1:00 Declan Donnelly? Coming up on today's show, we're hanging out on holiday!
1:03 Ant McPartlin? Tex got a beard!
1:13 Declan Donnelly? I confuse Ant with the "no, there" game. The inflection is "there is a verb".
1:19 Ant McPartlin? But it doesn't sound like that! We discuss our superhero, Alter Eagles, that's your superpower!
1:25 Declan Donnelly? Oh, really? Ant has a very public spillage.
1:29 Ant McPartlin? They kill themselves laughing, and everybody else starts laughing. The hecklers share some of their inventions. I don't even think we need a banana ray at that, do we?
1:40 Declan Donnelly? And we share some childhood holiday memories. That's all coming up. Enjoy the show!
1:55 Declan Donnelly? Hello everybody.
1:56 Ant McPartlin? Hello everybody.
1:58 Declan Donnelly? I was gonna say welcome to the hangout, but we're not even in the hangout.
2:00 Ant McPartlin? We're not in the hangout. Welcome to our holiday hangout.
2:04 Declan Donnelly? We are hanging out on holiday.
2:05 Ant McPartlin? We are indeed.
2:07 Declan Donnelly? And you're all very welcome. It's good, isn't it?
2:10 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it's good.
2:11 Declan Donnelly? You're all welcome along on holiday with us. It's nice to be with you once again.
2:17 Ant McPartlin? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
2:20 Declan Donnelly? Whoa, are we whoing?
2:22 Ant McPartlin? Course we're whoing. Do you have a beard?
2:27 Ant McPartlin? You do, you've got a beard.
2:29 Declan Donnelly? I have a suggestion of a beard at the moment. If you're just listening to this, we obviously have been off work now for about a week. So I haven't shaved for a week.
2:39 Ant McPartlin? At last. We thought it couldn't happen. I didn't think it could happen. But Deck has grown a beard. Go, go, do profile.
2:47 Declan Donnelly? I'm gonna go very close to the camera here.
3:00 Declan Donnelly? It is driving me mad.
3:02 Ant McPartlin? You don't look as much like Alfie Bo as I thought you would.
3:06 Declan Donnelly? Okay, that's where you had me.
3:08 Ant McPartlin? Well, that's what we all thought, that you might look a bit like Alfie Bo, but you don't.
3:12 Declan Donnelly? Do I just look like me with a beard?
3:14 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, you look like Deck with a beard and glasses. You look like a counter in Guess Who.
3:21 Ant McPartlin? Do you have a beard and glasses? Yes. I think it's Deck.
3:26 Declan Donnelly? It is driving me mad. I can't wait to get rid of it. It's, I've just entered the itchy phase.
3:32 Speaker 03 No.
3:33 Declan Donnelly? And it's driving me crazy.
3:34 Speaker 03 For the three weeks?
3:35 Declan Donnelly? No.
3:36 Speaker 03 See how big it gets?
3:37 Declan Donnelly? No, I cannot. I can't do that. Even now, the current Mrs Donnelly is going, when is that beard going?
3:44 Ant McPartlin? Was this just for the pod?
3:46 Declan Donnelly? Absolutely.
3:47 Ant McPartlin? This was just for lols?
3:48 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
3:49 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, just for you lols.
3:52 Declan Donnelly? I saw some friends the other night. We went round to their house and they're like, oh, you're growing a beard. I was like, it's for the, yeah. It doesn't look like you. I said, this is just for the podcast. So there we are, we've done it now.
4:08 Ant McPartlin? Well done.
4:08 Declan Donnelly? Got a beard, I can't wait to grow, I might shave it during the show.
4:12 Ant McPartlin? On next week's hangout, Deck will show his legs.
4:15 Speaker 03 Yeah.
4:16 Ant McPartlin? In short.
4:17 Declan Donnelly? There's a mere suggestion of them here.
4:20 Ant McPartlin? What?
4:20 Declan Donnelly? Can I just slightly draw your attention to the discrepancy in the muff size we have here?
4:27 Ant McPartlin? Well, I was gonna bring that up.
4:29 Declan Donnelly? We're on holiday and we've had to bring our own setup. We've had to do this. I've had to become a technician today to set all this up. There's boxes everywhere, but we've set up a little studio.
4:39 Ant McPartlin? How did you cope with setting it up?
4:40 Declan Donnelly? I was very stressed. It's a bit hot here.
4:43 Ant McPartlin? You did join later than me.
4:45 Declan Donnelly? I did. I did. That was because I was combing my beard.
4:50 Declan Donnelly? But we've had to set all of this up ourselves. We've got very technical. And you seem to have a very big muff on your microphone. I have a very small muff on my microphone. How has that happened?
5:03 Ant McPartlin? I think it goes in height size order. So I'm slightly bigger in real life than you. So I get a slightly bigger muff than your muff. Yours is quite, yours is thinner and a bit longer. Mine's got more girth. That says a lot, Fox.
5:21 Ant McPartlin? That says a, let's leave that there. Let's just leave that there for your imagination. If you can't see it, imagine it.
5:29 Declan Donnelly? How's your holiday been so far?
5:31 Ant McPartlin? My holiday's been good, really good. I'll let you all into a little secret. We broke up from holiday, me and Deck, last week and we've already seen each other on holiday and played golf.
5:45 Ant McPartlin? We can't keep away from one another that long.
5:47 Declan Donnelly? Literally, I landed on Friday and we played golf on Saturday morning.
5:51 Ant McPartlin? There we are.
5:52 Declan Donnelly? Quarter to eight in the morning. We teed off at quarter to eight in the morning. We hadn't, we'd only seen each other thirty six hours earlier.
6:02 Ant McPartlin? Do you know what? I was thinking this. We're gonna play a lot of golf on this holiday, right? Hopefully, if our wives allow us.
6:08 Declan Donnelly? That's the plan.
6:10 Ant McPartlin? But I worry that we might come across as golf balls if we talk about it too much. Do you know what I mean? You can be a golf ball. If you're not into golf and you're talking to somebody else about golf, it can be quite boring.
6:22 Speaker 03 We were quite worried about that ourselves. So we've actually got a game for you.
6:27 Ant McPartlin? Again?
6:27 Speaker 03 It's called mini golf. When you hear this sound. One of you is allowed to talk about golf as much as you like for one minute and one minute only.
6:36 Declan Donnelly? Okay.
6:37 Speaker 03 That's it. So we're gonna, and then you'll see this. Quiet please, Simon.
6:43 Ant McPartlin? The quiet please sign that I won at Famous Guy Swaps things.
6:47 Speaker 03 So let's, we'll flip a coin, see who gets the first honk and go at mini golf. Have you got a coin?
6:54 Ant McPartlin? I have got in this draw, an English penny.
7:00 Declan Donnelly? How funny.
7:02 Ant McPartlin? I know. I found that wild. I found that earlier. I was like, give me that. You could chalk on that, but I'll use that for the podcast, thankfully. Actually, I'll flip it now. Heads me, tails you, Doug?
7:12 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, that's right.
7:14 Ant McPartlin? Right.
7:17 Ant McPartlin? What is, I can't even work. I can't even see. Can lend us your glasses, will you?
7:22 Ant McPartlin? Tails. Tails, it's you. It's, oh, that's better. Yeah, tails. Tails.
7:28 Declan Donnelly? Okay, so I get first chat about golf.
7:30 Ant McPartlin? You get first chat about golf.
7:33 Ant McPartlin? Do you feel like you've relaxed yet?
7:34 Declan Donnelly? No, I'm still getting there. I still have not unpacked a full suitcase.
7:39 Ant McPartlin? Have you not?
7:40 Declan Donnelly? No, it's stressing me out a little bit. I've had so much other things, so many other things to do, like play golf at eight o'clock in the morning. Um, that I haven't unpacked fully yet. So I'm going to do that today. That is my mission for today, to fully settle in today. Um, and then I'll be properly on holiday.
7:57 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I'm the same. I don't re, maybe today, maybe after, well, I'm kind of at work now so that I don't feel like I'm on holiday anymore. Um, but yeah, you're right. We played golf, then it was the England game. So we're celebrating the England game and then we're obviously up late because it went into, you know, uh, extra time. And it became a late night and I was up early with the kids. So yeah, I don't feel rested at all. But can we just talk about Jude Bellingham and what a machine that man is? I, I love him. I think I'm in love with him. I think I'm in love with Jude Bellingham.
