[@lolah42]

Yay it’s Kathleen! Such a bright spot in the day!

[@thackorybinx1453]

Love the Pubcast!!! Makes my quarantine less apocalyptic.

[@makepeacelily5205]

Totally have missed Kathleen! Super psyched for her podcasts!🤪🤪😂🤣

[@AHammyView]

Keep this coming. I watch this in place of news in the morning and love it.

[@dianem2136]

"Why is nana throwing trees at our house?" LMAO!! Gotta love Kathleen!

[@stevelorigeiger9050]

Pubcast is the highlight of my week!!

[@renitawhite2286]

I am a huge fan. I am enjoying your Pubcast.

[@justmekath]

Thank YOU! This podcast has made my life 100% more enjoyable.

[@qsy190]

30:57 - LOL this is why I have grown fond of her brother Pat. He & her parents are at the center of some of my favourite Kathleen stories. 🤣🤣

[@BeeABaw]

Lol Iv been on vacation this week. I’m so glad of this Pubcast. Paddles background commentary made me laugh. I listen on ITunes and then watch KZbin after work. It’s a blast. Kathleen your doing everything right. You need to be on SiriusXM as a show but I think podcast can be your new thing. ❤️

[@caroltpbi]

I would listen to Kathleen rd names from a phone book. And she’d still crack me up!!

[@katiemantelli-atlantarealt2540]

same! Shes hysterical

[@debbiemac896]

Hi Kathleen. I’ve always thought you were hilarious but woman you have outdone yourself with the Pubcasts abs StoryTimes. I was listening to you in my car driving to work and did a full spit take with my iced coffee because you made me laugh so much. I’m going to make it my mission to see you live as soon as we are able to enjoy your show!

[@SB5551]

So happy for your Pub Cast! Any time we can enjoy your presence and wonderful outlook on life! Keep on! We are so happy to see and hear you! Blessings!

[@LizzyC725]

Thanks for doing this! You are my favorite comic. The history of the Ozarks= hilarious!

[@hermitgentet]

I was totally entertained and learned something at the same time. Great Pubcast, Kathleen. I'm waiting to hear the next one.

[@peanutpillado4290]

Hi Kathleen, glad you have this podcast/pubcast! I enjoy your talks. The one thing I would like to mention is, if the sound/microphone could be adjusted? When you speak softly, I can’t hear you :(

[@shellychamberlain3074]

Thanks Kathleen. Your humor and the salmon-fishing bears at Brooks Falls have made my dull and boring life this summer complete!!!

[@dorothypezzi2415]

Like sitting at my favorite pub, with a good friend (after 5+ drinks) kept me laughing and saying to myself, "I know! Right!"

[@iamanomas]

I saw her exhibit in Kleinberg, ON, Canada years ago. Kahlo was a fascinating artist.

[@denisefallin8042]

"how many yachts did Jesus have?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@barbrn]

I immediately thought of Noah's Ark.

[@jop1642]

Only discovered you last week, hope to see you in the future, possibly in Kilkenny as I'm in Cork

[@ChrisPowless]

OmG you must watch her specials!

[@kbrnmsn]

Kathleen your are wonderful break from this crazy mixed world, thank you! I had a hard time hearing today, with my volume all the way up I still need the Closed Captions on.... Don't no why?

[@waywardescapes4384]

Isaac’s Storm by Erik Larson is the book about the 1900 Galveston hurricane. Wonderful book! 35:08

[@colleenlofaro5796]

Just watched Mucho much amor. I loved him, he was wonderful and kind and a great showman. Loved it!

[@alexanderrhone2494]

Love your breakdown of Nim, more segments on documentaries please.

[@theliamay]

Galveston was one of Glen Campbell's biggest hits, ala, Tanya Tucker related information for us termites.

[@michaelmilsom9518]

These pubcasts are great! It is a level of pub 'talk' that has gotten rare once cell phones came onto the scene.

