Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Tuesday 2-5-02

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by talking about last night’s dodge ball game. The Todd and Tyler Traveling Dodge Ball All Stars viciously pounded their Ralston competitors in a 6-1 victory. Around 2000 people turned out for the event and more than $4000 was raised for the Ralston Curtain Raisers, the drama club. The guys seemed very pleased with the crowd, as it was the largest they’ve played in front of yet, but wished that they would have had more love from the spectators. TnT said that nearly everyone in the gym seemed to be rooting against them and for the teachers, a phenomenon they didn’t understand because if they were kids, they’d like to see their teachers get beaten. They also talked about how mouthy the crowd was, particularly the students and cheerleaders.

Brain came in and did the news early in the show, which lead TnT into several discussions about the stories he reported on. Those stories included a new smoking tax, the fetus-murder bill that is trying to be passed, saving old buildings downtown and the comment made by one of the protesters comparing the buildings’ impeding demolition with that of an oncoming terrorist attack, the mythical Omaha theme park that has been rumored for the last 10 years, and the very gross-looking faceless guy who appeared on CNN and the CBS news yesterday.

Also during Brian’s newscast was yet another Heartland Values KETV.com - News - Teacher Suspected Of Assaulting Students target=blank>story involving a Catholic schoolteacher here in town, 35-year-old Mike Florea. Brian reported on a story about a St. Vincent DePaul science teacher who was busted for allegedly inviting some of his 13-year-old male students to his apartment. Once there, he allegedly coaxed them into twisting one off into camera film containers while he watched by paying them $25 per shot.

After Brian’s report, TnT spent quite a bit of time discussing the story. They tried to figure out why Omaha has such a large quantity of freaky sex related stories compared to everywhere else that they’ve lived but were unable to come up with an answer. As they continued their discussion, they pondered why the guy had the kids do their deed into a film canister and finally concluded that it’s because the canisters are shot glass sized, a disturbing thought. Later in the show, Donnie was able to put about 1/2 of his penis into one of those film canisters as he and the guys attempted to figure out the logistics behind twisting one off into such a small opening, a bad visual that I curse them for putting in my head. Throughout the show, the conversation about weird sex in general and this story specifically continued on.

Talk of last night’s dodge ball game continued throughout the show as well. Many listeners who attended the event checked in and by their own accounts, they all had a great time. TnT were happy to hear that their game was spectator friendly and again mentioned the mouthy students and the lack of cheering for the Todd and Tyler team. Some of the players from the opposing team phoned in as well and were very pleased with the turnout and the fun that was had by all, even though they did get their asses totally waxed by the Todd and Tyler Traveling Dodge Ball All Stars. The guys also talked about the proclamation given to them by the mayor of Ralston stating that they were going to have a street named after them for 1 hour. Oddly, the date of this event is February 29^th, a date that doesn’t exist this year because it’s not a leap year. Due to the trickery performed by the Ralston mayor, TnT sent in their troops and physically took over the country of Ralston, as detailed by a very clever e-mailer several times during today’s program. The guys plan to turn Ralston into a big amusement park.

When Travis arrived he spent some time talking with TnT about the dodge ball game too. Attaboy participated in the event and from my vantage point, he was an amazing athlete, although when an e-mailer mentioned that, Donnie disputed Travis’s abilities. Trav and the Channel 3 crew pieced together a 3-4 minute segment for the 10pm news last night spotlighting the event. The guys appreciated the coverage and thought Travis did a great job putting things together. They also got lots of reaction from listeners who saw that broadcast. Speaking of Travis, he’ll be out of town until Friday covering a Creighton game in Indiana so Debra Ward from Channel 3 will be sitting in for him on the TnT show.

The guys spent a little time talking about a rescheduled Husker game that Travis reported on last night. One of the games has been moved to September 28^th and during his sportscast last night, Travis tongue-in-cheek mentioned that there will probably be some wedding dates affected by the move. Coincidentally, Tyler’s upcoming wedding in Pennsylvania is actually on September 28^th but he felt that the date change of the Husker game wouldn’t affect his wedding at all. He stated that because they’ll all be in Pennsylvania, the Huskers won’t be broadcast in any form in the area so the game wouldn’t be able to interfere with the wedding. From there, TnT took a couple of calls relating to wedding/Husker clashes but put an end to the discussion shortly after.

The new Todd and Tyler CD is a few months away from being released. As of now, the guys don’t have a cover for “Hairlip”. This morning, they asked all of their female listeners to participate in the cover creation in the form of a little contest. What the guys are looking for is a pair of really sexy lips (“DSLs”, as they described), good teeth, and a nice pink tongue. Over the next month or so, they are going to bring volunteers to the station and photograph their mouths and after they’ve collected enough, they’ll pick the best one and place it as the full front cover of “Hairlip”. Further details will continue to come so all of you ladies who think you’ve got a nice, sexy mouth, phone TnT to offer up your assets and you could make the cover of TnT’s next CD!

To wrap up the show, TnT had a discussion about the new fad energy drinks that are on the market. An article in today’s Living section talked about how people are mixing the energy drinks with various forms of alcohol. The man in the photo from the paper phoned TnT to tell them about how he was approached for the article and detailed the Red Bull and Vodka drink he ingested at the newspaper’s prompting. TnT stated that the understand the idea of energy drinks when it relates to working out or doing some physical activity but they don’t understand why anyone would want to be all jacked up on the caffeine-like drinks when they’re drunk at a bar. The whole concept of “buzz extension” seemed a bit odd to them, as did the thought of being wired while drunk. The went on to say that when they’re having a couple of drinks, they want to be relaxed and mixing an energy drink with alcohol would kind of defeat the purpose.

They received quite a few phone calls from people who have mixed their alcohol with such energy drinks and there was a mixed response. Some people loved it because of the feeling it gave them while others didn’t dig it because it either jacked them up too much or the taste was funky. The guys plan to ask Dr. Ed about the energy drinks, their contents, and their affects on the body when they speak with him next.

Well, that’s the big post dodge ball game daily update. It was a great show this morning, as always, and you should be all up to date now. If not (and how couldn’t you be after reading this fine update?), tune in tonight at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay. Make sure to rejoin TnT tomorrow morning at 5:30am for another show. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
