Coming up
Proximaement
They'd be saying
My great grammar
created Gem and Tonic
created the word piping
And my great granddad
Didn't know what thumbing
in her softie was
I can tell you
Three conversations that I had with you
And I say things
And you just
I finish
And you're like
Oh have you seen this dog
She suggested
I dressed up as the beast
From Beauty and the Beast
No offense, no judging
Eh?
We've had a good six months run
but this is where it ends
and then I play some Disney music for you
as you pack your bags and tottered off
Oh
Hello
Or as Gorka would say
Buenos days
Buenos Aires
Hello
How are you
Welcome to Lost in Translation
How are you
Welcome to Lost in Translation
Hope everyone's good
Thank you for tuning in to another
Episode
Which number is this one
Oh I've no idea
I've lost track
Forty-eight.
46.
Forty-six.
Almost your age.
Almost.
No, I'm 42 nearly.
It's your birthday on Friday, isn't it?
I know.
Your birthday this week.
He excited?
No.
He doesn't celebrate his birthdays.
You never have.
Why don't you?
It's another day.
It's another day.
It's another year of privilege on this planet.
Another year of being around the sun.
So I'm grateful for that, but still.
The day your mom birthed you,
the day you took your first breath.
That's why she was grateful to care me out of her belly.
So she was like, get out of here.
But yeah, it's another day.
Just older, another year to leave.
The same thing doesn't change anything.
It's the same thing.
See, I celebrate every single birthday.
Yeah, for months.
Well, you might not be fussed about celebrating,
but the team have got you a little birthday present.
Oh, no.
Yeah, because you can't have a birthday without celebrating.
This is something I'm going to change with you.
I really am going to make you appreciate your birthdays more.
Whoa, whoa, you're getting it wrong.
I appreciate my birthday and I appreciate my day.
and the day that I was born and have another year around.
I appreciate all of that.
I just don't like to make a fuss about it.
It's too late.
You're going to get a fuss.
Well, you've got a birthday present here.
I don't know what this is, by the way.
No, I don't know what it is either.
This is from the Lost in Translation Team.
I have no idea what they say is genuinely.
That's a bottle there.
Oh, I can be, I feel it already.
What is it?
That looks like a...
Open it?
Like milk.
How can you not be excited to open it?
I'm going to open it for you.
I bet it's megan digestive.
What is it?
Be careful it's on something.
Whoa!
What is it?
Yay!
Oh my gosh!
Guys, it's my birthday.
I don't want to become obese and diabetic, yeah?
With sugar.
That is, literally, when was it?
About two days ago, I was driving home from work,
Gorka Rung me.
Can you stop off and get digestives, please?
I had to stop off at the local spa to get digestives.
Also, guys, you're going to give my guilty preempties.
You've given away loads on the pod.
This is my secret. No one does this.
Oh, that's brilliant.
That is a really thoughtful gift because it's something you genuinely love.
Yeah, it's like when your man getting my shortbread for Christmas.
I don't want anything else.
They're getting the same thing every year.
Yeah, I'd rather get...
An Amazon voucher and some shortbread.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I'd rather get this, you know, than...
You won't have to buy digestives for about six months.
Well...
I'll say...
for two months. Yeah, he will genuinely
eat all of them. Oh wow, can I
have a biscuit now? Just one, yeah? Of course, yeah.
Oh, look at you with your birthday gifts.
Oh wow, multi-pack. Do you want
us to get you a mug and you can make your...
No, no, no, no, it's okay, don't worry.
You know, we had it last night in bed.
Yeah, that was my birthday treat.
So basically, this is a whole packet, yeah?
For all of you that you don't believe it,
I could do this look.
He gets at least half the packet of digestive.
This, yeah, put it on the top.
pour the milk over, and then let it soft.
When I can push it down, get the other half.
So the whole packet will go in one go, trust me.
Genuinely.
It's like Farley's Rusk.
Where did it come from that?
When did you start doing that?
As a kid, but I used to do it with different biscuits, not these ones.
I used to do it.
Well, and then my mom went to me and said like Oka,
I think you try and need to eat these biscuits that are a bit more healthier, yeah?
But I used to do it with Maria Fontaneda Dorada.
So in Spain, it's going to eat.
It's kind of, I think, like the same company, like MacBittes, but a Spanish one.
Right.
It's the one that used to make the Filipinos.
If you have been in Spain, you must try Filipinos blanco or Filipinos de Chocolate.
