1:00 Ant McPartlin? Coming up on the show, Dex's full body workout gives me the shudders. I so like to think of you like that. I like to think of you fully clothed.
1:09 Declan Donnelly? Ant's face pops up in another very unusual place.
1:13 Ant McPartlin? Somebody has ripped me off, big style, and I don't like it. Dex gladly swaps something from his wardrobe.
1:20 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, not sure. Is it too late to put them on eBay?
1:23 Ant McPartlin? You can't, you can't put back out now.
1:24 Declan Donnelly? We reveal some secrets from the red carpet. And we sneaked out and there was a pub next door and we went and sat in the pub.
1:31 Ant McPartlin? And drank Guinness.
1:32 Declan Donnelly? And drank Guinness.
1:33 Ant McPartlin? We've got one of your diaries again, I love them. We can't believe we've got them.
1:37 Declan Donnelly? And loads of your letters in the postbag. Here we go then, enjoy the show.
1:50 Declan Donnelly? Hey, how are you?
1:54 Declan Donnelly? Nice to see you.
1:55 Ant McPartlin? To see you nice. That's not our catchphrase.
1:58 Declan Donnelly? That's not ours.
1:58 Ant McPartlin? That's not ours. We call that that. I didn't turn me like all along.
2:01 Declan Donnelly? Twenty pounds every time you use that. Hello, everybody. Welcome along to the hangout for another hanging out with me and him. It's great to see you and to be with you.
2:09 Ant McPartlin? To see you nice. What, we can't do that in that?
2:12 Declan Donnelly? He can't ask another twenty pounds. Um, but it's great to be in your eyes and your ears. One more time.
2:18 Ant McPartlin? No, that's, that's not, no.
2:20 Declan Donnelly? Is that not a thing?
2:20 Ant McPartlin? It's great to be in your eyes and your ears. That's not, no, that's not me. That catchphrase.
2:23 Declan Donnelly? We've got, we've got to, we've got to work harder on the catchphrase.
2:26 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, we really do. All right.
2:28 Declan Donnelly? Very good.
2:29 Ant McPartlin? Good, very good.
2:30 Declan Donnelly? Well, I'm not, I'm actually not very good. I'm a bit discombobulated this morning.
2:35 Ant McPartlin? Keep boxing.
2:36 Declan Donnelly? No, no, no. I've been in the gym.
2:37 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
2:38 Declan Donnelly? Full body.
2:39 Ant McPartlin? What?
2:39 Declan Donnelly? Full body workout.
2:41 Ant McPartlin? Is that what you call it?
2:42 Declan Donnelly? Not leg day. Well, it wasn't leg day.
2:43 Ant McPartlin? Full body workout?
2:44 Declan Donnelly? It wasn't leg.
2:46 Ant McPartlin? I meant for, I mean here for a full body workout.
2:48 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, well, sometimes we do legs, sometimes we do other body, but it was full body.
2:51 Ant McPartlin? Right.
2:53 Declan Donnelly? And, um, I came out the gym, I rushed up to the, what's the matter?
2:58 Ant McPartlin? Just a full body workout. It just makes us feel like, I, I don't know. I don't want to picture a full body workout. I'd rather not picture that. I prefer when you say leg day, just one specific part of your body.
3:11 Declan Donnelly? But I did, I did, well, half of it was leg day and half of it was upper, upper torso day.
3:16 Ant McPartlin? Upper torso. Don't say torso.
3:20 Ant McPartlin? I don't like to think of you like that. I like to think of you fully clothed.
3:24 Declan Donnelly? I was fully clothed. I wasn't naked working out.
3:27 Ant McPartlin? But torso suggests naked in my eyes.
3:30 Declan Donnelly? Anyway, look, I'd been at the gym. I was a bit sweaty. Went upstairs for a shower.
3:33 Ant McPartlin? Ah, sweaty. Yeah, I've gone.
3:35 Declan Donnelly? I went for a shower. I was like, oh my God, I'm gonna be late. I'm gonna be late. Shower got ready and I'd got the times wrong.
3:44 Ant McPartlin? Right.
3:45 Declan Donnelly? So when I was supposed to be leaving the house, I thought it was half an hour earlier. So I was early.
3:51 Ant McPartlin? For the first time in his life.
3:53 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, so I was twenty minutes early for leaving the house when I thought I should have been leaving the house half an hour earlier.
3:58 Ant McPartlin? Right.
3:59 Declan Donnelly? So I was still twenty minutes early.
4:00 Ant McPartlin? So what did you do with that twenty minutes?
4:02 Declan Donnelly? I was ten minutes late for the time I should have been that I thought I was leaving.
4:05 Ant McPartlin? What are you talking about?
4:06 Declan Donnelly? So I was ten minutes late for the time I thought I was leaving, but then I came downstairs really panicked and I was like, oh, I don't have to leave for another twenty minutes.
4:12 Ant McPartlin? Uh huh.
4:13 Declan Donnelly? So I was twenty minutes early.
4:14 Ant McPartlin? So what did you do in that twenty minutes?
4:15 Declan Donnelly? I was kind of messed with me mojo. I'm not used to being early.
4:18 Ant McPartlin? That's why you're discombobulated.
4:19 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, because I'm not used to being early.
4:20 Ant McPartlin? He's always late, always, always has been ever since we started working together. You're never that late on Biker Grove. He's just crept in later.
4:30 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
4:31 Ant McPartlin? When you just work with me.
4:32 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
4:33 Ant McPartlin? So it's very disrespectful really to me. How was your full body workout?
4:38 Declan Donnelly? I'm not used to, I'm not used to being early and it's messed with me mojo a bit.
4:42 Ant McPartlin? Okay.
4:43 Declan Donnelly? So I'm a bit late.
4:44 Ant McPartlin? Will the good stuff come later, twenty minutes later?
4:46 Declan Donnelly? Maybe.
4:51 Declan Donnelly? Maybe.
4:52 Ant McPartlin? If you're just listening to this podcast, skip ahead twenty minutes because that's when all the zingers are going to come out.
4:57 Declan Donnelly? I need to catch up with myself. You still think about my torso?
5:02 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I'm thinking about your full body and I've seen you naked.
5:05 Declan Donnelly? When?
5:06 Ant McPartlin? Well, of course I've seen you naked over the years, not for a while.
5:09 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
5:09 Ant McPartlin? Not for a while. I make a point of not being around you when you're naked, turn my back when you change.
5:16 Declan Donnelly? And, and how would you rate it?
5:19 Ant McPartlin? Eight bananas.
5:23 Ant McPartlin? One banana. That's all I saw.
5:28 Ant McPartlin? I rate you one banana and two plums.
5:34 Declan Donnelly? How did we start here?
5:35 Ant McPartlin? How did we get on to this, huh?
5:37 Declan Donnelly? Your dirty mind.
5:38 Ant McPartlin? Talking of bananas.
5:39 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
5:39 Ant McPartlin? I was, I went to Ouzbourn Community Farm.
5:42 Declan Donnelly? Up in Newcastle?
5:43 Ant McPartlin? Up in Newcastle, right. And it's a really cool little farm. It's a nice little place, Ouzbourn, really cool.
5:48 Declan Donnelly? Lovely.
5:48 Ant McPartlin? Very trendy. Went with me daughter who's at uni there and Wilder. We thought we'd like it. So as banana ratings are kind of sweeping the nation. As we've discussed.
6:00 Declan Donnelly? Catching fire.
6:00 Ant McPartlin? We were looking around the little pens and there was pigs in one, which he loved because he loves Peppa Pig at the minute. Loves Peppa Pig. And the next one was lambs, which he likes, but they were very loud, the lambs scared him a little bit. Yeah, I thought, yeah, they didn't like it. He backed off. Uh, the next one was goats, uh, which he liked. Wanted to try and get in there, but.
6:21 Declan Donnelly? They're vicious.
6:22 Ant McPartlin? They'd have his fingers off, so all that from that one. And then the final one was just one cow, one big cow, right? Stood there very proudly, licking its nose with a wet nose. And then the woman that worked there came over and she went, would you like to feed it a banana? And I went, oh yeah, I said, yeah, banana. She knows his favourite food, a banana. I thought, I thought you were listening to the podcast. She hadn't, she hadn't. That was his favourite food and he gulped it down, skin and all. Loved it. Which just made us think, like, weird, weird choice of food for a cow. No, wouldn't you think so? Like, what are other weird food choices for animals that you'd never, I would never put a cow and a banana together.
7:03 Speaker 04 No, I'd give that to like a giraffe or.
7:06 Ant McPartlin? A giraffe, a monkey. Monkeys eat bananas? Come on, didn't you never read a book in your life?
7:12 Declan Donnelly? I wonder what the world record is though for, uh, the amount of bananas eaten by a cow in a minute.
7:17 Ant McPartlin? I'm telling you, a thousand. It gulped it down.
7:20 Declan Donnelly? Really?
7:20 Ant McPartlin? Oh my God, yeah. They licked its big nose at the end. Love that banana.
7:26 Declan Donnelly? That's a weird one. I like, I like my butter from grass fed cows. I'm not sure I'd have it from banana fed cows.
7:33 Ant McPartlin? No, I know, it'd be very yellow. Imagine if it was yellow anyway.
7:36 Declan Donnelly? Yeah. And you know, when you put your bananas in the fridge, it makes everything taste like banana.
7:39 Ant McPartlin? The gym so much, all that butter you're eating.
7:43 Declan Donnelly? It's good for you?
7:44 Ant McPartlin? No, it is. It is butter is good for you. I'm all for that. Full fat butter. No half fat, nothing. No half fat nonsense. We've really, we've really strayed this week, haven't we? What milk do I have? Actually, I have lactose free milk.
7:59 Speaker 04 Oh, do you? Oh, we did do yogurt the other day.
8:01 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, all day. Is that why?
8:03 Declan Donnelly? It's the king's fault.
8:05 Ant McPartlin? That's what you get when you're the royal taster. Sometimes you've just got to pull up with these things.
8:10 Declan Donnelly? You just go, yeah. When we had, um, Isla, um, I used to use Ali's breast milk, um, not to drink it.
8:18 Ant McPartlin? What, on your cereal?
8:19 Declan Donnelly? No, no, no, no, no.
8:21 Ant McPartlin? Well, what, for what then?
8:22 Declan Donnelly? But if ever I had like a spot or
8:24 Ant McPartlin? Oh, yeah.
8:25 Declan Donnelly? Anything.
8:25 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I've done that.
8:26 Declan Donnelly? Breast milk.
8:26 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
8:27 Declan Donnelly? It's brilliant.
8:28 Ant McPartlin? Or dry a bit of skin?
8:29 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
8:29 Ant McPartlin? Put breast milk on.
8:30 Declan Donnelly? It's good.
8:31 Ant McPartlin? Clays it right up.
8:31 Declan Donnelly? I had, I had an infection in my nail and I used to get, um, a little bit of breast milk and stick my finger in it. And it is absolutely brilliant.
8:40 Ant McPartlin? Was your freezer full of breast milk?
8:41 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
8:42 Ant McPartlin? Oh, so was ours. Sweet, sweet breast milk. Right, right. I tell you what, today's podcast is just bizarre.
8:49 Declan Donnelly? This has gone mad. So I've done a full body workout.
8:53 Ant McPartlin? Stop saying that phrase.
