My Dad was Treasurer for his local Elks, he ended up quitting because in his words "the old folks have nothing to do but complain", My Dad doesn't put up with any shit. An Irishman to the core, son of immigrants, miss you Dad.
So true. The old folks especially complain during election year (guess we all do). This time around it’s just overload with the craziness. Sitting around a bunch of old folks recovering from their old folk ailments is a real hullabaloo
Yes, I was visiting Key West and enjoying the quiet life when a cruise ship dropped anchor and the whole place erupted with hordes of people everywhere it’s just crazy.
Exactly, and some of these ports see several mass cruise ships per day. That’s got to wreak havoc. Not to mention the cost of upkeep to the port to accommodate these huge ships.
Regarding the paying for the bathrooms, when I would go to Poland flying into Czech, my coworker warned me that you pay for public toilets. I didn't know anything about the currency so I held out a bunch of kronas (Crowns) to an old woman in a babushka. She was as confused as I was since I was probably offering her a hundred dollars American. She gave me lots of toilet paper though!
My daughter's OCD has ruined her life since she was 12. She's just getting back on track at 17 but is continuing treatment. It is horrendous so thank you for spreading awareness and resources.
I bartended at the Elks Lodge in Oceano, CA. They told me they raised money for good causes, so I said, with these cheap drinks, they should have a shirt that says, “we crawl so the kids can walk”. I was also bartending at the country club in SLO at the same time. Both members only, but otherwise completely opposite in every way 😆 what a hoot
Paddles is correct when referring to the animal: elk is both singular and plural, just like moose and fish. However, a proper noun such as Elks Lodge/Club is spelled as tbey choose. In Fernie, BC there is an Elks Lodge (spelled w the s) though the Elk River flows through the Elk Valley where Fernie is located and there are many, many elk.
University of Central Oklahoma are the Bronchos, not Broncos as their mascot. You get to spell it the way you want if you are club, group or university apparently.😂
My very first job (in 1978- 16 years old) was as a busboy at an Elks Club#888 in LBC on Saturdays(wedding receptions) and Sundays(buffet). Elks are notoriously bad tippers. I ended up quitting because they forced us to pay into the Restaurant Workers union but refused to represent its workers. I was making like $2.35 per hour(minimum wage, part time) and had to pay union dues! They refused to give us a raise or advocate for us! When I confronted them, they told me- and I quote EXACTLY: "Were not that kind of a union!"
As an elementary school librarian, I can definitely confirm that kids absolutely devour the Guinness World Book of Records! I pay several copies every years and they are NEVER on the shelf. Great for reluctant readers, too!!
My Dad was in the Elks when he began to work full time in the Insurance Business in the City. So proud when he drove me around the Financial District on a Saturday, to show me the tall building where he worked during the weekdays.
Went in to an Elks lodge once, sat at the bar, got a glass of beer, asked the bartender how you become a member and got escorted out before we could finish the drink.
I’ve seen the purple paint in Arkansas and Texas while hiking and kayaking. While kayaking you know not to get out on the banks with trees marked along the river. What if someone found a fishing spot in the woods and got some purple spray paint and marked a tree so maybe they can have the spot to themselves? My mind thinks crafty but I don’t have the guts to ever do it. 😆😆
Hi Kathleen and Paddles. I lived in Britain in the 80’s and my favourite drink at the Pub was Lager and Lime. Have you ever tried it? It wasn’t a piece of lime in the lager. They added some kind of lime syrup to your pint and it was delicious!
Hello Ozfan, in Australia we have always had the 'shandy'... beer with a dash of lemonade, but when I was on one of those bus tours of Europe in the 1980's everyone was drinking Beer with a dash of Grenadine. (I didn't try it, I don't even loike a shandy.) Anyhow, a shandy was considered a "lady's drink" but most blokes said it was good for a hangover. (I grew up in a country pub, but do you remember the shandy?)
I think the next episode should involve some research on HOA's. I saw a report on them and people really do lose their homes over some crazy small things. HOA's have so much power and have created some real nightmares, such as older people losing their home over extremely small payments they missed. Seriously, it's insane and so wrong when it's extremely minor infractions. There are companies that run some HOA and they're unmovable.
Hello - fellow Missourian and long time fan. We are remodeling our 114 year old home and found a red Missouri sales tax token in the wall. Had to look it up to see what the heck it was.