Oh, okay.
Every kid in Spain loves Filipinos.
Oh, yeah, it's very much MacBittesie, isn't it?
I could get four like this in a row.
Deeper on the middle can go like this.
And you just focus on it.
Because if you leave it too long, it will break.
If you leave it to not too long, it will be hard still, yeah?
So the aim was like, put it there and me like, okay, it's like five, four, I think now.
And you just take it out and you just bubble a little and you just like, and everything breathed.
Oh, in your mouth.
Oh, my goodness.
And then since then, I started to do this.
So this, but you see how it doesn't fit?
This is the key.
And when he's dancing on a tour, he can do it even more because you just need all the, oh, he's dropped it.
He's dropped it.
Digestives are quite good to dunk, though.
They're up there with a hobnob for dunking, I would say.
This is not very healthy.
This is what you created a monster now, guys.
I still remember when I told Jamie Lang about this and he's like, no, I don't believe you.
I was like, Mary, I'm telling you.
I'm like, you're very healthy.
You can know it there.
And I'm telling you.
He was like, half of your money comes from my pocket.
Oh, yeah, he's part of McVitties, isn't he?
Oh, you see, his great-grandfather.
Great granddad.
Sir Alexander Grant invented the iconic McVitties digestive.
Imagine you're like gem and tonics, yeah?
That's incredible amazing, yeah?
in 15, 20 years time, yeah?
And it becomes this iconic, like...
When it becomes...
Yeah, a staple, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Imagine Mia's grandkids,
yeah.
Thinking, my great-grandma create this.
Those kids, no, they are born
and they don't have to worry about much about things, you know?
They'd be saying, my great-grandma,
created Gem and Tonic, created the word piping.
And my great-granddad didn't know what Thumbanino-Softi was
because all the kids would be talking about it then.
I was trying to make it about ourselves, sexful, you know, like,
those kids will have, like, yeah.
That's what will happen.
Anyway.
Anyway. Thank you for my gift.
I really appreciate it.
Next time that I can buy, I might not fit in this chair.
We should do a challenge.
I would love to do a challenge, you know?
See, how many packages in one go I can eat until I get sick.
No.
I mean, that will be something very good for the social media.
No, it won't.
You're going to be like that kid off Matilda.
in me we eat all that chocolate cake.
You can do it, Bruce.
Guys, you think we should do that?
I'll do that.
I have here like two, three yokes of like cold milk
and see how much of this I can need.
Until you're sick?
Until I've got to not see.
And they're like, guys, I'm done.
I will vomit.
Oh, that's like them eating contest in America.
I bet you I could do at least like five package.
Cheers.
Without further ado, let's crack on quick
before your insulin goes any more through the roof
and you come up with any more ideas.
This is amazing, huh?
Me, I don't have to match off with this.
Without further ado,
Whole milk.
Let me.
So it's been another week in the Atkinson, Marquez household.
Mia's now back in year three.
She's gone back to school.
Summer holidays are officially over.
Which I'm glad also.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, because there is no summer really here.
No.
So at least the kids are busy.
She's learnt to ride a bike with no stabiliser.
She's been doing all that with her.
She's loving it.
She's brilliant.
Tiago's upstairs in preschool.
He's having a blast.
I know.
He's loving life.
So it's back to normal.
Oh, it's quite sad, isn't it?
I'm actually glad to be honest.
Cozy season now.
We'll be having our pumpkin spice lattes before we know it.
Oh, no, Halloween.
Producers have done some digging, by the way.
So do you remember last week when I told you about that pineapple in your trolley?
Yes.
It means that you're up for piping.
Turns out, you saucy Spaniards, it originated Gorka in Spain.
Really?
Yeah.
In 2024, single people in Spain would head to the Mercodonnas
between 7 and 8 o'clock in the evening,
put a pineapple in their trolley
to indicate that they were ready to mingle.
I need to ask Pelagio that.
No.
It says they also found out
that there's actually a whole supermarket code
for that.
So were you aware it started in Spain?
Clearly not.
Well, in 2024 I didn't live in Spain.
I left Spain in 2016.
Well, it was the source of Spaniards who created it.
I need to ask this to Pelagio,
to see if he's true.
He would know, wouldn't he?
Well, probably, yeah.
Well, there's a few of them.
So if you have upright bananas in your trolley,
that means you're single and ready to mingle.
You know, they're upright.
They're standing to attention.
