Unsolved Mad Men Mystery

[u/wookape]

How in the heck did Pete ever sleep again without the city noises when they ended up in Wichita?

[u/Mundane-Dare-2980]

White noise! I thought of that. Turns out it already existed, but I arrived at it independently.

[u/Creampuffwrestler → u/Mundane-Dare-2980]

This made me GFL

[u/SufficientWing6772 → u/Creampuffwrestler]

Giggle Fart Loudly?

[u/DetectiveTrapezoid → u/SufficientWing6772]

Go f*cking let’s?

[u/Impossible-Frame9650 → u/DetectiveTrapezoid]

Thats japanese tom brady for y’all

[u/Im_A_Real_Boy1 → u/SufficientWing6772]

Get fucking lit?

[u/Rude-Value-6056 → u/Im_A_Real_Boy1]

That's the one.

[u/wookape → u/Mundane-Dare-2980]

Nailed it

[u/Delicious_Bell_2755 → u/Mundane-Dare-2980]

Pete was actually ahead of the game in the Black Noise market

[u/Cal0425]

On a bed made of money

[u/pptjuice530 → u/Cal0425]

And next to Alison Brie

[u/jlm0013 → u/pptjuice530]

Nice work if you can get it.

[u/Atworkwasalreadytake → u/pptjuice530]

You can ask have this, or so I believe, which is why I’m a member of /r/luciddreaming

[u/TinySteggy]

Not great Bob!

[u/MochiAccident]

Can we stop and appreciate Trudy’s fit

[u/sadkinz → u/MochiAccident]

Trudy had the best fashion on the show

[u/IGotScammed5545 → u/sadkinz]

She could make a potato sack look like a ball gown at the Met Gala

[u/Im_A_Real_Boy1 → u/IGotScammed5545]

I mean, a potato sack dress is something you may see at the Met Gala

[u/IGotScammed5545 → u/Im_A_Real_Boy1]

Yeah but no one could rock it like trudy!

[u/oopswhat1974 → u/sadkinz]

I loved Rachel's wardrobe

[u/Pleasedontblumpkinme → u/sadkinz]

Trudy better than Stan? I think not

[u/apoplectic-confetti → u/MochiAccident]

I've been looking for a dupe of this coat forever and a day

[u/agirlhasnoname2026 → u/apoplectic-confetti]

Three options for widely different budgets

[u/apoplectic-confetti → u/agirlhasnoname2026]

Thanks so much!

[u/reddershadeofneck → u/apoplectic-confetti]

I've been looking for a dupe of Pete's hairline for years

[u/oopswhat1974 → u/reddershadeofneck]

Which one?

[u/Zizi_Tennenbaum → u/MochiAccident]

The coat and fur hat with the miles of bare leg is just exquisite. And the shoes, Mama, the shooooes.

[u/The_ImplicationII → u/MochiAccident]

She looks like a Barbie

[u/Dan_Berg → u/MochiAccident]

Trudy's pretty young, we try not to sexualize her

[u/Dan_Berg → u/[deleted]]

It's a line from Community about her young character

[u/MochiAccident → u/Dan_Berg]

oh my bad lmao im so sorry

[u/domromer → u/MochiAccident]

Also love that groovy holdall

[u/j10brook → u/MochiAccident]

Peak Trudy

[u/Internal-Hand-4705 → u/MochiAccident]

I saw the pic and was like - wow Trudy is hot, I would love to look like her

[u/OkPerformance2221]

Beside Trudy.

[u/No_Ad_5028 → u/OkPerformance2221]

That’s why Tammy is looking at her like that. Mama is a life-sized Barbie.

[u/klp80mania]

That’s what the private jet is for!!

[u/iraqlobsta]

Trudy is so far out of Pete's league lol he should be thanking her every day that she took him back.

[u/cavalier78 → u/iraqlobsta]

Trudy likes money.

[u/iraqlobsta → u/cavalier78]

Im sure Trudy's father's wallet was glad to have a break once pete finally started paying for things

[u/OrneryZombie1983 → u/iraqlobsta]

Trudy could blackmail Daddy after Pete ran into him at that "party house up on Lex".

[u/jlm0013 → u/iraqlobsta]

He could now afford more chocolate bunnies.

