Date: January 18, 2026
Main Theme:
A deep dive into the viral phenomenon of the "Crepero de la Rotonda" in Andorra, a crepe shop owner famous for his sharp-tongued banter and unapologetic, humorous insults to customers—an approach that turned his business into a local landmark and social media sensation. Hosted by Wall Street Wolverine, the conversation explores entrepreneurship, the economic and social transformation of Andorra, the controversial role of language in the country, and the personal journey behind the viral character.

1. Origins of the Viral Phenomenon and Social Media Strategy

How It All Started

• Initial Viral Video: The guest explains his first viral video involved a customer speaking in Catalan, sparking humor over the code-switching between Catalan and Spanish in Andorra.
  Quote: "¿Qué está pasando aquí fuera? ¿Son tontos? ¿Por qué no se hablan un idioma entre ellos?" [04:13]
• TikTok Journey: Originated from a video his cousin posted; then, on advice from another cousin, he began recording himself joking with clients. The persona evolved naturally as audience reactions increased ("El personaje revienta"). [16:00–17:19]
• The Insulting Style: The "insult" approach was accidental but became his trademark after noticing these clips went viral. [17:27–17:54]

Handling Feedback

• Early Backlash: He received insults and threats early on, but faced these with humor and perseverance.
  Quote: "La gente estaba en mi contra... la envidia es muy mala." [18:04]
• Fans & Haters: Now, both positive and negative reactions fuel the business. Many come specifically to be roasted.

2. Entrepreneurship, Business Philosophy, & The Realities of Andorra

Work-Life Balance and Business Model

• Deliberate Small Scale: Prefers a small shop—no employees, less stress, more freedom.
  Quote: "Mi sueño de toda la vida ha sido un local pequeño, trabajar poco, ganar mucho y tener tiempo libre." [56:15]
• Reduced Hours: Now works just 4 hours daily, focusing on living, not only on working.
  Quote: "Trabajo de 6 a 10... Yo he venido a la vida para vivir. Si puedo trabajar 4 horas, trabajo 4 horas." [25:54, 27:31]
  • Notable Moment: Hosts joke about "living like YouTubers"—late risers, prioritizing life over relentless grind. [27:24]

Obstacles & Adaptability

• Finding a Local: Took 8 years of active searching to secure his current premises. [15:54]
• On Expansion: Rejects scaling up, fearing loss of essence, quality, and personal touch.
  Quote: "Imagínate que quiero expandir y montar locales... es imposible hacerlo como yo." [57:13]

Business and Social Environment in Andorra

• Changing Demographics: The country, once dominated by settled immigrant families, now increasingly filled with temporary, low-wage workers, making stable community life difficult. [08:54–10:08]
• Soaring Cost of Living: Difficult for families or young professionals to live decently; wages lag behind rent and expenses.
  Quote: "Pagas 1500 euros de sueldo, pero hay que vivir con 10 personas para poder pagarlo." [08:54]
• Legal & Bureaucratic Hurdles: Sharing run-ins with local government (regarding food trucks, street vendors, and rules for his crepería), frustration with arbitrary enforcement and conservative stance on new ideas. [44:13–46:09]

3. Social Commentary: Language & Identity in Andorra

The Language Debate

• Catalan vs. Spanish: Guest, though fluent in Catalan, prefers Spanish—sees debate as exaggerated and politicized, especially by outside influences from Catalonia.
  Quote: "Si yo le digo que quiero hablar español, el tío me dice que quiere hablar el catalán. Hay que hablarlo. Si, habla. Pero no me gusta. Que te quede en la cara que no me gusta." [05:37]
• Official Language Policy: Critiques obligations for workers to begin in Catalan; argues for pragmatism and tool-function over identity politics. [93:46]
  Quote: "Yo hablo francés cuando viene francés. Hablo el español cuando viene español. Hablo el catalán cuando me viene el catalán..." [93:26]
• Demographic Pressures: With more temporary foreign workers, he predicts Catalan may decline, despite well-intentioned language laws. [92:05]

4. Going Viral: The Power and Pitfalls of Social Media

The Formula

• Triggering and Entertaining: He understands that making people angry or amused is the key hook for virality—“rage baiting.” [17:54]
• The "Insulting" Don: Developed "a gift for insulting people without offending them," which is 100% performative and not his real personality.
  Quote: "Tengo un don de insultar y que no le moleste a nadie." [30:07]
• Unexpected Reactions: Hilarious anecdotes of people embracing or misunderstanding his act—several stories of tourists, people with disabilities, and foreigners caught off guard, with laughter as the undercurrent. [57:44–62:01]
• Influencer Effect: Visits from big names like TheGrefg supercharge the viral reach. [33:01]

Mental Toll

• Exhaustion: Performing the character for hours is draining; discusses mental health, the importance of time off, and setting boundaries. [62:01]
  Quote: "Antes trabajaba 12 horas insultando… llegaba a casa que escuchaba mi voz, tenía paranoia." [62:01–62:14]

5. Socio-Political Critique: Andorra’s Shifting Landscape

Housing and Labor Market

• Housing Crisis: Criticism of government for failing to address skyrocketing rents and lack of support for locals, especially the elderly and vulnerable.
• Economic Inequality: Points to the contradiction of rising state revenue (esp. from YouTubers/wealthy arrivals) but minimal benefit for ordinary people. [51:00–52:12]
• Tourism Paradox: Country attracts so-called "low-cost tourists," who contribute little beyond “buying a crepe and a magnet,” raising questions about the economic model. [88:26]

Government & Policy

• Lack of Pragmatism: Frustration with rigid laws, lack of support for business, and missed opportunities to adapt policies to real-world conditions (hour restrictions, public-private collaboration). [100:21–101:30]
• EU Agreement Worries: Fears impending EU alignment will "screw Andorra," raising taxes and erasing competitive advantages. [53:09]

6. Personal Reflections: Risk, Reward & Identity

The Mindset of an Entrepreneur

• Against Victimhood: Reiterates personal responsibility: success comes from years of grinding, not luck; resents those envious of the lifestyle yet unwilling to risk or work hard. [54:51–55:33]
• Failures and Resilience: Business failures (failed locations, denied opportunities), perseverance, and adapting to changing circumstances. [44:13–46:09, 97:00]
• Family and Origins: Deep pride in Andorran and immigrant roots; feeling a duty to “recompensar a mi abuelo" and honor family sacrifices through success. [84:52]

On Fame and Future

• Maintaining Authenticity: Wants to keep business small, personal, and stress-free—“not interested in big expansions or losing the essence.”
• Future Aspirations: Eyeing standup comedy (monólogos), journalism, private chef gigs with a future "event van," but always keeping autonomy, flexibility, and humor at the center. [65:28, 98:09]
• Community Message: Wishes well to fellow Andorrans, but stands by his choices and individuality—“al que le caigo bien, bienvenido, y al que le caigo mal, que se muera de envidia.” [77:41]
