Beautiful. It needs cleaning that. Yeah. I have to clean my engagement ring with a toothbrush. Whoever got your dad did well. Yeah, they did. Nice.

Not married though, yeah. Do you know what? I was going to say, it's missing like another band next to it. Well, do you know what? You say that. I sent you a wedding venue the other month on Instagram. I sent it you.

You didn't respond. You didn't say anything. And then I came in the kitchen and I said to you, this place would be nice because you can hire it out privately. Yes. I said it'd be nice. private, you can hire the whole thing out.

Well, I think... No, I think I found a place there we would love to get married. England or Spain? Guess where? New Yorker? No. Ibiza?

You've said there's nice places in Ibiza, not just the party town. No, no. I ain't going to get married in San Antonio. No, Menorca. I don't know how... It came up looking at places in Menorca. And you know, when you look...

Most of my fear is reals. Right. Do you mean? Or people training. Mine's dogs. Oh, I think you're saying men. Dogs and the guy from, hey mother, I still get him a lot. He still obsessed with him?

I'm not obsessed with him. He comes up on my reels. Ryan sends me a lot of videos of him. Our stylist Ryan keeps sending me videos of men. Yeah, like the other day, he sent me a video of this Spanish guy talking on a podcast and he were like, Doldol, who is him? Yeah. Like if I know every Spanish person in the world.

Right, no, I don't. So you've seen somewhere, because I saw somewhere as well. And it's beautiful. and it will be an outdoor wedding. It's not a venue. It's like in the middle of nowhere, yeah, but it's set for weddings. So they have these like spotlights reflecting up of the cliffs and the cliffs there in the part of the island.

It's like very white, like sun color, yeah? Because of the salt. It's honestly it's beautiful. I send you the decorations. You will love it. Decorations? Like how they set up for the wedding and everything. It was beautiful.

Well, my place was in the Yorkshire days. Yeah, you see. Anyway, without further ado Let meornos to Menorca So we've just had Easter in our house We went away, didn't we? Yes We went to the lakes

Well, it was Cumbria We got a little cottage Yes And it had a little boat, a little jetty We had board games, you had a log fire It was Benji's first holiday It was lovely, wasn't it? Yes

It was very cozy to be honest I know people are going about going abroad, and I love going abroad. I genuinely do. But if you go somewhere lovely in the UK with the scenery, even when the weather's naff, and there's a little fire, you can cozy up, there are some gorgeous places. I don't want a winter wedding. Oh, I don't want a winter wedding.

Well, it's going to be winter wedding anyway if it's in August. Yeah, that's true. I couldn't think of anything worse. Like, you know, knowing you, how much you stress, you're going to be stressing about that day, weather-wise, thinking, oh, we're getting married in July. Is he going to rain? Is he going to hailstorm?

Four seasons in one day. And the good thing about a wedding abroad is that it's only the people who want to be there who will make the efforts come. Which is none. You know what I mean? There won't be loads of people. Yeah.

You know, I just feel. I'm excited. I'm going to Ardeno's wedding in Italy. You know what I mean? And it's the people that wants to go. It goes. Yeah. So it's going to be nice.

So I think Menorca will be nice. Well, we hope you had a lovely Easter anyway and had loads of eggs. Mea was obsessed, Kinderbueauea wasn't it? How lovely it was doing the hunter eggs on the forest?

The Easter egg hunt we did. I said to go over this year do we do an egg or an Easter egg and you were like you do both don't be tight

and I was like but they get eggs they got eggs off my mum off my sister of Uncle Clive off Janet, my step-mom so there's literally

over eight eggs in the house and I'm the one who's going to eat them well you know it's that season of eggs and chocolate and sugar rush

remember last year we did holidays. How cute it was. Did they have Easter in Spain? Surely they must do. Jamah, you did in dinner last year? That's what I'm saying. Oh, of course, yeah. But is it really religious in Spain? Catholics. What do you think? That's why I'm asking. I assume, yes.

It's where we have the parades and people whip themselves and everything. Really? I don't know. I'm sure some people will do that. Because it was in the UK, if you are religious, forgive me if I'm wrong, Father. But he was crucified on the Friday. and the resurrection on the Sunday. And then he resurrected on the Sunday.

The bolder moved on the Sunday. You have, Domingo de Ramos, Juebis and Wednesdaysanto. Juebis, so Thursday and Friday. Juebethes and Jernes, is when he was with the crucifio, taken to the hill, yeah, on Thursday Friday. He goes stop on the...

Crucified. Crucified. Stop in the hands. Yeah. Crucify on Thursday evening, die on Friday morning. They, Friday morning when they bring me. Maria Magdanena brought it down and took him to the thin and it was buried on the blanket.

