  Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon Fall Drop because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's Fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces, so I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece, and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 1:32Speaker 03

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?

• 1:33Speaker 02

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

• 1:39Speaker 04

  Hey, let's get back to work, please.

• 1:41Speaker 02

  But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites.

• 1:45Speaker 04

  Taylor Hansen? Nice.

• 1:47Speaker 03

  Try one.

• 1:48Speaker 04

  Mmm.

• 1:52Declan Donnelly?

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

• 2:06Declan Donnelly?

  Hello everybody, welcome back to a bonus episode here in the hangout with hanging out with me and him. I can't help noticing you guys were playing a little bit of Grease there before we came on to record the pod.

• 2:19Ant McPartlin?

  Dec loves Grease.

• 2:20Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not a big fan of Grease, not a big fan of Grease. Gives me chills and they're multiplying. No, I'm not a big fan of Grease. Any musicals you're not a fan of?

• 2:30Ant McPartlin?

  All of them, really?

• 2:32Declan Donnelly?

  Not all of them.

• 2:33Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 2:34Declan Donnelly?

  There must be a musical you like.

• 2:37Ant McPartlin?

  Don't think there is.

• 2:38Declan Donnelly?

  Little Shop of Horrors.

• 2:40Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's okay, it's okay.

• 2:42Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 2:43Ant McPartlin?

  I mean, I'd like to be in Little Shop of Horrors.

• 2:45Declan Donnelly?

  Who would you play?

• 2:46Ant McPartlin?

  The dentist, obviously. Who would you play?

• 2:49Declan Donnelly?

  Seymour.

• 2:50Ant McPartlin?

  Of course. We thought about doing that for a while, didn't we?

• 2:54Declan Donnelly?

  We did, that was nearly on the cards. Me as Seymour Crowellborn and as...

• 3:00Ant McPartlin?

  The dentist?

• 3:00Declan Donnelly?

  The dentist.

• 3:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we would, I'd like to, I think we would like to do, definitely do theatre. You would definitely like to be in a musical, wouldn't you?

• 3:09Declan Donnelly?

  At some point, yeah.

• 3:10Speaker 02

  Panto.

• 3:11Declan Donnelly?

  We've done Panto.

• 3:11Ant McPartlin?

  We've done Panto.

• 3:12Declan Donnelly?

  We did that in 1998. Summer of the Empire.

• 3:15Ant McPartlin?

  Oh no, we didn't. Oh yes, we did.

• 3:18Declan Donnelly?

  Oh no, we did. Oh, we did.

• 3:19Ant McPartlin?

  But yeah, we've had quite a few conversations about doing theatre in the future. And I think we probably will at some point, whether we're singing it or not.

• 3:30Declan Donnelly?

  I will.

• 3:33Ant McPartlin?

  I might too.

• 3:35Declan Donnelly?

  I will.

• 3:37Ant McPartlin?

  I might.

• 3:41Speaker 02

  If you could be in Wickers, you could be Glinda Elthaba.

• 3:44Ant McPartlin?

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 3:47Declan Donnelly?

  If you had to rate your least favourite musical, which would it be?

• 3:50Ant McPartlin?

  Bananas.

• 3:51Declan Donnelly?

  Which one would it be?

• 3:53Ant McPartlin?

  I think you're asking if I had to rate things, what would I rate it? Bananas, obviously.

• 3:56Declan Donnelly?

  What would your very worst musical be?

• 3:59Ant McPartlin?

  Grease is up there.

• 4:00Declan Donnelly?

  Is it?

• 4:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 4:01Declan Donnelly?

  Or down there?

• 4:02Ant McPartlin?

  Grease is definitely down there.

• 4:06Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, what about you?

• 4:07Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, Grease, Mamma Mia.

• 4:10Ant McPartlin?

  I don't mind Mamma Mia as much. I don't.

• 4:13Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 4:13Ant McPartlin?

  I don't.

• 4:14Declan Donnelly?

  Now, hang on, hang on, hang on a minute.

• 4:16Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 4:17Declan Donnelly?

  You've got to differentiate just Abba's music from the show.

• 4:21Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, I see. Well, you see, my kids love, my girls love Mamma Mia the Musical a lot. And I see the joy that they get from watching it. So I kind of get it. I don't see anybody getting a lot of joy from watching Grease, although my sister played it on repeat.

• 4:38Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 4:39Ant McPartlin?

  Maybe that's where it comes from.

• 4:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 4:40Ant McPartlin?

  We had VHSs of our favourite movies. I had Superman Three, right? Richard Pryor.

• 4:46Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm, good one.

• 4:47Ant McPartlin?

  They're there. Both keys at the same time. That one, I had that, which I wanted to play a lot, and she had Grease, which she played every Saturday morning. And I never had a go of the video player, because she was always up earlier than me, so she got Grease in first.

• 5:04Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm.

• 5:05Ant McPartlin?

  So that was, and maybe it's just that.

• 5:06Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 5:07Ant McPartlin?

  It's full of rage.

• 5:08Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe there's a little bit of, yeah.

• 5:12Declan Donnelly?

  Bit in there.

• 5:12Ant McPartlin?

  What about you?

• 5:14Declan Donnelly?

  What was the question?

• 5:15Ant McPartlin?

  So you've said Grease and?

• 5:17Declan Donnelly?

  Mamma Mia.

• 5:18Ant McPartlin?

  Mamma Mia.

• 5:18Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm.

• 5:19Ant McPartlin?

  Mm-hmm.

• 5:19Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm.

• 5:20Ant McPartlin?

  Mm-hmm.

• 5:20Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm.

• 5:22Ant McPartlin?

  Okay. I see we've got the phone between us, the yellow banana phone again, so it must be another voice notes edition of the bonus episode.

• 5:31Declan Donnelly?

  Have we got tons of voice notes from people out there?