8:55 Declan Donnelly? But, uh, I've also brought a chest with me today.
8:58 Ant McPartlin? Good. Okay. How's it feeling?
9:00 Declan Donnelly? No, not this one. Look at this. Hang on one second.
9:02 Ant McPartlin? Well, I saw something in the corner.
9:04 Speaker 04 Yes.
9:04 Ant McPartlin? Is that yours?
9:05 Speaker 04 This is mine.
9:06 Ant McPartlin? Is that the swap? That's lovely. Why are you getting rid of that?
9:09 Declan Donnelly? This is not a swap. This is.
9:11 Ant McPartlin? Keeping that, I can see why.
9:12 Declan Donnelly? This is a little.
9:13 Ant McPartlin? This is a very nice looking chest.
9:15 Declan Donnelly? Thank you.
9:16 Ant McPartlin? That Deck has brought in.
9:17 Declan Donnelly? Full body workout.
9:17 Ant McPartlin? Um, almost looks like black leather. It's a black leather.
9:21 Declan Donnelly? I think it's crocodile.
9:22 Ant McPartlin? Ooh, fake, obviously fake, not real. No, no crocodiles will harm the, the making of this chest. With like wooden inlays, silver clasps.
9:31 Declan Donnelly? It's fancy, isn't it?
9:32 Ant McPartlin? It's really good. It's very good, very good. But what's inside there?
9:36 Declan Donnelly? Only the best for what is inside the chest.
9:39 Ant McPartlin? Go on. Yes, please.
9:40 Declan Donnelly? Okay. Brace yourselves.
9:43 Ant McPartlin? Oh, I know what it is. I know what it is. I've just seen it. I've just seen it. Deck's gonna, Deck's gonna, um, handle it. Put his hand in it. So it comes out the right, oh, that was a ban. Have you broke it?
9:55 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I have a little bit.
9:56 Ant McPartlin? Oh, no.
10:02 Ant McPartlin? Oh my god. I don't know what's worse mine or yours. Yours, yours is definitely worse than mine.
10:08 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it's pretty bad, isn't it?
10:09 Ant McPartlin? So, for those of you who are just listening to this, this is Dex's spitting image puppet. Um, I brought mine on a couple of weeks ago, uh, but I only brought the head because the body had disintegrated. You seem to have the body in yours.
10:21 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it's, it is starting to disintegrate a bit.
10:23 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it is starting to disintegrate. Look at your hair. Oh, it is. Oh, yeah, it's fallen all off.
10:28 Declan Donnelly? My hand fell off.
10:29 Ant McPartlin? Oh, the hands fell off. There's like loads of sawdusty style tough.
10:33 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
10:34 Ant McPartlin? Coming out of it.
10:35 Declan Donnelly? But I've still got my little shoes on.
10:38 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, look at these little shoes. Come on, I'll have them. I think they're his size. Look at the hands. Look, one hand's left on there. Look at that.
10:47 Ant McPartlin? Do you remember the person who wrote into last week's pod and said that they could help, um, fix mine?
10:53 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
10:53 Ant McPartlin? So I said, we need to bring Dex in first. So that's what the body should look like with a little suit on and little shoes. And so if we can, I mean, yours is, the chin's gone.
11:03 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, that, that's, that's all falling in on itself.
11:06 Ant McPartlin? It really is. It's quite gruesome.
11:08 Declan Donnelly? Bad, isn't it?
11:09 Ant McPartlin? Let me get, let me get my, hold them up together. It's very hard to, um, I can't even get my hand in mine because the chin's falling off. There, there you go. There's, there's both of them.
11:19 Declan Donnelly? Let's have a look at the moment.
11:20 Ant McPartlin? There's Dex. There you go. There's our spitting image puppets. If the offer is still there, but you want to stretch to do in two, we'd be very grateful. And, uh, we'd show your handiwork in, uh, a month's time when, when you fix them for us. Because we'd like to keep them, wouldn't we? Yeah. Oh, he's Dex, Dex and on his other head, his second head. So I put mine in with yours?
11:40 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, so you want to stick it in the chest?
11:41 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, go on then. Put, put them in together. Put them in the chest and.
11:44 Declan Donnelly? Try and keep the noise down. But what are they made of?
11:48 Ant McPartlin? Um, I'm not sure. I like probably like a form. It must have been like a form that they could manipulate and, and. But so perished, good word. Didn't think we'd hear that word on this week's show. Perished, perished. Dex's body has, Dex's body has perished. It needs a full body workout. That's what that needs.
12:06 Declan Donnelly? It really does.
12:10 Ant McPartlin? So no famous guy swaps things this week, I'm afraid, because we've, we, we don't have anything else to swap, do we?
12:15 Declan Donnelly? We didn't set anything up.
12:17 Ant McPartlin? We didn't.
12:17 Declan Donnelly? Last time.
12:18 Ant McPartlin? Do you have any other stuff that you'd like to swap?
12:19 Declan Donnelly? Well, I was doing a little clear out.
12:21 Ant McPartlin? Uh huh.
12:22 Declan Donnelly? And I have found.
12:23 Ant McPartlin? Right, hold on, is it kitchen related again?
12:25 Declan Donnelly? No, it's not.
12:26 Ant McPartlin? You've given away a slow cooker and an air fryer.
12:28 Declan Donnelly? I don't have any, I don't have doubles of any other kitchen appliances.
12:31 Ant McPartlin? Good, I think that's good.
12:32 Declan Donnelly? But I do have double something.
12:35 Ant McPartlin? Go on.
12:36 Declan Donnelly? Shall I get them?
12:37 Ant McPartlin? Yes, please.
12:38 Declan Donnelly? Okay, stand by. I was doing a little clear out.
12:40 Ant McPartlin? What area, what room of the house?
12:42 Declan Donnelly? Dressing room.
12:43 Ant McPartlin? Oh, dressing room. I don't like the picture of his dressing room. It makes me think he's naked. What, nothing, nothing, nothing. Makes me think of his torso.
12:52 Declan Donnelly? Came across these on the top shelf that.
12:55 Ant McPartlin? The top shelf?
12:58 Ant McPartlin? It's not all magazines, is it?
12:59 Declan Donnelly? No, it's not, not, not top shelf.
13:01 Ant McPartlin? Me, you.
13:01 Declan Donnelly? Not top shelf magazines. But I came across these on the top shelf of my shoe tower rack thing.
13:06 Ant McPartlin? Tower?
13:07 Declan Donnelly? Rack.
13:07 Ant McPartlin? Shoe tower?
13:08 Declan Donnelly? Well, it's a rack.
13:08 Ant McPartlin? Is everything a tower to you because you're short?
13:11 Declan Donnelly? It's a shoe rack on the wall.
13:13 Ant McPartlin? My book tower.
13:14 Declan Donnelly? So they're on the top shelf for a very good reason because I bought them and I didn't like them. And they look different on the internet, but I think they got imported from Japan, so I can't send them back. So they've just been sat there for ages and I thought, hmm, I'll swap these if anybody's interested.
13:31 Ant McPartlin? Go on.
13:33 Speaker 04 Wow.
13:34 Ant McPartlin? Hold on a second. Dennis just put down a pair of possibly my favourite Adidas trainers. They've got a torsion ball at the bottom.
13:46 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
13:47 Ant McPartlin? Gold torsion ball.
13:48 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
13:49 Ant McPartlin? They are a high top boot, white leather. You've got a strap at the front.
13:54 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
13:54 Ant McPartlin? Hear that Velcro? Good quality Velcro, that, from Japan. I couldn't imagine you in these.
14:01 Declan Donnelly? No.
14:01 Ant McPartlin? They're not, they're not a very Declan Donnelly shoe.
14:04 Declan Donnelly? Well, I remember when I bought them and.
14:07 Ant McPartlin? They're lush. I'd love them.
14:08 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, they're nice on them. Not your size though.
14:10 Ant McPartlin? I'll try them on.
14:11 Declan Donnelly? I remember when I bought them and they were in my house in the corner one day and you came in and you went, what the hell are those? Who do you think you are? Rizzle kicks?
14:23 Ant McPartlin? Ow, ow, ow.
14:24 Declan Donnelly? You can't get your foot in them.
14:25 Ant McPartlin? Kind of, they're kind of in there, are they in there?
14:30 Declan Donnelly? But they're a bit, they're a bit like.
14:31 Ant McPartlin? They're a bit Michael J. Fox, a bit Back to the Future.
14:33 Declan Donnelly? A bit Marty McFly.
14:34 Ant McPartlin? They are very Marty McFly, they are a bit Rizzle Kicks. I do like them though.
14:38 Declan Donnelly? They're Adidas, they're a UK seven and a half.
14:41 Ant McPartlin? Right, that's narrowed your field down a lot.
14:43 Declan Donnelly? A lot.
14:44 Ant McPartlin? I think for, for swaps.
14:45 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
14:46 Ant McPartlin? Um, but you willing to swap these?
14:47 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, they can, I see, yeah, you can have them if you want.
14:49 Ant McPartlin? Okay, so that, they're good. That's a good swap.
14:53 Declan Donnelly? It's a good swap.
14:53 Ant McPartlin? Very good swap.
14:54 Declan Donnelly? Imported from Japan.
14:55 Ant McPartlin? Imported from Japan, can you tell us the purchase price? Or can't you remember?
14:59 Declan Donnelly? I can't remember, but they were.
15:02 Ant McPartlin? Chunky?
15:02 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
15:02 Ant McPartlin? Couple hundred quid?
15:03 Declan Donnelly? Couple hundred quid.
15:04 Ant McPartlin? Okay, a couple hundred quid, woo. We need little, um, discs to rotate them on, like they're a prize.
15:11 Declan Donnelly? They're a US eight, UK seven and a half. And I think that's possibly why I didn't wear them either, because I think they're a bit small for me. Cause in Adidas, I'm a size eight.
15:20 Ant McPartlin? Adidas June, they're called, Tojimbo at the bottom, my favourite, my favourite of all Adidas.
15:27 Declan Donnelly? Never been worn.
15:27 Ant McPartlin? Never been worn by Declan Donnelly.
15:30 Declan Donnelly? Well, they were, but, but then I was told I looked like I was in Rizzle Kicks.
15:34 Ant McPartlin? Is it because of my comment, you didn't wear them? Oh, I'm so sorry, because I really like them, I really like them. No, you've done it now, okay. Famous Guys Swaps Things is back next week. If you want to swap something for these, I think, pretty cool trainers. Uh, they're more of me trainer than a Dec trainer, but they will definitely be a you trainer. If you swap with Dec. Email us at [email protected] , all the Ts and Cs are in the description.
16:01 Declan Donnelly? We haven't done this for a few weeks, but I thought we could get the old listener map out.
16:05 Ant McPartlin? Oh yeah, good, okay, yes, yes, please.
16:08 Declan Donnelly? Here you go, world map.
16:09 Ant McPartlin? Right, I've had a little thought.
16:11 Declan Donnelly? Go on.
16:11 Ant McPartlin? About this.
16:12 Declan Donnelly? Okay.
16:12 Ant McPartlin? Now, it's more, probably more relevant to the UK map, but it works as a world map as well.
16:17 Declan Donnelly? Right.
16:18 Ant McPartlin? These areas.
