In short
A “discussion jar” episode mixing conspiracy-debunking talk and everyday pet hates. Main segments include: how to load/unload a dishwasher (especially cutlery placement), Bigfoot evidence and whether it’s been captured by satellites, the Mandela effect (false shared memories), and whether CERN/Hadron Collider could have caused timeline splits. They also discuss cinema etiquette (what foods are too noisy) and the 2012 “end of the world” theory (world ended or shifted timelines), plus a brief Elvis/Michael Jackson alive-or-dead debate.
Guests
No named guests appear; it’s hosted by Tony and Dec (with audience-submitted questions). Mentions: Professor Brian Cox (as a person they claim to have met) and Graham Hancock (as a hypothetical guest they’d like).
Key claims
Dishwasher loading has a “correct” way for efficient future unloading; Mandela effect examples include “I am your father,” Fruit of the Loom cornucopia, and Oliver Twist’s quote; CERN could relate to timeline changes; 2012 may have shifted timelines.
Notable examples
Darth Vader quote (“Luke, I am your father” vs “no, I’m your father”); Fruit of the Loom cornucopia; Oliver Twist “Please, sir, I want some more”; cinema food rules (popcorn okay, crisps/cellophane sweets not).

0:37Ant McPartlin:hello everybody hi everyone good morning good evening welcome back to the hangout for another hanging out with him and me i see you put the discussion jar back in i have yes
0:47Declan Donnelly:it was a hit last time wasn't it we had lots of comments lots of people talking about it they like us talking about conspiracy theories they like our point of view on things do they
0:56Ant McPartlin:or is that just a conspiracy theory?
0:58Declan Donnelly:They do. They do. They actually do. Okay, cool.
1:00Ant McPartlin:You okay, though? Yeah, good. Yeah? I'm excited about this. Good. I enjoyed it last time. I did too. Find out a lot of things I didn't know before. Hollow moons and all that malarkey.
1:10Declan Donnelly:So let's see if we can debunk a few more conspiracy theories or myths here and now. Shall I dive on in? I think why wait around. Why waffle? You can wait on Thursday for waffle. This is good quality discussion jar content. And this is, I'm going to go first. So I've got the job. The first topic, the first subject, the first thing to talk about is... It's a question. What's the question? Sent in by one of you lot. And the question is, does it matter how you stack a dishwasher? Shall I go first? If you like. It doesn't matter.
1:49Ant McPartlin:It does matter. It doesn't matter. Of course it matters. Why? Because the dishwashers have been designed to be stacked a certain way. You can't just open the dishwasher, throw it in, and then close the dishwasher again. Why? Especially cutlery.
2:02Declan Donnelly:Yeah, but there's normally like a thing at the top for your cutlery. There's a little container-y bit at the bottom with the handle. Not keen on that. Or the top jaw, the flat jaw. Yeah. Which is the one that I get most upset about. So if I was round your house and I went out clean up deck and I got the cutlery. First of all, I'd go, no, no, no, no, that's fine.
2:24Ant McPartlin:I'll do it. Yeah. And then you go, no, I'll do it. I go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'll really do it.
2:28Declan Donnelly:But I insist on doing it. Yeah. I open the top slidey cutlery drawer bit in your dishwasher and I throw it all in the middle and shut the top.
2:36Ant McPartlin:No. What happens? Even if you are being really organised and you put the knife and fork next to each other, I wouldn't do that. It's still wrong. What? How's that wrong? It's wrong. How? What's right then? You pull it out, all the knives go there, all the forks go there and the spoons go at that end. pull the thing out, you go, knife, fork in the middle, spoon over there. So when the next person comes along, you go, knife, fork, spoon. Because when you're putting the things back, when the dishwasher's done and you put them back in the drawer, you can just collect all the knives, all the forks, all the spoons, bang, bang, bang.
3:08Ant McPartlin:Quickly done.
