1:56 Declan Donnelly? Must be voice notes. How have you been, you been all right?
1:59 Ant McPartlin? Cool, man.
1:59 Declan Donnelly? Before we get into it?
2:00 Ant McPartlin? I'm cool. How are you?
2:01 Declan Donnelly? I'm good. I had a little bit of a fright the other day. Well, I gave somebody a fright.
2:04 Ant McPartlin? Did you? Took your clothes off.
2:07 Declan Donnelly? Actually, you're not far off.
2:09 Ant McPartlin? Really?
2:09 Declan Donnelly? Mm-hmm. I was in the changing rooms. I was out shopping for a couple of little summer t-shirts.
2:17 Ant McPartlin? That makes me think that it's like a crop top.
2:20 Declan Donnelly? Why would you think that? That's your mind.
2:23 Ant McPartlin? A couple of little summer t-shirts and this little bit.
2:28 Declan Donnelly? I was in Marks and Spencer's. This is not a sponsored bit, but Marks and Spencer's are absolutely killing it at the moment.
2:34 Ant McPartlin? Oh, they are.
2:35 Declan Donnelly? On menswear. Aren't they killing it?
2:37 Speaker 04 They've got the old buyer from Topshop.
2:39 Declan Donnelly? Is that what it is?
2:40 Ant McPartlin? Is that what it is?
2:40 Speaker 04 Yeah, they're very cool now.
2:42 Declan Donnelly? The Marks and Spencer's fashions are spot on this summer.
2:46 Ant McPartlin? Okay, now it does sound like an ad.
2:48 Declan Donnelly? Well, anyway.
2:48 Ant McPartlin? So I should be getting free stuff.
2:50 Declan Donnelly? Basically, I was in Marks the other day. I was in the changing room trying them on. And I heard the guy in the next cubicle, and he was kind of grunting. And he was telling himself, he was like, 36 long. And then he's like.
3:04 Ant McPartlin? Definitely wasn't you, 36 long.
3:06 Declan Donnelly? It wasn't me. And then he got another one, and he went, 36 regular.
3:13 Declan Donnelly? And so anyway, I'd finished trying on my little crop tops.
3:16 Ant McPartlin? That's all, yeah.
3:17 Declan Donnelly? I was out, and you know, when you put some stuff back on the rail that you're not going to buy. So I was putting stuff on the rail anyway. Curtain goes from behind me. Excuse me, mate, can I have these in a 38 long? I turned around, he went, oh my god. Sorry, I thought you worked here. Oh, no, I don't work here. He went, I know you don't work here.
3:39 Declan Donnelly? Well, yeah, he got a bit of a fright.
3:41 Ant McPartlin? But you were fully clothed at that point?
3:43 Declan Donnelly? I was fully clothed. I was fully clothed. So I left the crop tops that I wasn't buying, and I took the crop tops that I did buy. But yeah, so I gave him a little fright.
3:50 Ant McPartlin? What did you try your t-shirts on with?
3:53 Declan Donnelly? What do you mean?
3:54 Ant McPartlin? What did you have on your bottom half?
3:56 Declan Donnelly? Oh, what did I have on my bottom? Shorts.
3:58 Ant McPartlin? Crop top and shorts? Wow.
4:01 Declan Donnelly? And you know I don't traditionally wear shorts, do I?
4:03 Ant McPartlin? You don't?
4:03 Declan Donnelly? Not on the telly, anyway.
4:04 Ant McPartlin? Never got his legs out on telly, ever?
4:07 Declan Donnelly? I have. I have. This is a myth. Um, yeah, a little pair of shorts.
4:12 Ant McPartlin? Well, I can't.
4:13 Declan Donnelly? Not that they were little. The shorts weren't little.
4:18 Ant McPartlin? Surely shorts a lot on you.
4:21 Declan Donnelly? Not like normal trousers.
4:23 Ant McPartlin? I can't join in.
4:25 Declan Donnelly? Why?
4:25 Ant McPartlin? Because I've been shopping for so long.
4:27 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
4:27 Ant McPartlin? I'm so bored right now. This is so hard, guys.
4:32 Declan Donnelly? What are you got?
4:32 Ant McPartlin? It's so bloody hard.
4:35 Declan Donnelly? So when you go on your summer holidays, are you just wearing like last season's summer clothes?
4:39 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, but who cares about that? Do you know what I mean though?
4:43 Ant McPartlin? No, who cares? Like, it's a short sleeve shirt or shorts.
4:47 Declan Donnelly? Isn't there something lovely about going on holiday and going, oh, I can't wait to wear that new thing?
4:52 Ant McPartlin? Crisps?
4:53 Declan Donnelly? Can't wait to wear these crisps.
4:57 Ant McPartlin? Well, no, we're very lucky because we do, I'm a Celebrity in the Sunshine, and we did I'm a Celebrity South Africa in the Sunshine. So all of the short sleeve shirts that we had on that, we get given at the end of it. So it always feels like I've been shopping anywhere.
5:13 Declan Donnelly? That's true.
5:14 Ant McPartlin? So I don't need extra.
5:15 Declan Donnelly? That's true.
5:15 Ant McPartlin? You see?
5:16 Declan Donnelly? Short sleeve shirts. It's a good tongue twister, isn't it?
5:19 Ant McPartlin? That's a good tongue twister, yeah.
5:19 Declan Donnelly? Anybody got any good tongue twisters?
5:22 Ant McPartlin? I've actually got loads. Ah, yeah.
