The Tom Barnard Show

Tevin got a new puppy, which means we all got a new puppy, at least for one day.  It also means that we talk mostly about what's being chewed on and/or barked at.  Even more than for a podcast that almost always has at least one dog in studio, I mean.  We also talk movies and football.  Not much positivity there.  Focus on the dog.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you know that Dee loves Christmas?  It's true.  He'll tell you he's its number one fan.  Years ago, he wrote a Christmas song just for his wife with no intention of releasing it.  That's dedication.  This year it's finally seeing the light of day, recorded by Dee and Lzzy Hale, when it's needed the most.  You can't see your family, but you can hear a Sister.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do you know when your advertising is effective? When someone flies in from New Mexico to buy a car. We are joined by long time KQ and Podcast listener Charlie 'n Albuquerque. Turns out he and Tom likely crossed paths in the record business in the early 70's.  Some great stories for the last show of the year. We will return on January 7th. Here's to hoping for a better year. Happy Holidays to one and all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The modern world is increasingly making us want to move to a remote farm in Lincolnshire.  Half because nobody can bother us, half because Orson made it sound so nice.  In some takes, anyway.  Also, lower odds of rogue AI rampaging through your backyard one day.  Still some odds.  Just lower.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you want to see both sides of society's coin, look no further than any city in the world.  One street is nothing but homeless people strung out on heroin, and on the other you can pick up thousands of dollars worth of furniture on the curb because it's not worth their time donating it.  Despite this, most people would agree that it's still better than being a teenager.  There's something uniquely awful about the transition from childhood to adulthood.  For a great example, see Antarctica - the movie, not the continent - starring Chloë.  Available everywhere except theaters, because it's 2020.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every so often, a group comes around that impacts the world so profoundly that they live well beyond their mortal lives.  The Rat Pack was one such a group.  Film, music, stage, and more.  They had it all locked down.  Now Richard has them locked down - in book form.  Celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Pack by going back to the past to the golden age of live entertainment.

Everyone's gone.  The streets are empty.  Businesses are closed.  No, it's not COVID.  It's urban blight.  Remember that?  It's coming back in a big way.  Apparently something about a pandemic gets people reconsidering the benefits of high population density.  It also gets people buying and then talking about pets.  Present company definitely not excluded.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Death is scary.  It's much scarier when it comes in the form of a lunatic who kills people for pleasure.  Or is it scarier when it's a virus with unknown lethality and contagiousness?  By the numbers, it's the latter, but there's something about serial killers that really gets people worrying.

Across the world, there is exactly one universal truth: children are gross and will eat anything.  Why, we don't know.  We also don't know why it's so hard for some people to drive correctly.  It's two pedals and a wheel.  Then again, football isn't the most complex thing in the world and most players still can't be trusted to do it right for a million dollars.  Maybe if we pay them more they'll play better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you think Burt Ward and Gentle Giants, you probably think it's an episode of Batman you've never seen.  Not so.  It does involve rescuing the innocent though; Burt and his wife have rescued over 15,000 animals, mostly dogs, and in the process they discovered a food that makes animals live forever.  Well, not forever, but 30 is pretty close by dog standards.

Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Mark Meier and Bill Dehkes, founders of the Face It Foundation. They started the foundation over 10 years ago because of battles with depression. We talk about how the issue disproportionately effects men in their 40s and 50s. Despite the somber topic, it's a very interesting episode and a must listen if you or someone close to you is suffering with this terrible disease. www.faceitfoundation.orgSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do people join cults?  Turns out, we actually have a pretty good idea.  Acceptance, lack of identity, a promise of a better life.  It's obvious when you think about it.  That doesn't mean we have any real means to stop it from happening.  Kind of like how every musician ever ends up a complete wreck.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bizarre new ways to make money pop up every day.  Unboxing, ASMR, Instagram influencing, reaction videos.  It's all inferior to the king of media: podcasts.  And if podcasts are king, that would make streaming the queen.  The queen's gambit, as it were.  This is doubly true after a year where theaters were forcibly shut down by government order, leaving them in an even worse spot than they started in.  Progress, or tragedy?  It all depends on your point of view.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's the best way to listen to music?  A vinyl record going through a vacuum tube.  Obviously.  The second best way is Spotify, even though it's the polar opposite of the first way.  It's funny how trends work.  You know what's not funny?  Bad teachers.  They're out there.  You've had them.  We have too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The gang's all here.  Plus like four more people.  You definitely wouldn't be wrong to say that there was some spirited discussion in this segment, mostly about whether depressing things can be entertainment.  And speaking of depressing things, movie theaters have been shut down for eight months straight in much of the country, and in the rest it hasn't been much better.  If you're nostalgic for the days of popcorn, soda, and a movie, the best you can do is outdoor theaters, which are making a comeback nobody would have seen coming a year ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's your reaction to the phrase "let's eat some plants"?  Revulsion?  Excitement?  Perhaps confusion?  It's all about attitude, and maybe a little about your cooking ability.  Plants can be pretty gross.  They can also be pretty good.  Learn how to make them, then eat them.  Whether or not they're a side for a steak is up to you.

The age of discovery has begun once more.  Just today we discovered a new creature in the forests of Pennsylvania.  We also discovered that some guy named Hitler was, quote, "a stinker".  Strong language, we know, but we will not be censored.  Our last discovery of the day was that all football is horrible, though we suspect that we may not be the first people to unearth such information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's with all the hate?  It's a question that Abigail, along with pretty much everyone else on earth, seeks to answer.  Unlike everyone else, Abigail actually did some research.  Enough to write a book about it.  Her next book may or may not involve the perils of attempting to cut down trees without experience.
