  Chronic migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

• 0:35Speaker 02

  Botox, onabotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.

  Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

  Guys, we've just got a message. Apparently there's a bear.

• 2:03Ant McPartlin?

  Round here?

• 2:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, but we're doing this, we can't see it.

• 2:06Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you're joking?

• 2:07Declan Donnelly?

  Who's going to?

• 2:08Ant McPartlin?

  Go and tell them to hang on.

• 2:09Declan Donnelly?

  Are we on?

• 2:09Ant McPartlin?

  We're on.

• 2:10Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, hello, everybody. Welcome back to Canada for the final.

• 2:14Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, to our last Canadian adventure.

• 2:16Declan Donnelly?

  Canadian hanging out.

• 2:18Ant McPartlin?

  We should have called it that for a while.

• 2:19Declan Donnelly?

  And that's Canadian adventure.

• 2:21Ant McPartlin?

  We should have called it. Why didn't we think of that?

• 2:22Declan Donnelly?

  We've got lots of your email for a question and answer session.

• 2:27Ant McPartlin?

  Go get it, sport. I start calling them sport. It's good, isn't it? Well, well done, sport.

• 2:33Declan Donnelly?

  You're getting ready for Australia.

• 2:36Ant McPartlin?

  Buddy, I should call you buddy. Well done, buddy.

• 2:37Declan Donnelly?

  Whoa, postbag for the.

• 2:40Ant McPartlin?

  Look at that. I'm going to delve straight in.

• 2:43Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks for all your letters.

• 2:44Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you.

• 2:44Declan Donnelly?

  Keep them coming at this hanging out at bellabucks.com. Hi, Aunt and Dec.

• 2:49Ant McPartlin?

  Hi.

• 2:49Declan Donnelly?

  I have some breaking news.

• 2:50Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 2:53Declan Donnelly?

  You have a new biggest fan and he is not human.

• 2:57Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 2:59Declan Donnelly?

  He's my foie gras Konamara pony and he is a total legend, but also a total diva. When I'm trying to tack him up, he will not stand still. He dances around, tries to eat my phone and after my phone, he tries to eat me. He's a nightmare.

• 3:13Ant McPartlin?

  He's a hungry horse.

• 3:14Declan Donnelly?

  The other day I was sick of listening to music while tacking him up, so I thought I'd put the podcast on instead and you will not believe what happened.

• 3:21Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 3:22Declan Donnelly?

  Joey just stopped. He stood perfectly still. He put his ears forward and listened to you two chatting away. He was glued to the iPad. I think Joey is now officially obsessed with you guys. I had to stand there holding his saddle while he listened. So thank you so much for finally finding a way to make Joey behave. Lots of love from your two biggest fans, Emily and Joey the pony from County Clare in Ireland.

• 3:47Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that is a lovely letter.

• 3:49Declan Donnelly?

  And isn't Joey beautiful?

• 3:50Ant McPartlin?

  Look, if you zoom in, you can see you've got the iPad in front of the horse's eyes. Look there, you can see. Why don't we get ourselves round next to the bins? I'm sure the last episode of the pod to the bear.

• 4:03Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 4:03Declan Donnelly?

  See what happens.

• 4:04Speaker 05

  When Dex saw some of his friends.

• 4:05Ant McPartlin?

  Huh?

• 4:06Speaker 05

  When Dex saw some of his friends.

• 4:07Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean, Dex friends?

• 4:09Speaker 05

  The bear.

• 4:09Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe one of my bears that I spotted.

• 4:11Ant McPartlin?

  That never happened. That didn't happen. I've scrubbed that from my mind. Didn't happen. It's a work of fiction.

• 4:15Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks for bringing that up, Fiona.

• 4:16Ant McPartlin?

  Didn't happen.

• 4:17Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks for bringing that up.

• 4:18Ant McPartlin?

  Rift. Aunt and Dec rift.

• 4:19Declan Donnelly?

  That is brilliant.

• 4:20Ant McPartlin?

  Very good.

• 4:21Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you, Emily.

• 4:21Ant McPartlin?

  Any other animals that are fans of the pod, then please send us in any photos, any videos of them watching, because she could have just pointed the horse at her iPad.

• 4:31Declan Donnelly?

  I would not.

