Madigan's Pubcast EP80: Trolling Oligarchs, Girl Scout Conspiracy Theories & Stevie Nicks vs Putin

[@karismith5079]

AGAIN Thank you Kathleen for continuing to make pubcast episodes for free for us termites!! FOR FREE termites! I enjoy these each week and totally appreciate the time you spend with us and preparing these. (look forward to Tuesdays because of these) So grateful the free entertainment that you and Paddles provide for us! 😍💖🐜

[@flowercook3142]

I’m so thankful for all the story times, pubcasts and travel postings you’ve given us the last 2 years. You’ve broadened my world, introducing me to subjects that would never have been on my radar and uplifted my mood so much!

[@davidfrania8990]

"I'm just trying to avoid drunks and logs!" Termites, these are definitely words to live by! Kathleen , you're the best! Love you!

[@traciebolton1951]

I came way late to this party! Its awesome! Thank you Kathy! I listen to Madigan again every night to relax myself. You are wonderful! Thank you!

[@adriannenash9852]

Have fun catching up on the back episodes of the pubcast, new termite! Be well from Washington state ❤️

[@sheilaburns8977]

Kathleen, thank you for continuing to spend time with us Termites. Love the Pubcast!!! (re: Girl Scout cookies. I miss buying thin mints for my Mother every year.) .... PEACE to ALL.

[@Roe-RoeG]

Episode 80?!? WHAT! Kathleen thank you for doing these pubcasts! 😎💕😎

[@musicalmagpie741]

Episode 80 - Congratulations!!! We’re all incredibly grateful!

[@amandalafleshe5153]

Kathleen, thank you for the pubcast 80!! Missed you last week but totally understand you needing to miss a week here and there. Just thankful you are keeping it going!

[@kimlippert7405]

I'll watch whatever you put on. Don't listen to those people. You're the best for keeping the pubcast going. Take whatever days you need. You have a life too.

[@judahdwyer-dahlstrom3312]

☆Kathleen, even when not Pubcasting, you stay in touch with us with delightful check-ins. No "sorry" Mama. Thank you!☆ ~My parents made sure we went up in that arch, a year after it opened (very brave, I thought). Monkey cages, cricketing sound, rough ride. I was terrified. Damaged until today.The view was secondary, although impressive.

[@suefox6164]

Termite Sarah is awesome for making that pillow! She's my kinda people.

[@louiselmf6671]

Well that's disappointing to hear that not everyone was gracious with you having to skip a week. God forbid you make a living. This thing that you don't get paid for should be a priority. He he he I view the Pubcast as a treat so Thank You for this. 🤣Louise in Austin

[@joemurray4688]

From a Storytime and Pubcast termite, thanks to you and Paddles for the FREE laughs.

[@hollyedmiston3332]

The StL show was great-glad you had a fun time with friends and family, and your nieces and nephew were so cute on stage!

[@micahcraven6576]

A pubcast this early?! Yes! Thank you for posting early! :)

[@GGsInterests]

Love your quote from Stevie AND thank you for every pubcast, I feel blessed to have found your wonderful, FREE, work, when so little has been available. You are wonderful.

[@MarkERoth]

I appreciate you doing this at all now that you are working again. I hope you had a good international ranch dressing day Mar 10th.

[@briancatenoakes4062]

Greetings again from Canada. The greatest quote of the 20th Century “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” Hunter S. Thompson

[@kimtrevino3029]

That ol Hunter.

[@beljw]

Glad to have you back!

[@SarahSemo]

Congrats on 80 Episodes. I love your podcasts. It gives me joy to listen to you. Love what you do! Keep it up.

[@kimberelydavis379]

Oh my gosh! This is AWESOME! How have I never seen this?? All those Queens are my favorite ones too! ❤️ Thanks Kathleen! 😃

[@micheles.1179]

Thank you for continuing to bring this wonderful pubcast! You are not failing mama termite and everyone deserves a week off!

[@dgs8011]

"If you just admit you're weird, other weird people come along for the ride."......Words to live by.

[@cnsohm]

Congratulations on **80** episodes! Thank you for keeping up the Pubcast! Also, they made a diamond OUT OF RANCH DRESSING!!!

[@maryroberts9539]

Always glad to see you, Kathleen! A week off is necessary occasionally.

