Late on "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show" today, we talked to writer, director, radio guy, comedian and actor Stephen Merchant.

Sports fans are a strange bunch. They're super passionate about their teams and all thing related. And they're willing to step outside and fight at any moment.

With the World Cup going on, the entire country has soccer fever -- at least for a few weeks.

Radio legend Casey Kasem is missing.
