WE'RE GOING DOWNER, WHERE YOU ALWAYS GET A FREE ONION - (BIG MIKE OF THIS IS IT FURNITURE INTERVIEW)

Big Mike, previously from This Is It Furniture and now Big Mike's Mattress and Furniture Warehouse, comes on the podcast to discuss his super famous local commercials and much more! The phrases "We're going DOWNER DOWNER DOWNER!" and "Where you always get a FREE ONION!" have been a significant part of the greater Champaign, IL area's commercial lore for over 33 years and we finally get some explanations on the history and behind the scenes look on the process and fame. You won't wanna miss these deals! Thanks again Big Mike, this episode was very fun!