8:34 Declan Donnelly? He's very easy to fall in love with.
8:35 Ant McPartlin? He's just quite dreamy. He's there on the eyes. He's dreamy. He's got great skills, good techers.
8:43 Declan Donnelly? Silky skills. Um. Now, of course, uh, we're recording this early in the week, so by the time this goes out, England will have already played Argentina.
8:51 Ant McPartlin? Oh, my God, you're right.
8:53 Declan Donnelly? And we will know.
8:54 Ant McPartlin? Oh, you're right.
8:55 Declan Donnelly? We will know whether we we are in a World Cup final or whether we've gone out controversially to Argentina once again.
9:03 Ant McPartlin? Well, let's do both again then. So congratulations, England!
9:07 Declan Donnelly? Oh, we're in a World Cup final. This is incredible.
9:10 Ant McPartlin? Final, guys.
9:11 Declan Donnelly? Oh, my God.
9:12 Ant McPartlin? Big Jude does it again. Jude and Harry Kane do it again. Two on, can you believe it? Or, or, ah.
9:20 Declan Donnelly? Oh, that referee, that was never a thing, was it? That whole thing that the referee did?
9:25 Ant McPartlin? How controversial was that?
9:27 Declan Donnelly? Ah, I can't. But hey, talking of that, I read something on social media, so it must be true.
9:33 Ant McPartlin? Broke me cup. Broke me cup for what?
9:36 Declan Donnelly? I read on social media that, um, they put all of Nostradamus's predictions into AI and got it to translate Nostradamus and what he predicted about the World Cup and about this year.
9:52 Ant McPartlin? Shut up, man.
9:53 Declan Donnelly? Nostradamus has said that there will be a huge controversial call in this World Cup, even more controversial than the hand of God in 1986 from Diego Maradona. And it will have a huge say on the winning of the World Cup. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, we have not had that so far. I think it's gonna come in the England versus Argentina match. I've made a huge thing about this and I've just realised this will already have happened by the time this goes out.
10:29 Declan Donnelly? But.
10:30 Ant McPartlin? Hold on a second. Right. I I don't want to kind of pop your bubble here.
10:35 Declan Donnelly? Rain on my parade?
10:36 Ant McPartlin? Rain on your parade, pop your bubble, pee in your bonfire. But the World Cup wasn't even a thing when Nostradamus was alive. So how can you predict something that hasn't even hap- like, football, I don't think was invented. And certainly a world format of people playing football wasn't invented. So how can you then think up this invention of football, then a tournament that people play around the world? And then the hand of God, and then another one?
11:08 Declan Donnelly? They are all excellent points. Which I have no, I read it on social media, so I don't know.
11:16 Ant McPartlin? That's fine.
11:16 Declan Donnelly? But according to a daily red top newspaper.
11:20 Ant McPartlin? Right.
11:21 Declan Donnelly? Nostradamus says there's going to be a controversial call bigger than the hand of God, which will decide the destination of the World Cup.
11:28 Ant McPartlin? Do you think that had anything to do, do you think that could be then Trump getting involved with the, and rescinded red card?
11:36 Declan Donnelly? Could be.
11:37 Ant McPartlin? That was quite controversial.
11:38 Declan Donnelly? That was quite, was it more controversial than the hand of God? You be the judge.
11:41 Ant McPartlin? Well, not if you're an England fan.
11:43 Declan Donnelly? No.
11:44 Ant McPartlin? Not if you're an England fan, absolutely not.
11:46 Declan Donnelly? Could be that, could, could, could also be just filling space to sell papers. I'm kind of not making any plans for the final yet, in case we don't get there. I just feel like it's tempting fate by making plans.
12:01 Ant McPartlin? Do you know what I find now? Cause I don't, we used to go to the pub and watch football all the time, didn't we?
12:06 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
12:06 Ant McPartlin? And you get used to kind of watching, I used to love watching the football in the pub. And I used to love a big screen and I like, used to like getting there early and getting your seat and especially for big tournaments like the World Cup or the Euros or something. Now I don't drink and I watch a lot of games at home. The idea of going back out to watch it in a really busy pub where I can't really hear the commentary and I can't really focus on what's going on. Kind of puts me right off. So if we do get to the final, I'm really stuck because I kind of want the atmosphere and I want to be part of. But I really enjoy watching it at home because you do, you do, you end up just getting distracted by so many things, especially me.
12:51 Ant McPartlin? I'm so ADHD. Like, ooh, he's got a nice shirt. Well, yeah, that, that shirt is, you've got a nice retro shirt. Oh, missed a goal. I'm glad you're saying that. I missed Jude Bellingham's win and goal.
13:05 Ant McPartlin? I missed it.
13:06 Declan Donnelly? Against Norway?
13:07 Ant McPartlin? Against Norway.
13:09 Ant McPartlin? So, we'd gone to extra time.
13:11 Declan Donnelly? What, did you go to the toilet?
13:13 Ant McPartlin? No, I didn't go to the toilet. The telly went into auto power saving mode. You know when you get like sixty seconds? That big box comes in the middle. Press any button to continue. But there's three remotes?
13:26 Speaker 03 No.
13:27 Ant McPartlin? And I'm like, which remote is it? So, I pick up one remote and, and a friend I was watching with goes, I'll press it. I was like, don't you press it! It's not my remote. Because I thought if you press that, you're gonna reconfigure the whole telly. And then, I said, I tell you what we'll do. I said, I'll just quickly turn it off. Wait ten seconds and I'll quickly turn it back on again. So, we quickly turned off the telly, right? Because I couldn't work out which remote it was. Quickly turned off the telly. It went black. And then, it wouldn't turn back on. And then, from across the way, there's a hotel round the, over the road. And we could just hear, oh, yeah! I was like, they've scored on a rebound.
14:08 Ant McPartlin? And I could tell it was a rebound, because you could hear the, oh, or he hit the post or something, yeah!
14:14 Declan Donnelly? So, because the keeper, eh, caught it, didn't he? And then spilled it.
14:17 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, and then Jude Bellingham came in.
14:19 Declan Donnelly? Keeper caught it, spilled it, and then Jude Bellingham. So that was the, oh.
14:23 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
14:23 Declan Donnelly? And Jude Bellingham.
14:24 Ant McPartlin? Eh, was the goal.
14:25 Declan Donnelly? Oh my god.
14:26 Ant McPartlin? And by the time the auto power saved bloody thing, it sorted itself out. I missed it. It came back to life.
14:33 Declan Donnelly? Turn the TV back on?
14:34 Ant McPartlin? I ran inside.
14:35 Declan Donnelly? Out of two one.
14:35 Ant McPartlin? It was an outside telly. I ran inside. I switched the telly on inside. And while there's a steep so, I was going, eh! Silently celebrating. And then I ran back outside to watch it. I missed it. Missed the whole thing.
14:48 Declan Donnelly? Did you have, um, a lot of anxiety chocolate during the match this time round?
14:52 Ant McPartlin? I did.
14:52 Declan Donnelly? What did you eat? More Toblerone?
14:54 Ant McPartlin? I didn't have Toblerone. Because, um... After what happened last time when it looked like that.
15:00 Declan Donnelly? After the last incident.
15:01 Ant McPartlin? Um, I had four packs of sneakers. Oh, it's on. Mini golf, mini golf, mini golf.
15:05 Declan Donnelly? Is it me?
15:06 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
15:07 Declan Donnelly? Oh, right. So we teed off seven forty four a m. It was absolutely beautiful. The sun was up. Uh, still a little bit of a chill in the air and out I pulled my Callaway Square driver. Now, this is an old style, oh, an old style driver, but it it goes straight as an arrow. First tee, bang, right down the middle. And then iron play was working well. Me chipping wasn't so good. But I was putting quite well. Ah, quick. Uh, I was putting quite well. Uh, the course was immaculate. It was absolutely brilliant. It was crisp and fresh. There was a little bit of dew on the ground.
15:47 Declan Donnelly? But you could just get under the ball and flick it off the fairways onto the green where it lands softly. Um, it has been the best. We've already got more golf booked in. Um, we're playing at least twice a week while we're here. Perfect conditions, t-shirt and shirts. T-shirt, t-shirts and shorts. It's the best.
