  On today's show, and gets a little bit too explicit for me, there's one big sack.

• 0:31Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh blimey, here we go again.

• 0:33Ant McPartlin?

  Deck is a stickler for the rules.

• 0:36Declan Donnelly?

  She met us illegally.

• 0:37Ant McPartlin?

  It's not illegal.

• 0:38Declan Donnelly?

  When you boil it down, it's fraud. Beef with Jamie Oliver goes to a whole new level.

• 0:43Ant McPartlin?

  Mmm tasty. This is the start of the beef. We find out Deck's diary crush.

• 0:49Declan Donnelly?

  Well, in brackets, I've written, "Hello."

• 0:51Ant McPartlin?

  Ha ha ha!

• 0:53Declan Donnelly?

  And Gordon Ramsay pops into the studio.

• 0:56Ant McPartlin?

  [mimicking a dog barking] Koff, come on, get your [mimicking a dog barking] turned.

• 1:01Ant McPartlin?

  And of course, all your letters from the postbag.

• 1:03Declan Donnelly?

  Enjoy the show!

• 1:09Declan Donnelly?

  Hello, everybody!

• 1:11Ant McPartlin?

  Hello!

• 1:12Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, everyone. It's nice to see you all, welcome once again.

• 1:16Ant McPartlin?

  Can you sing it all?

• 1:17Declan Donnelly?

  To the hangout.

• 1:18Ant McPartlin?

  I can sing them all.

• 1:19Declan Donnelly?

  Welcome along, it's nice to be with you for another hanging out with him and me. Him being Anthony David McPartlin, me being Declan Joseph Oliver-Donnelly.

• 1:28Ant McPartlin?

  Michael Dolly.

• 1:29Declan Donnelly?

  Michael.

• 1:30Ant McPartlin?

  That's your confirmation name, named after a Maglanite.

• 1:33Declan Donnelly?

  How are you?

• 1:34Ant McPartlin?

  All right, thanks, how are you?

• 1:36Declan Donnelly?

  I'm good. How's your ears? Can you hear that yet?

• 1:38Ant McPartlin?

  Nope.

• 1:39Declan Donnelly?

  Still?

• 1:40Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, still.

• 1:40Declan Donnelly?

  This is crazy town.

• 1:42Ant McPartlin?

  It's not good. Apparently, I read on the internet that you shouldn't eat bananas because it's a wet food.

• 1:51Declan Donnelly?

  Eh, that's a lot of foods.

• 1:52Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you're right, you're right.

• 1:53Declan Donnelly?

  And really, why bananas?

• 1:54Ant McPartlin?

  I don't know why they're picking on bananas. I've got no idea, I don't eat them through me ear. But anyway, so, I don't know, I just had one.

• 2:03Declan Donnelly?

  You did as well, I saw you.

• 2:04Ant McPartlin?

  I was just about to say, yeah, I've just literally just had one.

• 2:08Declan Donnelly?

  You just did, yeah. You don't even know you're doing it now.

• 2:10Ant McPartlin?

  What? What? It's gone. It's gone. But apart from that, I'm all right, how are you?

• 2:16Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I'm good, thanks.

• 2:17Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 2:17Declan Donnelly?

  I'm good, I'm pleased to be here.

• 2:19Ant McPartlin?

  Good, for once.

• 2:22Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you're not normally pleased to be here?

• 2:23Declan Donnelly?

  No, I am normally pleased here, but I'm happy that we're here.

• 2:25Ant McPartlin?

  How's your week been?

• 2:27Declan Donnelly?

  How's me weekend? It's been alright, you know, it's been good.

• 2:31Ant McPartlin?

  Good.

• 2:32Declan Donnelly?

  Um, had a busier weekend than I thought I was gonna have.

• 2:36Ant McPartlin?

  Did you?

• 2:36Declan Donnelly?

  Last weekend, I thought it was gonna be quite chilled. Then I remembered, we had the parent teacher school quiz, charity quiz. We all go, raise money, there's an auction and a raffle and all that. And we have, we take part in a quiz. So I was there on a team with some other parents.

• 2:51Ant McPartlin?

  And how did you do?

• 2:52Declan Donnelly?

  We did okay, we came fourth.

• 2:54Ant McPartlin?

  Out of?

• 2:56Declan Donnelly?

  No, out of like twenty five.

• 2:57Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that's good, okay.

• 2:59Declan Donnelly?

  So we did alright, Champions League places.

• 3:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's good, top four, top four finish, well done, you're in Europe.

• 3:04Declan Donnelly?

  You're in Europe, we go around Europe now, um, playing other schools.

• 3:07Ant McPartlin?

  Teachers in Paris.

• 3:08Declan Donnelly?

  Schools around the, around Europe, yeah, European competition.

• 3:10Ant McPartlin?

  Next week, midweek.

• 3:12Declan Donnelly?

  Barcelona. So yeah, we did okay, uh, had a really nice night, but it was a late night. And you know, one or two drinks were taken.

• 3:19Ant McPartlin?

  Taken.

• 3:20Declan Donnelly?

  You know, imbibed.

• 3:21Ant McPartlin?

  Drunk, imbibed, who says imbibed? So what is this, your diary again? Imbibed?

• 3:28Declan Donnelly?

  One of, one or two drinks were hard.

• 3:30Ant McPartlin?

  You got drunk with teachers?

• 3:31Declan Donnelly?

  Got drunk with teachers.

• 3:32Ant McPartlin?

  They're like when they get drunk.

• 3:32Declan Donnelly?

  It's weird, isn't it? Cause you're like, you see them every morning at the school gate and going and like.

• 3:35Ant McPartlin?

  And they're a figure of authority.

• 3:37Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 3:37Ant McPartlin?

  And you look to them to see how your son or daughter's getting on and you, you take their word for gospel.

• 3:43Declan Donnelly?

  It absolutely spiraled out of control.

• 3:45Ant McPartlin?

  Did it?

• 3:46Declan Donnelly?

  Well, especially because there was groups of teachers on different teams. So they were very competitive with each other. I even caught one team of teachers flicking the bird at another table of teachers. Yeah, and then she quickly remembered that.

• 3:58Ant McPartlin?

  Miss Watkins, how dare you?

• 4:00Declan Donnelly?

  A parent teacher, charity quiz, and she sat down again.

• 4:03Ant McPartlin?

  Fuck you!

• 4:05Declan Donnelly?

  Um, so that was quite fun. But yeah, I had, I had a few drinks, I was a little bit drunk.

• 4:09Ant McPartlin?

  What was your area of specialty?

• 4:12Declan Donnelly?

  Well, you know me, I'm a bit of an all-rounder.

• 4:14Ant McPartlin?

  I don't, I don't know that, I know you well, I wouldn't say that. Okay, what was the one question that killed you? You went, I know this guys, you know, like you do.

• 4:21Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 4:22Ant McPartlin?

  If you've ever been in a pub quiz with them, this, I know this guys. And then sometimes he gets it spectacularly wrong, but he's convinced you, he knows it. Go on, what was it?

• 4:31Declan Donnelly?

  Which contagious disease is on the rise?

• 4:34Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I didn't have you down as that guy.

• 4:37Declan Donnelly?

  Measles.

• 4:37Ant McPartlin?

  I thought you were gonna say like which X Factor winner.

• 4:40Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 4:41Ant McPartlin?

  Went on to be in I'm a Celebrity.

• 4:43Declan Donnelly?

  I got all the measles questions.

• 4:44Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, right, right, okay.

• 4:45Declan Donnelly?

  It was all on the iPad, right? And there was a multiple choice question and he did one earlier, the question master. And he went, is it A? It was something, I was, it's not that. Is it B? Da da da, it's not that. Is it C? It's not that. So bang, the guy next to me hits D, he went, it's not the other three, so it must be D. We got the question right and if you answer it first, you get a bonus.

• 5:06Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 5:06Declan Donnelly?

  So we got the bonus and we got it right. So the second question comes up, multiple choice question, further down the line. Goes, is it A? I went, I know this one, it's not A. Is it B? I went, no, this one's not B. Is it C? I went, I know this one, it's not C. So I went, bang, D. He went, is it D? I went, that's not the right answer. He went, or is it E? He changed the rules, didn't he?

