The Overshare with Gemma Atkinson - The Valentines Day Argument We Didn't Expect | Lost In Translation

Episode Date: February 11, 2026

Valentine’s Day rolls around and suddenly everything’s up for debate.Eating in or going out? Cards and flowers or absolutely none of it? And who is Valentine’s Day actually for anyway?In this anniversary-adjacent episode, Gemma and Gorka accidentally fall into a full-scale Valentine’s debate: should you eat in or go out, is the whole thing a massive marketing scam, and who is Valentine’s Day actually for anyway? (Spoiler: not them.) There’s talk of staying in, shutting the blinds, doing “nothing” (👀), and why romance looks very different when you’d rather be on the sofa than surrounded by other couples pretending to enjoy themselves.Follow us on social:www.instagram.com/lost.in.podcastwww.tiktok.com/@lost.in.podcast#LostInTranslation #GemmaAtkinson #GorkaMarquez

Well, I'm here. I'm waiting for Gorker. I can see these little love hearts. It's our anniversary today. Eight years. How lucky is here to have eight years of me. Let's have a look at this. Oh, Gemma, wait here. I have a romantic surprise for you, Gorks. What is this surprise now? Genuinely, nervous. Oh, surprise! Are you John Rambo? I actually like it. Happy anniversary. Happy Valentine's. You ready for my gun? Happy Valentine's.

Look at you. It's like John Rambo's drunk. Take a pew. Pew, pew. Do you get it? Yes. Welcome to Lostin Translation. Vamos!

Spirmedine, even. Spirmedine. That's my answer. Thank you very much. Let's move off until the next point. Yeah, he was pretending to wipe semen on my face in the form of sun cream, and that's the pat shot. I've had grief for not buying a birthday present,

and then I realized I have got him a present. You want to go to war, we're going to war. Hiya, guys. Just two quick things before we get into today's episode of Lost in Translation.

If you celebrate, if you celebrate valentines, you'll be looking forward to that.

Today, though, it's officially our eight-year anniversary. Is it? High-five me for that. Eight years. This is the longest I've been with someone. Me too. I mean, this is the longest I've been with someone a long time ago ago. Yeah, I'm normal.

out after three years. You know, there's a curve of three years, they said, normally. Yeah, normally. Yeah. And the seven-year itch we've got past that, aren't we? Is it? Yeah. I didn't know that. They say three years or seven years. Which one is the next one? Probably when I go through menopause.

You know, a lot, no. That's now. Are you insane? I'm only 41. Perimenopause now, probably. But, you know, genuinely, a lot of women get divorced during the perimenopause and menopause era. Because a lot of them have got teenage kids, You've got parents who are elderly and need extra care.

And they literally get to a point where they just think, no, it's not that they can't cope. It's that they have the balls to say, I'm not putting up with this shit anymore. I'm out. Normally in like your 20s, 30s, you stick around because you're like, maybe it's supposed to be like this. But there's like a switch in the menopause

where you're like, I'm out of this bullshit. Are you trying to tell him something? No, I'm not there, but I'm just saying. You're pre menopause. So I do you think I am very menopause? Yes. Yeah. I think I am as well.

I mean, I don't know, because you've been always like this, so probably not. Maybe not. I'm just probably aggressive. This is the judgment-free zone for Lost in Translation. We clear things up.

And to be honest, we don't really celebrate Valentine's. No, we've never done Valentine's really, have we? With it, well, maybe the old flowers or cars and whatever. I don't really like Valentine's. I think it should be every day Valentine's. It's a bit false for me, Valentine's. I'm not into the whole going out on Valentine's Day and you're just surrounded by couples

who you know of, they'd rather be somewhere else. I just feel like Valentine's, it's a marketing thing to make money. Yeah, of course it is. I don't even know the story of sent Valentine, do you? Me neither. But I believe that you should do celebrate Valentine's any day.

If you love someone, you should do it every day, not just in a specific day. Do you mean? Is what you do with me? Well, celebrate me every day. Yeah, I believe so. I think it's nice to like, Even growing up, I remember my dad used to bring flowers to my mom any day,

not just on Valentine's Day. That's nice. You know what I mean? Because you don't have to wait for Valentine's Day to show love to someone, you know what? In fact, the video we did of Mia, we posted it on our socials, of Mia asking Mia how she described us to the police. And one of the things she said was, my daddy loves my mummy. The amount of messages I've had from people saying what a lovely quality that is,

because they say, don't they, the best lesson of father can give his daughter, is to show her how to treat the mum because you're setting her standards of what she'll expect in a partner. Like if she sees you being horrible to me, she'll think that's what life is. I mean, don't get me wrong. Sometimes I sometimes I want to like kick you in the bud,

keep me in the back. In the butt. Oh, the butt. I thought you said the back. I was going to say that's like specific. No, like you do you know what I mean? Sometimes she makes my head in. Oh, yeah.

