Danny PellegrinoHOST
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Everything Iconic with me, Danny Paladino.
Danny PellegrinoHOST
That was our dearly, uh, beloved Cher, the one and only Cher, singing the Golden Girls theme song and saying, "Thank you for being a friend." And I wanted to play that at the top of the episode today because I'd like to start off this podcast thanking The Real Housewives of Orange County for being a friend to us for all these years.
Danny PellegrinoHOST
It's the 20th season, and I was so excited to recap the 20th season here on Everything Iconic.
Danny PellegrinoHOST
Uh, unfortunately, we are bidding them adieu because, um, uh, I have no other way to say this, but the season has been such a flop to me.
IainHOST
Yes.
GerryHOST
Uh, Beauty and the Beast, Universal Soldier, Out for Justice, The Golden Girls, FX, Kojak.
GerryHOST
West 53rd Street in Manhattan has been named Jerry Orbach Way.
GerryHOST
He held or hold the record for the most musical performances of any living actor, so he held that 'cause he's not living anymore.
GerryHOST
Obviously not.
GerryHOST
Alma was played by Marjorie Nelson.
GerryHOST
You may have seen her in The Golden Girls, Inside Out, Legs, Murder by Natural Causes, which was a Lincoln Livingston movie.
GerryHOST
In fact, the description of it sounds brilliant.
Melanie VartabedianGUEST
And then I do think that obviously... fine, say cosmetic work or whatever, but we really didn't have a concept.
Melanie VartabedianGUEST
When you think about how old the Golden Girls were, what are we
Scott YoungbauerHOST
doing?
Melanie VartabedianGUEST
I thought they were in their 70s.
35 MINS LATER
Scott YoungbauerHOST
it could be a line from The Godfather or it could be a line from Sofia Petrillo.
Scott YoungbauerHOST
Yes.
Scott YoungbauerHOST
On The Golden Girls,
Melanie VartabedianGUEST
too.
ChristopherHOST
And she had a nice little hair flip.
ChristopherHOST
And then we saw her again in the Golden Girls that they do every year.
ChristopherHOST
And she did a great job in that.
ChristopherHOST
So, okay, I'll put her at...
Amp SomersHOST
Pause, pause, pause.
Amp SomersHOST
The Golden Girls, they do a stage show here in San Francisco.
Amp SomersHOST
They do a stage Christmas Golden Girls.
Amp SomersHOST
Yeah, people might not know that.
Mike KlaussHOST
She played Helen Roper's sister on a number of episodes of The Ropers.
Mike KlaussHOST
I saw her recently on an episode of The Golden Girls.
Mike KlaussHOST
I think she played Sophia's sister.
Mike KlaussHOST
'Cause I do remember seeing her on an episode, uh, r- again, reasonably recently.
Dennis HensleyHOST
I think that's great.
Dennis HensleyHOST
But you were also obsessed with old people and the golden girls.
Dennis HensleyHOST
Did you literally write three term papers on golden girls?
Elliot GlazerGUEST
Yeah, I did.
Elliot GlazerGUEST
Oh, you started all about B.
Elliot GlazerGUEST
Pretty much.
Elliot GlazerGUEST
I mean, my parents, you know, they still are like, you know, we sent you to NYU so you could basically major in the Golden Girls.
Elliot GlazerGUEST
I found my way into classes where I could write about it in a scholarly way or at least scholarly.

Derek KageGUEST
But I definitely, you know, my natural instinct is to be just quick with it.
Derek KageGUEST
I also grew up on like Golden Girls.
Derek KageGUEST
Oh.
Derek KageGUEST
And I would see how they talked to each other and they would laugh at each other after like throwing a jab or throwing some sort of, you know, like a quick-witted response.
Derek KageGUEST
loved it.
Derek KageGUEST
I loved the reactions and how they spoke to each other.
Derek KageGUEST
So a lot of it I think is Golden Girls-ish.
Christy LoveHOST
Wow.
Chaney180HOST
So yeah.
AugiePANELIST
By the way, you guys joke, but do you know that I actually have had this discussion with Junior and like two other friends that have really cool toy collections and just being like, hey, let's do a Golden Girls situation and get our own place and we'll combine all, we'll have one master collection that we all can share.
AugiePANELIST
I mean, that'd be great.
AugiePANELIST
That'd be Sean as well, but.
Ben ShephardGUEST
I think I'm right in saying this, some amazing...
Ben ShephardGUEST
You can check, you can get someone to check this, but I think the cast of Sex and the City are older than the cast of The Golden Girls when The Golden Girls was first filmed.
Jenni FalconerHOST
Oh, really?
Ben ShephardGUEST
And we all think about The Golden Girls as being the golden generation.
Jenni FalconerHOST
Yeah.
Ben ShephardGUEST
And yet the girls from Sex and the City, who are s- sexy, cool girls that were going around New York having an amazing time, they were older than them.