• 5:27Ant McPartlin?

  That's bad.

• 5:28Declan Donnelly?

  That's like something you would have done playing Who Wants to be a Millionaire board game.

• 5:31Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, it is. Cause that's what Chris Tarrant would have done.

• 5:36Ant McPartlin?

  And then the rest of the weekend?

• 5:38Declan Donnelly?

  And then, well, let me tell you.

• 5:39Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, okay.

• 5:40Declan Donnelly?

  Let me tell you, I had a few drinks and was a little bit squiffy.

• 5:43Ant McPartlin?

  Imbibed?

• 5:44Declan Donnelly?

  The current Mrs. Donnelly was a disgrace.

• 5:47Ant McPartlin?

  Was she?

• 5:48Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 5:48Ant McPartlin?

  At the school quiz?

• 5:49Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 5:51Ant McPartlin?

  Was she?

• 5:52Declan Donnelly?

  She won't thank me for telling you. She had one or two wobbly pops too many.

• 5:55Ant McPartlin?

  And dancing on the tables and all that?

• 5:57Declan Donnelly?

  Not that bad.

• 5:58Ant McPartlin?

  Swearing at the teachers?

• 5:59Declan Donnelly?

  Not, not quite that bad.

• 6:00Ant McPartlin?

  Licking the bird.

• 6:02Declan Donnelly?

  But yeah, she wasn't very well Saturday.

• 6:03Ant McPartlin?

  Really?

• 6:04Declan Donnelly?

  She wasn't very well the next day. So I was, I was looking after her for most of the weekend.

• 6:08Ant McPartlin?

  Were you?

• 6:08Declan Donnelly?

  Mm hmm. Very smugly.

• 6:10Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I bet you were.

• 6:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 6:12Ant McPartlin?

  And now you brought it up on the podcast?

• 6:13Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 6:13Ant McPartlin?

  Good for you, well done. Good for you. Why, why wouldn't you?

• 6:17Declan Donnelly?

  It happens so.

• 6:18Ant McPartlin?

  This is your, this is your own, getting your own back?

• 6:19Declan Donnelly?

  It's happened so rarely.

• 6:21Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 6:21Declan Donnelly?

  It's normally, it's normally me that's hungover.

• 6:23Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, good.

• 6:24Declan Donnelly?

  So, yeah. Did you ever come on?

• 6:25Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I did, I did do, the pants came in the post. Jamie Oliver's pants came in the post, not his, as we've worked out. The brand that he wears, the ones that cup.

• 6:37Declan Donnelly?

  The cupping technique?

• 6:38Ant McPartlin?

  I tried them all day Saturday. Had Pilates, I thought I'm gonna wear these. Oh, you really, really give them a vigorous testing. I did, I did. I thought, well, better way to test out this cupping and how well they cup and hold you in than Pilates, where you've got to stretch your legs wide and a class full of women. What a treat for them, I have to say. Well, it wasn't that much of a treat because they cupped me well. Ah. They did cup well. Right, this is good? Too well. Oh no. I don't wanna be held like that. I don't want to be, unless it's, unless it's my wife. Oh blimey, here we go again. It's like wearing Lycra shorts, right? Oh. All the time. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. You know, whenever you've worn a harness for like Saturday night takeaway, whatever.

• 7:23Ant McPartlin?

  And then you've got it, they put a harness on, and then you've got to push, push it out the front and then pull them. You've got to, you've got to create some space and it's a bit like that and I don't like it. Can I ask you? You can ask me whatever you want, that's what we're here for, hanging out with our own deck. Can I just ask, so the whole cup and technology thing, is it for general feel good or is it aesthetics? I didn't see much of an improvement by being cupped. Right. It just, I just got hot and I'm sure they're meant to make you less hot because they separate. What? Everything. What's it supposed to do? It's like wearing a pair of flip flops down there. What do you mean separate? No, okay, well, put it this way, your testicles, right? If they're all squashed together between your legs and everything, it heats and heats and heats, right?

• 8:08Ant McPartlin?

  This technology, I don't know why I'm doing such a big job of it, I don't even like it. This technology separates the heated elements. Oh. Do you see what I'm saying? Cup, cup, there's one big cup and there's two little cups either side. Two cups, one man? One man, two cups? One man, two cups, yeah. One man, two cups? There's one. Big sack. Oh, God. Gossip, front, front frontal, there's one big frontal area. Oh, my gosh. So anyway, I tried them and I don't like them. Oh, right, okay. Too much going on. There's, there's, Jamie Oliver is wrong. I hesitate to ask this, but how many bananas? Well, one banana and two testicles. Oh, yeah, sorry. Um, how many bananas? Uh, zero.

• 8:53Ant McPartlin?

  Zero bananas? Zero for me, yeah. Whereas the ones I'm wearing now is. Eight bananas? Yeah. Has Jamie Oliver been in touch yet?

• 9:02Speaker 03

  I've reached out, but he's busy until September.

• 9:05Ant McPartlin?

  He's busy till September? That's quite a flex. Come on. That I'm so popular. He is not busy until September. Right, I tell you what, if he is busy until September, get him to send his diary. Like, cut and paste his diary and send it. Prove it. Prove, prove, prove how busy you are. This is good beef. This is beef. This is the start of the beef. Jamie Oliver, you're a liar.

• 9:30Ant McPartlin?

  You're a liar. Yeah, nobody's that busy. I'm busy, you're busy. You've got lots of shows on the go. Yeah. Family life, we're, we're busy. School quizzes. Yeah, but I can still pop on your podcast for five minutes. And bring some beef, mm. I didn't want this beef. I didn't want this beef from Jamie Oliver, did I? But he came back and said. He came back and said, I'm busy till September. And the way he said it as well. Yeah, did he say it that way as well? I bet he did.

• 9:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:55Ant McPartlin?

  Sassy, was it sassy? He is quite sassy. He kind of laughed and he went, I'm busy till September. You mug. Did he say you mug? Mugs? He didn't say it, but he thought it. He thought mugs, yeah. I knew it. I knew it. You're a mug.

• 10:10Ant McPartlin?

  Not even a cop, you're a mug.

• 10:12Speaker 03

  He said you're silly geese.

• 10:17Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I can't believe that. You're doing it now? Me? Geese. I'll smash your face in. Geese. Right, that's it. That's beef, that is. Mmm, beef with Jamie Oliver, mmm.

• 10:29Declan Donnelly?

  This is an advert for Santander, who understand that getting started on a goal isn't always easy and taking a meaningful first step is how progress happens.

• 10:38Ant McPartlin?

  It's a bit like when we started SMT Live Saturday mornings. We just had to start it, didn't we? We just had to take that first step.

• 10:45Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 10:46Ant McPartlin?

  Because we didn't know how good we'd be. It was live every Saturday, which we'd had experience of, but not a lot of experience.

• 10:53Declan Donnelly?

  It makes me shudder now.

• 10:55Ant McPartlin?

  Because we were bad.

• 10:56Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, the show to start with, but probably the first.

• 11:00Ant McPartlin?

  Six months?

• 11:00Declan Donnelly?

  No, not that long. Two, three months maybe?

• 11:03Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 11:04Declan Donnelly?

  We were really just scrabbling around to.

• 11:06Ant McPartlin?

  Oh god, we were.

• 11:07Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, by week to week.

• 11:08Ant McPartlin?

  And the ratings weren't great.

• 11:09Declan Donnelly?

  No, the ratings weren't great.

• 11:10Ant McPartlin?

  It started off badly, but then it grew.

• 11:14Declan Donnelly?

  But we could never have gotten to the point we did with it without having gone through those early days and the tricky bits at the very beginning.

• 11:21Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 11:21Declan Donnelly?

  Going through that whole process made us better at what we did. And by the end of it, you know, it was.

• 11:27Ant McPartlin?

  The best thing. It's where we learned everything about live TV.

• 11:29Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 11:30Ant McPartlin?

  But we wouldn't have got going if we just didn't do it.