• 4:32Ant McPartlin?

  Just saying. Just saying.

• 4:33Declan Donnelly?

  I don't think Emily would have done that.

• 4:35Ant McPartlin?

  She could have just done that. So little video would go down very well. I've got one here. Hi, team.

• 4:42Declan Donnelly?

  Hey.

• 4:44Ant McPartlin?

  Love the pod. Thank you for all the epic chuckles. Stumbled across a good old Smash Hits magazine recently. Saw these Ten Commandments and thought the boys would like to revisit them. The cult of Aunt and Dec's Ten Commandments. Now, the cult of Aunt and Dec was our Il Fated Third album, which we liked, but didn't sell as well as the other two. Shall I read out the commandments?

• 5:06Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 5:06Ant McPartlin?

  I've got them here.

• 5:06Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 5:07Ant McPartlin?

  Number one, thou shall wear thy mask at all times. Never deface thy mask, nor spill any liquids on thy mask.

• 5:16Declan Donnelly?

  Now, this isn't like a COVID mask.

• 5:18Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 5:19Declan Donnelly?

  This is a mask that was given away free with Smash Hits, which was a mask of Aunt and a mask of Dec. So you got a free mask when you bought Smash Hits.

• 5:28Ant McPartlin?

  You'd like that, wouldn't you?

• 5:28Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 5:29Ant McPartlin?

  Two, thou shall not wash whites with colours.

• 5:33Declan Donnelly?

  That's pretty.

• 5:34Ant McPartlin?

  That's just good, good advice.

• 5:35Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. Good commandment, that.

• 5:37Ant McPartlin?

  It is good commandment. Uh, three, thou shall honour thy ma'am always. Honour your maams out there, maams, mums, mummies, whatever you call them.

• 5:45Declan Donnelly?

  Mama.

• 5:45Ant McPartlin?

  Mamas.

• 5:47Declan Donnelly?

  Mum, mummy, mama, mama, mummy, mama.

• 5:50Ant McPartlin?

  Number four, thou shall not step on Dex's blue suede shoes. We obviously wrote these in a rush.

• 5:56Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. I've got sandy suede shoes on today.

• 5:58Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, and you wouldn't appreciate me standing on them, would you?

• 6:00Declan Donnelly?

  I sure would not.

• 6:02Ant McPartlin?

  What would you do?

• 6:02Declan Donnelly?

  I'd smash your face in.

• 6:03Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah, of course. Uh, number five, every morning thou shall recite the lyrics to You Crazy Cats.

• 6:08Declan Donnelly?

  That was a cynic.

• 6:09Ant McPartlin?

  All you cats, ball about. Raise your hats to the man and shall let me say yeah.

• 6:17Declan Donnelly?

  Whoa, whoa.

• 6:18Ant McPartlin?

  You crazy cats. Way oh, way oh, way oh, way oh. Uh, number six, thou shall never touch another man's. We're just going to give you no context to that one. It sounds like we're just talking a foreign language, doesn't it? Thou shall never touch another man's flipper.

• 6:37Declan Donnelly?

  That was because we played a lot of pinball at the time.

• 6:38Ant McPartlin?

  We did. We did. And you should never, and I repeat, never, flip another man's flipper if he is on the pinball machine, because they'll go flipping mad. Seven, thou shall never sulk.

• 6:50Declan Donnelly?

  I think we're starting to script the one in the barrel here.

• 6:52Ant McPartlin?

  But no, I, this was mine, because Dex was a sulker back in the day. And I put this in for him. He used to sulk.

• 6:59Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, did he?

• 7:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 7:01Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, number eight.

• 7:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 7:03Declan Donnelly?

  I think this might have been mine. Thou shall not put our records on the jukebox when we walk into the pub, then giggle with your mates and look over at us as if it's the first time it's ever happened. That used to happen a lot.

• 7:13Ant McPartlin?

  All the time.

• 7:14Declan Donnelly?

  That used to happen a lot.

• 7:15Ant McPartlin?

  Didn't it?

• 7:15Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it was so annoying.

• 7:17Ant McPartlin?

  Number nine, thou shall demand a free pizza on ordering your 200th of the year. Well, that should, that should be a rule.

• 7:23Declan Donnelly?

  200 pizzas in one year?

