[MAD MEN] 413: Tomorrowland, with Ashley Ray

In Between Marriages and Seasons

You made it to the end of another season of the world’s only Mad Men podcast. Light up a Lucky Strike and enjoy Matt & Vince’s conversation with comedian, writer, and five-time Pod Yourself a guest, Ashley Ray about season four episode thirteen, “Tomorrowland.”

Our boy Don loves the beginning of things doesn’t he? After Betty (racsitly?) fires Carla for letting Glen say goodbye to Sally ahead of their move, Don has no one to watch his kids on their trip to California. So, he hires the newest of his two office-based situationships to tend to the children. Megan does such a good job that Don proposes before they get home, and before he officially ends things with his older sex partner from work. Faye’s the one who theorizes that Don only likes beginnings, but it also could be that he likes hot, young, French Canadians who don’t scream at the kids when they spill a milkshake. 

On the Accounts side, the agency needs some damn accounts. Kenneth cares too much about his wife or whatever to get the partners on a golf course with his father-in-law, so Peggy bails everyone out by getting a meeting with Topaz Hosiery, leading to the first new account in 10 months. 

We’ll be back in a few weeks with new episodes, in the meantime, check out Ashley on Funny AF on Netflix, and if you’re in LA, go to her new weekly show Chida House Comedy at Casa Chida on Sunday nights.
