Love Among the Goons

If you don’t like what’s being said, put on this week’s episode of the podcast. We have host of the Finding My Audience podcast and comedian Allen Strickland Williams, whose album, Ran Through, is available now, joining Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season three episode two, “Love Among the Ruins.”

Limey Lane is settling into his new life in New York by taking his wife out to dinner with Don & Betty, but the Mrs. is still acclimating. She has some complaints about the bugs and the Africans. Have you noticed that these white people in the 60’s say a lot racist stuff? 

At the office, Paul pisses everyone off by taking the Madison Square Garden account to task for tearing down Beaux-Arts masterpiece Pennsylvania Station. Like, okay Paul, where do you expect Jermey Lin to drop 38 on Kobe and induce a national case of Linsanity?

In the Draper household, a new roommate moves in when the family decides Betty’s dad can’t be trusted to take care of himself if he’s buying sandwiches for women who have left him. If the figurative lemon is witnessing a loved one's mind slowly decay, the lemonade is… an extra sandwich up for grabs?

Is it still considered gooning if you bust more than once? Let us know in a five-star review on  Apple Podcasts.

-Description by Brent Flyberg  

Rejoice, piggies, it's new Frot day! Sean Keane from Roundball Rock is in the Frot seat this week to talk about (Borat Voice) BARI WEISS! Because this born snitch/hall monitor has ridden her pathological dearth of original thought straight to the top of CBS News, who just bought the Free Press for $200 million or something. Forget studying, kids, just find the nearest rich person and shamelessly kiss their ass.

After that, we catch up with Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert who has written a banger of a new essay for The Cut ("the publication exclusively by and for people with personality disorders" -Brendan), which is actually an excerpt from her new book about how she latched onto a terminally ill friend and maybe got her back into heavy drug use and maybe ruined her life? Wild scene, but we stan any essayist who overshares.

Meanwhile, we're trying to figure out just what the hell must've happened during Rudy Giuliani's recent car accident for the cover story about it to be this confusing and bad. Did something really gross and strange go down, or does everyone involved just have the storytelling skills of Abe Simpson.

Finally, Matt and I watched 28 Years Later (or more accurately, I saw it months ago and Matt just got around to seeing it), and we try to tell what the hell it's about (spoilers included, but this is only the last 25 min of the pod). That ends with us trying to figure out the ending, which in turn leads us into a discussion of Jimmy Savile. I thought he was just a child molester, but apparently he was way worse! Uh... sleep tight!