• 7:24Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it's a lot, isn't it?

• 7:25Declan Donnelly?

  That's pretty good going.

• 7:25Ant McPartlin?

  It is pretty good going. So therefore you should get a free pizza. You should get a free pizza for a hundred.

• 7:29Declan Donnelly?

  We probably did that because when we shared a flat, we never cooked, did we?

• 7:33Ant McPartlin?

  No, we never cooked.

• 7:33Declan Donnelly?

  When we first moved into a flat, we'd have Chinese on a Monday, Indian on a Tuesday.

• 7:39Ant McPartlin?

  Is that Craig Davidson?

• 7:43Declan Donnelly?

  Pizza on a Wednesday, maybe a Thai on a Thursday. Then we'd go back to Chinese on a Friday. No, we might go out on a Friday.

• 7:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we probably did go out on a Friday.

• 7:52Declan Donnelly?

  We never cooked.

• 7:52Ant McPartlin?

  Never cooked.

• 7:53Declan Donnelly?

  There's a lot of takeaways.

• 7:54Ant McPartlin?

  And finally, 10, thou shall always remember that a man's pockets are his own private kingdom.

• 8:01Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know what that's all about.

• 8:04Ant McPartlin?

  We were, um, yeah, that was our commandments. We had to fill some copy in Smash Hits and that's what we did.

• 8:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 8:14Ant McPartlin?

  And I, didn't it?

• 8:15Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, team.

• 8:16Ant McPartlin?

  Hey.

• 8:17Declan Donnelly?

  Hey. My daughter Laurie somehow figured out that the iconic drumbeat intro of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here is actually a sample from Tonight I'm Free Cool Mix by PJ and Duncan.

• 8:29Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 8:30Declan Donnelly?

  Do Aunt and Dec even know this fact? That's from Ryan.

• 8:34Ant McPartlin?

  We have to play this.

• 8:34Declan Donnelly?

  So.

• 8:35Ant McPartlin?

  Because we might sue ourselves. Just saying.

• 8:39Declan Donnelly?

  So this is Tonight I'm Free Cool Mix.

• 8:52Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my God, it is. Do it again, do it again, do it again.

• 8:57Declan Donnelly?

  Hang on.

• 8:57Ant McPartlin?

  So this is PJ and Duncan back, back in 1994?

• 9:10Declan Donnelly?

  Right, somebody's getting sued. I think I'm going to sue you.

• 9:13Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, and I'm going to sue you. I'm going to counter sue. So then we both win. Then we're both quids in.

• 9:19Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 9:20Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Let's sue each other.

• 9:21Declan Donnelly?

  That'll work.

• 9:23Speaker 05

  So you never knew that?

• 9:24Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 9:25Declan Donnelly?

  I've never heard of the Tonight I'm Free Cool Mix, if I'm honest.

• 9:28Ant McPartlin?

  You must have heard it. You must have heard it.

• 9:29Declan Donnelly?

  Have I? When would I have heard the cool mix? I don't think any of the mixes are that cool, if I'm honest.

• 9:36Ant McPartlin?

  I thought when you were clubbing.

• 9:40Ant McPartlin?

  Because they've, obviously they played that a lot in the clubs back in the 90s. So I'm surprised we didn't pick up on it then.

• 9:47Declan Donnelly?

  Well, what do you know about that?

• 9:49Ant McPartlin?

  That has blown my mind. It really has. And I'm going to leave this podcast now and have a stern word with everybody who works in I'm a Celebrity.

• 9:58Declan Donnelly?

  Watch this space.

• 9:58Ant McPartlin?

  The plot thickens. Stern words.

• 10:00Declan Donnelly?

  See us in the high court.

• 10:01Speaker 05

  The drums aren't in the original Tonight I'm Free.

• 10:04Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I know.

• 10:05Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, just in the Cool Mix.

• 10:06Ant McPartlin?

  Because we were, because we sang along to Tonight I'm Free. We mined Tonight I'm Free many, many times.

• 10:13Speaker 05

  Um, news just in, apparently the bear is on the way up here on the hill.

• 10:18Ant McPartlin?

  Coming on the podcast?

• 10:19Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 10:20Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, my God, this is amazing.

• 10:21Declan Donnelly?

  He's heard we're recording.

