  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' healthcare to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side.

• 1:29Declan Donnelly?

  Do we just start it like this?

• 1:31Ant McPartlin?

  It's what they called a cold opener. Yeah, it's cold opening. Welcome once again. Hanging out.

• 1:37Declan Donnelly?

  We're on.

• 1:37Ant McPartlin?

  We're on. This is it. I thought I would wear the checky shirt this week.

• 1:41Declan Donnelly?

  Well, when you're in Canada, it is.

• 1:43Ant McPartlin?

  One of us, I think one of us from now on has to wear a checky shirt.

• 1:46Declan Donnelly?

  Okay. What if we both wear checky shirts at the same time?

• 1:49Ant McPartlin?

  That might be a bit too much for our UK viewers. Our Canadian viewers will love it.

• 1:54Declan Donnelly?

  Right.

• 1:54Ant McPartlin?

  But I think we should alternate. It's important to say, we've got questions from you guys.

• 1:59Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, right. Oh, yes, we have. Sorry. I've got the, I've got the postbag.

• 2:03Ant McPartlin?

  Dragged it all the way from the UK. Build it up. Oh, oh.

• 2:07Declan Donnelly?

  I'll put it over here. Put it next to the stove.

• 2:10Ant McPartlin?

  Well, what could possibly go wrong? It's not on, is it?

• 2:13Declan Donnelly?

  No, it's not on. It's not on.

• 2:14Ant McPartlin?

  Have we named them yet? Mussy?

• 2:16Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 2:16Ant McPartlin?

  We're sticking with Mussy, yeah?

• 2:18Declan Donnelly?

  Brucey.

• 2:18Ant McPartlin?

  Mussy.

• 2:19Declan Donnelly?

  Brucey.

• 2:19Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, Mussy. That's what I said. Mussy.

• 2:21Declan Donnelly?

  Keep your suggestions for Brucey's name.

• 2:23Ant McPartlin?

  It's not Brucey too. It's too British.

• 2:24Declan Donnelly?

  Hangingoutofbellbox.com. Thank you for all of your letters by airmail.

• 2:29Ant McPartlin?

  Airmail.

• 2:30Declan Donnelly?

  We are gonna go through some of them.

• 2:33Ant McPartlin?

  I will, don't I?

• 2:34Declan Donnelly?

  Why not? Why not?

• 2:35Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you're next. I like these. God, do you remember airmail stamps when you were a kid?

• 2:39Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 2:40Ant McPartlin?

  Big thing, wasn't it? Not so much anymore. What?

• 2:43Declan Donnelly?

  Now you're just email.

• 2:44Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, was that worth it? Look at that. Is that worth it? You've got an airmail stamp for that.

• 2:51Declan Donnelly?

  Save the trees, guys. Save the trees.

• 2:53Ant McPartlin?

  And what would your wrestler name be?

• 2:58Ant McPartlin?

  From G A Brewer. What would your wrestler names be? You are included in this.

• 3:03Declan Donnelly?

  I'm on it.

• 3:03Ant McPartlin?

  This is not just for me. I don't know. What would they be called? So I think they, do you go on what you look like?

• 3:12Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe. Well, yeah, like The Undertaker, he dressed as like an Undertaker, didn't he?

• 3:16Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 3:17Declan Donnelly?

  But then I suppose you had Hulk Hogan, who just had a very distinctive look.

• 3:20Ant McPartlin?

  But Hulk is a good word.

• 3:22Declan Donnelly?

  Hulk is a great word.

• 3:23Ant McPartlin?

  So do you need like Mighty or Beefy or?

• 3:26Declan Donnelly?

  Mighty Mouse. I'd be Mighty Mouse.

• 3:28Ant McPartlin?

  That's a good one for you. Mighty Mouse.

• 3:29Declan Donnelly?

  Mighty Mouse.

• 3:30Ant McPartlin?

  I mean, don't know if you'd get away with that.

• 3:32Declan Donnelly?

  Why?

• 3:33Ant McPartlin?

  Because it was a cartoon, Mighty Mouse. But that's good. That works for you. Mighty Mouse.

• 3:36Declan Donnelly?

  The Mighty Moose? No, I'm in Canada.

• 3:40Declan Donnelly?

  And it sounds quite Geordie.

• 3:41Ant McPartlin?

  It does.

• 3:42Declan Donnelly?

  Mighty Moose?

