  How good are them lollies? We've been given these very old-school-looking lollipops, which Jeremiah bought in Italy. And in Italy, they're called laca lacas. Lollipop, that's Italian for lollipop. Laca laca.

• 1:56Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, nice.

• 1:58Ant McPartlin?

  It looks like you've sliced an orange. That's a slice of an orange.

• 2:03Ant McPartlin?

  It's very tasty. What's yours like?

• 2:06Declan Donnelly?

  I didn't get one.

• 2:08Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 2:10Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know, everybody else has got one. I've just been in the toilet and I've come back from the toilet. Everybody's got lollies.

• 2:14Ant McPartlin?

  And they're all gone.

• 2:15Declan Donnelly?

  You know, that, that noise. I've got that thing. You know, there's a condition. Where you can't bear, what's it called?

• 2:24Speaker 04

  Mistraphonia.

• 2:25Declan Donnelly?

  Mistraphonia. I've got that.

• 2:26Ant McPartlin?

  Four more.

• 2:28Declan Donnelly?

  It's not four more.

• 2:29Ant McPartlin?

  Four more, you're missing out. Peter's missing out. You're missing out on licking lollies.

• 2:32Declan Donnelly?

  Do you know what that is?

• 2:33Speaker 04

  I don't like that sound.

• 2:35Declan Donnelly?

  I don't like hearing people eating and licking.

• 2:38Ant McPartlin?

  Mmm, this is gonna be a tough podcast for you.

• 2:41Speaker 04

  Would you feel different about it if you had one?

• 2:43Declan Donnelly?

  I might feel slightly less.

• 2:45Ant McPartlin?

  Left out.

• 2:45Declan Donnelly?

  Have you got one?

• 2:46Ant McPartlin?

  Course we've got one, we wouldn't leave you out.

• 2:50Ant McPartlin?

  Whoa, watch us wreck the mic. Psych. Hold on, we do have a podcast to do, so I'll.

• 2:58Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my god. Watch those crowns. Mind those crowns, they cost a fortune.

• 3:05Ant McPartlin?

  How are you with that?

• 3:06Declan Donnelly?

  Bad. I was in the airport the other day.

• 3:09Ant McPartlin?

  There you go. You're always getting up somewhere.

• 3:13Declan Donnelly?

  Most than Andy Peters.

• 3:14Ant McPartlin?

  You are.

• 3:15Declan Donnelly?

  I was in the airport the other day.

• 3:17Ant McPartlin?

  Fine Greg.

• 3:18Declan Donnelly?

  I was in the lounge, in the executive lounge, because I go.

• 3:24Ant McPartlin?

  Well done you.

• 3:26Declan Donnelly?

  And a woman came and sat opposite me with a bag of crisps. And I thought, this is not gonna go well. And she sat opposite me and she ate really noisily a bag of crisps. It really upset me.

• 3:38Ant McPartlin?

  What flavour were they?

• 3:39Declan Donnelly?

  Plain.

• 3:40Ant McPartlin?

  Oh no.

• 3:42Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 3:42Ant McPartlin?

  She deserved your wrath, and I do presume you wrath down on her.

• 3:46Declan Donnelly?

  I stared.

• 3:47Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, okay, well done.

• 3:50Declan Donnelly?

  Stared at her.

• 3:50Ant McPartlin?

  Well done.

• 3:51Speaker 04

  Any tutting?

• 3:52Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 3:52Ant McPartlin?

  No tussing?

• 3:53Declan Donnelly?

  No, I didn't tuss.

• 3:54Ant McPartlin?

  No?

• 3:55Declan Donnelly?

  Because it's not her problem, it's my problem.

• 3:57Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, she, yeah, you're right. It's your problem.

• 3:59Declan Donnelly?

  It's me, I've got an issue with it.

• 4:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Anywho, welcome to the hangouts with me and him. Oh, you're not gonna suck on it now, are you?

• 4:05Declan Donnelly?

  Well, everybody's having such a lovely time.

• 4:07Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I crunched mine down because you were left out. Now you're sucking on it.

• 4:15Ant McPartlin?

  See now you're making that noise?

• 4:17Declan Donnelly?

  It's very sweet.

• 4:18Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it's a lollipop. From Italy. Called Laca Laca.

• 4:23Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not sure about the shape.

• 4:25Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean? It's a lollipop shape.

• 4:27Declan Donnelly?

  It's not. It's flat. Like, I like a, I like a, like a chuppa chup.

• 4:32Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you like that? Oh, I like the roundness of that. You can get a really, it goes flat against your tongue.

• 4:37Declan Donnelly?

  This is round and flat. Yeah, that's the thing. It's like a kid's lollipop, eh?

• 4:40Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 4:41Speaker 04

  That's the thumbnail.

• 4:42Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh, that was good.

• 4:44Ant McPartlin?

  That's a thumbnail then.

• 4:45Declan Donnelly?

  That's actually quite nice.

• 4:46Ant McPartlin?

  See?

• 4:48Declan Donnelly?

  It tastes better like that.

• 4:49Ant McPartlin?