I still love you. I want to chop you in the neck. That's what I'm saying, you know what I mean. But we still just get on with it. Yeah. But it is our anniversary as well. And again, we don't really celebrate. Well, we're going out for dinner on Saturday, actually, aren't we?

I tell a lie, we're child-free. The kids are going to my nieces. And we are going to go for dinner. We probably end up doing nothing at home. I was going to say, we said dinner, but then we've changed our plans, aren't we? We're bringing the cinema to us. Yeah, I mean, we were going to go to the cinema, but we look, there is nothing in the cinema anyway. No.

So we said, we just don't make the cinema at home. Probably will be better. Gawker said, we set the blinds, do way on the couch, I make us not. nice meal. And we're going to watch the... I didn't say make a nice meal. You did. I cook.

Do I need to cook now? Well, that or a takeaway, I'd rather you cook. It's healthy. I know what's in it. Yeah, true. So, basically, it's me in the kitchen then. No, it's not. You can wear an apron and nothing else.

How about that? Yeah, we don't do... You know what? I like to do things, but I think I don't do things anymore since one day. I book a surprise for us. Oh, this thing over and over. Well, I'm still waiting for my... gift for my birthday, you know?

I've got a quorum about that. What? I've got a quam about that. What that means? I don't even know what the word quam means. Quam, maybe. I've realized I got you a present and that's my... No, it's not a present.

It's not a debate. But your debate is going to be... That's an excuse you're making it up. It's not going to be. No? I tell you it's not going to be. You're my present? Absolutely not.

So you want more than that? No, no. I know that's not going to be my present because that's going to go back to you. Why? Because it's been collected for you, as we said. So it's not my present. No.

So it's not your present. Sorry. Don't find an excuse now to justify that you got me a present. Don't try and be serious with me dressed as John Rambo. I'm not being serious. Listen, if you want to go to war, we go to war. This is why it's called Lost in Translation, because we do occasionally. Yes.

Anyway, let me carry on. Explain me my point. So we used to maybe try to things for Valentine. yeah and one of our valentines yeah i got you a surprise and the surprise is because it was after we had me yeah and for a year we didn't do much because we didn't go anywhere and i parenting yes plus it was covid yes couldn't really go anywhere so why can be doing this i know you're flipping your hair yeah i feel like johannis um i got you a gift and the gift it was all planned it was planned with your mom it was all organized yeah we were going to go and

go for a long weekend to Iceland. Which would have been amazing. Yes, because you wanted to go and see the Northern Lights. I wanted to see the Northern Lights. So it was all booked to go to Iceland. We're going to go into these like thermal pools and everything. It was all amazing. I even bought us winter coats to go to the snow and everything.

Basically, I sort everything now. The only thing she had to do was turn up. Yes, and fly. Yeah? A week before, she cancelled it. I didn't... Because you got... No.

Yes, you cancel it because you got a job where you were getting a good money for it. Incredible money. Yes. And you did it. Silly money to turn down.

Her answer was, I'm going to do the job because it's a great money so I'd rather get the money instead than go there. And I was like, okay, fun. She got the money,

she didn't go there, I didn't go there, and I lost the money. So the money that I spent for the whole four days flights, hotel and everything it was not reimbursable if you cancelled it so I lost everything

but she made the money for her for me for us it's to run our home it's not it's not your money my money when I go to work I earn for us and vice versa yes but you still I lost the money

if I had turned down the amount of money I turned down was Iceland four or five times over so we would have been kicking ourselves after and I said let's go to Iceland on a different date. And we haven't done. I've not going to book it.

I know. And he said from then on he said, I've never booked anything. Being the stubborn Spaniard, he's, I am never booking anything for us again. I booked us somewhere for Easter. Because also,

that was the first one. And then I gave you a second chance. A second chance for a holiday. Yes, for another surprise. And I plan another surprise because I was supposed to be here. Yeah? I was in London on a street.

Remember that one? Wow. Well, I book another surprise for you. And I book us a nice overnight stay with dinner and a restaurant and a hotel for us. And we had already Mia. Tiago was not here yet. And I remember, I think ahead. And I thought, knowing her, she might say, no, I want Mia be with us.

So I already make sure that in the booking I speak to the hotel and everything, and we could have Mia with us. So it was all arranged to have Mia if she wanted or Mia if she didn't want to come. I remember this. Mia with her parents because she was already sorted, yeah? Book balloons, surprising the bedroom and everything in the hotel room. Where was this? Was it in your birthday also.

