[Lost Episode] Arj Barker - #48
31/12/2025 Duration: 53minArj is - or at least was, as far as we know - a dual citizen in Australia. It's a very laid back place, not like America where everything is so political and everyone hates one another and...hang on. This all sounds very familiar.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

[Lost Episode] Jake Shannon - #47
30/12/2025 Duration: 49minWhat's your opinion on hypnosis? Is it a ruse, or does it actually work? Maybe you don't have one and would like to acquire one? Well too bad, because Jake's book, The Hypnotist, is out of print. That'll happen after 13 years.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After all, 2025 could have been a lot worse - #2918
29/12/2025 Duration: 01h24minAndy is at the helm today as the rest of the family enjoy Florida and its lack of icy conditions. It's our 2025 wrap-up show, so remember the mostly bad times with us as we reminisce about the LA wildfires, various celebrity deaths, and whatnot.

[Lost Episode] Ali Wong - #46
26/12/2025 Duration: 51minOnce upon a time, Ali was a relatively unknown, relatively new comedian. Today, she's been in movies, TV shows, and she's even been on the Tom Barnard Podcast. Now that's what I call celebrity. That last one specifically, I mean. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We'll see you (and hopefully that 18 billion dollars) next year - #2917
23/12/2025 Duration: 01h15minIt's the last episode with Tom and Kathryn until 2026. Maybe spending time moving will help them forget about all the constant news about Minnesota fraud. Moving sucks, but it's better than dwelling on the negative. And that's our Christmas lesson for the year: cheer up.On the show:TomKathrynKristyn BurttTim LammersTopics:Minnesota fraudMovies are expensiveMovingJapanese audienceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Abusing children is bad - #2916
22/12/2025 Duration: 01h19minEver notice how child celebrities seem to have a lot of mental issues? It seems there may be a correlation between child actors and the adults that take advantage of them in every way you could think of. That's why we're here to say "just say no" to abusing children who work for your network.On the show:The familyKristyn BurttTopics:Minnesota fraudEverywhere else fraudNed's DeclassifiedNickelodeonEmotions in children and adultsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

19/12/2025 Duration: 01h16minKobe Bryant shot footage for a documentary he planned on releasing. Then he died and it got buried. But it's still out there. Will it ever see the light of day?

Nick Swardson and Frank Caliendo are two peas in a very large pod - #2914
18/12/2025 Duration: 01h25minToday we've got two comedians in two different locations, Tom and Kathryn in another, and the studio in yet another. Somehow, it all works out.

Chris Maddock admires the newly decorated studio - #2913
17/12/2025 Duration: 01h18minIt's been seven months since Chris was last here, which in normal circumstances doesn't mean a whole lot. The past seven months, however, have been rather busy. He still made it in though, and it's a good thing too. Otherwise we might have spent the show talking about ancient TV shows and kids these days.On the show:TomKathrynAndyKristyn BurttChris MaddockTopics:Friend's child in car accidentIcy drivingRob ReinerChristmas in Florida vs. MinnesotaCrowd workWhat teens are up to these daysVery tall people of yesteryearSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mary Sansevere was also stabbed recently - #2912
16/12/2025 Duration: 01h11minThe human spine is a fragile thing, and when something goes wrong, it really goes wrong. Then you end up getting a needle repeatedly shoved into it. It's not quite as bad as it sounds, but it's still not pleasant. Certainly more bearable than two decades of early childhood parenting.On the show:TomKathrynAndyCostaki EconomopoulosKristyn BurttBob SansevereMary SansevereTopics:AI generated videosPhilip Rivers has many childrenMary's spine injectionRob ReinerPlagues and maladies among the familySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In which we react to Rob Reiner being brutally murdered - #2911
15/12/2025 Duration: 01h17minAccording to what we currently know, Rob Reiner's son has been charged with stabbing him and his wife to death in their own homes. We're taking the controversial stance that breaking into your father's home and murdering him is bad. Very bad, even. Yes, we're brave that way.On the show:TomKathrynAlexKristyn BurttTim LammerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Knives out and Mike Lindell are both returning to form - #2910
12/12/2025 Duration: 01h20minA lot of things aren't as good as they used to be. TV mainstays like The Simpsons and Saturday Night Live. Restaurants. Even Disney. But that doesn't mean they have to keep trending downward. Mike Lindell got hit harder than any of us and he's rebuilding, even throwing his hat in the ring for Minnesota governor. Knives Out 2 sucked and now the third one is good. Are we entering the era of optimism? That's probably a bit premature, but perhaps.

Stealing socks and drinking wine - #2909
11/12/2025 Duration: 01h36minAaron Schram joins us today to talk about Schram Vineyards, a local Waconia winery that Andy and Melissa went to for their anniversary. Small business is tough, and owning a vineyard is no exception. Actually it might be, because most small business doesn't involve trying to keep grapes from freezing to death. Maybe they can steal some socks to keep their grapes warm.On the show:TomKathrynAndyKristyn BurttAaron SchramTopics:Andy Dick's overdoseAl Martino stealing socksSchram VineyardsWinemakingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you want to get away with murder, don't Google "how to get away with murder" - #2908
10/12/2025 Duration: 01h12minAny cop will tell you: criminals, by and large, aren't generally the brightest. There are exceptions, of course, but you usually don't hear about them because they don't incriminate themselves in a quest for insurance money (for example). It's also possible that maybe Minnesota doesn't produce the most savvy criminals because they're always preoccupied about having to go shovel snow when they get home. It's a constant distraction.On the show:TomKathrynAndyKristyn BurttMike BryantBrittany HaganTopics:Snow, and the removal thereofDayton barn firePeople Googling their own crimesWB hostile takeoverLight railSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

09/12/2025 Duration: 01h11minQuick, how do you spell Berenstain Bears? Alright, maybe that one doesn't work when you type it out like that. But there are plenty of other Mandela Effects to theorize over. Diddy, for example. You might remember him as a rapper, but he's actually a raper.

Our listeners antagonize Nancy Sinatra, and they love pizza - #2906
08/12/2025 Duration: 01h22minToday we learn an important rule of broadcasting: don't mention pizza. Otherwise it'll dominate the conversation forever. That is exactly what happened today.

Nuns, cheese, and weather, blended all together - #2904
04/12/2025 Duration: 01h20minIt was -10 this morning, so let's talk about advances in getting your car to start when it's so cold that gasoline turns into a solid. Or at least I assume that's what's going on inside my car. I'm not a mechanic. While we're at it, let's talk about advances in bottom of the barrel cheese.

We come from the land of ice and snow - #2903
03/12/2025 Duration: 01h14minWinter is officially here. I mean "official" by Minnesota standards: we're hitting sub-zero temperatures tonight. Now that's what you call winter. But what do you call a Real ID? Find out the difference and what you need the various types of Minnesota ID for on today's show, when we're not complaining about louts and scallywags.

Minnesota, the state that offers very little - #2902
02/12/2025 Duration: 01h16minDecember just started and we're looking at nearly a foot of snow with subzero temperatures. Our sports teams are almost all quite awful. Our government is even worse than our sports teams. Not that we have nothing but complaints. The Vikings sucking generates a solid 30-45 minutes of content every week via Bob's exasperation.
