Ant and Dec RIFT… Who’s The Bear-Faced Liar?? 🐻

5:43Declan Donnelly:Whilst I was bare in the shower.

5:46Ant McPartlin:I also did a bit of shopping. When? After the bear hunt. Did you now? I went to some Canadian shops.

5:52Declan Donnelly:Well, when I was just bumming around the hotel on my own. What were you doing? Bumming around the hotel. Going here, thinking, where is everybody? And everybody just rocked up later on. You didn't feel to mention this when we had dinner that night. No. Because it was a dirty secret, that's why. Because you feel guilty about going without us. I went shopping.

6:11Ant McPartlin:Yeah, come on. There's a shop out here called Mark's. Not with Spencer. Yeah. Just marks on his own. Did you steal something from there? I didn't steal anything from there. I paid for it. But what I did see were Jamie Oliver's underpants. What? They sell them in Canada. Oh, those ones. His comfiest ever pants. Uh-huh. I bought a pair. And? He's got a point, you know.

6:35Declan Donnelly:Oh, you're right. I swear to God, you're just driving me crazy today. So, first of all, you didn't buy the underpants that I recommended. No, I didn't. that I've banged on about on this podcast for months and months and months. They weren't in the shop. They were too expensive for him. But you bought Jamie Oliver's. But these... Because they were discounted. Well, they were... Worn by one careful owner.

6:55Ant McPartlin:No, no. From a thrift store. They're not actually Jamie Oliver's. Flea market. No. But it was kind of a perfect storm. So I thought I'm going to buy them to try them. And then I found a pair that just were perfect for me. You found a pair? In the display. Right, go on.

7:14Declan Donnelly:I found it, man. Why were they perfect for you? I'll show you. Oh, God, no. Now he's undoing his belt. For those of you just listening, Dec is undoing his belt to show me. Hear this?

7:26Ant McPartlin:Yeah, I don't want to hear that. Who wants to hear that? That's for just the people listening that I'm doing my zip. Oh, God. Look, sax pants. Jimmy Hall's pants. With. What? Canadian beers. What?

7:41Declan Donnelly:What the hell? Who have you turned into? Now you wear novelty underwear. What the hell is this? This is unsettling. Disturbing, unsettling, damaging to my retinas. I don't want to see your arse. Don't show them. They don't want to see it. This is a tradition now. You showed your boxes last week. Yeah, he loves it, doesn't he? One of my onesies. Do them up properly and sit back down. Naturalist. Yeah, we can hear it. We can hear the fly. We can hear it.

8:09Ant McPartlin:ASMR.

8:09Declan Donnelly:This is what it's come to. You said last week. I used to have fun on this podcast. We used to laugh. We used to hang out. Now I'm just... Canadian beers, comfy pants. Bears, deers, friends. Sorry, Riley, you weren't involved in the bear hunt. I shouldn't have directed that at you. You've got the next one? There's another one.

8:32Ant McPartlin:But yes, so it's been a lovely time. Great, great. Sad that it's coming towards the end.

8:36Declan Donnelly:Looking forward to getting home now. Can't wait. Right. Hello. Hello. Hello. We had two hamsters. Ah, good! Call Ant and Dec. This is better. This has cheer me up. Oh, so this is late. 17, 1983. On the bonus episode last week, we had a letter, which was quite an in-depth letter about someone who had goldfish called, and they named them, Ant Dec and Stephen Mulhern. And lots of things happened to the Ant Fish and the Stephen Mulhern Fish. Go back and watch it if you haven't watched it. It made me laugh more than anything for a long time. So we've had a follow-up from that. We have some correspondence here saying we had two hamsters called Ant and Dec.

9:15Declan Donnelly:We came home one day to find Dec had eaten Ant. What? And there was just a pile of fluff left. Do they know that, hamsters? Is that a thing? Are hamsters cannibals? No, they're not. Are they? They can be. Oh, you greedy little git. Based on these two stories, call a pet Dec if you want them to thrive. Yes. This is Brooke L. Very good point.

9:38Ant McPartlin:That's a very good point.

