1:34 Declan Donnelly? Welcome, because we're on the air. Hello, everybody.
1:37 Ant McPartlin? Hi, guys.
1:38 Declan Donnelly? Welcome back to the hangout for another hanging out with him and me. This is, as you can see, the Discussion Jar. The Discussion Jar has made a return. Got lots of topics in there that you have sent in. We'd be very interested to delve into that in a bit. Got a question for you, though.
1:53 Ant McPartlin? Yes, come on.
1:55 Declan Donnelly? You finished all your Easter eggs yet?
1:57 Ant McPartlin? Well, yes.
1:59 Declan Donnelly? I finished mine this weekend.
2:00 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I kept one. Every night I'm a Celebrity South African was on.
2:03 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
2:03 Ant McPartlin? I had one, because my kids get loads of Easter eggs and they never eat them.
2:07 Declan Donnelly? Ah.
2:08 Ant McPartlin? They don't really eat them. So I'm like, I'll have them. Normally I'll melt them down and make a chocolate covered convoluted cake.
2:12 Declan Donnelly? Mm hmm.
2:13 Ant McPartlin? But I didn't do that this year. I just watched I'm a Celebrity South African. I watched myself on telly eating an Easter egg every night.
2:20 Declan Donnelly? Out the fridge?
2:21 Ant McPartlin? See, see, out the fridge. Yourself?
2:25 Declan Donnelly? Finished them this weekend?
2:26 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
2:26 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
2:27 Ant McPartlin? What do you go for? Cadbury's?
2:28 Declan Donnelly? See, see, finished with a little Fredo this weekend?
2:33 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, good one. Nice little ones.
2:34 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
2:35 Ant McPartlin? Where do you draw the line?
2:36 Declan Donnelly? What do you mean?
2:37 Ant McPartlin? So I'll start with Cadbury's, then obviously, you know, I love Galaxy, that's second, right? But then I also go like, you know, Kate Katz and Brown Trees, Mars.
2:48 Declan Donnelly? Oh, yeah.
2:49 Ant McPartlin? I'll go there. Anything after that, it's enough for me.
2:52 Declan Donnelly? A Thornton's?
2:53 Ant McPartlin? Nope.
2:54 Declan Donnelly? Why? Too fancy?
2:55 Ant McPartlin? No, it's not. It's not too fancy.
2:56 Declan Donnelly? Hotel Chocolat?
2:57 Ant McPartlin? Absolutely not.
2:58 Declan Donnelly? Why not?
2:59 Ant McPartlin? No way.
2:59 Declan Donnelly? Too posh?
3:00 Ant McPartlin? Too posh. I don't want posh chocolate. I want just your normal, an egg that you can get from a supermarket. That's all I want. None of your posh stuff.
3:08 Declan Donnelly? Man of the people.
3:09 Ant McPartlin? Man of the people, yeah, exactly. I like working class chocolate.
3:13 Declan Donnelly? Successful as guy is.
3:14 Ant McPartlin? Working class chocolate. Is that a thing? Make a hashtag. Shall we tell them to the discussion jar? If you haven't seen a discussion jar episode yet.
3:23 Declan Donnelly? Where have you been?
3:24 Ant McPartlin? Basically, we flip it open and get a topic out and discuss it. That's it. They've been sent in by you lot. I'll pop it open and let's get started. It'll all become apparent if you don't understand what's going on. Okay. Whew, we're straight in with a hefty one, aren't we?
3:42 Declan Donnelly? Straight in with a zinger?
3:43 Ant McPartlin? Have you heard that Noah's Ark might have been discovered? Yes, I have heard this.
3:48 Declan Donnelly? I have heard this.
3:49 Ant McPartlin? Ancient rocks on Mount Arat, Turkey, first discovered in 1959, were thought to be Noah's Ark. I've heard this, been around for a while, that there's images of what looks like the remnants of an ark on the top of the mountain, Mount Arat. But recent investigations using a ground penetrating radar by Andrew Jones has uncovered corridors below the earth and infer their weight to the idea that this could be Noah's Ark. Discuss.
