Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC dot com.

1:29 Declan Donnelly? Coming up on today's show, Ant makes a swap, but this one's going straight to Simon Cowell.
1:34 Ant McPartlin? I love it, and I think it would be perfect for him. Imagine that outside his house in Malibu. Debt really needs to impress his wife.
1:42 Speaker 04 I need to impress my wife, okay? I want to impress my wife.
1:46 Declan Donnelly? Security massively underestimates the power of P G and Duncan in my diary. He was a converted, AKA lover.
1:56 Ant McPartlin? We come up with a plan to get our own back on Jamie Oliver. He'll be crying, and we'll post it on the internet. And we speak to our future selves. Enjoy the show.
2:11 Declan Donnelly? Hello everybody!
2:12 Ant McPartlin? Hello everybody! Oh, forgot my drink.
2:16 Declan Donnelly? He's forgotten his drink. He moans that he hasn't got a drink. And then when he gets a drink, he doesn't bring it in.
2:20 Ant McPartlin? Oh, shut up!
2:21 Declan Donnelly? It's got a head like a sieve.
2:22 Ant McPartlin? Shut up!
2:24 Declan Donnelly? Good morning, good evening, and welcome back to the Hangout for another...
2:26 Ant McPartlin? And shut up!
2:28 Declan Donnelly? With me and him. You don't even put your lights on anymore.
2:31 Ant McPartlin? No, who cares?
2:32 Declan Donnelly? You've really, really, really let standards slip round here.
2:37 Ant McPartlin? Respect, guys.
2:39 Declan Donnelly? Welcome back to the Hangout if you're just listening. How's that?
2:44 Ant McPartlin? What?
2:44 Declan Donnelly? I've got a cricket jumper on.
2:46 Ant McPartlin? Well, I haven't.
2:46 Declan Donnelly? How's that?
2:47 Ant McPartlin? It's not a cricket jumper, actually.
2:48 Declan Donnelly? Well, it is a cricket jumper, isn't it?
2:50 Ant McPartlin? It looks like a cricket jumper, yeah.
2:52 Declan Donnelly? If it looks like a cricket jumper and talks like a cricket jumper, it's probably a cricket jumper. But you've not been playing cricket in it.
2:58 Ant McPartlin? I haven't. I don't play cricket.
2:59 Declan Donnelly? You look like you could be...
3:00 Ant McPartlin? I've never played cricket.
3:01 Declan Donnelly? Never, ever?
3:02 Ant McPartlin? We never played in our school.
3:03 Declan Donnelly? Did you not?
3:04 Ant McPartlin? No. Didn't go to a posh school like you.
3:08 Declan Donnelly? We played at my school.
3:09 Ant McPartlin? I'm like, oh, bog standard comprehensive where we didn't even go to sports.
3:15 Ant McPartlin? No, we did. We played football. And I think they done rugby for a little bit until people got sick of that. Not many people done many things in my school.
3:21 Declan Donnelly? No, did they not?
3:22 Ant McPartlin? Nah, not really.
3:22 Declan Donnelly? Did many people go to the school?
3:24 Ant McPartlin? Not really. No, no, if we could help it. No, no. One of my friends turned up to my school in blue fishing waders, right? Because his uniform was being washed. And they said, "You're allowed in if you wear a tie." So he wore a tie. I swear, I'm not joking. This did happen.
3:45 Declan Donnelly? He wore a tie and fishing waders?
3:46 Ant McPartlin? And fishing waders, yeah. Like, you know the three-quarter things, yeah? I don't know, can you believe it?
3:52 Declan Donnelly? And he was gonna wear... No, I can't. And he was gonna wear those for the whole day?
3:55 Ant McPartlin? Oh, he wore them for the whole day, yeah. No, they didn't send him home.
4:00 Ant McPartlin? I think he said...
4:01 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I'm joking.
4:02 Ant McPartlin? I think he was hoping they would send him home, but they didn't.
4:08 Ant McPartlin? I think on the way to school, he was like, they'll send us home anyway, so I don't care. And they didn't. So he was furious because he had to sit in patient waiters for the rest of the day.
4:19 Ant McPartlin? I mean, how's things?
4:20 Declan Donnelly? All right, not bad. You look like you could be in Rivals.
4:23 Ant McPartlin? Oh, what is your problem?
4:24 Declan Donnelly? I like, no, I like it.
4:25 Ant McPartlin? What can I say? Just because I'm cool?
4:28 Declan Donnelly? It's a cricket, if you're just listening, it's a cricket tank top and he's got a little blue t-shirt underneath. It does look like something out of Rivals.
4:35 Ant McPartlin? That's not bad.
4:36 Declan Donnelly? From, you know, the TV show.
4:37 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, yeah.
4:38 Declan Donnelly? In the 80s.
4:39 Ant McPartlin? I got it. I got it when you said it.
4:41 Declan Donnelly? Right. Very nice, preppy, preppy.
4:43 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, thanks.
4:43 Declan Donnelly? It's good. If you were in Rivals though, you'd have no trousers on probably playing tennis.
4:47 Ant McPartlin? How do you know I've got trousers on? Hold on.
4:51 Ant McPartlin? Is that better?
4:51 Declan Donnelly? Oh my God.
4:54 Ant McPartlin? How's that?
4:58 Ant McPartlin? Two cricket balls and a cricket bat? I've said so much.
5:02 Declan Donnelly? Um, welcome back to the hangout to Heckler's Corner.
5:06 Ant McPartlin? Hello, Heckler's Corner.
5:07 Declan Donnelly? There's, we've got a new member. There's a man in there.
5:09 Ant McPartlin? Hello, man.
5:11 Speaker 04 Hello.
5:11 Declan Donnelly? Talking man.
5:12 Speaker 04 No Lola this week.
5:14 Declan Donnelly? No Lola, where is she?
5:15 Speaker 04 Where's Lola?
5:16 Speaker 05 She's gone hiking.
5:19 Ant McPartlin? Hiking?
5:19 Speaker 05 Yeah.
5:20 Declan Donnelly? You just made up, she went, she's gone hiking?
5:24 Speaker 05 Everest.
5:27 Declan Donnelly? I think they're playing.
5:28 Ant McPartlin? Good luck, Jack.
5:28 Speaker 04 Thanks.
5:29 Ant McPartlin? Good luck sitting with them two.
5:30 Speaker 04 Big shoes to fill. Not literally.
5:33 Declan Donnelly? No.
5:33 Ant McPartlin? No, very small shoes to fill.
5:35 Declan Donnelly? She's only a size four.
5:36 Ant McPartlin? Size five and hiking boots.
5:40 Declan Donnelly? Um, what have you been up to?
5:41 Ant McPartlin? Uh, what have I been up to? Not a lot. Everyone's been ill.
5:44 Declan Donnelly? You had a bit of a grotty weekend?
5:45 Ant McPartlin? Everyone's been ill in my household, so yeah, not, not a lot. The little ones been ill. Uh, Poppy was ill. Yeah, there's a lot of illness.
5:53 Declan Donnelly? It's not boring, is it?
5:55 Ant McPartlin? Oh, it's just, it's tough, isn't it? It's tough. I mean, it's tough. And you feel for them, the kids when they're ill. Yourself?
6:01 Declan Donnelly? Uh, ill house.
6:03 Ant McPartlin? Really?
6:03 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, yeah, Jack's been ill, but um, I shot off to the Toon.
6:07 Ant McPartlin? Oh yeah, how was the Toon?
6:08 Declan Donnelly? It was great. It was very nice. Actually, we had pretty good weather up there.
6:11 Ant McPartlin? Did you?
6:12 Declan Donnelly? But I went back and met my great niece.
6:14 Ant McPartlin? Ah.
6:16 Declan Donnelly? And she was lovely and pretty and beautiful. She's gorgeous.
6:19 Ant McPartlin? Oh.
6:20 Declan Donnelly? Uh, very cute. She was born just before the final of Britain's Got Talent, so I think she recognised me.
6:24 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I think it was. Does it make you broody? Does it make you feel like you want another child?
6:28 Declan Donnelly? I'd have more.
6:29 Ant McPartlin? More twins?
6:32 Ant McPartlin? More twins, yeah?
6:33 Declan Donnelly? I'm not having twins, guys.
6:35 Ant McPartlin? I keep reading about it.
6:36 Declan Donnelly? It's AI slop.
6:37 Ant McPartlin? Would you have more kids?
6:38 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, definitely.
6:39 Ant McPartlin? I'd have lots more kids.
6:40 Declan Donnelly? Oh, yeah.
6:41 Ant McPartlin? I mean, I'm too tired, but I would have more kids.
