The Tom Barnard Show

No, he's not running for governor. Sorry, we've asked. That goes for both our guests today. Being governor is a lot of pressure. You've got the mansion, the speeches, the top hat. It's just too much. Plus when would they have time to make booya or do stand-up comedy?On the show:TomAndyKristyn BurttMike BryantJason SchommerJimmy FrancisTopics covered:Jude's prescription foodKids these daysTulsa kingGoing viralPolitical divisionRural MinnesotaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Diana fills in for Kathryn today, which works well because she's got 40 years of KARE history to go through with Tom, give or take. She's also using her skill set as a reporter in the pursuit of nature photography. Apparently Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment has been given back to nature, but it's probably still not the kind of place you go to take pictures.On the show:TomAndyKristyn BurttDiana PierceTopics covered:Rocco Baldelli firingKeith Urban divorceSerial killers and their living quartersNature photographyMinnesota TV and radioSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Has your neighbor ever tried to make you relapse? Have you ever had fourteen children? Are you an obese O-10? The answer to all of these is probably "no", which is what makes them interesting. A real man bites dog situation, as Chris may or may not say. It's a news thing.

Kathryn and Alex are back from Vegas and they've got the scoop. Is the town dying? Is the Sphere everything you've heard and more? How tolerable is the smell?

Kathryn and Alex are out, which means we have two sad guys on the show today. No, not those two; guess again. Kristyn notices and suggests Tom do some self care. Brittany also notices but instead we start talking about bad touch in public places. It's good not to dwell on one topic for too long, you know.On the show:TomAndyKristyn BurttBrittany HaganTopics covered:Jude the sad dogLiving in a bubbleViolence is badPsychology of sexual harassmentRadio vs podcastingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've ever had a double lung transplant, you know it's a pretty serious operation. Almost as serious as a fastball to the face. Or extradimensional visitors. Those are pretty serious business too. We discuss all these things and more, so I guess you could say today's show is pretty serious. It's not, but you could say that.On the show:TomKathrynAndyKristyn BurttMike BryantTyson SchnitkerDave SchraderTopics covered:Disney in legal troubleDisney WorldDavid FryTyson's lung transplantDave's new show, Paranormal MysteriesTwin Cities Film FestivalSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Everything is expensive nowadays. Except for flights to Denver. Those are dirt cheap. Still, that's no excuse to shoplift. Or to essentially encourage shoplifting by not punishing it. Just because we don't have a cop on the show any more doesn't mean it's not important to respect the law. Also, respect comedian slash therapists. There aren't very many so it shouldn't be difficult.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The primary maxim of modern economics is that the line must always go up. Increase the GDP, increase the spending, increase the jobs. Minnesota's line has not been going up. In some metrics, we're near the worst in the country. Why? Rick might not know all the answers, but he has enough to put together a documentary called Precarious State, launching next Thursday.On the show:TomKathrynAndyCostaki EconomopoulosRick KupchellaTopics covered:FootballFalcons suckMinnesota's net negative economyTwin Cities decaySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Vikings beat the Bengals by 38 points. You'd think we'd be making victory laps, but we know better. Minnesota sports fans don't get optimistic until the point when a loss dashes our hopes with maximal dashedness.

David Bassitt is back and wouldn't you know it, he's still orange. Some things never change. Kind of like movies and TV for the past ten years. It's been a great decade for fans of remakes and reboots.

Brad recently found himself the owner of Big Rock Creek, a thousand acres just across the St. Croix. It's not all for him though; head over and buy yourself a day pass.

In 5-10 years, there will only be one streaming service. It'll cost $500 a month and have three shows on it. Keep those Blu Rays close. Whether this show will still be going in ten years we can't say, but if it is we'll start putting out physical albums at that point out of protest.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chris joins the illustrious group of Herniated Disc Havers, and he's here forever. Meanwhile, celebrities who don't like aging can simply get their faces replaced. What's that all about?

The Vikings got crushed by the Falcons. Bad news for us tomorrow when Costaki comes on. The Twins are also doing poorly, but we've come to expect that. What we didn't expect is for the Hollywood elite to misunderstand a joke and take themselves way too seriously. Wait, yes we did.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We've been talking about it all week, but there's still a lot to say. Does anybody really know why it happened or how to stop it? Probably not. But there are patterns that can't be ignored and correlations that can't be explained away. And speaking of patterns, are you in the mood for yet another show where a girl is caught in a love triangle with Handsome Brooding Guy and Handsome Charismatic Guy? If so, we've got just the recommendation for you. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated in broad daylight yesterday. Now today is the 24th anniversary of 9/11. Needless to say, it hasn't been a great 24 hours. If you want to try and make the world a slightly better place, why not visit the Children's Hospital rummage sale this weekend? Get yourself some cheap furniture and support kids. Everyone wins.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The new Charlie Sheen documentary is out, and it promises to be an unpleasant watch. Apparently that's what people like though. Drama, anger, fear. The good news is for us that we can officially label ourselves as counterculture, since we attract very little drama. And being counterculture means you're cool. Sorry, that's the law.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Vikings beat the Bears. We didn't see it coming. Next up is the Falcons, so whoever wins, you also win because you get to hear someone complain about it next week. But hey, complaining works. Just ask Cracker Barrel patrons. So keep on being that squeaky wheel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Spoiler alert for Unknown Number - we saw it over the weekend and we're having The Conversation. We originally were going to keep it under wraps but that didn't exactly pan out. So if you haven't seen it and you care about spoilers, you might want to avoid Kristyn's segment today. The good news is we didn't spoil anything with Dr. Jensen even though we bring up some things that are considered forbidden in certain circles.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Comedy has changed. Gone are the days of prop comedy. Insult comedy is mostly unheard of. Even just regular old stand-up is making way for incessant crowd work. But the thing about trends is that they get stale. That's why Trevor is bravely doing whatever he feels like. That, and because he feels like it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
