A reo original podcast
Hello, I'm Gemma Atkinson.
And I'm the other half, Gorka Marketh.
And this is our podcast, Lost in Translation.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Nervous laughter.
Are you sure you want to do this?
No.
Am I heck?
Are you?
Yes, I was thrilled.
I mean, life is chaotic, isn't it?
But I think that's why we wanted to do this.
this, to be fair, because I don't know about you, but I genuinely get a lot of messages from
people saying, how do you juggle things, what do you do with the kids, what do you do
and gorkers away, what's gorker like when he's at home, what's it like dating someone from
a different country, we get all those stuff.
I thought you get how you deal with him.
Well, I get that as well.
So this is kind of like a therapy session in a way, isn't it?
So basically, this is going to be now where we're going to tell each other, all the things.
Judgment free.
because we have cameras
and then you go home
and then she's not going to talk to me
for the next 24 hours
maybe I might be angry at you
depends we'll see what you
see what you reveal
but yeah we just want to
be open and honest and have
real life fun
quirky honest conversations
I won't be too honest
I've already been warned
there we go
I've already been warned
let's say Spanish honest
no German honest
because if no you will know too much
you know you need to keep something for our
It sells too, you know?
I forget the cameras are here.
And whenever I'm out in a situation like this,
I always think it's a girl's WhatsApp group, anything goes.
Then I'd get home and go, oh, shite.
Shouldn't I said that.
And then I find out what she's been saying about me.
Not because she told me, just because I listened to the podcast.
But we are going to go back to when we very first met and talk about all that.
But we will need your help to find out ultimately who is right in these conversations
because one of us always is.
It's usually me.
We'll also going to answer your questions
and we'll solve your dilemmas as well
because we're here to help you guys
So if you do want to get in touch, please do
It's Lost in Translation at bowermedia.com.
And please follow us as well
on social's lost dot in dot podcast.
You ready?
Without further ado,
Bamos.
Bamos.
He's dressing up with his mum's lundery
and the crackers.
It's the most rewarding, but exhausting.
High five.
Which accent do I have?
Spanish accent or English accent?
Spancunian, yeah.
Spanish with a little bit of mank.
How much they can get in our tits, like Jemase?
So, yeah.
On them, not in them.
She said to me, I'm going to pipe the Spanish one.
After day one.
Yeah, he just popped his head between my legs.
Not for the first time.
This week has consisted for us of work, kids.
and serial killers
because that's all we've done
I mean I don't even consider him
a serial killer
Ed Gein
It's just we are talking about Edgin
Ed Gein Ed Gein
Ed Gein
Ed, I don't know Ed
It's not even a serial killer
Because half of them they were already dead
Yeah but he killed some people
But the other were dead
For me as well how weird though
We've been watching that
The things that he did
Ugh
I just
The Judge Ben thought about it
I felt disgusting
Gorka watched the first scene
of the Ed Gein documentary on a plane
sat between two ladies.
No.
And if anyone's seen it,
he's doing something really,
what all guys do.
I can explain you.
So imagine, this is the role of the plane, yeah?
So Gemma is, I was sat in the middle.
So on my right, I had like a,
maybe around like 25 max year old girl.
Then in the other side,
I have over 50-year-old woman.
And I'm sat in the middle of the plane
with my iPhone, yeah?
Quite bright screen,
not even like that.
bright the screen, put it there watching the episode. And the scene that I was watching is when
he's dressing up with his mum's lingerie. Lendery. Lendry. Underwear. I just say on the crackers.
Yes, undercrackers. Stand on a stool with a belt over his neck hanging on the door. Basically
like choking himself. Yeah. This is no kids friendly. And for pleasure. He's trying to pleasure
himself with his man under clothes and hanging of him yeah and the man walks in and I'm like between
two women on the plane you know they were thinking what's wrong with this guy who am I sat next to
um should we go back to when when we first met how we even got together and stuff don't even remember
that I know it seems like ages ago I do remember do you remember it like detail for detail I remember
I remember what you were wearing I remember what you were wearing you had on a pair of blue joggers a white t-shirt
and a chequered red shirt
tied around your waist.
Yes.
So I'm not wrong there.
There were no blue yoghers.
They were like a navy.
They were black.
They were a navy, a dark navy.
No, they were black.
They were dark navy gold.
They were black.
They were washed black.
So when it's like bleach wash,
so it looks lighter.
So it looks navy blue.
No, but they were black.
No navy blue.
Well, they looked navy blue to me.
