It's nearly our anniversary, isn't it? February. Yeah. Oh, are we getting presents or not? Well, judging by Christmas, I don't think so. Let's do it. Let's

Coming up Proximately Welcome to Lost Interstellation I don't speak like that No more dogs What would you do if you just come home When it was there I'm out

What happens last time Your Mama stayed with the dog for a day He swallowed two socks He says I will smack your bomb If you don't go to sleep It's obviously it's New Year There'll be people doing New Year New Year, new me

Till about the end of Jan and we'll out of bollocks to it I want that Mars bar She's getting on my tits today quite a few questions we will try and get through them all wow yeah thank you for getting in touch let's do this this is for me I think how did the oh no it's for the kids

how do the children manage with Gawker being away a lot when they were young when Mia was a tiny baby she didn't really bother did she because she didn't really understand it that's Tiago now it's Tiago he's got no clue bless him it's papa's home then papa's at work and that Mia now struggles more than she did, didn't she? Because she kind of grasps the concept. But the plus side is, it's what we've always known.

Yes, but you know what I think? And I realize I think it's more because, I mean, I'm not that long, like, such a long time away. Especially the last six months, I've been at home a lot because I was going only for the weekend away. But I feel like what happens is with Mia, because also she's like older now but it's like all or nothing

yeah like for example with you like that's why we have this conversation and I said to you when I'm at home they see me more than they see you and in fact this caused a loss in translation because she thought that's not true I was like no it's true because I work every day it is so because when I'm not here

they spend more time with your mom and Peter than with you also because you go at work So you stay with them in the morning, to take them to school, or if Tiago is no in nursery, you stay with Tiago. But then when you go work,

they are with your mom in the afternoon or your sister, for example. So when I come home, they are with me most of the time. And then when I need to go away for a month or two months, it's from being with me for, like, say, three months, 24-7, do everything with me. Then the next day they wake up and I'm not there.

It's not that I go to work in the afternoon. It's just I disappear. for three weeks so it's very dramatic the change from everything to nothing so I think that's quite difficult but on the flip side as well when you did first come home it's even worse she she missed the routine with nana like she said am i still going to go and see nana yeah it's like walk I said I'm with them in the morning getting ready for school and it's I leave for work at about half too so my mom does my mom picks them up from school and then I'm not home from work till late so I do like bath and bedtime normally

But the afternoon, she's with, she's at school or she's with my mum. And when Gorka first came home, she said, well, I still get my routine with Nana. But I think it's the norm for most families. I don't know any families who are all together 24-7. I mean, look at army wives. I mean, crikey, they get deployed to all places for months and months on end. It's funny because before Christmas, when she was one of the nights, you know, before she did a Christmas thing, no?

And she asked me if I was going to be able to come and watch it. and she got upset and I said, why are you upset? I was like, oh, because I don't know if you're going to be able to come in see me and I was like, yeah, but even if I can't because I'm working mommy will be there and Nana will be there. She's like, yeah, but you might not watch it.

And I said to her, but I came to watch the Harvest Festival. And it's like, and probably you were one of the only children who had mom and dad and granddad and grandmother there. She was like, yeah, I know. And I said, like, that's normal because parents have to work. Yeah. And it's very difficult for both parents

have the day off, to have the day off, to come and watch you and it's like no I know sometimes don't worry if I can make it I will make it but you will have someone there but yeah

it gets easier it comes to peaks and troughs in it with that question two what's your favourite thing to do as a family so many I mean for me

this sounds boring it's nothing been at home watching a moving yeah I love I mean that period we just have now between Christmas

and New Year where there's no nowhere to rush to you're not clock watching you can all be in your pyjamas you've got no kind of sense of time of day

that for me I genuinely love pottering about making coffee walking Benji my favourite thing is like you say in Christmas now when the kids are of school and I'm like strictly finished and I'm at home it's like if it's like every day it's a Sunday and I love like when in the morning

it's like you know when those days it's like snowing even if there's no that's in the stair but you can see it's not outside and we're making pancakes and having breakfast at home and then a coffee and the kids are playing watching teller and you just I've done this offer. One thing I've learned as a parent is I think some parents, not all of them,

but I know some parents who they think for their kids to be happy, they have to do something every single day. Like they'll book so many things in the holidays. And it costs them a fortune. It's stressful for them when sometimes, I mean, some of my happiest memories as a kid or my family just in the house, talking, having cake, having bruise. It wasn't going to the soft play or,

The theme parks, they were fun. But I think if we give, if parents give themselves the grace of thinking, do you know what, a day at home in our PJs, a bit of pick and mix, kids love that stuff as well, and it saves your money. So for me, as long as we're all together, doing nothing for me is good. When are you going to get another dog? In Tiago's three. Well, I'm putting it out there.

