The Tom Barnard Show

Bob can make some noise. Is it any wonder his wife of decades can rise to the occasion? This is especially true when a certain someone can't get his camera looking as nice and clean as Mary's. Also on the docket, they managed to do a whole Oscars show without bringing up Trump once. A good omen? We sure hope so. I guess we'll find out in a year. Learn more about your ad choices.

The thing about being a radio legend (Paul's words, not ours) is if you have bad taste in movies, you're still fair game. Although to Tom's credit, at least he knows who Gene Hackman is. The same cannot be said for everyone in studio. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dustin is a Republican who's very active on X. Mike Bryant is a Democrat who's very active on our show. Put them together and what do you get? Civil discourse. Yes, it's still possible.

No, we haven't been going for 50 years. Not quite. But The Price is Right has, and Drew Carey has been on it for almost 20, if you can believe that. Also hard to believe: the amount of sugar in SpaghettiOs. Learn more about your ad choices.

How often do you wish society would just go back to the old days before everyone was constantly on their phone? Well you're in luck, because we have the perfect solution. Simply go to prison. There isn't a smartphone to be seen behind those walls. And you don't even really have to commit a real crime to get there. Put your kid in an Instagram video and don't credit them. Bam, you're free of the tyranny of the iPhone for a few years. Learn more about your ad choices.

Another lost episode? Already? Yes, because this one is a continuation of the previous one. Louie and Wendy stick around to interview Nick about his new show. Then, suddenly, the episode ends and we're talking to Dr. Pol. If you're wondering what happened there, so am I. Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you remember Louie's ill-fated line of shirts called Louie's Big N' Easy? If so, you have an incredible memory. Wendy never had a line of shirts, which is probably why she found Louie so intimidating. I mean, technically Louie never did either, but at least he was close. Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you know how Bob and Mary met? Well you're about to learn. You're also going to learn about The Dutch Giant. He's not related to the story, we're just fascinated how someone can get so big without getting trapped in rooms with small doors. Learn more about your ad choices.

Youtube is an endless font of entertainment. It's also a portal straight to Satan's subconscious, so watch your step. Maybe keep the kids away until they've completed some basic demonology training. Until then, you can take them to Costco. That's also an endless font of entertainment. At least for some people, anyway. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tomorrow at 8 AM, you'll get to hear Tom dominate the Initials Game. How hard could it be, right? It's just letters. We know those. We also know how to annoy the politically-minded. But we'll try not to do that too much. Learn more about your ad choices.

Old people shouldn't be allowed to vote. Hey, don't get mad at me, get mad at Tom. He's the one who said it. They also probably shouldn't have been allowed to make TV shows, based on some of the things you hear coming from actors in the 50s. Of course, now we have vegan cults and mediocre music, so the truth is, nothing is ever as good as you remember. Learn more about your ad choices.

Remember being a kid? Every Saturday morning you'd wake up early so you could watch your weekly allotment of kid's shows. Then it was back to the coal mines for another week. We miss that. The TV, not the mining coal. Although if we had some coal to burn at least it would be somewhat warm. Learn more about your ad choices.

The SNL 50th anniversary happened, and just like the rest of the show, people are of mixed opinion. This is also true for Landman, so maybe it's just another symptom of our divided nation. Everyone can agree that Paddington in Peru was good though. Everyone except Fawn. Learn more about your ad choices.

Brent is known for his deadpan delivery. What he is not known for is his knowledge of sports. Sound familiar? That's right, this episode is the origin of the world famous Brent and Andy Sports Show.

It's the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live, which means it's been approximately 50 years since any of us watched it. Still, we'll always cherish the memories. We'll also cherish the memories of SCTV, In Living Color, and other things that aren't SNL but also basically are. But you know what Tim likes the most? Kids getting proper upbringings. There's not enough of that going around any more either. Learn more about your ad choices.

You've heard him on WCCO. You've seen him on the other WCCO. In this case "you" refers to Minnesotans, so if you're not one of those, please disregard this message. But please don't disregard his words of wisdom, nor his admiration of Tom. That last one is very important to us. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you heard about King Boreas and his enemy, Vulcanus Rex? How about the Queen of Snows? No, it's not a religion. Not yet, anyway. It's the Saint Paul Winter Carnival, and Jimmy is trying to convince Tom to be part of it. Jimmy can't do it himself because he's got a daughter in dance. If you also have or had a daughter in dance, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Learn more about your ad choices.

Football season has come and gone once more, which means it's time for Costaki to bid farewell. Of course, he's coming into town in less than a month, so it's not all that sad. Not nearly as sad as you'll be when you see how much it costs to go to Disney World, anyway. Learn more about your ad choices.

Okay, so the retool didn't go so well. But this is the reretool. What could possibly go wrong? Especially when you have The Chucker, Kristyn, and Bob and Mary.

If you listen closely, you may hear the first ever utterance of the term "I don't like the far left or the far right". Of course, I'm just guessing because I was too busy trying to keep up with Rich. But if I'm right, that makes this episode historical. Learn more about your ad choices.