  Because you're licking all the flavour off. It's good. There's a, there's a reason why they're shaped that way. Please get in touch, uh, at, uh, hangingoutatbellafox.com, uh, and just let us know what lollipops are called in other languages, other than Italian.

• 5:02Declan Donnelly?

  Where are you watching?

• 5:03Ant McPartlin?

  We like Laca Laca.

• 5:04Declan Donnelly?

  What is our reach? And what do you call lollipops?

• 5:06Ant McPartlin?

  Laca Laca. Is there a liquor liquor out there? Because that would be cool, wouldn't it?

• 5:11Declan Donnelly?

  I just hit my teeth there.

• 5:12Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god. The sound is I have a problem with. It's the visuals I have a problem with. I don't like to see your tongue making that action.

• 5:21Declan Donnelly?

  Let's get rid of that. It's very nice, thank you.

• 5:24Ant McPartlin?

  You didn't crunch yours?

• 5:25Declan Donnelly?

  No, can't.

• 5:26Ant McPartlin?

  Why don't we all put our lollipops down and concentrate on the job in hand, which is entertaining the public?

• 5:33Declan Donnelly?

  It is great to be back in your ears and your eyes, once again, from the hangout.

• 5:38Ant McPartlin?

  Cheers.

• 5:40Declan Donnelly?

  What have you brought today? Lukewarm water?

• 5:43Ant McPartlin?

  Coffee.

• 5:44Declan Donnelly?

  Coffee.

• 5:44Ant McPartlin?

  Why lukewarm? Never lukewarm.

• 5:46Declan Donnelly?

  Room temperature water, that's what you're having it?

• 5:48Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 5:49Declan Donnelly?

  I thought it was in your cup.

• 5:51Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 5:51Declan Donnelly?

  Was it not?

• 5:53Ant McPartlin?

  Absolutely not.

• 5:53Declan Donnelly?

  You had a chilled one and a lukewarm one?

• 5:55Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I like chilled one. I didn't want the, the lukewarm one was a, a mistake. Made by a minion who is since not working on this show.

• 6:03Declan Donnelly?

  He's gone now, has he?

• 6:04Ant McPartlin?

  Been sacked.

• 6:05Declan Donnelly?

  He's gone.

• 6:05Ant McPartlin?

  Minion, yeah. Turo.

• 6:08Declan Donnelly?

  He's gone. That was his last, last show a couple of weeks back.

• 6:11Ant McPartlin?

  There's only two sackable offences when you work for us. One is getting me the wrong temperature water and he's calling me dick. That's the other one.

• 6:19Speaker 04

  One strike, one.

• 6:21Ant McPartlin?

  Strike one, you only get one strike, two strikes and you're out.

• 6:24Declan Donnelly?

  Anywho.

• 6:25Ant McPartlin?

  You can see on the desk in front of us, we have once again the discussion jar.

• 6:30Declan Donnelly?

  In it are topics that you have sent in for us to have a look at and have a chat about if we so desire. Let's have a look at some of your discussion topics.

• 6:43Ant McPartlin?

  We hope we can expand on the topic, that we can broaden the bandwidth of the topic. Or we can shut it down if we don't agree with it.

• 6:51Declan Donnelly?

  Broaden the bandwidth, I like that.

• 6:52Ant McPartlin?

  You like that one, don't you?

• 6:53Declan Donnelly?

  I do like that.

• 6:54Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, this one looks meaty. Oh, it is, it is meaty. Right. It just says, stop moving that.

• 7:04Ant McPartlin?

  It says. Ah, it's explaining the type A person and the type B person. When we talked about being a type A and a type B. So type A are go-getters. Type As are driven, highly organised and always watching the clock. They thrive on achievement but can struggle to turn their brains off. Traits competitive, ambitious, highly organised and patient. Their motto is time is money, let's get it done yesterday. Good things about being type A. They're incredibly productive, reliable and excellent at meeting tight deadlines. The mad things about being type A are they are prone to stress, perfectionism and can get easily frustrated by delays or slow people.

• 7:48Declan Donnelly?

  What's type B?

• 7:49Ant McPartlin?

  Type B, the chill creators. Type B individuals are casual, reflective and take life as it comes. They care about success but not at the expense of their peace of mind. Their traits are relaxed, creative, adaptable and patient. Motto is fine, everything is fine and we'll get there when we get there. The good things about being a type B person are you handle stress beautifully, were well under pressure without panicking and are highly imaginative. Bad things about being a type B person are you sometimes struggle with procrastination, look a little bit disorganised and lack a sense of urgency.

• 8:26Declan Donnelly?

  I don't think I fit into either one of those.

• 8:28Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I think, yeah.

• 8:30Declan Donnelly?

  Is there a C?

• 8:32Speaker 04

  Type C is, uh, ooh, behavioural pattern, characterised by detail-oriented, analytical and logic-driven.

• 8:42Ant McPartlin?

  That's quite you.

• 8:43Declan Donnelly?

  Is it?

• 8:44Speaker 04

  Highly dependable peacemakers who avoid conflict and tend to internalise their emotions.

• 8:49Ant McPartlin?

  That's not you.