So next year? Yeah. we are basically we can't rescue until tiago's three and you know what i'm like with stuff so but basically before we got benjy we applied to two rescue places who were both fantastic and there was a little it was a spaniel cross wasn't it we didn't know what it was cross with and i sent gawker the picture and said you know we've got emails going and and then there was another one which was it was a staffy cross and gawker which this is the problem you like most people People said, I don't want one of them.

He's too aggressive. I don't want one. Yeah, something like pit bull. It wasn't a pit bull. It was a staffie. But Gawker, I understand they get a bad rep. They're one of the, they're the original nanny dog. I don't want him.

He doesn't want a staffie. I love staffies. My sister had one. And then I work with Bleakolt Animal Sanctuary. So of course, Bleakolt said, let us know. We can help. But on the website, it states that until a child is three, they can't just give dogs to any family.

And we get so many sent back because you don't always know the dog's background and temperament where it's come from. You don't have a family history. You don't always know. And the last thing they want is a dog being put into the care with a young kid. Something happening. The dog's sent back. The kids, you know, it's a mess. I didn't want to wait because I'm just, you know, I'm like the house isn't a home without a dog.

But we have said, me and me. Well, when he's old enough, imagine the feeling of going into a kennel, seeing a little dog looking. looking at you, like he's had a hard life. We have Benji. And say, do you know what? We will, forget everything you've been through. No. Come and live life of a king with me.

We have Benji, no more dogs. I know, imagine him with a friend. No more dogs. What would you do if you just come home and it was there? I'm out. Adios? Yes. Oh, maybe that's me out.

Oh. No more dogs. Did you not miss having Norman and Ollie at the same time? No. Or was it chaos? You used to get stress walking both. I'm very happy. Listen, we're having a dog.

I love Benji. because you want a dog. I'm happily live the life with no dogs. He would happily have one without. Can you believe he would happily have no dog in his life? And another responsibility, not someone who take care of. When you go on holidays,

we have to be responsible of where the dog stays with. They stay with me, mum? Yes. Your mom is getting older and no younger and it's a tough job for your mom. What happens last time your mom stayed with the dog for a day?

He swallowed two socks. Yeah, I had to pay a fortune for the vet to make him throw up. And it was a pair of Brats dolls, Nickas. So it's not an easy job and it's a responsibility for other people. My point is like, we love him and it's our responsibility. But because you love dogs, you don't have to put a responsibility of a dog in other people.

Your mum and Peter don't want to have more dogs. Well, Toulin's ex-wife, he's a dog walker. She has a dog business. So if everybody will go on holiday and we need us to look after three dogs. I will ask to Toulan for a review about his ex-wife's dog's skills. The next question, what's the biggest surprise you've had being a parent? and they've said mine was the constant worry. That's me.

It is true. And it's especially hard, I think, with me and out, it's fine because she can tell us what's wrong. Like, my throat's hurting, my ears are sore, my tummy's sore. When they're newborns, that first year, you're guessing everything, when they have the first rash, when they cry in their eyes out, you think, do they need to fart? Are they hungry?

Are they hot? Are they wet? You have to go through a checklist of things that could potentially be wrong with them. And that, for me, is hard. The minute they can communicate, like Tiago said to me the other day, Mommy, tummy sore. So I thought, right, he's got tummy ache.

I can deal with that. But if he was just crying uncontrollably, and you don't know why, that for me is the hardest part, that first year. For me, the constant, like, readiness, tiredness of, like, you never rest. Not as a rest in as physically, like, even, for example, starting to have a coffee,

you can not sit and have breakfast peacefully. You can't. It's constantly, like, things to do. Or like, where's you doing? Like, when you turn around, it's climbing. Yeah. And there's always something. I was on a Zoom the other day, and my phone was on silent, and it started ringing, and it was Tiago's nursery, wasn't it?