• 11:32Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, we had to take the plunge and start at the very bottom. Oh, and boy.

• 11:37Ant McPartlin?

  And work our way up.

• 11:38Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 11:38Ant McPartlin?

  And boy, it was the bottom.

• 11:41Ant McPartlin?

  And that's what Santander is doing, working hard to have customers build the confidence they need to achieve a goal that matters to them.

• 11:48Declan Donnelly?

  Santander, it starts here.

• 11:53Ant McPartlin?

  Can we see the map?

• 11:53Declan Donnelly?

  Can I get the map out?

• 11:54Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, please get the map.

• 11:55Declan Donnelly?

  I'll just whip me map out, one sec. Go back to the big map.

• 11:57Ant McPartlin?

  Good. Ah, good. Big map with flags.

• 12:01Declan Donnelly?

  Flags now. All of the new flags are in white.

• 12:03Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 12:04Declan Donnelly?

  So I'll just pop my specs on here.

• 12:05Ant McPartlin?

  Ooh, I can see one right slap bang in the middle of the United States.

• 12:09Declan Donnelly?

  Well, that will be Mabel, who's listening in Nebraska.

• 12:13Ant McPartlin?

  Nebraska.

• 12:14Declan Donnelly?

  Ever been?

• 12:15Ant McPartlin?

  I've never been. I'd like to go to Nebraska.

• 12:18Declan Donnelly?

  Mm, I'd love to.

• 12:19Ant McPartlin?

  Mabel, can I come and stay at your house? That'll be good.

• 12:21Declan Donnelly?

  Have you got an ensuite?

• 12:22Ant McPartlin?

  Have you got an ensuite? Will you change the sheets before we arrive? And will you get a big shop in? Answer those questions and we'll be there.

• 12:28Declan Donnelly?

  Dion is in India.

• 12:31Ant McPartlin?

  Hello Dion. I've never been to Indi- ask me the question.

• 12:34Declan Donnelly?

  Ever been?

• 12:35Ant McPartlin?

  Never been.

• 12:36Declan Donnelly?

  Would you love to go?

• 12:36Ant McPartlin?

  Love to go, yes.

• 12:38Declan Donnelly?

  Me too.

• 12:38Ant McPartlin?

  Have you been?

• 12:39Declan Donnelly?

  Never been.

• 12:39Ant McPartlin?

  Would you love to go?

• 12:40Declan Donnelly?

  Love to go.

• 12:41Ant McPartlin?

  Whereabouts? Goa, because the beachy kind of.

• 12:44Declan Donnelly?

  That would be nice. Well, I kind of feel like you've got to do Mumbai.

• 12:48Ant McPartlin?

  Do you think so?

• 12:48Declan Donnelly?

  I find, I feel like you have to.

• 12:50Ant McPartlin?

  What Mumbai, Delhi, you've got to do a big, busy metropolis. Yeah, then, yeah, yeah, okay. Where is our listener?

• 12:56Declan Donnelly?

  Very general India.

• 12:57Ant McPartlin?

  We need very specific locations.

• 12:59Declan Donnelly?

  Especially if we're going to come and stay in your spare room.

• 13:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, exactly. Because if you give us a really specific location, then we can do a look around on the map.

• 13:06Declan Donnelly?

  Who knows, we might just turn up at your door.

• 13:08Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we could.

• 13:09Declan Donnelly?

  We won't, we haven't got time.

• 13:10Ant McPartlin?

  Next.

• 13:10Declan Donnelly?

  Next. Ethan is in Shanghai.

• 13:14Ant McPartlin?

  Is he?

• 13:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 13:15Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 13:16Declan Donnelly?

  Ever been?

• 13:16Ant McPartlin?

  Never been.

• 13:17Declan Donnelly?

  Would you love to go?

• 13:18Ant McPartlin?

  Love to go to Shanghai.

• 13:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 13:20Ant McPartlin?

  In Shanghai in China, for those of you that don't know.

• 13:23Declan Donnelly?

  Between Dion and India and Ethan in Shanghai.

• 13:28Ant McPartlin?

  We'd have a great week.

• 13:29Declan Donnelly?

  Well, can you imagine the food?

• 13:33Declan Donnelly?

  If you're just listening, unsqueal at the idea.

• 13:35Ant McPartlin?

  It's squeal I can't hear.

• 13:37Declan Donnelly?

  I've got Shanghai, the Shanghai squeal.

• 13:45Declan Donnelly?

  That's a neat thing, sounds like a cocktail, isn't it? Can I have a Shanghai squeal, please?

• 13:49Ant McPartlin?

  Then that's a sound effect you have to play.

• 13:50Declan Donnelly?

  Bronte is in Malta. Ever been?

• 13:53Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I have.

• 13:54Declan Donnelly?

  Have you?

• 13:54Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 13:55Declan Donnelly?

  I've never.

• 13:55Ant McPartlin?

  So have you? Well, we've both been to Malta.

• 13:57Declan Donnelly?

  When did I go to Malta?

• 13:58Ant McPartlin?

  We went to Malta, where we got on the cruise ship and got off in Malta, didn't we?

• 14:05Declan Donnelly?

  Gibraltar.

• 14:06Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, Gibraltar.

• 14:09Ant McPartlin?

  It was Gibraltar.

• 14:10Declan Donnelly?

  Gibraltar, not Malta.

• 14:11Ant McPartlin?

  Ask me again. Gibraltar, not Malta. Get the T-shirts made. Gibraltar, not Malta.

• 14:16Declan Donnelly?

  Dave is in Slovenia. Do you think he was born in Slovenia?

• 14:19Ant McPartlin?

  No, I don't. I don't think Dave was born.

• 14:21Declan Donnelly?

  Do you think he is Slovenian?

• 14:22Ant McPartlin?

  No, I don't. My son has got a habit now of just calling everybody Dave.

• 14:27Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, really?

• 14:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, like his aunties and stuff, he goes, Dave.

• 14:32Ant McPartlin?

  I don't know where it's come from.

• 14:33Declan Donnelly?

  Trigger off all his fools and horses.

• 14:35Ant McPartlin?

  I don't know where it's come from. Like, he's Auntie Susan and he's Auntie Sarah. He's just going, when they come on first, he's like, Dave.

• 14:45Declan Donnelly?

  Amazing.

• 14:45Ant McPartlin?

  He's a wine merchant and he's not even two. I've trained him well.

• 14:50Declan Donnelly?

  I love that.

• 14:51Ant McPartlin?

  And finally.

• 14:52Declan Donnelly?

  Joel and Lou in Tokyo.

• 14:56Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 14:57Declan Donnelly?

  Ever been?

• 14:57Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I have.

• 14:58Declan Donnelly?

  Would you go again?

• 14:59Ant McPartlin?

  Many times. Love to go again.

• 15:01Declan Donnelly?

  Do you know what? I'd love to go back to Tokyo. We went to Tokyo when we were like 19, when we were Pejey and Duncan.

• 15:07Ant McPartlin?

  You've taken your glasses off for this. Good story.

• 15:11Speaker 04

  Didn't you perform in Tokyo as well?

• 15:13Declan Donnelly?

  Many, many times.

• 15:15Ant McPartlin?

  Performed in Tokyo many times, lots of TV shows in Tokyo many times. Yeah, we performed in and sang in Japanese. We've told that story, right? Let's put the map down, we'll tell you this story. So, we went on a Japanese TV show. And we were told by the record company that whenever a Western artist comes on this Japanese TV show, they always sing a Japanese song live.

• 15:40Declan Donnelly?

  In Japanese?

• 15:41Ant McPartlin?

  In Japanese. Well, we can't. We can't do that. We don't speak Japanese. They're like, no, it's okay. You can learn it. And but to be on the show, you have to do this. And the record company obviously wanted us to do really loads of promotion. So they really want us to do it. We said, we can't sing this live. We just can't. We can't sing live in English at the best of times. So we can't, certainly can't sing live in Japanese.

• 16:03Declan Donnelly?

