  Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon Fall Drop, because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's Fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces, so I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece, and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 0:32Speaker 02

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?

• 0:33Speaker 01

  Uh, Taylor Hanson? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.

• 0:39Speaker 03

  Hey, let's get back to work, please.

• 0:40Speaker 01

  But Taylor Hanson's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites.

• 0:45Speaker 03

  Taylor Hanson? Nice.

• 0:47Speaker 02

  Try one.

• 0:48Speaker 03

  Mmm.

• 0:52Speaker 04

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. There's nothing like it.

• 1:00Ant McPartlin?

  Coming up on the show, I find out something I never knew about Deck. Since when? This is a bit of a deep dive in our friendship, I think.

• 1:08Declan Donnelly?

  A friendly face dials in?

• 1:10Ant McPartlin?

  Incoming call.

• 1:11Declan Donnelly?

  That has never happened before.

• 1:12Ant McPartlin?

  Deck, he is from his 90s crush.

• 1:15Speaker 07

  I always had a crush on you. If you'd said something, we could have gone for a teaser.

• 1:19Declan Donnelly?

  This famous guy swapped something? I really, really, really would like a...

• 1:26Ant McPartlin?

  And I remade those sweet fried eggs.

• 1:28Declan Donnelly?

  Enjoy the show!

• 1:34Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, Deck, what's he supposed to be?

• 1:37Declan Donnelly?

  I found it.

• 1:40Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, guys!

• 1:41Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, everybody!

• 1:42Ant McPartlin?

  Music's riled, everything. Is that what happens in the podcast world?

• 1:46Declan Donnelly?

  We're not on air yet. We're on the air.

• 1:49Ant McPartlin?

  We're on the air, good.

• 1:50Declan Donnelly?

  Hello, everybody.

• 1:51Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, everybody.

• 1:51Declan Donnelly?

  Good morning, good evening. Welcome along, welcome back to the hangout for more hanging out with him and me. I feel a bit...

• 1:58Ant McPartlin?

  You weren't even looking down, come on, you said, you're distracted.

• 2:00Declan Donnelly?

  I'm just, I mean, my thing's gone limp. My microphone's limp.

• 2:04Ant McPartlin?

  What is going on?

• 2:05Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know, I'm discombobulated.

• 2:08Ant McPartlin?

  This is the kind of thing Fiona and Lola would do.

• 2:11Declan Donnelly?

  Sorry, everybody.

• 2:11Ant McPartlin?

  What are you doing now?

• 2:12Declan Donnelly?

  My microphone's all over the place. I've lost my phone. But now I'm ready for action. Woo hoo. It's great to be back with you again. Nice to be here.

• 2:22Ant McPartlin?

  Double denim today, I see.

• 2:23Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I was, I was gonna ask you this. Is this sort-

• 2:26Ant McPartlin?

  Behind the green door, green door. There's an old P L. I'm here, behind the green door. It is a bit shaky, Stevens, but I like it.

• 2:34Declan Donnelly?

  Is it sort of toryly acceptable?

• 2:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:36Ant McPartlin?

  What, double denim? Yeah, of course it is.

• 2:38Declan Donnelly?

  Is it?

• 2:38Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 2:39Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:40Declan Donnelly?

  For, for those of you just listening, I have denim jeans on.

• 2:43Ant McPartlin?

  I think they've worked that out.

• 2:44Declan Donnelly?

  And a denim-

• 2:45Ant McPartlin?

  I said double denim.

• 2:46Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it's the same, it's the same-

• 2:47Ant McPartlin?

  It's the same colour, so it's all right. So it looks like a bodysuit, like a denim bodysuit he's wearing.

• 2:51Declan Donnelly?

  No, it doesn't look like it. Is that all right?

• 2:54Ant McPartlin?

  We've established it's good.

• 2:55Declan Donnelly?

  Is it nice, though?

• 2:56Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean?

• 2:58Declan Donnelly?

  Well, do, go look.

• 2:59Ant McPartlin?

  Jesus Christ, fishing for compliments, I want. You look great.

• 3:02Declan Donnelly?

  Ah, I don't like it.

• 3:04Ant McPartlin?

  Is that what you were waiting for?

• 3:04Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 3:05Ant McPartlin?

  Hello, everyone. It feels like ages since we've seen you. I know it hasn't been, but it feels like, because we've been away.

• 3:10Declan Donnelly?

  We've packed a lot in.

• 3:11Ant McPartlin?

  We have packed a lot in.

• 3:12Declan Donnelly?

  Been on holidays.

• 3:13Ant McPartlin?

  We went away, I went off to Portugal for a couple of days.

• 3:16Declan Donnelly?

  Woo hoo.

• 3:18Ant McPartlin?

  Bit of sunshine, as you can tell by my tan. Cool, huh? That was good, played a bit of golf.

• 3:23Declan Donnelly?

  Nice.

• 3:23Ant McPartlin?

  Spent a lot of time with the kids. All three of them were there, lovely. A lovely time. You?

• 3:27Declan Donnelly?

  I went away also with the kids.

• 3:29Ant McPartlin?

  I mean, at home, so, because your kids are very young, so you can't really leave them at home.

• 3:32Declan Donnelly?

  I did think about it.

• 3:33Ant McPartlin?

  Did you? Did you?

• 3:35Declan Donnelly?

  We went away and got a bit of sun, as you probably can't tell from my tan. For those of you just listening, I look exactly the same. And then I got back and I went to Newcastle. Went to the Toon.

• 3:46Ant McPartlin?

  How was the Toon?

• 3:46Declan Donnelly?

  It was good. A lot of people stopped me in the street, who are very much enjoying the pod.

• 3:50Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I've had lots of people.

• 3:51Declan Donnelly?

  Lot of people asking about-

• 3:52Ant McPartlin?

  Talking about the pod.

• 3:53Declan Donnelly?

  Lot of people asking about your pants.

• 3:54Ant McPartlin?

  Were they?

• 3:55Declan Donnelly?

  Asking how much they were.

• 3:56Ant McPartlin?

  Did you tell them?

• 3:57Declan Donnelly?

  I did.

• 3:58Ant McPartlin?

  What did they say?

• 3:59Declan Donnelly?

  There was a lot of, "Shut up, man."

• 4:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I bet, I bet man was involved. Lot of swear words.

• 4:03Declan Donnelly?

  Lot of, "Shut up, man."

• 4:04Ant McPartlin?

  Did you tell them?

• 4:05Declan Donnelly?

  I did tell them.

• 4:06Ant McPartlin?

  Right, good.

• 4:06Declan Donnelly?

  Um, did that, and then I got a few, and more to do with the jet skis. So I had a bit of the jet skis at chat, chat as well.

• 4:12Ant McPartlin?

  Did you tell them?

• 4:13Declan Donnelly?

  I, I told them.

• 4:13Ant McPartlin?

  And what did they say?

• 4:14Declan Donnelly?

  "How did you do that?"

• 4:15Ant McPartlin?

  "Shut up, man."

• 4:16Declan Donnelly?

  "Shut up, man." Um, so yeah, a lot of people, met a Bethan.

• 4:20Ant McPartlin?

  No, you didn't.

• 4:20Declan Donnelly?

  I met a Bethan in Newcastle.

• 4:22Ant McPartlin?

  Did you?

• 4:22Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. Said, "Tell aunt you've met a Bethan."

• 4:25Ant McPartlin?

  Eh, they exist. You wait till it's, uh, Mystery Door Monday and there's just like 7,000 Bethans lined up behind the door.

• 4:34Declan Donnelly?

  I brought everybody, uh, present back from Newcastle.

• 4:36Ant McPartlin?

  Uh huh. What?

• 4:38Declan Donnelly?

  Would you like to see?

• 4:38Ant McPartlin?

  Peas butter?

• 4:39Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 4:40Ant McPartlin?

  Damn it. A copy of The Chronicle?

• 4:45Declan Donnelly?

  Stotties!

• 4:47Ant McPartlin?

  Come on, shall we have some?

• 4:49Declan Donnelly?

  Do you want a bit of stotti?

• 4:50Ant McPartlin?

  So these are basically a large BAP, you get them in Newcastle. And Greg's in Newcastle is the only place that does them. In the rest of the country, Greg's don't sell stotties. So we would like to, um, is that even a knife? It's a spatula, isn't it? Somebody's been doing some painting.

• 5:08Declan Donnelly?

  It's like a tiny surfboard. So this is a stotti. It's been a few days, I bought it a few days ago because I got back. But it's all right, no, it's just not as fresh as it should be. I'm just cutting me stotti.

• 5:20Ant McPartlin?

  You need a stotti a good few days later though. They do keep very well. And then put them in the freezer. If you up in Newcastle, buy them, take them home, put them in the freezer. And then take them out the freezer, pop them straight in the toaster. Gorgeous. So Dex slicing up the stotti as we speak, you got any butter?

• 5:35Declan Donnelly?

  We need some butter. We were getting butter, it was coming, but it's not arrived yet.

• 5:39Ant McPartlin?

  Well, don't, what are you doing with your finger? Don't, well, don't do that.

• 5:42Declan Donnelly?

  No, but what you do is ham, peas pudding.

• 5:46Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, peas pudding is split peas, which is boiled and then kind of mushed.

• 5:51Declan Donnelly?

  Mushed up. Ham and peas pudding, stotti.

• 5:54Ant McPartlin?

  That's your typical stotti filling, ham and peas pudding. If you're from Newcastle. It doesn't really have an end this though, because there's no butter.

• 6:00Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I need the butter.

• 6:01Ant McPartlin?

  I'd like to pop that in my mouth. That needs to go in my mouth right now. I could tell you what I've been up to whilst we wait for the butter.

• 6:07Declan Donnelly?

  Go on then.

• 6:07Ant McPartlin?

  So there's a mall in Portugal that I know very well and nobody knows us over there. So I love going shopping there because I'm just kind of walk around. Nobody, nobody comes up there, you're kind of anonymous. You can just walk around, you can go shopping anywhere you want. So I pop into the-

• 6:22Declan Donnelly?

  It's like being Stephen Mulhern in Westfield.

• 6:25Ant McPartlin?

  So I parked in this shop and I tried on a pair of shoes and they were like a suede loafer. As we both, we both like a suede loafer. An easy loafer, everyday loafer, you know, not too expensive, 80 euros, right? Which doesn't break the bank.