4:18 Declan Donnelly? Well. Also in the Bible, this this area is where they said that the ark was left when the floods subsided.
4:27 Ant McPartlin? I'm a great believer in this. I have seen this and I know that there's lots of lidar and radar being used on loads of stuff at the minute. Like the the great pyramids and the rainforests down the Amazon and they're finding lots of extraordinary things where ancient civilizations. We're back to that again.
4:46 Declan Donnelly? Back to them, guys.
4:47 Ant McPartlin? May have lived.
4:48 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, the latest is they've been using radars, I think. And they've seen that below the ground and inside of the area, inside of the outline, there is like corridors and rooms. Where the animals and the families would have gone.
5:04 Declan Donnelly? Possibly.
5:05 Ant McPartlin? It's great. I love it.
5:06 Declan Donnelly? Have you heard the theory? I mean, I don't know if I should discuss this because it's just it's not come out of the discussion jar. It's a sidewinder.
5:14 Ant McPartlin? Go on.
5:14 Declan Donnelly? That August the 12th this year.
5:17 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
5:17 Declan Donnelly? Seven thirty AM, there will be a solar eclipse.
5:21 Ant McPartlin? Oh, good.
5:21 Declan Donnelly? But at seven thirty in the morning.
5:23 Ant McPartlin? Talk to me again.
5:25 Declan Donnelly? At seven thirty, it's because it's my fact. At seven thirty in the morning, we are going to lose gravity for seven seconds.
5:32 Ant McPartlin? How can we lose gravity? Because gravity, the greater the gravity is the bigger the mass of the object, the greater the gravity, yes? Correct? Are we all agreed on that?
5:40 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
5:41 Ant McPartlin? That's what we're all taught in school. So how do we suddenly lose the mass of the earth for seven seconds?
5:49 Declan Donnelly? I don't know the ins and outs. Can you Google Project Anchor? It's NASA are involved in this.
5:54 Ant McPartlin? Of course it is NASA.
5:56 Declan Donnelly? What's how's it gonna how's it? How does it work?
5:58 Speaker 07 There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that the earth is going to lose gravity on the 12th of August. Nor is there any public record that NASA is working on something called Project Anchor. This is an example of disinformation that has been spread across social media in an attempt to put fake news out there. It may be that someone wanted to discredit NASA by publishing incorrect stories about them. Boasts by those who believed the stories and shared it themselves are an example of misinformation, spreading fake news by mistake.
6:27 Ant McPartlin? So basically you are fake news. Declan Donnelly is fake news. He doesn't exist.
6:33 Declan Donnelly? Oh, well, it reels me in.
6:35 Ant McPartlin? See, that's how easy. That's how easy we're fooled these days. It's true though. Because I was gonna say something else. There is, I'm sure there's evidence that people have found in the Grand Canyon that resembles like Egyptian artefacts in the Grand Canyon. But since then, you're not allowed to go down. There's loads of caves under there and stuff. There's loads of things that look like what you would find in Egypt, but in North America. But since then, the Smithsonian Museum has like bought it all and hid it all.
7:07 Declan Donnelly? Why would you do that?
7:08 Ant McPartlin? Ah, because they don't want to tell us the real truth, Declan. That's why.
7:10 Declan Donnelly? The truth is out there, but it's been hidden from our eyes.
7:14 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, back fake news.
7:16 Declan Donnelly? Hmm, just wait till we lose gravity and everything comes out from the museum.
7:22 Declan Donnelly? They can't, they can't stop it when we lose gravity. Hold on to your hats, folks.
7:27 Ant McPartlin? Somebody's sneaking, no, somebody's sneaking, open the windows and then everything will fly out for seven seconds. Grab it.
7:32 Declan Donnelly? Ian asks.
7:33 Ant McPartlin? Hi Ian.
7:34 Declan Donnelly? What's your thoughts on whether Elvis or Michael Jackson are alive or dead? Discuss.
