Wingin’ It #78: Charlie has his “Wash Dies” moment

This week, we bring you Mike, Summer, Charlie, and Jack.

First Drink of the Day: Bard’s Tale Dragon’s Gold from Flying Bison Brewing


And on this show:

  • Summer tells a pseudo-Mur joke.
  • Lots and lots of comments on the beer.
  • Big things happenin’ at Speaking of Beer. Apparently, The Beer Report shit all over Charlie’s podcast. On the plus side, his audience grew a bit as a result. So, we love these guys, right?
  • Get Your Geek Off: Does your penis say to-may-toe, or to-mah-toe?
  • A Haiku Moment: Testicle Discourse
  • More kilt wedgie and thong discussion. Ok, I have to interject here. Mike, what the hell is the difference between a thong and a g-string?
  • Scott Sigler never orders the macho combo!
  • Rebeer! with the Northcoast Brewing Company: PranQster, Old Plow Share Stout, and another one I can’t spell or find.
  • Summer brings science fiction back to Wingin’ It, just for a moment. There’s going to be an animated Space Balls television series.
  • Are you a credits watcher?
  • Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp is now on DVD.
  • Discussion about some shows I was too young to watch: H.R. Pufnstuf, and Lidsville.
  • Scifi Poetry Slam: The Future, by ???

Next week, Mike and Evo will be out at the Portable Media Expo. Should be a live show from there.

  • Wow, weird. It appears that I am the first poster. Who woulda thunk it. Kinda sucks about the whole Beer Report thingy. I am glad to hear that Charlie is taking it in hand. Guys like that piss me off. They remind me of the jocks in high school (way back when). The ironic thing is that they are podcasting. Back when I was in highschool, the jocks would never come anywhere near a computer. That was reserved for the geeks and nerds, and was considered as way beneath them. Who knows. Maybe in another 20 years they will be gaming.

  • Daniel_fr_Tempe

    Congrats to Charlie for being the better man.

  • If you’d like to hear the Beer Report get the “treatment,” check out “The Real Happy Hour” Epispde 18 (the most recent one). TRHH plays a “clip” from TBR and has at it. It’s pretty hilarious…

  • Oh, the other North Coast Beer was Cru D’Or. It’s pretty tasty.

  • Rhettro

    Boy those guys actually thought they were cleaver. LOL Must be beer envy.

  • Rhettro

    Were cleaver as in beaver? Must learn to proof read.

  • No idea what you guys are talking about yet…but I just wanted to post.

    Ok.

    Well that was a D’enouement.

  • Patman

    Oh…there’s a PodWar…let’s git it on!

    There is a BIG difference with what WI says about others and most of time it’s a lovefest. You guys have your moments but it’s in good taste, those guys are SOB’s Like Summer said, WI does NOT outright criticize people directly. That’s just mean and stupid. It sounded like these idiots…well they’re just idiots. Kudos to Charlie….and Karen, try not to rip their heads off. You all rock!

  • Patman

    BTW, I had an ex-girlfriend that only ordered Guinness. So those “Beer Report” pussies don’t know what they’re talking about. HA! =P

  • Dude! Seriously.

    Women order Guiness all the time in Seattle.

    I read your comment on their board, Charlie, well done.

  • Hey,

    It just came to me… this is a beer [shameless plug] Fanboy Smackdown [/shameless plug]

    :P

  • The TBR shit is so stupid and unlistenable it is ridiculous. Aren’t they clever? They’ll tell me what to drink? Ha. At least Charlie puts information out and lets me decide. I’d much prefer to listen to Charlie.

  • I am a credits watcher.

    Mike: So, what are those “casting” names that you were talking about? I’d be interested in finding out.

  • The reason those guys don’t know what women order is because they’ve never actually been near one.

    Great job Charlie on being the cool dude!

  • Doz! How dare you say that! Youre a “geek” remember!!! You dont “get girls either”!!!!

    Whatta buncha fucks…. tho it was oddly entertaining hearing them spew insult after unthoughtout insult.

    Besides, Im the only one allowed to call Charlie a “fuck” :)

  • Wait… theyre the “bad boyz” of beer casting…

    Oh God… I gotta get into beer casting…

  • WHAT???!!!???!!!???!!

  • Alvie, ya fuck…

    …uh…that’s all I had to say…

  • Are we back to the fuck fuck?

  • Fuckity fuck fuck!!!!!!

  • Isn’t that Fuck fuckity fuck?

  • Got your back in the UK Charlie, those guys dont know nuffink, guv’nor. Bad Boys of Beer Podcasting my arse, more like giggling little boys who pass out after a lager shandy and sleep on a stack of porn. Okay who doesnt. But anyway they’re just Ignorant Barstewards. All the good women drink guinness. Love the show guys and gals, fairly new fan here.

  • Charlie, regarding the rebeer and Jack, “it may be better from a glass”, beer is ALWAYS better from a glass unless it’s something you don’t wanna smell, like Bud :D

    You are dead to me Charlie.