16:10 Ant McPartlin? Oh, time out.
16:12 Declan Donnelly? It's the best. It's the best conditions for golf.
16:15 Ant McPartlin? I see. That's all you can talk about.
16:17 Declan Donnelly? Uh, do I get another one later?
16:19 Ant McPartlin? Nah, now it's me next.
16:21 Declan Donnelly? Is that it?
16:22 Ant McPartlin? That's it. Next week you'll get one, but that's it.
16:25 Declan Donnelly? Next week?
16:26 Ant McPartlin? Next week? Is that the rules?
16:28 Speaker 03 That's the rules.
16:29 Ant McPartlin? What if hilarious things happen on the golf course? Then does that have to um be within our sixty seconds? Or is that just a catch-up story?
16:40 Speaker 03 If it is truly hilarious.
16:43 Ant McPartlin? Hmm, who to fight truly?
16:47 Ant McPartlin? You do. Right, fine. Okay, okay.
16:50 Speaker 03 Put it in writing.
16:51 Ant McPartlin? Okay, we'll submit it to Heckless Corner and then you let us know.
16:55 Declan Donnelly? For approval.
16:56 Ant McPartlin? Okay, thanks. Oh, God, it's nice to be on holiday though. Um, if you're listening to this on your holidays, happy holidays, guys. If you're listening to this on the way to work, soz, but hopefully you've got a holiday coming up soon. Hopefully.
17:12 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, hopefully you are sitting on a sun lounger somewhere. Watching the world go by, maybe on the beach, looking at the sea, maybe around the pool, looking at the kids on inflatables.
17:22 Ant McPartlin? Maybe trekking up a mountain somewhere.
17:24 Declan Donnelly? But having a lovely time. Happy holidays, guys.
17:27 Ant McPartlin? Happy holidays.
17:29 Declan Donnelly? If you, like us, are on a holiday at the moment, then we would love to hear from you. We would love to hear where you are, what you're doing. Is it an activity holiday? Is it a relaxing holiday? Is it a city break? Is it a spa? Anything at all. Let us know what you're doing, where you're going, who you're with. And also, while you're there, you could do a little bit of guerrilla marketing for the podcast.
17:49 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, please.
17:50 Declan Donnelly? Spread the word of hanging out on holiday.
17:51 Ant McPartlin? We can start like a hanging out tourist board.
17:54 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
17:55 Ant McPartlin? Let us know where you are and then you can advertise the pod for us in far-flung places around the world.
18:02 Declan Donnelly? You, if you do that, you could become our regional manager.
18:04 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
18:05 Declan Donnelly? Of the, of the hanging out tourist board.
18:07 Ant McPartlin? Or foreign correspondents all over the world.
18:10 Declan Donnelly? Correspondents. That'd be great. Yeah. Let us know where you're on holiday and let us know if it's any good. Give us a banana written out of it, should we go there and try it. So yeah, if you're on a holiday.
18:21 Declan Donnelly? You've got your banana ready. And it's got a little cheeky banana in case he gets peckish during the pod.
18:24 Ant McPartlin? I've got two bananas. I'll sign this.
18:27 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
18:27 Ant McPartlin? Who's going to sign it? Hekler's Corner. Oh, that can, that can, so I can't snap it, can I, until? Ooh, here we go again. This was just going to be my mid-morning snack, but now it's, it's a world record attempt practice.
18:44 Declan Donnelly? But now it's a quick mid-morning snack. Ready?
18:47 Ant McPartlin? See how quick it is. Ready?
18:49 Declan Donnelly? On your marks, get set, go.
19:00 Ant McPartlin? Don't laugh him. That's done.
19:07 Declan Donnelly? So if we remember rightly, the record was eight bananas in 60 seconds.
19:14 Ant McPartlin? Done.
19:16 Declan Donnelly? Okay, that's good. That is very good.
19:18 Ant McPartlin? What's that?
19:19 Declan Donnelly? One banana in 21.9 seconds. So you're on course there for two, two, three bananas.
19:27 Ant McPartlin? Okay, okay. I need to get that sub 10 seconds really, don't I?
19:31 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you need to.
19:32 Ant McPartlin? That's pretty good though, guys.
19:38 Declan Donnelly? Mini golf.
19:39 Ant McPartlin? It's me, mini golf. Um, right. I'm glad I've got you. Um, 60 seconds. My driver's not working.
19:46 Declan Donnelly? Oh, no.
19:47 Ant McPartlin? For those of you that don't play golf, in a set of golf clubs, the biggest club you've got is the driver. It's the one you tee off with the most. I, like Deck, used to play with a Callaway square driver and I never, ever missed a fairway. Well, occasionally in, in the course of, you know, 10 years, whatever. Anyway, as I, they're getting old now and they've since stopped doing them under Deck. They don't, Callaway don't make them anymore. So I've moved on to, I've got tailor-made clubs at the minute. I just can't get it off the tee as well as I can with the square. But the square, the grip doesn't work. It's, it's all battered. Uh, I bought one off a second-hand golf site because I couldn't use the new one.
20:29 Ant McPartlin? So the, so the new one I've got is still second-hand and I'm going to have to go back to play with that. Cause there's not, I can't find a driver, which is as good. So, and McLaren don't even do drivers.
20:41 Declan Donnelly? Oh, yeah.
20:42 Ant McPartlin? They just do irons. So even if I'd bought a McLaren club.
20:44 Speaker 03 Quiet, quiet, please.
20:48 Ant McPartlin? See, you'd think that the audience want the end of that, don't you? You know what I mean? They're so passionate.
20:55 Speaker 03 You can tell them next week.
20:57 Ant McPartlin? Next week?
20:58 Speaker 03 Yeah.
20:59 Ant McPartlin? Okay. We should just have to start a new golf podcast without these girls.
21:04 Declan Donnelly? But now, now that you've, um, you've obviously ended your spending ban before we came away on holiday.
21:08 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
21:09 Declan Donnelly? You bought those lime green, um, fluorescent.
21:12 Ant McPartlin? Yellow trainers.
21:13 Declan Donnelly? Fluorescent, yellow trainers.
21:14 Ant McPartlin? Banana trainers, yep.
21:16 Declan Donnelly? Um, can you now go and buy golf clubs?
21:19 Ant McPartlin? I can, but do you know what? Haven't done the spending ban. It's still, I'm still a bit more restrained than I was.
21:26 Declan Donnelly? You haven't had loads of deliveries to the house?
21:28 Ant McPartlin? No, unlike you.
21:30 Declan Donnelly? Well, no.
21:31 Ant McPartlin? Cause when I saw your wife the other day, she was like, he needs to do a spending ban. Cause every time the door goes, it's a parcel for him.
21:39 Declan Donnelly? So all of those parcels that come to my house are all from my account. So it's my Amazon account. It's my, all my accounts, they're all in my name. So obviously every parcel is gonna be for me with my name on it. But I open it and go, oh, this isn't mine. This is for you. This is for you. But they're all coming because I, I hold all the accounts. In fact, I got one the other day. You know, when you get an email saying there will be a parcel delivered today between ten o'clock and twelve o'clock.
22:03 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
22:04 Declan Donnelly? I got one of these the other day and me heart skipped a beat. I was like, what is going on here? So it said, lis- listen to this. I thought I was in for the holiday of a lifetime.
22:18 Declan Donnelly? Listen to this. So I got an email. It said, your parcel from Intimate Lingerie will be delivered between ten and twelve.
22:29 Ant McPartlin? Woo hoo.
22:30 Declan Donnelly? I was like, Mrs. D's been on a spend up for holidays. She has been on a spend up. I'm in for a treat for holiday. Intimate lingerie is arriving.
22:40 Ant McPartlin? Brilliant. Good for you.
22:42 Declan Donnelly? I was like, oh, just to go, I was walking around with a spring in me step. I thought, what is going on here?
22:48 Ant McPartlin? Ten foot tall.
22:49 Declan Donnelly? And then I got another one saying, your parcel from Intimate Lingerie will be delivered today. I was like, oh my God, it's coming.
22:58 Declan Donnelly? And then, and then I remembered I bought six pairs of underpants for holiday and it was my delivery.
23:05 Ant McPartlin? No way. How intimate were these briefs?