16:20 Ant McPartlin? In the world that aren't listening to the podcast, right? Like Russia, for example, Greenland, right? China, there's only one little flag in China. Kazakhstan, there's no flags.
16:31 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
16:32 Ant McPartlin? Afghanistan, no flags. So I think the people that listen to the pod could do the hard work for us. Get out there and advertise the pod.
16:41 Declan Donnelly? Well, that's a good idea.
16:42 Ant McPartlin? Do you know what I mean?
16:43 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
16:43 Ant McPartlin? Not just tell your mates down the pole board, tell people like your work colleagues. What I mean is like, make a poster hanging out without the deck, dropping every Thursday and Monday.
16:52 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
16:52 Ant McPartlin? So we need you to do the advertising for us. So if you're in one of these places or anywhere in the UK and
16:58 Declan Donnelly? Or anywhere in the world.
16:59 Ant McPartlin? You listen to the pod and your friends, colleagues or people in your area, don't. Get out there and do some advertising for us and show us with a photo and we'll show it on the pod.
17:08 Declan Donnelly? That's a good idea.
17:09 Ant McPartlin? Obviously don't hurt yourself, be very safe.
17:12 Declan Donnelly? Be safe.
17:12 Ant McPartlin? Be safe, but be safe, have fun.
17:16 Declan Donnelly? And don't break any laws. We're not bailing you out.
17:19 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, very good point.
17:20 Declan Donnelly? We're not getting you out of any jails.
17:22 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, we're not bailing you.
17:23 Declan Donnelly? So, so yeah, do it within the law, be safe. But yeah, advertise the pod for us, that'd be great.
17:30 Ant McPartlin? Free advertising for us.
17:31 Declan Donnelly? Free advertising.
17:32 Ant McPartlin? We don't have to pay for it. We don't have to do it.
17:33 Declan Donnelly? And we don't have to do it.
17:34 Ant McPartlin? Wicked. Thanks. Right, back to the map.
17:37 Declan Donnelly? We have got some new flags, the black ones. We're going to Canada first, to Moose Jaw.
17:45 Ant McPartlin? Oh, that sounds good.
17:46 Declan Donnelly? Saskatchewan?
17:48 Ant McPartlin? Sasquatch? Sasquatch, like the Sasquatch.
17:50 Declan Donnelly? Like the Sasquatch.
17:51 Ant McPartlin? Like Bigfoot.
17:52 Declan Donnelly? Saskatchewan? Sasquatch. Sandra's there.
17:56 Ant McPartlin? Is she?
17:56 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
17:57 Ant McPartlin? Hi Sandra.
17:57 Declan Donnelly? Hi Sandra.
17:58 Ant McPartlin? Hi Sandra in Canada. That's, that's, there she is.
18:00 Declan Donnelly? In southern Canada.
18:01 Ant McPartlin? Have I ever been or are you going to ask me? No, I have not. As you can tell, because we can't pronounce the name of it, so I've never been there. We'd love to go to Canada.
18:08 Declan Donnelly? Love to go.
18:09 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
18:10 Declan Donnelly? Always love to go.
18:11 Ant McPartlin? Manifest, manifest, manifest.
18:12 Declan Donnelly? Douglas.
18:13 Ant McPartlin? Mm hmm.
18:14 Declan Donnelly? Is in Stockholm in Sweden. Ah Sweden, there he is, Sweden.
18:20 Ant McPartlin? Hi Douglas.
18:21 Declan Donnelly? Hi Douglas, ever been?
18:22 Ant McPartlin? Yes, I have.
18:22 Declan Donnelly? Did you love it?
18:23 Ant McPartlin? I did love it, love Sweden. We hosted the, I was gonna say we hosted the MTV Music Awards. We did, but ITV's coverage of it. So we basically, we interviewed people on the red carpet. Somebody else hosted the main thing, but we.
18:36 Declan Donnelly? And we linked in and out of bricks.
18:38 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, essentially.
18:39 Declan Donnelly? Tyser.
18:40 Ant McPartlin? Tyser, oh, I love Tyser. And I am bro.
18:43 Declan Donnelly? Tyser, I think that's her name, and she's in Brazil.
18:46 Ant McPartlin? Oh, oh, I'd love to go to Brazil.
18:48 Declan Donnelly? Would you love to go?
18:48 Ant McPartlin? Please, can I come stay at your house?
18:50 Declan Donnelly? Never been?
18:50 Ant McPartlin? Please, I've never been, please, I've never been.
18:52 Declan Donnelly? Love to go to Brazil.
18:53 Ant McPartlin? I'd love to go anywhere in South America. I'd love to go to Buenos Aires. I'd love to go to Rio. Where is she in Brazil?
18:59 Declan Donnelly? She has not said.
19:00 Ant McPartlin? Oh, it's big country, you know?
19:01 Declan Donnelly? I know.
19:02 Ant McPartlin? Big, big country. She looks like she's right, she's slapback in the middle of it. Or is that just because you didn't know where she was and you just put it in the middle?
19:09 Speaker 04 Plonked it on Brazil?
19:09 Ant McPartlin? You plonked it on Brazil. Yeah, okay. If the offer is there, is there an offer there?
19:13 Declan Donnelly? No, there's not.
19:14 Ant McPartlin? Nothing in brackets?
19:15 Declan Donnelly? Nope.
19:16 Ant McPartlin? Shame.
19:16 Declan Donnelly? Let's hot foot it to Puerto Rico.
19:18 Ant McPartlin? Oh, yeah, okay.
19:19 Declan Donnelly? Joanne is in Puerto Rico. She's listening in Puerto Rico.
19:22 Ant McPartlin? Up here.
19:23 Declan Donnelly? Have you ever been?
19:25 Ant McPartlin? Uh, I've never been to Puerto Rico.
19:27 Declan Donnelly? You've been to the Caribbean?
19:27 Ant McPartlin? I have, I have been to the Caribbean or Caribbean, however you like to say it. Have you ever Caribbean to the Caribbean?
19:35 Ant McPartlin? Have you ever Caribbean to the Caribbean? Have you ever been to the Caribbean? Jesus, wow.
19:41 Declan Donnelly? Oh, yes.
19:43 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, that's what you discombobulate, you'll get it in a minute.
19:45 Declan Donnelly? Give me 20 minutes.
19:47 Ant McPartlin? Where did your feet get burnt?
19:48 Declan Donnelly? Antigua.
19:49 Ant McPartlin? Antigua, we've been to Antigua.
19:50 Declan Donnelly? And I got an upset stomach in the Bahamas.
19:54 Ant McPartlin? Lovely, that's nice.
19:55 Declan Donnelly? It's good, isn't it?
19:56 Ant McPartlin? Wonderful.
19:56 Declan Donnelly? Lovely.
19:57 Ant McPartlin? Oh, there's an airplane just come in.
19:59 Declan Donnelly? Hi, Anton Deck.
20:00 Ant McPartlin? Hi.
20:01 Declan Donnelly? And the hecklers.
20:02 Speaker 04 Hi.
20:04 Declan Donnelly? Love the pod, listening from Rome, Italy.
20:08 Ant McPartlin? Ah.
20:08 Declan Donnelly? Where I have lived for nine years. Have you ever been?
20:11 Ant McPartlin? I've never been to Rome.
20:12 Declan Donnelly? Would you like to go?
20:13 Ant McPartlin? I'd love to go to Rome.
20:14 Declan Donnelly? Well.
20:15 Ant McPartlin? Oh, hello.
20:16 Declan Donnelly? I have lived for nine years. Oh, sorry, but apologies, no space in my house for you to stay. However.
20:22 Ant McPartlin? Just stop reading.
20:23 Declan Donnelly? With your ever growing list of demands, perhaps the Vatican is best suited to host you.
20:27 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, cool, okay.
20:28 Declan Donnelly? Respect, guys. Ifa.
20:30 Ant McPartlin? Ever growing list of demands?
20:33 Declan Donnelly? All we said was a-
20:33 Ant McPartlin? Ever grown list of demands, they're not demands.
20:37 Declan Donnelly? An on-street bathroom. My own bathroom, that's all I want.
20:39 Ant McPartlin? No, and clean sheets.
20:40 Declan Donnelly? And clean sheets.
20:41 Ant McPartlin? And clean sheets. And wifi, good wifi.
20:43 Declan Donnelly? Oh, and we did say we wanted to give a blessing from a veranda. So maybe it's the Vatican.
20:48 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, the Vatican, it should be, yes, yes. And a, and a big shop, yeah, get a big shop in. Cause we don't wanna just be going in your cupboards thinking, is this in date, is this out of date, I don't know. You don't want my date. Is that what I go to me mothers? You're never quite sure if it's in date or not. It's true though. It's true. And she, she'd agree if she's watching this. You're like, you have a bag of crisps and go, when, when did they go out of date? You go, 2021? They're fine, man, get them through you, they're fine.
21:15 Declan Donnelly? They don't look at dates, do they?
21:17 Ant McPartlin? We, nah, they don't.
21:18 Declan Donnelly? They don't look at dates.
21:18 Ant McPartlin? My sister invited me mum to her house for Christmas one year, right? And she, me mum said, oh, you're having Christmas pudding? And my sister said, well, nobody really eats it. My mum said, I eat it, I'll bring me own. So she brought her round, my sister went, well, I'll, I'll make sure I cook it for you. And she opened the packaging, the Christmas pudding was older than my niece. My niece was eight at the time. And she was like, man, it's got alcohol in, man, it never goes off. It never goes off, just stick it in the pan, it'll be fine, I'll eat it.
21:49 Speaker 04 Did she?
21:50 Ant McPartlin? She did, well, yeah, and she's still with us, so.
21:52 Declan Donnelly? Still with us.
21:58 Declan Donnelly? Did she get ill?
21:59 Ant McPartlin? Uh, she didn't get ill. Nah, nah, you see, you don't look at stuff like this, do you?
22:03 Declan Donnelly? Not really.
22:04 Ant McPartlin? Not bothered. Think it's a scam?
22:06 Declan Donnelly? Sniff test. If it smells all right and it looks all right, it's probably all right.
22:09 Ant McPartlin? I used to be really like, if it was one day, if it was on the day, I wouldn't eat it.
22:13 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, that, yeah.
22:14 Ant McPartlin? I was like, no way.
22:15 Declan Donnelly? When we shared a flat, you were like, oh, that goes off today, we can't eat that. Like, no, it's today.
22:19 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. I used to be really bad and the older you get, and the more you realise of the food wastage in this world, that you do you think, I'm not throwing that out for the sake of it, I'm just gonna, I'll eat it.
22:30 Declan Donnelly? But we should pay close attention to them. I have to say that legally.
22:34 Ant McPartlin? Says the producer.
22:36 Declan Donnelly? I've got one from Ty.
22:37 Ant McPartlin? Hi Ty.
22:38 Declan Donnelly? Says, you have a listener for your podcast.
22:41 Ant McPartlin? For your podcast, where's she from?
22:42 Declan Donnelly? All the way from Qatar.
22:44 Ant McPartlin? Qatar?
22:44 Declan Donnelly? Yes. Just wanted to say hi. I want to add, ya can't come to stay with me yet because just like Jamie Oliver, I'm busy up until September.
22:54 Ant McPartlin? Very good, very good.
22:56 Declan Donnelly? Thanks Ty.
22:56 Ant McPartlin? Nice callback to a previous pod, I like that.
