Wait, I didn't imagine this, and we had a chat
about this anyhosy whatever, saying chief planning officer of my

first in July. My wife is not around during the
day of our daughter's twenty first. She's on a training course,
so we're having dinner and evening, but during the day
she's going to have an awesome day.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's her twenty first She sat me down yesterday.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
She said, Hey, listen to couple friends of mine hearts,
just show that you're very excited.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
You've got a couple of pans.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
We had a planning meeting yesterday where I was given
some guidelines slash rules. So the idea is, and she's
really up for this, she's already spoke to a couple
of mates, is that I'm going to hire one of
these minibuses that do wine tours. You're going to go
and do like three wineries. You know, it'd be really
nice during the day, and it's it's interesting when you
go to wineries. You try the different wines, you compare

(02:40):
them and grade them and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's a good fun thing to do.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
So the first thing, she said, when we go to
the wineries, you're not to spend too much time chatting
to people there. Yes, I love to yack it up,
stick a few wines in me. I mean you, best mate,
she said, Hi, am front and center of attention, not
some rando at the bar who you're s being phone
numbers in because you're lonely in the middle aged low.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Next with her best.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Friend could be one of these wineries. But okay, no
chatting to too many. But so I can't be rude,
I can't arrive and it's goes no time for you, maarman,
all the wine flights and zip it. No surprises, Oh,
I said yes, but I really mean no, I'm not

(03:25):
signing off on that. There will be surprises. Also, nothing tacky.
She got win yesterday, the personalized good I'm still looking
for that.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I'm going to do it. So I don't think that's tacky.
I think it's classy. Nothing tacky. Now, yeah, that is.
You do lean towards I know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I'm a discerning, stylish gentleman abound town.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
That is not true at all. Merch is off the table. No, no, no, no,
she's okay with merch merchant. No it's not. But that's
like saying the sports logo is attacky. That's much Yeah okay, yeah, no, no,
this would.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Be very classy. Not too many emotions. She was more
or less well, she was staring at me like died
it down. We don't want staring off at a distance
at eny of the Oh my god, it's so.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Quickly memories Marine Fire on the Mini Bus.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
That is song number one of the players. I start
to make the emotions memory, bring memory, not too many emotions.
And I think linked to that she said no speech.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Okay, so no talking, fair enough.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
You have to do his speech like getting the minimus
and go off we go. Indeed, Ruby might feel that
she wants to do a speech.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
But you don't need to speak every day on the radio.
But that's a radio show. It's a different context. Twenty
first Sorry, you don't get a choice. We do speeches
at you. That's what happens at the twenty first. So
if you want to speak, speak.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Not just that the time, the effort, yes, money getting
that through these twenty one years.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
If I want to say something, I will say something.
It's a rite, a passage. You have to have an
embarrassing speech. That won't be embarrassing. I'm a pro great speech,
good speech, great speech. We want to up the like

The one thing I do need some help with. Yesterday
I started to I googled like wine bust tours. There's
like obviously hundreds of them.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, they've all got great reviews.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
You don't know who's any good and my wife and
I I can't name any names, had quite a bad experience.
Once we'd hired somebody, they rang and said, we can't
do the tour today, but don't worry. I'm sending someone
who will do it. They don't normally do the tours.
You know, you're like, what red flag this person? One point,

like feeling, She said, where are you man? We didn't
know what we're going on? He goes so, I just
fell asleep in the lay by around the corner.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
So I'm a bit nervous, yes, yes, about booking someone.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
So here's what I need.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
If anyone's been on a wine tour and the people
that they use and books are through, they can personally
say we're really good. You don't need to call in
and appreciate you really busy, but you really would be
helping me out. I really do need to find out
a great company to do this. Can you just text me?
It really really helped me and help me. This is
