    30 Novelty Offcuts

    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! LINKS: Get Smart Condensed: Here is the second one.
