Episodes

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…

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...
-
S04E31 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
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…
more -
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...
-
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,...
-
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...
-
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…
more -
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…
more -
S04E25 - Fight Club
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…
more -
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…
more -
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…
more -
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…
more -
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…
more -
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...
-
S04E19 - E Pluribus Unum
Country Roads and La Marseillaise have been on heavy rotation this week at the AMPU Studios as the World Cup good vibes continue to reverberate around the country. 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…
more -
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...
-
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...
-
S04E16 - Change, Change, Change
Things get a little philosophical at the AMPU studios this week as we come to grips with what was all but inevitable. Join Paul, C, and E as they weigh in on one of the most record setting games for the Union that resulted in an Iloski hattrick, an actual Damiani goal, and still a loss for the...
-
S04E15 - Ties, Damned Ties, and Statistics
Things are getting repetitive around the AMPU studios this week. Once again, the Union lose/draw another game and the AMPU crew try to come up with something original to say about the Groundhog Day time loop we seem to be trapped in. Join Paul, C, and E this week as they ask the profound…
more -
S04E14 - Alea Iacta Est
There's no sugar-coating the Union's performance at the AMPU studios this week: Injuries, mistakes, PK's, ridiculous Apple win probabilities. It's bad. It's real bad. Join Paul, C, and E as they celebrate firsts for Bender and Cavan, lamentably start the countdown clock on Carnell's tenure, and...
-
S04E13 - Good Eats
Food discussions abound at the AMPU studios this week. Join Paul, C, and E as they discuss the delicious tidbits from the most recent game against Nashville, from Sery's early game injury, to Iloski's many attempts for a goal, to the goal post keeping Nashville in the game. Also, Damiani was…
more -
S04E12 - This Too Shall Pass
Gritty and the Flyers provide some comfort this week around the AMPU studios, but it's not enough to keep the gloom at bay. Join Paul, C, and E as they try to recover from the Columbus game by reaffirming Blake's bona fides, echo Carnell's call to 'trust the plan', and in a moment of tough-love…
more -
S04E11 - Where Is My Mind?
It's hard to describe the vibe in the AMPU studios these days. The Union aren't losing, so that's good, right? But with the 0-0 draw against DC United that felt like a win, and the 3-3 draw against Toronto FC that felt like a loss, we're having a hard time figuring out if we're even moving in the...
-
S04E10 - We're All Fine Here Now
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...
-
S04E09 - It Can't Rain All The Time
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...
-
S04E08 - Hope Dies Fast
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...
-
S04E07 - Time to Pretend
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…
more -
S04E06 - Turn the Beat Around
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. Like, share, and find us here: Website: www.amorephillyunion.com Email:...
-
S04E05 - Persian Rug Making
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.…
more -
S04E04 - Christy and Two Idiots
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...
-
S04E03 - Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler
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…
more -
S04E02 - Help Wanted
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!…
more -
S04E01 - Opening Ceremony
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...
-
S03E42 - Season's Finale-ing
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…
more -
S03E41 - Thank You for Being a Friend
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...
-
S03E40 - Be a Goldfish
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...
-
S03E39 - Return of the Mack
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...
-
S03E38 - Rock Fingers
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…
more -
S03E37 - Brevity is the Soul of Winning
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…
more -
S03E36 - Trick or Treat
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...
-
S03E35 - Philosophy
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…
more -
S03E34 - Future Past (with Jillian and Kyle from The One Team We Agree On)
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...
-
S03E33 - Five Years
Five years later and the Philadelphia Union earn their second Supporters' Shield. And even though this technically isn't new territory, this victory feels somehow more special, more monumental. Join Paul, C, and E as they revel in a season of accomplishments that, like Ale Bedoya, they couldn't...
-
S03E32 - A Faustian Bargain
The past few weeks have been an exercise in extremes. From the humiliating lows of the 7-0 loss in Vancouver to euphoric heights of the 0-6 shellacking of DC United, it almost feels like accounts have been settled and we're back in a familiar Supporter Shield-leading, MLS Cup-hoping place. And…
more -
S03E31 - Unfiltered
It's a bit behind-the-scenes at the AMPU studios as the crew rushes to get this week's episode posted. And what happens when we're in a time crunch? That's right - no edits! Join Paul, C, and E as they perform without the safety net of the editing room as they discuss the Union's redemptive win...
-
S03E30 - Bitter Sweet Symphony
The Union suffer their single largest lopsided loss ever. The Union get knocked out of USOC. Two separate players in two separate games score hattricks on the Union. Things seem to be coming undone faster than we can cancel our Paramount+ subscription. Join Paul and E (with a quick appearance by…
more -
S03E29 - Pumpkin Spice Season
There's a crisp coolness in the air, leaves are just starting to turn color, and the Union are about to commence with their final push for the season. Cozy up with Paul, C, and E as they enjoy a little downtime this week, weigh strategies for the Union's drive for the US Open Cup, size up the...
-
S03E28 - The Three R's
We're back! The AMPU crew returns to the studio in full force this week, rested, relaxed, and ready to tackle the Union-Cincinnati game. Join Paul, C, and E as they marvel at the progress of Andrew Rick, happily recalculate Damiani's dollars/goal quotient, and breathe easier after making it…
more -
S03E27 - How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Like any summer-time school assignment, we're waiting until the last minute! It's frantic back-to-school mode at the AMPU studios as C and E scramble to record and release this week's episode! There's a lot of catching up with very little time to get it done! Five more minutes, please? Like…
more -
S03E26 - Vacation
Vacation time is upon us here at the AMPU studios! In order to squeeze in as much fun-in-the-sun in the remaining summertime, the AMPU crew put together this week's episode before taking a much-needed break. But don't fret, Unionverse. We'll be back quicker than Ale Bedoya can get a yellow card...
