The Tom Barnard Show

Have you heard Tom talk about how much he hates political correctness before?  Probably not, right?  Well it's not Frieda's favorite thing either.  And speaking of not liking things, many Vietnam vets didn't love the experience of being shot at in a foreign jungle.  No word on Stephen's attitude toward dengue fever, but it's probably not positive.

We tried our best to tie Myq's presence in with another coincidence, but unfortunately he's a week early for Jerusalem Day and a day late for Lag BaOmer.  Isn't that always the way?  Stay tuned to see what we have in store for next week's Ascension of Jesus Day, whatever that is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
