After a busy Easter and ANZAC Day break, Samantha and Luis return to Lost in Translation full of energy, laughs, and a little competitive fire! They kick things off by recapping their holiday adventures—from juggling family events and house projects to discovering their new favorite rivalry: battling it out on Mario Party and Mario Kart (and yes, things did get heated).

But it wasn’t all fun and games. They also took part in Australia’s election cycle, and dive into a lively conversation comparing Australia’s voting system to Colombia’s. From mandatory voting to the relaxed sausage sizzle culture at Aussie polling stations, Samantha shines as she masterfully explains the Australian electoral process to Luis (and honestly, to all of us). Meanwhile, Luis shares how the experience felt compared to the often high-stakes and tense atmosphere of elections back home in Colombia.

It’s an episode packed with holiday reflections, playful competition, cultural insights, and a reminder that even elections can come with a side of laughs (and maybe a few Mario Kart rematches). Tune in—you’re in for a ride!
