0:00.0	Hey everybody, it's me, Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grabbed
0:13.0	yourself a drink? Full of a bar stool? Let's talk about what's been going on.
0:18.0	Hermites! I don't know who made up the name, Herakwake. Herakwake, because it was an earthquake.
0:40.0	The 5.0 is nothing to not write home about either. I was out in L.A. for some fives, and you
0:47.0	definitely feel them in the middle of the quote. Herakwake, but it's really a tropical storm,
0:53.0	but if you go into it and look at Dodger Stadium, there's now a moat outside of it, but then I have friends.
0:57.0	I've been all my little weather reporters. My boots on the ground in the L.A. My friend,
1:03.0	Bob and Clark, Palm Springs, but they're not in Palm Springs. Everybody sent in
1:08.0	the little weather reports in Branson, and my agent Heidi. There's just no rain.
1:15.0	There's no flooding in some parts, and then other parts, it's crazy. Crazy town. Like you can't get the Palm
1:20.0	Springs because now the road is washed out, and I mean, I'm not in charge of science.

1:37.0	But when we are making up new names for weather, I mean, this is seemingly getting serious,
1:43.0	and I'm not an alarmist, but hurricanes in Las Vegas. I mean, I used to do a joke about
1:50.0	wherever I went, they would say, oh, we never would have weather like this. Seriously,
1:54.0	we've never had our hurricane in Omaha. This is so weird that you're here for it,
1:58.0	because then it would fuck up ticket sales, and nobody was to come out. But when I said hurricane in Omaha,
2:02.0	that was the joke. Well, now these things are actually happening. Like I don't know who's in charge of fixing this,
2:09.0	but you're sucking all of Canada's on fire, and then Hawaii with the wind and the thing.
2:17.0	And I'm so sick of hearing about conspiracy shit. I can't. I love conspiracies if we're talking about fun ones.
2:25.0	Bigfoot, like that's not even a conspiracy. It's a theory. It's a maybe.
