Shutdown Fullcast

Nobody had ever thought to have people send in questions that podcast hosts could answer on a recorded episode. But then we went and did it, because we're podcast innovators. Please send us thousands of dollars so we can consult for your business or whatever. The questions on this episode include, but are not limited to: - Who takes over at Bama after Nick Saban? - What team is most ready to explode into a dumpster fire? - What would you choose as the mascot if you were the AD of a new program? - How are our skin care routines looking? - Which children's entertainment is the worst? - What is a blender's highest use? - Did people think Garth Brooks was sexy in the mid 90s?

Vacations are like any other carefully planned human endeavor: they are subject to complete and total collapse, from predictable factors and from shit you never saw coming. You, the listeners, have pooped yourselves, seriously injured yourselves, left each other in jail on false charges, been conquered by Disney, and caused permanent damage to your relationships. Fortunately, we have done these things, too. The Shutdown Fullcast: We All Sink Down Here! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

As we approach a new season of college football, we, as esteemed members of the national media, have an important job before us: to embrace bold, possibly stupid, predictions about what is yet to come and spread them into the world. But we want to break down the distinction between "host" and "listener," which is why we have turned this honored task into a game that you can play as well! Go to https://forms.gle/gJH1TH9HhkkyUyQY6 to enter, and throughout the season we'll tell you exactly how much better you are than Ryan at this. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the episode where we try to convince you we are reasonably well-rounded people who travel and read for pleasure and watch television that isn't just whatever weird Minnesota replay the Big Ten Network has picked out for a summer Tuesday afternoon. Maybe you'll get some ideas for new things you can enjoy in the remaining days before football season starts. Maybe you'll think our taste sucks and tweet us better things we should have consumed.

Richard Johnson joins Holly, Spencer, and Jason to preview the Purple Division and the Assorted Division, because no, we weren't organized enough to avoid having a grab bag division where the teams don't wear the same colors. That one has BYU, Hawaii, Miami, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Oregon, while the Purple Division has Clemson, Kansas State, LSU, Northwestern, TCU, and Washington. If our arbitrary conference setup did not include your school, it means they're either: a) terrible and going to be trash this year or b) secretly amazing but we're betting lots of money on them and don't want the secret to get out Learn more about your ad choices.

Podcast newbie Steven Godfrey joins Holly, Spencer, and Ryan to preview the Orange Division and the Fake Orange Division. The former includes Auburn, Florida, Oklahoma State, Syracuse, Tennessee, and Texas; the latter brings you Arizona State (sort of), Boston College, Iowa State, USC, Virginia, and Virginia Tech. Maybe you're thinking some of those schools aren't orange at all, to which we will remind you that red and yellow mixed together MAKE orange. That's Colors 101, sucker.

After this episode, we're now 60% of the way through previewing ever-well, ok SOME of this year's college football teams. This is the Conference Yellow, aka the Piss 12, and it includes Appalachian State, Army, Cal, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Iowa, Michigan, Mizzou, Purdue, Toledo, UCF, and West Virginia. This is also the episode where Spencer does one of the worst things he's ever done on this show, and we're sorry but we cannot control him.

Our super dumb season preview continues with THE BLUE CONFERENCE, home to Boise State, Buffalo, Georgia Southern, Kentucky, Memphis, and Penn State in one division and Arizona, Navy, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Pitt, and UCLA in the other. Holly and Spencer were out for this one, so we brought on special guest Alex Kirshner and person who is on the show all the time Brian Floyd. Does that mean we talked about football and not nonsense?

It's season preview time, and this year we're realigning all* of college football by the only system that matters to us: uniform color!

As the capper to our 2019 Charity Bowl, we headed up to Ann Arbor for a live show on the most sensible day to stay inside possible: the summer solstice, with amazing weather. And because this was a Michigan show, we had to do Michigan things, like: - War trivia - Auditing the business departments of the Big Ten - War fan fiction - Explaining how all of football owes its existence to Michigan - Generally feeling superior to Michigan State in all things Special thanks to the Ann Arbor District Library and the squad at MGoBlog helping make this show possible.

