In this episode of the Cabernet Queens Podcast, hosts Matt Morgan and Deb Lee are back with another helping of wine, laughter and wonderfully unpredictable conversation. Matt makes a shocking confession about his newfound love of Crocs, while Deb shares her experiences of an incredible trip to Dartmoor, including a visit to one of Britain's quirkiest pubs.

Crocs: From Fashion Disaster to Wardrobe Essential

Matt admits that after years of mocking people who wear Crocs, he's now completely converted. Having received a pair as a birthday present, he wears them everywhere, including the office. Deb remains unconvinced, preferring her trusty Birkenstocks and questioning whether Matt is turning into an old man before his time.

A Memorable Escape to Dartmoor

Deb shares stories from a relaxing break in Dartmoor with Tan, family and friends. One highlight is discovering an extraordinary pub filled with unusual decorations, quirky furniture and fascinating musical connections. The trip reminds them both of the joys of escaping everyday life and working somewhere with a beautiful view.

Glastonbury, Love and Handfasting

Deb recalls the handfasting ceremony she and Tan shared at Glastonbury before their wedding. Their friends surprised them by dressing up for the occasion, turning a simple pagan ceremony into an unforgettable celebration. With their tenth wedding anniversary approaching, Deb hopes to return to Glastonbury and renew their vows, provided they can secure tickets.

The Joy of Reconnecting with Old Friends

Matt tells the remarkable story of reconnecting with Amir, a close friend he hadn't spoken to for 20 years following a disagreement. After a vivid dream prompted him to get back in touch, the pair reunited in London and immediately picked up where they'd left off. Their night out ended at 5am, proving that some friendships never really fade.

"I'm literally turned to the Croc side. I wear them for work. I wear them now."

"We had no clue. No clue." – Deb recalls how friends surprised her and Tan at their Glastonbury handfasting ceremony.

"It's nicer sometimes to work looking out at the moors than it is looking at streets of Aldridge."

"I would actually really struggle to drink this at home." – A rare negative verdict on the mystery wine.
