Tom Barnard Podcast

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.

On the show:

• Tom
• Andy
• Kristyn Burtt
• Dave
• Jesse the Shrink
• Frank Caliendo

Topics covered:

• All this hatred of one another
• Police dash cams
• Podcasting killed the radio star
• Impressions vs. the legal system

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.

They're doing more stuff in Riyadh, which means more celebrities making millions of dollars and people being very unhappy about that. Ace Frehley made his money the legitimate way by rocking and rolling all night, so nobody's mad at him.

On the show:

• Kristyn Burtt
• Tim Lammers

Topics covered:

• Riyadh
• Charlie meets Costaki

Apparently motorcycles break a lot. At least they do when you ride them across the country nonstop. Motorcycles aren't exactly the safest machines to begin with, but when you add "catastrophic axle damage" to the equation you've got a real problem. That's why we recommend divine intervention. It works great if you can get it.

When you think of someone who wants to change Minnesota, you think of positions of fame. Governor, mayor of a big city, state senator, and so forth. But what about auditor? Lack of oversight on our spending is arguably one of our biggest issues. Being able to fix that would go a long way toward fixing everything else. That's what Nate's all about. We'll start with the budget and work our way from there.

We've got an investment opportunity for you. $100,000 can get you $10,000,000, and it's a sure thing. All we need is a time machine. It doesn't have to be a great one. Even just 20 years back will suffice. Failing that, we suggest shorting the Jets. Can you short an NFL team?

Tom and Kathryn are in Florida once more, the hostages have been freed, and Bob's about to be a grandpa. All is well in the world. For the five people on today's show, anyway. Plus when you have a sore throat you have an excuse to drink whiskey all day. What's there to complain about?

Not everyone, not even the very rich, often make it to 100. Most of us do make it to the age where you need reading glasses though. That's pretty scary. Even scarier than a giant green guy lumbering around going "rrrrr". But not scarier than Ed Gein.

If you've ever wanted to lose 220 million dollars, you should have gotten into Minneapolis commercial real estate about ten years ago. But hey, it's not too late. There's plenty of money left to lose in that city, unless things start changing in a hurry. And speaking of changing in a hurry, when are all of these hundred year old former NFL players getting into the hall of fame? When, I ask you?
