Andy treats the Grumpy Old Trolls semifinal loss as permission to troll Papa Josh. Video cuts to Josh in Deucers Alley inside a bright magenta LOSER frame as he physically opens a peppermint box and displays an Amari Cooper photo, returned taunts, printouts, and a book identified in dialogue as Healing After Loss. Josh says it hurts real bad. Andy's proposed Amari jersey never arrived and is not shown.
Andy directs Al to preserve the Red Rage 157.62 over Grumpy Old Trolls 119.38 result for the whole show. Direct video confirms the score as a persistent lower strip and on the rear monitor; at the close, the large central card joins both, prompting the line that it is on screen three times. The requested graphic changes happen, but Al is not visually identified at the controls.
Andy enjoys discovering how much Al and Mike wanted Papa Josh to lose. Mike says he wanted the good side and that rooting for Andy was fun for the first time in his life.
After the hosts admit they did not see whether David Montgomery returned, Kyle answers 'I'll look it up' from off camera. Later the hosts credit Kyle with confirming Aidan O'Connell completed no passes in the second, third, or fourth quarters. Direct checks show no Kyle inset, seat, gesture, or research screen in either segment.
Before Mike and Jason's Dynasty championship rematch, the hosts revisit how Kansas City drafting Clyde Edwards-Helaire upended rookie drafts and trapped Mike in a painful investment. The poetic ending would be Mike winning behind 'muscle hamster 2.0,' cutting Clyde afterward, and thanking the bomb that once blew his team to smithereens. Every explosive and hamster image is spoken, not shown.
A Stefon Diggs collapse reminds the hosts of a costly Greg Olsen trade that immediately failed. They reveal that Jason named one of the studio's two bathrooms after Olsen because of the experience and identify the bathroom in the room as Greg Olsen. No bathroom or sign is shown.
The hosts call Gabe Davis 'Mr. Christmas' because his fantasy outcomes are red or green--a zero or a week winner--then admit their Christmas-light analysis failed. Video shows no Gabe image, colored-light gag, or special costume.
The transition into waivers becomes another elimination joke: a mock breaking update announces every player from Josh's team has been let go and is available. No breaking-news card or roster dump appears; the score strip supplies the visual punch line.
The hosts say backup quarterbacks are often too conservative, but Nick Mullins lives at the opposite, full-D-GAF end of a Goldilocks spectrum. They embrace his interceptions for fantasy production and fuse him with Jameis Winston as 'Nick Winston.' Video remains on the hosts without a Goldilocks look or face mashup.
Andy, Jason, and Mike are named and visibly present throughout, with no missing host and no Jay Griz. Andy introduces himself as a normally humble winner, then gives League of Record rival Papa Josh exactly the troll treatment he says the matchup deserves. Direct video cuts to a three-human Deucers Alley: Papa Josh is clearly identified at the left station because a bright magenta LOSER frame encloses him while the hosts address him, but the other two seats have no labels and are not assigned to named crew. Josh physically opens a peppermint gift box and displays an Amari Cooper photo, returned papers, and a book. The dialogue identifies the returned material and calls the book Healing After Loss; that title is not legible enough in the checked frame to claim from the image alone. Andy says he wanted Josh to wear an Amari Cooper jersey but could not get one shipped, and no jersey or special costume appears. Josh's spoken verdict is, 'It hurts real bad.' Andy then asks Al to make the 157.62-119.38 Red Rage-over-Grumpy Old Trolls result permanent. The video really does keep the matchup strip on screen for almost the entire remainder of the show; it also appears on a rear monitor, and the close enlarges it while retaining the strip, producing the joking three-copy display. Al is addressed by name and the requested graphic changes occur, but the video does not identify him in a seat or show his hands operating it. Kyle answers 'I'll look it up' from off camera when asked to check David Montgomery, and his later Aidan O'Connell research is credited; both moments remain on the hosts with no Kyle inset. The host friendship gets its own payoff when Mike says it was fun to root for Andy for the first time. Mike and Jason's Dynasty final gives Clyde Edwards-Helaire a possible poetic ending: Mike might win behind 'muscle hamster 2.0,' cut Clyde afterward, and thank the player described as a bomb planted in his roster. No bomb, hamster costume, or cut scene appears. The hosts also reveal that Jason named one of the studio's two bathrooms after Greg Olsen because a costly trade went dead, call Gabe Davis 'Mr. Christmas' because his binary games are red or green, announce all of eliminated Josh's players as waiver-wire material, and push Nick Mullins from full D-GAF Goldilocks excess to 'Nick Winston.' Those bathroom, Christmas-light, and quarterback-mashup images are dialogue-only; the video stays on ordinary desk shots and the persistent league score. Routine fantasy advice is omitted.