• 10:23Ant McPartlin?

  I said we should get some more guests on the pod. Right, I'm going to go and see the bear.

• 10:27Declan Donnelly?

  Hang on.

• 10:28Ant McPartlin?

  Right, see you later, guys.

• 10:28Speaker 05

  Oh, well, there's a quick.

• 10:30Declan Donnelly?

  We will report back. This is a, this is a development story. It's chaos here in the studio. It's a development story. There is a bear approaching us. We'll get back to you as soon as we know more.

• 10:45Declan Donnelly?

  Aunt, Aunt. No, he's still there. On the scene.

• 10:51Speaker 03

  So we've got a bear right down there.

• 10:53Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

• 10:54Speaker 03

  Back a little bit there guys.

• 10:57Declan Donnelly?

  It's a bloody bear.

• 11:00Ant McPartlin?

  It's the bear in the woods. Just saying.

• 11:05Declan Donnelly?

  The bear's, the bear's moving.

• 11:08Ant McPartlin?

  So who was that?

• 11:09Speaker 03

  So that was a male bear. It's about a four-year-old bear. It was here curious, you know, it's hyperphagia, so they're a time of intense feeding and they know where there's people, there's probably food.

• 11:17Ant McPartlin?

  Mine.

• 11:17Speaker 03

  So it was coming to investigate. I obviously, as you saw, chased it back down out of circus here and it's made its way to the forest.

• 11:25Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I saw a bear last.

• 11:27Declan Donnelly?

  As far up as here?

• 11:28Speaker 03

  He was on here, yeah.

• 11:29Ant McPartlin?

  He was on here? Wow. Canadian trip complete. Oh, don't be loud.

• 11:34Declan Donnelly?

  Let's uh, let's get back to the podcast.

• 11:37Speaker 03

  All right.

• 11:38Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, thanks guys.

• 11:39Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks, Jason.

• 11:40Speaker 03

  Thanks.

• 11:42Declan Donnelly?

  Wow, it was a bear. It's a bear, it's a bear. Did you get it on your phone?

• 11:47Ant McPartlin?

  I did. I did, can't see that. Can't see the bear.

• 11:51Speaker 03

  So what we're trying to do now is to keep it from.

• 11:53Declan Donnelly?

  That's a bear, right next to our trailers.

• 12:01Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that was brilliant.

• 12:02Declan Donnelly?

  We have been inundated with people emailing about supper and what it is.

• 12:08Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yes.

• 12:09Declan Donnelly?

  Jennifer in Glasgow says, in Glasgow, supper is a light snack you need before bed, such as when kids' little tummies need something small in the evening.

• 12:18Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 12:19Declan Donnelly?

  It's cute, which is corroborated by Fiona, who says, growing up in Glasgow, we only got supper when we were older or had visitors, which is your last meal before bed, which consists of a cup of tea and some toast or a plain biscuit, so you weren't going to bed hungry.

• 12:31Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's a good point, yeah.

• 12:32Declan Donnelly?

  Millie in Leeds says, breakfast, dinner, then tea is the order.

• 12:37Ant McPartlin?

  Agreed.

• 12:38Declan Donnelly?

  Tea is at four or five PM in our house and then supper is toast or a mini ham sandwich between eight and nine.

• 12:44Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I'm coming round to bed. That's a great idea.

• 12:48Declan Donnelly?

  Joanna in Winchester says supper is a posh person's dinner. So naturally, it's, it's what my mum insists on calling it at home.

• 12:55Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, I see.

• 12:56Declan Donnelly?

  She's posh.

• 12:56Ant McPartlin?

  Time for supper.

• 12:57Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 12:57Ant McPartlin?

  She wouldn't say that in Winchester, wouldn't she?

• 13:00Declan Donnelly?

  Mrs. Bouquet, both dinner and supper were interchangeable in our house and both meant the evening meal, so breakfast, lunch, then dinner stroke supper.

• 13:08Ant McPartlin?

  Well, what made you choose what, call it?

• 13:11Declan Donnelly?

  When our mum was trying to sound posh.

• 13:13Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, with your friends round, right, okay.

• 13:15Declan Donnelly?

  Lastly, Lucy is in West Wales, in a predominantly Welsh-speaking town.

• 13:20Ant McPartlin?

