The Tom Barnard Show

We've heard from basically everyone else regarding the coronavirus.  Why not an epidemiologist?  He's also the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the U of M.  Seems like a logical choice given the topic.  He's joined by another doctor and two people who are assuredly not doctors.  Someone has to run the show, right?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 15 states, it's an important day today.  Something about voting, I think.  For everyone else, it's just another day to worry about the coronavirus and watch Cheer.  Not movies though.  Movies are over.  They had a good run.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom and Doug are joined by the mayor of South Saint Paul, Jimmy Francis, and his grandfather Carl.  Jimmy wins the internet with his 'my first car' story involving a dead deer, a Dodge slant six, and a retired farmer who wants to trade titles at midnight and calls him 'Dutchman' for no apparent reason.  Carl talks about his days as an 80 year old debt collector and the Minnesota polka circuit of 1947.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom and Doug know classic rock.  They were alive for it, so that makes sense.  Davy was less alive for it, yet he both knows and plays it.  Our universe is truly mysterious.  If you want to be part of this mystery, go to the New Hope Cinema Grill on March 7th at 8. www.cinemagrill.com/live-music/davyknowlesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are a lot of victims in the world.  The paradox here is that most victims don't talk about it, while most people who talk about it aren't actually victims.  There are none so non-talkative as animals; that's one of their defining traits.  It also makes it very easy for bad people to do bad things to them.  That's why we get people like Bob, who is a good person, to do good things for them along with the rest of Ranch Hands Rescue.  This planet is a living thing, and Bob is the medicine.  And I guess animal abusers would be chlamydia or something then.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Ash Wednesday, which means nothing to you unless you're a member of one of a few specific sects of Christianity.  For the rest of us, that means giving something up for the next 40 days.  Speaking of which, Harvey Weinstein is giving up his freedom for the next 40 days, and then about ten thousand more thereafter.  Now that's dedication.  It's also panic-inducing, judging by his recent chest pains that are almost definitely not an actual medical issue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes, coincidences work in our favor.  For example, Samuel is a doctor.  Ralph is also a doctor.  He actually knows what Dr. Shem is talking about, which makes for an informed interview.  How about that?

Economists and historians alike have long lamented the decline of the middle class.  Everyone seems to have their theories as to why it's happening, but some theories tend to be pretty self-explanatory.  Like the fact that getting a four year degree is considered something you must do, but college has become exponentially more expensive over the years.  It doesn't help that the internet mob that is cancel culture seems to almost exclusively target people with neither the money nor power to defend themselves.  Probably a coincidence.

Katherine Johnson, the woman enshrined in the movie Hidden Figures, has died at the age of 101.  That's bad.  Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty.  That's good.  Downhill sucks.  That's bad.  Hollywood has gotten so over the top with their Nazi zeal that even the Auschwitz memorial is telling them to settle down.  That's...well, it's certainly not good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Eddie Spadino. Eddie is an over the road truck driver with more than two million miles under his belt. We discuss costs, accidents, road hazards and how truck drivers are paid. Eddie also talks about pet peeves. Pro tip, don’t try to cut off something that weighs over 40 tons and also, don’t drive a pickup truck into a semi that’s stopped.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cars can last a really long time if you treat them right.  Most people think a 20 year old car is beyond the pale.  For Jayson, that number is more like 80.  Turns out 3000+ pounds of metal takes a long time to go bad unless you let it decay on the side of the road.  And people do.  For the ones that are still worth saving, there's Iron Resurrection.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Selling a house is hard.  This becomes exponentially more true the more expensive the house.  Aaron regularly sells houses worth tens of millions, so he can tell you.  And he did, by making a show called Listing Impossible on CNBC.  None of us will probably ever live in houses that expensive, but that doesn't mean the ones we do live in aren't a lot of work.  Have you ever counted 268 light bulbs?  I thought not.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Living in a very rural area has its perks, assuming you like animals.  For one, you'll see more species in a day than you would in an entire lifetime in the city.  This is especially true if you decide to bring in a bunch of sheep and goats.  Then, fly down to Florida and check out the geckos, alligators, and parrots.  You don't even have to leave the country to be an amateur zoologist.  It doesn't pay very well though.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Circumcision has been around a very long time, yet remains relatively cloistered on the world stage.  Some will tell you that's bad.  Like the guy who made Corn Flakes.  Big fan of the circumcision, allegedly.  Others would prefer to see the practice eliminated entirely, like Anthony.  Still others are more worried about what stupid crap Wendy Williams said this week.  By our count, that's two valid concerns and one much less so.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
