Pod Yourself A Gun - A Rewatch Podcast

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.

Mad Yourself A Man 108: The Hobo Code, with Dave From Dopey

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.

Mad Yourself A Man 110: Long Weekend, with Desi Jedeikin

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.
