We have fun, we play games, we solve dilemmas, we catch up, I look dishevelled because it's been manic with the kids on my own at the minute. My eye backs are on my chin.

Yeah, we breathe and we move on. Gorka's body's broken from dancing. My soul is broken from solo parenting for six weeks nearly. But yeah, we listen, we don't judge, we move on. There we do. Bommonos. Going back to what you said about the tour, funny enough, there is no show that when I meet people,

they haven't mentioned at least once about the podcast, about how much they love the podcast, how funny we are, how much they enjoy it, how much they relate to us. So it's so good to hear, you know, because now a lot of people, instead of coming to me and go, oh my God, I love the show,

I go like, I love the podcast with you and Jemma. So this is amazing. So thank you very much. Glad that you enjoying it. Oh, yeah. I love how you said how funny we are. Just casual. Yeah, how amazing we are, how funny we are.

You just said before that you are kind to me, so I'm funny to. Yeah. No, it's nice because it's like we had the message from the listener last week on one of the dilemmas that we solved. She was saying it's nice to know people are going through the same stuff. I think regardless of what you do for a living, you still go through the same things in life as every other. person. So it is nice and it's nice to hear from people because it makes us feel better as well,

doesn't it? Yeah, because you feel like, yes, we are not alone in this. We are not the only one. It happens to everybody. So yeah, it makes you feel like, oh, it's a relief. It's not just me. It's not just me. You're still in London. Have you done any tourist attractions? Yeah, I went to self-free chairs. I went to having Nichols. I went to... Of course you did. What is the other one? What's that toy shop called? Hamleys. Hamleys. Where is the one in Nice Bridge? Harrods. So yeah, very touristic places, yeah.

Do you remember when my first mama bear parenting instinct came out in Hamleys when we took Mia? It was hilarious. How old was she? She was probably about to be one year old, not even that. In fact, the pillar that Mia has to sleep with is the picture of that week. of her and I in the hotel bed together. You tell the story. I'll let you tell it.

There was this huge pool ball that Mia loved at the time. She was obsessed to be on the pool, throwing balls. And it was this little, yeah, like ball pool, yeah. And he was this boy around like four or five little menace. He kept running and jumping into the pool. And once he did it and sweep Mia. And Gemma went like, just be careful. She's too little.

You can do that to her. Okay, he went back and ran into the bull and throw the balls to Mia. So he threw and hit Mia on the head with the ball. So Gemma put her arm under all the balls, so you couldn't see her arm. Grab her foot and went, fume, and sweep them like under the balls. The little boy literally flew over, fell backwards in the bull, but he was a... Star screaming, Mommy, I fell! And Gemma went like, just don't do it again.

Yeah, but he was throwing balls at her head. Like he was sat, he was throwing balls at all the little kids. And the ball pool he was in, he had to be two and under. He was at least five. He shouldn't have even been in that area. Do you know what I mean? He needed a dormant. He was throwing balls at kids' heads.

And I said to him, I said, oh, I said, please don't do that. I said, because these are only babies. That's how I said it. And he looked at me like this. Carried on throwing them. And I thought, you need teaching. So I just knocked his ankle a little bit. And he just fell back.

But he didn't throw balls again. Do you know what I mean? And his mum didn't do anything either, did she? Yeah, but make sure no kid was harm, yeah? It was a soft pull. It wasn't nothing. So please don't take this into a very dramatic situation now, yeah? It would be, Gemma, attacks a four-year-old.

Yeah. But yeah, don't come from my kids and you won't get sweeped. That's my advice on that. Should we move on before we reveal what else I've done? done wrong to other people's kids. Should we read some listener messages? So from SkyBlue, sorry to say, I have only just started listening to the podcast. Don't apologies, yeah?

It's never too late. You started, that's what matters. Getting through them now, but just heard Gemma say her dad is from Dan Fries. Yes, he is from downfries. Love this. I'm from down friez. We'd love to hear more about him. Where did he work, etc.

Although, if he's too personal and would rather not to tell, I totally understand. Loving the podcast. Could you tell us a bit more about your dad, Gem? That's what a sky blue ask. Of course I will, Sky Blue. My dad was a legend. The man, the myth, the legend, David.

So it was my grandma Willamina, who was from Dunfries in Arnan. What a name, Wilhelmina. Willamina, yeah, but we called Amin. That's why Nina, my sister's called Nina. Willamina, Nina. But, yeah, they were from Dunfrey. and we used to have a caravan in Cacubri,

which would go to, gosh, every Easter, every summer, sometimes New Year, we'd go to Cacubri, we'd go to the Bonnie Galloway pub, which if anyone's local to Cacubri you'll know about. But yeah, I kind of, whenever we go to Scotland, I always feel at home a little bit. I feel like maybe my spirit animal was William Wallace. I love Scotland.