[@nataliemcgovern3087]

Yeah!! It's Pubcast time!! Welcome back Momma Termite!!!

[@SeeStuDo]

Love ya Madigan. Thanks for 80 fun pods! 💚

[@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778]

Thanks as always, Kathleen. You’re continuing to keep me sane. 😇. I am happy that your St. Louis hometown show went very well.

[@BertNielson]

Seriously happy with this Pubcast. I got to the top of the arch and my brace on my leg broke! Made getting down quite the challenge.

[@jakel6374]

Wore my Pubcast to a pub before enjoying your show in St. Louis. Great show!

[@Tobaccorhoda]

I’m old enough to remember Archbishop Fulton Sheen and his famous TV show. Before him was Father Coughlin on the radio. Catholics were never opposed to proselytizing on the air it’s just that the protestants do it so much better.

[@chrisbeckman8181]

Saw your til tok post. Came here. Keep doing what you do. Your awesome! :-)

[@pamelasago9628]

Love you and the Pubcast and Queen Stevie! Thank you so much for sharing her post. What does anyone expect from a former KGB? Not a mentally healthy lot. Please take time off when you need to and stay healthy; we Termites will be here whenever you post #81!

[@valleygirl2530]

Mama Termite HEY!! ☘️ took me a while but I finally figured out HOW MUCH you Love doing your wonderful Pubcasts! You’d probably set up the mike and the “Dolls” then take off with no one watching. You are clearly a Mad Genius ☃️⛄️🌮🍺TY Madame M.

[@al82216]

Thank you for continuing to do the Lord’s work here! I look forward to the Pubcast every week & am incredibly appreciative of you and Paddles spending this time with all us Termites. I’ve been watching the Dropout and have been wondering what you’ve thought about it (I already know what Paddles thinks haha). Thanks again and also, the Pubcast t-shirt is the real deal when it comes to comfort! Worth every penny!

[@kristenwhite2701]

You get an A on sound effects - even the shipwreck sounds bring the story to life. Figured we would get a bang with the cat. You have a hilarious gun shot imitation.

[@1tsweets]

Saw The Van Gogh exhibit in Cleveland and it was mesmerizing!!! You have to make time for it. Getting tickets for the Banksy exhibit asap. Come on back over Madigan and join me! Thankyou for being you and sharing yourself with all us worthy termites!!

[@kellieledonne5572]

Awesome as always! Thanks for all you do for us, we your loyal termites. Love the Stonehenge explanation and the Nessie pillow from that creative termite is awesome! Safe travels, say hi to Paddles and thanks again.

[@Packerfan101]

Breaking news!!!! Salad dressing maker Hidden Valley had a lab-grown two-carat diamond made out of ranch seasoning to celebrate National Ranch Day. Do you have any Ranch???? Kathleen you are trending. Thanks mama termite for another great pubcast!

[@Jasper-77]

Thank you for still doing these pubcasts even though you're on the road.

[@elisaatsignet184]

This was my favorite pubcast! Full of history and hilarity! 🍻 😎

[@margaretdow8723]

Happy 80 thank you for all yours and paddles hard work

[@carolynspohrer8493]

Great seeing you in Charlottesville!

[@karenroberts2383]

Thanks for #80. St Louis is the only place for toasted ravioli. Arch is amazing. Agree there should be a bar up there. Love the whole Pubcast. Banksy will be in Denver when you are here in June. (2 days before me and hubby's 34 anniversary!)

[@stephh3663]

WOO HOOOOO! FIRE! SO excited! Saw her Saturday night Virginia Beach. 2nd row CENTER! AWESOME show. LMAO....#froze our asses off in Virginia Beach

[@rtindal]

Kathleen... I am @Texanfan from twitter. I "complained" about you taking a week off from the pubcast. I assure you that I was 100% kidding. It was (unfortunately) poorly worded. Termites took me to task immediately. I have deleted the tweet and apologized, but I am assuming my tweets have been hidden from your timeline. I never dreamed I would be taken seriously or I would never have sent it. I absolutely love the pubcast and listen every week. It is my hope you see this and know I am very sorry for this unfortunate incident. Fellow termites... please help me! I don't want to be a bad termite. I want to be a termite in good standing once again.

