[MAD MEN] 103: The Marriage of Figaro, with Frotcast Brendan

He’s Not Dick Whitman, He’s a Dickwit, Man

You know him, you love his deep voice, Brendan from the Frotcast is on the pod this week to talk to Matt and Vince about Mad Men season one episode three, “The Marriage of Figaro.”

Slimy Pete Campbell returns from his honeymoon in Niagara to find that those cads at Sterling Cooper have played a devious prank, putting a Chinese-American family (not the words they use) in his office! Jim Halpert could never. It’s a source of constant amusement for the office. No one does racist quips better than a bunch of 60s copywriters.

The Mystery of Don’s second identity unravels a tiny bit more when a Korean war buddy on the train calls him Dick Whitman. If you’ve seen the whole show already, you're like, yeah yeah he’s not Don Draper, he’s Dick Whitman, but if this is your first time watching, you’re like, lol who names their kid Dick Whitman?
