Do you know what? I'm just excited if we do. one day like a live episode with audience, I think that will turn into like stand-up show, you know? Oh, I won't go that far. What you mean? We don't want to stand-up for that long. No stand-up, like a comedy show.

I know what you meant. I was trying to be funny, hence the comedy. Oh, this is what we mean when we get lost in translation, isn't it? Yeah, you look beautiful today. I look beautiful. Yeah. I have a glowing face. Last time that I saw you, you have a...

I haven't seen you for many, like in a few weeks. Are you going to say many years then, weren't you? No, like many weeks. It's been 83 years. No, but the last time that I saw you before I went on tour, you had your face thing. Today is no red, so it's been healing. It's sweat because I've been rushing to get you. Yeah. I think it looks glowing. Yeah, it's just my natural aura. It's gem and tonic babes. No, I'm not doing babes.

No, I don't do babes. Who does babes? No, I don't know. Not me. Someone called Gemma that's babes, but it's something else, no? Babes. Yeah, it's not Gemma Collins. He was like, you're right, babes. All right, babes. Yeah, she's a... six isn't it that? I'd say hon. No, love. Duck.

Really? Duck. I'm a duck. No, that's... No, duck's not from here. Ducks are not from... Nanda Joyce was still around. She'd say, I go up a duck. How are you? And you go, you never called me love or never called me like... Not you, but I call the kids. I sometimes say to me, are you what, love? Oh, Tiago, Tiago's dude at the minute. He wants to call everyone dude. I'm a dude. The last time that I pick up the kids from your moms, he went to your moms. Bye, dude. And fist pumped her. Yeah. He keeps calling everyone.

everyone dude and fist pumping them. But anyway, we're going to start the air. We're going to catch up. Without further ado, Bamos. Can I ask you something? Yes. How come sometimes it's Bamanos and sometimes it's Vamos?

Is there a difference? Vamonos? Yeah. It means like, vamonos as nosotros. We. Vamonos is like, Vamos, everybody, Vam!

So I'm saying without further ado, you're just saying we. No. Without further ado, us. No. Doesn't make sense, is it? The ending means us, we're living. Like if I say we're living, or just live.

What does let's go mean? Let's go, it's bamos! And then, vamonos is like us. Vamonos. Imagine if I said you, let's go to this place. And I say, oh, no, I don't like it. Vamonos. It means, like, I don't like this place.

Let's go. Yeah. Vamonos, us. Okay. Yeah. But if I say, Vamos, it could be for everybody. So I think for the party,

it should be vamos. You should be Vamos for everyone. It's not just us, is it? Yeah, come on. Like, Raphael and I, it's like, let's go. Bamos! Yeah, come on. With his thick left forearm.

He has a thicker arm than the right, didn't he? That was so wrong. No, he does, because he's left-handed. Yeah, thank God you said left arm. Yeah, with his thick. Yeah, it's known that Rafa has a bigger bison. Yeah, and I was doing, Bamos, it's like, yeah, with he's thick. If you're playing tennis with your left hand all day.

Yeah. Take note, it'll get bigger. All the swing. Do you know what day it is today? You have a big four arms, by the way. I do. I've got big biceps. I've got that bicep.

What are you doing with them? Oh, by the way, if you do want to see the app as well as hear it, head to YouTube and please like and subscribe because you'll get to see us on YouTube. Have enough. I just got a tack on an Instagram. Someone was like, mourning loves with these two. And she was like, I think it's a she because the name was a female. You never know.

No, I know because she comes to the workshops, the dance classes. Oh, okay. She was like in the living room with a blanket and they have the tele with the podcast. Oh, bless her. Can I tell you what day it is today? It's a really... Surprise me. It's a really special day today.

And if anyone today is feeling... Because I'm here. You see me? No. If anyone's feeling grateful, energetic, spiritual, fancy and going outside barefoot, do it because today... Oh, you're going on your Zen things. It's not only Earth Day, it's the 22nd, 22nd, 22nd. is one of the most powerful angelic numbers. Lacking number for me, huh?

Yeah, it's me's favorite number. So it's the 22nd of April. It is Earth Day. So it's get outside in nature, look around, be grateful for Mother Nature. Let's try not to ruin it. Are we grounding? I grounded this morning, went outside barefoot this morning, as I always do. I mean, that's you in general.

I was going to say, I do it every day. That's why I'm so chill and Zen, though. Well, also because probably one of your sleepers is bye-bye Benji. and your socks will be like on the bin probably because I put them there. What you're grateful for from Mother Nature? From oxygen. Oxygen. The trees, the birds.

