The one where we filmed in a blizzard. AWAY DAZE are back, and this time we're at Fancyfree, home of the Brooklyn Invincibles for a LIVE REACTION watchalong of the United v. Arsenal game.

Shoutout Howard and Jason, and the whole BKI gang. United won, and Jesse got a little too turnt... It's all love tho.

It's the Manc Derby, Round 2! So we had to welcome our Resident Cityzens (sounds like a horrible DJ duo) Tall and Elliot back to the pod. Tall drove down from Troy, and Elliot survived the MTA. It remains to be determined who is managed better, the MTA, or Manchester United Football Club. Familiar guests but new surroundings. That's right, it's AWAY DAZE. Today we are speaking to you not from a basement in Astoria, but from the holiest of all places. Heaven on Earth. That's right, we're here at ⁨@ClassicFootballShirtsTV⁩ NYC store in the heart of Chinatown. Stick around at the end to watch us go broke shopping their insane collection. None of this would have been possible without the GOAT Ronaldo. Thanks for waking up early for us on a Saturday Ronaldo!

Happy New Year everyone! We're at the midway point in the 25/26 Premier League season, so the boys sat down to have a chat, a laugh, and quite a few beers (and of course limoncello shots) while recapping our favorite moments from this epic season of Premier League and Banter Super League (so far). Some exciting announcements, including an evolution of the podcast to be more expansive and experimental, an On-Camera, First Team Debut for Producer Scottie, and an exciting new upcoming episode featuring a special guest phoning in from Manchester! And let us know in the comments if Scottie needs to get that tattoo...***PLEASE NOTE: This podcast was recorded on Sunday, January 4th, 2026. The day BEFORE Amorim was sacked, and Darren Fletcher was announced as interim manager of Manchester United. Em is a prophet. Limoncello shots all around. We'll speak to you soon...

Jesse and Em take out all their rage on two Tottenham fans, Sean and Ryan. Is it time for United to break their 4 game losing streak vs. Spurs? Jesse promises to wear a spurs jersey on the next episode if Spurs somehow beat United 5 games in a row. We discuss all the main talking points of this huge fixture-- which has become supercharged since the events of last season-- including the size of Amad's package. Get stuck in.

Jesse and Em sit down with Queens native and Liverpool die-hard Andy, as well as Danny Rose, but not the one who played for Tottenham. Things got a little crazy in today's episode... Rumor has it, Slot dresses up in a gimp suit and Gakpo saw him at the Merseyside Gimp Fest. Andy and Jesse get into a full on rap battle, and we hear a word from a sprightly, banter-loving friend of the pod, Flynn. Plus, the pod gets it's first sponsor in Pablo's Mate.

Jesse and Em sit down with billion pound blue bottlejobs Rotimi and Scout to discuss what already feels like an absolute must-win game for United... Jesse's soul has been crushed, and Em somehow predicts United to win the game? On the docket for today: What's good with Garbacho the Vapist? And who the hell are half of these guys on the Chelsea squad? Plus, a spirited debate about which is the bigger club. Let's get to the bottom of this...

Jesse and Em sit down with two Banter Super League groupchat OG's, and resident Cityzens, Tall and Elliot, ahead of the upcoming Manchester Derby at the Emptihad. The boys each gave predicted XI's, score predictions, and of course, loads of pure unfiltered, zesty banter. In addition to previewing Sunday's massive fixture, we found time to discuss the USMNT v Korea in New Jersey, and the broader landscape of football, or soccer, in the USA. Tall brought some wonderful perspective as a teacher and coach who formerly worked in the Bronx. Our Combined XI yielded what may be the best midfield in the prem, if it were real: Rodri, Reinders, Bruno Fernandes. And in our first edition of a new segment called "Devil's Advocate," Tall even found it in his heart to proclaim that there is a chance Manchester United could win the Prem this year... So you're telling me there's a chance...

Jesse and Em sit down with some truly iconic New York Gooners to hype up this PL opening weekend blockbuster fixture between two juggernauts: Manchester United and Arsenal Football Club.

Joining us on the pod today we have Jason Andrew and Howard Grandison, co-founders of the Arsenal Ultras group Brooklyn Invincibles, known for their Brooklyn watch parties, and their friendship with Spike Lee. Also joining us despite his hangover is our very own Adrian Salonga, long-time Banter Super League groupchat member, and even longer-time LES football organizer. A man of the people who removes sponsor logos from his jerseys for semi-political reasons, Adrian showed up for us when the podcast actually made it out of the groupchat.

On this, the first episode of the Banter Pod, we talk all things Arsenal, United, and beyond. Join us for a fun conversation, and of course, some predictions. We will have receipts...
