  Hello! Hello! Hi!

• 0:08Ant McPartlin?

  Hold on, can you put the lights on? In this place?

• 0:11Declan Donnelly?

  Oh yeah, turn it on. Hello everybody, good morning, good evening. Welcome to Hanging Out With Him And Me, episode two! We're back again, we've made it to episode two, guys!

• 0:22Ant McPartlin?

  Good eh?

• 0:23Declan Donnelly?

  That's not mean feat!

• 0:24Ant McPartlin?

  Coming up, we get the next installment from Dex's diary.

• 0:27Declan Donnelly?

  We had a dressing room, chilled drinks and really big security guards. Ant learns how to relax more.

• 0:37Ant McPartlin?

  You relaxed? What are you talking about? I'm relaxed! We tell the story of our biggest argument ever. Dex used a very, very loud ex- and then packed up the ballgame and went home.

• 0:49Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I did. We delve into your letters in our postbag.

• 0:52Ant McPartlin?

  Your nana's lying, your nana is a liar! I find out Dex snuck out to a concert without me. What VIP tickets!

• 1:01Declan Donnelly?

  VIP, yeah.

• 1:02Ant McPartlin?

  What a little dick.

• 1:03Declan Donnelly?

  That's all coming up, enjoy the show!

• 1:05Ant McPartlin?

  Good reaction!

• 1:06Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, great.

• 1:07Ant McPartlin?

  Is it the last podcast going out?

• 1:08Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it was nice.

• 1:09Ant McPartlin?

  Really good!

• 1:10Declan Donnelly?

  It was strange because, obviously we've never done this before and you do it and you send it out there and see if anybody likes it and, yeah, we got some really lovely reactions, so thank you for-

• 1:19Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we did, thank you very much.

• 1:20Declan Donnelly?

  For all of those. Oh, hang on, I've got to turn on our on-air sign on here.

• 1:23Ant McPartlin?

  Genuinely touched because we were nervous, we didn't know how it was gonna go, but yeah, it seemed to have gone down well. Thanks for listening, stroke watching!

• 1:30Declan Donnelly?

  I got recognised this week-

• 1:33Ant McPartlin?

  Did you? Did for being on the telly?

• 1:35Declan Donnelly?

  No, from the podcast.

• 1:37Ant McPartlin?

  How?

• 1:38Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I was, I'd parked my car, I was, I was looking for, you know when you're on the app now and you've got to find the number-

• 1:45Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 1:46Declan Donnelly?

  -of the place you're in to put it in to pay for the bar-

• 1:48Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 1:49Declan Donnelly?

  You didn't need that detail. But I was there looking for the number, somebody came up to me and went, "Excuse me", oh yeah, he went, "Respect guys".

• 1:57Ant McPartlin?

  No, he didn't, no! Did he?

• 1:59Declan Donnelly?

  He did!

• 2:00Ant McPartlin?

  Amazing!

• 2:01Declan Donnelly?

  I was like, "Oh, he's listening to the podcast!"

• 2:02Ant McPartlin?

  It's the phrase that has caught the imagination of the nation. So much so, people are getting it printed on t-shirts and stuff.

• 2:10Declan Donnelly?

  No, they're not.

• 2:11Ant McPartlin?

  Aren't they?

• 2:12Declan Donnelly?

  They're not.

• 2:13Ant McPartlin?

  Aren't they? Aren't they, guys?

• 2:15Declan Donnelly?

  Shut up.

• 2:16Ant McPartlin?

  Respect, guys!

• 2:17Declan Donnelly?

  Ant is sporting a very fetching, almost Frankie Says Relax style t-shirt.

• 2:24Ant McPartlin?

  Dex says, "Respect guys", but Dex also says-

• 2:30Ant McPartlin?

  Life on the road eh?

• 2:31Declan Donnelly?

  Life on the road eh?

• 2:33Ant McPartlin?

  So you know what?

• 2:34Declan Donnelly?

  Have we got merch?

• 2:35Ant McPartlin?

  That medium was right, that psychic sister was right. This is the first merch.

• 2:40Declan Donnelly?

  That's what she said.

• 2:41Ant McPartlin?

  She said merchandise.

• 2:42Declan Donnelly?

  Merch.

• 2:42Ant McPartlin?

  She said America. So if you're watching, stroke listening, in America, I am wearing the first bit of merch, which will be available, will it be available to buy? You can win it, you can have it. I'm never gonna wear it again. This is only, it's only for comedic purposes.

• 2:58Declan Donnelly?

  It's very nice.

• 2:59Ant McPartlin?

  You like it?

• 2:59Declan Donnelly?

  It's very fetching.

• 3:00Ant McPartlin?

  Good. It's very cheap.

• 3:02Declan Donnelly?

  It's very cheap. It's cheap to touch.

• 3:04Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it is cheap to touch. It's very sweaty. I feel very sweaty in this. Hundred percent polyester.

• 3:09Declan Donnelly?

  Don't stand near any naked flames in that. It could go up.

• 3:11Ant McPartlin?

  It could go up.

• 3:12Declan Donnelly?

  But yeah, a very, very nice reaction to episode one, so we'd better make episode two quite good.

• 3:19Ant McPartlin?

  Okay. We've had some responses from people.

• 3:21Declan Donnelly?

  Lovely feedback.

• 3:22Ant McPartlin?

  Nice feedback.

• 3:23Declan Donnelly?

  We, we enjoyed very much going into the comments and reading more.

• 3:27Ant McPartlin?

  I don't normally like going into the comments, if I'm honest with you. You never read the, if it's a newspaper article about you, like if, if you're in one of the papers and there's like comments at the bottom, never read them.

• 3:37Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 3:37Ant McPartlin?

  That was the first bit of advice we were ever given. Don't read the comments, because anybody that leaves a comment in a newspaper is not gonna leave a nice comment, are they?

• 3:44Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 3:44Ant McPartlin?

  They're not, they're just.

• 3:45Declan Donnelly?

  They've not gone there to praise you, have they?

• 3:46Ant McPartlin?

  They haven't gone there to praise you. And I did it once, and I'll never do it again. Cause it, they're never good. So let's hope that these comments are better.

• 3:56Declan Donnelly?

  Thankfully, I delved into the comments and they were, they were better. Do you want me to read you some of the comments?

• 4:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, please.

• 4:01Declan Donnelly?

  Okay. Laughing and checking in from Western Wisconsin in the States.

• 4:06Ant McPartlin?

  Woo, America!

• 4:08Declan Donnelly?

  Jane was right behind the mystery door.

• 4:10Ant McPartlin?

  So, first merch, second, America. I was hoping that it was gonna be like a TV show in America, not a comment from the States.

• 4:20Declan Donnelly?

  Western Wisconsin as well.

• 4:22Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, Western Wisconsin.

• 4:23Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you so much for the podcast. Hugs and love from Germany.

• 4:26Ant McPartlin?

  Germany!

• 4:27Declan Donnelly?

  Podcast was so good, I could listen to Dec talk over and all day.

• 4:34Declan Donnelly?

  Sorry about that, I was a bit excited by episode one. Jokes aside, great first ep, that's lovely. Next one, I wasn't born-

• 4:40Ant McPartlin?

  No, hold on, hold on, hold on. We can't just move on from that comment. This was so good, I could listen to Dec talk over and all day. So, welcome to my life. Is what I like to say. We're friends, we're best friends. That's what you do. You get excited, you're allowed to jump in, you can talk over them, you can butt in, you can finish off the stories. I've got no problem with that. I've got no problem with your enthusiasm. Sometimes you need to curb it, we know that. But other times, I let you run free, like a little toddler. Just go and have fun. So, go and have fun.

• 5:19Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, took me everything not to jump in there. I wasn't born when Dec wrote the diary entry.

• 5:24Ant McPartlin?

  Good for you. Well done, well, well done being younger than us. Well done.

• 5:29Declan Donnelly?

  Enjoy your youth.

• 5:30Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, well done.

• 5:32Declan Donnelly?

  I'm jealous of you. Enjoying the podcast could do with it being longer.

• 5:35Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 5:35Declan Donnelly?

  That's positive.

• 5:36Ant McPartlin?

  That, that's fair enough, that, that means they liked it and they want a bit more.

• 5:39Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, because the opposite of that was, enjoy the podcast, it could do with being shorter.

• 5:43Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 5:43Declan Donnelly?

  You don't want that kind of feedback.

• 5:45Ant McPartlin?

  Just relax and chat to each other, we'll watch. What, are you relaxed? What are you talking about? I am relaxed. I'm not relaxed now, now I'm annoyed.

• 5:55Ant McPartlin?

  Who puts that? Just relax and chat, and that's what we're doing? That's the whole point of a podcast? Jeez, who wants that, me mother?

• 6:04Declan Donnelly?

  Hey, just relax.

• 6:05Ant McPartlin?

  Just relax?

• 6:06Declan Donnelly?

  Relax.

• 6:07Speaker 02

  Frankie says relax.

• 6:08Ant McPartlin?

