We're on a roll! (The Timbers, not our podcast.) The gang stumbles through the last tow games of our unbeaten in 5 streak. Shinyashiki, Abubakar. Say it with us, it's fun! Jonathan's health issues move from his backside to his front side, as he goes the extra mile to review US vs. UK health systems for the fans. What fans? We're not sure.

After a "pedestrian" performance against San Jose, can the Galaxy put their rivals on the ropes in their own stadium? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira want to get you ready for a critical game against LAFC, but they also want to get you updated on a lot of Galaxy news and the All-Star Game festivities. The guys will start with a quick recap of what made the All-Star Game fun and what needed to be improved. And because the Galaxy had two players in the game, they'll also talk about how Julian Araujo and Sebastian Lletget did in the second half of MLS's win over Liga MX. Do the viewership numbers tell the story? And why did a bad field steal some of the thunder from an otherwise very entertaining game? Josh and Eric will also discuss the National Team call-ups the Galaxy might have to endure and tell you why Julian Araujo is still in limbo when it comes to his international future. What's best for the Galaxy and Araujo? And you all know it wouldn't be a podcast if Josh didn't break out some charts and talk to you about the Galaxy's upcoming schedule. How difficult is the closing road for the club? And why should you be optimistic about where the numbers say the Galaxy should finish? Finally, there's a good look at two struggling rivals that will let it all be decided on Saturday. Will this El Trafico be different than others? And what do two dads have to say about traveling to hostile territory? We've got a great show for you today, and we're glad that you trusted us to get you ready for a big one! Thanks for watching and listening!

But August is a long month, so any home game the club plays will need to win if they want to position themselves for a race to the finish. The Galaxy are nearing the midway point of the season. Are you ready for what this next month brings? Hosts Josh Guesman and, filling in for Kevin Baxter, Larry Morgan discuss the news over the weekend, and what a busy Monday means for the Galaxy front office. Josh and Larry will start by going over some of the live show highlights and maybe some of the information that was deposited during that wacky 90 minutes. And if you have listened, you should probably give it a shot. But the guys also want to take a big picture approach to the 4-1 win over Portland. And Josh certainly intends to shine a light on how the Galaxy won that game; by growing into it. There are also players to talk about and why Kevin Cabral had his most significant jump forward in a Galaxy uniform on Friday night. Is he ready for more? Josh and Larry will also talk about the players returning from Gold Cup and why Jonathan dos Santos was expected back in LA today but found himself in Mexico City instead. Will that change some of what Greg Vanney told us in our wide-ranging media call today? Plus, you'll get to hear from Vanney and goalkeeper Jonathan Bond, as both had some fascinating insight into what this group is trying to accomplish on Wednesday and beyond. Finally, Josh and Larry will get you updated on Dejan Joveljić and why he's in Los Angeles as you listen to this show (assuming you're listening on Monday or Tuesday) and what the Galaxy can expect from a good, but not great, Real Salt Lake. There are many points up for grabs for the Galaxy this month, and if they want to stay where they're at, they better win most of them!

The guys will start with the news that dos Santos Brothers lost their father on Thursday. The famous Zizinho passed away, leaving the very close family without their patriarch. And on the day his Dad passed away, Jonathan dos Santos started for the Mexican National Team to win over Canada (the game ended 30 seconds after our show). Josh and Eric will also update you on Sebastian Lletget's performance with the USMNT and why the Galaxy are hoping to capture some of the gamesmanship Lletget highlights while on international duty. Could Rayan Raveloson free up Lletget to be a more dynamic playmaker? The guys will then talk about season ticker renewals and why the Galaxy will always increase prices even if they haven't hosted a playoff game since 2016. Then there's another good update on the Dejan Jovelić transfer and why you should probably expect it to get done. And do the rumors of Pipo Gonzalez going to Alajualense make sense? Yes, they do! Finally, the guys are getting you ready for a challenging game against the Portland Timbers. Can the Galaxy get back on track without Chicharito? Does Sega Coulibaly find the field in this game? And who scores the goals for the club if it's not going to be Charito -- it feels like we've been asking that question a lot. We've got a packed show that is waiting for your input, your listening, and your reaction! Plus, will we see you on Saturday night at Taps? Come have an adult beverage with us!

In #AskAlexi, fans ask about PK follow-up rules, life in the corporate world as an athlete, and one fan still thinks broadcasts are using fake noise crowd. (1:05:13).