[@azona8745]

Great boating story! I grew up on Lake Wawasee, Indiana. Largest natural lake. There we have a sand bar. Big party place! Your story brought back memories! 😂

[@leewhite-graham753]

Hi Kathleen: I just discovered your Pubcast today and am "binge" listening. Thank you for mentioning the Netflix bio on Walter Mercado. What a sweet soul. I must have been living under a rock the last 40 years since this is the first time I heard off him. I hope that Bal#$%*& person gets a swift return on his Karma for killing that wonderful spirit.

[@julieharden2433]

I googled "party cove lake of the ozarks" and the very first link is "You might need binoculars to see boobs at party cove". Lol. Nothing but class.

[@deborahcrocker2770]

I love the night, night termite my husband always said that and I had forgotten ( He died 13 years ago) Thanks for the smile it gave me.

[@luv2dancesalsa465]

desperate times call for desperate measures... it's not like you were tan... BUT it was nice to get a round of applause. HILARIOUS. Thanks for sharing that little ditty.

[@laescritora174]

Casa Azul ("ah zul") is Frida's home. Kathleen you are a national treasure. But raise the volume a bit.

[@margaretsander8419]

Best podcast! Love the content!

[@Lovelylizzette]

“Storms make tress take deeper roots.” Words to live by.

[@lininomartino]

Stormsh make tressh take deeper rootsh. I didn't really understand much of that.

[@musicalmagpie741]

I always thought that the second candle was Bette Midler! Than you for this series!! Xx

[@sherrylynette2191]

Why does she sound like she is whispering? She is alone with a microphone.

[@denny3161]

ASMR side money

[@cherylsingletary2891]

I'm listening with headphones on while I do chores around the house. The Skidoo Ozark story made me LOL! More stories, please!!

[@janethoward4647]

Thanks Kathleen.

[@peggyconno]

Love the pub cast! Keep it coming. Cannot wait until you are back in person! Also please turn up the mike. Thank you

[@michellemcalpine4443]

Splendid pub chat. Laughed out loud about getting pelted with oil cans...omg, ur a great sport! Thanks from 1066 county. See u next week. Xx

[@a.k.4085]

Hey Kathy, you still live in Nashville? Love how you talk about the Midwest. 💯👍

[@beancounter1991]

Paddles needs a mic! I love the background laughter and commentary.

[@sheilagriffith2974]

Everyone is not mad at the Chicks. Their March video is much admired and an inspiration to all of us wanting a more inclusive society. Enjoyed your Pub Cast.

[@ellenjampole1905]

Nim Chimsky is a hilarious take on Noam Chomsky, it sounds like. Chomsky is famous for "transformational grammar" and being an activist. Great shows you are doing.

[@debragale278]

It'll be 2nd only to, "I don't know, somebody saw one once..." (btw, this line has finally made my smokers voice pay off, so thank you:)

[@barbrn]

She used that voice towards the end.

[@shelleyrenkemeyer3123]

OMG!! ME TOO!! Say it all the time....makes me laugh EVERY time!!

[@vene_unsweetened]

I think my favorite thing was hearing your bartender crack up offscreen. Great show. Also, about the ice cream, it’s not green but Häagen-Dazs Mint Chip is delicious.

[@gulfside98]

Are you whispering? Lol. Love the podcast so far, just having trouble hearing ya.

[@ChrisPowless]

??? I can hear her just fine.

[@skylorkatz1758]

Have to agree with gulfside-- sometimes hard to hear. Maybe because of listening with a phone. Minor issue. Love the Pubcasts and story time!

[@ginamariemiele6950]

so fabulous could listen ALL the live long day

[@SheldonHelms]

I’m really late to the party on this episode, but I’m so glad you discovered “Project Nim.” I’m a psychology professor, and I teach at a college with a large Deaf community. So, as you might imagine, I talk a lot about the various experiments claiming to have taught language to non-human primates. Herbert Terrace’s project was a disaster from the start. It was poorly managed, and very non-scientific. Nevertheless, the results were pretty much the same as every other study like it. There’s no evidence that any animal other than humans is capable of true language. Nim had simply been conditioned to associate certain signs with food or other things he enjoyed.