Everything. The rivers, I'm like Pocahontas to meet today, me. Nice. Just around the river bend. Just to like don't contaminate, take care of the earth. Yeah. Put your rubbish in the bin. We are here, but we're going to leave this for other people.

So it's like when you go and live a hotel room, you live it nice and tidy. We're here sharing the planet. That's the message for Earth Day. it's not our planet and we live like... Well it is our planet No it's not we're sharing it

It's our planet It is our planet Not just us It's from everybody All the species All the trees and everything So we only need to take care of it With the Earth Day

I said to you this morning Dinner on FaceTime I was going around Picking up snails from the garden Because we had someone coming jet washing And I didn't want them to get blasted And the little snail

We have a lot of snails in our garden And we got a toad well, which you guys know about. It's bringing us good-looking fortune. But yeah, my message on Earth Day is humans tend to think we own the planet. Like we have more of a right to be here than anything else, and we don't. Great white sharks were here long before us. I think that's only people.

It's only what people? Pricks. Pricks, that's true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I like that you're using that strong monk word. Yeah. I think you've changed your attitude towards animals since meeting me.

No. Yes, you have. No. I feel the same way. No, you've softened with Benji. No, because I love Benji, the same way that I love Norman when he was here. I'm not on about Norman Olly and Benji. I'm on about like the sheep in the garden, for example.

Gemma, I always, can you remember my grandparents had a farm in Portugal? I had pigs, rabbits, chickens, hens, horses, pists. But you were speaking to horses the other month. And I did always. I used to ride them. Yeah, no, that's what you think. What about spiders? I don't bother with spiders.

I just, I kill spiders. There you go. If I have to. Why would you have to kill it? What's it going to do? That gives you the right to have to kill it. Oh, a fly. I will kill a fly.

Why? Because it annoys me. That's it. Imagine if someone listening to this saying Gawker annoys me, I'm going to kill him. Try to kill me. I invite you to try. See what happens. Well, I think you've softened in a good way.

Mm-hmm. That's what I'm saying. I never would have seen you a few, four or five years ago, stood in a field going, come on. I did all the time. Yeah, but not in front of me. You didn't. But why not?

I don't know. You used to take the middle out of me. I don't mind animals. I love them and I'm happy to be around them. I'm not just with you. I know what is the line. Do you mean? You don't.

Do I go past the line? The problem with you is that you think the animals are humans. Do you know? If you could, that ship, you will bring. it in the house and have it on the end of your bed to sleep with it. Absolutely. No. My mom was the same.

I have picture of my mom with a baby bottle feeding a little lamb in our living room. I'm not like this. I feel like in my past life, whenever I've had like Reiki and cards, in my past life, I lived like in a forest like Pocahontas, genuinely. I'm going to ask my mom and dad to send me pictures of me. You know when they say like, Dad, how you were at the 90s? Or when I was like in the 90s. Yeah, 92,000 in my grandma's farm with the donkeys, the horses and everything, and you believe it.

What were you like in the 90s trend? If it came to you, Dad, what were you like in the 90s? You were literally just born, weren't you? No. You were born in 1990. Yeah, so I lived in the 90s. I was 5, 6. You were born in 1990.

Yeah, I used to run freewheeler in the beach. In the nude? Yeah. I used to love it. We were talking. No tan lines. We were talking at work yesterday about... embarrassing injuries, like really, really embarrassing injuries,

and Toulon went, well, I was hoovering the nude. Don't get me got sucked by the Hoover, by Henry. He was about to say it, and producer Matt went, no, no, no, no, no, no. So we have to just move on, but that's how it started. Oh, nice. I was one day who've ringing the nude. We've got some lovely messages to read out. I know.

Do you want to read one? Should I ring, Jen? You read the next one? I think you've read all of them. Me? I read very fast, and my reading in, English is not great. It's better than my reading in Spanish.

Don't you worry, Cocker? So do you just call me... Cocker. It's a nice thing. It's not like... Yeah, yeah. You're not better or anything like that. No, I know.

It's nice. And Goka de Coker. Gawker. Thank you for getting in touch, by the way. It's really... It always baffles me that people take the time out to a message. It's genuinely so lovely. So thank you.

Jen has said, hi, Gemmon and Gawker. I love the podcast. I also love your TV show. Will that be coming back? DBC. Stay tuned. Yeah, stay tuned for that one. I've just listened to the last four episodes back to back

and I've laughed so much. I'm from Liverpool, nice. My husband is from Barcelona. 20 years together, 10 years married and we have a lovely 5-year-old daughter. I laugh so much listening to you both because a lot of the mistranslations and culture difference happen in our house too.