But it is certainly one they should be able to handle. That's even when you take five players off the roster with their participation in the Gold Cup. Our goal is to get you ready for the Galaxy's longest road trip of the season on today's podcast. It's a road trip that will see the Galaxy take on two of the worst teams in Major League Soccer but play three games in eight days -- with two of those games being played at altitude. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are well versed in Galaxy news and all the injury and availability updates you'll need before turning on the TV this Saturday! The guys will start with going over Efrain Alvarez's contract extension and why the Galaxy will use the U-22 rules to their fullest advantage. But what exactly does that mean for Alvarez and Julian Araujo in salary and salary cap? We'll explain. Josh and Eric will also talk about the All-Star Game as well and why you shouldn't vote for Galaxy players, but if you do, these are the guys who are probably already going, so you won't be hurting anything! Then it's an update on where Galaxy players stand in their Gold Cup appearances in a segment that will no be called Gold CupDates. Because why not?

Is that how we can sum up this weekend's win over the visiting New York Red Bulls? There's more to it, though. So much more. Let's have a chat. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter get you through an eventful Sunday afternoon with just under 7,000 of our closest friends. We're discussing the Galaxy's win, Chicharito's hat trick, and how good it felt to be back in a stadium with fans making noise. But what can we take away from a team that hasn't always been stellar but has found a way to score goals and win games? Are the Galaxy getting lucky, or is this hard work paying off? And just how much Kool-Aid are you drinking (hint: all of it). Josh and Kevin will talk about the players who had good games and why the MLS Player of the Week probably wasn't the guy that got named. And how a couple of guys that we thought would be warming the bench are probably going to start a lot of games. The guys will also predict the future compared to the last two games they watched and why the Galaxy are about to run into two very good tests. Can they get even more points from their next two opponents? Finally, Josh and Kevin are updating you on Galaxy news, telling you where Kevin Cabral is and giving you the details on why the Galaxy aren't exactly sure when they're leaving for the match against Seattle.

The guys will start with a super-secret scrimmage and end with an impromptu dramatic intro! And in between, they'll have tons of Galaxy information so that you can impress your friends! First, the guys will talk about why the Galaxy, and some of the teams they've been playing, are having some secret meetings. And what can we make of a draw with LAFC that was super tight-lipped until Chicharito spilled the beans? Then it's off to international duty, where we'll give you game updates on Julian Araujo and Sebastian Lletget and get you prepped for Jonathan dos Santos and Efrain Alvarez's 2021 debut's for Mexico. The bottom line with all of the players is that they're getting competitive matches, and that's a good thing for the Galaxy. But the most considerable section of this show is dedicated to looking at the 2021 schedule and taking a different approach than most. We'll look at what part of the schedule ar most challenging based on days-between-games and talk about body clocks and short-rest games. We don't have to spell it out for you. You'll quickly see why these 34 games are some of the toughest for the Galaxy. Finally, Josh and Eric give you updates on Cristian Pavon and talk about two rumors from Europe that have some legs but don't necessarily mean anything is imminent.

In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, the guys take a deep dive for the 2nd time, and no we still have not become an ocean podcast, if that's even a thing.

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!

But we weren't expecting anything so soon. We're just expecting them to take their time, check off the interviews they already have on the books, and make a decision between two guys who you can't go wrong with, right? Well, maybe not! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss why the Galaxy may not have even contacted Greg Vanney yet, and why that all makes some perfect sense. Plus, did Vanney hold off on signing a contract with Toronto because the Galaxy made some coaching moves? Josh and Kevin will dive into the U.S. Men's National Team call-ups for Julian Araujo and Efrain Alvarez and discuss why both players seem to be taking it in stride. And why a Mexico and USA tug-of-war might be great for the Galaxy. Then the guys are off to scoff at rumors that have Jonathan dos Santos moving to a team that his brother might be on his way out of and why Memo Ochoa is suddenly a guy who could be in line for the Galaxy goalkeeping spot -- but not really. And would you want Patrick Viera as your head coach? Why the man who would command attention in the locker room should be on the Galaxy's list. We've got a quick 60 minutes of Galaxy-talk, and we're glad you could join us. Now stay inside, and enjoy your Galaxy-less MLS Cup the way 2020 would want you to -- alone!

But to start things off, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter, are talking about the US Men's National Team calling-up three Galaxy players. And while Sebastian Lletget is the most seasoned of the players headed towards the December 9th matchup with El Salvador in Miami, the real focus is on Efrain Alvarez and Julian Araujo. Both Galaxy players are now in a tug-of-war between the United States and Mexico. What could this mean for both youngsters as they head into 2021? And what does the schedule congestion look like with the Olympics being thrown into the mix? The guys will then talk about some MLS rescheduling, and what matchups have Galaxy ties as the playoffs come close to reaching their conclusion?
