Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Tuesday 12-11-01

Todd and Tyler stared off their show this morning by playing CDNOW target=blank>Supertramp’s “Give A Little Bit” in response to the plethora of GAP ads on the TV lately that are using the tune. The commercials seem to be driving both of them nuts. The guys discussed the various artists singing on the commercials for a bit and talked about which ones they thought did a good job and which ones they felt weren’t. They also read over a few hate e-mails from listeners bitching at them for a variety of reasons. One claimed that the only reason they took part in the anti-Felps protest last Friday was for publicity, another e-mailer was upset with TnT for their Husker talk. TnT also played a hate call that was recorded recently where the caller complained about his kids hearing the TnT show. During his call, he also threatened to turn TnT into the Federal Communications Bureau, which the guys found rather amusing because as far as they are aware, that agency doesn’t exist in the United States. After hearing all of the hate in the early segments of the show, the guys brought things up a bit by announcing that their newest CD, “Wood Eye” has maintained the #1 sales slot at local Homers stores for the second week in a row.

Brian’s newscast was full of dead kids again this morning. Actually, I think this morning’s news had the most dead kid stories of any other show to date. It started off with a story about the trial of the Iowa woman who left her kid in the back of her van while she went to work. Then he did a story about the woman who killed all 5 of her kids in Texas. To wrap up the news, he did a story about a 60-year-old babysitter who had a heart attack and fell over, crushing a 5-week-old baby to death. I believe that brought the grand total of dead kids to 7 this morning. After the news, TnT took quite a few phone calls from listeners talking about the various dead kid stories. Other callers wanted to discuss the hate call TnT played earlier in the show about the guys raising other people’s kids.

Todd and Tyler spoke with future Hall of Famer Jerry Rice of the Oakland Raiders this morning. They spent some time talking about his career in the NFL with the 49ers and the Raiders; they touched on the current season, staying in shape as one of the older players in the NFL and how he relates to the younger players. They also discussed what an ass http://www.vikings.com/Players/RandyMoss.htm” target=blank>Randy Moss of the Vikings is. Currently Jerry is selling a new candy for kids called http://www.formula127.com/” target=blank>Jerry Rice’s Playmakers candy that is available at AMATEUR WIVES - Amateurs // Nude Amateurs // Amateur Gangbang. Even though there was a slightly annoying echo due to some technical glitches during the interview, it was still very cool to hear TnT with Jerry Rice. Hopefully the interview will end up on a Best Of show in the near future so stay tuned.

DJ Pussy Puss and Slave Boy Zack were at the 75^th and L Street Runza this morning collecting toys for the Stuff the Chub campaign. Throughout the show, the pair checked in to report on the progress of donations. The two will also be at the 76^th and Dodge Street Toys “R” Us location this afternoon from 4pm to 6pm collecting new, unwrapped toys and cash donations. Stop on out and see DJ Pussy Puss and Zack Mehoff today.

Kevin McKenzie from the Great Plains Counseling Center came in this morning and hung out with TnT for a few hours. A majority of the discussions today revolved around dealing with families and the holiday season. As we’ve all recently come to know, Travis has some issues with his family, which lead him to avoid them completely during the holidays. This morning he told the guys that he’s taken ½ of his brain and jammed all the bad memories from his youth there, leaving the other half of his brain as the part he uses now. Kevin thought that was a bit self destructive but Travis seemed to swear by his method of denial and repression.

Another interesting topic during Kevin’s visit came about after a caller checked in and said his current girlfriend and ex-wife have become friends. The caller was uncomfortable with the situation because he figured the two ladies were swapping stories back and forth about him. From there, Todd and Tyler spent some time talking about various dynamics of a girlfriend/ex-wife friendship, how such a relationship would work in regards to holidays and children, and various ways the man might be able to take advantage of such a situation and meander himself into a 3-some. Kevin will be back sometime in the new year so if you need some help just phone the Great Plains Counseling Center at 292-7712.

From the new Comedy Central show called “Beat The Geeks”, TnT spoke with http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_show...eks/tv.jhtml” target=blank>Paul Goebel, the designated TV Geek for the show. The guys got details on the creation and format of the show and talked about Paul’s career as a standup comedian. Throughout the interview, the guys tried to stump Paul with various obscure TV references but were unable to do so, as Paul knew the answer to every question they tossed at him. He even knew “Auto Man”, one of Donnie’s questions about a short-lived TV show in the 80’s (I’ve been trying to remember the name of that show for years!). Paul was pretty cool and seemed to play along well with Todd and Tyler. There are 65 episodes of “Beat The Geeks” ready to be aired so tune in to Comedy Central at 6:30pm each night for a new one.

Frank DeFord was supposed to phone TnT this morning but blew them off. It really didn’t seem to matter much to TnT though because they spoke with Frank about a month ago about his new book already. Perhaps the guys will reschedule Frank in the future. Until then, feel free to search the TnT show archived daily updates for details on his last conversation with TnT.

After their discussion with the guy from “Beat The Geeks”, TnT spent some time discussing geekish things they do. Todd had quite a few geekish activities that he admitted to including his days as a speech team junky, fishing, and his love for weather knowledge. Donnie is, of course, a wrestling geek and he also said he used to dig building models but now that he’s an adult, he doesn’t have the time. Kevin McKenzie said he used to be good at pinball in college. Brian, well, Brian’s just a freak any way you look at it. His geekish thing was the fact that he doesn’t like to wear pants. Yep, he hates these pants! Tyler seemed to have the least amount of geekish things in his life. The only really geeky thing Tyler is known for among the members of the show is being an information/entertainment knowledge junky. He knows damn near everything there is to know about music and has either read an article or saw a TV show about pretty much everything you’d ever want to know about. That’s not really geeky but he couldn’t come up with anything else. Jessica Dol came in studio towards the end of the discussion and said that her geekish activity is putting together jigsaw puzzles.

During the entertainment report, Brian asked TnT to answer a question he saw on Jeopardy yesterday. The question was who has been nominated for an Oscar twice for playing the same character in different movies? There were a few problems with his question, though. First of all, he wasn’t sure he had the question correct. Brian couldn’t remember if the Jeopardy question was asking about nominated people or people who had actually won the Oscar. Secondly, he couldn’t remember the 4 possible answers. The whole gang tried to come up with the four actor’s names for about a half hour. Callers checked in as well and that really seemed to piss Donnie off. Donnie was pissed because without knowing the answers for sure, there really wasn’t much point in the callers checking in with their guesses. He flew off the handle at Brian a couple of times for opening the can of worms, which was quite amusing, before he gave up on answering the phones completely in a fit of rage. I believe TnT finally figured out the answers to the question and moved on.

To wrap up today’s show, TnT spent a little time talking about an article in the paper about Dr. Ed. The article was about how Dr. Ed is moving out of town and discussed his career here in Omaha, including his time with Channel 7 and his bi-weekly appearances on the Todd and Tyler show. As they read the article, TnT were amused at some of the quotes Dr. Ed gave, which included two “bullet to the head” references. The guys thought those references alone were obviously a nod to Dr. Ed’s time spent with TnT. It was a pretty cool article. Unfortunately, in doing a search for “Dominguez” on Omaha.com, I was unable to locate the article for your viewing pleasure.

Well, that’s the big Tuesday update. Tune in tonight at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay and then listen tomorrow from 5:30am to 10am for another show. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
