Inside Hot Wings’ Sound Machine of Mystery
Hi Idiots.
Since the dawn of Free Beer and Hot Wings, three things have remained constant. While show members have come and gone, there have always been Free Beer, Hot Wings, and Hot Wings' Sound Machine. Known for classics such as "how's bragging camp going?" and "that must make banking difficult", Hot Wing's well-timed drops have created some pretty memorable moments.

So let's learn a bit about the machine itself, shall we?
Meet The Machine
Introducing the 360 Systems DR-554 Instant Replay Audio Clip Player DR-554-24E (phew, that was a mouthful). This bad boy is from the year 2000 and, according to Hot Wings, currently has 1000 different sound bites on it. He has been adding to it since the day he got it; however, because of advancing technology, he can no longer add to it. He knows plenty of clips are on the machine that he'd like to use, but some are labeled weirdly or are simply lost in the shuffle, and he cannot find them.

In addition, he has an iPad app with another 200+ sound bites, so he usually bounces back and forth between the two setups. Besides the buzzers and dings, Hot Wings thinks his most used drops are the arrow being shot that he uses when one show member burns another and the balloon sound effect.
Someday maybe he'll look into moving everything over, but for now, everything works as it needs to. But for now, if it ain't (totally) broken, don't fix it.
