The tree flips the studio into Christmas mode
Once the tree is up, the hosts embrace cocoa, daily car and house music, Home Alone, candy canes, and a family Elf viewing where every thirty seconds is called a banger.

Once the tree is up, the hosts embrace cocoa, daily car and house music, Home Alone, candy canes, and a family Elf viewing where every thirty seconds is called a banger.
After Spatchcock reaches number nine in holiday trends and his first bird turns out excellent, Jason double-spatchcocks for a second Thanksgiving. The new turkey is insufficiently thawed, putting him literally on the ground trying to CPR the bird for leverage while cutting its spine and breaking its breastbone. The published episode only reports this story from the desk; it does not show the home event.
A host recalls the prior season's down-the-stretch Papa Josh drama and says the rematch is absent because Josh is not sniffing the current playoffs. Papa Josh audibly replies that he remembers no drama, and the desk insists the people remember.
The Sunday-night audience ritual returns with J. Win Daniels, Rico Wowdle, James Spatch Cooked, Buck Wild Irving, Atheist McCaffrey, Ken Grown Walker, Christian McGlassney, Pooper Cup, Cooper Cup of Farts, Bust Edwards, CeeDee Bland, Lil Montana, Will Dismal, Kyle Sits, George Little, and Breece Small/Frightening.
Jason calls Breece Hall the deep-fried turkey of the season: pursued for the best possible result but capable of a massive fire and burned bird. Because Jason has Breece everywhere, he says his house and teams are in flames. The desk reports that Mike laughed disproportionately at Jason's expense when Breece fumbled because Mike was playing him.
When Bucky Irving's workload and production surge more than anyone else's, the hosts say Al Borland has in some way manifested that reality and immediately agree that he really has.
Al says he was rostering his own insurance in Jordan Mason. A host who had dropped Mason asks to get Al on camera so they can react together in sadness after a competing favorite adds him. The published cut directly shows Papa Josh and Al in Deucers Alley, with Al at the right occupied station and another station empty.
Kyle Borgognoni predicts three combined touchdowns for Anthony Richardson, and the third arrives at the last second of the game. The episode praises Kyle but does not show or audibly identify him; published frames remain on the regular hosts.
Frustrated by missing goal-line angles, the hosts invent a high-resolution camera that floats directly above and follows the ball. Passing complicates the plan, so they invoke satellite zoom and installing the technology in the roof.
Kenneth Walker's dud reopens the Bone Zone and questions his effectiveness without a big play. An explicitly personal Bucky-versus-Walker question chooses Bucky now and later; a league trade once seen as an egregious Walker win is, one month later, unquestionably better for the Bucky side.
The hosts request a nontraditional, public Aaron Rodgers benching: tell him the wrong game time so he arrives after the game, or make him turn in his helmet and pads on the sideline. This is entirely imagined dialogue, not an enacted or visible punishment.
The show previews the coming Wheel of Shame, identifies a loser and a 165-point winner, and addresses visible Jason as Jay. Direct published frames show only the three regular hosts; no wheel, costume, spin, or physical punishment occurs in this episode.
At goodbye, Mike earns a fabulous Friday on the house, Al and Papa Josh are thanked, and the hosts point out a missing Deucer only to say they would not call him missed. The transcript never names the absent person; earlier published frames show Al and Papa Josh occupying two Deucers Alley stations with another chair empty, while close frames stay on the hosts.
Christmas studio rituals collide with Jason's frozen second-spatchcock turkey CPR story, Papa Josh's denial of prior playoff drama, Al Borland's Jordan Mason insurance lament, and a stack of Monday Punday nicknames. Jay Griz is explicitly absent.
in Buffalo yet. Now the snow is a reason why, but also we haven't seen it yet. He did. On the Josh Allen touchdown that was receiving touchdown, the receiving touchdown, which was Amari Cooper. Amari Cooper got the reception. He gets the catch and some yards, yeah. But he needs to get credit for the catch because the throw was terrible. Yeah. throws behind him and he reaches his arm out back behind him in one hands. Which Alan talked about it of like the reason that Josh Allen ran over there is because he's like, I threw such a bad ball that I didn't know what was going to happen with it. So I ran like I was going to like help out. Tackle an interception. He's like I, he felt like he might have thrown turnover. Yeah. And then gets a receiving touchdown. Yeah, it's fun to watch them right now. Debo Samuel retired on the field again. Four for 20.