  • I agree with Patman, WI hardly ever attacks anyone except Alvie because he’s a “Fuckity fuck fuck!!!!!!”

  • Tom, thanks for the good words from across the pond!

    Thomas:

    URggghfarglegrrr…brrrrrrainsssss…

    *begins shuffling toward Flagstaff*

  • “Doz! How dare you say that! Youre a “geekâ€? remember!!! You dont “get girls eitherâ€?!!!!”

    Thanks a lot for reminding me Alvie…

    /afk with gun to head

  • Gil

    My wife orders Guinness when she goes to a bar, heck, that was the only thing she drank when we went to pubs when we were in Ireland.

    Maybe they’re just looking for women in the wrong places.

  • They are from IL, maybe it’s tougher to find good women there besides Andrea obviously.

  • no doz no doz no doz!!!!!!!!!! gun down doz I was being facetious! no doz no!!

  • Bob

    Jihad against beer report!

  • Bob

    Durka Durka, Mohamed Jihad

    Love that movie. Seriously though, these guys seem to trash everyone. They do it because they don’t actually know as much about beer as charlie does

  • I thought Charlie talked about this on the show, but I definately have with him in person, about the difference between a Beer Geek and a Beer Snob.

    They seem to fall into the Snob category which is fine and good, but can cloud their vision towards beer.

    I get that impression after listening to a show and reading the forum where he interacted with them and their comments on Shiner Bock.

  • Debbie

    For the record, I’m not a gamer.

    And I don’t really drink a lot of beer.

    But I love Charlie.

    Even if I don’t understand half the shit he says. He’s just a nice guy. What’s an IPA?

  • To late Alvie…to late…

  • *ahem*

    Debbie, an IPA is a catastrophic event that can occur during vigorous sexual congress. The acronym stands for “intra-penile aneuryism” and is marked by violent gouts of blood issuing from…

    …what..?

    …it’s a kind of BEER?

    You know, someone should do a podcast to clear that misunderstanding up…

  • Go on, Mr. Ghost…what are you dedicating to “late Alvie”?

  • To be fair, it was actually Greg from Craft Beer Radio who recorded the parody of the skit. Charlie has admitted that the skit was… well, it was easy to make fun of. Typically you would not send a Guiness drinker to try Shiner Bock, which is really an American Amber. Groucho and CHUD grow on you – you should subscribe to their podcast.

  • d00d, the CBR parody is on SoB, and yes it’s pretty hilarious. Wingin’ It got 100% pure unadulterated Groucho and CHUD. Deep into their show, if you know what I mean…

  • I resent that remark Charlie… We are anything but deep!

    Hey everyone… Thanks for all the kind words! I kinda expected to have this kind of response! You all are very loyal to Charlie and to the Far Point Media crowd!

    For the record, we always apologize during the next show for grievances stated on the previous program. Our next show will be no different. Charlie has corrected my sorry ass on several items that we slammed him for… So, we now know, that being drunk and jumping to conclusions with 1/2 the information is a problem. Next time, we will be drunk with 1/2 the info…. But stay away from the conclusions!

    Looking forward to hearing this show, it will be my first, I love hearing us get beat down like lowly dogs!

    Groucho

    PS, If anyone every calls me up to invite me to a CoC game using pre-D20 rules (I hate the new San. rules)… I am there! So much for the Jock theory!

  • WTF? The show is supposed to be a love fest when I’m not there! And you guys pick a fight with another podcast? Fuck, fuck FUCKITY FUCK! I feel so marginalized…

    (maybe I should listen to this show and see what it’s all about?)

  • Groucho, GOD DAMN IT!!! HOW CAN YOU STEAL OUR THUNDER LIKE THAT!!!
    Crap. I’ll just go drink a beer. :)

  • Michael Mennega

    Hey Groucho!

    I think it is very cool that you are here to respond to us. This shows good character on your part and I will be checking out the show because of it.

    If we start taking ourselves too seriously, there is always someone that will knock us back in place.

    Here’s too having fun, drinking beer and podcasting. ;-)

    You guys are ok in my book.

  • You don’t want to mess with Charlie. Not only is he THE beer guy, he’s got a posse.

    But, after listening to the latest Diggnation, it seems that Kevin Rose needs a bit of schooling.

  • Charles

    I just downloaded the beer report. It sucks.

  • Dave from Chicago

    Let me get this straight. These guys were ripping on gamers, but one of them knew what THAC0 meant. Methinks they doth protest too much.

  • Jason of West Oz

    CtBG – good on you for being the better man. Those Beer Report tossers need to learn some manners.

  • Michael Mennega

    Er… ok. I just downloaded a show. I’m with you Charles. This show is not Farpoint quality and they need a bit of direction. (And an engineer)
    It’s still cool they are taking the bashing well, but I’m not subscribing. ;-)