22:59 Declan Donnelly? Listen to this from Elliot Long. Hello Anton Deck, I'm listening from sunny Soyo in North West Angola.
23:07 Ant McPartlin? What?
23:09 Declan Donnelly? Where's that?
23:10 Ant McPartlin? Well, it's in Africa, so Angola must be here.
23:14 Declan Donnelly? Oh, there we go.
23:15 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
23:15 Declan Donnelly? North West Angola, there it is. Admittedly, I don't live here full time.
23:20 Ant McPartlin? Right.
23:21 Declan Donnelly? But I work down here on rotation, so I split my time between here and Gateshead.
23:26 Ant McPartlin? Oh, right, okay, right. Quite a difference Angola and Gateshead.
23:30 Declan Donnelly? If you fancy coming to stay, I'm sure we could sort out a couple of spare rooms in the staff house.
23:36 Ant McPartlin? What?
23:37 Declan Donnelly? The staff house.
23:38 Ant McPartlin? Staff house? Does that mean we have to be staffed though? Well, I don't fancy that, it's not a TV show.
23:44 Declan Donnelly? Rooms are en suite, but the kitchen is shared. It's at least a four banana establishment.
23:50 Ant McPartlin? Out of, out of eight?
23:51 Declan Donnelly? Eight.
23:52 Ant McPartlin? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. I like to think I can rough it, you know, as well as the next person, but I can't.
24:02 Declan Donnelly? A four banana.
24:03 Ant McPartlin? I can't, you can't just lose four bananas in a rating, in a cleanliness, hygiene rating when it comes to staying somewhere. I won't be staying there.
24:13 Declan Donnelly? Thank you Elliot, but no thank you.
24:15 Ant McPartlin? No thank you Elliot.
24:17 Ant McPartlin? Oh, you're on the screen again and you're dirty socks. Time for the diary.
24:20 Declan Donnelly? Diary time.
24:21 Ant McPartlin? Is it, is it, is it midweek's?
24:22 Declan Donnelly? It's midweek day guys.
24:23 Ant McPartlin? Oh God, I hope you do well. I really hope we do well.
24:27 Declan Donnelly? So let me recap for you how the, how it used to, how the charts used to work in the olden days.
24:32 Ant McPartlin? Right.
24:32 Declan Donnelly? So you used to release a record on a Monday.
24:35 Ant McPartlin? Mm hmm.
24:35 Declan Donnelly? Chart day was a Sunday, so you'd have the charts on Sunday night. It was bath night.
24:42 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it was.
24:42 Declan Donnelly? And um.
24:43 Ant McPartlin? We used to listen to the charts in the bath.
24:44 Declan Donnelly? So we used to put the radio on upstairs, the charts were on. That's where you used to get your chart position. That's, it's all changed now, now it's on a Friday, whatever. So, but it used to be, you used to release on a Monday, you get your chart position on the Sunday. However, halfway through the week, you get your midweek chart position, which is a pretty good representation of how many records you've sold that far, and an indicator of where you're gonna be in the charts on Sunday. So, today, we got our midweek chart position for why me?
25:12 Ant McPartlin? Have we got a jingle?
25:13 Speaker 04 We do, this is from Courtney.
25:15 Ant McPartlin? Courtney, let's hear it.
25:27 Ant McPartlin? It's not bad.
25:28 Declan Donnelly? I quite like it.
25:28 Ant McPartlin? That's it, that's it, and it's short. I like, I quite like that. Quite ethereal at the beginning.
25:34 Declan Donnelly? It is.
25:34 Ant McPartlin? Isn't it?
25:34 Declan Donnelly? It's a bit like.
25:35 Ant McPartlin? Bit Billie Eilish-y.
25:36 Declan Donnelly? It's the fourteenth of April, nineteen ninety-four. Day eighteen of life on the road. Say ooh, ah, twenty-five, say ooh, ah, twenty-five.
25:46 Ant McPartlin? Is that what you wrote? Brilliant. Say ooh, ah, twenty-five. That's our midweek chart position, twenty-five.
25:53 Declan Donnelly? Got the midweeks today. Guess where we are? You guessed it. That's what I've said here. Got the midweeks today, guess where we are?
26:02 Ant McPartlin? Who are you talking to?
26:03 Declan Donnelly? That's like.
26:04 Ant McPartlin? Who?
26:05 Declan Donnelly? Guess where we are? You guessed it.
26:08 Ant McPartlin? I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote, future me. Guess where we are, future me? Because who else is gonna read this? Twenty-five, well done.
26:16 Declan Donnelly? It may drop, but hey, we're in the top forty. Brackets, fingers crossed.
26:23 Ant McPartlin? Fingers crossed, fingers crossed.
26:25 Declan Donnelly? Anyway, a last minute change of plan meant we had to do Liverpool tonight.
26:29 Ant McPartlin? Ah.
26:30 Declan Donnelly? Instead of Blackpool. For a last minute change, there was a massive crowd, and they were pretty darn good, too.
26:38 Ant McPartlin? Darn.
26:39 Declan Donnelly? A few troublemakers.
26:40 Ant McPartlin? Oh, was there? Oh, I know where we were.
26:43 Declan Donnelly? Tried to spoil it again with spitting and the odd flying bottle bouncing off my knee.
26:48 Ant McPartlin? Hmm.
26:49 Declan Donnelly? We had a relaxing afternoon at Pleasure Island, though.
26:52 Ant McPartlin? Did we?
26:52 Declan Donnelly? Yeah. That's not a brothel.
26:57 Ant McPartlin? It's a theme park.
26:58 Declan Donnelly? Not like the last one. Beat Ant at air hockey.
27:01 Ant McPartlin? That's a lie. That's why you're lying in your diary.
27:04 Declan Donnelly? A few times.
27:05 Ant McPartlin? That's such a lie. A few times.
27:08 Declan Donnelly? And I won bowling too.
27:10 Ant McPartlin? That's a big fat lie.
27:11 Declan Donnelly? In brackets, touchy subject.
27:16 Ant McPartlin? Brilliant. Brilliant.
27:19 Declan Donnelly? Dominique.
27:22 Declan Donnelly? You see? You see? Nothing's changed.
27:25 Ant McPartlin? That's funny.
27:26 Declan Donnelly? Nothing's changed. Dominique, our tour manager, wasn't very happy at the security and stuff, but we got through. Loads of birds backstage.
27:34 Ant McPartlin? Birds. Oh, how 90s of you, he wouldn't say that now.
27:38 Declan Donnelly? I'm very David here.
27:38 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, he wouldn't say that now. What happened with these birds?
27:42 Declan Donnelly? Only a few that rated though.
27:47 Declan Donnelly? And that's the end of the diary.
27:49 Ant McPartlin? Oh, that's the old us. We're not like that anymore.
27:52 Declan Donnelly? Well, that was the end of midweek's day.
27:54 Ant McPartlin? Good diary. The good diary. What happened on the air hockey and the bowling? Huh?
27:58 Declan Donnelly? Touchy subject.
27:59 Ant McPartlin? Touchy subject, Clay. I was furious with you. You won the Grand Slam. You won the, you won the leisure Olympics.
28:06 Declan Donnelly? I did.
28:07 Ant McPartlin? Didn't you?
28:08 Declan Donnelly? Pleasure island. It was pleasurable for me.
28:09 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, not for me. Miserable island, more like it. What a shame. So 20, oh, where's the airplane coming? From Heckless Corner, which says, hi boys. Loving the podcast. Next diary reminded me of one of mine. Extracted a little below from a trip with my friend Katrina to Blackpool. We've been best friends for over 30 years and honestly, this story has been told so many times. We've spent the last 28 years being two women with an incredible celebrity encounter. Have a great run on the podcast. Have a great run. Have a great run. She doesn't think it's gonna last. Just have a great run. For now, enjoy it. Enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't last for long, says Michelle and Katrina. Do we have it? Do we have the diary?
28:54 Speaker 04 It's in the drawer behind you.
28:55 Ant McPartlin? This is Michelle's diary. Part one.
28:59 Declan Donnelly? Oh.
29:00 Ant McPartlin? The twenty second of July nineteen ninety eight. Me and Katrina are on our second day in Blackpool. And we went to see Summer Holiday with her mum and dad. Which sounds boring, but actually it wasn't. The show was really good.
29:17 Declan Donnelly? It was a good show.
29:18 Ant McPartlin? But the best part was when we found out Aunt and Dec were going to be there. Like actually there. After the show, we waited by the stage door and they came out. I cannot even explain how cute they are in real life. There's a lot of things in capitals with an exclamation mark. We got photos with them, actual photos. After following them for years, we can't believe we met them. She's very excitable in this diary. My mum and dad are never gonna believe this when I get home. But I will show them the photos and then they will have to believe me.
29:55 Declan Donnelly? No AI in those days.
29:56 Ant McPartlin? No.
29:57 Declan Donnelly? No such thing as AI.
29:58 Ant McPartlin? We're back in the hotel room now on our own and we literally can't stop talking about it. I don't think we'll sleep tonight. I might actually explode. Oh my God. Do you have the photos to show us on the screen?
30:09 Speaker 04 Well, just read on.
30:10 Ant McPartlin? Read on. Michelle's diary, part two. Twenty third of July nineteen ninety eight. Worst day ever.
30:20 Declan Donnelly? Oh no.
30:20 Ant McPartlin? We woke up so excited to get our photos delivered. We still had five photos left on the spool, so we quickly took some off and went to Boots. He used to do that, didn't he?
30:30 Declan Donnelly? Blackpool talk.
30:32 Ant McPartlin? Everything was going perfectly. Then we opened the camera. The spool hadn't been connected properly. It wasn't even clicking. It wasn't moving in capitals. That means all of the photos from Blackpool, all of the photos meeting Aunt and Dec, gone. Full stop. Not there. Full stop. Never existed. It's like it never happened. We're crying. Properly crying all day. No one is ever gonna believe us. No one's gonna believe that we met them and now there is no photos. We hope we meet them again one day because this is actually devastating and unfair.
31:20 Ant McPartlin? Unfair. What a great word to put in the diary. It's just, this is unfair.
31:26 Ant McPartlin? On the plus side, Katrina won the pink teddy in the grab machine, so that cheered us up a little bit.
31:32 Ant McPartlin? But still, absolutely ruined. And we go home tomorrow. Oh, Michelle.
31:38 Declan Donnelly? No way.
31:39 Ant McPartlin? Michelle and Katrina from 1998. I'm so gutted for you.
31:45 Declan Donnelly? And nobody ever believed that.
31:48 Ant McPartlin? Never.
31:48 Declan Donnelly? They met us.
31:49 Ant McPartlin? Well, I don't know if I believe it.
31:50 Declan Donnelly? Well, I don't know if I believe it because I don't remember meeting them.
31:53 Ant McPartlin? I don't remember meeting them. And this was in, this was the 23rd of July, 1998. So that was the summer before we started SMTV Live.
32:03 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
32:03 Ant McPartlin? So why were we up there? Why were we in Blackpool? Oh, summer holiday, she says.
32:08 Declan Donnelly? Summer holiday.
32:08 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, that, that, that does ring true. We did go and see summer holiday in Blackpool.
32:11 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
32:12 Ant McPartlin? Because your girlfriend was in it at the time with Darren Day. So that did happen. So we probably did meet her.
