The first episode of the FOURTH (fourth!) season of the Shutdown Fullcast begins with a discussion about Dolly Parton, and then pretty much flies downhill from there (because all things are downhill from the greatness of Dolly Parton.)

Topics include:

--Dolly, and all the things she's done for you

--Phoenix's perfect okayness as a host city for football, and Tampa's definite dismalness as a host city for football

--We have no offseason plans! Besides not reading Dad Fiction (we're totally reading Dad Fiction this offseason) and starting a business for "Moms Who Like Wine"

--Reader questions, including a discussion of what disrespected teams will be most disrespectedly disrespected before the season even starts

--Some lengthy discussion of The Revenant, which Jason and Spencer agree is just "fine" and is filled with "really disgusting things"

--The worst fast food restaurants that are actually so bad you would not eat at them despite your predilection for bad fast food

--More lengthy discussion, this time of things where your critical compass is completely off from everyone else's