• 5:33Speaker 07

  I'm absolutely heaving with voice notes.

• 5:36Ant McPartlin?

  Heaving? We're heaving with voice notes.

• 5:39Declan Donnelly?

  Well, we'd better kick on then. Let's, should we get the first one going?

• 5:42Ant McPartlin?

  Kick on.

• 5:45Declan Donnelly?

  Why, are you just taking people, what they said, just repeating it?

• 5:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 5:50Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, great. Who's on line one?

• 5:52Ant McPartlin?

  Line one.

• 5:53Speaker 02

  Hi, Anton Deck. It's Alex calling in from Yorkshire.

• 5:56Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, Alex.

• 5:56Speaker 02

  I really love the podcast.

• 5:58Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you.

• 5:58Speaker 02

  Especially been listening to it whilst I've been travelling for work a lot recently.

• 6:02Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 6:02Speaker 02

  What is the first thing that you both do as soon as you get back?

• 6:06Declan Donnelly?

  From a work trip. Thanks, Alex.

• 6:08Ant McPartlin?

  Thanks, Alex. Good question. I like the way that she dropped that in there. I travel a lot for work. I'm an international jet setter.

• 6:18Declan Donnelly?

  Do you get in and immediately unpack?

• 6:21Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, yeah.

• 6:22Declan Donnelly?

  Do you?

• 6:22Ant McPartlin?

  I like doing that.

• 6:23Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I thought you would. I'm not as organised as that. I'll put it off as long as possible. Yeah.

• 6:28Ant McPartlin?

  I like, when I get to a destination, I like to unpack as quick as I can.

• 6:31Declan Donnelly?

  I like that.

• 6:32Ant McPartlin?

  But then when I get home.

• 6:34Declan Donnelly?

  I'm like, I'm done with you, kiss.

• 6:36Ant McPartlin?

  Wasn't, didn't we, yeah, this rings a bell. When we used to live two doors apart from one another, we used to obviously go to Australia every year for our celebrity. Still do, because I internationally jet set as well, Alex.

• 6:52Ant McPartlin?

  Didn't you have a case of clothes that you had in your garage that you just didn't unpack? Having gone back from Australia for nearly a year.

• 7:02Declan Donnelly?

  Coming, Alex.

• 7:03Ant McPartlin?

  He had a year's worth of clothes that he left in the case in his garage.

• 7:08Declan Donnelly?

  I just couldn't deal with it. I didn't want to deal with it. I was like, I don't need.

• 7:12Ant McPartlin?

  Did you not think, ah, this has got to start smelling?

• 7:15Declan Donnelly?

  No, I didn't.

• 7:15Ant McPartlin?

  And there was nothing in that case that you needed?

• 7:18Declan Donnelly?

  Don't think so. There was every now and again, I go, I wonder what that is. Maybe it's in the case. And I'd put my hand and go, oh, there it is. And I'd kind of take it off and.

• 7:25Ant McPartlin?

  Then leave the rest in there?

• 7:26Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. I just couldn't get, yeah. As soon as I get back, I am like, that case is, I'm done with you now. It's all dirty. I've worn it. I'm a bit bored of it. Um, so I pull on my dirty washing up, put that in the wash bin.

• 7:40Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 7:40Declan Donnelly?

  On the laundry bin. The rest of it, I'll kind of go, I'll do it in a few days. Takes me a few days. I hate it. That's my least favourite thing to do. So, yeah, I get back from an international trip and, um, go back my merry way.

• 7:54Ant McPartlin?

  Doing what?

• 7:55Declan Donnelly?

  Without unpacking. Depends if we've got jet lag. I might have to have a little nap in the afternoon.

• 8:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Yeah. When we got back from New York recently, I'd have a little nap.

• 8:03Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, after the World Cup.

• 8:04Ant McPartlin?

  For that domain, nah.

• 8:05Declan Donnelly?

  I'd have a little.

• 8:06Ant McPartlin?

  Well, you're there for three days. Have you unpacked from New York? I unpacked, I didn't unpack that night when I got back from New York, but I did unpack the next morning.

• 8:13Declan Donnelly?

  It was only hand luggage.

• 8:15Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it was.

• 8:16Declan Donnelly?

  Um, I have unpacked from New York. I came in immediately, I'm dirty washing out and I left it till the next day and then I unpacked the next day.

• 8:23Ant McPartlin?

  See, that's the benefit of only travelling with hand luggage.

• 8:26Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 8:26Ant McPartlin?

  Cause you just think, that's not unsmountable. I can deal with that.

• 8:30Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, it's true actually, that's true, that's very true. That's the thing, it's the size of the suitcase going, oh, that's full of clothes. What am I gonna do with all that? So I was just like, I know, I'll just leave it in the garage for a bit.

• 8:40Ant McPartlin?

  I reckon we should get to a point on aeroplanes where, cause everybody is sick of waiting for their bags.

• 8:47Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 8:48Ant McPartlin?

  It's a real bugbear that we all have.

• 8:50Declan Donnelly?

  Baggage reclaim.

• 8:50Ant McPartlin?

  Baggage reclaim and the bags take longer to come out than they ever have. There's a really good story of, I think it's Denver Airport in America, where they were doing a survey and they were asking all the passengers, how can we improve um the customer service? What can we do better at the airport? And they were like, well, what we don't like, the number one thing that people didn't like was waiting for bags. So they got it down to like seven minutes, the bags were coming out. And still people complained that that was the number one thing that they could do better was their bags to come out quicker. So they thought, right, we can't physically get the bags out of the plane, down the conveyor belt, on the baggage reclaim, work out the right flight with right, the right carousel and all of that.

• 9:34Declan Donnelly?

  Can't do it any quicker.

• 9:34Ant McPartlin?

  Can't do it any quicker physically than we're doing. What we can do though, is park the plane further away from where baggage carousel is. So people's walk was longer. So by the time they got to the baggage carousel, the bags were already there and that, that done the job.

