We're Going Back To Australia!!
We have some very exciting news.
Yes, this is the tea.
Do I just say it?
You have to say it.
Another day.
Oh, pardon.
Pardon, darling, pardon.
Another day.
There we go.
Guys, look, we potted our cacti.
How cute.
So cute.
There's one there.
We have another one upstairs.
Should we show them that one?
Trust me, it'll be two seconds.
This one, how cute.
Told you it was going to be two seconds.
And we're back.
What are those?
Last week, we got our eyes tested.
If you saw on Jess's blog.
And we both got new prescription.
Well, you had a prescription, I didn't.
I already have prescription glasses, but I could see, you know, as I age and I, you know,
get really old and just get real old.
I'm closer to 30 now.
So it's just my, I'm kind of, my body's falling apart is basically what's happening.
Long story short, we've both got glasses.
And unboxing.
I'm a first time prescription wearer.
Mine also went that bad either, but she was like, if you want, it might help you.
Might help you what?
It may help you.
We're unboxing our new glasses for the very first time.
All right, hold on, hold on, hold on.
One, two, three.
Oh, snazzy, dude.
Whoa.
Hold on, hold on.
That is so weird.
Okay.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Oh, you freaking.
This is so weird.
These are the new spectacles.
We're feeling pretty vibey with them.
You know what I mean?
I feel like photos of like anyone who wore glasses when, like back in the day.
You know what I mean?
These are like old school.
Milo, stop growling at the squirrels.
Come here.
They're just trying to live their life.
All right, guys, we're taking them off.
We need to get them adjusted and stuff.
We're taking them with us because we're running a few errands,
but we wanted to share something with you guys first.
What are you?
I'm going to try it first.
That's fine.
Okay.
So let's just cut.
Yes.
Do you want to tell you something?
Because you're looking at me like, we're off sync today.
I know.
Why are we so?
It's the glasses.
And here we are.
The moment you've all been waiting for.
Drive through drama.
And I know you may be wondering, why is Jess driving?
This is a different situation.
Jess, why are you driving?
It's vitamin grip or something.
What are you talking about?
There is really no reason.
Other than?
The reason.
We have some very exciting news.
Yes, this is the team.
Do I just say it?
You have to say it.
How many vlogs ago was this?
Three, I think.
That we applied for?
Gabe's exemption.
Yes.
Basically, the exemption was because we want to be able to travel back to Australia to
see Jess's family.
And I applied for an exemption.
And your boy Flippin got it.
He got it.
We can go to Australia.
Yes.
The best news in a long time.
I know.
Crazy.
Long story short, we are going to Australia.
We've booked flights, praying that they don't get canceled because that's also been a problem.
Technically, there were like flights available online.
But if you call the airline and you're like, hey, is this flight actually a thing?
They're like, oh no, those don't actually exist.
So there's like a lot of weird stuff where flights are canceled, but they're showing
up in some places.
We figured it out.
We have flights and we're going in a few weeks.
Yes, we are.
And then once we get there, we have to go through the quarantine to get into Australia.
Mandatory 14 day hotel quarantine.
Yes.
They don't give you a room key.
No fresh air, that sort of thing.
We're going to vlog the whole thing, but we need to get tested before we board the
plane.
And then we get tested twice in quarantine to make sure that we're all good.
We're not bringing it in.
We've just been so excited and so happy since we found out.
That's today's drive-thru drama.
It's not really dramatic, but.
Our life is just so dramatic.
Happy news we wanted to share.
And we know you guys have been loving drive-thru drama.
So something that we thought we would pair together and share together.
The rest of today, we actually need to go run errands and get stuff because we leave
to LA very soon because we are flying out of LA.
We can't fly from Florida to Australia.
We kind of got a layover.
Ew.
Oh.
Oh my gosh.
That's the Cuban, the knoll lizard thing that I was talking about.
Look at that.
Pretty sure that thing has like an insane bite.
Look at it's like nails.
Like look how long the fingers and.
Oh, I can't actually watch.
For some reason, lizards, I just like freak me out a little bit.
It's been a while, but someone commented recently saying that they missed when we played rock,
paper, scissors with you guys.
So I figured now's the time if you guys are new, basically what would happen is I would
play rock, paper, scissors with a camera and then you guys would comment and let us know
if you guys beat me or didn't beat me.
A lot of people film as they're doing it and like tag it on their stories so you can see
it and stuff.
It's going down.
Jenny, cue the intense music now.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?
Best two out of three.
Is it?
Oh, we're doing the American version where it goes rock, paper, scissor, and then shoot
on shoot.
You do scissors or paper, rock or whatever.
We're not doing the Australian.
Paper, scissors, rock.
Cause that's weird.
Anyway, back to the intense music.
Round one.
Ready?
Rock, paper, scissor, shoot.
Did I win that one?
Ready?
Round two.
Rock, paper, scissor, shoot.
Oh, paper again.
Maybe I already won.
Do you want to do round three for me?
Sure.
All right.
Ready guys?
