The Tom Barnard Show

Despite the fact that the Lion King is such a huge deal, most of us haven't seen it.  Yet.  The good news is Jim Slater is in studio courtesy of the Smile Network to help bide our time and chastise Tevin some more for the heresy of not liking The Beatles.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Youtube celebrities ourselves - some of our videos reach a staggering 1,000 views - we're always looking for new talent to uplift.  In a few years you'll be talking about Joe's talents for chugging cold beverages and whispering, often at the same time.  And yes, those are considered talents on Youtube.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Depending on who you ask, comedy is either spiraling into a dark age or coming out of a dark age.  Either way, it's not in a great place.  Institutions like UC Berkley policing as much speech as they can probably have more than a little to do with that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adrian, our new regular, is back and he's at the Pourhouse.  Go see him or he'll be at the poorhouse.  If you do go and befriend him, he might come to yourhouse.  And as for the last kind of house that rhymes with "pour", we have no comment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're a strictly dry studio (today), which is perfect because Mike's latest venture is too.  Dry Bar Comedy is in Utah, a state renowned for its low alcoholism rates and lack of turkeys who want you dead.  It's the opposite of Minnesota in a lot of ways.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kathy and Cristina are on a show about overbearing mothers.  Instead of talking about that, we talk about how great it is when mothers are super involved.  Hmm.  We're also very hungry, a fact made much worse by the topic of Food Truck Nation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

West Palm Beach has begun using sharks to chase off the homeless.  Baby sharks.  In music form.  Also tacos.  Next up: disgusting soda?  There's certainly no shortage of that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, and people are still talking about it.  It was kind of a big deal.  In 50 years we might be talking about missions to Mars or beyond.  Given that a high end smartphone is over a hundred million times more powerful than the room-sized Apollo computers, you'd think going to space would be a bit easier than it used to be.

Before Elon Musk, there was Gianni Versace.  Before him, there was Commodore Cappy.  Alas, Cappy has largely faded into obscurity, much like society's desire to do anything but see the absolute lowest form of entertainment regardless of the risk to their own lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Move over Bigfoot, there's a new half bear half gorilla thing in town.  Technically it's more like 100+ years old, but whatever.  And speaking of what may or may not be monsters and may or may not have killed people, The Dead Files aims to determine whether places are haunted or not.  Sounds like a pretty good match to us.

Animal husbandry is hard.  Andy acknowledges that.  It's why his act is specifically formulated for people who just got done inseminating farm animals.  But not that kind of inseminating.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's news, in increasing order of grossness: Kanye West made some very ugly shoes, Lake Minnetonka has become a diseased cess pit, and Jeffrey Epstein is most likely a serial child rapist.  That one represents a fairly large increase compared to the Lake Minnetonka story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom and Kathryn are back, so of course the topic on everyone's mind is Tom's fashion sense.  Unable to dwell on that for very long, we then moved onto what seems like an epidemic of child sex trafficking, because coming home from a vacation makes you seek out unhappiness apparently.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