23:08 Declan Donnelly? Well, I don't know why, cause they, my pants, I didn't buy my pants.
23:13 Declan Donnelly? No, I've not bought people underpants.
23:16 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, put it out there.
23:18 Declan Donnelly? Uh, but I don't know why. They're my, they're my normal pants that I wear. But for some reason, they're being delivered by a company called Intimate Lingerie.
23:27 Ant McPartlin? Did they come in discreet packaging?
23:29 Declan Donnelly? No, not particularly, no.
23:32 Declan Donnelly? But yeah, so I wasn't as lucky as I thought on a little bit.
23:37 Speaker 03 Have you guys seen any celebs on the golf course yet? Because that's the kind of golf chat we care about.
23:41 Ant McPartlin? No, no, thanks, thanks.
23:44 Declan Donnelly? Haven't seen any celebrity golfers out here.
23:45 Ant McPartlin? We normally play golf with Peter Jones when we're out here, you know, Dragon's Den, the dragon, that is Peter Jones. But I haven't seen him yet.
23:53 Declan Donnelly? A few of the lads. He might be filming Dragon's Den. Does he film it? I don't know.
23:58 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I'm not sure.
24:00 Declan Donnelly? Dragon's Den, it's good, isn't it?
24:02 Ant McPartlin? Oh, it's still brilliant. I absolutely love it.
24:05 Declan Donnelly? I love inventions. No.
24:08 Ant McPartlin? Why?
24:08 Declan Donnelly? I'd invest in everything. Be like, oh, I know you haven't got your business plan up to scratch, but I'll put a little bit of money in anyway.
24:15 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, but you see, yeah, I'd be exactly the same. I wouldn't be like Deborah Meaden who puts money in nothing. And I would, yeah, I'd end up, and I wouldn't be very good on the lads either. You know, when they have their little notepads and they've got their pens and they're like, so what's your gross profit? Blah, blah, blah. I'd be like,
24:34 Ant McPartlin? I'm just, I'm just doodled again.
24:37 Speaker 03 Well, when you see him next, we've, we've actually got a couple of kind of inventions that we've.
24:43 Declan Donnelly? You have got inventions.
24:44 Ant McPartlin? You do?
24:46 Speaker 03 Yeah, we invent stuff in Heckless Corner.
24:48 Ant McPartlin? Oh, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, guys, I'm not gonna click off of them and then pitch him your inventions. But let's hear them anyway, because this sounds fun.
24:57 Speaker 03 Why don't we start where you give us a banana rating?
25:00 Declan Donnelly? Okay.
25:00 Speaker 03 And if you give anything eight, then maybe.
25:03 Declan Donnelly? Then it has to be pitched. Okay.
25:05 Speaker 03 You take it to Peter.
25:05 Declan Donnelly? All right, okay.
25:06 Speaker 03 Does that work?
25:07 Declan Donnelly? Good idea. Yeah, yeah, we'll try that.
25:08 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, okay. So it's like a pre-Dragon's Den.
25:11 Speaker 03 Yeah.
25:12 Ant McPartlin? Banana Den.
25:13 Speaker 03 Yeah, we could, yeah, we can call it the Hectery.
25:18 Declan Donnelly? We can, we can call it that if you like.
25:21 Ant McPartlin? You can call it that. I'll call it something else.
25:24 Declan Donnelly? So these are like life hacks as well as inventions?
25:27 Speaker 03 Yeah, because that's why I invent stuff. Right, go on, Lola. I've got, I think mine's really good.
25:32 Declan Donnelly? We'll be the judge of that.
25:34 Speaker 03 If you're at home as a girl and you're fake tanning, maybe a man too, actually. You're fake tanning and you're on your own in the home, you can't get to your back. So you get a coat hanger. You slip the mitt onto the side of it, like the triangle end, then he can reach your back. And he can turn your back and then you don't ever need anyone else in your life.
25:57 Declan Donnelly? That's very good.
25:59 Ant McPartlin? That's very good. That is good.
26:00 Speaker 03 I think, I think it's quite good.
26:02 Declan Donnelly? Does that not exist?
26:03 Speaker 03 No.
26:04 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, cause, well, it does exist, cause you, you do it.
26:07 Speaker 03 Yeah.
26:07 Declan Donnelly? But it feels like, it feels like, it feels like it should be a product already.
26:12 Speaker 03 I don't think it is. An extendable back tanner.
26:16 Ant McPartlin? Extendable back tanner.
26:18 Speaker 03 Yeah.
26:19 Ant McPartlin? Okay.
26:20 Declan Donnelly? I like it.
26:20 Ant McPartlin? That's, that's not bad. That's not bad at all.
26:22 Declan Donnelly? For sun cream?
26:24 Speaker 03 Exactly. On holiday. Cause that's the, you won't, you'll avoid your weird sunburn marks.
26:29 Declan Donnelly? I'll try, but.
26:30 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, you will.
26:32 Speaker 03 I think.
26:32 Ant McPartlin? That's good. I like that.
26:33 Declan Donnelly? I like it.
26:34 Speaker 03 Take it to the dragon.
26:37 Ant McPartlin? It's useful. We can mass produce it.
26:40 Speaker 03 Exactly.
26:41 Ant McPartlin? It works all around the world, every territory.
26:45 Declan Donnelly? Every language.
26:46 Ant McPartlin? Apart from like Norway and Iceland, cause they wanna tan their backs. It's cold up there, innit?
26:51 Declan Donnelly? But they'll wanna go on holiday.
26:53 Ant McPartlin? But they will wanna go on holiday, right?
26:54 Speaker 03 Even moisturizer.
26:56 Ant McPartlin? Even moisturizer.
26:57 Speaker 03 Possibilities are endless. I know.
26:59 Declan Donnelly? Well, they're not endless.
26:59 Ant McPartlin? Well, they're not endless. We've kind of, we've ended them.
27:02 Declan Donnelly? It's moisturizer, tan or sun cream. That's, they are.
27:05 Speaker 03 Or an itch. Yeah.
27:07 Ant McPartlin? That's a different thing. That's, that's, you should really get out there and dominate the world with the extendable, um, tan and mitt.
27:15 Speaker 03 Okay.
27:16 Ant McPartlin? Then you can do scratcher afterwards. Cause I think, I think the scratcher is out there already.
27:20 Speaker 03 I think.
27:20 Declan Donnelly? Is the scratcher a different attachment?
27:22 Speaker 03 Yeah. See, we can have different heads.
27:25 Declan Donnelly? Different heads.
27:27 Speaker 03 A loofah. You could pop a loofah on as well. Yeah.
27:29 Declan Donnelly? To exfoliate.
27:30 Speaker 03 Yeah. Yeah.
27:31 Declan Donnelly? In the shower. So the possibilities are now four.
27:34 Speaker 03 Yeah. How many bananas?
27:37 Ant McPartlin? It's pretty good. I'm I'm still reluctant to pitch it on the golf course. So. Six.
27:47 Declan Donnelly? I would love that. He would just look at you like, have you gone mad?
27:51 Ant McPartlin? Hey, Chris Shaw, Peter, well done. Have you ever heard of an extendable tanning mitt?
27:59 Declan Donnelly? Oh, that's very good. I'm gonna give you six bananas, because I've got a feeling this must exist already.
28:05 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. But it's a good idea. Next into the hectory is.
28:12 Speaker 03 Freeze your coffee in ice cubes and then you've got frozen coffee.
28:18 Speaker 03 So you don't, because you know, when you put ice in an iced coffee, it gets a bit diluted. So if you just freeze the coffee from the get go. Freeze the espresso. Yeah, freeze espresso, pop your ice cubes in a glass.
28:32 Speaker 03 Pour some milk in. Milk over. And you've got iced coffee.
28:34 Declan Donnelly? But they've never got a way for it to melt.
28:37 Speaker 03 Yes.
28:39 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
28:39 Declan Donnelly? So I'm gonna enjoy this nice coffee now.
28:41 Speaker 03 It lasts longer.
28:43 Ant McPartlin? I don't need a banana rate that, do we? It's no banana.
28:46 Declan Donnelly? I don't drink coffee at all, so the thought of iced coffee is even worse than the thought of coffee. So I'm out. So I'm out.
28:56 Ant McPartlin? I love coffee. I love iced coffee, and I am also out.
