  And we're on the air.

• 0:08Ant McPartlin?

  Hello, everybody.

• 0:09Declan Donnelly?

  Welcome along to the hangout one more time for another episode of Hanging Out With Me And Him. It's our Monday episode. Last week.

• 0:17Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 0:18Declan Donnelly?

  We had KSI coming through the mystery door. That was fun, wasn't it?

• 0:21Ant McPartlin?

  It was really good fun.

• 0:21Declan Donnelly?

  Have you recovered?

• 0:22Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I've recovered. All good. And that's not the reason for not having a guest this week.

• 0:26Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, we're not having a guest this week.

• 0:28Ant McPartlin?

  In fact, we're not just not having a guest, it's not a mystery door Monday this week. The reason is, we have had so much correspondence from you guys.

• 0:36Declan Donnelly?

  But loads of letters.

• 0:37Ant McPartlin?

  Loads of letters.

• 0:37Declan Donnelly?

  Loads of emails.

• 0:38Ant McPartlin?

  Loads of voice notes.

• 0:39Declan Donnelly?

  Voice notes. And we're just not getting through enough of them in our podcast on the main pod on the Thursday show.

• 0:44Ant McPartlin?

  So we thought every now and again, we would dedicate one of these Monday episodes to you lot.

• 0:50Declan Donnelly?

  To catching up.

• 0:50Ant McPartlin?

  To catching up.

• 0:51Declan Donnelly?

  So today.

• 0:52Ant McPartlin?

  Are we gonna do letters?

• 0:53Declan Donnelly?

  No, we're gonna do voice notes. We're gonna do voice notes. We've got a lot of voice notes that are gonna come through the big yellow telephone, the banana phone.

• 1:00Ant McPartlin?

  The banana phone. I love it.

• 1:02Declan Donnelly?

  Now he's in. Now he's in. And we're gonna just go through some of your voice notes. Thank you for sending them all in. Please do. Keep them coming in. All of your emails, your letters, your voice notes, anything at all. Jingles for Dex's diary, movie ideas, anything at all. Keep them coming in. [email protected].

• 1:18Ant McPartlin?

  I do like a voice note. I know we joked last week on the show where we said about our manager leaving us voice notes.

• 1:23Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 1:24Ant McPartlin?

  And she just talks all the time. "Oh, hi, it's me. Oh, hi, I'm walking the dog. I've got a couple of questions for you."

• 1:29Declan Donnelly?

  She loved that we did that on the podcast last week.

• 1:31Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, yeah. We did really well.

• 1:32Declan Donnelly?

  She was thrilled. Absolutely thrilled we did that.

• 1:35Ant McPartlin?

  I like a voice note.

• 1:36Declan Donnelly?

  I don't.

• 1:37Ant McPartlin?

  You don't, do you?

• 1:37Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 1:38Ant McPartlin?

  I'm very pro voice notes, you're very anti them.

• 1:41Declan Donnelly?

  I like them in this arena.

• 1:42Ant McPartlin?

  In this banana phone.

• 1:44Declan Donnelly?

  In this banana phone. But what I hate them is when people are ringing you with important information. Because if I'm out and about and I get the thing, I've got to listen to it. And then if there's something you need to look back on, like a date or a time or a thing.

• 1:56Ant McPartlin?

  You've got to listen to it.

• 1:56Declan Donnelly?

  I've got to listen to the voice note again. Just have it there in text. Why do you love it so much?

• 2:00Ant McPartlin?

  It's just easy, isn't it?

• 2:02Declan Donnelly?

  I don't think it is.

• 2:03Ant McPartlin?

  Well, it's easier to send a voice note.

• 2:05Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 2:06Ant McPartlin?

  Much easier. It's much easier.

• 2:08Declan Donnelly?

  But you not get.

• 2:08Ant McPartlin?

  But like with my kids, it's easy to send a voice note. And then I'll get a voice note back. So I like a voice note.

• 2:13Declan Donnelly?

  No, I'm not against it.

• 2:14Ant McPartlin?

  I like your voice notes.

• 2:16Declan Donnelly?

  We love your voice notes. So please do keep them coming in.

• 2:18Ant McPartlin?

  I say, in anticipation.