with a fumble. So I know it's snow. Yeah. But you would honestly expect Debo. Why didn't you get rushing work? To have like a snowy game to me would be where Debo should shine. And if you told me, hey, it's going to be a snowball and you're going to lose Christian McCaffrey. I'd be like, how many carries did Debo get? Do you get like six, seven, you know, zero touches on the ground? None. Yeah. Yeah. The Niners are hard to figure out right now. Well, they're, I think they're just bad. I think there's a bad team. I mean, Mike said it on Sunday live. They were the biggest underdogs of the week. And that was with CMC. It wasn't big enough. No, no, just they looked like they couldn't get anything done. And I was honestly surprised they cut purdy out there as long as they did in a game like that. So.
their odds of making the playoffs are tremendously low. Their schedule is very difficult. Their schedule is difficult. They're two games behind, and they've lost to everybody in the division. So their tiebreaker right now situation is they'd have to gain three games and how many, we've got five games left? How many games are left? Five. Okay, okay. Nailed it. They beat Seattle, so they have one divisional win. Have they played both their games against Seattle? Uh, uh, Yeah, so they've split. Yeah, and I think I think they, I think I heard yesterday they have no tiebreakers. Yes, because anybody in the division. I believe the tie breaker. Yes. After the direct head to head is divisional. Yes, yes. Quentin Johnston caught two passes for 12 yards. He had another drop. Yeah. They made sure to show it on. Wait, the one where he caught it again, but it was out of bounds when he caught it, or a different drop? I thought he had a different drop. Probably. I mean. Just saying, like, he is.
He, the, the mental side of the game is tough for him right now. And it's like, if he, if he drops something, it's, I think the day is toast. Kittle busted in the snow, just one catch. You can kind of throw that out. As long as Purdy's back, Kittle will be good. Hawkinson three for 28. A lot of puns that were just not ones I was going to put into the show about T.J. Hawkinson. I don't know. People were just feeling bad. Spatch. Yeah. Spatchawk. K dot and four for 20. Oh, including a should have had a touchdown, but yeah. And he dropped the screen pass that was like. Yeah, it was weird. He had seven targets. So you were happy to see that again. Yeah. I mean, that's what I mean. I feel like Kate Otten himself let us down. He will be starting for me because I lost Tayson Hill and it's over for Tayson. So, uh, and then let's, um,
Let's have a moment here. Sadness. Yeah, I don't think. Do we have the goose? I mean, Will Disley, whatever. People were starting and they were hoping they didn't get anything. You know what you're getting into. But Kyle Pitts, he played 40% of snaps. Kyle Pitts over the last four games has been. The last four games, the 17 game pace would be 25 receptions on the year. He's toast. Yeah, he's not, he's not very involved. There's another, there's a pun. There's a pun I can think of for him. Kyle poops. Sure. How does he have the stretch? How much is Kurt Cousins? I don't know. The 60% he wasn't on the field wasn't Kirk Cousins. 88 yards, 70 yards, 65, 91, and I'm done for the year. Well, part of it was the, he had a 52 yard, a 50, and a 49 this year in three separate games. So it was big plays.
So tomorrow we'll get into waivers. We'll get into streaming quarterbacks. We'll get into hungry for more on Wednesday, Thursday night preview, mailbag starts of the week, matchup breaks downs, and the wheel of shame. Who got that one? That's not me. That one's me this time. Who won me or you, Jay? You did. Okay. You had a monster put up like 165 points, which for a Thanksgiving day is really good. Oh, that's good. Yeah, I guess I, that wasn't sarcasmal now. I know you looked at me like I was setting up the, setting up the brag. It felt like a little horn tooty. It wasn't. We were following along, but then like I went away from the last two minutes of the games. And I think, I think Tua and somebody else scored a million points. And I, I was surprised. Yeah, it was close for, for a while. And then also you weirdly did not join our.
actual contest. So it was very difficult to attract. That has happened. That has happened before. Not sure why. But Mike, you can enjoy a fabulous Friday on the house. Yep. All right. That'll do it for today's episode of the show. Thank you, Al. Thank you, Papa Josh. If you notice, there's a missing deucer. But I wouldn't say we're missing him. Oh, got him. All right. I better push this button. That is it for the fantasy footballers today. But there'll be a fantasy footballers tomorrow. Take care, everybody. Goodbye.
