Democrat/Progressive/Liberal? -- A Trump Administration Takes Shape — What YOU Can Do
15/11/2016 Duration: 59minThere are no easy answers right now for those who have a political mindset with ANY information to back the way they feel, but if you are decidedly NOT a Republican and feel you are a Democrat, or an offshoot there of, what does that mean and when, more importantly, does that look like — to you? Z gave an impassioned history lesson of protest and revolt involving the foreclosure and why lessons learned there are CRITICAL to make a difference moving forward. Who will lead the Democratic National Committee and will it matter, when all is said and done? The other thought to ponder is simple; are we even asking the correct questions any longer? Stay tuned! www.tandztalk.com

WTF Just Happened and What Happens Next?
09/11/2016 Duration: 01h05minWell, T&Z have little to no sympathy, empathy or delusions of what happened and did NOT waste their time with analysis, expert testimony, other people's opinions or theories. Why? Because, frankly, does it matter? What T&Z did do was remind us all of what our PERSONAL responsibilities are. to ourselves, our families and our own values and morals. They also stressed the critical nature of what it means to make a difference and what that looks like for them, and for you, if you are willing to go along AND support this ride. The next whatever is, is what the next whatever is, but finger pointing and crying and hanging our heads low accomplishes nothing but MAYBE some personal satisfaction, and what has that gotten us, ever? T&Z strongly believe that in order to be the difference we must be the difference in our own lives first and foremost. Our journey to continue this podcast, based on intelligent facts and educated information may have made us poor financially, but we will not succumb to the outer-

You Decide What Country You Want To Live In
07/11/2016 Duration: 01h12minToday's T&Z podcast is about, yup, you guessed it, voting. Reasons, ideas, truth, lies, candidates, issues, judges, statewide races, and so much more is on the ballot tomorrow, but really, voting is essential for all the reasons you should be voting. We did travel back in time to highlight some of the antics of both campaigns. We talked about how WRONG we were about Trump from day one and we shared our thoughts about Hillary Clinton. We delved into whatever "the media" has or hasn't been and what that may look like come Wednesday, but in all sincerity. PLEASE VOTE. We will survive any result, but make sure one of the votes you see in the voting totals is yours and take pride in that number. It matters! www.tandztalk.com

Can we survive a Trump presidency? Is Hillary really crooked? Would you know what changes looks like if it bit you in the ass? Are you going to vote? Although today's show was definitively not a feel-good, pro-democrat message, it is a reality check. You can decided for yourself how real it is. www.tandztalk.com

Megyn Kelley swats Newt, Nasty Women, and T&Z Talk Money
26/10/2016 Duration: 01h03minWe took a departure from the regular fare in this episode and talked about more personal issues. We hit on some of the highlights of what's going on in politics, but had a bit of an unplanned detour. Listen in and settle in. TandZTalk.com

Nasty Woman, Bad Hombres, and Making Stuff Up
20/10/2016 Duration: 01h03minThe final and third debate in the insane series of Trump v. Clinton and Tony and Richard run down some of the highlights of the 90 minute fiasco. Trump called Hillary a nasty women, lied about his wife, his kids, his wealth ... and well everything. It got nasty and if Trump was trying to prove that he had an awesome temperament, loved women, was loved by women, or knew anything about foreign policy short of the conspiracy theories he's read on lunatic websites, he failed. tandztalk.com

Melania on Donald's Behavior, Donald on Hillary's Drug Problem, and Elizabeth Warren is Spot On
18/10/2016 Duration: 01h01minOK, so Melania Trump believes that boys will be boys, even when her "boy" was 59 years old when he admitted to sexually assaulting women. OK, so next exhibit: According to Mrs. Trump he didn't know the mic was on…kinda the point Melania. He didn't, therefore it was his honest feelings. Oh, Melania, T&Z asks you to have someone other than Steve Bannon write your stuff for your own sake and for when the prenup gets caught in the court system and his words are used against you. Maybe plagarize from someone intelligent, like Michelle Obama, for example. Well, as the first war on drugs didn't work, T&Z are not so sure why Trump thinks his war on drugs will, and frankly, we'd like to see him take a drug test. And so would the women on The View. Can you say deflection? And we end the show with Sen. Elizabeth Warren's impersonation of a clucking chicken (really!). It's worth it. www.tandztalk.com

Is Trump's Brain Rigged? — Wikileaks and Why It Doesn't Matter — Interpreting Trump While Invoking Gingrich/Giuliani/Pence
17/10/2016 Duration: 01h05minOK, so Hillary is not on drugs, all women are not liars and elections are not rigged. So, as we explore what Trump says, what his surrogates claim he is saying and what to expect moving forward (not that anyone can truly figure that out), T&Z have their take at it. As the "liberal" media is spending as much time on Wikileaks as they are on The Donald's ongoing implosion, Trump is a one man PR firm whose wheels fell off weeks ago. If we were him we would fire him. Oh my, the upcoming "debate" should be a doozy, or a freak show of Barnum and Bailey proportions. Politics 2016. The year of the drag-on! www.tandztalk.com

Trump Does Hamlet - Michelle Obama Chimes in - Slings and Arrows
14/10/2016 Duration: 01h36sBack to back and overlapping speeches by Trump, Michelle, and Barack addressed crowds this weeks and the differences were stark. From Michelle Obama's impassioned speech in which she addressed the pervasive sexual assaults that happen to women regularly, Barack Obama's charm, humor and wit at the podium and then Donald Trump's poor attempt at reading a speech off of a teleprompter. His unnatural cadence, mispronunciation of simple words and weird hand gestures. Tony and Richard discuss these speeches and more in this episode. tandztalk.com

