Breaking Bread with Kathleen Madigan

[@sallybp2484]

I can watch Kathleen's specials over and over and laugh every time like it's my first time seeing it.

[@Swimdeep]

Same. She’s totally hilarious.

[@spritespring8035]

I also watch them over and over again I go to sleep to them every night.

[@kennetpon]

I agree she's just naturally funny just like Jim Gaffigan

[@christinedelosreyes928]

I love this podcast!

[@patriciahare4433]

Same😂

[@chrisblevins755]

Kathleen is the best. Love her, her work has brightened some of my darkest days.

[@tommierobertson1024]

I hear ya - music and comedy has saved my life.

[@frenchtoast7742]

Same here . Had a very long illness and she helped me out a lot . ❤

[@ashleymartin2393]

I'm 35. Kathleen on cable was my therapy in an Irish Catholic household. Fantastic episode!

[@singlelifeok]

I'm 65 and feel the same! Six kids all went to Catholic school. Love her

[@NcGatorMom]

My husband and I are 76 and 82 and we've been to two of Kathleen's shows. Even drove 8 hours to our first show.

[@cathithomas2888]

Awesome! She’s well worth the trip!

[@kayellis5575]

Way to go gators!

[@wesleypatterson2883]

Shusi is bait.

[@wesleypatterson2883]

Bait

[@IamThatiAm420]

Kathleen is the most authentic comedian out there!

[@georgepratt4988]

I think Kathleen is the only “idol” I could meet and chat with, that wouldn’t ruin it for me. She’s legit herself, and I have so much respect for that.

[@MissingMars]

so enjoyed this! thanks Tom & Kathleen -also glad you moved the mics out of your faces in later episodes.

[@YvonaLive4Love]

There are certain comedians that you could watch over and over again, same jokes, and still laugh your pants off 😂Kathleen Is definitely one of my favourites I laugh so hard I feel like I’ve done a ton of situps by the end of her show 😆😂🤣😂

[@JenBriSeth]

I love Kathleen. I went to school at the University of Missouri-Columbia in the late 80s, early 90s, and would go see her at Deja Vu every time she rolled through. She's great.

[@suestory3046]

I adore Kathleen Madigan. So funny, so real, so down to earth. I feel like I'm listening to a girlfriend 😂. I can watch her comedy over and over. Naturally hilarious lady!

[@voodooladyink6869]

Two of my favorite human beings who also happen to be hilarious... despite the weather, this is a good day. Thanks, papa!

[@mccloysong]

Tom's a generous non-interrupting interviewer that graciously let Kathleen (I'm pretty sure that was her behind the mic) to complete her great stories.

[@lynnnewlin4395]

She's so flipping cute!!!!!

[@Dee-ty9ny]

What a great interview. Kathleen Madigan is a favorite comedian. No, she will never run out of thoughts, and when she's done with the tours & the stage, I'd love to read the book that Will downpour out of her brain, over her tongue, into some transcriber's ear, and onto the page.

[@Anne--Marie]

This is a great interview! Kathleen, Kris Kristofferson is suffering from Lyme disease. It was initially diagnosed as Alzheimer's due to his symptoms. Kathleen, your humor is fantastic! And your heart is kind. Saw you in Ft. Myers a few years ago and laughed harder than I thought possible. It was my first time going anywhere after the pandemic began and you lifted my heart. Many thanks

[@tommierobertson1024]

Why do I love this so much? Two comedians just talking has me so engaged. Haha at the "Dayton" reference (Cleveland here). I just started watching these "Bread" talks and I love them. Kathleen you rock! Thanks, Tom.

[@jazzjokesjalopies]

Two of my favorite comedians, together -- can't top that. 😃

[@shannonatkinson7980]

100%. 2 awesome, funny people who make me laugh every time. 😂❤

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Her song starts playing in my head!! Thanks! That's gonna last all day! 😆

[@irmazandl]

What a great discovery - Kathleen Madigan is fabulous. Thank you Tom Papa. 💕🙏🏻💕

[@CraigMayhem]

As someone who is Autistic (and lives in STL) I appreciate that Kathleen can joke about Autism without making fun or ridiculing it. I watched her special last night and it's great! Also if you want authentic Mexican food in STL, head down to Cherokee Street. Lots of Mexican owned businesses and restaurants with delicious food.

