For Your Consideration

The sun is out, which means it's a good day to visit the waterpark! On this week's episode, the guys are joined by returning friend of the show, Cáit Murphy, who brings some Mad Men (Matthew Weiner, 2007-2015) with her into the Diving Pool. In Splash Zone, Peter is driven into a frenzy by Taylor Swift's catnip of an album, Folklore; Joey gives an ode to the Berlin bar scene (in Germany, not in D2) and Connor goes wild for (Saskia Rosendahl-starring) Babylon Berlin (Henk Handloegten, Tom Tykwer and Achim von Borries, 2017- ). All of these wet 'n' wild treats, plus a glimpse into childhood career insights in Olympic Freestyle, and you finally get to find out the answer to What Will You Put Your Sausage In?

Follow Cáit on Instagram for updates about her film, She Talks in the Afternoon, which premiered last week at LiftOffGlobalNetwork's First-time Filmmaker Sessions.

SPOILER WARNING: we dive deep with Mad Men in this episode, but speak generally about the show for the most part. If you want to avoid plot spoilers, skip past 25:55-27:32 and 29:47-30:05.