6:44 Declan Donnelly? It's hard work, but, oh, yeah, it's lovely, though.
6:47 Ant McPartlin? It's the best.
6:47 Declan Donnelly? And they're good ages at the minute, aren't they?
6:49 Ant McPartlin? They are, yeah.
6:50 Declan Donnelly? Really fun.
6:51 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I've got really good, fun, all the ones and two-year-olds who's, uh, he's funny.
6:57 Declan Donnelly? He's, uh, he's at that age now, too, that he's really developing a personality.
7:00 Ant McPartlin? Oh, God, he's, he's just the cheekiest thing. Like, he even, like, hides things from you, calls you the wrong name just because he knows he'll get a reaction and he laughs and runs away and, yeah.
7:10 Declan Donnelly? What does he call you, Deck?
7:12 Ant McPartlin? He calls me mummy, actually.
7:14 Declan Donnelly? All right.
7:16 Declan Donnelly? Does he, "Excuse me, I'm Deck"?
7:18 Ant McPartlin? Do you remember when, last time you saw him and, uh, he always give you the evil eye?
7:23 Declan Donnelly? Always gives me the side eye.
7:25 Ant McPartlin? Well, then, the day that after you left, oh, he just kept going with Deck?
7:28 Declan Donnelly? Oh. He loves me, really.
7:31 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
7:32 Speaker 05 Does he still scream Dave?
7:34 Ant McPartlin? He doesn't scream Dave anymore.
7:35 Declan Donnelly? Oh.
7:35 Ant McPartlin? That's a shame.
7:36 Declan Donnelly? I love that phase.
7:37 Ant McPartlin? I, I like that, that phase as well. It was good, the Dave phase.
7:40 Declan Donnelly? Such a cute phase, the Dave phase. All the kids go through it.
7:46 Declan Donnelly? Right, um, let's get on with this then. We brought, you brought in your Simon Cowell photo.
7:53 Ant McPartlin? Yes, I did.
7:54 Declan Donnelly? For a swap.
7:55 Ant McPartlin? Yes, I did.
7:55 Declan Donnelly? We got one each, so you wanna swap your one?
7:59 Ant McPartlin? Yes, I do. I don't want that.
7:59 Declan Donnelly? Here he is. We have had.
8:01 Ant McPartlin? That's AI. That is AI.
8:03 Declan Donnelly? We have had some swaps in.
8:04 Ant McPartlin? I've had a thought. I have had a thought. Before I even hear the swaps, I should commit to whatever I swap it for, I just send on to Simon Cowell.
8:15 Declan Donnelly? I just send straight to him?
8:16 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. So I'm not swapping for me, I'm swapping for Simon.
8:19 Declan Donnelly? Okay.
8:20 Ant McPartlin? He doesn't know about it, Simon, obviously, but I'll pick him something good.
8:24 Declan Donnelly? What a great idea.
8:24 Ant McPartlin? So famous guy swaps things for famous guy. Can we call it that now?
8:28 Declan Donnelly? No.
8:29 Ant McPartlin? Famous guy swaps things for famous guy.
8:31 Declan Donnelly? We've got a jingle.
8:32 Speaker 05 We have got a jingle, so we'll need to amend it, but do you wanna have a listen anyway?
8:35 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, play it.
8:35 Declan Donnelly? Play the jingle!
8:49 Ant McPartlin? For another famous guy.
8:53 Ant McPartlin? For another famous guy.
9:00 Declan Donnelly? Oh my god, this is brilliant. This is brilliant. We should just keep this as a bed all the way through.
9:07 Declan Donnelly? Who was that?
9:08 Speaker 05 That's from Rebecca Clark.
9:10 Declan Donnelly? Rebecca Clark.
9:11 Ant McPartlin? So this is the picture that Simon Cowell signed for us as a thank you for the work we did.
9:17 Declan Donnelly? Months of hard work.
9:18 Ant McPartlin? Months of hard work on Britain's Got Talent. It looks like Simon Cowell's, like Simon Cowell's doing an impression of George Clooney with the guy from Friday Night Lights.
9:29 Declan Donnelly? It's very matinee idol dreamy shot.
9:32 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it is. He did a TikTok of himself laughing whilst he was filling these out for us.
9:39 Declan Donnelly? Yeah. And then we got them, we got one each for our present for BGT.
9:43 Ant McPartlin? And still nothing from KSI, just saying, nothing.
9:48 Declan Donnelly? Before we get into the swaps.
9:49 Ant McPartlin? Here's your man for being boring.
9:50 Declan Donnelly? With the Ts and Cs.
9:51 Speaker 05 We're inviting one listener to take part in a swap with, and this isn't a competition or a prize draw, if selected will be in touch to arrange a swap. You'll need to be over 18, able to confirm your details if a collection of drop off and ready to complete the swap promptly. By putting yourself forward, you're confirming your item is yours to swap and that you have full permission to do so.
10:06 Declan Donnelly? Lovely job.
10:07 Ant McPartlin? Thank you very much. Well done with the boring bits.
10:08 Declan Donnelly? Okay. Dear Ant and Dec, in exchange for your signed headshot of Simon Cowell, I'm willing to offer my brand new unused doormat, which reads, a silly goose lives here.
10:19 Ant McPartlin? That's good.
10:20 Declan Donnelly? And I think this could be particularly useful for moments when you are tempted to swear.
10:24 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
10:25 Declan Donnelly? For context, says Molly, I have a bit of a guilty pleasure crush on Simon Cowell. My friends think I'm crazy because I'm 29 years old.
10:33 Ant McPartlin? You are crazy.
10:33 Declan Donnelly? Although the crush began in my teens and Simon is.
10:36 Ant McPartlin? That's even worse.
10:36 Declan Donnelly? Well, Simon's age. But what can I say? I think it's the power, the ability to press a red buzzer and crush dreams or to make them all come true. Or maybe it's just the money.
10:48 Ant McPartlin? It's the money, innit?
10:49 Declan Donnelly? Molly is getting married in August and would love a signed Simon headshot to keep. It will take pride of place on our memory table amongst our family photos, which I think is exactly what Simon would have wanted.
11:02 Ant McPartlin? Memory table.
11:04 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, so that's Molly's swap. What do you think of the silly goose that lives here?
11:09 Ant McPartlin? I love it and I think it would be perfect for him. Because remember, I'm swapping this for Simon.
11:14 Declan Donnelly? That's true.
11:15 Ant McPartlin? So this is gonna, she'd like that even more if this went all the way in. Was outside his house in Malibu. Imagine that, imagine that outside his house in Malibu, a silly goose lives here. Yes, put it on the shortlist.
11:26 Declan Donnelly? Okay.
11:26 Ant McPartlin? Next.
11:27 Declan Donnelly? It's on the shortlist. Hello lovely team.
11:30 Speaker 05 Hi.
11:31 Declan Donnelly? I would love to offer a selection of comics from 1979 and 1982. As a 29 year old woman, I was struggling for ideas of things I could swap. But I excitedly asked around my friends and family and my dad dug out these for me from when he was a kid. We looked for ones from 1975 but couldn't get that close. They are really cool and as Beano boys, I think Anna Deck will appreciate. Wasn't sure which comics would be best, so we went with Roy of the Rovers, 2000 AD, which cost only 12p of earth money in 1979, and Battle Action, very interesting for some historical analysis. Will you swap with me please? All the best from Meg.
12:09 Ant McPartlin? Thanks Meg, no I won't.
12:10 Declan Donnelly? Oh, I like these.
12:11 Ant McPartlin? Do you? No way.
12:13 Declan Donnelly? Oh, Roy of the Rovers.
12:14 Ant McPartlin? No, no, boring.
12:15 Declan Donnelly? Oh, you're ki-, I was really hoping you were gonna go this.
12:18 Ant McPartlin? No, thank you.
12:19 Declan Donnelly? Alison Sunny Sunny Bournemouth says, I'd like to swap my unsigned Simon Cowell mug for your signed photo of Simon. As you can tell, I really love Simon Cowell and would really like this picture. I also have your best interest at heart because I don't want you to miss seeing Simon's face in the same picture, so you can have the mug and still see him in the morning when you're having your coffee. Love and respect guys, from Alice.
12:43 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I'm, I heard you and I'm looking at the picture on the screen and I can see the mug of Simon Cowell in it in a heart shape. What's the other picture of?
12:52 Declan Donnelly? That's her, that's Alison Sunny Sunny Bournemouth.
12:54 Ant McPartlin? So she's on one side and Simon's on the other side?
12:56 Declan Donnelly? Win, win.
12:56 Ant McPartlin? Has she got a top on?
