The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Are you having déjâ vu, Blue Ballers? A late-night last-minute goal stole points off NYCFC's plate and your boys Jake and Trey are here to recap it. We talk depth and DPs, Tayvon troubles, butterfly effects, min-maxing when we're missing Maxi, and much much more. Plus: week 2 MLS recaps, merch mishigas, and a blast from the past as we talk about the inevitable ten-year-anniversary flashbacks and the players who until now have gone mostly... unreferenced. And finally, a quick home opener precap in advance of a matchup against expansion sister side Orlando. Don't wave your cane at anyone too hard this week, Al Green — you've got Blue Balls.…

We're back, blue bitches, for Season Eleven! Jake and Trey, your boys in blue, are so excited to talk to you about NYCFC's season opener that we're pinching ourselves in the neck to make sure we're not dreaming! We break down every white-knuckled moment of NYCFC's draw against eleven ten of Miami's finest, including the cards that were and the cards that weren't, the beginning of Alonso Martinez' golden boot pursuit, the Gulf of Messi Goals, Mitja's Cristian mission, Jansen's first chjances at NYCFC glory, and the holes in the roster we long desperately to fill. Plus a check-in with the rest of the league, debates on the finer points of NYC bike regulation, and Trey's first sexy little precap of the year for west-coast titans LAFC. Tread carefully if you've already got one yellow card: you've got Blue Balls.…

Sharp-eared Blue Ballers will know: we never expected to be here after last week. But after a 3-1 victory over visiting Cincy, we've got ourselves a three-game series and the extra motivating factor of a cross-town rival in the postseason. Could NYCFC actually make it to the second round of playoffs? Or was the defensive devastation we saw on Saturday just a flash in the pan? Jake and Trey break it all down for you: Kevin O'Toole and Justin Haak's all-timer performances, Thiago Martins' first-ever club goal, standouts and brainfarts from Freese, and the coaching tete-a-tete that gave us our groove back heading into game three. Then: a little chat about the rest of the bracket, a check-in on spooky season, plus some precap discussion of NYCFC's high hill to climb away, staring down the end of their season.

Rough week for New York, Blue Ballers! Jake & Trey hop on the mic to break down one of the most disturbingly toothless performances by NYCFC in club history, in a moment which needed anything but. We talk Santi self-sabotage, Trayvon’s late-game drama, Cushing’s tactical malpractice, and more.

Blue ballers, a 0-2 loss against Montreal to drop your boys to 6th has Jake and Trey feeling restless. So we've got another short one that turned out to be a long one on our hands.

Ahoy Blue Ballers and welcome back to another edition of your least-favorite favorite soccer pod, and boy did we miss you. After a bye week for both the boys and pod boys, Jake and Trey dive into the last two games of the team's current mini-streak. We talk Santi and Alonso's white hot run, how NYCFC can (or can not) hold it together to end a match, and what feathers we can bless some lesser appreciated pigeons with. Then, Trey asks Jake for some sage MVP voting advice, the inevitable journey to Orlando, and the French (Canadian) mob standing in our way. Scarf up and zip it tight, you've got Blue Balls.…

Sunnier skies for us, Blue Ballers! An explosive 5-1 victory against New Jersey’s not-quite-finest has Jake and Trey feeling cautiously optimistic about the end of NYCFC’s season. But have Cushing’s children found their form? Or did the adrenaline of a Hudson River sweep give us a power boost we’ll be paying for heading into the end of the 2024 season? We break down the details, including star making performances across the board and every glorious goal, then chat the implications for the team, the gaffer, and the postseason.

Your Boys in Blue were in the press box for both the historic inaugural 5-1 shellacking by Philadelphia AND the GOAT’s visit to Gotham and the single secured point of the week. Is a last minute equalizer from James Sands enough to buoy our spirits? Or is a continuing winless streak in a clutch moment sending us into fits of depression? PLUS: an insider look into the luxury boxes of the new stadium and a chatty check-in with the man with the answers, Brad Sims. THEN: a classic Fillmore precap to the final derby day of the season.
