Don is a Bob and Tom Show favorite and can be heard regularly on Sirius/XM. Barnhart has notoriously performed clean and now he's letting loose and pulling no punches. He added, "I've always felt that dirty comics aren't always funny but funny comics can be dirty and that dirty jokes are like jalapeños. Most people don't mind two or three but nobody wants a jalapeño milkshake."
