No business leader wakes up thinking, gee, I hope I can make some huge trade-offs today.

And yet that's exactly what most security solutions ask of you. Trade speed for safety, user

experience for control, trade keeping things simple for keeping them secure. Not so with

Octa. Octa gives you a unified solution to protect identity.

No friction, no frustration, no compromises.

Security that's a launch pad instead of a limiter?

It's possible.

It's Octor. It's OCTA. Thank you. Hello, hello, and welcome to the totalcer Show, an MLS weekly edition of The Total Soccer

Show. My name is Taylor Rockwell. I am obviously very excited to be here. We've got a packed

crew today. And if you're missing Ryan Bailey's voice, we've got it coming up in the third segment

in which he sits down with Charlotte Head Coach Dean Smith. It's a little overly English for my taste. So we brought in Graham Rutherland to balance things out. Hi, Graham. This is your first MLS in season show of the year. Is that correct? Yeah, for a few weeks, certainly. I'm excited because I've been saving up all my Lorenzo and Senior analysis for a number of weeks now. He's just doing so much.

You can't stop him. So, yeah, I've just got so many notes on that.

A little annoyed that your introductory joke was better than mine. Mine was how much of your

time lately has been continuing your one-man candlelight vigil for Ryan Gald's knee?

Oh, I mean, it's just 24-7 at this point. I mean, genuinely, having watched Scotland limp to a 3-0 defeat to Greece the other day, Ryan Gould. Maybe a candlelight vigil is what I should be doing for the sake of the Scotland national team at this point. I appreciate your yes-and. As I said, your joke was better. So thank you for rolling with mine, Graham. Returning to talk to MLS is our friend and yours, Mr. Jeff Ruder. Hi, Jeff. We haven't yet heard your thoughts

on the recent international window. Briefly, the losses to Panama, Canada. Still bad? Still bad.

It's a weirdly great weekend for Greg Burholter. Pulling off, like, in a way win at Vancouver, amongst the rest of it is just like a very, very good weekend for Greg Burrhalter.

Yeah, even like BJ Callahan's doing his work as well.

That Gephalter tree is...

Okay, how is it the case that I've seen more like I miss him, like posts around the internet and there have been zero miss me yet, Greg Berhalter posts? I guess that shouldn't surprise me, but B.J. Callahan, Paches O'Hulahan remains a beloved figure, it seems. Yeah, it's still one of my favorite, like, 1970s buffet chains, B.J. Callahan's. Rounding out the crew today, it's Joe.

Please don't make me talk about the U.S.

men's national team anymore.
