Emergency Podcast! (An Austin FC Podcast)

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. 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West celebrate curling, discuss Myrto Uzuni's reported near-move to Turkey, express some differences about Austin FC's 1-0 loss to St. Louis City SC in the team's 2026 Coachella Valley Invitational opener, wonder about Joseph Rosales at left wing, reason that you can't have mutiny if your entire crew is captains, ponder James as a Minnesota United player, look ahead to Austin's upcoming preseason matches against Chicago and SKC, and briefly muse on the new jerseys officially dropping on Tuesday morning. 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West say goodbye to a beloved colleague who helped us understand Guilherme Biro a little bit better, discuss the 2-0 preseason match loss to NYCFC and Jorge Alastuey's main character role in the match, relay the most intriguing parts of the post-match press conference (including where Joseph Rosales and Facundo Torres might play), and look ahead to Coachella and the season opener. 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss their sleet-pocalypse prepping, the Facundo Torres signing going official and what that means for Austin FC, what we might learn from what little we got about Verde's first preseason match of 2026, why you should think of 2026 as two seasons in one, and what it means for Verde All Day that FBref won't be operating in the way it was. 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss the new Austin FC kit leak on what appears to be a white kit with faint green vertical stripes and black shoulder stripes and a Yeti logo interfering with that. They muse on when and where it will initially roll out and whether it will appear in the big April 4 match with Miami, or if Austin will opt for the Heartbeat Kit to Miami's pink to get "the full Elphaba vs. Glinda Wicked action."  They also discussed the Facundo Torres rumor that is currently exciting (but also maybe confounding) the Verde fan base, including glimpses at some recent Verde All Day analysis and consideration of the "good problem to have" that Nico Estévez could be facing.  They also talk about Owen Wolff's recent sports hernia surgery, the role that Jorge Alastuey might have on the first team in 2026 and beyond, and Phil might have promised to drive Girl Scout cookies to you if you buy them from his daughter (and you live in Austin).