And I was coming from London and I was surprising you for your birthday. My birthday's always on strictly. Yes, so that's why. I was on strictly, but it was on the week. So I was managing to come back to pick you out from the radio, take you out for dinner. Did you have a rubbish partner that year? Is that why you were out? No.

It was the year with Helen. I don't remember. Yeah, don't worry. remember. Well, I had baby brain that year. And she was, you know what he said to me? I'd rather wake up in my own bed on my birthday. With you? Yeah, but you were doing the same. It was a surprise. So what happened? She cancelled it. I lost everything. It's because I'm not, you should be grateful that I'm not one of them partners who demands all these flash, expensive, exciting things. It's no, it's, it's not, it's not. I'm happy to just be, as long as I'm with you and the kids.

That's why I don't do anything anymore. I don't have a favorite place. I have favorite people. That's why I don't do anything anymore. My favorite people is where my home is. I don't have to be anywhere as long as we're all together. Yeah, so we were going to be all together in a different place. Apart from waking up in the same bed that you do every day. So that's the special thing. Having to make our own bed, make our own breakfast. No, it's not that.

It was just the thing of going somewhere else. Anyway, since then, I don't do anything else. No. I would never do anything else. If you want it, you do it yourself. I've booked us somewhere for Easter, haven't I? Yeah. We've got a little lodge with our own little boat and a hot tub and it's us and the kids

and it's going to be Benji's first holiday. Yeah. That's what she takes excited about Benj's First holiday. Should we explain why this is called Lost in Translation? I think it's clear. Yeah, it's pretty obvious, isn't it, why it's called Lost in Translation. So every week we have a debate which is something that's happened in the week that myself and Gawker of clocked, we tell the producers and we air it here.

So my debate this week is something that I'd forgotten I'd done for you as part of your birthday gift. And obviously since we've started this series, I've had grief for not buying you a birthday present. And then I realised I have got him a present. But I only realised because the present I've got you is like all over the media now, thrusted in my face every time I open Instagram. So Bad Bunny.

Yeah. I've got you a box for Bad Bunny at Wembley for you and all your mates. Well, I hope he's knowing Wembley because it's not there the concert. Where is it at? The Tottenham Stadium. The Tottenham Stadium. Yeah. I got that for you last June.

Remember you said you wanted to go, you tried to get tickets. I said, leave it with me. And I made a phone call in the garden. You were on FaceTime to Hohe going, blah, blah, maybe she's got them. But that's not my gift. Yeah, but it's for you and all your mates. It's a box at Tottenham to go much bad bunny for 12 of you. And I said, have that as part of your birthday gift.

No, you didn't. I'd forgotten all about it. You didn't. I did, genuinely. You didn't. I said, because it was like June or July when I booked it. I said, well, there's your birthday. and then now, and I've forgotten all about it, genuinely,

now he's back in the press, in a very big way, if you've seen his videos. I thought, oh yeah, that's what I got in for his birthday. That's more expensive than a coffee machine. Yeah, but you're getting the money of all the tickets because everybody's paying you the tickets. They don't have to pay me the tickets. Yes, it's your birthday present. I already asked him all of them. Well, in that case, they can pay me the tickets.

There we go, so that's why I'm in. Oh, but it's for your birthday. Oh, okay, great. But they are all paying tickets Well they don't need to You can tell them it's Power of your birth to price Oh you just get the money for you

No I don't want And with that spare money we'll book somewhere else Two presents We'll buy a coffee machine Yeah but how is that my Get the money off them We'll buy a coffee machine So how is that my gift then

Because you've got a coffee machine Tickets to Bad Bunny winning And you've not spent a penny How about that But just make sure none of them Listen to this podcast I think he's like Being sneaky here

You're tricking me now No I'm not tricking you No I'd forget and all about it until the Grammys. No, it's tricking me. And it's tricking me because everybody's paying the amount of the ticket to go there and they're all paying it and then I pay you the rest.

So no, it's just tricky. You're not paying with anything and their tickets can go on a posh coffee machine. No, I don't want that's my gift. Okay, so we'll just keep the money. No, I send it to you. I don't want to. That's different. Don't mix.

I want my gift. That's a different thing. Okay. Well, that's my debate for the week. What's yours? The washing. Again. Yes.

You just drink two t-shirts I put his washing in this morning By accident I put all the dachshy There's not even this one That's the third one You see it's a different one I need to get washing detergent

On the way over I haven't got any Just don't do it Just you know When you see the washing I'm gonna put like a sensor Every time you touch it Gives you like an electric shot

This morning at 10 to 7 I was stood ironing I did piles of ironing I did mine in the kids I didn't touch any of yours There was loads of yours And I thought I don't iron on my clothes

I steamed them So I didn't Because you will burn it Or something or leave shadows, shinies in the clothes. Yeah. He does steam his clothes. He has a steamer.

