I've no new book out this Christmas and it feels weird. I'm very proud of my previous ones though and many are 30% off this weekend with the code BOOKGIFT30.

This week on ALFsplaining, the following things will never be referred to again:

⁉️ The basket they got so ALF could see Brian's play
⁉️ The Alien Task Force guy's broken arm
⁉️ Raquel's viking helmet
⁉️ The Tanners Lawn From That Specific Angle

The Alien Task Force guy's broken arm wasn't actually referred to at all, to be fair. No acknowledgement whatsoever.

TURKEY IN THE STRAW - PART 2

You've all been waiting a week to find out how ALF gets out of the predicament of being discovered by Flakey Pete, and also find our exactly what substance was flung in Willie's face!

Homeless man Flakey Pete who we meet this week is a man of science, deducing interesting facts about Melmac:

ALF's fur indicates it's a cold planet, his big feet suggest a muddy terrain, with a thin atmosphere that doesn't transmit soundwaves very well (big ears) and a scarcity of oxygen (big nose)

What other podcast has one week a detailed investigation into the model of VCR that ALF watches his videos on, and for the next attempts to translate what even the German subtitles described as "incomprehensible German".

NO OTHER PODCAST THAT'S WHAT.

I think it may be real lyrics?

I hear her singing „Und das will ich auch nicht“ (and that‘s not what I want either) and „Entschuldigung, oder es werde Sonntag“ (I‘m sorry/excuse me or let it be Sunday) but I may be over interpreting.

Even real Opera lyrics are hard to follow without reading along.

Okay, I want to give you a little buffer before everything that is to follow. Here’s Willard Scott and ALF, in what is going to wind up being the most normal thing that happened during this Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade…

Exclusive! An actual German person examines the "opera" in this week's episode....

We have pondered this week *why* the Alien Task Force's van was disguised as "Five Steves Pest Removal". Was this a reference to something? Or, as the good Doc Wallace here suggests, an in-joke? This seems the best solution to be honest.

There's the suggestion of some actual German language in the comedy Opera song sung in this episode. Any ideas, @mychameleondays.bsky.social or is it gibberish? (6m 39s)