5:24 Declan Donnelly? Do the space one.
5:25 Ant McPartlin? There's a chip shop in space that sells spaceship shaped chips.
5:27 Declan Donnelly? There's a chip shop in space that sells chip shop chips.
5:30 Ant McPartlin? There's just, there's just.
5:32 Declan Donnelly? There's a chip shop.
5:32 Ant McPartlin? I can't do it with him doing it.
5:34 Declan Donnelly? There's a chip shop in space that sells space raiders. Space what? Space ship shaped.
5:41 Ant McPartlin? Space ship chip chips.
5:42 Declan Donnelly? Right, do it together.
5:43 Ant McPartlin? There's a chip shop. I've got to, I've got to begin a bit wrong now.
5:48 Declan Donnelly? There's a chip shop in space that sells spaceship chips.
5:52 Ant McPartlin? Hello, who's on the phone?
5:54 Declan Donnelly? She does some voicemails.
5:55 Ant McPartlin? Come on, let's get on with it.
5:56 Declan Donnelly? Let's get some voice notes.
5:57 Ant McPartlin? I look forward to this episode a lot because A, I like hearing your voice, and B, I like hearing your questions.
6:06 Declan Donnelly? Who's on line one?
6:06 Speaker 05 Hi, this is Jonathan from Coventry. And what I'd like to know is if you ever learnt to ride bikes as kids? And if you did, do you still ride them now?
6:16 Declan Donnelly? Hi, Jonathan. Thanks for.
6:18 Ant McPartlin? You sound like a very well educated man if you're listening to this podcast.
6:22 Declan Donnelly? Interesting. I like it.
6:25 Ant McPartlin? Sounds like you've got a twisty moustache, and I bet he rides a bike.
6:29 Declan Donnelly? A penny farthing.
6:30 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, a penny farthing, yeah. Or one of those fixed gear bikes that are really hard to ride.
6:35 Declan Donnelly? What are they?
6:35 Ant McPartlin? All the trendy people ride them, like Shoreditch in London.
6:38 Declan Donnelly? Oh, do they?
6:39 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. It's like fixed, there's no gears, so everything's just, it's a bit like Keep Bikes as Kids.
6:44 Declan Donnelly? Oh, okay. Um, yes, we did learn to ride bikes as kids.
6:49 Ant McPartlin? Yes, we did.
6:50 Declan Donnelly? Um, I had a BMX with yellow mag wheels.
6:53 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, wow.
6:54 Declan Donnelly? BMX is still a thing with you trendy kids?
6:56 Speaker 06 Did you go to the ramps on your BMX?
6:58 Ant McPartlin? Nah, just down the hills, there's no ramps.
7:00 Declan Donnelly? I built, I built a ramp, I built a ramp in the back street with a few bricks and a bit of wood.
7:05 Ant McPartlin? Did it work though?
7:06 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it worked, yeah.
7:07 Ant McPartlin? It did?
7:07 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
7:08 Ant McPartlin? Didn't fall off into yourself?
7:09 Declan Donnelly? Not then, not, that was until later and we'd just sat on the tigway. Oh yeah. Um, do you still ride a bike nowadays?
7:15 Ant McPartlin? I ride a motorbike.
7:17 Speaker 06 Do you guys ride your bikes together still now?
7:21 Ant McPartlin? No, we didn't ride bikes on Biker Grove.
7:24 Declan Donnelly? Biker Grove had nothing to do with bikes.
7:26 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, we swam together and then rode on bikes together. Um. Two went from Biker Grove.
7:29 Declan Donnelly? I, I have a bike.
7:32 Ant McPartlin? I've got a bike.
7:33 Declan Donnelly? But I don't really use it very much.
7:35 Ant McPartlin? No, I don't.
7:36 Speaker 06 When was the last time you were sat on a bike, seen on a bike?
7:39 Declan Donnelly? Seen on a bike as.
7:40 Speaker 06 On a bike, you had a bike under you.
7:44 Ant McPartlin? Oh, we had a bike under us. When was the last time?
7:47 Declan Donnelly? When was the last time you had a bike under you?
7:48 Ant McPartlin? Uh, last time I had a bike under me was on holiday, I think.
7:51 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, probably.
7:52 Ant McPartlin? When I was, uh, it was one of those resorts where to get round the resort.
7:56 Declan Donnelly? You have to have a bike.
7:58 Ant McPartlin? That was good.
7:58 Declan Donnelly? Very trendy.
8:00 Ant McPartlin? Have I ever been on a Lime bike? Yeah.
8:02 Speaker 06 Have you?
8:02 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. What do you mean? Why are you so shocked at that? Cause I've been on a Lime bike. There was a period where people, where I used to live, used to leave their Lime bikes outside the, my house.
8:11 Declan Donnelly? Oh.
8:12 Ant McPartlin? Just outside the gates. I got so angry and one day I kicked them all down. But I was told I had, uh, anger issues by the kids. I don't have anger issues. I was just angry at the people who kept leaving. There were like four of them. And then every day I'd go out and it's, it's as if they knew it was winding me up. And there would be one parked outside my house every day. So I was like, ah, come with us and kicked it over.
8:35 Declan Donnelly? We'll have to bleep that.
8:36 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
8:38 Ant McPartlin? But that's not anger issues.
8:39 Declan Donnelly? Is it not?
8:39 Ant McPartlin? I was just angry. That's not anger, anger issues, you're angry at everything.
