Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Thursday 9-13-01

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning discussing the funds Z-92, Journal Broadcasting and Channel 7 raised over the past few days. So far, over $150,000 has been gathered by local people to help aid in the relief efforts to those in need. TnT spent a bit of time talking about the TV coverage various members of the station received yesterday, which included an interview with Slave Boy Jeremy that aired on Channel 7. The video clip showed Jeremy’s response to a title company’s donation of $6000+. TnT phoned him early in the show to get his take on his first television appearance. They were amused at what Jeremy said on TV, which pretty much consisted of him repeating, “I really don’t know what to say.” Jeremy responded to TnT’s inquiry by saying that he was a bit nervous at being on TV and wasn’t exactly sure how to handle it.

Also relating to television coverage, Tyler was put on the air for a brief moment yesterday afternoon. Todd was at home getting a Diekman from his girlfriend who had come home for lunch when he saw Tyler on the set. Everyone had a good laugh about the situation and then Tyler tried to weasel his very own Diekman out of both Christy, Todd’s girlfriend, and the female newscaster who had interviewed him yesterday afternoon. It was a very amusing exchange between TnT that I’ve been giggling about all day.

TnT also had two hate e-mails sent to them this morning that came in from people who didn’t listen well enough to yesterday’s show. One guy misunderstood a story Tyler told yesterday. The story centered on a listener who had approached him in the parking lot during their donation collection activities on Tuesday. The listener thought that when Tyler mentioned the explosion, he figured “someone’s ass was exploding in the studio (a fart, duh). The e-mailer didn’t understand what Tyler was talking about and was chewing him out for making comments about people’s asses being blown up. After setting him straight on exactly what was and was not said, they moved on to the second e-mail.

The second e-mailer was upset at Brian and TnT for reporting a short list of recognizable names of people on the planes or in the buildings that the media covered all day yesterday. The media, TnT’s show included, simply reported those few recognizable names to help the rest of the nation put a face with those lost in the attack. The e-mailer felt that by doing so, TnT were putting the lives of those people at more of a value than the lives of the rest of the people not being mentioned (but turned out to be mentioned all day and night last night, continuing as the rescuers find them today). TnT once again had to explain their reasons for doing the story and chastised the listener for taking such an approach to what they were actually trying to do yesterday.

Brian read a couple of news stories this morning that helped bring us all back to the reality that is living in Omaha. Four men were arrested in Mandan Park for taking part in a homosexual group love fest on one of the trails. Amused all to hell, TnT spent a bit of time trying to figure out how the four men of varying ages would “fit together”. Their conversation made for some interesting visual images that I’d like to forget. In case you missed it, I’ll go ahead and burn those images into your brains now. Imagine 4 Diekmans taking place in a square shape or, perhaps, imagine the four group of men all sitting on each other’s throcks in a circle or, perhaps again, imagine a line of buggering with the man in the engine position receiving a reach-around. There ya go, hope you have a good day now.

One of TnT’s favorite comics, Craig Peters from the Funny Bone came in this morning wearing a cowboy hat. The guys gave him a hard time about it for a bit before continuing on with their show. Sean Gnant also came in but he will not be performing this weekend. Craig and Sean joined in on the topics of the day and urged the TnT listeners to come to the show this evening to help alleviate everyone’s nerves after the tragedy in DC and New York. Call the Bone Phone at 493-8036 for reservations for tonight or this weekend.

TnT had their phone lines open all morning and continued getting calls from listeners relating to the terrorist attacks on Tuesday, as well as other subjects. Throughout the last half of the show, TnT spent a bit of time discussing some predictions made by Nostradomus. Earlier in the show, Donnie yelled something about not wanting any more Nostradomus calls to come in. Having not heard anything related to him or his predictions yet, I was curious. Donnie, on the other hand, didn’t want to have anything to do with it. Well, eventually TnT started talking about one prediction in particular that Nostradomus ha made that related heavily to Tuesday’s attacks. I can’t remember the exact wording of the prediction but when it was read on the air, it was certainly very, very eerie.

As they continued to discuss it, other callers checked in who had seen television shows, movies or who had read books on Nostradomus and elaborated further on the prediction. In a stoke of genius (I can’t believe I’m saying this either), Donnie mentioned something that I had never thought of before and it made complete sense. He asked something to the effect of why Ben Laden couldn’t have been a fan of Nostradomus’s work and therefore planned the terrorist attack to coincide with the dates and references made in the prediction. “Maybe he was just following the script.” The discussion made for an interesting end to the show.

Well, that’s the update today. Tune in from 5:30am to 10am tomorrow for another show and then check back here in the afternoon for the update. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
