This week, Gemma’s “wedding dress” at the Pride of Britain caused chaos online, Gorka missed curfew after one too many drinks, and poor Benji didn’t cope well with Bonfire Night. We're here debating sweaty socks on the table, a wild “monster-in-law” listener dilemma, and they find out something brand new about each other as they play a hilarious game of Two Truths and a Lie that exposes Gorka’s biggest fear (spoiler: it’s furry).Find us on socials @lost.in.podcastGet in touch with us at [e-mail]

Coming up. Proximamente. Buenos days. It's like... Oh gosh, that's going to be awful. I hope she doesn't do that. Everybody needs to know how annoying it is to eat with sweaty socks on your table. Back off, bad guys.

I was going to bed feeling like shite. But if you're watching this, stop doing that. Yeah, you look like shit. You look like this. You look like that. I actually thought I looked sick. Mother. Can I just say something?

Dad, stop. So we were recording this on a Thursday and a few days earlier we were off at the Pride of Britain weren't we? And it was manic. It's always chaos at the Pride of Britain. It's really, really lovely.

And in fact, someone I know won an award. I know. It was Giovino. So basically I interviewed a guy called Giovino from Manchester a few years ago for this podcast actually when it was The Overshare. And he is incredible.

I told you about him, didn't I? He's a PT, changing lives. And I said to him on the day, you need to be put up for a Pride of Britain, Javino. He was like, nah, no, no. I said, honestly, you really do need a Pride of Britain award. Cut two.

I was sat there. He only went and won an award. I know. I remember you were so excited. I was so happy for him because he's so lovely. Yeah. And what he does is so amazing. Yeah.

And then Ryan, our stylist friend, Ryan, he got our outfits. It was a little bit of confusion with the outfit. wasn't there? I was going to wear... More your outfit than mine. Yeah. And of course, you got the online.

Yeah, you look like shit. You look like this. You look like that. I actually thought I looked sick. I was supposed to be wearing a lovely, like a brown... It was going to have a brown corset outfit made for me. And that was the plan. And then bless Ryan, the person he was getting it from, let him down massively.

And he was so stressed, bless him. He was like, Gem, we've not got a dress. We've not got the dress. And I was like, don't worry about it. I always say to him, he always actually genuinely says I'm the most chilled out client because when it comes to fashion, I'm genuinely not fussed. As long as I've got something, I will wear it. There was no like...

Sometimes you do chill. I know, but he said some people would have gone like full-on diva and kicked off. And I was like, it's fine, I wear whatever, it doesn't matter. I said, worst case, I just don't do the carpet. I just go to the awards. I know, we were thinking, if we just stay here, go for a restaurant and dinner. Yeah. And that's it.

but he got me a lovely dress and it was like a it was all white and it was fitted at the top and all like lace at the bottom and a few people message me to say I'd purposely planned to wear a wedding gown

to steal attention from the nominees I mean imagine having that in my mind imagine me having that in my mind it's very you are yeah that's something that you will come up with in fact you were like three months ago planning that

how can I steal the attention how can I steal the line light is in fact you didn't even do we didn't even do the red carpet like interviews or anything like that we were on the last 10 minutes to just go straight in and I nearly slipped because it was wet that's how much prep we had and I was actually I remember

we were just stopping for pictures like we always do but because it started raining I was like let's go inside because it's like raining quite badly even someone's like look I don't get stressed and I'm like no I'm not getting stress I don't want to get like Drainte. It doesn't bother me. Yeah. I was the least bit concerned about anything with that. And also what three me was a lot of people were saying I chose to wear a bridal dress. How do any of them know that's what dress? I wore a trouser suit. I was chief bridesmaid for my sister. And my bridesmaid outfit was a trouser suit. I wouldn't wear a wedding dress like that when we get married. Oh, you're wearing trackies. Yeah. It would be the complete opposite. So I always think just because someone says,

that's what I would wear for a wedding. So obviously we're not married yet or haven't even gone married like people thought. So now you're talking about you said it won't be your kind of dress. What would it be your kind of dress? My kind of wedding dress, I like the idea of having like a lace kind of fitting. Like body like suit like tight, yeah.