• 6:38Declan Donnelly?

  That's a snip.

• 6:39Ant McPartlin?

  But it's not bad. And I was like, right, I'll have the navy, I'll have the black, I'll have the grey and I will have the chocolate brown.

• 6:45Declan Donnelly?

  That's not like you.

• 6:46Ant McPartlin?

  No, no, hold on, hold on. So she, the woman went, so I'm sorry? I said, yes, I'll have the navy, the brown. So I asked for all of the colours and then I had a little word with myself and thought, what are you doing? This is, this is, this is how I end up paying so much for jet skis and so much for pants because I buy multiples and I buy them in every colour. So I bought one pair, navy blue pair. I mean, because they didn't have any other nice sizes available, which is why.

• 7:12Declan Donnelly?

  You weren't being restrained.

• 7:14Ant McPartlin?

  No, but I did walk away from there and I spoke to my wife and I was like, right, this is the start of a financial detox. And I'm not gonna buy anything for a month, two months. Shall I do a month and see how I get on?

• 7:27Declan Donnelly?

  What do you mean by anything?

• 7:29Ant McPartlin?

  I'm not gonna buy anything. I'm not gonna buy clothes. The only thing I'll buy if it's necessary, like if I have to buy dog food so my dogs can eat.

• 7:36Declan Donnelly?

  Deodorant?

• 7:37Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, necessary.

• 7:38Declan Donnelly?

  Right, yeah, thank God.

• 7:39Ant McPartlin?

  So necessary toothpaste, deodorant, stuff like that, I'm gonna buy.

• 7:43Declan Donnelly?

  Right.

• 7:43Ant McPartlin?

  But I'm on a financial detox at the minute. I'm not gonna buy anything. I'm gonna make do for a month and see how I get on. And then I might find I love it and then I'm just gonna, I might extend it. Let's see. And then at the end of the month, I'll get my mum's chip, which you'll present me with.

• 8:00Speaker 08

  Butter? Oh, butter is 17 minutes away.

• 8:04Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, the butter is 17 minutes away. What the, all right, Bono, you've flown the butter in, you've Ubered the butter in.

• 8:11Declan Donnelly?

  This is very special butter. You can only have butter from Newcastle. It's set off at six o'clock this morning and it's almost here.

• 8:18Ant McPartlin?

  Do you remember that story, that Bono flew his hat that he performs in across the world because he wanted to perform in it? And put the hat on the seat, like must have put the seatbelt on it, of course.

• 8:29Declan Donnelly?

  Got to, otherwise.

• 8:30Ant McPartlin?

  And then flew it. I presume it was like from London to New York, was it? Or was it further? Let's say Australia. And the hat flew all the way to Australia. Is that a bit like you and this butter?

• 8:40Declan Donnelly?

  It is a bit, yeah.

• 8:41Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 8:42Declan Donnelly?

  It's coming all the way. It's special.

• 8:43Ant McPartlin?

  What kind of butter did you go for?

• 8:44Declan Donnelly?

  Geordie butter.

• 8:46Ant McPartlin?

  Is there such a thing?

• 8:47Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 8:47Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 8:48Declan Donnelly?

  No. Grass fed though.

• 8:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, right.

• 8:51Declan Donnelly?

  Butter from grass fed cows.

• 8:53Ant McPartlin?

  Are all cows grass fed?

• 8:54Declan Donnelly?

  No. Some of them eat mixture.

• 8:57Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, I see, right.

• 8:59Declan Donnelly?

  You know, the mixture.

• 9:00Ant McPartlin?

  Is that, is that you pouring the mixture out of a bag?

• 9:02Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, that was me pouring the mixture out. I've never fed a cow.

• 9:05Speaker 08

  I'd love to see you feed a cow.

• 9:07Declan Donnelly?

  Just go out. I'll be like that. Here you go. Come on, my lovelies. Come and get it.

• 9:13Ant McPartlin?

  I'll just have a little end while we're here.

• 9:16Declan Donnelly?

  Do you want to have a little bit of dry bit now?

• 9:18Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I'll have a little toast if you want. Right?

• 9:20Declan Donnelly?

  Hey. Split that amongst you.

• 9:24Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, Fiona's hungry.

• 9:25Ant McPartlin?

  Wow.

• 9:26Speaker 09

  Wow, she's keen.

• 9:27Ant McPartlin?

  It's like being at a Tom Jones concert and he just, people are throwing their knickers at him.

• 9:32Speaker 10

  I got it, I got it, I got Tex bread, I got Tex bread.

• 9:36Ant McPartlin?

  It's like being back at a PGA Dunk concert in the mid 90s. That's a nice little, uh...

• 9:40Declan Donnelly?

  Like it?

• 9:40Ant McPartlin?

  I do like that.

• 9:41Declan Donnelly?

  A little chopping board?

• 9:41Ant McPartlin?

  It's a chopping board in the shape of a slice of bread. I like it. What's on there? What the hell?

• 9:48Declan Donnelly?

  It's my chopping board from home.

• 9:50Ant McPartlin?

  Daddy's Eggs and Marmite Soldiers. Is this yours?

• 9:54Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 9:55Ant McPartlin?

  Daddy's. Daddy's Eggs and Marmite. Hold on, there's a lot to unpack in this chopping board. So, it's in the shape of a slice of bread. There's two holes to put your boiled eggs in, I presume, and we know you love eggs. So, there's the eggs. Marmite Soldier. You like Marmite?

• 10:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 10:12Ant McPartlin?

  I never knew you liked Marmite.

• 10:13Declan Donnelly?

  I love Marmite. Marmite Soldiers with your boiled eggs?

• 10:17Ant McPartlin?

  You don't have Marmite when I'm with you. Is this something you're just doing in the privacy of your own home?

• 10:21Declan Donnelly?

  I like to do it in secret. No, yeah, I love Marmite.

• 10:24Ant McPartlin?

  Since when?

• 10:27Ant McPartlin?

  What? Since when?

• 10:29Declan Donnelly?

  Is this for show?

• 10:30Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 10:30Declan Donnelly?

  Is it? I love Marmite Soldiers.

• 10:32Ant McPartlin?

  Why are you smirking like, "Oh, look at that, I love Marmite. I'm part of the cool gang"?

• 10:38Ant McPartlin?

  Come on, discuss. What? Now this is a bit of a deep dive in our friendship, I think.

• 10:43Declan Donnelly?

  Can I tell you when I really got into Marmite Soldiers?

• 10:45Ant McPartlin?

  Well, that's what I'm asking, actually.

• 10:48Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, it was a few years ago.

• 10:50Ant McPartlin?

  Right, okay.

• 10:51Declan Donnelly?

  We went to Brighton.

• 10:53Ant McPartlin?

  Who's we?

• 10:53Declan Donnelly?

  Me and you.

• 10:55Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 10:56Declan Donnelly?

  For Alan Carr's birthday party.

• 10:58Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 10:59Declan Donnelly?

  We stayed at a hotel in Brighton and next morning, they served up, um, boiled eggs with Marmite Soldiers.

• 11:06Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 11:06Declan Donnelly?

  And I was like, "I'm not sure about that."

• 11:07Ant McPartlin?

  Why did they put Marmite on your Soldiers?

• 11:10Declan Donnelly?

  That was on the menu, I was like, "Oh." Bloody loved it, didn't I? Only bloody loved it. Dip it in your egg. I'm in heaven.

• 11:18Ant McPartlin?

  And since then?

• 11:19Declan Donnelly?

  Since then?

• 11:20Ant McPartlin?

  Well, clearly you love them so much, you've had a chopping board with it engraved in.

• 11:23Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 11:24Ant McPartlin?

  Daddy's. Daddy's. Hands off, they're not, that's not I'll as, that's not Jack's, that's not even Ally's. That's Daddy's. Eggs and Marmite soldiers.

• 11:32Declan Donnelly?

  But no, that was a Father's Day present.

• 11:34Ant McPartlin?

  That's nice. That's nice. I'm glad. They've made that boy. That's, that's very good.

• 11:37Declan Donnelly?

  I don't think they made it. I think they bought it off Nut on the High Street.

• 11:41Ant McPartlin?

  Do you eat veg- you don't eat veggie out in Australia, though?

• 11:43Declan Donnelly?

  No, I don't like it as much.

• 11:45Ant McPartlin?

  Because it tastes of vegetables?

• 11:47Declan Donnelly?

  You're right there, you're filling it up on the crumbs, aren't you?

• 11:48Ant McPartlin?

  I'm starving. I just realised. I didn't have any breakfast. I'm starving.

• 11:52Declan Donnelly?

  I'm going to study him. I'm going to eat the crumbs for him.

• 11:54Ant McPartlin?

  Well, where's the bunette still in a taxi?

• 11:56Declan Donnelly?

  How far is it now?

• 11:57Speaker 10

  We're like 10 minutes away.

• 11:58Declan Donnelly?

  10 minutes away.

• 11:59Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, gee.

• 12:01Declan Donnelly?

  You be watching anything good on the telly?

• 12:03Ant McPartlin?

  I have. I've been watching Something Which Is It Bananas on the banana scale.

• 12:06Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh, what is that?

• 12:07Ant McPartlin?

  And the Celebrity South Africa!

• 12:09Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I love that. Those two guys that hosted that.

• 12:12Ant McPartlin?

  No, seriously, though, I know we're all there and I know it's one of our shows, but how good has it been? My favourite clip, though, unquote, is about an air fryer. That it sucks all of the oxygen. Sucks all the air out of the room. I can't breathe, Darren.

• 12:27Declan Donnelly?

  As an air fryer aficionado, that outraged me. Don't give air fryers such a bad name. They don't suck the air out of the room.

• 12:35Ant McPartlin?

  Talking of air fryers, by the way, before we move on, the final is on Friday, ITV. Will you be there?

• 12:42Declan Donnelly?

  I will be there. It's live on the telly.

• 12:45Ant McPartlin?

  And then we've got the first BGT live shows on Saturday.

• 12:47Declan Donnelly?

  On Saturday, yeah. We've got busy all weekend.

• 12:49Ant McPartlin?

  Very busy.

• 12:50Declan Donnelly?

• 12:58Ant McPartlin?

  Talking of air fryers.

• 12:59Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 13:00Ant McPartlin?

