Tom Barnard Podcast

It's the last episode with Tom and Kathryn until 2026. Maybe spending time moving will help them forget about all the constant news about Minnesota fraud. Moving sucks, but it's better than dwelling on the negative. And that's our Christmas lesson for the year: cheer up.

Ever notice how child celebrities seem to have a lot of mental issues? It seems there may be a correlation between child actors and the adults that take advantage of them in every way you could think of. That's why we're here to say "just say no" to abusing children who work for your network.

Kobe Bryant shot footage for a documentary he planned on releasing. Then he died and it got buried. But it's still out there. Will it ever see the light of day? And if it does, will it be three and a half hours long like what feels like every movie?

It's been seven months since Chris was last here, which in normal circumstances doesn't mean a whole lot. The past seven months, however, have been rather busy. He still made it in though, and it's a good thing too. Otherwise we might have spent the show talking about ancient TV shows and kids these days.

The human spine is a fragile thing, and when something goes wrong, it really goes wrong. Then you end up getting a needle repeatedly shoved into it. It's not quite as bad as it sounds, but it's still not pleasant. Certainly more bearable than two decades of early childhood parenting.

According to what we currently know, Rob Reiner's son has been charged with stabbing him and his wife to death in their own homes. We're taking the controversial stance that breaking into your father's home and murdering him is bad. Very bad, even. Yes, we're brave that way.

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.