9:39Declan Donnelly:Me says, oh my God, how creepy is this? I have the exact same story. Like literally word for word. Ha, you can never really have an original experience, can you? So what does she mean? The fish or the hamster? This was a comment on the TikTok of the story. So someone commented about the hamster and then that person had the same experience with their hamster also called Deck ate ants. So two Deck hamsters have eaten two ant hamsters. Wow. What is it about that name? That just makes people, the name makes them underhand and evil and murderous and cannibalistic. Got a letter here saying hi to Aunt Heckless Corner.

10:17Ant McPartlin:Hey.

10:17Declan Donnelly:Hey. And Aunt. I missed my own name. I was going to say. Hi, Aunt. I'm Heckless Corner. Oh, no, just, it's not. We missed your name out. Oh. Hi, Aunt and Heckless Corner. I'm currently working in Whistler too. So imagine my surprise when I went out for dinner yesterday evening, turned around and was suddenly confronted by Aunt in the flesh. I was in the flesh. You confronted this person. I knew you were in the area, but I didn't expect to bump into you without prior warning. Naturally, I did a double take followed by a slightly longer inspection, at which point I realized it wasn't actually you at all.

10:54Declan Donnelly:It was, in fact, a decorative mask. So I have two questions. Was this mask based on your face? And if so, why does it look suspiciously like Noel Gallagher? I await clarification on this extremely important manner. Yours faithfully, Dick. What? You've written the letter in? Yeah. I swear to God, this episode has just gone insanely mad.

11:23Ant McPartlin:I was in a restaurant.

11:25Declan Donnelly:We went to dinner. We went for dinner after the bear hunt.

11:27Ant McPartlin:After the bear hunt. We were sitting there. Go back and keep it all. I was like, look at that mask on the wall. I said, you know, we get loads of letters about people going, oh, look, Ant, you're Mr. Whippy. Oh, look, Ant, you're a plumber. Yeah, me jealous of you. Look, Ant, no. I was like, look, Ant, you've got a mask on the wall.

11:56Declan Donnelly:That actually does look like me. Me and Noel Gallagher. It's the eyebrows. It is the eyebrows, you're right. Big forehead, big eyebrows. It's uncanny. Uncanny. Uncanny. So what is that mask? Is that some native tribe? I did ask. Indigenous tribe? I asked the waitress at the restaurant.

12:17Ant McPartlin:And she said? She said. You're called the good-looking tribe. They've had the restaurant for, I can't remember how many years it is, they've had the restaurant for an amount of time. When they took over the restaurant, the masks were on the wall already, so they just left them on there. Spooky. So they didn't want to disturb any spirits.

12:34Declan Donnelly:You wouldn't want to disturb them, would you? You wouldn't want to say that spirit, would you? It's quite a hard face, isn't it? It is, isn't it? Quite a miserable looking face. But it is very... It's not like my face from your life.

12:44Ant McPartlin:This episode, yeah.

12:45Declan Donnelly:Yeah, this episode so far, thanks to you lot. Well, great. So are you done now? Are we done now? Can we carry on with a normal episode of the pod? Yeah. We can? Yeah. No more surprises? No. Good. So the guys have come up with a quiz. Is it a quiz about Canada? To see how much we've learned whilst we've been here.

13:05Ant McPartlin:So, been here for three, four weeks?

13:07Declan Donnelly:Yeah. Three and a half weeks? No-way-dian or Canadian?

13:10Ant McPartlin:Canadian or no-way-dian. Canadian or no-way-dian.

13:14Declan Donnelly:I like it.

13:14Ant McPartlin:Right, okay.

13:15Declan Donnelly:Good name.

13:15Ant McPartlin:So, all these things, Canadian or they're made up? And our Canadian expert has put it together, so she's going to take control. Thank you, Riley.

13:24Declan Donnelly:Here are a list of following items. You guys are going to answer if they're Canadian or no-way-dian.

13:30Ant McPartlin:Okay. Thank you for clarifying the rules.

13:32Declan Donnelly:The first one is Jenga. Jenga. Have you ever played Jenga? Yeah. Yeah, Jenga, the game where you push the blocks out and then it falls down. Yeah, the blocks, yeah, yeah. Jenga. I'm going to say, because it's random and it's top of the list, Canadian. Do you know what?

13:50Ant McPartlin:I've seen a lot of Jengas set up in Canada, like in bars. In all of the restaurants you go to after bear hunts. There was even two bears had a set of Jenga. No, yeah, there's Jenga set up everywhere. So I'm going to say, yeah, it's Canadian.