Fitted lace body suit but maybe with like fitted trousers and there's a little skirt on the back. Fitted trousers? No, honestly, I'll show you a picture. I know it's not traditional but again, no, not. like I'm trying to think there's a picture of someone have seen who's doing it I know what you

mean you always what she means is like like like for example this part it's like a nice like like when it has like a hard shape yeah so then your boobs and you're like how you call this from the boobs yeah like your cleavage and maybe fitted maybe fish tail maybe tight to the heel it's like a court like a corset that comes in the body so gives you the curve then opens a little little bit on your hips to give you a pastel tight and then and then opens up at the bottom and underneath your bum cheeks it opens up into like a nice tail with a split in the back or in the front so it's all like

hanging in the bag. I basically wouldn't wear a big white gown for a wedding because if you're in it all day it ain't comfy. Well you will wait no because what you will do is I would think you will wear that dress for the wedding and then you know how sometimes the tails you can attach the tail or not in layers then after for the evening for the party

you have the same body style into like a just short dress and you just go out. Me for example I will wear the suit and then take my jacket and just party. Exactly. I just want to be comfortable. And but I would love to say that amount of thought went into my Pride of Britain dress. But if you could have literally seen us 20 minutes before heading down, I was sat eating a bowl of hummus with my feet up in a dressing gown.

And you were running around in just a white vest and a pair of track. I remember that it was like 6.15 and I wanted a coffee. So I went downstairs. They have this like in the hotel. There's like a lunchroom where you can go for coffee. I went down the lift. Literally, my hair was like everywhere, apart on the right way.

Everybody was taking pictures, dress, tails, suits, bow ties, long dresses. It's a big event. And I was just on the slippers, a vest, going to the coffee, to get a coffee. I think we liked you, Emma. She's like, it's okay, it's fine. I get the least stress at these events, genuinely.

It's the best way to be. But it was really good, and the nominees were fantastic. The awards were really good, and it was great for you to catch up with all the Strictly lot as well. So, yeah, it was a busy old week. And traveling, we had to travel back separately, didn't we? You had to go back, because you had parents' evening for Mia.

I know my first parent evening. Your first parents' evening. I didn't even know how the teacher was called. Yeah. What? I knew the name, but I just pronounced it like wrong way. No, okay. But she did well, didn't she?

Yeah, she's amazing. She did very well. She's school counselor at the minute, Mia, for her class. So she's very chuffed in herself. And I got to sit down, and she was so excited. she put her little tray with her whole her books I was looking at all the things it was just so cute

like her writing her drawing it's just amazing it is really good and do you feel awkward though because when I went to it last year you sit on a chair the teacher's on a chair which is for the kids

so you sat down and your knees are like under your chin because the chairs are so small I was like this yeah that's how you yeah I remember last year when I went I remember saying to them Did they not have, like, grown-up chairs for us? And she said, no, she said they put us on these little things.

It's cute, it's funny. And this episode goes out on a bonfire night. So when you guys listen to this, we'll probably be prepping for a bonfire night somewhere as well. Benji's bonfire. Oh, yeah. That didn't go down well, did it? There was loads of fireworks going off near us at the weekend. And he was so frightened, he actually vomited.

