Nat, Mike and Dan are pretty happy this week and this is down to two big things: the NFL draft and this week's special guest, stand-up comedian and all-round media bad-ass Luke Capasso who joins the guys in time to witness their joy at the coming together of two of Americarnage's favourite reference-point QB's...

At last! After however many weeks its been, Iron Mike is back on Americarnage and in many ways it's like he's never been away. Probably because he hasn't really been anywhere, he just lost a bet and had to spend a month in the Cupboard of Shame. Otherwise known as Harry the Producer's holiday home. In other news:

Luke may be a god when it comes to the premier league but the guys take it upon themselves to sort him out with some real teams to support...

Well, don't think so...
