The Tom Barnard Show

Concert prices are through the roof. DoorDash commands outrageous prices. Netflix is raising their rates. And all of this is happening while nobody has any money, apparently. How is this possible? We don't know. What we do know is that car repairs suck.Topics:Michael documentaryTicketmaster monopolyFood delivery service feesAlan Osmond diedIlhan Omar's accounting errorUK cigarette banTom's car repair billSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Patrick Muldoon and Bob from Bob and Tom are dead. Madonna doesn't even get applause anymore. Is the old world fading away? It seems so. That's why we name drop people like Errol Flynn and Andre the Giant. You'll never have an excuse for not knowing old names if you listen to this show.Topics:New show name brainstormPatrick Muldoon diesMadonna's lukewarm receptionTV is no longer the family gathering spotGood Fortune suckedYoung people don't like old thingsBob Kevoian diesBrock Lesnar retiredWrestlers and bodybuildersAndre the GiantSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Top Gun, Star Wars, and Toy Story continue to chug along. But even older than that is The Mummy. The first one was in 1932, and we're still being chased by it. According to Tim, the most recent one is certainly a different take on the genre. If you liked The Exorcist, you'll probably like this.Topics:Top Gun 3Toy Story 5Michael (MJ documentary)Lee Cronin's The MummyNormalThe Foshay Tower might get foreclosed onSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Disney is laying everyone off, TMZ is in the blackmail business, and voiceovers are all AI. Is anything okay in the entertainment industry? Yes: classic rock. There's a reason it's been called "classic" since about five years after it started. Larry Wiegand was a member of CROW, so he'll tell you all about it.Topics:Disney/Marvel layoffsScammersTMZ vs. capitol hillAI narrationVoiceover business is dyingLarry Wiegand from CROW60s/70s Minnesota musicDave Waggoner's celebration of lifeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tony Price is back for his 71st Gold Star Ride. He also brings smooth jazz wherever he goes, apparently. The nice thing about hearing him tell his story on our show is that you don't have to pay a monthly fee to do so.

The Ketamine Queen has been sentenced. Hers was not a light sentence. Somehow this segued into Parkinson's and Michael J Fox, who's had the disease for over 35 years now. And speaking of things that lasted forever, Tom's 40th anniversary of the KQ morning show is later this month. What a perfect opportunity to reminisce.Topics:Minnesota's Trapp familyKetamine Queen sentencingPPP loan abuseMichael J Fox false death announcementCar chasesTwins are getting betterBob interviews TomSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Some people retire and that's it. They're done doing things. Some people retire and end up roped into more activities than ever before. Personally, I hope to be the former, but it's rarely up to you how your life turns out.

Yesterday we talked about smoking, Fleetwood Mac, and moon missions. Today it's gas breaching $5 a gallon and Super Mario Galaxy. It's another blast from the past episode.

Tom and Kathryn were at Mar-a-Lago last night. What's it like in there? Gaudy? Yes, gaudy. We also have Ben Simon, owner of Shed and Fence on. Our listeners had a surprising volume of fence-related questions for him. Maybe if he sells enough fences he can afford one of those $20,000,000 condos in West Palm Beach. But that's a lot of fences.Topics:Mar-a-LagoRob SherwoodStaples baddieMovies are too longShed and FenceFence questionsBillionaires in West Palm BeachWPB Bristol condos showcaseSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bob's got a new project: interviewing Tom. Every Tuesday, he'll be asking questions and fielding some from the audience. The ultimate goal is to compile a book's worth of answers. How long that'll take, who knows? Probably less time than it'll take to finish Grey's Anatomy.Topics:Death & Life of Lamar OdomCelebrity drug addictionKathryn's birthdayFirst vs. last childGrey's Anatomy is still goingBob's first interview with tomSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tiger Woods rolled his car again. Was he under the influence, or is he just a really bad driver? We can't say for sure, but we can certainly infer. We can also pine for the good old days of terrible local television. It wasn't all terrible, but in West Palm Beach there was a period where the overall quality was...lacking.Topics:Colin's first wordCubaTiger Woods car accidentEating vs metabolismDon Shelby's final Mark Twain showFlorida TVEternitySchool lifeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our new dream job is to be the guy who has to eat all the food on a yacht before it goes bad, then buy more food. Then do it again. Forever.

It's a show of contrasts, and also of cities. Tom likes West Palm Beach. Kristyn likes NYC. Jay likes Duluth. Only one of those places has a book called 100 Things to Do in Duluth Before You Die written about it.

She's been on film sets across the country. She's been partially in the space shuttle. She's even been to the Pompano Beach dump. This is the life one leads as a casting director.

Jude survived his surgery yesterday, and as a bonus Kathryn got to keep the bladder stones. Apparently they're not as gross as you'd imagine. You probably don't want any, regardless, so remember to keep your diet low in whatever causes them. Rocks, probably.

On Friday, Tom announced his Alzheimer's. Since then, we've gotten approximately one billion comments. Maybe slightly fewer. We read and appreciate all of them - the ones that are nice anyway. But you know what isn't nice? Outliving your friends. Today we also remember Philip Wise and Dave Waggoner, whose deaths we learned about in the past couple of days. We also touch on the Jessie Pierce house fire. All in all, not a good week.Topics:Philip Wise deathMichael Jackson vs. The BeatlesJessie Pierce house fireJude going into surgeryAlzheimer's news reactionsDave Waggoner deathSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
