Mad Yourself A Man 313: Shut the Door. Have a Seat, with Katrina Davis
🕑 Added 2025-11-21 11:00:12 +0000 UTCA Christmas Miracle for the Guys who Invented the Concept of Christmas Miracles
Shut the door. Have a seat. We have some bad news. This is the last episode of this season of the pod. We also have some good news. Comedian Katrina Davis returns to talk to Matt & Vince about Mad Men season three episode thirteen, “Shut the Door. Have a Seat.”
It’s nearly Christmas ‘63 and those bastards at McCann Erickson are buying Putnam, Powell, Lowe, Sterling & Cooper. Why? So they can be McCann, Erickson, Putnam, Powell, Lowe, Sterling, & Cooper? Sounds more like a lacrosse roster than an advertising agency. Don has no choice but to make Lane fire him so he can round up an alcoholic ad man superteam and poach as many clients as possible on the way out. It’s like Ocean’s Eleven, but with more paperwork.
What can’t the guy do? Maintain a marriage. While all that’s going on, Betty prepares to fly Reno with Henry because the only grounds for divorce in New York at the time were absence of a spouse, incurable insanity, life imprisonment, or adultery. She could have caught him on that last one but whoopsy, she’s an adulterer too.

yes, people definitely thought Ari Onassis was a downgrade.

I think Don is telling Peggy that most people are like them that something happens to take away their innocence, so they buy things in an effort to regain it. And she gets how to sell that

It’s also sad, knowing how Price’s story goes, how much he undervalues himself. He could have gotten five figures from Cooper and Sterling each. I think he was just exhilarated to be of value and one of the boys.

Could we join ICE, like, ironically?

when Don says "you're little white nose in the air" it's not racial, it's moral. Like the old phrase "that's mighty white of you" the term white being christian/moral/gracious etc.. but obviously racism especially american christian racism makes it hard to parse.. and as Meadow taught us in Soprano sometimes white mean deth very confuse