  That's what it should say. I need to get, just relax.

• 6:12Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 6:12Ant McPartlin?

  Just relax t-shirt for next week.

• 6:14Declan Donnelly?

  It's not a podcast till you both drop the F-word.

• 6:19Declan Donnelly?

  We'll have to bleep that.

• 6:20Ant McPartlin?

  We will bleep that.

• 6:20Declan Donnelly?

  We've got to bleep that.

• 6:21Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I'm trying not to swear.

• 6:23Declan Donnelly?

  Just relax, whatever you do on this, won't affect your TV stuff. Good first round though.

• 6:28Ant McPartlin?

  Why are they mentioning relax as well?

• 6:30Declan Donnelly?

  You obviously didn't look that relaxed on the first set.

• 6:32Ant McPartlin?

  It's like saying to someone, calm down. Then that's a whole, do you know what I mean?

• 6:35Declan Donnelly?

  It does the opposite.

• 6:36Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, well, we're not gonna just swear for the sake of it.

• 6:38Declan Donnelly?

  So, we will try not to swear, so, go f yourself. We'll have to bleep that.

• 6:44Ant McPartlin?

  As well. Although, it's lovely to say, isn't it?

• 6:47Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it is, it is good.

• 6:48Ant McPartlin?

  We're all adults, we can say it.

• 6:50Declan Donnelly?

  But we're bleeping it.

• 6:50Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we're bleeping it.

• 6:53Ant McPartlin?

  How's your week been?

• 6:54Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it's been alright.

• 6:55Ant McPartlin?

  I'm relaxing and just chatting now.

• 6:56Declan Donnelly?

  Just, just relaxing, chat.

• 6:57Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I'll tell you what I did do this week.

• 6:59Declan Donnelly?

  Go on.

• 6:59Ant McPartlin?

  Which is probably the most, most boring bit of information ever.

• 7:04Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that's a great trailer, that. Put that in the trailer.

• 7:06Ant McPartlin?

  I bought a load of new underwear, right?

• 7:08Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, God.

• 7:09Ant McPartlin?

  No, because when we moved house, you know, like you just bring everything, don't you? And then you think, right.

• 7:14Declan Donnelly?

  You bring your underpants.

• 7:15Ant McPartlin?

  Of course you bring your, yeah, you bring everything. Your socks, underpants, all your clothes, obviously. And then I'm like, right, I'm gonna sort it out. And the drawers just fall. So I'm gonna sort all this out.

• 7:24Declan Donnelly?

  Of pants and socks?

• 7:25Ant McPartlin?

  Pants and socks. And I'm like, I need, I need some new underwear. Like, I've had these for years, like, a decade.

• 7:31Declan Donnelly?

  I think you could all probably go to HR after this.

• 7:34Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 7:34Declan Donnelly?

  Conversation. I'm not sure we should be telling you this.

• 7:36Ant McPartlin?

  Like, I've, I've held on them too long, right? So, some, some were threadbare, right?

• 7:43Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, my God.

• 7:44Ant McPartlin?

  Some were a bit like.

• 7:44Declan Donnelly?

  Where is this going?

• 7:46Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I'm gonna tell you. So, I thought I'm just gonna order, I'm just gonna get rid of them and get some new stuff, right? Brand new house, brand new drawers, let's put some.

• 7:55Declan Donnelly?

  New year.

• 7:56Ant McPartlin?

  New year, new me, new underwear. So, I ordered some, but as I was, clearly, as I was clicking on what to buy, I thought I was buying one. It was a pack of three came, right? But I ordered multiple versions of the one. So I thought I was choosing six pairs. But I was choosing six packets of three. So whatever the max is.

• 8:21Declan Donnelly?

  Eighteen?

• 8:22Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, this box comes like this, right? And I didn't, when I clicked through, I've just clicked through, I put there, bang, didn't even like thought, what, six pairs of underpants? How bad can that be? I can't even tell you out loud the price. I could tell you, I'd whisper in your ear, because it seems flashy. And it, but it wasn't. It was a genuine mistake.

• 8:40Declan Donnelly?

  You can't use the word flashy talking about your underpants. Oh, your, your underpants are flashy. His underpants are flashy.

• 8:53Declan Donnelly?

  I was gonna immediately tell you the price, but I can't.

• 8:56Ant McPartlin?

  You can't?

• 8:57Speaker 02

  If we guess, we'll know.

• 8:57Ant McPartlin?

  No, you can't, you can't. No one should know. Your wife can never find out. So as long as I don't mention it on the podcast or anything, she'll never know.

• 9:06Speaker 02

  Are they worth it though, are they?

• 9:07Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, oh, they're really silky smooth. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they're really, I mean, they're the best on the pants I've ever worn, ever.

• 9:14Declan Donnelly?

  They wanna be?

• 9:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, they are.

• 9:17Ant McPartlin?

  Feel that I'm wearing nothing at all.

• 9:19Declan Donnelly?

  And actually.

• 9:19Ant McPartlin?

  And I can stretch, I can bend, I can do anything.

• 9:22Declan Donnelly?

  Go on, go on then. Watch this.

• 9:24Ant McPartlin?

  Look at this!

• 9:25Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my god!

• 9:27Declan Donnelly?

  He couldn't do that before.

• 9:35Declan Donnelly?

  You nearly said it!

• 9:35Ant McPartlin?

  I nearly said it, I nearly said it. I nearly said it. I'm sweating, I've got a sweat. But that's fine, because they're very breathable. Sweat as much as you want.

• 9:44Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my goodness, that is incredible.

• 9:47Ant McPartlin?

  What a price, huh?

• 9:49Speaker 02

  I wanna know.

• 9:50Ant McPartlin?

  Huh? You'll never know. I can never tell. If you're watching this or listening to this, if I meet you personally on the street, I'll tell you. Personally, but I'm not gonna just broadcast.

• 9:59Declan Donnelly?

  If you wanna know, if you see Aunt out and about, just say, "How much were your pants?" And then you, and then he'll know you've listened to the pod.

• 10:06Ant McPartlin?

  Exactly.

• 10:07Declan Donnelly?

  And he'll tell you face to face.

• 10:08Ant McPartlin?

  And because of your loyalty, I will tell you face to face.

• 10:11Declan Donnelly?

  That's, that's good.

• 10:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Unless you're my wife, and I must hide it from you at all costs.

• 10:16Declan Donnelly?

  So just, "Hey Aunt, how much were your pants?"

• 10:18Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 10:18Declan Donnelly?

  And you'll tell them.

• 10:19Ant McPartlin?

  I will tell them.

• 10:20Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, great.

• 10:21Ant McPartlin?

  That is my promise to you.

• 10:23Declan Donnelly?

  My pledge to you.

• 10:24Ant McPartlin?

  My pledge to you, the listener, strong viewer.

• 10:26Declan Donnelly?

  And then he will give you a little flash.

• 10:28Ant McPartlin?

  No, I won't be, no, no, no, no, no.

• 10:33Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I took it too far there. I went too far. Look, he's disgusted.

• 10:36Ant McPartlin?

  That's what you get for talking over me, you see. My week's been pretty full on, as you know.

• 10:42Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, yes.

• 10:43Ant McPartlin?

  So, we done the podcast last week, and during the podcast.

• 10:46Declan Donnelly?

  You said to me.

• 10:47Ant McPartlin?

  I said, "I've got a bit of an itchy eye."

• 10:48Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 10:48Ant McPartlin?

  Didn't I?

• 10:49Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, you see, I think I might have a stye coming.

• 10:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yes. That was, so we done the podcast, then the next day, we didn't do any work, so we didn't see each other.

• 10:56Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 10:57Ant McPartlin?

  This happened to me, I.

• 10:59Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my goodness.

• 11:00Ant McPartlin?

  Look at that.

• 11:01Declan Donnelly?

  If you're just listening, there is a picture on the screen of Ant and he looks like you've had a whack in the eye.

• 11:07Ant McPartlin?

  It looks like, you know, when you watch Rocky and at the end, there's all the prosthetics and he's been beaten up and he's got a big black eye. It looks like prosthetics.

• 11:15Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my goodness.

• 11:15Ant McPartlin?

  If you can't see this, subscribe to Belterbox, right? It's worth it. It's worth it.

• 11:19Declan Donnelly?

  You need to have a look at this.

• 11:20Speaker 02

  That's the biggest eye I've ever seen.

• 11:23Ant McPartlin?

  I think, well, I'd.

• 11:24Speaker 03

  You look like Bear Grylls when you got stunned by Dean.

• 11:28Ant McPartlin?

  That's what it looks like.

• 11:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:29Ant McPartlin?

  So that blew up.

• 11:31Declan Donnelly?

  Is it a star?

• 11:32Ant McPartlin?

  No, it said it's a blocked tear duct, but it.

• 11:35Declan Donnelly?

  You need to cry more.

• 11:36Ant McPartlin?

  Well, apparently I do need to cry more.

• 11:38Speaker 03

  Relax and cry.

• 11:38Ant McPartlin?

  Shut up. You'll make me cry.

