In short
A “bonus episode” where Ant and Dec sort months of YouTube comments into three piles: file (to respond/action), pile (to ignore/forget), and shred (to discard). They also trade personal anecdotes and do “food” and “admin” segments, including trying a viewer recipe and using Gemini for post-golf stretches/yoga.
Guests
No guest hosts appear; the “guests” are commenters/viewers whose messages are read aloud (e.g., Jemima, Fiona, Christopher Webb, Simon Richards, Sean, Ashley Nixon, Tara, Gemma, Holly May Wood, Les Price, Julie, Craig, Emma, Kim, etc.).
Key claims
Declan “has never watched Jurassic Park”; they plan to compile a list of classic movies Dex hasn’t seen; they’ll blacklist a listener named Greg Jameson; they’ll try Scottish “butteries” and Scottish macaroni pies; they debate Marmite/banana sandwiches and jam vs marmalade.
Notable examples
“Let’s file a pile / oh that’s shred” system; Gemini-rated pigeon pose done on a conference table; trying Christopher Webb’s Marmite-and-banana sandwich; “Greg’s is rubbish” comment leading to shredding/blacklisting.

1:33Declan Donnelly:Hi everybody! Hello everyone! Welcome to another bonus episode of Hanging Out With Me and Him. Welcome back to the hangout. What the bloody hell is going on here? Well, we are now five months in to the podcast. We launched in January. And I'll be honest with you, we've got a lot of admin that's been piling up. Admin? We've got a lot of stuff. Who cares? Oh, you've got to do your admin, Ant. Do you? Come on. My wife does all of that. She does. I'm not being sexist. She's great at it. I'm terrible at it. Well. Terrible. She's really good. She hasn't done any of ours from the podcast, so we have to go through it.
2:08She would. She would. She'd like it. She'd like it. She'd love it. She loves stationery. She'd love these things. We've got little trays in front of us. One says file. The other says pile. If we file it, that means we're going to action it. If we pile it, that just goes into one of my infamous piles, which we just kind of forget about.
2:27Declan Donnelly:On your wife's nerves. Yeah. Don't take that pile home. No. Whatever you do. And then under the desk, we've got shred. Oh, good. If you particularly hate a comment or a thing, we will shred it. So, Jemima, can I ask you something? Yes. What are these? What are these piles of paper I see in front of me labelled Deck Ant Food General? These are many. We have sifted through all of our YouTube comments. We've pulled out things that we probably need to get back to people on. Right, okay. Oh, God. Yeah. Never go through the comments. No, I like going through the comments, actually. Never do it. Do you not?
3:03Never have, never will. Oh, I love it. Some absolute zingers in there. Is there? So you might have read some of these? Might have done, yeah. It's so serious, this. Struggling with that? It's so serious. We've got, what do you call these? Strings? String on our glasses, so we can do that, and we know where they are. I could have these every day, actually.
3:22Declan Donnelly:How did you really struggle? Why did you struggle so much with putting your glasses on? I didn't want to knock my wig off. Hey!
3:31Declan Donnelly:he says he says as he struggles with you've got to go further up the thing you see what do you mean it's come off it's caught on me yeah I'm not used to wearing glasses I only have to wear them in emergency situations what do you mean like if somebody downs 999 you put your glasses on I need to put my glasses on no when my eyes get really tired in the evenings or I'm really tired in the mornings I might need to wear them but other than that I try not to because all I've been told is the more you wear them the worse your eyes get is that true? as a glasses wearer for a long time you're wearing them more now than I've ever seen you wear them exactly because they're getting worse and now I've got varifocals this is boring isn't it let's file a pile is there a jingle?
4:14let's make one up all together now let's file a pile oh that's shred thank you Fiona
4:24this is from Three Spoons of Joy It's a funny name, isn't it? Yeah. Is it Welsh? Like Bethan, doesn't exist. The funny thing is, when you send something via the post office... Why did you laugh? Did you read it? No, I'm just like, the funny thing is, we'll be the judge of that. When you send something via the post office, you have to tell them what's inside. Imagine explaining, it's a crisp.
4:52Declan Donnelly:It's a what? It's one single crisp. It's a crisp. Just one crisp. And we've got the crisp. We do. It's still good. Look at it. It looks exactly the same as when it first got here. It's lost some of the order. Has it? Yeah, it has. But none of the texture and none of the form. It's kept its form. Form. F-O-M. Form. Form. Form. Form? No, there. Another Form Form Form man Form Form I'm forming in a minute Were you Form I said that shut up So I said none of us form Why are you laughing I've got the same accent as you Form Form Form Form Form Form Form I said form None of this screaming makes a good podcast.
6:00What are we going to do
6:00Declan Donnelly:with that, the crisp? It's funny. It's funny. I'm keeping it. I'm keeping it. We're fine with it? Yeah, it's funny. It made me laugh. Right. I'm going to do one that is just for me. Just for you? And you do one that is just for you. Okay. So, I would like to know more about Anne's other two coffee machines. Sanjay. Okay, Sanjay. Would you? Can you take this offline? We could take it offline. This is not interesting for the rest of us. But there's no email. So I'm just going to have to let you all know. So I've got your normal instant coffee, right? What's that? Just a spoon? Just a spoon. That's not a coffee machine though, right?
6:42Declan Donnelly:No, no, no. I'm just explaining my coffee station. I've got a station. A station? Yeah. So it's one corner of the kitchen. So in the drawer below, I've got coffee spoons. I've got sugar. I've got instant coffee and I've got mugs. Right? Listen, stop getting distracted with your phone and stuff. I'm talking. Sorry. That's the station. So how easy is that? I thought I could catch up on a few emails. How easy is that when you pull out the drawer and you've got that there? And above it, on the bench, I have got an espresso machine and capsules. All my capsules are there. I've got a proper barista-style coffee machine, like a big old one.
7:19Declan Donnelly:Put that down. Stop reading ahead. I'm talking. I don't even drink coffee. I've also got a smeg. It's like a coffee maid. So you can program the time that you want your coffee the next morning and you get filtered coffee. Look, everybody's gobs are sexy. It's got a white oven. So do you know about a tea's maid? Pouting. When we were growing up, tea's maids were a real thing. Do you know what would be nice? An alarm clock with a little grill in it that made you bacon for the morning when you woke up. Imagine waking up with the smell of bacon. By the side of your bed. By the side of your bed. Oh, you put it over on the chest of drawers.