7:39 Ant McPartlin? Well, discuss this.
7:40 Speaker 07 I think we have to throw it away.
7:42 Ant McPartlin? Throw it away.
7:42 Declan Donnelly? Sorry, Ian, go back and listen to the other.
7:44 Ant McPartlin? Ian, I do apologize because I think Dec had that last time and he must have put it back in the jar.
7:48 Declan Donnelly? Sorry.
7:49 Ant McPartlin? When what you're meant to do is either put it through the basket or put it on the desk.
7:53 Declan Donnelly? Deanda Hewitt asks, what do you think déjà vu is? I like to think it's your brain catching up with the alternate timeline version of you and your life, and it's letting you know that you're on the right path. What do you think?
8:10 Ant McPartlin? Well, I don't get as much déjà vu as I used to as when I was a kid.
8:15 Declan Donnelly? Hmm, that's an interesting theory, yeah.
8:18 Ant McPartlin? I felt like I've got déjà vu all the time.
8:20 Declan Donnelly? Eee, I've just had déjà vu.
8:21 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
8:21 Declan Donnelly? I used to do that a lot.
8:22 Ant McPartlin? Did you?
8:22 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
8:23 Ant McPartlin? You have it less as you get older. So it's something to do with being born into this new body, this new life, this new timeline, I think.
8:31 Declan Donnelly? Because there's a theory.
8:31 Ant McPartlin? What about yourself?
8:32 Declan Donnelly? Well, there's a theory, isn't there, that time is a, a, a man-made thing.
8:36 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
8:37 Declan Donnelly? And that actually, everything has happened all at the same time.
8:40 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
8:41 Declan Donnelly? And déjà vu is you seeing bits of things that have already happened.
8:48 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
8:49 Declan Donnelly? That. I don't believe that. I don't believe in that. I don't believe that.
8:54 Ant McPartlin? No, but if you think of, if time is a manmade construct, right? So forget that we've ever had a clock, that we've ever had a calendar.
9:01 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
9:01 Ant McPartlin? That you just wake up when the sun rises and you go to sleep when the sun sets. Forever and ever and ever. It just keeps happening. And the younger you are, the less defined you are by time.
9:11 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
9:12 Ant McPartlin? And the more open your mind is. So you would be open to the possibility of seeing your other timelines. Wouldn't you? Because you're, by, by your sheer innocence of being youthful, you are more open minded. So that's probably why it happens to you more as a kid. So I do believe in it. I do believe that there's lots of different timelines happening all at once.
9:34 Declan Donnelly? Do you think the older we get, the more we've been conditioned?
9:37 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
9:37 Declan Donnelly? To fit into society?
9:40 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. I think the older you get, the more we just agree. And whether you verbally agree or you just agree by the fact, sheer fact that you just do. You go to work, you get paid money, you rent a house or you get a mortgage. Pay your taxes. You do all of these agreements that happen throughout your life. And everybody else does them. So you do them and you go along and then we die. But if you take all of that away, imagine how freeing that would be for your mind. And how open you would be to.
10:10 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
10:11 Ant McPartlin? Everything.
10:12 Declan Donnelly? It's got deep real quick.
10:14 Ant McPartlin? It has, isn't it? I like it. This is a good discussion, Jar this week.
10:17 Declan Donnelly? Another one?
10:18 Ant McPartlin? Yes, please. Is it me?
10:19 Declan Donnelly? I think it's you.
10:21 Ant McPartlin? Oh, oh my God. I deja vu. I'm gonna drop this discussion, Jar. Bye.
10:29 Ant McPartlin? In my glasses.
10:32 Ant McPartlin? Caballeros.
10:34 Declan Donnelly? See if they've worked for you.
10:35 Ant McPartlin? See. Oh my God, that's so much better. Abby asks, Tony and Dec, right? Do you know what?
10:42 Declan Donnelly? Oh, you shouldn't have put your glasses on for that.