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

Wow! Mama Termite, I am rewatching the pubcasts and I must of been in an alternate pubcast as I don't remember the top story at all, oh wait maybe I was drunk🍹

[@debragale278]

"Then, I am just gonna tell her, I wasn't involved"...thats gonna be our catch phrase for the next week! hahaha

[@kathifoynm]

Your Midwestern humor takes me back to my 25 years living in St. Louis. We camped on Lake of the Ozarks one summer and I drove the boat while drunk. Woo hoo. One of my many bad decisions in those days.

[@yowzeh]

Love this...chatting in from Ottawa, Canada..you have any stories from Canadian tours?

[@ripmomcovid4678]

Thanks you again Kathleen for your kindness and great sense of humor. Thank you for the pubcast. I never drank but I am with you, I have to look at the things you are pointing out sideways like a dog looking at a ceiling fan. Drinking in a pool- huh? Driving over the CDs you paid for- huh? Taking a powerful animal into your home- huh? I actually do find it hard to enjoy the music or art of someone who molested kids. i find it impossible to support the work of someone who killed my mother and >180K people voting for Trump. I liked Dean Cain, thought he was a caring celebrity until I found out that he was quoted as saying how great Trump was doing for us because "the stock market is up." Really?

[@justinolphert2585]

I'm from St. Louis and I swear she's just like any person you'd meet at any corner bar in a Catholic parish in St. Louis. Probably explains why we drink so much... I even tag her as a "cultural attache".

[@meggenwalker1901]

You are my favorite comic and I am thrilled that you’ve doing this pubcast! One request... is there a way to turn up the Mike? I have a hard time hearing even with my iPad at full volume 😂🍺

[@carolmatlock8873]

This is great !! Thanks *Mint Chocolate Chip my favorite since childhood *7-11 best coffee hands down!

[@elisaatsignet184]

I hear you on not liking science fiction (or gnomes, ppl w/ pointed ears, wizards, etc.). Fact is stranger than fiction!

[@greysonadams8422]

It's not just the intake of alcohol. Some of the drownings are bizarre accidents. For example: one boat flew over another one taking the two boys, of this couple, into the lake and (I can't remember if both of them died or one of them) they didn't find him for quite some time. All these drownings happen in the same area of the lake. And Lanier is quite large. To fuel the thoughts of it being haunted.... they relocated 20 cemetaries before they filled the lake in. Love all your work. Ty for the laughs!

[@lynndazer4218]

“I shit my pants” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I also have never seen a Star Wars, now I have a line. Thanks!

[@Andrea-we6lz]

As a Canadian, we make fun of ALL American beer, just like Europeans make fun of our beer.

[@christyinprogress639]

I will have a Labats Blue

[@444LoveIt]

Omg thank you for your pubcasts, KM. Whenever I want to know what kind of bat-shit crazy malarkey is going on in the country, you bring it!

[@michaelfoxbrass]

7-11 coffee is awesome. Great selection - right price.

[@Tobaccorhoda]

Kathleen, do you know that in the 70’s (surprise) there was a lowland gorilla named Koko who was also taught sign language. She could form complex thoughts like calling a spicy radish ‘hurt mouth food’. She had pet kittens she cared for and when one of them died she signed ‘Koko sad trouble sad.’ Here’s the link. Several books and a film were made about her. She died in 2018 at age 46. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koko_(gorilla)

[@theliamay]

Kathleen... speak up! Love, someone's mom.

[@ChrisPowless]

?? I can hear just fine

[@barbrn]

@@ChrisPowless , I have my computer volume up to 100 & still have a hard time hearing her.

[@meljeffery6140]

Oh god. Thank you.

[@totocolvin]

Hi Kathleen love your podcast miss the comedy clubs being closed .My family was pre flood😉

[@strawberryrhubarbtarot]

I cheered for the Dixie Chicks.... but then again I am Canadian 🤣

[@RAnnA-yw7tw]

I'm an east coast person and I love Shipley's not Dunkin! Fyi i need a termite t-shirt. And 7-11's are coming back around Houston, TX. Woohoooo

[@w1kkp]

Your hurricane book might be "Isaac's Storm" by Erik Larson?

