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
Starting point is 00:00:44 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 I find out what she's been saying about me.

Starting point is 00:02:37 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.
Starting point is 00:02:57 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
Starting point is 00:03:10 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
Starting point is 00:03:21 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.
Starting point is 00:03:32 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.
Starting point is 00:03:47 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.
Starting point is 00:04:11 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
Starting point is 00:04:56 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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.
Starting point is 00:05:18 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.
Starting point is 00:05:28 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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.
Starting point is 00:05:51 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.
Starting point is 00:06:06 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.
Starting point is 00:06:22 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.
Starting point is 00:06:35 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.
Starting point is 00:06:52 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?
Starting point is 00:07:03 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.
Starting point is 00:07:11 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.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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
Starting point is 00:08:03 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
Starting point is 00:08:14 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
Starting point is 00:08:24 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.
Starting point is 00:08:42 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.
Starting point is 00:08:56 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?
Starting point is 00:09:13 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.
Starting point is 00:09:36 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.
Starting point is 00:09:51 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
Starting point is 00:10:17 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?
Starting point is 00:10:55 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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
Starting point is 00:11:37 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
Starting point is 00:11:52 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
Starting point is 00:12:04 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
Starting point is 00:12:21 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
Starting point is 00:12:36 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
Starting point is 00:12:52 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,
Starting point is 00:13:14 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,
Starting point is 00:13:39 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
Starting point is 00:13:57 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
Starting point is 00:14:13 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.
Starting point is 00:14:27 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.
Starting point is 00:14:50 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?
Starting point is 00:15:12 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.
Starting point is 00:15:30 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.
Starting point is 00:15:48 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
Starting point is 00:16:01 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
Starting point is 00:16:12 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
Starting point is 00:16:26 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
Starting point is 00:16:40 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
Starting point is 00:16:54 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,
Starting point is 00:17:08 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
Starting point is 00:17:22 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.
Starting point is 00:17:35 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.
Starting point is 00:17:46 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
Starting point is 00:17:54 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
Starting point is 00:18:01 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
Starting point is 00:18:07 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
Starting point is 00:18:14 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.
Starting point is 00:18:28 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.
Starting point is 00:18:47 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
Starting point is 00:19:03 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
Starting point is 00:19:16 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.
Starting point is 00:19:42 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
Starting point is 00:19:57 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
Starting point is 00:20:06 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
Starting point is 00:20:16 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
Starting point is 00:20:25 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
Starting point is 00:20:38 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?
Starting point is 00:20:55 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.
Starting point is 00:21:12 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.
Starting point is 00:21:29 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
Starting point is 00:21:52 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.
Starting point is 00:22:20 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?
Starting point is 00:22:44 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.
Starting point is 00:23:06 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
Starting point is 00:23:19 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?
Starting point is 00:23:30 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
Starting point is 00:23:49 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
Starting point is 00:24:00 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
Starting point is 00:24:11 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.
Starting point is 00:24:36 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
Starting point is 00:25:04 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?
Starting point is 00:25:25 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.
Starting point is 00:25:45 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
Starting point is 00:25:57 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
Starting point is 00:26:06 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.
Starting point is 00:26:22 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.
Starting point is 00:26:40 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.
Starting point is 00:26:57 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.
Starting point is 00:27:16 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?
Starting point is 00:27:47 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.
Starting point is 00:28:08 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.
Starting point is 00:28:20 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.
Starting point is 00:28:32 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.
Starting point is 00:28:46 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.
Starting point is 00:28:57 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
Starting point is 00:29:28 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
Starting point is 00:30:09 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?
Starting point is 00:30:19 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?
Starting point is 00:30:30 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
Starting point is 00:30:45 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
Starting point is 00:30:59 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
Starting point is 00:31:14 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.
Starting point is 00:31:27 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.
Starting point is 00:31:43 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.
Starting point is 00:31:58 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.
Starting point is 00:32:18 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.
Starting point is 00:32:34 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,
Starting point is 00:32:48 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.
Starting point is 00:32:58 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?
Starting point is 00:33:07 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.
Starting point is 00:33:20 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.
Starting point is 00:33:33 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.
Starting point is 00:33:52 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.
Starting point is 00:34:04 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.