• 2:19Declan Donnelly?

  We love hearing from you. We love hearing your little voices.

• 2:21Ant McPartlin?

  Shall we hear the first voice note then?

• 2:23Declan Donnelly?

  Shall we hear it?

• 2:23Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah?

• 2:26Speaker 02

  This is Jamie here.

• 2:28Ant McPartlin?

  Hi Jamie.

• 2:28Speaker 02

  What question do you use to get conversation started when people are being a bit boring?

• 2:36Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you, Jamie. What question do you use when people are boring?

• 2:40Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm. Mine's normally, how's your week been?

• 2:45Declan Donnelly?

  Use that at the start of every pod.

• 2:47Ant McPartlin?

  Very good. I think the easiest thing as a, as a bloke is to ask if people follow a football team. But then that you just get straight to it, don't you?

• 2:56Declan Donnelly?

  But what if they say no? That's always a thing you're gonna do.

• 2:59Ant McPartlin?

  Then they're boring, obviously.

• 3:01Declan Donnelly?

  Little part of you dies.

• 3:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, a little part of you does die.

• 3:04Declan Donnelly?

  And they go, no, I'm more of a rugger man myself.

• 3:06Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, see you later, I'm in the car.

• 3:11Declan Donnelly?

  You been watching the Six Nations?

• 3:13Ant McPartlin?

  No. Have you?

• 3:16Declan Donnelly?

  No, absolutely not.

• 3:17Ant McPartlin?

  I don't love small talk.

• 3:18Declan Donnelly?

  No, you don't.

• 3:19Ant McPartlin?

  I'm not good at it. You're very good at it. No, you are. There's an art form to it. And I'm not saying that. Give all the shit right today. I'm just saying, but, no, but you know what I mean? I'm not, I'm not.

• 3:31Declan Donnelly?

  You get frustrated with my small talk?

• 3:33Ant McPartlin?

  No, you just, it's not small talk, it's large talk with you.

• 3:36Declan Donnelly?

  What do you mean?

• 3:37Ant McPartlin?

  It goes on forever.

• 3:38Declan Donnelly?

  It doesn't.

• 3:39Ant McPartlin?

  It does. It does. Whenever people come up to us on the street after a selfie or whatever, I'm always, we always go, yeah, of course, you know, of course we'll always say yes to a selfie. We do a selfie, I go, thanks. They go, thanks. I go, no problem. Walk off. And I turn around, he's still chatting. Cause Dex done a follow up question, which is, what, have you had a busy day? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if they've had a busy day. They asked for a selfie, you facilitated the selfie, now it's time to move on.

• 4:06Declan Donnelly?

  I just wonder what their day's been like up until that point.

• 4:09Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, but why?

• 4:10Declan Donnelly?

  Just to see if they've been busy. What can be done.

• 4:13Ant McPartlin?

  You're busy getting involved in other people's lives, Mrs Mangle.

• 4:18Ant McPartlin?

  He will chat to anybody.

• 4:20Declan Donnelly?

  I love it.

• 4:21Ant McPartlin?

  Honestly, anybody. Dec doing small talk at a party is like, it's, it's his everything. He could small talk all night until the early hours, couldn't he?

• 4:33Declan Donnelly?

  Into the wee small hours.

• 4:35Ant McPartlin?

  The wee bad guys, small talk into the wee hours.

• 4:39Declan Donnelly?

  I think, I think it is just that, like, what have you been up to this week? Has, have you had a busy week? What have you been doing?

• 4:45Ant McPartlin?

  You ask the standard stuff, like, what do you drive?

• 4:49Declan Donnelly?

  No, not bothered. Hmm.

• 4:53Ant McPartlin?

  Work? Does work come in there?

• 4:54Declan Donnelly?

  Could do, but yeah, if, if they go, I've been really busy at work, what is it you do?

• 4:58Ant McPartlin?

  Has anybody ever snubbed you and walked off?

• 5:01Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I've been shut down a few times.

• 5:02Ant McPartlin?

  Have you?

• 5:03Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, yeah, like, anyway, I've got to go.

• 5:04Ant McPartlin?

  I'd love to have been there.

• 5:06Declan Donnelly?