[@M_SC]

She does that with a lot of topics, it’s awesome

[@DanceintheRaine666]

I agree. I dislike "comedy/comedians" that is/who are hateful/nasty/condescending....Kathleen's observations are spot on without being unkind.

[@stltourgirl]

Yes! We drove from STL to CoMo for the fundraiser for her nephew for MO Autism. You have special gifts. Glad you are here!

[@marikaharrison341]

Watching Tom and Kathleen's specials got me through some really tough times ❤

[@philwright2480]

Two of the G O A T , two of my favorite comedians

[@PaulBlalock-vd6pj]

What a treat! Two of my favorites together. Thanks for the laughs. Thanks for helping me keep a positive perspective in a crazy world. Rah!

[@jenefervankylen5443]

Love both of these people! They are the chicken soup on a cold winter’s night. I urge everyone to share all their specials with your family and friends. They will make you laugh out loud and remember the good old days

[@matttrafton2725]

Finally saw her in Santa Rosa. I laughed so much , along with my mid 70s mom, my throat was sore afterwards. One of the best deliveries in the laughing biz. My she live long and prosper🖖

[@matthck1]

I've just rediscovered Kathleen as of late. I forgot how much I love her work. I'm hoping to see her tour this year.

[@cj_kirby]

Kathleen is a treasure. Thanks for having her on with you. You were both just so great and wonderful to listen to your friend to friend conversation.

[@stephaneelee1466]

I love Kathleen so much!!! Her pubcast and yours are part of my weekly routine! Love when worlds collide like this 🥰

[@gregmock6808]

Having grown up in a small town in the midwest in the 50s and 60s she just hits my funny bone everytime I see her!

[@colleenhathaway8415]

I just learned about her. Love her style. She's such a good storyteller

[@valleygirl2530]

I love you two both separately and together. Great conversation and laughter.

[@monicawilliams1843]

My 2 favorite comedians, TOGETHER! LOVE YOU KIDS!

[@floperry1132]

OP 51:46 51:46 😅

[@marysalmon2367]

Kathleen, I get your upbringing. Irish catholic from PA, and my mother made the same food, I knew the day of the week by the food, one day was meatloaf,, another lamb chops, Fridays tuna fish, sunday grilled cheese and tomato soup. Never had Chinese or Mexican until I was an adult on my own.

[@WildaConnell]

Thank You so much for this interview of Kathleen & your podcast in general - such a bright spot in my day.

[@ClaySanford-e8o]

Thanks Kathleen and Tom! U guys really brighten up my day ❤

[@georgepratt4988]

I LOVE that she does 1/3 1/3 1/3. YOU BETTER tell those old jokes. The most naturally hilarious person/comedian I’ve ever come across. Love You Kathleen!

[@aristereno260]

Great interview. Love to hear you two!

[@frodofied]

These two, and Leanne Morgan, are my absolute favorite comedians. Truly insightful and truly funny ... Just fantastic.

[@lalah9481]

OMG!!! My favorites!💖💖💖🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for having mama Termite on the show.

[@hbeachley]

Where did the termite thing come from? I’ve watched all of her specials, listen to her podcast, and I must have missed that. I feel so “out of it.”

[@lalah9481]

@@hbeachley Kathleen has a KZbin channel, during lock down she read books to us. She would end each night with ‘night night Termite’; it originated with her buddy comedian Ron White. So he’s papa termite, she’s mama termite, and the lock down fans are the termites. She even made a shirt with ‘night night termites’ on it, really cute. It’s a great series with her commentary throughout, makes ya love her even more!🤣💖

[@hbeachley]

@@lalah9481 Thank You! This has been driving me crazy.

[@dienglish7777]

​@hbeachley she mentioned something like Ron White once bid farewell by saying 'Night-night termite'. She always liked it.

[@theresamoran3522]

I just saw her in NH last weekend. She's hands down my favorite comedian!