• 3:42Ant McPartlin?

  I am it. Yes, Mighty Moose. Away the lads.

• 3:47Declan Donnelly?

  What would you be?

• 3:47Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, something to do with, um.

• 3:49Declan Donnelly?

  The eel. Slippery eel? Like slippery like an eel?

• 3:52Ant McPartlin?

  No, I'm not slippery like an eel.

• 3:53Declan Donnelly?

  Smooth and slippery like an eel.

• 3:55Ant McPartlin?

  Smooth. What's that? I haven't shaved all my body hair.

• 3:57Declan Donnelly?

  Again.

• 3:57Ant McPartlin?

  And then just put loads of baby lotion on. They'd never get me. They'd never get me in the ring. I like it. I like it. I could never be pinned down.

• 4:05Declan Donnelly?

  Got him in the ring.

• 4:07Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, something to do with the forehead, I can. So that big, big forehead.

• 4:12Declan Donnelly?

  Furious forehead.

• 4:13Ant McPartlin?

  The furious forehead. I like it. There you go. Furious forehead and the Mighty Moose.

• 4:17Declan Donnelly?

  Or mouse.

• 4:18Ant McPartlin?

  Good question, though.

• 4:19Declan Donnelly?

  That's a great question. Is wrestling still a big thing?

• 4:22Ant McPartlin?

  Not enough to me. I've never really been into wrestling.

• 4:24Declan Donnelly?

  I've never been into the wrestling.

• 4:25Ant McPartlin?

  I never really, I always kind of thought it was pantomime. So when I was a kid, I mean, this goes back years ago, on Saturday mornings, like Saturday afternoons on ITV, they used to have like the giant, Big Daddy, giant hair stacks. Then it was like fun.

• 4:39Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 4:40Ant McPartlin?

  So I presume when you're, if you're still a kid and you like the pantomime of the whole thing, the theatre of it, the drama of it all, I can see why people get into it. And a lot of dads take their sons, don't they? A lot of parents take their kids. So it's a kind of, it's a good deal for families.

• 4:56Declan Donnelly?

  Is it? I have now, just never got into it.

• 4:58Ant McPartlin?

  Nah, it's not for me.

• 4:59Declan Donnelly?

  Just never really got into it.

• 5:01Ant McPartlin?

  I get into it once we start our wrestling careers with our new names, obviously.

• 5:04Declan Donnelly?

  This one is Matt from Liverpool.

• 5:07Ant McPartlin?

  Is it a longer letter than the one I've just had?

• 5:09Declan Donnelly?

  It is longer. It's, it's worth the printout.

• 5:11Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, good.

• 5:12Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, I'm Deck. I'm Heckless Corner.

• 5:14Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, hey.

• 5:15Declan Donnelly?

  It will have been 12 years this month since I saw you guys live when you did Takeaway on tour in Liverpool.

• 5:20Ant McPartlin?

  Good for you.

• 5:21Declan Donnelly?

  You, you had some great, you had some great guests. Mel C and Peter Andre.

• 5:28Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah.

• 5:28Declan Donnelly?

  That was a good night.

• 5:29Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, good night.

• 5:30Declan Donnelly?

  I still have the firm fingers of Team Ant and Team Deck from the Ant vs Deck segment. That was fun. I was on the Team Ant side of the arena, but sadly Team Deck won. I think we won most of the time. Do you have any favourite moments from doing that tour?

• 5:43Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I really liked the tour, actually. It was, it was a load of fun. We had a lot, really good celebrities come along as guest announcers. Um, we had people doing sing-along live.

• 5:53Declan Donnelly?

  We played Win the Ads.

• 5:54Ant McPartlin?

  We played.

• 5:55Declan Donnelly?

  And gave away cars.

• 5:56Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, most nights we gave away cars.

• 5:58Declan Donnelly?

  Gave away Suzuki cars in the arena.

• 6:00Ant McPartlin?

  It was brilliant. And we did Ant vs Deck where we would get the whole of the arenas involved. And we had this one where they had these giant balls and they had to get the balls from the back of the arena to the front of the arena onstage. And whoever, if it was Team Ant or Team Deck, if we got a first and put it in the middle of the stage, then you win. So there's a lot of screaming and hollering. A bit like wrestling. It's pantomime. But we, we were competitive. I have to say, I was really fit at the end of that tour.

• 6:27Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I lost loads of weight.

