Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Wednesday 12-12-01

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by talking about how Crouch was bumped from the Letterman show last night. Travis mentioned it during his 5pm newscast but not everyone saw it because TnT got a couple of calls from people who stayed up late to see Crouch and were disappointed that he did not appear. Speaking of Trav, the guys spent a little time questioning the existence of Travis’s wife, as they haven’t seen her in about two years. Also very early in the show, TnT made a brief reference to yet another apposing morning show that they’re about to blow off the air. The guys talked a little bit about Brian’s convoluted trivia question that came up towards the end of yesterday’s show and read the actual answers to the question, most of which they had already figured out. Todd and Tyler’s new Husker Virus warning sound effect made its debut on this morning’s program as well and was set off several times throughout the show.

Zack, a.k.a. Ass Cancer the Elf, was at the Krispy Kream off of 120^th and Center this morning collecting toys and cash donations for Stuff the Chub. He checked in throughout the show to give TnT a progress report on the collections and as the show progressed, TnT started calling him AC for short. He will be at the Zany Brainy off of 78^th and Dodge Street continuing the collections this afternoon from 4 to 6pm and will join DJ Pussy Puss in further collections tomorrow during the TnT show.

During Brian’s newscast, which was full of dead puppy stories today instead of dead kid ones, he read a list of the top 10 most stolen cars in the country. Surprisingly, Brian had the full list in front of him so Todd and Tyler didn’t have to spend a half our guessing the answers like they did with yesterday’s double Oscar nomination question. The list, coupled with phone calls and discussion about various news items made today’s newscast to one of the longest newscasts in recent months. It spanned a 59-minute time period and it was awesome!

TnT spoke with Tammy Pescatelli this morning. She phoned them from the Chicago airport and was headed to Omaha to play the Funny Bone with Dom Irrera this weekend. She told TnT about tonight’s open microphone night in which anyone can get on stage and try their hand at being a stand-up comic. Call the Bone Phone at 493-8036 for reservations or to reserve your spot for open microphone night.

From Maxim Magazine, TnT spent some time discussing a list of the 50 greatest Americans of all time. They read through each name and discussed the validity of that person appearing where they appeared on the list. For the most part, TnT seemed to agree that all of the men mentioned were indeed great Americans. As they read through the article, they noticed that there weren’t any women listed. From there, TnT spent some time trying to come up with their own list of great American women. To avoid getting just a bunch of hot chicks, they put a stipulation on the suggestions that they came up with as well as the ones that their callers checked in to suggest. The woman couldn’t have posed nude at any point. They took quite a few phone calls from ladies who shared their ideas about great American women. Humorously, a handful of the suggestions that came in weren’t even American women.

When the paper finally arrived to the TnT studio this morning, the guys read an article about a recent fight at a Young Republicans meeting at a bar called DJ’s Dugout. It seems that after someone from the ACLU spoke at the meeting, a fight broke out. This is the second fight at a Young Republicans meeting lately that has had to be broken up by police officers. Anyway, Tim from the ACLU phoned in and gave his firsthand account of what took place. After that TnT spent some time having fun at the expense of drunken Young Republicans before moving on.

Larry the Cable Guy checked in this morning. Before he began his commentary, Larry the Cable Smoker got on the line and sang a couple of gay Christmas carols for the real Larry, who didn’t seem to care for them too much. Larry’s commentary this morning, a pretty good one at that, was about the American who was caught while fighting for the Taliban. Tune in as the week progresses for more from Larry the Cable Guy.

TnT spoke with the coach of the Creighton Blue Jays, Dana Altman today. Their game against the Huskers is going to be broadcast tonight on Channel 3 and Travis Justice will be doing the play-by-play. The guys discussed the matchup and a variety of other basketball related things with the coach, as well as talking about Travis’s position in the booth. Tune in to Channel 3 this evening and watch the Blue Jays spank the Huskers.

The guys spent some time discussing ugly babies for a while late in the show. The discussion came about after someone mentioned a commercial for the new all women network called Oxygen. The commercial shows a bunch of babies in a hospital tossing off their pink skull caps and raising their fists as a jazzed up version of “I Am Woman” plays in the background. The guys talked about all woman networks, which they have no problem with because those networks help them get a better idea of what women might be thinking about. They also discussed the ugly baby phenomenon and ways to find out whether babies are boys or girls without using the term “it” to describe the child during their inquiries about the baby’s sex. It was a pretty funny conversation to begin with and continued down that path after a caller pointed out that all babies look like Winston Churchill before they hit the cute stage.

As TnT wrapped up the program today, Todd mentioned that he had received a Christmas gift from his somewhat estranged sister. After 5 or so years of not talking with her much, they seem to be on better terms lately. They are on such good terms, in fact, that Todd’s sister mailed him a package of organic pancake batter and a little bottle of syrup as his Christmas gift this year. Everyone seemed to get a kick out of the whacked present and that spawned a discussion about the worst gifts you’ve ever received. They took a few calls and shared their own stories for a while before drawing the show to a close. It is quite possible that the bad gift topic will come up again on tomorrow’s show so if you have a tale to share, give the guys a call tomorrow.

This afternoon, AC the Elf will be at the Zany Brainy located on 78^th and Dodge Street collecting new, unwrapped toys and cash donations for the Stuff the Chub campaign. Stop on out and see him if you get the chance. If not, you can catch him and DJ Pussy Puss tomorrow during the TnT show continuing the collections. Tune in early tomorrow to find out where they’ll be collecting.

Well, that’s the big Thursday update. Tune in this evening at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay and join Todd and Tyler tomorrow at 5:30am for another show. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
