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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Union. And of course it was the final straw that broke the camel's back for Bradley Carnell's time as manager. The only true wisdom is in knowing we know nothing.

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 questions: Have we've witnessed Carnell's last home game for the Union? Is the 50/50 raffle an accurate fan support metric? What is the worst haircut in MLS? And in honor of Stephen Colbert (and to shamelessly steal his IP), Paul and C take the AMPU Questionnaire. Congratulations, you Gooners!

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.

Also, Damiani was there. Wouldn't Wawa look great on a Union jersey? Two words: snake sauce.

And finally, the AMPU crew offers a way out of this slump: the Union shouldn't focus on being as good as they can be, they should focus on being as Philly as they can be. Have you seen him?

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 right direction. Join Paul, C, and E this week as they cheer on Iloski, wonder if Damiani will ever score, take joy in Danley's goal celebration, and compare the Union's on-field performance to a soft-boiled egg.