  So we said, how about if we mime the song? We record it in Japanese and then we perform on the show. And it was a big, like, prime time Saturday night entertainment show. And we said, we'll go on and mime it in Japanese. And you know, that way we can't offend anybody or make any mistakes. And they went, okay, okay. So we took an afternoon to go into a studio. We recorded this song in Japanese, which was weird in itself. Took us ages and they wrote all the words out phonetically. So we recorded this song. We go along to the TV show the following day and we go on set and we go, well, at least the pressure's off because we can mime to this song. And then they started the rehearsal, played the track. There was no vocals on the track. And we're like, no, no, excuse me. We're like, one, two, one, two. Uh, no, we're, we're miming to this. And all the people were like, oh, no, no, no, nobody ever mimes, nobody ever.

• 16:48Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, well, we looked for the writer company to find out what's going on. Everybody hid.

• 16:52Declan Donnelly?

  They all scarpered.

• 16:53Ant McPartlin?

  They all, they all just left the studio.

• 16:55Speaker 03

  It's actually an undercover prank that you.

• 16:56Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it was like an undercover prank, yeah. That's, but that's probably where we got most of our ideas from. Cause of stuff that's happened to us in the past. So, yeah.

• 17:03Declan Donnelly?

  They had the words on big idiot boards, phonetically for us. And thankfully we'd spent an afternoon recording the song the day before. So we sang it live in Japanese on Japanese television.

• 17:12Ant McPartlin?

  We haven't watched it back since we've been on there. We've never seen footage of this. So if you can, if anyone can find for, a little bit of a clue.

• 17:20Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yeah.

• 17:21Ant McPartlin?

  Was there's two English words in the whole song and the English words were bus stop. Bizarrely.

• 17:27Declan Donnelly?

  There was a song by a Japanese duo called Kinky Kids.

• 17:31Ant McPartlin?

  Which bizarrely is the nickname we have for each other.

• 17:36Declan Donnelly?

  If you find the footage, let us know, cause I like to buy it and destroy it. Thank you.

• 17:40Ant McPartlin?

  I'd like to watch it again though.

• 17:42Declan Donnelly?

  Then destroy it.

• 17:43Ant McPartlin?

  Then destroy it, yes. So you know, we saw Kelly's telly last week.

• 17:46Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yes.

• 17:46Ant McPartlin?

  And how big Kelly's telly was.

• 17:47Declan Donnelly?

  So we know where people are listening.

• 17:49Ant McPartlin?

  And how they're listening.

• 17:50Declan Donnelly?

  And now we know how they're listening.

• 17:51Ant McPartlin?

  How they're listening, how they're watching. Do we have any more tellies that could possibly beat Kelly's telly?

• 17:55Declan Donnelly?

  Kelly's telly was massive. We think it was about seven.

• 17:56Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, I know that lady.

• 17:59Declan Donnelly?

  I know her.

• 17:59Ant McPartlin?

  You know her, that's my sister Sarah. That's Dave. Dave.

• 18:05Declan Donnelly?

  That's Auntie Dave.

• 18:06Ant McPartlin?

  That's Sarah and that's us. She watches on her telly.

• 18:09Declan Donnelly?

  Is that how she watches the, the, the show as well?

• 18:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, she's got.

• 18:12Declan Donnelly?

  She's gonna ruin her eyes.

• 18:13Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, she's got really strong glasses. When she doesn't wear them, she's gonna stand very close to the telly. I still don't think she beats Kelly's telly.

• 18:19Declan Donnelly?

  No, I think Kelly's telly's still bigger than that.

• 18:21Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, Kelly's telly is bigger than that. Sorry, Sarah. Sorry, Dave, you're out of here.

• 18:26Declan Donnelly?

  Any more pictures of how you listen or watch or where you listen and watch? Please send them into us, [email protected]. We love seeing your living rooms and your cars and into your lives.

• 18:37Ant McPartlin?

  And your kids and your dogs and stuff.

• 18:40Ant McPartlin?

  We do though, we do.

• 18:41Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, we do.

• 18:42Ant McPartlin?

  We're spies.

• 18:42Declan Donnelly?

  I've had a look at some of the comments. Is there anything I've missed in the comments?

• 18:45Speaker 03

  A lot of people loving Silly Goose. In fact.

• 18:48Ant McPartlin?

  Silly Goose?

• 18:49Speaker 03

  The emails, we've actually been sent this.

• 18:50Ant McPartlin?

  Dex swear words?

• 18:51Speaker 03

  A lot, which is Sainsbury's have made their own Silly Goose candle.

• 18:57Declan Donnelly?

  Well, they were quick. They were quick to jump on the bandwagon, weren't they?

• 19:01Ant McPartlin?

  They obviously love the pod. Thanks for listening, Sainsbury's.

• 19:04Declan Donnelly?

  What is it smell of? Is it smelly?

• 19:08Speaker 03

  Ponds. Silly.

• 19:09Ant McPartlin?

  Ponds.

• 19:10Declan Donnelly?

  I don't get it.

• 19:11Ant McPartlin?

  Pond life.

• 19:12Declan Donnelly?

  What is, what is that? A Silly Goose candle?

• 19:15Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's what we should do. We're too slow. That's our problem. We're too slow. I mean, you're wearing your sexy t-shirt and I see you've moved from that camera.

• 19:22Declan Donnelly?

  Nice looks, nice, doesn't he?

• 19:23Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, all right, nice.

• 19:24Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, he looks good.

• 19:25Ant McPartlin?

  Doesn't he have, does he?

• 19:26Declan Donnelly?

  No, he's just nice.

• 19:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, he's just a nice, nice guy. Just a nice guy.

• 19:30Speaker 03

  There's more Silly Goose merch.

• 19:32Ant McPartlin?

  Is there? More Silly Goose?

• 19:33Speaker 03

  Particularly this one.

• 19:34Declan Donnelly?

  Wow.

• 19:35Ant McPartlin?

  That's good.

• 19:35Declan Donnelly?

  If you're just listening, this is a Silly Goose hat. It's a hat with a very long goose neck sprouting up from the top of the head and a goose kind of yapping.

• 19:43Ant McPartlin?

  Honking. A goose, goose honk.

• 19:46Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 19:46Ant McPartlin?

  Honk, honk, honks.

• 19:49Declan Donnelly?

  We should get one of those hats.

• 19:50Ant McPartlin?

  Can we get one?

• 19:51Declan Donnelly?

  And get it in, get it in the studio maybe for like the worst comment or the worst letter into the postbag a week. We can crown somebody the Silly Goose.

• 19:58Ant McPartlin?

  Good idea. Any more Silly Goose things?

• 20:00Speaker 03

  That's it for now.

• 20:01Ant McPartlin?

  That's it for now.

• 20:02Declan Donnelly?

  Well.

• 20:02Ant McPartlin?

  It's everywhere apparently.

• 20:03Declan Donnelly?

  It's taken over the, well, it's taken over a bit of shelf space in Sainsbury's.

• 20:09Ant McPartlin?

  And it's taken over somebody's hair in hat form.

• 20:13Declan Donnelly?

  But it's really caught on.

• 20:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it has.

• 20:14Declan Donnelly?

  It is really caught on.

• 20:17Declan Donnelly?

  Got the old diary out if you're interested. Diary, yes please. Yeah, we've got a jingle. Here it is.

• 20:23Ant McPartlin?

  That leads us on nicely to your diary.

• 20:24Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh, shall we have a look at it?

• 20:33Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, please. Yes, decked out. Make it better than that. Yeah. Oh, wow, there's a lot going on there, isn't there? Yeah. Yeah, for a CGHD people. That's right on my street. Took them all on board. Who was that from?

• 20:46Speaker 03

  Ally.

• 20:46Declan Donnelly?

  Well done, Ally. Ooh. Well, your wife. Your wife sent it out. The current Mrs Dunleavy. She's got a lot of time on her hands, hasn't she? Probably doing that when she was recovering from a hangover. The 6th of April, 1994. Ah. Blimey, what a day. Oh. The hotel was pretty... Ha, ha, ha. You swore again in your diary. What a potty mouth you were. Shall I change it? At 19. The hotel was pretty crappy. And to make our stay a nicer one, they clamped our car. Did they? We got clamped. We took a cab to the basketball court where we shot the video to Why Me? Oh my god, that long ago? Yes. Wow.

