Wait, you've made friends with a neighbour. So, a few weeks ago, I was leaving for work, and I felt like someone was waiting for me at the elevator. because there's no one else calling the elevator at that time of day. Like you can just go. And she was there and then she was like... What at like 4 a.m.? It was about 4.30 in the morning.

And she was like, hi, she introduced herself. She's like, I notice you live here. I work... She told me the place very near us and she said, would you like to walk to work together? And I said, this is the best thing ever. Does she start at the same time? Yes.

And so I just thought it was incredible to have the ball. to like come up to me and be like, would you like to walk together? Yeah, because is she a Gen Z as well? I would say 30s-ish. Oh, okay, yeah. Yeah, but still like... So old like Haley.

Yeah. No, I was going to say a young female out then. Oh, yeah. Real old. Real old. Real old. But yeah, I just admired that she had the balls to do this. So are you going to take this friendship?

Do you feel beyond the walk? Well, I've got... So this happened a few weeks ago. We've kind of seen each other since. On the walk, she's like... Every day. Have you been walking a school bus to work? No. Do you think about her throughout the day

and look at your phone to see if she's text to you? I'm like, how's Bella? Her name's Bella. Oh, okay. Sounds like love. She said to me at one point, she's like, you have a big boyfriend day? And I was like, yeah. She's like, he's tall.

Okay, so wait, now she's coming for your man. Yes, she is. She wants a threason with your ma'am. She was like, where is he all the time? And I was like, oh, and I explained, like he travels. And I was like, oh, does she laugh? When you said he's a traveling magician, with crunchy bars? I didn't say magician. I just said he travels.

Wait, has he left any crunchy bars for me again? No, he did leave Fletcher Treaty one time. Because I love crunchy bars. Did we eat it? Yes, I said, have you got your crunchy bars? He said yes. Did we eat in that crunchy he left yet? Yeah, the emergency crunchy. I ate it after you left one day.

Damn it! We watched him do it. Oh my, my. I thought we're going to shoot you there. No, quite often I don't tell people like date a magician, because it's just a whole conversation. At that time of morning, we're just we're trying to walk to work yeah it's why so i get the same like with our job they're like what do you do for a job i just to save conversation so i'm a pilot yeah oh no that's so conversation starting that's more that's more oh god i say i work in marketing sometimes he

he says he works in event management i'm just an accountant no nobody's asking follow-up questions when you say you're an encounter day they're like oh cool cool okay cool um but no so her and i we've become friends and i was like awesome yesterday i was in the apartment relaxing my partner was in the other room in a meeting a magic meeting yeah yeah they do that so they have meetings no he was with a talking to a client about an upcoming gig and so I was in my room

and then suddenly someone knocks on the door I have never heard someone knock on our door I've lived there nearly two years I'll say it is weird when you live in a apartment I've had this before and someone knocks on you're like how did you get through the three doors well I was like it's the police because I know that they can come in and they can knock on the door

yeah and they're always at your apartment and they literally live they have They've rented an apartment in your apartment block. Shannon's apartment building is called Meth Towers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't give out my address on the floor. Sorry. I don't really when I live in Meth Towers, Auckland Central.

Stop it. That's private. No, so I hear the door knock panic. Like, I genuinely my heart sank. And at the time, I was watching a Snapchat from Carmen. And I had to let it expire because I was like, I had to do a replay. And then I was like, apologies for the replay. Anyway, I'm panicking. And I was like, I'm not answering the door.

No matter where I live, I will never answer the door. I'm scared. So then I go and interrupt my partner's meeting and I was like, someone's knocking on the door, you've got to deal with this. Like, pause your meeting. Yeah. Go see what this is. And then I go hide in the room, shut the door.

Like, I'm not dealing with this. You know you're not seven, right? I feel it. I love that. She does feel it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he goes and deals with it. And then I hear his tone be so nice.

And I was like, it's not the police. Like he would have been like, no drug tear, mate, you know? Yeah, yeah. I know it's meth towers, but no, no drugs here. Wrong apartment. No, no, I just magic. Also, he could be like, look, I've got me, gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And, like, charge me now with no evidence. Yeah, yeah, where is it? Exactly. So he's not talking, and he was like, oh my goodness, she's not here right now, but that is so kind of you. Like, I'll pass this on. Yeah, that's so cool. Like, so nice to meet you. Yep, I'm this, I'm the, they start chatting.

