Time and Space collide, giving the AMPU crew some new challenges in getting this week's episode made and posted.  But, as the old adage goes: the sooner we get behind, the sooner we can get caught up.

Also, the Union played two games this week, milestones are celebrated, and we get a little vocabulary lesson.

It's a good thing that the Union didn't have any games this past week.  First, the Boys in Blue got some extra time to rest up.  But second, the AMPU crew got extra room in the episode to cover additional topics like the international break, Gold Cup, new roster lineups, the transfer window, sensible legislation in DC, and Jim Curtin trivia.

There's a little of column A and a little of column B in this week's episode!

The Union take their 9-game undefeated streak on the road as the Boys in Blue head west to face the San Jose Earthquakes.  Meanwhile, the AMPU gang discuss Wrexham, conspiracies in Florida, and NOT the Leagues Cup.  And of course they talked about the big news about a particular world-class player making a particular big move: Ale Bedoya's Jim Curtin impression.

From defense, to scoring, to standings in the table, the Union demonstrate that good things come in three's as they welcome CF Montréal to Philly.  Meanwhile, Nate joins Paul, C, and E as they tackle the "head versus heart" conundrum that is weighing the merits of Concacaf Champions League and the US Open Cup.  Also, the AMPU Crew consider employing Bingo cards and celebrate a newly minted American.

Time and Space are put to the test this week as the Union travel to NYC to play soccer in the geometry of a baseball stadium and then return home to host Charlotte FC where Blake bends gravity to his will.  Meanwhile, the AMPU crew experiences the closest thing to Time Dilation as it was May when they began recording this episode and it was June when they wrapped up.  Special guest host, Nate, delivers a timely message on unbiased reporting, and Jason Kelce makes a brief appearance (sort of).

This little maneuver is going to cost us 56 minutes!

It's a welcome respite for the AMPU crew as they only have one game to recap this week: the Union v. the Revolution.  But that doesn't keep them for going on for almost an hour in this week's episode as they discuss the Union's up-and-coming players, defective socks, and past political faux pas.

Maybe it was the over 5000 feet of elevation change between Colorado's Dick's Sporting Goods Park and Philadelphia's Subaru Park that contributed to the chaos and excitement of this week's games?  Maybe it was poor time management skills that caused the late posting of this week's episode?  Whatever it was, the gang dives into the melee that was the Rapids-Union game and extol the thankless job of the referee after witnessing the Union-DC United match.  There's a deep MLS cut featuring Danny Cepero and Shep Messing, an all-too-expected Ted Lasso reference, as well as a surprise nod to Community.  And like a good Law and Order episode, this week's episode runs just under an hour and features a special guest: Nate!

The Union continue their homeric trek across North America, traveling to the Mt. Doom that is Red Bull Arena to face off against rivals NYRB.  After passing through the fire and ash of New Jersey, the Boys in Blue venture on to the Land of 10,000 Lakes where they battle the Loons of Minnesota in their quest for the Cup of US Open-ness.  Appropriately, the gang discusses the coronation of kings as well as give their episode download charity challenge a noble name.

It's a particularly epic episode this week as we wonder: will the crownless become king?

It's an all-too-familiar story line as the Union revisit LA and try to exorcise the all-too-recent past.  NYRB and the US Open Cup tournament await the road-weary Boys in Blue.  And the gang salvages as much good as they can while they discuss the Triangle of Death and celebrate the pod going international!  Also, a very special guest appearance by Nathan!

The Union welcome Toronto FC to a soaked Subaru Park with the dark clouds of an LAFC rematch looming on the western horizon.  Meanwhile, the gang celebrates a milestone with their first subscriber incentive challenge, and waxes nostalgic with references to Weezer, the Warriors, 8-bit video games and the coolest Decepticons.

There's more than meets the eye in this episode!
