Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Thursday 1-23-03

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by talking about the weather. More specifically, they commented on how irresponsible it is of the local TV weather people to tell everyone not to leave the house when it gets cold. By spouting out such advice, TnT are of the opinion that the weathermen actually hurt local businesses like the Funny Bone who thrive on people getting out and about. TnT told people to ignore the panic mongering weather geeks, put on a coat, flip on the car heater, and go do things.

The guys then read an e-mail from a listener filling them in on the activities of one West Point teacher that seems to hate them. Evidentially, the teacher has been making a stink about TnT’s dodge ball visit tonight. She claims that the Todd and Tyler show conflicts with the school’s 6 counts of character. The e-mailer mentioned two of the counts of character but bla bla bla’d the rest. To find out what the other counts of character for West Point’s school are, TnT phoned their old PD Bruce Patrick, a West Point grad, who is now living in Tennessee. He had no idea who the teacher they were discussing was and didn’t know any of the 6 counts of character either. The guys then talked about Bruce’s move and found out that he cut off the Mullet of Doom. A moment of silence for the Mullet, please. Thank you.

BW came in with the news shortly after the guy’s conversation with Bruce. During his report, the gang had a lengthy conversation about smoking. From the sounds of it, the Lincoln lawmakers are planning on banning smoking from restaurants. Although there wasn’t any real argument between the guys, the conversation lasted quite a while. Everyone analyzed the different points of view on the smoking issue and talked about ways of quitting and their effectiveness.

With their dodge ball game in West Point tonight, the guys spent some time taking calls from the locals who will be attending the match. The West Point dance team checked in and yelled for TnT, some listeners checked in with some smack, and there was also talk about the advanced tickets that have been sold for tonight’s game, which number over 1000. They also received a call from a listener who made up a poster for TnT to help promote the event around West Point. As the guys looked at the poster the listener sent them, they spent some time analyzing each other’s facial features. It was pretty funny.

A little later in the show, a listener sent TnT a link to a web site that allows you to calculate how much money you spend on booze, smokes, and drugs. For fun, TnT filled out the site and got back their totals. Todd’s was a bit higher because he smokes and Tyler doesn’t but both of the guys felt that it absolutely sucks when you sit down and think about how much money gets blown on beer and stogies each year.

During the news, BW mentioned something about how he thinks all homeless people should put their kids up for adoption. TnT didn’t agree with his stance because they realize that there are a lot of good people out there who are just a paycheck or two away from being homeless. Compiling today’s statement by BW with yesterday’s, mostly racist in nature, the guys were disappointed to receive an e-mail from a listener who believes along the same line as BW. They read the poorly written e-mail and were saddened to see that ignorance and racism still run rampant in the heartland.

Todd and Tyler brought in Jessica Dol a little later to share a story about a recent outing she had with Sean Gnandt from the Funny Bone. The two went out to a movie, with some other people I believe, and afterwards Sean drove her home. He told her he was going out to another place after dropping her off but didn’t know where it was. Jessica, who has had a little bit of a crush on the comic, invited Sean up to her place to ‘’look at a map’’. Evidentially, ‘’look at a map’’ is code for ‘’Come do me you Blue’s Clues looking fireplug!’’ Well, Jessica’s signals went totally over poor Sean’s head. TnT commented on Sean’s lack of sexual insight for a bit but without having him in studio to rail in person, it just wasn’t quite as fun. Instead, they spent a few moments talking with Jessica about what it was like to nail Jeremy. ‘’He’s fine’’, said Jessica referring to Jeremy’s in-the-sack abilities.

Travis came in a little later with today’s sports report. There’s not a lot to say about today’s report other than to mention that Travis drives a Maxima, he received 4 bottles of expensive Gin for Christmas, and there was a lot of talk about Samoans of the throwing variety.

Ahzeem from the Funny Bone joined TnT in studio a little later in the show. Being a Muslim, albeit a brotha from St. Louis, Todd and Tyler spent some time talking with him about the wacky fundamentalists that have caused his religion a little bit of a public relations nightmare recently. He explained the differences between the terrorists and himself, cleared up some misnomers about Muslims and their believes, and also discussed some of the troubles he’s run into while traveling. A little later, the guys talked about penis powder with Ahzeem, which I believe Brian said he has tried (the penis powder, not the comedian). Also during his visit, Ahzeem shared a hilarious story about donating blood years ago. He said that several months after donating blood, he was sent a card in the mail telling him his blood type. Having forgotten that they were going to be sending him the card, when he received it he was a bit stunned to see ‘’A Positive’’ on it. He thought for a moment that the ‘’A Positive’’ meant he was positive for AIDS. Do yourself a favor and get out to the Funny Bone this weekend. Call 493-8036 for reservations.

BW returned later in the show with today’s e-news segment. During that time, Todd and Tyler played a few clips of their classic bloopers for Ahzeem, which he really seemed to get a kick out of. They also stumbled across a few other classic TnT moments, such as the Zee Gees stuff, and played a few of those as well. And before wrapping up today’s program, the gang talked about TV series spin-offs and Screech’s huge hog.

Well, that’s it for today’s update. Remember that the Todd and Tyler Traveling Dodge Ball All Stars are headed to West Point tonight. If you’re in the area, try and stop by. Also, keep in mind that this morning’s show will re-air tonight at 10pm as the 3^rd Shift Replay. TnT will be back tomorrow at 5:30am for the Friday program so don’t miss it. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
