The Tom Barnard Show

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.

The interesting thing about this episode is that if we called an episode "family chat" today, we might as well not even give it a title. But twelve and a half years ago, we had never done it before. Time certainly flies, doesn't it? Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you know what "acerbic" means? No reason, just asking. This episode was recorded in a recording studio I think we used like three times. And if you're one of the few people who reads these descriptions, you're probably also the kind of person who appreciates that sort of insider info. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the new format of the new show. If you never listen live you might not have even noticed anything different, at least until there was no bumper music. We like change around here, but we don't like it to be too drastic. Drastic things are scary. Learn more about your ad choices.

And with that, the show we call "The Family" is over. Of course, we're all staying in the same location in basically the same time slot so it's more of a rebrand, but let us be wistful regardless. We'll be back at 10:30 on Monday and you'll never know anything changed. Learn more about your ad choices.