29:00 Speaker 03 Okay, well, I've got two. One's more of an invention, one's more of a hack.
29:05 Ant McPartlin? You wanna give one to Fiona, so she has a good one.
29:09 Speaker 03 Can I go again? Do you want to go? No, I don't. I don't have anything. Okay, what about this? Freeze the bottle of water, put it behind a fan, air conditioning.
29:19 Ant McPartlin? Does that work?
29:20 Declan Donnelly? Does it work?
29:21 Speaker 03 Yeah.
29:22 Ant McPartlin? Does it?
29:23 Speaker 03 Yeah. Yeah, that's what we're saying. It does work.
29:28 Ant McPartlin? I've seen, why'd you put it behind and not in front?
29:31 Speaker 03 I'm not sure, but that's what that's what you're meant to do.
29:33 Ant McPartlin? Because I've seen people on like social media and during the heatwave in the UK, like getting ice cubes and putting them in a bowl. I'm sure they put like the fan there and then they put the.
29:43 Speaker 03 Oh, in front.
29:44 Ant McPartlin? I'm sure they do. So it's like blowing the coal there across you.
29:48 Speaker 03 Well, then mine is different. From theirs because it's behind.
29:52 Declan Donnelly? Ah.
29:52 Ant McPartlin? Ah, ah.
29:54 Speaker 03 That's my, that's my USP.
29:56 Declan Donnelly? I'd, I mean, I'd have to test it. You've got to test it. Got to test the theory.
30:01 Ant McPartlin? There's loads of, there's actually, hold on, there's fans out there you can buy, like those units where you put ice cubes in the bottom. And then it circulates.
30:09 Speaker 03 Coffee ice cubes.
30:11 Ant McPartlin? Coffee ice cubes.
30:13 Declan Donnelly? You can have a cool coffee aroma.
30:16 Speaker 03 Your, your wife would love that.
30:21 Declan Donnelly? Who'd be blown off your arm?
30:24 Speaker 03 So it's a no?
30:24 Declan Donnelly? About that. No.
30:25 Ant McPartlin? No, I mean, all of the things in your product exist already. It's just a case of whether you put it in the front or the back.
30:32 Declan Donnelly? Imagine being.
30:32 Ant McPartlin? Big question. For now, for now.
30:35 Declan Donnelly? Imagine being on the golf course going, oh, Peter, that looks like a delicious bottle of water you're drinking there. Have you ever thought about putting that behind a fan?
30:43 Ant McPartlin? Freezing it and putting it behind a fan.
30:46 Declan Donnelly? Try it.
30:47 Ant McPartlin? Uh, no bananas on for it.
30:48 Declan Donnelly? No. Well, I think we've got half a good idea there, Lola, with the mitt, with the endless stroke, four to five possibilities. But if you're out there watching and listening, if you can do any better, send us your life hacks or ideas for inventions, send them to us. And we'll give them the right good going over here at hangingoutatbeltbox.com.
31:10 Ant McPartlin? And if they're good, I'll pitch them to Peter Jones on the golf course.
31:15 Ant McPartlin? I'll tell you what happened on day two of my holiday. Went for an ice cream, as you do.
31:21 Declan Donnelly? Oh, love it. What did you have?
31:23 Ant McPartlin? Proper gelato, ice cream. Me and the kids went with arms. So we all went, we all stood in the queue while I was very excited. So the kids went first. The girls had, Poppy and Daisy had like a sorbet. Just a nice little refreshing sorbet.
31:39 Declan Donnelly? You're on holiday.
31:40 Ant McPartlin? Heckless corners nodding. Would you get a sorbet?
31:42 Speaker 03 Sorbet, yeah.
31:43 Ant McPartlin? You get a sorbet?
31:43 Speaker 03 On holiday. I would never get a sorbet.
31:45 Ant McPartlin? You're on holiday, man.
31:46 Declan Donnelly? In a cone?
31:47 Ant McPartlin? Live and.
31:48 Declan Donnelly? Would you get a sorbet in a cone?
31:49 Ant McPartlin? No, they got them in tucks. While I got like a sprinkly. Fun thing. Um. And I went last because I was paying. I was all right. I'll go last. I'll go last. I went, I'll have a cone. And I'll have two scoops, please. And like, and then all they'd all got out the way of the glass. So I could see the ice cream. That's why I say you guys go first because I I can't stand when you can't see it because then you make a snap judgment and then you'll choose something. And then when when the queue clears, you'll see all the better ice creams. And I'm like, right, what do we have?
32:21 Declan Donnelly? Always on your shortlist.
32:23 Ant McPartlin? Well, there was loads. Coffee ice cream, which I just started getting into.
32:27 Declan Donnelly? Yuck.
32:27 Ant McPartlin? No, I'm telling you, it's good. Um. So it was coffee, but I didn't go for that. Um. There was a lot of different ones. I would have gone mint choc chip, which I know you're a fan of Declan.
32:38 Declan Donnelly? I love.
32:38 Ant McPartlin? Uh. I didn't go for that.
32:40 Declan Donnelly? It's like a chocolate lime.
32:42 Ant McPartlin? There's no chocolate limes. Funny that. No chocolate limes because nobody likes it. Um. So I went for double scoop, very particular vanilla. On the bottom and a praline on the top. So two massive scoops on a big or the cone was massive. It was like this size. So I'm like licking away. I turn up here, bloop the thing, turn around and I go, hey, and all the kids are like. Double scoop. I was like, double scoop. And both of the scoops fall off the corn onto the ground.
33:16 Ant McPartlin? They kill themselves laughing. And everybody else starts laughing, like not just my family, other families and grown men.
33:24 Declan Donnelly? All passing by.
33:25 Ant McPartlin? Somebody was pointing at the ice cream on the floor.
33:29 Ant McPartlin? Like, and like in a ha ha Simpsons moment. Shout out to the woman uh who will never listen to this because uh she lives abroad. Uh. But she gave me two free scoops.
33:40 Declan Donnelly? Oh, that's nice.
33:41 Ant McPartlin? She saw it happen. The one that works at the ice cream shop, she said, no, sir, sir, come back, come back. So she gave us two free scoops, which was very nice. A good egg. But she pressed them down really hard so I didn't um so they didn't wobble off again. I can add that to my holiday bingo card. Ice cream falling off the cone. Tick. We should do that. We should do it. We should do a little bingo card.
34:01 Declan Donnelly? What's a holiday bingo card?
34:02 Ant McPartlin? Well, you know, certain things that are gonna happen to you on holiday.
34:06 Declan Donnelly? Okay, right, right, right.
34:06 Ant McPartlin? Like like that. That is a good one. Burn your back is another good. Oh, oh, for you, burn your feet. Burn, burn your plums. Not your plums. Not your plums. Burn your feet.
34:18 Ant McPartlin? You will get burnt at some point.
34:21 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I always get a little weird sunburn. You know, you put your cake cream everywhere and then there's, you get like a strip down here. You go, how did I miss that? Where has that come from?
34:31 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
34:31 Declan Donnelly? So it's always a weird, weird bit of sunburn.
34:33 Ant McPartlin? Drop an ice cream, that's a good one for me, right? And weird burn would be another one for you.
34:39 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
34:40 Ant McPartlin? And I always hurt myself. There's always a cut somewhere. It's normally on my feet. And it's a real shame because I've got such good feet. You can tell that by WikiFeet. If you log on there.
34:53 Declan Donnelly? You always order something from a restaurant that you think is something else. And it turns out you go, oh, that's not what I thought it was.
35:01 Ant McPartlin? Yep. Shall we put that on the bingo card?
35:03 Declan Donnelly? Stick that on the bingo card.
35:05 Ant McPartlin? And then if you can, send in your suggestions, we'll add them to the bingo card and see if we can fill out our bingo card by the end of our holidays.
35:14 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
35:15 Ant McPartlin? Hanging out at beltabox.com. Time for a bit of an ad break. Can we go back to us in the studio for the ad? Because they're not on holiday.
35:24 Declan Donnelly? Let's go back to our aunt on holiday.
35:26 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, okay.
35:27 Declan Donnelly? Let's go back to our clones who are not on holiday, who are minding the fort back in the studio.
35:34 Ant McPartlin? This next segment is sponsored by Santander, who understand that heading to university is a big moment. And it's often the small, practical things that can make the biggest difference.