Do you know my grandma saw that blanket? Did she? Yeah. Really? My grandma is very religious. My mom's mom. I do like that. She pressed every night the Rosary Bits.

She does that every night. She went to the Vatican a few times. She went to see where he was there. In fact, I don't know if it's one, two, three, maybe four pops ago. Pops? The pop. Oh, Pope? The Pope?

Yeah. I don't know why I do this. I thought it was in Soda Pop. The Pope. The Pope. The Pope. It was, I think, in Fatima, which is a sanctuary, with the Virgin Mary appear to the three shepherds.

Yeah. Kids. So she was there. And the Pope, it got like a trial of murder. Someone shoot the Pope when he was there. My grandma was there in that moment. Oh, bless her. Yeah.

My grandma in Portugal, she's very religious. She's very religious. I see goes a lot to church every day. I pray every night though, genuinely. I'm not out loud. I always said, my mum taught me to pray when I was little. We always used to. And it was things like, if it means.

To your angels and this like that. Yeah, I just always say, thank you for another day. Thank you for my family's health and happiness. That's all I ask for. Well, I don't ask for it. I thank them for it. Thank you for my family's health and happiness and thank you for another day.

And if I see an ambulance, I have to say, touch my elbow, touch my knee, pray to God. It doesn't happen to me, me, Oli, Norman Gawker. Yeah, Tiago Benjira families. Yeah. Nice. Little right.

Always. If I see a blue light ambulance. But my grandma prays every day. And even when she calls me, sometimes my mom goes to visit. And then I say hello to them. She always says to me, even before I go,

she's like, oh, I pray every there for you and your family. Oh, how nice is that? And to know that she's praying for us. Always. She always does it. That's really, really sweet. My Maria grandma. Is that a name?

Maria. Yeah. Well, yeah, we hope you had a good Easter. We digress then. We went religious, didn't we? Yeah. Should we? Should we go into our debates?

Before we do, we've got some messages. So, sorry, before we go into our debates, we decided we're going to get married in Menorca then. Imagine the faf of taking a wedding dress out there, though. I'd have to just say to Ryan. Ryan, you just bring the dress and just get in it. Do you just get, like, a plain suitcase and put it there so then you don't get lost?

Yeah, you could bring all that. Also, Menorca is so nice. We could do it like Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock. She got married in a bikini. You just had a pair of Bermuda shorts on. Are you sure you want to see yourself in a bikina on a wedding? I don't mind. I would love it.

I mean, so the priest will be happy with that too. A priest? We don't need a priest, would we? No, because we were different religion. Yeah, it's just someone to certify it, isn't it? Yeah. Even worse, because they will be even more excited. Do you imagine if he was a fan of you on the 90s?

He would be thinking, oh, I used to buy her magazines. Let's read some messages out from our lovely listeners. So this first message is from Tanya And she says, Hi, Gemma and Gawker. I've been binging your podcast while my husband is on deployment in the Middle East.

Oh, I hope it's all right. Oh, hopefully safe. She says there are people in way more danger than he is, but your podcast still brightens my day and helps me forget to worry. Oh, bless him. Gemma, your attitude to life is really calming

and helps me put things into perspective. You are such a lovely couple, and I hope you keep doing what you do. It really does make a difference in people's lives, no matter how small it might seem. That is such a lovely message, Tanya, isn't it? Bless you, thank you for that. As if I'm saying bless you like I'm the boat, God bless you.

Do you want to read Jessie's message? Yes, I want. Good morning from South Africa. I just wanted to say how much I love listening to your banter. It's brilliant. Refreshing and much needed in a world that is so heavy right now. It is indeed. I've been a long time fan of Gawks from watching Strigley.

Thank you. Keep dancing. But been following Gemma for ages now too, as I love your down-to-earth approach, and Freddy, the squirrel, and Benji's diaries. Oh, Scurril and Diary? He came this morning, Freddy, didn't he? He still comes every single morning, Fred.

He's been coming every day you were in here. Yeah, you've been feeding him. Yes. Gork has been feeding Freddy. Well, you better have been. I mean, why do you think he's still coming? Mia said you did. Yeah, of course I did.

But I did, well, last, genuinely. I didn't fed the birds, but I fed Freddy. This is a true story. So last year, when we went on holiday for two weeks, I asked my uncle Clive to dinner. Uncle Clive had a key. Every second day for two weeks, he came round to feed Freddy and the birds.

So when I asked Uncle Clive, he was like, he's serious. I said, Clive, please, please keep that little squirrel fed. So every two weeks, he'd send us a selfie outside the house feeding Freddy. You should have left the keys for Freddie. I'm sure at this stage she can open the door and walk in. I have to give her a little cat flap. The last message is from Lynn. He's Benji from Essex.

