Before the Farley clan was famous around the world, they were famous at Catholic school for many of the same reasons as they are now. Still, they were no Chuck Berry or Harry Caray.

Is Tracy Fortson a murderer? You probably don't know, but M, also known as Matthew, probably does. He even wrote a book about it. Earlier they solved a much easier crime when someone branded his initials on some patients' livers. No book was written about that one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John isn't a true gentleman, even though he wrote True Gentleman. You see, only SAE members take the eponymous pledge.

Identity theft might not suck as much as being born with your heart on the outside, but it's still pretty high up there.

The midwest is a lot like Minesweeper. Hit the wrong (or perhaps right) space and your accent goes all over the place. Chicago is one of those spaces.

If you're upset that your heroes don't respond to your messages, don't take it personally. We probably don't even know they exist. It may be a side effect of being Supernormal, which in Tom's case means having a crazy dad. Note: that description may not reflect Meg's opinion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom hates cop. Not cops, just the one cop. It's probably not a good idea to taunt the cop who gave you a ticket, but he's doing it anyway. It's also probably not a good idea to bring back Ewoks.

Step into the Amethyst Realm with the Tom Barnard Show. Oh wait, it's not a place, it's someone's name. Someone crazy. Instead let's talk about Christmas some more. $500,000 Salvation Army donations are nice. The war on Christmas is less nice, though it depends largely on which side you're on, assuming you take a side at all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone's talking about the new tax plan. Not everyone sees it as a good thing. That may be an understatement. One person we know for sure doesn't like it is Mike.
