Hey guys,

I know I'm putting myself out there for ridicule and mockery, but I feel I have a valid point to share with you. Whether you even read this is or even care is up in the air, but I have to at least try. I was reading the "Hate Mail" portion of your site and I do see a lot of other valid points, but I think they're taken a little out of context and some people are being a little sensitive. What you guys do, no offense, doesn't take a lot of skill, knowledge, or effort and I have to say it does show. I know the whole "idea" of the show is to have a group of "average joes" talking about current events and everyday experiences; I get that and obviously it works because you're still on the air. However there is a line where a joke goes too far and does, actually, become offensive. I have to say Free Beer is my favorite of the bunch because he seems to be the one who cares more about the people in the events that you talk about or is the one to say that something Hot Wings says could be offensive. He seems to be the most genuine, as far as the show goes, and the one I can relate with more. The rest of the guys I couldn't care less about. Zane and Hot Wings sound almost identical and it's hard to know who's speaking. In my opinion, as I'm sure you care about it, Zane should go. He offers almost nothing to the show that Hot Wings doesn't already add, plus it would be one less salary to cover for the network. Seems like a win-win for everyone. Plus he looks like a tool. You guys make him sound like a big muscular guy with his P90X poison and he's just a scrawny little shit. I bet it would only take three 5 year-olds to beat him up as opposed to him killing 100 of them at once. The whole premise of the show is to take quick jabs at people's circumstances and make fun of them, and to a point its enjoyable, but like I said I find this show crossing the line often. You can poke fun at people but saying " F this and F that" is for 14 year-olds, not 40 year-olds. You guys know better than that. I am half your age and I seem to be far more mature than you. But once again, I'm sure you're just selling yourself and acting like this so people will listen. That's almost like what a prostitute does if I'm not mistaken. And don't try making jokes about me that I'm a virgin and a dumb loser. Because I'm not any of those things. I guarantee I make more money than any of you and I don?t sell myself short to do it and I am in a very stable, healthy and loving relationship with a loving woman. If you can go home, and I mean all of you including that dweeb Joe, and look at yourself in the mirror and not regret or feel remorseful that you're selling yourself and putting others down to get a buck then God bless. But don't think that your listeners are ALL laughing at your mean spirited jokes because some of us are shaking our heads in disgust and some of us are seeing the shallow and self-conscious people you really are. Sometime down the road in your lives you will have hardship, whether your children get sick or your parents pass away or you, yourself, become sick or have something happen to you and I want you to remember all of the hurtful things you have said because those hard times are coming, faster than you think and I hope it hits you hard and knock you on your asses. I don?t wish ill upon anyone like some of the other "Hate Mailers", nor will I use incorrect grammar and spelling like a lot of the bumpkins who write to this show, but I do hope you realize that a lot of what you say is hurtful and try to make the world a bit better rather than spreading anger and frustration; there's enough of that already without you. I hope someone reading this takes even just a piece of what I'm trying to say. Life is too short for being angry and mean.

Zane,

First of all, I'm a huge fan of the show! I think the psin of the show,combined with the stellar cast to deliver the show is no less than AWESOME!!! But that said, you are a HYPOCRITE WINEASS!!!! Free Beer,Hot Wings,you,Producer Joe,and now Steve are some of the best, funniest,most talented group of guys I've ever heard media/talk show wise!!! The show has it's ups and downs as to be expected in life and more specifically in this case but I honestly believe it would have more ups and ALOT less downs if you weren't on the show! The Zaneless cast would do great,even better without your whiny,dickish,negative BS! Even though the guys tend to back you and even defend you,specifically in most cases where a caller gets through to comment on your negativity or assholish existence which confuses me,a little because though I recognize and agree that you have to have leatherskin,just to be able to handle the show,let alone LOVE IT!! Still, the other guys take care of their business just as effectively,if not better,without offending the DOGSHIT OUT OF PEOPLE! Your approach blows,not just your attitude and delivery......I've even learnt the hard way! I've been a loyal listener/fan from day #!,when you took over for THE BOB AND TOM SHOW! and for whatever reason, I can never get thru. I've come close,and then hung up on a couple times,but one day, I actually got on. The topic was CAN YOU GET A SUGAR BUZZ? We parked on energy drinks for short time, and out of the blue....after you attempted to be reasonable and open to a different opinion or view which never lasts with you!! .....you blurted out"THESE IDIOTS, WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!?? F--- YOU,ZANE!! ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE NOT PERFECT AND FLAWLESS...STOP PLAYING GOD! Maybe find a career that will not just ALLOW you to blurt and slam on the public,then hang up,but actually embrace your dickish and obnoxious attitude and approach in life!!! In closing...GOOD LUCK AND GOOD RIDDENS.HOPEFULLY!! If not,I guess I'm just stuck with youlike the rest of listeners! To the rest of the boys....KEEP KICKING ASS!!! also, I'm sure you guys will find a way to dog on me for this,even though, I think everybody AGREES!!! I"m sure I will enjoy it,anyway....I ALWAYS DO!!! Hope the decisionmakers have the balls to read this on air.....I'LL BE IMPRESSED AND RESPECT SHOW EVEN MORE,IF YOU DO!!!! OFF TO FBHW VIP!!! KEEP DOING IT,BOYS! SOMETIMES,YOU LITERALLY MAKE MY DAY!

