S04E36 - Final Approach
Ladies and gentlemen, Season 2.0 has notified us that we’ve begun our descent into the conclusion of the regular season. Please return to your seat and fasten your seat belt, stow your tray table, and make sure your seat back is in its upright position. Join Paul, C, and E this week as they prepare to de-board Season 2.0 as Paul provides good playoffs strategies, E tries to make a convincing argument that two losses are better than one, and C develops a sports-karma business idea. Always: O Captain! My Captain!

S04E35 - Hold On Loosely
It's finally happened: the first spot of tarnish has appeared on Season 2.0. But at the AMPU studios, we kind of prefer the weathered look. This week, join The Two Idiots - Paul and E - as they argue that maybe the New England loss will actually serve the Union better as they make their final push for and into the playoffs, and that the big matchup against Nashville tomorrow night could be an opportunity for Richter and the Boys in Blue to make a statement. Three games remain and this ride is getting wild, but don't let go... ...if you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control.

S04E34 - Truth or Consequences
Things get a little penitent at the AMPU studios as it becomes clear that E is to blame for the Union's 2-2 draw against Charlotte FC. Join Paul, C, and a properly chastised E as they express concern for Damiani's rough treatment on the field, urge the Union to tighten up the defense for the final push of the regular season, and celebrate Cavan's, Neil's, and Frankie's induction into MLS's 22 under 22.

S04E33 - It's Hard to Be Humble
We're focusing on self-control and level-headedness at the AMPU studios this week as we try to keep a proper perspective in light of the Union's statistically unbelievable 14-game streak. Join Paul, C, and E as they explore the simultaneity of the rise of the Union and the rise of Damiani, critique Cavan's gameday fit, and propose a new player stat category: the spiritual assist. We're doing the best that we can.

S04E32 - The Seed (2.0)
New ground is broken at the AMPU studios this week as Paul, C, and E wisely cede the mic to our first guest host and OG friend of the pod, Nate! Join the expanded AMPU crew as they try to crack the code of the Union's Season 2.0, explore why Mark McKenzie's move back to Philly is an even bigger deal, and reflect on the question, "Where were you when Cavan scored?"

12 games. 10 wins. 2 draws. 0 losses. At the AMPU studios, gobs are truly smacked by the Union's unwavering momentum as the Boys in Blue continue their meteoric ascent up the table. Join Paul, C, and E as they revel in Indy's masterclass performance, commemorate a new club record, and celebrate the return of Mark McKenzie (in 2027). With only seven regular season games remaining, hope is truly alive. Play brave.

S04E30 - These Go to Eleven
The performance streak the Union are currently flying on would almost be farcical if it wasn't so badly needed (and just so awesome). And fortunately at the AMPU studios there haven't been any undersized stage props or self-combusting drummers. Join Paul, C, and E this week as they further illustrate the powerful second-half-nature of the Union, marvel at Quinn's sublime backyard moves, and continue to ponder the forces behind the Union's epic Season 2.0 Next stop: The One Team We Agree On!

S04E29 - The Shawshank Redemption
The Union's amazing form continues to reverberate around the AMPU studios like a Morgan Freeman voiceover and the AMPU crew wonders and hopes how far the Boys in Blue can still go this season. Join Paul and E (and later, C) as they marvel at the new Sullivan-Damiani-Damiani-Sullivan partnership, ponder the early nomadic lifestyle of the Westfield family, and highlight the similarities between Richter's coaching style and Project Runway. "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."

S04E28 - Quantum Leap
The Union's rocketing success rate continues unabated and the AMPU crew is wondering if, in fact, we've crossed into a parallel universe where the Union are an unstoppable force. Join Paul, C, and E this week as they praise Danley's continued excellence on the field, revel in the backyard soccer antics of the Sullivan brothers, and celebrate the cathartic torrent of Damiani goals. Like all Union fans, to paraphrase from the great 80's TV show, we find ourselves leaping from game to game, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that our next win will be the win home.

S04E27 - A New Hope
The turnaround continues this week, both for the Union and the atmosphere at the AMPU studios. Join Paul, C, and E as they praise NYRB for their gracious hosting, consider how Cavan Sullivan is neither Freddy Adu nor Jamie Tart, and employ cricket statistics to analyze the trajectory of the Union's remaining season. Also, C wins the movie reference game with both a LOTR and a Star Wars reference. Always shoot first.

