[MAD MEN] 406: Waldorf Stories, with Sam Seder

The Cure for the Common Podcast

Roll out the red carpet. We have an award-worthy guest for this week’s pod. Host of The Majority Report, Sam Seder joins Matt and Vince to talk about Mad Men season four episode six, “Waldorf Stories.”

It’s the advertising industry’s biggest night, and all the stars are in attendance, including Ned Elliot, Ted Chaough, General Rufus T. Bullshit, Ken Cosgrove, Herman “Duck” Phillips, and the night's big winner for Best Cleansers, Waxes, & Polishes, Don Draper of SCDP. 

Riding the high of being crowned the new king of Madison Avenue, Don returns to the office in the beginning stage of what he’ll later recognize as a bender to riff taglines for Life Cereal off the dome and blurt out Roger’s wife’s cousin’s only copywriting idea. You may remember the scene, as it is responsible for Mad Men’s widest reaching cultural impact, the drunk Don meme.