12:58 Declan Donnelly? No.
13:00 Ant McPartlin? She's, he's topless and she's topless.
13:02 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
13:03 Ant McPartlin? I'm in.
13:06 Declan Donnelly? It's one of those ones when you put the hot water in as well, the heart disappears and you see everything.
13:10 Ant McPartlin? And you see it all.
13:11 Declan Donnelly? You see everything.
13:12 Ant McPartlin? I'm in. I'd like to see what else is coming. I can't make a comment on this right now. I feel under pressure. Stop pressuring me.
13:19 Declan Donnelly? All right. I don't know what to do with that. This one is from Ross McCray. I live in South Asia in Scotland and I have something to swap for the Simon Cowell sign photo. I am a magician. And I would like to teach you both some close up magic over Zoom to impress your kids and your wives. My brother, Fraser's birthday is coming up in July and he's a big fan of Simon C. So its arrival would be good timing and he will love the fact I got him a shout out on the podcast regardless. Do you not fancy some magic?
13:49 Ant McPartlin? Nah. I know you do.
13:51 Declan Donnelly? I do.
13:52 Ant McPartlin? He's offering a Zoom call where he shows us magic tricks. But anyway, Stephen Muller does all this for me. I can do that. He comes around and.
14:01 Declan Donnelly? He doesn't tell us how to do it though.
14:03 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, you're right. You're right. No, thank you.
14:05 Declan Donnelly? No.
14:06 Ant McPartlin? Slim pickings, isn't it?
14:07 Declan Donnelly? That's so disappointing.
14:08 Ant McPartlin? And I don't think Simon would be into that.
14:10 Declan Donnelly? I thought I was gonna have some magic lessons while reading me Roy the Rovers.
14:14 Ant McPartlin? None of it's for you.
14:15 Declan Donnelly? Should be.
14:16 Ant McPartlin? Hold on, are you listening? None of it's for you. It's for the main man here.
14:19 Declan Donnelly? Well, I can have a little look before it goes to him.
14:21 Ant McPartlin? No, you won't. What, you're gonna join the Zoom call?
14:24 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
14:24 Ant McPartlin? You're not invited?
14:26 Declan Donnelly? I am. He said it was for both of us to impress the kids and the wife.
14:28 Ant McPartlin? But I've changed the rules since you wrote about it.
14:31 Declan Donnelly? Okay. I want to impress my wife. I find it very difficult to impress her.
14:36 Ant McPartlin? Just clear away your piles. I'll impress your wife.
14:41 Declan Donnelly? This one's from Callum and Freddie.
14:42 Ant McPartlin? Hi guys.
14:43 Declan Donnelly? My name is Callum and my best friend's name is Freddie.
14:46 Ant McPartlin? Ah, I like these two.
14:47 Declan Donnelly? We would love the Simon autograph because we are probably the biggest Got Talent fans in the world. By fans, I mean we are completely Got Talent obsessed. We watch every single show going, spend time researching the in-depth history of Got Talent and its development, and are both able to memorize various statistics from the show and we haven't got a clue how we do it. The autograph would be something really special for us to have and maybe take turns with. If we can't agree whose wall should go on.
15:14 Ant McPartlin? Take turns with? That sounds weird, doesn't it? Doesn't it though?
15:21 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
15:22 Ant McPartlin? It does. I know what you mean. It just still sounds weird.
15:26 Declan Donnelly? Anywho, let's skate by that. Let's.
15:28 Ant McPartlin? Don't know how old they are, so let's not go there.
15:31 Declan Donnelly? In exchange for it, we would like to swap you.
15:33 Ant McPartlin? Uh huh. I'm listening.
15:35 Declan Donnelly? This is good. Thinking of where this is going.
15:38 Ant McPartlin? Yep.
15:39 Declan Donnelly? A Simon Cowell bobblehead, a Simon Cowell doll, all of Simon Cowell's books. You see, our thinking is that scene as Simon gave you his autograph as your leaving present this year, maybe you could give him these next year as his leaving present.
15:52 Ant McPartlin? That's a great idea.
15:53 Declan Donnelly? Love the pod. Respect, guys. Callum and Freddie. P.S. At least it's not tap shoes.
15:59 Ant McPartlin? Very good point.
16:00 Declan Donnelly? Good point, Callum and Freddie.
16:01 Ant McPartlin? Very good point.
16:02 Declan Donnelly? There we are. They're on the screen. There's a Cowell doll, the bobblehead, lots of books.
16:09 Ant McPartlin? Lots of books. Who knew he was such a prolific author?
16:13 Declan Donnelly? What do you think?
16:14 Ant McPartlin? That's a yes. That's a potential. That's a big possibility.
16:17 Declan Donnelly? Hi, gang.
16:18 Speaker 05 Hi.
16:19 Declan Donnelly? Hey.
16:19 Ant McPartlin? Jack.
16:20 Speaker 04 Hi.
16:21 Declan Donnelly? The Simon Cowell signed photo is inspired. So much so, I've done my own for the swap. What do you say, Ant? A signed photo of my tap shoes?
16:32 Ant McPartlin? For God's sake.
16:34 Declan Donnelly? Much love, Caroline. Wow, that is good. And that is random.
16:39 Ant McPartlin? That is good. That is good.
16:41 Declan Donnelly? And random.
16:42 Ant McPartlin? Good and random. Right, okay.
16:44 Declan Donnelly? Poss?
16:45 Ant McPartlin? That is a possible.
16:46 Declan Donnelly? Okay.
16:46 Ant McPartlin? That is a possible. Because we're not having it. We said we'd never swap with the tap shoes or a picture of the tap shoes or a 3D hologram of the tap shoes, but we're not swapping, are we?
16:55 Declan Donnelly? No.
16:55 Ant McPartlin? Simon's swapping. Ha ha. Lucky.
16:57 Declan Donnelly? So on our shortlist today, we have the signed photo of the tap shoes.
17:02 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
17:03 Declan Donnelly? We have the Simon Cowell memorabilia, the bobblehead, the boots.
17:06 Ant McPartlin? Yes. Yeah.
17:08 Declan Donnelly? And finally, we have the unused doormat, which reads, "A silly goose lives here." Do you think you will swap with one of those three?
17:19 Ant McPartlin? Yes, I do.
17:20 Declan Donnelly? Amazing. Find out which one he swaps after this break.
17:28 Speaker 01 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. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC dot com. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.
18:02 Declan Donnelly? You join us at a very tense moment here in the hanging out studio.
18:08 Declan Donnelly? Ant is swapping the signed Simon Cowell photo
18:11 Ant McPartlin? I am.
18:12 Declan Donnelly? for one lucky person here. Will it be Molly's doormat, which reads "The Silly Goose Lives Here"? Will it be Calvin and Freddie's Simon Cowell memorabilia? Or will it be Caroline's signed tap shoe photo? Ant, who are you swapping with? Who's our lucky swapper this week?
18:30 Ant McPartlin? I have made my decision. And I think I'm going to swap the signed Simon Cowell picture for the Silly Goose doormat!
18:47 Declan Donnelly? Congratulations, Molly!
18:48 Ant McPartlin? Well done, Molly!
18:49 Declan Donnelly? We'll have your doormat. That will be winging its way to Malibu for Simon Cowell's doorstep. I would love it.
18:57 Ant McPartlin? We'll film it. And hopefully, he'll film him getting it. And we'll put it all on our socials.
19:02 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, let's do that.
19:03 Ant McPartlin? Yeah?
19:03 Declan Donnelly? Great.
19:03 Ant McPartlin? Okay, good. Thank you.
19:05 Declan Donnelly? Well done, Molly!
19:06 Ant McPartlin? Right, so, no longer, it's no longer mine. Goodbye, Simon!
19:10 Declan Donnelly? That is sad.
19:12 Ant McPartlin? You go with my... Ooh, he's a good kisser.
19:18 Ant McPartlin? Take that, wrap it up. Send me the Simon Cowell, please.
19:21 Declan Donnelly? We've got a little space on our shelf behind us now where Simon Cowell...
19:24 Ant McPartlin? That's a shame.
19:25 Declan Donnelly? Once stood.
19:27 Ant McPartlin? Well, where's yours?
19:28 Declan Donnelly? Oh.
19:30 Declan Donnelly? I've got mine in here. Let's just put mine up. Let's put that there.
19:33 Ant McPartlin? There you go.
19:34 Declan Donnelly? There he is. Might swap that next week.
19:39 Declan Donnelly? You been out and uh, out shopping?
19:41 Ant McPartlin? No.
19:42 Declan Donnelly? Still not?
