Hello, everybody. Lost in translation. Another one. And another one. We're like DJ Callied, aren't we? Yes. Another one. You know, we've come into the studio today

and we've still got Mia's stickers on the back of our iPads last week. Can we acknowledge how well she did and how funny she is? But you know what's funny, though? When the episode came out last week, I took her to school dinner on the Wednesday. Yeah.

And I said to her, do you want to listen to it? And she went, yeah. And she got about five minutes in and she went, yeah. And she put Taylor Swift on the red album. And I said, do you? I said, do you don't want to listen to yourself? She went, no.

Nah. She said, I know what I sound like, Mum. Yeah, she's so chill. She gets her from me. I'm the same. I don't really listen back to the pot. No, you don't like the sound of your own voice, do you? No. I think, I shudder, you stupid twat. On that note, this is lost in translation. We'll go, a keyword twat. Lost in translation, it's Gemma and Gorka.

We listen, we don't judge. It's a judgment-free zone. We play games on here. We solve dilemmas. You guys have been getting in touch loads, which we just love. because it makes us feel quite normal in our silly life, doesn't it? So, yeah, without further ado, Bamos! So before we get on with all the big things of what is happening this weekend, as we are recording this podcast, yeah?

Can we just talk about a few things, right? And I want to acknowledge a few things, yeah. Okay. It happens quite often. And this is with you, listeners, and the people who listens to us or follow us on social media. So I don't know if it happens to you, but happens to me all the time. I get comments.

You know, when they send you a comment or a story or they send you, like, you post on Instagram? Yes. Right. You put a story or something, yeah? I get thousands of comments and I don't understand why everybody thinks that my Instagram is your Instagram. Oh, as if I can't even run mine properly. Yes. So for example, I get a reply like, oh, Gemma, you look fantastic.

Oh, you look fabulous. Oh, thank you. I love you, Gemma. But is that not, if we've collaborated on a post? No, even like. if I reply to my stories, I get in the story. Or like, for example, bless Gorka, you need to tell him this, things like that. And I'm like, do you realize this is my post?

It's my page. So the slagging you off to me, but on your page, brilliant. Keep those coming. Or they go like, oh, Gemma, I'm with you in this one. Yeah, good. You know what I mean? I'm like, guys, this is my Instagram. It's not Gemma.

So if you're slagging him off, come to my Instagram. Yeah, I'm like, I mean, I don't mind it, you know, but. And then the other one is someone messes me, I post the video of our last episode, the podcast. Yeah. And someone says, I screenshot it, someone said, that you baby glowing, Gemma. I'm what, baby glowing? Yes. So what does that mean?

Like my skin? I don't know if it's baby glowing. It's gematonic. That's what my skin is, bates. So the message said, Gemma has a baby glow. Oh, Gorkner actually said I looked pregnant the other day, didn't you? I didn't say you look pregnant. I said that specifically you...

These top makes you look pregnant. No, you dislike how you look with that top that you were wearing. I was sat slouch. And I said, to be honest, and I said specifically... Specifically, I said, the way that you sat, it makes you look like you're pregnant. Because you're... My boobs? Yes.

Your boobs... You started the episode with the word twat and you scared of saying boobs. Your boobs are quite predominant in that top. My boobs are epic. And then that you were sat with your tummy, it was a bit like... Well, let's clear up. I'm 100% not pregnant. I'm currently sat on a period as we speak, which you know.

I've been wearing your Calvin Klein's for the last two days. I always nick his boxes when I'm on my period. Funny not the other day, funny story. I was in the gym, remember, in the morning before the kids woke up. And Mia, you have to walk her up, yeah? Yeah. And she came straight to the gym to say, good morning to me. So I was in the gym and I said, I have one more set,

and then I will go back, showering. get dressed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mommy's having a shower too. And by the way, she's wearing your underwear. Is that what she said to you? You know, it's just comfier.

Nice. I'm at the stage, like, you won't know, you don't have periods, but you just need to feel comfortable. Baggy trousers, baggy pants or knickers. Yeah. Chocolate. Grandma's sneakers.