Hi Guys,

I would first like to say that I HATE your f---ing show. You idiots hardly talk about anything interesting. Really, I gave it a week, and half the time it seemed that all you retards talked about was f---ing Tiger woods. What, are you really that shitty of broadcasters that you can't come up with anything to talk about? F--- off. Also, I really could less about a list of the top ten dildos of the past century, of which I'm sure that retard monkey of a person Zane has plenty of knowledge of. I use to look forward to my drive into work, as the morning show that my station had on BEFORE you f---s was so much better. Hotwings, go bone Nancy Pelosi (it would probably be the first time EITHER of you have been laid...EVER!!). You are nothing more then a snob bubbling nerd. Zane, I actually found you amusing for some unknown reason. It would be like how people find it amusing when monkeys fling their poop at the zoo. Keep ragging on people, its going to catch up with you someday, you piece of s--t. Freebeer, I have nothing for you. The only thing is that you sort of laugh like Ricky Ricardo from "I love Lucy". It reminds me of my grandfather, who was a total asshole. So, I consider you an asshole by proxy. Joe, if you want to continue in radio, here is a helpful tip. SHUT THE F--- UP!. Seriously, I though you guys had a 12 year-old boy working for you, given on how high his f---ing voice is. Steve, I actually found you to be ok. I suggest that you find a new gig though, as these morons are just going to keep dragging you down.

F--- OFF,

Pissed off in West Michigan

I imagine you recieve emails like this alot, having said that I will no longer listen to your show. About three years ago my wife told me I had to listen to your show, I did and loved it !!! .... and over a year ago after telling at least 20 co-workers to check it out I struggled to listen for more than five minutes at a time. If it is not bad enough to have to hear the same sound effect OVER AND FUCKING OVER by a complete RETARD !!! , you tools decided to go the Lame Street Media route and be in the tank for Obama's sorry ass !! I know ,tell me again how you had him on your show, Hey I heard he did WWF too, great company... you fucks !! . Today was the end, I caught the end of Joe's stunt best talent you idiots have and had to listen to soundbites, and you liberal scum mocking Palin, gee which retarted monkey played the bites. You may not care, but when GRD has enough people like myself saying we will no longer listen to your station ... oh wait , then you fucks will change and start backing lthe GOP, either way I will never have my radio on GRD again. Thanks for your time and ditch the retard Zane !! Now go foundle yourself's to your Obummer chat !!

I have heard your show on the radio. I can't believe you are still on theh air. Cursing at preachers, and just plain being negative 24/7 is not a good way to start off your morning. I will never listen to your show again and I look forward to getting your show off the air. There are some things you can not say on the air, your show sucks. It is by far the saddest thing I have ever listened to. Your material is like a twelve year old's mind!

Apparently most of your listeners are as dumb as you are. First of all, The correct answer is 1 because the whole point of an improper fraction is that it is top heavy, meaning the numerator is greater than the denominator - automatically making it equal or greater than one. 1/2 is still greater than zero and is a positive number, but still a proper fraction.

Regarding ZERO, is it a number. Re: 0 (zero) is both a number and the numerical digit used to represent that number in numerals. The arguments that your answer was wrong because zero is not a number just proves that these people really have no grasp of what the question was really after.

I can't believe I even listen to your show, but I do sometimes when they get too war heavy on NPR. A little stupidity in the midst of too much reality sometimes helps.

And what is up with your name, it is so dumb.

I wanted to join your V.I.P. section until I saw that you charge for membership. You really think you're worth thirty bucks or even three for that matter. Being from N.J. I know that you guys are familiar with Preston and Steve who's radio morning show is far greater than yours and has more listeners in three states than yours has in fifteen. They are kick ass and don't charge anything for their V.I.P. section. I thought that you guys were cool but it turns out you only care about the money and not the fans. I hope you guys one day feel the pain of being charged to be a fan of something. It's not right and believe it or not I am going to be taking over fifteen hundred listeners from you for pissing me off.

Sincerely yours,
NOT HAPPY IN N.Y.

P.S. I hope your children become Autistic retards with AIDS and die a slow painful death. Of course I hope you die too. And I hope your wives get raped by black people with seven STD's.

Hey guys. I'm a security officer at a school in Minnesota. I also have a criminal justice degree and am POST eligible to become a police officer. I have a 4.0 GPA and am continuing with a 4 year degree in business. I am working as a guard as a way to make money for my wife and son until I can land a job as a "real" cop. So glad to know all you guys hate me. I really like your show, but I'm not sure I will continue to listen. Working security is not my dream job, but if you hadn't noticed, the economy kinda sucks. I can take a joke but to say you all hate me for keeping my kid in diapers is a little much.

Hello!

I found your Handicap Prank entertaining. Being in a wheelchair myself I find it rather funny that a radio station would allow for such antic's, I dont understand how any business's would want to have there business's name advertized on a radio station that promote's making fun of people in a wheelchair..... I realize free speech but come on guy's are your rating's so low you need to pick on a defensless form of human life or how they get around? But I also realize you try mimicing other "shock jocks" to try getting rating's. I realize you are all undereducated that is why you work minimum wage job's only part time and just trying to make name's for your show....... Pathetic to say the least I can only hope you do more handicap prank's, you fool's record it for public record... when it is time to face the music for your action's better start deleting stuff.....

I love listening to you guys in the morning, but now I am done and will NOT listen again. In fact, I will tell everyone I know not to listen to you and why. The teasing about OCD was not funny at all. OCD is an illness! The next time you guys want new material why don't you poke fun at someone in a wheel chair, or someone who lost a limb, or a cancer patient. Are you that stupid that you think people store trash or do the "weirdo" things on purpose. I am never going to accept that you did not realize what you were doing. I deal with a family memeber who has OCD everyday. It is a serious ILLNESS. Period. End of report. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Now I know that you guys must have been the jerks in school who teased the kids who limped or stuttered.