10:43 Ant McPartlin? Do you know what? That? Tony, whoa, once you wear them, you can't not wear them.
10:48 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I know.
10:49 Ant McPartlin? Tony.
10:51 Declan Donnelly? Put them on.
10:51 Ant McPartlin? My head's a bit bigger than yours. What's your opinion on Bigfoot? We talked about this, didn't we? Oh my God, it's deja vu.
10:59 Declan Donnelly? Has anybody taken anything out of this?
11:02 Ant McPartlin? Last year, my hyperfix station was watching Bigfoot evidence videos and listening to Bigfoot podcasts. Yeah, we talked about this.
11:07 Declan Donnelly? Hey, I've just had deja vu.
11:09 Ant McPartlin? Ah, here you go. Thanks.
11:10 Declan Donnelly? You gotta do another one.
11:11 Ant McPartlin? Oh, yeah.
11:13 Declan Donnelly? What's that? What? Pink thing?
11:16 Ant McPartlin? Ah, there's an item in there. Is this to be discussed? Yeah. Do you know what this is?
11:21 Declan Donnelly? Is it for eyelashes?
11:22 Ant McPartlin? Yes, it is for eyelashes. It's that, well, is that, is that, that's a, it's a discussion jar, and this is in there, so we have to discuss this.
11:30 Declan Donnelly? I've never understood.
11:32 Ant McPartlin? It's to curl your eyelashes.
11:33 Declan Donnelly? Why, why do you want them curled?
11:35 Ant McPartlin? Because it looks prettier.
11:36 Declan Donnelly? Is that what it is?
11:37 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, isn't it? And you can put mascara on them better. I live in a house full of three girls, so I know these things. I reckon I've got quite long eyelashes for a boy, don't you? You could curl my eyelashes. Don't pull them off.
11:49 Declan Donnelly? How do you do it?
11:50 Ant McPartlin? You just put the eyelashes in there. Do you? I don't know. If, out of everything we've done on the podcast, if this is the one thing that gets clipped off and goes viral, I'm gonna be furious.
12:01 Declan Donnelly? I don't know, I don't know how I'm doing it.
12:02 Ant McPartlin? Put my eyelashes in. Is he doing it right? Why, why are you squirming like that?
12:07 Declan Donnelly? Because I need to get a good look.
12:12 Ant McPartlin? Jeez. Because you can't, you're closer.
12:14 Declan Donnelly? Well, I have to get in, don't I?
12:16 Ant McPartlin? Get what? Don't think like that.
12:23 Ant McPartlin? Why are you breathing so heavily? Jesus, I don't trust you.
12:27 Declan Donnelly? What do you mean?
12:27 Ant McPartlin? Right, right, I'm gonna go like that. Is it like that or that? Watch me eyelid, watch me eyelid. Don't get me eyelid. Don't even get me eyelid.
12:34 Declan Donnelly? Is it in?
12:37 Ant McPartlin? Oh, God. Oh, my God, right, that's cool. Is it curled? Does it look good?
12:42 Declan Donnelly? Does it curl?
12:43 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. Yeah.
12:46 Declan Donnelly? Did I do it right?
12:46 Ant McPartlin? Did you?
12:47 Declan Donnelly? Are we getting it quite curly?
12:49 Ant McPartlin? I'd never let you do me makeup. You're very menacing. Thank God Claude, I'll make him understand, don't be like that.
12:55 Declan Donnelly? Oh, that's quite, you have to have a steady hand for that, don't you?
12:58 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, you do, don't.
12:59 Declan Donnelly? And you people do it on themselves?
13:00 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
13:02 Declan Donnelly? I don't know how.
13:03 Ant McPartlin? Sure, I could do me own.
13:04 Declan Donnelly? That's quite a far away.
13:05 Ant McPartlin? Was it?
13:06 Declan Donnelly? Gonna get right in there, don't you? Stick it straight in.
13:09 Ant McPartlin? Is it in there now? Oh, yeah, it's pulling.
13:14 Ant McPartlin? There you go.
13:15 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, nice.
