In this annual St. Patrick’s Day special, host Jordan Kunde-Wright of the Twin Cities Kettlebell Club once again reunites with David Keohan—affectionately known as “Indian Stones.” This yearly tradition marks a time to toast the holiday together while catching up on David’s newest achievements. From launching his craft beer, Mullán, to filming a funded one-hour documentary for RTÉ, David continues to champion Ireland’s rich heritage of stone lifting.
Listeners will hear how David’s passion for preserving Celtic culture has led him to discover more than 48 historic stones throughout the Irish countryside—some weighing upwards of 200 kilos. He shares humorous anecdotes about powerlifters struggling with the awkward heft of these behemoths, proving that raw barbell strength doesn’t always translate to practical lifting. Meanwhile, Jordan swaps stories about hauling logs in his backyard, underscoring the primal satisfaction of moving “real world” weight.
Amid all the laughter and celebration, David reveals his forthcoming trip to Boston, where he’ll inaugurate a brand-new lifting stone at a cultural center and offer stone lifting workshops. He also discusses The Wind Under It, his upcoming book set to be published worldwide by Bloomsbury, and hints at a possible PhD focusing on these ancient stones.
Whether you love strongman feats, enjoy a good pint, or simply want to revel in genuine Irish spirit, this annual conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into the ever-expanding world of Celtic stone lifting. Sláinte!
