Yeah we know it's actually the 2nd episode we've published this year, but we're still calling it Season 2, Episode 1 because its the first time we're talking about the new Timbers roster moves, upcoming CCL, potential fans in the stands with Covid, and why you should sacrifice a loved one so Jonathan can be served doughnut at Providence Park.

We'll discuss what the defender can bring to the club and why Giancarlo Gonzalez might have some issues. Hosts Josh Guesman and Larry Morgan get you through the glut of news that seeped from the Galaxy this week and get you clued in on where they might be heading for their next signing. Josh will start with his weekly kit update and tell you why an authentic kit should come with all the things the players wear. That includes the sponsor logo and an MLS patch. We'll let you know what the Galaxy are expected to do to fix the problems they've been having with patches and numbers! Then the guys breakdown the contract length of Derrick Williams and talk about how his signing is starting to indicate a trend for Dennis te Kloese and perhaps how Greg Vanney wants to run things. A team that relied so much on International players in 2019 and 2020 suddenly is doing the exact opposite. And did you want to know the Galaxy's preseason schedule? What if we told you it involved Landon Donovan, Bruce Arena, and a trip to Tucson, Arizona? We've got the news details for you that might have you trucking for the southwests deserts. But if you want to know who the Galaxy will face when the season opens up, then you've got some waiting to do. But that might include fans, so get those community kits ready! Finally, Josh and Larry discuss the Galaxy's pursuit of a French winger and why he could check many boxes off for the Galaxy in 2021 and beyond. Is he a diamond in the rough? Or is he just a French Giovani dos Santos? We'll discuss!

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy are back in preseason camp for the first time in 2021. And while the workouts may be voluntary, the club isn't treating it that way. On today's show, your hosts (Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter) take you through the first day of camp, through an exciting media conference call, and through a Galaxy signing that is on the cusp of being announced. The guys will start by talking about the first day of preseason training and why the word "voluntary" needs to come with quotation marks. How did the Galaxy fair in their first chance to run around and kick each other? And what did Greg Vanney see in his team for their first training session? Plus, the Galaxy want to add players. We'll tell you how many and why that matches-up with an earlier report we told you about. And the level of those players is higher than you think. We'll let Vanney tell you why he's got to make some TAM signings that will be good for the next five or more years. There's also some discussion on Jonathan dos Santos and his focus on his contract year and why he's shown some real dedication in the offseason. He even answered some questions in English, another sign he's focused on 2021. We'll explain. Finally, we bring you some CoG Breaking News as the Galaxy get ready to sign a 28-year-old defender who was born in Germany but plays his international soccer with Ireland. It's a packed show full of some great Galaxy-talk, and we're so glad you could join us! The season is just around the corner.

And they did it. And that should be celebrated enthusiastically and without qualifications. They had the nearly perfect jersey launch with the "Community Kit." And we're going to talk about all the good and just a little bit of bad. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou will break down the incredible insanity surrounding the Galaxy's most successful kit launch ever while also throwing in some other minor news-nuggets about your favorite team. Josh and Sophie will start with some of their general feelings about the optimism that is building up about actually getting back in the stadium for the 2021 season, while also doing their best to realize most of that is misplaced. Then they'll talk about the Galaxy players that will be embarking on their Olympic qualifying dreams as CONCACAF gets in on the U-23-style tournament for a chance at going to Japan this summer -- if there are Olympics this summer. Will Efrain Alvarez find himself in a tug-of-war between the United States and Mexico? Will that even matter? And why Julian Araujo seems like the best bet to get the job done for the United States. Plus, that conversation will morph into looking at some of the big-name players and why they'll be feeling the pressure in 2021! But the central portion of the show revolves around the events and happening of Wednesday's kit launch. There are some incredibly nerdy details that Josh focuses on, and Sophie asks when the Galaxy are going to sell those socks! See, the kit probably means different things to different people, but the launch, the videos, and the design itself took our mind off of a global pandemic for a couple of minutes, and that's a well-needed mental break. We've got a fun show with some good talking points and two hosts who were probably tipsy from all the water they drank! So come and join us! We're ready for you!

We discuss if Pulisic is better off moving to Bayern/Bundesliga and We talk to Tanner Tessmann about getting called up to USMNT quickly, choosing FC Dallas over Atlanta United because of youth development and his European plans.

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The sidelines of the LA Galaxy games are going to look different this year. And while you can't blame that all on the pandemic, the real change will come when Megan Reza isn't standing on the sidelines anymore. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter will cover most of the Galaxy news that leads up to the preseason camp officially starting. But they'll also get a chance to hear from Reza as she reminisces about what it meant to be on the sidelines for your television coverage and what things she'll take with her as she heads off in a new direction. Josh and Kevin will start by clarifying the ever-confusing new rule that revolves around players under the age of 22. That usually leads to a conversation about MLS and the LA Galaxy and how their opaqueness doesn't help things when explaining the complexities of the league. From there, the guys will discuss the new sleeve sponsorship with Honey and why the Galaxy will get two more seasons of some very great payouts. But come 2022, the gravy train might stop! Plus, Julian Araujo graced the front page of the LA Times today, and that's just the beginning for one of the Galaxy's most generous of players. Can Araujo match his freshman performance with an improvement in his sophomore season? Or will the pressure get to him? Finally, the guys give you an update on Cristian Pavon's legal issues in Argentina and why his lawyers are pressing back on many of the statements that the press has circulated. Are the Galaxy and Pavon in a better position going into what should be the closing negotiations for his playing talents? We've got a packed show that is ready for your listening attention!

We recorded on Tuesday instead of Monday. And for that, we're very sorry. But we've got a bunch to discuss, including why Greg Vanney is going after a defensive midfielder and not a central attacking midfielder. Forgive us while we connect the transfer rumor dots! Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss all your latest Galaxy news and pay particular focus to some MLS updates and the roster's continuing build-out. The guys will talk about the shift in the league's starting date and why that necessitates a push in the league transfer window. Plus, was MLS trying to help out teams that put some of their players on short-term loans? You better believe it! Plus, how well do you know the league's newest acquisition mechanism: the under 22 rule? Josh will explain the details while Kevin tries to tell you why it's a bad thing. But is this the next big thing in MLS? And are there some advantages to it? Could the Galaxy take advantage? Josh and Kevin continue with a discussion about Oniel Fisher (there's a good mispronunciation of his name in there) and why Carlos Harvey may not be the last acquisition of the week. Kevin will tell you about his conversations with Javier Hernandez (Chicharito), Greg Vanney, Jonathan dos Santos, and Dennis te Kloese and why Vanney thinks JDS could be the attacker the Galaxy need. Plus, that will lead us into rumors of a defensive midfielder, a slide for Sebastian Lletget, and an update on Cristian Pavon's status. Should the Galaxy even be chasing Pavon? Are the red flags too much to handle? And do the Galaxy, and Pavon get the benefit of the doubt until they don't? We've got a busy show for you, and we can't wait to share it. So let's get this midweek thing kicked off or something. We just never know what to do with our hands.

Today we are joined by MLS veteran Julius James. Julius was also a Trinidad & Tobago international and we talk about the current struggles of the program, even after knocking the USA out of a chance of going to the World Cup.