• 21:28Declan Donnelly?

  To do Snap, Cackle and Pop for the big breakfast. Snap, cackle and pop for the big breakfast. So I think it was like an insert. Right, so it must have been like a VT thing that we did. Zoe Ball was there. Right. Did we like her? Well, in brackets, I've written, "Hello." Ha, ha, ha. Can we get Zoe Ball on the podcast? Because someone's a big fan. In brackets, I've written, "Hello." Ha.

• 21:57Declan Donnelly?

  I obviously took a shine to Zoe Ball that day. Is that a Carry On movie in your head? Our new TV plugger was there and we chatted on the way to Channel 4. He dropped us there to do Surf Potatoes. What? Do you remember Surf Potatoes? No. It was a Channel 4 show with Max Beasley. What? And it was like a review of TV shows or something. Surf Potatoes. It's Max Beasley and maybe Danny Bear. What? Remember Danny Bear? Yes. Hello. Remember Max Beasley? Hello.

• 22:29Declan Donnelly?

  We recorded him of the week.

• 22:31Ant McPartlin?

  What the hell are you talking about?

• 22:34Declan Donnelly?

  And then I've written, don't ask.

• 22:36Ant McPartlin?

  Well, not one of us.

• 22:37Declan Donnelly?

  So do I, but I've got no.

• 22:38Ant McPartlin?

  We recorded him of the week.

• 22:39Declan Donnelly?

  Him of the week. Sounds like it would be right up my street, to be honest.

• 22:41Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Catholic boy, Catholic boy.

• 22:44Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I don't know what that was. Recorded him of the week, don't ask. After our call was delivered back to us.

• 22:50Ant McPartlin?

  Delivered? You get it delivered after you.

• 22:52Declan Donnelly?

  Just be clamped.

• 22:53Ant McPartlin?

  That's service, isn't it? How dare you? But we'll send it back to you once you pay the fine.

• 22:58Declan Donnelly?

  We drove to Kent with our tour manager, Dom, ranting about clampers being the mafia or something.

• 23:05Ant McPartlin?

  I think I remember this.

• 23:06Declan Donnelly?

  Mafia.

• 23:07Ant McPartlin?

  Mafia, they are mafia.

• 23:08Declan Donnelly?

  After a spot of tea, we went to Folkestone and played a rather dodgy club. Dominique, our tour manager, said that he'd been there five or six times and we got the best reaction he's ever seen.

• 23:19Ant McPartlin?

  He's, he's very nice to me. He says a lot.

• 23:22Declan Donnelly?

  He seems to say that a lot, doesn't he?

• 23:23Ant McPartlin?

  I feel like he's just trying to make us feel better, isn't he? We said, we got a bigger reaction than you kids on the block. Probably a lie. And the best reaction in a dodgy nightclub in Folkestone.

• 23:34Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, probably a lie.

• 23:35Ant McPartlin?

  You can't, probably a lie.

• 23:36Declan Donnelly?

  He said we got the biggest response he'd ever seen, but we weren't very happy.

• 23:40Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, weren't we?

• 23:41Declan Donnelly?

  We weren't very happy. There were some.

• 23:46Declan Donnelly?

  St, went for this, who thought they were fashion gurus.

• 23:49Ant McPartlin?

  Huh?

• 23:50Declan Donnelly?

  Who said, we should dress like them. Sorry, fellas. Not even if you paid me.

• 23:57Ant McPartlin?

  Boom. Drop that diary.

• 23:59Declan Donnelly?

  Drop the mic, drop the diary. They obviously really wound us up.

• 24:03Ant McPartlin?

  Who were they?

• 24:03Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know. I wasn't very good at diaryizing that day.

• 24:06Ant McPartlin?

  No, you were, were you?

• 24:07Declan Donnelly?

  I'd left a lot of things in the air.

• 24:08Ant McPartlin?

  It's very light on facts and very heavy on swear words this week.

• 24:12Declan Donnelly?

  It is.

• 24:12Ant McPartlin?

  I don't think I like it. Not up for that. It's not very family friendly.

• 24:15Declan Donnelly?

  Let's hope tomorrow's better.

• 24:16Ant McPartlin?

  Wait, what is tomorrow? Where are we?

• 24:17Declan Donnelly?

  7th of April, 1994 starts. Well, this is the most hectic day yet.

• 24:22Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that's good.

• 24:23Declan Donnelly?

  But probably one of the most enjoyable. We'll find out more about that next week.

• 24:29Ant McPartlin?

  Pigeon call. That leads us on nicely to your diary.

• 24:31Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh, should we have a look at it?

• 24:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, please.

• 24:43Declan Donnelly?

  Make it better than that.

• 24:44Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. She's very good at accents for your wife, isn't she?

• 24:50Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you also watched something new on TV?

• 24:52Declan Donnelly?

  What did you watch? Have you started watching?

• 24:53Ant McPartlin?

  So, I started watching a thing on Apple TV and it's called The Last Frontier. I'm gonna paint the picture. This is the first episode, right? Big aeroplane in the aircraft hangar. There's lots of US officials. Sirens blaring, music's tense. The camera goes in, into the plane. Every seat is occupied by a convict. And they're handcuffed. Some of them have got like blindfolds on. The plane takes off, goes across Alaska. Engine blows, plane crashes into the Alaskan forests, snowy forests. The convicts escape. Boom. Good, eh? You're in, aren't you?

• 25:38Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 25:39Ant McPartlin?

  It's good, isn't it? So the series is the search for the convicts, because so many get free.

• 25:45Declan Donnelly?

  But they're all shackled together. Well, they're all shackled.

• 25:48Ant McPartlin?

  A plane crash will take a man's shackles off, believe me.

• 25:51Declan Donnelly?

  Will it?

• 25:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 25:52Declan Donnelly?

  That's handy for the plot.

• 25:53Ant McPartlin?

  Not all of them.

• 25:55Declan Donnelly?

  Right.

• 25:56Ant McPartlin?

  Not all of them. Some of them, you see, some of them having to get their shackles off. And one of them, like the king of the convicts, the one that's really bound down.

• 26:03Declan Donnelly?

  The big boss?

• 26:03Ant McPartlin?

  The big boss. The final boss, he takes them tracking down, but he's the criminal boss to mine.

• 26:08Declan Donnelly?

  Is there anybody famous off the telly that?

• 26:09Ant McPartlin?

  Dominic Cooper, you know him?

• 26:10Declan Donnelly?

  I do know Dominic Cooper.

• 26:11Ant McPartlin?

  English actor, he's in it.

• 26:13Declan Donnelly?

  He's brilliant.

• 26:13Ant McPartlin?

  He's very good in it. It's on Apple TV.

• 26:14Declan Donnelly?

  For episode one, we're giving it.

• 26:16Ant McPartlin?

  Seven billion dollars. It's good. It's got me thinking, we should start a TV and film club.

• 26:22Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that's a good idea.

• 26:23Ant McPartlin?

  We should. Banana Club.

• 26:25Declan Donnelly?

  Pick something to watch each week.

• 26:26Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 26:27Declan Donnelly?

  And then everybody goes off and watches it. And then we can all talk about it.

• 26:29Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, so any suggestions, let us know in the comments. Just email us, [email protected], and we can all watch it together one week. And that's if you haven't got too much on, because you're very busy.

• 26:38Declan Donnelly?

  I'm busy most of the time.

• 26:39Ant McPartlin?

  You're too busy to grow beards, so you're too busy to watch TV, clearly. We can all get back together and we can give it, then we can all average out our banana ratings. Then I feel like the banana ratings will be fairer.

• 26:48Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 26:48Ant McPartlin?

  Don't you think? Okay.

• 26:50Declan Donnelly?

  I like that. I'll tell you what I watched this week. ITV2's The Heat.

• 26:55Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah, I've seen this trail.

• 26:56Declan Donnelly?

  Which is a new reality show.

• 26:57Ant McPartlin?

  Looks good.

