The Tom Barnard Show

Jeremy from Fresh Dry is back. As are two of his kids. And Alex's kids. And Mike Bryant. I must reiterate that this studio is not large.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You probably know Nik as the gearhead who's always working on classic motorcycles. Not the kind of guy you'd expect to get into an all electric self driving car. Well, he's into it like you wouldn't believe. Maybe the MRI turned him into a robot.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The studio build continues, and the end is in sight. The same cannot be said about Canada perpetually burning. Or about people seething about Trump. Or actors being sex pests. But at this point, we're really just focused on the studio.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The move is over and we're in our half-finished seventh studio. We probably could have spent the day finishing it, but then you wouldn't have anything to listen to for two weekdays in a row. And that's terrible.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jack was on our show roughly 2700 episodes ago. That'd be somewhere around 11 or 12 years. He was just a teenager back then, his spinal injury relatively new. Now he's all grown up and he's got some exciting new advancements in the world of not being quite as paralyzed as you used to be. And yes, brain implants do come up.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remember last time Kenny was on and we had a scheduling conflict, but it ended up going well? This time we have the opposite problem: a studio full of no-shows. Lucky for us there are enough emerald ash borers in the world to keep the conversation going. Unlucky for the trees, though.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever been shot? Not with a gun, specifically. Any sort of projectile will do. Despite being an ancient weapon, an arrow in the wrong place can still be just as bad news as a bullet. But at least the air is somewhat clear now, right? Won't be coughing as you're bleeding out after being ambushed by medieval highwaymen.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One day, Dave Bassitt decided to start wearing orange. Since then it's become a major thing. He's even written a book about it. If you can believe it, the book is called Orange.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sam Almond's middle name is Almond. His father's name is Almond, as is his grandfather's. And yet, we managed to go the whole episode without making a joke about his family being nuts. I'm proud of how far this show has come. What I'm not proud of is involuntarily breathing in a pack of cigarettes every time I walk to my car.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The 90s were a different time. The kids had mullets, the moms had perms, and the dads kind of did whatever. There were also a lot fewer drug overdoses. We're sure the two are related.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When you think scurvy, you probably think of pirates, right? Or if you're a little more lawful, just sailors in general? Turns out it's a real thing and it's making a comeback courtesy of bad diets. When your parents told you to eat your fruits and vegetables, what they were really telling you to do was to avoid Davey Jones' locker. And thanks to Fresh Dry, you can do it with a satisfying crunch.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's been another rash of random attacks across the country. Is it the heat? Perhaps it's the CTE? We may never know. But we do know that whenever your weather app tells you the storm of the century is coming, you should practice some healthy skepticism.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How many Air Bud movies are there? A handful, right? Maybe if you have really big hands. And next year there'll be another one, because we're in the golden age of nostalgia baiting. And speaking of nostalgia, remember when the Twins were good? Strangely, it seems that paying everyone tens of millions of dollars is not necessarily improving the game.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Who's on today's death roster? You'll have to listen to find out, but I will spoil it and say there's more than one. Plus, talk about Epstein and various kidnapping/murders. We like to keep Friday shows light and breezy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We've got two relatively major celebrity deaths in one day today, thus disproving the rule of threes by a sizeable margin. If you're going to get spiritual, now's the time. And not just because Seth believes we're on the cusp of a spiritual paradigm shift.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ozzy Osbourne has died, surprising basically no one. Although he was starting to get that Keith Richards "immortal despite it all" reputation. Oh, and by the way, no, Jimmy doesn't want to be the governor. Too much danger.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The hottest new craze is to put flavored syrup in soda. If you think that sounds a little much, you're not alone. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do in Mormon country. Also, here's your PSA about riptides: swim parallel to the shore, not toward it. You can't beat the riptide, but you can escape it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tom and Kathryn are back from their visit to wherever giants come from, and they brought photographic evidence. First Cornwall, now this. They certainly lead interesting lives. And unlike professional athletes, they don't have to stop after a few years because their knees explode.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Stephen Colbert is out, as you may have heard. You know who's not out? Everyone in the world, including a pack of dogs. I speak of course about our studio. Six voices, three dogs, and two kids out in the lobby. Probably some mice in the walls too for good measure.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Connie Francis died recently at the age of 81. But that's not the only Francis we're missing today. Jimmy was on the calendar, but alas, his life is so fancy free that he thought today was Friday. Mike Bryant made up for it with his knowledge of legal formulas though. Do you know how to calculate damages? We sure don't.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
