The hosts define Megalodon as three days of material jammed into one caffeine-fueled episode, predict they will end as sweaty puddles, and eventually rely on smelling salts after running out of gas.
After being voluntold into Fantasy Faceoff and shaming themselves, three Deucers become Turkey One, Two, and Three and must produce the entire Megalodon in hot, smelly, mostly ill-fitting costumes; the hosts later reverse their masks so they cannot see.
From more than 20,000 Megalabowl entries, the top six in each league reach the playoffs, the top half advance weekly, and the final week's highest scorer becomes champion and enters the 2026 Listener League.
Kyle and Brooks select official annual awards that map fantasy players to Thanksgiving foods; categories include dependable mashed potatoes, the anti-traditional Jack-in-the-Box Mike Wright Special, and a pumpkin-pie player who is delicious until too much makes you sick.
Jason unexpectedly resurrects his ironclad, locked-and-loaded, 100-percent-guaranteed Boom Boom Kicker through a Megalodon ranch-hand story involving poop, a bazooka, and Ravens kicker Tyler Loop; the hosts insist it will never return again.
Jason's Saturday message and shared show-document note reveal the Saints defense; Mike raises an existing three-dollar bid to six and wins it over Jason's planned zero-dollar claim, prompting Jason to say a League-of-Record champion will trade everything.
The hosts catch the Falcon chewing during the show and turn it into an employment interrogation: he is eating on their time, they paid for the snack, and the bite has allegedly lasted twelve minutes.
When Mike asks why matchup graphics lack distinct home and road jerseys, the hosts say the graphics package launched Apple style: omit the full package now so a future update can add it.
Josh tries to answer from the turkey desk but his microphone fails; the hosts congratulate production for muting him and imagine reversing the control so every attempt to talk silences him automatically.
Three solo turkey noises create the triple-gobble candidate; the hosts choose and spell it, make it the giveaway hashtag proving a listener finished, integrate the gobbles into mailbag, and refuse to repeat it at the end for skippers.
The Thanksgiving Megalodon deliberately jams three days of content into one endurance show. The Deucers, having been voluntold into Fantasy Faceoff and shamed themselves, serve a full-show mega-shame as Turkey One, Two, and Three: Josh, Al, and the Falcon must produce while hot, smelly, and costumed. The hosts explain that the 20,000-plus-entry Megalabowl ultimately awards its winner a place in the 2026 Listener League. Annual Turkey Day Awards translate players into Thanksgiving dishes, including the anti-traditional Mike Wright Special and the YouTube-comment-born pumpkin-pie category. Jason resurrects his ironclad, locked-and-loaded, 100-percent-guaranteed Boom Boom Kicker with an intentionally grotesque Megalodon monologue. During actual League-of-Record roster management, Mike sees Jason's Saints-defense note in the shared show document, raises his bid to six dollars, and takes the defense while Jason fumes that he would trade everything after winning the championship. Elsewhere, the hosts accuse the Falcon of eating on company time and dime, roast the graphics team for withholding home-and-road jerseys as an Apple-style update, celebrate Josh's broken microphone as a dream mute feature, and use smelling salts to survive. The turkeys' three gobbles become hashtag triple gobble, are folded into the mailbag drop, and are intentionally not repeated at the close so listeners who skipped ahead receive no reward.
The reason we have deucers dressed up as turkeys this fine Thanksgiving episode is because they lost last week. So that was Fantasy Faceoff presented by prize picks.

Well, it's triple gobble time. Get ready, turkeys. Triple gobble time. Mailbag. Presented by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. I wondered who was going to do the bobble. Yeah, we got some gobbles in there. Let's jump into the mailbag here. We got a voicemail question to kick it off. If you have a question, you can go to the website, the fancy footballers.com or dial our voicemail hotline 302-464 TFFB. That's 302-464 TFFB. First question here, voicemail. Looks like it's about George Kittle. Happy Thanksgiving, ballers.
Quick question. Do I sit Kittle for Gadsden? A little concerned about Kittle playing on the road in Cleveland in Bagwoodger weather. Thanks. Nope. Nope. I understand it, being afraid of the weather, but if Purdy is in, then I'm not going to sit in. Then with Kittle, you'll win. I will, yeah, I was. How about Siddell the Kittle? Kittles been amazing. It's been a long show, man. It's going a while. Fumes. And Gadsden doesn't have, I realize the weather is much better, but Gadsden, the Raiders is a good matchup for the Chargers, but not necessarily for tight ends. They're top five against Titans. Yeah. Next question. It's a Wondale question. Chad and Virginia.
I can't believe I'm asking this, but Metcalf versus Buffalo or Wondale versus New England. I am going to go Wondale. I think it's Wondale. I think it's Wondale. It's full PPR, too. Is there anything else about D.K.'s injury? Because, I mean, he tweaked the, I think his ankle. He came back in the game, but I wasn't sure if maybe that was going to hinder him yet. No, but you don't, you just don't want to mess around with any variables with the Candyman. Matt in West Virginia, non-PPR. It's way better than DK Mike Caff that our website still has on there. Oh, yeah. Wait, that's a nickname for him? Oh, yeah, Mike Caff. I don't even remember what that's from. In non-PPR, Jvante Williams or R.J. Harvey. Jvante Williams or R.J. Harvey. I said this earlier. I gave him as one of the examples. I would play R.J. Harvey over J. They're very, very close in my rankings.
As of right now, Javante's at 12, Harvey at 15. I don't mind, though, going with Harvey. Yeah, there are close. I've got Javante just two spots behind Harvey in my rankings. Okay. Jerry in Long Island, New York. Hey, Ballers, huge fan of the show with Lamar banged up and honestly playing like doo-doo for fantasy for me of late. Am I crazy to bench him for staffer? Now that is a good question. It is because when you say are, am I crazy to bench him? I want to say yes. You don't bench Lamar Jackson the highest overrunner of the year against Cincinnati on Thanksgiving. You want that. But Stafford has been, you know, a revelation. He's top five quarterback right now against Carolina. If I had both of them, I'm not going to watch Lamar Jackson on Thanksgiving without him in my lineup. It's close. And I think you have full permission to go to Stafford. That's not a crazy decision.
I would be going on the mark. What about you guys? It's, I'm looking at my opponent. How many points? Do I need safe points? The crazy thing is what you're saying is the safest stafford? Yes, I am. This question is a little bit, maybe not the one to end with, but we're going to do it anyway. Drew in the United States of America. Oh, punch short. Why are you guys trying to act younger than you are? What? Your dislike for cats has really turned me off to the show. All three hosts should get this. to get tested for early dementia especially jason yeah mine's not early dementia i was born this way um what is hold on young people like wait old people like cats nobody likes cats i think that's my understanding cats there's cats kittens are great i just don't know what the the correlation between being young and hating cats so so young people hate cats is what this guy's saying um is that what that is that is that what that is
Young people hate cats? I don't know. I'm so confused, Drew. Old people like cats, and that's how you have like the cat ladies and stuff like that. Right. That makes sense. Cat ladies are never young. Cat ladies are sad old ladies with a dozen cats. Here's a little Thanksgiving message for the world. The whole, for the United States of America and beyond. Oh. Thanksgiving's just ours. If you like something, if you like something or you don't like something, cool. Yeah. I don't have to like or somebody else doesn't have to like what you like. Why are you trying to act so young? Oh, okay. With your opinions. With my opinions. Um, okay. Stay young, everyone. Stay young. All right. Never grow up. That does it for our gobble, gobble mail bag.