3:09Declan Donnelly:Did you just do that on a podcast? Oh my God, somebody make that a meme. Please. And then we just keep seeing it and then he'll be embarrassed and realise he shouldn't have done it.
3:19Ant McPartlin:No, because it'll take me back to this moment where I was going, I was teaching the nation how to load and unload the dishwasher.
3:24Declan Donnelly:You see, my wife's exactly the same as you. Yeah. I knew she should have married you instead of me. She is very anal when it comes to the dishwasher and likes the knives next to each other, the forks next to each other, the spoons next to each other.
3:38Ant McPartlin:Not anal.
3:39Declan Donnelly:For that very reason. What is it then? Just organise. Just correct. Just correct. It's just how you should live. I, on the other hand, don't think there's a correct way to stack a dishwasher. and you just whack it all in and put your little capsule in. No. Shut the door, turn it on. Bang. Sit down. Hang on, you need to rephrase that.
3:59Ant McPartlin:What? You said, I don't think there's a correct way to load a dishwasher. You know there is a correct way to load a dishwasher. You just don't care that there is a correct way.
4:09Declan Donnelly:All right. Is that not? I don't care. Get on with more important things that make you happy. Yeah. The amount of time. Yeah, let's go and eat chocolate. Yeah. Let's go play outside. Yeah.
4:20Ant McPartlin:Meanwhile, people like me keep this world turning. What? Because you stuck the dishwasher, right? Yes. Wow. The amount of times I open the dishwasher at my house... How pompous! How pompous! The amount of times I open the dishwasher at my house, pull out the drawers and go, this drives me mad! And I say that to myself. You silly goose!
4:44Declan Donnelly:Which silly goose did this? I'd literally do that.
4:47Ant McPartlin:I'd pull out and go, drives me mad!
4:49Declan Donnelly:loud enough for the rest of the household to hear
4:51Ant McPartlin:yeah passive aggressive passive aggressive yeah of course all the small plates need to be stacked together the big plates stacked together bowls need to be you know cereal bowls need to be all together come on guys you know that it's the right thing you're thinking of future you exactly I'm doing my future self-favorite yeah you are thinking of future you
5:08Declan Donnelly:yeah you're right do you ever do that? I don't think of future me do you? oh I do all the time I'm thinking of me right here right now having fun woo woo woo
5:20Ant McPartlin:do you ever do that thing where you're out and about like and you go oh I've got a runny nose and you put your hand you put it and go well done past me I've got a hanky do you ever do that never do you not ever ever oh I do it all the time we agree to disagree we're not debunking that one
5:35Declan Donnelly:we're not debunking that one we agree to disagree
5:37Ant McPartlin:even though you agree that I am right I never agree that okay baby why don't you put them back in the thing
5:43Declan Donnelly:and just leave them loose because this is wasted time But don't put them in the sleeve every time. It slows things down. I could be doing this. I could be doing this.
5:55Ant McPartlin:And just then I went, oh, past me. You should have let them out. Abi asks. Hi, Abi. Hi, Tony and Dec. Oh, shut up, Abi. What's your opinion on Bigfoot? Last year, my hyperfixation was watching Bigfoot evidence videos and listening to Bigfoot podcasts. Everyone's got a podcast now, even Bigfoot. They're all jumping on board. We thought we were the last, but Bigfoot's doing that. If you really look into it, it's so interesting. I 100 % believe the Bigfoot species is living in the mountains of North America. I have to say, I don't think I have seen enough. Don't put them back in there. What? Don't put them back in there.
6:37Ant McPartlin:Put them loose on the side. What are my glasses? Could you lead them again for the next one? Don't put the glasses in the sleeve. No. Okay. I haven't encountered enough Bigfoot evidence. or Bigfoot
6:46Declan Donnelly:or definitely have the Bigfoot that would be the best evidence seeing him no I agree I haven't been down this wormhole I would like to spend a bit more time down this rabbit hole wormhole
6:59Ant McPartlin:because I would I'd love to know the evidence because my immediate thought my instinct just off the top of my head makes me think that if there was such thing as a Bigfoot surely like satellites would have captured him by now like seen him right yeah and is it a species of Bigfoot so more than one I presume she's seeing.