• 26:58Declan Donnelly?

  Hosted by Olivia Atwood.

• 27:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 27:00Declan Donnelly?

  Featuring Jean Christophe Novelli.

• 27:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 27:02Declan Donnelly?

  Very famous and acclaimed chef.

• 27:07Declan Donnelly?

  And it's a bunch of young, fit, hottie chefs.

• 27:11Ant McPartlin?

  Love Islandy chefs?

• 27:12Declan Donnelly?

  Love Islandy chefs.

• 27:13Ant McPartlin?

  Right, okay.

• 27:13Declan Donnelly?

  Now, they go to Barcelona for a summer season to run this restaurant.

• 27:18Ant McPartlin?

  Summer Sizzler.

• 27:20Declan Donnelly?

  Indeed. They run this restaurant.

• 27:23Ant McPartlin?

  You can use that, guys.

• 27:24Declan Donnelly?

  Put it on the poster. It's a summer Sizzler.

• 27:27Ant McPartlin?

  I'm a parlor, nine bananas.

• 27:29Declan Donnelly?

  Nine bananas?

• 27:29Ant McPartlin?

  Sorry, not nine, not nine.

• 27:31Declan Donnelly?

  And they have to run the restaurant. They all take turns of being like head chef.

• 27:34Ant McPartlin?

  That's good.

• 27:34Declan Donnelly?

  And they've got to get ready for, it's a lunchtime service.

• 27:37Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 27:38Declan Donnelly?

  That they're under pressure each day to do, under the watchful eye of Jean Christophe. Then in the evening, Barcelona is their playground.

• 27:45Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I like it.

• 27:46Declan Donnelly?

  And they chat about how service went, who was head chef, how they did, the dynamics of the kitchen as they flirt and as they get to know one another.

• 27:54Ant McPartlin?

  Do you know what? It's the kind of show that Lola would be in. Wouldn't you? That you'd be in that show? Yeah? Series two?

• 28:01Speaker 04

  Yeah, series two.

• 28:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah? An insider.

• 28:03Declan Donnelly?

  It's really good.

• 28:04Ant McPartlin?

  That is good. What would you give it? Bananas?

• 28:06Declan Donnelly?

  Because I've only watched one and a half eps, but I would give it six bananas.

• 28:11Ant McPartlin?

  But it could rise to it.

• 28:12Declan Donnelly?

  It could rise to it. It could raise my banana rating.

• 28:19Declan Donnelly?

  Depending on how the series goes.

• 28:20Ant McPartlin?

  Have bananas made it into everyday?

• 28:22Declan Donnelly?

  Everyday parlance. We've got a.

• 28:24Ant McPartlin?

  That is a good throw.

• 28:25Declan Donnelly?

  We've got an aeroplane that's just flown in. News just in. Hi, I'm Deck. I need my specs for this.

• 28:31Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I could read it.

• 28:32Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, I'm Deck. Love the podcast. I've recently visited Disneyland Paris and introduced my friend to banana ratings. We give Tower of Terror an amazing eight bananas and Spider-Man got a zero from me due to bad motion sickness.

• 28:45Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, that does happen with those ones.

• 28:47Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you for bringing this rating system into the world. That was from Bethan.

• 28:50Ant McPartlin?

  Bethany?

• 28:51Declan Donnelly?

  Bethan.

• 28:52Ant McPartlin?

  Just Bethan?

• 28:52Declan Donnelly?

  Just Bethan. Then I've got another one.

• 28:54Ant McPartlin?

  People call Bethan?

• 28:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:57Declan Donnelly?

  Cheers.

• 28:59Ant McPartlin?

  Now, I'm just thinking that you haven't missed a Y, have you? People are called Bethan? That's not a thing. You're winding me up.

• 29:06Ant McPartlin?

  Prove it. Can you send a picture of your driving licence or passport? Please. I don't believe you.

• 29:11Declan Donnelly?

  Sounds like proof.

• 29:12Ant McPartlin?

  Name me a famous Bethan.

• 29:14Speaker 04

  My old neighbour.

• 29:15Ant McPartlin?

  Your old neighbour? How convenient. Your old neighbour. So I can't even pop round and talk to her. Because she's old.

• 29:22Declan Donnelly?

  Nice try, sexy.

• 29:24Speaker 03

  Bethan James.

• 29:25Ant McPartlin?

  Don't know.

• 29:26Speaker 03

  Bethan Gwana?

• 29:27Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 29:28Speaker 03

  Bethan Hughes?

• 29:28Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 29:29Speaker 03

  Bethan Effin?

• 29:30Ant McPartlin?

  No. I'm Effin and Jeffin at you two in a minute.

• 29:33Declan Donnelly?

  I've got another letter here from Dave in Sheffield.

• 29:36Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I've heard that. Dave?

• 29:40Ant McPartlin?

  What's his William, Susan or Sarah?

• 29:42Declan Donnelly?

  Two. Stay banana one and banana two. I think that's us. I absolutely love listening to your show. Thanks, Dave.

• 29:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, thanks, Dave.

• 29:50Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks, Dave. Hanging out with you both every week. If I was rating a show, it would easily be a big fat eight bananas.

• 29:55Ant McPartlin?

  Yay.

• 29:56Declan Donnelly?

  I love watching films and I've created an official list of the films you've been watching on the show, along with your banana ratings over on Letterboxd. I'm looking forward to hearing how you rate many more films and adding to this list over time. What else have you guys watched and rated recently? And I will update.

• 30:11Ant McPartlin?

  You do too much of a mission. Let me take one bit in.

• 30:13Declan Donnelly?

  He's gone on to Letterboxd.

• 30:15Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 30:16Declan Donnelly?

  And he has set up.

• 30:17Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, my God.

• 30:18Declan Donnelly?

  A Hanging Out with Ant and Dec ratings.

• 30:21Ant McPartlin?

  Now with banana ratings. Ant and Dec host Hanging Out with Ant and Dec on podcast and YouTube. Search for Letterboxd. They've started rating things they watch with a banana rating of up to a huge eight bananas. Here's all the films and the ratings they've given.

• 30:34Declan Donnelly?

  Well done, Dave.

• 30:35Ant McPartlin?

  Well done, Dave.

• 30:36Declan Donnelly?

  Brilliant. I'm glad somebody around here is organised. Got these three sat in the corner. They don't do sod all during the week.

• 30:42Ant McPartlin?

  I can add a movie to that. I watched The Woman, The Woman in Cabin Eight with Keira Knightley. It's like a thriller. She goes onto a yacht, like a super yacht. She's a Guardian journalist. So she goes on this.

• 30:54Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I have heard of this.

• 30:55Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, she goes onto a super yacht.

• 30:56Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 30:57Ant McPartlin?

  Because she's just finished a really big story, so she wants a lighter story. Turns out this ain't a lighter story. She's at the centre of it, baby. So she goes on this yacht, but the people that own it are a bit strange. Strange things happen. She's in Cabin Ten. But something or someone, the woman in Cabin Eight, is not what she seems.

• 31:19Declan Donnelly?

  Who else famous off the telly's on it?

• 31:21Ant McPartlin?

  Guy Pearce.

• 31:22Declan Donnelly?

  From Neighbours?

• 31:22Ant McPartlin?

  From Neighbours.

• 31:23Declan Donnelly?

  Mike?

• 31:23Ant McPartlin?

  Guy Pearce from, uh, Mike from Neighbours.

• 31:25Declan Donnelly?

  And Memento.

• 31:26Ant McPartlin?

  And Memento.

• 31:26Declan Donnelly?

  One of my favourite films ever. Hannah Waddingham?

• 31:29Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, she's in it.

• 31:30Declan Donnelly?

  Banana rating.

• 31:31Ant McPartlin?

  Banana rating, please. From me?

• 31:33Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 31:33Ant McPartlin?

  Or my wife?

• 31:34Declan Donnelly?

  From you?

• 31:35Ant McPartlin?

  Five.

• 31:35Declan Donnelly?

  From her?

• 31:36Ant McPartlin?

  Six.

• 31:40Declan Donnelly?

  I was expecting it to be wildly different, but it's not.

