hi hi melissa so good to see you tell everybody where you are
i am in australia so i'm in tomorrow you you are in tomorrow what what time tomorrow is it

horrific good unless unless andy keeps eating uh santa's balls and then it's yeah i'm gonna
be dicey i'm sorry it was not santa's balls it was yum nut not not santa's balls
i think i think we can't say that that's a difference
that's a different holiday treat sorry right it sure is maybe maybe those are served down under
oh it's it's like the joke that just keeps giving yes it is um hey so australia it's very very uh
shut down there quarantine is very strict there right it is a real thing like we uh we first of
all i was like they're never going to let us in and then it worked out because we came down here
to a shoot a show and we got off of the plane to an empty airport which is very surreal like
they're doing an incredible job here it's like full military no one else is really there it's
like one plane at a time we're in masks we're in these shields you have to give all your paperwork
and everything i had to fill out i'm supposed to be doing the kids paperwork in mine i just kept
i was like maybe it's panicked that i can't i was like i can't i can't see anything and
they're like you're having your id's out i'm like i'm so sorry i'm having trouble seeing
and i was like maybe it was the plane like it's such a long plane ride i was like
something's happened the pressure's got me i'm not a panicker uh but i could not see now we're
going all the way through people are asking questions they're doing our temperature checks
my i can't fill my paperwork out and i truly am like i guess this is when i go crazy this is it
and then then we're 20 minutes in to all of this stuff of me just like
and then somebody goes pardon me ma'am and then pulls off there was a protective frosted shield
over my face shield i didn't know who was supposed to come off so i literally was like i'm so i'm
apologizing to australia for my blindness and then somebody's like hey dig back yeah right
in the face cool well at least you're not going crazy and we know that now where are you in sydney
no we're in byron bay which is like a beautiful little uh about eight i think it's like eight
hours north of sydney yes that's supposed to be i've never been to iron bay it's supposed to be
beautiful but tell me what kinds of things because i know there are so many animals and insects and
uh reptiles that can kill you everything that can kill you lives there everything and every version
of everything it's like the flies are literally like this big and people's like one lands on you
somebody nicely will just smack like the bejesus out of you there's also water dragons that can
be like three and four feet long that nobody seems to mind nobody from here seems to mind
they're this long we were in a restaurant it was like an outdoor covered thing and just one comes
right at the table going under the table so i go back over the chair yelling i'm trying to
get out of there like it's a dragon coming at me and everyone there just looked at me like what's
this crazy lady doing i'm like does anyone they're like yeah it's a dragon yeah and my point my point
is it's a dragon right and nobody's fully minded that is crazy yeah no it's it i know i've i've
i've heard about all the the stuff that have you seen like the the kangaroos and koalas and stuff
wallabies we see i haven't seen kangaroos yet we're gonna try to go to like a place that
rescues them and rehabilitates them but i haven't seen them yet i am slightly terrified of the big
ones because like those big red ones that are like just yoked they look like they just work out all
day i'm a little afraid that i'm going to be the one that they're like like i don't like you but
i'm hoping that doesn't happen i also now here's something fun oh it's just my epipen i carry
cause scotty 92 of my body blew up in a way that i didn't know was possible uh and now i just
pretty cool i carry an epipen because nobody knows there like could could be anything so many things
my lip was out here my eye was like this and i was like scratching like a hound dog and they're like
could be one of a thousand things i'm like great
wow you didn't feel it bite you like were you sleeping or when did something get you
i it got me at during the night and i woke up and i was like i'm going to cook something
and my lip was about four times the size so i kept trying to say i think something's wrong
but it just came out like and then when he called me and he like turned the light on i was like
does something look different he was like oh god but i think and this isn't him
it's publicly known he's a hypochondriac i believe in all i see his first response was like get away
from me because what if it's contagious that's a loving husband it really is um there is nothing
worse though i mean obviously i haven't had that kind of thing but there's nothing worse than
waking up in the morning and being bit especially in your face and knowing something was crawling on
your face while you were sleeping at night that is the worst feeling when you go oh my god something
was actually on my face while i was sleeping what's what's going on at night and then here
it's like it could be you know it's like somebody else at work was like oh i woke up once with a
huntsman spider on my stomach and she goes it was almost the size of a dinner plate and i was like
okay wow awesome yeah i would sleep in a like a wetsuit there if i if i
um hey we have to take a break and uh we're going to talk about uh your new movie and
everything that uh everything you want to talk about anything you want we because we just
love listening to you i love you um we'll we'll take a break we'll be back i'll wait right here
