S2E8: A Night to Remember

Welcome back to Mad Men & Tonic! Kristina and Elias kick off 2021 (a bit late, per us) with S2E8, “A Night to Remember,” an ep that definitely doesn’t leave any room for the Holy Ghost. K&E mix Snakebite and Blacks (using Heineken Beer and snake sounds, of course), and dive in to the dinner party and its aftermath that end the happy days in the Draper home. Kristina reluctantly deprives the listeners of an awkward high school story, and the two praise Sally’s mothering skills of her own mother, and debate the merits of priests jamming on guitars. Drink lesson at 1:55; episode discussion & recap at 7:22.