And there was like 10 people on this Zoom, and I was going, Gorka, Gorka, Gorka. And I give Gorka the phone, and they were ringing about Tiago, who was poorly. And then the same day, the mere school rung me in the afternoon, can we give her some CalPol? She's not. And I was like, oh, my God, it's a constant juggle. I think I always think with any parent,

I really do take my heart off to all of yours because it's bloody hard. But it's also rewarding. And then you want to have another one? No. I'll be fine with another dog. No dogs. Do you have a good cop, bad cop parent?

Is one of you stricter than the other? What do you think? I am the strict one. I'm the fun parent. I'm not a regular mom. I'm a cool mom. Do you know what is the funny thing? What is the far?

I don't know if I can say this on the podcast. I don't know if it's a good idea. to say it. Why? When you said to Tiago, how did you sleep Tiago? Oh yeah, no, it's funny. Very good.

Papa smacked my bomb. So basically, Tiago was going through a phase where he wouldn't sleep and touch would. We've been really lucky with both of them. They've been great sleepers. But Papa, Gorka said to him one night, he says, Tiago, if you not go to sleep, Papa smack your bomb. And he went, no. He says, I will smack your bomb if you don't go to sleep.

Anyway, he did, didn't he? Flat out. He was brilliant. I never did, just say it. No, and then the following morning, I said to him, did you have a nice boboes? I say it every day to both of them. Do you have a nice boboes?

He went, yeah, Papa smacked bum. And I said, did it? And I said, did you smack his bottom last night? He said, no, I just said I would. He's been saying it now. How many months? I don't know, three months. About three months to everyone.

He even says it when he's not here. So when he's been in Madrid at the weekends, I've said to me on a Saturday morning, do you have a nice boboos? He goes, Papa smacked bum. And he's not even in the same house. And my mum was saying, she's Jesus, Gemmer. If he's saying that to people all the time.

But you are definitely the stricter one. I'm very quick to cave. And it's not even about happy life, whatever. I just think, oh, they're not going to be little for long. He's not going to want to be rocked to sleep every night soon. He'll be like, Mom, go out my room. Just watch for tea. And so while he does want to be rocked to sleep,

I'm happy to sit with him. And then I put him in his cot and he sleeps fine. Mia still has a sleepover with me every Saturday without fail it was something we compromised on with Gorka being away she went through a phase of wanting to sleep with me and I loved it

but I just said I can't I can't have her at 6, 7, 8, 9 whatever sleeping in our bed it's not fair on us we don't sleep I used to go in my mouth when I was 12 when you were 12? Every night? No in the night like

I had on a Saturday or Sunday my dad used to wake up early to go get the newspaper and the bread for breakfast and he used to bring home like fresh baked croissons on a Sunday and he used to make breakfast and bring my breakfast to my mom in bed. Yes, you go in and eat it with them. I used to do that. When my dad used to wake up, like seven in the morning,

he used to wake me up and I used to get the last hour in the bed with my mom and they had breakfast in bed. Yeah, that's what I mean, so stuff like that, but I mean sleep in the whole night with, no, no, no. So we compromise and I said to her, I said, look, if you're good in the week and you sleep in your own bed in the week, I said Saturday night is our night, and it's still for the last what six years we've done that

so we normally get a pizza we get some pick and mix we eat it in bed and she loves it so that's what we've compromised on so yeah Gorka's the the bad cop and I'm definitely the good cop so we move into a different subject is Gemma as good cook as Gorka no

absolutely not Gorka is genuinely one of the best Chefs. I've said he needs to bring a cookbook out. I've genuinely said this because... I won't got myself a chef. You're a very good cook. You're not an average person who cooks. Like, you... Whenever there's anyone's birthday, Christmas, he makes stews, he makes soups, he makes desserts. He, like, last... This year, it was turkey crowns that you got. The year before, you did a chicken... No, it was a turkey.

It was a turkey, sorry, but you put, like, lemon and you put all the... different things in it. I mean, to see it was awful. It was making me feel sick. But all of my family have said it was the nicest turkey they've ever had. It was nice. I didn't have any. I had me nut roast. The potatoes were the best. Yeah. And so I've said a little Spankeunian cookbook, I think you need to do. Well, I made this stew, the lentils stew, you haven't even tried it. The lentil stew? I had a little bit, I tried it. It's in the fridge. You said it was a bit salty. No, I need to have a bit salt When you hit it out

Oh, you need more salt I had it yesterday, it was lovely I hit it out a little for lunch With a nice bread And then I put a little bit of olive oil on top And salt, ooh Oh nice It was lovely

What TV shows do you like? Do you like watching the same thing? You know what? We like to watch some series together It's been a long time We always keep saying We need to find a movie You have a film to watch together

We haven't have You watch Spanish shows Yeah, but I watch also series But there is nothing interesting that I want to watch. We watched the good doctor together, didn't we? Do you remember that?

