WELCOME TO EPISODE 28 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls and we end each episode with a fully researched deep dive into something from the Golden Girls universe!

In Season 2, Episode 3, Dorothy has hit her dating stride just in time for Stan to need her by his side. So, smartly, Dorothy dumps depressed Stan on Blanche, but then Dorothy can't handle it when Blanche and Stand actually hit it off! Shenanigans ensue when Rose and Sophia go into the sandwich making business. Say it with us, "BACON, LETTUCE, POTATO."

For this week's deep dive, Jenn is telling us all about the fascinating and heartbreaking life and career of the late great Joan Rivers!