But we met in the rehearsals for Strictly
and it was in August.
Yes.
I'd just come back.
for my girls' weekend in Ibiza.
No.
So I was feeling awful.
That first day.
Were you?
Or you were going to Ibiza after?
No, I'd come back from Ibiza.
Ah.
I was going to go to Ibiza mid rehearsals.
Can you imagine?
Oh, hi, strictly.
Thanks for having me.
I'm just going Ibiza.
Because I remember that was Wednesday, Wednesday, Thursday, the thing.
And then on Friday, you were going to another weekend to Ibiza?
No.
Okay.
I'd come back.
And it was the meet the celebs in the rehearsal room.
And we all had to kind of just dance with each other in a search.
didn't we for a bit, which was so awkward
because you literally just meet them
and then you have to dance with them.
We knew we weren't going to dance together
because of the height difference.
Because I was short for you.
Yeah.
And then we did a stretch routine, didn't we?
We were warming up.
Everyone, not just me and gawks, imagine.
The whole room was warming up.
She was wearing a white converse
with leggings and a top and a shirt
and two like braids like a boxer,
like a king boxer.
I am a kick boxer.
And she was a stretch.
And she was doing, you know, when you have your legs open
and you've been forward and touch your toes,
she was doing that, and I just walked behind.
And I said, hello, I'm the Spanish one.
Yeah, he just popped his head between my legs,
not for the first time.
Hey, he just popped his head between my legs and said,
hello, and I was, like, hanging upside down.
And then you suggested we went for a coffee,
and we did with Simon Rimmer.
And then he was inviting me to Bill Bow.
No, she was asking me questions about the city.
Oh, yeah, I'll take you to Spain.
She was like, oh, this is before.
Yeah, I thought you cocky gates.
I'm not going to go in.
anywhere near him.
Come two.
It took me three weeks after
just to convince her
to have a coffee in a Sunday.
Three weeks or more?
It was probably a bit more,
wasn't it?
Week three, week four, yeah.
Because I didn't know you that well.
I'm not just,
I don't just go for...
Yes.
You have to work a little bit.
She didn't know me that way,
but I'm going to tell you now the secret.
Pass forward seven months,
we were in London,
having dinner with our friends.
Oh, with Shinta.
And she was one of her best friends
and I was with my friends.
And I don't know how
came the conversation.
Oh, look at you too. Remember when it strictly started, blah, blah. And my friend was like, oh, I know. I remember when he came home that day. And we were asking him about, oh, who you think you're going to dance with? And I said, I don't know. But it was this blonde girl. She's very tall for me, but she's beautiful. And then look at you now. And I was like, huh, very shy. And Jim, I was kind of like, oh, yeah, you know. And then her best friend goes like, well, guess what? She messes me. And the first thing that when I asked her, well, how are he goes? She said to me, I'm going to pipe the Spanish one.
after day one
so she knew that
but you didn't need to know that
till months and months down the line
you had to work for it
yeah I know
I wasn't just gonna
yeah absolutely
I'm not just gonna be like
hi let's go and pipe
no you had it
we had at least what
11 coffee dates
probably yeah
loads of coffee dates
yeah Christmas period
you had to get me a nice
little Christmas gift
and then in the new year
we went on tour
and they go out of a magic stick
for Christmas.
Yeah, and then it was around.
It was February time, won't it?
Well, we were on tour, yeah, January, February.
So everyone actually thinks we got together in strictly, but we didn't.
It was, we were made in the August.
We weren't cheeky with each other, but that's it.
Yeah, but we weren't like official and doing stuff properly until, like, the February.
Yeah.
September, October, November.
Five months.
Until, yeah.
Was it worth the wait for you to be with me?
Yes.
Even though Shint and my best mate knew from day one.
and I'm going to pipe the Spanish one.
Anyway, we did, didn't we?
And look at us now.
Quite well, actually.
We've definitely done it twice.
We know that for sure.
I think more than, yeah.
I will say more than twice.
So why is this called Lost in Translation?
Why did we want to call it that?
Because we went back and forth with the name, don't we?
I think it's very obvious because obviously you struggle with my English accent.
No, you've got a lovely English accent.
That's one thing that annoys me when.
When people say, oh, he's done the word wrong, his English isn't wrong.
I'm like, guys, this is his second language.
His mother's Portuguese, his father's Spanish, his English is fluent, back the hell off.
That's one thing that really grates on me.
And English people, we do that a lot.
I used to do it.
We go abroad and expect every single waiter to speak English.
