Oh, were they like, oh my God, it's French. Did they have a mouthful of something?

Oh, shut. Oh, no, that's New Zealand. Oh, shut. No, they were. I think they were Kiwis that had moved something? Oh, shut. Oh, no, that's New Zealand. Oh, shut. No, they were. I think they were Kiwis that had moved there. Oh, shut. I've heard about them then. Yeah, there's a few of them.

They go over there. Oh, I'm more than one. Oh, okay. Because my brother's one of those. Yeah. My brother's too. He moved a long time ago. And they said, yeah, they listen to the podcast.

No, she heard me talking to Dr. Shawnee. It was like, are you Fletch? And I was like, God, I can't go anywhere. God, how embarrassing. I can't lie. Oh,ch and I was like God I can't go anywhere it's so famous God I'm so famous God Oh my God how embarrassing

I can't holiday anywhere Oh no the paparazzi everywhere I can't go to Christchurch anymore The paparazzi everywhere when we got off the bus It's terrible No we were going

to Bondi like Kiwis do Yeah Bondi and they do the sculpture walk every year. If you're ever in Sydney, I recommend it. I've been so many times.

It's so great. What's your favourite? Probably the spaceship. I put it on my story. It was like a stainless steel. Because you didn't have internet this weekend, eh? No, I didn't see it. I'll show you a photo of the spaceship, Hayley.

I didn't see it either. Well, thanks. But I saw it. But you guys have hidden me, though. We're not on close. I've hidden you long ago this was my favorite there was a banana that was a shark love that it was a banana that was a shark jimmy did you see it yes okay i saw the banana shark and i saw the monkey with

and there was this one too and there was monkey with what's that one what's that one this is like a tintin rocket oh my god that is so. And then just all kinds of like different abstract stuff. Sculpture by the sea. Yeah, every year it's amazing. Free to the public. And yeah, it goes for like a month and I've managed to catch a couple. Now is this Spawn? Have they spawned you?

They haven't spawned me, no. No, it's just there with- Non-spawn. Just a curator of the arts really, aren't you? Just, you know, I am a, what do you call them? But you didn't even know that the sculpture walk was on when you initially went

when we booked our holiday I didn't know but yeah it's great definitely worth it these look cool okay but do you know what I wanted to talk about

is something that nearly broke my cold robot heart what did the person on the bus say after you said yes oh no we just had a chat and then they were

getting off to were they beside themselves meeting their hero they actually had to get off the stop early because I was so overwhelmed. Yeah, right. They were like, I just cannot hack this. They were just going shopping and I said, I'll give you a shout out on the podcast, but I can't remember their names.

I was so fucking hungover. Were you? You had a big Friday, didn't you? Big Friday. Sunglasses were on. Did you swim it off in the beach? No, we didn't go swimming. It wasn't that.

It was like sunny, but it wasn't hot, hot. Embarrassing. But there were lots of people swimming. You could have been on Bondi Rescue. So anyway, we went to the Coogee Bay Hotel. That's a classic spot. We love Coogee. And we were getting the bus back into the city.

And this is the moment that nearly broke my robot cold heart. Oh, my God. So we were just waiting. We had a couple of minutes to wait. And I noticed out of the side of my eye this guy and he just had this like tear running down his like eye like over his nose and down and i was like it's called crying he doesn't even know what it's called it was like his wet his eye was kind of puffy yeah and he was breathing a bit different no but i was like is he like i didn't know if it was like a sweat.

Yeah. Because it was like, it was quite hot. Yeah. It's like 22 degrees, like sunny day. And I was like, is he sweating? Or like, is he actually upset? And then I was like, like trying not to stare. Yeah.

But he was like, he was like upset. But it wasn't like. Sobbing. You know, sobbing or blubbery face. Like he was just like, kind of just emotionless. Yeah. And just had this tear running down. And I was like,

oh my God, he's crying in public. That's real sad. Oh God, we've all done that. And then this girl walks up to him and gives him a tissue, like a serviette.

And I'm like, oh, is that his girlfriend? Oh my God, maybe they're fighting in public. And then she walked away. And she said, wipe those off your face,

you pussy. Yeah, man up, puss. No, she walked over and stood somewhere else. She didn't even know him. Oh, that's so beautiful.

She gave a stranger a tissue and I was just like, oh my God. That is so beautiful. You must have been hungover. That's not enough to break you. Yeah, because I was quite vulnerable. Yeah, you must have been in a bony spot. I was bonies and hungover. No, that is beautiful though.

That got me. It was such a beautiful moment. I was like, she doesn't even know him, but she's seeing that he's having obviously a moment where he's upset about something. What do you call it? This crying thing. Crying. Crying.

Yeah, it's crying. I was just like, that is so beautiful. But what if he was a piece of shit and he was crying because he was a piece of shit? He just realized he was a piece of shit. Well, like he'd been like, his girlfriend's like, you have been shitting on me. It's over.

And he's like, but that's not fair. I wanted my cake and I wanted to eat it too. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know the backstory. I don't think it's a gentle cry. Yeah, it's just a really gentle. And I was just like, that is so nice.

That's really. So did you. Because even if I had a tissue, I wouldn't have done that because I don't know the guy and I don't know what he's like. I don't want to. I don't know. Oh, that's nice. It is nice when someone has a tissue and you cry.

Yeah, and you've got a box of tissues here in the and every time hayley takes one you count well you can't have two on a particularly snotty week he's always like oh two i see and then marks it on his box they're three ply tissues so when you've got a cold you're going through so many tissues you don't need six i need six ply one at a time and you fold it over that's's enough for a snuff. No, but then it all blows out the side if it's not enough. I mean, I would have handed him a tissue and said one less in the box. Yeah, you would have. Yeah, wow.

What a prick. Just remember this when I need my tissue. Your plans just died, but only use two. Have you got 50 cents on you, sir? That's what he would have said. He would have text him. Oh, what a beautiful moment. You should have a cry today. You should try.

Try for a cry. Really good for you. That's good. Really good fun. Oh, he's trying to squeeze it out. What are you doing with your fucking face? Is that what you did? What is that?

I was trying to squeeze it out. No, you've got to furrow your brow, which these days is a bit harder for me. But you furrow your brow and you've got to change your breath. And you just get tears out. And see, I've now got the fizz in my nose. I can come out any moment. It's beautiful. You can just make yourself do that?

Yeah, I know. It's wild. I'll cry on your behalf. Thank you.
