That Funny Feeling

This week’s episode of the pod will give you the flush and glow not only that you might have after hours of exercise, but certainly as a young girl. Isn’t it nice to feel that way whenever you want? Writer, comedian, & JonBenét Ramsey case scholar Ashley Ray joins Matt & Vince to discuss Mad Men season one episode eleven, “Indian Summer.”

Before there were door-to-door solar panel salesmen trying to sleep with our wives, there were door-to-door air conditioning salesmen trying to sleep with our wives. So you can imagine how pissed Don is when betty lets one of these lechers into his home. The nerve of this woman to let another man into Don Draper’s home while Don is busy supporting his family and/or sleeping with Rachel Menken – the sheer gall. 

But hey the gals have needs too, which is why Peggy gets an assignment to write copy for a new female masturbatory aid disguised as an exercise aid. She gets a raise and a new sex toy. Not a bad day at the office for ol’ Peg.

And Twiiiiins

The only thing better than a long weekend spent philandering is listening to this week’s episode of the pod with Desi Jedeikin from the Hollywood Crime Scene Podcast joining Matt & Vince to break down season one episode ten of Mad Men, “Long Weekend.”

Don loses the Dr. Scholls account, so Roger, in an attempt to cheer Don up and satiate his own pervy needs, pulls some twins auditioning for an aluminum siding ad into the office for some drinks and horseplay. He can’t convince them to kiss each other, but he does get one of them to nearly bang him to death. 

After rushing a heart-attacked Roger to the hospital and administering 50 ccs of slap to the face, Don realizes how fragile life is and how he should cherish and respect his wife. Lol yeah right, he goes to Rachel Mencken’s house to use Roger’s near-death experience as a pick up tactic. You know what they say, when God closes an account, he opens a mistress.

She Was a Model, You Know.

This week’s guest may not be familiar with Mad Men, but she’s no stranger to podding herself. iHeart Podcasts Executive Producer and returning guest Anna Hossnieh joins Matt & Vince to talk about season one episode nine, “Shoot.” 

After bumping into each other at a Broadway show about Fiorello La Guardia (yes that was a real show) an exec from a rival ad agency, Jim Hobart, tries to lure Don away from Sterling Cooper to the “big leagues” by promising Betty a modeling job for Coca-Cola (she was a model, she reminds everyone throughout the episode). Don turns down the offer, causing Jim to pull Betty from the gig, so she shoots her neighbor’s pigeons. The 60’s: it was a wild time, man. 

Back at the office, Pete remembers a dog funeral he attended in college, which directly leads to Sterling Cooper buying a bunch of ad space for laxatives to thwart JFK. The 60’s: it was a wild time, man.

We’re Going to Get High and Listen to a Podcast

You don’t have to spark up a doobie with your beatnik friends to enjoy the latest MYAM, but it probably won’t hurt. Matt and Vince invite the host of Dopey Podcast, David Manheim, to talk about Mad Men season one episode eight, “The Hobo Code.”

If you’ve seen Mad Men, you might remember this as the episode where Don gets baked as a kite and remembers the time a hobo who looked like Father Intentola came to visit his family’s dirt farm. Don remembers that his dad is a dishonest man, so he goes home all red-eyed and wakes up his son like, “I’m Don Draper, AMA. I’ll never lie to you.” Stupid little kid doesn’t even think to ask what Don’s real name is.

Meanwhile, Peggy thinks for a second she can have it all. She’s hooking up with an ad man, her Belle Jolie campaign is a hit, and she gets to celebrate over a drink with the boys, and dance with her coworkers. Pete has to go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like, “I don’t like you like this.” It’s maybe the only time you’ll see someone slut-shamed for doing The Twist.

Sissy with a Chip-and-Dip

Matherton might have the clap, but this week we have co-host and producer of the Blowback Podcast, Brendan James joining Matt & Vince to discuss Mad Men season one episode seven, “Red in the Face.”

Fellas, don’t you hate it when your wife sends you to the store to return a chip-and-dip (you got two), and then gets all mad at you for using the store credit to buy a gun? Pete Campbell sure does, but at least he got to wave the gun around a crowded office before Trudy lit him up at home. 

