The Tom Barnard Show

If you're one of the proud few who actually pays taxes, you're paying for someone else to have something.  In many cases this is fine.  The question is where to draw that line.  Personally we draw it just after luxury movie theaters.  Why a silver screen when it could be gold?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know who loves the American justice system?  Basically nobody.  Especially not people like Massoud who've gone through it.  It's just another facet of the current climate of us versus them and winning at all costs.  Surely this is the decade they'll finally reform everything like they've been saying.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three movies about toys came out recently.  Somehow all three are spooky even though one is Toy Story.  It's also apparently the best movie ever made, so go see it.  It's certainly a better investment than spending $200 per person watching someone phone it in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone wants to be part of something.  Sometimes that thing is a homeless compound.  Sometimes it's an internet lynch mob.  And sometimes - just sometimes - it's something that isn't horrible.  Like a member of a comedy audience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 80s were a different time.  Car sales techniques were perhaps slightly less scrupulous and definitely less user friendly, Minnesota sports actually had promise, and a new technology called VHS allowed anyone with enough money to make their own home movies.  In retrospect, the last one may have been a mistake. Tom and Doug are joined by Ellie Swenson who started her career as a receptionist and rose through the ranks to become a dealership partner. She talks the challenges women face in a male dominated industry and the steps Walser is taking to knock down those barriers. Along the way we talk about why you shouldn't set a leased car on fire and report it stolen and we relive the 1987 Twins title drive and Ellie's part in what is arguably the worst video ever to come out of Paisley Park.

Throw away those bone marrow dentures, because the age of your face being your face has ended.  At least on video.  In person nobody's paying attention anyway.  Too busy being mad at the news.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

San Fransisco is one of those places where every neighborhood is its own thing.  As a whole, it's not great, but you could say the same thing about virtually any city on earth.  The trick is knowing where to go, and to obtain that knowledge you generally have to live there first.  Or you can just ask Jamal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every generation thinks theirs is the best.  Every generation is wrong, because that's not how it works.  How it does work is that trends come and go and every five years teenagers define themselves around something they'll forget existed once they graduate.  Then there's baseball, which still endures after all these years despite recent hardship thanks to plays like Ron Swoboda's Oriole-slaying catch.
