The Tom Barnard Show

(Part 2)DWTS - that's Dancing With The Stars for those of you out of the loop - has been going for a very long time. Over twenty years, in fact. Proving that it's never too late to start, Kathryn has decided to start watching it this week. Speaking of which, if you've never watched the Rankin Bass Christmas specials, don't let the fact that they're a million years old deter you.Topics:Kathryn and Alex watch Dancing With The StarsCornell controversyParamount/WB mergerKristyn on the red carpet for The AnimalsRankin Bass Christmas specials

(Part 1)Have you ever been in a situation where you could either say "hey Siri" and have your phone respond, or die a gruesome death? At least one person has.Topics:Kaohly Her is a lunaticSage is the future running championDog tries to play with home invaderOregon man uses earbuds to save life3 year old brings gun to daycareAndy blows baking soda in Alex's face

(Part 4)The 25th anniversary of 9/11 is over, but interest in the story never dies. Especially because, apparently, there is a functionally infinite number of them. Jeffrey compiled a portion of this infinity into a book.You can buy Ash and Honor: The Untold 368 Minutes of 9/11 at https://www.amazon.com/Ash-Honor-Untold-368-Minutes-ebook/dp/B0G76Y3NZZ!

(Part 3)Today's episode piques Alex's interest: Russell has spent over 20 years researching dyslexia and helping others overcome theirs, and Fawn is dyslexic. What a coincidence.You can find more about Russell's methods at https://dyslexiaclasses.com/!This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show? Sign up for PodMatch at https://www.joinpodmatch.com/completedisaster and get in touch!

(Part 2)Did you know that Angie Dickinson is still alive? She's 95 as of a few hours ago. As a 95 year old, she remembers when kids didn't have smartphones. That's not why we got onto the latter topic. To be honest, I don't even remember why.You can help revive Bill's Instagram page at https://www.instagram.com/bill_mendieta!Topics:Angie Dickinson turns 95Dennis Haskins, Principal Belding in Saved by the Bell, dies at 75Chad Lowe's daughter Fiona dies from suicide at 13No Child Left Behind has been a disasterShould kids have tech?

(Part 1)Hey, it's a valid question. Six protein shakes a day is going to do something to your digestive system, and Kroger isn't open 24/7. There's always the battering ram method, but then you go to jail, and the toilets there are out in the open.Topics:Texas man rams Kroger with carIn Korea, Jesus looks KoreanDid Pasqual Piñón have two heads?Toshisuke Kanazawa, 90 year old bodybuilder

(Part 4)Costaki is a comedian and a football fan. The combination of these two basically defines his career. That's why today, we make sure to talk a bit about both. We've always liked comedy, and we've also liked football ever since the Vikings went 3 and 0. But, can they keep our favor?

(Part 3)Jerry has been a part of the show almost as long as we have. He's famous for bringing in various enormous quantities of food. Ribs, mostly. Today it's pumpkin bread. He also brought his experience with New Hope Cinema Grill and being around comedians for half his life.Also, did you know his name isn't actually Jerry?

(Part 2)Alex saw The Golden Ticket. Apparently they made some questionable choices with this one. Will it improve? Or will it end up like MTV: merely a reminder of the good times?Topics:Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy BottomToy Story 5Willy Wonka's The Golden TicketThe BreadwinnerMTV VMAsMadonna's fillerFunny Money (Dane Cook documentary)

(Part 1)Today, we start the show with sports, not news. Unless you count some lunatic smearing someone else's blood on his face as news. It's not really sports, even if it happened during a football game.

(Part 4)Speaking of that time of year, Crash and Burn has been going for fifteen years, so it should really count as an annual tradition at this point. After wrestling with tech problems for a while, Tim joins us to remind everyone to be at Acme Tuesday through Saturday. That's right, you have to be there every day or it doesn't count.