8:44 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
8:44 Speaker 06 Is that why you moved out of London?
8:46 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I had to move out of London because people were parking bikes in front of my house. This'll be a story now in the Daily Mail. And I, and I'm here for it. I'm fury at Lime bikes.
8:58 Ant McPartlin? Have you ridden a line bike?
8:59 Declan Donnelly? Don't know if I have.
9:00 Speaker 06 We should do it as part of the It's fun experience, yeah.
9:03 Ant McPartlin? Is it? It is fun, yeah.
9:04 Declan Donnelly? But I've got my own bike, I'll just go on that.
9:06 Speaker 06 It goes so fast.
9:07 Ant McPartlin? You go faster on a line bike?
9:08 Speaker 06 Yeah.
9:08 Ant McPartlin? Because they're electric.
9:10 Declan Donnelly? I'm not bothered about that. I go fast when I do.
9:12 Ant McPartlin? You're not bothered about going fast?
9:13 Declan Donnelly? I go fast when I do my legs like that.
9:16 Ant McPartlin? When it goes downhill, it goes fast. I've still got, I've still got to be a Mex.
9:21 Declan Donnelly? Have you?
9:21 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
9:22 Declan Donnelly? Haven't you?
9:22 Ant McPartlin? I do.
9:23 Declan Donnelly? Ah, I thought about getting a BMX though.
9:25 Ant McPartlin? Look how excited he is.
9:26 Declan Donnelly? Honestly.
9:26 Ant McPartlin? Shall I bring it in?
9:27 Declan Donnelly? Yes. Yes!
9:28 Ant McPartlin? Good, okay, we'll pump up the tyres. Because the tyre, I haven't used it in so long.
9:33 Speaker 06 Oh yeah, backies, backies.
9:35 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, you can do a backer.
9:36 Speaker 06 Is that what you call it?
9:37 Declan Donnelly? Backer, yeah, can have a backer.
9:39 Speaker 06 It varies where you're from in the country, what you call that.
9:40 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I bet it does vary where you're from in the country, whatever you call that. A hundred people you just said.
9:47 Ant McPartlin? Because we might cut your bit out in the queue now.
9:51 Declan Donnelly? What do you call it? A backy?
9:53 Ant McPartlin? A backy?
9:53 Speaker 06 I call it a backy.
9:54 Ant McPartlin? That's what you put in your cigarette paper, isn't it?
9:56 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, that's that.
9:56 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. In Newcastle, you call it a backer. Because a backer. Uh, that was, I think we gave a really fully rounded answer there.
10:04 Declan Donnelly? Yes, we did. Jonathan, thank you for that question. It was very good.
10:07 Ant McPartlin? Love to your moustache. Right, next voice now.
10:10 Speaker 06 Hey, Lizzie here, originally from Whitley Bay and now living in Auckland, New Zealand.
10:16 Ant McPartlin? Ooh.
10:17 Speaker 06 And as you can hear, lads, I have lost my voice.
10:19 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
10:20 Speaker 06 It's been rather challenging at work this week.
10:22 Ant McPartlin? Why are you doing this then?
10:22 Speaker 06 My question to you is, have either of you ever lost your voice before a big event? What was it? When was it? And how did you get around it? Love the pod and yeah, take care to all the team. Bye.
10:37 Declan Donnelly? Ah, thanks, Lizzie. She sounds lovely.
10:39 Ant McPartlin? She sounds lovely. I'll answer the last bit first. The best way to go around it and fix it is by not speaking. So she's, she's ruined that.
10:47 Declan Donnelly? When we do Britain's Got Talent and all the singers are on there and they can't, because they've done so much rehearsal and so much practising, that when they're down on set and we're rehearsing with them, they're not allowed to talk.
10:57 Ant McPartlin? No.
10:58 Declan Donnelly? And there were a little sign around their neck with a sign and it just says, "Don't talk to me, I'm on voice rest." So.
11:04 Ant McPartlin? It's true.
11:05 Declan Donnelly? And we go, "How are you? How's your rehearsal been going?" And they just go, "Mm."
11:08 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
11:09 Declan Donnelly? "Mm."
11:09 Ant McPartlin? Part of the sign. I lost my voice badly on the last series of Armed Celebrity.
11:16 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, you did.
11:16 Ant McPartlin? On the last series in Australia, didn't you?
11:18 Declan Donnelly? You did, didn't you?
11:18 Ant McPartlin? I had to take steroids and everything to try and.
11:21 Declan Donnelly? Eat.
11:22 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, go riding up.
11:23 Declan Donnelly? Just wanted to bulk up.
11:24 Ant McPartlin? To try and make it better, but it took, it took a while.
11:27 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it did.
11:28 Ant McPartlin? It really, the rest of me felt fine. I didn't feel like I had a cold or anything, which my voice was just gone.
11:33 Declan Donnelly? So it wasn't a cold or a flu?
11:35 Ant McPartlin? Nah.
11:36 Declan Donnelly? The voice went?
11:36 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, my voice just went.
11:37 Declan Donnelly? Isn't that funny?
11:39 Ant McPartlin? But just got on with it.
11:41 Declan Donnelly? I usually lose mine.
11:42 Ant McPartlin? The show must go on.
11:44 Declan Donnelly? And it did. I usually lose mine when we be doing a lot of talking, so after a series of something.
11:50 Ant McPartlin? Right.
11:51 Declan Donnelly? And we get to the end of the series and then you, you know, when your body knows that you're gonna have a little bit of break and you normally get ill.
