Shutdown Fullcast

The Shutdown Fullcast, the world's only college football podcast, is only about college football when there are no weirder topics available. However, there are not many topics weirder than college football. Hosted by Spencer Hall, Jason Kirk, and friends.

Football needs these first-time champs
We're here to ponder which schools would be the funniest first-time national champs in college football (oh right, we cover college football). Oregon is not discussed in this context, because Michael Dyer was down. And first, let's discuss the funnest parts of the 2019 Charity Bowl, which allows you to:  - help people in need  - shame your rivals - force Spencer to get a 1990 Citrus Bowl Champs tattoo Learn more about your ad choices.

Pants Confessions
Los Homely Boys got together in person to talk about the important social issue of the day: Dan Mullen's billowy pants. Per Fullcast statute, there is also some discussion of the Bible and Star Wars, both of which, again, are related to pants. Don't worry, though - we've made our own individual fashion choices that didn't pan out, and so did a couple SPECIAL TEMPORARY GUESTS!  Also! If you haven't yet, please take the Vox Media Podcast Newtork audience survey! It takes no more than five minutes, and it really helps out the show.

The Least Safe For Work Fullcast Ever
What podcast can take a screenshot of a simple chyron error from a local news station in Alabama and turn it into a hastily planned, poorly recorded episode about the SEC Sex Tournament as if that's a real thing or a worthwhile topic? You know who, buddy. You know damn well who. Please note: no episode of the Shutdown Fullcast feels safe for children but this one probably shouldn't even be played on a device that children might later use. Just throw your phone into one of those biohazard bins at the doctor's office after you finish listening. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Animal Disasters, Part 1 (Live at SXSW!)
The Shutdown Fullcast heads to the home of Big Cow himself for our first ever ANIMAL DISASTERS episode. What kind of disasters? - The kind where someone decides "a gun in a Publix" is a solution - The kind that involve early 20th century Atlantic City - The kind where your Dad ends up putting multiple holes in the wall - The kind where a mascot becomes a serial killer - Tennessee Volunteers football And so forth. Somehow, Ryan forgot to bring up Noah at all on this episode! What an idiot. (Please note: this is a slightly shorter episode than usual because we cut out the Q&A portion of the show. You gotta show up in person if you want to learn those secrets, sucker.) We are conducting an audience survey to better serve you.

The World's Only AAF Podcast
With the signature timeliness only the Shutdown Fullcast can bring, we're here to discuss football's hot new league, the AAF. It's definitely financially stable and you know that because Rick Neuheisel came here from the Pac-12 Network. Everything he touches turns to gold! I'm pretty sure there's some weird Papa John talk on here as well, though that could be true of any Fullcast episode. Ok, have a great day! Learn more about your ad choices.

The Coaching Carousel Quiz
You might not have been paying close attention to all the coaching changes in college football over the last couple months, what with bowl games and the playoff and early signing day and the New Year's party you planned that went off the rails because Todd brought Bacardi 151 even though you only asked him to get a couple bottles of wine. Most of us weren't paying attention either, so Jason decided to quiz us as a team to see how many coaching hires we could name.  But first Ryan made everyone talk about Noah, and then Spencer and Holly wanted to share a story of the new friend they made during Super Bowl week.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We also talked about children being mean to Tom Brady because it's good when children are mean to Tom Brady. Tell your children to be mean to Tom Brady, please!  Learn more about your ad choices.

Technically, this is our 40 for 40 for the Cotton and Orange Bowls, which are both semifinals in the Playoff. But it's really not that at all. Instead, it's a box of broken Christmas ornaments and mouse droppings. So rather than just give you that box, I'm going to explain why the ornaments are like that and how I don't think we can get rid of the mice. Hooray! Learn more about your ad choices.
