"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Which is probably why it's the son who's going to leave New York with VD.

I loved that line of Roger's! Oh Roger, never change.

It was very deliberate and calculated and all the stuff that Don has historically been so good at.

I'm curious what Roger (and Cooper & Pryce) will have to say about that interview. It may be a "careful what you wish for" moment, at least for Roger and Bert.

Art Crawl!!!

That's what I'm thinking - they wanted him to put himself out there more and now they might be regretting it.

“Not dead yet!”

"Someone white to carve the turkey," was the one that had me snorting tea up my nose.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

It's already started. Notice that he said "Get out of my office" to the Jantzens, at first, I thought it was his office, but then I realized that hit was the conference room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When did he get to set it all up, though?

During the whole booby-trap setup period? It didn't occur to me it would be any other time.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

During the whole booby-trap setup period?

What setup period? After grabbing the cig & matches, they ran off into the woods and didn't get back to the camp until they were captured. What did I miss?

They had a period where they were sitting around and whittling and setting up traps. I figured they'd snuck back to camp and set up the fuse in that window and then gotten themselves captured.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Draper as the face of the agency started in the gap time -- there's a reason Ad Age was profiling him, and not the agency or anyone else.

"John and Marsha" was the first single (released in 1951) by Stan Freberg. It was a goof on soap operas and consisted of two actors saying each other's names over and over in different tones of voice in a way that created a melodrama. Later in the 50's Freberg revolutionized advertising by injecting humor into what until then had been all about the hard sell.

That's so interesting!

Yeah, but I think for the first time, he's really owning it and I think that's what the end cap interviews were meant to showcase.