• 8:50Declan Donnelly?

  I'll smash your face in the nose. Yeah, I don't think I fit into any of them.

• 8:54Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 8:55Speaker 04

  You're unique.

• 8:58Ant McPartlin?

  But it's that when people read out the traits of your zodiac sign. Well, yeah, I see if you were just calling that unique, you would have heard what I said.

• 9:07Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks Fiona.

• 9:09Ant McPartlin?

  Whilst licking a lolly.

• 9:12Declan Donnelly?

  You are unique.

• 9:19Declan Donnelly?

  You're flirting with me right now.

• 9:23Ant McPartlin?

  I forgot what I said. Oh yeah, traits of your zodiac. I'm Scorpio, but I'm not a typical Scorpio.

• 9:30Declan Donnelly?

  Sting in the tail.

• 9:32Ant McPartlin?

  I don't, I don't have a sting in the tail.

• 9:35Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 9:35Ant McPartlin?

  I don't know. Shut up. Do I?

• 9:41Declan Donnelly?

  I think you can, you've got a temper on you.

• 9:43Ant McPartlin?

  But I'm not nasty.

• 9:44Declan Donnelly?

  You've got a long fuse, but it goes very quickly.

• 9:47Ant McPartlin?

  But I'm not like a, there's not a sting like, it's not a, I'm not a nasty person.

• 9:51Declan Donnelly?

  You're not, you're not, you're not at all.

• 9:52Speaker 04

  Scorpios are defined by their intensity.

• 9:55Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 9:56Speaker 04

  Magnetism.

• 9:57Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 9:57Speaker 04

  And ambition.

• 9:59Declan Donnelly?

  Tick.

• 10:00Ant McPartlin?

  And sexiness.

• 10:01Declan Donnelly?

  That's not one.

• 10:02Speaker 04

  Well, they're very passionate.

• 10:03Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, they are very passionate.

• 10:04Speaker 04

  And sensual.

• 10:05Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, give them a wooden spoon.

• 10:06Ant McPartlin?

  That's right, yeah. And I'll spank you with it.

• 10:12Declan Donnelly?

  You're flirting with me right now. Uh, what is a Libra?

• 10:16Speaker 04

  Libras are charming, diplomatic, fair-minded. They thrive in social settings and seek harmony and aesthetic beauty.

• 10:29Declan Donnelly?

  I mean, it kind of sums me up.

• 10:31Speaker 04

  But they really struggle with indecisiveness.

• 10:33Declan Donnelly?

  Yep.

• 10:35Speaker 04

  And conflict avoidance.

• 10:37Ant McPartlin?

  I would say avoid conflict avoidance. No way. No way.

• 10:41Declan Donnelly?

  No, yeah. Don't go looking for it, but, but if it comes my way, I'll deal with it.

• 10:49Declan Donnelly?

  Um, I think they're both pretty good as, as star signs go.

• 10:54Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 10:54Declan Donnelly?

  Do you ever read your stars?

• 10:55Ant McPartlin?

  Nah.

• 10:56Declan Donnelly?

  Anywho, we think there are more than two types of people.

• 10:59Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we do.

• 11:00Declan Donnelly?

  Um, what do you think about the concept of eternity? Would you like to be immortal? That's a good question.

• 11:10Ant McPartlin?

  Two different questions then, though, isn't it?

• 11:12Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. So the concept of, of eternity and living forever. Would you like to live forever? Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever? Not me.

• 11:28Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, don't you?

• 11:29Declan Donnelly?

  No, no. Could you be bothered? Could you be bothered?

• 11:31Ant McPartlin?

  Could be bothered. Well, there'll be days where you can't be bothered. There'll be days where you can be bothered.

• 11:37Declan Donnelly?

  Well, go on a bit, wouldn't it?

• 11:38Ant McPartlin?

  Course it'll go on for a bit. It's eternity. Is that different? So immortal, right? So if you're immortal, that's the way I think of it, like Highland or the movie.

• 11:46Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 11:47Ant McPartlin?

  Where, have you seen Highland in the movie? They're making a remake of it. It's always one of the best movies ever grown up.

• 11:52Declan Donnelly?

  There can be only one.

• 11:53Ant McPartlin?

  Proper it, but honestly.

• 11:54Declan Donnelly?

  I've seen that.

• 11:55Ant McPartlin?

  Um, there can be only one. So these Highlanders are left on earth. They can live forever. The only thing that can kill them is another Highlander chopping their heads off.

• 12:05Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, and there can be only one. So they travel around the world and they seek each other out and they fight each other and there can be only one. Anyway, apparently there's a remake with, uh, Henry Cavill coming out.

• 12:14Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, good.

• 12:15Ant McPartlin?

  I know.

• 12:15Declan Donnelly?

  Now I like Henry Cavill.

• 12:16Ant McPartlin?

  Henry Cavill and Russell Crowe.

• 12:18Declan Donnelly?

  Very good.

• 12:19Ant McPartlin?

  I know. True gossip, they got.

• 12:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 12:21Ant McPartlin?