And if they don't, they're like, oh, he doesn't even understand my order.
It's like, you learn a language.
Do you know what I mean?
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
But you know what I'm lost.
I'll always have you back with that.
I'm lost because recently.
going to Spain. And now I go to Spain, you know this. I go to Spain for my job there. And when I
speak Spanish, everybody says, why you have an English accent? And I'm like, I don't. You do. You sound
like an English speaking Spanish. And then when I come back here, everybody's like, oh, you're still
having a strong Spanish accent when you speak English. So I'm like, I'm lost. Which accent? Which
accent do I have a Spanish accent or English accent? Well, I think you have a Spanish accent. By Spanquian
accent spankunian yeah spanish with a little bit of mank there was some of the guys from
australians said always it's funny when they hear me speak english because they were like you can tell
you've been long with jama because i do like a right mate like mancunian sayings or like
jogs with a spanish accent so that you sound like jama with the spanish accent yeah you do that's
good nice i love a manchester accent i got your in me um there's a bit of the show where
the producers actually know what's going to happen but we actually don't so
What do you mean we don't?
We are going to, the games, the judging style things, the question.
So we will genuinely be reacting in real time.
And again, it's not going to be filtered.
In fact, yesterday, she said to me, gocks.
And I was like, yes.
Did you say to Molly, what annoys you about me this week?
And I was like, yes.
Well, I said, oh, nothing just checking.
I was like, you're trying to get it if I tell you.
I sent mine.
My one is very.
Should we do that now then?
So basically at this part of our little pod
There's something that's happened during the week
That's basically got on our tits about each other
To the highest level
And rather than debate about it at home
We basically just message it to Moll, one of the producers
And she puts someone here for us
So he wants to go first
You go first
So I'm going to tell you what's annoyed me about you this week
Yes, because then if I don't like it
I might stand up and leave
Okay
my annoyance
and it's not just this week
the luggage
yeah I knew it
comes home from Spain on a Sunday
his suitcase
is left behind the front door
until the following Friday when he flies
and he'll empty it
from behind the front door
so because he's travelling again
I totally get the whole unpacking
repacking is annoying I get that
but it's also annoying opening the door
banging on a suitcase trying to get my shoes
off there's a suitcase
Tiago sits on the suitcase it cracks
then you shout because his suitcase is cracked
if he wasn't there in the first place you want to
sat on it
can you not just leave it in the office
because the office is so busy with things already
and the fact that it's there is because
I know it's me too
but I'm like I can be bothered taking upstairs
because I'm like... 14 steps there is in the house
I know but it's already like
unpacked so the clothes they are there
they go in the wash like all my like
socks and whatever once they are washed
they go back on the
luggage to leave the next day.
But you can still do that. So for example, tomorrow, I don't need to pack already because
that luggage is packed and it's ready for me to leave.
It's been ready for you to leave all week.
I know. I know. I knew it was that. I knew it. So if you know it annoys me, why do you leave
it there? Because it's nice and nice annoy you.
I'm going to put something in it then. Put whatever, yeah.
I'm going to put something in it. Just don't put something that I get arrested,
yeah? Can you imagine?
Did I told you this story? So obviously last year I was.
flying a lot of Spain, no?
Yeah.
And when I go from Madrid to here, I don't know why, but with the credit card, you get
a fast track, so you can go in a different, like, security.
With a certain type of credit card.
Yes, whatever credit card you have, if you have like a Spanish credit card from the bank,
I don't know, let's say Barclays, whatever, yeah?
You get fast track in Madrid airport.
So anyway, with my credit card, I go through it, yeah?
With the Amex, you go through it.
So I go through it, and it was this man.
on his 50s in front of me
and put the luggage
did you know the cabin luggage
put his stuff and he goes
through the security, nothing beeps
they put the luggage
and they asked him to open the luggage
and when they opened the luggage he was like
where are you coming from oh I came from
he flowed for example from another city
to Madrid stay overnight
and they was going somewhere else
so when he did that they
opened his luggage and he have a pair of
metal handcuffs
oh okay
And they were like, oh, yeah.
And they were like, oh, sorry, it was this, you're going to go through.
Oh, I don't know.
That's from the kids.
And they were like, from the kids, they were like, yeah, yeah, probably it's from the day to play.
And they're like, okay, fine, sorry, you cannot get them through.
So he just left, they walk in and left the handcuffs.
And then the two security guys look at each other, like, from the kids, they are metal handcuffs.
My kids is 10.
