Mad Man House
Gareth Reynolds of The Dollop, Past Times and We’re Here to Help is here to help Matt & Vince process the season one finale of Mad Men, episode 13, “The Wheel.”
To paraphrase Vince’s off-the-dome episode synopsis: Peggy’s got a tummy ache so bad she has to give birth, Betty goes spy-mode on Don after Francine learns her husband is cheating, and Pete’s father-in-law really wants Pete to rawdog Trudy. On top of all that, Kodak has re-invented the wheel and needs Don to convince America to buy one.
A new viewer, Gareth gets introduced to almost every important character, including Marten Holden Weiner’s Glen character. Glen might not know how long fifteen minutes is, but he knows how to capture the hearts of even the most jaded podcaster.

Mad Yourself A Man 112: Nixon vs. Kennedy, with Rachel Fisher
Who Cares?
The results are in: The next podcast you listen to will be this one, with Rachel Fisher from the Hollywood Crime Scene podcast returning to talk to Matt & Vince about Mad Men season one episode twelve, “Nixon vs. Kennedy.”
The rank and file at Sterling Cooper throw a little party to watch the results of the Nixon/ Kennedy election roll in and it has all the trappings of a 60s office party: jugs of creme de menthe, the staged reading of a one-act play, and, of course, rampant sexual harassment.
This is also the episode where we learn just what happened to old Dick Whitman in Korea. He pissed himself to death in a fiery explosion and Don Draper rose from the cigarette ashes. Pete doesn’t know all the details, but that doesn’t stop him from tattling to the boss that Don isn’t who he says he is. But this is America, so Burt Cooper is like, lol who cares? This guy could be named Dick Foreskin and have bodies buried in his backyard as long as he keeps making me money.

This week, comedian/haberdasher Jason Webb joins the Frotboiz to discuss natural disasters, Trump, and why he doesn’t trust his crawl space. Matt shares the riveting tale of a periwinkle blue corduroy hat he wore this one time.
Next up, Elon Musk is ruining all the potential whimsy of a second Trump administration. If there’s one thing the public has been clamoring for, it’s to let the senile mummies in charge of our country cook!
We also listen to a clip of Trump finally realizing his true calling of becoming a catty Broadway producer via a hostile government takeover of the Kennedy Center. BOFFO BARRON BLOWS UP BOND MARKET!
Finally, we wrap up with a discussion of this week’s shocking Jew-on-Jew crime in Florida. This antisemitism stuff has gone too far!!! At least we can take solace in the fact that neither perpetrator nor victim will learn a single fucking thing from all this.