Yeah. And then you go like, over and I was like, you're wearing my underwear, it's nothing that's appealing to that. Mia's hilarious because she'll go, because she just, she just knows about periods already,

don't she? It's weird. Not in depth. She just knows. that once a month I have them because the amount of times parents will relate if you have kids in the house or in fact a dog you can't go to the toilet on your own

I go to the toilet Tiago comes in Mia comes in Benji comes in they're all in and once I was on my period and Mia went what's that it's like out of the blue so I said it's just a period and she went what's the period I said it's just something

I said every couple of weeks every four weeks mum will have it I said it's fine nothing to worry about I said when you're older you'll get it I said, every girl gets one. Then she said, does Nana have one? I said, not anymore, but she did. Does Auntie Nina have them? I said, yeah.

Does Auntie Laura? I said, every female in our family, Mia, has a period. Only in our family. Yeah. And I said, it's something, I said, you will have. I said, it's not for a long, long time, though. This was years ago. So now, occasionally...

I mean, not about many years, but, yeah. Well, about two years ago. Yeah, yeah. Occasionally, she'll go, mom, you're on your period. I go, yeah, why? And she'll go, there's a bit of blood in the toilet. She's just like, she's just so open with it. I do clean it.

Well, not if she's hoarded. So she's just very open with it, which she's good. Yeah. She needs to be. But talking of social media and replying to DMs, if you do want to get in touch, it's lost.dot in dot podcast. That's our social media account.

Do you want to say it in Spanish? No. Shanai? Yeah. 0776. 1.0. 3, no, 8, no, be 8. Yeah, but it's no.

0. 0. Yeah. Zero. Yeah. Very good. Well, that was my few things I have to share from Shudon Media. Should we crack on with the episode now?

We've actually got, actually, before we start, we've received a message from a listener. Oh, yes. This is from Claire. She wants to know. I've never thought about this. Does Gorka think in Spanish or English? Do you dream in English? Yeah.

So you think and dream in English? Yes. Not your mother tongue. For example, when I was working in Spain, I have to think in English, and then when I was in English translated to Spanish. There's many words right now that I don't know how to say them in Spanish.

How long did it take you to learn English? I'm still learning. Yeah, but you start, I mean, you, because when I first said to you, You had to because you were just thrown into it on a cruise ship where it was English speaking, so you just said I had to learn it. Yeah, but that's impressive to me. No, I used to speak before.

I mean, I had the odd school in Spain. You have three hours a week of English. Oh, that's more than you have at Spanish. Yeah. That makes sense. And then you, for example, some kids in high school, they go to, like, extra English academies to do the exams to have the levels of English to travel or do, like, send them to Ireland for, do like, I don't know.

Like a placement thing. Like two months in Ireland to do English. I make sense. I don't know why they go Ireland to do English. It's very famous from Spain. Go to Ireland and go to Scotland or Wales. Probably is like cheaper than... Yeah, it's true.

I know, it's true. It's just funny. It's like me saying, we go to Germany to learn Spanish. Do you know what I mean? No, but they go to Ireland to learn English. Yeah, I know. But they speak Irish as well as English in Ireland. Yeah, but it's English, no?

Without Irish accent. What? They speak English with, in Ireland, they speak English with Irish accent, no? Yes, but I'm saying Ireland is its own country, so it's not like... It's... Not like England. Yeah. Yes, but it's cheaper.

Oh, okay. That makes sense, probably. Yeah. Yeah. Put it in that way. Oh, okay. Ireland's cool, actually. Have you ever been?

No. Have you never been? Yes, I've been with you in Belfast. Yeah, that was an airport. We did a tour. But you've never been for like a weekend. No. I want to go to the cliffs and stuff like that.

Yeah. Yeah. It is really, really nice. There you go Claire. He speaks Spanish and English, thinks in English, dreams in English. Yes. Everything in English. Everything in English.

Have you seen the note underneath what Claire said? No. I've really just seen this. This is from producer Henry. Stick around because in this week, our game, we're going to be learning a language that neither of us speak. Oh. So then I'm going to say. It's funny that obviously I'm no English speaking in my first language.

and there's words that I don't even know sometimes but it's funny sometimes she's writing sometimes you go like, Gorka, how do you spell this word? And are you asking me? I'm Spanish. Yeah, no, I ask you. That's my excuse with Mia. With Mia, I go, Papa, how do you read this? I'm like sorry, I'm Spanish.