  Hmm.

• 13:20Declan Donnelly?

  So she says, we would say, breakfast.

• 13:24Ant McPartlin?

  What's that?

• 13:25Declan Donnelly?

  Breakfast. That's Welsh for breakfast.

• 13:28Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 13:29Declan Donnelly?

  Cinio.

• 13:31Ant McPartlin?

  What, cinio?

• 13:32Declan Donnelly?

  Cinio, which is dinner, and super.

• 13:35Ant McPartlin?

  Super.

• 13:36Declan Donnelly?

  Super. S W P E R, super.

• 13:40Ant McPartlin?

  That's really good.

• 13:41Declan Donnelly?

  Translating the breakfast, dinner, stroke supper. Supper for us is six or seven o'clock. Thank you, dioch.

• 13:47Ant McPartlin?

  So cinio is lunch, dinner?

• 13:51Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, dinner. So bru- bre- breakfast.

• 13:54Ant McPartlin?

  Breakfast.

• 13:54Declan Donnelly?

  Breakfast.

• 13:55Ant McPartlin?

  Breakfast.

• 13:56Declan Donnelly?

  Is breakfast.

• 13:57Ant McPartlin?

  Right, yeah.

• 13:58Declan Donnelly?

  Cinio or cinio.

• 13:59Ant McPartlin?

  I like, I like.

• 14:00Declan Donnelly?

  C I N I O. How would you say that?

• 14:02Ant McPartlin?

  C I N I.

• 14:04Declan Donnelly?

  Cinio?

• 14:04Ant McPartlin?

  Cinio?

• 14:06Declan Donnelly?

  Cinio, my dinner, cinio. And then super. And if you want to find more about that, you can look it up on YouTube.

• 14:16Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that's very good.

• 14:18Declan Donnelly?

  So there you go.

• 14:19Ant McPartlin?

  See, people do listen to what we say on this thing.

• 14:21Declan Donnelly?

  But in conclusion, no one really knows, but this podcast is a good forum if you have a question you'd like a general consensus on.

• 14:28Ant McPartlin?

  I agree.

• 14:28Declan Donnelly?

  A good note at the end.

• 14:30Ant McPartlin?

  Very good note. Thank you very much for that. I'd like to know the origin story of things, wouldn't you? That why things happen the way they did. Someone was telling me yesterday, you know, when we were driving up the hill, so when we drive from where we are now, where.

• 14:44Declan Donnelly?

  Base.

• 14:45Ant McPartlin?

  Base is, unit base to call it, up to where the camp is, it's about a 25-minute drive.

• 14:50Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 14:51Ant McPartlin?

  And it's all uphill, it's really windy and really bumpy. And the cars on the way down stop and, because the cars coming up the hill have right of way.

• 15:00Declan Donnelly?

  Ah, okay.

• 15:01Ant McPartlin?

  And we were talking about this and we said, why, why is that? And apparently it goes back to when people would travel on horse. And it's easier for a horse to stop going downhill than it is going uphill.

• 15:13Declan Donnelly?

  Is it?

• 15:14Ant McPartlin?

  Because for a horse, especially if it's pulling something, to stop uphill, to stop that momentum is more difficult than for the horse to start its momentum again going uphill. So it's easier for the horse coming downhill to stop and that's, that's why going uphill has right of way.

• 15:29Declan Donnelly?

  There you go.

• 15:30Ant McPartlin?

  See, stuff like that, guys, we need more.

• 15:33Declan Donnelly?

  Education.

• 15:34Ant McPartlin?

  informative, educational stuff.

• 15:37Declan Donnelly?

  This next bit's brought to you by Gemini, Google's AI app. Golf was good the other day.

• 15:43Ant McPartlin?

  It was good, wasn't it?

• 15:43Declan Donnelly?

  I loved it.

• 15:44Ant McPartlin?

  Are you stiff?

• 15:45Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my god.

• 15:46Ant McPartlin?

  I'm really stiff, like, I'd never, I never used to get this stiff.

• 15:49Declan Donnelly?

  Obviously, we're getting a bit older.

• 15:51Ant McPartlin?

  Do you want me to ask Gemini to see if there's a good kitchen stretch?

• 15:53Declan Donnelly?