  I wasn't trying that.

• 5:07Ant McPartlin?

  I'd love to have been there when you were shut down.

• 5:10Declan Donnelly?

  I've had that before.

• 5:11Ant McPartlin?

  If you've ever shut down, Declan, please get in touch and let me know how you did it, when you did it, because I will happily read that letter out.

• 5:17Declan Donnelly?

  I've had a few people that, um, have got their selfie and like, yeah, no, I've had a busy week, mate, I'm all right.

• 5:23Ant McPartlin?

  Had a busy week, yeah, too busy chatting to you.

• 5:26Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, can I have your name again?

• 5:28Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, God. Uh, here's the next voice note.

• 5:32Speaker 03

  Hi, Anton Deck. My name's Evelyn.

• 5:34Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, Evelyn.

• 5:35Speaker 03

  And I want to go to the moon. What planet would you like to go? And bye.

• 5:41Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, Evelyn.

• 5:43Ant McPartlin?

  You're gorgeous, aren't you?

• 5:45Declan Donnelly?

  We love you.

• 5:45Ant McPartlin?

  Cute.

• 5:46Declan Donnelly?

  Have you had an Anton Deck birthday cake? Probably.

• 5:50Ant McPartlin?

  I'm a celebrity birthday cake.

• 5:51Declan Donnelly?

  Evelyn, what a great question.

• 5:52Ant McPartlin?

  Very good question.

• 5:53Declan Donnelly?

  She wants to go to the moon.

• 5:55Ant McPartlin?

  I'd like to go to the moon.

• 5:56Declan Donnelly?

  I'd like, I'd love to go to the moon. Did they land on the moon in 1969, do you think? I mean, just to, just to delve into some conspiracy theories here. Did they fake the moon landing or was the moon landing real?

• 6:06Ant McPartlin?

  She just wants to know which planet. She's just a kid. She's just a kid. She's not.

• 6:10Declan Donnelly?

  She doesn't want to get into the conspiracy theories, the moon landing.

• 6:14Ant McPartlin?

  She just wants to get into this rabbit hole.

• 6:16Declan Donnelly?

  Quite interesting, isn't it?

• 6:17Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, well, okay, we'll get, answer our question first. The moon, the moon is the only one that we could possibly live on, and Mars.

• 6:23Declan Donnelly?

  Mars.

• 6:23Ant McPartlin?

  But you've still got to wear helmets and whatnot.

• 6:25Declan Donnelly?

  Elon Musk has his way, we're all going to Mars.

• 6:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we are all going to Mars. Well, we can't, we can't go any further than that. Like, we, it's not possible. We can't, you can't bend the laws of physics to get there.

• 6:38Declan Donnelly?

  Can you not?

• 6:38Ant McPartlin?

  Well, you can't go faster than light.

• 6:40Declan Donnelly?

  To get to Pluto? Jupiter.

• 6:43Ant McPartlin?

  We wouldn't live long enough to get there. Unless we could freeze ourselves.

• 6:46Declan Donnelly?

  Wants to know which planet.

• 6:47Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. I am quite obsessed with.

• 6:51Declan Donnelly?

  The moon, the figery.

• 6:53Ant McPartlin?

  Not the figery with anything to do with space. I just love it.

• 6:58Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 6:59Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, do you remember there was that thing that was hurtling through the universe not so long ago? And everyone said that it's not a comet, it's an alien spaceship. It's the mothership and once it goes around the sun. Do you see all these things?

• 7:10Declan Donnelly?

  No, I missed that. Was this on TikTok?

• 7:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 7:12Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 7:13Ant McPartlin?

  Once it goes.

• 7:14Declan Donnelly?

  I'm watching a lot of TikTok at the minute.

• 7:16Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, once it goes around the sun, it comes back, that's it. And we'll all be invaded by aliens.

• 7:19Declan Donnelly?

  I didn't see this on the news. It wasn't on the 10 o'clock headline before I was saying goodnight.

• 7:22Ant McPartlin?

  Certain things on the, it did make the news, not the alien bit, but the fact that it was a comet. And that it, but it wasn't behaving like a comet. So it looked like it was accelerating and it looked like instead of a tail at the back, which you normally get with any kind of gas coming off the back of it. Um, the, the tail was at the front, which was weird. It was all a bit odd and they couldn't explain it.