Oh. It was awful. I remember you telling me. I was doing the Spanish show, and you were telling me. I had to, like, wrap him up. But then he started barking. at them. So I think in the end they were like pissing him off a bit. He went from being frightened to like, come on. So hopefully, someone said to me to start playing firework

noises on Alexa, you know, just to get it going. So question, obviously, I mean, I kind of like know it's bonfire. I always amaze me because I don't thought of that at this time of the year. But if there is anybody, for example, like my friends or my parents from Spain, anyone else who is not from the UK, what is bonfire? Bonfire night is because Guy Fawkes tried to blow up houses of Parliament So he just basically tried to blow it up And he got caught and it didn't happen And then so to kind of remember that

They used to, instead of in blowing the parliament up They have bonfires and you normally throw a guy fawks Like a bit of a scarecrow type thing Throw that on the fire to burn him I mean I don't know any bonfire that still throws a guy Fawkes on But that's what it's all about bonfire night So basically it's another UK thing to justify having a party in a peace Yeah I mean I've not celebrated bonfire

Since we've been together you've never seen me celebrate bonfire And it's because I've always had dogs So my last bonfire was when I was genuinely a kid I used to go to Heaton Park, a big part near us On my dad's shoulders with your toffee apple Watching the fire and the fireworks But since having Norman and Olli And obviously now Benji

I don't like leaving them on their own on bonfire night So I've just never been. Mia goes to one. Mia went to one with our kids. She went with my sister Nina last year. But I've always stayed in with the dogs. Yeah, so for example, we do something similar in Spain, but this is, for us, it's in summer.

Okay. So we do it in San Juan. San Juan's supposed to be beautiful, isn't it? Yeah. So San Juan, we do it is on the 23rd of June, yeah? And basically, by that time, the 3rd of June, is when the old school is finished. Like you finish your school, primary school, high school.

you used summer holidays and also the 21st of June is when the summer solstice starts right yeah so in the old days the summer solstice it used to indicate the beginning of the new year yeah yeah because our calendars don't get me started on that rabbit all our calendar is completely wrong if we would go with the sun circle and the thing in the 21st of uh 21st of june it will be the beginning of the new year calendar yeah so that's why it's the longest day and the shortest night of the year. So in Spain on the 23rd, I think it's the 23rd of June

is when we do San Juan and basically in every beach like in the coast or if it's more in the inside it's probably most popular in the seasides I think is where we do this massive bonfires on the beach with like big chunks of wood and every people person go there

and the friends go around there you can have drinks and sell But kind of like you celebrated the end of the old year and they started in the new year. Like, for example, when I was in high school and if I passed the high school year, my mom allowed me to throw like the books and the schoolwork. Your school books on the fire? Yeah, for example, the old ones that can be reused. Yeah.

With all the notes and everything, kind of like celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of New Year. Or if you have something that you can want to get rid of or forget, you just throw it there. Pictures of your exes. Kind of things like that. You forget it, you know what I mean? Like all done shoes and stuff like that. Yeah. So you do that and then starts the beginning of the new year and it's massive.

It's beautiful, yeah. Oh, nice. Because it's also in the summer. So you don't do anything on the 5th of November at all? No. Oh, well, maybe this year. Because that's UK, you know, Spanish, remember? Yeah, no, but I was just wondering if it's just, it's something that you do different,

but you just don't do it at all. No, no. Just work. It's a normal day in Spain. Oh, there you go. Yeah. The difference between UK and a Spanish. when it comes to bonfire night.

So this is called Lost in Translation, this podcast. And for those who aren't aware, for anyone new listening, the reason it's called that is because many things in our life do get lost in translation, which I think we both use as our get out of jail advantage cards occasionally. If any of us trip up or do something wrong in the house, say, oh, sorry, I didn't understand. Sorry, I didn't hear. Sorry, I didn't know what you mean.

we do say that to each other. That's why I don't want to hear to speak Spanish. And the producers know what's coming up in every episode. We genuinely don't. So we find out in real time, like you guys do. We try and listen and don't judge. Yes. Maybe in the car on the way home, we might judge.

But in here, it's a safe space. So we go through basically what's annoyed us about each other in the week. And you guys get to tell us which one is right. So it's very honest. It's unfiltered. It's real reactions. So last week, I said what annoyed me? is that Gorka didn't take the bins out in the rain on a Friday before going to the airport.