  It's a date. Great. Anyway, that is about, so they're immortal unless they get their heads chopped off by another Highlander. And I always thought, that looks cool. Even though like they fall in love with people and then everyone they met.

• 12:35Declan Donnelly?

  Dies eventually.

• 12:36Ant McPartlin?

  So they're full of grief and, you know, sorrow. Quite cool though, just living through all the ages.

• 12:43Declan Donnelly?

  Do you think?

• 12:44Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I do.

• 12:46Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know, like.

• 12:47Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean you don't know?

• 12:48Declan Donnelly?

  Well, like you'd see so many politicians come and go and you go, oh.

• 12:52Ant McPartlin?

  We see that now anyway.

• 12:53Declan Donnelly?

  Well, that's, I suppose. He'd see, I don't know, like loads of different prime ministers in.

• 12:58Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we see that, see that now anyway.

• 13:01Declan Donnelly?

  No, I think, I don't know, I kind of.

• 13:03Ant McPartlin?

  You're happy with your time?

• 13:05Declan Donnelly?

  Oh yeah, I think so. And then where do we go next? Like there's, there's more, there's gonna be more to life than death, right?

• 13:10Ant McPartlin?

  I, I know, I do.

• 13:11Declan Donnelly?

  Do you know what I mean?

• 13:12Ant McPartlin?

  I don't think you live in one place for eternity. I think, I'm a believer in reincarnation. I think, I think you come back.

• 13:20Declan Donnelly?

  Do you? Are you?

• 13:21Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 13:22Speaker 04

  What would you come back as?

• 13:23Ant McPartlin?

  It was up to me. Chocolate brown labdo.

• 13:25Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 13:27Ant McPartlin?

  Just didn't have got the best life. Yeah.

• 13:30Declan Donnelly?

  I'd come back as a licka licka lollipop.

• 13:33Ant McPartlin?

  No, it has to have a soul, surely, to come back.

• 13:36Declan Donnelly?

  It's like, lick me to death.

• 13:40Declan Donnelly?

  What a way to go.

• 13:43Ant McPartlin?

  Do you believe in eternity?

• 13:45Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, yes, yes, I do.

• 13:48Ant McPartlin?

  But?

• 13:49Declan Donnelly?

  But, uh.

• 13:50Ant McPartlin?

  Is there a but?

• 13:51Declan Donnelly?

  No, not really. I believe in.

• 13:52Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 13:53Declan Donnelly?

  I believe in eternity. Obviously, I don't believe in, um.

• 13:58Ant McPartlin?

  Perfume.

• 14:00Declan Donnelly?

  Eternity for men. Uh, no, uh, yeah, I think, I think there were different stages of consciousness.

• 14:07Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 14:08Declan Donnelly?

  Um, and, uh, funnily enough, like on my social media at the minute, it's been serving me up a lot of near death experiences.

• 14:15Ant McPartlin?

  All right.

• 14:16Declan Donnelly?

  About people's accounts of almost dying and being in like an operating theatre, having an out of body experience, seeing the surgeons working on them, flatlining on the bed, and then where they go and it's in the tunnel with the light at the end of the tunnel.

• 14:28Ant McPartlin?

  All of the, um.

• 14:29Declan Donnelly?

  All of the accounts are similar, aren't they? Walking towards the light and and loved ones being there, people they've known in this life being there to welcome them. And then there's like a gate, like the pearly gates, I guess, in a way. And there's a gate that they have to go through and there's somebody at the gate saying, you have to go back, it's not your time. And they're sent back and then they wake up on the operating table again. So but there's been a lot of these individual accounts of near death experiences, which I found very interesting, very fascinating.

• 15:00Ant McPartlin?

  See, so I believe that when you, so when that happens, you eventually do go, so it's not near death, it is death, that you go to this place of rebirth. But before you're reborn in a different body, you, it's like a, the great scales of karma, do you know what I mean? So it depends what form you take when you come back, whether you've got a good life or a bad life.

• 15:23Declan Donnelly?

  That is another thing that they said, actually. You know, that old trope of your life flashes before you.

• 15:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 15:28Declan Donnelly?

  A lot of these people who have had near death experiences go towards the light that there, they see their loved ones. And parts of their life are played out in front of them, or from other people's vantage points.

• 15:38Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 15:39Declan Donnelly?

  So they see themselves in situations and go through it and live it again. Not live it again, but see it, but from other people's points, points of view and how it made other people feel.

• 15:51Ant McPartlin?

  I wonder if you just look at those, those points of view and just think, oh my god.

• 15:57Declan Donnelly?

  But that's quite interesting, isn't it? And it's, it, it's made me think, oh god, what episodes of my life would I not like to see from other people's vantage points?

• 16:05Ant McPartlin?

  All of the episodes of slap bang.

• 16:07Declan Donnelly?

  Alien autopsy. It's quite interesting, isn't it?

• 16:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 16:15Declan Donnelly?

  I'm fascinated by it.

  This next bit is an advert for Gemini, Google's AI app.

• 16:22Declan Donnelly?

  I'm very much enjoying this festival of football we're having this summer.

• 16:27Ant McPartlin?

  Same, same.

