0:39Hello everybody, welcome once again to Hanging Out with me and him, this is The Hangout. Right, is it fun? Let's do it.
0:48Ant McPartlin:Lovely to be with you again here in The Hangout. We've got a voice note episode. For this episode, the banana phone is back. Must be voice notes. How have you been, you been alright? Cool, man. Before we get into it. I'm cool. How are you? I'm good. I had a little bit of a fright the other day. Well, I gave somebody a fright. Did you? Took your clothes off? Actually, you're not far off. Really? Mm-hmm. I was in the changing rooms. I was out shopping for a couple of little summer T-shirts. That makes me think that it's like a crop top. Why would you think that? That's your mind. A couple of little summer T-shirts on this little thing.
1:29Ant McPartlin:I was in Marks & Spencer's. Uh-huh. This is not a sponsored bid, but Marks & Spencer's are absolutely killing it at the moment. Oh, they are. On menswear. Oh, they're killing it. Oh, they are. They've got the old buyer from Topshop. Is that what it is? Is that what it is? Yeah, they're very cool now. The Marks & Spencer's fashions are spot on this summer. Okay, now it does sound like an ad. Well, anyway. I should be getting free stuff. Basically, I was in Marks the other day. I was in the changing room trying them on. and I heard the guy in the next cubicle and he was kind of grunting and he was talking to himself 36 long and then he's like it wasn't you, 36 long it wasn't me and then you get another one 36 regular and so anyway I'd finished trying on my little crop tops and I was out I was out and you know when you put some stuff back on the reel that you're not going to buy so I was putting stuff on the rail anyway.
2:24Ant McPartlin:Curtain goes from behind me. Excuse me, mate. Can I have these in a 38 long? And I turned around and he went, oh my God! Sorry, I thought you worked here. Oh, no, I don't work here. He went, I know you don't work here. But yeah, he got a bit of a fright. But you were fully clothed at that point? I was fully clothed. I was fully clothed. So I left the crop tops that I wasn't buying and I took the crop tops that I did buy. But yeah, so I gave him a little fright. What did you try your T-shirts on with? What do you mean? What did you have on your bottom off? Oh, what did I have on my bottom? Shorts.
2:58Ant McPartlin:Crop top and shorts. Wow. And you know I don't traditionally wear shorts, do I? You don't. Not on the telly anyway. Never seen, never got his legs out on telly. I have. I have. Ever. I have. This is a myth. Yeah, a little pair of shorts. Well, I can't. Not that they were little. The shorts were little. Surely shorts are lower than you. They're like normal trousers. I can't join in. Why? Because I haven't been shopping for so long. I'm so bored right now. This is so hard, guys. It's so bloody hard. So when you go on your summer holidays, are you just wearing like last season's summer clothes? Yeah, but who cares about that?
3:41Ant McPartlin:Do you know what I mean though? Who cares? It's a short sleeve shirt or shorts. Isn't there something lovely about going on holiday and going, oh, I can't wait to wear that new thing. Crisp. Crisp in the air. Crisps. Can't wait to wear these crisps. Well, no, we're very lucky because we do I'm a Celebrity in the sunshine and we did I'm a Celebrity South Africa in the sunshine. So all of the short-sleeved shirts that we had on that, we get given at the end of it. So it always feels like I've been shopping anyway. That's true. So I don't need extra. That's true. You see? Short-sleeved shirts. That's a good tongue twister, That's a good tongue twister, yeah.
4:20Ant McPartlin:Has anybody got any good tongue twisters? I've actually got loads. Ah, yeah. Do the space one. There's a chip shop in space that sells spaceship shaped chips. There's a chip shop in space that sells chip shop, chips, chips. Again? I can't do it with him doing it. There's a chip shop in space that sells space radars. Space what? Space ship, shipped chips. Space ship, ship, Do it together. There's a chip shop in space. I've got to begin a bit wrong now. there's a chip shop in space that spells space chips chips chips hello who's on the phone now let's get some voice notes shoot you some voicemails come on let's get on with it let's get some voice notes I look forward to this episode a lot because A.

All the trendy people ride them in like Shoreditch in London.