• 7:46Declan Donnelly?

  Wasn't there something about an asteroid coming to Earth and they had to blast it or something and knock it off course? Is that a thing or is that a movie?

• 7:56Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, that's, that's all they get in the movie with Bruce Willis. What the hell?

• 8:00Declan Donnelly?

  No, but was it something on the news?

• 8:02Ant McPartlin?

  I was watching something at Christmas and that was all they get in the movie.

• 8:05Declan Donnelly?

  No, there was something on the news about knocking something off course.

• 8:10Ant McPartlin?

  The mad thing is, which we never really, uh, think about as much as we should.

• 8:16Declan Donnelly?

  Go on.

• 8:17Ant McPartlin?

  We will get hit by an asteroid.

• 8:19Declan Donnelly?

  Like the dinosaurs, was it a comet or asteroid or was it the aliens?

• 8:23Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 8:24Declan Donnelly?

  Just chopping the dinosaurs.

• 8:25Ant McPartlin?

  Shut up.

• 8:25Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 8:26Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean the aliens, why would the aliens destroy the dinosaurs?

• 8:29Declan Donnelly?

  By mistake.

• 8:33Ant McPartlin?

  By mistake.

• 8:35Declan Donnelly?

  They didn't by mistake.

• 8:36Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, shut up. Right, thanks Evelyn, thanks to you, my snow.

• 8:39Declan Donnelly?

  Hope that answers your question, Evelyn.

• 8:44Ant McPartlin?

  So now, do you think they faked the moon?

• 8:49Declan Donnelly?

  It's quite interesting rabbit hole, isn't it?

• 8:57Ant McPartlin?

  It really is, yeah. It really is.

• 9:00Declan Donnelly?

  Because didn't Kubrick say it was faked and he directed it?

• 9:03Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, he's left clues throughout his, the end of his career, that this was the case. There's also a very good hollow moon theory, that the moon is hollow.

• 9:15Declan Donnelly?

  Right. What's inside it?

• 9:17Ant McPartlin?

  It's hollow, it's hollow. There's nothing inside it. Do you know what hollow means?

• 9:24Declan Donnelly?

  I thought it was hollow and that it was hollow for a reason, there was something in it.

• 9:29Ant McPartlin?

  Anyway, I, I, I'm not here to, to lead you down that rabbit hole, but Google hollow, the hollow moon theory in the car on the way home. If, if you're driving, don't Google anything, but tonight and then report back to me.

• 9:45Declan Donnelly?

  The hollow moon theory?

• 9:46Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 9:47Declan Donnelly?

  I love conspiracy theories. Do you like them?

• 9:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I love them.

• 9:50Declan Donnelly?

  I'm interested in them. I don't, I don't necessarily believe them, but I'm quite intrigued as to people's conspiracy theories.

• 9:55Ant McPartlin?

  What is a conspiracy theory you hope is true?

• 9:59Declan Donnelly?

  Can't think of one.

• 9:59Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, next time on our conspiracy theory special.

• 10:04Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks for your question, Evelyn. I hope that answered it. It's the moon and Mars, I think.

• 10:09Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, the moon and Mars.

• 10:11Declan Donnelly?

  Have another question.

• 10:13Speaker 04

  Hey, I'm Dec. My name's Becky and I wanted to see if you could rate my talent. My friends say that I'm good at it, but I have a feeling it might be a lie. So here is my impression of a trumpet.

• 10:36Declan Donnelly?

  It's definitely a lie.

• 10:38Ant McPartlin?

  It's not, but it was a bit poor to start with.

• 10:42Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, but actually, yeah.

• 10:43Ant McPartlin?

  Then when the kind of vibratory bits came in at the end and all went a little bit kind of prohibition America.

• 10:50Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 10:51Ant McPartlin?

  I like that.

• 10:55Declan Donnelly?

  Like Mini the Mucha.

• 10:56Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 11:03Ant McPartlin?

  Or how's our trumpets? Can you do trumpets? That's really, really good.

• 11:07Declan Donnelly?

  Really good.

• 11:08Ant McPartlin?

  Fiona?