As I think my friend has his sister, if he is, they are the same breed and colouring and birthday is the same day. Therefore, no, it's ginger, but he's not having a sprayed tans. You know what I mean? And slick hairs. He's not from Essex, Lynn, no. I won't get a southern dog, would we? Yeah, can imagine.

Bipes. Bipes, bipes. When he barks, he's more, babe. Babe. No, he's not, he's from up north, Lynn. But I love that your friend, you're a sister. He's from the Yorkshire, Dales. You know, the gods.

He's from God's country. Oh, there you go. But I love that your sister has one. They're such a lovely dog. Yeah, especially at 6 in the morning, isn't it jemma, when he sneezes on your face? He sneezed right on my face this morning, and all I thought was, the facialist had said to me about this facial, because it's like needles, micrneedling, she said to me, don't touch your face, your paws are open, don't want anything on it.

And Benji went, I think it was the first... And it was just wet, and all I thought was, oh my God, my paws are open and he sneezed on me. I think it's the first time that I'm... saw you moaning at him like, Benji, get out. I went, Benji! But then I thought, dog saliva's very antibacterial. Do only say a dog licks its own wings? Let him lick you then.

I've not even been able to brush my eyebrows up today. I was wondering why the... No mascara, nothing. Do you know what? Not even got moisturiser on. In the worst you're marking so you look flawless. Of course, babes. Babes.

Babes. But no, he sneezed on me. So, we'll see. We'll see what happens. It could get infected. It could glow. How nice, by the way, is to get these messages. I know.

So nice. It is lovely. Even on social media, so many. Like, the comments of everybody, there's the old comment, you know, but obviously everybody has been so, like, nice and lovely to the podcast. But I like the messages because it shows us as well, not that I need to remind him, but everyone's going through their own shit. Yeah.

lovely bus in hotel. There's always people going through similar or, if not worse. I mean, the bus is not lovely, you know, but sometimes it smells of food and farts. Especially with Neil. Yeah. I mean, no than he farts, you know. Neil Jones, yeah, he stinks the bus out.

Why is this called Lost in Translation? For anyone who's just joined us, it's because I'm from up north in Manchester. And I'm from Lancashire. And he's from Bilbao in Spain. And for some ridiculous reason, It works, don't it? How long we've been together now?

Over eight years. I think you're going to say over a year. Over eight years. Two kids. I think it works because of things like him going away for six weeks soon. It's little and often, isn't it? Small doses for us. It seems to work really well.

Yeah, but we just get on with each other anyway. We do. With that, should we do our own debates for the week? Yeah, I don't have, to be honest. I have. I mean, I probably have something, but... Okay. Would you want me to go first?

You go first, probably. Maybe your debate brings me back. my debate. I think it. Well, Gawker came back from New York. Being away for a week. Yes.

Not long ago. Obviously walked in, did the look around the house. He gave me grief. Was it yesterday or the day before? For buying, which I didn't know. I thought I was helping.

I said, food shopping. I'll do the big shot for us. I didn't give you grip, but I'll let you finish. And he said, okay. And I said to him, is it just the usual we need?

To which he said, see. meaning yes In fact I got the usable shop because he said it was the usual we needed I brought the usual stuff home

and then last night putting the food shop away he got the hump and went mad at me because I'd bought things that we already had bearing in mind when I asked him what we needed

I wasn't in the house to check you were no I wasn't I was at work okay fine no did we need is it the usual stuff yes I texted at you

because I wasn't with you but I guess so and so this morning No, it was last night, Gorka counted, is it 16 or 18? 14 avocados. 14 avocados. Which we are ready. Let's go back to...

I didn't buy 14. Let's go, let's do this, let's do this, yeah? Let's go back because if we go back to episode 9-10, one of my moaning situations was the shopping thing. I think we were talking about the fridge, organizing the fridge, but also was the shopping saying that you go shopping and keep buying stuff. that we are still having without checking. I wasn't in the house to check, though, with this one. You were.

I'm going to go back. Because before you left the house, you said to me, I'm going to go to my facial, and then before I go to the radio, I'm going to go to the big Tesco's next to there and do the shop. And I was like, okay, so I'm like, I don't know, just the useful. And then when you called me, you asked me again. But before you left, because you said, I need to take the Tesco backs with me to do the shopping.

You could have also look in the fridge. I didn't have time. But you never do that. It's not just once. That's my dilemma. That's why there's two of us. Like, I wasn't in the house you were. Do we need, is it the same as every day?

Yes. If I go to the shop, I look and then I ask you, do you need anything? And you will go, I need avocados, I need tomatoes. And I was like, Gemma, there is avocados. There is tomatoes. Ah, okay, then nothing. To be fair, I have an avocado every day. You won't eat 14 avocados.