• 16:28Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I thought, what I want to try and do is have food from around the world.

• 16:34Ant McPartlin?

  Oh god, and you're cooking.

• 16:35Declan Donnelly?

  And I'm, well, I'm going to try and cook. So I thought I could use Gemini to help me out to.

• 16:41Ant McPartlin?

  That okay.

• 16:42Declan Donnelly?

  To make.

• 16:42Ant McPartlin?

  All right.

• 16:43Declan Donnelly?

  A Mexican banquet.

• 16:45Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 16:45Declan Donnelly?

  Can't be that difficult.

• 16:47Ant McPartlin?

  Hmm, it can.

• 16:48Declan Donnelly?

  Well, let's find out. Gemini, I would like to cook my family a Mexican banquet. Uh, vegetarian options would be good and I've only got an hour to prepare it.

• 17:03Declan Donnelly?

  Here we go.

• 17:03Ant McPartlin?

  Right, go on.

• 17:04Declan Donnelly?

  Gemini says, an hour is a tight window for a full banquet, but you can absolutely pull off an epic stadium-ready Mexican spread. If we lean heavily into a build your own taco and nacho bar.

• 17:15Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, my God, that sounds good.

• 17:17Declan Donnelly?

  What a great idea.

• 17:17Ant McPartlin?

  Build your own taco and nacho bar. Can I come?

• 17:22Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, that means I have to extend what I'm eating.

• 17:25Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, go on.

• 17:26Declan Donnelly?

  Gemini, um, I am now inviting a friend, um, actually, who is lactose free. Hit me. Easily done, says Gemini. A Mexican buffet is actually one of the friendliest setups for dietary restrictions because everything stays separated until it hits the plate.

• 17:43Ant McPartlin?

  Great.

• 17:43Declan Donnelly?

  Amazing.

• 17:44Ant McPartlin?

  Can Milo come?

• 17:45Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 17:46Ant McPartlin?

  Can I bring Milo? It sounds good. Well, get the kids together, get the wives together, they can all chat, they can play, we can watch the football. Don't make it too spicy for the kids though.

• 17:55Declan Donnelly?

  Are you kidding me?

• 17:56Ant McPartlin?

  Just say not too spicy.

• 17:58Declan Donnelly?

  Gemini, um, we've got kids attending, um, what's the fastest emergency trick to cool down, to despice my food, to cool it down, please?

• 18:09Ant McPartlin?

  I bet it's yogurt or cream.

• 18:11Declan Donnelly?

  Gemini says, quick fixes.

• 18:13Ant McPartlin?

  Yogurt.

• 18:13Declan Donnelly?

  Squeeze in some lime juice, juice or a splash of vinegar.

• 18:16Ant McPartlin?

  And cream?

• 18:18Declan Donnelly?

  And.

• 18:18Ant McPartlin?

  Sour cream?

• 18:19Declan Donnelly?

  Here we go.

• 18:20Ant McPartlin?

  Cream.

• 18:20Declan Donnelly?

  Dilute it. Toss it in a can of drained sweet corn or kidney beans. Note.

• 18:25Ant McPartlin?

  Do not.

• 18:26Declan Donnelly?

  Avoid using sour cream or butter to cool down the food.

• 18:29Ant McPartlin?

  Shut up, it doesn't say that.

• 18:30Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, because the dishes will not stay completely safe for your lactose-free friend. Ah, you've shot yourself in the foot.

• 18:39Declan Donnelly?

  With Gemini, you can chat live with a truly helpful AI assistant. You jump in, get some cooking tips, ask for more details or even show what you're talking about by sharing your screen or camera as well. It's therefore a real chat, not just a quick question and then you're done.

  This next bit is sponsored by Santander, who understand managing money can sometimes be overwhelming and building small everyday habits can make it feel more manageable.

• 19:17Ant McPartlin?

  What you doing?

• 19:18Declan Donnelly?

  I am going through my accounts, trying to work out what I've got as like a standing order, a direct debit, what subscriptions I've got.

• 19:26Ant McPartlin?

  Ah.

• 19:27Declan Donnelly?

  It's just I've, I've got a lot of stuff that you just subscribe to and you start with and then you just leave them there and they keep going out of your account every month.

• 19:34Ant McPartlin?

  Well, let me have a look, like the gym.

• 19:37Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 19:38Ant McPartlin?

  Do you still go?

• 19:40Declan Donnelly?

  Every now and again.

• 19:41Ant McPartlin?

  When, when was the last time you went?

• 19:42Declan Donnelly?

  Um.

• 19:44Ant McPartlin?

  Last year?

• 19:44Declan Donnelly?

  March.

• 19:46Ant McPartlin?

  March, do you need that?

• 19:48Declan Donnelly?

  They've got a good vendor machine there.

• 19:52Ant McPartlin?

  Do you need that for now?

• 19:53Declan Donnelly?

  No, I don't, no.

• 19:54Ant McPartlin?

  For now?

• 19:54Declan Donnelly?

  No, I don't need it anymore.

• 19:55Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, well, get rid of it, get rid of that one.

• 19:57Declan Donnelly?

  I'll get rid of that.

