Jason is all by his lonesome this week, but that's okay because there's still plenty to talk about with news out this week on a number of American soccer fronts. 

Come for the dive into the future of the Leagues Cup, a discussion about Major League Soccer's broadcast situation, and the big move to release everyone's GAM numbers for the first time in history—stay for the moment Jared shows up in the chat and kills Jason's Luigi Mangione bit.

Who stepped up and who let Mauricio Pochettino down?

Jared is out this week, so Jason hits the mic all by his lonesome to talk about the USMNT roster possibilities with Mauricio Pochettino a few weeks out from his first camp. Jason also has some fun with logo designs for Old Dad FC and Soccer Mom FC, the sister club...

Scroll to the bottom of the show notes to see some of the Soccer Mom FC design cursed images.

Here's some of the visuals we talked about on the show for the Soccer Mom FC logo...

Ten American men are participating in this year's new weird first phase of the UEFA Champions League, and with the first round of matches in the books this week, Jason and Jared are taking stock of how our Yanks did. 

Plus, a little game whipped up by the host with the most Wink Rodius.
