Brian Craig, the co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show, was speaking to a very very weird caller who claimed he had a "gotcha" tape of Brian saying something earlier on the show that day (August 20, 2024). When challenged by Brian to play the tape the weird caller said he couldn't because the tape was too far away from him in his house as if he lived in some sort of vast mansion. Brian then speculated that the caller was probably drunk on Thunderbird. Later in the show Brian explained he mentioned Thunderbird because he remembered my story about an Englishman on a cruise ship five years ago asking me for a recommendation for a fine American wine and I told him "Thunderbird."
I actually have a video of me subsequently encountering the Englishman and his group with me teaching them the Thunderbird ("What's the Word? THUNDERBIRD!") jingle. Unfortunately I could not find that video on my cell phone. However, Kamala Harris saved the day for me by telling me about files floating in a cloud just above my head.
A bonus section here with the most BIZARRE TV commercial ever made with an unexpected celebrity endorsement of... Thunderbird.
PING!
Redd Foxx’s Fred Sanford used to mix Ripple with Champaign and call it “Champipple”.
My SIL interviewed for marketing job at Canandaigua wine Company , maker of that fine tipple MAD DOG 20 20 When told that the job required visits to skid row liquor stores and bar to assesses how sales were doing and to push the product decided that the job was not for her .............
Did she object to the training in how to properly place the products in brown paper bags?
I remember going into shops where they kept the Aqua Velva aftershave in the refrigerated case.
Low rent...tough hood.
The American Classic.
Says right on the label.
Back in the day, don’t know current status but,
They sold Mad Dog in 7-11 in Florida.
Dump half the sugary crap out, and refill with the Magic Elixir.
Spring Breakers could carry that “Slurpee” around anywhere.
Given the powerful men Kamala serviced working her way up the political ladder she must have upgraded her wine of choice to at least Ernie and Julio Gallo or some wine in a box variety
That’s why the government is spraying us with chemtrails.
They are stealing all of our data when it ascends into the stratosphere.
If you check out Florida 7-11s at daybreak, you are almost sure to see the bums hanging around holding paper bags with Colt 45 inside.
LOL! I've got several bottles of Blue Curacao liqueur. I use that to make POWERFUL Margaritas. So powerful that I call them Knock-Knock Margaritas because they are so powerful that if they don't knock you out right away, they will at least knock you off your feet.
You put the bag over the product. Used to travel quite a bit and in one state, don’t remember which, I bought a six pack , and as the clerk was bagging it I said “I don’t need a bag, the neighbors know I drink”. His reply was, by law the booze could not be visible, and had to be in a bag when I left the store.
“...If you check out Florida 7-11s at daybreak, you are almost sure to see the bums hanging around holding paper bags with Colt 45 inside...”
At the downtown Broudys in St. Augustine, there used to be an overgrown vacant lot behind the store, where there were mattresses and trash, and you knew that was were all the rubbies hung out after buying their bottle.
Eventually, I guess the city came in and finally cleaned up that eyesore of a lot.
Yeah, she looks like she’s in the Franzia demographic.
What’s the word?
Thunderbird!
What’s the price?
44 twice!
One of my friends who used to work for a beverage distributor once gave me a bottle of Night Train. I think I took a sip to see what it was like and dumped out the rest. Aack!
We used to joke about wines with screw caps on them, but now it’s commonplace even on more upscale labels.
