Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Monday 12-11-00

Todd and Tyler started off the show this morning discussing the weather. It snowed quite a bit last night and the roads were less than stellar when they came in to work. Tyler said he saw a semi-truck jack knifed on L Street. TnT, Donnie and Dani were all on time this morning despite the weather. The guys took some early morning calls but the weather had obviously snow blinded the brains of those first few phoners, as their calls were really bad. As the show got underway, the guys talked about their weekends. Tyler had a little shindig over the weekend. Becky planned the whole party but Tyler proclaimed, “I paid for it”. Todd was in attendance and left his little, granite pipe outside Tyler’s back porch and had to retrieve it the next day. Both TnT were surprised that it didn’t crack in the extreme temperatures.

During Dani’s first newscast, she read a story about a woman whose kid was taken away from her because she was still breastfeeding her kid at 5-years-old. When TnT asked what was wrong with that, stating it must have been the mother’s choice and who was the State to determine she was wrong, Dani said, “Well, it was against the kid’s wishes.” Yes, the 5-year-old didn’t want to be breastfed but his whacked mother (allegedly) made him. The mother also made her son sleep in the same bed as her, saying that she didn’t have enough room for a room of his own for her son.

The guys tried to place a call to Tyler’s dad because Ed had a great breastfeeding story. When they placed the call, they had some technical difficulties and found that they couldn’t dial long distance. After a couple of minutes of complaining about it in an attempt to get someone in power’s attention to the problem, Tyler used his cell phone to call his dad in Pennsylvania, give him the 800 # to the studio and had his dad Ed phone them with the story. When Ed called, he told of his brother who, I believe, was called Chub (Yes, good old Uncle Chub…). The story goes that when Chub was a young boy, 3 or 4 years of age, he would kneel down to say his bedtime prayers at night and conclude each prayer with “Amen. Gimme ma tit.” After Ed’s call, the guys spent some time talking about breastfeeding and such. When Travis came in, the expert on breastfeeding, he relayed further information on the subject. Later, some callers checked in with breastfeeding stories and information as well.

The guys discussed several Christmas related topics at various times in this morning’s show. At one point, they talked about live nativity scenes and why there aren’t many. They also discussed the origins of the Christmas tree, it’s secularity and, after Flave checked in, the Pagan origins of the tree.

Todd and Tyler had their first Carl Jarl Dumbass of the Day this morning. A listener named Marlene phoned TnT and said that she had locked herself out of her running car. The guys phoned the people at Carl Jarl who assisted Marlene. Keep in mind that if you lock yourself out of something, give TnT a call and you too can be a Todd and Tyler Carl Jarl Dumbass of the Day.

Bad weather talk continued in the middle of the show. The guys spoke with Brian Houston of Houston Lawns/Snow Plowing/Gutter Cleaning/Paint Scraping/Quitting-My-TV-Gig-And-Moving-Back-From-Alaska-Because-My-Wife-Said-So/Part-Time Beat Off Singer. He was on the road plowing a bit. Rumpy called in for the first time in a long time. He was in a ditch. In fact, Rumpy very well may have frozen solid because he never checked back in. The middle act from the Funny Bone phoned TnT from the airport saying that he wasn’t going to be able to get out. Later in the show, Colleen from the Bone commissioned a TnT listener with 4-wheel drive to take last weekend’s headliner, Adam Ferrara to the airport. A listener offered up his services although I didn’t catch his name. While TnT had Colleen on the phone, they spent a little time talking about how the weather affects her business and others like it. When TV weathermen predict massive snow, people will sometimes avoid going out to places like the Funny Bone. That hurts local businesses and storeowners get pissed when TV weathermen perpetuate the weather panic and nothing weather-wise ends up happening.

The latter half of the show was spent discussing jobs in which people have to go to on bad weather days even though the job isn’t essential. The guys got lots of calls from listeners on the subject. Examples of those types of jobs were people who worked at the mall, window cleaners, meter readers and framers. The funniest call was from a guy who said that he delivers urinal screens and even he couldn’t get the day off. TnT also tried to help their buddy Heavy C out. They called his boss at work to see if it was necessary for him to come in. His boss said it was okay if he didn’t show but added that everyone else had made it in to work and that if Heavy C wanted “to stay home and drink” that it would be okay.

Join Todd and Tyler out at the Arena Sports Bar tonight for another installment of Monday Night Football. The guys are giving away some tires tonight so that should be barrels of fun. Tune in tomorrow from 5:30 to 10am for another show and then check back here for the written update. I think I covered it all for today. Thanks for watching. Good night. –Corby-
