Keane On Things

Went down to San Diego last weekend and took part in David Wells' Perfect 33 Foundation golf fundraiser at Sycuan Casino. Got to do socially distanced comedy and interview people on the course. Great cause for Vets and their families. Met some amazing people. Wells looks fantastic and could probably still pitch. I asked people how much money they would require to take a David Wells pitch off the leg. For me it would be $500,000. 

All over the place as always, I discuss Columbus Day, the Homeless, the World Series and stand up comedy in Venice. Hoping 3rd time is the charm for the Dodgers like it was in '81 versus the Yankees. Gun, Germs & Steel is an amazing book by Jared Diamond. Also Crazy Horse and Custer by Stephen Ambrose. Wish we would've bred with the Native culture more like they did in South and Central America. Two hearts are better than one.

RIP: RIP: Joe Morgan, baseball; Roberta McCain, John’s mother, Conchetta Ferrell, actress from Two and a Half Men, LA Law, Northern Exposure, Mystic Pizza. Fred Dean, DE for Chargers and Niners, Vaughn McClure - ESPN Falcons reporter, Rhonda Fleming, actress, Sid Hartman - Star Tribune in Mnpls

Combining Hard Rock with Rock & Roll may not sound like a thing, but it is. It's called Van Halen. I talk about that  and the loss of Eddie Van Halen in this episode. Other things covered are Lebron and the Lakers recent title, a day with the Bodell brothers and father, husband, coach and humanitarian Jimmy Nolan. There's a gofundme account under 'The Nolan Family' you can contribute to. A couple sound glitches that somehow I made it through. Thanks again for listening.

RIP: Eddie Van Halen and baseball players Whitey Ford and Jay Johnstone

Completely scattered episode today. Turned 48 a week ago. Went down to OC. Peak time of the year for sports. Am I finally a Laker fan? Baseball, hockey and basketball playoffs and football at the same time? Is OC sick of me yet? The debates and presidential covid. Daddy fryer and voting comfort zone. 

RIP: Bob Gibson, Helen Ruddy (singer), Dudley Riggs (comic), Road Warrior Joseph Laurenitis

Birthday episode. They can be the best and worst daze. Now we sip champagne when we thirsty! Went down to OC for the weekend. Good to be around loved ones for those. Can be an emotional time. Thanks to friends for cake and drinks. Thanks to mom's for having us. Hopefully we're worth the pain! 

RIP: Gale Sayers, #40 #Bears

More absolute nonsense made it's way out of my mouth on this installment of the podcast. I discuss, the Clippers early end, the Keepers on Netflix, my return to Japanese language study, America's constant need of an enemy and more!

RIP: Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Alien Huang 

Return of football, down in OC reconnecting, Santa Margarita High School, Mom's birthday, Lion's open the season with heartbreak loss yet again, Raiders and Rams win.  Gridiron meaning and who was St. Margaret? Voice and energy were shot, but trying battle on! 

RIP: Diana Rigg, actress, Crime novel author Shanna Hogan, Kool and the Gang’s Ronald Bell, Toots Hibbert from Toots and the Maytals

As I reach my quarter of a century mark, this is a complete scatter job. Just all over the place. I discuss Cobra Kai, male grooming, some football memories, the HeatWave, new FansCenter idea and so much less. Thank you for listening. 

RIP: Lou Brock, Tom Seaver, Leslie Hamilton (Linda Hamilton's twin sister)

Everyone should be in therapy. Get a second set of eyes and ears on that brain of yours. No shame in it. Perspective will help set you free. Jim Gaffigan goes off? More like Jim Gaffigan goes ON! This guy knows what I'm talking about. Lou Holtz on Fox? Yikes. 

RIP: Chadwick Boseman, Cliff Robinson, Lute Olson, John Thompson, Riley Gale, lead singer of Power Trip

In this episode I discuss nothing of importance for the 23rd straight week. Quite remarkable actually. Readjusting after being away from home. How leaving and returning are both good. The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz. Outdoor comedy down in Orange County at Bistro K, my friend Katia's ristorante. After Skool clips on Youtube. 

RIP: Ben Cross European actor, Wanda Lewis, TV’s Capt. Windy