14:09Declan Donnelly:We do love our Jenga. It is Nowadian.

14:12Ant McPartlin:Nowadian!

14:13Declan Donnelly:Why is it so popular here? I don't know. I think we just like building things. Because for most of the time, it's dark and cold. So people are indoors, I presume. When it's not the summer, it's very cold here. It's true. We need our indoor activities. So basically, Jenga was created by a British game designer named Leslie Scott. well well done Leslie Scott well done you the second one which sounds British actually because we don't say this but a rubbish bag a rubbish bag no Canadian Canadian well the Canadians did actually invent the rubbish bag I guess maybe to protect from the bear bears because bears can't get through those bags can they what did they tell you on the bear safari Sorry, a little chat to you.

15:05Declan Donnelly:Fun fact, it was invented in Winnipeg. Winnipeg. In 1950, which actually seems kind of late. Yeah, it's quite recent. By Harry, I can't say the same, Wasilik and Larry Hansen. So two people.

15:19Ant McPartlin:It took two people to come up with the idea of the garbage bag.

15:22Declan Donnelly:It took two people to come up with the idea of a bag. Where did you get your bags from, Riley? And they're just so rich now. They have so much money. Well, did they get money off every bag? I honestly don't know any of these, but this is fantastic. Anyways, the dishwasher, washing your dishes.

15:40Ant McPartlin:I think if you invented the rubbish bag, you probably invented the dishwasher.

15:44Declan Donnelly:Yeah. So I'm going to say Canadian. Noadian. You're correct. Yes. Noadian. You can score because I'm doing really well this week. The first time ever. I guess we invented bags, but we didn't involve dishwashers.

16:00Ant McPartlin:That's probably a bit too technologically advanced. We only got electric like two years ago. Is that true? Yeah.

16:05Declan Donnelly:It was invented by an American, Josephine Cochran.

16:09Ant McPartlin:How do you feel about that?

16:12Declan Donnelly:Whatever.

16:14Ant McPartlin:Whatever.

16:16Declan Donnelly:Oh, this is a good one. Okay, the egg carton.

16:19Ant McPartlin:The what? Egg carton?

16:20Declan Donnelly:Yeah, where you put your eggs. I use them every day. Well, come on. Invaluable. Yeah, come on. As soon as you get your eggs, do you take them out of the carton and put them in a similar looking egg receptacle in the fridge? Definitely not. Or do you just leave them in the carton? Leave them in the carton. What do you do with the receptacle that has holes in to fit your eggs in that your fridge comes with? Goes in the cupboard. Okay.

16:41Ant McPartlin:Nobody ever uses that thing, do they, in the fridge? I do. For your eggs? We don't.

16:46Declan Donnelly:Well, other people in my family do, but that's it.

16:49Ant McPartlin:Do you use it?

16:50Declan Donnelly:Yeah. Do you? Yeah. Oh. Of course you do. It looks cool. Of course you do. It looks cool when you fill them up. What do you mean? And I don't like it when you've got like a row of three and you've got one and then two empty spaces. So I'll turn it around and see it. You've got the three at the front.

17:05Ant McPartlin:Wouldn't it be lovely to have all that time? I was probably knocking at the door looking for you to go about. Ed Carton.

17:12Declan Donnelly:Yeah.

17:12Ant McPartlin:No. Wade-ian. Canadian.

17:16Declan Donnelly:He's heard it. Yes! God save. And this one's actually cool because it was invented by a British Columbian in 1911, so before the garbage bag, by Joseph Coyle, reportedly after an argument about eggs arriving broken at his hotel. Who orders eggs to a hotel? That's the bigger question here. You're in a hotel, they'll cook your eggs. You don't need to order them. No, maybe he owned the hotel. Oh, yeah, I didn't think that. I thought he was staying there. But what did he do? You'd order eggs to a hotel. You would. You would. You would order eggs and you'd eat it in reception. Stinky egg lover.

