Tom Barnard Podcast
The Tom Barnard Show features local and national guests and is heavily focused on humor. Tom Barnard, host of the #1 local morning show in the United States since 1986, created the podcast with the goal of a show with more creativity and flexibility than radio. Tom hosts the show along with his wife Kathryn, daughter Alex, and son Andy. It airs live central time, Monday-Friday 10:30 to 11:45. You can stream it live at www.tombarnardshow.com, see it on Youtube, or search for our app - also called Tom Barnard Podcast. Email tombarnardpodcast@gmail.com at any time with questions.

A lot of things aren't as good as they used to be. TV mainstays like The Simpsons and Saturday Night Live. Restaurants. Even Disney. But that doesn't mean they have to keep trending downward. Mike Lindell got hit harder than any of us and he's rebuilding, even throwing his hat in the ring for Minnesota governor. Knives Out 2 sucked and now the third one is good. Are we entering the era of optimism? That's probably ...
Aaron Schram joins us today to talk about Schram Vineyards, a local Waconia winery that Andy and Melissa went to for their anniversary. Small business is tough, and owning a vineyard is no exception. Actually it might be, because most small business doesn't involve trying to keep grapes from freezing to death. Maybe they can steal some socks to keep their grapes warm.

Any cop will tell you: criminals, by and large, aren't generally the brightest. There are exceptions, of course, but you usually don't hear about them because they don't incriminate themselves in a quest for insurance money (for example). It's also possible that maybe Minnesota doesn't produce the most savvy criminals because they're always preoccupied about having to go shovel snow when they get home. It's a constant d...
Quick, how do you spell Berenstain Bears? Alright, maybe that one doesn't work when you type it out like that. But there are plenty of other Mandela Effects to theorize over. Diddy, for example. You might remember him as a rapper, but he's actually a raper. A very easy mistake to make.

Today we learn an important rule of broadcasting: don't mention pizza. Otherwise it'll dominate the conversation forever. That is exactly what happened today. We also found out that one of our regular listeners went viral on X, but not for any reason you're imagining.

It was -10 this morning, so let's talk about advances in getting your car to start when it's so cold that gasoline turns into a solid. Or at least I assume that's what's going on inside my car. I'm not a mechanic. While we're at it, let's talk about advances in bottom of the barrel cheese. And by "advances" I mean "increasingly large quantities of plastic and dyes".

Winter is officially here. I mean "official" by Minnesota standards: we're hitting sub-zero temperatures tonight. Now that's what you call winter. But what do you call a Real ID? Find out the difference and what you need the various types of Minnesota ID for on today's show, when we're not complaining about louts and scallywags. And vagabonds.

December just started and we're looking at nearly a foot of snow with subzero temperatures. Our sports teams are almost all quite awful. Our government is even worse than our sports teams. Not that we have nothing but complaints. The Vikings sucking generates a solid 30-45 minutes of content every week via Bob's exasperation. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Winter has begun. Okay, technically winter still has another three weeks until it actually begins, but this is Minnesota. We've already got 8 inches of snow and it's gonna be in the negatives Wednesday night. It's winter. Kristyn and Brad spend all their time in warm climates so they wouldn't understand.

Shane is a laid back kind of guy. Possibly because of all the psychedelics. Another possibility is that in 2012, he had recently released his first comedy album and was riding high on the fame. He's also midwestern, which makes it so weird that he took so long to grow facial hair. It's like he never even dreamed of being a lumberjack despite growing up in lumberjack territory.

This was Frank's first appearance on our show, and considering he was just on a couple weeks ago (and - surprise - is going to be on again in another couple weeks), it's safe to say he's been a show mainstay since the very beginning. His audio quality is a lot better now too!

This episode represents two things of the past. One, when gay marriage wasn't legal everywhere in America. Two, when we used to have state-level politicians on. Now, we're not saying having Richard on was a bad idea, but we are saying that during the lifetime of the show, politicians have averaged toward insane for longer than not. A lot longer.

We promised a Tracy-centric episode, and we delivered. I mean, she still spends a lot of it talking about her dad, but still. It's also one of the earliest instances of Kristyn returning as a semi-regular guest, before she became an extremely regular guest.

Dr. Wayne Dyer - who unfortunately died just a couple years after doing our show - joined us in the early days to talk about being extraordinary. And really, what's more extraordinary than doing an interview on a podcast from Maui? His daughter Tracy also joined us, and she even stuck around after to do her own episode. Hear that one on the next Lost Episode!

Today's topic is local Chinese places. Here in Minnesota we've got Leeann Chin. In California they, of course, have some place that's like a hundred dollars a plate. Either way, it's good stuff, and you should probably eat enough of it that people can't see your bones through your skin. Speaking of which, Tim screened Wicked part 2, so make sure to hear his thoughts on that if you're interested.

First we had Mama Mimi, then we talked about the autism epidemic (such as it is), and now today we talk solutions for kids grades 7-12. We're full spectrum when discussing the spectrum. We've also got an update since yesterday: no, people are not going to stop talking about the Epstein files until they're actually released. If anything, they're talking about them more. Oh well.

Congress more or less unanimously voted to release the Epstein files, which is good news because it means people might finally shut up about them. I don't care who gets indicted, I just want to hear about something else. For example, let's hear about how having a hard childhood makes you a better comedian. Those defense mechanisms can be pretty powerful.

In Germany, there are no NFL-related territory wars. After all, how could there be? They don't have an NFL team. Instead, they just pick who they like. It's kind of like how in Florida, they don't have ice skating so instead they skate on whichever surface is most suitable to them. Well I guess it's not actually like that at all, but how else am I going to connect those two topics?

There are a lot of people with kids out there who need extra help with language. Whether they don't read well, talk well, or spell well, it can be hard to know what the best way forward is.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
