He told stories about his time in Australia in his book. What a wild ride!

[@blokeVB]

Girls keep ringing the house asking for him

[@mikealmanza8396]

Loved the part where they ask how he could live with the Dooleys lol😂

[@xxxxjet1982xxxx]

How weird are the people he was staying with!

[@jena.alexia]

Yeah, that's odd. Not a cultural thing at all. Aussies feel exactly the same about their mums and dads. We only have one of each. Of course there's exceptions - step parents etc. But yeah, I don't want people to think Aussies are weirdos. 😬

[@wheresmyeyebrow1608]

His accent is actually pretty great haha

[@landspide]

Is he in a boat or motor home?

[@jena.alexia]

😂 I don't know why this made me laugh. Looks like a boat.

CASE STUDY IN EGOMANIACY.

[@Ykpaina988]

The Dooleys were pricks

[@jena.alexia]

Aussie accent not too bad. And for us, everything is so bloody far away that a 3 hour drive is not that far. He's lucky he ended up on the central coast, not Sydney. I know where I'd rather go. 😊
