Madigan's Pubcast Ep103:Six Flags Daycare, Chinese Weather Rods & The Start of The Mississippi River

[@sherirapisarda9622]

It’s my birthday today and I have been waiting for this all day….Birthday Beers for all Termites!!!

[@wespaisley257]

It's your birthday? For me it's a Wednesday

[@earthtoparis62]

My birthday is next Tuesday. Me mum went into labor with me on Labor Day - a big scream at Mercy Hospital, I'm told.

[@sissy7248]

My birthday too! Happy Birthday.

[@j-fo4753]

Happy Birthday fellow Termite. Hope you have a wonderful year. 🥳 You're never too old to old to make a wish! 🕯

Happy belated birthday Sheri!

Hi Kathleen! As a former truck driver, who always drove team, one driver sleeps while the other gets ready to drive. Drivers have things to do in truck stops that take way more than 30 minutes. Trailers are 53 feet long. We can't hear or feel anything going on at the back of the rig. Theft of merchandise out of trucks is astronomical. Love your pubcasts!!!

[@j-fo4753]

My brother drives a delivery truck full of nothing but Printer Paper...that's all that any thief will get if he gets his load taken. The paper is in Bankers Boxes and extremely heavy, so they won't be able to carry more than one box each, even if it's a gang. Yes, paper can be resold, but its not your typical item thieves will enjoy once they figure out its not cash or anything they'll make their drug & gun money on attempting to sell on the streets. (His daily route takes him along the South Shore of Lake Michigan, and includes Gary, Ind & the south side of Chicago with several stops.Yikes!)😟😣 🚛 Say a prayer for all our truck drivers safety 🚚

[@kathleenm5594]

Whew...I was getting worried when Tuesday came and went and no PubCast. Hi Termites👋👋 it's hump day. 🐫

[@pamelamiller3501]

I listened to the audio version of E. 103 yesterday when I couldn't find the video but I enjoy these pubcasts so much, I am back for a repeat! It is even better watching Kathleen do the pubcast instead of just listening to it. I am serious when I say this is a highlight of my week.

[@karenburroughs6395]

I'm an audio convert also! And its not like she's doing anything special visually! I like watching Mama Termite!

[@maitland72]

LOL Kath, I sing the Preamble all of the time! Bless Schoolhouse Rock!!

[@michellemcalpine4443]

Thanks Queen Termite. I'm Scotland now. Moved back from 1066 County 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to be in same town as my mum. She's got an ' All Stars ' life going on now. So, I'm very happy to be back 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@johnnygogo3507]

Hi fellow Scottish termite! Edinburgh here, was in Glasgow on this rare sunny day! Mama Termite should come here for a gig and not just golf with Lewis. She'd go down great in the right venue Although, we're not really into ranch so it's a bit thin on the ground

[@FromRobsWorld]

Yay! Was having withdrawals! 🤣

Episode 103🎉 for all 🐜🐜🐜 to see after waiting patiently, how great is that🍻🍺🍻

[@adriannenash9852]

Yeaaah, the pub is open Termites!

[@lauraw289]

OMG, I can sing the Preamble to the Constitution too! I thought I was the only one that got that Schoolhouse Rock song stuck in my head for good. 😂 I'm a nerd so I can tell you that Anakin Skywalker is the person who became Darth Vader. He was Luke and Leia's father.

[@MoonDoggieAngel13]

Super great show. If all my classes back in school, especially math, we're sung like Schoolhouse Rock, I'd have learned it. To this day, only reason I know the Preamble is because of S. R. & I must sing it. Kathy U. R. awesome!

[@galeraisanen7954]

Most of my knowledge came from Schoolhouse Rock, Sesame Strret & The Electric Company.

[@marcielapido8367]

Thanks for the shout out for Becky’s Dinner. Good food. Great show this week Mama Termite. Have an enjoyable Labor Day weekend.

[@deborahmoore3018]

Schoolhouse Rock!! Sang it in my head for tests in school. LOL

[@claudehaynes6419]

New bit for your act - audience singing of The Preamble. Everyone there grew up with Schoolhouse Rock; even "the children".

Minnesota wilds game in person is totally awesome. I love the Minnesota wilds.

Schoolhouse Rock serves me TO THIS DAY! Before you even looked it up, I was singing it! The children will never be able to appreciate our 3 minute lessons in between Saturday morning cartoons! Math, English, History!

[@kristenwhite2701]

You have to be somewhat sober for pull tabs, it’s easy to miss the three lines Plus you have to be able to walk up to get them. You missed out on bingo night and meat raffles? (Staple at all MN dive bars) Come back and go farther north for moose and bears. 😉

[@michelledonnelly6086]

Oh no. I’ve got tickets to see you for the second time this year. I’m not one of those people. I swear!!!