He comes in the, he leaves and she shuts the door and all this. And Brendan's like, your friend's given you a present. And I was like, oh my goodness. You're a walking friend. My walking friend. So she lives four doors down The same as bed It's a three doors down

It's a three doors down Covers Band Yeah they're not quite as good It's a little bit further away from it Let me find a song Yeah I can do that for A three doors down song Thank you

It's probably on my um Your Dad's Sunday Yard lit Yeah A hundred percent I did feel bad that my friend came to have a play date And I hid from her Like I'm not dealing with this

Well do you have her number Because maybe next time she can message and say... So she wrote me this lovely note and gave me a present and said it's been so nice getting to know you. Would you like to connect on Instagram? Here's my Instagram. And gave me a beautiful pair of like

cutesy socks. Like artsy socks. How good as socks is a gift? I'm in and out of the sock gifting phase of late. I love a pair of socks. And she knows I wear lots of patterns. Like it was very like she nailed it. Thoughtful. Yeah. And that's gorgeous note and so then I messaged her on Instagram and And I said, it's so good to have your Instagram.

Like, I feel like we've levelled up the friendship. Cute. And then she was chatting, and we were talking about how long we've lived there and stuff. Because our chats have been very surfaced, but it's a short walk. Of course. And then she said to me, and this is a big moment this morning. She said, look, I'm moving out in a few months. Oh, Bella!

Wow. This is this whole story's with it. What a roller coaster. And so Bella said, I've got some plants. She wore my plants. Marijuana. Yeah, meth gummede. Yeah, meth plant.

They don't even bother getting the marijuana plants in this, in meth tower. They've got bigger fish to fry. No, so she's like, do you want my plants? And I was like, this is scary because we're new friends. Is she moving to Australia? I didn't ask. Because you would just take your plants if you're moving across the city. But I said, I'm really bad with plants.

I've never kept one alive. I kill cactus, you know? It's not my thing. And I was like, well, I don't want to kill your plants. And then she just laugh reacted it. And now neither of us have spoken. in. We're at a stale mate. I haven't really said I don't want the plants, but she...

Well, maybe her four-a-three-dose-down cover spans taken off. Yeah. And she's having to travel the world, four-doors down. Why don't you ask her where she's moving to? Yeah, I should. That's the next question I say. Next day. So whereabouts are you heading? Where are you off? Yeah, because now I'm wondering, is it time I ask her if she wants to go out for like... But why is she bothering with friendship when she's leaving? I think it's just this comradeer of women and we're walking together.

And she didn't know much about the area. And so I was like, Here's our local brothel, and I pointed it out, and I said, don't stand too close to it, because they'll pick you up. Because someone once offered $100, didn't they? And you were like, how rude, I'm at least worth five. It was double there. You per bit. No, and it was just had a lovely surface level friendship,

but is it time to take it to the next level? But she's leaving me. She's leaving. I wouldn't bother. It's a dead end. It's a dead end. I wouldn't bother. But what if she's just moving down the road?

Why is she not taking her plants? Now I'm like, there's suspicious activity happening here. And also, has she put a camera in the plant? because she wants to see your magician boyfriend, how he does it. Well, she came up to throw with that. She wants to see him practice. Well, she just likes that he's tall.

It was one of the first things she said to me. She's like, your boyfriend's big. She wants to be, she wants to get in the box with you and you be the front half of the lady and she be the legs. Haley, I don't fit in the box and it's a really soft effect. Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm too big. I wouldn't fit in the box either. I don't think we would know. No one's fitting in the box. It's an unrealistic beauty standard to be a box fitter. Don't put you in boxes, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man.

Poor doors down. song. He left you hold a towel. We'll let you know if I take the plants. Okay. Yeah, good luck. When she leaves, you will be here without her.

Just like the song, Here Without You. Here Without You, Baby! Still with you in my dreams. I got a big boyfriend. Can I dream about you in the box? Bella! But you're still with me in my dreams. Thank you.