Ask you mom. Benji was won, by the way. He just had his birthday, didn't he? We had a little birthday party for him at home. It was the cutest thing. You woof that cake. Yeah, he did. It was his trainer Paul,

who we see on a Monday made him a lamb liver cupcake. So it was just lamb's liver, flour and eggs, he said, and then he put a tiny bit of cream cheese in it. He absolutely loved it. Which Diago was tempted to go and eat them.

He thought they were cupcakes for him to. They did look like edible cupcakes, but I said to you dinner, do not let him go anywhere near them. I mean, he probably wouldn't have done him any arm. He was in his high chair, you're having dinner, and he finished, and they were on the Tupper word.

And he was like, sweet. And I was like, Tiago sweets. And I was like, they're not fish like, yes. No, it's for Benji. He wanted to eat them. I was like, no. He wants to eat everything. Yeah, true.

He's going through a Hulk stage at the minute. He keeps saying Hulk smash and then just punching whatever's in front of him. Apparently the other day in nursery when I went to pick him up, he was having lunch. And I think one of the children expelled the glass of water and went over Tiago. So Tiago got upset and they have to change him, yeah? So you know how they had these pairs jumpers. Yeah. So he went to go through.

all the jumpers to look at them until he found the Hulk one and he wore the Hulk. Oh. Which we need to bring you back by the way. Yeah, we'll wash it and take it back. Yeah, it's probably I'll really wash. I just need to bring it back later. He always comes home in different clothes because he's had an accident or something. Also, by the way, so you're going to the Brits this weekend?

Yes. How was your outfit fitting? It was okay, yeah. I was more excited than her, probably. Yeah, he said to me afterwards, so Ryan, who's our mate and also a fantastic stylist, He does all outfits for us for events, doesn't he? You get some all, because it's the least thing I'm asked about, to be honest, is fashion, as you can clearly tell from this podcast with what I wear.

But no, he's got me some YSL trousers and a belt. It's a Chanel bag, which I personally, I mean, you heard me. I said to him, what the hell do you expect me to get in this? It's about that big. It's like a little pint glass, not even that. It's just for your lip gloss. He went, he looks good, babes. I said the practicality of that.

I need my house keys and even my phone and my credit card all in there. Do you know what I mean? No case. Yeah, because the iPhone, you take your hanging grandma's case and put it back there. Yeah, because I need practicality. He's got me a shirt from, that designer always used to have a cat. Carl Legafel. Oh, yeah, yeah.

They've got his shirt. The jacket is Chanel. Nice. Yeah. I said to him, I would have just been fine in a bit of Adidas for me. I mean, too. But yeah, so it's going to be nice. It's going to look lovely.

And the thing is, because I'm going to be on my period rank at the Brits, it's going to be fine because I'm in trousers. So no one's going to be like, I don't have to worry about any accidents. Don't forget your pants, yeah? Yeah. And the heels, I had the heels on. They're yellow Jimmy Chu heels. And as soon as I had them on, what was the first thing I said to you within minutes of wearing?

Oh, my back was wrecking. My back was wrecking. I don't know how people wear high heels. us for so long. But yes, we've had Benji's birthday, the Brit Awards prep, and of course, Mio was on last week. Thank you for all your lovely messages. You've all been so sweet. We had to bring her and it was half term. But like I say, she didn't listen back. She listened to her a few minutes and then she was like, nah, let's put Taylor Swift on. Yeah, she loves it. So, yeah, it was good, but she's back at school now. She's, um, she's got, what is it to do? She's got forest school

at the minute, aren't she this week? Yeah, she's so excited. She starts forest school, which I love, because they get to be outside in hammocks and the toast, marshmallows, climbed trees. She's pre-warned as she'll be, I'll be cold and muddy. She said, I said, there's no bad weather, just bad clothing. You'll be wrapped up, don't worry about it. So that's what's been happening in our week. It's been quite manic, hasn't it?

Yeah, I'm going to London this weekend also. You're in London. You've got your dance classes. You're working. Walker's teaching some salsa. Is it just salsa? No, salsa, Charleston and cha-cha-cha. So you're doing it in Manchester and London.