• 9:53Declan Donnelly?

  Wow.

• 9:53Ant McPartlin?

  Good way of thinking though, isn't it?

• 9:54Declan Donnelly?

  That is a good way of thinking.

• 9:55Ant McPartlin?

  If you can't physically change it, then what can you do prior to that? That'll help.

• 10:00Declan Donnelly?

  It's like putting them in those weird queues where you have to keep walking around and around like, like a passport control.

• 10:06Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 10:07Declan Donnelly?

  How about, here's a thing, and I'm just thinking off the top of my head here. Do you think airports should have a bit more live music, being baggage reclaim, like a band?

• 10:17Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 10:19Declan Donnelly?

  Entertainment, like a half time show?

• 10:20Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, talking of music, airports, god, we're very in H D today. We were in the British Airways lounge in America, right?

• 10:31Declan Donnelly?

  New York City.

• 10:32Ant McPartlin?

  New York, and it was all going really well until this guy started getting annoyed.

• 10:39Declan Donnelly?

  So, we're in the lounge, right? We're having a little bite to eat before we get on the plane, because we're gonna go to sleep. And you know you've got the background music, and you know the background music is good when you don't notice it, right?

• 10:51Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you feel like you're in a spa. That's, that's the best.

• 10:54Declan Donnelly?

  Tranquil, relaxing. Halfway through me dinner, what can only be described as heavy metal music started playing over the speakers.

• 11:07Ant McPartlin?

  It was, it was, it was.

• 11:09Declan Donnelly?

  I started by totting loudly.

• 11:11Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 11:12Declan Donnelly?

  Um, compliment to one.

• 11:14Ant McPartlin?

  He kicked his head, he went, mm, mm, like that, I went, oh, he went like that, and I thought, I thought he was gesturing. If you just listened, decked on a head movement like that.

• 11:26Declan Donnelly?

  Like, you know, you flick your head up to the speakers.

• 11:27Ant McPartlin?

  I thought he was gesturing to the guy on the table.

• 11:30Declan Donnelly?

  I was gesturing next to him as well.

• 11:31Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, because he was chewing loudly.

• 11:32Declan Donnelly?

  Because he was eating his ice cubes. He was crunching his ice cubes.

• 11:35Ant McPartlin?

  I wonder what he was chewing?

• 11:36Declan Donnelly?

  Ice cubes.

• 11:37Ant McPartlin?

  I thought they were loud nuts.

• 11:38Declan Donnelly?

  I kicked him, I was like that. Ice cube cruncher.

• 11:41Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, but anyway, then after that, he's, he's done it again. I'm like, what's he all about now? It's the music. He's took offence to the music. So anyway, we're there.

• 11:49Declan Donnelly?

  And I thought, it's a one off, it's a shuffle playlist, it's a one off. Song finishes, next song starts.

• 11:54Ant McPartlin?

  It wasn't, it was clearly.

• 11:55Declan Donnelly?

  Equally as heavy, if not more heavy.

• 11:59Ant McPartlin?

  Every song got worse and worse and worse in its loudness and its thrashiness. It's like thrash metal.

• 12:05Declan Donnelly?

  So I was sitting there, foaming.

• 12:07Ant McPartlin?

  So, anyway, I was like, we've got to be taken off soon.

• 12:09Declan Donnelly?

  He was, he was more concerned about what time the flight was.

• 12:12Ant McPartlin?

  Well, as you should be when you're sat in a lounge.

• 12:15Declan Donnelly?

  He was like.

• 12:15Ant McPartlin?

  That's what you should be more concerned about.

• 12:17Declan Donnelly?

  Should be boarding soon.

• 12:18Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, anyway, so I was like, we should be boarding soon. And then the flight that was going 10 minutes after us was called to board before us. And I was like, something's weird, something's going on, um, I don't know what's going on here. And he gets up and he walks out, and he comes back. What was the crack about the flight? Our flight? I don't know. Where have you been? I said, did you go look at the screens? Nah. I went, where did you go about? I went out the front to speak to them on the desk going, oh brilliant. He went, not about the flight. He asked them to change the music.

• 12:55Declan Donnelly?

  I did.

• 12:56Ant McPartlin?

  He asked them to change the music and didn't ask one question about the flight, whether the flight was on time, what was going on with the flight that was going after us but left before us.

• 13:06Declan Donnelly?

  Complaining about the music. He never sounded like that's more.

• 13:11Ant McPartlin?

  Good point, actually. Good point. Okay, yeah, yeah.

• 13:14Declan Donnelly?

  I went out, there's two guys sat there. I said, excuse me, can I just have a chat about the music? Well, yeah, it's awful.

• 13:21Declan Donnelly?

  One of the guys went, oh, this American guy, oh, that's nothing to do with us.

• 13:27Ant McPartlin?

  Did he?

• 13:28Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, yeah. That's down to the Americans. That's the airport. He was American. So that's down to, I think he must have been American Airlines.

• 13:35Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, I see. Right.

• 13:37Declan Donnelly?

  I've got it changed. Don't you worry about that.

• 13:39Ant McPartlin?

  Little wins.

• 13:41Declan Donnelly?

  Tiny wins. And we took off on time.

• 13:44Ant McPartlin?

  We didn't actually, we were late.

• 13:45Declan Donnelly?

  We were late.

• 13:45Ant McPartlin?

  We were late. But you would know that.

• 13:49Ant McPartlin?

  Next one.

• 13:49Speaker 07

  Hi, Aunt and Dirk. This is Ayan. My question for you is, if you could go back to one time in history and had to live your life then, when would it be?

• 14:00Ant McPartlin?

  Ayan. Ayan. Great name, Ayan. Great question, Ayan. I've thought about this question a lot.

• 14:06Declan Donnelly?

  Have you?