Yes, because sometimes when you iron it, if it's too hot in the material, you can burn and leave shiny, especially, for example, in jeans and things like that. So I steamed them. And most of them, I let them dry and then... You hang them a specific way. Even before I hang them, I shake them and everything, so they don't have to be ironing. I was going to London the other day and I took your steamer dinner. Yes.

And I said to him, and broke the box. I didn't break the box. I didn't take the box. You take the box? I didn't take the box at all. Okay. Because it was broke. Okay.

I said, um, go, because have you got a steamer? Knowing damn well he had one. And he said, yeah, take it. So I went to it. I didn't take the box because it was broke. Such a good little thing, that. I know. Fantastic.

You know who told me that? Who? Ryan. Ryan the stylist. Yes. We need to get him on this podcast for a net. Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Dole, Dole.

Yeah, it was really, really good. And I put it back in the box. It takes less space in a bit of shoes. and it's so handy for everything because you just whenever you go you just like steam it before you wear it's so handy.

Well I was ironing this morning or last off that's what happens when you travel a lot but yes coming back to the washing yeah so she said I did the washing I didn't make sure I didn't put your clothes

I said okay it's fine she did put my clothes it wasn't the washing it was more the dryer she was like I finish the washing I'm gonna put this stuff on the dryer but I make sure that yours is out

it's like okay fine so she put the dryer as always she puts the dryer and then she leaves it there for 24 hours, 72 days, whatever. So I checked and I have to fold the clothes. Unfortunately, for her butt, I fold the clothes and I realized she put two my, one of the first things she did. By accident. The first thing she did by accident.

It was black clothes and it was this pet of running tides like blue, like cobal blue in the dryer. What blue? Covald blue. Coval. Coval. like the jumper there in the picture. Make sense? So that's the blue, and you put those ones in the dryer.

And they're supposed to not go, because then the sticker, it will come off. That's what it happened. And the other day, second time, you put two t-shirts and a hoodie with the grey flag. Oh, I missed them. I was like, how can you miss them? And they are as ring. So they will they fit me then now instead of you? No, and it's not only that, you will ruin them.

Because those clothing, that cannot go in the dryer. If you look at the tag, it says, not drying, 30 degrees. So how many times have you moaned about the drying now with me, three? Many. I think three out of the dilemmas. Imagine in eight years. He comes to my, like, he comes to the kitchen with his jumper, and then they end up being fitted on me as barbies that small.

Oh, well, as always, it's over to you guys. Who do you agree with in the... In this week's dilemma, you're winning, by the way, five, three in the dilemmas. I know. Someone says to, I read a company that it made me laugh. What was it? Someone being snide on me? Yes.

It wasn't something that wanted to be like, oh, bless Goka. It's right difficult to live with Gemma. Oh, my gosh. Or something like that. If only they could live with you for a week and then they'd see how difficult. I'm not difficult. You have your moments. I'm just like, if this needs to go there,

Has to be there. Let's just agree to disagree. No, we can have Sandra. But Sandra will say I'm so laid back, I'm horizontal. Too much. Look how far off coming life being horizontal. If you're too highly strung, you won't get stuff done. You have to just sometimes accept what will be, will be, and it's fine.

You accept it? It's fine if there's a cushion at the wrong angle on the chair. I accept it, but then I go behind you and fix it. That's what I mean, but does it not get tiring, having to have that level of perfection all the time. Do you think it's part of being a dancer? No, it's not perfection. I think because I'm a Virgo.

Maybe. Yeah. But it's not perfection. Like, if this pillow is there or there, it doesn't bother me, eh? What it bothers me is you said, oh, everything is tidy. It's like, no, it's not tidy

because if this is supposed to be here, for you there, it's fine. It's like, I've noticed your, you like making our bed. Yes. Because you chop the cushions. No, it's not even that. But you do chop the cushions.

I will make it. show the next time I recorded a video so I have a proof. Everything that I moan, I have a proof and I know I'm right. Gawker makes a bit like military style. Tucks it all in underneath. I don't talk to him. Yes, you do.

But it's annoying at night when you get in and you think, oh, I just want to lift my legs up when the duvets under it. No, what is annoying is like, for example, you say, I made the bed. And when you go and see the bed, the bed is not being made. It's all creased. It's all not folded properly. The pillows are one like this, the other one like that.

