Keane On Things

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 Adderl...

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 l...

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 Americ...

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....

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 May...

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

Instead of 'On The Road Again' by Willie Nelson. I spoofed it and created laughter for millions! Finally back from summer travel. AZ, Jackson Hole, Downtown Vegas. The southwest is on fire and I've had the joy of experiencing it in all states with my mother. Bistro K show in Laguna Niguel this Sat, Aug 22! RIP: Trini Lopez, actor and singer from The Dirty Dozen (movie Jim Brown was in where he sai...

In this episode I discuss doing a podcast from a Toyota for 2nd week in a row in Jackson Hole, WY. Seeing family. The importance of resetting. Understanding punk rock more as I get older. Ellen and her "meanness?" Even more about the Beatles. Bringing my mom to Vegas show this weekend. RIP: Irish Peace Prize Winner, John Hume; Reni Santoni, Poppy from Seinfeld, Dirty Harry, Bad Boys, Cobra, Privat...

I'm visiting my sister and her family up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and doing this episode from my mother's 2015 Toyota Camry in the driveway of her home. I felt like a madman, but it's probably all in my head where we all spend most of our time anyway. A great time of year to be in a great place. Feeling very clear headed though I sound quite the opposite. RIP: Former NHL forward Eddie Shack, 4 Map...

Performed in KC this past weekend with Steve Byrne and got to meet the great Brian Doyle-Murray at his house there in town. We went twice! Steve and Brian worked together on Sullivan and Son from TBS. Unreal stories. Brian's having knee replacement surgery this week so good luck on that. He and his wife Christina are an absolute joy. We had wonderful BBQ three straight days. Thanks to Steve yet ag...

In this episode I get lost in my own brain and can really empathize what it's like to be in a conversation with me. Sorry. Social Distance show in OC at childhood friend, Katia's Bistro K was a smashing success. I discuss junior high, OC, Marc Maron podcasts, Charles Manson podcast, memories that are just out of reach,  RIP: Grant Imahara (Mythbusters), Benjamin Keough, Lisa Marie Presley’s s...

Begrudgingly filed for unemployment this week. Don't know if it'll happen. Where to go from here? Had coffee which messed me up for a few days. Gonna look into MUD/WTR, less caffeinated brand. A great show at The Surfer Rose was shut down mid show. WTF? Gotta balance news intake. The Mission was a great movie with a fine cast! As was Mischief and Secret Admirer! RIP to Ennio Morricone, Charlie Dan...

Proud to be an American? More like Loud to be an American. This guy knows what I'm talkin' about. Fourth of July blues like I've never seen. Did the English throw the Revolutionary War? We've gotten far from our revolutionary roots. I'll celebrate July 4th, when all Americans can! Correction: 2.9 million Americans are infected by Covid, not 2.9 million worldwide. Trying to stay cool in AZ. RIP: Ca...

Three straight weekends away. First longer stand up sets in awhile. My pathetic take on the MeToo movement.  Male comics need to be there more for female comics. Heading to Jackson Hole this week. Copper Blues Live, great club. Airplane and Airplane 2. Thank you to Steve Byrne once again. Sound is a little funky, sorry about that. Still working out kinks. I love the Kinks. We lip synced them...

Just back from Vegas with Steve Byrne and friends. Downtown Vegas is experiencing a resurgence. Show was great. Return to stand up is funky as are rooms of 15% capacity. We made it work. I think. Mob Museum is a must when in DTLV. Father's Day today. Miss the pops but what a great life and we had a nice sendoff for him.  Meant a lot to a lot of people. Really had a lasting impact. Realize mor...

Did some biking and wine tasting in Napa with some HS chums. Tasted more than wine. Beer and booze also. New beer I love is an Italian beer called Italia Birru or something I can't remember. Green bottle. Sore bum from non-padded pantalones. Chappelle's 846 was brilliant. BLM movement is being perceived as other things? Differentiating between anti-war and anti-troop. Possible to like country musi...

What a week. Marched in Culver City for Black Lives Matter. Sad we have to make that a phrase.  Trying to operate on highest playing field instead of letting this death and movement be a divisive issue. The big three corporate news networks are not your friend, not news, not trustworthy. They are entertainment. Keke Palmer is a bad ass champion. Intelligent, peace loving, tough, communicative...

If you can get past my breathing and lip smacking you may enjoy this episode. I talk about Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, In-N-Out burger, driving Uber and The Pharmacist. I should call this podcast Keane of consciousness. It's all over the place. 

In this episode, Patrick, (me, as if someone else is writing this), talks about Memorial Day, PTSD, the troops, Patton Oswalt, Seinfeldia. Ideally, I'll get better on fewer topics instead of being all over the place. Finished the book Seinfeldia. Just unreal stories. So many factors made that show possible but mainly it was hard work and synergy with Jerry and Larry. The show is a big reason I got...