They don't play with metal handcuffs.
No, he's had a bit of fun for a night.
See, my head, I'm thinking of fair.
No, he's flown via another city to meet someone, to have an affair, now he's flying home.
No, he was working.
He said like, well...
Yeah, but you could still do that, couldn't he?
I mean, yeah, true.
Unless he's doing his own little Ed Gein with the cuffs.
Over to you then, what's annoyed you about me, if anything?
What was about me?
Well, it's not even you.
Oh, okay.
It's just the fact that since I came home now, because I was away for six weeks,
I knew this is going to happen.
Now Benji is used to being in the bed with us.
And every night jumps in and out in the middle of the night.
And it's cute and lovely.
But imagine when he jumps at 3 in the morning, you're a deep asleep and it's licking your ear.
But it's nice.
He's there.
It's not nice.
He weights 40 kilos almost.
And he jumps.
And when he jumps, doesn't know where he lands.
And he's viewing a few times that he lands in my little crackers.
you know
and he's very painful
well the thing is
you were away
for it was seven weeks
it's no excuse
and when you left
he wasn't big enough
to jump on the bed
he's a big dog
I got his ears there
oh no
he's obsessed for me though
isn't he that little dog
oh am I upside down
yeah the thing is
with Benji
like
he slept on the floor
next to my side of the bed
and he loved it
but now he's big enough
to jump on but he's not on the bed all night
he jumps on as we're getting into bed
and he'll sit with us for ten
minutes then he goes on the floor
and he's on the floor
for most of the night
it's only when if I get up to the bathroom
he follows me to the bathroom
and he puts his head on my knee while I'm weying
and then he'll jump back in bed with me
but he doesn't lie near you
he lies on me
today I wake up at 5 30 after
Tiago was crying yeah and he was
going around and jumping in Diago's bedroom.
Yeah?
You couldn't settle Tiago.
I went in and I said to El Tiago
came back, you were in bed
and you were laughing. Where was Benji?
He was on your side of the bed. Facing up
with his legs open in my side of the bed.
So I said to you.
Living in his best life.
As all dogs should.
You were doing like, oh, look at him and I was like,
it's okay, it's fine, just move it.
And you got up? Yeah.
But you were getting up anyway
for a run. So don't blame Benjay.
I just couldn't be bothered with
moaning about him again.
But he's not going to go down now, is it?
The only thing we can do is leave him downstairs
and then he'll just cry.
He'll cry all night.
Yeah, but that's what happened when I told you from the beginning.
And you said, oh, I will do whatever when you live.
And you did.
And look at it now.
Because he's with me all the time when I'm at home.
It's like my little shadow.
It's great.
I just...
Wait till we get another one.
Then what?
Well, I live then.
I'm determined to have two dogs.
Yeah, you can have a puppy one.
I just love them.
I would have four dogs.
if we could
If you have another dog
I have the coffee machine
First of all
This coffee machine
Malak
Let's just explain
And I'm sure
Every single human being
On earth will agree
with me on this
Okay
Gawker's birthday
was the 4th of September
I was asking you
From July August
What do you want for your birthday
What do you want for your birthday?
And I said to you
I didn't know
I don't know
Because
I don't know
I just
I just like to like
Teach you
Not tease you
Like to test you
To see if you know
me
What I like or not
Yeah but
I'm don't
I can't be asked
with all that teasing and testing.
Tell me what you want for your birthday.
If it's within reason, I will have, give it for you.
But it's not the whole, let's guess and all that.
I ain't got the time.
You were away.
Two kids, a dog, a job.
I ain't got the time to be trying to plan surprises.
He didn't tell me what he wanted.
And then I took Tiago for his haircut and Ross, our barber, Gawker and Tiago's barbago,
he says, oh, is he told you about the coffee machine he wants for his birthday?
So I said, oh, no, is that what he wants?
Yeah.
So I said to you, I believe you want a coffee machine
Because I was thinking a little espresso pod thing
A little thin thing, a 60 quid job
The picture that you showed me
It was seven and a half thousand thousand pounds
That's the big one
Like the property in the coffee shop
Not the one, the one that I want to
It's just for in something
Just
Yes
For a coffee machine
For a machine that you're going to put beans in
And press an on-off button
You would pay four thousand pounds
Actually it was perfect for the kitchen
because our kitchen is like wood color like that one, like the table, and green,
and the coffee machine is green and wood.
So it goes with the kitchen and it's La Marzocco, which makes a proper barista.
I would point blank refused.
