Free Beer and Hot Wings
The show (no music, just entertainment) is hosted by cast including Gregg "Free Beer" Daniels, Chris "Hot Wings" Michaels, Eric Zane, Producer Joe and Steve.
Hour 1
Free Beer played us the trailer for Saints Row: The Third this morning. The developers of the game have completely abandoned any sense of realism and you can now do damn near anything you want in the game. You can see the trailer in the Video Reel. A black college football player was kicked off of a flight for having saggy pants. A white guy in his mid 50′s was allowed to fly while wearing what is essentially lingerie. Both of the passengers were on US Airways flights, so they’re now feeling the pressure
Hour 1
Zane told us about the biggest news story of the last few days: the penguin who got lost and swam 2000 miles in the wrong direction and ended up in New Zealand. There’s lots of controversy now about whether he should be sent back to Antarctica or not. We had an update on the guy we talked about the other morning who robbed a bank because he could not afford the medical care he needed. It turns out he was eligible for free healthcare at a clinic just a few miles from his house! We were also updated on Ted Williams, the homeless man with the golden voice. He’s back in rehab and no one is surprised.
Hour 1
Zane checked out a magazine article that showed older celebrities in their bathing suits and talked about how great they looked. He disagreed with all but about 2 of them, saying that they actually looked just as old as they really were. A seventh generation Welenda is trying to legalize tight-rope walking across Niagara Falls. We talked about how tight-rope walking was only cool in the documentary Man on Wire, where the guy walked between the Twin Towers. Some guy walked in to a bank, claiming to have a backpack filled with anthrax and demanded money from the teller. It was later revealed that there was no anthrax in the bag, but human waste.
Hour 1
It’s summertime and that means that there’s a new bunch of deep fried crap that is popping up at state fairs. This year’s new delicacy: deep fried Kool Aid! Some guy has managed to make little nuggets from Kool Aid powder. They look a lot like donut holes. A drifter celebrated his 58th birthday recently by downing nearly 50 beers. He was arrested for urinating in public and when asked by police if he drank too many, he said that he probably had 5 beers too many! Producer Joe talked about some of his early wedding plans this morning, including the plan to have a ice shot luge! We then questioned him about his top draft picks for best man in the ceremony.
Hour 1
Zane started the morning telling us about how he realized this weekend that he is getting really old. He couldn’t handle hooking up his computer to the new-fangled internet and also had major issues with the plot points of the movie Inception. It’s good that he finally realized what we have known for years. We have a video posted in the Video Reel from inside of a top fuel dragster. The driver has a bit of an issue mid-track that seems like it would be terrifying! Be sure to check that one out.
Hour 1
Zane made a really great first impression on his new tenant in his house yesterday. The guy accidentally spilled some water on the carpet and Zane absolutely lost his mind. He hung up on the guy twice and was raging out on him for the rest of the day. We talked about how he should have his own reality show called “Eric Zane: American Landlord”. Free Beer went over a list of the characteristics that casting companies look for when casting reality shows. It turns out that Zane would be perfect!
Hour 1
Zane just recently moved in to his new house and he’s been telling us about all of the crap that made the move to the new place. Instead of going through everything before he moved, he got a dumpster at the new house and has just been throwing everything out! He has taken great joy in chopping it up with an ax before throwing it in the dumpster. Free Beer is not that impressed by the movie Green Lantern that comes out soon. Talking about this got us on the topic of other comic book movies and comic book nerds.
Hour 1
Zane was watching TV last night told us how annoying hockey analyst Barry Melrose was. He was describing everything by using the term “gate” after it, such as “goalie-gate and Luongo-gate. His mullet and goatee were then discussed at length. A Peoria minor league baseball team has decided to stick it to Lebron James, just like everyone else. As one of their game promotions, they handed out replica Lebron James championship rings!
Hour 1
Free Beer told us this morning that he was really out of it today. That is typically a recipe for disaster, so we kept a close eye on him all morning. Hot Wings gave us an update on having two kids this morning. Zane asked how much he’s currently spending a week on diapers so he could figure out how much he would spend over the next several years. The answer to this question was much more complicated than anyone could have imagined. We went over a list that told us how certain things affect property values. One of the things on the list was “sex offenders”. Hot Wings said he could relate because of the weirdo in his neighborhood, but it was like pulling teeth trying to get details out of him.
All this week, it's the best of The Free Beer And Hot Wings show. This video is a classic, you gotta watch!