7:59In your bedroom. Why not? You're grilling bacon.
8:01Declan Donnelly:You're making coffee? I need to eat. That's downstairs. I don't wake up when it's in the kitchen. Well, I could keep that in the kitchen. Yeah, you could. That I agree with. Right. I won't. I'll put it on my bed. What do I do with that? Well, I've answered it now. So, shred. Yeah, we pile it. Filed. Done. Filed. Done. Yeah. Okay. I'm still not sure of this system. Neither am I. You need to get my wife around. Sean. Sean says. Sean. My new claim to fame is I have the same size foot as Dick. Shame I've got arthritis in my hip and can't bend over and tie my laces anymore. Hey, just like you. Nothing wrong with me.
8:42No, I've got tight hips. Not arthritic. Thanks for the info, Sean. Interesting Sean fact for all you Sean fact fans out there. I think we'll shred that. Yeah, we shred that. It's all right. He's doing a full body workout.
8:55Declan Donnelly:Well, don't put it on the other things. What? Because we can't. Thanks for that, Sean.
9:03Declan Donnelly:Right, what do you want to do now? I'm going to do food. Because I'm peckish. And hopefully there's some nice recipe ideas in here. Guys! Listen, I'm reading. It's so rude. You're so rude.
9:22Declan Donnelly:Guys, if you fancy a treat, try Marmite and banana sandwiches. That's not me saying. That is Christopher Webb, who sent it in. What do you think of that? I don't like the sound of that. That sounds disgusting. Are you a Marmite fan? I can't remember. Did we talk about this? No, I don't mind it. No, you have to either love it or hate it. It's all right. It's okay. No, no, no, no. I know what they say. Oh, you haven't made it. Oh, and there's Wollich. Yippee. Here you go. Now, I love Marmite. And I love bananas. So this could be a sandwich that we both could enjoy. Or we're both going to be disgusted by.
10:05Declan Donnelly:It tastes sensation. So if you're just listening, it's white bread. Any butter on there? Just Marmite. No butter, just Marmite. And then bananas. Yeah. No sugar in the bananas or anything? Sweet enough. Sweet enough. Just like you. Shall we try it? Okay.
10:23Declan Donnelly:Come on then! Come on. It's okay. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. That's bizarre. There's something weird going on in my mouth. And I like it. It's like there's a party on my tongue and everybody's invited. Yeah. I'm invited. I'm at a party. Great party, isn't it? I don't hate it. I don't... I quite like it. I quite like it. Banana and Marmite sandwiches on white soft bread. That is quite weird. I'm going in again. It's less good. Is it? No, it's okay. That's pretty good. I don't hate that. Well done, Christopher Webb. Okay, Christopher Webb. That is a very good suggestion. That is being filed for the future.
11:12Declan Donnelly:I mean, I think I'll remember the recipe. but just in case I don't it's in What was it again? How did I make that banana and marmite sandwich? On white bread. Okay, would you like to do a food one? Yeah. Do you want to say that? Take it? Yeah. Yeah, I'll take it and put it over there. Yeah, great. This next bit is brought to you by Gemini. Google's AI app. Golf was good the other day. It was good, wasn't it? I loved it. Are you stiff? Oh my God. I'm really stiff. Like, I never I never used to get this stiff. Haven't played golf. Obviously, we're getting a bit older. We need to stretch more. Don't we, though?
11:49We do. After golf, a lot of twists and a lot of turning. There is. I need to stretch. Do you want me to ask Gemini to see if there's a good kitchen stretch? I think that is a very good idea.
11:58Declan Donnelly:You should, though. A really quick stretch. Okay, let me... A good post-golf kitchen stretch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm asking. I'm asking. Gemini, please, can you give Dex some stretches to do after golf in the kitchen when the kids have gone to bed? Okay. Gemini says, here's a quick, quiet kitchen routine for Dick. Hold each for 20 to 30 seconds and breathe deeply. Okay. The kitchen sink. Lat and spine stretch. So grip the edge of the sink. Step back. Hinge at the hips until the torso is parallel. This is the kitchen sink. That's it. That's it. That's it. Good idea. That's a good one. So breathe.
12:41Declan Donnelly:Breathe. Breathe. it's got me hammies as well and breathe out there you go well done counter quad stretch hold the counter for balance grab one ankle behind him and pull the heel to the glutes keep knees close that's it old school breathe
13:00Declan Donnelly:next it's good isn't it yeah do you want another one hamstring and calf hinge step one foot back with the heel down hinge forward of the hips keep the front leg straight and hands on the sink. This is the sink, remember? Oh, yeah. And breathe. I just like the breathing. The kids are in bed so you can't be that loud. Oh, yeah. That's a good point. Very good. I like a bit of yoga as well if there's anything a bit more. Do you want to ask Gemini? Yeah, come on. Let me just get my glasses out. Anything a bit more calming, you mean? Yes. Okay. Gemini, can you come up with some yoga poses that I can do?
13:38Gemini says, read these out to me so I can work this out.
13:41Declan Donnelly:Are you going to do it again? Yeah. Okay. Shall I read you, Hoth Pigeon? Yeah. From all fours, bring one knee behind the same side wrist. Angle in the foot inward. Slide the other leg straight back and lower the hips. Fold onto the forearms if comfortable. Yeah. Where you going? Oh, he's getting on the table. Don't get on the table. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good football stretch, that is. Not a name, jeans. Hold on. Let me just see if Gemini rates your position. Can you hold that pose? Right, okay, I'm going to take a picture and upload it to Gemini. And then, yeah, attach that. And I'm going to ask, Gemini, rate this pigeon pose, please.
14:25Declan Donnelly:You can come sit back down if you want. Analyze it. Based on standard yoga alignment, here is a breakdown of this unique tabletop rendition of the pigeon pose. Unique. Climbing onto a polished wooden conference table definitely adds a level of difficulty. and risk to the furniture. Standard points for creativity, but a yoga mat on the floor is highly recommended for stability and grip. The front knee appears to be bent and tucked under the torso. In a classic pigeon pose, you want the front shin to be tracking toward parallel with the front of the mat or table. In this case, here it looks a bit compressed, likely due to the lack of space.
15:00Declan Donnelly:In those jeans. The extension of the back leg is quite active. A traditional pigeon pose relies on gravity to let the back leg, hip, and top of the foot Rest flat on the floor to deepen the hip flexor stretch. So an enthusiastic effort. Not bad. In jeans. In jeans. Let's not forget. He was wearing jeans. Let's not forget that, guys. Ah, so there you go. With Gemini, you can chat live with a truly helpful AI assistant.