• 14:07Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, a lot. And I would, can I give more than one?

• 14:13Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 14:13Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 14:14Declan Donnelly?

  You can give us a, you can give us a shortlist and then you can choose your preferred period.

• 14:19Ant McPartlin?

  1920s Paris. I think, why laughing?

• 14:24Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, well, it's for a very good reason, because that's when all of the great thinkers were there, all of the great artists were there. It was a really creative part of history, which I'd like to be around.

• 14:38Ant McPartlin?

  Victorian London, I just think it would be fascinating to live through that.

• 14:43Declan Donnelly?

  Get a little dose of the plague.

• 14:48Ant McPartlin?

  Victorian London.

• 14:49Declan Donnelly?

  Oh Victorian London, oh yeah.

• 14:54Ant McPartlin?

  Ancient Egypt. I think it would be great to live in that. Or even a little bit prior to that. Like when they wrecked in Gubekli Tepe was built in Turkey. You know, the oldest monument that we've discovered.

• 15:09Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 15:11Ant McPartlin?

  Because you're like. You discovered.

• 15:13Declan Donnelly?

  We discovered, yeah. It was when we were on tour.

• 15:18Ant McPartlin?

  No, Gubekli Tepe was, is a, is a, is a structure that was built, which they think it was to pay homage to some, some constellation. But then they buried it on purpose, right? And we're not sure why. And there's a lot of archaeology going on at the minute. And nobody thought a building that old existed. It outdated the pyramids. So I'd like to be there then to know what on earth was going on.

• 15:43Declan Donnelly?

  Why it was built.

• 15:44Ant McPartlin?

  What was going on.

• 15:44Declan Donnelly?

  And who built it.

• 15:45Ant McPartlin?

  And who covered it up? Yourself?

• 15:47Declan Donnelly?

  Me, um, uh, Newcastle in the 1970s. I was born in 75, so I'd like to know what's going on five years before I was born.

• 15:57Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, cool.

• 15:58Declan Donnelly?

  No, I would like.

• 15:59Ant McPartlin?

  Valid, valid.

• 16:00Declan Donnelly?

  I am intrigued by the swinging 60s in London. And around the time of the Beatles and that music scene. Yeah, that kind of black and white, or what the world was like in black and white.

• 16:13Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 16:14Declan Donnelly?

  Do you know what I mean?

• 16:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I do.

• 16:15Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, like.

• 16:16Ant McPartlin?

  England winning the World Cup, 1960s.

• 16:17Declan Donnelly?

  England winning the World Cup.

• 16:18Ant McPartlin?

  That'd be good.

• 16:18Declan Donnelly?

  The Beatles, that swinging 60s. And, um, yeah, the other one is like Dickensian London, that, that kind of,

• 16:29Declan Donnelly?

  you know, around the time of Scrooge and the, the, the London that Charles Dickens wrote about.

• 16:33Ant McPartlin?

  That'd be great. That'd be really.

• 16:35Declan Donnelly?

  Which I presume is like Victorian London.

• 16:37Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 16:38Declan Donnelly?

  That's the same kind of, yeah.

• 16:40Ant McPartlin?

  If you guys were in Oliver Twist, Oliver and Dodger. Oliver Twist, that's a good one. You could do Every Night in West End.

• 16:48Declan Donnelly?

  Go to, go to Dickensian London.

• 16:50Ant McPartlin?

  Artful Dodger.

• 16:52Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, we are tiny bit old for the roles now.

• 16:56Ant McPartlin?

  Make up.

• 16:57Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 16:57Ant McPartlin?

  Maybe it's the sequel. We could do Oliver Twist, the sequel.

• 17:01Declan Donnelly?

  Let's have another voice note.

• 17:03Speaker 04

  Hello, boys. It's Alan Shearer. Hope you're well. My question is, if you had a superpower, what would it be?

• 17:12Speaker 07

  P.S. Deck, you can't see to be five inches taller.

• 17:20Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, Al! Yes, Big Al!

• 17:22Declan Donnelly?

  Even though it's Alan Shearer, I still smash his face in.

• 17:25Ant McPartlin?

  Firstly, Alan Shearer has just left us a voice note.

• 17:32Declan Donnelly?

  Hands fainted and fell off his chair. That's amazing. Are you still there, Al?

• 17:37Ant McPartlin?

  Love, Big Al.

• 17:38Declan Donnelly?

  You still there? Uh, what a, that's, what a treat that is. What a bloody treat.

• 17:44Speaker 02

  I know, and he's busy at the moment.

• 17:46Ant McPartlin?

  He's very busy at the minute, yeah.

• 17:47Declan Donnelly?

  In the middle of the World Cup and everything. Good lad, Al.

• 17:50Ant McPartlin?

  Go on, go on, Al.

• 17:52Declan Donnelly?

  Shearer!

• 17:53Ant McPartlin?

  So you can't be five inches taller.

• 17:55Declan Donnelly?

  Can't be five inches taller. Can I be?

• 17:58Ant McPartlin?

  Five inches shorter?

• 18:00Ant McPartlin?

  Impossible.

• 18:03Declan Donnelly?

  What are you all laughing for?

• 18:04Ant McPartlin?

  You laughed so much you snorted then, didn't you, Sal? You snorted. Fatty has snorted on the podcast.

• 18:12Declan Donnelly?

  Um, I would be invisible.

• 18:15Speaker 02

  To be fair, you guys are famous, so...

• 18:18Ant McPartlin?

  That's not a superpower at all.

• 18:19Speaker 02

  No, but to be invisible is actually something you guys don't get to experience.

• 18:23Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 18:24Speaker 02

  Oh, the curse of fame.

• 18:25Ant McPartlin?

  Well, imagine you should have seen us in New York. Nobody knows how to do who we are in America. So we were pretty invisible there.

• 18:31Declan Donnelly?

  Um, and to be able to fly. Can I have one or choose one or the other?