35:45 Declan Donnelly? So another agony aunt and dare here.
35:48 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
35:49 Declan Donnelly? And this is a student special. This one is from Jake.
35:53 Ant McPartlin? Hi Jake.
35:53 Declan Donnelly? Dear agony aunt and dare, I'm just finishing my second year of uni and to make ends meet, I've had a part-time job in a cafe and it's been great.
36:01 Ant McPartlin? Good.
36:01 Declan Donnelly? Nothing too stressful and it's fitted around my lectures. However, here's the but, we knew it was coming, didn't we? A few weeks ago, my manager pulled me to one side and said he thought I was doing really well and asked if I'd be interested in a supervisor role next year. More responsibility, slightly better pay.
36:17 Ant McPartlin? That's good.
36:18 Declan Donnelly? But also more hours, which would mean more clashes with lectures and probably less time for my actual degree. The money would genuinely help, but I came to university to get a degree, not work my way up the cafe management ladder. Thing is, I haven't said no yet and the longer I leave it, the more I feel like I'm stringing it along, which isn't fair because he's been really good to me. Do I take the job? And either way, how do I handle the conversation with my manager without burning a bridge that I might need next summer? Asks Jake.
36:47 Ant McPartlin? Jake, great letter. You've got to get on and talk to him, like sooner rather than later. Because, like you said, you're there for a degree. You're not there to work your way up the cafe ladder. So you just wanna keep the same job, I presume with the same money for the next two years. And that'll see you through uni. It's good money for you. It's good to be in a work environment, isn't it? It's good to meet people, have responsibilities.
37:14 Declan Donnelly? Especially in a cafe, which is so much so, so.
37:16 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I think you've just got to have that conversation. It's not burning bridges, is it?
37:19 Declan Donnelly? No, not at all. Not at all. I don't think you can put it in a really adult way.
37:23 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
37:23 Declan Donnelly? And that's the dilemma here. Like, you know, Jake, you're saying, do I take the job? I think you already know what the answer is to that. As Anne said, you're there to to get your degree. Um, so your dilemma isn't about the job, it's about how do you have the conversation? That's a much easier dilemma to solve, I think.
37:42 Ant McPartlin? And the answer, we think, is just do it.
37:45 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
37:46 Ant McPartlin? You can't overthink it.
37:47 Declan Donnelly? No.
37:48 Ant McPartlin? Your your intentions are true, so because they're true, you won't make a mistake.
37:53 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
37:53 Ant McPartlin? And just be honest.
37:54 Declan Donnelly? And it's something along the lines of, I love working here at the cafe. Thank you so much for the offer. I was really tempted. However, my uni studies have to take precedence right now.
38:05 Ant McPartlin? But I'll continue doing the same job.
38:07 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
38:08 Ant McPartlin? For the same pay, the same role.
38:09 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, and continue to work as hard.
38:11 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, that is the best one we've done ever.
38:15 Declan Donnelly? Ever?
38:15 Ant McPartlin? Ever.
38:16 Declan Donnelly? Ever.
38:16 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I think it is.
38:18 Declan Donnelly? That's that's a genuine bit of advice we've given there.
38:20 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it is.
38:20 Declan Donnelly? A lot of the time it's quite flowery. Let's be honest. A lot of the time we try and get out of making decisions. But that one, that was proper advice, that.
38:28 Ant McPartlin? Saying that, neither of us have been in university or worked in a cafe.
38:33 Declan Donnelly? I've been to a cafe, though. I love it.
38:34 Ant McPartlin? Yes, I have. I've been to uni, so we know a lot.
38:37 Declan Donnelly? Dear Agony Anton Day, my son is starting his first year at Newcastle Uni.
38:41 Ant McPartlin? Yay, two, two.
38:42 Declan Donnelly? And he's really concerned about the cost. So am I, but I'm not going to tell him that.
38:46 Ant McPartlin? Right.
38:47 Declan Donnelly? He's also a bit of a homebird, so I know he'll want to travel back a lot. It's great that we'll see him lots, but he isn't going to learn how to drive until he's graduated. And nor is he interested in getting a job. That means it'll likely be me picking him up from Newcastle, or likely the bank of mum and dad will have to pay for him to get the train back to Grantham. Handy, it's on the east coast mainland.
39:06 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it is.
39:07 Declan Donnelly? Any tips on how I can encourage him to be open to part-time work whilst he studies? From Steve. So you've got to try, how does he instill some sort of work ethic into his son, Ant?
39:18 Ant McPartlin? Good luck, good luck, pal. I think, yes, he might be a homebody, but until they go and have that uni experience up somewhere like Newcastle, they won't understand how much fun it is. And they meet new people, like minded people. It's not like school where you're kind of thrown together. You're going to a place where you want to learn something with people who are like you, who want to learn about the same subject as you. So already it's, it's kind of, it's got more niche. So therefore you're probably bound to get on more than you ever did with anyone at school. So he will want to stay there longer than coming back more, I think. I think you'll be surprised at how much he wants to stay in Newcastle because Newcastle is a really fun city.
40:03 Declan Donnelly? Yes, very, very social.
40:04 Ant McPartlin? And it doesn't have to be uber bougie or expensive.
40:07 Declan Donnelly? Do you think he will get there and when other friends and people in his ear are getting part-time jobs, that he'll go, hmm, maybe I could do a bit of that and get a bit of extra cash?
40:17 Ant McPartlin? And I think that one thing, once he sees them with that extra bit of cash and what that cash allows them to do, he'll be like, oh, maybe I can get a job. That's exactly what'll happen. And besides getting a part-time job, there's loads of other ways he can be smart with his money.
40:31 Declan Donnelly? Yes, there are. Like if you open a Santander Edge Student Current Account, it gives you access to a free 16 to 25 year old rail card where you can save a third on train fares.
40:42 Ant McPartlin? And if he uses the train a lot, which it sounds like he does, or he would do, then he could put aside what he's saved from using his student rail card to achieve something that's important to him, like saving for his driving lessons. So win-win for both of you.
40:57 Declan Donnelly? Yes, there's more to the account than just a rail card as well. There's an interest-free arranged overdraft for those tricky moments when you really need it. There's free cash withdrawals abroad and everyday savings through boosts at places like Trainline and Just Eat.
41:12 Ant McPartlin? So it's a proper little toolkit for someone finding their feet, which sounds exactly like what he needs.
41:18 Declan Donnelly? And that's what Santander are all about, encouraging you to take charge of your money and make small, practical steps that can move you forward.
41:26 Ant McPartlin? Visit santander.co.uk or search Santander Edge Student Current Account.
41:31 Declan Donnelly? Santander, it starts here.

41:49 Declan Donnelly? Is that your telephone voice?
41:50 Speaker 03 Yes.
41:51 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, you tell, you tell. This next bit is brought to you by TV Licensing.
41:56 Ant McPartlin? What have you been watching?
41:57 Declan Donnelly? Oh, well, can we just talk about both BBC's and ITV's coverage of this summer's World Cup?
42:04 Ant McPartlin? It's brilliant.
42:05 Declan Donnelly? Has it not been amazing?
42:06 Ant McPartlin? It's been amazing.
42:07 Declan Donnelly? It has been brilliant.
42:07 Ant McPartlin? The pundits have been great on both sides. I've liked the punditry, but I particularly enjoyed ITV's set, which we've talked about.
42:15 Declan Donnelly? Which we visited.
42:16 Ant McPartlin? We visited out in New York, but it looks great. It's like a star of its own. But the football's been out of this world.
42:25 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
42:25 Ant McPartlin? The stars have shone when it comes to the global superstars of the game and they're still in it, which is great to see, scoring goals for fun. Careers getting lengthened, records are getting broken. Loved it, man.
42:39 Declan Donnelly? It's been such a brilliant summer of football and the coverage has been amazing. I've absolutely loved it.
42:46 Ant McPartlin? I tell you what's going to be an interesting watch.
42:48 Declan Donnelly? Go on.
42:48 Ant McPartlin? The chase around the world.
42:49 Declan Donnelly? Yes, I'm interested in this.
42:51 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
42:51 Declan Donnelly? So it's pairs of contestants and they go around the world.
42:55 Ant McPartlin? Solving puzzles as they go around the world.
