The Tom Barnard Show

The western world seems to have a grudge against all things masculine, but that wasn't always the case. Teddy Roosevelt was arguably the manliest president we've ever had, which was good timing considering World War 1 was on the horizon. Mike Bryant and Neil Sheehy are attempting to revive the hyper-masculine chic, with help from the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know how everyone is afraid civil war is going to break out? It's happened before. When JFK was shot there was some turmoil going on.

It's a lockdown. A paranormal lockdown. Said lockdown involves going somewhere haunted and staying there for 72 hours. We're not the ones doing it, of course.

Happy Meal toys are still a big deal, apparently. Beanie Babies are not, except for those ones that are worth upward of $20,000.

Amazon is worth more than the majority of countries on earth, and you don't get that much money by being charitable. That doesn't necessarily mean they're bad for the economy. You just have to know how to maneuver yourself so they accidentally make you richer. And speaking of people getting rich, there have been an awful lot of recounts lately. Word is some ballots have been found in giant bags with dollar signs on them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are some things that simply can't be explained by modern science. Among the most mysterious is the stupidity of the wild turkey.

Josh Wolf is unique in that his children actually listen to him, thanks in part to being the youngest in a long line of hard-asses. You can't always be a hard-ass though, which is where comic books come in. And weed. Technically you can't overdose on either.

We're living in a material world. Soon we may be living in a virtual one. Until then we have to settle for messed up-looking holograms and CGI. Those things are scary. That's fine, because Dr. Carroll says it's time to embrace our fears, along with the many other negative emotions we attempt to run from.

Songs are often misunderstood. It doesn't help that they often use obscure metaphors and unfitting tones. Even more difficult to understand are people who go on a rampage. We can't investigate exactly what's wrong with their brains, but we can attempt to understand their motives and perhaps use that knowledge to make the future a bit safer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we talk about two different watchers. One is Brittany, who watches for child predators. That's a pretty important job.

When you hear about global issues, it's usually in the form of complaining or doomsaying without offering any solutions. Sometimes people take the path less traveled and actually address the issues, or at least they don't whine about them impotently.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've almost definitely heard of ISIS. Have you heard of Hezbollah? They're similar in many ways, especially in the way where they want to destroy western culture. Well, it's more like the foot soldiers want to destroy western culture and the higher ups want to make a lot of money.  Sam will explain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom talks about the mob a lot. He also talks about the non-Godfather one. Both of them have a long list of people they'd kill if they got the chance, but at least with one of them it's strictly business.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Somehow every NFL team is terrible this year, so instead we turn to women's football. Did you know there are women's tackle leagues? It's true.

California is on fire again. It's barely even news at this point. The box office is also on fire, in the bad way. You know, like burning money. And capping off our day of fun, Stan Lee has died at the age of 95.

It seems like a lot of Catholics grew up poor. Maybe it's just that they tend to seek each other out. Maybe it's that once you've grown up around the mob you stay around the mob.
