The Tom Barnard Show

(Part 2)You've been waiting for weeks for Kristyn to finally reveal who she's been hobnobbing with. Don't try to deny it. You know it's true. Well the day has arrived. What, you thought we'd spoil it in the description? It would be much better to hear it from the woman herself, don't you think?

(Part 1)Kathryn and Tom watched Norm, the Norm Macdonald documentary. Would you be surprised to learn that behind the comedy, there was a deep sadness? If so, you've probably never learned about the personal life of a comedian before. You also may not have attempted to demonstrate telekinesis on live TV. If not, we don't recommend you start. Not unless it's real, of course.

(Part 4)It's been a very injurious week in football. Entire teams are being decimated. Interviewees are becoming casualties before they even pick up a mic. What's going on? We don't know, but we got a bye week so we're still 5-0, so we don't care. And surely, nothing bad could possibly happen between now and February.

(Part 3)Complaining about kids never wanting to talk on the phone is out. The newest complaint is robots always wanting to talk on the phone. You'd think a doctor would want to hear from their patient directly. You'd also think you'd go see Paul Mecurio at the House of Comedy this Friday and Saturday. No robots involved.

(Part 2)DWTS had some drama the other day involving a lift. Or was it a lift? Depends on which definition you use. Choose the right one, because you might end up getting the Fresh Prince treatment. And if none of this makes any sense to you at all, you're far from alone.Carrie Ann Inaba claims Jenna Johnson got lifted, and Val Chmerkovskiy goes nuts. Did I get all those names right?You Can See Everything is making beaucoup bucksKristyn's swag haul from her Margo EmbargoIce cream

(Part 1)The Disney Worlds Collide tour came to town. Tweens and their mothers rejoiced. For everyone else, there's foot-related content online. And by "everyone else" I mean hopefully an extremely small number of people.

Tim, famous for being Mary Mack's husband, moved up north because Facebook was too confusing. Or something like that, anyway. Why is he all the way back down here? Because he's at Acme, naturally. And you should be grateful, because after all, he's the funniest person in Minnesota. He's certified and everything.

Hot off the tails of the Mortal Kombat movie revival, here comes Street Fighter. Is it as good? After all, they're both just movies about people beating each other up, right? And speaking of combat, Crystal Lake is here too, to tell us the story of what happened between the beginning of Friday the 13th and the end of it. Or whatever. You know what I mean.Topics:Street FighterCrystal LakeExtreme gore

Some people get mad when they drink. Some get sad. Some get happy. But we all get sad when we watch documentaries, because every documentary these days is a downer. We're going to guess that the latest crop is no exception. Maybe not the Norm Macdonald one. But even that's not a sure thing.Topics:AlcoholRelationships in the entertainment industryStreaming pricesNorm Macdonald documentaryElizabeth Holmes documentaryElon Musk documentary

There's a woman running for something or other in some place. Her interview has taken the internet by storm. You'll see why here. There's also a car taking the internet by storm but in a different way. That is to say, it's cool rather than sad and a little scary. Okay, it's still a little scary.Topics:Jaime West interviewTesla flying RoadsterMeta smart glasses recording by themselves

(Part 4)Doug Loon is the CEO of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, at least for the next two and a half months. He also brings us said chamber's latest thing: the Coolest Thing Made in Minnesota, in which 64 things made in Minnesota compete to be voted the coolest. Did you know that all sorts of things were made and/or invented here? Not a lot of people do.He also pops in on the Minnesota Business Podcast, a podcast about...well, what do you think it's about?

(Part 3)Last time we had Christine on, we only got a bit of time with her. Enough for her to talk about Walk Beside Me, a book that's not about Christine, but also is. Since then, that book has become a movie called Hello Beautiful. It's in theaters now, and we're always talking about how you should go to the theater.For more information about both the book and the movie, go to https://christinehandy.com/!

(Part 2)There are some new things out. Keeping with tradition, they're kind of downers. The first is Jimmy, a movie about Jimmy Stewart and how being drafted into WW2 messed him up. Then there's In the Shadow of Eight, a book written by one of the "eight" in Jon & Kate Plus Eight. You can imagine how that one goes. Then we talk about MySpace for a while, because you gotta have a bit of fun.Topics:Jimmy Stewart documentaryIn the Shadow of Eight by Collin GosselinJon & Kate dramaMySpace

(Part 1)When you're a kid, saying weird stuff out of nowhere is cute. Even if that stuff makes absolutely no sense. But eventually you start saying things into a microphone, then a robot hears them and misinterprets them, and it's a big thing. This probably wasn't something you had to worry about ten years ago. Welcome to the future.Check out our Amazon storefront, including the products Kathryn mentioned today, at https://a.co/d/09gzqFa7!Topics:Ethan's old people factColin searching for Bop BopJosh Arnold vs. AI censorshipChatbots are annoyingKathryn's Amazon list

Abby is the owner of Sugar Lake Lodge up in Cohasset, where she also grew up. So if you think you like to go up north a lot, she's got you beat there. On the other hand, if you just want to spend some time by the lake and/or want to host a company retreat, she's got you covered.Want to check out the lodge? Go to https://sugarlakelodge.com/!

Bill is back, and this time he's announcing a show he's doing in LA. Unfortunately, if you're not willing to go to LA, you can't see it. You also can't have a coconut cake unless you're willing to spend $125. So there you go, two reasons to visit right there.

(Part 2)Tom Cruise is in trouble. Well, as much trouble as a man with infinite wealth and fame can be in: his latest movie isn't doing so great. But at least he wasn't told that he can't buy a mechanical bird.Topics:Digger is a major bombScientology and Tom CruiseMichael Jackson's questionable legacyKelly Clarkson attempts to purchase Molly the mechanical bird

(Part 1)Ilhan Omar's house got raided by the feds. Whether this amounts to anything or not, we'll see. Until then, let's talk orchards. It's orchard season, after all, and we went to a rather involved one over the weekend.Topics:Ilhan Omar's house raidedSage's many soccer gamesFall Harvest OrchardMichael Jordan jersey sells for 14 million dollars

(Part 4)Bob and his co-author, Tom Clavin, write about a man who was captured in WW2 three times, parachuted into German-occupied France twice, and forced some Nazi officers to toast FDR once. And the most interesting part is, it's all true. His name was Peter Ortiz, also known as The Phantom. Also also known as Das Fantom, depending on how German you are.You can get The Phantom here: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250285850/thephantom/

(Part 3)It's October, so it's time to get spooky. Carrie was pretty spooky, right? And by "was" I mean "is", because it's back as a miniseries. Other Mommy is also apparently great if you like being jump scared every ten minutes. Lastly, Nic Cage is in Stillwater. That's not really scary, but it is worth mentioning.
