The Tom Barnard Show

Would you pay $500,000 for a converted shack in the middle of nowhere? Would you accept $500,000 to climb a skyscraper with no ropes or nets? If you're a normal person, you answered 'no' to both of these. And you also didn't go hoard bread for this weekend. Because that is not a normal thing to do.Topics:Extreme coldKidnappersMinnesota US senate seatOscars seasonSkyscraper LiveReal estate in WyomingTarget lunaticsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brittany's grandma is turning 100, which means Brittany gets a vacation to the coldest place in the galaxy.

Long-time listeners know who Joe is. He's been a core listener for years. He's also been going through it lately. Surgery is expensive and being barely able to walk sucks.

Jim-bob isn't a great name. Cooter is also not a great name. And when you put them together? Tragedy. Speaking of tragedies, it's going to be -20 real temperature in a few days. Get those furnaces tuned up. Or stay warm in the glow of your own white-hot rage.

Tim was traumatized by seeing zombie nudity. Alex was traumatized by a confession from Kathryn. Even Kristyn was traumatized when she briefly thought Taylor Swift broke up.

What would you do if you saw a bunch of toddlers on a highway? There are many possibilities, and most of them are bad. Luckily there are still good people out there, as evidenced by the dad who saved a couple of kids on A1A in Florida.

You've heard of dying on stage. It's when a comedian doesn't do so well. You've also heard of dying off the stage. Usually it's when an actor or musician parties a bit too hard. Today we focus on the latter, because Josh has never bombed once. No, we can't prove it. But we can let his impressions speak for themselves - literally.On the show:TomKathrynAndyKristyn BurttJosh RosenTopics:Steven Seagal's bad SNL episodeSNL deaths Timothy BusfieldComedyImpressionsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cruise ships are interesting. They're floating cities. They've got plumbing and electricity, they're fully stocked with food, and you can live on them for some time. But not forever. At some point, they have to dock. And if you want to know what happens when they don't dock, they have documentaries about that sort of thing. To summarize, be thankful for your municipal hookups.On the show:TomKathrynAndyCostaki EconomopoulosBob SansevereTopics:Cruise shipsComedyVarious happenings in MinnesotaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tom and Kathryn have completed their final move. Ever. That's what they say, anyway. Based on past experience, that seems unlikely, but there's a first time for everything. Or I guess a last time.On the show:The familyKristyn BurttTopics:Tom and Kathryn's new houseBlacklight theaterArt tourU of M dance troupeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tom and Kathryn are moving once more. In fact, they already started. Whether they'll be done by Monday is anyone's guess.

Paramount Plus dropped the ball with Taylor Sheridan, who is apparently the most important man in television at the moment. Not that we'd know; we're still talking about the good old days of radio.

Why all the hatred of one another? We may never know. But we do know that fire is scary. It's built into our DNA. We also know that war is scary. There are a lot of things that are scary, come to think of it.

The rock and roll lifestyle is often not a long-lived one. But there are things you, as a famous rock star, can do to protect yourself. Don't drink entire bottles of liquor in a single night. Don't mix illicit drugs. Maybe even consider switching to decaf. Just because you're hardcore doesn't mean you can't be straight edge.On the show:TomKathrynAndyCostaki EconomopoulosKristyn BurttBob SansevereTopics:Jets suckCoffeeBand members dyingStranger Things finale/conspiracyRicky RiceICE vs. HiltonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Walz is officially not seeking re-election, which means congratulations Governor Klobuchar. You know it's gonna happen. But you know what isn't gonna happen? Getting a reasonably priced first class plane ticket these days. I asked how much they were and they said "if you have to ask, you can't afford it".

Apparently they're making another Avengers movie. And then another one. Also there's Supergirl. And probably others too, but at this point the only thing left to say is "enough". Mario and Frankenstein on the other hand, it's about time those guys dominate the culture again for a while. We're bringing the 90s back, and this time we're leaving the comic books behind.

50 episodes doesn't seem like much, especially when you're currently scraping up against 3000, but back then it felt like a big deal. And speaking of big deals, Rocky was recently in a terrible car accident and needs to learn to walk again and all that fun stuff. On top of that, his daughter has stage four stomach cancer. You could say it hasn't been a great few years for Rocky.

Arj is - or at least was, as far as we know - a dual citizen in Australia. It's a very laid back place, not like America where everything is so political and everyone hates one another and...hang on.

What's your opinion on hypnosis? Is it a ruse, or does it actually work? Maybe you don't have one and would like to acquire one? Well too bad, because Jake's book, The Hypnotist, is out of print.

Andy is at the helm today as the rest of the family enjoy Florida and its lack of icy conditions.

Once upon a time, Ali was a relatively unknown, relatively new comedian. Today, she's been in movies, TV shows, and she's even been on the Tom Barnard Podcast. Now that's what I call celebrity.
