Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Wednesday 9-26-01

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by talking about the renaming of the War and how Travis could now name his soon-to-be-born child “Infinite Justice”, after the country’s scrapped name for the upcoming military strike. Also early in the show, TnT offered a moment of silence for their office coffee pot, which met it’s maker at some point this morning. The continuation of ”5 minutes with caller Chris”, a feature since Monday’s show, provided some humorous and interesting discussion about a variety of things in the news. Hopefully the feature will continue, as Chris is one of TnT’s best regular callers.

Very early in the show, Todd and Tyler expressed their displeasure with the Omaha World Herald. I believe Tyler who said, “The World Herald sucks donkeys” best expressed their displeasure. As many of us have heard in the past few weeks, TnT have been getting their paper late at the radio station ever since they changed their printing system. For the last 3 days in a row, the guys have had no paper at all before the show started. Another quality regular caller, Child Prodigy phoned them with his paper in front of him and filled TnT in on what they were missing.

The call from Child Prodigy spawned many others from listeners who had also received their papers and wanted to poke fun at TnT’s lack of paper-in-hand-ness. One of the funnier calls came from someone who received the paper even though it was not ordered. There were also reports from people getting this morning’s paper in small towns well outside the Omaha area, yet TnT, who work less than 100 blocks from the World Herald couldn’t get theirs on time. That knowledge only served to infuriate Todd and Tyler further. Donnie called to find out why they didn’t get this morning’s edition and ended up talking to a very rude customer service lady. By the end of the show, the paper had still not been delivered to the radio station. It will be interesting to hear whether or not TnT’s paper is there on time tomorrow. Make sure to tune in early.

Larry the Cable Guy checked in this morning and gave TnT a choice of commentaries to hear, one on Whoopi Goldberg and the other was an open letter to bin Laden. Thankfully, TnT chose not to hear the one about Whoopi and selected the open letter from Larry to bin Laden, which turned out to be quite funny. Stay tuned for more from Larry as the week progresses.

Unexplained quotes of the day: Todd said, “I’m 40 miles away. I’ve got my paper. Neener, neener, neener.” I like that one specifically for the “Neener, neener, neener.” Travis proclaimed, “You know who my first encounter with a dick was?”

The guys spent a great deal of time talking about famous people who are dicks today. This came about after Donnie had tried to get Terry Bradshaw on the phone to discuss a recent book he wrote. Terry wouldn’t go on the air with TnT because he felt it was inappropriate due to the attacks in New York and DC two weeks ago. Tyler was a bit bummed to hear that Bradshaw wouldn’t go on the phone with them because Tyler grew up as a huge fan of Bradshaw in the NFL. TnT spent some time talking about other famous people they had met who had turned out to be dicks or, on the other hand, people who they were surprised to find were not dicks at all. They opened the phone lines and spent a majority of the remaining show taking calls from listeners who had stories about famous dicks and non-dicks they had met. There were far too many celebrities (and a few humorous non-celebrities) mentioned to detail. You’ve got to listen to the whole show folks.

TnT spoke with their comedian friend Mark Gross. He’s in town to visit his parents but is on his way to Sioux Falls to perform over the weekend. He spent a bit of time talking with TnT about recent TV appearances and shared a few “famous people who are dicks” stories as well. Mark will be back at the Omaha Funny Bone the week of the NU vs. Oklahoma game so you have that to look forward to. I’m sure he’ll be joining TnT in studio when the time comes.

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