Nat, Mike and Dan are trendsetters, pacemakers and serial word-abusers. This week they're trying to start a whole new Santorum thing with the aid of 4th-time Americarnage hitter Ben Isaacs who's going to be running the guys through the upcoming NCAA season amongst other things...

In other news: Spike Lee catches bats; Mike talks books; the All-Star game comes up again; big contracts in the NFL; crazy contracts in the NHL; the grand return of Twit of Twat; your questions in the Bodeans Mailbag; obscene amounts of references and much, much more...

Mike and Dan make their glorious return to the studio in lovely Camden Town but find that the host's chair is empty as Nat's taking his turn in the Americarnage isolation hut for a week of nihilistic shouting along the lines of 'Tebow for President'. Meanwhile, back in reality, the guys are joined by friend of the show, ex-pat Canadian and the man who will bring you the Olympic Rhythmic Gymnastics, Erik Janssen. Hurrah!

In other news: The Tree of Life is a contentious film; Dan loves The Walking Dead; in the MLB it's the All-Star game and by the time you read/listen to this all excitement will have faded; the final 3 players have been picked for the Dream Team at the Olympics; Steve Nash has been traded to the Lakers; the Phoenix Coyotes are in trouble again, the midwest love-affair with hockey is still in question; the Wild pick up Sutter in a bit of a coup, making them contenders all of a sudden; other things happen, they're exciting; your questions in the Bodeans Mailbag; 80's movie theme tune game leaves Carlson pissed off and much, much more...

Nat, Mike and Dan value their time together but, like every disfunctional proto-three-way-affair masquerading as a podcast, they need some time apart. This week Mike and Dan have taken their turns in the isolation huts but, as a proper treat, Nat is joined by the incomperable Marek Larood and King of BBQ Andre Blais.

In other news: Chipper Jones is in his last All-Star game and Carlson will be covering while Nat's away next week; Nat's got a new column on ESPN, the guys haven't read it; Marek hits balls a long way; they discuss the best quarterbacks for next seasson; Brodeur sticks with the Devils for nine mil so he doesn’t have to meet a new team for the first time in his career; Torres’ concussing of Hossa to be worth four less games than Brendan Shanahan reckoned after an appeal; your questions in the Bodeans Mailbag; what bands would the guys like to see reform, and much, much more...

Nat, Mike and Dan can be a little picky about who they have around them, especially when they're talking sports and their blood's up. Luckily for this week's guest he's about as cool as they come and regularly produces them on other shows (wait, they do other shows...? - HdP) it's Phil 'The Producer' Spooner.

In other news: Kevin Youkilis has moved from Boston to the Chicago White Sox; Obama the White Sox fan makes a gag in Boston which goes down like a dose of cholera; happy birthday Derek Jeater - 38 yesterday; the NHL draft has happened and the Oilers got the first pick, going for Nail Yakupov the nippy winger from Tatarstan; the bulk of the draft are so young it's their first time away from home; in the NBA, 400,000 turn out for the Miami victory parade; Dwayne Wade has hinted that he might not join the Dream Team in London for the Olympics; Dan names his cake shop; your questions in the Bodeans Mailbag; a serious literary discussionand much, much more...
