ALF: Turkey in the Straw

<p>Previously on the Advent Calendar House, we let the goofy alien puppet with the jokes toy with our emotions in “<a href="https://adventcalendar.house/episodes/alf">ALF’s Special Christmas</a>.”  </p><p>🦃 This time, join us around the Fappiano table as we aim a spoonful of squash back to 1988 for a special, 2-part Thanksgiving episode of “ALF.” Too bad he’s already eaten the turkey, but there might still be some  sweet potato pie in the garage, with the homeless man.  </p><p>****  </p><h2>🎙 Guests:  </h2><p>Tom Coombs (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/popdaddytom">The Pop Daddy</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/thepopdaddy">@thepopdaddy</a>).  </p><p>Jayme Kilsby (<a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/forever-bogus">Forever Bogus Podcast</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/brainexploderrr">@brainexploderrr</a>).  </p><p>Chad Young (<a href="https://www.horrormoviebbq.com/">The Horror Movie BBQ</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/horrormoviebbq">@horrormoviebbq</a>).  </p><p>****  </p><h2>💬 Topics & Tangents:  </h2><p>1.
