The Tom Barnard Show

Two years ago, in the middle of covid, Kathryn's dad was trying to come back up north from Arizona.  He was alone in a nursing home and couldn't get back to see his family.  But then, Veterans Airlift Command stepped up and gave him a free flight to honor his status as a World War 2 veteran.  There are millions of veterans out there, and thousands of them can't visit family or return home due to poverty, PTSD, or injury.  That's why Jen and crew are giving flights to wounded veterans, fueled by your donations.  Bitcoin not accepted.  It's too confusing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apparently Jay Leno and Kristyn have a lot in common.  They're both from the same town, apparently.  They've also both had severe burns.  I never said that having things in common is necessarily a good thing.  This podcast also shares some commonalities with a celebrity.  Sylvester Stallone has a Palm Beach house with many pools, while we have an inch of slush outside our office building.  You could probably swim in it if you really wanted to.  So really, we're not all that different.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elections can't be trusted.  Movies can't be trusted.  Crypto can't be trusted.  Not even our football teams can be trusted.  The Vikings, in the lead?  Something insidious is clearly going on.  So you have two choices.  You can either succumb to paranoia, or you can put your trust in something concrete and dependable.  Something that's been there since the very beginning.  That's right, we're talking about this podcast.  Hey, it's true if you're under eleven years old.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you think about famous people, you probably think about overdosing on drugs.  I mean, them overdosing on drugs.  Though you couldn't be blamed for wanting to end it all when you hear about the latest celebrity "news".  Anyway, there's a reason the connection between celebrities and drugs is so universal.  Harry Milman has gone through several celebrity deaths to investigate the strange circumstances behind them.  Of the ones he looked at, 70% of them involved drugs.  That's a lot. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're 60% of Americans, you're going to go out and vote.  If you're the other 40%, you probably live in a place like Minneapolis where it's so skewed that you feel like voting is completely pointless.  Still, you never know.  Plus you get one of those stickers, and stickers are cool.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spooktemper continues with Daniel, author of American Demon, who tells us all about cutting bodies in half with surgical precision.  I mean a serial killer doing it, not Daniel.  He's an author, not a surgeon.  And speaking of serial killers, we learn that Brett Favre might as well be one in Tom's eyes.  It doesn't get more evil than being a prick, apparently.

What do car stories and electroshock have in common?  Seriously, we're asking you.  And no, "this podcast" doesn't count.  How about this one: what do Landon and Kim have in common?  This time, "this podcast" does count.  As does KQ.  Now if they had both been treated for schizophrenia in the 1950s, we'd have solved both riddles.  Rarely is life that convenient.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every culture has their own mythology related to death.  Most of them are pretty much the same: you die, you go somewhere else.  Sometimes that place isn't so good, but usually it's at least a lateral move.  But for all the worrying we do about the afterlife, we often don't do a great job at making sure this life goes smoothly.  Taking stupid risks, getting involved in crime, that sort of thing.  Sleiman knows firsthand how dangerous life can be when you enter the criminal world, and he also knows how freeing it is to break out of it.  Be like Google used to be, long ago.  Make "don't be evil" your motto.

What do you get when you cross a human with more money than they know what to do with?  You get a lot of very bad behavior.  Aside from extremely bad opinions, this is the thread that connects pro athletes, politicians, and celebrities.  Oh, and drugs.  That's another thread.  And plastic surgery.  Actually, all rich people have quite a bit in common now that I think about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the spookiest night of the year.  The day that the veil between the afterlife and the regularlife is thinnest.  Unless you ask Echo Bodine, in which case that's a bunch of crap.  But it certainly makes for a good backdrop for something like Shane's new show, 28 Days Haunted, which theorizes that it takes 28 days to transition from this realm to the next.  That's coincidentally also the amount of time it takes the Vikings to transition from a competent team to a disappointment.  Just give it time, it'll happen. 28 Days Haunted is currently streaming on Netflix.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since about the year 0, faith leaders have searched for a way to make Jesus seem cool to teenagers.  Trying to mix Christianity and cutting edge pop culture trends often doesn't go well.  Evangelical rap is a great example of a catastrophic culture clash.  Robyn is the star of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, which is a Christian movie, but it doesn't try too hard to be cool, so it's actually good.  Watch it on Pureflix at www.pureflix.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Minneapolis has quickly earned a reputation over the past couple years as a pro-crime city.  Its leaders are also boggling over the fact that nobody wants to be a cop there.  It's a real mystery, that's for sure.  Scott Rose, sheriff in Dodge County and host of the Officer Down Podcast, comes on to talk about slain police and the efforts to smear them all as evil.  Hopefully all it takes is some awareness to get people to realize that law enforcement is a preferable alternative to endless violent crime.  Hopefully.   Listen to Scott's podcast here: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/24775782See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