7:16Declan Donnelly:Well, I presume so. I mean, I've seen those images on the internet where you see like the big footprint and it's like that big. That's a hoax, isn't it? I don't know. And there's always a picture, there's always that one picture of him walking like that through the woods. And that's always in books and stuff. And there's a little bit of grainy footage as well, I think. But a lot of those have been debunked. But I don't necessarily, I think it's got to stem from something. There's got to be some kind of myth or legend or a site in where people have talked about Bigfoot giants, whatever it is, in North America, in like the Appalachian Mountains or something, which are very spooky.
7:53Declan Donnelly:That's another one we should cover. The Appalachian Mountains, like spooky stuff happens there. Have you heard? Yeah. Oh my God, like really scary stuff. There's like rules. If you're walking through the Appalachian Mountains, someone calls your name, don't turn around. If you hear people talking. I smash your face in.
8:08Ant McPartlin:Call my name in the Appalachian Mountains. Not call your name. Not call you a name.
8:11Declan Donnelly:I'll call your name. Take it short. They wouldn't do that. They'd just say deck. But so there's something in that. So maybe the whole Bigfoot thing is connected to that. So I think there's something in it. I'd like to know more. We should revisit this. We should do like a myths, legends special where we get more information and we look at images and then we can say we agree or disagree.
8:34Ant McPartlin:Do you think this is a safe space for experts? This? Could we bring experts into the discussion jar? Yes. Okay.
8:41Declan Donnelly:Why wouldn't it be a safe space?
Read the full transcript
8:42Ant McPartlin:I don't know.
8:43Declan Donnelly:You've got to attack them. I don't agree with you. That's not your visit. Yeah, we should. We should think about that. We should bring some people in. Do you know who I'd love on this podcast? Your mate. Graham Hancock. Yes. Oh, my God. I love that man. His theory is that there is an ancient civilization that happened before the great floods that is written about in most religions on Earth. There's always a flood story in there. He reckons prior to the flood, there was an ancient civilization which built the pyramids, which kept knowledge that they passed down after the flood and after the Great Ice Age and that we still carry today.
9:27Declan Donnelly:But if it wasn't for them...
9:28Ant McPartlin:And they were much, much cleverer than we.
9:30Declan Donnelly:Much cleverer than us. And there's certain buildings that they built that we couldn't even still build today. There's like this stonework in Peru.
9:38Ant McPartlin:Let's not get started on the heaters and coils underneath the pyramid. No, no, let's not get started on that, but we should get started on that somewhere along the line. It's mind-blowing.
9:48Declan Donnelly:It's crazy times. You see, we've only had two bits of paper. What interesting chat. This is much better than the waffle on the big chat, isn't it?
9:57Ant McPartlin:We've had dishwasher and pyramids so far.
10:00Declan Donnelly:And Bigfoot. Right, I'm going next. We're not really getting to the bottom of much of your theories, but we still like talking about them. We need experts. Helen in Vancouver Island is writing with a pet hate. I didn't know this was just what the discussion job was. It's all up for discussion. Anything at all. Anything at all we put in there. Her pet hate, Helen's pet hate is people who say, look and listen to start making a point. I hate that. I'm already listening. I don't need to listen. It's just aggravating to hear that at the start of a sentence.
10:33Ant McPartlin:Helen, I am absolutely 100 % with you. Listen, it is the worst thing. Hello, look here. I disagree. It's true. I find it really condescending and quite patronizing. Do you? Yeah. Like we've got, listen.
10:49Declan Donnelly:Yeah, yeah, like that. The way you've just done it then.
