Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Friday 11-22-02

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by discussing some brothas that were in their parking lot. Both TnT got a bit freaked out when the two were approached, separately, on their way into the office. After talking to the guys, though, they realized that they meant no harm and were just looking for the location of one of Z-92’s sister stations. From there, TnT spent some time talking about their evenings last night. Todd went to the Funny Bone and caught the Lewis Black show, which he said was awesome. He commented on the odd convergence of the Lewis Black crowd and the Medicine Hat crowd that came in after Lewis’s performance. Tyler went to a going away party for sales weasel Dan, which came up again in a later conversation when Dan phoned the show. Tyler also mentioned he saw Emenem’s mother on TV last night. The gang commented on how hideous the woman looked and debated whether or not anything she had to say during last night’s interview was valid.

Also early in today’s show, the guys spent some time talking about a story they saw on KM3 last night. It was about a woman who works for Mutual and how she’s having a tough time getting her insurance company, Mutual, to pay for a new artificial leg. TnT discussed the pinheads of middle management over at the big insurance company, both astonished at the irony of the situation. Some calls from listeners with bitches about the insurance company came in, everyone agreeing that insurance in general seems to be the biggest scam out there. Later, the husband of the woman phoned in and offered up further details on their dilemma, followed even later in the program by a call from the lady herself. All in all, it seems that the woman is getting screwed by her insurance company/employer and there’s not much they can do about it.

BW came in with the news today and started off his newscast a bit on the bitchy side. Todd simply asked BW what sort of meeting he had last night, which kept BW from attending Dan’s going away party and the Lewis Black show at the Bone. BW snapped at Todd, rudely and angrily stating that it was none of his business. After a deep breath, Brian settled down and went into his report. One of the subjects broached this morning was a story about a runaway Kansas City teenager who is believed to be in Omaha. Her parents, searching for her as we speak, believe she met an older man on the Internet and ran away to hook up with him. TnT talked about what the two might do when the child is found and the man is busted for harboring a minor. It was pretty funny stuff.

Also during the news, the guys talked about the porn star who plans to survive for a month by eating nothing but banana smoothies and ‘’man juice’’, information available to those over 18 at www.manjuicediet.com. They plan to interview her soon so we have that to look forward to. From there, the gang discussed some wacky Muslim rioters who killed 100 people after a newspaper article claimed that the prophet Muhammad would probably have liked the Miss Universe contest. BW then wrapped up his newscast with a story about a man who had some strange disease that caused the doctors to skin his throck and sack completely, imbedding his nads into his leg while they waited for a new sack to be donated.

Following the news, TnT spent a little time reading over an internet article that described people’s sexual identity based on the first letter of their first name. Brian read over the description for those whose names start with ‘B’, ‘T’, ‘M’, and a few others. They then phoned the spouses of a listener or two and read their particular letter’s description as well. Within one segment, though, TnT decided that the whole list was way too much like a horoscope and decided to put an end to their conversation. If you’d like to see where you fit, I believe the web site the article came from was FunOFun.com - World's Best Greetings, Fun Pages, Funny Pics and Family Fun!.

Larry the Cable Guy checked in this morning and delivered a commentary on how he doesn’t like the ‘’What Would Jesus Drive’’ bumper stickers. More from Larry next week so stay tuned.

As mentioned earlier, there was a big going away party for sales weasel Dan last night. Well he phoned in this morning after 7am on his way home from that party. He and a friend were in his buddies car and used their On-Star system to phone the show, as both of them had lost their cell phones somewhere in the night. Dan talked about the party at the Anchor and described ending up at the Hell’s Angels clubhouse before heading back to the Anchor. TnT wondered whether Dan’s girlfriend would be pissed at him for staying out so late and asked him to call back when he arrived home. He did just that and TnT spoke to his girlfriend. She seemed like she was pretty cool but there also seemed to be a hint of ‘’I’m pissed at him’’ in her voice.

Todd and Tyler spoke to animal genius Jack Hannah this morning. He recently returned from Antarctica, in search of penguins, and told TnT about his upcoming trip to Africa to find some cave elephants, followed up by a trip to South America. He talked about some of the places he’s been and strange animals he’s seen, as well as discussing some places he won’t go because of their unsteady political systems. Right now, Jack’s TV show appears in 67 countries so TnT asked if he ever gets recognized overseas and how he deals with that. It was another great Jack Hannah interview that will surely end up on this weekend’s ‘’Best Of’’ so if you missed it today and you don’t get the chance to catch Sunday night’s 3^rd Shift Replay of this morning, tune in Saturday. By the way, Jack will be appearing on Letterman with some naked mole rats on Tuesday night and you can also catch him on Fox Saturday mornings for his Wild Adventure program.

Susan Zirinsky, executive producer of CBS’s ‘’48 Hours’’ spoke to Todd and Tyler this morning about the program that will air tonight. They’re doing a story on a Georgia woman that disappeared and whose friends accused her husband of being responsible. Her husband turned out to be a great father to the couple’s kids since the mother’s disappearance and many are finding it hard to believe that he could have had something to do with her death. Susan discussed how the police found the body and how an aggressive prosecutor that took him to trial but wouldn’t give up any of the details of the trial’s turnout. You’ll have to watch CBS tonight to find out how it all worked out.

Trav came in with the sports report today and after reading over his stories, he gave us his Lock and Saint of the Week. He selected Missouri at home getting 14 ½ against Kansas State for his Lock and this week’s Saint is Saint Bartholomew, the patron saint of twitching.

BW returned later in the show with the entertainment report. Before he began, the guys read an e-mail from a female listener who thinks BW has been wining a lot lately. TnT analyzed her thoughts for a bit and then brought in a lady from the hallway to see if she agreed with the e-mailer. BW then played it up rather nicely by wining through a couple of e-news stories.

During the e-news, TnT received a phone call from Lewis Black. He talked with the guys about last night’s show at the Funny Bone, including the second show of the evening performed by J Medicine Hat, who Lewis really seemed to enjoy. He also talked with the gang about his holiday plans, which include a trip to Italy as he avoids eating the ‘’Multiple Sclerosis turkey’’ his mom prepares. Lewis will be back in town in February for another Funny Bone visit, at which time he’ll rejoin Todd and Tyler on their show.

Well, that’s it for the Friday update. Remember to tune in on Sunday night at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay of today’s show and make sure to rejoin the guys on Monday morning at 5:30am as they kick off a new week of broadcasting. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
