The Tom Barnard Show

Bobby ain't studdin' ya.  Don't know what that means?  Then you're too young for this episode.  Unfortunately "too young" in this case means under the age of like 70, because the geniuses in the music industry decided to kill off the R&B genre decades ago along with the culture that came with it.  Still, rules are rules.  Septuagenarians and up only.  If your fake mustache is convincing enough we may make an exception.

Comedy is coming back, and the comedians that dole it out are coming with it.  Only the really good ones though.  It's more of a place of honor that way.  As such, that means Mike has joined the legendary Comedy Pantheon along with Costaki.  It's just those two for now.  Who will be worthy of position number three?  No, seriously, we have no idea.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mental health is a serious issue.  It has been for thousands of years, although until quite recently it was generally blamed on an excess of sea serpents or whatever.  We've made a lot of progress, but we still have a long way to go.  And not just when it comes to treatment.  Conversation and understanding help a lot, and both of them are severely lacking.  Until today, that is.  It's 40 solid minutes of pure information.  Well, something like that anyway.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone loves a good burger.  Even vegetarians are eating burgers these days, as long as they're made out of lentils or whatever.  Hey, it's better than it sounds.  The face of the modern burger, however, has changed.  Today we demand more than a slice of cheese.  As such, "plain ol' burger" places are struggling unless they're already so situated that they can't possibly fail.  McDonald's and Burger King will be around forever.  For the rest of us, it's gourmet burgers served on an organic bun.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Politicians.  We don't like them.  We especially don't like the ones that threaten to burn down small neighborhoods to coerce them.  No, we're not talking about Rome 2000 years ago or a bad guy in a cartoon.  We're talking about Minnesota last year.  They voted him into office after that, of course.  The current forecast states that the Minnesota Nice stereotype will be soon replaced with Minnesota Oblivious.  After that, it'll be Minnesota Murdered In A Carjacking.  It's quite a mouthful, but it's very accurate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've discovered the secret to a low stress life.  It's the result of decades of data collection and a supercomputer processing the information using a complex algorithm.  Are you ready?  Here it is: crime is bad.  That may sound strange, but it's the truth.  It turns out that you want to avoid crime and criminals.  Second is football.  Don't look up your team's crap factor.  You'll only be disappointed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Space.  The final frontier.  For aliens, I mean.  Not for us.  We'll be stuck here forever.  That's why the idea of being visited by aliens is so interesting.  It's the last hope most of us have for contact with the rest of the universe.  Of course, depending on who you ask we've had contact for hundreds, maybe thousands of years.  The truth is out there.  And it's also in Martin's book.

Apparently, some people can watch a spiral pattern for an hour and stop smoking.  We call those people very lucky.  It works for all sorts of things.  Drinking, insomnia, free will, you can cure it all.  What you can't cure is your nostalgia for being able to buy a house for a bottle of laudanum and a cubit of hardtack.  Well, actually maybe you can.  Give it a try.  And if it doesn't work you can just drink that laudanum and you won't care any more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The best offense is a good defense.  Or is it the other way around?  Well it applies either way.  Active defense.  Stun guns, pepper spray, that sort of thing.  Become a Damsel in Defense, even if you're a man.  Or if you're a child.  The moral of the story is that everyone is always in danger and should know how to deal with it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you love the environment, it's time to get shorter.  We mean that literally.  Reduce that height.  You'll consume fewer resources and you'll need less energy to move.  It's basic physics.  If that sounds crazy, then you must not be a genius doctor or whatever.  If it doesn't, we have good news.  Most fish is allegedly made of a mystery potion that may or may not stunt your growth, so just get a nice tuna sub and you're well on your way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As our society becomes exponentially more politically correct every day, people become more frequently and easily offended.  Seems paradoxical, doesn't it?  Not if you understand the true cause of offense: perception.  Anyone can be offended by anything if they perceive it the wrong way, and right now people are being taught to always assume the worst.  Carol says it's time to see the world for what it is, not for what you've been trained to see by the constant negativity.  It's time to make objectivity cool again.

Reality TV is popular to watch and even more popular to hate.  Today we'll give you a few more reasons to be part of the second group, and it's not actually related to the TV part at all.  Shockingly, it turns out that as celebrities trend toward being awful, so too do reality stars.  One might get it into their head that celebrity makes people crazy.  Or at least they would have back when the word "crazy" wasn't off limits.  We're broadcasting from the distant past so it's fine for us to say it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