We speak English, Catalan and Spanish at home. That's incredible. That's amazing. So we're all a bit confused most of the time, but I find it quite endearing. I bet they have a nice pantomaca in their house. A nice what? Pan to macca. What's a pantomaca?

You love it, pantomaca. What is it a pig? No. What is it? You love it. Panemaka is the bread with the tomato and the salt and the olive oil. Nice. It's original from Barcelona and it's a specific type of bread.

It's not just normal bread. It's like a flat one? No, it's the round one, but it's like a, oh, how's the name? I don't remember. We can ask Jen if her husband can. can let us know the name of the bread. It's a specific bread and you can have it with garlic or not garlic. And what they do is the, you know, the garlic cloths?

They rub it on. They rub it on the bread when it's warm. Yeah. And then the tomato with the olive oil and the sea salt on top. But it's a specific bread. It's not, you can do it with any bread, but the proper one is that one. It's like rounded, like, you know when you go to the supermarket here? Yeah.

And you have the round one. Like a cob. Yeah, like very, it's like a small round. soft in the middle, so you get like big, big, long toasts like that. Nice. Pan del Pallés. There we go. Pan del Pallés.

Gorka reminds me so much of my hobby, moaning about my shoes in the hallway and has ever made, and he's even made a video of it in the past. When he speaks English, he has a Scouse accent now. That's brilliant, a Spaniard with a Scouse accent. I know. I have very strong Spanish accent. Why is that?

I'm gutted. There was no camera phones when we met because I'd love to know how he sounded. I wanted to ask whether you felt the same as what I'm about to explain. I'm about to explain. I lived in Barcelona with my husband for eight years. I felt very welcome there, maybe because I made a massive effort to learn Catalan, but obviously I was still a foreigner. We moved back to the UK in 2011.

Even though I was born and raised here till I moved to Spain at age 17, I still feel like I don't fully belong here either. My husband also feels the same about the UK and his hometown, after living here for so long. At least we have each other to share the feeling, but we worry about our daughter. We will move back to Spain in a few years and worry will she have the feeling of not belong.

Do you understand this, Gorka? Your Mia was the cutest little thing talking on the podcast. Keep up the fabulous work you're doing. Your little family is just adorable. I understand what you mean. I have filled away with my hometown. But you don't belong there anymore. Yeah.

And the only reason I go there is to see my mom and dad. That's why I don't really go because I see my mom and dad, but then I don't have no one there. That makes sense? I have this plain. So I'm from Elbao, but when I was 16, I moved to Valencia for a year. and I came back

and then when I was 17 to turn 18 I moved to Madrid and then I lived in Madrid until I was 22 then I went and then every time that I was coming back to Spain for like a month or something I was coming to Madrid

before I go away before I came here to the UK like even when I went to Warnah I go to Madrid not to Bilbao so the only friends that I had in Bilbao was my high school friends but again I move after I finish high school

I move away and I never come back back until like 11 years later, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah. So like my growth, like, for example. So where do you feel you do belong? Yeah. In Manchester.

More than in Spain, for example, or like. But for example, if I go to Spain, I will go to Madrid because that's where I have my friends that I grew up, like, going out. Like, you know when you go into adulthood? Yeah. They are there. So I feel like they are like Jorge, all the other friends, they are there in Madrid. Now are my parents.

If I go to my city, I love my city because it's what I'm for. from, but apart from my mom and dad and my grandma, I won't go and see anybody, really. Maybe if I have, like, a high school reunion. So I don't even, that's why people ask me, will you move to live in Bilbao? No, because I don't feel that I am from Bilbao, and I love the city, but I don't feel that I have, I won't have friends in there, or I will have nothing in there. Do you mean? I get that.

I mean, I feel that's where I feel very lucky, because like you said, a high school reunion, I bump into my high school and primary schoolmates in Tesco. Yeah, I know. Literally see them all the time. But what I like about it, Jen, is that travel for kids is the best way to learn. It's the best way to learn. And, you know, Mia's half Spanish, Tio's half Spanish. So they do spend a lot of time in Spain.