I don't even pay attention.
I just put the things on the bags now.
I was going to say we scan them and put them straight in, don't we?
The last time you go to the supermarket and pay attention.
A pineapple the right way around means you're a woman interested in finding a man.
What is the right way around?
Like the spikes up.
Spikes up.
I'm so confusing
Upside down pineapple
Means you're a swinger
And you're looking for a couple
Okay
Putting a peach in someone's trolley
Means you're flirting
Someone put a peach in my trolley
What you're doing?
Yeah I'd say what have you done that for
Yeah I would twat him
Yeah I wouldn't think they were flirting
I'd say do you need that back
Oh excuse me, it's their own trolley
Lettuce
If you put a lettuce in it
It means you're looking for a one night stand
This is really what ruined my shop now
Because I'm going to be conscious
Of what I'm doing
You buy a lettuce on a back
So how are you going to know?
We buy letters all the time for salads and stuff.
Yes, but it's like the pack.
You buy the pack.
It's not just the lettuce coming out, do you mean?
Apparently if you show lentils,
you want something long term.
An oil, you want to partner with a healthy bank balance.
Well, you buy a lot of bottles of oil, Jim, recently, you know?
Is this all true, Henry?
Yeah, we found an article.
It was in the Metro.
Oh, my gosh.
It can be real.
I mean, it's a lot of thought.
in your shopping.
Maybe someone's listening now
who has done this.
You know, we don't judge here.
If you are swingers
and you do use that pineapple tack,
please do get in touch.
If you want,
we can keep your anonymous
if you want us to.
But I'd be genuinely interested
to know if that is a thing.
Oh, God.
Because surely it's easier
to just go on a dating site
for all of that.
It's just very confused.
How do you, honestly,
again, like,
how can you even multitask
or think on the supermarket?
You're looking for the food.
You're looking hard to place the food.
plus looking around
if someone reacts
it's just too difficult
just what if you do
the shopping online
well then you're not looking for anything
I mean what if you do shopping in Okato
or like in Tesco online
how are you going to do it
on the theme of food
it's also the
La Tomatina festival
oh yeah that's the like massive
tomatoes when they throw the tomatoes
and everything
why did they do that
I don't know it's not what I'm from
it's like a thing because it's like
at the end of the tomato season
You know, when they have overproduction of tomatoes.
So they obviously, when they use the tomatoes to make things,
and they're being like, already like damage or things like that.
Or they're overproduced.
So they have a big tomato fight in the street?
Yeah.
And the whole city becomes red.
Oh.
They do similar one with the wine, with their grapes,
with their grapes, I think.
I don't know.
Spain is weird with those things.
I bet it actually hurts getting it with the tomato.
Yeah.
Imagine if it's not fully ripe, it's a bit mushy.
They're all just, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But a full-on pelts on tomato.
It's like a massive truck.
comes to the city and they throw them and everything.
I don't know.
And the news is responsible for the cleanup, the council?
No idea.
It's not what I'm prone, Jim.
I said on the news in the Spain, but I've never been.
I don't know, really.
You had Gorkas zero interest in throwing tomatoes at people.
I will make a tomato salad.
With your lettuce.
Yes.
And my bananas facing up.
Do they have loads of different festivals like that across Spain now?
I think so.
They have the, that one, the, I think they had the one with the orange also.
I'm trying to think we don't do that
We only have the cheese one in the UK
In Leicester
Is it Leszre?
I think they roll it down the hill
Yeah, they roll it down the hill
Yeah
No idea in Spain
And then you run after it
We have log throwing in Scotland
I think there's another one with the grapes
But I'm not sure
The La Domitina is the famous one
Well before we do
Our debates this week
Our producers have thrown in their own question
As always
Oh I can wait
This week they want to know
If someone rang you
claiming to be the other person
what question that only you would know
would you make sure to ask?
I will know he's not you.
Yeah, but if they'd AI'd my voice...
It's very...
No.
Talking of this,
people are now saying
you are all supposed to have
that safe word or safe question
because AI is becoming so prominent everywhere.
I mean, it's frightening what they do,
so lots of like banking apps
or anything like that
or even parents with kids with smartphones
are saying,
if you ringles, to make sure we know it's you,
we'll ask each other that one question that only we'd know.
Do you know what I mean?
For like a safety feature.
So we should actually have that.
I probably would ask Orca.
Don't say here because then everybody knows it.
