The Tom Barnard Show

While the rest of us are busy being displaced by earthquakes and having seizures, Disney is making billions of dollars rehashing old stuff.  It almost seems unfair, but then Mickey Mouse tells you everything is okay.  Or maybe that's the radio-induced psychosis that Tom always talks about.  Hard to say.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you were a teenage boy in the 70s and/or 80s, you were approximately 90% likely to have a crush on Farrah Fawcett.  If you think those odds are high, get a load of this: running with the bulls is a 100% bad idea.  But you know what's a good idea?  Chris Jericho's Rock N' Wrestling Rager.  Assuming you like ragers, anyway.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Summer is only 3 months long, which makes it exactly as long as the movie Midsommar.  I bet they did that on purpose.  And speaking of long, The Walking Dead is still going, and apparently some people still watch it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If there's one thing humanity has always shared throughout history, it's the capacity for evil.  One such evil happened in 1919 in Amritsar.  Then another 100 years later, Anita wrote The Patient Assassin.  That's what they call the butterfly effect.  Maybe.

We're not usually too fond of humanity on this show.  Adam believes otherwise, and wrote a book on it.  Maybe we just need to read it.  Or maybe we need to balance our hormones.  There's a book for that too.  If anything our PCOS might clear up.  Yes, we all have it.  All of us.

If you're one of the proud few who actually pays taxes, you're paying for someone else to have something.  In many cases this is fine.  The question is where to draw that line.  Personally we draw it just after luxury movie theaters.  Why a silver screen when it could be gold?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know who loves the American justice system?  Basically nobody.  Especially not people like Massoud who've gone through it.  It's just another facet of the current climate of us versus them and winning at all costs.  Surely this is the decade they'll finally reform everything like they've been saying.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three movies about toys came out recently.  Somehow all three are spooky even though one is Toy Story.  It's also apparently the best movie ever made, so go see it.  It's certainly a better investment than spending $200 per person watching someone phone it in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 80s were a different time.  Car sales techniques were perhaps slightly less scrupulous and definitely less user friendly, Minnesota sports actually had promise, and a new technology called VHS allowed anyone with enough money to make their own home movies.  In retrospect, the last one may have been a mistake. Tom and Doug are joined by Ellie Swenson who started her career as a receptionist and rose through the ranks to become a dealership partner. She talks the challenges women face in a male dominated industry and the steps Walser is taking to knock down those barriers. Along the way we talk about why you shouldn't set a leased car on fire and report it stolen and we relive the 1987 Twins title drive and Ellie's part in what is arguably the worst video ever to come out of Paisley Park.

Frieda's back, and this time the topic is (informally) narcissists.  Two of them in particular.  One is great at football and getting away with murder.  The other we'll probably find some stuff about in 100 years when the documents are unclassified.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
