Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Monday 6-10-02

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by discussing their weekends. They held the big Lewis Vs. Tyson Pay-Per-View part at the Ice House on Maple Street on Saturday night and had quite a bit to say about the event throughout most of their show. They were pleased at the huge crowd, the Ice House having to turn away people at the door, and didn’t seem too surprised that nearly 90% of those who attended were dudes. TnT discussed the crowd support for both Lewis and Tyson, support that changed in later rounds. From the beginning, TnT were rooting for Lewis while others at their table chose Tyson. As the fight went on, they had fun taunting their friends like Black Tony who got progressively more depressed as Tyson took the beating of his life and lost the match in the 8^th round.

The guys seemed surprised at the support for Tyson and wondered why so many people were cheering him on considering he hasn’t done much in the past 10 years, with the exception of losing his stinking mind, raping women, going to jail, and biting the ears off of his opponents. After asking why so many in the ‘’brotha’’ community liked Tyson to win the fight considering both fighters were black, they opened up the phone lines and took calls throughout the show. The only real explanation that seemed to hold any milk was that Tyson’s bad-boy persona drew in the ‘’brothas’’ and that Tyson seemed more like a ‘’brotha’’ than the British Lennox Lewis.

Another big topic that dominated the discussion today was that of the Huskers making it to this year’s CWS. Over the weekend, the guys heard some of the radio coverage of the Husker baseball game and were quite disappointed in the quality coming out of the broadcast booth. Many times during their show, they commented on the homer broadcasting and reenacted the home runs they heard, as called by the Husker homer announcer. There was a home run that ended, I believe, the second game by the Husker’s opponents. That home run was actually a bottom of the 9^th bases loaded grand slam, which should have gotten a better reaction out of the booth considering it’s impact on the outcome. Instead, the reaction was basically something to the effect of, ‘’Oh, well, um, there’s a home run. Game over. We’ll be back tomorrow.” TnT found that homerism utterly ridiculous. Then on the following day, the announcer when ballistic when a Husker knocked one out of the park and won the game.

The guys then spent some time talking about something that they heard after the Husker win which, as they described it, wraps up exactly why they hate blinded Husker sports fans. The announcer said that the Huskers taking on Clemson in the CWS this year would give them a chance at redemption for the ’82 Orange Bowl loss. What?! They couldn’t believe what was said and spent some time this morning talking about that idiotic statement, described once again that baseball and football are apples and oranges, and then opened up the phone lines. Many listeners checked in with their own stories of hearing the games over the weekend as well as their own encounters with clueless Husker baseball fans.

Brian came in and did the news this morning which consisted mostly of talk about those who fish with their hands and mothers who shoot and kill their mentally deteriorating children to death. After Brian concluded his report, Donnie came in with a very disturbing ‘’Me and my buddy JC’’ story. It really didn’t fit into anything else that the guys were talking about but after hearing it, I’m glad Donnie shared the tale. Now I don’t feel so weird for some of the strange things I’ve done in my life. Anyway, the story goes as follows. Donnie’s single buddy JC had been feeling sick and one day while at home, he popped in a porno, dropped his pants and sat down on his couch to twist one off. As he finished his mission in the Eastern hemisphere, he released that all was not quiet on the Western front. Yes, a sneak attack by a massive amount of liquidy funk exploded in the Western hemisphere and ruined his couch. There’s not much more to say about the story other than after JC waddled to the shower and jumped in fully clothed, he had to throw the couch out.

The guys continued discussing Husker baseball as the show moved on. Along with talk of the Husker baseball team and the CWS, TnT mentioned some more Husker-related happenings they heard about over the weekend surrounding Eric Crouch. The guys heard that Crouch had autographed some of those old people scooters while at an event and now the scooters, called ‘’Husker Pride Scooters’’ are being auctioned off. TnT used this as yet another opportunity to tell Eric Crouch that he has the ability to say ‘’No’’ to things. Admittedly, TnT said that they are big whores once in a while but even they know when to turn down something. Travis came in and disagreed with them, saying that Eric just has a big heart, but TnT didn’t seem to buy Attaboy’s argument. Later in what seemed a gesture of good will towards Crouch, TnT offered to arrange a back-up band for him if he would be willing to come to the upcoming reopening of Omaha’s 10^th Street Bridge and sing his ear piercing version of ‘’Under the 10^th Street Bridge’’. Crouch’s highly anticipated acceptance call on the offer did not come in.

TnT spoke with Jack Daum of the Creighton Blue Jays today. As host team, Jack has already been busy with some of his responsibilities in relation to the approaching College World Series. He talked with TnT about being on the Board of Directors, dealing with the coaches, arranging practices and more. The guys asked Daum about the various teams and whom he felt would make it, Rice and Clemson seemed to be high on his list. TnT will be hearing more from coach Daum throughout this year’s CWS so stay tuned for more.

Larry the Cable Guy checked in this morning with a commentary dealing with the Kennedy cousin, Skakel and his conviction for a 27-year-old murder. I don’t really recall many of the details of Larry’s commentary because someone mentioned that Skakel had been twisting one off in a tree just before the murder occurred. I watched CNN over the weekend and I know what Skakel looks like. Mentally picturing that freaky man masturbating in a tree shut my mind down completely. Sorry for the lack of details. Tune in as the week progresses for more from Larry the Cable Guy on the Todd and Tyler show.

Mitch, Todd and Tyler’s ‘’What Would You Do’’ contest winner phoned the guys this morning with details of his trip to Memphis. From the sounds of it, he had a great time. He talked about the travel involved in getting to Memphis as well as some of the things he did once there. He went to Beale Street, a hopping party spot, he visited Graceland, hit the Hard Rock, went to a high school and met some famous boxers like Holyfield, and eventually made it to the Lewis/Tyson fight. TnT seemed quite pleased that Mitch not only had a good time, but also called them to thank the guys for the trip and share such great details about it.

Towards the end of the show, Brian came in with some late breaking news involving a possible al-Qaida linked man arrested in Chicago’s airport. Although he didn’t have many details at the time, there was mention of a dirty nuke involved. After the show, I’ve heard more on this and it turns out that the man is an American citizen who converted to Muslim while in prison. He was actually arrested back on May 8^th and has been turned over to the Pentagon to face the music with those bad-asses. So, no worries. There are no nukes in Chicago, but this guy’s going to get reamed by our military’s finest for his al-Qaida connections. Brian should have more info on the story during the news tomorrow so tune in.

Well, that’s it for the Monday update. Tune in tonight at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay and rejoin TnT tomorrow at 5:30am as they begin their Tuesday show. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
