Todd and Tyler Unauthorized Forums

Friday 3-7-03

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning by talking about last night’s dodge ball game at the Abraham Lincoln high school in Council Bluffs. The event, Todd and Tyler’s last dodge ball game of this season and of their careers, was a huge success. Close to 3000 people attended the game and watched TnT’s team of misfits win 4 to 1. With the exception of someone saying, ‘’Cut your hair, asshole’’ to Tyler, everyone was great. TnT spent some time talking about last night’s activities, which included Midget Brian riding in on a tricycle and Black Tony being ‘’released’’ by a guy dressed up like Lincoln. TnT brought in Jose from the Spanish speaking station down the hall and awarded him both of the Weak Ass Bitch wristbands for his performance. They understood his lack of dodge ball skills. After all, he’s a soccer guy and those soccer guys don’t use their hands. Jose said, ‘’I just really wanted to kick de ball’’.

BW came in with the news a bit later in the program. The gang discussed stories about how the US is supposedly closing in on Osama, a Jesus freak substitute teacher in trouble for teaching elementary students about her Lord, and there was plenty of talk about Lent, as today was the initial Big Beefy Friday of the season. Earlier in the show, TnT had read an article from the paper about a bunch of Catholics complaining about having to eat fish on Friday’s. TnT shared no sympathy for them. Somehow that topic led Tyler to say, ‘’I bang a Catholic every couple nights.’’ I don’t know how that relates to anything but I laughed when he said it so I thought I’d include it in today’s update.

Also during the news, TnT took a hate call from a lady who said BW is too negative. She pointed to his story selections and delivery, which TnT couldn’t deny indeed is negative. BW tried to defend himself, stating that it’s a proven fact that no one wants to hear good news and secondly, he’s just the messenger, but no one seemed to buy it. Coincidentally, the two stories following the ‘’Brian’s too negative’’ hate call that wrapped up the news segment weren’t exactly on a positive note. The first story was about a kid who shot his father in the head killing him while the dad was teaching the child gun safety. The second story was about a ‘’mysterious beast’’ running loose somewhere in Africa crushing the skulls of and eating the genitalia of women victims. The ‘’mysterious beast’’ line sent TnT into yet another tangent about hyenas. It was during this time that Tyler did his impression of a hyena; probably one of the poorest impressions I’ve ever heard but it was so damn funny that I nearly pooped in my shower.

Lou and Rob, the director and producer for an independent film project called ‘’The Buddha Man’’ stopped by the studio this morning with their film equipment. The two began their visit by telling TnT about their movie, filling them in on the plot, and describing exactly what they wanted TnT to do for their roll in the film. From there, the director said ‘’Action’’ and TnT went to work. BW began the gang’s performance by reading a fake news story, one that is the focal story of the film, and like they always do, TnT commented on the tale. Following that, BW read the follow-up story that supposedly takes place a few years after the first story, which TnT commented on as well.

Because of the strange ‘’mysterious beast’’ story that BW rapped up his newscast with a bit earlier, the topic if hyenas came up while the gang was filming their clips. Tyler, who previous to the arrival of the movie guys, was doing his crazy hyena impression, took it upon himself to incorporate not only the hyena talk from earlier but also his crazy hyena impression that had woven itself in the fabric of this morning’s show. It was hilarious. After getting all the film they needed for TnT’s roll in the movie, Rob and Lou took off, promising to keep TnT up to date on the progress of the film.

Todd and Tyler took a moment to phone yesterday’s Vegas trip winner, Larry. He told TnT that he’s going to take his girlfriend with him, both Vegas virgins. Following their conversation, TnT later announced a couple of hints for today’s Vegas tunes. Listen all day for your chance to win.

Travis phoned in from St. Louis this morning, where he has traveled to cover the Creighton games for this weekend. As always, Travis shared his travel troubles with TnT. His story this morning, though, was quite disappointing compared to some of the other hellish trips Attaboy has embarked on during his career as a sports guy. His main complaint about this trip focused on the plane ride to St. Louis where he was unable to get any sleep because of the chatter of the rich, trendy ‘’We honeymooned in the Bahamas’’ Creighton crowd. He then talked about his plans for the weekend and if Creighton keeps winning, Trav might not be back on the show until next Tuesday.

BW sat in for Travis on the sports desk this morning. During his report, the gang had a lengthy conversation about a Lincoln school’s mascot, ‘’the Links’’, which is not some type of wild cat, as you might expect, but actually links like in a chain or sausage. The gang then got off on a tangent about BW’s obsession with wanting to know why Megan from the Red Eye won’t go out with him. The conversation was rather lengthy and only helped to prove to any of you doubters out there that BW is completely, disturbingly mental. Following the sports report, Brian reset the ‘’mysterious beast’’ story from earlier in the show regarding the crazy hyena. TnT then read a few e-mails that had come in regarding hyenas and played two very different audio clips of what a real hyena is supposed to sound like. Both clips sounded nothing like Tyler’s stellar hyena performance, yet Tyler’s impression was still 10 times better than the actual noise hyenas make.

Todd and Tyler spoke to actor Jason Gedrick this morning. One of his most familiar rolls was as the lead in ‘’Iron Eagle’’ opposite Louis Gossett Jr., where Jason played the teenage guy Gossett Jr. trained to fly fighter planes. He’s currently in the new show ‘’Boomtown’’ that airs on NBC Sunday evenings at 9pm. Jason talked freely about his introduction into stardom after ‘’Iron Eagle’’, stating that he had ‘’worldwide’’ fame and, well, pie. Jason discussed working with Gossett Jr. and talked about how the Israeli fighter pilots featured in ‘’Iron Eagle’’ once took him up in their jets and unsuccessfully tried to make him puke and pass out. He then talked about going to New York for acting school and shared some details about other rolls he has taken in shows such as ‘’Easy Street’’ and an upcoming movie called ‘’One Eye King’’, due out this fall. He then discussed the buzz around ‘’Boomtown’’, it’s future, the writing, and he also sang a couple of verses of the ‘’Boomtown’’ theme song, as written by an extra. Jason was very cool with Todd and Tyler, an excellent interview. If you missed it this morning, tune in on Sunday at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay or check for the interview on a Best Of show.

Susanna Lee from the Funny Bone stopped in today and hung out with TnT for a bit. She’s a dirty, hot chick on stage so she fit in quite well with the structure of the Todd and Tyler show. She joined in on the topics of the day, discussed the Medicine Hat crowd, and offered stalking tips with Brian. Call the Bone Phone at 493-8036 for reservations to see Susanna and Medicine Hat this weekend.

BW returned late in the show with today’s e-news segment. The entertainment news consisted of more hyena talk, the guys had one of the best conversations I’ve ever heard regarding musician strikes on Broadway, TnT talked of Cher’s stolen wig, Hooters airline has taken off, BW read a sex offender list, and the e-news concluded with some ‘’Who the hell is that?’’

Well, that does it for today’s update. Tune in on Sunday at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay of this morning’s show and keep listening for your chance to win a trip to Vegas with Todd and Tyler. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
