The Tom Barnard Show

(Part 4)John and Tom have known one another for a very long time. They've both known Jack Hicks for a long time as well. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? And by "I'm", I mean "they're".

(Part 3)Resident Evil is not a new IP. It's Playstation 1 old, if that tells you anything. And yet, it keeps getting movies. It's been getting them for decades, and the latest one just came out. Tim's hammer gives it two thumbs up, which is interesting because the rest of them are nothing special. Perhaps 2026 is the beginning of the silver age of zombies.Topics:Resident Evil is goodVin Diesel is not a good singerLizzie Borden will be on MonsterShatner is an interesting fellowEd Sheeran vs Macklemore

(Part 2)CNN might merge with CBS News in the future, which means one of them is going to be subsumed by the other. That means layoffs. Makes you pine for the days of stability and reliability. Good news on that front: Dancing with the Stars is entering its ten billionth season. It'll never go away.Topics:Kristyn at KPBSTMZ might be leaving CaliforniaParamount merger affecting CNN and CBS NewsDancing with the StarsEzra Frech

(Part 1)They discovered a new cat in Bolivia. It weighs three pounds and would probably try to kill you if you tried to pet it. But it sure is cute.Topics:RoastinearsLeopardus TilcayoMighty Mike PlaysPete Hegseth doesn't get fired

(Part 4)Jordan has created Anxin, an app you use to scan your grocery receipts and get notified of any food recalls. That's pretty nifty, especially if you've experienced food poisoning before. It can also tell you where your products originated, when they're going to expire, and probably other things we forgot to ask.Visit https://pieceofmind.fyi/ to check it out, or download Anxin on the App Store or Google Play!This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show? Reach out to us at https://www.podmatch.com/member/tombarnardpodcast.

(Part 3)Neil Laird is like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft, except he doesn't end up destroying everything he touches. Or kill people. And to be fair, the one story he told about something being destroyed wasn't even his fault. It was that dastardly modern air.In addition to being a documentarian, Neil is an author!

(Part 2)Things are going down in LA. Tragic bus crashes, tragic helicopter crashes, tragic car influencer crashes. You could say it's a real bummer. You could also say that all this death makes it hard to care about the Emmys. We're still gonna talk about it though.Topics:SUV T-bones busLA news chopper crashesJames Wehr and Lexi Kramer car accidentPrimetime EmmysWe miss Louie AndersonTraitors got a three season renewal

(Part 1)If you've ever had a bad doctor, this episode is for you. Because we complain about that. Also turkeys. Those guys are jerks.Topics:Bad doctorsDolly Parton corn mazePiddington votes to leave the UKTurkeys are annoying

(Part 4)Have you ever had to travel for work? Have you ever had to hop on a 23 hour flight and play a football game the same day you landed? Probably not, unless you're on the Rams. If so, you should really tell your manager about jet lag.

(Part 3)Jack's back with shiny new arteries and he's feeling better than ever. The same can't be said for Mr. Farley, or for Cumulus Media. Maybe if they had both listened to more Jesus Tapes, they'd have done better.

(Part 2)Entertainment has gone wild lately. The Wiggles are getting a new member who enjoys being oily and shirtless, Sydney Sweeney is taking her clothes off, and Teletubby sexuality is being discussed for the first time in decades. Don't worry, we're a strictly PG-13 show. We only showed one of those things on camera.Topics:Primetime Emmys later todayBob Mackie diedHayden Panettiere confirmed died of fentanyl overdoseCelebrity drug addictionOnly Murders in the BuildingTeletubby sexuality rumorsThe Wiggles are backSydney Sweeney's Novig adDWTS coming back tomorrow

(Part 1)Entertainment in the 50s was very different. They didn't have social media videos of bucks falling in swimming pools or stories from far off lands of people doing their own urethroplasty. They often had to rely on the famously personable Jerry Lewis, or musicals about how easy it is to change a man after you've married him.Topics:Sage's cross country victoryVikings comeback against the PackersGuys and DollsJerry Lewis 2016 interviewBuck gets into Florida houseMan superglues his urethra shut

We had Dave on the show a while back, but it was done remotely. Lacking the personal touch, you know? Well today that changes. Especially for Jude.

Kids on social media. Politicians. Terrorist attacks. It's a very negative mood today. Not that that's surprising, given what day it is. But we talk about some good stuff too. Practical Magic 2 is apparently getting panned, but Tim says it's alright.

