The Tom Barnard Show

Remember the ice bucket challenge? Well it's back. It took a while to make enough ice. Sage decided to dump a bucket of it on himself, and we've got the audio. We also discuss every TV show and movie ever made going back to the 1950s.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Martin Kove has bitten a coworker. What this means for the future of humanity, we cannot say. Probably not a lot. But let's not discount all possibilities. For example, maybe the Twins will start being good. I don't really know how those two could be connected, but I don't know how you can lose almost ten games in a row either.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Twins suck. The weather sucks. Even the acoustics suck here. So why stay in Minnesota? How about our famous rodeos? Bob just got done with one, and the excitement aged him 20 years. Also check out our illustrious electric scooter industry. Just wear a helmet.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Once upon a time, video killed the radio star. Younger listeners might not know that in this case, "video" refers to music videos that they used to play on TV. Yeah, those are kind of gone now too. Now it's all about YouTube and podcasts. Also stand-up comedy. That's changed too, but they're still standing up and doing comedy, so at least it's familiar.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mike Bryant is in today hot off a case of someone being molested as a child, so we talk at length about that for a while. Then J. Marie comes on to talk about Back to the Fifties. We decided not to attempt to segue the two and just let the conversation head in a more positive direction.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you're a musician in the 1970s, don't build your own plane and then try to fly it. Also, you probably shouldn't be using your time machine to listen to our show, but we're not going to stop you. And while you're at it, why not listen to Mischke? That's the name of the host and also of the podcast. It's not The Mischke Road Show any more. He's left the road behind him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know Froot Loops? Have you ever looked at them and thought "this seems a little too colorful"? From the sound of it, kids today may be growing up without such concerns. The good news is they'll still be able to get all the nutritious anabolic steroids their bodies need to become professional wrestlers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two Minnesota politicians, Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman, have been shot. Melissa has died, while John's status is cautiously optimistic. Meanwhile, famous celebrities are on trial for sex trafficking, cities are on fire, and ALS cases are increasing. All in all, a great year so far.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever wanted to put AI generated versions of us in a horror movie? Try it and we'll be contacting our lawyers. That is, unless you're still around once all our content enters the public domain. Then there's nothing we can do. All we ask is that you give your movie a relatively clever name.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One of Tom's favorite people has died. No, not Brittany. She's immortal. Brian Wilson has passed, leaving behind a music legacy and a lot of baggage. And speaking of legacies, if you've ever wanted to know how we all feel about being famous or fame-adjacent, this is your show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, we got into the studio and discovered the internet was broken. Then it came back, but our computer was broken. Then we fixed that, but by then we were fed up with the modern era so we decided to go back to 1960s Minneapolis for a while. It also sucked, but it sucked in a different way. A change of pace is always nice.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What's the difference between a protest and a riot? Whether or not you agree with the people doing the protesting or rioting. Well, depending on who you ask, LA is currently experiencing either the apocalypse or a polite discussion over tea. So basically, business as usual.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Google is slow. Bob can't get into Streamyard, and his 1980s computer equipment is on the fritz. Tom's camera is turning itself off. Makes you feel like you're in the Twilight Zone. But not all is lost: the Tony awards were apparently surprisingly watchable. You know, if you actually like broadway theater.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever noticed that a lot of celebrities actually look kind of weird? Big heads, big noses, big mouths. The camera might add ten pounds, but apparently it also subtracts a hat size or two. Now there's something that will actually shrink your head.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remember when we had Bill on our show back in 2020? Well, technically it was Car Selling Secrets, but who's counting. You may recall he also started a podcast shortly after that ran for about a year. He's back, it's back, and we're ready to start releasing new episodes in about a month. Until then, you'll have to settle for this show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We've known Dave for a long time. We've known Cassie, his wife, even longer. And as it turns out, ten years is a long time. We just found out recently. But not everything changes despite the passage of time, at least not right away: Dave is still out there hunting ghosts, we're still doing our podcast, and people are still greedy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever been in a 50 lane traffic jam? How about stuck in your car for 5 days? No? That must make you proud to be an American. Or anything but someone from Hong Kong, really. Maybe you're a little less proud lately what with all the smoke in the air, but at least we live in the future where we have personal air purifiers. The Jetsons would be jealous.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bob's got some big news to share today: the Twins suck. Well, and one other thing. It's not as big of a deal as Tudum, but you do get to take home something other than a shirt and a bag.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know how the Lowry tunnel is a major slowdown on a good day? Have you ever wondered how slow it would be if a semi truck wrapped itself around the divider wall? Wonder no more! Simply visit today and see for yourself. Then when you're done, why not visit Tommy at Laugh Camp tonight and tomorrow? Go see both to make sure you don't miss anything.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know what's bad? People who take what isn't theirs. You know, scammers, fraudsters, hoodwinkers, gleepsters. I may have made that last one up. What's even worse though is having to drive your own car. Think of how much you could get done during your daily commute. Not that we as Minnesotans ever have any chance of that happening, but we're very happy for Texas in a passive aggressive way.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
