Best Calls and Texts from The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show 2025

Hi Idiots.

We've had quite a year here on the Free Beer and Hot Wings Morning Show, ranging from our most expansive set of live show locations to date to our most significant single-day radiothon earnings in show history.

We've already highlighted each member of the show's most memorable moments of the year, but some of the funniest moments of the year came not from us but from listeners like you. In the radio industry, it's rare to have as many callers as we get every morning.

The Free Beer and Hot Wings Morning Show

We do a lot for our pets. Sometimes that includes getting help from wherever you can get it, like calling a pet psychic to diagnose your pet's litter box issues.

This was a hurtful (and great) text directed at Steve.

An Incredible Paper Bag Rant

"I live a simple grocery life."

Knocking Yourself Out In An Elevator While Playing Air Guitar