• 6:28Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we used to run all the way, the length of the arena. We used to climb up a rope ladder.

• 6:32Declan Donnelly?

  That's right. Yeah.

• 6:33Ant McPartlin?

  Get to sort of run all the way back.

• 6:35Declan Donnelly?

  Matt goes on to ask, would you consider doing another tour, perhaps for this podcast?

• 6:40Ant McPartlin?

  Well, we were asked this on the, on the main pod last week and we said, yes, Matt. So.

• 6:45Declan Donnelly?

  Would you do a tour though? Because you said doing Wembley Stadium with Shania Twain. That's what you came up with.

• 6:50Ant McPartlin?

  You said, I think you said that.

• 6:51Declan Donnelly?

  I think I did. Would you do a tour? Would you go all around the country? The nations and regions?

• 6:55Ant McPartlin?

  You'd have to. You can't just do one venue. I think you do one venue to see if you like it, if we like it, if the audience like it. Dip your toe in. Tell a little tester, a little warm-up gig. Then you could take it on tour.

• 7:07Declan Donnelly?

  There you go. You heard it here first.

• 7:08Ant McPartlin?

  Would you not take it on tour?

• 7:09Declan Donnelly?

  No, absolutely not. I'll zoom in.

• 7:11Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, cool. No problem.

• 7:12Declan Donnelly?

  You can go around the country.

• 7:13Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, I'll stay. I'll stay in all the fancy hotels.

• 7:15Declan Donnelly?

  I'll be on a big screen.

• 7:15Ant McPartlin?

  And my budget will be twice as good because you're not there.

• 7:19Declan Donnelly?

  Of course I'm coming on tour.

• 7:20Ant McPartlin?

  I stayed in price as good hotels.

• 7:21Declan Donnelly?

  There's no way I'm missing out on that fun and games. That's from Matt in Liverpool. Thank you, Matt, and see you on tour.

• 7:27Ant McPartlin?

  We had Chesney Hawks come and be a guest on the tour, on Sing Along Live. And he sang, I am the one and only. Uh, and he did it very well. And we had people from the audience who had to get up and sing along live with him. Uh, anyways, lovely guy, Chesney, and we got on really well with him. And we said to Chesney, where, where, um, we're going to Las Vegas soon on a golf trip, us and the, us and the lads. And he went, oh, I'm only in, uh, LA, just up the road. And then another one of our friends went, might see you there then. And then that's the kind, that's the kind of thing you just say, isn't it?

• 8:04Declan Donnelly?

  You just say that, don't you?

• 8:05Ant McPartlin?

  Might see you there.

• 8:06Declan Donnelly?

  You never, ever think it's gonna happen. That, you never think that you're gonna bump into that person.

• 8:11Ant McPartlin?

  We didn't follow up with any phone calls. We didn't email. We didn't do anything. Then we get to Las Vegas on a golf trip to celebrate 10 years of golfing together as buddies.

• 8:22Declan Donnelly?

  With a lot of other mates.

• 8:24Ant McPartlin?

  With a lot of other mates.

• 8:25Declan Donnelly?

  About 15 of us, 16, 15, 16 of us.

• 8:28Ant McPartlin?

  And then round the corner comes Chesney Hawks. He drove all the way down from LA to see us. Yeah.

• 8:35Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. He's such a nice man.

• 8:37Ant McPartlin?

  He is a nice guy.

• 8:38Declan Donnelly?

  He's such a lovely man.

• 8:39Ant McPartlin?

  Can you believe it? Las Vegas. I can't tell you what happened in Vegas because what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas. And Chesney would prefer it that way. So.

• 8:49Declan Donnelly?

  And also nothing much happened. We played golf.

• 8:52Ant McPartlin?

  Don't tell them. Don't tell them. Don't tell them. Don't tell them.

• 8:54Declan Donnelly?

  It was a lot of fun. Good old Chesas.

• 8:57Ant McPartlin?

  All right, let's hope my next letter is a little bit longer than my first letter.

• 9:02Ant McPartlin?

  Why are you laughing, is it not?

• 9:03Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, it could be The Angry Beaver. That would be a good.

• 9:06Ant McPartlin?

  The Angry Beaver.

• 9:06Declan Donnelly?

  That would be a good wrestling name.

• 9:07Ant McPartlin?

  Put a sound effect on it. Get off me nuts. Get off me nuts. In a Canadian accent. Uh, hi, gang.