🫶🏻 Ugg. The TS Vienna shows. I know it’s just breaking but you guys are my friends and I’m so sad for all of the fans and Taylor 🥹 She doesn’t cancel shows easily. I know she’s very unhappy about the whole thing. 🫶🏻💗Love you Kathleen and Paddles!
Watching and listening to all your old stuff today at work. So funny no matter how many times I listen to it! I love it. You are the best. Can't wait to see you in Wilmington, NC. BTW, Copper Penny in downtown Wilmington has the best onion rings.
The problem with the tourists is they are there for the pictures and many don't care unless they can show off...many disrespect the culture or just don't even care. I am grateful to have family in Italy so that I can appreciate it in an authentic way.
ARGHHHH. Harry and Meaghan's "Worldwide Privacy Tour" as per South Park nailing it right on the head. I wish they would please skink away like Wallis and Edward but I don't think Meaghan will do that because she needs the attention/admiration. By the way, it's now known that Wallis was completely bored with Edward and cheated on him despite the fact that he gave up the throne for her. It's just a matter of time...
On Carrie Underwood: She was super productive w albums and touring like crazy due to being locked in to her contract. I suspect she’s happy to have a sit down job in one spot while she raises her kids.
On the smaller islands in the Cyclades it's a one port for everything situation, it's where the ferry from the mainland docks, where ships unload supplies, and where the cruise ships dock too
I lived in Milan many years ago. And a trip down to Venice just a train trip away. How lucky was I? I don't think I ever want to go back to Venice because it would be so bad.
Please remember Harry was 12 when his mother died in a car accident. And at age 12 his father made him walk behind his mother's coffin. And also remember his father was not at all interested in anything other than camel, he had not been concerned in either child for some time. Harry is a giant figure on the world stage for sure and I agree Markle is dodgy in regard to her ambitions. Perhaps she is like Wallis Simpson. But I do not think Harry is like Edward.
I flew one time on Spirit, and it was one nightmare after another from the get go through the non-existent employees at the desk for the transfer that I missed because of them . Never again! I’d rather a train or a bus.
In my 40s I’m into boy bands more than ever 😆 I have 2 daughters, 7 and 4. They love the Trolls movies and the most recent one was all about the boy bands 😆 it’s a really cute movie
Moose & Elks…since I live by Rocky Mountain National Park in the summer I hear a lot of tourist questions on those two. Then you tossed out Jeopardy and I’m creating the category moose & elk. I’ve got the time. One of the octogenarians fell & broke a hip & daily rides to visit rehab are over an hour each way. I’m on a Madigan tangent. I need to be a Moose for all the beer this requires. Weeks of visits enough…can’t imagine what you went through with all the time Jack was in the hospital.
I’m so hoping that you’re coming to Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 2025. We desperately need laughter here. The Washington Pavilion is a very cool & nice venue. Ask Lewis Black. He preformed here in 2023 or 2024 💜
Since your dad died, did your mother start smoking again? Nicotine is a mild anti anxiety drug. You should introduce her to vaping to give her something to do. And add some menthol to clear out her lungs. You might want to do the same. And for sure Lewis should! Vaping is therapeutic. : )
About dressage- the real issue is that the human events in particular gymnastics is human dressage- it would be torture for me… I think mammals that have train abilities can get to very unnatural activities
In response to your Badminton bashing lol…Badminton is not just for backyard BBQs. It’s a high school sport in many places. Granted, it’s not as popular here in the US as it is in other countries.
My Dad was Treasurer for his local Elks, he ended up quitting because in his words "the old folks have nothing to do but complain", My Dad doesn't put up with any shit. An Irishman to the core, son of immigrants, miss you Dad.

with the size of cruise ships these days you can understand how upsetting it is for locals when a city drops anchor and 5000 people get off.

“It’s summer, not everyone’s being productive” mind flashes to Monday Motivation with Baby Cat videos 😂
Dressage……..How come they don’t do it out in the wild? I busted out laughing when you said this Mama T! So true!! 🐴 😂🤣😂🤣

After all these MANY pubcast you still make my week with all the information & the "Lord's work" you do. 😀

Read the comments paddle. Tell Kathleen that elks and moose are similar to knights of Columbus (catholic org).
I just realized, where's pocket Anita? 🤔

Wow, bears, now that's what I call a water hazard.
