Our thoughts on Shawn Johnson's new wedding-YouTube channel.
Spencer tells us which elites are killing it in NCAA already, which freshman are on his must-watch list and we discuss our hopes and dreams for the new Greg Marsden, Sam Peszek, Alicia Sacramone commentary team.
Lots of listener feedback about:
- MyKayala Skinner's use of the N word on twitter
