The Tom Barnard Show

The Twins are roaring into 4th place. And by 4th place I mean 4th from the worst. But hey, it's better than 3rd, right? Learn more about your ad choices.

The Gene Hackman story continues to get stranger. Hoarding, rats, endless pill bottles. This sounds like a job for a psychiatrist. Or perhaps Kristyn. Jesse's got other things to worry about, like the entire standup comedy industry. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rats are gross. Mice are also gross, but in a very different way. Don't let their similar appearance fool you: rats in the house and mice in the house carry very different connotations. But talking about either of them is more pleasant than talking about the Twins. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rory McIlroy just finished a Grand Slam. I don't see what the big deal is. I've eaten plenty of them. Regardless, apparently it's important now that he's done it. What's also important is that Katy Perry and a bunch of other women went into space for about ten minutes. I bet I could do that too, if I wanted. Getting back to Earth, maybe not, but that's not the part people care about anyway. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're in the era of the kidfluencer, which sounds fun but apparently isn't. Not that abusing children for profit is anything new; first it was the mines, then it was chimneys, now it's TikTok. That's why everyone over the age of 60 has a back problem. All that mining they did as kids. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you haven't seen the latest episode of 1923, you might want to hold off on this episode. We also spoil what happens to people who take steroids their whole lives. Talk about a bad ending. And speaking of bad endings, that "prison" place sounds rather unpleasant. Makes you wonder why so many people keep going there. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you ever order something, keep an eye on that tracking information. You never know when it might enter a portal into purgatory. At that point, you should probably call someone. You should also call someone if you find a Yorkie that's been on the lam for five years. What you shouldn't do is micromanage your LDL. Live healthy and stop worrying so much.

It was the year 2012. "Tesla" meant some weirdo who did crazy stuff with electricity. Wait, that's still what it means. It also meant people on social media almost killed themselves for clicks. Oh, that's still happening too. Okay, I guess basically nothing has changed. Learn more about your ad choices.

All this celebrity death has gotten us thinking: when's the last time you went to the doctor? For Bob, there was no more putting it off, which is why he joined us a solid 20 minutes into his appointment time. But it's okay, because doctors are never on time. Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode features an early guest appearance by Costaki. Can you guess what we talked about? Yes, it's about how Minnesota teams are bad. But you know what isn't bad? Fixing cleft palates. They're still at it, so why not go donate to them? Henry Dittman is still at it too, recently reprising his role as Kabuto Yakushi in Naruto, a role he was old hat at back when this episode first aired. Learn more about your ad choices.

Before he was a government official, Frank was a talk show host. We take that to mean Donald Trump will be appointing us to an important position any moment now. In order to help the process along, we'll utilize the power of prayer, much like Magic Johnson did. I wonder if PRAIDS ever managed to make its way into Myq's act? Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you know that Pat Boone did a song about Speedy Gonzales? We thought about it because Sofia's last name is also Gonzales. We are unaware of any popular cartoon characters named Mustillo, so that didn't come up. Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you know that in 2012, New Jersey had the most billionaires per capita? That may no longer be true; things change. And speaking of things changing, maybe don't Google what Jim's been up to since he was on our show. Feel free to look up DDP though, because while he's no longer in the ring, his yoga program hasn't gone anywhere. Like, in a good way. It hasn't left. You know what I mean.

This episode marks the first time Costaki was a regular on our show, which is pretty cool. Less cool is infiltrating drug rings and pretending to be one of them, knowing that a single slip-up could mean a brutal death. Unless you're into that sort of thing, I guess.

Every so often, a movie that's so weird it defies explanation comes out. Death of a Unicorn is one such movie. Whether the Minecraft movies turns out the same way remains to be seen. Mike Lindell is less concerned with weird movies and more concerned with the deep state, which sounds like something from a movie but sadly, it is not. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you want to watch Minnesota sports, prepare to jump through some hoops. You can watch them some places out of state, some places in state, and none of them are cheap. Also every team has their own special place, all with a different monthly fee of course. Now if you want to watch the same Disney movies over and over, you're in luck. Pick a movie, wait a week, and they'll remake it. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever wanted to suddenly become very tall, like in the hit film Like Mike? Well before you rub that magic lamp, think twice. Sure, you might get a deal with the NBA, but getting into small cars already sucks. Do you really want to be even more uncomfortable on road trips? Plus if it's a Tesla someone's going to throw a molotov at you, and if you're very tall you might get hit right in the face. Talk about a bad day. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you think about it, shooting a sex scene is weird. If you actually get into it, then that's wrong, because it's supposed to be pretend. But you have to seem like you're into it, and you have to be convincing enough to fool an audience. But you can't be too convincing, because then people might think you're a pervert. That's why instead of the wide world of intimacy coordination, Cassie chose to get into something simpler, like analyzing cases where ghosts produced evidence in their own murder trials.

If you've listened to our show for any length of time, you've heard us talk about Acme. It's a mysterious place. Or at least it was, until Patrick wrote a book about it called Home Club.