  I think that is a very good idea.

• 15:55Ant McPartlin?

  Gemini, please, can you give Deck some stretches to do after golf in the kitchen when the kids have gone to bed? Okay, Gemini says, here's a quick, quiet kitchen routine for Deck. Hold each for 20 to 30 seconds and breathe deeply.

• 16:13Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 16:15Ant McPartlin?

  Lat and spine stretch. Grip the edge of the sink, step back, hinge at the hips until the torso is parallel to, this, this is the kitchen sink, that's it, that's it. That's it.

• 16:25Declan Donnelly?

  Good idea.

• 16:26Ant McPartlin?

  That's a good one. So breathe, breathe, breathe.

• 16:30Declan Donnelly?

  It's got me hammies as well, that.

• 16:32Ant McPartlin?

  And breathe out.

• 16:32Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 16:33Ant McPartlin?

  There you go, well done. The kids are in bed, so you can't, you can't be that loud.

• 16:36Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yeah.

• 16:37Ant McPartlin?

  You remember?

• 16:39Declan Donnelly?

  That's a good little routine, man.

• 16:40Ant McPartlin?

  That was good, good little routine.

• 16:41Declan Donnelly?

  We don't stretch enough, full stop.

• 16:43Ant McPartlin?

  We don't stretch enough.

• 16:44Declan Donnelly?

  We don't stretch ourselves.

• 16:47Declan Donnelly?

  We're in our comfort zone.

• 17:12Declan Donnelly?

  Eighteen plus.

• 17:16Ant McPartlin?

  I've got one here. Hi all, my four-year-old son Austin and particularly my five-year-old nephew Alex have recently taken a keen interest in Pokémon.

• 17:27Ant McPartlin?

  Remember that?

• 17:28Declan Donnelly?

  Not the podcast?

• 17:29Ant McPartlin?

  Not the podcast.

• 17:29Declan Donnelly?

  Not the podcast.

• 17:30Ant McPartlin?

  Pokémon.

• 17:30Declan Donnelly?

  Pokémon.

• 17:31Ant McPartlin?

  Do you remember them?

• 17:32Declan Donnelly?

  I remember Pokémon.

• 17:33Ant McPartlin?

  Which means the TV show is regularly on screen in our house. I cannot see or hear anything to do with that show without thinking of you lads doing the skits on Saturday mornings back in the day. In fact, I regularly shout, Misty.

• 17:48Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, Brian.

• 17:51Ant McPartlin?

  When it's on, much to my own amusement, and I'm the annoyance of my wife and the general confusion of the boys. Do you still get random stuff like that shouted at you by members of the public? If so, what are the most niche ones and which ones do your heads in? Keep with the good work, respect guys. Rob in Liverpool.

• 18:08Declan Donnelly?

  Every now and again, I get people saying, hey, don't be a jigglypuff.

• 18:16Ant McPartlin?

  Don't you do that.

• 18:17Declan Donnelly?

  I do, it's quite random and not, not often, but you do get the odd, don't be a jigglypuff.

• 18:24Ant McPartlin?

  I get people going, Pikachu. Pikachu. Pikachu.

• 18:31Declan Donnelly?

  If you've never seen SMTV Live, this is probably very confusing.

• 18:36Ant McPartlin?

  Every Saturday morning when Pokémon was on, there was a spike in our ratings, right? So the producers said, we need to do a sketch on the back of Pokémon to show that we're really engaged in the, in the cartoon.

• 18:51Declan Donnelly?

  Engage with the acquired material.

• 18:52Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, engage with the, the acquired material, with the audience. We've got the first script for the Pokémon fight between my character and Dexkay, that we're playing two of the characters from the TV show. Misty and who was I? Gary, Gary and Misty. And we read the script and it was like gobbledegood to us.

• 19:09Declan Donnelly?

  I have no idea.

• 19:10Ant McPartlin?

  We didn't know any of the Pokémon's names, we didn't know any of the characters and we rehearsed it in the break just before we were about to do it live on a Saturday morning. We rehearsed it, nobody laughed, not, not one of the cameramen, none of the sound guys, none of the kids, and we'd just kind of done it to silence.

• 19:26Declan Donnelly?

  And, and, and normally when we were doing these sketches, the camera lads would be laughing and we'd be.

