Mad Yourself A Man 207: The Gold Violin, with José

Cadillac Puke De Ville

Shake off that picnic blanket and leave your garbage for someone else to pick up, there’s a new episode of MYAM to listen to. YouTuber and creator of Manufacturing a Dream: A Mad Men Retrospective, José, joins Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season two episode seven, “The Gold Violin.”

Don buys a new Cadillac because everything is coming up Draper. He’s a rich, successful white guy in the 60s. He can do whatever he wants without any fear of repercussions, unless of course he leaves his wife alone for ten minutes with the man he’s been cucking. 

Back at the office, Jane gets fired for sneaking into Bert Cooper’s office to appreciate some art, but Roger promises to get her job back if he can just get her address. He’s a rich, successful white guy in the 60s, so this would have been seen as a romantic story.
