Mad Yourself A Man 202: Flight 1, with Sean Keane (Patreon)

Jamaican Me Dad Die

Don’t think about the president gutting the FAA, just listen to the latest edition of MYAM with Comedian and co-host of the Roundball Rock podcast, Sean Keane joining Matt and Vince to discuss Mad Men season two episode two, “Flight 1.”

RIPete’s dad. In this episode, the Campbell paterfamilias dies in the American Airlines plane crash that everyone in the Sterling Cooper office is joking about. The tragic aviation accident that killed one of their peers is not just laughing matter to these mad men, no, it’s also a business opportunity. Duck thinks American Airlines might want to make some new ads. You know, some print ads that draw attention away from the 95 bodies at the bottom of Jamaica Bay, and towards the skirts on the stewardesses. 

Meanwhile, Paul and Joan get in a fight because Paul is a phony and Joan is both racist and 31. Paul puts her on blast by revealing her age to everyone in the office, because in 1960s America it was much worse to be a 31-year-old woman than to be racist. Don’t think about which is more socially acceptable in 2025 America. Just focus on the pod.
