Atlanta United FC have a great performance vs Philadelphia Union at home 2-0. Travel to Montreal and get another three points winning 1-0.

Josh flies solo as he gets you updated on the end of the Transfer Window, Galaxy News, the return to the stadium of Angel City Brigade, and the game against Orlando City. He'll start with the addition of Mauricio Cuevas and tell you why he's another piece in the young player puzzle. Plus, could that mean the return of other former academy products? Then Josh will progress through the dates and times for the Leagues Cup games and the US Open Cup. Plus, tell you why he believes Seatle is as good as any game when it comes to hosting the Open Cup. There will also be talk about how the Galaxy are underperforming against some of their metrics and why that will need to change if there is any hope of a playoff spot. Finally, Josh will dive into the documents and the news surrounding Angel City Brigade's return to the stadium and why the LA Galaxy played this one almost perfectly. Can Humpty Dumpty be put back together again? And what to make of an Orlando team that seems more of a question mark than the Galaxy? Can Vanney find the right guys to fill in for Puig?

Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to discuss the bind that the Galaxy now find them in and try and hammer out several strategies the Galaxy could use to get what they want. But does Samuel Grandsir's departure mean Douglas Costa is staying? And can you trust Costa to be a 34-game player in 2023? Plus, why are the Galaxy eyeing 2024 while all of this is happening?
