USMNT office, and of course a precap of our Canadian sojourn this weekend. Don't get upset that you've been fired from your cable news job; after all, you've got Blue Balls.

Your boys in blue have a treat for you this week — Jake and Trey are joined by the illustrious DAN AVIDAN (Game Grumps, Ninja Sex Party) who flexes his bonafides as an OG fan of NYNJ soccer and a stalwart NYCFC supporter from season one. Your starstruck hosts cannot help but get into full-on interview mode with Dan, but worry not: the threesome also merrily recap the triumphant 2-1 win over Nashville, hit the Talking Points, and chat anticipated changes in Dallas. Put on your loosest tuxedo pants - you’ve got very special Blue Balls.
