The Tom Barnard Show

If you're looking for an excessively long movie, look no further than The Irishman.  It'll probably still feel shorter than The Joker considering the month long doomsaying campaign the media has put together about it.  Still, both could be good.  Especially if watched at home.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ruta is a Thalian.  No, it's not the name of an extraterrestrial species.  It's a 65 year old charity for mental illness.  And yes, I know what you're thinking; they're called Thalians because Thalia was the name of the Greek Muse of comedy.  Little known related fact: Costaki is the Muse of football.  Work on the marble statue is underway.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are so many networks and movie studios that it's harder than ever for a non-established outfit to attain fame. The solution? Go back to the philosophy "if it's outrageous people will watch it" of yore.  And it seems to be working.  Dolomite is one type of out there, Last Blood is a very different one, and Pennyworth is yet another.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

15 years ago, people were making jokes about how bad autocorrect is.  Today, it has somehow gotten no better.  Kind of like comedy.  That's one of many reasons we often compare Jeff to a cutting edge adaptive artificial intelligence programmer.  At least erectile dysfunction technology is improving.  At least that's what the unsolicited emails of unknown origin tell us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know what the funniest thing about Iran is?  Nothing, apparently.  It's kind of like America, except in America it's the liberals making life unfunny and in Iran it's the conservatives.  Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned there.  Another lesson: don't mess with the Mafia.  That's not related, it's just good advice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Halloween is fast approaching, which naturally means vampires, werewolves, and ghosts are going to be all over the place.  Good thing Count Crowley is on the case.  Kind of.  Either way she's - he's? - hunting monsters, so we're all relatively safe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV.  It only really bothers us when it's violence against dogs, so it's usually not a problem until something like A Dog's Journey comes out.  Somehow zombies are funny even though they're technically human.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the longest time, comedy and music went hand in hand.  Some of the most legendary entertainers of the modern era alternated between singing and riffing.  Todd seeks to keep that dying bond alive.  It helps that unlike 90% of people he doesn't immediately dismiss anything that wasn't on the radio when he was 16.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We learned a very important lesson today courtesy of Leonard: people don't like it when you imply their mom slept around.  We had no idea.  We also didn't know that wearing dozens of Village People-esque outfits could be such a big deal.  Is it so wrong to want to go to the YMCA?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are two kinds of body work you'll probably have to do a lot of in your life.  The first is fixing your car's chassis, which Darren can take care of.  The second is not eating donut sandwiches.  At least try to keep them down to once a year.  The only person who can help you there is yourself. Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Darren Heairet. Darren is a partner with the Walsers in 6 collision centers in Minnesota. He talks about what it takes to stay current on all the changing technology in the industry and the challenge of hiring qualified body repair people leading to the eventual decision to 'grow his own'. In the meantime, he try to sell a guest from the first hour on why he should trade his beloved Tacoma on a new one. Somehow the conversation turns to Tom's childhood dog meeting a sad and cruel end and what our exotic dancer names would be but that's just how podcasts work. www.walser.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every era has its problems.  Today it's all about race, the environment, and left vs right.  700 years ago the only problem anyone had was where to bury their mystic runestones.  Also war, famine, and plague, but those aren't as interesting as a real life Da Vinci Code so Scott went with the runestones.

The entire west coast has always been something of a self-parody.  Well now it's a third person parody.  More specifically Matt is parodying Silicon Valley, the place that's so ridiculous many people think it's made up.  And as far as we know it is.  We've never actually seen this so-called valley.

Minnesotans hate insects that bite.  I mean, so does everyone, but we have a special relationship with them.  One such insect is the tick, which carries a wide variety of diseases and is just gross.  So where did they come from?  Like most things bad, the answer begins with very powerful people who want other very powerful people dead.

Some guys just have all the luck.  Steven is one of them in that he has all the good luck and the bad luck.  He's been a medical mystery his whole life, and apparently he's good at solving mysteries because he's beaten every case.  Well Bryan has a few cases that could use some attention because they have the potential to end human life as we know it.  The good news is it'll probably be a while.