But you will, if you think about it, yeah, think of how much you pay for a coffee a day
in a normal coffee shop, yeah, when you go like 450, yeah?
So you have two, three coffees a day, it's 12, 15 pounds in coffee.
I make my own coffee at home.
I make coffee at home in our little machine.
Time seven, how much money is that?
Times 2 times 7 is like double yeah
Never on this planet
Imagine a 30 days a month
12 months of the year
You will pay the coffee machine
You try and justify it
And make proper coffee
But you didn't get a coffee machine
And because of that
I didn't get you anything
I haven't got anything
No
In fact I give her another option
Like a watch or something
Yeah a watch
A Rolex watch
No I don't want a Rolex
You actually think you're turning 40
I don't want a Rolex
It was a midway
I thought you'd say
After shave
Or some toiletries
I just bought that myself
A new shirt
Something normal
A pair of trainers
Yeah
I'd get you a pair of trainers
Okay but I tell you the trainers
Are they ridiculously priced
I'm so notoriously tight
In this relationship
One of us is a spender
And one of us is a
Save and scrimp on everything
And that's me
But yeah
So you're annoyed with Benjiabin on the bed
And I'm annoyed at you
Leave in your suitcase
Yeah
Do you think any of that's going to change?
I'll take the change. Probably we'll change the luggage, not Benji.
We could try. We can try and keep him on the floor?
No, can we say what you told me the first time when first week?
First week, home, yeah? And Benji was already jumping on the bed.
I slept very bad because she could keep me away.
I said, Gemma, we cannot keep having this. Benji cannot sleep on the bed.
She's like, well, you can go in the spare room.
You know.
So that's where it's going to happen.
Love me, love my dog.
Yeah, nice, great.
But you did actually say to me, you sleep better.
in a bed on your own.
Yeah.
So some couples do that.
Some couples have separate bedrooms.
Don't mean they love each other any less.
It just means sometimes it works different tips.
I don't want to sleep with you and Benji.
I'm happy to sleep with you alone, not with Benji.
So the risk of me sleeping better is sleeping on my own
because you're not going to give up on Benji.
So my choice is to sleep you and I is that our dog.
I love the dog, but he needs to go down.
Do you really love him though?
Yes, I do love him.
him a lot but I'm still reasonable of like you are my dog you are my pet you sleep on the floor
or downstairs yeah see I see it as you're my companion and my best friend you do whatever you
like son for you whatever makes you happy is you and him you are packed and then you decide about
me I'm the opposite well that's our uh annoyances for the week so Benj you're jumping on the bed
in the night you leaving your suitcase out for a full week behind the front door
who do you agree with who's right what should we do about
about it.
I wouldn't change the laggis.
Please do vote, comment, get involved, get in touch with those.
You can either email Lostin Translation at bowermedia.co.com or on our socials, which is at
lost dot in dot podcast.
And let us know who do you think is right.
Myself or Gawker.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Nothing, because I know you're thinking.
Well, we both have good points.
Should we try and solve someone else's dilemma?
because we can't even resolve ours.
Well, hopefully we can help Steve
because we've had a Gawker and Gemma dilemma from Steve.
Thank you for getting in touch, Steve.
He says, hi, guys, I need your advice.
My wife and I are going through what I'm calling the scare wars.
She knows I easily jump at things
and he's constantly sneaking up on me.
She hides behind things jumping out.
She's even bought an Aztec death whistle
to scare me with when I get home from a dog walk.
I try to scare her back,
but it's like she's not afraid at all.
It's getting to a point
where I'm constantly checking every corner
coming home through the door
because I know she won't expect it.
What am I supposed to do?
So is the man on the edge?
I don't know what he's supposed to do.
I feel for him
because in the beginning
he used to do a lot of me.
For about two years, didn't that?
Remember when you used to have
the little horn and everything?
Yeah, I bought an air horn.
He used to put the Tom Hardy's cat board
in the toilet
in the front door
in the old house
I bought a cardboard
cut out of Tom Hardy
and an air horn
and I used to prop Tom up
everywhere
like right behind doors
and the air horn
I just used to get
when you were cleaning up
when you were washing up
if you were walking around
I do like frightening people
Yeah he twisted his neck
jumped so hard
He's like a turtle
His head disappeared
I had to go to the physio
because I have like a spasasin on my neck
Yeah, so I'm kind of with Steve's wife.
Oh, but I love a good scare prank.
I actually have some videos on my phones of you.
Remember that time that you were on the,
you were washing the car?
