  King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Swirl Bite?

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

• 0:09Speaker 02

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

• 0:10Speaker 00

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

• 0:15Speaker 02

  Taylor Hansen? Nice.

• 0:17Speaker 01

  Try one.

• 0:18Speaker 02

  Mmm.

• 0:22Speaker 02

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

• 0:30Speaker 03

  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.

• 0:59Declan Donnelly?

  Come up on today's show and talks us through his recent operation, and I do not like it.

• 1:04Ant McPartlin?

  Two injections.

• 1:05Declan Donnelly?

  Ah!

• 1:06Ant McPartlin?

  Sliced down the middle of it.

• 1:08Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 1:09Ant McPartlin?

  And Dad tells us about his piles.

• 1:11Declan Donnelly?

  Clean up your piles. I don't think I've done that.

• 1:13Ant McPartlin?

  Whoa, what? What? Do you want a cushion?

• 1:16Declan Donnelly?

  We'll tell you what happened when we met the King and Queen. And as I'm running past, a voice goes, "Come on, hurry up." I think that was the King.

• 1:25Ant McPartlin?

  We find out the internet has been rating our feet. What?

• 1:29Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 1:30Ant McPartlin?

  There's so many pictures of our feet. This is disgusting, guys.

• 1:34Declan Donnelly?

  And? Walkie Donkey's back! It's gonna rhyme! Enjoy the show.

• 1:43Ant McPartlin?

  Hello, how are you?

• 1:46Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, if we're laughing on the way in, it's gonna be a good pod.

• 1:50Declan Donnelly?

  Hello, everybody. Welcome to The Hangover, more hanging out with him and me. It's a lovely, sunny day outside.

• 1:57Ant McPartlin?

  Well, it wasn't. It was raining, wasn't it?

• 1:59Declan Donnelly?

  Ah.

• 1:59Ant McPartlin?

  Second to go. Now it's sunny.

• 2:02Declan Donnelly?

  So I presume it didn't come on your bike because it's raining?

• 2:04Ant McPartlin?

  No, I didn't come on me bike. Not because it's raining.

• 2:07Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 2:07Ant McPartlin?

  There's another reason why I didn't come on me motorbike. Can't ride me motorbike for a little while. Good audible gas from Heckler's Corner though.

• 2:16Declan Donnelly?

  Is it something you do your spending by and you can't put petrol in it?

• 2:18Ant McPartlin?

  No, it's electric. You don't put petrol in it.

• 2:21Declan Donnelly?

  Is it your spending by and you can't pay electric bill?

• 2:23Ant McPartlin?

  No, I can pay. I have to pay my electric bill.

• 2:26Declan Donnelly?

  Do you have to?

• 2:26Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, of course you've got to do the things that are a necessity I would spend money on.

• 2:31Declan Donnelly?

  What happened if we all stopped paying our electric bills? The compots are all in prison.

• 2:34Ant McPartlin?

  Good point. Well, you start, we'll see what happens. You start and get back to us, yeah? I can't write me more about it because yesterday I had a little surgery on my toe.

• 2:43Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 2:45Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that's better. It's good, good reactions from Heckler's Corner today.

• 2:48Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, no, he didn't. Um, what happened?

• 2:52Ant McPartlin?

  So you know, I'm quite clumsy. Yes.

• 2:54Declan Donnelly?

  I do know that.

• 2:55Ant McPartlin?

  So years ago, I dropped something on my big toenail, right?

• 2:58Declan Donnelly?

  A national television award. Was it that one?

• 3:00Ant McPartlin?

  No, I have dropped the national television award on my ankle and ended up in A and E.

• 3:05Declan Donnelly?

  On your ankle?

• 3:06Ant McPartlin?

  I dropped it there on my ankle, right? And it started really bleeding and so I wrapped it with a bandage. I mean, this is a different story, but I'm happily telling you, uh, it started really bleeding, but then it just wouldn't stop. It would kind of go through the bandage, bleed through the bandage. So I went to A and E and, um, I was in there. And they came over and they went, um, did you drop something on her? And yes, I did. And I thought, I can't say it's a national television award. So I said it was a bookend. So then I had three stitches in. But yeah, I've got, I've got an injury. I've got a little scar there from a national television award.

• 3:41Declan Donnelly?

  It's nice, isn't it? It's a nice reminder.

• 3:42Ant McPartlin?

  It's a nice reminder of all the NTAs we've won in the past, just not yet, not last year.

• 3:51Declan Donnelly?

  Um, what did you drop on your toe? BAFTA?

• 3:53Ant McPartlin?

  No, I didn't drop a BAFTA.

• 3:53Declan Donnelly?

  TV quick?

• 3:54Ant McPartlin?

  I don't know what it was.

• 3:55Declan Donnelly?

  TV quick award?

• 3:56Ant McPartlin?

  I think, but I've constantly dropped loads of stuff on my feet over the years. So they were like, right, that toenail's coming off.

• 4:01Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that always makes me feel a bit like, ooh, ow, toenails coming off.

• 4:07Ant McPartlin?

  Shall I talk you through the procedure?

• 4:09Declan Donnelly?

  Do you need to have to?

• 4:09Ant McPartlin?

  Little bit of local anaesthetic in the toe.

• 4:12Declan Donnelly?

  An injection in your toe?

• 4:13Ant McPartlin?

  Two injections.

• 4:13Declan Donnelly?

  Ah.

• 4:15Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, and then sliced down the middle of it.

• 4:17Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 4:18Ant McPartlin?

  Get the pliers, get the pliers, ripping off from the roots. So it's all bandaged up now. Um, and I got home and if the bandage is like that, so the toes, see the toes are there, the bandage is that long. And of course, while I was like, daddy. Like that. But, uh, yes, I can't ride my bike for a few days. Few days. The weekend I reckon I'll be alright.

• 4:40Declan Donnelly?

  That makes me feel a bit weird.

• 4:41Ant McPartlin?

  Does it?

• 4:41Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 4:42Ant McPartlin?

  Did you watch them doing it? Yeah, right, I did. I watched, I watched everything.

• 4:46Declan Donnelly?

  I'd ask for general anaesthetic. I'd wanna be out cold.

• 4:48Ant McPartlin?

  No, I watched everything, everything. And then they've got a German chemical down there, so it doesn't grow back. I watched all of that. Wait, so you're not gonna have a toenail ever again? Half. That's alright. It's cool. It's cool. It's good injury.

• 5:01Declan Donnelly?

  Good conversation starter.

• 5:02Ant McPartlin?

  It's on the same foot as where I dropped the national television award. So this left foot is just riddled with scars.

• 5:08Declan Donnelly?

  If the conversation runs dry, just take your left shoe and sock off. Oh, I told you about this. Wow, that's, uh, that's a bit much.

• 5:16Ant McPartlin?

  How was your yesterday?

• 5:17Declan Donnelly?

  Had a day off, chilled out, uh, went for a big, long walk, had some cryotherapy.

• 5:22Ant McPartlin?

  Ah.

• 5:23Declan Donnelly?

  Froze myself, got down to, uh, body temperature of eight point eight degrees. Good for you, apparently. Slept like a baby last night.

• 5:30Ant McPartlin?

  I bet you did.

• 5:31Declan Donnelly?

  So I feel a bit groggy today.

• 5:33Ant McPartlin?

  I'm gutted. I, we used to both go to cryo, uh, to a cryo chamber, didn't we?

• 5:37Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, separate ones, not, not the same ones.

• 5:39Ant McPartlin?

  And, uh, mine's closed down and moved. So, good. I went every day, obviously, just wanted to do it every day. I went every day for the period of my.

• 5:47Declan Donnelly?

  That surprises me. It's not like you to get hyper fixated on something.

• 5:51Ant McPartlin?

  Every day for a year. But, uh, I think they've moved near where I've moved.

• 5:55Declan Donnelly?

  Ah.

• 5:55Ant McPartlin?

  So I need to join up again.

• 5:57Declan Donnelly?

  Mine's closing down, so I am devoured.

• 6:00Ant McPartlin?

  Cover my mind.

• 6:01Declan Donnelly?

  I might.

• 6:02Ant McPartlin?

  Wonder how much they are? Like to buy one yourself?

• 6:04Declan Donnelly?

  You, you can't afford it.

• 6:05Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I can't buy one, can I?

• 6:06Declan Donnelly?

  You're not allowed.

• 6:07Ant McPartlin?

  Do you know the amount of times I've, I've said that over the last few weeks? Wonder how much they are? Wonder how? The, she, the woman said it was yesterday. She said, um, you need to get some saline drops just to put on the wound over the next couple of days.

• 6:17Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not allowed.

• 6:18Ant McPartlin?

  I said, I'm not allowed. She went, what? I said, I'm on a spending badge. She goes, just go on Amazon. I said, I can't go on Amazon. Uh, but apparently it's a necessity, so I am allowed.

• 6:27Declan Donnelly?

  You're allowed saline drops.

• 6:28Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, is anybody's got any? They're gonna lend me some? Give me some? No.

• 6:32Declan Donnelly?

  No, I think we'll allow you to spend on them.

• 6:34Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I can, I can buy them, can't I?

• 6:35Declan Donnelly?

  No, you spend on them.

• 6:36Ant McPartlin?

  It's still very liberating not going into your phone and seeing an advert for something and buying it immediately. It's good.

• 6:45Declan Donnelly?

  It's good, it's good for the, good for the soul.

• 6:47Ant McPartlin?

  It's good for the bank account, believe me.

• 6:49Declan Donnelly?

  And the bank balance, yeah. I had a lovely day the other day. I had a lovely date day.

• 6:52Ant McPartlin?

  Did you?

• 6:52Declan Donnelly?

  With the current Mrs Donnelly.

• 6:53Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, good.

• 6:54Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, we had a date afternoon.

• 6:56Ant McPartlin?

  Good, you needed it.

• 6:57Declan Donnelly?

  It was, yes.

• 6:58Ant McPartlin?

  It was needed.

• 6:59Declan Donnelly?

  What, do you think, do you think, what she said?

• 7:02Ant McPartlin?

  That's what she said. It was needed, much needed apparently.

• 7:05Declan Donnelly?

  It was good. She got a chance to go through all her lists with me.

• 7:09Declan Donnelly?

  Tell me what jobs I've got to do in the next month. Oh, she loves a list.

• 7:12Ant McPartlin?

  She brings lists on dates? She used to bring a laptop, didn't she?

• 7:15Declan Donnelly?

  She used to bring a laptop on dates, yes. We used to go out for dinner and she'd bring a laptop and we'd go through things on the laptop.