11:56 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
11:56 Declan Donnelly? That's when I normally lose my voice. So I don't lose it before the show. I always lose it after the show.
12:01 Ant McPartlin? Do you ever lose it after we do a podcast? Cause this is where you would do your most talking.
12:07 Declan Donnelly? Yeah. No, no. I don't talk that much really.
12:12 Ant McPartlin? On the podcast?
12:13 Declan Donnelly? Hmm.
12:13 Ant McPartlin? You do? And you talk over me a lot?
12:18 Declan Donnelly? I don't think I do, do I, do I?
12:20 Ant McPartlin? Talk over me?
12:21 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
12:22 Ant McPartlin? I'll talk a lot.
12:22 Declan Donnelly? I can't remember the last.
12:24 Ant McPartlin? What? What are you talking about? Yeah, you do talk over me all the time. Yeah, yeah, no, you do. Get well soon, Lizzy.
12:30 Declan Donnelly? Thank you, Lizzy, and lots of love down under.
12:33 Ant McPartlin? Porch.
12:34 Declan Donnelly? Lots of love to New Zealand.
12:35 Ant McPartlin? Lots of love down under.
12:39 Declan Donnelly? Right.
12:41 Ant McPartlin? Next message, please.
12:44 Speaker 06 Hi, Anne and Dec. It's Sally Anne here. I first came to see you in 1995, Aupsit Shurigen. Your support act was the Backstreet Boys. How did this come about?
12:57 Declan Donnelly? Thank you, Sally Anne.
12:57 Ant McPartlin? Lovely and short. Thank you, Sally. Lovely short question there.
13:01 Declan Donnelly? Thank you, Sally Anne.
13:02 Ant McPartlin? That does surprise people that our warm-up act or support act on our tour was the Backstreet Boys.
13:10 Ant McPartlin? But she's absolutely correct, it was. And they, I don't know how it came about, I think the record company, you know, asked for them to go on our bill. And I think they pay you to get on the, I'm sure they did, didn't they? They paid us to get on the tour. So we put that money towards, you know, putting the tour on. And then.
13:27 Declan Donnelly? And on crisps and snacks.
13:28 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, on our rider. And we couldn't quite believe them when we first saw them. We thought, we would watch the Backstreet Boys from the side of stage before we went on. And we were like, what is this? This is never gonna work. This is so cheesy.
13:46 Declan Donnelly? Well, it's because they were a five-piece American boy band, and they would do this bit in the show where they'd got a fan out of the audience, and they bring her up onto the stage, and then a little table comes out with a red and white check tablecloth.
13:57 Ant McPartlin? And a rose.
13:58 Declan Donnelly? And a rose. And she sits there, and they all gather around her, and they all sing to her. And we used to stand in the wings.
14:04 Ant McPartlin? We're like, oh my god, this is cheese on toast.
14:07 Declan Donnelly? Well, this is never gonna work. These girls are gonna see through these guys. This is so bad.
14:12 Ant McPartlin? Cut to a hundred million album sales later, and they were the biggest band in the world, and PJ Duncan were no more. So what do we know?
14:20 Declan Donnelly? Well, yeah, they were lovely lads. They came on tour with us. We used to sit in catering before the show.
14:25 Ant McPartlin? We did.
14:26 Declan Donnelly? And have, uh, have, uh.
14:28 Ant McPartlin? Cheese on toast.
14:30 Declan Donnelly? I remember one day we had a, do you remember we had a roast dinner? It must have been a Sunday, we were doing a show, and we had roasts. And they were like, what is this? In the Yorkshire pudding? And, uh, we had all the condiments out, and they go, and they were going, like, what, what sauce do you put on, on a, on a roast dinner? What is it? And they picked up a bottle of HP sauce, and they go, this one? I went, yeah, yeah, yeah. Put that all over it, see?
14:52 Ant McPartlin? Oh my god, we were mean girls. We were mean girls. We were, we were the mean girls.
14:57 Declan Donnelly? They loved it. They absolutely loved it. It was the tall one. Who's the tall one? The really tall one?
15:04 Ant McPartlin? Well, at the time, we used to just call them all Billy Backstreet.
15:09 Ant McPartlin? It saves learning their names and they were like kinda cool with it.
15:11 Declan Donnelly? Kevin? Was the tall one Kevin?
15:13 Speaker 04 Kevin.
15:14 Declan Donnelly? Kevin.
15:14 Ant McPartlin? Billy Backstreet.
15:15 Speaker 04 Six foot one.
15:16 Declan Donnelly? I remember playing Wolverhampton Civic Hall and they came just beforehand.
15:22 Declan Donnelly? Hey guys, how do you pronounce this place? Is it Wolverhampton? Yes, that's exactly how you.
15:28 Ant McPartlin? We were mean girls. I'll say it again, we were mean girls.
15:31 Declan Donnelly? Is it W or is it a V? Or is it a V? Wolverhampton?
15:35 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it's like, it's like how the Germans pronounce it, that's right. The Germans pronounce the W as a V.
15:41 Declan Donnelly? God, we were horrible.
15:42 Ant McPartlin? Mean girls, we were mean girls.
15:46 Declan Donnelly? But they were lovely lads.
15:48 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, you keep saying that, you keep trying to write it down and then you keep remembering things when you were mean to them.
15:54 Declan Donnelly? They've had a lot of success since and I'm dead happy for them.
16:00 Ant McPartlin? Come on.
