Heh heh. I made Evo mad.
August 9th, 2006 at 5:25 am
Well that’s no big trick - just give him plenty o’beer.
August 9th, 2006 at 5:57 am
Man, you guys post early!
August 9th, 2006 at 6:15 am
I posted at 6pm in the evening (time difference is funny). What’s your excuse?
August 9th, 2006 at 7:02 am
Charlie the Beer Drain?!?
August 9th, 2006 at 7:04 am
apparently the Wingin It guys love going off on balls.
what a lovely follow up to the Operation Fat Cocks voicemail show…
August 9th, 2006 at 7:10 am

August 9th, 2006 at 7:12 am

August 9th, 2006 at 7:34 am
Wow, that guest Evo.. I like him, invite him back for next week
August 9th, 2006 at 7:44 am

August 9th, 2006 at 7:49 am
Tee- thats a bitter beer
Thats my Phil, 5 cocktails getting ready for #6 Im sure
August 9th, 2006 at 7:56 am
That quazy Drain’ll drink anything.
Yay for Man-Douche!!!
The above 2 comments are not necessarily related…
August 9th, 2006 at 8:16 am
Oh I think they are related Alvie…
Traffic poetry.. what has this world come to???
Dan Ryan… yeesh!!! No my nemesis is the ol’ I-55 Stevensen merging into Lake Shore Drive
Stupid things done while driving? Im guilty of putting makeup on…. my only stupidity is I am really overly aggressive, but you have to be in the city. I go too fast in rain and snow and i weave in and out way too much and I try to push slow drivers out of the right lane..
August 9th, 2006 at 8:18 am
The pirates made me do it. Those damn pirates and their rum.
August 9th, 2006 at 8:45 am
YARRRRR a bettaar person faaarr it!
August 9th, 2006 at 9:30 am
Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock.
(Not very rymey is it?)
August 9th, 2006 at 9:31 am
My thanks to the guys for playing the PubCast. We think the next one will be out post-SoaMFP so maybe we can review it…
Mike, Jack, E…that was a DAMN FUNNY intro with the rewind, playback 2x, and Evo’s introduction!
And finally…TD…I am not worthy. Brilliant ADPOV, man! Absolutely brilliant. Got a few stares on the metro while listening to that!
August 9th, 2006 at 9:35 am
Alright, ’splain this one to me - How does Evo know what balls smell like?
Does he just spend that much time around Michael’s “Sweet, sweet ass” or is he a major contortionist?
August 9th, 2006 at 9:36 am
Joe…almost forgot…testify: I miss Farscape! I miss it so…and the ScapeCast are waiting on me to do material for them. I need to get on the ball!!!
Stupid Driving Tricks: I tried typing in directions on my computer while driving. That, and scrolling through my iPod. Yeah…pretty damn stoopid!
August 9th, 2006 at 9:45 am
Not rhymey Mike… but dammed delicious.
August 9th, 2006 at 10:12 am
The Men-in-gay-Asia quotient was high with this episode. Apparently it can be more strongly triggered by large groups.
August 9th, 2006 at 10:19 am
Whose clock is this site on, anyway? I thought Phoenix was only 1 hour behind Texas, but the posts are showing two hours behind my local posting time?????
August 9th, 2006 at 10:30 am
I definitely miss Farscape as well, although I fear my memory is fading.
As I watch SG-1 these days, I don’t automatically see John Crichton and Aeryn Sun anymore on the screen. I’m adjusting to their new roles.
And, quite frankly, I just enjoy having the two of them on screen together again.
August 9th, 2006 at 10:32 am
Dinna I say Ed had a way with words?
August 9th, 2006 at 10:37 am
Hey, what happened?
It sounded like Evo was about to mention meeting me and Kerry, but it sounded edited…
August 9th, 2006 at 10:38 am
oops spoke too soon.
August 9th, 2006 at 10:56 am
Aye, Alvie, the truth of it you do speak!
August 9th, 2006 at 11:00 am
Ed, on Phoenix time, Arizona doens’t observe daylight savings time. So while DST is in effect, AZ is effectively on Pacific time, otherwise AZ is on Mountain time. Clear as mud?
August 9th, 2006 at 11:34 am
AZ…The State thats on Crack.
Are yall still racists there or do you finally observe MLK Day?
August 9th, 2006 at 11:55 am
Great show!
Loved the special guest Evo definitely a keeper!
Great ADPOV TD!
9 days ’til Snakes on a Plane!!
August 9th, 2006 at 12:59 pm
Best part of Arizona you set the clock once and NEVER had to play with it again. Being some fool that has to play with a clock twice a year because some idiot doesn’t understand the concept of sunlight and that your not really saving anything…that’s smokin crack.