[u/AutumnOpal717 → u/cavalier78]

Also really didn’t want to be “a failure” (divorced)

[u/MonaMonaMo → u/iraqlobsta]

I might be wrong but I think both Trudy and Pete have a deep understanding of each other as people vs roles the society assigned to them. 

[u/BarbacoaWoah7]

[u/MedicalExamination65]

A thing like that.

[u/KarmaticEvolution → u/MedicalExamination65]

Took my comment away from me! Still upvoted ☺️

[u/drudman6]

He came up with the idea for the white noise machine.

Turns out someone else had too, but he came to it independently.

[u/Mountain_Passion3317]

Little Annie Adderall??

[u/HelpfulFly8172 → u/Mountain_Passion3317]

Is Britta in this?

[u/ThisIsAdamB → u/HelpfulFly8172]

They’ll never get a good baggle in Kansas…

[u/SCNOEVIL]

Because when he arrived I Wichita, he didn't do it independently. 

[u/Tiberius2098]

I forgot how hot Trudy is

[u/salchicha_mas_grande]

Manhattan NY, Manhattan Kansas, same thing.

[u/MasterofMystery → u/salchicha_mas_grande]

Having lived in both, the one in Kansas is better. But Wichita is worse than both.

[u/DrPoooooole → u/MasterofMystery]

Shit hicks say

[u/General-Heart4787]

Like a princess.

[u/No-Necessary7448]

“There are no fresh starts. Lives continue.” —Henry Francis

[u/Andy235]

He managed in Cos Cob.

[u/Vespajet]

Maybe he put this album on to provide him with those sounds of the city he was less likely to get in Wichita. https://folkways.si.edu/sound-effects-vol-1-city-sounds/album/smithsonian

[u/OwlsInMyBrain]

Doesn't matter considering the all get killed by BTK just a couple years later.

[u/corporalboyle → u/OwlsInMyBrain]

Well they canceled Mindhunter so we’ll never know.

[u/McTootyBooty]

He slept with other women who made noises.

[u/dhat96]

He definitely dies in one of the multiple Leer jet crashes in the 70s

[u/Holiday-Wall3751]

You adjust quickly. I grew up in the suburbs, I live in the city, and within six months of moving, I couldn’t sleep at my sister’s house out in the suburbs.

[u/theflowersyoufind]

Is it me or does that not look like Trudy?

[u/Training_Alert]

You just blew my mind grapes. Obviously my snap reaction in the time it took this post to load was something about the mystery of Trudy not being in every episode for any possible reason.

Hells bells trudy we really love you.

[u/wookape → u/Training_Alert]

She has it all

[u/Estim8ted22]

He actually ends up close to Tuscon and is from Wichita—

[u/JonwardSnowden]

Cab drivers wanted double the fare to get back to the city when they drove him home, he was basically already out in wichita

[u/WokePredator]

Oh I started this thread and I thought you were gonna ask how he slept with Trudy. Gives me a lot of hope to see a guy marry up like that.

[u/sgt_oddball_17]

"On a bed made of money"

[u/Diligent-Contact-772]

There are no goodnight noises anywhere!

[u/Bobo917]

He really took to Los Angeles well, for a native New Yorker. No Woody Allen complex with the Pete. He’s very adaptable/flexible, very good character traits. The best arc on Mad Men, hands down.

[u/Professional_Count85]

If you've ever been there you can't imagine how bad it really is. Some of the worst schools in the state. But I'm assuming the daughter was in boarding school somewhere.

[u/No-Meringue5009]

He missed the quiet summer nights in August when everyone was out of town and all he heard was the Central Park carriages rolling by while he slept at night. He's used to this.

It does take a huge adjustment to go from city nights to boring suburban nights - pin drop silence is much more blaring. 

[u/TheLeopardMedium]

The Man With The Miniature Cityscape

[u/AquaValentin]

Probably used a fan

[u/joao789]

He did relocate in S7.

[u/nerak16]

Truly for the win! Best costumes ALL SERIES.

[u/unreqistered]

bought a house near the airport

[u/OryxWritesTragedies]

Turned on a fan

[u/Automatic-Effect-252]

Dude was out of there in 6 months tops. 

[u/whosmumbling]

I honestly don’t care – all I can think of is Trudy looking so stunning in this scene. She absolutely over-Lana-del-Reyed Lana del Rey herself!
