Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Tuesday 11-14-00

Todd and Tyler started off the show this morning talking about an article in the paper. A woman named Tammy was profiled in the article which centered around her tickets to the Big 12 Championship game and how she won’t be using them now that the Huskers won’t be going. The paper took the sympathy approach to the woman’s dilemma. Todd and Tyler, on the other hand, weren’t so sympathetic. The took a few calls on the subject including a call from a listener who said he had run into the same problem. He turned around and sold the 12 tickets he bought for the game on eBay for an $800 profit.

TnT spent a great deal of time this morning discussing Dani’s caffeine intake. For the last few weeks, they’ve been trying to convince her that in order for her to be awake in the morning, she has to drink coffee. Dani tried drinking some a while ago but claimed not to have liked it. Instead, she’s been drinking tea. This morning she claimed that a friend of hers told her that there is as much caffeine, if not more, in tea as coffee. TnT both disputed her claims and set out to the Internet to provide her with more accurate information. Todd found a web site with some statistical information about caffeine in various drinks and went down the list for Dani. According to the website, Dani’s information was incorrect. In fact, her tea has less than ½ the caffeine as coffee. Dani’s repeated rebuttal to the facts throughout the argument was, “But I’m using two tea bags.”

The guys spent some time this morning discussing strange names for babies again. Tyler mentioned that no matter what name Todd would suggest, Becky wouldn’t choose it. Her reason was because she and Tyler would constantly be reminded by Todd that he came up with the baby’s name. TnT called Becky during the conversation and she confirmed her reasoning saying that they “would never hear the end of it.”

Travis and Donnie got into a heated argument about the Huskers this morning. They tossed barbs back and forth about Newcomb, Crouch, Lord and even went back to the days of Tommy Frazier. Donnie became very angry while ranting and complaining about the football team. Travis, too, was quite aggressive in his argument at times. Todd and Tyler let the two ramble for a bit but then put an end to the discussion.

TnT spent some time discussing various forms of birth control again today. Todd’s upcoming vasectomy was also brought up. Travis continues to question Todd’s decision saying it is unnecessary. Todd tried to spin his decision by saying that he didn’t want to make his girlfriend ingest chemicals. No one seemed to buy his argument, however. Other methods of birth control were also discussed including the rhythm method, the pill and the male version of the pill. Lots of calls came in on the subject as well.

Comedians Darrel Joyce and Jay Scott Holman came in this morning. They aren’t at the Funny Bone this week; they’re just passing through town and thought they’d stop in and hang out with TnT for a bit. Darrel Joyce freaked out a little bit when General Jim ate his Krispy Kream doughnut. The guys then spent some time talking about Darrel’s addiction to the doughnuts. The comedians also joined in on the other topics of the day.

TnT spoke with Dana Altman, coach of the Creighton Bluejay’s Basketball team. They talked about how Michigan State beat the Globetrotters and then moved on to talk about Creighton’s upcoming season. The coach said it should be a good season and spent a little time talking about a few of the players they lost (including one guy who went home because he was “home sick”).
