Summary
The One Where Freddie “Faints”
We know you’re drinking because your daughter has had a string of bad beaus, but we have a good man on this week’s episode, writer of Spaceman and the Hollyweird newsletter, Colby Day, joins Matt and Vince to talk about Mad Men season two episode nine, “Six Month Leave."
According to Wikipedia, this is the episode in which beloved office lush Freddy Rumsen “faints” just before a pitch meeting, but don’t worry this is not a Mandela effect, you remember it correctly. He doesn’t faint, he goes pee pee in his damn trousers. Roger and Don agree it’s pretty funny, but even a white man can’tpiss in his damn pants at work and expect to keep his job in 1962. It was the dawn of woke culture.
They take ol’ Freddy out for one last bender before sending off to pasture in the hopes he can learn to just drink beer. In the process, they say some anti-semitic stuff, meet a heavyweight champ, punch a comedian, get thrown out of an underground casino, and Don unwittingly convinces Roger to leave his wife. It’s a reminder to be careful what you say to your boys who hate their wives. You don’t want a divorce hanging over your head.
Describe, but don’t actually tell us, your favorite racist street joke in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.
