074: The REAL Attack Bunny Story by Randall Kenneth Jones
Though Randall Kenneth Jones would like to be known as a brilliant author, entertaining & informative motivational speaker, clever content creator, and communications expert, he seems to be identified mostly as the sidekick of a dog, Alexander the Airedale, as an Erin Brockovich enthusiast, and more than anything, as an adult man who is afraid of bunnies.
This week the JONES.SHOW host tackles his fear of doing an episode all by himself by reading an excerpt about fear from his book, “Show Me: Celebrities, Business Tycoons, Rock Stars, Journalists, Humanitarians, Attack Bunnies and More!”
JONES.SHOW is a weekly podcast featuring host Randall Kenneth Jones (author, speaker & creative communications consultant) and Susan C. Bennett (the original voice of Siri).

072: Kitt Shapiro, Eartha Kitt, Mothers, Daughters, Catwoman & More
Daughter of the late, great international star, Eartha Kitt, Kitt Shapiro has had an unconventional journey as she continues to evolve as the successful entrepreneur, wife and mother of young adults.
Founder and creator of the Simply Eartha™ lifestyle brand, Shapiro uses her mother’s words, wisdom and beauty in designing a line of ‘accessories that SAY something’ made in the US by local artisans. Always learning from her mother in how to reinvent herself, at the age of 57 she pursued her love for fashion and small business and bought her favorite local boutique, WEST in Westport, Connecticut. WEST is best described as curated fashion with a west coast vibe.
Shapiro has been in and around the fashion and entertainment business all of her life. She grew up speaking French and English as she travelled the world with her mother. After studying on the road as well as at Lycée Francais in Los Angeles and London, Shapiro attended Barnard College/Columbia University before beginning a successful modeling career. She studied interior design and worked in the fashion industry before taking on the responsibilities of running her mother’s company.
As president of Eartha Kitt Productions for more than 20 years, Shapiro organized and produced Eartha Kitt shows and projects all over the world. Her behind the scenes work for her famous mother was highlighted by a Grammy nomination as executive producer of Eartha Kitt’s CD, “Back in Business.”
When Eartha Kitt was diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer, Shapiro became her mother’s caregiver and advocate. Eartha Kitt died Christmas Day 2008. She had never had a colonoscopy prior to her diagnosis. Shapiro has taken it upon herself to share her mother’s story and bring attention to the importance of screening and early detection.

071: Erin Brockovich Isn’t Holding Back
Say the name Erin Brockovich and you think, strong, tough, stubborn and sexy. Erin is all that and more.
In the ’90s, Erin Brockovich spearheaded an investigation revealing that Pacific Gas & Electric had been poisoning the water in Hinkley, California. As chronicled in the 2000 film “Erin Brockovich,” PG&E was forced to pay out the largest toxic tort injury settlement in U.S. history: $333 million.
Since that time, Erin has continued in her quest to empower the people to “right wrong.”
It seems that 2020 is shaping up to be another breakout year for Erin. Her new podcast will launch this spring and her latest book, “Superman’s Not Coming,” is scheduled for release on August 25, 2020.
Additionally, ABC has given a put pilot dedication to “Insurgent,” a drama inspired by Erin’s life in the years following “Erin Brockovich,” the movie. The program is being written and executive produced by “Gray’s Anatomy” showrunner, Krista Vernoff.
She is a modern-day “David” who loves a good brawl with today’s “Goliaths.” She thrives on being the voice for those who don’t know how to yell. She is a rebel. She is a fighter. She is a mother. She is a woman. She is you and me.

069: Major League Baseball's Mickey Lolich Created Joy in Tigertown
Michael Stephen Lolich (born September 12, 1940) is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a pitcher from 1962 until 1979, most notably for the Detroit Tigers.
A three-time All-Star, Lolich is most notable for his performance in the 1968 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals when he earned three complete-game victories, including a win over Bob Gibson in the climactic Game 7.
In a 16-year major league career, Lolich played in 586 games, accumulating a 217–191 win–loss record along with a 3.44 earned run average.
He struck out 200 or more batters in a season seven times in his career.
His 2,832 career strikeouts were the most by a left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball history until he was surpassed by Steve Carlton in 1981 and, he held the American League record for strikeouts by a left-handed pitcher until being surpassed by CC Sabathia in 2017.
Lolich threw 41 shutouts and 195 complete games during his career, completing nearly 40 percent of his starts.
Mickey’s book, “Joy in Tigertown: A Determined Team, a Resilient City, and our Magical Run to the 1968 World Series,” is available at Amazon.com and other online book retailers.
