Dorks on Corks on 4-1 (“Weird Al” Yankovic and Schnebly Redland’s Winery)

Barry and Abigail discuss In 3-D by “Weird Al” Yankovic and sample AvoVino, Carambola Wine, Guava Wine, Passion Fruit, and Lychee Wine from Schnebly Redland’s Winery in Homestead, Florida. Barry saw “Weird Al” in July 1996 at The Fonda Theater in Hollywood, California during The Bad Hair Tour. Years later, in August 2015, Barry surprised Abigail with tickets to see “Weird Al” at The Broward Center for the Performing Artsduring The Mandatory World Tour. JP, our wine tour guide from Schnebly, recommended pairing several of the wines with locally-produced smoked fish dip from What Are We Smokin'? Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo in Beat It by Michael Jackson. Rick Derringer of The McCoys (who produced In 3-D) recreated the guitar solo on Eat It by “Weird Al.” Don Pardo of Saturday Night Live fame appears on I Lost on Jeopardy, “Weird Al”’s parody of Jeopardy by The Greg Kihn Band. The Egg Scrambler is a real product advertised by Ron Popeil that was referenced by “Weird Al” in Mr. Popeil. Ron’s sister Lisa Popeil was one of the backup singers in “Weird Al”’s Mr. Popeil! Up next… KICK by INXS (for real this time) Jingles (and the "Dorks on Corks" theme song) are by our friend Pete Coe.