• 18:35Ant McPartlin?

  No, only one. Only one.

• 18:37Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, I'll fly.

• 18:38Speaker 02

  Oh, where?

• 18:39Declan Donnelly?

  Everywhere. Here, back home. Flying everywhere. I'm not sitting in traffic anymore.

• 18:45Speaker 02

  And have you got wings or just webbed arms?

• 18:46Declan Donnelly?

  Just like Superman. I've got a cape.

• 18:48Speaker 02

  Oh, fine.

• 18:49Ant McPartlin?

  Have you got wings or just webbed arms? What do you mean webbed arms? Like a dragon?

• 18:55Declan Donnelly?

  Like a bat.

• 18:55Ant McPartlin?

  Like a bat?

• 18:56Speaker 02

  I was thinking, Al, you actually fly.

• 18:59Ant McPartlin?

  Why did you, why did you not think of Superman when you thought of flying? You're just a webbed creature.

• 19:07Declan Donnelly?

  Wings is fun though.

• 19:08Ant McPartlin?

  Wings is fun. Wings is fun, hard to dress. Yeah, it'll be very hard to dress. Same in the car. Yeah. I think fly as well. Definitely, yeah. Yeah. Because being super, if you're super strong, just trying to think of the other superhero.

• 19:22Declan Donnelly?

  X-ray vision.

• 19:22Ant McPartlin?

  Traits. Or like, what's it called from X-Men? Where you can.

• 19:26Declan Donnelly?

  Mind power, mind control.

• 19:27Ant McPartlin?

  Telepathy, that's good. Yeah, mind control's good.

• 19:30Declan Donnelly?

  Is that a superpower? Mind control?

• 19:32Ant McPartlin?

  Well, it can be.

• 19:33Declan Donnelly?

  What other superpowers are there?

• 19:34Ant McPartlin?

  Posing time. That's a good one. That's a good one, pausing time.

• 19:39Declan Donnelly?

  Wow, Alan Shearer.

• 19:40Ant McPartlin?

  Good question, Al. Good question. There was a lot of debate. What would yours be, by the way, Alan?

• 19:45Declan Donnelly?

  It's just Alan Shearer. Super Al.

• 19:47Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I suppose.

• 19:48Declan Donnelly?

  Super Alan Shearer.

• 19:50Ant McPartlin?

  Come on.

• 19:52Declan Donnelly?

  Who's on line four?

• 19:53Speaker 02

  Hey, Ant and Dec. Jessica here. I've just started a new job and wanted to know how do you make friends in a new place? Do you guys struggle with stuff like that? Or do you have any tips on how to get them on your side?

• 20:06Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, Jessica.

• 20:06Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, Jessica. You're struggling for service wherever you are.

• 20:10Declan Donnelly?

  She's walking the dog. I'm walking the dog.

• 20:13Ant McPartlin?

  It's like she's walking the dog. It's like, "Hey, Ant and Dec, just walking the dog. Just thought I'd leave you a postcard, because it's here, Georgia."

• 20:22Declan Donnelly?

  Find things that you have in common. Like, a really easy win for most blokes is talk about football.

• 20:29Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 20:30Declan Donnelly?

  That is the icebreaker. And then you get to know, um, other people and what they like and interest. So. So I think that, do you talk about something that you may have in common?

• 20:41Ant McPartlin?

  What's an easy win for women? Men? Men. Men, how much they're pigs they are. Aren't men pigs? Just say that.

• 20:53Declan Donnelly?

  You could always talk about, um, "Oh my God, have you heard the, um, Ant and Dec podcast?"

• 20:58Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's a good one. That's a really good way of doing a bit of guerrilla marketing on the side. Whoever you meet from now on, if it's a new person, the first thing you've got to say to them isn't about football or whether men are pigs. It has to be whether you've listened to Hugging Out on Ant and Dec. Okay? Agrees? And she can say, "Have you heard me on the Ant and Dec podcast?" Yes, she can. That's a really good icebreaker.

• 21:19Declan Donnelly?

  Did you hear me? How many bananas would you give me for my question?

• 21:24Declan Donnelly?

  No, you should ask for a rating. Is that too early to ask for a rating? Okay.

• 21:28Ant McPartlin?

  Should we have like a signal?

• 21:30Speaker 07

  That, you know, you say.

• 21:32Ant McPartlin?

  Like a handshake.

• 21:33Speaker 07

  Or like you'd say, respect guys.

• 21:35Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yes.

• 21:36Speaker 07

  In a certain way, like when you shout it across the street.

• 21:39Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 21:40Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 21:41Speaker 07

  What could it be?

• 21:42Declan Donnelly?

  Adam and Joe used to do this on their podcast.

• 21:43Speaker 07

  Yeah. What was it?

• 21:45Declan Donnelly?

  Steven. They used to shout Steven and then, and then you reply by saying, just coming.

• 21:51Speaker 07

  Oh, we should do that.

• 21:53Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 21:54Ant McPartlin?

  Not that.

• 21:54Declan Donnelly?

  Not that, because that's theirs.

• 21:57Ant McPartlin?

  So why don't we say, respect guys, eat bananas. So, respect guys.

• 22:02Declan Donnelly?

  Eat bananas.

• 22:04Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, should we try that?

• 22:05Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 22:05Ant McPartlin?

  Like, if you go in the theatre, you know, when you kind of shuffle your way into the theatre? And everyone's kind of going through the, when you're going to see one of your many musicals.

• 22:12Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 22:12Ant McPartlin?

  Just go, respect guys.

• 22:14Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, no, you could do, you know, if you're late and you've, you're coming in with your Maltesers and you drink. You just go, oh, and you're in the, in the, getting into the, to the, uh, what's that called?

• 22:22Speaker 07

  Seat.

• 22:23Ant McPartlin?

  Seat.

• 22:23Declan Donnelly?

