*Drumroll... * We had the absolutely amazing Marc Cherry (Golden Girls writer/producer, Desperate Housewives creator, Why Women Kill on CBS All Access) on the Golden Girls podcast!!! We sat in the beautiful pool house in Marc's home in Los Angeles and chatted about his time working for The Golden Girls. It was a nostalgic, engaging fun time and we learned many things about the actresses, his life struggling to make it as a writer and the thrills & phenomena that is the Golden Girls cult following. Long live the Golden Girls! Music by Mike Dennison (@mikd33) and Brian Kokernak (@kokernutz).

Interview With Golden Girls Writer Marc Cherry

We watched the Golden Girls' performance for the Queen of England during the 1988 Royal Variety Performance overseas. We gathered round once again and invited, friend of the show, Sari Beliak (@thecrassceiling, The Onion, Reductress) and Courtney Wahlstrom (@bonecrusherqueen, The Bro Show, Big Pine Comedy Festival) the Genevieve's house to talk all about the Golden Girls' visit to the London Palladium Theatre. It was something completely new to us, strange but befitting. It was a great time!!! Listen, follow, more to come! Music by Mike Dennison (@mikd33) and Brian Kokernak (@kokernutz).

We are back for this very special episode of TyFBaP with the most amazing human ever, the insightful Tony Tripoli (@TonyTripoli, E!'s Fashion Police with Joan Rivers, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List)! We watched the Golden Girls TV special filmed 11 years after the series ended in 2003 with the most awkward interviews from the cast, all except Sophia. It was The Room of TV specials, amazing AND terrible. Just listen to our recap and also the special is on YouTube... we really let it all out about so many things. We talked about Blanche's intervention, drunk dialing the cast & crew and sexual harassment pranks on set. Music by Mike Dennison (@mikd33) and Brian Kokernak (@kokernutz).
