Download MP3S1 E1: In Deep. We made it to the first proper episode of Baywatch! While mostly a nothing episode of the show, quality wise, it does serve as a firm establishment of the relationship between Mitch and Hobie that is a fantastic highlight of this season. It's quite the odd choice for a first episode going just on quality but all of our key players are introduced.

Episode discussion starts @02:43. Post-episode discussion @01:05:44.
Assorted Show Notes:
Yes, we address next episode how Michael keeps calling Erika Eleniak "Erina" this entire episode.
@01:25 The theme song for season 1 (and only season 1) is "Save Me" by Peter Cetera. In non-Amazon Prime re-airings of this season, the theme song is the very different "Above the Waterline" (also called "Overboard") by Kim Carnes. For the Amazon Prime remaster, they use the season 2 (and onward) theme song of "I'm Always Here" by Jimi Jamison. For the rest of season 1, Michael will be watching the Amazon Prime remaster, featuring "I'm Always Here", while Morgan is watching the original version, featuring "Save Me".
@01:56 The band Sugar, lead by Bob Mould, released their debut album Copper Blue in 1992. In 1989 (1 week after the pilot movie aired), Bob Mould would release his first solo album "Workbook". This was a mostly folk rock album, which was quite different from his previous work heading the legendary Post-Hardcore and Hardcore Punk band Hüsker Dü.
@16:40 There are "songwriting camps" where a bunch of people get together and write songs. This infamous Vulture article details how these camps write songs for artists such as Rihanna.
@23:10 Please feel free to browse the Wikipedia article for Celebrity Fit Club so you too can immerse yourself in how Hollywood tried to commoditize guilt and fat-shaming based weight loss programs.

@52:36 On the 22nd of September, 1989 (when this episode was aired), the U.S. Dollar to Japanese Yen exchange rate was 1 USD = 145.5 JPY. This means that 5000 Yen would have been worth 34.36 USD, even less than Mitch and Craig's closet by the beach.
