Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Wednesday 8-28-02

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by reading over a couple of e-mails. They also discussed how droopy-eyed Brian seemed to be and speculated that must have ingested more than just tacos at Taco night in Bennington last night. From there, the guys went on to talk about how they’ve heard that the Huskers might be getting a little religious in the locker room. Both Todd and Tyler didn’t like the sounds of that and each pointed out several examples of sports teams that became bad when religious zealots infiltrated the locker room. TnT did point out that they really don’t have a problem with religion but stated that making it an issue among a group of people, such as a team, may cause some rips in the social fabric of that group.

Also early in the show, TnT discussed the edibility of amniotic fluid. Somehow that seemed to make the guys a bit hungry so Joe Blue House stopped by with some breakfast for them. TnT went on to read an e-mail from a listener who said he saw someone change around the letters in ‘’Sarpy’’ on their license plate sticker to read ‘’Prays’’. They pondered ideas for rearranging Lancaster and Douglas and got a couple of humorous suggestions from the e-mail as the show moved on.

BW then came in with the news and as he read each story, TnT discussed them. A pit bull ate yet another little kid so the guys spent some time revisiting their points of view on the killer dogs. TnT also seemed to think that the governor is ‘’waffling’’ a bit regarding his stance on gambling.

After Brian concluded the news, Todd and Tyler fired up their connection to Tyler TX and spent a couple of hours conversing with Dr. Ed. TnT and their listeners asked a variety of questions this morning concerning topics such as West Nile Virus, the difference between embalming fluid and formaldehyde, tingling feet, people who smell like burning caramel, baby yeast infections, and swallowing toothpaste. Dr. Ed’s visit with TnT lasted just under two hours, as Dr. Ed had to boogey out early to participate in some sort of research project this morning. Don’t worry, though. Dr. Ed will be rejoining TnT in a couple of weeks so start storing up your medically related questions now.

Travis came in with sports later in the show. Included in his sportscast this morning was his ‘’For What It’s Worth’’ commentary that aired on last night’s 10pm KM3 newscast. Trav covered the uniform change for the Huskers and how if they’d really like to make a difference, they should change their helmets, and followed that up with a thought about how Iowa State fans should not be happy in the outcome of their recent game against Florida State. Coming close to beating a great team isn’t good enough when you should have beaten them. He concluded by saying that CBS should hire Bill Clinton to do a talk show. If you would like to comment, you can leave Travis a voice mail by calling 593-2760 or send him an e-mail at travis@km3.com.

Larry the Cable Guy checked in this morning and delivered one of his strangest commentaries to date. He prefaced his commentary by saying that he was drunk when he wrote it and once he read it, that seemed to prove true. The commentary was actually a scary ghost story-type of tale about an Ed Koch-looking whore with two anuses full of beetle larva and flower stems that went around lighting farts and firing out butt biscuits like a double barreled shotgun. Keep in mind that Larry will be joining TnT in studio tomorrow so make sure to tune in.

At one point in this morning’s show, Tyler told the guys that he thinks he’s got a dead animal in his crawl space. He said that several months ago, Becky heard something bumping around up there but the noise eventually stopped and it was forgotten about. Just recently though, Tyler has noticed a spot on the ceiling of his walk-in closet and he suspects that whatever creature was making the noise a while ago has died and is rotting above where that spot on his ceiling now is. Tyler said that the spot has gotten a little bit darker lately and he wants whatever’s up there out. He offered to pay Donnie to come over and remove the dead animal, or whatever it is, and to everyone’s surprise, Donnie said he’d do it for Tyler and wouldn’t even charge him. Lets all anxiously await the report on exactly what died in Tyler’s house and has been rotting above his closet ceiling and exactly how our favorite neck producer removes it.

BW returned later in the show with the e-news. During that time, the gang got into a lengthy discussion about Brian’s superhuman tolerance to caffeine. Todd, Tyler, and Donnie tried to say that Brian’s claimed tolerance was a farce, while Brian tried to use an example to prove his point. In all honesty, I got completely confused listening to everyone’s points of view and have no idea how the discussion turned out. From there the gang moved on to discuss how Christopher Reeves’ wheelchair was removed from the film of the ‘’Superman’’ movie, how Russian cosmonauts should all get together and ass rape that boy band guy who’s going up with them, and about how ABC’s morning TV show is going to be stopping at the Nebraska State Fair on Labor Day. Everyone brainstormed ideas for signs that could be made using the ABC letters that might get put on TV. Some of the favorites were ‘’Another Baby Crouch?’’ and ‘’Another Bong-hit Charlie?’’

To conclude the show, Todd and Tyler spent some time talking with Brian about his new house. He recently moved from Springfield to Bennington and since his arrival in the new home, Brian has been noticing some strange things. He believes that his house is actually haunted. BW told the guys about getting a phone call on his cell phone while he was mowing that originated inside of his house. When he saw his home number on his cell, he answered it and heard about 10 seconds of silence before the phone was hung up. He swore he’d locked the doors and no one had access to his key so it must have been a ghost calling him. He went on to say that he had locked a door and the next day, he noticed it was opened again. Most recently, Brian said he was lying in bed in the basement just the other night and heard footsteps walking from one side of his house to the other.

TnT didn’t know quite what to believe, blaming Brian’s extended Taco-night party lifestyle (aka being a hammerhead every night) for his memory lapses and for hearing strange noises while fighting off bed spins. For the remainder of the conversation, spooky Halloween music set the tone in the background. Tyler occasionally raised the volume so Brian could hear the scary voices on the CD. They also took some phone calls from listeners, some sharing their own ghost story tales, others trying to offer theories for the disturbances BW has encountered. By the end of the show, everyone seemed to agree that either the ghost of Brian’s recently departed cist, Dodge County Duke, or Bennington Bob is haunting TnT’s news chick. I’m sure further details about Brian’s life living with a ghost will come out in due time so stay tuned.

Well, that’s it for the Wednesday update. Tune in tonight at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay of this morning’s show and make sure to rejoin TnT tomorrow at 5:30am for the Thursday edition. Larry the Cable Guy will be appearing in studio so there will be lots of ‘’sum’bitches’’ and Janet Reno references. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