Me has had an avocado this morning with her eggs. Okay. You've had half a one. I've had a half a one. Yes. I had a full one last night. I said to you, I have an avocado a week because I have all the type of fats anyway. But my point is that you yesterday buy eight avocados and there was another eight on the fridge.

You bought three packets of asparagus and yesterday I have to be in three packets of asparagus that they were soggy and passed out in the cover of the vegetables. They were passed out. Yeah, like past eight, yeah. I have to throw another many things because you buy them. But then you don't eat them. And you put them on the, you put them back on the, you know like the middle draw for the veg,

yeah, which is the coolest point. You buy, so you keep putting there. And then the other day it was two bags of spinach that they were soggy and juicy passed out, stinking on the fridge. Spinnage should go in the freezer because I put spinach in my smoothies, frozen. Another one, she keeps doing that.

So then the other day she was like, I need to organize the freezer. You go open the freezer that is a bag of spinach in every single door falling apart because she hasn't finished her and she can buy it. I'm like Chris Jenner with my freezer. Everything's just green in there. That's what it is.

But there's many of them. Chickpeas. She buy chickpeas for because one day saw this recipe of chickpeas. And it's like three bags of chickpeas on the freezer for the last seven months. Do you know what? My mom actually did message me and said there's a salmon in your freezer. And the best before date is 2002. Yes.

I've had a salmon in there for four years. Oh, God. Those avocados will get eaten. My pick is, yes, but... I eat one every day. They'll be gone in two weeks. Gemma, but it's not a problem. They will eat.

But you know what happened with you? That you will go to the supermarket tomorrow, after tomorrow, and you will pass the avocados and get another two. And it's many times that I cut the avocado and it's like black inside. Because she's been there since the prehistory.

Do you know what I mean? Well... That's my divide, to be honest. Okay. And my debate goes, not just because you buy in food that we have, you're just wasting food and wasting money. The other day you shouted it because I bought too much washing detergent. Yes. That's insane because it ain't going to go out of date and you never have enough washing detergent in the house.

All you needed to do was put it in the cupboard, not kick off, go mad, say we didn't need it. I get mad because the size that you buy, you buy the extra large so doesn't feed on the cover. And I had in the next to the washing machine six bottles of detergent. Why do you need six bottles? Are you think we're going on a pandemic? We do a lot of washing. It's like the toilet paper in the pandemic. She gives us buying paper rolls.

I do. I am a bit of a hoarder with stuff. And she's a keeper. Yeah. But the house runs smoothly because of me. You're going away. I need to be prepared. I need to get everything in the house ready.

I ain't got time to do a big shot with Tiago on my hip, Mia in the trolley. I work. I do this pod. I run a business. I'm busy. So I need to stock up in advance. I will freeze that salmon for three.

four years. Do you know what I mean? And the three bags of love bread? Freezy bread, toast your bread from frozen. But you don't freeze it. Well, I can do. I'll let it go hard. It's like the bird's food.

Every time I go to the supermarket, if I go three times a week, if I have to go three times a week to the supermarket, I need to buy a bag of bird food every week, every time. So that's three bags of bird food every week. Times four is 12. She has them at home. She doesn't finish them in a month. Yeah, but Gorka, like today the ground's frozen.

Those little birds that come, they won't be able to dig up worms. We have to help nature. We help them out. This morning, actually, you were Googling magpies, jackdaws, because you asked me. Crow, I didn't ask you. You asked me, what, you said, what's that black and white bird? I said, it's a magpie.

I said, it's part of the Crow family. And you said, what's it called in Spain? I was like, you're asking the wrong person. You googled it, and then you found out. And then you said, is that one? Is that the Maleficent one? I said, no, you're thinking of a crow. That's a jackdaw.

A crow family, very intelligent bird. And he was actually googling the birds that were coming in our garden this morning. I love how she's concerned about the grass being froze and the birds don't get food. And he fell this morning. I fell down the stairs this morning picking up Benji's poo. On the way down I fell and bang my elbow and cut my food. She wasn't considered. She was like, oh, she's like, yeah, I can tell he's froze.

Thanks. Birds can't eat. Literally. I would like ass down, face up on the floor. He said to me, thank God he was just my elbow. elbow, not my head, you know. Yeah, it was painful, eh? My back went again.

It's a slate step. I'm a bank. Oh, right. Should we move on to solving someone else's dilemma? Yeah, and this one is very serious, to be honest. Right, as you guys know, Lost in Translation is brought to you by Shell, which is perfect for us because we stop by Shell all the time. Our days get really ecic, so it's good to know that Shell is there when we need.