  On last week's pod, I did talk about your air fryer, your, your second air fryer. And I threw it open to everybody to see if they would swap it.

• 13:09Declan Donnelly?

  Have you had any responses?

• 13:11Ant McPartlin?

  We have had hundreds of responses. We've had hundreds of possible items that you could swap your air fryer for.

• 13:20Declan Donnelly?

  Are they any good?

• 13:21Ant McPartlin?

  I'll let you be the judge of that. I think some of them are excellent.

• 13:25Declan Donnelly?

  Really?

• 13:26Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I genuinely do. So this item, what we're calling is, I think we all decided on Famous Guy Swaps Things.

• 13:31Declan Donnelly?

  That's all.

• 13:32Ant McPartlin?

  They think that rolls off the tongue. And does it have a jingle?

• 13:34Speaker 10

  Yeah.

• 13:35Ant McPartlin?

  Somebody puts the music, it's a Famous Guy Swaps Things! We'll have a jingle for next week. Right, somebody make a jingle for that, please. And auto tune it as well while you're at it, will you?

• 13:47Ant McPartlin?

  So that's the, this is the idea. We're not gonna go through hundreds today, are we? No, no, I've selected. I've whittled down a few, which I'll go through now. Okay. And so you'll have an option at the end of this list. Right. To go with something that we talked about today, or roll over till next week. This is amazing. Absolutely. Okay, did you bring in the air fryer? It's here. Can I see it? Can the viewers see what's on offer? If you're just listening, I'm about to hold up an air fryer.

• 14:14Ant McPartlin?

  If you can lift it. Do you need my help? Oh, you can lift it, you can lift it. Put it in the middle of the desk there, and inside the drawer, Fiona told me that she's put a little surprise in there.

• 14:25Declan Donnelly?

  A toasted stotick.

• 14:27Ant McPartlin?

  Is it the butter? Is the butter inside there?

• 14:29Declan Donnelly?

  No, it's a, it's a tonic.

• 14:30Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, good, okay. Can you sign that, please? And I'll, I'll sign it as well. Do I do it facing the back or facing the front? Well, if you're looking at the air fryer, you wanna kinda look, so maybe you have to come round the other way.

• 14:42Ant McPartlin?

  Well, you could, well, you suppose you could do. It's just easy, isn't it? It's the business end? Business end? It's disgusting, isn't it? Business end, business end. The business end? Who says that? Is that what you say about your body? Here's my business end? I'm turning my business end towards you now? What the hell?

• 15:04Ant McPartlin?

  Do you often smile like that during the signature? I do. I really love giving up. Come on.

• 15:09Ant McPartlin?

  That's it here, mate. We don't do a love or anything, do we? We just sign it. Oh, splurge. Don't let it splurge. Shall I go, shall I say happy frying? If you like to put happy frying. Happy air frying. Love. Can you put the love from both of us and put an and in between the and and deck? Right, there's the air fryer. Turn it back round so we, so we're not seeing the business end.

• 15:31Ant McPartlin?

  Take a photo for social media, will you, Fiona?

• 15:38Declan Donnelly?

  Let me move this out of the way.

• 15:39Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, pop it in the corner there. That's the air fryer, so you've seen it now, you've witnessed us sign it. You've seen the business end, you've seen the front end. Just down there, that'll do. Watch your back, don't put your back out.

• 15:52Declan Donnelly?

  There must be some legal things, are there tees and sees to this?

• 15:55Ant McPartlin?

  I wonder, is it?

• 15:56Declan Donnelly?

  Are there tees and sees? They're all with tees and sees.

• 15:58Ant McPartlin?

  What, for swapping things?

• 15:59Declan Donnelly?

  Yep. Go on.

• 16:00Speaker 08

  Right, you ready? Ears open.

• 16:02Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know if I am.

• 16:03Speaker 08

  We are inviting a listener to take part in a swap with Deck. This isn't a competition or prize draw. We will simply choose one participant at our discretion for content purposes. If selected, we will contact you to discuss the swap.

• 16:14Ant McPartlin?

  Well done, well done.

• 16:17Declan Donnelly?

  You made that actually sound more entertaining than it was.

• 16:19Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you did.

• 16:19Declan Donnelly?

  You did well there.

• 16:20Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, can I have my clipboard, please? Jemima.

• 16:24Speaker 08

  It's behind you.

• 16:25Ant McPartlin?

  It's behind me. Right.

• 16:27Declan Donnelly?

  I'm excited, genuinely.

• 16:29Ant McPartlin?

  Here are a few of the swaps that we were offered this week. Swap one. Hi, Ant and Dec. This is from Catherine in Whitleby.

• 16:40Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, Catherine.

• 16:41Ant McPartlin?

  Harriet Ant and Dec.

• 16:42Declan Donnelly?

  Harriet.

• 16:43Ant McPartlin?

  I hear you need a travel hairdryer because you don't have one. I need an air fryer. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. Well, maybe not, but let's, let's exchange.

• 16:54Declan Donnelly?

  An air fryer for a hairdryer?

• 16:55Ant McPartlin?

  It seems like a fair swap to me.

• 16:57Declan Donnelly?

  Well.

• 16:57Ant McPartlin?

  Travel hairdryer, which is what you're lacking in your diary.

• 17:00Declan Donnelly?

  It is, however, that was 30 years ago.

• 17:04Ant McPartlin?

  Right, most hotels have one?

• 17:06Declan Donnelly?

  Most hotels have one.

• 17:07Ant McPartlin?

  And you don't have a butt cut?

• 17:10Declan Donnelly?

  And I don't have a butt cut anymore.

• 17:11Ant McPartlin?

  Do you dry your hair?

• 17:13Declan Donnelly?

  I do, yes.

• 17:13Ant McPartlin?

  With a hairdryer?

• 17:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yes. But everywhere's got one now.

• 17:17Ant McPartlin?

  So is that a no to Catherine?

• 17:19Declan Donnelly?

  It's not looking likely. I'm hoping it's going to improve from here.

• 17:22Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, next swap. Hi, Ant and Dec. I am willing to swap my husband's PS5.

• 17:29Ant McPartlin?

  For Dex Airfryer.

• 17:30Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 17:31Ant McPartlin?

  May my eight-month-old daughter Poppy. Ah, you've got a puppy too. I got a puppy. Watch all of the podcasts weekly. We love you both. And we saw that you want to play Swap Season. I'm happily willing to swap my husband's PS5 with two remotes and a wireless mini Playstation charger for the remotes for Dex Airfryer.

• 17:51Declan Donnelly?

  That's good.

• 17:52Ant McPartlin?

  The reason being, he gets too distracted on it for the baby bum changes and nap times. So I think this is a great way to help that. And I'm also pregnant with baby number two. Due in December, so an airfryer would definitely help with those dinner preps. Respect, guys. Love Jade and Poppy.

• 18:08Declan Donnelly?

  Do you think he's in on this?

• 18:10Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 18:11Declan Donnelly?

  This is gonna be done behind his back?

• 18:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 18:12Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, I think that that might be problematic.

• 18:15Ant McPartlin?

  Is that a part of the Ts and Cs? Are we allowed, are the people allowed to swap other people's things? We probably have to discount that.

• 18:20Declan Donnelly?

  I'm thinking that would cause a family squabble.

• 18:22Ant McPartlin?

  But he does have to get off the Playstation and help his wife with the.

• 18:26Declan Donnelly?

  Changing the bum.

• 18:26Ant McPartlin?

  With changing the bum. Come on. So that's enough?

• 18:29Declan Donnelly?

  I was tempted.

• 18:31Ant McPartlin?

  It's a good swap though, isn't it?

• 18:32Declan Donnelly?

  Really tempted there. Poppy, that was a great swap.

• 18:36Ant McPartlin?

  Next swap is a voice note. Have a listen to this.

• 18:40Speaker 11

  Hi, Anton Dirk. This is Lucy. Hi.

• 18:44Ant McPartlin?

  Hi.

• 18:44Speaker 11

  Um. I am contacting you in regards to Dex Airfryer.

• 18:50Declan Donnelly?

  I hope this finds you well.

• 18:50Speaker 11

  I would use it a lot in uni, because I'm going uni in September. And what to swap it with?

• 18:58Speaker 11

  I have an electric drum kit, um, so I don't know if Isla or Jack would be interested in that. But it is an electric drum kit, so it has headphones, so it doesn't make as much noise as an actual drum kit would. Don't worry.

• 19:14Speaker 11

  Okay, bye. Love you lots. Lots of love.

• 19:17Ant McPartlin?

  Love you lots too. Thank you very much, Lucy.

• 19:19Declan Donnelly?

  Lucy. I genuinely love that.

• 19:21Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, could this be a swap?

• 19:24Declan Donnelly?

  This could be a swap.

• 19:25Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, put it on the shortlist, guys.

• 19:26Declan Donnelly?

  And this is not for Ayla or Jack, this is for me.

• 19:30Ant McPartlin?

  Get it for me, I'd love that.

• 19:31Declan Donnelly?

  I would love an electric.

• 19:32Ant McPartlin?

  We could do that here.

• 19:33Declan Donnelly?

  Ah.

• 19:34Speaker 09

  We could make Jingles live.

• 19:36Ant McPartlin?

  And do you know what? I shouldn't really try and sell it on Herbie Hall or anything, but my daughter's at uni and my other one's gonna go to uni. And air fryers are all the rage. She could do with that. So think of her. She could really do with that.

• 19:49Declan Donnelly?

  She's top of the list so far.

• 19:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, Lucy, you're top of the list. Shall I carry on? Yes. Okay, next swap. Hi, Ant. I have a swap that I feel fits perfectly. I can crochet a large silly goose just for you.

• 20:02Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, Ashley.

• 20:04Ant McPartlin?

  We've got a picture of the silly goose.

• 20:06Declan Donnelly?

  There's a picture there.

• 20:07Ant McPartlin?

  And the hat and bow tie colour is negotiable, so you get to choose what colour you want. And the hat, it gets better. It's also removable.

• 20:18Ant McPartlin?

  And.

• 20:18Declan Donnelly?

  Sticking you to the woolly warmer.

• 20:21Ant McPartlin?

  A woolly nilly warmer.

• 20:25Ant McPartlin?

  And under the hat, it's very curly hair. You can't see, we haven't got a picture of the goose without the hat on.

• 20:31Declan Donnelly?