• 7:20Ant McPartlin?

  Sexy, get out that sexy laptop and let's go through, uh.

• 7:25Declan Donnelly?

  Let's get warmed up. Yeah, she likes, she loves a list.

• 7:29Ant McPartlin?

  Uh huh.

• 7:29Declan Donnelly?

  And I often get lists of, uh, jobs I need to do around the house. Many of them don't get done because I keep forgetting.

• 7:35Ant McPartlin?

  Like?

• 7:36Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, like clean up your piles. I don't.

• 7:39Ant McPartlin?

  What, what? Do you want a cushion? Do you want a cushion for that chair? Have you got piles?

• 7:44Declan Donnelly?

  I don't mean having an operation like you, bit of local anaesthetic. No piles, I've got piles of stuff in the house.

• 7:50Ant McPartlin?

  Clothes?

• 7:51Declan Donnelly?

  Everything.

• 7:52Ant McPartlin?

  Like, what do you mean everything?

• 7:53Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I put everything in a pile.

• 7:55Ant McPartlin?

  That's why you would need to swap stuff more.

• 7:57Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I've got, I've got a pile in, in the bedroom of.

• 8:03Ant McPartlin?

  Why, where is this going?

• 8:05Declan Donnelly?

  We've got a chair each in the bedroom. You put your clothes on, we've got one each, and mine is piled with stuff.

• 8:10Ant McPartlin?

  Like what? What's on the pile?

• 8:11Declan Donnelly?

  I've got a little mobile, um, iPhone charger that also charges me watch.

• 8:16Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 8:16Declan Donnelly?

  And me, um.

• 8:18Ant McPartlin?

  Why is it not by the side of your bed?

• 8:22Declan Donnelly?

  Because I've got a permanent one by the side of my bed.

• 8:23Ant McPartlin?

  So why is, what's, what's the mobile one doing in the bedroom?

• 8:26Declan Donnelly?

  That's my travel one that when I go away, I take that one.

• 8:28Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 8:29Declan Donnelly?

  So if I've been away for the night, it comes out of my bag and I put it there. I'll go put that away sometime soon. And then I'll go away again and I put it back. So it's quite handy to have it there. And then there's like. Piles of paperwork, books. I've just taken out my bag and put it there. I'll put them away soon. So my chair is piled with things, foreign adapters.

• 8:49Ant McPartlin?

  On the chair?

• 8:50Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 8:51Ant McPartlin?

  You've not got a drawer for them?

• 8:52Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, but I'll put them away soon.

• 8:54Ant McPartlin?

  And then you never have.

• 8:55Declan Donnelly?

  And so she, it's a, it's a war of attrition.

• 8:56Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 8:57Declan Donnelly?

  Going to tidy up your piles soon?

• 8:58Ant McPartlin?

  Ah.

• 8:59Declan Donnelly?

  And I go, yeah, yeah, yeah, probably tomorrow.

• 9:04Declan Donnelly?

  Anyway, so I get lists and I get, totally clean up my piles.

• 9:08Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 9:10Declan Donnelly?

  And also.

• 9:11Ant McPartlin?

  Date night was needed. I was joking, but it was needed because these things fester, these resentments build. You'll be strangled in your sleep. Is the pile reduced since the date night?

• 9:22Declan Donnelly?

  It has actually.

• 9:23Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 9:23Declan Donnelly?

  I've cleaned away some of the clothes. So the, so there's a pile of stuff and then the clothes are on top of it.

• 9:27Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my God, don't sit down on that pile of clothes. You have foreign adapters up your.

• 9:33Declan Donnelly?

  And then you'll have trouble with your piles. So I put the clothes away. So now it's just the pile of stuff.

• 9:39Ant McPartlin?

  Anyway, back to the date. Was it fun? Where did you go?

• 9:41Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, fun. Yeah, we went out, we went out for a meal, went out for a lovely roast dinner.

• 9:44Ant McPartlin?

  Nice.

• 9:45Declan Donnelly?

  And I possibly embarrassed myself a little bit because I, I ordered roast pork and cracklin.

• 9:51Ant McPartlin?

  Nice.

• 9:51Declan Donnelly?

  It's delicious. But I'm one of those people that I'll have mint sauce with everything.

• 9:54Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah.

• 9:55Declan Donnelly?

  With every meal, whether it's chicken, pork, lamb, beef, mint sauce.

• 10:00Ant McPartlin?

  McDonald's.

• 10:01Declan Donnelly?

  McDonald's, mint sauce with everything. So I asked for mint sauce, much to her disgust.

• 10:07Ant McPartlin?

  She was disgusted with you?

• 10:08Declan Donnelly?

  Well, no, she was like, oh, you've asked for mint sauce in a posh restaurant. And he, and he went, I'll go and check with the kitchen.

• 10:13Ant McPartlin?

  In a posh restaurant?

• 10:14Declan Donnelly?

  I'll go and check with the kitchen. And he's like, you know, if he's going to check with the kitchen, they don't give up, they're not giving up mint sauce. Nobody's asking for mint sauce. So he came back and he said, we haven't got any mint sauce, but I'm going to send somebody to the shop to get you some.

• 10:28Ant McPartlin?

  That is the power you wield.

• 10:30Declan Donnelly?

  It's not, it's not.

• 10:31Ant McPartlin?

  That is, that is Declan Donnelly, that is. That's a life, that's a glimpse in the life of Declan Donnelly, that. It is. A bono's hat.

• 10:39Declan Donnelly?

  So they went to the shop and got me some mince sauce. Yeah. And then at the end of the meal, they came over and they said, was everything all right? And it was delicious. And he brought the bill and he went, we'll see you again soon. I said, you definitely will. He went, you better because you've got a lot of mince sauce to eat up now.

• 10:53Ant McPartlin?

  It's got your name on the side of the.

• 10:54Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, in the fridge.

• 10:55Ant McPartlin?

  Of the jar.

• 10:56Declan Donnelly?

  Went to the cinema after that. Went to see The Drama.

• 10:59Speaker 06

  Oh, that's good.

• 11:01Declan Donnelly?

  Is it?

• 11:01Speaker 06

  Yes. Oh.

• 11:02Ant McPartlin?

  Well, come on, banana, mate.

• 11:04Declan Donnelly?

  Robert Pattinson and friend of the pod, Zendaya.

• 11:07Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we love Zendaya.

• 11:07Declan Donnelly?

  Is Zendaya a friend of the pod or is it just her dog?

• 11:10Ant McPartlin?

  Well, Zendaya's dog, but because she owns the dog.

• 11:13Declan Donnelly?

  She's a friend of the pod.

• 11:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. And we like Tom, just because he's a nice guy. He's definitely a friend of the pod.

• 11:19Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 11:19Ant McPartlin?

  He is.

• 11:20Declan Donnelly?

  Robert Pattinson, is he a friend of the pod?

• 11:22Ant McPartlin?

  Could be. It's up to him.

• 11:23Declan Donnelly?

  Might not be after my review.

• 11:24Ant McPartlin?

  If he wants to look. Oh, right. Be careful.

• 11:27Declan Donnelly?

  Why?

• 11:27Ant McPartlin?

  Because I like to interview him when Batman two comes out.

• 11:29Declan Donnelly?

  Okay. It was great. It bananas.

• 11:34Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not sure about it.

• 11:35Speaker 06

  Why?

• 11:36Ant McPartlin?

  Have you all seen it?

• 11:37Speaker 06

  Yes, I have.

• 11:38Ant McPartlin?

  Have you?

• 11:39Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 11:40Declan Donnelly?

  Did you? Did you guys love it?

• 11:41Speaker 06

  I thought it was going to be more of a rom com.

• 11:42Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 11:42Speaker 06

  So I was a bit sad about it not being so rom commy.

• 11:46Declan Donnelly?

  It's not very rom commy. It's quite dark. It's got dark comedy.

• 11:48Ant McPartlin?

  For those of us who don't know about it, could you give us a brief synopsis, please?

• 11:51Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, so Robert Pattinson and Zendaya are getting married in one week's time.

• 11:55Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 11:56Declan Donnelly?

  And they are, they've gone to their final tasting, they're tasting the wines, they're choosing their wines for the weekend with their best man and maid of honour. And they play a game, which is what is the worst thing you've ever done. And the best man and the maid of honour are married. And they said, we played this before our wedding. This was mine. Maid of honour said, this is the worst thing I've ever done. She said, it's not that bad, but this is the worst thing I've ever done. And they go, oh, God, Robert Pattinson and Zendaya go, oh, we've never played this game. So Robert Pattinson goes, um, oh gosh, I can't really think. This is the worst thing I've ever done. And everybody chuckles. Then Zendaya says, well. So I haven't really done anything bad. She said, oh, apart from this, and she says something, I'm not going to spoil it. She says something that absolutely turns the whole thing on its head.

• 12:38Declan Donnelly?

  And it's a big moral dilemma about whether you think what she has said is.

• 12:43Speaker 06

  Whether he should still marry her or.

• 12:46Ant McPartlin?

  Really? It's that bad?

• 12:47Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it's quite a big scruple. And if you were, you were going to marry this person in a week, if you found this out about somebody you were about to marry.

• 12:55Ant McPartlin?

  Would you still get married?

• 12:56Declan Donnelly?

  And would, and would it change your perception of them for the rest of your life? Because this person could do something like that.

• 13:04Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you see, we should play that on the pod.

• 13:06Speaker 06

  Robert Pattinson's family also have flown all the way from London, so it's like whether they cancel it and all the family.

• 13:12Ant McPartlin?

  What? For the wedding.

• 13:14Speaker 06

  For the wedding.

• 13:14Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, in the movie, sorry, it's just, I'm really confused.

• 13:18Declan Donnelly?

  No, he didn't come with me. He didn't come to the pictures with me.

• 13:21Ant McPartlin?

  Did he have his own mince sauce?

• 13:26Ant McPartlin?

  Right, well, let's, well, let's do a banana average now then. So, Lola? Seven bananas. Seven?

• 13:31Speaker 06

  Six point five.

• 13:32Ant McPartlin?

  Fiona? Jemima, have you seen it? I've not seen it. Okay, so seven and six point five. And, Declan?

• 13:37Declan Donnelly?

  Do you know what? I'm gonna go, I didn't love it.

• 13:41Ant McPartlin?

  Thinking that he might be on the pod as a guest when he promotes Batman two.

• 13:46Declan Donnelly?

  I didn't love it, but.

• 13:47Ant McPartlin?

  I'm so sorry, Robert.