But I always say, it's so cringy, but you don't have a favorite place. You have favorite people. And as long as you're with those people, home can be anywhere. So you just have to say to your little girl, we are your home. family is your home and if we're in Barcelona you know you're with your family

if we're in Manchester if we're in Liverpool so why if I ask you to move somewhere else we always say no because my family you're going to be your family yes we're going to go with you

yeah but I mean my the big if if me you the kids Nina Robb Hadley Tyler Anouska my mum Peter and Uncle Clive

all moved I would love it I would love for us to live Do you know my Colmy Kardashian lives Yeah, but that's your family. That's your family. I love that.

I mean, our family. But we moved to your moms. No, our family is you, myself, our kids. No, that's our family. This is our family. No, that's our family. Immediate family. We're an immediate family.

That's the family that we created. Yeah. You haven't created a family with your sister, with your mom, with your stepdad. You're missing the point. No, I'm not missing the point. That's your family. That's your family. You're my immediate family.

We're my immediate family. We, that's what we'd say. That's your family. So you have family and you have family. Immediate family. No, immediate family is your mother. Your sister's immediate family because it's the first one in your line or your mom and dad. That's your immediate family also.

Us, we are your family. This is the family that we made. So when someone says like, how is your family? I'm not thinking of my mom and dad. I'm thinking about you. You know, I'm thinking of everyone, you say. I'm thinking of the whole. Yeah.

But if I said to you, let's go on a family trip, I'll feel as for. You will go with the 27 people of your family. Yeah, because I think of my childhood. I think because you left, mind you, I left home early, but I literally moved. No, my mom always growing up, my mom always teaches me. One day you will have your family. Yeah. You will make your family.

We always will be here because we are your family, but you will have your family. That's different. You know what I mean? Yeah, I understand that, but we kind of grew up. Like, do you know, like, so my niece, Nushka, her other half, who's lovely, he was saying he's never been around a family that does everything together. and he says it's amazing, but in terms of like, but in terms of like,

when it was Uncle Clive's birthday, I had everyone round, obviously you were away, everyone round, Costco buffet, food everywhere, balloons just for a random 73-year-old birthday, the same as I'd do for my 42nd. So I was brought up, your family is, anyone who's still alive and breathing who's related to you. Yeah, for that you have birthday,

You have birthdays or Christmas to see everybody. And it's like I, because you didn't live there, I used to just ride my bike to my nannas. If I was bored on a Sunday, I'd just ride my bike to my nannas. Yeah, me too. When I was in Spain as a kid, I lived five minutes from my grandma. And every Saturday, my grandma and dranda, I used to come for a coffee and a biscuit to the house.

Every Saturday, every Saturday or Sunday. Yes. But when someone says to me, use your family, it's you, Mia and Tiago and Benji. and then I've got... I still remember that... Maybe it's because my dad's not here. Maybe that's my...

Maybe I still remember that time and I remember every chance that I have to go alone with the excuse of fly on my drone I was taking it. Yeah? Well, we all went away. There was about 40.

Because I was away for restriction like, oh my... I would love to go as a family to like a little cottage in the middle of nowhere for New Year's. Oh yeah, that would be amazing. Let me have a look

and then she closed me. I booked it. It's like, okay, where's like here? It's like... It's for like 15 people. Why? So it's like, Well, I invite my mom, my stepdad, my sister and the kids,

Laura and her kids. Natalie. And I'm like, oh. Vicki, we all went. Yeah, we go to 20 of us. And I'm like. It was like the home alone house, wasn't it? It was an nightmare.

Oh, I loved it. No. You see, I think what it is, I think, because obviously my dad died so suddenly and he was just gone. One minute he was here, then he was gone. Maybe subconsciously I have that fear. So I want as many memories and chaotic trips. as possible with the family.

Maybe that's what it is. But also you have a thing, I think we have a different perspective or point of view. When someone asks you about, when someone's like, who's your family, you go the whole thing.

When someone asks me, who's my family, it's you, me, are Tiago and me, that's my family. That's a family. Then I have my family side,

your family side, but then my family is that. You're different. When you're like, who's your family, you're like, my mom, my step,

dad, my sister. They are. You, the kids. They're like my ride or dies. I will go to war for my sister. Because they're your blood. They will be always there.

Yeah. That makes sense? Well, that's the thing you say, they'll be always there. They won't. No, they're always, yeah, because they will die. Like you will die and I will die. We all die at the end. Well, we just go home, don't we?

Yeah. Well, that's a different episode. But mind you, it's not because it's Earth Day. It is Earth Day. Yeah. But thank you very much, Jen. We digress massively. We went to bread.