17:55Ant McPartlin:What did he do with the egg cart in after he'd finished with it? Because the rubbish bag wasn't invented for another 49 years. threw it in the woods he just reused it for so many years well done

18:07Declan Donnelly:early example of recycling

18:09Ant McPartlin:I like it

18:10Declan Donnelly:the last one is the Hawaiian pizza the Hawaiian pizza I think

18:17Ant McPartlin:what is so random that it's true yeah I think the Hawaiian pizza was invented in Hawaii oh really don't know

18:27Declan Donnelly:oh really yeah that's what I think I'm saying no Norwegian. Yeah, Norwegian. It's good. It's got to be an American thing. It got you. It's a Canadian thing. It is. It is. Thank you very much. What up, Riley? Thank you. Thanks for playing along. You were playing along at home. And the winner of Canadian or Norwegian is... Ant. Yes. Woo. I don't think I've ever won a quiz on the podcast. So what a great day to win. What a great day to win after my heart is broken.

19:01Ant McPartlin:This podcast is sponsored by Santander, who understand that managing money can be overwhelming and building small everyday habits can make it feel manageable. Do you remember holidays when we were younger? Well, I remember the first holidays we went on as mates. Do you remember those? Our first trip to Gran Canaria? Yes. First lads holiday we ever went on was Gran Canaria. Me and you, I had to go and get a one-year passport. Yeah, do you remember that? Passports. So we went and got a one. Back in the day,

19:32Declan Donnelly:we got a one-year passport.

19:34Ant McPartlin:A one-year passport. Blown your mind. Blown your mind. But then you thought, well, I'll just get a one-year passport. If I go on holiday next year, I'll just get another one-year passport. Quite why we didn't get 10-year passports. Why don't we just get it?

19:45Declan Donnelly:Probably it was more expensive. Probably. I remember your burn feet. There was. We've talked about it on here before.

19:51Ant McPartlin:There was that. That was in Antigua. Yeah.

19:55Declan Donnelly:We had to stay in the room for three days to burn your feet so badly. Yeah, that wasn't. The cream rubbed off. That was a good memory for me. Not so good for you. Not so good for me. Funny for me. Do you know what I do remember, though? The feeling of saving up the money so you could go on the holiday.

20:12Ant McPartlin:Yeah, it makes you feel like an adult. It does. And the fact that you've saved a little bit of money over a long period of time makes it feel really rewarding at the end of it.

27:03Ant McPartlin:that they were all Canadian artists I did notice that I did notice that who sang that one Carly Rae Jepsen that's it one of my favourite songs that just end it there

27:15Declan Donnelly:end it when he says that end it end it when he says that that's that payback for going on the bear hunt without us

27:22Ant McPartlin:one of my favourite songs that we have had lots of grumbles in from you out there our listeners and viewers you've had quite a grumble one big one here today are you um but we've got some brilliant ones we love your grumbles keep them coming into us hanging out of battlebox.com i've got one here says client and deck and the hecklers hi thanks for bringing back the opportunity to moan my moan is twofold okay and pub-based. People queuing in a straight line at the bar. Yeah. Why would you do that? British pubs run on a system of self-awareness and fair play. Yeah, we do. Everyone knows who was there before them and our brilliant bar staff know who to serve next.

28:05Ant McPartlin:There's no need to queue like we're in primary school. I concur with that.

28:09Declan Donnelly:Is this the thing? People are starting to queue like in a line?

28:12Ant McPartlin:Yeah.

28:13Declan Donnelly:Really?

28:13Ant McPartlin:Yeah, people start...

28:14Declan Donnelly:I've noticed that. I don't go to pubs that much anymore but I saw... I wouldn't really... we really know

28:19Ant McPartlin:yeah people start to queue behind you now because back in my day

28:21Declan Donnelly:it was like just yeah you just queue everywhere like you just all vomit the bar vomit the bar and then it's up to the bar member to just realise who was first and then if and then if you go what was you like you go it's not me he's next yeah yeah it's etiquette pub etiquette that is a good grumble

28:36Ant McPartlin:well done Sid in Luton that is a very good grumble his second part of his grumble is people ordering cocktails in pubs oh yeah yeah I'd agree with that did he too long

28:47Declan Donnelly:Go to a cocktail bar. Yes.

28:48Ant McPartlin:I think it should become law that pubs have a small separate section at the bar for people to order time-consuming cocktails.

28:55Declan Donnelly:I agree. I agree. Although I would like to point out that it seems like he just wants to get his drink quickly. So if he'd like to talk to someone... He doesn't want to queue. I'm here.

29:08Declan Donnelly:He doesn't want to queue and he hates waiting for people to get a cocktail made. Yeah. Is that red flags? Yeah. A couple of red flags, everyone. I'll have you at the chat. I'm here, Sid.

