The Tom Barnard Show

Scott hearkens from a time when the US dominated the Olympics. When he's not winning gold medals, he's defeating cancer multiple times and writing a book about it.

Ian's back, but this time memories of Saint Paul take a backseat to the FCC and its control over the radio and TV. Ian is not pro-control. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all know Johnny didn't hit Lisa. But what about Gary Oldman or Ryan Seacrest? We'll have to wait for them to star in obvious parallels of their own lives before we know for sure. Or we'll just wait for them to fade into obscurity like most of Hollywood. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

China has a lot of people. This is well known. What it doesn't have a lot of is train cars, especially when they're pseudo-segregated. Groping and mass murder aren't quite on the same level, but they're both aberrant behavior. If we can find the onus of both we can solve China's train problem and the world's murder problem all at once. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Farm kids know the horror of a rooster crowing at 5 AM. Some kids liked said horror, apparently. Speaking of things nobody likes, the Oscars came and went and nobody watched it. We don't take any joy in hating the Oscars, we just don't take any joy in liking them either. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gold is valuable. Is it valuable enough to justify going into a jungle full of toxic life and potentially hostile miners? Maybe the gold itself isn't, but the experience can be.

Trump, or DJT as he's known to himself, gets abused a lot. It's not so bad, since he seems to enjoy abusing right back via Twitter. That's a pretty benign vice, so I guess we should be thankful. As Larry Nassar has shown us, it can get much worse. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

All of us have some significant familiarity with St. Paul in some way, including Ian. That means lots of St. Paul-related stories, which happen to be a major aspect of his job.

If you want to live forever, have good genes. If you want to be happy, make $105,000 a year. Both of those may be out of your control, but being present for the official next generation of Doo Wop is not. Doo Wop Generations on PBS. Watch it.

If Trump's wish comes true, you won't be buying much foreign steel in the future. That's alright, because we produce plenty of stuff here. One of the things we produce is The Top Ten Revealed by Katie, which despite her young age is about music from the past. Because the present's music sucks.

Brockmire, Duran Duran, and Lurch. These are all things that have nothing to do with China. Normally that would be a non sequitur, but we had to make the segue somehow.

The Oscars are coming up. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, Lesley has a book - Sometimes You Have to Cross When It Says Don't Walk - about proper street-crossing etiquette.

Is it possible to be a white supremacist and Jewish at the same time? U of M students say yes. 80 of them, anyway.
