The Tom Barnard Show

Kathy Barth is the Zone Manager for Mazda NA, which means she's privy to technology humankind is not yet meant to possess.  At least, that's what it sounds like.  She wouldn't tell us any of her top secret information.  We did learn what deleting emissions means, which is something nobody in the room had ever heard of.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to living in a megalopolis.  One is that it's convenient and there's a lot to do.  The other is that it's not worth the murder and air that's corrosive to your corneas.  Both arguments have their merits.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

War is still hell.  There have been no changes on that front in the past hour.  Jeff experienced pretty much the worst of it save losing a limb and he came out the other side, but not everyone does.  And not everyone who doesn't make it dies on the field.

It's that time of year again.  No, not Christmas.  More like the opposite.  Dana and Wes are pretty familiar with the issues at hand behind 9/11 and the Middle East, given they spent some time there getting shot at by ISIS.

Fake news isn't new.  Ongoing, yes, but not new.  Take Shakespeare for example.  We don't even know his real identity for certain because people were politically motivated to lie about him as far back as the 16h century.  That's why it's easier to just read books about motherhood.  It's very easy to tell whether or not you're a mother.

Cities.  They're basically big communities, right?  Wrong.  They are the opposite.  Which is a shame, because people who've lived in actual communities tend to speak highly of them.  On the other hand, the same can be said for pretty much every British TV show ever made, and some of us just don't get it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Talking about how humans smell is usually - almost always - a gross conversation.  Well, Lume is a deodorant company, so it's inevitable.  And if we're gonna go half gross, why not go all the way?  Take a whore's bath, ausfahrt your bathroom, and rest your weenus for an hour or two.

Foreign and unusual names are hard to pronounce.  That's a given.  But nobody ever thinks about the other side: names that are hard to understand.  Which is all of them.  It's BARnard, not BERnard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every so often, humanity goes from not wanting to be defined by a label to insisting that you label them and back again.  We're currently in the label phase, which is generally not a great thing.  It's great for marketers though, since what you watch seems to depend almost entirely on your race and gender.  Including Lev, because apparently his audience is mostly women.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We were this close to creating our own Tom Barnard Show car, but the name Every Joy Pop Turbo was taken so we gave up.  Plus in the future they're all going to be called the Car 6 or the Car 15 because nobody cares what model of car picks them up and drops them off automatically. A free-wheeling show where we talk about Nissan's new autonomous golf balls, the future of rideshare, why Mary Barra has to meet President Trump in the oval office to explain global auto production and the all-time worst names for automobiles. We also celebrate Alex (from Mazda) setting an all time, all Walser record with 70 sales in one month. www.walser.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crypticon is back, and despite its name it's not about cryptids.  You know how you can tell?  Because Pinhead is there, and we already know he exists.  He's on the show.  Also we like to solve LeMarchand Boxes.  It helps keep the mind young.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The easiest way to become famous is to be conspicuous in some way.  You think Christopher Walken actually talks like that at home?  Well Craig is conspicuous for real and he's proud of it, possibly because he made it in LA.  Success tends to make people proud.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

America really loves giving money to other countries, then complaining that we don't have enough money.  It's part of a long-standing tradition of doing whatever you want and then being upset when there are consequences, going all the way back to whenever the first animal capable of being upset evolved.  We're nothing if not traditional.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've reached a point in society where almost everyone is "on stage" at all times, whether that stage be literal or virtual.  As such, people die in the limelight a lot more than you'd think.  That is, unless you've read Jeff's book.  Sometimes people are even on TV without wanting to be, such as when Dog's Most Wanted rolls into town and puts them in prison.

Linda shaves the binders and rakes the zoomies.  Or whatever.  She does hot rod stuff.  And given that Cassie is Linda from an alternate timeline, the two have a lot in common.  We've already missed this year's Minnesota Street Rod Back to the 50s event, but it's only 42 weeks to the next one, so put it on your calendar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