So I had to do it with the kids 8 o'clock at night. It wasn't great. And Gawker said he didn't like the fact that I leave things on the table. I've been complaining about paining my foot and he had to end up rubbing my feet. I had plantar fasciitis and he said I was complaining too much. So we discussed it. We put it to you guys. And 60% of people agreed with me.

me? Well, thank you. Can I just say? What? Can I just say something? Yeah, you have two million followers. So? So, of course, the majority... So how about followers? The them two million followers didn't listen to that episode. It's about who's right and wrong in the air. So more people is going to agree with you. No, they won't. Yes, they will. My, you could say my following's bigger, so more people will put me down and slag me off. No. It was genuine. Because everybody, no, because everybody will agree with you. Every person knows how annoying it is to put the bins in or out with kids on your own in the dark, in the rain. That's the bottom line.

Everybody needs to know how annoying it is to eat with sweaty socks on your table. There you go, you see? Are they matching today, actually? Oh, no, they're not. No, you see again, one more time. Talking about loss in translation and debates, remember we talk about the gift and you say like, blah. Your birthday gift?

Yes. I've still not getting my birthday gift from September. Well, I go away. I decide what I want. I just know it. What do you want? It's a camera. and you've already got cameras

new one why do you need a new camera you've got two cameras three cameras different one what's different about this one no I don't have three have two unless it can

take a picture and bring the image to life and physically walk into the house or physically turn into something edible that's no different from the other cameras it can do

the content that you need to be done for you no so why so you want me to buy something for you that you're going to sway by saying I will also use it no you want you use it I will I will

use it to do your stuff. How much is it? It's not expensive. I just don't trust you at all. It's standard. We'll see. Phones have cameras. Yeah, and every time that you film your phone,

you ask me to film it. I know, I'm terrible at filming content. Debates this week, would you like to go first? No, you go first. You'd probably know what mine is, because I'm genuinely only just speaking to him properly. So, the Pride of Britain Awards, I had work the day after.

I had a big day of work then I had to be up really early and we'd said all the long we'll be respectful of the awards the awards normally finish around 10 7 till 10 and then we'll go to bed skip the after party have a nice night together but in the awards there's loads of people it's like full of people you've worked with past and present it's dead nice I saw a few people

and you got we were all sat with the Strictly lot weren't we and we're having a good catch up obviously I'd dance with Aliash and him and Jeanette were there And after the show, when I said to him, Oh, we're going to bed Because he was like, when I'm with his old mates He said, oh, I might just stay up I'll have one drink, I'll be about an hour or so

And this was at what, about 10-ish? It'd be about an hour or so. So I was like, all right, okay. He went for this drink for about 10 o'clock. It was 10.30. I woke up, about half one, quarters of two, I woke myself up. Nowhere to be seen.

So I text you saying, where are you? Well, in non- fairness, I keep saying, I need to leave. I need to leave. He kept saying that to who? To all the guys I need to go. I said an hour and it's already an hour and a half. He came back to the room.

It was about quarter past two in the morning. And he came back to the room, woke me up. Well, you were awake because you were texting me. Yeah, wondering where you were. What I was going to be? I don't know. What did you think I went to run a marathon? I don't have a clue.

But all I knew was, it was the early hours of the morning. I was wide awake. And then my alarm went off at half six, so I hadn't slept. And then I had to do a full day's work. I may as well have gone to the after party and gone wild because I felt like I was hung over the whole day even though I didn't drink. That's even worse.

That's what I mean. I felt shocking and when I went to the job, the hair and makeup part, I said to me, she went, are you okay? You look really tired. I said, you know what, I'm not okay? I said, I feel and look horrendous through no fault of my own.