That was a long time ago. And we watched these... Like I said, Papel. Yeah, Money Heist. What was that one? We watched the night storker. The night stalker. Yeah.

And we also watched Edgene together. Edgene. But recently, no. And now you're watching Tulsa King, which I like it, but I'm not going to get into it. Because I was also watching my Spanish series, so that's why. But I keep saying to you to watch Yellowstone

and you don't want to watch it. No, I will watch it, but I will watch it, but I will watch it, but I need to finish Tulsa King first. Yeah, but you said the same thing with Edgin. Every time she's watching a series, she was like, I need to finish this, and then she finished and then she goes to something else. First was like, as wives, which was the wives?

Desperate Housewives. She was watching that one. She was watching that, oh, when I finish this, I watch Yellowstone. Then she finished that, Edgin. Finish Edgin, which the one... Tulsa King. No, the other one. Something with a good cast.

Oh, the only murders in the building. Yeah. If anyone's not watched that, genuinely watch that. it's very very funny so no we don't really watch the same things do we the last film we watched together in the cinema so we watched the last

Rambo the very last Rambo when I went into Labour with the last one that we watched it was the Mission Impossible no longer ago the last yeah but the last one before Mia was the last Rambo yes and the last movie before Tiago was the mission impossible yeah what do you do with the kids when you're in the gym do they come in

with you no one stays with them no yeah so if we're both together one of us will go in the gym while the other minds the kids if we're on our own we don't really train

well I do but it's five in the morning when you're away I have to get up at half four train five till six if it's just Mia she'll come in with us she's quite

she loves working out but it's more so for me I don't like if I'm on my own I don't train I just stay with them even if I could take Mia to the gym

and I'm like we go by and not playing with her so I don't say I don't like having me back to her with all the equipment For example on Thursdays

When I pick her up Before I get Tiago She's into this like running So when it was nice weather We used to go for a run To the park Oh yeah She had a run club with her dad

But now because it's no nice weather We go at home So we go in the gym And she loves to do her little training session So she was out of your training path And I was like I would love to But I'm not in my head

I'm not going to train So I just do with you So she goes on the treadmill And the treadmill And the little like safety pin Then you clip it In case she goes back Stop

straight away so she loves to go in it and she keeps asking Papa is that fast is this level fast I'm going as fast as you and I was like oh you're going faster I'm not going faster than you she loves it yeah and then she does a little burpees and he little thing and then she asked me for introduce her oh yeah she likes doing an interview like she's in the CrossFit games yes so she loves it we do that for a half an hour yeah instead of being sat at home watching the tele or the iPad we're going in the gym and do Yeah, she does. And I remember ages ago, she's always loved coming in the gym. And I, before we were in the house, we had gym equipment in the garage. And I used to take her in there and just lie her on the floor when she was like months old. And she just lay kicking, like laughing, watching me train. So she has grown up in the gym. But I remember someone sending me a really horrible message saying, because she was about four in the gym. And a really horrible message saying, forcing your child into exercise at such a young age. you're bound to give them a disorder when they were old.

And it's literally, we have to say to her, let's not go in today, just chill. She genuinely loves it, didn't she? I was like that going up. I loved, like, sport and stuff. She loves it. But yeah, so we just kind of work around them, don't we? How much Spanish food do you cook at home and does Jim I like it? I love Spanish omelet.

I don't cook much. You don't cook a lot. I don't cook Spanish food, but it's not really Spanish food or it is Spanish food. I don't know. I just cook my food. You do a lot. I don't like to eat. So, do I don't eat or eat so.

Spanish food involves a lot of like pig food and like ham and things like that. And she doesn't eat meat really. I can't eat a little pig. You know, they're as intelligent as dogs. And as tasty as, I don't know. No, I can't bring myself to do it. When we went to Bilbao for the very first time to meet Gorker's parents,

I was a little bit embarrassed, but I was also like, no, I'm holding my own. Because I remember your mom and dad, they brought out, it was a plate full of, it was octopus. We love octopoos. Squid. Oh. It was a pig. It was just a table of carcasses. And I remember looking at it and thinking,

I can't bring myself to eat it. And then your dad brought out a dish especially and his dad made me a vegetable paella. We went to this restaurant in Bilbao. And if any Spanish listeners, you know, like Galician, like a cavernalaga, which is where they make like a pulperia, when they made the proper octopus and everything.

