Madigan's Pubcast Ep121:Ransoming Eggs, Remembering Free Bird & The Migration of In-N-Out Burger

[@pamelamiller3501]

Was it just me or my computer but was the audio a bit low this episode? I had my volume up as far as possible and still was straining to hear.

[@cj_kirby]

Yep, same here. Sound was hard to hear until the closing music came on, nearly blew myself out of my chair.

[@adamkriedeman3294]

Very low yeah

[@carole6779]

Not just you. I had to keep my hand hovering over the volume keys for the whole Pubcast. Never a dull moment with Mama Termite. 🙃

[@mjgerleman]

Very low volume...

[@timsullivan67]

Same here.....couldnt hear her at all when she whispers

[@pietruin]

People! Kathleen has been traveling her butt off, feeling sick, yet she comes home and does her Pubcast for us. For free. If something isn’t technically up to your standards, and you feel you must register a complaint, could you at least also include your appreciation of how hard she works to entertain us?

[@claireroberts8999]

I agree! And this is the first time we’ve had this super low volume out of 121 episodes! Chill everyone, I am sure Paddles will fix it for the next Pubcast.

[@thegrumpyyankee5328]

Agreed!! She is the absolute best.

[@pamelamiller3501]

It wasn't a complaint but a question to the audience because I am never sure if it is me and my technical ineptness or my computer's speakers possibly dying. But thanks for being butt hurt on behalf of Kathleen.

[@dorothymazzanti]

Consider me chastized.

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

I'm with you, plus she was sick and her ears were slightly clogged probably, I mean I know from experience flying with a cold causes me to feel like I'm in a bubble

[@claireroberts8999]

Cheers to you Kathleen and Paddles! Another great Pubcast!!🍻

[@jenniferbarnes4647]

Thank Goodness for you tonight, mama Termite!!

[@andreafield2777]

Still remember calling the operator when I was a kid to get the time and temperature. Those were the days! Thanks for bringing us the cool news Mama Termite!!

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

And the surf report

[@elizabethcollins8817]

Thank you! Always enjoy your pubcast 🌹

[@chyralreasoner2155]

My first well paid job was as a long distance operator for Michigan Bell. I went to the west coast in 1978 and worked various jobs for “the phone company”. Retiring in Dec 2020. It was a union job with decent benefits. That is long gone.

[@urtoo2311]

Thank You “Paddles” for the podcast fix. I heard every word, LOUD & CLEAR. Especially your contagious laughter :0)

[@lindapgolan7070]

Cheers from Termite Linda, great show!!! Glad you got the beers!!!

[@maritamcnichol8849]

need to make the volume louder.

[@David-le2kr]

Couldn't listen this week even after adjusting sound on my phone. Sounds like only Paddles' mic is live.

[@sheilaburns8977]

Speaking of operators, a clip of Ernestine/Lily Tomlin recently showed up on my KZbin page. Haven't seen Ernestine in years. She is too funny.

[@lisanorris8516]

Thank you for mentioning Robbie Knievel! I thought I was the only one who noticed. Kids today have no clue how awesome both he and his dad were!

[@jasonmc7967]

I think your father would say "your little pubcast doesn't mean a god damn thing if no one can hear it Kathleen "

My Mom was a Long Distance Operator in 1947...she resigned and raised 4 children..went back in 1968 and worked until she was 69 and retired in 1997. She loved her job and was very proud of her accomplishments. AT&T was a very good company to work for in the day. She had excellent benefits and retired quite well.

[@kristenwhite2701]

Towmmy and Aaron both done. You’re right on the Niners. Purdy fan.

[@wasjustwondering880]

Raising hand here in North Carolina, I was a telephone operator in the 80's. Night shift was the worst, that's when the bored drunk people (mostly men, just sayin) would call and make being polite very challenging. 😁

[@sylviabotelho7945]

Bad volume. Love the show. I've become addicted! It was hard to wait an extra day

[@Kuhng]

Dolly, Stevie and Cher singing together. The new Holy Trinity

[@chrstinehuber7228]

i think i can clarify about the dress code rule! we used to have the same rule about not wearing sleeveless (and not that long ago, either). it's not about the bare arms--it's because sometimes, looking from the side, the arm hole may gap and allow you to see a bra strap or side boob. Whatever. Still ridiculous, but that's why they had the rule. (They also told us the actual percentage of foot that could show when you wore sandals!)

[@stupid8911]

Whoop-whoop, shoutout to Woodland Hills!! Hehe. We love us a mattress, Mama Termite.

Sorry you aren't well and I understand you but you are such a trooper and me too and so shocked I watched the Golden Globes the night before so shocked and sad poor children 😢

[@rebapieczynski4752]

I worked in a department store and they had a dress code for woman AND men - nothing sleeveless. I was told it's because some women do not shave their underarms and the store was not allowed to tell them they had to shave, so the no sleeveless policy was to cover up the underarm hair. Might explain the new Congress policy - their mistake was to single out woman!

I worked a PT weekend job answering calls at a hospital. Here are some of the calls I'd get : "What's the LOCAL time?" (as if I'd quote them the time in the Yukon); "What time does the Wave Pool open?" (my response was, Sorry but I work 7 days/week I have no time for the Wave Pool); "What's that place where you walk thru a brain?" (I was at a loss on how to answer this one); My personal favorite: Caller (male): "do you have the morning after pill?" ME: You DO know you've called a Catholic hospital? Caller: Huh??? We'll do you have it? At this point, the devil on my shoulder wanted to say, "If you'd kept your pecker in your pants last night, you wouldn't be making this call. But alas, I'd say, "You should probably call another NON-CATHOLIC hospital.

Elizabeth Holmes still shows 'no remorse to her victims' and continues to live on an estate costing $13,000 a month, prosecutors say Kate Duffy January 20, 2023, 7:21 am  Elizabeth Holmes lives on an expensive estate while appealing her conviction, prosecutors said in a court filing.CNBC/Getty Images Elizabeth Holmes lives on an expensive estate, prosecutors said in a court filing. They said her estate costs $13,000 a month in upkeep, according to cash statements from Holmes. The Theranos founder still shows "no remorse to her victims," prosecutors said. Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes still shows "no remorse to victims" and is living on an estate costing $13,000 a month during her appeal, US prosecutors said. In a court document filed on Thursday, government lawyers said Holmes had lived on the estate for more than a year. They said the estate costs more than $13,000 to maintain each month, according to cash flow statements Holmes has given to the US probation office, per the document, reviewed by Insider. After being found guilty of four fraud-related charges, Holmes in November was sentenced to 11.25 years in prison. She appealed her conviction in early December, according to court filings. Holmes "continues to show no remorse to her victims," the prosecutors said in the document. Under the justice system, criminal defendants should begin serving their custodial sentence, the prosecutors said in the document. But Holmes wants to relax her travel restrictions due to "vague references" to her partner Billy Evans's work schedule, they added in the document. Holmes has listed Evans's salary as $0, but has also said that he paid the bills every month, the prosecutors said in the document. "There are not two systems of justice - one for the wealthy and one for the poor - there is one criminal justice system in this country," they wrote in the document. The prosecutors said it was time for Holmes to "answer for her crimes committed nearly a decade ago" and "begin serving the term of imprisonment imposed by this Court," per the document. Holmes, who was depicted in the Hulu drama "The Dropout," which starred Amanda Seyfried, dropped out of Stanford at 19 to start her blood-testing startup Theranos and grew its value to $9 billion. She's expected to report to prison on April 27, 2023. Read the original article on Business Insider View more on Yahoo Finance Update privacy choices