• 11:11Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, there was a little, there was a little tickle on the end there.

• 11:15Ant McPartlin?

  And you can't see Fiona, but it just comes out one side of her mouth. The left hand side. Try the right hand side.

• 11:22Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, it's more of a clarinet.

• 11:25Ant McPartlin?

  Lola? No, that's a phone ringing. Do your trumpet, do your trumpet.

• 11:33Ant McPartlin?

  No, that's you just going, do your trumpet.

• 11:37Declan Donnelly?

  No, it's happy as a bird.

• 11:39Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, you can't do it. Jamanga?

• 11:43Ant McPartlin?

  That's a bird. There's a bird in the studio.

• 11:48Declan Donnelly?

  Well, actually, judging by everybody else's attempts, yours is pretty good.

• 11:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, Becky, you were exceptional.

• 11:54Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, very good. See you on BGT next year. Well done.

• 11:58Ant McPartlin?

  Fiona, one more time.

• 12:05Declan Donnelly?

  Let's have another voice note.

• 12:09Speaker 05

  Try, Ant and Dec, this is Helen from Stockport.

• 12:12Ant McPartlin?

  Hello, Helen.

• 12:13Speaker 05

  My question to you is, if you had to do a Bush Tucker trial, which one would you do and which one wouldn't you do?

• 12:22Declan Donnelly?

  Well, my list of wouldn't is quite long, so.

• 12:26Ant McPartlin?

  Most of them.

• 12:27Declan Donnelly?

  Most of them.

• 12:28Ant McPartlin?

  We've already done a Bush Tucker trial, so we did it for the 20th series of I'm a Celebrity. And we got surprised by Joel Dommett. If you haven't seen it, it's on YouTube. It's horrific.

• 12:39Declan Donnelly?

  Horrendous.

• 12:40Ant McPartlin?

  We had to do the eating trial. And I'm trying to think what we had. I definitely had a fish eye, which is horrible because it does pop in your mouth.

• 12:49Declan Donnelly?

  Did you eat a witchy grub?

• 12:50Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I think I did eat a witchy grub as well. Witchy grub, fish eye. And I must have had a drink. You had blended cockroaches, didn't you?

• 12:56Declan Donnelly?

  A drink, yeah.

• 12:57Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you're laughing at? He had blended cockroaches and then he spewed in the glass and had to drink it down.

• 13:03Declan Donnelly?

  I did. I couldn't do it. I could not do it. That was horrific.

• 13:05Ant McPartlin?

  He did, he went, and then that.

• 13:09Ant McPartlin?

  And then I'm gonna try and drink it.

• 13:11Declan Donnelly?

  No, I couldn't do it.

• 13:11Ant McPartlin?

  He couldn't do it.

• 13:12Declan Donnelly?

  It was awful.

• 13:13Ant McPartlin?

  It was a no.

• 13:13Declan Donnelly?

  It was alright, it was going well, it was going really well. I started drinking it and it was going down. I thought, oh, this is easy. It's just a bit like, a bit of kind of muddy water. And I was drinking and then all the water disappeared and then there was this sludge at the bottom of the glass.

• 13:26Ant McPartlin?

  A surge of sludge.

• 13:27Declan Donnelly?

  And I just fell into my mouth.

• 13:30Declan Donnelly?

  And I just went, I couldn't hold it in. I went.

• 13:34Declan Donnelly?

  And I threw up.

• 13:35Ant McPartlin?

  That's what it looked like. It's like you're trying to play the trumpet.

• 13:40Declan Donnelly?

  Threw up into the glass. It's on YouTube, it must be on YouTube, on the I'm a Celebrity.

• 13:45Ant McPartlin?

  We've done that, we've done, um.

• 13:47Declan Donnelly?

  I ate the, I ate the, um, egg, the.

• 13:49Ant McPartlin?

  Oh god, yeah, you did.

• 13:51Declan Donnelly?

  Rotten egg.

• 13:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you did.

• 13:53Declan Donnelly?

  It was alright, actually, that wasn't too bad.

• 13:54Ant McPartlin?

  Was it?

• 13:54Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I love an egg, mate, don't I?

• 13:55Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you do love an egg. They're not stink of like, stink bombs.

