The Tom Barnard Show

Remember The Hill? Remember that guy from The Hill? Apparently he's running for mayor of LA now. Go figure.

A long time ago, a movie came out called The Blair Witch Project. That's not totally relevant, except for the fact that it made hundreds of millions off a small budget. There's a new movie out called Obsession and it's shaping up to be the latest low budget horror movie to make bank. I guess after years of movies with budgets to rival the GDP of a large city, audiences are looking for something different.Topics:Kyle Busch dies during a training exerciseColbert has his final showMakeup/wardrobe inconsistencies in moviesHockey fightsGilbert GottfriendMandalorian and GroguObsessionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remember Ed Sullivan? Statistically, you probably don't. The man has been dead for 50 years. But you've heard of him. That used to be the power of talk shows. If we're still talking about any of the current hosts fifty years from now, I'll be shocked. You know what we'll definitely be talking about? Hangnails.

The Moderate Majority party is back and they need signatures. If you're interested, they'll tell you what they're about and what the signatures are for.

Prebiotic soda. It's all the rage. Even Pepsi has one. And as gross as it sounds, apparently it's pretty good. So from our perspective, there are two primary ways to make a lot of money: sell prebiotic soda, or join congress. How hard could it be?Topics:True Don BleuForgetting interviewsJames Bond coming backCelebrities being approached on the streetPelosi trackerPresidential net worthsEthan got sick againCoyotesPrebiotic sodaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The beginning of the show is a bit of a mess. That's what happens when the producer is stuck in traffic for an hour and a half. There's a silver lining, though. They say that no matter how long you live, you always want more time. But if you sit in stop and go traffic, time will stretch out for eons. Maybe the secret to eternal life is just making it feel like an eternity.Topics:Traffic on highway 12Devil Wears Prada 2 blew out Mortal Kombat 2In The GreyTim saw Marty, Life is ShortLoss of loved onesTim's dreamSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

All good things must come to an end, and Journey has been going since the 70s. That's not to say Jonathan is done working: he's got a solo career as a Christian artist and, apparently, plans on becoming a minister. He's also concerned about the future of war robots, so he may have a career as a John Connor type as well.

Conan O'Brien is back to host the Oscars in 2027, which reminds us: talk shows kind of suck. Petco's customer service could also use a bit of tweaking. But you know what doesn't suck? Podcasting.

Anyone who's ever been anything approaching famous will tell you - sometimes fame isn't great. People will approach you during dinner, chase you down into an elevator, and other fun ways to interrupt your day. You also, inevitably, end up getting a cult of lunatics who want you dead. Why?

Kevin Hart got roasted. Apparently it was pretty cutthroat. That's not our thing, but roasts have been around for long enough that clearly they have an audience. Let's ask Randy Lubas, hosting Loons on the Lake at Crooners for the fourth year. He's a comedian, therefore he is a comedy expert. By the way, he's giving away tickets.

There's a hot new sport sweeping the nation, and once again it's named after a food. It's banana ball, and it's basically baseball but weird. Kind of like how pickleball is tennis but weird. You know what's not weird? Sequels to ancient franchises. Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mortal Kombat 2 are making waves at the box office. There's never been a better time to be over the age of 30.

Rats. They've got a terrible reputation. Maybe they deserve it. Between eating your pizza and giving you Hantavirus, they're real troublemakers.

Cynthia Schumacher is 97 years old and has been writing poetry since high school. For those less math-minded among you, that adds up to a very long time. She's still at it, too, having just put out a book of short stories called Prose Pizza. Where's Tom, you ask? Probably performing amateur dentistry on himself.Topics:Tom's broken toothBlake Lively vs Justin Baldoni resolutionNo more alcohol on Delta flights under 350 milesHantavirus cruiseSanitary travelingTed Turner diesAI data centersHasselhoff vs. the burgerCynthia SchumacherTeaching Hamlet to 9th gradersFlorida in the early 20th centuryColin defends EthanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Met Gala happened again, and apparently it was a less ostentatious affair this year. That doesn't mean it was free of dumb stuff. Far from it. It does mean that we spend more time talking about festering skin lesions than what the celebrities were wearing.

Spoiler alert if you care about Song Sung Blue. If not, perhaps you care about Michael? A lot of people seem to. Personally I think it sounds like a bit of a downer.

Kristyn's talking about it. Tim's talking about it. Even Craig Gass is interested once he learned who's in it. We're talking about Devil Wears Prada 2, a movie about how magazines and newspapers are floundering.

Our 3000th episode is a celebration not just of the show, but the people who've been part of it. Whether they were only there for a while or have been here the whole time, we've got more people on the show today than we could possibly fit into the studio at any given time. We still remember when we made a big deal about 500.

After nearly 14 years as a podcast regular, Kristyn finally meets us in person for the first time. She'll be there for episode 3000 as well, but it felt kind of dumb to have her fly all the way here for a 20 minute segment on a special, so she gets a bonus episode. She's here for the whole time, too. Also with us are Ralph, all the way from LA, and Dave. We're certainly not having any shortage of well-wishes today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There are certain movies they really shouldn't show on a plane. Nudity is, you'd think, a given. Marley and Me is also a given, but for a very different reason. Nobody wants a stuffy nose while at 10,000 feet. How about Michael?

Tom and Kathryn are gone. That means today's show is just Andy and Kristyn, right? Nope, Kristyn is gone too. Good thing she's got a husband who's no stranger to a microphone. It's also a good thing that Bob and Mike Bryant were there, because Raphael is a sports oddsmaker - among other things. Have you ever bet on how many people John Wick would kill?

What's it like to be a celebrity? Lots of money. Not a lot of peace. Everyone knowing you can be, ironically, very isolating. But one thing unites us all: we all get old.

Patrick Muldoon and Bob from Bob and Tom are dead. Madonna doesn't even get applause anymore. Is the old world fading away? It seems so.

Top Gun, Star Wars, and Toy Story continue to chug along. But even older than that is The Mummy. The first one was in 1932, and we're still being chased by it.

Disney is laying everyone off, TMZ is in the blackmail business, and voiceovers are all AI. Is anything okay in the entertainment industry? Yes: classic rock.

Tom and Kathryn were at Mar-a-Lago last night. What's it like in there? Gaudy? Yes, gaudy. We also have Ben Simon, owner of Shed and Fence on.