• 19:30Ant McPartlin?

  And we'd do anything we could to make them laugh, we're being.

• 19:32Declan Donnelly?

  And they just, they were just filming it, stony-faced.

• 19:35Ant McPartlin?

  Ah.

• 19:35Declan Donnelly?

  We're like, oh god, oh god, this is.

• 19:38Ant McPartlin?

  And the floor manager, and we were like, okay, and we're like, is this good? Is this funny? Is this good? And the producer's going, yeah, yeah, the kids will love it. The kids, trust me, the kids at home will love it.

• 19:45Declan Donnelly?

  The kids are gonna go mad.

• 19:46Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, well, we trust you. If you, if you say so, and we go, and coming back live in 10, 9, make the floor manager just count down, 5, 4, 3, then he goes, you're gonna die. 2, 1, you're on.

• 20:00Ant McPartlin?

  And we're on. And we're like, hi, Gary.

• 20:04Declan Donnelly?

  You're gonna die.

• 20:05Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you did. You're gonna die. You're on.

• 20:10Ant McPartlin?

  And then we just had to go into this sketch, which thankfully, the kids who did like Pokemon, liked and understood way more than we did. On Bella Box, you can watch some of our Pokemon fights. By a letter here on what has been a very enjoyable bonus episode. Hi, boys.

• 20:27Declan Donnelly?

  Hi.

• 20:28Ant McPartlin?

  And Heckless Corner.

• 20:29Speaker 05

  Hey.

• 20:30Ant McPartlin?

  So about two months ago, right, I started working at Olden Towers and they had an exclusive exhibit for the summer with historic things like the first maps, prices of when the park first opened and celebrity visits, including a signed piece of paper from Duncan, Biker Grove, 1993.

• 20:51Ant McPartlin?

  We've got a picture of it here.

• 20:52Declan Donnelly?

  It's got Robbie Williams there, in the park.

• 20:55Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah.

• 20:56Declan Donnelly?

  It's got Sidon out of EastEnders and then Pride of Place, right in the centre. Thank you for everything. You're all stars. Every last one of ya.

• 21:06Ant McPartlin?

  That was you, Paul?

• 21:06Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. See you all again soon. Lots of love. Declan Donnelly, Duncan Biker Grove, 1993.

• 21:12Ant McPartlin?

  Very good. Very good.

• 21:13Declan Donnelly?

  You're all stars.

• 21:16Ant McPartlin?

  You're so showbiz.

• 21:17Declan Donnelly?

  Every last one of ya.

• 21:19Ant McPartlin?

  That is actually quite a rare autograph because you've signed your full name.

• 21:22Declan Donnelly?

  I've signed my full name.

• 21:23Ant McPartlin?

  She's not really bothered about that. That was just the in. That autograph picture was just the in to ask her main questions, which are, when did you last visit Olden Towers? And do you like roller coasters?

• 21:36Declan Donnelly?

  I love roller coasters.

• 21:37Ant McPartlin?

  Same here.

• 21:38Declan Donnelly?

  I've been to Olden Towers for ages, probably around 1993. No, I've been since then. We used to go a lot, didn't we, to the theme parks?

• 21:47Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 21:47Declan Donnelly?

  Teen magazines used to love taking us to theme parks, especially fast forward.

• 21:52Ant McPartlin?

  And then we've kind of carried on riding roller coasters on Saturday Night Takeaway in Disney or Universal.

• 21:58Declan Donnelly?

  Tell your Hagrid story. Protect, change the names to protect the innocent.

• 22:03Ant McPartlin?

  I can't change the names.

• 22:04Speaker 05

  I love this.

• 22:05Declan Donnelly?

  You have to. Just the person, somebody who works with us, who will remain anonymous.

• 22:09Speaker 05

  She'll kill you.

• 22:10Declan Donnelly?

  She is gonna kill us.

• 22:12Ant McPartlin?

  We can't. We can't.

• 22:13Declan Donnelly?

  You just don't name them.

• 22:16Ant McPartlin?

  So this woman, lovely, lovely woman who we work with closely, went on a ride with me and Auntie, my wife, and our two daughters, and we went around on the Hagrid ride at Universal. And you get in, someone's on the motorbike and someone's in the sidecar.

