The TNT Talk Show

Send us Fan Mail " 'Karen' is associated with the kind of person who demands to "speak to the manager" in order to belittle service industry workers, is anti-vaccination, and carries out racist micro-aggressions, such as asking to touch black people's hair. "But a predominant feature of the "Karen" stereotype is that they weaponise their relative privil...

Send us Fan Mail In this laid-back Extra Bit, the "boys" do a typical old geezer thing: they talk about their possessions. Specifically, the boys chat about watches, a quintessential old geezer topic. If you believe you will enjoy hearing a couple of old fogeys talking about their watch collections, then maybe drop in for a quick listen? Although we much prefer effusive praise 😉 on our...

Send us Fan Mail Some people think that it is immoral to work in a casino because casinos do not produce anything nor add value to the community. Such people think that gambling is also immoral because all the profit earned from gambling comes from someone else's loss. Gambling is therefore not a cooperative venture which enriches society. Others think the arguments above are so much utter no...

Send us Fan Mail Hot on the heels of losing a 20-year war in Afghanistan, Internet couch potatoes and armchair warriors want to try their hands (well, other people's hands) with an even bigger foe. Specifically, China. Yes, some folks want the West to "stand up" to China–i.e. go to war–with China over Taiwan. Frankly, hearing these people does my head in. I really wish they'd j...

Send us Fan Mail Four conspiracies for you to help investigate this time! ~ Rods (yeah, Tayo hadn't heard of these either) ~ Lake Lanier ~ Crop Circles ~ Havana Syndrome Are these just the tinfoil hat brigade with their usual huff and guff, or is there anything sinister actually going on? The boys chew and the fat with thoughtful expressions writ large upon their furrowed brows and come to so...

Send us Fan Mail In response to any perceived attack on the status quo, the default position of modern western politicians, e.g. Pritti Patel, is to seek to increase censorship and gain more social control over supposedly free citizens. That's nonsense, and this rant makes clear a TNT member's feelings on the matter. 😠 Although we much prefer effusive praise 😉 on our Facebook page, we...

Send us Fan Mail Here's a problem statement for would-be world leaders in our audience. Australia's primary security ally is the US. Australia's primary trading partner is China. How far should Australia go in keeping cosy with the Americans at a cost of its relationship with the Chinese? In this week's episode, the boys chew the fat and wonder out loud if the AUKUS deal was a...

Send us Fan Mail Great Britain used to be a name synonymous with the stiff upper lip, and unflappable nature, and an ability to grin and bear it. Apparently, those days are long gone, to be replaced by a mean-spirited, small-minded, me-first generation of men and women whose behaviour would put the tantrums of a small child to shame. Welcome to Little Britain, 2021. AlAlthough we much prefer effus...

Send us Fan Mail The boys on The TNT Talk Show discuss whether the USA is already a failed state? The USA had a disastrous exit strategy in Afghanistan and at home, their education, social services and health care are in disarray. Why is this the case for the world's leading superpower and wealthiest state? The boys try and pinpoint why this could be the case and what are the consequences for...

Send us Fan Mail Tony isn't having it! He's done. Our normally affable and unflappable friend is up in arms, exercised by a coterie of whingers who have got on his wick. So he's having a little moan and whinge about it. 😉  NOTE: There are guest spots available here! If you need to get something off your "tender bits", send us a recording no longer than 2 minutes 30 second...

Send us Fan Mail The boys on The TNT Talk Show discuss a somewhat troubling topic about just how far should human & animal crossbreed experiments go? Science fiction writers often portray scientists accidentally creating monsters when playing God with human and animal crossbreed experiments. Of course, the creation of these hideous creatures always means the demise of everyone else. Whilst the...

Send us Fan Mail Hello! Welcome to the first in our new series, "RANT!" In it, Tony and Tayo get a chance to sound off on something that, in Tayo's colourful terminology, "has got on my tender bits". In this week's instalment, toady, mean-spirited little would-be men, inept Facebook group admins, Facebook employees, and Facebook itself all draw fulmination from an ira...

Send us Fan Mail Three conspiracies: ~ Chemtrails ~ JFK assassination ~ Death of Pope John Paul I Are these just the tinfoil hat brigade with their usual huff and guff, or is there anything sinister actually going on? The boys chew and the fat with thoughtful expressions writ large upon their furrowed brows and come to some surprising conclusions... Although we much prefer effusive praise 😉 on ou...