August 9th, 2006 at 1:04 pm
Word up Thomas!
And Alvie, Arizona is one of the few (only?) Sates where MLK Day was enacted by a vote of the citizens rather than imposed by the government.
Sheesh, one racist governer’s stupid action and we’re all branded for life.
Again, I say, sheesh…
August 9th, 2006 at 1:09 pm
*approaches Charlie with large branding iron with “Im sorry” as logo*
Let me make it up to you sir.
August 9th, 2006 at 1:38 pm
*sizzle*
[gagging on burning flesh smell] Apology accepted, Alvie [/gagging on burning flesh smell]
August 9th, 2006 at 1:40 pm
Huzzah! Let us eat our minstrels!
*much rejoicing*
August 9th, 2006 at 2:22 pm
Hey Jack anytime you want to recreate your mountain driving experience come up to Flagstaff and we’ll take you down 89A in a snow storm at 11pm at night…it’s a party!
August 9th, 2006 at 2:22 pm
*singing*
Brave brave sir Alvie!
Hey wait! Get the hell away from me with that fork!
Ow. OWWW!!
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
*thud*
August 9th, 2006 at 2:26 pm
*munch munch*
I NEVER!
*chew*
August 9th, 2006 at 2:38 pm
cannibolism hits the Draco Vista studios…next time on a very special episode of Wingin It.
August 9th, 2006 at 2:59 pm
Can you show me on the voodoo doll where the cannibal touched you?
August 9th, 2006 at 3:03 pm
damn it *points* Alvie ate another voodoo doll!
August 9th, 2006 at 3:47 pm
Evo claimed he was in Vancouver, but can we really be sure?
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/08/09/060809183122.rjv9k7v2.html
I wonder…
August 9th, 2006 at 4:02 pm
I think Evo is innocent this time.
1. The article says that guy was 34.
2. Evo is an old fart.
The defense rests, your honor.
(I’m sure Evo will thank me for “defending” him)
August 9th, 2006 at 4:03 pm
What’s going on around here? Posting seems awfully light this episode.
August 9th, 2006 at 4:40 pm
Sunna bitches why yall are always touchin n molestin me mon?
August 9th, 2006 at 8:11 pm
We should talk more about Phil Rossi and Tee Morris….but that’s just me.
August 9th, 2006 at 8:13 pm
Who now?
August 9th, 2006 at 8:51 pm
Can anyone point me to a link that will list the names of all the beverages that have been sampled on “Wingin’ it” over the past episodes and how many “thumbs up” or “down” that particular libation received?
No?
Well then, surely someone out there posses the “mad skilz” to put something like that together for the good of the Wingin’ It community! After all, friends don’t let friends drink that” fizzy yellow stuff” and as I no longer seem to have the portion of my brain that used to be able to actually remember stuff, I need to print out a list of “recommended” beers to take with me when I go on a beer safari.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
August 9th, 2006 at 9:25 pm
Tee & Phil…thanks for stealing my thunder…in about two weeks, Speaking of Beer will be “live” and sounding like…er…well, your segment played here…ya, thanks…
Justa, there’s a place you can go to hear many of the Wingin It beers evaluated, and lotsa other good recommendations…it’s called speakingofbeer dot com…maybe you’ve heard it meantioned…?
August 9th, 2006 at 9:26 pm
…or “mentioned”…
August 9th, 2006 at 9:57 pm
Speaking of what now?
August 10th, 2006 at 5:58 am
Charlie — Nothin’ but love, baby! Back at ya! ANd feel free to comment about it on SoB!
“This podcast was inspired by Tee & Phil’s PubCast for WI!” :p
August 10th, 2006 at 6:49 am
Now that you mention it Charlie, seems I read something about that on the “Deadpan” board. Wait … I’ll click back over there and see if I can find it.
August 10th, 2006 at 8:31 am
Re: naked guy in Switzerland - Additional arguments for why it could not have been me:
A - I’ve never done ’shrooms.
B - I can’t come close to approximating a Mass accent.
E.
August 10th, 2006 at 8:37 am
Evo, you forgot choices C & D!
See cause you went and did A & B and your name is E….
forget it…
Justa’s clevar…
August 10th, 2006 at 8:38 am
but note he doesn’t deny being in Switzerland at the time of the case, hmmmmmm
August 10th, 2006 at 9:37 am
Woo Hoo just got my Signed Bottle Opener 2.0!
Now I just have to buy one that I can use.
August 10th, 2006 at 10:01 am
Oh…an [echo] UNRELATED THOUGHT [/echo]…
I think we should all be talking about Phil Rossi’s hair.