• 13:59Declan Donnelly?

  It stuck around as well.

• 14:00Ant McPartlin?

  Plaguing, plaguing.

• 14:01Declan Donnelly?

  Or, but then like, for the rest of the day.

• 14:04Ant McPartlin?

  Oh god, yes.

• 14:06Declan Donnelly?

  It was.

• 14:06Ant McPartlin?

  Imagine, see, I can't stand eggs at the best of times, unless they're in a scotch egg, you know, I'll eat the whites. Imagine that.

• 14:12Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, fermented egg was, was rough.

• 14:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. And we've also done Cyclone.

• 14:16Declan Donnelly?

  We did Cyclone, that was fun though.

• 14:18Ant McPartlin?

  That was good fun. Didn't you do your shoulder?

• 14:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I fell on my shoulder. Never been right since.

• 14:23Ant McPartlin?

  Still?

• 14:24Declan Donnelly?

  Where there's blame, there's a claim.

• 14:25Ant McPartlin?

  Have you seen ITV?

• 14:26Declan Donnelly?

  Not yet, not yet, I will, one day.

• 14:28Ant McPartlin?

  I'd probably do most of them.

• 14:29Declan Donnelly?

  You're out with the heightsy ones.

• 14:30Ant McPartlin?

  I'm out with the heights ones, I'm all, mm, being buried in the ground.

• 14:34Declan Donnelly?

  Not sure about that one?

• 14:35Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I'll try that one.

• 14:36Declan Donnelly?

  Rats?

• 14:37Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 14:37Declan Donnelly?

  Covered in rats?

• 14:38Ant McPartlin?

  Yep.

• 14:38Declan Donnelly?

  Covered in snakes?

• 14:39Ant McPartlin?

  Yep.

• 14:39Declan Donnelly?

  Covered in spiders?

• 14:40Ant McPartlin?

  Mmm, spiders. I don't love spiders.

• 14:43Declan Donnelly?

  May have found his Achilles heel.

• 14:44Ant McPartlin?

  I wouldn't like the head, you know, the helmet.

• 14:47Declan Donnelly?

  Didn't we all do that?

• 14:48Ant McPartlin?

  Did we do that?

• 14:48Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 14:49Ant McPartlin?

  Well, then I'm fine with it. I'd forgotten we'd done that.

• 14:52Declan Donnelly?

  I think we did the head boxes and we had to put our hands in something.

• 14:54Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 14:54Declan Donnelly?

  I'm sure we did that as well.

• 14:56Ant McPartlin?

  Anything that you, so you wouldn't do anything else?

• 14:58Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not mad on heights, but I, I would do it. Since we did the stuff on Saturday Night Takeaway, I would do it. I wouldn't really wanna be buried underground with the rats and stuff.

• 15:05Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 15:06Declan Donnelly?

  Well, the, the worst one for me would be the eating.

• 15:08Ant McPartlin?

  Right, which we, and we've done it.

• 15:10Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, but there's some of this stuff though. I didn't do a testicle or a penis.

• 15:14Ant McPartlin?

  We've got some good ones.

• 15:15Declan Donnelly?

  I don't intend to anytime soon.

• 15:18Ant McPartlin?

  We've got some good ones coming up for I'm a Celebrity South Africa.

• 15:21Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my goodness, there are some great trials in South Africa.

• 15:24Ant McPartlin?

  Epic, epic trials coming up.

• 15:25Declan Donnelly?

  Even the celebrities are in there going, wow, you guys have really upped the ante this year. They said this is so much harder.

• 15:32Ant McPartlin?

  And the Jackie.

• 15:36Speaker 06

  Up the Andy and the Dicky. You're like, you're like, you're like, just stupid.

• 15:42Declan Donnelly?

  Just said stupid.

• 15:48Declan Donnelly?

  But yeah, even the celeb said it's much harder in South Africa. Some great, great trials coming up.

• 15:54Speaker 06

  Can I get to the phone? Sorry, I'm just gonna take this. Terrible small talk. Right, this is our last one.

• 15:59Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, come on. I'm having such fun already.

• 16:02Speaker 06

  Here it is. Hello.

• 16:03Declan Donnelly?

  Hello.

