15:08Charlotte Jacket

15:09Ant McPartlin:You join us at a very tense moment here in the studio. Charlotte has won seven of the ten. She's decided to gamble. She wants the other three, but most of all, she wants the day star prize, which is that CD player to play the CDs on. otherwise she won't be able to listen to them. She'll have to use them as coasters. Very nice coasters. Very nice coasters. Charlotte, how confident are you in your killer question today? Well, with the way it's been going. Yeah, yeah.

15:38Declan Donnelly:I'd say be very confident. I feel confident. I feel good about this one. But you never know. This could be the one I just know. We say that limberless win all the time. This could be the one I just know. The fighting talk has come back, has it? Yeah, it has actually.

15:53Ant McPartlin:Well, this is a very tense moment. As I said, you never know. This knowledge might just be in there. It might be just hiding behind the big fella and the little fella who hosts the new movie years. Stop saying big fellas and little fellas in my ear. The score is 7-3. This, for today's star prize, let's have today's killer question. In the Apple TV series, Ted Lasso, which was... Hang on, can you just pause there a second? What was that noise? Is that a good noise or a bad noise? That was a bad noise. I watched two seasons of it. Okay, okay, okay. That's okay. Okay. That's okay. Okay. Start again, Charlotte.

16:35Ant McPartlin:Okay. In the Apple TV series, Ted Lassi. Mm-hmm.

16:43Which word do Ted and Rebecca use when wanting to know the answer to a question truthfully?

16:50Declan Donnelly:your time started Biscuit oh my goodness guys where did you pull that from? is it right? no it's the wrong answer God's sake God's sake what did you mean there? God's sake Sean is the winner

17:15you're fake you're fake you're fake you are your fake You're thick, you're thick, you're thick, you're thick, you're thick, you're thick. Oh, God, this is even worse than it was back in the day. I've got kids watching this. I'm embarrassed. It's like your worst nightmare. How cheap is that dunces hat, by the way? Very cheap. If we ever do this again, we have to spend money on dunces hat. I think it was at least cardboard before. I'm itching already.

17:45Declan Donnelly:What was the answer? Oklahoma. Oklahoma. Because I remember that she loved his biscuits. He brought her biscuits all the time. Biscuits for the boss. Yeah, yeah. Biscuits for the boss. Yeah, of course. There's a knock on the door. There's a knock on the door. There's a knock on the door. So I get it. Do you want to get it? Yeah, you get it. It's Dr. Gammie's 10.1. How's good looking, though? Thank you. I'm just as tall. How are you, Jack? I own line of underpants, yeah. Don't you? You should. How are you? You should. Come on in. Happy to see you. Come and have a seat. And I just met your beard.

18:15She's safe. You know? Been happily married for 10 years. Lovely, lovely beard. You've got a good beard. I've got a good beard, but I'm hairless from the neck down. Are you? Are you? Larry, our hairdresser, gives me the whole, the Jack Back and Sack, he calls it. I'm like a dolphin.

18:33Ant McPartlin:The Jack Back and Sack. Is your parenting style very, very different from your father's? Well, I haven't started a boarding school yet. There was a yet, though.

18:42Declan Donnelly:Yeah, yet. Yeah, there was a yet. Yeah, yet. do they do boarding nurseries is that a thing it's an idea it's an idea there's money in it I have a really good relationship with my dad yeah and I just look back and I'm like I can't quite work out how there was a lot of nannies there was a lot of boarding school when did I see him maybe that was the kid maybe that's it he's best in small doses to be fair and yeah we may be made up for it later you know Ed's travelled the world together and spent a lot of time with each other So maybe that was the best way around.

19:18Ant McPartlin:I did that thing where I got, you know, there's all those parenting books and there's that one, the book you wish your parents had read and your children will thank you that you did. Yes, yeah, I bought that. It's a long title, isn't it? It was really long. I did it on audiobook. So I was kind of on my walks and reading it and all that. And I got to a point, I switched it off and went, I'm never going to be able to do this. There's just so much to remember. There's so much to do and how to react in every situation. But if you read all those books and listen to every podcast, you would terrify yourself.

