The Tom Barnard Show

Would you drink onion coffee? Probably not, because it would be gross. Would you eat deadly blowfish? The reason not to consume that one is much more compelling. How about hoarding? Don't do that. Or moving. Or naming your cars. Just don't do anything except listen to podcasts to be safe. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What does it take to get a star on the Walk of Fame? Apparently if a camera has been pointed at you at some point, you're eligible. Even if you're not a person. Even if you're a car or a building. Really, it seems like you just have to be willing to pay for it. So make sure to become a politician first so you can afford it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You could argue that Whip It is the Zebra Cake of music. You could also argue that that doesn't make any sense. Depends on how you look at it.

If there's one thing that will never change about celebrities, it's their penchant for self-destruction. There's a psychological phenomenon called "the call of the void" where some people feel compelled to jump off cliffs. Apparently there's also a phenomenon called "the call of the bottle" where some celebrities feel compelled to drink and drive, and it seems a lot more common. Learn more about your ad choices.

TV news viewership is at record lows but their profits are at record highs. How is this possible? If we knew, we'd probably be doing it.

Grandparents being involved in their grandkids' lives seems to be a generational and cultural thing. If your grandpa had such bad PTSD that he couldn't be trusted around kids, that's a bad indicator. On the other hand, in some cultures it's not unusual to put your parents in a suite on the third floor. Probably a lot of spending time with the kids in those households. The real difficulty is less spending time and more picking a name. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Remember when making fun of people for talking about Crossfit was all the rage? Not any more. It's been forgotten.