But no, my dad, he was an engineer. He was a manager of a company. He was extremely talented. He built Kodram Super Sevens. He used to race sports cars at the weekend. When he wasn't working, he used to let me and my best friends go in the back of his pickup truck. Because back then, he didn't really care about safety. It was so much more fun.

We used to sit in the back of his pickup. Obviously, there was no roof, and he'd just ride us around the estate. I used to play in the garage with him, building cars He was, yeah, he was like six foot odd Jet black hair, brown eyes My sister looks like my dad, I look like my mum Although I've got my dad's cheeks when I smile, I'm told But yeah, I'm gutted that

It does make me gutted a little bit That you didn't meet him gawks Oh, no, you always say that I know because my dad was very he had a very dry sense of humor but he loved dancing like to the point of embarrassment whereby like my mum

said at any event, any party your dad was the first one on the dance floor and we're like Jesus David stop it but he danced even though he couldn't dance at all bless him his favourite song was James sit down oh sit down oh sit down he loved that

and he used to always say I don't care if there's music I'll dance it. So the fact that you're a dancer, he would be like, he'd be with you now on tour. He'd come to every show. It'd be like your little groupie. And Janet is second wife, who I'm still in contact with. I see Janet a lot. She's wonderful. She used to say the same when they first went on their holiday. I said, how was it? And she said, it were good, Gemma. She said, but oh, she said, he wouldn't stop dancing. She said, you know, if there was music come on in the clubhouse, he'd be up there on his own. He just didn't care.

That's good, have fun That's a bit about my dad, SkyBlue. Thank you for your message. But yeah, I just, I wish Gorka could have met him because I think you'd alight him. Yeah. The next one, the next message is from T. Hmm, just says T.

Hey guys, your podcast is so jokes. That's what they've put, I didn't just say so like that. They've put so double triple O. Your podcast is so jokes. I just wanted to ask, as you are both big dog people, would you be friends with someone

who wasn't a dog person. Gemma probably not because the first day they said when we met and we got together she was like, if my dogs wasn't like you, you don't like dogs or animals, I won't be with you. No, I wouldn't not be friends with someone because of it. I would just question why they wouldn't like a dog. If you'd been, like, you're scared of cats

because you were attacked by a cat. I totally understand that. But I don't understand how a normal person who's had no bad experience with a dog, I just can't understand how they wouldn't like them given how loyal they are. I just haven't met a person I think that it doesn't like a dog. I met a lot of people who doesn't like cats

but I have never met a person that doesn't like a dog. Cats are more dislike than dogs because the cats are less stressful and also cats are more like independent. They live, you know what I mean? Even when you watch a movie like when you watch the secret life of pets, for example, dogs and cats. The dogs are like friendly, funny. You see the cats, the cats are not the baddies,

but they are like living on the streets, living their own life, you know, like, no rules. So it's the same thing in real life. Cats are very like, they can be next to you, like, looking at you, like, happily and then they go doof and just like smack you in the head. You know what I mean? For no reason. Yeah. I'm more comfortable, I'm a lot more comfortable around dogs, but I have got friends like, I think I told you, one of my friend, he doesn't like dogs, but he was bit by a corgi on his paper round. So that's why. And he gets so embarrassed because he says,

I feel like of all the dog breeds, it was a corgi who bit him. But I understand that. But I just think, I think life's better with pets, especially with the dog. My grandma had a cat called TC. And TC, it used to sit on your knee and do that thing with its paws.

And I was a, I didn't like not like him because he was a cat, but I didn't feel comfortable around him as I did dogs. but no I would be friends with someone who wasn't a dog person but I would, after a few gin and tonics I would say to them, why do you not like dogs? That's what I'd ask and drink.

This one is from Haley. It says, hi Gemma and Gawker. I love your podcasts and I'll listen at 5am in our makeshift gym before the kids get up and I start my busy day as a teacher. Well done Ailey for getting in the gym at 5am.

That is effort. Well done. She says, I think Gemma will love this story. We've got two kids, three cats and both have good jobs. I really wanted a dog, but only a rescue, but my husband said no because we haven't got the time. Anyway, I found one in Macedonia that I fell in love with and I got through the interview to adopt, but my husband was still saying no. The dog I wanted also had a sister who was dumped at four weeks old.