That's not made the bed. That's how a five-year-old made a bed. No, that's not true. That is not true. If you walk to a hotel room, yeah, and you have to the bed like that. That's what I'm saying. You make a bed to precision. No.

You iron it with the back, with the side of your hand. Yes. You do all that in the morning with it. Straight the bed. With your hand, I ain't got time for that. But then you don't make the bed properly. I make the bed. You just flash the duvet over.

That's not right. I flush the duvet. I put the cushions neat. You put them neat and then karate chop them. no how it should be yeah it takes you two seconds okay so you tell you've got six so I got to go

so you're telling me this is a in the morning you can't give me the right you're gonna agree with me so next Monday you film it in the house yeah they can be making the bed

yeah yes you're gonna film in the bedroom will you film in the bedroom the way you made the bedroom or the way that I made the bedroom the way Vicky makes the bedroom why because you know people will see the bedroom

and they will oh my gosh what is that that's my answer thank you very much Let's move on into the next point. Thank you. We need to ask first of all who they agree with. Have you got your wig in your mouth?

Should we solve one of your dilemmas? Yes, we cannot solve ours, though? No, we can't solve our own.

Oh, but there is something before, no? We've had a message, a lovely message for you, Gorks, on WhatsApp. Yes. They've said, we're loving Gorker's recipes, can he tell us more? I did the croissant and the digestive over Christmas. They were delicious. Oh, look, she sent a picture of the croissant and digestives.

You can find the pictures, by the way. If you go to our YouTube channel, you'll find the pictures there. She's saying, is there any new recipes for people? So the digestive are great. The croissant, I mean, that works. But I'm going to give you another one with the type of croissant that you use. I'll give you a different one. It's actually even better.

Because normally you will use the croissons. you get a like on a bakery. Those ones are the ones like the one me likes from, you know, like the supermarket crescents. Yeah, yeah, like the, you know where I mean. The frozen one. No, no frozen ones. They're in a pack. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's a bit more like a, like it's fengy. Yeah. So these ones, instead of doing it on the pan, because it will get quite crispy and dry quickly, make this. Slice them the same way, and before you toast, then just put butter. Then when the battery is in it, put it back together and put them on the microwave for 10 seconds. To the butter melt. And the croissant gets softer and sogier And then you can dip it on the milk

That it's like next level also You cooked for me Well not for me you made some protein balls The other day They were delicious I mean it's not like protein balls Because they have no I don't think they are much protein

In them It was roasted peanuts Peanut butter Dark chocolate Coconut Nibs whatever they're called And sea salt Coconut flakes

And sea salt We need to do a little cookbook for you I think A Lost in Translation Cookbook for Gorker. I have pictures. I can send them

if you want to post them. He genuinely he cooks anything. I'll come on from work and he'll casually say I've made this today you did flap jacks

the other week which would like the browny ones. It's the same thing than the protein balls but a different shape. They were gorgeous. Really, really nice. With the same recipe

you can do a, I don't know why I'm looking at them you can do the flapjack which I want to trade or do in a ball shape and then the balls

to dip each one of them. In 100% dark chocolate So it's very healthy as well Because we've been How long have we been doing it now? Me four weeks It's going to be on Friday You four weeks, me three weeks

We've just casually said We'll just stop We didn't even tell each other We just stopped having No, you've been saying it I didn't say anything Yeah, I've been telling you She's been saying about you start a week before her

No sugar Other than, obviously we've had fruit And sugar I would say not refine No refined sugar Because we normally love Pick and Mix Biscuits

But we've been really on it. Yeah. Like I have a croissant. Azuntai. Pardon me. What did you say in Spanish for, bless you? Salud.

Salus. Jesus. I thought that was cheers. You can say Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Yeah, I don't know why.

Oh. Jesus. Jesus. I love you, Jesus. That's like, what is the... Do you see the Grammys? Now, sorry, I need to say this. I'm going for more than the Grammys.

Is it the... Roll... How is he called? called a big roll the singer. Big roll. Jelly roll. Jelly roll, yeah. He won a award, yeah.

He was opening an award, yeah? He was opening an accident for Post Malone. Is he a rapper? Kind of like, a bit like postmalone vibes, yeah? Okay. And he went and he was like, I love you Jesus. When he went to get him, thank you Jesus, I love you Jesus. They always thank Jesus, don't they?

What's like Ricky Javee said? Get your award, thank you, God and fuck off. That's what you said they should do. Because that's all they do. Carrie's got in touch as well this week for a dilemma. Thank you for listening, Carrie. Is it Carrie or Kerry? Carrie.

As in Carrie Bradshaw. We watched a bit of sex in the city last night, didn't we? Do you watch it? No, no. I said to Gork, well, I was watching the Sex and the City. Have you watched this movie? The first movie. And what did you say?