[@rtindal]

@@joeaarsen0 I didn’t include emoji’s or anything. It was a poor effort all around.

[@patriciaboyer7431]

You’re a good termite. you’re a loyal termite. Sorry that your words were taken too serious.

[@rtindal]

@@patriciaboyer7431 I’m certainly a humble termite now!

[@naomicampagne3775]

Saying 'sorry' is a good first step. Now buy some merch and watch a few ads! We love our Kathleen👸

[@sedanylo]

This is the only thing that keeps my house clean. Sometimes I listen twice through. Cottage clean af.

[@curtisbell2417]

We used to call the drive from Florissant to downtown, Dad's 50 cent tour. When our Michigan relatives came down, we had to go see the stumps that someday was going to be the Arch. Was worth the wait.

[@shawnehartnett3979]

Being from New York State, maple is a flavor I love! Thanks for the heads up on the maple pop tarts. 👍 I too am a "renegade" and prefer them untoasted. Always have. Saw you two years ago live in Syracuse NY. Awesome show. Can't wait to catch you again soon.

[@margaretgreen1741]

Don't feel guiltily about not doing the pub cast for a week. You do it out of the goodness of your heart and we appreciate it. Boy people must have an addiction to you if they can't go a week without you. Lol.

[@angelafields8319]

Whooo. *singing * Cel-e-brate good times! C'mon!

[@mustardseed308]

Every time you say 'Fire' this 🎵 song jumps into my memory. Fire from Crazy World Of Arthur Brown. 1968.

[@anneporter123]

Mitch's wife was secretary of transportation. I think you could blame them for the roads in Kentucky safely.

[@---Tre---]

I loved Ron on the Pubcast!!

[@sandrakleinman7215]

You can see paddles in the reflection of the budweiser case!

[@briancatenoakes4062]

Greetings from Canada! Breaking News - Hidden Valley Ranch creates "A Diamond from HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH SEASONINGS"

[@marybaker1993]

Oh my gosh!You talking about the arch and going up it brought so many memories back to me.we went there when I was like 10.I m now in my 60’s.and I was terrified of heights.my dad made me and my sister go up in it and I will always remember it like lurching all the way up.scared me to death!

[@jesscopeland3051]

Hey Kathleen ahead of Saint Patrick's Day wanted to make sure you knew about Dolly's song We Irish. A perfect song to drink some green beer to

[@Neverland4747]

"You don't even work at the weather channel Pat" BEST line from the show🤣😂🤣

[@chuckmcgill8224]

As Gary Gulman has said, "Every cookie is a sugar cookie. A cookie without sugar is a cracker."

[@Dougief12]

On your number 80 pubcast you said that no one liked ron white when he was on. I wanted to let you know that I thought it was one of your best pubcasts. And that's saying a lot since they are all excellent.

[@D8606-p2]

I like seeing Ron.

[@dorischeney5216]

I love when Ron White is on your podcast!

[@heatherconway4975]

When are the 2022 tour shirts coming out?

[@sarahreichow1311]

LOVE that you own the moniker, "renegade"🖤

[@roniy.6622]

Ooooh, a “Nite, nite, Termite” , from the Grand Termite? Yes please 😊, for we are worthy Termites😇

[@Pamnskye]

Gawd...some hilarious observations K. Lol'd many times throughout this one!

[@beancounter1991]

Congrats on Episode 80!! The extra 1/4 of a day = Leap Day on our current calendar.

[@KimofCoventry]

I remember the ride up the arch in those clothes dryer drums! Standing on my tiptoes to lean up and look out the tiny windows, even though I still hate heights. Please come to RHODE ISLAND. Even close in CT or Mass.

[@pigskinpeg]

Thank you for pubcasts - it keeps worthy termites going! How do we sent you something for your update?

[@MPARTEE1]

Got my Irish termite t shirt…sooo soft I love it

[@sarahwithanhyouheathen3210]

Omg i remember going up in the Arch in my 20s with my cousins and the ride up and down was BY FAR the scariest part!!! The sound you made to imitate the monkey cage inside the Arch brought those memories rushing back and i broke out in a cold sweat 😅 but once you're up there, it is neat to look out the tiny windows and see all the stuff below. I thought it was cool seeing planes way closer in the air too lol

[@michellealtrui3420]

This episode is my new favorite episode :) Thank you Kathleen - Girl Scouts rule and all cookies are fattening so the haters have no real point. Peace

[@MrsParksIsInTheHouse]

KM:”I finally found my people!”❤️

[@ashleymaude979]

i am coming to see you in augusta! thank you for coming to our sick, small town. i apologize in advance.