Send us Fan Mail In this multi-topic episode: Lots of obese men and women claim that they're not to blame for their condition, that rather, it's their genetic bad luck to have bodies that create fat at the drop of a hat, no matter how little they eat or how often they exercise. The boys are split on this, though, with one generally sympathetic to the supposed plight of these individuals,...

Send us Fan Mail You might not realise this, given the scintillating wit and hyper-modernist cultural awareness displayed by the chaps every week, but the boys are not, in fact, hip young dudes. Rather, each is a long-in-the-tooth oldster who some may even unkindly refer to as a 'boomer'. So it might come as no surprise to you that they are having major issues with social media. In this...

Send us Fan Mail Did Bob Lazar tell the truth when he claimed he worked at a secret facility in Area 51 called S4? And did Bob work on an actual UFO craft attempting to reverse-engineer the propulsion system? Could his story be true, and we have aliens visiting our planet? Could Bob really have worked on a downed UFO craft? To discuss this sensational topic, Tony and Tayo have renowned UFOlogist T...

Send us Fan Mail Here's another of our peek-behind-the-scenes at the TNT Talk Show recording studios. It's Tony's turn to choose the next topic of discussion, and he decides he'd like to talk about Bob Lazar. Unless you are deep into UFO conspiracy theories, you'll probably blurt out the same question Tayo did: "Who the heck is Bob Lazar?" Well, if true, it turns...

Send us Fan Mail When it comes to opinions vs scientific facts, there is meant to be a big difference. An opinion is a judgment of or a preference for something. Opinions can be supported by weak evidence or perhaps by no evidence at all. On the other hand, a scientific fact only exists because of a vast amount of supporting evidence. At least, that's how things are meant to be. In this episo...

Send us Fan Mail In our previous TNT Extra Bits episode , Tayo interviewed Talib Foundling (not her real name), who claims to have been hounded by poltergeists since childhood. In this week's Extra Bit, we hear Tony's reaction. We have taken an interest in the paranormal, and we're eager to speak to anyone who has a credible paranormal story to tell.  If you've got evidence to...

Send us Fan Mail Elon Musk talks sometimes about his belief that Earth doesn't exist and that we live in a computer simulation. At a conference, Musk stated that there is a one-in-a-billion chance we are living in base reality. Well, neither Tony nor Tayo are Elon Musk by any means, but in this week's episode, each discusses his view on whether we live in a Matrix-like simulation. Tony t...

Send us Fan Mail Woke ideology is everywhere today. Switch on your tv, and you are immediately assaulted by some offensively stupid scene of a slender little girl beating up a beefy thug; well-known and beloved characters are gender or race-switched with no obvious benefit to the narrative, and historical facts are turfed out without ado. Schools are teaching kids to ignore facts and go with &apos...

Send us Fan Mail A poltergeist is a ghost that manifests itself by noises and the creation of disorder. Unpleasant, if true. In this Extra Bit, Tayo interviews "Taib Foundling" (not her real name), who claims to be 'sensitive'–meaning she can 'sense' entities that are not of this world. Taib says that ever since her childhood, she has been the victim of harassment by...

Send us Fan Mail Is the House of Lords an anachronistic institution well past its sell-by date, or a unique and much-needed counterbalance to an increasingly overweening and autocratic House of Commons? The boys cross swords as they each defend wildly differing points of view. Tayo is adamant that anyone who holds political power of any sort must be subject to public censure. On the other hand, To...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's Extra Bit, Tayo springs a surprise on Tony. Tayo brings a guest to the show that Tony doesn't know is coming, NOR does Tony know the topic to be discussed. So Tony is totally unprepared and having to debate on past knowledge about the subject. A real challenge for Tony. This special guest brings a controversial topic to discuss. Firstly recounting a tragic...

Send us Fan Mail For once, Tony is the more grounded of the team, readily poo-pooing the idea that psychics can usefully conduct or assist in proper investigative work. Tayo, on the other hand, prefers to put his faith in what he considers to be "facts and evidence". Who's right? Listen in to the debate then get involved by leaving a comment on our Facebook page (see below). Do you...
