Florida Man Tried WHAT With an Inflatable Turkey?! | Thanksgiving Special

Welcome back to The Dad Compass — and buckle your seatbelts because this Thanksgiving special goes completely off the rails.

We kick things off with the most unhinged headline of the holiday season:
 A Florida Man… an inflatable turkey… and a choice no one asked for.
From there, everything somehow gets even wilder.

In today’s episode we dive into:
 🦃 The inflatable turkey incident we wish was fake
 🔥 Why smoked turkey might be the ONLY correct way to make it
 😂 The great Thanksgiving food ranking war (Mac & Cheese controversy included)
 🌽 Yams vs. Sweet Potatoes — we settle it once and for all
 🌭 The disturbing fact that some people eat hot dogs on Thanksgiving
🍽️ Friendsgiving chaos, family traditions & nostalgia
💨 How Dmitry’s smoker literally caught on fire
🥪 The elite leftover sandwich combinations
🧠 What we’re genuinely grateful for this year
👀 AND a wildly inappropriate “What would you do?” Thanksgiving scenario that derails everything