Kathryn and Tom have been getting into retro TV. And by retro I mean like 2018. Regardless, that was back when people were wowed by little kids singing on stage. Good times, right?Topics:More 9/11Landman season 3 delaysJeffrey Li and Celine TanThe Hawk

Today is a somber day. It's the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. During this segment we play some clips of the KQ Morning Show and hear them as they slowly put the pieces together, reacting in real time to the news. But first, a bit of a scuffle between two of the pod dogs.

Roy goes by the Podfather. Probably because he has ten podcasts. When he's not making podcasts, he's making Poland sound like a really nice place to live.

Years ago, Michael was driving when he suddenly had a vision so real that he had to pull over to collect himself. Now, that vision has been made into a book: Evil's First Breath. It's not his first book, but it is his first book about angel wars. About time, right?Check out Michael's work at evilsfirstbreath.com!This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show? Reach out to us at https://www.podmatch.com/member/tombarnardpodcast.

There are two things that rarely have happy endings: getting extremely drunk on a plane, and movies about dogs. Also having your house swallowed by a sinkhole, but that one kind of goes without saying.Topics:Drinking on planesNicolas Cage's house destroyed by giant sinkholeKristyn sees a secret screening of Heart of the BeastMovie dogs die a lotScientology is wacky

Art is a funny thing. Splash some paint on a canvas and it goes from $5 of fabric to $125,000,000 just like that. We'll never understand it. But at least we know enough not to offer $4,000 for a vacuum cleaner.Topics:Art piece vacuumNepali woman found alive after ten daysSage, the dunk tank masterKathryn's gluten free bakingMan duct taped to plane seatAndy's fecal weekend

The Children's Hospital rummage sale is back! September 12-13 at the Shoreview ice arena, you can find anything you want, get it for cheap, and support a worthy cause while you're at it. Then you can listen to our show and hear all about people killing each other. It's called yin and yang. Very sophisticated.Topics:Children's Hospital rummage saleLindsay Clancy mistrialShooting in Loring Park

In the olden days, we used to have to put tapes and discs into machines in order to watch movies. It was basically the middle ages. And speaking of the middle ages, you know what hasn't changed? The fact that wars are fought by sending a bunch of young men with weapons to kill each other. Will that change in the future? We hope so.Topics:Lammers meets Ray Erick15:17 to ParisVHS, DVDs, and other "obsolete" mediaThe GentlemenLionessSoldiers, drones, and war robots

Grocery stores throw out a lot of stuff. Sometimes it's perfectly good. And yet, the law says it's still trash, and you're not allowed to take it. The law may also soon say that if you make a movie in Hollywood, you get a tax credit. Maybe you can use it to buy food that wasn't in a dumpster.Topics:Potential Hollywood tax credit in the worksPets becoming influencersCorporate wasteDumpster divine

Have you ever been confused by a number? They've got periods, commas, dollar signs. It's madness. Still, there are some positions where you might expect competency in that specific skill.Topics:Remembering Roundhouse RodneyKathryn gets on the birthday trainGloria Steinem diesThe Barnards are all clonesMinneapolis Park Board co-chair can't read dollar amounts

Nicho is a host of the Fantasy Football Space Podcast, a writer for RotoBaller, and most importantly, Tony Price's stepson. That last part isn't a coincidence.You can check out Nicho's podcast at https://linktr.ee/FantasyFootballSpace!

We've got another no-show, which means it's time for our two favorite topics: baseball and learning disabilities. We're mostly interested in baseball because the Twins slaughtered the Tigers, and we're mostly interested in learning disabilities because that's what our guest was going to be on about.Topics:Twins beat Detroit by over ten points - twiceStalker with a mummy and Gacy's brain in his basementDyslexia in childrenSchool evaluations for neurodivergent kids

We're all mourning King Harald V, obviously. But we have to learn, as a species, to move past it. What better way than to play "Who have I heard of?" with the cast of Dancing With the Stars? That's right, it's officially out, which means we get to go down the list and wonder where we've heard that name before.Topics:King Harald V of Norway diesDWTS 35 castDave Mason

You might have heard us talk about Tom's "Sporty Spice" incident long ago. This week, we found it. Enjoy us enjoying our own content for a while, before we talk at length about sewage floods.Topics:The Twins slaughter DetroitTurtle Dove ice creamTom's Sporty Spice momentShakedown trailerTupac's killer finally convictedMessage Envy's sewage problem

Nobody likes it when a child goes missing. Luckily, they're starting to do something about that, apparently. At least in Florida, anyway. Not quite as tragic as a missing child but still unpleasant is worrying about what's for dinner. Is there one meal kit to rule them all? We discuss. We also remind our audience that if you want to make a 20% commission on all cash collected by advertisers you find for our show, you should contact us, because we're hiring.Topics:Trafficked children do in fact existOperation Statewide Shield is finding missing childrenWhich meal kits are the best?YouTube, and how to keep your kids away from it

