The Tom Barnard Show

Today we talk about George Carlin.  But not just George Carlin.  Because while Jerry has plenty of stories of having Carlin as a friend, he has even more about the music and entertainment business.  You may have heard that the music industry has a lot of weirdos in it.  Well, you heard right.  If you wish to stay on topic, go watch George Carlin's American Dream on HBO.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we talk about the exceptional.  People we all aspire to be.  Geniuses, billionaires, and of course, Tim and Kristyn.  Unfortunately, we can't all go back to the early 70s and buy the rights to Tubular Bells, so we'll have to settle for proximity to greatness.  And what do the greats do?  Not watch movies, apparently.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another week, another scandal involving Antonio Brown.  It's so expected that it's not even scandalous any more.  It's as big of a scandal as the sun rising each day.  Bros, on the other hand, is a real scandal.  Apparently everyone who doesn't watch it is evil.  Doesn't that make you want to rush out and go pay money for it?  Being called names?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pest control is important.  Otherwise you get raccoons eating your trash, turkeys taking over your yard, and professional athletes saying $44 million a year isn't enough.  You have to stay on top of these things.  If you have a professional athlete problem, the best thing you can do is turn off the TV and stop buying tickets.  It may seem cruel, but if you ignore the problem you'll end up with tons of them, and then they'll all starve to death come winter.  And by "starve to death" I mean "retire at the age of 25".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There seems to be a trend lately where America puts out TV shows about murder and death while England makes comedies.  I guess that's why they call it Jolly Old England.

Today we learn what everyone's least favorite fast food is.  Then we learn what everyone's least favorite superhero is.  And by "everyone", in that case I mean people on Twitter.  But really, who cares about Twitter lunatics?  What's more important is watching a show about the serial killer of the week.  This week: Jeffrey Dahmer.  Did you know he was mentally ill?  It's true.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Brody is a midwest native, which means we have to talk about midwest things.  You know, the Renaissance Festival, the Timberwolves, geocentrism.  Hey, if you lived in a place where it drops to negative temperatures for months at a time, you'd start asking questions about the sun too.  Costaki also joins us, and while his universe doesn't revolve around him, it does revolve around making fun of Tom Brady.  That's an aspect of Greek mythology they don't teach you in school.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Bilski, President of North American Bank, is our guest. We talk about the economy, recession, inflation and the federal reserve. It leads to a discussion of Doug's recent purchase of an electric vehicle.

Pure Flix keeps coming out with, well, flix, and it is our duty to cover them.  This time it's An Unlikely Angel, a story about not wasting the present.  Also, time traveling angels who show you the future.  You may not get a chance to see what the future holds in real life, but you can avoid wasting the present by doing indoor skydiving.  Yes, it's a thing, and apparently it's less lethal than it sounds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Midterms are coming up, and Minnesota may or may not be getting a new governor in the process.  The race is apparently pretty tight.  It would take apocalyptic conditions to get Minnesotans to vote Republican, but on certain streets in Minneapolis it's difficult to argue that Ragnarok isn't upon us.  If anyone sees a giant wolf fighting a man with one eye, let us know.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's episode two two two two, which is perfect because today's episode is all about the two party system.  It's bad.  You may have heard that before.  But depending on who you ask, one party is a lot less bad than the other.  Sid and Mike Bryant are both not shy about which party they think that is.  Thing is, they might not agree on the party.  Hijinks, naturally, ensue.

Spooktemper continues with Daniel, author of American Demon, who tells us all about cutting bodies in half with surgical precision.  I mean a serial killer doing it, not Daniel.  He's an author, not a surgeon.  And speaking of serial killers, we learn that Brett Favre might as well be one in Tom's eyes.  It doesn't get more evil than being a prick, apparently.

Tom and Kathryn are back from their trip to the Boston area, and as it just so happens, Kristyn is from that area too.  Yet we don't mention baked beans once.  Is this a sign that the times are indeed a-changin'?  Is the lobster roll the new ubiquitous New England food?  If so, we can get behind that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