  That's it.

• 22:23Ant McPartlin?

  Isle, aisle, seat.

• 22:25Declan Donnelly?

  Row.

• 22:25Ant McPartlin?

  Row.

• 22:26Declan Donnelly?

  When you're getting into your row.

• 22:27Ant McPartlin?

  Isle would have worked.

• 22:27Declan Donnelly?

  Instead of going, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. You just go, oh, sorry, respect guys, respect guys, respect guys.

• 22:34Ant McPartlin?

  Eat bananas.

• 22:34Declan Donnelly?

  And somebody go, eat bananas. Go, oh my gosh.

• 22:37Ant McPartlin?

  A fellow listener.

• 22:38Declan Donnelly?

  You're one of them.

• 22:40Ant McPartlin?

  This next bit is an advert for Gemini, Google's AI app.

• 22:44Declan Donnelly?

  I'm very much enjoying this, um, festival of football we're having this summer.

• 22:50Ant McPartlin?

  Same, same.

• 22:50Declan Donnelly?

  But I thought, what I want to try and do is, um, have food from around the world.

• 22:56Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, God, and you're cooking.

• 22:59Declan Donnelly?

  And I'm, well, I'm going to try and cook.

• 23:00Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 23:00Declan Donnelly?

  So I thought I could use Gemini to help me out to.

• 23:04Ant McPartlin?

  That, okay.

• 23:05Declan Donnelly?

  To make.

• 23:05Ant McPartlin?

  All right.

• 23:06Declan Donnelly?

  A Mexican banquet.

• 23:07Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 23:08Declan Donnelly?

  Can't be that difficult.

• 23:09Ant McPartlin?

  Hmm, it can.

• 23:11Declan Donnelly?

  Well, let's find out. Gemini, I would like to cook my family, uh, a Mexican banquet. Uh, vegetarian options would be good and I've only got, uh, an hour to prepare it.

• 23:26Declan Donnelly?

  Here we go.

• 23:26Ant McPartlin?

  Right, go on.

• 23:27Declan Donnelly?

  Gemini says, "An hour is a tight window for a full banquet, but you can absolutely pull off an epic stadium-ready Mexican spread if we lean heavily into a build-your-own taco and nacho bar."

• 23:38Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god, that sounds good.

• 23:39Declan Donnelly?

  What a great idea.

• 23:40Ant McPartlin?

  Build your own taco and nacho bar? Can I come?

• 23:44Declan Donnelly?

  Yes. That means I have to extend what I'm eating.

• 23:48Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, go on.

• 23:49Declan Donnelly?

  Gemini, I am now inviting a friend, actually, who is lactose-free. Hit me! Easily done, says Gemini. A Mexican buffet is actually one of the friendliest setups for dietary restrictions because everything stays separated until it hits the plate.

• 24:05Ant McPartlin?

  Great.

• 24:06Declan Donnelly?

  Amazing.

• 24:07Ant McPartlin?

  Can Milo come?

• 24:08Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 24:09Ant McPartlin?

  Can I bring Milo? It sounds good. Well, get the kids together, get the wives together, they can all chat, they can play, we can watch the football. Don't make it too spicy for the kids, though.

• 24:17Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, are you kidding me?

• 24:19Ant McPartlin?

  Say not too spicy.

• 24:21Declan Donnelly?

  Gemini, we've got kids attending. What's the fastest emergency trick to cool down, to despice my food? To cool it down, please.

• 24:32Ant McPartlin?

  I bet it's yogurt or cream.

• 24:33Declan Donnelly?

  Gemini says, "Quick fixes."

• 24:35Ant McPartlin?

  Yogurt.

• 24:36Declan Donnelly?

  Squeeze in some lime juice, juice, or a splash of vinegar.

• 24:39Ant McPartlin?

  And cream?

• 24:40Declan Donnelly?

  And...

• 24:41Ant McPartlin?

  Sour cream?

• 24:42Declan Donnelly?

  Here we go.

• 24:42Ant McPartlin?

  Cream.

• 24:43Declan Donnelly?

  Dilute it. Toss it in a can of drained sweet corn or kidney beans. Note.

• 24:48Ant McPartlin?

  Do not add cream.

• 24:48Declan Donnelly?

  Avoid using sour cream or butter to cool down the food.

• 24:51Ant McPartlin?

  No way. Shut up, it doesn't say that.

• 24:53Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, because the dishes will not stay completely safe for your lactose-free friend. Aha! You've shot yourself in the foot!

• 25:02Declan Donnelly?

  With Gemini, you can chat live with a truly helpful AI assistant. You jump in, get some cooking tips, ask for more details, or even show what you're talking about by sharing your screen or camera as well. It's there for a real chat, not just a quick question and then you're done.

• 25:29Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, I'm going again.

• 25:31Speaker 03

  Hi, ant and deck. Jack from Brighton here. I'd really love to know who you think would win in a fight? One horse-sized deck or 100 duck-sized ants? Thanks.

• 25:45Ant McPartlin?

  Very, very good question, Jack from Brighton.

• 25:48Declan Donnelly?

  It's a very Brighton question, that.

• 25:49Ant McPartlin?

  It is. They love fights between animals.

• 25:53Declan Donnelly?

  One horse-sized deck, I think, I think the volume of a hundred.

• 25:57Ant McPartlin?

  A hundred duck-sized ants, that's a lot.

• 25:59Declan Donnelly?

  I think the hundred ducks, because they could just confuse and ambush and...

• 26:05Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, they could. Fly inside you.

• 26:07Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 26:08Ant McPartlin?

  Nip at your ankles and then run over the top of you.

• 26:11Declan Donnelly?

  They'd have to be well choreographed. They'd have to, they'd have to...

• 26:14Ant McPartlin?

  I don't like choreography.

• 26:16Declan Donnelly?

  Well, now, they'd have to be...

