The Tom Barnard Show

We like to get people of all walks of life on our show. A famous impressionist, a psychotherapist (not a psychologist), an ex-cop, a Hollywood reporter. Also two podcasters. Not quite as exciting, I know.On the show:TomAndyKristyn BurttDaveJesse the ShrinkFrank CaliendoTopics covered:All this hatred of one anotherPolice dash camsPodcasting killed the radio starImpressions vs. the legal systemSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As gambling becomes easier and more accessible, so does cheating. It's just a fact of life. Players are losing millions to tables equipped with x-ray machines and opponents with bionic eyes. On the other side, apparently you can have your entire skeleton shattered and still play if that's what you want. Or more accurately, if that's what your coach wants.

If you're looking for Bob, look to the future. Tomorrow, specifically. He'll be on Tuesdays from now on since Chris Egert unfortunately can't make it in any more. From now on, Monday is for discussion about what happened over the weekend, and there's never any shortage of that. If any of this news makes you feel like eating your feelings, we have a lovely 20,000 calorie burger we can recommend.On the show:The familyKristyn BurttTopics covered:FrankensteinBurgersHeart Attack GrillTaylor Sheridan leaving ParamountAlex's fundraiserAndy's birthdaySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You've got one more week until Halloween, which means seven days of horror and horror-adjacent media. Then November hits and it's all over. And that's a shame, because on top of decades of mandatory classics, you need to watch new stuff too. They should really think about extending the season a week or two into November.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Crash and Burn is here for the 14th year in a row, which makes it only slightly older than our own show. Back then, people were less into watching shows about psychotic murderers or sex traffickers. It was a much more optimistic time. It could be argued we need comedy now more than then, so go check it out lest you too fall into the true crime rabbit hole.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mark Malkoff joins us today to determine who's more obsessed with Carson - him or Tom. Considering he's written a book and hosted a podcast specifically on the topic, it's safe to say it's him. But we've done almost 3000 episodes of this show and Carson comes up in approximately half of them, so maybe it's closer than you think.On the show:TomAndyKristyn BurttMark MalkoffTopics covered:Halloween moviesTorture porn vs. movies that are actually goodJohnny CarsonLove Johnny CarsonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever watched a football game so bad you started thinking about race relations of the 1930s and invasive medical procedures to cope? If so, you might be a Falcons fan. Or a Vikings fan. And while we're on the subject of much-needed change, Minnetonka's getting a new mayor in two weeks. One candidate, Ellen Cousins, joins us today to talk about what she'd bring to the city.On the show:TomKathrynAndyCostaki EconompoulosKristyn BurttEllen CousinsTopics covered:Jesse Owens vs. Adolf HitlerBone marrow transplantLithium ion battery safetyMinnetonka mayoral raceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tom and Kathryn watched a John Candy documentary. Similarities were noticed. Kind of like how boy bands and k-pop are similar. Or how the red carpet is similar to certain circles of hell. Life is full of comparisons.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They're doing more stuff in Riyadh, which means more celebrities making millions of dollars and people being very unhappy about that. Ace Frehley made his money the legitimate way by rocking and rolling all night, so nobody's mad at him.On the show:The familyKristyn BurttTim LammersTopics covered:RiyadhCharlie meets CostakiGood FortuneNaked GunAce Frehley diesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Apparently motorcycles break a lot. At least they do when you ride them across the country nonstop. Motorcycles aren't exactly the safest machines to begin with, but when you add "catastrophic axle damage" to the equation you've got a real problem. That's why we recommend divine intervention. It works great if you can get it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When you think of someone who wants to change Minnesota, you think of positions of fame. Governor, mayor of a big city, state senator, and so forth. But what about auditor? Lack of oversight on our spending is arguably one of our biggest issues. Being able to fix that would go a long way toward fixing everything else. That's what Nate's all about. We'll start with the budget and work our way from there.On the show:TomKathrynAndyNate GeorgeTopics covered:AI bubbleMinnesota state auditorPoorly managed Minnesota financesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We've got an investment opportunity for you. $100,000 can get you $10,000,000, and it's a sure thing. All we need is a time machine. It doesn't have to be a great one. Even just 20 years back will suffice. Failing that, we suggest shorting the Jets. Can you short an NFL team?

Tom and Kathryn are in Florida once more, the hostages have been freed, and Bob's about to be a grandpa. All is well in the world. For the five people on today's show, anyway.

Not everyone, not even the very rich, often make it to 100. Most of us do make it to the age where you need reading glasses though. That's pretty scary. Even scarier than a giant green guy lumbering around going "rrrrr".

The whole family is absent today save for one. Luckily, it's the one who knows how to work all these electronics.

Today in football news: not very much football. But there was an alleyway altercation where a football-adjacent individual got stabbed, which is just unusual enough to make it its own segment.On the show:TomKathrynAndyKristyn BurttCostaki EconomopoulosRick KupchellaTopics Covered:Mark Sanchez gets stabbedTree frogCalifornia's AI billPrecarious StateSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've ever wanted to lose 220 million dollars, you should have gotten into Minneapolis commercial real estate about ten years ago. But hey, it's not too late. There's plenty of money left to lose in that city, unless things start changing in a hurry. And speaking of changing in a hurry, when are all of these hundred year old former NFL players getting into the hall of fame? When, I ask you?On the show:TomKathrynAndyKristyn BurttBob SansevereTopics covered:Precarious StateMinneapolis office spaceJay JonesFootball (non) hall of famersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

First Kathryn is incapacitated, now Andy. That's okay though. How hard could running all that equipment really be?

No, he's not running for governor. Sorry, we've asked. That goes for both our guests today. Being governor is a lot of pressure. You've got the mansion, the speeches, the top hat. It's just too much.