• 19:58Ant McPartlin?

  Do that one and then you can come back to it again.

• 20:01Declan Donnelly?

  Right, okay.

• 20:01Ant McPartlin?

  So you don't have to like weigh up the pros and cons of everything on there.

• 20:05Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 20:05Ant McPartlin?

  Because if you did that, you'd be there all day, you just need to start with one thing, be intentional, don't let it wash over you.

• 20:11Declan Donnelly?

  And do it in a little bite sized chunk.

• 20:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 20:13Declan Donnelly?

  And actually it would be quite good to do this like every six months.

• 20:16Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 20:17Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe just to check what you have subscribed to, what you have got, do you still need them, do you still use them or have you just forgotten about them and you're still paying for them?

• 20:24Ant McPartlin?

  Like me and that piano app that I've got on my phone, where you can play the piano.

• 20:29Declan Donnelly?

  How's that going?

• 20:29Ant McPartlin?

  I've never used it.

• 20:31Declan Donnelly?

  Have you not?

• 20:32Ant McPartlin?

  No, but I've paid for it for two years. And I never used it. Easily done, but easily got rid of. And that's what Santander are all about. Helping you take charge of your money and encouraging you to build good savings habits.

• 21:36Ant McPartlin?

  That's not allowed.

• 21:37Declan Donnelly?

  That's not allowed.

• 21:37Ant McPartlin?

  Only we can say that.

• 21:38Declan Donnelly?

  We'll have to bleep that.

• 21:40Ant McPartlin?

  This is from Kate.

• 21:42Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, Kate.

• 21:43Ant McPartlin?

  Don't know why we need to know that. But here we go. Hi, Antec. Loving the podcast. Never fails to make me laugh.

• 21:48Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that's good. Today's Mike. Today's Mike, eternal life and all that.

• 21:51Ant McPartlin?

  I know you really want to break a Guinness World Record.

• 21:54Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, we do.

• 21:55Ant McPartlin?

  But if you could have anything named after you, what would it be? Respect, guys.

• 22:00Declan Donnelly?

  The wing of a hospital.

• 22:05Speaker 04

  You've really thought about that.

• 22:06Ant McPartlin?

  A museum.

• 22:07Declan Donnelly?

  A museum's good.

• 22:08Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 22:09Declan Donnelly?

  That is good.

• 22:10Ant McPartlin?

  No, well, not a museum of our stuff, but I've donated to museums.

• 22:15Declan Donnelly?

  You've paid for it?

• 22:15Ant McPartlin?

  I paid for it, yeah.

• 22:17Speaker 04

  You've had a banana tree named after you?

• 22:19Ant McPartlin?

  I have, yeah. Banana tree named after me, yeah, that's right. And there's those sheep, wasn't there, the sheep that was named after us in Wales? And the llamas?

• 22:27Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, we've got ostriches in Battersea Zoo, named after us.

• 22:31Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Terrapins. Maybe the type of plant that would be cool.

• 22:35Speaker 04

  You'd have to discover that.

• 22:36Declan Donnelly?

  Would we?

• 22:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 22:38Ant McPartlin?

  Or could we not breed it?

• 22:39Declan Donnelly?

  Is it okay to genetically modify?

• 22:41Ant McPartlin?

  A plant? Just when we call it the Antedecalorium? Yeah.

• 22:46Speaker 04

  Antedecalorium.

• 22:47Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. If you're, if you are responsible for naming plants, breeding plants, get in touch, because we want our own plant.

• 22:53Declan Donnelly?

  A road, a street.

• 22:55Ant McPartlin?

  A street, yeah. Well done. Thank you. Back on sensible street.

• 23:00Declan Donnelly?

  Is that what we'd call it? Sensible Street?

• 23:02Ant McPartlin?

  We wouldn't, that's not named after us.

• 23:04Speaker 04

  Roundabout, motorway.

• 23:06Ant McPartlin?

  Oh yeah, yeah, you can name roundabouts, like businesses can name roundabouts, can't they? You can sponsor a roundabout. Should we sponsor a roundabout? That's a good way of, that's a good way of, um, people knowing that the pod is on.

• 23:18Speaker 04

  In Cumbria.

• 23:19Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. In Cumbria. Let's sponsor a roundabout in Cumbria. Okay.

• 23:23Declan Donnelly?

  Where's, where's the, where's the pussy with the rosette? Is that in Norfolk?

• 23:26Speaker 04

  Uh, Norwich, yeah.

• 23:27Ant McPartlin?

  Norwich, so we need to go in Cumbria.

• 23:29Declan Donnelly?

  We want to sponsor a roundabout in Cumbria. Can somebody get in touch? They're usually all done by garden centres, aren't they? Sponsored by.

• 23:37Ant McPartlin?

  But I presume, anyone from Cumbria County Council? Can you please get in touch?

• 23:41Declan Donnelly?

  We'd like to sponsor one of your roundabouts.

• 23:43Ant McPartlin?

  The bigger the better.

• 23:43Declan Donnelly?

  Hanging out roundabout.

• 23:45Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 23:45Declan Donnelly?