S04E26 - It's the Hope That Kills You
Six undefeated games into Season 2.0 and things get surprisingly somber this week at the AMPU studios. Join Paul, C, and E as they take encouragement from the ever-improving Union defense, take stock of the team's fleeting time with Cavan, and take an unflinching look at the cold hard truth of the Union's remaining season. Then C gives an Oscar-worthy rallying speech to provide the perspective we all need.

We strictly adhere to the First Rule this week as the entire crew returns to the AMPU studios after some end-of-the-summer-galivanting. Join a well-rested Paul, C, and E as they jump on the rollercoaster that was the past five games as they admit their okay-ness with the Union's bow out of Leagues Cup, celebrate Damiani's goal scoring catharsis, and cheer on the fully Philly melee that was the Miami game. And that retro jersey: sublime.

S04E24 - Three Is a Magic Number
The number three is unmistakably omnipresent this week at the AMPU studios: 1) The Union score three goals in their match against Atlanta United, 2) The Union win their third game in a row, and 3) Paul is back and the AMPU crew returns in full tri-fold force! Join Paul, C, and E as they disapprove of Atlanta's on-field character (and Hoyos's haircut), celebrate Alladoh's first MLS goal, worry about Damiani's Dark Night of the Soul, and congratulate the power trio of Wagner, Pierre, and Iloski.

S04E23 - Back to Basics
After two consecutive wins, we're keeping our steps baby-sized around the AMPU studios. C and E fly duo again this week as they try to answer the pressing questions: Is this momentum the Union seem to have real? Are Atlanta having their own Season 2.0? Is Damiani the Union's Severus Snape? Keep it cool, Philly.

S04E22 - "That's More Like It"
Season 2.0 is officially underway for the Union while it's more Summer 2.0 at the AMPU studios, as episodes are being posted behind schedule. But with the conclusion of many summer sporting events and the reset of the Union's season, the AMPU studios is getting back on schedule...very soon! But in the meantime, join C and E from last Thursday as the flew "duo", as they give their final thoughts on the final matches of the World Cup, celebrate the game-changing returns of Kai and Quinn, welcome the staggering potential of Neil Pierre, and attempt to keep their surging optimism for the second half of the season in check.

S04E21 - The Return of the Kai
To borrow from Gandalf the Grey: "A podcast is never late, nor is it early, it arrives precisely when it means to." Well, maybe it's a little late. All this World Cup excitement (and other summer fun) has put the AMPU studios behind schedule. But fortunately the AMPU crew has a motto: the sooner we get behind, the sooner we can get caught up. Join Paul, C, and E this week (well, last week, really) as they discuss the pending conclusion of this truly remarkable World Cup and the even greater result that no Union fan saw coming: the return of Kai Wagner.

S04E20 - What a Wonderful World
It's hard to believe that it's only been 28 days since the start of the World Cup. And yet at the same time, it feels like there's been nothing else in life other than this World Cup. All we know here at the AMPU studios is that we can't get enough and we don't want it to end. Join Paul, C, and E this week as they look to the Union's Season 2.0, marvel at the Churchillian defense England mustered against Mexico, and reveal that E was the actual cause of the US getting knocked out of the World Cup. May we all aspire, in our own way, to be like Cabo Verde: Small but mighty.

Join Paul, C, and E as they discuss the Union Reset, Paul's experience as a FIFA volunteer at matches, the benefits of the longest rain delay in World Cup history, and that we're going to have to "trust the process" if we're going to "take Pochettino home... ....to the place, where [we] belong."

S04E18 - You Can't Always Get What You Want
With a few noteworthy exceptions, all's quiet on the Union front. But with national teams from all over the world converging on our North American home, two-thirds of the AMPU crew return to the studios to revel in the flawed but glorious spectacle that is the World Cup. Without the sage guidance of Paul this week, C and E make a valiant go of things as they wish Mbaizo a sunnier future, celebrate Union announcer, Kevin Casey, living a World Cup dream, and dare to hope in a USMNT that could surprise the world. May this World Cup unite us all. Sometimes, you get want you need.

S04E17 - Sliding Doors
It's a bit of down time at the AMPU studios this week, so we're allowing ourselves a little leeway in our topics of conversation. Join Paul, C, and E as they wonder: What could have been if the Union had taken other paths? If Bedoya ran for public office? If Indy went into acting? If Gritty was actually a secret weapon? Ah, the world may never know. When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
