TnT started off this morning’s show with more talk about the Husker baseball team. We all know that no one really cares about the team and any reasonable baseball fan hopes the Huskers don’t make it but the media is perpetuating Husker Fever by pretending we give a damn. Even one of TnT’s listeners has taken part in this. His name is Sean and he’s called quite a few times sense it became clear that the Huskers might have a shot to discuss the baseball team. I appreciate the fact that he is calling the show and his takes on the various topics are right on the money. What caller Sean doesn’t seem to understand is that by him complaining about the Husker baseball team, he’s perpetuating the discussion further. If you don’t want to hear about the Husker baseball team, why have you called in every morning for more than a week to spend 10 minutes on the phone giving your takes on the topic? Hopefully after this weekend we won’t have to worry about Husker Fever invading the CWS. Go Stanford.

Also early in the show, the guys read a couple of hate e-mails and discussed the new CBS show “Survivor” which premiered last night. They joked about how the old woman got booted off last night and made references to how the Navy Seal was waxing the back of the supposed homo “corporate trainer”. All in all, I think TnT agreed that they liked the show.

Lisa’s List this morning was the top 10 reasons they’re killing the Lisa’s List bit. That’s right, they won’t be doing it any longer.

The main topic of this morning’s show centered on high school. Lisa read a news story about how police are going to be out in full force to enforce curfews and such during this week’s end of school time period. The discussion quickly turned into talk about TnT’s days in high school. The gang started discussing yearbooks and asked listeners to call in and read some passages their friends had written in their yearbooks. Some as you can expect, were pitiful while others were a little better (the one from the 19-year-old girl which mentioned a “hand job” comes to mind). TnT called Donnie’s ex-wife to see if she had his yearbooks. She didn’t but she did provide the guys with all sorts of ammunition to use against Donnie. Because I like him (and, well, because you’ll hear this every day from here on out), I’ll spare you and Donnie by not detailing all that his ex-wife said about him. Just tune in and you’ll hear it soon enough.

The phone calls on the subject were really bad for some reason. It must have been the mojo of the morning. TnT did their best to pick things up but the callers kept dragging them down. Fortunately, Lisa called in from her home and read some passages from her yearbook. That seemed to be the turning point for bad callers because, from there, the phones got much better. The gang started to talk about the clubs they were in and everyone seemed to pile on Todd. Not only was he a speech geek and band guy but he was also in the German Club. The funniest part of it all is that he had no idea how or why he was in the club. Listeners checked in with their own geek club stories that included tales of the German club, chess club and even the Dungeons and Dragons club. Other callers checked in to tell their stories about the horrors of being in the band. Slave Boy Chris and Jeremy came in studio and talked about their experiences in high school as well. They were also geeks.

TnT sent Big Pussy to 72nd and Dodge Street with the Harley they’ll be giving away this weekend. The guys were just going to show off the hog for a while and try to get some radio out of it. Unfortunately, the Harley didn’t have any gas in it so they couldn’t rev it up. Basically, the entire bit consisted of Big Pussy calling TnT while sitting on the motorcycle in the back of a truck and saying “We’ve got no gas”.

TnT spoke with Kyle Peterson of the Milwaukee Brewers today. He’s currently going through some rehab for his shoulder and hopes to be back with Milwaukee at some point in the near future. The guys talked about his arm and his career and then spent a little time discussing the CWS.

Jaime Lisso from the Funny Bone came in today and hung out with TnT for a while. He really didn’t say too much but did talk briefly about being a body builder for a short time. Catch him opening up for Medicinehat at the Bone this weekend. Call 493-8036 for reservations.

Well, that’s the update for today. Check back tomorrow for the Friday version. Thanks for watching. Good night. –the Alien Guy-