[@joansquires3827]

Love, love, love Kathleen! And Tom. And Jim. Awesome, so fun! 😂🎉

[@scrappysinger]

I never tire of Kathleen. Love her pubcast every week!❤

[@kristenwhite2701]

So glad that even when you retire your specials will always be streaming somewhere and I won’t get sick of them. Hopefully these Podcasts will stay forever on KZbin. We are so lucky that you do this for us. We can’t all see you on the road anyway. Kathleen’s Pubcast’s have kept many of us going and she has kept up even after the pandemic. New every Wednesday and great stuff. We are spoiled, and yes, I go nuts with the comments like I am here. Just so much to respond to. If you can keep that up you don’t need the road. You’re legends forever. When people are quoting you regularly I think you’ve made it (not that you weren’t already, but think you can gain followers without touring, it just doesn’t pay well other than getting praise)

[@sueveleke455]

great conversation, thanks

[@radiokarla]

You two are a couple of my absolute favorites! Thank you for this 😊👍

[@carole6779]

Awesome. What a great conversation. Thanks for breaking bread with Mama Termite! 🥖 😄👍

[@maryk768]

Had the pleasure of seeing you in Red Bank NJ. Will be seeing Ms. Madigan for the 2nd time next week at Count Basie as well. What can I say, I have fabulous taste. 😎 Love you both! ☮️❤️🤣

[@hualani6785]

Favorite Comedians in the english speaking world! Tom Papa, Lew Black, Kathleen Madigan. You're all great! How cruel to take night working talent, and start energy yelling in the morning!

[@wendyhanberg8733]

Omg she is describing my parents, and my childhood. I’m bout an hour from Chicago, moms 💯 Irish!!!

[@jenniferfuchs4949]

Love this!! 2 of my favorite comedians. Keep us laughing, please! We need you!

[@ritahassing2533]

I love you guys, so funny! Kathleen, when ya come to Atlanta, ill see ya. ❤Im from Minneapolis, but stuck in GA. Cheers!🎉

[@melaniebrandy4017]

These two are some of my favorite comedians of all time!!! Such salt of the earth...so refreshing!

[@honey_bee_33]

Love both of these guys! I was dying when Kathleen said her mom's favorite comedian is Bobby Lee. She should do Tigerbelly!

[@joanneflowers7771]

My 2 favorite people!!! Kathleen Madigan and Tom Pappa!! ❤👏🤪👏👏

[@laurablackmore2624]

Tom Papa and Kathleen Madigan are both my favorites! They make me laugh so hard, I need to recover for a few hours because my chest and jaw hurt.

[@michaeledwards1193]

Kathleen has a raw honesty that reminds me of George carlin. I would love to hear her version of "brain droppings"

[@cathyvasko3145]

Kathleen Madigan is the best! Tom Papa is the best interviewer! Love this guy!

[@kristenwhite2701]

What a great guest. You’re both so awesome it creates great chemistry and conversation. Love Kathleen’s imitations of everyone. You need a catch phrase for her to toss out like her pronunciation of Rocky LaPorte’s “good for you” (can’t spell guh fo you) or John Pinette’s Nay nay. You two and Nate Bargatze are my Mount Rushmore of comedians. ❤️ I guess Gabe “Fluffy” and Gaffigan might be the other two heads…but I guess I haven’t seen everyone. Jon Reep is awesome, Steven Wright…so many. Just give me a good special or Podcast and I’m in. Keep at it please.

[@dottiec7943]

❤❤😂😂thank you Tom. I knew these videos were gonna rock. I took a good day. Made from bad day. My ac is out August in Florida great day I got this entertainment to finish up. Most of a wonderful interview.

[@colleen1219]

I love the fact that she waited till the time is right. She didn’t just push something because she had a timeline.

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

Kathleen is delightful. Love that gal!

[@dinacox1971]

OMG, I just watch Bigfoot again and I laugh more the second time than the first!!! I was crying with laughter!!!

[@adriannenash9852]

Hey Tom, on her latest Pubcast mama termite was showing us and munching on the bread that you baked for her! Looked and sounded delicious; be well from Washington state USA ❤️

[@pocahon8460]

Tom is grace personified and Kathleen is the bomb

[@seasmoke26]

Thank you both. Loved the interview. Also, loved Kathleen’s special.

[@denisepeterson4553]

You two are my favorite comics! I have watched your specials over and over again until I have memorized the jokes. Take care of yourself and thanks for hosting Kathleen!

[@melissarecord7102]

It was great listening to your two chat! You are both my favorite comics.

[@melissaatchley841]

Just a normal person--I'd love to run into u--either/both of you....comedians make our lives a little happier--thank you!!!

[@laurachristianson1688]

I so love her midwestern humor we grew up roughly at the same time and similar culture….

[@jimballard1895]

Kathleen............ NO one better - she's in a league of her own - my very favorite !!!!!!!!!

[@frfrmpukn]

God having these two together is like a happy drug!

[@elizabethscott4518]

Love Kathleen and sweet that you are rocking the Canada Goose brand. Respect seems tobe a forgotten virtue..