32:18 Declan Donnelly? We might have done.
32:19 Ant McPartlin? Might not have though.
32:20 Declan Donnelly? Maybe this is a big ruse.
32:22 Ant McPartlin? Maybe. But what do we do? Do we be nice guys and invite them down so they can have photos? Or do we just not believe them and put the diary back in the drawer? Not believe them? Show them. Believe or not believe?
32:37 Declan Donnelly? I, I believe. I believe.
32:40 Ant McPartlin? I do believe. I do believe. Michelle, Katrina, we believe you.
32:42 Declan Donnelly? We do believe you. Why don't they come to the auditions in Blackpool for Britain's Got Talent?
32:47 Ant McPartlin? And make sure you've charged your phones with cameras on it. So when you take photos, you can show people and they believe you.
32:53 Declan Donnelly? And.
32:53 Ant McPartlin? Come down and meet us.
32:54 Declan Donnelly? The auditions for Britain's Got Talent in Blackpool are at the same theatre as summer holiday was. So we can have photographs at the stage door and recreate the photographs.
33:05 Ant McPartlin? Michelle, Katrina was meant to be, was meant to be that you sent in your diary.
33:09 Declan Donnelly? Come to the Britain's Got Talent auditions in October in Blackpool.
33:13 Ant McPartlin? When you say recreate the photos, what do you mean?
33:15 Declan Donnelly? I'll dye my hair ginger. Was my hair ginger at that time?
33:17 Ant McPartlin? I had to shave all my hair off.
33:18 Declan Donnelly? Or.
33:19 Ant McPartlin? Or spikes, breaky twists, twisty spikes.
33:21 Declan Donnelly? You get your twisty spikes and I'll find a shirt that looks like a pair of curtains. And we'll recreate.
33:28 Ant McPartlin? Dye your hair ginger.
33:28 Declan Donnelly? And we'll recreate the photos at the stage door in the Winter Gardens.
33:32 Ant McPartlin? It's a day. Meet you there in Blackpool later in the year.
33:37 Declan Donnelly? Cannes Film Festival this week.
33:39 Ant McPartlin? Ever mean.
33:41 Declan Donnelly? Been to Cannes. But unfortunately, we don't have our movie quite ready yet for the Film Festival.
33:47 Ant McPartlin? No, we don't.
33:47 Declan Donnelly? But there's some good movies, though, being screened at the Cannes Film Festival. But have you seen any of the red carpets?
33:54 Ant McPartlin? Over the years, I have, yes.
33:56 Declan Donnelly? There's been some, there's been some good red carpets down in Cannes. It got me thinking about, actually, when we did make a film, Alien Autopsy, and we had a premiere in Leicester Square, do you remember this?
34:07 Ant McPartlin? We had three premieres.
34:07 Declan Donnelly? We had three premieres.
34:08 Ant McPartlin? We had one in Leicester Square, we had one in Newcastle, and we had one in Dublin.
34:12 Declan Donnelly? And we were very excited. We'd made the film and we had the Leicester Square premiere coming up. And the film company went, we've had a brilliant idea for the premiere. Instead of doing a red carpet, because it's an alien film, we're going to do a green carpet.
34:30 Ant McPartlin? I mean, how is your luck? A green carpet. You know, these are, this is the thing of dreams. You know, to have your own movie and a red carpet leading up to the, to the audience in Leicester Square. That's like stuff that kids dream of that. It's aspirational. And the one time it happens for us, they turn it into a green carpet. There you go, there's the photo there, and it's snot green. That's not alien green, that is a snot green carpet. We had three premieres, so we, that was the first one in Leicester Square, which was really good and glitzy, and there's quite a lot of camera crews and everything. And the second one was in Newcastle, which was as glitzy. And the third was in Dublin, which was as glitzy. But by the time you get to the third premiere,
35:14 Ant McPartlin? so what you normally do is you'll, you'll walk down the red carpet, you'll talk to all the news crews and everything on the red carpet. Then you go through and you do a little Q and A on stage with the director. And then you sit, take your seats, watch the movie with everyone, get the reactions. By the time you get to the third premiere, we didn't sit and watch the movie.
35:34 Declan Donnelly? I couldn't sit through it again.
35:35 Ant McPartlin? We're not going to sit through it three times.
35:36 Declan Donnelly? I mean, you, you've seen it. You can't sit through that three times. It was three premieres in about the space of five or six days. So by the time we got to the Dublin one, we did the Q and A, we did that. And here it is, enjoy the film.
35:49 Ant McPartlin? It went really dark.
35:50 Declan Donnelly? Went really dark and we sneaked out. And there was a pub next door and we went and sat in the pub. And I think there was a match on and we sat and watched football.
35:57 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, we did and drank Guinness.
35:58 Declan Donnelly? And drank Guinness.
35:59 Speaker 04 How long are the red carpets?
36:01 Declan Donnelly? Sometimes red carpets can be as long as the awards ceremony or the film you're going to see. So sometimes, I mean, like the Oscars, you see them, they're on the red carpet for hours. Like here, when we go to the BAFTAs, that red carpet's about an hour long.
36:14 Ant McPartlin? And some people turn up to just do the red carpet, then go, which I find bizarre.
36:21 Declan Donnelly? They turn up and they're in their frock or in their outfit or whatever, and they do the whole red carpet and they have photographs all the way down. They get to the very end and have the one big photograph with the board at the back. And then sometimes they don't even go in, they just go straight, get in a car and go home.
36:35 Ant McPartlin? We've been lucky because we have been doing it for so long, you, you're not overwhelmed by it. It's still a bit awkward, but we're not overwhelmed by the occasion. You just, you know, you do it, it's a means to an end to get into the venue. But I can imagine for people just starting out and say, you know, say you're a kid actor and you get nominated for a BAFTA and you turn up to the TV BAFTAs and you are left on the red carpet. That must be, that must be tough.
37:03 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it's because it can be quite overwhelming.
37:05 Ant McPartlin? I must scramble your head, that must discombobulate.
37:07 Declan Donnelly? Yes, especially if you're 20 minutes early for it.
37:10 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, exactly. Imagine that.
37:14 Declan Donnelly? This is an advert for Gemini, Google's personal AI assistant.
37:18 Ant McPartlin? Right, I've got a board to pick with you. You know, the other week you berated my cardigan.
37:22 Declan Donnelly? Well, it.
37:23 Ant McPartlin? Berating.
37:24 Declan Donnelly? I didn't berate it, but I just gently poked fun at it.
37:27 Ant McPartlin? So I thought we'd put this matter to bed. Let's just ask Google Gemini.
37:31 Declan Donnelly? Google Gemini.
37:31 Ant McPartlin? So Gemini, are cardigans sexy?
37:34 Speaker 05 Cardigans can definitely be stylish and attractive. Some people might find them appealing.
37:40 Declan Donnelly? Some people might find them appealing. Doesn't sound very sexy to me. Hang on a minute, let me get you on the camera.
37:47 Ant McPartlin? I'm not wearing a cardigan.
37:48 Declan Donnelly? No, no, but.
37:48 Ant McPartlin? It's a jumper.
37:49 Declan Donnelly? That's all right. Gemini, on the whole, what could Anne do to elevate his look?
37:54 Speaker 05 You could try incorporating some trendy items like stylish sneakers or a modern jacket. Don't be afraid to experiment with bold colours and accessories to show your personality.
38:05 Ant McPartlin? Right, this is my personality, Gemini. Navy blue with cool trainers and a bracelet. That's it. It's very slimming.

38:38 Ant McPartlin? This is an advert for TV licensing.
38:41 Declan Donnelly? Lots of great telly on at the moment.
38:43 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
38:44 Declan Donnelly? What are you watching?
38:45 Ant McPartlin? Have you watched on ITV Secret Service?
38:48 Declan Donnelly? Ah, I haven't yet.
38:49 Ant McPartlin? It's good.
38:49 Declan Donnelly? Sounds amazing.
38:50 Ant McPartlin? It is. Shall I read you the blurb?
38:52 Declan Donnelly? Go on, talk it about.
38:53 Ant McPartlin? It's a British spy thriller, starring Gemma Arterton as an MI6 officer who uncovers a possible Russian mole inside the UK government.
39:00 Declan Donnelly? I know this, I know this, I know this.
39:01 Ant McPartlin? As she investigates, she's forced to choose between national security lightly and her own safety. I'm four episodes in, so I've got the last one to go. So no spoilers, you lot, right? You've seen it, it's very good. So if you were in the Secret Service in real life.
39:16 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
39:17 Ant McPartlin? Right, what would your fake name be? And what would your cover job be? Because I've thought about this a lot.
39:23 Declan Donnelly? Have you?
39:24 Ant McPartlin? Yeah. Well, my fake name is probably, I couldn't stray too far from my real name because I'd just get caught out. So it would have to be like Andy.
39:31 Declan Donnelly? Andy Mc.
39:33 Ant McPartlin? Andy McNab. Oh, that's a person, right? That's, is that person?
39:37 Declan Donnelly? He's an SES man.
39:38 Ant McPartlin? Oh, yeah. Oh, don't go on that one.
39:40 Declan Donnelly? No, no, no.
39:40 Ant McPartlin? Andy McBoobins.
39:42 Declan Donnelly? No.
39:43 Ant McPartlin? Tony, Tony Mark. My name would be Tony Mark.
39:46 Declan Donnelly? Tony Mark.
39:47 Ant McPartlin? My name would be Tony Mark and I would do this job.
39:51 Declan Donnelly? What, you'd be a TV presenter and a podcast?
39:53 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
39:54 Declan Donnelly? What?
39:54 Ant McPartlin? It's the perfect rouge, isn't it? Because I get to meet loads of different people. I'm never really doing the same thing twice.
40:01 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
40:02 Ant McPartlin? Like, all my jobs are in different parts of the world and I can just, as I go through passport control, they're like, what are you here for? I'm just here for TV presenting, but I'm not. I'm here to spy on you. But anyway, it's good. Uh, I, up to, I can't really rate it properly with a banana rating, but so far, seven bananas.
40:19 Declan Donnelly? Amazing.
40:20 Ant McPartlin? Let's hope the last step doesn't let me down.
40:22 Declan Donnelly? Did you see Who Wants to be a Millionaire recently got their seventh top prize winner, their seventh millionaire?
40:28 Ant McPartlin? Oh, I've read about that, yeah.
40:29 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
40:30 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, yeah.
40:30 Declan Donnelly? Great episode. I have got the million pound question.
40:33 Ant McPartlin? Do I have any lifelines?
40:34 Declan Donnelly? You do have lifelines. Fifty fifty.
40:36 Ant McPartlin? Right.
40:37 Declan Donnelly? And ask the host.
40:38 Ant McPartlin? Okay, go on then.
40:39 Declan Donnelly? Used since eighteen seventy six. Which trademarked logo is described in the James Joyce novel Ulysses? And depicted in works by Manet and Picasso? Is it A, Bass Ale? Is it B, the famous grouse? Is it C, Coca-Cola? Or is it D, Stella Artois?
41:01 Ant McPartlin? That is tricky, but I don't think it's Coca-Cola. So we will get rid of that. Let's go fifty fifty first before I I speak anymore.
41:08 Declan Donnelly? Fifty fifty leaves you with Coca-Cola.
41:11 Ant McPartlin? Oh.