So we went there because we have now one near where we live, and it's amazing. So you have nice steaks, fish. octopus so at that time Gemma only eat fish we're talking like seven years ago no chicken nothing just fish to eat something yeah

because if not she couldn't eat nothing else so we went to this place and we have a nice octopus and then a steak and everything and my dad asked me what she was like oh if they just bring some potatoes with the olive oil and the paprika like the potatoes for the octopus she would love that which she did

and then she said oh we can get her some like white fish and she would say yeah yeah white fish is fine. She thought it was going to be a fillet of white fish. With a piece of cod. No, yeah, but they made this skull rodaballo, this like nice white flat fish. Incredible.

It was making on the grill, but they put it on this like tray. And when they cooked it, they ended up cooking it on the last bit of the to cooking is this pan with garlic, it's oil, with chunks of garlic. So then it boils and then the fish, throwing over the fish, cooks the fish.

They add its teeth. But it was a flat fish with the head. You could see the eye. So when that came in, she almost starts crying because she was like, I'm no eating this. And I said that, she was like, no, I don't want this. It's a fish. And my dad was like, but it's fish. And I was like, Dad, you can see the eyes.

She won't eat it. You could see its eyes, its teeth. It was just a little, I felt like putting it back in the sea. My dad was like, why not? And I was like, Dad, she doesn't need meat because she feels bad over the animals. So that's why she won't eat the fish. No, do you know what it is? Right.

We went to, we went to that restaurant. The lobsters They had lobsters in a tank And you were willing to pay for the lobsters To take them back to the sea I said how much of these lobsters And they were very expensive And I said I would buy them last four

And take them And they were like, no, you can't And I said to you, please Gorka Let me put them in the ocean People were getting them out of tanks They were in the tank A deep purple, a dark colour Coming out of the restaurant

Pink Red And there was these kind of pompous family's going I'll eat that one I'll have that one and cook it and what lobster's mate for life like you're my lobster I think do you know what I mean

they mate for life so but he wouldn't let me put them back in the ocean oh nice lobster rice oh I love it and it's more for me as well of where the food's from so if there's like I mean I've not had beef since I was in my 20s fish when we're in Spain Tenerife if it's fresh

and it's not got its eyes and teeth I can nibble but like I I picked one up in the supermarket. It said farmed in Devon. That's never even been in the ocean. I ain't eaten that. We went to this restaurant in Tenerative. Incredible.

I had one of the best meals I ever had in Tenerative. It was recommended, even a British couple that we're friends with because they go there every year. And me and their daughter are friends. So we go there with Gemma's parents and asked for. The queue was going around the corner. I was like, oh, this is good. You know it's good when it's a queue. So you get in, get a table, sat down.

and they were like, well, you just go on the queue, order what you want, and then we bring it to you. Okay, so we go there. Literally, it was like being on a fish market shop, and you just pick up whatever you want fresh. They cook and they bring it, yeah? And the mom and the parents, they wanted this like seafood rice, yeah? Yeah, my mom was like, oh, the seafood rice looks lovely.

And I was like, okay, for them too. I was like, no, no, no, I don't want to because I ordered my things, and I knew it was going to be enough and I was full with that but they ordered some bits and then the rice and they thought it was going to be one plate for each

but I thought it would be a sharing platter when you ask for a dine in Spain in those kind of restaurants is the full casserole for them too and it was a full lobster inside with a lot of like a lot of like other clams and things like this

so we ordered and of course the mom thought it was going to be like Jemma just chunks of fish in the rice or chunks of calamari in the rice and you're just eating with a spoon when they saw that cassero are arriving with all the animals

and they were like, no, I'm not eating this and I was like, what do you mean, no eating this? So I end up having the best time of my life because I ate the whole casserole of myself they couldn't believe it. Yeah, my mum said to me, she said, oh I can't bring myself to me but it's funny seeing it like that she said, seeing it like that, she said, I can't do it,

she'd feel so good. And the octopus, and such a big brain. I love octopus. Such a beautiful brain. One of my favorite things that I... My mom couldn't do it and we went back to hotel and she said

well I need room service I'm frigging starving after that When I go We don't go to spend To my parents very often No But when I go Or when I used to go