He went, yes, I love rom-coms. You know that. That's genuinely what he said about sex in the city. It's true. My favourite movie is a whole book. Carrie's said, Hi, Gawker. Hi Gemma.

I loved the pod, which was recommended to me a few months ago, as my partner of 21 years, Rafa is from Barcelona. We were going to call Tiago Rafa, weren't we? Yeah, Rafa from Barcelona. He was going to get, his name was going to be Raphael. Vamos Rafa! And then we said it'll be Rafa, Raffa Marquez, but then we were panicking if he couldn't pronounce his ars.

It'd be a bit wafer. But I love that name. So Raffa's from Barcelona. We were both living in Barcelona when our daughter, Lola, was born. How? Lola. No, Lola. Lola. Lola.

She was a joke girl. They moved back to the UK in 2013 and then our son Mark was born in England. Mark, Marco. A year later. We are a bilingual household so there's often lots of pronounced words between us all

in both Spanish and English. Rafa also speaks Catalan. But I've reached my limits with Spanish. Anyway, our daughter Lola loves making a smore over a homemade fire in the garden with her friends and there's one item she uses to get the flames that her dad raffer still calls fire starters no matter how many times I say they are called fire lighters

she said to keep the piece I've declared that from now on we call them Keith as in the prodigy you don't know that's funny so basically there's a band called the prodigy you'll know them and it was a fire starter Keith Lemon Oh, twisted fire sartre. Do you know how like when I go psychosomatic about illnesses and stuff, it's from that song, psychosomatic and a insane. I'm going to have to show him some of the video.

I won't get it. I don't think you'll like it. I'm with rougher. I think it'll frighten you. She said she loves hearing us both, but that's basically a firelighter. The thing is, though, Carrie, I just call them matches. What would you call them? What you like a barbecue with?

But it's not a match. It's the thing that you put. You turn a match on and then you match, you turn that on. And then that goes in the wood, isn't it? That's like a firelight. What would you call it? I get why he calls them fire starters because it's what it starts the fire. Right.

Because you put them, like if you have the wood, no? You put them down near the wood. And then with the match or with the lighter, you burn that and that makes the flame to start to burn in the wood, no? A fire lighter, fire starter. In Spain, I don't know. We never use that. We use paper. You can use paper, paper, page?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you burn that or like a grass, dry grass, and that was the fire starter. So with the words that get mispronounced, do you think it's just best to let him go? As long as you know what I mean and I know what you mean, so in Carrie and Raffer's case, would you just say to a... We do it all the time. Just let it go. Yeah, get your fire starters, yeah. It's cute, I think.

Gawker says... Also, Carrie, Carrie? Carrie. Carrie, remember, he speaks three languages. You only speak one and a half. There you go. So. You used to say, you still do.

If like there's some drama going on, I'll say, have you heard about this? He goes, no, because there's nothing to be with me. Yeah, and I know. To be with me. Yeah, and I know it means it's nothing to do with me. So I just go on, that's true. Oh, to do with me?

Yeah. The other day was another war. And I said, do you remember this war? Because I say different. Remember, we saw, I don't know what we... Oh, yeah, you go, tunnel, yeah. Tunnel? I said, how do you call this?

You say, like, tunnel. I said, like, what would you say, like, where we go to have a wee or a Poo? What's it called? Toilet. Toilet. So I'd say the loo. Yeah, but I say sometimes, let's go to the loo, but I know it's a toilet.

It's the same thing. Yeah. That's not a problem. For me, the funny thing is when I pronounce something different. Wet piss through. Yeah. I'm wet piss through. And peace wet through now.

Yeah, piss wet through now. You've got it. But thank you for getting in touch, Carrie. That's, I'm impressed by Rafa and all these languages. So Spanish is different to Catalan, obviously. A lot different. Another language, yeah. Because people ask me, do you,

speak Basque or do you speak Spanish? Is it the same thing? No, it's a different language. Basque is one of the most, the oldest languages exist in Europe. They don't even know where it comes from. I cannot speak. Do your mum my dad speak Basque? Does your grandma speak Basque? No, they are no Basques. In the country Basque, Basque people will say that I'm no true Basque because none of my parents are Basques, no my grandparents are Basque. My grandparents are from the south of Spain. Do you remember when we went to, in our old house, my old doctors, my GP, he was Spanish, he was Catalan. And we went and he asked you, you're Catalonian, didn't he?

And you said no and he changed his vibe instantly towards you. He was like, okay. And when we come out, I said, what's that about? And you explained there was a change going on at that time. We were going back a few years now. But he was chatting away to Gorker in Spanish. when he found out he wasn't Catalonian. Catalonia is, I think, also, they want...

