Hey Cheesecakes, it's Papa.

So Jen and I are off this week for the holiday.

And by off, of course, I mean that Jen will be doing 700 performances of Death Becomes her in the next six days because she is a machine.

But Cheezies, we didn't want to leave you hanging.

So we're replaying one of our all-time

favorite episodes, which of course is adult education written by our dear friend Stan Zimmerman.

And by the way, Cheezies, Stan still hasn't told me what 7B is. So we're going to need some good

old-fashioned internet bullying here. Just kidding. Cheezies, just kidding, Just kidding. Just kidding. Oh my God. Please do not bully our dear Stanley. That was a joke. This episode, however, does contain Jen's deep dive on Frank Sinatra, which may be the hardest I've ever laughed on this podcast. So that's it, my loves. We love you.

We are super, super grateful for you. And we'll be back next week with our regularly scheduled recap and deep dives.

Thank you for being a friend.

M-Wha. Cheesecakes, before we get to the episode, hello,

Patrick here, I just want to let you know, I'm going to be doing the deep dive all by myself today at the end of the episode. And that deep dive is an interview with our dearest friend Stan Zimmerman. So, Jeezies, this is a brand new interview with Stan who wrote this episode with his writing partner Jim Berg. He is going to give us all the tea on this episode, all the behind the scenes shenanigans. He's going to answer our questions about the episode, and he's going to answer your questions that you put up for us in the Facebook group. So the reason I'm doing the deep dive all by myself is because Mother Cheesecake, Jennifer Samard is deep, deep, deep in prepping to open Death Becomes her on Broadway. So she wasn't able to join me for this interview, but fear not.

She's with me throughout the rest of this episode.

So gird your loins for one of the funniest episodes we have yet to make,

and then prepare for the fabulous Dan Zimmerman to answer all of my and your questions,

because we put it to the Facebook group, about this episode as the deep dive at the end of this episode. Okay, here we go. Hi, Jennifer Smart. Hi, Patrick Hein. It's so nice to see you, girl. It's nice to see you. Don't I look beautiful today? You look gorgeous. We should tell the cheesecake. We're recording on a Saturday. We've never done this before. This is my Saturday little lash for you.

Yeah.

A Saturday lash.

Hi, Saturday Lash.

Thank you for doing extra homework with me.

Extra credit. Please. I think I actually mentioned it on the Facebook group this morning on a video. Yeah. Which you probably haven't even seen yet. I probably haven't even seen it yet. No, I was taking a car down here and I said, Patrick and I are going to the office on a weekend for my benefit, because when I'm in production, which means I won't get any sleep. I'll basically be living at the theater 24 hours a day. I'm not going to have time to record on our normal schedule. Well, for those of you who don't know, cheesecake, our dear mother cheesecake is about to go star in Death Becomes her on Broadway. In the Goldie Hawn Roll. Yeah, I'm playing Helen Sharp, and I'm very lucky. We saw in Chicago. It is divine. It is so, so good. It's a great show. I'm truly an honor to be a part of it. It's not lost to me. You know, a lot of, I grew up wanting to do this. Yeah. And there's a million women out there who would really kill to have this part. Yeah. So I wear the mantle proudly and humbly and I will try to do my best.

You're such an amazing person.
