Hey, everybody, it's me, Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab

yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, let's talk about what's been going on.

Termites! It's episode 80. I had to skip a week. Most of you were very nice.

impatient about it. A couple termites. A little aggressive, a little aggressive,

but the other termites said, be your best self. Come on, two weeks off in 80. I've got

buried. I was so, I had so much fun in St. Louis. Thanks to everybody who came out to the show

and it was 33 hundred tickets and they were all sold out and I'm not saying that to

break. But my sister said, does it ever amaze you? Like, aren't you totally excited? I mean,

I'm excited about the show. I'm excited about the after party, more importantly, with

my cousins and stuff. But what's crazy is when you've done this this long, like when you

first start comedy, you don't, you're not responsible for selling any tickets. You just

show up at a comedy club and you're doozledoom, doozledub, fucky fuck, shmuckishmuck. Nobody cares.

Then when you start headlighting the clubs, though, you're kind of responsible for selling

tickets. And if you're on the right trajectory, that should start anywhere from five to ten

years into your career. And then it's just that's a lifelong thing. All I think about

is I have to sell these tickets or someone is going to yell at me. I'm going to be yelled

at or I'm going to get demoted or so it becomes more of a relief than it's fun when you

finally get to this stage. But it's a lot of work in between and a lot of running around

and all that. But it was so, so, so much fun. Um, I would say I don't even know probably

two 300 relatives there. And then when I talked about the pop, uh, the pub cast, ton of

termites, probably a third knew the pub cast. So that's really awesome. A lot of shirts,

mm-hmm, which speaking of what I put, there's going to be more of the long sleeve ones back