19:43 Ant McPartlin? Been at home. I've been at home, not spending a penny. I went on, you know, we played, I had a wee. You know, we played golf last week.
19:51 Declan Donnelly? We did indeed.
19:52 Ant McPartlin? And everybody has got um, these, have you heard of these golf watches? Do you know what a golf watch is? So they're, so basically you download the course onto your watch and whatever course you're playing, if when you hit your first shot, it'll tell you you're 200 yards away from the green or you're, you know, there's a bunker there or whatever. You've got one of them, haven't you?
20:14 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I do.
20:14 Ant McPartlin? I did have one. Well, I've still got it, but I can't find the wire. So when we played last week, everybody had a golf watch on, bar me. And I missed having a golf watch because mine's run out of battery and someone, well, someone's taken the wire. I don't know where the wire is. So I was like, right, I'm gonna buy a new wire for me golf watch.
20:34 Declan Donnelly? That's a necessity, right?
20:35 Ant McPartlin? That's permitted, right? A necessity. The wire's gone missing.
20:39 Speaker 04 Does that count?
20:40 Ant McPartlin? Course of, what do you mean? Doesn't, shut up, Jack. Where's Lola?
20:47 Ant McPartlin? So I went onto Amazon and I'm on there, there's only a new generation version of our watch out.
20:55 Declan Donnelly? Oh, that's uh, that's very tempting, isn't it? Is that a necessity?
20:59 Ant McPartlin? Well, it's like all of, when you look at the greens, the, the colour, the quarters, and you can see the bunkers in real detail. There's flybys of the whole.
21:08 Declan Donnelly? Oh wow.
21:08 Ant McPartlin? I mean, it's, it's, it's, it makes yours look old school and mine. Um, but it was 349 pounds.
21:16 Declan Donnelly? Spenny that.
21:17 Ant McPartlin? It's very spenny for a golf watch that we, we don't use too often. So I just bought a replacement wire.
21:26 Ant McPartlin? Don't applaud me, I hate it every second of it. Do you know what? The fact that I outed myself as having this spending ban has actually stopped me spending, but the fact that I've told you guys and all of you lot now know. Not that you'd know if it was an old version or a new version on me wrist. Um, but yeah, I, I tell you now in the hope that I receive a small plastic banana as a reward for not spending.
21:54 Declan Donnelly? I've got me back here. Is there anything else you've been really tempted by?
21:58 Ant McPartlin? Yes, the McLaren Golf Clubs, but obviously.
22:02 Declan Donnelly? That's not allowed.
22:03 Ant McPartlin? I just keep seeing them everywhere.
22:03 Declan Donnelly? Oh no.
22:04 Ant McPartlin? Keep seeing the tour players.
22:05 Declan Donnelly? It's um.
22:06 Ant McPartlin? I think someone had them. I went down to our, our golf club at the weekend, right? And I played six holes with my daughter Daisy and, because we haven't really played too often together because she's been in university. So we played six holes. The weather was so bad, we chucked it off and came home. Um, but there was a, there was a club championship going on. Guess who was top of the leaderboard? Because everyone's going, where, where are you in the leaderboard? Are you on the leaderboard for the club championship? I was like, I didn't know there was a club championship. Um, but there was, there was a set of McLaren golf clubs out the front.
22:36 Declan Donnelly? Tom Holland.
22:37 Ant McPartlin? No, not Tom Holland. Declan Rice. Not Declan Rice.
22:42 Declan Donnelly? Ah, Andy Murray.
22:44 Ant McPartlin? Andy Murray. Can you believe it?
22:47 Declan Donnelly? I can believe it.
22:48 Ant McPartlin? Do you reckon those were his clubs?
22:50 Declan Donnelly? The McLarens? Definitely.
22:51 Speaker 04 I bet he's got the new golf watch.
22:53 Ant McPartlin? I bet he's got the new, yeah, that's why.
22:56 Declan Donnelly? That's why it's top of the leaderboard.
22:57 Ant McPartlin? He's got the new golf watch.
22:58 Declan Donnelly? He can see the bunker in detail.
23:00 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, he can. All those flybys of the holes is really helping him out.
23:03 Declan Donnelly? He's an incredible golfer apparently.
23:05 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, and his dedication to improving his golf game is as good as when he was playing tennis apparently.
23:12 Declan Donnelly? Wow.
23:13 Ant McPartlin? Come on, come on. I've sidetracked you with the McLaren golf clubs, but I didn't buy them and I didn't buy the golf watch, I bought a wire.
23:22 Ant McPartlin? Thank you, Declan. Thank you.
23:24 Declan Donnelly? How many bananas you got there now?
23:26 Ant McPartlin? Thank you for your pennies. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
23:30 Declan Donnelly? Eight bananas!
23:32 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, that's it. We're finished. I can spend, spend, spend. Come on, McLaren Golf Clubs!
23:40 Ant McPartlin? Oh, I broke my microphone.
23:42 Declan Donnelly? He's gonna see, you're gonna have to buy another one.
23:44 Speaker 05 Didn't we decide that we were gonna give you an Amazon, a pound Amazon voucher for every banana you say?
23:50 Ant McPartlin? Yes, you did. So, so far my Amazon voucher is eight pounds.
23:53 Speaker 05 Yes, so how many pounds you'll have to spend at Amazon?
23:56 Ant McPartlin? I can't do the maths. A million pounds!
24:02 Declan Donnelly? This is being recorded.
24:03 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
24:04 Declan Donnelly? Um, because we are going away.
24:07 Speaker 05 Recorded early, not just recorded.
24:09 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, no, guys, guys, we're being recorded, guys.
24:14 Ant McPartlin? Oh my god, are you out of wire?
24:16 Declan Donnelly? Guys, I've got news for you, we're all being recorded. Um, we're recording this early because next week we are going away to Portugal. I don't know why I did that.
24:30 Ant McPartlin? Don't ever do that again. Don't do it when we get to Portugal either. Hello, people from Portugal.
24:38 Declan Donnelly? We're going to Portugal to record Holy Moly.
24:40 Ant McPartlin? Can't wait.
24:41 Declan Donnelly? The world's biggest mini golf tournament.
24:44 Ant McPartlin? Can't wait.
24:44 Declan Donnelly? It's gonna be really fun, so we're out there next week. But it's, um, it's gonna be funny, excited?
24:48 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I am really excited. It's a good show.
24:50 Declan Donnelly? It's great.
24:51 Ant McPartlin? It's a really good show.
24:51 Declan Donnelly? Can't wait.
24:52 Ant McPartlin? And I won't be able to wear my golf watch, because it's mini golf.
24:56 Declan Donnelly? Mini golf.
24:57 Ant McPartlin? It wouldn't count.
24:57 Declan Donnelly? That course is not in your watch.
24:59 Ant McPartlin? It'd be charged up by then, the wire would come by then.
25:01 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, the course is definitely not in your watch.
25:02 Ant McPartlin? But there's no time for us to play golf, is there? Do you remember when we got to play the course?
25:06 Declan Donnelly? Let me tell you the story. So.
25:08 Ant McPartlin? Huh? What do you mean, the story?
25:09 Declan Donnelly? About Holy Moly.
25:11 Ant McPartlin? A sto- what do you mean, the story?
25:14 Declan Donnelly? Well, just shut up and listen.
25:15 Ant McPartlin? One day.
25:16 Declan Donnelly? Once upon a time, um, we started talking about hosting Holy Moly, that there was the format, and, um, they say, look, it's gonna be really fun, we're gonna do it down in Portugal.
25:26 Ant McPartlin? Oh, yeah.
25:26 Declan Donnelly? It's gonna be lovely, it's gonna be Portugal in June playing golf.
25:30 Ant McPartlin? Portugal.
25:31 Declan Donnelly? Portugal. It's gonna be Portugal in June playing golf. Brilliant show. You've seen it in the States, it's been a big hit in America, it's been a hit in Australia. Really good fun. We're like, oh, go on then, that sounds really tempting, let's do it. So we sign up to do the show. About a week later, they come through with the logistics. And they say, oh.
25:49 Ant McPartlin? All the boring stuff.
25:50 Declan Donnelly? All the boring stuff. And then they go, we should probably tell you, the course is incredible, and it's really colourful, and it's really brilliantly lit. So it's much prettier, uh, on screen if we shoot it at night, it looks better.
26:05 Ant McPartlin? Well, okay.
26:06 Declan Donnelly? Okay, yeah, right, got it, got it.
26:07 Ant McPartlin? That's how the American version was, that's the version that we liked. Yeah, we're in.
