The Rich Keefe Show

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Thursday, July 17th, 2025.

HR 4 - John Henry gave the green light for a big offseason trade and signing, but its been a while since he's been ok with a big trade at the deadline. Should fans trust that Henry will let Craig Breslow make a big move? Then, lots of basketball talk and producer Joe Braverman wants Sox fans to have lower expectations out of the All Star break in tonight's Arcand Fire. And, Stephen Colbert shares that "The Late Show" won't be renewed in Clickbait.

HR 2 - With less than a week away from Training Camp, Rob Gronkowski is high on what the Patriots have done, but assuming the playoffs are in play might be asking for too much. What are the biggest things that need to be seen to change those expectations? Then, Tom King of the Nashua Telegraph joins to further the conversation about a potential trade for Terry McLaurin and Mike Vrabel's coaching style. And, McLaurin will be turning 30 during this upcoming season, but is that enough to keep a potential trade away?

HR 3 - Christian and producer Joe Braverman give their wish list of trade deadline targets they'd want the Red Sox to acquire. Is starting pitching still the biggest area the Sox should look for? Then, in the New England Nightly News, the viral couple at last night's Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium has got conspiracy Christian going. And, a review of the ESPYs and Shane Gillis' monologue.

HR 1 - One day before resuming their season, more rumblings about the upcoming trade deadline surface and there seems to be some confidence about the current group. Are the lack of sellers going to hurt the Sox chances of making a big buy at the deadline? Then, Damian Lillard and TJ Watt are going to play for the teams that drafted them in different ways in tonight's 6:30 Headlines. And, a little Who Says No deal off of a CBS prediction saying Jarren Duran and Emmanuel Clase being swapped for each other.

The 76ers big commitment has another injury, the NBA keeps teasing us with expansion, and Megan Thee Stallion found a new NBA man among other things in the Arcand Fire.

Everyone can see that the Red Sox should be buyers at the trade deadline, but there are still some lingering fears that those above Craig Breslow won't sign off on making a big add to help the team this season.

Its the story everyone is talking about; the couple caught on the kiss cam at Gillette Stadium during last night's Coldplay concert, to which Arcand has a wild theory about how the couple was exposed so fast.

Christian and producer Joe Braverman tier off their trade deadline targets they'd like to the Red Sox go after. How many pitchers made the list and is getting another bat in the lineup more important than a starting pitcher?

Christian is joined by longtime friend Tom King of the Nashua Telegraph to dive into the Patriots and goes back and forth with King about Terry McLaurin's age being a factor in a potential trade. Also, King says Mike Vrabel will be more closer to Bill Parcells as a head coach than Bill Belichick.

Fan-favorite Rob Gronkowski is high on his former team saying "you can't question their offseason moves", but expectations need to be tampered considering the performance of the Patriots over the past number of years.

Tonight in the 6:30 Headlines, Damian Lillard goes back to his original team, TJ Watt ends his contract issues with the Steelers, and Caitlin Clark is out for WNBA All Star festivities.

Chris Cotillo had an article at MassLive giving early thoughts on what the Red Sox should do at the trade deadline. With whispers of the team being comfortable with their pitching setup, the Sox shouldn't be assuming this staff is playoff caliber without help.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Wednesday, July 16th, 2025.

HR 1 - Baseball has been rocking and rolling with their All Star festivities that has brought popularity back to the MLB. From a local standpoint, will that be enough to convince John Henry and others that the Red Sox bare worth investing in? Then, the 6:30 Headlines feature the WNBA's showcase at Td Garden with Caitlin Clark and Bill Belichick takes a compliment from Robert Kraft and turns into another dig at the Patriots' owner. And, Drake Maye may have the highest chances for a big jump in year 2, but don't overlook the struggles early on in minicamp.

HR 2 - Its a basketball hour as Christian gets into Jaylen Brown's comments that are still hung up on things of the past. Is Brown still somewhat being hung up a concern ahead of what will be "his" team this season. Then, Dan Greenberg of Barstool Sports joins the show to discuss Jaylen's comments and how different this offense will be from other Joe Mazzulla coached teams of the past. And, like it or not, Caitlin Clark is bringing eyeballs to the WNBA, but the over-protection from fans is reaching a new low.

HR 3 - Christian gets to chat with host of The Skate Pod and frequent guest Bridgette Proulx recapping the Bruins' offseason, if anyone should be extra excited about who will be taking the ice for the black and gold, and if Jeremy Swayman will have a better season than last year. Then, the New England Nightly News goes over the recent news after the verdict in the Karen Read case and a rat problem in South Boston man's backyard which Arcand has a solution for. And, people taking the Blue Line yesterday were not pleased with having to be evacuated off yesterday.

HR 4 - The final hour begins with Arcand Fire which reacts to some jokes from Shane Gillis' ESPYs monologue and producer Joe Braverman talks about how the swing-off from last night's MLB All star Game can be applied to other leagues. Then, there were some pretty big swings and some big dongs from the All Star Game in tonight's All Star edition of The Dong Report. And, a Florida man just steals a trolley for no reason (except for one) in tonight's Clickbait.

Just because its the All Star Game doesn't mean we're not looking at all the dongs both past and present from the midsummer classic.

A big update in the Karen Read trial post-verdict and a man in a Boston neighborhood has an issue with rats which Christian can help solve in the New England Nightly News.