• 13:49Declan Donnelly?

  But that's because.

• 13:50Ant McPartlin?

  Don't start with that.

• 13:50Declan Donnelly?

  No, no, no, but that's because, I think, of the subject matter and it's not what I was expecting. And I did have half a bottle of red wine over dinner, so I did fall asleep.

• 14:01Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, well, you, you, no, you can't rate it then. You can't rate it.

• 14:05Declan Donnelly?

  It was, it was a split second.

• 14:07Ant McPartlin?

  No, no, you've said it now.

• 14:09Declan Donnelly?

  It was a delicious Rioja.

• 14:10Ant McPartlin?

  If you fall asleep at anything, your banana rating is null and void.

• 14:14Declan Donnelly?

  It was a delicious Rioja.

• 14:15Ant McPartlin?

  Nah. So I'm, at the minute, I'm watching, um, what's it called? That John Hamm Friends and Neighbours thing? Season two. But my wife keeps falling asleep every night and I'm like, we're gonna have, just have to stop this now. Because I think, we're both very tired, we've got a two year old.

• 14:29Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 14:30Ant McPartlin?

  But I do, certain shows, we stay awake for, and this one we just fall asleep to. And I'm like, I think we just biff it off now. There's too much good stuff out there.

• 14:39Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, there was a lot.

• 14:39Ant McPartlin?

  I loved season one. Season one was a good, six bananas, but it's just more of the same really. And I'm like.

• 14:45Declan Donnelly?

  Seen it.

• 14:46Ant McPartlin?

  I'll move on to something else. Recommendations, please. Send me recommendations of what to watch.

• 14:50Declan Donnelly?

  Can I give it six bananas then? I, I was asleep for a split second.

• 14:54Ant McPartlin?

  I didn't love it and I fell asleep, but six bananas, because Robert Pattinson is gonna come on the pod.

• 14:59Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, now you've done with Robert Pattinson.

• 15:00Ant McPartlin?

  Batman two. He's a big fan of the pod.

• 15:02Declan Donnelly?

  Is he?

• 15:03Ant McPartlin?

  Apparently so, yeah. That's what he was saying to Zendaya in Zendaya, said it to our dog when I met the dog. That's what the dog said. Sounded like, oh, oh, to you guys, but to me it was, I love the pod. Robert, Robert, Robert, Robert, can I come on? Still haven't played golf with Tom Holland though, have we?

• 15:18Declan Donnelly?

  No, we haven't.

• 15:19Ant McPartlin?

  And his brother and Sam.

• 15:20Declan Donnelly?

  I haven't played golf with anybody.

• 15:21Ant McPartlin?

  I wasn't playing golf for a little while.

• 15:23Declan Donnelly?

  No, that too. I've just been pulled out at the root.

• 15:26Ant McPartlin?

  At the root? Great face. That, that, that should be the thumbnail. That is the thumbnail for this week's pod.

• 15:35Declan Donnelly?

  Have you got it?

• 15:36Ant McPartlin?

  You got it?

• 15:42Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, God.

• 15:45Ant McPartlin?

  This is an advert for Santander, who understand that saving for your first home can feel almost impossible and the road to owning can be a bumpy one.

• 15:53Declan Donnelly?

  Do you remember the day we, um, went to view a house for me, my very first house?

• 15:58Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I bought one myself. Well, I went along to help you, didn't I?

• 16:02Declan Donnelly?

  Well, because I wanted your opinion. It's such a big deal, isn't it, to, to invest in a property for the very first time? And it's such a lot of money and it's a big commitment. It's a big grown up decision to make.

• 16:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it is.

• 16:13Declan Donnelly?

  I really wanted somebody else's opinion.

• 16:15Ant McPartlin?

  You needed support.

• 16:16Declan Donnelly?

  I needed support.

• 16:17Ant McPartlin?

  So you asked for me.

• 16:18Declan Donnelly?

  Well, yes, you know, you were my best friend at the time.

• 16:20Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you. What do you mean at the time?

• 16:23Declan Donnelly?

  So I just wanted somebody there to back up that I was doing the right thing.

• 16:27Ant McPartlin?

  What can I say? Everybody needs someone like me in their lives. Imagine what it's like for first time buyers now.

• 16:34Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I think it's even harder nowadays.

• 16:36Ant McPartlin?

  It is.

• 16:36Declan Donnelly?

  It's like you've got a mountain to climb to do it. But did you know that Santander have first time buyer mortgages with deposits starting from just £10,000, even on larger loans?

• 16:46Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I did know that. We recorded an advert for just that last week. Now, over to Lola for the Ts and Cs.

• 16:52Declan Donnelly?

  Lola, you're on.

• 16:53Ant McPartlin?

  Hit it.

• 16:54Speaker 07

• 17:09Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, very good.

• 17:10Ant McPartlin?

  It's not a competition, but you were better than Fiona.

• 17:14Declan Donnelly?

  Although Fiona, can you just have a little, can we have a little trumpet from you?

• 17:19Declan Donnelly?

  That is very good.

• 17:20Ant McPartlin?

  Oh yeah, she's better at that.

• 17:21Declan Donnelly?

  Visit Santander.co.uk for more detail.

• 17:24Ant McPartlin?

  Santander, it starts here.

• 17:28Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks for all your comments, letting us know where you're listening from. Do you want to see this week's reach? I'm going to do a UK one this week.

• 17:33Ant McPartlin?

  Good, good, because I still want to mention about you guys telling the rest of the country that you should listen to the podcast.

• 17:42Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I've got something to show you this week.

• 17:45Ant McPartlin?

  Come on.

• 17:45Declan Donnelly?

  Look at this, right? Got Andy from Weston Under Lizard.

• 17:49Ant McPartlin?

  Where the hell is that?

• 17:50Declan Donnelly?

  I have no idea. It must be near Weston Super Mayor, is it?

• 17:53Ant McPartlin?

  Near Shrewsbury.

• 17:54Declan Donnelly?

  Weston Under Lizard.

• 17:55Ant McPartlin?

  What a great place.

• 17:56Declan Donnelly?

  That's the first time I've ever heard that mentioned on UK media, anywhere.

• 18:01Ant McPartlin?

  UK media?

• 18:02Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I've never heard it on the news.

• 18:04Ant McPartlin?

  We've done a lot of phone-ins over the years with callers and, you know, we've had questions on all of the TV shows that we've done. We've never had anybody call in with a question from Weston Under Lizard.

• 18:14Declan Donnelly?

  Have you ever been?

• 18:15Ant McPartlin?

  I've never been.

• 18:16Declan Donnelly?

  Would you like to go?

• 18:16Ant McPartlin?

  I'd love to go. Are there many lizards there? It must be one giant lizard.

• 18:21Speaker 07

  Have you heard the conspiracy theory about lizard people?

• 18:23Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 18:24Speaker 07

  Maybe that's where they...

• 18:25Ant McPartlin?

  Maybe that's where they originated, yeah. Maybe that's where the portal is, where they all climb up through the earth's crust.

• 18:31Declan Donnelly?

  Could be. Rachel is listening in Peterhead, Scotland. Now, is Peterhead right up there, north of Aberdeen?

• 18:38Ant McPartlin?

  Must be, yeah. Grampian. Have you ever been?

• 18:41Declan Donnelly?

  I've been to Aberdeen.

• 18:42Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I've been to Aberdeen. Ever been up there?

• 18:44Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know if I've been to Peterhead. I'd like to go.

• 18:46Ant McPartlin?

  Would you?

• 18:47Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I bet there's good golf up there.

• 18:48Ant McPartlin?

  There'll be very good golf up there. Right, that's another thing, actually, I'd like to add to the list. If we ever do stay at your house, we need fresh eat, you need to get a big shop in, the wifi's got to be good, and a golf course nearby would be really handy. Please, thank you.

• 19:03Declan Donnelly?

  Beth is listening in Colford in the Forest of Dean.

• 19:06Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, Forest of Dean, yes.

• 19:07Declan Donnelly?

  That's in Gloucester, isn't it? Forest of Dean, one of these two?

• 19:09Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it is. We've done some filming down there for Back of Grove.

• 19:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, we did, do you remember?

• 19:12Ant McPartlin?

  Hmm.

• 19:14Declan Donnelly?

  God, that was years and years ago.

• 19:15Ant McPartlin?

  Years ago, that's where...

• 19:17Declan Donnelly?

  With Simon Parkin from The Broom Cupboard.

• 19:18Ant McPartlin?

  Was he?

• 19:19Declan Donnelly?

  I think. Yeah, we did a, we did a thing, a promo, and The Broom Cupboard people came, and Simon Parkin was there.

• 19:25Ant McPartlin?

  Ah.

• 19:26Declan Donnelly?

  He was a nice guy.

• 19:26Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, nice guy.

• 19:28Declan Donnelly?

  Have you ever been?

• 19:28Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 19:29Declan Donnelly?

  Oh yeah, we just talked about it. Yeah, we just talked about it. Sorry, goldfish memory. Becky is listening in Lough Ho in Swansea. Lough Ho, Lough Ho?

• 19:40Ant McPartlin?

  Lough Lo, Lough Lo, Lough Lo. Lough Lo.

• 19:43Declan Donnelly?

  Lough Ho.

• 19:44Ant McPartlin?

  Lough Lo.

• 19:45Declan Donnelly?

  You ever been?

• 19:45Ant McPartlin?

  Lough Ho. I'd remember it if I had been. I've been to Swansea, yes.

• 19:49Declan Donnelly?

  Swansea.

• 19:50Ant McPartlin?

  Been to Swansea, yes.

• 19:51Declan Donnelly?

  Love it. Mary's in Maidstone in Kent.

• 19:54Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, we've been there. The studio, TV studios in Maidstone in Kent.

• 19:58Declan Donnelly?

  Which, funny enough, appear in the diary this week.

• 20:00Ant McPartlin?

  Do they?

• 20:00Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 20:01Ant McPartlin?

  How strange is that?

• 20:02Declan Donnelly?

  Funny.

• 20:03Ant McPartlin?

  Ever been?

• 20:04Declan Donnelly?

  Ever been, yes.

• 20:05Ant McPartlin?

  You'll find out.

• 20:07Declan Donnelly?

  Amy is in North Lanarkshire in Scotland. I don't know if we've been to North Lanarkshire, but we've been through it. Been to Glasgow, been to Edinburgh. Nicola Upglenn.

• 20:15Ant McPartlin?

  Hi Nicola.

• 20:16Declan Donnelly?

  Is in Hexham in Northumberland.

