Tom Barnard Podcast

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.

Tom and Kathryn are moving once more. In fact, they already started. Whether they'll be done by Monday is anyone's guess. It's as big of a mystery as to why people who don't need plastic surgery get it anyway.

Paramount Plus dropped the ball with Taylor Sheridan, who is apparently the most important man in television at the moment. Not that we'd know; we're still talking about the good old days of radio. In fairness to ourselves, it's kind of important to us.

Why all the hatred of one another? We may never know. But we do know that fire is scary. It's built into our DNA. We also know that war is scary. There are a lot of things that are scary, come to think of it.

The rock and roll lifestyle is often not a long-lived one. But there are things you, as a famous rock star, can do to protect yourself. Don't drink entire bottles of liquor in a single night. Don't mix illicit drugs. Maybe even consider switching to decaf. Just because you're hardcore doesn't mean you can't be straight edge.

Walz is officially not seeking re-election, which means congratulations Governor Klobuchar. You know it's gonna happen. But you know what isn't gonna happen? Getting a reasonably priced first class plane ticket these days. I asked how much they were and they said "if you have to ask, you can't afford it". I don't get no respect.

Apparently they're making another Avengers movie. And then another one. Also there's Supergirl. And probably others too, but at this point the only thing left to say is "enough". Mario and Frankenstein on the other hand, it's about time those guys dominate the culture again for a while. We're bringing the 90s back, and this time we're leaving the comic books behind.

50 episodes doesn't seem like much, especially when you're currently scraping up against 3000, but back then it felt like a big deal. And speaking of big deals, Rocky was recently in a terrible car accident and needs to learn to walk again and all that fun stuff. On top of that, his daughter has stage four stomach cancer. You could say it hasn't been a great few years for Rocky. If you feel compelled to help him out, c...

Arj is - or at least was, as far as we know - a dual citizen in Australia. It's a very laid back place, not like America where everything is so political and everyone hates one another and...hang on. This all sounds very familiar.

What's your opinion on hypnosis? Is it a ruse, or does it actually work? Maybe you don't have one and would like to acquire one? Well too bad, because Jake's book, The Hypnotist, is out of print. That'll happen after 13 years.

Andy is at the helm today as the rest of the family enjoy Florida and its lack of icy conditions. It's our 2025 wrap-up show, so remember the mostly bad times with us as we reminisce about the LA wildfires, various celebrity deaths, and whatnot. Then Jesse comes back to talk the psychology of moving, dying, and resolution...ing.

Once upon a time, Ali was a relatively unknown, relatively new comedian. Today, she's been in movies, TV shows, and she's even been on the Tom Barnard Podcast. Now that's what I call celebrity. That last one specifically, I mean.

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.

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.
