0:00.0	Hey, everybody, it's me, Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab
0:12.9	yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, and let's talk about what's been going on.
0:17.4	Turbites! I am back from the Great White North. Oh, I can see a big carton on the window.
0:29.1	I just put all the burps food up. Sorry, it caught my eye. Oh, my God. Wisconsin was so much fun.
0:35.6	Wisconsin, I really think they may be the nicest people in the United States. I really think so.
0:42.0	And the whole state is underrated. People just don't know. Even other Midwest people, like
0:46.4	Missouri people, my cousin Mario has been up there to the delts. But a lot of Midwest people don't
0:51.6	think of Minnesota and Wisconsin in the winter. We just stay where we're at in Missouri or wherever

1:42.6	To be carrying a bratwurst grilled cheese, cheese curds, a meat stick, and cheese whips, all
1:46.6	stuff to the glass. But that's why I love that place. Nobody cares. There's just an agreed upon.
1:51.9	We're all going to weigh 15 pounds probably more than we should. Who gives a shit? It's freezing.
1:57.1	I would weigh 400 because I would never want to go outside because it's usually cold.
2:00.9	And there was seven inches of snow that day. This is a baby Miller high life. And it comes for
2:05.6	free with your Bloody Mary. That's their thing up there. You get a free little beer back.
