Todd and Tyler Unauthorized

Thursday 10-16-03

Todd and Tyler started off their show this morning with some talk about the Cubs’ loss yesterday. They saw Deb Ward of KM3 last night hold up a bottle of Pepto during the newscast and after the Cubs lost later, she stated, “Try to have a good night” as her newscast signoff. TnT thought that was rather “irresponsible” and said that they both had a great night after the loss. Later in the show, TnT phoned Deb at home and gave her a hard time for the statement but there didn’t seem to be any malice in their comments. In fact, TnT sort of seemed to understand why Deb is a fan. Her husband, Joe Jordan also of KM3, is a lifelong Cubs fan and the couple attend the season opener in Chicago yearly.

The gang then moved on to talk a bit more about the Kellen Huston story. The guys were pleasantly surprised to hear Tommy Frazier’s stance on the situation, which he explained on one of those worthless, boring, pointless wastes of time AM Husker talk radio shows. Tommy basically had the same opinion as TnT: Huston should have been suspended for longer, if not kicked off the team all together. On a related note, to get an outsider’s point of view on the Huston punch, the gang phoned Tyler’s dad in Pennsylvania. He talked with the guys about impression the story has left out there. Ed referred to Huston’s assault of the Missouri fan as “a sucker punch”, to which TnT agreed. He then commented later on how disappointed he was in Travis for his milk-toast appearance on the Greta Van Susteren show on Fox News the other night. Later, Ed shared a story about how he and some of his buddies used to sneak into the ‘50s Army/Navy games by posing as Pinkerton security guards, a great story that has never been told on the air before to my recollection.

BW came in a bit later with the morning’s newscast. The gang spent time discussing how Omaha’s new slogan, “O!”, sucks massive amounts of pink shankers and later got a giggle out of impersonating an Indian (dot, not feather) professor from UNL that was busted for “loosing his mind” and sexually assaulting a hot co-ed. She came to his office to talk about grades and allegedly set the guy’s head on fire when he caught a glimpse of her tummy and just had to play grab-ass with her. The guys also talked about Lincoln’s smoking ban, gorilla turds, corporate and businesses sponsoring high school stadiums, the NYC fairy boat crash, how the Pope is losing his mind, and there was a story about a German guy that taught his German Sheppard, Adolph, to do the Nazi salute. BW then wrapped up the newscast with another heartwarming story about a pit bull puppy that chewed off the fingers of a paralyzed boy (who had no feeling in his arm) while the child slept.

Also at one point in the news, the guys had a lengthy conversation this morning about a news story Trav covered on his FWIW last night. The story was about a man that was recently released from prison and is now trying to become part of his young daughter’s life. He refuses to speak English to the child during visitation so the mother, custody holder, took the father to court in order to get a judge to make him speak English so the scared 5-year-old girl could at least understand him. BW seemed to side with the Judge, stating that the father should be forced to speak English. Travis, on the other hand, completely flipped out on BW. Trav ran into the studio during BW’s explanation of his thoughts and immediately started screaming and yelling at Brian. Trav’s vicious outburst can only be described as just that. If any new listener would have heard the show this morning, I’m sure they’d have been convinced that Travis was going to tear into BW’s ass much like Dicky Ryan delivering an uppercut to a Doberman. Along with going ape s-bomb on BW, Travis delivered this morning’s sports report. It, though, was not nearly as interesting as Trav’s linguistic assault of mow boy.

Todd and Tyler announced the draft pool for this year’s broom ball game, which takes place tomorrow night during the Lancer’s game at the MAC in Council Bluffs. The guys took all of 30 seconds to ramble off the list of 20+ potential players from all 4 news channels in town so consequently, I didn’t get the opportunity to write any of them down. They will be holding the draft tomorrow on their show so tune in to see who will join Todd and who will join Tyler.

All morning long, Todd and Tyler mentioned a gorilla spotting at Lake Zorinsky, much like they did yesterday with the lion on Dodge Street. And as with yesterday, listeners checked in all morning long with gorilla spotting reports. Some gave details of what the gorilla was up to, others just claimed to have spotted it, and way too many listeners attempted to slip in stupid ass jokes about the gorilla sighting. People, 99.9% of us should just leave the attempts at humor to Todd and Tyler. Eventually, as the show rolled to a close, TnT brought in Willy, another intern (?) that they sent out today to the lake wearing a gorilla costume. Although there was no big police related “payoff” like yesterday, it was amusing to hear people talk all morning long about seeing the gorilla climbing a tree to pick berries and sitting under a bridge watching hot joggers pass by.

BW came in towards the end of the show with today’s e-news. The gang discussed a marriage proposal being offered up on eBay by an Omaha guy. They attempted to get in touch with him but were unsuccessful. I’m sure that if this story doesn’t get picked up locally or nationally by the TV media, TnT will get in touch with the guy tomorrow to further discuss the details of the strange story. Tune in. Also during the e-news, the guys discussed the strange “Back To The Future” prophecies as they relate to the Cubs, there was talk of the new Mel Gibson “Jesus” movie, the gang had a lengthy conversation about the origin of the word Charlie Horse, and BW read over a long list of 31 names on the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry.

That does it for the Thursday update. Tune in tonight at 10pm for the 3^rd Shift Replay and make sure to rejoin the guys tomorrow at 5:30am for the Friday show. Medicine Hat is supposed to join the guys in studio unless his “family troubles” from today carry over into tomorrow. Thanks for watching. Good night. -Corby-