  Come on. What, is it me? What, me?

• 23:48Speaker 04

  Just do one more.

• 23:49Declan Donnelly?

  This is a chunky one.

• 23:52Declan Donnelly?

  This is from Alicia.

• 23:54Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, hi Alicia.

• 23:56Declan Donnelly?

  Torquay.

• 23:56Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, how's case signed, Amanda?

• 23:59Declan Donnelly?

  No, not that Alicia. She's in Torquay.

• 24:02Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 24:02Declan Donnelly?

  In brackets, Devon.

• 24:05Ant McPartlin?

  Huh?

• 24:06Declan Donnelly?

  She just wants us to know Torquay's in Devon.

• 24:07Ant McPartlin?

  Is it? I didn't know that. The English Riviera.

• 24:11Declan Donnelly?

  Hello, heckless corner.

• 24:13Ant McPartlin?

  Hi. Hi.

• 24:14Declan Donnelly?

  And the other two?

• 24:15Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, and there's her, is she? This isn't going to go well, is it, this?

• 24:19Declan Donnelly?

  I'm hoping you can solve a big question happening around my dinner table tonight.

• 24:22Ant McPartlin?

  I hope we can.

• 24:23Declan Donnelly?

  What order do you get ready in the morning? What is the correct way, AKA shower, teeth, breakfast, get dressed? I'm hoping you solve this never-ending topic of discussion in my family. It is exhausting. Stay fresh, from Alicia.

• 24:37Ant McPartlin?

  Well, Alicia.

• 24:37Declan Donnelly?

  What's your order?

• 24:38Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, apart from that poor start.

• 24:41Declan Donnelly?

  I like it.

• 24:42Ant McPartlin?

  Preferred heckless corner.

• 24:43Declan Donnelly?

  It brings us down a peg or two.

• 24:43Ant McPartlin?

  Oh yeah, we like, we need that. Uh, it's a very good question.

• 24:48Declan Donnelly?

  It's a great question.

• 24:49Ant McPartlin?

  And it's a very good kind of dinner party question. Cause there's no wrong answers.

• 24:52Declan Donnelly?

  Well, Alicia says, what is the correct way? She's saying.

• 24:56Ant McPartlin?

  Well, there's no correct way. We've got our own way. Well, we know you get up and take the dogs out for a wee, as do I. That's the first thing. Out of bed, downstairs, open the back door, we're in the garden. Upstairs, different for me with the baby, once he finishes his milk.

• 25:10Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm.

• 25:11Ant McPartlin?

  And then.

• 25:12Declan Donnelly?

  What's the first bit of personal hygiene you do?

• 25:16Ant McPartlin?

  I go back downstairs, make a coffee.

• 25:19Declan Donnelly?

  So it's coffee.

• 25:21Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, then I go back upstairs. A lot of walking downstairs in my house.

• 25:26Declan Donnelly?

  You get your steps in there and go in.

• 25:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I do, yeah. I should wear them. What are they called? Ming things.

• 25:32Declan Donnelly?

  Horus.

• 25:32Ant McPartlin?

  Horus. Um, back upstairs to then shower, brush teeth, get ready for the day.

• 25:38Declan Donnelly?

  So shower, teeth, dressed.

• 25:42Ant McPartlin?

  Shower, teeth, dressed. Yes. Yeah, I'm thinking of it through. You?

• 25:50Declan Donnelly?

  Teeth, shower, dressed.

• 25:54Ant McPartlin?

  You couldn't get dressed before the shower, could you? Like?

• 25:56Declan Donnelly?

  No, no.

• 25:58Ant McPartlin?

  Teeth, shower, dressed.

• 26:00Speaker 04

  When's breakfast?

• 26:01Declan Donnelly?

  Um, I intermittent fast.

• 26:03Speaker 04

  Oh, don't have to worry about that.

• 26:05Declan Donnelly?

  Well, yeah, so I don't.

• 26:07Ant McPartlin?

  Why do you always say intermittent?

• 26:09Declan Donnelly?

  So, no, I'd have a late breakfast.

• 26:11Speaker 04

  So what time do you have fast?

• 26:13Declan Donnelly?

  Usually about twelve.

• 26:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I only have breakfast on the weekends.

• 26:15Declan Donnelly?

  So I don't, yeah, I don't think there is a correct way of doing this.

• 26:18Ant McPartlin?

  There's not, there's not a correct way. We're all different.

• 26:20Speaker 04

  We're all unique.

• 26:21Speaker 05

  I'm unique.

• 26:22Ant McPartlin?

  I'm unique. Leg, leg. You're all unique. Leg, leg.

• 26:27Declan Donnelly?

  And on that note.

• 26:28Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 26:29Declan Donnelly?

  On that note.

• 26:30Ant McPartlin?

  Hold on, I thought we were doing one more. Did you do one more?

• 26:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, if it's a little one.

• 26:34Ant McPartlin?

  It is a little one, thank you. I've got a little one.

• 26:36Declan Donnelly?

  Room for a little one.

• 26:38Ant McPartlin?

  Thoughts on playing music without headphones?

• 26:42Declan Donnelly?