• 20:17Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, we've been to Hexham, Hexham, beautiful.

• 20:19Declan Donnelly?

  Beautiful.

• 20:19Ant McPartlin?

  Very nice.

• 20:20Declan Donnelly?

  Very posh. It's lovely.

• 20:22Ant McPartlin?

  It's quite posh.

• 20:23Declan Donnelly?

  Nikki is listening in Stroud in Gloucestershire. That's another Gloucestershire one. We're big in Gloucestershire, aren't we?

• 20:29Ant McPartlin?

  We are big in Gloucestershire.

• 20:31Declan Donnelly?

  Now, can I bring your attention to somewhere we are not big?

• 20:34Ant McPartlin?

  Well, there's two places I can see. One is North Yorkshire. There is no flags in North Yorkshire, north of Wakefield and south of Newcastle upon Tyne.

• 20:48Declan Donnelly?

  And in the North West, in Cumbria and Lancashire. We need a few more listeners up there. And specifically, there is a huge swathe of area here. East Anglia, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge.

• 21:01Ant McPartlin?

  That's your Ipswiches, it's your Norrages. So specifically, if you're in these areas that we're pointing to now, which don't have flags on, get out there and advertise the pod. Let other people know the pod's on, drops on a Thursday and a Monday. Whatever way you want to advertise it, like we said before.

• 21:18Declan Donnelly?

  Sandwich board?

• 21:19Ant McPartlin?

  Maybe a big for sale sign down the bottom of your garden, maybe a school assembly. Maybe that's your show and tell that week.

• 21:24Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that's a good idea.

• 21:26Ant McPartlin?

  No, at schools, at workplaces, at local radio. Call up your local radio, do a little phone in and let them know about it, why not?

• 21:35Declan Donnelly?

  Come on, guys, we're slogging our guts out here.

• 21:37Ant McPartlin?

  Send us photographic evidence of you doing it and we'll show it on the pod. Nothing illegal, don't injure yourself. Apparently someone's saying over there, the boring people.

• 21:45Speaker 06

  Nothing illegal and nothing unsafe.

• 21:48Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, absolutely.

• 21:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 21:50Declan Donnelly?

  But yeah, come on, come on, East Anglia. Come on, Cumbria.

• 21:55Ant McPartlin?

  Come on, Teesside.

• 21:57Declan Donnelly?

  Get involved in the pod, man, it's loads of fun.

• 22:01Speaker 07

  We heard of WikiFeet.

• 22:03Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 22:03Speaker 07

  WikiFeet.

• 22:04Declan Donnelly?

  WikiFeet.

• 22:05Ant McPartlin?

  WikiFeet.

• 22:05Speaker 07

  It's basically a website where people rate celebrities' feet.

• 22:12Ant McPartlin?

  You rate celebrities' feet?

• 22:14Speaker 06

  Who do you think's got better, uh, score?

• 22:16Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, not me.

• 22:17Declan Donnelly?

  Out of us two?

• 22:18Speaker 07

  Yeah, you've both got a score on WikiFeet.

• 22:20Ant McPartlin?

  What's the score? Like a banana rating?

• 22:22Speaker 07

  Out of five.

• 22:23Ant McPartlin?

  Out of five? Oh, like, what do I think mine is?

• 22:26Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 22:26Ant McPartlin?

  Like, two out of five.

• 22:27Declan Donnelly?

  I've got pretty good feet, I reckon, four and a half.

• 22:29Speaker 06

  Well, you've both actually got a good score, but, and yours is better than Dec.

• 22:33Ant McPartlin?

  Is it?

• 22:34Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 22:34Speaker 06

  Yeah. You've got 4.85 stars. Dec, you've got 4.69. Oh, sorry, that's Anna Dec's feet. Sorry.

• 22:42Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, we've got a combined score, have we? And Dec's feet.

• 22:46Speaker 06

  Oh, you've got 4.79, Dec. You've got 4.85.

• 22:50Ant McPartlin?

  Whoever would have thought that I'd win on the feet wars?

• 22:53Declan Donnelly?

  Until 20 seconds ago, I had no idea this website existed, and now I'm mortally wounded.

• 23:00Speaker 07

  There's so many pictures.

• 23:02Ant McPartlin?

  Oh. So many pictures of our feet?

• 23:04Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 23:04Ant McPartlin?

  This is disgusting, guys. You say, why are you looking at pictures of feet on the, on the internet? No, lad, that's why I've got to ask you.

• 23:11Declan Donnelly?

  Look at their faces. We can't see what, we can't see what they're looking at. We can just see their faces.

• 23:15Ant McPartlin?

  We can just see them going, oh, ooh, ah.

• 23:18Speaker 07

  I wonder if your score will go down now, though.

• 23:19Ant McPartlin?

  Course my score will go down. I've got half a toe. I've lost half my score.

• 23:24Declan Donnelly?

  Half a nail, not half a toe.

• 23:26Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, well, you know what I mean.

• 23:28Declan Donnelly?

  That's, that is weird. Oh.

• 23:31Ant McPartlin?

  An airplane came in, but it hit the light. Ah, no, it hit me in the guts.

• 23:35Declan Donnelly?

  What's this, Ant? What's this? The news just in?

• 23:37Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, Ant and Dec.

• 23:38Declan Donnelly?

  Hi.

• 23:39Ant McPartlin?

  Just want to stop by saying I love the podcast. As a lifelong fan, it's so great to be able to see you being yourselves in a relaxed environment.

• 23:46Declan Donnelly?

  Relax and chat.

• 23:46Ant McPartlin?

  Relax and chat. One thing I've noticed, though, is Dec comes across as incredibly zen, measured, and calm.

• 23:55Declan Donnelly?

  Really? Really?

• 23:56Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, this is Robert at odds with the unhinged maniac who unleashed hell on unsuspecting children on Wonky Donkey, something I took great pleasure in watching. So my question to you is, does Dec still have this unhinged side? Ah, I presume that question is to me. Uh, when did it last rear its head and what unleashes the beast? Big love with the love heart, Sally.

• 24:21Declan Donnelly?

  I do have quite a short fuse.

• 24:23Ant McPartlin?

  You do?

• 24:24Declan Donnelly?

  Um.

• 24:25Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, he does.

• 24:25Declan Donnelly?

  Why did you giggle at that?

• 24:26Ant McPartlin?

  Short fuse. He does. He does.

• 24:29Declan Donnelly?

  It's not a great pod for me, this, is it? I've got piles and a short fuse.

• 24:34Ant McPartlin?

  And bad feet.

• 24:39Declan Donnelly?

  I do have a short fuse, but it takes me longer to get there. I think I'm more patient now, more tolerant than I was back then.

• 24:45Speaker 06

  So a longer fuse.

• 24:47Ant McPartlin?

  You've got a longer fuse. Yeah, yeah.

• 24:52Speaker 06

  Yes, perhaps.

• 24:53Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, he's got a longer fuse. Yeah. That's what it is. Your fuse has lengthened.

• 25:03Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, I suppose you could be right. What I meant was, I can still go like that, but it takes me longer.

• 25:10Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, longer fuse.

• 25:11Declan Donnelly?

  Is that a longer fuse?

• 25:12Ant McPartlin?

  Before the explosion, the fuse is longer.

• 25:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, possibly, yes.

• 25:15Ant McPartlin?

  Whereas your fuse was shorter in your twenties when you were doing Wonky Donkey. Why did those kids at Wonky Donkey wind you up? I mean, they wound us both up, but you up more than me. Why?

• 25:28Declan Donnelly?

  It's a game with one rule. It's got to rhyme. So when they come on and waste our time with giving us answers that didn't rhyme, you're like, you've fallen at the first hurdle. It's a waste of time.

• 25:40Ant McPartlin?

  See, that fuse has shortened again, hasn't it?

• 25:43Declan Donnelly?

  It's in there, isn't it? It's still in there.

• 25:44Ant McPartlin?

  Fuse is shortened again.

• 25:45Declan Donnelly?

  I've worked a lot on myself over the years to lengthen that fuse. Wonky Donkey was an idea of a couple of our writers, Richard Predy and Gary Howe. It was in the early days of SMTV Live.

• 25:56Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 25:56Declan Donnelly?

  And we went on like an away day to come up with some ideas because we didn't have very many. And then we went out for drinks afterwards and we were on a minibus going somewhere.

• 26:04Ant McPartlin?

  One of them pitched it to us.

• 26:04Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, he said, I've had an idea for a game. He said it's Wonky Donkey.

• 26:08Ant McPartlin?

  I think his daughter had a book or something.

• 26:10Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe.

• 26:10Ant McPartlin?

  That he got the idea. There was a book. Yeah, which gave him the idea.

• 26:14Declan Donnelly?

  And it was all about animals and you had to, the only rule was it had to rhyme.

• 26:20Ant McPartlin?

  We wanted ideas for competitions where people could phone in and take part, which was kind of the thing on Saturday morning television. There was another one called All Hands on Deck where Deck was stood behind a piece of card and there was loads of different numbered hands on him. And the callers had to, they had like a split second to guess how many hands were on deck. Do you remember the theme tune to that one? All hands, all hands, all hands on deck.

• 26:46Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh, misses.

• 26:46Ant McPartlin?

  There you go. So that ran for a little while, then Wonky Donkey took its place. But Wonky Donkey hung around for a long time because some of us would get more angry with the inept members of the public who couldn't get the rule right.

• 26:59Declan Donnelly?

  Just one rule, guys, it's got to rhyme.

• 27:01Ant McPartlin?

  We should do it again, Wonky Donkey.

• 27:03Declan Donnelly?

  Do you reckon?

• 27:04Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we should. Do you think people would take part?

• 27:07Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 27:07Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you reckon?

• 27:09Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know if we could still do it. I mean, what would Wonky Donkey look like today?

• 27:16Declan Donnelly?

  Well, what do you know?

• 27:17Ant McPartlin?

  Wow.

• 27:17Declan Donnelly?

  He's got a clipboard.

• 27:18Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 27:19Declan Donnelly?

  I've got the horn. It must be time for an updated game of Wonky Donkey.

• 27:27Ant McPartlin?

  Donkey, come on everyone. Wonky Donkey.

• 27:33Ant McPartlin?

  That's a very small horn you've got there.

• 27:34Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, don't worry. I've got a bigger one down here.

• 27:38Ant McPartlin?

  That's better, I like it. Remind us of the rules, Deck.

• 27:41Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, we've got a donkey here, but he's missing a leg. He's a donkey, but he's gone all wonky. He's a Wonky Donkey.

