"I had to share this with you," he said in between laughter, adding that: "I am in the middle of a freaking mess."
He explained: "I have packed for hurricanes, I have packed for tornadoes, I have packed for flooding, you name it, I have packed for it. But I haven't packed for anything like this."
Revealing that he is not sure how long he will even be on the show, though he hopes to make it far, he said: "I am in the office right now trying to figure out… What do you take to LA for maybe three weeks?
