We discussed the drastic reduction in the wine grape crush for 2022 and its impacts, Four’n Twenty pies in Japan, Weird flavoured ice-cream in England, Petrol stations going electric, some Odd Spots and the sale of Coopers Creek township in Gippsland, which inspired a chat about our very own sustainable township called Ruttsville or Scottytown. We played a snippet of Grown Ass Woman by Chapel Hart who are changing the dynamic of Country & Western music according to Scotty.
We had a couple of rants – Scotty inspired by Grace Tame and her work with domestic abuse, and Ruttsy on why there should be no kid’s menus in restaurants.
We said farewell to Archie Roach, Judith Durham & Olivia Newton John.

Scotty & Ruttsy celebrated the 100th episode of Two Smokin’ Guns. How on Earth have we flown under the radar this long?
We began the show with lots of sound effects and 15 minutes talking about wine…go figure!!
Because Ruttsy did a wine course and learnt something about appellations & Chateau’s (Castles), we played our favourite Castle songs: so you get Castles in the Air (Don McLean), Castles (Freya Ridings) & Castles in the Air (Hoodoo Gurus).
Then we bashed through our normal all-sorts of Vegan lunch canoes, Pollies outliving average citizens, Monkeypox & Music festivals, our favourite quotes over the years (including John Wayne’s “Life is hard, but it’s harder if you’re stupid”), the new Yeah, Yeah ambassador, the Code Red Jack Nicholson scene and La Nina stuff.
By the way, listen to Castles by Freya Ridings….thank us later!
Happy 100th episode from the Guns…