But you have a proper sleep, I don't get away you're tired. I didn't have a proper sleep because I had six hours. Because you had a drink, you were snoring. You snore when you've had a... The last time you got drunk

was my birthday last November, right? So that's how long it's been. Yes. So you had drinks. You're terrible. You can't handle your drink. I mean, I'm the last person to speak. I can't handle me drink.

Three, and I'm gone. But you were snoring so loud because you'd had a drink. So I was awake. So I literally had about three hours sleep. And then you got home in the morning. You had to go to a dentist department, actually. That's gross. I bet your dentist was like me.

No, he didn't say. He was like, you smell of tequila. He didn't even notice anything. I was fresh. And I didn't get home until about 10 o'clock that night, did I? So that's my annoyance, being woken up in the middle of the night. Well, you woke me out when you came home and decided to, and I bet you did it on purpose. You came home at 10.30 and decided to undo the luggage with the lights dry on.

No, it's because I worked to put a washing. And I was assuming, but I couldn't say anything because I was like, I have no right to send nothing to you after last night. So go get it, swallow it. What's mine for you? Well, to be honest, my money doesn't really match up because, you know, after that, I agree with you. Yeah. Would you have been a night at me if I woke you up?

Oh, yeah. But probably I would have stayed with you anyway. No. And I'm the first one who I was going to bed feeling like, shite, she's going to be upset. And I know it. And I'm not saying anything. I wanted to live earlier.

I keep saying, I need to go. I need to go. But they was like, no, just five minutes. Like, no, I said to her one hour. I keep saying that. I said to her one hour. It's been four. Not four.

What's mine? Well, yours is a noise. me when all the time you and your five minute no voice notes with your friend and you play them and you because you understand them you always play the voice notes like times one or two so they go super fast yeah because they're like seven minutes long that's great if you're on your own but imagine when you have that in the car with a volume up to be able to hit it and I'm there one I don't care about the conversation because I don't know what you're talking about two I don't understand because she's super fast. And three, Laura's voice, your friend, it's so high

pitch. So times one, it's even worse. Like, it's like, we love a voice now. Yeah, but I understand everything she's saying. Yes, but I understand this. That's what I understand when you speak Spanish. When you're talking Spanish, that's what I but when I play a Spanish voice note times one in the car times two, two point five sometimes one point five or two never just because I think one

the only time I can play in the car is because I can't play in front of the kids because you know how many times Laura swears she swears a lot in voice notes you can play when I'm not there also or you can put it like this no don't put the phone to your ear I never do that I don't trust the did did did did did well it's not very pleasant you know in the car

when you have an hour journey and for an hour it's back and for our voice notes and also you know what she also does she also plays her own voice note like I always go Gemma why you listen to your voice note do you just send the voice note

so you play also your three minute voice note times 1.5 to listen it so then it's like I need to make sure I've said everything I need to say and anything I've missed out I can send on the next one great so anyway

but I agree my one is worse Yeah Yours is worse this way Well we'll see It's up to you guys Let us know It's lost dot

In dot podcast Or lost in translation At bowermedia. comod at UK Does anyone else Love a voice note like me That's all I do now I don't text or WhatsApp really

I voice note I love it So please do let us know We'll solve a little dilemma For you next I think So we solve a dilemma for you guys, a Gawker and Gemma dilemma. And this week, it just says it's from someone called E. That's all they've put.

I mean, you chug with this one, to remain an ominous. Send your dilemmas, by the way, to Lost in Translation at bowermedia. We will pop that on the screen. So this week it says, hi, my mother-in-law has the title, Monster in-law, simply because she She is a monster when she wants to be. She's rude and just awful at times. This woman buys my husband's clothes that are two sizes too small. So her son, no?

Yeah. And if he says that's too small, do you have the receipt? She says, no, no receipt, but I'm sure if you lose weight, it'll fit you. That's not very nice. Well, if he's your son, it's fine. She buys me things too little and says gain weight and it'll fit. I'm a size 10. I'm tall with a slim build.