5:39Oh, do they? Yeah. It's like fixed, there's no gears, so everything's just, it's a bit like bikes as kids.
5:45Ant McPartlin:No gears. Oh, okay. Yes, we did learn to ride bikes as kids. Yes, we did. I had a BMX with yellow mag wheels. Yeah, wow. BMX is still a thing with you trendy kids? Did you go to the ramps on your BMX? Nah, just down the hills. There's no ramps. I built a ramp. I built a ramp on the back street with a few bricks and a bit of wood. Did it work though? Yeah, it worked, yeah. Oh, it did? Yeah. Didn't fall off into yourself? Not then. That was until later. No, that was a motorbike. Oh, yeah. Do you still ride a bike nowadays? I ride a motorbike. do you guys ride your bikes together still now no we didn't ride bikes on Biker Grove Biker Grove had nothing to do with bikes yeah we swim together riding our bikes together two in front Biker Grove I have a bike I've got a bike but I don't really use it very much no I don't when was the last time you sat on a bike seen on a bike seen on a bike or on a bike you had a bike under you we had a bike under us when was the last time when was the last time we had a bike under you last time I had a bike under me was on holiday I think yeah probably when I was it was one of those resorts where to get round the resort you have to have a bike that was good very trendy have I ever been on a line bike?
7:00I was going to ask you have I ever been on a line bike? yeah have you? yeah what do you mean why are you so shocked at that? of course I've been on a line bike there was a period where people where I used to live used to leave their line bikes outside my house just outside the gates I got so angry and one day I kicked them all down. Oh, God. But I was told I had anger issues by the kids. I don't have anger issues. I was just angry at the people who kept leaving. There's like four of them. And then every day I'd go out, it's as if they knew it was winding me up and there would be one parked outside my house every day.
7:32So I was like, what's the problem with this? And kicked it over. We'll have to bleep that. Yeah. But that's not anger issues. Is it not? I was just angry. That's not anger. Anger issues, you're angry at everything. Yes.
7:45Ant McPartlin:Is that why you moved out of London? yeah I had to move out of London because people were parking bikes in front of my house there's a big story now in the Daily Mail and I'm here for it I'm Fury at line bikes have you been a line bike? I don't know if I have we should do it as part of the highly experience is it? it is fun yeah but I've got my own bike I'll just go on that you go faster than a line bike because they're electric I'm not bothered about that I go fast you're not bothered about going fast?

Because we might cut your bit out in the kitchen.
8:51What do you call it? A backy. A backy. That's what you put in your cigarette paper, isn't it? Yeah, that's that. In Newcastle, you call it a backer. Because it's a backer. That was, I think we gave a really fully rounded answer there. Yes, Jonathan, thank you for that question.
9:06Ant McPartlin:It was very good. Love to your moustache. Right. Next voice note. Hey, Lizzie here, originally from Whitley Bay. and now living in Auckland, New Zealand. As you can hear, lads, I have lost my voice. It's been rather challenging at work this week. Why are you doing this then? My question to you is, have either of you ever lost your voice before a big event? What was it? When was it? And how did you get around it? Love the pod. And yeah, take care to all the team. Bye. Thanks, Lizzie. She sounds lovely. She sounds lovely. I'll answer the last bit first. The best way to go around it and fix it is by not speaking.
9:45So she's ruined that.
9:47Ant McPartlin:When we do Britain's Got Talent and all the singers are on there and they can't, because they've done so much rehearsal and so much practicing that when they're down on set and we're rehearsing with them, they're not allowed to talk. No. And there were a little sign around their neck with a sign and it just says, don't talk to me, I'm on voice rest. So... It's true. And we go, how are you? How's rehearsal been going? And they just go... Yeah. Point of the sign. I lost my voice. badly on the last series on Celebrity. Yeah, you did. On the last series in Australia, didn't I? You did, didn't you?
10:19I had to take steroids and everything to try and
10:22Ant McPartlin:eat. Yeah, go ride it up. Just wanted to bulk up. To try and make it better, but it took, it took a while. Yeah, it did. It really, the rest of me felt fine. I didn't feel like I had a cold or anything, but just my voice was just gone. So it wasn't a cold or a clue? Just the voice went? Yeah, my voice just went. Isn't that funny? But, just got on with it. I usually lose mine. The show must go on. And it did. I usually lose mine when we be doing a lot of talking. So after a series of something. Right. And we get to the end of the series and then you, you know, when your body knows that you're going to have a little bit of a break and you normally get ill.