  That might have tipped it for me, but if I can't see the hair, I don't, I'm not sure. It's a lovely thought and a lovely idea. It got better. It started with crochet and I wasn't very impressed. But that is a very cute silly goose.

• 20:43Ant McPartlin?

  Why did it get better? Because you could negotiate the colour of the hat and the bow tie.

• 20:47Declan Donnelly?

  Well.

• 20:47Ant McPartlin?

  What would you have, black and white stripes? Megan, we'll go back to Megan. Can you do stripes? Okay.

• 20:55Ant McPartlin?

  I'm on it. I love this.

• 20:56Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I'm not sure it's gonna be the electric drum kit, but can you do stripes? Just, just so we know.

• 21:00Ant McPartlin?

  Next swap. I don't wanna sway, but just listen to this, right?

• 21:04Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 21:06Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, Ant. I'm offering to swap my silver tap shoes.

• 21:11Ant McPartlin?

  Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing? Stop laughing. I've just looked at the picture on the screen. Because I think they would fit Deck. Am I right, Ant? They are a woman's size eight. A man's size eight? So how does that work? She gives a good reason why she wants to swap these with you because- She needs one. She needs a really good one. She thinks it will help you expand your hobbies. Because in last week's episode, you said you only play golf and you couldn't think of any other hobbies. She thought it would be a very useful, thoughtful swap. And it's not just another excuse for a cheap laugh at Deck's size. It's not that. It's not that. If you pick them for the swap, I'll even throw in my banana slicer. Just be, what? A banana slicer? What's a banana slicer?

• 21:52Ant McPartlin?

  If I can find it, must be at the back of the kitchen cupboard somewhere. Love you both. Caroline. What's a banana? Isn't a banana slicer just a knife? It's a knife. Caroline, could you send in the shoes, just so Deck can try them on? Do you want to try them before you buy? Don't bother. Don't bother. You're not gonna go for them? I don't think so. They're not beating the electric drum kit right now. No. No, that's a no? That's- That's a no? Yeah, that is. Okay, sorry. Quite a blurry photo of them as well. Alright, someone who tickle was in a rush. What's your problem? You might have an old camera. Call the phone, new cameras. I mean, yeah, you know. Jesus. Judge Mello, what? The next one is on your screen. Oh. Need I say more? That is from Amanda French. Need I say more? For those of you just listening. It's-

• 22:39Ant McPartlin?

  For those of you just lis- It is a boat.

• 22:44Ant McPartlin?

  A ship? It's a ship. It's like a pirate ship. It's a model pirate ship. What's your Amanda French? Amanda French. The French Amanda. It looks like the Spanish Armada.

• 22:54Ant McPartlin?

  Can we zoom in? Can you just zoom in? Because it says to me on the bottom. Oh, it's a model of HMS Victory. Seventeen fifty-eight. Fifty-eight. Seventeen fifty-eight. That's two minutes to six to you. Don't laugh at that, don't laugh at that, don't laugh at that, don't laugh, he does that every time we go away. Don't laugh at that. Whenever there's 24 hour clock involved, he does that gag. Don't laugh at that.

• 23:14Declan Donnelly?

  Not that interested in the ship, but I quite like the look of that guitar.

• 23:18Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, no ship. How much for the guitar?

• 23:22Declan Donnelly?

  Is guitar available?

• 23:23Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, no ship, is guitar available. Next swap. I was working at the Open Golf Tournament and I can offer two of the official money can't buy quiet please signs that they hold up at the golf tournament. I know you guys like your golf, so I thought Deck might be interested in swapping the air fryer for one of these, just one.

• 23:45Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, how weird.

• 23:47Ant McPartlin?

  Also, very useful for when Deck decides to talk over you. Yes, Andy, that's very true. That would come in very handy, but I need two, one for him and one for me. Respect, guys. Andy, there's the photo. So if you don't know what these are, if you're just listening or watching, whenever you see golf and the professional golfers on the first tee and you're just about to hit the ball, the stewards hold up these kind of, what would you call them? Like a placard, like a thin placard which says, quiet please.

• 24:13Declan Donnelly?

  It's like an upside down cricket bat.

• 24:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it looks, yeah, it looks like a cricket bat. And the crowd go quiet and they can hit their shot in peace. Now that, that is a really good bit of memorabilia. Money can't buys, Andy says.

• 24:25Declan Donnelly?

  I absolutely love that. I would love one of those.

• 24:30Ant McPartlin?

  Would you?

• 24:30Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 24:31Ant McPartlin?

  So you would swap?

• 24:34Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I think I would.

• 24:36Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, okay, okay, okay.

• 24:37Declan Donnelly?

  I would swap for one of those.

• 24:39Ant McPartlin?

  Can I just read you the last item?

• 24:41Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 24:41Ant McPartlin?

  Before you make any snap judgments?

• 24:44Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 24:44Ant McPartlin?

  Because I think you'll find this appealing. Hello, Ant and Dec. My super rare item that I would swap for the air fryer is this one of a kind necklace from the Titanic movie, the heart of the ocean necklace. You can buy them on Amazon. Put that in brackets. Why do I have this necklace?

• 25:05Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, that was my next question.

• 25:07Ant McPartlin?

  Well, apart from the fact you can buy them on Amazon. Am I a Titanic super fan? No, I am not. For some reason, when I was a young girl, my mum's friend gave me this necklace as a gift to cheer me up when I was feeling a little upset over my dad being away at sea, serving in the Royal Navy. Because what I wanted as a sad child, missing my father at sea, was a necklace from a movie about the ship that sunk. Anyways, it's all yours if you wanted. Bye for now, for now, because she knows you'll be in touch. Emily?

• 25:37Declan Donnelly?

  Ironically, it doesn't flop me both.

• 25:41Ant McPartlin?

  Doesn't it?

• 25:41Declan Donnelly?

  No, I've never seen the movie.

• 25:43Ant McPartlin?

  You've never seen Titanic?

• 25:44Declan Donnelly?

  Nah.

• 25:46Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 25:47Declan Donnelly?

  I've never seen it.

• 25:48Ant McPartlin?

  What do you do?

• 25:49Declan Donnelly?

  What do you mean?

• 25:50Ant McPartlin?

  In your life, what do you do? How do you fill your time? Like, what do you do?

• 25:55Declan Donnelly?

  Loads of stuff.

• 25:56Ant McPartlin?

  No, but forget now, when you've got kids and all that. What do you do? Because if you're not watching movies, and if you're not, clearly not doing hobbies, because all you do is golf. What do you do?

• 26:07Declan Donnelly?

  I couldn't see the point in the movie Titanic.

• 26:09Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 26:09Declan Donnelly?

  Because I don't know what sinks.

• 26:11Ant McPartlin?

  But it's about the love story between Jack and Rose. You don't care about that?

• 26:15Declan Donnelly?

  Nah.

• 26:16Ant McPartlin?

  So far, we've got the electric drum kit. And we've the tap shoes.

• 26:20Declan Donnelly?

  No! Why are we?

• 26:22Ant McPartlin?

  Are we getting them sent into chat? No, okay.

• 26:25Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 26:25Ant McPartlin?

  The electric drum kit, the silly goose.

• 26:27Declan Donnelly?

  Silly goose, knitted, crochet.

• 26:29Ant McPartlin?

  Black and white striped hat and vortile.

• 26:30Declan Donnelly?

  If you do black and white.

• 26:32Ant McPartlin?

  And, and the open memorabilia, quiet please sign.

• 26:36Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 26:36Ant McPartlin?

  So you've got to pick one of those.

• 26:37Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 26:38Ant McPartlin?

  Or, or you can roll it over to next week. If you roll it over to next week.

• 26:43Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 26:43Ant McPartlin?

  You can't go back.

• 26:45Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, no!

• 26:46Ant McPartlin?

  To one of these, that's the rules.

• 26:48Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, no.

• 26:49Ant McPartlin?

  Do you think you'll get something better? Or do you think? Because otherwise, you could just be rolling over and rolling over and rolling over. We've got, we've got to put, this item's gone on long enough as it is.

• 27:01Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe it's like an acrobat? I've got one in me head.

• 27:03Ant McPartlin?

  Yep.

• 27:05Declan Donnelly?

  That I'm gonna go for.

• 27:06Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 27:08Declan Donnelly?

  Or roll it over. So I can't wait for the silly goose notification as to whether she can do a striped hat or not. So the silly goose has fallen out.

• 27:16Ant McPartlin?

  Right, the silly goose has fallen out, so it's down to the electric drum machine or the quiet please sign from the old man.

• 27:22Declan Donnelly?

  Right, let me make a decision.

• 27:23Ant McPartlin?

  Join us after this break!

• 27:28Declan Donnelly?

  This is an advert for Santander who understand that getting started on a goal isn't easy and embracing messy beginnings is how progress happens.

• 27:36Ant McPartlin?

  You know what I've been thinking about recently? I haven't done any of my new year's resolutions.

• 27:41Declan Donnelly?

  You haven't done any of them yet?

• 27:42Ant McPartlin?

  No, no, haven't drank less coffee, haven't swore less.

• 27:46Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, come on.

• 27:47Ant McPartlin?

  But that's it now, I'll wait till next year, won't I?

• 27:49Declan Donnelly?

  Well, no, you don't have to.

• 27:50Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 27:50Declan Donnelly?

  You could start, why don't you go like first of May, you could start.

• 27:53Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, too many bank holidays.

• 27:54Declan Donnelly?

  In May?

• 27:55Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 27:56Declan Donnelly?

  Right.

• 27:56Ant McPartlin?

  Treats, it's food time, isn't it?

• 27:57Declan Donnelly?

  Right, okay.

• 27:58Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it's true.

• 27:59Declan Donnelly?

  First of June?

• 28:01Ant McPartlin?

  Summer, isn't it? Really, technically it's summer.

• 28:03Declan Donnelly?

  You'd rather take the whole summer off?

• 28:04Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I think I would, actually.

• 28:06Declan Donnelly?

  All right, well, let's get rid of the summer then.

• 28:07Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, right.

• 28:08Declan Donnelly?

  First of September.

• 28:08Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, back to school then, isn't it? So that's where you've got to concentrate on that.

• 28:11Declan Donnelly?

  Right, and then October, I guess, is.

• 28:14Ant McPartlin?

  Well, it's nearly Christmas, basically, isn't it? Well, next year, yeah, yeah.