Yeah. What do you prefer to teach? Salza. More fun. We can play bad money. That's why. If I wasn't at the Brits, I would have come to the Manchester class, genuinely.

Yeah, you should, yeah. Are you going to do it again? I would love to, yeah. If you do it again, I'll come to the Manchester class. Yeah, we should do one big one. But I wouldn't do three classes. I would do maybe just one or two, or one of like an hour and a half.

And then like nice coffee and cake after. Yeah, yeah. Maybe we can bring some cookies after for the people who comes. You could do a triple C, Charleston cookies then cake. We can do a podcast episode and a class together. I mean, I can't teach the class.

Yeah, yeah, but that would be nice. So every week, all the audience comes to the podcast to listen, they can come into the class. There you go. So obviously this is called Lost in Translation. We know why. Yeah. Should we crack on with the debate of this week?

Let's do it. So each week, myself and gawks both bringing something that maybe annoyed us about each other, maybe something that made us laugh, maybe something that happened that we just tell each other about for the first time here. You seem angry with yours What's that?

What have I done? No, no angry. Well, obviously we say we don't judge But this is a thing You say and judge Yeah This is a picture

Are you trying to zoom on a picture I always have proofs You've took a picture as proof Yeah, I just walked in through the house And I took a picture It's like you'd have been battered in school So now We're going to insert the picture right here

And Gem is still living What picture is it? It's your four pairs of shoes in the front of the house. Oh, goaker. Yeah. Why don't you move them for me then?

You know, I've had a bad bag. And that, that is only on the front of the house when you open the door on the right, yeah? If I open the cupboard under the stairs where it's for the jackets, the other day I shouted her like, Gemma, why is the need of have like 75 jackets here and shoes? Literally. Because it's the weather, I don't know what the weather's going to be like.

Every afternoon, when I come back from school pickup, yeah? Yeah. And the kids take the shoes off, I have to put the shoes back in every rack of the shoes held that we have, yeah? The next day in the morning, it's like if I haven't done it. So imagine doing that seven times a week. Do you not just think to yourself at this point, you could just think it's annoying, but I love her anyway and I'll just not bother it again.

No, it annoys me even more. Because I leave my shoes. No, no, it's that. It's one and the other. You leave your shoes there sometimes. The pair that I'm wearing that day, yes. Then I put it on the top of the stairs. And every time that I go up, I put them back on the shoes.

shoe. You have a walking wardrobe with a whole wall of shoe cells to put your shoes on. Shoes shells. You can feed there. I have 300 pairs of shoes. Yeah. They fit perfect all in there. You have five. That's why I keep mine at the downstairs. No, do you don't have five? It's an example. I know. I have a lot more, but they're all the same shoe. Yeah. They are everywhere. I only have trainers. They're everywhere. Okay. So your dilemma is I've not picked my shoes up. One of them, yeah. Mine is, he's. It didn't annoy me. I just found it funny.

I think if... Are you making it up? No, because you were there when it happened. What is it? And you actually went, oh, I'm so sorry. Is it totally again? No, you panicked. You went, I'm sorry.

What? So we have loads of eggs. I have 21 eggs a week. Oh, I just put the... I thought it, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it was, you thought. That is even annoying. No, it's just...

I just confused the boxes and I got the wrong box inside. Basically, we buy... We have organic free-range eggs. I'm quite obsessive about it, aren't I? About my eggs. But Gorka likes egg whites as well. So he either buys egg whites. It's not that I like egg whites, but I need to have egg whites,

so I don't want to waste eggs. So rather than waste the eggs, he buys egg whites. But sometimes if we don't have egg whites in, he will crack the eggs, but put the yolk in the shell. And he puts the shell and the yolk back in the box, back in the carton. Not always. Only when I know is I'm going to finish the box. Let me finish.

Perhaps I'll finish you. And so we put some back in the box. And then this one time there was eggs and egg yolks balancing in the box. And then I didn't realize I got the box out to cook my eggs. And all that was in it was shells and egg yolks, just mess. And you were there and you must have seen my face because you literally went, oh, so sorry. I'm sorry.