Elsewhere, Roger gets lit up enough at Don’s home to make a pass at Betty. Fellas, don’t you hate it when your wife is polite enough to your drunk boss that he has no choice but to sexually harass her? Don sure does, but at least he gets his revenge by getting Roger to puke up a pile of oysters in front of the RNC.

Shouldn’t You Pod the Promised Land?

You may remember when this week’s guest from when she podded herself a gun or podded herself a wire, but today for the first time ever, comedian Katrina Davis joins Matt & Vince to mad herself a man and discuss Mad Men season one episode six, “Babylon.”

Sterling Cooper has a new potential client, the Israeli Board of Tourism, so Don spends the entire episode talking about Israel like he thinks he’s Matt Lieb or something. 

The other new client, Belle Jolie lipstick, brings a bucket of samples and the gals around the office generate a pile of lipstick-smattered tissues, or as Peggy calls it, a “basket full of kisses.” A turn of phrase so clever it makes Freddy Rumsen wonder if a woman could be capable of having thoughts.

Did it All for the Newkie

Writer and Pod Yourself a friend, Laremy Legel joins Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season one episode five, “5G.”

Don’t worry, the title of the episode is a reference to a hotel room number in the episode, not the secret government plan to make you gay. Don’s half brother, Adam Whitman comes to visit after seeing Don’s photo in Advertising Age after he wins a Newkie Award. At first Don is like, lol I dunno what you’re talking about bro, then he’s like, okay it me, Dick, but I’m glad your mom is dead and I don’t want to be your freakin’ bro, bro. It’s cold, almost as cold as a Vermont morning, which is the setting for a short story Cosgrove gets published in The Atlantic, driving the rest of the ad boys crazy with jealousy.

Kids These Days 

On the pod this week, our guest is a copywriter who wears suits, so he’s basically Don Draper. Comedian and podcaster Allen Strickland Williams joins Matt and Vince to talk about Mad Men season one episode four, “New Amsterdam.”

You listen to the podcast because it’s good. Because it feels better than unbuttoning your collar. Because you deserve it. You listen to the podcast because it’s what piggies do, but I want you to be very clear about this, you were banned from the Patreon. I wanted you out, Allen wanted you out, and you would be, if it weren’t for Matt and Vince. They thought you deserved another chance. Now, I know your generation went to college instead of serving, so I’ll illuminate you, these men are your commanding officers. You live and die in their shadows. Listen to the episode, meet the perfect little pervert Glen, and the disgusting big pervert from Bethlehem Steel, and don’t let Matt & Vince down.    

We’ll give you a lock of Matt’s hair if you leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.

He’s Not Dick Whitman, He’s a Dickwit, Man

You know him, you love his deep voice, Brendan from the Frotcast is on the pod this week to talk to Matt and Vince about Mad Men season one episode three, “The Marriage of Figaro.”

Slimy Pete Campbell returns from his honeymoon in Niagara to find that those cads at Sterling Cooper have played a devious prank, putting a Chinese-American family (not the words they use) in his office! Jim Halpert could never. It’s a source of constant amusement for the office. No one does racist quips better than a bunch of 60s copywriters.

The Mystery of Don’s second identity unravels a tiny bit more when a Korean war buddy on the train calls him Dick Whitman. If you’ve seen the whole show already, you're like, yeah yeah he’s not Don Draper, he’s Dick Whitman, but if this is your first time watching, you’re like, lol who names their kid Dick Whitman?

The Ladies are in the Room and They’re Going Mad, Man

Pour yourself a big glass of rye and stop spying on your wife through her psychiatrist because comedian, host of the Oh Hell Yeah podcast, handsome devil, and producer of Mad Yourself a Man, Brent Flyberg joins Matt & Vince to dissect Mad Men season one episode two of Mad Men, “Ladies Room.”

As noted on the pod, the second episode is often the worst episode of any tv show. “Ladies Room” is no exception. Don’t get me wrong, it still looks good, and Don says some funny stuff like “Who is this moron flying around in space? He pisses his pants,” but also Paul is saying nonsense like, “that drape is sadder than a map.” Maps are sad? What kind of commie babble is that, Kinsey?

It’s kind of a Betty episode – she’s having panic attacks and almost killing her kids in a car accident because she saw a divorced woman. She was out there just walking around like some kind of human being. Can you imagine?