42:57 Declan Donnelly? And trying to track down the chasers.
42:59 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
42:59 Declan Donnelly? Where I think then they take the chasers on to win a life-changing prize. This is going to be epic.
43:07 Ant McPartlin? It's just intriguing as to what it's going to look like and what it's going to sound like and be like because it's a quiz show.
43:15 Declan Donnelly? And we both, we both love The Chase.
43:17 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, we love The Chase, but it's a quiz show, so how is that going to work around the world?
43:22 Declan Donnelly? And translate, yeah. It's going to be really fascinating.
43:24 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
43:24 Declan Donnelly? And good old Bradley, he got to, he got to travel the world playing The Chase. Isn't that amazing?
43:31 Ant McPartlin? What a gig.
43:31 Declan Donnelly? What a gig.
43:32 Ant McPartlin? What a gig, Bradley. Retire. Give us someone else a go.
43:36 Declan Donnelly? A TV licence covers you to watch over 400 channels, including the ones we've talked about today and BBC iPlayer.
43:42 Ant McPartlin? To find out more, go to tvl.co.uk/pod.
43:49 Speaker 03 Hey, do you wanna play the know the game again?
43:51 Declan Donnelly? Oh, I love the know the game. So the know the game is, is there a the or is there not a the? For a band or is it movies and anything at all?
44:03 Speaker 03 Anything at all.
44:04 Ant McPartlin? Anything at all.
44:05 Declan Donnelly? Is there a the or is there no the?
44:07 Speaker 03 Okay, so I want your answers to be the or should the answer be? Know the or no the?
44:17 Ant McPartlin? I mean, you could do it like that, but I'd be very confused by the end of it.
44:21 Speaker 03 All right, Dec versus Ant, here we go. Carpenters.
44:26 Ant McPartlin? Oh, duh.
44:27 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
44:28 Speaker 03 Know the.
44:30 Ant McPartlin? What?
44:30 Declan Donnelly? What?
44:31 Speaker 03 There's no the.
44:32 Declan Donnelly? Is there not? There weren't the carpenters.
44:35 Ant McPartlin? The carpenters.
44:36 Speaker 03 Just carpenters.
44:37 Ant McPartlin? The carpenters aren't the carpenters. It's just carpenters.
44:41 Speaker 03 Carpenters.
44:43 Declan Donnelly? Really?
44:45 Speaker 03 Truman Show.
44:47 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
44:48 Ant McPartlin? What are you doing, Dec?
44:50 Speaker 03 Yeah, I'm confused, Dec.
44:52 Ant McPartlin? I don't get this. Know the. I get that the game, but I can't be the answer.
45:00 Speaker 03 Yeah, it's no, the.
45:02 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, but it all depends on how I'm reading your inflection.
45:07 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, so my inflection is.
45:09 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I'm clearly reading it wrong. This is stupid, this game.
45:13 Declan Donnelly? The inflection is there is a the.
45:16 Ant McPartlin? But it doesn't sound like that.
45:18 Declan Donnelly? It is, because if it was know the, I go, know the. But I go, no, the?
45:25 Declan Donnelly? Means there is a the.
45:25 Ant McPartlin? For god's sake.
45:28 Ant McPartlin? This is too much, I'm on me holidays. This is too much thing in time. It's too much brain power.
45:34 Declan Donnelly? There's definitely the Truman Show.
45:36 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, the.
45:38 Speaker 03 The, well done. Killers.
45:42 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
45:47 Ant McPartlin? What?
45:49 Speaker 03 Just ignore him.
45:50 Ant McPartlin? Just say yes or no?
45:54 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
45:54 Speaker 03 The.
45:54 Ant McPartlin? Yes, this, the.
45:56 Speaker 03 Yes, the.
45:57 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
45:57 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
45:59 Speaker 03 Shut up! Talking Heads.
46:03 Ant McPartlin? Oh, that's a good one.
46:05 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
46:07 Ant McPartlin? Another.
46:08 Speaker 03 No, the.
46:09 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
46:12 Speaker 03 Lord of the Rings.
46:16 Ant McPartlin? Yes, the.
46:19 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
46:22 Speaker 03 The.
46:24 Speaker 03 Darkness.
46:26 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
46:28 Ant McPartlin? Yes, the.
46:29 Speaker 03 So you both think there's a the?
46:31 Ant McPartlin? Yes. I think it's yes. Do you think there's a yes, Deck, or no?
46:35 Speaker 03 Yes.
46:36 Ant McPartlin? Do you think there's a the? Jesus Christ! See, if we're confused, this must be the worst podcast that we've done for the listener. Thinking of it that way.
46:47 Declan Donnelly? I think it's very straightforward.
46:50 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
46:51 Ant McPartlin? Why even do you mind us getting confused, giving the answers?
46:55 Declan Donnelly? That means there's a the.
46:57 Speaker 03 Gorillas.
46:58 Ant McPartlin? No, the.
46:59 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
47:00 Speaker 03 No, the.
47:01 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
47:02 Speaker 03 Great Gatsby.
47:06 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
47:08 Ant McPartlin? The Great Gatsby, yes, yes.
47:11 Speaker 03 Yes, the.
47:12 Declan Donnelly? Yes. That's what I said.
47:15 Speaker 03 Cool.
47:17 Ant McPartlin? Cool, another.
47:20 Speaker 03 Gladiator.
47:21 Ant McPartlin? The movie.
47:24 Declan Donnelly? No, the.
47:25 Ant McPartlin? No, the.
47:26 Speaker 03 No, the. Well done. What are the scores? I'm not sure if this is correct, but I think.
47:32 Ant McPartlin? I won that, definitely.
47:33 Speaker 03 It's got Ant seven, Deck six, so the winner is Ant.
47:36 Ant McPartlin? Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
47:38 Declan Donnelly? I think I got them all right.
47:39 Ant McPartlin? Didn't even understand it halfway. I got a bit confused and didn't want to be here. But I'm really proud of my win.
47:48 Speaker 03 You're one apiece, each one again.
47:52 Declan Donnelly? Good game this, I like it.
47:54 Ant McPartlin? I don't like it, stupid. And I normally, I like stupid things, but it's confusingly stupid. It's like a logic puzzle. I hate them. I hate those kind of things. Do you know what I mean?
48:07 Declan Donnelly? What about the, uh, the one percent club?
48:10 Ant McPartlin? Never watch it. Does it matter? No.
48:12 Declan Donnelly? Cause you can't.
48:12 Ant McPartlin? I like him. I like Lee Mark. I think he's hilarious. Uh, and I like the show. You, I like the premise of the show.
48:21 Ant McPartlin? But.
48:21 Declan Donnelly? You just don't, you just don't like playing along.
48:23 Ant McPartlin? I just don't want to work that hard. My wife jumps in very early and guesses. And it's not like I, I haven't guessed. It's just, she just guesses really early and annoyingly gets it right.
48:34 Declan Donnelly? Oh, that's annoying.
48:35 Ant McPartlin? So just kind of, I'm like, don't, why? You've done it again?
48:39 Declan Donnelly? Oh my God, she's so annoying.
48:44 Declan Donnelly? She is so annoying.
48:46 Ant McPartlin? It's like her superpower. She'll work things out really quickly. You can't get anything past her. And she's got a very good sense of smell. She's got a really good sense of smell. She went like this, right? She picked up while the other week she went, oh, he's coming down with something. I went, what? And lo and behold, the next day he was ill. She only had a skin infection on the kids. I think, you want to go and, you're like a superhero?
49:10 Declan Donnelly? Wow.
49:11 Ant McPartlin? I know.
49:12 Declan Donnelly? That's a special talent.
49:13 Ant McPartlin? That is a special talent.
49:14 Declan Donnelly? That should be the, she should be the subject of like a, a box set kind of thing. Do you know what I mean? Like Dexter or House.
49:21 Ant McPartlin? The smeller.
49:22 Declan Donnelly? The smeller.
49:26 Ant McPartlin? That's what she is, the smeller. It's a good special talent. And that, it got me thinking, like, does anybody else have other special talents that, that you don't really think is a special talent until, until somebody else pointed out?
49:40 Declan Donnelly? I'm gonna get nuts out.
49:41 Speaker 03 That's good.