• 27:47Ant McPartlin?

  Wonky Donkey.

• 27:47Declan Donnelly?

  You need to tell us the animal and what situation it's in. What's?

• 27:51Ant McPartlin?

  What's wrong with it?

• 27:52Declan Donnelly?

  What's up with it? What is it? But remember, there's only one rule. It's got to rhyme.

• 27:58Ant McPartlin?

  I've got loads of people waiting on the line. When we get to you, I remember how annoying that was. When we get to you, it's very simple. You've got to give us two words and they have to rhyme. You've got 10 seconds to have as many guesses as you want. If we don't get it, we move on to the next caller. Understood?

• 28:18Declan Donnelly?

  Understood.

• 28:19Ant McPartlin?

  All right, move the donkey.

• 28:23Declan Donnelly?

  You can have it.

• 28:24Speaker 02

  If you're listening and want to play along with Wonky Donkey this week, the item is a hunting dog with brown, black and white markings wearing a crown. And here is your audio cue.

• 28:38Ant McPartlin?

  Right, let's go to the first caller. We have Jenny Concanon from London. Hello Jenny.

• 28:44Ant McPartlin?

  Hello Jenny. Doesn't get any easier, does it?

• 28:46Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 28:47Ant McPartlin?

  Even after all these years. Hello. Hello Jenny! Are you ready to play the updated version of Wonky Donkey? I'm ready.

• 28:55Declan Donnelly?

  Are you excited?

• 28:57Ant McPartlin?

  I'm very excited. Me too. You know the rules, don't you? We're gonna show you an animal. You've gotta tell us the animal and what's up with it. But there's one rule and one rule only.

• 29:06Declan Donnelly?

  It's gonna rhyme!

• 29:07Ant McPartlin?

  Here it is. There's the animal. Your 10 seconds starts now! Uh, p- puppy. Lucky, lucky puppy. No!

• 29:16Declan Donnelly?

  Try again.

• 29:18Ant McPartlin?

  Keep guessing. Uh, uh... Come on! Royal dog.

• 29:23Declan Donnelly?

  Royal dog! Doesn't rhyme, does it Jenny?

• 29:26Ant McPartlin?

  No Jenny, I'm afraid that's it. You're out of time. Let's go, give her a big one of them. Give her a... Well, let's go to Nicola Hilliard from Manchester. Hello Nicola.

• 29:37Declan Donnelly?

  How's your day going? So far, very excited for this though.

• 29:40Ant McPartlin?

  Good, okay.

• 29:41Declan Donnelly?

  We are excited too.

• 29:42Ant McPartlin?

  It's right behind us. Your 10 seconds starts now. What is it? Dog in a crown. Uh, crown, dog, royal dog, uh... Come on, go on. Royal, um... Come on! Oh! Dog in a crown?

• 29:57Declan Donnelly?

  Royal dog again.

• 29:58Ant McPartlin?

  Royal dog's not royal dog, and it's not dog in the crown. Because those two things don't...

• 30:03Declan Donnelly?

  They don't rhyme!

• 30:04Ant McPartlin?

  They don't rhyme!

• 30:05Declan Donnelly?

  Come on Nicola, you know that. You're better than that!

• 30:09Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, let's move on to Jamie Thomas from Buckinghamshire.

• 30:13Declan Donnelly?

  He's gonna be good.

• 30:13Ant McPartlin?

  Hello Jamie Thomas.

• 30:15Declan Donnelly?

  Hello.

• 30:16Ant McPartlin?

  Hello. Are you excited Jamie?

• 30:19Declan Donnelly?

  I'm very, very excited.

• 30:21Ant McPartlin?

  Now let your voice know.

• 30:24Declan Donnelly?

  From Buckinghamshire.

• 30:26Ant McPartlin?

  From Buckinghamshire, right.

• 30:27Declan Donnelly?

  Where the king lives.

• 30:28Ant McPartlin?

  Right, 10 seconds. Starts now. What's this?

• 30:32Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, uh, uh... Come on Jamie, you can do it. Uh, king, king, king.

• 30:43Ant McPartlin?

  Time up, Jamie.

• 30:44Declan Donnelly?

  You didn't even say a word, man.

• 30:46Ant McPartlin?

  King, oh, king, king, oh, king. That's not really playing, is it?

• 30:51Declan Donnelly?

  It was king awful, that's what it was. King terrible.

• 30:55Ant McPartlin?

  Um, we need, we need someone to win a mug.

• 31:00Declan Donnelly?

  We've got this mug to give away.

• 31:02Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, okay, next we have Amy Green from Leeds. Hello, Amy.

• 31:07Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, guys. Hi, Amy.

• 31:09Ant McPartlin?

  She sounds chirpy.

• 31:10Declan Donnelly?

  I've got high hopes for Amy.

• 31:11Ant McPartlin?

  She's, Amy, good luck, right? Your 10 seconds starts now. What is it? What is it?

• 31:17Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, puppy, queen puppy, oh, we've got a couple of them doing this, um. Queen puppy?

• 31:24Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 31:25Declan Donnelly?

  K9 royalty, royalty, K9.

• 31:28Ant McPartlin?

  No time up.

• 31:30Declan Donnelly?

  K9 royalty.

• 31:30Ant McPartlin?

  K9 royalty.

• 31:31Declan Donnelly?

  Still don't get the rules, do you? Still don't get it, do you?

• 31:35Ant McPartlin?

  K9 royalty, that's the worst one yet.

• 31:38Declan Donnelly?

  That's the worst one yet. It's even worse than Royal Dog.

• 31:41Ant McPartlin?

  K9 royalty, she's lengthened the words, makes them harder to say. Someone's got to get this mug. We have Gemma the animator from Newcastle.

• 31:51Declan Donnelly?

  Come on, Gemma.

• 31:52Ant McPartlin?

  Come on, Gemma. We're counting on you.

• 31:54Speaker 06

  Hello.

• 31:54Ant McPartlin?

  Right, Gemma.

• 31:55Declan Donnelly?

  How's the tune?

• 31:56Speaker 06

  I missed the tune, I'm in London.

• 31:58Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that's a shame, isn't it?

• 31:59Declan Donnelly?

  Very fancy.

• 32:00Ant McPartlin?

  Hang on, we've enough of this small talk, we've got to get a mug to give away. Right, 10 seconds, starting now, what's this?

• 32:05Speaker 06

  Regal Beagle.

• 32:10Ant McPartlin?

  Gemma, well done, Gemma.

• 32:13Declan Donnelly?

  Finally, finally, Gemma.

• 32:16Ant McPartlin?

  Gemma, yes it is, a Regal Beagle. Uh, just proves that it's just as tough now as it was back then. And people are just as thick as they were back then. But not you, Gemma, not you, you win the mug, we'll send you the mug. Thanks for playing. Thanks for playing Wocky Donkey.

• 32:31Declan Donnelly?

  Congratulations, Gemma.

• 32:32Ant McPartlin?

  One more time.

• 32:33Declan Donnelly?

  That was Wocky Donkey.

• 32:47Declan Donnelly?

  This podcast is brought to you by Gemini, Google's personal AI assistant. So you're trying to expand your vocabulary?

• 32:54Ant McPartlin?

  I am.

• 32:54Declan Donnelly?

  So you want more?

• 32:55Ant McPartlin?

  I want more words I can use.

• 32:58Declan Donnelly?

  Round the kids.

• 32:59Ant McPartlin?

  That's swear words.

• 33:01Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, that always helps.

• 33:03Ant McPartlin?

  Shall I use Gemini?

• 33:04Declan Donnelly?

  Give it a bash.

• 33:04Ant McPartlin?

  Shall I?

• 33:05Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 33:05Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 33:06Declan Donnelly?

  See what they can come up with.

• 33:07Ant McPartlin?

  Hi Gemini, what are some baby friendly words I can use instead of swear words?

• 33:13Speaker 02

  That's a good idea. You could use silly words like blimey or jeepers.

• 33:19Declan Donnelly?

  Is there anything a bit more modern, a bit more Gen Z?

• 33:23Speaker 02

  In that case, you could use things like bra, that's wild, or just a dramatic oof.

• 33:31Ant McPartlin?

  I mean, if I say the word bra, it feels like I'm trying a bit too hard. Gemini, what does beast mode mean?

• 33:40Speaker 02

  It means putting in maximum effort and determination to achieve something. Does that make sense?

• 33:46Ant McPartlin?

  It does. I could use that.

• 33:47Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 33:48Ant McPartlin?

  You should enter beast mode when tidying those toys away.

• 33:52Declan Donnelly?

  Huh? Bruh.

  Are you back on the screen again?

• 34:25Declan Donnelly?

  Fancy a bit of diary?

• 34:26Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I do fancy a bit of diary.

• 34:27Declan Donnelly?

  Already giving you a little teaser that we're off to Maidstone.

• 34:30Ant McPartlin?

  Now, it's either for, trying to think of the TV show that we done in Maidstone. What's up doc? Maybe?

• 34:38Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe?

• 34:39Ant McPartlin?

  Ah!

• 34:40Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe. Have we got any jingles or anything?

• 34:43Speaker 02

  We do.

• 34:43Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, we do?

• 34:44Ant McPartlin?

  Hit us.

• 34:56Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, the Toodle Pips.

• 34:57Ant McPartlin?

  I mean, it's less of a diary jingle, more of a jingle for...

• 35:01Declan Donnelly?

  For the whole show.

• 35:01Ant McPartlin?

  For the whole show, it's good.

• 35:03Declan Donnelly?

  I like it.

• 35:04Ant McPartlin?

  The Toodle Pips, thank you Toodle Pips.

• 35:06Declan Donnelly?

  See you later.

• 35:07Ant McPartlin?

  Toodle pip.

• 35:11Declan Donnelly?

  Fifteenth of April, nineteen ninety-four, day nineteen of life on the road. We should have been in Derby, but tonight's gig was called off.

• 35:19Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 35:20Declan Donnelly?

  For rehearsals for What's Up Doc.

• 35:23Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, yes, in Maidstone, Kent.

• 35:25Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, so we stayed in Maidstone.

• 35:28Ant McPartlin?

  We did.

• 35:28Declan Donnelly?

  In the same hotel as last time.

• 35:31Ant McPartlin?

  Hotel, why'd you say that?

• 35:33Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know.

• 35:33Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, right.

• 35:34Declan Donnelly?

  A bloody lovely one.

• 35:36Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I remember, it was nice.

• 35:37Declan Donnelly?

  Lovely hotel in Maidstone.

• 35:38Ant McPartlin?