10:56Ant McPartlin:Yeah. That's when I normally lose my voice. So I don't lose it before the show. I always lose it after the show. Do you ever lose it after we do a podcast? Because this is where you would do your most talking. Yeah. No. No. I don't talk that much, really. on the podcast you do and you talk over me a lot I don't think I do do I do I talk over me yeah I can't remember the last what well three talks about yeah you do talk over me I don't remember the last time yeah yeah no you do get well soon Lizzie thank you Lizzie and lots of love down under for sure lots of love to New Zealand lots of love down under right next message please hi Ant and Dick it's Sally Ann here I first came to see you in 1995 at Upsich Region your support act was the Backstreet Boys how did this come about?
11:57lovely and short thank you Sally lovely short question there thank you Sally Ann that does surprise people that our warm up act or support act on our tour was the Backstreet Boys but she's absolutely correct it was and they i don't know how it came about i think the record company you know asked for them to go on our bill and i think they pay you to get on the i'm sure they did didn't they paid us to get on the tour so we put that money towards you know putting the tour on and um and on crisps and snacks yeah on our rider and um we couldn't quite believed them when we first saw them. We thought we would watch the Backstreet Boys from the side of stage before we went on and we were like, what is this?
12:44This is never going to work.
12:45Ant McPartlin:This is so cheesy. Well, it's because they were a five-piece American boy band and they would do this bit in the show where they've got a fan out of the audience and they bring her up onto the stage and then a little table comes out with a red and white Czech tablecloth and a rose and she sits there and they all gather around her and they all sing to her and we used to stand in the wings We're like, oh my God, this is cheese on toast. We're like, this is never going to work. These girls are going to see through these guys. This is so bad. Cut to 100 million album sales later and they were the biggest band in the world and PJ Dungam were no more.
13:19So what do we know?
13:20Ant McPartlin:Well, yeah, they were lovely lads. They came on tour with us. We used to sit in catering before the show. We did. And have... Cheese on toast. I remember one day we had a... Do you remember we had a roast dinner? with them. It must have been a Sunday we were doing a show and we had roasts and they were like, what is this? And the Yorkshire pudding and we had all the condiments out and they were going, what sauce do you put on a roast dinner? What is it? And they picked up a bottle of HB sauce and they go, this one? I went, yeah, yeah, yeah. Put that all over it. Oh my God, we were mean girls. We were mean girls.
13:56Ant McPartlin:We were, we were the mean girls. They loved it. Did they? They absolutely loved it. It was the tall one. Who's the tall one, the really tall one? Well, at the time, we used to just call them all Billy Backstreet. Because it was saves learning their names, and they were like kind of cool with it. Kevin? Was the tall one Kevin? Kevin. Kevin. Billy Backstreet. Six foot one. I remember playing Wolverhampton Civic Hall, and they came just beforehand. Hey, guys, how do you pronounce this place? Is it Wolverhampton? Yes, that's exactly how you pronounce it. We were mean girls. I'll say it again. We were mean girls.
14:32Ant McPartlin:Is it W or is it a V? It's a V. It's a V. Wolverhampton. Yeah, it's like how the Germans pronounce it. That's right. The Germans pronounce the W as a V. God, we were horrible. Mean girls. We were mean girls. But they were lovely lads. Yeah, you keep saying that. You keep trying to end it there and then you keep remembering things when you were mean to them. They've had a lot of success since and I'm dead happy for them. Come on. Hi, Ant and Dec. I'm Florian and listening from Austria. As you're always raving about your butcher's sausages, I wanted to know if you have ever tried Austrian sausages like Sacherwurstel.
15:17Sorry, say that again? Just repeat the last bit. Austrian sausages like Sacherwurstel. Slaffelblasel. Have you ever tried a Slaffelblasel? I don't think I've had a Slaffelblasel. I've never had an Austrian sausage. No, I haven't had an Austrian sausage. Florian, this is a great idea. I've had Frankfurters from Germany, Bratwurst, I've had all that kind of German sausage. I haven't had an Austrian sausage. But I don't think, I've had an Austrian sausage. What's an Austrian sausage? Austrian sausage. Austrian sausage.