• 28:18Declan Donnelly?

  So wait, wait until next January?

• 28:19Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 28:20Declan Donnelly?

  Well, that's just, that's a waste of a year, isn't it? That's when you wanted to do something.

• 28:24Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 28:24Declan Donnelly?

  You don't have to wait for that beginning of the year.

• 28:26Ant McPartlin?

  On the perfect moment.

• 28:27Declan Donnelly?

  Remember last year, you said you wanted to start going to bed earlier?

• 28:30Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 28:30Declan Donnelly?

  You still achieved that, no matter how busy we were.

• 28:32Ant McPartlin?

  I did.

• 28:33Declan Donnelly?

  So if you're going to start next January, you may as well have started this January.

• 28:36Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, but I couldn't start this January.

• 28:38Declan Donnelly?

  Why?

• 28:38Ant McPartlin?

  I was busy launching a podcast with you, so couldn't do that.

• 28:41Declan Donnelly?

  So that's why you couldn't.

• 28:43Ant McPartlin?

  There's a lot of coffee and a lot of swearing.

• 28:46Declan Donnelly?

  But that's the problem, you see, you will just keep putting things off. You've just got to sometimes just embrace the chaos, go, all right, it's the 24th of this month, I'm just going to start now.

• 28:56Ant McPartlin?

  It's random, isn't it?

• 28:57Declan Donnelly?

  Well, whatever, just embrace.

• 28:58Ant McPartlin?

  Just do it.

• 28:59Declan Donnelly?

  Embrace the chaos.

• 28:59Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 29:00Declan Donnelly?

  Just do it.

• 29:00Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 29:01Declan Donnelly?

  Every day is a new day.

• 29:02Ant McPartlin?

  All right, all right, I'm doing it tomorrow, today, now, I'm doing it now.

• 29:07Declan Donnelly?

  Beginnings are never perfect, that's why the perfect time to start is now.

• 29:12Ant McPartlin?

  Santander, it starts here.

• 29:16Ant McPartlin?

  Welcome back to Famous Guy Swaps Things here on the Hanging Out Pod with Ant and Dec. We join us at a very, very tense moment here. Dec has whittled down the potential swaps to two.

• 29:29Ant McPartlin?

  One is an electric drum machine, which was offered by Lucy, who's gone to university, and the air fryer would come in very handy for Lucy. The other was a quiet police sign from the open, which was offered by Andy. Or Dec has the option of rolling over to next week, where he loses these potential swaps. Dec, what are you going to go for?

• 29:46Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, I am going to swap today.

• 29:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, audible gas in the studio.

• 29:52Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not going to roll it over, I'm going to swap.

• 29:55Ant McPartlin?

  Bum bum. Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.

• 29:58Declan Donnelly?

  As you know, the only hobby I have is golf.

• 30:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 30:02Declan Donnelly?

  However.

• 30:05Declan Donnelly?

  I really, really, really would like an electric drum machine.

• 30:09Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 30:10Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, so I'm gonna swap with Lucy, who's going to university in September. That's just tipped it over the edge for me because I think she'll find this very handy.

• 30:18Ant McPartlin?

  She will, trust me.

• 30:19Declan Donnelly?

  So I would like to swap with Lucy, I would like the electric drum machine and she can have my air fryer.

• 30:24Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 30:27Declan Donnelly?

  I think that's a good swap.

• 30:28Ant McPartlin?

  Send us photos when you get to uni of you and your roommates using it. We'd love to see some pics. Keep it clean.

• 30:35Declan Donnelly?

  All above board.

• 30:36Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, not the pics. I mean, the pics have to be clean. I mean, I mean, the air fryer. Keep the air fryer clean.

• 30:44Declan Donnelly?

  What kind of pictures were you thinking she was gonna send?

• 30:48Ant McPartlin?

  Keep the air fryer clean. Also keep the pictures, everybody stay clean.

• 30:55Ant McPartlin?

  Stay clean. Keep the air fryer clean. Oh, Jesus Christ. This podcast could get you in a lot of trouble.

• 31:02Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my God. No day falls.

• 31:07Ant McPartlin?

  What I meant was, my daughter's at uni and their kitchen is like a bomb site. So.

• 31:14Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my God.

• 31:18Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I think we've ended this very badly from what was going spectacularly well, I thought.

• 31:22Declan Donnelly?

  Congratulations, Lucy.

• 31:23Ant McPartlin?

  Well done, Lucy. We will send you the air fryer, send us the drum machine and we can watch tech, try and navigate his way around it on next week's show. And we could play this again if you've got anything else to swap.

• 31:35Declan Donnelly?

  I'm gonna go back to the lockup and have a look what we've got.

• 31:37Ant McPartlin?

  Well, okay. So have a look and then next week we can talk about the next potential swap.

• 31:41Declan Donnelly?

  Can I just say?

• 31:42Ant McPartlin?

  Uh huh.

• 31:43Declan Donnelly?

  I do have two slow cookers.

• 31:45Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, do you? Why?

• 31:47Declan Donnelly?

  I'll tell you why. Cause she found a book. In the office, which was a slow cooker recipe book.

• 31:52Ant McPartlin?

  Uh huh.

• 31:52Declan Donnelly?

  She brought it home, she goes, oh, I found this, but it's got loads of good recipes in it. Um, it's look at this book, it's amazing, I'm gonna, so she came back, bought a slow cooker.

• 31:59Ant McPartlin?

  Uh huh.

• 32:00Declan Donnelly?

  I was like, hmm, I've already got one of those. Um, and opened the cupboard with all me cookbooks in, we've already got the book as well. So I've got two slow cooker books and two slow cookers, so you can have the, you can have the cookbook as well.

• 32:11Ant McPartlin?

  Sounds like you two need to go on a financial detox as well. Okay, uh, slow cooker?

• 32:16Declan Donnelly?

  Slow cooker and a slow cooker recipe book.

• 32:18Ant McPartlin?

  Slow cooker and a slow cooker recipe book, what would you swap for that?

• 32:21Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, we do that again.

• 32:23Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, let's do it again.

• 32:24Declan Donnelly?

  Right, let's do it again.

• 32:24Ant McPartlin?

  What would you swap for that? Uh, we'll put a picture of the slow cooker on our socials and you can have a good gander at it there. Declan will bring it in next week and, uh, we'll get a list of what we could swap.

• 32:33Declan Donnelly?

  Andy, Andy, quietly, I'd swap that as well.

• 32:38Ant McPartlin?

  Well, yeah, Andy can always offer it again.

• 32:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, he could, yeah, yeah.

• 32:41Ant McPartlin?

  Good.

• 32:44Ant McPartlin?

  Time for the diary?

• 32:45Declan Donnelly?

  Time for the diary, shall I get it out?

• 32:46Ant McPartlin?

  We've got a jingle.

• 32:47Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, go on.

• 32:48Ant McPartlin?

  Wanna hear it?

• 32:48Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 32:49Ant McPartlin?

  Play the jingle.

• 33:04Ant McPartlin?

  That's good.

• 33:04Declan Donnelly?

  That's good, isn't it?

• 33:05Ant McPartlin?

  That's Avril Lavigne, isn't it?

• 33:09Ant McPartlin?

  It does sound like her. Thanks, Danielle, very, very good.

• 33:11Declan Donnelly?

  Like that a lot.

• 33:13Ant McPartlin?

  That could be a single.

• 33:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 33:14Ant McPartlin?

  You should release that.

• 33:15Declan Donnelly?

  Talking of releasing songs?

• 33:16Ant McPartlin?

  Yep.

• 33:17Declan Donnelly?

  It's the 11th of April.

• 33:19Ant McPartlin?

  Release day.

• 33:19Declan Donnelly?

  1994, day 15 of life on the road, it's release day.

• 33:25Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, he's right, he's, he's put like.

• 33:27Declan Donnelly?

  Little fireworks around.

• 33:28Ant McPartlin?

  Little fireworks around release day.

• 33:29Declan Donnelly?

  Release day, release day. Travel to Bradford for the first gig of the night at Maestro's nightclub.

• 33:36Ant McPartlin?

  Remember that? I don't.

• 33:40Declan Donnelly?

  Well, the venue was good.

• 33:42Ant McPartlin?

  Was it?

• 33:42Declan Donnelly?

  Apparently so.

• 33:43Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 33:43Declan Donnelly?

  A great stage.

• 33:44Ant McPartlin?

  Uh huh.

• 33:45Declan Donnelly?

  In brackets, curtains the wax.

• 33:49Ant McPartlin?

  Classy.

• 33:50Declan Donnelly?

  Even that curtains. And the crowd weren't bad either.

• 33:53Ant McPartlin?

  Right, good.

• 33:54Declan Donnelly?

  A lot of good looking girls.

• 33:56Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, he's obsessed with girls. Mind you, how old were you, nineteen?

• 34:00Declan Donnelly?

  Nineteen.

• 34:01Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I see, that's it.

• 34:02Declan Donnelly?

  Including a couple from Paris.

• 34:05Ant McPartlin?

  Really? French fans?

• 34:07Declan Donnelly?

  French fans.

• 34:08Ant McPartlin?

  Bonjour, that was a lot of that.

• 34:11Declan Donnelly?

  I should have written that, didn't I? Oh, come on, nineteen year old deck. Why not, bonjour. Onto JJ's in Scunthorpe.

• 34:18Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that's quite a journey, isn't it?

• 34:19Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 34:20Ant McPartlin?

  Round by the Scunthorpe.

• 34:21Declan Donnelly?

  Well, listen to this. And we were late.

• 34:23Ant McPartlin?

  Well, why?

• 34:24Declan Donnelly?

  Don't know.

• 34:25Ant McPartlin?

  Did we get told to the girls from Paris?

• 34:26Declan Donnelly?

  Maybe.

• 34:27Ant McPartlin?

  Maybe we did.

• 34:28Declan Donnelly?

  Bonjour. The stage was rubbish.

• 34:32Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 34:33Declan Donnelly?

  No curtains there.

• 34:33Ant McPartlin?

  No curtains.

• 34:34Declan Donnelly?

  Obsessed with how good the stages are.

• 34:37Ant McPartlin?

  It's not the acoustics, it's not the sound, it's the stage.

• 34:42Declan Donnelly?

  Stage was bad at JJ's in Scunthorpe. But why me went down well?