  Because where we used to stay, um, on these promotional tours and they weren't good, were they? There was a lot of travelages.

• 35:46Declan Donnelly?

  And not just...

• 35:47Ant McPartlin?

  Travelings.

• 35:47Declan Donnelly?

  Not just travelages though, they were ones in service stations.

• 35:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 35:52Declan Donnelly?

  Who used to stay in, uh, those motels in services.

• 35:55Ant McPartlin?

  So this, by comparison, was like the rich.

• 35:58Declan Donnelly?

  It's luxury. It had a hairdryer and everything.

• 36:01Ant McPartlin?

  At last. I bet your hair looked lush on What's Up Doc.

• 36:05Declan Donnelly?

  I bet it did.

• 36:06Ant McPartlin?

  I bet it did, proper lush.

• 36:07Declan Donnelly?

  It was bloody Christmas.

• 36:08Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god, Dex looked so lush. His hair looked lush.

• 36:11Declan Donnelly?

  Did some pre-recording during the afternoon too, then went back to the hotel for a meal and stuff.

• 36:17Ant McPartlin?

  Stuff. What's the stuff? This is the detail we need to know, diary.

• 36:22Declan Donnelly?

  I know, I didn't know that back then.

• 36:24Ant McPartlin?

  Meal and stuff.

• 36:25Declan Donnelly?

  After dinner, we went outside and signed autographs. For anybody who wanted, anybody passing. Excuse me, would you like a autograph? Our TV plugger Matt arrived with his girlfriend.

• 36:37Ant McPartlin?

  Woo.

• 36:38Declan Donnelly?

  They went straight to his room.

• 36:40Ant McPartlin?

  Woo.

• 36:41Declan Donnelly?

  In brackets, way hey.

• 36:47Declan Donnelly?

  Just because a couple get to a hotel and go straight to a room, I don't know.

• 36:51Ant McPartlin?

  Is that what you did earlier when you mentioned, and stuff? Went back to the hotel for a meal and stuff.

• 36:57Declan Donnelly?

  I went to bed and slept.

• 36:59Ant McPartlin?

  And stuff.

• 37:01Declan Donnelly?

  And that's the end of the day. So we've got What's Up Doc tomorrow.

• 37:03Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, I look forward to that. You bet your hair's gonna look lush. Lush. We also hosted the King's Trust Celebrates Success Awards, right?

• 37:13Declan Donnelly?

  For its 50th anniversary.

• 37:15Ant McPartlin?

  50th anniversary.

• 37:16Declan Donnelly?

  Of the King's Trust.

• 37:16Ant McPartlin?

  Well, lots of people have kind of seen the footage of us talking to King Charles and Camilla on the red carpet and then, what did he say? What did he say to us again?

• 37:25Declan Donnelly?

  He came up to us and we were backstage and we were getting ready to do the show. And suddenly somebody came in and said, you've got to go to the red carpet. You have to go and greet the King and Queen. We're like, oh, okay. That's a really normal thing for somebody to say. So we went outside and then up the car.

• 37:39Ant McPartlin?

  And nobody else was there?

• 37:40Declan Donnelly?

  Nobody else was there. Well, like, where did we stand? They went, oh, somewhere around there. So there was nobody else there. It was just us two and the King and Queen came up.

• 37:47Ant McPartlin?

  So we were like, well, do we help them out of the car? Like, I don't get it. Like, why are we just there on our own? It was just weird.

• 37:53Declan Donnelly?

  So they came up to us and the King spotted us and obviously we've worked with him a few times. So he came and he pointed at us.

• 37:59Ant McPartlin?

  Worked with him?

• 38:01Declan Donnelly?

  Well, we've been to the documentary.

• 38:04Ant McPartlin?

  He did the, uh, he did Britain's Got More Talent for a few years. Oh, no, that's Steve Muller. I always get those two mixed up.

• 38:11Declan Donnelly?

  Well, we've worked with him. We've did the documentary 10 years ago. And he pointed to us and he came over and he said something along the lines of.

• 38:17Ant McPartlin?

  I remember this bit.

• 38:17Declan Donnelly?

  He went, oh, they've dragged you out again, have they? We said, yes, sir. And he said, um, what is it now, 14 or 15 years you've been hosting this? Something like that. And then he, he started to walk off and he stopped and he turned and he went, I look forward to all the jokes.

• 38:33Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, is that what he said?

• 38:34Declan Donnelly?

  That's what he said.

• 38:34Ant McPartlin?

  What did you say?

• 38:35Declan Donnelly?

  I said, you might be waiting a long time, sir.

• 38:36Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah.

• 38:37Declan Donnelly?

  There aren't many. But actually, more than that, we, we went and did the show. And then like three quarters of the way through the show, we had this idea to switch places with the King and Queen because they were going to come down on stage to do a speech. And the Royal Box was empty. So.

• 38:56Ant McPartlin?

  So we went up to the Royal Box and the voiceover person says, please welcome back on stage, the nation's favourite double act. And people presumed it would be us two. But it wasn't and we were in the Royal Box and then this, they walked on, King and Queen walked on the stage.

• 39:12Declan Donnelly?

  They got a massive stand ovation.

• 39:13Ant McPartlin?

  And then we were like, stop, stop. It's been a terrible mix up.

• 39:16Declan Donnelly?

  So we're up in the Royal Box at this point, going, stop, stop. And the King and Queen stop and everybody stops and looks up. And we kind of go, oh, actually, I could get, I could get used to this. This is quite nice. Anne says he's always fancied having his head on a stamp.

• 39:29Ant McPartlin?

  That's sad.

• 39:30Declan Donnelly?

  Have to be a big stamp though, wouldn't it? Have to be a massive stamp.

• 39:33Ant McPartlin?

  Rude.

• 39:33Declan Donnelly?

  But, so it was a very quick changeover. So the king and queen had come down and they were waiting in the wings and we linked into a VT and then we had to run up to the royal box to get up there in time.

• 39:43Ant McPartlin?

  And someone said, you'll probably pass him on the stairs. So if he, if he starts talking to you, just ignore him because you need to get up to. You can't just ignore him.

• 39:51Speaker 06

  You know, the king.

• 39:52Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I know. What if he just starts talking to you about, I don't know, the drama with Robert Pattinson? He might have seen it. He might want to talk about the moral scruples.

• 39:59Declan Donnelly?

  Or how much he likes mint sauce.

• 40:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 40:01Declan Donnelly?

  Um.

• 40:02Ant McPartlin?

  On everything.

• 40:02Declan Donnelly?

  But so Anne said, well, we can't ignore him if it's the king and queen. We can't just ignore him. And so he said, okay, maybe give him a high five on the way past. Like, we're not going to do that either.

• 40:11Ant McPartlin?

  That was for you. Was that you? That's the kind of thing that you'd say.

• 40:14Declan Donnelly?

  So we link into the VT and then somebody goes, quick, run, you've got to get upstairs.

• 40:19Ant McPartlin?

  That was me. You were watching the VT.

• 40:21Declan Donnelly?

  I was watching the VT. It started with Stephen Fry. I was like, oh, I love Stephen Fry.

• 40:24Ant McPartlin?

  Loads of celebrities saying, happy birthday and, you know, how wonderful 50 years of the King's Trust is. And then he gets lost in watching the VT, but we're not meant to watch it. We're meant to, because we've only got like a minute and a half to get up there before we have to start talking. And I'm like, pssst, get a move on. So yeah, I drag him off stage in the dark and we make our way off stage right.

• 40:46Declan Donnelly?

  And as we're going, it's lined with people either side is really busy in the wings and I can't see anything because there's a light shining outside and everything's dark at the inside. And as I'm running past, a voice goes, come on, hurry up. It was the king.

• 41:03Declan Donnelly?

  And I, it wasn't until I got past, I went, I think that was the king.

• 41:08Speaker 06

  What's in it? Did they leave any tissues behind on their seat?

• 41:10Ant McPartlin?

  They've got really comfy seats.

• 41:11Declan Donnelly?

  And cushions.

• 41:12Ant McPartlin?

  And cushions and drapes on the inside of the box. No more teasers.

• 41:17Declan Donnelly?

  There's no snacks.

• 41:18Ant McPartlin?

  No, no snacks. No, no, wasn't even a coffee or.

• 41:22Declan Donnelly?

  I thought they might have a sneaky tang fastics down here then, but nah.

• 41:26Ant McPartlin?

  Nah, none of that. Can't really be caught eating though, can he? You know, like if there's a shot of them halfway through, you know, like at the Royal Variety Performance, you'd never say a shot of them.

• 41:34Declan Donnelly?

  He's just got, he's just got a big fizzy drink.

• 41:38Ant McPartlin?

  Eating a giant bag of Monster Munch. And how would you eat them? You'd bite off the toes, don't you, individually before you pop it in? That takes a long time. So you're bound to get caught. That's probably why they don't eat a monster munch.

• 41:50Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 41:50Ant McPartlin?

  Because you don't just throw a monster munch in there. Am I the only one? How do you eat a monster munch?

• 41:54Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm.

• 41:54Ant McPartlin?

  You bite off the toes.

• 41:56Declan Donnelly?

  Sometimes I do, yeah.

• 41:57Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 41:58Declan Donnelly?

  Not every single one.

• 42:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's the fun of it.

• 42:02Declan Donnelly?

  Every single monster munch you bite off the toes?

• 42:04Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. They've only got four. Then you put the circle in.

• 42:10Ant McPartlin?

  How do you eat, say, a cheese and onion macaw? Or like something that's got really good taste? Lick it first?

• 42:16Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 42:17Ant McPartlin?

  What? Put it on the roof of your mouth and then suck it.

• 42:21Declan Donnelly?

  Just eat it, just put it in your mouth and chew it.

• 42:23Speaker 06

  I'd lick a Pringle.

• 42:25Ant McPartlin?

  I don't like Pringles.

• 42:26Declan Donnelly?

  They're like genetically modified food Pringles, aren't they? There's nothing real, there's no potato in it.

• 42:31Speaker 06

  You could eat a skip because it could just dissolve. You could do it very discreetly.

• 42:35Declan Donnelly?

  I haven't had a skip for years.

• 42:36Ant McPartlin?

  We haven't had skips for years.

• 42:37Declan Donnelly?

  Let's do like a retro crisps thing, like skips, quavers, frizzles, sort of anything, a disco's, hula hoops, space raiders.

• 42:47Ant McPartlin?

  Space raiders.

• 42:50Ant McPartlin?

  Come on in, postman.