26:11 Declan Donnelly? So then we get the schedule through. We start recording at 10 o'clock at night, and we wrap at 5 o'clock in the morning.
26:17 Ant McPartlin? Jack, I see you're not coming out for that? No. No.
26:20 Speaker 05 I am.
26:21 Declan Donnelly? Fiona is?
26:22 Ant McPartlin? Fiona is. Ha ha.
26:24 Speaker 05 I think it's the best of both worlds.
26:25 Declan Donnelly? How come?
26:26 Speaker 05 We get to go to bed at five, six hours late, get up, sunbathe.
26:30 Declan Donnelly? And then go to work at eight o'clock.
26:32 Speaker 05 Yeah, we snooze by the pool.
26:32 Ant McPartlin? Snooze by the pool?
26:33 Speaker 05 Yeah.
26:34 Declan Donnelly? I can't snooze in the sun. I will be very...
26:36 Ant McPartlin? No way, lobster boy.
26:39 Declan Donnelly? Pre-read. I'll be like a rash of bacon.
26:43 Declan Donnelly? Shriveling the sun. Can't do that.
26:45 Ant McPartlin? But apart from the grueling schedule and the all-nighters, it's gonna be a lot of fun.
26:51 Declan Donnelly? I can't wait. I'm quite excited about the all-nighters. Shall we hand over to TV's Ant and Dec for a real-time update from Portugal?
26:59 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
27:00 Declan Donnelly? Shall we do that?
27:00 Ant McPartlin? How are the all-nighters going, Ant and Dec? Uh, okay.
27:03 Declan Donnelly? They're going, they're going well.
27:05 Ant McPartlin? Do we look tired?
27:06 Declan Donnelly? We are a little bit tired, but we are having a lot of fun. You guys are gonna love it out here.
27:11 Ant McPartlin? We're having a ball.
27:13 Declan Donnelly? Oh, no.
27:19 Declan Donnelly? Well, notice that. Remember to say something really, that is very hard.
27:23 Ant McPartlin? What's catering like? Cause I love catering on jobs, don't you?
27:29 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
27:29 Ant McPartlin? What's catering like, TV's Ant and Dec?
27:32 Declan Donnelly? Catering's been good.
27:33 Ant McPartlin? Yes, it's been good. I had a vegetable curry today, which is very unneat.
27:36 Declan Donnelly? It's not very like, yeah.
27:38 Ant McPartlin? And I liked it.
27:38 Declan Donnelly? Mmm, you'll be surprised how much you enjoy it.
27:40 Ant McPartlin? Oh, wicked.
27:41 Declan Donnelly? That's good.
27:42 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, sounds tasty. I look forward to that.
27:45 Declan Donnelly? Do I need a jumper for the evenings? You do, Dec. You, you do. Um, even a little light jacket. But yes, I've got you a jumper. It's here. I'll, I'll leave it in your dressing room for you.
27:57 Ant McPartlin? Oh.
27:59 Declan Donnelly? That hasn't helped.
28:01 Declan Donnelly? That hasn't helped. I don't know. What's the time there?
28:05 Ant McPartlin? The time is ten to ten, exactly the same time as back home.
28:10 Declan Donnelly? What a stupid question.
28:11 Ant McPartlin? No time difference.
28:11 Declan Donnelly? Stupid question.
28:12 Ant McPartlin? Idiot. Same time, innit?
28:13 Declan Donnelly? Same time.
28:14 Ant McPartlin? That was a real bad use of time travel. Whatever this is, whatever this is, it was a bad use of it.
28:22 Declan Donnelly? Why don't we ask about the football scores?
28:23 Ant McPartlin? Good idea.
28:24 Declan Donnelly? Did England win their first World Cup game?
28:26 Ant McPartlin? Well, how do we know that? How do we know that?
28:28 Declan Donnelly? This is, it's still too early.
28:30 Ant McPartlin? We're not that far in the future.
28:32 Declan Donnelly? We're not, yeah, we're not in the future yet.
28:33 Ant McPartlin? That's tomorrow.
28:38 Declan Donnelly? That's, that's confused me even more.
28:39 Ant McPartlin? That's really confused me, I don't get it.
28:40 Declan Donnelly? So we're pre-recorded and we're recorded early and they're being recorded early.
28:44 Ant McPartlin? Oh, my head hurts.
28:45 Declan Donnelly? Nobody's seen the football. I don't get it. I don't understand.
28:48 Speaker 05 Jamie Oliver reached out this week.
28:50 Ant McPartlin? Did he?
28:51 Speaker 05 Yeah.
28:51 Ant McPartlin? About time.
28:52 Speaker 05 He's free.
28:54 Ant McPartlin? Ah, is he? When?
28:55 Declan Donnelly? September.
28:56 Ant McPartlin? Come on in. Come on in.
28:58 Speaker 05 He's free.
28:58 Ant McPartlin? Knock on the door.
28:59 Speaker 05 In July, but you're not here.
29:02 Ant McPartlin? Unlucky Jamie Oliver. Some of us are busy too.
29:09 Declan Donnelly? We're on holiday, aren't we?
29:10 Speaker 05 Yeah.
29:11 Declan Donnelly? We're on holiday.
29:13 Ant McPartlin? In Portugal, baby.
29:17 Declan Donnelly? Oh, that's a shame.
29:18 Speaker 05 But do you think maybe I should just invite him in to an empty studio?
29:22 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I think you should. I think he should come in and, and just.
29:24 Declan Donnelly? That'll teach him.
29:25 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. Yeah, let's just invite him, but we're ten role here. Keep the cameras rolling when he comes in. Oh, guys. And get him crying. He'll be crying and we'll post it on the internet.
29:38 Declan Donnelly? And get him cancelled.
29:39 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, cancel Jamie Oliver.
29:41 Declan Donnelly? And let's tell him it's fancy dress.
29:46 Declan Donnelly? That's gonna be hilarious. Stay tuned for that.
29:50 Ant McPartlin? That's why we doesn't listen to this, because our plan would be foiled.
29:52 Declan Donnelly? Oh, yeah. Didn't think of that.
29:57 Speaker 05 It's International Picnic Day.
29:59 Ant McPartlin? Oh, International Picnic Day. I'm surprised you didn't come up with that one.
30:04 Declan Donnelly? No, I'm surprised. I love a day.
30:07 Ant McPartlin? How was that once? Passed you by?
30:08 Declan Donnelly? I don't know. Two of my favourite things. A day.
30:12 Ant McPartlin? Who does two like that? Who does two like that? Like, do you do two like that, don't you?
30:16 Declan Donnelly? No, I do two like that. I've got my thumb, for those of you listening.
30:20 Speaker 05 That's how they do it in Europe.
30:22 Ant McPartlin? It's how they do it in Portugal.
30:24 Declan Donnelly? Um, uh, if you're just listening, I've got my thumb and my forefinger, pointy finger?
30:30 Speaker 05 Index.
30:30 Ant McPartlin? Index finger.
30:31 Declan Donnelly? Index finger? What's my forefinger? Where's your forefinger?
30:35 Declan Donnelly? How dare you. Fiona, you can guess what Fiona just flipped there.
30:40 Ant McPartlin? The bird.
30:43 Declan Donnelly? International picnic day, two of my favourite things, a day and picnics.
30:47 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, go on.
30:48 Declan Donnelly? Oh, not actually, not actually picnics, picnic food, picky bits.
30:52 Ant McPartlin? Why don't you like picnics?
30:54 Declan Donnelly? Uh, it's on the ground.
30:56 Ant McPartlin? What's wrong with that?
30:58 Declan Donnelly? It's a bit of a faff, isn't it?
31:00 Ant McPartlin? No.
31:00 Declan Donnelly? I like, I like.
31:01 Ant McPartlin? It's fun.
31:01 Declan Donnelly? No, I like picky bits on, in the kitchen.
31:05 Ant McPartlin? God. In a sweltering summer.
31:08 Declan Donnelly? I can't.
31:08 Ant McPartlin? Sat in your kitchen, going out of bed for a picnic, oh my God, we just sat in the kitchen all day. Wait, did he open the window? Don't, sort of grass he doesn't like.
31:20 Ant McPartlin? So he's gonna get burnt like a rash of bacon or something.
31:25 Declan Donnelly? What's your favourite picky bit?
31:27 Ant McPartlin? Well, well, well, well, well, I love everything. I like Scotch eggs, I like sausage rolls, yeah? And you, yeah? Not so much a quiche. I know that's very picnic-y, but I don't, I don't like eggs. So.
31:42 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
31:42 Ant McPartlin? Quiche is all, I can, I can have a slice, but.
31:45 Declan Donnelly? I'm not, I'm not mad.