That's all I'm saying when it's appropriate. I'm saying just when you're falling over, don't try to air yard at 40 yards. I mean, he was good for Jefferson. He was good for Osborne. Jefferson was good for Bullins. Yeah. Two of those catches. I know. Interceptions are great for fantasy football. Yes. I mean they're Nick Winston. Nick Winston here. Exactly right. I love a quarterback that's going to throw me some. Yeah, I support fully what he's doing. I want, I don't want him to change at all. No. But in fact. I do want them to change air it out a little bit more. Let's, let's push the envelope. Why are you being so conservative here, Nick Mullins? That was only 20 yards. I mean, he's proven that if you just throw it up to Jefferson inaccurately, you're still going to get a reception. Yeah. Poor Jefferson is going to get himself killed. Yeah. Denver plays the Chargers. That's a sneaky one as well, mostly rostered. The lowest roster of all of those was the Rams against the Giants. The Rams had been a pretty good defensive late. So Jacksonville, Chicago.
The Rams. There you go. Anybody else you want to add? No, that's pretty good. Sorry. Full stream ahead. So Mullins would be my desperation stream. If he's out there, he's got an elite weapon in the passing game. They are willing to chuck it. So I think Mullins would be my emergency start. Look, it wasn't great for us in DFS this week playing Mullins, but it was fine. Yeah, it worked out just fine. It didn't look very good in the beginning. No. But yeah, I like your guys as streamers a lot more than mine. So I wanted to throw it in the real quick. I'll bring mine up first and quickly because I came in this doc what I thought was so early to put mine in. And Mike, you had already got a man. It's the clear streamer this week. It's who you want to play in your championship matchup. I'm going to take the quarterback on the other side of the ball. Baker, Mayfield against New Orleans. He's the quarterback 11 on the season. Tevae's last three weeks, 29, 34, 30 points scored. They're looking good. He was the quarterback seven against New Orleans in week four. So Baker is someone you could play.
But if I had the choice, I'd play this guy. Send him in. It is the ultimate process play for your championship weekend. It is Derek Carr against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We've had three passing touchdowns in the past two weeks. Send in the car. This is not going to work. Seven. Nine yards per attempt since week six. It never works out. Since week six, Tampa. 29th in schedule adjusted points to the quarterback. They're allowing the third highest yards per attempt in the NFL. It should. It should work. It should work. Much like Clyde Edwards Allaire. This is the ultimate process says this should work. How will Camara be? That's my question. He hopefully better than last week. Yeah. Because that was brutal. I mean, if he's going to get it done, it's going to be through the air.
Yeah. Camara on the ground will not have a good game. Look, I acknowledge every external with Derek Carr. Yeah. He should be totally fine and great and good. Remember how great he was last week? Three touchdowns. Oh, yeah, the garbage time. I was so. Honestly, I thought he sucked. And in my head, I'm like, oh, yeah. He was awesome. I was hesitant to even put his name in the dock. So having Jason saying, yeah, that's the way to go. It is. It helps. I mean. Really hope you don't have to do that. But honestly, if you're, if you were rolling with the streamers already of, I don't know, you know, trying to time up Browning, Joe Flacco, both Browning and Flacco have really bad matchups. Andy, would you, in this matchup, Baker on one side, who is playing well? Looks good. You know, would you rather play Baker or, or Derek Carr? Those two guys are both available. It's championship week.
You're like, you're like hitting the table with anticipation. You're like, I would not have the, I would not trust Derek Carr. Okay. Their car is going to slip on some banana peels this week or something. Baker, I'd go Baker. Okay. But I would go. But cars a better matchup. Yeah. So trust the matchup. Trust the man. I mean, that is the decision to make. Who do you think wins the game? Tampa. I guess you think. Oh, you see, you think Tampa wins it? Yeah, I think Tampa wins. Tampa wins. Tampa's at home. They are, you know, they've been playing pretty well, one, two of the last three. Kyle says Tampa's favored by three. Yeah, I like Tampa. All right. That is going to do it for today's show. You know, Al, I can't really see the score. Would you might? Thank you. Thank you. If you want to leave those up there, we'll just close this thing out.
In humility. It's on the screen three times. I don't know what you're talking about. Thank you for joining us. I'll be out of great holiday. And we'll be back with another episode tomorrow.
