Episode Description

  • Tornadoes, gendered for a reason
  • New Grumors!

  • Who is the Chet Hanks of the Mannings?
  • This year's Fullcast mystery brackets ask the important questions, such as: Has cryosleep gotten a bad rap? Is there pizza in the future? Will we never trust North Carolinians to handle snakes properly?
  • Who will join previous bracket champions Mariah Carey and Old-Timey Mine Cart? Everybody be cool and follow the instructions to determine our winner! You did a really good job at this last year, and we're proud of you! Do not make us unproud
  • The Shutdown Fullcast is on Patreon. This is how we pay our producers, and occasionally ourselves. If you'd like to help with that, give us $4 a month (or a larger, funnier number of your choosing) and we'll give you bonus episodes. As of this recording we have delivered 27 (twenty-seven) bonus episodes since launching in August. We think this is a pretty good deal (for you)
  • Now through March 31, 100% of proceeds from all PTKU merch sales will be donated to TransVisible Montana. Visit preownedairboats.com to purchase BRAND-NEW BLUE SHARKS GEAR #EXCLUSIVE
