Emergency Podcast! (An Austin FC Podcast)

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West talk about the trek Austin FC fans are making to Miami — a trek that Phil is also making — and what they might expect when they get there, given that construction for Saturday's Nu Stadium opening is coming right down to the wire. They also discuss the state of Oleksandr Svatok's Ukraine and Myrto Uzuni's Albania in World Cup qualifying (both sad), laugh a little at Italy, preview the actual matchup between Inter Miami and Austin FC, and then get into Verde's upcoming matchup against Louisville City and how the rest of the bracket leading to the U.S. Open Cup final looks.

In this special Emergency Tangent, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West take advantage of the international break and the recent release of the United States' 2026 World Cup jerseys to talk about their favorite (and less than favorite) jerseys through history. Along the way, they reveal their design aesthetic and then just offer up some jersey ideas that future U.S. kit designers can just have.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West talk about this week's Open Cup weirdness, including a 14-year-old scoring on an MLS Next Pro team and a weird ending to the Sacramento Republic-El Farolito match (Mission Local has an arresting account) in which the in-stadium DJ tried to play peacemaker with, among other things, a Frankie Goes to Hollywood classic. They then delve into the first match of 2026 against a yet-to-be-scored LAFC, Verde's less-than-spectacular offensive numbers after four matches, and contemplate the possibility of a Svatok vs. Uzuni match to decide which European team goes to the World Cup.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss Diego Fagúndez's welcome video joining the Revs, the upcoming match against RSL, the disaster that was the match against Charlotte FC (and some concerns about MLS refereeing), as well as the manifesting narratives early into the 2026 season (including how Nico Estévez is like a guy trying to get a shower at just the right temperature), how Austin FC is being buffeted by the Gulf of Mexico (metaphorically, of course), and where you might watch the match if you like people, fun, and green chile queso, a movie you should see if you like 'Merica, and other artistic recommendations to round out the week.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss the upcoming match against Charlotte FC, the pending USL players' strike and guesses as to what the strike might lead to, the goals added differential metric and what it tells us about Austin FC two matches in, delicious details from Rodolfo Borrell himself about getting Christian Ramírez off waivers, and a temperature check on how the two of them feel about the 2026 season 1/17 of the way complete, with Phil doing this entirely from his childhood bedroom in suburban Seattle.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss the new local beer celebrating the Year of the Fire Horse, recap the Christian Ramírez signing and analyze what that means for Austin FC and some specific players on the team, explore MLS' apparent decision to have Canadian players count as domestic players, preview the Sunday afternoon match against D.C. United, get into the start of the VerDos season, and fret openly about the pending USL players' strike.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss how Phil's daughter was like Brad Stuver playing goalkeeper in a goal way too big for her, get into Verde Week festivities and tifo talk, before moving into specifics about the first Austin FC match of 2026, including how good Facundo Torres and Jayden Nelson looked, why Guilherme Biro and Besard Šabović didn't play, which body part Myrto Uzuni scored with, and what it means that multiple players were upset by a 2-2 draw.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss the 12 seasons of Texas and Austin's new K-Pop store inside an H-E-B plus, ruminate on Verde's last preseason match against Sporting Kansas City at Coachella, muse on the beginning of the season and float some observations about Minnesota United, then segue to an interview with John Muller about the Futi app, discussing how certain advanced stats help us understand more about Austin FC. They then round out the episode with some revelations about Verde Week, the opening day tifo, and some Verde All Day updates.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss giving up and going to Popeyes as a lead-in to discussing the annual food and beverage unveiling at Q2 Stadium that Moisés got to attend, including food items that will debut in the concourse this season. They also discuss the new Rooted Kit (not to be confused with the New York Red Bulls' new Rooted Kit), which might be better in person than what you've seen in photos, in part because of its "luxurious" feel. They then discuss why Austin FC II doesn't have kits for sale, and close with some musing on the upcoming Valentine's Day preseason match against Sporting Kansas City.