Would you say you're definitely jumpier than me?
You get more frightened about being.
Yes, but you're doing more often than me.
Like you more often try to scare me.
Yeah.
And we react differently.
yeah like you i go just like that you swear i swear and throw a punch only because i don't know if it's
you or not it could be someone trying to attack me i tried to hide behind our door when she comes
from work and did that yeah yeah you do and you do it a lot to vicky our we have a cleaner
comes once a month and he always shits her up all the time i love to do that to everybody yeah
and you do it to a lot of people in strictly yeah that's what i mean yeah neil gets it yeah no
but neil loves it nil is also one day loves to do that neil loves the prank
Jones and his jumps.
Well, I don't know what to tell to him, you know?
I would say you've got a, I mean, I'd say play her at her own game, but she seems to
be the master of it.
Yeah.
Do you actually do up your game, Steve?
Go over the line, you know?
Or up his reaction, like pretend to faint when she does it.
So she thinks she's really, really caused damage and then she might frighten her
something, I better not do that again.
No, I will go more over the top and make something like very, like, scary to her, yeah.
What would you do to scare me?
I mean, just...
I mean, I don't think he could.
I came home from a dog walk the other day
and as soon as I walked in the door
you went, Gemma, and Mia went,
Mommy!
And he went, you have to move this.
And there was a glass on the floor
with a spider underneath it.
And it had been there
and I said, how long does that little thing
been under there?
Because it's going to suffocate
first and foremost.
She twists everything.
Okay, then how long had it been under there?
It's been there, yes,
but you just pretend
that I was scared of the spider.
Why did you put it out?
The reason why it was there,
In fact, I was showing you the people change, you know.
If I wasn't scared of the spider, if I was there on my own,
she wouldn't even know that the spider were there
because I would have stepped on the spider.
We fall out about the spiders.
And the spider will be dead in the bin or through the toilet.
And no one will know about it.
But because Mia was there, I couldn't kill her.
So I have to put the glass and wait for you to come in and take it out.
Why couldn't you just take it out?
Because I don't want to take it out because I try, but I keep walking.
So I say, like, you know what, just wait for mommy and she does it.
But you just tip the glass on its side and it will walk.
I did that, but it walked so fast they walked out around me.
And I didn't want to touch the spider.
Because you're...
No, I will step on it.
You should never kill a spider gocker.
This is one thing we always clash over in the house.
First of all, they get rid of all the flies.
Yes, we still have been flies in the house.
Second of all, just because it's in your way.
Like, it's there living its life.
And what do you think you look like to it?
Okay, so...
A massive, massive silhouette.
Let's do something.
It's what part in our Instagram, yeah?
of a lost in translation and see how many people likes spiders or doesn't like spiders.
It's not about liking them. It's just not killing them.
Did I kill the spider? No. There we go. So that's it.
Would you have if Mia wasn't there? Probably yes. But the reason is, was Mia was there.
Did I kill the spider? No. So I set up an example for Mia and you were happy.
No? Well, yeah. In fact, then and I, after that, I got a chickie,
because she was happy. Did we? Yeah. It wasn't because of a spider.
No, because you were proud of me that I didn't kill the spider.
Should we move on to our game?
Because we're going to do a game as well every week, aren't we?
It's a British-Spanish slang game.
So we're basically going to go head-to-head.
We're testing how well each of us know our slang, both in English and Spanish.
Now, I'll hold my hands up.
My Spanish is terrible.
I can understand it a little, but I can't really speak it.
I think you understand more than what you think.
Yeah, what I think.
I do understand.
That's what I mean.
That's not good.
I just don't let all.
So when you're speaking to Jorge, I can pick things up.
The only reason I speak to Jorge sometimes is to like, slack me off.
For those ones who doesn't know who is Jorge, yeah.
He's lovely.
It's Goka also.
No, Jorge is my best friend.
It's like my brother.
We know each other since I think I was 17 and he was 15.
But Jorge does mean George in Spanish, isn't it?
So we had the same name.
That's funny.
But yours is just the Basque version.
Yeah, it's Goka.
And his is the mainland version.
Spanish version, yeah.
So both of us are George.
George.
We have the same name, but yeah, he's my best friend, which I speak to him more than to my parents.
All the time.
He comes back from school.
He's on face time.
You come on from work, you're on FaceTime.
And they've got a little girl, aren't they?
And I can never, his wife's called Liera.
Leire.
Leire.
Which is like Laura.
And my best friend is called Laura, which is weird.