13:15 Ant McPartlin? I can't believe that was mine.
13:20 Declan Donnelly? The 2012 end of the world actually happened theory.
13:24 Ant McPartlin? This is a massive wind-up on us. Get rid.
13:30 Declan Donnelly? We've done all these.
13:34 Declan Donnelly? Right. How do you use emojis?
13:41 Declan Donnelly? Do they show your age?
13:43 Ant McPartlin? How do I use them?
13:44 Declan Donnelly? How do you use emojis?
13:45 Ant McPartlin? I do the typical dad one all the time. Thumbs, thumbs, thumbs, thumbs. Just to wind up the girls. So they're like, oh, it's typical dad thing to put that aside. Yeah, I'm gonna do it more.
13:54 Declan Donnelly? My most, you know, you've got your most used emojis at the beginning of your.
13:56 Ant McPartlin? Right, what's your top left?
13:58 Declan Donnelly? Cry and laughing face. What's yours?
14:01 Ant McPartlin? Angry face with swear words on the mouth, look.
14:06 Declan Donnelly? Next one? Thumb.
14:09 Ant McPartlin? Next one, cry laughing.
14:11 Declan Donnelly? Next one? Hee, party hat.
14:14 Ant McPartlin? Next one, thumb.
14:16 Declan Donnelly? Next one, eye roll.
14:21 Ant McPartlin? Next one, love heart.
14:25 Declan Donnelly? Next one, face plant.
14:27 Ant McPartlin? Next one, peeking through fingers like that.
14:29 Declan Donnelly? Hot eyes.
14:30 Ant McPartlin? Why have I got a cucumber sliced up?
14:34 Declan Donnelly? Is that even a?
14:37 Ant McPartlin? Or is it a pickle? Look, is that a pickle? I don't ever remember using that, ever.
14:42 Declan Donnelly? That's a new emoji. I've never seen that one before.
14:45 Ant McPartlin? I don't go that far along the emoji trail. Hold on, what's that? A mermaid? Since when the genie coming out of a lamp? That's new, isn't it? No? It's not? Alright. I've never gone further than the ones I use all the time. Oh my God, like Tinker Bell.
15:04 Declan Donnelly? Where?
15:05 Ant McPartlin? There, next to the Aladdin. I'm sending you them now.
15:08 Declan Donnelly? Where's that? Oh, yeah.
15:10 Ant McPartlin? You say it, Poseidon?
15:12 Declan Donnelly? I've just got the same old ones I see every day.
15:14 Ant McPartlin? That's new, isn't it? Getting your nails done?
15:16 Speaker 07 No, that's real.
15:17 Ant McPartlin? Is that real? Is it?
15:20 Speaker 07 So, conclusion, do emojis show your age?
15:23 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
15:24 Ant McPartlin? Do emojis show your age? Yes, and I feel very old now. Or lazy, because I just haven't scored past that first page. If I can't sum it up in the top left hand corner of my recent emojis, it's not worth summing up.
15:36 Declan Donnelly? I don't know why I use half of those emojis.
15:38 Ant McPartlin? Why you would?
15:39 Declan Donnelly? Well, in what situation would you send a mermaid? Or a genie?
15:45 Ant McPartlin? I don't, the genie maybe, or which is my command, but I don't get how a mermaid is the response to any question other than, can you send me in more?
15:53 Speaker 07 To decorate things. Yeah, it's fun, yeah.
15:55 Ant McPartlin? To decorate things? Yeah, like happy birthday.
15:57 Speaker 07 Happy Birthday.
15:58 Declan Donnelly? Happy Birthday.
15:59 Ant McPartlin? I'm not gonna say happy birthday, I can't pick these up and mount it. Okay.
16:05 Ant McPartlin? Let's have another one. The Avril Lavigne was replaced by a body double.
16:08 Declan Donnelly? We've done this.
