New England and then Toronto, and we've got the entire travel schedule right here for you. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss all the Galaxy news you can handle. That includes updates to the Homegrown territories and the signing of Martin Caseres. First, Josh and Eric will briefly get Eric's take on the Seattle game, and the Hammer will talk about the culture of losing that is taking place in LA. Could that change in the season's final nine games, and would you be surprised if it didn't? The guys will then get you through more MLS rules that only muddy the playing field when they talk about eliminating blanket protection for academy kids. But will 54 players make a difference? And what does this look like when USL is right next door? Josh and Eric will then go over the signing of Martin Caseres and what the 35-year-old brings to the table as a defender. When can you expect him to play, and how much playing time could he get? Josh was at Galaxy training today, so he got to talk to Vanney about a wide range of things. What were the big takeaways, and who had surgery to end their season? Finally, the guys are talking about the New England Revolution and what Bruce Arena's side might have in store for the Galaxy. Will the Galaxy sit back and counter? And why should you expect a challenging game? We've got a packed show for you tonight. And we're thrilled you could join us. Let's go!

After witnessing a phenomenal, acrobatic, double save right in front of them, the Cauldron began chanting "That's Our Keeper!" 21-year-old John Pulskamp has been in goal far more than he expected this season, so he says hearing that level of support from the fans "is hard to describe exactly." Tim Melia has been out with a hamstring injury, and his contract is up this year. Pulskamp, however, signed an extension earlier this year through 2025 with an option for 2026. Therefore, Peter Vermes and Co. are getting a nice long look at the potential heir to the throne. The Cauldron let their feelings be known as Pulskamp shut down any hope the Portland Timbers had of making a comeback. The task at hand for the young is not lost on him. The competition is fierce, and only getting more challenging. Pulskamp explains the importance of looking inward and always working to find that next level. "There's a lot of guys on the roster. There's a lot of guys in the league," he says. "Those guys are constantly getting better, they're making themselves better." He's a California kid and thought he had an idea about what Kansas City might be like, but he's since grown to love it. And brings his family & friends in town to enjoy it as well. From the LA Galaxy academy, to trials overseas, he shares with us his path to landing at Sporting. Pulskamp reveals the best cities in US Soccer for getting heckled. He misses the feisty fans of the USL. We also learned why Tim Melia started calling him The Big Bear. It's hard to avoid with paws like that. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's interview series episode, James Sharman, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and Craig Forrest catch up with Craig's old Ipswich Town and Canadian men's national team teammate Frank Yallop. They laugh about the good old days and what it would take for Ipswich to make it back to the Premier League, their experiences with Sir Bobby Robson, and some coaches that taught Frank exactly how not to coach.    Managing David Beckham when he arrived in Major League Soccer and the challenges that presented for an LA Galaxy organization that wasn't quite prepared for just how Hollywood things would get with Becks now MLS' star attraction, made for some great conversation. If you listen closely you can hear how envious Jimmy, Sharms and Dunny were to hear that Frank was rubbing elbows with Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Brooke Shields and countless Hollywood A-listers.     Now the head coach and sporting director at USL Championship club Monterey Bay FC, Frank talks about the growth of the sport in the United States and the fulfillment he gets from building teams from the ground up. As well as the pathway that exists for Canadian Premier League players, like Morey Doner who joined MBFC this season, and how well he thinks CanMNT will do in Qatar with stars like Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, under the guidance of John Herdman.    The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV.

Once again we turn inward, this time diving deep into co-host Colin's  origin story. From young pee-wee days in New Jersey, to two influential trips to soccer's birthplace, all the way to using the sport to forge relationships in the Asia Pacific region, Colin walks us through his formative experiences and explains how the sport influenced him from an early age. Like our first "FTP Origins" episode with Mike, Colin gets just as profound, sharing his sense of responsibility and purpose to share the joys and gifts that footy and travel have given him so far in his life.   Foot(y) notes: Catch the highlights (including the infamous Alan Shearer PK) of Colin's first Premier League game. Here's a brief history of how USISL became the USL. This is what the South Jersey Barons are today. And if you didn't know that Thailand has its own Premier League...

Dr. Kip Schumacher, founder of the Schumacher Group (now SCP Health), one of the largest healthcare management companies in the U. S., joined Discover Lafayette to discuss his medical career journey and creation of the William C. Schumacher Family Foundation which funds charitable initiatives focused on improving quality of life, education, crisis response, and healthcare measures. Erica Ray, Director of Operations for the foundation, also joined us. Kip is a Lafayette native, having attended Hamilton Elementary School and Lafayette High. He graduated from USL (now UL-Lafayette) and LSU Medical School. A successful entrepreneur at an early age, Kip made costume jewelry from brass, silver, and gold wire to fund his higher education. His creations caught the eye of Barbara Abdalla, and the iconic Lafayette retailer, Abdalla's, was the first to buy from him. While he started out in pediatrics, Kip would moonlight in the ER and he fell in love with emergency room medicine. It was an environment where he got to know people of all ages from all walks of life and he realized how challenging access to medicine could be for so many people. He worked for 17 years as an ER doc at Opelousas Medical Center and it was there that Kip realized there had to be a more efficient way to treat patients while helping the hospital make the financial side work. In 1980 when Kip started working at Opelousas General, the hospital contracted separately with each doctor. Kip approached the management team with a proposal to let him manage hirings, payroll, scheduling, and medical malpractice claims; he witnessed how effectively the doctors worked when they operated as a team rather than as separate independent contractors answering to the hospital. His chance to expand his management acumen came about when a doctor friend at Iberia General approached him to take over their administrative operations when he retired. Kip found the work rewarding and it followed his calling to provide the type of medical service they did at Opelousas General. His mission was to provide quality care for the patients and he came to understand that success was dependent upon all of the healthcare providers working as a team, and respecting one another. This team concept in medicine was relatively new at the time. Kip had learned that it wasn't his prescribed treatment that made a difference in patient outcomes, "It's everything around that patient that makes a difference." He endeavored to ensure that each team member from the ward clerk, the nurses, and the doctors, were respected. "That was the strategy that led me down the path of starting Schumacher Group. It's a simple philosophy that I've found has held a lot of people back, not just in medicine, but in business in general and in life. They don't stop and look at the people around them and realize that their lives are so dependent upon people that they don't show the respect that they could. Look at everyone around you and see how they fit into the grand scheme of what it is you're trying to accomplish." He established the Schumacher Group in 1994 with the goal of helping hospitals streamline their Emergency Room operations with staffing, scheduling, billing, insurance, and quality management. Kip grew the Schumacher Group from managing the ER services at 10 facilities in one year to 50 facilities in 5 years. After experiencing exponential growth over the years, Schumacher merged with other companies to widen its array of services. Today, SCP Health is one of the largest healthcare partners in the country serving over 8 million patients in 30 states. Kip's dream of bringing his caring touch to help our most vulnerable get the most efficient access to healthcare has truly become a reality. "One thing I've learned is that if you have a really good mission and a vision that you can communicate very effectively, it makes success a lot easier. You'll attract the kind of people who believe ...
