Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Friday 9-10-99

Todd and Tyler were live at the Funny Bone this morning kicking off the start of this year’s Rock-A-Thon. They spent some time talking about who would be on the show and filling in their listeners on the upcoming events of the day. They joked around a bit about Travis saying he’d shave his back for a large donation. They also talked to the Pancake Man who was at the Bone serving up food for everyone. The Pancake man spent the morning cooking up pancakes and tossing them to everyone in the crowd. It was pretty cool and the pancakes were excellent.

As the show moved on, TnT were inundated with guests. They all hung out, joked around with TnT and seemed to enjoy themselves. There was so much activity and so many guests that I couldn’t document everything that was said but I can give you the complete list of people who showed up to support the Rock-A-Thon today. The spellings of their names might not be correct but I’m sure I’ll get a “fix this, fix that” report from Todd the Spelling King soon. 8^)

In the early part of the show, TnT played a game called “Horse Race or Porn Movie”. They read off some names and had a few Huskers battle it out to determine if the name they read was that of a racehorse or a porn movie. Names like “Wild Peach Pick’en” and “Pink & Leggy” really stumped everyone. It was a very funny bit and for the most part, you couldn’t tell if the names TnT gave were those of horses or porn movies. They all just seemed to be interchangeable.

TnT spoke with Victoria Jackson today. She talked about auditioning for a pilot for Comedy Central called "Strip Mall”. The premise of the show is that a store in a strip mall is losing money so they change the theme of the store into a porno studio. It sounded pretty interesting and Victoria was as wacky as ever. Someone donated $30 to Camp Caholo so they could hear Victoria’s Jewel boob song. The guys also played many other musical clips from their show throughout today’s broadcast. They required listeners to call in and pledge a donation to the Rock-A-Thon before playing the tunes however. We heard a few songs from Harry Kerry and Red Neckman, Nina Story and Larry the Cable Guy and, of course, “Living La Vita Homo”.

TnT had a conversation with Husker coach http://www.fsolich.com” target=blank>Frank Solich this morning. At the start of the call, TnT told Frank that thought they had a good relationship. Frank agreed and then said that he’s “bonded” with TnT sense he took over the Husker program. It was pretty amusing. They talked a lot about the Huskers, their upcoming game and the quarterback controversy. Frank was willing to talk about anything relating to the team with Todd and Tyler. He didn’t really shy away from any part of the conversation. TnT also talked to former Huskers Jerry Godowsky and Jerry Taggey on the phone. They both joked around with TnT and which ever former Huskers happened to be on stage with the guys at the time.

Larry the Cable Guy checked in today and gave Todd and Tyler a commentary on TV award shows. He complained about the MTV awards show and bashed rap and R&B music. Everyone in the Funny Bone audience seemed to agree with Larry. The commentary was very funny (especially the bug burrowing up the butt of the dancers reference). Larry will be at the Bone in a few weeks.

The highlight of today’s live broadcast was, indeed, the ”Shaving of the Back”. After Travis made the mistake of saying he’d get his back hair removed if someone donated a large sum of money, TnT’s millionaire friend Jefferson put up the cash. Travis seemed nervous and said that if he was going to have this done, he wanted professionals to do it. “I don’t want some guy with a single-bladed Bic going at my back”. So, he called a few ladies from Creative Hair Salon to come to the Bone and take care of that Chi Chi Chi Chia patch of fur surrounding his spine.

When the ladies arrived, they had to determine if they were going to shave Trav’s back or wax it. After a little audience response, it was decided that Trav’s back would be waxed clean instead of shaved. Everyone wanted to see Travis in pain and TnT thought they’d get better audio from the waxing than shaving. Boy, were they right! Once the wax was melted, Travis came to the stage wearing one of those “I’m going to get my hair cut now” body bibs. He showed his hairy back to the audience and received a groan of disgust from all of us. Then the ladies from the salon bent Travis over a table much like Ned Batey in “Deliverance” and went to work. After each retched rip, Travis screamed and winced in pain. By the time it was all over, the ladies had removed all the hair from his back, shoulders and neck. They had 5-6 pads of cloth full of Trav’s back hair. It was truly disgusting! Travis, who nearly died from the pain, came back up to the stage to show off his smooth-as-a-baby’s-ass, bright pink back. The audience gave him some love and the lady who tortured his back follicles gave him a nice back rub. Way to go Trav! In 40 painful strokes, you raised $2500 for Camp Caholo! You da man! Now maybe you’ll get some.

Well, the live Todd and Tyler started off this year’s Rock-A-Thon with a bang. They had a ton of guests, raised lots of money and put on a great show.
