In this first episode, Jay and Kelly are on opposite sides of the country on disparate adventures with Kelly in Los Angeles and Jay in New York City.

Simultaneously, Jay spends his Away Days wandering NYC recording interviews with fellow traveling Atlanta United supporters before and after the NYCFC match, samples the sounds of the official ATLUTD away supporters section during the live match, gets to know some NYCFC supporters, and has an impromptu interview with an Unrelegated listener crashed by Kevin Egan (play by play announcer for Atlanta United on Fox Sports South, presenter on The XTRA on beIN Sports USA) and Dan Gargan (Atlanta United color analyst on Fox Sports South) in a surprise series of events after the NYCFC match.
