Tom Barnard Podcast

The Tom Barnard Show features local and national guests and is heavily focused on humor.

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.

It's gonna be 65, but don't get used to it. This is Minnesota, and that means November is winter. Or at least winter-adjacent. But that's okay. You don't care how cold it is when you're watching the coming onslaught of Christmas movies and messed up thrillers. Why those two seem to correlate I cannot say. Yin and yang, I guess.

We talk about how nobody gets along a lot on this show. Too much, some would say. But it is a real problem. Kraig from Braver Angels knows this. That's why his organization gets people together from both sides to have conversations. And yes, it's very sad that simply getting people to talk and not immediately throw a hissy fit is something that requires an organization to achieve, but that's America right now.

Stalkers are weird. They're also weirdly common. It seems like every other person has a story of an ex stalking them to some degree. Why do they do it? Perhaps the same reason people think being so famous you can't leave your house is a good idea: some people are just wired different.

It's veterans day - not to be confused with memorial day - so let's take a moment to thank all the men who fought for our country. Then let's take a moment to thank all the women who had double digit numbers of children. Then let's get crazy and talk about nonuplets why not. Beats talking about sports or backed up sink drains.

We didn't set out to make a podcast about health. Things just turned out that way. Maybe it's because everyone is constantly losing and unlosing weight, making sure their mental state is sound, and getting diagnosed with various neurological disorders. Or maybe it's because we're secretly part of the MAHA movement and it's our insidious plot to get you to eat your broccoli. It could be either.

Tom is 74 today, which normally would call for cake. Alas, the quest for pound droppage takes priority. But that's okay. You don't need cake to enjoy your birthday. Movies about evil extradimensional entities and tentacle-faced monsters who want to kill you are just as enjoyable. Depending on who you are, of course.

Health insurance keeps going up, which is no real surprise because everything has gone up by approximately 5000% since 2020. We just wish it would stop at some point. But you know what's even more expensive than health insurance? Being found liable in a civil suit. So if you have the choice between a tort or a doctor's visit, choose the latter.

It wasn't a good 24 hours for airplanes. First one blows up in Kentucky, then there was the bomb threat in NYC. Maybe stay grounded for a little while, just to be safe. And while you're down here, why not check out the hundreds of things to do in Minnesota courtesy of Julie Jo Larson?

Andy's back, several pounds lighter. The Twins have a new manager and his record is mediocre at best. Bob's dogs ran away. And to top it all off, how about those taxes? The only news today that makes up for it all is that they chose this year's sexiest man alive and he's not a politician. Because you know they would.

Andy's family is still sick with a horrible stomach virus, which is ironic because that you're supposed to be getting sick from eating too much candy this time of year instead. The rest of the family did just fine though, with tales of Halloween making its way through the gloom here and there.

It's Friday, and you know what that means: it's time for Andy to be absent because of an illness again. And it's also time for Tim Lammers. This Halloween it's the battle of the century, on one side being people who liked Frankenstein and on the other side being Tom and Kathryn, apparently.

Have you ever noticed how nobody has dinner parties any more? They were all the rage back in the 90s. Now it's all DoorDash and taco trucks. Also instead of wearing fur and feathers, rich people are wearing outfits that look like something from Fallout. Where did society go so wrong? We'll tell you one place it didn't go wrong: the POW/MIA Riders Association, recovering soldiers or their remains from overseas after ha...

We like to get people of all walks of life on our show. A famous impressionist, a psychotherapist (not a psychologist), an ex-cop, a Hollywood reporter. Also two podcasters. Not quite as exciting, I know.

As gambling becomes easier and more accessible, so does cheating. It's just a fact of life. Players are losing millions to tables equipped with x-ray machines and opponents with bionic eyes. On the other side, apparently you can have your entire skeleton shattered and still play if that's what you want. Or more accurately, if that's what your coach wants.

If you're looking for Bob, look to the future. Tomorrow, specifically. He'll be on Tuesdays from now on since Chris Egert unfortunately can't make it in any more. From now on, Monday is for discussion about what happened over the weekend, and there's never any shortage of that. If any of this news makes you feel like eating your feelings, we have a lovely 20,000 calorie burger we can recommend.

You've got one more week until Halloween, which means seven days of horror and horror-adjacent media. Then November hits and it's all over. And that's a shame, because on top of decades of mandatory classics, you need to watch new stuff too. They should really think about extending the season a week or two into November.

Crash and Burn is here for the 14th year in a row, which makes it only slightly older than our own show. Back then, people were less into watching shows about psychotic murderers or sex traffickers. It was a much more optimistic time. It could be argued we need comedy now more than then, so go check it out lest you too fall into the true crime rabbit hole.

Mark Malkoff joins us today to determine who's more obsessed with Carson - him or Tom. Considering he's written a book and hosted a podcast specifically on the topic, it's safe to say it's him. But we've done almost 3000 episodes of this show and Carson comes up in approximately half of them, so maybe it's closer than you think.

Have you ever watched a football game so bad you started thinking about race relations of the 1930s and invasive medical procedures to cope? If so, you might be a Falcons fan. Or a Vikings fan. And while we're on the subject of much-needed change, Minnetonka's getting a new mayor in two weeks. One candidate, Ellen Cousins, joins us today to talk about what she'd bring to the city.

Tom and Kathryn watched a John Candy documentary. Similarities were noticed. Kind of like how boy bands and k-pop are similar. Or how the red carpet is similar to certain circles of hell. Life is full of comparisons.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
