00:10and he was crying.

00:11And he was so moved by it.

00:13He loved it.

00:14And he just loved the story of Mike and Claire.

00:17And so I took the opportunity.

00:18I said, ah, guys, I'd love to come round and have a cuppa

00:21or something.

00:22And they were like, and Neil's like, OK, yeah, all right.

00:27And then I didn't hear from Neil anymore.

00:29And Katie obviously takes her phone and goes, you know,

00:31we're in Colorado.

00:32I went, OK, yeah, no, I'd still like to come for a cuppa.

00:35And she was like, you, so I guess you want to stay the night?

00:38And I'm like, that'd be great.

00:41And she's like, OK.