[@annegross9543]

Where the “Do you have any ranch?” teens at the after party? Happy 80th Pubcast! 🎉🍺

[@markboron5581]

Kathleen I know it would be more work but if the show was a multimedia event where you could at least pull up pictures or short videos as you talk about them that would be soooo cool!! Either way, long time listener - love you gals!

[@carriedodd718]

On the Facebook, Queen Stevie explained that this was NOT a diary entry, but a song. That explains the reason for the strange formatting: she's singing to him. It's like the karaoke words of a song. She might be crazy, but creative crazy.

[@timsullivan67]

Hey Kathleen, April 30th in Delaware! Cant wait to see you!

[@michelledonnelly6086]

Paddles is right, it’s not dumb, it’s emotions. (Hard but accurate advice from Paddles!) Let’s see that Irish! The loyal thirsty termites love ya both!

[@aseattle1]

Kathleen, have you seen Netflix's "Inventing Anna"? Since you were obsessed about Elizabeth Holmes, you would love this!

[@christine8823]

Nay, nay! I love Ron on the Pubcast.

[@rayvenmaynor903]

Hey Paddles, I’m on board with your death penalty ideas & I love your laugh 😂

[@lunacali]

Thank you. ❤

[@janiceherd1960]

Love gingerbread pop tarts,haven’t seen them in a while.

[@dmatos7706]

They don't want to have books about history, gay, women's rights, black heritage.....etc., etc..... Very sad that these individuals want to use double speak to decriminalization against anyone they see as different. 🤬

[@brendat1077]

Hey Termites! Mama T. you are right on, as usual...no details. I am behind on Pubcasts...playing catch up. Damn!

[@georgiahogue8588]

Here’s a good Woody Allen quote for you, “ Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night. .”

[@Tobaccorhoda]

Death by disappearing slowly is called dwindlitis on the down low among ducks and nurses. Lol

[@Tobaccorhoda]

Docs. For Pete’s sake.

[@fromshadeswithlove2208]

Dolly's Library program is for kids [her words] from age zero to 5. I'm guessing dingbat is worried the truck might be painted like a rainbow??holy f! p.s. 80 pub casts with min of 5 topics each? way cool! Thank you!

[@PooNinja]

My family puts the fun in funeral 🤘🏽

[@Bartcmh]

Where did you find that letter of Stevie’s to Putin? I’d love to read it. When Stevie speaks, I listen. Thank you Kathleen. BTW are you ever going to do another Netflix special?

[@mikerichards779]

Love from Columbus Ohio ❤

[@georgiahogue8588]

Good old Paddles....Chain Gang, electrocution....You go, girl!

[@lindamazur6124]

I'm the same age as the space needle also a Seattle native , it's a bit more iconic than I am though LOL. It was built for world's fair . I really enjoy the pubcast .you and Lou help get me through the weeks . I'm finally heading back to Scotland on Friday , YAY !!! Going to get married ! Eek I had to leave my fiance almost exactly two years ago right before the airport shut down ,landing into no paper products having Seattle. I was like WTF ! Will I come back? Maybe , maybe not

[@wallyfayewells]

I immediately thought of the babushkas! Amazing women!

[@lynndawson1080]

On Netflix, the wildlife of Chernobyl, very interesting, and kept the attention of my Cat,Liam, he is my spe...cial buddy

[@leewhite-graham753]

Thank you for telling Pat Robertson to stay home. If he actually read the bible, it says only God knows the time the world will end. We don't need him, along with a few others I can think of. PS LOVE my pubcast shirt!!!!!

[@anitat7876]

They are not termite worthy. Love the podcast. Miss it when your working.

[@ThoreauvianTube]

"i know weather" okay dying

[@robertlivingston8835]

Which comic said that God would wake Pat up at 3 am and tell him to check the air pressure in his tires. I think it was Robin Wiiliams.
