FreeBeer can't say Grand Rapids - mutts202 - 01-18-2009
Has anyone noticed that FreeBeer incoherently slurs the words "Grand Rapids" when he intro's into EACH AND EVERY segment? "GRD Grand Rapids' rock alternative" always sounds like "GRD go nap its rock alternative". It took me 6 months of hearing it literally 15 times a day before one time he tripped on his own words (and then had to repeat it slowly to spite himself) for it to be coherent.
Granted, if I had know that GR meant "Grand Rapids" I'm sure I would have solved this a long time ago, but still... I'm not from GR, so I'm not used to the acronym.
I can't believe no one (including the other guys) has ever called him on this! I mean, call it a "show mark"!

Listen to the full podcast every day, and I've not once noticed this.

Free Beer hasn't been able to say a lot of words correctly for a long time.
FreeBeer can't say Grand Rapids - Mark the Valet - 01-18-2009
Yeah, Freebeer is retarded. We all figured that out a long time ago.
I disagree with your statement, however. I podcast and hear it as "Grand Rapids rock alternative." Nothing stange about that.
I realize that it's awesome and hilarious when FreeBeer actually does screw words or phrases up, but this seems to be a bit nitpicky.

you're definitely not alone on this one, it took me awhile to figure out what the hell he was saying too. for some reason, i thought it was 'coming up its rock alternative' even though i knew that would make absolutely no sense. one day it clicked for me, probably when he slowed down and pronounced the damn thing.

Yeah, he does sound a little like he's running out of air when he says "a hundred and fifty five"...

Funny, I've never noticed any of this.

Baby Jesus would have noticed.

Baby Jesus was to busy being our Savior to listen to the FreeBeer and hotWings show. That is all, if I say more we will have to take this over to touchy subjects.

Yes. Wow, I'm shocked that your posts in here didn't have half a million exclamation points.

Yest, it is your rank. You got that when you reached 50 posts. When you get to 100, I believe you'll move up to Bob and Tom's Fake Laughter.
Also, I never noticed "Grand Rapids" as weird, but I've been listening to GRD long before I listened to FBHW, so I've been hearing "Grand Rapids Rock Alternative" from others for a while, but had I not been as familiar with GRD or Grand Rapids, I bet it would've stuck out more.
Back when Maria Menounos was on Chanel 1 News, she used to say her name really fast, and it sounded like she was saying "I'm Ramen (pronounced RAY-men in this case) Noodles."

She was the only reason I didn't tune out when we'd have to watch that.

Remember Ginger Zee who used to be with Wood TV 8. That was a reason to tune in.

This is a weak complaint. He sounds normal every time.

I have noticed this, but, like Zane throwing random suggestions into Joe stunts, I don't let the annoying way Free Beer says "Grand Rapids" or "155 dollars" piss me off! If he stopped doing this, we wouldn't have the great slurs and word scrambles we've all come accustomed to! Get over it and enjoy the show!
