I don't like it when Free Beer plays the "pussy politically correct guy" when they start talking about things involving race.
This might ruffle a few feathers but it seems to me Free Beer always seems to take the "PC" way in any argument when race is involved. An example, when the Dog Chapman thing came out, FB ripped him a new one (deservedly so). And other examples of people saying racist/bigoted things against minorities, he really lets them have it.
But it seems, to me at least, that when it's reversed, like the recent Obama/Rev. Wright crap, or the Rev that ripped Hiliary, etc., FB will take a much more "well....I don't think that was bad" type attitude; Zane and HW though will rip them as much as any other racist incident and will talk about the huge double standard in the media when it comes to stuff like this.
I don't know, that's not a perfect example because the Dog thing was clear cut racism, and some of the other "side" stuff I mentioned wasn't so much, but I guess it's just a vibe I get from FB. He seems almost hesitent to say too much and like he wants to walk a fine line. When it comes to conversations like this they have, I like Zane and HW a lot more because they are much more open and talkative. I mean I guess FB could really feel the way he does, but I just don't get that vibe because in his voice he almost seems to shrink back a bit.
Just an observation I had. I'm not trying to open a big debate about these topics.

You know what. I responded to your "racism" question and decided to remove it. I don't want to get into a big discussion about it either.

I know you're not trying to start a debate, but as you guys have seen, I'm never one to mince words.
I actually DON'T think the Dog Chapman thing was racist. I think it was ignorant as hell, and a completely ridiculous, stupid as hell thing to say, but I don't think the man is going to Klan meetings on weekends.

I hate to even post because I only get to listen for 30-40 minutes a day . . . but I can't resist . . . .
1. Some days it seems like HW barely contributes to the conversation of the show. Again, maybe not fair b/c I only get to listen from 7:50-8:30 Central Time. But, for his name to be part of the show it sure seems like Zane talks a heck of a lot more . . . .
2. Zane bringing up his Armenian heritage - this used to drive me crazy (it gave me Bob & Tom nightmares b/c one of them is Armenian and brings it up A LOT!!!) Nothing against his heritage - it was just the fact that it was EXACTLY like something B&T did ALL THE TIME, almost like it was a bit they would do.
3. HW tripping over words in What Hot Wings Thinks. Sorry, HW - not tryin' to pick on you!

You don't need to be a card carrying member of the Klan to be racist. Anytime you use a word that is derogatory toward another race that's racism, and that word is, end of story.

I like all three, but it is a good thing that FB and HW's names in the show name because Zane is funny as hell. His irateness and verbal assault on people just plain makes me laugh my a$$ off

Yeah and I don't like how he redoes WHWT 2 hours later. Either just do it once or have 2 different ones. Hearing the same thing 2 hours later is silly.

Stop talking about NASCAR. It's not a sport. No one cares.
FB needs to stop being so damned self-depricating. Conan O'Brien has that market cornered. I'm sick and tired of FB telling everyone how much he sucks at Name That Tune or that he thinks he's going to lose Sportier Than Thou when he's so damned insanely awesome. Knock it off.
Yeah, website sucks. It doesn't look anywhere close to professional.

I agree that it's a derogatory word, and it's one of a few words that makes my skin crawl. I just think that the MAN isn't racist, despite what he was saying.

There is a difference between being a bigot and being a racist. Dog is most likely a bigot.
That said, I like Sportier Than Thou.

During Paired With An Idiot, whenever Hot Wings' partner gets one right, Hot Wings says, "There ya go".
It wastes so much time!

So those of us who don't like that we get to hear it at 8:00. Why don't you just turn down your radio for that segment?

the whole "gee dee it" thing is stupid to me, if he wants to say it he should. another thing is that when they get rid of a skit they dont mention a thing about it and it is just gone.

You think this audience is capable of letting it go that easily? How many times have they had to explain where PA Pranks went or what happened to Joe and Nikki? As for the GD thing, I think it's great. There are ways of expressing oneself without having to curse every other word. If Zane's going to put himself out there as a Catholic, he needs to be cognizant that people are going to expect a certain type of behavior from him. If he didn't regularly reference his faith, it wouldn't be as much an issue.

its not just that for example, the dude went away and there wasnt an explination till recently. or even not that long ago, uncanny impressions was gone a couple of weeks ago but not explained until this week.
as far as the GD thing (when i originally put it i was censored) he used to say it all the time until people started complaining, just abbreviating the words is just as bad as saying it, if it was that important they wouldnt use it in any form. that plus all in all, they are just words if people get offended by them they could either change the dial or just get over it.
as far as he goes with the whole catholic thing, he talks about pleasuring himself all the time, amongst plenty of other uncatholic activities. So none of that makes a difference to me.

It's one of those phrases that can cause quite a stir and "gee dee it" carries the same punch without offending a bunch of people. FYI, there are only three words on the censor list.

The thing that bugs me a bit is WHWT. Not the actual segment, but having it twice. Now, I know that they always say that they play things twice if they find them funny and such, and I understand that. However, sometimes they do a blurb about something that is really funny and just seem to cut the topic off to force this bit in. Anyone else notice this?

i think the reason they do it the second time around is to mark the end of the early stations like the hawk and such. that's probably why things seem rushed at that time.
on the other hand they could probably get away with just doing it at that time and not the first time early in the morning

"Both" is a four-letter word, not six.
And "stupid idiot" is repetitive redundance.

It's just an unintelligent perspective. If you have a legitimate policy complaint, fine. Let's discuss politics. But to resort to "he's a dummy because he doesn't articulate well", that's the idiot's way out. I love political debate, but only when that debate is based on differing ideologies. Half the sound clips they play of people speaking end with them calling that person a dummy because of the way they speak. Why should the President be off limits?