[@jamesduncan4874]

Kathleen is the best normal person ever I love her

[@kristenwhite2701]

We love the content you both give us whether old or new. It’s all in your delivery and you’re both spot on. I could listen to her make fun of her parents every day and she never runs out of material with them. I think family provides good material for all comedians.

[@marylamb01]

Kathleen in my spirit animal!

[@LQOTW]

I first saw Kathleen in Madison back in the 90s. Been a fan, ever since. I'm a survivor of a big, Polish Catholic family (#7 of 8) and can relate to much of what she shares. I hope Kathleen visits Tom Barnard's new morning show in the Twin Cities.

[@Morningdovecamp]

Love Kathleen! Great interview. Thanks 👍👍

[@CaseyHarrisSr]

My fav comedians (still alive) together in this video share? I will re-watch at least 3 times a week. Many thank yous for being in this show. So nice to not see or to not hear any phony at all, Casey in AZ.

[@micheles.1179]

I love Kathleen Madigan ❤ her specials and pubcast are always so great. I’ve loved her since before the pubcast

[@doshiepowers7716]

You both are so generous and wonderful

[@pennyjanesplace]

I remember the credit card thing. When I was divorced in 1973, I lost all my credit cards because they were in my married name! It was outrageous then and horrifying now that I remember it.

[@deannad9105]

Watched her new special and it was great ♥️

[@knight1515]

I am a 34 year old woman who grew up in a family where both my parents were raised in strict French Catholic Conservative homes so I can relate a lot to Kathleen’s stories 🤣❤️ her work is a form of therapy for me

[@mnkid25]

This was gold. Fun stories. Loved Kathleen's special.

[@mmdcdj]

Love Kathleen Madigan. I've seen her live, she is so hysterically funny. Her new special is awesome 😁

[@davidpedwardsiii5581]

Her parents are hilarious 😆

[@cjhatcher1]

I think entertainers would miss the applause, the affirmation that you’re funny. We all want to feel loved and feel important. I think that would be hard.

[@reneet5858]

I can relate to this woman. 7 Kids, an aunt in a wheelchair, we had the very basics growing up. I had Pizza the first time when I was 8 months Pregnant, and walked by a Domino's. The smell! OMg...Preggo me suddenly HAD to try it. After that, the rest of my Pregnancy...Pizza every Friday night, lol.

[@marionmarino1616]

Kathleen is SO FUNNY because ITS SO TRUE!!!

[@aaronknight7129]

Saw Kathleen in Reno a year or so ago. I nearly peed myself she was/is hysterical!

Both of you are great comedians! Really enjoyed this podcast, thank you.

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

Why are so many obsessed with the 🎤? 🤷‍♀️ I just love listening to Kathleen

[@MyhorseInthegravy]

Love these two. The only disappointment is that the entire episode her face was obscured by the mic. How was this allowed to happen? 🤔🤪

[@lalah9481]

I think mama Termite does it on purpose; she hides behind her microphone on her pod too lol

[@colleen1219]

@@lalah9481 right! It took me forever. To realize she was doing it on purpose.

[@lalah9481]

It’s kinda adorable that Kathleen is so tiny ( and shrinking-almost car seat size lol), I think regular microphones look huge next her .

[@mkatepaski9947]

It's because she's short and either she wanted it that way or really they didn't adjust it. She needs a booster seat

[@ferocitas1958]

Because the world isn't equipped for those of us under 5 foot 3 and they don't hand out phone books anymore (not to mention the slickness of fabrics like Naugahyde.) 🙂

[@Hockeynut73]

I am my fathers son I can relate to the limited menu an Irish/french American I enjoy watching Kathleen's Comedy

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

The thing that surprised me about this interview is that nobody bothered to reposition Kathleen's mic out of the line of her face the whole 90 minutes she was on air. I hope somebody got fired for that after this.

[@Kate98755]

regarding Louie Anderson’s joke about Norwegians, I don’t if this still exists….but there is a distrust between Norway and Sweden, goes back to WW2, Norway fought Hitler taking their country, Sweden didn’t. Which put Norway in peril.

[@jadefamousartist5242]

Hi From The Sky 💫

[@vickymcmahon8121]

Gotta keep the parents around for awhile..😂😂😂

[@cjb8010]

Kathleen is brilliance with the common touch. (Perhaps reposition the guest microphone so that it doesn’t block so much of the guest’s face.)
