Everyone get in the conference room, the podcast has a new org chart. Producer Brent is at the top, directly beneath him are hosts Matt & Vince, and right below them is this week’s guest, host of Dopey podcast, Dave Manheim, who is here to talk about Mad Men season three episode six, “Guy Walks into an Advertising Agency.”
The big swinging knobs from Putnam, Powell, and Lowe show are shaking things up in the Sterling Cooper office. First, they have a pretty new org chart that commits an act of Roger Sterling erasure, then they prank Lane with a promotion that would move him to Bombay, and and as a coup de grace, a guy named Guy gets his foot mangled by a brand new John Deere lawn mower that someone let Lois drive in the office.
It’s also supposed to be Joan’s last day at the office, but it turns out her handsome doctor husband is not only an r-wordist, he’s also not a great doctor. Not good enough to get the promotion they were counting on to get her out of the workforce.

Had my daughters sweet 16 party today and none of the 29 year old men I invited showed up

I don't think Hooker is gay. Right after Guy gets his foot massacred, Hooker reacts with lipstick all over his face in the same shade as the secretary next to him who also has lipstick all over her face. Took me a few rewatches to even notice it.

First time re-watching this episode after a dozen years in advertising. Unfortunately the sudden re-org meeting is still all too familiar.
