Tony once said that the key to their 35-plus years together is “never taking yourself too seriously.” That’s easy for a man who’s made a career out of playing “I’m a Believer” on repeat. But Debbie, being the ace that she is, understands that his work is a little chaotic.

They don’t spend every waking moment together. Tony might be off doing a radio show or a podcast, while Debbie enjoys quiet time with their dogs. It’s not a rejection; it’s a survival tactic. Ever tried living with someone who hums jingles in the shower? Yeah, you’d need a break too.

When they’re both home, their routine is delightfully mundane. Tony walks their cocker spaniel, Cassie—a floppy-eared furball who probably gets more radio time than some DJs. Debbie, meanwhile, might be in the kitchen, crafting a Sunday roast that could make a grown man cry.