No team wants to catch a beatdown, but wanting can only get you so far in life, as it turns out. Usually, that beatdown comes at the hands of a powerhouse, like the USWNT, or Oklahoma, or UConn Football. In every case, a beatdown is something to be beheld and regarded, like a freak accident or a zoo animal that gets stuck on the roof of a skyscraper. We will not shame those who deliver beatdowns in this home. We will seek them out and remind you that they are real, and that they can happen at any level, at any time. Especially if you're at a Rutgers game. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The world's only college football podcast always makes the most logical choice, and that is why this episode is about SPOOKY STORIES TO TELL AROUND THE CAMPFIRE. Topics include: - Which coach’s head is secretly held on to his body by a velvet ribbon? - Ryan is not in this show because every terrible story you ever heard about New York came true at once, in his bloodstream - A great deal of time is spent in Indiana without properly taunting Indiana, and for that we apologize in advance - Also a lot of freshwater ecology talk, for some reason Learn more about your ad choices.

The Blood Week History Series turns its gory eye to Bowl Season, (No, bowl season is not a week, but all measures of time are human constructs anyways.) Though many candidates were worthy of consideration for the bloodiest bowl season, only one included: - A beloved postseason donnybrook - Former SWC powerhouses squaring off - Persistent Boise State doubt, somehow - Well-regarded Mississippi teams (plural!) - Disrespected Ohio State BLOOD WEEK HISTORY!

You know how we did a live show in Austin centered around animal mishaps? Well, there were several stories you submitted that we did not feel comfortable reading into a microphone in front of actual people. So we saved them for this episode, where we could read them into a microphone to digital people, who are not real.

Blood Week: the week (or weeks) in a college football season where maximum chaos is realized, and the status quo is upturned by as many upsets as the sport can stuff into its craw in one stretch. That usually happens in the middle of the schedule, but there's no rule saying Blood Week has to be then. So we decided to hunt for the bloodiest Week 1 in the sport's history. Without totally spoiling it, our choice includes: - A wasted trip to Anaheim, California - Golf clubs used as rescue devices - A mountain hero named Earl Remember - if you enjoy the Shutdown Fullcast, tell a friend and leave us a nice review!

It's time for you to get some religion, and by religion I mean finding the story, character, or book of the Bible that best fits different college teams and entities. We split the good book into different assignments: Ryan leads off with the New Testament, Holly gives us a very personal digression into the Book of Revelation, and Jason takes the Old Testament with a few bonus books. Spencer? Spencer didn't do his homework, and is condemned to Hell. Or possibly saved from Hell because this podcast concept is inherently blasphemous? Unclear. Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you know: there are no college football games scheduled to be played in May, or June, or July of this year. So we might as well talk about old games we enjoy rewatching. (We does not mean Ryan, who lives in a remote hamlet without access to electricity. Stupid, stupid Ryan.) Topics include: Welcome to the EDSBS Book Club, may god have mercy on your soul / College football games we all would watch right now / The time Oregon blew a 31-0 lead to a TCU team with a backup QB named "Bram Kohlhausen" / A review of infamous and inhumane beatdowns we would watch with glee POWERED BY BIG ANGEL ENERGY Learn more about your ad choices.

Harry Lyles Jr. joins us for a very serious and analytical 2019 NFL Mock Draft, because we definitely know all of the team needs in this Draft and have ground as much tape as humanly possible to identify breakout stars and busts. We would never make a bunch of dumb joke picks that left one of the best players completely skipped over in the first round while a kicker got taken in the top 15. And we definitely would not forget who plays for the Miami Dolphins! That's not this show, because this show is about SERIOUS FOOTBALL SERIOUSNESS. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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.
