Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Monday 2-3-03

Todd and Tyler kicked off their show this morning by discussing the events of their weekends. Todd had the kids so other than a few trips to the Hy-Vee and spending all weekend working on a Creighton/Frankie Payne/Groundhog Day joke, he didn’t do a whole lot. Tyler went to the boats on Friday night and got hammered at the black jack table. He ended up winning some cash but his lovely wife Becky fell prey to the bells and lights of the slots and lost an equal amount to the 1-armed menace. Tyler then talked about buying a video camera, which led to a creepy yet hilarious discussion about whether or not Todd and Jeremy could get off watching a video of Tyler getting a Diekman if they knew it was his penis on the screen.

The guys also spent some time discussing the Columbia tragedy and the news coverage of the terrible event. They analyzed the history of the space program and their track record for perfection, went over the list of shuttles in our arsenal, and talked about the amazing technicality of the space program in general. TnT then took a call from Joe of Blue House who called to tell them about his Phoenix trip to see the Stones. He had more to say about his terrible hotel experience than the show itself. He was stuck in an unfinished room to begin with, and was later moved to a room with a naked fat man already in it.

BW came in a bit later in the show with the news. Before he began, he told TnT that he had a terrible weekend with the ladies and declared, ‘’I’m done’’ and later said women can ‘’kiss my ass.’’ TnT asked him to elaborate on his bad weekend but BW seemed reluctant to talk about his lady troubles on the air. Instead, he dove into this morning’s newscast. There was a ton of talk about NASA and the Columbia tragedy, the gang discussed the local cops that bonked each other while responding to a call. TnT also discussed the building blown up outside of the Creighton baseball stadium, there was some talk about the movies ‘’Zoolander’’ and ‘’Leaving Las Vegas’’ (which BW has been watching way too much lately), and Brian wrapped up the news with a great story about a Philippino penis-measuring contest gone horribly wrong.

After the news, TnT spent some time discussing a list of things that were popular during the ‘80s that any child of the ‘80s would remember. As they read through them, the discussed their memories of the various pop culture items mentioned. TnT also wondered what pop culture things that occurred in the ‘90s would end up on a list like this in the future. It seemed to them that there just weren’t as many culturally memorable things in the ‘90s. They opened up the phone lines, took calls, and received quite a few e-mailed suggestions from the listeners.

Travis came a bit later and spent some time talking about road kill with TnT. Look for Trav’s dead skunk of the day on KM3 soon. The guys also continued their Columbia and NASA talk from earlier in the show with Trav. When Attaboy got around to doing the sports, he and Todd got into a lengthy argument over Channel 3 going to the Furniture Mart to get crowd reaction to various events. TnT think it’s just a way for the TV stations to suck up to big $$ advertisers but Travis disagreed.

Somehow the guys got off on a strange tangent this morning that turned out to be quite interesting and very hilarious. I think they were giving BW a hard time for his women problems, which led to some talk about his time at the church of Father Bench Press, which then led to talk of cult-ish religious that speak in tongues. The guys wanted to know exactly what is going on when people speak in tongues and opened their phone lines for an explanation. A bunch of listeners then checked in with the historical and religious background to the phenomenon while others shared their stories about going to churches where people did speak in tongues. From the sounds of it, most of the callers who had seen this done didn’t buy into it.

As the tongue speaking conversation continued, the guys got a call from the son of a minister who, during his explanation of tongue speakers, said, ‘’When Christ, or whoever that guy was, died, bla bla bla’’. Another guy checked in with a great story about how a preacher tried to make him faint by laying his hands on his head. It didn’t work and the caller said he was thinking, ‘’What the hell was that?’’ Yet another caller said that those who speak in tongues are actually just spelling out the names of their various favorite cola beverages. As Todd and Tyler couldn’t get any caller to give them an example of what it sounds like when people speak in tongues, they used the cola method and spoke in their own tongues. And on the related religious note, there was a funny discussion about how at some black churches, people run up and down the isles of the church trying to catch the holy ghost and when they do, they bust out into tongues as well.

After their lengthy discussion about speaking in tongues, BW returned to the studio for the e-news. Before he began, Brian finally opened up and told Todd and Tyler of his terrible weekend with the ladies. He went into great detail describing the events that led to his worst weekend ever. To streamline it for you, one lady he was supposed to go out with never returned his call, another left ½ way during their date because of something Brian’s friend said. Yet another lady invited him over for an after-hours party and spent the rest of the night letting some other guy sleaze on her. There was one more story, the proverbial feather in the cap, but Brian wouldn’t tell it on the air. TnT heard it during the commercial break, though, and confirmed the story indeed made for the hat trick.

BW broke away from his sob story fir a while and did the e-news while Todd and Tyler talked about the stories. Also during this segment, Midget Brian called and said that because of his jammed finger, he can’t play dodge ball this week. TnT called him a puss and then talked him into reffing for them. We’ll get some more talk about this week’s dodge ball game tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, the father’s rights lawyers will be joining TnT so if you have legal questions relating to divorce, child custody, alimony, or anything along those lines, give the guys a call tomorrow.

Well, that’s it for the Monday update. Tune in tonight at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay of this morning’s show and make sure you rejoin TnT tomorrow at 5:30am for the Tuesday program. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