She bought me a size 14 bikini. I told her about it, and she said, well, I'm sure you will get fat and fat and fit in it. Oh my God. I've also got a six-year-old daughter who's tall so she wears seven to eight. That's what I used to do when I was six. Instead of wearing seven, instead of buying a sevens to eight, she buys a five or six. Again, no receipt. I can't take anything back. And when it's spoken about, she says, I'm sure you'll find use for it. How can I approach this and bring it up to her? I mean, I won't even. It's just a, it's a very weird thing for her to do because she's spending money on something that ultimately isn't going to get used. You could just say to her,

Do you know you spend the money for nothing? Yeah, I would just say when it comes to buying stuff, can you just buy us a gift card for whatever shop you think are getting us for, for our birthdays? Just get us the gift card and we'll get it ourselves because otherwise it's going to charity because we can't use it. I don't think she's doing that anyway. She will be able to do that.

I think she will keep keeping the clothes. So what I would do is when she gives you the clothes, you straight away, you look at them, you know the size is wrong, just in front of her, just put them straight on the bin. Not in the bin. Yes. I'd just say this. Don't leave them in the bin after.

Then you take them out. But just in front of her, when you open the gate, you're like, oh, thank you. Sad is the wrong size and put them on the bin in front of her. So then she might go like, oh, you know, instead of then give her the pleasure of going to her like, you got the wrong clothes and she will give you the answer, well, maybe lose some weight or maybe do this. Just go straight on the bin. And she will be like, it's like therapy shock, you know. I'll do that.

It's kind of like, yeah, that's what Spanish do. You're just straight to. I'd just say, thank you very much straight in the bin. I'd just say, can you get us a gift card next? Because these aren't just being used. But there must be another reason why she's doing that. She clearly wants to get on her nerves. She clearly wants to get on her nerves.

But it's odd that she'd do that to her son as well because you'd think. See, we're lucky in a way because, I mean, you get on with my mom and Peter really well, don't you? Yeah. They are lovely, my mum. and big sands and pets and your mum even though I've only met her in terms of

with her speaking Spanish and me speak in English she's so nice and we get on and we message I message your dad nearly every day he's always messaging me every single morning

Dad stop no it's nice he always Buenos days and sends me a little picture or three minutes video playing the guitar yeah he sends me videos of himself playing his guitar sometimes you didn't see

for the kids though it's not just for me Sometimes it's the wrong angle. You don't even see him. You just see his neck and the top of the guitar. Bless him. I think we'd get on anyway. I mean, I'm always saying to him, if there's anything touchwood, there hasn't been for ages,

if there's anything wrong with the kids, I always ask my mum, and then I'll always say to you, ask your mom, what does your mom think? But I suppose when it comes to in-laws, we're okay with that because I can't understand your mom and she can't understand me.

Yeah, I mean, I think it will be a place for him to say something. He should be saying something to his mom, yeah. If your mom was treating me badly, would you say something? Yeah. I would be like, yeah. What would you say like just? I will, the F word.

Oh, you can't say that to your mother? Yes, I can't. I'd get a right slap if I said that to my mom. My mom said to me, they are your family. We are part of, we are your family, but they are your family. Do you mean? So, and my mom also did that, for example, my mom tried to say something.

She will go, whoa, we don't step in over the line. You're my mom They are my family Yeah That's when I said Do you know what I mean Yeah You see with my

Growing up with my mum Did your mum used to smack you If you were naughty Yeah But I would never raise For example It's weird Because like

I've never Will raise Or my mom Never raise your voice To my mom Not even the voice You know When you're having an argument

Even now If I have in a conversation Let's say We go Christmas Or whatever We're having a conversation And my dad is getting In my nerves

I would like, oh, just leave me alone. Yeah? Like I'm 35, just leave me alone. Or stop with my mom, I will never do that, even now. No, I've never done that. Mom, it's fine. I will sort it out. I will never go, oh, listen, that?

