Last week, we paid tribute to Sal Romano's final appearance on Mad Men, so this week we had on Bryan Batt, the actor who plays Sal to talk about all things Mad Men! The best part might be the fact that Will had no idea Bryan was going to be on the show going in, so you get to hear his actual reaction to suddenly seeing Sal himself in the recording studio. Bryan answered all of our questions, even the silly ones, including his head canon for what Sal might've done in the universe of the show after Sterling Cooper, what he would like for a "Better Call Sal" spinoff, the possibility of a Mad Men revival, and plenty more.

Sorry we're late with this episode, we were out picking up peaches and smelling the oranges. That's right, this week we're discussing Episode 4 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "The Arrangements." As we point out, this is a big episode for characters with "Sal" in their name, and if you happen to coincidentally be a massive Jai Alai fan.

We'll give you five dollars if you listen to the latest episode of the Mad Men Men podcast. The only catch, though, is we're going to immediately steal it back. That's right, this week we're discussing Episode 3 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "My Old Kentucky Home." An episode so spicy, it gets a disclaimer at the beginning if you're watching the digital version. The workers of Sterling Cooper are attending a garden party with some questionable entertainment choices. Young Sally's crime spree continues at the expense of Grandpa Gene and especially Carla.

We don't like what we've been saying lately, so we're changing the conversation. That's right, we're back this week to discuss Episode 2 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "Love Among the Ruins." This is an episode all about replacing the old with the new, whether it's the sound of Ann Margaret's voice selling you Diet Pepsi or Peggy doing something new. Having sex! Well, almost. Elsewhere in the Mad Men universe, we see Don going toe-to-toe with one of his oldest rivals, Betty's father Gene.

We're recapping Episode 13 of Season 2 of Mad Men, titled "Meditations in an Emergency," though the real emergency is our recording schedule. This is the season finale, of course, so we have plenty of reflections upon Mad Men's sophomore chunk of episodes, which takes plenty of bold swings, but how does it truly stack up to Season 1?

Why would you deny yourself a new episode of Mad Men Men? That's right, we're back this week to discuss some problematic nomads with cool names (and accents). We discuss Episode 11 of Season 2 of Mad Men, titled "The Jet Set," which has more than one meaning as it happens.

We recap Episode 10 of Season 2 of Mad Men, titled “The Inheritance,” and wow does that title carry a lot of weight in this episode where Harry Crane gets his very own office baby shower. And like Hildy, Mike Overhulse showed up to the podcast with some, ahem, alcohol in his system. Don and Betty have a reunion of sorts. Pete adopts a new strategy on his family life.

Duck solidifies his status as the opposite of a "very good boy." And the listeners can keep their imaginations. We'll take their podcast subscriptions. In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, our humble little baby podcast recaps Mad Men from the perspective of someone who hasn’t really watched the show, someone who went through it once a long time ago, and a superfan who watches excessively it instead of having a functional social life.

The show stars Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Robert Morse, and many more.

New year, new girl. That's right, the holidays are over, so it's time we advertise our return from the beach with yet another episode of Mad Men Men. Or is it Mad Men Men Men because there's three of us? Anyway, this week we're drinking in Episode 5 of Season 2 of Mad Men, known by some as "The New Girl." Don finally meets the one and only Tilden Katz. Joan has some new bling to show off. Pete's memories of Pearl Harbor could be the ticket to him having kids. And is Peggy ever going to pay me back my $110?

We can relate, since sometimes it takes us three weeks to record just one episode of Mad Men Men. That's right, this week we're covering Episode 4 of Season 2 of Mad Men, titled "Three Sundays." And we're having quite the crisis of faith as a result. The Drapers have some daddy issues to sort out. Peggy's Catholic guilt takes center stage, and so does Colin Hanks as Mad Men's prototypical Hot Priest. And Sally Draper, is that a whiskey glass in your hand?

Take it from some nuts. Mad Men is even better with some nuts. That's right, it's time for yet another episode of the Mad Men Men podcast, and we're putting our whole heads into this week's installment. We're now on the third episode of Season 2, "The Benefactor. Harry has tampered with the U.S. mail. Betty's people are, in fact, Nordic. And it's time for the introduction of two characters many Mad Men fans find controversial. Put your hands together for Jimmy and Bobbie Barrett!

We know how you all had it in your heads. Someone would see our podcast and say, "get me that podcaster!" Well, I'm sorry things didn't work out that way. That's right, it's time for another episode of Mad Men Men! This week on the podcast, we discuss "Flight 1," which is the second episode of Season 2. Drugs and racism rear their heads at an office work party. A flight nosedives, and Pete won't be laughing for long. Peggy visits her family and gets more than she bargained for. And Don really just isn't any good at Pinochle!

And we're back. To do the twist! The twist to a new season that is. In the time since we finished recording season 1, we switched over to InBetweenDrafts, so here we are! Let's get started. This week on the podcast, we discuss "For Those Who Think Young," which is the first episode of Season 2. Valentine's Day sweeps the Sterling Cooper staff and their families. Don's meditating on a poetic emergency. Peggy has a line or two about a line or two. And someone needs to explain diabetes to Pete Campbell.

