WELCOME TO 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 3 episode 10, everyone's favorite a**hole is back: Dorothy's ex-husband Stan. But don't worry, he has great news - he and Dorothy are being AUDITED!!! Shenanigans ensue when Rose signs up to learn Spanish and Blanche tags along to meet men (of course!). But Dorothy and Stan are truly the ones speaking a different language about how to handle the tax assessment they suddenly face.