Anyway, my husband agreed and said we couldn't separate them. So they both traveled all the way from Macedonia last week. They are stunning, almost two years old and have the most gentle nature. My boys adore them. Leadless to say, my husband's also falling in love. Here's a photo. The black and white one is named Oreo

and the tan one is Bailey. Oh, Gorka look. No, they're very cute. That's a jump from saying no. No to one dog to yes for two. Oh, I need to know how you convinced him, Haley. I need to have a chat with Haley privately. I say no.

Gorka Gawker No Right well You get another dog I will spend 365 days on tour We were at an open day At Bleakalt the other week

For their spring fair And obviously Tiago's nearly three And two of the team came up to me Because you're not allowed to get them at Bleakult Until your kids are three and above And they came up to me with two dogs And said he's three in July in there And I said yeah

And he said look at this one with just had in. And oh, Gorka, it was beautiful. It was so nice. I even said to Mia, do you want to hold him? And she was like, yeah. And then she looked at my uncle Clive. Clive was with us and she went, my papa wouldn't like this, Clive. Yes. Don't try to use the kids to have another dog. You're convincing them. So then they're going to get upset and I have to give up and be like, yes, have another dog. Do not do that. That's the plan then, isn't it? Have another dog. I go 365 days on tour. deal

okay fine look at his face but I love that you've done that that's a really nice thing to do so and I love the chaos of your family two kids three cats two dogs and you're still in the gym

at 5am you are Wonder Woman Haley I hope you all have a lovely lovely life together we got another one about Freddie the Skirle and the Birds from Nikki Hi guys I listen to your show every week

thank you for keeping me entertaining at work. I'm a dog walker, so I'm always out and about listening to your podcast. Gemma, I know how much you love feeding the birds and squirrels. You should download the Merlin ID app. It recorded sound of birds in your area and identify them for your base on the sounds they make. A few people have told me about the Merlin app and I might actually do it because we have in our garden, I've said to you Anna Gawker and he's act on arsed because he probably is unassed, but We've got two robins and they get on. They don't fight.

And normally the males, the robins are very territorial. And these ones, they don't fight at all. They actually have travelled together. So I think maybe the brothers. I don't know if that's a thing or not. Maybe a couple. Could be. But I will download that app, Nikki.

That's a good idea. It is a good idea. And then I can sit at, oh my God, as if I've gone from podiums in BCM to sitting in the garden with a Merlin app identifying birds, how my life has changed. Yeah. Where was the fan gemma? This is the fun it gets for me now.

This, a coffee listening to a Merlin Bird app is my idea of a great day out. Our sponsor today is Whoop and I honestly wish I had my Whoop when Mia was tiny and I was running on about three hours sleep wondering why I felt like absolute rubbish. And I still feel like rabbi sometimes but at least now we know why. Whoop tell us what our bodies are really. really doing. Right? And instead of going, I'm tired. I don't know why. Maybe it's the weather. It's like having a little coach, a little PT that actually stays on your arm. Actually, my recovery's been 25% actually, so it's told me not to go into a massive workout. I need to rest. For me, it's about understanding

when I can push in training versus when my body needs rest. Because with dance, tour, the kids, with everything, you think you should always be going full speed. But you can't. That's the thing. And whoop helps you make smarter decisions with your training. instead of just guessing it. Like, should I have that extra coffee and get an early night? Listen to your whoop. It tracks your sleep, strain and recovery. All the things that busy parents never have time to think about it.

But probably we should. Exactly. It's like finally understanding your own energy instead of just hoping for the best and wondering why you're knackered by Tuesday. If you want to stop guessing and start understanding what your body actually needs, go to whoop.com. Right, let's do our debauching.

debates for the week, but again, we're going to have to mix it up because we've not been around each other to annoy each other. Yes. Is your life been better or worse without me physically, in it, for the last six weeks? Worse. That's good to know. Yeah, because everybody and everything gets on my nerves. Because I'm not there at the end of the day for you to vent.

No, it's just because I can no mourn to someone about things. That's what I mean. So I need to hold them on. And also, we don't speak Matt on the phone. Yeah, that's what I mean. You're not there to vent. I come home and go, how's your day? And he says, well,

and then Spanish Victor Meldrew comes out. For example, what happens is when I go away, I get more attached. So, for example, the things, this is where, again, another thing, there's no lost in translation, but when I get away, I want to speak to you more. I want to see you more and, like, know more about everything because I'm not there. Because when I'm there, I know it. You go the opposite way.

When I'm not there, you kind of, like, go more distant, more like, you want to speak less to me. You want to, like, no, call me as much. Don't know about me. Because then it kind of, like, for you, goes, like, just get on with it. you know what I mean? So then it's like a class of like, okay, actually I want more attention.

