Welcome to the first Dad Men Bonus Check. These are going to be episodes where the show Mad Men is not recapped, but instead the dad men talk about life, their other interests (manga/anime, food), and really get a chance to stretch out and crack themselves and the audience up.

Since the last Dad Men Doncast episode was posted in 2023, the Michaels have both been on separate journeys to Los Angeles. Mike Jallah went to see Kendrick Lamar's Pop-Out concert at the Kia Forum and gives a first-person perspective of this historical concert. Michael Rowland on the other hand, decided to finally start recording a project he's labeled his "Chinese Democracy." While staying in a new part of the country and focusing on chasing new sounds, Rowland found himself feeling inspired and rejuvenated.

We also cover:

- Michael D's thoughts on becoming debt-free and watching too many Dave Ramsey and Ramit Sethi clips.

- Mike Jallah's experience appearing on HGTV's "House Hunters" program

- A discussion on what makes Weezer's 1994 self-titled record such a classic, including a detail that is rarely pointed out by critics and fans alike.

Michael and Mike get into an episode of Mad Men that has been shook by the news of Don Draper and his cheating ways, all thanks to Jimmy Barret. We dive into the separation of the Drapers, Joan shouldering the load of the TV department work to help Harry Crane, and finally Peggy deciding to give some help to Father Gill and the church with their flyer for a dance titled "A Night to Remember."

On the dAd Break, the boys discuss a favorite hobby of theirs; Anime/Manga!

That and more on this episode of The Dad Men Doncast!

On Mad Men, Peggy finds that she isn't being included in important business due to decisions being made after work-hours, Don finds out that he has a reputation, and Duck is offered an olive branch. And Jallah asks the question: which one of us is a Jackie and which one of us is a Marilyn?

The dAd Break this week is about DMT and drug trips... neither of us have tried them but we both have heard stories! One of us is interested, the other is a little scared but argues for legalization. You'll have to listen to find out which side we're on!

Michael and Mike are in for an exciting trip this episode! Come for the ride as they both go through the introductions of a 'new girl' at the office. Also Joan has some big news to share with all of the ladies and gentlemen of the office (cue the wedding bells). Bobbie and Don go on a joy ride that doesn't end well for either of them. And finally Don is shocked to see a surprise appearance of an 'old friend'.

The dAd Break will be covering the good old days of 90s kid movies...the good and the bad that come to mind.

Michael and Mike get emotional about Mad Men's most fatherhood centric episode yet. Sterling Cooper gets all their Ducks lined up in a row before the fated meeting with American Airlines, Don & Betty's tensions on how to properly raise children come to an explosive climax, and Peggy starts a friendship with a new priest at her mother and sister's church. The dAd Break this week is about M. Rowland's new album, "Coffee Music" by Dermot. Jallah had to right the Dad Men ship while it was being worked on and the duo discuss this, the new songs, and the nightmare that is the pre-release jitters.

This week we are introduced to a gregarious new stand-up comedian character- Jimmy Barrett. We’re also introduced to a new story idea - a Harry Crane subplot about how much money he makes! And you just know Don’s up to some hijinx… perhaps with a certain new character’s wife/manager - Mrs. Bobbi Barrett. We’ll tell you how this episode shakes out and while we’re at it, we’ll be chatting about the magic of Jamie Foxx on the dAd Break.