31:46 Ant McPartlin? You love eggs?
31:47 Declan Donnelly? I love eggs. I'm not mad at a quiche.
31:48 Ant McPartlin? You like a quiche?
31:49 Declan Donnelly? No, no, no.
31:50 Ant McPartlin? I like little cocktail sausages.
31:51 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
31:51 Ant McPartlin? Very sausage based, my, my picnic loves. But I like to go olives, I like hummus, I like, you know, I like, I like slightly more Mediterranean style as well. Yourself?
32:02 Declan Donnelly? It's all about the Scotch eggs.
32:04 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
32:05 Declan Donnelly? Cocktail sausages.
32:06 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
32:07 Declan Donnelly? Pork pie?
32:08 Ant McPartlin? Pork pie, I didn't think of a pork pie, yes.
32:10 Declan Donnelly? A little pork pie.
32:11 Ant McPartlin? Pork pie, do you like pork pie with an egg in the middle?
32:13 Declan Donnelly? Oh, yeah.
32:14 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I knew you would, you dirty devil.
32:16 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it's all about cocktail sausages, sausage rolls and Scotch eggs. That's the holy trinity, isn't it, of the picnic?
32:22 Ant McPartlin? It is.
32:23 Speaker 05 Nothing sweet?
32:24 Ant McPartlin? Nothing sweet. I do like, I do like a lemon drizzle cake. Is that a picnic based? Yeah. It's like a summer cake, right?
32:32 Declan Donnelly? Any kind of cake.
32:33 Speaker 05 Strawberries.
32:35 Ant McPartlin? Strawberries and cream. Yes, Fiona. At last you've contributed something good to this podcast.
32:43 Declan Donnelly? I knew if we stuck with her for long enough.
32:44 Ant McPartlin? Exactly. Well done.
32:46 Declan Donnelly? Give yourself a little trumpet in celebration.
32:51 Declan Donnelly? Good.
32:51 Ant McPartlin? Good, she's good.
32:52 Declan Donnelly? She's good as well.
32:55 Declan Donnelly? Ready for a little bit of diary action?
32:58 Ant McPartlin? You're on the screen again. Do we have a Dex diary jingle?
33:01 Speaker 05 We do. This is from Adam Bertwhistle in Suffolk.
33:03 Ant McPartlin? Hold on, before you play it, you look like the deck on the screen in the checky shirt.
33:10 Declan Donnelly? Oh, yeah, it is quite a similar shirt.
33:12 Ant McPartlin? It's very similar. Why don't you recreate that pause as we play the jingle?
33:16 Declan Donnelly? Let me get a pen.
33:16 Ant McPartlin? Get on the desk, please. Get on the desk, get a pen, and write your diary.
33:21 Declan Donnelly? Right, let's have a look.
33:22 Ant McPartlin? Woo, there we go, there we go.
33:26 Declan Donnelly? Do I need to take my shoes off?
33:27 Ant McPartlin? No, no, that's fine. Yeah, how dirty are your socks?
33:30 Declan Donnelly? Let me have a look, let's see if they're not shod.
33:33 Ant McPartlin? Oh, they're clean. No, that's a shame. That's a shame. They're not dirty like the ones on the picture. Play the jingle.
33:38 Declan Donnelly? It's Dex's diary.
33:42 Declan Donnelly? I'm so glad he wrote it down. I hope that I'm around for the next Dex diary.
33:54 Declan Donnelly? Respect, guys.
33:55 Speaker 05 That was lovely.
33:56 Ant McPartlin? Woo, pop them trainers back on, bad boy. Get out of it!
34:02 Declan Donnelly? That was lovely, that.
34:03 Ant McPartlin? Someone's did a full body workout this morning in those shoes.
34:06 Declan Donnelly? So last week, you'll remember, in fact, we didn't do it last week, we ran out of time, didn't we, all week? Forgot. So, we didn't do it last week, but the week before was chart day, chart day.
34:14 Ant McPartlin? Yes, it was.
34:15 Declan Donnelly? We went at number 27. So this was a Monday, this was Monday, the 18th of April 1994. Day 22 of life on the road. The laziest day we've had, I think.
34:26 Ant McPartlin? Really? We've had some pretty lazy days.
34:29 Declan Donnelly? Hung about the house in Kent all day, got bored.
34:34 Ant McPartlin? Oh, who writes that?
34:35 Declan Donnelly? Me.
34:36 Ant McPartlin? Dirty mouth, potty mouth. Bored. No one uses that.
34:42 Declan Donnelly? No.
34:43 Ant McPartlin? Do they? You've never used it since?
34:44 Declan Donnelly? I never.
34:45 Ant McPartlin? I never even heard you say it then.
34:46 Declan Donnelly? No.
34:47 Ant McPartlin? We're just trying to be angry for the diary.
34:49 Declan Donnelly? I was trying to be cool. Later on, we travelled to Poole, which is next to Bournemouth.
34:54 Ant McPartlin? Mm hmm. Did you put that in that?
34:56 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:57 Ant McPartlin? Which is next to Bournemouth. Yeah, you did as well. Which is next to Bournemouth, future me.
35:01 Declan Donnelly? The block at the venue, which is what it was called in Poole, where we were playing, didn't realise what type of reaction we were gonna get.
35:09 Ant McPartlin? Oh, I see.
35:10 Declan Donnelly? And put us on the little stage and gave us two security.
35:14 Ant McPartlin? Silly guy. He underestimated the power of PJ Duggan.
35:18 Declan Donnelly? Well.
35:19 Ant McPartlin? What?
35:19 Declan Donnelly? He learned.
35:24 Declan Donnelly? He learned. He was a converted AKA lover.
35:31 Ant McPartlin? Oh, God. Oh, my God.
35:34 Declan Donnelly? Oh, Chris should be told to curl.
35:36 Ant McPartlin? You know, they say don't believe the hype. You're believing the hype, mate.
35:42 Declan Donnelly? Promising us the big stage and all the crash barriers next time. How wrong can people be?
35:52 Declan Donnelly? Oh, my toes are physically curling right now.
35:53 Ant McPartlin? Oh, my God.
35:54 Declan Donnelly? We stopped off for a bite to eat and straight to bed after a bit of farting around with the camera. I don't know why I was farting around with the camera. That sounds weird. Got into bed after two o'clock. Too late.
36:10 Ant McPartlin? Too late.
36:10 Declan Donnelly? That is too late.
36:11 Ant McPartlin? That is, that is, that is late.
36:12 Declan Donnelly? At that, at that age, I really should be invested in my beauty sleep.
36:15 Ant McPartlin? No, give over. That's what, that's what that age is all about. Staying up late and having fun.
36:21 Declan Donnelly? Yeah. I don't know if I had fun. I was just farting about with the camera. Maybe I had fun.
36:26 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, hold on. Was I there or was just you and the camera?
36:29 Declan Donnelly? I don't know.
36:30 Ant McPartlin? Now it seems sorted. Now it seems sorted. Thank God it's not the video diary entry.
36:37 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it could be weird. But that is it.
36:40 Ant McPartlin? That's it.
36:40 Declan Donnelly? That's it for the 18th of April, and we only have two entries left.
36:47 Ant McPartlin? This next bit is brought to you by Gemini, Google's AI app. So, question for you.
36:52 Declan Donnelly? Go on.
36:53 Ant McPartlin? Did you do a full body workout today?
36:54 Declan Donnelly? No, I did not.
36:55 Ant McPartlin? Oh, why?
36:56 Declan Donnelly? Did one yesterday, though.
36:57 Ant McPartlin? Did you?
36:57 Declan Donnelly? Bashed out a full body yesterday. Then tomorrow, it's rest day today, then tomorrow I've got posterior chain.
37:03 Ant McPartlin? What on earth is that?
37:05 Declan Donnelly? It's your back, hamstrings, calves, glutes. You've got to, don't, don't, uh, don't forget the glutes.
37:11 Ant McPartlin? No, don't forget the glutes.
37:12 Declan Donnelly? Uh.
37:13 Ant McPartlin? What could possibly worse than? Do you want me to do, uh, a workout plan with Google Gemini?
37:18 Declan Donnelly? That's a great idea.
37:19 Ant McPartlin? Should I do one?
37:20 Declan Donnelly? Yes, please.
37:20 Ant McPartlin? See what it says?
37:21 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
37:21 Ant McPartlin? Okay, um, Gemini, can you build deck an exercise plan for a full body workout? Uh, he's a 50 year old man.
37:29 Declan Donnelly? Unnecessary.
37:29 Ant McPartlin? Who leads a very busy life, so keep the workouts short, but impactful. Impactful. Always include a good warm up.