Shell are the place to go for any journey, whether you need charge. full the car or yourself needs something from it. Yeah, well this morning I went there for breakfast, believe it or not, for the two guys doing the jet wash. We've got some fellas doing a jet wash at the minute at the house. They turned up without breakfast. And I said to them, don't worry, I'll just nips with a shell. Because you can get everything there.

You've got your fruit. You can get veg. You can get sausage. Other there, remember in the morning, last minute with Mia decided she wanted to have a glass of milk. And I was going to go to the supermarket because I thought she didn't want in the morning. So thank goodness we had the shell next to us

So I just drive it five minutes back She was happy slurrigo What is cool I have milk Job done I never just use our local For fuel only Because you go in there

And you think oh I need that Oh I need this I can just pick it up I'd even use it for my parcels You know the parcel post yeah Oh of course yeah You send your parcels from there as well Just go in there put it in the box

They take it Finish job done Shell has got you covered This is the reality of reaching 42 in a hot studio with a perimenopause. Are you hot? I'm fine. I am hot.

It doesn't smell. It's just wet. You want to see my back. Clearly, we all know that I'm hot, but I am not hot. This has been a recurring thing, hasn't it, at the minute? Me being hot. Hot in the night and then I'm cold. Hot flushes, yeah.

Hot flushes. They're fantastic. Thank goodness, I'm going away for six weeks because they're sleeping with you. It's my other one wet as well. I bet you're going to walk Stand up from that chair with a like sweat pat on your bum I'm going to walk out there with my hands behind my head And frighten everybody

Anyway So the person whose message does We're not going to give out the name She did give us a name But we've decided again sharing it Just in case a partner is listening or watching It's actually quite sad She said this one's a dilemma

Which needs a female perspective But also a bit of Spanish translation Why is Spanish translation? We'll find out I've been engaged for a while now and one morning in the hustle and bustle of getting ready for work, doing the school run, etc.

My partner was in the shower and I was getting dressed. His phone rang. With it being so early in the morning I thought it must be some kind of emergency so I called out to ask him if I should answer it but he couldn't hear me. So I just answered it before it rang off.

It was a woman on the other end and she said, hey pappy. That's not funny. What's hey pappy? Pappy's funny. She said it was a sexy voice just woken up type which took me back a bit.

I said, oh, hello, he's not able to answer at the minute who's calling. She then said, oh, oh, sorry, I think I've got the wrong number and hung up. Of course, I sat there thinking, what the frig? And immediately a text come up, and the notification was from the same number that rang, and it just said, I just called you, who was that, Pappy? You see? Pappy's in trouble. When I asked him about it at first, he said it was no one,

and blame me, course he did. Blame me for answering it. And then he said it was just a friend that he's been. been doing a bit of PT with, trading to be a PT with. I noticed she was saved in the phone as her name, Mammy. And when I confronted him and said, you don't say friends in your phone like that, he just parmed me off saying it means nothing. Now, as a Spanish man goaker, can you tell me what context would a man use the term

mommy or a woman use it, pappy? Now, Will Smith's song, Miami. To be honest, yeah. Yeah. In what way would you use that? Karen called me papi. Does she? Yeah.

It could be a mate. Yeah. But mommy and papi is like It's not like in English Hi Daddy It's not like that way What about the J-Lo? I like your puppy

I love you like your puppy But that's the problem In Spanish contest It can be many things It's the way you said it You know what I mean Like for example To Karen

Some may tell me like Let's go mamacita That's mommy That makes sense Or When Karen called me She would like Or she will go like

Oh Chamito Or go like How are you puppy? That makes sense? It could be that, but it's like in a friendly way. Well, she says, between you and me, my spidey senses have been to work. Sorry, don't interrupt you. Carlos called me, puppy. She says, between me and you, my spidey senses have been to work and I think I've found her, but wanted some advice before I confront her. Thanks in advance, love the podcast, your TV show,

Insta stories, love it all. P.S. Gemma, let's get Gemma's mates on for a girl's night on the show that'd be hilarious. She said, I think I'm going to need it after the showdown. First of all, like, again, probably it's a person, so if it's no Spanish. 100% Spanish because in Spain my country we wouldn't use puppy or mommy that's Latin country like for example Cubans yeah like Jeanette she will say ohie puppy get a so and that's no sexual or anything like intimate it's just friendly that makes sense oh yeah ohemascita ohia my mama sita say like hey girl how are you yeah what is we eyes is she called hi puppy and then hang up yeah and and you've said here we're not saying a name before I confront her

