Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Abono Transporte Único: A New Era in Spanish Transit
[00:05 – 03:21]
- Announcement: Pedro Sánchez’s government has introduced a €60 monthly national transport pass, enabling travel across Spain via cercanías, media distancia, and state buses. For under-26s, the price is halved to €30.
- Implementation: Starting January, the pass will be available nationwide.
- Hosts’ Take:
- Eva and Nacho fantasize about budget-friendly “interrail” trips and recall memories of old trains.
- The pass could stimulate youth romances and band formations across distant towns (“Esto va a fomentar mucho los romances adolescentes porque… van a poder ser de una punta de la comunidad a otra” – Eva, 01:57).
- Nacho reminisces about quirky train details, like "la multa por tirar del freno de mano sin permiso. Son 100 pesetas” (01:22).
- Limitations: Challenges if you live far from mainlines, especially more remote or mountainous areas.
- Comic Relief:
- “Te gusta muchísimo orinar en un autobús que va de Alicante a Barcelona? Ha llegado el momento.” (Nacho, 02:39)
- Eva jokes about someone finally seeing their dream fulfilled: “Por fin. Por fin es mi momento.” (03:05)
Memorable Quote
- Nacho, [00:54]: “Por 60 euros te haces un interrail bien guapo dentro de España.”
2. Nuevas Palabras en el Diccionario de la RAE
[03:21 – 07:14]
- Update: The RAE adds 330 new entries, with less “pretensión” than previous years.
- Notable Word Additions:
- “OK”, “millenial”, “turismofobia”, “ovulatorio”, “chapar”, “marcianada”, “loguearse”, “streaming”, “crudívoro”, “boca chancla”, plus phrases like “hacer un simpa” and “juguete roto”.
- Hosts’ Commentary:
- Nacho expresses delight at the official inclusion of popular expressions, making playful remarks about language evolution.
- The confusion around “ovulatorio”—whether it’s a room or a process—sparks jokes:
- “Sonaba eso. Me voy al ovulatorio. Ay, me duele un poco la espalda. Voy al ovulatorio a ver si me dan una receta.” (Eva, 04:36)
- “[La] RAE es tu abuelo intentando utilizar el vocabulario que utilizas.” (Nacho, 04:54)
Team Campaign: ‘Buencha’ to the Dictionary
- The crew jokes about a long-time campaign led by Roberto Rahona (of the writing team) to add “buencha” (good guy) to the dictionary.
- “Todo el rato está intentando que buencha funcione. Bueno, él está en ello.” (Eva, 05:52)
- Nacho: “Yo de vez en cuando la uso y siempre que la uso pienso en él. Además, Robert es muy buencha.” (06:08)
- Suggestions for Additional Words:
- “Madrear”, “turra”, “flexear”, “lache”, and “alikindoy”.
- The word “flexear” confuses Eva, who just learned it means “presumir”. (06:35)