15:49Ant McPartlin:Where do you buy such a thing? Where do you get your hands on an Austrian sausage in London? Depends on what bar you go to. Austria, yeah. Who's on line three? Alright lads, it's Loris here from Sunderland First off, why is Sunderland not pinned on your map yet? Can we sort that out ASAP please? I think we deserve it after doing the double on you this season Oh shut up Anyway, I just wanted to touch on retro crisps Specifically, Munster Munch So basically, Ant said that the way he likes to eat those crisps Is to bite off each of the toes and then eat the circle That's right, pet Well apparently, those aren't toes if you were to stand that crisp up in front of you right now on your table and have a look at it there are legs two arms on the sides and the circle is kind of like the head body and so i just want to know what you guys think do you think it's a foot or do you think it's a full-on monster with arms and legs anyway i would love to have you over for a sleep over at mine however i don't have an ensuite my wi-fi is pretty sketchy and my fridge is always empty because i don't ever do a big shop.
16:57And I just want to give the pod and YouTube and you guys a solid eight bananas. I absolutely love yous. Hi to Heckler's Corner. Yous are doing amazing. And yeah, respect guys. Oh, what a brilliant message. What an amazingly long message. How long was that? What a lovely message though. Great message. Great question. Great throw of the monster munch. You couldn't make it land like that if I give you a million tries. That's amazing. That's like a 50-pence piece has landed on its side after a coin toss. That's... Okay. Pass the pigs. Oh, yeah. Megan, Megan. You remember that game? Megan, Megan. Hold on a second.
17:39So. Right. I've got a bag of Monster Munch. I am opening them up. They are pickled onion flavour.
17:45Ant McPartlin:I always thought they were monster feet. I did. That's small. I don't even remember, isn't it? Upside down. So, hold on. Upside down like that. Yeah. And their monster's legs. I don't think it helps that you don't have the cartoon monster on the front as reference. Do you know what I mean? What are you eating it for? They're really good. So that's not its feet. Well. I mean, you couldn't really bite them. The way I remember them, their arms or their fingers or whatever were thicker. Oh, they're tasty though, aren't they? For that's the monster. But on the packet, they've got them the other way up, so they're not in the shape of a monster.
18:33Ant McPartlin:So they've got them with their legs facing up in the air.
18:39What do you say? What's your verdict? Foot or monster? Well, the way they look when you get them out of the bag, that doesn't look like a monster to me, whatever way you hold it up. It's a bit like an octopus. But it also doesn't look like a hand. I'm not sure what it looks like, but it tastes bloody great. Oh, I get it now. Yeah.
18:56Ant McPartlin:So it's two legs and two long arms. Yeah. And that's how the monsters are, aren't they? The monster munch, monsters, monster munch monsters. Well. But why is the picture on the front the other way around?
19:12I don't know.
19:15Ant McPartlin:Who makes these nowadays? Walkers. Walkers. Caroline, I guess to blame. Oh, officially. The walkers confirmed that Monster Munch snacks are shaped like monster's feet. Monster's feet? Yeah, see? Eat the toes. Or paws or claws. Or paws or claws. So I was right. I was eating the toes or claws. So, Lars, I think you'll find that they are monsters' claws and paws. I think you've been had. Fiona reckons the official line from walkers, from Gary Linegar himself, was that they are monsters' claws and paws. Thanks for your message, though, Lars. only I chew very loudly loudly loudly do I I did just then near the microphone if I wasn't near a microphone and it was just sat opposite me in the restaurant would you think god he chews loudly yeah I have noticed that before and sometimes you go no I don't and you take your food in I don't no I don't you kind of go what yeah if I'm eating noodles this segment is an advert for Santander who understand managing money can sometimes be overwhelming and building small everyday habits can make it feel more manageable.

20:28Can you hear that? What is that? That is a special phone. That's not that. No, no. Hello?