16:09 Ant McPartlin? We've done this. You're winding me up, you lot. How do you use emojis? Do this. We've literally just done it. Oh my god. So what is going on? Richard asks. Do you think some celebs have been cloned? Some people carry a Matt Kevin Hart's serious car crash. He was somehow replaced or cloned afterwards. Have we done this?
16:31 Declan Donnelly? We've kinda done this.
16:32 Ant McPartlin? Okay, let's not do it then.
16:33 Declan Donnelly? With Paul McCartney and Avril Lavigne.
16:36 Ant McPartlin? Let's not do it. Should you walk faster when you're in a city? Great question. Now we're back on track. Yes, you should.
16:47 Declan Donnelly? What do you mean?
16:48 Ant McPartlin? Course you should walk faster.
16:49 Declan Donnelly? What if you're just browsing shop windows?
16:51 Ant McPartlin? I hate dawdlers. In cities and in airports, people that dawdle around. Get right on my nerves.
16:57 Declan Donnelly? You know what one of my...
16:58 Ant McPartlin? Get a move on.
16:58 Declan Donnelly? You know what one of my pet hates is?
17:00 Ant McPartlin? Dog hair.
17:01 Declan Donnelly? No, no, no. When you're in an airport and you've got those long travelators.
17:07 Ant McPartlin? Yep.
17:07 Declan Donnelly? To take you like through the airport more quickly. And people are walking through the airport to get to the gate, then they get the travelator. And then they walk really slowly on the travelator. Then they get off and they walk quickly and then they walk slowly. It's like walk at the same pace on the travelator as you do through the airport. And we'd all get to our gates much more quickly.
17:26 Ant McPartlin? Maybe that's their breather? Maybe them getting on the travelators.
17:30 Declan Donnelly? Well, if that is the case, then stand to the right.
17:33 Ant McPartlin? And let the rest of us pace through.
17:36 Declan Donnelly? Don't stand shoulder to shoulder, the two of you. And walk at a slower pace than you do through the rest of the airport.
17:43 Ant McPartlin? I don't necessarily think I'm good travel companion.
17:46 Declan Donnelly? No, you're not.
17:47 Ant McPartlin? No.
17:48 Speaker 07 Are you an airport dad?
17:49 Ant McPartlin? I'm very much an airport dad. Yeah, I'm very much, let's just... Make sure you take whatever you need to take out of your backpack before you get to the actual scanner. So have it in your hand, your liquids, and have your laptop or your iPad in your other hand. And I don't know how, but carry your bag in your third hand, and then be ready for the scanner. And then when you get through there, get straight to the lounge, out to the lounge, straight to the gate. No dilly-dallying. Everything should be the right size. There's no excuses to have a bottle of water in your hand luggage. And if there is, you've missed the flight. That should be the ultimate consequence, that you don't come on holiday this year. Sorry, child. Yeah, I'm very much that way, Dad. I'm not, I, yeah, I'm very much like, head down, gotta get on with it.
18:33 Declan Donnelly? Do you do that thing, I do this, when somebody's got a bottle of water, and you're at, you're at security, and there's a bottle of water, and you go, you should know better than that.
18:41 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, yeah.
18:43 Declan Donnelly? You travel, you travel a lot, you should know better.
18:44 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
18:46 Declan Donnelly? No excuse for it.
18:47 Ant McPartlin? So do you walk faster in the city? Yes, you should. Because there's people in the city who want to get from here to be, that's the place to work. It's not time for you to dawdle around.
18:55 Declan Donnelly? Unless you go on shopping, window shopping?
18:57 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but well, stick close to the walls.
18:59 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I agree.
19:00 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, don't, don't, don't be in the middle of the pavement. Just stick close to the walls or windows. There should be lanes. Fast lane, slow lane.
19:08 Declan Donnelly? And stay in your lane.
19:09 Ant McPartlin? Stay in your lane.
19:09 Declan Donnelly? Stay in your lane.
19:10 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
19:10 Declan Donnelly? Very good. Very good question. Roman Empire discuss. How often do you think about the Roman Empire?
19:17 Ant McPartlin? A lot.
