A More Philly Union

While the AMPU crew is slightly behind with getting out this week's episode, the Union keep steamrolling right along in the Leagues Cup.  Paul flies solo this week as he recaps the Union's two recent and exciting wins, with Baribo racking up an unbelievable amount of goals and Blake defying the laws of physics to deny the other teams' goals.  With all this success in the Leagues Cup, it really seems like the Union have switched the sword to the right hand...

It seems like almost anything is possible these days as the Union extend their winning streak to three-in-a-row. But these apparent acts of will extend both on and off the pitch as Paul, C, and E discuss Martinez's bizarre yellow card, scratch their heads at the Sons of Ben's protest, and consider kickstarting a corn-based podcast.

Do what you wanna do.

Don't call it a comeback.  But with two very decisive wins in a row, it kind of feels like the lethal Union of previous seasons has returned to the field.  Join Paul, C, and E as they recap the 3-0 win against Nashville and discuss how both stalwart players and an attitude of fun seem to be charging the Union's return to form.  Also in this episode: yellow card round-up, Leagues Cup Schmeagues Cup, and Sergio Busquets does not care about skill challenges.

It's a special (albeit a little late) episode this week as the AMPU crew sit down in person (yay!) to discuss what Canadian child labor laws, Quinn Sullivan's screamer of a goal, and the breaking of the Union Yards curse all have in common.

And for those of you keeping score:

Between the Sons of Ben section, the Union's forwards scoring, and the AMPU crew's positive take on the Union's season so far, there's just deafening silence. Join Paul, C, and E this week as they try to keep the doom and gloom at bay while they workshop a nickname for Glesnes, consider a new District 9 podcast, and invent a new drink: the Kai-Tai.

Gracias, Carranza!

On this July 4th, the AMPU crew try to stay positive as Paul, C, and E discuss the imminent failure of the Turn-around Trifecta.  To help, we go to unexplored corners and invite friend and New York Red Bulls fan, Mark, to provide some perspective.  Desperate times call for good friends and sage advice.  #FIXIT

This week, the Union and the AMPU crew find themselves in the doldrums (if you're like E and don't know what the 'doldrums' are, it's worth a quick trip to Wikipedia) as the team adds another mark in the L-column and continues to plummet down the table.  And to further accentuate the listlessness, C and E are left to navigate this week's episode without Paul. But they do manage to find harbor as they discuss confirmation bias, regional barbeque traditions, and the fine line between enthusiasm and delusion.

Was that another orange Subaru...?

Things feel sisyphean at the AMPU studios this week as the Union go up against a "neat" Miami and churn out even more dismal results.  Meanwhile, Paul, C, and E try to keep things in perspective as Paul provides a rally cry to support the team, C reminds us that The Replacements have all the answers, and E rues the day Jordi Alba ever came to Subaru Park.

P.S. Fix it.

It's an off week for the Union but not for the AMPU crew as Paul, C, and E welcome We The Union creator, Gabe, to the pod!  In this episode, the gang delves into Gabe's impressive Instagram-based, Union news project as well as discuss the extended family that is the Union fan community.  Also, they consider the finer details of team rebuilding versus reloading, the Curse of the Union Yards, and the importance of plausible deniability.