20:37Ant McPartlin:Hello? What's this? Ooh, a red phone. What's this? We've got special messages. From? Special messages. From the king. No. You have been knighted. No. Sir Anton Sodec. No, it's not that one. Let's have a listen. Hi, Agony and Tander. It's Shannon. I need some urgent ethical advice. So last week, my best friend and I booked a weekend trip away together. We bought the cheapest flights side by side. When we got to the airport, the person on the gate randomly called my name and told me that due to an overbooking error, I'd been upgraded to first class for free. Get in! But here's my dilemma. My friend was left sitting in the back in row 34.
21:18Ant McPartlin:She's next to a crying baby while I spent the flight having complimentary champagne and eating warm nuts in a reclining seat. I obviously didn't offer to switch with her because, well, it's first class. But now we're on holiday and she's being incredibly cold all holiday. She's saying that a true friend would have declined the upgrade to stay sitting next to each other. Am I a selfish monster or should she be celebrating my good fortune? Yeah, you're a bit of a selfish monster. It sounds like the problem is hers, not yours. What? What? Yeah, you've got to take the upgrade. But you've gone on a little together.
21:57If you're next to each other down in World 34, then you stay together.
22:01Ant McPartlin:I would celebrate you getting an upgrade if that happens. Absolutely, you would not. I would. You would not. I would understand it. I'd be jealous. I'd wish it was me. I'd be jealous. I'd wish it was me. But I wouldn't say, oh, no, don't do it. No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't say don't do it so you can sit next to me and economy. No way. It all depends on the friend, though. Because if they've got a history of being a bit whingy, like stuff, then you know you're just going to have a horrible holiday when you get there. So is it worth the warm nuts and reclining chair? Do you know what I mean? Is it worth warm nuts and a reclining chair just to sit next to whingy balls?
22:38Whingy nuts. Whingy nuts. Warm nuts, whingy nuts. Yeah, that's what you should have. She should have weighed that up earlier on. On the way back, pay for her to fly first class. No, no, no. No.
22:49Ant McPartlin:I'm joking. I'd say that. I'd say like halfway through the flight let's swap shall we I'd be like that eye mask on blanket yeah I know seatbelt over the blanket like a good boy like a good boy like a plane swap that he is and there'd be no getting me up I'm two episodes into this box set so I can't let's have another call hi agony and tender it's Steve here hi Steve I was wondering if you could help me try I'm in a bit of a situation and I need your help One of my closest friends is getting married, which is very exciting. And of course, that means stag, stag, stag. But as time's gone on, the cost of the whole thing has just ratcheted up.
23:33First, there were the flights, then the accommodation. And then you've got to think about what you're doing there. There's the activities, there's the big evening meal. Now someone's added a second big evening meal. There's pranks, there's costumes, there's a pre-booked bar tab for a private room. It's all just getting a bit ridiculous. Added to all this, the wedding itself is on a remote island in Greece. So then there's flights there, accommodation there, a gift, and about a week of annual leave. Anyway, this guy is one of my best friends, and this is my big group of friends, so I don't want to let him down.
24:06I don't want to let the boys down. But now I'm really worried about how much it's all costing.
24:11Ant McPartlin:Do I bail? Oh, Steve, you can't bail. You can't bail. Tell me your best friends. Don't miss out on the private room, though, for the prank, because that sounds like it could be fun. Do not miss out on that. And a little bit spicy. Do not miss out on that, Steve. Yeah, there's a bar tab for a private room. Is there really? In fact. On a stag do. In fact. When can we come? When is it? I'll pay for one of your meals if I can come along. Yeah. And also, like, if you get to, like, if you're saving little and often and you get to the stag or you get to the wedding and you go, do you know what? I'm going to go on the destination.

26:27Can you have a quickie? Shall we have a quickie to finish? Yeah. Come on then. Hello, this is Matthew from Newcastle. Hello, Matthew. Question for Andon Deck. My question is two questions. What is your golf handicap and which is your favourite golf course ever? Thanks. Oh, great golfy question. I'm glad we made room for him. So, golf handicaps is very interesting because we have been down. I reckon when I was playing my best golf, I reckon I was down to like 17 on a good day. I was playing all the time. But I reckon I'm probably more than 19 now. I reckon we're both 18 handicappers. Yeah. Yeah.