• 31:44Ant McPartlin?

  I tried, I said it. But it was like seven, seven, seven, so six, six. But it was tense, there's a few jumpy moments and, you know, it was good.

• 31:54Declan Donnelly?

  So we've given it a five or a six?

• 31:55Ant McPartlin?

  I think we're gonna have to round it down to a five. Five out of eight.

• 32:00Declan Donnelly?

  Five bananas.

• 32:00Ant McPartlin?

  It's not bad. I'll back Dave to your list. Thank you very much.

• 32:04Declan Donnelly?

  Sharon has put a little review on TripAdvisor. She's sent us a picture here. She has reviewed a restaurant. Says the food was incredible, staff were amazingly efficient. This was a treat for my son's birthday and he loved it. I would rate this a solid eight bananas.

• 32:17Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, on TripAdvisor.

• 32:19Declan Donnelly?

  Well done Sharon. We love that. People are gonna read that and go, what the heck is Sharon talking about?

• 32:23Ant McPartlin?

  There's a lot here from Hannah. That's an Amazon Prime review.

• 32:26Declan Donnelly?

  The skin oil is worthy of a rating of eight bananas. The best in capital letters. Moisturizer for dry skin. Within one use it was noticeably different. Eight bananas all day long.

• 32:36Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you Hannah.

• 32:37Declan Donnelly?

  Well done Hannah.

• 32:38Ant McPartlin?

  And thank you Sharon. Brilliant.

• 32:40Declan Donnelly?

  Very quickly, Kirsty has sent us this. Here's a review I submitted for some ankle socks at Next. But we have a slight issue with Kirsty's review.

• 32:47Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 32:48Declan Donnelly?

  She says, pretty motifs, five stars, pretty motifs which makes pairing very easy. Nice and comfy for work socks. Ten bananas.

• 32:54Ant McPartlin?

  Ah Kirsty, that doesn't work. That's it. If this was Limitless Win, you bust now.

• 32:59Declan Donnelly?

  You've gone over.

• 33:00Ant McPartlin?

  Game over. One over's game over. You've gone two over. The highest banana rating you can give anything is eight bananas.

• 33:06Declan Donnelly?

  Because that is the world record for the most bananas eaten in one minute. So you've gone a little bit over with the bananas, but I guess you really like the socks.

• 33:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, she did. You like cool socks though.

• 33:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, they look good, don't they?

• 33:15Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, but we have to discount that. Discount.

• 33:18Declan Donnelly?

  Discount socks?

• 33:19Ant McPartlin?

  No, I'm not giving you money off the socks.

• 33:21Declan Donnelly?

  They're saying £12 on the website, but I'm just gonna give you them for 10.

• 33:23Ant McPartlin?

  Depends how many you buy. The more you buy, the cheaper they are.

• 33:29Declan Donnelly?

  This podcast is brought to you by Gemini, Google's personal AI assistant.

• 33:36Ant McPartlin?

  It's late again, as per, isn't he? He's always late.

• 33:40Declan Donnelly?

  You started this, you started this bit yet?

• 33:41Ant McPartlin?

  Not yet.

• 33:43Declan Donnelly?

  Are we on?

• 33:44Ant McPartlin?

  Well, we're on now, now you've turned up. Why are you always late?

• 33:47Declan Donnelly?

  I'm on time, aren't I?

• 33:48Ant McPartlin?

  You're not, you're late, you're always late. I'm gonna ask Gemini, Gemini, can you give me some radical?

• 33:55Declan Donnelly?

  Radical?

• 33:56Ant McPartlin?

  Ideas on how to stop my friend being late?

• 34:00Speaker 05

  Perhaps orchestrating a surprise intervention with all your friends to highlight the impact.

• 34:06Ant McPartlin?

  Gemini, yes, uh, your ideas are fantastic.

• 34:09Declan Donnelly?

  Can I speak to Gemini for a moment? Hi Gemini, Deck here. Um, could you give me some, um, believable excuses for why I am a few minutes late? Um, quite a lot of the time, please.

• 34:23Speaker 05

  Certainly, Deck. You could try saying perhaps a bizarre traffic delay caused by something unexpected, like a public performance in the middle of the road.

• 34:33Declan Donnelly?

  That's great.

• 34:34Speaker 05

  Are those the kind of things you're thinking of?

• 34:37Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, absolutely spot on. Thanks Gemini.

• 36:07Ant McPartlin?

  Finally, over the weekend, I decided to try out a moustache.

• 36:13Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 36:13Ant McPartlin?

  So, I had a shower, had a little shave. Uh, let me stuff a little moustache.

• 36:19Declan Donnelly?

  Look, I've got a little picture of it on the screen.

• 36:21Ant McPartlin?

  That's, uh, that's 24, that's just, that's just, just trying it out, seeing whether I like it or not.

• 36:26Declan Donnelly?

  I like it.

• 36:26Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you like that?

• 36:27Declan Donnelly?

  I do like it.

• 36:28Ant McPartlin?

  Should I grow it more?

• 36:29Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, you look like an Australian cricketer.

• 36:31Ant McPartlin?

  That's not a bad look, that's, that's in at the minute. That is in at the minute, that look, isn't it? Moustache, mullet, but anyway, take that down, because that's got me thinking. That's, look how quick that was.

• 36:40Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, that's good.

• 36:41Ant McPartlin?

  And it's all good content for the pod.

• 36:43Declan Donnelly?

  Impressive.

• 36:43Ant McPartlin?

  Really good content, that.

• 36:44Declan Donnelly?

  Everybody listening is really loving your moustache.

• 36:47Ant McPartlin?

  Is loving the fact I showed a picture of my tash.

• 36:49Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 36:50Ant McPartlin?

  How's the beard?

• 36:50Declan Donnelly?

  I didn't do it this week.

• 36:51Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, y'all know, to quote you, y'all know.

• 36:55Declan Donnelly?

  I had, I had lots of stuff on this week.

• 36:57Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, okay, we've established, you had the parent and teacher's drunken quiz.

• 37:00Declan Donnelly?

  Quiz.

• 37:01Ant McPartlin?

  Then, after that.

• 37:02Declan Donnelly?

  I had a press launch to do for a TV show.

• 37:05Ant McPartlin?

  But I'm a celebrity, which I was also there.

• 37:07Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. For one of my shows, I had a press launch.

• 37:11Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 37:11Declan Donnelly?

  So, I had to go clean shaven for the press.

• 37:13Ant McPartlin?

  Did you though?

• 37:14Declan Donnelly?

  Show some respect.

• 37:16Ant McPartlin?

  To the press, no, no, I will not.

• 37:20Declan Donnelly?

  So, the ladies and gentlemen of His Majesty's Press Corps, I showed, I showed respect and I went clean shaven.

• 37:26Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, God. How about we, when I get the tattoo, you have to have the beard for then.

• 37:33Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 37:34Ant McPartlin?

  I will try and get a thicker moustache, you try and get a beard, try and get a tattoo. There's a lot happening that week, isn't there?

• 37:41Declan Donnelly?

  There's a lot, isn't there?

• 37:42Ant McPartlin?

  May have spread out a little bit, yeah, I've overcommitted. I feel like I just want to isolate now, I've overcommitted to things, I've said yes to things, I just.

• 37:49Declan Donnelly?

  Well, um, I am, I'm committed to the beard, just at the right time. St Patrick's Day this week.

• 37:55Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 37:56Declan Donnelly?

  So, I thought I'd bring you in, um, the story of St Patrick.

• 37:58Ant McPartlin?

  Good.

• 37:59Declan Donnelly?

  Before we get there though.

• 37:59Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 38:00Declan Donnelly?

  Did you know, when we did this a few weeks ago, and we did this in Valentine one?

• 38:03Ant McPartlin?

  Yep.

• 38:05Declan Donnelly?

  My Saint Valentine's fact made it on to The Chase. Look at this.

• 38:09Ant McPartlin?

  Who's the parent saint of beekeeping?

• 38:10Declan Donnelly?

  I caught this, I took this photograph of the beast on The Chase who answered this question. Who's the parent saint of beekeeping? Saint Valentine. I reckon they got that from the podcast.