• 9:17Declan Donnelly?

  Hi.

• 9:18Speaker 01

  Hey.

• 9:19Declan Donnelly?

  Hey.

• 9:20Ant McPartlin?

  Let me set the scene.

• 9:21Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I like this.

• 9:23Ant McPartlin?

  Eurovision. Eurovision 2023. You love Eurovision, don't you, Dan?

• 9:28Declan Donnelly?

  No, I don't.

• 9:29Ant McPartlin?

  Lorraine, 2012's winner, is back and everyone is quite excited. You remember Lorraine? Her song is called Tattoo. It's good. But it's not as good as a winning 2012 song, Euphoria. There's only one person who's ever won Eurovision more than once, Johnny Logan.

• 9:45Declan Donnelly?

  I remember that. Every loser wins.

• 9:48Ant McPartlin?

  So I stated to my Eurovision watch party, if Lorraine wins with the song Tattoo, I'll get a tattoo of the word tattoo.

• 9:55Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that's good.

• 9:57Ant McPartlin?

  She won.

• 10:00Ant McPartlin?

  And here it is.

• 10:01Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my. I mean, I thought it would be smaller than that.

• 10:06Ant McPartlin?

  Where? Show us.

• 10:08Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god.

• 10:11Declan Donnelly?

  Is that on the thigh?

• 10:12Ant McPartlin?

  That's across the top of the thigh?

• 10:13Declan Donnelly?

  That is a huge tattooed thigh.

• 10:16Ant McPartlin?

  If you can't see it, it's like big, bold italics and it's proper black.

• 10:21Declan Donnelly?

  And it just says the word tattoo across the thigh. Wow, that is, you know, because you were getting, you could just go, I'll just get a little one.

• 10:31Ant McPartlin?

  He says, I do like it though. I've got no regrets really. All the best, Mitch. That's very good though. I'm glad you stuck to your word, a bit like me on this podcast. I said it that I would get a tattoo to celebrate six months of the pod. And you chose it. I got it tattooed and it'll be there for the rest of my life.

• 10:51Declan Donnelly?

  With my little D.

• 10:52Ant McPartlin?

  With Dex's little D in the corner, just slightly ruining it.

• 10:56Declan Donnelly?

  That is a really good tattoo though. To get a tattoo that just says tattoo is a really good tattoo.

• 11:01Ant McPartlin?

  Good.

• 11:02Declan Donnelly?

  That is brilliant. Well done.

• 11:03Ant McPartlin?

  And any more bets like that, let us know. He said, if this happens, I'll do this. If she wins, I'll do this. And you had to follow through with it and do it. That's a very good theme. So get in touch, hangingoutbellbox.com.

• 11:14Declan Donnelly?

  Love that.

• 11:15Ant McPartlin?

  I'd like to hear more.

• 11:16Declan Donnelly?

  I've got another email par avion.

• 11:20Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 11:21Declan Donnelly?

  That's what it says on the stamp, doesn't it? It says email, email.

• 11:26Declan Donnelly?

  Par avion.

• 11:27Ant McPartlin?

  Does it?

• 11:28Declan Donnelly?

  I think so. It used to. I think it used to, didn't it? Didn't it? Hiya, boys. I will always remember showing this to you both on Extra Cam. It was a spur of the moment decision that I thought might fill some time on the show, make everybody laugh. Turns out, turns out nobody really laughed at the most popular reaction was, are you okay? Always lovely to see you guys. Love the podcast. Please don't say anything that gets you cancelled because I'll have to get those tattoos removed. Maybe it's time for Ant to get Joel and Deck to get Domit on the back of your legs. That's lots of love from Joel Domit.

• 12:00Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, hi Joel.

• 12:01Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that is lovely. I remember this. Do you remember Joel's tattoos that he showed us on Extra Cam?

• 12:07Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, pass it.

• 12:08Declan Donnelly?

  Please say we've got a picture.

• 12:09Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, because we didn't get to see, there it is, look, on the back of his legs.

• 12:13Declan Donnelly?

  Got Ant and Deck tattooed on the backs of his legs and he even got the Ant slightly higher than the Deck. Which I think is a fantastic attention to detail.

• 12:22Ant McPartlin?

  It is. Well done, Joel.

• 12:23Declan Donnelly?

  That is brilliant. I love it. I love Joel Domit.

• 12:27Ant McPartlin?