• 34:46Ant McPartlin?

  Well, you'd hope so, it's a release day.

• 34:47Declan Donnelly?

  Not too bad all in all.

• 34:49Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, average. It's an average day of life on the road.

• 34:53Declan Donnelly?

  Can't really remember much about today. We drove back to Kent.

• 34:57Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 34:58Declan Donnelly?

  So we were in Bradford, Scunthorpe, Kent. Kent, listen to this. Arrived at three thirty AM, fell asleep in the car, so the time flew by. Into bed and preparing to fly to Belfast tomorrow.

• 35:11Ant McPartlin?

  Why?

• 35:12Declan Donnelly?

  So we've got to go from Kent to across town to Heathrow. So who did the logistics on this tour?

• 35:17Ant McPartlin?

  Heathrow, the hotel in Heathrow? Come on, spend some money, Tellstar Records. They never did.

• 35:24Declan Donnelly?

  But I'd also found this, our tour diary.

• 35:28Ant McPartlin?

  Where'd you find all this stuff?

• 35:29Declan Donnelly?

  In my keepsake box. So this was our. List of gigs that we were doing.

• 35:35Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, it's a tally.

• 35:37Declan Donnelly?

  Wymerley State.

• 35:38Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 35:39Declan Donnelly?

  Maestros in Bradford, Scunthorpes in JJ. So then tomorrow, on the 12th, we're off to Belfast to do a TV show. And then we're back to do Hollywoods in Romford.

• 35:48Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, legendary.

• 35:50Declan Donnelly?

  That'll be next week's show.

• 35:51Ant McPartlin?

  Hollywoods in Romford, that's a legendary gig place, that is.

• 35:54Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it is.

• 35:54Ant McPartlin?

  Then legendary venue is the word I'm looking for.

• 35:57Declan Donnelly?

  Gig place.

• 35:58Ant McPartlin?

  Gig place.

• 36:01Declan Donnelly?

  Good stage.

• 36:02Ant McPartlin?

  Well, in Romford, yeah, it has, it has.

• 36:05Declan Donnelly?

  But before we get there, I have got, I found this as well.

• 36:08Ant McPartlin?

  What is this now? It looks like an invoice.

• 36:10Declan Donnelly?

  This is.

• 36:11Ant McPartlin?

  The invoice for the curtains on the stage in Bradford.

• 36:13Declan Donnelly?

  These are the final agreed fees that we were paid to do these shows.

• 36:18Ant McPartlin?

  No way!

• 36:19Declan Donnelly?

  So have a guess how much we were paid to play Maestros in Bradford on the 11th of April 1994.

• 36:29Ant McPartlin?

  £200.

• 36:30Declan Donnelly?

  £200.

• 36:31Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, I got it right.

• 36:31Declan Donnelly?

  You're spot on.

• 36:32Ant McPartlin?

  Is that it?

• 36:33Declan Donnelly?

  That's what we got. But we did two gigs in a night. We went to Scunthorpe and picked up a cool £150.

• 36:40Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my God, we were so cheap. That doesn't even pay petrol when you're driving all the way back to Kent and Scunthorpe and Bradford. And that's got to fill us up with ginger's pasties on the way there, water, dizzy drinks, quavers.

• 36:53Declan Donnelly?

  Whispers. Spirals in Yeats was £200. Tokyo Jaws in Preston, we had their eyes out.

• 36:58Ant McPartlin?

  Go on.

• 36:59Declan Donnelly?

  £225.

• 37:00Ant McPartlin?

  Wow, upped it and they paid it, mugs.

• 37:03Declan Donnelly?

  Golds and Speak, we got £225.

• 37:06Ant McPartlin?

  Uh huh.

• 37:07Declan Donnelly?

  Zanadu's in Motchdale, £150.

• 37:08Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah.

• 37:09Declan Donnelly?

  Mr G's in Blackburn, £150.

• 37:11Ant McPartlin?

  But then, of course, we have to split that.

• 37:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, so £125 each.

• 37:15Ant McPartlin?

  And then we have to give money to the management.

• 37:17Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 37:18Ant McPartlin?

  And then you've got to give money away to the tax man.

• 37:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 37:20Ant McPartlin?

  And petrol costs and food costs.

• 37:23Declan Donnelly?

  We came out of it out of pocket, really.

• 37:25Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we did.

• 37:27Ant McPartlin?

  We did. Once you bought hair gel for butt cuts.

• 37:30Declan Donnelly?

  No wonder I couldn't afford a hairdryer. So in total, that whole, from we went on tour on the 28th of March through to the 22nd of April, the whole tour, we made £4,400.

• 37:43Ant McPartlin?

  Between us?

• 37:44Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 37:45Ant McPartlin?

  So £2,200 each. My God, we did a lot of work for a nout, didn't we though?

• 37:50Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 37:51Ant McPartlin?

  But that's what you've just got to do. You've just got to get out there and promote the single.

• 37:54Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 37:55Ant McPartlin?

  In the hope that it climbs the charts. Will it climb the charts?

• 37:57Declan Donnelly?

  Well.

• 37:58Ant McPartlin?

  When will we know?

• 37:58Declan Donnelly?

  We'll know that in a couple of weeks' time because on day 18, we get our first midweek chart position.

• 38:05Ant McPartlin?

  Can't wait.

• 38:05Declan Donnelly?

  That'll be in a couple of weeks' time.

• 38:07Ant McPartlin?

  Good. Look forward to it. That was very good. Keep the memorabilia coming in.

• 38:11Speaker 08

  We've also had a voice note sent in regarding your diary. We should have heard it.

• 38:15Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 38:15Speaker 07

  Declan Donnelly, Zoe Ball here from 1994.

• 38:18Declan Donnelly?

  Hello.

• 38:19Speaker 07

  Well, if only I had known. I always had a crush on you. If you'd said something, we could have gone for a taser. Sending you both loads of loads of love.

• 38:28Declan Donnelly?

  Hello.

• 38:30Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 38:32Declan Donnelly?

  She could have been with Duncan from PG and Duncan, not Fatboy Slim. He never made it in the music business.

• 38:37Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my gosh, you always had a crush on you.

• 38:39Declan Donnelly?

  How cool is that?

• 38:39Ant McPartlin?

  That's amazing. That's really cool. Hello, Zoe Ball. Oh, I can't do that about your lass. Can I? I can't say hello about his lass. I'm just going to let him do it now. I love Zoe Ball. She's very, very nice. Thank you, Zoe Ball.

• 38:55Speaker 00

  Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon fall drop because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces. So I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.

• 39:55Ant McPartlin?

  I played a lot of golf while I was away.

• 39:56Declan Donnelly?

  I bet you did.

• 39:57Ant McPartlin?

  Too much golf.

• 39:57Declan Donnelly?

  Did you?

• 39:58Ant McPartlin?

  That put me back out.

• 39:58Declan Donnelly?

  No way.

• 39:59Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, God, yeah. My pelvis is like twisted. So I got this bloke round who cripped my neck.

• 40:07Declan Donnelly?

  What's that?

• 40:07Ant McPartlin?

  Incoming call.

• 40:07Declan Donnelly?

  That has never happened before.

• 40:09Ant McPartlin?

  What is that? Can you get that? Well, how do you answer it?

• 40:15Ant McPartlin?

  I don't think...

• 40:16Declan Donnelly?

  It's not a touchscreen.

• 40:17Ant McPartlin?

  There's no phones anywhere.

• 40:18Declan Donnelly?

  There's a phone here. Does this work?

• 40:20Speaker 08

  Um, no, that's just voice notes.

• 40:22Declan Donnelly?

  That's voice notes phone.

• 40:25Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, John Paul, works.

• 40:26Declan Donnelly?

  Hello. That's what he does. It's Willy Nilly.

• 40:30Ant McPartlin?

  Willy Nilly.

• 40:31Declan Donnelly?

  Hello, Will. How are you?

• 40:32Speaker 13

  I'm good, thanks, guys. How are you?

• 40:34Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we're all right, you know. We're good. We're good.

• 40:36Declan Donnelly?

  We haven't seen you, Will, since Anne's unsuccessful attempt at the banana eating.

• 40:41Ant McPartlin?

  It was still an attempt.

• 40:42Declan Donnelly?

  Looking back on that day, what did you make of it?

• 40:46Speaker 13

  I feel as if there could have been a bit more prep. We are talking about the world's best, right? So there needs to be probably less surprise element and more training and more focus on getting to that.

• 40:59Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I have been doing a bit of training.

• 41:00Declan Donnelly?

  Go on.

• 41:01Ant McPartlin?

  And I've got a banana here. So I've just...

• 41:05Declan Donnelly?

  That doesn't look very ripe.

• 41:06Ant McPartlin?

  It's not very ripe. But what I've realised is, and don't time this or anything, but what I've realised is we need to select the bananas better.

• 41:13Declan Donnelly?

  Stopwatch down, Will. This is not an attempt.

• 41:15Ant McPartlin?

  Stopwatch down. This is not official. So see how wobbly that is? That would have fallen. So we need to make sure that they're firm, but not overripe. And then what I've realised, I've been watching a lot of videos, is they bite.

• 41:27Ant McPartlin?

  They chew.

• 41:28Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 41:29Ant McPartlin?

  And then they do a big swallow like that. So watch. And then, hmm. How quick was that?

• 41:37Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 41:39Ant McPartlin?

  Okay. Maybe not that quick. But I'm getting better. The training, I have been training on holiday a lot. Hold on. Hold on.

• 41:50Ant McPartlin?

  That's down.

• 41:51Declan Donnelly?

  Wow.

• 41:52Ant McPartlin?

  See, you wait. So we need to put a date in, Will, for when I try and break the world record again. Well, no, that sounds like I've broken it before.

• 42:00Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, you haven't broken it yet.

• 42:01Ant McPartlin?

  When I attempt to break the world record for the second time.

• 42:04Declan Donnelly?

  Have you done better than three yet?

• 42:06Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 42:07Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 42:08Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I have.

• 42:09Declan Donnelly?

  He's building up to it. That is something to look forward to for everyone. When you were here, we did talk about any egg-based records for me. Is there anything that you've come across?

• 42:20Speaker 13

  Yeah, I mean, there's, there's lots in, in the kind of egg record-breaking world for you to look into. So, most eggs peeled and eaten in one minute? Uh, that, that's current, that's currently at six.