37:38 Declan Donnelly? What does Gemini say?
37:39 Ant McPartlin? Gemini says, here's a time efficient, high impact, full body workout plan.
37:44 Declan Donnelly? Time efficient is good.
37:46 Ant McPartlin? Designed specifically for busy bees.
37:49 Declan Donnelly? That's you.
37:51 Ant McPartlin? So, the schedule, two to three times a week, yeah?
37:54 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
37:55 Ant McPartlin? Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
37:56 Declan Donnelly? Yep.
37:57 Ant McPartlin? Duration 35 to 45 minutes in total, including warm up.
38:00 Declan Donnelly? That's good.
38:01 Ant McPartlin? That is good. Do you warm up?
38:03 Declan Donnelly? I do, always.
38:05 Ant McPartlin? What kind of warm do you do?
38:06 Declan Donnelly? I do stretches.
38:08 Ant McPartlin? Because Gemini says, arm circles and shoulder rolls, body weight squats, and the world's greatest stretch. You know what that is?
38:13 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
38:14 Ant McPartlin? Go on, show me. On the floor, yeah? Yes, it is. Now, look, hold on, it gives you exercise, yeah, yeah, yeah, it gives you exercises. So it's 25 to 30 minutes this, lower body push, dumbbell goblet squats. Fancy that? Yeah, he knows what he's doing. Next, the upper body pull, dumbbell bent over rolls. Yeah, that's it, well done. Next, the lower body pull, dumbbell Romanian deadlifts.
38:42 Declan Donnelly? Is that there?
38:43 Ant McPartlin? There, that's good. And then you cool down.
38:45 Declan Donnelly? Well, I need it.
38:46 Ant McPartlin? There's all sorts of function on here where you can film yourself doing a workout and it'll tell you about your form.
38:53 Declan Donnelly? So you thought you're doing it the right way?
38:55 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
38:55 Declan Donnelly? Do you want to try it?
38:55 Ant McPartlin? Sure.
38:55 Declan Donnelly? Come on then. Yeah, let's do it.
38:57 Ant McPartlin? Go on, hover the table then. So Joe and I, can you be brutally honest about the form of these push-ups, please? Thank you.
39:07 Speaker 06 Let's take an honest look at what's going on here.
39:09 Ant McPartlin? Oh, yeah, let's.
39:11 Speaker 06 As you asked, here is my brutally honest opinion on the form of those push-ups. 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.
39:30 Declan Donnelly? Really?
39:30 Ant McPartlin? That's good. That's handy though, isn't it? Like, if you're working out at home.
39:34 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
39:35 Ant McPartlin? And you-
39:35 Declan Donnelly? Just on your own.
39:36 Ant McPartlin? Just on your own. You've got no idea whether you're doing it right, you're doing it wrong, using that.
39:40 Declan Donnelly? Very helpful.
39:41 Ant McPartlin? That's very helpful. That's really good.
39:43 Declan Donnelly? But also, you need the right nutrition.
39:46 Ant McPartlin? Yes, you do.
39:47 Declan Donnelly? That's an important bit. Gemini, what about food before a workout? Because I love eggs. Should I be eating lots of eggs before I work out or after I work out?
39:58 Ant McPartlin? No, never.
39:58 Declan Donnelly? And also give me some other high protein snack ideas too, please.
40:02 Ant McPartlin? Yes, please do, Gemini.
40:04 Declan Donnelly? Gemini says, eggs are fantastic for fitness, but timing is everything because they contain both proteins and fats. They digest slowly, so after your workout is the best time to eat your eggs. Before your workout, avoid eating lots of eggs. Before workout-
40:20 Ant McPartlin? Because you're-
40:22 Declan Donnelly? Maybe, yeah.
40:22 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
40:23 Declan Donnelly? Scare your PT off. Before a workout.
40:26 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
40:26 Declan Donnelly? You could have some Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey.
40:29 Ant McPartlin? No, nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:30 Declan Donnelly? That's nice.
40:31 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I'm up for that.
40:32 Declan Donnelly? Gemini says, rice cakes with a thin layer of peanut butter and banana slices.
40:36 Ant McPartlin? Oh, now you're talking.
40:38 Declan Donnelly? That sounds good.
40:38 Ant McPartlin? Mmm, anything with banana slices, anything.
40:41 Declan Donnelly? That's a great energy boost.
40:42 Ant McPartlin? Other than the eggs.
40:43 Declan Donnelly? Without it feeling heavy.
40:44 Ant McPartlin? Mm-hmm.
40:44 Declan Donnelly? Then great food for after workout, hard boiled eggs and a handful of almonds.

41:19 Ant McPartlin? Watching a very good TV show at the minute.
41:22 Declan Donnelly? Tell me.
41:22 Ant McPartlin? Widows Bay.
41:24 Declan Donnelly? Ah, so I've seen this, Apple TV.
41:26 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
41:27 Declan Donnelly? Matthew Rees.
41:27 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
41:28 Declan Donnelly? Uh, he's Welsh.
41:30 Ant McPartlin? Yes, but not in the show.
41:31 Declan Donnelly? I was gonna say.
41:32 Ant McPartlin? He's American in the show, very good American accent.
41:34 Declan Donnelly? Is he?
41:34 Ant McPartlin? So I'll give you a brief synopsis of the plot.
41:37 Declan Donnelly? Please do.
41:37 Ant McPartlin? He is the mayor of this small island just off Boston in America.
41:43 Declan Donnelly? Got it.
41:43 Ant McPartlin? Right. And he wants more tourists and he really wants more tourists. He's a bit desperate, right?
41:49 Declan Donnelly? Hang on, before you go any further, how would you categorise this? Is it a thriller? Is it a, is it a?
41:54 Ant McPartlin? Well, it's a horror.
41:56 Declan Donnelly? Ooh.
41:56 Ant McPartlin? It's a spooky horror. It's a, it's a dark comedy.
42:01 Declan Donnelly? Right, got it.
42:01 Ant McPartlin? Um, and each episode is slightly different to the one before in the fact that a different director directed it. I like one director directed three, but they're like flip flop. And so the style is slightly different and one might look a little bit like the horror movie, The Ring. And the next one might look like Carrie, you know, the Stephen King novel, but was turned into the horror film. But he, so he's the mayor of this island, trying to get tourists in. On the first night, there's an earthquake, that what they think is an earthquake, but all the locals are saying, that's not an earthquake, that's the island waking up and evil is about to rise.
42:41 Ant McPartlin? And he's like, ah, shut up. We just need more tourists because there's a guy coming from the New York Times to review one of the restaurants.
42:47 Declan Donnelly? Is that his accent? Because that's not great.
42:49 Ant McPartlin? Uh, that was, that was me.
42:50 Declan Donnelly? Okay, good, good, good, good, good.
42:51 Ant McPartlin? Ah, shut up. We just need more tourists. That's pretty good, right?
42:55 Declan Donnelly? We need to steal some from Portugal.
42:58 Ant McPartlin? So it's him trying to dismiss these theories of evil and bad spirits.
43:05 Declan Donnelly? He doesn't believe it.
43:06 Ant McPartlin? He doesn't believe it.
43:07 Declan Donnelly? Makes his whole bunk him.
43:07 Ant McPartlin? But stuff happens. And now I'm up to date now, so I've caught up and now they come out weekly, which is so annoying.
43:14 Declan Donnelly? Hmm, old fashioned, the old fashioned way of doing telly.
43:17 Ant McPartlin? Telly, telly, we're involved in. But it's really good. It's really good. You like him, he's really good. Their female lead, I don't know her name, is one of the funniest actors I've seen in a TV show for a long time.
43:31 Declan Donnelly? Really?
43:32 Ant McPartlin? Her performance is brilliant, really brilliant. She's very funny.
43:37 Declan Donnelly? Who is she?
43:38 Ant McPartlin? So it's, it's, it's a dark, it is a dark comedy because there's very funny bits in it, but there is jump out there. I watch it with my wife who does not like horror stuff.
43:46 Declan Donnelly? No.
43:46 Ant McPartlin? And she insists that we go back to it, even though she's scared. She's like, let's watch another one, but she puts my hands over her eyes and she's like, when the music gets to.
43:56 Declan Donnelly? What's wrong with her hands over her eyes?
43:58 Ant McPartlin? I don't know. I thought that. She always gets my hands.
44:00 Declan Donnelly? Are yours slightly bigger?
44:01 Ant McPartlin? But she's using her, yeah, my, my hands are bigger.
44:03 Declan Donnelly? To get your hands to cover her face. That's, that works.
