  • 30 Has the Novelty Worn Off?
    Feb 19 2026

    The Gentlemen explore novelty songs across the decades.

    And would you believe, Max and 99 have trouble in a phone booth.

    Offcuts supplied for the dedicated listener.

    The wine details: Montepulciano D’Abruzzo 2024.

    A popular dry, red Italian wine made from the Montepulciano grape in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy. Known for its excellent value, it typically features robust dark fruit flavours (like black cherry and plum), soft tannins, and a medium tofull body. Shares similarities in body, structure, and generous dark fruit flavours with Shiraz!

  • 04 Four on the Floor Toms
    Feb 18 2026

    Robert sabotages proceedings with stinky cheese.

    A couple of well-known clogs are permanently popped.

    Robert is deeply cut.

    Zucchero and Tom get nasty.

    We hit the skins.

    Physics saves Julius Sumner Miller.

    We tend the Radio Garden.

    Is that you Hoo? And the conversation picked up again.

    It WAS a Shiraz.

    The wine was supplied by Ray-Lynne.

    The wine details:

    MR.MICK Shiraz, Clare Valley, 2020 by Tim Adams.

    “The wine has lifted violet and blueberry fruit bouquet with nuances of oak and spice. It is rounded and full bodied with soft tannins and dark ruby berries. The perfect wine for any red meat dishes.”

    $16.99 or two for $30 at Liquor Barrons, Marmion.