• 42:30Ant McPartlin?

  Well, that's the equivalent of my banana eating, so that's a good one to do.

• 42:33Declan Donnelly?

  It's the peeling, that's the faff.

• 42:35Ant McPartlin?

  Crack, roll.

• 42:37Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, you say that, but...

• 42:38Ant McPartlin?

  Can you run it under a tap?

• 42:39Speaker 13

  You can't run it under a tap.

• 42:41Ant McPartlin?

  Can a friend help?

• 42:43Speaker 13

  No, no, this is, that's an individual record. I mean, we could look into a, a team of two record for eggs peeled and eaten.

• 42:48Ant McPartlin?

  Absolutely not. Don't get me involved in any egg business. No, thank you, Will.

• 42:51Declan Donnelly?

  Any other egg ones?

• 42:52Speaker 13

  Yeah, it's slightly more messy ones. You've got most eggs crushed with the head in, uh, in, in one minute and also in 30 seconds. So 142 is the mark for one minute.

• 43:03Ant McPartlin?

  142 eggs in a minute? I was gonna give it a go, but I can't, I can't beat that. I've got a big head. I can crack a lot of eggs.

• 43:10Declan Donnelly?

  That is crazy. 142 eggs cracked on the head in a minute?

• 43:16Speaker 13

  In a minute, yeah. And the 30-second mark is, is 70. So it's, yeah, it's rapid fire.

• 43:21Declan Donnelly?

  Is there anything a bit easier?

• 43:23Speaker 13

  Again, I always say this, that no world records are easy. Um, there's, there's no low hanging fruit. But for a team of two, there is a thrown and caught in the mouth record. So that's you two standing two metres apart and then throwing eggs and, and Dec catches them in the mouth.

• 43:39Declan Donnelly?

  What is that record? This sounds good.

• 43:41Speaker 13

  That's 18 at the moment, in one minute.

• 43:43Declan Donnelly?

  18 eggs caught in the mouth in one minute. That is the one.

• 43:49Ant McPartlin?

  That is low-hanging fruit. That's a low-hanging egg.

• 43:51Declan Donnelly?

  And once I've caught it in my mouth, can I spit it out?

• 43:53Speaker 13

  You can indeed. You don't have to keep 18 eggs in your mouth.

• 43:56Ant McPartlin?

  Can he eat a cockle just because he likes them?

• 43:59Ant McPartlin?

  No. Okay. Right. Are we in?

• 44:01Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, we're in.

• 44:01Ant McPartlin?

  Should we do it?

• 44:02Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 44:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 44:02Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I'm having that one.

• 44:03Ant McPartlin?

  Right. Okay. Well, should we attempt that on the same day we do the bananas?

• 44:06Speaker 13

  Yeah, I mean, I don't want to overstretch you.

• 44:08Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. That's a good point. Okay.

• 44:13Declan Donnelly?

  Now, let's make it, let's make it David.

• 44:14Ant McPartlin?

  Let's make it David. Well, let's make it Guinness World Record Day.

• 44:17Declan Donnelly?

  I might have a barbecue as well at the end of it.

• 44:18Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. We'll have stoty bread. The butter will be here by then.

• 44:25Declan Donnelly?

  Now, we talked on last week's show here, Will, about when we started the Great North Run, we high-fived almost every single person who ran past the start line. Is there a record for the most high fives?

• 44:36Speaker 13

  There is, and we do that in timeframe. So it's one minute or an hour.

• 44:40Declan Donnelly?

  Right.

• 44:41Speaker 13

  In one minute, we're around the 292 mark at the moment.

• 44:50Speaker 13

  And then one hour is 2,515. So a bit more of a stamina attempt, that one.

• 44:54Ant McPartlin?

  Well, we definitely done that. I mean, we were there forever.

• 44:57Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 44:58Ant McPartlin?

  And we high-fived everyone. So how many runners are there at the Great North Run? 50,000?

• 45:02Declan Donnelly?

  Something like that.

• 45:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we've beaten that.

• 45:04Declan Donnelly?

  So can you stick that in the book? Is that all right? Can that go straight in the book?

• 45:08Ant McPartlin?

  Well, he said it. I said, I said it. He said it. And if you just get another witness that was there on the day, does that count?

• 45:14Speaker 13

  I mean, if you can get a hold of the video evidence of this, I can take a look for you.

• 45:18Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, that's a bit more, that's a bit more problematic.

• 45:21Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that just seems like a fashion. Don't worry about it. Stick to eggs and bananas.

• 45:28Ant McPartlin?

  We do have to talk to you about the world's biggest music quiz, which is happening very soon. Do you want to explain the world record that's happening? We'll explain the show.

• 45:36Speaker 13

  We're going to be monitoring that event on the 30th of April, I believe, which is for, we're going to be looking at the largest online quiz. So we want 15,225 entrants in the quiz for that to be a Guinness World Records title.

• 45:53Declan Donnelly?

  So that could get us in the Guinness Book of Records and also it will be raising money for Cash for Kids, which is a very important charity.

• 46:00Ant McPartlin?

  A charity which we're parents for?

• 46:01Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. So if we can do that. We'll not only raise loads of money for charity, we'll get ourselves in the Guinness Book of Records.

• 46:09Speaker 13

  Absolutely. And for us, we love attempts like this because we love people being part of record breaking. So really, you know, be part of it, get involved. I'd be very keen to absolutely see that record get smashed that day.

• 46:21Declan Donnelly?

  Amazing.

• 46:22Ant McPartlin?

  But I suppose it can only get smashed if people register their interest and join us on the day.

• 46:26Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 46:27Ant McPartlin?

  So if you are interested, get involved. It's For Cash For Kids. It's the world's biggest music quiz. We're hosting it. So be one of the members, somebody to take part and hopefully we can break a record.

• 46:38Declan Donnelly?

  We need to get more than 15,225. Let's get the record. Will, thank you. We will see you for the music quiz and also we'll see you for the next world record banana attempt and the new catching eggs in the mouth over a two metre distance in one minute.

• 46:54Speaker 13

  Nice one. Look forward to it.

• 46:55Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks, Will.

• 46:56Ant McPartlin?

  Thanks, Willie.

• 46:57Declan Donnelly?

  Take a hair.

• 46:58Ant McPartlin?

  Bye.

• 46:58Declan Donnelly?

  Bye, bye. Just hang up.

• 47:02Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, it's good to see Willie nearly right.

• 47:03Declan Donnelly?

  It's always good to see Will. So that world's biggest music quiz is taking place on the 30th of April across all Bauer stations, which is-

• 47:09Ant McPartlin?

  So that's Magic, Absolute, Hits Radio, all of those stations.

• 47:13Declan Donnelly?

  Get involved. Let's bring the record home.

• 47:16Ant McPartlin?

  To a bright end.

• 47:20Ant McPartlin?

  This next segment is an advert for Gemini, Google's personal AI assistant.

• 47:25Declan Donnelly?

  Now, Ant.

• 47:25Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 47:26Declan Donnelly?

  Do you know what this week is?

• 47:29Ant McPartlin?

  Do I know what this week is? No, I don't.

• 47:31Declan Donnelly?

  No, well.

• 47:32Ant McPartlin?

  Tell me.

• 47:32Declan Donnelly?

  This week is William Shakespeare's birthday.

• 47:35Ant McPartlin?

  Is it?

• 47:36Declan Donnelly?

  And also the anniversary of his death.

• 47:39Ant McPartlin?

  He died and he was born on the same day.

• 47:41Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 47:42Ant McPartlin?

  How's your luck?

• 47:42Declan Donnelly?

  How is your luck?

• 47:43Ant McPartlin?

  I don't know if I'd want that.

• 47:44Declan Donnelly?

  This week should have been his 462nd birthday.

• 47:47Ant McPartlin?

  Well, you say should have been. No one's ever going to live that long. So it's not should have been, but 462.

• 47:53Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 47:54Ant McPartlin?

  Wow.

• 47:54Declan Donnelly?

  Got me thinking. We've done a lot on this podcast over the last however many months.

• 48:00Ant McPartlin?

  Of?

• 48:01Declan Donnelly?

  Banana ratings.

• 48:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 48:02Declan Donnelly?

  My diary.

• 48:04Ant McPartlin?

  Silly stuff.

• 48:04Declan Donnelly?

  You're buying pants.

• 48:06Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, my pants.

• 48:06Declan Donnelly?

  We haven't done anything high culture.

• 48:08Ant McPartlin?

  No, well, we talked about the coupon technology of the pants.

• 48:11Declan Donnelly?

  I reiterate, we haven't done anything high.

• 48:14Ant McPartlin?

  High culture. Okay, what do we do?

• 48:17Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I thought this week- Is a perfect week to invoke the spirit of Shakespeare and do some high culture on the show.

• 48:25Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, come on then.

• 48:26Declan Donnelly?

  What if you use Gemini to translate some of the parts of our show into ye olde English?

• 48:30Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's good.

• 48:31Declan Donnelly?

  Let me get me specs on for this.

• 48:32Ant McPartlin?

  Sexy specs. Right, you're going to type it in then?

• 48:34Declan Donnelly?

  I'm going to put it in. So Gemini, we want our podcast to sound a bit more cultured. Please, can you write an introduction in early modern English? Listen, we have heard of the glory of the spear kings in days of old, but today here they are, ant and deck. They are good men, skilled in wit and full of gliss.

• 49:05Ant McPartlin?

  That's good. Come hither and hang out with us. Good, isn't it? That's a good intro, that. That's very good.

• 49:14Declan Donnelly?

  Let me try another one.

• 49:15Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 49:15Declan Donnelly?

  Gemini, we always start our podcast asking how our weeks have been. And I've usually taken the dogs for a walk and I've usually spent an unholy amount of time loading my dishwasher. Let's have a look at what it comes up with.

• 49:42Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yes. How about, always as if you guys knew a rough. I've always wondered why a rough. That works. That works.

• 49:50Declan Donnelly?

  Looked you well, my friend? How goes your week?

• 49:53Ant McPartlin?

  Low deck, I was in the woods with my hounds. And though the earth was slick with rain, I did not shrink from reclaiming their pungent tribute.

• 50:02Declan Donnelly?

  What? Is that picking up dog poo?

• 50:04Ant McPartlin?

  Picking up the poo.

• 50:04Declan Donnelly?

