Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Tuesday 9-10-02

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by reading over some hate e-mail. One was directed towards Todd, referring to him as a ‘’bubbling idiot’’ as well as referencing his pot use. It made Todd giggle. The next e-mail was from a guy who hates Tyler and hammered him for the Steelers loss last night. The author, some guy named Jeremy from the OWA, has written in before and from the sounds of it, he hasn’t increased his intellect at all. TnT also spent some time talking about last night’s MNF game at Brewsky’s. They both seemed pleased not only with the turnout, but with the bar itself. Everyone had a great time they all seemed happy that the smoke eaters at this year’s venue worked.

Brian came in with a news report. One story talked about at length was how a judge has shut down the possibility of a vote on the video slots idea. TnT found it rather silly that two groups of hypocrites have worked together to basically screw the state of Nebraska out of possible gambling revenue, keeping it in Iowa. They then moved on to talk about 9-11 anniversary overload and pointed out that they don’t like how the local TV news stations are reaching for local angles to the tragedy in order to increase their ratings.

The gang then got into a lengthy discussion about the Shriners, pondering whether or not there are any black men allowed in the cult-like organization. They took some phone calls from the listeners who confirmed that there is a group of black Shriners in town and they also got a call from a Shriner who explained some of what the organization does, cryptically. As you might imagine, Brian scored quite a few American Asshole points during the discussion of black Shriners.

Speaking of people of color, Todd and Tyler got a call from one of their brotha callers they haven’t heard from in a while, Darnell. TnT asked Darnell why they haven’t heard from him and he responded by telling them that he had been locked up for the past three months. When asked why he went to jail, Darnell responded, ‘’Cuz the cops think there’s something wrong with a black man walking down the street with $9800 in his pocket.’’ Both Todd and Tyler got a kick out of his response and after some prodding as to why he had such a large amount of cash on him, they asked, ‘’Darnell, you make a dope deal?’’ His response was classic! ‘’’Bout 5 of’em.’’ I actually think I gave myself a hernia laughing about that.

As the news continued, the gang discussed a story about a fisherman who found a human head off the coast of Florida and opted to continue his day of fishing before bringing the head to shore and reporting his find to the authorities. They talked about the body that was found in the Missouri River recently as well. There was also some talk about a story detailing a bird that was shot in the head with a blow dart and lived. From there, the guys got into a lengthy discussion about the environmental effects of global warming and talked about how neither of them believe global warming is that big of an issue. They pointed to the fact that the super volcano could explode at any moment and its effects would be more devastating than anything man could do.

Matt Higgins and Kelly Shattuck from the law firm of Cohen, Vacanti, Higgins, and Shattuck joined Todd and Tyler this morning. They took some calls later in their visit, mostly involving questions about custody and/or child support (one case where a man was nearly $30,000 behind!), but the early portion of their visit was spent talking with TnT about a few stories from the news. One involved some kids who died while riding in the back of their uncle’s truck. The other early morning topic was about a drunk woman named Blanche who was arrested for getting into a bleach ‘’water fight’’ with her 13 and 19-year-old sons after they wouldn’t get out of bed at 4am to help her clean. The other interesting story touched on involved a woman who left her two teenage daughters home alone for 8 days while she went around the country with he trucker boyfriend. Therefore, child abandoning truck driver banging whores became a topic of interest throughout today’s show.

The gang also talked about Higgins’ bad bicycle riding skills for a bit, joking that he was the one who ran over that Catholic bishop in the park recently. The guys will be back in a few weeks so start saving up your questions for them now. If you would like to get in contact with them before then, please call 345-7600 or visit them on the web at FATHERSRIGHTSLAW.COM.

Todd and Tyler spoke to comedian/actor Jim Breuer this morning. He’s appeared on SNL as ‘’Goat Boy’’ as well as staring in the pot lover’s dream movie, ‘’Half Baked.’’ TnT spoke to Jim about the creation of ‘’Goat Boy’’ and he told the guys he gets stoned in every city he visits and then goes to hang out at the local zoo. At some point in the past, that’s how ‘’Goat Boy’’ came about. He then detailed why he left SNL, which sounded like he was forced out because the writers wanted to focus on other actors on the show. Jim also detailed his daily pot use, sounding completely fried this morning when he talked to the guys, and said he often gets freebies from his ‘’Half Baked’’ fans that attend his show. Before letting him go, TnT asked Jim about his current projects which include some stuff for Comedy Central and a new stand-up tour that he’s kicking off here in Omaha at the Funny Bone on September 22^nd and 23^rd. Call the Bone Phone at 493-8036 for reservations today.

Travis came in with the sports report later in the program. Todd and Tyler got into a heated debate with Travis about KM3’s 9-11 coverage, as well as the local coverage from other stations. TnT don’t like how the local news stations are trying to find local angles on last year’s terrorist attacks, stating that they don’t care how it affected Rose on her porch in Blair. When the local news tries to be ‘’profound’’ TnT feel like their being false. Travis disagreed viciously, calling the guys ‘’heartless’’ and said the local angle is interesting and to a certain extent, necessary. The gang seemed to agree to disagree and Trav moved on to his sportscast. During that, TnT played some audio of Travis on the radio call of last night’s Nebraska State Golden Rods game.

Former Husker QB and current college football official, Clete Blakeman joined TnT in studio for a bit today. He discussed how he got the position as a ref, talked about how he won’t be officiating any Husker games, mentioned he’s going to be working the KU game this weekend, and also commented on a recent article about him from the paper.

Biker hottie Rozz and Steve from the Fish Heads stopped by late in the show to inform the TnT listeners that they will be giving away their last Harley of the summer at the Anchor Inn on Saturday. The event, a poker run, begins with a 10am registration and will wrap up with the bike giveaway later in the day. The Fish Head and 3D will be playing rain or shine so make sure to head on out to the Anchor for the festivities. For further information, you can phone 960-0206.

To wrap up the show, BW returned to the studio with an entertainment report. He began by falsely reporting the death of Canadian rocker Gordon Lightfoot, to which TnT verbally scolded him. The gang also discussed how the character Joaquin Phoenix played in ‘’Signs’’ was anally raped by a sleestack with a baseball bat during that movie’s pitiful conclusion. Donnie and BW provided the sleestack sound effects. BW then concluded the e-news with another Nebraska Sex Offender list.

Well that’s the Tuesday update. Tune in tomorrow for the Wednesday version of the program. The guys will most likely touch on the 9-11 anniversary, although they really didn’t give many details about what they were planning to do other than saying they’d try to do a regular show. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
