The Tom Barnard Show

Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Eddie Spadino. Eddie is an over the road truck driver with more than two million miles under his belt. We discuss costs, accidents, road hazards and how truck drivers are paid. Eddie also talks about pet peeves. Pro tip, don’t try to cut off something that weighs over 40 tons and also, don’t drive a pickup truck into a semi that’s stopped.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cars can last a really long time if you treat them right.  Most people think a 20 year old car is beyond the pale.  For Jayson, that number is more like 80.  Turns out 3000+ pounds of metal takes a long time to go bad unless you let it decay on the side of the road.  And people do.  For the ones that are still worth saving, there's Iron Resurrection.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Selling a house is hard.  This becomes exponentially more true the more expensive the house.  Aaron regularly sells houses worth tens of millions, so he can tell you.  And he did, by making a show called Listing Impossible on CNBC.  None of us will probably ever live in houses that expensive, but that doesn't mean the ones we do live in aren't a lot of work.  Have you ever counted 268 light bulbs?  I thought not.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Living in a very rural area has its perks, assuming you like animals.  For one, you'll see more species in a day than you would in an entire lifetime in the city.  This is especially true if you decide to bring in a bunch of sheep and goats.  Then, fly down to Florida and check out the geckos, alligators, and parrots.  You don't even have to leave the country to be an amateur zoologist.  It doesn't pay very well though.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Circumcision has been around a very long time, yet remains relatively cloistered on the world stage.  Some will tell you that's bad.  Like the guy who made Corn Flakes.  Big fan of the circumcision, allegedly.  Others would prefer to see the practice eliminated entirely, like Anthony.  Still others are more worried about what stupid crap Wendy Williams said this week.  By our count, that's two valid concerns and one much less so.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Being a parent is tough.  Really, doing anything is tough.  You can't even cry over spilled milk any more without getting yelled at.  Just listen to DadLands and watch Tacoma FD instead of listening to anything social media tells you.  You'll be much happier.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keep off the grass.  And also the GRAS.  The first one you've probably heard of.  The second one is Generally Recognized as Safe.  The vague language should be a tip-off that GRAS doesn't mean that it's been confirmed as good for you.  The dose makes the poison, and that's true for a lot of things that are GRAS, especially cosmetics.  Still, nature is what brought us lead, arsenic, and asbestos, so try to make informed decisions rather than just living "naturally".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone's dying everywhere.  Or so the media would have you believe.  Rush Limbaugh probably is, but you can't get what he has, so don't worry.  As for the other thing everyone's worried about, as long as you don't go to China your odds of dying are lower than winning the lottery.  So it's like every yearly worldwide panic ever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before we begin, we have to get one thing out of the way: go Chiefs.  Anyway.  There's nothing a global mega-corporation loves more than saving money.  If you're a highly skilled, long-time employee in the first world, you cost a lot of money.  Normally that wouldn't be a problem, except there's an entire planet full of people willing to do your job for half the price.  It's not strictly legal, but it's not strictly illegal either so you can't do anything about it.  Anything except vote when the opportunity arises.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