27:10Yeah. We play off 18. We play off 18. We play at 18. Whether the rest of the people like it or not.
27:17Ant McPartlin:No, we're off 18. And favourite course ever. Well, favourite golf course ever is one we haven't actually played. We've just visited it and walked around it because we were lucky enough about 12 or 13 years ago to go to the Masters in Augusta. It's like the Disneyland of golf. It is incredible. So Augusta National, we walked around it. We actually went two years, didn't we? We did, yeah. And walked around it for a few days. Followed Lee Westwood when he was playing there. Yeah, playing and playing very well. And playing brilliantly. We caddied at the par three. You caddied for Lee Westwood. I caddied for Thomas Bjorn on the par three day.
27:56Ant McPartlin:Very lucky. So we had an incredible couple of days in Augusta National. We were there with Alan Shearer, all of our Geordie friends, Graham Wiley. It was just the best. The best. You look at it and you go, I don't think we could play there. Oh, I'd give it a good bash. We're too crap. We are too crap, but I'd give it a good bash. But the greens are too quick. They move too much. It's very undulating. We'd really struggle. Yeah. We would. You'd feel battered after you came. Yeah, you would. We'd feel battered on a regular call. Never mind Augusta National. Here's the thing about Augusta National as well.
28:34Ant McPartlin:It's incredibly strict. So when you go there, you're not allowed... Fothermasters, you're not allowed to take your camera or your phone. So you have to lock them away at the gates. There's big lockers at the beginning. You check them in, you go out there. So there's no cameras, no phones on the course. So you go out, you watch the golf in peace. Which is interesting though, because every now and again at the back of a green, there's a grandstand where you can sit down and watch the golfers come in and play that green. And the majority of people are American because it's in Georgia, America. But every now and again, you'll meet a European and you'll definitely meet Brits.
29:11And whenever we see a Brit, they go, oh, I'm on deck, can I? And they stand up and check their back pocket and they go, nothing, doesn't matter. It's okay. And realise, because they haven't got their phone. It's just like, can I have a phone? Oh, no, I can't. Can I get a stuff? One person kind of had a pen on them, so was prepared. Can I have your autograph? We're like, oh, I haven't done this in a while. Yes, you can. How do I write my name again? Oh God, everything's electronic these days. Can you give me a second? Hold on. I shouldn't be talking this loud. They're on the green. But yeah, that Loch Lomond we've played in Scotland.
29:43That was amazing.
29:44Ant McPartlin:Let me finish my Augusta story. Oh, you're still going? Still going. So when you go there as well and they open the gates, you know when you open the gates for a big event like that and people come in and they go, oh, I want to get a good spot, a good spot, and you've got to run to the big... No running. There's wardens there and security. Yeah. And they shout out, no running at Augusta National. No running at the Masters. There's no running at Augusta National. so we were there one day and we'd been we'd been around the coast three days on the trot baking sunshine and we were waiting a mate of ours had checked his phone in so he was in the queue to get his phone back and we were waiting and got down on his honkers and then he sat on a little wall and then lay back do you remember he lay back on the grass just taking a bit of sun and the steward came over he went excuse me sir there's no lying down at Augusta National what can you do?
30:34Ant McPartlin:I'm sunburned here He's going, this is ridiculous, this is ridiculous. There's no lying down at Augusta National. It does make for the most pleasant experience ever, doesn't it? Very, very refined. It's very refined. Very dignified. Wonderful. We've also played St. Andrews, the home of golf in Scotland. That was amazing. Very, very iconic. What did you say? Yeah, birdied the eighth. Yeah. What did you say? You also hit the hotel on the 17th. Yeah, I remember that. I did, yeah. I parted the 18th and got a round of applause from the locals. What other great courses have you played? Loch Lomond's really good.
31:13Royal Portrush in Ireland. Yes. That was amazing. Amazing. Played there with Grey McDowell. That was wonderful. Our favourite course in the North East is Close House. Close House is fantastic. I know you've got to go, guys, but we're... Quick question. This is about to be a quick one, but we like talking about golf.
31:27Ant McPartlin:Okay, this was just a quickie. We've got to leave it there. Thanks, Matthew. Great question. That was really good. Time for...