Even like years ago If I had a weekend There was only three meals That I wanted to have So my man had made sure That every day Have one of those meals One was Octopus

One was this stew With my grandma in Portugal I used to make And it's like Let's say like We call it them ranch like a ranch stew yeah yeah and it's in a big casserole did you not gonna like this so imagine in the old days it was a comfort food yes yeah the farmers or the people who was like you know hunting

yeah meat and two bench yeah yeah so it was on this big big like a casserole we put like chickpeas potato carrots a bit of pasta nice and then it has the chorizo right the pig ear in it the food of the pig in it it's good collagen though all that pork belly in a quarter of a chicken in in it and then all of that one is cooked my grandma used to take all the meats chop all the meats in small pieces and mix oh yeah it's like we used to have bone broth growing up my nan used to make it it's only just as an ad-up but i'm that's one thing with like with the lost in translation you eat very differently to me but there's no there's never any judgment are you shouldn't do this you shouldn't do that in my family i live i live with someone who eats steak i i

we'll eat chicken maybe if it's organic, free range occasionally. Sometimes you do, you do. You just when you see the pig leg in the kitchen. Yeah, when it's an actual pig leg in my kitchen, I don't like it.

But my uncle's vegan. There's a variety of different ways to eat. How about that time that I came house with a full pig head? Yeah, I didn't like that. Remember? Even the bochers didn't know what to do with it because I just wanted the skin

of the like quarter of the hair, like the nose and the ear and then I chop it. Because you don't make... If you were to have a pig as a pet, could you then kill it and eat it? Yeah, we have them in Portugal. But would you not...

Okay, so could you kill Benji and eat him? No, if it's a dog, I don't need dogs. Yeah, but if you'd had the pig... If you'd had the pig from a piglet... Yes. And it grew up... Yeah, we saw the growing up. And it grew up giving you as much love and attention

and happiness as Benji. We have pictures... You'd kill it just for that one little taste. I have pictures of me giving milk to the rabbits and then when they grow enough to be killed, we kill them and then have roast rabbits. Oh, you see, that's awful, Gawker. Because my grandma had animals.

That's awful. No, my grandma had animals that we take care of them to grow, like my grandma has two pigs, female and male. So you're just cutting out the middleman essentially. Yeah. You're doing it yourself as opposed to getting a labituary. Yeah, like my grandma had two big pigs. Yeah, if you're on a ranch and you're not going to the supermarket,

it's your own food. But I would probably starve to death because I wouldn't be able to kill it. Oh, you don't want to know how we kill it. the pigs. No, let's move on. People are just out loads of pigs and blankets. My grandma used to go, oh, you want for dinner, roast chicken, okay, so she goes to the backyard, gave one chicken, and then three hours later,

you have a nice roast chicken. I'd be skin and bone if I lived in Spain. Is there anything you swear by doing as part of your well-being? I love, I really love an ice bath, don't I? Yeah, I love so in an ice bath. Yeah, Gorka loves the heat. I like the... I love the ice bath as well, but if you had to pick one

for the rest. No. If you only had to pick one, what would you pick? But you can't I'm saying if someone said to me you can either use the sauna or the ice bath for the rest of your days I'd go ice bath I'd go sauna because you have more

benefits for your body than the ice bath I know but I like the feeling of the ice bath so if you've not got an ice bath not everyone has obviously you can fill your bath with cold water

but you're in it for a few minutes so that's going to waste it my recommendation would be a cold shower on top of your vagus nerve put it on the back of your neck for about 20 seconds turn round on the front of your chest 20 seconds done

I have a hot shower first finish with that and just clock how you feel differently because obviously it's New Year there'll be people doing New Year, new year, new me till about the end of Jan and there'd be like all bollocks to it I want that Mars Bar, do you know what I mean?

But yeah, I like cold plunges I like cold showers and I try and do it at least four times a week you don't do it every day because your body will get used to it how do you make sure Tiago and Mia stay in touch

with their Spanish culture? I mean we speak in Spanish at home we watch a Spanish still I speak to my parents. Yeah. Whenever we go to Spain, me, I was a little flamenco dress.