• 16:04Speaker 06

  Sam Thompson here.

• 16:05Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 16:05Speaker 06

  A complete honour to be sending in a voicemail.

• 16:08Declan Donnelly?

  Sam.

• 16:09Speaker 06

  My question, I don't know why I'm panicking. Oh my God, I don't know why. But my question to you lads is, um, I know you lived together for a lot of your early years. Um, what was the best place that you lived together with the most memories from years ago? What was your favourite place that you both lived together? And do you have any stories from that time? But yeah, that's, that's my question. I hope it's a good question. I was thinking it all last night. Uh, that's my question. Uh, they also, um, they say never meet your heroes, but I'm very glad I did. Cause you guys are just the nicest, most loveliest lads in the world. And if this is going on the pod, to everyone listening, when I was in Australia on my own, um, the, the lads used to invite me out for a beer and some food.

• 16:52Declan Donnelly?

  We did.

• 16:52Speaker 06

  Just cause they're such nice people and made me feel very welcome. And they're absolute legends and I love you both so much. And I'm gonna stop rambling now because I'm panicking.

• 17:02Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, thank you, Sam.

• 17:03Speaker 06

  He's such a nice kid. Very nice guy.

• 17:05Declan Donnelly?

  He's lovely.

• 17:05Speaker 06

  Isn't he?

• 17:06Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 17:06Speaker 06

  And I'm not just saying that because he was very nice about us, but he is, he's a genuinely lovely man.

• 17:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, he is. He's a good soul. He's a good egg. And funnily enough, the place we had the most fun where we lived together, very apt coming from Sam, was in Chelsea.

• 17:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, it was.

• 17:21Declan Donnelly?

  When we shared a flat in Chelsea.

• 17:23Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 17:23Declan Donnelly?

  On the river.

• 17:24Speaker 06

  Yeah, it was lovely, wasn't it?

• 17:25Declan Donnelly?

  Really nice flat. Wasn't so nice after two years and we moved out. But we had an amazing time there. Lived there for ages. We're down the King's Road, hanging out down there.

• 17:35Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 17:36Declan Donnelly?

  Um had brilliant times. Do you remember when we did come to move out and they come and did the inventory of that flat?

• 17:43Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 17:44Declan Donnelly?

  And.

• 17:45Ant McPartlin?

  And they kind of check how many glasses that.

• 17:47Declan Donnelly?

  You broke.

• 17:48Ant McPartlin?

  You broke and said, oh, you start with twenty, you've got sixteen, right, yours for four glasses, do the cutlery and then they went around the kitchen.

• 17:54Declan Donnelly?

  And there was always a cupboard we could never get open in the, in the kitchen. So we thought it was like whoever owned the flat that we were renting, we thought it was a cupboard they'd locked shut and we just weren't allowed in it. And the, um, the stage and he came around and had the clipboard and opened up the cupboard like this.

• 18:09Declan Donnelly?

  Opened it like there was this little catch in there, just opened it straight away and they went, dishwasher's in working order. We're like, oh my God, it's a dishwasher.

• 18:17Ant McPartlin?

  I swear to God.

• 18:18Declan Donnelly?

  We had a dishwasher.

• 18:19Ant McPartlin?

  Two years we lived there, we didn't realise it was a dishwasher.

• 18:22Declan Donnelly?

  We just couldn't open it. We had no idea how to get the thing open.

• 18:24Ant McPartlin?

  We must have tried once each and that was it.

• 18:27Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, we had a dishwasher, never used it.

• 18:29Ant McPartlin?

  Got to a point where, so we'd both lived at home for a long time and then moved to London and when people came around, we're like, oh, sorry about the pile of coats on the floor. And they're like, why did you leave coats on the floor? And the, the answer was, because we can. That's just really, I like, how bad is that?

• 18:46Declan Donnelly?

  Because. We had a proper coat stand with the, the hooks on it.

• 18:49Ant McPartlin?

  And no one told, but no one said, you've got to hang that up. So we didn't. This was, we just made a pile of them.

• 18:54Declan Donnelly?

  It was terrible, really. What a state.

• 18:56Ant McPartlin?

  No, I don't know how bomber jacket is. Yeah, I think it's under my, my jacket. Okay, fine.