But no, he is lovely.
Yeah.
So anyway, when every time that I speak to him in Spanish,
probably when I'm not, sometimes like we are talking about our respectingly partners
to each other how much they can get in our tits like you may say so yeah on them not in them
oh yeah on my tits yeah on my tits yeah so we're going to be finishing the sentence uh go look we'll be
doing it in english trying to figure out what the phrase means and mine will be spanish um so do you want me
to go first uh yeah i think so i'm going to give you a british phrase that we say so something
happens like i don't know you miss your train or you're in traffic or whatever and
someone would say oh don't cry over spilt milk there you go that's the right answer and the ironic
thing is people say don't cry of a spilled milk but if you're a mom who's either breastfeeding
or bottle feeding when you lose the milk when you drop the milk you will cry yeah if it's three
in the morning you drop a load of milk that's supposed to be feeding a kid you do cry
second one last night when diago spilled the water on the floor oh yeah it spilt a full
bottle and it piece you off massively yeah because do you know why it went on my toe the
thing again.
Oh.
Yeah.
How funny.
Every single metal bottle lies on your toe.
Every metal bottle that's dropped in our house lies on my toe.
You need to check that.
You know, why is the reason behind that?
It's not my cup of tea.
Yeah.
Well done.
It's not my cup of tea that.
That makes me, if I get this right, makes me a proper British, no?
Yeah.
Okay.
Do I get a diploma?
Like the royal diploma of like British citizen.
A little something told me.
How do you know that?
Oh, a little told me.
A little, I know, I know it
A little bird
Or a little, I know it
Oh, your mom used it all the time
Bird, there's another word in front of it
What do we call birds in our house
Should you go and feed the
Pigeons
Dickie Birds
Dickie birds, yeah
No, Dickie Bird told me
Yeah, you see I knew it
Oh, almost there
I'll give you three out of three for that
Yes
Yeah, well done
So you're not shocked by any of them phrases
then because you wear her up quite a lot.
Is it busy, lemon is squeezy?
I've never said, I don't say to you
it's not my cup of tea, do I?
I just say, I know my mom says,
my cup of tea.
I normally say I don't fancy that.
They don't do it for me then.
Yeah.
Whereas you'd just say, I don't like this.
Straightforward.
Do you want to do yours?
So, my ones, yeah,
I'm going to say something that's Spanish.
Right.
And you need to tell me what it means.
Oh, I don't speak Spanish,
but I'll try me better.
So, for example, if in Spanish, someone says to you, Mucha Mierda.
Mucho is a lot.
Yeah?
Mierde.
So, I'm going to give you an example in English.
When I go to do the show, yeah?
Yeah.
And someone needs to wish, break a leg.
Yeah.
What did they say?
Break a leg, yeah.
So, Mucha Mierda.
Lots of luck.
Yes.
There we go.
This one, in Boca Serrada, no enter in mosques.
In Boca Serrada, yeah, no enter in mosques.
No idea.
So this means, yeah, in a close mouth, there is no flies entering.
No flies on me, son.
No flies on me.
What that means?
There's no fly, like you say what it is.
There's no flies on me.
No.
means that when you don't...
When you keep your secret?
No, when you give your mouth short.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Trach shit, get banged.
Basically, it's like...
You know, when sometimes it's like you say,
better be quiet because then I don't have problems, do you mean?
Yes.
That makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I don't know don't hurt me.
Yeah.
Kind of like that or like...
Yeah.
I'd rather not be involved.
Yes, that's it.
So someone's gossiping.
I don't want to know.
Don't tell me.
Keep out of it.
Right.
So like, in boca-en-thru-en-mes, kind of like that, you mean?
Yeah.
And the next one.
In an un-abrid and cerrard of eyes.
I heard brie as in cheese.
In one.
In one.
One.
In one open.
Yeah.
In one.
In one.
In an open and cerrary of the eyes.
In one swift move.
In a blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye.
Yeah.
Yeah, basically something they happened very fast.
Oh, you happened in a blink of an eye, that, didn't it?
Is that what you'd say?
For example, that would say, like, I was in the shops or I was in the park with Mia,
and in a very thorough of the eyes, she felt.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
That's what I mean.
Translation, I was on my phone, not paying attention to her, and she fell.
Yeah.
Is that why you keep blinking?
Because you're rhyming what the word says.
I thought there was something in your eye.
I was just doing that so blink of an eye.
Oh, trying to give me.
clues.
Yes.
So what did I get?
Two?
