Summary

WELCOME THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls. Along the way, we sprinkle in researched deep dives into something from the episode or The Golden Girls universe!

In Season 3 Episode 2, our ladies are in the middle of their latest money-making scheme: wedding catering, which they have absolutely no prior experience with except for the old working song (sing along, Cheesecakes!), "Gonna stuff a chicken! Like my momma taught me!" Shenanigans ensue when the girls recall other attempts they had to make money, like the time they competed against each other in a dance marathon, pitting roommate against roommate (against stunt double) against roommate!

Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. All of our sources can be found on our website. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok at @GoldenGirlsDeepDive

Tell me about it. I got to tell you. I just went to the artist walk on the Thames. It was not on my list of things to do. It was stunning and gorgeous and fun. And I had a great time. One of the most memorable things I've done in the city of London. So what is on the artist's walk? It's like a garden and it's right on the Thames and it's beautiful. It took my breath away. Aw. Yeah. You take my breath.

Directed by Terry Hughes, original air date, September 26, that's my mom's birthday, 1987. My mom probably had, that might have been before she got sober, so she probably had a great birthday that day. Well, we open with the blue sedan speeding up the driveway, the car door opens, Scooby-Doo must be driving. I love it so much because we know that Rose isn't driving this time. So she lent her car to somebody because we opened in the kitchen. Rose is massacring this magazine at the kitchen table. And I was going to ask you, I'm like, is she doing that actress busy work? Why is she so in, like, she's really ripping that magazine apart? Well, she rips out a page. She wants to save something apparently. She's going to fold it up and put it in that blue and white dress that she's wearing. Blanche and Dorothy entered. Dorothy is carrying a pizza. I just love this so much. They say, Hi, Rose.