I'd say which side of the bed do I sleep on
and in which position do I sleep?
On top of me?
I'd say that.
I'd say which side of the bed do I sleep on
and what position do I?
sleeping. I mean, it depends. Or I could ask you what book I'm reading. In fact, you'll be proud of me.
I've stuck to it, haven't I? For the last month, I made a pack to myself. I didn't want to watch
telly in bed. I wanted to start reading again. Before I had kids, I used to read all the time.
You actually said to me, didn't you? Where did you get this from? This reading thing.
But I used to read all the time on holiday, on trains at night. And I thought, you know what,
I'm going to get back into reading. And when we went to tell you.
Kennearief in the Jet 2 Mac, there was an article from, what's the lady called?
The famous one.
She did the Gruffalo.
My dear.
Julia Donaldson.
She did an interview and she said that she loves crime novels and she recommended this crime novel author.
I thought I'm going to get her books and I've stuck to it and I've read it for the last three or four weeks.
I think until the next season of Tulsa King comes out.
Then you will put the book out and watch Tulsa King.
That's why she's reading, to be honest.
No, it's not.
Because there is no...
Something of Mary East Town is not out,
and Tulsa King is not out.
And she finished the Doughton Ranch.
So there is nothing to watch on the telly.
No, I started watching that murder thing the other day.
And you have nightmares.
You have nightmares.
No.
Yeah.
It was when you wake up, like, saying you have the most horrible dream of...
Yeah.
So then that's why you're watching it.
But that's not, because I'm not...
That's not why I'm not watching it.
I watch it in the day.
In three months time,
when Tulsa King
comes out yeah how is the reading going what's your debate for me today my debate is yeah you went out of
i don't know why and bought these like new pants new pans yes no pants like pans cooking pants yeah yeah you see
all these new pants are amazing blah blah blah blah they got delivered yeah you have to like sort them out
and then yesterday you're like yeah i'm gonna get the new pants so you took out all the pans out and leave them
on the kitchen and then you left
for work
but you left all the pans there
because they needed washing
yeah but since you took them out of the box
until you left to what it was two and a half hours
right and you left them all in the kitchen
and didn't wash them
is it only going to be me using the pans
I didn't buy the pants I didn't even want the pants
I've bought the pans to match the colour of the kitchen
and the ceramic and the paraffin free
I can't say it the non-toxic pans
Like we have the other ones
You made a cracking omelet in that pan this morning
Yeah
But I'm the one who tied up the whole
The whole pan cover
To the old ones
Put them aside to get rid of them
Or give them whatever
Wash all the new ones
And put it back in place
And that was taxing was it
No it's not taxing
It's like if I would have bought
If I was the opposite
You would be blaming
And he bought these new pants
And he's been there for weeks
Like with the luggage
We'll be there for weeks
Okay
The luggage has been there
And I moved Gorka left luggage
And a hoodie behind the door while he went away
And I purposely moved your hoodie
Because I was bringing Benji in from a walk
And I didn't want him to shake all over it
So I purposely moved it.
I hung it up in his wardrobe
And the other day he said,
Where's my hoodie that was here?
Oh, he's up here.
I did that for you
Because I didn't want it to get wet.
Not because it was just left there for over a week.
There's not over that a week
It's because I'm travelling every other day
I know.
And I'm taking the same luggage.
So why I'm going to...
I literally am washing my clothes, putting back on the luggage, leave.
Come back, wash them, put them in the luggage, leave.
You've only been taking that little luggage, aren't you?
Yeah, because I'm going just for the day and come back.
What you want me to take?
No, I just... I don't know if you'd take a bag or...
Just that, in my backpack.
Yeah.
He just travel very light, Gawker, to be fair.
Well, I'm going just for...
If I live today and come back tomorrow, it's just one night.
I don't need to take anything else.
If you want, we can take all the luggagees.
I can move out if you want to.
No, just leave the lookages where they are.
Crick it.
The luggage is, our loggages are like them little Russian dolls,
so they all live one inside the other.
And Gorka likes to put them back.
I obviously can't do it right, even though I can.
But you always say to me, I put the luggage back.
Yeah, because I know I'm the one who travel the most,
so I know where they are in my luggage and what is inside them.
Sometimes I don't need things in the small one.
I leave things inside that I know I only need for travel.
Sometimes he leaves things in, like, for a full, nearly a year, you've had clothes in a luggage bag.
