Our 2019 Mock Draft, with Lessons for Kyle

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 sh...

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!

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...

FANTASY DRAFT: American States

We, the 2019 State Draft GMs, are splitting the country into five teams for very weird reasons. Why are we doing this at all? You ask too many questions! Just like a cop!

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.

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 ta...

Behind The Fullcast - A Special Look At How A Terrible Podcast Gets Made

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.

I'm gonna be straight with you: I (Ryan) am pretty sleepy this morning so I did not go through the podcast for timestamps of what we discussed.
