Two old schoolmates share a mystery bottle of wine and have a yarn about old and new topics.

The rising, whooshing sound meant to mimic a rocketlifting off was actually created by eccentric producer Joe Meek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Meek) using the sound of a flushing toilet in his apartment building, which he then recorded and played backward. The futuristic lead melody was played on a clavioline,an early electronic keyboard instrument.

36 Two Glasses of Whine
Having secured their younger demographic in the previousepisode, the Gentlemen revert to type and spend an hour complaining about stuff.
They still don’t know wine.
· There are exactly 2,114,674 licensed drivers in Western Australia, according to Transport WA annual records. Multiply that by $100!
· 1 lumen is roughly equivalent to the amount of visible light given off by a single birthday candle when you are standing 1 foot away.
· Despite our rambling conversation, much of what we said about AUKUS is on the mark. Worth doing some research on what might be a better way to spend $368 billion.

Sister’s Run 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
