A weekly podcast where we swear to talk about the Philly Union, the whole Philly Union, and nothing but the Philly Union...mostly. With your hosts: Paul, C, and E

Episodes

Feb 6, 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

Dec 11, 2025

1hr 1 min

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!

S03E41 - Thank You for Being a Friend

Dec 5, 2025

48 min

Hallo und willkommen! With St. Nikolaus Day falling on the same day as the MLS Cup Final, things are getting a little Germanic at the AMPU Studios. Without the invaluable guidance of Paul this week, C and E try to hold the fort (and set up a Whamageddon-safe space) as they ponder the pressing questions at the threshold of the conclusion of the 2025 MLS season: With the signing of Ezekial Alladoh, is Damiani finally free from the dollars/goal stat? Who are the Golden Girls equivalents on Inter Miami? And: Do they know it's MLS Cup at all?

Happy Birthday, Scoops!

S03E40 - Be a Goldfish

Nov 27, 2025

47 min

Well, here we are.

We're working through the five stages of grief at the AMPU studios this week. And wherever you are in the process, join Paul, C, and E as they reflect on the Union's unceremonious end to their otherwise stellar season, explore the hypothesis of the 5th-Game Theory, and ask the question, "Is anyone really afraid of the Union?"

Let's be sad now. Let's be sad together. And then we can be a gosh-darn goldfish.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

S03E39 - Return of the Mack

Nov 22, 2025

1hr 20 min

Nate is back! The long-time FOTP returns to the AMPU Studios this week, bringing the swagger! Join Paul, C, E, and Nate as they reflect on what lies behind and what lies ahead for the Union, wonder how NFL-y the new MLS season schedule might become, and delve into the connection between the local game commentators and the Dark Side of the Moon.

Our newest motto: Rarely confident, often hopeful.

S03E38 - Rock Fingers

Nov 13, 2025

30 min

Hey. How's it going? With no games to report on and with a little too much time on our hands, things get a little Funky Bunch-y at the AMPU studios this week. Join Paul, C, and E as they celebrate Carnell's well-deserved honor, ponder the potential season schedule change, and review the best-named derbies in MLS.

Say hi to your mother for us.

S03E37 - Brevity is the Soul of Winning

Nov 6, 2025

50 min

Things get a little Shakespearean this week at the AMPU studios, much to the chagrin of the resident (but absent) literary expert, Christy. Join Paul and E (as they manage without the sage guidance of C) as they talk about the Union's efficient winning playoff strategy, empathize with Jeff Gal and his "Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Vey Bad Day", and suggest a new approach when it comes fan taunts and chants during games: Don't be crude, be creative.

S03E36 - Trick or Treat

Nov 1, 2025

44 min

It's the season of fun and frights, goodies and ghoulies! And at the AMPU Studio, we're making sure our pumpkin patch is as sincere as possible as the Playoffs are officially underway! Join Paul, C, and E as they discuss why Indy is an artist both when scoring and when celebrating, C's ability to affect the Space-Time continuum, and why Jack Elliott still makes Philly proud. Also: a special post-credits stinger where the AMPU crew deep dives into the Ocean's Trilogy, sequels in general, and C's possible new podcast.

S03E35 - Philosophy

Oct 25, 2025

45 min

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? If a team loses a game and it doesn't change anything, is it really a loss? We're venturing ever-so-slightly out of the shallow end of pool this week at the AMPU Studios. Join Paul, C, and E as they reflect on Ale's possible last start and captainship with the Union, recount the fun-to-say clash of Chu Chu v. Zaha, and discuss how this season's MLS Playoffs are just as MLS-y as previous ones.

S03E34 - Future Past (with Jillian and Kyle from The One Team We Agree On)

Oct 16, 2025

1hr 9 min

We're spanning space and time at the AMPU studio this week as we reflect back on the regular season while looking forward to what the playoffs may have in store. And what better way to help Paul, C, and E in their retrospection than to welcome back to the pod two of our favorite fellow Union fans and podcasters: Jillian and Kyle from The One Team We Agree On! Join the AMPU crew and TOTWAG as they reflect on the rocket ride that has been this past season, celebrate the young Union 2 players who've contributed to the team's success, evaluate the accomplishment between winning the Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup, and propose soccer as an equal to the other major league sports.

And we like our Kai Tai's shaken, not stirred.