16:03 Speaker 07 Hi Ant and Dec, I'm Florian and listening from Austria.
16:06 Declan Donnelly? Woo!
16:06 Speaker 07 As you're always raving about your butchered sausages, I wanted to know if you have ever tried Austrian sausages like Sachow Wurstel?
16:16 Declan Donnelly? Sorry, say it again?
16:18 Ant McPartlin? Just repeat the last bit.
16:20 Speaker 07 Austrian sausages like Sachow Wurstel.
16:22 Declan Donnelly? Slap them, slap them. Have you ever tried a Slap them, slap them?
16:25 Ant McPartlin? I don't think I've had a Slap them, slap them.
16:28 Declan Donnelly? I've never had an Austrian sausage.
16:30 Ant McPartlin? No, I haven't had an Austrian sausage.
16:31 Declan Donnelly? Florian, this is a great idea.
16:33 Ant McPartlin? I've had Frankfurters from Germany, Bratwurst, I've had all that kind of German sausage.
16:40 Declan Donnelly? I haven't had an Austrian sausage.
16:41 Ant McPartlin? But I don't think I've had an Austrian sausage. What's an Austrian sausage? Austrian sausage? Austrian sausage?
16:50 Ant McPartlin? Where do you buy such a thing?
16:51 Declan Donnelly? Where do you get your hands on an Austrian sausage in London?
16:54 Ant McPartlin? Depends what bar you go to.
16:55 Declan Donnelly? Austria, yeah.
16:58 Declan Donnelly? Who's on line three?
16:59 Speaker 04 Alright lads, it's Lois here from Sunderland. First off, why is Sunderland not pinned on your map yet? Can we sort that out ASAP please? I think we deserve it after doing the double on you this season. Anyway, I just wanted to touch on retro crisps, specifically Munster Munch. So basically, Ant said that the way he likes to eat those crisps is to bite off each of the toes and then eat the circle.
17:23 Ant McPartlin? That's right, pet.
17:24 Speaker 04 Well, apparently, those aren't toes. If you were to stand that crisp up in front of you right now on your table and have a look at it, they are legs, two arms on the sides, and the circle is kind of like the head body. So I just want to know what you guys think. Do you think it's a foot or do you think it's a full-on Munster with arms and legs? Anyway, I would love to have yours over for a sleepover at mine. However, I don't have an on suite. My wifi is pretty sketchy and my fridge is always empty because I don't ever do a big shop. And I just want to give the pod and YouTube and you guys a solid eight bananas. I absolutely love yous. Hi to Heckler's Corner, yous are doing amazing. And yeah, respect guys.
18:09 Declan Donnelly? Oh, what a brilliant message.
18:10 Ant McPartlin? What amazingly long message. How long was that?
18:15 Declan Donnelly? What a lovely message though.
18:16 Ant McPartlin? Great message, great question, great throw of the Munster Munch. You couldn't make it land like that if I give you a million tries.
18:25 Ant McPartlin? That's like a fifty pence piece has landed on its side after a coin toss. That's, that's, uh, okay, past the pigs.
18:34 Declan Donnelly? Oh yeah, Megan Megan.
18:35 Ant McPartlin? Give, Megan Megan. Hold on a second.
18:39 Declan Donnelly? So?
18:40 Ant McPartlin? Right, I've got a bag of Munster Munch. I am opening them up. They are pickled onion flavour.
18:45 Declan Donnelly? I always thought they were Munster feet.
18:46 Ant McPartlin? I did.
18:49 Ant McPartlin? That's small, I don't even remember, isn't it? So hold on, upside down like that. And then Munster's legs. I don't think it helps that you don't have the cartoon Munster on the front as reference. Do you know what I mean? What are you, what are you reading it for?
19:03 Declan Donnelly? They're really good.
19:04 Ant McPartlin? So that's not its feet.
19:06 Declan Donnelly? Well.
19:07 Ant McPartlin? I mean, you couldn't really bite them. The way I remember them, the, the, the arms or the fingers or whatever were thicker.
19:17 Ant McPartlin? Oh, they're tasty though, aren't they?
19:24 Declan Donnelly? But on the, on the packet.
19:26 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
19:27 Declan Donnelly? They've got them the other way up, so they're not in the sa- in the shape of a monster and they're not. So they've got them with their legs facing up in the air.
19:39 Speaker 04 What do you think, what's your verdict, foot or monster?
19:41 Ant McPartlin? Well, the way they look when you get them out of the bag, that doesn't look like a monster to me. Whatever way you hold it up.
19:48 Speaker 04 It's a bit like an octopus, isn't it?
19:49 Ant McPartlin? But it also doesn't look like a hand. It, I'm not sure what it looks like, but it tastes bloody great.
19:54 Declan Donnelly? Oh, I get it now.
19:55 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
19:56 Declan Donnelly? So it's two legs and two long arms?
19:57 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
19:59 Declan Donnelly? And that's how the monsters are, aren't they? The monster munch monsters, monster munch monsters?
20:04 Ant McPartlin? Well.
20:05 Declan Donnelly? But why is the picture on the front? All the way around?
20:12 Ant McPartlin? I don't know.
20:15 Declan Donnelly? Who makes these nowadays? Walkers.
20:20 Ant McPartlin? Gary Lineker's to blame.
20:22 Speaker 04 Oh, officially Walkers confirmed that Monster Munch snacks are shaped like monsters' feet.
20:28 Ant McPartlin? Monsters' feet, yeah, see?