Listen to Spanish music. A little castanets. She loves to listen to Spanish music. Super Australia. Australia. Australia. She loves Spanish artists. Yeah.

We do try. It's difficult, but again, it's just regular FaceTime, regular contact. She always speaks about the Spanish flag, don't she? Yeah.

I also, I'm not the most of Spanish, Patriot Spanish person. No, you don't do. I'm very like, I think because I move up. way very young. I'm very multicultural. I'm not like, you know. Yeah, yeah. We try. I don't know how to, not how to speak, but I'm not like a person, you know, Spain, Spain, Spain. Because I think

because I move away very young, I'm very like, you're half and half. No, I don't know how to say, like, like intercultural, you know what I mean? Yeah. Because I've been living away from Spain since such a young age that you end up just losing also that. See, my dad's side were all from Dumfries in Scotland. So we were in Scotland. So we were in Scotland. at least three times a year growing up. We had to go to Scotland. We had to go to Castle Douglas. We had to go and see all the Loch Lomond,

the Loch Ness monster, and I loved it. But it was my dad. My mum said, I had no choice. She said your dad always wanted to go. I have this conversation with some of my friends, especially like the guys from the street, like they're Italians or whatever. They are like every five minutes,

every opportunity they have to go back to Twitter. They go. Oh, there's nothing like being at home. Or like, you know, when I speak with Arduino, I'm like, I don't feel that way. No. Do you mean? But I think, because,

because I feel like I move away so young that I'm not like... You're just used to it. Yeah. Should we do one more question? Yes, I do this one. Okay. Can I choose? We often hear Gemma speaking like Gorka.

Can Gorka speak like Gemma? Oh yeah. Can I speak like her? What do you mean? Can you do my accent? I do go to my house. Hey? I do go to my house.

Me house? My house. Can you say... My calf. It's my calf. Can you say, do you want a coffee gorks? You're not coffee. That's it

That's it Another one Say Welcome to Lost in Translation Welcome to Lost in Translation I don't speak like that I don't speak like that Did you think before

She's getting on my tits today Yeah you're getting right on my tits I say that a lot Before you move to England Did you expect us all to speak like Mountie Poppins I didn't know about accents No more like the rappers

The rappers Yeah the English that I used to hear is more the English music. English rappers? Who's in English? Not like the rappers. I mean, like the English. For example, the American accent is where you listen in the music.

Right. Oh, like you snoops and stuff. Yeah, so like every single, like you listen to Beyonce or I don't know. Taylor Swift. Like, would you listen to English? Like even British people, when they sing some of them, they sing like American English. That's true. Because it's the commercial English to the music.

Do you make sense? Yeah. So you thought we'd be like that? Yeah. Because sometimes, who was it? other day, it was someone being interviewed. Or in the movies, for example, a lot of actors are English or Scottish,

but then in the movies they put the American accent. Yeah, but there was someone being interviewed an Irish actor, and you went, is that Scouse? You said, what did you say? Was he like a... Is he a Scouse accent? And I said, that's not Scouse, no.

Where's he from? Birmingham? And he was Irish. Is he not the guy from the movie, how is he called? Is it Killian Murphy? I can't remember. The other one.

The one, the one, who did the movie with the blonde girl from Australia. No idea. But it was, yeah, so you struggle with the act, you thought, because I always assume, I mean, Americans all assume we speak like Mary Poppins. I like the accent, like Mrs. Poppins. Yeah, you like posh. Our agent speaks posh, don't she?

May I go to the toilet, please? That's a bit more, Aguini. Mother, may I go to the toilet, please? But there's loads of different accent. Yes, mother. I personally love the Mancunian accent. I like the Spanish one. You like the Spanish one.

But it's like me with the speak Spanish. Do you think everybody speaks like me? Because there's Spanish accents. So, for example, my Spanish is okay, but I love like Colombian accent when I speak Spanish. Yeah, they sound a bit more dirty. It's not dirty, like soft. Is it not soft? What's the Al Pacino one in Scarface?

Tony Montana, I like that accent. I think he's Cuban. Cuban, I like that. Yeah. He says, like, say hello to my little friend. That's what he says, doesn't it? I'm talking to me. You're talking to me.

Thank you so much for your, um, For your questions on that note. Can you say goodbye like me? Can you say goodbye like me? Yeah. Can you say if he dies, he dies? If he dies, he dies. Oh no.