I want to know more about you. I want to hear you more. I want to speak to you more. But you go to the opposite. So then it's like, okay, bye. That is true. I call you. You're like, yeah, you're okay.

Yes. Okay. All right. And I'm like, oh, great. I spoke to you for like. The other day you called me and when I hung up and then I don't know why, I went to my phone calls. And I look at the phone call from you. And you know how long it was a phone call 20 seconds?

What time was it? What we were doing? But you were at home? I wouldn't have just spoke to you for 20 seconds It was a 20 second phone call So it was a bit like How's the kids? Yeah, they're in bed Okay

And you, yeah, good, I'm getting for bed Oh, okay, all right then show Yeah, good, okay, bye That was a phone call I bet it was in the interval of the show No But I, that's how I deal with you being away Like you say, it's either

Out of sight, out of mind Our absence makes the heart grow Fonda And I find if I wallow In self-pity and miss you and be like, oh, God, then everything suffers. I have to just be on it and think, right? This is the situation. You've got to crack on with it.

Feeling sorry for yourself ain't going to make you come back quicker. It's not that you feel sorry, but I just want to speak to you more because I'm not there. So I want to know more things about what's going on. Keep you updated, you know what I mean? If I go like, if I go the way that you go, I will not go back. I will be like, okay, I'm done. That makes sense? Oh, no.

See, I always come back. So I will be like, I'm used to be on my own now. Then it's fine. Bye. Yeah, no, I'm used to being on my own, but I prefer being with you. So I always come back, don't worry about that. I'm the biggest boomerang there is. Throw me as far away as you can.

I'll always do that you turn back and slap you in the neck. Okay. I did send you a video the other day, though, when in terms of what's going on, I downloaded the CCTV footage of the bird. I told you about flying into the wall. And I sent to him, and he replied, he said, what is this? and then he put, oh my gosh.

Yeah. But how quick was I out the house scooping that little thing up? I was like Dr. Quinn, medicine woman. I know. So the debate is, it's more of a question. What's one of the things that were excited to do once squaw was back from tour? I'm excited to go in the sun and the ice bath. I thought you had, have you not got a little ice bath on tour this time?

I saw a picture of Kai in a little inflatable bath. Yes, we have them because here myself requests to buy it. And I was going to buy myself from my pocket. if no. So then that's why everybody now has an ice bath after the show. Really? I saw an ice bath and I saw you all doing red light as well. I was like, you know what? It's my last dude. I'm not coming back here. So you're going to spend the money now and get an ice bath. I go like, guys, what do you want? You want to ice bath? You want to fish every Monday? Don't worry. I'll ask for it because I'm not coming back,

so I will ask it. I will demand it. So now I'm demanding everything. Well, yeah, I know. I saw it. I saw it. They've all been posting pictures of themselves, in it after this. It genuinely does help though, doesn't it? Especially if you've been dancing loads. Yeah. Because also they're putting us on a little like plastic buckets.

They only reach to our knees. So get one. It costs 60 pounds, you know. It's not that much of money. It's inflatable. You can put it everywhere. And at least people can go, if it doesn't want to go full, just the legs,

you can have two boys or two girls standing at the same time. And if you're going to go fully in, you just sat down and the water reaches to your, like, belly. So you get your, like, for example, me and Julian will say, to be honest, we need it for our lower backs and the hips and everything,

you know what I mean, from all the leaves and everything. So we really need to be able to sit down in it. Well, good for you for standing your ground with the ice bath. Should we solve someone's dilemma? Yes, probably would be better. So this week's dilemma comes from Brooke, and she says, Hi, guys, my husband is a huge Arsenal fan,

and we are talking a die-hard Arsenal fan. He never misses a guy hard arsenal fan. game. I love to see him so passionate about something and he's very excited to get the kids involved when they are older. The only thing is if Arsenal win a game, any other plans after are written off, I've got to the point once it was my 40th birthday the same day as a game. And if Arsenal won, he wouldn't be joining the party. That's rude. Does this seem a bit excessive? I don't want to dampen his spirits as it's one of his favorite pastimes. But as the kids get older, I don't want them or me to miss out on the time with him because he's spending the evening celebrating.

I can't base my life around whether Arsenal win or lose. No, you can't. That's too much. Very much too much. And I feel sorry for her because Brooke, Arsenal just won the semifinals of the Champions League, which means they're going to Bucharest or Budapest for the final of the Champions League, which again, probably he will want to go because he's not going to happen back again in the next 10, 15 years. So if I was you, I'll say, yeah, you can go, but don't waste the money because they are not going to win it.

