Summary

CHEESECAKES! Come see Patrick on tour! CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! 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 2 Episode 24, it's a VERY SPECIAL GUEST STAR ALERT, as a pre-"ER" George Clooney makes an appearance as a young cop staking out the girls' next door neighbors. Shockingly, Blanche doesn't flirt one bit with young George (did she tire of younger men after Dirk?), but sparks fly between Dorothy and Al, the veteran officer. Shenanigans ensue when the ladies get roped into the sting for a dinner party with the neighbors they'll never forget! Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. All of our sources can be found on our website.

0:20.1	I'm so good since I found you.
0:22.6	The heat of the summer.
0:25.6	It is high summer season.
0:27.6	I'm not about it.
0:28.6	No?
0:29.6	I'm not about the heat.
0:30.6	So many people I know have heat stroke or have gotten it.

0:34.6	Or heat exhaustion.
0:35.6	I have been saying all winter that I'm not going to
0:37.6	complain about the summer. I wanted to be 200 degrees, 1 million percent humidity, and so far
0:42.3	summer is giving. Yeah. I don't know how people do it. Her little people who are like,
0:46.8	I'm just not going to turn on the air. I know. Mrs. Seinfeld, for the love of God.
0:52.3	Well, here we are. We are closing in on the end of season two. I cannot believe it. Can you? Season two, episode 24, already is upon us. I'm so excited. We love this episode. We do. Look, George Clooney was real early in his career. And it shows. It shows. I'm going to say it now since you've segued so beautifully. But that 80s hair, those bangs are, you could braid those bangs. I know. And I'm surprised that Blanche doesn't. Well, I know. As his mother. She's giving mother energy. But I'm a genuine mother, not sexual mother. Not sexual mother, which is, we'll get there when we get there. But that's a little strange to me. I think that's a little disingenuous to the character. Do we remember Dirk, everyone? No, we'll get there. Nearly five younger's than her mother. All right. So, where are we talking about, Patrick? So we're season two, episode 24.
