Whew, we're breathing a little easier this week at the AMPU studios. Everyone is back in good health and home from traveling, and most importantly, the Union finally get their first win of the season! (Much obliged, Montreal.) Join Paul, C, and E as they witness E enjoying a big slice of humble pie, celebrate Sery's birthday goal, revel in US Open Cup upsets, try to workshop sayings that don't end in natural disasters, and recommend a new anthemic song for the SoB's to incorporate into their repertoire.

'cause me heart is in Blue and Gold, I stick with what I know...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

There are match ups aplenty this week at the AMPU studios: DC United versus Philadelphia Union, Philadelphia Union versus Defense 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.

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.