Rock, paper, scissor, shoot.
Scissors.
Who won?
Let us know in the comments below.
Gabe is obsessed with that face.
Oh, it's so funny, dude.
I've been doing it forever and then now it's become a thing on TikTok.
I created it.
So I'm basically like super trendy.
So the rest of today, we need to go run errands.
We're going to get Gabe's glasses adjusted and then I think we're going to go to Target
because most of the stuff I need, we can get in Target.
Yeah.
And we haven't done a Target trip in a little bit.
I know we haven't.
We do need to spice up a vlog with a good Target trip.
We can throw a little spice in there.
You know what I mean?
I'm adjusted, yo.
I'm feeling kind of old school to be honest.
I think it suits you really well.
Does it?
Hold on.
Whoa.
What?
Whoa.
I thought we were sitting and chatting.
Oh.
We also did a little stop in just to get some like makeup, some skincare, just so we're like
ready to go.
We're going to go to Target now to get the rest of the supplies.
Get all the goodies and things.
We're in Target.
Target.
We're going to get a bunch of supplies.
Okay.
This is my attempt to scare Jess.
Let's see if it works.
I just saw there are a few aisles down.
Oh my goodness.
How do you feel?
Really good.
Really good?
Felt like the good old days?
Me just scaring you like crazy.
That I didn't enjoy, but getting all of the supplies and stuff is like really surreal.
So we're in the like board game section.
We're getting Uno for the hotel.
We're preparing to fight basically.
Start.
Are you sure you want to risk getting Uno for the hotel?
Because us two together, like playing against each other is not always the best.
Anyway, we're here standing in front of the board game section.
I was just standing here like, man, I just want my board game to be on this shelf.
It's been a long time since we talked about it on the vlog channel.
I know.
I feel like some people might not even know what you're talking about.
I'm making a board game with her dad.
It's been in the works for like a year and a half.
So good.
It just takes so long to make it.
I just want it like right there or there or something.
Next, like a tan would be nice, you know, just something casual.
Guys, I know you've been curious if it was dead or not, but...
It's not.
Chivalry's not.
It's not dead.
Successful target trip.
Am I right?
Good work, everyone.
Very happy, very proud of all parties involved, including you guys.
We're going to go to a couple more places.
When we get home, we can do a really cool quick haul.
I know you're all wondering what we're going to take into quarantine with us.
I'm really excited.
Not super excited for the no, like, fresh air part, but...
I know.
We understand why we have to do it.
Yeah.
Jess has been saying that she really wants like, you know, some hotel rooms have like
an extra living area.
So there's like a little extra space so we can separate sometimes.
So she doesn't have to be near me.
I'm introverted.
You're also introverted.
Yeah.
We need space sometimes.
If we just get one room, then I'm going to go in the bathroom for a little bit and hang
out.
I guess that's it.
Yeah.
I feel like you want to do the haul right now.
You're looking in the bag to like, pull something out and talk about it.
No, I'll wait.
I'll wait.
Can you please be quiet?
God, dude.
Oh my gosh.
I wish I had filmed his face.
I was so sad.
I'm so sorry.
I was genuinely upset.
I was like, I was at a prank back for me scaring you and yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Watch out.
Cute.
Oh, nice.
Okay.
Well, to start the whole off, got a new Ventolin for my asthma.
Asthma puffer.
They're usually blue.
I don't know if this is different, but that's cute.
My favorite perfume is the Ariana Grande cloud.
This is usually what I smell like.
Most of the time.
95% of the time.
We got some melatonin in case we have trouble falling to sleep on the trip with the time
zone changes and all that crazy stuff with jet lag and everything.
So this is a precautionary measure.
We also got some new toothbrush heads.
You got to get new toothbrush heads every once in a while.
My deodorant that I use, it's like aluminum free and stuff.
So it's, you know, better than the normal things with not good things in it.
Some period things.
Very nice.
We got the, you know, which we already talked about before may cause arguments, face masks,
some makeups and tinted moisturizer and some bronzer and then just some skincare, some
face wash and sunscreen.
We're pretty much fully prepared for the trip.
I mean, not really.
We haven't packed or anything.
We're prepared with like, we don't need to go buy anything.
The only thing we couldn't get today was the disposable cameras.
So I'm just going to order that online.
Maybe a few snacks.
They basically say that once you get there to have snacks ready that you brought with
you, because there may be a while.
You've already done like a 14 hour flight from LA to Australia.
And then there's quite some time getting into the hotel and to the quarantine setup and
everything like that before you actually get a meal.
They drop meals off at your door three times a day, but we'll get the snacks in LA.
I think we're, yeah.
And I think we're pretty well prepared to be in a room for two weeks without being able
to leave.
But we're really excited.
We are.
We're very excited.
So basically the next couple of videos are going to be this whole process.
We're going to Australia for a while.
Oh my gosh.
After over a year, nearly a year and a half.
So that's crazy.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next period of time of us going to Australia.
Love you guys.
Peace out.
From Jess.
And Gabriel.
Conti.