  Not in public.

• 26:43Ant McPartlin?

  I'm all for it. Oh.

• 26:44Declan Donnelly?

  Not in public.

• 26:44Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean?

• 26:45Declan Donnelly?

  You can't do it out and about.

• 26:46Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 26:47Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that's so rude.

• 26:49Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean?

• 26:50Declan Donnelly?

  So rude. You can't inflict your music on everybody else.

• 26:55Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, but I think, I'm like, not on the, if you're on a bus or something, someone's playing their music without their headphones on, then you're like, oh, shut up. Or on a train or whatever, public transport. But you know, when you're like walking around and you hear music, if you're in town and you.

• 27:10Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yeah, that's fine.

• 27:11Ant McPartlin?

  I like that.

• 27:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 27:12Ant McPartlin?

  So that's coming from somewhere.

• 27:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I don't mind that, but not playing your music. Like.

• 27:18Ant McPartlin?

  What, as in DJ and Duncan songs? Is that what you mean?

• 27:21Declan Donnelly?

  No, not your music. Um, so how about this? I was out last week with Jack.

• 27:28Ant McPartlin?

  On a flight?

• 27:29Declan Donnelly?

  No, no, I wasn't on a flight this time.

• 27:30Ant McPartlin?

  Surprise, surprise.

• 27:31Declan Donnelly?

  I'm at a playgroup.

• 27:32Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 27:32Declan Donnelly?

  With Jack and they go in and the parents all hang outside and it's an opportunity to catch up on your emails and do this. There is a parent sat there watching her kid through the window with a phone in front of her, playing music to herself while everybody else is doing their emails.

• 27:52Ant McPartlin?

  What kind of music?

• 27:54Declan Donnelly?

  Chart music. Hot music.

• 27:57Ant McPartlin?

  Why do you say that so dismissively?

• 27:59Declan Donnelly?

  Chart.

• 27:59Ant McPartlin?

  Chart music.

• 28:01Declan Donnelly?

  That's not loud, is it?

• 28:02Ant McPartlin?

  It's selfish, I agree.

• 28:03Declan Donnelly?

  It's not loud, is it?

• 28:04Speaker 04

  What if it was like a smooth bossin' over?

• 28:07Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, oh classical, would you, would you be up for that classical?

• 28:10Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 28:11Ant McPartlin?

  No music?

• 28:12Declan Donnelly?

  No, no music.

• 28:13Ant McPartlin?

  I do like hearing music. If that was the one medium I couldn't give up is music. I, I could give up TV, could give up films, I could give up reading, I just couldn't give up listening to music. If I had to keep on and get rid of all the rest.

• 28:28Declan Donnelly?

  What about podcasts?

• 28:29Ant McPartlin?

  I could give them.

• 28:30Speaker 04

  First to go.

• 28:31Ant McPartlin?

  First to go, having made the list.

• 28:35Ant McPartlin?

  Gone.

• 28:36Declan Donnelly?

  Gone. What if, what if right, we get to a point, here, here's the thing, right? Infinity, you're living forever now. What if we get to a point where there's like a news flash and they go, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we've just realised that

• 28:55Declan Donnelly?

  all the songs that have ever been written, we've run out of songs. Like, there is no more songs because there's only a certain number of notes.

• 29:03Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 29:03Declan Donnelly?

  That we can't put them in another, we can't put them in another sequence.

• 29:06Ant McPartlin?

  All the songs have been written.

• 29:07Declan Donnelly?

  All the songs have been written, so you're just gonna have to get on with the songs that you've got.

• 29:13Declan Donnelly?

  That would be mad, wouldn't it?

• 29:18Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, it would.

• 29:20Declan Donnelly?

  I'd be alright.

• 29:21Ant McPartlin?

  You'd be alright, you've got decades to catch up to the rest of us.

• 29:24Declan Donnelly?

  I'm fine, guys. Me and Lady Gaga here, we're fine, we're alright.

• 29:28Speaker 04

  That would be mad.

• 29:29Declan Donnelly?

  That would be mad.

• 29:32Ant McPartlin?

  It would be mad.

• 29:39Ant McPartlin?

  That would be mad, wouldn't it?

• 29:40Declan Donnelly?

  That would be mad, wouldn't it? If no more, if every song has been written now and that's it, that's, wow, that's mad.

• 29:47Ant McPartlin?

  In my eye, that's a good question. That's mad, isn't it?

• 29:51Declan Donnelly?

  That could happen though, couldn't it? Could happen.

• 29:54Speaker 05

  I guess.

• 29:56Declan Donnelly?

  It's only seven notes.

• 29:58Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, God.

• 29:59Declan Donnelly?

  Not A, B, C, D, E, F, G.

• 30:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 30:03Declan Donnelly?

  Seven notes.

• 30:03Ant McPartlin?

  But how many different octaves are there?

• 30:05Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, loads, but it's only the seven notes that count, isn't it? So, phew, imagine. Anyway, it's mad.

• 30:11Ant McPartlin?

  Anyway, on that hypothetical bombshell, it's time for us to say sayonara.

• 30:21Declan Donnelly?
