So guys we have another very special

Very special episode of out on the Lanai today. We are chatting with Mark

Sotkin, who was a co-executive producer on The Golden Girls from seasons 5 through 7 and wrote

some of our favorite episodes. Mark, thank you so, so much for being here with us today via Skype.

My pleasure. This is so high tech of us. This is the first Skype interview we've done. Oh, I do them all the time. It works great. Yeah, yeah. We're gonna be okay. Alright, oh, thank goodness. Because we're just on the other end, just clutching hands so nervous how this is going to go. Guys, Mark wrote, I mean, just list all some of these episodes that Mark wrote. Well, first, Mark wrote all of the Ebtide episodes, which I'm so curious to know where those, where that name comes from. He and I, H. L. and I were actually sitting around. We're like, wait, where? Is it a hurricane thing? Is it a, like, is it a metaphor? you wrote, ebtide, ebtide's revenge.

Let's get some context for the listeners.

Because oftentimes people watching the episodes, they don't know the names of the episodes.

They only know it this situation.

So Mark wrote the episode where, I mean, one of the most iconic favorite episodes, we asked you guys, which was your favorite episodes, and it was the one where Phil passed away.

Which was Ebtide's Revenge.

Which is a very popular episode, and Mark wrote that one, wrote the one where George, or Big Daddy, passed away.

Yes, Ebtide.

All the dead episodes, I specialize in the dead episodes.

Did you specialize in the dead episodes?

Oh, it sort of turned out that way.