• 26:17Ant McPartlin?

  I don't like dancing.

• 26:18Declan Donnelly?

  It would have to be well planned. You couldn't just go in chaotically.

• 26:22Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 26:23Declan Donnelly?

  There would have to be a theory.

• 26:25Ant McPartlin?

  Chaos rules.

• 26:26Declan Donnelly?

  No, no, no, no.

• 26:26Ant McPartlin?

  No, you don't need a theory. You just need to go, "Ah, I'm from everywhere." Because if I don't know what I'm doing, how are you going to know what I'm doing?

• 26:32Declan Donnelly?

  Well, the horse-sized deck would just trample all over you.

• 26:34Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you'd trample over a few of them, not all of them.

• 26:36Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm. There would be a lot of casualties. There would be a lot of duck-sized casualties.

• 26:42Ant McPartlin?

  Cool. Okay. So, say, forty percent of the ants died.

• 26:45Declan Donnelly?

  Seventy, I would say.

• 26:46Ant McPartlin?

  That's still, well, that's still thirty. That's still thirty percent.

• 26:50Declan Donnelly?

  But what kind of life are they going to lead?

• 26:52Ant McPartlin?

  No, no, they're attacking you. That's the life they're leading. They're finishing you off. Like, you're gone. You're on the ground and these thirty are just running up and down your horse-shaped body.

• 27:03Declan Donnelly?

  I think...

• 27:03Ant McPartlin?

  All over eyes at you.

• 27:04Declan Donnelly?

  I think they think I've gone, but they're still...

• 27:07Ant McPartlin?

  No, you're gone.

• 27:08Declan Donnelly?

  I know.

• 27:08Ant McPartlin?

  No, you've gone, you've gone, you've gone.

• 27:10Declan Donnelly?

  I think I'd get a second wind towards the end and finish the others off.

• 27:13Ant McPartlin?

  Not when we've gouged out your eyes and, like, eaten your penis and stuff. I'm just thinking of, you know, vulnerable places to go. Eyes, penis.

• 27:22Speaker 07

  Mane?

• 27:23Ant McPartlin?

  Mane. Pull your mane, pull right on your mane, your eyelashes.

• 27:26Declan Donnelly?

  How much is the size of a horse?

• 27:27Speaker 07

  Deck's got a mane.

• 27:28Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you see, oh, so, oh, he's not the shape of a horse. In my mind, it was like, I always picture a deck like a horse. Oh, it's just one horse-sized deck. Oh, easy, one ant will do that.

• 27:40Declan Donnelly?

  One duck-sized ant will take on me as a horse?

• 27:42Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, no, not one duck-sized ant, no. No, no, no.

• 27:45Declan Donnelly?

  That's what I mean. You've, you've...

• 27:47Ant McPartlin?

  No, but there's a hundred then.

• 27:48Declan Donnelly?

  And that's why you've been taken by surprise, because you've underestimated me.

• 27:52Ant McPartlin?

  No, because there's a hundred. I haven't underestimated you.

• 27:54Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, you have.

• 27:56Ant McPartlin?

  I haven't.

• 27:56Declan Donnelly?

  You have. You have. And you always do. Do you have another one? Who's on line twelve?

• 28:05Speaker 01

  Hi, Anne and Deck. This is Sophie.

• 28:08Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, Sophie.

• 28:08Speaker 01

  My question is, what is one person is or was the biggest...

• 28:12Speaker 07

  Influence on you and your work. Thank you.

• 28:16Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you, Sophie.

• 28:16Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you, Sophie. Oh, that's a very good question. There's been lots of different people though, over the course of our career, because we've had quite a long career, thankfully. Um, so very, very early doors, I would say. Double acts like Morkman Wise, Karen Ball.

• 28:37Declan Donnelly?

  The Two Ronnies.

• 28:37Ant McPartlin?

  The Two Ronnies, uh, Vic and Bob, um, were big influences on us. Well, we definitely just loved watching them. We'd laugh a lot at them and we'd quote, quote the TV shows to one another when we'd see each other at work. Um, so they were a real influence. And then as we kind of got into TV presenting, people like Chris Evans and Noel, Noel Edmonds, um, really good live broadcasters, I think were, were big influencers.

• 29:09Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, yeah.

• 29:09Ant McPartlin?

  Anyone else?

• 29:10Declan Donnelly?

  No, I don't think so. Uh, we watched a lot of those double acts growing up and a lot of, we watched loads of comedy.

• 29:17Ant McPartlin?

  Um, we did.

• 29:18Declan Donnelly?

  Um, uh, things like The Young Ones was a huge show when we were much younger. And that was really anarchic and really chaotic, um, compared to Morkman Wise and The Two Ronnies. So that kind of humour was very different, but still very, um, very funny. And also kind of opposite ends of the spectrum. One was very family orientated. One was very much mainstream and one was a bit more contemporary and different. So we were influenced from both sides of the spectrum. Um, but yeah, I think that's, I think that's a pretty comprehensive answer, Anne. Well done.

• 29:55Ant McPartlin?

  Hmm, thanks for that, Packer, yeah.

• 29:57Declan Donnelly?

  That's very, very good.

• 29:58Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you, Sophie. Good question.

• 30:00Declan Donnelly?

  Great, great question.

• 30:01Speaker 07

  Friends or family?

• 30:02Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 30:02Ant McPartlin?

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

• 30:04Declan Donnelly?

  Definitely not.

• 30:05Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 30:06Declan Donnelly?

  Last one. Who's on line 22? Hi, Anne Tendek. This is Hallie here. I have a question for you, babe. If the world went into lockdown tomorrow, what one luxury item would he stuck upon? Toilet rolls. Everybody does, doesn't they? You wanna get in there before they all go.

• 30:24Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you do. You made a very good point.

• 30:26Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know why, when things go into lockdown, why does everybody go for toilet rolls? Why, why is that?

