Friday 10-26-01
Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by welcoming their friend Black Tony to the studio. Hes been stopping by the station early on Friday mornings for some time now and this morning he brought in his costume for tonights Freakers Ball. Big Pussy was also with the guys today even though Donnie made his triumphant return to the program. Pussy mentioned that he has a date named Jill for the Freakers Ball tonight. Shell be going as a vampire and Pussy will be dressed as a priest. TnT phoned Jill several times this morning but were unable to reach her. Instead, they left her several voice mails as the nervous Big Pussy stood by.
A second Husker on TnTs Husker Lottery list, #55 Junior Togai was busted for domestic abuse after popping his girlfriend in the face. The guys discussed the crime before talking about the lottery picks that took place a while back. Travis, who originally picked the selections now labeled as Dodge County Duke picks in order to keep from getting his press credentials yanked by UNL, seemed to Todd and Tyler to have the inside scoop on which Huskers were bad asses. After all, two of his 5 picks have now been in trouble while none of the other guys picks have. Throughout the discussion, Travis seemed to dispute the fact that he actually took part in the Husker Lottery picks. I can only imagine he was doing so just in case anyone down in Lincoln happened to be listening this morning.
Coach Mike Hastings from the Omaha Lancers came by and hung out with TnT for a bit. The guys discussed their first few weeks on the road before moving into a conversation about the future of the Lancers. The hockey club will be moving out of the whole known as Aksarben and into a new arena over in Council Bluffs once this season concludes. Mike also talked about a variety of issues within the league including the competition, other arenas around the country, various aspects of coaching, his future as a coach and where he would like to end up and much, much more. They even discussed the house parent situation and how the decision is made as to which people are selected to host which player on the team. It was a great visit with the coooaaach this morning and its good to hear the Lancers are back in town. You can catch their season opener at Aksarben on Saturday night. I believe Big Pussy and the Freak are going to be broadcasting from the game. Stop on out and see the FreaknPussy and support your local Lancers!
TnT spoke with Erin Moriarty from CBSs 48 Hours. She talked about the episode airing tonight that is going to detail a story about a man who faked being a doctor multiple times. From her description, it sounded like a pretty interesting tale. TnT also talked to her about the media coverage of the World Trade Center tragedy as well as discussing the anthrax coverage. Erin said that she has been doing her fair share of reporting on such things and, oddly enough, tonights story about the whacked fake doctor was a nice change of pace for her. Tune in to CBS tonight if you are not joining Todd and Tyler at the Freakers Ball.
Mark Gross and Paul Weiss from the Funny Bone came by the TnT studio today. Paul didnt say too much today but Mark Gross joined in on the conversation throughout the show. The guys discussed a variety of things including the state of Rhode Island and Marks possible future appearances on Leno. Throughout his visit, Mark talked about the Huskers, as he is a UNL graduate and a big fan. TnT gave him a hard time about it but it didnt seem to bother Mark too much. At one point he was even able to shut down the old Nebraska Basher guy whos been calling TnT. Mark offered a rebuttal to one the Nebraska Bashers and basically shocked the old guy into pausing for 5 seconds and retorting with, Im a retard? It was great stuff and will most likely end up as the promotional announcement for the TnT show that will play throughout the weekend.
During his visit today Mark shared a very disturbing, yet hilarious story about a little accident he had while training for a marathon. Mark said that he had gone for a jog while in Miami after a night of tequila drinking. While on the run, he realized his ass was about to fall out so he tried to squeeze back the inevitable anal blast. At one point, he had to squat down and pretend to tie his shoe as he used the heal of his other foot to temporarily cork his bung. He continued his jog, mentally trying to coax his phoo back in, and as he approached a restroom in a park, a lady and her dog stepped out from somewhere. The dog suddenly barked and startled Mark, who proceeded to, decapitate the turtle head. Finally he made it to the bathroom where he took off his silky jogging shorts and flung the turd into the toilet. Then, he went to the sink, plopped his ass up under the faucet and began to wash off the marks the bouncing stink pickle had made on his cheeks as he concluded his search to find a bathroom. It was at that moment, ass in sink, penis-a-dangling, that a small Cuban boy walked into the restroom and saw Mark in the compromising position. The boy ran out of the bathroom, Mark hastily finished his butt cleaning process, placed his dripping wet, slightly smelly running shorts back on and then hauled ass out of there. u can catch more hilarious comedy of this nature at the Funny Bone all weekend. Call the Bone Phone at 493-8036 for reservations.
Attaboy Travis provided this mornings sports report and also named his selections for the Box and Lock of the week. He chose Boston College giving 3 to Notre Dame as his Lock. His Box of the Week, Mimi from The Drew Carey Show, was a total violation of the spirit of the Box. Todd and Tyler gave him a hard time about his selection and said that there is probably no one on the planet who finds Mimi attractive. Travis then tried to twist Mark Grosss comment about her, which was something to the effect of Shes not entirely hideous, into proving his argument that Mimi doesnt violate the spirit of the Box but it didnt seem to work. Shortly after Travis left for the day, he returned and reported that his car had been stolen out of the parking lot. After getting Slave Boy Jeremy and others all worked up and after accusations surfaced as to whether or not TnT had his car towed as a practical joke, Travis realized he had actually driven his wifes minivan to work this morning instead of his car. As Im sure you can imagine, the comedy guests as well as Todd, Tyler and Donnie had a little fun at Traviss absentmindedness.
The guys played another Husker clip of the day which you will need to know in order to qualify for their $1000 Huskers beating Oklahoma guarantee. If you heard it this morning, stay tuned to Z-92 throughout the day and listen for the audio clip of former Huskers singing "Oklahoma". Then, just be one of the first 5 callers and you'll qualify to win $1000 that TnT may be giving away on Monday if the Huskers do lose to Oklahoma. Also taking place this morning, the guys drew a name of the previous qualifiers and gave away a pair of Husker tickets to tomorrows game. The winner was a pretty cool guy named Mike Keenan. He said that he was planning on taking his uncle to the game if he won and promised that he wouldnt try to scalp the tickets.