19:18 Declan Donnelly? Do you?
19:19 Ant McPartlin? Still, yeah. Yeah, I do. I wasn't, wasn't just making it up for the content, you know?
19:24 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, we did this on a social media thing.
19:26 Ant McPartlin? Um, yeah, you just can't, I always kind of hear Roman, the Roman Empire mentioned, or Roman legions, or gladiators. I don't know, it's just always, it's not far from me, mate. Or maybe it's like, history that I watch, or stuff that I read, it's, it's always kind of there or thereabouts for me. What about you?
19:47 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, a bit. Do you know what I would love to know more about is like, the succession of Roman emperors and the actual story of the empire?
19:56 Ant McPartlin? A bit like you do with the saints?
19:58 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
19:59 Ant McPartlin? Right, one last one. Oh, I broke the discussion jar. If it's a repeat, I'm walking out of here. Sheena Jeevesons in Kent asks, on the Medalla effect, have you heard about the salt and vinegar walkers crisps? Used to be in a blue packet, and now it's green and vice versa with cheese and onion. Apparently not true. They've always had the same colours. I disagree. Well, I do think in some other brands, blue was salt and vinegar and green was cheese and onion. I always, I equate green with cheese and onion and, and blue with salt and vinegar.
20:36 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, too, yeah.
20:37 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. So what she said, what she said.
20:39 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, too, yeah. No, so salt and vinegar Walkers crisps used to be in a blue pla- packet and now it's green. And vice versa for cheese and onion. Now, I agree with Sheena that the Walkers have always had it the other way around.
20:53 Ant McPartlin? What we got there? I can hear some crisps right there. Yeah.
20:57 Declan Donnelly? She's facing in a minute.
20:59 Ant McPartlin? Walkers get it wrong.
21:01 Declan Donnelly? Well, Walkers did it, I think, did that on purpose.
21:04 Ant McPartlin? Did they?
21:05 Declan Donnelly? I reckon they changed it around because everybody, every crisp manufacturer, cheese and onion used to be green.
21:10 Ant McPartlin? Uh huh.
21:11 Declan Donnelly? And salt and vinegar was always blue. But Walkers did the old switcheroo and nobody was watching.
21:18 Ant McPartlin? What a great way to finish. Cheese and onion crisps.
21:21 Declan Donnelly? Oh, I dropped them.
21:22 Ant McPartlin? Absolutely respect that, yeah.
21:24 Declan Donnelly? But yeah, Walkers have always been that colour.
21:26 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, they have.
21:27 Declan Donnelly? I think every other brand was the other way around.
21:29 Ant McPartlin? Well done.
21:32 Declan Donnelly? Just done that thing. You're going to open a bag of crisps upside down.
21:35 Ant McPartlin? Whoa, no. Great for the long round tonight.
21:37 Declan Donnelly? That really upsets me when that happens. Sorry, for those of you just listening, I've opened up my bag of crisps the wrong way around. I've opened up the bottom. That always used to make, put me on edge when I see people do that.
21:49 Ant McPartlin? On edge?
21:50 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, when I see it, I go, oh.
21:51 Ant McPartlin? What, you're going to lash out?
21:52 Declan Donnelly? Your crisps are upside down and I just kind of go, oh, that's really upset me.
21:57 Ant McPartlin? You psychopath. You psychopath test and you just failed.
22:01 Declan Donnelly? Don't like it. It's because you're eating what should be the last crisps first. That makes sense.
22:06 Speaker 07 Yeah, loads of sense.
22:07 Declan Donnelly? This should have been my last crisp, why not my first one? It's made me feel a bit funny, that. I don't know if I can eat them.
22:14 Ant McPartlin? Great, I love them. Right?
22:16 Declan Donnelly? I'll be fine.
22:16 Ant McPartlin? That's all. That's all we've got time for.
22:19 Declan Donnelly? Uh, we'll be back on Thursday with the main pod. We'll bring some more snacks.
22:22 Ant McPartlin? Huh?