Literally, I'll go to get the luggage for the holiday next year and there'll be stuff in it from this year.
Yeah, because I know it's there for a reason.
So I don't forget it because it's only things that I need when I travel.
Talk about organized.
Cricky.
Well, my travel toiletry bag, I don't need a toiletry bag at home.
It's just when I luggage.
So then when I need to go, I need to pack, where is my toiletry bag?
I know it's in the luggage.
It's in the luggage.
There you go.
luggage. If you've got any
debates, by the way, please do get in touch
with us. O'dable 7-603-9898.
That's O'dable7-6103-9-98.
You can voice note, you can WhatsApp.
We love hearing from you.
We have actually had some messages
from our lovely listeners. Do you want to read one out?
Yes, if I find him.
Well, Kate's actually sent us a voice note.
Kate's from Whitefield. We've just stopped in Whitefield.
Let's have Kate's voice note.
Hi, Gemma.
I hope you both okay. Last week Gemma gave us a beautiful rendition on her recorder and I thought I'd give her some competition
by playing something on the recorder myself. So here it is. See if you can guess what it is.
Just round the corner tell me if you want a five will make you feel alright.
Oh, got the feeling by five. There we go. Good luck in working it out. And if you ever want a duet to play then I
I'm your girl.
Bye!
Is this like a very thing that you guys can do?
What, Love 5?
No, play the recorder.
Probably, yeah.
If Kate's from Whitefield,
we might have had the same recorder teacher.
Nice.
Who knows?
Oh, thank you for that, Kate.
I wouldn't even guess that song
because I don't even know
who 5 was until I met Gemma.
But they're not big in Spain?
No, Gemma.
I think they would have been.
No.
Surely that 5 must have done a tour.
Take that in One Direction, yes.
I thought you're going to say,
take that in Jason Donovan then.
No, one direction.
Next one is from Bex.
You read at Bex.
Hi, GNG.
I'm listening to The Ep, Are We Smarter than a 7-year-old?
And you're answering the question from Enrique about who you will invite to a dinner party.
Generally, for a moment, though, Gorka said Bux Bunny.
Oh, you said Bad Bunny, didn't you?
Yeah, but Box Bunny is the one from the movie, no, with Michael Jordan.
I wouldn't mind either.
Looney Tunes.
I love that movie.
Through that, was a bit random, but very cute.
None.
She said, I thought it was a bit random, but very cute none the last.
less.
Okay.
Then he said, because I love his music,
didn't think Bugs had any songs.
Then I realized he said,
Bad Bunny.
Yes, Bat Bunny.
I love how she's called Henry Enrique.
Everyone's picking up on Enrique.
Producer Henry has actually said,
if we had to invite a cartoon character each to our house,
he would it be?
Probably him or the Tasmanian devil?
Yeah.
It caused a mess.
I was going to say,
we've already got,
Tiago is a Tasmanian devil.
Yeah, I like it.
Did you ever watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
No.
Did you not watch that?
I think you'd like that with Jessica Rabbit.
Tiago and Mia should watch this.
Who Frame Roger Rabbit?
It's really good.
It's a cartoon, but it's a film as well.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was the movie, yeah, with the peanut girl, the red hair, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm trying to think which cartoon character I'd invite round.
Probably something like Ranges or something like that.
Probably Angelica from the Rugrats.
What's that?
Angelica.
She was like a little shite from the movie Rugrats.
Do you remember Rugrats?
Yeah.
There she is.
Oh gosh.
That's like Mia.
Bart Simpson?
Bart Simpson was the very first LP that I bought.
It was Do the Bartman.
It was a purple LP.
And he had a T-shirt on saying,
Eat My Shorts.
Oh, I like Bart Simpson.
Did you ever watch South Park in Spain?
Yeah, but I wasn't allowed.
It was too...
Oh, I used to love South Park.
They used to play after midnight in Spain.
and it was on a Friday and Saturday,
and I was not allowed because obviously the languages and everything,
it was like not very PG, you know?
Well, my Uncle Clive, so my Uncle Clive,
vegan Uncle Clive, who we still see,
me and him used to go to the cinema,
he used to take me to the cinema all the time when I was younger,
and when I was around 14 or 15,
if you're familiar of Pillsworth,
you'll know back in the day,
you had a big Warner Brothers cinema there,
Mega Bowl, and the cinema at Pillsworth used to be amazing, didn't it?
It was so good.
