Welcome back to Mad Men & Tonic. In honor of S2E7, The Gold Violin, Kristina and Elias mix Gold Cadillacs, even though Car Dad Don would never let them even drink water in his new car (drink lesson at 0:23). Meteorologist Elias retracts his previous forecast and downgrades Hurricane Jane to Tropical Storm Jane, but doubles down on his belief that Kristina was born in a log cabin (episode recap & discussion at 5:20). So settle in, swaddle your babies in cigar leaves, and enjoy as we discuss the best episode of Season 2 so far.