Because they are playing against PSG. And let's be honest, PSG are going to demolish them. It's going to be an embarrassment of a game for Arsenal. That's the silver line in them for Brooke. But as if he wasn't going to attend a 40th birthday party if they won. Actually, I would be like, oh, I want against the game. But even if maybe start the party later so I can finish the game, but I still go to the party. You know what I mean?

I mean, you love Madrid. but not to that extent. No, but it's like, for example, if I said to you, when I was on Strickley and your birthday is always in the Blackpool Week, and I would like, oh, if I make it to next week, I'm not going to your birthday. Yeah, but that's because of work, not because it's not a choice. It's your, it was your job. Yeah.

Yeah. If I was choosing to go and, I don't know, watch a concert on your 40th, because I was a fan, that's a bit, it's not kind, and it's a bit excessive. I mean, the concert is different. because it's life once you cannot watch but for example a football game I would go yeah I'm coming I will have my phone there

with the game on the phone remember that time it was the Euros and it was Spain Portugal huge game of the Euros of the World Cup and you made me go to this charity event with you and the charity event started

at the same time that the game was starting and I was under the table with the football game I do remember that yeah I do yeah it was swimming I mean I'm like that with sports I love watching them

but I'm you know it's I think I get embarrassed sometimes when I see football yobs like some of the British fans I mean that's what I Do remember when Bill Bow was over here and all the press were raving about how respectful and kind

and sensible the Bill Bow fans were but yet when English football like you see grown men literally fighting in the street proper spitting vile insults to each other just because of a team and you think I'd be I'd be so embarrassed if I saw one of my relatives or mates on telly,

effing and jeffin at a footballer because of how they played the game. That happens everywhere. It's not just here. It happens in every country there. There's always like, and it's not a general thing. It's more like those. You have groups of like people who are very passionate and very like, you know, like football.

I don't know. I think in England you call it like hooligans. In Spain we call them ultras, which they're like super like, you know, like the team. Yeah, wow. And it's just a group of people. The only thing is that everywhere you only hate about those things, but I think there's so many other thousands football fans that are very respectful and very, like, caring, you know?

And, like, they really love the sport, and they are very nice, you know, if they win or lose. But it happens everywhere. In Spain, it happens sometimes, like, when you're all, like, in Italy, the TIFOC, when you see, like, the Champions League and Real Madrid have to win the game, if you see, like, the things that the football really, like, ultra fans do, is ridiculous. You go, like, guys, what are you doing?

It's just a football game, you know? Yeah, it's embarrassing. You're not going to get nothing from it. Like, it's not, for example, when people ask me about football, I love football and I'm passionate, but at the end of the day, if, let's say, for example, if Madrid didn't make it to the final, yeah, fine, are you going to be sad? Well, maybe yes, because I would love them to win the Champions League again,

but I'm not, like, devastated, you know what I mean? Win it or not, doesn't give me anything. Doesn't give me money. Doesn't going to make me earn the money. They're the ones making the millions, not me, so. I just watch her. If he doesn't win, fine. There it goes.

My friend, you know, Claire, so Claire, as a friend of mine, she's the editor-in-chief of men and women's health. And her son, she's background, is rugby. She's obsessed with rugby. She goes to all the rugby games. She knows the sport in her now. And she always tells me how more secure and safe she feels in a rugby crowd than a football crowd. She said if she takes a lad to watch a rugby game,

she said it's just like a different there's still passion there she said and there's still shouting and this and that but she said there's nowhere near the aggression and I said I thought that would be the opposite because in rugby they'd like battering each other and she said no that's the thing she said rugby players spend the whole game

pretending not to be injured so they can carry on playing and she said footballers spend the game pretending to be injured so they can get away with stuff yeah but I think that goes that again down to the sports and how through the years the sports background or where the sports sits

like football sits more on a working class, low-class community. You know, like when I think rugby is more like medium-high class community. So again, maybe they have, like it's a more respectful, more like cultural thing, you know what I mean? Like your public school boys?

Yeah. And yeah, I would say like post people play rugby, pure people play football without offending anybody. yeah. Oh, you'll always offend someone, cox. That's why in Spain we don't have rugby because everybody is poor.

Yeah, we call them egg chuckers over here. We say they chuck eggs. But Brooke, in terms of your dilemma, which we've massively digressed from, apologies, yeah, you do need to have a word with him because as passionate and into his football as he is, his family should come first before the game. Then footballers aren't his family.

You can be up the Arsenal, diard fan, but your family comes first. So have a word and let us know. And for anyone else wanting to get in touch and send us a dilemma like Brooke has, it's Lost in Translation at bowermedia.com.com. At lost.com. Podcast for all social media.
