Welcome to Out on the Lanai, the only Golden Girls podcast you're ever going to need to listen to.

I am H. Allen Scott slash Sadie Pines.

And I'm Carrie Doherty.

And this is a podcast where we used to watch an episode of the Golden Girls and then talk about it, but we ran out of episodes.

And then we broke down all 24 episodes of the spin-off, the Golden Palace, but we ran out of those episodes too!

So now we're super excited to bring you golden topics, which is where we talk about our own life experiences that tie into the stories of the Golden Girls.

Sometimes we'll have a guest on, and sometimes it'll just be carry an eye, which, you know,

of course, we're fun, but it will always be golden. Yes. And I'm so excited for our very first

episode of Golden Topics. You're all going to hear a really great conversation that we had with

Gabrielle and Paula V of the What Are Friends for

podcast, which is also on the Who Huffa Network. So like there is synergy happening. So much synergy.

Every time I hear the name of their podcast, I always think of the song by Bet Midler, but you got

to have friends. Oh, see, because I think of that's what friends are for. Oh, that's a good one too. I like to keep it up tempo. Sure, absolutely. The what are friends, like the, or you gotta have friends. It's like a fun walking song. You know what I mean?

It's like, oh, it's a very good walking song. You're out walking and you're like, you're right. Yeah, I got to have friends. But actually, on the original album, which the 50th anniversary of that album is this year, is November of this year. And there are two versions of it. One that is very uptempo and fun. and one that is actually quite sad.

Yeah. of it, one that is very up tempo and fun, and one that is actually quite sad.

Yeah.

I know.