You've probably heard that radio was a much wilder place back in the 80s and 90s. Pretty much every story you've heard is true. What you haven't heard is a news station that doesn't try to sway your opinion. Not unless you know Japanese, I suppose.Topics:Divisiveness in the newsThe history of Minnesota radioState Fair storiesDrug testing stories

Are you accustomed to luxury? You know, running water, a bed, that sort of thing? You may want to check out Dollyfest. It's sure to have all your 19th century needs met, at the very least. For those of you who are more "bag in a bucket" types, try dispersed camping. After all, what's indoor plumbing really done for anyone?Topics:Dispersed campingDollyfest in Nashville and LondonWhy Howard Stern is down to once a weekDisney influencers who live in Orlando

If you've ever felt helpless, like your age is holding you back, just think of Dale "Grey Beard" Sanders, who hiked nearly 2,200 miles at the age of 91 in under a year. No, your age is not holding you back. Your genetics on the other hand might be.Topics:Terry's cabin at the headwatersGrey Beard becomes the oldest person to hike the Appalachian trailThe Tilt-A-Whirl is 100 years oldRhode Island squid spillAlex goes dispersed camping

We couldn't find a guest for this show. At least, not until about ten minutes prior. Ephraim swooped in to save the day with very short notice. It's a good thing, too, because we had plenty to talk about. Podcasts, working with your family, south Florida, and even how ghosts and aliens fit into various religious sects all come up.You can listen to Ephraim's podcast at https://www.cometogether-podcast.com/!This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show? Reach out to us at https://www.podmatch.com/member/tombarnardpodcast.

The latest victim of the grim reaper's sprint is Peter Cullen, most famously the voice of Optimus Prime and Eeyore. Will this never end? We're not sure, which is why we give advice to aging celebrities on today's show. Definitely avoid drugs and ladders, at the very least.Topics:Kristyn takes a Thriller classPeter Cullen dies at 85The age of the celebrity is coming to an endMinibike crash in Brooklyn ParkThe ubiquity of TBIsDWTS cast spoilers

Today's show is a double header. First you get hairstyling and grooming tips, then we talk about Coyote vs. Acme for nearly a half an hour. It's a movie that apparently almost never got off the ground until some relatively unknown distribution company swooped in and bought the rights. According to Tim, it's a very good thing they did.Topics:Eyebrows and hairDogsCoyote vs. AcmeWhether Link should talk in the upcoming Zelda movie

Andy and Alex helm the podcast today, joined on mic by Sage and Fawn. The result? Mostly news, a bit of singing, and learning about a new book series.Topics:Cookies made from plasticKomatsu the catKhalid Sheikh Mohammed finally getting a trial 27 years laterI Survived booksAlex and Dan go see TotoYacht RockThriller

Dick moved from Winnipeg to Edina when he was 9, graduated high school there in 1987, spent some of his young adulthood listening to Tom, then jet setted across America on multiple radio stations for a while. He now lives in New Zealand where he writes a million books. Well, 21, but that's still basically a million.His latest book, The Facilite Con, has been reduced to 99 cents for a very limited time only - as in, probably a day or two. Check out his website, https://www.dickwybrow.com/, for more information!Topics:Growing up in MinnesotaThe radio businessWriting books for a living

Christine started modeling at 11. 30 years later, she started a long series of aggressive treatments for breast cancer. She later noticed that so many stories about breast cancer, whether fiction or otherwise, tend to end in tragedy. Things have come a long way, and Christine herself is proof. It's time to start telling the stories of triumph.You can find Christine's book, Walk Beside Me, as well as her other ventures at https://christinehandy.com/.This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show? Reach out to us at https://www.podmatch.com/member/tombarnardpodcast.

August 25th is a day that will go down in infamy. No, not because that's the day Zimbabwe joined the UN, although that's very important as well. We lost two beloved icons nearly simultaneously yesterday. Also Meta lost 17 billion dollars, although that's functionally nothing to them.Topics:Dolly Parton and Tim Curry diedMeta received a 17 billion dollar judgement against themTargeted ads on your phoneGroceries are expensiveEmily in Paris final season premiere date

We've all known picky eaters. Perhaps we are one ourselves. Not wanting to eat an "Oreo chicken burger" isn't so much being picky as self-preservation. But kids seem to be able to take it to another level.Topics:Keep your dogs away from blue-green algaeRocky Horror Picture Show traditionsPicky eatersKFC China has created a new abominationAustralian Guy goes to jail over a carnival game

Football season is upon us, which means Costaki is back. It also means news from Alaska and Greece. And jokes.
