The Tom Barnard Show

Since the dawn of time, life has been trying to kill other life.  It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the first thing that probably happened in the primordial ooze was lifeform #1 killing lifeform #2.  Since then, little has changed.  We've got war.  Lots of war.  Vietnam was particularly bad.  Even when we're not at war, there's still killing going on, as evidenced by the fact that bodyguards like Evy are so ubiquitous wherever a famous person goes.  It's a topic too complex to cover in the description for an episode of a podcast, so watch his movie and read her book instead.

It is currently illegal, or illegal-adjacent, to go to a movie theater in many states.  So what are you to do if you want to see a movie?  Well, you could always stream it.  That or go to a drive-in.  They're perfect.  Nobody can cough on you when you're in your car.  You can lock all your doors.  It's the only way to live.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How about those politicians?  No, not those politicians.  Think smaller.  Because even though city governments don't have the power of the federal government, they can still be extremely annoying.  Hence the bottle of vodka a day.  Disclaimer: please don't drink an entire bottle of vodka in one day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom and Doug are joined by Walser's SVP of Minnesota Operations, Charlie Swenson. The show starts out with Charlie talking about some incredibly bad decisions made by teen age boys, learning how to drive a Semi at 90 miles per hour, at night, while his dad takes a nap and growing up in Robbinsdale. Along the way we discuss 'Walser to You' and how a customer-centric business model has allowed some success in these most difficult of times.

Is your computer broken?  Is your book Broken?  Only one of those is a good thing.  For context, Don wrote a book called Broken.  That might clear things up.  No, it's not about a broken computer.  We've already got that topic covered on this show.

Leave it to a Greek to still be gassing on about the Odyssey 2700 years after it came out.  It's like Harry Potter fans but even worse.  You can't be too surprised though; this is probably the single best time in our lives to read epic poetry.  And you won't even make Jeff Bezos richer by doing it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time to become a mailman.  Wait, sorry.  It's time to become a man, not just a male.  If that statement confuses you, perhaps you should read Male vs. Man, Dondré's new book.  Male is bad, man is good.  The fact that we describe animals as "male" but only humans can be a "man" is perhaps related.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've probably heard of the Hubble Telescope.  It's pretty big.  Literally.  It's also pretty old.  Do you have a single piece of technology in your house that you regularly use that's even close to 30?  Probably not.  And yet, the Hubble remains in constant demand.  Much like the constant demand for fear driven by an increasingly insolvent media.  Mark's here to tell you how to ignore all that garbage.  If he could ignore being shot at as a SEAL for 20 years, you can ignore the TV telling you that you're going to die unless you do what they tell you.  I believe in you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remember the good old days when you were more likely than not to get shredded by an anti-air battery and die in a fireball?  That might be an exaggeration, but when do we as a species not exaggerate?  Never, that's when.  Still, you may have died in a fireball, which is something almost nobody in the modern day has to worry about.  So think positive.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One thing about being stuck at home with nothing to do but watch movie after movie is that eventually, you run out of good movies.  1917 was apparently the last good one.  Much like the play, there's a small regiment of people out there who apparently like Cats.  Unlike the play, you can't coast for 40 years on a handful of lunatics once you make the leap to the big screen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Britain, Britain, Britain.  Over here in America, it's long had a storied reputation for its humor.  Or should I say humour?  From Monty Python to The IT Crowd, it's been firmly entrenched in our mainstream, if erratically.  The next contender for the throne is Belgravia, starring Tamsin Greig, known for her role on this show.  Also other shows, but in our opinion this one is the most important.  Belgravia is from the same mind as Downton Abbey, which did pretty well we hear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pictured: Not Dr. Huber.  His name is John though.  To be specific, John Prine, legendary musician, is yet another victim of COVID-19.  Or is he?  Having a bunch of his lungs carved out due to cancer may be the real culprit.  And speaking of COVID-19, let's stop speaking of COVID-19.  At least for a little bit.  There's plenty of news out there to read.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boxing and chemistry generally don't go together.  There are rules that say boxers cannot use chemical weapons.  Even baking soda volcanoes are strictly forbidden.  Today we bridge that gap, if only for an hour.  Kate is specifically a children-oriented chemist and Ulysses is pushing 40 yet still wins nearly every match, so there's a life path for you kids out there.  First chemistry, then boxing.  Then radio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone's stuck inside, which means nobody's going to the movies.  Bad time to be a filmmaker.  Or is it?  We live in the future, where you can watch anything from anywhere at any time.  Some might say it's a little too convenient.  Still, it's better than watching the news.  Usually.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
