Hello, Mother.

Hello, Papa, bonjour.

Hello, cheesecakes.

Oh, it's so nice to see you. It is my pleasure. Even though you're not a ride or die of mine. I love being. Why are we starting with hatred? Why are you choosing violence? You did. This is the second time. We've been together for half an hour. This is the second time you brought up that, you know,

she's going to go out and spend

some time with her ride or dies in the next couple of weeks. And I'm not invited because I ain't one. Well, maybe we can talk about it in the Facebook group, which is what, Patrick. It's the Golden Girls Deep Dive podcast discussion group on the Facebook. Yes, or you can follow us on the socials on TikTok and Instagram at Golden Girls Deepdive.

You definitely should do that because we make very, well, not we, but Aaron makes very funny videos of our very funny moments. There was, for example, when we found out that I was not a ride or dad that I threw my headphones off, ran out and gave you the bird, mother. I flipped the bird at mother. I was so upset. I was so mad. You know, and I applied Mel Robbins, let them theory. Yeah. I was like, let them. Have you seen there's this gang on TikTok who's doing the don't let them theory? Anytime you hear about somebody doing something you don't like, just fucking call and read a bitch. Just call and read a bitch if you don't like it. You know, I do the don't let them theory. Don't let them. It's the don't let them theory.

That's funny. Can call and read a bitch. Just call and read a bitch if you don't like it. You know, I do the don't let them.

Don't let them. It's the don't let them theory. That's hilarious. Oh, well, speaking of maybe hilarious. You want to tell them what we're doing today?

Cheesecakes. This is season three, episode seven. It's called Strange Bedfellows. Yes. I don't really understand the title about the show.

No, me either. Yeah. Anyway, we'll get there. It's written by Christopher Lloyd, directed by Terry Hughes.

Yes. And it aired originally on November 7, 1987. I got to tell you, my bestie Adam in London, he's, you know, they're five hours ahead. So I start my work on this at four in the

morning. Yeah. Adam started texting me the second I sat down on my computer. He hates this episode so much. And I should say, Adam's got the bona fides. He is a real true golden girls officianto. Okay. And season three in general doesn't do it for him, especially this episode. I think Adam makes very good points. I texted you.

Adam comes with the receipts. Like he got on the Reddit. He fed out there's like a whole community of people who don't like this. And he's got the reasons why we'll explain later. Excellent. Well, I have a major cultural event, mini-diddy, if you want to hear about it. Please. I'd love to hear it. So in the week of November 1st to

November 7th, and as we said, this aired on November 7th of 1987, we had the former Beatles,

George Harrison and Paul McCartney, both releasing some musac. Okay. George released Cloud 9.

Yeah. And Paul McCartney released his album all the best, his greatest hits album. Yeah. But I want to talk about Cloud 9. Sure. I remember this album very, very well. Would you call it a ride or die? Yeah, I would. You would? I would. Deserted Island, one of those albums. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's the 11th studio album by George Harrison.

Okay. It was released in 1987 after Harrison had taken a five-year hiatus from his career as a

solo artist. Yeah. In the decade prior to releasing Cloud 9, apparently George was frustrated

with the music industry and he'd been in a self-imposed semi-retirement. Okay. In 1979, he told Rolling Stones Mick Brown, quote, I stay home and dig. Not so much with a spade, but I dig the garden. Okay. Putting trees in. I like gardens. I like the pleasure they give you. It's like a meditation in a way. You can get everything out of your mind groveling in

the soil. I spent a lot of time with the wife and the baby. Must be nice to be a millionaire. You know what I mean? It must be nice to just be able to do that, George. I'm just going to say, he earned it, though. I think they earned it. Yeah. I mean, the Beatles, give me a break. So great. But this cloud nine represented a major comeback for him, apparently.

It was his first number one American hit in 16 years. So great. But this Cloud 9 represented a major comeback for him, apparently.