  Deck will get Joel Domit on his legs.

• 12:30Declan Donnelly?

  I will.

• 12:32Ant McPartlin?

  There is a tattoo shop near our hotel.

• 12:33Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, that's nice.

• 12:35Ant McPartlin?

  You should get a beaver.

• 12:37Declan Donnelly?

  Where would I get the beaver though?

• 12:40Ant McPartlin?

  Don't answer that. Don't answer that, where he'll bloody be at.

• 12:45Ant McPartlin?

  A beaver, a maple leaf is a good tattoo.

• 12:47Declan Donnelly?

  That is a good tattoo.

• 12:48Ant McPartlin?

  Just say, I might get that. Get a little maple leaf. It's quite a good one.

• 12:51Speaker 05

  By the way, Joel actually emailed that himself.

• 12:53Declan Donnelly?

  Did he?

• 12:54Ant McPartlin?

  Joel did. You didn't ask him to do anything. He just did it off his own back. Thanks, Joel. We like Joel.

• 12:59Declan Donnelly?

  He's the loveliest, loveliest man.

• 13:01Ant McPartlin?

  And he's not coming out of Australia.

• 13:03Declan Donnelly?

  No, he's not.

• 13:04Ant McPartlin?

  We'll miss you, Joel.

• 13:05Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 13:06Ant McPartlin?

  He's a, he's a good man.

• 13:07Declan Donnelly?

  Any other celebrities that are out there and listening to the podcast, if they want to send us pictures of their body parts, is that what we're looking for? Uh, or if any, um, any celebrities.

• 13:16Ant McPartlin?

  I see all of your legs. So send us pictures of your legs.

• 13:19Declan Donnelly?

  Any celebrities want to get in touch, we'll gladly read out your message.

• 13:22Ant McPartlin?

  Hasn't he got hairy legs, Joel?

• 13:23Declan Donnelly?

  Very hairy. I did think that.

• 13:25Ant McPartlin?

  Look, they're hairy all the way to the bottom. Do you know what I mean? Like normally with a hairy leg, I've got a hairy legs, but mine, are mine as hairy as?

• 13:34Declan Donnelly?

  Do you think it carries on and he has hairy feet?

• 13:36Ant McPartlin?

  Mind you.

• 13:36Declan Donnelly?

  Like a.

• 13:38Ant McPartlin?

  Look, look, mine are quite hairy, right? But his look, bristly.

• 13:43Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm.

• 13:43Ant McPartlin?

  Mine are soft. My hairs are soft to touch. I reckon, I reckon he.

• 13:48Declan Donnelly?

  His is almost like a werewolf's legs.

• 13:49Ant McPartlin?

  It's like Brillo Pad, isn't it? They would hurt. Imagine him straddling you there. They'd hurt.

• 13:55Declan Donnelly?

  What? That's, I took a turn I wasn't expecting.

• 13:59Ant McPartlin?

  Not sexually, just like wrestling.

• 14:02Declan Donnelly?

  Play fighting.

• 14:04Ant McPartlin?

  You know what used to play fight with us in Australia? It used to really hurt now and all right.

• 14:11Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you, Joel.

• 14:12Ant McPartlin?

  Thanks, Joel.

• 14:12Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I love seeing them again. It was, I remember him showing them on the studio floor though, and everybody was a bit like, that's a bit weird.

• 14:23Ant McPartlin?

  This next bit is brought to you by Gemini, Google's AI app. So, question for you.

• 14:29Declan Donnelly?

  Go on.

• 14:29Ant McPartlin?

  Did you do a full body workout today?

• 14:31Declan Donnelly?

  No, I did not.

• 14:31Ant McPartlin?

  Do you want me to do a workout plan with Google Gemini?

• 14:35Declan Donnelly?

  That's a great idea.

• 14:36Ant McPartlin?

  And there's also a function on here where you can, um, film yourself doing a workout and it'll tell you about your form.

• 14:43Declan Donnelly?

  So you thought you're doing it the right way?

• 14:45Ant McPartlin?

  Do you want to try it?

• 14:46Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, let's do it.

• 14:47Ant McPartlin?

  Right, go on, hover the table then.

• 14:50Declan Donnelly?

  Right, let's see how the form is.

• 14:52Ant McPartlin?

  So, Joe and I, can you be brutally honest about the form of these pushups, please? Thank you.