Now the text message said, I've just rang you, who was that? So for me, she doesn't know about you. Yeah. So the confronting needs to be with your man first and foremost. Because this lady doesn't know about you just as much as you don't know about her. So I would be saying to him, you've got three seconds to tell me who she is before I ring that number back and ask her myself. In front of you. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get the number and say to him, I mean, obviously, I'm not a relationship expert, so please don't take this. If you're, you know. She will go with a baseball bat. This is just what I would do, but I am not an expert. But she asked who you were in the text message. This is the thing. When there's cheating going on in any relationship, if it is cheating,

were very quick to attack the other person. When a lot of the time, not every time, but a lot of the time I've been cheated on in the past. The girl who he was cheated on me with had no idea about me. I had no idea about her. So why am me and her going to fight? he's the bell end off-efox in my opinion which is what we did

but people are so quick to turn around and fight the females or fight the males when it's one person causing the issue she texts saying who was that she doesn't know who you are do you know what I mean does your fellow work away is the times in the morning that

he's free to speak to her do you reckon she could be on a different time zone if she's not in the UK was it a UK number this is what you need to do so is I investigation I'm a scorpion I find out everything is the FBI. But confront him first in my non-professional opinion in relationships. Three seconds to tell me who she is.

Or I'll ring that number back in front of you and I will ask her myself. And then second of all, if it does come out, have a nice life, still be in your kid's life because you're a fantastic dad, but the locks will be changed when you come home. Go and stay with your mum for a bit. That would be me. Easier said than done. And you'd feel so heartbroken, like I'd be devastated.

But I'm always like, I mean, I don't know what your opinion on this is. But if it's, say we were going through a bad patch, touch would we never do. But say we were going through a really bad patch where there's no communication, no intimacy, you're not present, you're not living together. And you went out one night or I did, got stupidly blind drunk, kissed someone else, did whatever. and the next day was so beside yourself that, oh my God, I can't believe I've done this. Then you think it'd be horrendous,

but I'd like to think you'd try and work through it because it was a stupid, ridiculous mistake, and it was at a time when there was no connection. That is like a spontaneous, I shouldn't have done it, it was ridiculous. If it's an ongoing thing, it's then premeditated, it's a choice. Yeah, yeah. If you're continuously choosing to be with someone else, manipulating, lying, scheming, spending money on hotels or whatever,

that, for me, then done, because that's not a spontaneous, it was a stupid mistake and I hate myself for it. That is, you've made a choice to actively pursue what you think is greener when the grass is greener on the other side because it's usually fake. I'll let you have that one. What that means? Well, they say, some people who like, say I was like, having an affair, you can think, well, the grass is greener on the other side.

Well, it's because it's fake grass. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's not, it's not a real, do you know what I mean? And also, if you're the person who's bystanding that affair, so, I don't know, say you were having an affair with another woman for eight months, whatever, it's like, why is she happy? It's painful to be just, just deal with one, to be honest. That's what I mean.

I don't understand how they're happy to be the sidepiece for so long. as well because surely they'd be saying pick aside man yeah i don't know and also like i mean like i won't guide myself for the puppy thing because i could be like friendly yeah i will be more for like asking the question who is that person or what is this if you were mates she'd know about you yeah like i've got male mates who all know about goka you've got female mates who all know about me so the fact that she didn't expect a girl to answer makes me think yeah yeah he's the one who's been lying yeah she wouldn't be like who is this person who will be like oh hi yeah Can you, whatever, you mean?

So I don't know. But what do you think our listeners should do? If you've got any advice, maybe you've been in a similar situation. Lost in translation at bowermedia.com. Lost.com. Or if you want to send us a WhatsApp, maybe send a voice note for her. It's 07761039898.

But I hope you get it sorted. Some of these dilemmas now are quite serious, aren't they? Should we lighten the load with the game? Yes, but also I feel like that's a good idea, you know? The Gemma's mates Girls' Night in the show. That would be hilarious. With Laura and that, I'd get cancelled with them two in here. If we do a live podcast one day, can you bring them?

Give them some Proseco, that would be hilarious. As long as there's some smooth G, some mothers ruin and prececo. Oh, you'd love Laura and that. Right, this week's game is called Strongly Agree or Strongly Disagree. So we're going to be giving some statements and we have to answer with one of the following answers. I'm going to call Vito already for one. For Vito? Yeah.

Strongly agree. Agree. Disagree or strongly disagree. It's like how would you rate this service? I'll see. How would you rate your Uber journey on a series of 1 to 5? What you're ringing Vito on? Because there's one statement here that he will answer it.

Okay, let's get this from... So the first statement will be asked to Vito. Hey, Gorts. Ciao, Vito. How are you? I'm good, you. Yeah, good. Sorry to bother you.

I'm with Gemma right now. Hey, Vito. We're just doing the podcast, yeah? Hey Gemma. And we're doing a game which is like a statement, yeah? A statement, okay. And I was reading before I called you and before I read this statement like aloud, I said I need to call Vito because he will give the best answer to this statement, yeah?