• 11:41Declan Donnelly?

  I bet you cried a minute.

• 11:43Ant McPartlin?

  So I'm on antibiotics. This was me in the pharmacy getting the antibiotics and you can see my eyes barred. You can tell by my expression, I'm not in the best of moods because my eyes like this on my day off, through my day off. But as I picked up the antibiotics, the pharmacist asked for a selfie.

• 12:01Declan Donnelly?

  No way.

• 12:01Ant McPartlin?

  I swear to God. And that is not just for comedic effect because I'm doing the podcast, the story on the podcast. He's like, do you mind if I selfie mate? I'm like, now? I mean, of course I said yes, but somewhere out there.

• 12:13Declan Donnelly?

  The pharmacist.

• 12:14Ant McPartlin?

  There's a pharmacist with a picture of me and him.

• 12:18Ant McPartlin?

  So if you're listening to this and it's you, our pharmacist, send in the picture, will you?

• 12:23Declan Donnelly?

  Did you? You didn't try and cover it like Gabrielle or anything like that?

• 12:26Ant McPartlin?

  Kind of stand, tried to stand in front of the chapsticks, you know, the things at the front of the chemist like that to try and try and hide it. Oh no. Try and hide it a bit, but it was too big. You couldn't, there's no hiding that.

• 12:37Declan Donnelly?

  That is amazing.

• 12:38Ant McPartlin?

  So it took a while to go down, right? Like days to go down and I saw you since, didn't I?

• 12:42Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 12:42Ant McPartlin?

  It was bigger. It's getting, it's getting better. It's still not fully gone, but then we did Graham Norton. And it was still there. So we had to get lots of makeup on it and Claude, who does all makeup is, she's great, isn't she? She's, she's the best, best in the business. She, she is. She's a witch, a white witch. So yeah, it felt like there was, it was brought with an orange. That's how bad it felt. It's getting better.

• 13:05Declan Donnelly?

  Not a banana.

• 13:07Ant McPartlin?

  Not a banana. Maybe too many bananas.

• 13:09Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe it's too many bananas.

• 13:09Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my God.

• 13:11Declan Donnelly?

  This would be a disaster.

• 13:13Speaker 03

  That would ruin your life.

• 13:14Ant McPartlin?

  That would ruin my life. I love bananas.

• 13:16Speaker 03

  Is that your main food group?

• 13:17Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it's my main food group. That and meat. That and meat from the butchers.

• 13:21Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, talking of meat.

• 13:23Ant McPartlin?

  Uh huh.

• 13:23Declan Donnelly?

  Have we got a butcher update? We were all on tender hooks after the first episode.

• 13:28Ant McPartlin?

  Tender hooks, I like it.

• 13:29Declan Donnelly?

  It's good. Because you trailed that you were gonna try his kebabs.

• 13:32Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 13:33Declan Donnelly?

  In episode one. How were the kebabs?

• 13:35Ant McPartlin?

  I've tried the chicken kebabs, which were marinated in like a peri peri sauce. Magnificent.

• 13:41Declan Donnelly?

  Magnificent.

• 13:42Ant McPartlin?

  Really good, really juicy, really big. There's a lot of them.

• 13:45Declan Donnelly?

  Whoa.

• 13:46Ant McPartlin?

  And then we had beef kebabs.

• 13:49Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 13:49Ant McPartlin?

  Kept them for the weekend.

• 13:50Declan Donnelly?

  Interested in these.

• 13:51Ant McPartlin?

  It's spicy, I like them.

• 13:51Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I like that.

• 13:52Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you like that. Next time you come out, I'll make it then.

• 13:53Declan Donnelly?

  Great.

• 13:54Ant McPartlin?

  They're really good. And I went to go to get a big joint of meat for me Sunday roast, but it's not open on Sunday. So I should have checked that before I went into town.

• 14:04Declan Donnelly?

  Also, you've left that late if you're gonna get your meat on a Sunday for your Sunday roast.

• 14:08Ant McPartlin?

  He's up early, isn't he? Wilders up at like 6am. So I thought, he's up early, I'll play with him for a bit, I can get down there at nine o'clock. I can still have it in the oven by 10, eat at 3.

• 14:19Declan Donnelly?

  Do you not plan what you're gonna eat for a Sunday roast before the Sunday?

• 14:24Ant McPartlin?

  In me head.

• 14:25Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, like on Wednesday, I'm going.

• 14:26Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean?

• 14:27Declan Donnelly?

  On Wednesday, I'll go pork this Sunday.

• 14:30Ant McPartlin?

  But when do you buy it?

• 14:32Declan Donnelly?

  Friday or Saturday.

• 14:33Ant McPartlin?

  From?

• 14:34Declan Donnelly?

  The butcher.

• 14:35Ant McPartlin?

  So you've got a butcher.

• 14:38Declan Donnelly?

  I do have a butcher.

• 14:39Ant McPartlin?

  You failed to mention your butcher.

• 14:40Declan Donnelly?

  I do have a butcher.

• 14:40Ant McPartlin?

  Come on, tell us, tell us more.

• 14:42Declan Donnelly?

  He's just, he's been there for many, many years.

• 14:45Ant McPartlin?

  Uh huh.

• 14:46Declan Donnelly?

  And I am just hooked on his sausages.

• 14:49Ant McPartlin?

  See, again, a butcherism there.

• 14:51Declan Donnelly?

  Great sausages. Pork and leek sausages.

• 14:54Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, lovely.

• 14:55Declan Donnelly?

  They're the best.

• 14:56Ant McPartlin?

  Does he have a private reg?

• 14:58Declan Donnelly?

  No, he doesn't.

• 14:58Ant McPartlin?

  He doesn't?

• 14:59Declan Donnelly?

  Doesn't.

• 14:59Ant McPartlin?

  Shame. Sausage would be a good private reg, wouldn't it?

• 15:02Declan Donnelly?

  Wouldn't it?

• 15:02Ant McPartlin?

  If you're out there and you've got the private reg sausage, please send in a picture, because I'd like to see it.

• 15:08Declan Donnelly?

  Somebody's got the sausage reg.

• 15:10Ant McPartlin?

  Send us a picture of your sausage.

• 15:12Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 15:12Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, what?

• 15:13Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 15:13Ant McPartlin?

  It's all gonna be dark, isn't it?

• 15:14Declan Donnelly?

  Don't do that. Don't do that.

• 15:16Ant McPartlin?

  So yeah, that was my week, yours?

• 15:18Declan Donnelly?

  We did Graham Norton. Had a very nice time on Graham Norton. Sat next to the lovely Claire Foy.

• 15:25Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 15:25Declan Donnelly?

  Well, here's the thing, it wasn't on the show, this just came out in conversation. She told us that she was a runner on CD UK.

• 15:34Speaker 02

  No way.

• 15:35Ant McPartlin?

  Oh yeah, she was.

• 15:36Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 15:36Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 15:37Declan Donnelly?

  Well, her first job in telly, she was a runner on CD UK, which got me thinking about people that we've worked with who've gone on to become famous. One of the hairy bikers used to pick us up from school.

• 15:48Speaker 02

  What? What? That's a little... And what, like, she's just got in his car?

• 15:52Ant McPartlin?

  Si King.

• 15:53Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 15:53Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 15:54Speaker 02

  On his bike?

• 15:54Declan Donnelly?

  Si King was a runner on Byker Grove and used to come and pick us up from school to take us to Byker Grove.

• 16:01Ant McPartlin?

  And he's red Sierra.

• 16:03Declan Donnelly?

  Sierra, yeah.

• 16:03Ant McPartlin?

  Ford Sierra. Yeah, very nice man. We've seen him since and we talk about it. He's a very, very nice man.

• 16:09Declan Donnelly?

  Never had any lovely little treats for us to eat on the way home.

• 16:11Ant McPartlin?

  It did.

• 16:12Declan Donnelly?

  Nah, he could have pulled his finger out and had a bit of cooking then.

• 16:14Ant McPartlin?

  Cottage pie and the passenger seat. That would have been nice, wouldn't it?

• 16:17Declan Donnelly?

  On the way to Byker Grove, that would have been lovely.

• 16:19Ant McPartlin?

  I'd have a sausage roll, home cooked.

• 16:23Declan Donnelly?

  We've had some ideas for movies for us two.

• 16:25Ant McPartlin?

  Have we?

• 16:26Declan Donnelly?

  Into the pod this week. Shall we read them?

• 16:28Ant McPartlin?

  Do you want to start? Shall I start? This is from Chloe. I think you two would be good in a film where two detectives.

• 16:34Declan Donnelly?

  There you go, you see.

• 16:35Ant McPartlin?

  And Dex, thank you. So, I like the way she clarified, it has to be us two.

• 16:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 16:40Ant McPartlin?

  You'd hope so, considering she sent this into us two. We solve murder cases together and basically they're like twins, so they can read each other's minds, which helps them solve the cases together.

• 16:52Declan Donnelly?

  How would that?

• 16:53Ant McPartlin?

  How does that work? How does it help if I can read Dex's mind? I don't want to read Dex's mind.

• 16:58Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 17:00Ant McPartlin?

  I really, I really don't.

• 17:02Declan Donnelly?

  I mean, that wouldn't help you find the murderer.

• 17:04Ant McPartlin?

  That wouldn't.

• 17:05Declan Donnelly?

  Just read in my mind. I don't know who the murderer is, so don't read my mind. No.

• 17:09Ant McPartlin?

  There's no point. You want to read the murderer's mind or the victim's mind. Somebody's mind.

• 17:14Declan Donnelly?

  The dead victim's mind.

• 17:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, not each other's minds. Thank you, Chloe, but that's not a good idea. We won't be making that. We won't be making that.

• 17:19Declan Donnelly?

  I've got one here. This one is an experimental short film.

• 17:23Ant McPartlin?

  Hold on, an experimental short film? That sounds awful.

• 17:27Declan Donnelly?

  It's, it's experimental for one, so it's an experiment.

• 17:31Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 17:32Declan Donnelly?

  And it's short.

• 17:32Ant McPartlin?

  That's good. That is good. It's one good, short. It's a short film.

• 17:36Declan Donnelly?

  I want, I want a, I want a proper long film.

• 17:38Ant McPartlin?

  You don't like long films?

• 17:40Declan Donnelly?

  No, up to two hours.

• 17:42Ant McPartlin?

  Right, if you don't know this about Dec, he cannot watch a movie that is longer than two hours.

• 17:48Declan Donnelly?

  Too boring.

• 17:48Ant McPartlin?

  It's not boring. Some of the greatest movies ever made are over two hours. They are.

• 17:53Declan Donnelly?

  Not for me, they're not.

• 17:54Ant McPartlin?

  Go on, sorry, back to, back to this then.

• 17:56Declan Donnelly?

  We've only got as far as experimental and short.

• 17:57Ant McPartlin?

  Experimental.

• 17:59Declan Donnelly?

  Short film. The film is titled

• 18:03Declan Donnelly?

  John.

• 18:05Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, which one of us plays John?

• 18:07Declan Donnelly?

  It follows an aspiring filmmaker, alone in a cafe, watching the world go by.

• 18:13Ant McPartlin?

  Boring.

• 18:15Declan Donnelly?

  What unfolds is a subtle introspective meditation on creativity, ambition, and the unseen power of storytelling. A reminder that even the smallest moments can shape a future. There's no plot. There's no plot.

• 18:29Ant McPartlin?

  What is this? No, thanks. We're not doing that one.

• 18:33Declan Donnelly?

  Unfortunately.

• 18:34Ant McPartlin?

  We're not making John and we're not making, this doesn't even have a title, this one.

• 18:39Declan Donnelly?

  It's just the mind-reading detectives.

• 18:42Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 18:42Declan Donnelly?

  Both film ideas this week are

• 18:48Declan Donnelly?

  I like that.

• 18:49Ant McPartlin?

  Trombone.

• 18:49Declan Donnelly?

  I found that.

• 18:51Ant McPartlin?

  But, thank you for sending them in.

• 18:53Declan Donnelly?

  Respect, guys.

• 18:54Ant McPartlin?

  Respect, guys. Thank you. Thank you for sending in.

• 18:57Declan Donnelly?

  Respect, guys.

• 18:58Ant McPartlin?

  Respect, guys. I respect you engaging with the podcast. If you have any film ideas, you can send them in to us at [email protected].

• 19:08Declan Donnelly?

  The bar is very low.

• 19:09Ant McPartlin?

  It's very low. There isn't even a bar. The bar's on the ground. The bar is on the grass.

• 19:13Declan Donnelly?

  Now, you know me. I love a day. I love a day.

• 19:17Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 19:18Declan Donnelly?

  I love a day.

• 19:19Ant McPartlin?

  A day?

• 19:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 19:20Ant McPartlin?

  Well, of course you love a day. You love a day, you love a night. What are you talking about, you idiot?

• 19:23Declan Donnelly?

  You know, like, National Dog Day.

• 19:26Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, yes, yes, yes.

• 19:27Declan Donnelly?

  National Pizza Week.

• 19:28Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, National Burger Day, National Sandwich Week, all that nonsense.

• 19:32Declan Donnelly?

  That's when we started doing Taste Mates, I was like, let's just do days. Let's do fun days.

• 19:37Ant McPartlin?

  He gets quite obsessed about things like this, doesn't he though? You know, you work with him. He's quite obsessive when it comes to the, come on then, what's today?

• 19:43Declan Donnelly?

  Today?

• 19:44Ant McPartlin?

  National Tickling Day!

• 19:46Declan Donnelly?

  It's National Tittle Day. No, it's National Puzzle Day.

• 19:50Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, God.

• 19:51Declan Donnelly?

  I love a puzzle.

• 19:52Ant McPartlin?

  I don't like a puzzle.

• 19:53Declan Donnelly?

  Why not?

• 19:53Ant McPartlin?

  My brain doesn't work that way. Were you one of those people in school when it was, you know, a maths question and it's a really long puzzle and you've got to work out how many apples is there? It's like, no, no, no, I just switch off.

• 20:06Declan Donnelly?

  Do you like Sudoku?

• 20:07Ant McPartlin?

  No way.

• 20:08Declan Donnelly?

  I like a Sudoku on a plane, yeah.

• 20:10Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean on a plane? Watch a film?

• 20:14Ant McPartlin?

  Who's doing Sudoku on a?

• 20:15Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I like it.

• 20:16Ant McPartlin?

  What are you on about?

• 20:17Declan Donnelly?

  A Sudoku on the plane?

• 20:19Ant McPartlin?

  No, I heard you, but have you heard yourself? Nobody does that.

• 20:23Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, do you know how far Australia is?

• 20:25Ant McPartlin?

  I know, because I fly the same flight as you. And I watch a movie, I put me little pyjamas on, and I watch a movie.

• 20:32Declan Donnelly?

  He's got very little pyjamas.

• 20:35Declan Donnelly?

  Anyway.

• 20:36Ant McPartlin?

  Good underwear though, expensive.

• 20:38Declan Donnelly?

  Expensive.

• 20:39Ant McPartlin?

  Expensive underwear.

• 20:40Declan Donnelly?

  He'll be strutting up and down the island, just his pants next to air.

• 20:43Ant McPartlin?

  Doing lunges. Have you seen me do a lunge? Down the middle of the eye, you know why? Test out the gusset and it won't rip.

• 20:50Declan Donnelly?

  It's National Puzzle Day. So I've asked the girls to put some puzzles together.

• 20:54Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 20:54Declan Donnelly?

  For me and thee.

• 20:55Ant McPartlin?

  Do you know, do you know what they are?

• 20:57Declan Donnelly?

  No, I don't.

• 20:57Ant McPartlin?

  So we've got to try and, what do you do? Do you?

• 21:00Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I thought, I thought we could work together and read each other's mind. To try and.

• 21:04Ant McPartlin?

  Find out who the murderer is.

• 21:07Declan Donnelly?

  To try and work the puzzle out. Who's, has anybody got any?

• 21:10Speaker 03

  Um, what has four wheels and flies?

• 21:13Ant McPartlin?

  What has four wheels?

• 21:15Speaker 03

  And flies.

• 21:16Ant McPartlin?

  And flies?

• 21:17Declan Donnelly?

  Aeroplane.

• 21:18Ant McPartlin?

  It's, it's not going to be an aeroplane, is it? Because that's not a puzzle.

• 21:25Ant McPartlin?

  That's just a question. What has wings and flies? A bird? Correct, well done. What has four wheels? Four wheels.

• 21:32Declan Donnelly?

  Four wheels. What? Give us a chat.

• 21:35Ant McPartlin?

  Shall I tell you? No?

• 21:37Declan Donnelly?

  Literally out of a 10 seconds.

• 21:39Ant McPartlin?

  What has four wheels? And flat, you see, I find with these kind of puzzles, if you just keep saying it, eventually the answer will drop into your brain. From the universe.

• 21:50Declan Donnelly?

  Hang on a minute. What? Has? Four wheels? What has four? Wheels? What, what is four wheels? What is four wheels?

• 22:02Ant McPartlin?

  What is four wheels? Are you four wheel? Am I four wheel? Are we four wheel? Is this four wheel?

• 22:09Declan Donnelly?

  What has? Four wheels?

• 22:13Declan Donnelly?

  What has, what has, hang on, what has four wheels?

• 22:16Ant McPartlin?

  I told you, what, how, how did I know?

• 22:21Ant McPartlin?

  Just relax and chat. We don't need this nonsense.

• 22:25Declan Donnelly?

  What has four wheels?

• 22:26Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, a car.

• 22:27Declan Donnelly?

  And flies. Not, not, it doesn't fly, it has flies. It has the insect.

• 22:34Ant McPartlin?

  What has four wheels?

• 22:35Declan Donnelly?

  And flies.

• 22:37Ant McPartlin?

  A, a, a fly infested car.

• 22:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 22:41Speaker 02

  A dustbin van.

• 22:42Ant McPartlin?

  A dustbin van.

• 22:45Declan Donnelly?

  Good.

• 22:46Ant McPartlin?

  It's not good, it's not good.

• 22:47Declan Donnelly?

  It's not good, it's not good.

• 22:48Ant McPartlin?

  It's unsatisfactory.

• 22:50Declan Donnelly?

  It is unsatisfactory. It's a bit, it's a bit smug.

• 22:56Declan Donnelly?

  Isn't it?

• 22:56Ant McPartlin?

  Juvenile.

• 22:57Declan Donnelly?

  It is a bit smug.

• 22:58Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 22:58Declan Donnelly?

  A dustbin van.

• 23:01Ant McPartlin?

  Even the way she said it.

• 23:02Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. A dustbin.

• 23:03Ant McPartlin?

  Anymore? Anymore to bother us with?

• 23:05Speaker 02

  Okay, go on. What has hands but cannot clap?

• 23:09Ant McPartlin?

  A clock. That's easy, that's easy. Come on.

• 23:13Declan Donnelly?

  Be better Lola.

• 23:14Ant McPartlin?

  Be better. Where did you get that from, a cracker?

• 23:17Speaker 02

  What has four fingers and a thumb but isn't alive?

• 23:21Declan Donnelly?

  A glove.

• 23:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:22Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, Lola.

• 23:24Ant McPartlin?

  Did it?

• 23:25Speaker 03

  I shave every day, but my beard stays the same.

• 23:28Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, but do's a riddle Fiona.

• 23:31Ant McPartlin?

  I wouldn't say that on a podcast Fiona.

• 23:34Declan Donnelly?

  Do's a riddle, come on, this is puzzle day.

• 23:37Ant McPartlin?

  Make sure you shave on the day of the wedding, yeah?

• 23:42Ant McPartlin?

  I'm gonna, I'm gonna shave the morning you get married. Actually, the night before in case you cut yourself.

• 23:49Declan Donnelly?

  Sorry, was that a riddle? Go on.

• 23:50Speaker 03

  I just wanted to let you know.

• 23:55Speaker 03

  I shave every day.

• 24:04Ant McPartlin?

  Oh God, I, I never used to like puzzles. I enjoy them now.

• 24:10Declan Donnelly?

  Do it again, do it again.

• 24:11Speaker 03

  I shave every day, but my beard stays the same. Who am I?

• 24:18Ant McPartlin?

  Fiona.

• 24:20Declan Donnelly?

  I shave every day but my beard stays the same.

• 24:27Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I don't know. Nothing's, it's not gonna be, it's not gonna be as good as that. Just never tell us. Go on. Oh, Bob. Oh, yeah, that is a good one.

• 24:37Declan Donnelly?

  That is quite good.

• 24:38Ant McPartlin?

  That is quite, that is good.

• 24:40Declan Donnelly?

  It's better than a dustbin van.

• 24:46Ant McPartlin?

  This podcast is sponsored by Santander, who understand that getting started on a goal isn't easy. And taking a meaningful first step is how progress happens.

• 24:56Declan Donnelly?

  This is all a bit, bit new, bit scary, isn't it?

• 24:58Ant McPartlin?

  It is, isn't it?

• 24:58Declan Donnelly?

  Because I know it's just, we're sitting chatting.

• 25:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 25:01Declan Donnelly?

  And it's what we do a lot of the time. But to, to record it.

• 25:05Ant McPartlin?

  To record it.

• 25:06Declan Donnelly?

  For other people to listen to it.

• 25:07Ant McPartlin?

  To listen to is just a bit, yeah, scary.

• 25:10Declan Donnelly?

  Scary.

• 25:10Ant McPartlin?

  We kind of put it off for a while, didn't we? We kind of wanted to do it for a while, but we just kept putting it off.

• 25:15Declan Donnelly?

  Didn't take the plunge.

• 25:16Ant McPartlin?

  Too nervous.

• 25:17Declan Donnelly?

  I have to admit, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.

• 25:20Ant McPartlin?

  I've had a few sleepless nights, especially last night. Didn't sleep a lot.

• 25:24Declan Donnelly?

  But now we're here, I'm actually really enjoying it.

• 25:26Ant McPartlin?

  I am. I've had a laugh today.

• 25:28Declan Donnelly?

  I'm having fun.

• 25:28Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it's good.

• 25:29Declan Donnelly?

  Which has been really nice.

• 25:30Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 25:30Declan Donnelly?

  So I know it was all nerve wracking. It was a bit of a nerve shredder.

• 25:35Ant McPartlin?

  But it was worth it.

• 25:36Declan Donnelly?

  It was worth it in the end.

• 25:37Ant McPartlin?

  It was.

• 25:37Declan Donnelly?

  And that's what Santander is doing, giving people the confidence to take that first step towards a goal that matters to them.

• 25:44Ant McPartlin?

  Santander, it starts here.

• 25:47Declan Donnelly?

  This podcast is brought to you by Gemini, Google's personal AI assistant. So you're trying to expand your vocabulary?

• 25:54Ant McPartlin?

  I am.

• 25:54Declan Donnelly?

  So you want more?

• 25:55Ant McPartlin?

  I want more words I can use.

• 25:58Declan Donnelly?

  Round the kids.

• 25:59Ant McPartlin?

  That aren't swear words.

• 26:00Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, that always helps.

• 26:02Ant McPartlin?

  Shall I use Gemini?

• 26:04Declan Donnelly?

  Give it a bash.

• 26:04Ant McPartlin?

  Shall I?

• 26:05Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 26:05Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 26:05Declan Donnelly?

  See what they can come up with.

• 26:06Ant McPartlin?

  Hi Gemini, what are some baby friendly words I can use instead of swear words?

• 26:13Speaker 04

  That's a good idea. You could use silly words like blimey or jeepers.

• 26:18Declan Donnelly?

  Is there anything a bit more modern, a bit more Gen Z?

• 26:23Speaker 04

  In that case, you could use things like bra, that's wild, or just a dramatic oof.

• 26:31Ant McPartlin?

  I mean, if I say the word bra, it feels like I'm trying a bit too hard. Gemini, what does beast mode mean?

• 26:40Speaker 04

  It means putting in maximum effort and determination to achieve something. Does that make sense?

• 26:46Ant McPartlin?

  It does. I could use that.

• 26:47Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 26:48Ant McPartlin?

  You should enter beast mode when tidying those toys away.

  Do we have a new diary entry this week?

• 27:27Declan Donnelly?

  Well.

• 27:27Ant McPartlin?

  It was a big hit. I mean, respect guys. Respect guys. We all want to hear what happened at Radio Coventry.

• 27:34Declan Donnelly?

  My toes have just uncurled from my shoes. Um, it's here, shall I?

• 27:39Ant McPartlin?

  Get it out, get it out. Cause also I've prepared on the screen behind us. I thought I'd do a little title card. Try and produce this up a little bit.

• 27:46Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 27:50Ant McPartlin?

  If you can't see this, this is an image of Dex on his bed.

• 27:57Ant McPartlin?

  With curtains, uh, he's got his diary, he's got his pen. And it was like he was 19 on his very colourful bedspread.

• 28:08Declan Donnelly?

  It kinda, it kinda looks like me.

• 28:11Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I think it's pretty good. I actually have a response from your diary last week.

• 28:15Declan Donnelly?

  Send it over.

• 28:18Declan Donnelly?

  That was amazing.

• 28:19Ant McPartlin?

  Who did that?

• 28:20Declan Donnelly?

  Those of you listening, Gemma just threw in an incredible.

• 28:24Ant McPartlin?

  I didn't make it. Paper plane.

• 28:25Declan Donnelly?

  Who made that?

• 28:25Ant McPartlin?

  Lucy. Well done Lucy. A wonderful set designer made that. Thank you Lucy.

• 28:30Declan Donnelly?

  Why don't you read it? Save me putting me specs on.

• 28:32Ant McPartlin?

  This is from Carrie. Hey guys, have a listen to your podcast, which was absolutely brilliant. Thank you, Carrie.

• 28:39Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks, Carrie. Just leave that there. Just finish there.

• 28:42Ant McPartlin?

  I'll make a plain now instead. Uh, no, she says, when Dex started reading his diary, I realised I was there. I was at Portsmouth Guildhall on the 28th of March, 1994.

• 28:55Declan Donnelly?

  No way.

• 28:55Ant McPartlin?

  Me and my friend Steph had got a National Express bus. God, I remember them, uh, as excited 15 year olds and travelling. From Devon, where the best time and loved the whole show. So funny and I can't quite believe that was 32 years ago. Thanks guys, loving the podcast, carry.

• 29:11Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that is amazing.

• 29:13Ant McPartlin?

  Wow.

• 29:13Declan Donnelly?

  I sometimes think about that, like, people who came to our shows and stuff when we were younger. What are they doing now? And also, the kids that are on Challenge Ant, or the kids that I shouted at on Wonky Donkey. I would love to know, like.

• 29:26Ant McPartlin?

  If you were a kid on Challenge Ant and we, like, say I beat you or you beat me. I'd love to do a rematch with the kids now. Wouldn't that be good?

• 29:34Declan Donnelly?

  We should do that on the pod.

• 29:35Ant McPartlin?

  Shall we do it? Yeah, so if you were one of the kids on Challenge Ant and you'd like a rematch. Cause I beat you, or you beat me and I'd like a rematch, then yeah, get in touch. Show us a picture, we need proof.

• 29:47Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 29:47Ant McPartlin?

  Proof of you then, and then and only then, I'll take you back on.

• 29:52Declan Donnelly?

  That'd be great. I'd love to hear from kids who've done Challenge Ant and Wonky Donkey.

• 29:56Ant McPartlin?

  And pictures if they come and see PJ Duncan, that'd be cool.

• 29:59Declan Donnelly?

  That'd be really good. That'd get the old memory juices flowing.

• 30:03Ant McPartlin?

  It would, wouldn't it?

• 30:04Declan Donnelly?

  Would you like to know where we were on the 29th of March, 1994?

• 30:07Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I so would, but I so wouldn't at the same time.

• 30:11Declan Donnelly?

  Day two.

• 30:12Ant McPartlin?

  Day two.

• 30:13Declan Donnelly?

  Didn't get to sleep last night till after 3am.

• 30:15Ant McPartlin?

  3am? Cause if you go back to the diary from yesterday, it was 1am. And you said, I'd best go to sleep now, it's 1am.

• 30:22Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 30:23Ant McPartlin?

  So what happened in the next two hours?

• 30:25Declan Donnelly?

  I've no idea. Maybe I sat up writing my diary.

• 30:29Ant McPartlin?

  Was that storing?

• 30:30Declan Donnelly?

  Probably. Surprisingly, I wasn't too tired today. We set off at 12.15.

• 30:36Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 30:37Declan Donnelly?

  We set off at 12.15 for Radio Coventry in the car.

• 30:40Ant McPartlin?

  Tell everybody that they're working like a dog. When you, when you do pop star stuff, they're working like a dog. We're not starting our day till 12.15. That's not working hard, is it?

• 30:49Declan Donnelly?

  No, it's not. I remember these days being a lot harder than this. The cards arrived at the hotel in Bristol. They've arrived, the cards have arrived, guys.

• 30:57Ant McPartlin?

  The autograph cards.

• 30:58Declan Donnelly?

  So they helped a lot.

• 31:02Ant McPartlin?

  How did they help?

• 31:04Declan Donnelly?

  At the radio station, I have no idea.

• 31:06Ant McPartlin?

  Go on.

• 31:06Declan Donnelly?

  But they helped a lot. The cards arrived.

• 31:09Ant McPartlin?

  How is a lot written? In capitals?

• 31:10Declan Donnelly?

  No, just a lot.

• 31:11Ant McPartlin?

  A lot, right. New paragraph.

• 31:13Declan Donnelly?

  At the radio, the station was a small booth thing in a shopping centre.

• 31:20Declan Donnelly?

  But the interview went very well.

• 31:24Declan Donnelly?

  And we were both pleased.

• 31:28Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god.

• 31:29Declan Donnelly?

  So you were pleased too?

• 31:30Ant McPartlin?

  Oh yeah, we were both pleased. Was that you and the interviewer or me and you?

• 31:34Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, could be me and the interviewer.

• 31:36Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I'm irrelevant in this one.

• 31:38Declan Donnelly?

  We travelled to Northampton.

• 31:39Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 31:39Declan Donnelly?

  And arrived in hours of time. That's not like me, is it?

• 31:43Ant McPartlin?

  It's not like you, how things have changed.

• 31:46Declan Donnelly?

  Checked in.

• 31:46Ant McPartlin?

  Into everything.

• 31:47Declan Donnelly?

  Checked into the hotel.

• 31:48Ant McPartlin?

  What was the hotel? Another four day travel lodge?

• 31:51Declan Donnelly?

  We'll come to that. Checked into the hotel and got changed. At the Ritzy, everything was really well organised.

• 31:57Ant McPartlin?

  The Ritzy?

• 31:59Declan Donnelly?

  We're at the Ritzy in Northampton. We had a dressing room, chilled drinks.

• 32:04Ant McPartlin?

  You didn't write chilled drinks. Chilled drinks?

• 32:09Declan Donnelly?

  A sound DJ and

• 32:11Ant McPartlin?

  Oh god.

• 32:12Declan Donnelly?

  Really big security guards.

• 32:16Declan Donnelly?

  Big, big, big.

• 32:19Ant McPartlin?

  You're top man!

• 32:20Declan Donnelly?

  Big is underlined, so they must have been really big.

• 32:26Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god, I need some water.

• 32:29Declan Donnelly?

  The crowd were brilliant and we must have signed over 100 autographs.

• 32:34Ant McPartlin?

  Thank god those cards came, huh?

• 32:36Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm, but

• 32:37Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 32:38Declan Donnelly?

  If they all buy the record, that would be great.

• 32:40Ant McPartlin?

  Is that what you thought?

• 32:41Declan Donnelly?

  Yep.

• 32:41Ant McPartlin?

  It would have been great if they had of.

• 32:43Declan Donnelly?

  The girls got really excited and one girl got hurt, bless her.

• 32:50Declan Donnelly?

  The hotel tonight?

• 32:51Ant McPartlin?

  Is?

• 32:52Declan Donnelly?

  Is another travel lodge.

• 32:53Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 32:54Declan Donnelly?

  Oh good, no hairdryer. I really need one.

• 33:00Declan Donnelly?

  Perhaps there will be one on the, at the photo shoot tomorrow.

• 33:03Ant McPartlin?

  Photo shoot?

• 33:04Declan Donnelly?

  I bloody hope so.

• 33:05Ant McPartlin?

  What, who, for what?

• 33:06Declan Donnelly?

  Signed off.

• 33:08Ant McPartlin?

  Have you autographed your own diary?

• 33:10Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I sign that every page, every entry, I sign it.

• 33:14Ant McPartlin?

  Why was you autographed? Why would you do that? You honestly thought someone was gonna publish your memoirs, didn't you, as we got all that?

• 33:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 33:21Ant McPartlin?

  Well, we're kind of all, that's what we're doing.

• 33:22Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 33:23Ant McPartlin?

  This is what we're doing. Oh my god.

• 33:26Declan Donnelly?

  So we've got a photo shoot tomorrow.

• 33:28Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, don't tell me anymore. I can't wait to find out what it was for. It would have either have been, it wouldn't have been Smash Hits yet, I don't think, because we weren't that popular. So it probably would have been like TV hits or...

• 33:40Declan Donnelly?

  I've just seen him at Twiff.

• 33:43Declan Donnelly?

  I'll put that back, you can find out next week. I'll tell you the photo shoot is with next week.

• 33:46Ant McPartlin?

  Very good.

• 33:47Declan Donnelly?

  Who do you think, who, go on, hang on, who do you think the photo shoot is with?

• 33:50Ant McPartlin?

  Well, the photo shoot, because we weren't that popular, we weren't popular enough to be in Smash Hits then.

• 33:56Declan Donnelly?

  Right.

• 33:56Ant McPartlin?

  So TV hits at a push, that was still pretty, that was a big magazine to get in.

• 34:01Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm.

• 34:02Ant McPartlin?

  Um, not Top of the Pops magazine, that wasn't out then. Jackie, was that, was Jackie a magazine?

• 34:09Declan Donnelly?

  There was like Mizz, Just Seventeen.

• 34:12Ant McPartlin?

  Might have been Just Seventeen.

• 34:13Declan Donnelly?

  Fast Forward.

• 34:14Ant McPartlin?

  Fast Forward magazine, where we met Andy Peters for the first time. Alright, it could be Fast Forward magazine. Oh, I hope so. I can't wait for next week.

• 34:21Declan Donnelly?

  You'll find out next week.

• 34:23Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, it's gold, it's gold. It's cringey but hilarious.

• 34:28Declan Donnelly?

  It's cringey. You wanna be the one who wrote it.

• 34:32Ant McPartlin?

  And not just wrote it, signed it off, Declan?

• 34:37Ant McPartlin?

  We've had quite a lot of correspondence, um, after last week's podcast.

• 34:43Declan Donnelly?

  Amazing.

• 34:43Ant McPartlin?

  Lot of letters, emails. Shall I get the postbag?

• 34:46Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, please.

• 34:47Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, here they are. Would you like to pick a letter, reach it?

• 34:49Declan Donnelly?

  It's not a huge postbag, is it? Remember the ones you used to have on SM TV were like that big?

• 34:54Ant McPartlin?

  We've only been going a week. I don't think it's full of letters. I think someone shoved a jumper in the bottom of it.

• 35:00Declan Donnelly?

  Just to pad it out a bit.

• 35:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, feel the bottom of that, that's the jumper in it.

• 35:03Declan Donnelly?

  Oh yeah, this is definitely close, isn't it?

• 35:04Ant McPartlin?

  We've had a handful of emails, is probably a better way of saying this. Would you like to read one?

• 35:10Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, please.

• 35:10Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I'll take that one.

• 35:11Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you.

• 35:11Ant McPartlin?

  And I'll grab one.

• 35:12Declan Donnelly?

  Get me specs on.

• 35:13Ant McPartlin?

  And then we'll start reading.

• 35:14Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, Ant and Dec, just wanted to give you the heads up that Liam Gallagher has suggested, and I quote.

• 35:19Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 35:20Declan Donnelly?

  These are in quotation marks, "The little fella out of Ant and Dec should play Noel in the inevitable Oasis biopic."

• 35:28Ant McPartlin?

  The little fella.

• 35:29Declan Donnelly?

  And you're presumably eligible for the Liam role.

• 35:32Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 35:32Declan Donnelly?

  Subject to hair, accent and what other criteria Liam decides in that day.

• 35:37Ant McPartlin?

  I could do that. We could play Liam and Noel.

• 35:39Declan Donnelly?

  Do you think?

• 35:39Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Yeah, there was a slight height difference. I met Liam and I'm probably about the same height as him.

• 35:44Declan Donnelly?

  Do you reckon?

• 35:45Ant McPartlin?

  I can pull off the old swagger.

• 35:45Declan Donnelly?

  You can do the swagger.

• 35:46Ant McPartlin?

  I can do the walk.

• 35:47Declan Donnelly?

  You've got a not dissimilar gait to Liam Gallagher.

• 35:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it's true.

• 35:50Declan Donnelly?

  You do have a bit of a swagger. Can you do a Mancunian accent?

• 35:53Ant McPartlin?

  I don't want kid. Is that all right? You snorted like a pig then. Hold on, Lola. That was you. Did you record that?

• 36:02Declan Donnelly?

  Listen.

• 36:04Ant McPartlin?

  That was Lola. Lola, Piggy Lola. Yeah, we could do that. Can you do a Mancunian accent?

• 36:08Declan Donnelly?

  Do you want out from the shop?

• 36:12Declan Donnelly?

  Do you want out from the shop, ah kid? I do, yeah. I want a Tango Ice Blast.

• 36:18Ant McPartlin?

  That's good. That's the kind of thing I think Liam would like because he's quite, he's quite weird like that.

• 36:22Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. Stop your chatting, you're pecking me head.

• 36:26Ant McPartlin?

  That's good. That is good. We are available, aren't we?

• 36:30Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 36:30Ant McPartlin?

  For the, for the Oasis biopic.

• 36:33Declan Donnelly?

  Biopic. I've got to work on the eyebrows though. We both, no, you've got quite good eyebrows.

• 36:37Ant McPartlin?

  I have got, yeah, they're quite Gallagher-esque.

• 36:39Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 36:39Ant McPartlin?

  Just could get a little bit of marker pen, fill in the middle.

• 36:42Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 36:42Ant McPartlin?

  Because they were a bit unibrow when they first started.

• 36:44Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm.

• 36:45Ant McPartlin?

  I do love Oasis though. We went to the shows last summer. Brilliant, weren't they?

• 36:50Declan Donnelly?

  Good, aren't they? We went here in the UK and then I went and saw them in Australia.

• 36:55Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 36:56Declan Donnelly?

  I'm such a big fan. I went to see them in Australia.

• 36:58Ant McPartlin?

  With who?

• 36:59Declan Donnelly?

  With the current Mrs Dunley.

• 37:02Ant McPartlin?

  Wow.

• 37:03Declan Donnelly?

  I went with the wife. Well, I got to Australia before you this year, didn't I?

• 37:06Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. What, to secretly take it in an Oasis show?

• 37:08Declan Donnelly?

  And then I just slunk off to Sydney for the night.

• 37:12Ant McPartlin?

  Did you? Slunk, yeah, good. Did you like it?

• 37:14Declan Donnelly?

  She loved it, yeah.

• 37:15Ant McPartlin?

  Did she like it as much as I would have if you took me as your date?

• 37:18Declan Donnelly?

  Probably not.

• 37:19Ant McPartlin?

  No, see?

• 37:20Declan Donnelly?

  But, um.

• 37:20Ant McPartlin?

  Can she do a Mancunian accent? Bet she can't.

• 37:23Declan Donnelly?

  Two VIP tickets, so I took the wife.

• 37:25Ant McPartlin?

  What VIP tickets?

• 37:27Declan Donnelly?

  VIP, yeah.

• 37:28Ant McPartlin?

  Of who?

• 37:29Declan Donnelly?

  One of the band.

• 37:30Ant McPartlin?

  One of the band?

• 37:31Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm. We got backstage beforehand.

• 37:33Ant McPartlin?

  Shut up. No, you didn't.

• 37:34Declan Donnelly?

  I did. I did.

• 37:36Ant McPartlin?

  Who did you meet?

• 37:38Declan Donnelly?

  All of them.

• 37:39Ant McPartlin?

  Liam Noel.

• 37:40Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm.

• 37:41Ant McPartlin?

  Did you?

• 37:41Declan Donnelly?

  Mm hmm. I didn't really.

• 37:44Ant McPartlin?

  What a little dick. And yet I swore.

• 37:47Declan Donnelly?

  Hey.

• 37:48Ant McPartlin?

  That's just, that's what.

• 37:49Declan Donnelly?

  Just relax.

• 37:52Ant McPartlin?

  We might have a Gallagher-esque falling out in a minute. We might. This is from Nisha. Says, hi team.

• 38:01Speaker 02

  Hey.

• 38:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, come on, a bit more.

• 38:03Declan Donnelly?

  Come on, be a bit more enthusiastic.

• 38:04Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, Nisha says, hi team.

• 38:06Speaker 02

  Hi.

• 38:10Ant McPartlin?

  Love the podcast and hearing you talk about normal life. After Dec mentioned wanting Kevin Keegan as his dinner party guest and then talked about meeting him when he was seven, I remembered he'd shared the photo of that meeting in Smash Hits magazine.

• 38:22Declan Donnelly?

  Did I?

• 38:22Ant McPartlin?

  Many years ago.

• 38:23Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 38:24Ant McPartlin?

  I was a huge fan in my teen years, so I went into my Ant and Dec archives Tesco bag for life under my bed, in brackets, to retrieve the photo. Please find it attached.

• 38:34Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 38:35Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, there it is.

• 38:36Declan Donnelly?

  There it is.

• 38:36Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, well done, Nisha.

• 38:38Declan Donnelly?

  That is brilliant.

• 38:39Ant McPartlin?

  I'm sure Dec has brought in the actual one by now. He hasn't. He forgot. Truth be told, he'd forgotten.

• 38:44Declan Donnelly?

  I did forget, yes. So, thank you, Nisha.

• 38:45Ant McPartlin?

  But I hope this one helps. Looking forward to the next episode. Very best, Nisha. Look at that.

• 38:49Declan Donnelly?

  See, it's true.

• 38:50Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, my god.

• 38:51Declan Donnelly?

  I got awarded to Declan Dolly in recognition of outstanding achievement. I Kevin Keegan's Blue Star Soccer Day.

• 38:57Ant McPartlin?

  That is brilliant. Can we zoom in on the picture of Dec and Kevin Keegan?

• 39:01Speaker 02

  So small.

• 39:01Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you look like Jack.

• 39:04Declan Donnelly?

  I do, love.

• 39:04Ant McPartlin?

  You look like your son there.

• 39:05Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. That is still now one of the best days of my life.

• 39:08Ant McPartlin?

  I bet.

• 39:09Declan Donnelly?

  Meeting Kevin Keegan. He was my idol and, and still is.

• 39:13Ant McPartlin?

  Better than going to see Oasis with your wife in Australia?

• 39:15Declan Donnelly?

  No, that was a brilliant, that was a brilliant night. Met the band and everything.

• 39:19Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, Dick.

• 39:19Declan Donnelly?

  We got any more? Loads, love. We've got absolutely loads.

• 39:23Ant McPartlin?

  We've got loads. We've got four.

• 39:27Declan Donnelly?

  Georgie and Bo in Portsmouth. Hello, my favourite Geordies.

• 39:31Ant McPartlin?

  Hello, Georgie and Bo.

• 39:32Declan Donnelly?

  You guys are always so happy and upbeat. I love the podcast, but my question is, do you guys ever argue? We don't really, do we?

• 39:40Ant McPartlin?

  No, we don't. No, we don't.

• 39:42Declan Donnelly?

  We've had one big argument.

• 39:44Ant McPartlin?

  We had an argument over Who Wants to be a Millionaire board game. Dec packed up the board game and went home.

• 39:49Declan Donnelly?

  It was my board game, so I took it home. Cause you.

• 39:52Ant McPartlin?

  Like a child.

• 39:53Declan Donnelly?

  Cause you.

• 39:53Ant McPartlin?

  Like the child that he is.

• 39:55Declan Donnelly?

  Were a dick.

• 39:57Ant McPartlin?

  I wasn't actually.

• 39:58Declan Donnelly?

  You.

• 39:59Ant McPartlin?

  It's what Chris Tarr would have done.

• 40:00Declan Donnelly?

  He would not.

• 40:00Ant McPartlin?

  He would have.

• 40:01Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 40:01Ant McPartlin?

  Course he would have.

• 40:02Declan Donnelly?

  You were, you were so vindictive as a game show host. So, it was a question, right, about a murder mystery.

• 40:10Ant McPartlin?

  Come on, you'll remember it.

• 40:11Declan Donnelly?

  I do. Murder mystery authors.

• 40:13Ant McPartlin?

  Word for word.

• 40:13Declan Donnelly?

  Murder mystery authors. And we got four options.

• 40:19Declan Donnelly?

  Two of the options were Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendell, can't remember the other two. So I'm sat there and I go, oh, so it was either Agatha Christie or Ruth Rendell. Made the mistake of saying it out loud. And I said, I'll take a 50 50. So you have to give your question thing over. And the question master closes two windows. So he closed the other two and left Agatha Christie and Ruth Rendell.

• 40:42Ant McPartlin?

  Of course you did. Yeah.

• 40:44Declan Donnelly?

  Nah.

• 40:44Ant McPartlin?

  Would you have done that? Valid. See? Valid. I was clever and valid.

• 40:49Declan Donnelly?

  No, you weren't.

• 40:49Ant McPartlin?

  Are two of the words. Not vindictive. Clever and valid. It's what Chris Tarrant would have done.

• 40:54Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 40:54Ant McPartlin?

  It's what the computer would have done.

• 40:55Declan Donnelly?

  It is absolutely not.

• 40:57Ant McPartlin?

  Anyway, Dec used a very, very loud expletive and then packed up the board game and went home.

• 41:02Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I did. That was the end of the game. We've never played it since.

• 41:05Ant McPartlin?

  Right. This is from Willow.

• 41:06Declan Donnelly?

  Hello, Willow.

• 41:07Ant McPartlin?

  Hello, Willow. I don't know.

• 41:09Declan Donnelly?

  Hello, Willow.

• 41:09Ant McPartlin?

  Hello, Willow. I don't know if you remember, but back in the day, you were once Munchkins.

• 41:16Ant McPartlin?

  In a Wizard of Oz.

• 41:17Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, because people like you don't let us forget.

• 41:20Ant McPartlin?

  You were once Munchkins.

• 41:21Declan Donnelly?

  I might have written a diary about this.

• 41:23Ant McPartlin?

  In a Wizard of Oz at the Time Theatre and Opera House in Newcastle. I only know this because my nana Irene played Glinda and she tells everyone she knows. It's her claim to fame. Apparently Dec played the mayor of Munchkinland. And apparently my nana had to tell yous off all the time for being little shit.

• 41:44Ant McPartlin?

  Your nana's lying. Your nana is a liar. A liar.

• 41:49Ant McPartlin?

  Your nana is a liar. If she's still with us. If she's not, your nana's a lovely woman.

• 41:54Declan Donnelly?

  Your nana's a liar. Goodness, we're still.

• 41:58Ant McPartlin?

  It would be great to hear if you have any memories of this. My nana would be very pleased. Your nana's a liar. But I will tell you something. I didn't think we were that bad.

• 42:07Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yeah.

• 42:08Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, there we are.

• 42:10Declan Donnelly?

  That was us. Not as Munchkins. We were also soldiers. And if you can see, there's one of my early publicity photos on the door. Can you see this?

• 42:19Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, my God.

• 42:20Declan Donnelly?

  One of my early publicity photos. That was obviously my address.

• 42:23Ant McPartlin?

  He locked an autograph card. This is following us through.

• 42:26Declan Donnelly?

  Thankfully, my autograph card's turned up. Have you got a story about that lovely packet of crisps you're enjoying in the picture?

• 42:35Ant McPartlin?

  Oh yeah. As I'm posing for the photo, I'm eating what looks like a packet of McCoy's. Do you like a McCoy?

• 42:43Declan Donnelly?

  I think they're Tudor.

• 42:44Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, it's the Tudor.

• 42:46Declan Donnelly?

  Posh.

• 42:46Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 42:47Declan Donnelly?

  Posh ones.

• 42:47Ant McPartlin?

  Do you remember Tudor crisps?

• 42:49Declan Donnelly?

  Honey, bag of Tudor. Climb a mountain for a bag of Tudor.

• 42:51Ant McPartlin?

  They were the best crisps. I'd like to reintroduce them to the world.

• 42:55Declan Donnelly?

  There is one more thing in the postbag that I just wanted to have a look at. Have you got it there, Jemima? Fly it in.

• 43:00Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you're very good in.

• 43:02Declan Donnelly?

  Another great aeroplane just came in there, if you're listening. We have got the first suggestions for tattoos.

• 43:09Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, good.

• 43:09Declan Donnelly?

  For you.

• 43:10Ant McPartlin?

  Good, good, good.

• 43:11Declan Donnelly?

  Sharon has suggested Spider-Man swinging a golf club.

• 43:15Ant McPartlin?

  Why Spider-Man?

• 43:16Declan Donnelly?

  Tom Holland and the golf club.

• 43:18Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, no.

• 43:20Ant McPartlin?

  No, thanks.

• 43:20Declan Donnelly?

  This is not you to say yes or no, remember?

• 43:22Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean?

• 43:23Declan Donnelly?

  I am going to curate, amalgamate.

• 43:25Ant McPartlin?

  Pop certificate?

• 43:26Declan Donnelly?

  Ben from Redditch says, to commemorate your devotion to each other.

• 43:30Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 43:31Declan Donnelly?

  And the 25 plus.

• 43:32Ant McPartlin?

  We're not getting married.

• 43:33Declan Donnelly?

  25 plus years career you've had together.

• 43:36Ant McPartlin?

  30 plus.

• 43:36Declan Donnelly?

  30 odd plus. I think Ant should get an ant standing on a deck. It's a play on both of your names and a bit cheeky.

• 43:45Ant McPartlin?

  No, thank you. No, thanks.

• 43:47Declan Donnelly?

  No?

• 43:47Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 43:48Declan Donnelly?

  A little ant with an antenna.

• 43:49Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 43:50Declan Donnelly?

  Standing on the deck of a boat.

• 43:51Ant McPartlin?

  I get it, I get it. No, thanks. Yeah, no, no, no, no.

• 43:54Declan Donnelly?

  Anton Dudek?

• 43:55Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 43:56Declan Donnelly?

  You could get an Anton Dubek to actually do it, you know? That would be good. Rachel from Limerick said, there was a young, no, no. Oh, sorry, she's from Limerick. My idea for Ant's tattoo is a washing line with two magpies representing Ant and Deck, with a Newcastle jersey hanging on the line. Ideally, the jersey could be pinned upside down and have the number nine on it, representing Alan Shearer, but would look like a six for the six months of the podcast that will have happened when you get the tattoo. We've got the design on the screen. She's sent a hand-drawn design as well.

• 44:27Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, it's pretty good. When you see it drawn out like that, it's pretty good.

• 44:30Declan Donnelly?

  There's no nine and six, though. She's forgotten that bit. She's.

• 44:33Ant McPartlin?

  She's taken it from the front.

• 44:34Declan Donnelly?

  Has she, has she done this?

• 44:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, she did. She said that, she actually said that she would do it on the back of the shirt.

• 44:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, so maybe it's on there. We just can't see it.

• 44:43Ant McPartlin?

  Hold on, unless she's going to tattoo both sides of my arm. So that's, if your tattoo's there, that's that side.

• 44:48Declan Donnelly?

  That's a good idea. From behind.

• 44:50Ant McPartlin?

  And, and the washing line goes all the way around. All right.

• 44:53Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe you could get it on your chest and then if you go around, you've got the, the back on your back.

• 44:56Ant McPartlin?

  I've got tattoos on my chest, I'm afraid.

• 44:58Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, right.

• 44:58Ant McPartlin?

  Got my wife's name. And you're not tattooing over that.

• 45:03Declan Donnelly?

  And one final suggestion from Amber Hayes is Baby John Pork.

• 45:09Ant McPartlin?

  I don't want a tattoo of a pig.

• 45:10Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 45:11Ant McPartlin?

  I'd really rather not. I've got me dogs. Where's me dogs? You see the dog there?

• 45:16Declan Donnelly?

  Could have put a little.

• 45:19Declan Donnelly?

  That'd be great.

• 45:21Ant McPartlin?

  Baby John Pork.

• 45:23Declan Donnelly?

  Baby John Pork.

• 45:24Ant McPartlin?

  We could do, but he's not my pet, though, is he?

• 45:26Declan Donnelly?

  Can be. Take him home.

• 45:28Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah, I could do. That's rude. Look after him. That's a good place to leave it.

• 45:32Declan Donnelly?

  I think it's as good as any. Good as any.

• 45:34Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, good.

• 45:34Declan Donnelly?