Yeah, let's do three weeks and though I don't even got them, you know?
Well, we've done our game, we've done our dilemma.
We've come separately today, aren't we?
Because after this, so you just let people know what our day consists of now.
You're going home.
I know.
We don't really spend much time together.
I know.
Parenting is hard, isn't it?
It is.
It's the most rewarding, but exhausting.
High five.
It is the most rewarding but exhausting
because we are like passing ships
that we're doing this pod now
but now I've got to drive across
to Manchester City Centre
to do my radio
you've got to go and pick me her up from school
then you've got to get Tiago from nursery
I'll come home from work
the first thing I'll do is walk Benji
so I'm out of the house again
or I walk in Benji
yeah while you're doing the tea
and then we'll get to bed
and we'll finish the last episode of Ed Gein
probably you finished there
because I will fall asleep
He falls asleep and then we wake up tomorrow and you fly in Spain.
I know.
Well,
don't fly until the afternoon.
That's why I said this morning,
oh,
you have another thing on Friday.
Because I thought Fridays,
because Thursday we did the podcast.
Yeah.
And Fridays could be the morning.
They could go for breakfast somewhere.
Well,
we can do that.
I can cancel my other thing.
But the last three fries,
you have one facial.
The other one,
massage.
Then tomorrow.
Because it's the only free morning that I have ever.
It's the only free morning.
Saturdays and Sundays,
Mera's Jiu-Jitsu.
Sunday. Gymnastics Saturday. Monday, I've got a Zoom 11 to 12 every single Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday
we have Tiago. Can we talk about the fact that you have a weekend for yourself? For myself,
I have the kids and Benji with me all weekend. No, you don't. This weekend. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, but I didn't know that until like three days ago. But you have a weekend for yourself.
I have a Saturday afternoon and Saturday night for myself, yeah. Just so you know, I have the CCTV is activated on my phone.
What do you think is going to happen? I can see everything. What do you think is going to happen?
crying. See, that's the thing like
with you. Some
people think, oh, she's got a weekend to herself
she's going to be out in the club, she's going to be
partying, she's going to be in the bath. I'm going to have
a bath and watch a serial killer documentary
and a tablet run. We bend you on the bed
eating white chocolate table around. That's as
sexy as my nights a long get.
With that infrared mask? Infrared mask.
Hair mask. And the strap.
I know a nose strap for me breathing.
And my gum shields.
Forfexy. That's genuinely what I'll be
doing. But I've enjoyed it.
this for our first one yes i just feel like i'm sad i need to find a better position to be sad
your back my back is wrecking now i'm gonna wear tracky bottoms next week so this belt don't
dig in me oh um but i just feel like i want to be with my leg oh my leg straight like that is that much
better but i feel like if i'm like this i'm not looking at you i don't know have you matched
your socks to your jeans it's called like the same palette yeah look at mine yeah oh
what does what does my socks say absolutely absolutely fucking lutely abso fucking lute lady
do.
Are they even match?
No.
Of course, yeah, no, you see.
The other ones are boring.
This is a clear example of us.
Look, this describes us.
Gork has matched his socks to his outfit and I'm wearing odd socks.
Have in mind, this is the power of influence without saying anything.
She wasn't when I wear these clothes.
No, I wanted to wear the trousers.
Like, or a trucking probably.
But he said they were his and I wasn't allowed to wear them.
No, you can wear them.
I didn't say they were.
No, I said, where are the blue trousers that I wore?
They are mine
So I thought well
Bullocks to him then
You said that they send it to me
I was like they didn't send it to you
They were mine
And I said oh let's wear them so we match
Well next week I'm going to wear trackers
In a nice cozy hoodie
And I think because she saw me like this
She was like I cannot go
I bet you're like what
In a lumberjack
What?
Your lumberjack
What is that lumberjack
Someone who chops trees
It's a shirt
Ed Gein wears that
There you go
As if I'm obsessed with that series
It's not him
He's the actor
remember that yeah
when you keep saying things about him
remember that's not the real person
it's the actor yeah
because I keep watching it and thinking
could we oversee the fact that he's done that
because he's attractive
and then he's like
the actor is attractive not the man
he has a great body
the actor
not him
he's in his mum's underpants
but look at his abs
you need to have a look at that
I know
yeah
I mean you and your friends
yeah
Anyway, my friend was confused
because Zach Ephron was cast as Ted Bundy
and she was like, there's no way on this planet
I should be attractive to Ted Bundy
but I am because of Zach Ephron
