Mad Yourself A Man 303: My Old Kentucky Home, with Amy Silverberg

Roger’s Old Kentucky Racism Put that shoe polish away and listen to the latest episode with comedian and author of First Time, Long Time , Amy Silverberg , joining Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season three episode three, “My Old Kentucky Home.” If you’re watching the show along with the podcast, you may have noticed there’s a new disclaimer before this episode about blackface, and how it’s bad, and you should not do it, and we agree! However, none of the various media with blackface in the 50s and 60s had such a disclaimer, so Roger likely had no idea that it was problematic to throw a derby party with his child bride so that he could show everyone how good he is at singing in blackface. He also would have rolled his eyes so hard if you said something he did was “problematic.” If Roger were alive today, he would accuse this podcast of being infected by the woke mind virus. Back at the office, Peggy and the gang are getting blazed on the sweet cheba, leading to inspiration for the Bacardi campaign, proving sometimes drugs are good. If you’re keeping score at home: black face = bad, drugs = good (sometimes). Tell us your experience with a lingering drug dealer in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts .
