• 2:03Declan Donnelly?

  I was showing a bit too much cleavage there.

• 2:05Ant McPartlin?

  It's all a bit too Simon Cowell.

• 2:08Declan Donnelly?

  So, yeah, back in the game, having a lovely time. But coming to coming to the end of my holiday now.

• 2:13Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 2:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, but I've had a lovely time. I'm going to head back, head back to the UK, head back, see the farm in Newcastle for a bit and have a bit more time off back in the UK. So, yeah, looking forward to that.

• 2:26Ant McPartlin?

  So technically you're still on holiday. You're still be on holiday. But in the Costa del Toon.

• 2:31Declan Donnelly?

  Costa del Toon. Aye, that's the, that's the plan.

• 2:35Ant McPartlin?

  Good.

• 2:36Declan Donnelly?

  We've had loads of postcards this week.

• 2:39Ant McPartlin?

  We have.

• 2:39Declan Donnelly?

  Shall we get cracking and get through them?

• 2:40Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, yes, yes. I have one here. They look at my lovely post. Where is that, would you say? Is that like Amsterdam, Copenhagen? Looks like a European city, colorful, colorful facades.

• 2:52Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 2:53Ant McPartlin?

  This one says, hi, I'm Deck and Team.

• 2:56Declan Donnelly?

  Hey.

• 2:57Speaker 01

  Hey.

• 2:58Ant McPartlin?

  I'm Hannah from Glasgow and I wanted to tell you a story.

• 3:02Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, good.

• 3:03Ant McPartlin?

  About how you're technically involved in many nights out with my friends. What? I wasn't there, don't know what you're talking about. A few years ago, when my friends and I were about 19, we're all around at one of our houses having some drinks and somehow the chat turns to Susan Boyle. So in our slightly tipsy state, we decided to re-watch Susan's audition on BGT. Good audition.

• 3:28Declan Donnelly?

  Great audition.

• 3:29Ant McPartlin?

  Now, it has become a tradition that anytime we're together, we will end our night by watching that audition and perhaps shedding a few tears in front of the TV. There's always someone who quotes and saying, you didn't expect that, did you? And I've always wondered what was going through your minds at the moment. We're 25, 26 now, and the tradition is still going strong, even using it as a way to console ourselves after watching Scotland play Morocco and Brazil. All the best, respect, guys. Hannah. Hannah, first of all, great story. I love the fact that you have a little tradition that you've carried on with your mates. It's always good to do. We've got similar things that we do with our friends, our god buddies.

• 4:12Ant McPartlin?

  But we, what was going through our minds? So let me tell you a little story. I was, after that audition went out and it went huge, that episode, it blew up everywhere. It was massive on YouTube. It was huge in the States. She'd be Susan Boyle became a huge star in the States just from that one first audition going out on Britain's Got Talent.

• 4:34Declan Donnelly?

  It was something ridiculous, like the show went out on Saturday night in the UK and then by like Monday evening, it had had 20 million views on YouTube or something.

• 4:44Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 4:44Declan Donnelly?

  It was something crazy. She became a global, literally, literally became a global superstar overnight.

• 4:53Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. It was, it was crazy. And there was American news crews interviewing the judges, coming over, hanging outside. There was like, everything was just madness. And that, so on the day of that audition, I don't really remember it being remarkable.

• 5:16Ant McPartlin?

  Not as remarkable as when I watched it back and you saw the judges' reactions and the audience reactions. It was a good audition, but we'd seen a lot of good auditions that day.

• 5:26Declan Donnelly?

  And we were only in Scotland for one day doing auditions. So we were racing through everybody, trying to get them done.

• 5:32Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 5:32Declan Donnelly?

  It was a surprising audition because none of us expected the lady and how she looked and how she was going on to, to, to come out and sing like that, which, which was, again, was a fantastic example of never judging a book by its cover.

• 5:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 5:52Declan Donnelly?

  You know, you can always be surprised.

• 5:53Ant McPartlin?

  But then it went on and just, it just went huge. All I was seeing all around the world. I was in Dubai the, that following Christmas, New Year. And then it was New Year's, I remember it was New Year's Day and I was in the food court in a mall in Dubai. And I just kept getting recognized and it really surprised us. I thought, wow, how do all these people know where I am in Dubai? Because at that time, there wasn't a lot of expats who lived out there. There was just a lot of locals. And this young lad came up to us and went, it's you, it's you, Susan Boyle Boy. I went, Susan Boyle Boy? Who wants, who wants their nickname to be Susan Boyle Boy? Not me.

• 6:38Declan Donnelly?

  It's gonna be that now, from now on.

• 6:40Ant McPartlin?

  But, yeah, you didn't expect that, did you?

• 6:43Declan Donnelly?

  The one thing it was, was really surprising. We didn't expect Susan, who'd been sat backstage with us 10 minutes before that, having her sandwiches out of her Tupperware box. We didn't expect that lady to get up there on stage and sing like that and bring the house down and get that kind of reaction. So, yeah, it was an incredible day.

• 7:02Ant McPartlin?

  It actually surprises us as well when we watch an audition from the side of the stage and they're good. Like I said, it was a good audition. But when we watch the shows back and you see it from the front shot and you see all the cameras on it and all the lights and we see the audience reaction. I get a bit teary sometimes watching BGT auditions for the second time because we get to see the proper audition. Especially dance acts for us. Watching a dance act from the side is a particularly tough watch because you don't know if they're all in time or not. You can tell they're pretty good technically, but it's not until you see them right from the front that you go, actually, these guys are good.

• 7:41Declan Donnelly?

  Speak to me about that. What's going on there?

• 7:43Ant McPartlin?

  The sunset.

• 7:44Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, but what's, what's that? Is it on the back of a boat?

• 7:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I reckon it's a boat. When you've just come out of the, what's that called? The room?

• 7:54Declan Donnelly?

  Cabin?

• 7:54Ant McPartlin?

  Cabin, cabin, that's it. You've come out the cabin, you're watching the sunset.

• 7:58Declan Donnelly?

  It's a beautiful sunset on the postcard.

• 8:00Ant McPartlin?

  Is it boat related? I hope.

• 8:02Declan Donnelly?

  It is, it is definitely not. It's not boat related. This is from Lindsay D, though, who says, hey, lads, I'm sorry to say I've done a deck. I'm a fellow Geordie in much hotter climes right now on holiday in Tunisia. Ooh, Tunisia, have you ever been?

• 8:20Ant McPartlin?

  No, I haven't been.

• 8:21Declan Donnelly?

  I haven't been to Tunisia. All is lovely, except my feet.

• 8:27Ant McPartlin?

  Ah.

• 8:28Declan Donnelly?

  My right foot is really red and swollen. My left foot is slightly less so, but I cannot wear any shoes right now, which makes going for food a bit of a nightmare. Deck, you have my utmost sympathies. I now know how you felt for those few days you were trapped in your hotel room. Not fun at all. Love you both from Lindsay D. Lindsay, it is the worst feeling. You can't even properly stand up because your, your feet are so swollen. It's honestly the worst. And, and yes, it does make going for food a nightmare. I didn't even get out for food for two or three days.

• 9:08Declan Donnelly?

  I sat in the, in the apartment and ate on the balcony on my own with passersby pointing and sniggering. Lindsay, I'm so sorry.

• 9:19Ant McPartlin?

  Lindsay, what are you thinking? Put fact there fifty on that.

• 9:22Declan Donnelly?

  Fact of fifty is your friend.

• 9:23Ant McPartlin?

  But how can you burn your feet?

• 9:25Declan Donnelly?

  Because you go.

• 9:25Ant McPartlin?

  I still can't get my head around it.

• 9:27Declan Donnelly?

  Because you go paddling. This is what I did.

• 9:29Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, but you haven't, you obviously haven't applied enough.

• 9:32Declan Donnelly?

  No, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't reapply. That was the problem.

• 9:36Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, reapply.

• 9:38Declan Donnelly?

  And Lindsay's in Tunisia. She hasn't realised that the sun in Tunisia is hotter than it is at home. It's different kind of heat in it on holiday. Different kind of heat. That's on the bingo card, isn't it? Different kind of heat on holiday. That's on the bingo card.

• 9:52Ant McPartlin?

  Here's the, here's the postcard.

• 9:54Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh, that's nice.

• 9:55Ant McPartlin?

  That's another ship sunset sceney kind of thing.

• 9:57Declan Donnelly?

  Lovely.

• 9:58Ant McPartlin?

  And this one says, hi, I'm Deck and Hecklers.

• 10:02Speaker 05

  Hey.

• 10:04Ant McPartlin?

  Gooey. I was just watching the podcast episode where you guys were talking about things you've let fall down a toilet.

• 10:10Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yeah.

• 10:11Ant McPartlin?

  And I got a flashback to the time when I fell down the toilet. What? I was about fifteen when I went into the small downstairs bathroom in my house and in typical teenage girl fashion, I fainted. When I came back around, it felt like I was waking from a nap and with my eyes closed, I thought, why is my arm so cold? It was then that I realised I was on the floor, wedged between the wall and the toilet with my arm almost fully submerged and my hand further inside the pipe of the toilet than any hand should ever be.

• 10:46Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, my God.

• 10:47Ant McPartlin?

  Luckily, it was post flush. Oh, thank God. It was funny then, still is now, but the worst part is my whole family was there and no one noticed how long I was gone for, only that I came back confused and with a soggy sleeve. Big fan of the podcast. Respect, guys. Jesse from Dublin. Oh, my God. Jesse fell down the toilet.

• 11:09Declan Donnelly?

  What a shot that was as well to get the arm.

• 11:11Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 11:13Declan Donnelly?

  Down the bowl, along the pipe.

• 11:15Ant McPartlin?

  Imagine thin and it's, oh, oh, oh.

• 11:20Ant McPartlin?

  What the hell?

• 11:21Declan Donnelly?

  That's horrible.

• 11:22Ant McPartlin?

  Thank God it wasn't, you didn't think your head fell in there. Thank God it was on first.

• 11:26Declan Donnelly?

  I dropped something down the toilet the other day.

• 11:28Ant McPartlin?

  See? It happens all the time.

• 11:30Declan Donnelly?

  It does.

• 11:30Ant McPartlin?

  Spectacles.

• 11:32Declan Donnelly?

  Nail clippers.

• 11:33Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 11:34Declan Donnelly?

  My nail clippers.

• 11:35Ant McPartlin?

  Why are we, why are we doing your nails? What's happening to?

• 11:38Declan Donnelly?

  I was cutting my fingernails and you do that, do you not do that thing? You cut your fingernails and then a bit of the nail got stuck in the, in the clippers. So I went like that down the toilet to get the, to get the bit of nail out. It came out my hand, splosh, right into the toilet.

• 11:54Ant McPartlin?

  What did you do?

• 11:55Declan Donnelly?

  Well, the only thing I could do.

• 11:57Ant McPartlin?

  Put your hand down. Yeah, see?

• 11:59Declan Donnelly?

  Thankfully, it was like, like Jesse, it was a clean bowl.

• 12:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, post flush.

• 12:03Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, they, um, spent an hour or two in a pot of bleach.

• 12:07Speaker 05

  And did you remember what you dropped down the toilet the other day yet?

• 12:11Ant McPartlin?

  No, I can't. I've, I've been thinking as Deck was saying that story there. Um, no.

• 12:17Speaker 05

  Just so many things.

• 12:18Ant McPartlin?

  So many. He just ordered these. Could be anything. Could be anything.

• 12:22Declan Donnelly?

  Hang on, how many dogs are on the, on the bed there?

• 12:25Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, my God, one of them's down the toilet.

• 12:28Declan Donnelly?

  I've dropped a dog down the toilet.

• 12:31Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, I've got a lovely one here of a, of a lovely scene that looks like a Amalfi Coast. It looks like the Italian Riviera.

• 12:39Ant McPartlin?

  It does. That looks nice.

• 12:40Declan Donnelly?

  Looks very nice. This is from Hannah from Wigan. That is not Wigan. She says, hi, guys. I have a wild theory. I think at some point in time dragons were real, but we killed them off like the woolly mammoth and the dodo. Do you think dragons were once real? Respect, guys. Hannah, Wigan.

• 13:01Ant McPartlin?

  Hannah and Wigan, I do believe in your theory. I think dragons were real at some point. Because there's too many depictions of dragons in different cultures all around the world. And they all look similar. They've all got wings and they've all got long necks. They all look kind of big like dinosaurs. And were they the kind of last remnants of the dinosaurs?

• 13:29Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it's got to be.

• 13:30Ant McPartlin?

  It's got to be that, isn't it? But I think there's, something must have existed that was a dragon, dragon style thing. Because we talk about them too much. They're in all, they're in mythology. They're, they're in stories. They're, they're in children's fairy stories. You know, they're everywhere. You know, it's always the dragon and the prince, the dragon tries to capture the princess and the knight comes and saves the princess. And I've read a lot about dragons recently because they're in a lot of wilderness books. So I, so for that reason, I agree with you.

• 14:01Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I think you could be honest with me there, Hannah.

• 14:03Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 14:03Declan Donnelly?

  And look at the, the most famous story of our parents said, St George. St George slayed the dragon. So whether they were quite fire-breathing dragons and those kind of mythical creatures that have maybe built up over time, I do not know. But there must have been, like you said, the remnants of the dinosaur era.

• 14:22Ant McPartlin?

  Got to be.

• 14:23Declan Donnelly?

  With some sort of dragon type.

• 14:26Ant McPartlin?

  But look at the Welsh dragon. There's a dragon on the flag of Wales. You know, it's every, dragons are everywhere. It's there, man. It's there for us all to see, screaming. They're real.

• 14:36Declan Donnelly?

  We just need to open our eyes. Open your eyes. We lived in the Matrix.

• 14:40Ant McPartlin?

  Come on.

• 14:40Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know what that means. Yes.

• 14:42Ant McPartlin?

  You just see it. You just see it on TikTok.

• 14:44Declan Donnelly?

  Just see it. People say it. Um, I think you're right, Hannah. I think there's something in that. So, agreed.

• 14:51Ant McPartlin?

  Next.

• 14:52Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, please.

• 14:52Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, there's two put together.

• 14:54Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, is that a, is that a snowy?

• 14:56Ant McPartlin?

  That is a snowy. Oh, that looks nice. That's a snowy one. And then there's got, hold on, I think there's a picture here. Hold on a second. Let me read the first postcard first. Hi, I'm Deck and Hecklers Corner.

• 15:09Speaker 05

  Hey.

• 15:12Ant McPartlin?

  My wife and I love watching the pod every week when you type in, when you type in Ant and Dec Smash Hits 1994 into the internet. Who says that anymore?

• 15:22Declan Donnelly?

  Into the worldwide, into the worldwide web.

• 15:26Ant McPartlin?

  W W W dot. You can buy the actual copy of it. The amusing part is Ant's face covered up with tattoos. There is even a take that tattoo for Ant. Would love to know how you gain instant sex appeal, guys. Long may the pod continue. Respect, guys. Scott and Tracy. So there you go. There it is. So you can buy that. But you can only buy the front cover. Is that what she's saying?

• 15:52Speaker 05

  I think that's how it's advertised online to buy.

• 15:54Ant McPartlin?

  That's how it's advertised online. So you don't get to see me at all, but you do get to see take that tattoos. So I'm cool with that.

• 16:02Ant McPartlin?

  Good wing, Deck. You've got a tattoo on, I see.

• 16:05Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you. I've got, yeah.

• 16:07Ant McPartlin?

  If you zoom in there, Deck has a tattoo. How to Gain Instant Sex Appeal by PJ and Duncan. I don't know what the interview is about because I don't think we've got it now. So I don't know how we had it then.

• 16:16Declan Donnelly?

  Goodness me. Um, that's quite a tattoo, isn't it?

• 16:20Ant McPartlin?

  It is.

• 16:21Declan Donnelly?

  It's actually made me fancy a little tattoo.

• 16:23Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I thought you were going to say, it actually made me fancy it. Would you get your own name on your own arm though?

• 16:28Declan Donnelly?

  I think yes, I think I would, yes.

• 16:29Ant McPartlin?

  You would? You would, would you?

• 16:31Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it would, it would help people identify me as to which one I am out of Ant and Dec.

• 16:35Ant McPartlin?

  That would help. I could get Ant on my arm. You get Deck on your arm.

• 16:38Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, that's good.

• 16:39Ant McPartlin?

  That would help. I'd quite like that tattoo, um, sheet, if you don't mind, just for reference for the future. Hey, it's counting down, isn't it? When I get back from here, it's happening, isn't it? Isn't it, wasn't it?

• 16:50Declan Donnelly?

  T D.

• 16:51Speaker 05

  The T D. It's gone in your diary.

• 16:55Ant McPartlin?

  So I know what I've, I know what I've picked, but you guys don't.

• 16:59Declan Donnelly?

  No, it's in an envelope, right?

• 17:00Ant McPartlin?

  I put it in the envelope, yeah.

• 17:02Speaker 05

  I think it's the golf one with the belly button.

• 17:04Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you think that? Yeah, you think that? Okay.

• 17:06Declan Donnelly?

  Please, please, please, please, please, please.

• 17:08Ant McPartlin?

  That's what Fiona wants. Okay.

• 17:12Ant McPartlin?

  So I think I'm going to get it done when I get back. Um, we can't get it done in the studio because we would have to licence the podcast studio as a tattoo parlor.

• 17:22Speaker 05

  Well, you actually need to have two sinks in the room. So we tried.

• 17:26Ant McPartlin?

  Is that what it is?

• 17:27Speaker 05

  We tried to licence, but we don't have two sinks in the studio.

• 17:31Ant McPartlin?

  You have to have two sinks in the room.

• 17:34Declan Donnelly?

  We don't even have one sink in the studio.

• 17:37Ant McPartlin?

  No, we don't.

• 17:37Declan Donnelly?

  We're the stand and start there. It's not like we've got one and we could get another one in. We've got none.

• 17:43Ant McPartlin?

  I can't wait though. After seeing my pub shots on the beach, I did think, boy, you look good for a man of fifty. But then I also thought.

• 17:53Speaker 05

  Do you need the paps?

• 17:54Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I boot the paps. Yeah. It's very my style. I also thought, there's a few gaps there. There's a few gaps for tattoos. So I'm looking forward to getting the, uh, and if it goes well, who knows, we could do it again.

• 18:10Speaker 05

  You just said something.

• 18:12Ant McPartlin?

  Did I? Oh, did I say something? Makes you go back and bleep it. Bleep it. They didn't hear.

• 18:17Declan Donnelly?

  What did you say?

• 18:18Ant McPartlin?

  Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I didn't say anything.

• 18:22Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I can't even go back and listen now.

• 18:23Ant McPartlin?

  No, you can't.

• 18:24Declan Donnelly?

  You've flaked it already.

• 18:25Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, she has.

• 18:25Speaker 05

  I've flaked it.

• 18:27Ant McPartlin?

  Ha ha.

• 18:28Speaker 05

  I've just Googled also the, the pub pits to see the belly one and that is so funny.

• 18:33Ant McPartlin?

  It's funny, isn't it?

• 18:37Declan Donnelly?

  Right, let's finish off with my last postcard for today. There we are, we've got a lovely little

• 18:44Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that's lovely.

• 18:45Declan Donnelly?

  Like a French town.

• 18:47Ant McPartlin?

  Hmm, lovely. I'd like to go there. I'd like to go to all of these AI-generated postcard places.

• 18:56Declan Donnelly?

  This one says, "My name is Lena. I listened to your pod with my son Riley, who has ADHD amongst other things. He belly laughs every week, but an story about the tree branch made us both laugh until we cried. When he was five, before his diagnosis, I was watching a Superman movie. A few hours later, I was washing the dishes when something flew past the window. I screamed and there was Riley on his feet, arms in the air, shouting, 'Tada! I can fly like Superman.' Safe to say, I filtered all of your shows moving forward. But on a serious note, and from one parent to another, thanks for making my boy sit up and say,

• 19:40Declan Donnelly?

  'Someone just like me, mum, and he's mega famous. Visibility matters.' So, thank you and respect, guys. From Lena and Riley." And she also says, "P.S. No humans were harmed in trying to be like Superman and Wiley has safely made it to 21 years old. However, mummy did turn grey at 26."

• 20:02Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 20:03Declan Donnelly?

  Isn't that lovely, though?

• 20:04Ant McPartlin?

  That's a lovely message. Thank you so much. And it's true. Visibility does matter. It does. It does. It is important to talk about these things. It is important for other people to know what you have and how you deal with it and what, you know, what struggles you've overcome. Even that postcard getting read out on the pod will help somebody else. So they'll help somebody else. Just even just recognizing it in somebody else makes you go, "I'm not alone. I'm not odd. I'm not the only person who does this because there's millions of us out there all with really bad impulsivity that we need to try and control."

• 20:43Declan Donnelly?

  And let's be honest, none of us are really normal, are we?

• 20:46Ant McPartlin?

  No, exactly.

• 20:47Declan Donnelly?

  What is normal, you know?

• 20:49Ant McPartlin?

  There is no such thing as normal.

• 20:51Declan Donnelly?

  It doesn't exist. We all have our little foibles and little quirks and we're all, we're all, we're all not normal and we're a boring place. The world would be a boring place if we were.

• 21:03Ant McPartlin?

  It really would. It's true.

• 21:05Declan Donnelly?

  I think we should end it there.

• 21:06Ant McPartlin?

  We should. That was really good. A really good final postcard. Thank you very much. Thank you all the postcards.

• 21:13Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, thank you for all your postcards. While we've been away, we've really enjoyed seeing where you are on holiday and the stuff you've been up to.

• 21:19Ant McPartlin?

  It's quite special to take you all on holiday with us and on holidays and, you know, it's, I tell it's, we've really talked each other through these holidays and have one another. There are the ups and the downs and the sickness, Declan, and the health.

• 21:34Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 21:35Ant McPartlin?

  It's been really good. Really good. So, thank you very much for keeping us company.

• 21:39Declan Donnelly?

  It's been very special having you company whilst on holiday. I hope you've enjoyed our company on your holidays. We will see you on Thursday back in the studio, back in the Hangout Studio, in the Hangout.

• 21:52Declan Donnelly?

  So, until then, respect, guys.

• 21:55Ant McPartlin?

  Respect, guys.

• 21:56Declan Donnelly?

  See you Thursday. Bye.

• 21:58Ant McPartlin?

  Bye.
