Keith and The Girl

This one’s for the haters

Katharine Heller, KATG guest for well over a decade, returns to help Keith celebrate 21 years of podcasting. The duo reminisce on the Keith and The Girl tour as well as discuss the states of the unions, personal and national. They talk about Kristi Noem’s firing and her fleecing of America, the KATG tour, Predator: Badlands, and having sex with A.I. It’s very personal, fun, funny, and heartbreaking. After all, God needed The Gimp.

Last Weeklings rejoice! In this week's recap, the fellas discuss a new sponsor, a frappé attack, people trolling Keith with their relationship thoughts, and an invitation to you, the listener, to write in with your own theories of why Liz really broke up with Keith.

It’s Keith solo, and he finds you explaining why ListenerLiz left him to be nothing short of fascinating. He’s also writing this description himself, and youse are fuckin’ weird! Anyway, Keith also discusses the U.S. and Israel attacking Iran and Paramount buying Warner Bros. to create one of the largest state-run media outlets known to man. Get ready to laugh and laugh!

Comedian and longtime friend Carrie Gravenson joins Keith to help discuss cold fronts of all kinds, be they the 2026 Northeast Blizzard or Keith’s heartache.

Rod Morrow is joined by Keith to discuss love, heartbreak, sex that’s too good, getting back with exes, The Love Family's fractured relationships, friends who help you get by, and eating fried head. Oh yeah; it's a doozy.

ChatGPT: Keith and Brother Love discussed personal matters, including Keith's recent breakup with his girlfriend Liz, which occurred just days before Valentine's Day. They explored the emotional stages of grief and the challenges of moving on after a relationship ends. Brother Love shared his own experiences with family conflicts, particularly regarding his father and sister. They also touched on current events, including political issues, the Olympics, and the Jeffrey Epstein case. Throughout the conversation, they offered each other support and shared humorous anecdotes to lighten the mood.

From Super Bowl LX, Turning Point USA’s halftime show, and 2026’s Grammy Awards to new Epstein Files news and the latest with ICE, Keith breaks it all down. He dissects the opening of multiple-rape-accused-Brett Ratner’s movie Melania: A New Film, Boxer Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller’s toupee, and the passing of a great Keith and The Girl listener.

KEITH GOT A SHOUT-OUT ON SNL! (He KNEW microwaving a steak would one day pay off!) Keith also discusses the latest ICE murder (as of press time, mind you), the upcoming Super Bowl contestants, Pittsburgh Steelers’ new head coach, and the Oscar and Razzie nominations.

From Keith’s winter storm preparation kit to The Monks’ Walk for Peace, KATG.com has all the fresh pics. Keith also discusses revisiting Fox’s The Moment of Truth, America’s relationship with Greenland, Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize, and his hatred for North Carolina representative Tim Moore. Stay strong.

Keith also plays the McDonald’s manager’s live 911 call that turned in insurance CEO shooter Luigi Mangione and the video of the unapologetically racist Wisconsin Cinnabon worker who yelled hate at customers despite Cinnabon’s 0% tolerance policy against racial hate. Keith reviews Wicked: For Good and Stranger Things: Season 5 - Part 1, and he probably isn’t pleased. He’s okay though; HE WON A GAME OF MADDEN 26 WITH AN ONLINE STRANGER! Oh, and his dad wrote him.

In this very special KATG episode (sure, why not?), Keith goes solo to discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers first losing season in two decades, his interaction with ICE, and the GOP staffer who faked being zip-tied and abused by anti-Trumpers.