We went to family. We went to holidays. But I think the, bottom line don't be scared about taking your daughter to live in different places yeah it's the best way for her to learn and if she speaks other languages should be welcome anyway you know where it's one other things that I appreciate the most of like I travel and I work with people from different countries it's to be more flexible and my open-minded to everything like sometimes when you just have one culture or just grow up in one country it's awful you just think that

whatever, you don't know anything else. You think yours is the best? Yes. But because I moved away and I worked, different cities in Spain, then I went to the States, people from Australia, the States, Canada, here, from, I don't know, Indonesia, from Philippines. So you try to, like, be more flexible or, like, cultural things that you shouldn't say or no, be more respectful, you know?

Yeah. It is so good for everybody to travel. Yeah. And nothing annoys me more than when I go on holiday. to somewhere like Spain, Tenerife, and there's English people giving the waiter shite because he doesn't understand their order.

Remember that time? I cannot bear it. It's like you learn in Spanish if you want them to understand. Remember that time that we were on holidays around this time east of the time and we were in the hotel, in the nice restaurant, having dinner

and it was this American family. A really rude. And the husband was so rude to the waiter because he was waiting there. Having mine, it was like high season, yeah? On the resort, everybody was packed and he was waiting and the chair of the high chair of the kid

was like the legs were very spread and he was coming with this huge straight of food and when he was walking he tipped the leg and the little good shuffle he lost it with a waiter. He went mad at this waiter he would do nothing wrong and he really really shouted at him

and I said dinner I said he needs to be told I said that I don't know why his missis didn't say to him actually shut up because you're embarrassing us now but she didn't mind you They looked wadded. I bet she was only there for his money

because he was ugly, on it? But then I said to you dinner, I said to you, say something to that waiter. And you ended up saying to him, like, something like me, don't worry about it, it's fine. Yeah, well, I'm saying, he's a effing pain.

Yeah, and he replied to you in Spanish laughing. Then the American family left, thank God. And then we had a laugh with him. And he told us the issue was there'd been Wi-Fi that had gone down on the island. So the chip and pins had stopped working on the... machines. He said that's what it was. So the orders weren't going through to the kitchen.

Yeah. And it was like a thing he had no control over. But I did think to myself, why is she not telling him to stop? And the kid was there. Such bad example for the kid. If that was me, I would throw him the paella over the face, you know? Oh, sorry, I just felt. Well, you wouldn't be like that to people because... I know. Because you were brought up better than him.

We've got a message from Chloe as well. Do you want to read Clovers? Is you clear? Not Chloe Kardashian, no? No. Chloe says Hi Gemma Rooker I'm currently sat in Plaza

Mayo de Madrid Plaza Mayor de Madrid with a lovely Estrella Estrella listening to the latest step I'm currently solo traveling in Madrid for the Formula E race

I'm believing or not, I am a 26-year-old with no husband and no kids. But the pod just makes me literally laugh aloud. Good for you. Have a lovely time and stay safe. If you listen to this podcast, Chloe, let us know where else did you. go in Madrid, what do you like about Madrid, what you didn't like.

Oh, she said, can we get a lost in translation tour? Yes, soon. As if you said yes without even asking me. Maybe happening. Do you know what? One thing that I learned the other day, it was that you have to say things before even happening. So then there is no excuse to happen.

We might be going on tour with lost in translation. You have to ask for forgiveness over permission. I learned growing up. Do it and then say I'm sorry. So we might be going on tour, yeah. Yeah, so you want tour. Anna has said, Gemma, I remember seeing you dancing on a podium in BCM. Probably did.

I danced in a cage once at BCM. What she doing this? I was going, there's a ho in this house, there's a ho in this house. That's what she always does. At home, she would, when we had a party at home or something like that, like Christmas, she always does this move. Oh, BCM. But you always do that, isn't it?

Yeah, I did get a podium once in BCM. Natalie was on the other one. Oh, gosh. Yeah, but Natalie kicked off because some lad kept trying to grab her ankles. So she would be like, I don't feel safe, get me down. Victoria?

It's very nice. It's very like Greece. It's a miss between Greece and Croatia, look. I went to Paphos and swam in the part of the ocean where Aphrodite exited. That's good for Earth Day. Genuinely, Aphrodite, the goddess. Yeah, Aphroditas. She came out of the water and I went in and lay in the water. It's not Afrodita. Probably why I'm glowing today. Afrodita is the mom of Cupid.

Digressed again. Should we do our debates this week? So this is called Lost in Translation because we do get lost regularly. I'm lost right now. Yeah, we are. And we have debates that we both share here and we just kind of air it out. And my debate, I'll just go straight in there. It's similar today, no?