41:12 Declan Donnelly? And Bass Ale.
41:13 Ant McPartlin? Oh, well, okay then. Well, I don't think it's Coca-Cola. Oh, God, I'm gonna be so wrong. Bass Ale.
41:18 Declan Donnelly? Final answer.
41:19 Ant McPartlin? Yeah?
41:20 Declan Donnelly? You've just won one million pounds!
41:22 Ant McPartlin? No way! Well, I was a guest of the Hock.
41:25 Declan Donnelly? You need to go on Millionaire, you need to go on Millionaire.
41:27 Ant McPartlin? I will, I will, I will, I will.
41:28 Declan Donnelly? Still doing the business, man!

42:19 Ant McPartlin? What day?
42:20 Declan Donnelly? Tattoo day. We haven't sorted out your tattoo yet.
42:22 Ant McPartlin? We haven't, no, we haven't. We had more tattoos. Loads, good. When is the day? Because I might need to do a few full body workouts before I get my body out.
42:33 Declan Donnelly? Do you need to wax or anything beforehand?
42:34 Ant McPartlin? Oh, see, see, very hairy man.
42:40 Declan Donnelly? So we've got, these are the possibles so far. But also we've got some new ones in here.
42:46 Ant McPartlin? Uh huh.
42:47 Declan Donnelly? So let's have a look at the latest ones. See if you like any of these. Any of these float your boat. Right, we've got this one.
42:57 Declan Donnelly? From Luke in Hertfordshire. He says, hi lads, greetings from Hertfordshire.
43:04 Ant McPartlin? Greetings Luke.
43:06 Declan Donnelly? Me and my sister Rebecca are big fans of the pod.
43:08 Ant McPartlin? Thanks.
43:08 Declan Donnelly? And we watch on the telly, only 50 inch, so not worth a touch in a photo.
43:13 Ant McPartlin? Okay.
43:16 Declan Donnelly? I've had you both on telly for our whole lives, 24 and 26 respectively. My sister has designed a tattoo for Aunt to take a look at.
43:23 Ant McPartlin? Right.
43:23 Declan Donnelly? It is a pizza box representing Saturday Night Takeaway with XX inside.
43:30 Ant McPartlin? The band?
43:30 Declan Donnelly? For Roman numerals for 20, 20 years of takeaway.
43:33 Ant McPartlin? Oh, right.
43:34 Declan Donnelly? Surrounded by eight bananas, signed with the pod slogan, Respect Guys. That's from Luke.
43:40 Ant McPartlin? Well.
43:40 Declan Donnelly? And Rebecca.
43:41 Ant McPartlin? Luke and Rebecca, as nice as that is, I feel like it's just a rip off of what we've already had. Do you remember we got all of these tattoos?
43:50 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
43:50 Ant McPartlin? And there was one in there with a pizza box and it said Saturday Night Takeaway.
43:54 Declan Donnelly? And we got eight bananas.
43:56 Ant McPartlin? So I don't think we can take this. I think they've just taken two ideas from previous people and amalgamated them, so.
44:03 Declan Donnelly? Or maybe they haven't stolen the ideas, maybe it's just, you know, two people can have the same idea, just trying to be kind. Um, and maybe it's.
44:11 Ant McPartlin? Intellectual theft.
44:13 Ant McPartlin? Intellectual theft.
44:14 Declan Donnelly? Maybe they've, maybe they've had the same idea and have come up with a similar design. We're not having it?
44:21 Ant McPartlin? It's like rip off, but it's staying on the body.
44:24 Declan Donnelly? Okay. This one is from Dawn.
44:26 Ant McPartlin? Hi Dawn.
44:27 Declan Donnelly? It is quite the design.
44:31 Declan Donnelly? It is combining two of your favourite things.
44:33 Ant McPartlin? You and?
44:34 Declan Donnelly? No, well, no. Bananas, obs.
44:37 Ant McPartlin? Obs.
44:38 Declan Donnelly? And.
44:38 Ant McPartlin? And?
44:39 Declan Donnelly? The angel of the north.
44:39 Ant McPartlin? Whoa, that's weird.
44:43 Declan Donnelly? It's the angel of the north.
44:44 Ant McPartlin? That's so weird.
44:45 Declan Donnelly? Bananas. It's one big banana for the body.
44:47 Ant McPartlin? That's so phallic and weird.
44:49 Declan Donnelly? And then a huge banana across for the wings.
44:51 Ant McPartlin? What?
44:52 Declan Donnelly? It's a bit weird.
44:53 Ant McPartlin? It's weird. I love it. It's creative and it's, it's a one off. Nobody, and I mean, nobody on this planet will have this tattoo. And I'm, and I'm for that.
45:04 Declan Donnelly? The more you look at it, the more it draws you in.
45:09 Ant McPartlin? Is that all we got then too?
45:10 Declan Donnelly? No, no, no, I've got one more.
45:11 Ant McPartlin? Okay.
45:12 Declan Donnelly? But this is probably as good as a guest.
45:13 Ant McPartlin? Stick it in the, stick it in the belly for now.
45:15 Declan Donnelly? Okay.
45:15 Ant McPartlin? I do have a tattoo across me belly there, uh, which is, uh, uh, winged sun. So I couldn't replace that. I'm not going to tattoo all of that with a banana. So I'm not going to.
45:25 Declan Donnelly? So we could, cause we could, we could change your winged sun into.
45:28 Ant McPartlin? No, no, no, I'm not changing them.
45:30 Declan Donnelly? Change your wings into a banana.
45:31 Ant McPartlin? Don't want to change your wings into banana. I love the angel of the north and I do like bananas. Therefore you're right, but together, I'm not sure.
45:41 Declan Donnelly? Got one here from Bethan.
45:44 Ant McPartlin? No, it's no, no, you're lying.
45:46 Declan Donnelly? E.
45:47 Ant McPartlin? Bethany, see, I knew it.
45:49 Declan Donnelly? Hi, I'm Deck.
45:50 Ant McPartlin? Hi.
45:50 Declan Donnelly? Please find a touch my tattoo design for ant. It is a pair of cheeky monkeys. Sexy and nice.
45:58 Declan Donnelly? Hanging out together.
45:59 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, I like it.
45:59 Declan Donnelly? That's from Bethany.
46:00 Ant McPartlin? That's cool. That's quite cool. Do you not like that?
46:04 Declan Donnelly? I quite like it.
46:05 Ant McPartlin? Do I have to put the sexy nice on? The kids are like that. I've had that. Two little cheeky monkeys. My wife loves monkeys. So I, I just say, I've got this for you.
46:12 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
46:13 Ant McPartlin? I say, you know, you love monkeys and you know, you like sexy and nice things.
46:17 Declan Donnelly? You're welcome.
46:18 Ant McPartlin? You're welcome. I put them on, I put them together.
46:20 Declan Donnelly? I like it.
46:21 Ant McPartlin? I like it.
46:22 Declan Donnelly? Where'd you put them?
46:24 Ant McPartlin? On me arm. On me arm there. That's where I've got a gap on my left arm.
46:28 Declan Donnelly? Okay. I quite like them. They're cheeky.
46:30 Ant McPartlin? I like them. They are cheeky. Two little monkeys, sexy and nice. Ooh, ooh, ha, ha. Do your best monkey.
46:37 Declan Donnelly? Ooh, ooh, ha, ha, ha.
46:38 Ant McPartlin? Good, eh? I win.
46:41 Ant McPartlin? Didn't win bowling. I didn't win that one. But I can make a better noise than a monkey.
46:45 Declan Donnelly? That's it for this week.
46:46 Ant McPartlin? Oh, God.
46:47 Declan Donnelly? The day is drawing closer.
46:48 Ant McPartlin? What have I done?
46:48 Declan Donnelly? D day, decision day, T day, tattoo day.
46:53 Ant McPartlin? In all seriousness, I thought there would be.
46:56 Declan Donnelly? Better.
46:57 Ant McPartlin? Better designs than this.
46:58 Declan Donnelly? Nah, so's.
46:59 Ant McPartlin? And I've committed, this will stay on my body forever. At the moment, there's nothing, and I mean nothing, the Simon Cowell picture included. There's nothing that I really wanna imprint my body with. And that's not gonna happen. I don't know why it's still on there.
47:14 Declan Donnelly? I like it.
47:15 Ant McPartlin? It's not set me world on fire though, and I've, and I've got to do it. I've committed to doing it. So I've got to do it. So please.
47:20 Declan Donnelly? We've still got a couple of months.
47:21 Ant McPartlin? This is a heartfelt plea to all of you out there. Um, get in touch with better designs and I, um, I'll pick the best one and imprint my body forever.
47:31 Declan Donnelly? Hanging out at beltabox.com. Let's, let's raise the game.
47:36 Declan Donnelly? I took the kids to the pictures the other day.
47:38 Ant McPartlin? Did you?
47:39 Declan Donnelly? To see The Magic Faraway Tree.
47:42 Ant McPartlin? Oh, yeah.
47:44 Declan Donnelly? Starring the lovely Claire Foy.
47:46 Ant McPartlin? Lovely Claire Foy.
47:47 Declan Donnelly? And Andrew Garfield loved it.
47:49 Ant McPartlin? Did you?
47:50 Declan Donnelly? It's so lovely.
47:50 Ant McPartlin? Is it?
47:51 Declan Donnelly? Well, I've never really read the book.
47:53 Ant McPartlin? What do you mean, never really?
47:54 Declan Donnelly? Well, I've read kind of every other chapter.
47:57 Ant McPartlin? Right, why?
47:58 Declan Donnelly? Because when we do bedtime with Isla, she's got the book, so I'll read a chapter. But then Ali does Isla the next night and then I do Jack.
48:09 Ant McPartlin? Right.
48:09 Declan Donnelly? So then Ali reads a chapter and then I come back the next night. So I've read every other chapter of the book. So sometimes I don't quite know what's going on.
48:16 Ant McPartlin? Okay.
48:17 Declan Donnelly? But so I've never really read the book, but I loved the movie.
48:20 Ant McPartlin? Oh, good.
48:21 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it's really lovely. You can imagine it's going to be on telly every Easter from now on.
48:26 Ant McPartlin? Right.
48:27 Declan Donnelly? Great story, great performances. Claire Foy is fantastic as always. Garfield's brilliant.
48:34 Ant McPartlin? Garfield?
48:34 Declan Donnelly? Garfield the cat. No, he's not in it. Andrew Garfield's brilliant. Nicola Cochrane from Dairy Girls is a fairy who's fantastic. Mark Heap, who was in.
48:46 Ant McPartlin? Friday Night Dinner?
48:47 Declan Donnelly? Friday Night Dinner and in Our Thing on Saturday Night Takeaway. Which one? Bigwig?
48:53 Ant McPartlin? Bigwig, Murderer Bigwig Manor?
48:55 Declan Donnelly? That's it. He's fantastic in it. It's really lovely, really heartwarming, very funny. Written by Simon Farnaby, who wrote Paddington and Paddington Two.
49:04 Ant McPartlin? I love the Paddington movies.
49:05 Declan Donnelly? So he wrote it. It's very funny, very heartwarming.
49:08 Ant McPartlin? Come on, get to it. Banana rating, please.
49:11 Declan Donnelly? Seven and a half bananas.
49:13 Ant McPartlin? Oh, wow. That's high. That's the highest you've ever given anything?