• 42:51Declan Donnelly?

  Here it is. Here we go, here's a few letters.

• 42:53Ant McPartlin?

  Go on here, hi guys.

• 42:54Declan Donnelly?

  Hi.

• 42:55Ant McPartlin?

  Every year I hope you might do an official Anthony Decker calendar. But do you? Do you? Do you? No, you don't, do you?

• 43:05Ant McPartlin?

  Do you really?

• 43:06Declan Donnelly?

  More like a naked one, like the Women's Institute. With the buns and all that.

• 43:10Ant McPartlin?

  Oh yeah, do that. Have you thought about doing one? No?

• 43:14Declan Donnelly?

  No. We did one back in the day, PJ and Duncan.

• 43:17Ant McPartlin?

  I still have the one that you brought out for Childline in 2009.

• 43:21Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 43:22Ant McPartlin?

  But I would love you to do one with new photos from a proper photo shoot. So it's just one one from like a phone.

• 43:28Declan Donnelly?

  Not from Instagram.

• 43:29Ant McPartlin?

  She wants a proper photo shoot. Not just pics from your TV shows.

• 43:32Declan Donnelly?

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 43:33Ant McPartlin?

  She wants a proper photo shoot. Lots of love, Sophie. P S, please can we see Anthony's motorbike leathers? Asking for a friend.

• 43:42Ant McPartlin?

  Well, maybe I could do that for the calendar.

• 43:44Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, that could be definitely July.

• 43:46Ant McPartlin?

  November. Well, July.

• 43:48Declan Donnelly?

  Oh no, you don't want to wear leathers in July.

• 43:50Ant McPartlin?

  You don't want to wear leathers in July.

• 43:51Declan Donnelly?

  Shall we do a calendar?

• 43:52Speaker 06

  Do you want a hanging out calendar?

• 43:53Declan Donnelly?

  A hanging out calendar.

• 43:54Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, we can do a hanging out calendar. We could do one.

• 43:57Declan Donnelly?

  Let's do it.

• 43:58Ant McPartlin?

  We could do one. I mean, I'm not going to do a proper photo shoot because I don't love a photo shoot.

• 44:03Declan Donnelly?

  What do you mean?

• 44:04Ant McPartlin?

  Well.

• 44:04Declan Donnelly?

  They're quite boring, aren't they?

• 44:05Ant McPartlin?

  They're boring. I mean, I bet they look fun, but they're not, are they? They're quite repetitive.

• 44:10Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 44:10Ant McPartlin?

  But we could do one. We don't need to have a proper photo shoot, we could do one here.

• 44:14Declan Donnelly?

  We don't need a proper photographer, we'll just have Fiona.

• 44:16Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, exactly, someone who has work experience.

• 44:19Declan Donnelly?

  Have you ever done Still Life?

• 44:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, loads.

• 44:21Ant McPartlin?

  Have you?

• 44:22Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 44:22Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, good. You can take the photos and we'll pause, okay?

• 44:26Speaker 06

  That works, yeah.

• 44:27Ant McPartlin?

  All right.

• 44:30Ant McPartlin?

  That's how it works.

• 44:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, good, good, good.

• 44:32Ant McPartlin?

  Well, thank you, Sophie. Um, thank you for wanting a calendar of us in it.

• 44:36Declan Donnelly?

  So we just-

• 44:36Ant McPartlin?

  Strange request, but we'll do it for you.

• 44:38Declan Donnelly?

  And we just need one copy. Sophie's the only one who wants one.

• 44:40Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 44:40Declan Donnelly?

  It's just for you, Sophie.

• 44:41Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, nobody else wants a copy of our calendar, do they?

• 44:43Declan Donnelly?

  This is from Charlotte and Sebastian. Dear Ant Dec, Charlotte here.

• 44:47Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, Charlotte.

• 44:47Declan Donnelly?

  Listening to your podcast from Basel in Switzerland.

• 44:50Ant McPartlin?

  Ooh, isn't you? Stick that in the map.

• 44:52Declan Donnelly?

  Stick that in the flag, stick a flag in that.

• 44:54Ant McPartlin?

  Stick a flag in it.

• 44:55Declan Donnelly?

  Stick a flag in it. I figured you might also enjoy knowing you played a part in a love story. Sebastian is an ex-colleague and used to live a few blocks away from me. We became good friends and one evening in 2020, when he was over for a meal, I told him that I'm a Celebrity was starting that night. Being from Argentina, he'd never heard of the programme, nor of Aunt and Dec.

• 45:16Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 45:17Declan Donnelly?

  So he decided to stay to watch the first show.

• 45:19Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 45:20Declan Donnelly?

  He then proceeded to come over every evening for the next three weeks to watch the show with me. Nothing better than a good giggle over mostly unknown celebrities eating penises to bring two people closer together, eh?

• 45:31Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, yeah, I agree.

• 45:32Declan Donnelly?

  I thought he was enjoying the show, but he later told me he just wanted an excuse to hang out with me.

• 45:37Ant McPartlin?

  Ah.

• 45:38Declan Donnelly?

  We are now married and every year we watch I'm a Celeb as a family tradition. We are now also expecting our first child.

• 45:45Ant McPartlin?

  Ah.

• 45:46Declan Donnelly?

  But don't worry, Aunt, if it's a boy, we won't call him Dec.

• 45:51Declan Donnelly?

  I would reconsider that, Charlotte.

• 45:52Ant McPartlin?

  Now, hold on, but they're not calling him Aunt. It said, don't worry, Aunt, if it's a boy, we won't call him Dec. She hasn't then said, but we'll call him Aunt or Anthony.

• 46:02Declan Donnelly?

  P.S. Don't worry, Dec, we're not calling him Aunt either.

• 46:08Declan Donnelly?

  Respect guys. Lots of love, Charlotte and Sebastian. That is so lovely.

• 46:13Ant McPartlin?

  Is it? It was nice until the end of the letter.

• 46:15Declan Donnelly?

  But what a lovely story.

• 46:17Ant McPartlin?

  Hmm.

• 46:17Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you guys. And we'll think of you next time we start on I'm a Celebrity. We'll think, oh, Charlotte and Sebastian are curled up watching this.

• 46:28Ant McPartlin?

  Now, I was talking to a friend of mine, not you, but a different friend.

• 46:34Declan Donnelly?

  What do you mean, another friend? You've got another friend?

• 46:36Ant McPartlin?

  About tattoos.

• 46:37Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, right.

• 46:37Ant McPartlin?

  He wants one. He's never had one before. He wants one.

• 46:40Declan Donnelly?

  Does he want us to design one for him?

• 46:41Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, no, he doesn't. But he got me thinking. We haven't talked about tattoos for a while.

• 46:44Declan Donnelly?

  We haven't.

• 46:44Ant McPartlin?

  And I've noticed my, um, full body is over there, my torso.

• 46:48Declan Donnelly?

  Grab it in. We have, we have had a few more designs.

• 46:50Ant McPartlin?

  Good. Well, I hope so, because time's ticking. Clock is ticking.

• 46:55Declan Donnelly?

  It's getting closer.

• 46:55Ant McPartlin?

  It's gonna happen soon. I'm definitely up for doing it. I don't, I think we need to streamline.

• 47:01Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I was gonna ask you, because you've got quite a few on your body.

• 47:04Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 47:04Declan Donnelly?

  Do you wanna prune any of these now that you've seen quite a few?

• 47:06Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I do. I'm gonna get rid of this one, this upside down face. Under the armpit, armpit hair face.

• 47:12Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I like that one.

• 47:12Ant McPartlin?

  No, I'm getting rid of that. That's not gonna happen.

• 47:14Declan Donnelly?

  That's funny. It's a good conversation starter.

• 47:16Ant McPartlin?

  The two sexy, nice, cheeky monkeys.

• 47:19Declan Donnelly?

  They've only been on a week.

• 47:20Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, they're going. They're going. Um, I'm gonna get rid of the hello, my name is Anne badge.

• 47:26Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, what?

• 47:28Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I'm just, if this is gonna happen on my body, it's my body, Declan.

• 47:33Declan Donnelly?

  Are you still thinking of Sam and Carol on your calf?

• 47:35Ant McPartlin?

  Leave them there for now.

• 47:38Declan Donnelly?

  Ed bananas on your thigh?

• 47:39Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, no, get rid of that.

• 47:40Declan Donnelly?

  Ed bananas on your thigh.

• 47:42Ant McPartlin?

  They're going. So what are we left with? Uh, no, get rid of that.

• 47:45Declan Donnelly?

  The banana edge of the north?

• 47:47Ant McPartlin?

  The banana, it just looks weird, doesn't it? It looks a bit phallic and a bit wrong. And I like my bananas. Inside, not outside.

• 47:57Ant McPartlin?

  Why are you laughing at that?

• 47:59Declan Donnelly?

  How, how did they get in there?

• 48:01Ant McPartlin?

  I hated, of course, you dirty-minded simpletons.

• 48:04Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, okay.

• 48:05Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, so what's left? We've got the boomerang.

• 48:08Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 48:09Ant McPartlin?

  Which has the time bridge, the angel of the north, the moon and the scorpion star sign.

• 48:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 48:15Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, and the longitude and latitude of Newcastle.

• 48:17Declan Donnelly?

  We like that a lot.

• 48:18Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we like that. This other one, which is the Saturday night takeaway pizza box.

• 48:23Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 48:23Ant McPartlin?

  With respect, guys, and bananas around it.

• 48:25Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 48:25Ant McPartlin?

  I like that, but we've got that on this other one. So we need, we need to cut this one out and I need to choose a couple from there.

• 48:31Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, we've got, we've got a smorgasbord up here of, of tattoos.

• 48:34Ant McPartlin?

  This is good words on this week's pod, isn't it?

• 48:36Declan Donnelly?

  Um, we need to, yeah, we need to whittle these down a little bit.

• 48:40Ant McPartlin?

  And I, I can't, obviously.

• 48:42Declan Donnelly?

  That one can never move.

• 48:43Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean?

• 48:44Declan Donnelly?

  The belly button.

• 48:44Ant McPartlin?

  I'm never gonna have that.

• 48:45Declan Donnelly?

  The belly button can never move.

• 48:47Ant McPartlin?

  What, the golfer hitting the golf ball into me belly button and then a flag's coming out of the belly button with 18 on it.

• 48:52Declan Donnelly?

  It's a great conversation starter.

• 48:54Ant McPartlin?

  What, what, by what?

• 48:55Declan Donnelly?

  I get, I.

• 48:56Ant McPartlin?

  What is the conversation gonna be?