And you go in, you have to pick and mix stuff on the left,
a big bugged bunny Warner Brothers sign.
And he took me, and there wasn't anything on,
other than the South Park movie.
So he said, oh, we'll just watch this.
And he didn't know what it was.
And he just said, since told me now,
we mean we piss ourselves laughing about it now.
He said, because it was kids,
I thought it'd be fine because it was a cartoon.
The whole story of the storyline of the South Park movie
is the kids of South Park trying to love.
the clitoris because they ask chef, they ask chef how to please a woman.
They would like, chef, how do you get a girlfriend?
And he says, oh, there's easy kids.
You just got to find the clitoris.
That's the storyline.
Cartman trying to locate a clitoris.
They have a scene where Saddam Hussein is piping the devil, literally.
And Clive said he took me, I think I was literally foreseen.
And Clive said he sat there.
He said in the whole movie.
was getting lower and lower in his chair.
I mean, now we wet ourselves about it.
And he says he will always,
moving forward, check what a film is.
But he just said, I just thought it was a cartoon,
so it was the only thing we watched.

the other day I was doing the workshops
yeah and some of the people who came to the class
listening the podcast
so they were doing the check-in
and they were like go-castle-lawed
like convince yourself yeah
and I was like well done
they said it to you
yeah so in the class I was keeping doing guys
remember when you do this
just commit to it yeah
convince yourself that you are good at it
do you remember in Tenerife
there was a family in Tenerife
who we saw
they were quite not
probably I was in my age
but more like your age.
My age, yeah.
We only signed for like three days.
They have the kids and everything.
One of the kids is just like a teenager, probably 16 or something like that.
In fact, the mom also came because they came with a little girl and gave something to me, no?
And they just came and see that they love the podcast and they listened to the podcast.
Yeah, the lad, he must have been in his teens.
He come over.
He said, by the way, I love your podcast.
I thought, oh, bless him.
Yeah, very cute.
So thank you if you're listening.
Before we move on, can we just say a massive thank you to all of you who vote for us.
for the podcast awards, yeah.
Hopefully, now the votes are closed,
they will be counting them like,
find out.
When do we find out, Emory?
First of October's the awards.
I don't know if it's before then or...
Okay.
So hopefully we find out earlier
if we won the award or not,
but fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed.
If we've won, brilliant,
if we've not won, whoever does,
we'll just go down...
Congratulations.
And bathroom.
Jimma, don't hate.
Congratulations, I mean.
Gemma, don't hate.
Congratulations, I mean.
So aggressive, you know.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure we will be close to win it or win it.
So thank you very much.
So cocky and confident.
Well, you have to be a bit, no?
Yeah, you have to manifest it.
So over to you guys now.
Should we solve a dilemma?
Yes.
This week's dilemma comes from Anonymous.
Anonymous.
Anonymous.
Gema.
Anonymous.
Just read it.
Anonymous.
Anonymous.
There we go.
You've said,
Gemma and Gawker. I love the podcast, been a fan of Gemma's since, as she puts it,
the Glory Days. And I've now become a big fan of Gawkers too through listening to this pod.
My dilemma is with my girlfriend. We've been going out for six months and it's something that was
cute at first, but now I'm finding it a little cringe. I'm all for people having passions,
but my girlfriend is really into Disney and is a self-confessed Disney adult. In six months,
we've already spent two weekends at Disneyland, Paris.
Whenever we want to watch a film, she suggested Disney,
and once talked about spicing things up in the bedroom,
she suggested I dressed up as the Beast from Beauty and the Beast,
no.
Although I'd like to think she was joking about that.
Anyway, how would you approach telling this,
telling her, because I'm happy for her to love Disney,
but it's a bit too much for me to get involved too
as we're both in our mid-30s?
I think that's weird.
Can you imagine if I'd come one night,
I don't know.
I get it.
If you've got kids, I get it, the whole Disney thing.
You take your kids.
If you ain't got kids, why you're there?
Why you...
I don't like it.
Some people like more than the kids, to be honest.
I've never been in...
Well, I'm like...
I've been one in Disneyland Paris,
but not Disneyland in America,
but I wasn't even like...
Because I was...
I went for the Harry Potter thing.
Yeah.
Do you what I mean?
Yeah.
Because when I was on the ships,
we went to the Warner Brothers
and Disneyland is next to it,
but I really never went to...
to Disneyland, I went to the Warner Brothers to watch the Harry Potter.
You know like the Harry Potter thing?
