Keane On Things

Happy New Year. Can't believe this pod made it to 42 episodes. Did I just call it a "pod"? Ugh. As if. Gag me. Once again, I fail to stay on one topic. I think I jump ship sometimes because I don't feel it's interesting enough. Whatever. I discuss my love of the NY's holiday and how it brings us globally together more than any other holiday. I also get weird on the Wizard of Oz. Hoping for peace in 2021!

RIP: Pierre Cardin 98; Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island); Mike Fenton (casting agent), Paul Westphal, NBA player and coach; Floyd Little (college and pro RB); Gary Marsden guitarist; Michael Mayock Sr.

I talk in this episode about the Todd’s I know, Phil Villapiano and the 70’s Raiders, Christmas in AZ, the process of aging out, the upcoming NYE show in Downtown Vegas, The Kids In the Hall, Cardinal DeAndre Hopkins, the shameful Ram’s uni’s and the wacky NFC West.

RIP: Kevin Greene (Auburn, Ram, Steeler, Panther, Niners) Played college ball with Bo Jackson, coached the Packers, basketballer and coach KC Jones, pitcher Phil Niekro

Somehow I've made it to 40 episodes of this madness. Thank you for listening. I discuss a recent family holiday cookie exchange, the band Keane, Notre Dame in the final four, the need for parking meters to take pennies and what am I gonna do about aliens? 

RIP: Lidia Menapace, Italian activist, and Fred Sassakamoose, Native American pro hockey player.

I talk in this episode of my desire to connect the country and world through their love of sports. I was happy with the USC/UCLA Mascot episode and trying to get a YouTube following. May start a Patreon account and throw all my slop on that. Still with iFinancialGroup two weeks strong! Witnessed some chid abuse this past weekend that has me torn about how much to involve myself.

RIP: Chuck Yeager, Tommy Tiny Lister (Deebo), Ray Perkins (football player and coach), Dick Allen & Rogelio Moret (MLB players), Paolo Rossi (Italian soccer player), Charlie Pride (country music singer), John Le Carre (author)

In this episode I discuss sponsorship by iFinancialGroup of San Clemente, CA and the stonewall that is Todd Bodell. I talk about the legacy of Marv Marinovich and our journey to the ND/USC game of 1989 together and my physical mediocrity as an athlete. And I also touch on where I'll be after LA. AZ or OC possibly? Thanks for listening.

RIP: David Lander (Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley), Marv Marinovich, Decathlon winner Rafer Johnson

I discuss Thanksgiving and the recent loss of a friend. Being in AZ and visiting Tombstone. Also, a comedic legend signs off from Late Night Television, but not necessarily comedy. That man's name was Mo Green. Actually it is Conan O'Barbarian. Contribute to 'The Fightmaster Fund' on Gofundme if you can. RIP to dear friend Lesley Fightmaster. 

RIP: Diego Maradona, David Prowse (original Darth Vader)

In this episode I mistake the word "vaccine" for "antidote" cause I can't get the opening scene of Temple of Doom out of my head. I discuss Thanksgiving week, my new LA mechanic, why it's absolutely comedians who should be discussing politics and sleeping naked with socks.

RIP: David Dinkens

A weird calm week for us all? Election has been decided. Everyone taking a breath hopefully. We can now focus on pandemic, the holidays and eventual inauguration. I discuss comedy Zoom shows and crippling shyness over the course of my life. One of my favorite movies is One, Two, Three. State of stand of stand up comedy in the Zoom era. 

RIP: Tommy Heinsohn, Paul Hornung, Howie Meeker (Toronto Maple Leafs)

What a week. A turn in the US election just as I was about to update my European Passport. High tailed it to Austin to get away from SoCal for a bit. Unreal town. America seems happier now. We'll see how long that lasts. 

RIP: Alex Trebeck; Carol Arthur; Dom DeLuise wife and Blazing Saddles Star

I discuss the Dodger World Series and the impact of Dave Roberts as a manager, but also as a player for the "04 Red Sox. His stolen base ignited a franchise and a dynasty run. Hopefully he's part of another dynasty in blue. He's off to a great start. I also discuss election eve and how everything should be really mello afterwards! 

RIP: Sean Connery, Billy Joe Shaver (songwriter), Herb Adderly of the Packers, Walter Wallace
