Tom Barnard Show: Hour 3 - In the theater over yonder

The countdown to Christmas officially begins today with the calendar flipping to December, and what better way to celebrate than with a jam packed show! In the first hour, KSTP's Chris Egert hears a story about a British man who was addicted to sleeping with dead bodies, and informs about an update in the Middle East along with more info on the local house explosion that happened yesterday. Plus the crew gets at each other's throats over fruit preferences. Hour #2 has Bob Sansevere who talks about the Timberwolves' successful run so far, the Gophers losing some notable players to the transfer portal, the Wild's turnaround under their new coach, and what the Vikings should do at QB after their bye week. Actor Bernie Kopell joins the show to talk about his new work "Our (Almost Completely True) Love Story" which releases December 8th on Amazon Instant, Apple TV, Vimeo, Google Play, Vudu, and Hoopla. Also, longtime friend of the show Brad Blanks stops by to talk about the time he shocked Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston with his size, and his run in with Julia Roberts’ body guard. In hour #3 Tim Lammers and Kristyn Burtt are united by a common goal: get people back into theaters. Step one is to solve the cell phone issue. Of course, every solution costs money and relies largely on the honor system. And if these people had honor to begin with, they wouldn't be ruining your movie experience in the first place. What a paradox. On the Family, prepare to get serious. No, not because Josh Arnold is in and money is serious business. Today we also have Patty Wetterling, mother of Jacob Wetterling, in studio. She and Joy Baker have written a book, Dear Jacob, which you could describe as "heavy". Stream the show LIVE on the Tom Barnard Show app M-F from 8-12PM or get the show on-demand on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts! Learn more about your ad choices.
