Memorable Quotes:
“I'm glad we can use the Golden Girls as an example, especially since their legacy remains strong despite the fact that everyone who truly knew them is no longer with us. Their impact continues to be felt, even as the original audience has passed away.” [00:26:30] – Larry Ulibarri
“It kind of makes you mad if you're the person that buys your tags and you know, you're kind of going by the rules. Then you're like, well, maybe I don't have to go by the rules. It's frustrating to see others not following the rules and getting away with it. You start questioning the fairness and whether you should stick to the rules yourself.” [00:18:32] – Larry Ulibarri
