We're not on a cruise ship, nor do we wish to be - #2926
13/01/2026 Duration: 01h11minCruise 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.

12/01/2026 Duration: 01h01minTom and Kathryn have completed their final move. Ever. That's what they say, anyway.

Who doesn't love moving? - #2924
09/01/2026 Duration: 01h09minTom and Kathryn are moving once more. In fact, they already started. Whether they'll be done by Monday is anyone's guess.

Surprisingly little talk about riots today - #2923
08/01/2026 Duration: 01h18minParamount 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.

07/01/2026 Duration: 01h12minWhy 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.

If you're a drummer, stay away from alcohol - #2921
06/01/2026 Duration: 01h18minThe 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 drops out, Mike Bryant drops in - #2920
05/01/2026 Duration: 01h13minWalz 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".

Two days into 2026 and we're already sick of superheroes - #2919
02/01/2026 Duration: 01h20minApparently 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.

[Lost Episode] Rocky LaPorte - #50
01/01/2026 Duration: 52min50 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. If you feel compelled to help him out, check out his GoFundMe below.https://www.gofundme.com/f/db6n5y-support-rockys-road-to-recoverySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

[Lost Episode] Arj Barker - #48
31/12/2025 Duration: 53minArj 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. This all sounds very familiar.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

[Lost Episode] Jake Shannon - #47
30/12/2025 Duration: 49minWhat'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. That'll happen after 13 years.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After all, 2025 could have been a lot worse - #2918
29/12/2025 Duration: 01h24minAndy is at the helm today as the rest of the family enjoy Florida and its lack of icy conditions. It's our 2025 wrap-up show, so remember the mostly bad times with us as we reminisce about the LA wildfires, various celebrity deaths, and whatnot.

[Lost Episode] Ali Wong - #46
26/12/2025 Duration: 51minOnce 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.

We'll see you (and hopefully that 18 billion dollars) next year - #2917
23/12/2025 Duration: 01h15minIt's the last episode with Tom and Kathryn until 2026. Maybe spending time moving will help them forget about all the constant news about Minnesota fraud. Moving sucks, but it's better than dwelling on the negative. And that's our Christmas lesson for the year: cheer up.On the show:TomKathrynKristyn BurttTim LammersTopics:Minnesota fraudMovies are expensiveMovingJapanese audienceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Abusing children is bad - #2916
22/12/2025 Duration: 01h19minEver notice how child celebrities seem to have a lot of mental issues? It seems there may be a correlation between child actors and the adults that take advantage of them in every way you could think of. That's why we're here to say "just say no" to abusing children who work for your network.On the show:The familyKristyn BurttTopics:Minnesota fraudEverywhere else fraudNed's DeclassifiedNickelodeonEmotions in children and adultsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chris Maddock admires the newly decorated studio - #2913
17/12/2025 Duration: 01h18minIt's been seven months since Chris was last here, which in normal circumstances doesn't mean a whole lot. The past seven months, however, have been rather busy. He still made it in though, and it's a good thing too. Otherwise we might have spent the show talking about ancient TV shows and kids these days.On the show:TomKathrynAndyKristyn BurttChris MaddockTopics:Friend's child in car accidentIcy drivingRob ReinerChristmas in Florida vs. MinnesotaCrowd workWhat teens are up to these daysVery tall people of yesteryearSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mary Sansevere was also stabbed recently - #2912
16/12/2025 Duration: 01h11minThe human spine is a fragile thing, and when something goes wrong, it really goes wrong. Then you end up getting a needle repeatedly shoved into it. It's not quite as bad as it sounds, but it's still not pleasant. Certainly more bearable than two decades of early childhood parenting.On the show:TomKathrynAndyCostaki EconomopoulosKristyn BurttBob SansevereMary SansevereTopics:AI generated videosPhilip Rivers has many childrenMary's spine injectionRob ReinerPlagues and maladies among the familySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In which we react to Rob Reiner being brutally murdered - #2911
15/12/2025 Duration: 01h17minAccording to what we currently know, Rob Reiner's son has been charged with stabbing him and his wife to death in their own homes. We're taking the controversial stance that breaking into your father's home and murdering him is bad. Very bad, even. Yes, we're brave that way.On the show:TomKathrynAlexKristyn BurttTim LammerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
