Keane On Things

In Portland this weekend and got to see how much of it is back. Like the supposed "riots" in LA from recent protests, so much of the narrative is exaggerated hype.

Queen City in Ohio called Cincinnati housed me for a couple nights. Good to see friends and family. Great restaurants for sure.

On my way back from New Mexico I stopped at the Four Corners, where AZ, NM, UT and CO meet. It's great for running out the clock. A lot of people find it boring but I love that stuff. I don't have a lot in common with most people.

Finishing out four month tour with Frank Caliendo. AZ to Texas to midwest to East Coast. Never had the string of one nighters and week long club dates like we did for this one.

At what point is accumulation of wealth and lifestyle too much? At what point is it infringement upon the standard of living of other nations or socioeconomic groups?

Garbage echol. Was in Vegas for a free trip. Got to hear timeshare pitch that was very delicious. Got to see old friends and a lot of comedy in Vegas. Perfect town for Mother's Day.

The unfortunate passing of The Alarm's frontman Mike Peters this week had me nostalgic about the mid-80's and my class at St. Catherine's elementary school in Laguna Beach.

Pope Francis, NFL Draft, Caliendo Cartel, Breakfast Club.

Traveling the midwest with Frank Caliendo. Been a joy watching him work.

The sound is echo-y because nothing works in life. Training, upbringing and education are important, but do you have that hustle muscle? I'm learning it at 50.

The sound is echoing cause technology doesn't work. Great shows this weekend in Texas with Frank Caliendo.

Parental Involvement is greatest difference in a school's success regardless of affluence level. We're addicted to social media in a more unhealthy way than we were ever addicted to TV. TV is cocaine. Internet is meth. Social media is fentanyl.

Changing locations and life direction is difficult. Feel like I've been doing it since March 2020 and pandemic. More freedom and clearer thinking, but also fear of the lack of ceiling.

Quick trip to OC/LA for shows, St. Patty's Day, tax doc drop off. What's the difference between fun and happiness? We don't want real news.

Life in show business moves pretty fast. You need to know where and when to take off ramps. I def missed a few but feel like I'm now more aware and can see clearer.

Acting legend Gene Hackman passes away and reminds me of the great films of 70's, 80's and 90's.

Was in Flawrida the past two weeks which in 'Gone With the Wind' is referred to as "Spanish Country." It was just off in the distance and it was just accepted that the Spanish occupied that area circa 1860-1870, before the Spanish-American War. Who knows?

Great week in Tampa. Haven't been to Sidesplitters in years. Great hang with Steve Simeone as well.

Al Pacino is way different than you'd think. Excellent book called 'Sonny Boy' all about his upbringing in South Bronx.

Opening up off stage can help you open up on stage and result in success and happiness in both.

Detroit Lion loss has me depressed yet again! And I'll go back for more next year. Great season but the playoffs is a different season.

More insane ramblings about the college football national championship, the NFL playoffs, the fires and the slaughter in Gaza.

Just constant slop coming out of my mouth. Absolutely groundless, poorly sourced nonsense. Don't listen. Get help.

So much happening in a short time this time of year. A lot of travel and comedy. This podcast is all over the place. Save yourself and don't listen.

More random commentary by the week that was. Accidentally posted last week's. Monday was tough but bouncing back today. Thanks for listening. Hope it helps somewhere in your lives.

Is there a Tipping Point going on where public opinion will favor upheaval?

Turned a corner this week working cruise ships. Had the best week of shows I've ever had. Connected more than ever. 2nd time a corner's been turned in 6 weeks.

There is an unhealthy level of isolation and maybe I'm reaching it? Hope not. Some is natural with the profession I've chosen, but when is enough, enough?

Where are the Americans? Despite our loudmouth self righteousness, we are nowhere to be found in these wars draining us of our resources.

The most amateur breakdown of the recent election that you'll find. Are we really that surprised? It is sad and disappointing that people had no problem with a genocide and funding two wars but are crestfallen by the election results.

Dodgers take the World Series in 5 games over the Yankees and renew a long standing rivalry that dates back almost a century from their days in Brooklyn.

Give yourself a chance. Bet on yourself. Put yourself out there.

Transitioning back to open mic's has been humbling to say the least. Hopefully can move up the pipeline faster here than LA since I already have some experience. Open mic's are harder than full arenas.

Threw up one last shot for Mascots and can now move on. The subject of our pilot is ranked #1 in the country and could win the national title.

Couldn't ask for more with these baseball playoffs. Excited about possibility of Tigers/Dodgers.

Transitioning back from AZ to NY. Been mobile for 3-4 months now. Too much.

Been all over the US the past 3 months. Too much maybe. Looking forward to being stationary next week in NY. Opening for Steve Byrne in San Jose this weekend.

In New York for a few months and loving it thus far. Mind explosion. Chaos yet harmony.

Am I addicted to grief? Depression? Sadness?

Headed to Chicago this week to perform at the legendary Lincoln Lodge. America still willfully deaf and blind to genocide.

Void's present themselves in life and fortunately or unfortunately, that opens the door for anything to enter.

Misplaced episode somehow. This episode focuses on our addiction to perhaps the most dangerous thing, comfort. Forgoing self-improvement in favor of ease or convenience.

Got to spend a week with my teenage niece at her summer volleyball camp at Tufts University. Very fun and educational for both of us. Great kid.

Sorry, the sound sucks. Content is okay. Drove me mum cross country again. Enjoying time in Southern Michigan before heading to Boston.

Back half of trip finished and now back in AZ. Middle East was a learning experience for sure. 16 hour flight back to LA. Yikes.

First week of two in the Middle East down, one to go.

Is there such a thing as being in touch with too many people? Whose fault is that?

Lovely going away party from my friends as I head to AZ from SoCal.

First time at Comedy Mothership in Austin and it could not have gone better. A club that just nails it! Thank you once again to Steve Byrne.

I get the episode # wrong in the opening but it's kind of an episode about being addicted to victimhood and allowing that to be the cornerstone of our existence.

Nashville and then Birmingham. Many different worlds within all worlds. Had to make some tough choices this past week.