And then you had to check the bin because you thought you'd put the full carton in the bin. You hadn't. The full carton was where the eggs were. You just put all the eggs back. Yeah. And if there had been no more eggs That would have really annoyed me But that was my

So like, like I said It's not a big deal It was just like Oh, come on Two same boxes I was tidying up At the same time that I was cooking So I put the wrong one

That's fine It's okay But you should actually Put the yolks down the sink Because sometimes the box sticks to them And the eggs break I never put the eggs on the sink

Why? It will close the sink And then you get the smell Through the sink Not if you stir them down first So you put them straight in the bin Yeah And then the bin put it out

Yeah Oh just give him Benji Egg Yoke That would be great for Benjure that. Okay, there you go. Yeah? Just put it in his raw food. Just mix it in.

You should have like an organi, how is he called it? We have to have a bin for a dispensable food and that goes in there. Yeah, Clive brought us one, but I put bird seed in it, aren't it? Yeah. Yeah, because I have to feed the birds every morning. That's what you do. Especially this time of year. They can't get birds.

Like, for example, what you do is you put that in there with the egg shells and everything. and that goes into brown bean. Brown's garden? No, it shouldn't be a garden. It should be like all of that. Oh, I didn't make up the council. Brown's garden, greens cardboard, blues, bottles, or organic, all the old, like,

so then they can use it to, like, recycle and make things. Okay, there you go. You know what it was? When I was staying in London, one of the house that we stayed in London in Arduino, in the sink, the house had this thing, all the food, you put it there, and you open the tab,

and the body goes in, but it blends it all, And it goes like a... Like a gobbler. We used to have one of them. Where I used to live. It's like an old thing. We used to call it a gobbler. Yeah.

Hmm. Yeah. Well, who do you agree with? Let us know and agree to disagree. It's completely up to you. Lost. Dot in dot podcast on social media. Lost in Translation at Bowermedia.com.

Okay, Jim, now is when we resolve a dilemma.

Yeah? I'm very excited about this one. Let me see what it is. This week's dilemma comes in from Joe. Thank you for listening and getting in touch, Joe. She says, I'm a stay-at-home mum to three children. Oh, you must be knackered, Joe.

My husband is 40 and he works six. six days a week, 4.30 until midnight. That's long. 4.30 a.m.? No, before 30 p.m. 4.30 a. That would be highly illegal. He will come to bed.

You'll come to bed around 2.30, 3 o'clock in the morning and then sleep until after 12. Sometimes he won't wake up until 2 and it really frustrates me that all he wants to do is sleep. I do everything for the children. I take them to dance class, football training. I even do the shopping all on the bus as I don't drive. I feel like. I'm the caregiver for four children while he just sleeps the day away. Is it unreasonable to be frustrated at him when he won't wake up after 12

and help do the simplest of things like put his own rubbish in the bin or put his own plate in the sink after having food that night? P.S. Love the podcast. Oh wow. Quite a serious one, isn't it, that's a day? That could cost a divorce, you know? I won't go that far. There's three kids involved.

You have to really, really think before you just go. As if you went to that level, divorce. Yeah. There's a family there. It is a tough one, Joe. and it is frustrating because if he's going to bed around 233. But why so late if he was until 12 only? Because he might need to wind down when he comes in.

You don't just come home from work and go straight to bed. I don't. You like to wind down a bit. Yeah. I mean, like he comes home at 12, yeah? You just need to shower and go bed. It depends what his job is. If he's got a highly stimulating job...

Well, when I perform and I go straight to bed. If he went to start going to bed at half one... one, two, and he slept till 12. That is a good amount of sleep. Even if he goes to bed at two, and he wake up at like 9.30, seven and half hours, 10 o'clock, wake up at 10 o'clock. It's eight hours, yeah? Yeah.

Then you find to do the rest of the things. What I'm with with Joe is because a lot of people, they still say, oh, you're just a moment. Oh, that's, that's it. And it's like, that in itself is a full-time job. Yeah, 100%. Especially, like, she's got three kids. And not driving. She needs to go on.