  Picking up the dog poo. Listen.

• 50:06Ant McPartlin?

  Hold on, let me get me wrong.

• 50:08Declan Donnelly?

  That is a noble life. But I, I spent many hours with the brass vessels. I set the plates into the cunningly wrought wash vat.

• 50:20Declan Donnelly?

  My toil is ended. The damp carriage stands emptied of its ceramic hoard.

• 50:26Ant McPartlin?

  You are strong, deck. The washer servant is a grim spirit to overcome. This is good. This is very good.

• 50:34Declan Donnelly?

  Well, that's it. That's been decided. I am only speaking like this from now to come hither. From now on.

• 50:41Ant McPartlin?

  Henceforth.

• 50:42Declan Donnelly?

  Henceforth.

• 50:42Ant McPartlin?

  Henceforth.

• 50:43Declan Donnelly?

  From now, forever.

• 51:08Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, well done.

• 51:11Declan Donnelly?

  Shall we have a look at this postbag?

• 51:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, come on.

• 51:13Declan Donnelly?

  Let me whip the postbag out.

• 51:15Ant McPartlin?

  Let's have a look at a couple of letters. Hi, Deck. On the way to the Lake District, we stopped in at an American diner in Myers Cough. Drinking our milkshakes, we were surprised to find a giant mural featuring a car mechanic who looks suspiciously like Deck Wavens.

• 51:35Ant McPartlin?

  We could not get over it. Our kids love seeing this and they are fans of you guys too. Love the pod. Holly and Mike from Watford. That does look like you.

• 51:44Declan Donnelly?

  That does look like me. Does that make me a time traveller?

• 51:46Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you're also a time traveller and we never met each other. We're obviously going through different timelines.

• 51:51Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 51:52Ant McPartlin?

  That's what's going on there. Who's the girl below you?

• 51:54Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not sure, but she's cute. I like her.

• 51:56Ant McPartlin?

  She is cute. Maybe you and her had a thing back in the day.

• 51:59Declan Donnelly?

  But we were just so mismatched. I was so big and she was so small. That's very good. I like that a lot.

• 52:06Ant McPartlin?

  Right, last letter.

• 52:06Declan Donnelly?

  Go on.

• 52:07Ant McPartlin?

  Last letter. It's been stuck in the box for months, months and months, right? It's a recipe for sweet fried eggs. And the funny thing is, it's got nothing to do with eggs at all. Would you like us to make it for you? Would you?

• 52:20Declan Donnelly?

  I would love it.

• 52:22Ant McPartlin?

  You might have seen this, me making sweet fried eggs and why don't you?

• 52:25Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, it's gone viral again.

• 52:27Ant McPartlin?

  On the BBC archive. Do you want me to make it again?

• 52:30Declan Donnelly?

  Can you do it?

• 52:30Ant McPartlin?

  I can. I don't even need the script. I can make it again.

• 52:33Declan Donnelly?

  Come on.

• 52:34Ant McPartlin?

  All I need is the crude ingredients.

• 52:38Speaker 10

  So what are you gonna do, right? You've gotta get slices.

• 52:41Declan Donnelly?

  Of Swiss roll.

• 52:42Speaker 10

  Swiss roll. And you've gotta slice them thinly like that. And that's gonna be the base of your egg. This recipe's called sweet fried eggs. I don't like eggs.

• 52:51Ant McPartlin?

  I don't like eggs.

• 52:52Declan Donnelly?

  It's not you don't like jam.

• 52:54Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, but I do like jam. I do.

• 52:56Speaker 10

  I do like jam.

• 52:57Declan Donnelly?

  He says this in the clip. Ah, no, I don't like jam, so I'm gonna use marmalade.

• 53:00Speaker 10

  But I do like jam.

• 53:01Declan Donnelly?

  But he does like jam, he lied.

• 53:03Ant McPartlin?

  I do like jam, I did lie, because I thought.

• 53:04Declan Donnelly?

  He lied for TV purposes.

• 53:06Ant McPartlin?

  It's better content.

• 53:07Speaker 10

  When I was eleven year old.

• 53:09Declan Donnelly?

  Still, he was even producing them then.

• 53:11Ant McPartlin?

  So you see how quickly the marmalade came, the Swiss roll came, and the peach slices came.

• 53:16Declan Donnelly?

  How far's the butter?

• 53:16Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, where's the butter? Nearly here, it's nearly here.

• 53:19Declan Donnelly?

  Nearly here, nearly.

• 53:20Ant McPartlin?

  Right, so you take your sliced Swiss roll, you get a knife, and then you get your marmalade.

• 53:26Speaker 10

  Because I don't like jam.

• 53:27Declan Donnelly?

  He does like jam, he does like jam, he's a liar.

• 53:29Ant McPartlin?

  You spread that on there.

• 53:32Speaker 10

  Which will help. So that would be.

• 53:35Declan Donnelly?

  Now, my issue is. Now, my issue is. I don't like marmalade.

• 53:39Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I'll do one with marmalade.

• 53:41Declan Donnelly?

  Order some jam.

• 53:41Ant McPartlin?

  One without, you don't need it necessarily.

• 53:44Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, don't you?

• 53:44Ant McPartlin?

  No, looking back on the recipe now, I'm still unsure as why I added the marmalade.

• 53:49Declan Donnelly?

  Just.

• 53:50Ant McPartlin?

  Because it's.

• 53:51Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. And also, the Swiss roll's also already got jam in it.

• 53:54Speaker 10

  Yeah.

• 53:55Ant McPartlin?

  Come on, why don't you, Ant? You're talking, you're behind.

• 53:59Speaker 10

  So you get.

• 54:00Declan Donnelly?

  So this. Squirt of cream.

• 54:01Speaker 10

  You get a squirt of cream.

• 54:02Ant McPartlin?

  So you go round.

• 54:03Speaker 10

  Round the outside like that. So then that's the white of the egg. So flatten that down, please, with the knife, please, tech. And I'll do another one here on this side.

• 54:12Declan Donnelly?

  Do you use that amount of cream?

• 54:14Speaker 10

  No, you don't have to use that amount of cream. I just got carried away. I like the process of squirting the cream more than the actual cream.

• 54:21Ant McPartlin?

  And then, uh. You got it wrong, guys. It's like half peach. You need like half a peach.

• 54:28Declan Donnelly?

  Not peach slices.

• 54:29Ant McPartlin?

  Not peach slice.

• 54:31Speaker 10

  Excuse me, fingers, because they've got the peach slices wrong.

• 54:35Ant McPartlin?

  It's not really worked out as well as. Oh, now I've dropped this.

• 54:39Declan Donnelly?

  He used to be better at this. He used to be better at this.

• 54:41Ant McPartlin?

  Turns out, I did it one take when I was eleven. Oh, they're very slippery. They're very slippery. So there you go. There's my new version of Sweet Farners, which I cannot make as well as I did when I was 11. I want all you before me voice broke.

• 54:59Declan Donnelly?

  Very good.

• 55:00Ant McPartlin?

  What a shame.

• 55:02Speaker 08

  Um, we've got a little surprise for you.

• 55:04Ant McPartlin?

  Have you?

• 55:05Speaker 08

  Yeah, have a listen to this.

• 55:07Speaker 14

  Hello, Ant. It's Russell T Davies here with many happy memories of those days we spent making Why Don't You?

• 55:13Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 55:14Speaker 14

  What a laugh. For some reason, we decided the Newcastle gang should all live on a double decker bus and drive around the place. I remember one episode, we swung the swing bridge in the middle of Newcastle over the Tyne. That was very exciting. I loved it. I remember you so clearly because you were so brilliant and so hardworking. You were very quiet then, quiet, hardworking boy. And I wrote all those scripts. They're the first things I ever wrote. £250 per script I got paid. And even those recipes and stuff all need a script. So that was me sitting on an old fashioned typewriter, bashing them out. Very happy days. So proud of everything you've done since. Genuinely, I think you're brilliant. Held back by the other fella, obviously, but you've always come out really well.

• 55:56Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you, Russell T Davies.

• 55:57Speaker 14

  And genuinely, nice to say hello. So proud of you. Congratulations and many, many, many happy memories.

• 56:03Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my God. What a lovely surprise that was.

• 56:06Declan Donnelly?

  Did you ever know Russell T Davies?

• 56:08Ant McPartlin?

  I remember a Welsh guy being there, but I'll never put two and two together. I do. I do remember because we used to sit in this old church hall and we used to like do readers and stuff. Oh my God, it's the Russell T Davies.

• 56:20Declan Donnelly?

  How amazing is that?

• 56:22Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my God. Well, we're flattered. We're flattered that you've done Voice Note. You are TV royalty and we thank you very much. How amazing. Wow.

• 56:30Declan Donnelly?

  That is incredible.

• 56:32Ant McPartlin?

  Even though he slated you a little bit.

• 56:34Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not really a fan of his, but there you go.

• 56:37Ant McPartlin?

  Love you Russell. Right, that's it. That's it. Do you want to try one of the sweet fried eggs?

• 56:41Declan Donnelly?

  No, thank you. They look delicious.

• 56:43Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 56:44Declan Donnelly?

  But I'm gonna save myself for some lunch.

• 56:47Ant McPartlin?

  For real eggs.

• 56:48Declan Donnelly?

  Hello? Ah!

• 56:50Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, just, I've literally said, that's all we've got, time fall. Is that the right butter? Thank you, by the way. Slightly salted.

• 56:57Declan Donnelly?

  Absolutely not.

• 56:58Ant McPartlin?

  Butter blend?

• 56:59Declan Donnelly?

  Butter blend?

• 56:59Ant McPartlin?

  No, I'll say goodbye whilst you're doing all this. And make sure you send in anything you would like to swap with Dex's Slow Cuka. Send them to me and I will leaf through them and we'll go through with Dex, what he wants to swap. Thank you very much for sending in all your swaps this week. Dex is, quickly butter in a slice of starting with butter blend. Terrible choice. Should bring in your own butter for now.

• 57:22Declan Donnelly?

  I'm gonna, I'm gonna, if you want it done properly.

• 57:25Ant McPartlin?

  And I might have a, I might have a slice of sweet fried egg. No, in fact, no, I think the cream is curdled already. Come on.

• 57:33Declan Donnelly?

  One bite?

• 57:34Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I do.

• 57:35Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.