[@Jo11ee]

55 minutes - literally sounds about right!

[@kristenwhite2701]

Can you sing a SchoolHouse Rock song on every Pubcast? “The shot heard round the world was the start of the revolution…take your rifles, take your guns, report to General Washington…” Lolly could get some adverbs, poor Bill could sit on Capitol Hill and we could learn the function of conjunctions. Let’s see how long it takes children of 70s Saturday morning cartoons to get those songs out of their heads.

[@cnsohm]

Yes to more School House Rock!!

[@kristenwhite2701]

@@trishahaun3547 don’t remember that song 🤷‍♀️ Start me out. More things need catchy songs. I probably would have done better at math if they had the square root song or long division song. I still use the counting by 3s song.

You’ve hit PUBCAST GOLD this week friend!! Sooo funny!! I know you’re busy touring but the next time that you’re close to NYC- you HAVE to go on the AYG (Are You Garbage) podcast!! They will go NUTS over your story of collecting the cigarette butts for a nickel each!! Better yet, you were EARNING money for your Six Flags Season pass AKA “80s babysitting”… ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!

[@Ednever]

Where do I find the "Shnotes?" (Show Notes)

[@stupid8911]

You can find a shortened version of them in the Description of the KZbin videos, but I think the full version of them is only on the podcast/Spotify platforms

Great as usual Queen Termite!

Found and bought the School House Rock collection. Just to have it. Ahh good memories

I miss Dr. Lucy Jones coming on here in L.A. after an earthquake; she would be there at the podium carrying one of her kids, I thought it was so relatable, reminded me of my mom. Getting sentimental, sorry, here for the ha-has. 🙂❤. Hi Mama Termite, hi Paddles!

[@bethr4844]

I left LA partly because of earthquakes, but Dr Lucy was wonderful to see afterwards

[@SusannahPerri]

Kathleen I just love your pubcasts! My birthday is January 4th, which was the suckiest birthday when I was a kid. People are SO done with celebrating, and of course there was often the, “this is your Christmas/birthday present,” single gift excuse from aunts and uncles. However, as an adult, I’ve discovered the advantages of having that birthdate, hotels are at least half the price they were a month before and holiday themed events sometimes still have performances and available tickets. So as an adult I have a good excuse to celebrate in early January! So you’ll be coming to San Francisco then, right?? (Sigh) if not, maybe I can take advantage of those lower priced hotels and flights and come to see you! 😃❤️

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

That's great, always have been a believer in a week long celebration for your Bday🎉

[@EliCrousey]

I totally relate to this! 😄 cheers 🍻

The government has looked into pumping water from the Mississippi River to the Colorado River but, water is very heavy and it would need strong push. Plus that infrastructure would take 30+ years to build. I think they should start ASAP!

Pull tabs aka "The Jar" popular at all the military related social clubs. And, yes, how easy to end up in a pile of garbage. Rock on!

When you’re a truck driving team one sleeps while the other drives often they do have to have their meals in the restaurant at the flying J. Also what often happens when you’re sleeping in the berth of a semi is it is left running for air conditioning or heat and you sleep in there with a lot of white noise in the background. Might not hear what is happening outside.

I’m scared of dinosaurs too! Thought I was the only one( people always give me an odd look when I say that, because they don’t exist anymore) oh, and clowns 🤡 absolutely terrified of them. 🤣😆😂 Also was once paddled in 11th grade by my Principal in his office, it was really embarrassing because he was a personal friend of my parents. 😣

[@micheles.1179]

I’m sad to hear any schools still allow corporal punishment. I’ve actually looked into which countries don’t even allow parents to use this. I think too often we just allow abuse to go on until it becomes too extreme to pass off as discipline no kid should be forced to live like that. I went to Catholic school in NY for 12 years and was never ever hit at school. They actually had a “zero tolerance” policy for hitting even among students. We were told as freshman that you are never to put your hands on another student or would be expelled. In fact my high school in particular was always a safe and supportive refuge from problems at home. I think we don’t realize how many children feel safer at school than home and more corporal punishment isn’t the answer. How about investing in better social services and figuring out why a student is acting out? No just hit it 😔

I was in 3rd grade in 1988 and my teacher was the meanest woman i ever met. She gave my best friend a paddling for forgetting to bring her ruler to school for math. She also paddled a kid for failing a spelling test which was horrible because everyone in the class knew he was slow and couldn't help it. The paddle in question was a big heavy polished piece of wood with holes drilled into it. She made the kids bend over her desk in front of the whole class and gave them several swats. We never made fun of anyone who got a paddling because we knew it could just as easily been any one of us. That teacher was psychotic and unpredictable as hell. I used to turn my mom's alarm off so she wouldn't wake up in enough time to make me get on the bus to school.