Not driving. No, I don't think it's unreasonable to be frustrated at him, but it's a level of frustration you have to have coming from a place of understanding his work commitment and understanding his work is obviously paying the family, but also your work is keeping the family house run, is keeping the family sane, is keeping the kids in a routine. So you both need to step up and help each other.

It's little things like, I don't know, you could rather than just demand him up at 12, of you could go in at 12 with a bit of breakfast and a brew, say, here you go, breakfast ready. When you've had that, would you mind doing this, this and this? And him doing things like getting on from work, going to bed a little bit earlier and saying, do you know what, I'm getting up at 11 tomorrow

because I know she needs me to do this. It's like compensating for each other. Because when you're away, you know how tough it is for me, but I also know when you're back, if you have 24 hours off, I also know that you need to sleep and recover because your job is demanding physically and mentally. But you stretch yourself to do both because you know yours is just a tour. If you had that 24-7 like Joe's husband does, that would be frigging hard to do that.

Do you know what I mean? Shift work is awful. Your circadian rhythms all over the gaff. Peter, my stepdad, used to do shifts and he was grumpy as hell after a shift because there's no natural light. It's just awful. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean? But I mean, he's not doing shifts.

He's working four-thirty. He's eight hours work. No, I mean, like in the night. He's working through the night. I mean, I just feel like he shouldn't be going to bed at 2 in the morning because you finish at 12. Probably half. The only reason is if he lives an hour away from work, which I don't know.

So you think he should go to bed earlier and get up earlier to help? He's not going to have dinner at that time. If he's hungry when he can have a snack on the way home in the car, like when I do the shows in the night, I wake up at, sometimes I do shows come home at 2 in the morning. I'm waking up at 8 in the morning with you. Only because I clang and bang about to make sure he is up at 8 o'clock in the morning. Again, it's not the same one-off.

No, that's what I mean. It's a one-off. But I don't know. I do see it from both sides. I see it from his side in that he'll be thinking, I'm doing the work. I'm bringing in the money. But it is a massive, massive task. Also, he can change the world.

Maybe he can try to change the shift during, no? Yeah. But a lot of people think it's easy. Like my friend has Friday's off. Laura has Fridays off, don't she? And genuinely, she says to me the amount of people who always say, so what you're doing on your day off then, what you're doing on Friday? And she says, I'm like, I've got two kids.

I need to do the big shop. I need to sort the house. I need to strip the beds. I need to do the washing. I need to take the kids to school, pick them up from school. Take them to have to school club. She says, and then by about 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock, I'll have a Friday evening to myself.

But also, for example, how old are the kids? They must be in school already. So if they're in school, she has more free time to do other things. Because if they're in school Football training Yeah If they are in school They will be in school

From 9 to 4 9 to 3 Yeah it does make you think Like at one point So my sister's got three kids They're all adults now So the 22 25 and 27

But at one time Nina would have had A newborn A 3 year old And a nearly 5 year old Like And Nina and Rob They never ever

complained once They just got on with it Yes. Because there was no other option. Whereas I looked back at me when I had Mia and Tio and you had to go on tour and I remember thinking to myself, how the hell am I going to do this?

I've got the two dogs. I've got a newborn child. I've got a toddler and he's on tour. What the friggin I'm supposed to do? And you're on another dog now? Yeah, well, I do. Now they're older. Now the kids are older.

But it is, it's tough. It is really hard. And then my mum always reminds me. Bless, we mentioned Nana Joyce, didn't we? Shout out to Nana Joyce. God rest her. You all loved Nana Joyce. So there was Nana Joyce.

There was Auntie Edna, anti-Sheela and Auntie Gladys. They were... What are names, you know? I know. Gladys Sheila, Edna and Joyce. More English names. If you picked her like Auntie Sheila, I would be those names, you know?

My Auntie Edna used to always call Ollie the dog a little bastard because he used to go in her purse. Whenever she'd come around, she used to put a massive handbag near the couch and he'd go straight in and get her hanky. She always had an hanky. and he used to get it

and she'd go get out you little bastard that's all she used to say to him but they always used to remind me my auntie ender we had four kids no nappies it was a safety pin nappy

no milk dispensers and we got it you don't know how good you've got you get it and I do get that that's what she used to say now it's everything like easy prep machines

this there yeah those prep machines were a lifesaver for us do you remember you're pressing the buttons with your eyes shut thinking

where's the milk nowadays You can go, hey, Siri, make me a bottle and makes you a bottle. Do you remember that one time I expressed loads and loads of milk? And I used to get so, so happy when I got loads of milk. And I used to take a picture of dinner and send it you and say, look how much I've got. And do you remember that one time I rung you, I was in absolute bits because, oh, it saved so much breast milk. And I spilled the whole carton.

