Madigan's Pubcast Ep106: Russia’s Dolly Gets Mouthy, Indian Cheetahs, & Patagonia Saves The Earth

[@stacybearse4217]

Thank you so much for these pubcasts, they are the highlight of my week. I have to share a story, I live on the south shore of Boston and I had surgery a week ago. I pretty much am laying low and healing but after a week had to go to the grocery store. I was feeling pretty lousy and didn't even realize I was wearing my Madigans Pubcast shirt. Behind me I hear someone yelling I'm a termite too. I didn't even turn around, but she came right up to me and said it to me and it dawned on me that oh my god shes a Kathleen fan too!! We had a nice talk and I left smiling and grateful that I had to go to the store. Just wanted you to know that your termites are everywhere and they are being good and making people happy even when not feeling good. Thanks for everything!!

[@JC-uj3zj]

Great story thanks for sharing. Cheers to you and a quick recovery. I would probably talk to any other termite as well. 😁 we're all special peeps. 🤣

Queen Elizabeth II funeral, I watched the whole event on BBC. They did a fantastic job. I watched all 10 days, now I have no idea what to do with myself. Thank God you and Paddles are here!!!!

[@EliCrousey]

Awwwww yaaaaay!! Baby Cat!! So adorable! 🥰 Thank you for another great show Kathleen and Paddles! 👍👍🙌🙌🍻🍻

[@evelynnemelo98]

Awww, Baby Cat's special appearance was so cute!! And, Kathleen, your review of the Queen's funeral made my day, LOL. Can't wait to see you in Royal Oak, MI in October!

[@pthibodo]

I just learned about Lewis Termin. "After WWI, Lewis Terman, a psychologist at Stanford, decided to do a long-term study following a group of extraordinarily intelligent children, whose IQs averaged 140. He called them the “Termites.” I thought of you immediately! Malcolm Gladwell wrote about the Termites in his book, The Outliers. Just thought you would want to know, if you don't already. Thanks for the pubcast and for keeping all your termites so well informed.

[@sheilaburns8977]

Hi Mama T and Paddles. I recalled that you mentioned on a recent Pubcast about the Rhine River drought, so I thought you might find this information interesting. I was listening to a news report about the current drought in Europe and in some parts of France, you can now walk across a river. Also, in the Czech Republic a lengthy drought has exposed carved boulders, known as "hunger stones," that have been used for centuries to commemorate historic droughts, and warn of their consequences. The folowing warning was carved in 1616 and read, "If you can see me, cry"; first seen in 2018 and now resurfaced again during this drought. Another hunger stone's inscription says, "We cried, we cry and you will cry." YIKES!!!

[@kristenwhite2701]

“I actually forget I’m trying to do something” 😂 I have the feeling that won’t even be the best quote. Definitely the first best quote

[@christinewilcox5469]

Ahhhh, sitting down with your new podcast just made my nerve wracked day so much better! Thank you!!!!!

[@jenniferbarnes4647]

Yay!!! Love to hear from my friend, Kathleen Madigan!!!!!

[@pamelasago9628]

I think French's used to make potato sticks that came in a canister. I remember them hurting my mouth if I ate them wrong as a child! I just had a memory pic when you brought the Utz ones out. I love your show. It always makes me hungry! Welcome Baby Cat!

[@ellenjampole1905]

Loved the appearance of Baby Cat! What a beautiful cat. Yeah, there needs to be a Baby Cat t-shirt like @Lily Pudding said. About wealthy people donating - some of this is present, some is past. This barely scratches the surface of what they did. Tom Yawkey, owner of the Boston Red Sox, lived in Georgetown County, SC. He donated his land to SC as a wildlife preserve & for research purposes. He also donated funds for Georgetown Hospital & a boys’ home. His will set up the Yawkey Foundation which has donated to Mass General, Boston Medical Center, set up scholarships for students with financial need, helped the homeless, and more. The YF is still very active in donations. The Huntingtons, super wealthy families descended from the same forebears, did a lot of donating. Here’s info about some of them & only a bit of their work: Collis P. and his wife Arabella were abolitionists. They funded what is now Hampton University. Collis has a building named after him @ Tuskegee University which was dedicated to education Black women; Arabella financed the building after Collis’ death; the building is still in use. Collis’ nephew, Henry E. donated his family homestead to the city of Oneonta, NY to be a library and park. Arabella married him after Collis’ death. He & Arabella founded the Huntington Library, Art Collections, & Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. Archer M. & his wife Anna Hyatt Huntington (a sculptor) built Atalaya Castle (now a part of Huntington Beach State Park) & Brookgreen Gardens. Both were donated to SC after he died. They donated funds & land during the Depression, established museums, and donated land to two different colleges in the State University of New York system. One piece is Camp Pine Knot, a “great camp,” on Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks. The camp was “sold” for $1.00 in 1947 to SUNY-Cortland to be used for educational purposes.

I always keep a $2 bill in my wallet. It's a tradition that my dad passed down to me since my grandfather always carried a $2 silver certificate so he "never went broke."

