So
I've been having troubling, dark thoughts lately.
I'm exhausted, over worked and never seem to catch my breath or catch a break.
Despite everything i know the dark thoughts will pass.
I post this, not as a "poor me" thing, but more that if you are having the same thoughts, we can get through it.

I love how Paul went out of his way to find a squeezed empty ketchup bottle noise. Going above and beyond for Eli this week. XD
Oh No, Eli’s been given permission to talk about sauces again! That’s never good news for Paul who’s reduced to creating new nonsense words for the show. It’s a SAUCE ORGY of an episode!

There's a great new sound effect on Cheapshow this week that made me laugh out loud while I was loading the dishwasher.

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

How random can one episode get? When the thrifty items on show are a mix of charity shop and Ali Express offerings, then all bets are off for Paul & Eli this week!

🚨NEW!🚨
Over on the ALFsplaining Patreon we're looking into the short-lived UK version of the ALF comic and Ben gets a chance to do his Welsh accent.
But the "censoring" on the letters page has us intrigued. Help us out gang, what do *you* think has been obscured here?
