Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning playing an audio clip of a New York City fireman who appeared on stage at a concert to benefit the NYC tragedy on Saturday night. The program aired on VH1 and was opposite the Husker game so TnT speculated that not many people in this state were able to see the show. The fireman talked a bit about a few of the people in his ladder company who were lost in the terrorist attacks on September 11th and then he told bin Laden that he could kiss his ass. It was a great audio clip and TnT replayed it several times throughout this mornings show.
Brian returned after having taken the last week off for a trip to the Bahamas. When he came in to do the news, he talked a bit about his vacation. Unfortunately for everyones favorite lawn boy, Brian was sick through most of his trip. Evidentially, countless hours of sitting on a vibrating lawn mower going back and forth repeatedly hadnt prepared the news bitch for a little wave action on the high seas. Aside from the seasickness and an anthrax scare at the bus terminal, Brian said he had a great time and met some nice people. Oh, that anthrax scare? It turns out that some neck dropped a baggie full of headache powder on the ground. Obviously the larynx of your common red neck is so tiny that they are unable to ingest a freakn pill.
Tyler dropped a 7:05am F-bomb and made everyone giggle gleefully, including myself.
As with most Monday shows, Todd and Tyler spent a great deal of time today discussing the football games that took place over the weekend. Todd went to the Husker game on Saturday and because some old people decided to stay in Omaha for the Kingdom of Quevera crap, Todd was somehow able to get into the elitist Champions Club. He also mentioned that he stayed in the stadium for the Saturday game longer than he has stayed for any previous Husker game because it was actually an interesting, close football match. The guys continued talking about a variety of Husker-related issues as well as a plethora of other football topics when Travis came in and throughout the remainder of the show.
Although the Huskers were barely able to squeak by Texas Tech, that didnt stop the guys from offering up a $1000 guarantee that the Huskers will beat Oklahoma straight out this Saturday. Todd and Tyler explained how their listeners could register to win the $100 if the Huskers lose to Oklahoma. The idea is simple. Each morning the guys will play a short audio clip of a past Husker game. Then listen throughout the day for the sound of the former Huskers singing Oklahoma, as recorded on the Todd and Tyler show last year. The first 5 callers to get trough will be registered to win the $1000 if the Huskers lose. I believe they will also be registered to win the Husker Vs. Oklahoma tickets that TnT will be giving away on Friday morning. Stay tuned for your chance to get registered.
Unexplained quote of the day from Tyler: If I had to screw an M&M, itd be her.
Scottie from Husker Hounds came in this morning and hung out with TnT for a bit. He sounded a bit scratchy because of all the yelling he did at Saturdays game. The guys talked with Scottie about the Huskers as well as discussing how his shop does when the team loses or barely squeaks out a victory. Im sure Scottie will phone in or stop by the studio soon, although if the Huskers do lose to Oklahoma, all of Omaha might have to go on a state-wide search for him as he will probably be curled up in the fetal position in a basement somewhere with a Big Red noose around his neck.
Early in the show, Todd mentioned that his girlfriend phoned him and asked him to come and change a flat tire on 680 over the weekend because no one would stop and offer her any help. The discussion lead the guys into talk about Heartland values. For years, TnT have been discussing how the media portrays the people of Nebraska as better than anyone else. The whole concept of Heartland values and Heartland work ethics seems ridiculous to them because people are people no matter where you go. Heartlander or not, you can be a nice person or an asshole, just like you can if youre from a different geographical location. The guys took some phone calls from listeners with stories from the road that were similar to the tale of Todds girlfriends. Based on the calls TnT got this morning, there are no more nice people in the Heartland than anywhere else.
TnT will be joined by Kevin McKenzie from the Great Plains Counseling Center on tomorrows show. Hell be offering up some counseling to all of the Husker fans (himself included) that are worried about the upcoming Oklahoma game. Tune in tomorrow for Kevins visit.
Join Todd and Tyler at the Arena Sports Bar tonight for another edition of Monday Night Football. The guys will be doing their field goal kicking contest for prizes and the best seats in the house chairs and there will also be food and beer specials. Stop on out and see the guys tonight.
Well, thats the update for today. Tune in tomorrow from 5:30am to 10am for another show and then check back here in the afternoon for another update. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
