S04E09 - It Can't Rain All The Time

7 days ago

It's getting so dark at the AMPU studios lately that we're making references from the movie, The Crow. And to top things off, it's C's turn to be under the weather, so it's only Paul and E making a go of it this week. Yikes. But stick with us, dear listeners, we do spot some silver linings, like Harriel's new contract and the leaked description of the Union's retro 3rd kit. Plus we're pretty psyched for the return of Artemis II.

Now, let's all gather around that Ted Lasso burn barrel.

S04E08 - Hope Dies Fast

Saturday Apr 04, 2026

It's been a hell of a March. The Union are defeated in their first five regular season games. The AMPU studios are scrambling to deal with travel, illness, and lost episodes. Italy fails to qualify for their third consecutive World Cup. Is there no end in sight to the madness? Jump into the pilot seat with Paul, C, and E this week as they try pull out from this nose dive as they discuss the now-obvious effect of trading away several senior players, indulge in time-traveling fantasies, celebrate Reading getting into the World Cup, and play a game that's sure to go no where: "How Many Union Players Aren't Legally Old Enough to Drink?"

Thank God for Artemis II.

S04E07 - Time to Pretend

Friday Mar 20, 2026

Is it a coincidence that this episode length is 12:02? Like the namesake (and not so famous) error code on the Apollo 11 mission - a lot of stuff is going wrong and now we have a lot to worry about: downed by Atlanta, knocked out by Club America, and then there's the Ernst Tanner stuff. Is time to worry? Is it time to hope?

We're so relieved and grateful that you're ok, Jack.

S04E06 - Turn the Beat Around

Friday Mar 13, 2026

Spirits are a little down at the AMPU studios this week. Well, it's mostly E whose spirit is down. But for Paul, C, and E it's nothing that Groundhog Day, time-traveling wizards, and the Cricket World Cup can't fix.

S04E05 - Persian Rug Making

Saturday Mar 07, 2026

One strand at a time, that's what it takes to build something complex and beautiful, like a successful season for the Philadelphia Union. That goes triple for us here at the AMPU studios. Join Paul, C, and E this week as they recap the Union's home opener against perennial buzz killers, NYC FC. Of course the AMPU crew digresses into other topics like: The 2026 Union feel like how 2025 Union should have been, referees and uncomfortably long VAR checks, Stas as the Union's Gronk, and most importantly, the Union absolutely, without any doubt, need to host escape rooms at Subaru Park.

The pursuit of perfection continues...

S04E04 - Christy and Two Idiots

Friday Feb 27, 2026

There are matchups aplenty this week at the AMPU studios: DC United versus Philadelphia Union, Philadelphia Union versus Defence Force FC, poutine versus Swedish meatballs. Join Paul, C, and E as they review what the Boys in Blue have been up too, squeeze in some Winter Olympics news, uncover a conspiracy theory to bring CR7 to MLS, and introduce the World Cup of National Foods.

The sooner we get behind, the sooner we can get caught up.

S04E03 - Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler

Friday Feb 20, 2026

Even though we've entered the season of self-denial, it feels like Fat Tuesday hasn't ended at the AMPU studios. First, C is back! And second, the Union square off against Defense Force FC in their first CONCACAF Champions Cup match. Join Paul, C, and E as they drink the Flavor-Aid and discuss the upcoming reunion with Tai Baribo's DC United, record the first Replacements reference of the season, bypass the Winter Olympics and go straight for the Cricket World Cup, and celebrate the genius and poetic soccer commentator that is Ryan Davis.

S04E02 - Help Wanted

Sunday Feb 15, 2026

Hey, everyone, Trevor the Intern here. Man, I completely dropped the ball this week on one of my primary tasks around the AMPU studios: post the episode on time. I blame the complete break down of competency on the absence of C this week. Wait, wait, wait, don't just skip this week's episode! Paul and E really did try their best and it's going to look really bad on my performance review if this episode gets poor download numbers. So, why don't you listen as the guys dive deep about all the latest Union news, like...umm...ok, you know they pretty much go on and on about the Winter Olympics. But there is quick mention of the upcoming Defense Force FC Champions Cup game as well as the Union's first match of the season against Tai Baribo's DC United (yeah, I don't like the sound of that either). But there's a decent goof about alligator kababs that's worth checking out, too. So, please do me a solid and check out the episode. If you help me out, maybe I can get E to put Chaos Engine on a coffee mug. Thanks! Trevor out!

S04E01 - Opening Ceremony

Friday Feb 06, 2026

With the new Union season less than two weeks away, it's time to rub the winter sleep out of eyes, start brewing the coffee, and get the AMPU studio up and running. Join Paul, C, and E as they return to the studio for the start of Season 4 of the podcast! A lot has happened during the off season and the AMPU crew jump right in as they can as they mourn the loss of core players like Jakob Glesnes, Tai Baribo, Kai Wagner, and Mikael Uhre (as well as one of our favorite Drexel Dragons, Chris Donovan), take a quick detour through the English Championship League, learn how to pronounce Danish soccer team names from C, and do their best to convince everyone that the Winter Olympics are the best Olympics.

One more job.

S03E42 - Season's Finale-ing

Thursday Dec 11, 2025

We're getting into the holiday spirit here at the AMPU studios. And beside decking halls and trimming trees, that also means wrapping seasons. Join Paul, C, and E as they reflect on how far the Union have come in only one year and on all the great things to be festive about: the Kai-Tai, Dave Leno, the Larimer, and 100+ episodes! And finally, the AMPU crew concludes the season with a possible rival to the Christmas classic, Die Hard.

Happy Holidays, everyone! We wish you all the best in the New Year! We truly appreciate you all and we'll see you next season! GO UNION!
