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 to worry? Is it time to hope?

We're so relieved and grateful that you're ok, Jack.

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.
