In Part 2 of Lost in Translation, we continue the conversation on the 5 love languages and how people can deeply care for one another while still feeling unseen, unheard, or disconnected. From words of affirmation to acts of service, physical touch, quality time, and gifts — we explore how love can be expressed clearly by one person and completely missed by another.

VJ and Tina are back, and this time they're diving into love languages — but first, they have to address the internet's feelings about VJ's wife and the food situation.Inspired by Gary Chapman's "The Five Love Languages," this episode breaks down why so many relationships feel like two people talking past each other. VJ opens up about growing up with a single mom and how words of affirmation shaped the way he gives and receives love — and how he used that same insight to reach his son when typical discipline wasn't working. Tina gets into why receiving gifts is her primary love language, tracing it back to childhood memories, and shares the Valentine's Day story that still has her tight.They also get into quality time — and why being in the same room doesn't mean you're actually present.Part 2 drops next week with receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.