10:51Ant McPartlin:Was that quite condescending? Yeah, really. I think that's how I do it normally. I used to listen to a podcast and I had to stop listening to it because one of the presenters kept going, listen. Never? Yeah. It wound you up? It wound me up so much, I stopped listening to the podcast. One of the podcasters go, listen. I'm already listening. You're already in my ears. Don't need to tell me to listen.
11:12Declan Donnelly:She goes out to say, people who say, with all due respect, I always hear, i.e. none, when someone says that, because they really don't mean to give you any respect. They should just use respect guys instead. Way more respect given. Yeah, I agree. Helen. With all due respect. You know there's going to be some kind of put down on the back of that, don't you?
11:33Ant McPartlin:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:34Declan Donnelly:With all due respect, but you're wrong. With all due respect, just shut up. Please don't start with, listen. Look. Let's get these up. There you go. They were loosely on the desk. Well done.
11:45Ant McPartlin:Ian asks, what's your thoughts on whether Elvis or Michael Jackson are alive or dead? Discuss. Thanks, Ian. Thanks, Ian. Very interesting one. Do you think Elvis is alive? Probably, yeah. Probably. It's a yes or no discussion job. Yeah, I do. I do think that. I do think he is. You do. I've always used to be... And Michael Jackson? Not sure about Michael Jackson, but I've always thought the Elvis thing, there was something in it.
12:08Declan Donnelly:I did. There's too many people saying it. And also the fact that his manager at the time, Colonel Parker, is it? Colonel Tom, yeah. Colonel Tom Parker. He was so controlling and wouldn't let him travel outside of the US. If you watch the Elvis movie, it's really sad, isn't it? You know, when he was addicted to drugs near the end and he was playing Vegas and he was just kind of on that quite sad loop at the end of his life when he could have travelled and seen the world. but apparently his contract was so tight that he was so controlled he wouldn't let him do a lot of it. So I suppose that's one way to get out.
12:40Declan Donnelly:Break your contract. Get out, break your contract is just fake your own death. You know, we should start though. We should start a room about where like not the real Ant-N-Dag. That we've been replaced. Yeah. By two actors. Like the Paul McCartney one. Yeah. Yeah, we should. So we got up to Alien Autopsy.
12:55Ant McPartlin:We did that movie. And then the American military. Yeah, got rid of us. Got rid of us because we'd done the autopsy movie.
13:02Declan Donnelly:And we were never allowed to be in another movie again. We just never were in another movie.
13:08Ant McPartlin:That was nothing to do with the American military. But maybe the American military got rid of us because of alien autopsy. But we were replaced.
13:20Declan Donnelly:Let's just see if this comes back round. So I'll just come out and say it, right? At and Deck now aren't the real At and Deck. At and Deck, right, were At and Deck. and they met and they're on Becker Grove and then they done Saturday mornings then they started SMTV Live and it was about the time just after Alien Autopsy where they were replaced by two people who look like them.
13:45Ant McPartlin:I'm actually an actor from Maidstone in Kent.
13:47Declan Donnelly:Yeah. And I'm actually a girl from Derry in Ireland. Right, let's just see how long that takes to come back, yeah? Pop it in the jar for a few weeks time. Okay. Show me another one. Let's have another one. This is from Bob. Hello, Bob. Bob asks, what's your thoughts on the Mandela effect? Now, do you know, I was telling you about this, wasn't I? Yes, I know about this. So if you don't know what the Mandela effect is, the Mandela effect is a phenomenon where a large group of people have a collective shared but false memory of an event or a detail or a cultural icon or something.
14:20Ant McPartlin:This is definitely a thing.
14:22Declan Donnelly:Coined by Fiona Broome. Yeah, it is a thing. In 2009, it stems from the widespread incorrect belief that Nelson Mandela died in prison during the 1980s, which of course he didn't. It highlights how memory can be inaccurate and suggestible.