• 15:00Speaker 06

  As you asked, here is my brutally honest opinion on the form of those pushups. I noticed that you kept your body in a nice straight line from your head to your heels, which is an excellent foundation. You also positioned your hands well and lowered your chest nicely, showing good control. Overall, it was a solid display of form.

• 15:19Ant McPartlin?

  Really? That's handy though, isn't it? Like if you're working out at home.

• 15:23Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 15:24Ant McPartlin?

  And.

• 15:24Declan Donnelly?

  Just on your own.

• 15:25Ant McPartlin?

  Just on your own. You've got no idea whether you're doing it right, you're doing it wrong, using that.

• 15:30Declan Donnelly?

  Ah, this just looks like a meaty one. It's more like it. Well done. Hi, Ant and Deck.

• 16:07Declan Donnelly?

  Hi.

• 16:08Ant McPartlin?

  In an early episode of the pod, Deck mentions his past training in Irish dancing. I think he should revive these skills for the 12 month podcast anniversary. Yes, with an Irish dancing showcase at the hangout. Just like Ant's tattoo will be on his body forever. I'm sure the memory of it will be burnt into his brain for the rest of time. Lots of love to you both. The pod is brilliant and brings back great student memories of hungover SMTV live days. It's a bit like us. Respect, guys. Hannah.

• 16:38Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks, Hannah.

• 16:39Ant McPartlin?

  What were we saying?

• 16:40Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I can, I did it. I did it. Before we did it on telly, we did it on takeaway. Remember we did it at the show show where we did some Irish dancing?

• 16:46Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 16:47Declan Donnelly?

  So that's there for all to see.

• 16:49Ant McPartlin?

  But I've, I'd had previous tattoos and I got another tattoo to celebrate the podcast.

• 16:55Declan Donnelly?

  So you want me to dance again?

• 16:56Ant McPartlin?

  On your own.

• 16:57Declan Donnelly?

  For your pleasure.

• 16:58Ant McPartlin?

  Solo, in the spotlight.

• 17:00Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 17:00Ant McPartlin?

  Do you want to get, do you want lessons from Michael Flatley in the lead up to it? I could arrange that.

• 17:04Declan Donnelly?

  Can't you?

• 17:06Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 17:06Declan Donnelly?

  I don't need lessons from Michael Flatley. I can just get lessons from an Irish dancing teacher. Doesn't need to be the top guy.

• 17:12Ant McPartlin?

  It'd be good though. Be good.

• 17:15Declan Donnelly?

  Let's look into it.

• 17:17Ant McPartlin?

  No, that's such a fob off. Let's look into it. Isn't it? Oh, what a fob. He's fobbing us. I, I've known him for a long time, you guys. That's a fob off. So when he says let's look into it, it means I'm never going to do that. Okay. If you want to do that, which clearly you don't, uh, I've got another one here. Hi, Ant Deck, Hackers Corner.

• 17:35Declan Donnelly?

  Hey.

• 17:36Ant McPartlin?

  You've been talking about ideas for how to celebrate your one year anniversary on Hanging Out.

• 17:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 17:40Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, we have. What about if Deck goes and gets a wax or better yet, he gets a wax live on the pod? I know that he struggles to grow hair.

• 17:56Ant McPartlin?

  It's true. You're very, you're, you're so correct here. So I'm not sure what the situation below the chin is. But considering that I've got a tattoo which is slightly painful, I think it should be tit for tat. You're going to wax your tits? Respect, guys. Megs from Australia. First of all, thank you for watching all the way down under in Australia. And secondly, that is an excellent idea.

• 18:21Declan Donnelly?

  For suggesting me getting waxed down under.

• 18:23Ant McPartlin?

  Are you going to look into it?

• 18:24Declan Donnelly?

  Let's look into it.

• 18:24Ant McPartlin?

  Shut up.

• 18:26Declan Donnelly?

  Why, why would you do that?

• 18:27Ant McPartlin?

  Very hairy, are you?

• 18:28Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not very hairy.

• 18:29Ant McPartlin?

  Wouldn't be a great waxing.

• 18:30Declan Donnelly?

  Wouldn't be like Joel Domit getting his legs waxed.

• 18:32Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, can't imagine that.

• 18:34Declan Donnelly?

  Imagine.

• 18:35Ant McPartlin?

  Joel, if you want to come in and get waxed live on the pod to celebrate our one year anniversary.