Literally, it was this, it was like a pint of breast milk all over the kitchen floor. And they say, no point crying over spilled milk. I sobbed. I don't remember. I was like, oh my God, it took me so long. Anyway, so Joe, back to Joe, we digress, sorry. What's your advice? Tell him to get up earlier, go to bed earlier.

I don't know. I think it's a difficult one. If I was me, I would be a move. I think it comes from one. I mean, like, for example, I leave the plate and the scene or wash it. I want to wash it, you know what I mean? I'd have a conversation with him, Joe. I just goes with each individual.

I think he might be one individual who, yeah. I don't know. Go, because he's not about, yeah, I know what you're thinking, you're thinking of the word lazy, because you're up and out. But I would, what I would do, Joe,

I'd chat to him, but from a place of, I know you're knackered after work, I totally get it, but I'm literally run off my feet all day with these kids and need a bit of help. And then at the weekend,

do something together as in, even if it's just put the kids in one room, both have dinner together, get that little connection back. Yeah. But I would, I get the first. frustration, I do get it, because it is tough.

But let us know how it goes, Joe. Good luck. Good luck. You've a luzz. That's what I'd be saying to Joe's hobby. But no, thank you for getting in touch, Joe, and I hope you get resolved with everything. Should we do a game?

Should lighten the mood with a game? Yes, let's pick up the game. As it was St David's Day this week, happy St. David's Day. our producers have found us some Welsh phrases for us to learn. We should have got Gethe on. We should have got Gethe Jones on here.

Ponte Pondy Pondy. Pondy Pondy. That was Fireman Sam. Fireman Sam, yeah. Hello, Mia. It's Fireman Sam here. Okay, so I've got a word. Yeah.

You've got the pronunciation and the clue for it. So should I try and say the word? Can I just say before we go in there? Can they, how can even like Welsh people read this? There's like, it's kind of like. It's readable. But they probably look at English and think, how do we read that? Yeah, but this is, English makes sense.

Even if you don't read it in the pronunciation of the English, you can read it. You mean, this is just like consonants next to a consonant. How are, like, how you... Look at you. You think you are, Karam Vorderman. How do you read C-W-N? You know what I mean?

So my word is quith. Quich. Okay, so it's pronounced Kutch. Kutch? Yeah. So there's no you in it. How can it be pronounced Kutch?

Yeah. And the claimant, it's like... What's the clue? Jemma hates to Kutch. I hate a lot of things. Um... Kutch. And I love it.

To clean. I mean, I hope you don't hate... Ham. I love to kutch Kudul? Yeah Hogue Dimkunar gilly

Blair meyerty bag. Back. What does that mean? Where's the toilet? Where's the toilet? Honestly. It's a really hard language. If you're learning Welsh and you're not from Wales,

I take my hat off to you. Why would you, though? Oh, you'll get this one because it says the word, isn't it? Do you know what? I pronounce easier when Nancy and Carlos takes me some Chinese, it's easier than this, you know? Do you get coffee? Are you getting coffee?

Pediwich agialu chowen. Ah, is that right? That means don't save your bush, do you know? Don't shave your bush? I mean shave it, yeah, but that's what it means. I hope you shave him, but don't... Someone messaged about that, when you mentioned about shaving a bush, a woman messaged and she said,

could you please stop shaming hair. My partner's a real man and he loves me and my bush. I was like, we weren't shaming hair. We were just saying, It was the word groom, not bald. If I'm bored, it would like a dolphin's mouth, wouldn't it? You know what I mean?

I don't understand what you need to do this. The little knuckle. But she said, my partner's a real man who can handle me and my bush. I thought, good for them. Yeah. I didn't say I can't. I would just go with the trimmer.
