Chapter 1: What special gift does Dec give to a fan?
Coming up on the show, Dec gives a fan a priceless gift.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Ant does his first ever swap. Next swap, please. That's a no. That's a no. Dec's bird story gets foxy.
Chapter 2: What happens during Ant's first swap experience?
I've never seen an advert that says we can go pick up your dead fox anywhere.
You've got to look at their specialist website. And we dive headfirst into the postbag. Enjoy the show.
Chapter 3: What unusual bird story does Dec share?
It's not a haunted episode. Hello, everybody.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to Hanging Out with me and him. For those of you just listening, there is a big cardboard box here on the table in front of us. Red box? It's not an episode of Deal or No Deal. We shall look inside. And there's a note.
Pass it to me because you haven't got your glasses on. The note says, Alan Deck, thank you for your slow cooker. It was put to good use. Oh. This was Deck's slow cooker that he swapped. This famous guy swapped last week on last week's pod. In the box are the Christmas Santa trays. Please note, clean and a moist cloth. If necessary, dry immediately.
If you have any issues with them on your device, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Okay. Can I have a look? Also in the box is a bonus item. There are eight to match the number of bananas. Thanks again, Mark Pierce. Thank you, Mark. Let's just open the present and we'll work it all out.
So this is my swap.
The deck swap is slow cooker. It's getting a bit noisy now because it's in a very big... There are two in there.
Well, look, we've got bubble wrap. Melt tissue paper. Oh, it's like Christmas morning. It will be like Christmas morning. It's for Santa.
Let's see. Oh, look. It's engraved. It's engraved. What's it say on the top? Merry Christmas. Love Jack. Oh, that's lovely.

Chapter 4: How does Dec's pigeon problem evolve?
You know that I like taking notes on my iPad using my Apple Pencil. Yes, you love it. We got back from Easter holidays and Apple Pencil had vanished. Gone. Lost it. So I had to order a new Apple Pencil. It comes. Good. It doesn't attach to my iPad properly. Did it actually write? No, it didn't write. Wouldn't connect to the iPad. Call up Apple, say it's faulty, you've got to send it back.
So I sent it back. Who's got time for all this? I know. If I'm going to take notes in any meetings from now on, I can't remember everything.
I could take the note.
I had to get another Apple Plus. So anyway, it turned up. The other day. Right. New one turned up. Just as I was leaving the house with the kids, we were all getting ready to go out to the park. So Jack was on his scooter, helmet on. Isla was there. She had her jacket on, ready to go. Ding dong. It's the delivery man. And it comes in.
And obviously when there's a delivery, the kids are like, who's that for?
Is it for me?
Is that for me? So I said, no, it's for daddy. It's very important. I said, it's finally here. It's my new Apple Pencil. So I opened it up like that. And there. And I said, well, what is it? I says, it's my Apple Pencil for writing on my iPad. And Jack, helmet off. He went, daddy, daddy, daddy! Ran into the kitchen, opened up his treasure box, pulled out my Apple Pencil and went, Sim Sim!
The original one!
The original one was in his wooden treasure box. Did you know about this wooden treasure box? I did. And you never checked it? I didn't check this wooden treasure box. What else is in there? Toy cars, lots of Lightning McQueen. Right, okay. Nothing else you've been missing? Well, I'm going to... Because I lost my house keys the other week. So I'm wondering if they're in there.

Chapter 5: What insights do the hosts share about their spending ban?
Yeah. So I'll start with, I bought them, so it's not bad luck. Golf shoes. Look how nearly new they are. They are good. Adidas golf shoes. What size are these? These are a 10, I think. Now, I've tied them all up, but you get the idea. So these are a set of Callaway Apex golf. What? I know. They're good, aren't they? They're really good. So look how new they are. Look at that.
This is all in the heart that McLaren golf clubs are watching. And they're going to send me some to make up for me swapping them. Thanks, McLaren. They haven't been on. No.
They haven't been on. So the Callaway Irons. And then I thought to make it more of a full set, I'm not giving away a putter because I love my putter. I'm not giving that away.
No, you can't give away something you're using. That's not the point.
I've got a Nike... Three wood. Great. The old dynamo. And I've got a night driver. Let me take this off because this is a bit old.
In fact, I brought something today to add, but let me go and get it.
There you go. You've got a driver there as well. Driver, three wood and a full set of irons. Wow. And not only that, it's all up... You've got something there? Yes. Not only that, you've got this, you've got the golf shoes. You've got... Golf cap from Manners. There you go. The shoes, the golf gloves, the cap, and whatever you want.
And I remember somebody bought me these for my birthday last year. And I thought, oh, I'll add these to the pile. There's 12 golf balls. And... You've got my face on! Your face is on the golf balls, yes.
Why the hell is my face on a set of golf balls?

Chapter 6: What interesting swaps are proposed by listeners?
I mean, look, he's in a pretty sad way. If you're just listening, we're pointing to Ant's spitting image puppet on the shelf behind us, which is kind of only from the top lip up.
Yeah, it's pretty sad. It's a pretty sad affair. So yes, I'll send it over. Happily do that. And will he make a little body? Because the body's disintegrated. It doesn't say. It just says. Well, why don't you bring yours in? Yes. And then you'll get to see yours. I can show my body. Show your body on next week's pod. Okay, I'll bring him in and show you my body.
Show your body on next week's pod and then that'll give George some idea how to shape my body. Just needs to make it a couple of centimetres bigger.
Okay.
Right, last letter for the day. Oh, it's a note. It says, pick up the voice note form.
Let me get the voice note.
Oh, okay. Got the voice note. Last one of the day. Here it is.
Hi, Ant and Dec. I had an empty bottle of Volvic. From around 94, 95, when I went to watch you in concert in Basingstoke and Dec threw his empty bottle of Volvic into the crowd and it landed at my feet. And loads of girls like jumped on me to get it off of me, but I got it. And they were all amazed and were telling me how, you've got Dex saliva, you've got Dex saliva.
Which, you know, at the time was amazing. I mean, it still is. So I kept it. And I was really proud of it. And then one day it went missing. Couldn't find it. And my mum had thrown it away because she said it was too unhygienic. I have never recovered from this. I'm gutted. I still think about that bottle fondly.
