The Tom Barnard Show

When you think "star", you probably think someone whose name you know.  Not any more.  Unless you count Sporty Spice, but that's not actually her name so it doesn't really count.  The younger generation isn't as focused on Hollywood celebrities.  They like social media influencers whose real names they never learn.  Hey, those nameless pseudo-celebrities are making millions of dollars talking into an iPhone camera.  I'm sure they're not complaining.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you heard about the bible?  It's a somewhat popular book.  There's a whole religion behind it, in fact.  Actually, there are about a million.  They're all called "Christianity".  It's very confusing.  That's why Jason suggests you pay less attention to the label and more attention to the results.  Is it bringing you good?  Good, keep it.  Is it bringing you bad?  Bad, get rid of it.  Note: does not apply to podcasts.  You have to keep listening to those forever.

The Vikings have disappointed us once more.  This time it's different though.  This time they didn't perform quite as badly as we expected them to.  That's a form of success, right?  It's a relative victory.  Kind of like going from three packs of cigarettes a day to one.  It's still a lot of smoke, just less.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you like Cream of Wheat?  You probably paid for the Cream of Wheat mansion.  Technically, that means you're a partial owner.  You could probably live there as long as you stay within a .5 square foot area in the closet.  It won't be comfortable, but you can still watch movies on your phone.  For example, Cry Macho.  It stars a rooster.  Also Clint Eastwood.  The rooster is the real star though.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They say the internet never forgets.  Well, today that adage is proven very true.  Remember when Gelfand was on Wheel of Fortune almost forty years ago?  Today we discover a play-by-play of said episode, down to the letter.  Literally.  We also discover that Gelfand is pretty good at cutting commercials.  Almost as if he's done it thousands of times before.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you heard of LuLaRoe?  We haven't, and apparently we're the last ones on earth not to have.  Not to be confused with Lululemon, which we also talk about.  They're actually quite similar, except one of them is apparently embroiled in scandal.  We'll let you guess which one.  And speaking of lemons, we also learned that Kristyn hates all food.  Weird.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a world of negativity, sometimes the only thing you can do is be even more negative than everyone else.  That way, the world looks like a positive place in comparison.  It's like being the tallest person at a short person convention.  That's why we only consume mainstream media and horror movies.  Can't get more negative than that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another year, another football season.  It brings Americans together in shame.  Except, of course, people from New England.  Maybe that's why they never get along with anyone.  That or because our "leaders" can't go without flip flopping for a single day.  I vote for the football-based explanation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People take their coffee all sorts of ways.  Sometimes it's black.  Sometimes it's so full of ingredients that it more closely resembles pudding than coffee.  We generally like to stick to somewhere in between the two.  We also like to stick to not going into strip clubs, which is much easier than it used to be.  They've all burned down at this point.  What a coincidence!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amanda Valdez joins us in studio to talk about a rare disease that affects her son and nephew. If you recall the movie 'Lorenzo's Oil it deals with something called ALD. There is a virtual 5K to raise money for research. For more info, go to xoutald.org.  Along the way we find out that Amanda's son and Tom's grandson are bitter soccer rivals on the mean streets of West Bloomington. We also discover that Amanda works as a parole officer which leads us on a tour of 70's strip clubs in St. Paul, racketeering and the unfortunate end of some of Tom's uncles.

Taylor Tomlinson is the youngest comedian ever born.  No, not literally.  Though the way Tom talks you'd think so.  You'd also think she's never failed at anything.  That part is true.  For proof, she recently recorded a special, performed flawlessly.  Witness the perfection by watching Quarter-Life Crisis on Netflix, or visit the Pantages Theater on the 16th.  Assuming you can get a ticket, anyway.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Afghanistan is a mess.  Global warming is about to kill us all, just like it has been for the past 40 years.  Covid's there to finish off the survivors.  And to make it even worse, nobody even knows what's going on because they don't understand how statistics work.  Ignorance is only bliss if you can ignore absolutely everything, and in order to do that you might have to move somewhere very far away. Also, Joe has alerted us to a friend in need who lost everything to water damage.  Consider pitching in to help rebuild below. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-jamie-get-a-new-mobile-homeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paper Doll Lina is a book about domestic violence.  It's also a book about Robyn.  Against expectations, she manages to make the interview feel positive.  Maybe it's because she's managed to dethrone Dolly Parton.  Not many people can say that.  Regardless, it's a negative subject that must be confronted to some degree.  Try starting with a book.  We have one in mind.

If you ever get a chance to try fentanyl, we strongly advise you pass on that particular adventure.  However, most people who overdose on fentanyl don't even know they're taking it.  That's why it's a problem.  Of course, you could argue that most problems in America right now are due to people buying one thing and getting another.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The past year and a half has not been kind to the economy.  Not even the state fair has been spared.  Attendance is down nearly 50% since 2019, and not just because people are worried about covid.  Cities seem to be going the way of the newspaper due to skyrocketing crime.  But the real crime is movies like Ammonite.  If you want to protest something, protest that coming out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
