The show is hosted by Gregg "Free Beer" Daniels, Chris "Hot Wings" Matthews, Eric "Brown Knuckler" Zane, "Producer Joe" and Steve. The show is syndicated throughout America, and is distributed by Compass Media Networks.
The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show has also guest hosted The Dan Patrick Show on multiple occasions.
Holiday Break-in
Each December, the show solicits the nomination by their listeners of needy families to be the recipients of the Holiday Break-in for those unable to buy holiday gifts. Once the recipients are selected, participating radio affiliates break-in to the houses of these families (with the assistance of the nominator, a locksmith, and local police) and bring the holidays where there would be none. They decorate and leave presents - in the past, the gifts have included toys for the children, gift cards, paid rent, appliances, and cars. A few of the break-ins occur on the air - most do not. No notification is left as to who the gifts came from; the recipients rarely determine who was responsible for the seemingly random act.
Inspired by the work done by the show, in 2008 local high schools in West Michigan began conducting their own break-ins for needy families. In 2009, representatives of each school appeared on the show and shared stories about the recipients and how the break-ins went.