20:30 Speaker 04 Yeah.
20:30 Ant McPartlin? Eat the toes!
20:31 Speaker 04 Or paws or claws.
20:33 Declan Donnelly? Or paws or claws.
20:34 Ant McPartlin? So I was right, I was eating the toes or claws.
20:37 Declan Donnelly? So Loz, I think you'll find that they are monsters' claws and paws.
20:42 Ant McPartlin? I think you've been had.
20:43 Declan Donnelly? Fiona reckons the official line from Walkers, from Gary Lineker himself, was that they are monsters' claws and paws. Thanks for your message though, Loz.
20:53 Ant McPartlin? Apparently I chew very, uh.
20:55 Declan Donnelly? Loudly, loudly, loudly.
20:57 Ant McPartlin? Do I? I did just stand near the microphone.
21:00 Declan Donnelly? Hmm.
21:00 Ant McPartlin? If, if I wasn't near a microphone and you were just sat opposite me in the restaurant, would you think, God, he chews loudly?
21:06 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I have noticed that before.
21:08 Ant McPartlin? Eh?
21:08 Declan Donnelly? Hmm.
21:10 Declan Donnelly? And sometimes you go.
21:12 Ant McPartlin? No, I don't.
21:13 Declan Donnelly? And you take your food in.
21:14 Ant McPartlin? I don't, no I don't.
21:15 Declan Donnelly? You kind of go.
21:15 Ant McPartlin? What, yeah, if I'm eating noodles. This segment is an advert for Santander, who understand managing money can sometimes be overwhelming, and building small, everyday habits can make it feel more manageable.
21:31 Declan Donnelly? Can you hear that?
21:32 Ant McPartlin? What is that?
21:33 Declan Donnelly? That is a, that is a special phone.
21:34 Ant McPartlin? That's not that.
21:35 Declan Donnelly? No, no.
21:36 Ant McPartlin? Hello? Hello?
21:37 Declan Donnelly? This.
21:37 Ant McPartlin? Ooh, a red phone, what's this?
21:39 Declan Donnelly? We've got, um, special messages.
21:42 Ant McPartlin? From?
21:42 Declan Donnelly? Special messages.
21:43 Ant McPartlin? From the King.
21:44 Declan Donnelly? No.
21:45 Ant McPartlin? You have been knighted.
21:46 Declan Donnelly? No.
21:46 Ant McPartlin? To Ant and Sir Death.
21:47 Declan Donnelly? No, it's not that one. Let's have a listen.
21:51 Ant McPartlin? Shannon, I need some urgent ethical advice. So last week, my best friend and I booked a weekend trip away together. We bought the cheapest flight side by side. When we got to the airport, the person on the gate randomly called my name and told me that due to an overbooking error, I'd been upgraded to first class for free. Get in. But here's my dilemma. What? My friend was left sitting in the back in row thirty four. She's next to a crying baby while I spent the flight having complimentary champagne and eating warm nuts in a reclining seat. I obviously didn't offer to switch with her because, well, it's first class. But now we're on holiday and she's being incredibly cold all holiday.
22:36 Ant McPartlin? She's saying that a true friend would have declined the upgrade to stay sitting next to each other. Am I a selfish monster or should she be celebrating my good fortune? Yeah, you're a bit of a selfish.
22:49 Declan Donnelly? It sounds like the problem is hers, not yours.
22:51 Ant McPartlin? What?
22:52 Declan Donnelly? What? Yeah, you've got to take the upgrade.
22:55 Ant McPartlin? But you've gone on holiday together. You just, if you're next to each other down row thirty four, then you stay together.
23:01 Declan Donnelly? I would celebrate you getting an upgrade if that's.
23:04 Ant McPartlin? Absolutely, you would not.
23:05 Declan Donnelly? I would.
23:06 Ant McPartlin? You would not.
23:06 Declan Donnelly? I would understand it. I'd be, I'd be, I'd be jealous. I'd wish it was me.
23:11 Ant McPartlin? I'd be jealous.
23:11 Declan Donnelly? I'd wish it was me, but I wouldn't say, oh no, don't do it.
23:14 Ant McPartlin? No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't say, don't do it so you can sit next to me and Connery.
23:18 Declan Donnelly? No way.
23:19 Ant McPartlin? It all depends on the friend though.
23:21 Declan Donnelly? Hmm.
23:21 Ant McPartlin? Because if they, if they've got a history of being a bit whingey, like stuff, then you know you're just gonna have a horrible holiday when you get there. So is it worth the warm nuts? And reclining chair? Do you know what I mean? Is it worth warm nuts and a reclining chair? Just to sit next to whingey balls?
23:37 Declan Donnelly? Whingey nuts.
23:38 Ant McPartlin? Whingey nuts.
23:39 Declan Donnelly? Warm nuts, whingey nuts.
23:40 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, that's, that's what you, she should have weighed that up earlier on, on the way back, pay for her to fly first class.
23:46 Declan Donnelly? No.
23:48 Ant McPartlin? I'm joking.
23:49 Declan Donnelly? I'd say that. I'd say like, halfway through the flight, let's swap, shall we? I'd be like that. I must go on. Blanket.
23:57 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I know.
23:57 Declan Donnelly? Seatbelt over the blanket.
23:59 Ant McPartlin? Like a good boy.
24:00 Declan Donnelly? Like a good boy.
24:00 Ant McPartlin? Like a plain swat that he is.