Oh. And is that because you respect, thing God, because you get battered for it? Because it's my mother. Yeah. Mother? Mother. It's my mother. Hello, mother.

Hi, mother. I'm not Ed Geith again. Do you what I mean? Yeah. My dad is my dad, but I will go just, in Spain, we do a lot of, Oh, the earth. You do that to me sometimes. I once flip my mum the rod, I give her the middle finger.

I must have been about 16, 15. Is that why he's been now? 15. And I did it when her back was turned, I went like that. But there was a mirror. And she saw it. Oh, my gosh. She turned around.

They're looking her eye. And I went to run up the stairs. And she chased me up the stairs. So right at the top of the back of my leg, and I went, oh! never did it again ever ever again so me with my grandma with my grandma my mom's mom I've never with my granddad my when I used to go because my mom used to send me to Portugal for months in summer to my granddad it's the same thing to my dad like whatever he says whatever

my grandma never and my grandma we have a farm yeah so we have olive trees and you know in the olive trees they have a massive trunk you know like the roots they're big but on the bottom near the grow up they have the little leaves growing up yeah yeah so my grandma had always this thin like a little branch from olive tree very thin about this size yeah she used to use that and the point is very thin so it used to be so when you used to see the olive tree down the thin you know you know if she wapped you with that it's like if i don't know like a little string oh and she only did it in your calves nowhere else she used to go like that and go like and ooh that used to burn

and you knew then not to mess about you just see it when you see you're sorry yeah and with my daddy my dad never shouted at me ever he just used to tell me he was disappointed in me if I did something wrong

and that was worse man I used to feel horrible he used to say you really really let me down I'm so disappointed I mean times have changed now though aren't they people they don't do anything like that anymore you know thankfully

no one's being whipped but I don't think and the naughty step works either I think, you know, if your kid's been naughty, you go, go and sit on that step and think about what you've done. They're not thinking about what they've done. They're thinking about what they're having for tea, what they do at school, what they're going to do next.

So it's just, that's the whole parenting thing. It's so tricky, isn't it? Anyway, we've digressed from E. So my advice would be, just say to her, stop wasting your money, get us a gift card because the stuff's going to charity. Gorkers would be straight in the bin and tell your... In front of her.

And tell your hobby in front of her to say, mom stop doing this because it's just it's not on and it's not good for your daughter as well to be thinking that a clothes don't fit her do you know what I mean if she's putting clothes on and they never fit her that's not going to be good for her long term is she by is she maybe because she has a trauma with herself and she's buying herself clothes or maybe she has a trauma with the size and everything is passing into them well that's what I mean you don't want it to be passed down to the little girl it's the last thing she wants but if you're watching this stop doing that yeah buy proper size clothes

Thank you. Thank you for your dilemma as well. And maybe the listeners can help you out. Like, how can you deal with it? What would you do? Lost in Translation at bowermedia.com. Or at lostin.com. What would you do if you didn't get on with my parents? Or, for example, I didn't get on with your parents.

If you didn't get on with my parents. Yes. You probably won't get on with me either. Because like... You shouldn't see all the dogs. Yeah, no, because I've... My mum's met guys who I've thought they could be a bit a dickhead here. And I've met my

mum when they've left and she's gone, what are you doing with him? And I've thought, confirmed dickhead. So then I've broke up with them. Okay. Yeah, it's like, if Mia, well, when Mia brings a partner home, if you don't like them. In 25 years? If you don't like them and what do you think she's going to say? Do you think she'll say, sorry my

dad don't like you by or do you think she'll say dad, I love him, you have to deal with it. Oh gosh, that's going to be awful. I hope she doesn't do that. Oof. That made me sick there. I know. Move. No, let's move on. Move on.

Let's play a game. Yeah. Let's put some laughs. So today's game is a little bit different. It's called two truths and one lie. And we've each got two truths about ourselves and one lie. And the other one has to guess which one is the lie. So do you want to go first?