Like, for example, in where I'm from and in Catalonia, they have their own language, yeah? So they want independence? No, yes, but apart from that, but you see how different it is. Yeah. Where I'm from, if you go to a shop

and you speak in Spanish, they will speak to you in Spanish, yeah? Or Australialy, they will say hello in Spanish. Yeah. If they say hello in the Basque language, yeah, and you answer them in Spanish, they will talk to you in Spanish. In Catalonia, in many places,

no, not everywhere, yeah, but in many places, and in many shops or coffee shops, and I'm not saying everybody, but a lot of people, you go, and they will say to you, hello in Catalan, and if you answer them in Catalan,

they speak to you Catalan. But even if you go, hello in English, and they speak to you hello in Catalan or in Spanish, they will still speaking to you in Catalan, even if they know that you don't understand. So they were like,

speak, how I speak, or don't speak, or don't speak to me at all. Yeah. Okay. That's why he did what he did then. Probably, yeah. I was thinking,

is he still going to give me my medication? Because he's like hating on you. But if you have a dilemma for us, please do you get in touch. Lost in Translation at bowermedia. com. Or on our socials at lost. Dot in dot,

podcast. The phone number is you, is your wig itching? I think the bandana is so tight because I was scared to lose my wig. I think it must be a strictly thing, you know? I'm going to do the phone number again.

I'm going to try it in Spanish for you. 07-7-7-6-1-0. 3-9-8-8. Is that good? Yes. Let's play a game. Let's play a game of Mr. and Mrs. Now, it's a little bit different,

because again, we didn't know we were doing this, but it says both write their answers on a card and reveal at the same time to see if we get the same answer. So question one, where are we? when was our first kiss. I remember. Oh, wait, there was a, there was, I know what you're going to put,

but there was a cheeky one before that. Whatever you write, this is the raw first one. What if you wrote? I have the picture. The picture in the back of the taxi? Yeah, that's what I've wrote, but where we were coming from? We were coming from a party

at Ali Ash and Jeanette's flat. No, no, no. And we didn't snog, but we had a little kiss on the couch in the flat. No, no, no, no. And then we got the cab. No, no, no. The car was first.

you get in your mist up. Okay, well I wrote Ali Ash and Jeanette's flat forward slash back of cab. That's why I have memory. Car, Strelichaelic. We were on Strickley

we were going to Janet and Alias and we were on our way there. And we were going to go in different cars but they were like, no, no, you two go together. We went together in the car and the other three were in the other car and you were in the back of the car

and I have the picture actually in my phone still. I have the picture still. We're like this. Yeah, I was like... Oh. One. Question two. What is Gorker's coffee order?

I mean, it was very different. I have two, but the general one. One is for summer, one is for winter. I was going to say. But it's very simple. Ice Americano or Americano slash in the winter. Well done. What is Jemma's pizza order?

Simple. Ready? It's one, but then I homestine modified it. Yeah? Margarita with mushrooms, oh yeah? Margarita, correct? Yeah. Well done.

Like my mushrooms, get my spermicide in. Spirmedine, even. Spirmedine, not spermicide. What was Gorka's first job? Oh, I only know you as a dancer. We've never discussed your first job, have we? What do you say? What did you say, you know?

You were a dance instructor. You used to teach dance. There you go. Is that correct? That's the only job I had. Yeah, he was a dance teacher. Yeah. So we're right now?

That doesn't matter that one. No. Yeah. You were a dance teacher. I never worked before. only dance. And even, you know how the kids get their jobs and the same like that?

I never. I only dance. And then I was dance. I used to teach dance lessons. Yeah. And dance. But nothing else. Nothing else apart from dancing.

It's just been dance, darling. What was Gemma's first job? Next question. I know that one. And unfortunately, she didn't take anything from that job because she would have been better. J.D. Sports.

I did work experience at J.D. Sports in Bury. It shows when it comes to full clothes. They asked me to stay on because I was good at it. Personality. So I did. I used to hate going on the tills because I hated doing the maths and stuff. But they asked me to stay on, so I did. And then about six months into it, I got the part in Holyoaks.

But I was too polite at the time to tell JD sports that I had this Holyoaks job. So I was still going into JD on a Saturday morning. I used to do like nine till two. And then it got to the point where people at the time. the till was saying he on Holyoaks and the boss took me aside and said you can leave you know if you want and I said oh can I because I'm working on the telly now as well and he let me leave but I loved it there he lead it's not JD anymore now is it I don't know it's been changed is JD I didn't even get a discount on the year stock you have the show as JD yeah yeah

it was a good life it was a nice group of people like that JD nice shout out JD Sports in Barry yeah who said I love you first The def of me, yeah, it was goaker. Yeah, I think you might have been drunk though, so you never know if you mean it if you swelled. You get the confidence to say it in drink, but then you think, do you mean it? Because you've had a few tequilas.