29:20Ant McPartlin:Thank you, Sid. That is a very good one. Do you want to do the next one?

29:23Declan Donnelly:I'd love to do the next one. Hi, I'm Decker in Heckless Corner. Hey. One of my biggest grumbles is when people either walk up or down escalators and then when they get near the top or the bottom, they just stop. Why? Just carry on walking because you create traffic behind. Respect, guys. Lots of love. Sophie from Essex. hmm you're not having it I don't know that one because isn't so basically they just stood yes oh no they walk then they stop what's she saying they're walking down or they're walking up and then they stop you have to stop

29:58Ant McPartlin:because it's going to come to an end

30:00Declan Donnelly:yeah what she's saying is you shouldn't break stride you've got to keep going you've just got to keep going I get this

30:06Ant McPartlin:it's quite specific I get this on um flat escalators you know like in the airport yeah I can't bear that what People walk really quickly. Then they get on that escalator and then they really slow down. Stay at the same pace. Keep walking. Don't get on that escalator and stop walking. Keep the pace up. We've all got to be somewhere. You've gotten there to increase your speed, not decrease your speed. Yes. I can't bear dawdlers in airports. Get out of the way. Everybody's got to be somewhere who's at an airport. Don't dawdle and stand in the middle of the airport looking at the departure screen.

30:41Ant McPartlin:Oh, I can't stand that. Get yourself in a little spot where you're not impairing the people who are rushing for a flight or just want to get somewhere quickly.

30:53Declan Donnelly:It's people on their phones, wandering around on their phones, just looking. And they just stop in the middle. And I'll tell you what gets me as well, people with massive backpacks in boots. Specifically. Well, don't be rich. Name yourself an airport shop with small aisles. Yeah. You know, the small version of a high street shop, so let's take boots, for example. It's slightly smaller than what you'd get on the high street. And people have packed enough clothes for a month away or sometimes six months traveling in a backpack and they're walking around. You can't get past them.

31:30Ant McPartlin:Yeah.

31:30Declan Donnelly:And then they'll turn like that and they'll bash into you. Yeah. Can't stand that. No. I can't stand it. You could fit in the backpacks. They're that big. You could? No, I couldn't. You could. Could I? you absolutely could it's a cheaper way to fly you could save money on flights here cheaper way to fly

31:47Ant McPartlin:you're onto something Sophie but I'm not sure about yeah I'm not sure Sophie

31:51Declan Donnelly:will give you that one

31:51Ant McPartlin:hi Aunt Deck in Heckless Corner hey hey Susie in the Harrogate says a minor grumble of mine is people who have phone calls in public and hold the phone at 180 degrees from their mouth on loudspeaker oh yeah yeah how much less effort would be needed just to hold it to your face and ear instead you know the way they designed them to be every time I see someone doing this I want to go over and slowly tip the phone up and around their face in one swift movement. Keep up the great worth. Respect, guys. I couldn't agree more.

32:19Declan Donnelly:You're not a contestant on The Apprentice. Why are you speaking like that? Lord Sugar says the cars will be here in 20 minutes. Yeah, why are you speaking like that? Yeah. I don't get it. Or if you're really bothered about, I don't know, having the phone that close to your head, buy some wired headphones. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you can have that one.

32:36Ant McPartlin:It's either Sid and Luton, who's desperate for a beer. it's desperate Sophie on the escalator or it's Susie with people on loudspeaker

32:46Declan Donnelly:Susie Susie for me

32:47Ant McPartlin:she wins best grumble well done Susie good morning to Susie well done you you are our grumbler of the week

32:54Declan Donnelly:time to throw back to you Kian and Dec you've got something to say oh I love them here they are

33:01Ant McPartlin:this is an advert

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it came on like Spotify, just offers you songs that sound like ones that you've listened to before. And then Wilder started just dancing to it on his own for the first time. And it's really quite cool music. So I'm really thrilled because he's slightly moved away from Pepper now.

47:54Declan Donnelly:Oh, yeah, people used to come to me all the time and wave their hand in front of me, eyes. Can you see me? Are you blind? I think it was hilarious, which I think is... Insensitive. Insensitive to partially sighted and blind people. so the show will be cancelled. That's what I'm saying.
