Summary

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.