14:35Ant McPartlin:Yes.
14:36Declan Donnelly:I'm going to give you a good example of this, because I've been down this rabbit hole. Go on. In Star Wars, when Darth Vader, I know you've only watched the first one.
14:45Ant McPartlin:Yeah, but I know a lot of the big moments. So, Darth Vader says to Luke Skywalker, he says...
14:55Declan Donnelly:Yeah. Good so far? Yeah, very good. He says... Luke, I am your father. is what we all remember it as. Yeah, that's what he says. I've seen it. I've seen the clip. He actually says, no, I'm your father. Oh. So, but we all think that he said that. Look, I'm your father. Did he go, look, I'm your father. Oh yeah, maybe it was that.
15:20Ant McPartlin:Maybe it was that. I didn't need passive aggression.
15:21Declan Donnelly:Listen, look, listen. But that's a shared memory that we all have of something that was said in a certain way. But actually, it's untrue. When we were growing up, remember, and I've seen this one a lot do you remember Fruit of the Loom t-shirts? Yeah, the fruit. What book? Their fruit?
15:36Ant McPartlin:The fruit and a basket
15:37Declan Donnelly:like a basket behind it. Yeah, cornucopia is what they're called. Okay. There's no cornucopia. Shut up. It's just fruit. Shut your face. Seriously? Yeah. No. Well, I remember it coming out of a basket. Yeah. But apparently it's just the fruit Fruit of the Loom. How did we all think? Crazy. That's the Mandela effect.
15:58Ant McPartlin:I've got one for you. Go on. Oliver Twist. Yes. He's just finished his lunch. Yep. And he goes up to the man for seconds and he says, Please, sir, can I have some more? He doesn't. What does he say? He says, Please, sir, I want some more. What? He doesn't ask, Can I have some more? He says, I want some more. Oh, my God.
16:18Declan Donnelly:So, anyway, so basically what this is, right, is the theory is we're living in a separate timeline. Oh, is that what the theory is? Something. This is my theory. No, no, no. The theory online is we've split it off into a separate timeline. What made a splinter off into that timeline? I'll tell you when. When CERN happened.
16:42Ant McPartlin:Oh, the Hadron Collider.
16:44Declan Donnelly:Yeah, the Hadron Collider in Switzerland. When they split the atom. Think about it. And get back to me because I like them on one of the deals. Think about it and tell me more because I need to know, like an expert when I'm talking about it. Do you remember we met Brian Cox, Professor Brian Cox at a TV award show and I ran over to him and I said, oh my God, I love you, I love what you do and I love you guys. There's a bit of a loving, you know, it was a lovey loving. That's why they call them loveys. Showbiz loving and we were talking to him and he said, do you remember, he would take us to CERN to the Hadron, to the Large Hadron Collider.
17:23Declan Donnelly:Did he say that? Yeah. I said, I'll hold you to that. He went, please do. I'll take you I'll show you around why don't we do that so take us Professor Brian Cox if he can get access maybe he couldn't get access maybe his credentials didn't they weren't up to scratch maybe his passes run out yeah his passes run out bloop bloop oh my god sorry guys I'm a fight I'm fighting on the deck and this is it's embarrassing now boop
17:52Ant McPartlin:as your pass run out listen my pass never run out This is my pass.
17:57Declan Donnelly:I'm Professor Brian Cox. Maybe he's the one I should have beef with. Hey! Brian! Coxie! Take us to CERN, man, like you promised. That's just as much as I can do. He doesn't deserve any more. He might come through with it. I don't know. I see. Look forward to that. I wonder if there's Mandela effects about us two. About our career, or? Yeah, like what people remember us two,
18:21Ant McPartlin:but it actually didn't happen, and we could clear it all. Tell you what might be a Mandela effect for us. People stop me sometimes and say, I've been watching you since Grinch Hill
18:28Declan Donnelly:oh yeah that's just people being misinformed is it they just remember a show being on a 10 plus 5 and one was Grinch Hill one was Viagraff yeah they just got it on
18:37Ant McPartlin:yeah let's know if there are any good Mandela effects that you know have encountered or if you've heard any about us that would be quite interesting here's one from Anonymous is popcorn and other noisy food appropriate for the cinema ah talking point discuss
18:54Declan Donnelly:discuss popcorn's alright That's not too noisy. Popcorn's all right. Just a little rustle one you put your fingers in. Yeah. What would be noisy? Crisps. Bags of crisps. That's too noisy. Do you know what is not allowed? Here we go. Come on, man.