A statement is like an exclamation. Yeah, a statement is like, for example... It's a sentence and it's whether you agree or disagree with it. Yes? Okay, okay. So Gemma's going to read it and you can say your opinion. Okay, but Gemma, can you read a bit slow, please? I will do.

So, does pineapple belong on pizza? I already starts very bad, okay. What do you think? Absolutely not. Like, pineapple is the sun, actually pizza is the sun and pineapple is the moon. It's like, you know, yin and young, sky and the ocean, you know. You don't ask an eagle to go. and swim between the sharks

and you don't ask a shark to go in the sky and fly, you know what I mean? So why you want to put this pineapple on the pizza, you know, you're going to kill the old situation, the old vibe, you know? You know, once I went somewhere in the world and I met this girl and she, you know, she said to me like, oh, you want to come, you know,

because my parents have, you know, my family has a kind of restaurant or whatever. I said, okay, come and come and I went there and I wanted to be nice. I said, what do you want to eat? I said like, well, you know, you do it. You know, your treat. I mean, I'm your guest, whatever you want.

and they brought with all the pride something called Pizza Hawaii. I mean, it doesn't even exist. The Hawaii and pizza doesn't go in the same name. And it was pizza with Panepo. I did, you know, fake that I had like a very strong crumb in my belly and they run away. There you go, you see. Okay. I knew he was going to give us the best answer.

Okay. Well, thank you for partaking, Vito. Yeah, did you take the notes? Yes, we take the notes. Thank you, Vito. Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you.

soon, bye. Bye. Bye, bye, Wow. There you go. That's what, Vito,

do you know what? I love him. Vito is like that. That's why I have to call him because I knew he will give you. 24-7. He's like, there's no on or off for Vito.

Oh, this is the best moment ever. What you see with Vito on the show is what you, that is what it's like all the time. I mean, it's exhausting. But so he strongly disagrees.

The pizza does not belong on pineapple. Pineapple does not belong on pizza. I agree. I don't think pineapple. I can eat it, but I don't think pineapple. Next statement, shorter men make the best dancers. Do you disagree or agree? I agree.

You agree? Yes, I'm short. Best dancers are what, Latin? Everything. Your gravity centre is lower to the ground, so you have more power and everything. Really? Yeah. I thought the taller your word was better for ballroom,

shorter for more Latin hip-hop. You think that, but most of the very good world champions are my height, because the ground centre is lowered to the ground so they have more power to drive. Statement three. The British are better drivers than the Spanish. I definitely agree. I don't.

Who drives out of me and you everywhere when we go on and follow my trip? Yeah, because you don't let me drive, but... Why do I not let you drive? I'm not all the Spanish. I'm a different. I'm not all the English. The reason why...

That's why I'm not judging English driving by you. The reason why I panic with the Gorker because in Spain they drive on the other side. So when Gorkers... like driving on our roads. You think we're too close to the way? He goes very close to the curb. That's how you need to drive.

Very, very close to the curb. Like, it sometimes scuffs your wheel. No. And I go, yeah, I have to breathe in a lot. I'm fine. No, I think we're better drivers.

In all my years of driving, never have any, like, collision or any problem or anything like that. Neither have I. Touch water, thank you. Thank you, Jesus. Next statement. It doesn't matter how much you spend on coffee,

it all tastes the same. That's not true. No, that isn't true. For once, we disagree on something. Actually, you spend more coffee in Starbucks, and doesn't take as good as the proper barista coffee. For you, yes. Excuse me, I had to burp, then I'm so sorry if that picked up.

And it's not the same. So are you telling me the same, no? No, I agree with you. I have, because I am a bit of a coffee snob a little bit, but not to the point where I spend eight grand on a machine. But when... I know, we know that because you haven't. You're still waiting, you know?

When Uncle Clive comes around, he has it from a jar, he has instant... coffee. Don't like instant coffee. I like a pod. Do you know what it's the one thing that you do? They crack me up. So we have the coffee pots from the espresso, yeah? Because she haven't got me the coffee machine yet. Still waiting. But if we have the gardeners or builders, someone come to the house, would you like a coffee?

And I was out of having asked them. It's like, coca, you need to ask them. Oh, okay, you're not coffee. Yeah. And I'm going to make the coffee. She's like, no, no, no. Just give them the instant one. I give them the instant one. They ain't having a pot.

Yeah, but that's not nice. At least you want them to live and they were like, you know what? They were lovely. And actually, they made the best coffees. Yeah. Well, we do. Coffee's a coffee. Yeah.

I don't think a builder's fuss. A builder's team. When Peter comes to the house with your mom and you has them want a coffee here, are you making it? Because if it's your, I don't want to. That is true. My stepdad says, depends who's making it. Any guests in our house get an instant because I want the pods for me.

