Steve was born and raised in Jersey, which many people are surprised to hear is referred to as "The Garden State." He attended Monmouth University and after realizing that he had no desire to take Microeconomics, he figured he'd be a Radio major and work for the college radio station, WMCX. Some highlights include interviewing awful bands, saying the F-word on the air a few times and excelling at mediocre radio. This led to a job working for a number of years at 105.7 The Hawk, which is where his paths crossed with the Free Beer and Hot Wings show. Initially a board op, Steve eventually worked his way up to the position of Assistant Program Director of the station. He then worked for the NHL in New York City for a year. And now he's here. Steve is married to his wife Annette, who he met on stage while playing "The Dating Game" at a Live at Night show in 2014. He considers himself to be "literally the worst game show prize ever." Together, they are trying not to screw up the life of their daughter Evelyn too badly.

FBHW Give an Intern a Makeover [VIDEO]
We have an intern on the show who we refer to as Thurman Merman, because of his striking resemblance to the character of the same name from the movie Bad Santa. He has the curliest hair we’ve ever seen. Last week while talking to him, we started to wonder what it would look like if his hair were straight...
WWE’s Big Show Talks Parenting with FBHW [VIDEO]
The WWE is in town this week for an event, so a few weeks ago, we were approached by some of their people to see if we wanted to interview one of the guys to promote the event. It turns out that the 7’, 441 pound Big Show was the one that would be stopping by the studio...
Producer Steve Says: It Might Be Time To Have THE Talk With Your Parents [VIDEO]
We learned on the show today that STDs are on the rise in the senior community. We talked to a doctor who was spearheading a program that encourages safer sex for senior citizens, which you can check out at SaferSexForSeniors.org. We joked about how awkward it must be if you’re someone who has to have THAT talk with your parents, because it usually goes the other way...
Eric Zane, Human Slingshot! [VIDEO]
I’ve said it before. I’m not a huge sports fan. I was a really big fan when I was a kid, but as the years went on and I got older, I got less and less interested. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy going to sporting events and watching games on TV, but I just don’t get in to it nearly as much as I used to...
Did You Know that Hot Wings Has Kids and Every Day is an Adventure? [VIDEO]
Each morning on the show, we record a Show Meeting video and post it on our website for VIP members to FreeBeerAndHotWings.com. It’s basically an extra segment to the daily podcast, but in video form. Each show member has the responsibility of leading the Show Meeting once a week so the rest of us can get a better idea of what’s going on in their life

Producer Steve’s Goal in Life: Be Immortalized as a Bobblehead!
I have few goals in life. In fact, I have just three.
1. Set the world record for the collection of the most barf bags. Why? Why not!
2. Never lose a game of Dizzy Bat Baseball. So far I'm 1-0.
And 3. I want to be immortalized as a bobblehead...
A Former FBHW Intern Needs Your Help! [VIDEO]
You may remember Carmen. She interned here at the show about four years ago. I never worked with Carmen, but I met her when she came in to visit once or twice in the time that I’ve been here. What you may not know about Carmen is that she’s been a paraplegic from birth...
Producers Joe and Steve Host Afternoons on WGRD [AUDIO]
As you're well aware by this point, Dahmer has left his afternoon spot here at WGRD. The powers that be at the station definitely seemed unprepared for this, because they've decided to go the 'ol "fill-in guest" route to plug the time in between JT's award-winning program and Jackie's show at night...
Producer Steve Says Goodbye to an Old Friend
Today was a pretty sad day for me. For the last few weeks, I have been struggling with a pretty difficult decision that I knew I had to make, yet I kept putting it off because I didn’t have the courage to do it. I couldn’t get this old friend of mine out of my head...
Producer Steve Wants to Know: What’s the Strangest Thing You’ve Had in Your Mouth?
Earlier this morning on the show, we watched a video that really disturbed me. I mean, it REALLY disturbed me. I thought for sure I was going to throw up while watching it, but managed to keep it together. Apparently if you live in the city of Dongyang in China (yes, DONGyang), there’s a local treat that many of the natives eat on a regular basis...
Watch the FBHW Show Eat Placenta…Kinda! [VIDEO]
The other day on the show, we talked about January Jones and her comments about eating placenta and popping placenta pills when she feels a bit sluggish. Of course, she was mocked pretty harshly because, to us, it seemed like the “research” she did wasn’t really based in any sort of fact...
Another Animated Version of What Hot Wings Thinks! [VIDEO]
There's a stoner that works here at the radio station that we lovingly refer to as Stoner Andy. He's an odd fellow, but we like him well enough. He's a pretty funny guy who was made famous to listeners of our show because of his epic "Woah, that chair let out a moan" quote when he broke a char at Zane's house at Loser Thanksgiving...
