The Tom Barnard Show

Dave's been on the hunt for ghosts, and lucky for him he found a few.  You can't eat a ghost like a deer, so instead you take video footage of them and put that on TV.  Although, has anyone tried eating a ghost?  It could be good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Numismatists rejoice; the world's largest coin hoard has been discovered in Tom and Kathryn's closet.  Some of them might even be worth a couple cents more than face value.  Think of the profits!  And then give those profits to the homeless apparently.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Socialism.  It sounds great, and honestly probably would work better than anything else if humans didn't instantly turn corrupt when given a modicum of power.  That's kind of like saying it would be nice if people didn't have to sleep, though.  It's probably not gonna happen.  We'll let you know when we find an economic system that works when accounting for the human condition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every field has its heroes.  Comedy has Chris Farley.  Wrestling has Jesse Ventura.  Governing also has Jesse Ventura.  Non-comic acting, again, Jesse Ventura.  It's no wonder Tom has nothing but good things to say about that guy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan is gay, but more importantly he also continues the tradition of people on the show with very short hair.  Probably because it makes him aerodynamic.  His book is about the former though. I know, I'm sure you were all hoping to hear more about his hair, but we promise it's just as good.  Possibly even better.

It's Monday, which means everyone is upset about stupid things and they're running to Twitter to tell you about it.  There is one good thing: unlimited pumice will soon be ours.  A pumice stone is a whole dollar, so the hard times are nearly over.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jesus said to turn the other cheek when someone attacks you.  He never said to allow people not to shower properly.  It's true that showers didn't exist at the time, but if they had he'd be pro-shower.  He'd also be anti-segway.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TJ is an actor, and he is also a philosopher.  We touch upon the nature of fame, religiosity, the media, and how crappy a lot of radio hosts are.  He also gave us hot sauce.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Car Selling Secrets 22 is here, this time disguised as an episode of The Family.  The entire literal family already drives Walser cars, so why not adopt their podcast too? Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Alex Davis. Alex recently accepted a sales position at Walser's Porsche dealership in Wichita. He's incredibly passionate about cars in general and Porsche in particular. Tom has recently fallen in love with Gen Z and young Millenials as he thinks they will save the country. Alex gives him every reason to think he's correct. We also talk about the current anti-auto bias in Minneapolis and Trump's puzzling tweet to 'Politically Correct Automotive Executives." www.walser.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Speaking of the rich and famous, it doesn't get much more of either than Manhattan.  More specifically, the Plaza Hotel.  Donald Trump once lost millions of dollars on purpose just so he could say he owned it.  That says a lot about both entities.

Football season is almost back, which means the return of Quick Snaps, with assistance/hindrance from Frank.  It also means people who don't watch football are going to have that much harder of a time finding something they like.  Apparently The Boys is great, depending on how evil you think Amazon is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you get down to it, there are two kinds of entertainment.  One is designed to make you happy, the other is designed to make you unhappy.  Think about it: does seeing people chased and killed by a monster make you happy?  No.  Does reading about an old lady dying make you happy?  No.  Comedy does make you happy, so let Frank and Costaki wash away the negativity that stems from hearing Bruce Springsteen sing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're so pro-family that we even changed our name to it.  Joe is also pro-family, which seems to be an Irish thing.  Upward mobility also seems to be an Irish thing, since it seems like they all grew up lower middle class and now have money.  Is that what they call luck of the Irish?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
