The Tom Barnard Show

Remember AM radio?  You might be surprised to learn it still exists.  Unfortunately, its popularity is long gone, replaced with FM, a technology which is waning itself.  It's like the floppy disc or the cathode ray tube.  People move on, but the memories remain.  Being an AM DJ in the 80s was certainly interesting.  Won't be hearing stories like that any more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Were you a good student?  None of us were.  Pure coincidence that we ended up in the entertainment industry, I'm sure.  Most of us also have kids, and it's given us some insight into the workings of the mind of a child.  Greg is going to be joining that club any day now, which historically has made for some great comedy.  If we can get 45 minutes of podcast out of it, why couldn't you get 45 minutes of material?  I'm pretty sure the two mediums translate flawlessly like that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The march of progress continues, accelerating every day.  Have you ever heard the concept of a Never Exceed Speed?  That's the speed at which an airplane is likely to break into a million pieces from the sheer force.  We're pretty close to that speed as a society.  Sometimes looking into the future leads you off a cliff today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a war in the desert.  The empire has abandoned the region and left it in chaos, run more by local gangs and cartels than the government itself.  We're talking about Star Wars, of course.  What did you think we meant?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know Jamie.  He's a pretend firefighter.  He's a real and pretend comedian.  And of course, he's a dad.  Hence the comedy.  He may, out of necessity, also become Paul Anka in the near future.  Keep an eye on that project.  Until then, Tacoma FD is coming back, Aftermath is on Netflix, Breast Cancer Bucket List is coming to Lifetime in September, Stealing Jokes is being shot as we speak, and Homeschooled will be out in a month.  Is that everything?  I think that's everything.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To be a comedian, you have to have at least relatively high verbal skills.  This is not true for professional athletes.  In fact, it almost seems like recruiters actively avoid it.  That's not to say athletes aren't often quotable.  It's just that their quotesmithing happens entirely by accident.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rob is the most important man in the world.  More accurately, he's related to every important person in the world in some way.  The DEA thought he was pretty important - a drug kingpin to be exact.  Don't worry, he's not.  Depending on your definition of kingpin, anyway.  What he is is an author, actor, and most impressively, guest on our show.  Our definition of impressive is very subjective.

If you didn't get the vaccine, you may be fine.  You also may not.  If you did get the vaccine, you may be fine.  You also may not.  You could need a booster.  Or not.  Epidemiology is often more about probabilities than answers.  Of course, the scientific-minded might consider probabilities to be answers.  Dr. Bob, for example.  The fact that he was educated back in the days when literacy was required is rumored to have been a big help in getting his medical license.  They say being able to read is a good thing.  Well, they used to.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marc is a one-legged mongoose.  Or something like that.  A one-legged mongoose features prominently in his life somehow.  That much we know.  We also know that growing up in the 50s simultaneously sucked and was great.  I guess it depended on the day.  What we don't know is Marc's preferred microphone polar pattern.  Is he a cardioid man, or does he go for omnidirectional?

What do you call an event that involves fencing, swimming, equestrian jumping, pistol shooting, and running?  You might call it nonsense, but the Olympic committee calls it a pentathlon.  Actually, they're starting to wonder if it's nonsense too after recent events have called its legitimacy into question.  And speaking of legitimacy being called into question, people are starting to wonder why every powerful person in the country seems to be a perverted sociopath.  Why it took this long for such a question to arise is anyone's guess.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ralph's long wait is over: Dune is finally coming back, after a nearly forty year break.  Apparently Ralph isn't the only one who was waiting, based on Craig's feedback.  In fact, there's all sorts of stuff these days that doesn't suck.  The clouds are parting after all this time.  And not just because Tom finally showed up at the very end.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You hear some strange things when you're biking.  You also hear strange things while listening to football players.  That one probably doesn't come as a surprise.  Luckily we have people documenting these unusual quotations.  People like Costaki.  And Mike Bryant.  Word on the street is they might go on tour together one day.  The streets around here are notoriously untrustworthy though.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nursing is generally not seen as a high levity job.  It definitely takes a certain type.  That type tends to enjoy gallows humor to some degree.  You kind of have to.  Usually, said gallows humor is confined to the nurse's stations.  No longer.  Nurse Blake is bringing it on the road for the PTO Comedy Tour, coming to Minneapolis on October 16th.  Odds are tickets are already sold out by the time you're reading this, but why not check anyway?

Another rare episode where all we talk about is cars. We discuss Biden's pending announcement of toughened CAFE standards, the rush to domestic battery plant building and the change that theTrump administration's China tariffs may have on US construction and a re-alignment of inventory chains. We also note that the NYC auto show is cancelled due to increases in Covid numbers and howthe 4th wave may or may not affect us. Tire Carver calls in to discuss the environmental impact of Lion battery disposal. All and all a pretty serious episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever wanted to be God?  A lot of people think they do.  It's a lot more responsibility than the average person is ready for.  David is the exception, although to be fair he's just pretending.  A lot of people think movies are real, so it's close enough.  David, AKA Dog - get it? - runs a dive bar with his equally divine family.  You could say everybody there knows your name, because they're all omnipotent.

We're getting rid of Facebook.  I refer, of course, to the collective "we".  Society.  The show itself will stay on it because we're a legitimate business and apparently you can't be a business without a Facebook account.  Other things we're collectively doing include not watching the news, not trusting the government, and generally just becoming paranoid recluses.  For those of you who aren't a paranoid recluse, you're behind the times.  You don't want to be uncool, do you?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