You gave me so much grief. You're a thief. Five pairs of my socks in your draw. You are a thief. I count 11 pairs. I don't believe. 11 pairs of your socks were in my drawer. Yes, I believe so.

I don't. I wish I could take a picture of the mess. 11 pairs? I wish I could take a picture of the mess of your drawer where the socks were. Do you see it when the drawers shut? When the drawer shut, do you see any of the mess? No, because sometimes...

It's like the Moniker cupboard. In Friends, Monica has a cupboard full of crap. You never know it's there. But yours... Are all of them like that? Yeah, but no one sees it. I only see it when I open it to get me stuff out.

But how can you... How can you even find stuff in there? Because I know where it is. There is no... Yeah, everything is everywhere. That's why the problem. I don't know why you stress so much about the mess of my cupboard.

No, I'm not stressed. What I'm stressed is that I open my cover to get my socks and I found that I have a one single black sock, one white sock with the black logo, one single sock with a grey logo. And then I was like, oh, where are they? Let me have a look. I opened the draw and I end up,

oh, there is the part. part that is missing. Oh, and by the way, this socks is actually mine. Oh, there is the other part missing. Oh, and those two pairs is mine. Oh, and that's my Calvin claims too. There we go, I always borrow a pair when I'm like, and then I ask you, and I go like, oh, Jamad, you know, these socks are me as, oh, I didn't know. Well, I don't think you wear unicorn socks size five, you know? Oh, well, they were there in my draw. How do they get in your draw? For me, a sock drawer is a sock drawer. Regardless of whose socks they're in it, if you need a sock, you go to that draw

No, you have your own socks. You fold them specifically and you have them all laid out Yeah, so I can see them.

Sleeping with the enemy weird stuff. I have my running socks, winter socks invisible socks and then if it's white or blacks

that's weird. It's organized so I can see what I'm taking from, yeah? I know why I'm taking from I haven't got

time in my life or energy in my mind to fold and coordinate my sock drawer. To find a of socks in your draw you have to go through your bras, through your half of a pajama's,

to your grandma's sneakers. You know, it's everything there. You don't have to go in it, though. That's why I don't understand. You get stressed. But you say, I have to go to find my socks that you still. You get stressed over what my sock drawers like. No, I get stressed about...

You want to see my desk at work. Awful, for sure. I can believe it. Like your back's from when you take a walk. It's like Mary Poppins after a rave. In that bag. I know. Yeah.

There's all kinds in it. I'm sure. I'm sure you have a coffee mug. In my car door alone, I've got a coffee mug, a pair of broken sunglasses, a plastic crown, a king de Bueno just in the side door of my car. I believe so. That's what I'm saying. I stress me. I don't know why it stresses you and you have to live with it.

That doesn't stress me. What it stresses me is they used to 11 socks of me. And then when I ask, yes, because you took them to your drawing. And then when I ask you, like, I don't know how they are there. What do you mean you don't know? What would you do if when... If I'm away for three weeks, yeah? When this tour finishes, what would you do if you came back

and all your clothes were in different places? Would that really affect you? Would it like really mess you up mentally that? Yes. It's like when I came home and the pants were in their own cover or the place were in a different cover. And have you always had it? Yes, I always been organized.

My mom and dad make me to be organized. If I have a wardrobe, I have my training clothes in one, one, my normal closing one. So then when I dress, I know I need to go there. Whatever I need to get, I get it. Your cover, you have pants, tishers for training, normal t-shirts, hoodies, all in the same one. So you don't know what you're looking at. And then that's why when you go dress up and get down,

you're wearing your pants as a t-shirt, and your teacher has pants. The other day, I wore a pair of jeans. I wore a pair of jeans the day, and there was like a little bulge in them. And I thought, what the hell is that? And there was a pair of knickers in the leg of my trousers. Yes. You think it's funny.

Right, we've had our turn. It's over to you. Let's solve one of your dilemmas. Right, as you guys know, Lost in Translation is brought to you by Shell, which is perfect for us because we stop by Shell all the time. Our days get really ecic, so it's good to know that Shell is there when we need. Shell are the place to go for any journey whether you need charge, full the car or yourself need something from it. Yeah, well, this morning, I went there for breakfast. believe it or not for the two guys doing the jet wash. We've got some fellas doing a jet wash at the minute at the house. They turned up without breakfast.

