A More Philly Union
A weekly podcast where we swear to talk about the Philly Union, the whole Philly Union, and nothing but the Philly Union...mostly. With your hosts: Paul, C, and E
Episodes
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 imagine eight months ago. Also: Carnell embodies the Philly ethos, the Union players blaze new trails with the first MLS Gatorade dousi...
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 yet it did not come without a cost. Join Paul and E as they play down a woman (C's traveling this week) as they celebrate the embarrassmen...
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 last week and look ahead to the remaining few and critical games of the regular season. Will the Union manage to win the Supporters Shi...
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 C) as they discuss the "Mega-Loss", propose the JP Dellacamera Academy of Soccer Commentating, and introduce a new segment: the Crant.
...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 remaining 5 regular season games, and face off in Union Dome IV!
Indy...how could we have forgotten Indy?
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 through the transfer window.
Also, who HASN'T Kei Kamara played for?

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?

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 after the starting whistle. In the meantime, join Paul, C, and E as they explore Philadelphia's sister cities, shamelessly shill for Du...
We're celebrating returns this week at the AMPU studios: the return of the Kai-Tai, the return of Uhre back to scoring form, and the return to first place! Join Paul, C, and E as they celebrate Union firsts at the MLS All Star game, ponder how to cash in on Kickin' for Chickin', and illustrate how Bedoya is the Team Dad.
200 wins and counting!

There's an air of contentment at the AMPU studios this week as we reflect on the 4 out of 6 points the Union brought home from their recent visit to the lands of poutine and barbeque. Join Paul, C, and E as they praise Prince and Benny, weigh in on McGlynn's goal celebration, and wonder about the referees' arm day routine.
Sorry, all I can think about right now is poutine and barbeque...

Hello, Unionverse. Let's pretend E had good time management skills and wrote a humous description for this week's episode. And then we all would have a good laugh. Ah, that's better. Much appreciated.
As an apology gift: https://youtu.be/z5rRZdiu1UE
See you next week!
P.S. This episode was recorded before the Montreal game on Wednesday.

Like the Union's recent performance, along with the postponed US Open Cup game*, there's a feeling of listlessness hanging over the AMPU studios this week. Fight through the malaise with Paul, C, and E as they discuss the Kai Wagner Team Attitude Rating system, experience Trevor the Intern's first attempt at sketch writing, and ask the profound question: Is losing necessarily a bad thing?

We're back! After taking an unscheduled week off, the AMPU crew returns to the studio and is ready to catch up on all the soccer! But something seems...different. Did Bedoya play in the midfield once? Has the Union never won the Open Cup? Wasn't the USMNT in shambles a month ago? Is Trevor the Intern actually an AI?
Paul, C, and E get to the bottom of things as they celebrate the selection of Baribo and Glesnes to the MLS All...
ANDERSON! The AMPU studio is still coming down from the at-the-death drama that was the Union v. Charlotte game on Saturday! Join Paul, C, and E as they celebrate the comeback story that is Markus Anderson, introduce the Ted Lasso/Replacements/William Carlos Williams Venn diagram, and dive deep into workshopping a new team song and revealing a new secret weapon: the Mummers. Also, did Paul join a cult?
Like a proper June dessert, we're keeping it short and sweet this week at the AMPU Studios. With Paul out on the road, C and E do their best duet as they grade the Union on the first half of their season, ponder the Kai-Tai equivalent for Damiani, and incorporate Wheel of Fortune into game predictions.
Thanks again to Jillian and Kyle at The One Team We Agree On!

Tired bodies and minds are given a much-needed reprieve after the marathon that was May, both for the Union and the AMPU crew. With the final game of the month concluded - Union v. FC Dallas - Paul, C, and E discuss the translatability of the Philadelphia-Dallas rivalry to soccer, exercise caution in their growing optimism for the Carnell Experiment, and introduce the newest Union-based trivia game: Kai, Tai, or Nigh. Take a load ...
The long haul that is May is nearing its conclusion. The Union go up against Inter Miami and Toronto FC. Join Paul, C, and E as they celebrate Baribo's brace, discuss the transactional nature of Miami/Messi fans, and introduce the Kai-no-Tai.

The relentless pace of games continues this week, both for the Union as well as a partially-staffed AMPU crew. Join Paul, C, and E as they explore the USOC-Yellowstone Venn diagram, workshop a new goal kick chant, and propose an international soccer business opportunity for Russell Crowe.
Our vote: Gooooooooooooooooo Union!