Bruins' writer and host of The Skate Pod Bridgette Proulx joins the show to recap the Bruins' offseason, why nothing real exciting happened, and the job security of Jeremy Swayman.

Arcand chats with Barstool sports' Dan Greenberg about the recent Jaylen Brown quotes being something to keep an eye on, but not get hung up on and how this upcoming season will look nothing like a typical Joe Mazzulla offense.

Recent quotes from Jaylen Brown have him seemingly still hung up on him making sacrifices for winning and all the previous issues he may have had. Why being the Celtics' new number one option should be more exciting to Brown and are these comments concerning to fans?

A big night at TD Garden as Caitlin Clark was on display sparking a potential WNBA team in Boston and Bill Belichick took a big shot at his former owner Robert Kraft after Kraft seemingly praised him in the 6:30 Headlines.

Off the heels of a good Home Run Derby, the first-ever swing off in the All Star Game showed how much baseball is back ascending with the product they put out in Atlanta. Also, does Red Sox upper management believe this team can continue their hot streak?

HR 1 - The MLB did a great job with the Home Run Derby except for how fans watching on ESPN saw it. However, Arcand says baseball is in a great spot with how they are targeting the youth. Then, a few Red Sox legends have some complaints and Terry McLaurin has some frustrations in tonight's 6:30 Headlines. And, there was a list of the 25 best NFL teams in the last 25 years and you'll never guess who is in the top spot.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Tuesday, July 15th, 2025.

HR 3 - While everyone may expect the Patriots' offense to take a jump, on paper their skill groups are still near the bottom of almost everyone's projections. Can Josh McDaniels help the offense climb the rankings? Then, a man survived falling off of Mount Washington and his telling his story for the first time in the New England Nightly News. And, Christian and Mets' slugger Pete Alonso share one thing in common: they want more fighting in baseball.

HR 4 - The red Sox played so well into the All Star break that Alex Rodriguez is giving praise to them, but while A-Rod shows love, Mike Francesca shows hate for the new Superman movie with the most unique of descriptions. Then, Rob Manfred is considering MLB participation in the Olympics while producer Joe Braverman has an idea to make All Star baseball festivities more engaging in the Arcand Fire. And, a Cleveland realtor put up odd sayings on billboards and even doubles down on the decision to keep them up there in Clickbait.

HR 2 - All hour long, Arcand is joined in-studio by Gordo and Sammy from "Play Tessie" for a Red Sox power hour. How much faith can fans put into the Sox that their hot stretch will continue after the All Star break? Then, everyone now seems to know the needs at the trade deadline and the guys throw out some names that could fit the bill. And, Sammy cautions everyone about getting hurt about another potential Red Sox falloff.

Tonight in the Arcand Fire, Rob Manfred considering MLB participation in the Olympics, Chargers add to their jersey collection, and producer Joe Braverman has an idea to make the All Star break in baseball more fun and engaging.

A man who survived a fall off of Mount Washington is finally speaking after multiple facial injuries in tonight's New England Nightly News.

Even with the addition of Stefon Diggs, the receiver room in Foxborough didn't make a huge jump and Arcand still sees most of the NFL ahead of the Patriots among that skill group; which could've been solved if the Pats went bigger on their receiver target in the offseason.

Christian continues his chat with Gordo and Sammy from "Play Tessie" about the needs for the Red Sox at the trade deadline and which positions are of the utmost importance.

Arcand is joined by Gordo and Sammy from the "Play Tessie" podcast to discuss the state of the Red Sox entering the All Star break and why they need "a guy" at the trade deadline.

In tonight's 6:30 Headlines, a few Red Sox legends have some complaints about today's generation and Terry McLaurin is getting frustrating over the lack of extension talks with the Commanders.

Last night's Home Run Derby was a great product, but a bad presentation and Christian suggests using the Savannah Bananas model to fix how those watching at home can enjoy these events just like fans in the stadium.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Monday, July 14th, 2025.

HR 1 - A 10-game winning streak is how the Red Sox enter the All Star break and Christian seems to be bought in on how good the Sox can be; mainly because of the moves both during and before the season Craig Breslow made. Also, the Rays get close to finding a new owner and interesting comments from Jaylen Brown and Robert Kraft in the 6:30 Headlines. And, Damian Lillard being added to the Celtics on a cheap deal would be something fans should start to want for the 2027 playoff season.

HR 2 - All signs point to the Red Sox buying at the trade deadline following their 10 straight wins, but which areas are the most important? Could Kristian Campbell actually be a trade piece for the Sox to consider? Then, Christopher Smith of MassLive joins to talk more about the Sox and how they were able to find another gear heading into the All Star break among other topics. And, that Sox brass seems to have given their full confidence in Craig Breslow making a big move at the trade deadline.

HR 4 - Producer Joe Braverman makes a bold statement about the Red Sox World Series chances in the Arcand Fire that includes the Sox recent draft selections and contract news for receivers in the NFL. Then, the best night for dongs is here as a special Dong Report looks at every competitor in the Home Run Derby. And, some leftover dong data following the first round of competition.

HR 3 - Buying seems to be the lane the Red Sox will choose at the trade deadline, but it may take some time for Craig Breslow to find the right deal. Should fans even have confidence that Breslow will make the right move? Then, its The Man from Nantucket report with local comedian Brian Glowacki on the New England Nightly News. And, its an odd time for Robert Kraft to be praising Bill Belichick, but a certain celebration might have something to do with it.