49:18 Declan Donnelly? I think it is. It's lovely.
49:22 Declan Donnelly? It's a little bit long. That was my only thing. Last 10 minutes, the kids.
49:25 Ant McPartlin? What was the runtime?
49:26 Declan Donnelly? This kid's got a little bit jittery. I reckon it was an hour and 45, hour and 50.
49:31 Ant McPartlin? Right.
49:32 Declan Donnelly? But it was just, the kids got a little bit twitchy at the end.
49:35 Ant McPartlin? Right, okay.
49:36 Declan Donnelly? But loved it.
49:38 Ant McPartlin? Good. I'll watch it then.
49:39 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it's really good. It's really lovely. The kids love it.
49:41 Ant McPartlin? Watched a good movie the other night.
49:43 Declan Donnelly? Have we got a banana rating?
49:43 Ant McPartlin? We do have a banana.
49:44 Declan Donnelly? Come on, what was it?
49:45 Ant McPartlin? So you and I love a heist movie, don't we?
49:48 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
49:49 Ant McPartlin? We do like a heist movie. It stars Chris Hemsworth.
49:53 Declan Donnelly? Brilliant.
49:53 Ant McPartlin? As the robber. It's called Crime 101. Terrible title.
49:57 Declan Donnelly? That is, yeah.
49:58 Ant McPartlin? It doesn't make sense.
49:59 Declan Donnelly? It sounds like a BBC one daytime show.
50:01 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
50:02 Declan Donnelly? Hosted by Gloria Honeyford, Angela Rippon.
50:07 Ant McPartlin? Welcome to Crime 101. It's really good. It's really good. I'm not going to give anything away. I'll just say it's on Amazon, Prime Video. I would give it six out of eight bananas.
50:18 Declan Donnelly? That's good.
50:19 Ant McPartlin? That is good. Saturday night, if you want a big blockbuster-y movie, but it's not ridiculous blockbuster-y.
50:23 Declan Donnelly? Oh, right. Good, okay.
50:24 Ant McPartlin? It's got a good story to it, really good performances in it. He's particularly good. Crime 101. Terrible title, good movie.
50:32 Declan Donnelly? There you go. Saturday night film, straight after Britain's Got Talent.
50:35 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, perfect. Six bananas.
50:37 Declan Donnelly? Love it. The Chair Company.
50:38 Ant McPartlin? Is it good?
50:39 Declan Donnelly? It's very good.
50:41 Ant McPartlin? Good.
50:41 Declan Donnelly? Stars Tim Robinson.
50:43 Ant McPartlin? From I Think You Should Leave?
50:44 Declan Donnelly? I Think, I Think You Should Leave, which is a sketch show on Netflix.
50:47 Ant McPartlin? Funny, the funniest, stupidest sketch show ever.
50:50 Declan Donnelly? And this, this drama, comedy drama, is in the same vein of that.
50:55 Ant McPartlin? Right.
50:55 Declan Donnelly? It's about a guy who works in a company that builds shopping malls. And he's been promoted to look after this next big project, and he does a big speech at the very beginning. So he does his speech, he gets a round, big round of applause, and he walks over to the other side of the stage where other people who work there are sitting. And he sits on the chair and the chair collapses.
51:14 Ant McPartlin? Right.
51:15 Declan Donnelly? And everybody laughs at him and he goes back to his office and nobody mentions how good his speech was. They just go, oh my god, you fell off the chair. So he starts, so he wants to put a complaint into the Chair Company.
51:26 Ant McPartlin? Right.
51:26 Declan Donnelly? And so he Googles the Chair Company about how to make a complaint. And he can't quite get to the right place to make a complaint. And then he goes, so who is the Chair Company? And then he starts delving deeper and deeper into who the Chair Company is.
51:41 Ant McPartlin? Right.
51:42 Declan Donnelly? And there is a bigger story to it.
51:45 Ant McPartlin? Funny?
51:46 Declan Donnelly? Very funny, completely stupid.
51:50 Ant McPartlin? Would my wife like it?
51:51 Declan Donnelly? Probably not.
51:53 Ant McPartlin? Okay.
51:54 Declan Donnelly? It's a bit, it's a bit silly, but you get so involved in it. Where it starts out, it's such a stupid basis of eight, eight or 10 part series.
52:05 Ant McPartlin? Right.
52:05 Declan Donnelly? That he just wants to make a complaint because he fell off a chair.
52:08 Ant McPartlin? Right.
52:08 Declan Donnelly? And then he gets into a whole world of espionage and spying and. And breaking into warehouses.
52:15 Ant McPartlin? I need to watch on my own.
52:16 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it's definitely.
52:17 Ant McPartlin? On the way to Australia.
52:18 Declan Donnelly? Well, I watched it on a plane.
52:20 Ant McPartlin? Right, yeah, okay.
52:21 Declan Donnelly? I, I did like seven episodes on the plane on my own.
52:24 Ant McPartlin? Did you?
52:24 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, it's great.
52:25 Ant McPartlin? Right, okay, I'll watch it.
52:26 Declan Donnelly? It's stupid, but funny, and it hooks you in.
52:29 Ant McPartlin? Tell you where I'll watch it, on the way to film the new show that we've just announced, which hopefully will be getting their bananas in the future from you guys. Holy moly.
52:40 Declan Donnelly? Oh, I'm so excited.
52:42 Ant McPartlin? Know about it? We, we haven't talked about it on here before, have we? It is basically, it's, it's a brand new show. It's, it's been on in the States and in Australia. But it's a new show and it is a supersized version of mini golf, where the competitors play a supersized course in the hope of winning the plaid jacket, uh, goal and putter and a small prize total. But it's brilliant. Silly, funny, family friendly.
53:15 Ant McPartlin? It's really good. Can't wait. Can't wait to start shooting it.
53:17 Declan Donnelly? It's the world's biggest mini golf tournament. So you know like crazy golf where you have to hit it through the windmill? This windmill is massive and you hit the ball through the windmill and the propellers are going. And then you have to follow the ball through the windmill without getting hit.
53:30 Ant McPartlin? And you might get hit.
53:31 Declan Donnelly? And you might get hit. And if you get hit, you're off and you're in the water. There is a, um, a slip and slide one with a massive polar bear, um, that you have to, uh, climb up a slippery slope to hit your ball back down the slope.
53:45 Ant McPartlin? There's another hole called corn hole where it's a giant sweet corn. And you've got to, um, hit your pot and then make your way past the sweet corn. But you don't know which piece of corn is going to pop out and turn into popcorn. And if it gets you, you're in the water.
54:01 Declan Donnelly? So it's, it's big, it's silly, it's funny, but also it's very, very competitive.
54:08 Ant McPartlin? And it's very us, because you know, we love golf. And I didn't give away my putt, did I, last week?
54:12 Declan Donnelly? No, you didn't.
54:13 Ant McPartlin? Last week's show.
54:13 Declan Donnelly? Oh, that's why.
54:14 Ant McPartlin? For a very good reason, Declan.
54:15 Declan Donnelly? He's gonna use it.
54:16 Ant McPartlin? I hope I can take on the course. We should definitely do the course.
54:20 Declan Donnelly? Oh, yeah, we've got to.
54:21 Ant McPartlin? I mean, we're not taking part, we're hosting it.
54:22 Declan Donnelly? That's the only reason I'm doing the show, I wanna play it.
54:24 Ant McPartlin? We wanna play, right?
54:25 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, definitely.
54:26 Ant McPartlin? Okay, good. We film that later in the air, so hopefully it'll be on air next year.
54:32 Declan Donnelly? Shall we have some letters?
54:33 Ant McPartlin? Yes, please.
54:33 Declan Donnelly? Let me get the postbag.
54:35 Ant McPartlin? Bringing all that.
54:35 Declan Donnelly? Oh, there's a parcel in here.
54:37 Ant McPartlin? Is there?
54:39 Declan Donnelly? A parcel?
54:40 Ant McPartlin? For me? Who's it for? Who's it for?
54:43 Declan Donnelly? Is it an apple pencil?
54:44 Ant McPartlin? It actually says, "Hang it out". Says, "Hang it out" here.
54:46 Declan Donnelly? Oh, really?
54:47 Ant McPartlin? On the, on the, uh, address. That's cool. Fragile. Fragile, eh?
54:54 Ant McPartlin? What? Don't do that. Don't do that.
54:56 Declan Donnelly? It's fragile.
54:56 Ant McPartlin? Is it that fragile? Yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, I thought it was a joke.
55:02 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, I often do that. Put fragile stuff and send it through the post, just for laughs.
55:09 Ant McPartlin? Um, who can open this one? Either? Shall I start with this? Start with the fragile box?
55:14 Declan Donnelly? Yes.
55:15 Ant McPartlin? Just bashed.
55:17 Ant McPartlin? Oh. To Ant and Dec, really enjoying the pod, and it's taken me back to the SMTV Live years. I used to write in all the time. Uh, I phoned in for Wonky Donkey, and I even sent in a massive crisp, but it never got featured. Sad face. Doing a sad face. I was in some crisps today. Oh, no.
55:41 Declan Donnelly? Ah, I can see where this is going.
55:43 Ant McPartlin? And I saw this one. Hopefully it gets you in one piece. Mmm, sauce.
55:48 Declan Donnelly? Well, it did get us in one piece, whether it's still in one piece now.
55:50 Ant McPartlin? Respect, guys. Candies. Uh, PS, it does make it, if it does make it, need a postbag. In one piece, I think I deserve a prize.
55:58 Declan Donnelly? Okay. So if you don't remember this from Saturday mornings from SMTV, there was one Friday night, I was round my house eating a bag of crisps and I pulled out the biggest crisp out of my crisp packet. And I was so excited, I ran round to Ant's house and knocked on the door, I said, "Look at the size of this." And he said, "Bring it in tomorrow and we'll do it off the show." So we just showed a massive crisp and got people to send in big items of food that they found.
56:22 Ant McPartlin? But then we started eating them, I started eating the crisps.
56:24 Declan Donnelly? Live on air.
56:25 Ant McPartlin? And it wasn't until somebody said to us, "What, people might have spat on the crisps or anything." "Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. I just thought it was funny."
56:33 Declan Donnelly? This is quite exciting.
56:35 Ant McPartlin? So let's slide it out on the desk.
56:39 Declan Donnelly? This is brilliantly packed.
56:42 Ant McPartlin? This is like something from the antics roadshow, you know, when they're like slowly unwrapping it with white gloves on. Is this?
56:56 Ant McPartlin? It's alright.
56:58 Declan Donnelly? It's just a crisp.
57:01 Ant McPartlin? Candice, it's just a crisp. So that's just like a normal crisp, isn't it?
57:07 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, that's, that's what.
57:08 Ant McPartlin? Hold on, I've got some crisps out here. Right, I bought some crisps here, right, for lunch. So this is, this is not set up, let's just see if there's any sizes in here. Well, maybe just have one. Any sizes in here?
57:24 Declan Donnelly? No, no.
57:25 Ant McPartlin? That's the biggest one.
57:27 Declan Donnelly? That one and that one.
57:28 Ant McPartlin? Hold on. It is pretty big. But that's a small bag. If I was to buy like, you know, a big grab bag, I'd expect to be a crisp about that size.
57:40 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
57:40 Ant McPartlin? What does it taste like though?