I didn't write them, Declan. Coffee, coffee. Not to be dramatic, but you guys are my version of serotonin. Anton Dectonin from Mads Gordon. Is that, does that mean we're standing asleep? No, serotonin is good. Is it? That's good. That makes you happy. Oh, okay. I thought she was being rude. That's a very nice thing. Thanks, Mance. Thanks, Mance. That's it. That's all we've got to say about that. File it. We'll file that. I thought she was being rude since we stand up to sleep.
16:17No. I was going to smash her face in. No. Over the internet. One from Simon Richards. Yeah, come on. The one that you read ahead on. Eagly anticipated. Oh, yeah. OMG. Uh-huh. Declan Donnelly has never watched Jurassic Park. That is the most shocking revelation ever. Even the bloke stranded on a desert island for 50 years has seen Jurassic Park. Fantastic podcast. Respect, guys. Oh, thank you very much, Simon. I haven't seen Jurassic Park. There's loads of movies he hasn't seen. I kind of get it. It's that dinosaurs come to life and everybody gets a bit scared.
16:46Declan Donnelly:But you could say that about most movies. That's why I don't watch 11. No, but you could say that about Rocky. I can't get it. It's the underdog fighter that comes and wins the World Championship. Oh, but that is good, though. Yeah, but so is Jurassic Park. Justin Post is one of my all-time favourite movies. Is it? Yes. I should watch it for you. You should. I'm not in it. When you say that, I'll watch it for you. It makes me think that I'm in it, but I'm not in it. I'll watch it for you. So we've got a deeper bond. Like we need it. File it? File it? I mean, we should. I'll tell you what we will do.
17:22Declan Donnelly:We will file it and we should add to this, make a note, that we need to get a list of all of the classic movies that Deck hasn't watched and make them watch them. E.T.? Have you seen E.T.? No. Have you seen, I don't know, Lawrence of Arabia? No. Why? Why would I watch that? Because it's a classic. Is it? Yes. Okay. Goodfellas, have you seen Goodfellas? Yeah, I've seen that. I like that. Gremlins? Yeah, I've seen that. The Goonies? Yeah, I've seen that. Oh, that's good. Oh, good. I've seen a few. Teen Wolf? Yes, I love Teen Wolf. Oh, really? Not Team Wolf 2 though. No, no one watched Team Wolf 2.
17:57That was rubbish. Citizen Kane? Yes, I've seen Citizen Kane. I like that. Let's have a general. Is it your turn or my turn? Yes, it's my turn. Thank you. Oh, mate. Takes so long over it.
18:06Declan Donnelly:Unpopular opinion. Greggs is rubbish. What? No, no, let's read it. Let's see what he has to say. Let's see what he has to say. No, no, no. Press it. I've ruined it now. Who's it from? First of all, let's name and shame. Greggs is rubbish. From who? It was at its peak in the... You're sending it in. Hold on. Greg. Greg, Jamie's son. Greg's is rubbish. It was at its peak in the late 80s, mid-90s. Now, me a shadow of his former self. Back in the day, the Greg's Whopper was a thing of beauty indeed. And the pastries were actually nice. The bread was better quality back then too. Greg, I don't know what you're talking about.

