It's under the lights at Dignity Health Sports Park, which means we're expecting fireworks! Your host Josh Guesman is joined by special co-host Spectrum SportsNet Galaxy sideline reporter Nikki Kay. Nikki makes her way back to the podcast in hosting duties for the second time and the first time in 2022. Josh and Nikki want to get you through the big takeaways from this week in Galaxy news. And they're going to start with the win in the US Open Cup. The San Diego Loyal put together a good showing against a Galaxy team that saw a couple of regulars in the mostly B-Team lineup. But Greg Vanney might have some explaining to do when Chicharito made an appearance deep into the second half. Are you okay with Vanney taking the Open Cup very seriously? And do you worry about the legs of certain players after the midweek tussle with Landon Donovan's side? Nikki will also update you on the Galaxy's media availability from today. And both Josh and Nikki will tell you what to expect from the Open Cup's next round and where the Galaxy will be off to (Irvine). Finally, your hosts will get you ready for the invasion from Nashville. Why is Dave Romney a threat to his old team? Why is Nashville more balanced than they've ever been? And why could the Galaxy exploit some speed and some shotty set-piece defending? We've got a bunch to cover on today's show. And we're delighted Nikki could join us. But we're ecstatic that you chose us to get you ready for this weekend.

No one should talk you out of that analysis. And if they do talk you out of it, have their sight checked. But you also can't simply dismiss what was a gutsy performance, played in challenging conditions, against a team that wanted to play anti-soccer more than score goals. So does that make you feel any better? Probably not. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 0-0 draw with the Fire and discuss what this does for momentum and what it means in the long term. Are the Galaxy capable of being that no. 1 team? Or are they shrinking from every challenge at the top? Josh and Kevin both have very different views of what happened at Soldier Field, and the majority of this podcast will be them arguing about that. It's fun! But the guys are also talking about their live event on Saturday, the news that Michael Stephens is returning to the club as a Director of Scouting, and they're discussing the Galaxy's new local TV deal. Plus, there's a little focus on Landon Donovan's return to Los Angeles when his San Diego Loyal take on the Galaxy in their Open Cup match on Tuesday night. Is all the press on LA? Finally, the guys are cleaning up all the loose ends on Galaxy news and getting you pointed in the direction of Nashville on Saturday night. Can the Galaxy return to their winning ways against another solidly defensive team? We've got a great show all lined up for you. We hope you enjoy it.