See Me — Touch Me— Feel Me…
13/10/2016 Duration: 01h10minNope, not a Who song, but a Trump mantra, sadly. As more allegations of @realDonaldTrump's disgusting and disrespectful behavior toward women makes itself public, as only 'The Donald' can, to solve this issue, is to threaten to sue the messenger. Way to go Donald. The mainstream media has FINALLY had enough, and none too soon. Now they have drawn a line in the proverbial sand and are not allowing Trump surrogates to cross it because not every answer should start with, "but Hillary Clinton." Touché Until tomorrow compatriots. Don't forget, nothing replaces voting on November 8, not the 28th as Trump suggested. tandztalk.com

The Trump Slump — Hillary Explodes and Trump Implodes — Ryan Ain't Lyin'
11/10/2016 Duration: 01h10minOh, what a wonderful time to be political pundits, and T&Z had a field day today as the Trump Train has fallen over the abyss and is heading for the bottom on the gulch! As Hillary Clinton's leads has reached almost insurmountable numbers, The Trumpster continues to scream insults at her, accuse her of having no stamina, and says her behavior toward women is worse than Bill Clinton's. And, we wish we we lying, but alas, this is Donald Trump, after all, so we suffer for another 28 days. Stay tuned for the show tomorrow as we continue to try and explore the reality and the alternate universe that is American politics 2016!

The Debate, Melania's Pussy Shirt, and Trump Grabbing ....
10/10/2016 Duration: 01h20minToday's T&Z welcome back show was filled from top to bottom with debate, denial, debunking and delusion. Facts were left on the cutting room floor for The Donald as he, very Grinch-like, made his stalking presence known to both Hillary Clinton and the audience. With some in the media praising Trump's return from oblivion, that didn't last even 12 hours before the rest of the country chimed in declaring Hillary Clinton the winner of the debate by large margins. Trump is toast, the nut and grain kind. His chances of being president of anything but his own companies is done as well and once November 8 is behind us, America actually will be safe again, from groping and fondling our American ideas. WOW, what a night!

Debating the Debates, Trump's Russian Problem, What Trump Does Hillary Get on Monday?
23/09/2016 Duration: 01h03minAh, T&Z almost got dizzy trying to explain the debate on Monday night with fallacies, lies and utterances and sure to be zingers, who the hell really knows what will happen? The suspense is building!!! @realDonaldTrump has @realProblems with his Russian connections as Brian Ross from ABC shares in an expose on Good Morning America that we shared with you. Ouch! Hillary Clinton joined Zack Gailianakis for his show, "Between Two Ferns" and the results were both hilarious and a bit uncomfortable for Hillary. Well worth the listen, we promise. And last, and certainly NOT LEAST, Sen. Elizabeth Warren took Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf to the woodshed as only she can, and the results were pure gold. www.tandztalk.com info@tandztalk.com

Trump, Jr. Follows in Daddy's Footsteps, The Critical Importance of the Debate, The Media Shame That Came Too Late
20/09/2016 Duration: 01h14sT&Z had a field day today with more ammunition on Trump, Trump, Jr and the lies and racist propaganda they continue to spew. We also learned that "papa" George H W Bush is voting for Hillary Clinton, further emphasizing how critical being presidential is. Do not take the news lightly. T&Z also reacted to the media waking up to the reality of what they have created since @realDonaldTrump came into the political arena and are trying to play catch-up. Is it too late? Time will tell.

Trump's Lying Surrogates, Trump's non-Apology, and Hillary's Birther Woes
19/09/2016 Duration: 59minToday's emotional rendering of the stupidity of what @realDonaldTrump did over the past few days included a possibility that the reason media surrogates have become the quintessential liars they are is because they just MAY be drugged, as any other reason seems to have escaped T & Z. If you have a better theory, let us know. Did Trump once again call for violence against Hillary Clinton? It sure sounded bold enough to believe that. We also delve into the media, especially Joy Reid of MSNBC, finally having the temerity to stand up to the lies of a few surrogates recently, and what a breath of fresh air that is.

Harry Reid Calls Trump a Leech and More From the Campaign
16/09/2016 Duration: 56minWe all know the saying "When do you know when a politician is lying? When their lips are moving", well good old @realDonaldTrump has become the poster child for that saying, and is redefining the very essence of what truth, prosperity and the American way is, to most of us. Once again, because of him, the birther story is once demanding mostly media attention. Why? T&Z really have no freaking idea!!! Trump is still dodging his taxes and the Hillary e-mail story is still hanging on, but as we discussed today, the George W. Bush administration "lost", get this, 22 MILLION, e-mails, yep, lost them…sure they did so where is the media on that story? www.tandztalk.com info@tandztalk.com

Medical Records, Military Courts, and Moderators According to Trump
13/09/2016 Duration: 59minDonald Trump has some strong and delusional views on things like what a debate moderator does, whether the military has a court system, how the fed and finances work, and of course whether something as common as pneumonia should keep someone out of public office. www.tandztalk.com info@tandztalk.com

Hillary's stroke, seizures, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other alt-right BS
12/09/2016 Duration: 01h01minWe're back after a brief sabbatical that involved work, moving, illnesses and so much more of all the fun things life can throw at you. In this episode we talk about 9/11, Hillary's stroke, seizures, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and the fact that she's in a wheelchair most of the day. The fabricated illnesses afflicting Clinton are boundless, as is the GOP's lack of intellectual pride. And then some more stupid things about Trump, because what show would be complete without it. www.tandztalk.com info@tandztalk.com

When Trump's Tiny Little Fingers Are On The Button
05/08/2016 Duration: 01h01minThe thought of Trump having access to the nuclear codes is terrifying to nearly anyone who knows anything about what it means to launch nuclear weapons. One man who worked underground, with that possibility, had a few words to say. Of course, we also discussed a slew of other things. www.tandztalk.com info@tandztalk.com
