Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We'll start with an easy one for any dedicated listener: Who are the other three regular members of the show whose names do NOT appear in the title?

Answer: Producer Steve, Eric Zane, and Producer Joe

Although it it often suggested he should be called 'bleu cheese' or 'ranch dressing', Eric Zane joined the show after they say the 'dumb food names had been given out'. Producer Joe began as an intern, proving himself worthy to be Producer. Steve joined as an assistant to Joe in early 2009.
2. The original two show hosts, 'Free Beer' and 'Hot Wings', were obviously not blessed with those memorable monikers by their parents. What are their real names?

Answer: Greg Daniels and Chris Matthews

They originally used the tagline 'Free Beer and Hot Wings with Greg and Chris' to try to attract attention early on. The nicknames apparently caught on quite well!
3. What is the name of the weekly game played Thursday mornings around 8 a.m.? It is a trivia contest sponsored by CAT Footwear.

Answer: 'Dumber than Zane'

Zane is notorious for his inaccurate, off-the-wall answers. Many hilarious sound bytes come from his terribly twisted answers! Land mammal...um, the dolphin?
4. The show tends to keep things fresh by getting rid of games or bits that lose their fun and replacing them with something new. Which of the following is NOT a former regular segment or feature that has now been laid to rest?

Answer: 'What Free Beer Thinks'

The daily segment, which is still heard near the 7 and 9 o'clock hours, is actually 'What Hot Wings Thinks'. Before its demise, the 'What Have You Got to Lose Challenge' produced some timeless bits, including 'Hot Wings Breakdancing School' and 'Eric Zane Eats a Banana Sexy'.
5. The "Free Beer and Hot Wings Show" enjoys a high level of success in regional ratings in the markets in which they are heard. As of 2009 they have 18 affiliates in 16 states. From what city and state do they broadcast their unique show each weekday?

Answer: Grand Rapids, MI

'Free Beer', 'Hot Wings', and Eric Zane are all from the great state of Michigan. When the opportunity presented to return to their home state to broadcast, they were eager to take it.
6. This concept began as an agreement among the show hosts to share stories from their lives which were highly embarrasing on the radio. The theory is that those things which most people would NEVER share with others make great entertainment. The entire audience, aided by the addition of a voice harmonizer, now participates in the telling of cringe-worthy tales to amuse the audience. What is this idea called?

Answer: Show Code

Free Beer's story about his impromptu bathroom use of the field next to the radio station before an early-career job interview may be the best use of this ever!
7. My internship with "The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show" lasted longer than any internship in history. Eric had special duties for some time as Ari Zane; Sex Agent, and his task was to get girls for me. I took over the duty of creating the weekly Name That Tune list until the game was no longer played. My side business of Ebay sales was a source of frequent mocking. Who am I?

Answer: Intern Kurt Busch

As we are all aware, Kurt began drinking during his internship and discovered a true new passion. Most days during his stead when the show began at 5 a.m., Kurt had not yet been to bed from the night before!
8. A famous Producer Joe stunt had him run through what type of a painful 'Gauntlet' in a jock strap?

Answer: The Paintball Gauntlet

Even after he ran into the trees and yelled 'STOP' 20 times, a few paintballs still flew!
9. Eric Zane has a self-portrait tattoo on his bicep which depicts him dancing in a 1990 man pangeant at Central Michigan University. He is required to show the tattoo on demand, at any time, to any listener. Why did he get this in January of 2007?

Answer: He offered to get the tattoo if listeners raised enough money in support of Ataxia-Telengeatasia research

The guys are huge supporters of A-T research, a debilitating rare disease that attacks children. Two girls who attend school with Zane's children have A-T, and te personal connection has really made it a cause close to their hearts.
10. As the previous question implies,"The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show" is definitely socially concious and not just about the fun and games. Each Christmas season, families are selected in each listening region to receive 'break-ins' a few days before Christmas, where both needs and wants in abundance are left behind anonymously for families in need. What are the names of the selfless volunteers who shop for the gifts, assist in getting the families out of the house on break-in day, and help fill the houses with joy?

Answer: Hoodlums

Each year on break-in day some are done live on the air. I've never escaped without crying into my coffee! Past gifts include cars, beds, clothes, video game systems, bikes, food, and many other things some of us take for granted.