19:06Ant McPartlin:Boiled sweets. Why? Unwrapping boiled sweets in cellophane. Oh, okay. Like chocolate limes. I thought you meant to be... No. Chocolate limes in cellophane. Chocolate limes? Well, who's even eaten chocolate limes? Oh, I love a chocolate limes. Damn you!
19:22Declan Donnelly:You're such a strange boy. You really are, man.
19:26Ant McPartlin:I love a chocolate lime. A chocolate lime. You got a nice bit of citrus and then a crunch. Oh, chocolate in the middle. What a treat.
19:34Declan Donnelly:Popcorn is popcorn. It is what it is. If you're going to go to the cinema, deal with it. Do you know what I mean? You can't get annoyed about that.
19:41Ant McPartlin:You can't. Popcorn's all right. There are other things. Yeah, you can't take a bag of crisps. A big bag of crisps. Yeah.
19:46Declan Donnelly:You know, like a big bag of kettle crisps. Yeah. Which are horrible crisps to eat anyway at the best of times. Do you not like a kettle chip? Well, they're too hard for me. Gnashers are they yeah I've got crowns no one wants that
20:01Ant McPartlin:do you have a twiglet not that bothered about a twiglet yeah they love them when you hate them
20:08Declan Donnelly:I'm going to take them
20:09Ant McPartlin:and leave them
20:10Declan Donnelly:probably I always think I like them and I go oh twiglets I go no no and then I wait a couple of seconds like a goldfish and go maybe the second one is going no no but I always buy them on Christmas Yeah. You know, the little cylinders of twiglets and mini cheddars. Put them in a bowl. Put them in a bowl. Never get eaten. Never get eaten. Well, they do by me every seven seconds. Maybe this one. No. No. Do you like the cinema? I do like going as long as everybody else is quiet. They should do. You know, on Saturday mornings they do like toddler specials where you can go with your toddler. It's true.
20:48Declan Donnelly:You can go with like babies and it's not as loud as it normally so you don't scare them, but you expect noise. you know there's going to be tears there's going to be crying there's going to be crying but that's it you're out and it's something to do with the kids but there should be silent nights like the silent carriage
21:03Ant McPartlin:on the train yeah
21:04Declan Donnelly:if you're going to go to that show you're not allowed to
21:07Ant McPartlin:food that's it you're not allowed to cough I agree yeah
21:09Declan Donnelly:no no food no nothing
21:11Ant McPartlin:if you've got a slight cough stay at home get out
21:13Declan Donnelly:because there's like a rule three coughs that's it you're out imagine that third cough you're like
21:23Declan Donnelly:get out Then he goes, fair game, fair game.
21:28Ant McPartlin:I can't go and go.
21:29Declan Donnelly:You know, I know the rules. I've got a theory. Well, this is my thought on the cinema. Because I love going to the cinema. Thanks for asking. I love it. I love going to the cinema. I like the, it's a night out at the movies. I really like it. I like it to be quiet. I don't like it to be too noisy. But less and less people are going because I think more people are getting used to second screen and everything. So even now, people are used to watching a movie sat at home, and most movies come out really quickly on streamers or whatever. And they're used to just getting a bit distracted and going on your phone.