I didn't, I've never been to Disney.
I've never been to Paris.
It's never...
Called you.
No, I've never been interested.
I used to like Disney film.
I used to love Beauty and the Beast, genuinely.
Cinderella, I loved them.
The movies, but from that you go like into like, yeah, like now, being like, let's do a, my
birthday, for a birthday, the party's going to be Disney party.
Everybody has to be interested in.
That will be weird, yeah.
It would be interesting to, to, for me.
find out where
it's come from
is it because it's
nostalgic for her
maybe it reminds her
of like
you know
happier times
as a kid
but I think
if you're an adult
and your
passion is
kids stuff
I
you need to have
adult hobbies
like do you know what I mean
I mean
don't get me wrong
Disney makes such a
good movie sometimes
like I went
to see Pixar ones
no but not even
now
when to see kids movies
there is Disney movie
you think it's a Disney movie
and you go like oh wow
this is actually
better for adults
than for kids
more funny, you know what I mean, the inner jokes and everything like that.
But to the point of like going to like them, like, if I was you and I alone, not kids,
you go like, should we go for a weekend to Disneyland?
I would be like, absolutely not you go yourself.
Hell on earth.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Unless you're forced to go with kids, why would you want to go there?
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
That's weird.
What would you do if I ask you to dress up as beast from beauty and the beast in the bedroom?
I am a beast already.
If I said, I want you to wear the wig and the, I just find that.
Well, I thought you would be used to because it's like when I come home from strictly shows
and I sometimes have the full makeup or like and I come dress up as Halloween, you know, like, I don't know,
movie week, musicals.
You could just say, I mean, he's wanting advice on how he explains to her, it's not his thing,
but he's more than happy for her to be into it.
Yeah, but from that, to bring me that to the night time.
You could just say to her.
You could do a bit like a Wardia Civil, you know what I mean?
You can dress up for bedtime as a warrior's a bit.
That would be more interesting.
I mean, they've been Disneyland Paris twice.
In six months.
In six months.
You could have gone somewhere.
You could have gone Italy for the weekend.
Me as seven.
She have never been to Disneyland.
No.
I bet she's well she wears the Mickey ears.
I bet she wears Mickey Mouse ears in pictures.
Or like, maybe that goes to, you know when they do like the Disney collection in Zara or something like that?
She will be wearing the jacket with the...
Oh.
Bless her.
No offense.
No judging, eh?
I always, I mean, this is my overactive brain.
and you'll agree it's ridiculous.
But anyone who dresses up in them,
I always say, do you like mascots and stuff at football?
I always think, who I wonder who's underneath them.
Do you know what I mean?
Like you see kids running to the Mickey Mouse
and I always think, ooh, who's underneath it?
I always panic.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm not, I don't know.
Yeah.
I'd be like, Mia, get away from goofy.
We don't know, we don't know him.
Don't go and hug him.
Well, it does make me cry when I see videos on Instagram
when you see the little kids running,
has a really sad music, like the Christina Perry music over it,
and it's little kids rushing towards Disney characters.
That I genuinely love.
I think it's so, so sweet.
But I think if I saw adults without kids doing it,
I'd probably think maybe, you could maybe just ask her,
where's this, where's it come from, this love of Disney?
Tell me about it.
Is it from a kid?
Is it because you, is it nostalgic?
Like, where's it come from?
Ask her about why it is she loves it
And then you could maybe say
That's brilliant
So next time, why don't you go with your mates
Or why don't you take such a body?
Why you don't go by yourself?
Yeah.
And you suggest doing something
Maybe you books somewhere that isn't Disney
But please let us know how that chat goes
Because that's the first dilemma
I'm normally like okay with dilemmas
But this is the first one where I'd have to
If Gorka was a Disney adult
and six months in
he wanted to go Disney twice
I'd say you know what
we've had a good six months run
but this is where it ends
and then I play some Disney music for you
as you pack your bags and tottered off
Wow
Today's game is called
Don't give up your day job
as you never know what's around the corner
or if you'll get cancelled
for being spotted having a poo in a field
our producers have given us a list of jobs
Mostly you, the both of them, no?
You pooed in the field.
Our producers have given us a list of jobs
and we have to decide which of us would have a better career in them.
Okay, I like it.
So who would be the best stylist?
That's you, 100%.
I just say it.
You think you'd be a better stylist than me now.
Yeah, I don't need to say it.
I know it. I own it.
