What family is it in? It's-- I have no idea. I don't either. The Australian Marsupial family. It's a marsupial? Yeah. Like a kangaroo? Yeah, don't ask me what that means either. Well it has a pouch. It has a pouch. Right? I think so. I should know, shouldn't I? Yes, you should. But, I did, I did hold one. Yes, I know. There's a picture of you holding it. I thought, first of all, I thought that you weren't supposed to hold them and I thought that they had claws. Turns out if you're famous you get to do all the wrong things. Uh-huh. [LAUGHTER] It happens quite often. I'm like, should we be doing this? They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Take it! Click. Click. Click. But was it claw-y? Did it have claws? It was. I had big old scratches and I kept looking at my wife and I was like, is yours scratching you? She's like, no it's fine, it's fine. So you hand it to your daughter. Yes. [LAUGHTER] Yes. So I gave to my daughter. So koalas don't have pouches? They do have pouches. They do have pouches. Are they a marsupial? Right. Yes. Oh please, this isn't going to air in Australia is it? Yeah. [LAUGHTER] No, it'll never make it that far across the sea. No, they'll never see it over there. And then here, I want to show you. I don't need to show you, you've seen the video, I'll show you the video. Here you are surfing with your daughter. Look at that ominous clouds that you go, let's go out here, honey, this seems safe. And look at her on his back. That is impressive. Yeah. But wait a minute, why would you go out in that kind of storm that's about to-- Well it was a quick surf because that was approaching rapidly. Right, and so it's hard enough to surf, I mean I've never surfed, but I would think it's hard enough to surf without somebody clinging to your throat. Yeah, I mean, I occasionally get back problems and ever since I've started doing that they've gotten worse. Right. It's like 20 pounds of extra weight. But it's also, you're being choked out. It's like Brazilian jujitsu meets surfing. But was it your idea? Yeah. [LAUGHTER] I didn't think it would stick. And they're like, more, more, more! Yeah. And my daughter is like, I want to get a barrel now, Dad. And I'm like, nah, that's a little dangerous. But that's amazing. Are they too young to start surfing right now, right? No, they surf, yeah. I mean, they're very tiny little wives. Yeah. With a tiny little surfboard like that? Nah, with a big surfboard is very easy. Oh because the bigger the-- Yeah. Yeah. But they love it. I mean where we live, it's just perfect to do that, and we push them into tiny little waves. In the water babies from-- So she's five. She's six and the boys are four. The boys are four. OK and they speak, your wife speaks Spanish, so do they speak Spanish? Yeah, they're fluent in Spanish. That's amazing. Yeah. Do you speak Spanish? One sentence. [LAUGHTER] So you don't know what they're saying when they're all talking around the house. No, I don't. I sort of pretend to. Like my wife was telling them off and saying, you know, [GIBBERISH] [LAUGHTER] Which is what it sounds like to my ear. And I'll be there standing there like, that's right. What did you say? [LAUGHTER] What did you tell them? [GIBBERISH] [GIBBERISH] [LAUGHTER] But I would think that it would be easy to learn because your wife speaks Spanish and she would help you. You'd think. [LAUGHTER] But you don't. Yeah. All right. It's usually when I hear the Spanish directed at me, it's usually pretty unfortunate, you know, controversial, aggressive situations. So I'm just thinking of like, what is she saying right now and what's my comeback to this, you know-- we're fighting basically. Which is never. She fights in Spanish? If she gets angry enough. And she'll be like drop the facade, the English facade and it's like, [GIBBERISH] [LAUGHTER] That's not how Spanish sounds. It's not how it sounds. Not at all. All right, we have to take a break but I have to ask him about this. Should we ask it after the break, or now? Ask now. OK I'll ask now, Andy. So Matt Damon was here. You and Matt Damon are pals. Yeah. So he went with his family. They're hanging out with you. Yeah. You're saying that it's safe to go in the water. Wait. So at first, he came a while ago and was like, what about the snakes, and the sharks, and the spiders. And I'm like, it's fine, you're fine, there's nothing at all. You know, whatever. Anyway his daughter did-- he came on the show and told the story about how his daughter got a jellyfish sting, which was one of the worst I've ever seen. Yes. And I was like, what, that's a one off, that's a thing, you know, wow what a random thing. So he comes back over again, gives it a second shot, Australia. And we pull up to the cafe. He gets out of the car. Takes one step and just takes a six foot leap jump backwards. He goes, oh my god! Oh my god! Huge big snake and he stood straight on it. And he's like, you keep telling me that like they're more scared of you and da-da-da. Nothing. This-- the snake and the jellyfish. And I'm like, you know what, you're the problem. [LAUGHTER] Yeah. It's not Australia. It's him. He's the problem. So we've had to kick him out of Australia for our sake. [LAUGHTER] I see. He gives you a bad name. Yeah. That's horrible. How big was it? It was a pretty big one, big sleepy one. But sleepy. Right, right. I'm the tourism ambassador for Australia. All right. You don't even know what a marsupial is. I'm going to get a phone call saying, why you deterring people from coming with the dangerous animals. Yeah. Well you're keeping the population down that's good. That's right.
