This week’s show begins with an ode to Daryl Grove, who is currently battling cancer. Daryl is a producer of MLS Assist, helped create and brand the show, and, above all, is an amazing man. We are immeasurably thankful for him and for the impact that he has on our lives and the lives of so many others. Daryl, you are in our prayers.

During the much less important Major League Soccer part of the show, Joe and Jordan analyze New York Red Bulls/USMNT youngster Caden Clark and chat about a couple of other promising young American talents. Then there’s triangle talk (and Alvaro Medran appreciation) from Saturday’s matchup between Chicago and SKC and analysis of Thierry Henry’s smart gameplan that led the Montreal Impact to a 2-1 win over Inter Miami. Finally, as always, we get to Tactical Tidbits. This week's tidbits feature Toronto FC, the Portland Timbers, the Seattle Sounders, and Matías Almeyda's hair.

Joe Lowery is joined by FOX Sports’ very own Stu Holden for a wide-ranging MLS conversation. Topics covered include (but aren’t limited to):

• How do D.C. United move forward without Ben Olsen?
• General confusion about Thierry Henry’s Montreal Impact
• A dissection of Brenden Aaronson’s game
• How Stu would stop the Seattle Sounders 

Also, make sure to check out 361, a video project created to reimagine storytelling in the American soccer space. You can find 361’s first-ever video, on former New York Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch, right here.