44:06 Ant McPartlin? Why didn't you just do that? Yeah, you're right. My hands could be doing other things. Use your own hands.
44:12 Declan Donnelly? Um, I've got one question for you though. Does it contain zombies?
44:16 Ant McPartlin? No.
44:17 Declan Donnelly? Good, cool. I'm in. Can't do zombies.
44:20 Ant McPartlin? Why?
44:20 Declan Donnelly? Uh, it makes me anxious.
44:22 Ant McPartlin? So you never watched The Last of Us?
44:24 Declan Donnelly? Nah.
44:24 Ant McPartlin? Really?
44:25 Declan Donnelly? Nah, can't do it.
44:26 Ant McPartlin? That's such a good TV show.
44:27 Declan Donnelly? Can't do it. Can't do zombies.
44:29 Ant McPartlin? Why?
44:29 Declan Donnelly? Makes me too anxious.
44:31 Ant McPartlin? Oh my god.
44:31 Declan Donnelly? They're gonna come and eat my brain.
44:33 Ant McPartlin? They wouldn't be there very long.
44:36 Ant McPartlin? Done. Anyway, um, I can't really rate it, but so far, so far, it's bubbling up to the seven banana rating.
44:44 Declan Donnelly? Really?
44:44 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it's that good.
44:45 Declan Donnelly? Wow.
44:46 Ant McPartlin? It's that good.
44:46 Declan Donnelly? How many more you got left?
44:47 Ant McPartlin? Uh, I'm not sure how many is in the series. Maybe 10, so probably a couple more.
44:51 Declan Donnelly? Okay, that's a strong showing.
44:54 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
44:54 Declan Donnelly? Or a, a partial series.
44:56 Ant McPartlin? What's she called that actress? Have we found out yet?
44:58 Speaker 05 Cato Flynn.
44:59 Ant McPartlin? She's very funny, very funny. I can guarantee she'll win awards next year.
45:04 Declan Donnelly? Really?
45:05 Ant McPartlin? Yep.
45:05 Declan Donnelly? Well done, Kit.
45:06 Ant McPartlin? I mean, I can't guarantee it. Kit, if you're watching this, in no way can I guarantee you're gonna win awards.
45:13 Declan Donnelly? If you don't win awards, then Ant will send you all of his awards. You've got 20 odd NTAs coming your way if you don't win any awards next year.
45:22 Ant McPartlin? Okay, that's quite clear, isn't it?
45:23 Declan Donnelly? Or will he send her one NT?
45:24 Ant McPartlin? Okay.
45:25 Declan Donnelly? If she doesn't win any awards.
45:26 Ant McPartlin? If she doesn't win any awards in the next calendar year, when the awards season starts.
45:30 Declan Donnelly? You'll send her one of them.
45:30 Ant McPartlin? I'll send her an NT, yeah, absolutely.
45:34 Ant McPartlin? This is an advert for TV licensing.
45:37 Declan Donnelly? What are you watching on telly at the minute?
45:39 Ant McPartlin? The World Cup, odds.
45:40 Declan Donnelly? Oh, it's so good.
45:42 Ant McPartlin? It's so good!
45:44 Declan Donnelly? A summer, I know we've said this loads, a summer with a football tournament is just brilliant.
45:49 Ant McPartlin? It is great.
45:50 Declan Donnelly? Because people who aren't even ordinarily fans of football will get out and watch the games and you kind of get swept along by the optimism and the fun of the tournament. I just love it. It's such a feel-good vibe.
46:03 Ant McPartlin? And because it's on in the Americas.
46:06 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
46:06 Ant McPartlin? It's on a bit later, which is a shame, but that's not bad because you don't miss the games.
46:11 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I don't mind that too much.
46:13 Ant McPartlin? It's not like you're at work and you're missing the games. You're just, you're a bit bleary-eyed in the morning.
46:16 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
46:17 Ant McPartlin? But that's all right. We can put up with a month's worth of tired mornings.
46:21 Declan Donnelly? There's a few of those 2am ones that I'm not staying up for.
46:24 Ant McPartlin? Couple of the Scotland games, you're like, oh ouch!
46:26 Declan Donnelly? That's a bit late.
46:27 Ant McPartlin? That's a bit late. But yeah, I'll watch on, there's so many good catch-ups.
46:31 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
46:31 Ant McPartlin? Isn't there?
46:32 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, all the highlights shown.
46:33 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, they're great.
46:33 Declan Donnelly? Great. It's so good.
46:35 Ant McPartlin? Why do you think watching England for us is such a communal thing to do?
46:41 Declan Donnelly? I think it's just.
46:42 Ant McPartlin? Tribal?
46:43 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it's tribal. It's, you know, it's every couple of years that there's a big tournament. You want to get behind the country.
46:50 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
46:51 Declan Donnelly? But I'm like that with all the home nations whenever they play.
46:53 Ant McPartlin? I am.
46:54 Declan Donnelly? And the Republic of Ireland.
46:55 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I am. Yeah, I love it. When Wales.
46:57 Declan Donnelly? I love it.
46:57 Ant McPartlin? Wales played, when Scotland are at this time, yeah, the Republic of Ireland to follow, Northern Ireland, all of them. I always mark that on my little wall chart. Do you still do a wall chart?
47:05 Declan Donnelly? Course you do a wall chart.
47:06 Ant McPartlin? Everybody does a World Cup wall chart, right?
47:08 Declan Donnelly? Got to, you've got to get into it. I love it so much!
47:12 Ant McPartlin? So yeah, I'm watching that. What are you watching?
47:14 Declan Donnelly? Um, well, there's that and of course summer.
47:18 Ant McPartlin? Your other great passion.
47:19 Declan Donnelly? Summer viewing for me always means we have to watch a little bit of Love Island.
47:24 Ant McPartlin? Loves Love Island.
47:25 Declan Donnelly? It's, it is really good.
47:26 Ant McPartlin? Lola, do you remember when you pranked us and you said you were going on Love Island?
47:29 Speaker 05 Yeah, I do.
47:30 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I do too.
47:31 Declan Donnelly? And now there is somebody in Love Island called Lola.
47:33 Ant McPartlin? Oh yeah, there is. Is it the same person?
47:36 Declan Donnelly? It might be.
47:37 Ant McPartlin? We'll let you decide that.
47:38 Declan Donnelly? I've never seen her face.
47:39 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I've never seen her face.
47:40 Declan Donnelly? I don't know what she looks like.
47:41 Ant McPartlin? Could be.
47:42 Declan Donnelly? Could be her. Um, but it's good though as well. I love that whole reality daily show where you get to catch up and, and they do great cliffhangers on Love Island as well.
47:52 Ant McPartlin? They do.
47:52 Declan Donnelly? Very good cliffhangers. I do love it. I try every year. I'm not going to watch it this year. I'm just going to watch the opener and see what they're like when it's.
47:59 Ant McPartlin? And then he sucked in again.
48:00 Declan Donnelly? Sucked in.
48:01 Ant McPartlin? He sucked in.
48:02 Declan Donnelly? It's just, it's too much. I'm a, I'm a, I'm a sucker for a reality show, which is good because I host a couple of them as well. So it's, it's quite handy. A TV licence covers you to watch over 400 TV channels, including the ones we've talked about today.
48:18 Ant McPartlin? To find out more, go to tvl.co.uk/pod.
48:24 Declan Donnelly? Well, I didn't think I would, but I've had a lovely time.
48:28 Ant McPartlin? He turned up here today thinking it was going to be torture.
48:31 Declan Donnelly? I did. I really did. No, I didn't. I didn't. I was actually looking forward to today and.
48:35 Ant McPartlin? Well, like what? You don't normally?
48:36 Declan Donnelly? I do normally. Yeah. I was actually looking forward to it.
48:39 Ant McPartlin? Good. Yeah, I've had fun. Really good.
48:41 Declan Donnelly? And that's all we've got time for.
48:41 Ant McPartlin? Come on.
48:42 Declan Donnelly? For this week, we'll be back on Monday with a bonus ep. Um, well, we will be in Portugal, but we'll be here with a pre-recorded ep on Monday.
48:51 Ant McPartlin? We will.
48:52 Declan Donnelly? Um, and then we'll be back with you next Thursday for more fun and games from the hangout.
48:57 Ant McPartlin? Cheers.
49:00 Ant McPartlin? That's it. That's you lot. Thanks for watching.
49:02 Declan Donnelly? For listening, for watching.
49:03 Ant McPartlin? Respect guys.
49:03 Declan Donnelly? Respect guys. See you.
49:06 Declan Donnelly? Come on, let's get out of here.
49:20 Speaker 01 Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman?