22:02Declan Donnelly:Now, doing that in the cinema, it's frowned upon. So people would rather wait a couple of days or a week and then watch it at home. That's why ticket sales are dwindling.
22:12Ant McPartlin:I went to the cinema a couple of weeks ago, took the kids, sat in the afternoon, me, the current Mrs. Donnelly, and the two kids. Went to see The Goat. I had a little sleep. and Mrs. Donnelly bought a trestle table online.
22:24Declan Donnelly:No, she didn't. She did. So you're allowed in that one to second screen because you anticipate it's going to be loud because the kids are here.
22:30Ant McPartlin:We were sat in the back row so there's nobody behind us. So I had a little sleep. The kids were watching the film and she got her phone out and bought a trestle table while I was having a sleep and went, I woke up, she went, I've bought a trestle table. You have to go and pick it up from Argos after the film. That was quick. It was really quick. it was ready in August. You should have said.
22:51Declan Donnelly:I've got a spare one. I'm literally going to get rid of. I don't know. If I'd known that. You could have had mine. One last one.
22:57Ant McPartlin:Come on, it's you. Is it me? One last one. Let's get this one. Oh, God. Who keeps doing that? That's it. Whee! Every time you do that, that's what I'm doing. Okay, last one for today then. The 2012 end of the world actually happened theory. Remember the Mayan calendar scare in 2012? I do. This theory suggests the world did end or at least we shifted into a different timeline. Since 2012, many people feel time has sped up and things have generally become more surreal or glitchy. Is the world over? No. Okay, join us next week.
23:33Declan Donnelly:But there's something to do with the Mayan calendar, that they didn't necessarily follow the same calendar as we do. Yeah. So are we even at where they think was the end of the world? or is it just the end of a certain cycle and then a new cycle starts again? Because that opened, if talking about calendars, you can talk about it for ages because actually, apparently there should be 13 months in the year rather than 12 months of the year because there is 13 constellations that we can see. There is, well, there's 12 apostles, but there should be 13 if you count Mary Magdalene. Like there's been slight altering of history to get rid of 13 and see 13 as unlucky when actually 13 is all around us and we should embrace it more rather than seeing it as unlucky.
24:23Declan Donnelly:But somebody somewhere, I don't know, the Illuminati probably, tries to suppress the word 13. Here we go. Tries to suppress the number 13
24:34Ant McPartlin:for underhand reasons. Because you see it nowadays, don't you, that like, it doesn't really snow in winter anymore, does it? No. But sometimes it snows. You're more likely to get snow in March or April than you are at Christmas. I heard that. Yeah. So, are we just out of whack a bit with the weather system? Yeah. Yeah, I think we probably are. It doesn't quite make sense, does it?
24:55Declan Donnelly:Yeah. And it doesn't make sense that some months are shorter than other months. We should have the exact same days in each month for 13 months, rather than some short months and some longer months. Just have another month. Yeah. Just put another month on. Let's just do that.
25:13Ant McPartlin:13 months. Should we just do it? Where would you put it? In the middle of the year or at the end of the year?
25:16Declan Donnelly:Oh, in the middle of the year. You want more sun, don't you? More summer.
25:19Ant McPartlin:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't you think? I think that's what we've got time for. Oh my God, there's still stuff in the discussion jar to discuss. Got any other topics you want us to put in the discussion jar? Oh, talking points? Anything? Anything you want? Thoughts on? And any of your viewpoints as well. Get them into us. Hang out at beltabox.com. We'll stick them in the discussion jar and we'll come back to this in a few weeks.
25:38Declan Donnelly:Yeah. Anyway, thanks for watching. See you next time. See you on Thursday
25:42Ant McPartlin:for the men pod. Respect guys. Respect guys. See you later. Bye. And now I need them in and they're not in.
25:47Declan Donnelly:Oh, you're all out of whack. Come on, just do this instead. Do it once. Do it once. Do it once. Do it once. Wee. I don't like that. Goodbye. Bye.