• 18:38Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 18:39Ant McPartlin?

  Just get Joel.

• 18:41Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 18:42Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, come on, Joel.

• 18:42Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, you do it, Joel. I'll look into it and you can do it.

• 18:46Ant McPartlin?

  Why don't we do like a number of different things to celebrate, uh, being on air for a year? So Joel could come in, we'll wax his legs.

• 18:54Declan Donnelly?

  I'll do an Irish dance while he gets waxed.

• 18:56Ant McPartlin?

  Do an Irish, Irish.

• 18:59Declan Donnelly?

  I'll dance an Irish jig while Joel gets waxed.

• 19:04Declan Donnelly?

  What has this been coming?

• 19:07Ant McPartlin?

  Do you know what I'm trying to do? You're like, you know, like little kids showing off to their parents that, shut up. Shut up, come on, you're like Deck, there's Irish dancing in the corner. Guys, look at me, guys. Guys, look, look at me. Yes, please. And we'll just get a couple of other things. I'll do something. Not get another tattoo. I'll do something. I don't know.

• 19:26Declan Donnelly?

  In the other corner.

• 19:27Ant McPartlin?

  Play the piano or something.

• 19:29Declan Donnelly?

  Like an old installation.

• 19:35Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that is funny.

• 19:36Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, God.

• 19:37Ant McPartlin?

  Keep your suggestions coming in on what we should do to celebrate a year of the pod. That is very funny.

• 19:43Declan Donnelly?

  Hey, guys.

• 19:44Ant McPartlin?

  Hey.

• 19:44Declan Donnelly?

  From Christabel in Salisbury.

• 19:46Ant McPartlin?

  Christabel?

• 19:47Declan Donnelly?

  Christabel, not Christaberg. Although Christaberg is listening and wants to come and get waxed.

• 19:53Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, he could, he could play.

• 19:57Ant McPartlin?

  Lady in red, as you dance to it and Joel Domit gets waxed to it.

• 20:02Declan Donnelly?

  Amazing. Anyway, this is Christabel, not Christaberg.

• 20:04Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, shame.

• 20:05Declan Donnelly?

  Hey, guys.

• 20:06Ant McPartlin?

  Hey, Christabel.

• 20:07Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks to Deck, I can only ever read or hear YouTube in a Welsh accent.

• 20:12Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah.

• 20:13Declan Donnelly?

  YouTube.

• 20:13Ant McPartlin?

  YouTube.

• 20:15Declan Donnelly?

  If you could have any other person's voice, living or dead, who would it be? What a strange question.

• 20:21Ant McPartlin?

  What a strange.

• 20:22Declan Donnelly?

  Christabel.

• 20:23Ant McPartlin?

  I would like Vincent Price's.

• 20:25Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, like thriller.

• 20:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you know the guy who speaks on thriller.

• 20:29Declan Donnelly?

  Darkness falls across the land. The midnight hour is close at hand.

• 20:34Ant McPartlin?

  It was.

• 20:35Declan Donnelly?

  Creatures crawl in sight of blood.

• 20:38Ant McPartlin?

  To terrorise your neighbourhood.

• 20:41Declan Donnelly?

  And whosoever shall be found.

• 20:45Ant McPartlin?

  Always goes on a bit longer than you want, doesn't he? Oh, a little bit longer than you want.

• 20:50Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know the rest of it.

• 20:51Ant McPartlin?

  Are you?

• 20:53Declan Donnelly?

  I'd like to have the voice of the guy who does the movie trailers.

• 20:57Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah.

• 20:58Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, is it Red Pepper?

• 21:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it was a guy called Red Pepper. Yeah, he's very famous, wasn't he?

• 21:02Declan Donnelly?

  He was like, coming soon.

• 21:04Ant McPartlin?

  Coming soon to a theatre.

• 21:06Speaker 07

  Near you, the blockbuster hit of the summer.

• 21:11Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 21:11Speaker 07

  Was that it?

• 21:12Ant McPartlin?

  That's not it.

• 21:12Speaker 07

  No, the blockbuster hit of the summer.

• 21:17Speaker 07

  This summer is big blockbuster hit.

• 21:19Ant McPartlin?

  It's a bit, all of it night crawler-y for me when you do it. Yeah, I'm not sure.

• 21:24Speaker 07

  Once upon a time.

• 21:25Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, welcome to the hangout.

