Kathleen opens the show drinking a shot of Eggo Nog Sippin Cream from Sugarlands Distilling in Gatlinburg TN. She reviews her holiday weekend in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, visiting the Sevierville Buc-ee’s and tasting moonshine at Ole Smoky Moonshine and Sugarlands Distilling. She went hiking and saw numerous black bears over the course of the weekend, and finished off her trip with an afternoon at Anakeesta.  

QUEEN NEWS: Kathleen reports that Queen Taylor Swift struck a solo deal with AMC Theatres for her Eras concert film, and Queen Dolly Parton has a hilarious excuse to turn down tea with Kate Middleton. 

“GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for delicious not-so-nutritious food, Kathleen samples a Buc-ee’s pulled pork sandwich and Buc-ee’s White Cheddar Nug’ees.

UPDATES: Kathleen gives updates on the possible cause of the Maui wildfires, a photographer has captured the Loch Ness Monster in the most exciting photos ever, Alex Murdaugh requests a new trial, 

“HOLY SHIT THEY FOUND IT”: Kathleen is amazed to read about the discovery of a rare 30 million-year-old whale fossil in Alabama, and a 15 million-year-old skull of a sea creature was found on a Maryland beach.

FRONT PAGE PUB NEWS: Kathleen shares articles on the collapse of Burning Man after torrential rains caused flooding and road closures, Milwaukee’s Jack’s American Pub will pay bar tabs when Aaron Rodgers and the Jets lose this season, the National Zoo pandas are returning to China in December, a record-breaking 800-lb alligator is caught in Mississippi, the Infinite Blue diamond could fetch $37.5M at auction, and Mattel’s first-ever theme park is opening in Arizona in 2024

LYRICAL BREAKDOWN: Kathleen compares the lyrical breakdown of Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like An Eagle” and Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood.”

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

Tonight's episode 149. I'm going to have to do something special for the 150th anniversary,

0:32.7

right? I have one week to think of something, get my shit together. One week, maybe nothing,

0:39.2

maybe a little 200. That's just pure laziness. So many things, so much this a big episode,

0:45.6

because a lot has gone on, a lot has gone on, and a lot is going on. Well, right now

0:52.4

I'm reveling in the Burning Man people. I mean, I don't care who goes to these festivals,

1:02.7

whatever. The art out there does look fantastic, and the outfits look fantastic. None of it,

1:07.7

I am not a visual person, so none of that would occur to me. I can't even think of a Halloween

1:51.7

Now, if it's super cold, I have like snowy icy, I don't know, I'd just lay down on the

1:55.6

side of 70, and somebody would pick you up, and trucker would pick you up. Now you might

1:59.5

get raped and murdered after that, but at least you got a ride. You got a ride. There's

2:03.1

no rides in the desert. There's no rides out here. There's no nothing. It's just a recipe

2:08.6

for, I don't know. If there's any termites that went, I'm not judging that. I'm just saying