Absolutely lush. Got a very interesting one here from Gem. Thing is, she says. I like how she started it. Yeah, I do. Just straight in, no high, no nothing. Just in. Thing is. Thing is. if Paul McCartney was replaced so long ago then the guy we have now surely just deserves to be him at this point like he's been putting the time in says Jem yeah I think I think she raises a very good point pilot because if he was replaced like early doors when Paul McCartney was young he's been Paul McCartney for longer than Paul McCartney and he's still done really good work like really good work in some ways he's better than the other Paul McCartney Yeah, I agree.
24:41The other Paul McCartney was never as good as this Paul McCartney.
24:43Declan Donnelly:No, this Paul McCartney, you know, he's had different bands. He's had solo careers. He's two of the world. He deserves it now. Yeah, he deserves it. Well done. That's very good.

If they miss their flight that's their tough luck. Did I say that? That's very harsh. That's not me. Were you having a bad day? Had you just come back from a flight?
27:51Declan Donnelly:I think that was you. Was that me? Yeah, I would never want anyone to miss their flight because I'd seen it happen to somebody in Portugal actually and the guy was late and he was like excuse me, excuse me and he was like do you mind if I skip past I'm going to miss my flight. And these people ahead of us, we said yes, he got ahead of us. They said no. And he missed his flight. No. And it made me feel sick for the poor lad. And he was a bit sweaty. He was obviously being on a stag do. This kid clearly needed to get home. He was in a whole world of pain. You know what I mean? He had to get home and he wasn't allowed.

33:41Declan Donnelly:From Alam. Alam. Are you? Are you? Jed, we got, I mean, I got a bourbon in there. Yeah, you did. that was deemed quite boring I think custard creams are slightly more boring than bourbons they're very boring they're quite boring what you get when you like give blood or something custard cream I quite like a custard cream I do like it because it's not my top three I don't mind a custard cream but you're right it's a bit more blood donnery isn't it blood donner biscuit blood donner biscuit blood donner biscuit biscuit I love that talking over on spec guys from Britain you're going to love this podcast We're going to fire lightning.

What is a type A and a type B? Like, organised is type A. Type B is kind of head in the clouds. Chaotic. Is that a blood type? How do you get... Well, I'm chaotic and unorganised. That's what they think you would do first. Yeah, well, I'm not. I might be chaotic, but my chaos is organised. This is organised chaos. Actually, I'm not very organised.

On this week’s bonus episode, one viewer gets blacklisted as the boys dive into your comments and decide whether to File, Pile, or Shred them! We find out who’s more Type A and who’s more Type B, and they tackle a big question: does Bigfoot live in Hampshire?
Plus, Ant challenges Dec to get his face smashed in, the boys brave banana and Marmite sandwiches, and one of them struggles to say a particular word!