• 48:57Declan Donnelly?

  Look at this.

• 49:00Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, look at this, tech left it on.

• 49:02Declan Donnelly?

  Um, I.

• 49:03Ant McPartlin?

  Can we just take it off? It's not gonna happen.

• 49:04Declan Donnelly?

  No, I get to, the rules are I get to override you on one design.

• 49:08Ant McPartlin?

  No, the, that was never the rules. That was never the rules.

• 49:11Declan Donnelly?

  I've just made that up.

• 49:12Ant McPartlin?

  You get to override me on one design.

• 49:13Declan Donnelly?

  So I get to keep, I get to keep one design on the body.

• 49:15Ant McPartlin?

  Well, there's not a lot left on there now.

• 49:17Declan Donnelly?

  No, there's Simon Cowell on your cough. Simon Cowell on your cough. Golfer on your belly.

• 49:24Ant McPartlin?

  A boomerang on your arm.

• 49:27Declan Donnelly?

  A smorgasbord on your chesty. So that's where we are now. However, we've got some new designs.

• 49:35Ant McPartlin?

  Hallelujah. Thank the Lord.

• 49:37Declan Donnelly?

  Waded in.

• 49:39Ant McPartlin?

  Specs on?

• 49:39Declan Donnelly?

  Specs on, he means business. Check this out. Dear Ant and Dec, me and my son Harry all love him watching the podcast and everything about the box too.

• 49:47Ant McPartlin?

  Thanks, Harry.

• 49:48Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks, Wayne and Harry.

• 49:49Ant McPartlin?

  Wayne?

• 49:50Declan Donnelly?

  Wayne and Harry.

• 49:51Ant McPartlin?

  Thanks, Wayne and Harry.

• 49:52Declan Donnelly?

  We've designed a tattoo and we would love to know what you think and rate it in bananas, obviously. It's an Ant and Dec Ying and Yang. As you work so well together and have done for so long, this seemed perfect as you complete each other. It covers Ant's love of bananas and Dec's love of eggs. Let us know. Respect, guys. Wayne and Harry.

• 50:13Ant McPartlin?

  Wayne and Harry.

• 50:16Ant McPartlin?

  It's not bad. There's one side of it I love. The banana side, the egg side. I never, ever thought about getting an egg tattooed on my body. So unfortunately, it works.

• 50:29Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 50:29Ant McPartlin?

  In terms, it works as a tattoo.

• 50:31Declan Donnelly?

  Where will it go?

• 50:32Ant McPartlin?

  No, no, but I, I don't think it goes on the body.

• 50:34Declan Donnelly?

  Not at all.

• 50:35Ant McPartlin?

  No. So out of eight bananas, it's a four. Because, because I give, I give one half, and I don't like the other half. Sorry. Sorry though.

• 50:45Declan Donnelly?

  Got one here from Frankie. Aren't you got tattoos that mean something to you?

• 50:47Ant McPartlin?

  Who you been talking to?

• 50:48Declan Donnelly?

  But this one is the ultimate tribute to the guy who's been by your side through everything. It's a sound you hear every single day, the soundtrack to your entire career. And the good thing is, it instantly puts you in a good mood.

• 51:00Ant McPartlin?

  Does it?

• 51:01Declan Donnelly?

  It's Dex's laugh.

• 51:03Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 51:03Declan Donnelly?

  The idea is you get a recording of one of Dex's classic uncontrollable giggles. Then you get the sound wave pattern of that exact laugh tattooed onto your forearm or wrist. It looks like a cool, abstract, modern geometric design to anyone else. However, it's not just static ink. Using sound wave tattoo technology, you can literally open an app. What? Hang on a minute. However, it's not just a static link. Using sound wave tattoo technology, you can literally open an app, scan your arm with your phone, and it will instantly play an audio of Dex laughing. That's amazing. When, when do we do it?

• 51:35Ant McPartlin?

  That is quite cool. I have, it has to be said.

• 51:37Declan Donnelly?

  But just not of my laugh.

• 51:38Ant McPartlin?

  I think visually it would have to look good. If, if it looks like a QR code, then I'm gonna, I'm not gonna enjoy that.

• 51:45Speaker 06

  It'd be like a sound wave.

• 51:46Ant McPartlin?

  But then you would still scan the sound wave and then you'd be able to hear it. See, I like the technology side, I like.

• 51:51Declan Donnelly?

  I like that.

• 51:52Ant McPartlin?

  That's good. I might do that, but I do it with me kids.

• 51:55Declan Donnelly?

  Well, that wasn't the deal.

• 51:56Ant McPartlin?

  As well, I should add, as well as yours. What we need to do then is get your laugh as a sound wave visually to see what it looks like.

• 52:06Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 52:07Ant McPartlin?

  Cause if it just looks weird, then it's gonna be an oh. But at least, at least let's take it to the next stage.

• 52:12Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 52:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah?

• 52:13Declan Donnelly?

  Let's pick a good laugh. Well, could we get one off the sausage making video maybe? Or, um, which one?

• 52:19Speaker 06

  Banana world record laugh.

• 52:21Declan Donnelly?

  Banana world record laugh?

• 52:22Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 52:23Declan Donnelly?

  There are lots of laughs on Bella Box. Um, if you haven't seen them all, please like and subscribe. I've got one here from Leila, she hasn't really, um, got into detail on it.

• 52:34Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 52:34Declan Donnelly?

  She's just sent me bananas in a ring around the words, respect guys.

• 52:41Ant McPartlin?

  That's pretty good. That's pretty good, Leila.

• 52:44Declan Donnelly?

  It's bananas around respect and guys.

• 52:47Ant McPartlin?

  It's so simple.

• 52:48Declan Donnelly?

  I like it.

• 52:49Ant McPartlin?

  But it says a lot.

• 52:50Declan Donnelly?

  Are we putting it on the board?

• 52:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I think we are, because we took a lot off. So we need to put it on the, uh, yeah, that's it, put it on the arm there, because I reckon, I reckon I've got space here, look.

• 52:59Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yeah, look, that could be good.

• 53:01Ant McPartlin?

  Just there.

• 53:02Declan Donnelly?

  That's, that's a serious contender.

• 53:03Ant McPartlin?

  That's a serious contender. So should we take off the guy with the golf ball?

• 53:07Declan Donnelly?

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he can never be touched. He can never be touched. And then this goes to a vote, and if everybody votes for him.

• 53:14Ant McPartlin?

  This is going to a vote, absolutely not, this is my body. It's my body, not your body, your body, your body.

• 53:22Declan Donnelly?

  Shall I put?

• 53:23Ant McPartlin?

  I didn't mean to pause when I said your body, that's weird. As if like you've got a real say. I don't know, she does not have a say over my body. I don't know why, I don't want you to think that. I mean, it was a real pause, was it?

• 53:35Declan Donnelly?

  It was quite a moment, that. We don't have an example of the sound wave, so I'm just gonna put the letter on then. Just to remind us.

• 53:42Ant McPartlin?

  Until we get it.

• 53:43Declan Donnelly?

  Until we get it.

• 53:44Ant McPartlin?

  Okay. And can I pick a couple of these now that I would like blown up?

• 53:49Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 53:50Ant McPartlin?

  So I really like the Saturday Night Takeaway in the Peter Box.

• 53:55Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 53:56Ant McPartlin?

  I think that's really good. And there's something about the Psych, uh, CD that is just quite fun. It's quite fun, that. Good, okay, well.

• 54:06Declan Donnelly?

  Good.

• 54:06Speaker 06

  It's a shame, up guys.

• 54:08Ant McPartlin?

  Not really.

• 54:10Declan Donnelly?

  Any other tattoo designs, get them into us, hangingoutabella box dot com.

• 54:15Ant McPartlin?

  Any tattoo artists who wanna get involved and like elevate this whole thing would, it would be really handy, because at the minute.

• 54:24Ant McPartlin?

  It's not great, is it?

• 54:25Declan Donnelly?

  It's, it's not bad. It's not bad.

• 54:28Ant McPartlin?

  It's okay. It's just okay. And like I said, it's my body, so. It's gonna be there forever. So, you know, we wanna make sure it's right.

• 54:38Declan Donnelly?

  Belly button's still my favourite.

• 54:39Ant McPartlin?

  No, absolutely not.

• 54:42Declan Donnelly?

  That's about all we've got time for this week. We'll be back on Monday.

• 54:44Ant McPartlin?

  We didn't do Famous Guy Swaps things. We haven't got, ah, we've woven in. And we have had loads of things that people wanna swap.

• 54:51Declan Donnelly?

  They were for 400 quid.

• 54:52Ant McPartlin?

  Have you got the, have you, uh, have a look at these. If you didn't see last week's pod, these are the trainers Deck wants to swap.

• 54:58Declan Donnelly?

  I don't really want to swap them anymore because I found out they were for 400 quid, so I'd rather.

• 55:02Ant McPartlin?

  We looked online. No, you can't take them back now.

• 55:04Declan Donnelly?

  I'd sell them on eBay myself.

• 55:05Ant McPartlin?

  No, you can't take them back. You've put them up for a swap. We've had loads of people wanting to swap for these trainers. 400 pounds worth of trainer.

• 55:13Declan Donnelly?

  Well, so Fiona says.

• 55:14Ant McPartlin?

  So if you wanna swap, there's still time. We'll do it on next week's pod, so get your swaps in.

• 55:20Declan Donnelly?

  Can I see if they're still fit?

• 55:22Ant McPartlin?

  No, you can't see if they're still fit.

• 55:23Declan Donnelly?

  I was gonna run off in them.

• 55:24Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I know. It'll be quicker than them. Look at the Trojan bar on the bottom.

• 55:27Declan Donnelly?

  Um.

• 55:28Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, we'll do that next week. Sorry, no time for Famous Guy Swaps things, but we'll do it again next week. And that's, that's all we've got summer this week.

• 55:34Declan Donnelly?

  We'll be back on Monday with a bonus ep, uh, and then back next Thursday with the main pod. Until then.

• 55:39Ant McPartlin?

  Respect, guys.

• 55:40Declan Donnelly?

  Respect, guys. See you later.

• 55:41Ant McPartlin?

  Take them, because you'll steal them. Take them. Ha ha, unlucky.

• 55:44Declan Donnelly?

  They won't be here anymore.

• 55:54Speaker 00

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 55:56Speaker 01

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?

• 55:57Speaker 00

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

• 56:03Speaker 00

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

• 56:16Speaker 02

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

• 56:24Speaker 03

  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, the House Majority PAC dot com.