• 19:01Declan Donnelly?

  It was fun times though.

• 19:02Ant McPartlin?

  It was really good, really good. It was the nineties, Brit pop was really, um, big at the time. Uh, we used to go to gigs, we used to work a lot, but then we used to go down, watch the football on the King's Road, didn't we?

• 19:13Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 19:14Ant McPartlin?

  Go and buy clothes down there and loads of pubs. We used to go, there's one pub we used to go to and we got so pally with the guy who ran the chicken shop next door.

• 19:23Declan Donnelly?

  Chicken shop Pete.

• 19:24Ant McPartlin?

  Chicken shop Pete, that we would have drinks with chicken shop Pete.

• 19:27Declan Donnelly?

  Have a bit of a lock in.

• 19:28Ant McPartlin?

  We'd always include chicken shop Pete in our last couple of rounds because we knew we were getting hungry and he would then take us to the chicken shop and give us chicken.

• 19:38Declan Donnelly?

  Sometimes we'd have a lock in at the pub, have another couple of pints and chicken shop Pete would nip next door and come back with loads of pies. They were great nights, those ones.

• 19:45Ant McPartlin?

  Really good night.

• 19:45Speaker 07

  What was your weekly shop night?

• 19:48Ant McPartlin?

  We didn't, we didn't shop. There was a Sainsbury's, I think, at the end of the road and we would get beers and crisps and stuff. We'd do takeaways most nights.

• 19:56Declan Donnelly?

  Monday was Chinese, Tuesday was Indians, Wednesday was pizzas, Thursday was Thai, then Friday we'd go back to Chinese.

• 20:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we used to just rotate them.

• 20:04Declan Donnelly?

  It was terrible. We poured out our two stone.

• 20:06Ant McPartlin?

  Was it Tuesday that was our favourite night?

• 20:08Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 20:09Ant McPartlin?

  That was Chinese, then The X-Files was on.

• 20:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 20:12Ant McPartlin?

  That was our favourite night of the week.

• 20:13Declan Donnelly?

  That was brilliant. Good times. Good times.

• 20:16Ant McPartlin?

  I enjoyed that.

• 20:17Declan Donnelly?

  That was fun.

• 20:18Ant McPartlin?

  As a Monday session.

• 20:19Declan Donnelly?

  That's not bad, that. We got through.

• 20:20Ant McPartlin?

  We should do that again.

• 20:21Declan Donnelly?

  We got through quite a lot of your messages that we don't normally get to go through in the main pod, so thank you for that.

• 20:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, thank you.

• 20:27Declan Donnelly?

  Keep all of your letters, emails, voice notes, jingles, anything at all, keep them coming to us, [email protected] and we'll get through as many as we possibly can.

• 20:38Ant McPartlin?

  And make sure you subscribe to the Bell to Box as well because you get to see extra bits.

• 20:41Declan Donnelly?

  And give us a follow on whichever platform you are listening to the podcast on. That's it for this week. We're back on Thursday with another pod, another hanging out.

• 20:51Ant McPartlin?

  More diary chat, more nonsense.

• 20:53Declan Donnelly?

  Good one next week. Until then though, see you next time and

• 20:57Ant McPartlin?

  Respect guys.

• 20:58Declan Donnelly?

  See you next time.

• 20:58Ant McPartlin?

  Bye.

• 21:18Speaker 06

  Fall never arrives all at once. First the air, then the light, and slowly the things you love begin to find each other. A jacket meets a dress, a hoodie slips beneath a blazer, an old cap finds a new scarf. Because you don't simply step into the season, you create it layer by layer, until it finally feels like fall. Find fall your way at Ross.

• 22:14Speaker 02

  For everyone.

• 22:17Speaker 04

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 22:18Speaker 02

  King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Swirl Bite?

• 22:20Speaker 04

  Uh, Taylor Hanson? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.

• 22:26Speaker 04

  Hey, let's get back to work, please. But Taylor Hanson's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites. Taylor Hanson? Nice.

• 22:34Speaker 02

  Try one.

• 22:35Speaker 04

  Mmm.

• 22:39Speaker 04

  King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites. There's nothing like it.