“Fuck 2006.” — Jack Mangan
August 10th, 2006 at 11:27 am
Actually Tee, have you had the Fish and Chips or the Chicken Tenders at the old Dominion brewery, they were very good as I recall.
As for our N/A Wingin It folks if you ever get the chance try Old Dominion’s Root Beer it’s quite excellent.
I used to get to the brewery every once in a while when I lived in Arlington and really enjoyed it.
August 10th, 2006 at 11:41 am
Phil…didn’t we have the Chicken Tenders? They WERE tasty!!!
August 11th, 2006 at 9:50 am
I want a chicken…
So Charlie, going back to what Just a Joe said, are you going to have a posted list on your site with a thumbs up or thumbs down for each of the beers you sampled. Of course, considering Fred, which you and I liked, but no one else did, maybe it doesn’t matter. LOL
August 11th, 2006 at 1:17 pm
Maybe the best way to handle it is have a Beer Ratings page seperate from the episode and in that post track your grading from the shows, that way not to spoil the tasting for listeners.
August 11th, 2006 at 5:09 pm
Excellent! A beer tasting ratings chart! Where do I sign up?
August 11th, 2006 at 5:38 pm
For the M&E WI site, I defer to the overlords about creating a beer score page or whatever. Over at SoB, I’m working on a “data page” for scores and vital stats on SoB beers.
Yeah Rhttero, so far Hair of The Dog beers (Fred & Rose a.k.a “borscht beer”) ain’t exactly wowin’ ‘em at DVS. I’m giving it a final shot this weekend with “Blue Dot”, an HoTD Imperial IPA. Maybe since it’s not named for a person, folks’ll like it.
If not, more for me
August 12th, 2006 at 6:55 am
That is a good idea Charlie.. I sure wish I liked beer more. I feel left out.
Well Charlie, if anyone was going to help me like beer, it would be you.
August 12th, 2006 at 12:15 pm
*picks up flashing Beer Crisis phone*
There’s no need to fear! Beer Guy is here!
*slams down phone, jumps into Beermoblie, peels out*
August 12th, 2006 at 3:53 pm
Stupid things I’ve done driving (since my hometown is a Canadian hick-center, this shall be lengthy):
Eating full fast food meals
iPod finetuning
CD changing
newspaper reading (reading classifieds)
Use e-brake to drift a FF on a right-angle corner on gravel (fun, except in winter…4 time winter ditch hitter here.)
using knees to hold the wheel as hands are occupied (still do it >
August 12th, 2006 at 4:57 pm
Evo was definitely in Vancouver. We managed to quash the story that would have proved it to you. But I’ll give you a hint, it involves both of his eyebrows.
August 12th, 2006 at 10:01 pm
RE: Crazy driving stuff…
I saw one guy reading a paperback novel while driving in rush hour traffic.
I saw another guy reading the paper while driving, then rear-ending the woman in front of him.
August 13th, 2006 at 4:00 pm
OMG Picture this if you can….Firday commute home…. Guy with a Big Mac in the left hand. Pad of paper held on steering wheel by left elbow. Cell phone held on right ear by right shoulder (mind you the Chicago area has a ban on cell phone use without a hands free device), pen in right hand taking notes on pad of paper.
He was in the middle lane and we were all doing about 40-45 miles per hour. I got as far away from that car as I could
August 13th, 2006 at 7:27 pm
“Sack Squash” Beer? Were they intending to use one of my aliases to name a skunky beer? If so, they deserve a tree thwacking…
August 13th, 2006 at 7:39 pm
Don’t worry oh large hairy and most likely mythical one…the beer was “Sac-squatch” from the Sac-ramento Brewing Co. in California’s capitol city. And it wasn’t the least skunky
August 14th, 2006 at 7:56 am
Not Skunky? Good!
My favorite beer from Sacramento is Coors Light and …
Wait no, thats from EXcremento…
August 14th, 2006 at 10:54 am
squash & beer? Why not just have a V8?
August 14th, 2006 at 11:01 am
Cause I dont like tomato juice.
Thats right, I just pronounced it “Toe-mah-toe”.
August 14th, 2006 at 1:49 pm
Thanks for playing the Promo, guys, we miss Farscape too!
But for the important things. The SPACE Channel recently aired a brief SoaP interview with SLJ on their website:
http://www.spacecast.com/wvx/2006/07/hs_060731.wvx
August 15th, 2006 at 6:17 pm
Squash in beer can be tasty. Consider pumpkin ales popular around halloween and thanksgiving. Mythical? I suppose some would describe me as mythical, though I won’t vouch for mythically what…