• 38:19Ant McPartlin?

  No, of course they didn't get it from the podcast.

• 38:21Declan Donnelly?

  Of course they did. Remember, parent saint of lovers, parent saint of beekeepers and epilepsy.

• 38:25Ant McPartlin?

  I know, I get that.

• 38:26Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I said that on the podcast.

• 38:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I know you said on the podcast. Do you know how, how far in advance they filmed The Chase?

• 38:32Declan Donnelly?

  Live.

• 38:32Ant McPartlin?

  It's not live. It's, The Chase is not live.

• 38:35Declan Donnelly?

  It is, I think it is.

• 38:36Ant McPartlin?

  You've took a picture, taken credit for that fact.

• 38:39Declan Donnelly?

  That's right, I have.

• 38:41Ant McPartlin?

  That wasn't down to you.

• 38:42Declan Donnelly?

  I think it was.

• 38:43Ant McPartlin?

  It was not down to you. That's probably a repeat of The Chase. You've probably seen the original episode of The Chase months ago, because they filmed them like a year in advance and it's stuck in your brain. And then you've gone here spouting it as one of your own. That's what's happened here.

• 38:57Declan Donnelly?

  How bloody dare you.

• 39:00Ant McPartlin?

  The Chase, have a listen to this podcast and then nick what you said as one of their question ideas. They're not that thin on the ground for questions.

• 39:07Declan Donnelly?

  I bet your next question was, what's the record for bananas eaten in one minute? But I turned it off because I was too excited.

• 39:15Declan Donnelly?

  Probably, that was probably the next question.

• 39:16Ant McPartlin?

  I think you're wrong. Do you have a fact about a saint for us, please?

• 39:20Declan Donnelly?

  Do you know the story of Saint Patrick?

• 39:22Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, yeah, I think so.

• 39:23Declan Donnelly?

  Go on, what do you know?

• 39:23Ant McPartlin?

  He banished the snakes from Ireland.

• 39:25Declan Donnelly?

  That is a popular myth about Saint Patrick. Well, it's not really proven. Did you know Saint Patrick wasn't even Irish?

• 39:32Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I did know this.

• 39:33Declan Donnelly?

  Oh yeah, now you did. Now you know. Since I've said it, you knew it.

• 39:37Ant McPartlin?

  No, go on. Tell the listener.

• 39:39Declan Donnelly?

  So Saint Patrick was actually born in Britain and he was kidnapped and taken to Ireland, where he worked for six years as a slave. And he had a vision which told him that he had to go back to the coast, make his way to the coast. So he escaped, made his way to the coast, got on a ship and made it back to the UK. And while he was back on the mainland, he became a priest and a bishop and a very holy man. And then had another premonition that was telling him to go back to Ireland to bring Christianity to the Irish. So he went back to the place where he was held captive for six years and was one of the main figures which brought Christianity to the Irish people. Next thing you know, got Saint Patrick's Day and everybody's drinking Guinness.

• 40:17Ant McPartlin?

  You know, you talk about the saints a lot. I thought this was a good week for me to be on the side of this sinner. Well, and the sinner, but the sinner in this sense being the snake.

• 40:29Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 40:30Ant McPartlin?

  Because the snake gets a bad rep. Thank you very much, Jemamma, for my.

• 40:34Declan Donnelly?

  Aeroplane, paper aeroplane just thrown in.

• 40:36Ant McPartlin?

  I thought I'd hit you with a couple of snake facts that prove that they aren't the sinners we all think they are. Snakes are incredibly important for our ecosystems, Declan.

• 40:46Declan Donnelly?

  I agree.

• 40:47Ant McPartlin?

  They keep numbers of rodents and spiders in check. Without snakes, places would be overrun with mice and rats. Here, here, snake fact two. Snake venom has been used for medicinal purposes for hundreds of years. In fact, the African black mamba's venom contains a potent painkiller.

• 41:04Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh.

• 41:05Ant McPartlin?

  As powerful as morphine.

• 41:07Declan Donnelly?

  Wowzers.

• 41:08Ant McPartlin?

  Good fact, eh?

• 41:09Declan Donnelly?

  Great fact.

• 41:11Ant McPartlin?

  Up the snakes.

• 41:11Declan Donnelly?

  And of course, where would be I'm a Celebrity without snakes?

• 41:14Ant McPartlin?

  It's true.

• 41:15Declan Donnelly?

  You don't want cockroaches in every trial, do you?

• 41:17Ant McPartlin?

  No, scene stealers.

• 41:20Ant McPartlin?

  So let's get your correspondence, all your emails, all your letters. Bring the bag over. And it's always over your side, isn't it?

• 41:25Declan Donnelly?

  It is, isn't it?

• 41:25Ant McPartlin?

  Good.

• 41:26Declan Donnelly?

  You've got the mystery door your side. I've got the letters. One second.

• 41:31Declan Donnelly?

  I nearly, I nearly went there.

• 41:32Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that's a bolting sack this week.

• 41:34Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you very much.

• 41:35Ant McPartlin?

  Right, I'll start. Good afternoon.

• 41:37Declan Donnelly?

  Good afternoon, good evening.

• 41:38Ant McPartlin?

  Good afternoon, good afternoon.

• 41:40Declan Donnelly?

  Good morning, good evening, good afternoon.

• 41:41Ant McPartlin?

  When I was younger, my mum used to regularly enter competitions but didn't always stick to the rules.

• 41:46Declan Donnelly?

  Ah.

• 41:47Ant McPartlin?

  She entered me into a competition to win a trip up to Newcastle to appear on an episode of Biker Grove.

• 41:53Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh.

• 41:54Ant McPartlin?

  We won second prize, but as the first prize winner, was not able to make the trip. We were offered the opportunity instead. The competition was for children aged below 16. I was 18 years old.

• 42:08Ant McPartlin?

  Well done, well done, mum.

• 42:10Declan Donnelly?

  Hopefully a young looking 18.

• 42:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, well, mum didn't tell me the age limit and we accepted the prize and came up to the set of Biker Grove for me to be an extra in an episode. I thoroughly enjoyed my day on set, meeting you both, along with other cast members and going home with some signed books too. I laugh now when I think, as it reminds me of the Only Fools and Horses episode where they win a children's competition and Rodney has to pretend he's a child. I did wonder why I was the tallest one there, but my mum didn't confess to me until the journey home. That's from Kirsty in Northamptonshire.

• 42:43Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, well done Kirsty. Well done Kirsty's mum.

• 42:46Ant McPartlin?

  Kirsty, we'll see, you did it though. That's not breaking the rules, that's just bending them a little bit.

• 42:51Declan Donnelly?

  No, it's kind of breaking the rules.

• 42:52Ant McPartlin?

  No, but like sixteen, eighteen, who cares? I'm up for that. I don't mind that.

• 42:58Declan Donnelly?

  There's a lot of eight to sixteen year olds who do care that they were absolutely playing within the rules and they didn't win the competition.

• 43:05Ant McPartlin?

  Well, Kirsty had a lovely afternoon. She met us both, another cast members, and went home with some signed books.

• 43:10Declan Donnelly?

  She met us illegally.

• 43:12Ant McPartlin?

  It's not illegal.

• 43:14Declan Donnelly?

  It's fraud, isn't it? When you boil it down, it's fraud.

• 43:17Ant McPartlin?

  It's not fraud. Good for you, Kirsty.

• 43:20Declan Donnelly?

  This one is from Rowan and Dana. Hello, Anton Deck, following on from the previous musical impressions. Can either of you do any good impressions of people? Maybe famous people, dead or alive? Love the podcast. Respect, guys. I can do Cher.

• 43:35Ant McPartlin?

  Do you believe in love after love?

• 43:41Ant McPartlin?

  You can't do that.

• 43:44Ant McPartlin?

  Do you believe in love after love?

• 43:49Ant McPartlin?

  Anyone can do Cher after that.

• 43:51Declan Donnelly?

  No matter how hard I try.

• 43:54Ant McPartlin?

  You can push a mirror, shine a camera.

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