• 21:30Speaker 07

  Welcome to the hangout.

• 21:32Ant McPartlin?

  Nah, nah, it doesn't work.

• 21:34Speaker 07

  Doesn't it, do you?

• 21:35Declan Donnelly?

  It would be good to have those voices as well because we could record trailers for the pod uh in those voices.

• 21:41Ant McPartlin?

  Coming soon on Hanging Out.

• 21:45Ant McPartlin?

  That was my Vincent Price.

• 21:46Declan Donnelly?

  Was it?

• 21:47Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I can't do it.

• 21:48Declan Donnelly?

  I thought it was Kenneth Williams.

• 21:51Declan Donnelly?

  No, stop it.

• 21:52Ant McPartlin?

  Stop it.

• 21:53Speaker 07

  Coming soon on Hanging Out. This summer, the blockbuster hit.

• 22:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, well, Fiona, I like that. That's all I'm doing this summer though.

• 22:04Speaker 07

  This summer.

• 22:08Speaker 07

  This autumn.

• 22:10Ant McPartlin?

  It's not as good.

• 22:11Speaker 07

  This winter on Hanging Out.

• 22:17Ant McPartlin?

  Huh?

• 22:18Declan Donnelly?

  Quite aggressive.

• 22:19Ant McPartlin?

  She didn't like that.

• 22:20Declan Donnelly?

  Quite aggressive.

• 22:21Speaker 07

  I'll look into it.

• 22:27Declan Donnelly?

  Very nice. Have you got another one?

• 22:29Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, no, I don't, unless there's any on the iPad.

• 22:32Declan Donnelly?

  Is that everything? Is that always, is that all it?

• 22:34Ant McPartlin?

  Is that the episode?

• 22:35Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I was enjoying that.

• 22:36Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I feel shortchanged, don't know about you.

• 22:40Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I'll ask you a question. Well, I know we haven't been here long, but what are you loving about Canada?

• 22:47Declan Donnelly?

  I would say I am loving the people. Uh, they're lovely, the vistas, the views, the mountains are incredible.

• 22:56Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, they are.

• 22:58Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, well, what, the vistas?

• 23:00Ant McPartlin?

  No, I'm laughing because Dex is, the views are incredible, but if you could see the view from his hotel room window, it is literally a tree like that. You can't see anything, can you?

• 23:11Declan Donnelly?

  We all got to our hotel rooms the other day, you know, you get on the, on the um messages. And it goes, my room's amazing, look at my view, look at my vistas. I will, I'll, I'll, let's put up the video I took of my view to send to everybody. I was a little underwhelmed. I've been so excited to come to Canada.

• 23:25Ant McPartlin?

  You're a bit too close to the trees, aren't you?

• 23:27Declan Donnelly?

  I'm a bit too close to the trees.

• 23:28Ant McPartlin?

  You can't see the wood for the trees, literally.

• 23:31Declan Donnelly?

  I was so excited about coming to Canada and seeing all the views. I will share with you at the end of the pod, the view from my hotel room window.

• 23:39Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, God, it's very funny.

• 23:41Declan Donnelly?

  I'm right in amongst them.

• 23:42Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I agree. I think the people, how friendly they are, uh, the food's been great, where we're staying's great. This area is just beautiful. The wildlife.

• 23:53Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 23:53Ant McPartlin?

  We've seen a bear, as we said, we saw chipmunks. Did we mention the chipmunks?

• 23:57Declan Donnelly?

  We haven't talked about the chipmunks.

• 23:58Ant McPartlin?

  They're, I've got a little video of a chipmunk and they're tiny on there.

• 24:01Declan Donnelly?

  They're like squirrels, but cuter.

• 24:03Ant McPartlin?

  Smaller than a squirrel.

• 24:04Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 24:04Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, and they're quite, like, it is very jerky, but very cute. Uh, so the wildlife and I'm hoping to see more wildlife, different birds and stuff as we, as we go on.

• 24:14Declan Donnelly?

  And also, the show is going really well.

• 24:16Ant McPartlin?

  Very well.

• 24:16Declan Donnelly?

  It's gonna be great. Uh, we've had a brilliant first week, so um we'll fill you in more on that on the main show coming on Thursday.

• 24:24Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we will. That's it.

• 24:25Declan Donnelly?

  That's all we've got time for today.

• 24:26Ant McPartlin?

  We'll do more of that next, next bonus app. I liked it a lot.