And I said to them, don't worry, I'll just nips with a shell. Because you can get everything there. You've got your fruit. You can get veg. You can get sausage. Other there, remember in the morning, last minute with Mia decided she wanted to have a glass of milk. And I was going to go to the supermarket because I thought she didn't want in the morning.

So thank goodness we had the shell next to us. So I just drive it five minutes back. She was happy slurry. what is cool, she has milk, job done. I never just use our local for fuel only

because you go in there and you think, oh, I need that, oh, I need this, I can just pick it up. I'd even use it for my parcels. You know the parcel post, yeah. Oh, of course, yeah.

Yes. You send your parcels from there as well. Just go in there, put it in the box, they take it. Finish, job done. Shell has got you covered. So as always, if you do want to get in touch

with the dilemma or with anything, just with some questions, queries, comments or feedback, it's lost in translation at bowermedia. or you can WhatsApp us on O'Dable 7-7-6103-9-898.

Bear in mind, though, if you do voice note, it could be read out. Before we do this week, we've had some replies to a recent listener dilemma. So, Andge on YouTube is responding to, we had a listener whose husband would work nights and sleep most of the day. And we did say, didn't we, if you had any help or advice for her. So Ange says, I am one of 14. Woof. My dad went to work.

at 5pm and came home at 3am. He did the washing and the cooking. On Sundays he made three dozen buns, chocolate fruit and coconut, also three large cakes to last the week. Oh, wow. Angela's dad is like a hero. That's like my granddad Norman.

That's like you, though, to be honest. It's peaks and troughs with us in terms of when we're both together, like at the minute you're on the road, I'm still doing the radio. But there was a time when you were at home with the kids and I was doing the radio. Yeah.

And I genuinely said, without Gorka being at home, I'd come home, the kids were bathed, they were in the PJs, tea was ready. It's like a proper good tag team. And Angela's dad sounded like that. The fact that he did all of that whilst working five to three. Oh, and what a guy your fellow, your dad was. High five. High five. He sounded brilliant.

Mandy also says she's responding to the listener whose husband would work nights as well. For the guy on the back shift, he should take a. pack lunch to work and eat it on the way home from work or prior to leaving. That way you can come home, debrief for half an hour and be in bed for one. He could easily get up at nine. Many parents survive on six hours of sleep a night. He really needs to be helping her out more. They need to have a conversation and figure out things he can help with instead of expecting him to just do it.

I feel for most men, you need to physically tell them what you need them to do. That is true. Yeah, some of men, they have to be like with a coming board, like, here is there with this, here is the there. Laura sent me a meme the other day and it was a guy just covered in medals, head to toe in medals. And it said me, if I had a medal for every time my fella said, I didn't know you wanted me to do that. She said when he 100% did know. But yeah, that's true. They're a bit more simple in terms of can you do this for me?

Yes. Okay, I'll do it. Whereas if you just leave something out hinting for them to do it, they might not. Yeah. Should you know what I mean? But this week's actual dialogue, I thank you, by the way, for. getting in touch and helping the listener with the fellow. Thank you to Sue from this week's dilemma who's saying,

I need your advice on a problem I'm having with me next door neighbours. There are a couple in the 30s who moved in last year. They're pleasant enough to have a small talk with, but they're totally different to the old retired couple who lived there before. My new neighbours are both petrol heads who both ride motorbikes, and this is the major problem. The air stinks of petrol and oil. They rev the bikes a lot in the back garden and will frequently have parties,

when other petrol heads turn up outside the front door with five or six bikes lined up. How would you deal with this? Am I in my rights to be upset or should I just learn to live with it? Love the podcast, you're both great Sue. I don't understand why the air smells of oil. It's just petrol. The thing is with this Sue,

my brother-in-law and nephews... They love bikes. Ride bikes. They have KTMs and dirt bikes, and there was one point when my sister rung me, fuming because she'd come off. and there was two KTM bikes in the kitchen on newspaper on the floor and Robert said you didn't want to put him outside the house because of the neighbours and Nina was like bollocks to the neighbours this is our drive I'm not having KTMs in the kitchen yeah it's tough sue if you're used to a lovely retired neighbours but also you can't tell people in the 30s who have got a great habit of you know getting outdoors riding bikes to then curb it hey You know, it could be worse.

It could be smelling a weed and stuff. Then I'd be like, absolutely not getting told. You could just say, in terms of the revving, is it possible you could do it at a more reasonable hour? I'm sure they don't do it at like 12 in the night. No. It will be during the day. But that's like me when I'm in the gym and I have my in summer.