[@christinecaronnabeard1369]

If someone had bet me money 40 years ago that you would return to the lake after moving away, I would have bet my meager teacher’s salary (at the time) that you never would. I still can’t quite believe it. Good to see you, happy you’re safe.

[@karenroberts633]

I love Mint Chocolate Ice Cream!

[@maddiefeliciano6283]

Walter would have loved you. He was an amazing and kind man who embraced everyone.

[@nancyshelton4968]

Why are you whispering?????

[@tomtoons4232]

Love your pubcast, but had to give up on this one 'cause I could barely hear you. Hope the next one is audible. Keep up the great work!

[@ishtar0077]

4:06 did you ever visit Casabonita in Denver Colorado? I first hear of it in South Park and then i watch video on KZbin. I don't think is coming back after cov19. They had waterfall and cliff divers inside the restaurant Also there's Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Joseph Missouri, have you visit it? I saw it on KZbin .

[@AA-ew2tl]

I'm guessing "Nim Chimsky" is a take on Noam Chomsky... Yeah, I nerded this up... Also, 7-11 coffee is the best!

[@stellafox]

I'm in my 20's and I LOVE Mint Chip ice cream :)

[@nikadavise-br9lx]

Love her pubcast, would love to someday see her in real life.

[@maggieragaisis8282]

Oh, Kathleen...your conversation with your mom sounds a LOT like conversation with my mom? Are we sisters? Great show! #longlivewaltermercado

[@craffte]

Well, I'm just gonna tell her I wasn't involved. OH SHIT I LOST IT.

[@SheldonHelms]

The chimp’s name (Nim Chimpsky) is a dig at the famed linguistic, Noam Chomsky, who declared that only humans are capable of true language.

[@k8michele]

Watch the documentary the Dixie chicks did I think it’s called shut up and sing. They were filming during all that. It’s very good, highly recommend, fan or not.

[@hooks747]

fantastic...i am a fan

[@DrStevenHobbs]

Love ya!

[@nealporter8403]

Great podcast...made my ride home more enjoyable.

[@bburton260]

Hay, I thought I was the only one who loved gas station coffee. Sometimes I get 2 at a time! Luv ya!

[@lininomartino]

I was a hippie person in late 60s and early 70s. You are right we could do all the weird shit we wanted. Well, I could cuz I'm pretty standard.

[@blacklab8414]

Mint chip is so good. Try peanut butter sauce on it, people wont talk to you again. its good if you love peanuts.

[@concepciongonzalez161]

Mucho , mucho Amorrrrr!

[@Bethlam]

“I don’t know. Someone saw one once!”

[@lsc66416]

I got your back. 7-Eleven coffees are great! x

[@elizabethcollins8817]

This is probably posted but here goes...Cyclone vs. hurricane: They are basically the same thing, but are given different names depending on where they appear. Hurricanes are tropical storms that form over the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific. Cyclones are formed over the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. Typhoons are formed over the Northwest Pacific Ocean.

[@lininomartino]

Could you make Stevie sit down?

[@robertlivingston8835]

Hurricanes form in the north Atlantic and NE Pacific. Cyclones form over the south Pacific and Indian ocean. Typhoons form over the NW Pacific.

[@katiesides8797]

Do you know about a gorilla named KOKO? KOKO learned many words and even made up new ones. (ie. she had never seen a ring before so she signed "finger bracelet" and when her toy doll was put in her cup, she signed "baby in my drink"

[@123mintjelly]

Do I have to throw away my Dixie Cups ?

[@shelleyrenkemeyer3123]

I've loved Lewis for years and discovered you a few years back. Have been a loyal and faithful fan. Happened to be down between Sunrise and Laurie at this place of curiosities that is so reminiscent of LO in the 70s ..it cracked me up. If you havent been there, the owner ,Paul Garrison, is quite the character. Check it out!

[@WenbruReviews]

You need to read about Koko the Gorilla... she could communicate better than a lot of people...Robin Williams loved her❤️

[@teresacastillo1001]

Genius! ❤️You