King Charles III was basically raised by the Queen Mother & he was very pampered. Emma the Queen's horse was beside the procession. 💔😞

Having Vicki transport the jewelry would be a good idea, except she doesn't make left-hand turns anymore. So it would probably take too long!😂🤣😂🤣

Re Andrew taking Corgis - I’m told that he gave them to her so…but initially I thought I could hear them scheming to give Andrew the job of royal poop scooper.

What do you set the A//C to? You’ve had a sweatshirt on all summer and talk about the heat 😂

[@kristenwhite2701]

The TSA would suspect your mom as being in on a heist. They always pull my 80 year old mom aside for a pat down. Seems suspicious that she can’t use the scanner because she uses a walker (and still ask every time “can you make it through without it”) and can’t get her arms over her head. Not a good get away driver or terrorist. Guess they think “this lady clearly has nothing to live for, she’s probably hiding explosives”

[@kdrake777]

Sky New Australia Live on KZbin is the best for all things UK. The funeral commentator was excellent!

[@ashleystearns2486]

Hilarious - as usual. The Tower of London is home to The Crown Jewels (and the Raven master and the ravens): the state crown on the purple pillow, the scepter and orb - and a whole friggin’ lot of other jewelry. And that’s in addition to her PERSONAL jewelry: Diana’s Lover’s Knot tiara (belonged to a the wife of the Tsar of Russia, I think), the tiara that Meghan wore when she married Harry (which was a gift from the last Queen Mother), the Pearl chokers her dad and Prince Philip crave her, the diamond Bow brooch the Guide Girls gave her, which was her favorite - and TONS and TONS of gifts from heads of state (check out that diamond/ruby tiara and parreure from a Saudi king that she wore when she hosted Trump). Only what she got at her wedding, I think. After she became such gifts became part of the Crown Jewels and belong to the reigning monarch. Baby Cat (a/k/a El Mencho?) looks fat and happy. Thanks, Mama Termite. Man - you work a lot for us!

I bought five, two dollar bills in 2003, and I have one two dollar bill left. I have given my daughter to give all my grandchildren two dollar bills from the tooth fairy from 2003. My youngest granddaughter received her two dollar bill about three weeks ago.

I can hear baby kat talking on audio recording and here: 6:31: All of your back catalog of cd recording bits are under you tube "kathleen madigan - topic" kzbin.info/door/8IgCozO7g58Xrg7U2yJ_tQ 3:39: Pik Nik is the reg kind that the rest of the US gets and again for some reason they are popular enough overseas that Asian markets in US will carry more than just reg flavor.

No it’s not possible for any 18 wheeler to go 140 mph. Average speed for 18 wheeler is 55-70 mph taking into consideration cars get in front of us and slow us down. Its not possible to drive a large truck even the size of the largest uhaul at 140 mph. Top heavy and wind resistance slows you down. Also consider curves, construction, down grades, up grades and anything else you have to adjust speed for. When I was driving high value loads we had to fill tanks prior to picking up the load and not allowed to stop for any reason for 3 hrs. No excuse. Just for reasons of theft. This story of brinks jewelry is some solid bs inside job. My thoughts.

[@DanSlaughter85]

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

We had potato sticks back in the day too ! And I’m older then u Kathleen! I don’t think they ever went away? I watched all the Queens stuff because I think it’s curiosity more then anything- glad we don’t have a monarchy!

After being dragged to multiple bachelor parties for straight dudes, as a gay man was not that fun I just talked to the strippers about their shoes. They had an ATM machine that only had two dollar bills at everyone of the strip club. So you can make it rain for like $100

Sooooo you say you read all of these but can't reply. Well, I left a Pompeii calendar for you in Austin. I gave it to Jodi (red curly hair) after the show. We thought it was hilarious when we were there and have kept it as a momento of our trip in 2005. I thought it might be worth giving to you the way other people give you trinkets. I'm thinking you didn't get it and now neither of us has the calendar. 😥

What about a termite team? But we have to give half of our winnings to charity. And you have to prove it.

[@HaphazardHomestead]

I always like the gold dollar coins, more than the two dollar bills. I could order the coins from the US Mint, free shipping right to my door, and get miles on my airline credit card. I liked the old Presidents. Nobody knew Millard Fillmore was a president and would question if that was even real money. I felt rich with a pocketful of gold "dubloons". I used them a lot when I traveled for conferences and meetings for work. The coffee shop people would get to know me right away and were really nice. The cab drivers liked getting whole rolls of them, to give to their kids. I only had one person not enjoy getting those coins. But then NPR radio did a Big Expose' about the credit card miles and the US Mint stopped the free shipping. I am still sad about that, and the banks never have the gold dollar coins. Nobody likes the two dollar bills near so much.

My grandmother was very superstitious and she tore the corner off of the $2 bills. It was just the corner, so they were totally useable. I used to see a lot of them like that when I was kid and teen in the '80's-'90's. Whoever wrote they weren't useable in that article just made an assumption because they didn't understand. It doesn't really make sense for people to render the bills unusable.