57:42 Declan Donnelly? Well, it smells.
57:43 Ant McPartlin? Oh.
57:45 Declan Donnelly? It's like a ham, like a jambon, like a chamon.
57:49 Ant McPartlin? Oh yeah, it smells good.
57:50 Declan Donnelly? Like a hamon.
57:51 Ant McPartlin? Trying to get these mixed up. Thanks Candice.
57:55 Ant McPartlin? Nice trip down memory lane and all that, but you're not going to win a prize.
57:58 Declan Donnelly? I expected more.
57:59 Ant McPartlin? I expected much more.
58:00 Declan Donnelly? That was quite a build up.
58:01 Ant McPartlin? That was a big build up, there's a lot of unwrapping, as unboxing videos go.
58:07 Ant McPartlin? It was, it felt quite short.
58:09 Declan Donnelly? That's not really doing it for me.
58:10 Ant McPartlin? Nah, throw it in the bin.
58:12 Declan Donnelly? No.
58:12 Ant McPartlin? What, I'm not gonna wrap it back up? Put it on the shelf. Put it on the shelf, good idea.
58:16 Declan Donnelly? And let's see how long it lasts.
58:17 Ant McPartlin? Put it in front of Baby John Pork and see if it lasts. There we go. I appreciate the trip down memory lane, Candice. Thank you very much.
58:24 Declan Donnelly? Got one here from Paul.
58:27 Ant McPartlin? Hi Paul.
58:27 Declan Donnelly? Hi Ant Dec. Me and my partner Holly went to Tesco the other day and was surprised to see Aunt's van parked in the car park. Does Dec know you have another job? Cleaning ovens?
58:39 Ant McPartlin? What? It's him again! It's him again! That's the guy from the ice cream!
58:45 Declan Donnelly? That's so good.
58:46 Ant McPartlin? That is the guy from the ice cream!
58:48 Declan Donnelly? That's so good.
58:49 Ant McPartlin? How are they getting away with this? How are they doing this?
58:53 Declan Donnelly? We've got to recreate this at the end of the pod.
58:55 Ant McPartlin? Okay, we'll do that.
58:56 Declan Donnelly? Obviously we had to take a photo. Respect, guys. Paul.
58:58 Ant McPartlin? I get it. I get it. Somebody is ripping me off, big style. And I don't like it. Once was fun, two is copyright infringement. Anyone got a sponge? Oh, it's wet! What have you been wiping up?
59:13 Declan Donnelly? Uh, can you recreate that?
59:14 Ant McPartlin? I think I probably can.
59:15 Declan Donnelly? Left hand up?
59:16 Ant McPartlin? Up.
59:17 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
59:17 Ant McPartlin? Thumbs up when I look at you.
59:19 Declan Donnelly? Yeah, head tilted slightly to your left. And looking down, and that's it. And just, and turn your thumb out a bit. Ah, see? And stretch it out a bit.
59:29 Ant McPartlin? Yeah!
59:32 Declan Donnelly? There he is. There he is. I love it.
59:36 Ant McPartlin? I'm gonna sue. Not, not this guy. Whoever comes up with that, it's me. So they're just using me to advertise different services and products.
59:47 Declan Donnelly? You've got a trustworthy face.
59:48 Ant McPartlin? To find out who I can sue, I'm gonna sue the illustrator. But thanks, thanks for your love.
59:55 Ant McPartlin? This is an advert for Santander. Who understand that saving for your first home can feel almost impossible and the road to owning can be a bumpy one.
1:00:03 Declan Donnelly? First one here is from Alex. Dear Aggie and Dandare.
1:00:07 Ant McPartlin? Yes.
1:00:07 Declan Donnelly? I need your help.
1:00:08 Ant McPartlin? Mm-hmm.
1:00:08 Declan Donnelly? I live with a housemate and she is so messy.
1:00:11 Ant McPartlin? Ah.
1:00:12 Declan Donnelly? There's always hair clogging the sink, piles of dirty dishes on the side. I hate that. Moldy fruit in the fridge and she never takes the bins out.
1:00:20 Ant McPartlin? Oh.
1:00:21 Declan Donnelly? I'm looking to buy soon, so I know this isn't a forever problem, but it's really getting to me and I feel like I should say or do something. I'm not great with confrontation though, and we're both in the house a lot, so I don't want to cause any friction. Any advice on how to manage the situation?
1:00:34 Ant McPartlin? You've kind of boxed yourself in here, haven't you?
1:00:36 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
1:00:36 Ant McPartlin? You're not great with confrontation and you don't want to say too much, yet these things are building up inside you and you've got resentment. It's going to come out one way or the other. So whether, whether you confront that person directly or it comes out indirectly in a massive row about something trivial, it's going to come out.
1:00:55 Declan Donnelly? Is there a way you could do it with like a, um, maybe a chart on the fridge?
1:01:02 Ant McPartlin? Yes, charts work. My daughters at uni and that's what they do.
1:01:04 Declan Donnelly? Right, okay.
1:01:05 Ant McPartlin? She got the chart system in and I think that's the way, it's the fairest way to do it, some kind of chart system.
1:01:10 Declan Donnelly? Jobs on a chart. Alex, you might have to just do the bins. You might just have to suck it up.
1:01:15 Ant McPartlin? That's all right. Bins is easy. Bins is actually easier.
1:01:19 Declan Donnelly? Bins is easy.
1:01:19 Ant McPartlin? It is. Hairs in the sink. I'd much rather do the bins than hairs in the sink. Pick and choose your jobs. But if they're slovenly and they're slobby, there's not a lot you can do about that. Just take away the calendar till the day you move out.
1:01:34 Declan Donnelly? I think a chart on the fridge, uh, rotor jobs.
1:01:37 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, you've got to rotor it.
1:01:38 Declan Donnelly? And, yeah, and if the jobs aren't done, then there's a penalty, like she's got to buy a takeaway. Got another one here. This is from Chloe. Dear Agony Antanday.
1:01:51 Ant McPartlin? Hi.
1:01:52 Declan Donnelly? My boyfriend and I have recently bought our first place together.
1:01:54 Ant McPartlin? Woo hoo.
1:01:55 Declan Donnelly? And I've been so excited to properly decorate and make the place our own. However.
1:02:00 Ant McPartlin? Ah.
1:02:01 Declan Donnelly? There was one small issue. We completely clash in our taste of what looks good. I wanted to be a calm space, neutral colours, tasteful prints, nice candle on the coffee table. My boyfriend on the other hand, has this gnome wearing a football kit. He wants to keep in the living room, wooden ducks in wellies and a collection of ugly canvases he wants on the walls. We obviously had these things in our last place when we were renting, but it was so tiny. I managed to convince him there wasn't space and to keep them all in storage.
1:02:30 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
1:02:30 Declan Donnelly? But now it's our proper home together.
1:02:32 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
1:02:32 Declan Donnelly? I don't feel like I'm hating on his things.
1:02:34 Ant McPartlin? But you are.
1:02:35 Declan Donnelly? But at the same time, they are horrible.
1:02:36 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
1:02:37 Declan Donnelly? Any advice on how I should handle it?
1:02:38 Ant McPartlin? Dump him. Dump him. He has terrible taste.
1:02:42 Declan Donnelly? Dump him and his ugly stuff.
1:02:43 Ant McPartlin? Dump him and his ugly. You can't put that, you know, you're mature now. You've grown. You can't be putting that crap there.
1:02:50 Declan Donnelly? That's for student digs and for.
1:02:52 Ant McPartlin? Yes, that's for rented accommodation and studio, you know, house shares. It's not for your first home together.
1:02:58 Declan Donnelly? No.
1:02:59 Ant McPartlin? But I do think they should be compromised. It can't all be her way.
1:03:02 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
1:03:02 Ant McPartlin? She seems quite controlling. Maybe she's the problem.
1:03:06 Ant McPartlin? Um, give a little.
1:03:09 Declan Donnelly? Give a little bit.
1:03:09 Ant McPartlin? Life is all about compromises. You've got to give a little bit.
1:03:12 Declan Donnelly? You do.
1:03:13 Ant McPartlin? What's the least offensive thing?
1:03:15 Declan Donnelly? They all sound quite offensive.
1:03:17 Ant McPartlin? Yeah, they do.
1:03:17 Declan Donnelly? The no more in a football kit.
1:03:19 Ant McPartlin? Depends what football kit is. If it's black and white stripes, that's not offensive to me.
1:03:22 Declan Donnelly? You can't, look, he can have the norm in the house, but maybe not in the living room.
1:03:25 Ant McPartlin? In the back on. The norm is for the gone, right? So that's interesting. I think if you're looking out the, the, the kitchen window and we put it right in our line of sight, that would be better because every morning you come down and say, morning norm, like dress it up like he's a really good idea. Make him think that he's had the idea.
1:03:43 Declan Donnelly? Yeah.
1:03:43 Ant McPartlin? Or put everything on the side and then accidentally break them.
1:03:47 Declan Donnelly? I mean, that is the other thing, isn't it?
1:03:48 Ant McPartlin? That's the way to do it.
1:03:49 Declan Donnelly? When he comes back one day from the pub and, oh God, Normie's heads fell off.
1:03:54 Ant McPartlin? Yeah.
1:03:54 Declan Donnelly? It was a, there's been a terrible accident. Bit of compromise.
1:03:57 Ant McPartlin? Compromise.
1:03:58 Declan Donnelly? But definitely don't let him have it in the living room.
1:04:00 Ant McPartlin? Nah.

1:04:54 Ant McPartlin? Still haven't spent anything.
1:04:56 Declan Donnelly? Have you not?
1:04:56 Ant McPartlin? No, so can I quickly, just before we go, can I have a banana?
1:04:58 Declan Donnelly? Oh yeah, go on.
1:05:01 Ant McPartlin? This is week three, still haven't bought. Thank you very much. Don't want to make it all about me, but give me a banana, I think. Woah, I love the noise of that, thank you.
1:05:11 Declan Donnelly? That's really good going.
1:05:12 Ant McPartlin? Thank you very much.
1:05:13 Speaker 04 Jack, we've just found out that those shoes are worth £400, so you know.
1:05:17 Declan Donnelly? My trainers, that I'm gonna swap?
1:05:19 Speaker 04 Yeah.
1:05:20 Ant McPartlin? It's £400 quid?
1:05:20 Speaker 04 Yeah.
1:05:22 Ant McPartlin? I told you, I told you they'd be like a collab or something, something rare.
1:05:25 Declan Donnelly? Is it too late to put them on eBay?
1:05:27 Ant McPartlin? You can't, you can't pull that out now.
1:05:28 Declan Donnelly? Why not?
1:05:29 Ant McPartlin? You can't pull out, no that's it. No, you've said you're gonna swap them.
1:05:32 Declan Donnelly? You're kidding me.
1:05:33 Ant McPartlin? Get in touch if you want a pair of £400 trainers.
1:05:36 Declan Donnelly? Oh my god, I feel sick.
1:05:36 Ant McPartlin? Thanks for listening, guys. See you next week. Respect, guys. Come on, get them out of here. Can't change your mind.
1:05:42 Declan Donnelly? Oh.
1:05:42 Ant McPartlin? That's it.
1:05:43 Declan Donnelly? I'm gonna have to sort this out.
1:05:44 Ant McPartlin? Bye.
