I’ve got it.  It’s the perfect pitch… It’s June in New York.  A man is wildly tapdancing in front of his boss.  A mysterious man named Ed knowingly shoots a man with a history of heart problems full of amphetamines.  The amphetamines are the desire in each of us to make a pass at Peggy.  And the tapdancing?  F****d if I know!

What did you say to me?  That’s right, you said “I need a Mad Men podcast and only the Happy Hour will do”.  Now you’re going to undress and listen to this episode.  I don’t care that you’re at work.  You exist in your office for my pleasure.  You’ll listen to this podcast and stay where you are until I return with another.  If you’ve been paying attention, you can probably guess when that will be…  but you’re not allowed to guess.  This is over when I say it’s over.

Indianapolis, IN. May 7th, 2013. For immediate release. Bald Move would like to announce a merger between comedy and insight that we’re calling Mad Men Happy Hour.  This joining of forces will allow us to cover a variety of topics including the future of SCDP, the consistency of junkie poop and the biggest, blackest hooker you’ve ever seen. Expect greatness.

What does it take to get Jim to do hours of research on the history of race in America?  A damned fine episode of Mad Men, that’s what.  And what does it take to get him to make dick jokes with his co-host for the last third of a podcast?  That same episode of Mad Men, apparently.

Come with me on a quick tour of the Pete Pit, what some consider the tenth circle of hell. On your left you’ll see Don “The Cheater” Draper.  Not only does he have the insolence to call his wife a whore, but he possesses the gall to immediately then sleep with his mistress. On your right, Pete “GLP” Campbell, the man who puts the “Grimy”, “Little” and “Pimp” in “Grimy Little Pimp”.  His heinous acts are well known and bear no repeating, beside being unfit for any audience. And in the...

The Coca-Cola of podcasts is back for another week of analysis, this time with even more off-putting characters.  We discuss how well Don compartmentalizes his affairs, dub Pete’s apartment in the city, and stumble through the 2nd circle of hell.

Dante would have you believe that there are 9 circles of hell.  With the help of Matt Weiner however, Jim and A.Ron have uncovered a 10th, even more heinous circle known as the two-and-a-half-hour podcast.  There’s plenty of discussion about Roger’s couch sessions, the cyclical nature of Don’s life and Stan’s glorious new beard.

Well people, it’s been fun.  We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve said good bye to several characters, some more permanently than others.  In this episode of the Happy Hour, we part ways with Mad Men after another phenomenal season, as we cover the finale episode “The Phantom”.  We talk Pete’s unhappiness, Megan’s treachery, Don’s rot problem, and Peggy’s “supreme happiness”.  And as always, feedback and thoughts from our all-star cast of listeners and fellow fans. Thanks again for all your...

Jim and A.Ron mourn the death of decent man in this week’s podcast, featuring our complete coverage of the penultimate episode of Mad Men season five, “Commissions and Fees”.  A decent, thieving, book cooking man, which by SCDP standards makes him something of a Saint.  Somber as the subject matter is, you know we’ll find a way to have at least a little bit of fun with it.

Jim and A.Ron break down episode 509 of Mad Men, “Dark Shadows”.  In which we’re treated to multi-generational Draper bitchface, multi-cultural prejudice, and poison clouds of gas.  It probably didn’t originate from Betty, but we can’t really be sure.

Jim and A.Ron break down episode 508 of Mad Men, “Lady Lazarus”.  We have a feeling Pete will need a lot more than a cat’s nine lives to make it out of this season alive!  No psychorock goes unturned as we examine entitlement, misogyny, daddy issues, and the size of Harry’s yang.

“At the Codfish Ball” was a solid Mad Men episode, and we tear right into it in this podcast.  Everyone comes away disappointed in this episode… Don finds out he’s an advertising pariah, Sally learns that adults are unbelievably gross, Megan learns that even when life is at it’s best, maybe it’s not all that good, Roger is better bagging French MILFs than new business, and A.Ron learns that alcohol can actually kill crucial brain cells in the span of an 80 minute podcast.  Hope you guys and...

Turn on, tune in, and drop out with Jim and A.Ron as we cover the trippy, spacey, and all around awesome hour of television that is Mad Men episode 506, “Far Away Places”.  We reflect upon Peggy unleashing her inner Don (and a teaspoon or so of man essence), Roger and Jane being alone in the truth, Coop body checking Don into the glass, and the de-evolution of Don and Megan’s marriage.  Not only that, but we consider some of the best fan feedback on the internet, all from you, our wonderfully...
