Free Beer (Gregg Daniels) is a popular radio talk show host for the Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show syndicated along the East Coast of the United States and centered in Grand Rapids, MI at 97.9 FM WGRD.
Free Beer takes on callers each Friday morning in the "Free Beer Is Sportier Than Thou Challenge". The fact that he rarely loses the challenge has earned him the title of "El Matador". After he loses, his co-hosts strip him of the title until his next victory.
In contrast to his sports trivia memory, Free Beer admits that he knows very little about popular music, as evidenced by his poor record on "Name That Tune", and is a terrible singer, as he displayed when forced to sing "Open Arms" by Journey during the American Idol finals.
Free Beer also loves the NBA, and during his Sportier than Thou segment, the NBA is often described as "his wheelhouse." His favorite team is the Detroit Pistons, and his favorite player is former Piston, and current Piston President, Joe Dumars. He will, "Crush your facein" on Joe Dumars trivia.
Free Beer is alternately known as the "Burn King", due to his ability to insult people.
Also, when Free Beer finds something very funny, he laughs like Ricky Ricardo.
Free Beer also gets routinely caught accidentally making sexual noises during the broadcast which listeners point out to the other hosts, who edit them into techno songs and cellphone ring tones.

[edit] Other uses
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Buddy Wasisname and Lorne Elliott performed a musical/comedy act in bars from Newfoundland to Montreal which was called Free Beer.
A long-running joke, particularly among musicians, is that "Free Beer" is potentially the best name a fledgling band can choose; the idea stems from the fact that many such bands play gigs at bars and other alcohol-serving venues, and thus the advertising for a band with that name would run something to the effect of, "Free Beer tonight at Kelly's Bar!"