24:02 Declan Donnelly? And there'd be no getting me up.
24:04 Ant McPartlin? I'm two episodes into this box set, so I can't.
24:09 Declan Donnelly? Let's have another call.
24:11 Speaker 05 Hi Agony and Tandere, it's Steve here.
24:13 Declan Donnelly? Hi Steve.
24:13 Speaker 05 I was wondering if you could help me.
24:15 Declan Donnelly? Try.
24:15 Speaker 05 I'm in a bit of a situation and I need your help. One of my closest friends is getting married, which is very exciting. And of course, that means stag stag stag. But as time's gone on, the cost of the whole thing has just ratcheted up. First, there were the flights, then the accommodation. And then you've got to think about what you're doing there. There's the activities, there's the big evening meal. Now someone's added a second big evening meal. There's pranks, there's costumes.
24:45 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
24:45 Speaker 05 There's a pre-booked bar tab for a private room. It's all just getting a bit ridiculous. Added to all this, the wedding itself is on a remote island in Greece. So then there's flights there, accommodation there, a gift and about a week of annual leave. Anyway, this guy is one of my best friends and this is my big group of friends. So I don't want to let him down. I don't want to let the boys down. But now I'm really worried about how much it's all costing. Do I bail?
25:12 Declan Donnelly? Oh, Steve, you can't bail. He's one of your best pals.
25:17 Ant McPartlin? He's one of your best friends.
25:18 Declan Donnelly? Don't miss out on the private room though, for the prank, because that sounds like it could be fun.
25:24 Declan Donnelly? Do not miss out on it.
25:25 Ant McPartlin? And a little bit spicy.
25:26 Declan Donnelly? Do not miss out on that, Steve.
25:27 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, there's a, there's a bar tab for a private room. Is there really?
25:32 Declan Donnelly? In fact.
25:32 Ant McPartlin? On a stag do. When can we come? When is it?
25:36 Declan Donnelly? I'll pay for one of your meals if I can come along.
25:37 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
25:40 Ant McPartlin? And also, like, if you get to, like, if you're saving little and often and you get to the stag or you get to the wedding and you go, do you know what? I'm going to go on the destination, I'm going to fly on the, the flight. But I might miss one of those meals. They're not going to mind.
25:55 Declan Donnelly? That's true.
25:56 Ant McPartlin? They're not.
25:56 Declan Donnelly? That's true.
25:57 Ant McPartlin? You've got, I can't, I can't afford two big meals. I'm going to miss the first one, I'll, I'll do the second one.
26:01 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
26:01 Ant McPartlin? Everyone will understand that.
26:02 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
26:02 Ant McPartlin? If they're your true friends, they'll understand.
26:04 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
26:04 Ant McPartlin? And he'll definitely understand if he's one of your best friends.
26:07 Declan Donnelly? Yeah. You've got to approach this in a, in an organised and professional manner.
26:15 Declan Donnelly? You've got to save, little and often, but a little bit every week. Put it away for the wedding fund. Even though it's not your wedding, you're going to have to save for the wedding fund.
26:25 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, and that's exactly what Santander are about. Helping you take charge of your money and encouraging you to build good saving habits.

27:22 Speaker 06 I have.
27:22 Ant McPartlin? Well done.
27:23 Declan Donnelly? Good job.
27:26 Ant McPartlin? Fancy a quickie?
27:27 Declan Donnelly? Shall we have a quickie to finish?
27:28 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
27:28 Declan Donnelly? Come on then.
27:29 Speaker 07 Hello, this is Matthew from Newcastle.
27:31 Ant McPartlin? Hello, Matthew.
27:32 Speaker 07 Question, Fran and Dec. My question is, two questions. What is your golf handicap? And which is your favourite golf course ever? Thanks.
27:43 Ant McPartlin? Oh, great golfy question, I'm glad we made room for him.
27:47 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
27:49 Ant McPartlin? So golf handicaps is very interesting because we have been down. I reckon, when I was playing my best golf, I reckon I was down to like 17. On a, on a good day. I played all the time, but I reckon I'm probably more than 19 now.
28:06 Declan Donnelly? I reckon we're both 18 handicappers.
28:08 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We play off 18.
28:12 Declan Donnelly? We play off 18.
28:13 Ant McPartlin? We play off 18.
28:14 Declan Donnelly? Whether the rest of the people like it or not. No, we're all 15. And favourite course ever, well, favourite golf course ever is one we haven't actually played, we've just visited it and walked around it, because we were lucky enough about 12 or 13 years ago to go to the Masters in Augusta and.
28:34 Ant McPartlin? It's like the Disneyland of golf.
28:37 Declan Donnelly? It is.
28:37 Ant McPartlin? Oh my god.
28:39 Declan Donnelly? So Augusta National, we walked around it, we actually went two years, didn't we?
28:43 Ant McPartlin? We did, yeah.
28:44 Declan Donnelly? And walked around it for a few days, followed Lee Westwood when he was playing there.
28:48 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, playing and playing very well.
28:50 Declan Donnelly? And playing brilliantly. We caddied at the par three, you caddied for Lee Westwood, I caddied for Thomas Bjorn on the par three day.
28:55 Ant McPartlin? Very lucky.
28:56 Declan Donnelly? So we had an incredible.
28:57 Ant McPartlin? Lee.
28:58 Declan Donnelly? Couple of days in Augusta National.
29:00 Ant McPartlin? We were there with Alan Shearer, all of our Geordie friends, Graham Wiley, it was just the best, the best. But you, you look at it and you go, I don't think we could play there.