Yeah. He's your mom and stepdad. My mom has a team. My mom doesn't, she's not fussed about a coffee. But them pods are pricey. I ain't just wasting him on no one. No. Northerners are the funniest people.

Yes. We agree with that. 100% agree with that. They have a dark humour, sense of humour, sarcastic I like it. Maybe in all the north, the Manchester ones, maybe, that's what I like. We are a lot more dry up north. Even if it rains loads. She says, well, she's covered in sweat.

I think the northern humour is very much... Sarcastic. Yeah, quite dark in some cases. Yeah, because even in Spain, we had this... Even not me, some people that have been working in America out with like big names in the UK like comedians and stuff like that. Yeah. He would say like the like for example your sense of humor is dry and sarcastic,

but it's very different to the English, English, like. Yeah, they all think we're like Mary Poppins. Yeah, no, but the English, like it's not be English, proper like English, like Mary Poppins, you will say, their sense of humor, it's a very, I don't know, I don't feel that they have a sense of humor. They are very like, hmm. Snobby. Yeah.

Yeah, maybe like looking out of your nose. When you guys have more, like, sense of humour. Yeah. Jaffa cakes are a biscuit. No. It's soft, no? It's called a cake, isn't it? You ain't got a jaffa biscuit. Which I don't like them.

I hate the orange in the chocolate with that soft biscuit. It wouldn't be my first choice. I would have a digestive. Chocolate or plain. Both in milk or coffee. Do you know what I'm into at the minute? But you know what? The biscuit will be the shortbread.

That's what I was going to say. I'm into a shortbread. there's a biscoff and it's just awful. It's full of palm oil but it tastes good. It's white chocolate biscoff. When did you have in there? What do you mean when was I having it? I thought you'd been giving up sugar.

Any time I go and fill up with petrol. Oh wow. So you see. It was a few Sundays ago again with Uncle Clive. Secret leaf, you know? Hiding secrets. Oh yeah, you said this morning, didn't you, about the yellow flags. That's one.

There you go. You see, I give up my sugars in the only moment that I broke and it was in New York. And it was publicly because I was posting about it. And your cookies. That's what I mean from New York. Your evening meal is called your tea. I agree with that. Well, it's not.

But I just accept it now. What's he called you Spain? Dinner. Like in English, Cena. Tea is not tea. Tea is a tea. No, because you have a dinner lady in school.

You will do ask Vito again. You will see how many explains you. No, because we'll be here for two hours. You have... Lunch, breakfast and dinner. You don't have a lunch lady at school. You have a dinner lady. And she gives you dinner.

But it's not. That's your... You're breakfast. That's your Mancunian languages. Breakfast, dinner, tea and supper. If you go to the dictionary of English, it will say breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now, the northerns have created a dialect where you create the dinner is lunch. Dinner time.

And tea is dinner. That's your own business. But worldwide, people who speak English, they will go breakfast, lunch and dinner. So you need to start calling me as dinner ladies, a lunch lady. Like if I want to call it now, instead of tea, I want an apparel. You know, let's have the apparel. Do you know, every 11 o'clock every day at my grandmas, my dad's mom, on the dot, 11 o'clock, she'd go, ooh, tea and toast.

And we'd have tea and toast. Yeah, a cup of tea. A cup of tea and a slice of toast. Tea and toast time. Yeah, there we go. I love coffee. Now I'm going to call my dinner. It's coffee time and it's my dinner.

No, it's always going to be. What's for tea? What are we having for tea, mum? And then, do you want some supper before bed? And then, oh, look at that. It's dinner time. You have for your dinner, Mia? No, but...

You don't say to me what did you have for your lunch? You say, what did you have for dinner? No. I always go, how do you have your lunch? Every time. It's dinner. And then lastly, Spanish food is better than British. I mean?

Yeah, I agree. I'll let you answer you guys there. I think it is. It's more exciting. British food is brilliant. If you're hung over and you need a bit of an egg butter or a Sunday dinner, we do good Sunday dinners. Nice bit of stew.

like fish and chips against a nice seafood pie. Do you mean? I don't know. I love a Spanish ham. Against Iverigo ham. What did it happen yesterday at home when you did the shop? What did Mia? I brought the wrong ham and Mia said, mum.

I got Serrano Spanish ham. I looked for ham with a Spanish flag on. Serrano ham. I don't eat ham. So I don't know what I'm buying. I bought Spanish ham. And Gorka said, this is the wrong one. And Mia went, Mom, none of us like that ham

because it pretends to be a Spanish ham. but it's not. It's just like English ham. And I looked at them both. And I threw it and said, eat what you want. Have what you want. Next time,

you buy the ham, you buy the avocados. And on that note, we're going to wrap this up and go and do a big shop, actually. I might buy some more on the way home. Thanks.