Like yesterday, I was running and I had the music loud to keep running and the door of the gym open. The houses are next to it. They will hear my Spanish music record. it's on playing, you know I mean? I'll be like, I'm sorry, mate. I'm in the gym and it's 11. I'm not going to put the music down.

I get the smell of petrol fumes gives you a headache. And if like they're revving in the garden, sues in her garden and say it's blowing over the fence. Yeah, but how long they're going to be reving for? They're going to be like four hours. No. But I'm funny with things like, like if I have to empty our bottle bin,

I always wait till after half eight because I never want the turn. I hate the noise of glass bottles. I never want it to wait the neighbours. Even though you say it's 8 o'clock, you can start doing stuff. It could be worse, you know. It could be like they were like driving the bags over your flowers, pots on the garden and blocking the pedestrian water to live out of your street.

You know, that could be worse. Yeah. But I mean, I wouldn't mind petrol heads, I don't think. I love how she's got my petrol head as well because it's what my mum would say. We've got really petrol heads next door. Revin, it's all hours. That's what my mum would say. But it is a great, if you.

You can get anyone into dirt bikes and KTMs. It's a lovely thing to do. You're outside, it's exercise, and you're not hurting anybody. Do you know what I mean? Apart from yourself, if you fell from one. Yeah, if you fell off one. Are you telling me you're going to get a quad bike for Tiago? No, because I've seen Adley and Tyler fall off too many times.

Good. I've been on a KTM and they are, like, I was on a little 450cc. It wasn't a massive thing, and I still felt a little bit, whoa, this is. And Peter, my stepdad, rode back. bikes all his life and he was with my mum. They'd been married maybe two years and he suddenly stopped. Like a chopper, like a road bike. Well, he stopped riding and I said, why?

And he said, your mum don't like me doing it. Yeah. And I said, mum, I said, have you genuinely stopped him? It's very dangerous. Riding a bike. And I said, that's his, that's his passion. It's his hobby. She said, Gemma, it is not safe for him.

She said, he's getting older now and I don't like him being on it. It's not for example. Me, I love cycling. But I'm used to like in Spain, the roads to cycle around where I'm from. or any other places, like, they are, like, very, like, cycling places. They are so good. Like, here, on a bike or on a motorbike,

it's so dangerous because there's so many potholes in the same road. You can, like, avoid one pothole and you go to the other side, and there's the other one there. And we all know how we feel about potholes. Yes. Anyway. What are we saying for Sue then? Sue, maybe just join them.

Get a bike yourself and join them. I was going to say, the thing that, if they have a lot of parties, that would be annoying a lot. lot of parties. Yeah, but always a lot of parties. It's a barbecue party. Do you mean?

It's inside the house. So then I don't think the weather up to now it's been lovely to have outside parties. So they probably will be in the house. Is it the house too close to the other one? It's just annoying for Sue. Because I'm trying to imagine like where we live, we're very lucky.

We don't have anyone behind us. It's just fields. We have got neighbours to the front, but we don't really see him. I'm trying to think if he had motorbikes, you'd be, you'd be, you'd be, going, fuck's sake. The bike, I know you would.

Depends on the time. It's a knock-on effect, Sue. So I'm kind of with you, but also I am with the dirt bike guy as well. But thank you for getting in touch, Sue. Really, really appreciate it. Should we now go and play a game? Because this one is a fun one. Okay, let's do it.

Well, this game today is called You Ablo Español. You Ablo Español? Well, according to this is Spaniel. Does that mean do you speak Spanish? Yes. But it's not the best spelling. Oh, it's because. Because tomorrow, the 23rd, it's Earth Day to Day,

but tomorrow is actually World Spanish Language Day, Gorka. Hi-five. So we're going to hear five phrases read out in Spanish, and we have to decide whether the person reading them is actually Spanish or if it's a Brit speaking Spanish. Well, you don't know. You might not know. People who hear you speak in Spanish think you're English now.

people in Spain think you're English with a Spanish accent you're Spanish true it's probably easier for you but still not you know you might not get it right so I'll answer first and then you can give me yours because his mates do you say he sounds English now speaking Spanish so producer Henry has the clips would you like to play them Henry

Escuchamos and not chuskamos. Spanish, I think. Because they didn't pronounce the J. I'm going to read this one, yeah? Two ways, yeah? And then he can play it and do you say. I need to shut my eyes on my ears are more active. I'm going to read it, yeah.

Yeah. And then a clip. Please, Henry. Escuchamos and no chugamos. He no huskamos. You know what that means? We listen and we don't judge. Yeah.