29:12 Declan Donnelly? Oh, I'd give it a good bash.
29:13 Ant McPartlin? We're too crap.
29:14 Declan Donnelly? We are too crap, but I'd give it a good bash.
29:16 Ant McPartlin? But the greens are too quick, they, they, they move too much, it's, it's very undulating. We'd really struggle.
29:23 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
29:24 Ant McPartlin? We would.
29:24 Declan Donnelly? You'd, you'd feel battered after you came.
29:27 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, you would. We feel battered on a regular course, never mind Augusta National.
29:31 Declan Donnelly? Here's the thing about Augusta National as well, it's incredibly strict. So when you go there, you're not allowed, for the Masters, you're not allowed to take your camera or your phone. So you have to lock them away at the, at the gates, the big lockers at the beginning, you check them in, you go out there. So there's no cameras, no phones on the course. So you got, you watch the, you watch the golf in peace.
29:51 Ant McPartlin? Which is, which is interesting though, because every now and again at the back of a green, there's a, a grandstand where you can sit down and watch the golfers come in and play that green. And the majority of people are American, because it's in Georgia America. But every now and again you'll meet a European and, and you'll definitely meet, meet Brits. And whenever we see a Brit, they go, oh, I'm Jack, can I? And they stand up and check their back pocket and they go, nothing, doesn't matter. It's okay. And realise because they haven't got their phone. It's just like.
30:21 Declan Donnelly? Can I have a phone? Oh, no, can't.
30:23 Ant McPartlin? Can I get a cell? One person kind of had a pen on them, so was prepared to went, can I have your autograph? We're like, oh, I haven't done this in a while. Yes, you can. How do I write my name again? Oh God, everything's electronic these days. Can you give me a second? Oh, I shouldn't be talking to this lad there on the green. But yeah, that Loch Lomond we've played in Scotland, that was amazing.
30:44 Declan Donnelly? Let me finish me Augusta story.
30:45 Ant McPartlin? Oh, you're still going?
30:46 Declan Donnelly? Still going. So when you go there as well, and they open the gates, you know, when you open the gates for a big event like that and people come in and they go, oh, I want to get a good spot, a good spot, and you've got to run to the bit. No running. There's wardens there and security. And they shout out, no running at Augusta National.
31:02 Ant McPartlin? No running at the Masters.
31:03 Declan Donnelly? There's no running at Augusta National. So we were there one day and we'd been, we'd been around the course, three days on the trot, baking sunshine. And we were waiting, a mate of ours had checked his phone in, so he was in the queue to get his phone back. And we were waiting and got down on his honkers and then he sat on a little wall and then lay back, do you remember he lay back on the grass, just taking a bit of sun. And the steward came over, he went, excuse me, sir, there's no lying down at Augusta National.
31:32 Ant McPartlin? What can you do? Sunburn here.
31:35 Declan Donnelly? This is ridiculous, this. This is ridiculous. There's no lying down at Augusta National.
31:40 Ant McPartlin? It does make for the most pleasant experience ever, doesn't it?
31:44 Declan Donnelly? Very, very refined.
31:46 Ant McPartlin? It's very refined.
31:47 Declan Donnelly? Very dignified.
31:48 Ant McPartlin? Wonderful. We've also played St Andrews, the home of golf in Scotland. That was amazing. Very, very iconic.
31:56 Declan Donnelly? What did you say? Yeah, birdied the eight. Yeah.
31:59 Ant McPartlin? What did you say? You also hit the hotel, yeah, on the 17th. Yeah, I remember that. I probably 18th. I got a round of applause from the locals.
32:09 Declan Donnelly? What other great courses we've played?
32:10 Ant McPartlin? Loch Lomond's really good. Royal Portrush in Ireland, that was amazing.
32:15 Declan Donnelly? Amazing.
32:15 Ant McPartlin? Played there with Graham McDowell. That was wonderful.
32:17 Declan Donnelly? Our favourite course of the North East is Close House.
32:20 Ant McPartlin? Close House is fantastic. I know you've got to go guys, but we, this is, yeah, this is going to be a quick one, but we like talking about golf.
32:26 Declan Donnelly? Okay, this one's just a quickie. We've got to leave it there. Thanks, Matthew. Great question.
32:30 Ant McPartlin? That was really good. That was really good.
32:32 Declan Donnelly? On the voice notes, we will be back.
32:34 Ant McPartlin? For the main pod on Thursday. I'd like to talk about my microphone technique at some point.
32:40 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
32:41 Ant McPartlin? I feel like I'm a way along.
32:42 Declan Donnelly? In and out, in and out, yeah.
32:43 Ant McPartlin? I think I must be annoying to listen to.
32:47 Ant McPartlin? As is this laugh. Okay, see you next time.
32:50 Declan Donnelly? Remember to drop us a follow wherever you listen to your podcasts. And subscribe to Bells Box, the YouTube channel. And we will see you back here on Thursday.
32:59 Ant McPartlin? Follow and subscribe.
33:01 Declan Donnelly? Until then, see you Thursday, respect guys.
33:03 Ant McPartlin? Respect guys, see you later.
33:04 Declan Donnelly? Bye. Do you want these mustard munch?
33:06 Ant McPartlin? No, you have one. You have one. Come on, we've got two times.
33:27 Speaker 01 Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid and risked 350,000 Virginians' healthcare to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the HouseMajorityPac.com.