(Part 3)The only thing you really need for a 10/10 film is a dog. Especially a heroic dog. And especially a heroic dog who doesn't die at the end. We can't say whether or not the dog in Heart of the Beast makes it to the credits, but here's hoping.Topics:Packers lose to the FalconsNicolas Cage as John MaddenHeart of the BeastLionessToy Story 5 on streamingMobland

(Part 2)It's 9/25. Get it? Nine two five? You know, like the thing. Of course in most countries it'll never be 925, which is why our system is superior. Until they invent a 25th month, anyway.Topics:Dolly Parton Day, and her final songBono sucksMassive federal tax cut for filming in America

(Part 1)It's that time of year again. Time to eat salmon until you gain 200 pounds, then sleep for 6 months. If you're a bear, that is. I cannot condone that behavior from a human, even if I do understand it. What I don't understand is how someone would have the patience to make an entire scale model of NYC.Topics:Water treatment woesThe Catman - no, not that oneJoe Macken makes scale model of New York CityFat bear weekTaylor Sheridan gets political

Christopher Warden joins us from Embody Health and Performance, where Tom's been getting red light therapy. Shortly thereafter, Tony Price joins from the Gold Star Ride Foundation. Tom has not been actively involved in that one. Can't get him on a motorcycle.Embody's website is https://liveembody.com/, so check them out if you're interested in red light therapy, physical therapy, or any of their other services!You can check out https://www.goldstarride.org/ to see where Tony's been, what families he's met, or to donate to his cause!

Do you know how many words of a song you're allowed to write in a book? Matthew does. It's not as many as you'd think. It's still more than the number of Jews allowed at the Protestant club. Or Protestants at the Catholic club. Maybe things have changed in that regard, though.You can check out Matthew's book, The Chestnut Tree, at https://www.mathewtekulsky.com/!This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show? Sign up for PodMatch at https://www.joinpodmatch.com/completedisaster and get in touch!

Lizzie Borden. The Pickwick triplets. JonBenet Ramsey. Today's all about murderers, murderees, fictional squadrons of murderous children, and other such things. Things like Willy Wonka. He is suspected to have killed some kids, though it's never been proven.Topics:Lizzie Borden on MonsterNicole Richie is not Lionel's biological daughterWilly Wonka's Golden TicketJonBenet RamseyYou Can See Everything Elizabeth Holmes documentaryBrothers

Everyone knows someone who is, or at least was, into Pokemon cards. Some of us even know people who get way too into it and start scalping cards. But do you know anyone who stalked someone to do it? Someone out there does.Topics:Kathryn's Sonos speakerGuy tracks Pokemon card deliveries with GPS bug6 month old with a BAC of .383Last Ditch attempts mask optional night"26 cent" coin sells at auction

Today, we learn what sports betting odds mean. You see, the bigger numbers are worse. Or better, if you win. Which you won't. There's a reason the people you bet against have so much money. Still, 1000 to 1 sounds pretty good, unless you're the Titans.Topics:Sports bettingCostaki's Falcons disappointmentMadden gamesEvery night football

Every generation has its crap that teenagers spray on themselves to smell better. Or at least, what they think is better. In the days of yore it was Hai Karate. Then it was Axe. What is it today? We don't know, because we still smell like propellant and chemicals from some stuff we sprayed on 20 years ago.Topics:Perfumes past and presentNFL playersThe Conclave

Apparently cigarettes and THC are cool again, because everything is cyclical, including addictions. Great news for fans of 1960s vices. Also great news for people who want to do a lot of coke in about ten years.Topics:Cindy Crawford's son Presley Gerber dies in rehabCigarettes and the smoking thereofScented candles and detergents

Some people hear about a 70 mile bike ride and think "sounds like a challenge worth taking". Personally, I do not think that, but some do. Those are the people who raise thousands for Alzheimer's research and support. As for the rest of us, we're content to donate.Topics:Dan rides 70 miles for Alzheimer's1940s WDGY clipGordon Ramsay doing Restaurant Rescue in MinnesotaCarrot Top's attempted suicideMeryl Streep as Aslan

(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.

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
