The Tom Barnard Show

So, how 'bout those Twins? And Timberwolves. And Lynx. But just those three, I guess. And let's not even talk about dog and horse racing. Actually, let's do, because it's actually an interesting story. You've heard of rags to riches, but how about the opposite? Yes, you've probably heard about that too.

What's your idea of "hard work"? 40 hours a week at the office? Maybe to some people. 60 hours loading livestock into a gigantic supervillain-style blender? Child's play. Try acting. You work a grueling three months on, nine months off schedule and all you get out of it is tens of millions of dollars. Those are the real heroes. Them and whoever figured out how to turn a cow into a McRib. Or the color orange into what could generously be called "cheese". Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you see a bear cub, what do you do? If your answer was anything but "keep your distance", you've got some learning to do. If it was "grab it", we question your sanity. Unfortunately, the latter happens. You know what also happens? Minnesota teams win games. I didn't say it happens a lot, but it does happen. Learn more about your ad choices.

There are some things you just shouldn't do. Don't run from the cops. Don't support terrorists. Don't eat people. Even if those people appear extra tasty, just don't do it. Chew on a nice tin of tobacco instead. Sure you might get gum cancer, and sure the price may have gone up 25 times since you were a kid, but it's better than the alternative. Marginally.

Trade your nails in for a soda and watch some women's basketball, because there's a paradigm shift in college sports. For the first time ever, more people watched the women's games than the men's. Is it because women are all extremely tall now? Is it because Caitlyn Clark is the new Michael Jordan? Maybe the men just suck this year. Learn more about your ad choices.

How are you with plants? Are you an unwitting plant assassin? Try a cactus. Or a succulent. Or a cactus that is also a succulent. Any combination should work. You can buy it with all the money that apparently lines the bottom of our garbage cans. You'll find that money more accessible than the stuff that goes toward elections, despite there being much more of it there. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

People seem to think they can do anything as long as they have a cause. Blocking traffic, burning buildings, and the worst of all: parking at a meter that still has time left on it. The nerve.

If you have kids between the ages of 1 and 10, odds are you watch a lot of Bluey. But what about the classics? What happened to Mickey Mouse? Apparently he got rabies, that's what.

We've been burning gas to make our cars go for over a century. Is it time for a change? Maybe. But what do we change to? Electric isn't great because of batteries, transmission, and generation. Hydrogen is impractical. Methane needs to be supercooled, plus it smells bad. There's never been a better time to invent a new power source. You know, like Iron Man. Just do that.