I just travel with this one, you know? I did. Because I thought, she knows everything. So I don't know how I don't know everything Almost everything Go on then Watch 30s So give me three

Three occasions And I'm going to guess Which one's the lie So I go straight away Okay So I wanted to be a doctor When I was a kid I'm scared of heights

And my favorite animal Are cats Oh I know that one You've made that That's you need to be more creative I just don't know I know you're frightened To death of cats

Yes So that's true I say my favorite animal Oh your favorite animal Is a cat So that's the lie, because he's frightened to death of cats, like, embarrassingly so. We went on holiday to Greece, and we were sat outside a restaurant, and there's loads of stray cats. Like, it's awful.

It breaks my heart and dogs. So I was getting, ordering food, chopping the food up, and keeping it to take back to their villa for the cats. And so I became known to the cats. She's nice. She's trustworthy. She's the one with the food. So then they were surrounding our table, weren't they? And Gorka had to leave the restaurant.

Literally, I got the cold sweats. You went sweaty, you went clammy. I thought you had food poisoning. She was like, you're okay? And I was like, no, there's a cart next to my food. Like, yeah, it's a kitten. And I was like, it's a cat. This is when I found out his fear.

He hadn't told me. And I said, oh, you take that cat away? Or I will leave? My wife's like, I'm scared of cats. And she was like, that's why you sweat. And I was like, yes. So literally, like, he stood up, left the restaurant. and left her dead

and the waiter was like what's happened everything okay she was like yeah he has that allergy to cats I told him he was allergic because I thought

I can't say he's been that frightened he's physically left a restaurant but you got attacked by one didn't you that's where the fear comes from in fact the day we went on a house

he was a cat and I literally didn't go in room yeah who were viewing a house and there was a black cat in one of the rooms and he wouldn't walk in the room no

but it's I mean I understand you were a bit traumat from one one wrapped itself around his arm when he was having It was on the sink

No, I hate it I literally, if I'm walking on the street and there is a cat in the same side of the street of me I will cross the road to don't go on the cat Well, with the sanctuary where I work at Bleakult were doing a new cattery and I went down And I said to him, do you want to come down to me

And he wouldn't come down? No I said it's going to help but it's a new cattery, it's this and that I mean I'm not the cat's biggest fan Don't get me wrong I would rather be in a room full of any breed of dog than cats. For me, the cats, the very unpredictable. My grandma had one, T.C.

And he'd sit on your knee and it'd be fine stroking you. But when he'd add enough, rather than just get off your knee, it'd turn around to you and go like... Yeah. And I'd be like, whoa, whoa, what the hell? Have you seen those videos on Instagram?

Swiping you. When there's a video, the dog is there just like chilling, watching the teller, and the cat is next to the dog. And actually, the cat is the annoying one. And then I don't know where the cat goes and goes. and punches the dog and the dog's like,

what was that for? Yeah, that's what my grandma's cat used to do. So it was the unpredictable. Like with the dog, if a dog's not happy with you, it knows, it takes itself away, its tail goes,

but with a cat, but saying that, if I saw the ones like we saw on holiday that was starving and hungry, I will happily help them. And you're starving, which sometimes makes it even worse. I did it in Tenerife as well.

Do you remember? And the waiter told me off. Yeah, you go to all off, yeah. The waiter told, he stopped feeding these cats. Yeah. And I felt like saying, well,

out for them then help them they need help but remember i told this year and of course i get a you in a five-star hotel you don't want to be having your breakfast outdoors with street cats coming around you people will be complaining but remember i told you last holidays i went for a walk remember i went to push the promo and with me around and one of the backsides of one of the streets of the hotel near the golf area they have built these like sheds and it's just like a street cats like under control something like that

yeah it's like a little hope for them yes it was like a street cat but they are like they take care of them and it was like a little wooden hob

with like little pots for the water