• 22:34Declan Donnelly?

  Guess who was in the sidecar when I rode it with Aunt?

• 22:40Ant McPartlin?

  Declan. Anyway, I'm on one, I'm on one bike and my daughter's in the sidecar. And on the one in front of us, this woman, who shall remain, who we work with, who shall remain nameless, was on the bike and my other daughter was in the other sidecar. We're going around, whizzing around, and at one point, it goes really fast, goes up and down. That's most roller coasters do. It was a surprise to you.

• 23:02Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks for clarifying that.

• 23:03Ant McPartlin?

  But then it stops, drops down and goes backwards, doesn't it?

• 23:06Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 23:06Ant McPartlin?

  So it really gets your kind of body kind of turning around. And we just done, I think this was our fourth ride in a row.

• 23:14Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yeah.

• 23:15Ant McPartlin?

  This was our fourth ride in a row. So we'd done those kind of 4D ones and everything. So she was probably feeling a bit woozy.

• 23:20Declan Donnelly?

  You can get a bit motion sick from some of them. You can get a bit woozy, yeah.

• 23:24Ant McPartlin?

  And I just looked up and just saw her going, like that. And the roller coaster's going really fast. She's in front of me and the sick is coming out of her mouth on one daughter and splashing back onto the other one. So she's covered both me daughters in her sick. And then the ride.

• 23:44Declan Donnelly?

  This is not the end of the story.

• 23:45Ant McPartlin?

  Then she goes, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Shall I do the impression? I shouldn't do the impression.

• 23:50Declan Donnelly?

  Don't do the impression.

• 23:50Ant McPartlin?

  Because I'd really give it away. Hey, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, she says. Sick's flying everywhere. The kids are going, oh my god. Then the ride goes, and stops like this on the last bend before we finish in the baking midday Floridian sun. And a voice comes over the tannin and says, everybody stay in the vehicles. This is an emergency stop. We will come and get you as soon as we can. And we had to sit in the, on Hagrid's ride, covered in her sick for 20 minutes.

• 24:22Declan Donnelly?

  It's just drying nicely in the sun.

• 24:24Ant McPartlin?

  It was just, it just started. And then there was two people on the first bike, right at the beginning of the ride, who recognized us and was throwing questions back through the person who shall remain nameless. So they were like, are they really best friends? So she's like, they're asking, are they really best friends? As the sick continued to come.

• 24:46Ant McPartlin?

  Mortified. She was mortified. But.

• 24:48Declan Donnelly?

  Roller coasters on for everyone.

• 24:51Ant McPartlin?

  Mentioned on a.

• 24:55Ant McPartlin?

  That's it. Well, an episode, that's the last of our chat from Canada.

• 24:59Declan Donnelly?

  From Canada, from our little ski lodge.

• 25:01Ant McPartlin?

  Or Canadian adventure.

• 25:02Declan Donnelly?

  Or little Canadian hangout.

• 25:05Speaker 05

  And I've just got another message. I think the bear's back again.

• 25:07Ant McPartlin?

  Back where?

• 25:08Speaker 05

  Outside.

• 25:09Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 25:09Ant McPartlin?

  Is it?

• 25:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 25:10Declan Donnelly?

  He is a, he's a bit of an angry bear.

• 25:12Ant McPartlin?

  He is an angry bear.

• 25:13Declan Donnelly?

  Have you heard this? He actually charged at Jason the Bear Man. Yeah.

• 25:18Ant McPartlin?

  Did he?

• 25:19Declan Donnelly?

  He's used bear bangers on him.

• 25:20Ant McPartlin?

  Has he?

• 25:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. Trying to scare him off.

• 25:22Ant McPartlin?

  Wow.

• 25:23Declan Donnelly?

  He's an angry bear.

• 25:24Ant McPartlin?

  Sounds like an app.

• 25:28Declan Donnelly?

  Angry bears.

• 25:28Ant McPartlin?

  Angry bears. So we're in that. Yeah, I'll write that down. Angry, angry bears.

• 25:33Declan Donnelly?

  Angry bears. I think I've got a theme tune for it.

• 25:38Ant McPartlin?

  Right, that's it.

• 25:38Declan Donnelly?

  That's it.