49:42 Ant McPartlin? That's a good superpower as well. There's billions of people on this planet, right? And we all think superpowers are being invisible or flying or whatever. But maybe that is like a sense of, great sense of smell, getting nuts out. That's your superpower. And we all just need to, what? That's your superpower.
50:01 Declan Donnelly? Oh, really?
50:02 Ant McPartlin? That's all you've got. That's all you've got. Celebrate it.
50:06 Declan Donnelly? Don't worry guys, I'm here.
50:08 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, not boy.
50:09 Declan Donnelly? To save the day.
50:10 Ant McPartlin? You have to be a boy. You can't even be a man. With that superpower, it has to be a boy. Not a boy.
50:17 Declan Donnelly? Have you got any plans for this afternoon? What are you doing today?
50:22 Ant McPartlin? What is that?
50:22 Declan Donnelly? What's that noise?
50:23 Ant McPartlin? What is that?
50:24 Declan Donnelly? That is a, that's a tombola machine back in, back in the studio. Why have you got a tombola machine?
50:32 Speaker 03 It's the holiday tombola.
50:34 Ant McPartlin? Holiday tombola and?
50:36 Speaker 03 And we do it and we pull out a number and that number corresponds to a question for you to answer.
50:42 Declan Donnelly? Ah, okay.
50:43 Speaker 03 About holidays. You ready?
50:45 Declan Donnelly? Holiday tombola.
50:47 Ant McPartlin? Holiday tombola, yeah, I like it. This is good, this is good.
50:49 Declan Donnelly? Let's spin the tombola.
50:51 Ant McPartlin? This is actually an item. This appears to be the first time on the pod we've had an item with a prop and everything. Well done. And it's tough for us to be on holiday for you to come up with this. What's the number? Fifteen?
51:04 Speaker 03 Fifteen. Fifteen. The question is, do you have a favourite memory of a holiday as a child?
51:09 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, well, for me it would be being in Ireland and running around the fields, like I say, chasing the cows and the sheep and doing all that. But I think I learned to drive in the fields. Like I drove a tractor and then I think I learned to drive my dad's car. When I was about 13, he taught me to drive in the field. So I really enjoyed that. That was good. And like coming back from holiday when you're 13 and going, yeah, I can drive now.
51:38 Ant McPartlin? That's a flex, isn't it? What a flex that is. I can drive now, guys.
51:42 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I learned to drive, I learned to drive on holiday, yeah.
51:47 Ant McPartlin? That's good, that's really good. Mine was on the first holiday where I went abroad to Tenerife with me mum and me auntie Catherine. It was me and my sister and we walked, we had a meal at night and it was in one of those, you know, cheap and cheerful restaurants where you've got pictures of the food on the outside.
52:09 Ant McPartlin? But I loved it. I loved everything about the smells, the how warm it felt. It was walking around. I still got that memory of walking around at night and it was warm. And it blew my mind that I could walk around somewhere still in shorts and a t-shirt and it still felt hot. And it was only Tenerife. It wasn't like it was the Middle East or you know how hot it can get in the Middle East in the in the summer. It was um and there was an outside arcade machine. And there was like six machines and I was given some potatoes and I was allowed to go and play on this arcade. And it was just like, I've just been thinking, I'm in heaven. That's it. That's it. Everything else can stop now. This is it. But I'm playing on an arcade machine outside in my shorts.
52:55 Declan Donnelly? Wasn't that a holiday um during a World Cup as well?
53:00 Ant McPartlin? That was, that was, that was uh Italian night, yeah.
53:03 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
53:04 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it was. And we got when England played Germany, it was a it was a draw, went to extra time. And then we were in the airport for extra time. And then it then it was going to penalties and we had to get on the plane. And we're like, oh my god, we're going to penalties, we have to get on the plane. So we got on the plane, they obviously didn't delay the plane. We got on the plane and we took off and then the captain had to inform us over the tannoy that England had lost some penalties to Germany. And there was men crying in. I remember seeing a guy with his head in his hands crying on the plane. And that's kind of when I realised what a big deal football is.
53:44 Declan Donnelly? That was um, that was Gaza's tears, wasn't it?
53:47 Ant McPartlin? Gaza's tears, that was, yeah. Chrissie Waddle scanning over the bar and, yeah.
53:52 Declan Donnelly? Gary Lineker, have a word with him, have a word with him.
53:56 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. Yeah, it was that. That was a big, that was a big deal. But it was, that's probably why I liked it as well, because there was proper uh World Cup fever in Tenerife. There was like, there was world flags all over the place. Um, it was like, do you remember that Italian nighty mascot, like the stick figure mascot with the colours of the Italian flag?
54:16 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, yeah.
54:17 Ant McPartlin? Everyone had those sticker books, those t-shirts. I love a World Cup summer.
54:22 Declan Donnelly? One more.
54:23 Ant McPartlin? One more, please.
54:24 Declan Donnelly? One more then I'm going for a swim. Right.
54:27 Speaker 03 Forty seven. Forty seven. What was the first foreign food that really blew your mind?
54:34 Declan Donnelly? Oh, Chinese. Yes.
54:39 Ant McPartlin? Chinese?
54:40 Declan Donnelly? Chinese food.
54:42 Ant McPartlin? What, when you went to China?
54:44 Declan Donnelly? No, no, I was in Newcastle.
54:47 Ant McPartlin? I think, I think because it's a holiday special, the question is more like, when you went on holiday, what blew your mind?
54:57 Declan Donnelly? Well, I'd never had Chinese food till I was about fourteen, fifteen. And my sister and I. No, no, in, in Newcastle, in Curtis Park.
55:06 Ant McPartlin? Not the question.
55:10 Declan Donnelly? Do you mean what food on holiday blew your mind?
55:12 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
55:14 Declan Donnelly? Chinese food on holiday.
55:19 Ant McPartlin? Cause it's different. Slightly different. Have you ever had Chinese food in China?
55:25 Declan Donnelly? No, I've had it in Singapore.
55:26 Ant McPartlin? It does count. Does count.
55:28 Declan Donnelly? Does it not?
55:29 Ant McPartlin? Nah, nah.
55:30 Declan Donnelly? I've had Chinese food in Singapore. Was that just Singaporean food? I'm not sure.
55:35 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I think it was Singaporean. We had Singapore noodles, the thin noodles, Singaporean food.
55:40 Declan Donnelly? And then we ordered like a, some sort of spicy chicken or something and it came and it did not look like the spicy chicken from back home, did it?
55:48 Ant McPartlin? Nah, it didn't.
55:49 Declan Donnelly? It's like it'd been poached, poached chicken and everything. You're like, what is that?
55:54 Ant McPartlin? What food blew my mind? I think I'll go back to the crisps.
55:58 Declan Donnelly? Foreign crisps?
55:59 Ant McPartlin? Foreign. Yeah, when you're a kid, like they had stickers in the crisps. I still remember that. Eating the crisps and thinking, and, and there were stickers inside the crisps. No, in cereal's used to get little toys, little figurines. When we were kids. Don't do it anymore. Um, but on holiday, yeah, all of these crisps, the bags were bigger. Now we've got, universally the bags are kind of the same size. It's kind of your kettle chip size or your walker size really, isn't it?
56:27 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, yeah.
56:29 Ant McPartlin? But those bigger kind of kettle chip sized bags didn't really exist in the UK, but they did abroad. So you'd go abroad, in Tennyree especially, and the, the bags were this big with stickers in. You know what? I can eat these all day. And no one cares.
56:47 Declan Donnelly? Uh, well, I think that's all we've got time for. We have got, uh, pools to get to. Uh, but we will be back on Monday with another bonus. We're going to do a bonus holiday special on Monday as well. So we'll be back for that.
57:01 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
57:01 Declan Donnelly? Um.
57:02 Ant McPartlin? It's been good. Have you enjoyed it? Let us know what you think. Let us know in the comments what you think of the pod and what you think of hanging out on holiday. Should we do it again next week? Okay, that was a yes.
57:12 Declan Donnelly? That was a yes. Um, keep everything coming in. Let us know where you're going on a holiday, all that malarkey. Give us a banana rating of where you are, whether we should visit there. Uh, and we will be back on Monday for the bonus.
57:25 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
57:25 Declan Donnelly? Until then.
57:27 Ant McPartlin? Respect, guys.
57:29 Declan Donnelly? See you later.