19:49You'd think there's absolutely no way you'd be capable of doing it. But most people seem to be pretty good at stepping up to it. I think it's hilarious. And I was probably that person as well in my friendship group. But I've got another friend who's recently just told me that he's having a baby. I was like, how the hell is that going to work? But it will. And the baby will come along and he'll be amazing. And he'll step up to it. and yeah you find something from within yourself and it does change you as well like instantly it's it's it's crazy isn't it like the minute that your baby comes along like it changes your whole like outlook and perspective and yeah your whole personality so it's yeah yeah i've loved it

20:29Ant McPartlin:i remember when we had isla and we were maybe like six seven days in we got home from the hospital got back and we were home six seven days and then woke up one morning it was a particularly bad night and I remember turning to Ali and going oh it's relentless isn't it like I don't know what I expected yes relentless it's like for the rest of your life when do we get the weekend off oh it's relentless isn't it yeah it's having a kid but you're right wouldn't change it I had a wonderful

20:56Declan Donnelly:moment yesterday where we bought him a little table and chairs for his playroom I was trying to put it together and kind of I had all the instructions I had all the pots on the ground and he was coming around getting involved and I was getting involved you're getting involved like just moving all the instructions around and hiding the allen key and picking up the screws so I was like what I said Wilder why don't you go and get your tools and you can help daddy and for once he listened went to the other room brought his little wooden toy kit put it down next to me sat down got out a screwdriver so I copied what I was doing and was just kind of doing that on the bit of wood next to me I was like this is it this is everything the best that's the best I wish I had that moment with Elsie.

21:39And I have not had that moment with Elsie. Okay. Okay. I'm getting a toolkit. I am a bit of a beta male, as you might know this about me. And I find it, at the best of times, quite emasculating that if something goes wrong in the house, there's a lovely guy called Daniel. And he has to come and help do the manly tasks around the house. so anything that goes wrong from you know something breaking or a pipe burst to a light bulb going out i have to get a man around okay i have to get a man around to be the man in the house but i've now discovered that there is there is a sort of boss level of emasculation which is roxy recently bought a doll's house for elsie that i could not construct i had to get a man out to make the child's dollhouse for my daughter.

22:30What am I? I'm always a bit of a mistake. Me and Wilder will come round, father and son. I'm going to talk it, he's going to talk it. The Parliament's done. Here they come. Dodgy cowboys.

22:44Declan Donnelly:This next bit is an advert for Gemini, Google's AI app. I wonder who the viewers think is better at golf, me or you? Probably me. Why would you say that?

22:55Ant McPartlin:Lower centre of gravity.

22:57Declan Donnelly:Yeah, that doesn't work.

22:58Ant McPartlin:The whole you are, the better. Shall we see who has got the best swing at the moment? Yeah. We could use Google Gemini. Okay. See who's got the best swing. Go on, stand up there then. Okay, there you go. Get yourself ready. Do you need any warm-ups, no? No, straight into it.

23:11Declan Donnelly:Gemini, can you rate Dex Golf Swing out of bananas? Eight being the best, zero being the least. Go.

23:23Ant McPartlin:What does Google Gemini say about that? I'd give Dex's swing about two bananas out of eight. What? Okay, do me, do me, do me. No second chances, no second chances. I want to know how to improve. Gemini, rate, and swing out of bananas. Eight being the best, zero being the worst.

23:44I'd give it about three bananas out of eight. Three bananas!

23:47Declan Donnelly:I got three bananas. You got two bananas. Ayo, ayo, ayo.

23:52Ant McPartlin:I mean, neither of us have covered ourselves in glory.

24:45Ant McPartlin:This 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

25:13it's a what

25:13Ant McPartlin:it's one single crisp it's a crisp just one crisp and we've got the crisp we do it it's still good it looks exactly the same was 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-R-M. Form. Form. Form. Form? No, there. Form? No, there. 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 this form Why are you laughing I've got the same accent as you Form Form Form Form Form Form Form I said form

26:17Declan Donnelly:None of this screaming It makes a good podcast What are we going to do 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 can we learn a bit more Welsh yeah yeah right this will test you so listen to our new podcast I didn't think it would be this complicated so grandilch grandilch listen ar ein ar ein podlediad podlediad that's a good word that's a nice one isn't it podlediad I like saying that And it's that podcast. And then, Niewith. Yeah, so Podlediad is podcast. Niewith. Niewith. Podledad, yeah. The clue to Niewith is in the, why go further than the first three letters?

27:00It's all right, Niewith. You're complicating things here, guys. And Grandelch are in Podlediad, Niewith. Podlediad. Podlediad, Niewith.

27:07Declan Donnelly:And we're using that from now on. Niewith. Pleasurable saying, isn't it? Niewith. Podlediad, yeah. It's like the other joke that people always use is about microwave.

27:16Ant McPartlin:How do you say microwave? Popperty ping. Popperty ping. Is that true? Soish, yeah. But it's a great word. Now, this is a hard one. So subscribe to our YouTube channel. You see, we've decided not to go with YouTube. It's YouTube. YouTube. You just say it with a slightly Welsh accent. YouTube. YouTube. YouTube. No, he said with a Welsh accent. YouTube. What? YouTube. Channel is all right as well. Chanel, that's all right. Chanel. Chanel YouTube. Chanel YouTube. The first half of it is a little bit harder.