Yeah. The next question, first holiday you took together. It was Tenerife or Ibiza. I can't remember which one we did first. Really? You know which one was first? You're just making it up? No.

Really? Because there's the one of us that were, Do you remember those horrible Pat pictures came out? And I was mortified. It was Tenerife, wasn't it? After the tour. Tenerife, straight after the tour, we went. For five days.

It was the one that had the video. Remember we doing the thing and stuff? Yeah. He used to go to that gym. Those awful pictures came out. I was on the beach. Well, they're not awful. It's just, I mean...

It wasn't awful. We were just playing in the... And actually, it was the last day. And we were in this, actually, it was like a quiet beach because it was part of another hotel. and we went there because she was more quieter and we ordered some food and the food came and we were having food

so we were like sad between the two sunbeds eating food she was sad and then she wanted some if I could put her like a sun cream so I got the sun cream but I was making the jogging instead of then do the sand cream I squeezed the water cream on all over her so she was like on her face at the same time the 500 meters away in the clips

was this random paparachi deciding to take pictures and we found out so that pap he was actually all right wasn't he? Yeah. And we asked him, like, I was like,

genuinely, we booked this so privately, how did you find out we were coming here? And he grasped up, I'm not going to say the airline, because I'm not going to throw anyone on the bus,

but he told us that the airline who we booked with told them, so they had an agency, they had an agency in Manchester, the airline we booked with told the agency what flight we were on. So they got on the same flight and they trailed us from the airport

to the hotel. And he said, so I knew you were that. You were at that hotel. It was fine because he had a job to do. But since then, we've always booked in a different way. We booked three different flights and three different hotels. In different countries also.

No, but bless him for telling us. He was just dead honest. He was like, yeah, because he had his job to do. But yeah, cheeky airline. He said that's how we always do it. Yeah, we have a little backhander with the airline. It's fine. Yeah, I mean.

She'll go cream on the face. Yeah, he was pretending to wipe semen on my face. in the form of sun cream and that's the pap shot. I was doing D4. So, yeah, he was young. Crikey. Now I wipe something else. And people are, oh my God, you're so disgusting.

You're so obviously set that up. No, we didn't. I would have set up one breathing in on all fours. Anyway, after that, who is more romantic? Gorka, we don't need to write that down. He's the queen, the king, queen of romance. Who would survive longer on a desert island? She would say her, but I don't think so.

You'd probably last longer because you've got more meat on. you've got more muscle mass so you'd survive longer if there was like a drought. I need more food then. But I think I'd be more in tune of what needs doing because I've seen Rambo, I've seen predator, I know how to survive in the wild. How do you know how to do fire? I know how to make a fire. Okay.

Jack Osborne is a generally in doing. Do you know how to fish? I lived in the jungle and I'm a celebrity. What are you going to eat of? I won't fish because I can't kill the fish. You'll have to kill it for me. No, because you don't need fish. Meat?

You only can any leaves and nuts. You'd be like Tom Hanks. won't you with Wilson I would love to go on an island you're going to go on an island you're going to do the island in Spain don't you Survivor but they do it for three months

it was now I was asked to if I wanted to go and do it I would love to with childcare though I know imagine me saying to my mum can you do the school for three months

they go to Dominican no to Honduras where's that Honduras in the Caribbean imagine like three months in Honduras of my speed I was doing salsa one two three one two three

you'd be starving though I don't think you caught without the food lastly who is funnier This week is making me itchy. I think you're the funnier one. I'm getting funnier, but I don't know. I think you're unintentionally funny.

You're fine, under the years. I keep forgetting I've got a man. You look like a... Is it an aunt? I look like a show girl. No, no, no. My nose is very itchy with his hair. That's all we've got time for today.

An anniversary show. I think it's safe to say after eight years, those questions, we got them all right, didn't we? I know. We know each other. We know each other quite well, don't we? And we've had sex at least twice, because we've got Mia and Tiago.

Twice. All's well in the Atkinson-Markez household. Just twice? Yeah, no. She wishes. No, I don't. That would be a problem. What?

If the piping stopped, then I'd be like... I expect that after 20 years, not eight. Thank you for tuning in. Lost in Translation at Bowermedia.com. Or at lost.com. And the mobile number is, I still don't know that off the top of my head. Ferreuse you a day.