We did it. We watched a full season of Mad Men. It was extremely easy (we just pressed play on a TV show 13 times). But in other ways it was difficult. We had to put our hands up to the wall and say, "We're here...to podcast." So this week on Mad Men Men, we discuss "The Wheel," the 13th episode of Season 1. Pete Campbell has the opposite of baby fever. But don't tell that to Peggy Olson. Don finds a time machine and why is Betty scheduling so many therapy sessions this week?

My father had a podcast like this, and when I listened to it...that was a mistake. All right, the polls have closed, and Mad Men Men is ahead. That's right, this week we're digging our own graves for "Nixon vs Kennedy," the 12th episode of Season 1. The Sterling Cooper crew is partying it up, complete with Paul Kinsey's stage play. Peggy said all lives matter. Don and Pete are fighting over which of them metaphorically aligns with Kennedy. And Cooper asks the question most people ask when they come across our show. Who cares?

Take a break from your passive exercise regime, it's time for another episode of Mad Men Men. This week, we're unpacking our suitcases for "Indian summer," the 11th episode of Season 1. Peggy's first pitch goes down to the wire(s). Don's affair with Rachel has Betty all hot and bothered.

We needed a long weekend to collect our thoughts on what is certainly our most contentious Mad Men discussion yet. This week, we're talking about "Long Weekend," the tenth episode of Season 1. Betty's dad is in town, and so is his new girlfriend. Kennedy has a new jingle that's getting all the kids talking. Joan and Carol are coming out for a night on the town! On that note, Don and Roger throw a private party after hours. And is that Rachel Menken's apartment in a movie referencing The Apartment?

We're back from Mamie's funeral, so don't call us Cutups. This week, special guest Katey Stoetzel joins us to shoot yet another episode of Mad Men Men, aptly titled "Shoot," the ninth episode of Season 1. Betty's therapy sessions have been firing on all cylinders. For once, Don's the one getting seduced by a creepy ad executive. And yes, we can confirm Peggy Olsen loves lobster, so all bullies deserve a punch.

Ciao, ciao. We're taking a break from the bowling team this week, and all our holes have been dug, so it's time to talk about Mad Men again! This week, we're marking our podcast for "The Hobo Code," the eighth episode of Season 1. Peggy and Pete come, ahem, into work early. Sal goes on a man date.

You got fingers in your ears? We’re talking about Mad Men! It has episodes on the side and a podcast in the middle. This week, we set our sights on ‘Red in the Face,’ the seventh episode of Season 1. Don feels like he’s living with a child, Betty’s a vegetarian sometimes, Roger parks in the wrong garage, and Pete has a special little errand he gets to run during lunch, today.

On our first ever Mad Men Men "special," we zero in on just one series of scenes from a recent episode we covered. You might remember how in S1E5 ("5G"), we talked about how the scenes between Dick and Adam could play out as a profound short story and...well, it's time to prove that! This is a re-edit of the audio from the episode, stitched together as a new version of the same story.  We'll be back next week for our discussion of S1E7, "Red in the Face."

Don't you want to see the podcast land? Welcome back to Mad Men Men! This week, we get into 'Babylon,' the sixth episode of Mad Men Season 1. Don's flexing his library card these days, but he's the one being read like a book by Maggie Siff as Rachel.

Podcasts sent to the office…hey there, welcome back to Mad Men Men! This week, we’re covering Season 1, Episode 5: 5G. Lots of fives in this one. After winning a prestigious advertising award, Don comes face-to-face with an unlikely figure from his past. Meanwhile, Peggy gets in over her head trying to save the Draper photo shoot.

We like to think of podcasting as the backbone of America. Especially when it comes to Mad Men! In "New Amsterdam," we follow way more of Pete (Dykeman?) Campbell's life than usual, as he conflicts with Don over a pitch with Bethlehem Steel. And at home, Betty gets some alone time with Glen Bishop, and it goes about as well as no one expected.

Who is Don Draper...at home? In "Marriage of Figaro," we find the first real experimentation of Mad Men's formula, specifically as it relates to two halves of Don's life at constant conflict with one another. Pete Campbell returns from his honeymoon, Peggy picks up a new book, and Don tries to spark something with Rachel. But that's just Part 1 of an episode that says something a little deeper about love, marriage, and the American family. Mad Men was created by Matthew Weiner and aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015.

On Episode 2 of Mad Men Men, we return to Madison Avenue to discuss the second episode of Mad Men. We continue our conversation from last week about the show’s handling of sexism and out-of-place 60s references. Plus we start digging into the motivations behind Don Draper’s infidelity and romantic aspirations.

The year is 1960. Sorry, 2022. Three men who are mad about Mad Men are smoking herbal cigarettes and getting a little chatty about one of the greatest television dramas of all time. We begin with the show's pilot, of course, titled "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," but this isn't your typical rewatch podcast. One of our hosts has only seen a handful of episodes over a decade ago, one has seen the show only one time through, and the last has rewatched the show almost a dozen times. We won't be spoiling what happens in later episodes, so even if you're totally new to Mad Men, we're here to guide you on a carousel through time, advertising, and hopefully some answers to the eternal question, Who is Don Draper?