27:50Declan Donnelly:Stop it. Stop it Stop it You joke Stop it Tannis Greveuch Tannis Greveuch Tannis Greveuch Tannis Greveuch Ian Chanel YouTube Ian Chanel YouTube There you go YouTube Yeah stop the YouTube thing Just stop it Just say YouTube like you normally say YouTube YouTube No just say YouTube How do you do that? Chanel YouTube Not YouTube Just say it Chanel YouTube YouTube YouTube YouTube I don't know how to say it anymore Very good Next one Next five stop Okay Hi so my question for Antidek is What was it like to be a dad for the first time And did it change you like in any way in a positive way Or hopefully not negative but anywho's I just want to know like a little I thought a deeper question would be quite nice So yeah what was that like Thank you.

28:50Ant McPartlin:Thank you. Thank you, anonymous lady. Very good question. It's a lovely question.

28:55Declan Donnelly:And yeah, it is a bit deeper, but we don't mind that. We can delve a bit deeper.

28:58Ant McPartlin:We can do deep.

28:59Declan Donnelly:We can do that. Yeah, it is the best, the absolute best being a dad. And I was lucky enough to be stepdad to my girls a few years before my son was born. So I feel like I had a really great introduction to fatherhood because I got to be able to talk to them straight away. I could converse with them. I could have fun with them. We could go out and the feedback was immediate. And then when Wilder came along, I got to do all of the baby toddler stuff that I didn't get to do with the girls. So I've had kind of the best of both worlds, really. And it changes you for the better. all of the sleepless nights, the early mornings, the tiredness is worth it.

29:45Declan Donnelly:It's all worth it. It's all worth it. It's the greatest thing I think you can do. It far surpasses anything that we've achieved in our career.

29:54Ant McPartlin:I think it's our biggest achievement. Yeah, I agree. Of everything that we've done professionally. Actually, it's the thing that we've, I think, got the most from, the most satisfaction, most rewarding. And also when they first come along, you don't realize how much they change your life, but for the better, the absolute better. And it's almost like when they do come along, like you've discovered the meaning of life. Yeah. And you find levels of love within you that you didn't realize that were there. And for me, I was lucky enough to have two, have a girl and a boy. and I was a bit worried before Jack came along because I thought, God, am I ever going to be able to love him as much as I love Isla?

30:39Ant McPartlin:Yeah. And do I have to half my love to both of them? Do they both get half of my love? Because she's got it all at the moment and then he came along and you realise then, oh no, you don't half anything. You get double the love. Yeah. It goes again. You reach another level within you that you just find more love for this other little thing. It's the best, best thing ever. I wish I'd done it earlier and I wish I'd had 10.

31:05Declan Donnelly:Yeah. No, yeah, I agree. Yeah, it's true. Maybe not 10. Maybe three. No, I've got three and I'd have more. Was it, who were we talking to one day? Was it Jimmy Cole we were talking to about fatherhood? And he speaks very highly of it as well. And he was saying they're the best time wasters in the world. You put your phone down. Yeah. You're not checking emails. You're not at work. When you're in that company, especially when they're little, little, you can't do anything other than just focus on them. And I find that even with my older girls as well, you know, when I'm with them, I just want to be present.

31:37Yeah.

31:37Declan Donnelly:And just, I want to, I enjoy hanging out with them more than anybody else. You know, they're the most fun. No, but it's true. You know, I like being with them. They make me laugh. They make me cry. They make me everything. It's just, it's wonderful.

31:51Ant McPartlin:The thing that having children forces you to do is to become instantly less selfish because you're there for these other people. and so that goes into your world view you see the whole world in a fresh different way and in a I think a less selfish way yeah I agree

32:06Declan Donnelly:you have to be less selfish because you have to think about you know their happiness is more important to me than my happiness I mean they get in your nose sometimes oh god almighty I remember the good old days

32:18Ant McPartlin:before I had them

32:24why have you got a left because Because my left is weaker. Oh my God. Right, go on, get it on. Okay, but you put the right on then. Is your right weaker? My right is also weaker, but so is my left. This is the thumbnail. I obliterate tonight. I'm wearing it. I'm wearing it. Right, Kirsten, are you... Give me... Right, hang on. Or do you want to start, Dan? Well, I'm going to have to be this side. Oh, Jesus. You get two shots each. Two shots each. Okay. Bye. Three, maybe? No, two. Two! You haven't lost. Shall I go first? Go on, man. What percentage am I allowed here? What are you going to do? Why don't you do a 50, and then we can see how it goes from there.

33:05Okay. Okay? This is 50%. Okay. Hooray! Okay, I can take 100 % of that, definitely.