Who'd be the best party planner?
Me.
What?
Yeah.
You wouldn't be the best party plan.
Yes, I'm very good organiser, more to detail.
The thing is I don't do it, because you just organise family parties.
But if I have to organise a birthday party,
I organise the whole Arduino and Alberto's Bachelor weekend,
and I didn't even go there from the distance, so trust me.
No, I would organise the best party.
I would have all kinds of shenanigans going on.
Okay.
Like really fun stuff.
One one.
Not organised, mine would be fun.
One one.
You said you'd be organized.
I would.
Yeah, like fun, like organized, I make sure the right has a good time.
You wait till me as 16th.
Okay.
Who would be the best therapist?
Me?
Because I listen more.
You don't have the time.
Sometimes I'm talking to Gorker and he answers with one word.
Someone is full of herself.
You not listen.
Sometimes I talk to you, you don't even listen to me.
You go with something else.
I pretend, oh Ludey I'm not listening, but I listen to you more than you listen to me.
I can tell you three conversations that I had with you,
and I say things and you just, I finish and you're like, oh, have you seen this dog?
And then I was like, I go, Gem, I remember this day?
No, I told you this day, and you don't remember it.
Trust me, I have more memory and I listen, even if you think I'm not listening.
Gawka FaceTime me the other day at an event I was with, with a load of ladies,
and I wished him good luck at his high rocks event, and he said, I'm not doing a high rocks event.
He said, I'm here, but I'm not partaking.
And the women actually said to me, oh, he's going to be saying on the podcast, you don't listen to him.
But it's true, you don't listen.
I do, I just don't judge.
Do you want to read out the next one?
Who will be the best travel agent?
Me.
Gorker, I'd say.
He's good at booking, especially if it's somewhere in Spain,
because I'll just say to it.
The amount of times I say to him,
we just ring them and speak to them on the phone.
I hate emails.
If I could ring someone and just book something with them,
or back in the day, teletext,
I just hate sending emails.
Who will be the best competitive eater,
me.
Gorka, you've already seen
the start of this epi
he wants to do a bloody
eating contest
with digestive
and full fat milk?
Who will be
the best financial
advisor?
Me?
100%
Yeah.
I'd be good at that.
Who would be the best
bartender?
Me.
Do you think?
Yeah.
Did you be like
Tom Cruise in cocktail?
Yeah,
with no tail.
Have you seen
the film cocktail?
No.
Have you not seen that
with Tom Cruise?
No.
Oh, you'd like
cocktail?
I don't know.
I'll try.
Oh, you'd write an Elizabeth shoe.
She was big in the 80s and 90s.
Oh, I've still all moving now, probably won't.
No, honestly, you will.
You will like that.
Okay.
You can say we are from different eras, yeah?
Decades, sorry.
Who would be the best taxi driver?
Gemma.
Me.
I always, I'm our designated driver.
I drive on holiday, I drive here.
I love driving.
Who would be the best teacher?
Me.
Gorker.
Who would be the best cleaner?
Me.
Go, okay.
Who would be the best children's entertainer?
It depends.
Me, probably.
No, he depends.
We're both very good with the kids, but probably me.
Okay.
I'll let you have that.
No, I'm trying to, I think we both, we've been doing this thing recently
because Tiago's in his big boy bed, as you all know,
there's a massive Hulk bed now.
And it's funny, Tiago's very much a mummy's boy.
And like when you say, let's put you to bed, he says,
no, I want mummy to put me to bed.
And Mia's very much a daddy's girl.
Who did him to bed last night?
Well, you did last night because I went in the sauna.
Yeah, and the night before?
Me.
Not this week.
Whereas Mia's very much a...
Yeah, we have.
A daddy's girl, and she, I'll say, let's put his bed and she says,
no, I want Papa to.
She will wait even.
Yeah, so it's interesting how they've both kind of...
But my mum says that will change as well as they get older,
because you remember Mia went through her phase when she was little.
She would never, she wouldn't do anything unless it was with me.
Yeah, it was, I think, when I was away.
Yeah, she used to be always with me,
and then I used to go away, and then she didn't even want me.
Yeah.
And then she wouldn't go to him.
It was all me, me, me, and now she's Gorker and Tiago's me.
And my mum said as they get older, it will change as well
where Tiago won't gok her.
But, yeah.
Oh, that was a good game.
Very nice.
Well, that's everything we have for today.
Yeah.