• 30:31Speaker 07

  Oh, I've got a question.

• 30:34Ant McPartlin?

  You didn't re-answer his question.

• 30:37Speaker 07

  Uh, this might be a bit intimate, but you know when you wipe your bum?

• 30:41Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 30:42Speaker 07

  Do you fold the paper or do you scrunch it?

• 30:45Ant McPartlin?

  I'll fold it. I'm a folder.

• 30:47Speaker 07

  How many sheets? I would fold, but I've recently heard that some people scrunch.

• 30:52Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I don't, I don't get that.

• 30:54Speaker 07

  Are you a folder as well?

• 30:55Declan Donnelly?

  I'm a folder.

• 30:55Speaker 07

  Oh, good, good.

• 30:56Declan Donnelly?

  Two, two sheets. Get two sheets. Pull them apart. Kind of overlap them a bit.

• 31:04Ant McPartlin?

  What? What? Why are you overlapping them? Why are you pulling them apart?

• 31:11Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 31:11Declan Donnelly?

  Don't know. So you've got, you've got.

• 31:15Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 31:16Declan Donnelly?

  So you've got, you've got even extra, um, support, extra, you're extra covered, just in case the finger goes through.

• 31:22Ant McPartlin?

  Just get, just get another sheet. Just triple it then. Just get three sheets and do that. Fold it over.

• 31:31Declan Donnelly?

  And then it's a bit small.

• 31:33Ant McPartlin?

  But why are you pulling it apart?

• 31:34Declan Donnelly?

  Cause you pull it apart and then.

• 31:35Ant McPartlin?

  No, but why? No, no, no, but just get, just, just fold it like that.

• 31:39Declan Donnelly?

  There's something to do, isn't there?

• 31:42Ant McPartlin?

  But you're sh** what else you need to do? How can you do all of that and watch TikTok at the same time?

• 31:51Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, God.

• 31:52Declan Donnelly?

  How do you do it?

• 31:54Ant McPartlin?

  I, I just get it, fold it over and that's it.

• 31:57Declan Donnelly?

  Two sheets? More than that?

• 32:00Declan Donnelly?

  Do you got a lap? Round your hand.

• 32:02Ant McPartlin?

  No, I don't. Ah, that, that, around your hand. Nah. Nah.

• 32:11Declan Donnelly?

  And you do the cross side.

• 32:14Declan Donnelly?

  Have a double go at it.

• 32:16Ant McPartlin?

  Now, you always go up, not down, right?

• 32:18Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yeah, up, always up.

• 32:19Ant McPartlin?

  Just check in, just check in, for a friend.

• 32:21Declan Donnelly?

  So, toilet rolls.

• 32:23Ant McPartlin?

  And ingredients for vanilla bread.

• 32:27Declan Donnelly?

  You've got to make that in lockdown.

• 32:28Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you do.

• 32:28Declan Donnelly?

  That's the, uh, that's the law.

• 32:31Ant McPartlin?

  God, imagine asking that question prior to 2019 would have been deemed crazy.

• 32:37Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm.

• 32:38Ant McPartlin?

  2020 would have been deemed crazy, wouldn't it?

• 32:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 32:40Ant McPartlin?

  You ever went into lockdown, like, shut up, what a stupid hypothetical question. Now you're like, oh, yeah, if we go into lockdown again.

• 32:46Declan Donnelly?

  That could happen.

• 32:47Ant McPartlin?

  Isn't it mad that we all lived through that? Isn't it, though? We literally.

• 32:50Speaker 01

  The part history.

• 32:51Ant McPartlin?

  We couldn't go outside.

• 32:53Speaker 01

  It was like 10, what was the walk time?

• 32:55Declan Donnelly?

  One hour, one, you, you, an hour exercise a day.

• 32:57Ant McPartlin?

  10 minutes a day, that's just lazy. That is lazy. I, I can imagine how long I said that to my friends, we can only walk 10 minutes a day, guys. I saw Boris Johnson said it on the news, it was only 10 minutes. I know, I think it's unfair as well, but we'd best get home. So I'll go back, go back on Instagram and be so fat.

• 33:18Declan Donnelly?

  But I guess what, toilet roll, dried pasta, what are the other things you stock up on?

• 33:21Ant McPartlin?

  Cake stuff. And we couldn't get flour for ages, weren't we?

• 33:24Declan Donnelly?

  Could we not?

• 33:25Ant McPartlin?

  Flour was one of the things that we ran out of very early doors.

• 33:28Declan Donnelly?

  Well, thank you for all of your voice notes. They were brilliant, keep them coming in, hanging out at butlerbox.com. We'll do another one of these very soon. Some weird old questions there.

• 33:37Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, really weird, but I like them. I like them a lot. The weirder the better.

• 33:41Declan Donnelly?

  We'll be back on Thursday with another ep of the main pod. Uh, until then.

• 33:46Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you, Alan Shearer.

• 33:48Declan Donnelly?

  Respect, guys.

• 33:49Ant McPartlin?

  Respect, guys.

• 33:50Declan Donnelly?

  See you later.

• 33:50Ant McPartlin?

  Bye bye.

• 33:53Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that's a nasty cough.

• 33:54Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 33:55Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, no. Oh, gosh, she's got something, we're going into lockdown.

  Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon Fall Drop, because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's Fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces, so I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece, and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.

• 34:42Speaker 02

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 34:43Speaker 03

  King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Swirl Bite?

• 34:45Speaker 02

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

• 34:51Speaker 04

  Hey, let's get back to work, please.

• 34:52Speaker 02

  But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites.

• 34:57Speaker 04

  Taylor Hansen? Nice.

• 34:59Speaker 03

  Try one.

• 35:00Speaker 04

  Mmm.

• 35:04Speaker 04

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

• 35:12Speaker 04

  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' health care 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, theHouseMajorityPac.com.
